Vandalism troubles business owners Meanwhile, police have little infornnation in sculpture tipping BY TOM TOLEN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Downtown Brighton business owners say young people with too much time on their hands and not enough parental supervision are to blame for damage to a sculpture and the defacing of several buildings in recent months. Last week, vandals tipped over one of the 28 Brighton Biennial sculptures, damaging the base, emptied the contents of nearby trash cans into the Mill Pond and damaged a pedestrian light in the same vicinity. That followed a spray-painting incident last December. Police say they think teenagers are responsible for the sculpture incident. Last week, they arrested a 24-yearold Brighton Township man who was charged with malicious destruction of property for spray-painting graffiti on several buildings in the same area. At least one downtown business owner, Rick Starnes of The Vitamin Company, says he is concerned that the vandalism may cause people to think twice before going downtown. “You see the graffiti, and you start to think maybe it’s not as safe as I thought it was - it’s a detriment,” says Starnes, who is chairman of the Brighton Principal Shopping District, formed last year to promote the downtown area. More enforcement of the downtown curfew is needed, Starnes says. “If you cite (offenders) and start taking them to court, their parents would start knowing where they are at night,” he says. Brighton Police Chief Tom Wightman says the incidents do not necessarily indicate an increase in juvenile crime in Brighton. “It goes in spurts,” he says. However, Wightman says police do not keep separate statistics on downtown crime or juvenile crime, so there is no hard data to verify whether juvenile crime is on the increase in downtown Brighton. The chief says Brighton Police will devote more effort to patrolling the Mill Pond area result of last week’s vandalism. But Wightman says the issue of teens hanging around the park and nearby playground has been around for a SEE VANDALISM, A4 Pinckney race gets a candidate K e v in M a c R itc h ie file s a s w rite -in fo r s c h o o l b o a rd e le c t io n BY LEANNE SMITH N ew s S ta f f R e p o r te r The one local school board seat no one was running for now has a candidate.

The seat will be vacated at the end of next year by third-term Rep. Chris Ward, R-Brighton, due to term limits. Williams, 46, gives as his main reason for running as wanting to “help Michigan through the current crisis.” A Marion Township resident and member of the U.S. Army Reserves, Williams ran for the same seat in 2002 against former state Rep. Judy Scranton, but was forced to withdraw when called to active duty. Brighton Sculptor to donate work to biennial Artist Steven Cannaert, one of the nearly 30 artists with sculptures in the Brighton Biennial, is donating his art work “Don Quixote” for a “worthy cause,” he said. Biennial Curator John Sauve says the sculpture will be sold or auctioned off with proceeds going toward keeping the public restrooms at the pavilion on Mill Pond Lane open year round. The pavilion restrooms are closed during winter and Sauve said that restricts the public’s enjoyment of the sculptures, as well as other downtown attractions. “It sounds like a pretty worthwhile project,” Cannaert says. “If the artists want to donate to the city for such a purpose, that’s fine,” said Brighton Mayor Steve Monet. He said the city is exploring what it would cost to keep the restrooms open year-round. Annual cleanup day is May 12 The city will have its annual spring cleanup day Saturday, May 12, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Department of Public Services building, 420 S.

A driver’s license or proof of residency (tax bill, utility bill) will be required to drop off items. For further information, contact the DPS at 810-225-8001, visit the city’s Web site at www.brightoncity. org or access the local cable TV channel. Medical complex site plan approved The City Council has approved the site plan for the new medical complex proposed by developer Mark Murphy. The 122,000-square-foot building, on three levels, will be built off Challis Road west of Grand River Avenue, across from the University of Michigan Health System’s Brighton Health Center. Murphy says the facility will provide outpatient services and ambulatory care and house medical offices. He is talking to “two large providers,” whom Murphy declined to name, either one of which could occupy up to three-fourths of the building, with the remainder leased to individual practitioners and other medical service providers. The building will have a three-level, mostly underground parking garage with more than 1,000 parking spaces and a roof-level landing pad for medical helicopters. Murphy says he has no immediate plans for construction of the facility.

Christopher Comly, 18, who was set to graduate in June, was southbound early Sunday morning on Blaine Road, south of M-59 in Hartland Township, when the Honda he was driving crossed the center line, went down an embankment and hit several trees, Livingston County Undersheriff Mike Murphy said. Comly, the lone occupant of the car, was not wearing a seat belt. He was pronounced dead at the scene. f “It’s very sad; he was set to graduate this June,” said Hartland schools Superintendent Janet Sifferman. Indications are that the crash took place a couple of hours before the wreckage | was discovered at 6 a.m., according to Murphy. Comly was apparently heading home, and was only a mile from his destination when the crash took place, he added. “This is a tough time of year,” Sifferman said. “We always worry about the students (with graduation and prom night coming up).” Murphy said police are waiting for autopsy results and completion of the accident investigation to determine what caused the crash.

Dodge to be arraigned on charges involving credit union E x -b ra n c h m a n a g e r fa c e s em b e z z lem e n t , ID th e ft c o u n ts BY TOM TOLEN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r The former manager of the Huron River Area Credit Union branch was expected back in court today on charges that he embezzled more than $100,000 and then tried to cover it up by creating fake loans. Jason Stewart Dodge, 31, appeared in 53rd District Court FOR THE before Judge Theresa Brennan last week, where he was bound over to stand trial on charges of embezzlement and identity theft. A second charge was added to the original, 20-year felony charge of embezzlement. Dodge’s attorney, Robert GardeUa of Brighton, refused comment. Dodge has been free on bond, pending his circuit court arraignment today. Dodge is accused of taldng cash from the vault at the Huron River Area Credit Union in Brighton, then trying to cover the losses with fake loans. Auditors investigating the credit union, which is in conservatorship, discovered irregularities at about the same time members started seeing inappropriate activity on their accounts, Brighton Police Lt. Jon Westendorf has said. Police and the FBI found records related to the thefts during a search of Dodge’s home. In February, federal regulators took over operation of the credit union and placed it into conservatorship after the state declared it was in danger of insolvency.

" The outlook for next year, presented Ibesday when the Board of Education convened for a budget workshop, isn’t any brighter. School officials said Howell likely will need to make another $2.1 million in I cuts in the 2007-08 budget it must adopt by July 1. “We have been able to make cuts so far without reducing people, but the most painful thing about the state’s inability to fund education is that now it will come down to staffing,” said Superintendent Chuck Breiner. “We’ve hit the wall.” Roughly 92 percent of Howell’s school funding comes from the state and, with Gov. Jennifer Granholm and the Legislature at odds over how to overcome the state’s $1 billion deficit, making accurate projections for next year isn’t easy. said Associate Superintendent for Finance Rick Terres. The probable scenario, Terres said, is that Howell will see another $1.1 million reduction in state funding next year. Another $1 million will be spent to purchase much-needed items, such as she used buses and new textbooks, and to accommodate three staff contracts yet to be settled, he said. Terres outlined about $2.5 million in savings and reductions for board members to consider and prioritize. Among them is a combined nearly $1.4 million in savings from privatizing the district’s transportation and custodial services, a suggestion that concerned several people in the audience. Another $600,000 could be saved by eliminating the seven-period middle school day, nearly $300,000 could be saved by offering an early retirement incentive to the 40 percent of Howell’s teachers at the top of the district’s pay scale and about $175,000 could be recouped by lengthening the Howell school day to cut 10 days from its school year. The board will hear public input on these options at a 7 p.m. forum May 17 at Howell High School. It plans to adopt next year’s budget at its June 25 meeting. State officials notified public school districts this week that a $121 per-student cut would take effect to allow them to balance Michigan’s budget if the Legislature does not act to rectify the problem. In three of the past five years, the state has promised money, then not paid late in the school year, causing public school districts to dip into reserves, Terres said. In five years, Howell has trimmed nearly $12 million from its nearly $65 million budget and watched its fund balance drop to $1.75 million. The $1 million needed to handle this year’s late cut will come finm that fund balance, Terres said. By no means is Howell alone in this situation. Terres said an estimated 100 of the state’s 556 districts could find themselves bankrupt after this year. The state’s system of funding schools is broken, he told the board. “Schools rely on income tax and sales tax,” Terres said. “When you take high-paying jobs out of the marketplace, (people) are out there spending their money on needs, not wants. That’s the kind of things folks are having to do to survive right now. And that’s not good for (financing) the schools.” Eighty people attending a Citizens for Equity meeting in Fenton last week signed a letter to Gov. Jennifer Granholm and local legislators protesting the system and demanding results that do not punish public schools, said Howell Board President Sue Drazic. “To my knowledge, we haven’t not heard anything back,” Drazic said. “We just want everyone to know we’re working really hard on this.” Meanwhile, Howell continues to face a specific issue on its own doorstep with a teacher contract that has gone unsettled for more than a year,. Insurance costs are the apparent stumbling block Union officials reported Monday that negotiations are scheduled for the coming week and they hope a settlement may soon be soon. “We have seen this crisis coming for years. And it is very, very real,” said Howell Education Association President Doug Norton of the dilemma with state funding. “It is sad, when we should be standing shoulder-to-shoulder, you have picked a fight,” he told the school board. “Just think how much more efficient we could be if we were working together.” New search on for Howell-area rec director C h o s e n cancdiiJate re je cts jo b o ffe r I BY LAURIE HUM PHREY N ew s S ta f f R e p o rte r The Howell Area Recreation Authority is gearing up for another director search following a rejected job offer April 19. They interviewed three candidates and offered the job to Doug Carlisle, area coordinator for the Cincinnati Recreation Commission. He turned it down, delaying the transfer of administrative duties to the authority up to four months as a new search is launched. Carlisle could not be reached for comment. Members of the authority, all I equal voting members from the city of Howell and townships of Marion, Genoa and Oceola, were surprised by Carlisle’s decision, but are focusing on the future and another recruitment effort. “(Commissioners) do not want to force this decision” with limited options, referring to previous applicants, said Howell City Manager Shea Charles. “This job is so critical... and the board wants to make sure they have a good fit.” He and other city personnel are providing support to the authority until it can operate independently in 2008. Employees of the authority an independent entity will run Howell area recreation programming in conjunction with local units of government to secure program sites and recreation equipment. The authority receives funding from the four represented municipalities, with the city of Howell and Oceola Township each contributing $100,000, and Genoa and Marion townships each contributing $57,500. Ta compensate communities contributing at the top and secondary levels, a three-tier fee system for recreational classes and city park-boat launch stickers on Thompson Lake was recently set. It allows two free cify park stickers to Howell and Oceola Township residents, while residents of Marion and Genoa tovmships will pay $40 for the first sticker, $30 for additional stickers. Howell Township residents will be charged $150 for the first sticker, $30 for additional stickers. The change has at least one Marion Township trustee questioning the viability of running a recreation program independent of Howell. “The fees (for stickers and programs) are quite pricey in addition to the $57,000,” said IKistee Les Andersen. “I question if we are getting $57,000 worth.” He requested a breakdown of usage by community so board members could monitor Marion Township participation, and consider a change if warranted. Marion Township 'B'easurer Paula l\^ckoff, who also serves on the Howell Area Recreation Authority, said no change should be considered until the close of the 2007-08 budget. “When the Authority proposed this (plan,) this board passed this 5-0. For us to leave at this point... They are counting on (our) money,” she said. , End in sight for case against Couchman R u lin g w ill c lo s e m a tte r in fo rm e r s u p e rin te n d e n t's fa v o r BY LEANNE SMITH N ew s S ta f f R e p o rte r A scheduled May 17 Livingston County Circuit Court hearing could bring an end to a legal battle between a former Pinckney Community Schools superintendent and a Livingston County Sheriff’s deputy. The hearing was set following an April 13 decision from the Michigan Supreme Court I overturning a May 2006 state Appeals Court decision that Mike Couchman acted outside his authority as a school superintendent by interfering with I Depufy Jason Baker’s employment as a school liaison officer. I The state’s highest court ' remanded the case back to circuit court for formal dismissal, saying that, as an executive of a public entity, Couchman is entitled to absolute governmental Mike Couchman: Back to circuit court for hearing on case. immunity from litigation arising from his job duties. Barring further argument from attorneys representing either party. Circuit Court Judge David Reader will enter an order of compliance of the Supreme Court ruling, closing the case in Couchman’s favor. Baker became Pinckney’s police liaison officer in 2001, but was removed by the sheriff’s department and reassigned to road patrol in 2004 due to his deteriorating relationship with district officials. Baker had claimed that Couchman acted outside his authority as superintendent when he interfered in his investigations into criminal incidents at the high school. Baker filed a lawsuit in Livingston County Circuit Court in 2004 against Couchman and the school district, alleging violations of the Whistleblowers’ Protection Act and interference with his employment. Reader dismissed the alleged WPA violations because Baker is an employee of the sheriff’s department and not the school district. He also dismissed the district from Baker’s allegations of interference with his employment, but did not release Couchman from this claim. Couchman had accused Baker of being overly aggressive and intimidating in dealing with students, especially in a case where he accused a student of stealing another’s gym shorts out of a school locker. Baker claims he was interfered with, retaliated against and dismissed as liaison officer because his efforts to “clean up” the high school gave the district negative publicity. Tension between the two escalated in March 2004 when the sheriff’s department requested that obstruction of justice and witness tampering charges be filed against Couchman after he intervened with Baker’s handling of a tire-squealing incident involving a student leaving the high school parking lot. Couchman said he stepped in to settle things after the parents of one of the students involved told him Baker had threatened their son. The request for charges was dismissed by Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse, who said there was no legal basis to support them. Following mediation, suggested by Morse, Baker was removed from the district by then Sheriff Don Homan, who said the reassignment was not disciplinary but was justified because of a lack of chemistry between the parties. Baker has alleged he lost career opportunities and employment benefits and suffered mental and emotional distress and a loss of reputation in the community.

Howell schools chief receives board's acclimation A m o n g t h e p ra is e , c o n c e r n s o v e r B re in e r's w o r k lo a d B Y C A S E Y H A N S N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r The Howell school board gave a unanimous show of support for Superintendent Chuck Breiner Monday, offering an exceptional evaluation but raising concerns about a dwindling central office staff that has taken on an increased burden. “The consensus is that Mr. Breiner is doing a commendable job,” said Trustee Ted Parsons, who presented the board’s written evaluation. “He has guided the district through some turbulent moments. He is one of the most innovative superintendents in the state of Michigan. “He is a thoughtful, steady leader at a time when school districts are struggling.” Calling him a visionary leader, the board voted 5-0 to approve the evaluation, which encompassed two sessions over the past month that were conducted in private at Breiner’s request. Trustees Jeanne Clum and Mary Jo Dymond were absent. Board members also noted that they were concerned about the workload of Breiner’s central office team. They also cautioned that he needs to better balance his job and his personal life, saying they were worried about how the stress of his job might affect his health. The report also suggests that Breiner evaluate his staffing needs with the upcoming retirement in June of Director of Community Education Marybeth Roose, and “establish a role that could support Central Office.” The evaluation listed the school chief’s strengths as vision, integrity, respect for others, passion for excellence, innovation, communication and community involvement. It applauded his approach to students, which includes oneon- one exit interviews with high school seniors each year as he searches for ways to improve the district. It also noted that Breiner’s education expertise has been called upon by national, state and international groups and that he has kept Howell to compliance with federal and state mandates. Breiner, who has guided the county’s largest district through a time of growth including the building of Howell’s second high school, has three years left on his contract. He earns $140,000 per year. Breiner thanked the board, his staff, parents and students for the show of support and credited them for the district’s success, especially in light of the difficult financial times being faced by public schools. “The future of this district rises and falls on your backs,” he said. “It is about you - I think we have an excellent school system, excellent employees and students. This is mostly because of the work of others and not me.” Board President Sue Drazic told Breiner the board appreciated his hard work and that of his central office staff “who really go above and beyond the call of duty.” PROM SPECIAL! $900OFF Expires 5/31/07 SENIOR EARLY BIRD SPECIAL %4 0 HAIRCUT ^ I L SPECIAL' (62 & up.

The graffiti job, in which various symbols and designs were spray-painted on buildings, was done in December. One of the buildings - the brick Stonefire Bistro at Main and First streets - is still under construction, and Lynn’s Cafe, also brick, is only two years old. A group of teenagers caught by a surveillance camera the night of the sculpture vandalism voluntarily went to the police station to say that although they were in the park that night, they are not the culprits. Wightman says the youths are probably telling the truth. One problem facing police is that the surveillance camera, which sweeps a wide area, does not show anyone actually tipping over the sculpture. “We have no footage of the actual act,” Wightman says. The damaged sculpture, “Decision Pending” by Jay Holland, an abstract depiction of a nude male, has been the subject of criticism by some in the community who say it should either not be so prominently displayed or not displayed at all. Others praise the sculpture and the Brighton City Council was scheduled this week to consider a proposal to move it to a less-prominent location. Craig Heath, owner of the Brighton Bar and Grill, agrees with Wightman that the vandalism is nothing new. “I don’t think there is any more or less (downtown crime) than there has been, but obviously, the statue is going to get more attention,” Heath says. A more important consideration, says Wightman, is whether parents even know their adolescent children are out late at night. Wightman says parents should be aware of their children’s whereabouts at all times. Heath - whose business was hit by the graffiti - agrees that young kids have too much time on their hands “and not enough parental supervision.” Teens caught in the area after curfew will be ticketed, Wightman says.

Voters will pick board of education trustees in the Brighton, Fowlerville, Hartland, Howell and Pinckney districts. Hartland voters also will decide two ballot issues. The South Lyon and Whitmore Lake school board elections are scheduled for November. The seat MacRitchie seeks is the remainder of a fouryear term originally filled by Carol Houston. When Houston moved outside the district and left the board last October, Michelle Crampo was appointed to the seat. Crampo decided to run with incumbent Anne Colone and newcomer Jason Reifschneider for two four-year Pinckney board seats. MacRitchie, 41, is a vice president and chief strategy officer for Cisco Systems Global Defense, National Intelligence and Homeland Security Division. He and his wife, Renee, own Pinckney’s True Value Hardware and Second Story Studio and TMZ Farms in Putnam Township. The MacRitchies, who have lived in the district for 14 years, have two children, Megan, 15, a Pinckney High freshman, and Weston, 11, a Navigator School fifth-grader. He said his commitment to prepare students for jobs in a high-tech global economy prompted MacRitchie to run for the board. That, along with state school financing and budgeting, are the major issues facing the district, he said. “We have great teachers who can do this, but we need to make sure the district has the right process in place to help them,” he said. “We need to make sure that we are connecting what we teach students to how it applies in the real world. I’ll do anything I can to help with that.” MacRitchie is a member of the volunteer Pinckney Community Schools Redesign Team, a group of teachers, administrators, parents and community leaders looking at how to help the district comply with new state high school graduation requirements and help students be successful after graduation. He’s a member of Pinckney’s Downtown Development Authority and Merchant’s Association and the Pinckney-Lakeland-Hamburg- Hell Chamber of Commerce. He and Renee also host the annual Helluva Rodeo, which raises funds for local youth-oriented projects. Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. VETS FROM A1 After retiring, Wallaces make post's survival a priority Linda Wallace said. “Neither of us expected it,” Jim Wallace added. “It just came out of the blue.” For the past three years, the Wallaces have served in the top jobs at Pinckney American Legion Post No. 419 on Whitewood Road in Hamburg Township. He’s the post commander, she’s the president of its women’s auxiliary, and together they’ve helped bring a nearly dead organization back to life. “They have helped take a post that was heading toward closing and revitalized it,” said Bob Heinel, Livingston County Veterans Affairs director. “They have increased membership, made the post a place for all kinds of interesting activities and reestablished it as an important and respected member of the Pinckney community.” The Wallaces were charter members of the Pinckney post and its auxiliary in 1973. Work and raising a fmnily took priority for awhile, but after retiring they made the post’s survival their mission. 'There were only about 94 members when Jim Wallace became Jim & Linda Wallace Ages: Jim, 59; Linda, 58. Home: Putnam Township. Family: Married 40 years. Daughters Angela Wallace and Alysha Garbacik and son Tony Wallace. Three grandchildren and another grandchild on the way. Occupations: He retired as assistant chief of operations of the Ann Arbor Fire Department. She retired as office administrator for Sheridan Books of Chelsea. Community involvement: They are members of St. Mary Catholic Church in Pinckney and the Livingston County Veterans Council. He's post commander for Pinckney American Legion Post No. 419 and on the advisory board for the American Legion 6th District of Michigan. She's president of the Pinckney American Legion Post No. 419 Auxiliary and recording secretary for the American Legion 6th District of Michigan. Pet: Callie, a black Labrador retriever. Hobbies: Traveling, riding their Harley Davidson motorcycle, golf, fly fishing, reading and babysitting the grandchildren. Favorite meal: Mexican. commander. “We didn’t want to lose this charter,” he said. We wanted to let the community know we are still alive.” The Wallaces’ enthusiasm is catching. Post membership today is 147, and its renovated and remodeled building houses parties and dances, country breakfasts and spaghetti dinners and a lounge that’s open four days a week. Jim Wallace thought he would be a mechanical or electrical draftsman after graduating from Dexter High School in 1965. Uncle Sam intervened and he was drafted into the U.S. Army the next year. He did basic training at Fort Knox, Ky, went to Fort Richardson, Alaska, for advanced training and stayed there as a personnel specialist, helping process soldiers to and from Vietnam, until he was discharged in 1968. In 1978, Jim Wallace fulfilled a lifelong dream and family legacy by joining the Ann Arbor Fire Department. His father was a charter member of the Dexter Fire Department, and his grandfather also was a volunteer firefighter. Jim Wallace retired as Ann Arbor’s chief of fire department operations after a 23-year career. Today, the Wallaces lead the Pinckney post’s efforts to support the VA Healthcare System in Ann Arbor and try to do anything to help current and former soldiers. Teamwork, the Wallaces said, is the key. “The post and auxiliary really work well together and have a common goal of serving people and making the post successful,” Jim Wallace said. “We’re a family.” Celebrating Our JOfh Year Anniversary |tWCbak^health|i»variety of "^delicious^ffoletgfains breads <^e»us,e^Walangred^ Bread Coi ^ (810) 225-1400 1 8 3 27 5 5-01 Monday-Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. • Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. closed to minors under the age of 17 are 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight to 6 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

He says the DDA paid for the original cameras and cabling installed several years ago, adding that while the system has limitations, it has been helpful in keeping the amount of vandalism down.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, speaking to Livingston County Republicans a week ago, accused Democrats of surrendering in the Iraq war. Romney said the United States must defeat the Islamic jihad movement, and that President Bush will do whatever it takes to protect the American people, “When we’re dealing with nations of the world, we stand united,” Romney said April 27 at the Livingston County Lincoln Day Dinner at the Barnstormer Banquet Center in Whitmore Lake. Romney, who has emerged as a formidable rival in the nomination race to Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, also spoke at GOP events in Flint, Saginaw and the Lansing area during a two-day swing through Michigan. In prepared remarks released before the speech, Romney said “the Democrats need to stop pleading for surrender.” “At last night’s Democratic debate, and in yesterday’s vote in the United States Senate, Democrats waved a white flag to our enemies and our troops,” he said. One day before his speech, Congress passed war appropriations legislation that directs Bush to begin bringing home U.S. troops from Iraq; Bush says he will veto the bill. During his 26-minute speech, Romney told about 300 people at the $75 per-plate event that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was wrong to say the war in Iraq was “lost.” The United States won the war to take out Saddam Hussein, Romney said. “Fortunately we have a president who called on the bravery of the American military,” Romney said. The former Massachusetts governor was visiting Michigan for the first time since February, when he formally embarked on his race for the White House. Romney was born and raised in Michigan, and his father, George, served as governor in the 1960s and made an unsuccessful bid for president nearly 40 years ago. During his talk Romney alluded to the fact that his father and mother, Lenore, are buried at Fairview Cemetery in Brighton, even though the family had no prior history in the county. ‘They liked the area, liked the central location; they chose a wonderful site,” Romney said of his parents’ choice. Livingston County GOP Chairman Allan Filip said that Romney’s appearance did not imply the local party was endorsing him for the presidential nomination, but merely reflected Romney’s availability for the event.

Future of 'pink hotel' discussed ' I d e a s fo r u s e o f h is t o r ic b u i ld in g b r o u g h t t o t h e t a b l e BY TOM TOLEN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r The 25 people who attended a meeting 'Tuesday night in Brighton on the future of the so-called “pink hotel” came away with the feeling that, while saving the venerable old building from the wrecking ball would be an uphill battle, it could be done. Mayor Steve Monet said he organized the meeting to get ideas on how to save the structure from demolition. He ended the meeting hopeful about saving the landmark, saying “I can’t say we’ve explored every option out there.” The structure was built in 1873 as a hotel to serve train passengers. It is now used for small offices and apartments. Stan Schafer, who has an option to buy the building, is proposing to raze it and put up a new, four-story structure for retail-office on the first two floors and residential (condominiums) on the top two. A revised downtown business district ordinance allows buildings of up to 50 feet in height as long as the top floors have a substantial residential component. The other potential buyer of the property, owned by attorney John Harris, also was at the meeting. Brian Jones said he would preserve the structure but would have to buy it on a land contract. Among ideas generated when Monet asked what people would do if $1 million were available to save the building were: ■ Creating a space for artists on the first floor and maintaining the apartments. ■ Converting it to a bed and breakfast. ■ Converting the first floor to a restaurant. Some suggested the building could be saved in the same way as the Savannah Center in Genoa Township. In that commercial development a historic brick building was restored and a new section added to it. However, Schafer said it would be virtually impossible to renovate the Brighton building and bring it up to code. He has said there isn’t enough room between each floor to install the ductwork for a modern air handling, electrical and plumbing. Monet has suggested moving the building to another site. But most of those in attendance told Monet they don’t want it moved. “There is economic benefit to the community if something (other than razing or moving it) is done with that hotel,” said Brighton Historical Society Director Marieanna Bair. Susan Walters-Steinacker proposed the city apply for grants to preserve the building, or give tax abatements to a developer willing to restore and preserve it. Randall Pearsall, who lives in an 1870s home in Brighton, suggested that the city buy the building and convert it into a city hall. Monet said that would | be prohibitively expensive. ' After the two-hour meeting, Monet said he would digest the information and proceed. “We’re going to talk with the developer and city staff and see what we can do . with it,” he said. “I don’t think 1 it’s ended.” Tom Tolen can be reached at 810-844-2009 or ttoien® livingstoncommunitynews.com. M-36 corridor to see retail expansion, chamber is told R ite Aici t o o p e n P in c k n e y s t o r e o n J u n e 21 BY LEANNE SM ITH N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r This summer, the M-36 corridor will see the opening of one major national retail drugstore and the potential start of construction of another. Speaking at the Pinckney- Lakeland-Hamburg-Hell Chamber of Commerce’s ninth annual Growth Forum on April 26, Fred P Hinz, regional vice president for Rite Aid, announced that its new 11,000-square-foot store in Pinckney, at the corner of West M-36 and Dexter-Pinckney Road, is slated to open June 21. At roughly the same time, demolition of the former Alpine Grocery, on East M-36 and Hamburg Road, should be complete to make room for The Village at Hamburg, a shopping center anchored by a CVS drugstore and new Hamburg post office, said Kelly Denha, vice president of LED Development, owners of the property. “It’s a very exciting project,” Denha said. “This won’t be a run-of-the-mill shopping center. We want each building to be unique and be a destination place. It will have a real village feel.” These two major projects highlighted a night of discussion about the business climate along the M-36 corridor, which Rick Beaudin, chamber president, said is doing well. “Regardless of what’s going on in the economy elsewhere in the state, all you have to do is look around here to see that there is lots going on,” Beaudin said. “This is a great place to be.” Other projects discussed included: ■ J&D Lakeland Coney Island, a new restaurant in Hamburg’s Village Shopping Center at M-36 and Chilson Road, owned and operated by Livingston County Commissioner Dennis Dolan and family. ■ Little Shop of Massage, a massage therapy facility opened by Chet Estridge in the old village of Hamburg near the Hamburg Pub. ■ Site plans that have been submitted to Pinckney’s Planning Commission for a new Taco Bell restaurant being proposed for the spot occupied by Furniture by Thomas on East M-36, across from Pinckney Chrysler Dodge, Hamburg Township Supervisor Cindy Pine also discussed a project that will make municipal water available to the township’s M-36 commercial district and a June 23 ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of improvements on Hamburg’s six miles of the Lakelands 'Trail linear state park. Hamburg Township also is ^ being seriously considered as a stop on a commuter rail being planned between Livingston and Washtenaw counties. Pine said. A depot likely would be located somewhere in the old village near the Hamburg Pub, % she said. The Growth Forum is the largest annual event hosted by the Pinckney-Lakeland- Hamburg-Hell Chamber of Commerce, which is a division of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce.

BY TRACY D A V IS N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Livingston County drivers will be able to find out how problematic their tailpipe emissions are in coming weeks through a regional planning agency initiative. A portable emissions monitor be set up on highway ramps to alert passing motorists that their cars’ ejdiaust is good, fair or poor. A poor reading could incficate problems with vehicle equipment, such as spark plugs or catalytic converters. Monitoring is scheduled for the US-23 and 1-96 interchange in Livingston Coimty May 8-9. Additional monitoring will be done in the area May 10-11 at US-23 and M-14 near Ann Arbor. L ivingston County Health Department Director Ted Westmeier says controlling air pollution has always, been a regional or state effort, but he welcomes anything that might improve air quality. Only about 1 percent of cars get a poor reading, said Sue Stetler of the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments. But their owners will get a letter suggesting they get their vehicles checked; the monitoring stations is equipped with a camera so owners can be found via license plate numbers. SEMCOG estimates the few vehicles that have serious exhaust problems may contribute up to half of the total pollution coming fi^m all motor vehicles. In many parts of the country, all vehicles must undergo emissions testing, and failed vehicles must be repaired. Instead, SEMCOG is promoting voluntary action by owners of vehicles with higher-than-expected pollution levels. “If someone’s vehicle is a high emitter, we want to let them know that,” said Chuck Hersey, SEMCOG’s environmental manager. “It’s a serious fuel economy loss and if their car is put back in shape, they will burn less fuel and spend less on gasoline. That’s what we’re trying to do in a nutshell.

The beam is projected across a singie-iane roadway (such as a freeway ramp) to avoid interference from muitipie exhaust piumes. ■ A transfer mirror module reflects the iight back to detectors that monitor iight intensity. By measuring the absorption of iight by the various pollutants in the air, the system can calculate the pollutant concentrations in vehicle exhaust. ■ A v id e o camera takes an image of the license plate. ■ Sensors record the speed and acceleration of each vehicle. Emissions and related data are stored in a computer monitored by an operator in a van parked beside the road. Source: Environmental Systems Products browbeat people into getting repairs.” The initiative follows several years of poor air quality that resulted in an Environmental Protection Agency designation pf noncompliance for newer rules on ground-level ozone in southeast Michigan. Mandatory emissions testing seemed inevitable for the 10 affected Michigan counties, including Livingston and Washtenaw, before an agreement between the EPA and local government to initiate such tests.

Among the customer conveniences the store will offer are private dressing rooms, a layaway program, gift certificates and a liberal return policy, said T.J. Maxx spokeswoman Amy Cafazzo. The store will receive more than 10,000 new items each week, ensuring a continual flow of fresh merchandise, she said. It also will have a larger accessories department than is typical in a T.J.

Although owning a dollar ^ store is a new venture for him, Mitchell said retailing is in his blood. “I’ve had family members who owned a bait and tackle-gas station. I worked there and enjoyed it as a kid.” His brother, Mitchell added, had a cycle shop. “I got my buyout from Ford and just decided to do this.

Brighton Auto Wash back in business Brighton Auto Wash, closed since last September when a fire destroyed much of the building, reopened April 21, said Manager Bryan Ray. “We’re very happy to be open again, and so are our customers,” Ray said. “We always felt we had a pretty loyal customer base. Since the fire, which was caused by faulty neon light tubing, we’ve had people come by every day, concerned about us.” A family-owned business, the auto wash has served customers on the same site since 1969. Services include a refurbished automatic exterior car wash and full-service gasoline. For a limited time, as a reopening special, a basic car wash will cost $4, Ray said. Ray said nearly three-quarters of the building is new. “Fortunately, our equipment was not damaged, but it has been renovated,”'he said.

LETTERS ^ Thanks, volunteers for benefit event Howell Public Schools Alumni Association’s board of directors extends sincere appreciation to the fine folks who participated in the 2007 Dollars for Scholars dinner dance and fundraising event March 25 at Chemung Hills Golf Course and Banquet Center. Rosemarie Poma-Clark, Becl^ Dean-O’Neal, Joyce Cash-Fisher and Marilyn Watson- Roxberry stand out for their especially tireless work. But many generous businesses and individuals donated time and money to make Dolk lars for Scholars a smashing ^ success-to the tune of a record- setting $3,000 presented to Howell Public Schools for our annual Alumni Association Scholarships. Jeff Salisbury, president, Howell . Public Schools Alumni * Association Michigan should resume executions Michigan is one of 12 states that does not have capital punishment. That means 38 states are smarter. Michigan prisons hold 3,000 first-degree murderers at a cost of $30,000 each per year. That translates to $90 million a year. Why should the lawabiding taxpayers have to provide food, clothing and health care to these evil people for their heinous crimes? Color or race has nothing to do with the fact that they are killers. If an insane person kills, why is he or she protected in a mental hospital? They are dangerous and no better than other murderers. Temporary insanity is a ruse for defense attorneys and should not be allowed in court trials. Michigan must have stateof- the-art forensic labs so there are no errors. When the killer is obviously guilty, why should he be given a defense attorney and costly trials? That part of the law needs to be changed. A vote of the legislature for capital punishment for firstdegree murder right now would help solve the money crisis - and it,is the right thing to do.

The 28,000-square-foot store is located in the former Kroger store building in Genoa Township’s Grand 'We're very excited to be in the community/ Ilene Jarvenpaa, store manager River Plaza on East Grand River Avenue. “We generally locate our stores in strip malls like this one because the rent is lower and we can pass along the savings to our customers,” Cafazzo said. The store’s lower prices on name brands and designer merchandise are the result of volume purchasing and other purchasing strategies, Cafazzo said. “We have very little of last year’s merchandise,” she said. “We buy most of our merchandise at the very last minute, so we can pick up small quantities of the same articles that sell for top-dollar at department stores. Also, we can work with a designer or vendor who may have fabric left over from a shirt they made up for a department store and make us just a few thousand to sell in our stores.” T.J. Maxx is Massachusetts based with more than 800 stores in 48 states. With the addition of the new Genoa Township store, the company will operate 20 stores in the Detroit market.

Instead of hosting yet another gallery hop, they organized a studio hop. Art patrons got a chance to see the artists up close on their home turf. The artists opened their studios and invited the public to stop by for a visit. According to organizers, some 24-45 people visited each of the 18 studios that were opened to the public Sunday afternoon. Officials said each visitor made the rounds to about eight different studios. It was a first-time effort for the sponsoring organizations, the Brighton Art Guild and Run Away With The Arts in Pinckney, but we hope it won’t be the last. This was a fun, fresh idea to connect local artists with their adoring, or at least curious, public. Some other items of note: Cheers: To Forest Malott, who is leading an effort to recruit buglers for an Armed Forces Day playing of taps at Michigan’s two national cemeteries. The Pinckney area man reports that he has about 14 horn players signed up. He’s focusing his efforts on “Taps” players for the Great Lakes National Cemetery near Holly. To lend your musical talents to this tribute to fallen soldiers, sign up at the Web site www. echotaps.org. Cheers: To developer Mark Murphy for giving serious consideration to building a new full-service athletic club in Brighton. With the closing of the Brighton Athletic Club, the Brighton area’s reputation for top-notch quality of life is on the line. Can this really be that great a place to live if there’s no indoor tennis? Jeers: To the teen thugs who knocked over the Brighton Biennial sculpture “Decision Pending” from its prominent location along West Main Street in front of the Brighton Mill Pond. It’s tempting to ask, “Where were the parents?” who let their kids run rampant at 1 a.m. in downtown Brighton, but the only ones responsible for these action, are the individuals responsible. What makes anyone think that toppling a $45,000 bronze statue is “cool?” If that wasn’t bad enough, they tossed trash into the pond and broke a light along the walkway. Let’s hope that these kids - if they are kids, as police speculate - are caught and punished. Perhaps they should be the ones scrubbing duck poop from the Mill Pond walkway every Friday afternoon for the rest of the summer. Cheers: To the local Military Moms group for banding together to support each other while their sons and daughters are serving our country. While I’m sure each of these mothers is getting support from families and friends, no one can know how a military mom feels like another military mom. Cheers: To the Hartwell family for supporting 17- year-old Matt Hartwell as he organizes a 5-kilometer road race in honor of his younger brother, Eric, who died from a rare form of leukemia at age 9 in 2004. The Spring Snowman 5K run-Walk is schedule for May 19. Proceeds will go to the Eric Hartwell Foundation, established to support youngsters who are being treated at Mott Children’s Hospital at the University of Michigan Medical Center.

Jeff Lewis of Iosco Township works in his home workshop decorating the body of a harp with wooden leaves. Below, Lewis drafts plans fora harp.This artisan, known as a luthier, handcrafts musical instruments sold to musicians all over the world. PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS M a ste r o f strin g s Iosco Twp. luthier creates the instrument of angels BY C A SE Y H A N S N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r T he harp - that majestic, musical beauty - is both simple and complicated, says Jeff Lewis, an artisan who designs and builds what is one of the oldest instruments in the world. “It’s literally classified as one of the easiest instruments to learn how to play,” according to Lewis, 42, an Iosco Township luthier who has built harps for musicians around the world for 13 years. “Even if you don’t know how to play music, it’s set up like a piano. It’s much more basic.” The complicated part, he said, comes with creating this instrument of angels. Its sound is affected by design, size and even the type of wood used, he says. Harp designs flow from his imagination. Some are decorated with an outdoor theme that have fallen leaves, for example. “I imagine that the harp is sitting in the woods and the leaves are tricWing down and falling on it,” he says. “It’s the romantic in me, or the Druid, I guess.” He has built his business by crafting these stringed instruments of oak, bird’s-eye maple, cherry, walnut or exotic woods such as the African paduk wood - one of his favorites that he said gives the harp a “bright, rich sound.” Lewis operates Lewis Creek Instruments from a wortehop on his Iosco Township property, where he has lived for seven years with his wife, Jessie, and their two Great Pyranees dogs. He has built harps for 13 years - full time for 10 years - and sells to such musicians as Cynthy Johnson, an author, teacher and harpist who does harp therapy at hospitals and long-term care facilities. Lewis plays one of his unique harps made from bird's-eye maple. He has been crafting harps for 13 years, having become interested after going to the Michigan Renaissance Festival. , ! w ^ F 1 i Johnson owns several harps from Lewis Creek and said Lewis’ choice of woods and his designs allow the harps to “develop their voice” quickly. “Jeff’s harps have their voice right away,” she said. “They play beautifully. The craftsmanship is just incredible.” A native of Dexter, Lewis became interested in harps after attending the Michigan Renaissance Festival in Holly and eventually was invited to apprentice for two years with a harp builder in California before going out on his own. Once a professional photographer, Lewis also has studied computer systems, electrical engineering and eventually settled on getting a degree in psychology from Oakland University. His apprenticeship helped him find his niche. A typical Lewis harp is made from two to three different woods, which gives each instrument a unique tone, he says. The time it takes to build a harp varies from weeks to months, depending on its size and how intricate its decoration is. Unlike some artisans, Lewis signs each harp on the inside so it does not interfere with the design. “You want to decorate your harp the way (a musician) wants it - not looking at my signature every day,” he says. After one of his harps is purchased, it takes on a life with its new owner. “Most (harps) have two names,” he explains. It has the style name the luthier gives it, then “you play it and give it your personal name,” he adds. Casey Hans can be reached at chans@Hvingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2005.

Fowlerville arts friends get a peek behind new theater's curtain BY LINDA THEIL N e w s S p e c ia l W r ite r The burgundy and cherry seats for the new performing arts center haven’t been installed yet, but Fowlerville culture lovers already are working on ways to fill them with concert-goers. A dozen community members toured the 85 percent completed theater with Fowlerville Community Schools Superintendent Ed Alverson last week during the first meeting of the Friends of the Performing Arts Center. The theater is an intimate space that will seat 650 people on the main floor and 170 in the small gallery on the second-floor balcony. The seating wraps around the theater in a horseshoeshaped configuration. Project designer Jeff Boes of TMP Associates in Bloomfield Hills said the seating style is a trend in theater design. “It revives the old opera houses from Italy,” Boes said. “The feeling is much different. It gets people a lot closer to the performance S E E ARTS, 82 JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS The $5.6 million Fowlerville Performing Arts Center will seat more than 800 when it is completed and put into use in the fall. B2 T H E L I V I N G S T O N C O M M U N I T Y N E W S FRIDAY, MAY 4, 2007 -'M ARTS FROM B2 Bond paid for building and gives an embracing feel.” > The walls are made of split-faced concrete block colored earthy gold and dark maroon. The rear wall in the theater undulates like an old-fashioned garden wall. “The concave surfaces deflect sound to disperse and prevent direct sound wave reflections and echoes,” Boes said. “There are also absorptive panels at the rear wall and rear ceiling space to deaden the sound reflections.” Fowlerville freshman Sarah Paternoster, 15, is a dancer and choreographer who performs with Concert Ministries International. She was impressed by what she saw of the new performing space during the tour. “The new theater will have more space backstage and dressing rooms,” she said. “During dance recitals the dancers line-up in the wings. Dancers need space.” The backstage amenities include a computer-controlled lighting console and a Vortek brand self-contained, motorized hoist system that moves theatrical rigging without the use of cumbersome and potentially dangerous counterweights. The system is computerized so that scenery movement can be programmed. Ted Paget of Jones & Phillips Associates Inc. of Lafayette, Ind., served as theatrical consultant for the project. “One of (the Vortek system’s) most appealing virtues is that it allows a physically disabled person to participate in the physical loading and unloading of scenery battens, and to raise and lower the rigging,” Paget said. The Vortek system also is used to install an on-stage acoustical shell for band concerts, according to Terri Palazzolo, director of bands. Palazzolo is pleased to have a motorized lift system that will allow program producers to easily and safely open and close the orchestra pit. Palazzolo plans to bring the entire 125-member marching band onto the stage for a concert appearance for the first time as well as continuing traditional appearances by the concert band, wind ensemble, jazz ensemble and the junior high school bands. Palazzolo also has put in a bid to host the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association District 8 concert band festival in March. “I’ve waited a long time for this,” Palazzolo said. “I would like to thank the community of Fowlerville for enabling us to have such a nice facility. In return I hope we can give them some great performances.” Alverson said he hopes the Friends group will pro- Friends of the Performing Arts in Fowlerville ■ What: The Friends of the Performing Arts Center is a volunteer community group that will promote the new Fowlerville Performing Arts Center opening this fall.

Members will be Informed of the next meeting later this month and subsequent meetings that will be scheduled during the summer. vide a vision for what the community wants from the new performing arts center. At their first meeting, the group suggested scheduling choral,, dance, band, community theater, children’s theater, and family events as well as school district programs. Sarah Paternoster’s mother and Friends member Nancy Paternoster said it would be nice to have a local venue for her daughter’s dance recitals. Alverson wants to keep the costs of operating the center low. “The taxpayers supported us in 2004 and I look at this as if they’ve already paid (to use the facility),” he said. The performing arts center building was funded by a bond issue for a districtwide building program that was approved by voters in 2004. Money raised by the bond issue may be used only for building purposes. Of the $49 million bond issue, approximately $5.6 million was used to build the arts center. The main floor of the center including the stage, orchestra pit, seating area, exit stairs and elevator, a projection room, sound room, ticket area, storage rooms and vestibule covers 15,532 square feet. The lobby, toilets and concession areas add another 4,482 square feet. Total fixed seat count is 820 with 40 moveable chairs at the sides of the balcony, and handicapaccessible seating areas on the main floor. Alverson said community members can volunteer as Friends of the Performing Arts Center by contacting his office at 517-223-6015. “One of the first things we have to do is make it known we have the facility beginning at the start of the new school year,” Alverson said.

Their winning creation is a high-tech hopscotch game that beeps, lights up and records actions on an electronic scoreboard. The Road Runners team is made up of middle school students Meghan Cleary, Anna Kelly, Kelly Redmond and Natalie Sanders, who are all from the Brighton area. Their coach is Kelly’s mother Patricia Redmond. “They’ve been working on it since November and worked every night as it got closer to the competition,” says Patricia Redmond. “They programmed a microcomputer, but the toughest thing for them was learning to sew. They made a big flufiy bird and had to create the pattern and cut it. It took incredible work on their part.” They won the award April 22. Team members Kelly Redmond and Natalie Sanders were on Redmond’s team last year, which was a contender in the TOYchallenge Nation- COURTESY. COLLEEN HACKNEY The Road Runners team from Brighton won the grand prize at the 2007 National TOYchallenge in San Diego, Calif, last month. The team is coached by Pat Redmond. Members of the team are, from left, Natalie Sanders, Anna Kelly, Meghan Cleary and Kelly Redmond. als with their Punch ‘em Out! game. Natalie is now a seventhgrader at St. Patrick School in Brighton. “My biggest challenge was wiring the box to control the whole game,” says Natalie. “For Kelly, it was when there was smoke coming out of the box. We were pressed for time. There were 14 volts going up the wire instead of 5 so we had to order another chip.” Natalie, who says her dad gave them some guidance with the wiring, says there are pads for each player that randomly light up, and when they do, each player has to jump on them. They have to “Bop the Bird!” on the wing when the buzzer sounds to earn bonus points. “We had a really great time at the TOYchallenge, and it felt really good to win,” says Anna Kelly. “I think we would all probably do it again.” “One of the judges told our teammate Meghan that what really sold our toy was the brochure we made,” says Natalie, who says that creating a brochure was yet another skill they learned. The TOYchallenge was created and run by Sally Ride Science, an organization founded by astronaut Sally Ride to support the large numbers of girls who are, or might become, interested in science, math and technology. The Road Runners team was one of 150 finalists that were judged on originality, creativity, feasibility design process description, team participation and clarity of communication. Each member of the Road Runners team received a medal, a trophy and an invitation to Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala. Patricia Redmond says the group is waiting to hear about a possible appearance on the EUen Degeneres show. Lisa Carotin can be reached at lcarolin@ livingstoncommunitynew5.com or at 810-844-2010.

Vicki Lawrence will bring her alter-ego, Mama, to her "twowoman" show of music and comedy May 13 at the Brighton Center forthe Performing Arts. Mama to share her views on life A c t r e s s V ick i L a w r e n c e w ill b e h e r e , t o o , in T w o -W o m a n ' S h o w ' BY L ISA CA RO L IN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r It all stalled with a letter and a newspaper article for high school student Vicki Lawrence. During her senior year, she sent the letter and article to comedienne Carol Burnett and mentioned their resemblance to one another. Lawrence invited Burnett to see her in the local fire department’s Miss Fireball Contest, and Burnett, who was looking for an actress to play her kid sister on her new variety series, made arrangements to come to the event. The rest, as they say, is television history.. Lawrence went on to spend 11 years, earning an Emmy Award and five nominations, as Burnett’s co-star on “The Carol Burnett Show,” which premiered in 1967. Lawrence received a gold record in 1973 for the sales of her hit single “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.” After the Burnett show ended, Lawrence starred in her own television series, “Mama’s Family,” which ran for six years through 1990, playing Thelma Harper, better known as Mama. Lawrence will be in Brighton on Mother’s Day, May 13, as part of her music and comedy tour titled “Vicki Lawrence and Mama, a 'Two- Woman Show.” “The show is not a retrospective,” says Lawrence, “it’s a mixture of stand-up comedy, music and observations about real life. I think people will get a kick out of the things Mama has an opinion about. Where Mama is concerned, expect the unexpected.” Lawrence has appeared on stage in many productions, including “No, No, Nanette,” “Hello, Dolly,” and “Annie Get Your Gun.” She also hosted the television game show “Win, Lose or Draw,” and hosted her own daytime talk show called “Vicki” from 1992-1994. Her philosophy is, “Life is much too serious to be taken seriously!” That’s reflected in her autobiography, titled “VICKI! The 'IVue Life Adventures of Miss Fireball.” Lawrence has been married to A1 Schultz since 1974. They have two children, Courtney, 26, and Garrett, 24.

The state recreation area’s second annual Spring Fling is set for noon to 5 p.m. at the Bishop Lake day-use complex, 6360 Chilson Road, Hamburg Township. More than 25 groups are sending experts to help people try geocaching, mushroom hunting, horseback riding, kayaking, hiking, archery, bildng and more. “This is a great chance for people to come out and try something they think they might be interested in,” said Joe Hall, park supervisor. “We’ve got more than 5,000 acres here for people to experience.” Along with activities, the Spring Fling will feature live animals and many educational sessions on such topics as the Huron River watershed and raising pheasants. Food vendors also will be on hand. “We’ve got something for everyone, and it’s all handson, family-type stuff,” Hall said. “You won’t just be taught about things, you’ll actually get to do them.” Spring Fling is free, but attendees must have a valid state parks motor vehicle permit. Permits will be available for purchase at the gate. The cost for state residents is $6 per day or $24 for the year. Nonresidents pay $8 per day or $29 per year. “That’s really a very small cost for all the things you will be able to try,” Hall said. Last year’s Spring Fling drew about 500 people. With more activities to try and food on-site, Hall said, he expects an even bigger turnout, weather permitting. “We’ve been cooped up inside all winter, and now we’ve got a nice long summer ahead of us,” he said. “Come on out and learn a bunch of things you can do outdoors to enjoy it.” To find out more about Spring Fling or to purchase a COURTESY, ROB GOLDA S p r in g F l in g o f fe r s an opportunity for participants to v iew w ild life in th e ir natural habitat. state park vehicle permit, call 810-229-6566.

Phoenix Players present comic farce 'D i l em m a s W ith D in n e r ' a t S o u t h L y o n T h e a t e r BY LISA CAROLIN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r “Dilemmas With Dinner” is a farce at heart, and it’s the latest play to be performed by the Phoenix Players. The play, written by Robin Roberts in 2005, is the stoiy of junior executive Brooke, who invites her boss and his wife over for dinner hoping to get a promotion. To her dismay she ieams that her hired help just happens to be the bitter exdaughter- in-law of her boss. The play will run May I lls and May 18-20 at the South Lyon Theater. The cast features: Brighton-area residents Michelle Lanzi, Anne Levy and Laura Sosnowski and Howellarea residents Katie McCarty, Jarett Reinmann and Luke Nolan. Tim Redlinger, fi-om Brighton, is the director. “This is my directing debut, and it’s really fun,” says Redlinger, one of the founding members of the Phoenix Players and a former member of the Livingston Players. “After acting for so many If you g o... ■ What: The play, "Dilemmas With Dinner." ■ When: May 11-13 and May 18-20, Fridays at 8:30 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m. ■ Where: The South Lyon Theater, 126 E.

There’s a lot more time commitment, and you have to see the big picture a lot more. You have to learn to communicate your own vision about what needs to be done, but let the actors develop their own characters.” Redlinger says “Dilemmas With Dinner” is a fast-moving play with a lot of cross conversations that create a joke in themselves. He says it’s a farce that is more outrageous than a typical comedy. “You know something disastrous is going to happen, and you’re just waiting for it to hit,” he adds. The Phoenix Players debuted in March 2006. The South Lyon Theater, transformed into a live theater venue for the Players, can seat about 200 people. "Dilemmas With Dinner" will be performed by the Phoenix Players May 11-13and May 18-20 at The South Lyon Theater.

The spirit and energy of the group made an impression on him. “I told myself I would do something like that when I got back to Michigan,” says Bostwick, who returned to Michigan in 1996 and now lives in Washtenaw County’s Northfield Township. This spring, Bostwick, 34, launched the Northwind Running Club. His nonprofit club meets at 7:30 a.m. every Sunday morning at the new Whitmore Lake High School to train along the scenic dirt roads surrounding Independence Lake County Park. Bostwick is excited about his club’s potential. His first event in March, a 10- and 20-mile run, attracted 50 people. “We are in a good spot between Ann Arbor and Brighton. They are both good running communities,” he says. The club’s first official race. Run Like a Mother!, will feature a 5-kilometer run-walk, lOK run and kid’s dash beginning at 9 a.m. May 13 (Mother’s Day) at Hudson Mills Metropark near Dexter. Proceeds from the event will help fund a memorial at the school’s track for long-time Whitmore Lake track and cross country coach Larry Steeb, who died in February.

Corcoran, the national director of trade development with Epana Networks, a technology company, chose the Michigan Golf Amateur Tour. “I just enjoy playing in I competitive golf situations,” * says Brooks, a member at Lakelands Golf & Country Club in Hamburg Township. “It is a lot different than playing with your buddies.

The mask looks like something Darth Vader might wear in the movies, but the technology is real. The computer Klinke’s attached to measures his aerobic capability and can spit out a metabolic profile that determines at what heart rate he will best burn fat. “When I go full out (exercising), I’m not as effective,” Klinke says. “You think you know (how to train), but you don’t.” JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELU.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Sports Lab owner Brad Hagen, left, of Howell, watches over client Chris Klinke, of Gregory, during a session at Hagen's new athletic facility in Brighton Township.

Holes have been redesigned and had their order switched. Greens have been rebuilt and leveled. A classy clubhouse-banquet facility was added in 2000. But one thing remains constant here. The 6,771-yard, par-71 course off of Dunham Road in Hartland Township still is a wooded treasure, revered by players as a stern test of their game. It is considered one of the best public courses in Livingston County, if not all of metro Detroit. “It’s in good shape. It is kept up well,” says Commerce Township golfer George Marks, who was practicing on the putting green before a recent league. “It’s very tough. There’s not a level spot out there, outside of the tee box.” The course, which opened its front nine in 1967 and back nine in 1969, is celebrating its 40th anniversary by charging golfers $19.67 to play 18 holes May 26. The club also is considering food specials and more special rates around the Fourth of July weekend, general manager Jim Nilan says. It’s the club’s way of giving back to golfers who have supported the course so loyally over the years. “We get a lot of repeat business,” says Dunham Hills golf professional Mike Spranger. “We are competitively priced. And it’s tough. People like a tough golf course.” , Every other year, Dunham Hills hosts a qualifier for the Public Links championship, a prestigious event run by the United States Golf S E E DUNHAM HILLS,C2 Dunham Hills Golf Club ■ Address: 13561 Dunham Road, Hartland. ■ Phone:248-887-9170. ■ Web site: www.dunharphills. com. ■ 40th anniversary celebration: All golf with cart will cost $19.67 on May 26.

Golfers accumulate points throughout the season, fighting for a chance to qualify for a national tournament down south. The new Golf Channel Tour (www.thegolfchannel. com/amateurtour) holds 15 events throughout metro Detroit April 21-Sept. 29, including stops at Hunters Ridge in Cohoctah Township (May 12), Dunham Hills in Hartland Township (July 7), Timber Trace in Putnam Township (July 15), Whispering Pines in Hamburg Township (Aug. 12) and Coyote Preserve in 'Ifyrone Township (Sept. 8). “1 thoroughly enjoy playing (Lakelands), but it’s fun to be able to play other courses,” Brooks says. “You get to meet other people. That’s the neat thing about golf. You compete, but then you make friends throughout the golf world.” In its fourth year, the Michigan Amateur Golf Tour (www.miagt.com) features a 14-tournament schedule that runs April 14-Oct. 7. Courses host events every other Saturday, including events at Hunters Ridge (June 2), Cattails in Lyon Township (July 28), The Majestic at Lake Walden in Hartland Township (Aug. 11) and Coyote Preserve (Sept. 22). Cocoran, 42, has played the tour four times while living in other states. He hopes to play well enough to advance to the national tournament in Myrtle Beach, S.C., a feat he accomplished in his first year. Cocoran says he joined the tour to force himself to play more golf. “This gives you a good feel for your game,” he says. “It is set up like a PGA Tour event. It helps you gauge your game for tournament play.” Joining can be expensive. It costs $199 to join the Golf Channel tour and $90 for the Michigan Amateur Golf Tour. Each individual tournament on both lours costs at least $65 to play in, too. But there are rewards. Prizes are awarded at each event. And the reality is, if you want to feel like a pro but can’t play like one, these tours are the next best thing to teeing it up on the PGA Tour.

RUNNING FROM Cl Northwind Club founder plans a series of races cross country coach Andy Ames are working together to launch Thursday night trail runs and workouts at the Whitmore Lake track once school gets out in June. Bostwick also is organizing a summer cross country series of five races, two at Independence Lake and three at Huron Meadow Metropark in Green Oak Township. Sept. 23 there will be a fall marathon training run of 10-20 miles. Recently, Northwind member Jen Kirk of Ypsilanti completed the Boston Marathon in a personal-record time. “There are a lot of clubs out here, but nobody is pushing to do stuff (like races),” Bostwick says. “When we get enough numbers, we’d like to challenge other clubs, in a friendly way.” Bob Smith, a member of the Brighton Area Road Striders, says he doesn’t view other running clubs as competition. “The more clubs around the better,” he says. “Generally, we are meeting at different times on different days. A lot of people belong to multiple clubs. I think it’s a great thing. He looks like he a fireball. He knows how to get things done.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

There’s plenty of free space, with only a treadmill, exercise bike and cable-resistance machine set up inside. Hagen says machines don’t simulate real life movements like free-motion training with medicine balls and other exercise “toys.” He uses a 90-minute analysis (costing $60) to gauge a client’s fitness, posture and body structure. From there, he turns to technology. A Monark Peak Bike performs the Wingate test, what Hagen calls “the gold standard” of anaerobic tests. “It’s great for determining your anaerobic power output. especially your lower body,” Hagen says. “It’s great for football and hockey.” He can also videotape a workout and dissect every movement. Hagen then creates sport-specific exercises to maximize performance. Klinke, 37, an adventure racer-mountain climber from Gregory, turned to Hagen after breaking his ankle while climbing Mount Everest. “I do a lot of different sports. He adapts things for me,” Klinke says. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. DUNHAM HILLS FROM Cl Towering, mature trees grace quiet, serene course Association. Nilan and Spranger credit course superintendent Tom Stark with keeping Dunham Hills in outstanding shape. Stark has worked at the course since 1985. “You’d be hard-pressed to find these course conditions anywhere else (on a public course),” Spranger says. “I’ll put our greens up against any country club.” Rolling hills that offer few flat lies and tree-lined fairways are the layout’s toughest hazards. Four ponds come into play on five holes. A murderer’s row of holes highlights the back nine. The back-to-back par-5s at No. 12 and No. 13 - they used to be the course’s two closing holes - lead to the day’s biggest challenge: making par at No. 14. Water along the left side pinches into the fairway at the 447- yard par-4 14th to gobble up errant tee shots. “It is not built like a (modem real estate) course surrounded by houses,” Nilan says, noting the towering, mature trees. “It is very quiet and serene. There’s a lot of wildlife: deer, fox and raccoons.” Other amenities complement the course. Upon ar- 'You'd be hardpressed to find these course conditions anywhere else (on a public course).

The 14,000-square-foot clubhouse accommodates weddings up to 3'00 people. Players can relax after a round in a full-service grill room with three TVs. “We have a lot of fun out here,” Marks says.

The Livingston Arts Council is preparing to unveil a three-month, $420,000 renovation of the first floor of the historic building next weekend. Bringing back the grandeur Reopening of building May 19 to coincide with History Days BY LA U R IE H UM PH REY News Staff Reporter TO find someone to share secondhand stories of The Opera House in its heyday is hard; to find someone who lived it is next to impossible, says a local preservationist. “I did the math the other day. It (the stage area) closed in 1924 and was frozen in time for 80 to 90 years,” said John Itsell, a Howell native and active member of the Volunteer Friends of The Opera House. Estimating that the majority of theater patrons were at least 22 years old at the time it closed, “they’d have to be at least 105 years old today. We lost a whole generation (of people who could have benefited fix)m an open and active Opera House,)” he said. Itsell, 47, is part of a 300-plus member movement led by the Livingston Arts Council that is ready to unveil a thr^-month, $420,000 renovation of the first floor of the building that houses The Opera House. Reopening of the building at 123 W Grand River Ave. coincides with Howell History Days, May 19-20. In its younger years, the local stage hosted vaudeville performances that b ro u ^ t people into the city by horse-drawn buggy, stagecoach and rail. “The ticket manager would look out the third-floor window north, toward Talking over plans for The Opera House renovations are, from ieft, Brent Earl, president of the Livingston Arts Council, Chad Clark, project manager from Clark Construction and electrical supervisor Richard Mikula of Crampton Electric.

She narrowly defeated the pair, getting 1,788 votes, while Ed Literski was the overall favorite, getting 2,162 votes. He will replace trustee Ted Parsons, who did not seek re-election after 12 years. Harvey got 1,667 votes, while Moore got 1,657. Dan Fondriest got 1,116 and write-in candidate Phil Nichols, a Howell High School senior, got 191 if all the write-in votes went to him. In the Howell district, 12 percent of voters went to the polls. Pratt, 46, who was not endorsed by the Howell Education Association presumably because she is part of the school board yet to agree on a contract with the teacher’s union, questioned her future on the board up until the last precinct reported. “I wasn’t breathing a sigh of relief until they were all in,” said the HoweU resident following early Wednesday morning results. “I think you wouldn’t be human if you weren’t nervous.” S E E HOWELL, A3 IN S ID E I P in ck n e y focuses on finances, A2 I How ell e-mails q u estion ed, A2 I Ha rtlan d voters O K tax issues, A3 I P in ck n e y in cum b en ts win, A3 I E le ctio n results by district, A3 I 2 earn seats in Brighton, A4 Tentative teacher contract reached 3-year Howell pact came following 9-hour mediation From News staff reports Howell Public Schools teachers and the school district administration reached a tentative agreement Tuesday on a three-year contract that would extend through the end of the 2008-09 school year. The agreement came after a nine-hour mediation session on Election Day that stretched into early Wednesday morning and was led by state-appointed mediator Margaret Paquet. Teachers have been working without a contract for the past 10 months. Specifics of the agreement were not available by press time, although district officials did day talks centered on pay increases over the life of the contract, maintaining the current health care coverage and sharing of future health care cost increases. The agreement with the 475-member Howell Education Association still must be ratified by the teachers and the school board.

Some of her happiest memories are of when she, husband Ken and the couple’s three sons loaded up backpacks, a picnic lunch and their dirt bikes and headed out for daylong trail rides. “Young people need recreation,” said Hardesty, Hamburg Township’s clerk since 1996. “They need to be outside enjoying activities with other kids and learning about being a team player and the other things sports teach you.” That’s why Hardesty rallied volunteers a year ago to form the Hamburg Enhanced Recreation Organization, a group dedicated to expanding recreational opportunities at Hamburg Township’s Manly W Bennett Memorid Park.

Cl A 2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 1 1, 2007 G>nsultant E-rnaii used to promote union support M E A f i l e s s u i t i n H o w e l l t o b l o c k r e l e a s e o f i n f o r n n a t i o n BYTOMTOLEN News Staff Reporter An Oakland County political consultant alleges that Howell Public Schools teachers have illegally used the school district’s e-mail system to drum up support for teachers, who have been locked in a contract dispute with the district for the past 10 months. School ofBcials announced early Wednesday that the two parties had reached a tentative agreement. School district officials say the Howell Education Association contract allows the teachers’ union the right to use the district’s e-mail to communicate with its members. The Michigan Education Association has filed suit to block any further release of Howell union officials’ e-mails. That situation was scheduled to come to a head during a hearing in Livingston County circuit court Thursday afternoon. The action stems from a March 30 Freedom of Information Act request by political consultant Chetly Zarko. He asked for “all e-mail to or fir)m the e-mail accounts or computers” of HEA officials Doug Norton, Johnson McDowell and Jeff Hughey. Zarko contends the e-mails demonstrate the union leaders were “illegally using public resources” such as school computers, equipment and materials, and parent e-mail lists, to lobby district residents to support teachers who have been working for nearly one year without a contract. A key issue in negotiations has been a proposed change in health insurance. The school board voted in February to declare itself the district’s insurance policyholder, rather than Michigan Education Special Services Association, the health care insurance arm of the MEA. Both HEA officials and Superintendent Chuck Breiner dispute Zarko’s claims, saying the teachers are allowed by contract to use the districtowned computers and e-mail system. “This is a friendly lawsuit,” noted HEA President Doug Norton. Zarko also contends that one union official used e-mails to ask another union leader to “make copies of a flier quickly enough to be used that night at a parent-teacher conference,” and use of homeroom teachers was discussed “to send personalized political postcards to parent addresses.” Norton responded that the emails involved only suggestions and ideas, and no such actions were ever taken. “This was a second-hand suggestion and it was rejected,” he said. “We have had contract language in effect for some time that says the association may use facilities or services owned by the Howell School district,” Breiner said Tuesday. N orton also said a contention by Zarko that the HEA used school copiers and materials “is a flat-out factual error.” Zarko said Tuesday that just because teachers have permission to use the e-mail system doesn’t make it right. “If the contract says they can do this, the contract is bad,” he said. “The school district can’t bargain away the rights of the taxpayers.” Zarko said he is not picking on Howell, hut has filed FOIAs against school districts in several other areas of the state to get similar information.

Pinckney school board can only wait It will learn on June 20 about state cuts BY LEAN NE SMITH News Staff Reporter As it is with every Livingston County school district, balancing this year’s Pinckney Community Schools budget while trying to come up with next year’s is a lot like playing the game “Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe.” On one hand, it looked like Pinckney was going to use less of its fund equity than originally anticipated to balance this year’s nearly $38 million budget. On the other, an expected executive order cut could have the district using more of its reserves than expected. Just what Pinckney’s state per-student funding will be next year is anybody’s guess, said Superintendent Dan Danosl^. Right now, all district officials can do is wait to see if a full $122-per-student cut recently announced by Gov. Jennifer Granholm to help the state balance its budget will take place on June 20. That would cost Pinckney an additional $600,000 in state funding this year. “That’s 10 days before the end of our current fiscal year,” Danosky said. “There’s nothing you can do to soften that blow. All we can hope is that the governor and the Legislature will come up with some kind compromise so the news is not as dismal as this.” Pinckney officials had expected to use one third, or roughly $1.1 million, of the district’s current $3 million fund equity to balance this year’s budget, said Linda Moskalik, assistant superintendent for finance and operations. Savings realized from lower-thanexpected diesel bus fuel and utility costs and money saved by freezing the purchase of all supplies brought the exact amount needed from fund equity down to about $847,000, Moskalik said. “But that was before we heard about the cuts,” she said. An anticipated additional $1.5 million cut also is planned for the district’s 2007-08 budget, which must be adopted by July 1, Moskalik said. She estimates the closings of Pfizer Inc. in Ann Arbor and Ford Motor Co. Wixom plant will result in a 125 to 150 drop in student enrollment, at a loss of $7,085 per student in state funding next year. School officials also are basing next year’s budget on flat state funding, but additional cuts are always possible, they said. A special meeting of the district board of education has been set for 7 p.m. Thursday, June 28, to adopt the 2007-08 budget.

Board recalls some laid-off teachers The Brighton school board has voted to recall some of the staff members who were given layoff notices for the 2007-08 school year. Three teachers were recalled to their previous positions. 'Two more teachers were given a partial recall - for fewer hours than their current level of employment. Fourteen teachers were given layoff notices by the Brighton board in April. Garden club selling potted wildflowers Although Brighton Garden Club members have decided not to host their annual wildflower sale - which is usually this week - wildflower committee chairwoman Sue Rusnik said there are plenty of potted wildflowers for sale. “We still have plants left from last year,” Rusnik said. Varieties for sale include jackin- the-pulpit, white trillium, turtlehead, blue lobelia and penstemmon. The trillium and jack-in-the-pulpit cost $10 per pot; the other plants are three for $10. Rusnik said she would also consider taking special orders to dig and sell plants that are not on the list. Anyone interested in purchasing potted wildflowers can contact Rusnik at 810-229-5165. Arbor Day event slated for Thursday The city of Brighton was to have its sixth annual Arbor Day event Thursday at Mill Pond Park, with Mayor Pro- Tern Ricci Bandkau reading the Arbor Day proclamation and second-grade students from Lindbom Elementary School planting a tree donated by the Brighton Garden Club.

Next year - in addition to the all-day, alternate- day classes - the ffistrict has decided to offer a four-day pilot program allowing one class of 25 students to attend kindergarten all day Monday through Thursday. “I’d love to have more (fourday classes),” Smith Principal Jim Kitchen said. “If we get the kids in the classroom for more time, it’s got to be good for them.” Parents who are interested in the class may enroll students at the Smith office at 440 N. Hibbard St., and fill out a form saying they are interested in attending the fourday kindergarten class. Students will be selected by lottery this summer and parents will be informed of the results at the end of August. For more information, contact Kitchen at 517-223-6005. Auto tech teacher hired at high school Fowlerville Community Schools has hired Randy Smith, 25, as the new Fowlerville High School auto tech teacher. He replaces Terry Boettger, who resigned to take a job with Suzuki Corp. in Georgia. Smith is certified as an automotive technician by the Automotive Society of Excellence. He is also certified by the ASE as an engine block and cylinder head machining specialist. “His certification is unbelievable,” said Principal Wayne Roedel. “That says a lot about what he knows about auto. I’m excited to have him here because he’s going to be dynamite.” Smith previously worked as a para-professional at Kearsley High School in Flint and taught at Baker and Mott community colleges. He lives in Mount Morris. Library expansion consultant chosen The Fowlerville District Library board voted to contract with Jeff Turner of Turner -F Calloway Architects in Brighton to perform a library needs assessment as a prelude to designing a library expansion. The terms of the contract are under review. “We are waiting for our lawyer to look (the contract) over,” said library director Cheryl Poch. “The board has okayed that Jeff is under contract so he’ll be working as soon as I get the okay.” Turner’s assessment will analyze existing conditions at the library and determine library needs for the next two decades. The board also authorized funds for a title search of the library property at 131 Mill St., and an adjacent right of way that is under the jurisdiction of the village of Fowlerville.

The tax renewal passed on a 1,607-774 vote; the Headlee override was approved 1,565- 799. Residents who own their own homes as their primary residence will continue to pay the 6 mills required under Proposal A and will not see a tax increase. Overall, 14 McPherson- Brown: Incumbent defeats Tierney to win a second 4-year term in Hartland. .percent of the district’s registered voters cast ballots. Hartland Schools Superintendent Janet Sifferman called the passage of both proposals the best possible scenario for the school district. She said that if the millage levy on nonresidential property was not renewed at the full 18 mills, the school district would have lost more than $5 million for the 2007- 2008 school year. The district’s total budget is close to $44 million, and now that both proposals have passed, the district should be on track for the 2007-2008 school year, according to Sifferman and not have to make any cuts. Incumbent Elsie McPherson- Brown defeated Dennis Tierney (1,114-1,011) in the race for one 4-year term open on the Hartland school board. This will be McPherson- Brown’s second term. “I want to say thank you to the community that voted for me,” she said “I am going to continue doing what I have been doing and make thoughtful decisions in the best interest of everyone in my district. I am hoping I can convince Lansing through lobbying efforts that we need a stable form of funding for education so we don’t have the problem of running out of money.” McPherson-Brown said she was thrilled that the nonhomestead millage and Headlee override passed. “My district will not be short $5 million,” said McPherson- Brown. “We need that money. “It also signals to the state that in Hartland we’re willing to do our part. We need the state government to do theirs.” Lisa Carolin can be reached at lcarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010. Colone, Crampo, MacRitchie on board 7 .2% o f v o t e r s g o t o t h e p o lls in P in c k n e y s c h o o l r a c e BY LEA N N E SM ITH News Staff Reporter Getting re-elected to their seats on the Pinckney Community Schools Board of Education Tdesday was pretty easy for incumbents Anne Colone and Michelle Crampo. And Kevin MacRitchie, who filed as the only write-in candidate for a one-year board term also easily won his seat. The hard part for all of them is in being part of a group that must decide how to plan for and operate a school district whose budget is based on state funding that’s always determined at the last minute and then often cut after that. “We will be making some very hard decisions,” said Colone, current board president. “But 1 think this will be an excellent group that will work hard and well together for the kids and the good of our district. I’m veiy happy that I can continue on as pml; of this school board.” With 1,059 votes, Colone, 60, earned her fourth fouryear board term. Crampo, 45, appointed to the board in November when Carol Houston married and moved outside the district, also earned her own four-year term with 870 votes. They were challenged From left: Colone, Crampo and MacRitchie ail earn seats in Pinckney. by 24-year-old Jason Reifschneider, a 2002 Pinckney Community High School graduate, who received 464 votes. Overall, 7.2 percent of voters went to the polls. “I’m veiy happy that I’ll be on the board another four years,” Crampo said. “It’s going to be an interesting time and a big challenge, but I hope people realize we will do the best we possibly can for our schools and our students.” MacRitchie, 41, of Putnam Township will complete the final year of Houston’s four-year term. The seat he was running for received 105 write-in votes and, because he was the only person who filed to run as a write-in candidate for it, MacRitchie only needed to get one vote to win. Colone and Crampo agree MacRitchie will be a good addition to the group based on his knowledge of technology and his real-world work experience as the owner of four local businesses and as vice president and chief strategy officer for Cisco Systems Global Defense, Nation^ Intelligence and Homeland Security Division. “Kevin will be an excellent board member,” Colone said. “He already is very involved with the schools and he is committed to this community. He brings a lot of experience to this board.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@livingstoncommunitynews. com or at810-844-2011.

At least two e-mails were sent by Day that urged votes for candidates Harvey and Moore. “These men not only bring fiscal leadership to the table, but they are endorsed by Right to Life and the Concerned Taxpayers Group,” read her Monday message. While the Livingston Organization for Values in Education group did not formally endorse them, Harvey and Moore were generally considered to be the most conservative candidates in the pool of six. Day was supported by the LOVE group in last year’s election. Neither Harvey nor Moore could be reached after election results were tallied. Literski, an attorney and Genoa Township resident who was endorsed by the Howell Education Association, attributes his win in part to the teacher’s union which represents almost 500 district employees. He also credits the voters for “studying the candidates” and their philosophies. Looking ahead, Literski wants to “m ^ e sure Unofficial election results Pratt: Retains seat in Howell Literski:Top vote-getter both high schools are functional and operational in the shortest time possible.” Pratt, a secretary to Livingston County Circuit Court Judge David Reader, said the teacher contract and school funding were top priorities. “The issues of funding and equity need to be addressed, and it has to be addressed by the community, the employees, by everybody,” she said. Early Wednesday morning, the district announced that it had reached a tentative agreement with teachers. Superintendent Chuck Breiner said union leaders and administrators met Monday and Tuesday nights to negotiate. Reach Laurie Humphrey at 810-844-2003 or lhumphrey@ Hvingstoncommunitynews.com.

Liv in g s to n Coun ty United Way A4 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 11, 2007 O P E R A H O U S E FROM A1 I s t - f l o o r c h a n g e m e a n s p o t e n t ia l i n c o m e cal gem” that drew crowds regularly from bigger cities such as Detroit. The Opera House stage also was home to afeiirs for local residents over the years, including graduation ceremonies, amateur plays and business meetings. Once the second floor was closed off, the first floor become retail space. “The last time most of the I people were in this (first-floor) room, it was a hardware store,” said Brent Earl, president of the Livingston Arts Council, speculating on reaction from people who will drop in during the two-day grand opening ceremony. “And the second floor (stage area) was a storage room,” he added. While second and third floors have yet to be touched, the longterm plan is in motion seven years after the Livingston Arts Council bought the building, intending to restore it. “This is all very exciting,” said Mary Heikkinen, office administrator of the Livingston Arts Council. The upcoming celebration not only marks the end of firstfloor renovations, it gives way to potential rental income for second- and third-floor improvements. “The goal is to move up,” Earl confirmed. “The first floor will provide a revenue stream for the Livingston Arts Council to fund what we’re really trying to do, which is renovate upstairs.” Possible uses for the 3,500- square-foot first floor include: storytelling sessions and art exhibits, business conferences and banquets, plays, dance lessons and indoor concerts. The room, which will have new restrooms, doors and windows, structural enhancements to the floor, city code improvements, total lighting and heating-cooling unit replacements, also is available for private receptions. That income will cover utilities and other costs, so a larger percentage of-donations could be used to improve the original theater, balconies, ticket office and reception area upstairs. “I had a vision of what The Opera House could be,” said Earl when asked why he got involved with the Arts Council. A sixth-generation Livingston County resident, Earl connected with the arts council in 2002, despite the complexities of a full-time sales job and family life, which includes a wife and four children. “I want to be able to come here and be entertained,” he added. Itsell, who works as a concert promoter, also plans to fi^uent The Opera House upon its restoration. Although he couldn’t say what live groups may perform in the intimate theater, he sees “a tremendous future for The Opera House.” Whether the site showcases national artists, up-andcoming musical acts, or even high school graduations, Itsell believes the theater will be viewed as a “community meeting place,” just as it was at the turn of the century, when many of Itsell’s relatives accepted their high school diplomas among velvet curtain backdrops, gas lamp fixtures and hand-stenciled 13-foot ceilings. “My great-grandfather, Charles Itsell, graduated on that stage in 1896,” said John Itsell. The elder Itsell died before John Itsell was born, leaving him only to imagine the grandeur of the event’s pomp and circumstance.

Dale Brewer of Green Oak Township, who called her the “go-to lady.” “When things need to be done, you call Joanna,” Brewer said. “Her experience and commitment to people in this area is invaluable.” Hardesty focused on raising her family when her sons were young, but no one called her a stay-at-home mom. “The boys were in Scouts and sports - everything from soccer and football to basketball and baseball,” she said. Hardesty ran concession stands at the games and worked closely with other parents who shared her love of sports and recreation. “Not too many communities have the faciUties we do,” she said. “It was a wise decision made by a past township board.

An expanded field for radio-controlled airplanes is being put in by the Hamburg Flyers, and Hardesty hopes a newly formed volunteer effort will bring an outdoor amphitheater to the park in the near future. “It’s easy to always see something that needs to be done,” she said. “I’m lucl^ to have a strong group of volunteers with me. You can’t do it alone.” C O N T R A C T FROM A1 H E A , s c h o o l b o a r d y e t t o r a t i f y p a c t he was pleased that an agreement has been reached. “Our members are excited about being able to focus their time and energy on instructional issues that advance the school system in the interest of children,” Norton was quoted in a school district press release. The HEA’s board was scheduled to meet Monday and a general membership meeting is set for May 21 to consider the agreement. “The principal parties in this dialogue were committed to resolving their issues and to putting an end to their differences. The mediator, the HEA bargaining team, district administrators, and MEA’s director were all instrumental” in the tentative agreement. Superintendent Chuck Breiner said in a school district statement. The school board would vote on the agreement at a June meeting once the teachers have ratified the contract. The school board voted in February to declare itself the district’s insurance policyholder, ra th e r than Michigan Education Special Services Association, the health care insurance arm of the MEA. That paved the way for giving the district the option of using a different health care insurance provider.

Taking their seats in July will be Beth Minert and Greg Rassel. They were the top vote-getters from a field of eight candidates competing for two open 4-year terms on the school board that had been vacated by Miles Vieau and Dawn Boss. Overall, 10 percent of registered voters went to the polls. Minert (1,068 votes) is a retired Brighton teacher who says she wants to stay involved in education and calls the district’s fund equity and maintaining a strong curriculum key issues. “I’m pleased that the community feels I can represent them fairly on the school board,” said Minert. “I’ve got to do my homework right now to come up to speed. I’d be interested in working on Minert: Stays Rassel: Gets involved the most votes the curriculum committee because I’m familiar with it and want to make sure high school students can succeed with new curriculum mandates.” Minert taught both kindergarten and third grade, and has worked recently as a substitute teacher. Rassel (1,100 votes), who has one child in the Brighton school district, is the director of recreation and public service for the city of Royal Oak and a colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. “F irst you have to put the day-to-day operations in order,” said Rassel. “I’m looking forward to going to work and doing what we can to fix what’s wrong fiscally and to continue to offer the high level of education residents expect. If we’re going to depend on schools of choice, the high school is in need of an upgrade. If you look at the other high schools in the area, our facility seems to be a little worn.” Rassel said updating technology in the schools is another priority. According to Brighton Superintendent Jim Craig, the school district is facing a deficit ranging between $300,000 and $3.7 million, and the district is anticipating a loss of at least 50 students for the 2007-08 school year. The Brighton school district also is facing contract negotiations with all its employee groups, including the teachers’ union, whose contract expires at the end of August.

He always had a smile on his face.” Those comments, made by Hartland High School student Tony Sinelli, summed up the feelings of classmates about Christopher Comly, 18, who died April 29 in a one-car auto crash. Sinelli was one of about 500 of Comly’s classmates who jammed the First P resbyterian Church in Brighton May 3, for his funeral. The Rev. Gus Nussdorfer, a family friend who is the former pastor of the Hartland Presbyterian Church, called Comly a “wonderful young man, whose smile and spirit reached out to all people.” Nussdorfer said there are no easy answers when the life of a person at the threshold of his adult life is suddenly taken. “Why did this happen? He was so young,” Nussdorfer said. “He had a big heart and a great personality. ... He was patient and conscious of people’s feelings,” said classmate Krista Stergierwalt. “He stood by me when others didn’t, and showed that he cared.” The crash occurred when the car Comly was driving went off Blaine Road and hit several trees about a quarter mile from his home. The Livingston County Sheriff’s Department is awaiting toxicology results to determine if other factors contributed to the crash. Undersheriff Mike Murphy said Monday it would be at least another week before the results are known. The Comly family has a Christopher Comly, 18, died April 29 in a one-car crash on Blaine Road in Hartland Township. Friends and family remembered him at a funeral service in Brighton last week, saying "h e had a big heart" and was a "good son." strong faith in God, but that doesn’t make it any easier when dealing with such a loss, and Christopher’s dad Ian Comly said the past several days have been difficult. “We’re just taking it day to day,” he said. “We’re trying to deal with it; it’s new territory for us.” Stergierwalt told the funeral attendees that family came first in Comly’s life. “His family was important to him,” she said. “He wasn’t perfect, but he was a good son, good grandson, good neighbor and friend,” Nussdorfer added. “I couldn’t ask for a better friend,” Stergierwalt said. Comly was a member of the Boy Scouts of America, and Scout leaders posthumously awarded him the Eagle Scout badge.

Boy Scouts and athletes, and (underclassmen), not just seniors; he was very comfortable making friends.” Comly played both high school hockey and golf, and had been a hockey referee for four years in Pee Wee, Midget, House and AAA leagues. “He did well at (refereeing); I wasn’t sure it was a great thing for him to get into,” Ian Comly said, alluding to how adults sometimes act, getting overly wrought as spectators when their children are involved. “It worked out well,” Comly said. “He learned how to deal with adults in a s tre ssful environment.” Christopher Comly led a very busy life. In addition to going to school, playing sports and being a hockey referee he also worked parttime at two area golf courses - last year at Hartland Glen and this year at Mystic Creek, taking care of golf carts and other chores. Comly, described as being very bright, had been accepted at Kettering University in Flint as an engineering student. Acquaintances of Comly say the loss of his warm friendship and smile will not be easily forgotten. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009. Buy local foods for safety and quality The contaminated Chinese protein powder that has sickened some 17,000 American dogs and cats has now turned up in the human food supply. The U.S. Department of Agriculture admits that 6,000 pigs and more than 2.5 million broiler chickens were sold for human consumption after being fed contaminated pet food. This was a disaster waiting to happen. After all, animal feed mills are generally regarded as dumping grounds for all kinds of garbage. ... Why the fuss about some slightly toxic Chinese protein powder? Our government and agribusiness will not protect our food supply, but we can, by purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables grown close to home - at farmers’ markets and local food co-ops - and by avoiding garbage-fed meat and dairy products.

The first of two required public hearings on phase one of the township’s M-36 Corridor Municipal Water Project, part of the Livingston Community Water Authority, is set for 6:15 p.m. 'Ihesday in Township Hall, 10405 Merrill Road. The creation of a special assessment district and estimated costs will be discussed. If the township board votes to move forward, another hearing will take place this summer. If the owners of more than 50 percent of the acreage in the proposed district still support the project then, construction of the water line should begin in September and be finished by late November, said Supervisor Cindy Pine. Users’ first payments would show up on their December tax biUs, Pine said. Tliesday’s hearing was set by the board in April after it received 25 petitions from property owners in the area who support a public water system. TTiey own 58 percent of the nearly 287 acres in the proposed district, which runs ^ m the township’s eastern border with Green Oak Township west to the Hamburg Professional Center and Michigan Rehabilitation Specialists at 7785 E. M-36. Businesses supporting the system include Dragon Court Restaurant, Hamburg Village Shopping Center, Countryside Veterinary Clinic, Borek Jennings FXmeral Home, Mastercraft Plumbing and The Village at Hamburg, a new shopping center planned for the former Alpine Grocery property. ‘The township is moving into the 21st century,” said Mark Wisely, owner of Mastercraft Plumbing, 7879 E.

That’s going to help with my insurance rates. It will be a great advantage for businesses here.” Hamburg trustees in March approved a resolution to issue $1.9 million in capital improvement bonds to construct the water line. Officials estimate there are about 230 residential equivalency units needed by all properties in the district, ^ e said. An REU is a standard measure water consumption based on the amount a tj^ical home might use. Larger businesses can require more than one REU. The township expects to asses each property owner between $6,500 and $7,000 to tap into the system, Pine said. Besides paying for the water they use per REU, users also would pay a $9.50-per-customer administration fee each quarter and an $ll-per-month per- REU fee to retire a $2 million bond secured by the township in 2002 to buy into the commxmity water authority, which also consists of Green Oak and Brighton townships. The township’s general fund has absorbed about $94,000 a year the last couple of years to pay for that initial bond, said Trustee Pat Hohl. A water enterprise fund will be set up to reimburse the general fund for these payments, Pine said. Hohl and 'lYustee George Majoros opposed the initial bond, saying Hamburg’s participation in the water authority at the time was premature because it didn’t have customers, solid plans or proposed rates. Pine agreed there was a lack of planning, something the board has worked hard the last year to rectify and move the project along.

New home will be built for low-income Livingston family BUILDING & REAL ESTATE Joint effort leads to plans for house on vacant Howell lot BYLISACAROLIN News Staff Reporter Affordable housing in Livingston County got a boost on May 4 when ground was broken for a single-family home on North Street in Howell. First National Bank of Howell donated the lot, which had reverted to the bank in a foreclosure. “This is a nice joint effort between First National Bank, Housing Growth & Opportunities, the Oaldand Livingston Human Service Agency, Venture Inc. and the city of Howell to create the situation so that a home could be built on the lot,” said Scott Peters, vice president of commercial lending at First National Bank. “It’s a small lot, difficult to do anything with, but we’ve been working with the city of Howell, which granted a variance so a home could be constructed on it.” Housing Growth & Opportunities has been instrumental in making the project happen. HG&O is a group of 20 individuals representing local banks, chambers of commerce, human service agencies, and building companies, who are trying to enable initiatives to- \rard providing more affordable housing in Livingston County. HG&O is working in partnership with First National Bank of Howell, the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency and the U.S. Department of A^culture Rural Development program to finance the home. “Our program will be used after the home is built to make the payments on it,” said USDA Rural Development specialist Mark Zajac, from the USDA’s Genoa 'Tbwnship office. “This is the first project of its kind so there is no normal way to do this. “I’m confident that an acceptable client will be foimd through the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency.” OLHSA’s housing subsidiary, Venture Inc., will oversee the building of the home. Catherine Rea Dunning, Livingston County director of OLHSA, says it has been difficult putting together an affordable package for Venture Inc. in Livingston County because the cost of land is so high, but she is confident the agency will find a family that fits the low-income criteria to own the home. “We’re very excited,” said Rea Dunning. “It’s been such a great collaborative. The goal is to have the home completed by fall.” Rea Dunning said the plan is to use Prison Build, a state program in which prisoners prebuild sections of walls, cabinets, and the roof portion of the home in prison. Kathleen Kline-Hudson, chairman of HG&O and assistant director of the Livingston County Planning Department, says, “It wasn’t Housing Growth & Opportunities’ intent to construct housing, but when you’re provided an opportunity like this, it’s exciting. “We hope this new home is a model for more collaborative initiatives and an eye-opening event for other local banks to consider.” Lisa Carolin can be reached at lcarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010.

Alan is being treated for juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. Above is Alan's plan for his dream treehouse; at right, he peeks down from the secondstory as the treehouse is being built in his backyard. A birthday to remember Wish to be celebrated as 5,000th granted by Make-a-Wish Foundation RICK FITZGERALD The Livingston Community News Turning 10 is an important milestone for any youngster. Alan Kasten III had more reasons than most to celebrate last Sunday. Just one week earlier he completed a year of treatments at the University of Michigan Medical Center that followed a bone marrow transplant to treat a rare form of leukemia. Then came the treehouse, which was finished in time for the birthday celebration. And what a tree house it is: Two stories high with a log-cabin look on the first floor and rough-sawn siding on the second. A porch on one end of the second story with twig railings and a slide that takes visitors back to ground level. TWo oak trees poke through the green metal roof. All of this has taken shape in the bacl^ard of his Brighton Township home. When Alan got a look at it coming together last week, all he had to say was, “Wow!” It has been quite a year for Alan. It was just a year ago that he got a bone marrow transplant fix)m his 4-year-old sister AUie. He’s had a year’s worth of follow-up care at U-M and that’s not exactly fun for an active young guy who wants to spend as much time outdoors as he can. His mom Sally Kasten has been home schooling him to keep him on track academically during treatment.

It was during one of his regu- ^ lar visits to the U-M Medical P Center that another parent mentioned Make-A-Wish, says his mom. They checked into it and that led to about eight months of anticipation and planning once Alan decided he wanted a treehouse. 1^ “Thanks. Thanks a lot,” was what Alan wanted to say to eveiyone who has pitched in to create his two-story treehouse. Leading the effort is Roth, who has built 18 treehouses in 12 states over the past seven years. He designed this treehouse based, in part, on a drawing Alan made of the kind of structime he longed for. The designer-builder made a visit to the site last fall. Alan calls his new favorite place a “tree fort” partially because the first floor looks like a log-built fort and partially because of the way he will play in the structure with his friends. Roth calls it a treehouse be- _ cause “there are no enemies in P a treehouse.” Alan’s dad Alan Hasten Jr. says the whole treehouse planning process has helped to take Ws son’s mind off all the medical treatments. The youth pastor I at the nearby Pleasant Valley ft Baptist Church, Alan Kastan Jr. said the whole experience of working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation has underscored his belief that “there are more good people in this world thcin bad.” According to Make-A-wish officials, there are 600 children who qualify for wishes, but only enough money to grant about 400 of them. The foundation will take in more than $4 million in donations this yean Children pick lots of different types of wishes, from family trips and celebrity encounters to computers, play structures and, well, treehouses. The average wish has a cost of about 1^ $8,000 with about half of the money donated in various ways. Alan’s parents say they talked about getting a camper or some sort of recreationFd vehicle. Alan loves the outdoors and ^ he really wanted to make sure ^ his wish did not exclude the family dogs. Scout the beagle and Rocl^ the chocolate Lab. Then they discovered the Web site for Forever Young Ti-eehouses (treehouses.org). It was perfect. While Alan’s mom says it’s been a blast being with her children more this year, she’s also anxious for Alan to get back to his fourth-grade class at Brighton’s Lindbom Elementary School in the fall. Besides Alan, there is 8-yearold Alex, 4-year-old Allie and 3-year-old Alivia. The past year has made Sally Hasten realize that everything in life is temporary. ^ “Enjoy your kids while you can,” she advises other parents.

On a 4-2 vote last May 3, the City Council decided to return artist Jay Holland’s “Decision Pending” sculpture to its original location at Mill Pond Park. The statue is part of the Brighton Biennial, a downtown exhibit of nearly 30 large-scale sculptures by a variety of artists. Brighton Biennial Curator John Sauve was pleased with the council vote. “I’m a little biased since I chose the location, (but) I think it’s a great location,” Sauve said. “I’m glad they stuck to the original plan.” Mayor Steve Monet and Mayor Pro 'Item Ricci Bandkau voted against the motion. Monet proposed moving the sculpture to a less conspicuous location, in light of criticism from some quarters in the community who say its too risque to place at the entrance to a family park. 'The sculpture was recently tipped over on its base by vandals, and was removed in order to repair the pedestal. The statue itself was not damaged, and is to be returned as soon as repairs are complete. Police have made no arrests in the vandalism. “A lot of folks don’t think this is an appropriate location for ‘Decision Pending,’ and they have a valid point,” Monet said before the vote. “Some say I’m an art snob and we’re trying to force our RICK FITZGERALD, LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS The Brighton City Council has decided to put Ja y Holland's "Decision Pending" sculpture back in its original location along W est Main Street at the Mill Pond when its base is repaired. opinions on them, others say they’re on the side of freedom of speech, freedom of expression,” he added. An earlier motion by Bandkau to move the abstract bronze sculpture to the gazebo area of the park, and relocate a popular sculpture called “The Children” to a spot near the Imagination Station playground, died for lack of a second. Monet argued that security was not good for “Decision Pending” at the gazebo site and he would prefer moving it to Grand River Avenue. “The Children,” featuring busts of two children and created by artist Marie Davis, is currently located on Fourth Street, one block off Grand River Avenue. Monet said the latter sculpture should be at the “Decision Pending” spot, while others felt it is too small in size for such a site. “The scale is completely wrong, it looks like two shrunken heads,” said Council Member John 'Rmis, who has earned a little “sculpture notoriety” of his own by having two sculptures placed on the lawn of his home at West Main and Third streets. The mayor was philosophical about being on the losing side of the vote. “ I support moving it, but I also support the right of fi'eedom of speech and expression,” he said. Jon Stoppels, who had earlier argued for moving “Decision Pending,” voted to put it back where it was. While stressing she recognized the nude sculpture’s artistic merit, Bandkau nonetheless criticized the action to return it to its old site. “(The sculpture) is near the Veterans Memorial part of the Miff Pond, and the area is dedicated to the veterans,” she said. “Anything, sculptures or otherwise, that takes away from the sanctity and patriotism of our country and from that landmark area is unacceptable to me.... flt) is a personal insult to our veterans and to our memorial,” Bandkau said in prepared remarks. Bandkau and Monet, are both members of the Mayor’s Commission on Art in Public Places. That group was formed in 2004 specifically to promote art projects that are accessible at no cost to the public, and whose main venture to date has been the Brighton Biennial.

RELAY F R O M B l P o n t o o n t o b e r a f f le d tivating factor to participate,” says Bonomo. “Our main goal is to raise awareness about cancer.” The Hound Dogs had a bake sale last week to raise money for the team, and to let students who bought baked goods be a part of helping the team. Nearly every student at Hilton signed a large felt banner earlier this week that the team will carry at the relay. Participants at the Brighton Relay will get to see and have a chance to win a pink pontoon boat known as the Stone Soup Passionately Pink Pontoon. 'The pontoon was restored by members from the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce. It will be on display at the high school and a raffle is set to take place on Saturday, May 19, at 4 p.m. at the Brighton ^ la y for Life to determine the winner. Proceeds raised firim the sale of raffle tickets, which cost $10 apiece, will be donated to the American Cancer Society as part of the Brighton Relay for Life. There will be separate Relays for Life in Fowlerville and Hartland in September. Last year’s Brighton Relay for Life raised more than $275,000. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Michigan, behind heart disease. There were 19,470 deaths from cancer in the state in 2006; the leading death-causing cancer is lung cancer.

It only makes sense, then, that these two Hamburg 'Township friends have started Inner Spaces, a home-based business that helps people sort through clutter, clean and organize. “It comes n a tu i^ y to us, but we know there are a lot of people out there who struggle with getting organized,” Price says. “We want them to enjoy their homes and their workspaces and have peace in their environment.” Peace, joy and a little prosperity are what Debbie Kwapisz got from Inner Spaces when Price and Peterson helped her clean and organize a room in her Hamburg 'Township home that she also uses as an office and for sewing, crafts and scrapbooking. “They found a $25 winning lottery ticket,” Kwapisz says. “They took afi the stuff that was scattered through my house and put it together in one space. It certainly does lower your stress level when you know where stuff is.” The experience wasn’t at all uncomfortable or embarrassing, either, Kwapisz says. “It was like having friends come over to help you,” she says. “They made it fun. They made suggestions and gave me actual projects to do. They said I was pretty organized; I just had too much stuff.” Price and Peterson customize each job to the individual.

Price and Peterson do housecleaning using all-natural products made from vinegar, baking soda, tea tree oil, glycerin soap and essential oils. They’ll even make suggestions and offer to help with home decorating. “Organization can be learned,” Peterson says. “We’ll get you started, help with the work and then leave you with the tools to stay organized.” Price and Peterson have certification from the Natipnal Association of Professional Organizers. Organization projects start at $30 per hour. Cleaning services range from $50-$130. Call price at 734-645-1455 or Fteterson at 810-599-3118. Leanne Smith can be reached at 810-844-2011. C l e a n i n g h o u s e One of the easiest ways to get organized is to get rid of the clutter. Hamburg Township's Ann Marie Price and Candy Peterson, owners and consultants of Inner Spaces, a cleaning and organizing service, use these junk-sorting guidelines to help people do just that. It's ju n k if: ■ It's broken and fixing it is unrealistic. ■ It's been outgrown or is the wrong size, color or style. ■ You hate it. ■ It wouldn't matter if you never saw it again. ■ You have to clean it or store it but you rarely use it. It's not Ju n k if: ■ It generates love and good feelings. ■ It does something you need to get done. ■ It has cash value. ■ It would be treasured by someone else.

They are among the 14 members to be inducted May 19 at the University of Michigan’s Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor. The two long-time coaches are the faces of football in Livingston County. They both epitomize what is good about high school football in our communities. The two have known each other professionally for years. They sometimes drive to off-season coaches meetings together and their players meet in 7-on-7 passing drills during the summer. “We have a mutual respect for each other’s program and the job we do,” Wallace says. It takes a true love of the game to stay in coaching as long as these two have. Especially in football, which demands year-round attention. Murray has had steady success, good enough for a 141-56 record in 20 years at Brighton (204-80 in his 31st season overall). He has endured just two losing seasons - 4-5 his first season in 1987 and last year. His Drew Henson teams in the late 1990s were legendary, a precursor to the passing explosion that has infiltrated the prep scene. Wallace has had a more up-and-down ride, amassing a 159-95 record in 26 years at Fowlerville. He’s had some spectacular seasons, like one-loss years in 1986, 1991,1997 and 2003. But he’s also had 11 losing seasons. That’s more a product of a small-school program, where some years the kids are dedicated and talented, and other years the numbers are lean. Neither has won a state title, but both have engineered their program’s most proficient playoff runs in recent years. In 2005, the Bulldogs (10-3) advanced to their first Division I state semifinal, losing to Rockford in triple overtime. Last year, the Gladiators (10-3) won their first district title in school history before losing to Farmington Hills Harrison in the Division 3 state semifinals. Both men say the right thing about their inductions, calling football the ultimate “team sport.” They credit their players and the assistant coaches for their hard work together over the years. Normally, inductions into a hall of fame happen at the twilight or after a career is over, but I wouldn’t be surprised if both Murray and Wallace continue coaching a while. Both say they enjoy the challenge. “It is a year-to-year propo- SEE DEEGAN, C2 No. 1 tennis guns compete Saturday BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter Playing No. 1 singles is a blessing and a curse. It provides bragging rights -y o u ’re the best on your team and at your school. But, at the same time, you’re thrown into the snakepit, forced to survive a brutal schedule competing against the best from other schools. Even the worst tennis program usually has a basher who can play the game well. This year, four of the five local Kensington Valley Conference programs welcomed back their No. 1 player, including South Lyon’s Jinhak Kim, Hartland’s James Naughton and Howell’s Alex Morse. Pinckney No. 1 Travis Roberts played No. 2 last season and Brighton’s Joel Parrish, the defending Kensington Valley Conference champ has been unseated by senior Mike Cluskey. With all those top enced and improved, the competition at Saturday’s KVC tournament at Novi Middle School should be tighter than ever. Both Brighton’s Brian Martin and Hartland’s Judy Jagdfeld, two coaches who have been involved in their programs for at least 20 years, acknowledge that the KVC’s depth of talent at No. 1 singles is bette r than ever. Martin says it’s the toughest flight to win. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, Alex M o r s e , Howe l l There have been some good players at Howell over the years, but none like Morse, who has been the team’s No. 1 for four years, compiling a 37-35 career record. Morse, 9-5 this season, says this year has been special. “I’m playing better than past years,” he says. “I want this season to be the best one.” Morse has a unique game - his backhand is better than his forehand. “His intelligence and his backhand get him out of some dangerous situations,” Howell coach Mark Oglesby says. Morse and his younger sister. South Lyon's Jinhak Kim took up the game only five years ago. "He's got a power game," says coach Don Valentine. JAMIE CHARBENEAUPISELLA. THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS “Usually, it boils down to a Brighton or Novi kid (in the finals of most flights), but, of any of the flights, that is the one where your kid could potentially be knocked out in the first round,” he says. Jagdfeld says it will be interesting to see which players have maintained their level of play from a year ago. “It’s pretty unusual to have so many teams with their No. 1 back,” she says. “They competed against each other last year. Will it be the same (placing) this year?” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@livingstoncommunitynews. com or at 810-844-2012. Howell's Alex Morse has been No. 1 on his team for four years. "His intelligence and his backhand get him out of some dangerous situations," Howell coach Mark Oglesby says. JASON DEEGAN, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Hartland's James Naughton is a three-sport standout. "He brings tremendous athletic ab ility to our team ," says coach Ju d y Jagdfeld. J a m e s N a u g h t o n , H a r t l a n d sophomore Elizabeth Morse, Howell’s No. 2 singles player last fall, were adopted from South Korea as babies. They learned the game from their father, Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse, an avid player. The two siblings, who are not blood-related, like to compete and trash talk but support one another’s programs by serving as team managers when they’re not playing. “We root for each other,” Morse says. Morse will attend the University of Michigan to study engineering. Naughton is a rare breed at No. 1 singles. He doesn’t play tennis year-round. He’s a threesport standout who plays soccer in the fall and skis in the winter. He doesn’t put as much time into the sport as most No. Is do. After starting the season 0-6, he’s come on lately, improving to 4-11. “Tennis is not his all-consuming sport,” Hartland coach Judy Jagdfeld says. “He’s a great soccer and slder. He brings tremendous athletic ability to our team.” Jagdfeld says Naughton has great leadership skills, a good work ethic at practice and a positive outlook. “You just never see him slacking,” she says. “Even when he’s behind, he keeps fighting. He doesn’t get discouraged. He’s an inspiration.” Naughton, a top student, plans to attend the University of Michigan to study engineering and possibly education. J i n h a k Kim, S o u t h Lyon He didn’t grow up playing tennis. Jinhak Kim took up the game just five years ago at the urging of his parents. He says he loved the game almost instantly. “I was definitely not good,” at first, he says. “It was frustrating but fun.” Kim’s game eventually took off. The senior captain is leading the Lions to one of their best seasons ever this spring. The Lions won the Chelsea Quad and were in a fight for third in the KVC with Howell at press time. Kim, above .500 last season, is 5-4 this year. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton's Mike Cluskey has pushed to the top of the pack. "He's really an all-court player. He can hit It anywhere on the court," says coach Brian Martin. Kim and his younger brother, sophomore Doohak Kim, who plays No. 2 singles, like to compete, which has helped their games. They both train year-round at the Novi Sports Club. Coach Don Valentine says his top player is “greatly improved.” “He’s got a power game,” Valentine says. “He hits the ball hard. He tries to force errors by driving the ball with a lot of pace. He can chase down just about anything.” Kim plans to attend the University of Michigan and focus on a pre-med course of study. Mik e Cluskey, B r i g h t o n Cluskey, last yea r’s No. 3 singles player, beat returning No. 1 Joel Parrish (12-5 this season) in two of three challenge matches to earn the top billing three matches into the season. “My footwork has gotten better, (so has my) movement on the court,” Cluskey says of his improvement. “I’m more consistent. My serve has gotten bigger. That helps me a lot.” Brighton is the only local school to have the luxury of such balance at the top of the lineup. Last year, Parrish dethroned returning No. 1 Paul Nashar, too. Cluskey (10-7) had a big win over Matt Tangle of Grand Blanc last weekend but will have to play his best to beat Novi’s Vivek Athalye at his home. “He’s really an allcourt player,” Brighton coach Brian Martin says of Cluskey, who will study engineering at the University of Michigan. Pinckney's Travis Roberts has faced multiple injuries this season. "He's a great serve and volleyer,"says coach Dan Krause. He's good on both sides, with his forehand and backhand." JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Travis R o b e r t s , P i n c k n e y Roberts has had a tough season injury-wise. Coach Dan Krause says Roberts has battled shoulder and ankle problems. After losing to Alex Morse from Howell last week, Roberts went to the emergency room with shortness of breath. “When he’s healthy, he’s a great serve and volleyer,” Krause says. “We tried to work on that in the offseason. He’s good on both sides, with his forehand and backhand.” Roberts, the team MVP last season with an above .500 record, is 4-10 this season. “He has gotten smarter than last year. Shot-wise he is still the same,” Krause says. He will follow former Pinckney No. 1 Evan Valeri to Ferris State University to study in the tennis management program there. PR O F IL E S BY JA SO N DEEGAN, N EW S STAFF R EPO RT ER C2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 1 1,2007 Runner turns heads at the Boston Marathon Brighton Twp. man qualified during Ist-ever marathon BY JA SO N DEEGAN News Staff Reporter It takes some people a career of training to qualify for the Boston Marathon. For David Homann, it took one race. Homann, 39, of Brighton Township, is a rookie when it comes to running 26.2-mile marathons. But he doesn’t run like a newbie. He ran fast enough in his first try, the Detroit Free Press-Fiagstar Marathon last October, to qualify for this y e a r’s Boston Marathon. At the prestigious race April 16, he finished in 2 hours, 36 minutes and 4 seconds in poor weather conditions. The finish was good enough for 86th overall (81st among men) and the second-best finish by a Michigan runner. The time also is likely the fastest ever recorded by a Brighton Area Road Strider, says longtime member Bob Smith. Smith calls Homann “a natural.” “He beat the Detroit time on a much tougher course,” Smith says. “He has been training like a madman. Old timers say he’s got a lot of grit.” Homann didn’t think the accomplishment was all that special. The former Michigan State University distance runner wanted to finish in under 2 hours, 30 minutes. “I started to fade about the same place as in Detroit,” he recalls. “The last seven miles wasn’t great. That was where all the hills and the wind became a factor. (My performance) was OK.” Homann, a teacher in Garden City who works with children with autism, took a number of years off from competitive running after graduating from MSU in 1990. He says back and knee problems have slowed him down, but he always wanted to run a marathon. He hasn’t completed plans for another marathon, but he plans to race more. “Although I excelled in shorter events in my career, it seems the marathon suits my abilities,” he says. “I’ve got a lot of room to improve.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

If I don’t have passion, I won’t do it. Right now, I am enjoying myself.” Murray, 52, echoes the sentiment. “Who knows how long? I am not ready to quit,” he says. Murray’s program might be approaching a crossroads of sort. Every year, his team attracts fewer dedicated players, and the competition around him, especially at Hartland and Pinckney, has picked up. He says he and his staff are currently evaluating everything they do in order to get back to winning next season. “You always evaluate where you are and where you’ve been,” he says. “There are a lot of things we are looking to do different this year.” No matter how many changes in formations, certain things will remain a constant in Bulldog and Gladiator country. The county’s two hall-of-famers will run programs their communities can be proud of. And that’s more important than wins and losses.

She gives blood to the American Red Cross every six weeks. She assists with Special Olympics events and mentors young children. She does clerical work for various units of local government and has helped with spring cleanup at Hartland Cemetery Next month, she will be the youngest volunteer ever to intern at Michigan’s Democratic Headquarters in Lansing. Her stand-up efforts for the community and residents made her stand out among the dozen students nominated for the first Livingston County Young Citizen of the Year Award. As the inaugural winner of the honor, sponsored by The Livingston Community News, she will receive a $1,000 scholarship to continue her education. “We created this award to bring attention to the good work that Livingston County students are doing outside of the classroom,” said Rick Fitzgerald, managing editor of The News. “And Chelsea Lee is just the type of student we want to recognize.” The Hartland High School senior has spent the past four years volunteering for various organizations and improving the lives of countless people, because “I think it is important,” she said, “and it m ^ e s me feel good.” Lee, who plans to attend Michigan State University in the fdl, was raised in a house of service-oriented people.

All on Page B1 A commitment to those who make commitments RICK FITZGERALD The Livingston Community News Chelsea Lee was a natural se le c tion for our first Livingston Young Citizen of the Year award. The Hartland High School senior was selected for the honor because of her commitment to community service that goes beyond her school community. As you can read in the accompanying story about her achievements, she gives blood regularly, she helps with Special Olympics athletic events and she mentors young children. On top of that, she’s a good student who will serve a voluntary political internship this summer before heading off to the campus of Michigan State University in the fall to study marketing and fashion. As the Livingston Young Citizen of the Year she will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship by The Livingston Community News. I can think of no better way to celebrate our fourth anniversary as a newspaper than to give back to someone who gives back to the community. Chelsea Lee was selected from among 12 nominees from four area high schools.

Meanwhile, others question whether the change was really needed. Regardless of the debate, data from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality indicates that onethird of the wells in Livingston County exceed the new arsenic standard. “In 2001, the federal government reduced the (danger) number from 50 parts per billion to 10 parts per billion,” says Matt Bolang, groundwater specialist for the Environmental Health Division of the Livingston County Department of Public Health. “Everyone then had five years to comply with the new standard,” which also was adopted by the state and local health departments. Livingston County, along with eight other counties in the state, has above-average levels of arsenic in the soil, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The county is part of a Marshall Sandstone glacier formation that arches down from the tip of the Michigan thumb through Washtenaw County. Arsenic was left behind as waters receded, leaving a significant portion of Livingston County to test above the new standard for safe levels of arsenic. To date, there is nothing on the market that will eliminate arsenic at the ground level. As water rises from underwater aquifers through the sand and soil, it picks up traces of whatever it touches, carrying it into the house. “We always knew we had levels less than 50 (parts per billion), but more than 10 (parts per billion),” said Bolang.

Arsenic in water comes in 2 varieties BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News Staff Reporter Groundwater arsenic can fall into one of two categories - trivalent or pentavalent - otherwise known as Arsenic 3 and Arsenic 5, the more common varieties found locally. “Five is easier to remove than 3,” says Jim Coe, territory manager of Clearwater Systems-Kinetico dealerships in Green Oak and Hartland townships. The difference is in the chemical makeup of the naturally occurring ground metal. Coe said that point-of-use systems can be installed to reduce the amount of arsenic coming from the kitchen sink faucet, or homeowners can install whole-house filtering systems. “The goal (of either system) is to drop it below the 10 parts per billion. It is rare to get total removal, but the reverse osmosis system is more likely to remove it completely,” he says. Coe says it is difficult to determine which type of arsenic is being filtered, but adds that certain systems are third-party certified, or guaranteed for near complete removal for Arsenic 5. “I would suggest seriously considering those units which have the third-party validation,” he says. • INDEX Achievers B3 Calendar B4 Classified ads C3 Livingston Life B1-6 Retail Report A6 Scrapbook B2 Sports C1-2 Volunteers B3 To report news or for free home delivery call (810) 844-2000. r For the record - Errors of fact will be promptly corrected.To report an error, please call managing editor Rick Fitzgerald at (810) 844-2004. , Please Recycle WEUSERECYaEDnU^ The Livingston Community News 420 W.

The council unanimously agreed to fund the project through the sale of general obligation capital improvement bonds for water supply and sewage disposal system improvements in an amount not to exceed $1.2 million. In order to use current bids and take advantage Of the spring construction season, the council voted to proceed with work before the bonds are issued, “Frank Street and East Street have a lot of problems with water and sewage, and if we don’t do this project, we’ll have enormous maintenance costs,” Village President Wayne Copeland said. The council approved a construction contract for $1.4 million with low-bidder Mauldon Construction of Mason, through the council’s engineering consultant. Wolverine Engineers & Surveyors Inc., also of Mason. The engineering firm projected a total cost. including engineering and financial expenses, of $1.7 million. Council members David Kuehn and Carol Hill voted no on proceeding with construction; council member Mary Helfmann was not present. There will be no increase in taxes to pay for the work. The village plans to pay for the bonds with proceeds from the water and sewer system. “We need to get this project done,” Copeland said. “If we hadn’t done this project we wouldn’t have been talking about Wal-Mart or of any of these (new) businesses.

Susan Walters-Steinacker, 52, who considers herself a local government watchdog, had been caring for three young children at her home. Walters-Steinacker was sentenced Tliesday by Judge Carol Sue Reader to six months on probation. She was ordered to serve 10 days of community service and assessed fines, court costs and a probationary fee. She will be released from probation early if she becomes licensed, according to a court spokeswoman. Walters-Steinacker pleaded guilty in April to the misdemeanor charge of operating an unlicensed day care business. Brighton Police investigated, saying she continued to offer day care servicfes from her home without proper state registration after being notified she must discontinue the practice or become certified. According to state regulations, those operating a child or adult day care business in their home for more than four weeks out of the year must be licensed. IN BRIEF B r ig h t o n 3 charged in graffiti incidents Three people have been charged in connection with graffiti incidents that caused thousands of dollars in damage in downtown Brighton. The latest arrested are an 18-year old Brighton woman and an 18- year old Lansing man. Police Chief Tom Wightman says the pair are accused of spray-painting three downtown buildings with the likeness of a rat and various words. The woman is charged with three misdemeanor counts of malicious destruction of property between $200 and $1,000, and her alleged accomplice faces a charge of one count of malicious destruction. Earlier, a 24-year-old Brighton Township man was arrested and charged with three felony counts of malicious destruction of property over $1,000 and one misdemeanor count. Several buildings, including three newer ones, were spraypainted. Wightman says police believe the two incidents are not related and he does not expect any further arrests. H a m b u r g T o w n s h ip House OKs funds for flooding study Legislation introduced by Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, and approved by the House in April will allocate $500,000 to study flooding problems in the Ore Lake area of the Huron River Watershed in Hamburg Township. Rogers originally requested federal assistance for the study in 2005, after hundreds of homes were damaged by fiooding in May 2004 and January 2005. It was passed by the House then, but the Senate failed to take up the measure, he said. “The flooding caused extensive property damage and put area residents at risk,” Rogers said. The study would analyze the watershed and identify obstructions and other problems that would cause floo^ g. The study also would suggest ways to improve the flow of the watershed. Fire department gets FEMA grant The Hamburg Township Fire Department has been awarded a $98,700 Federal Emergency Management Agency Assistance to Firefighters Grant that will allow it to purchase and install a vehicle exhaust extraction system for Station No. 11, 3666 E. M-36. The department is required to provide about $9,800 in matching funds for the project. Tliat money will come from the department’s special projects budget line, said Fire Chief Doug Berry. The system will expel exhaust f ^ e s from running vehicles inside the station and make the air and environment safer for firefighters. Berry said. G e n o a T o w n s h ip Kensington students raise walk funds Twenty-five Kensington Woods High School students raised more than $1,000 for the March of Dimes’ Walk America fundraiser at Kensington Metropark. Students began organizing their participation in Walk America after a talk was given at the school by March of Dimes Director Pamala Levin several weeks before the walk Levin reviewed the mission of the organization, which is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infent mortality. H o w e l l McPherson house sale to be studied The City Council approved the creation of an ad hoc committee to study factors affecting any potential sale of the home at 915 N. Michigan Ave., known as the McPherson Mansion. The committee, which will include members of the community and city officials, will look at the property to determine what, if anything, the city can do to facilitate a sale of the 1915 structure before it suffers further neglect. The committee will also provide talking points to council members, who have yet to agree that city intervention is appropriate. A timetable for the process has yet to be set. Board mulls new rules on cell phones Howell school trustees are considering the changing face of technology as they make revisions to the district’s Student Code of Conduct. While the district allows cell phones, they do not allow them in classrooms. Of particular concern, officials said Monday, is the capability of most cell phones to take pictures and video, which they said is inappropriate. Superintendent Chuck Breiner said he wants to find a way for the district to keep disruptive practices out of the classroom while allowing students to use technology to enhance their education. For example, the new Parker campus w^l have a cyber cafe that will allow wireless transmissions including downloadable information as part of student learning, he said. At one time, student phones were not allowed, but since the Columbine shootings officials have allowed them on site in a limited capacity. It was recommended Monday that Howell High School Principal Bill Smith and a group of students meet with Deputy Superintendent Lynn Parrish to discuss technology as they make changes to the code. P in c k n e y School athletic fees to change Pay-to-participate fees are going up for some athletes and down for others in Pinckney Commimity Schools next year. The school board recently approved a proposal from the schools’ Athletic Advisory Committee reducing fees for middle school athletes from $150 per sport to $100 per sport in 2007-08, but raising fees for high school students fiDm $150 per sport to $175. A family cap of $600 per family per year also was approved. “The cap allows femilies with multiple students to participate in possibly two or three sports a year eifter at the middle or high school level at a lower cost,” said Linda Moskalik, assistant superintendent for finance and operations. “With the current costs, a family with two high school students playing three sports would be $900.” Ten dollars of the high school increase will provide scholarships for families of athletes who need financial help to participate, Moskalik said. It is also hoped the reduced fee for middle school students will encourage more to participate, she said. Meeting to detail S. Howell St. work A public meeting to discuss this summer’s repair and improvement of South Howell Street in Pinckney is TXiesday from 4 to 6 p.m. at Village Hall, 220 S. Howell St. Those attending will be updated and have the opportunity to have questions answered by village officials and engineers. Work on South Howell Street fix)m M-36 south to the village limits is set to begin in early Jime, right after downtown Pinclmey’s annual Art in the Park festival. The $596,000 project is being paid for by state and federal fimds, including a $119,000 grant from Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s Local Jobs Today program. Along with paving and widening the road south of Mower Road, the approximately three-block project includes new storm sewers curbs, gutters, sidewalks, guardrails and streetlights. Work is expected to be completed by the end of July.

Tbesday at 4 p.m. was the filing deadline in both communities. The list of candidates is unofficial until certified by city clerks. Also to be voted on this year in Howell will be the mayor’s seat and one Board of Review position. The mayor’s position in Howell is decided directly by the voters, whereas in Brighton, council appoints a mayor every two years from among its members. Howell Mayor Geri Moen is seeking re-election, and will be challenged by Jim SmuUen of 210 George St. Neither could ^ be reached for comment. W Three incumbents on the Howell City Coimcil whose terms expire this year are running, and are being challenged by two others. Incumbents are Mayor Pro Tern Steve Manor, 'Ibm Malloy, ^ appointed last December upon the resignation of Sue Dolato; and Scott Patton, named to replace Don Miller. Challengers are Matthew Wilson of 209 Sibley St. and Victoria Hertrich of 603 W Washington St. Hertrich, 53, is a former Howell Police dispatcher. It’s the first time she has run for political office. Hertrich says she doesn’t like the way things are nui on council. “I don’t think the people in charge are going in the right direction,” she says. “I want to help bring what the people and business owners are thinking forward.” Wilson could not be reached for comment. Robert Wines is the lone candidate for a single vacancy on the Howell Board of Review. In Brighton, Cily Council candidates include incumbents John Tlmis and Claudia Roblee and challengers Chad Cooper and Jim Bohn. Roblee was appointed in February following a resignation. 'IWo incumbents are not running, including Mayor Steve Monet, who has cited added responsibilities in his job as safely manager for state government employees. Also not seeking re-election is Jon Stoppels, who has served 16 years - longer than any other person currently on coimcil. Stoppels has said he wants to spend more time with his family. Although Bohn, 53, was involved in a recent condominium owners dispute with the city and a developer, he stresses he would represent all city residents and not just one faction. C i t y C o u n c i l f i l i n g s Brighton Three 4-year terms and one 2-year term are open on the city council. Filing this week to run for council are: Incumbents John Tunis and Claudia Roblee and Chad Cooper and James Bohn. Howell Four posts, including a 2- year term for mayor and three 4-year terms for council member are open this year. Filing this week to run are; For Mayor: Incumbent Geri Moen and challenger Jim Smullen. For Council: Incumbents Steve Manor, Tom Malloy and Scott Patton and challengers Matthew Wilson and Victoria Hertrich. “Every time a vote is taken,” Bohn says, “the question needs to be asked how does this decision affect residents in the city of Brighton, whether they own a home or business, or live in a home, or a condo, or rent.” Cooper, 34, says, overall, council has done a good job but he disagrees with a recent decision to raise the height limit of downtown buildings to 50 feet. “I don’t want to restrict growth, but there are other things the council can do, rather than (build taller buildings),” he says. In Brighton, the top three vote-getters are elected to fouryear terms and the fourth person gets a two-year term. There will not be a primary for either the Howell or Brighton election.

The change removes integrated studies classes and leaves in place four core courses and two elective courses for middle school students. Although the district has cut $8.4 million from its budget in the last four years, this would be one of the most visible cuts made to date. Breiner said affected teachers could be placed in other positions depending on the results of an early buyout program the district plans to offer. “We have now hit a financial wall,” Breiner told the school board Monday. “When we’re talking about people’s livelihoods, this becomes something we need to look carefully at. We bring this to you with a heavy heart.” Board secretary Jeannine Pratt said she was disappointed that the district has to consider the change. “I think it’s been a successful program,” she said, “but I understand the cuts are necessary.” The Howell school district operates two middle schools: Highlander Way in Howell and Three Fires in Genoa Township. HoweU school officials are looking at all options as they face $2.5 million in cuts in the coming fiscal year, which would bring the cuts taken over the last five years $10.9 million. The district could lose the remainder of its fund equity this year if the state takes back $122 per pupil in the coming weeks to balance the budget, officials have said. “We are up against it,” Breiner told the board. “In a downturned economy, our schools are ailing; they are on the brink.” A budget forum was scheduled this week, in which the board was expected to ask the public for suggestions and consider that list when putting together a new fiscal budget. The board is expected to consider the middle school schedule change at its meeting Monday. Casey Hans can be reached at chans® livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2005.

The two-day event is designed to reach all age groups, according to Mindy Arnold, Howell’s Main Street manager. As part of the promotions committee for the Main Street Program and Howell Dovmtown Development Authority, she helped to organize the event, now in it’s fifth year. “We want to get people moving around outside ... to get them downtown,” she said. “We want to bring awareness to the community and foster an appreciation for revitalization efforts.” The biggest and most publicized revitalization is the work going into the building that houses The Opera House on the southeast corner of Grand River Avenue and Walnut Street. Visitors can tour the newly renovated first floor Saturday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Entrance to the “showcase of arts and culture” is free, as is the ability to roam freely among $420,000 in first floor improvements. Visitors can browse Howell Depot Museum during a Saturday open house running 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday hours are 10 a.m. -4 p.m. Model trains, local artifacts, and vintage clothing will be on display. Members of the Howell Main Street program and DDA’s Design Committee will lead walking tours through downtown Saturday and Sunday, focusing on historic commercials buildings, distinct architecture, and local history. Discussion on the tours, will likely include recognition of several buildings that were just honored for their architecture and historic preservation efforts. Tours will start outside at Cobb-Hall Insurance, 223 W Grand River Ave., and begin promptly at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. For younger event-goers, free Victorian carriage rides will run 1-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the parking lot behind First National Bank, 101 E. Grand River Ave. The free Saturday old-fashioned ice cream social also will run 2-4 p.m. on the Howell Carnegie District Library lawn. Children’s games and juggling performances will be included. The weekend, sponsored by more than 20 downtown businesses, features several other activities including: ■ Round-trip train rides to Byron. ■ A hunt for Howell history. ■ The second annual Monson- Yack Memorial Skate Competition. ■ An outdoor concert. ■ Sunday Farmer’s Market. ■ Guided courthouse tours. “I think it is important to reconnect with the past of the community so you build from it,” said Brent Earl, president of the Livingston Arts Council, which owns The Opera House building, in support of this weekend’s events. “So many people have moved in from out of the area that it is important (for them to come) to learn about the community in which they live.” Laurie Humphrey can be reached at Ihumphrey® livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2003. 1838343-04 - S P E C IA L I N V I T A T IO N - C O N C O R D IA U N IV E R S IT Y P IA N O S A L E To: Alumni, Faculty Staff & Friends of Concordia University Re: Piano Sale - Concordia University Music Department From: Dr. Carolyn Lipp, Professor of Music What: Numerous pianos from Yamaha Corporation of America that have been on loan will be available for purchase along with other new & previously owned models.

The Tyrone Township resident began reaching out to the community alongside her parents at 10, but Lee credits her sister for motivating her. “She was involved with a lot of clubs (that did volunteer work.) She would come home and tell me about what they did and 1 thought, ‘That was so cool,’” said Lee, who is active in many of the clubs her sister held dear. Says her dad, “We never really sat down and said you need to do this, this and this. They (Chelsea and Meghan) just watched it (our community outreach.) They’ve been exposed to it since they were 2 years old.” Chelsea Lee’s favorite volunteer opportunity comes each summer, through Key Development Services. Similar to Big Brothers-Big Sisters, a group of hand-picked high school students visit two local mobile home parks, one in Brighton and one in Howell, reaching out to children in families susceptible to drug and alcohol abuse. Although the program is designed for children 7 through 14, Chelsea welcomes all children. On one of her first visits to a park in Howell, she found a 3-year-old girl “in the street, eating rocks.” Lee brought her into the group, as well as many others in need of friendship. “I never realized there was such a problem with poverty in Livingston County,” she said. As she prepares for her third summer in the mentoring program, she admits her downtime looks minimal, but focuses on the greater good. “Especially for this group, it’s really important for continuity in their lives,” she said. Dan Nolen, program facilitator for Key Development, says Lee “focuses her complete attention on these children. You can tell she really cares about them and that is why she is doing it.” As a Special Olympics vol- F IT ZG E R A L D F R O M A1 Many ways others are involved in their communities overall winner, three finalists - whose stories appear on Page B1 - will receive $250 scholarships from The News. Those finalists are Brighton High senior Elizabeth Britt, Pinckney High senior Robert Koke and Brighton High junior Jake Price. Lee was nominated by one of her middle school teachers who said it was “refreshing to see a high school senior with so many outside interests take the time and give back to the community.” That’s exactly the type of young person we were looking for when we established the Young Citizen award. It is patterned after the Citizen of the Year award announced earlier this year. It’s our belief that community service is not just something for those who are so well established in their careers that they can afford the time to give back to the community. Giving back to the places where we live and work is a responsibility all of us share. There is no minimum age requirement for community service. You can se e that in Chelsea Lee’s story and you can see it elsewhere in the pages of this week’s Livingston Community News. Lee’s parents Dan and Terry Lee and her older sister Meghan all helped to instill in her the desire to help others. She got a closeup look at what community service is all about through her parents, who are both public service professionals and have always been involved in the community where they live. There’s an important le sson there for all parents: Model the type of behavior you would like to see in your children. They’re more likely to do as you do more than do as you say. Other stories in this week’s edition show the many ways others are involved in the community. There’s the story on Page A5 about a group of elementary school students who planted flowers at a prominent community intersection. There’s the story on Page A9 about volunteers who bring farm life to suburban kids during the annual Rural Education Day experience. There’s the story on Page B4 about the local sculptor who is giving his artwork to the community to benefit the local food pantry. All of those stories are a reflection of our commitment as a newspaper to you, our readers, as we mark our fourth anniversary in the community. When we launched this project in May of 2003, we said we wanted to create a newspaper “Where your news is our news.” We put that commitment on our front page, where it still appears each week. That commitment is stronger than ever and we look forward to moving ahead, teaming up with each one of you to share the triumphs and tragedies of community life in Livingston County.

A R S E N IC F RO M A1 Exposure over long term can cause health problems pending standards. “Back in 2003-2004, if the levels were elevated, we made them fix (reduce) it.” Jim Coe, territory manager of Clearwater Systems-Kinetico dealerships in Green Oak and Hartland townships, estimates that the sale of arsenic removal services have increased at least 30 percent over the past couple of years because of the new standard. He says the most effective fix - and also the cheapest - is to install a reverse osmosis system at the point of use (for example, the totchen sink) for $400 to $1,400. The systems, ranging in options as much as price, require a filter. Top-end filters, costing about $180, last a few years and indicate when they need to be changed. A whole-house system also is available for people concerned about bathing in water with arsenic. Those systems run $1,450 to $4,500, and contain chemicals to break down the impurities. Researchers continue to study the effects of long-term exposure to arsenic. While results have been inconclusive, Bolang says “there is evidence to lower the threshold. We’ll have a clearer picture in years to come, but for now, there is enough standard out there to reduce the level to W a t e r t e s t i n g Testing can be obtained by contacting the following groups: ■ Livingston County Department of Public Health-517-546-9858. ■ Water Tech, Howell - 517-548-2505. ■ In-House Water Lab, Howell - 517-548-7363. ■ Brighton Analytical, Genoa Township - 810- 229-7575. where it is,” he said. He added that homeowners exposed to arsenic through bathing or teeth brushing should not be concerned. His worry is for people who drink years’ worth of tap water contaminated with arsenic. Such exposure is believed to cause cancer, darkening and thickening of the skin, numbness in feet and hands, anemia and cardiovascular changes. Shorter- term symptoms include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. “One glass of water with elevated arsenic is not going to make anyone sick,” he stressed. “It’s the long-term exposure. Home builder Julie Fielek has complied with all of the new regulations, “because it is the standard,” but cautions people against becoming alarmed in the face of all the recent publicity. Arsenic “has been around forever,” she said, but the level considered safe has lowered. New regulations require developers to advise potential home buyers of high arsenic levels through the master deed. “It has been put in quite a few master deeds,” admitted Bolang, “because it is very common in Livingston County and throughout southeastern Michigan.” To pinpoint local areas of high concentration is impossible, he said. “You can’t predict if you’re going to have arsenic in the ground based on your neighbor.” He also pointed out that the eastern portion of the county appears to have a bigger problem, but only because it is more populated. “That is where (much of) the sampling has been done.” He also said depth does not affect saturation, “otherwise we would permit wells differently. The best approach is to sample everything.” Arsenic tests cost about $20. Fielek also encourages people to test their own water supplies. “If the home isn’t recently new (built within two years), they may want to have the house tested ... if they’re interested,” she said, stressing that she is unaware of anyone who has been poisoned from arsenic. She pointed out that she’s been drinking water from an untested well for 22 years. Clearwater Systems offers free testing, but does not have a certified lab, said Coe. That means “homeowners will get an idea of whether or not there could be a problem,” but the test results cannot satisfy regulatory purposes for the county. Despite the potential risks for people who sip from a contominated well for an extended time, “we will still approve site plans (for new developments) because it can be managed,” Bolang said. He warned, however, that it is up to homeowners to conduct regular testing for arsenic, as well as bacteria and nitrates. He pointed out that homes connected to municipal water lines have thenwater tested periodically at treatment facihties.

During her time as Hartland Township clerk, 'Terry Lee helped with a cemetery cleanup, clearing brush and pulling weeds. “Chelsea was in the fourth or fifth grade, and said she wanted to come.” When Terry Lee moved over to 'lyrone Township, her daughter came, too, offering clerical support that included envelopestuffing and filing. “She also worked the elections and helped with thentownship cleanup day,” said Terry Lee, about her daughter, then a high school freshman. Most recently, Chelsea Lee has helped her mom, now in the Livingston County Human Resources Department, sort mail, update spreadsheets and draft memos, all in the name of volunteerism.“It is refi:-eshing to see a high school senior with so many outside interests take the time and give back to the community,” said Cathy Peck, an Ore Creek Middle School teacher who nominated Lee for the award. As a former district high school teacher, and neighbor to Lee, Peck knows the nominee, and is “impressed” by the extent of her commitment. Summer vacation has yet to start, and Lee’s calendar already is full. In addition to her commitment to Key Development, she will work as a nanny three days a week, organize a fundraiser for the school’s German Club, intern in Lansing and work as a personal assistant to a motivational speaker. Lee recognizes that her schedule does not allow her the freedom of a typical teenager, but she has no regrets. “It’s something I know I’m going to cany into the future.

Supervisor Cindy Pine and TY-ustees Pat Hohl and George Majoros voted no, but the re- .maining four board members on TYiesday voted for the final site plan for a potential 16,000-square-foot lire station with five truck bays and dormitories on East M-36. Next, the townsfiip will accept bids from contractors interested in building the facility in the eastern part of the township. A special meeting to open these bids is set for 3:15 p.m. June 7 at Township Hall, 10405 Merrill Ptoad. Approximately 22 contractors sent in pre-qualification packets to the township expressing an interest in constructing the fire station. That adds to the contention expressed by Clerk Joanna Hardesty, Treasurer Roberta Balon-Vaughn and trustees Mike Bitondo and Chuck Menzies that the township is wise to take advantage of a slow building market and see what kind of bids it can get for a larger station.

The bare flower bed beneath the Hamburg Township sign at the local landmark called “Kiwanis Comer” was transformed by Tom Carr’s Hamburg Elementaiy School students on May 11. “It’s a good thing to do,” said 10-year-old Brianna Vaughn. “It helps make the comer look nice, and we can watch how wonderful the flowers grow.” Hamburg Elementary students have been planting flowers at the comer for about 20 years, said Carl Welser, Hamburg Kiwanis Club president. “Everyone seems to be glad to see an idle piece of land put to good use,” he said. The corner was an eyesore in the mid-1980s when it was commandeered by the newly formed Hamburg Kiwanis Club, Welser said. The spot had been used as a gravel quarry for a road project at the W.J. Maxey Boys Training School in Green Oak Township. “The quarry hole had become quite a mess - lots of trash and metallic junk had been thrown into it,” Welser said. The Kiwanis leveled the spot, erected the sign and a flagpole and put in some of the decorative stones and plantings that remain today. The club also buys the flowers that the students plant every spring. “They get very excited about this,” said Carr, who takes a group picture at the site each year for his classroom. “We try to go to Daily Queen afterv/ard for ice cream cones. We lik:e to make it a fun day.” Carr’s class receives the money for the flowers at a regular Kiwanis breakfast meetring. “It’s good for them to see how the meeting goes and see what this group does as community service,” Carr said. The partnership in this project also is welcomed by the Kiwanis, said Bob Piatit, a member who watched as the students worked. “It’s nice to see the children giving of themselves for their community,” Piatt said. “It’s good citizenship.” When they were finisht!d planting, the students had a fe w minutes to look over their job before heading back to school . “We did good,” said 10-yeai’- old Angela Monaster. “Now th<; sun can come out and make the; flowers grow.” BID NOTICE LIVINGSTON COUNTY Livingston County will receive sealed proposals for Consultant Services for an Organizational, Effectiveness and Efficiency Study of the Emergency Medical Services Department.

Pine, Hohl and Majoros, however, are sticking to their position that the size and scope of the station has expanded dramatically since voters approved a $3.5 million bond issue last August to build it. They said the building has gone from being a cost-contained 10,000- square-foot satellite station to a main station that will use every penny of the bond. The board-approved final site plan allows one truck bay, a mezzanine and the dormitories to be deducted if costs come in higher than the board likes. That would reduce the size of the station to about 13,000 square feet. Hamburg’s Planning Commission gave its unanimous approval to the final site plan May 2. Commissioner Simon Ren was absent from that meeting. The new station will replace Station No. 12, a 1,000- square-foot garage built in 1948 on Stone Street in the old village.

The rustic stone exterior - typical of buildings in the Italian countryside - and an interior accented by Italian imports - make the dining experience a tribute to the restaurant’s Italian inspiration. “We can’t wait to get started,” said general manager Meghan Penny. “The community has obviously been waiting for us. They’ve been wonderful.” With a week remaining before the opening, hiring of the restaurant’s 165 employees was completed and training about to begin. Penny said during a recent interview. The 7,399 square-foot restaurant will seat 247, she said. As with all Olive Gardens built since February, 2000, it features Tuscan-style exposed wood beams, stone and wood accents throughout, terra cotta tile and fabrics created exclusively for Olive Garden. Hand-painted plates adorning rustic stone and stucco walls are not for sale. “They are made in Italy, just for Olive Garden,” Penny said.

Work is set to begin any day to morph the former Cap- N-Cork at East Main Street and Grand River Avenue into the new home of Rottermond Jewelers. It’s scheduled for completion by October. Owner Dean Rottermond completed the purchase of the building May 1 and plans to move his business from its cramped quarters at 109 E. Grand River Ave. into a building nearly four times the size just a couple of doors away. The Cap-N-Cork party store closed its doors for good, allowing the changeover. COURTESY, ROTTERMOND JEW EL ER S An artist's rendering shows the new look of the Rottermond Jewelers building that will be on the southeast corner of Grand River Avenue and Main Street in downtown Brighton, where the Cap-N-Cork party store once stood. The building is scheduled for completion by October. Rottermond, who bought the building from owner Jack Conely, plans on totally renovating the interior and exterior. “It will be a complete remodel,” Rottermond says. Crews will leave only the shell, while redoing the interior and giving the building a classy, new exterior. The first floor of the store is 1,700 square feet, and the second is 600 square feet, giving 2,300 square feet of retail and office space. The dirt-floor basement will be finished and made into 1,100 square feet of storage space. The new store will give Rottermond 114 feet Premier Farms project is revived S t a l l e d f o r 6 y e a r s , r e s id e n t i a l v e n t u r e n o w b a c k o n t r a c k BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News Staff Reporter Marion Township trustees have breathed new life into a six-year-old plan calling for more than 2,000 housing units surrounding the Cedar River, where the Norton, Pingree and Cedar lakes conjoin. Approving the action item for the new Premier Farms concept was quick, though the steps to win approval for the new plan were not, according to Mark Janeck, a representative for the Illinois-based landholders. “It took us almost nine months to get here,” said Janeck, president of an Illinois land developing and zoning company. He expects another 18 months before construction begins on the biggest housing development to hit Marion Township. Land owners Bill and Peter Anest won conceptual plan approval for the 1,153-acre planned unit development in 2001, though failed to act. Since the township did not have a sunset clause, the conceptual plan remained valid, allowing them to reapproach the township in 2006 without the need for a new application and additional fees. It wasn’t until the pair produced an amended conceptual plan, featuring a centralized 150- acre open space area and 80 more residential units, that the township had to take additional action. “What we (had) to determine is whether the conceptual plan as presented (was) in compliance with the previously approved conceptual plan,” said Supervisor Bob Hanvey. Finding “substantial consistency” between the two, the plan can move forward for preliminary review. According to Janeck, his clients delayed action on the project in 2001 because financing negotiations with select builders fell through. Now in their 70s, the Anests “are looking to the future” despite the declining market.” The Anests “expect the market to cycle back,” he said. “They have to prepare for the next round ... positive development.” The development, which is expected to be completed within eight to 10 years of ground breaking, will consist of 995 single-family homes, 528 townhouses, 352 condominiums and 208 age-restricted condominiums. The site, which offers enough room for 2,300 housing units under township zoning ordinances, also will house some commercial development and possibly a school. Because of its size, Janeck said the project will go up in phasqs. “It’s not going to be developed all at one time,” he said. He added that the first step is identifying a market. “We’re not just going to come in and do spec houses.” According to Marion Township 'Trustee Dave Hamann, who also sits on the Planning Commission, residents have kept an eye on the project over the years, though fewer show up to voice concerns and ask questions. There was no discussion before last week’s board approval. He said he believes residents have come to realize that although they “want it rural, the people who own the land have a right to use their land.” » I WE SPECIALIZE IN PERSONAL SERVICE P R E S C R IP T IO N S A R E F IL L ED QUICKLY & ACCURATELY S e n i o r C i t i z e n s D i s c o u n t s D i a b e t i c S u p p l i e s M o s t I n s u r a n c e P l a n s A c c e p t e d Low P r e s c r i p t i o n P r i c e s S Pharmacy Y o u r C o m p l e t e P r e s c r i p t i o n H e a d q u a r t e r s For this week's sales & grocery items, visit www.vgsfood.com FENTON 18005 Silver Parkway (8 1 0 )7 5 0 -1 5 7 2 BRIGHTON 9870 E.

A projecting clock, visible from two directions, will add a decorative flair. Rottermond is spending more than $1 million for the combined building purchase and remodeling. “We’re making a major investment,” he says. Rottermond opened his Brighton store four years ago as a companion to his Milford location. He says the new store will put his Brighton operation on an equal footing with the original store. “We’re very excited to be a major presence in the center of downtown Brighton,” he says. Rottermond is the exclusive dealer in the area for Rolex watches. Hearts on Fire diamonds and 'tycoon Cut diamonds. Dick Harris had leased the building from Conely and retains ownership of the Cap- N-Cork party store business, which he might relocate. “We’re in negotiations on a new location; there’s a couple of locations available here,” he says. The party store was in business 37 years under the same name and at the same location, owned first by Corlty and Cappy Moon - thus the name - and later by Harris, who has had it for 25 years. He has placed the liquor license in escrow until he decides his future plans. Tom Tolen can be reached a t ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or a t 810-844-2009.

Students in grades 8-12 who take college-level courses at LCC beyond the regular school day would be able to apply for a 20 percent reduction in tuition costs, said Superintendent Chuck Breiner. For example, he said, a typical four-creffit class at LCC costs $500; under the plan, students could apply for $100 in tuition deferral. The plan was discussed Monday night as officials prepare to move Howell High School to the new Parker High School campus starting this fall, while the current high school is renovated. It is unclear when the district will be able to open both high schools, officials have said, because of the uncertainty of state operating funding. LCC will rent a wing at the new Parker High School campus starting this fall, moving its Livingston campus to Parker from its current site on County Road D-19 just south of 1-96. Although not yet contractually approved, LCC is scheduled to pay the district $65,000 per year in rent, plus another $5,000 due to the dual-enrollment proposal, according to Marybeth Roose, director of community education and communications. Meanwhile, as Howell High School staff packs up for the move, final touches are being put on the new campus. Water lines, the final utility hookup, have been completed but Breiner said Monday that hydrants must be hooked up before water can be turned on at the building and that could take another month. School officials and some 100 people toured the high school last week when the school board met at the building. “The fact that this building is up and on time and ... on budget is a credit to this community,” Breiner said Monday. Trustee Wendy Day said Monday she was excited about the new building, adding that “the students are really excited, too.” School officials said Monday that they have set a Sept. 9 date to dedicate the Parker building. Over the past few weeks, the school board has approved necessary purchases for the new high school with money taken from the voterapproved 2003 bond issue. Also approved Monday was a partnership agreement between the Howell Public Schools and LOG Federal Credit Union, which will have a full-service branch at the school operated by students. “These partnerships are a different kind of concept,” said Associate Superintendent for Finance Rick Terres. “We expect these businesses to fuse with our curriculum. The (students) are going to actually learn how to run a branch.” National City Bank has shown an interest in doing a similar project at Howell High School.

Sydney Ostafin, a third-grader at Hutchings Elementary School, enjoys feeding a donkey during her Rural Education Day farm visit. It's where third-graders have a lot of fun while learning about rural life BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Kelsey Law never knew there was so much to see and do on the farm. “All they do on the other farms I’ve been to is ride horses,” said the 8-year-old third-grader from Howell’s Southwest Elementary School. On Jean Wylie-Abbe’s 30-acre Howell Township farm, Kelsey and about 600 other third-graders from Brighton, Howell, Hartland and Pinckney got to see how horses are shoed, how bees make honey, how a dog herds sheep, how a garden grows and the way pigs, cattle, horses, rabbits, chickens, goats and sheep sound, feel and smell. It’s all part of the Livingston County Farm Bureau’s Project RED - Rural Education Day. The annual event, hosted by Wylie-Abbe for the past five years, teaches children all about farm life, and some of the lessons are even taught by kids in the county 4-H program. “It’s a good day out,” said Wylie-Abbe. “Doing this is really fun for me. I love to see the kids outside running around and feeling the animals and learning how they work.” There was so much going on that youngsters had a hard time picking a favorite activity. Kelsey finally decided she liked watching sheep being sheared and getting to take home a little bag of wool best. “The fur is cushiony,” she said. “I can’t wait to show my mom.” The Farm Bureau organizes Project RED to teach kids the way rural Livingston County once was. When Wylie-Abbe went to school in Hartland in the 1950s, almost everyone in her class milked cows. Not so for Kelsey and her classmates, as farmland continues to be turned into residential and commercial development. “Our agricultural population is dwindling, but agriculture is still alive and well and in Livingston County,” said Deb Holmes, Livingston County Farm Bureau administrative manager. “We hope this program will help keep it alive.” This is the third year Kelsey’s teacher, Christie LaCour, has brought students to Project RED. “It’s such a different experience than where we normally take them on field trips,” LaCour said. “It’s a good down-home experience, and every year it’s just wonderful.” Kids at Project RED have a lot of fun seeing and touching all the animals, but the parents who accompany them as school chaperones have a good time, too, said Karl Smathers, whose daughter Chelsea is an 8-year-old third-grader at Howell’s Hutchings Elementary School. “It’s great for kids who aren’t exposed to country life to see how everything from their food to their clothing is produced. I think it gives them new respect for the things they just go to the store and buy.” Handy Township farmer Bob Merry had never brought an animal to Project RED before this year. Heckimer, his miniature donkey with the big personality, was a big hit with the students. “Just seeing them having fun with the animals is the greatest,” Merry said.

BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Wanting to give back to the community is something that has been on Elizabeth Britt’s mind since she first began attending Sunday school. The 18-year-old senior at Brighton High School says it was when she joined the youth group in eighth grade at First Presbyterian Church of Brighton that she felt like she could really start making a contribution. “I was thankful for what I had and realized how fortunate I was to be able to help others,” says Britt. “I liked the people and the fellowship at church, and I liked that it was a safe place to go.” Britt has been part of the youth group’s mission trips every summer to poverty-stricken areas in Kentuclg^, Indiana and Ohio. “It’s a solid week of volunteering in a community where they actually make changes in people’s lives,” says Judy Britt, Elizabeth’s mom. “Elizabeth has always been very appreciative of living in this area and all the opportunities there are for kids. 'The mission trips have broadened her understanding of people and what they go through.” Britt also has been involved with the World Hunger Rmd and has participated in food drives for Gleaners Community Food Bank. She donated nearly a foot of her hair last summer to Children With Hair Loss Inc. She is a cheerleader and softball player at Brighton High School, and participates in a variety of activities. She helped to organize a voter registration drive for eligible students at the high school. “In and out of the classroom, Elizabeth proved to be a model student,” says Brighton High School Close Up government teacher Susan Howard. “She always displayed a positive attitude, dependability and a mature and caring personality.” Elizabeth has taken care of Jonna and Michael McMahon’s three daughters for the last sk years. The couple agrees that she is a wonderful role model to their daughters. Elizabeth says, “I just like doing things to help other people.” Lisa Carolin can be reached at lcarolin@ livingstoncommunitynew5.com or at 810-844-2010.

You can exist or you can live,”’ said Koke, 18, who graduates from Pinckney High this year. “I got involved. If I hadn’t. I’d have just been existing.” Hailed as a true leader by students, teachers and administrators, one way Koke has gotten involved is by showing his peers they can do more than just go to school. “Getting involved in the community shows that you are a part of the community,” Koke said. “It shows that we care and want to reach out and help others.” Koke has organized student teams for Livingston County’s S E E KOKE, 82 R o b e r t K o k e Age: 18.

B2 T H E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N IT Y N E W S F R ID A Y , M A Y 18, 2 0 0 7 K O K E FROM B1 Involvement urged for all American Cancer Society Relay For Life and encouraged student participation in American Fled Cross blood drives and the Empty Bowls Dinner, a Pinckney area fundraiser that nets more than $10,000 a year for Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston. “I just like helping," he said. “If the leaders of the school don’t do anything, then no one will.” The American Cancer Society’s dedication to research that hopes to find a cure for cancer is very important to Koke. “We’ve all gone to school with kids and teachers who’ve had cancer,” he said. “This is an amazing cause, no matter what your age is.” A moment that stands out in Koke’s life happened in second grade when a high school student came to read to his class. As part of Pinckney’s leadership class, he fostered Read to Lead, a program that took his peers to Pinckney Elementary School with books and activities on leadership skills. "Tve known Bobby since elementary school,” said Pinckney Elementary Principal Yvonne Taylor. “He’s been a leader all along. When you look at him, you have great confidence in the future because there are guys like him around.” Koke credits his sister Becca, 20, a University of Michigan student and former Pinckney High leader, for pushing him to make a difference. Mary Picucci, Pinckney High’s student government adviser, said Koke is the “dream kid all teachers wait for to come along." “When he joins something, he joins it full force,” Picucci said. “Other kids respect him because he’s genuine and they know when he does something, he does it right.” His abilities are no surprise to Koke’s mother, Kathy Koke, who said by fourth grade she was telling her son, “Instead of a lunch box. Mom needs to get you a briefcase.” “You only get to live once,” Koke said. “You might as well take it all on.” COMMUNITY SCRAPBOOK P R I C E FROM B1 A big desire to give back tion from making people happy,” he said. Price’s biggest contribution has been through the youth group at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Brighton. “He’s fantastic, he’s just a very generous, giving person and is a hard worker and is an excellent student,” Goode said. Last summer Price was involved in the Young Neighbors in Action program through the parish, interacting with the Cass Community Social Services organization. He worked at a day care center, pulled weeds at the playground and built a shed. He Sso helped people with special needs and made sandwiches at a soup kitchen. Price will be involved for the third year this summer. A big share of his community service involves volunteer work every other week at the Village at Woodland retirement community. where he has been the student project coordinator for the past two years. Price plans events with residents, playing board games, cards and chess, among other activities. “He has the biggest, kindest heart,” said Shawn lyrrell, adult coordinator of the Village at Woodland. “He’s very down to earth and (the residents) adore him.” Price is in charge of arranging transportation for the students who visit the Village at Woodland as well as organizing activities. Martha Goode, youth group leader at St. Patrick Church, praises Price as an example of the admirable qualities found in so many American teenagers. “He’s fmtastic,” Goode says. “He’s just a very generous, giving person.” Goode keeps track of the volunteer hours and estimates Price puts in 210 hours peryear, averaging about four hours a week. Price already has been recognized for his volunteer work, having won the Young Citizen Appreciation Award last year from the Brighton Optimist Club. “We couldn’t be prouder of him and his strong desire to give back to his community,” says his mother, Jackie Price.

LETTERS Optimist Club thanks firefighters The Brighton Optimist Club would like to thank the Brighton Area firefighters who contributed to and participated in our annual Youth Appreciation Day I on May 5. Twenty-two youth of our community were honored as outstanding individuals for a number of reasons. The Brighton Area Fire Authority treated the nominees with a fire truck ride . from Mount Brighton to their " fire station on Old US-23. After arrival, the firefighters cooked them and their families a delicious pancake and sausage breakfast. U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow was the keynote speaker and assisted in presenting letters of appreciation. Stabenow’s appearance was another highlight of the morning and we are grateful for her taking the time out of her busy schedule to participate in celebrating the outstanding young men and women. Our yearly event in honoring the youth of our community was a rousing success due to the Brighton Area Fire Authority, Sen. Stabenow and the Brighton Optimist Club committee members who worked so diligently in making this a special day. Again, a big thank you to all involved. Diane Dennis, Brighton Optimist Club Drop veal, milk, from your diet As we celebrated Mothe r ’s Day last weekend and the cherished bond between mother and child, my thoughts turned to dairy cows, worldwide symbols of motherhood, some of whom never even get to see their babies. The newborn calves are torn from their mothers at birth and chained by the neck in tiny wood crates. They are denied mother’s milk and love as well as natural food and water, fresh air and sunshine, straw bedding, or any movement. They suffer from chronic anemia, diarrhea, and respiratory disorders. The sick product of this misery, laced with saturated fat, cholesterol, antibiotics, and hormones, is sold in gourmet restaurants as veal. Because of consumers’ revulsion at these abuses, the infamous veal crates have been banned by the European Union. Yet the U.S. dairy and veal industries have resisted similar reforms. If we truly believe in motherhood, we should drop veal, milk, and other dairy products from our diet.

A plaque with the names donors of $1,000 or more will be attached to the base of “Steel,” which Genei says is a cityscape inspired by Brighton. “It was brought to my attention that the Gleaners needed help,” said the Brighton native. “Anything that my wife and I can do to help out people, especially children, is something we’re eager to participate in. There are more families in this area who need help from Gleaners than people realize.” The Community Foundation for Livingston County is providing a 50 percent match on gifts of $1,000 or more.

While some students will move on to new schools next year and others will be back next fall, five will remain in the Pinckney- area school forever. The images of kindergartner Gabriella Liddy, firstgrader Julia Sdao, secondgrader Joseph Salowitz and third-graders Sophie Peterson and Josh Mick are part of a mural painted May 8-9 on a school wall. “It’s very exciting,” said 6-year-old Julia. “I’m very, very, very happy. It’s a good honor for me and the picture gives our school a nice feeling.” The mural, painted by all of St. Mary’s 229 kindergarten through eighth-grade students, was made possible by a $3,000 grant from the charitable foundation of Target stores. Parent Christine Falinski wrote the grant application, and the grant was the school’s first, said Principal Suzanne Cowdrey. “It’s a legacy to our school that the students did themselves,” Cowdrey said. “They have a lot of pride in it. They can point to just what they painted and tell you it’s theirs.” The grant included instruction from Hamburg Township artist Katherine Larson, who spent three Livingston County artist Katherine Larson is helping students at St. Mary Catholic School paint a mural on one of the school's walls.The mural is being sponsored with a grant from Target stores.

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITV NEWS days at St. Mary teaching students about art and painting techniques, along with helping each child paint a portion of the mural. “I had a wonderful teacher as a child that made me decide to be an artist,” Larson said. “I’ve always wanted to be a teacher, so this is great.” Larson has painted 17 murals with schoolchildren throughout Michigan. “It’s fun to give them the experience of success in painting,” Larson said. “Painting can be especially daunting.” Larson sketched the images of the five students on the wall. They are kneeling at the feet of Jesus Christ in a meadow. The Bible verse, “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these,” from Mark 10:14, which is painted at the top, was chosen by the Rev. Ken Coughlin, who will be leaving the parish this summer. Students were entered into a drawing for the chance to be painted into the mural. “I was really surprised,” Joseph said. “I didn’t even know my name had been entered. This is awesome. It makes our school look nice.” The mural was a different take on St. Mary’s annual Art Day. Instead of trying a lot of different projects, this focused on one aspect of art. Gabble Red path, 12, is painting over Jesus' robe in the mural with white paint to add depth.

Anyone?! I’m disappointed in us all. Doesn’t anybody want to have fun anymore? My boss is always after me to find more regular folks, average Joes and Janes, to feature in the paper. More “weekend warriors,” people who work hard by day, 40 or 50 hours a week, and still go hard on the weekends. Marathoners. Bike racers. Hikers. Over-40 gym rats. Even golfers. If you’re out there with great stories to tell, give me a call. I haven’t found many of you yet. Active sports careers don’t have to end with graduation from high school. Yet too often they do. We all seem too busy to pursue the sports we love. In a perfect world, I’d love to play golf twice a week, basketball once a week and spend another day or two trying something different to stay in shape. Maybe running one week, playing softball the next. But this is the real world. With two children under 5 and a wife who works full-time. I’m IucIq^ to play golf once eveiy two weeks. It seems this is true for many of us. Maybe we’re too lazy in our old age. Maybe we’re too stuck in our ways to try something new. Maybe it’s the cx)st. But whatever the reason, some of the most interesting adult programs created by our local recreation departments aren’t getting off the ground. Attempts to start senior softball leagues by both the Southeast Livingston County Recreation Area and the Howell Parks & Recreation Departments have fallen apart in recent years. For two consecutive falls, SELCRA’s recreation supervisor, Jeff Muck, has pitched an adult flag football league on Saturday mornings. He even advertised starting it early enough for fans to get to their children’s games or home for their favorite college games on TV No one signed up. Following the lead of the growing popularity of kickball in Ann Ai^r, SELCRA wanted to host its own league last fall. Again, no one stepped up to the plate. I can imderstand why people might not want to play flag football. A 30-something can easily get hurt, pulling a hamstring or taking an accidental elbow to the face. But kickbalTs failure? No way. Who doesn’t have found memories of kicldjall? It wasn’t like dodgeball, where the weak and uncoordinated were preyed upon by the better athletes. Anyone could play kickball. Somebody has got to give kickball a chance next time it’s offered. Pinckney Community Recreation’s attempt to be creative in its adult programming also yielded little results. No one attended a high-ropes course at Innisfree Equestrian Center in Putnam Township last fall. At the top of the course, climbers can dismount using a zip line. I can vouch for how fun that is. I went ziptrekking in Whistler, British Columbia, last fall. Zooming 20 mph through the air is a thrill ride. Camp Innisfree doesn’t offer the mountain views, but I’m certain the rush of adrenaline is just as good. I’m not advocating that you sign up for any particular program. But do yourself a favor: Get off the couch and go have some active fun. You’ll be glad you did. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or a t 810-844-2012.

Tyle, 29, is always coaching, always prodding his athletes to be better. He is Livingston County’s only three-sport varsity coach.

Triathlete takes on new adventure TV cameras made Nevada race all the more challenging BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter S ince taking up triathlons in 2001, Heather McNamara has honed her skills on the bike, the trails and in the water with thousands of hours of training. But none of that could have prepared her for the unique challenges she faced in The Nevada Passage, a mix between an adventure race and an eco-challenge created to showcase the state of Nevada’s outdoor destinations. McNamara, 45, of Brighton Township, was one of the 20 competitors divided by their professions into 10 two-person, coed teams chosen to travel more than 1,000 miles through Nevada’s backcountry May 7- 12. The competition included running 10 kilometers through the desert, driving a dune buggy through sand dunes, cycling and backcountry skiing at Mount Rose near Reno. All the while, TV crews filmed her every move for a reality show and DVD expected to be released in August. “It was a lot of fun. I am glad I did it,” says McNamara. “I had a few regrets and things I might do fjra J d i-y ' I t m'saep ' ' Heather McNamara's competition in the Nevada outdoors will be part of a reality show and DVD to be released in August.

She and her partner, fellow physical therapist Dave Ruby, 47, of La Verne, Calif., finished in last place. “I realized when I got there I would not be competitive,” McNamara admits. McNamara says every competition came with a twist. On Day 1, during the lOK run through the Valley of Fire State Park, each team had to throw an atlatl, an ancient spear. McNamara says one man strapped a harness to his partner so she could keep up with him. McNamara’s team ended up eighth. “The pace was determined by the woman (in each group),” she says. “We did OK. We got passed right at the finish line. It was dramatic.” McNamara says things unraveled at the Amargosa Dunes, the site of the ATV race about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas. “I buried the back wheel pretty good (in a dune). They had to dig me out,” she recalls. “We were last. We never really recovered from that. We lost so many points.” The team fared well at a bike race just outside the mining town of Tonopah. McNamara says she enjoyed riding past wild horses. The final competition was the toughest. The teams were forced to climb uphill at Mount Rose at least a mile, McNamara says, and then ski down. McNamara, a “soso skier,” says she was afraid of falling. “I was exhausted. The uphill was really challenging,” she says. “The people that we needed to S E E MCNAMARA,C2 success in the XTERRA triathlon series. She’s gone to nationals in her age group the past two seasons.

It’s every golfer’s dream to own their own playground of grass, sand and water. This might be your chance, if you’ve won the lottery. The Huntmore Golf Club, off Old US-23 in Brighton Township is being auctioned at 1 p.m. June 18 at the Genoa Woods Conference Center in Genoa Township. Since opening in 2000, the 7,105-yard course has had its share of problems. The original owners declared bankruptcy in 2003 and the course’s name changed from the Golf Club of Michigan to the Huntmore Golf Club. One of the original investors, current owner Tom McDonald, took control of the 290-acre parcel. A soft economy and a glut of courses in southeast Michigan has wreaked havoc on the industry. Plus, the Himtmore’s out-ofthe- way location and difficulty are chief among its concerns. Its slope rating (143 fix)m the tips) is one of the highest in Michigan. Still, hard-core golfers love the course for its challenge and scenic beauty, as its holes zigzag through a forest and over wetlands.

You want to make him happy.” 'lyie’s biggest challenge is coaching cross country. A former heavyweight wrestler and lineman in football, 'lyie doesn’t have the intimate knowledge of distance running like he does in the other sports he coaches. He began researching workouts on the Internet, talking with other coaches and reading a book about former University of Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman, a founder of Nike Inc. “It was trial and error the first year,” 'lyie says. “We will pick it up next year.” His biggest goal in track is to recruit more athletes and to qualify several for states. The program has 50 uniforms ready to wear and less than 40 athletes using them. “In this sport, it’s all about numbers,” he says. “It’s rare to have more uniforms than bodies.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

G O L F FROM Cl Golfers love course for its challenge, scenic beauty McDonald hasn’t returned messages for comment left through Huntmore General Manager Ron Cortese, but Cortese wants to clear up any misconceptions. He says it’s not a bank-sanctioned auction. “It’s not you bid $5,000 and get a golf course, either,” he added. Potential buyers must put up $75,000 in advance to attend the event, run by McKay Golf Properties. Dick Haughton, the owner of the Chesaning-based McKay, has brokered the sale of more than 200 golf courses since 1964. A course in “south-central” Michigan on 145 acres was listed on his Web site, (www.mckaygolf. com) earlier this spring for $1.9 million. Haughton says more properties are turning to auction to sell in a timely fashion. Last year, the two-course Otsego Club in Gaylord sold that way. “The owner has the right to accept or reject any and all bids,” Haughton says of the Huntmore’s auction. “The reason for that is he is under no distress to sell. He is looking at the auction method because this is the state of the yard (industry) with eBay. It has some distinct advantages for him to be able to pick the date of the sale.” The sale includes the course, all equipment and a Class C liquor license. Haughton hopes to attract between 20-40 buyers. “Being a very nice facility, people will look at it a little different,” he says. “This is not a troubled property. Bank foreclosure properties are a little different. This is a viable business opportunity.” Cortese says golfers likely won’t see many changes this season, sale or not. “Our leagues and members are still here. We keep them happy,” he says.

Longtime resident Don Thompson will be the grand marshal for the parade. “I was surprised and elated to be named grand marshal,” says 'Thompson. “The gratifica- 1^ tion I get from seeing people’s ^ faces when they come into the Music Hall is all I need.” Thompson is referring to the Hartland Music Hall, which has B its 75th anniversary this year. He has been donating his time to renovating the Music Hall P for the last 20 years. It all started in 1986 when his children joined the Hartland Players children’s group and performed in a Christmas play at the Music Hall. “It was dilapidated, but I fell in love with it,” says Thompson. “I started researching how it came about, and it piqued my interest to want to do something to make it look better. The Hartland Consolidated School District owned the building, and I S E E THOMPSON, A2 he wrote that much of the feedback he has gotten in the last month has indicated that Brighton schools “were selected by families for a reason, and that reason was the programs and services that are offered. “Many have suggested the district needs to look at its employee compensation plans and bring them into line with our ability to pay and to particularly benchmark employee benefits to what is occurring in the private sector.” Because negotiations with the teachers as well as other employee unions are ongoing, it probably will not affect how the board decides to cut the $2.18 million from the 2007-2008 budget, he said. On May 17, at the second of two town hall meetings designed to get public input on the budget, Craig told an audience of about 150 people that the Brighton school district spends 65.68 percent of its budget on instruction, which is the highest percentage of any school district in Livingston County. “Our constant focus has b e en . to preserve our instructional side,” he said. “Our district has been very lean in the support services, especially in the general administration.” Brighton also spends less than 1 percent of its budget on general administration, one of the lowest percentages of school districts in Liv- S E E BRIGHTON, A4 School budget talks underway All local school districts are working on 2007- 08 budgets with a high degree of uncertain state funding.

Howell cuts teachers, sets up a 6-period day P la n n in g d if f ic u lt w h i l e w a i t in g f o r s t a t e f ig u r e s BY CASEY HANS News Staff Reporter The Howell school board has approved a plan that will cut an estimated 15 full-time middle school teaching positions and take the district’s two middle schools from seven periods to six. Officials stressed Monday that the school day will not be shortened, but that the day will be spread over she, longer class periods. The move will require fewer teachers and is expected to save the district an estimated $700,000 of the $2 million to $2.5 million in cuts expected to be made for the 2007-08 fiscal budget, said Superintendent Chuck Breiner. The district must adopt a new budget before the new fiscal year begins July 1. But those projected dollar amounts are school officials’ best estimate. Just weeks before the district must have a new fiscal budget in place, it is unclear how much money the Howell Public Schools will have in order to conduct business.

JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS THOMPSON FROM A1 Volunteer restored Hartland Music Hall asked if I could sand the floors. That was the start of a 20-year project.” Since then, Thompson has participated in refurbishing all 225 seats in the facility. He redid all the floors and all the woodwork, brass and doors. He went on to renovate one room at a time and spent many of his vacations working there. He also put on a new roof, redid all the electrical work, and retiled the entire basement. The Hartland Music Hall was built in 1858 and served as a church until the early 1900s, when the church disbanded. J. Robert Crouse purchased the vacant building in 1929 for $500 and decided to make it into a music hall. He wanted to bring culture, art and music to the rural community, and spent $50,000, a very large sum at that time, to improve the halt. A stage, balcony and basement were added, and he purchased a Kilgen organ, which drew people from all over the world to come and play music. Today the Hartland Music Hall is used for concerts, weddings, plays, and a variety of activities. “Everything in the Music Hall was the best that money could buy, and that’s why it appealed to me to make it look like it did back in the 1930s,” says Thompson, who also renovated one of the original homes in the village, which is adjacent to the Music Hall and received a Hartland Area Historical Society Preservation Award in 2004. Steve Assenmacher, who is the former community education director in Hartland, volunteered his time as well working on the Music Hall. “I’m inspired by Don,” says Assenmacher. “He is a wonderful guy and does so much for our community. He’s kind of adopted the Music Hall and protects it like it’s his own child.” Janet Sifi'erman, superintendent of the Hartland school district, is the chairwoman of the Hgilland Consolidated Schools Foundation, which was set up by Crouse. “I just love this whole history piece,” says Sifferman. “Don is the most loyal, dedicated, community- minded person that I have ever worked with. He puts in hours and hours of volunteer time to enhance the Hartland community and let people understand the history behind everything. He’s very selfless, and has a genuine love and appreciation of this community.” Thompson has lived in Hartland 'Township for 31 years. He grew up and lived in Detroit and used to come to Hartland 'Township to play golf. “When my wife and I had our first child, we decided to move out here knowing that the schools were as good as they were,” he says. “At that time” - in the early 1970s - “there was nothing out here and M-59 was a two-lane road.” Thompson started an appliance service company in Ann Arbor, which he sold last year and then retired. He says his priority of late is to maintain the Music Hall. Thanks to donations from the Hartland Players and a trust that Crouse left for the Music Hall, as well as a lot of support from the community, Thompson is optimistic about its future. “I just put my labor into it,” he says, “and want to keep it as nice as possible.” Lisa Carolin can be reached a t icarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010. IN BRIEF F o w l e r v i l l e Board honors football coach The school board has honored Fowlerville varsity football coach Jack Wallace for his May 19 induction into the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Wallace has taught physical education and coached football in Fowlerville for 29 years. Fowlerville Community Schools Superintendent Ed Alverson extolled Wallace’s virtues as a teacher and leader, and board member Jeffrey Limonoff called Wallace an outstanding mentor. Board extends Alverson's contract Citing Superintendent Ed Alverson’s above-satisfactory evaluation in March, the Fowlerville school board voted to approve a one-year extension to his contract. This vote extends Alverson’s current contract until June 10, 2010. The board voted unanimously with the exception of board President Mike Brown, who was absent from the meeting. School chief details funding problems “Currently, schools are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic,” read a note from the superintendent in the Fowlerville Community Schools board meeting agenda for May 15. Superintendent Ed Alverson spoke to the board, cataloging the structural problems with Michigan’s school funding. According to an April 26 report by the nonpartisan Citizens Research Council of Michigan, the depressed Michigan economy and cost increases - including for health care and energy - make it impossible to fund schools without changes in the basic funding structure. The problem is exacerbated locally by the fact that the Fowlerville district receives a per-pupil allowance of $500 less than the state average allowance of $7,600. Fowlerville is ranked 699 out of 765 Michigan districts in the amount of state aid they receive under the current law. The school board submitted a resolution to the state protesting Fowlerville’s inequitable status. H a m b u r g T o w n s h ip Water project moves ahead A plan to bring municipal water to residents and businesses along M-36 in Hamburg 'Township is moving forward. Following a May 15 public hearing, the Hamburg Township Board of THistees voted to set up a special assessment district and proceed with determining engineering costs for phase one of its M-36 Corridor Municipal Water Project, part of the Livingston Community Water Authority. Clerk Joanna Hardesty cast the only dissenting vote. The township has received 25 petitions from those who own 58 percent of the nearly 287 acres in the proposed district, which runs from the township’s eastern border with Green Oak 'Township west to the Hamburg Professional Center and Michigan Rehabilitation Specialists at 7785 E. M-36. Another public hearing will take place this summer. If the owners of more than 50 percent of the acreage in the proposed district still support the project then, construction of the water line should begin in September and be finished by late November, said Supervisor Cindy Pine. H o w e l l s c h o o l s Board attendance policy reviewed The school board is expected to consider a revised policy on attendance for school board members next month. Concerns over the issue were raised Monday by Iheasurer Phil Westmoreland at the end of the regular meeting. “I’m disappointed at the attendance of some of our board members,” he said, noting that there is little other board members can do except to raise the issue. “It comes down to their willingness to do the job,” he added. Westmoreland did not specify who he was concerned about, saying only that the board is often not at its full contingent of seven members. Board President Sue Drazic said the matter would be taken up by the board’s policy committee in June. Parker mascot gets fine-tuning One of the two students who designed the Parker High School mascot, the Patriot, has upgraded his concept for school officials, fine-tuning the image and suggesting the best ways the school mascot can be used. Jesse Schmidt, a 2005 Howell High School graduate who attends the International Academy for Design and Technology, said the district’s Parker High logo contest prompted him to study graphic design. “If you can use this, it would be a delight for me,” he told the board. The Patriot will not officially debut until the district opens two high schools. In the coming school year, Howell High School students will carry the Highlander mascot with them as they relocate at Parker.

P in c k n e y 20 teachers accept district buyout offer 'Twenty Pinckney Community Schools teachers, several of whom have worked for the district for more than 30 years, have accepted an early retirement buyout package in an attempt to avoid employee layoffs next year. The offers went to about 120 staff members who are on the ninth step of a 10-step salary ^ schedule and have worked in Pinckney schools for at least five years. By law, those who accepted have until Monday to rescind their decision. “We are pleased that we likely won’t have to lay oflf people,” g said Brian Higgins, assistant " superintendent for personnel. “But we are losing a lot of talent and experience and that’s nothing to cheer about. These are people who have contributed a lot to this community and its children for a long time.” Pinckney is predicting a $1.5 million budget deficit next year. Retirement savings are not immediately known, as some jobs will have to be filled by next fall, Higgins said.'

From News staff reports THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2007 A3 COURTESY, CAROLE COLBURN Highlander Way Middle School teacher Carole Colburn works with eighth-grader Josh Appleyard. Colburn has been named Outstanding Teacher for the International Society for Technology in Education. She will receive her award in Atlanta in June.

(She has season tickets.) ■ Philosophy of life; "To make a positive difference in the lives of people I encounter. Life is short - you've got to make it good." ■ Special; She recently was selected for the 2007 Outstanding Teacher Award for the International Society for Technology Education and won a similar honor for the state-level group Michigan Association of Computer Users in Learning. BY CASEY HANS News Staff Reporter Carole Colburn chose teaching as her profession years ago. After putting her career on hold to raise a family, in 1998 she made a two-year foray into teaching computers to adult professionals. It tossed her headlong into the profession and made technology her focus. “It was really baptism by fire,” said the technology teacher, who is now a selfprofessed e-mailaholic. “I had to learn 60 software programs in six months - and teach them.” Colburn, 50, eventually did some substitute teaching and landed a job in Howell training teachers in technology. Four years ago she moved to Highlander Way Middle School when budget cuts ended her central office post. “The great blessing is that I’m teaching a subject that I think is the great equalizer,” she said of her job. “Technology is just a tool that can open doors and take them (students) outside. I can show them the power of how that can affect a community without ever having to step a foot out the door.” Colburn recently earned the 2007 Outstanding Teacher Award for the International Society for Technology Education. She won a similar honor this year from the Michigan Association of Computer Users in Learning. “I’m deeply honored,” Colburn said of the national award, which she will receive at the group’s annual conference in Atlanta next month. “I think they were looking at some of the community projects we’ve done.” At Highlander Way, this service-oriented teacher has involved her technology students with a variety of community service projects, including teaming up with the art department for a Humane Society of Livingston County fundraiser and a recent project mentoring senior citizens on computer skills. Under her guidance, students recently raised $2,758.12 in pennies to help the humanitarian effort in Darfur, Africa. “Sometimes its about raising money, sometimes its about raising awareness,” she added. Colburn teaches students in grades 6-8, which she said is fulfilling. “We really get to see the kids’ growth and progress,” she said. “We see how they grow and develop and how they mature.” Top-level school officials offered praise of Colburn in her nomination. “In a district that only 12 years ago had 125 computers, Carole helped to shape a vibrant tech culture as the district has added nearly 3,000 more,” said Superintendent Chuck Breiner, noting that Colburn has played a key role in staff training as technology has progressed. Assistant Superintendent Jeanne Farina calls Colburn an advocate for technology and often instructs teachers during in-service days. “She never disappoints me,” Farina said. “Her sessions are always in high demand.” Fellow technology teacher Jennifer Mulvihill nominated her for the award and calls Colburn her mentor. “Carole is always her for the kids and she comes up with the most wonderful projects,” she said. Mulvihill said Colburn spends every "Tuesday after school working with other teachers who might need help with technology. “I also see a lot of kids in her room before school - she has an open-door policy,” Mulvihill added. “She’s a great resource in our school. I hope she stays around for a long time.” Casey Hans can be reached at chans@ livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2005.

Plans include offering it to every home, business and governmental unit in the county within two years. The service could be operational by late summer in the southeast part of the county. The service - called Linking Livingston - will have no cost for basic service. The private company providing the service will make money by offering upgrades for faster service. Local officials from southeast Livingston County have been meeting for a year on regional cooperation issues and this is the group’s first major effort. “We said here’s a project we could all work on that will benefit the entire county,” says Green Oak Township Supervisor Mark St. Charles, who is on the regional cooperation group. “We had the perfect example next door in Oakland County, and they went through all the growing pains.” A presentation was made on Oakland’s wireless service, which is available in "IVoy, Madison Heights and Royal Oak and eventually will be available throughout the county. Brighton Mayor Steve Monet said Oakland has offered to let Livingston County partner with it at no cost. “We’re working on a pilot program with Oakland wffich would allow us to use their contractual process,” Monet says. Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Pam McConeghy said they may also consider partnering with Washtenaw County which will make a presentation on May 30. “(Wireless Internet) is absolutely critical to the whole transition Michigan is going through, and the role Livingston County will play,” said County Economic Development Council Director Fred Dillingham. “The Internet is becoming as important to the way we do business and the way we live our lives as the telephone was 40-50 years ago,” he says. The Livingston County Board of Commissioners has endorsed the project, and is lending the expertise of its information technology director, Paul McNamara, to assist. He said partnering with a nearby county would speed up the process of getting the system upand- running. McConeghy says Livingston County must to go wireless in order to remain competitive. “It’s absolutely essential if we want companies to come into this area.” The basic service - at 128 kilobytes per second, which McNamara says is three-four times the speed of most dialup services - will be fi^e. The higher-speed broadband service will be available for a fee. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@livingstoncommunitynews. com or a t810-844-2009.

He was to graduate on June 3 and hoped to attend Lansing Community College to be certified as a mechanic for after-market, high-performance engines. He dreamed of owning a Camaro. His dreams died in a headon crash last Sunday as he was driving home fi-om work • at the Fowlerville McDonald’s. Morris, 19, died Monday at the University of Michigan Medical Center. He was airlifted to the hospital after the crash on Fowler^e Road near Sargent Road in Handy Township. Livingston County Sheriff Robert Bezotte said deputies were surprised at his death. Washtenaw Medical Examiner Bader Cassin said he believed the frame pillar between the windshield and the door was crushed and hit Morris in Brian Steven Morris, a senior at Fowlerville High School, was killed in an auto crash last Sunday. the head-on collision between his southbound 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier and a Ford Taurus driven by Steven Emory Bowen, 53, i s o of the Fowlerville area. Bezotte said Bowen is not believed to have been drinking or speeding before the crash, but he had a dog in the car. He said a Livingston County deputy planned to speak to Bowen 'Tuesday at Sparrow Hospital, where he was in serious condition, about why he crossed the center line. Morris’ mother Dawn Sanders said she would not care to comment while the crash is still under investigation. “It’s a great loss to us,” his mother said. “Brian was everybody’s fiiend - just an awesome person.” Morris’ family has established the Brian Morris Memorial Flmd at Citizens Bank in Livingston County. It will be used as an educational fund for Morris’ eight siblings, four of whom attend Fbwlerville schools. Fowlerville High School Assistant Principal Phil Heller said his students are distraught over the loss of their fiiend. “It’s a difficult time for everyone: staff, students, and particularly the seniors.” Counselors attended each of Morris’ classes Monday to talk with his classmates and they were available for students throughout the day. Heller said school officials would plan for a graduation memorial next week Morris is immediately survived by his eight siblings, his mother Dawn Sanders, step-father Bob Gray, and his father Tim Morris who lives in Corunna.

Parent Robin Chapman suggested that school district employees could contribute more for benefits. “Employee contributions to the health plan are low,” she said. “It’s hard to understand in this age when an employee doesn’t have to contribute to benefits or only pays that little.” Craig said there were several budget reduction options mentioned at the town hall meeting, stressing that they were options and not recommendations. The list includes restructuring special education, cutting curriculum coordinators, eliminating the high school career program, increasing participation fees for sports, and reducing or eliminating guidance services and the school nurse. “We spend $2.3 million on student transportation,” Craig told the audience. “We tried cutting back high school busing during the 2005-2006 school year and had quite a ruckus over that.” Parent Mark Haas spoke up against cutting busing. “I don’t think the roads can handle all of us driving our kids to school, and fuel costs keep going up,” said Haas. Parent John Conely, who attended Monday’s board meeting, had his own solution for busing in the Brighton school district. Conely, who owns a Brighton area auto business, offered to buy some of Hartland Consolidated School District’s buses, which have less than half the miles of some of the older buses in Brighton’s fleet. He suggested that after Brighton sells its aged buses, the district compensate him to offset the difference in prices. It’s one of many options facing the school board, which must approve a new budget no later than June 30. Lisa Carotin can be reached at icaroiin® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010. HOWELL FROM A1 Put pressure on state legislators, parent suggests intendent for Finance Rick Terres said. Public schools are funded by a per-pupil foundation grant. Howell is among the districts that gets the lowest grant in the state at $7,085 per pupil, making it a “donor district” that sends more property tax money to the state than it gets in return. “It is so difficult to say where our foundation grant will be on July 1,” he said. “We just don’t know.” Howell Public Schools has cut $8.4 million from its operating budget in the past four years. Considering possible state cuts for the current year and adding projected cuts for the coming year, the district will have trimmed an estimated $11.4 million from the budget over five years, officials said.

Terres said Monday that in the fall, he expects state finances may force Howell to borrow money for everyday expenses. He reported that income growth projections and employment projections are down for Michigan, which in turn affects income and sales taxes which help fund the public schools. The district also is reaching out to the community for ideas and help. Last week, officials gathered suggestions from about 90 people at a budget forum at Highlander Way Middle School, where suggestions ranged from everything from freezing textbook purchases to administrators taking pay cuts. Some other ideas included hosting school elections in November instead of May, shutting down buildings over the summer and at night, beefing up the use and fees for the high school swimming pool, closing the freshman campus building, and moving the administrative community education ART FROM A1 Food and music also part of fair vate art school in Birmingham.

OPPAT News Staff Reporter The body of a kayaker lost in Hamburg Township’s Ore Lake on April 14 was recovered earlier this week. Hamburg Township Police Chief Steve Luciano said that Douglas C. Lopitz, 29, of upstate New York, was found on the north shore of the lake at 12:45 p.m. Tuesday during a training dive by members of the Lansing Police-Ingham County-Eaton County Regional Dive Team. Luciano said he believed that Lopitz had surfaced in the last six to 24 hours, based on the condition of his body. He said the body was found near where Lopitz was last seen kayaking, and that he had probably drowned in 20-45 feet of water. Luciano said people were on a pontoon boat near the body, but hadn’t noticed it. “I’m glad that trained professionals discovered the body and recovered it before Memorial Day weekend and the start of the boating season. I’m sure the family will be relieved,” he said. Lopitz was staying in the area while he worked as a contractor on cell phone towers. He was not wearing a life preserver the last time he was seen paddling the kayak at about 8:30 p.m. April 14. The kayak was found overturned the next day. Mariani said. “Come enjoy our small-town atmosphere.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynew5.com or at 810-844-2011.

Over the two-day celebration, hundreds of people ^ toured the 1881 structure, one of 14 buildings set to receive a state marker for historical significance. “It’s amazing,” said Ayumi Emmerich, a frequent visitor to downtown Howell. She and b ______________________________ her husband, Gary, travel from Genoa Township weekly for the coffee shops, farmers market and restaurants. “We always wondered what was in here,” Gary Emmerich said as he browsed original Opera House items on display for Howell History Days. He was surprised to hear upper-floor access has been limited since 1924, when the local fire marshal closed the doors for safely reasons. 'The couple was drawn to the building at 123 W. Grand River Ave. because it reminded them of the historic building where they wer^ married. Firm believers in historic preservation, the pair hopes for a revived stage so they can return for theatrical performances and concerts. Sharon Fisher, vice president of the Livingston Arts Council, the proprietary group, echoes that hope, but stresses renovation efforts could last years. “Phase two will t ^ e much longer” than the three months needed to complete phase one, the $420,000 first-floor renovation, she said. “We’ll do it in stages,” she said, estimating the total project cost at $5 million to $6 million. The group plans to approach charitable foundations to aid the effort, and will kick off a fundraising campaign by 2008. Rentals of the first floor also will help fund phase two improvements. In the meantime, LAC board members will use the renovated space for fundraising events and art exhibits. “I’ve been told this gallery now compares to galleries in Chicago,” said Fisher, focusing on comments she received during last weekend’s open house. “(Response) has been fantastic. People are just in awe.” For rental information, call 517-540-0065. Local resident Marc Kolis is the weekend conductor for the train rides that run out of the Howell Depot. Visitors to this year's Howell History Days enjoyed rides on the oldtime train. JIM JAGDFELD, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Architectural gems will get National Trust plaques 5 buil(ding owners also honored for period-sensitive renovation work BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News S t a f f Rep orter Brian Shorkey added little commentary about the 14 downtown buildings deemed “historically significant” by the I State Historic Preservation ^ Committee as he led the Sunday historic district walking tours. Instead, he recited statistics researched by members of the local historical society... until the tour reached the All ^ Saints Church, 114 S. Walnut 9 St. “That’s where the lady in the blue hat (pointing to his wife, Jessica) lost a bet, and married me,” said Shorkey, a member of the city’s Planning Commission and the Main Street Design Committee as well as a local tour guide and constant ladder. “No, that’s not true,” he later admitted. “She didn’t lose a bet, but we did get married there,” in 2003. The All Saints Church, the First Presbyterian Church, the Howell Theater and more were featured during 60-minute tours. The news that each of the featured buildings would receive historic markers from the National TVust Preservation Committee honoring property owners for “retaining their original architectural integrity” was added to this year’s tours. Markers are set for installation over the next couple of weeks. “One of the things a lot of communities have gone through is a change to those historic buildings. Howell has done an excellent job of keeping their character, which helps to create a wonderful economic base in downtown,” said Kelly Larson, a Main Street architect working with the State Historical Preservation Committee. In addition to the 14 buildings identified for historic markers, five buildings received extra attention by the city’s Main Street Program, a plan promoting historic preservation and design improvements. Those property owners received an origin^ rendering of their building, matted and fiamed. “It’s important to recognize the people who own these buildings, because they put a lot of money into them, a lot of time, a lot of blood, sweat and tears,” said Nathan Voght, chairman of the Main Street Design Committee and board member of the Howell’s Main Street and Downtown Development Authority. Howell’s DDA was restructured to include the “Main Street approach” after winning a state grant in 2005. “It’s a downtown revitalization plan that has a proven track record of success if followed,” said Voght. According to Shorkey, the plan is working. Downtown businesses are embracing the historic feel and taking pride in their historic buildings with specialized lighting, signage and color schemes. “There is no city ordinance requiring it (preservation efforts), but they are doing it,” Shorkey said. “It’s (often) cheaper to tear buildings down and start over, but (these property owners) have a different mindset.” More than 200 nominations were submitted for the five special awards, according to Main Street manager Mindy Arnold. Winners were chosen based on level of preservation, a project’s level of difficulty community impact and historical significance. Aside from “enhancing downtown’s character, these winners are really investing in the downtown and helping to make the economy more stable,” Arnold said.

Margaret Evans the craft department manager is cutting a yard of fabric. Below, sales associate Ryan Bade fills a balloon order. Pinckney Pharmacy's close opens door for retail chain Incoming Rite Aid will hire much of existing staff RETAIL REPORT BY LEANNE SMITH News S ta f f R ep orter The opening of Pinckney’s first national retail chain store next month will coincide with the closing of one of the village’s most popular locally owned businesses. The assets of Pinckney Pharmacy, 1343 E. M-36, have been sold by co-owners Robert Phipps and Michael Heidt to Rite Aid Inc., which is set to open a new store at M-36 and Dexter-Pinckney Road on June 21. Pinckney Pharmacy will close June 26 and customers’ prescriptions will be transferred to Rite Aid, Phipps said. “It’s going to be OK,” Phipps said. “This is a mutual marriage; a merger. We wanted to go out on top rather than on the bottom so we were better able to take care of our employees. This just felt right.” Phipps will become the Rite Aid store’s pharmacy manager and many of Pinckney Pharmacy’s 52 full- and part-time employees already have been interviewed by Rite Aid for the roughly 30 to 40 jobs available at the new store, said Jody Cook, the company’s senior public relations manager. If there are more people than jobs at the Pinckney store, jobs at other nearby Rite Aid stores will be provided, she said. “We want the transition to be seamless,” Phipps said. “The only difference for our customers is that they will go to Rite Aid instead of to Pinckney Pharmacy. There will be a lot of the same people there to wait on them. They’ll see the same smiling faces they’ve seen for years.” Margaret Evans, Pinckney Pharmacy’s craft department manager and an 11-year employee, agrees that the transition has been smooth so far. “It’s sad that the store is closing, but this has not been like a big corporate takeover,” Evans said. “The people from Rite Aid have been very friendly with us, worked with us and are making every effort possible to make us feel comfortable. They want the community to feel comfortable walking into their store.” The decision to sell Pinckney P h a rm a ^ ’s assets was prompted by the state’s soft economy, stiff competition fi-om mail-order prescription programs and the desire of PWpps and Heidt to scale back their work hours, Phipps said. Phipps and Heidt still own Hamburg Pharmacy, 7472 E. M-36, and Fowlerville Pharmacy, 119 E. Grand River Ave., although negotiations to sell the Hamburg location to CVS Pharmacy are taking place, Phipps said. Pinckney Pharmacy, which opened in 1985, leases its current building. The decision to sell was “gut wrenching,” Phipps said. Employees were notified on May 15 of the store’s closing. “It was very emotional,” he said. “A lot of our employees have been with us for many years. We are like a family. This store has become part of who we are, not just our business or our jobs.” Pinckney Pharmacy employs a large number of Pinckney Community High School students. Phipps said he wanted to teach young people about working in retail and learning to be respectful, hiunble, helpful and courteous. Rite Aid shares that idea and will continue to offer jobs to students. Cook said. One thing likely not to survive Pinctoiey Pharmacy’s move to Rite Aid is the store’s award-winning fabric and craft area. Rite Aid does not typically sell fabric. Cook said. “I’m very sad to see Pinckney Pharmacy go,” said Hamburg Township’s Rhonda Wilmanowicz. “I’ve heard rumblings for awhile so I’m not shocked, but it’s a bummer. I’ve bought a lot of fabric, crafts, gifts and treats here.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. ■ r t f I ' A f a i t h - c e n t e r e d e d u c a t i o n a l e x p e r i e n c e S t .

Enrolling for Fall City Council grants 2 new liquor licenses A lone voice dissents the decision BY TOM TOLEN News S ta f f Reporter Jon Stoppels said there is “no proof” that allowing more Brighton restaurants to serve alcohol will boost the economic vitality in the downtown business district. So, during last week’s council meeting, the 16- year council veteran voted against two liquor license applications. He was the only council m ember to vote no.S toppels, 49, whose works as the village administrator in the Oakland County village of Franklin, believes strongly that adding two more establishments serving liquor would be too many. However, the City Council last week approved class C liquor licenses for Buon Gusto Italian Bistro at 501 W. Main St. and Sushi Zen Japanese Restaurant at 114 W. Grand River Ave. In its stated effort to improve the vitality of downtown, the council on April 19 approved creation of a downtown redevelopment district that extends from the traditional downtown district along Main Street out Grand River Avenue to Challis Road. The district takes advantage of a state law passed last year that allows the Michigan Liquor Control Commission to issue one liquor license for every $200,000 invested by the public and private sectors over the last five years in a community. In Brighton that could mean up to 15 additional licenses. The license would cost the applicant $20,000 (paid to the state), considered much lower than traditional liquor licenses. However, the license application would have to go through the same process as a regular liquor license, with the LCC taldng up to one year to act. Proponents say the licenses are needed by the businesses to make them viable in the face of ever-increasing competition. Backers also say downtown Brighton - with several vacant storefronts - needs a shot in the arm to bring people downtown to dine, shop and enjoy recreation. Stoppels disagrees. “There’s no proof in any way that (allowing re stau rants to serve alcohol) contributes to the vitality and life of a community,” he said. The re st of the council members took a different position. “The particular establishments we’re talking about are small establishments that are not conducive to a whole night of drinking, as a club or bar would be,” said Council Member John 'lYinis. Buon Gusto owner Sal Viviano “struggles in his restaurant because perhaps some people would like to have a glass of wine with their meal,” said Council Member Kate Lawrence. “I don’t want to see him struggle and I don’t want to see Sushi Zen struggle.” A representative of Sushi Zen said it has lost many customers who wanted to have drinks with their meals and walked out, or canceled reservations, when told the restaurant could not serve alcohol. Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Pam McConeghy made a pitch for approval of the proposal. “I think it is really important for the economic development of the area,” McConeghy said. “We need diversity,” McConeghy added, alluding to the 2003 Downtown Brighton Blueprint prepared by consultant HyattPalma, which identified ethnic restaurants as desirable. Stoppels said the coimcil has been concentrating too much on how to fix problems downtown and not addressing the needs of the city as a whole. “Council has forgotten that 91 percent of our residents live on the other side of Grand River and the other side of the railroad tracks,” he said. Stoppels was not happy when told that neither Brighton Police Chief Tom Wightman, nor the State Police or Sheriff’s Department, had been asked by staff, to submit reports on the impact of additional liquor licenses downtown. He further argued that allowing more liquor licenses will re sult in devaluing the property of existing restaurants that serve alcohol. Stoppels, who has said he will not run again when his term runs out in November, said it’s time to hang it up, mostly for family reasons, but also because of his philosophical differences with other council members. “I don’t think the cily wants to go into the direction that I want to go,” he said.

During the first two weekends in June, all the homes open for touring will be new homes and condominiums. During the final weekend of the tour, there will be remodeled homes as well as the personal homes of several local builders, who for the first time will give visitors a chance to see how they’ve customized their own homes. Erika Healy, sales manager for Healy Homes, says her company will have a condo on the tour this year. “It’s at a great location across from Kohl’s in Genoa Township off Lawson Drive,” says Healy. “There are so many amenities all around the development, which is called Summerfield Pointe Condominiums. The condo has three bedrooms, including a master bedroom on the first floor, a two-car garage, and a full basement.

While the calendar may not be quite ready (June 21 is the official start of summer), we are. That gray, gloomy season we call fall-winterrspring around here seems to last forever. And if this weekend is the psychological launch of summer, then it’s time to plan a summer vacation. I’m so ready, we’ve already got one week-long trip planned and are considering options for at least one more. In Michigan, you have to seize the moment. Despite what the weather is like as you read this, I swear it was sunny and warm when I was writing earlier this week. When I was out for lunch that day, I saw at least four people driving convertibles with the tops down. Seize the moment. Families were gathering at the Mill Pond Park playground in downtown Brighton; several people were out for a bike ride and others were enjoying their lunches at outdoor tables. Seize the moment. In today’s fast-paced, notsure- if-you’ll-have-a-job-tomorrow economic climate, I believe summer vacations are more important that ever. To work hard, we need to play hard, or at least play. Remember that old saying about all work and no play: Believe it. Most of us can recall the sense of anticipation for summer that starts to build as the end of the school year draws nearer. We’re within a week or two of high school graduations and the end of the school year is only another week or so beyond that. Before you know it, families will be packing the car for a summer road trip or- filling the state park campgrounds. With the cost of gasoline at an all-time high, more of us may take shorter trips or stay closer to home. But that said, there’s no reason not to take a summer vacation. In fact, high fuel costs probably make it more important than ever. Maybe all we need to do is redefine summer vacation. Instead of a western-states tour of several national parks, perhaps this is the summer to visit some of Michigan’s fabulous state parks. You can cut a several-thousand-mile road trip down to a several-hundred- mile trip. Instead of a long drive to the Porcupine Mountains in the western Upper Peninsula for a week of camping, perhaps this is the summer to haul the camper out to Bishop Lake in the Brighton State Recreation Area. The drive probably is shorter than your daily commute to work. Instead of piling the family into the car and driving anywhere, perhaps this is the summer to simply stay home and enjoy all that the region has to offer. With so many people living on lakes locally, lots of families can just stay home and still get that upnorth feel just by not going to work. Come the end of June, we’ll be heading off on a week-long bike trip. While it will require a day in the car to get to our starting point, once there, the car will get its own vacation while we pedal our way from town to town over the next five days. Skip vacation because of high fuel costs? No way! The situation just requires a little imagination.

Laws o f the lakes Fun seekers need to heed watercraft rules BY LEANNE SMITH News S t a f f Rep o r ter The Memorial Day weekend is the official start of summer and, in many parts of Livingston County, that means residents and visitors alike will be heading to the lakes. It also means that the workload for local law enforcement officers whose jurisdictions contain lakes will increase dramatically. If people remember the three Cs - caution, courtesy and common sense - everyone will have a safe and happy summer, says Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte. “The last thing we ever want to respond to is a swimmer that’s been hit by a boat,” Bezotte says. Livingston County has approximately 65 mapped lakes. The Sheriff’s Department’s Marine Division has jurisdiction over all those with public access points, and it randomly patrols these waterways from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The highest concentration of local lakes is in Hamburg Township on the Portage Lake chain of lakes and in Putnam Township on the Hi- Land Lake chain of lakes. Hamburg officers will be more visible on the township’s roughly 30 lakes and portion of the Huron River this summer, says Police Chief Steve Luciano. “A big part of what happens here in the summer happens on the wate r and people look to us to take care of that,” Luciano says. Hamburg had one boating death on Zukey Lake in 2005 and the drowning of a kayaker on Ore Lake a month ago. Hamburg Police once had their own patrol boat, but that’s not the case anymore. Luciano is looking to budget for another one, but in the meantime hopes to step up its waterway enforcement by forging a closer relationship with the sheriff’s department, he said. “We get a significant number of complaints about personal watercraft, problems at access points and docks, noise and high-speed boating,” Luciano says. “For the people who live here, these become quality of life issues and we want to help them. Right now, without a boat, that can be frustrating.” The most frequent violations seen by Hamburg officers, says Police Lt. Brian DeNoyer, are high-speed boating too close to other watercraft or SEE BOATING,83 HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Clark family from Dexter was at the Portage Lake boat launch off McGregor Road last weekend, launching their boat for the season.

HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS ■ If underway between sunset and sunrise, all vessels must have navigation lights. ■ Fire extinguishers are required if a vessel has closed living spaces, permanent fuel tanks or closed compartments in which portable fuel tanks or flammable or combustible material can be stored. ■ A vessel's engine must have a factory-installed muffler or exhaust system for noise reduction. It must prevent noise in excess of 90 decibels at idle from three feet away and 75 decibels measured from onshore. ■ No one may operate a vessel under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A person is under the influence if his or her blood alcohol concentration is 0.10 percent or greater as determined by a breath, blood or urine test. ■ By operating a vessel on Michigan waters, you have consented to be tested for alcohol or drugs if arrested by a law enforcement official. For boats ■ Those under age 12 may operate a boat powered by a motor of no more than six horsepower and operate a boat powered by a motor of more than six horsepower but no more than 35 horsepower if they are supervised onboard by someone at least 16 years old. They cannot ever operate any boat powered by a motor of more than 35 horsepower. ■ Those 12 through 15 may operate a boat powered by a motor of no more than six horsepower, but may operate a boat powered by a motor of more than six horsepower if they have passed a DNR boating safety course or are accompanied onboard by someone at least 16 years old. ■ Those 16 and older may operate any boat. ■ Riding in the bow of a boat is illegal if the boat is not equipped with bow seating and is operating at greater than slow, no-wake speed.

Even at 5:30 on a Saturday morning, there was plenty of activity. This was one of Brighton’s biggest parties of the year, the annual Relay for Life, featuring 86 teams and more than 3,000 participants who come together to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. Each participant is as unique as the team they represent. And each has his or her own reasons for being a part of the event. The 24-hour fundraiser ran last weekend, from 7 p.m. Friday-7 p.m. Saturday. Carrie Wickersham, a Brighton resident, organized a team in memory of her sister, Cherie. Wickersham’s sister was diagnosed with cancer nine years ago, and died last year. A first-time participant in the relay, Wickersham was impressed with the amount of support all participants shared. “We don’t even know (the other participants), but we feel like one happy family.” The process of organizing the first-year team got rather overwhelming at times. “I was getting stressed about getting the paperwork all filled out and getting things ready, and I wondered if I could really pull it all together,” said Wickersham. “But I would get signs from Cherie through the process telling me things were going to be OK.” Everything worked out for Wickersham’s first-year team. My Cherie Amour, and they even put their own Brighton High students from the "How to Save a Life" team take a break and stay warm snuggled under blankets in the early morning hours Saturday.Team members include, from left, Ellie Pryser, 15, Xavier Ferreyra, 16, Ellen Defenderfer, 15, Parker Campbell,! 6 and Dominik Traudt, 16. m O M B U D b re a s t Cav\cejf S u p p o r t OWUp The Brighton annual Relay for Life featured 86 teams and more than 3,000 participants. Together they raised at least $264,000 for the American Cancer Society. PHOTOS: JIM JAGDFELD. SPECIALTOTHE NEWS touch on the closing ceremony. The team sold balloons throughout the event for $1 with all the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. All the balloons were to be released at once with messages of hope tied to the strings, an idea Wickersham got from her nephew’s soccer team. While teams like My Cherie Amour were experiencing the relay for the first time, there were many who had been a part of the event for several years. One of the teams. The Boobie Stars, was a group of friends and co-workers who started participating seven years ago. Leah Norris is a part of this veteran team, and started attending the relay to support a friend. “I came out to join my friend in the Survivor Walk, and ever since then I’ve been a part of (the relay).” Norris, a Livingston County resident for more than 30 years, now travels to the relay from her home in Ft. Wayne, Ind., to be with her team. “I’ve had a lot of family and friends who have fought cancer, and participating in an event like this makes you feel like you’re doing something to help,” Norris said. Diana Mason, who is in charge of team development for the Brighton relay, was impressed with the continued support of the event, which she believes is one of the top five relays in southeast Michigan. “In 1996, we had 20-25 teams and raised about $40,000. We thought we were doing good then ...” Mason said the fundraising amount at the start of the relay on Friday was somewhere around $147,000. Earlier this week the amount raised was up to $264,407, with several fundraisers still to be completed. Not bad for a day’s work.

As part of her duties, Dorothy helped Urbin prepare worksheets for an upcoming staff meeting. Charity auction prize allows fifth-grader to be'the boss' BY LEANNE SMITH News S t a f f R ep o r ter Fifth-grader Dorothy Buening had to be at school a good two hours early May 11, but she didn’t mind. That day, she was in charge. Well, sort of. Dorothy spent the day following in the footsteps of Navigator School Principal Stacey Urbin as “principal for a day.” Her father bought the chance for her last fall at a benefit spaghetti dinner and auction for Farley Hill Elementary School fourthgrader Kasey Bennet, who is battling leukemia. “I really wanted this,” Dorothy said. “It just seemed like something really cool to do.” She felt the same even after a long day of preparing charts for a staff meeting, monitoring the lunchroom, giving talks in classrooms and working on next year’s budget for school supplies. “She does a lot of fun things during the day,” Dorothy said of Urbin. “She even gets to do stuff with the kids around the school.” Dorothy admitted, though, that the job wasn’t what she thought it would be. “I thought she probably did mostly paperwork and she did do some, but she walks around the school a lot,” she said. “She has a lot to think about all day.” Dorothy arrived at school at 7:15 a.m. and jumped right in helping Urbin prepare the day’s staff bulletin. Then, she read the morning announcements to all classes and helped Urbin review results of a school survey asking for suggestions on how to recognize good work from staff and students. “I did get to give my lunch group an extra five minutes of recreation time because they were extra clean,” she said. “But my favorite part was making the charts for the staff meeting because I got to write them out.” Dorothy also got a little taste of what it means to be the “boss” at school. “When the principal walks by, if kids know they are doing something they shouldn’t, they stop and then peek back until she’s gone,” she said. “Then they probably start doing it again.” As enjoyable as the day was for Dorothy, it was just as enjoyable for Urbin, who had never had a student shadowing her before. “I liked teaching her about a different side of being at school, and f do think she was amazed at what the job is all about,” Urbin said. “I liked working with her and having a partner. ” Urbin enjoyed the experience so much, she is considering approaching Navigator’s student council next year to offer “principal for a day” as a prize for one of its activities. “It was a great opportunity,” Urbin said. “It was nice to have Dorothy with me all day because I could ask her opinion about things. It was nice to have the students’ input.” Navigator classmates, from left, Taylor Hartman, Carlie Morris and Mikeyla Agopian congratulate classmate Dorothy Buening on being "Principal for a Day."

The committee included Jake Mullin, PauUna Costa, Kala Zoner, Corey Swan and Joe Marshall. The Public Relations Committee establishes a marketing plan at the beginning of each year and includes projects members would like to run. In past years the class has coordinated a volleyball tournament to raise funds for the Livingston County United Way. This year the students took a different approach. “We looked at how much time it took and the amount of money that was raised in the past,” said Mullin. “There wasn’t a lot of return on investment for the time spent. We felt that we could raise more funds approaching businesses that don’t currently partner with our local United Way.” One such company that has a COURTESY, LIVINGSTON COUNTY UNITED WAY Howell High School students who are members of the public relations committee for the Livingston County United Way include, back row, from left: Jake Mullin, Corey Swan, Joe Marshall;front row, from left: Paulina Costa and Kaia Zoner.

Alcohol consumption also is a problem, Luciano says. People can’t have open containers of alcohol while in a car, but they can on a boat. They can’t operate the boat under the influence of alcohol, but the legal limit on the water is 0.10 percent, not 0.08 percent as it is on the road, which also concerns local officers. “One beer on a boat is like three on land,” says Sheriff’s Department Detective Don Welch. “You have to take into consideration that you’re out in the sun and heat and constantly trying to maintain balance on a 'One beer on a boat is like three on land.

The group has four boats and tries to have three of them in different parts of the county each Saturday and Sunday, Bezotte says. If deputies spend a lot of time this summer searching for drowning victims or investigating boating accidents, those patrols could be trimmed, because the department is receiving about $15,700 less in state funding this year, Bezotte says.

But the plight of the estimated 15,000 Americans of German ancestry who were interned between 1941 and 1948 is far less prominent. To change that is the aim of the TRACES Museum Center for History and Culture in St. Paul, Minn., and its traveling exhibit, “Vanished: German- American Civilian Internment, 1941-1948.” The mobile museum - one of two retrofitted school buses known as “bus-eums” - will visit the Hartland Cromaine District Library on Monday. The traveling exhibit includes a 25-seat theater where visitors can watch an NBC “Dateline” documentary, a 1945 U.S. Government color film and a short film created by the grandson of an internee. The exhibit also includes 10 display panels and four display cases and can accommodate approximately 50 people at a time. TRACES Executive Director Michael Luick-Thrams said visitors can expect to spend about 45 minutes taking in all the exhibit has to offer. “To be honest, the most common comment is incredulity,” Luick-Thrams said. “It’s not that they don’t believe us, they say that they didn’t know anjdhing about this.” One of the main reasons this chapter of American history remains under the public’s radar is that internees and the U.S. government personnel who interned them were sworn to secrecy. But Luick-Thrams is pleased with the progress the TRACES museum and its traveling exhibits have made. “It’s one of the most effective pedagogical tools I’ve ever seen,” Luick-Thrams said. “We’ve had over 70,000 people in 675 towns, in 12 states in the last three years. We’ve been to Nebraska cow towns, northern Minnesota logging camps and inner-city Chicago. We can go where the people are and we take them unknown histories and aspects of culture that shift their world view.” As a nonprofit entity, the museum and its staff must contain themselves to events before 1948, but Luick-Thrams says he especially enjoys the power of history to hold up a mirror to presentday society. “People have to know what happened,” Luick-Thrams said. “If you can intern members of the largest ethnic group in this country during a so-called ‘good’ war, you can intern any group during any war, or so-called national emergency, and say these Visitors watch a movie inside the Bus-eum - a traveiing exhibit on the internment of German g American civiiians in the United States during World War II.

He wasn’t disappointed. A puff on the hose by a Pinckney Community High School chemistry student turned the flame of a lit candle and some plain old white flour inside the canister into a burst of flaming “dragon’s breath.” “It kind of smells bad, but it’s nice when the flame comes out,” said 7-year-old Elizabeth Perry, Harrison’s classmate. “This is like so awesome.” This is a reaction shared every year by Pinckney Elementary and Pinckney High students during their annual Chemistry Day, a day when the older kids come to the younger kids’ school to teach them some of the mysteries of chemical reactions. “The first question I get every year from my students is, ‘When’s Chemistry Day?”’ said Pinckney High chemistry teacher Ruthann Schulke, who’s been doing the activity with her classes for 15 years. “They love it. They don’t realize how much the younger kids know until they get here. They’re a lot smarter than they think they are.” Roughly eight chemistry students, mostly juniors, pair up in each classroom to turn everyday things like hydrogen peroxide into “elephant toothpaste” and vinegar and baking soda into a carbon dioxide cannon, or use liquid nitrogen to make ice cream. “I want to be a scientist when I grow up,” Elizabeth said, after making a small plastic bag of “slime” to take home. That’s the reaction Pinckney Elementary Principal Yvonne Taylor loves to hear from her students on Chemistry Day. “These older kids are positive science role models,” Taylor said. “They see that science projects are fun and that cool older kids like them, too. It gets them interested in science.” Chemistry Day also gives the older students a taste of what Schulke does every day in finding a project to demonstrate, creating a lesson plan and testing it out before presenting it to the class. “They learn the preparation, and they learn the chemistry concept they’re teaching better because they are teaching it to someone else. Chemistry Day turned out to be everjdhing 17-year-old Pinckney High junior Rachael Ristau thought it would be. “The kids got so excited because they aren’t sure what’s going to happen when we start our presentation,” she said. “They are so cute. I hope they find chemistry fun and intriguing so they want to take it when they get to high school. It’s one of my favorite classes.” L e a n n e S m i th c a n b e r e a c h e d a t l sm ith @ l i v in g s t o n c o m m u n i t y n e w s . c o m o r a t 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 1 .

PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Boy Scouts rejuvenate town square's gazebo PHOTOS: HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THENEWS Luke DeLong, a Boy Scout from Troop 312, helps with the gazebo renovation in downtown Pinckney. The work is being completed just in time for Memorial Day. Funding donated by Save the Depot group, since that cause failed BY LEANNE SMITH News S t a f f R e p o r te r Visitors to Pinckney this weekend will notice that the gazebo in the Putnam Township Square looks a little fresher. Boy Scout 'Troop 312 has put the finishing touches on a service project to repair and rejuvenate the gazebo in time for the village’s annual Memorial Day activities. A special dedication is scheduled to sta rt Monday after the 1 p.m. parade ends in the square. “We’ve definitely had a good time,” said Scoutmaster Don McColl. “We want to have the Scouts more active and visible in the community so the boys learn more about community service. Scouting is all about doing a good turn daily.” Project funding is coming from a portion of the $14,000 raised by the now defunct volunteer group Save the Depot, which hoped to re- Glenn Cross, of Main Street Metal, volunteered his time to fit a top rail on the existing gazebo railing in order to satisfy building codes. hhbbebez^ It’s been four years since the launch of The Livingston Community News, the free, local weekly newspaper where “Your News is Our News.” We couldn’t be happier with the way you’ve invited us into your homes and businesses. And we look forward to solidifying this relationship in the years to come. But we didn’t want to let this milestone pass without saying “thank you" for sharing your stories with us and for letting us help your businesses grow.

Rick Fitzgerald Managing Editor THELIVINGOTON^ COMMUNITY NEWS store the old freight shed on the Lakelands Trail on County Road D-19, but has given up on that cause, “We felt it was important to get our money spent on a project that would benefit the whole community,” said Renee MacRitchie a Pinckney business owner and member of Save the Depot. “We were worried that if we didn’t do what we were supposed to do with the money we raised, the state would eventually take it.” The remaining few members of Save the Depot amended the group’s bylaws so the money raised can be used for other historical projects, MacRitchie said. “The park and gazebo are central to all activities in Navigator student Brent Patterson helps with grouting on the gazebo during a service project for Boy Scout Troop 312. Pinckney and the township, and it’s our greatest asset,” she said. “Every park event counts on the gazebo.” Save the Depot, which formed around 2000, suffered its first setback when the state Department of Natural Resources, which owns the building, estimated repairs at $350,000. Hopes rose again when the DNR made an offer to lease some of its properties to the townships, villages and cities they are in. Save the Depot joined Friends of the Lakelands Trail, which wants to lease the Pinckney and Putnam Township portions of the trail, but so far, that lease is mired in bureaucracy. Troop 312 has worked mostly on weekends since mid-April to remove, repair and reinstall the gazebo’s benches and rails; paint the structure; clean and fix its roof; install brick pavers and finish the brickwork on the square’s veterans memorial. “We are happy we have such great Scouts in Pinckney,” MacRitchie said. “They’ve done a great job.” Local craftsmen, such as brickmason Leo Felty and electrician Bob 'Vedder, as well as citizens and business owners, including Joel Begin from Brighton Stone & Fireplace, also helped. “We put in a 12-hour day last Saturday, and made great progress,” said Putnam Township Trustee Tom Benedetti. The square is owned by the township, which granted approval for the renovation. After it pays for this project. Save the Depot will apply its remaining funds to similar efforts, MacRitchie said.

Q , My wife and I are getting our estate plan done and f have heard about naming one’s bank as a successor trustee. Is this a common practice, and what are the possible benefits? —Ron S., Pinckney A , More and more families are turning to bank trust * departments to help them resolve the legal, financial, tax and personal issues that can arise from the loss of a loved one. Naming a bank as your successor trustee offers several distinct advantages to both you and your family. Traditionally, a bank trust department employs people with expertise in the areas of investments, record-keeping and trust administration to efficiently carry out the objectives of your trust. Additionally, these departments maintain relationships with local attorneys and accountants to handle all estate and tax planning issues. Bank tmst departments must keep trust assets separate from other bank assets and are required to maintain insurance coverage protecting trust assets against employee errors and omissions. 'These assets are subject to periodic audits and examinations by state and federal agencies - offering a further level of protection for the beneficiaries. And since banks are an ongoing business, unlike an individual trustee, they will not die or become unable to administer the trust. What’s more, bank trust departments remove many of the family confiicts that can arise from the loss of a loved one. Bank representatives have no emotional bias and, being immune to conflicts between . beneficiaries, can impartially and objectively carry out your personal wishes as dictated by your trust. Another common practice is to name a bank trust department to serve as co-trustee with an individual. This allows you to obtain the professional aspects of trust management provided by the corporate trustee, along with the personal involvement, especially in making distribution decisions for an individual who is a family friend or relative.

The never-ending social functions, from cocktail parties to poker nights and Friday fish fries. These events make it easier to find people who can become friends for life.T he fun on the golf course. Lounging by the pool. Easy access to private instructors for golf, fitness and tennis. It all seems like fairy-tale land, a dream come true to escape the monotony of the 9-to-5 work we^k. There’s still a country club life to be had in Livingston County. But in just the last three years, it has changed dramatically. Chemung Hills Golf Club in Oceola Township went public in 2004 and its future is in serious limbo. Oak Pointe Country Club in Genoa Township is in the midst of a painful .transition to a new clubhouse after a fire destroyed its original building in February. And the Lakelands Golf & Country Club in Hamburg Township is turning to creative marketing to attract members in a soft economy and a stagnant industry riddled with competition. For the first time in its history, the club set up a booth at the Novi Golf Show hoping to attract members. The trend is certainly not unique to Livingston County. Clubs around Michigan, and other states, are working harder than ever to stay attractive. The building boom of the 1990s added dozens of outstanding public courses, where golfers can get a private club experience for a one-time greens fee, not a sequence of monthly dues. The membership drive at Lakelands has paid off, according to head professional Eric Martin. He said the golf show appearance didn’t net many results, but a new introductory offer did, recruiting 35 new members. The introductory offer, which sold out, gives people an eight-month taste of the club without the long-term commitment. The price was $500 up front with $200 in monthly dues until October and a $50 monthly food minimum, along with additional driving range and lockerroom fees. Comparatively, the current Class A membership being offered costs $3,000 for initiation ($2,000 is equity and returned if you leave the club) and the monthly dues are waived for 2007. Other fees, such as storage, use of the range and monthly food minimums, still apply. “We are very happy” with our membership numbers, Martin says. “We are moving in the right direction. We are thinking out of the box.” The fire forced Oak Pointe management to get creative, too. Pulling together resources for the massive temporary structure was impressive, but still, it’s not to the level of service some members of a ClubCorp. facility have come to expect. Genoa Township resident Don Gressler, an Oak Pointe member for more than a decade, say his group of golfing fiiends are happy with it. “It looks like they made every effort for the facility to keep us happy,” he says. “But you’ll get a wide range of opinions on that matter (if SEE DEEGAN,C2 Brighton soccer's dynamic duo ELIYAHU GURFINKEL. THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEVYS Seniors Bri Avedisian, left, and Courtney Lord hope to lead the Brighton girls soccer team to a district championship next week over two-time defending state champion Novi. Senior forward, midfielder propel talented team BY JASON DEEGAN News S ta f f Reporter They are the dynamic duo for the Brighton girls soccer team. Senior forward Bri Avedisian is Brighton’s Batman, the star of the show. Opponents have been marking her every move since a breakout 29-goal sophomore season. Senior center midfielder Courtney Lord plays the role of Robin. She performs the less glamorous tasks, the hard tackles, the assists, the ball control, the running from end to end. She flies under the radar, but is just as important to the Bulldogs’ success. The two, along with the rest of coach Deepak Shivraman’s talented crew, make Brighton a threat in the district playoffs next week. For the first time, the Bulldogs (12-2-3 as of May 22) are in the same district as archrival Novi, the two-time defending state champs. The two proud programs squared off Thursday night with the Kensington Valley Conference title on the line (details weren’t available at press time), but the potential playoff showdown looms even larger next week. “We are starting to click as a team,” Lord said earlier this week. “We’ve been working really hard all season. I think we could have a good run.” Both Lord and Avedisian will go on to play Division I college soccer - Lord at Butler and Avedisian at the University of Michigan. They want to make a lasting impression with the program’s other seniors, Angela Curtis, Sally L’Esperance, Ali Nichols, Emma Pryser and Lauren Quinnette.

In just its second year, the MMGA, tucked off of Grand River Avenue in Howell Township, has grown into a popular spot. The gym’s competitive team recently made the impossible jump from worst to first in the Michigan Gymnastics Recreational League by ending the season undefeated. “The first time we were first (in a meet), we were blown away,” Rogers admits, while taking a break from her routines. MMGA owner Patty Usery opened the 10,400-square-foot facility, a former karate academy, in August 2005, so her 12-year-old daughter, Taylor, didn’t have to n4 < * drive to Okemos to train. Usery, of Fowlerville, hopes the MMGA becomes the feeding ground for a future gymnastics program at Fowlerville High School. “I’m ecstatic. I couldn’t fathom the idea we would be undefeated the second year out,” she says. “Even parents of the other teams will comment on our teams (and their improvement).

At press time, the Bulldogs were in a dogfight (no pun intended) with Lakeland and Hartland for the Kensington Valley Conference championship. Brighton and Lakeland were scheduled for a doubleheader May 23, but the results were unavailable. Hartland and Brighton probably haven’t seen the last of each other, either. The two stand at opposite ends of the bracket for the Division 1 district tournament at Swartz Creek. The Bulldogs must beat Holly at 3:30 p.m. May 29 for a shot at Fenton at 10 a.m. June 2. SEE BASEBALL,C2 C2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2007 SOCCER FROM Cl Girls team poised to make run for state championship five times, and this might be its last quality chance to contend. “As a senior, it would be the ultimate to get a state championship,” Avedisian says. “That would be the perfect icing on the cake.” Avedisian shoots, scores While most kids start playing soccer as young as 4, Avedisian was trying other sports. She didn’t get into soccer seriously until making the Novi Jaguars U-11 travel team. By the time high school rolled around, she was traveling and training with elite club teams. Her father, Brian, credits her Olympic Development Program training with helping his daughter’s game mature. “She’s had some great coaches along the way,” he says. “She just loves the game. She loves to play. That’s all she wants to do. The more she plays, the better she gets.” Avedisian’s 29 goals helped The o ther teams Like Brighton, the rest of the area girls soccer teams are underdogs at their respective district tournaments. South Lyon will likely meet the host Novi Wildcats on 7 p.m. May 31 at Novi Meadows Stadium. Howell meets Walled Lake Western at 7 p.m. May 29 for the right to play the Brighton-Hartland winner at 5 p.m. May 31. The finals are 1 p.m. June 2. Pinckney is surrounded by soccer powers at Livonia Churchill, playing Livonia Stevenson at 7 p.m. May 29. Fowlerville will host a Division 2 district tournament, opening with Linden at 6:30 p.m. May 29. propel the Bulldogs to the state title game in 2005. In a regional game against Grand Haven that season, she missed a breakaway. She rebounded with four goals. She leads the Bulldogs with 10 goals and four assists this season. “She thrives under the pressure,” Shivraman says. “The bigger the game, the better she performs. That has been her insignia the whole four years.” ■ Avedisian toured colleges across the Midwest and East Coast - Loyola University, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Villanova - but all roads led home. She follows former Bulldog stars Amber Berendowsky and Katelin Spencer to U-M. She says she will play with the Michigan club team this fall to allow her time to adjust to college life. “This will be easier for me to get to know the school,” she says. Lord of the midfield Courtney Lord is the third Lord sister to play center midfield for Shivraman. Kelly Lord and Kate Lord also were field generals for the Bulldogs and later at Butler. Courtney says the three siblings never trash talk about who’s best. “The only thing we give each other a hard time about is, T beat you in that tennis match or in euchre,”’ Courtney Lord says. Lord says she loved going to her sisters’ college games and getting advice fi'om them. “I wouldn’t be the player I am without them teaching and guiding me,” she says. “They paved the way for me.” Shivraman calls Lord “one of the more underrated players” in Michigan. He says each sister had different strengths. “The one similar trait is their passion for the game,” he says. “You can see it in their play, their work ethic. All three are similar in thenvision. They could see the run before the players make them. They are great in making intricate passes.” J a s o n D e e g a n c a n b e r e a c h e d a t j d e e g a n @ l i v in g s t o n c o m m u n i t y n e w s . c o m o r a t 8 i 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 2 . BASEBALL FROM Cl Hartland, Brighton have shown inconsistencies Hartland meets Brandon at 5:30 p.m. May 29, with Swartz Creek next at noon June 2. The finals follow at 2 p.m. Despite their glossy re cords, both the Eagles (24-9 as of May 22) and Bulldogs (19-5 as of May 22) have been inconsistent at times. Brighton has beat Hartland two out of three times, but the Eagles won the Shelander Classic with Brighton in the field. “We seem to be up and down,” Reck admits. “One game we play well and another we won’t. I hope we put Teams aiming for the top at softball districts From News s ta f f reports It could be all or nothing at next week’s softball district tournaments for area teams. Livingston County could have as many as three champions or none. The competition is that close, especially at the Swartz Creek district where talented Brighton (13-13), Hartland (15-13) and Fenton teams will duke it out. The Eagles face Brandon at 3:30 p.m. May 29, with the opportunity to meet the hosts at 10 a.m. June 2. The Bulldogs face Holly at 5:30 p.m. May 29 with Fenton awaiting the winner at noon June 2. The final is later that day at 2 p.m. Howell (22-8) aims to win its fourth straight Division I district title, this time at Lansing Everett. The Highlanders open with Lansing Eastern at 10 a.m. June 2, with the championship game to follow. Fowlerville coach Kathy De- Troyer believes this could be the year the Gladiators claim their first district title since the 1990s. The Gladiators (18- 9) play East Lansing at 4 p.m. May 29 at Williamston, with the hosts awaiting the winner at noon June 2. Pinckney (facing Ann Arbor Pioneer at 10 a.m. June 2 at Ann Arbor Huron), South Lyon (at Farmington Hills Mercy) and Whitmore lake (against Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard 5 p.m. May 29 in a division 3 district at Clinton) will need to pull some major upsets to make some noise. F rom N e w s s t a f f r e p o r t s together a winning streak. We’ve got to pitch and field better.” The Eagles, the preseason KVC favorite, were cruising along, then fell on their faces, losing five straight games. They’ve regained their strut with a seven-game winning streak. “We are feeling a lot more confident,” Hartland senior Alex Trojan says. “We were losing games we shouldn’t be losing. We came together in practice. Our coach had a talk with us. We just turned it around.” The o th e r teams Outside of Hartland and Brighton, the Fowlerville baseball team (19-6 as of May 22) has the best shot of the seven area teams to win a district title next week. The Gladiators will try to defend last year's championship against the DeWitt-Haslett winner at noon June 2 at Williamston. The final game follows. The Glads finished one game behind DeWitt in the chase for a division III title of the Capital Area Activities" Conference. South Lyon (9-16) travels to the tough Detroit Catholic Central district in Novi, Pinckney (6-16) goes to Ann Arbor Huron to play Ann Arbor Pioneer at 10 a.m. June 2 and Howell (14- 15) plays Lansing Eastern at Lansing Everett at noon June 2. In division 3, Whitmore Lake meets Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard at 5 p.m. May 29 at Clinton. P r e s e n t s ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Lindsay Garza ■ School: Fowlerville High. ■ Local ties: The 17-yearold senior moved from South Lyon seven years ago. ■ Sport: Track. ■ Top sports moment: She pole-vaulted 9 feet, 3 inches, a personal best, at Charlotte last year. ■ This season: She runs sprints, high Jumps, throws the shot and discus and also hopes to pole vault to the school record of 9 feet, 6 inches. ■ Favorite subject: Spanish. ■ School involvement: Students Against Destructive Decisions. ■ Community involvement: She helps with child care at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Fowlerville. BRIGHTON 7885 Grand River 810-227-1761 ■ Athlete I admire: Former Fowlerville state qualifier Vinne Tyle, who is coaching the Gladiator pole vaulters this spring. ■ Academics: 3.4 GPA. ■ Future: She will attend Baker College in Owosso to study nursing. Hartland is much like the Brighton team of a year ago. They have a deep pitching staff and they are experienced. With 10 seniors, the Eagles are playing with a sense of urgency. They’ve only won a handful of district titles, so getting one would be special. “It is very important. We have been looking forward to it the whole year,” Trojan says. GYMNASTICS FROM Cl Coach gets most credit for competitive team's success Livingston County now boasts five gymnastics academies with new facilities in the last three years - the Hartland Gymnastics Academy in the old Hartland High School on M-59, Bounce in the Hartland Sports Center on M-59 in Hartland Township, the Infinity Gymnastics Academy in Brighton Township and the High Flyers Educational Gymnastics Center in Genoa Township. Many with the MMGA competitive team, made up of 18 girls, credit coach Katie Conlan for their growth. Brea Rogers says the gym “is always a happy place.” “Everybody is in a good mood,” she says. “The coach is happy. It’s a good place to come. ... It’s nice to be just 10 minutes from home.” Coach Debbi Deyo, of Fowlerville, says she enjoys the extra space. Her old gym in Milford required the coaches and athletes to drag out equipment before practice and then put it back afterward. “The kids have fun here,” she says. “It’s not so strict. They are here to learn, but we do not yell at them.” J a s o n D e e g a n c a n b e r e a c h e d a t j d e e g a n ® i i v in g s t o n c o m m u n i t y n e w s . c o m DEEGAN FROM Cl Fight over Chemung Hills land continues in Oceola the temporary clubhouse is acceptable). Sometimes you just can’t make people happy, no m atter what.” Gressler says with a new clubhouse being planned, he’s excited for the future of the club. The same can’t be said at Chemung Hills. The 6,400- yard course has a long history - even the great Walter Hagen, one of the legends of the game, played there. The fight over the land continues to play out politically. In April, Oceola Township’s Planning Commission recommended denial of a request to rezone the 150-acre property so it could be developed as 286 single-family homes. The land owner, Chemung Hills Properties, contends it is no longer profitable as a course. Or, in golf terms, a triple bogey on a rainy day.

FRIDAY, JUN E 1,2007 rtuliiirftfiliiir www.m live.com County sobriety court enjoying early success P r o g r a m h e l p s a l c o h o l a b u s e r s s t r a i g h t e n u p , s t a y o u t o f j a i l BYTOMTOLEN New s Staff Reporter Livingston County District Judge Suzanne Geddis says the sobriety court that started five months ago already has achieved some successes. There have been so many that she intends to make it a permanent part of the 53rd District Court. Geddis took a leap of faith by instituting the program with no funding after she and several others underwent an extensive training program. She did it because she believed it was the right thing to do. The intent had been to procure grant money to provide a complete program with accompanying services. The county has had a drug court through the circuit court for several years, but until last November had not had a similar program in district court. Geddis finally got some funding recently in the form of a $45,000 grant from the state court administrative office in Lansing. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to provide funding for testing and treatment services for those who cannot pay for it themselves. Ryan Breece, a 19-year-old Hamburg Township man, is a prime example of the early successes of the sobriety court. Breece lives with his mother, who works full-time to support the small family. “My dad SEE SOBRIETY COURT, A2 JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELU.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Ryan Breece, 19, of Hamburg Township works in the kitchen at the Portage Yacht Ciub while enrolled in the sobriety court program, run by Livingston County District Judge Suzanne Geddis. Breece says Geddis never gave up on him and "just kept pushing so I got my (act) together." Driving force behind Diversity Club j Teacher and adviser Cathy Capy helps Howell students face challenges r She has also had her share of fielding challenges BY CASEY HANS N ew s Staff Reporter Diversity has been a mainstay for Howell teacher Cathy Capy, whether she is advising the student Diversity Club, challenging her English students with thought-provoking assignments or just being a listening ear. In the case of former student and teacher aide Krista Tarrant, Capy has been a mentor and role model. Tarrant is pursuing a teaching degree at Grand Valley State University, thanks to Capy’s influence, she says. “She’s amazing,” says Tarrant, who graduated from Howell High School in 2006. “She has been the best teacher ever. Seeing her and how she connects to students - 1 thought I would really like to do that.” Capy, 28, who has taught both French and English at Howell High, says she had planned to teach in an urban school district. Instead, she landed at Howell High School, where she has inspired classes of English students to aspire to a life of acceptance and diversity. She has been adviser to the school’s Diversity Club for the past five years - helping students through the challenges from the community over hanging the club’s diversity flag. She also has fielded challenges over optional books offered for her advanced English students, including “The Freedom Writers Diary,” by Erin Gruwell, among others. Her accelerated English students will be part of a documentary about the effect of “The Freedom Writers Diary” that will include a number of classes from around the country, including Atlanta, Ga., and New York. “I try to encourage them to think deep - don’t give me surface,” she says of her approach. Capy’s foray into diversity issues started long before she reached Howell. Such issues have long been important in her family, and she has traveled and seen different cultures, sh e , says. Capy also focused on diversity education while doing an internship at Lansing Everett High School. When she told her co-workers she was accepting a job in Howell: “They said, ‘Good job, do you have your white sheet?’ I knew nothing (about the Howell area’s history SEE CAPY,A4 JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS English teacher Cathy Capy (center, wearing a Diversity Club shirt) has been at the center of controversies sparked by the Diversity Club she advises and the books she uses in her classroom at Howell High School. Surrounding her are some members of the club including, from left, Stephanie Onderchanin, Susan Hill, Casey Schenkel, Amanda Hoskins, Maya Patel, Ana Shiemke, Matt Radick, Becky Turchanik, Alie Albert and Maura Foley. Diversity Club takes its message to students That message is one of tolerance, awareness and respect for others BY CASEY HANS N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r As a new crop of Howell High School underclassmen steps up to lead the school’s Diversity (?lub next year, their hope is that both students and those outside of the school will embrace the club’s message of tolerance. “I want to see more awareness. People know us as that flag group,” says Matt Radick, 16, who is finishing his sophomore year. “I want to break that. That’s not what we’re about.” What they are about is teaching people to be respectful of each other, whatever their differences. “I’ve learned to be more accepting of everyone,” says Ana ShiemMe, 16, who will be a senior next fall. “Be- SEE DIVERSITY CLUB, A4 Patel earns award and a place in diversity group's Hall of Fame Graduating senior lauded for leadership efforts in Howell club A Howell High School Diversity Club member, graduating senior Maya Patel, was the recipient of a recent award from the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity & Inclusion’s Leadership in the New Century, or LINC, program. Patel was named the LINC Student Leader of the Year. She was awarded a $500 scholarship and will be placed into the LINC Hall of Fame. According to MRDI’s Craig Anderson, youth program coordinator for LINC, Patel was selected because of her leadership on diversity and inclusion issues among high school students and also for her insight in a written essay on the topic. LINC is the Michigan Roundtable’s program that coordinates diversity issues in the state’s high schools. The Michigan Roundtable was formerly affiliated with the National Conference for Community and Justice, but recently split off as a Michigan-based agency and is now affiliated with the National Federation for Ju s t Communities. W h a t do club members think? ■ 'At one time I thought diversity was Just race and ethnicity. It's more than what you look like, it's what your personality is. I've heard a lot of (intolerant) comments around school that shouldn't be said.' Maya Patel, 17, graduating senior ■ The point of the flag wasn't to make people gay. Diversity is really important. We were really only trying to do good things and bring awareness.' Maura Foley, 17, graduating senior ■ 'I think that high school is a place when people are horribly rude to other people. The Diversity Club is really an important thing. We spread awareness and awareness is the step toward change. Even when the flag went up ... the word was spread.' Susan Hill, 15, finishing her sophomore year ■ 'You always hear, 'Don't Judge a book by its cover.' It's important to get to know people beyond the surface. It's taught me not to Judge people.'

Howell Precautions taken in mercury release Howell school officials took precautions May 24 when a thermometer broke in a high school classroom, spilling a couple of drops of mercury. School district spokeswoman Marybeth Roose said that the incident occurred about 9:30 a.m. in a food and nutrition class when the teacher pulled a broken thermometer finm a storage cabinet. Mercury thermometers have not been routinely used at the high school for several years, Roose said. Because the thermometer had been removed from its packaging, it could not be determined what type of thermometer it was. It was subsequently confirmed that mercury was spilled, Roose said. That led school officials to call the fire department, which called in the health department. Three classrooms with about 100 students were quarantined and the entire school was locked down for a little more than an hour to minimize any spread of mercury contamination by foot traffic. Roose said the affected classrooms remained out of use until health department officials checked the rooms after they had been cleaned. Students raise funds for homeless Howell High School Freshman Campus students raised $3,000 during their recent overnight event to raise awareness and money to help programs for Livingston County’s homeStudent inventors show creativity HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Fifty three students from Carmen Udell and Collen Harris' multiage third- and fourth-grade class at Country Elementary School in Pinckney recently became student inventors. Each student had to create an invention as part of a science class that was original in design and solved a problem. The students demonstrated their creative gizmos and gadgets to parents and other students during the "Invention Convention" in the school cafeteria last week. Here, third-grader Brittany Banks demonstrates her "Waffle Magic," used to cut a waffle into bite-size pieces. less. Sponsored by the Freshman Focus class, student council, class mentors, and teachers Cindy Perlman and Dana Ritenour, the second-year event in early May was an educational project for students who coordinated the effort. Some 41 students and five adults spent the night in cardboard boxes at the Freshman Campus in a simulation of the homeless experience. Perlman said students decided to donate money raised to the REACH program at the Salvation Army and to the Oakland Livingston Human Services Agency. They also collected 1,000 pounds of nonperishable food that was donated to Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston. Students will be honored for their effort at a recognition luncheon Monday. Livingston County Road Commission seeks bridge funds The Livingston County Road Commission is applying for state funds to replace four deteriorating bridges and rehabilitate a fifth bridge. Road commissioners approved the bridge projects at its meeting last week. Managing Director Mike Craine said that 95 percent of the funding would come from the state, and the other 5 percent from road commission funds. The funding is for the state fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, 2009. “That allows lead time to get the MDOT permits and right of way (if needed),” Craine said. Craine said he is optimistic that at least two of the submitted projects will be approved for funding. Those not approved will be resubmitted for the next year, Craine said. The projects, in order of priority, are: Grand River Avenue over the Red Cedar River, west of Fowlerville; Layton Road over the Red Cedar River near the Aisin Proving Grounds at the Handy-Howell Township line; Latson Road over the Yellow River Drain in Deerfield Township; Dean Road over the Yellow River Drain in Deerfield Township; and Hamburg Road Bridge over the Huron River near Winans Lake Road in Hamburg Township. County roads to be resurfaced The Livingston County Road Commission will spend SOBRIETY COURT FROM At Judge started program with no money passed away in the eighth grade, and my mom was gone all day at work,” he says. “I can’t blame any of it on my mom, but I had no structure in my life, and I just wanted to change,” Breece says. After a couple of alcohol-related driving violations, 53rd District Court Chief Probation Officer Francine Sumner gave Breece the option of jail time or enrolling in the sobriety court program. He chose the latter, and will graduate in August. “She told me sobriety court wouldn’t be easy, but I thought once I get out of jail I’ll probably be back, and I’d be in the same spot,” Breece says. Besides sobriety court, Breece also attended the Mid- Course Correction boot camp in Oceola 'Township and successfully completed that program. He has since returned as an instructor at the camp in order to help other youths going through similar situations. “I volunteered because I’ve been in their shoes,” Breece says. “Boot camp really helped me put my head straight. It helps them see the light at the end of the tunnel.” Breece says Geddis, who has been both tough and compassionate, has been a big help to him. “I like Judge Geddis,” Breece says. “They never gave up (on me). They just kept pushing, so I got my (act) together.” District Court Judge Theresa Brennan gives Geddis full credit for initiating the program and getting funding. “The court got the grant through her efforts,” Brennan says, adding that the money will help the court provide a full complement of services. “It’s very difficult to operate the sobriety court without any money, and the (funds) will allow the 'poor an opportunity to take advantage,” Brennan adds. Geddis says most cases that come to the district court can be traced to alcohol and drug abuse. “Ninety percent of our cases in district court are alcohol related, and you hear a lot of (prosecutors say), ‘(It was) domestic violence, and he was drunk at the time,”’ says Geddis. The program has strict criteria for admittance and automatically bars anyone convicted of a violent crime. Breece’s employer. Portage Yacht Club owner Tom Ehman, praises his young employee, who works in the club’s restaurant. “He’s a very good employee,” Ehman said. “We were aware of (Breece’s) past mistakes, and are impressed with his effort to mitigate them. He is making an effort to get things right.” Breece plans on attending Washtenaw Community College in the fall with the goal of becoming a athletic trainer. Geddis does not act alone in running the sobriety court program. She works in concert with an oversight team - consisting of assistant prosecutor Dan Rose, a couple of defense attorneys, a sheriff’§ department official, a therapist and project coordinator Matt Harris. The groups meets every two weeks to discuss the program and make adjustments. “What we try to do is decide what is best to help the individual, so when there is a relapse, we put our heads together and decide what the sanctions should be,” she says. “We also try to provide so much structure they don’t have time” to relapse. “The program has three phases,” Geddis says, adding the most intense is the first phase. “They are screened and assessed, assigned a therapist and counseling and must attend Alcoholics Anonymous at least twice per week,” Geddis says. “They must meet once a week with their probation officer, and they have to maintain a job or schooling, or find a job, or do community service.” Geddis says the court encourages those involved in the program to get an AA sponsor, consisting of a recovering alcoholic. “They are your support system,” she says. “We want (participants) to change their behavior, which often means changing their friends and habits; so it can be very isolating,” she says. The second phase is sbc months and is less intense, and the final phase is three months with still fewer restrictions. The program does have its drawbacks for those involved. “They lose their rights,” Geddis says. “(Police) can search their house without a warrant, they must submit to (breath tests), and if you relapse, the 90 days (of the first phase) starts all over again.” Although alcohol abuse is the primary focus, most who have been in the program also have a chemical addiction and some have had prior drug convictions. In the future, Geddis hopes to address another big, unaddressed problem: mentally ill people who break the law. “There is a huge overlap in drug and alcohol use and mental illness,” she says. The popularity of such special courts for mentally ill people is growing nationally, with the realization that a high percentage of mentally ill people end up in jail.

The purpose of the work is to increase the life expectancy of existing paved roads in the county, said Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine. The road projects include: Faussett ^ a d from Latson Road to Argentine Road in Deerfield Township; Latson Road from Clyde Road to Faussett Road in Oceola and Deerfield townships; Whitewood Road from M-36 to Shehan Road in Hamburg Township; Darwin Road from east of Patterson lake Road to Dexter- Pinckney Road. Oceola Township Township Web site being designed Township officials are hoping to have their Web site up and running before the end of the summer. “We can now see a product in place,” said Township Clerk Kathy McClean. A team of page designers and township officiffis has spent the past couple of months making page templates. Officials envision a Web site to answer basic questions about township functions and to allow residents access to property tax information. Wireless company wants to expand Township Supervisor Bill Bamber was recently approached by an unnamed private wireless communications company looking to expand its operations into Livingston County. The group, which is separate from the joint coalition working to bring free wireless to Livingston County, has contracted with Deerfield Township to erect an antenna on the water tower, and wants to do the same in Oceola. “They want to spread into the northern part of the county where people don’t get service,” said Bamber. He is awaiting a proposal from the company, which already operates in Flint and Fenton. Pinckney School board tries again to sell land Pinckney Community Schools will try once again to sell about 20 acres of vacant Putnam Township land on Farley Road. At its May 3 meeting, the district Board of Education unanimously supported relisting the property with First Realty Brokers of Brighton. The district is asking about $360,000 for the parcel, which is what’s left of about 50 acres purchased in 1991 for Farley Hill Elementary School, 8110 Farley Road. Selling the land would help the district reduce an expected $1.5 million budget deficit next year, said Superintendent Dan Danosl^. Officials listed the property for six months a year ago, but it didn’t sell because of the economy and slow property sales, he said. The property was targeted for another school building, but after Farley Hill was built, the Michigan Department of Enviroiunental Quality changed its rules so that any school with 450 or more students must be connected to a sanitary sewer system. The nearest existing sewer line is in Hamburg 'Township at Pathfinder School, 2100 E. M-36. Extending the service to the Farley Hill site would have to cross township borders. It would cost the district about $2 million, which it does not have, officials said. DPW taking out dead ash trees The village’s Department of Public Works is removing dead ash trees from Pinckney’s Vil- g lage Edge subdivision. The " area has lost about 50 trees to the emerald ash borer and likely will lose 50 more, said Dave Marshall, Pinckney’s DPW director. Village Edge residents who want to replace dead ash trees may purchase four- to sbc-foot red maple, white crabapple or Japanese lilac trees for $25 each fi’om Global ReLeaf of Michigan through a program set up by the village, said President Rebecca Foster. Details: 734-878-6206. Officials renew hauler's contract Pinckney officials have re- I newed the village’s contract with Mid-Michigan Rubbish of Stockbridge for pickup of residents’ garbage, yard waste and recyclables. The new five-year pact starts July 1 and lasts through | June 30,2012. Under its terms, the price residents pay for the services is dropping from $37.39 per quarter to $35 per quarter because fewer people than anticipated are using the yard waste pickup service, said Clerk Amy Felty. The contract, however, does add 3 percent cost of living increases in 2009 and 2011. Garbage is picked up weekly in the village. Recyclables are collected twice a month and yard waste is picked up twice a month from April to November. Details: 734-878-6206. VanBlaircum returns to Cemetery Board | Linda VanBlaircum has been appointed to another term on Pinckney’s Cemetery Board. 'The board, which is governed by the Pinckney Village Council, oversees the operation of the village’s cemetery on West ^ M-36. VanBlaircum will serve until May 2009. Police to charge for breath tests The Pinckney Police Department now will charge $10 for every preliminary breath test it does for those who must comply with court-ordered testing. In the past, the department charged Pinckney residents nothing for the service and charged nonresidents $5. The increasing demand for the tests, which are performed by police officers, led to the charge, said Pinckney Police Chief Denis Aseltine. The department ^ performed 109 of the tests last month and 145 in April 2006. From News staff reports F O R T H E R E C O R D Errors of fact will be corrected in this space.

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JU N E 1, 2007 A3 R ! !S 7 iS ! r S ? f r Ice rink plan is already undergoing adjustments Organizers shooting for Howell in 2010 BY LAURIE HUMPHREY N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r The look has changed, but the focus has not. Members of the Howell Downtown Development Authority are committed to bringing outdoor ice skating downtown by 2010, despite a recent request to rethink some aspects of the project. It would be Livingston County’s first public outdoor ice s i t in g rink. Adjustments already have been made to initial renderings that were unveiled last week for city and county officials. According to Norb Boes, local developer and member of DDA business development committee, feedback is just part of the process. A new set of renderings, incorporating local requests, are expected in a few weeks. “These guys (county officials) were all very positive about it,” said Boes. “I have yet to hear a negative comment.” County officials still need to OK the community project, which is planned for county property in front of the historic county courthouse and annex building on Grand River Avenue. County money will not be used to fund the $750,000 project. Boes, who built the Howell skate park on the Howell High School complex in 2005, said the business development committee is looking at multiple ways to fund the ice rink, focusing on contributions from the DDA and state and federal grants. The committee plans to apply for a grant from the Department of Natural Resources next April. “We’ll ask for $3.5 million. I don’t know that we’ll get all of it, but we’ll ask,” he said. Though dimensions for the project remain unsettled it is expected to feature a 150-footby- 70-foot outdoor rink along with a covered pavilion and service building that would house public restrooms, skate rental services and a Zamboni. Amy Connelly, Howell community development director, said the project will do many things for the city: provide family entertainment, get people moving during the winter months, and bring people downtown. ‘“This is a way to create interest and keep the economics of downtown healthy in the winter months,” she said. “January through April is slow for downtown merchants.” Plans for the local project are based on a success story in downtown South Haven. “They put in an ice rink directly across from city hall, and this year they added a pavilion. It’s been a home run,” said Boes. He was part of a local contingent that visited the Lake Michigan shoreline city last year to assess the possibility of duplicating the project locally. Though fees have yet to be set in Howell, if they use the South Haven model, entry would run $3 per skater, with an additional $3 per person for skate rental. Family memberships may be offered for $55.Boes expects the finished product will draw people to Howell from all over the county and beyond. “I believe this will be a countywide skating rink, and I think this is the best place to put it,” he said.

The day is designed to remove debris fi^m the river that prohibits its flow and could contribute to flooding on Ore Lake and Little Ore Lake. Grand Rapids’ Progressive Lake Management Co. also spent two days on the river south of the Hamburg Road bridge this week harvesting curly leaf pondweed, which also can restrict water flow, said Hamburg Township Supervisor Cindy Pine. The $7,000 weed harvesting project was conducted in partnership with Green Oak Ibwnship and coordinated by Bill Hahn, a Hamburg Township resident who serves on the township’s Flood Prevention Committee.

Hamburg police to relieve backups at M- 3 6 and Merrill An officer will halt traffic on the highway BY LEANNE SMITH N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r Several requests from Hamburg Township to state officials asking that something be done to relieve late afternoon weekday backups at M-36 and Merrill Road so far have done little more than spur a few traffic studies. Now, the township police department is taking action. Drivers going east and west on M-36 between 4 to 6 p.m. on Monday through Friday can expect to be stopped by an officer so backed-up cars on Merrill Road can turn out onto the state highway, said Hamburg Township Police Chief Steve Luciano. “There is a traffic problem there, and it is a safety hazard,” Luciano said. “And everyone around here knows it’s just getting worse.” As long as officers are not tied up on another call, they will step in and do traffic control if there are more than 10 cars backed up on Merrill Road, Luciano said. “When people are stuck in traffic and it’s taking them 30 minutes to get to the intersection, they take more risks,” he said. “They pull out without the appropriate clearance.” Township trustees have commented at several past board meetings that they’ve seen people tired of waiting to turn onto M-36 from Merrill Road make unsafe U-turns and create their own rightturn lane onto M-36 by jumping the curb. Hamburg Township Hall, as well as the police department, senior center and library are all located on Merrill Road near the intersection. Perhaps the biggest contributor to the afternoon backups this time of year is Manly W. Bennett Memorial Park, which contains athletic fields that host hundreds of youth soccer, baseball and football players. For several years, township officials have passed resolutions asking the Michigan Department of 'Transportation to study the intersection to see if it warrants a traffic signal. The Livingston County Road Commission has also made similar requests. MDOT did a study in March 2006 before activities started at the park, and it showed the intersection only met traffic volumes necessary for a signal five hours a day instead of the required eight. MDOT also said the intersection is not conducive to a signal because eastbound M-36 and Merrill Road only have single approach lanes. MDOT said it has applied for federal funding to add additional approach lanes on both roads, but money won’t be available until 2009. The road commission has agreed to do a study of its own at the intersection later this summer during peak park use, said Supervisor Cindy Pine. She hopes results from this study will prompt MDOT to take action. “We all just want the state to take a serious look at this intersection,” Luciano said.

That is evidenced by the increase in the number of people taking advantage of the Shared Harvest Food Pantry program, in which people pick out the items they need from a large selection, as they would at a regular grocery store. “'Twenty percent have never had to visit the food pantry before,” Ounanian says. ‘They could be middle-class folks who have fallen on hard times or who have become ‘house poor,’ or who have lost their jobs.” Ounanian says the Shared Harvest Food Pantry program has seen a 30 percent increase each year in the number of people it serves since 2003, and now feeds up to 500 households per month. The Gleaners program overall has provided 636,000 meals over the last four years. People are being asked to donate nonperishable foods, “especially high-protein like peanut butter, canned tuna, canned meats and macaroni and cheese, plus toiletries and laundry detergent,” says Michele Brant, executive director of the real estate association. Cash contributions are always welcome, because Gleaners, with its volume purchasing power, gets more “bang for the buck” that way. Brandt says Gleaners can feed one person for a day for just $1. Ounanian assures that all of the donated items will remain in Livingston County. “We process it and distribute it to 25 partner agencies in Livingston County,” she says. A good portion of the donated items go to the local food pantry, which feeds about 1,500 people per month. Those who can’t make it Saturday may drop off donated items at the food pantry anytime during regular hours. The pantry is located at 5840 Sterling Drive in Genoa Township, phone 517- 548-3710. Hours are Monday, Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon; 'Tuesday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttoien® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009.

That was the first reason why I got into (the Diversity Club). “Everyone has a history, it doesn’t mean you have to be stuck in that history,’’ she adds. “I thought, how better to create change than through the kids?” The Diversity Club has a special place in her heart and students share the bond. “Ms. Capy is fabulous. She cares about her students and cares about what’s going on. She’s the voice of reason in the club,” says Stephanie Onderchanin, 16, who is finishing her sophomore year and who has also come to school board meetings to speak in support of using “The Freedom Writers Diary” in high school classes. “I can’t imagine going through high school without an ally. She has made my high school experience better,” adds student Susan Hill. Casey Schenkel, 17, a graduating senior, says he appreciates Capy’s devotion to the club and to students. “She puts her heart and soul into this group,” he adds. Capy says their support has been critical to her. “They’ve seen me at my best and my worst,” she says of the Diversity Club members. “They’ve been there through the flag and other issues. Even the book controversy happened in my classroom, but they were there Cathy Capy ■ Age: 28. ■ Occupation: English teacher at Howell High School and adviser to the high school's Diversity Club and Club Benefit. ■ Residence: Lansing. ■ Family: Engaged to Jason Cantu; they plan to be married Oct. 20. She has two dogs, a beagle named Max Powers and a rescued pug named Rocco. ■ Education: Bachelor's degree from Michigan State University with a major in English and minor in French; master's degree from MSU in curriculum and teaching; pursuing a second master's degree in educational leadership from Grand Valley State University. ■ Community involvement; Active in her neighborhood and has tutored for Black Child and Family Institute. ■ Passions: Reading, camping, traveling and spending time with family. ■ Last book read; "Writing to Change the World" by Mary Pipher. "It is amazing," Capy said. ■ The ideal day: "Geocaching with my family while hiking through the woods." ■ Favorite movie. "The Shawshank Redemption." ■ Philosophy of life; "I put my heart and soul in whatever I do. There's no point in doing it if you're not going to do it with all that you have and all that you are." next to me at every board meeting, supporting me. Because this is a diversity issue.” Craig Anderson, youth program coordinator for the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity & Inclusion’s LINC (Leadership in the New Century) program has worked with Capy since she started as the Diversity Club adviser. “We see often quite a bit of turnover with advisers,” he says. “That’s not the case with Cathy. She has a real dedication, not just to the principles of the club, but to her students. I think the students can relate to her.” He says she also walks a line between advising and taking over the club. “Cathy does an exceptional job of cultivating student leadership,” he says. “She’s a good role model for other teachers.” At MRDI’s two annual events - a week-long summer camp in Holly and a fall DIVERSITY CLUB F R O M A1 Focus this year on combatting bullying ing in the club has made me more sensitive. It’s made me more confident.” Susan Hill, 15, who will enter her junior year in the fall, says the Diversity Club raises the bar on student behavior. “I think that high school is a place when people are horribly rude to each other,” she says. “We spread awareness and awareness is the step toward change.” The club, which now has about 15 members, was originally started in the late 1980s by now-retired social studies teacher and current city of Howell Mayor Pro Tern Steve Manor after students saw the need. The student group carried a low community profile until 2005 when some local residents complained about the club’s rainbow diversity flag that was hung in the school’s hallway. The flag has since been removed and is put away in the school’s office; the club can hang it during meetings. The club adviser is English teacher Cathy Capy, who has just finished her fifth year with the club. “I had to really push them. At first, I had to lead them,” says Capy about her first years with the club. “They are now really a self-run group. Very much a student organization.” This year, Capy says her students focused on combating bullies. In December and January, they talked with teachers about negative symbols, hate language and ways the entire school community can fight them. “They looked at things like bullying language, racial slurs and words like ‘retarded’ and ‘gay’ and how it affects all the students and teachers around them,” she says. Capy says she is especially proud of the club’s seniors who have taken leadership roles. “Seniors have done a really good job of training the underclassmen. It’s a real testament to the seniors,” she says. A future senior who plans to stay active is 17-year-old Alie Albert, who says her involvement has helped her to become stronger. “You feel less alone (with the club) than when you’re standing up by yourself,” she says. Howell High School career adviser Holly Emery was the Diversity Club adviser before Capy in the late 1990s and early 2000s. She says students for years passed out rainbow ribbons during Diversity Month in October without incident. They also did programs with the National Conference for Community and Justice (now the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity & Inclusion) - something that has continued under Capy. “We felt like it was a chance to show people ... we’re not what they think we are in Howell. It was very meaningful. I felt as if we were making a difference,” Emery says. Krista Tarrant, 2006 graduate of Howell High School and a Brighton Township resident, grew up in Dearborn before moving to the Howell area in the fifth grade, where she was surprised at how ethnically homogeneous the community was. “Coming to Howell was kind of a shock for me,” she says. “It was a hard concept for me to think that people would discriminate.” She joined the Diversity Club, where she took a leadership role. She says she has carried her experiences from the group to her college life at Grand Valley State University. Looking back now, Tarrant says the flag ultimately brought divisiveness to the school, which was not the intent. “All of the colors represented different colors and types of people,” she says. “We really wanted to bring the school together. It ended up dividing the school. But I think it definitely raised awareness.” Craig Anderson, who coordinates student programs at the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity & Inclusion, says he has been impressed with the Howell Diversity Club and how it has grown. He says that unique to Howell is how students have tried to include teachers in the process and how well they have reached out to other schools around metro Detroit. “There are some unique challenges in Howell because of what the community has been through,” he says. “Students in Howell have really risen to the occasion. I’m really proud of them.” Reach Casey Hans at chans@ livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2005. «This Pressure is Almost Too Much...))

Of the controversies over the Diversity Club flag and more recent discussions about books in Howell, Anderson says, “It’s a pretty good lesson for her students. She sticks to her ideals.” Capy’s influence extends beyond her classroom. She is scheduled to attend the F reedom Writers Teacher Training in Long Beach, Calif., June 15-19 after being invited by author Gruwell. In addition, Capy has been part of starting a student exchange with Hamady High School in Flint’s Westwood Heights School District between English classes - another chance for her students to stretch their minds. Capy’s philosophy is to treat students equally, but to be aware of their needs. “Kids are kids. The problems in an urban district are the same as a suburban district,” she says. “They’re carrying their entire life on their shoulders ... and just trying to get through (the day) to write an English thesis.” Reach Casey Hans at chans@ livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2005.

Oliveri has taken over a 7- year program that was started by his mother, Ann O’Reilly. He has placed collection boxes at libraries throughout Livingston County. “It was pretty easy to do, and it feels good running a program like this,” Oliveri says. In its first year, the program collected more than 1,000 flags and has si nee generated great community response. “When we went to some of the libraries this year, people already were dropping flags ofi^ for us,” says O’Reilly. Working with the Howell American Legion, Oliveri plans to retire the flags at the Legion’s Flag Day Ceremony which will be at about 7 p.m. on June 14. This is a ceremony that people may not know about, U.S. Federal Code states that whenever a flag is no longer in a condition fit for display that it is required to be destroyed in “a dignified way, preferably by burning.” Melissa Beck, an office manager at the Howell American Legion, is glad that young individuals such as Oliveri are showing such initiative. “It’s nice to see the younger generations doing something like this,” she says. Oliveri’s grandfather, also named Sam Oliveri is a a World War II veteran who also is impressed. “He’s a wonderful kid and I’m very proud of what he’s doing.” For more information on the ceremony, people may contact the Howell American Legion at 517-546-2534. High school freshman Sam Oliveri, whose grandfathers are World Warn Veterans, has taken over a community flag collection program started by his mother, Ann O'Reilly.

As seniors and juniors reach these occasions, they and their families may wish to have a celebration. Each year at this time, however, examples of inappropriate celebrations create concerns, problems, and sometimes tragedies in our community and throughout the nation. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, each weekend during prom and graduation season, nearly 50 teens are killed in car crashes. Every year approximately 5,000 young people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage drinking. From spring break to prom, senior trips to graduation day, there are plenty of opportunities where teens may consider taking risks, especially drinking and illicit drug use. Because of these things, the Livingston County Community Alliance with the support of Prosecutor David Morse, Sheriff Robert Bezotte, and the Livingston County public schools are making a strong effort to draw attention to the problem of underage alcohol use. It is against the law to sell or provide alcoholic beverages to anyone under 21 years old. A parent or other adult may face criminal penalties for providing alcohol to a minor or by hosting a party where alcohol is served or consumed by minors. Alcohol use by minors is dangerous and unnecessary. Students can and should enjoy these celebrations in a fun and alcohol-free manner. For these reasons, parents are urged to do everything possible to discourage the use of alcoholic beverages at parties and other similar events. Parents are the most powerful influence when it comes to keeping teens away from alcohol and illicit drugs. Teens who are monitored by their parents are less likely to use drugs and engage in other risky behaviors. Help keep prom and graduation activities safe by asking questions about our teens’ plans and talk to them about how to say no to alcohol and illicit drugs, while still having a good time. All parents are concerned with the well-being of their children and so are we. Our best wishes to you and your student for a bright future.

Denise Rupp of Novi, the mother of Jessica Fear, said Leonard James Westervelt, 43, proved by his silence that he is not sorry for the crime. “It shows he has no remorse for what he did,” Rupp told reporters outside the courtroom. “This is a horrible crime.... The family was just torn apart - ripped - never to be made whole again,” Livingston County Circuit Judge Stanley Latreille said in sentencing Westervelt to 28-70 years in prison for second-degree murder. Westervelt also was given two-four years in prison for larceny in connection with the theft of the cash register keys. Fear, 21, was working alone at a service station just off I- 96 early on Sept. 9,2003, when approached by Westervelt, who, after a brief exchange, stabbed her 16 times. Fear was the mother of a 5-yearold girl who now lives with her father. Westervelt, an acquaintance of Fear’s, was haunted by the slaying, later admitting to his niece he killed Fear, while insisting that he “loved” her. Police arrested Westervelt in January 2006 after a lengthy investigation by the Livingston County Major Crimes 'Task Force. He pleaded guilty April 24. Westervelt will be 71 years old when he is eligible for parole. Prosecutor David Morse said his office would be there “to see he doesn’t see the light of day.” Rupp also vowed to be at the first parole hearing in 2035, should Westervelt still be alive, to plead that he not be released. Westervelt’s attorney, Joseph Brehler III of Lansing, had no comment after the May 24 sentencing. Tom Tolen can be reached at 810- 844-2009or ttolen@livingston communitynews.com.

After 22 years of serving the community, the Brighton restaurant that raises funds for local projects will close because of structural problems in the century-old building in which it is housed. It is located at 132 Brighton Lake Road, next to the First United Methodist Church, which sponsors the restaurant. “The roof is far beyond simple repair, requiring work worth at least $70,000,” says Aria McPeek, one of the volunteers who helps run the Red Balloon. “The foundation is ancient and crumbling and would have to be completely replaced. Combined with the cost of roof repairs, it would be price-prohibitive to our limited funds.” McPeek says First United Methodist Church owns the building and church leaders have been anguished over the decision. Since 1986, the all-volimteer staff at the Red Balloon has served lunch and donated all proceeds to local charities including Gleaners Community Food Bank, LACASA, the Women’s Resource Center and Hospice of Livingston County. Since. 1992, volunteers have served more than 50,000 meals and donated more than $100,000. According to the Rev. Gilson Miller, senior pastor at the church, “The Red Balloon has always involved the whole community, both as volunteer workers and as customers.” In an average year, more than 100 volunteers, many of whom come from local churches, have helped run the restaurant with responsibilities ranging from cooking and waiting tables to working as cashiers and dishwashers. All the food is homemade, and specialties include quiche, sandwiches and a special friendship tea, which also is sold separately at the restaurant. The name Red Balloon came from a Pentecost Sunday celebration begun by Richard Cheatham, former pastor of First United Methodist. On that particular Sunday, each person was given a red balloon to carry out into the community to spread a sense of happiness. The restaurant’s last official day of operation will be Friday, June 15. It’s open Wednesday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.; reservations are recommended. Call 810-227-2300. The Red Balloon Tea Room in Brighton, which donates all its profits to local charities, will close Ju n e 15 because n e c e s s a ry re p a irs to its building are too costly.

This week, Somewhere In Time Consignment Shop moves into BSG Gifts at 312 W. Main St. “It’s two stores in one space,” said Dan Szymansld, who owns both stores with Randy Howell. BSG’s line of glassware, chocolates and other giftware will be complemented by Somewhere In Time’s lineup of antiques, end-ofrun, consignment and discontinued items, Szymanski said. The store, which opened in the same location as Brighton Stained Glass in 1993, will expand into unused main floor space, from 1,700 square feet to 2,400 square feet, he said. Somewhere In Time’s move was occasioned by the sale of the building in which it was located, he added. “This works out well because some people are looking for gifts and some are looking for affordable home decorative items and we’ll have both in one store,” Szymanski said. The new name? BSG Gifts and Somewhere In Time Consignment Shop, naturally. To complete this round of relocations, BSG’s neighbor, Homespun Country Creations, will move from 332 W. Main St. in downtown Brighton into Somewhere In Time’s former quarters at 120 W. Main St. “We’ll be getting more space in our new home,” said Homespun’s owner, Debbie Laruwe. Closing was scheduled for this week, with the move planned for the end of June, Laruwe said. Hours: 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday-Wednesday; 10 a.m.-S p.m. Thursday and F r id a y ; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. S a t urday; Noon-4 p.m. Su n day. Address: 312 W. M a in St., Brighton. Phone: 810-220-1300.

The franchise re staurant, scheduled to open by mid-June, is owned by Tom and Michele DiAngelo, who also own a Marco’s Pizza on Old US-23 in Brighton Township. The restaurant will feature the newest Marco’s design, with a stone arch over the entrance, DiAngelo said. Marco’s will occupy the building on the corner of Grand River Avenue and Court Street that began life as a Standard Oil gas sta tion in the early 1940s and later housed the Victorian Deli and still later, Buzzie’s Deli, Tom DiAngelo said. The menu will be a car-, bon copy of the menu in the Brighton Township store, DiAngelo said. “We offer pizza, subs, chicken wings, Italian salad, chicken bacon ranch salad, cheesy bread, cinna squares and Coke products,” he said. The building, owned by Jim Lamb, is in the process of a complete overhaul, DiAngelo said. Hours: 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 11 a.m.- midnight F rid a y and S a tu rday; noon-11 p.m. Sunday.

Wild Bird Center joins Brighton mall That chirping sound you hear in the vicinity of the Kroger store near US-23 in Brighton Township is probably the a re a ’s newest bird store. The Wild Bird Cente r opened April 19 in the Brighton Crossing shopping center. Billed as the “ultimate backyard nature store,” the store sells a complete line of birdseed, feeders, birdbaths, houses and unique gifts - plus good advice, according to owner Lisa Haanpaa. A grand opening celebration is in the works for June 7-9, during regular store hours. At 4 p.m. June 8, the Orga- Hawkins PTO takes a business approach to fundraising Organizers find new approach is a winner in amount of money raised for programs BY LISA CAROLIN N ew s S ta f f Reporter With school districts in Livingston County and around the state facing more budget cuts, some Parent Teacher Organizations have begun acting more business-like in their operations and fundraising efforts. That’s the case with Brighton’s Hawkins Elementary School PTO which is run by parents Susanne Zaborowski and Joanne Giardini. “We’ve changed our operating system to become like a little business,” says Giardini, who works in sales. “We do our own weekly newsletter for parents and charge for ads. We’re getting business cards from parents and a lot of reciprocation from the community.” During the current school year, the Hawkins PTO has funded field trips, seminars, two computers, two network printers, six karaoke machines to use in teaching phonics, a lending library, higher-level reading books. Math Touch games to enhance counting skills, a BucketFillers program, and many activity nights. Parent Vanessa Uburox, whose family recently moved to the Brighton area from California and has a first- COURTESY, HAWKINS PTO The Hawkins School PTO paid for a special-interest day earlier this month at Brighton's Hawkins Elementary. The topic was health and fitness, and a few members of the Detroit Ignition soccer team visited the school. 'We do our own weekly newsletter for parents and charge for ads. We're getting business cards from parents and a lot of reciprocation from the community.' Joanne Giardini, Hawkins Elementary PTO co-leader grader at Hawkins, says she’s thrilled with all the Hawkins PTO does. “The PTO does so much that helps the kids get a better education,” says Uburox. “They organize volunteers, and get parents to come in and conduct everything from art history lessons to the mileage club, which gets kids more physically active at recess.” Giardini says the Hawkins PTO has received money from the Support our Schools program run by Amera Mortgage Corp. in Brighton. Customers designate local schools to receive $250 from each mortgage, and $750 has gone to the Hawkins PTO, which also has received a number of donations from a similar program through Todd’s Services. “Teachers asked the PTO to pay $3,000 for a math program that would have typically been paid for by our school budget,” says Giardini. “Not anymore. When our principal Jack Yates needed a new printer for his office, he came to the PTO, and we found a parent who donated a printer to him. Jack has given us a green light to handle things as we see fit.” “The communication has never been better between parents and the PTO at Hawkins,” says Yates. “What a dedicated group of people the PTO is, and they want what’s best for all kids at Hawkins. Right now our budgets are frozen, and they’re stepping up where there’s a void promoting programs like the Bucketfillers, and our special interest day about health and fitness.” Last week, the Hawkins PTO organized the FUn Run and Ice Cream Social to raise money for new playground equipment. The Hawkins PTO’s total budget for the year is $55,000. It has taken in $30,000 and spent $20,000. Hawkins has a total of 575 students. Giardini says she has received calls from other PTO leaders, including those at Brighton’s Hilton and Hornung Elementary Schools, looking for suggestions for their PTOs.

P TO w ill f ill e le m e n t a r y s c h o o l 's e m e r g e n c y s u p p ly b u c k e t s BY U S A CAROLIN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r The PTO at Hawkins Elementary School is filling another void. It is buying all the missing items for the schools’ emergency supply buckets that will be placed in every classroom in the school. Schools have to be prepared for everything from bomb threats to lockdowns and that’s the purpose of the buckets. The Brighton school district’s Safe School Committee is working on the district- wide project, and empty buckets have been donated by The Home Depot. “This has been our pet project for a long time,” says Randy Swain, parent liaison to Brighton’s Safe School Committee. “These are mini survival buckets in case students are stuck in the school buildings.” Items to be included in the buckets are flashlights with extra batteries, hand sanitizers, heavy clear plastic sheeting, silver duct tape, white garbage bags, band aids, ace wrap and gauze bandages, instant cold compresses, scissors, toilet paper and wet wipes. Swain, who is the mother of five children, says she believes in getting kids involved in projects such as this, and several student councils at Brighton’s elementary schools are taking an active role. Hawkins Elementary School Principal Jack Yates says the items are important. “We have some of the supplies coming in like rubber gloves from the school nurse. If we were stranded in the building for some reason, the buckets would have what we’d need and could even be used for taking showers,” he says. The Safe School Committee is looking for donations from parents, and can be reached by calling 810-299- 0140. nization for Bat Conservation will bring a bat display to the store. The celebration will be capped on June 9 with a display of predator birds from the Howell Nature Center. “I hope we become a community resource,” said Haanpaa, who decided to open her franchise store because of her avid interest in birding.

We see them hanging out at the Mill Pond in Brighton and assume they are up to no good. We look at skate parks in Howell and Brighton and can’t imagine that this is a good thing for the young people in the community. We look at their droopy jeans or midriff-bearing tops and wonder what the statement is they are trying to make with their trendy fashions. We need to look a little deeper. While we tend to “see” the skateboarder and kids hanging out in the clothes we would never wear, we don’t tend to “see” the teens who are helping younger students with reading, raising money for any number of charities or organizing blood drives in their schools. We want to help you “see” these responsible young people and there have been several stories lately that might open a few more eyes. In this edition of the paper, there’s a stoiy on Page A1 about students working to foster more tolerance in the community and there’s a story on Page B3 about a Girl Scout troop that collected DVDs to donate to patients at Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor. On Page B5 there’s a story about the Howell High Interact Club that donates more than 1,600 hours of community service each year to various local groups and agencies. Last week, there was the item about the five Howell High marketing students who helped to raise $1,800 for the Livingston United Way. Two weeks ago there were the stories about our first Young Citizen of the Year award winner and three finalists. All of those students have made significant contributions to the community, outside of their many school activities. They all provide a different way to “see” the young people of today. Cheers: To the Livingston Arts Council and all the contributors who have helped to make the first-floor renovations at The Opera House in downtown Howell a reality. The gallery space on the street level of the historic structure was reopened to the public during the recent Howell History Days celebration. This structure with its rich history is a gem more than worthy of the time and money going into its preservation. Now we can look forward to a renovation upstairs to bring the opera house back to its original ^ory. Jeers: To state legislators for not making school funding a priority. While I’m sure every representative and senator wants Michigan schools to be the best they can be, they have lacked the intestinal fortitude to find a more stable and equitable way to finance public education. It must become a priority and the fix must be more than the smoke and mirrors being used to balance this year’s budget. The future of our youth - and the future of the state - depends on it. Cheers: To Rite Aid officials for having the good sense to hire much of the former Pinckney Pharmacy staff to work in its new Pinckney store. It’s always sad to see a local business pushed out by a major regional or national retailers. But in this case, customers in the Pinckney area will be happy to learn that pharmacist Robert Phipps, one of the owners of Pinckney Pharmacy, will become pharmacy manager for Rite Aid.

Search is on for summer bargains PHOTOS;JAMIECHARBENEAU-PISELLA,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Harriet Robson and her daughter, Sarah Robson, both of Cohoctah Township, exciaim over a set of dishes they found at a garage saie in their community. The iongtime garage-saie shoppers say iooking for bargains al fresco is a reiaxing way to spend time together. T ra d itio n a l y a rd s a le s e a so n b e g in s a s sh o p p e rs sn a p u p o ld tre a s u re s BY ST EPH EN IE KOEHN News Special Writer Bargain hunters: Start your engines. Garage sale season is in full swing, with this weekend possibly one of the biggest of the year for these informal household sales of just about anything you can imagine. Hamburg resident Jessica Ferrera thinks the weekend after Memorial Day is “the biggest one” for these sales, also known as “yard sales,” “moving sales,” “rummage sales,” “tag sales,” or “junk sales.” Ferrera and her sister, Christine Ftiller, of Fenton, were taking the measure of some area sales on a recent Thursday. “The two of us meet every Thursday to go to garage sales,” Riller says. That’s because Thursday is the traditional starting day of a weekend garage sale and it is considered the best day by folks who like to paw through other people’s castoffs. “Thursday is when all the serious garage-salers go, before everything is picked over - and the earlier, the better,” says veteran garage-saler Robin Clifford, of Brighton Township. It’s also when the dealers go to snap up the good stuff before the rest of us have a chance - although many who have garage sales won’t sell to dealers. The season runs roughly April to October, depending on the weather, Clifford says. There is no rhyme or reason to what might be offered at a garage sale. “The good stuff might be anywhere, Clifford says. “I found an Above, signs in the Brighton area point the way to many garage saies nearby.

HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The color guard from Pinckney VFW Post 419 leads the Memorial Day parade along Main Street through Pinckney to the town square. BY GORDIE TAYLOR News S ta f f Rep orter While Memorial Day is usually considered the unofficial first day of summer, it has a special meaning to many Livingston County residents. Parades honoring those who served in the military were found all over the county, with veterans and community members watching together. One of the veterans in attendance for the Brighton parade was Ernie Pearson. Pearson served in the Korean War for four years as a member of the Korean Military Advisory Group, a unit of the U.S. Army that helped train South Koreans for battle. He is now a member of Brighton VFW Post 4357. Pearson was pleased with the amount of support shown for U.S. military personnel. “It makes me feel good that (people at the parade) are supporting the troops. Flags mark the graves of veterans in the Pinckney Cemetery on Memorial Day. GORDIE TAYLOR It’s really great.” Even after the parades finished, people across the county showed their respect for fallen soldiers at local cemeteries. Jeff and Madonna Teachout spent Monday morning strolling through the cemetery in downtown Pinckney, admiring the display of American flags at the headstones of war veterans. “It’s amazing to see how many people have served,” said Jeff Teachout. “Everybody should roll through a cemetery to see how many people have served our country” With all the retail sales and barbecues associated with the threeday weekend, both Jeff and Madonna Teachout are glad people still remember the true meaning of the holiday. “It’s even more poignant to pay respects with what is going on right now,” said Madonna Teachout. Sandy VanBlaircum shares the same beliefs, but uses the holiday to honor the sacrifice made by her late husband, who served in the Korean War. “I think (the respect for veterans) is excellent, especially right now.” Even as the sun went down and the lakes cleared Monday evening, the display of patriotism across the county gave war veterans a well-deserved thank-you.

Scouts collect DVDs for kids in hospital BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News S ta f f Rep o r ter The generosity of six young girls has the potential to lift up hundreds of people in their saddest hours and could be the making of a good movie. But in the case of Girl Scout Troop 1163, they weren’t interested in making a movie, but delivering them - a total of 165 to the University of Michigan’s Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbbr. Movies were delivered to the hospital last week, following the troop’s DVD collection drive. The event took place May 19 at the Blockbuster video store at 120 W M-59. Girls manned a booth at the local movie retailer for five hours. Kelsey Tokan, a 12-year-old Girl Scout from Highlander 'Way Middle School in Howell, said she thought the DVD drive was a good idea. “When people are sick and have nothing to do, they can feel bored,” she said. “Now they can watch a movie.” Each year, scout troops across the country are requir^ to take on multiple service projects. Troop 1163, representing Highlander Way and Three Fires middle schools of Howell, St. Joseph Catholic School in COURTESY, GIRL SCOUT TROOP 1163 Girl Scouts who collected DVDs for Mott Children's Hospital include, from left: Kylie Copeland, Kate St.John, Natalie Peterson, Sarah Kelly, Danielle Huff and Kelsey Tokan. Howell, and Hartland Middle School at Ore Creek in Hartland Township, is no different. The service project benefiting the young patients came from a brainstorming session about the Bronze Award. “It’s the highest level a junior Girl Scout can achieve.” says troop leader Joanne Huff. “It requires 15 hours of planning, carrying out (a project) and raising funds. “'The girls really wanted to do something for kids,” Hufi' adds. So, she called Diane Schember, coordinator for Mott’s community relations department, to assess the needs. “She said they desperately needed DVDs.” The local scout troop donated enough new and used ageappropriate DVDs for every patient in the hospital. “There are 140 beds at Mott, so even if every child takes one movie, there would be enough,” Huff says. According to Schember, it’s not just patients who will benefit, but their families, too. “It gives them the opportunity to just sit together” and focus on something other than the illness. For children battling cancer, or other life-threatening issues, they could be in the hospital for months,” she explains. According to Huff, the girls gained a lot from this service project. “They take going to the movies and going out with friends so for granted ... then they learned that a lot of these kids in the hospital cannot be in contact with the outside world. “It was an important lesson,” she says. M u r d e r m y s t e r y d in n e r p la n n e d a t H o w e l l l ib r a r y June 8 event will feature Italian meal and a New York City setting BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News S ta f f Rep o r ter Spots are filling quickly for the Howell Carnegie District Library’s first murder mystery dinner set for Friday, June 8. “Pasta, Passions and Pistols,” will transport game players to a little eatery in New York City. “Restaurateur Guiseppe (Pepi) Roni is found murdered in the kitchen ... His friends and family have gathered to pay their respects to Pepi and eat a feast in his honor. One of them is a murderer,” says Holly Ward Lamb, Howell library employee and program creator. Lamb began planning the murder mystery event after one of last year’s events, according to Cyndi Lieske, community relations coordinator for the library. Explaining how several local moms came out in 2006 for Clue night. Lamb identified the need for a “fun night out for adults.” “And it’s a cheap night out,” Lieske adds, citing the $10 fee. Registration, open to people 18 years and above, covers a catered meal of mostaccioli, breadsticks, salad and beverage by C.C. Catering in Brighton, as well as the library program. “It’s going to be so much fun,” says Lieske. Advance registration is required, and limited to 50 people. Lieske doesn’t know when, or if, the library will host a future murder mystery dinner saying that program coordinators will assess future plans once this event has been completed. “We will respond to what the community wants and needs,” she says.

PROGRAM SUPPORT The Women's Resource Center needs volunteer help for the Women's Resource Center, GARAGE SALES FROM B1 I Sunny days bring out more happy garage sale shoppers kinds of things, Clifford says. She rarely sells anything for less than double what she paid for it and often gets at least 10 times her purchase price at auction. Like many serious garagesalers, Clifford makes out a list Wednesday of the sales she intends to shop Thursday. She tries to order the sales geographically - even more important now, given the high price of gasoline, she notes. “In Livingston County, you can’t just drive around aimlessly, looking for sales. In places like Royal Oak, where it’s all a residential grid, you can do that, but not here. It’s still too rural.” Not surprisingly, sunny days bring out more shoppers and garage sales tend to open, on average, a halfhour earlier, Clifford says. “In good weather, people wake up early, they’re feeling happier - and they’re likely to spend more,” she explains. But in inclement weather, “the diehards go out anyway,” she adds. If you are the seller, preparing for a garage sale is a whole lot of work, which may or may not be worth the effort. You might make $1,000 or more, or you might make less than $100. It depends upon a number of variables, including who’s shopping for what, what the weather’s like and what other events may be taking place the same weekend. “You lose a week out of your life,” says Sharon Murlick, of Brighton, who has does well enough to have a garage sale every year, this year with the help of sister-in-law Joyce Laatsch, of Saginaw. “I go through everything in the house and clean out my closets,” Murlick says. “I always lose about 5 pounds,” says Laatsch, who had her own garage sale a month ago. “It’s good to have them early in the season, when there is that pent-up demand.” Some inveterate garagesalers say they don’t have any particular reason for their hobby. “’We’re not looking for anything in particular,” says Harriet Robson, shopping recently with her daughter, Sarah Robson, at a garage sale in Cohoctah Township. “I buy a lot of clothing,” says Robson, who has four children and five grandchildren. “When my oldest daughter was in high school, I asked her if it bothered her that I bought clothes for her at garage sales. She said ‘Heck, no. Mom. I have more clothes than anyone I know.’ ” “It’s also our relaxing time,” says Sarah Robson. “My husband says it’s cheaper than therapy,” adds Harriet Robson. CATS FROM 81 t June is Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat month at humane society need.” Mews warns the people placing those advertisements that some respondents may use the animals as snake food or abuse them or breed them, w which compounds the population problem. “They may also sell them to research labs or as bait to train fighting dogs,” says Mews. “If you place an ad for animals, charge some fee and ask people to sign a contract that the animal will be spayed or neutered, and get references from a veterinary clinic. Get a copy of their identification and a valid telephone number. If they don’t have anything to hide, they’ll be willing to give you all that.” Mews says people who respond to ads for free kittens actually spend more money than if they adopt from the Humane Society, which does spaying and neutering, imbeds microchips in the animal, administers ageappropriate vaccinations, and gives each animal a collar and fi-ee food. June is Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month and the Humane Society of Livingston County is offering special rates on adopting adult and senior cats. Mews encourages people to consider adult cats because they are less work than kittens, but are still playful, more settled, and many have spent time around children, dogs and other cats.

THE L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N IT Y N EW S FRIDAY, JU N E 1, 2007 B5 ' S tu d e n ts a re re a lly a glass a c t w h e n It comes to th e ir w o rk s o f a r t Many didn't think they could do any art, teacher says BY L IN D A THEIL News Special Writer Thirteen-year-old Jordan Haas has some creative decorating plans for a bathroom at her home that involve glass tile. “We’re going to do our walls and floors and I’d like to do some mosaic around a mirror,” Jordan explains. The eighth-grader learned the skills she will need to tackle that project in a semester-long, unified arts class at Fowlerville Junior High School. She won her confidence when her mosaic “Blue Sun” placed third in the young artist division of Delphi Glass Corp.’s annual glass competition in Lansing. The juried competition is staged Matt Bonnville, 14, displays a tabletop that he made. Kyle Kline, 14, paints the sides of his U.S. Lizard. annually in April which is National Art Glass Month. The young artist category is for en ti^ ts aged 18 and younger, says Delphi store manager Lisa Parks. “We want to encourage creativity at all levels,” Parks said. “The young ai:tist projects are always some of the best because they’re uninhibited; they always do some of the most exciting work” Jordan created her winning artwork on a sunburst shaped composite board. She surrounded a centrally placed beveled mirror with Venetian tiles and cut glass in a monochromatic blue color scheme. “I like to do mosaic because I’m not really good at drawing, but I like to do patterns,” Jordan says. “My whole room is blue; I thought this would look cool - all the same color with different shades of blue.” Jordan’s instructor. Sue Hassenzahl, is a professional glass artist and veteran teacher who has taught in Fowlerville for 18 years. Her students have explored the glass art materials at Delphi and entered the annual competition for several years. She also takes her students to craft stores to show them the range of items they can cover with glass mosaic from bowling balls to vases. A student this semester is covering an olive oil bottle he purchased from Michaels craft supply store. “That little glass bottle is so intricate and beautiful,” Hassenzahl says. Dustin Hicks, 13, set the bottle with tiny, individually cut, diamond- shaped mirror tiles and blue glass chips as a gift for his mom on Mother’s Day. “I like the color blue, and I thought the mirror looked cool,” Dustin says. “I think it turned out pretty good.” Austin Carr, 13, is making a tool box display case for his step-father who collects wrenches. “He collects mostly John Deere wrenches, so I did it in John Deere colors - mostly grass-colored green and a bright yellow,” Austin said. “I’m happy with it so far. I’ve got a lot of work to do on it, but I like how it’s coming along. If you put your mind to it, anything could be art.” Austin also has worked on stained glass in his 4-H club. His classmate, Elizabeth Archer, 14, plans on making some pieces for the county fair this summer. Although 4-H rules preclude submission of the work Elizabeth is making in the classroom, the rooster mosaic she is working on is a masterpiece. Subtle shades of red and brown glass cut in long, graceful shapes confidently evoke the emperor of the barnyard. “It’s a breed of chicken called an Americana; it has all sorts of different colors in it,” Elizabeth says. “I like the shapes because they look like tail feathers. I didn’t use squares because I like shapes and I like things to look real.” Hassenzahl is delighted that her students enjoy sharing her challenging medum. “There are so many avenues in glass that people can use as a way of expressing their feelings,” Hassenzahl says. “I want to make kids aware of this art Cody Chesterfield, 14, glues pieces of glass to his lizard-design creation.The project is part of the curriculum in Sue HassenzahTs unified art class at Fowlerville Junior High. PHOTOS BY; JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS form and all the possibilities of this art. I just love teaching it to them. They get so excited. I think children need to be exposed to something more than just pencils and paint. The kids say, T didn’t think I could do art, but I can do this and it’s so much fun.’” Recently, a former student, Jennifer Mlson - who graduated from nursing school this year - donated glass and materials to Hassenzahl’s class at a time when they are very much needed. » Howell students volunteer thousands of hours to their communities through club Interact Club leads students to service BY CASEY HANS News Staff Reporter Without the nearly 50 students in the Howell High School Interact Club, thousands of hours of community service work in and around Howell would never get done. At last count, 1,663 hours of volunteer work had been logged over one year by the students in grades 9 through 12. Each year, students spend between 1,200 and 2,000 hours of time doing projects in their communities. They do it not as a requirement, but because they want to be involved, says current Interact President Candyce Hill, an outgoing junior who said she has been impressed with the willingness of students to help. “I’m just surprised at how many people want to help and how they rise to it,” said Hill, who joined the club as a freshman. “I wanted to do community service, and this was really the gateway to do it.” The sbc-year-old club does eveiything from tutoring elementary students and helping in classrooms to organizing an annual 5-K run that this year raised more than $2,100 for Special Olympics. In years past, the club has given money from their major fundraiser to LACASA, the Livingston County United Way, the Howell Skate Park and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Interact is Rotary International’s service club for yoimg people aged 14 to 18. In Howell, the Howell Rotary Club is the sponsor. Advisers are Howell High School counselor and teacher, Jennifer Starkey, and Howell Rotary Club adviser Peter Bowen of the investment firm Morgan Stanley. Brighton High School also has an Interact Club sponsored by the Brighton Rotary. Bowen said the Livingston Sunrise Rotary Club has agreed to start a second Howell club. Starkey said student hours vary. “They can spend anywhere from 2 to 70 to over 100 hours,” she said. “Anything they do, we’re grateful for. We just want to help in the community - that’s our whole goal.” Some of the regular projects worked on by students include book fairs, science fairs, carnivals and other events at Howell schools, peer tutoring at the Freshman Campus, Day of Caring for the Livingston County United Way, bell ringing for the Salvation Army, work for the American Red Cross, volunteering at the Howell Carnegie Library and helping with snow shoveling and yard work for local senior citizens. “Over the years, we’ve been in every elementary school in the district,” Hill said. Jeanne Clum, a member of the Howell Rotary Club and development-marketing director for the Livingston County United Way, said a United Waysponsored “Make a Difference Day” was the student group’s first exposure to community service. “They were so proud of what they’d done,” she said. “To hear them share their stories was really powerful.” Clum said each year since, the Howell Interact Club has remained involved in the agency’s annual “Day of Caring,” which grew from that first make-a-difference event. Bowen said the Interact Club not only builds leadership but instills the Rotary ideal: Service above self. “Certainly it plants the seed” for volunteering, he added. “It’s nice to see .them doing it from their hearts.” Casey Hans can be reached at chans@livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2005.

It was 1991, so long ago that some athletes I interview today weren’t even bom yet. But I do recall the feeling of freedom and the satisfaction of knowing some of my younger finends (and my sister) were still in school, slaving away. I remember how big a deal prom was... and how far from a big deal the actual graduation ceremony was. We shot silly string all over the gymnasium floor as a way to rebel against four years of homework. This week, the seniors at local high schools are experiencing some of the same feelings. They are ready to check out mentally for the summer. The weather is nice. That promotes the summer vacation mentality The tricl^ part is some of them can’t. Many senior athletes are heading into the heat of their seasons. Districts in softball, soccer and baseball. Regionals in lacrosse. State tournaments for golf and tennis. State track meets. This time of year is more of a whirlwind than ever, on and off the field. “Things are tough to focus on,” admits Brighton senior runner Nicole Naidoo. “With exams and all the sports that are coming to an end, like states and regionals. It’s really fiin, but it gets tough with everything going on.” Coaches always expect more from their seniors. They’re experienced leaders. Usually, they’re competing with a sense of urgency, Imowing this is their last chance. But they’re easily distracted in June. “It is a huge factor. Sometimes you pray for senior leadership. Some days you don’t want to be loaded with them,” Hartland softball coach Shelly Gordinear says. “It is a doubleedged sword. A lot of coaches who do winter sports, they thrive on that (senior leadership). When that senioritis hits, they are excited to go to college. It is so hard to keep them focused.” Even Pinckney boys track coach Tom Carney says he worries about his athletes, who are in the thick of a state championship run. “The hardest thing, when you have seniors, is they are all over the place (with obligations),” he says. “That’s the hard part, keeping that frame of mind with track.” Gordinear urges her seniors to stick to their normal school routine: don’t stay up too late and continue to get up early. In preparation for a predistrict game earlier this week, Gordinear’s four seniors got together early in the day to talk softball and keep their minds from wandering. Gordinear likes to break up the monotony of practice to keep the seniors happy and interested. “We toss water balloons (to work on) soft hands,” she says. “As it gets warmer, you bring some fun tricks to reinforce skills you have been teaching all year.” Naidoo says there are so many things pulling at her schedule: ice-skating, hanging out with high school friends for the last time, graduation parties, etc. Still, she says she feels “more ready than I ever have before” for the Division I state track meet. “The experience makes me more confident in what I can do,” she says. Senioritis can wait. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynew5.com or at 8 i0-844-2012. BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter One bad hole, in a season full of good ones, haunts Brighton sophomore Vanessa Koechli. Koechli scored a 10 on a par 5 on her home course at Oak Pointe Country Club at regionals. That score wasn’t the only reason the Bulldogs finished four shots behind eventual champion Farmington Hills Mercy, but Koechli still feels somewhat responsible. She’s using that as motivation for the Division I state finals, which are today and Saturday at Forest Akers West Course in East Lansing. “That is one of our goals, to beat them (Mercy) at states,” Koechli said. “I know if I would have shot four strokes lower on one hole, we would have tied them. It’s good motivation for me.” The regional performance was a microcosm of Brighton’s season. Returning four players from a team that was fifth at states last season, the Bulldogs have been close to toppling some of Michigan’s elite teams this spring but haven’t gotten over the hump -yet. The Bulldogs shot better than Grand Blanc once but lost to the three-time defending champions three other S E E GOLF,C2 JASON DEEGAN,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton golfers, from left, sophomore Vanessa Koechli and juniors Kelsey Haupt and Sara Walker, hope to lead the Bulldogs to a top-three finish at the Division I state finals this weekend.

No Division I (or Class A) school has ever won a boys state cross country and track title in the same school year. The Pirates are sending the largest team in school history to the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division I track and field state finals Saturday at East Kentwood High School. This band of Pirates -15 boys are qualified in 12 total events - highlights a massive onslaught of Livingston County athletes who will compete at three sites this weekend. Twenty-six individual athletes and 14 relays from Brighton, Howell, Hartland and South Lyon will run, jump and throw against the state’s best in Division I, hoping to earn a top-eight, all-state finish. In Division 2, Fowlerville’s Wesley Rejc (shot put, discus), Lindsay Garza (pole vault) and Marissa Orlando (high jump) will compete at Zeeland. Two Whitmore Lake runners, Zach Carpenter and Jessica Cattley, will race the 3,200 in Division 3 at Comstock Park. Often, a program with a dominant athlete - one who racks up firstplace points in two or three events - or a school with great relay teams wins a team state track title. Dearborn Heights Robichaud sprinting legend Tyrone Wheatley and Saline thrower Vince Helmuth single-handedly won their schools’ championships in 1990 and 2006, respectively. Conversely, Pinckney hopes its crown materializes with balance and teamwork. “Winning it all, it’s definitely one of our goals,” says Pinckney junior S EE TRACK, C2 Above, Pinckney track team member Andrea Pawlowski,17, practices her hurdles.

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton Bowl gets synthetic lanes, making for a more consistent game Brighton Bowl General Manager Jeff Tolliver recently changed his lanes from wood to a synthetic surface, which offers bowlers a smoother, more consistent surface. JAMIE CHARBENEAUPISELLA. THE LIVlINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Old wooden planks, some nearly 60 years old, made way for newer technology BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter The lanes at the Brighton Bowl just got better. And, likely, so did your scores. The Brighton Bowl, on Grand River Avenue in Brighton Tiownship, installed synthetic lanes the first week of May, replacing the wood that dated back to 1948 for the original 12 lanes and the mid-1970s for the rest. “Synthetic lanes are the future of bowling,” says Brighton Bowl General Manager Jeff Tolliver. “All the other major centers have this as opposed to wood. It makes for higher scores, more consistent conditions and far less lane maintenance.” Tolliver says the wooden lanes had dents and hollows that would send a shot off-line. The new lanes retain more consistent oil patterns. “Ninety-nine percent of bowlers love them,” 'Tolliver says. “TWo older gentlemen are not so happy it’s not wood anymore. “The balls roll smoother down the lane. It will not hit ball dents and seams in the wood. It’s like a Formica countertop. ” Howell’s Bowl-E-Drome SEE BRIGHTON BOWL,C2 C2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 1,2007 TRACK FROM Cl County athletes will compete at 3 sites Brian Hankins, who is seeded third in the 3,200 and seventh in the 1,600. “We have a very good team this year, all around. We have sprinters and field events and not just distance runners. It will be just as exciting to win one in track.” Pinckney coach Tom Carney faces some difficult decisions. He says he will make decisions the day of the competition regarding who will participate in certain relays and who to save for individual events. For example, senior David Emery, the reigning state cross country champ, is quafified in the 800; 1,600 and 3,200 and could run on any of the three distance relays. He’s seeded second in the 1,600 behind defending champion Cole Sanseverino of Monroe. In his first year in track, Pinckney senior James Getzen, a speedster who will play soccer at Xavier University, could end up rimning all four relays. Hankins says he will have no problem running his two individual events and several relays. “I’ll be fine for every race. I’m not going to leave anything for one race,” he says. “My events are pretty well spread out. It is a long enough day.” In the field events, Pinckney senior Richie Marks ranks third in the long jump, just 5 inches behind the leader, and sits seventh in the 400. The 3,200 will be the most exciting race of the day for the Kensington Valley Conference. Howell senior Steven Marcinkowski is the No. 1 seed after a surprise win at regionals. Following closely is Pinckney’s cross country pack: Hankins (third seed), Mike Katsefaras (fifth), Emery (11th), Matt Wines (13th) and Brenden Marcum (17th). Marcinkowski admits being No. 1 has its disadvantages. “I’ve learned to deal with it,” he says. “It is just a ranking. I think I’m pretty confident. That race gave me a lot of confidence, knowing I can run with the front pack and do well.” Should Pinckney win, it will join Fowler as the only other Michigan boys program to sweep both cross country and track titles in the same school year. Fowler followed a Class D cross country state title in 1988 with a track title in spring of 1989. Eight girls programs have swept both titles, led by Ann Arbor Pioneer, which accomplished the feat three times. On the girls side, Brighton’s 3,200 relay team of Ni- GOLF FROM Cl Brighton closing in on elite teams times at various tournaments. “I just put a bug in their ear (last week), how close we have been to these teams, 8 to 10 strokes all year,” coach Bill Miller said. “It is just a matter of two strokes a person. We are as good as any team in the state right now.” The Bulldogs boast an allstater in Koechli, who wants to finish in the top 10. Thennext two players, juniors Sara Walker and Kelsey Haupt, are steady and reliable. Senior Nicole Lysak recently shot a career-low 87. Junior Morgan Reed is the only player without state tournament experience. The Bulldogs played a practice round at Forest Akers last week. “It is a fun course, but you have to be accurate with chipping and putting,” Walker said. “The greens have a lot of weird breaks on them. We all have to be focused and not let our concentration down, or it' could be disastrous. It is really a team tournament.” Koechli has played three practice rounds, without keeping score each time. “That’s bad luck,” she said. The Bulldogs are banking on their positive experience under pressure at states last season to cany them through the weekend. “The atmosphere (at states) is totally different than any other tournament. It is nice to be able to know how it feels,” Koechli said.

Names are those who ran at regionals. cole Naidoo, Ellory Green, Nora Kiilunen and Amanda Halonen is the highest local seed, coming in at fourth. Brighton assistant coach Gary Meehan says the program’s goal is to qualify as many girls possible and not worry where they place. Ju niors like Andrea Fogle (shotput) and Sam Etter (400 relay, 400) and sophomores like Megan Clifford (long jump, 100 hurdles, 400 relay) and Halonen (3,200) will gain valuable experience. “If they perform well enough to place, that’s great,” Meehan says. “It’s just good to get state-meet experience.” South Lyon’s Megan Morad (seeded sixth in the 100) and Amanda Green (10th in long jump) will be in the mix, too. Hartland’s duo of Ashley Esparza and Brittany Quirm could surprise some. Esparza tied for eighth in the pole vault last seasoh. A month ago, Quinn attempted the 300 hurdles for the first time. She broke the school record at regionals to qualify. “I wanted to try something new,” she said. R U N N IN G C A L E N D A R ■ June 2, Book'n 5K and 1- Mile Storytime Strut.

Recycle center pursues funding for expansion Livingston County nonprofit has raised about $9,000 of its $16,000 goal BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News Staff ReporterRecycle Livingston is more than halfway home to realizing its request for $16,000 from surrounding townships to support an expansion. With firm commitments fixim the city of Howell, Livingston County and Oceola Township, executive director Linda Berch reports that $9,000 has been raised. “We are still waiting to hear from Genoa Township, M:mon Township and the village of Fbwlerville,” she said. Wth no firm deadline for a response, and a number of communities who have “already told us they couldn’t do it,” Berch is not sure when the planned improvements will be made at the nonprofit agency. She had hoped to have the electrical system upgraded this summer, but she had eQ s o hoped to have more financial supjiort by now. “We may have to take out a partial loan, and that would put us in a precarious situation,” she said, referring to the agency’s limited funds. As the sole drop off recycling center in Livingston County, the Howell site has Volunteer Ben Theriault, 6, sorts through a bag of plastic bottles brought In to Recycle Livingston on a recent Saturday. seen thousands of cars enter its gates annually since opening at 170 Catrell St., in 1991. The site took in 11,036 vehicles in 2006. Staffed mainly with volunteers, customers from aU over the county and beyond pay $3, drive up to the bins, and hand over their recyclables to center volunteers. While plastic milk jugs are the most fi^quently recycled item, the center also accepts batteries, paper, cardboard, electronics, metal, newspaper, polystyrene foam and shoes. Electrical upgrades are necessary to bring three-phase industrial power to the center, which is needed to run the additional compactors Berch secured free from Northwest Refuse Inc. of Jackson. In return, the two compactors would be used for corrugated paper and mbced plastics, which will be regularly removed by Northwest representatives and sold. The change would save Recycle Livingston $800 annually in transportation costs and allow the agency to better serve clients. “If we do get the funding, we’ll be able to take larger loads of cardboard, and more varieties of plastics,” Berch SEE RECYCLE, A4 _ 5 0 years later, Lindhout founder still helping his firm JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Architect BIN Lindhout, 82, still puts In a 40-hour work week.

At an informational meeting attended by more than 100 people Monday, Larry Goss, principal of Burton-Katzman Development of Bingham Farms, said there are three options now on the table. ■ Developing the property as proposed into a combination of housing and retail space, contingent upon township approval. Plans have been submitted to the township, but they have yet to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. ■ Selling, at cost - $20 million - the property to the township for use as parkland. The^ township would then have to go to voters for approval of a bond issue or millage levy to pay for it. ■ Subdividhig the property and selling it to other developers. “The developer has come a long way,” said Donna Pardonnet, a resident of the nearby Arbor Meadows subdivision. “We need, as residents, to decide and drive the decision of what gets developed. I think the (proposal to sell the land to the township) is something the residents should seriously consider ” “I don’t care for any of the (alternatives),” countered Larry Wilkie of the Horizon Hills subdivision on Whitmore Lake Road. “We like the ruralness of the commimity.” Developers said a bond issue would cost the average township property owner about $300 per year. Township Supervisor Mark St. Charles said Tuesday that realignment of Silver Lake and Winans Lake roads, and development of soccer and baseball fields, would need to be included in any proposal.

IN BRIEF Flooded Fowlerville High School gym floor must be replaced The just-completed new gymnasium floor at Fowlerville High School must be replaced after the facility was flooded Sunday when a storm dumped 3-5 inches of rain on the area. The flooding occurred between the time a worker left the building at 11:30 a.m. and when Assistant Superintendent Don Buggia arrived at 1:30 p.m. and saw water pouring in. The newly installed floor must be replaced at a cost in excess of $160,000. Joe Lorenz, speaking for general contractor Clark Construction of Lansing, told school board members he anticipates that the work will be completed for the opening of school in the fall. Because the construction site had not been completed at the time of the flood, FCS Superintendent Ed Alyerson said he believes the general contractor wiU bear the cost of the repair. The gym is part of a expansion of Fowlerville High School funded by a $49.4 mllion voter-approved bond to update several buildings in the district. It was passed in 2004.

The method for selecting planning commissioners remains the same: One commissioner is a Village Council member who serves ex-officio, and the remaining six are appointed by the village president and approved by a majority vote of the council. A commissioner may be a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, but may not hold another municipal office. Public hearing to discuss budget A public hearing to consider the v^age’s 2007-08 budget will be at 6:45 p.m., Monday at Village Hall, 213 S. Grand Ave. A copy of the proposed budget, including proposed property tax millage rates, is available for inspection at Village Hall during business hours. Details: Village Clerk Doreen Murphy at 517-223 3771. Deficit looming in school budget Fowlerville Community Schools is anticipating a $900,000 deficit for the 2007- OS school year. That figure is based on anticipation of state funding remaining at last year’s $7,085-per-pupil level and an enrollment decline of 60 students. Superintendent Ed Alverson will ask the school board to use half of the district’s $1.4 million fund balance savings account to eliminate a portion of the deficit. The remainder will come from cuts to be determined at a special June 12 board meeting. The board will vote on cuts to the 2007-08 budget at the regular board meeting June 19. Both meetings are scheduledifor 7 p.m. in the media center of Fowlerville High School, 700 N. Grand Ave. Green OakTwp. Big-item cleanup begins next Friday The township hosts its annual large-item cleanup days, June 15-16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m, next to the north side fire station at East Grand River Avenue and Alan Drive. Acceptable items include stoves, refiigerators, couches, metal, tires, paper products and car batteries. All items must be cut up into manageable pieces. Unacceptable items include hazardous waste, paint, thinners, chemicals, building debris, commercial trash and petroleum products. A garbage bin also will be available to accept yard waste.

The township’s Board of Trustees in May voted to temporarily table putting the tower at the Wastewater ll'eatment Plant, off M-36 near Merrill Road, because of concerns raised by the Department of Public Works that it could jeopardize future plant expansion and operation costs. Don Miller, DPW field superintendent, said the tower was planned for a spot too close to the plant, its test wells and sand filtration beds, and runoff from training fires could cause contamination. The tower is proposed to be equal to or slightly taller than the tallest structure in the township, said Fire Chief Doug Berry. It will allow firefighters to safely train to fight fires and practice search-and-rescue techniques and ladder drills, he said. Having its own tower also could result in a better Insurance Service Organization rating. Berry said, which can result in lower property insurance rates for residents. The bulk of the $198,421 cost of the tower will be covered by $178,687 from Hamburg Fire Department Inc., a volunteer group that supports the fire department. The remainder will come from the capital improvements fund.

The short survey is available at www.cromaine. org and at both library branches. Howell Seniors surveyed on college plans Recent surveys of graduating Howell High seniors show a down economy affecting families, with more students planning to attend community college and live at home than in previous years. Superintendent Chuck Breiner noted details from an online survey answered by 160 students, more than a quarter of seniors. He also meets personally with some students each year. Of those responding, 142 planned to attend college with 53 planning to attend community college. Also, 147 students said they plan to work while in college and 62 plan to live at home. That so many are going to college is encouraging, Breiner said. “The message is ‘you can’t coast anymore.’ I think there’s a real passion for getting on to a college education,” he added.

Titled "The Happy Marriage," it depicts the relationship between art and architecture. LINDHOUT FROM A1 Architect moved to Howell, then Brighton in Livingston County, was started in 1957 with just Bill Lindhout and his wife of 57 years, Bebe (“My wife did the books,” he says). It now employs 22 people, 10 of them architects. “He is a very gentle man, a very humble man,” says longtime friend Dr. Harry Davis, a Brighton dentist. Like Lindhout, the 78-yearold Davis continues to work at his profession long after the traditional retirement age.After graduating from the University of Michigan with a degree in architecture in 1950, Lindhout worked for a Detroit firm and opened his own office in Livonia in 1957. He moved the firm to Livingston County in 1980, first opening an office in Howell before moving to Brighton Township, where he rented office space. He later designed and built the Fonda Place office complex on East Grand River Avenue that served as the company’s home for several years. In 2002 the company built its current headquarters, a contemporary building with swooping lines on Citation Drive, next to 1-96 in Brighton Township. The company also has designed some of the most notable buildings in the area, such as the new Citizens Insurance building in Howell, Asahi-Thermofil in Fowlerville, Millpond Parke in Brighton plus many in Wayne County. Lindhout has left the dayto- day operation of the company to son Piet Lindhout but still serves as chairman of the company’s board of directors. “He was definitely my role Bill Lindhout ■ Age: 82. ■ Residence: Genoa Township. ■ Family: Married to Bebe for 57 years; two children, Piet and David; one grandchild. ■ Education: 1950 University of Michigan graduate. ■ Hobbies: Golf, photography. ■ Favorite book: Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead." ■ Persons he would most like to meet: Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. model,” says Piet Lindhout. “He introduced me to community service, architecture and construction,” the younger Lindhout says, indicating which of the three is most important to his father and himself. Bill Lindhout doesn’t talk about it much, but he is a decorated World War II veteran who saw combat in the Pacific as a radioman and gunner aboard a torpedo bomber whose job was to sink enemy ships. The carrier- based, General Motors TBM Avenger also was part of a squadron that made the first Navy strikes on Tokyo. Lindhout was the target of a barrage of antiaircraft fire on many occasions, but was never hit. “We lost maybe one-fourth of our squadron,” he says. He won the Distinguished Foreign Cross and five air medals for his meritorious service. Lindhout “had a shaky hand for a while” after the war but otherwise didn’t show signs of what would later become known as posttraumatic stress syndrome. Lindhout says he doesn’t have a “philosophy of life” as such but always keeps a positive outlook. “I’m a tomorrow person, rather than a yesterday person,” he says. “I never like to use the past as a security blanket, (although) I like to borrow from the past in architecture.” Capping off a career that has spanned 60 years, Lindhout was presented recently with the Lifetime Recognition Award by the Huron Valley Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for his many achievements. His hobby is golfing, and Lindhout sits on the board of the Golf Association of Michigan. Davis says he and Lindhout occasionally golf together. “He’s a marvelous golfer,” Davis says. Lindhout says his dream golfing partners would be Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Calling his father a fierce competitor, Piet Lindhout says, “You couldn’t chip a golf ball in the front yard without a nickel riding on who is closest.” Lindhout, who dabbles in sculpture, designed the new sculpture for the Lindhout building. Titled “The Happy Marriage,” it depicts the relationship between art and architecture. Tom Tolen can be reached at tto!en@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009. F o w l e r v i l l e c o u n c i l : N o t o O L H S A r e q u e s t Agency requested payment in lieu of taxes for low-income housing unit From News staff reports The Fowlerville Village Council has unanimously turned down a request from the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency housing subsidiary. Venture Inc. to accept a payment in lieu of taxes for a multiple-family, low-income rental unit. OLHSA Livingston Director Catherine Rea Dunning petitioned the village to accept a service charge of 6 percent of net collected rents from the four-unit apartment building instead of paying property taxes, as allowed by provisions in state law. Dunning said the payment would have been $2,203 instead of the $8,600 in property taxes for the structure at 420 W. Grand River Ave. Council President Wayne Copeland said it wasn’t fair to exempt this low-income housing at the expense of others in the community. OLHSA has previously secured such arrangements in Brighton, Howell, and Genoa Township. Dunning said OLHSA now must decide how to proceed.

Among other things, the authority could sign a contract with Great Lakes Central Railroad to provide the service, said Michael Cicchella, Northfield Township supervisor and a leader in the coalition. Great Lakes Central owns the right to operate on the tracks between Howell and Ann Arbor. The authority would have the right to seek a millage to operate the service, but it would not seek a millage to get the service started, Cicchella said. For that, the coalition of more than ^ 18 government and private W agencies is trying to raise $4.8 million, including a $1 million grant from the f^ e ra l government, Cicchella said. Cicchella said the coalition will seek approval for the authority from the boards of com- ^ missioners in Washtenaw and Livingston counties after talking to board members about it. “There isn’t any organization that transcends both counties,” to run the commuter service, Cicchella said. The rail service, proposed a year ago by Ann Arbor Mayor John Hieflje, aims at relieving traffic congestion on US-23. Cicchella said he hoped the authority could be approved by July 15, with service possibly beginning in October. However, William Rogers, chairman of the Livingston County Board of Commissioners, said he had not seen the draft articles of incorporation. He described Livingston County, a coalition member, as “at the table,” with regard to the rail service, but said he needed to see the draft proposal and the possible costs to the county. Jeff Irwin, chairman of the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners, said an early fall approval might be likely, with possible approval of a county financial contribution in November. Washtenaw County is considering a contribution of $150,000, he said. “I think that we’re really close to where we need to be,” Irwin said of the proposed articles of incorporation. 2007-08 SCHOOL BUDGETS Pinckney eyes trims to budget Early retirements, not filling jobs and cutting police liaison are considered BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Not filling seven of the 19 teaching jobs being vacated this year in an early retirement buyout program will cut about $800,000 from Pinckney Community Schools’ projected $1.5 million budget deficit next year.What will be done to make up the rest of the shortfall has yet to be determined, but must be decided when the district’s Board of Education meets at 7 p.m. June 28 to adopt the 2007-08 budget that goes into effect July 1. On the list of possibilities, said Superintendent Dan Danoslgf to about 50 attendees at a May 31 town hall meeting, is eliminating Pinckney Community High School’s police liaison officer. Cutting the position, contracted through the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department, would save an additional $65,000 annually, he said. Off the list is the elimination of the district’s athletic director position, which currently pays $108,744 in salary and benefits. John Rehbine, the current athletic director, was given notice by the district’s Board of Education in April that he could be laid off on June 30, but Danosly said in looking at the job duties and proposed changes to Pinckney’s athletic conference, it became clear it was not practical to cut this job. Danosly woulii’t reveal other specific cuts, saying many things are still being discussed. Further trimming a district that already privately contracts for food service and busing and has frozen spending on supplies, joined consortiums to save on utilities, cut its custodians by half and changed all of its health care programs to save about $20 per student, isn’t easy, he said. “I didn’t know what it was There have to be changes in the way the state does business and changes in the way schools do business/ Dan Danosky,superintendent, Pinckney Community Schoois like to not have money until I came here,” said Danosly, who was hired about a year ago. “It’s amazing what Pinckney has been able to do with so little money. Student achievement is high and our graduates do well.” Pinckney gets $7,085 per student from the state, the lowest possible level of funding. Like all schools, it’s also had to endure executive order cuts in per-student funding the past fewyears, but avoiding the $122 per-student cut schools were originally warned they might get this month, Danosly said, is just postponing the inevitable. “They haven’t fixed anything,” he said. “They’ve just pushed it back to next year.” Danosky’s town hall meeting also covered how school fimding fits in with the state budget. While downturns in Michigan’s economy have been cyclical and tied to its automotive manufacturing base in the past, he and other educators believe Michigan won’t come out of its current downturn without structural economic changes. “We’re not going to grow out of this one,” Danoslg^ said. “There have to be changes in the way the state does business and changes in the way schools do business.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@livingstoncommunitynews. com or at810-844-2011. * Donations to Gleaners from Fill the Gazebo decline 12,000 pounds of food gathered ^ so far this year BYTOMTOLEN News Staff Reporter Donations to Gleaners at last Saturday’s fifth annual Fill the Gazebo event are down significantly from last year. So far, 12,000 pounds of donated items has been tallied, compared to last year’s total of 20,000 pounds, says Michelle Ounanian of Gleaners Community Food Bank. “Everybody is more strapped for resources, and more cautious in what they’re doing with those resources,” Ounanian says. ^ “The declining economy in Michigan is being felt by everyone, (so) it’s especially important for those who have to share it with those , who do not in this economy.” & However, Ounanian re- " mains hopeful that the final amount might still equal last year. “Two sources of food are still coming, and we are expecting (donations from) businesses that haven’t dropped off the items,” she says. In addition, nearly $5,000 i H ^ ^ RICK FITZGERALD,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Realtor Will Steinmetz encourages motorists to stop and donate to the Gleaners Community Food Bank during last Saturday's Fill the Gazebo food drive in downtown Brighton. Volunteers were accepting bags of food and cash donations along West Main Street near the Mill Pond Park. in cash donations has been collected so far, compared to $5,400 in 2006, Ounanian says, saying cash contributions are important because Gleaners can feed one person for a day for $1. The six tons of food, plus cash donations, equates to 85,000 meals. Assisting at the event at the Brighton Mill Pond gazebo were about 60 adult volunteers, many from the Livingston County Association of Realtors, the cosponsor with Gleaners. The collected food and personal items are being distributed to about 25 agencies in Livingston County. Participation in the Gleaners Shared Harvest Food Pantry program has steadily increased, and it now feeds about 1,500 individuals per month. On a more positive note, Ounanian says an increase was recorded in the amount collected in Livingston County this year in the annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive conducted May 12 by the National Association of L etter Carriers. The drive, with 30,000 pounds of items donated in the county, was organized locally by postal employees from the Brighton, Howell, Pinckney and Hartland post offices. Ounanian stressed that it’s not too late to donate. They may drop off items at the food pantry at 5840 Sterling Drive in Genoa Township, during regular hours. The phone number at the pantry is 517-548-3710. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009. Yo u chose yo u r gifts w ith trem e n d o u s care.

The school board is scheduled to approve the new budget, which it must do no later than June 30. At Monday’s board meeting, Superintendent Jim Craig had some good news about the district’s deficit situation. “The money that the state will now fund as per its May 25 budget will show up as an additional $800,000 that will be added to the fund balance,” he said. “We still have over a $2 million deficit facing the district, but we’ll have that additional money in the fund balance.” Craig said that there are several initiatives to reduce expenditures that will be discussed at the June 18 board meeting. The initiatives include possibly cutting expenses in the areas of special education, athletics, operations and transportation. One of the options for cuts that had previously been mentioned was eliminating or sharing principals’ positions. However, at Monday’s meeting, Craig recommended against doing that, and the board approved administrative contract extensions through June 30, 2009, for all principals and assistant principals in the district. Exceptions include Maltby Middle School Principal Marcia Tomasko, whose resignation due to retirement was approved last month, and Gail Sims, assistant principal at Scranton Middle School, whose resignation due to retirement was approved by the board at Monday’s meeting. T he board also approved the extension of Craig’s employment contract through June 30, 2010, a one-year extension to his^resent contract.

The thermoplastic manufacturing company is expanding capacity with a $2.5 million investment in a new manufacturing line and testing equipment. The new line will increase their employees from 10 to 20 workers. The company is owned by Randy Rudisill and Dave Donie. Rudisill was president of plastics manufacture r Thermofil in Fowlerville for 20 years before leaving the company in April 2005. The former Thermofil facility is now owned by Asahi Kasei Plastics. “We built our reputation in the industry and now we’re trying to do it again with American Compounding,” Rudisill said. “We appreciate the'support we’ve got from the community. We’re hiring people with good jobs with health insurance and a 401 (k) program. Also, we’re providing a substantial investment in the community.” The company began operation in the first quarter of 2006 after building a $4 million facility on the former Stanley Tool brownfield site on Veterans Drive in Fowlerville. At the time, they re ceived a 12-year industrial facilities tax exemption of 50 percent from the Fowlerville Village Council on the original building and property. In December 2005, the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth valued the abatement at $600,000 over 12 years. The new abatement will go into effect during the 2007- 2008 fiscal year and will extend for its own 12-year period. The value of the abatement will be based on a 50 percent reduction in the total millage collected on the site - 56.9 mills, including millage levied by the village. Handy Township, Livingston County and Fowlerville Community Schools. The 50 percent level of the abatement is set by law. The Fowlerville Village Council determines the period of the abatement and whether the abatement is granted because the company is located in Fowlerville. The actual amount of the new abatement was not available from any source. Fred Dillingham, director of the Livingston County Economic Development Council, said the abatement will pay 50 percent of whatever millage is levied. “The Village of Fowlerville has done several abatements over the years,” Dillingham said. “As far as calculating out the value for every project. I’ve never been requested to do that because the issue is over the tax rate, not the tax amount.” JIM JAGDFELD, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Volunteers at work on a Saturday morning at Recycle Livingston in Howell.

RECYCLE FROM Ai Organization needs help to move forward says. “Right now, we only take Is and 2s (plastics.)” RUl funding would also allow Berch to “drop the ($10) cardboard surcharge” for large loads, though additional fees would still be required for electronics equipment. “We see this proposal from Northwest Refuse as beneficial to both our organization and the community,” Berch wrote in a letter to municipal leaders seeking financial assistance. “The organization needs your assistance to move forward. Without assistance. Recycle Livingston will not only remain stuck in its old ways, it may be forced to cut services or close all together.” Municipalities were asked to contribute $2 per recycler based on 2006 user statistics that identify place of residency. According to those numbers, Marion 'Township residents were the biggest users, accounting for 14.3 percent of the center’s client base.

Tina Theriault of Marion Township came to Recycle Livingston as a customer, but has recently joined Berch’s group of 100 on-call volunteers. The local mom decided it was time to “get involved with the community” and has volunteered almost every Saturday for two months. She hopes to instill volunteerism in her children, Clare, 9, and Ben, 6, who staff the plastics bins. “We’re keeping the community cleaner,” Clare said when asked why she comes. “It’s also fun,” she said, “but sometimes my arms get tired” from throwing containers into the bins. According to Berch, more people are concerned about landfills and planet preservation, resulting in more work and a larger feancial drain on the local agency. “Recycle Livingston needs help to accomplish this important project (keeping a clean environment),” she said. “Without (funding commitments from municipalities,) there would need to be a tax supported center that would cost even more.” Laurie Humphrey can be reached at lhumphrey@ livingstoncommunitynews.eom or 810-844-2003. P u t n a m T w p . c a s e h e a d i n g f o r m e d i a t i o n Former appellate litigator will facilitate discussions From News staff reports A legal dispute between Putnam Township and three landowners over a manufactured housing development has moved to the Michigan Court of Appeals Settlement Program. 'The township is appealing a May 2006 Livingston County Circuit Court ruling allowing 498 manufactured' housing units on 144 acres of agricultural land at Swarthout Road and County Road D-19 owned by siblings Jeffrey Hendee, Michael Hendee and Louann Hendee Demorest. In the settlement program, the plaintiffs, defendants and their attorneys confidentially discuss a resolution to their dispute. The discussion is conducted by a former litigator who acts as a mediator. If a resolution is not reached, the case will proceed to the appeals court for a decision. The siblings and developer Marcus Yono of Village Point Development filed suit about two years ago after requests that the land be rezoned from minimum 10-acre parcels to one-acre lots were turned down by the township. 'The dispute began in 2002 when the landowners asked the township for one-acre zoning for a 95-home planned unit 'development. That request was not supported by the township Planning Commission or the Livingston County Planning Commissioa After postponing a decision several times, the township board denied the rezoning in December 2003. The following March, the township’s Zoning Board of Appeals denied a land-use variance that would have allowed the development, prompting the court battle. 6 a r e b e i n g i n t e r v i e w e d f o r t o p I S D p o s t From News staff reports A week of interviewing candidates hoping to become the next Livingston Educational Service Agency superintendent is expect^ to end Saturday. She applicants are being interviewed by the intermediate school district’s board of education for the job, which is being vacated by Sally Vaughn who will become the chief academic officer for the Michigan Department of Education this summer. 'The finalists are: ■ Nancy Staub, Pinckney Community Schools assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. ■ Jeanne Farina, Howell Public Schools assistant superintendent for curriculum. ■ Scott Menzel, Whitmore Lake Public Schools superintendent. ■ Susan Allen, Grosse Pointe Public Schools assistant superintendent. ■ James Coolican, superintendent of the Peninsula ^hool District in Gig Harbor, Wash. ■ Dennis Wilson, superintendent of Uinta County &hool District No. 1 in Elvanston, wyo. Staub and Allen, who also applied a year ago to become Brighton Area Schools superintendent, were interview^ last Monday. Fhrina and Menzel were interviewed last Wednesday and Coolican and Wilson are set to be interviewed at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. The board hopes to choose two finalists from this field. Another meeting relating to the interviews is set for 6 p.m. Monday in LESA’s Education Center, 1425 W. Grand River Ave. in Howell. Site visits to the finalists’ school districts will be done before a final selection is made at the end of the month. MISSION HILL FROM AI Residents at the meeting willing to pay added taxes overall cost to $30. million, the result would likely be a 2.25- mill proposal spread over as long as 30 years, he said. “Before I would put it on the ballot, I would need some hard and firm numbers,” St. Charles said, emphasizing it was the board’s decision to make, not his. Though those present were almost unanimous in their willingness to pay additional taxes to buy the property, St. Charles said getting approval for such a tax issue across the township would be difficult, particularly in such uncertain economic times. St. Charles also said a purchase of the land by the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority - which operates 13 Metroparks in southeast Michigan, was highly unlikely given the cost. In addition, the authority already has a nearby Metropark - Huron Meadows on Rickett Road - a portion of which straddles the Mission Hill property line. The latest Mission Hill development plan calls for 564,000 square feet of retail space (down from 764,000) and 910 homes, condos and apartments (down from 922 last fall and 1,272 as originally proposed). The commercial property would be mostly along Whitmore Lake Road south of Winans Lake Road. Multiple-family housing would be along the south side of Winans Lake Road, and single-family housing (at $250,000 to $400,000) would go on the north side. A village-style retail center with small shops also is planned. ' Under that development plan, 12 acres would be reserved as parkland and another 5.5 acres would be for athletic fields. Developers said the county or state would need to pay for the bulk of the re quired road and intersection improvements, which could - include as many as two dual ^ roundabouts at the Silver Lake Road and US-23 interchange, as recommended by the Livingston County Road Commission and the state Department of Transportation. ^ “There was enough residential permissible on the site that it overwhelmed a traditional intersection,” said Road Commission Manage ing Director Mike Craine, explaining the rationale for roundabouts. “We’re willing to donate 10 acres and grade the roads, and let the Livingston County Road Commission and MDO'T handle the rest,” said Conrad Schewe, vice president of project development for Burton- Katzman. A representative for Wal- Mart also was at the meeting, saying the nation’s largest retailer is interested in ^ putting a 150,000- to 185,000-. " square-foot-store at the site. A Lowe’s home improvement warehouse, plus a third bigbox store, also are being discussed. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen® livingstoncommunitynews.eom or at 810-844-2009. I N B R I E F Pinckney Council to discuss $1.25 million budget Wednesday in a 17-hour work week. He will no longer be in the offices at 131S. Howell St. in downtown Pinckney on Thursdays. Details: 734-878-3131. 5 appointed to Wetland Review Village officials will discuss adopting a $1.25 million 2007-08 budget at a 7:30 p.m. meeting Monday in Village Hall, 220 S. Howell St. The Village Council got its first look at the budget on May 29; it must be adopted by July 1,. The village will likely need to draw about $3,500 from its projected $560,000 fund equity to balance next year’s budget, said President Rebecca Foster, but Pinckney’s general fund and general highway millage are expected to stay at 8 mills and 2 mills, respectively, she said. , Based on the state economy, the village has further cut its original estimate of state shared revenue for next year to $146,700, Foster said. As of the end of April, Pinckney had received $108,365 in state shared revenue this year. In 2005-06, it received almost $166,000. Because Pinckney made changes in employee health care that resulted in about $6,000 in savings, a 3 percent raise is being proposed for the village’s nine full-time and two part-time employees. Employees have had their salaries frozen for the last two years. Whether or not elected officials also will get a raise will be discussed by the board Monday, Poster said. Four residents and one township trustee have been appointed to serve on the Wetland Review Board. 'IVustee Norm Klein will serve on the board concurrent 4 with his township trustee term, which expires next year. Jerry Balk, 'Township Planning Commission chairman, also will serve one year.

The event is in its third year. Waterfest has free family fun K i d s c a n h e l p r e l e a s e p i k e i n t o T h o m p s o n L a k e B Y L A U R IE H U M P H R E Y News Staff Writer Organizers of the third annual Livingston Clean Waterfest are hoping for good weather Saturday as they make final preparations for the anticipated crowd of 600-plus people. According to BccIqf Simpson, Livingston County water resources and event coordinator, the Waterfest always has been well-attended because it stands out. “There are not a lot of free family events in Livingston County,” she said. Yet on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., the public can enter Howell City P^k, and enjoy an afternoon of fishing, live minnow races, face painting, scavenger hunts, snow cones and more, all free. In addition, the first 500 people who attend will receive lunch and a Livingston Clean Waterfest T-shirt. “Everything is completely free, fun and educational,” Simpson stressed. Nine major sponsors, with contributions from a handful of additional businesses, will pick up the $9,400 tab. “It’s amazing how many companies want to step up and do something good for the environment,” said Simpson. The day is geared for children 16 and under, and their caregivers, but everyone can find something to do at the event, according to coordinators. Eighteen conservation groups will be on hand to answer questions and share tips on maintaining a clean environment. Providing those groups a forum is one goal of the event. “We offer this event because we have a lot of great resources available in Livingston County, including Thompson Lake, despite it being the fastest growing county in the state,” said Simpson. It is her hope that as the county’s grov^h continues, possibly leading to erosion and Livingston Clean Waterfest Schedule of events for Saturday's festivities at Howell City Park: ■ 7:30 a.m. - Registration begins. ■ 8-11 a.m. - Fishing tournament. ■ 11 a.m.-l p.m.-Lunch. ■ 11 a.m.-3 p.m. - Activities on the hill (snow cones, live minnow races, face painting, casting lessons, fish printing, scavenger hunt). ■ Noon - Fishing tournament prizes awarded. ■ 3 p.m. - Raffle for boat (WaterQuest 9.4, two-person, 9-foot Bass Tender boat). ■ 3 p.m. - Fish release at boat launch. water pollution, people who are educated about environmental needs “will stand up and try to make a change.” Bob Henshaw, Oceola Township trustee and liaison to the Thompson Lake Improvement Board, also believes “it is important people are educated on the proper care of the environment.” It’s a view shared and long held by township board members, who unanimously agreed to donate $750 toward Saturday’s event. More than half of Thompson Lake sits in Oceola Township, with the rest inside Howell’s city limits, but Henshaw said caring for the lake is more than an issue of pride for township officials. It’s also an economic issue. “Residents are already paying assessments” for a dam in the lake as well as weed control. “There are certain activities people may have going on around their yard that can contribute to the weediness in the lake,” said Henshaw, “and the lake is not real deep, increasing the chances of weediness.” He hopes educated people will opt for environment^y friendly fertilizers and products without phosphates, a primary contributor of contamination in Thompson Lake. He stressed the need to care for the lake, as well as all of the county’s waterways, which have the unique distinction of connecting to three Great Lakes. “Livingston County is the only county in that state that (empties) into three Great Lakes: Erie, Huron and Michigan. It’s quite important that residents here know that,” he said. The city of Howell also lent financial support to the program, as well as staff support, including the services of Terry Wilson, deputy city manager for public services. Wilson says the event, which promotes clean water, “is important not just to city residents, but outside too,” and Howell officials “have always been very supportive” of maintaining quality water. He says education is one of the best ways to achieve that. In addition, Waterfest spectators- can learn about natural resources from Kensington Metropark experts, who will bring a trailer featuring microscopic water organisms. “That’s new this year,“ said Simpson. To end the day, children are invited to help release more than 1,000 northern pike into Thompson Lake. A program that is done locally every two years, fish will be released at 3 p.m. at the City Boat Launch. Laurie Humphrey can be reached at lhumphrey@ Hving5toncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2003.

County residents will soon have access to a dental discount card, which could mean an average of a 25 percent savings on a range' of dental services. The county Board of Commissioners approved the program Monday. Ted Westmeier, director of the Department of Public Health in Livingston County, says it is not the same as dental insurance. “It is a discount card which lets people receive a reduction on a normal fee charged for certain dental services,” says Westmeier. “T here’s an annual fee for the card, which is $62, and anyone can receive it.” The Livingston County Board of Commissioners will work on a contract with U.S. Dental Care, a company based in Tennessee, which will do all the marketing and enrollment for the discount card. Westmeier says that both Oakland and Macomb County have started similar programs, which encouraged the Livingston County board to do the same. “U.S. Dental Care was chosen because of the price per year that would be charged to residents, the experience the company has providing similar services and how the card will be marketed,” says Westmeier. “There are 26 dentists in Livingston County that will accept the discount card.” Westmeier adds that it comes at a good time because of the number of people who have lost jobs or lost benefits because of the economy. He says the Livingston County Department of Public Health does not yet know when the cards will be available, but will soon provide helpful links on its Web site www.lchd.org.

LETTERS Comly family gives thanks for support We were overwhelmed with our loss of our son, Chris Comly, but we were also overwhelmed by the unbelievable outpouring of support and caring from Chris’ friends, our Mends, our family, our neighbors, the area churches, Hartland Schools and the area community. As we have stated before, we were sometimes a little confused when Chris would talk about the many different kids he was going to “hang out with.” We thought we knew most of Chris’ close friends, but then he would throw out many names of kids whom we had not met. The confusion is now gone and we now understand that he was fortunate to have many, many friends and that he had a way of connecting and befriending all different kinds of people from different groups and ages. The response from Chris’ classmates'has been amazing. These kids have been a great source of strength for us. We were so impressed with the respect, the maturity and the caring for Chris and each other. Many of the kids spoke of how Chris made a difference in their life. Chris’s classmates have made a difference in our life. We have always felt blessed that we had a number of good friends in our life. It’s kind of ironic, but it took Chris, who seemed to be friends with just about everyone, to show us just how many great friends we truly have. We are grateful to all of you for your kindness, support and love. We look at this as one of the many great gifts that Chris gave us. Chris’ brother. Grant, has been doing well. There are many people who did special things specifically to try to help Grant out; neighbors who sent over gifts, many cards from classmates and friends, help from Grant’s school and Chris’ high school friends all took extra time to spend with Grant. There are no words to express how much we appreciate this. We were very proud of what Chris accomplished. There were struggles to get to this point, and we anticipated there would be normal struggles ahead. He had good things lined up at Kettering University and Beaumont Hospital, most of which he had set up on his own. He was about to become an Eagle Scout, which he is now. Although this wasn’t clear to us before the auto crash that took his life, it’s very clear to us now that Chris’ greatest accomplishment is how he was able to positively connect and sincerely touch so many different people in his life. We cherish this above all else. We don’t know how we would have gotten through the past few weeks without your help, prayers and support. Thank you all for everything that you have done for us. Ian Comly and family, Hartland Township Relay for Life too noisy for too long I won’t deny cancer’s devastating impact on humanity. I won’t deny Americans’ right to assemble and demonstrate, but the recent Relay for Life at the Brighton football field was way out of line. The loud music and PA announcements should have been stopped at sunset and not allowed to continue all night and morning long. I called 911 and was told that at least one other complaint had been called in already and that the police were on the way. After several hours more, I drove to the State Police and complained. While the officer was very understanding, he stated that the state of Michigan has no noise ordnance. I first heard the noise at 10 p.m. It continued on and off until around 5 a.m., at which time I heard the emcee say, “It’s five o’clock.” That being said, I feel that it was very rude of the organizers of the event not to take into account the fact that some of the residents of Brighton needed a full night’s sleep in order to properly function the next day. Why was the function not held at some state or metro park that does not have full-time residents? I have voiced my opinion to the American Cancer Society, and e-mailed my complaint- opinion to the event organizer and the Brighton city manager. I am a cancer survivor and my father died of lung cancer, and some of my relatives have it, so please don’t think I’m insensitive to cancer’s effects. The event definitely got my attention.

That’s why I’m one of several area residents participating this spring in the Howell Citizens Academy. Since late April a core group of about sk of us have been coming together each Thursday night to learn a bit more about how the city works. So far we’ve had presentations ranging from wastewater treatment and police and fire services to city finances and public works. While not a large class, we students are a diverse group that represents residents from within and outside the city, first-time homeowners and retirees. ■ We've learned a little history: We learned that the first village government in Howell was formed in 1863 and city government was established in 1915. We learned that the community was named after a Judge Howell from the state of New York - something suggested by one of the community’s early founders. We learned that “My Geraldine” was the first production in The Opera House when it opened in 1881. We learned that one of the first structures built in Howell housed a hotel and tavern. ■ We've learned a little about protecting the city: We learned that the Howell Police Department takes the “community policing” philosophy seriously and will even check on residents’ homes when they are vacationing out of town. We learned through the use of a training simulator that it’s a veiy difficult, split-second decision for an officer when he or she must decide to pull the trigger or not. We learned that a firefighter must be in good physical condition just to cany ffie required gear. ■ We've learned a little about water and sewage: We learned that millions of microorganisms are hard at work each day at the city’s wastewater treatment plant helping to break down what gets flushed down the toilet into water safe to be released back into the local watershed. We learned that water is pulled fi'om at least five different wells, treated, softened and stored in two tanks to maintain proper water pressure. We learned that the city maintains some 54 miles of water mains and 18 miles of sewer lines. ■ Still to come: Sessions will focus on technology and quality of life issues such as recreational opportunities and the senior center programs and the all-important community development efforts that will help foster a better future for the community. As one of those who does not live in the city of Howell, I’ve found the program eyeopening. It’s given me - and through me the whole staff at The Livingston Community News - a deeper and broader understanding of Howell and the people who make the city work I’m impressed with the professionalism of employees, many of whom have worked for the city for decades. They are well informed, dedicated people who are working to make Howell a better community. Programs like this offer the chance to peek under the hood of the local community and make us all more understanding of each other. Check out the next class by calling the city manager’s office at 517-546- 3502.

At the assembly it was announced that his teacher, Diane Bruetsch, was named the Wal-Mart 'Teacher of the Year for Livingston County. “The winner happened to be Ms. Bruetsch for being a great teacher and teaching her kids new things every day,” John said. By winning the award, Bruetsch, 54, earns a $1,000 prize for Smith Elementary and a $100 gift certificate from Wal-Mart to use for classroom materials. “They surprised me and gave me flowers and a Livingston County Wal- Mart 'Teacher of the Year T-shirt,” Bruetsch said. Howell Wal-Mart manager Patrick Shanks and community involvement coordinator Maiy Jo Bell attended the presentation. Bell’s step-daughter, Stephani Bell, nominated Bruetsch for the honor that aims to recognize teachers who exemplify commitment to their students. “Over the summer four years ago, my mom had cancer,” Stephani said. “Ms. Bruetsch would take me and my brother to the Fowlerville Fair and buy us lunch and do the stuff my mom couldn’t do. She was a really good fiiend to me and she was always ffiere for me. I love her.” Not only were Stephani and her brother, Stephen, Bruetsch’s students, but Stephani’s mother, Barbara Sefton 'Tabit, also was Bruetsch’s student in fourth grade at the Carlson School, now the Little Glad Center in Fowlerville. “She reaches out to those in need without even thinking about it,” Stephani said in her nomination. “She taught me a lot about the kind of per- SEE TEACHER, 82 PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS 'Ms. Bruetsch ... was a really good friend to me and she was always there for me.

TEACHER FROM bi 1 hope my kids see that 'm willing to help/ she says son I want to be someday.” Diane Bruetsch has been a teacher at Fowlerville for 30 years. She graduated from Okemos High School and Central Michigan University and earned her master’s degree in general education at Michigan State University in 1984. “I hope my Idds see that I’m willing to help,” Bruetsch said. “It’s important for kids to see what kind of person you are outside the classroom and that you’re willing to go a little extra. That’s the kind of person my father, Jim Bruetsch, was. He was just one of those people who everyone could count on and he made everyone comfortable.” Bruetsch asked her students what they would like to do with the $1,000 prize and together they decided to help purchase a new stage for the school. The stage can be purchased in sections that cost $500 each. The school needs six or seven sections to replace the old stage and the Wal-Mart funds will help them toward that goal, said Smith Elementary Principal Jim Kitchen. “We’re going to get better staging to go with some of the nice'presentations we put on,” Kitchen said. 'Children need to know that they're cared for before anything else, and the kids know she cares about them/ Jim Kitchen, principal, Smith Elementary School Kitchen said Bruetsch’s greatest strength as a teacher is the relationships she builds with families. “This is a very compassionate person,” Kitchen said. “Children need to know that they’re cared for before anything else, and the kids know she cares about them. It opens up the path to learning because there is trust.” Bruetsch is eligible to enter the Michigan Wal-Mart 'Teacher of the Year competition. The company awards a $10,000 state prize to the winning teacher’s school. The national winner is awarded $25,000. Her students believe she’d be a shoo-in for the state prize. Why? “Because she’s a real good teacher,” said her second-grader Autumn McLane-Svoboda. I f Y o u W a n t I t S O L D B R I N G I T T O G R E E N S !

Kelly Siciliano Carter, a wildlife biologist with the DNR, said that “leaving wildlife in the wild” is really what’s best for the animal. “People don’t know how to handle certain types of wildlife, so most of the time they are definitely doing more harm than help,” said Carter. Carter added that animal mothers often leave their young for long periods of time and eventually return to care for them. “If you’re that concerned about the well-being of an animal, give yourself a day and go back to check on it,” she said. If the animal is still in bad shape. Carter recommends that people call their local wildlife office, where they will provide advice and contact information for proper wildlife rehabilitation centers. One local DNR-certified wildlife rehabilitation center in Livingston County is the Howell Conference and Nature Center. Nancy Sloan, wildlife rehabilitation supervisor at the nature center, also shared concern with people taking in wildlife. “People should either put the animals back where they found them, or contact a rehabilitationist instead of caring for them on their own,” she said. Carter and Sloan also said there are myths about han- , dling young animals. ♦ “The old-wives tale about * not touching young birds is « not true,” said Sloan. “The * mothers cannot smell hu- * mans so it is OK to put baby * birds back in their nests.” * While improper care by untrained individuals can harm the animal, there are also health risks for the person caring for the animal. “Some animals can carry diseases like rabies,” said Carter. “People don’t realize the risk involved with handling these wild animals.” When it comes to adopting wild animals, both Carter and Sloan said it’s a lose- '■ lose situation and that it’s best to leave wildlife in the wild.

Movies offer free fun for families in Pinckney BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Money keeps getting tighter and gas prices don’t look like they’re going down anytime soon, but families looking for a free fun night out on the town this summer can find one on selected Fridays in downtown Pinckney. Movies in the Square, the free family flicks hosted by the Pinckney Merchants Association, resume at dusk on June 15 with “Charlotte’s Web” in the Putnam Township Square on Main Street. “People can’t spend $20 to see a movie,” said Melissa McCotter, organizer of Movies in the Square. “Here, they can see a free one. It’s nice that the community can offer this. If you’re having hard times, you can still come to town and have fun.” Outdoor movies were shown in town for many summers in years past. The merchants revived the tradition four years ago. Like last year, movies will be shown two Fridays a month in June, July and August. If weather cancels a show, it will be played the next Friday, weather permitting, said McCotter, owner of Playin’ With Hair, 147 S. Howell St., Pinckney. Movies are shown on a screen made from a large white dropcloth suspended between two trees. As in the past, there will be a mbc of live-action and animated films, all of which are family friendly with a rating no higher than PG-13. Movie watchers are encouraged to bring their own blankets and lawn chairs. Popcorn is sold for 50 cents a bag and pop and water are available for $1, but families can bring their own munchies if they wish. Sponsorship of the films by local merchants keeps the movies free and has helped the association purchase its own DVD projector, speakers and screen, McCotter said. “Movies in the Square is just the greatest fun,” McCotter said. “It makes you feel like a kid again to sit outside and spend time with your family watching a great movie.” The Pinckney Merchants Association accepts donations toward all of its events, which also include Pumpkins in the Square and Light up the Park. To contribute or find out more about Movies in the Square, call McCotter at 734-878-9333.

SEE ATHLETES,C2 Brighton golfer sets torrid pace at state finals Vanessa Koechli breaks 2 school records, hits 31 greens BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter To put Vanessa Koechli’s weekend performance at the Division I state golf finals in perspective, consider this: PGA Tour statistics say the best golfers in the world hit greens in regulation less than 55 percent of the time. Koechli blistered the Forest Akers West course in East Lansing by hitting 31 of 36 greens in regulation, a whopping 86 percent, to finish in a tie for third. The sophomore set school re cords for 18 holes with a one-over-par 73 on June 1 and followed up with a 78 for a school-record 36-hole score of 151. She propelled Brighton to a second straight fifth-place showing. The Bulldogs were just three shots out of fourth with a score of 723. “My irons were really good,” she said. “I have been working hard on them. It was good to see them pay off.” The Bulldogs were pleased to beat rivals Farmington Hills Mercy and Ann Arbor Pioneer in the standings. Juniors Sara Walker (89-93-182) and Kelsey Haupt (92-91-183) turned in solid rounds. “We achieved about as much as we could achieve,” coach Bill Miller said. “We might have been able to move up one spot, but that’s OK.” Now, like the rest of the state, the girls must prepare for the change of seasons. They’ll tee it up again in the fall with four of five golfers who competed at states re turning. “I don’t know how the players are going to react, having back-to-back seasons,” Miller said. “I’m just going to roll with the punches. I’ve got a game plan that I won’t reveal.” Koechli said she won’t change her summer schedule to combat golf burnout this fall. She will play in several American Junior Golf Association events and also two top-notch Golf Association of Michigan championships. TVo-time defending state champion Shannon Warner of Livonia Churchill returns, as does the impressive siste r duo of Amy and Christine Meier of Rochester. “I just have to work as hard as I can to become a state champ,” Koechli said. “I can do that, if I just practice for me. I don’t go thinking about other people at states. I think about what I have to do to shoot low.” ALAN WARREN.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton's Vanessa Koechli reacts to an errant tee shot i during the Division 1 Girls Golf Finals June 1 at the West Course at Forest Akers Golf Course at Mich igan S ta te University.

PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS S e a s o n y ie ld s 2 s ta n d o u ts David Emery, of Pinckney, runs ahead of the pack as this year's top male athlete BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter As a junior, David Emery was just another runner in a congested pack of talented Pinckney Pirates. Today, the senior is Pinckney’s leader and best. He is also The Livingston Community News Male High School Athlete of the Year. Explaining Emery’s transformation is simple: A dedication to train harder. Emery says his workouts over the summer are what led to his Division 1 state championship in cross-country and his amazing, performance at the Division I state track and field finals last weekend. He helped the Pirates to a school-record time of 7 minutes, 49.20 seconds, and third place, in the 3,200 relay; was second in the 1,600 to the defending state champion in a school-record time of 4:14.15; and placed eighth in the 800 in 1:56.61. To cap his career, he won the 3,200 in 9:22.02 and scored 25 of Pinckney’s 26 points almost by himself. “It would have to be one of the best performances by a distance runner of all time,” Pinckney coach Tom Carney says. It all came together for Emery one year after he failed to qualify for states in the 1,600 meters, the race he considers his signature. “Not making the mile at states (as a junior) was the biggest disappointment,” Emery says. “I had done well all year and I sort of choked (at regionals). It definitely gave me the motivation to work.” SEE EMERY,C2 Otherr to p candidates: Here's a look at several other high school athletes (in alphabetical order) who had stellar senior seasons: ■ Dean Hamlin, Whitmore Lake - The do-it-all quarterback threw for 1,931 yards with 18 touchdowns and ran for 404 yards and eight scores in football, started as point guard on the basketball team and is a solid catcher in baseball. ■ Caitlin McGuire, Hartland - A Division I state qualifer in both tennis and golf in her career. She broke Hartland's 9-hole record by shooting even-par 36 this spring. ■ Alex Miller, SEE SENIORS,C2 3-season athlete Anna Patritto excels on the court and diamond, named top athlete BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter Anna Patritto’s junior year was a real pain. Bursitis in her knee slowed her down considerably during the basketball season that fall and forced her to skip volleyball altogether. She played softball in the spring but didn’t hit nearly as well as she did as a fi^shman. Healthy again, it’s no surprise Patritto has produced bigtime in her senior season. She was named Class A first-team all-state guard-forward in basketball, contributed as an imposing middle blocker in volleyball and is putting up all-state fype numbers on the diamond this spring. She’s hitting .512 with five home runs. She is believed to be the first female Highlander to ever earn 10 varsity letters, making her, arguably, the best three-sport female athlete in school history. Patritto is a shoo-in for The Livingston Community News Female High School Athlete of the Year. “Confidence, you acquire it over the years. You know what to expect,” she says, explaining her success this season. Her coaches rave about her impact on their teams. “She is a really dynamic athlete on’the court,” Howell volleyball coach Anne Armstrong says. “She is probably the most coachable player I’ve ever coached. Just tell her things one or two times, and she’s got it down.” Howell girls basketball coach Lee Piepho says her potential is unlimited. Patritto, named most viuable player in the Kensington Valley Conference, led the Highlanders (20-4) to a SEE PATRITTO,C2 Brighton, Fowlerville follow different training paths to playoffs BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter The Brighton and Fowlerville baseball teams are tuning up for regionals Saturday with different schools of thou^t. The Gladiators played some serious baseball, and some tough competition in the Diamond Classic in Lansing. Brighton coach George Reck considered scheduling another game, but chose instead a more light-hearted approach: an inter-squad scrimmage. He planned to save his pitching arms by sending two former Bulldogs to the mound, assistant coach Charlie Christner and his brother, Jesse. “This is better (than a game),” says Reck, who won a district title in his first season as head coach. “We can get more swings by dividing the team in half.” The Bulldogs will meet Portage Northern in a Division I regional semifinal at 10 a.m. Saturday at Owosso. Brighton’s ace lyier Loehr (8-3 with two saves) will be counted on heavily. Loehr threw five innings in a no-hit 9-0 district semifinal win over Fenton and pitched the final two innings of a 7-4 win over Kensington Valley Conference champion Hartland. “This group seems to thrive on pressure. We played two of our best games of the year” at districts. Reck says. “We pitched well. That bodes well for us.” Like Brighton, Fowlerville won its second straight district championship by upsetting its rival conference champion. Gladiator junior Josh Wedesl^ shut down DeWitt, 1-0, in the semis by allowing the Capital Area Activities Association division 3 champs just two hits. Fowlerville beat St. Johns, 5-2 in the title game. The Glads face North Branch (16-20) at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Division 2 regional at De- Witt, with Mount Morris (33-6) looming in the other half of the bracket. Fowlerville coach Mike Hanna says pitching has been his team’s No. 1 ingredient. Wedesl^ is 9-2, but in both losses he allowed just she hits combined. Dominique Policella (8-0) would be No. 1 at some schools, with Justin Stawara and Zack Kissel (5-3) as a solid supporting cast. WedeslQf went the distance in a 3-1 win over Division I power Grand Ledge June 5 in the Classic. The details of the Fowlerville-Okemos championship showdown weren’t available. Hanna hopes the additional innings don’t adversely affect his staff. “Our pitching has been there for us the whole season,” Hanna says. “Whoever we throw out there, we know we have a chance.” C2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2007 R U N N I N G C A L E N D A R ■ June 10, Ann Arbor Triathlon/Duathlon, Pinckney Recreation Area, Halfmoon Lake Beach, Pinckney, www.eliteendeavors. com.

EMERY FROM Cl Emery surprised many by winning state title last fall ALANWARREN.THE UVINGSTON COMMUN[TY NEWS David Emery, of Pinckney, battles Cole Sanseverino, of Monroe, in the boys 1,600- meter run at the 2007 MHSAA Track and Field Finals at East Kentwood High School June 2. Emery finished second to Sanseverino, but later won the 3,200 meters. Emery says that in past summers he’s been so busy with Boy Scouts and other activities he was lucky to train twice a week. Last summer, he ran nearly every day, with a shove out the door from his father Don. “There was more focus,” Don Emery says. David Emery says he ran 40 miles a week. The extra effort paid off. Placing 54th overall at the state meet as a junior, and fourth among his own teammates, Emery surprised many by winning the state title last fall, propelling the Pirates to their second straight team championship. “I never really thought I was a cross-country runner until this year. Then I fell in love. Track has always been my favorite,” he says. It was his first taste of being an elite runner. “He is really an endurance animal,” Carney says. “His overall cardiovascular system is amazing. With the addition of some speed through training, he has adapted well.” Emery is somewhat of an anomaly as a top racer. His father swears he eats like a hog and never gains weight. Emery wishes he was shorter than his 6-foot-3-inch thin frame, but his size hasn’t proven to be a hindrance. His long legs have earned him a scholarship to run at Middle Tennessee State University. He’s in full training mode for the Midwest Meet of Champions at Jackson High this weekend and the Nike outdoor nationals the following weekend. “I’ve taken a little more laid-back approach this year and it has worked. (The big events) are just another race,” he says. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-20 i2.

The Oakland University recruit led the state by making 48 percent of her three-point attempts. “She is so multidimensional,” Piepho says. “She’s got an inside game and can post people up. From a defensive standpoint, it is tough to guard her. With her strength and quickness, she can guard people in the post. With her length, she can be an outstanding college player.” ^ tritto , a regular at first base who has played some shortstop, is currently struggling to get over a sprained ankle to help the Highlanders go deeper into the softball playoffs. She has led the Highlanders to three straight district titles, and they were vying for a fourth against Okemos (details weren’t available at press time). “She certainly is looked up to. We go as Anna goes,” Howell softball coach Paul Bushong says. As soon as softball wraps up, she will begin preparing for her future on the basketball court. “I think there is room for me to play” right away with the Grizzlies, she says. “They are a talented team. I have to work hard.” That has never been a problem for the talkative girl who lets her talent make the most noise. Howell's Anna Patritto shoots between Pinckney's Heather Pitt, left, and Shanisha Wyka in a game in 2005. The fouryear starter was a Class A firstteam all-stater as a senior.

He can hang out with friends all day, play his drums without the interruption of homework, and prepare for the 23rd annual Michigan Challenge Balloonfest. “This weekend is like Christmas for him,” says Julie Miller, Timmy’s mother, speaking of the annual hot air balloon competition that comes to Howell June 22-24. While the weekend also features carnival rides, arts and crafts, classic cars and skydivers, it’s all about the balloons, and the pilots, according to Timmy. His fascination with and collection of hot air balloon memorabilia has soared since 2001, when then-3-year-old Timmy had the experience of a lifetime. “They landed in our backyard,” he explains. It wasn’t just one or two hot air balloons. It was 32 landing in his Oceola Township backyard. “I can still remember it,” he says. According to Julie Miller, “I woke up and saw this balloon coming toward our house.” She grabbed her husband and went outside. A man, piloting the Father and Son balloon, was hovering, says Chuck Miller, Timmy’s father. SEE BALLOONFEST, A4 Timmy M iller, 9, of Oceola Township ioves hot a ir baiioons so much that he has compiied a book of balloon cards that he has collected from balloon festivals around Michigan. He is looking forward to the upcoming Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell on June 22-24. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS M ic h ig a n Challenge Balloonfest information, A 4 US-2 3 : Bad, ugly good? Yes, indeed: Northbound work is finished, but there's more to the story BYTOMTOLEN News Staf f Reporter Summer has always been known as “construction season” in Michigan. No where is that more apparent this year than along that critical stretch of US-23 between Brighton and Ann Arbor. The heavily traveled stretch of highway that connects Livingston County with Ann Arbor has been reduced to one lane in one direction or another since March. That will continue through August. Under the best of conditions, US-23 can be a commuter’s headache. An estimated 11,000 Livingston County residents commute daily to jobs in Ann Arbor. Reducing the flow of trafflc from what most would call an inadequate two lanes to one is not the best of conditions. At the moment, construction crews are focusing on bridge work in the southbound lanes of US-23 between Silver Lake Road and M-36. That follows the completion of similar work on the northbound lanes with more repaving still to come before the work wraps up at the end of August. With apologies to Italian director Sergio Leone and American film star Clint Eastwood, traveling US-23 this summer can be likened to their 1966 spaghetti western titled, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” ■ The good: Work on the northbound side is completed, which makes the return trip from Ann Arbor smooth sailing. By the end of the summer, the work will result in new, safer pavement for most of the stretch between Brighton and Ann Arbor. ■ The bad: Longer commutes, being late to work, missed medical appointments. ■ The ugly: Road rage that is spilling over onto highway workers and an increasing number of tickets for motorists who like to use the emergency cuts in the median as turnaround points. At the moment, most days feel more bad and ugly than good. “It’s awful, it’s horrible,” says Linda Harper about her daily commute down US-23 to her job in Ann Arbor. “It takes an hour-and-a-half to get to my job,” says the Hamburg Township resident, noting that the drive took 30 minutes before the southbound work began. The US-23 project includes reconstruction of four freeway overpasses and resurfacing on both sides of the expressway, reducing the two lanes to a single lane, although work is being 'done in just one direction at a time. US-23 was overdue for a facelift, says state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kari SEE US-23, A4 Howell C ity Council on board with north-south commuter rail plan, A6 Above, traffic backs up on Whitmore Lake Road along with US-23 due to this year's road work.

The 475-member Howell Education Association ratified the pact prior to board action Monday night. 'frustee Wendy Day cast the lone dissenting vote, saying she did not think the district should “approve a contract we can’t afford.” Other trustees said they supported the pact fully, except for board Treasurer Phil Westmoreland who, although voting for it, said he will look to administrators to find new ways to pay for it. “I’m not looking to make more cuts,” he said. The contract will cost the district an additional $750,000- $1 million, depending on insurance contingencies in the contract’s third year, said Associate Superintendent for Finance Rick Terres. The contingencies tie insurance costs to changes in a prescription drug plan as well as changes in teacher contributions to help pay for health insurance. The district spents between $34-35 million on teacher costs each year, Terres said. The district’s current general fund budget is $66 milhon. Officials have said the district is facing a $2.5 million deficit, which is expected to be addressed Tuesday at a SEE CONTRACTS,A4 Trustee Jeanne C lum resigns, board to fill post soon, A3 INDEX Achievers B3 Calendar B4 Livingston Life B1-6 Retail Report A7 Rick Fitzgerald's column B1 Scrapbook B2 Sports C l-2 Volunteers B4 To report news or for free home delivery call (810)844-2000.

The intermediate school district’s board of education conducted second interviews earlier this week with Whitmore Lake Superintendent Scott Menzel and James Coolican, the former superintendent of the Peninsula School District in Gig Harbor, Wash. The two were selected as finalists about a week ago from a slate of six candidates seeking the job that will be vacated by Sally Vaughn, who becomes the chief academic officer for the state Department of Education this summer. Menzel and Coolican were chosen based on their background in education, leadership abilities and experience as superintendents in their districts, said Julie Hill, LESA board president. The board plans to make an offer to one of them at a 7 p.m. meeting June 20 in the LESA Education Center, 1425 W. Grand River Ave. in Howell. “We are on a fast track,” said Julie Hill, LESA board president. “Once you get into summer, it’s very difficult to conduct a thorough search, especially when you want to do site visits.” Menzel was a finalist earlier this year for the superintendent job in the Saginaw Intermediate School District. He’s in his fifth year in Whitmore Lake and has a contract that extends to January 2012. He currently earns a $107,250 salary. Menzel was an administrator in the Hillsdale Intermediate School District before coming to Whitmore Lake. He also has intermediate district experience in Jackson County and was executive director of South Central Michigan Works, which oversees programs to help workers find and keep jobs and help employers re cruit and hire skilled workers. C oolican, a retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel, left the 9,500-student Peninsula School District last August and moved to southeast- Whitore Lake school Superintendent Scott Menzel is one of two finalists to lead the Livingston Educational Services Agency as its superintendent. ern Michigan to be closer to family, said his former secretary. He was with that district for seven years. He also was a finalist earlier this year for the Lansing School District’s superintendent job. Other candidates for the LESA superintendent job were Nancy Staub, Pinckney Community Schools a s sistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction; Jeanne Farina, Howell Public Schools assistant superintendent for curriculum; Susan Allen, Grosse Pointe Public Schools assistant superintendent; and Dennis Wilson, superintendent of Uinta County School District No. 1 in Evanston, Wyo.

The City Council voted last week to authorize the sale of general obligation bonds not to exceed $3 million to pay for the projects. The bonds will be paid off in annual installments for up to 25 years. “The projects are consistent with street improvements (the city) started in 1995 when the residents approved a five-year street bond issue,” said city engineering consultant Linda Basista of 'Tetra Tech in Brighton. “When the five years were up, they continued with the street improvement program because they promised residents they would improve the streets, and that’s part of their goals.” The City Council’s goals for the coming year are determined at the annual fall goalsetting retreat. Plans are to upgrade Spencer Road this summer between Church and East Main streets at a cost of about $400,000. A total of $500,000 was budgeted for the project, but Basista said construction bids came in lower than estimates, with the low bid being $315,000. The improvements include removing the old pavement on the block-long portion between Church Street and Miller School, putting on a new surface with curb and gutter and two islands to separate the eastbound and westoound traffic lanes, and repaving the oneway section between the school and East Main Street. The portion of Spencer Road has been problematic for years. due to the high amount of traffic generated by the school and, across the street, the Sloan athletic field. City officials hope the reconstruction will improve the situation. The biggest chunk of the bond money will go toward a $1 million project on Oakridge Drive on the city’s south side, involving removal of the concrete surface, replacing it with a new asphalt surface and performing drainage and other related work. The construction, between Devonshire and Rickett Road, will take place next spring, Basista said. Sidewalks for the south side of Brighton Lake Road, from just past Third Street to the west city limits, at $230,000, are the fined major project on the list. The other 11 smaller projects are scattered throughout the city.

Pinckney Sewer construction on council agenda A construction bid to extend sewer and water service to businesses and property on East M-36 is expected to be awarded by the Pinckney Village Council at its 7:30 p.m. meeting June 25 in Village Hall, 220 S. Howell St. The council also will conduct a public hearing to further discuss the project and set the special assessment district and fees these property owners will pay to have the utilities brought to their sites. At its meeting Monday, the council adopted resolutions estimating the total cost of the project at about $525,988. It also opened kix bids from contractors vying for the job that ranged finm about $371,400 to $482,300. They will be evaluated by Stantec, Pinckney’s engineering firm, before the council casts its vote. Schools extend Danosky's contract Based on its earlier positive evaluation, the Pinckney Community Schools board of education has extended the contract of Superintendent Dan Danosky by another year. The board on June 7 unanimously agreed that Danosky’s contract be extended through June 2010. His salary remains the same at about $125,000. The only change to the contract was the removal of the item referring to Danosky’s moving expenses, which no longer applied. Danosky was hired last year to replace Superintendent Mike Couchman who retired. From Ness staff reports D&G J o h n De e r e F A T H E R ' S D A Y S A V I N G S !

The Howell Board of Education is taking applications for the post through 3:30 p.m. today and is expected to ^ consider filling it as early as Tuesday night. The district’s policy calls for a replacement to be named within 20 days. Clum, 49, who has served as board secretary and was most recently board vice president, made her announcement at the end of Monday night’s regular board meeting. A combination of health problems involving diabetes and hypertension prompted doctors to recommend Clum make the change. She said it was a difficult decision. “Howell schools has been a part of me for nearly twothirds of my life - first as a student, then an active par- ^ ent of our three children ... 9 and finally as a member of this board of education,’’ she said. “It’s hard to walk away.” She is the marketing and development director for the Livingston County United ^ Way, where she said she will continue to devote her energies. Clum also is active in the Howell Rotary Club and in many other community groups. She challenged the board to replace her with someone who has children enrolled in the district and has a vested interest in the district. “I would further challenge that this person has no agenda other than seeing our dis- Looking ahead ■ What: Filling an open seat on the Howeli school board left vacant by the resignation Monday of Trustee Jeanne Clum. ■ How: Applicarits must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the Howell Public Schools district. Submit a letter of intent (no faxes or e-mails) to the Howell Public Schools Board of Education, 411 N. Highlander Way, Howell, Ml 48843. ■ Deadline: 3:30 p.m. today; detailed questions will be given to applicants and must be completed and returned to the board office no later than 11 a.m. Monday. (No faxes or emails accepted.) ■ When post will be filled: The school board will consider and evaluate applications Tuesday at a scheduled 7 p.m. board meeting. According to information from board President Sue Drazic, the board is expected to consider an appointment that evening. District policy says the post must be filled within 20 days. ■ Details: 517-546-6234. trict through these tumultuous times, desires to help lead us into the future and serves in the best interest for all of our children,” she noted. She said she hopes someone with a strong business background, as well, might be selected. Her community service is what has served her well during her time on the board, said fellow trustees. “Jeanne’s heart has always been in the right place,” said Ted Parsons, who also will leave the board at the end of the month after not seeking Trustee Jeanne Clum resigned her post on the Howell school board last Monday. The school board is on a fast track to replace her, possibly as early as Tuesday. re-election in May. “I’ve certainly appreciated working with you.” 'Trustee Mary Jo Dymond talked of the difficulty shared at the board table. “Until you. sit at this table you can have no idea how difficult it can be to make an instant decision sometimes,” she said. Then, turning to Clum, she said: “You’re going to take care of yourself because, in the end, that’s the most important thing.” Clum said the past two years of turmoil that has surrounded the board and the school district has made her board service a challenge and that she must now take care of her health. Superintendent Chuck Breiner said Clum has been “a stalwart in the district through one of the most difficult times I’ve seen” and called her “a community force,” “a reasoned voice” and “passionate, bright and articulate all in one package.” Clum was in the middle of her second four-year term; she was re-elected in 2005. The person appointed to replace her would have to run for office in May 2008 to maintain the seat until 2009, said board President Sue Drazic.

The $1.27 million budget goes into effect July 1. The cost of the master plan, which was added to the Planning Commission’s coffers, jumps the budget up from $1.25 million. I It also causes the village to use $15,000 more of its $560,000 fund equity instead of the originally projected $3,500 to balance next year’s budget, but the village will keep its millage rates the same as last P year at 8 mills for the general fund and 2 mills for the general highway fund, said President Rebecca Foster. Because Pinckney made changes in employee health care that resulted in about $6,000 in savings, a 3 percent raise was approved for the village’s nine full-time and two part-time employees, who have had their salaries frozen for the last two years. Elected officials’ pay will stay the same. At the request of Trustee Bob Stone, the $151,580 budget proposed by Pinckney’s Downtown Development Authority was voted on separately. The DDA drafts its own budget, but the figure must be reviewed and approved by the council. Downtown development authorities are eligible for tax increment financing, which allows a percentage of the taxes for any new construction in a DDA’s boundaries to be captured and used for improvements in the DDA district. Stone has long objected to the DDA, saying he thinks it uses tax dollars to the advantage of a small segment of the village population. “I’m against using taxpayers’ dollars to fund private enterprise, whether it’s for a new awning, to reface a building or improve a parking lot,” Stone said. “I don’t think it best represents all the residents of the community. I think it only represents the business part of this community.” Stone’s objections are more targeted at the DDA in general, not with its budget, said Trustee Tom Pais, so in the end only Stone voted no on the figure. The council approved the DDA budget contingent on it not moving forward with a facade reimbursement plan until the plan is amended to reflect that it is a rebate program instead of the revolving loan it was originally designed to be.

Third- and fourth-graders at the Pinckney school spent the year recycling nothing but plastic in a contest led ' by fourth-grade teacher E ric ' Dickman. In the end, it kept 595 pounds of food containers, bottles, utensils, milk jugs and pudding cups from being thrown out with the trash. “That’s good,” said 8-yearold third-grader Damon Hartmeier. “It keeps the Earth from getting all dirty and stuff.” Third-graders won the contest by collecting 316.5 pounds of plastic, but everyone is a winner when they recycle, Dickman said. “The prize is relieving the landfills of all this garbage,” he said. “We did this by doing nothing more than having fun.” Even an Earth Day trip around the school and through the woods to pick up litter turned into a chance to recycle, said Kyle White, 9, a third-grader. “It was the best part,” he said. “We thought maybe we’d find something to recycle, but we found a lot of plastic to recycle.” Students brought their recyclable plastic items to JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Lakeland Elementary School third- and fourth-graders collected 595 pounds of plastic food containers, bottles, utensils, milk jugs and pudding cups throughout the school year and recycled them, keeping them out of area landfills. Here, students unroll a scroll that their teacher used to keep track of the number of recycled items collected. Third-graders won the school challenge. school where they were weighed every week. Dickman kept a lengthy chart of their progress, which was unfurled for students to see at the end of the year. “Even the parents got caught up in this,” Dickman said. “I had some tell me their children wouldn’t let them throw anything plastic away.” That’s happy news to Dickman, who’s been an avid recycler for 25 years. “I looked at all 'the plastic containers from the kids’ school lunches that were just being thrown away and it made me wince,” he said. “I knew this would be an easy project to do and I wanted to show everyone how easy it really is to recycle.” Leanne Smith can be reached at ismith@ iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011.

Several times last year potholes opened up on bridge decks and traffic had to be stopped to make emergency repairs, she says. In 2005, US-23 handled an average of 43,500 vehicles per day between Brighton and M-36 and 65,000 to 66,000 vehicles per day from M-36 to Ann Arbor. The munbers have increased since then, but those are the most recent figures available. Earlier this week fewer vehicles were noted than might be expected in the serpentine queue of commuter traffic on southbmmd US-23, and there are myriad reasons why, Arend says. “It might be (people on) summer vacation, people finding alternate routes or adjusting their (work schedule) times,” she says, adding MDOT met with major employers in the Ann Arbor area before the project started, with good results. “Employers have been receptive to making adjustments for employees in adjusting start times and alternatives,” Arend says. One of the alternate routes people have been taking to avoid US-23 is Whitmore Lake Road, although it is not a direct route. During morning rush hour, southbound traffic on Whitmore Lake Road is typically backed up for nearly a mile while vehicles proceed through the four-way stop at M-36. Other commuters have been skipping the highway corridor completely and heading into Ann Arbor by way of Pinckney and Dexter. Harper would love to avoid US-23 to get to her job in Ann Arbor, but she finds any possible alternate routes too outof- the-way to be practical. She JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Traffic passes by constructio n w orker G a ry W elch as he works on bridge repairs on the southbound side of US-23 near M-36 in Livingston County. Construction work on US-23 w ill continue through August. also says the project may be all for naught if US-23 is widened to six lanes in the future, as proposed. “They are going through studies to widen it, and then they do this; it just doesn’t make any sense,” she says. Tammy Wilson, manager of the Lee Road Clark gas station just outside Brighton, says drivers sometimes get angiy fi’om two-lane traffic being merged into a single lane near her business. The traffic is often backed up all the way to 1-96. Wilson saw one driver go off the road and around another vehicle that had forced its way in. “People are constantly asking, ‘How do you get out of this?’ Wilson says. “It’s difficult to get to U-M,” adds Margaret Cabaj of Brighton Township, who works at the university as a secretary. “I feel really bad about ambulance drivers - it’s hard to get the patient in (to the hospital),” Cabaj says. Shawn Tinkey of HNTB Corp. in Tecumseh, the company overseeing the highway work for MDOT, says there has been an increase in road rage since crews began work on the southbound lanes. One reason may be that commuters are trying to get to work on time, rather than coming home at the end of the day. “On the southbound side, people are more unruly,” Tinkey says. He says the biggest infraction is “people cutting people off.” State police report 15 mostly rear-end crashes in the southbound lanes of US-23 since work started March 1 compared to nine similar crashes on the northbound lanes. Even the construction crew has to put up with occasional rude remarks. “We see people hollering at us, like at a sports bar,” Tinkey says. He shrugs it off, saying it’s a natural part of “people venting their ^ s - tration.” At present, workers are concentrating on upgrading freeway bridges. As part of the work, crews are removing 2 inches of old concrete and replacing it with new concrete, which should last another 15 years. “We’re trying to do a a 10-year fix on the asphalt portion and 15 years on the bridges,” he says. Later this summer, MDOT will repair and resurface both the north and south sides of US-23 from Silver Lake Road south to Barton Drive. Arend says the work will be done from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. to minimize the impact on traffic. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009. BALLOONFEST FROM A1 Book holds boy's collection of ballooning treasures “He asked if he could land in our bacl^ard. We said, ‘Sure,’ and he asked, ‘Do you mind if I bring a few friends?”’ The Millers said OK, forever changing the way their son saw his yard, and balloons. Hot air balloons “just kept coming and coming, for more than an hour. We were thrilled,” Julie Miller recalls. “Up until then, Timmy was afraid of balloons.” As a show of thanks to the Millers, 15 pilots left balloon cards (think baseball cards) and unwittingly jump-started Timmy’s passion for ballooning. Today, Timmy is the proud owner of more than 50 balloon cards, magnets, pins and pictures. He has balloon tattoos and rosters from area hot air balloon competitions. He also has letters from balloon pilots and a swatch of nylon from one balloon’s envelope (the part that inflates). Timmy’s treasure trove has not come without hard work, by him and his parents, who attended four Michigan ballooning festivals last year. His parents regularly approach pilots seeking mementos for Timmy’s balloon book, an album that stores his treasured items. “We’ve become balloon chasers,” jokes Chuck Miller, who has even knocked on the car windows of pilots after an event in search of autographs or balloon cards. “He has a real passion for it, and we want to support him,” Chuck Miller says. “I really like hot air balloons,” Timmy says, “and wanted to collect balloon cards.” In an effort to build on the initial 15 cards, he wrote to pilots in local competitions. With the help of his mother and the Internet, Timmy found the names and addresses of pilots across the country. To date, Timmy has sent more than 50 letters asking for items to include in his balloon book. “The response has been really wonderful,” says his mother, citing about 40 pilots who mailed items back. “One of the addresses was even wrong, but the woman (recipient) went out and took a picture of a hot air balloon and mailed it back to us.” Jerry Stephan of Howell is one of the pilots who responded to Timmy’s inquiry. He remembered landing in Timmy’s baclgrard, and is happy to have had such an positive impact. “A coincidence like that just doesn’t happen very often,” says the pilot of 33 years. “Balloons always attract kids and adults who are young at heart, but not many people have the (passion) Timmy does.” Stephan, who goes up regularly, continues to fuel Timmy’s fire about balloons every chance he gets with low fly-overs. Recently, he Timmy M ille r ■ Age: 9. ■ Residence: Oceola Township. ■ Fam ily: Parents Chuck and Julie Miller; sisters Erika, 19, and Rebekah, 7; brother Daniel, 14. ■ Passions: Drums, which he has studied for three years, and hot air balloons. ■ Fa vo rite hot a ir balioon: Darth Vader, housed in Belgium. ■ Fa vo rite movies: "Star Wars" series. ■ Fa vo rite sport: Basketball.

He made a “low pass and called out, ‘Is that Timmy?’ He said ‘Yes, it’s me.’ Well, his mom put Timmy and his sister in the car, and they chased us,” Stephan explains. When he landed, Stephan invited Timmy to help put the balloon’s envelope away. “He’s really nice,” Timmy says of Stephan, listing him among his favorite balloon pilots. Timmy says he’d like to pilot a balloon one day - one shaped in a circle, with a castle on top. Though he’s still working on a name for his fictitious balloon, he says he first has to work on a different dream. He’d like to take a ride in a balloon for his 10th birthday next March. Still, if that dream doesn’t come true, he’ll settle for having the pilots in this year’s Balloonfest land in his backyard again. “Timmy would be a great host,” says his mother. Stephan doesn’t doubt it, but said winds, not wishes, must determine where the balloons will land. Laurie Humphrey can be reached at lhumphrey@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2003.

The board will host its required hearing and adopt the new fiscal budget June 25. The first year of the teacher contract is retroactive to July 1, 2006, and calls for a 1 percent increase to the salary grid with 0.5 percent paid retroactively (the other 0.5 percent pays insurance costs for the past year) and 2.25 percent increases in the second and third years, with each teacher paying $750 toward insurance in the second year. The third year of employee contributions will be determined by the percentage of insurance rate increases. The contract allows the teachers to keep the Michigan Education Association’s MESSA insurance - something that became a negotiation sticking point in recent months. In February, the board named itself the insurance policyholder and attempted to negotiate different insurance for the teachers. In order to keep MESSA, as recommended by the state mediator, the school board Monday voted to rescind that February action. School officials said that MESSA kept its premium increases to just 4.56 percent, making it a costeffective option. The new contract ranks Howell teachers fourth in pay of Livingston County’s five school districts, said Superintendent Chuck Breiner. He recommended the pact, calling it “the best agreement our negotiators could bring forward.” “Is anyone pleased with this contract? I don’t think so,” noted school board president Sue Drazic. “But this is what ^ we had to come to through a mediator.” HE A President Doug Norton thanked the board for its vote. “It was a very, very difficult bargaining year,” he said. “I’m glad this is over so we M can turn 100 percent of our ^ energies to making this the best school district.” The board also ratified a two-year contract with its support personnel, freezing wages for those with health insurance and giving, retroactively to July 1, 2006, a 1 percent wage increase for those who have no health insurance. All support employees will get a 2 percent wage increase in the 2007-08 year. MESSA Choices II insurance coverage also was negotiated in this contract. Terres said the contract would add about $45,000 to the district’s expenses. ^ Casey Hans can be reached at chans@ iivingstoncommun'itynews .com or at 810-844-2005.

Boudouris, 51, is riding an Orbea Orca carbon-fiber, lightweight bicycle in a one-man Bridge 2 Bridge tour across ^ America nde to raise money and awareness for cystic fibrosis. “The purpose of this ride is to create awareness of what cystic fibrosis is,” Boudouris said. “CF is a disorder caused ^ by a genetic defect that affects ^ the lungs and the pancreas. The lungs become fibrous, and most CF people need a lung transplant.” Boudouris’ daughter, 24-yearold Barbara, was diagnosed with CF when she was 19. “I have a sense of urgency to raise money for research,” Boudouris said. “I am trying to raise funds for the CF Foundation and the Esiason Foundation.” Boudouris chose his Bridge 2 Bridge ride because exercise is so important in the life of CF patients and because exercise has helped him recover fi-om two h e ^ attacks, the first in 1998. Boudouris trained over the winter at a second home in San Antonio, Texas, and rode across the Golden Gate Bridge on May 1. He has averaged 70 miles a day in a meandering route across the West and Midwest. He held up in Chicago last week to wait for his “sag wagon” driver for the Chicago-Tbledo leg of his journey. (Origin of the term sag wagon is unclear - it may stand for “support and gear,” but some bicyclists say the wagon is to pick up tired riders who are “sagging.”) Laurie Kline is a childhood Wend from his hometown of Toledo who now lives in Portland, Ore.

Most of the 30 residents attending a June 6 township board meeting about the projects were concerned that the fix and upgrade to the wastewater treatment plant would add $438 to their annual sewer bill.R epairs are needed, township officials said, because discharges from the plant contain levels of sodium, chloride, phosphorus and inorganic ni trogen higher than the state allows and these chemicals are seeping into the groundwater. “We were hit with this project without any idea that any of this was going on,” said resident Vita Licata. “We received no written notice or anything. Something of this magnitude should go to a vote of the people, not a vote of the board.” The township, though, is looking to apply for a 20-year state loan to pay for the project, which doesn’t require a public vote. And if they wanted to be on this year’s loan schedule, paperwork had to be in by July 1. The timelines were such that a 30-day notice for a June 6 public hearing, listing the $16 million cost of the wastewater treatment plant project, had to be posted before the board had a full report fi-om its engineers at OHM on alternatives, said Supervisor Cindy Pine. “We’ve never done this before,” Pine said. “The timetable was so abbreviated to meet the deadline, that the cost information only became available at the last minute.” When the board met May 23 to look at the full project, engineers had found alternatives that cut the price to $8 million, but even that didn’t set well with most board members. By the end of that meeting, the board had voted to postpone filing its loan application for another year to keep looking at lower-cost alternatives, but go ahead with the June 6 meeting to hear public comments. The board voted that night to send all township sewer users written notice of future discussions and public hearings in the wastewater treatment plant project. And it also went ahead with the public hearing on the Ore Lake sewer rehabilitation project, which can be paid for without passing on additional costs to residents; said Clerk Joanna Hardesty. Ore Lake’s sewers were damaged by 2004 flooding of the lake and the Huron River. Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News Staff Reporter Plans to move forward on road improvements along the D-19 corridor and a loop road on the south side of Howell have hit a snag that is forcing the Howell City Council to change its approach to the related projects. It’s a move that will add at least $70,000 in costs and another six months to the project. “'This is just a real bite in the shorts,” said Council Member Dawn Cooper, responding to mandates from the Michigan Department of Transportation. A four-legged roundabout, and connection of the two improvement sites is at heart of the issue. While the $8.5 million loop road improvement will be funded locally, D-19 work will hinge on a $1.2 million federal grant, a $942,000 Michigan Economic Development Corp. grant, and support from the city’s Downtown Development Authority. As a result, city officials must comply with state and federal requirements. According to Howell City Manager Shea Charles, city officials have postponed $3.5 million in reconstruction work along D-19, and the extension of National Street twice at the request of MDOT. The first request would have allowed work on the two projects to proceed in conjunction with I- 96 ramp improvements made by MDOT in 2007. A second request delayed the start date to 2008 so traffic could be diverted onto D-19 and away from Burkhart Road, where MDOT employees continue to reconstruct streets and make bridge repairs. “All this time, we’ve been working (and meeting) with MDOT” administrators to coordinate efforts, said Charles. A contingent of city officials left a Feb. 14 meeting with the understanding that only minor details remained unresolved on the local project, but that it was essentially r e a ^ for bid. “Then, 10 days before plans were to be submitted to MDOT,” Charles said, “we were told we needed an environmental assessment for the loop road project (also known as the National Street extension).” Charles attributed the new demand to a change in staff. According to Kirk Steudle, MDOT director, an assessment is needed to determine “the potential social, economic, and environmental issues” that could result fix)m new road construction. Until the city successfully completes the environmental assessment, $1.2 million in federal highway funds will be withheld. Facing a Sept. 30 deadline to commit federal grant dollars, council members agreed to move forward with work along D-19 from the interstate bridge north to Pulford Street. Though improvements will ultimately extend north to Mason, MDOT officials approved work to begin on the smaller D-19 site. The whole stretch of D-19 is scheduled for completion in 2008. The four-legged roundabout also will run into 2008, while the loop road construction is set to begin in 2008, with a 2009 completion date. “That is, if there are no more complications,” Charles added. If the environmental assessment presents unexpected problems, MDOT officials may require an Environmental Impact Study, costing the city an additional $200,000 and several years.

While the city has yet to add financial backing to the project, officials are expected to make a commitment once a formal request has been made. City Manager Shea Charles is hesitant to put a monetary worth on the project now, but said “a successful commuter service would be a tremendous opportunity for Howell. “If you look around the country, areas that have rail, or mass transit, are just thriving,” he said. The Washtenaw and Livingston Line train, nicknamed WALLY by members of the US-23 Coalition that secured funds for the feasibility study, is expected to run an express and five-stop service, along 28 miles of track belonging to Great Lakes Central Railroad. Mike Cicchella, Northfield Township supervisor and chairman of the IfFmember coalition, says “WALLY is a viable alternative” for commuters traveling US-23 between Livingston and Washtenaw counties. The tracks are already in place, the stainless-steel double-decker passenger cars are being fitted W handicapped accessibility and bikes storage, and most of the proposed stops already have a station, or at least the land to build a station. In addition, the plan enjoys wide support from local government leaders and state legislators. “We have support from both sides- of the aisle (Republicans and Democrats,)” said Cicchella. As a result, he expects good news on a $1 million Federal Highway Administration grant request. Cicchella will know by August if it has been approved. “There is still a lot of work to do” in regard to land acquisition and track improvements, he said. The coalition has raised almost $800,000 toward the project’s $2.9 million capital improvements plan. They hope to raise $4.8 million for operations as well, but will address that issue later. Meanwhile, at least two Ann Arbor-based employers have promised to cover a portion of the rider costs for their Livingston County employees. “The Environmental Protection Agency and University of Michigan have made three-year commitments,” said Cicchella. “That’s significant,” said Charles, “and it improves the (train’s) chance of success.” User fees also will help cover operational expenses. Meanwhile, members of the Brighton City Council voted last week to support the WALLY train plan, provided that a stop at Brighton and Chilson roads in Genoa Township, just west of town, continues to be part of the proposal. They also are looking at tying into the rail line that runs through the center of downtown Brighton. Although the second line is owned by CSX Railroad, the two lines intersect in western Genoa Township, making such a scenario possible. “We’d love to have the train stop in Brighton,” Cicchella said. “That spot (on West Main Street at the tracks) is ideal; there are a lot of restaurants in downtown Brighton.” However, Brighton planning consultant Rich Morrison said logistical problems would likely prevent a merger of the two lines. “(I think) it’s problematic,” he said. Morrison believes the “Brighton Chilson stop,” is the likely location, allowing passengers to use a nearby church lot for parking. He added that because Livingston Essential Transportation is involved in the commuter train proposal, a LETS bus or van could take passengers to and from downtown Brighton. Principal appointed for Pathfinder Eric Ray, who’s been serving as an assistant principal intern at Pinckney’s Pathfinder School, will keep that job through June 2009. Ray’s hiring was approved Jun e l by the district’s Board of Education. Dianna Behl, the only other employee serving in Pinckney’s Administrative Intern Program this year, has decided to go back to teaching. Behl was an assistant principal intern at Pinckney Community High School this year. Pinckney developed the intern program several years ago for its teachers who aspired to become administrators. It also helps the district overcome the shortage of qualified school administrators, said Superintendent Dan Danosky. Teachers accepted into the program serve as an administrative intern for one year. After that, they can be put into their positions full time or they can go back to the classroom. 2007 CRUISE 200 DLX Furniture • Sundeck 4 Speaker Stereo/CD Oversized Pontoons 50HP Mercury Motor ^ 3 ,9 9 9 M i l l G r e e k S p o r t C e n t e r 8 1 8 0 M a i n S t . ■ D e x t e r ■ 7 3 4 . 4 2 6 . 3 4 4 5 C e le b r a t in g O u r JO th Y e a r Y \ n n iv e r s a r y V ’ v V « ■ * r , ,W e b a k e ^ h e a l t h ; y > . v a r i e t y o f d e l i c i o u s w f f o le » g r am s b r e a d s ' ^ 3 * u s e n a t u r a l in g r e d ie n t s . jj| 4 r ^ > W'^.|» M a i n S t .

Members used money they had collected for their senior trip to purchase $13,000 worth of metal chairs and tables and donate them to the city for the public to use. The four tables - each with four chairs - were installed last week by the Rotary Raiders, a hands-on community service arm of the Brighton Rotary Club. Troop members cheered them on and supplied them with cookies and beverages. As a result, people now can sit down and relax, or eat a sack lunch, under the pavilion roof on Mill Pond Lane next to the playground. “These chairs and tables are fabulous,” says Brighton City Council Member Kate Lawrence, praising the Girl Scouts and their leader, Sharon Long. “I was there Saturday and the seats were definitely utilized; people were just sitting, or eating lunch,” Lawrence says, adding, “We are fortunate to have such community-oriented people.” The girls were originally set to go to the British Virgin Islands but changed their minds. “It’s really to honor Mrs. Long,” says Katrin Bosch, 17, a Scout who graduated this spring from Brighton High School. “(Long) is just amazing,” Bosch says. “We’re following her example; she’s always generous, and she’d rather give the community a present.” Bosch says Piet Lindhout, who heads the Rotary Raiders, gave the troop several ideas when members approached him for a possible community project, one of which was the tables and chairs. “There’s always projects that the city can’t afford (and are put on the back burner), and we picked this,” Bosch says. “We were the generation when the Imagination Station (playground) was built, and we used to play in it.” 'Troop 1813 has been in existence for about six years, but may not be much longer: At one time with about 20 members, it shrunk last year after seven graduated from high school, followed by 10 more this year. Members raised the money for the project by doing a variety of things, including selling the famous Girl Scout cookies, returning bottles and cans for the deposits, holding ^ badge nights and camps for " younger Scouts and baby-sitting.

Grand Ave., Fowlerville. ■ D etails: 517-223-6015. BY LINDA TH EIL News Sp e c ia l W riter Fowlerville Community Schools is anticipating a $900,000 deficit for 2007-08 based on anticipation of state funding remaining at last year’s $7,085-per-pupil level and a decline of 60 students. At Tuesday’s school board meeting Superintendent Ed Alverson asked trustees to use a portion of the district’s approximately $1.4 million fund balance to eliminate half of the deficit. He presented a list of about $700,000 in possible cuts to make up the rest. The recommendations will be voted on at a June 19 meeting. Alverson and the board asked dozens of school employees at the meeting to give them guidance on budget cuts. As the board went through the list of potential cuts - most in nonteaching personnel - weary administrators and staff rose to defend and extol the work of those on the list. At the end, board president Mike Brown asked those present to speak to lawmakers about addressing the inequity that allows Fowlerville students $7,085 while those in Montrose are allowed $7,519. A $300- per-pupil increase in the state foundation allowance would wipe out Fowlerville’s $900,000 deficit. “Please address your passion to the real source of these difficulties,” Brown said. “And that’s your legislators in Lansing.” Alverson spoke directly to the audience, telling them they, would speak to their legislators when they could no longer bear the injustice. “You’ll say to your representatives and your senator, ‘We can’t accept this for our children’,” Alverson said. “You’ll say to Senator (Valde) Garcia, Representative (Joe) Hune, ‘When are you going to address the subject of equity?’ for our children - we just can’t accept this.” Only one teacher, Mary Aldecoa, asked why education staff was being cut and athletic staff was not touched. Alverson said cutting athletics is self defeating because those to whom athletics is important will take their foundation grant to another school, further depleting the budget. He said the Williamston school district already is advertising that it charges no athletic registration fees, while Fowlerville is considering raising fees from $175 to $185 at the high school.

While most regional investment firms have been swallowed up by larger rivals, feisty Ferris Baker Watts Inc. has been able to hold its own. The firm’s strength base is in the mid-Atlantic region, and more recently it has moved into Michigan and Ohio. Ferris Baker Watts is no newcomer to the industry. The firm has been in existence for more than a century, and has just opened an office in the new Stonefire Bistro building at West Main and First streets, where it occupies most of the second floor. The branch office, which was spun off from the Plymouth office, has a staff of five, including three financial advisers and two office employees.

Cold Stone Creamery in the Green Oak Village Place mall is the newest place to get ice cream. Opened on June 4, the store features the premium ice cream and other frozen treats that have made Cold Stone a favorite. Monique Bergin, who, with her husband Mike and her father, Carl Vagnetti, own the store, said ice cream and waffles are made fresh daily ^ in the store. Among Cold Stone’s popular items is the “Cold Stone Creation,” a melange of ice cream - select from nearly two dozen flavors - and a choice of “mix-ins” including nuts, candies, fi'uits & and more. " “Customers can add as many flavors as they want,” Bergin said. Watch the staff mix it all up on a frozen granite slab, which keeps the ice cream from melting during mixing. The Cold Stone menu also includes a variety of “Healthy Indulgences,” such as reducedfat ice cream, nondairy sorbet, soy smoothies and even nonfat, no-sugar-added ice cream. Half of the proceeds from the June 8 grand opening were slated to go to the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, Bergin said, adding that she and her husband both have had family members stricken with cancer. g The new store is the second ~ Cold Stone Creamery in Livingston County - the first is on M-59 in Howell - and both are owned by the Bergins.

Farmer Jack to close down Hartland store G r o c e r y c h a i n w i l l c e a s e o p e r a t i o n s s t a t e w i d e b y J u l y 7 BY ST E PH EN IE KOEHN News S p e c ia l W rite r Hartland Township’s Farmer Jack, the only large grocery store in the Hartland area, will close no later than July 7, said officials at the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., Farmer Ja'ck’s parent company. P ^ of a plan annoimced in April to close all of Michigan’s 66 Fhrmer Jack stores, the closure would leave the area without a conveniently located large grocery, but speculation is that another grocer is interested in acquiring the site. Store officials were tightlipped regarding details of the closure, including its exact date and what will become of the building after it is vacated. “As of this moment, we have no definitive sale agreements for any stores,” Richard De- Santa, A&P’s director of communication, said in an e-mail response to questions. “We are in very advanced stages of negotiations for the sale of the majority of the Farmer Jack stores,” De Santa wrote. “This is why we believe July 7 to be a reasonable target date by which all stores will either be sold or closed.” Local store officials said they had been instructed not to comment to the media, but a letter from an A&P vice president to Hartland Township Supervisor Dan Rhodes indicated the process of “permanently ceasing all Farmer Jack operations” would begin June 28. The complete process, wrote Allan Richards, A&P senior vice president for human resources, will result in the elimination of all employment positions. State officials said the store had more than 200 employees. Farmer Jack opened in the old Food Town premises near M-59 and US-23 some eightnine years ago, said Hartland Township Manager James Wickman III. It moved to its current location in the Shops at Waldenwoods development at Old US-23 and M-59 a couple of years later, Wickman said. “The most important thing for Hartland Township is obviously the jobs,” Wickman said. “We hope to see a seamless transition if there is to be a new owner, one that continues the jobs for these employees.” SALES, SERVICE, RENTALS & REPAIRS ♦ • Lift Chairs • Scooters * • Walkers • Aids for Daily 4 Living • And Much More! j L i f t Chairs sta r t ing at $549 Treat Your Dad To A Great Steak!!!

Among individual investors, Mykols says his company’s clientele is made up increasingly of “Generation Xers and baby boomers.” Mykols says there was a very practical reason for establishing an office in the area. “Most of our growth in clients (in Michigan) is in Livingston County,” he says. “It is more of an affluent, younger market, with a high amount of disposable income.” I ^ y did the firm locate an office in downtown Brighton? Mykols says that part of the reason is Brighton’s proximity to both US-23 and 1-96, adding the company deliberately looks for downtown locations. “Ferris always has been in downtown walking communities, the visibility expands that way, and we’re in a highvisibility location,” he says. “I’m glad they have an interest in downtown Brighton,” says local builder-developer Stan Schafer, who constructed the building. “I think it’s the trend of businesses. They want to be part of downtown, with places to walk around.” The company now has offices in five Michigan cities: Auburn Hills, Grosse Pointe, Okemos, Plymouth and Brighton, out of 43 branch offices nationwide. Based in Washington, D.C., the company is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities Investor Protection Corp., and is wholly owned by its employees. Ferris Baker Watts offers stock trading services, CDs, IRAs, tax-free bonds and other investment vehicles to both individuals and companies. The firm also provides access to capital markets for regional companies in a variety of industries, as well as for state and local governments.

Not here in Livingston Everyone loves summer vacation. Even for someone like me, whose school days ended decades ago, there’s something special about “summer vacation” - and I’m not talking about that week at the lake. Summer in Livingston County is so filled with weekend festivals of all types that it’s not unusual for some folks to stay home in the summer and travel outside the area in winter. Come to think of it, maybe the snowbird retirees have the right idea, even putting aside the weather. OK, never mind that last statement. With the kids just wrapping up their first week of summer vacation, there shouldn’t be too many refrains of “I’m bored!” just yet. So, here’s a look at some of the highlights for family fun this summer: ■ This weekend: The Hamburg Family Flm Fest. Still the new kid among local festivals, this is year No. 2 for the F\m Fest. What a way to start summer. There’s a carnival, a circus, concerts and fireworks. It all happens at the Manly W Bennett Memorial Park on Merrill Road in Hamburg Township. Activities began Thursday and ends Sunday. ■ Next weekend: Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell. Most of us tend to look in awe at the hot air balloons. Watching the crews scramble around as the balloons are inflated and then seeing them float into the slg^ is a thiiU many never grow tired of. There also is a carnival, an art show, medieval village and other entertainment at the Howell High School Freshman Campus, Friday-Sunday. ■ Ju ly 4: We love a parade. Parades for the Fourth of July are planned in downtown Brighton, Fowlerville and Gregory, with other special events in Howell and Whitmore Lake. ■ Ju ly 13: Hell is the perfect place to visit on Friday the 13th. There’s always a special celebration at Screams Ice Cream when the 13th falls on Friday. ■ Ju ly 14-15: LACASA Garden Tour. Help raise funds for this important nonprofit agency and get to see the handiwork of several really talented local gardeners. ■ Ju ly 14-21: Fowlerville Family Fair. No need to wait for fall for Livingston County’s Fowlerville Family Fair. 'The annual showcase for agriculture and more has been revamped this year to focus more on lower-cost family fun. But all your favorites are back with grandstand concerts, a demolition derby, the 4-H auctions and, of course, the always-popular midway. ■ Ju ly 27-29: Brighton Summerfest. This downtown Brighton event has morphed from just a sidewalk sale to so much more. But who doesn’t like a bargain? ■ Aug. 11-12: Brighton Art Festival. Hundreds of artists all over downtown Brighton. Like the Ann Arbor Art Fairs, but more manageable and with easier parking. ■ Aug. 17-19: Melon Fest in Howell. A wide range of activities to celebrate the Howell melon. Why not? The melons are the among the sweetest. ■ Various dates: Movies on Friday nights in downtown Pinclmey; Thursday night concerts in Pinckney, Friday night concerts in Howell, and Sunday night concerts in Brighton; zip line days at the Howell Conference and Nature Center; assorted activities at Kensington Metropark... There’s just no end to the summer fun just minutes from your front door. Managing Editor Rick Fitzgerald can be reached atrfitzgerald@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2004. Welcome Basko Firefighter finds comfort, renewed conviction in 4-legged partner BY LEAN NE SMITH News S ta f f Reporter He’s young, bright-eyed, ambitious and eager to get to work and that’s just fine with Howell Area Fire Department Capt. Mike Randall. He’s got a partner again. It’s Basko, a 13-month-old German shepherd who’s now settling in at Randall’s Deerfield Township home and quickly becoming a team player in the department’s Arson Investigation and Accelerant Detection Program. “We’ve already become best friends,” said Randall, who’s feeling like his job is finally getting back to normal. “He knows the routine already. He gets up every day ready to jump in the truck and go.” It’s tough to say Basko replaces 8-year-old Ashley, the German shepherd who was Randall’s first canine partner. She joined him in 2003 and lived and worked with him before being put down in February after suffering an irreparable spinal injury. “I cried for a week,” Randall said. “It was like losing a member of my family. Ashley helped me in my job, but I never expected I’d get so attached. I was devastated.” Ashley’s ashes are in an urn atop the fireplace mantel in Randall’s home. Despite his grief, he knew it was important for the fire department to get another dog. Randall received at least 50 'We wanted the department to have this dog. If it encourages one child to not play with matches, it's done a good thing. If it saves one child from being hurt in a fire, then it's priceless.' Dave Huff, a Brighton Mason calls a year locally and throughout the state to take Ashley to search for the use of accelerants in possible arson fires, missing people and objects that may have been used in the commission of a crime. They also spent hours educating local kids and adults about arson and fire safety. “This is a good program; a worthwhile program,” Randall said. “It needs to continue. If it stopped now, it may never get started up again.” Brighton Masonic Lodge No. 247 gave $8,800 from its treasury to pay the majority of the $10,000 needed to get Basko and pay for his training and Randall’s recertification as a K-9 handler. Howell Cub Scout Pack 366 raised about $200 at its Pinewood Derby and the Howell Area Fire Authority kicked in $1,000. Howell Area Fire Authority Capt.

Mike Randall says he feels right at home with Basko.The 13-month-old German shepherd came to Livingston County from Germany through Northern Michigan K-9 Inc. in Harrison, Mich. “We wanted the department to have this dog,” said Dave Huff, a Brighton Mason. “If it encourages one child to not play with matches, it’s done a good thing. If it saves one child from being hurt in a fire, then it’s priceless.” Basko came from Germany through Northern Michigan K-9 Inc. in Harrison, the same facility that located Ashley. The dogs, primarily German shepherds or Belgian malinois, come from Europe because training dogs is a passion there, said Brian Gregory, Northern Michigan K-9 co-owner, trainer and instructor. “Where we have soccer for our kids, they have dog training,” Gregory said. “They are serious about training their dogs, and th ere’s no room for an average dog in our program.” Northern Michigan K-9 trains SEE BASKO, B2 Basko is expected to respond to at least 50 calls this year.

'From Sea to Shining Sea' coming to Hamburg museum H is to r ic a l e x h i b i t f e a t u r e s 'T h e S u r v e y o f t h e C o a s t ' BY LEAN NE SMITH News S ta f f Reporter President Thomas Jefferson looked at the United States of America in 1807 and decided that with very few navigable roads and no railroads, the fledgling country had to rely on its waters to grow and prosper. 'Two hundred years later, “the Survey of the Coast” that Jefferson charged Congress to enact is being honored by a historical exhibit that’s coming to Hamburg Township. A dessert reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, June 21, will open “From Sea to Shining Sea,” a self-guided Smithsonian Institute poster exhibit "Straw berry Harbor, Straits of Rosario" with detail by James Madison Alden, will be one of the images displayed at the Hamburg Historical Museum. COURTESY, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION at the Hamburg Historical Museum, 7225 Stone St., in the old village. “We are really pleased to be getting this exhibit and thrilled we weren’t thought of as too small to display it,” said Suzanne Hines, museum director. “This fits in well with our continuing effort to keep our exhibits fresh and interesting and educational.” The 20-poster exhibit was created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Smithsonian’s TYaveling Exhibition Service. It is to appear at about 200 locations throughout the country, including the Chelsea Center for the Arts and the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor. Michigan’s 3,126 miles of Great Lakes shoreline - more freshwater coastline than any other state - and Hamburg’s many lakes that provided summer respite for city dwellers at the start of the 20th century made the exhibit a natural for the township, Hines said. “Many people moved here because of the lakes,” she said. “They’re tied to our economy and growth. Tourism and fishing and shipping are also very important to Michigan. This is really the first time that we’ve been able to do a scientific exhibit that’s relevant to our state and our area.” Jefferson’s “Survey of the Coast” charted the nation’s ports and waterways, researched physical characteristics of the ocean bottom and explored the oceans.

COURTESY, PENNY VENTRONE Screen inflates to make outdoors a theater BY L ISA CAROLIN News S ta f f Reporter The Southeastern Livingston County Recreation Authority is offering families the opportunity to spend time outdoors walking and watching movies this summer. It’s the first time that SELCRA has presented Screen on the Green, and there will ^ be five more movies through- * out the summer all at different locations in and around Brighton. “The idea is to get families in the community together and give them something healthy to do,” says Sara Ed- I wards, SELCRA recreation supervisor. “We polled the community and are showing the movies they want to see.” Eveiy setting is different and will include the Island Lake Recreation Area where the giant inflatable screen will be set up on the beach, and the Brighton Recreation Area, where Edwards says she hopes people will want to stay and camp for the night. The walks begin each evening at 8 p.m. and the movies begin at 9 p.m. The Brighton Varsity Hockey Team will run the concession stands selling pizza, popcorn, candy, pop, water and Gatorade. Ameriprise Financial, which is sponsoring Screen on the Green, will be offering free glow necklaces and featuring a magician before some of the movies. The movies are free, and people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Lisa Carolin can be reached at icarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010.

Students get to cut loose during Breakaway Day E v e n t p r o v id e s th e n n P f u n a c t iv it ie s o n la s t d a y o f s c h o o l BY GO RD IE TAYLOR News S t a f f R ep orter Howell students got their first taste of summer last Friday at the annual Last Day Breakaway. Middle school students were invited to spend their first few hours of summer vacation at the Howell Area Teen Center for an afternoon of food, fun and friends. An event in its sixth year, the Last Day Breakaway was designed to give kids something to do on the last day of the school year. “When it was the middle school’s last day, all the kids would head uptown and have nothing to do. We started the event to give those kids something fun to do after their last day,” said event organizer Beth Schrader of the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Department. With thunderstorms forecast, Schrader was glad to see the sun shining. “It turned out to be a great day. It’s great to have weather like this.” Schrader also was pleased to see the kids enjoying the many activities. “The kids have been to this before, so we tried to get some newer activities for them.” Some newer attractions included a giant, inflatable water slide that Highlander Way sixth-grader Hunter Sansbury was enjoying with his friends. “It’s pretty darn cool,” said Sansbury as he raced back to the top of the slide. Another popular activity was the chaotic shaving cream fight. Kids were armed with giant sponges and an endless supply of shaving cream at their disposal. Brenden Vanesley, a Highlander Way seventh-grader, was one of many kids covered head-to-toe in shaving cream. “It’s like a big party,” said Vanesley, who attended the event last year as well. With more than 200 students attending, the event would not have been possible without the help of some 50 volunteers, Schrader said. Volunteers came from Howell Area Parks and Recreation, the Howell Area Fire Department, Howell Police Department and Gap Inc.B rett Richards was one of the many volunteers from Howell Area Parks and Recreation helping out with the event. “It’s a good day, and there’s a lot of new stuff for them to do,” said Richards. “It’s great to see the kids having fun.” Gordie Taylor can be reached at 810-844-2008. Auction teaches value of a 'dollar" F o w le r v ille 4 t h - g r a d e r s u s e th e ir h a r d - e a r n e d c u r r e n c y BY LINDA THEIL News Special Writer Paddles flashed as the bidding quickly rose from $10 to $250 and stuttered a bit while the auctioneer’s spiel ran on. A new bidder entered the fray and ran the price up to $490 when he dropped out and bidder No. 1, Brendan Bowers, 10, won the miniature aquarium with tiny clown fish. “The aquarium was really one of the only things I wanted,” Brendan said. “It’s a fun time and we learn how to do an auction basically - how fast it goes and how it works.” The first auction in Michelle Guichard-Wojcik’s class at Fowlerville’s Kreeger Elementary School was a major success. TWenly-two fourth-graders sat intently, shoving homemade auction paddles high in the air and figuring quicWy in their heads to see whether they had enough “classroom dollars” to keep bidding on their favorite items. All year long Guichard- Wojcik’s students accumulated classroom cash for good classroom behavior and for turning in their parent-signed, daily lesson planners. They had to make enough to pay a $10 monthly rent on their desks, buy treats from the classroom store, and still save enough to take part in the auction at the end of the year. “I’m an anthropologist as well as a teacher and I like the idea of the auction culture to show the students there are different ways to purchase things,” Guichard-Wojcik said. “I wanted something that was unique that could become a classroom tradition. I did it for the cultural aspect. It’s important for them to understand bartering and systems that are different than our economic system.” A used handheld Nintendo game went for $1,100 in classroom dollars to Garreht Wrenn, 10. “I figured I couldn’t get it that cheap at a store and I bought it,” Garreht said. Garreht was one of the fortunate students who had saved lots of classroom dollars to spend on the dozens of toys, to- Caleb Shear raises his bid card for a chance at one of two X-box360 games.

Toys were donated by parents and purchased by Guichard- Wojcik for the end-of-theschool- year extravaganza. Students bid on a Bratz doll stationery set, a West Coast Choppers Jessie James Gold Digger toy motorcycle, a Wave Rider Splash Factor Slip ’n’ Slide water slide, Littlest Pet Shop magnetic animals and other preteen gotta-have items. Not everything sold high- a mini-gumball machine went for $55 and a bug dome for $180. Auctioneer Gary Gray of Old Gray Nash auctions at AuctionZip. com and a Fowlervillearea resident, volunteered to nm the classroom auction. He prepped the students with information about auction etiquette and lore. “What really surprised me was they watched how much money they had,” Gray said. “That was really gocid and showed how they’re using their skills they’ve learned in school. That’s a credit to the teacher and the school system.” This is Guichard-Wojcik’s first year with Fowlerville Community Schools. She formerly taught in the gifted and talented program for Howell Public Schools for five years. She said her fourth-grade students are a remarkable group with whom she loved spending all year.

When Whitmore Lake senior Rachel Sawyer would get in trouble, her parents took away the one thing that hurt. Not the car. Not the phone. Not her friends. Linda Sawyer took away her daughter’s bwks. Rachel Sawyer reads for at least an hour every night. She reads two or three books in a week, depending on their length and how interesting they are. “Her teachers were so shocked when they heard that, a parent taking away a book,” says Linda Sawyer with a laugh. Other punishments were more extreme: If either Rachel or her twin sister, Laura, got anything lower than an A in class, they would sit out from sports. “I’m the only parent in Whitmore Lake to bench their kids for a B,” Linda Sawyer says. Rachel Sawyer never had to worry. The Whitmore Lake senior is The Livingston Community News Scholar-Athlete of the Year, after graduating as class valedictorian with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average and earning nine varsity letters.

Honoring top scholars and athetes who excel Editor's note: For the third year. The Livingston Community News is honoring the area’s top scholar-athletes by selecting a Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Nine seniors from sbc area schools - Brighton, Howell, Hartland, Pinckney, South Lyon and Whitmore Lake - were able to maintain perfect 4.0 grade-point averages while also earning at least one varsity letter in a sport. This year’s winner is Rachel Sawyer of Whitmore Lake. The pool of candidates also included South Lyon’s Amy Lecureux and Jamie Reichlmayr; Hartland’s Brittany Quinn and Amber Ellett; Howell’s Kirsten Vance; Brighton’s Jason Schneemann and Lisa Deptula; and Pinckney’s Danielle Stahlbaum.

C2 J A S O N D E E G A N The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity N ews Scholars first, then athletes Putting together our Scholar- Athlete of the Year package is always interesting. It’s always a different experience interviewing high school sports stars who are students first, athletes second. They have a whole different outlook on the world.^. They’re not “sports-centric” like so many young athletes are today. They won’t live and die by how. they did, or their team’s success at yesterday’s game. They’re focused on something bigger: Their academic futures, their professional careers down the road. Why else would they punish themselves with the extra hours of studying that many teens blow 0^ Their unique outlook on sports and life is more evident than ever with this year’s crop of candidates. Four of them quit a sport at one time or another. \ ^ a t “dedicated” athlete would quit competing? Dare I call them quitters? I think not. It seems silly to so harshly criticize someone bright enough and athletic enough to survive high school with at least one varsity letter and a 4.0 grade-point average. They all had valid reasons ... whether it be more time to study or getting a job or enjoying free time to act like a teenager, even if just for one season. South Lyon senior Jaime Reichlmayr and Brighton senior Lisa Deptula both decided to forgo their senior seasons of soccer this spring. Neither were starters. Reichlmayr took a job at Walnut Creek Country Club in Lyon Township instead. “It was a time commitment (issue),” Reichlmayr says. “Being a senior, I just wanted to enjoy the time I had. I missed it, but I’m glad I did not play. I’m glad I had time to finish up the school year and prepare for graduation.” Deptula, whose main sport is tennis, took a job at a local restaurant with an eye toward the future, forgoing a chance at a soccer state title. “I’m going to college,” she says. “I needed to start making some money to pay for that. I wasn’t going to be able to do that and play soccer.” The story is the same for South Lyon’s Amy Lecureux. After three years of running varsity track, she took this spring off to work at Lone Star Steakhouse. Lecureux has mixed feelings about her decision. “I (would) go and watch the meets. I miss racing, but I like having more free time and having the time to work and making money,” she says. Whitmore Lake senior Laura Sawyer quit softball after her freshman year, despite SEE DEEGAN, C2 ^ Brighton baseball team heads to Division I state semifinals for second straight year F o w le r v ille e n d s s e a s o n w it h h e a r t b r e a k i n g lo s s . BY JASON DEEGAN 9 News S ta f f Reporter 'Two thrilling one-run, extra- inning showdowns. One survivor. The Brighton baseball team is headed to Battle Creek for Division I state semifinals for the second straight year, while the Fowlerville Gladiators saw their season end with a heartbreaking loss 'Tuesday in the state quarterfinals. The Bulldogs needed 13 innings to squeak by Saline, 1-0, at Chelsea as catcher Lucas Hartman lifted a sacrifice fly to center field with the bases loaded, driving in A.J. Dokey. The Gladiators weren’t as fortunate. They lost to St. Clair Shores Lake Shore, 3-2, in eight innings in a Division 2 quarterfinal at Flint Kearsley. Gladiator ace Josh Wedesl^ pitched another spectacular game, allowing just two hits and one earned run in eight iimings. The Bulldogs (27-8-1) are scheduled to play Lake Orion (29-5) at Morrison Field at 3 p.m. today, with Grandville (30-7) and Farmin^on (27-8) in the other semifinal. The final will be 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The Bulldogs have flown under the radar all season, but no more. “We never gave up,” new Brighton coach George Reck said of his team’s gritty performance. Sophomore John Nelson pitched the final three innings, earning the win in relief of senior "lyier Loehr, who allowed eight hits and struck out seven in nine iimings, all on two days’ rest after throwing a complete game in the regional final June 9. “Nelson has been our No. 2 guy all year,” Reck said. “We got a great inning from T.J. (VanDoren), and both bullpens did a tremendous job. I can’t say enough about them.” It took Brighton coaching legend Mark Carrow 25 years to first reach the state semis in 1998. Reck has done it in his first year. The Bulldogs have never played in the state finals. A championship would be the thrill of a lifetime for Brighton’s six seniors, many of whom only played limited roles last season.

Laura Sawyer, who earned a 3.92 GPA, will attend the University of Michigan. 'The girls did everything together, taking the same classes and playing the same sports. 'They tried it all - cheerleading, softball, powerlifting, voUeybaU, basketball and cross country - making a significant impact for their Class C school. As sophomore cheerleaders, the Sawyers led the TYojans to their best finish, fifth, at the competitive cheer state finals. Last fall, Rachel and Laura Sawyer were third and fourth runners, respectively, for the first lYojan girls cross country team to qualify for the state meet in a decade. The twins led the 'lYojan volleyball team last winter to the firet district championship in school history. Rachel was fourth and Laura seventh at the Michigan High School Power Lifting Association championships this spring, helping the 'lYojans win the open-class state title in just their second se^on with a program. Whitmore Lake athletic director Bob Henry says Rachel Sawyer stands out as one of the school’s top female athletes in recent memory. “Her accomplishments in a variety of sports is what sets her a p ^ , ” he says. Sawyer just foimd out last week that her volleyball career might not be over. After seeing a highlight tape, NYU coach Ed Caesar called to find out her jersey size, set up an early dorm check-in to prepare for practice and to pass out a summer workout p l^ . 'The Division III program went 33-7 last season. “I was just hoping for a tryout,” says Rachel Sawyer, an outside hitter. Whitmore Lake volleyball coach Kathy Coleman calls Rachel Sawybr a “perfectionist.” “It was almost pointless for me to yell at her,” says Coleman, who taught Sawyer in Spanish class. “Academically and athletically, she challenges herself more than I ever could.” Sawyer says she plans on keeping her 4.0 through college. “She’s just so focused,” her mother says. “She gives 100 percent in all she does.” For the first time in their lives, the twins will separate. No niore volleyball in the bacl^^ard for hours on end or critiquing each other on game film. Both say they’re r e a ^ for the next chapter of their already amazing journey. “We will miss each other, even though we say we won’t,” Rachel Sawyer says. Junior hopefuls carry 4.0GPAS A handful of juniors at local high schools still have a perfect grade point average and have earned at least one varsity letter. Among these candidates might be next year's Scholar-Athlete winner, if those advanced placement classes don't beat them up. ■ Kayla Lipon, Brighton, lacrosse. ■ Sara Walker, Brighton, golf. ■ Lynzey Miller, Fowlerville, basketball and softball. ■ Callie Baker, Pinckney, skiing. ■ Maureen Berryman, Pinckney, skiing. ■ Jonathan Love, Pinckney, skiing and tennis. ■ Rachel Worthingston, Pinckney, soccer. ■ Megan Dreffs, Whitmore Lake, basketball. Note: Hartland and South Lyon did not submit junior candidates. DEEGAN FROM Cl Finalists sometimes opt out of sports being a starter at shortstop and second base. She never did another spring sport, even though her running would have helped the 'Trojan track team. You can’t criticize her, either, considering she did two sports in the same winter season twice (cheer and volleyball as a sophomore and weight lifting and volleyball as a senior). Like a gym rat who won’t quit shooting baskets after practice. Sawyer can’t keep her head out of a book. “My parents have to yell at me to stop reading,” she admits. Yep. Students first. Athletes second. But pretty darn good at both. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012, Presents e r A T H L E T E O F T H E W E E K Kelly Behen ■ School: Hartland High School. ■ Sp o rt: Golf. She played softball and did gymnastics as a youth. ■ Top sports moment: Helping the Eagles set a team school-record stroke total of 158 against Pinckney at Hartland Glen this spring. ■ This season: The senior averaged 42.9 strokes per round and qualified for states with an 81 to tie for third at regionals. She shot 90-88-178 in her first appearance at the state finals. No. 2-ranked golfer Annika Sorenstam. ■ Hobbies: Swimming, shopping. ■ Favo rite subjects: History and English. ■ A th le te I adm ire: World ■ Community in vo lvem en t: Big Brothers-Big Sisters. ■ Academics: 2.6 GPA. ■ Fu ture: She will play golf at Adrian College and study exercise science to become an athletic trainer. f THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY,JUNE 15,2007 www.mlive.com/classlfieds CLASSIFIEDS I C3 WEEKLY C L A S S IF IE D 1 1 I I I V G Place your classified ads . c o m online!

F R ID A Y , J U N E 2 2 , 2 0 0 7 w ww.m live.com N o c o r e c u t s i n c o m i n g y e a r But Brighton schools must use most of its reserves to balance annual budget BY L ISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter The good news for families in the Brighton school district is that no core academic programs or services will be cut in the 2007-08 school year. The Brighton school board Monday night approved a $55 million budget for next year that preserves programs because of an anticipated state cut in funding that did not happen and dipping deeper into the district’s reserve funds. According to Superintendent Jim Craig, sustaining a quality education program in the Brighton Area Schools is more important than ever because it is essential not only to retain students but to attract schools-of-choice students from other areas. Projected enrollment for this fall reflects a decline of 56 students and the number of schools-of-choice students is not yet known. Also unknown is the base foundation grant, though it is projected to be $7,241 per pupil, the same as it is for the current year. For 2007-08, expenditures are expected to exceed revenue by $980,000 with the starting fund balance of $1.2 million dwindling to $214,000 by year’s end. That would be a fund balance of 0.39 percent of expenditures. Craig likes to see a fund balance of at least 5 percent of the total budget, which would be $2.75 million. Craig says that if the trend continues, the district will soon exhaust its fund balance and be in a deficit situation. Contract talks with the Brighton Education Association are ongoing, with the current contract expiring Aug. 30. Projected expenditures for 2007-08 are based on a teacher health insurance increase of 3.4 percent and a reduction in the retirement rate from 18.56 percent of a person’s salary to 16.72 percent. Brighton Education Association Vice President Arnella Park, a Brighton High teacher, told Craig during the call to the public Monday that she wanted to see more collaborative negotiations between the administration and the union. ' “You’re still the finance guy,” Park said to Craig referring to the fact that no one has replaced him as assistant superintendent of finance.

W e have lift o ff P ilo t Denny McGuire of Oceola Township prepares his bailoon , Kaleidoscope, for launch during th e Ju n e 13 preview of the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest. Preparing for flight involves checking and rechecking the balloon's envelop e, ropes and basket. At le ast fo u r people are needed to get a hot air balloon untangled, inflated, leveled off and into the air. PHOTOS: RICK FITZGERALD,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS 23rd annual Balloonfest takes flight with added attractions BY LAURIE HUM PHRE Y News Staff Reporter Denny McGuire’s 55-year love affair with aviation began as a childhood fascination with model airplanes. Over the years, his attraction ballooned, prompting the purchase of a Piper Cub single-engine plane at age 18. “I bought the plane and then found someone who could teach me how to fly it,” says the Oceola Township man, reflecting on his first aircraft. Now a retired firefighter and paramedic for the city of Southfield, McGuire has added a few pieces to his collection, including a multi-engine plane and another single-engine plane, all of which he is licensed to fly, to instruct and to maintain. His current Airframe and Powerplate designation as mechanic, inspector and instructor affords him hours of time in and around winged aircraft, including gliders. Yet, it is his most recent air-bound addition, the hotair balloon named Kaleidoscope, that will keep him busy this weekend. “I’ve been flying Kaleidoscope for three years,” says McGuire, one of 56 featured hot air balloon pilots in this year’s Michigan Challenge Balloonfest, which continues today through Sunday at the Howell High School campus, 1200 W Grand River Ave. Preparations for the 23rd annual event began weeks ago, as did regular flights for many of the local balloon pilots participating in the national competition. While McGuire doesn’t consider himself a die-hard Balloonfest ■ W hat: The Michigan Challenge Balloonfest is the state championship competition for hot-air ballooning, paired with a carnival, art fair, medieval village and all sorts of entertainment. ■ When: Today, Saturday and Sunday. Mass balloon launches and fly-ins are set for 6-8 p.m. today, 6-8 a.m. and 6-8 p.m. Saturday, and 6-8 a.m. and 6-8 p.m. Sunday. ■ Where: Activities ongoing at Howell High School Freshman Campus, 1200 W. Grand River Ave. and downtown Howell. ■ Details: 517-546-3920; www. michiganchallenge.com competitor, he will take any opportunity to fly. “It’s just fun,” he says. Unable to pinpoint the exact attraction, he reasons “everybody that flies enjoys it, or they wouldn’t be doing it.” While hot air ballooning is likely the most-watched activity of Balloonfest, is not the only draw for the event, according to Michelle Tokan, Michigan Challenge coordinator. Guests to the festival also can enjoy a carnival, a family fun tent, arts festival, medieval village, community garage sale, antique and custom car show, and other outdoor entertainment. “Balloonfest just gets better every year, creating an entertainment experience where memories are made and the fun continues night and day,” says Tokan. Activities also will be ongoing in downtown Howell, about three miles east of the launch site featuring dog shows and kids activities to sidewalk sales and outdoor musical events. “The downtown committee has planned some new activities that allow families to interact in front of the beautiful Livingston County Courthouse, a city landmark,” Tokan adds. New to the program this year is the outdoor viewing of the movie “Happy Feet” tonight at the amphitheater and well as a Sunday appearance by legendary Detroit sportscaster Ernie Harwell. From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Harwell will meet festival spectators at the Blue Cross-Blue Shield booth. According to Tokan, last year’s event drew about 120,000 people to Howell. She expects a higher number this year, with the addition of the downtown festivities and appearance of Harwell.

J ail in m a t e s c le a n in g P in c k n e y s c h o o ls a t n o c h a r g e Program aims to use low-risk offenders for sentence reductions BY LEANNE SM ITH News Staff Reporter Pinckney Community Schools and the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department think they may have hit on a creative and cooperative way to survive with less state funding. In a partnership that started this week, the schools’ buildings and grounds will be cleaned at no cost this summer by low-risk county jail inmates. The sheriff’s department will potentially relieve jail overcrowding by reducing these inmates’ sentences through community service. “It’s a win-win situation,” said Sheriff Bob Bezotte. “We’re both constantly trying to find ways to cut our costs but still get our jobs done.” 'We're absolutely doing this out of necessity/ Jim Darga, Pinckney High Principal While court-ordered community service workers have helped clean and maintain Pinckney schools the past two years, this is the first time jail inmates have been used. Those selected are nonviolent offenders who are not on the state’s sex offender list, said Brian Higgins, the district’s assistant superintendent for personnel. They will clean buildings and parking lots, move and clean furniture, make repairs, paint, and pull weeds. Four inmates, dressed in orange jumpsuits and supervised at all times by a sheriff’s deputy, will work in buildings and on grounds away from school staff. Most of the work will be done at Pinckney Community High School, where no student activities are scheduled during the summer, Higgins said. “It’s been great so far,” said Keith Chambers, Pinckney High’s head custodian. “We all know it’s in the best interest of the kids to have a clean school, but the funds SEE INMATES, A4 • IN D E X Achievers B3 Calendar B4 Classified ads C3 Livingston Life B1 Retail Report A6 Rick Fitzgerald's column B1 Scrapbook B5 Volunteers B3 To report news or for free home delivery call (810)844-2000. IN BRIEF Tower contract to bring Howell Public Schools $35,000 annually Howell Public Schools will see estimated revenue of up to $35,000 per year by contracting with a private firm to put a wireless communications tower at the Parker High School site. Associate Superintendent of Finance RTick Terres said last week that, the district had budgeted some $60,000 from bond money to install a tower on the site in Marion Township. But, after the district contracted with SBA Towers, a Florida-based company, the district will not only save that money, but will get paid 25 percent of revenues generated from the tower once it is fully operational. “That’s $100,000 in favor of the school system,” Terres said. Under the agreement approved June 11, the lease of the land is for five years and will automatically renew for up to 10 terms of five years.

B1 A 2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 2007 D e v e l o p e r s a y s s u p p o r t i s t h e r e f o r n e w a t h l e t i c c l u b Mixed-use change OK'd by Brighton planning panel BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter Developer Mark Murphy has had an epiphany of sorts on the question of developing a new athletic club for the Brighton area. Initially he questioned whether Brighton was big enough to support a fullfledged athletic club. Now he’s a believer in the viability of such a project. After the Brighton Athletic Club, the only facility of its type in Livingston County, closed in April, Murphy started getting calls. People wanted a new athletic club, and felt his Brighton Ibwne Square-Brighton Ibwne Place development at West Grand River and Challis Road was the perfect location. As a result, Murphy researched the viability for a health club and he said he has come away with unbridled optimism. “We have enough support, and it’s moving forward very fast,” Murphy said after the Brighton Planning Commission voted this week to approve his proposal. City planners approved the mixed-use change to an athletic club from a banquet center, which was previously listed on the site plan, and in the same motion approved the final site plan. It now goes to the City Council for final action, likely at the July 16 meeting. The 110,000-square-foot facility, on Nemco Way off Challis Road, would be located between Independence Village of Brighton Valley and Brighton Cinema 20 theaters. To make the facility more attractive to a larger segment of the community, Murphy plans to combine a wellness center and state-of-the-art athletic club and fitness center in country club-type setting. “We came up with a hybrid (of an athletic club-fitness center and social club), and we’ve melded the two worlds nicely,” he said. Murphy has created the hybrid facility in order to get more memberships, saying studies have shown only a third of people who buy memberships in fitness centers end up using them in the long term. “So even if they don’t end up using the fitness aspect, they can still use the facility,” Murphy says, adding, “We. came up with the concept with feedback from people.” Murphy says he contacted several big names among fitness chains, including Life Time Fitness - which has centers in Novi, Commerce Township and Canton - but they weren’t interested, saying the area population is too small. As a result, he’s doing it on his own. “It’s a risk we are taking in-house,” says Murphy, who would hire his own operator or management company. If approved, the two-story complex would have a 25-meter indoor heated swimming pool, outdoor pool with slide for summer use, a fitness room, six tennis courts; basketball, racquetball, squash and volleyball courts; indoor walking and running tracks; physical therapy pool; children’s pool; Jacuzzi; sauna and steam rooms; personal trainers and therapeutic massage services available; child care facility; group exercise classes and possibly an outdoor hockey-and-skating rink. The fitness and recreational amenities would be toward the rear of the facility and the club aspect in front, Murphy says. It would also have a cafe where customers could look down on the pool area and possibly a bar, which would require city and state approval. Murphy is on a fast track, and hopes to have it open by late summer of 2008. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen® Uvingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009. IN B R IE F Brighton Gleaners closer to attaining goal Even though they didn’t quite make their 2007 goal for the Fill the Gazebo event June 2 in downtown Brighton, the Gleaners Community Food Bank and co-sponsoring Livingston County Association of Realtors have gotten a lot closer. Gleaners Community Food Bank spokeswoman Michelle Ounanian said that the final figures have been tallied, showing 134,000 meals gathered, as opposed to a preliminary total of 85,000 meals. The new figures are a result of late donations of cash and nonperishable food and personal care items. The cash contributions this year totaled $6,800, an increase from last year’s $5,400, Ounanian said. The collected items have been distributed to about 25 agencies in the county. Donors may write a check to Gleaners or drop off nonperishable food and personal care or household items (such as laundry detergent) at the food pantry, 5840 Sterling Drive in Genoa Township, during regular hours. The phone number is 517- 548-3710. City removes some street trees The Brighton Department of Public Services removed some stree t trees last week along Main Street and Grand River Avenue in the downtown area. “The trees were removed because they were dead, diseased or obstructing the view of some of the storefronts in our downtown,” DPS Director Matt Schindewolf said in a prepared news release. Several trees removed were ashes that were either susceptible to or infected by the emerald ash borer. “The city is currently woj’king on a plan for repla< iement of these trees and-expects to install trees more appropriate for a downtown area, yet will still allow for shade and greenery in the downtown business district,” Schindewolf said. Anyone with questions should call the Brighton Department of Public Services at 810-225-8001. PoKce to offer cash rewards The Brighton City Police Department will start offering rewards for informationleading to the arrest and' conviction of persons responsible for criminal activijies in the city. The City Council has voted to approve amounts up to a maximum of $1,000, depending on the nature of the crime. The action was prompted by a series of vandalism incidents in the downtown area that included spray-painting graffiti on buildings and knocking down a sculpture in the Brighton Biennial. The amount of the reward will be determined by the council. Three persons have been arrested in connection with the graffiti incidents; there have been no arrests yet in the sculpture vandalism. Charter amending procedures studied The Brighton City Council has directed the city attorney to research and prepare information on correct procedures to follow in taking out and handing petitions asking for amendments to the city charter. Resident Patricia Cole has said the mayor should be elected directly by the voters and not appointed. Cole says Brighton has gotten too large for its mayor to be chosen by the council from its own membership, but instead should represent the wishes of the voters. Cole would also like to change phrases like “councilman” in the charter and replace them with gender-neutral phrases, such as “council member.” The city attorney was directed to provide the information to the council, and not directly to Cole, so as to avoid the issue of whether he would be dispensing free legal advice. Native wildflowers to be discussed The Livingston Land Conservancy invites the public to join it at its annual meeting 7 p.m. June 28 at the Brighton District Library, 100 Library Drive. It will present a program on native Michigan wildflowers growing on the Conservancy’s protected properties, along with a presentation of Board Member Kernie King’s photography.

LETTERS Pharmacy owners thank customers Without question the sale of the Pinckney Pharmacy has been the hardest decision of our lives. There were so many things to consider, and the emotional turmoil has been a strain to say the least. There were many discussions with a lot of people as well as many sleepless nights. As with any major decision there are multiple reasons involved such as mandatory mail-order programs and a less than robust economy. However, the main reason proved to be the fact that Rite Aid went out of its way, time and time again, to make this the right business decision. To say we have been blessed during these past 22 years tyes, it’s been that long) would be one of the biggest understatements of all time. We tried our hardest to be a special store in a special community. We grew as the community grew. We’ve raised our families here, we’ve laughed together and we’ve cried together. Our customers and our employees are our friends and are people we genuinely care about and love. There are not enough of us who can honestly say that they love their job and there has never been a day that we have felt otherwise. You supported us, you bestowed us with kindness and you showed us the importance of being a true “community” pharmacy. Our motto has always been, “treat others the way you want to be treated.” We hope that the Pinckney Pharmacy is remembered as an establishment that attempted to live up to this motto. Thank you, the friends of Pinckney Pharmacy, from the bottom of our hearts for all you’ve meant to our business but more importantly for the honor and privilege of your friendship and love. It has been a pleasure to be a part of something so special with such a wonderful group of people. Got bless you all.

The school board will vote I on the proposed $70 million budget Monday night, just one week before the district’s new fiscal year starts July 1. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. Superintendent Chuck Breiner said Tuesday with 90 I percent of the budget driven ^ by personnel costs, the district is facing cuts that now affect staff. “We see the priority of this district to be K-12 instruction. It’s the single most important mission of this district,” he said, adding that impacting staffing “has become imperative, not an option.” Staffing changes include reducing staff levels at the middle schools by shifting to a six-period day saving $600,000 and another $575,000 in savings when 25 teachers take an early retirement buyout. Still uncertain is just how k $400,000 will be cut from r custodial and maintenance services, a department that already has trimmed 10 jobs from a 61-person bargaining unit in the past two years along with cost-saving I changes in insurance. " One option being discussed is privatizing services, something that has members of the union, an MEA-affiliate, These are very difficult, stressful times. We'll look at this very carefully.' Rick Terres, associate superintendent for finance, discussing the possible privatization of custodial services in the Howell Public Schools worried. “Why would you put people out of work who live in your county? There’s got to be another way,” said Nancy Aittama, president of the custodial and maintenance workers unit. “We’re still willing to consider proposals.” School officials said they hope to meet with the union in the coming weeks to discuss the situation, but also have put out requests for proposals to companies who could provide the services. Associate Superintendent Rick Terres, who offered the budget proposal Tuesday, said the district would like to have a decision on custodial and maintenance services in place by Aug. 1. “These are very difficult, stressful times,” Terres said. “We’ll look at this very carefully.” “The best case scenario would be that chunk of $400,000 could be found someplace else so we wouldn’t have to do that (privatize),” noted Trustee Mary Jo Dymond. Other budget changes proposed include downsizing pool operations, reducing new student supplies, trimming discretionary accounts, changing the school election to November so that its cost would be absorbed with other municipal elections, moving special needs aides to the county’s intermediate school district and looking at cuts in technology and maintenance schedules and energy conservation measures. The proposed budget is based on modest increases of $50 in per-pupil funding and 25 new students and increases of 17 percent in retirement costs and 6.8 percent increases in health care. The district currently gets $7,085 per pupil - among the lowest state funding in Michigan. Terres supplemented his proposal with the most upto- date information about the state’s economic situation. “We are in a one-state recession,” he said. Continuing job losses across the state are affecting state sales and income taxes which, in turn, take a toll on school funding. And, he said, until legislators revamp school funding, districts like Howell will continue to have problems estimating revenues. “We’re trying to navigate through waters without a map,” he added.

Howell school board picks Dean Miller to replace Jeanne Clum BY CASEY HANS News Staff Reporter Howell resident Dean Miller will be the newest member of the Howell Board of Education. He was selected for the post Tuesday, replacing Jeanne Clum who resigned last week. He will be sworn in Monday, June 25, during the board’s regular meeting. A vocal opponent of the local conservative values group Livingston Organization for Values in Education, Miller was nominated through a paper ballot process that assigned points and eventually narrowed the original field of 10 candidates. Included were five candidates who had run for the board unsuccessfully in recent elections: Don Fondriest and William Harvey as well as recent Howell High School graduate Phil Nichols who all ran for the board in May; board watcher Valerie Webster, who ran in 2005; and Jim Pratt who ran in both 2005 and 2006. In addition to those and newcomer Miller, board watchers Kim Shumaker and Carolyn Arking and residents Mark Michaels and Michael Yenshaw also were considF o w l e r v i l l e s c h o o l s a p p r o v e s c u t s , a n n u a l b u d g e t v o t e i s J u n e 2 6 ^ Board will take ^ $500,000 from fund equity to balance finances next year BY LINDA THEIL News Special Writer The Fowlerville school board unanimously approved $400,000 in cuts and voted to take an additional $500,000 from its $1.4 million ffind balance to create a balanced budget. The board will meet again Tuesday, June 26, to approve the $25 million budget for 2007-08. Superintendent Ed Alverson reminded the board that administrators would have better budgeting figures in the fall when student enrollment numbers are set. “You can make decisions tonight that you can reverse in late September,” Alverson said. “Things will either be better or worse.” As if cutting the budget weren’t tough enough for trustees, Alverson also re ported that the school district had received notification from the Standard & Poors credit rating service that the agency had reduced the district’s bond rating from AA to AA-minus. Alverson said he was told the reason for the downgrading was because of the “creative methods” the legislature used to balance the state budget. School board trustees voted on a variety of cuts that included reducing the technology budget, textbook budget, building supply budget, conference budget, kindergarten aide hours and lunch supervisors. Among the other cuts and changes approved Tuesday night were these: ■ Eliminating the police liaison officer, a position filled for 10 years by Officer Jeff Soli of the Fowlerville Police Department, to save $47,000. ■ Eliminating a media specialist in grades 5-12 for a savings of $71,500. ■ Cutting Saturday transportation from the athletic budget except for Michigan High School Athletic Association events to save $25,000. ■ Reducing the number of school bus stops in grades 5-12 to save $30,000. ■ Raising the high school student parking fee from $40 to $60 to generate $5,600 in new revenue. ■ Increasing the athletic participation fees from $175 to $195 in the high school and from $100 to $115 in the junior high school with a family cap of $325. That will generate an additional $6,000 in revenue. Board Secretary Elaine Esch asked that arrangements be made to set up a scholarship fund for athletes who cannot afford to pay fees. Alverson also said he hopes to initiate a Michigan Green School program to reduce energy costs. The meeting to approve the budget is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Fowlerville High School media center, 700 N. Grand Ave. Details: 517-223-6001. P i n c k n e y s c h o o l s ' b u d g e t t o d r a w o n f u n d e q u i t y District trying to avoid listing possible cuts BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Rather than listing cuts that may or may not be necessary, Pinckney Community Schools’ latest plan to overcome a $1.5 million deficit and balance next yea r’s budget relies on drawing nearly $775,000 from its fund equity. The district’s Board of Education hosted a public hearing on its nearly $37 million 2007-08 budget Thursday. The budget, which goes into effect July 1, is to be adopted by the board at 7 p.m. next Thursday, June 28, in the Pathfinder School media center, 2100 E. M-36, Hamburg Township. “Everything is still too unknown,” said Superintendent Dan Danos^, referring to what funding school districts may or may not get from the state next year. “We don’t want to cause a lot of consternation now if the cuts don’t come to fruition. It’s just too unsettling to people.” The hope is that per-student funding will be better than the $100 increase that Linda Moskalik, Pinckney’s assistant superintendent for finance and operations, said she based next y e a r’s estimated state revenues on. Pinckney currently gets $7,085 per student from the state, the lowest possible level of funding. Pinckney also hopes that its estimate of a 125-student drop in enrollment is too high, and that a $23-per-student equity payment granted by the state this year is rolled into next yea r’s general per-student allowance, Danosky said. If Pinckney has been too conservative in its budgeting, it may not have to use that much of next yea r’s projected $2.2 million fund equity, he said. “I hope we don’t spend it, but we’re prepared to do it if we have to, or make cuts later on if we have to,” he said. Nearly 85 percent of Pinckney’s budget comes from state revenue. Moskalik estimates next yea r’s to be about $31 million, down about $400,000 from this year because of the estimated enrollment decline. The district is able to make up about $800,000 of next yea r’s projected budget deficit due to 19 teachers taking an early retirement buyout this year. Seven of those positions will not be filled. A mandated reduction in state retirement will save Pinckney about $200,000, and moving to full-day kindergarten four days a week and staffing the classes with part-time teachers could re sult in another $112,000 savings in benefits, Moskalik said. The Pinckney Community High School police liaison officer, contracted through the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department, is being cut to save $65,000, the money paid to club and after- school program advisers is being trimmed by $40,000, and pay-to-participate fees for high school athletes are increasing from $150 per sport to $175. Scheduled step increases will be paid to staff, but a general wage increase is on hold until Pinckney gets a clearer financial picture from the state, Danosky said.

Board members considered candidates’ written responses to questions, allowed brief statements Tuesday night and questioned candidates before taking their vote. Despite questions from trustees Phil Westmoreland and Wendy Day challenging what they perceive as a negative approach by Miller, he said he expects his transition to the board to be a smooth one. “They may have an issue with me. I don’t have a problem with them,” he said following the meeting. “But, as I said. I’m not willing to give an inch with the LOVE group.” Day told Miller she did not appreciate personal attacks on blog sites that have been directed at her under Miller’s “Puppet Watcher” tag. Westmoreland questioned correspondence he had received from Miller telling him to “stop thinking” and do what the teachers tell him to do regarding the recent controversy over use of “The Freedom Writers Diaiy” in the classroom. Miller said he would have no problem dealing with reasonable issues brought by any group but that “in one and a half years I have not seen any valid issues (from the LOVE group). We have some very serious issues in the district. They are not ROTC and Bible stu(fy...” He told the board he considered his personal opinions to be just that and that he would hold himself to a higher standard as a trustee with a public persona. An automotive design engineer, Miller has a daughter who will be a junior at Howell High School. While living in Garden City, he served on that city’s Downtown Development Authority and was a church elder. Locally, he sat on an interim board for the Howell Conference and Nature Center as it formed a permanent board. He said his main issues for the schools include getting more state money and developing better relationships with employees and residents. Clum resigned June 11, citing health reasons after completing two years of her second four-year term. She was re-elected to the board in May of 2005 and had served as both board secretary and most recently vice president of the board. Miller will serve on the board until the point of the next school board election, typically set in the spring although school officials said 'Tuesday they are considering moving their school elections to November to save $37,000 the district paid for hosting elections in May. If he chooses to run at that time. Miller would seek to fill the remainder of Clum’s fouryear term, which expires in 2009. P h o t o R e p r i n t s !

The loan, approved Tuesday by the township’s Board of Trustees, could save Hamburg from losing uj) to $1 million in interest from its sewer operation and maintenance fund, and it can be paid back without an increase in user fees, officials said. “That’s significant for us as taxpayers,” said Supervisor Cindy Pine. Hamburg has set aside a portion of residents’ quarterly sewer bills to help fix and upgrade the 20-year-old Ore Lake system and that fund is earning about 5 percent interest. Pine said. The loan, from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality’s State Revolving F\md program, comes with a 2.25 percent interest rate, so interest being earned in the operation and maintenance account easily will pay for the loan, she said. “If we use the cash, it’s cash we’re not investing and earning interest on,” said Trustee Pat Hohl. “The most astute thing we can do is save the money we can.” Still, the decision to submit the loan application by the July 1 deadline was not unanimously supported by the board. Clerk Joanna Hardesty cast the only dissenting vote, saying she didn’t believe a proper public hearing had been conducted. “It was not a public hearing,” Hardesty said. “It was a question-and-answer session.” 'If we use the cash, it's cash we're not investing and earning interest on.' Pat Hohl, trustee A court stenographer a ttended the June 6 meeting to make an official record of public comment and Pine said the MDEQ officials she’s spoken with have said that meets its requirements for an appropriate public hearing. Part of the confusion stems from a board decision not to have a public hearing at the same meeting on a separate loan application it was considering for an upgrade to Hamburg’s wastewater treatment plant at M- 36 and Merrill Road. The plant upgrade is INMATES F R O M A 1 Officials seek cost savings just aren’t there anymore for us to hire the custodians to do it.” Pinckney has eliminated half of its custodian jobs to help handle rising costs and recent cuts in state funding. Fifteen custodians were laid off at one time in February 2004. “We’re absolutely doing this out of necessity,” said Pinckney High Principal Jim Darga, who approached the sheriff’s department about giving this program a try. The sheriff’s department also has used these inmates to help the county cut its building and grounds budget, Bezotte said. They’ve washed windows, pulled weeds and done general maintenance around the courthouse and elsewhere.

For every four days inmates participate in this program, an extra day is reduced from their sentences, which will help relieve overcrowding at the jail that has a capacity of 255. The jail experienced its fifth overcrowding emergency in two years this spring, forcing Bezotte to make an acrossthe- board cut in sentences and release 55 inmates.

The possibility of cutting busing was not discussed at all. Parent John Conely thanked board member Miles Vieau for his years of service (it was Vieau’s last board meeting) and also said, “I don’t see enough community participation in what’s going on here,” re ferring to the attendance of only a handful of residents from the district. Nine teacher positions have been reduced due to staffing adjustments, and there will be a reduction in total compensation costs of 2.5 percent. although no specific plan has yet been devised. School Board President Cindy (Tvengros said, “There are ways to do that beyond compensation like more efficient use of people.” Craig also plans to review such areas as transportation, special education and athletics to make sure all are being run efficiently.

The June 6 incident has had people weighing in on both sides. Lisa Beyer, who lives west r of Brighton, wants the city to install a fence or at least a railing so that - at a minimum - no mother has to go through a similar ordeal as that of Oceola Township resident Melissa Lynch. \ The incident occurred when Lynch visited the Mill Pond with her three children, a 4- year-old daughter, 2-year-old son, and 5-week-old baby, who was strapped to her in a baby carrier. The toddler was feeding the waterfowl at the pond’s edge when he apparently slipped in while Lynch was distracted. Her daughter and a friend shouted that he had fallen in, and Lynch jumped in, with the infant still strapped to her chest, and grabbed the boy’s arm. A man then came and pulled them out of the water. Lynch doesn’t know who the anonymous hero was because . he disappeared, r Beyer says the solution could be a fence, or “something like a cement barrier or tasteful railing, like the one on the (’IHdge footbridge over the Mill Pond).’’ City officials say a fence I might tempt a curious child to climb it, causing more harm than good. “Yes, a child could climb over it, but it gives the parent a chance to grab the child,” Beyer responds. “I have ambivalent feelings about it, (and) every parent can relate to the time their kid got away fi"om them,” says Brighton Mayor Steve Monet. “I’m sure it seemed like an eternity, and her anxiety was off the scales ... but I can talk about whether (a fence) is going to inhibit the ability to rescue the kids. “The minute you put up a barrier people are going to ^ climb over it, and that’s why they don’t put a barrier over the Grand Canyon,” Monet says. “You can’t protect people from every potential tragedy in the world.” Lynch’s husband, Alan, h says the incident was difficult enough, but the aftermath has been “traumatic” for his wife, with some accusing her of neglect. Alan Lynch defends his wife, who at the time had three small children under tow. “She’s not being neglectful, but when you have got a 2-year-old, it’s just a rambunc- SCHOOL'S OUT $000 OFF m E x p i r e s H 6/30/07 SENIOR EARLY BIRD SPECIAL $4 0 haircut ^ \ L only; (62 & up, M -F ) Before noon Shaves, fades, flat lops, long or short hair 8 6 9 0 W .

Lynch says he has not been to the Mill Pond, but adds, “I don’t think (a fence) could hurt.” Beyer has written to City Manager Dana Foster asking that a fence or railing be installed, and says Foster has responded that the city would research it and talk to its insurance company. Brighton Police Chief Tom Wightman says his department was not notified when the episode took place. “We weren’t called at the time,” Wightman says. He says he is “not aware of any other incidents” involving someone falling into the Mill Pond in the two years he has been chief, or before. Beyer contends there have been at least two prior incidents in which a child fell in and was plucked out by an adult. Beyer says she is “taking a wait-and-see approach.” Even if the city decides not to erect a fence around the pond, she feels she has at least called public attention to the matter. “I’m content with the fact that I’ve created an awareness, and hope that people will keep an eye on their children a little bit more.” The Mill Pond in downtown Brighton is a popular destination, especially for families with young children who can take advantage of the nearby play structure. One local woman thinks the city should put a barrier along the w ater a fter a youngster fell into the pond.

The owners experienced a temporary glitch when they had to make an unexpected change in chefs. The restaurant, which initially opened last Thursday, was closed between Friday and Tuesday morning until the new chef was acclimated to his new surroundings and the restaurant’s distinctive menu. “It’s a beautiful place, says Kathy Bergman, of Marion Township. “I’m glad it’s independent and not just another faceless chain,” Bergman adds. The menu “has an Italian flair,” Bielaska says, with several varieties of pasta dishes, pizza, salads, seafood, grinders, calzones, focaccias, ciabattas, pitas, melts, steaks and veal. Bielaska says the byword is casual dining. “I wanted to make sure we created a fun environment, not stuffy, and give good service and good food,” he says. Bergman and luncheon companion Colette Coomes, of Hamburg Township, who were enjoying their culinary choices on a recent day, give the cuisine an A-plus. “It’s delicious,” says Coomes, who had a salmon Caesar salad. Also enjoying their meals were recent arrivals from New Orleans, Jill and Ryan Lay, of Genoa Township. “I like the option of being outside (on the patio),” Jill Lay says. “It’s a (hot) day, and is still cool because they have three (ceiling) fans.” “It was nice they put these windows in; they can use (the patio) all year-round,” she says.

She will teach advanced placement English as well as English to grades 9 and 10. “I’m so happy,” MTA Superintendent B a r b ^ Stellard said of Capy accepting a post there. “Tve Imown of Cathy, and she’s a tremendous young educator,” she added. MTA is a public school academy east of Muskegon which is chartered through Grand Valley State University. Stellard said that after reading news stories about Capy, they talked, and Capy agreed to accept a post there. Stellard said Capy has a unique approach and “I needed someone to engage with my kids.” Capy was traveling this week and could not be reached for comment on her new post. In an interview in May, Capy told The News she had hoped to continue her career in a more urban setting after having experienced her student teaching at Lansing Everett High School. The move also takes Capy back to her western Michigan roots; she was raised in Grand Haven where her mother is still a school administrator. Capy has found herself embroiled in controversies at Howell High School. She has been the adviser for the Diversity Club which hung a rainbow flag at the school that some said represented homosexuality; the flag eventually was taken down from public (fisplay. As an AP English teacher, Capy also used “The Freedom Writers Diary” as an optional read, which critics said had inappropriate content; the school board has left the book on the optional read list. She did not let the controversies deter her from challenging students to think outside of the box. Asked about her philosophy, she said; “I put my heart and soul in whatever I do. There’s no point in doing it if you’re not going to do it with all that you have and all that you are.” Capy left last week for Long Beach, Calif., where she was invited to participate in fiveday Freedom Writers Institute, a workshop for teachers based on the fundamentals in “The Freedom Writers Diary.” The book has diary entries from a diverse mix of at-risk high school students who took on a mission to teach tolerance and diversily.Howell Superintendent Chuck Breiner said although Capy found herself caught in issues that ultimately Cathy Capy became political for the district, she remained a “champion of diversify in our school system. “Her view of diversity was to look beyond the school system’s walls and the community boundaries. She had a really global view of diversity,” he said. “In that way, I think she will be missed, most notably by students.” I N B R I E F Summer hours set for teen center The Howell Area Teen Center has set summer hours for its drop-in program.

CD CD M lt ^ ^ > COURTESY, LINDHOUT AND ASSOCIATES A "Downtown M a in " m artini bar and Grille is proposed for 201 W. Main St. at West Street in Brighton. Above is a front view, the other is a view from West St. ^ Entrepreneur proposes locating martini bar, restaurant in Brighton Plans hinge on approval from city, ^ Liquor Commission BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter A Brighton entrepreneur is proposing a martini bar and small restaurant in downtown Brighton where, until recently, a women’s clothing store stood. Lindsay Omstead wants to put her “Downtown Main Martini Bar and Grille” in the former Beverly Raes women’s apparel store site at 201 W. Main St. Beverly Raes recently relocated to the former Little Professor building across the street. ^ Omstead is a certified public accountant who worked several years as a CPA before deciding accounting wasn’t for her. She now is a full-time coordinator at River Birch Lodge in Hartland Township and assistant manager at the new Stonefire Bistro in Brighton. Her original plans were to open The Sports Page Bar & Grill in Hartland Township, but says she ran into all sorts of difficulties and finally backed out late last year after spending $180,000. Omstead then looked to Brighton, where she found the reception enthusiastic. “Brighton city officials are visionary, they are optimistic, and they want us here,” Omstead says. If the Brighton City Council and state Liquor Control Commission approve the special redevelopment district liquor license Omstead is seeking, she hopes to start renovating the east half of the building in August and have it open for business by “late October or early November.” Omstead has signed a lease with developer Mike Corrigan, who bought the building from Kathy Jones, for the corner half of the building. Corrigan says there also has been considerable interest in the west side of the building. “We’ve had a lot of inquiries and should make a decision soon,” he says. Brighton Mayor Steve Monet says that, if approved, the martini bar and restaurant would add to the ambiance of downtown. “We have a restaurant-friendly area, so people are coming here to eat, and we’re a walkable community and it seems to promote a desire of restaurateurs to put their (establishments) here,” Monet says. Besides the many varieties of martinis (Omstead stuffs her own olives with different flavors, including anchovies and garlic), the bar will feature bottled beers from around the world. The restaurant portion will have a short, two-page menu, but Omstead promises high-quality food from hors d’oeuvres to full dinners. “We hope to keep things simple, but good: high quality, good taste,” she says. She plans a complete renovation of the interior, with a “contemporary look.” She has already secured the services of a chef for the planned, 108-seat establishment, and plans outdoor seating for 12 to 18 customers. Nick Palizzi of Lindhout Associates, the architect for the project, says it will feature a unique lighted bar top with light-emitting diodes controlled by a computer that will light up the entire bar top with color. Initially, Omstead will concentrate on the main floor, but several months down the line wants to convert the basement into a separate bar-entertainment area, with live music and possibly a comedy club. Despite the state’s economy and increasing retail competition, Omstead is optimistic about the future of downtown. “Brighton’s going to become a destination place for people to go. It’s going to become the newest hot spot,” she predicts. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009.

Each of them will be paid $40,000 over the next three years, and their departure helped the district avoid teacher layoffs because not filling seven of their jobs trimmed about $800,000 from Pinckney’s projected $1.5 million budget deficit next year. Retirement had been in the back of many of these teachers’ minds for at least a couple of years, said Brian Higgins, assistant superintendent for personnel. Still, there are parents, students and co-workers sad to see this experience leaving all at once, and others are concerned that Michigan’s poor economy, which impacts school funding, is forcing districts like Pinckney to make these buyout offers. “It may come back to haunt them,” said Kate Veinbergs, who had three children taught by Dickman. “I guess only time will tell.” The good-byes are a little tougher this year because so many teachers are going all at once, said Superintendent Dan Danosky, but their departure paves the way for the next generation. “We’ll miss the people who are leaving, but we’re very fortunate to have good, quality younger teachers to step in and fill the void,” Danosky said. “This gives our younger staff members an opportunity to step up to leadership positions and there’s real value in that.” Dickman taught in Pinckney for 33 years. He spent 18 at Pinckney Elementary, seven at Farley Hill Elementary and the re st at Lakeland Elementary. As he’s done for many years, Dickman ended this year with a class play that incorporates the cooperation, respect and responsibility he’s tried to teach. “It gives the kids a chance to prove to themselves that they are as great as I always knew they were,” he said. “Ending it all with this play is just a great way to culminate everything.” Nine of the retiring teachers are from Pinckney Community High School. Among them is Mary Picucci, a social studies teacher and student government leader Eric Dickman is . surrounded by his last fourthgrade class at Lakeland Elementary School.The group was taking a break from the play they w ere working on.

The couple immediately made a trip to Alaska to meet Sophia, their first grandchild, and have bought a motorhome for further travels. “It was a big decision,” .

Council members will vote whether to increase the flatrate charge for sewer from the current $72 to $92.40 per quarter. If approved, the metered sewer rate would rise from the current $4.80 to $6.26 per thousand gallons. The flatrate charge for water would be increased from $33 to $38 per quarter. The metered water rate would go up from the current $2.60 to $3.02 per thousand gallons. If passed, the proposed increase for the 2007-08 fiscal year will result in a flat-rate Kost per quarter of $136.40 (inluding a $6 “readiness” charge that does not change) for a combined sewer and water bill. That is an increase of $25.40 per quarter over the current $111 flat-rate quarterly charge for both sewer and water, or approximately a $100 increase per year for both services. The increases are part of a proposed three-year plan that will increase quarterly sewer charges for flat-rate customers $20.40 each year for the next three years resulting in a quarterly charge of $133.20, or a total increase of $61.20 over the current $72 per quarter. Metered sewer customers will pay an extra $1.46 per thousand gallons each year for three years for a total increase of $4.38 over the current charge of $4.80 resulting in a charge of $9.18 per thousand gallons by the third year. ’ Proposed increases for flatrate water customers will be a $5-per-quarter increase each year for the next three years, resulting in a quarterly charge of $48 per quarter, or a total increase of $15 over the current $33 quarterly charge. Metered customers will pay an extra 42 cents per thousand gallons each year for three years for a tot^ increase of $1.26 over the current charge of $2.60 resulting in a charge of $3.86 per thousand gallons by the third year. In a memo to the council, village accountant John McCurc^ said the necessary increases have been calculated based on current water and sewer budgets with an inflationary increase, and have been based on a slight increase in current users. “The fact that there is a fund balance in water and sewer will allow for a three-year phase-in of the needed adjustments,” McCurdy said. “This phasein should start in July 2007, or the ability to m a in t^ some reserves will be in jeopardy.

Waking to the sounds of birds singing in the badg^ard, eating breakfast outside on the deck, taking a long bike ride or a walk in the woods ... Does it get any better than this? This is the time of year when so many people like me long to be school kids again. Oh, to have the summer off, with few commitments and opportunities to sleep late, play baseball, head to the beach and hang out with friends. ■ Thankless jo b : What an awful time to be a school administrator or school board member. Would you want to be one of the people responsible for trying to maintain high educational standards with less and less money? On top of that there’s no certainty to what future funding will be. I mean, who doesn’t want today’s students to get the best possible education? A quality education is one of the key ingredients in a happy, successful life. But, as you read elsewhere in this week’s edition, local school districts are barely hanging onto what they have as they approve budgets for the coming year. Brighton was able to avoid big cuts by using up virtually all of its reserve funds. That’s a dangerous move in this uncertain economy. What no one can know is what will happen a year from now. ■ Take a deep breath: While driving to work the other day, another motorist was following so closely, I could barely see her car’s front grill. As I glanced in the rear-view mirror a couple of times, I could see she was having an intense cell phone conversation. A few minutes later she seized the moment and passed me. Apparently I was poking along at just 55 mph in a 50 mph zone. At least she tossed her cigarette out the window as she pulled out around me to free up at least one hand to keep on the wheel. \ ^ y is it that we are so rushed these days that so many motorists routinely drive 10-15 mph over the speed limit as we talk on our phones, eat lunch or read a report as we dash off to work? ■ Up, up and aw ay: This is Balloonfest weekend in Howell. It’s an incredible time of the year as the sky fills with colorful hot air balloons. They really are magical to watch. I never grow tired of sitting on the sidelines and watching the whole process that pilots and crews go through to prepare and inflate the balloon and then float away for a journey to wherever the wind will take them. Even better is going along for the ride. While Balloonfest is a competition for the more than 50 pilots who are participating this year, there are other opportunities to go for a balloon ride. Nearly all local pilots - and there are plenty - look for any excuse to fly. Stop by Balloonfest this weekend at the Howell High School campus and pick up some of the balloon trading cards that almost all pilots have on hand. Contact information is always printed on the back. It will be a ride you will never forget. Managing Editor Rick Fitzgeraid can be reached at rfitzgeraid@ iivingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2004. BY U SA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter ackenzie Donnelly knows why maintaining Hartland’s Florence B. Bearing Museum is important to her. “Instead of thinking inside your head, you can see things for real,” says Mackenzie. The third-grader in Kathy Jagusch’s class at Hart-' land’s Lakes Elementary School visited the museum late last month as part of a school field trip. “This is their community, and we teach Hartland history,” says Jagusch. “We study the pioneers coming from Europe to America and to Hartland.” “It’s awesome to come to the museum and compare things to the pictures,}’ says student Valerie Valcoff. “It refreshes your memory about what the pioneers used,” adds fellow student Michael Zaccagni. Those are some of the reasons the Hartland Area Historical Society is planning a number of improvements to the Florence B. Dealing Museum, which will include the installation of heat and air conditioning, a bathroom on the lower level and handicap access to the building. “There has been no heat in the building for about 25 years, and many cloth and paper items in the collection have been negatively impacted,” says Barbara Krueger, a member of the Hartland Area Historical Society, who gives tours of the museiun. “Over the past two to three years, the Historical Society Building Committee has been working with Gary Comillaud, the architect across the street from the museum, to come up with a tiered plan for improvements.” To pay for those improvements, Krueger says there will be some fundraising over the next few years, and people will be asked for donations. Hartland’s &st museum was established in 1958 by Florence B. Bearing in the basement of the Cromaine Library. Bearing, who was a librarian, wanted to document the rural farm and cultural life of the area, and in 1960, the Hartland school board voted to name the museum after Bearing. In 1972, the Hartland Area Jaycees moved the museum collection from the library to the old town hall and the museum was officially SEE MUSEUM, 83 Josh Malewski, 9, a student at Hartland's Lakes Elementary School, looks through a stereoscope - a sort of 3-D viewer from the early 20th century -during a recent visit to Hartland's Florence B.

Howell's G.W. Lee house gets historical marker Civil W ar reenactor Paul Scheidler leads the color guard at the Ju n e 16 dedication of the George Washington Lee home's historical marker in Howell. The two-story, Greek Revival style house was built by Lee in the mid-1800s. He was among those who helped to establish the Republican Party. LINDA THEIL SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Lee carried state's votes for Abraham Lincoln to nation's capital in 1860 BY LIN D A TH EIL News Special Writer The first state historical marker at a private residence in Howell recognizes the home of George Washington Lee, who is noted for his Civil War service and to helping estabUsh the RepubUcan Party in the area. The marker was dedicated last weekend at 404 S. Walnut St. The two-story, Greek Revival style house, owned by Marilyn and Gary Emerson, was built around 1846 by Lee (1812-1882). “We’re thrilled,” Emerson said. “We think it honors the house.” Larry Hathcock, president of the George W Lee Civil War Roundtable of Howell acted as master of ceremonies at the unveiling of the marker that reads in part: “George W. Lee ... moved from New York state to Michigan in 1836. A businessman and public servant, Lee helped to establish the Republican Party in 1854 and started the county’s first newspaper in 1855. He was appointed quartermaster for Michigan during the Civil War and later served as Indian Agent for the state.” Hartland resident and roundtable past-president Carol Halstead is the Civil War enthusiast and research- SEE LEE HOUSE, 83 George Washington Lee 1 8 1 2 : Bom in New York state. 1 8 3 6 : Arrived in Marion Township to farm with parents Guy (.and Sally Lee and his younger brother Frederick J.

PHOTOS: HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Annual Fun Fest heats u p H am burg New attractions contribute to this year's success From News staff reports Temperatures climbed but so did attendance at the second annual Hamburg Family F\m Fest June 14-17 in Hamburg Township’s Manly W. Bennett Memorial Park. The event, organized by the Hamburg Enhanced Recreation Organization, offered more carnival rides and activities and drew probably about 50 percent more people than it did last year, said Joanna Hardesty, HERO president. “It was hot, but it was an outstanding weekend,” Hardesty said. “People came and they all seemed to enjoy themselves. Everyone seemed thrilled we were having this event.” New attractions, including a petting zoo and a second fireworks display on Saturday, contributed to the success, Hardesty said. Costs were a little higher this year because so many new attractions were added, but HERO expects to match the $25,000 brought in at last year’s festival, she said. Money raised at the Family Fm Fest this year will support the Hamburg Performing Arts Theatre Association and the Hamburg R/C Flyers, the club of radio- controlled plane enthusiasts who are creating a new flying field in the park. HERO is a nonprofit group that supports the advancement of recreational opportunities in Hamburg Tbwnship. The carnival rides and arcade games always seem more enticing at night.

The old tovm hall was built in 1891. The Victorian-style structure sits at the corner of Crouse Road and Hartland Road. The Hartland Area Historical Society was formed in 1970 to preserve the town hall and save it from destruction. Now the Historical Society is undertaking a list of major improvements to the building to allow the museum to be used year-round. Now it’s only open in the summer. The museum, which averages up to 1,000 visitors each summer, includes permanent exhibits such as a Idtchen parlor, a post office, a wool and flax spinning wheel, a skein winder and a handmade loom, which is more than 200 years old. There also are logging and woodworking tools, clothing, books, and photographs from the 1800s and early 1900s. During the last 10 years, wood has been replaced on the building, the exterior has been painted, and the porch steps have been replaced. The estimated cost for the three phases of renovations that the Historical Society would like to see accomplished totals nearly $281,000.

COURTESY, JOY POMERVILLE R e d C ro ss te a c h in g k id s h o w to m a n a g e a lo n e w h ile a t h om e When parents are at work, children's solo skills can be valuable B Y L IS A C A R O L f N News Staff Reporter Cindy Clements wants her 10-year-old twins Kelsey and Kenna to know how to handle any situation if they are home alone. That’s why she had them take the American Red Cross’s Safe on My Own class recently offered at Brighton’s Homung Elementary School. “It increases my comfort level for them to take this class,” said Clements. Karen Gregg, health and safety coordinator for the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross, teaches the class. “There are more single-parent households and more parents working, and that means more kids are spending time home alone,” she says, explaining the need for the class. The American Red Cross Youth Services Division sug- H om e alone? The American Red Cross recommendations for when a child is home alone: ■ Develop a plan to contact a parent or other adult. ■ Get permission before leaving the house. ■ Keep the door locked and talk through it if someone knocks or rings the bell. ■ Don't open the door to accept package deliveries. gests that parents review “home alone” responsibilities with children, including understanding how smoke alarms work, having a fire escape plan, knowing how door and window locks work, having a first aid kit, preparing a list of important telephone numbers and posting it near the telephone. When it comes to answering the telephone when a child is home alone, Gregg advises to never tell a caller that you are home alone, but to tell them something specific, like an adult is unavailable because they are in the shower or mowing the lawn. Gregg also suggests creating a list of rules that include guidelines for when children may leave the house, when friends may come over, watching television, using the telephone and cooking. Colleen Sova brought her daughter, Haley, to the class. “I’m back to work full time, and my daughter will have a couple hours at the end of the day when she’ll be on her own,” said Colleen Sova. Safe on My Own is offered through community education programs in Livingston County. For more information, call the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross at 517- 546-0326.

LEE HOUSE FROM B1 Civil War re-enactors serve as color guard er who spent two years preparing the group’s application to the Michigan Historical Commission, advisory to the Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries. “It’s always fascinating researching a fascinating person,” Halstead said. “The more time I took, the more impressed I became with G.W. Lee. He was an honor to his state and an honor to his town. Everyone who knew him spoke well of him and I just became enthralled. This was a labor of love.” Charter roundtable member Richard Lee (no relation to G.W. Lee) of Fowlerville did early work on the research along with other roundtable members Glen Fincham and William Dixon. Lee joined Halstead and the Emersons for the honor of unveiling the historical marker at the dedication. In the prelude to his invocation, Civil War researcher and author Richard Hutchins said, “We have not forgotten Colonel Lee” and the 350 Livingston County soldiers who lost their lives in the Civil War. A contingent of Civil War re-enactors from the Gilluley- Kingsley Camp No. 120 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War in Howell served as color guard during the ceremonies. Re-enactors Mike Taylor, his son Matt Taylor, Ken Joslin and Richard Lee were led by Paul Scheidler. Scheidler teaches U.S. and world history at Hartland High School and is a lieutenant colonel in the 246 Transportation Battalion of the Michigan National Guard. He served active duty in Bosnia in 2004. Attendees at the ceremony were welcomed by Howell Mayor Geri Moen and congratulated by state Sen. Valde Garcia, R-Marion Township, who said he was particularly pleased to be honoring one of the founders of his own Republican Party. Roundtable founder and historian David Finney of Howell gave a lively summary of G.W. Lee’s exploits. He told the crowd that not only was G.W. Lee in attendance at the 1854 meeting in Jackson, Mich., where the Republican Party was born, but - as an elector in 1860 - Lee was chosen to carry Michigan’s electoral votes for Abraham Lincoln to Washington, D.C. Finney also said Lee was involved in the development of Detroit’s Harper Hospital, which was founded to serve the wounded and sick veterans of the Civil War. Neighbor Jackie Mullaney took her grandchildren Abbigail Mullaney and Nicholas Mullaney to the dedication ceremony. “I’m here because I wanted my grandchildren to experience this. Nicholas is very interested in history and is particularly fond of Abraham Lincoln. He’ll be interested in the local connection to the Civil War.” Former history teacher, sculptor and Red Cross volunteer Gail Carter returned early form a trip to Toledo so she would not miss the event. “This is incredibly important,” Carter said.

S u m m e r C o n c e rt S e rie s sp ic e s u p F rid a y s in d o w n t o w n H o w e ll Musical the old courthouse offers visitors a variety BY LA U R IE H UM PH REY News Staff Reporter Sports fans have the playoffs, horse racing enthusiasts have the Kentucl^ Derby. Jim and Patricia Fortner have the Howell Summer Concert Series in front of the Historic Courthouse. They have attended every concert for the last eight years, with just one exception. “We missed one for a Lansing Lugnuts (minor league) game about four years ago,” says Patricia Fortner, of Howell Township. While she can’t remember if the ball team won their game those many years ago, she has remembered to mark off each Friday night on the summer calendar since. “We don’t make any other plans on Friday night during the summer,” said the 75-yearold concert-goer. Instead, she and her 80-year-old husband position their lawn chairs in the same place on the hill every Friday afternoon around 4:30 p.m., head to Diamonds for dinner, then return to their seats before the music starts. “It’s a good Friday night,” she explains. Organizers of the Howell Summer Concert Series are “kicking it up a notch” this year for loyal audience members like the Fortners with more big-name bands. It’s all part of a plan to bring more people downtown. “I truly believe it (concert series) is the best thing happening in the community in the summer,” says Camille Lievense, Livingston Arts Council program director for the concerts. “It’s an opportunity to listen to great talent and visit with friends.” Lievense estimates last year’s free concerts brought about 1,000 people downtown each Friday night. She’s aiming higher this year, and has enlisted the talents of “Dave King’s Elvis 'Tribute Show” and “Air Margaritaville” to help the effort. In an attempt “to provide diverse family entertainment,” a variety of music genres will be featured in the eight-week series beginning Friday, June 29. From rock ‘n roil to blues to a local Latino band, Lievense promises a good time. “People can come out and see their neighbors. The kids can dance. This is a real community- building event,” she says. “It’s our gift to the community.” The concerts were made possible with a minigrant from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and a variety of community sponsors. LAC secured $15,000 to cover expenses. New this year, a few of the concerts will be the culmination of activities throughout the day. For instance, in recognition of the 30th anniversary of Elvis’ death, concert-goers are invited to dress in 1950s-era clothes and congregate in front of the courthouse before the “Dave King’s Elvis 'Tribute Show” Aug. 3. While unconfirmed, Lievense also suggested Elvis sightings downtown were possible that day as her group will work Concert lineup All concerts are in front of the Historic Courthouse in downtown Howell and are free. They begin at 7 p.m. ■ Ju n e 29: "The Jump Street Swing Band," sponsored by the City of Howell. ■ July6:"Millish Traditional Irish," sponsored by DTE Energy. ■ Ju ly 13: "Air Margaritaville," a Jimmy Buffett tribute show. ■ Ju ly 20: "Tumbao Bravo," a Detroit Award-Winning Latino-Cuban band. ■ Ju ly 27: "Pete'Big Dog' Fetters," a Roadhouse Blues group sponsored by Asahi Kasei Plastics. ■ Aug. 3: "Dave King's Elvis Tribute Show," sponsored by The Parker Foundation. ■ Aug. 10: "The Surrogate Band," a Pink Floyd tribute sponsored by WHMI radio. ■ Aug. 17: "Paradise," a trop-rock beach party show sponsored by Scully- Monroe Insurance, TW & Friends, and Howell Western Wear. behind the scenes “to make the day more of an event.

But Larry Steeb always was the constant. Steeb, Whitmore Lake’s longtime boys and girls cross country and track coach, was a fixture, both to encourage his young runners and to make sure the event was a success. “He was the one who was instrumental in helping us set up the run for many years,” re- (Ms George Brown, one of the organizers this year. “He would know what to do. He had the clock up and starter gun ready. We only had to get people to register.” Steeb, who died in February, won’t be there physically this year, but there’s no doubt he’ll be there in spirit. The run has been renamed in his honor. It’s now the Lany Steeb Memorial Independence Day 10-Kilometer Run, Splash ‘n Dash and 5K Run-Walk, scheduled for 8 a.m. Julyl. Brown says the race normally attracts 100 to 150 people but he expects more will show this year to honor Steeb. “He was very well known and liked,” Brown says. Two other unique events will keep runners booking over the fourth of July weekend. The Howell Independence Aquathlon in the Howell City P ^ k is one of the few events in the country featuring a 1- kilometer swim sandwiched between two 2K nms. It starts at 9 a.m. July 1. It attracts a wide mix of athletes, from triathloners to swimmers pretending to be runners and vice versa. It is short enough that most anyone can finish the event, but at the same time, you’ve got to be quite talented in both disciplines to win. A new event, the Hungry Duck Run, is being organized by the Brighton Livingston Sunrise Rotary Club to raise money and awareness for Gleaners Community Food Bank. The Hungry Duck Run, which is piggybacking off the popular duck races in the Mill Pond Park, features a halfmarathon (13.1 miles), a 5K, a team challenge and a shorter fun run, all beginning at 7 a.m. July 4. Registration forms can be found at Runnin’ Gear on East Grand River Avenue in Brighton Township or on the web at www.hungryduckrun.com. Co-organizer Julie Easton said last week the event has attracted 70 participants with many more expected to show up race day. “Our thoughts are at least 300 runners (will show).. .Word is getting out that we have a run that can help out the county,” Easton says. “I expect it ^ just get larger and larger.” The course will start off downtown, wind through subdivisions and at one point, go down the Brighton Airport runway. “Hopefully the runners see a little bit of everything when they are out there,” Easton says. There’s a push to get businesses and churches involved in the food drive. Easton is getting her first taste of just how difficult it is to get a race up and running, pardon the pun. “We didn’t know it would be as overwhelming as it’s been,” she admits. “Hopefully, it is going to come to fruition.” With the amount of nmners in this county, all three events should come out winners.

B Y J A S O N D E E G A N News Staff Reporter Youngsters aren’t the only ones who will be teeing it up competitively this summer. Nathan Oake and Ethan Hawker, the present and past Hartland High School boys golf coaches who launched the Livingston County Ju nior Tour last summer, have expanded their offerings with two new events - junior and men’s championships. Oake said the junior championship, scheduled for Aug. 13 on the championship course at Oak Pointe Country Club, was created because of the change of the high school seasons, with the girls moving to fall and the boys to spring. The cost is $69. “Players can use this as a goal to prepare for” their upcoming high school season, Oake says. “We want them to play a lot of competitive golf. The junior championship is after a lot of the (other) junior tours end.” The men’s championship will be the first of its kind, with an eye toward identifying the best golfers in the county. Oake, a high school teacher who gives lessons at the Majestic at Lake Walden in Hartland Township, drew from his experience working with the Ann Arbor men’s city championship. The three-day, 54-hole tournament, which will be similar to the popular Ann Arbor event, will be Aug. 17 to 19 at Dunham Hills Golf Course in Hartland Township. The cost is $190. “I hope to have some high school and college players, but also some working-class golfers who have the time and ability to compete,” Oake says. “The golf course lends itself to different ranges of skills.” Dunham Hills head professional Mike Spranger says it’s SEE G O L F ,C 2 H e a d i n g f o r b o d y b u i l d i n g c o m p e t i t i o n t h i s w e e k e n d Angel Pyle adopted a new lifestyle approach three years ago, building the muscles on her tiny frame and learning to eat more healthy foods.

Her frame remained tiny, despite poor eating habits. She had no muscle. A trip to the doctor - a “medical wakeup call,” she calls it - forced her to rethink her life. “I was extremely unhealthy,” she says, looking back now. “I just ate junk food. It was bad, bad. Not a single vegetable passed through my lips.” Pyle has reshaped her body and her lifestyle the last three years around staying fit. The 40-year-old mother of two from Genoa Township says she quit a six-figure-salary job as the sales manager for a reffi estate developer to devote herself to fitness full-time. She’s getting a license to be a personal trainer, in hopes of helping other women. She’s writing a book about her journey, scheduled to be published later this year. To validate her newfound passion, she competed in the NPC Junior Michigan Bodybuilding and Melissa Frabbiele Figure and Fitness Classic in Detroit on June 2. “I was the runt of the bunch,” she says. “These girls were much younger and had been training for many years. I felt honored to be among them. It was the thrill of a lifetime.” This weekend, she will show off her new physique in the Great Lakes-lronman Natural Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness contest at the University of Michigan-Flint campus.

COURTESY, DISCRAFT C2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 2007 GOLF FROM Cl 2007's Junior Tour includes 3 parent-child scrambles about time the county created its own championship. “Usually the first year is the toughest. You need to have someone play it and then get the word out,” he says. “I’m not expecting to do what Ann Arbor does. That has been there forever, but hopefully we can get there eventually.” The Junior Tour continues to grow and evolve. The schedule, which started this week at Faulkwood Shores in Howell, consists of 12 events, including three parent-child scrambles. The registration fee is $50, plus up to $30 per round depending on the age of the player (parent-child scrambles are $50 to $60). Younger golfers play between 5 and 9 holes per round. Oake says nearly 100 players have registered thus far, up from 85 last season. “Our niche is toward the developing of players who haven’t taken the leap to competitive summer golf,” he says.

MOSIER FROM Cl He's acknowledged as a strong thrower on amateur tour dence,” says Brian Sullivan of Discraft, a disc manufacturer and one of the event’s major sponsors. “He’s being acknowledged by many competitors as the strongest thrower on the amateur tour. He can really throw it a country mile.” The Toboggan Run Course at Kensington Metropark features long holes and plenty of hills to tire even the most experienced disc golfers. “The course is crazy,” Mosier says of the terrain. “It has to be one of the most difficult courses in the world.” To prepare himself for the challenge, Mosier played three rounds a day at the course for several weeks. As the tournament rolled on, his confidence kept building. “I started getting a lot of support fi'om other local players,” Mosier says. “They were rooting for me.” Tournament Director Todd White also noticed Mosier’s confidence. “He throws far and he throws accurate,” White says. In the final round, Mosier found himself one stroke back of the lead going into the 18th hole, a 315-foot par 3, a long par 3 by disc golf standards. “I knew I was the only one that could birdie the hole,” he says. Mosier’s drive got him in position for a 50-foot birdie toss, which would have forced a playoff with leader Jake Newel of Kansas. “I just kept thinking ‘I gotta make this birdie, I gotta make this birdie’,” Mosier recalls. As Mosier let his birdie toss go, it was right on line. Unfortunately, the disc hit the chains and bounced out. “Everyone thought I made it,” Mosier says. “Even Jake (Newel) said his heart stopped when it hit the chains.” Despite the tough break on the 18th hole, Mosier’s father Jac Mosier was proud of his son’s performance. “I was excited,” he says. “He has been playing that course since it was put in.” Mosier’s father was instrumental in getting him involved with the sport. “We wondered what the baskets were at Kensington when I was 11,” Mosier recalls. “My dad came home with a couple discs and we started playing.” Jac Mosier was impressed with how Jamie’s knowledge of the game grew. “He was crazy about the discs,” he says. “You could throw a disc and he’d tell you the type of disc it was, how far it would go, and where it would land.” Mosier will compete next at the Amateur World Championships in Milwaukee, July 24-28. Mosier’s rise to the top of the U.S. Amateur stage in disc golfing is just one example of the growing popularity of the sport in Livingston County. Other area residents also competed in the tournament, including Joe Gabris of Howell (36th place at 2 over par) and Nate Majeslg^ of Whitmore Lake (53rd place at 6 over par). “It’s fun, cheap and an all-ages thing,” White says. “It will cost you about $6 for a disc, and all you need is a parks pass to play on the courses.” Gordie Tayior can be reached at 810-844-2008.

The school board voted Monday night to approve a $70 million 2007-08 fiscal year appropriations budget, but removed several proposed cuts until they have a more specific plan on which to vote. The district will use I $517,000 from the district’s fund equity to show a balanced budget, which officials must approve and send to the state before July 1, when the new year starts. Removed from the list of ^ budget recommendations and making up that amount were $400,000 in cuts to custodial and maintenance services, $80,000 cuts in technology, and $37,000 the district would save from moving elections from May to November. At the end of the current fiscal year, the district will have an estimated $1.9 million in fund equity, which one official called “meager.” The move does not mean the district will spend the fund equity in this way, board members said, just that most would be more comfortable with a specific plan for each item. The budget could be ^ amended to reflect any future changes. “I have a very, very difficult time that this doesn’t tell me exactly what we’re going to do,” said board secretary Jeannine Pratt, prior to the I board vote. “I would prefer we ^ remove these areas until we have a clear-cut plan in front of us. I want to know what’s going to happen. I want our employees to stay.” Trustee Wendy Day said she also wanted more specifics. “As a board, I wonder if we’ve done due diligence” in reviewing the budget, she said. “I’m totally supporting moving elections, but I want a plan.” The list given to the board offered a total savings in each area, but no plans on how to reach those savings. Recommendations approved to balance the annual budget included cutting ^ $600,000 saved by eliminating r a seven-period day at the mid- I die school, trimming $50,000 for downsizing pool operations, saving $575,000 when 25 teachers took an early retirement buyout, cutting $176,000 ^ in discretionary spending, w $50,000 gained by moving special needs aids to the county’s intermediate school district, $125,000 cuts in conserving utilities and saving .$40,000 in maintenance costs. Overall, the recommendations trimmed $2.17 million from the coming year’s budget. The district made $8.4 million in cuts in the prior four years. “We’ve made $10 million in cuts; we have no new buses. We’re just getting thinner and thinner,” said school board SEE BUDGET, A4 Foreclosures loom for many Consumers fall victim to economy, higher living costs and housing industry So far this year, 371 homes foreclosed, more than all o f '05 BY U SA CAROLIN News S t a f f R ep o r te r The industry that helped Jack Ballard earn the money to own a house in Livingston County is the same one that is causing him to lose it. Ballard has been making his living in the building trades doing roofing, framing and siding. During the past two years, he has spent most of his time trying to find jobs. As a result, his house in Hamburg Township has fallen into foreclosure. “I did three roofs last summer, and it took me three months to find another job,” says Ballard. “Nothing is going up in this county. When I find work. I’m making $8 an hour. My bills are $950 a month for mortgage, taxes and insurance, and I’m only making $1,100. What do I do? Not eat or not pay my bills?” Ballard, whose home went into foreclosure in April, had an adjustable-rate mortgage, and he says his house payment has been adjusted up almost $200 a month. Ballard says his financial challenges started when the housing industry began to slide in Livingston County two years ago. Around the same time, his stepson died of bacterial meningitis, and he used all the money he had in the bank to pay for the burial. Ballard, who is 48, has lived in Livingston County since he was 5. “I’m not sure how much longer we can stay in this house,” says Ballard, who lives with his wife, Jennifer. “I owe the mortgage company $89,000, and I can’t afford to 'I 'v e b e e n a t t h i s j o b s i n c e 1 9 7 9 a n d h a v e n e v e r s e e n a n y t h i n g l i k e t h i s .

It’s pretty depressing.” Fbreclosures rise So far this year, 371 homes have gone into foreclosure. That’s more in five months this year, than there were in all of 2005. Livingston County Register of Deeds Sally Reynolds says that the number of foreclosures dramatically increased last year, with a total of 614 foreclosures in 2006 compared to 280 the year before. The townships with the most foreclosures so far this year are Brighton, Genoa and Hamburg. “I don’t receive the reasons for the foreclosures, but what I am hearing is that people are just walking away from homes,” says Reynolds. “They’ve refinanced so much that they have no equity left. They can’t borrow enough money to get out of hock, so they’re walking away and not trying to redeem them.” Reynolds believes it’s because homeowners have little home equity that there are so many foreclosures. She says tougher federal bankruptcy laws have added to the number. “I’ve been at this job since 1979 and have never seen anything like this,” says Reynolds. “It used to be that if property went into foreclosure, people could redeem it, but I’m not seeing that now.” Jim Wickham, a certified mortgage banker and the owner of Lender Limited in Hamburg Township, says the poor economy is a compounding factor in the high number of foreclosures. “A lot of people in Livingston County commute to work,” says Wickham. “When gas goes from $2 to $3 a gallon, it increases the cost to go to work, living costs go up, the cost to heat your home goes up, and your cost of living in the last three years could have gone up $1,000 a month. “Foreclosure is so painful for the consumer. When you get a mortgage, you sign a contract to pay a debt back, and the house is collateral. Just because the collateral is SEE FORECLOSURE,A4 ' Above: Jennifer and Jack Ballard stand by the front entrance of their home on Buck Lake that will soon no longer be theirs due to bank foreclosure.

Yet it is the end of a process that starts when a homeowner misses a mortgage payment. Here is a look at the progression toward foreclosure. Ron Moir, owner and president of the Livingston Lending Mortgage Co., says that a foreclosure occurs after a person buys a house and takes out a loan or mortgage to cover all but the down payment. If the homeowner can’t make payments, the lender can file foreclosure to recover the debt by becoming the legal owner of the property. Moir says a homeowner can miss one mortgage payment and it is called a late payment. If he misses two payments he will likely get a warning. After missing a third payment, the lender’s attorneys are notified, and by By th e numbers ^ Following is the number of foreclosures In Livingston County since the year 2000; 2007 (through May 31): 371 2006; 614 2005: 280 2004: 159 2003: 213 2002: 203 2 0 0 1 ; 112 2000: 85 Source; Livingston County Register of Deeds the fourth month, the lender can start a series of four legal notices that lead to foreclosure. “Many people, who purchased a home at a higher interest rate, are now hav- SEE PROCESS, A4 Ways to pre ven t foreclosure If you believe foreclosure on your property Is likely: ■ Call the Livingston County treasurer at 517-546-7010 for details. ■ Call the lender about options or loan modifications. Turning your house over to your lender before foreclosure will look better on your credit report. ■ Call a real estate agent and consider selling your home. You may be able to get a higher price than the mortgage amount and capture some of your home's equity. ■ Talk to a lawyer about bankruptcy options. That will not cancel the foreclosure but may give you more time. ■ Stay in your home during the redemption period; if you abandon your home, the foreclosure process may be speeded up. ■ If you have an FHA mortgage, you may have more options. ■ Don't feel pressured to sign anything for anybody.

Inside A2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 2007 IN B R I E F Brighton Space leased at EMS substation The Livingston County Board of Commissioners has approved a lease agreement with Livingston County EMS to provide temporary space at the County EMS substation in Genoa Township for Brighton Area Fire Department apparatus. The lease will cost the fire department $250 per month for six months. The fire department is planning to construct a new station on Chilson Road near 1-96. It is expected to be complete near the end of the year. ' The Howell and Brighton Area fire departments formerly shared coverage in Genoa Township, with Brighton providing fire protection on the east side and Howell on the west side. That arrangement ends Saturday when the contract, which was not renewed by Brighton, expires. The Brighton department takes over coverage for the entire township on Sunday. Commissioners Steve Williams and Mike Randall, who is a captain in the Howell Fire Department, voted against the lease arrangement. It was approved in a 7-2 vote. Award presented to DPS director Brighton Department of Public Services Director Matt Schindewolf has been given the Quarter Century Operators’ Club Award by the Michigan Water Environment Association. Schindewolf received the award Thesday at the MWEA’s annual conference awards banquet at Boyne Highlands near Harbor Springs. The award is given to members actively involved in the water environment industry for 25 years, 10 of which must have been involved in the day-to-day collections, maintenance, operations, laboratory or management of a wastewater transportation or treatment facility. City Manager Dana Foster lauded Schindewolf for his role in the Brighton Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion and improvement project. Mill Pond Lane improvements and Pierce Street water plant re-build, as well as other city water-related projects. Holiday will delay local trash pickup Trash collection in the city of Brighton for residents whose trash is picked up on Wednesday will be delayed by one day due to the Fourth of July holiday. Residents whose trash is picked up on Tuesday will not be affected by the change, but residents whose normal trash collection day is Wednesday will have pick up on Thursday, July 5.

I Hamburg Township Budget approved despite concerns Officials have approved a nearly $7 million overall operating budget for Hamburg Township in 2007-08. The budget, which goes into effect July 1, includes a nearly $3.2 million general fund and $3.9 million enterprise fund for the township’s municipal sewer system. Clerk Joanna Hardesty and Trustee Pat Hohl voted against adopting the budget during the township board’s June 19 meeting. Hardesty said her vote was based on having too little time to re view the figures. Hohl said his was based on a belief more cost-cutting could have been considered. “I don’t think it meets my budget concerns,” Hohl said, referring to the state’s overall bleak budget picture. Approximately 46 percent of Hamburg’s general fund comes from state revenue sharing funds. Supervisor Cindy Pine estimated the township would receive about $50,000 less than it did last year. Savings were made by cutting increases in spending, Pine said. She also estimated less revenue from cable franchise fees, which municipalities may lose through pending legislation. Pine said. “We are in tough times right now and are watching things very carefully,” Pine said. “We don’t want to be in a position to have to cut services.” The budget does not provide for raises for elected officials, but does contain money for staff increases, which the board was scheduled to discuss at a special meeting Thursday night. Pine said. Fire department will build tower Hamburg Township and its fire department have agreed to build a new fire training tower. The approved site at the township’s Wastewater Treatment Plant, off M- 36 near Merrill Road, was originally planned for a cellular phone tower. The spot is away from the plant and its test wells and filtration beds. Officials with the township’s Department of Public Works were concerned the fire tower’s original site was too close, and runoff from training fires could cause contamination. The tower will allow firefighters to train to fight fires and practice searchand- rescue techniques and ladder drills, said Fire Chief Doug Berry. The bulk of the $198,421 cost of the tower will be covered by $178,687 from Hamburg Fire Department Inc., a volunteer group that supports the fire department. The remainder will come from the capital improvements fund. Goetz will serve through 2010 Fred Goetz has been reappointed to another term on Hamburg Township’s Planning Commission. His new term begins July 1 and lasts through June 30, 2010. Goetz has served on the planning commission since 1999 and has acted as its chairman since the re tire ment of Marv Pedersen in 2005.

Pinckney Bid awarded for utility extension A construction bid to extend sewer and water service to businesses and property on East M-36 has been awarded by the Pinckney Village Council to DiPonio and Morello Construction Co. of Milford. The council chose the firm, which submitted a low bid of about $371,400, on Monday. Six companies were vying for the job. The council is expected to approve the fees to be charged to the properties in this special assessment district adopt a resolution to buy the bonds to fund it at its 7:30 p.m. meeting July 9 in Village Hall, 220 S. Howell Street. Work to extend the utilities to the properties, which include the Pinckney Post Office, could begin in early August, said Village President Rebecca Foster. Cemetery ordinance, rates change The Pinckney Village Council has revised its ordinance that governs sale of plots in the village’s cemetery on West M-36. The village now will buy back plots from purchasers who no longer want them for $75 each, said President Rebecca Foster. In the past, Pinckney paid 75 percent of what the purchasers paid to buy back the unwanted plots, she said. Persons who own plots also may privately sell them, but the buyers must register their new ownership with the village clerk and pay a $10 registration fee, Foster said. At its meeting Monday, the village council also approve changing the cost of a single cemetery plot from $600 to $800. The changes are being made to help the village keep track of open plots and help sustain the fund needed for future maintenance at the cemetery, Foster said. Board, teachers agree on calendar Even though they are still negotiating a contract for next year, Pinckney Community Schools’ Board of Education and the district’s teachers union have agreed on a calendar for the next school year. School will resume with a half-day of classes on Wednesday, Sept. 5. The Christmas holiday break starts at the end of the day on Friday, Dec. 21 and lasts until classes resume on Monday, Jan. 7,2008. Spring break will be March 22-30. Assistant principal resigns his position Mark Hughes has re signed his position as assistant principal at Pinckney Community High School. He’s been in the job for approximately 11 years. In his letter of resignation, accepted by the district’s board of education June 21, Hughes said, that after 31 years in education, “now is the time” for retirement. The district will look to fill the position through its administrative intern program, said Superintendent Dan Danosky. Putnam Township Salaries frozen, budget approved Officials have approved a nearly $1.12 million general fund budget for Putnam Township in 2007-08. Salaries for the township’s elected officials and five employees will remain frozen. However, the 3-percent raise for firefighters, budgeted by Fire Chief Greg Amburgey, was approved. The township is saving about $55,000 by contracting with the Pinckney Police Department instead of the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department next year. The budget reflects an estimated $10,000 reduction in state revenue-sharing funds from last year, due to a lagging state economy. Road construction will begin soon The approaches to Pingree, Hinchey and Cedar Lake roads in Putnam Township are being asphalted. Fifty-foot aprons for the three roads were approved by the township’s board of trustees on June 20. The work will cost the township approximately $18,000, said Supervisor Ron Rau.

Potential tenant eyes Hardy Airport Pinckney police to patrol Putnam Carrier looking to move from its site at Willow Run Airport BY TOM TOLEN News S ta f f Reporter A company that provides industrial, commercial and passenger air services out of Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti may relocate to the Livingston County Spencer J. Hardy Airport in Howell Township. If Construction Helicopters Inc. signs a 20-year lease agreement with Livingston County, it will build a 28,000- square-foot hangar on Bowen Road, at the northwest corner of the airport. The company employs 28 people, most of them skilled pilots and mechanics. “Many of them already live in (Livingston) County, and several others have plans to relocate,” airport manager Mark Johnson said in a recent memo to the Livingston County Board of Commissioners. Construction helicopters, established in 1980, provides aerial crane services using Sikorski twin turbine helicopters, which are capable of carrying loads of 4,600 pounds. The company has five helicopters and two airplanes. “We provide expedited cargo and passenger charter (service),” along with internal cargo and wildfire suppression throughout the United States and Canada, sajd President Chris Turner. The company also operates an avionics repair facility. According to Johnson, moving Construction Helicopters to Livingston County “will bring additional traffic to the airport as aircraft will come from other airports for radio and instrument repairs.” The company is moving from Willow Run Airport to another site because “we want to own our own facility,” Turner said. Johnson says the interest shown by the company is one reason why the airport recently completed a $34 million expansion and improvement project, including lengthening the runway, installing an Instrument Landing System and other upgrades. The ILS gives the airport the capability of handling air traffic in any kind of weather. “We wanted it more attractive for industrial and aviation development,” Johnson said. “It would be additional jobs, an additional tenant - that’s why we’re here,” Johnson said. Still, Turner was noncommittal about a decision to move to Livingston County. “Nothing has been decided,” he said. Turner said the company will make a decision by early July. According to Johnson, the area where the company wants to construct a hangar “was not expected to be developed as a part of the airport master plan” because it lacks a large area suitable for a building. Johnson said the reason the company desires the out-of-the-way site is because of the turbulence created by helicopters. A 20-year lease agreement with the company has been approved in committee and may go to the full Board of Commissioners for final action Monday. Johnson said the company would pay for all improvements, including the ramp and parking areas. If the company signs the lease, Johnson expects it would take about six months for the hangar to be constructed. The airport complex is home to a dozen small companies with about 65 employees. The airport itself has four employees, including Johnson. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009. Trustees approve 1-year deal while options are explored BY LEANNE SMITH News S t a f f R ep o r ter Patrols in Putnam Township will be handled by the Pinckney Police Department instead of the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department for the next year while officials survey residents and explore options for police services. The township’s Board of Trustees on June 21 approved a one-year contract not to exceed $72,924 with village police. A village officer and car will be dedicated to serving the township for 40 hours a week beginning Aug. 1. The township currently pays the sheriff’s department $128,000 for 48 hours of police coverage per week. Sheriff Bob Bezotte offered a 40-hour-per-week contract for $94,278, but Pinckney’s offer was better, said Supervisor Ron Rau. “We appreciate all the service the sheriff’s department has provided through the years, but we are trying to cut costs,” Rau said. “The main thing now is to find out what the people want in future police coverage.” Village and township officials hope to m eet sometime next month to discuss the possibility of a shared police force that would be financed by village and township residents through a special millage. The township plans to survey residents this summer, Rau said. “I think having a joint department would be in the | best interest of everyone,” Trustee Norm Klein said, referring to the fact that village residents also pay township taxes. “It would be the most cost-effective.” Pinckney Police Chief De- m nis Aseltine agrees it’s time ^ to consider a joint police department. “The township is getting to the point that having officers available 24 hours seven days a week is needed,” Aseltine said. In 2005, officials in Pinckney and Putnam and Unadilla townships discussed the possibility of creating a joint police authority, but the idea never got beyond the talking stage. The township’s new contract with Pinckney expires July 31, 2008. T O D A Y ’S A D V E R T IS E R S C O M l ^ N I T Y N E W S ABC Audit .............................

Now double that, triple that, and keep multiplying. That’s the sort of massive effort needed to clean and pack at Howell High School, something staff and students have been working on for months. The move is in its final throes this week. “Picture a house that has been lived in since the 1980s, and when people had originally moved in, they brought everything with them,” said assistant principal Mark Sharp, who has spearheaded the transition. The district is moving Howell High School to the Parker campus for the 2007- OS school year as it renovates the present high school. Work has already begun on the $13.4 million, 15-month renovation. Both high school projects were paid for by a P H O T O S : J A M I E C H A R B E N E A U - P I S E L L A .T H E L I V I N G S T O N C O M M U N I T Y N EW S Howell High School is moving to Parker campus for the 2007-08 school year as it renovates the present high school. Brighton's Taylor Moving Co. are the one's who are doing the move between schoois. voter-approved bond issue in 2003. Dozens of boxes color-coded by department are being moved to the Parker High School campus by Brighton’s Taylor Moving Co., including student records, garment bags with choir robes and many other items teachers need for this fall. Other large items, including furniture, are being stored on site in trailers at Howell High School while that school undergoes renovation. “It’s a humongous job,” said Brad Taylor, owner of Howell High School Assistant Principal Mark Sharp, right, works with Robert Bunnell of Brighton's Taylor Moving Co. Taylor Moving, which has approximately 10 workers in constant motion for eight to 10 hours daily to complete the move. He said coordinating with Clark Construction at both sites means they must remain flexible. “Things are changing hourly. We’ll get on task with one thing and switch gears to another,” he said. “It’s probably a bigger job than even the schools thought it would be.” Sharp, a Marion Township resident, was tapped because Dottle Wright, child development and health education teacher, is packing classroom materials for the move. of a special expertise: He has taught educational facilities planning at Eastern Michigan University. With encouragement and help from the school’s Environmental Club and a recent Michigan Green Schools designation. Sharp said the staff was encouraged to recycle. “Our mantra is, ‘No junk goes to Parker and no junk goes into a landfill,’” he said. “We just tried to make it a green move. Just cleaning house was a good thing. It helped to relieve the stress.” Using a free EPA recycling program, some 30 boxes of unused science and chemistry chemicals were recycled, as well as 5,000 textbooks - keeping them out of the waste stream and saving money for the district. “I knew if we had a theme and we could get the staff to buy into it, it would almost distract from the work,” he said. “We just kept the County wide school board votes for Menzel Whitmore Lake's ^ school chief will lead intermediate district BY LEANNE SMITH News S t a f f R ep o r ter Whitmore Lake Public Schools is losing its superintendent to the Livingston Educational Service Agency. Although it was divided at first, the intermediate school district’s Board of Education unanimously selected Scott Menzel on June 20 to replace outgoing Superintendent Sally Vaughn, who becomes the Michigan Department of Education’s chief academic ofiBcer this summer. Menzel’s hiring is contingent on successful contract negotiations and the board’s receipt of a satisfactory background check. Vaughn’s base salary is $130,289. “This is a tremendous opportunity to do really great things in Livingston County,” the 38-year-old Menzel said. “This is an opportunity to provide support to the local districts, as well as get more involved in education on a broader level.” Menzel, who earns $107,250 at Whitmore Lake and has just completed his fifth year in the 1,400-student district, and James Coolican, who lives in Ann Arbor and is the former superintendent of the 9,500-student Peninsula 'We had two excellent finalists capable of doing the job.' LuAnn Loy, vice president of the Livingston Educational Service Agency board School District in Gig Harbor, Wash., were the two finalists for the job. “We had two excellent finalists capable of doing the job,” said board Vice President LuAnn Loy. “The question was, which one better fit our organization and I think Scott does.” Secretary Harold Fryer also supported Menzel, but President Julie Hill and Treasurer Bill Manuel favored Coolican, a retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel who worked in education at the local and state level in Washington. “What it came down to for me was Jim’s depth and breadth of experience,” Hill said. “Scott has great talent, but I think he’d do better to get more experience as a superintendent of a bigger school district before he comes to an intermediate school district.” Trustee Gary Kaiser, who was still struggling with his choice coming into the meeting, cast the deciding vote for Menzel. Scott Menzel “I had to go with my gut, and I felt Scott was much more in tune with LESA and would listen to and work best with this board,” he said. Hill and Manuel agreed to switch their support to Menzel, saying the board needed to be unified in its selection. Menzel, who was also a finalist this year for superintendent of the Saginaw Intermediate School District, spent six years as an administrator in the Hillsdale Intermediate School District before coming to Whitmore Lake. He also has intermediate school district experience in Jackson County. Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ Hving5toncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011.

Students will move into flex schedules and a high-tech student store, and learn in real time to run a branch of the LOG Federal Credit Union. There has been no decision made on when the district will open both high schools. Officials have said they would like to open Parker High School in 2008 if finances allow. Despite some setbacks, including delays in getting water to Parker, “we’re 99.8 percent there,” Superintendent Chuck Breiner recently told the school board. Rick Terres, the associate superintendent for finance, said 90 percent of items - mainly furniture and other large pieces - from Howell High will be stored and reused in the school. This fall, some 50 students will remain at the Howell High School building in a renovated vocational technology wing, which will be the first area renovated, Breiner said. Ninth-graders will remain at the Freshman Campus in the coming year. Casey Hans can be reached at chans@ livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2005. 'It's a humongous job...

That’s important and makes for a happier family.” Braun has been caring for others ever since her high school days, when friends would gather at her home for popcorn and pizza. “Pizza was just making its entrance and there were no pizza places around so we made Chef Boy-Ar-Dee pizza,” Braun says. “Hamburgers were 15 cents at McDonald’s. We had one in East Lansing by Michigan State. That was it.” Braun has been a hometown girl since she came to Fowlerville with her parents in 1952. She was the baby in a family with three older brothers. She attended second grade at the school on Collins Street and joined the band to play clarinet in fifth grade. At age 10, she was an accomplished baton twirler and entertained at summer band concerts at Centennial Field. “Our neighborhood was important,” Braun says. “We didn’t have organized games. We made up our own. Our baseball team was our neighborhood. We got together every day. I had a horse and loved ice skating on the swamp pond. We rode bikes and didn’t have to worry about traffic.” Braun went to high school at the building that is now Munn Middle School, named for her homecoming date’s dad, who was the school superintendent at that time. “There were 63 in our class; we were close,” Braun says. “We had sock hops on Friday night. We had a wonderful time. School was our heartbeat. School was our lifeline and our connection when I was growing up.” Braun’s job at Fowlerville schools will be handled by Cris Stock, who has been working part-time in the district’s payroll department since 2005. Despite having Stock to rely on in the human resources department, Braun’s boss. Superintendent Ed Alverson, says he will miss her spirit. “She’s so much Fowlerville and Fowlerville schools,” Alverson says. “She really bleeds purple and gold. She is very C O U R T E S Y , F O W L E R V I L L E C O M M U N I T Y S C H O O L S C h a r lo t te Dawn (W y z l ic ) B rau n , r ig h t , 1963 Drum Majorette and Jim McNamara th e asst.

I love performing arts. I love vocal. I love dance. I love all of it.” PROCESS FROM A1 ARMS are fixed rates for 2 to 10 years ing a tough time because of the economy,” says Moir, who has worked in mortgage lending in Livingston County for the last 10 years. “A lot of people have adjustable- rate mortgages (ARMs), which don’t necessarily justify what they owe. They bought a home during the buying peak four or five years ago, and when they go to refinance, they owe more than their home is worth.” Moir says that the ARMs are fixed rates for two to 10 years and then the rate can be adjusted by 2 to 6 percentage points. The annual increase cannot be more than 2 points and the lifetime cap can’t exceed 6 percentage points. “Part of the problem is that it’s been easy to get a mortgage, and a lot of those lenders that made it so easy are no longer in business because of foreclosures,” says Moir. “Guidelines have changed, and it’s a lot harder on our end to get people a mortgage.” Once the four notices have appeared, the mortgage company sells the home at a sheriff’s auction, when an investor or the lender makes an offer to buy the property for the remaining balance of the mortgage, plus fees. In most cases, the homeowner still has six months to redeem the foreclosure. Sheriff’s auctions in Livingston County take place on Wednesdays from 10 to 11 a.m. at Livingston County Circuit Court, 204 S. Highlander Way in Howell. Deputy Kirk Gunning, who frequently attends the auctions, says that an average of three to five people usually show up, and most of the deeds end up being sent back to the bank, which means an average of 20-30 homes being sold back to the bank each week. “I’ve been doing this for three-and-a-half years,” says Gunning. “As deputies, we have to physically go out and tack a notice on the foreclosed home. I started out doing about seven a week, and now do as many as 40 a week.” = Rapids, Ml 48916 COMMUNITY NEWS Published each Friday.

People damage their credit, which limits their ability to borrow money in the future. These are things that nobody worries about in a booming economy when housing prices are rising.” Fbreclosures hurt market Wickham says there is a strong relationship between real estate sales in Livingston County and the current spate of foreclosures. “In years past, people made offers on homes 10 percent below list price,” says Wickham. “Now they’re being encouraged to make offers 25-30 percent below list cost. If you sell a $250,000 house for $200,000, that becomes comparable for other houses in the neighborhood and has a compounding effect” of driving down housing prices. Wickham advises that a house payment should be the equivalent of one week’s pay. Michael Galella is the senior vice president of Great Lakes Mortgage and Investments in Howell and owns Callaghan Realty Inc. That dual role allows him to work with people throughout the entire process of buying a house. He has also experienced the other side of foreclosures. People who might not have been able to afford a house in a given neighborhood can afford to purchase a house that has been foreclosed on. “I helped someone purchase a foreclosed house for $229,000 in a neighborhood where houses are worth about $300,000,” says Galella. “He J A M I E C H A R B E N E A U - P I S E L L A .T H E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N I T Y N EW S Tom Keough is a private investor from Howell who frequently goes to the Livingston County S h e r if f 's a u c t io n to buy foreclosed properties. did some work on it, and had it appraised at $295,000. I’m helping him refinance, and he’s taking cash out to pay the bills. He’s then going to put the house on the market to sell, and will get a fantastic rate of return if he sells it for $280,000, which is what the house next door sold for. He’ll make a $30,000 profit.” Tom Keough, a private investor from Howell, often comes to the Livingston County sheriff’s auction to look at foreclosed properties. He represents a broker, whom he would not name, and has been buying foreclosed properties in the county for the last five years. “There’s more to choose from now than there’s ever been,” says Keough. “Some properties aren't worth it, depending on how many mortgages there have been on them. Some are discounted and a decent deal, which is why I’m here. This has become my full-time job.” For retiree Dennis Schuldt of South Lyon, the real estate market has been a mbced blessing. Schuldt had renovated and sold two houses for nice profits when he decided to try it one more time a couple of years ago. He paid $60,000 cash for an abandoned house in Ypsilanti, took out a $160,000 loan at 9.5 percent, and put $120,000 into the renovation. Pleased with the results, he put the house on the market in January of 2006 for $198,000. Then he waited. And waited. Schuldt kept dropping the price. Then his wife lost her job. Finally, last December, he decided he could no longer afford the $2,000 monthly payments. A mortgage at a lower rate wasn’t possible. “I’d love to sell the thing,” he said of the 1,900-squarefoot home. “I don’t want to go through foreclosure. It’s a bad mark on me. And I don’t know what the banks are going to do with all these houses when they get them back.” The house was sold back to the lender at auction for $79,320, and Schuldt has six months to redeem the property. Market update June is National Home Ownership Month, traditionally a boom time for Michigan builders, but not this year, according to the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments. Although some builders say traffic in their model homes is up, early data from SEMCOG indicate 2007 will be slower than 2006. As of April 30, there were fewer than 100 single-family building permits in Livingston County, less than half the number for that time period during any of the past eight years. “It’s really a depression in residential housing construction,” says Dana Johnson, Comerica Bank’s chief economist. As a result, he says, home builders aren’t pursuing as many new projects, and they’re selling homes for thousands of dollars less. According to the Livingston County Association of Realtors, the median sales price for a house in the county in 2007 is $195,000 compared to a median price of $227,500 in 2006. Michelle Brant, executive director of the Livingston County Association of Realtors, says, “There are enough good deals on the market that people are able to purchase homes and are doing so. Home sales in April and May were steady, and I’m confident they’ll remain steady through the rest of the summer. I can’t say at this time whether the market has bottomed out, but I believe it is leveling out.” Brant says that the price range of homes with the strongest sales in the county are those between $200,000- $249,900 followed by those in the $150,000-$174,900 range.

Officials say the upgrades, which should be completed within the next year, will make the streets safer and pedestrian-friendly. The improvements include reconstruction of one block on each street, enhanced crosswalks and a small parking lot. The DDA, which approved the changes June 19, must get City Council approval before proceeding, said Administrator Dennis Whitney. Under the plan, West St. Paul Street, from West Grand River Avenue to West Street, and West Street, from West St. Paul Street to West Main Street, will become one-ways and feature diagonal parking. The change will increase the amount of onstreet spaces available to 25 from 17. “The DDA is listening to the merchants and doing ever5Ahing they can to make it easier (for drivers and pedestrians),” said Piet Lindhout of Lindhout Associates, the DDA’s architectural consultant. Lack of a traffic light at the West Grand River Avenue and St. Paul Street intersection makes getting onto westbound Grand River a dangerous maneuver, according to Brighton Police Chief Tom Wightman. He said the changes will make the street safer. Raised, lighted crosswalks will be installed next to the Yum Yum Tree and the former Beverly Rae’s. In addition, a traditional crosswalk will be installed at the corner of West and St. Paul for people using Mill Pond. The DDA will convert vacant, city-owned land into a 34-space parking lot to extend from behind AAA Muffler on Grand River to the Old Village Cemetery. Estimated price tags include $550,000 for reconstruction of St. Paul and West streets, $480,000 for the parking lot and $150,000 for the enhanced pedestrian crosswalks. Street work will also add brick pavers, benches, pedestrian lights and trees, Lindhout said.

Grand River - reopened Tuesday afternoon after being padlocked earlier in the day. “It was a misunderstanding between us and the Department of Treasury,” said a spokeswoman for Chris Angelosante, who owns both eateries. “It took us a couple of hours to clear it up and we re-opened,” she said. Earlier, signs posted in front of the restaurants said the properties were “under seizure ... by the Michigan Department of 'IVeasury.” Department spokesman Terry Stanton said he could not discuss the cases. “In general terms, there are two situations leading to seizure of property: Back tax liability or a state agency debt,” he said. “The state acts as a collection agency for other state departments, and it could be a DNR cleanup fee or something like that.” Angelosante, who also owns three restaurants in Milford, said it was a misunderstanding. “We have some tax issues that needed to be straightened out with the state due to some sloppy bookkeeping,” he said. Waitress Katie Spring, a Brighton resident, had come to Lu & Carl’s to check her work schedule. She was surprised to be greeted by a locked door and the notice. Chris Merucci of Green Oak 'Township, expected to eat lunch, but was surprised to see the eatery closed. “I come here three times a week,” he said. “The (closure) action doesn’t happen immediately,” Stanton said. “It is a lengthy process over a period of months. Our goal is to bring in whatever type of business they are in to compliance, and maintain that compliance into the future.” Brighton City Police Chief Tom Wightman said the city was not involved in any way. “It doesn’t involve any local tax issues,” Wightman said. Upon re-opening, the restaurants advertised half off the price on all drinks for the J A M I E C H A R B E N E A U - P I S E L L A .T H E L I V I N G S T O N C O M M U N I T Y N EW S S lo p p y b o o k k e e p in g is b e in g blamed for the tem p o ra ry closure of two high-profile restaurants In downtown Brighton Tuesday afternoon.

She and her husband, Bill Russell, joined forces with friends Joe Darwish and Joe and Andrew Perri to open the new ice cream emporium April 20. A grand opening celebration June 20 included a visit from the treatery’s 7-foot-tall spokescow. Miss Maggie Moo. “We selected this franchise because we like what they gave back to the community,” Veronica Russell said. Ice cream is served in many ways, including smoothies, shakes and sundaes, but the preferred serving style is mixed with your choice of mix-ins on the store’s frozen stone to keep it all from melting, then dished into a cone or waffle cup. The store offers a choice of 22 flavors at any one time, selected from nearly five dozen available. Five of Maggie Moo’s International’s flavors - vanilla. vanilla bean, chocolate, dark chocolate and strawberry - have earned Blue Ribbon Awards of Excellence for eight consecutive years from the National Ice Cream Retailers Association. The child-oriented store hands out stickers, tattoos and balloons to customers of a certain age, Veronica Russell said. Several tables afford a haven from the heat to help keep the ice cream from dripping down children’s hands and arms while parents get a “sit-down.” Address: 8160 Murphy Drive, Brighton.

The name says it all, except that this store for all kinds of batteries is located in Pinckney. Owners Thomas and Milte DeLaTorre carry automotive batteries, lithium and other photographic batteries, rechargeable batteries, batteries for cell phones, laptops, digital cameras, IPOds and, of course, plain old C and D cells and AA and AAA batteries. They like to say, “If it takes a battery, we’re gonna have it ... or get it for you.” The store also stocks a few automotive accessories, such as jumper cables. The brothers hope that their new store, which opened on June 7, may become the first of several in southeast Michigan. So far, Mike DeLaTorre said, the biggest challenge is just getting known. “A lot of people don’t know we’re here, yet, but we’re just getting our feet wet,” he said. The store also carries free watch replacement batteries. They let you use their tools to install the battery. If you require their help, there is a minimal ($4) charge for installation. A grand opening is upcoming, but no date is set yet. “We’ll probably have some special during our grand opening,” Mike DeLaTorre said. Why open a battery store? “Hardly anything doesn’t have a battery anymore,” he said, with a smile. Address: 1212 E. M-36, Pinckney. Phone: 734-878-9805.

New bank aiming for sense of community B Y TO M TO L E N News Staff Reporter The Livingston Community Bank will have a community flair when it opens this fall in Brighton. And bankers say they want the new facility to serve the entire county. Slated for the first floor of the Metropolitan Title Co. building at 131 N. First St., across from Lynn’s Cafe, the new bank will replace The State Bank, which is at 315 E. Grand River Ave. Fentura Financial, the holding company of The State Bank, purchased the Metropolitan Title Co. building and property at First and Cedar streets earlier this year. The title company will move to the second floor of the same building and lease it from the bank. Although part of The State Bank and Fentura Financial, the new bank will have autonomy with its own board of directors. This summer, workers will retrofit the first floor to accommodate the bank and construct a drive-through building with three lanes. While The State Bank was primarily a commercial lending institution, its successor will provide a full array of services. “This is what we had planned all along,” said Tom Bell, newly named president of The Livingston Community Bank. The financial institution will provide individual and commercial checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, home loans, institutional and investment banking, wealth management, financial planning and IRAs. Bell said The State Bank office will be closed when the new bank opens and its eight employees switched to the new location. Additional staff will be hired. Bell said customers of The State Bank will not be affected. “Even though we’re moving and changing our name, it will be business as usual,” he said. The nucleus of a board of directors already has been selected, including Chairman Ken Burchfield, a Brighton attorney; Pat Hanniford of the CPA firm Pfeffer, Hanniford & Palka; Fred Dillingham, executive director of the Livingston County Economic Development Council; Steve Krause, owner of Best Self Storage; and Bell. Burchfield said long-term plans include opening other branches in Livingston County- “Our impact’s going to be wide and not (just) southeast Livingston County,” Burchfield said. “We want to be broadly involved in the growth and business opportunities for entrepreneurs, homeowners and depositors who want a bank that they can take a local pride of ownership in.” Burchfield said The Livingston Community Bank will be the kind of hometown J A M I E C H A R B E N E A U - P I S E L L A .T H E L I V I N G S T O N C O M M U N I T Y N EW S Officials with the new Livingston Community Bank are, from left, Kenneth E. Burchfield, board chairman; Fred P. Dillingham, director; Thomas Bell, president; and Steven T. Krayse, director. Not pictured is Patrick M. Hanniford, director. bank people have missed with corporate mergers and takeovers. “One of the assets of a community bank is it is geared toward loans and depositors, who want to get back to personal banking, personal attention,” Burchfield said. “We’re going to be more involved in community events because we don’t answer to some board of directors on Wall Street or in the Netherlands.” Bell is high on the area’s growth potential, even in the difficult period for the state as a whole. “There (are) qualities inherent in Livingston County,” he said, “so we’ll expand on the momentum we’ve gathered and continue fueling the economic engine that Livingston County has become.” Plans are to start remodeling work in mid-July and open in October.

It is unclear whether a Kroger will stay at that site permanently. Denise Lutz, deputy of zoning for Hartland Township, said a much larger Kroger store is being considered for a development at M-59 and Pleasant Valley Road east of US-23. “Newberry Place is coming in for final approval, and a Kroger store is proposed for that development,” said Lutz. “We don’t know if the Kroger location at M-59 and Old US-23 will just be temporary until the other store would open.” F I L E J A M I E C H A R B E N E A U - P I S E L L A .T H E L I V I N G S T O N C O M M U N I T Y N EW S It was just four years ago when Farmer Jack opened this new store at the northwest corner of M-59 at Old US-23 in Hartland Township.

There is no date set at this time when a Kroger would open at Newberry Place. Cincinnati-based Kroger will hire 3,000 workers for the newly acquired Michigan stores, which also include locations in Northville, Birmingham, TYny and Dearborn.

Trustees Wendy Day and Phil Westmoreland both voted against his confirmation. But regardless of his vote, Westmoreland called for peace at the board table. Both challenged Miller during his interview June 19, with Day saying that he had attacked her on local Internet blogs and Westmoreland pointing to a letter that Miller had sent him regarding several challenged books used in the high school that asked him “not to think” but to listen to the teachers who recommended them. Miller has said he can work with the full board and that he L E T T E R S Immigration law change needed The United States is the best country in the world to live in and the illegal immigrants know it. The illegal men and pregnant women sneak across American borders to receive free hospital care. The babies are immediate American citizens and the parents start demanding rights. Canada had a severe illegals problem with Asian (Chinese) women sneaking across the border to have their babies. The government passed a law many years ago denying Canadian citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants. Why doesn’t our U.S. Congress pass such a law? We have the same problem. Beverly Chiasson, Green Oak Township Bush has brought positive growth George W. Bush has been President for the last six years and the March 2007 labor report showed more Americans working more hours at higher wages than ever before. Unemployment has fallen to 4.4 %. The average hourly wage has risen to $17.22 an hour. There are 10 million more people working today than five years ago. The growth impact of the 2003 tax cut is having its biggest effect years after enactment as the lower cost of capital works its way through small businesses and innovators. While the United States and Michigan urgently need spending reforms and tax reforms. The United States fiscal condition has substantially improved due to the economic growth. Democrats, Republicans and Independents should all praise and thank President Bush and the legislators that passed the tax reforms five years ago. Any politician that wants to go back to the bad old days and ruin our superpower growth engine by re-establishing the old harmful taxes should be recalled from office or opposed in any election.

Day, who operates a personal Internet site, warned Miller during his interview that “you are accountable for what you say” whether a public official or private resident. Day has been affiliated with the Livingston Organization for Values in Education, a conservative-values political action committee that supported her in 2006 when she won election to the board. In his blog postings, Miller has criticized Day and others in the group. He also was vocal in his opposition to the group as he answered board questions June 19. “On LOVE issues, don’t' expect an inch of common ground,” he told Day. “I would have to build bridges with the LOVE group, and I have no interest in doing that.” She said she voted against Miller on Monday night because she believed he was not the best candidate. Westmoreland challenged the board on Monday to set aside personal feelings and to not let feelings for or against the LOVE group get in the way of the board’s business. He asked members to “try to work it out for the Howell Public Schools. This constant back and forth is not doing our school district any good. I’m going to ask everyone’s help in stopping that pattern.” Outgoing TVustee Ted Parsons said, “the back and forth needs to stop, and we need to put our best foot forward.” It took the board four attempts June 19 before reaching a consensus to nominate Miller from among the 10 candidates for the seat, vacant because of the resignation of Jeanne Glum. The vote was taken on a written ballot using a points system, in which board members allocated five points to their top choice, three points to their second choice and one point to their third choice. Any candidate getting 18 or more points could be nominated for the seat; the person with the highest points was considered the nominee. According to vote tallies. Miller won the needed 18 points with five points from board members Sue Drazic, Mary Jo Dymond and Ted. Parsons, and three points from Jeannine Pratt. Parent and board watcher Kim Shumaker received 15 points in the final round. Pratt and Westmoreland each selected her as their top candidate, with five points. Day gave her three points, and Dymond and Parsons gave her one point each. Day’s top candidate through the voting was Bill Harvey, who came in third place in the May election and did not win a seat.

This allows homeowners to keep their landscaping looking good AND at the same time generate a donation for a local, non-profit organization. Mulch prices are as low as $24.00 per yard, free delivery included!

May try scrapbooking. ■ Favorite meal: Seafood. ■ R et irem en t plans: Some kind of volunteer service and escaping some of the Michigan winters in Florida. Early twist led Cowdrey to a rewarding career BY LEANNE SMITH News S ta f f Reporter Suzanne Cowdrey always thought she’d be a nurse, but volunteering at a Veteran’s Administration hospital in her hometown of Saginaw her senior year of high school changed that. “I couldn’t watch people suffer and not be able to do something to make them better,” she said. Instead, Cowdrey aimed toward a career where she could make a difference - education - and stayed with it for 40 years. She retired this month as principal of Pinckney’s St. Mary Catholic School. “I think I have made a difference in children’s lives, and that makes me feel good,” said Cowdrey, 62, of Hamburg Township. “I’ve always tried in my words and actions to help them, teach them and keep them safe.” Cowdrey joined St. Mary as a fourth-grade teacher in 'I think I have made a difference in children's lives, and that makes me feel good/ S u z a n n e C ow d re y , r e t ir in g p r in c ip a l 1993. She’s been the school’s principal since 2001 and is being succeeded by John Gilboe, who’s coming from All Saints Catholic School in Canton Township. “I love her fairness and consistency and sense of humor,” said Cheryl Houk, a current St. Mary fourthgrade teacher. “I admire her so much. She has great perseverance.” Cowdrey’s first job was teaching a class of 42 thirdgraders at Saginaw’s St. Helen School in 1967. “I didn’t think anything of it because I didn’t know anything else,” she said. “I look back now, especially at the number of papers I had to correct, and think, ‘how did JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELU.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Suzanne Cowdrey is retiring as principal of Pinckney's St. Mary Catholic School after a 40- year career in education. She joined the school as a fourth-grade teacher in 1993 and became principal in 2001. Cowdrey is in the center reading a book to a fourth-grade clas.s. I ever teach 42 kids in one class?”’ A product of Catholic schools, Cowdrey spent her entire career in parochial education. She and her husband Dick moved to Hamburg Township in 1990 when he became an assistant principal and athletic director in Pinckney. He retired from Pinckney Community Schools two years ago. She was a substitute teacher and a teacher’s aid at Brighton’s Hawkins Elementary School before joining St. Mary. “Mrs. Cowdrey has been a shining light to school families,” said Rob Bensinger, vice president of St. Mary’s Parent-Teacher Council. “Year after year, she has selflessly poured herself into her work, investing endless hours and supporting us at sporting events, meetings and programs. It’s difficult to say good-bye.” Saying good-bye to the students this summer also was difficult for Cowdrey, she said, but the impact may not arrive until this fall when everyone heads back to school and she doesn’t. To ease the transition, the Cowdreys are doing something they’ve never done before - take a fall vacation. “We’re going in October to Maine and Vermont and New Hampshire to see the fall color,” she said. “We’ve always talked about that, but never been able to do it.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. St. Mary priest leaves Pinckney for new parish with fond memories Coughlin doubled congregation in his 12-year tenure BY LEANNE SMITH News S t a f f R ep orter The high-fives he gave after mass last Sunday were bittersweet for the Rev. Ken Ken Coughlin ■ Age: 46. ■ Home: Formerly Pinckney, now Grand Blanc. ■ Family: The seventh son and 10th child of a family of 12 from Davison. ■ Occupation: Outgoing priest at St. Mary Catholic Church, Pinckney. ■ Education: Bachelor's degree in packaging engineering from Michigan State University. Master's degree in divinity from St. John Provincial Seminary, Plymouth. ■ Hobbies: Hunting, fishing, being outdoors, playing a little golf and spending time with family. ■ Quote: "St. Mary was my first pastorate. It will always have a special place in my heart." Coughlin and the young St. Mary Catholic Church parishioners who have looked forward to them for the last 12 years. They were his last, as Coughlin, a priest who said he always tries to be human and approachable and not high on a pedestal, left the Pinckney parish this week for a new assignment at Church of the Holy Family in Grand Blanc. “I leave here with a lot of sadness and a lot of tears,” said Coughlin, 46. “So many people here have touched my life.” Coughlin came to St. Mary in 1995 admittedly “green behind the ears.” His learning curve included moving the parish from downtown Pinckney to a new 68,000-squarefoot church and school on Dexter-Pinckney Road in Putnam Township in 2003. It was the first time any of the Lansing Diocese’s 95 parishes had relocated a church and school at the same time, he said. “I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get involved,” Coughlin said. During his tenure, St. Mary’s membership doubled to 1,100 families and its K- 8 school jumped from 165 students to about 210. Holy Family boasts 2,300 families and about 550 students in its school, and it too needs a new church building. “I’ll be back at it again,” After 12 years as its parish priest, the Rev. Ken Coughlin is leaving Pinckney's St. Mary Catholic Church for a new a ssignment in Genesee County. W h i le here, Coughlin, 46, supervised the moving of the church and school from downtown Pinckney to its new facility on Dexter-Pinckney Road in Putnam Township.

St. Mary helped knock all the rough edges off. It taught me how to shepherd, and my confidence has grown. I go there with everything the people here have given me.” Going back to Genesee County also is going home for Coughlin, who grew up in a large Irish Catholic family in Davison. “I’ll be 25 minutes from my parents, and they’re both getting up in years, so it will be nice to be able to spend more time with them,” he said. Coughlin has been ordained for 17 years. After high school, he spent time in southern Florida wiring condominiums for cable television and “sowing my wild oats and soaking up the sun on the weekends.” “Then I asked myself what did I want to do to make an impact on this world,” he said. “The answer was to change lives and not go out there and try and make big bucks.” Coughlin is spending 10 days in Ireland before heading to Holy Family to replace the Rev. Jim Swiat, who is retiring. The Rev. William Wegher is the new priest at St. Mary. “1 treasure the friendships I’ve made here,” Coughlin said. “The people have touched my life and supported my priesthood and allowed me to be involved in their lives, and I’ll always remember that.” Leanne Smith can be reached at ismith® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. 7 5 Y E A R S O F S E R V I N G Y O U !

Of course we can. Even if there’s not a threeday weekend involved, (can there be a five-day weekend?) it’s still the Fourth of July, after all, with parades and fireworks a plenty in the region. Just thinking about those traditional July 4 activities like picnics, family gatherings, baseball games, bike rides, parades, more food and fireworks put me a good mood. Check out the list of close-to-home Fourth fun on Page Bl. Cheers: To all the volunteers who help Michelle Tokan pull off the always-amazing Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell. The easy part is settling into a lawn chair and watching the balloons come to life. The hard part is taking care of all the logistics to make this annual event happen. Cheers: To high school athletes of all shapes, sizes and sports who have thrilled us during the past year from the football field to the pool. And an especially loud cheer for Whitmore Lake High’s Rachel Sawyer, who earlier this month was named our Scholar- Athlete of the Year. It’s tough enough being a good student or a good athlete. But she was able to blend both. I This fall she’s off to New York * University to study political science. Cheers: To Pinckney school officials for continuing to look for creative ways to save money and get things done. This summer, several closely ^ supervised Livingston County Jail inmates will clean and do maintenance work at the schools when there are no planned student activities. It’s a gutsy move, but worth a try. Cheers: To Catherine Capy for pursuing her goal of working with students who often are the ones left behind. She will leave the more upscale Howell district to work with a more urban population in the Muskegon area. It’s too bad. By all accounts she is a fine teacher who has made a strong connection with her students. She will be missed by Howell students, but I bet ^ she won’t miss the hassle H she’s gotten from some adults in the community. Cheers: To Fowlerville teacher Diane Bruetsch, tor winning honors as Livingston County’s Wal-Mart Teacher of Lthe Year. By all accounts, this dedicated educator goes the extra mile for her students, caring for them in and outside the classroom. Cheers: To those who continue to believe in downtown Brighton by investing the future of the business district. The newest restaurant to open is Stonefire Bistro and there are plans in the works a martini bar. And there is more in the works. All of this bodes well for a business district that faces stiff competition from new retail areas on the outskirts of town. Cheers: To the Brighton Masonic Lodge and other community groups who donated money allowing the Howell Area Fire Authority - and especially Capt. Mike Randall - to get a new arson investigation dog. Basko, a 13-monthold German shepherd, joined the department in the last few weeks. He replaces the muchloved Ashley, who was lost to a spinal cord injury in February. \ ^ a t a team.

Like mother, like daughter: Safety Town's a family matter In Brighton,the Monstrolas help teach kids the basics of safety BY U SA CAROLIN News S t a f f Rep o r ter If previous trends prevail, the county’s emergency dispatch center is currently experiencing an increase in 911 calls. It’s not because there are more emergencies in the summer, but because Safety Town is under way, and pre-kindergartners are learning all about emergency phone calls, ambulances, fire safety, and police services.

Brighton’s Safety Town, which takes place at Hilton Elementary School, Safety Town ■ What: A childhood safety education program. ■ Who: The program is designed for youngsters who will be kindergartners in the fall. ■ When: June 18-29, July 9-20, July 23-Aug. 3, 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-2:30 p.m. sessions. ■ Where: Hilton Elementary School, 9600 Hilton Road, Brighton Township. ■ Details: Go to www.brightonsafetytown. com or call 810-229-5730. was started in 1985 by Debbie Monstrola, who still helps run the program along with her daughter, Keri Monstrola, a senior at Central Michigan University who is studying child development. “Keri has many innovative ideas she runs by me,’’ says Debbie Monstrola. “My main concern is what are parents going to think. Keri knows the reputation of this program and how to protect it. Debbie Monstrola, right, started Brighton Safety Town 22 years ago, and now her daughter Keri Monstrola has taken it over as lead teacher. I’m very confident in her.’’ It was 22 years ago that Brighton had a program called Safety Street that was coming to an end just when Debbie Monstrola’s son, one of her three children, was old enough to take the course. She went to Chicago for a national meeting on Safety Town and started the program that summer in Brighton. “I was the president of a Parent Teacher Organization at the time and knew a lot of people in the community,” says Debbie Monstrola. “I got local businesses to give us money and purchased Big Wheel bikes. The General Motors Proving Grounds gave us seat belts for the bikes.” Since that first summer of Safety Town, Debbie Monstrola says that they have averaged 200-250 children in the program. Keri became director two years ago. “I’m going to school to become a kinder- S E E SAFETY, 85 Above: Keri Monstrola is securing a seat belt for Emily Graham of Brighton as she prepares to ride through the Safety Town.

Balloons bring color kaleidoscope Thrill of the annual Michigan Challenge event never grows old for visitors BY LAU R IE HUMPHREY News S t a f f R e p o r te r Warm weather and favorable flying conditions still have organizers of last weekend’s 23rd Annual Michigan Challenge Balloonfest elated. “The fact that the pilots were able to fly in all five scheduled launches was wonderful,” said Michigan Challenge Director, Michelle Tokan. “It doesn’t always happen like that.” While attendance numbers In the carnival area, Lydia Bolen, 3, of Pinckney enjoys a butterfly fry. have yet to be tallied, Tokan deemed the event successful and credited community and business partners, as well as countless committee members and volunteers. Fifty-six hot air balloon pilots entertained the masses at the Howell High School campus Jime 22-24, and some competed for first, second and third places in the bean bag challenge (they drop bean bags at ground targets, earning points for proximity). For W W l many balloonists, it was a retium visit. Bill Baker, piloting the No. 18 Flat Earth balloon out of Dallas, Texas, was the 2004 Balloonfest Champion. He keeps coming back because he enjoys to fly, he flies for hire, and is also looking forward to the perks of his new corporate (Flat Earth foods) sponsor. “I’m addicted to food," he joked, “and this food not only tastes good, but it is good for you.” Most of the crowd centered around the balloon laimch area, even hours before the scheduled lift off. Some picnicked on their blankets awaiting the launch, while others marked their spots with chairs, then ventured off to the art fair, carnival area or medieval village. Ralph and Melissa Bolen of Pinckney brought their 3- year-old daughter Lydia to the Balloonfest this year for the first time. “She’s probably old enough to appreciate it now,” Ralph explained. After hitting a few of the carnival rides, the family planned to get seats in the launch area, with enough distance so that Lydia didn’t notice people fly these balloons, not the Jim Henson’s Muppet characters similar to those in her favorite video. Natalie Shefferly, who came to the festival with her mom and Hartland grandparents, had not made it to the balloon area yet as she posed for a caricature sketch, but her mom couldn’t wait to show Natalie real hot air balloons, which can fly upward of 1,000 feet into the air. The family was brought to the festival by a newspaper article, coupled with the fact that “Natalie just loves balloons,” said Shannon Shefferly. Mikey Kraft of Howell, is a Balloonfest regular. This year, she brought her two chil^en, a 16-year-old son “who is off At the Art Fair, Chris LaPorte from Grand Rapids, draws a caricature portrait of Natalie Shefferly. socializing,” and Spencer, 6. He was playing carnival games, and doing well, said his mother showing off his prizes. “We always make a day of it,” she said. For the Eifrid family, Balloonfest is fast becoming an armual event. “This is our second year,” said Cathy Eifrid, of Webberville. Accompanied by her husband, Don, and two children, Ava, 5 and Lex, 3, she said they always enjoy the art fair and the food, but the highlight is the balloon launch. 2 0 0 7 Michigan Challenge winners ■ First place: Je ff Pestun, Zeeland, Mich., sponsored by Sprint. ■ Second place: Phil Glebe, Howell, Mich., sponsored by WHMI radio. ■ Third place: Jim Birk, Defiance., Ohio, sponsored by Cleary University.

BY JA M IE CHARB ENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 2007 Lakelands Trail now open to the public Tunnel built under M-36 for safer use by area residents BY GORDIE TAYLOR News S ta f f Reporter After four years of planning and construction, the new and improved Lakelands Trail was officially opened to the public last weekend. The portion of the trail that lies in Hamburg Township was paved and a tunnel was built under a segment of M-36 to make biking, running and in-line skating safer for area residents. The process of paving the trail wasn’t easy, as Hamburg Township faced hurdles trying to secure permission to pave in-stateprotected wetland areas. Despite the struggles, Hamburg Township Supervisor Cindy Pine said she was glad to see the project turn out so well. “There were a few times I questioned if it was going to happen, but everybody gave a little bit to make it hap- Bike riders came out by the dozens to celebrate the official opening of the new and improved Lakelands Trail on Saturday. 'We've had lots of good response. I'd say that since we paved, the ridership of the trail has quadrupled.' J o h n C a lve rt, p re s id e n t o f Frie nd s o f th e L a k e la n d sT ra il pen,” she said. The Friends of The Lakelands Trail also will receive a $3,000 per year state grant to help with trail maintenance. Friends President John Calvert said he was proud of the work done for the trail. “It feels great,” said Calvert. “We’ve been working hard and pushing through the hurdles.” Calvert was also pleased to see the support shown at the opening ceremony. “We’ve had lots of good response,” he said. “I’d say that since we paved, the ridership of the trail has quadrupled.” PHOTOS:GOBDIE TAYLOR,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Eleven-year-old Ja co b Gettle of Pinckney, left, rides his decorated scooter down the Lakelands Trail with his mother Jill, and younger brother C.J. during Saturday's festivities in Hamburg Township. The opening ceremony featured a live band and several local businesses set up booths along the trail to greet community members as they rode by on colorfully decorated bikes, scooters, and wheelchairs, creating a carnival-like atmosphere. Jill Gettle of Pinckney was one of the dozens of people in attendance and was joined by her two sons, 11-year-old Jacob and 7- year-old C.J. “We love it,” Gettle said of the trail improvements. “We live on a dirt road, so having this to come to is wonder- A p p l i c a t i o n s a r e n o w b e i n g a c c e p t e d f o r L e a d e r s h i p L i v i n g s t o n p r o g r a m BY GORDIE TAYLOR News Staff Reporter Applications for the 2007-08 Leadership Livingston program are now being accepted. Leadership Livingston is a program that aims to educate community members on social and economic issues in Livingston County. The nine-month program, sponsored by Cleaiy University, meets on the third Friday of each month from September to May. Janet Filip, program director of Leadership Livingston, sees the program as a great resource for people in Livingston County. “The program is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of our county and identify how people can get involved to make sure Livingston County remains a thriving community.” A unique draw to the program is that participants don’t just sit in a classroom. “We take them to every part of the Leadership Livingston ■ When: September- May, third Friday of each month. ■ Contact: Program Director Janet Filip, Cleary University, 517- 548-3670. ■ Web: W W W . leadershiplivingston.org. community, from being a jury in teen court to visiting schools, meeting government representatives, and going on police ride-alongs,” said Filip. The police ride-along, a part of the judicial system county tour, was a favorite of Hartland school board President Eileen Jankowski. “It was fun being in someone else’s shoes for a day,” said Jankowski. The program also has participants divide into small groups and complete community service projects at the end of the class. Last year’s class did marketing work with the Howell Opera House, the ACE Program, and LACASA for that agency’s multiple service projects. Jankowski said the experience with Leadership Livingston was very valuable. “It gives you a different perspective on other people in the community You realize there are a whole lot of needs that aren’t being met.” Paul Jakobus, a commercial underwriter for Key Bank, was another participant who learned a lot from Leadership Livingston. “It was pretty eyeopening,” said Jakobus. “The network opportunities I gained were very valuable for my community service goals.” Filip encourages anyone interested to check out the program. “Whether they’ve just moved or been here 30 years, everyone comes out with a broader understanding of the community.” G O V E R N M E N T M E E T IN G S M O N D A Y J U L Y 2 LIVINGSTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 7:30 p.m. C om m is s io n e rs ' C h am b e rs A dm in is tra tio n B u ild in g , 304 E .G ran d River Ave., H ow e ll.

Main Street, Brighton Main Teiephone: (810) 844-2000 B4 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 2 9 , 2 0 0 7 BrafgTLTiTJLIf - Young inventors take things apart to turn them into other things Camp Invention inspires creativity BY LISA CAROLIN News Sta f f Reporter If the next big seller in the world of technology is a “comoke,” you’ll have three local 10-year-olds to thank. Riley McMahon, C.J. Leclair, and Connor Gordon are friends who attended Camp Invention at Hornung Elementary School in Brighton last week and created the gadget. “It’s a karaoke machine and a computer all in one that I’m building with my friends Riley and C.J.,” said Connor. “It took a lot of time to take apart the computer we’re using. We’ve had a lot of fun doing it.” “I like taking stuff apart, especially this old computer,” said C.J. “It surprised me there was no chip,” said Riley. Hornung’s multipurpose room looked like a recycling center. It was filled with old appliances, telephones, computers and VCRs that were donated by parents to be taken apart and used to inspire the young inventors. Sam Williamson,8, left, and Tyler Hetowski, 9, search through the collection of donated appliances and other items that filled the multi-purpose room at Brighton's Hornung Elementary School, the site of Camp Invention. Joe Spitler brought in a label machine to use in his creation. “I took apart the label machine and am turning it into a small remote-controlled plane,” he said. “My mom gave me this heart monitor from her hospital because it didn’t work anymore,” said 9-year-old Alexander Thomas. “I’m turning it into a video-gaming system and advancing the power. Maybe I can upgrade our computer at home.” The weeklong camp made its debut in Livingston County last week. It will not be offered in the county again this summer but will be offered in adjacent counties. The Web site is www.campinvention.org. Staff members at Hornung Elementary School ran the camp with help from parents, high school and middle school students. First- through sixthgraders, 109 in number, attended. “The kids have really had a great time,” said Hornung teacher Sophia Garner who also directed the camp. “It’s getting kids excited about different scientific things like problem-solving and developing their critical thinking. They get to work with their hands and work in groups. It’s 'It's getting kids excited about different scientific things like problemsolving...' S o p h ia Garner, c am p d ire c to r fun to help them create their dreams.” Campers were divided by age and rotated among five rooms: The “I Can Invent” room, the “Take Apart” room, the “Imagination Point” room where campers designed roller coasters, the “Problem Solving on Planet Zak” room where campers designed devices to get off the planet, and the “Spills and Chills” room where campers designed safer automobiles using popside sticks and egg crates on wheels and testing them with raw eggs - 22 dozen of them. Camper Brett Hudecek suggested creating air bags for the vehicles, and MacKenna Crossley thought of using cotton balls. Teacher Dawn Foltyn challenged the campers to predict Trevor Allen, 7, left, tests the safety of the vehicle he created In the Spills and Chills room, while Tatum MoleskI, 9, below, creates an amusement park ride.These were just a few of the projects generated at last week's Camp Invention, at Brighton's Hornung Elementary School.

Cooke resigned from his position because he is moving from the township to Brighton, Along with all the work he led to develop youth recreation facilities and programs at Manly W.

SAFETY F R O M B1 Safety classes will carry on ► garten teacher,” says Keri Monstrola. “It’s an area I do well in and love the little ones.” Keri Monstrola, who graduated from Brighton High School in 2003, started volunteering with the local Safety Town when she was in middle school, sometjiing middle school students still do. “Having the middle schoolers means extra hands, extra eyes and extra help,” says Keri Monstrola. “The teens work directly with the kids, and by the end of the two weeks, the kids get very attached to the teens.” Kourtney Lavzon, 12, and Avery Murdock, 11, both students at Maltby Middle School, have been volunteering this year. “I love little kids and helping and thought this would be fun,” says Kourtney. “My little brother’s in Safety Town, and I thought he’d like it a lot if I was here too,” says Avery. Her 5-year-old brother, Nolan Chwalek, along with three other 5-year-olds, David Deaton, Jonah Ward, and Theodore Drabing, were all in a group supervised by Avery and Kourtney. “I want to see the police car,” says an excited David. All four boys shared an inte re st in becoming a police officer as well as in becoming Spiderman. Safety Town is an independent program open to anyone. Keri Monstrola says children come from all over the county and beyond to participate. “The community support from the police and fire departments is what kids en- Safety Town is the early childhood safety education program for children who will be in kindergarten in the fall. joy, and that’s what keeps us running,” she says. “We also teach bus safety, and paramedics come and talk too,” says Debbie Monstrola. “The summer before kindergarten is a time when parents are starting to let go of kids a bit. When a uniformed officer stands in front of them and tells them somethiqg, the kids are glued to them and you know they’re listening.” Has Debbie Monstrola seen a change in the children who attend Safety Town in these 22 years? “Kids are now exposed to more, in part thanks to nursery schools,” says Debbie Monstrola. “Safety Town also teaches them the rules of being in class, like being courteous when presenters are here, and learning to respect and not to be scared of police and firefighters.” L i s a C a r o l i n c a n b e r e a c h e d a t l c a r o l i n @ l i v i n g s t o n c o m m u n i t y n e w s . c o m o r a t 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 0 . 2 0 0 7 W h i t m o r e L a k e H f h o f J u l y C e l e b r a t i o n Thursday, June Z8, 2001 W h itm o re L ake W a te r Ski Team P r e s e n ts 'G r e a s e on S k is r H e lp th e t e am c e le b r a t e th e c lu b 's 5 0 th a n n iv e r s a r y !

An enduring American institution, the Red Cross is dedicated to helping people in need, one by one, every day, in communities across the nation. It's Local ^ Nowhere is the work of the Red Cross more compelling than right here in our communityaround the corner, next door or right at home. Governed and facilitated primarily through volunteer efforts, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of house fires and other disasters, provides lifesaving blood to area hospitals, trains people in CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation), first aid, AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and water safety, provides emergency communication between families here^at home and their loved ones serving in the military, and provides training and support to our local youth through the Youth Step Up program. Giving Back to the Community Today, traditional sources of funding for Red Cross humanitarian services are diminishing. At the same time, the need for and the cost of these services are growing rapidly. Now, more than ever, we must rely on the community to help meet today's emergencies and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow. Economic realities of the financial climate affect the Red Cross as they do every home and every business. Through a comprehensive strategic planning process, we have responded to these realities by cutting costs and squeezing every bit of service out of the contributions entrusted to us. Yet, we are projecting a growing gap between the cost of providing vital services and the available funds to meet the increasing cost of service delivery. Our goal is to involve you as a partner with the American Red Cross serving the Livingston County area. To join hands with us, because, by working together, we will meet the needs of people—young and old, living and/or working in our neighborhoods.

The May 5th Boogie Woogie Bugle Ball brought in over $34,000 gross to the Chapter which was approximately $8,000 over the previous year's event! Over 300 people stepped back to the 40's, enjoying the music of the Johnny Knorr Orchestra as well as tours of the B-17. It was a Boogie Woogie Good Time! This year's bi-annual Ride for Red was held on Sunday, June 10th beginning at the Livingston County East Complex and ending at the American Legion Hall in Howell. Over 100 bikers participated in this year's ride. Blues singer Kelly Richey entertained guests and volunteers with her incredible blues music. The ride grossed over $14,000 for chapter programs. "This was the biggest and best ride ever," stated Colleen Brothers. "We had top notch entertainment and the bikers who attended were wonderful... and a big Red Cross salute to the Red Cross volunteers and emergency responders who helped us with the ride!" Thank you to the many wonderful, dedicated volunteers who helped at both events.

This county-wide event, now in its 10th year, allows participating elementary and middle school kids to help the Livingston County Red Cross by collecting donated change in "penny jars." Over the years, the Penny Drive has paid for an Emergency Response Vehicle and its supplies, comfort kits, food, shelter, and even teddy bears for disaster victims. This year's Penny Drive raised over $12,000.

Finding a worthy cause that is exciting to a teen who loves sports, like Mark Jr., can be a challenge. Especially for someone on crutches. Playing goalie on a spring travel soccer team, he broke his ankle in two places, forcing surgery May 9. The sophomore-to-be at Brighton High School still found his calling at The Mir- 1^ acle League of Michigan, a Southfield-based charity that allows children with any physical or mental disability to play baseball. Hobbling on crutches at several games in June, Mark r Binkley Jr. says, “I fit in a little better.” The three Binkleys plan to devote more Saturdays to the league this summer. Their early experiences left a lasting impression. “It was a good feeling,” Mark Binkley Jr. says. “I know how much I love sports. That they are not able to enjoy them is heartbreaking. I’m glad I could help.” The baseball games don’t determine winners and losers. There are no outs. Only laughs and smiles. Everybody bats. Everybody rounds the bases. The custom-designed venue called Wal-Mart Field incorporates a cushioned synthetic turf that accommodates wheelchairs and other walking assistance devices, while helping prevent injuries. ^ Barb Binkley and her old- * est son both serve as player buddies, assisting however necessary. Players in wheelchairs need the ball to be picked up and handed to them while fielding. Others need assistance swinging a bat. Those without motorized wheelchairs get a push around the base paths. Mark Binkley Jr. was recently paired with a family friend. Ana Schneider, a 7-year-old from Tyrone Township with cerebral palsy. “With Mark being in a cast, that was kind of him, being out there in 90-degree heat,” says Ana’s mom, D’Ann Schneider. “Ana really enjoys it. K It is a real special game. The • people there are amazing. She looks forward to it every year.” D’Ann Schneider says her daughter loves to round the I bases as the last batter, when I the entire team gathers at P home plate to celebrate the inning. “There is nothing like doing this,” Barb BinUey says. “We watched Ana, in her motorized wheelchair and bright pink batting helmet, and saw the smile on her face. It was phenomenal.” There are at least a halfdozen families from Livingston County who have children who play in the league, which continues to grow in its fourth year in Michigan. This season, it expanded to accommodate adults with disabilities. Visit www.MichiganMiracle. org for more information on volunteering. 1^ “I think God watches the ™ game and smiles and says ‘Finally, they (people) got something right,”’ D’Ann Schneider says. “It’s not just the kids playing. It’s the people involved. In the world, you rsee a lot of ugliness. These games, you see the beauty inside of people.” J a s o n D e e g a n c a n b e r e a c h e d a t j d e e g a n ® l i v i n g s t o n c o m m u n i t y n e w s . c o m o r a t 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 2 .

GORDIE TAYLOR,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS P in c k n e y re s id e n t Nicole Goudie, a first-year member of the B r ig hton chapter of th e W o lv e r in e Horse shoe P itchers Association, lines up her next pitch on a recent nig h t at S c ran to n M id d le School in Brighton. Her whole family participates. Brighton club makes pitch for family fun BY GORDIE TAYLOR News S ta f f Reporter Whoever said throwing horseshoes was just a lazy backyard game hasn’t seen the Brighton Horseshoe Club. Nestled in the front yard of Scranton Middle School, members of the Brighton chapter of the Wolverine State Horseshoe Pitchers Association have been pitching shoes every Tuesday evening since 1995. Players pitch 40 shoes per game, and use a handicap system for scoring. “We have two people pitching and one person scoring each match, and we keep stats to calculate handicaps,” explains Paul Bachelor, club secretary. Dennis Lange, a Pinckney resident and club member since 1995, sees the handicapping system as a way to prompt participation. “With the handicap, everyone has a chance to be competitive,” he says. While competition is fun for Lange, he believes pitching shoes is all about having a good time. “It’s a good game, and it’s a good thing for a family to enjoy,” he adds. Nicole (Joudie, a firstyear club member from Pinckney, joined the club because of the fun she had pitching shoes with her family. “We’ve been throwing for years in our yard, and thought we’d give it a shot,” she says. Goudie and her husband participate in the club, along with their middle-school son. “It’s a nice release,” Goudie says. “It shifts my focus away from my daily activities.” Along with being a getaway for participants, throwing horseshoes also can be a great aerobic workout. “It’s good exercise,” says Steve Summerlin, club president who also is a regional director for the WSHPA. “You’re constantly walking back and forth, throwing shoes, bending over to pick them up. It’s a lot of work.” Summerlin also says that in the course of a 15-game tournament, participants could find themselves walking up to 5.5 miles total. The Brighton Horseshoe Club hosts four to six tournaments per year, and has its biggest event, the annual Fourth of July Horseshoe Tournament, coming up June 30. “We usually have enough participants to fill all of our courts up,” says Summerlin. “People bring their RVs out, (to) hang out.

'Grease' and water d o mix Whitmore Lake Ski Club to perform musical in July BY JASON DEEGAN News S t a f f Rep o r ter embers of The Whitmore Lake Ski Club wanted to do something special for the club’s 50th anniversary. They went back to their roots - 1957 - to find it. Members have been practicing diligently in the last month preparing a family-friendly version of “Grease” for their annual summer show. “It’s been challenging and fun,” says Whitmore Lake’s Carol Rowe, the show director who will also play the role of Sandy. “All of us have been fans of the 1950s fashion, with the poodle skirts. Everybody loves the music of Grease.” The shows will be at 5 p.m. July 1; 3 p.m. July 4 and 7 p.m. Thursdays in July. Spectators can park at the post office in downtown Whitmore Lake and sit on the open lawn off of Main Street. At a recent practice, club mem- Carol Rowe, will perform as S a n d y , w h ile Zack A l le n , w i l l play Danny. Brandi Preston performs a jump w h ile pract icing for the annual W h itm o re Lake W a te r Ski Club show. This year's Ju n e 20 show, set to the musical "Gre a se ," will feature performances in and out of the water. 'We are the oldest club in Michigan.' C hris B e lis a r io .c lu b m em b e r bers were busy on land and water. Brandi Preston, 17, of Salem Township, successfully lands several jumps off the ramp in the middle of the lake. “Since she went to Florida (for training), she lands about every one,” says her mom, Pam Preston, the club’s membership director. Away from the dock, Nickie and Shawna Becker and Anthony Runkle, all of Whitmore Lake, sing backup as John Travolta, er, Zack Allen, belts out the words of the song, “Oh Sandy.” Later, the foursome grooves, rocking out with hand motions, to the high-energy of “Greased Lightnin’.” Allen, 17, who lives in Green Oak Township, is no stranger to performing. He acted in nine shows before graduating from South Lyon High School in June. “I thought I had retired,” he says. “I love the show “Grease.” I’m enjoying the part. It’s fun to meet new people.” Combining water skiing with the actors on land into a single script requires some coordination. Rowe says the show will feature 12 actors, up from five in last year’s pirate-themed show. The club hopes to run two boats, with a number of skiers showcasing their skills. “For amateurs, we have some really good skiers,” says show director Joy Smith of Whitmore Lake. “We have some new skiers, too.” Club organizers hope the show helps recruit some new talent. The club’s membership continues to get younger every year. Smith says, and includes just a handful of guys. “We are the oldest club in Michigan. It is pretty exciting to have lasted that long,” says member Chris Belisario. “Like any organization, there are peaks and valleys, ebbs and flows. Some years things go great.

Bukovina, 38, a Howell resident, doesn’t mind punishing herself for a good rush now and then. She’s a dental hygienist by day and a competitive adventure racer on nights and weekends. She’s an admitted adrenaline junkie who flies airplanes and rides a motorcycle. She recently helped her four-person team finish 16th in the 2007 Michigan expedition Adventure Race, a fourday, 300-mile trek through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula May 27-June 2. It featured fixed ropes, orienteering, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking and more. “She’s unbelievable,” says Brad Hagen, of Howell, who regularly trains with Bukovina. “She’s all endurance, all strength. She just rarely tires.” Bukovina says the saddle sores and blisters on her feet from mountain biking over rocky terrain on Drummond Island are now just starting to subside. “I still can’t feel my toes,” she says. “’Why do we do this? It is organized insanity. It is crazy to do this. It proves you’re tough, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.” Her fondest memory of the event is kayaking at 1 a.m. on Lake Huron. “It was as smooth as glass,” she recalls.

'Our biggest rule is just to have fun/ Steve S u m m e r lin ,c lu b p re s id e n t RACER FROM C l Exposure for adventure racing sought Bukovina, a three-sport athlete growing up in Ohio and a cheerleader at West Virginia University, traded in competitive mountain biking for adventure racing four years ago. “I love the versatility of it,” she says. “I love to paddle and pedal. I love the ruggedness. You really have got to dig deep.” Like the time she severely sprained her ankle four hours into the Adventure Rage, her first 30-hour race in northern Michigan several years ago, but still managed to help her team place second. “My foot swelled up so bad I couldn’t take my shoe off,” she says. Hagen says Bukovina was a leader of their co-ed team at Primal Quest, a 10-day adventure race, in Utah in the spring of 2006. She estimates she slept just 17 hours in the 10 days. “She was the first one up (after resting) to push us,” Hagen says. Bukovina is back training again, backpacking and riding her bike through the Brighton State Recreation Area and working out at the Sports Lab in Brighton. She would love to do Primal Quest again in 2008 but would like sponsors to help with costs. She hopes to bring the sport more exposure, which could, in turn, land more corporate funding. “It is expensive to do,” she says. “People marvel at people who do Ironmans (triathlons) and marathons. That is just one element of what we do. We do 350 miles, including 70 miles of a mountain bike. There is nothing to doing an Ironman or triathlon. You have people telling you where to go.” Howell resident Cally Bukovina poses with her adventure racing gear — including a helmet, paddle and a mountain climbing harness — before a recent workout at Brighton State Recreation Area. Bukovina recently completed a 4-day, 300-mile race in the Upper Peninsuia. PHOTOS; JASON DEEGAN.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS S e e H o w W e S t a c k U p !

Tiny fairies hide among miniature plapts in a children’s gar- Visitors to the Heavenly Scent Herb Farm can shop for homegrown herbs, craft items and more inside the restored historic barn. Kathy and Steve Matthews started the business foilowing years of selling like items at locai craft and art shows. A whimsical frog stays cool under a garden stream. An angel sprawls in the shade of an arborvitae. But the biggest delights at the former dairy farm in Tyrone Township are visiting the specialty home and garden store in the restored, historic barn and spending time in the summer gardens, which are bright with color and scent. Jennifer Bongioranni happened upon Heavenly Scent one recent morning and visited the herb nursery. “This is my first time here,” said the amateur gardener who already boasts a variety of herbs in her home garden, including cilantro, chives, lavender, basil, thyme and rosemary. “I need to come back and bring my mom and my cousins. There’s beautiful stuff here.” Kathy and Steve Mathews developed the business on their property 18 years ago after Kathy, who had studied to be a physical education teacher, discovered the joy of herbs and started making wreaths and other items. After selling items at local craft and art shows for several years, the couple started a small business. “I was into sports, volleyball, basketball and track - who knew?” Kathy Mathews said of her foray into business. “You think you know where you’re headed in life, and here we are.” Today, they have five employees. Either Kathy or Steve work most days. Their son, Jason, 25, was recently married with a reception at the site. He also designs their Web site: www.heavenlyscentherbfarm. com. This year, they completed a 20-footby- 20-foot gazebo and water features for special events and have plans in the works for the “Savory Thymes Cafe,” which will be on the barn’s lower level where the family cook, Steve, will be head chef. Heavenly Scent draws customers not only from Livingston and Genesee counties, but from the entire region. The Livingston County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau touts it on its “Heavenly Scent and Hell Bound” group tour which travels from Heavenly Scent down to Hell.

Julie Hall was terminated June 22 after serving four years as director of SELCRA, a nonprofit agency that provides athletic and recreational programs in southeastern Livingston County. Hall’s annual salary was $61,000 at the time she left. SELCRA Board Chairwoman Kim Tobin said Hall established programs and made better use of computer technology, but was deficient in communication skills. “She did a fantastic job in putting the process together, especially when we were stepping away from the Brighton School District (of which SELCRA formerly was a part),” said Tobin, citing Halt’s skills in putting together a Web site (www.selcra. com) and initiating online registration. “It’s just that a couple of the people sWlls were lacking.” Tobin said that Hall had “good, but not excellent,” reviews, and areas where she was cited as needing improvement were “community relations and grants.” Hall, reached at her Ann Arbor home, had no comment. Tobin said Hall had a poor relationship with Brighton Area Schools Community Education, which is located next to the SELCRA offices and with school district administration. “I give that (SELCRA) board a ton of credit for making a courageous decision that the person they had in place was not the one they need to take them to the next level,” said Brighton Community Education Director Ann Rennie. “We’ve heard from the community of the need to communicate with the clubs and associations we work with,” Tobin said. “Some relationships were falling apart.” Tobin said another factor in Hall’s dismissal was the loss of several employees. “We’ve had eight good, quality people leave in the last year, and in the last month, we’ve lost two managers,” she said. “We just couldn’t afford to lose any more people.” Hall has a firm supporter in former Brighton school board member Miles Vieau, who was on the SELCRA board for several years. “It was a little political,” Vieau said. Vieau called Hall a “straight shooter,” something he said didn’t sit well with everyone. Tobin is optimistic about the direction SELCRA is taking. “We’re going to get back to basics,” Tobin said. “It’s just something I feel passionate about.” Tobin said SELCRA has about 200 programs, with 8,300 children and adults participating annually - about 1,000 children in the youth soccer program alone. The agency has five full-time employees, not including the director, and about 150 part-time employees - mostly umpires, referees and other helpers. The director’s position, which has a base salary of $50,000, is posted internally at the SELCRA office at Brighton High School and on the Michigan and national recreation sites. The board has S EE SELCRA, A2 _ I • w w w .m liv e .c om i f iY r ) County recreation group seeks new leadership B o a r d o p t i n g f o r 'b a c k - t o - b a s i c s ' a p p r o a c h Imagination Engines might move its HQ to Brighton area S t.

A separate manufacturing facility is also possible for the central Michigan town of Evart. “They are absolutely serious about coming here; that’s why they came (to Lansing on June 20) to make a presentation,” says state Sen. Valde Garcia, R-Mariop Township, who helped arrange the meeting. “They want to locate their headquarters here (in the Brighton area) because of the engineering know-how Michigan has,” Garcia says. The company makes use of artificial intelligence, used in a wide variety of applications, including military technology. The company is involved in homeland security, law enforcement, public alert, public health and related areas. Customers include NASA, the U.S. Air Force, the Transportation Security Administration, General Electric, Rolls Royce, Ladish, Briggs and Stratton, Akamai Physics and Raytheon Co. and automotive suppliers. “This is a realm with applications far beyond what is known,” says Garcia. “It’s something we would love to have,” says Pam McConeghy, executive director of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce. “This company would be a platform for other companies, and other companies would spin off in many different areas,” McConeghy says. “We will do everything in our power to bring (the company) to Brighton,” McConeghy adds. The company could provide no figures on potential employment in Brighton or the possible Evart facility if the company relocates to Michigan. “Imagination Engines Inc. looks forward to the potential expansion in Michigan ... in a variety of sectors, including the added support relationships with suppliers and vendors,” company spokesman Dean Vieau says in a prepared statement. Vieau is the cousin of Brighton-area business owner Miles Vieau, and lives in the Traverse City area. Livingston County Economic Development Council Director Fred Dillingham has been working with the company for the past nine months. He says a company like Imagination Engines could take advantage of engineers and other technical people, as well as assembly-line workers, who have lost their jobs in Michigan because of auto industry-related downsizing. That has left a significant pool of educated, technically proficient people looking for employment, he says. The company had previously applied for funds to relocate to Michigan under the 21st Century Jobs Fund, but was rejected and will be reapplying, Garcia says. He believes the reason for the initial rejection is that those who make the decisions on grants didn’t comprehend the scope of what the company does. “The concept was so far up there (it wasn’t fully understood),” Garcia says. The 21st Century Jobs Fund, administered by the Michigan Economic Development Corp., was created as a catalyst for investment to create high-tech companies and jobs in such areas as alternative energy, advanced auto technology and homeland security-defense industries. The Lansing presentation included representatives of Imagination Engines, Akamai Physics, Alert S^ystems and Raytheon Co. “lEI is working with (those companies) on current projects, (and has) collaborated with (them) on successful projects in the past,” Vieau says.

The summer gardens draw visitors and art groups, or even single artists who want to settle in and paint, Kathy Mathews said. The name of the business came from Kathy Mathews’ love of scented geraniums, which she still grows and sells.

Lawyer drowns in Kent Lake F rom N e w s s t a f f re p o r t s A Howell-area lawyer was called a quiet, caring man who was a hard worker and an avid gardener during a memorial service on Monday. Lawrence Crawford, 53, drowned in a swimming accident a week earlier in Kent Lake at the Kensington Metropark east of Brighton. 'The Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Crawford drowned the night of June 25 while swimming alone in the Oakland County lake. 'Two kayakers found Crawford’s body in the lake the following day, said Denise Semion, a spokeswoman for the Huron-Clinton Metroparks. He was wearing a swimsuit and was identified after parks officials found his car at the park. Crawford’s wife, Casey Hans, reported him missing early Tuesday afternoon to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department, Sheriff Robert Bezotte said. Hans told police she had not seen her husband or been able to reach him since late Monday morning, and he had not shown up to work, all of which was unlike him, Bezotte said. Arrangements were handled by the Herrmann Rmeral Home in Brighton. Hans is a reporter and copy editor for The Livingston Community News. Ex-county lawmaker dies at 66 F r om N ew s s t a f f re p o r t s Livingston County has lost one of its fiercest watchdogs of public spending. Hamburg Township’s David Hamilton, a retired county commissioner and outspoken opponent of taxation, died last Sunday at the University of Michigan Medical Center. He was 66. Hamilton moved to Hamburg Township in the mid-1970s. He was elected to the Livingston County Board of Commissioners in 1988 and served as 8th District commissioner for 14 years before deciding not to seek re-election in 2002. Most recently, Hamilton has been known as the chairman of the Livingston County Taxpayers Association, a citizens group favoring limited taxation. He frequently spoke out against county and local bond issues and milage campaigns that would increase residents’ taxes, including a three-year, 3-mill enhancement tax to help fund operating budgets for local schools that was defeated by voters in May 2005. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Ada, and two children, James Hamilton of Ann Arbor and Erin Hamilton of Anchorage, Alaska. Arrangements will be handled by the Borek-Jennings Flineral Home, Hamburg Chapel, with visitation from 1-5 p.m. Sunday. The funeral is set for Monday at the chapel, 7425 E. M-36. The time of the service has yet to be set.____________ Auto industry supplier to shut down A t r e u m -B r ig h t o n h a s d o w n s i z e d g r a d u a l ly in p a s t f e w y e a r s B Y TO M T O L EN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r Auto supplier Atreum- Brighton, formerly known as Brighton Interior Systems, will close its doors permanently this fall. The company, which at one time employed about 500 people at its Challis Road facility, has gradually downsized during the past few years, as a result of the troubled domestic auto industry. The plant opened in -1996. Last fall, the company announced it would reduce its work force to 60-70 people, and change its focus from a facility that manufactured car doors, dashboard assemblies and other auto parts to a service parts center. That never happened. “Because we were in a critical launch, we never got down to that number (because) we did not want to disrupt the launch,” said spokeswoman Tracy Aierst. “(As a result), this plant closure will affect about 200 people,” Euerst said. Rierst said the company “intend(s) to assist where possible to place employees.” The company would not disclose any other details of the closure. Atreum-Brighton is part of Magna International Inc., a multinational corporation with headquarters in Aurora, Ontario, outside Toronto. The Brighton facility is an Intier Automotive Interiors plant, an operating unit of Magna.

City of Brighton Finance Director Dave Gajda, saying the city has received notice of Atreum’s coming departure, said he will recommend revocation of the last year of the company’s 12-year, 50 percent tax abatement, which is to expire in 2008. Such a step would potentially mean an extra $75,000 in tax revenue for the city. The total tax abatement for Magna in 2008 (including school and other taxes) is projected at about $253,000, Gajda said.

Pinckney engineering student killed in handgun accident B Y M A R IA N N E R Z E P K A N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r A 21-year-old engineering student from Pinckney was shot and killed last weekend by a friend and fraternity brother who was playing with a handgun at a party in Auburn Hills. Karl Joseph Hansen was shot once in the head while he slept, said Auburn Hills Police. He died at the scene. Marcus Jun-Mon Yu, 22, of South Lyon, was arraigned Monday on a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter by District Court Magistrate Marie Soma. She set a $50,000 personal bond. Yu and Hansen, both students at Kettering University in Flint, were attending a party in an Auburn Hills apartment for engineering students, members of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, who were about to start sixmonth internships at various locations. The shooting occurred about 2:30 a.m. June 30, police said. The handgun belonged to the resident of the apartment, who also was asleep at the time of the shooting, according to officers. About seven people were in the apartment at the time. Yu was there when police arrived and has cooperated with the investigation, officers said. Involuntary manslaughter carries a 15-year prison term and a fine of up to $7,500, police said. Yu is scheduled for a court ap- L A N D S C A P I N G SALES PERSON E E D E D TODD’S S e r v ic e s , M ic h ig a n 's la r g e s t r e sid en tia l la n d s c a p in g c o . is hiring a p e r so n w h o is truly a g r e a t la n d s c a p in g r e sid en tia l s a le s p e r so n .

The district is in slightly better financial shape than anticipated because stringent cost cutting measures in every district building resulted in a $1,900,000 fund balance this year instead of a projected $1,500,000 balance. “Because of being frugal from November until now, we're healthier than we would have been,” Superintendent Ed Alverson said. “I want to publicly acknowledge to the board that people went above and beyond trying to stretch every dollar.” The district anticipated ' B e c a u s e o f b e i n g f r u g a l f r o m N o v e m b e r u n t i l n o w , w e ' r e h e a l t h i e r t h a n w e w o u l d h a v e b e e n . ' Ed Alverson, Fowlerville Community.Schools Superintendent a $900,000 budget deficit next year and made cuts in building budgets and personnel including the loss of the school police liaison officer, a media specialist and reduction in the hours of kindergarten aides. The board still anticipates drawing down the fund balance in order to make up the difference in the deficit, but because of the healthier balance as of June 30, the end of this fiscal year, the district anticipates a million- dollar fund balance at the end of next year. «=1HEliYDIGSroN- COMMUNITY NEWS Classified 810-844-2020 • Dispiay 810-844-2000 ABC Audit ........................... .B-5 Fantastic Sams ............... . . .A-5 Krug Ford Lincoln Mercury.

The Ann Arbor resident was prepared for the “nohands” rule as he stepped up to compete in the banana split eating contest at Dee’s Place in Whitmore Lake on Sunday. He figured his stomach could handle the ice cream. Removing his shirt in preparation for the mess, he and a few dozen people in Whitmore Lake took the challenge last weekend in the spirit of good fun for the Fourth of July holiday. Earlier that day, hundreds of residents and visitors lined Main Street with their lawn chairs and picnic blankets to watch the annual Independence Day parade. The perfect spot for Whitmore Lake residents Tammy and Chris Whisman, and their daughters Indigo, 6, and Savannah, 3, was beneath a large tree just beyond the lake. Indigo and Savannah Whisman were wearing matching red-and-white-striped dresses and patriotic headbands, to get into the spirit of the day. During the week, the family planned to have a barbecue and check out the annual water-ski show on Whitmore Lake. It would be a fun, but bittersweet Fourth of July week for the family because it’s probably the last time they will attend the Whitmore Lake festivities. Both Tammy and Chris Whisman work at Pfizer’s Ann Arbor facilities; the family will relocate to Connecticut with the company come this August. “We’ll have to find a new parade,” Tammy Whisman said. “The economy in Michigan is much different than it is there. We know we’ll find something.” Another annual downtown event, the Kiwanis chicken broil, drew plenty of visitors - including volunteer Lawrence McLaughlin, a U.S. Navy veteran. He’d arrived to help prepare the grills before seven that morning. McLaughlin said that honoring veterans was on his mind as he enjoyed the Independence Day events for the first time in Whitmore Lake. “Seeing the faces, walking through the crowds, people Indigo Whisman, 6, left, and her sister. Savannah, 3, wait for the Fourth of July Parade to start Sunday in downtown Whitmore Lake. are saying these guys are important, they should be recognized.” At the banana split contest, Medina overcame the brain freeze and near suffocation from ice cream to take first place against the over-18 crowd. Medina, who hopes to move to Whitmore Lake soon, insisted he didn’t participate for the $10 ice cream gift certificate prize. “It’s more to have the kids watch me and see I can have fun, and also to be a part of the community,” he said. “To jam ie Wilkinson and her year-old son Glen Langosch of dive right in, so to speak.” Whitmore Lake watch the parade in the hamlet Sunday.

Call i-800-Gambier H a m b u r g a w a r d s b i d f o r t o w n s h i p w a t e r p r o j e c t But board member questions timetable BY LEANNE SMITH N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Hamburg Township has chosen an engineering firm for' its first municipal water project, but at least one member of the Board of Trustees is questioning why the project is on the fast track to be completed late this fall. The board awarded a $99,900 bid to Howell’s Hubbell, Roth & Clark Inc. on June 28 to oversee the engineering of the water project, which runs from Hamburg Township’s eastern border with Green Oak Township west to the Hamburg Professional Center and Michigan Rehabilitation Specialists at 7785 E. M-36. Trustee Pat Hohl is concerned that pushing the project into November could put it into winter, which usually means higher construction costs. Hohl said he wondered if construction projects, such as the township’s new fire station, the Village at Hamburg shops and a new Dragon Court restaurant, would even be ready to hook into the water system in November. “I’m concerned that we’re charging ahead and haste makes waste,” Hohl said. “We could see a significant cost reduction if we don’t have to have winter construction.” Supervisor Cindy Pine said she has been assured that the shops and restaurant are on target to be completed this year, and that they are being built for use of municipal water instead of private wells. A May 15 public hearing was conducted by the board after it received 25 petitions from property owners in the area who support a public water system. They o'wn 58 percent of the nearly 287 acres in the proposed district. Another hearing will take place later this summer. If the owners of more than 50 percent of the acreage in the proposed district still support the project then, construction of the water line should begin in September and be finished by late November, Pine said. Users’ first payments would show up on their December tax bills. Hamburg trustees in March approved a resolution to issue $1.9 million in capital improvement bonds to construct the water line. Officials estimate there are about 230 residential equivalency units needed by all properties in the district. Pine said. An REU is a standard measure water consumption based on the amount a typical home might use. Larger businesses can require more than one REU. The township expects to asses each property owner between $6,500 and $7,000 to tap into the system. Pine said. Besides paying for the water they use per REU, users also would pay a $9.50-percustomer administration fee each quarter and an $ll-permonth per-REU fee to retire a $2 million bond secured by the township in 2002 to buy into the community water authority, which also consists of Green Oak and Brighton townships.

In the Hartland Consolidated School District, Hartland High School Media Specialist Kristine Moffett, who spearheaded the plan, says, “We cut over $60,000 from our energy bill with just six months of the Energy Savings Plan, which got under way in November 2006.” The Hartland school district has been using such energy savings measures as turning the lights off in the district’s 50 vending machines, turning off its 1,800 computers and monitors nights and weekends, shutting off lights in all rooms when no one will be there for more than an hour and putting insulation covers on electrical outlets. The district initiated the Michigan Green School bill in May 2006 and was recognized as a Green School for meeting 10 ecological goals. The Pinckney Community School District has been cutting energy costs for the last 10 years, according to Linda Moskalik, assistant superintendent of finance and operations. “We’ve been buying gas and electricity from the Michigan School Energy Coop for the last 10 years, which has saved us about $650,000,” says Moskalik. “Ih the last four-five years, we have closed the high school pool during the summer months, which reduces the heat and rate of circulation of water and saves electricity and gas costs. We’ve also had employees take home personal appliances like microwaves and refrigerators unless they have a specific medical need.” Moskalik says that teachers have access to those appliances in the teacher’s lounge. She says that turning off lights and computers at the end of the day is also stressed as well as turning off the lights in pop machines. In the Fowlerville school district. Superintendent Ed Alverson says the district has been getting rid of inefficient boilers and replacing them with new ones that have saved the district substantial dollars. “We’re trying to get all of our buildings qualified as green in the 2007-08 school year,” says Alverson. Brighton Area Schools Director of Operations Bill Blanchard says there is currently an energy project under way in the district where light sensors are being installed and more efficient light bulbs are now in use. “We’re tying outside air to motion sensors so that we’re not heating or cooling buildings when it’s not needed,” says Blanchard. “We completely reduced the HVAC at Brighton High School and installed an ice farm, which produces ice at night in big tanks, which is then used during the day to cool off the building.” Blanchard says that in five of the schools energy efficient condensing boilers have replaced older boilers. “We’ve been very busy trying to reduce consumption for the last three years, and the major energy portion of the project started last year,” says Blanchard. The Howell school district has also started using motion sensors for lighting, and encouraged staff to turn off lights and computers, monitors and printers. “We have been able to net several thousands of dollars in savings in a short period of time as a result,” says Mike Peterson, director of operations for the Howell school district. “Our new roofs are white to reflect heat, and our new Parker High School has motion sensors that not only turn off the lights, but then link into the HVAC system to put the space into an unoccupied mode.” Peterson says that the district has shut down buildings for the summer, and that he is always shopping for the best energy deals. “The district has targeted $100,000 in energy savings for next year,” he says.

L C C t o r e l o c a t e t o P a r k e r H i g h a t e n d o f s u m m e r 2 - y e a r c o l l e g e w ill p a y H o w e ll s c h o o l d i s t r ic t $ 6 8 ,0 0 0 r e n t BY CASEY HANS N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r As the Howell High School staff unpacks at its new Parker High School campus, Lansing Community College officials will be busy moving as well. The two-year college with about 700 students will relocate from its current site on D-19 south of 1-96 to the first floor in the west wing at the new Parker campus. Lucian Leone, director of the LCC Livingston Center, said the college move is planned from Aug. 2-5, just after summer term has ended. The new location, for which LCC will pay the Howell district $68,000 in rent, will offer LCC students access to a cafeteria and library, which they don’t have at thejr current location, Leone added. LCC will offer its usual classes, including some 40 courses for ff-eshmen. The location will make it convenient for eligible high school upperclassmen to take programs and earn college credit at the Parker campus. “We’ll have a full range of freshman classes, math, writing, English, history, psychology, all the sciences. It’s a pretty exhaustive list,” Leone said. Under the state’s dual enrollment provisions, certain high school students qualify to take college courses through LCC while enrolled in high school. With state updates to the program allowing more students to qualify and the close proximity of LCC, Howell Superintendent Chuck Breiner said he expects more students to enroll in the program. About 65 students, compared with 10 to 20 who have enrolled in years past, have shown an interest, he said. Those enrolled get college credits to advance their edu- ^ cation, as well as high school credits, he said. The district will pay for college classes as part of its per-pupil state foundation grant. As an added incentive, students who must pay tuition ^ out-of-pocket toward LCC college classes can apply for a $100 rebate from the school district, with money to be taken from the annual rent LCC pays, Breiner said. “What we’d like to see is (high school) students graduating with most of their freshmen year of college already done,” Leone added. Tuition rates for LCC are $120 per credit hour for students outside of the LCC taxing district, which includes Howell. Breiner said the partnership with the college makes sense. “We may be unique in the nation in this,” he said. “I 1 don’t know that any other high school has a college contained in it. It’s a wonderful collaboration without double i the cost to the taxpayers.” Howell has the fourth-largest number of high school | graduates in the state enrolled at LCC and the highest number enrolled of any high school out of the LCC district.

Longtime customers need not jump to conclusions. The sale is not going to happen tomorrow or next week. And it’s not for lack of business. Owner Dave Beauchamp just says it’s time to cash in his chips. “I always thought I’d know when it’s time,” he said. “In September, it’ll be 26 years. I’ve enjoyed it, but I’ll be 60 this year, and it’s time to do something a little different.” Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Pam McConeghy says that if Beauchamp, a past Chamber Board president, does sell and leave the area, he will be missed. “He’s such a close friend of the chamber; he is still on the board and has been chairman of the Cars, Cash and Casino Extravaganza,” McConeghy said. “We’re so sorry if he does leave, because he’s been such a staple.” Beauchamp said he wants to take time off. “I want to play a little more tennis; after that, I don’t know what I’m going to do.” Beauchamp says the economy has nothing to do with his decision, and business has been good. “It’s a pretty viable property,” he said. In addition to the Champ’s Pub building and property, Beauchamp w n s the adjacent building, which houses three downstairs businesses - a chiropractor, a therapist and a loan office, plus two upstairs apartments - and he says that property is for sale, too. Beauchamp said he has been able to survive because Champs is not just a restaurant, and not merely a bar. “We have a niche, and we always had the best burger (in town) and all that, but nobody thought of us as a restaurant,” Beauchamp said. “We have a little niche, and I don’t compete directly with the restaurants.” “If he does leave, I hope we can get a Champs junior to come in and continue with what he started and build upon that,” McConeghy said. The properties are listed through Scott Griffith at Griffith ERA in Brighton. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@livingstoncommunity news.com or at 810-844-2009. P r T r io o f h e a l t h - f i t n e s s b u s i n e s s e s o p e n s in B r i g h t o n B Y TO M T O L EN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Active Zone fitness center and MedQuan Sports Medicine and Wellness Center are now open in Brighton, joining Peak Performance Footwear at 112 E. Main St., which is under the same roof and opened 10 months ago. The three connected businesses are owned by Dr. Debi Siljander and her husband, Phil. Debi Siljander’s specialty is medical orthopedics. She is board-certified as a family practice, primary care physician. The building in which all three components are housed was formerly occupied by Kendall’s Sci-Clean. The building the couple renovated won the 2006 Karl H. Greimel award, bestowed by the city of Brighton for the project “which exemplifies overall excellence in regard to the balance and scale of the building.” Brighton Downtown Development Authority Chairman Bob Herbst says the Siljanders have made an impact on Brighton during their short time in business. “They took a building and made an eyesore into a beautiful place,” Herbst says. Siljander says the phrase “MedQuan Sports Medicine” can be misleading. “Sports medicine is not necessarily sports-related,” she says. “It could be back pain, foot pain, orthopedics,” says the doctor, adding that she works with “a tot of people with muscle fatigue, computer fatigue and asthma patients (among others).” The “Wellness” aspect involves the practice of preventative medicine, Siljander says. “People in the Brighton area now have the opportunity to come to an M.D. for preventative issues not usually available from their family doctor,” she says. Siljander is a big believer in regular exercise as a way to prevent disease and other health problems. “(Dr. Siljander) has a fitness adviser who is a certified personal trainer, and will have a certified message therapist by mid-July,” Phil Siljander says.

Siljander says everyone who joins gets a one-on-one personal orientation “so they know how to use each piece of equipment and can feel confident this is how the equipment is supposed to work,” she says. The program is individualized so the person gets the correct kind of workout, based on individual need and situation. “Now, there’s a fitness center that’s not intimidating,” Siljander says. Peak Performance Footwear has a wide assortment of athletic shoes and comfort shoes with top-notch arch support, and a footwear consultant is on staff to make sure the person gets the right shoes. The final component of the business is Optimal Health Plus, a weight-management program in which a 12-week fitness and nutrition plan are set up and tailor-made to meet the needs of the individual. “We’re really thrilled with what (the Siljanders) are doing here in Brighton,” says Pam McConeghy, executive director of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce. “They’re really building a good reputation.” Siljander has also just begun a walking and running club, called Team Peak, that makes two, three and sixmile runs around Brighton in a loop designed to take in the Brighton Biennial outdoor sculptures. A seasonal membership costs $75. Walking- running maps of Brighton also are available. Address: 112 E. Main St, Brighton. Phone: 810-220-8700.

Longtime residents will be glad to know one of them is back. For 38 years, Lon Huhman owned and operated a “no frills, man’s barbershop” at the corner of M-36 and Dexter Road. It was the place all Pinckney High School football players got their hair cut and where guys could just stop in and talk sports ani^ime. Huhman sold his business in 2000 and left Pinckney, his hometown from the time he started third grade. “Big mistake,” he said. “I’ve regretted it almost every day.” Huhman’s not sure if he’ll become the preferred haircutter of the current Pinckney Community High School football team, but guys still can come in for a simple, low-cost haircut A f te r seven ye a rs away, Lon H u hm an is ba ck b a rb e r in g in P in ckn e y .

Huhman reopened his business about a month ago in the former Kaylin’s Nails salon. The word has slowly gotten out and some of his old customers are trickling back in. “He always cut my hair as a kid,” said Putnam Town-' ship’s Tony Wallace, a Hamburg Township police officer. “One time I was on my way to school for final exams and I ran out of gas right in front of his shop. He came out and said to just take his van. That’s the kind of guy he is.” There’s no model train traveling around the ceiling of this barbershop, but Huhman’s well-remembered print of “Black Bart” is back on the wall. “You never really appreci- IN BRIEF Livingston County 1-96 exit ramps to get resurfaced A Michigan Department of Transportation project to resurface the ramps at 1-96 and Spencer Road near Brighton was expected to begin today. Work was to begin with the 1-96 westbound exit and entrance ramps at Spencer Road, said MDOT spokeswoman Kari Arend. The westbound ramps will be closed for about three weeks. Once work on the westbound ramps is completed, repairs will begin on the eastbound exit and entrance ramps. When the ramps are closed, traffic will be directed using posted detour routes. The $2.5 million project will extend the life of the pavement and provide a smoother driving surface on the ramps, Arend said. Brighton Creative Kids seeks alumni for reunion Creative Kids Learning Center, a child care facility at 801 Chestnut St, Brighton, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. As such, the center is seeking alumni from the class of 1997, its first year. A Fall Festival will be scheduled in late August or early September to celebrate, said owner Jodie Hutcheson. “We would like former students, particularly from our first year, to contact is and be a part of the celebration,” Hutcheson said. Former students are asked call Hutcheson at 810-229-5437 or e-mail her at creativekidsjodie@ sbcglobal.net. The Creative Kids Learning Center Web site is cfeativekidslearningcenter. net. City of Detroit sells Camp Brighton The Detroit City Council has approved the sale of 160 acres of the Camp Brighton recreational property to the Chaldean Catholic Church for a price of $3.5 million. The only portion of the property the church is not purchasing is a non contiguous, 40-acre parcel. The purchase will not be finalized until “due diligence” is completed, which is expected to take about two months, said the Rev. Manuel Boji, a church spokesman. The city of Detroit has owned the property for decades, but for the last several years the property has remained largely unused as the city struggled with financial crises. In an effort to help erase a serious deficit, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick proposed selling $30 million in city properties, including Camp Brighton. After several postponements, the City Council finally approved the sale last week on a 5-4 vote. The property, which includes several buildings and a lake, is located north of 1-96 between Kellogg and Euler roads in Genoa Township. The church plans to use the property as a recreational area primarily for Chaldean families in southeastern Michigan, according to Boji. However, the camp would also be available to the public, although a fee for admittance would be charged, Boji said. There are an estimated 150,000 Chaldeans in the metro Detroit area, most of whom belong to the Chaldean Church. The church’s membership is composed of Eastern Rite Catholics who emigrated from Iraq. The metro Detroit area has the largest Chaldean community outside the war-torn nation. Singing groups seek new members Auditions are being scheduled for the Livingston County Chorale, The Women’s Chorus and the Children’s Choir. The Livingston County Chorale is a mixed choir of men and women directed by Marilyn S. Jones. It’s open to soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices with previous singing experience, as well as young people who have sung in their high school choirs and live in Livingston County. Rehearsals are 7:30-9:30 p.m. Tuesdays at Brighton I^gh School. Call Sandra Drown at 517-546- 5340 to schedule an audition. The Women’s Chorus, directed by Patti Marshall-Doane, is open to all women who can match pitch, sing in the treble range and have some prior musical experience. Rehearsals are 7:30-9:30 p.m. Mondays at Brighton High School. Call Patti Marshall- Doane at 810-227-7733 to schedule an audition. The Children’s Choir is for boys and girls who will be in grades four through seven during the 2007-08 school year. Rehearsals are Monday afternoons at Howell’s Hutchings Elementary School. Call Allison Laibly, one of the directors, at 810-923-4055 for information on auditions. Hamburg Township Employees' raises approved Hamburg Township employees will receive a 2.5 percent cost-of-living raise and an additional 2 percent raise to move up one step on the township’s salary scale if they have not reached the top of their salary scales. The measure, deemed “almost too generous” considering the uncertainty of the state budget by Treasurer Roberta Balon-Vaughn, and Trustees George Majoros and Mike Bitondo, was approved last week as part of the township’s 2007-08 budget. The move is another part in a three-year plan to put all employees on a fair and structured pay scale, said Supervisor Cindy Pine. The plan to move all employees from an ad-hoc pay practice to a clearly defined one in which all township jobs are placed into one of eight salary glides began in 2005. The next step, said Pine, is to develop a merit system of raises that would be implemented in 2008-09. Employees will be evaluated against their own goals and objectives and granted raises on merit once that system is in place. Pine said. Alternate fully joins board Jason Negri, an alternate on Hamburg Township’s Board of Review, has been appointed to a full-time slot in that group. Negri is replacing longtime board member Ray Bennett, who has resigned. Hartland Township Power lines cause concern state Rep. Joe Hune, RHamburg Township, is urging the Michigan Public Service Commission to reconsider its decision to allow a high-power overhead line system in Hartland Township, saying many residents have contacted him about safety concerns and potential loss of property value. Hune sent a letter to the MPSC asking the agency to grant a request by Hartland Township officials for a new hearing of the International Transmission Company project, which stretches 7.5 miles across the township and through a large portion of Livingston County. “The concerns of people who will be directly impacted by this project have not been sufficiently heard by the MPSC, and I urge them to give residents a voice in the process,” Hune said. “A project of this magnitude could have far-reaching effects on the area, especially when it comes to loss of property value and quality of life.” Hune said outside of Livingston County, the ITC project calls for power lines to be buried. The 47th District lawmaker said he wants to know why Livingston County residents were not afforded the same consideration by ITC in trying to maintain the standard of development. Local residents can contact Hune’s office toll free at 1-866-828-4863 or at joehune@ house.mi.gov. Pinckney School board approves budget A nearly $37 million budget, which went into effect on Sunday, was approved by the Pinckney Community Schools Board of Education June 28. Pinckney is relying on nearly $800,000 fi'om its fund equity to balance next year’s budget, but officials are hoping an estimated 125-student drop in enrollment is too high and estimates regarding state funding are too conservative, said Superintendent Dan Danoslgf. The district is able to make up about $800,000 of next year’s projected $1.5 million budget deficit due to 19 teachers taking an early retirement buyout this year. Seven of those positions will not be filled. A mandated reduction in state retirement will save Pinckney about $200,000, and moving to full-day kindergarten four days a week and staffing the classes with parttime teachers could result in another $112,000 savings, said Linda Moskalik, assistant superintendent for finance and operations. The Pinckney Community High School police liaison officer, contracted through the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department; is being cut to save $65,000, the money paid to club and after-school program advisers is being trimmed by $40,000, and payto- participate fees for high school athletes are increasing from $150 per sport to $175. Scheduled step increases will be paid to staff, but a general wage increase for all employees is not reflected in this budget, Danosl^ said. Board member's service recognized Mike Hendee has been honored by Pinckney Community Schools for 12 years of service on the district’s Board of Education. Hendee, whose third term expired this year, chose not to run for re-election. Hendee served for many years as the board treasurer. New board officers will be selected at the group’s 7 p.m. organizational meeting on Thursday, July 19, in the Pathfinder School media center, 2100 E. M-36, Hamburg Township. Putnam Township Town hall gets go-ahead Officials are moving ahead with the purchase of about $700,000 in bonds to fund the building of a new Putnam Township Hall. The township’s Board of Trustees on June 26 approved the bond purchase for the new building, which could be started this summer on township- owned property on West M-36 near Cedar Lake Road. The bonds will be paid back through the township’s general fund. Cost savings from contracting with the Pinckney Police Department instead of the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department will help, said Supervisor Ron Rau, adding that the township is also hoping annual revenue from cable franchise and gravel pit fees will help. The township also hopes to sell its annex at 122 S. Howell St. in downtown Pinckney to help pay for the new building, Rau said.

Sue, “Being here and being part of this community again just feels good.” Huhman’s other family members agree. “He looks 10 years younger,” said daughter-in-law Jennifer Chambers of Putnam Township. “He’s back in his element.” Huhman, a football team co-captain, graduated from Pinclmey High in 1958. When a chance to play football at Olivet College didn’t go as he had expected, good friend Dick Kennedy invited him to come along to barber college with him in Highland Park. After graduation and a twoyear apprenticeship at a barbershop on Michigan Avenue in Detroit, Huhman came home to Pinckney in 1962 and bought out Clare Swarthout, who learned barbering in part by shearing sheep. When they sold that shop, none of the Huhmans’ nine children, including sbc sons, were interested in barbering and he was getting tired. The couple moved around and Huhman barbered in Indiana, Mio and Howell before coming home. Through it all, his philosophy about what makes a good barber has stayed the same. “It’s important to try and give people what they want, not what you want,” he said.

Brighton Telephone: (810) 844-2000 H o w e l l D D A w i l l c o v e r l a n d s c a p i n g c o s t i n c r e a s e City leaders considered scaling back D-19 work B Y L A U R IE H U M P H R E Y N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r A $371,000 funding shortfall recently forced city leaders to consider cuts in a $1.4 million proposed landscape improvement plan along the D-19 corridor, north from the 1-96 ramps. Members of the Howell Downtown Development Authority objected to the scaled-down version and agreed to cover the expenses, in addition to a prior $500,000 pledge. Decorative elements including pedestrian benches, foliage and an illuminated brick wall bearing the city’s name were slated for elimination following a rise in project costs. While the elements could have been added at a later date when funding was secure, DDA board members questioned whether the project would ever really be completed as initially intended. “If we don’t do it now, it’s not going to get done," said DDA Chairwoman Vicki Hartman. Downtown development authorities are eligible for tax increment financing, which allows a percentage of the taxes for any new construction in a DDA’s boundaries to be captured and used for improvements in the DDA district. The group also can collect new taxes on existing structures in its boundaries as property values increase. A circular, illuminated brick wall, the most costly item considered for cuts, will sit atop a brick retaining wall where D- 19 meets 1-96. A four-legged United Way I w w w .lcu n itedw a y . round-about is planned for the juncture, which sees about 200,000 cars daily. “We’d have to shut that operation down in order to add the wall at a later date,” said City Manager Shea Charles. Community Development Director Amy Connolly, who also oversees the DDA, supported the additional spending based on the DDA’s “healthy fund balance,” and proposed project’s aesthetic appeal. , “You would lose a big opportunity to do a big splash on that corner,” she told DDA board members considering the motion to provide additional project funding. Hartman agreed, stressing a need to make the area appealing. “There is already a negative attitude about roundabouts in the public. To have an ugly on e ....” The total project cost, with road improvements and landscaping, will cost about $3.5 million. It is funded through a $1.2 million federal grant, a $942,000 Michigan Economic Development Corp. grant and $871,000 from the DDA. The project is expected to be done in 2008, while the Loop Road project, a $8.5 million road creation project extending east from D-19 to direct traffic away from the downtown area, is slated for completion in 2009. Improvements on D- 19 are expected to begin this summer. Laurie Humphrey can be reached at lhumphrey@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2003. w h a t m a t t e r s .

And it was beautiful. I cried. I laughed. I thought deeply about how wickedly cruel real life can be. I don’t particularly like memorial services. It’s a signal that something awful has happened. Just stepping inside a funeral home gives me the creeps. The service was for a guy 11 months younger than I am. That makes it even creepier. He had a wife who adored him and the kind of family that spends weekends together and, on occasion, even vacations together. His brother, his sister and his father spoke during the service. He was respected by his work colleagues and had many friends. Lots of them filled the funeral home to overflowing for his service. His boss talked about how important he was to the company. Friends and family talked about how caring he was, always reaching out in his own way to lend a hand, almost before the one getting a little help knew he needed it. It’s a scenario that plays out just about every day in this community. Last week at least a dozen people died in Livingston County. During 2006 there were nearly 800 deaths. On average, about two each day. Flinerals are awkward gatherings where people break down in tears one moment, then break out in laughter the next. I always feel terribly sad for the family that is grieving the loss of a lowed one. Yet I truly believe that remembering the good times - and, yes, even laughing about them - can be therapeutic. During the service I attended this week, there were jokes about which car the deceased was likely to be driving in heaven and laughter as his sister described the awkward moments when he first met his future wife. But this was the first service I have attended where I got a parting gift from the dearly departed. The man’s family had baked a batch of his special cookies and we each got one as we left the service. On top of that we got the recipe. So I thought I would share that recipe with you. I know I felt better after eating one of his cookies. Maybe you will, too. F am o u s C o o k ie s Cream together: 2 cups real butter 2 cups sugar 2 cups brown sugar Add: 4 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla In a separate bowl, mix: 4 cups flour 5 cups powdered (in a blender) oatmeal 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons baking soda Mix all together and add: 24 oz. bag of chocolate chips 1 melted 8-ounce plain Hershey bar 3 cups chopped nuts Roll dough into golf-ball-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 6 minutes. Makes 112 cookies. Managing Editor Rick Fitzgerald can be reached at rfitzgerald@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2004.

This year’s tour features nine home gardens and two distinguished sponsor gardens throughout Livingston County. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the gardens. The distinguished sponsor gardens are local businesses that have worked with LACASA and have display gardens at their sites. They are Specialty Growers, on Golf Club Road in Oceola Township, a nursery growing perennials, herbs and companion plants, and Bader Acres and Gardens on Bowen Road in Howell Township, which sells an assortment of perennials and natural leaf mulch.

What distinguishes this flea market, which is in its second year, is that it is a community collaboration. Hartland Consolidated Schools owns the property, Hartland Township takes vendor applications, the Hartland Chamber of Commerce handles financial statements, and the Ranger’s 4-H Club sells goods to benefit 4-H. “The flea market has been a wonderful opportunity for the kids,” says Judy Paulsen, who helps run the Ranger’s 4-H Club. “They help the vendors set up and help people carry items to their cars. They’ve been able to raise money for teen trips. We’ve gone out West, to Washington, D.C., and to the Upper Peninsula.” The flea market, open from spring to fall, allows a variety of goods to be sold. Firearms, weapons, tobacco products, alcohol and pornographic material are banned, said flea market masters Kathie Horning and Jim Sparks. “Jim and I donate our time, S EE M A R K ET ,86 JIM JAGDFELD, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS H a r t la n d Flea M a rk e t d e a le r Clay to n D a v e y ta lk s a b o u t a p a ir o f w o o d en w a g o n w h e e ls h e had fo r sa le on a re cen t S a tu rd a y .

Gazebo Conceits series features new and former performers Tribute to Elvis, band nnade up of veterans among this year's acts BY L IS A C A R O L IN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Sure, more than 300,000 concertgoers have enjoyed the Kiwanis Gazebo Concerts since 1977, but there always is something new to see, Kiwanis Club President Dennis Dimoff said. The free music at Mill Pond Park in downtown Brighton begins at 7 p.m. The idea of free performances at The Mill Pond began in 1976 when the Kiwanis Club built a gazebo. The concerts began with a budget of $800, and has grown to more than $17,000. each Sunday until Aug. 26. Main Street will close at 5:30 p.m. on Sundays. Pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, shaved ice and cold drinks will be for sale. New this year to the series: ■ Tony Poma with a tribute to Elvis. “He grew up in Brighton,” Dimoff said. Poma’s show opens the series this Sunday. ■ The Project Band, a Detroit- area band that plays music from the 1950s and ’60s. ■ The Stool Fools Band. It’s “a group of veterans from the Howell area playing blues, country and rock ’n’ roll, and they’re sponsored by the American Legion in Howell,” Dimoff said. “We’ll be presenting flags to servicemen and veterans at that concert.” A number of the other bands on the schedule have performed at the Gazebo before, including the all-women Bonnie Rockets Band. Dimoff says that Marlene Indian, who is performing on Aug. 19, is a waitress at Ciao Amici’s, and that she sings opera. Music in the air The 31st season of Kiwanis Gazebo Concerts begins Sunday around Brighton's Mill Pond. Here's a lineup of performers. All concerts begin at 7 p.m. S u n d a y : Tony Poma "Elvis Show." J u l y 15: The Project Band. J u l y 22: The Stool Fools Band; Pre show: Tribute to Servicemen.

He says this is the first time that the Brighton High School Battle of the Bands winner will perform, and that will be Aug. 26. The idea of free performances at The Mill Pond began in 1976 when the Kiwanis Club built a gazebo in honor of the nation’s bicentennial.

The 22-acre adoption, rescue and humane care farm for horses in Deerfield Township ^ is especially hurting for volunw teers now, said Lynn Donell, volunteer coordinator. “We are an all-volunteer organization,” Donell said. “Some people come to volunteer here when they’re between jobs and then leave when they get a job, so we’re always looking for great people to help more. They don’t need any special credentials. We train people to take care of the horses.” ‘ Donell said that a number of senior citizens have volunteered at Horses’ Haven, and jobs range from mixing grains to providing medications to the more than 50 animals that live on the property of the nonprofit organization. “We’re a humane care and adoption agency for horses and ponies,” Donell said. “We give them a second chance to live out their lives.” Donell said animals come to Horses’ Haven for a variety of reasons. Some are rescued from abusive situations, others arrive after being purchased at an auction or are brought in by owners who are no longer able to care for them. Horses’ Haven is funded and operated solely on volunteers and donations. Approximately 100 volunteers are needed to help keep the facility running, Donell said. She tries to fill five-hour shifts that start at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. every day with at least 10 people. Horses’ Haven was started in 1995 by Barbara Baker with VOLUNTEERS This listing of volunteer opportunities is compiled by the Livingston County United Way.

Swedish band to deliver BIG Big concert H o s t in g 7 0 -m e m b e r e n s e m b l e r e q u i r e s tr ic k y l o g i s t i c s B Y G O R D IE T A Y LO R N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r It turns out that with a little help from community mem- ^ bers, there is room in Brigh- P ton for the BIG Big Band fi-om Sweden. A 70-member ensemble from the small village of Roke, The BIG Big Band From Sweden will visit Shepherd of the Lakes Lutheran Church in ^ Brighton for a free concert on July 12 at 7 p.m. Joining the band will be renowned European jazz trombonist Vincent Nilsson, who was a member of the band in the 1960s. Nilsson currently is a member of the Royal Danish Radio Big Band. Keith Dwyer, director of music and performing arts at Shepherd of the Lakes Church, saw the chance to host the band as a great opportunity. “About a year ago we heard about them, so we started looking into bringing them to Brighton,” he said. “For us, it’s a chance to sponsor a wonderful event.” Hosting a 70-person band is no easy task, so Dwyer searched for host homes in the area for the band members. “I made presentations to different high school band classes, and we worked with boosters to find places for (the band) to stay.” Jim Lesher, president of the Brighton High School Band Boosters, is working with Dwyer to help find host families. “It’s a great way to promote the arts,” Lesher said. Dave Anderson, President of Fellowship Ministries, helped organize the eighth United States tour in the band’s 52-year history. “It’s a chance for people to learn a lot,” Anderson said. “The band can see America and see what life is like, and the host families can also learn what life is like in Sweden.” In order to start their 15- stop tour in the United States, band members had to raise more than $70,000 to cover their transportation from Sweden. Their travel expenses while on tour are covered by fi-ee-will offerings collected at their concerts. Anderson believes that one of the big draws to the concert is the variety of people that the music can interest. “It’s the only kind of music that can appeal to all ages,” says Anderson. “It’s up-beat for the younger kids to enjoy, and when the older-generations hear the big band sound, it will really bring back great memories.” Gordie Taylor can be reached at 810-844-2008.

The Give Back to the Community Program was started by Todd and Kurt LaButte in July 2005 to thank the community that has been supporting them for 29 years. The company donates 3 percent of each client’s project cost to a nonprofit organization of the customer’s choice. The $1 million total donation was scattered to more than 200 nonprofit organizations throughout the area, including school districts, churches, clinics and outreach centers. “It’s been great for everyone involved,” said Doug Murphy of Todd’s Services. “Nonprofits are the backbone of a community, and with the current economic situation, the timing was perfect.” The Livingston County Humane Society is one of the many nonprofit organizations that has been helped by the program, as it gets no outside funding from the state or other humane societies. “Community support is key,” says Sarah Mews of the Livingston County Humane Society. “With the support, we can continue to help homeless animals in the community. We are grateful COURTESY, TODD'S SERVICES A f te r re a ch in g th e $1 m illio n m a rk on th e ir ch a r t o f d o n a t io n s to local n o np ro f its , th e p e o p le of Todd's S e rv ic e s a re re ad y to sh o o t for $2 miliion in dona t io n s . for their support.” In addition to Livingston County, the program has benefited nonprofit organizations in Washtenaw, Wayne, Oakland and Genesee counties. One thing Murphy learned from the program was the amount of local organizations in need. “You find out about the nonprofits and the people they affect, and you feel great about what you’re doing,” he said. While the $1 million goal has been met, Murphy says Todd’s Services isn’t done. “We just got our new signs so we can start our countdown to $2 million.” For information about the Give Back to the Community Program, contact Murphy at 810-231-2778 or visit www. toddsservices .com.

Working out in the garden helps to build your soul.” The Carkners have cultivated their garden for 16 years and were on the tour in 2001. “It’s a lot of work, but we want to help LAC ASA as much as we can,” Sue Carkner said. “It’s a shame that we need LACASA, but we’re thankful that they’re there.” There are several style gardens on the county-wide tour, including one with carved totem poles, one that is nestled between a lake and a wetlands area, and another that is a Victorian-style garden. On Saturday, July 14, the fourth Twilight in the Garden takes place at the Byron Road Garden of David and Tami Bock in Howell Township. The event includes food and wine tasting. Tickets are $50 per person and reservations are needed. For tickets, reservations or more information, call 517- 548-1350 or visit the Web at www.lacasal.org.

Kids' plunges from bridge risky Police say they'll enforce law against diving to protect safety B Y L E A N N E SMIT H N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r A summer thrill once savored only by those who live on the Huron River is becoming a little too popular. Kids have jumped off a bridge into the river at a Hamburg Township swimming hole for years, but township officials say paving and widening the Lakelands Trail has made the sport more accessible to those who don’t live in the area. “There are large groups there now instead of just two or three kids,” said Chuck Menzies, a Hamburg Township Board of Trustees member who lives on the river. “It’s a lot easier now for kids to ride their bikes there. It’s starting to be a real concern.” Michigan law states that jumping or diving from a public bridge or overpass is a misdemeanor, said Hamburg Township Police Chief Steve Luciano. Officers will visit the bridge more frequently to issue warnings, he said. “If they don’t heed those warnings, we’ll take more aggressive action,” Luciano said. “Our only intent is to keep kids safe. We don’t want to see a kid paralyzed from diving off the bridge.” The concern, officials said, is that the bridge railing is about 8 feet off the water, which is just 4‘i feet deep there. “They are jumping from fairly high up into fairly shallow water, and the more and more people who are using the trail now and seeing this are uncomfortable with it,” Luciano said. Seeing the Lakelands Trail become a destination for walkers, runners and bicyclists since the $1.6 million improvement project was completed this spring is great,’ said Supervisor Cindy Pine, but maldng sure people use it safely is a priority. The township is investigating ways to keep kids from jumping from the bridge, she said. “We do not want to build a structure around the bridge, but we will put up warning signs and look at other op- .tions,” Pine said. “I’m sure we can’t completely stop people from jumping off the bridge, but we will respond to the complaints we are getting.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@livingstoncommunity ■ news.com or at 810-844-2011.

Being here at the flea market is all about having fun.” Dan and Dixie Coleman, who live in Brighton Township, run a booth and sell sunglasses, watches, flash lights and umbrellas. “All our kids go to school in Hartland Township, and we’ve had a good reception at the market,” Dan Coleman said. Clayton Davey, who lives in Milford Township, has a booth that sells plant stands, lawn ornaments and patio furniture. “Most of all of it is an antique or a collectable,” Davey said. “I get these things from auctions and estate sales.” Davey’s wares include a fire hydrant from the city of Detroit and wooden wagon wheels. John Lutz, a Hartland Township resident, inherited from his parents all of the 78 rpm records he is selling. “This flea market is a convenient place for me, and I know a lot of people,” he said.

Cameron had been kayak fishing in the mangroves of south Florida with guide Dave Loger, who told him a kayak you can stand up in was “a million-dollar idea.” Cameron, a former mechanical engineer who makes a living selling handmade canoes and kayaks, used the hours on the road to dream up the Freedom Hawk Kayak, a 14-foot kayak with outriggers that open to add stability for standing. He used his engineering background to draw a sketch Feb. 11, 2005, and smoothly navigated the patent process. The patent, awarded in 2006, hangs in a frame in his office off of Rickett Road in Green Oak Township. » SEE CAMERON,Cl JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS D a v e C am e ro n d em o n s t ra te s in his H am b u rg T ow n sh ip sh o p h ow his F re e d om H aw k K a y a k o p en s w i th leve rs , a llow in g f ish e rm e n to s tand up a n d cast.

I think every child, after learning about Thomas Edison or Albert Einstein in school, has similar big dreams. It seems so glamorous, to come up with an idea never seen before and make millions of dollars. But alas, my lack of creativity, time and money leaves it all just a pipe dream. TUms out, there are a number of creative people in Livingston County who are attempting to live that dream. This week, we profile five inventors of sportsrelated products, but there are more. SEE INVENTORS,C2 M i k e H a r t w e l l ' s p r o d u c t k e e p s g o l f c l u b s d r y BY JA SO N DEEGAN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Jeff Anderson hates playing golf in the rain. “I played it twice in the rain, and said I’d never do it again,” says Anderson, a financial planner who lives in the city of Howell. “No matter what you do, the club (grips) get wet. It’s virtually impossiWe.” Anderson was one of the first purchasers of the DrizzleStik, a small golf umbrella that covers clubs, keeping them dry. Golf in the rain is never fun, but at least now it’s tolerable, Anderson says. The DrizzleStik has made a splash in the golf market since Mark Hartwell created the concept in the late 1990s. His brother, Mike Hartwell, of Brighton Township, helped draw up the product. The Hartwells went to the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando in 1999 to introduce the DrizzleStik. “Sales started to grow right away,” Mike Hartwell says. .. DrizzleStiks can now be.Tound at pro shops at many courses and most golf stores, such as Edwin Watts and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Mike Hartwell quit his job as a sales representative for Newsweek magazine in 2001 to concentrate on the venture full-time. He and his wife, Lisa, who work out of their home, also sell luxury playing cards and poker chip sets to H am b u rg T o w n s h ip r e s id e n t J im P a r a d is e sh o w s o f f a p a ir o f G lo v e G rab b e rs , a v e lc ro d e v ic e he c re a ted th a t h elps g o lf g lo v e s sta y wrinklef re e .

J a m e s P a r a d is e : C r e a t e s w a y t o s a v e , d r y o u t g o l f e r s ' g lo v e s Like a lot of golfers, Rick Murgittroyd was always looking for a place to hang his glove. “I used to Velcro them around the front of the windshield of the carts,” says Murgittroyd, a 10-handicap from Lansing. Enter the Glover Grabber, a simple strip of Velcro that clips to your bag, a product created by James Paradise, of Hamburg Township. Murgittroyd says the invention saves him money by preserving his gloves. Instead of cramming them in his bag, where they get wrinkled and crusty from a day’s worth of sweat on the course, two gloves can hang from the Glove Grabber and dry out. “It’s not the $400 drivers. It is the little things that make your round of golf,” Murgittroyd says. “Golfers love trinkets. They are equipment junkies by nature.” The Glove Grabber has evolved from Paradise’s homemade version 4 1/2 years ago to to- SEE GOLF,C2 stores and directly to customers through the company’s web site, www.harbrollc.com. Golfers praise the ease that the DrizzleStik has to store in their bags and how quickly it can open. “The DrizzleStik, it’s one of those things that we still haven’t hit the top of the roller-coaster ride. There’s still a lot of room for growth,” Mike Hartwell says. He says knockoff brands have been developed in recent years that have avoided patent infringement, but haven’t been able to price out the DrizzleStik, which retails for roughly $15. “With the relationships we’ve made and the price point we’ve made, they can’t beat us,” he says. C r a ig A s k in s : C r e a t e s i t e m s t o e n h a n c e t r a i n i n g Craig Askins has spent more than 20 years creating products to enhance sports training. It all started when Askins helped develop the Exer-swim, a belt that attaches to a pool wall, giving resistance to swimmers. It serves triathletes who train for open water swims and want continuous motion without pushing off a wall. Askins, from Brighton, continues to invent and sell niche products through his company. Lane Gainer Sports (www.lanegainer.com). “In the very beginning, I was bright-eyed and imagined that it would be easy. Then reality set in,” Askins says. “It’s a small business, and niche businesses are tough to keep going. We just hung in there and kept growing. You always hope one product sells millions. We haven’t hit that yet, but we’ve done a stable of steady products.” Coaches from the University of Michigan sometimes ask Askins for help training their athletes. University of Michigan women’s track coach James Henry wanted a product that provided resistance out of the starter blocks, so Askins built the Bullet Belt (www.bullet belt.com) roughly six years. Askins recently designed the Halo Swim Bench (www.HaloSwim- Training.com) for U-M women’s swimming coach Jim Richardson. Richardson says the device trains swimmers to repeat a position SEE ASKINS,C2 B r ig h to n T o w n sh ip re s id e n t M ik e H a r tw e l l , se en h e re on H u n tm o re G o l f Club, is a c o - fo u n d e r o f th e D r iz z le S t ik , a p ro te c ts g o lf clubs f rom th e rain. a ra in y d a y a t th e g o l f um b re l la th a t Doug T a y lo r has in v e n te d th e g am e o f ice soccer.

D o u g T a y lo r : C r e a t o r o f ic e s o c c e r More than 13 years after receiving the patent for his version of ice soccer, Brighton Township’s Doug Taylor still is fighting to gain acceptance for the sport. Taylor, 64, who invented the game for a winter party in 1987 and got his patent in 1994, is encouraged by the latest development. The Traverse City Castaways chose ice soccer as its showcase fundraiser. Twenty former “Survivor” participants played an exhibition game on June 9, raising money for local charities. “You’ve got to overcome some perceptions to get it accepted. This event in Traverse City will go a long way to do it,” he says. Organizer Tammy Schuster says the Survivors “had a blast.” “It is something we would chose to do again,” she says. “It’s fast-paced. It’s fdn. It’s definitely a workout.” Taylor launched the company, Taylor Sports LLC, to sell his D-GEL shoe-boots, designed for high traction on ice, and the Boot’r, a pillow-like ball that allows “controllable and sustainable play.” Both are available from his Web site, www.icesoccer.com.

Ifyle Schwulst founded Electro Jet in Whitmore Lake in 2003, an engineering design firm that patented electronic fuel injection systems for small engines. These systems help lower emissions and generate more power, a winning combination for ATV, motorcycle and boat racers. Working as an inventorentrepreneur is hardly a glamorous life, operating out of a basement or small shop with little or no budget for things like marketing or advertising, but their efforts are admirable. Taking a product fix)m their minds to the masses can be a daunting, expensive challenge. Hamburg Township resident James Paradise, the creator of the Glove Grabber, never believed the warning that it takes three years to generate a viable product. “I thought, ‘It’s a great product. It’s $5. It’s going to fly’ But some days there’s nothing going on,” he says. Navigating the patent process can take more than a year. And finding someone to make it cheap enough can be fi"ustrating. Both Paradise and Mike Hartwell, a Brighton Township resident who helped design the DrizzleStik, a golf umbrella, say they originally wanted their products made in America but settled for China. “I ran into problems in the U.S. Nobody could make it fi’om start to finish. Elverybody tries to get their cut. It C A M E R O N FROM Cl F is h in g k a y a k a l l o w s y o u t o s t a n d , c a s t In less than nine months, Cameron says he’s sold several hundred boats, mostly to fishermen in Florida and Michigan. He sells the $1,900 boat through retail giants Bass Pro Shops, L.L. Bean and Cabela’s and his Web site, www.freedomhawkkayaks. com. He calls it the “holy grail” of fishing kayaks. “It is unique enough that we’ve had people take notice of it,” Cameron says. “We have the ultimate fishing kayak.” Cameron says the trick was to design something streamline enough to please paddling purists, yet stable enough for standing and casting. The original design had a complicated system of pulleys to open the outriggers to 45 degree angles to form a “sporting platform.” The final version features two levers. The outriggers, which have waterproof storage bins in them, pop off for ease of transportation or storage. Fishermen can use a twopiece push pole to propel through the water quietly. Cameron is working on 16- foot version for two people. “It’s almost like a water bike,” Cameron says. “It’s great for skinny (shallow) water fishing to get to places you can’t go with a larger boat.” Hamburg Township’s Scott Szalay uses the kayak to flyfish the Huron River and small bodies of water in Livingston County like Appleton and Bishop lakes. “Standing up, you can better cast,” says Szalay, a research instrument maker at the University of Michigan. “You can get your line off the water. It reaUy aids in that. At water level (in a normal kayak), you aren’t able to look down into the water. With polarized glasses, you can get a good view of what’s going on under the water.” Jason Deegan can be reached at ideegan&livingstoncommunity news.com or at 810-844-2012.

Inventor's Gyro Swing lands him spot on Golf Channel B Y J A S O N D E E G A N N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r The “man room” is where it all happens for Larry Kelly. Kelly, 50, a commercial real estate agent fi’om Brighton Township, loves to hunker down in the spare room off his garage to watch sports on TV, smoke cigars and invent things with his tools. “It’s my favorite room in the house,” he says. Over the last decade, he’s tinkered with dozens of ideas for products. His latest invention, the Gyro Swing, landed him on The Golf Charmel as one of 100 product inventors to be featured on a show called “Fore Inventors Only” scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. July 10. The Golf Channel interviewed and auditioned more than 1,100 people about their products. Gyro Swing is a swing training aid that utilizes a gyroscope motor attached to the end of a 3-wood club shaft that automatically places the club on plane. Kelly, a member of Oak Pointe Coxmtry Club as a 7- handicap golfer, says he’s spent $10,000 to enhance the product with an engineering team and is setting up a Web site. Golfers hit a switch that turns on a motor inside the head of the club. The club reacts if you take it off line and helps golfers find “the slot,” the magic position that gives the golf swing power and accuracy. Kelly says after using it the first time he hit the “purest” bucket of balls in his life. Soon after, he says he shot a 71 on the Honors course at Oak Pointe (and has since duplicated it three more times). Kelly hopes a successful launch will give him more opportunities to develop other costs three times as much to make it here,” Paradise says. Hartwell says he regularly makes conference calls in the middle of the night to work with his manufactiu-ers and potential customers around the world. “We are just trying to make the best use of a global economy,” he says. And they’re all trying to make the sports world a better place, one invention at a time. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@livingstoncommunity news.com or at 810-844-2012. G O L F FROM C l G lo v e a ls o u s e d f o r o t h e r s p o r t s , a c t i v i t i e s day’s refined product, which received its official patent in July 2006. Paradise recently was se lected by The Golf Channel as one of 100 product inventors to be featured on a show called “Fore Inventors Only” scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. July 10. The Golf Chaimel interviewed and auditioned more than 1,100 people about their products. Paradise, 48, a mortgage broker with Home Loan Specialists in Hamburg Township, says he sold 50,000 Glove Grabbers last year. “There’s not a lot of money in it, enough to keep it going,” he says. “That makes me smile. I did it with no advertising.” The future of the Glove Grabber lies in its across-theboard appeal. Paradise has found customers in any sport that features a glove - bowling, weight lifting, baseball and softball. He’s even exploring their value to people in wheelchairs. “Every time I show someone one, they say, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ It is so simple,” he says. T A Y L O R FROM C l L a c k o f ic e t im e s lo w s g r o w t h “The whole thing is to create an understanding and awareness that this not a bogus sport,” he says. He says the resistance he faces happens with all new ideas, from snowboarding (ski hills originaUy banned it) to ice cream. “When chocolate ice cream was introduced, it was rejected. It was a dirty color,” he says. The cost and lack of available ice time also are concerns. “This has been a laborious undertaking. I need a staff of three people and an infusion of $100,000,” 'Taylor says. GOLF CALENDAR ■ J u l y 21, F o u r th a n n u a l S p e c ia l O lym p ic s o u t in g . Hawk Meadows, 410 East Marr Road.
