Cl IN BRIEF Fire station funding may get August vote Firefighters have asked the Hamburg Township Board of 'R-ustees to place a $3.5 million proposal for a new fire station on the Aug. 8 primary election ballot. The station would be located on four to five acres on M-36 in the eastern portion of the township. It would replace the nearly 60-year-old Station 12 on Stone Street in the old village. The Stone Street station is too small for today’s tankers and equipment and makes it difficult for foefighters to respond safely and quickly to fire calls, which increase in number every year, said Capt. Dan O’Sullivan. The new station would be a minimum of 10,000 square feet and contain five drive-through bays. The board is expected to call a special meeting to approve ballot language in time for the May 16 filing deadline for the August ballot. If approved, the bond issue would allow the township to levy an additional tax of .304 mills. This would cost the owner of a $250,000 home assessed at $125,000 an additional $55 a year if the bonds are retired in 10 years or $37 a year if they are retired in 20 years.

Library Director Kathleen Zaenger said a citizens group coordinating the effort has gone on the road with presentations and she has received a number of inquiries. “So far, it’s going very well,” she said. “All the feedback we’re getting is very positive.” Voters in the library district - which includes all of residents within the boundaries of the Howell Public Schools district except for those in Putnam Township - will be asked to consider a $13.76 million bond issue to add wings to the east, west and north sides of the library. The library board also is asking for its first override of the 1978 Headlee Tax Limitation Amendment, which mandates that a taxing unit “roll back” its tax rate when property values rise faster than inflation. An override would allow the Ubrary to keep its voter-approved tax rate of 1 mill. The owner of a home with a market value of $200,000 would pay about $52 more per year in library taxes - about $139 in total - if both measures are approved. Voters approved a 22,000- square-foot expansion of the library in 1988 which was com- i m r-1 i-n rpleted in 1991, bringing the total I N S I D E square footage to 31,000. The _________ ,___ bond issue for the 1991 library addition expires this year, so it seemed a logical time to ask for an expansion totaling another 18,400 square feet, Zaenger said. If approved, the Ubrary would break ground in spring 2007 and complete the expansion in fall 2009, Zaenger said. The library would not move out of its site during construction.

Anna has accepted a scholarship to play at Madonna University. Seizing a second chance Fowierville volleyball star turns around her life BY JASON DEEGAN N ew s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Wl[hen Anna Zorn needed it most, volleyball came to her rescue. Having just moved to Fowierville as a seventh-grader in 2000, Zorn needed direction. The then-12-year-old had become increasingly truant and her grades were slipping. She and her older sister, AmeUa, had been living in a motel for more than three years, according to family and friends, watching their parents slip deeper into substance abuse. Not only did volieyball give Anna something to focus on, it ultimately afforded her a new life. The sport would introduce her to Kathy DeTroyer, the seventh-grade volleyball coach at Fowierville Junior High School at the time. DeTroyer would eventually adopt the girls as their legal guardian, providing the stability their birth parents could not. Despite the struggles to adjust to a new family and the sudden death of their mother, Anna and Amelia Zorn eventually found a home with DeTroyer. Anna, now a 17-year-old senior at Fowierville High School, will graduate JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Fowierville senior Anna Zorn bumps the ball, showcasing the form th a t earned her a scholarship to Madonna University. She will graduate in June with five school records. in June with a 3.7 grade-point-average. This fall she will play volleyball at Madonna University, after an outstanding high school volleyball career that includes five school records. Family and fidends marvel at how far she’s come in overcoming the obstacles life tossed in her path. “Every time I see them or talk to them, I cry,” says their aunt, Carrie Giaier, who lives in Clarkston. “I can’t believe that they have made it. Part of me questions how could these kids make it with what they’ve been through? They are survivors.” Anna said her dreams have come true with a college scholarship. “When I moved here, I just switched gears,” she said. “It made me look later on in life. I’m still kind of in awe. I can’t wait until next year.” There was a time when the future wasn’t so bright. Growing up fast Nothing ever came easy to the Zorn sisters. The family never had much money. Both parents struggled with drug and alcohol abuse, according to the girls and other family members. Amelia Zorn said she often acted as Anna’s mom. “My dad worked construction,” Amelia recalled. “He was gone before we woke up. My mom would be at home all'day by herself. Usually mom SEE ZORN, A2 New life for bridge proposal Granholm, legislators agree on funding for Latson project BY TOM TOLEN N ew s S t a f f R e p o r t e r The proposed Latson Road bridge - a major component in the overall goal of getting a new 1-96 interchange at Latson Road - has been given new life with an agreement between Gov. Jennifer Granholm and legislators on where to use $80 milUon in state grants to local agencies. The verbal agreement still needs approval by the Republican-controlled Legislature, but Livingston County Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine is confident it will be approved. According to state Rep. Chris Ward, R-Brighton Township, a factor instrumental in getting the $7.5 million was the help of Congressman Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, who earlier was able to ft'ee $8 million to $10 milhon of federal money for the project. The $80 million, if approved, would be used to leverage up to $320 million in federal road funds beginning this construction season statewide. Granholm had earlier balked on the proposed road package, in line with her philosophy of maintaining existing roads rather than building new roads and expanding the state highway system. But the governor, anxious to create 7,100 construction jobs over the next two years, relented last week. Craine said the upshot of the agreement is that it will not only create $7.5 million for construction of a bridge over 1-96 but also will take the Latson Road interchange project off the back burner. “The whole thing will go back in the (Michigan Department of 'Itansportation) plan, not necessarily the five-year plan, but the long-range plan,” Craine said. The project - which would provide Livingston County with its first full interchange between Brighton and Howell - was taken off MDOT’s fiveyear plan in 2003. The only interchange between the county’s two largest communities is a partial one serving westbound traffic about a mile east of Latson Road at Lake Chemung. Craine hopes the overpass can be accomplished sometime in 2008. He said that construction of the SEE BRIDGE, A2 3 funny guys to raise funds Trio tops auditions for HERO of Comedy competition, part of June Hamburg benefit BY LEANNE SMITH N ew s S t a f f R e p o r t e r By day, Chris Young works for a company that sells machine parts. Some nights, he deals with the hassles of the workday by telling jokes. This routine worked pretty well for the Unadilla Township resident Tuesday night, earning him one of three finalist spots in a comedy competition that’s part of this summer’s inaugural Hamburg Family Rm Fest. Dan Spehar of Ann Arbor and Michael Evitts, a Pinckney Community High School graduate who attends Eastern Michigan University, took the other two spots at the auditions, which were hosted by Hamburg Township’s Zukey Lake Tavern. The winning trio will square off Saturday, June 17, from 6-9 p.m. in the HERO of Comedy competition in Hamburg Township’s Manly Bennett Memorial Park. It’s part of a June 15-18 festival to raise funds for the Hamburg Enhanced Recreation Organization. The winner there gets $300; $150 and $50 go to second and third place, respectively. “I do open-mic nights,” said Young, who lives in the tiny community of Plainfield. “It’s my therapy.” Like Saturday Night Live’s Chris Farley, some of Young’s comedy pokes fun at his large stature. Other jokes are derived from mishaps on his honeymoon trip to Jamaica, which doesn’t seem to bother his wife, Angela, too much.

ZORN FROM A1 F o w le r v i l le s e n io r o v e r c o m e s t o u g h c h i ld h o o d was doing something along the lines of drinking. I guess I kind of helped raise Anna. My parents were preoccupied. There wasn’t much of a childhood for me. I had fun, but I had to be a grown-up.” Amelia said the girls would sleep in the main room of their motel suite, while their parents slept in the bedroom. Anna said she had the school bus driver drop her off a block away for fear her classmates might see where she Uved. “It was much harder (than hying in a house),” she said. “You can’t invite your friends over to your house. You don’t make friends as easily. You learn to live with the surroundings.” Giaier said the girls grew up without simple things like a family car or heat. She would bring them groceries, but never money for fear it would be spent on other things. “The most important thing is they had each other,” Giaier said. “That’s why their relationship is the way it is. They clung to each other in the worst of times.” A new life After leaving their parents, the Zorn girls lived with an aunt in Fowlerville for a short time before moving into another home with a young couple. That’s when DeTroyer, who is single, agreed to take in the girls. She became the girls’ legal guardian in April 2001. “I always said that Kathy was our guardian angel,” (Jiaier said. “She was sent to us from a higher being. She has helped the girls become who they are.” The girls faced a setback early on with DeTroyer. In November that first year, the girls’ mother died of a heart attack after years of alcoholism, accord- T h e y a r e b o t h o v e r a c h i e v e r s .

Amelia said it was hard for her sister to adjust to a new family without her mother. DeTroyer, who works on the agency staff at the State Farm Insurance office in Fowlerville, remembers that Anna wouldn’t come out of her room. “She was a recluse,” DeTroyer said. “I have a large family and we’re always together. Anna wasn’t used to that.” Anna hardly resembled the popular, athletic, confident girl DeTroyer knows today. “I didn’t want to talk to anyone,” Anna recalled. “I wanted to do my own thing. I wanted to reflect. I missed my mom and dad, but I knew I didn’t want to be with them.” The girls’ father, who still lives in the Brighton area, said he was proud of his daughter’s scholarship but declined any other comment for this story. The girls said they rarely talk with him. “We see him every once in a while,” Anna said. Amelia, 20, is attending Lansing Community College and works as a bus driver’s aide for the Livingston Educational Service Agency. She said she still loves her dad. “He knows, and we know, we’re where we are supposed to be,” she added. On the court Anna and Amelia took immediately to volleyball for comfort and new friends in Fowlerville. Anna, on varsity since her sophomore year, eventually became very close to Michelle Hardenbrook, Fowlerville’s current varsity coach. “Volleyball kind of set us on the right path, along with Kathy,” Anna said. “It rounds you as a person. I learned discipline and how to work hard.” Anna proved to be a versatile talent, playing outside hitter in middle school before moving to defensive specialist as a high school freshman. Hardenbrook pegged her to be a libero as a senior, but Anna won the job as setter. She adjusted well enough to a new position to earn all-Capital Area Activities Conference honors and catch the eye of Madonna’s coaches. She set Fowlerville career records in digs (1,343), aces (169) and games played (392), and set a season record for games played (146) and aces (71). “She’s been my captain for two years,” Hardenbrook said. “In a leadership role, she does great.” DeTroyer, currently Fowlerville’s varsity softball coach, can’t help but gush with pride when talking about her adopted daughters. “They are both overachievers. Anna, especially, has come a long way,” DelVoyer said. “Socially it was hard for her to get close to anyone. She lost her mom at a young age. She was close to her mom and misses her today. It has taken an adjustment. “She’s done well in school. Athletically, she’s a leader. Everything she’s done, it was a battle.” A battle the Zorn girls appear to be winning.

BRIDGE FROM A1 T o t a l p r o j e c t c o s t e s t im a t e d a t $ 3 4 m i l l io n bridge is an important component of the overall interchange project and should spur other initiatives toward the rest of the puzzle. The next step in the process, Craine said, is paving of Nixon Road south of 1-96 to connect with Latson Road, along with right-of-way purchase. He is hopeful that also will happen within the next two years. The final step would be construction of the interchange itself. The total project has been pegged at an estimated $34 million, Craine said, with $16 million for actual construction, $11 mil- Uon for right-of-way acquisition and $7 million for the bridge.

MILLAGE FROMM L ib r a r y 's s e r v ic e p o p u la t io n u p 7 0 % s in c e 1 9 9 1 sprouting around the district. Robin Rogers-Reef, cochairwoman of the citizens group, str e ssed the importance of voters understanding both the bond issu e - which would pay for the building expansion - and the Headlee override which would fund library operations. “It’s very important that we get both,” she said. “We do realize that the district is growing, but the library use is growing at a much higher rate.” Since 1991, the library's service area population has grown by 70 percent. Circulation has outpaced that, rising by 267 percent, officials said. Meanwhile, it does not appear that an anti-tax group will actively oppose the library measure, but the group’s founder who lives in the library district said he does not support it. “I think their funds are adequate with what they have,” said Bill Johnston of the Concerned Taxpayers Group. “I question what they’re doing.” Johnston said the group, which actively opposed last year’s countywide school enhancement millage, does not have time to rally opposition to the library project. Rogers-Reef said members of the anit-tax group have attended information sessions and have requested information about library budgets. She welcomes the scrutiny. “I think it’s great when people look into what they’re voting for,” she said. The original stone structure of the library building was completed 100 years ago and the Friends of the Library volunteer group c e le brates its 50th anniversary this year as well. “The library in Howell is very near and dear to people in the Howell area,” Rogers-Reef added. “It’s really renewed my faith in community.” Casey Hans can be reached a t chans@livingstoncommunitynews .com or a t 810-844-2005. G R A N P R I V K R A V B W O B COURTESY, HOWELL CARNEGIE DISTRia LIBRARY This architectural site plan shows shows the original library building, the 1991 addition as well as three new wings proposed to be added to the Howell Carnegie District Library if voters in the library district approval a $13.7 million bond issue on May 2. The library board also is asking voters to override the effects of the Headlee Amendment, returning a previously approved 1 mill of operating revenue for 20 years. Proposed library improvements A $13.76 million bond issue is proposed by the Howell Carnegie District Library and will be considered by voters who live in the district on May 2, as well as an override of the Headlee Amendment for operations. Some planned library improvements include: ■ An 18,400-square-foot addition to the current 31,000- square-foot building.That includes a new north entrance on Clinton Street, although the main entrance will remain on Grand River Avenue. ■ More books, DVDs, CDs and computers, including a computer lab, plus more study rooms, a new public meeting room and more seating, including a quiet area. ■ Renovations of heating/cooling, lighting and fire safety systems and expanded parking and landscaping on a vacant lot northeast of the library.The property - about half of a former lumber company site - would be used as a construction staging area before the lot is completed. ■ 24/7 access to pick up/drop off materials in the current building and at four satellite locations including the community partnership wing of the new Parker High School. ■ Coordinating a volunteer library delivery program for shut-ins.

Putnam asks voters for new facilities Nearly 1 -mill tax would pay for new township hall, senior center and fire station on 11 acres BY LEANNE SMITH N ew s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Conducting 21st-century business in a 19th-century building is no way to run a township, according to Putnam Township officials who must do just that every day. Stopping traffic on M-36, which is traveled by more than 15,000 cars a day, to back a fire truck into its station isn’t safe, firefighters say. And using an elementary school classroom to serve a segment of the population that’s expected to grow by about 3,000 people in the next decade is nearly impossible, says Pinckney’s senior center director. These issues could disappear, though, if voters approve a 25- year, $5 million bond issue, on Putnam Township’s Tuesday election ballot, said Supervisor Dick Knopf. “We’re not looking for palaces,” Knopf said. “We just want low-maintenance, high-efficiency, functional buildings that will serve the people of this township.” The nearly 1-mill tax would pay for a new township hall, senior center and fire station on 11 acres already owned by Putnam Township on M-36 west of Pinckney. The estimated average annual millage to retire the bonds is 0.9125 mills, which would cost the owner of a $200,000 home assessed at $100,000 about $91 per year. The estimated levy in 2006 is 0.8802 mills, or $88, for the same homeowner. Judy Hollister, wife of late Putnam Township Supervisor Bob Hollister, is leading a citizens’ group that supports the new facilities. “This was a project Bob felt strongly about,” she said. “People at the township have to stagger their hours because if everyone showed up there at the same time, it would be bedlam.” / ' l : JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Putnam Township officials currently work in tig h t quarters, prompting them to approach voters Tuesday, asking for approval of a bond issue to build a new township hall, senior center and fire station. Zoning Administrator Pat Carney, seated at left, works with a resident while Clerk Sally Guyon, above left, goes through files and Supervisor Dick Knopf is seated using the top of a filing cabinet as a work station. Squeezed for space Knopf, Clerk Sally Guyon and Zoning Administrator Pat Carney share one office that also houses a refrigerator, coffee maker and township hall’s only bathroom. “If someone comes to see one of us, they end up seeing all of us,” Knopf said. “That’s not good in some cases, especially if you are dealing with confidential information. And if people want to file a complaint about a neighbor, they shouldn’t have to do it in front of everyone.” The 1,000-square-foot building at 131 S. Howell St. in downtown Pinckney that houses the township hall was built almost 123 years ago. When officials moved there in 1950 Putnam Township’s population was 830. By the end of last year, it was nearly 6,000 people. Space is so scarce, that excess files are stacked on top of filing cabinets or put in boxes stacked in front filing cabinets, Guyon said.

We would lose pretty much everything.” Township meetings take place in a 600-square-foot annex at 122 S. Howell St., but if attendance exceeds the 65 persons allowed by fire codes, the township moves them to Pinckney Elementary School. A new township hall would provide private office space, safe and adequate storage, room for meetings and facilities for public gatherings, Knopf said. It also would provide one central location for the township’s four voting precincts, Guyon said.

Source: Putnam Township nior Center, which has been bounced around from location to location and has been in a single 25-foot-by-40-foot classroom at Village Education Center, 125 Putnam St. since 2001. A permanent home would mean seniors could have rooms for games, computers and exercise, said Cindy Kaye, director. ‘The se people have supported this community all their lives,” Kaye said. “They deserve a place where they can sociahze and stay active and have things to look forward to doing.” Participation in Livingston County’s Senior Nutrition Program at the center also is growing, Kaye said. Up to 25 people attend daily from Pinckney, Putnam Township, Gregory and other outlying areas, she said. Room to grow Ten vehicles and 37 on-call firefighters operate out of a 2,000-square-foot fire station at 1066 E. M-36. When an alarm sounds, some firefighters must put their gear on in little more than a foot of space behind, the largest tanker. Others dress in the small space between vehicles. “It’s a situation where seconds can mean a difference in saving people or their homes,” said Putnam Township Fire Chief Greg Amburgey. The current station, built in 1973, sits on a floating foundation on a ridge overlooking wetlands, so expansion is impossible. All trucks must back into the inside bays, so traffic is stopped on M-36 every time they come back from a run, which causes a traffic safety issue, Amburgey said. Today’s multiuse fire trucks allow departments to save money by using one vehicle for several jobs, but these trucks are larger than older models. Putnam’s Tanker 51, a 36-foot-long, 2,500-gallon pumper currently squeezes into a 42-foot bay. The department already has made 45 more runs than it did by this time last year, and Amburgey expects the 2006 total to be around 500 runs. A new station with drivethrough bays and room to grow would make things safer for everyone and possibly result in cheaper insurance ratings for residents, Amburgey said. Also on Tuesday, voters will be asked to renew 1.1923 mills for three years for fire department operations. It would cost the owner of a $200,000 home assessed at $100,000 about $119. It would generate $375,400 in 2006.

W ith su p p o rt from : Care Choices A 4 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 2006 IN BRIEF Brighton Township Wilkinson seeking treasurer recall Former Brighton Township trustee Ken Wilkinson has filed proposed language with the Livingston County Clerk’s office for the recall of Township Treasurer Geri Harmon. He said he also would file similar language for * the recall of Supervisor H.E. . “Bud” Prine. According to County Election Supervisor Joan Runyan, a hearing on the Harmon filing is scheduled for May 12 before the County Election Commission. The purpose of the hearing will “ be to determine that the lan- L guage on the petitions is clear and understandable. I Wilkinson alleges that Harmon ’ has shown “gross neglect of duty” for, among other allegations, M - ■; ing to disburse collected personal * property tax partial payments to local units of government. If the language on the petitions j is approved, Wilkinson would have 120 days to obtain and submit the signatures of at least 1,823 registered township voters. The figure is based on 25 percent of those who voted for governor in the 2002 election. Runyon said WiUdnson would have until Aug. 4 to submit the signatures in order to get the recall on the Nov. 7 ballot.

Howell Deal lets city use armory for events The city has approved an operating agreement with the state Department of Military and Veteran Affairs for use of the Howell Armory for recreation programs. The agreement was approved Monday by the Howell City Council. The agreement was made to allow the city more flexibility in scheduling sports programs, practices and events, said Eric Reikel, director of the Howell Parks & Recreation Department. Other functions, such as enrichment classes and special events, might also be scheduled at the facility. The city will pay the agency $10 per hour for the time it uses the building. Recreation panel extended to millage The City Council has agreed to continue ffie operation of the Howell Parks & Recreation Commission imtil voters in four area communities decide whether to pass a recreation millage in August. The Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority, made up of the city and the townships of Marion, Oceola and Genoa, will ask for dedicated 1 mill for recreation in those communities. But City Council Member Donald Miller cautioned Monday that if a millage does not pass, the city will not likely be able to provide the same level of recreation services that it now offers to the general area. “I really believe recreation is important,” he said. “But I don’t want people to get the impression that recreation will continue as it has in the past if the millage doesn’t pass.” According to officials, in a $1.15 million recreation budget, the city pays $600,000 per year; Marion pays $63,000; Genoa. $54,300; and Oceola, $58,000, although the department services residents of those community equally. City negotiating development deal The city has begun negotiating an agreement with developer Norbert Boes for the Victoria Station mixed-use development downtown.

The shears are about 32 inches long and have black and orange handles. Police hope this new information will generate tips that will lead them to those responsible for the damage. Evidence in vandalism Shears, photo found at Plainfield Cemetery BY SUSAN L. OPPAT N ew s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Unadilla Township Police are hoping a pair of pruning shears and a photograph of a cat will be clues that lead to the arrest of vandals who smashed more than a hundred stone grave markers at the Plainfield Cemetery last fall. The shears and photo were found at the scene, but this is the first time police have publicly released any information about the two items. The vandalism occurred Oct. 15 at the 161-year-old cemetery on M-36 north of Gregory. Police said the vandals caused more than $21,000 in damage, including smashing 150-year-old markers for Civil War veterans. Sgt. David Russell said the pruning shears were left jammed into a tree. They are about 32 inches long and have black and orange handles. The photograph is of what appears to be a Birman cat, a twoor three-color Persian-looking breed. The words “Crack Reform” and “SMILES” were handwritten on the back of the photograph. The photograph also had “Printed by Sony” on the back. Russell said the 108 stone markers that were damaged were smashed. The stones, he said, are “irreplaceable.” Township Supervisor Jim Peterson said volunteers have been using a special epoxy made specifically for repairs to headstones to put the markers back together, but pieces of some stones were never found. He said they’re still working on about 14 of the stones. He said the cemetery association and private citizens are offering a $1,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the vandalism. Russell said he hopes someone who may not even know he or she has crucial information will recognize the shears or the cat in the photo, and call police at 734-498-2325 or e-mail him at police (gunadillapolice.org. “It’s so thoughtless. People are just sick when something like this happens,” Russell said.

Kull, who has been the executive officer of the Home Builders Association of Livingston County for the past 13 years, is stepping down from the job May 19. Her husband, who is a builder, already has made the move to a northern suburb of Dallas and Kull will join him later next month. The couple lived in that area during the mid 1980s but moved back to Michigan, where Kull was raised. “We fell in love with Livingston County and liked the small-town atmosphere of Howell,” says Kull. “We had an acreage and were in commuting distance to so many cities, and it has been a great place to raise our daughter.” Kull says she has not been surprised by the amount of growth and the location of much of the growth in the county over the last decade. “I thought it would grow along US-23 and the 1-96 corridor and it has,” says Kull. “I expected M-36 to grow faster than 'I t 's im p o r t a n t t h a t g r o w t h b e h a n d l e d p r o p e r l y a n d t h a t s e r v i c e s k e e p u p .

It’s an undiscovered jewel with all that acreage and freeway access.” She says she probably won’t recognize M-59 when she comes back to visit because of the ongoing growth along that highway. An indicator of the county’s growth during Kull’s reign at the HBALC is the increased membership of the organization which has gone from 320 members in 1993 to 440 members. There was one part-time employee when Kull started and now there are four full-time employees. The Cavalcade Tour, the Remodelor’s Expo, the Women’s Council, and the Land Use Council have all grovni or come into being during the last decade. The HBALC’s Board of Directors has begun a search to find a replacement. Resumes may be sent to executivesearch@hbalc.com. Kull hopes to find a similar position in the Dallas area.

The affected townships are Hartland, Genoa, Oceola and Brighton, as well as Milford Township in Oakland County. The line would go from the Genoa substation north of Grand River Avenue and east of Latson Road in Genoa Township to a DTE substation on General Motors Proving Grounds property near the Livingston-Oakland County line.M ore than 100 people attended the Monday night meeting at Hartland Middle School, with all of about 20 people telling officials of their unwavering opposition to 100- foot high transmission lines in their neighborhoods. Similar meetings were held the same night in the other affected townships. Hartland Township would be most affected by the power lines, which would go through nearly eight miles of township land - much of it along M-59 - before turning south onto Pleasant Valley Road and into Brighton and Milford townships. “We’re not going to make (Hartland) a premier community by looking down (M-)59 and seeing a a river of wires,” said Joe Petrucci, a Hartland Township trustee. GM and Detroit Edison asked for the transmission line, but ITC representatives said it primarily would serve residential and commercial needs in the affected townships. But Hartland Township Treasurer Kathie Horning disagreed. “I believe General Motors has asked for this, and we’re going to pay,” she said. “The (transmission) line is a real critical grid upgrade,” said DTE spokesman Len Singer. “(Without the upgrades) there can be low voltage situations or rolling blackouts,” Singer said. He added that the 120-KV lines would result in “redundancy: Now we don’t have that extra capacity in the Hartland area,” Singer said. Hartland Township recently approved an ordinance requiring any utility planning to extend new lines in the township to bury them underground, unless they can be placed on existing poles. ITC officials said that would be very expensive, costing an additional $30 million over and above the e s timated $15 million price tag for above-ground lines, a charge that would be passed on to ratepayers. While favoring the cheaper overhead lines, the officials conceded that underground lines would result in fewer failures. Officials told the audience they looked at potential routes other than through Hartland for the lines, including ones which would have bypassed the township altogether, but said the route going through Hartland was the most feasible. “It was a combination of factors,” said ITC spokeswoman Lisa Aragon. “We tried to be the least impacting (on residential neighborhoods), and the line (as planned) will pass by two DTE substations, which takes some of the burden off the existing stations.” ITC representatives said underground lines are normally installed only in densely populated urban areas and where physical limits such as tall buildings preclude installation of aboveground lines. Placing the lines underground would delay the project two years, resulting in more blackouts in a system that hasn’t seen a major upgrade in 30 years, ITC Community Relations Director Donna Zalewski said. In that same time frame, she said, the area’s population has tripled. “We’re seeing a paradigm shift, from a rural, agricultural area to an urban area,” Zalewski told the audience. Some residents expressed concern about electromagnetic fields that emanate from high-voltage power lines and their effect on health and the environment. Dena Nelson told officials her 7-year-old daughter is in remission from cancer and her family does not want the transmission line in their neighborhood. “The (high-voltage line) does not cause cancer, but it promotes cancer,” she said. ITC representatives said there is no conclusive evidence linking EMFs with any health problems. “We are very concerned about EMFs, but 30 years of research has failed to prove any conclusive evidence of a causal relationship between EMFs and cancer,” Aragon said. Residents also voiced concern about the transmission lines’ effect on property values and possible danger posed to children in cases of downed lines. ITC general counsel Daniel Oginslty said the company would take the comments from the public and discuss them with the MPSC. A date for that appearance has not been set. ITC has said it hopes to start construction this summer, but the delay caused by the Hartland ordinance has altered the timetable, which called for completion by the end of this year.

Just as the finishing touches are added to a 14,000-square-foot building at Maine and Hyne, called Alexander Place, another developer is moving forward on a 1,600- square-foot brick structure across the street on Mill Pond Lane. Both are multi-floor buildings with tenants in the wings - from a wine-tasting shop to a secondfloor restaurant and office space. Both have been designed in classic styles befitting the character of downtown Britton, said Mayor Steve Monet. “I’m really impressed by the classic style of the buildings, and it’s an example of the new development that we are bringing in with the city investment,” Monet said. That investment included nearly $2 million in improvements under a joint city-Downtown Development Authority project that widened Mill Pond Lane, buried overhead utility lines, reconfigured the adjacent city parking lot and converted the Hyne Street alley into a pedestrian walkway. The work also spurred private sector investment, including facade upgrades to the rear entrances of several stores along the lane. The newest building is under development by M.S. Muller of White Lake Township. Muller said the infirastructure improvements have “helped the buildings immensely” on West Main Street, between St. Paul and First streets. “I think they did a good job, and it’s helped revive downtown Brighton,” he said. The plan for the Mill Pond Lane building is a two-story structure directly behind Muller’s building at 344 W Main St. That existing building is the former Mona’s Place, and is set to reopen in mid-May as The Michigan Candy Co., featuring Sanders confections and the Great American Pretzel Co. Behind it, the planned new building would have an entrance on Mill Pond Lane and a lobby facing the Hyne pedestrian walkway between Main Street and Mill Pond Lane that would provide access to second-floor offices. The structure will be 1,600 square feet in size, about 800 square feet per floor. It will be built of brick with limestone accents. “There has been considerable interest in teasing space,” Muller said, with a possible tenant being a clothing store or wine-tasting shop. Muller hopes to start on the new building in mid-May and have it completed by early fall. The general contractor for the project is Monroe Construction Co. of Brighton, and its owner Joe Monroe will be the property manager. Across from Muller’s projects is the larger of downtown’s two newest buildings, called Alexander Place, owned by Don and Linda Botka. The three-story structure arose from the ashes of the Music Man and Portraits by Alex, which was destroyed by a 1999 &e. It’s hoped the impressive, three-story building (including a full basement) will be crowned by a 3,500-square-foot restaurant called “Above Main.” If approved by the city, the restaurant would be jointly owned by two husbandwife teams: The Botkas, and Bill Beitz and Gail Sherman. It would be the area’s first upperstory dining establishment, and the owners hope to open in September. The plans hinge on getting city and state approvals. Another unique aspect: Patrons would have the choice of eating in the main dining area, or on one of four balconies. Also in the plans are two bar-cocktail- lounge areas: A traditional bar and a “more comfy lounge with soft seating,” said Beitz, himself an architect with the firm JPRA Architects of Farmington Hills, which designed The Somerset Collection in Troy and other major mall projects in • «I DENTAL CARE BECAUSE WE CARE Dr. R ich a rd D o n e y 8 1 0 229-8191 8619 W. Gr. River • Brighton North America. Due to city parking requirements, the restaurant would need a variance from the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals. However, there is an abundance of nearby municipal parking: the Hyne Street, North Street and little-used Pierce Street lots. Beitz said the restaurant will have an overall goal of bringing the highest quality to a wide variety of culinary offerings. “We will specialize in fresh food, we will have a sushi night, we’ll have unique appetizers,” he said. His wife, Gail Sherman, who owns Impulse, a women’s and girls’ apparel store a block west of Alexander Place, said there is enough room in the area for everybody, including another restaurant planned for a new building at First and Main streets. “Restaurants bring foot traffic, and that’s what we need,” Sherman said, adding that if developer Stan Schafer’s restaurant at First and Main is successful, it will help businesses up and down Main Street.

Don't let someone else make your decisions for you." BY LEANNE SMITH News S ta f f R e p o rte r Change is OK with Robert Krichke, and that’s probably a good thing - since the workday he’s been accustomed to the last four decades comes to an end today. K richke, 65, is leaving his 21- year post as Hamburg Township’s police chief and ending a 43-year career in law enforcement to retire with his best friend and wife of 46 years, Barbara. “I’m used to moving all the time and I like being busy,” he said. “We’ll figure out what to do together. I think we’ll go south to a warmer climate, maybe Tennessee.” The township’s Board of Thistees has hired Career Directions of Ann Arbor to help it search for a new chief to lead Hamburg’s 15 full-time and five reserve officers. Police Lt. Brian DeNoyer, who’s worked with Krichke 17 years, will be acting chief until the position is filled. “I’m going to miss him,” DeNoyer said. “He’s been the most professional chief you’d ever want, not to mention a good fiiend.” HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Hamburg Township residents Donna Cook, left, and Linda Shultes swap stories with Police Chief Bob Krichke during a reception in his honor last week. Krichke is re tirin g , ending a 4 3 -year law enforcement career. Growing up in Detroit at a time when young men finished school and went straight to work, Krichke graduated from Cody High School and went to work for General Motors’ Cadillac plant. Even then, auto workers faced layoffs and an unstable industry. A good friend joined the Detroit Police Department and Krichke, who was newly married, thought that soimded like a good job with good benefits, so he joined, in 1962. “One of the best things he ever told me is that police work is a good job, but family and faith come first,” DeNoyer said. “It’s good advice and what I pass on to my younger officers.” Krichke’s 12-year stint in Detroit wasn’t without excitement. 'O n e o f f i c e r h e r e i s f i v e o r s i x d i v i s i o n s t h e r e / Retiring Hamburg Township Police Chief Bob Krichke, on his department versus large city departments He was on the police department’s riot squad during the city’s 1967 riots, he spent seven months in its Mounted Horse Division and grew long hair and a beard to work undercover with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency as part of Detroit’s Narcotics Division. A desire to raise their children in the country where they could have horses led the Krichkes from Detroit to Fowlerville. Krichke served as the village’s police chief for 10 years, three of which he also was its village manager. He left both those positions when Fowlerville disbanded its police department spent a brief time as a Farm Bureau insurance agent until 1985, when Hamburg Township’s police chief resigned and Krichke was asked to serve first as interim and shortly thereafter as full-time chief. While people may think his switch from the city to the country meant an easier job, Krichke said that wasn’t always the case. “You don’t have the violence a big city has, but you have to be a more well-rounded police officer,” he said. “Major cities have a different division for everything. Here, an officer called to a burglary pursues the people who committed the crime and does the investigation and interrogation. One officer here is five or six divisions there.” Krichke embarks on retirement happy with the way his career vmfolded. “People are put in different positions for a reason,” Krichke said. “I never set out to be a police chief and I’ve been one for 31 years. When doors open, don’t be too quick to ignore them or close them. Just make sure you’re making the right decision.” Leanne Smith can be reached a t lsmith@livingstoncommunitynews. com or a t 810-844-2011.

The board will interview them Monday and Tuesday. They are: ■ Cheryl Kreger, associate superintendent of the Dearborn school district, who will be interviewed at 6 p.m. Monday. ■ Jim Craig, Brighton assistant superintendent for finance, who will be interviewed at 7:30 p.m. Monday. ■ Susan Allan, assistant superintendent of the Grosse Pointe school district, who will be interviewed at 6 p.m. Tuesday. ■ George Heitsch, assistantsuperintendent of the Farmington school district, who will be interviewed at 7:30 p.m. TUesday. Thomas Shorkey, a consultant with the Michigan Association of School Boards who is helping the school board find a superintendent, worked with trustees to pick the finalists based on their ratings of all the applicants. He recommended that board members narrow down the four candidates to two finalists once all the interviews are completed. Board members rated each candidate with a grade of A, B, C, D or E, and Shorkey chose the four candidates who received the highest grades. One or two other applicants were somewhat close to the top four in the grades they received, but there was a big gap in the grades between the top group and the remaining candidates. Board member Joyce Powers, one of the toughest graders, had reasons for handing out low grades including, “They moved a lot and that’s not good.” Board member Dawn Boss gave higher grades to appficants whom she said had a broad range of experience such as teaching, coaching and central office experience. “This applicant gets involved in the community,” said board member Joe Carney, who called that a good selling point. Earlier this month the school board agreed to increase the salary range for a new superintendent to between $125,000 and $140,000. Former Brighton Superintendent Dave Pruneau earned nearly $120,000 before he took a job with the Rochester school district at the beginning of the year, creating the opening.

Bridge opens, but more roadwork is planned Whitmore Lake Road route to open, but ramp work will begin BY TOM TOLEN News S ta f f R e p o r te r Livingston County Road Commission officials say they are elated about the Whitmore Lake Road bridge reopening, which was expected to happen Vveunesday night. It had been dosed for repairs since September. But Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine cautioned motorists not to get too comfortable. The disruption from the bridge work is nothing compared to what the upcoming months will be like. The reason is that southbound US-23-Lee Road on-andoff ramps - about three miles north of the bridge - will be closed starting May 1 for construction of two roundabouts to pave the way for a new mall on the east side of US-23. “As we untie one knot we tie new ones, but when you live in a fast-growing county you have to expect that,” Craine said. The bridge project was completed ahead of schedule. The incentive to general contractor C.A. Hull of Walled Lake to beat the May 1 deadline was $650 a day. “This (bridge re-opening) unties a knot that affects US-23 traffic and traffic in and around the Brighton area,” Craine said. “I’m happy (the bridge) is opening, I use it all the time,” said Walt Ernst of Evergreen Road in Green Oak Township. Ernst, the senior representative for Livingston County on the Area Agency on Aging 1-B, said he’d next like to see a bike path along Whitmore Lake Road, which he believes people would use regularly, given the high price of gas. The Whitmore Lake Road bridge project, costing $536,000, was prompted by an inspection last fall by Michigan Department of 'Transportation engineers, who discovered deterioration of steel beams. Next on the road commission’s agenda is roundabout construction. The Green Oak Village Place mall developers - Quadrants, Redico and Lormax- Stern - are paying the $5 million cost for the improvements. The first roundabout, on the east side of US-23 at Fieldcrest, was completed last November. Craine said the southbound US-23 on-and-off ramps at Lee Road, and the overpass, will be closed for about six weeks effective May 1. He cautions that although the northbound ramps will be open during that period, traffic getting off US-23 at Lee Road will not be able to cross the bridge over US-23 and will be limited to going south on Fieldcrest. When the first westside roundabout is completed, the northbound on-and-off ramps will be closed for construction of the final roundabout. Detours will be in four stages and will be posted, Craine said. Tom Tolen can be reached a t ttolen@livingstoncommunitynews .com or a t 810-844-2009. i:;,'::-!:::___.___j i D o n ’ t M iss It!

The scouts will distribute food drive donation bags. Event chairman and Brighton Mayor Steve Monet said he hopes they’ll help the drive to surpass the 7.5 tons of food donated in 2005. Gleaners officials have said the need for donations of food and other staples is greater than ever this year because the Michigan economy is so poor. “There have been a lot of empty shelves at the Shared Harvest Food Pantry this year,” Gleaners representative Tania Maples told the Brighton City Council recently. “Each agency is seeing a 30-40 percent increase in assistance over last year.” Plus, donations “drop off considerably” during the summer, Maples said, even though there is a greater need because children are out of school. Food bank manager Erika Karfonta told the council last week that she is seeing people at the food bank who “make $9 an hour (but) need to make $15 an hour to be able to live in Livingston County.” And a Gleaner survey last year revealed that children and seniors comprise 59 percent of those who go hungry in the counly. So on Saturday Boy Scouts will be at VGs in Brighton distributing orange mesh bags that shoppers can fill with nonperishable food items and return the following Saturday, May 6, the day of the Fill the Gazebo campaign. Also on May 6, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will greet customers entering Kroger, VGs and Taorello’s in Brighton with bags that will contain a wish list of food items that participating customers can buy and then drop off in front of the store on their way out. On May 6 motorists also can drop off bags of donated food and personal care items at the Mill Pond in downtown Brighton and on State Street in downtown Howell - a new location added this year. Volunteers will collectdonations and load them onto trucks for distribution. Donation bags also can be picked up during office hours at the Brighton Department of Public Services office on South Third Street, the food bank on Sterling Drive off Dorr Road in Genoa Township, the Michigan Group office or Realtors association office, both on Grand River Avenue in Genoa Township, or by e-mailing Karfonta at ekarfonta@ gcfb.org. The food drive is co-sponsored by the Gleaners, the Livingston County Association of Realtors, the (Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce and the city of Brighton. Donated items will go to 29 local service agencies. Monet suggests parents bring their children when they drop off donated items. “Take your kids and teach them a lesson, make them realize community service is very valuable,” he said.

The United Way determined the distribution of the money based on federal guidelines, and a local board made up of human service organizations and community representatives met in March to do the work. The local Salvation Army is receiving $15,000 for rent and mortgage assistance; the Oakland Livingston Human Services Agency gets $6,000 for rent assistance; LAC ASA gets $3,500 for shelter assistance; the Gleaners Community Food Bank receives $5,583 for food; and the Knights of Columbus Council #2659 in Howell gets $2,000 for its food pantry. Erica Karfonta, general manager of the Gleaners Communi-' ty Food Bank for Livingston County said there is a 30-40 percent increase in the requests for food from the pantries in this county. “There is a growing population of the working poor in Livingston County, and the cost of living here is going up,” Karfonta said. “The average person earning $9-$12 an hour can’t get by. After rent or mortgage, people use money for utilities and medical costs. The first thing they cut back on is food.” Karfonta said that the majority of people she knows in her age bracket - the late twenties - who live in Livingston County are using the food pantries. “They all graduated from high school and some graduated from college, but you have to make at least $15 an hour in Livingston County to be able to afford rent,” she said. “There is no low-income housing. Many people move out of the county and don’t even try to work here.” Lisa Carolin can be reached a t lcarolin@Hvingstoncomrriunitynews .com o r a t 810-844-2010. • 25-hp V-Twin, air-cooled, John Deere iTorque™ Power System provides excellent power and performance, easy starts and smooth operation • Twin Touch™ automatic transmission provides comfortable two-pedal foot control for effortless speed and direction changes • 48-inch Edge™ Xtra Cutting System J o h n D e e r e 3320 W/300X LOADER + LX5 CUHER a i l E f c . v - V f - f ' horsepower • 3-Cylinder Yanmar diesel engine NEW JOHN DEERE 102 LAWN TRACTDR ^ • Exclusive 17-hp * t S f c T l John Deere Anti- L ' * - L - Vibration System single-cylinder engine mowing, and bagging 0.0% Financing"*'* STARTING AT JU S T $1,399!

Here, Homer Gross of Marion Township enjoys a warm spring day at Family Golf Inc. on Peavy Road in Marion Township. Brighton moves ahead with PSD plans, board BY TOM TOLEN News S ta f f R e p o rte r Nine Brighton business people have been named to the Principal Shopping District board for the marketing effort merchants hope will help downtown remain viable. They will now gather information to help them determine costs and other aspects of the district’s mission. The board will develop a plan and discuss it with merchants before making recommendations to the city, said Mark Binkley, a board member who, along with Pat Steele of the Downtown Brighton Merchants Association, originated the district. Binkley, of Cooper & Binkley Jewelers, said the process could take several months. “The benefits the PSD can provide to this community are substantial, but you can’t rush it through,” he said. Binkley was appointed to a three-year term on the board, as were Greg Strouse of La Bella Vita gift shop and Shawn Pipoly of Farm Bureau Insurance. Named to two-year terms were George Moses of the Marketeer, Rick Bayless of Wood ‘N Things and Linda Botka of CW Interiors. Named to one-year terms were Richard Starnes of The Vitamin Company, Gail Sherman of Impulse and Jon l\mis, the City Council liaison to the board. The council approved the appointments last week. Starnes, an opponent at past council meetings, said he is pleased that the board includes proponents and opponents. “It’s fair, and w e’re moving in the right direction,” Starnes said, saying he oppposed the funding mechanism. BinMey said a special assessment district could be used to raise money, but other options could be contributions from the Downtown Development Authority and potential grants. Starnes said funding will come down to how much the businesses can afford. “Everybody has a number in mind they can afford, so that’s what we have to find: what’s the magic number.” Hardware ■ Lighting • Shower Doors • Kitchen and Bath f .

Seeking re-election are Sue Booth and Jim Vibbart. Booth has been a trustee since 2000 and is the board’s secretary. Vibbart has served since being appointed to a vacancy in 2002 and has been the board president since 2002. Challenging the incumbents is Udo Huff, who develops technical training programs and is the father of a third-grader in the district. The candidates cite finances as a critical issue in all Michigan school districts. Udo said he decided to run for the school board in order to “use my education and technical experience for career guidance for our students.” He believes his background in business and budget administration would be valuable. Booth is vice president of her family’s plumbing and heating business. Vibbart is associate director in plant operations at the University of Michigan.

The Chinese leader’s response? “I don’t know what you mean by a democracy,” he said, adding that China would continue to develop as a “socialist democracy.” Luclg^ for us, we know what it means to live in a democracy and we have a chance in the coming week to vote in free and open elections. But even then, only a handful of us who are eligible to vote will go to the polls. Last year, a contentious countywide school millage proposal motivated more voters than usual - 24 percent of registered voters - to cast ballots. This year it’s not likely to be nearly that high. Shame on us. We live in one of the world’s great democracies, yet when it comes to voting for people who set policy for our local schools - the arm of government that affects our most precious resource - we often let a very small group of someone elses make toe decisions. This year, the election spotlight shines on the Howell area, where voters will decide important school races as well as the proposed expansion of the Howell Carnegie District Library. She candidates seek two fouryear terms on the school board. The nonpartisan election has take on the tone of a partisan race, with at least three local groups issuing endorsements. Candidates have been motivated to run for various reasons ranging from simply being asked to deep-seated opposition to recent school board action. Seeking the two school board seats are John Arthur, Wendy Day, Dennis McGuire, James Pratt, Valerie Webster and Philip Westmoreland. None is an incumbent. If you are trying to sort them all out, Arthur, Day and Pratt has been associated with the LOVE group that formed largely in opposition to the Diversity Club flag at Howell High School. McGuire and Westmoreland are running together after being asked by current school board members or district supporters to become candidates. Webster is running her own campaign. Rather than looking at who’s backing whom - even the Republican Party jumped in with some off-the-cuff endorsements - my hope is that voters will cast their ballots for who they believe is most capable for the positions. That does not necessarily mean who represents your point of view on all the issues. It means who can do the most good for all of the kids in the Howell school district. Howell voters also will decide on a proposed expansion to the library. The library board has proposed a $13.6 million bond issue to add onto the library that is becoming more popular with area residents by the hour. The project, along with a Headlee Amendment override also on the ballot, would cost toe owner of a $200,000 home about an additional $52 a year in taxes. That’s not much to pay for expanding such a valued community resource. But these are tough times for many and any added costs - on top of gasoline prices approaching $3 a gallon and some still paying off winter heating bills - will hard to handle. That’s what makes this election so important. And it’s important in every school district, not just Howell. Polls everywhere will be open 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday. Let’s show toe world we know what it means to be active participants in a democratic society.

It’s in full bloom today - on a bright yellow sign announcing the opening of another season of Powers Flowers in a greenhouse behind the Lakeland Mobil gas station. “Everyone who sees me this time of year asks if I’m ready,” said Mia Powers Rogowski, owner of Powers Flowers. “I^ e n they see me setting up, they know it’s time to get their gardens ready. They know spring is here.” Rogowski, 36, is the youngest of eight siblings. She grew up in Hamburg Township; her family home was on Zukey Lake. She attended Pinckney schools and married her Pinckney Community High sweetheart, then started a family and dreamed of working with flowers. “It’s always been my passion,” she said. “If you’re going to be successful, you have to do what you love.” Rogowski started Powers Flowers in Hamburg nine years ago. A second location has been open for eight years at US-23 and M-59 in Hartland Township. Both have become landmarks to those who love annuals, perennials, roses, vegetables, herbs, hanging baskets and patio pots.

Fowlerville’s market kicks it off Wednesday. Brighton and Hartland open May 6. Howell follows May 7 and Pinckney starts May 13. This is the fourth year for the Fowlerville farmers market. Supported by the village’s Downtown Development Authority, the market will be set up in the parking lot for the village offices, at Second Street and Grand Avenue. “We are changing the layout to accommodate more parking,” said Gwen Kato, market manager. “We’re also hoping to expand so we can offer more things to more people.” This market focuses on local items, such as bedding plants from Munsell Farms in Iosco Township and freerange poultry and eggs from Topsy Turvy Farms in Conway Township. “We try to support our local farmers and we hope people will be encouraged to shop and buy locally,” Kato said. The Brighton market, the oldest of them all, will be celebrating its 29th year. The market is held in the parking lots around the millpond at First and Cedar streets. “The area is completely renovated, so we’re looking forward to getting back to normal with no construction,” said Karen Rogers, market manager. Special events at the Brighton market include Flower Day on May 20 and Harvest Festival on Sept. 30. Both of these activities will take place on Main Street. Hartland’s market, a joint effort of the township, Hartland Consolidated Schools, Hartland Chamber of Commerce and the 4-H Rangers Club, sets up in the parking lot at the old Hartland High School on M-59. “We’re planning lots of events,” said Kathie Horning, who runs the market with Jim Sparks. “We want to make it bigger and better each year.” A flea market will operate in conjunction wdth the farmers market the first Saturday of each month. This is the 13th year for Howell’s market, which is downtown around the historic Livingston County Courthouse. The market layout is being SEE MARKETS, 83 New shelters offer Howell City Park visitors a shady treat Veterans' community project means beachgoers can get out of the sun BY CASEY HANS News S ta f f R e p o r te r Visitors to Howell’s City Park are in for a treat - and a bit of shade - this summer. After the park closed for the season, area veterans and their families got busy erecting two shelters near the busy beach area. Both are now complete and, adorned with benches provided by the city. are ready to greet visitors when the park opens for the season Saturday, May 27. The project was the brainchild of Chauncey Grimes, a Marine veteran and longtime Howell-area resident whose wife, Shirley, and a friend inspired the project. Shirley Grimes and Roberta Shultz took their grandchildren to the park one summer day in 2003 for a cool dip in Thompson Lake. As the kids frolicked in the water, the two grandmothers found themselves sweltering beachside, looking for some shade. “Our grandkids were in the 'I th in k it's g re a t th a t th e v e te ra n s d id th is fo r th e c ity o f H o w e ll/ Shirley Grimes water and we wanted something,” Shirley Grimes said. “It was just too hot.” Two years later, Chauncey Grimes and other veterans were discussing what they could do for a community project when “a light turned on” in the veteran’s memory bank and he suggested the shelters. The project was approved by the city in July and the group was off and running. Chauncey Grimes got together with John Smarch, owner of Smarch Design Service, who helped to evaluate the project and provide designs. Grimes said. Tom Richardson, superintendent of parks and cemeteries for Howell, said the projects are now finished and ready to be enjoyed. “It’s for people who don’t want to sit in the sun all of the time. They can get in there and get out of the sun,” he said. Richardson said others have contributed structures to city parks over the years, including the Howell Rotary, May & Scofield and local families. Shelters, gazebos and play structures have been put in City Park, West Park and Baldwin Park. “The donations are always good,” he said. For this project, the veterans decided to hire the work done, but to give it to companies owned by veterans and their families.

Charlie returns to chocolate factory Junior Pinckney Players to present the play May 5-7 BY LEANNE SMITH N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r Cliarlie Bucket is an ordinary boy who spends a lot of time dreaming of the rich, creamy chocolate he loves but rarely can afford because of his family’s modest income. All that changes when he finds one of just five golden tickets hidden beneath the wrapper of an chocolate bar and sets out on a strange adventure inside Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory Eleven-year-old Evan Norton brings him to life May 5-7 in the Junior Pinckney Players production of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” “Charlie is a nice guy,” said Evan, a sixth-grader at Howell’s Three Fires Middle School. “He’s poor, but he’s always happy. He wants one of those tickets pretty bad, but he thinks his odds of getting it are pretty slim.” Stephanie Heslip and Ann Langford, co-directors of last year’s “Charlotte’s Web,” return as co-directors of this production cast entirely from the Pinckney Players’ junior members. “Seeing ‘Charlotte’s Web’ come together last year was one of the top highlights of my life,” Langford said. “Watching a COURTESY STEPHANIE HESLIP Evan Norton, back center, plays Charlie Bucket in the Junior Pinckney Players spring production of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."The cast of Oompa Loompas includes Sarah Langford, back left; Nick Boyer, back right; and Peter Heslip, front. group of kids come together and take a play from paper to the stage is an amazing thing.” Fifty children from 4-14 from throughout Livingston County and surrounding areas make up the cast of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Twenty-six of them have never been in a Pinckney Players production before. “The Pinckney Players are not a closed group where people from the outside never get a part,” Langford said. “Anyone who auditions with us has a legitimate chance of getting in.” About 168 children auditioned for parts in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” The talent pool promises that the play won’t disappoint those thrilled by last year’s performance, the first for the Junior Pinckney Players in about eight years, Heslip said. “We have a lot of very talented kids in the area,” Heslip said. “It’s nice to give them a time of their own to shine.” Heslip and Langford both love the imagination and weird humor of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” They considered doing the play last year. “We knew it was just too much for a first time,” Langford said, “ but even before we closed last year, we knew we were going to do it this year.” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” has 11 scenes, eight scene changes and special effects that have taken weeks to perfect, Heslip said. “It’s a lot of fun,” Evan said. “Charlie gets to do a lot of cool stuff.” The Junior Pinckney Players’ fast-moving colorful version of the story is a combination of the older “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” movie starring Gene Wilder and last year’s remake of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” starring Johnny Depp, said Heslip and Langford.

Because of a fire allegedly set by two South Lyon students in March that caused $400,000- $500,000 damage in the school’s auditorium, the theater group’s managing director, Jim Kroll, said he had to find another venue. “I searched four different counties, and only the BCPA was available this weekend,” Kroll said . “We are so grateful for the opportunity to perform there. “It’s beautiful, and Tom Mitchell, the manager, has been so accommodating.” “Bye Bye Birdie” is a musical about a struggling songwriter, Albert J.

Members of the group also will talk about the history of Motown, answer questions and then perform. That will be followed by the Lindbom Jump Rope Club, jumping to the music of Motown. The Brighton High School Jazz Band also will perform. and some members of the Jumpin’ All-Stars will jump to Motown songs. Renee Nix, coordinator of the Lindbom Jump Rope Club and the coach of the Jumpin’ Allstars, had the idea to invite a Motown group. “I grew up listening to Motown,” Nix said. “Each spring we have a music theme for the jump rope club, and I began to look into Motown history, and thought it would be great to ask someone connected to Motown to share their music and history with our students.” The Lindbom Jump Rope Club has invited all the students and staff from the school to enjoy the performance, which is from 1-3 p.m. Remaining tickets are on sale to the public, and can be purchased for $5 by e-mailing reneenix@ provide.net.

PHOTOS; COURTESY, CHAUNCEY GRIMES Marine Corps League volunteers Duane Brown and George Kuritar work to set posts for the two shelters built near the beach at Howell City Park last fall. The shelters, to which the city has added benches, can be used by visitors this season. Two Howell grandmas, Robert Schultz, second from left, and Shirley Grimes, far right, were the inspiration for two shelters built recently by local veterans at Howell City Park. Pictured with family members are, from left. Shannon Schultz, Roberta Schultz, Liana and Yan Grimes and Shirley Grimes. SHELTERS f r o m b i V e t e r a n s o r g a n i z e p r o j e c t adding that hiring the work ensured it would be done on schedule. Cement work was done by Holbrook Masonry, framing was done by Ed Harter, Ben Harter, Fred Hill and Randy Hill, and Marine Corps League volunteers Grimes, Duane Brown and George Kuritar helped. Some of those who inspired the project - Shirley Grimes, Roberta Schultz and grandchildren Liana and Yan Grimes and Shannon, Derek and Jason Schultz - visited the park late last year to memorialize the shelters. Signs reading “Grandma Shirley” and “Grandma Roberta” adorn each of the shelters. “We had a lot of encouragement from the locals,” Chauncey Grimes said. “We had people who walked the beach who would stop and ask ‘what are you doing?’ ” He said installing the signs was a last-minute thought, but one he ’s glad they did. The work started Oct. 3 and was finished Nov. 21. “I think it’s great that the veterans did this for the city of Howell,” Shirley Grimes said. The Howell Veterans Organization sponsored the project. Member groups include American Legion Post 141 and its auxiliary, the Sons of the American Legion Squadron 141, the American Legion Riders 141, the Veterans of Foreign Wars 3671, the American Veterans (AmVets) 362, the Vietnam Veterans of America 110, the Marine Corps League 161 and the Disabled American Veterans 125. The organization is celebrating its 10th year of community service. Member groups meet at the American Legion building at M-59 and Grand River Avenue in Howell Township.

POWERS FR OM BI S h e h a s le a r n e d f r o m c u s t o m e r s , g r e e n h o u s e o w n e r s a y s “It’s great to have a local place like this,” said Becl^ Hahn of Hamburg Township, who shops at Powers Flowers for the plants she adds each spring to the grounds of the Lakelands Golf & Country Club. “It’s a friendly place to go for quality plants.” Rogowski’s plants are Michigan grown at a Dundee-area farm owned by a family her sister married into. Whiie the farm’s primary crop is tomatoes grown for Red Gol^ a multitude of greenhouses also grow plants for Powers Flowers. “I used to work at the farm while I was in high school,” Rogowski said. “Now, I’m one of its biggest customers. I get truckloads of flowers from them daily.” The plants are started from seed in stages beginning in January to make sure supplies last through the early planting season. “It’s important to me to build trust and loyalty in customers,” Rogowski said. “I look forward to seeing everyone come back year after year, including my principal from middle school and my favorite art teacher from ninth grade.” Rogowski’s sons, Mitchell, 12, and Patrick, 11, help out at the stores. Many employees, including Maggie Redinger of Brighton and Mary Magnan and Margy McDaniel, who live in Hamburg but run the Hartland store, have been with Rogowski for years. “This is the best job in the world,” Redinger said. “Mia is so full of energy. It’s fun to see everyone leave here with a smile.” While she advises customers about the right piants for sunny, sandy, shady or damp gardens, Rogowski said shoppers teach her many things, too. “When I first opened, all the older ladies that came in bought begonias,” she said. “I never liked begonias, but after a while I realized these ladies loved them because they are the most universal annual there is. Now, I turn new gardeners onto begonias.” Powers Flowers is open ft-om 9 a.m.-8 p.m. daily in May and June. Rogowski’s passion for plants isn’t wilting and she expects to keep putting out her sign with its trademark purple daisy for years to come. “Flowers make you forget your troubles,” she said. “It’s amazing that something so beautiful can come from a little soil, sunshine and water.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@livihgstoncommunitynews. com or a t 810-844-2011. • F R E E T r i a l C la s s e s f o r A l l A g e s • T w o M a r t i a l A r t s D e m o s • C h i l d S a f e t y S e m i n a r • F o o d & D r i n k s • G a m e s & P r i z e s • D r a w i n g f o r J t r e m e B o u n c e Z o n e P a r t y ( $ 2 0 0 v a i u e ) Dexter School of JVlartial Arts 7 2 7 5 J o y R o a d N e a r t h e c o m e r o f J o y & M a s t w w w .

DeVries again pay gift forward This year's recipient is a mother who has brain cancer BY LISA CAROLIN N ew s S ta f f R e p o rte r A gift from a mother who lost her son to children whose mom has cancer is the motivation behind a benefit May 5 at the Barnstormer. There will be live music, free hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar and gift basket rafiles. The DeVries family is “paying it forward” again this year. Yvonne DeVries of Brighton Township lost her son Max in May 2004, when the 14-year-old Scranton Middle School student disappeared while jet-skiing at Aruba. Her husband George had died of a heart attack two years before that. To help rebuild her life and the life of her daughter Dominique, who is now 14, they began a fund called “Max to the Millions” (www.maxto themil- Seitz Benefit ■ W hat: A benefit at Barnstormers for cancer patient Jeannie Seitz of Hamburg Township. ■W h en: Friday, May 5, at 7 p.m. ■ Where: Barnstormers, 9411 E.M36, Green Oak Township. ■ Cost: $10. ■ D e ta ils : 810-599-5659 or at the door. hons.com) to pay back some of the kindness that has come their way from friends and people in the community. In April of 2005, in honor of Max’s birthday, they donated $15,000 to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor. Another $1,000, which they called a Gift of Love, went to a couple who had premature twins, which was Dominique’s idea because she had been born prematurely. “The couple who received the gift last year wanted to see this year’s gift be used to send underprivileged children to camp,” says Yvonne Devries. “Who is more underprivileged than kids who are losing a mom?” Devries is referring to the family of this year’s recipient, Jeannie Seitz. The 39-year-old Hamburg Township resident was diagnosed with metastatic oligodendroglioma in September 2003. It is a secondary sldn cancer that traveled to her brain. Seitz, who calls the Gift of love a “wonderful gift,” plans to use the money to send two of her three children, Matthew, 13, and Cameron, 12, students at Brighton’s Maltby Middle School, to the Blue Lake Fine Arts camp this summer. Seitz has asked Devries to give next year’s Gift of Love to someone with cancer. Lisa Carolin can be reached a t lcarolin@livingstoncommunitynews .com o r a t 810-844-2010.

I need information on the Brighton football team, or maybe the Howell hockey team. I google it. Nothing. I y^oo! it. Still nada. The phone call I’m waiting for could be hours from being returned. Then I find what I’m looking for on a link through the high school’s Web site. A team page that has everything... statistics, current record, roster, history of the program. A sports writer’s dream! Keeping up Web sites is a growing trend among prep teams. They’re a place teammates, fans and parents can gather to share photos and showcase the successes of their seasons. Unfortunately, only a few of them are really good. Coaches often are too busy with games and practices to maintain them. That’s where dedicated fans and parents with good tech skills step in. Most area teams - except at South Lyon and Fowlerville - have generic sites on the school’s home athletic Web site. But most just offer an out-of-focus team photo and a roster. Other sites, like leagueline.com and eteamz.com, host teams from around the country, but I find the pages that are built locally have the best style and charm. A tour of Livingston County’s best prep team sites is a window into the county’s most successful programs. It seems the best teams have the most spirted fans, and therefore, have the biggest need for an Internet site to trumpet their accomplishments. Here’s a look at the top 10 in no particular order: ■ www.bigdogswim.com - Brighton swimming coach Sean Hickman said the site gets more than 1,000 hits a day during the heart of the season. ■ www.livingstondirect.com/hockey - The combination of up-todate stats, game summaries and season-by-season records since 1986 are a winner, much like the Brighton hockey program. ■ bas.kl2.mi.us/~football - No football site does a better job on stats than Brighton’s, although it could use more photos. ■ www.howellhockey.com - Updated in a timely fashion, often the day after games. ■ www.ladyhighlanders.com - This Howell girls basketball page also features information on the Livingston Sting, the successful Amateur Athletic Union program run by coach Lee Piepho. ■ www.hartlandwrestling.com - The three-time Division I state runnerup has a site almost as dominant as the program. ■ www.hartlandfootbaU.com - Assistant coach David Lee makes this site hum, complete with five footage of practie driUs and sounds of collisions. ■ www.pinckneyathletes.com - The state champion Pirate cross country runners are certainly the best “athletes” in Pinckney. ■ www.pcs.kl2.mi.us/mensswim/ index.html - This Pinckney swimming Web site exudes personality thanks to webmaster/parent Diane Harris. ■ www.slxc.com - Area runners should bookmark this South Lyon cross country page. It features information on the winter and siunmer Witch’s Hat runs. Other programs - HoweU footbaU, cross country, lacrosse and wrestling; Hartland cheerleading, volleyball and hockey; and Pinckney golf and boys basketball - aren’t bad, either. Happy surfing!

Breaking records, odds H a r t la n d s p r in t e r r a c e s d e s p it e s c o lio s is JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Hartland senior Bee Jay Brown takes off out of the starting block earlier this week as coach Kevin Passalacqua holds it in place. BY JASON DEEGAN News S ta f f R e p o rte r Bee Jay Brown steps into the starting block on the Hartland High School track. He stares at the ground intently. He’s focused, preparing for takeoff. The Hartland senior sUdes his fingers into place next to the starting line and arches his back into launch position. With the signal, he blasts out of the blocks. As he picks up speed, his bright red shoes streak down the lane for another practice run. When he runs, his legs float gracefully, his arms pump in unison. Brown may weU be Livingston County’s fastest man. He’s the defending Division I regional champion in the 100 meters. He’s accomplished three school sprinting records despite the fact he’s not supposed to be racing at all. As a freshman, he was shocked to find out he suffers from a severe case of scoliosis, or curvature of the spine. His doctors told him he might never play sports again, but the teen refused to give in. Despite warnings that he might “be snapped in two,” he played two years of football, one season of basketball and is a rare fouryear letter-winner in track. He said he stretches regularly to keep his back in shape. “It has been a motivation,” Brown said. “They told me I couldn't play, but I can.

L y o n b r o t h e r s h a v e p la y e d f o o t b a ll, h o c k e y , la c r o s s e t o g e t h e r BY JASON DEEGAN News S ta f f R e p o rte r m J hen her two boys, Lee and Chad Wright, were still quite young, Diane Wright realized they had plenty of energy tg burn. Neither took naps growing up, she said. When they would misbehave, she sent them on long runs around the neighborhood to channel their overactive spirits. “They played every sport imaginable,” she recalled. “I had to find a way to wear them out during the day. They have always been so active.” The Wright brothers now channel that energy into three of the most physical sports one can play - football, hockey and lacrosse. The duo have become fixtures in South Lyon’s athletic scene since moving from Pittsburgh roughly five years ago. Lee, a senior at South Lyon High School, is a four-time captain of the lacrosse team, and arguably the Kensington Valley Conference’s best player. He also shared the captaincy of the school’s hockey team with Chad, a junior, this past winter, as the Lions earned their first-ever state ranking in the sport. Both played varsity football together last fall, too. Jealousy has never been a problem between the brothers. Their parents, Diane and Dan, made them play on separate teams growing up to keep the sibling rivalry to a minimum. Now, the boys are thankful to be wearing the same jerseys together, possibly for the last time this spring.

C 2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 2006 One's competitive, the other a down, but both fin d success Pinckney twins have played tennis together since their childhood BY HOPE LASH News S p e c ia l W rite r Two team captains, two No. 1 tennis players, two brothers who are fraternal twins. Pinckney seniors Evan and Spencer Valeri are key players for the Pinckney boys tennis team. As alike as they are different, the brothers provide the leadership and skills that strengthen the Pinckney team in the Kensington Valley Conference. One plays singles, one plays doubles; one is serious and one is the team clown; both have a love for the game of tennis. The boys began playing during the summer of seventh grade and have developed into year-round players. Besides playing tennis for Pinckney, they have taken plenty of private lessons and play indoors in the off-season at the Brighton Athletic Club or the Huron Valley Tennis Club in Ann Arbor. “They learned to play tennis through community ed,” said their mom, Julia Valeri. “They liked it and have pursued it ever since.” Evan convinced his dad to make a backboard on the side of the garage during his sophomore year. “There’s practically no wall left. There are ball marks everywhere,” said the twins’ mom. “I can go out whenever I want and hit balls on the wall for one or two hours a day,” Evan said. “I’ve knocked all the lights off the outside of the house at least once.” Evan is Pinckney’s No. 1 singles player. A power forehand and quickness are his greatest assets. “I like the mental challenge of the singles game,” he said. “It’s all on yourself to adapt your game to beat an opponent. If you’re having a bad day, you can’t blame a partner. Winning is all up to you.” “Evan is a workhorse,” said Pinckney varsity coach Dan Krause, who has been their coach for three years. “His forehand is his most powerful weapon. If he gets a hold of it, most opponents won’t be hit- JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Twins Spencer, le ft, and Evan Valeri, b o th 18, w ill lead th e Pinckney boys tennis team th is spring. ting it back.” Pinckney’s No. 1 doubles player is Spencer. His strength is his speed and net game. “I get bored playing singles and it’s too much forehand,” he said. “I like having a partner to talk to.” Krause admires Spencer’s ability on volleys and overheads at the net as well as his other talents that he brings to the game. “Spencer is a very good doubles player. He has the ability of relaxing his partner and playing well with whoever he is paired with.” Though they are part of the same family, the twins only hit balls together during team warm-ups. “We’ve tried being doubles partners together, but it gets fairly heated,” Spencer said. “It’s better if we play with other people.” Spencer conceded that Evan is the better tennis player. “It’s him by far. I openly admit it,” he said. “Spencer is more laid back than me,” Evan added. “I’m definitely more competitive. Spencer has to tell me to keep my cool sometimes.” “Spencer is the comedian of the two, the team clown,” Krause said. “Evan takes things more seriously. The type of competition Evan se e s and the type Spencer se e s are at two different levels of play. Evan plays the higher level.” “Evan wants to make a career of tennis while Spencer does it for fun and relaxation,” their mother said. The Valeris enjoy being part of the Pinckney team and hope they will match if not better their third-place finish in the KVC from last year. “We hope to finish first or second in regionals and make states if possible,” Evan said. “A lot of us (on the team) are close friends,” Spencer said. “We have a lot of fun with the guys on the team.” “Spencer and Evan recruited a lot of the guys for the team from their group of friends,” Krause said. “The other players have a lot of respect for these guys.” Pinckney Junior Travis Roberts is a close friend and teammate to the Valeri twins. “Evan can’t get off the game,” said Roberts, the No. 2 singles player at Pinckney. “All he talks about is tennis, he loves it. When he’s on his game, it’s tough to beat him.” The Valeri twins will graduate in June and plan on attending different colleges in the fall. Both will pursue tennis to different degrees. “I’ll be attending Ferris State for the professional tennis management program,” said Evan. “It teaches how to give lessons, own a tennis club and I’d like to try out for the Ferris tennis team as a walk-on in my junior year.” Spencer is hoping to make the college tennis team at Lake Superior State, where he will be taking classes for criminal justice and wildlife management.

We wanted our own identity,” Chad said. “It is one of the great ejqteriences in my life (to be teammates). Getting to hang out with him, it is a dream.” The two have different strengths, another reason they get along. Lee has always excelled in the skill positions. He played forward in hockey, finishing the season as the team’s leading scorer with 17 goals and 29 total points, and was a linebackerrunning back in football before a shoulder injury ended his senior season. As the attacker in lacrosse, he’s scored 40 or more goals all four years on varsity. “I take pride in being able to score from anywhere on the field,” Lee Wright said. Chad Wright, who is a bit bigger and stronger, said he’s always been the “wing man” for his brother. Lee Wight describes his brother, a defensive end in football and a defenseman in hockey, as “the enforcer” of the family. Chad Wright finished with three goals and 16 assists in hockey. “It’s not like we fight about T have more goals than you do,’ ” said Lee Wright, who turned down a scholarship offer from a school in Maryland to stay closer to home and play for Eastern Michigan University’s club lacrosse team. “We just push each other all the time. Passing, shooting, checking. We are always working to get better.” The Wright brothers are good at aggressive, physical sports, but Diane said it’s not what defines her boys. “Chad is very aggressive on the field, but he’s got a heart of gold,” she said. “Lee can be aggressive, but he uses his head instead of his brawn (to succeed).” BROWN FROM Cl H a r t la n d t r a c k s t a r c o u ld b e c o u n t y 's f a s t e s t told me it should bother me, but it never has.” Brown and his brother, Chris Brown, a 6-foot-5 junior who high jumps for Hartland, have always been fast, according to their mother, Elsie McPherson- Brown. Bee Jay Brown, who ran cross country in middle school, doesn’t agree. “In middle school, I was slow,” he said with a laugh. “In high school, I was worried about tryouts, "rhen I realized they don’t have tryouts.” Brown made a lasting first impression by scoring more points than any freshman in school history As a sophomore, he set the school records in the 100 (10.78 seconds) and 200 (22.59 seconds). Last year, his 4x100 relay ran the race in a record 44.4 seconds and, later, he advanced to the state semifinals in the 100. He’s working diligently on getting out of the blocks quicker and refining his technique, hoping to make the final heat of the 100 at Division I state meet, which would guarantee him a top-eight finish and all-state honors. He’s already run a 10.8 against Brighton. “He’s progressing nicely. We’d like to get him to peak at regionals,” Hartland track coach Beverly Guile said. “He’s got the work ethic to get there.” Brown, who has a 2.5 gradepoint average, hopes to run in college and possibly study business management, but he’s “totally undecided” on where. “I definitely want to continue to run,” he said. “It’s amazing. I love it.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@livingstoncommunitynews .com or at (810)844-2012. 2005 VTX1300 RETRO M.S.R.R *9,599 2 0 0 4 VTX1300C M.S.R.P. *9,199.00 S A LE E N D S A P R IL 2 9 , 2 0 0 6 8090 W.GRAND RIVER AVE, BRIGHTON,MI 48114 WWW.CCSPORT.COM B E S T ON EARTH Hours: Mon.& Thurs.10-8, Tues/Wed.,Frl.10-6, Sat ID-4, Sunday Closed CALL (810)227-7068 or TOLL FREE (877) 884-9569 •Honda.com RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR RIDERS 16 YEARS AND aDER.

A ll it takes is a little imagination. A mas ter gardener in Manchester extended his growing area 100- fold by adding fencing to the top o f his existing cyclone fence, accordin g to Bob B rica ult, M ichigan State Un ive rs ity h o rtic u ltu re educator fo r Washtenaw Counly. “He thought it was a bad yea r i f he had 500 o r 600 cucumbers,” says B rica ult, explaining th a t cucumbers need something to la tch onto. “ I ’ve seen an old clo th es line w ith s trin g tied to i t to h a ng vines,” B ric a u lt says. “ People ju s t amaze me w ith w h a t the y come u p with.

TVellises and three-pole tepees w o rk w o nd erfully fo r gu id in g crops upward. Pole beans and zucchinis are pe rfect canrhdates fo r this technique. B u t keep in m in d the zucchini m u s t be harvested earfy, before they become too heavy and dra g the tepee down. Sweet potatoes, blackberries, grapes and raspberries also do w e ll on trellises. While you’re planning y o u r garden make sure th a t one crop won’t prevent another from growing. F b r instance, the tepee w ill add space, b u t i t w ill also shade the plants below. D on’t p la n t someth in g th a t needs a lo t o f sun in th a t spot. A n o th e r w a y to g e t th e m o s t o u t o f y o u r g a rd e n space is to p la n t a t d iffe re n t tim e s .

' Bob Bricault, Michigan State University horticulture educator out again when the tem p e ra tu re rises. Herbs are p e rfe c t candidates fo r containers. Tomatoes are also good container produce, and most times gardeners use the determinate type th a t w ili g row to a certa in height and stop, b u t wiU continue producing fru it. T he tag des c rib ing the v a rie ty o f tomato should include a men tion of whether it is determinate o r indeterminate. I f you happen to p re fe r the in de termin ate type o f tomato and want to use a container, ju s t add a stake. Once the v in e has grown enough it can be tied. “ The n ice th in g about containers is th a t i f th e y ’re on the back porch o r deck and you’re cooking, you can have peppers and plants th a t yo u ’re p ic lffiig fo r y o u r salad,” Brica ult says. “ I t ’s rig h t there where you can get a t it. T hey ’re great fo r kids, too.” Peppers a re easily grown in containers, B ric a u lt says. He cautions, however, th a t parents should keep the v e ry hot varieties away from childre n, because in some cases a ll you need to do is touch the p la n t to feel a b u rn in g sensation. Strawb errie s a re often grown in containers, b u t remembe r th a t they can easily d ry out. A lo t o f attention must be taken to keep the soil moist enough. The options are endless. For in stance, gardeners can also b u ild raised beds to maximize space by c re a tin g more v e rtic a l p la n tin g areas. Window boxes th a t extend you r s ill ou tward a llow home gardeners to s ta rt th e ir seeds early. Plants, especially herbs, can easily grow all yea r round and they’re close to the p o t wh e re you’re cooking y o u r favorite dinner.

Chances are, you w ra p y o u rs e lf in a s tu n n in g s om e th in g done in ba s ic black. De s ign ers generally agree b lack is th e be s t choice fo r knockout simple, center-of-atten tion fashion. Now move th a t eye-catching concept from b a llro om to flow e r garden. D a rk o r black-appearing pla n ts are m ak in g fashion s tatemen ts o f th e ir own in reside ntial pro pe rties across the nation. . „ “ B la c k is being used in n a tu re b y y o u r m o re sophisticated g a rdeners,” said Debbie Knitz, sdes m an ag er fo r T e rra Nova N u rs eries Inc., Tigard, Ore. “ I t brings more d ram a and more ex c itemen t to the garden.” B la c k -ap pea rin g blooms are not, as you m ig h t imagine, drab and u n in te re s tin g . No w a llflow ers, these. Some are rea l lookers. D a rk foliag e plan ts are gre at choices fo r accenting borders, ad ding p u n ch to containers, defining w a te r and roc k gardens. T hey m ake sensuous cen terpieces, too. “D a rk foliage plants - the darke r th e b e tte r - can evoke a n um b e r o f d iffe re n t emotions,” K n itz said. “A lo t o f th a t depends upon what you have them planted with. They need to be offeet. They need to be companion-planted.” T e rra N ova is promotin g a distin c tiv e b la c k calla v a rie ta l in its c u rre n t catalog. The G erman im p o rt is called Edge o f Nig h t and is said to be one o f E u ro p e ’s most po pu lar c u t flowers. “ T h e d ram a tic ric h ly colored three -in ch flowers resemble black velve t and add a n ew d imension to th is p o pu lar group of plants,” the T e rra Nova h o rtic u ltu ris ts say in the catalog. “ B la c k edges ou tlin e the glossy green, silver-flecked leaves and provide the perfect backdrop fo r the flora l display. In colder regions. E dge of N i ^ t can also be moved indoors fo r winter-long enjoyment.” No flow e r is truly, w h o lly blac k b u t the funnel-shaped Edge o f N ig h t bloom comes close, K n itz said. “You’re pro ba bly lo ok in g at deep purple, d a rk red, b u rg im d y o r ric h chocolate fo r w h a t the in d u s try calls ‘black,’. ” she said. “M an y o f these plan ts look bla c k in the r ig h t color light. The m ore sun the be tte r fo r bring ing out the black.” The Edge o f N ig h t v a rie ta l is p a rt o f a p la n t gro up commo nly called “ calla lilies,” although it actu a lly is a m em b e r o f th e w a te rloving a rum lily family. M os t callas flow e r in a creamy w h ite but some have been hybridized to bloom in red, yellow, p in k o r black. A calla likes sun b u t n o t too much sun. I t needs fre q u e n t w ate rin g and feeding w ith a ba lanced liq u id fe r tiliz e r eve ry couple o f months. In colder clirnates, they do we ll as tender perennials, grown outside in sum m e r and over-wintered indoors. Eor more consistent flowering, re s t the rhizomes in a cool area (50 degrees) fo r a month o r so before re p o ttin g th em in r ic h and moist b u t well-drained soil. I f callas don’t in te res t you, then consider some o f these o th e r dark-foliage plants: ■ Colocasia: (Black Magic) A m o is tu re lo v in g fo rm o f taro. I t looks great when planted around ponds and w a te r gardens. ■ O xalis: The so-called “ shamro c k p la n t,” some o f w h ic h p ro duce deep pu rple leaves. (lone He cker). Bew are y o u r choices, however. A few aggressive oxalis varieties are considered invasive. ■ Actaea: (Black Negligee) Lacy, p u rp le -tin te d foliage th a t develops fra g ra n t w h ite flowers. A good accent plant; one th a t can provide contrasting foliage in bord e r plantings. ■ Geraniums: Also called Cranesbill. The M id n ig h t R e ite r is a semiKhvarf varietal w ith deep pu rple foliage and d a rk lila c flowers. ■ Roses: B la c k Magic, B la c k Beauty, B la c k Baccara. A ll are so deeply re d th a t the y ap pe ar a lmost black. ■ IXtlips: B la c k Diamond, B la c k P a rro t, Queen o f Nig h t. T h e ir names speak fo r th em selves. Some o th e r dark, n e a rly bla c k pla n ts to consider in c lu d e iris (D a rk Vader, Superstition), pansies (Bowles Black), dahlias (Arabian N ig h t), columbine (Black Barlow ), and daylilies (Starling, Black Jack), among others.

People like to be where there are living things. Plants. Fish. Birds.' Emily Nolting,an extension horticulturist with Kansas State University step o u t o f th a t back door a fte r coming home, I feel I ’m in a d ifferent world.” There is nothing new about the concept o f garden rooms. The anc ie nt Greeks and Romans often shaped th e ir homes a round s tatuary, fountains and flowers. Asian cultu res b ro u g h t rocks, sculpted sand and wildMe to th e ir designs. Today’s ty p ic a l garden rooms, however, m ig h t ju s t as easily in corporate w e a th e rp ro o f stereo gear, stainless steel barbecues, copper-clad fire pits , teakwood fu rn itu re , propane-powered heaters and room-sized rugs, along w ith ba dm inton nets. That degree o f accessorizing makes liv ing outdoors more popular and more comfortable, e n ticing fam ilies to lin g e r longer. People aren’t s im p ly adding pieces to th e ir garden rooms - they’re adding price y pieces, said Peter Cilio, vice p re s id e n t and creative d ire c to r o f Campania In terna tion al, in Quakertown, Pa. The company makes garden accessories in c lu d in g planters, birdbaths and fountains. “ T h e y ’re n o t bu y in g thin gs the y ’l l q u ic k ly th row away,” Cilio s a id “ They’re not afraid to spend money on something th a t’s auth e n tic and th a t w ill make th e ir outdoor space m ore beautiful. “ T h e y ’re d e cora ting w ith containers, s ta tu a ry and w ith water. T h e y ’re g e ttin g th e fu ll range o f n a tu ra l experiences. The sound of ru n n in g w a te r and greenery is a good way to do tha t.” Today’s busy life s ty les often drive the move tow a rd garden rooms. People w a n t someplace relaxing, comfortable and private. said E m ily No lting , an extension h o r tic u ltiu is t w ith K ansas State University. “ I t ’s a place to become u n stressed,” N o ltin g said. “ People lik e to be w h e re th e re are liv in g things. P lants. Fish. Birds.” Others see garden rooms as seasonal extensions o f th e ir home’s interior. “When th e y don’t have room fo r la rge lawns o r patios anymore, o r th e y ’re ru n n in g o u t o f ro om fo r th in g s in th e house,” N o ltin g said. “ B y tu rn in g a small (outdoor) area in to something grandiose, i t gives them a feeling o f space.” M os t people begin b y d e te rm in in g ju s t w h a t i t is th e y w a n t from a garden room. Perhaps the fam ily could use a fo rm a l area fo r parties, fam ily gatherings o r weddings. Maybe i t ’s an expansive place on the lawn fo r roughhousing, a flag foo tb a ll game, some volle yb a ll o r croquet. O r w h a t m ay be m is s in g is a getaway - a quiet spot fo r th in k in g o r w o rk ing w ith a la ptop computer. Garden rooms designed as courtyards also make g re a t places fo r fam ily dining, especially i f th e y ’re conve n ie n t to the Mtchen and are surrounded by fra g ra n t and flowering herbs. Color plays an im p o rta n t role, o f course, as it does when designin g interiors. I f plants a re chosen carefully, the n garden rooms w ill change w ith th e seasons. T hey m ig h t begin w ith blooms and b e rrie s and fin is h w ith a foliage flo u ris h - leaves tu rn in g from green to yellow, o range and red. “You can have m u ltip le rooms, b u t th e y should somehow connect,” N o ltin g said. “Add wa lk in g paths, little bridg es and c ree k paths.” W h ile n e a rly th re e -fo u rth s o f th e to ta l o u td o o r liv in g m a rk e t o f $65.8 b illio n in 2004 was a ttr ib u te d to g a rd e n in g e x p e n d itu re s (pla n ts , g a rd e n to o ls an d se rv ice s ), co n sum e rs s p e n t an e s tim a te d $15.7 b illio n o f th a t on p ro d u c ts to en ha nce liv in g o u tdoors.

They become part of you because they change.” I’m with Monika, but even the greatest fans of ornamental grasses might concede that the straw-colored tufts, which emerged last May and June as fresh green shoots, are now snowbeaten fright wigs. Cast off your tussocks - spring is coming. Grasses hit the scene in a big way in the 1980s and since then we have become better at distinguishing and using them. No longer need our yards look like entrances to office parks, with cliched groupings of foimtain grass and miscanthus. President Bush gave switch grass a plug in his State of the Union speech when he talked about its use in making alternative fuels. Whatever its energy value, the switch grass, or panicum, is a sterling example of how a wild meadow grass has been tweaked in recent years by plant breeders to become something special. A variety named Heavy Metal, upright and hazy in bloom, captivated people early on in the grass craze, but more recently we have discovered Cloud Nine, which climbs to eight feet ly summer’s end - twice as high as Heavy Metal, its blades capped with rosy, ethereal flowers cum seed heads. “Like a pink fog has set in over the grass,” said Angela TYeadwell Palmer, a supervisory horticulturist at the U.S. National Arboretum. Along with other professional gardeners, she is awestruck by another switch grass variety named Dallas Blues, with thick leaf blades that have a blue cast and with arching flower heads that are violet-purple. Most grasses are three-season plants. Early spring is their down time, but it is the time to select and plant them. They are best planted dormant in April and will look weak and scraggly the first year. By the fall of the second year, they should be robust and showy. Their virtues are many, but their value is in the way they begin to show off in July when spring perennials are spent, and just continue to grow through the season. They provide the finest textures on an imposing scale, create ah exciting foil to shrubs and perennials, and give a sense of completion to the garden in September for the ensuing fall season. From a practical angle, they are free of disease and insect pests, are equipped to survive drou^t and neglect, and are not bothered by deer, voles, squirrels, rabbits or any of the other warmblooded garden creatures that seem to vex so many people. Certain exotic grasses, particularly the Chinese silvergrass, Miscanthus sinensis, have broken out of the garden and spread to the wild, to Qie dismay of environmentalists. These seedlings are said to be robust in and near wetlands and woodland edges in the South and parts of the Midwest. They can also be seen in roadside ditches in Maryland, Palmer said. “Miscanthus is beautifid. There isn’t much that would replace it” in the garden, she said. “’Ay not to pick the earliest blooming varieties,” which are more likely to set viable seed than later-blooming ones, she said. Another early player in the grass revolution, fountain grass, tends to seed prolifically, particularly the variety Moudry in spite of flowering late. Sheila Brady, of Oehme, van Sweden & Associates, Washington-based landscape architects, said she prefers to use Karly Rose, a variety of a different species, Japanese fountain grass, tamer and with attractive mauve flowers that bloom in summer. Her colleagues, landscape architects Woffgang Oehme and James van Sweden, popularized the massed use of grasses and perennials 20 years ago. Masters like Oehme and van Sweden or the Dutch designer Piet Oudolf manage to pull off the look of massed grasses and perennials with a measure of theatrical coimage and a well-funded client. For most gardeners, grasses are better used less ambitiously, as accents or modest ground covers within a larger plant mix. The availability of new varieties has made that even easier. Such grasses can lend “a completely different feel to the garden,” said Galen Gates, director of plant collections at the Chicago Botanic Garden. “It can be one specimen plant in a small garden, but the value added can be phenomenal. How many plants do we have that provide us with that movement and aural quality?” Y o u c a n p u t o u t d o o r s i n a r i g h t l i g h t Coordination, focal points important in lighting schemes From ARA Content Outdoor living spaces are turning as warm and cozy as the family room, whether you can enjoy them for two months or for 12. In the latest outdoor makeovers, indoor style has fast become an outdoor phenomenon, from growth in exterior kitchens to advancements in outdoor furniture, lighting solutions and more. “As consumers continue to ‘nest’ within the comforts of their homes, outdoor sanctuaries have become the new rooms to live and entertain in, from dawn to dusk and well beyond,” said Maria Burk, Kichler Landscape Lighting product manager. “When you invest in beautiful outdoor areas, you should incorporate your own personal taste, and highlight the best features of your home and garden.” To ensure the functionality and flair of outdoor spaces, selecting lighting is among the most important decor decisions a homeowner can make. Fortunately, an innovative array of outdoor lighting options have evolved to complement a variety of tastes, making outdoor illumination a walk in the park. ■ Coordinate lighting styles throughout the yard for a cohesive look. Matching deck lights, path lights, garden accessories and other specialty landscape lighting fixtures helps create a cohesive look that both enhances your investment and heightens the enjoyment of outdoor living. Think about the style and mood you want to create outdoors, and purchase lighting solutions that follow that theme. ■ Create a focal point that highlights your outdoor motif. Just as a chandelier creates focus in your foyer, build a centerpiece for your outdoor decor. Think about where you’ll be spending the most time and ARA CONTENT Choose lighting to match the rest of your outdoor decor and to highlight the best features of your yard and garden. which areas may need more light. If you’ll be spending a lot of time on a covered outdoor patio, outdoor chandeliers create a beautiful focus by bringing functionality and building aesthetic appeal. Lighting companies offer a wide array of outdoor chandeliers with enclosed, waterproof glass shades, all U.L. listed for damp locations. ■ Install sconces approved for indoor and outdoor use. Sconces have long added the perfect amount of glow to frame large rooms and doorways indoors. Why not apply the same concept outdoors? Outdoor scoflces are U.L. listed for mcations and come in a range of designs and sizes to enhance the appearance of decks, porches and entranceways. With matching chandeliers, these outdoor-friendly pieces take exterior living to the next level. ■ Let accessories shine - in more ways than one. Outdoor accessories regularly add beauty to your lawn and garden, but let the accessories really shine by selecting elements that highlight themselves or serve dual purposes. Instead of opting for a traditional plant potter, try something like Kichler’s Gate House lit urn. Complete with a water pump, this elegant urn adds beauty to the garden by illuminating live potted plants. ■ Use outdoor lamps to add atmosphere and build ambience. For an updated look with flexibility, outdoor portable lamps are the perfect option. Westwood Collections offers portable lamps with whimsical designs and nature-inspired themes. U.L. listed for wet locations, there’s no need to bring them indoors when it pours. ■ Use easy-to-install, lowvoltage lighting systems. For the best results, install low-voltage lighting systems rather than solar lighting. Using just 12 volts of electricity, low-voltage lighting outshines solar lighting because it “throws” the light better, so you notice the lighting effect, not just the light itself. Also, solar lights fade, but low-voltage systems allow you to control when the lights will be on or off. Best of all, they’re relatively easy to install. So, are you ready to get to work? With these hints, your yard will soon be the talk of the neighborhood, and you’ll quickly find why outdoor living has never looked so good.

Voters in the Howell Carnegie District Library district turned down the Headlee operating tax proposal 3,394 to 2,247. They also voted 3,438 to 2,123 to defeat a proposed $13.76 million bond issue that would have allowed the library to expand its current 31,000-square-foot facility by another 18,400 square feet at the current site. There are 35,790 registered voters in the library district which includes much of the Howell school district except for Putnam Township. Tuesday saw a 17.75 percent turnout in the library district.

Voters did approve, however. the other proposition on Tuesday’s ballot. By a nearly 2 to 1 margin, voters said yes to a three-year renewal of a 1.1923- mill levy that will generate $375,400 in 2006 for fire department operations.

Lynn Parrish, the district’s deputy superintendent for labor relations and personnel, handles some of its most sensitive matters and often is the person who represents the district to the public. She deals with union contract negotiations, interacts with families and attorneys in discipline cases, handles personnel matters, and responds to hot-button topics such as sexual-orientation policies. “She can multi-task better than anybody I know,” said Howell Board of Education President Sue Drazic, who has worked with Parrish for many years. Drazic labeled Parrish as a “one-ofa- kind” person who is well-respected in her field and “brilliant” at dealing with people and issues. In 2002, when a fire at Howell High School caused $700,000 in damage, and superintendent Chuck Breiner was out of town, Parrish was the voice of the school district. “I watched her,” Drazic said. “She had to deal with the media and the public and the police and she performed exceptionally under pressure.” Diversity of opinion is OK Controversy has swirled around the district during the past 18 months over the hanging of a diversity flag at Howell High School. Some members of the local conservative-values group Livingston Organization for Values in Education railed against the district and encouraged some colleagues to run for school board. Parrish said criticism that brands school officials as liberal or even “socialist” is unfounded. A conservative, she also takes offense at the allegations. “The reality is, I am a longtime, dyed-in-the-wool Republican,” she said. “Always have Lynn Parrish works on a stained glass project that she's making for her mother. been.” She said positions the district has taken in recent years, including adopting a diversity pledge, are sound. “We’re in the center of controversy here,” she said of all public education. “We’re part of social change. That’s not new. I think it’s become a necessary thing. We’re not monolithic.” Most students don’t focus on the controversy anyway, she said. “None of this stuff is ever on their radar screen,” she said. “They’re working on learning to be an adult. They’re worried about the basic stuff.” Starting as a teacher A Chicago native, Parrish came to SEE PARRISH, A2 14 seek 4 seats in judicial elections Only 2 judges running for re-election; all races are contested in big field BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter The year 2006 is turning out to be a rare year in Livingston County, with 14 candidates running for four judgeships. Just two of the four incumbent judges are seeking re-election, and all of the seats are contested. Former Livingston County Board of Commissioners chairman Jack La- BeUe said that as far as he knows, it’s the largest field of judicial candidates in county history. 'Tuesday was the filing deadline for nonincumbent judicial candidates to be on the Aug. 8 primary ballot. The list of candidates is unofficial because all of the signatures on the filing petitions had not yet been validated. The rarity of this election results in part from the decision of two sitting judges - Probate Court Judge Susan Reck and District Judge A. John Pikkarainen - to retire at the end of the year. Pikkarainen, 61, the presiding judge of the 53rd District Court, has served on the bench for the past 18 years. Serving for the same amount of time in probate court is Reck, 62. She also serves as presiding judge of Livingston County’s Family Court, which consists of all five county judges. “We’ve got some good candidates,” said LaBelle, who - as a 37-year member of the county commission - has seen judges come and go. “It’s gratifying, all of the candidates have good credentials,” LaBelle said. The two incumbent candidates on the ballot are Circuit Judge Stanley Latreille and District Judge Theresa Brennan. Latreille, who has been on the bench since 1983, is chief judge of the 44th Circuit. He is opposed by William T. Russell, 52, who is vice president and general counsel for the Michigan Group in Brighton. If Latreille is re-elected, it will be his last term on the bench. Latreille is 69, and state law prohibits judges from seeking another term in the state if SEE JUDGESHIPS, A2 Judgeship races Candidates for circuit, district and probate Judge in Livingston County: Circuit: Stanley Latreille (I), William T.

A2 THE LIVINGSTON COM MUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 5, 2006 PUTNAM FROM AT About 1 7 percent of voters in Putnam Twp.turned out been devastating if we would have had to pull this money from somewhere else in our budget.” The bond issue proposal was defeated 615-379, with about 17 percent of the township’s 5,823 registered voters casting ballots. The defeat was in spite of support from a citizen’s group headed by Judy Hollister, wife of the late Putnam Township Supervisor Bob Hollister. “I’m disappointed but not discouraged,” Knopf said. “We’ll need to regroup and find out if the reason it went down was because we grouped everything together in one proposal. I feel very disappointed for the fire department. We badly need the space, but they need it even more.” Fire Chief Greg Amburgey said: “The need for a new station is there.” “Because of Homeland Security and new training requirements, we need to train with multiple departments, but we can’t do that with the space we’ve got,” Amburgey said. Township leaders have complained for years that the current hall, a 1,000-square-foot structure built in 1883, is inadequate. The township clerk and zoning administrators share a single office that also houses a refrigerator, coffee maker and the building’s only bathroom. Seniors, meanwhile, have been relegated to a single, 25- by-40-foot classroom at the Village Education Center on Putnam Street for the past five years. Senior Center Director Cindy Kay had hoped a new building would provide room for more activities, computers and exercise facilities. Amburgey said the fire department’s 10 vehicles and 33 on-call firefighters will continue to operate out of their 2,000-square-foot station on M- 36, some of them putting on their gear in barely a foot of space behind the big tanker when an alarm sounds. When trucks are backed into bays, traffic on' M-36 must be stopped, creating a traffic safety issue. “I’m glad we got the millage renewal through,” Amburgey said. But, he lamented, only about 17 percent of the eligible voters made it to the polls. “It was a very low turnout, but we have to go with the wishes of the people.” LIBRARY FROM A1 Library board to analyze budget for next fiscal year Library board president Kathy Goetsch said she attributed the loss of both ballot issues to a tough economy, with voters considering such things as increasing gas costs and other financial uncertainties. “We’re very disappointed in the results and somewhat surprised,” Goetsch said. “We were cautiously optimistic.” Goetsch said the board is now analyzing the budget for the new fiscal year that begins July 1. The panel meets again Tuesday when the election results will be discussed. “We’re going to have to sit down and analyze our budget... based on what our current tax base is,” Goetsch said. She also said library patrons can expect no visible changes in services in the foreseeable future, but that decisions about future programs will be made during budget discussions. She said the board would decide if and when to return to voters for an override of the Headlee Amendment. The 1978 law mandates that a taxing unit “roll back” its tax rate when property values increase faster than inflation. An override would have allowed the library to keep its voter-approved tax rate of 1 mill. The library currently levies just under seventenths of a mill due to the effect of Headlee. One mill equals $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value. Property owners in the district would have paid $52 more a year in taxes with the two proposals. “What we’re not going to be able to do is the expansion of services,” Goetsch said, adding that, for now, library expansion plans are on hold. Library officials had asked for the bond issue to add wings to the east, west and north side of the library, including a new entry on the Clinton Street side, as well as additions to the library’s DVD and CD collections and additional computers. Also planned were renovations to heating, cooling, lighting and fire safety systems and an expanded parking lot to the northeast of the current library. Voters approved a 22,000- square-foot expansion of the library in 1988 which was completed in 1991. Since then, the library’s service area population has grown by 70 percent and circulation has risen by 267 percent, according to library numbers. The library serves more than 4,500 patrons each week and circulates more than 420,000 materials each year. A previous bond debt of 0.18 mills will be retired this year, one of the reasons the library board chose to return to voters for enhanced services. Tuesday’s loss is bittersweet for library supporters, as they celebrate the library’s 100th anniversary this year, as well as the 50th anniversary of the Friends of the Library group.

PARRISH FROMA1 Deputy superintendent says she's not interested in top job the area 33 years ago, when she accepted a post at Howell High School as a French teacher - an area in which she holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees. In 1977, she started down the administrative path when she was appointed assistant principal at the high school. “I had not ever thought about an administrative position,” she said. “I was approached then; I didn’t even apply.” She was then appointed principal of Michigan Avenue Middle School - where the current Howell post office is located - serving grades sbc and seven. “I was able to run my own show,” she said. “I wanted something that fulfilled me.” By the mid-1980s, she was working in the district’s central administration office. “I know I have an impact on how decisions are made,” she said. “We can find ways to improve things and solve problems. It’s given me a real hand in shaping the school district. I know the school business inside and out.” Breiner, who has worked with Parrish for nine years, counts her as his right-hand administrator. “She navigates different topics with extraordinary insight,” he said. “She’s very direct, as most in this district know. She’s also a laugh a minute.” A talent at the table Parrish performs her job with a unique style. She’s often assisted by her 5-year-old bichon frise. Lynn Parrish ■ Age: 58. ■ Residence: A 5,000-square foot Colonial Revival home on the west side of Howell once owned by Elizabeth Gregory, William McPherson’s daughter, and her husband, Edward.The 1 -acre lot was once part of the McPherson Farm. ■ Occupation: Deputy superintendent for labor relations and personnel, Howell Public Schools. She has worked for the district for 33 years. ■ Family: Children Ashleigh, 21, who works in retail; Deven, 25,a teacher at Howell High School; and Ryan, 28, who teaches at a private Catholic school. She is married to Douglas who also teaches at Howell High School. ■ Pet: Findlay, a 5-year-old bichon frise who often accompanies Parrish to work in her daily routine. ■ Education: Bachelor's degree in French and English; master's degree in French language and literature; and master's of administration degree with a labor and industrial relations specialty. ■ Hobbies: Travel to the Dominican Republic, where she owns a home, reading, stained glass art and working around the house where she says "there's always something to paint." ■ Book list: Reading Thomas L. Freidman's "The World is Flat." named Findlay, a white ball of fluff who takes his own seat in meetings and boasts a Howell Public Schools ID badge. Despite the lighthearted approach with her canine “consult^t,” Parrish is all business. She eats lunch mostly at her desk and has a lot of evening commitments. “She’s there late at night,” Drazic said. “She’s there many long hours.” But that’s OK with Parrish. “There’s not a really clear distinction between work and home,” she said. “I’ve never been a 9-to-5 worker - 1 never have, so I don’t think in those terms.” Even in her down time, which she likes to spend at a family place she owns and rents out in the Dominican Republic, she will sometimes log on to her work e-mail and correspond. In addition to traveling in her off time, she can be found with a paintbrush in her hand touching up portions of her historic home in Howell, in the garden of the one-acre property on Grand River Avenue, or working in the basement on stained glass with tools she inherited from her father who was a stained glass artisan. Over her 33-year career, Parrish carries her years of experience as a tool to ^ aw upon when making recommendations to the board or while at the bargaining table. .The district’s five unions are back at the table this year, negotiating new contracts. “Every year is a critical year” now in Michigan school districts, she said. Where three-year contracts once were the norm, they have recently negotiated oneyear pacts, bringing everyone back to the table within months. Parrish said she loves her job and has not considered applying for a superintendent’s post anywhere - although many in this area are open. “If I had wanted that, I would have done that years ago,” she said. That’s a good thing, Drazic said, because of the key role Parrish plays in Howell. “She’s our lead negotiator and that’s significant. She’s our No. 2 person and runs the district when Chuck (Breiner) is not there,” Drazic said. One of Parrish’s pet projects includes counseling new teachers on personal finance: How to plan for a secure future through investments. “It’s my personal mission,” she said. “I don’t want any teacher to teach beyond when he or she is effective. I don’t want them to teach because they can’t afford to retire.” JUDGESHIPS FROM A1 1 4 candidates running in local judicial elections they are age 70 or older. However, if they reach 70 while in office they are aJlowed to finish their term. Brennan, a former Brighton city attorney, was appointed in June to replace the late Michael Hegarty. Brennan is running to fill the last two years of Hegarty’s term. She is opposed by Jay Drick, 55, and Christina Heikkinen, 38, both Howell attorneys. Drick is chairman of the Livingston Panel Attorney Discipline Board and a member of the Livingston County Republican Party executive committee. Heikkinen, who is related to two other local attorneys named Heikkinen, has her own practice, specializing in family law. Pikkarainen’s and Reek’s impending retirements leave a wideopen field for their seats, with six people running for Reek’s seat and three vying for Pikkarainen’s. The candidates for Reek’s position are Bob Parker, Lyle Dicteon, Carol Hackett Garagiola, Roberta Balon-Vaughn, Kathleen Oemke and Suzanne Dugas. This is the second time in two years that Parker, 62, has run for office in Livingston County. The Howell attorney spent about $230,000 of his own money in a losing 2004 bid for circuit judge against David Reader. Lyle Dickson, 47, whose office is in (ienoa 'Township and who is cochairman of the juvenile law section of the Washtenaw County Bar Association, practices law in several southeast and mid-Michigan counties. The other probate court candidates are Carol Hackett Garagiola, 51, legal policy director with the state Domestic Violence Prevention and 'Reatment Board; Roberta Balon-Vaughn, the Hamburg 'Township treasurer and a Brighton attorney; Kathleen O e ^ e , a Livingston County Family Court Attorney Referee; and Suzanne Dugas, a Brighton attorney who has practiced before all Michigan coirrts, U.S. Tax Court, the International 'frade Commission, Ohio District Court and Pennsylvania Surrogate Court. Candidates for Pikkarainen’s seat are Bill McCririe, 50, senior trial attorney in the Livingston County Prosecutor’s office and husband of 53rd District Court Judge Suzanne Geddis; Brighton attorney Carol Sue Reader, 58, a co-founder and past official of several organizations dealing with child abuse and neglect; and Fbwlerville lawyer Linda Walker, who has been a case facilitator and mediator, court-appointed child guardian and has participated in mentoring programs at area schools. “It’s a run for the roses,” La- Belle said of the four judicial races. “I can’t help but feel the winners will be the residents of Livingston County.” S . L y o n t e a c h e r , c o a c h s u s p e n d e d f o r b e h a v i o r Edward Baldwin gave nude photo of himself to 16-year-old girl BY SUSAN L .OPPAT News Sta ff Reporter A 53-year-old English teacher and coach has been suspended from South Lyon High School and school officials say they plan to fire him after he gave a nude picture of himself to a 16-year-old girl with whom he was having a personal relationship. Edward Baldwin, a resident of Highland, was first suspending pending an investigation, then told the district intended to fire him, said Melissa Meister, assistant superintendent for administrative services at South Lyon schools. “We have been able to substantiate the allegations for our investigation, and are therefore seeking to discharge him.” South Lyon Police also are investigating. Police Lt. Steve Sharpe said a woman brought her 16-year-old daughter into the police station after a family member found a photo of a nude male in the girl’s room. The girl told her mother she’d asked the English teacher with who she’d had a relationship for the photo of himself. She said she’d given the teacher photos of herself in a bathing suit, Sharpe said. Sharpe said both the girl and the teacher denied having sex, but they each insisted they are in love. Sharpe said Baldwin also said he told the girl he could get into a lot of trouble for giving her the photo of himself. Sharpe said criminal sexual conduct charges do not appear to apply to the situation, be- ■ cause the girl is old enough to consent to kissing and hugging. But he said a state and local misdemeanor law prohibits the distribution of obscene material to anyone under the age of 18. Meister declined to say what Baldwin has told school officials, but she said he has never been the subject of a similar investigation in his 21 years with the district. In addition to teaching English, Baldwin was an assistant varsity football coach at the high school. Baldwin did not return a call for comment.

Laura Burwell: Tops field of three to win seat in Pinckney. BY CASEY HANS, LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporters AND STEPHENIE KOEHN News Special Writer Howell has two new faces on its school board, a newcomer joins the board in Pinckney, and a new candidate was the top vote-getter in Hartland. Of 120,541 registered voters throughout Livingston County, 13,899 cast ballots on Tuesday, establishing an 11.5 percent turnout, according to unofficial vote tallies from the Livingston County clerk. The county bboard of canvassers are scheduled to meet by May 8 to verify election results. New faces in Howell In Howell, Wendy Day and Phil Westmoreland join the Howell Public Schools Board of Education. Out of a vigorous field of six, they won four-year terms on IXiesday. Both stayed well ahead of the group throughout the night, with Day garnering 2,506 votes and Westmoreland 2,147, but they were followed closely by Valerie* Webster, who came in third place trailing by 89 votes. John Arthur came in fourth with 1,768 votes and James Pratt had 1,658 votes. This was each candidate’s second run for a board seat. Day, who was endorsed by the Livingston Values for Organization in Education group, the Campaign for Michigan Families and the Livingston County Republicans, said she plans to focus on monetary issues and on the opening of Parker High School in her upcoming term. “I think the people of Livingston County are making a statement,” said Day, a stay-athome mom who home schools her children. “They want their schools back and I’m going to try to help them do that. I had a lot of people helping and praying for me.” On issues such as the high school diversity flag, which the LOVE group contends is a gay pride flag. Day said she would not make that her focus, but that she would be a “friendly face on the board for parents who have those issues.” Westmoreland, an engineer and district parent who is active in youth football and baseball, ran a low-key campaign due to a miscommunication over his signs. He ran on a slate with write-in candidate Dennis McGuire and Westmoreland said both men thought the other was ordering lawn signs which never came. Instead, he worked through his network of parents, sent out postcards and did door-to-door campaigning. “I’m as shocked as anyone,” he said of his win Tuesday. “I’m going to spend the next few months getting up to speed on everything. I have a lot of friends out there I don’t even know about.” There were 103 write-in votes cast in Howell, with McGuire the likely recipient, although that could not be confirmed with the unofficial vote tallies. McGuire is a retired fire battalion chief and paramedic and also is a flight instructor. Webster, who came close in her first school race, said she was pleased with the campaign and with the higherthan- usual voter turnout in a school race. “It was a good experience,” she said. “I’m really glad I ran.” She said she planned to stay active in the school district and planned to continue attending school board meetings, but could not say whether she would run for office again. Burwell wins In Pinckney In Pinckney, newcomer Laura Burwell defeated former board member Marcia Jablonski and challenger Richard Gass for a four-year term on the Board of Education. Burwell received 1,148 of the 2,873 votes cast. Jablonski got 948 and Gass got 380. “The race was an eye-opener,” said first-time candidate Burwell, who has a child at Farley Hill Elementary. “It was an uphill battle” against strong competition, she said. Burwell said her first priority will be to “get up to speed” with issues at the middle schools and high school. Her next order of business, she said, will be to pursue alternative funding for programs the district can’t currently afford, such as reading specialists for every building. Veteran, new In Hartland Ten-year incumbent Nora Kessel is returning to the Hartland school board joined by newcomer Cynthia Sinelli. Five candidates ran for two fourterm terms. Kessell was reelected with 669 votes coming in second behind Sinelli who received 1,032 votes. “I’m pleased to be re-elected,” Kessel said. “I was hoping for another term. I am a little disappointed at the turnout. The apathy in the district is discouraging.” Kessel said her priority is maintaining the quality programs by balancing an unpredictable budget. Sinelli was pleased with her win. “I’m excited and thrilled to be on the board, and I know I can be a positive to the district,” she said. “Voters showed that they believed in that too. The first thing I’m going to do on the board is listen and learn from everyone in the district. I can’t attack any issue until I do that.” Candidate Dennis Tierney received 620 votes, write-in candidates received 545 votes, and candidate Cari Sinke received 197 votes. Lynn Burrill had filed as a write-in candidate. 2 had no contests Joyce Powers, a 10-year veteran of the Brighton school board, was re-elected to another four-year term. Powers, who received 1,628 votes, ran unopposed but said she was running on an issue - Livingston County’s children, K-12, being underfunded by the state of Michigan. The Brighton school district receives $7,031 per student, which is below the state average. Powers said she believes in equitable funding for students, and encouraged voters to come out and vote for her so that they could have a voice in Lansing. There were 60 write-in votes. In Fowlerville, Charles Docusen picked up 248 of 251 total votes to win a four-year seat on the School Board. Three write-in votes mounted only token opposition to the lone official candidate for the seat being vacated by Rita Lewis. The 42-year-old Docusen, an insurance claims investigator and Fowlerville High School graduate, said he wants to help the district deal with financial issues, including a $700,000 budget deficit this year.

The finalists are: Brighton’s assistant superintendent for finance, Jim Craig, who was interviewed by the board on Monday; and Susan Allan, the assistant superintendent of the Grosse Pointe school district, who was interviewed Thesday. Cheryl Kreger, associate superintendent in the Dearborn school district, was the only other candidate the board interviewed. The board had selected a fourth applicant to interview, George Heitsch, assistant superintendent of the Farmington school district, but he canceled his interview because he was a finalist for superintendent in the Utica school district and decided he would be interested in a district larger than Brighton. The board voted to have a special meeting to interview Craig and Allan a second time Tuesday, May 9. The board has been worldng with the Michigan Association of School Boards in its search for a superintendent. Association consultant Thomas Shorkey told the board, “Next Tuesday will be an intense second round of questions. My recommendation is to set up negotiation for a contract or set up a site visitation depending on what you decide.” During his interview, Craig told board members that being the superintendent of the Brighton school district is his long-range career goal. “I want to do more and move to the next level, and impact the district in all areas,” Craig said. “I want to make Brighton Area Schools the best district it can be.” Allan also said that becoming the superintendent of the Brighton school district would be a career goal. “I want to help the Brighton school district be all it can be,” Allan said. “Once I’m in a school district, my heart and soul and dedication are there too.” Jim Craig, an administrator with Brighton schoois, is a finalist. Allan said she believes in management by walking around the buildings and gathering information and getting people’s insights. As far as worldng with budget cuts, Allan told the board, “Grosse Pointe has higher per pupil spending than many districts, but for the last five years we’ve had to make big budget reductions. That’s hard to do when you’ve gotten used to certain things.” With nine years of experience as Brighton’s assistant superintendent of finance, Craig said he was very familiar with the financial challenges facing the district. “The funds dedicated to support public education in this state have eroded,” he said. “We need to form a consortium of school districts to work together and put pressure on the Legislature.” Craig said that maintaining high student achievement would be a priority, and that he would like to make achievement data a regular part of the board’s agenda. Allan also said that student achievement is a priority. After the interviews were completed, Shorkey asked board members to write down their top two choices. He said Craig and Allan were the favorites. Board member Joyce Powers said, “I liked Susan Allan’s Susan Allan interviews with the school board on Tuesday. background. She has a rich mk and new ideas. Board member Joe Carney said, “She did her homework on the Brighton Area Schools and has a wealth of experience.” When asked their thoughts about Craig, board member Bill Anderson said, “We have the advantage of knowing Jim Craig, and he’s got a strong financial background.” “Jim is knowledgeable, wellspoken, has a good mix of experience, and is loyal to this district,” said board member Miles Vieau. Both Allan and Craig have worked as teachers and have experience at the bargaining table with teacher contracts. The Brighton Education Association’s contract expired in August 2005, and negotiating a new contract could still be an issue when a new superintendent begins working in Brighton, something the board would like to see happen by July 1. The Brighton school board has its regular meeting next Monday, May 8, at 7 p.m. and the special meeting to interview the superintendent finalists Tuesday, May 9, at 6 p.m. Both meetings will be in the board room of the Brighton Education and Community Center.

Schools chief input sought Volunteers to help Pinckney's Board of Education in search BY LEANNE SMITH News S ta ff Reporter Pinckney Community Schools is on track to hire a new superintendent by mid-month, and the district’s teachers, administrators and parents have an active part in the next step. A team of 21 volunteers will join Pmckney’s Board of Education on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in visits to the schools and communities of the finalists picked by the board this week. While the team will not make recommendations on who the board should hire to replace Mike Couchman, who is retiring this year after a decade in Pinclmey, it will give detailed reports to board members, said President Anne Colone. “Picking a superintendent is a weighty responsibility,” Colone said. “We want to do what’s best for kids and for the district. It’s going to be a difficult decision. We want as much input as possible.” The board hopes to select a new superintendent May 11, but might postpone the decision another week if members agree they want to bring candidates back for more questions, Colone said. Board members spent three days this week interviewing six finalists picked from a field of 29 candidates April 27. The finalists are: ■ Nancy Staub, Pinckney’s assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction. ■ Christine Beardsley, Oscoda Area Schools superintendent. ■ Terri Spencer, chief academic officer at Mount Clemens Community Schools and a Pinckney math and science teacher and computer specialist from 1985 to 1989. ■ Cheryl Kreger, associate superintendent for Dearborn Public Schools, who was ruled out Ihesday as a Brighton Area Schools superintendent finalist. ■ John McEwan, Romeo Community Schools former superintendent. ■ Daniel Danosky, Harper Woods Public Schools superintendent. Each finalist spent 75 minutes fielding questions from the board and the audience, which included all members of the site-visit committee. Pinckney’s new superintendent will take over July 1. Couchman will stay on through Aug. 18 to help with the transition. Terre Davis of TD & Associates, the same search consultant who found Couchman, has led tills search. She provided board members with a packet of information on every candidate April 21. The board met in executive session for nearly three-and-a-half hours discussing each candidate before selecting the six finalists in open session. Twelve of the 29 candidates who applied in Pinckney were from Washington, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and Canada, Davis said. Nineteen candidates had doctorate degrees, sk were current superintendents, four were former superintendents, five were assistant superintendents and four were consultants or currently employed by private businesses. “Some we automatically ruled out because they had jumped around a lot,” Colone said. “Others had no background in Michigan finance and law. We spent a lot of time talking about the strengths of each candidate. We want to make sure we find the best fit.” L e a n n e S m i t h c a n b e r e a c h e d a t i s m i t h @ 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 o r 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 1 .

The 30,000-square-foot center will provide advanced technology in cancer care and treatment and will include Livingston County’s first linear accelerator, used for radiation treatment. The Cancer Center at Saint Joseph Mercy Woodland Health Center also will offer expanded chemotherapy treatment capacity with 15 infusion bays and leading-edge research trials as the only source in Michigan for Mayo CUnic trials. St. Joseph Mercy Health System’s cancer program is one of only 50 programs in the country designated as a Community Clinical Oncology program by the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Walter M. Sahijdak is one of the physicians on staff at the new cancer center. He specializes in radiation oncology. “More than half of all cancer patients at some point in their care will receive radiation treatment, and it’s important that people in Livingston County have the care be local,” Sahijdak said. “Many of my patients whom I care for have made the trip to Ann Arbor fi’om Livingston County. ... We want to take care of our patients closer to home.” Sahijdak said medical records at the center will be computerbased, making it one of the few paperless facilities in the country. He also said each patient’s PHOTOS: USA CAROLIN,THE L IVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS A new cancer center will open Monday adjacent to the St. Joseph Mercy Woodland Health Center in Genoa Township. The new center will offer the county's first linear accelerator, below, which will be used for radiation treatments. Here, medical physicist Scott Hunter is testing the machine. Cancer Center Following is the schedule for opening the new Cancer Center at Saint Joseph Mercy Woodland Health Center in Genoa Township. ■ Monday: Open for patients. ■ June 3: Public grand opening, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. ■ Location: 7575 Grand River Ave., Genoa Township. ■ Details: 810-844-7250 or on the Web at www.sjmercyhealth.org and click on "cancer." treatment will be customized with state-of-the-art equipment, and the goal is to have 20-25 patients daily receiving treatment at the cancer center. Lauren Stokes, communications specialist for the health system, said the construction started more than a year ago, but the need for a cancer center in this county has been discussed for several years. “The community has helped support the cancer center by donating to the largest capital campaign in Livingston County history,” Stokes said. “The campaign is still under way, and currently we are at $3.8 million of the $5 miUion goal.” Kathy Kasperek-Corelis, the service line leader for St. Joseph’s oncology program, said there will be one full-time medical oncologist and one fulltime radiology oncologist at the new center. “We take a multidisciplinary approach for physicians to get together to talk about the patient and treatment. This is the model that we think will work best for a patient,” Kasperek- CoreUs said. Staff at the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital near Ypsilanti provided input for the design of the new cancer center. In the infusion center where chemotherapy is administered, there are half walls between the treatment bays, which each have enough space for a guest to sit with the patient. There also is a flat screen television in every bay and a view of a healing garden outside. A gathering space is offered for patients, an open nursing station and a lot of natural light in the large space are all available. The center has two private rooms for procedures, four rooms for medical oncology, and four rooms for radiation oncology Scott Hunter, a medical physicist, will work in radiation oncology at the new center. “A lot of rigorous testing has been involved to set up this new stateof- the-art equipment,” Hunter said. “This is a wonderful facility with the latest in technology.” “Our patients have access to every major cancer trial going on in the country,” Kasperek- Corelis said. The facility also has a 16-slice CT simulator, one of only two in the state. The medical staff uses the images to plan radiation treatment, allowing them to look at a tumor from different perspectives. Also on staff are chemotherapy certified nurses who work with patients, a nurse practitioner, a research nurse and a social worker. Kasperek-Corelis said the new cancer center will not only serve the needs of the fastgrowing Livingston County, but also of surrounding counties.

But several large planned projects remain on the table for 2006-07. A reduction in two city staff positions will occur in the coming fiscal year through attrition: the Drug Abuse Resistance Education police officer and an accounting support post, officials said. The change effectively ends the DARE program; the Howell Public Schools had ceased funding it last year and the city agreed to review the matter during this budget year. The city’s new fiscal year begins July 1. This year’s city budget offers a new format to make it more understandable to the public, said Deputy City Manager for Finance Melanie Purcell. Included are debt and capital summaries, department goals, a community profile and summary of city personnel. “Howell is not going to be exempt from problems the rest of the state is facing,” she said. “As reserves get tighter, we’re going to have to prioritize.” City Manager Shea Charles called the budget a “transitional” plan that will guide the city in the future. “We’re fortunate to be in a high-growth area,” he said. The city proposes to maintain its current millage rate of 14.9443 mills, dipping into its surplus by $35,017 to maintain current city services. No major cuts or changes to city services are proposed, Purcell said. The General Rmd Budget will be reduced by about $2 million to about $7.1 million. Total city budgets are proposed to be $26.9 million for the 2006-07 fiscal year. Major projects for the coming year totaling about $15 million in new or improved infrastructure include Clinton Street reconstruction, redesigning and reconstructing the D-19 corridor south of the city, installing the loop bypass road south of the city and the Crosstown Trails project along M-59, which will include a boardwalk. In addition to reduced state funding, the city also faces $40,000 more in insurance premiums for new retirees, and a flat revenue growth of only 1.8 percent compared with past growth of between 8-10 percent. The city has taken a conservative budget approach this year due to uncertainty over pending Michigan Tax Tribunal cases and funding of the Howell Area Recreation Authority which will be decided by voters in August, Charles said. Rill copies of the proposed 2006-07 budget are available for viewing at city hall. A truth-intaxation budget hearing is scheduled for Monday at 7:15 p.m. in council chambers, downstairs at City Hall, 611 E. Grand River Ave., Howell. The City Council is also expected to vote on the budget Monday. Purcell said once approved, the budget will be posted on the city’s Web site, www.cityofhowell. org.

Howell's downtown gets high marks Team of experts evaluates city's fledgling Main Street program BY CASEY HANS News Staff Reporter Howell got high marks last week from a visiting team of national Main Street experts who assessed the city’s fledgling program. They met with merchants, property owners and city leaders throughout the week before offering recommendations that included more consistent store hours, a push for business recruitment and retention, preserving downtown buildings and creating a downtown master plan. “Your downtown buildings look great,” said Nick Kalogeresis, a program officer for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, who headed the team. “It’s your historic buildings that are really your strategic advantage.” Team members offered their Finance education offered Free initiative meant to counter poverty From News staff reports A free personal finance program to help low-income families and nonviolent offenders from the Livingston County Jail will be launched next week by the Livingston County Community Mentoring Service, a faithbased county initiative to help residents rise out of poverty. Volunteer teams will teach personal finance - a topical area that former prisoners said they would most need help in - on four consecutive Friday evenings beginning May 12, 6:30-8 p.m. Classes will be limited to about 15 people, and registration is required to participate.

They said the downtown has a higher-than-average occupancy rate, including secondfloor spaces, and that Howell should actively recruit businesses from other communities to strengthen the city’s mk. A market analysis planned for this summer will help guide the Downtown Development Authority and Main Street Board, the experts said. The city is already on a fast track, with developers approaching to work with the city on in fill developments. “You’re very, very far advanced,” said Donna Ann Harris, a Chicago-area consultant in historic preservation and downtown revitalization. Bob Donohue, program coordinator for Oakland County Main Street, said standardizing store hours will raise the quality bar for the city. “You don’t need word-ofmouth (comments) by disappointed visitors,” he said. “You want them to come back raving.” Mike Jackson, chief architect for the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, liked that the city had an alley-improvement program but said more needed to be done to explain historic preservation to property owners. “We found a lot of confusion,” he said. He also suggested the city do a better job of integrating fire safety for historic buildings into the city code. The resource team reviewed the four key Main Street subject areas: promotions, organization, design and business development. The DDA has an active subcommittees in place in Howell in each of those areas. DDA Main Street Board President Vicki Hartman said the DDA has included recommendations in its subcommittee work plans. “There are a lot of good things happening,” she said. “So it was good to hear the reinforcement.” City Manager Shea Charles said the city’s progress before even applying for Main Street put the city ahead of others. “A lot of the work was already done,” he said. “This takes us to the next step.” C a s e y H a n s c a n b e r e a c h e d a t c h a n s @ 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 0 5 . * 1 0 0 0 F F Any $1,000 + j ^ ^ r c h a s e ■ ^ 9 ^ J W e b e i^ l^ B ^ h lo n j Warehouse Showroom 9944 Weber St.* Brighton All with Warranties • Delivery Available We’ll put you to S le e p ...C h e a p !

Ken Wilkinson has filed with the Livingston County Clerk’s office for the recall of Supervisor H.E. “Bud” Prine and Township Treasurer Geri Harmon. Wilkinson has 180 days to collect the required 1,823 signatures, said County Election Supervisor Joan Runyan. Wilkinson said he would like the signatures returned by Aug. 4, to put the recall on the November ballot and avoid a special election at township expense. Runyan said the purpose of the hearing is to determine whether the language on the petitions is clear and understandable. Prine earns $27,600 a year in his part-time position. Harmon, who is full-time, earns $51,800. In his petition, Wilkinson claims Prine exhibited “gross neglect of duty” by taking the entire month of March off for a vacation. Wilkinson said state statute requires the supervisor to be present for Township Board of Review meetings in March, and requires the supervisor to prepare the budget. The charter township’s fiscal year runs April 1-March 31. Wilkinson also charges Prine with “deceit” because he failed to inform board members of a state Tl’easury Department letter asking Prine and Harmon to attend a meeting in Lansing to explain why personal property taxes were not being distributed as required by law. He also accuses Prine of “poor judgment” in promoting an “unnecessary” tree ordinance that cost township taxpayers more than $25,000 to pay for a referendum that struck down the ordinance. Prine called the recall bid “nothing more than sour grapes,” resulting from Wilkinson’s defeat in the 2004 supervisor’s race. “The charges are false, they’re trumped up,” Prine said. In his petition against Harmon, Wilkinson charges the treasurer with “gross neglect of duty” for failing to disburse partial personal property tax paymehts despite directives by township auditors. The resulting investigation by the Michigan Department of Treasury could have resulted in sanctions against the township. Although the state has said its investigation is now closed and it has found no evidence of intentional wrongdoing, it is continuing to monitor the township. Wilkinson also charges Harmon with “gross breach of township personnel policies-procedures ... by creating a hostile workplace including repeated verbd abuse and intimidation of an employee,” and of violating a policy stating an employee will not be fired for making a complaint. Former deputy treasurer Donna Shollack was fired in May 2005 after she complained about Harmon to the township manager. He also asserted that Harmon never had Shollack sworn in as deputy treasurer as required by law, and that Hairmon “wrongfully requested” a $2,000 stipend for collecting school taxes when that is part of her statutory duties. Harmon did not return calls seeking comment. T om To len c a n b e re a c h e d a t tto le n@ H v in g s to n c o m m u n ity n e w s . c o m o r 8 1 0 -8 4 4 -2 0 0 9 .

Howell Homelessness project includes food drive A group of Howell High School Freshman Campus students will spend the night on the school grounds tonight as they learn lessons of homelessness while giving something to their community. Members of the Freshman Focus class and others who took the class last semester will take part in the project, said Principal Larry Cowger. He said the students will also accept nonperishable food donations for Gleaners Community Food Bank during their overnight project. “We’re going to have it close to the actual experience,” Cowger said. “Our goal is that the kids learn from the experience and that they contribute to the community.” Supplied only with water, the students will seek out any available shelter as they learn what it is like to live without a home, Cowger said. Students will be collecting food for Gleaners fi’om 2:30 p.m. today until 11 a.m. Saturday. Anyone wishing to make a contribution of nonperishable food or a pledge for the effort can also call teacher Cindy Perlman, who is coordinating the effort with students, at 517-548-6267. Putnam Township Board looks to save on consulting fees The Putnam Township Board of Trustees is spending $2,500 on video-conferencing equipment in an effort to save money on consulting fees. It costs the township about $750 each time planners from Langworthy, Strader, LeBlanc and Associates Inc. travel from their Grand Rapids headquarters to the township for a meeting, said Supervisor Dick Knopf. The cost covers mileage and meals, as well as time, he said. “If we can cut out that travel time, this equipment could be paid for in about two months,” Knopf said.

We need more space and they are taking what we have away. The room they are taking from us houses our quilting, knitting and crocheting groups, chair exercises, calligraphy, card playing, chair massages, foot care, board meetings, flu shots, etc. It allows one of our members to use the room to rest at times after dialysis. The quilting, knitting and crocheting groups make things to sell for fundraising as we don’t get support from our townships even though three-fourths of our membership consists of township residents. We pay taxes to our townships and will continue doing so, but I feel that we are being kicked out and they don’t care about us. It is hard to hear our teachers instruct us now in the large room. The smaller room accommodates other presenters and Forum celebrates M-36 business Awards, networking and updates on development offered BY H O P E LA SH News Special Writer It was a night for glows and grows at the eighth annual Pinckney-Lakeland-Hamburg Growth Forum last week at Lakelands Golf and Country Club. “It’s fantastic to see all the new business coming into the community,” said Kevin MacRitchie, owner of TMZ Farm and Pinckney TruValue Hardware. He said he was pleased with the positive business outlook at the forum. The forum was a celebration of new businesses and growth along the M-36 corridor. About 100 people attended the event. The evening included community service awards, business networking opportunities and eight local government and business speakers profiling development along M-36. “We wanted the event to be interesting and an opportunity for businesses and developers to come and talk,” said Pinckney village President Rebecca Foster, co-chairwoman of the event with Rick Beaudin, chairman of the PLH Chamber of Commerce. “The whole area is growing,” said Beaudin, “and we wanted to make this event more about people and less about statistics. It’s a good example of government and business working together to service the growing community. “It’s exciting to see the eating establishments, doctors, cleaners, computer stores and grocery stores that are available,” he said. “Shop and dine along M-36 is happening.” Pam McConeghy, executive director of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce, described the forum as a refreshing and indicative of the growth in the Pinckney, Lakeland and Hamburg areas. “Tonight was down-home, personal and friendly like the community itself. It gave everyone the opportunity to get to the know about the new businesses coming into the communily.” Foster highlighted the growth and development in the village including new eateries, new events at the park and a Rite Aid drugstore breaking ground soon within the village limits. “We have a number of activities that are bringing families and community members into town, from Hootin’ in the Park to art and classic car shows,” said Foster. “The village is a very positive and bright spot in the local economy considering the tough business climate.” “We could put our business anywhere,” said forum speaker David Tolfree, part owner of soon-to-be-open PT’s Fresh Mex restaurant in downtown Pinckney, “but we wanted to be where our families are and our kids will grow up. We want to be a part of the community.” “The core area of development will have a traditional neighborhood feel,” said Patrick Hagman, Hamburg Township zoning administrator, who updated the audience on the positive growth development in his township. “We want Hamburg Township to feel like a hometown and be a walkable community.” Paid Ad ve rtis in g M o r t g a g e G u i d e From Bankrote.com^.

R e l i g i o u s b o o k S t o r e s o l d t o n e w o w n e r s Hendricks leaving His Bible and Book House ,, Sterling Heights, will manage H ETA IL R E PO RX Brighton store for the new _________________________ owners. = LaPlante said the new owners will not make any drastic changes in the items offered for sale. “We will keep pretty much the same line,” she said. Jason Clairmont is operations manager for Women of Faith, an organization that organizes and sponsors inspirational conferences for women in 28 major cities around the country. He will continue in his present position while assisting at the book store. His mother, Patsy Clairmont, also a Brightonarea resident, is a nationally known author of Christianbased publications with 15 published books. The new owners said they owe a lot to the founders of what has been one of Brighton’s most successful and long-running retail operations. “Shirley has laid a great foundation, and we’ll be able to carry out what she laid out,” LaPlante said. “We’re looking forward to working with the churches and helping bring more people downtown, and getting the business owners together,” Jason Clairmont said. A combination grand opening of the remodeled store and retirement party for Shirley Hendricks will take place on May 13, with the grand prize a gold necklace donated by Cooper & Binkley Jewelers of Brighton. Also, the first 50 customers will receive a door prize, Jason Clairmont said. With the sale now completed, Hendricks, 48, will go to Biloxi, Miss., to help with reconstruction of homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. He traveled to Mississippi twice last fall, helping to gut homes and build replacement homes under the auspices of Bay Vista Baptist Church in Biloxi. After Hendricks returns he has no definite plans, but tl^e former executive chef at the Dearborn Inn and Hyatt Regency in Dearborn will likely return to his roots in the restaurant business. “I probably will go back to chef work; it’s in my blood,” he said. BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter His Bible and Book House in downtown Brighton, a mainstay in the community for the last 27 years, has been sold. The new owner plans to continue to operate the popular faith-based book store at its present location. The store, at 106 W. Main St., was founded by Burt and Shirley Hendricks in 1979, and has been very successful over the years, drawing customers from as far away as South Lyon, Detroit and Fenton. For the last several years, Shirley Hendricks’ son, John, has owned the business and continued as owner of the building while helping in the store. On Monday the Hendricks, both Livingston County residents, completed the sale of the business and 3,000-square-foot building to Jason and Danya Clairmont and Tim and Lori LaPlante, for an undisclosed price. “We’re looking forward to the opportunity,” Jason Clairmont said. “Our two families are doing this, and it’s a new adventure.” “It’s very exciting, it’s a wonderful business,” said Lori LaPlante. She said it’s a perfect fit for the new partners, who all have “strong religious values.” The LaPlantes attend the Howell Nazarene Church and the Clairmonts, the Community Bible Church in Brighton. The new owners closed the store Monday for remodeling, and it was to reopen Saturday with new carpeting and other upgrades. Later this year a new sign and awning will adorn the storefront, and next year the LaPlantes - who own A&M Masonry in Fowlerville - plan to install brick over the wood facade. As its name implies, the store carries Bibles and inspirational books, religious music on CD, DVDs, wall hangings. Precious Moments figurines, greeting cards and faith-based instructional textbooks and other materials for home-schooling parents: An estimated 200,000 items in all.

RETAIL BRIEFS 2nd frozen custard store set to open The Brighton area’s second frozen custard place planned to open this week at the Shoppes at Green Oak shopping center at Whitmore Lake and Lee roads, just west of US-23 near Brighton. Jack’s Custard Company is in the same building next to Flagstar Bank that houses 7-Eleven and several other stores. Sheryl Kemmerling, her husband, Mark and her parents. Jack and Carol Samples, are partners in the venture. The custard is the same recipe used at a frozen custard establishment in Grandville, Ohio, near Columbus, that the Kemmerlings patronize when they visit relatives. Sheryl Kemmerling says they loved the product so much they ended up buying the recipe from the owner. “He’s got a fabulous product,” said Kemmerling, who lives in Green Oak Townihip just a few minues away from the new store. Jack’s Custard Company has cones, shakes, sundaes, frozen custard cakes and avalanches, which consist of frozen custard mixed with the confection of the person’s choice, along with specialty avalanches.

That combination should make for a record-setting collection Saturday for the anpual Fill the Gazebo food drive benefiting the Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston County. Brighton Mayor Steve Monet, chairman of the drive, hopes, donations will surpass the 7.5 tons of food collected last year. The food drive coincides with the opening of the Brighton Farmers Market, which returns to its home in the lot along Mill Pond Lane at First Street near the Mill Pond. That makes it the perfect spring outing for families of all shapes and sizes. Fill the Gazebo has been expanded this year to include a drop-off point in downtown Howell. Donations will be collected from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. along State Street downtown, which will be closed for the food collection Saturday, as well as on the first day of the Howell Farmers Market, on Sunday. Collections are also at the Howell High School Freshman Campus on Friday evening and Saturday morning as part of a student project on homelessness. Gleaners officials said the need for donations is greater than ever. Agencies who handle food distribution say they are seeing a 30 percent to 40 percent increase in demand amid a struggling state economy. That makes it more important for those of us who can afford it to buy an extra bag of nonperishable groceries this week and bring it to either collection point. ■ Cheers: To Yvonne DeVries for once again “paying it forward” by helping another family in need. DeVries lost her teenage son during a vacation accident not long after her husband died. But she and her daughter have formed a fund called Max to the Millions in honor of her late son. Max, to pay back some of the kindness that people have showed them. This year they are helping with a fundraiser to send the children of Jeanie Seitz, a Brighton mom who is battling cancer, to summer camp. That fundraiser is tonight at the Barnstormer entertainment center on M-36. Tickets are available at the door. ■ Cheers: To all the volunteers who pitched in to clean up the Huron River last weekend during the first Hamburg Township cleanup day. Everything from fallen trees to lawn furniture was pulled from the river. As one organizer. Bob Robertson, put it: “If you love the river like I do, it’s just a good thing to do.” ■ Cheers: To Kathy DeTroyer for opening her home and her life to two young girls who needed love and support. One of them, Anna Zorn, has developed into a standout volleyball player at Fowlerville High School and will attend Madonna University this fall. Her older sister, Amelia Zorn, is attending Lansing Community College. ■ Cheers: To volunteers who are restoring a 1937 fire truck that will be used in the funerals of firefighters killed in the line of duty. Those volunteers include many from Livingston County, where the former Detroit Fire Department pumper is undergoing a transformation. Once completed, the vehicle will be on display at the Michigan Firehouse Museum in Ypsilanti. ■ Cheers: To veterans groups and other volunteers who pitched in to build two shelters at Howell’s City Park so there would be a place to get out of the sun near the park’s popular Thompson Lake beach.

Romantically inclined frogs were engaging in a noisy croak-fest near the water’s edge and spring-returning birds were swooping through the trees of the nearby upland forest. Though it resembles a Northern Michigan wilderness, the land Olson and his team were traversing is a 4.5-acre parcel in the midst of busy Brighton. A stone’s throw from Meijer’s, a soon-toopen hotel and a busy shopping area, the parcel is the Charles and Albert Parker Families Nature Preserve and it’s being maintained by members of die Livingston Land Conservancy. “This is a very special parcel,” said Olson, the conservancy’s land protection and membership STEPHENIE KOEHN, THE L Land Conservancy member Rick Thomas makes short work of invasive autumn olive shrubs that threaten the ecological balance of an upland forest at the Parker Family Preserve in Brighton. development specialist, and its only paid staff member. “It’s surrounded on all sides by development, but it has seven different (natural) ecosystems - eight, if you count the weedy, disturbed area on the southern edge of the properly.” Joined by conservancy members Kernie King and Rick Thomas, Olson had arrived there on a chfily first day of April to do a bit of housekeeping designed to keep this ecological gem in its nat- SEE CONSERVANCY, B2 Conservancy properties ■ Charles and Albert Parker Families Nature Preserve: A 4.5-acre parcel on Orndorf Drive in Brighton.

The silvery-gray-leaved autumn olive - found in every corner of Livingston County, in meadows, forests and even parking lots - will choke out native species if left unchecked, Olson said. The worst infestation in this preserve is in the upland forest area that crowns the property. “Clearing out the autumn olive allows the native species to grow and populate this area,” Olson said as Thomas fired up his chainsaw. “With a handful of people, it’s amazing how much we can get done,” Thomas said. King, bandying a device of his own design for killing invasives, said, “autumn olive shudders when it sees me coming.” The device, a plastic, dishwashingdetergent wand with a faucettype valve installed to shut off the flow of herbicide, allows precise placement of weed-killer, so only the targeted plants are affected, he said. In addition to the weedy area, the upland oak-hardwood forest and the wetland (technically, an emergent marsh), the preserve includes a woodland prairie, a southern v/et meadow, a creek, and springs, according to a botanical survey conducted in 2 00 0 . Protecting this and nearly 300 acres of other properties that have been donated or to which the group has an easement is what the Livingston Land Conservancy does. The nonprofit organization is “devoted to protecting the natural heritage and rural character of the greater Livingston County area” by acquiring property and conservation easements, Olson said. The conservancy has an easement on the Parker property. Conservation easements are voluntary agreements between landowners and a land trust, such as the conservancy, that limit the type or amount of development permitted on the property, while retaining private ownership of the land. In an effort to step up public awareness of its existence and its mission, the Livingston Land Conservancy has been hosting frequent informational coffee hours aroimd the county, as well as organizing work outings and educational activities. Upcoming, are a migratory songbird walk Saturday and a pre-Mother’s Day spring wildflower walk May 13, both at the Arthur M. Pasinski Memorial Preserve near Hutchings Elementary School in Oceola Township. The work of preserving land in its natural state involves a surprising amount of effort, Olson said, one reason why the organization is actively recruiting new members. “(Clearing invasives) isn’t exactly the world’s most exciting work - but it has to be done,” said Lee Burton of Brighton, who joined the conservancy a little over a year ago after attending one of the group’s informal coffees. It was his concern about protecting natural areas before they are gone that led him to investigate the conservancy - and he’s remained involved since that first meeting. “I was excited to find we have a local land conservancy to work for,” Burton said.

Middle School, Burton said he and his wife enjoy canoeing on wild rivers and participating in other outdoor activities. Olson said Burton is exactly the sort of person - committed to the environment and willing to back up that commitment with elbow grease - that the conservancy hopes to attract with its expanded menu of activities. The group also hopes to encourage participation by “young people with good, strong backs - like Scout troops,” Olson said. And, of course, financial support is always welcome, he said. Conservancy lands are open to the public, but people are asked to call Olson at 810-599- 4117 before they visit any of the organization’s several sites. “We don’t discourage people from visiting our preserves, but we like to Imow when they are coming,” he said. “The balance between preserving property and making it available for the public to enjoy is a delicate one.” Putnam Township Board Minutes Synopsis April 19,2006 The regular meeting of the Putnam Township Board was held on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 at the Putnam Township Annex, 122 S.

She part of Hamburg and she’s really good.” Sharp’s love of art began to stir at age 7 when a favorite aunt gave her a little wooden box filled with small tubes of oil paints as a birthday present. “It was a real treasure,” she said. “I still have it and I still treasure it to this day.” The gift inspired Sharp to draw and paint “with all the determination of a 7-year-old toward a questionable artistic career.” At ages 10 and 11, she won bronze medals in poster contests. “I wore out the ribbons polishing those medals,” she said. “I thought I was something.” Sharp was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, and grew up in Norwalk, Ohio. Art took a bit of a back seat when the need to earn a living took over. She started out as a bookkeeper before finding a vocation she’s as passionate about as her art. “Nursing is the love of my life,” she said. “From the time I was big enough to have a teddy bear, I was making incisions and stuffing cotton in him. I loved every minute of my job.” Sharp moved to Michigan and worked for the University of Michigan and St. Joseph Mercy hospitals. At 47, she married Lester Sharp, a lifelong Hamburg Township resident, teacher JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLAJHE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Sharp shows some of her pencil drawings that will be on display at"Art at the Museum" in the Hamburg Historical Museum. She will join artists Susan Neglia of Pinckney, Susan Jane Argiroff of Brighton, Bonnie Niece of Whitmore Lake and Dee Ann Segula of Milford at a reception Saturday night. Their art work is for sale; a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Hamburg Historical Society, which operates the museum at 7225 Stone St. in the old village. and township electrical and plumbing inspector. “Lester wouldn’t even know the place today,” she said of her late husband. “What once were fields are now subdivisions. But Hamburg’s still a nice place and the people are nice. If anyone comes to town to visit and they can’t find you, all they have to do is stop at the post office and ask.” Sharp paints in oils and watercolor. She draws in pencil and charcoal. Her favorite topics are birds, butterflies, landscapes, babies and dogs. “I love creating something with my hands,” she said. “When you paint, you really learn to watch for the characteristics in your subjects so you can capture them on paper.” Sharp plans to stay active and keep drawing and painting as long as she can. “I always have a lot of things in the process of being done, so hopefully the good Lord will notice and give me enough time to finish them,” she said with a chuckle. “Really, I think maybe he has something for me to do yet that I just haven’t gotten done.” L e a n n e S m i t h c a n b e r e a c h e d a t l s m i t h @ 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 1 . .... .......... -25-hp V-Twin, air-cooled, John Deere iTorque™ Power System provides excellent power and performance, easy starts and smooth operation ■Twin Touch™ automatic transmission provides comfortable two-pedal foot control fo r effortless speed and direction changes 22-inch turning radius J o h n D e e r e NtjHuntj Run'.

Eligible seniors who want to participate must do so by May 15 to avoid a 1 percent per month premium penalty to sign up later. Under the program, seniors will pay a monthly premium to private companies for coverage, with premiums in Michigan ranging from $25-$85. Michigan seniors can choose among 41 plans from 18 different companies. The Area Agency on Aging 1- B offered a free counseling session April 27 at the Fowlerville Senior Center. Workers from Livingston County’s Catholic Social Services and from the Area Agency on Aging were there to help seniors determine the plans that would work best for them. “The cost of the drugs someone needs determines what plan they want to go in,” said Patty Flynn from CSS. “If a drug isn’t covered, you’re going to be charged full price.” • Flynn says people with prescription drug coverage through their employer should have received a letter or newsletter stating if the coverage is as good as or the same as Medicare.

If I had known what to expect, I would have come better prepared.” Carrie Nicholson, from the Area Agency on Aging, asked for a list of all the prescription drugs Fowlerville resident Michael Kelly is getting. “I need to see all of your prescriptions in order for us to match you with the best plan,” Nicholson explained to him. “It’s the choices that people are confused about, and for many people talking one-on-one helps clarify things.” “There are so many different plans with different tiers for drugs and no explanation,” said Kelly. Nicholson advises that people who take a lot of medications may have to pay higher premiums. “Some people have told me that they’re not signing up because they only take a few medications,” said Flynn. “I say consider it like an insurance plan. If you had a catastrophic illness all of a sudden and needed a lot of medications, you’d have the coverage.” Mark Swanson, director of the Howell Senior Center, offered these tips: Under basic plans, seniors pay the first $250 of prescription drug costs; 25 percent from $250 to $2,250; 100 percent from $2,251 to $5,100 (commonly called the “doughnut” and 5 percent for costs above $5,100. Companies also offer programs with better coverage for a higher premium, if seniors want to upgrade. When shopping, be sure to ask: What drugs are covered; the monthly premiums; how much are co-pays; participating pharmacies and whether prescriptions can be filled in other states, especially if you travel or live elsewhere during the year. Those who are dual-enrolled - on both Medicare and Medicaid have already been put into a program if they did not pick one. Veterans under the TRICARE plan will see no changes and do not need to sign up. “If you're a veteran (in that program), stay put,” Swanson said. No drugs purchased out of the country, including in Canada, will be covered by this plan or go against the plan's deductibles. The next enrollment period goes from Nov. 15-Dec. 30,2006 for coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2007.

Green Oak Charter Township Planning Commission OA 02-06/LCN/05-05&26-06 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 5, 2006 B5 I * S e n i o r c e n t e r s p a c e g i v e n t o t o t s Education director says Tot Spot wait list had grown to 40 BY USA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter While the senior population in the Brighton area grows, space at the Brighton Senior Center is shrinking. The center, located in the Miller Early Childhood Center, which also houses kindergarten classes for the Brighton school district as well as the Tot Spot preschool program, recently lost one of its rooms. “It is the wrong thing that the senior center loses space,” says Director Nancy Hall. “Because there were kids on the list that needed care, they felt it was essential to serve the families,” she said, referring to the district’s Tot Spot program, which took over the room. Anne Rennie, director of Brighton Community Education, which includes both Tot Spot and the senior center, says it was a hard decision to make. “I did everything I could to get the budget in line this year. We started tracking the number of people calling for Tot Spot, and once we got to a wait list of 40, we talked about how to do this and looked at existing space. I looked at that room in the senior center and said that for one year I can generate revenue there and give support to 40 families. My commitment is to give the senior center the room back after this year.” Senior center member Mary Barker was disappointed when she heard the news about the losing the room. “We need more space and they are taking what we have away,” said Barker. “The room they are taking from us houses our quilting, f it tin g and crocheting groups, that make things to sell for fundraising as we don’t get support from our townships.” The Brighton Senior Center, which has close to 400 members, has been seeking money from the four municipalities it serves, but so far the city of Brighton is the only local unit of government that has agreed to the request, approving $2,600. The senior center is part of the Brighton Area Schools, and its proposed 2006-2007 budget is $158,000. Hall says $111,000 pays salaries and benefits for her, a part-time secretary, two van drivers and program instructors, and the remaining $47,000 pays for vans, supplies maintenance, and $20,360 goes to the Brighton Area Schools to pay for the space. Hall said, “We are strong in numbers and in our philosophy of what it means to have a place that just belongs to seniors.” She says that cuts will have to be made to keep the center going and that space will continue to be an issue. An average of 75 seniors use the center every day. There is a benefit this weekend for the Brighton Senior Center. The Reflections & Deuce Coupe Band, who perform classic rock ’n ’roll and doo wop, will be in concert at the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts Sunday afternoon. Hall says she hopes to raise $12,000. Tickets are $20 for the 4 to 6 p.m. event.

LISA CAROLIN,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS During "Science Fun Day" at Brighton's Lindbom Elementary School, second-grade students Joshua Young and Melina Cogo created solar systems inside shoe boxes. L i n d b o m ' s ' S c i e n c e F u n D a y ' l a u n c h e s s t u d e n t s i n t o s p a c e PTO-sponsored event aimed at motivating kids to do well in math, science BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Brighton’s Lindbom Elementary School felt more like NASA than a typical elementary school April 28. It was “Science Flin Day” and space was the theme. Students had the chance to visit Star Lab, the traveling planetarium based at the Livingston Educational Service Agency. First- and second-graders created models of the solar system and individual planets like Saturn. Students in third through fifth grade made pop rockets, space helmets and learned about the phases of the moon. Art students painted pictures of themselves wishing upon a star. The special day was sponsored by the PTO for $1,200. Lisa Williamson coordinated the activities with the help of 40 volunteer parents. “Exposing the students to all these topics in detail gets them asking what they need to do to become an astronaut,” Williamson said. “This will foster into their everyday learning and motivate them to do well in science and math.” The astronaut idea struck a chord for second-grader Joshua Young. “I sort of want to be an astronaut,” he said. “I got to see how they can play with their food in space.” Second-grader Melina Cogo had some trepidation about becoming an astronaut. “I don’t think it’s comfortable when they sleep because they have to make sure they don’t float away.” Fifth-grade teacher Kathy Palmer presented a slide show about satellites and rockets. “The benefit of a day like today is that it helps children understand the scientific idea behind things and it creates career awareness,” Palmer said. “This generation grew up taking the space program for granted. Today they are learning what it’s about and the history of it.” LISA CAROLIN,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Second-grader Cameron Newton created his own version of the planet Saturn and its rings as part of "Science Fun Day" on April 28 at Brighton's Lindbom Elementary School.

I’ve gone to the dark side. I’m now the parent of an athlete. It’s a bizarre feeling, standing there watching my almost-4-yearold son, Carter, play soccer. 'There’s an overwhelming sense of pride and awe: I can’t believe my littie gity is now big enough to take on the world, and much bigger 6- year-olds, playing the game. It seems like yesterday he was just a tiny little runt eating applesauce and drinking from a bottle. It’s a true joy, a parent’s dream really, to watch him play. He’s running. He’s learning. He’s giggling with his teammates and making new friends. He’s burning energy (thank goodness). And picking grass. And throwing rocks. Kids... There’s another part of me that feels out of place. I’ve always been trained to be on the sidelines as an impartial observer. As a joimnalist. I’m not supposed to get involved in games. I’m there to report the facts, to put the meaning of the game into context. Now, though, I am emotionally involved. I can’t help but want to jump out of my skin. I want to yell louder than any parent, because I see the extra effort he puts in when he hears my voice. I want to tell the coach to pay more attention to him, because he’s the smallest one on the team and needs the most direction. In other words. I’m fighting the urges of the person that every sportswriter and coach dreads - the overzealous parent. One of the toughest parts of my job is dealing with these parents. Elvery parent wants their child to succeed in sports. Some go to the extreme to try and make that happen. I’ve had parents berate me by phone and by e-mail for what they perceive as unfair coverage of their team or their child. I’ve had jealous parents try to use me as a way to get their child more playing time. I’ve had parents try to get coaches fired adter their children are cut from a team or only see limited playing time. Nationally, headlines of parents attacking coaches and each other are becoming more common. It’s scary, really. Don’t get me wrong, most parents are wonderful. They are great resources, feeding me stoiy ideas. They make my job easier by sending photos of their young athletes- in-training. In a way, they’re great PR agents for the chil(fren and programs they support. I just hope I remain one of the good guys through Carter’s career in sports, no matter how short, or long, it lasts. I went to his first practice determined to just watch and observe, but it became evident right away that with 15 players on the team. I’d be pressed into service as a coach. All the tricks I learned as a young soccer player three decades ago are being dusted off and put back into use. I’m teaching throw-ins, how to play the sweeper position, how to dribble the ball away from a defender. It’s great fun. I better understand why coaches are willing to work for peanuts. The rewards and relationships enrich the soul more than the pocketbook. Carter’s first game (and first loss) was April 29. My son didn’t play much. When he got on the field, he ran off for an unexpected bathroom break. Plus, there are older, more experienced kids ahead of him. But that’s OK. I’m learning that, as a parent, it isn’t all about winning, scoring and playing time. I’m just along for the ride. I expect the view from behind the videocamera, and not a notebook, will be a good one.

Hammond, a 16-year-old sophomore from Hartland High School who lives in Hartland Township, has had quite a haul considering she’s only participated in Special Olympics for six years. She’s captured 11 golds, 11 silvers and six bronze, most in gymnastics, but a handful in figure skating. Her best performance yet - three gold medals in gymnastics at the 2005 Michigan Summer Games - helped her earn a berth on the 2006 Team Michigan that will compete in the first-ever Special Olympics USA National Games from July 2-7 in Ames, Iowa. She will be among the estimated 3,500 Special Olympics athletes, including 62 from Michigan, who will participate. “I’m excited,” she said. “I will not be nervous to be performing in front of people I don’t know.” Hammond said she’s training extra hard with her coaches - 'Terry Bean, a coach at the Hartland Gymnastics Academy, and her daughter, Tara Bean. Hammond is learning to do the vault for the first time, and also will be scored in the all-around, which isn’t an event at Michigan’s Summer (Barnes. “They work me quite hard,” Rebecca Hammond said of her coaches.

BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter The situations are ripe for jealousy and contempt. But the Curtis and Kassab sisters will have none of it. Instead, the foursome - Angela and Alyssa Curtis and Courtney and Kelsey Kassab - say they are determined to do whatever is necessary to help the Brighton girls soccer team land that elusive state championship. Even if it means the older sisters, juniors Angela Curtis and Courtney Kassab, must set their egos aside, and possibly relinquish some playing time to a pair of supremely talented younger siblings. Angela Curtis is a backup to her sister, Alyssa, a sophomore who starts at outside defender. Courtney Kassab, a junior who transferred from Ann Arbor Greenhills, must deal with the constant accolades and attention Kelsey gets as one of the state’s budding soccer stars. Kelsey, a 15-year-old freshman, recently returned from the U.S. national team camp in California for the Olympic Development Program. “It’s cool to be able to brag about my little sister,” said Courtney Kassab, who led Greenhills to the Division 4 state semifinals the past two seasons before transferring so the two could play together. “She’s successful. She could be my idol. She’ll reaUy go somewhere with this.” Brighton’s sister act will play a major role in just how well the Bulldogs perform this season. The No. 4-ranked Bulldogs, who’ve been to the state finals three of the past four seasons, were 7-1 heading into the pivotal showdown with defending Division I state champion and No. 1-ranked Novi on Wednesday (results weren’t available at press time). The four girls have known one another for years, dating to club soccer days with the Michigan Hawks. The two sets of sisters have differing styles in how sisters should get along as teammates. The Curtis sisters hang out all the time, running together in warm-ups. Usually, they’re giggling the whole way. “Whenever we go against each other, we start laughing,” Alyssa said. Angela Curtis grew up a midfielder JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE L IVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS The Brighton girls soccer team will depend heavily on its sister act in its attempt to win a Kensington Valley Conference and state title. On the left, from front to back are Kelsey and Courtney Kassab, who play multiple positions. On the right, from front to back, are defenders Alyssa and Angela Curtis. but was moved back to defense because of Brighton’s tremendous depth there. “Alyssa’s a way better defender,” Angela admits when asked why she doesn’t start. The Kassabs, who live in Pinckney but attend Brighton as their school of choice, are still adjusting to their constant companionship. Their competitive personalities can lead to squabbles. “When I went to a different school, it was sweet (to hang out) because I didn’t see her,” Courtney Kassab said. “Now we are always in each other’s way. That creates problems.” “We get in little fights on and off the field,” Kelsey said. “The little things mean nothing, really. It’s a normal thing.” The two teenagers have begun to show their vast potential. Courtney Kassab, a mainstay at center midfield SEE SISTERS, C2 Better than a hole-in-one? Brighton native beats ridiculous odds for rare double-eagle Jeff Ayotte had already achieved a hole-in-one in 2004 BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter With the golf season comes miracle shots and rounds of a lifetime. Perhaps none will be more spectacular than what 1998 Brighton High School graduate Jeff Ayotte did April 10. The 26- year-old former Bulldog soccer player landed an elusive doubleeagle on the par-5,18th hole at Huron Meadows Metropark golf course in Green Oak Township. Also called an albatross, a double-eagle signifies 3-underpar on a single hole, one of the rarest feats in golf. According to the National Hole In One Association, the odds of an average 'I thought getting a hole-in-one was my pinnacle of my golf career. I managed to top it this year.' Jeff Ayotte golfer making a hole-in-one are 12,700-to-l; for a tour pro, 3,700- to-1. The odds of making an albatross are an astounding 6 million- to-1. Ayotte, a Michigan State University graduate who recently moved to Denver, still can’t believe he got a 2 on a 507-yard par-5. “I thought getting a hole in one was my pinnacle of my golf career,” said Ayotte, who aced the 151-yard 15th hole on the championship course at Oak Pointe Country Club in Brighton in 2004. “I managed to top it this year.” 'Two other players landed holes-in-one on local courses recently. Pinckney’s Dan Maloney aced Rush Lake Hills Golf Club’s 131-yard 13th hole with a 60-degree wedge April 23. Ann Arbor’s Matt McNiel used his driver to ace the 212-yard third hole at Huron Meadows April 22. But Ayotte’s shot tops the lot. He was in town visiting when he decided to join his father. Bill Ayotte, a Green Oak resident who retired from teaching in the Novi school district in 2004, and his friends for a round. Jeff Ayotte said he was having “an average round” with borrowed clubs from his father when they reached the 18th tee. The 12-handicapper blasted a 3-wood roughly 270 yards over the bunker at the corner of the sharp dog-leg left for a clear shot at the green. He used the same 3-wood from roughly 235 yards out on his second shot. “I just nailed it,” he said. “It was going at (the flag) the whole way. I heard it hit the pin, but I was not sure if it was in or not.” Bill Ayotte said his son went right to the hole once the group reached the green. “Remember when Phil Mickelson won The Masters? He jumped about two feet off the ground,” Bill recalled. “Well, Jeff jumped about five feet off the ground. We were more than excited. We were just amazed.” The miracle shot gave Jeff Ayotte a score of 87 for his first round of the year. He celebrated by buying a round of drinks for the foursome. “I’ve seen some holes-in-one. Jeff Ayotte: He sunk a doubleeagle at Huron Meadows Metropark golf course in Green Oak Township. but I’ve never seen a double-eagle in my 40 years of golf,” Bill Ayotte said. “It was one for the books. That’s pretty good and pretty luclg';” Ayotte, a marketing manager in Denver for Power Bar, said he’s motivated to play more golf after his thrilling start. “I’m hoping to get a lot of golf in,” he said.

Her favorite event is the balance beam. “One thing we’ve noticed each year, her score gets higher,” said her mom. Shannon Hammond. “She achieves a little more. We look at where her hand and foot placement are. She doesn’t get any slack from the judges, either. They score her like they would any gymnast.” Hammond took up skating in 2002. The two sports complement each other well, because some of the artistic elements are similar. “A lot of the toning and muscle building for gymnastics really helps her skating,” Shannon Hammond said. “In three years, she’s gone from a death grip on anyone she’s with to taldng off on her own.” Anne Rogers, the Area 27 director, which includes Livingston County, used to be Hammond’s figure skating coach. She said Hammond is “extremely confident” in her ability. “She practices really hard,” Rogers said. “She’s very dedicated. She is really very talented.” 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 jd 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 ( 8 1 0 ) 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 2 . SISTERS FROM Cl Siblings work to make Brighton soccer No. 1 with four assists, scored two goals in a 5-0 shutout of Howell on April 26. Both play multiple positions. “Courtney has good vision and is excellent with long-range passes,” Brighton coach Deepak Shivraman said. “She likes to take shots from far out. That’s a hard quality of skill for a lot of players. She does it with ease.” Kelsey, who has two assists, missed some early practices while in California, slowing her progress, but she and fellow freshman Sloane Levin are the cornerstones of Brighton’s future. “Once she is settled in, it will be all engines ahead,” Shivrmnan said. Giggles and petty arguments asides, all four of the girls say the Bulldogs are ready to click as a team. “We hear we are the best team out there,” Angela Curtis said. “We just have to bring it all together.” 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 jd e e g a n @ U 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 2 .

The Hamburg Township nurse, who will spend part of the day at work in the maternity ward at Hutzel Hospital in Detroit, said what she really wants for Mother’s Day is “normalcy.” “I’m just happy to have another Mother’s Day,” she said. “And many more!” added her son Matt, who is 13. “Fifty-sbc more!” contributed her son Joey, who is 11. Seitz was diagnosed with metastatic oligodendroglioma in September 2003. It is a secondary cancer from skin cancer that traveled to her brain. Doctors gave her a two- to fouryear prognosis. “My doctors said I’d never see 40, and my 40th birthday will be in October,” Seitz said. “I want my boys to stay in their routines and not to see me sick.” Matt, Joey and Cameron, who is 12, have been helping to keep things as normal as possible around the Seitz house.

Thomas Shorkey, the consultant from the Michigan Association of School Boards who is working with the board, told members, “My recommendation is that you conduct on-site visits for both candidates. This shouldn’t be a knee-jerk reaction. This is a decision you don’t want to rush into without looking at all the options.” The board agreed, and plans to do the visits next week. The finalists are Jim Craig, Brighton’s assistant superintendent for finance, and Susan Allan, assistant superintendent of the Grosse Pointe school district. Prior tcf the start of the interviews Monday, close to 70 Brighton teachers picketed outside the Brighton Education and Community Center, holding up signs about not having a contract. The contract expired in August. During the meeting, eight teachers addressed the board, and at least half spoke against Craig, who is on the district’s negotiating team. “Teachers feel like everything is a higher priority than we are,” said Brighton High School teacher John Gillis, one of the negotiators for the Brighton Education Association, the teacher’s union. “We feel disrespected.” Craig told the board, “The tone in our district is really important. I hear that there’s disrespect, but I don’t believe it. The most important thing is to be honest with people.” Allan told the board: “The conflict is clearly being felt in this district. I don’t have any miracle cures. What I do have are skills in working with people who don’t agree.” The board also heard from more than half a dozen parents, some of whom complained about the May 5 closing of Maltby and Scranton middle schools because more than half of the teachers at each called in sick. “I refer to it as a strike at the middle schools and am disappointed with the teaching staff that chose to do this,” parent Darrin Keener told the school board at the meeting. “Who are they (the teachers) trying to punish?

We have also asked students not to do anything on our behalf.” When each of the superintendent candidate interviews came to a close Monday, board members asked Allan and Craig about applying to other districts. Allan is one of six finalists for the same position in Ann Arbor. “I would not be here tonight if I were not deeply serious about Brighton,” Allan said. When asked if he had applied for any other superintendent positions, Craig said he had not. He also said he would stay on in his current position if someone else was hired. Brighton has been without a permanent superintendent since Dave Pruneau went to the Rochester school district Jan. 3. John Hansen is the interim superintendent.

From there his story grows." - from “I Saw It in the Garden’ by Martin Brennan, Mitten Press Growing up, Martin Brennan never enjoyed weeding. He spent a lot of time in the rows of his family’s Howell-area garden, where his dad’s veggies found a home and mom grew flowers. But somewhere, a seed was planted. As an adult, Brennan loves what he calls “the magic surrounding gardening” and has carried it into a recently released children’s book, “I Saw It in the Garden.” The book, Brennan’s first, is published by Mjtten Press in Ann Arbor and illustrated by local artist Michael Glenn Monroe. Brennan, 39, lives with his wife, Jane, and three sons, Joe, John and Ryan, on his wife’s 25- acre family farm in Oceola Township. There, the family gardens together and raises chickens and pigs. A former secondary school teacher, he has had a sales career for the past 15 years and views gardening as a wonderful diversion from life’s stresses. “It’s a nice go-to,” he said. “I Saw It in the Garden” is the story of a garden lovingly tended by a grandfather and his granddaughter. The book brings the garden to life in April and carries it through until frost. It has a host of plants and other visitors, including lady beetles taking tea, a dragonfly on the drums and the life of a seed as it prepares to grow. Each book includes a gardenready package of organic seeds and instructions. Monroe, the book’s illustrator, is an award-winning wildlife and children’s book artist and is a resident of Brighton.

A2 THE L IV IN G S TO N C O M M U N IT Y NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2006 Putnam to fight development ruling Court allows 498 manufactured housing units BY LEANNE SM ITH News Staff Reporter Putnam Township will fight a Livingston County Circuit Court ruling allowing a 498-unit manufactured housing development on 144 acres it had zoned for agricultural use. The ruling handed down a week ago by Circuit Judge David Reader declares that the development is a reasonable use for the land at Swarthout Road and County Road D-19, but a unanimous vote from the township’s Board of Trustees on Tuesday takes the case to the Michigan Court of Appeals. “We need to do everything we can to get that 498-manufactured home park off that piece of land,” said Trustee Norm Klein. The suit was filed by landowners and siblings Jefrey Hendee, Michael Hendee and Louann Hendee Demorest and developer Marcus Yono of Village Point Development 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 board’s latest decision did not surprise Michael Hendee. “But I don’t understand it,” he said. “We won fair and square. I guess we’ll have to get back with our attorney to see what our next step will be.” Reader’s ruling states that the township’s agricultural open space zoning district is exclusionary and imconstitutional for this piece of land. He said there is a proven need for affordable housing in Putnam Township and the township does not designate adequate space for manufactured housing developments. The township’s master landuse plan has 40 acres at D-19 and Schafer Road zoned for manufactured homes, but the court determined that land was inadequate, said Thomas Meagher, township attorney. Meagher discussed all options with the board but recommended the appeal. By a show of hands, the majority of the 30 people attending Tuesday’s meeting supported that recommendation. “It’s time that the leaders we elect in the community decide the rules, make the rules and enforce the rules and not let a judge arbitrarily take that away fi-om them,” said Eddie Bhson of Pinckney. To date, the township has spent nearly $103,402 in legal, engineering and planning fees to fight the development. An appeal, which could take another two years, could cost another $5,000 to $7,000. “If you break it down, it’s about $1 per person to keep this township’s rural character,” said Supervisor Dick Knopf. “I think that’s worth $1 per person.” Those who oppose the development said it would hurt the rural environment and bring too much traffic to Swarthout Road, a gravel road, and D-19, a twolane paved road. Because it is two miles fi*om Pinckney and in the township, not the village, water and sewer services will not be readily available, they said. 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 Commission. After postponing a decision several times, the township board voted in December 2003 to deny the rezoning. The following March, the township’s Zoning Board of Appeals denied a landuse variance that would have allowed the development, prompting the court battle.

The combination of the side effects of the chemo and the brain tumor diminish her energy and challenge her balance. She must limit her work hours as a result. One of the things she said she still enjoys is rea to g to her children. “We read all the Harry Potter books,” Cameron said. “Mom’s a fun person to be around.” “I like to watch shows with her on the Discovery Channel,” Joey said.Matt said: “We all did the garden together. Mom’s kind of ftm.” Smiling at her sons, Seitz said, “They’re good kids. They basically do what I ask them to.” Although the Seitzes haven’t taken many vacations because of money issues, the family drove out West last year because it was Jeannie’s dream to see the Grand Canyon. Robert took money out of his 401 (k), and the family says it was a memorable trip. “You think because you’re middle income and have health insurance, you’re OK, but when this kind of situation hits, it’s tough,” Jeannie Seitz said. That’s what, the Hope for Jeannie Seitz Fluid is for. Seitz’s niece, Tracie Faupel, helps run the fund; its purpose is to cover growing medical expenses not covered by insurance. There was a fundraiser at the Barnstormer on May 5 that Jeannie Seitz attended. There will be a Golf Scramble fundraiser June 5 at Lakelands Golf & Country Club. “This whole community has been amazing,” Seitz said. “My greatest hope is to get past all this, take the focus off me and make the Seitz fund for other people with cancer.” “I’m going to keep it going,” Joey said.

She said she met him through her contacts with Monroe, who thought Brennan had good ideas for a children’s book. “It really plays nicely,” she said. “The folks just love Mike’s garden creatures and he was able to include some of them here.” Johnson said the partnership with organic seed company Seeds of Change also was special. The company donated 7,500 seed packets for the book’s first printing. Johnson said the publishers already have ordered a second printing of 5,000. She said finding a good children’s book is tricly. “You tiy and find something like you’ve never seen - but something that’s not too different” so it will sell, she said. In addition to area bookstores, she will market Brennan’s book to bird stores, nature centers and similar venues. Brennan grew up the only boy in a family of eight children, with some siblings who are now well known in the community.

Rosemarie also writes, he said. “I’ve always written,” he said “Seeing (sister) Denise get published gave me the inspiration.” Brennan-Nelson said she has watched her brother’s efforts to become published over the last eight years. “He has a talent that is just starting to show,” she said. “It’s a great first book. but I can’t wait to see what he does next.” She describes her brother as likable, intelligent and “a diamond in the rough.” Good writing comes fi’om avid reading, and his family was an inspiration for both. Theirs was a house where there was no television allowed during the week; if the kids had questions about spelling or words, they were encouraged to look it up. “Both my parents read a lot,” he said. “And I still do. The whole family reads. And almost everyone writes in one way or another. We used to be big letter writers.” In his earlier years, Brennan wrote poetry and short stories. “In trying to get better, it becomes more work,” he said, “but it’s good work.” In developing “I Saw It In the Garden,” Brennan said he looked back to his childhood days among the flowers and vegetables. “I think I had in my mind trying to see a garden in the mind of a child and how they see it,” he said. “There’s a lot of miracles in the garden.” C a s e y H a n s c a n b e r e a c h e d a t c h a n s @ 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 o r a t 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 0 5 .

The township’s Board of Trustees voted Thesday to place a 10-year $3.5 million bond issue for a new eastern fire station on the Aug. 8 primary ballot. Proposals for expansion at the HoweU Carnegie District Library and construction of a new Putnam Township municipal complex, which also included a new fire station, were defeated by voters on May 2. That contributed to 'li'ustee George Majoros’ initial hesitancy to support Hamburg’s request, but in the end the vote to move forward was unanimous. Il^ su re r Roberta Balon-Vaughn was absent. The bond issue would pay for four to five acres on Hamburg Township’s east side and construction and outfitting of a minimum 10,000-square-foot station with five drive-through truck bays. The township decided to go for a bond issue rather than a nfillage because a millage tax rate is based on a number “set in stone,” but a bond issue tax rate is based only on what is spent, which in this case would be no more than $3.5 million, but could end up being less, said Clerk Joanna Hardesty. If approved, the new station would cost the owner of a $250,000 home assessed at $125,000 about $40 in 2006. The owner of the same house would pay an average annual rate thereafter to retire the bonds in 10 years. While the township has entered into preliminary discussions to purchase land and building concepts have been discussed, there are no plans yet. The new station would replace Station No. 12 on Stone Street in the old village. It was built in 1948 and dedicated as a fire hall two years later. There’s no room for expansion and today’s equipment does not fit, said Fire Capt. Dan O’Sullivan. Cramped conditions force firefighters to squeeze between trucks, making it difficult to get to calls quickly, he said. With more than 23,000 residents, Hamburg is the largest township in Livingston County. Fire department runs have increased fi’om 832 in 2003 to 935 last year, Sullivan said. The number of runs to date already is up nearly 13 percent fi’om a year ago and Sullivan estimates it will top 1,000 by year’s end. A newer station also could result in a better Insurance Service Organization rating, which can result in lower properly insurance rates for residents, said Trustee Pat Hohl. When the Hamburg’s ISO rating improved by two points two years ago, residents saw about a 20 percent premium reduction, township officials said. DRAGON COURT 7 5 8 0 E .

He focused on three of the district’s top issues: Diversity, budget constraints and the opening of Parker High School. Q. What are your thoughts about how the diversity issue has developed, especially at Howell High School? There are now two flags: One for the Diversity Club that some say represents gay rights and another for the Traditional Values Club that also has been labeled as a Christian flag. A. “I think what we’ve learned is a processing lesson. The first flag (Diversity Club) was put up impulsively and then a sin^e parent became a lightning rod on the issue. The district has said the kids have come up with this symbol. They (club members) have rededicated this flag and they tried to make it their own.” About the second flag (traditional values): “We’ve said if we’re truly inclusive, then post the second flag. There’s been some discussion and a policy being developed on flags; it’s not finalized yet.” Q.What lessons can be learned from these experiences? Breiner A. “It’s still OK to be accepting of people who disagree. As a district, we stand on fairly high ground as far as acceptance. “I think the Diversity Club and ITaditional Values Club might engage in dialogue with one another. There’s a good chance they will seek each other out. There would be a great lesson for the adults to see.” Q.What are your thoughts about the LOVE group (Livingston Organization for Values in Education)? They formed in an effort to remove the diversity flag and endorsed in recent school board races. A. “I’m not particularly concerned about the LOVE group. I’m pretty comfortable with where we stand. Despite what some might think, we don’t spend a lot of time on that.” Q. Is the school district working to recruit a more diverse staff? A. “We’re starting to see more diverse applicants than we’ve seen, including some Indian, African-American and others. When we’ve become aware of a person who wants to come here, we sit down with them face-toface. This is a journey and we’re still at the beginning of it.” Q.Talk about financial situation as specific to Howell. What does the district face? A. “We think we’re a special case here ... a growth district with one of the lowest per-pupil funding. Because we rank 699 of 735 districts (in the state) in total funding, we can no longer open and operate schools on the amount we’re getting. “We have four areas of concern. In five years, special education costs have increased 150 percent, retirement costs have seen double- digit inflation and our insurance provider has made no use history available. Then there’s utility costs that we have no control over. “Really, it has crushed us as to what we’ve been able to do. This year we’re facing a $2.4 million deficit. We’re hoping to make it up at the bargaining table. We’re also offering some early retirement incentives that could save us $600,00 to $700,000.” Q. How does state financing tie into the opening of Parker High School? A. “We don’t want to shut down viable, good programs now and open the school on the backs of our students. We don’t want to go there. “I believe the state has been somewhat complicit in keeping the school finance problems alive. Something is amiss here and we need to take care of it.” Q.What do you say to naysayers who might say the district is "crying wolf" over the opening of Parker? A. “This is not a pretend crisis we’re living with. We’re not going to create a crisis that’s not there. At the time we passed the bond... we never imagined that the (state financial) faucet would be shut off. “I think we knew what we needed to open the school. We thought this (financing) will continue; this will keep going.” Q.What are the deadlines for making a decision about opening the high school? A. June 2006 for athletic purposes for the KVC (Kensin^on Valley Conference). Otherwise, April or May of 2007 or sooner.

A4 THE L IV IN G S TO N C O M M U N IT Y NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2 0 0 6 IN BRIEF Brighton City budget increase reflects street work The City Council has adopted a 2006-07 spending plan of $22 million, a $1.4 million increase over the fiscal year budget ending June 30. Council unanimously approved the budget May 4. The general fund budget will total $8.2 million, an $800,000 increase over 2005-06 and includes $3.7 million in street improvement and maintenance, including the East Grand River corridor project. The city has received a nearly $800,000 federal Surface Transportation grant to fund the lion’s share of the more than $1 million reconstruction and improvement project, to take place this construction season. High school brass quintet to perform Fresh from capturing top honors in state competition last weekend, the Brighton High School Brass in Black brass quintet will perform Sunday at 4 p.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Brighton. The group took first place at the district and state levels to garner honors as the top high school brass ensemble in Michigan. Admission to Sunday’s concert is $5 adults, $4 students and seniors and $10 family. Brighton Township Yard waste day slated for Saturday Brighton Township will host a yard waste cleanup day May 13 from 8 a.m.-noon at Township Hall, 4363 Buno Road.

Call 248-437-8461 or 248-939-2901. Howell Road construction increases spending The Howell city budget calls for major new spending, although most of the increase comes fi"om $10 million in bonds to finance the Loop Road project, D-19 and Clinton Street reconstruction and the Crosstown Trails project on M-59. The bond issues wiU be financed over a 25- year period. City Council Monday night adopted the spending plan for the 2006-07 fiscal year, which begins July 1. Deputy City Manager for Finance Melanie Purcell said the $15 million earmarked for road improvements is the most the city has ever spent in a single year on infrastructure. Although the overall city budget, at $27 million, is an increase over the current year’s $19.6 million, the $7.2 million general fund budget is about $2 million less. Under the spending plan, the city’s fund balance will decline by $35,000. Purcell cautioned, however, that the outcome of several business property tax cases pending before the Michigan Tax Tribunal and the interest rate on the construction project bonds will determine the fund equity outcome. Rotary Club offers antiques appraisals The Howell Rotary Club is again offering its annual Antique Appraisal Fair on May 20, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., as part of the Howell History Days celebration. The event will be in the third-floor community meeting room at the First National Bank in downtown Howell. The cost for appraisals is $15 for one item or $20 for two items.

PHOTOS JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS The Blooming Wild Flower Festival on Saturday at the Howell Conference and Nature Center will raise money for rehabilitation programs at the center in Marion Township. Above, volunteer Kathleen Presecan of Hamburg Township feeds two deer at one of the center's nature areas. At left, Dick Grant, executive director of the center deadheads the hanging baskets that will be for sale Saturday. Saturday event includes flower and plant sale, music and kids'activities BY STEPHENIE KOEHN News Special Writer Do you happen to have a spare golf cart? Or perhaps a few sheets of treated plywood, or a few bags of ferret or duck feed? These are just a few of the many items you could rustle up to support the wildlife rehabilitation program at the Howell Conference and Nature Center in Marion Township. Or, you could head to the center Saturday to enjoy the 6th annual Blooming Wild Flower Festival, with proceeds benefiting the program. “It’s a chance to buy spring annuals, perennials and hanging baskets and celebrate Mother’s Day with fun for the whole family,” said Laura Western, the center’s special events coordinator. Admission is free, but there will be nominal fees for some activities. In addition to the plant sale, a varied slate of activities will include breakfast, lunch, a perennial plant exchange, workshops on composting and lawn restoration by master gardeners from the MSU Livingston County Extension, and a dog obedience presentation by Beth Duman, Western said. The day also will feature a secret shopping booth for kids to purchase kid-priced gifts for mom, hay rides and tours of the Wild Wonders Wildlife Park, face painting and balloon animals. Music will be provided by local folk singer Dusty Rhodes and the Wilson Family, a brass quartet from South Lyon. Plants for the sale will be provided by Croswell Greenhouse, of Croswell, and by Wilczewski Greenhouses of Oceola Township, Western said. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of food will go toward the Tim Collins Find to help with medical expenses for liver transplant recipient Tim Collins, of Fowlerville. All other proceeds will be used to support the rehabilitation program at the center. The Howell Nature Center cares for more than 2,000 injured and orphaned wild animals each year through its Wild Flower Festival ■ When: Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. ■ Where: Howell Conference and Nature Center, 1005 Triangle Lake Road, west of D-19 and south of Howell. ■ Details: Call 517-546- 0249; on the Web at www.howellnaturecenter.org wildlife rehabilitation program. Western said. Events such as the wild flower festival are what keep the program ahve, along with donations, memberships and many volunteers, she said. The Nature Center helps injured and orphaned animals return to the wild. It offers telephone advice to people who have questions about wildUfe or problems with nuisance animals, but the center does not provide a removal service for nuisance animals, nor does it take in raccoons, bats, skunks, starlings, pigeons or house sparrows. After a training period, people who are interested in wildlife rehabilitation can volunteer at the Nature Center, which also provides educational programs on urban wildlife and wildlife rehabilitation to local civic organizations and school groups. The Wild Wonders Wildlife Park is a project to provide natural habitat exhibits for the center’s permanent residents - those animals that could not be sufficiently rehabilitated to be successfully released into the wild. So far, more than 30 species of mammals, birds of prey and other birds have found new, spacious homes in the park, which will be open for tours during the flower festival. Naturalists will be on hand all day to provide information about the various exhibits. Western said. The Nature Center is owned and operated by the Presbytery of Detroit, the administrative unit for the Presbyterian Church in southern lower Michigan. “To our knowledge, we are the only church-supported rehabilitation center in the country,” Western said. 2 l o c r i R E E N S a t i o n s t o s e r v e y o u ! ^ - y ^ O N S I G N M E l V T ❖ F U R N I T U R E ❖ V I N T A G E J E W E L R Y ❖ P O T T E R Y ❖ H O U S E H O L D ❖ A N T I Q U E S DoitV Mias Our Sainton Colored Tiig Sale Brighton location only’ Receive extra 50% OFF items marked with a Salmon colored Ihg Consignments accepted Monday through Saturday until 5 p.m. ^ 5 S 8 9 E .

Speaking at the Livingston Legislative League’s “get to know your candidate” luncheon, DeVbs said he wants to help Michigan regain the roughly 300,000, mostly manufacturing jobs, the state has lost since 2000. And the way to do that is to start at the bottom, he said. Small businesses are the answer, DeVos said. The state needs to help start and foster small businesses that will stay and create jobs rather than concentrate resources on large businesses that might locate here for only a few years. “We need a turnaround in Michigan,” DeVos said. “We’re the only state outside of Mississippi and Louisiana with less jobs than two years ago, and they had a hurricane.” Most of those who attended DeVos’ appearance were sympathetic to his message of bringing more jobs to Michigan, and came away impressed with his down-to-earth, folksy style. Brighton resident Linda Boyle said she was impressed. “He’s a godly man, he’s an honest man,” Boyle said. “He comes across to me as someone who has forked hard and can make a change in Michigan.” Although acknowledging his family is wealthy, DeVos told the crowd that he did not start out at the top. “I worked on the factory flodr, I drove hi-los (lift trucks),” he said. He also touched on such issues as geographical, racial and economic divisions in the state and ending the state’s Single Business Tax. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA,THELIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Republican gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos speaks to Ivy Glynn, left, from Pella Windows, and Lindsay Root, with iocal cable television program HubTV, at the Genoa Woods Conference Center. Joe Carney, chairman of the Livingston County Democratic Party, later said DeVos lacks a plan to replace the revenue that would be lost if the tax were ended. “The governor’s proposal was you could change or eliminate (the tax), as long as you figure out how to pay the bills,” Carney said. “You’ve got to have a plan.” The first item thrown at DeVos in a question-and-answer session after his speech was unexpected: It was about remarks DeVos’s father, billionaire Amway Corp. founder Richard M. DeVos Sr., made regarding the Kalamazoo Promise, a program that guarantees a free college education to all Kalamazoo public high school graduates. Some have criticized the elder DeVos’s statements as racist because they implied that innercity black students would not value a paid college education as highly as other students. DeVos said the comments attributed to his father were taken out of context and their real meaning lost. “My father’s comments were about being careful about things that come for free, because they risk losing their value,” DeVos told the audience. “He said the Kalamazoo Promise was a wonderful thing for Kalamazoo, and let’s make sure it stays valued.” Some in the audience might have wondered afterward if the questioner might have been a Democratic “plant” in the overwhelmingly Republican county, but county GOP Chairwoman Cindy Pine questioned that. “He may be someone who sincerely believes in what he had to say,” Pine said. “If he was a plant, he might have been a Republican Stabenow, Conyers rally Democrats At party dinner,they predict gains in November elections BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter More than 160 of the Livingston County Democratic Parly faithful gave a rousing reception to two lawmakers who spoke at the annual Edwin B. Winans Day Dinner on Sunday at the American Spirit Centre in Brighton Township. Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Detroit Rep. John Conyers touched on famiUar themes, including excessive oil-company profits, health care, education and the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs overseas - especially to China. Both predicted gains in Congress by Democrats in the November elections. Conyers cited the war in Iraq, the economy and a national debt in the trillions of dollars as reasons Americans have become disillusioned with the current administration. “I believe this is our year,” Conyers said. “Bush is leaving a mess, a huge debt.” Stabenow and Conyers said a fundamental change in the economic system is occurring under the Bush administration, resulting in an erosion of the middle class and an increasing division between the “haves and havenots.” “We are in a fight for our way of life,” Stabenow said, pointing to the exodus of jobs to China, India 'We are in a fight for our way of life. If we lose our ability to make things, we're going to lose our middle class.' Sen. Debbie Stabenow,, speaking to Livingston County Democrats and other countries. “If we lose our ability to make things, we’re going to lose our middle class.” She also touched on an increasing problem of counterfeit auto parts coming from China and the artifidalfy low value of China’s currency vs. the U.S. dollar to give it a more favorable position in pricing. “We want to frade, but we want to export our products, not our jobs,” she said. Stabenow was first elected to the Senate in 2000 after two terms in the House finm the 8th District. Before that she served in the state Senate and House. Conyers has served 20 straight terms in the U.S. House and is considered the dean of the Congressional Black Caucus. Due to redistricting in 2000, he now represents several downriver communities in Wayne County. Among Stabenow’s proposals was to turn unused farm fields in Michigan into farm factories to grow com and sugar beets for ethanol and soybeans for use in soy diesel fuel to help free the nation and the state from dependence on foreign oil. Stabenow’s remarks were interrupted with several standing ovations and shouts of approval. “We were all thrilled with Debbie’s speech,” Brighton Democrat Mike Bignell said afterward. He said the Democratic Party is making inroads in Livingston County, and he said that bodes well for his party’s chances in the fall election. “We feel quite optimistic about it, and are getting great response from people who are fed up and looking for a change,” Bignell said, adding he thinks &at is also true on the state and national levels. Kathy Carney, the party’s 8th District chairwoman, said state and national events also are affecting the dynamics of local politics, causing her party to gain new members. “The new people who are stepping forward have never been political before,” Carney said. “What’s happening in the state and nation has made them more tuned in.” As a result, she predicted, the parly is “going to elect a few people at the local level this year.” The Democratic Party hasn’t had representation on the county level since the death of John Donohue of Unadilla 'Township in 1996. He had served nine years on the Livingston Coimty Board of Commissioners. Stabenow’s speech was taped and the audience was told footege will be used as a backdrop for her coming campaign commercials.

Jennifer Granholm to speak at an upcoming chamber event. “I am definitely working on that,” McConeghy said. “If possible we would love to have a debate.” T o m T o le n c a n b e r e a c h e d a t t t o l e 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 0 9 .

' I t ' s t h e s a m e D Q , b u t b e t t e r ' New Hamburg 'Grill and Chill' includes outside seating, breakfast menu RETAIL REPORT BY HOPE LASH News Special Writer Blending the best of the old with a whole lot of new, the Hamburg Daily Queen re-opened last week after a major winter rebuilding project. Now called the Hamburg DQ Grill and Chill, the building near the comer of Merrill Road and M- 36 was demolished last winter, to be replaced by an eye-catching new facility with outside seating and an added breakfast menu. “It’s the same smiling faces plus some new ones,” said owner Brian Boeving. “The same favorite menu items plus some new. It’s the same DQ, but better.” The warm weather, spring sports and customers who have been craving their favorite DQ treat, kept the lines long during the first week of operation, but most seemed satisfied with the quality and service. “So far I’m loving it,” said Hamburg resident Joe Hockey, who was enjoying an evening meal with his family. “I like the new image and it seems to be very efficient. We got our order very quickly.” Hamburg resident Mary Schmaltze was pleased with the new look and the traffic. “Fm glad to see so much local business,” she noted. “It’s nothing like what I expected,” said 12-year-old Amanda Nowac2yk of Hamburg Township. “It’s a lot better than what I thought. I like the inside. I think it’s cozy.” The Hamburg Dairy Queen has been a family operation since 1981 when Brian and Diana Boeving bought it fi-om the previous owner. “We bought this place, never thinking it was going to be a career,” said Brian. “I was 25 and I just said, ‘let’s do this and see where it goes.’” Since ffien, the Dairy Queen at Buck Lake has grown as much as Hamburg Township. In 1986, the store was enlarged to include food service and an inside dining area. “Inside and outside, it’s a great restaurant and only the fourth DQ Grill and Chill in the state,” explained Brian Boeving. “Once it was completed, I realized it was 10 times better than I imagined from the drawings.” Manager Matt Boeving, one of Brian’s five children that has worked in the store, noted that “it’s designed to serve the customer faster.” His older brother, Brian Jr., also is a store manager. “We’re really proud of the store and I think our customers will be pleased too,” he said. The decor has an upscale feel that features 13 different kinds of tile and slate plus maple trim. The larger dining area includes comfortable booths, padded chairs, music, and tables for larger groups as well as individuals plus outside dining on the patio. “It’s very nice to able to sit outside and enjoy a view of the lake,” said Putnam Township resident Ron Rein, who enjoyed his DQ cone while sitting in tiie new outdoor patio. “It’s a nice improvement from the old building.” Besides the new decor, the newest DQ Grill and Chill offers an expanded lunch and dinner menu as well as a breakfast menu served 6-10:30 a.m. Breakfast includes cinnamon rolls, biscuit sandwiches, pancakes, scrambled eggs and the ultimate hash brown platter, a yummy concoction of hash brown potatoes, scrambled eggs, peppers, onions and cheese. New offerings on the lunch and dinner menu include fish and chips, grilled turkey sandwich, PhUly steak sandwich and chicken quesadillas. And there there’s the ice cream.

Earlier this month, voters defeated the Howell Carnegie District Library bond issue and Headlee override millage, and the Putnam Township bond issue for a new township hall-senior center- fire station. Still, a Putnam Township fire millage renewal passed, making Green Oak Township officials, who also are seeking renewals, more optimistic. Township voters will be asked Aug. 8, during the primary election, to approve a 1.55 mill-request for the police department and a 1.45-miU proposal for the fire department. Those are the same tax levels now levied, amounts that have been reduced the past three years due to successive Headlee rollbacks. The Headlee amendment to the Michigan Constitution requires that properly taxes increase no more than the inflation rate, or by five percent, whichever is lower. The police millage approved in 2003 originally totaled 1.6 mills, but has dropped by 0.05 mill due to the mandated rollbacks. The 1.5-mill fire millage passed in 2002 has decreased by the same amount. Without Headlee, the 3 mills between the two renewal issues on the Aug. 8 ballot would cost a homeowner about $300 a year in property taxes on a home valued at $200,000, and with a state equalized value of $100,000. Green Oak Township Supervisor Mark St. Charles said the amount will actually be less because the millage, if passed, would be immediately subject to a Headlee rollback. Resident and property owner Ann TYaye applauded the township for taking the uncertain economy into account in its decision to hold the line. “I think the (board) made a wise decision,” Tbaye said, adding that having a millage in place for six years will help property owners plan ahead. “When you get an extra two years, you kind of know how to do your budget,” she said. The two department heads - Police Chief Bob Brookins and Fire Chief Bill Steele - say they can live within the amounts approved by the board. “We’ll make it happen,” Brookins said at last week’s Board of Trustees meeting. “We’re giving you the same level of services as before, and I would hope that (voters) are going to say yes.” “(Although) there’s always unknowns, we can operate under the current levy,” Steele said. “We certainly understand the plight of the community and don’t want to cause any hardship.” Steele said the biggest problem under a tight budget would be replacing old equipment. “We have a 20-year-old (fire) truck that would cost $600,000 to replace ” he said, citing one example. ’fraye said the township, in the southeastern comer of Livingston County, needs to maintain its own fire and police departments. “You need services, and without the fire department and police department we’d be in a bad situation, and we’d have to rely on other departments that are at the other end of the county,” she said. The expiring 1.6-mfil police request approval in 2003 came after twice being defeated at 2.5 mills. The Township Board got the message and towered the request. “The problem was the amount,” said Township 'If’ustee Rick Seymour. The new millages, if approved, would run throu^ 2012. Thistees discussed going for a five-year issue, but settled on six. “Six years would be more stable funffing,” said Township Clerk Mike Sedlak. In addition, the expiration date would coincide with the 2012 presidential election year, rather than in an off-year, when fewer voters come to the polls and a special election would have to be scheduled, costing township taxpayers money. Board members last week debated whether to request the pre- Headlee rollback amount, but thought better of it. “In my opinion, don’t go for 1.5 and 1.6,” 'B’ustee Rick Seymour admonished the board. “Keep it at the existing amount, it will have a much better chance of passing,” he said. Fellow trustees agreed, voting unanimously to submit the ballot issues to the county clerk’s office. May 16 is the deadline for submitting the ballot language to have it placed on the primary election ballot. Another candidate seeks judge post A seventh candidate has joined the list of those vying for the right to succeed Susan Reck as Livingston County Probate Court judge this year. Anthony Kandt, a Howell attorney, was not listed on the Michigan Secretary of State's Web site by The News' deadline Tuesday night, and therefore was not included in the list of candidates published Wednesday. A Livingston County Clerk's office spokeswoman said that, due to the large field of candidates, a primary runoff will be held Aug. 8. The top two vote-getters will face off in the November general election. IN BRIEF McGonegal to seek state House seat A Green Oak Township manufacturing sales representative is a candidate on the Democratic ballot for 66th District state representative. Mike McGonegal is expected to announce his candidacy Monday at the Mill Pond in downtown Brighton. He paid the $100 candidate filing fee April 4 with the Michigan Secretary of State’s office in lieu of gathering petition signatures. His only opponent so far is incumbent Rep. Chris Ward, R-Brighton Township, who also paid the $100 filing fee. The filing deadline is 4 p.m. May 16. McGonegal, 57, a former Ohio parole officer, said he is running because he thinks he can do a better job than his opponent. “I’m not happy with my current representative, and thought I’d take a more active role,” McGonegal said. He said the loss of jobs in the state is the other reason. “The state is being de-industrialized, and almost nobody is speaking about that,” he said. Pinckney schools raise lunch prices Pinckney Community Schools is raising student lunch prices for the 2006-07 school year. Lunch prices will increase 25 cents across the board to $2.15 at the elementary schools, $2.30 at Navigator and Pathfinder schools and $2.30 and $2.95 at the high school. Pinckney schools’ milk prices also will go up five cents to 50 cents. The increases were approved by the District’s Board of Education May 4. They are necessary because of increased milk and fuel prices incurred the last two years, said Linda Moskalik, assistant superintendent of finance and operations. Pinckney’s lunch prices have not been increased since the 2004-05 school year. F r o m N e w s s t a f f r e p o r t s E W U AND VOU W O N T HAVE TO. EITHER.

Howell family will be warmer next winter. The first Not-So-Extreme ' Home Makeover project began • April 26 at the Jann family home in Howell. It is a project »* by the Women’s Council and Remodelors Council of the • Home Builders Association of • Livingston County and the Women’s Resource Center, based east of Howell in Genoa Township. “We chose the project that would make the biggest difference for a family,” said Lynne Gatz of First Horizon Home Loans, who reviewed the applications along with HBALC member Steve Bellinger and Carol Demerly of Title Source. The Jann house, which was built in 1926, had no insulation, and Applegate Insulation in Okemos, a member of the Home Builders Association’s Remodelors. Council, donated part of the job of insulating the attic. The rest of the job was paid for through funds raised by the Women’s Council. “This was the worst winter we ever had,” said Pam Jann. “We have three children, who all have compromised immune systems. We had to pay $3,000 in heating bills and it was still freezing.” * Jann said that it was hard for the family to ask for help, but that “it affects our ability to take care of our children properly,” which prompted the request. Linda Lock, owner of Maplewood Building Co., came up Dennis and Pam Jann of Howell received the first Not-So-Extreme Home Makeover, courtesy of the Women's Council of the Home Builders Association of Livingston County. The Janns have three children: Abigail, 3, David, 8, and Sam, 6.

Lock was the construction manager for the Women’s Council’s Women Build last year, when a group made up mostly of women built a Habitat for Humanity house in Handy Township. “It felt good to give back to the community, and I had the idea for the makeovers as a way to continue giving back,” Lock said. “We decided to take on little projects that make a big difference,” Gatz said.

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2006 A l l V o te rs t o d e c id e fir e m illa g e Staffing Brighton's on-call department becoming more challenging ELECTiON 2006 BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter * Louise Schlaff of Brighton is a retiree on a fixed income, and can ill afford additional expenses. But she says the millage increase sought by the Brighton Area Fire Department is worth the slight sacrifice. “I think they need it,” said Schlaff, who lives with her husband, George Schlaff, in the Woodridge Hills condominium development. Schlaff said people have a lot of money invested in their homes and need to feel secure. “There’s increased building in the area, and the losses can be greater in case of fire, as the community becomes (wealthier),” Schlaff said. Voters in the city of Brighton, Brighton Township and Genoa Township will go to the polls Aug. 8 to decide the fate of a 1.25 mill, 5-year request. The tax would replace a levy of just over nine-tenUis of a mill that expires this year. That operational levy for the paid, on-call, mostly parttime fire department is down from the original one mill because of Headlee rollbacks. The Headlee Amendment to the Michigan constitution limits tax increases to 5 percent or the inflation rate, whichever is lower. When property assessments rise faster, the millage is rolled badk by the local unit of government. Kevin Holloway of the Woodland Hills subdivision in Brighton Township said the requested increase is reasonable. “I don’t think it’s going to hit people too hard,” Holloway said. The extra millage is a small price to pay for fire protection, he said. One mill equals $1 for every $1,000 of property value. So under a 1.25 mill levy, the property tax would be $125 a year for the owner of home with a $200,000 market value and $100,000 state equalized value.

PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS The Brighton Area Fire Department is going for a miilage request in August of 1.25 miiis for 5 years. From left, Lt. Mike Kennedy and Firefighter Josh Lyon, below, do some weekly checks of the equipment. said the 1.25 mills compares to levies ranging from 0.89 mill in Hamburg Township to 1.97 mills for the Hartland-Deerfield Fire Authority. Jones said the department receives no appropriation from its three municipalities. The authority covers Brighton, Brighton Township and eastern Genoa Township, with Howell covering the west half of Genoa. Jones said Brighton did its part by lowering taxes one mill after the fire millage passed because the city no longer had to fund its own department. DeLoach said the department’s size is constantly changing because of firefighters who move on to full-time jobs in larger communities. He called the turnover the biggest challenge smaller departments face. DeLoach also said in the next decade Brighton will be forced to go to a full-time department. “We’re working hard to keep a paid-on-call department, but we’re on the cusp of a transition,” he said. For the past two years the department has had two full-time firefighters who work 6 a.m.-6 p.m. shifts to ensure timely response when on-call personnel are at work, often outside the ment is operating on a budget of $2.2 million for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. If the 1.25 mills passes, it would generate about $2.5 million in the first year. The department has about 60 firefighters plus seven fulltime employees, a chief, deputy chief, two lieutenants, two fire inspectors and a secretaiy Fire Authority President Kathy Jones, a Brighton City Council member, said the authority opted to go for a minimal increase. “We decided that with the economy we would tighten our belt, but not to the point where we would compromise our service,” Jones said. Fire Chief Martin DeLoach county. DeLoach also said it’s also getting harder to attract new recruits. “It hurts that we are an affluent community in terms of attracting the personnel we need who are willing to commit 11.5 hours per week,” he said. The training also requires a major commitment. Firefighter candidates must have 400 hours of classroom training in the first six months and 20 hours of onthe- job training before being certified for emergency response. Firefighter trainees start at $7.80 an hour, which goes up to $12 when they achieve firefighter status. That training costs money, and there are other, more expensive needs. DeLoach said he will need $2 million in the next several years to replace aging fire engines and a 17-year-old ladder truck. Fire engines cost $350,000-$450,000 and ladder trucks $1 million. The normal life expectancy of a fire truck is 12-15 years. DeLoach said fixed costs are going up each year, fi’om fuel for gas-guzzling fire engines to health care. The seven-member authority meets the second Thursday of the month at 8 a.m. at the Brighton fire station, 615 W.

It was in May of 2003 that we launched the weekly newspaper “where your news is our news.” It’s been a blast each and every week since then to deliver you a free weekly newspaper that is 100 percent local news. All local, all the time. We’re not trying to be something more than that. If you are looking for the syndicated commentary on the latest shenanigans in Washington, we won’t have that. But if you want to keep up on the latest developments in fast-growing Livingston County or you want to know when the farmers markets open in the spring, well, we’ve got that covered. The Livingston Community News operates out of an office in downtown Brighton, right next to Great Harvest Bread on West Main Street. That’s where you’ll find our reporters: James Briggs, Lisa Carolin, Jason Deegan, Casey Hans, Leanne Smith and Tom Tolen. That’s where you’ll find photographer Jamie Charbeneau- Pisella - if she’s not out on assignment somewhere in your neighborhood. That’s where copy editors James Briggs and Casey Hans put together the newspaper each week. That’s also where you’ll find advertising sales representatives Erika Copeland, Barry Flees, Joanne Holsinger, Coreena Storms and Heidi Zabik. You can also visit circulation managers Kathy Braun, Michele Ortiz-Cash and Eric Lucas. Stop in to see us and you’ll be greeted by either Gisela Iwanyschyn or Cathy Sales of our office support staff. And we do want you to stop by. You, our readers, have been very gracious in the last three years. Many of you have shared your stories with us. You have welcomed us into your homes in many different ways. You have helped us to write stories about important community events and about your friends and neighbors. We thank you for that and we look forward to a long and lasting relationship. In praise of mothers None of us would be where we are today without mom. She hauled us around for nine months before giving birth, then hauled us around to family gatherings, soccer practices and school events for what must have seemed like forever to her. In return, we threw temper tantrums when she said no, complained about her rules and disappointed her more than once over the years. In return she hugged us, taught us how to use all the silverware at a restaurant, surprised us with birthday parties and always seemed to know when a batch of homemade cookies would make things better. Sunday is Mother’s Day. It may seem like one of those contrived, Hallmark holidays, but so what. Sometimes we need a day like that to make sure we pause for a moment to think back on all the things mom has done for us. If you can, spend part of the day with your mom. If you are several states away, make time for a phone call and tell her how much you’ve learned from her. Tell her how much her emotional support has meant throughout high school and college and your relationships. Tell her how much you love her.Then tell her again.

The small group from Howell’s Freshman Campus spent the night on the school grounds in their “box city” last Friday as they learned lessons of homelessness whUe collecting pledges and donations of food for the local Gleaners Community Food Bank. “It’s everywhere,” said student Brittney Frank of the homeless problem. “I wanted to share what people have to go through. It’s going to be a long night, but we have games and we can read books.” Part of the experience included no electronic devices - cell phones, handheld games or portable music players either were left at home or kept in chaperones’ cars for safekeeping. Students were allowed to bring a flashlight. Elliott Tesmer had no light, so he was completing his makeshift box early in the evening before dark. He participated in the project to learn something, he said. “It’ll be pretty cool. I guess I’ll think about stuff I take for granted.” The homeless city was visible from Grand River Avenue as students situated their corrugated cardboard “homes” shored up with duct tape to best avoid the wind and find ways to stay warm. The 20-hour experience started at 3 p.m. Friday and ended Saturday at 11 a.m. and included talks from local representatives of the church-based REACH homeless shelter program (Reaching Everyday Against Community Homelessness) and a staff member fi’om The Connection, a temporary teen shelter fun by the Livingston Family Center. Students each were given two peanut butter sandwiches and a of bottle of water to ration in whatever way they saw fit. “Overall, I’m very pleased. The kids seem to be engaged,” said Freshman Focus teacher Cindy Perlman who organized the event as part of her class curriculum. “I think that they’re going to leave this with something. As they grow up, I hope they will look back to things (like this) that meant a lot.” A trio of students - Josh Tomaszewski, Shaylin Cawley and Tashina Obrecht - took the lead with the project which included students from both this semester and last fall’s Freshman Focus classes. Tomaszewski worked to get corporate sponsors for the event. “I just really wanted to get involved in this,” he said. “I thought it was a good idea - a good way to get involved in the community.” Cawley added that the project “was a good way to show people that freshmen care.” She said although she likes to help others, she has never done this type of a project before. “I’ve never tried walking in their shoes,” she said. Obrecht said shfe has spent time with the REACH shelter program as a volunteer. She said the project really brought the problem home to her. “I didn’t realize it was as big as it is,” she said. She and two others students, Kristen Miller and Nicole Mikols are creating a documentary of the student experience as part of their computer class with the help of their teacher. They said they hope their film will have an impact on the homeless problem and to encourage future students PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Some 20 ninth-graders from at Howell High School's Freshman Campus camped out in boxes on the school grounds last week to learn about homelessness.

This is the first year for the Freshman Focus class. It helps ninthgraders transition to the larger school they will enter next year, said Freshman Campus Principal Larry Cowger. Some 200 students have gone through it, he said. “Something happens as kids transfer from middle school to high school and it’s not all good,” said Cowger. “The middle schools are more nurtur- Above,from left, Olivia Nowka, 15, Megan Fulton, 15, Karen Heger, 14, Paige Sutton, 15, Charlie French, 14, and Aubrey Etue, 15,play cards to pass the time.

This is the beginning of when we make or break our kids in a lot of ways.” Although Perlman and her students made the homeless project happen, she credits Superintendent Chuck Breiner with the original idea. During a talk in her the class last fall about the future of high schools, Breiner mentioned it, asking students “wouldn’t you rather learn about homelessness About homelessness ■ Every night in the United States, about 750,000 people experience homelessness - more than the population of Washington, D.C. In a year, between 2.5 million and 3.5 million people experience homelessness for some period of days. ■ There are about 150,000 chronically homeless people who live on the streets for years. Many require medical and mental health services in addition to help in finding a home. ■ Over the course of a year, families with children make up about half of the homeless population. ■ A typical family without a home consists of a young unmarried mother with two or three children. Many of these women are fleeing domestic violence; most lack work skills needed to support their families. ■ Most families do not stay homeless for long - about 80 percent rise out of their situation quickly.

Here, Hailey Appleyard, 9, from Howell's Hutching Elementary Annual event for 3rdgraders keeps them in touch with waning agricultural life BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Phillip Lachowicz stuck his nose just inches away from a little black and white piglet and gave a hearty snort. The piglet answered, and after the surprise wore off, the pair embarked on a short but amusing conversation of snorts and grunts that entertained several attendees at this year’s Project RED. “I don’t know what he’s saying, 'Some things never change. Boys love tractors and girls love calves.' Jim Sparks, Hartland 4-H leader said Judy Smith, of Cohoctah Township, who accompanied her husband, Ray, and their animals to the fourth annual event at Jean Wylie-Abbe’s 30-acre Howell Township Farm. “We’re communicating,” said Phillip, a third-grader at Howell’s Challenger Elementary School. “I’ve never communicated with a pig before.” Phillip joined nearly 600 students Howell and Pinckney at the May 4 Rural Education Day, hosted by the Livingston County Farm Bureau. “I love farms,” Phillip said. “I love the tractors and feeding the cows and other animals. I think pigs are my favorite now.” Project RED, which teaches children about farm life, is open to all Livingston County thirdgraders. Participants see pigs, cattle, horses, chickens, goats, sheep and rabbits. They learn how wool is spun into yarn, how dogs help heard animals, how honey is made and how horses get new shoes. “It’s so exciting,” said Lynn Lingenfelter of Howell, who joined her son, Joshua, 9, and D Z THE LIVINGSTON COM MUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2006 S t u d e n t s ' k n i t t i n g e f f o r t s c o m e t o g e n e r o u s e n d USA CAROLIN.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Pamela Marie Heggie, chapter coordinator for Project Linus in Livingston County, receives blankets from students who helped knit them at the Charyl Stockwell Academy charter school in Hartland Township. Pictured are Allie Sherman, Maverick Hansen-Meier and Sarah Harbaugh. BY LISA CAROLIN News S taff Reporter Colorful, handmade blankets were piled high at the Charyl Stockwell Academy in Hartland Township on May 4. A group of 15 students nicknamed “kids with a cause” saw four months of work come to fruition at a tea put on by parents. They spent 75 minutes every Friday since January knitting and crocheting blankets. “First I had to learn to knit and crochet, and then I taught the students,” said parent Amy Mazure, who provided the tea, sandwiches, fruits and sweets for the tea. “Once they had enough squares, they put them together to make the blankets.” “It was hard to knit, but then I got good at it,” said 8-year-old Elena Fischer. “It’s fun to donate the blankets,” said 10-year-old Jessica Bond. “Why not help?” One of the recipients of the blankets was Pamela Marie Heggie, chapter coordinator for Livingston County of Project Linus, a group that donates blankets to children who are seriously ill. “There’s always a need for blankets and blanketeers,” said Heggie. “The generosity of the kids here is amazing.” Marilyn Himvitz, activities director of the Heritage Manor Nursing Home in Flint, was the other recipient of the blankets. “I’m overwhelmed you’d spend time making blankets to give people you’ll never meet,” Hurwitz told the students. “You are so gracious and generous.” Principal Shelley Stockwell said the school is glad to do community service. “That’s how we’ll build a strong society.” COMMUNITY SCRAPBOOK COURTESY, IRENE ONDERCHANiN Youth Assets Coalition event Area teens Stephen Henninger, Nicole Onderchanin and Chelsea Arlington pose with the many baskets to be auctioned off Thursday, May 18 as part of the Youth Assets Coaiition fundraiser at Crystai Gardens Banquet Center.

B4 THE LIVINGSTON COMM U N IT Y NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2006 F o w l e r v i l i e a l u m s s o u g h t f o r f i g h t s o n g c e l e b r a t i o n 2 students composed 'Gold and Purple' 75 years ago BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News Special Writer Fowlerville Schools band director Terri Palazzolo is looking for a few good alumni, and she’ll take the ones who can’t quite carry a tune any longer, too. “We’re looking for all those alumni that played in band to help us celebrate the 75th anniversary of the school fight song,” said Palazzolo. “And since it’s probably been a few years since (they’ve) made contact with an instrument, we’re suggesting they get those chops a movin’.” The school fight song and its creators will be highlighted during the annual Cabaret concert, set for 3 p.m., Sunday, May 21. Festivities will be in the high school auditorium. According to Palazzolo, the Fowlerville “Gold and Purple” fight song is unique in that it was written specifically for Fowlerville High by two students, sisters Mary and Josephine (Jo) Finlan. They composed the orchestral piece in 1931 after then-superintendent H.T Smith “challenged the student body to write a school song.” The song was arranged for marching band 10 years later. Heather (Wilkinson) Yue, a 1991 Fowlerville High School alumni, is one of 50 anticipated alumni who will play at the event. The french horn player has always supported alumni activities and said she is particularly excited about this RURAL DAY FROM B1 B e in g c lo s e t o a n im a l s h e lp s c h i ld r e n a v o id f e a r in g t h e m his Challenger Elementary class at the event. “The kids aren’t just seeing animals. They are learning about a way of life and everything that’s involved with it.” Sixty volunteers, many of them local farmers, manned 12 different stations. “It’s fun to watch this,” said Jim Sparks, Hartland’s 4-H Rangers Club leader. “Some things never change. Boys love tractors and girls love calves.” When Wylie-Abbe went to school in Hartland in the 1950s, just about everyone in her class lived on a farm and milked a few cows. That’s not the case in Livingston County any more as farmland continues to be turned into residential and commercial development. “Being close to the animals and touching them and talking to them is good,” Lingenfelter said. “It helps them not be afraid of the animals, and it teaches them about how important agriculture is.” Before moving the event to 'Being close to the animals and touching them and talking to them is good/ Lynn Lingenfelter of Howell, who joined her son, Joshua,9,and his Challenger Elementary class the farm WyUe-Abbe has owned for 45 years, Livingston County joined Clinton, Eaton and Ingham county farm bureaus in hosting Project RED at Michigan State University. “We’re really happy to be able to do this here,” said Deb Holmes, the county Farm Bureau’s administrative manager. “It is very important to keep kids aware of agriculture. It’s important to us all.” L e a n n e S m i t h c a n b e r e a c h e d a t l s m i t h @ l i v f 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 1 . one. Yue will be accompanied by family, including a 3-monthold daughter who is Terri Palazzolo’s goddaughter. “Music has always been really important to me,” said Yue, who studied the woodwind instrument under Palazzolo for six years. The event also may prove to be a family reunion of sorts for Yue as her great-uncle. Bob, a clarinet player, will also likely come back to Fowlerville to play.P alazzolo is thrilled with the response from FHS alumni thus far, adding that “several of them will b^e coming in from out of state.” Tracey (Deichert) Peckins, an 1988 graduate and Fowlerville resident, does not have nearly that far to drive to attend the event, but she is excited about it just the same. “It’s going to be fun to see all my classmates, to see the kids who played really well in high school, but maybe they don’t now,” she joked. Like Yue, Peckins learned the basics of french horn from Palazzolo in sixth grade. She is excited to go back and play, but admits “I don’t know how good we’ll sound.” For Palazzolo, it’s not necessarily about the presentation. “I miss these kids, and it’ll be nice to see them. Also, for the most part, this will be my last alumni concert,” said the veteran teacher. With 29 years of service, she said retirement is not that far away. Alumni wishing to participate in the event should contact Palazzolo by phone, 517-223- 6042, or via e-mail at palazzol@ fvl.kl2.mi.us.

The Brighton relay is one of the largest events in the state, and this will be its 14th year. Last year $393,000 was raised at the Brighton event, and Jason Keech, community development director for the American Cancer Society office in Ann Arbor, says the organization hopes to raise more than $400,000 this year. At least 85 teams will be participating. “The participation in Livingston County is amazing,” said Keech. “The county is full of volunteers that really understand the mission - educating the public about cancer screening, early detection and prevention.” The opening ceremony begins at 7 p.m. Friday followed by the survivor lap, when cancer Relay for Life ■ What: Event to raise money for the American Cancer Society. ■ When: May 19-20, 7 p.m.-7 p.m. ■ Where: Brighton High School track, 7878 Brighton Road, Genoa Township. ■ Details: www.acsevents.org/relay/mi /brighton survivors together make the debut lap around the track after which participants join in.

Keech says that all cancer survivors are invited to come for dinner before the relay at 5:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria and to walk the survivor victory lap around the track. The Relay for Life is open to the public.

THE LIVINGSTON COM MUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2006 B5 Students win first grants from Howell education foundation BY STEPHENIE KOEHN News Special Writer That 13-year-old Brooke Baylis, of Marion Township, is reading a book titled, “Castle in the Air,” seems particularly appropriate. An eighth-grade student at Howell’s Highlander Way Middle School, she is one of two students from the district selected to attend Space Academy at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. The other student bound for the “space camp” is 12-year-old Kyle Johnson, of Iosco Township, a seventh-grader at Three Fires Middle School. The two will leave Sunday and return May 19. Both said they were bowled over at being selected to participate in the renowned educational program that teaches students about the space shuttle and how the Kennedy Space Center and Johnson Space Center support shuttle operations. Camp trainees will learn space shuttle operations from prelaunch to landing. They also will learn about major mission events in an actual or simulated mission timeline. “I’m very excited,” said Johnson, the son of Carolyn and Kurt Johnson. “I didn’t think I’d win. I like space and building stuff. I want to be an aeronautical engineer when I grow up.” Baylis, daughter of Kelly and Daniel Baylis, said she, too, is thrilled. “I’m excited by the whole experience,” she said. “I’ve always liked space. The farthest I’ve been from home is Tennessee and I’ve never been on a plane before. It’s going to really be great!” The chance to go to the camp for children ages 12-14 - is partly funded through a $500 grant from the 3-year-old Howell Public Schools Education Foundation. This was the foundation’s first award, but more have already been given out, said Mike Hall, who chairs the foundation’s COURnSY, PAUL RC3GERS Middle school students Kyle Johnson, left, from Three Fires, and Brooke Baylis, third from left, from Highlander Way, received space camp grants from the Howell Public Schools Education Foundation. With them are science teacher Becky Young, second from left, and the foundation's former chairman Paul Rogers. 'We look for projects where small amounts of money will have a large impact/ Paul Rogers, former chairman of the Howell Public Schools Education Foundation, about how the group distributes its grant money board of directors. The foundation has awarded $5,000 in grants for this year, he said. The idea of the foundation is, through donations, wills, trusts and other bequests, to build a fund that can be used to provide direct monetary support for classroom activities and projects, said former chairman Paul Rogers. Much of the money will go to teachers in the form of classroom grants in the arts, sciences and math. “We look for projects where small amounts of money will have a large impact,” Rogers said. In the case of Baylis and Johnson, the grant came with some strings: “A requirement is (that) they have to come back and report to us about their experience and what it has done for them,” Rogers said. The foundation, established in November 2003, now holds nearly $50,000, Hall said. The goal over the next five to 10 years is to build the fund to about $2 million, thereby increasing the number of grants it can award. “There are a lot of people in the community who have significant estates, and I think if we can demonstrate that this is a valuable effort, that they may be interested in contributing,” Rogers said, adding that the foundation soon would be seeking corporate support as well. The idea to send a student or students to space camp came about when last year’s Michigan Teacher of the Year wasn’t able to go. So Rebecca Young, a Teacher of the Year finalist who teaches science at Three Fires Middle School, was asked to attend instead. “I went to camp with about 100 teachers from all over the world,” Young said. The international teachers each brought two students with them and the other teachers were told they could each sponsor one student to the camp for one week. “I wanted to be sure that both of our middle schools were represented, so I applied for - and got - a grant from the Howell Public Schools Education Foundation,” Young said. “These kids are going to have a wonderful experience. They’ll do simulations of space in a gymnasium-sized room with (mock-ups of) space shuttles and the space station. They’ll do missions just like our astronauts do in space,” she said. “They might work in the space lab or do ‘space walks’ with hydraulics.” Young said organizers even will throw glitches into the mix, to challenge the students to find solutions. Baylis, whose favorite subject is science - she’s taking 9th grade biology this year - said she is excited by the prospect of the entire experience, specifically by lift-off and by the technology in general. She is particularly looking forward to getting her own blue space jumpsuit, which she will be able to bring home with her. Johnson said he most looks forward to learning more about rockets, doing the missions and working in the simulators. And let’s not forget bouncing around in zero gravity. “I’ve never been in a zerogravity room before,” Johnson said. “That would be really fun.” N E E D E X T R A C A S H ?

On the heels of that successful event, the Gleaners Community Food Bank is asking local businesses and residents to participate this weekend in the nation’s largest one-day food drive. The 14th Annual National Association of Letter Carriers and U.S. Postal Service Food Drive will be held Saturday in more than 10,000 communities. Nationally, letter carriers collected nearly 71 million pounds of food in last year’s drive. “The carriers at the Brighton post office respect the work that Meals on Wheels does, and we hope ... it will encourage others in our community to donate to the program as they are experiencing tough times,” said spokeswoman Nancy Swift. Last year. Gleaners received one million pounds of food collected by letter carriers throughout southeast Michigan. Locally, the Howell, Brighton, and Pinckney post offices will team up for the effort, and Two Men and a Truck, Spartan Foods, the Teamsters Union and Oliver Farms will transport the food from area post offices to Gleaners. Junior high school students from Ore Creek Community Church in Hartland Township will help at the Howell post office, and Shared Harvest Food Pantry volunteers will heft boxes in Brighton. From the Fill the Gazebo drive, which included a second location in Howell this year, the 20,000 pounds of food, personal hygiene and other household items collected will go from the Gleaners Community Food Bank program to 28 agencies in Livingston County. More than $5,400 was received in cash donations. “It went absolutely fantastic,” said Candye Hinton, a member of the Fill the Gazebo planning committee. “The weather cooperated and the businesses were receptive and we want to say thank you.’’ 'This year, an estimated 75 to 100 volunteers helped collect the donated items. According to Erica Karfonta, Gleaners’ Livingston County general manager, it’s not too late to contribute to Fill the Gazebo. Donors can drop off bags of nonperishable food and personal hygiene items at any county real estate office or at the food pantry during office hours. Julie Harris, director of the Shared Harvest Food Pantry, said the program has seen a marked increase in need the last two years and now goes through 12,000-15,000 pounds of food a week. Shared Harvest Food Pantry is at 5840 Sterling Drive, off Dorr Road in Genoa Township; the phone number is 517-548- 3710.

For the third time in five years, the Gladiators are set to experience a new set of teams to compete with for a league championship. The addition of four new schools - Portland, Perry, Owosso and Corunna - to the Capital Area Activities Conference has forced a realignment from three divisions to four, beginning in the 2007-08 school year. The Gladiators, along with current rivals DeWitt and Haslett, will stay in the third division, and be joined by Ionia, Eaton Rapids and Charlotte. The 26-school CAAC is now one of Michigan’s largest conferences, yet still smaller than the Michigan Mega Conference servicing downriver communities, the 0-K Conference near Grand Rapids and the Oakland Activities Association. “Anytime you are involved with a conference that size, there are going to be some drawbacks,” Casteele said. “The positives outweigh the negatives. The only negative is the travel, but I’ve been trying to stress (to fans and school officials), we should be able to even it out with non-league games.” The move has been hotly debated at school board meetings several times the past year. Casteele said more than 15 proposals of realignment have been discussed. In the end, it’s all about compromise, he said. “Everybody can’t be pleased,” he admitted. “When there are 26 different programs, this is the best we can compromise on.” Casteele said the way to combat long road trips like the one to Ionia (nearly 70 miles) will be the luxury of scheduling other CAAC schools in different divisions as non-conference games. Non-league crossover games against other CAAC schools are built into the schedules of football (two) and boys basketball (four). Losing Williamston, a longstanding Fowlerville rival, from its division was a blow, but getting the Hornets on the schedule in football and basketball remains a high priority. Casteele said the new schools in the third division have student populations within 75 students of one another, creating an equal playing field. He said the current divisions could be adjusted every four years, according to student population growth. Fowlerville’s enrollment number (930) puts it in fourth place in the division. “Not everybody can win (championships), but everybody can be fairly competitive in settings like this,” he said. Casteele said the impact on the school will vary from sport to sport. Football, the gem of the athletic department, should remain a title contender. Sports Fowlerville has traditionally struggled in - soccer, cross country and the new boys tennis and golf programs - still need more participation before they can be competitive in any league. Competitive cheer does receive a boost with the addition of several new CAAC programs. “The four new schools bring us up to eight or nine (teams). They can form a league of their own,” he said. After the folding of the former Ingham County League and the birth of the CAAC, some Gladiators must be tired of all the upheaval. This could be the first step to building them a permanent home. “There are going to be more changes, but this (move) is going to help us settle in,” Casteele said.

At the time, Carrow and his wife, Maiy, decided they would retire from their teaching jobs in Brighton when their youngest daughter. Tiffany, graduated from college. Amazingly, Carrow, 57, couldn’t have planned his final season any better. Last week, he won his 800th career game, a 15-0 win over Pinckney, becoming just the fourth coach in state history to top the mark. He’s got his best team in this millennium, a group of sluggers who could win his 12th Kensington Valley Conference title. Carrow, in his 34th year, said he’s going out in style. “People have asked me this, ‘What if you ended at 799 (wins)?’ ” Carrow said. “I’m not in this to win games for myself. I mean this sincerely. I am in this for the kids. I want to get the best of their abilities out of them. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Retiring Brighton varsity baseball coach Mark Carrow jokes with his players in the dugout during a recent practice. The wins have been a byproduct of a lot of good kids.” He had hoped to just slip into retirement quietly, but his supporters won’t let him. They’ve organized a former player day May 15 for a 4 p.m. home game against Swartz Creek and a retirement banquet at 2 p.m. June 4 at Malty Middle School - all to celebrate Carrow’s impact on hundreds of Brighton’s sons and daughters.

As veteran coaches retire, Brighton looks to future Seven Brighton varsity leaders have held their posts for at least 20 years BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter When he took over as athletic director for Brighton Area Schools in 2004, John Thompson identified two immediate concerns. He saw the need for a facility upgrade, something every school district struggles with. The other issue - Brighton’s veteran coaching staff - appeared to be a strength. Brighton’s coaching staff has always been the backbone of a long-standing, winning tradition. Today, Thompson said, the district is on the verge of “a pending crisis” as many of those top coaches inch toward retirement. No other school in Livingston County, and possibly the state, has been blessed with such a large number of respected, dedicated coaches for so long. Seven Brighton varsity head coaches have been in their positions at least 20 years. Three others - football’s Bill Murray, cheerleading’s Kim Klaus and gymnastics co-coaches Nancy Hanes and Nancy Gregory - have held their jobs at least 15 years. Fowlerville, Whitmore Lake, Hartland, Pinckney, Howell and South Lyon high schools combined have just four coaches with at least 15 years experience in one program. “They are one of the reasons that year in and year out, we are pretty competitive,” Thompson said of his veterans. “Continuity is an important element in coaching and bringing teams together, as well as their experience. If you talk to any of those coaches, they’ll tell you ‘I don’t have all the answers, but I have a lot more than I did than I was 25.’ ” How the district replaces those coaches could determine if there’s a cosmic shift in Brighton’s future athletic success. Thompson jokes that he has a “gentlemen’s agreement year to year” to keep his veterans around. “I try to trick them into com- SEE COACHES, C2 ■ Hartland High School has named Marcus Dukes its interim football coach, C2 Brighton High School softball coach Pam Lee- Campbell keeps the box score during a past season's game at Brighton High School.

C2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2006 Hartland hires Dukes as interim football coach Marcus Dukes has ^coached atVassar, ' Howell and St. Louis BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter Hartland has put up its Dukes in trying to build a football program. The Eagles hired Marcus Dukes as interim head coach to take over for Cory Gildersleeve, who was ousted from . the job after a drunk driving conviction earlier this spring. Dukes, 29, an assistant at Hartland last season, has hired his father, John Dukes, to help him. John Dukes was Howell’s coach from 1975-1999, and built a competitive program that went 130-95. Marcus Dukes, who has coached at Vassar, Howell and St. Louis High Schools, said he is excited to work with his father, who was an assistant with the rival Highlanders the past two seasons. “I’ve seen him do it (coach football) well for a lot of years,” said Marcus Dukes, a special education teacher at Hartland High School. “He has had an influence on my football, but it is the non-football lessons that are important.” Hartland interim athletic director Jerry Cowan said Dukes was one of three internal candidates who applied for the job. He said the district will repost the position after the season and conduct another search to find a permanent candidate. “He’s very energetic and a very straight-forward guy,” Cowan said. “He wants to do a good job. He’s putting the best effort forward. Whatever his title is, he’s approaching it as if it was his program. He will let the chips fall where they may in a year.” Marcus Dukes said he’s uncertain how much he’ll tinker with Hartland’s formations on either side of the ball. He said there’ll be significant turnover on the staff. The Eagles have had just two winning seasons since 1995 and were 4-5 last year. “There will be change, just how dramatic remains to be seen,” he said. “We’ll try to make it successful for the players. You just go out there and hope that it pays off.” Dukes admits to feeling the pressure of being an interim. “You’ve got one shot at it. You want everything to be perfect.” 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 jd 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 8 W - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 2 .

CARROW FROM Cl Coach looks forward to travel I said George Reck, a Brighton assistant baseball coach who began working with Carrow in ; 1973. “He demands excellence.” Longtime friends marvel at the athletic prowess of Carrow, a three-sport star at Ann Arbor Pioneer who still throws batting practice every day. Carrow has an uncanny ability to remember games and details from decades ago. His straight-laced coaching style has always resonated with players. Even today, if Carrow hears one bad word from a play- „ er, they’re benched. “I learned more from him than any other baseball coach I had,” said George Hawes, a 1983 graduate who pitched and played outfield. “He has a lot of knowledge. The track record shows that. He took my game, and everyone else’s, to another level.” Looking back Carrow, at age 22, fresh off of a successful baseball career at the University of Michigan, took the Brighton baseball job and began teaching in the district with his wife, a fellow U-M grad. “When I came here, Brighton didn’t win in anything,” he recalled. “You didn’t start from scratch. You started from a negative. I started practice as a psychologist. They were never able to compete and win in any sport. Being an athlete in Brighton almost was looked down on.” Carrow led the Bulldogs to a 12-12 record after 25 straight losing seasons. One of his -biggest memories was that first win, 4-2 over Dexter. “Fm so proud of the first team,” he said. “They stopped a long streak of not being .500. They had unbelievable odds.” Carrow said his first league championship, winning the South Central Conference in 1979, remains special. The 1984 team also holds fond memories. Carrow, forced to cancel the 1983 season after a number of players were caught drinking on a team trip in Florida, attempted to keep the morale upbeat after a slow start. Those Bulldogs rebounded to win 22 straight games. Carrow’s most dominant teams overwhelmed opponents in the late 1990s with talents like all-staters Drew Henson (1995- 98) and Frank Garcia (1997-99), but no Brighton team ever reached the state championship game, one of his few regrets. Winning coaches Brighton coach Mark Carrow will retire in fourth place on the state's all-time win list, according to the Michigan High School Athletic Association record book. All numbers are prior to the 2 0 0 6 season. ■ 907 - Larry Tuttle, Blissfield (907-269-4; 1968-2005) (18-3 in 2006).* ■ 872 - Pat O'Keefe, Grand Ledge (872-250-0;1969- 2005) (19-2 in 2006).* ■ 836 - Tom Noland, Lincoln Park (836-345-0; 1952-2001). ■ 790 - Mark Carrow, Brighton (790-310-9; 1973- 2005) (13-2 in 2006).* * Indicates still active. Henson’s 1998 team, which included Carrow’s son, Chris, lost in the state semifinals to eventual champion Midland. “We had four or five times where we were the best team in the state,” he said. “That’s not an exaggeration. We had unbelievable things happen (in the post-season). ... We’ve never been the luclgr team.” Moving on The Carrows have already sold their house. He and his wife are living in an apartment, and sharing one cell phone. Within two weeks after the season ends, they will move to Ormond Beach, Fla., to a house just a short walk from the ocean. The Carrows are avid travelers. They’ve been to 49 states and roughly 30 countries. He does plan to come back to Michigan regularly in the fall to watch his beloved Wolverines play football. “We want to travel when the kids aren’t out of school, so the lines are shorter,” he said with a laugh. Mary said her husband will miss baseball, but he will also be relieved to be done. “He’ll miss the camaraderie with the boys,” she said. Many connected with the Brighton athletic community will miss him as well. “We are all better people for knowing Mark Carrow,” Brighton freshman baseball coach Chris Weaver said.

The exodus has already begun, offering a_glimpse into just how difficult' the transition might be. Boys golf coach Mike Sanderson retired in 2004 after 25 seasons, leading to two new coaches in two seasons. Lisa Thomas retired in 2005 after 18 seasons as the girls swim coach. After using boys coach Sean Hickman as an interim last season, Thompson is still searching for her replacement. Mark Carrow, the school’s baseball coach since 1973, will retire in June as one of Michigan’s all-time winningest baseball coaches. Girls track coach John Morrison, in his 27th season as head coach, will step down after the season, but he is considering a comeback as an assistant. Boys tennis coach Brian Martin, a retired teacher who has been coaching tennis in some capacity at Brighton since 1976, said he’s not sure if he’ll be back next season. Martin has led the Bulldogs to their best seasons in school history in consecutive years, last season finishing in a tie for 10th at states. The people running Brighton’s track programs - Morrison, distance coach Gary Meehan, throwing coach Joe Orczyk, assistant Pat Herek and boys head coach Bruce Ritter - have more than 150 years combined of coaching service in the district. Bob Ritsma, the boys cross country coach for 37 years, and Meehan, who completed 28 years as the girls cross country coach last fall, have won a combined five state titles. Ironically, for as long as they’ve been around, neither plans to retire any time soon. Ritsma, a retired ■ Name: John Mehrman. ■ School: Hartland High. ■ Local ties: The 18-yearold senior moved from Redford Township to Hartland about 15 years ago. ■ Sports: He starts at third base in baseball and running back-safety in football. ■ Top sports moment: Delivering the gamewinning RBIs in back-toback district games against Swartz Creek and Grand Blanc last season. ■ Employer: He works for Aquamarine Fiberglass Pools & Spas in Milford. ■ Favorite Subject: Business classes. ■ School Involvement: DECCA marketing club. ■ Academics: 2.7 GPA ■ Future: He will attend Northwood University. www.waldeckerauto.com Brighton teacher, said last year he plans to reach 50 years in the business. Meehan’s plans include another four seasons. Morrison admits it’s tough for older coaches to sustain the enthusiasm they once had for the job. “We need some young blood,” he said. “We don’t have the same enthusiasm we had 20 years ago. We bled black and orange. Now we get tired, but when you’re with the kids, you find the energy.” Softball’s Pam Lee-Campbell, who won a state title in 2003 and is among Michigan’s all-time winningest coaches in her sport, echoed that sentiment. Now in her 24th year, Lee- Campbell, called Carrow “a trooper” for hanging on for 34 years. “There are times when it gets tough lately,” Lee-Campbell said. “My kids are growing up. My parents need my help more. Little issues make it more difficult. It adds more stress to my life. I just don’t know when I’ll end.” Conversely, Bill Miller, another retired Brighton teacher in his 23rd year as head coach of girls golf, said “retirement hasn’t even come up yet.” “I enjoy the game of golf and watching the girls compete. I like to think I make a difference,” he said. A change of the old guard might be coming, but that isn’t always bad. After replacing long-time ski coach Dale Harrison in 2005, new coach Renee Rhoades attracted Brighton’s largest team in years and took the boys to the Class A state meet for the first time since 2001. Thompson said he’s will- Bill Murray, gymnastics coaches Nancy Hames and Nancy Gregory have all had Jobs for at least 15 years. ing to let young coaches “grow.” “They will stub their toes and we’ll deal with that,” he said. “You don’t get 20 years of experience in 20 days.” Thompson said the district must start hiring not only good teachers, but also talented coaches. Morrison, a Big Ten champion hurdler, and Carrow, a three-sport high school star who played baseball at the University of Michigan, said that practice helped transform Brighton fi-om “a coach’s graveyard” (as Carrow called it) in the 1970s into the powerhouse it is today. Some of Brighton’s veterans fear what might happen once they go. Meehan said he’s actively pursuing his potential successor, and Morrison’s, too. “It’s much easier to coach when you’re successful,” Meehan said. “When you’ve been around awhile, you’d like to see it continue.” Morrison said the district’s financial woes could keep Brighton from luring the good coaches its athletes deserve. “We need some young people with some real expertise,” Morrison said. “They have to have coaches who are top quality. We’ve got some real fine athletes. They have been coached well, but we can’t place them with just anybody. Good coaches don’t just fall off trees.” Thompson said he’d prefer to hire coaches from within the district, but ultimately, he’ll search for a long-term fit. “I’d rather have a ‘B’ coach that I can count on day in and day out - they will grow - than the ‘A’ coach who will be here for a season,” he said. “At the end of the day, you might see a great season, but then you have a change, and you usually end up stepping backwards a bit because of change.” CONDUCTED BY U-M HEAD COACHES BITSY RITT AND BRUCE 6ER0UE U N I V E R S I T Y O F M I C H I G A N i i i i i l B JUKIOBS and ADULTS/KBIDENTS and COMMUTERS For More InfornMWJOnVisit Vys»w.mgoblue.tOin or Ceil 734.615,9431 j j ^ l b H . _________________________________________________________________ oatWHO-i UNILOCK OF iUIICHIGAN Do-It-Yourself Seminar To Install PAVING STONES, Driveways, Patios, Walkways, Pool Decks, Steps, Retaining Walls &.

Residents along the Huron River in Hamburg Township were hoping that a drier weather forecast will mean they won’t need to fill those sandbags that have been moved into place, just in case, said Livingston County Drain Commissioner Brian Jonckheere. “We’re past the flood stage at this point,” Jonckheere said at press time Wednesday. He said gauging stations on the river are beginning to level off. They hit a peak of 6.72 feet, slightly higher than the 6.5-foot flood stage. But while the water has gone over banks and into yards, he said, residents would not generally find water in their homes until the level of the river hits 7 feet.

Couchman, the Pinckney Community Schools superintendent for the past 10 years, came to the district amid turmoil over privatization of services. DanoslQf, leader of Harper Woods Public Schools for seven years, was hired by a board that was mostly recalled four days later. Both superintendents passed big bond issues for new school buildings. Both are visible in their communities and schools. Both pride themselves in being accessible and approachable. And now Danosl^, 55, will take over the Pinckney schools when Couchman, 60, retires this summer. Danosky’s selection by the district’s school board a week ago was unanunous. “I’m so happy to be coming to Pinckney,” Danosky said. “I think it’s such a good fit.” Danosky was expected to finalize a three-year contract with a base salary of $125,000 this week. He’s scheduled to start July 1, but Couchman will stay on until Aug. 18. “Dan’s the man,” said board Treasurer Mike Hendee. “This is a person who can continue the tradition of strong leadership in Pinckney.” Danosly started his career as a middle-school English teacher in 1973, but left in 1981 for a 12- year stint in the business sector. “I was pink-slipped and would have been called back to work, but I really wanted to get into administration,” he said. “The economy was rough and there were no administration jobs, so I took a chance.” Danosky served as education program manager for the Dan Danosky Technical Assistance Center, a nonprofit group offering tech- S EE PINCKNEY, A 2 May flowers ' JAMIE CHARBENtAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Fowlerville resident Wes and Sue Westberg enjoy a recent warm spring day recently by placing fresh cut flowers from a forsythia bush in a glass vase.The vase originally arrived carrying 31 roses for the couple's 31 st wedding anniversary. New dinner train chugs into Howell Diners will get a 2 1/2- hour ride to Byron on the 10 scheduled runs BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter Until now, local residents seeking a dinner-train experience had to go to Walled Lake for the Star Clipper Dinner 'Train or to Blissfield near the Ohio border for the Murder Mystery Dinner Train. Or, if one doesn’t mind a four-hour drive, the scenic Grand Traverse Dinner Train in Traverse City. Beginning Saturday, Livingston County will have its very own dinner train. Fbrmer Pinckney resident Jim Holton, who has had a successful dinner train for three years in Mount Pleasant, is launching “The Mountain "Town Ltd. Dinner 'frain” from Howell to Byron and back. It’s a 2 1/2-hour ride with 10 nms slated for 2006. They are scheduled for May 20, June 10 and 17, July 1 and 8, Aug. 19, Sept. 9 and 16, and Nov. 4 and 11. The first run will coincide with Howell History Days on Saturday and Sunday, although Holton said that happened by serendipity. After graduating from Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Holton, who is 35, decided the town (pop. 25,546) needed a restaurant and brewpub. He obtained the needed financing and the enterprise has been going strong for 10 years. Three years ago, he got the idea of expanding the operation to include a dinner train. The Mountain Town Ltd. Dinner Train ■ What: A rolling restaurant pulled by a diesel-powered train engine. ■ Where: From Howell to Byron and back. ■ The menu: A gourmet dinner including appetizer, salad, main course, dessert and a nonalcoholic beverage. A cash bar will be available. ■ Cost: $74.15 includes the train ride, meal (excluding alcoholic beverages), tax, soft drinks and gratuity. ■ Tickets: Advance ticket purchase is required; patrons are to choose their entrees (steak, chicken or seafood, plus a vegetarian menu) when they make reservations.Tickets can be purchased by calling 866- 381-5022 or online at mountaintown.com/dinnertrain- howell. The 1989 Pinckney High School graduate got the idea for a similar dinner train in Livingston County because of his origins here (his parents, Jim and Camille, now live in Brighton). “We knew there was a depot in (Howell); that was the key,” he said. The setup will be different in Howell, because the depot is owned by the Howell Historical Society. Holton will use the train SE E TRAIN, A 2 V e t e r a n t e a c h e r b id s s o lo n g t o p r e s c h o o le r s Barb Denton is retiring after 11 years at 1st Presbyterian Preschool in Brighton BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Often, it’s the teachers at higher grade levels who get the credit for steering students in the right direction, but Barb Denton believes a child’s first school experiences set the tone for his or her education. And that has been Denton’s mission for the past 11 years - as a teacher of 3- and 4-yearolds at Brighton’s First Presbyterian Preschool. “My wish is for children to have a positive, warm and loving start,” she said. “I want them to feel nurtured and loved, and to feel that school is a fun place to be who they are.” Denton, 57, spent those 11 years at the preschool reading, guiding art projects, supervising circle time, and organizing large motor-skill activities for her students. She said she wanted to create a fun environment for children to learn socialization skills like sharing, playing together and taking turns. She helped her students become familiar with the alphabet and math concepts, and she has kept them physically active, something she says is lacking. But now, she said, it is time to retire. “It’s a difficult decision, and I have mixed feelings,” Denton said. “I will miss the children. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Barb Denton, a preschool teacher at First Presbyterian Church of Brighton, adds paint to 4-year-old Josie Nicita's hand during the creation of a student art project. Denton is retiring at the end of the school year after 11 years with the church's preschool program. but want to have more time with my family and friends.” The preschool, at 300 E. Grand River Ave., is hosting an open house Sunday from 2-4 p.m. to honor Denton. She will retire from the school when the current year ends later this month. Lisa Guise, the director of the preschool, said Denton will be missed. “She has such a great ability to adapt to many situations,” SE E DENTON, A 2 B 2 S S : ' ............. Ballot suhpa fpoers August Tax initiatives, primary races will be decided by voters Aug. 8 From News Staff reports Livingston County voters will decide several tax initiatives at the ballot box this fall, in addition to choosing new leaders on state, national and local levels. Dozens of candidates - incumbents, challengers and newcomers - met 'Tuesday’s filing deadhne for the August primary and November general elections, although a number of local seats remain unchallenged. There are contests in both primary and general elections for the right to represent Livingston County in Washington. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, faces challengers in the Republican primary and the general election for his 8th District seat. Sen. Debbie Stabenow will face a general election opponent, who will be nominated in the Republican primary. Voters in the Brighton area and in Green Oak and Hartland townships must decide on renewals or millage increases to pay for fire protection. Green Oak voters also will decide on a police department millage. In other local issues, Cohoctah and Howell township voters will consider road work millages and Howell-area voters a new parks and recreation tax. Hamburg 'Township voters also will decide on whether to issue $3.5 million in bonds to build a new fire station. All voters must decide whether to pay another $1 a month in telephone surcharges for the county’s 911 call centers. Livingston County The 911-central dispatch surcharge question - an increase from $3 to $4 a month for five years - is on the Aug. 8 ballot. The surcharge is added to landbased telephone line bills to generate operational money for the center. The surcharge raises about $2.8 million a year for the center’s $3.1 million budget. County 911-Emergency Management Director Dick Winsett called the $1 increase “critical” to keep up with changing public tastes. As more people move to cell phones, the number of land lines is dropping, causing a decrease in call center funding. County 911 systems in Michigan receive money from cell lines, but it’s only 29 cents a month for each phone, which this past year provided $240,000, plus another half-cent, or $15,000 last year, for training. Current projections are that the county is losing 1,500 to 2,000 land-line customers a year.“For every 1,000 land lines we lose, we lose $36,000 in revenue at the $3 rate,” Winsett said. To make matters worse, the county’s 911 equipment is starting to get old and needs replacement or maintenance work, SE E PRIMARY, A 2 I A2 THE LIVINGSTON COM MUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, M A Y 19, 2 0 0 6 PRIMARY FROM A1 L iv in g s to n County voters to d ecid e several key races, in itia tiv e s in A u g u s t p rim a ry something a renewal of the $3 surcharge would not allow, he said. If passed, the surcharge would go into effect Jan. 1 and would run through 2011. If defeated, the county Board of Commissioners would have the option, without a public vote, of assessing up to 80 cents a month on land lines. However, that would provide only $800,000-$900,000 a year. Under the 911 Act, the county would have to wait a year and a day before it could put the issue back on the ballot, Wmsett said. U.S. Senate In the U.S. Senate race, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard of Royal Oak and Keith Butler of Lathrup Village will square off in the Republican primary. The winner faces Democrat Stabenow on Nov. 7. U.S.8th District Incumbent Rogers faces a Republican primary challenge from Patrick Flynn, a Hamburg Township resident, father of seven home-schooled children and an administrative assistant at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Green Oak Township. The winner of that primary will face Democrat and former CIA agent Jim MarcinkowsM in November. State Senate In the 22nd District, which includes all of Livingston and Shiawassee counties and portions of Ingham County, state Sen. Valde Garcia faces a Republican primary challenger. Barton Hellmuth. Hellmuth, a 33-year county resident, former teacher and Howell school board member, is critical of Garcia’s stance on public education and the fact that Garcia has lived in Livingston County for only five years. Hellmuth also promised to accept no contributions during his campaign. The winner of the Republican primary faces Democrat Donna Anderson in November. State House In the 47th District, Rep. Joe Hune, R-Hamburg Township, will face Democrat Mary Andersson, also of Hamburg Township, in November. In the 66th District, Rep. Chris Ward, R-Brighton, will face Democrat Mike McGonegal of Green Oak Township. Board of Commissioners Three of the nine seats on the county board will see contested races this fall. In the Republican primary, Susan Charron is challenging incumbent Donald Parker for the District 5 seat. In November, Democrat Pamela Green is challenging incumbent Republican Maggie Jones for the District 1 seat. And in District 9, Democrat Matthew Evans is running against incumbent Republican Jack LaBelle. Brighton District Library The library board has three open seats for four-year terms and one seat for a two-year term. Anne King-Hudson and Lee C. Gough have filed for the seats, which are nonpartisan and will be on the November ballot. Marion Township The tovniship will add two trustees to its board this year, moving from five members to seven. Fbur Republican candidates - Les Andersen, Gary Dunn, James M. Hedgcock and It-avis Hodge - will face off Aug. 8 with the top vote-getter earning the party’s nomination. That name will appear on the November general ballot to face Darrell S. Lachapell, a candidate with no party affiliation. The seats filled in November will be for two-year terms; the winners will take office Nov. 20. Riture trustee terms will all be for four years. Putnam Township Republicans Jerry Balk, Pat Carney and Ron Rau will square off Aug. 8 for the nomination for Putnam Township supervisor. The winner will face Democrat Shane N. Roscoe for the seat vacated by the death of Bob Hollister. Balk, 64, a retired automotive manufacturing engineer who serves as the township’s Planning Commission chairman, ran unsuccessfully as a Democratic candidate for Putnam Township trustee in 2004. He was fifth out of those seeking the four seats. Carney, 63, has b^een Putnam Township’s zoning administrator for three years. He’s also served on the planning commission and zoning board of appeals. Rau, 45, ran unsuccessfully against Richard Bennett for the supervisor job in 2000 and against Hollister in 2004. He owns Make It Happen Contractors. lyrone Township Voters will elect a new township supervisor and maybe a new township trustee, depending on township board action. The lone candidate filing for the supervisor’s post is 'frustee Andrew Schmidt. 'There is no incumbent, because former Supervisor Michael Lewis resigned April 7. Mth that seat empty, the township board could choose to appoint Schmidt as supervisor. He still must run to fill the unexpired term but his trustee seat would then be open. If that occurs, a trustee’s spot will appear on the Aug. 8 baUot. Resident Horace W. Morton filed to nm for that possible open trustee seat Both seats would be partial terms ending in November 2008. Conway Township There is a partial term open for the post of township supervisor. The lone candidate is Democrat Donna M. Gossett, who was appointed to fill the supervisor’s post and must run in the Aug. 8 to retain her seat. Brighton Area Fire The Brighton Area Fire Department, serving the city of Britton and Brighton and eastern Genoa townships, is asking voters on Aug. 8 to approve a 1.25 mill, fiveyear levy for operations. The tax would replace a levy of just over nine-tentos of a mill that expires this year. 'That operational levy for is down from the original one mill because of Headlee rollbacks. The Headlee Amendment to the Michigan constitution limits tax increases to 5 percent or the inflation rate, whichever is lower. When property assessments rise faster, the millage is rolled back. The tax would be $125 a year for the owner of home with a $200,000 market value and $100,000 state equalized value. The paid, on-call, mostly parttime department is operating on a $2.2 million budget. If the 1.25 mills passes, it would generate about $2.5 million in the first year. The department has about 60 firefighters plus seven full-time employees, a chief, deputy chief, two lieutenants, two fire inspectors and a secretary. Cohoctah Township Voters will be asked to approve a four-year millage renewal of 1.4404 mills for dust control and road maintenance. Voters originally approved 1.5 mills, which has been reduced under the Headlee Tax Limitation Amendment. The renewal would cover the years 2007-10. Green Oak Township Township voters will be asked Aug. 8 to approve renewals of 1.55 mills for police department operations and 1.45 mills for the fire department. The levies would replace millages that expire at the end of the year. The expiring levies have been reduced the past three years due to successive Headlee rollbacks. The police millage approved in 2003 originally totted 1.6 mills, but was trimmed by 0.05 mill due to the mandated rollbacks. The 1.5 mill fire millage passed in 2002 has decreased by the same amount. Hamburg Township Voters will decide on a 10-year, $3.5 million bond issue to build a new fire station. The bond proceeds would be used to buy four to five acres on Hamburg Township’s east side, then build and outfit a minimum 10,000-squarefoot station with five drivethrough truck bays. If approved, the new station would cost the owner of a $250,000 home assessed at $125,000 about $40 in 2006. The new station would replace Station No. 12 on Stone Street in the old village, which was built in 1948. The station has no room for expansion and today’s equipment does not fit, said Fire Capt. Dan O’Sullivan. Hartland Township Voters will be asked to approve a renewal of 1.8905 mills for five years, fi’om 2007-11, for fire department operations and equipment. The money will be used to pay the township’s portion of the Hartland-Deerfield Fire Authority expenses. Howell Area Parks and Recreation The authority is asking voters on Aug. 8 to approve a 1 mill dedicated tax for 20 years to pay for a regional recreation program in Howell and the townships of Marion, Oceola and Genoa. If approved, the tax would take effect Jan. 1, and would cost $100 a year for the owner of a $200,000 home with a $100,000 state equalized tax value. The levy must be approved by a majority of voters in each community. K funded, the authority will take over operations of Howell’s recreation department and fund the acquisition of property in the four-community area. Howell Township 'The township is asking voters for a four-year, 0.9532 mill renewal for road improvement and maintenance. The amount is rolled back fi-om the original 1 mill due to the Headlee Amendment. If approved, the millage would take effect in 2007, and raise $335,000. PINCKNEY FROMA1 DENTON FROMA1 Former Allen Park administrator takes over Retiring teacher to spend tim e w ith fam ily nical assistance and training to other nonprofit organizations. He then worked as executive director of the Institute for Nonprofit Organization Management, the controller and chief financial officer of Thompson Enterprises, and as a consultant with the Foundation Group. “That’s where I learned finance,” he said. “I have perspective on how the other half lives. You can’t come out of the classroom and know business. You learn business by working in business.” Danoslg^ came back to education as the volunteer chairman of a citizens finance committee in the Allen Park Public Schools. Then he became executive director for administrative services and an associate superintendent in Allen Park before moving to Harper Woods in 1999, where five of the seven board members who hired him were unseated in a recall election. “The new board and I promised one another that we wouldn’t repeat past mistakes,” he said. “We learned together and built cohesiveness. We accomplished a lot of things.” One of them was passing a $34 million bond issue in 2004 after two previous failed attempts. The money is making 60-yearold schools more handicapped accessible and building a new secondary school. Pinckney board members said they liked how Danoslg^ dealt with adversity and they liked his well-rounded job experience. “I just got this very strong sense, a gut instinct, that Dan Dan Danosky ■ Age: 67. ■ Home: Allen Park, but plans to move to the Pinckney area. ■ Family: Wife Anne and daughters, Kara, 22, a University of Dayton graduate, and Laura, 21, a University of Michigan student. ■ Occupation: Newly hired Pinckney Community Schools superintendent. Current superintendent at Harper Woods Public Schools. ■ Education: Bachelor's degree in education, with a major in English and a minor in social studies, from U-M and a master's degree in education from Eastern Michigan University. ■ Previous jobs: Assistant superintendent of Allen Park Public Schools; middle school English teacher in Holly Area Schools; consultant, program manager, executive director, controller and chief financial officer in the business sector. ■ Pet: An 80-pound, mixedbreed dog named Charlie. ■ Hobbies: Golf, handyman projects, spending time at the family cottage in Lewiston in northeastern lower Michigan. will do very well here in all aspects of the job,” said Trustee Laura Heatwole. Cheryl Kreger, associate superintendent of Dearborn Public Schools, and Nancy Staub, Pinckney’s assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, joined Danosky as finalists. Staub removed herself from the running May 10 after receiving only four favorable board votes to advance as a finalist May 3. Tl'ustees Tabitha Dolan, Peg Eibler and Carol Houston voted against her, saying they were concerned she did not have enough leadership experience. “No matter how much I personally desire to lead Pinclmey Community Schools with integrity, honesty and caring, there are internal obstacles that I cannot overcome,” Staub said in a letter to the board. Some of the friction stems from a difficult negotiations over a teacher contract that was eventually settled last winter, Staub said. Others disagreed with her ideas and plans for the district, she said. “I realize that if this district is going to heal and grow, somebody else must lead it,” Staub said. Craig Hagen, a Pathfinder school science teacher and president of the Pinckney Education Association, applauded Danosky’s selection. “We welcome Dan,” he said. “We look forward to working with him and the board to build a fantastic future for Pinckney schools.” Staub said she will stay in Pinckney but keep her eyes open to other superintendent job openings. “I support and welcome our new superintendent,” she said. “I like the team of people here and I have a lot to contribute, but I found that I am certainly quaUfied.” TRAIN FROMA1 D in n e r tra in can hold 90 p a sse n g e rs platform for his enterprise, but the society will open the depot so passengers can shop while they are waiting to board.

The tracks in Howell are owned by the same railroad, the Tliscola and Saginaw Bay, a plus factor for Holton. “They’ve been real generous with us,” he said, adding that “everybody’s been wonderful in Howell, the city, the DDA, they’re exited.” “We’re very pleased to have (the dinner train) downtown,” said Howell Downtown Development Authority Director Amy Connolly. “We feel it was important to launch it downtown,” she said. “We think it will have a very large economic impact, particu- Howell History Days May 20-21 This annual event in downtown Howell will feature Train rides from the Howell Depot to Whitmore Lake and Byron.

He will be taking along five staffers for the first trip: two culinary staff, two waiters and the train manager. The dinner train has a capacity of 90 passengers, but for its initial run Holton is limiting it to 40 seats. They quickly sold out. Holton typically puts in an 80- hour work week but doesn’t mind it. “I enjoy what I do,” he said. He added that might have to change soon. He and his wife are expecting their first child “about the same time” as the first Howell dinner train, which could pose a problem. “We’ll either have our baby in Mount Pleasant or Howell,” he jokes. Guise said. “She has so much love and enthusiasm for young kids.” Denton said she plans to spend more time with her 91-year-oId mother and three grown children, two of whom live in Howell. She also will continue to work at her other job, at Heirloom Oriental Rugs in downtown Brighton, where she consults with people on decorative accessories, oil paintings and rugs. She’s been spending her mornings teaching preschool, and her afternoons as a consultant. Although she wiU miss the preschool, Denton said, whenever she’s out in the community, she runs into current and past students and their families. Brighton Township resident Lisa Smego’s daughter is at the preschool and her son used to attend. “Miss Barb did such a great job with him and laid such a wonderful foundation for him academically, socially and emotionally, that we were thrilled to get our daughter in her class,” Smego said. “When my son went to kindergarten he knew how to cooperate, sit and listen, and had Barb Denton ■ Age: 57. ■ Home: Genoa Township. ■ Born and raised: In Detroit. ■ Family:Three children: Chad, 29 (married to Valerie); Adam, 26; and Taylor, 24. ■ Pet: Buddy the cat. ■ Education: Elementary education degree from Central Michigan University. ■ Hobbies: Reading, crafts, interior decorating. ■ Last good book read: "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden. ■ Goal:"To take life as it comes. I've always had goals that I had to achieve and now I don't have to." wonderful manners thanks to what Miss Barb instilled in him.” For Wendy Swanson, a parent in Brighton, it’s Denton’s classroom structure and organization that worked for her children. “She sends parents a calendar and teaches the kids that same structure,” Swanson said. “She’s very firm and so loving and caring and passionate about what she does. She offers kids a nice mix of creativity and learning.” Denton’s love of teaching began when she was a child growing up in Detroit. Her family moved to Farmington when she was 14 and she graduated fi-om Farmington High School. She then earned a degree in elementary education at Central Michigan University. Her teaching career began as a first-grade teacher in Garden City. Denton then married and stayed home to raise her three children. The family moved to Livingston County in 1987. All three of her children graduated fi*om Brighton High School. When her husband. Rod, died of cancer at the age of 45, Denton said, she and her children made the decision to honor him by the lives that they five. Denton went back to work and began her job at the First Presbyterian Preschool. “As soon as I started at the preschool, I knew this was where I belonged,” Denton said.

The board made the decision at its May 8 meeting. Last Thursday, students at Hartland High School held a sit-in to show their disapproval. Freshman Jessica Kopka organized the protest. “We started with seven people and it grew to about 200,” Kopka said. “My stepfather-tobe, Chuck Davis, is the head of maintenance at the high school and has worked in this district for 30 years. The kids love him and love many of the maintenance people. They’ve been told that they have until July 27 and then they’re out of a job. “We just moved into a house here in January, and if my dad doesn’t have a job, we’ll have to move.” Hartland Superintendent Janet Sifferman said that Charles Hughes, the principal at Hartland High School, told her he answered questions for the students staging the sit-in, and afterward they returned to their classes. “The school board had been talking about laying off the custodians for quite a while, and making the decision to contract out for private custodial services will save about $5 million over five years,” Sifferman said. “It’s hard on the community and the schools. We have to cut $1.3 million for the 2006- 2007 school year, and there’s nothing left. We had 15 teaching positions on the cut list, but have been able to remove some of them. The board decided it was a priority to save teaching positions and pro- Petition language resubmitted for recall Former Brighton Township trustee has 180 days to get 1,823 signatures BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter Former Brighton Township Trustee Ken Wilkinson has resubmitted petition language for the recall of Township Supervisor H.E. “Bud” Prine and Treasurer Geri Harmon after his first attempt was rejected by the Livingston County Election Commission. During a May 12 clarity hearing on the petition language, the commission ruled that the wording did not comply with state law. Wilkinson said he is undeterred by the temporary setback. “It’s full steam ahead,” he said. Prine called the recall bid “sour grapes.” “They say the charges are trumped up, but they can’t prove me wrong,” Wilkinson said in response. “I think it’s time they’re out of there.” County Election Supervisor Joan Runyan said the initial petition language was rejected because of Wilkinson’s frequent use of words in upper case and bold print. Runyan cited state election law that states, in part, “the reason for demanding the recall of the officer ... shall not be emphasized by italics, underscoring, or in any other manner.” Wilkinson removed the all caps and bold print in his revised petitions and resubmitted them Tuesday. Runyan scheduled the next clarity hearing for Friday, May 26. The purpose of such hearings is to determine whether the language is clear and understandable, and not to determine whether the charges have merit. Wilkinson said he is taking the action not because he lost the election but because of irregularities and illegalities he said have occurred while Prine and Harmon have been in office. “If it’s not stopped, they would go on not enforcing the procedures,” Wilkinson said. “The other thing is, board members haven’t made any attempt to chastise (Harmon or Prine) for what Geri did, and what Bud failed to do.” In his petitions, Wilkinson accuses Harmon of failing to disburse partial personal property tax payments to other local governments as required by law, creating a hostile workplace, failing to have former deputy treasurer Donna Shollack sworn in as deputy treasurer as required by statute, and wrongfully requesting a $2,000 stipend for collecting school taxes when that is part of her statutory duties. Harmon has not responded to calls asking for comment on those accusations. Wilkinson’s petition against Prine claims he took the month of March off as vacation time when state statute requires the supervisor to be present for Township Board of Review meetings and to prepare the budget. The charter township’s fiscal year runs April 1-March 31. Wilkinson also claims Prine did not inform board members of a state Treasury Department letter asking him and Harmon to appear in Lansing to explain why personal property taxes were not being distributed. Wilkinson said Prine also promoted an unnecessary tree ordinance that cost township taxpayers more than $25,000 to hold a referendum in which voters said no to the ordinance. Wilkinson is trying to get the petitions approved quickly so he can start collecting signatures. He wants to have the signed petitions submitted by Aug. 4, in time to have the recall elections on the November ballot. He has 180 days to collect 1,823 validated signatures. Wilkinson, who lost to Prine in the 2004 supervisor’s race, said he is not interested in a full, four-year position as supervisor. However, he said, he would probably run for the last two years of Prine’s term, should Prine be recalled. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2009. A u t h o r u r g e s c o m p a n ie s t o le a r n T o y o t a W a y Japanese automaker invests in workers, Economic Club luncheon told BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter The key to success for the Toyota Motor Co. is that it makes long-term investments in developing its people. That’s according to Jeffrey Liker, professor of industrial and operations engineering at the University of Michigan. Liker was the speaker at Cleary University’s Livingston Economic Club luncheon on May 15 and his focus was his best-selling book, “The Toyota Way: 14 Management Principles from the World’s Greatest Manufacturer.” The book was published in 2004 and addresses the philosophy and principles that drive Toyota’s quality. Liker has studied Toyota since 1982 and said the company stands out in every way - better technology, lean manufacturing and hard work. “Invest and develop your people and you win,” Liker said. “The first things many American companies cut are human resources, training and development, and (they) encourage employees to take early retirement. It’s not that way at Toyota.” SaMichi Toyoda started Toyota on a rice farm, where he decided to make a better wood loom by adding steam engine power. He developed the ability to stop the system when a thread would break without having to use people to constantly keep an eye on the thread. “Technology is to serve the people, not for people to be subservient to technology,” Liker said regarding Toyoda’s philosophy, which forced workers to take immediate action whenever there was a problem. Toyoda’s son, Kiichiro Toyoda, started the Toyota Automotive Co. and introduced the concept of “just in time,” which meant that from the time the customer gives the order until the cash is collected, the company would work to shrink the production time and eliminate waste to become more competitive. Liker said Toyota uses what he refers to as the four Ps: problem solving (continuous improvement); people and partners (respect, challenge and grow); process (eliminating waste); and philosophy (long-term thinking). He said Toyota has always encouraged employees to solve quality problems rather than hide them, by every employee taking a do-it-yourself attitude. “Toyota has one of the most productive systems in the world because of a strong support system,” Liker said. “Every manager is expected to deeply understand the process they are managing. Most of the improvements at Toyota are happening at the operation level.” T oyota approaches problems as opportunities to improve. Like said, and what separates Toyota from most companies in America is its belief in a long investment in its employees.

I don’t like the idea of anyone losing a job.” The company is Grand Rapids Building Services, which has offered to possibly hire some of the laid-off custodians, but not with the benefit packages they received from the school district. Sifferman said much of the $5 million the district will save over the next five years because of privatization will be in the area of benefits and retirement costs it no longer must pay. “We’re at a crisis point right now and have to make hard decisions in order to save programs and teachers,” Sifferman said.

Main Street, Brighton Telephone: (810) 844-2000 A4 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 19, 2006 IN BRIEF Brighton Couples get OK on restaurant plan The Brighton City Council has approved an amended site plan for a proposed restaurant at the new, 14,000-square-foot Alexander Place building at Main and Hyne streets. The unanimous approval came at the May 4 council meeting. The 3,500-square-foot restaurant, called “Above Main,” is proposed for the upper story. If given city and state approval, the restaurant would be jointly owned by two husbandwife teams: Don and Linda Botka, and Bill Beitz and Gail Sherman. Patrons would have the choice of eating in the main dining area, or on one of four balconies, and two bar areas are envisioned, including a traditional bar and a lounge with soft, casual seating. The owners hope to open by mid-September, pending approval by the city Zoning Board of Appeals on a parking variance and liquor license approval from the state Liquor Control Commission. Legislator speaks on school funding After more than 90 minutes of teachers and parents addressing the Brighton school board Tuesday on three main topics - the teacher’s contract, a new superintendent, and funding problems in Lansing - State Sen. Valde Garcia, D-Howell, responded to numerous complaints about the Brighton school district being underfunded. Garcia told the board: “The No. 1 priority for the state is education. Rep. Chris Ward (RBrighton) and I have led a fight to reduce the inequity in per pupil funding. We are doing our best to narrow that gap.” Garcia said Michigan spends $13 billion on K-12 education, 31 percent of its budget, more than it spends on anything else. Brighton Township Board rejects request from senior center The Brighton Township board voted 6-1 Monday against a contribution • of $4,968 to the Brighton Senior Center, a request that had come to the board at a previous meeting from Nancy Hall, director of the center. Treasurer Geri Harmon was the lone vote in support of the contribution saying the center needs financial help. Trustee Cathy Doughty said she has nothing against the center, but if the board supports Brighton’s, it should support the Hartland Senior Center, which also serves residents in Brighton Township. Hall has asked for contributions from the townships the Brighton Senior Center serves, and so far only the city of Brighton has agreed to contribute. Genoa Township Cleary raises money for scholarship fund Cleary University raised more than $115,000, including $11,000 in pledges for an endowed scholarship fund, during its 14th annual auction April 29, said Cleary President Thomas P Sullivan. Net proceeds will be used to provide scholarships for undergraduate students with financial needs and to make technology upgrades and infi'astructure improvements at the university’s Washtenaw and Livingston campuses. About 280 guests attended the Napa Valley-themed fundraiser at the Ypsilanti Marriott at Eagle Crest in Ypsilanti to bid on 155 donated items, including resort vacations, sporting events tickets, fine jewelry and an AKC-registered yellow Labrador retriever puppy. Cleary University specializes in graduate and undergraduate business education. The university has campuses in Ann Arbor, Howell and other extension sites throughout Southeast Michigan. Howell Council considers 1-mill cut in taxes The Howell City Council might vote Monday on reducing the city’s millage by 1 mill, predicated on passage of the Howell Area Recreation Authority millage issue in three months. On May 8, Council Member Donald Miller said the city owed it to the taxpayers to reduce the tax rate if the issue is approved. Others were not so sure. Saying the city has been hit hard by state revenue sharing and other cuts. Council Member Paul Rogers said figures would have to be forthcoming showing the financial impact after five years, “and what it would do to our five-year plan and our fund balance,” before considering such a step. Council Member Dawn Cooper, saying the city needs to be pragmatic, agreed with Miller. “If we don’t give it back, that (millage) will not go through,” Cooper said. Miller withdrew his motion until the council receives more information. The issue will return to council Monday. On Aug. 8 voters in the city and Marion, Oceola and Genoa townships will be asked to approve a 1 mill tax for 20 years for an expanded recreational program that. If approved, would take effect Jan. 1. Pinckney Doctors to donate halfoffee to bands Pinckney Community Schools’ Band Boosters and Livingston EyeCare Associates in Hamburg Township are teaming up to raise money for the district’s bands. Dr. Chad Gallatin and Dr. Deborah Sheere have agreed to donate half of their examination fee fi’om every new patient referred to them for a yearly eye examination by a band member to the school bands. This money will go into the band’s general fund, which pays for music, transportation to festivals, competitions and parades. The general fund also provides scholarship funds for student musicians to attend summer camps. For more information, call 810-231-5800 or visit the Web at www.livingstoneyecare.com. School board names assistant principal Dianna Behl will become an administrator at Pinckney Community High School next year. A former Pinckney High English teacher, Behl has worked in the district’s administrative intern program this year with assistant high school principal duties. On May 4, the district’s Board of Education approved removing her from the internship program and placing her in the administrative position. Pinckney started the program, which gives teachers a year to try out administrative roles, several years ago. If an intern chooses not to remain in an administrative role, or if the district finds he or she is not ready for such a position, the teacher goes back into his or her classroom with no penalty. The program was started to address a nationwide shortage of qualified school administrative candidates, said Superintendent Mike Couchman. • Home • Business • Insured and Bonded • Trained & Courteous Staff ’ Temperature Controlled Storage • Packing Supplies and Services • Free Estimates W E S E L L B O X E S Call today for a free, no obligation estimate.

A-3 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 19, 2 0 0 6 A5 Writer pays tribute to dogs Ken Foster, brother of Pinckney's president, discovers the charms of canines BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Growing up with a dog, a chipmunk, cats and gerbils made an animal lover out of Pinckney’s Rebecca Foster. It did the same for her younger brother, Ken, but it took him a little bit longer to realize it. “We had a dog named Sam,” said Rebecca Foster, Pinckney’s village president. “Ken once said he was just like another piece of furniture.” Then, sbc years ago, Ken Foster left New York City to live and write at an artists’ colony in the Costa Rican mountains and was “adopted” by one of its wandering dogs. “He would visit me every day and curl up under my desk,” Ken Foster said. “I guess not being in the self-absorbed world of New York City and being around him made me realize dogs are so amazing. They continue to amaze me. The revelation has been fulfilling personally and professionally. Ken Foster, 41, now has three adopted dogs and has written the book, “The Dogs Who Found Me,” which has sold 22,000 copies. The book is about Brando, a 6- year-old Great Dane and pit bull mbs;; Zephyr, a 4-year-old Rottweiler mix; Sula, a 3-year-old pit bull; and at least 15 more of the many dogs he’s rescued. Foster visited his sister last week to do some readings at the Pinckney Community Public Library and the Ann Arbor Book Festivd. “Having lived with dogs, I have a deeper appreciation for them, and what rescuing them does for the dog, as well as for the person who gets it,” he said. “I know it sounds corny, but the sacrifices you make to save another living thing come back to you.” Rebecca Foster said that while she knew her brother Chris Fbster was destined to become an actor, she never gave much thought to what Ken might become. “He was just always my little brother,” she said.

Stadium BiwL*Ann Arbor Ml 48103 with an art professor father and a mother who left them “fi'ee to make messes,” the Foster kids were surrounded by books and art supplies. “I remember not even knowing how to spell but dictating words to my mother to put at the bottom of drawings I made,” Ken Foster said. “I’d staple them together to make books. I’ve always had the urge to make books.” Foster lived in New York City during Sept. 11 and in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina, and some of the tales in “The Dogs Who Found Me” tell how dogs helped him cope. His book signings are often done in conjunction with animal rescue groups so people can take home a book and a best friend at the same time. “Having had several dogs now, I feel like my day is paced to a dog’s schedule,” he said. “I get up and go for a walk, in fact three walks. I go home at lunch to let the dogs out into the yard, so I actually have lunch, and I have to be home at dinner to feed them and then we walk again. I can’t imagine not having that.” Foster credits Zephyr with JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELUJHE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Rebecca Foster, left, her dog Rocky, and her brother, Ken Foster, celebrate Ken's recently-published book, "The Dogs Who Found Me" about dogs rescued from New York City after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. saving his life when fatigue and dizziness turned out to be more than just the result of working too hard. “I’d wake up and she would be sitting on my chest,” he said. “My heart was only beating on one side and I needed a pacemaker. Humans learn to ignore everything around us, where as dogs pay attention to every little det^. When I came home from the hospital, she put her ear right up to my chest.” Foster moved back to his relatively unscathed home in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward in October. In August, he will begin teaching writing classes at Hilane University. He’s working on two books, a collection of short stories about living in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and a history of pit bulls.

Greens Consignment buyers save long green in redecorating RETAIL REPORT BY HOPE LASH News Special Writer Spring is a great time to redecorate inside the home, but can be hard to fit into a household budget. Greens Consignment, with locations in both Brighton and Hamburg, has made redecorating possible for any budget. The stores feature quality furniture and home accessories sold on a consignment basis. “If you have the bug to renovate or restyle certain rooms in your home, you can start by bringing in your current furniture and selling it in order to gain money for redecorating,” said Donna Melzer, co-owner of Greens Consignment. Cindy Stevens of Hamburg Township is a seller and a buyer at Melzer’s business. “Everyone buys stuff, then changes their mind and decides to redecorate, This is a great place to come, because you can stretch your dollars so much further here.” The store has a cozy and home-like atmosphere. Customers will spend a lot of time wandering through the assortment of styles and furniture that change daily. “You’ll hear a lot of, ‘My mom had this’,” said Melzer. “Most first-time shoppers are surprised by the quality of our merchandise. Our store is an eclectic mix of new and old.” Redecorating at a consignment shop like Greens is not only easier on the budget, but it can be an adventure as well. On any given day, shoppers can find dressers, headboards, dining room tables, couches, hutches, end tables and more in wicker, oak, maple and other quality woods. “This is a no-pressure buying experience,” said Melzer. “Customers can enjoy the hunt for the perfect decorating items. We have a tremendous turnover, so if something’s not here today, it might be tomorrow.” A d d r e s s : 8 0 7 7 W .

OPPAT News Staff Reporter When Washtenaw Circuit Judge Melinda Morris promised in 2003 that she would h ^ d down a lengthy prison sentence if a Brighton Township man violated probation for his role in a fatal trafBc accident the family of the victim said they took the judge at her word. Earlier this week, they called the judge a liar. Morris sentenced Bryan Cyman, now 27, to three years in prison, with credit for a year already served, for violating probation related to his earlier conviction in the death of Linda Smrxdra, 39, of Pinckney in January 2002. The University of Michigan Medical Center nurse was killed when she was struck by Cyman’s car after she had stopped to help another motorist on icy US-23. The sentence drew a harsh reaction from Smrcka’s family, including her husband Larry. He said Morris’ promise “means nothing now. She’s a liar,” he said. Kathy Juchartz, a cousin of Linda Smrcka, mocked the judge’s words regarding Cyman: “Give him another chance, give him another chance,” she said in a courthouse hallway after the sentencing. At the time of the crash, Cyman was driving on a suspended license, with 17 tickets and four crashes on his record. He was charged with driving on a suspended license, causing death, a 15-year felony. Iri 2003, Morris sentenced Cyman to 12 months in the Washtenaw County Jail, and five 5 8 a w a rd s a re g iv e n t o B r ig h t o n p o lic e From News staff reports ing the ceremony, Sgt. Tee Rayment and officers Don Bishop and Rod Bradford were given the bravery awards for actions during a 1998 bank robbery that involved a bomb threat, hostagetaking and barricaded gunman. She officers were awarded lifesaving certificates including Don Bishop, Jim Tester and Craig Flood, who performed rescue breathing to save a life in 2005; Bishop for preventing an attempted hanging; Flood and Tom Gardner for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a heart attack victim; and Keven Miller and Brent Pirochta, also for doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a h e ^ attack victim. The “officer of the year” award was given to Rob Bradford for “overall outstanding dedication to his department and the community,” Wightman said. Eight awards were given for meritorious service and five for community service; eight certificates of commendation were awarded. Fifty eight awards were given to Brighton Police officers at a ceremony last week at the Brighton city police station. The top award, for valor, went to officers Mike Zaccagni of Brighton and Patrick Moll of the Green Oak Township Police Department for their work in apprehending a probation violation suspect. While investigating a car fire in May 2004 the officers entered the Lee Road home of Steven Gyori and were greeted by gunfire from an assault rifle. Though severely wounded, the officers managed to return fire. The suspect died. “Normally, we only give awards to our own personnel, but this was so significant we also wanted to involve Green Oak’s Police Department in the honor, too,” Police Chief Tom Wightman said. Attending the ceremony were the officers’ families, Mayor Steve Monet, City Manager Dana Foster and some City Council members. In other honors awarded duryears probation, during which Cyman was prohibited from driving, drinking or using drugs. “If you are ever, ever ... foimd driving a motor vehicle, yoxu* probation ^ be revoked. And I’m not talking about one year or two years. I’m talking about a lengthy prison sentence,” Morris said at the time. In Februaiy, Cyman was arrested for drunken driving in Brighton. He was sentenced last week to one year in jail in Livingston County on that charge. Then on Monday, Morris dealt with the probation violation portion of the case. During the Monday’s sentencing, Assistant Prosecutor Blaine Longsworth asked Morris to depart fiom state guidelines of 12-24 months in prison, and sentence Cyman to the maximum, 10-15 years. Longsworth argued that Cyman committed three violations by drinking, by driving, and by drinking and driving, ^ e n Cyman was caught driving drunk, Longsworth said, a witness told Brighton police that Cyman locked his brakes tiying to stop in a parking lot, just missing a parked vehicle. The witness said Cyman slammed his truck into reverse and spim the tires, then narrowly missed two women. The witness said Cyman nearly fell out of his truck, then got angry when the witness confronted him. Longsworth said probation agents found evidence of three other violations, including use of marijuana and cocaine. “He is a real threat to the public,” Longsworth said. “He’s going to kill someone.” Defense attorney David Monroe pointed out that the drunken driving incident took place in a parking lot, not on a road, and that if Cyman had really done what the witness claimed, he would also have been charged with reckless driving. “Prison would not do him any gwd,” Monroe said. He asked instead for a sentence to a boot camp, and treatment for drug and alcohol addictions. Then Cyman spoke publicly for the first time. He read v ^ t he said was a letter that he wrote for his first sentencing, but never read aloud. “Mrs. Smrcka did not deserve to have her life taken fiom her,” Cyman read. Cyman said he would give her life back to her if he could. “I will never forget that night. I am truly sorry for this,” he said. “I only have room for improvement,” he said, and asked for “another opportunity to give back to society what was taken fiom it.” Morris chided Cyman for forcing Smrcka’s family to relive the ordeal. “Your disregard for other human beings concerns this court,” she said. Morris said she could see “a certain logic” in a maximum sentence, but because of his age, she said she wanted to offer him a chance to become a “productive person.” She sentenced Cyman to 3-15 years in prison, with credit for 337 days he spent in jail after the first sentencing. The one-year sentence for ffiunken driving will be rolled into the prison sentence. Cyman will be eligible for boot camp, with drug and alcohol treatment, and for parole, in a little more than two years. Juchartz said Smreka’s family members now plan to appear at every parole hearing for Cyman. “We’re afraid for the public when (Cyman) gets out,” Juchartz said. “He’ll just pick up where he left off.” R I D E & D R I V E O N M A Y 2 0 F O R L A R G E P R O P E R T Y O W N E R S !

I'll probably do it again." Fundraisers get ball rolling for academy for pregnant teens BY STEPHENIE KOEHN News Special Writer Brighton resident Brynn Wozniak, a 20-year-old nursing student at the University of Michigan, says she loves math because “there’s always a solution.” So when she saw something amiss at Detroit’s Catherine Ferguson Academy, a high school for pregnant teens and teen parents, where Wozniak was assigned to work as part of her nursing course, she set about finding a solution. Wozniak and fellow nursing student Alexis Adamjee, a 20- year-old junior from the Chicago suburb of Hinsdale, discovered that nursery areas for the young children of the academy’s students were woefully lacking in equipment, supplies and educational toys. The babies also needed a place to crawl. So Wozniak and Adamjee decided to raise money to buy a gymnastics mat for the school, and they recruited their sororities, Alpha Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma, to sponsor fundraising activities. The effort started with a letter-writing campaign and a pancake breaMast, Idcked off after the academy was robbed earlier this year. Wozniak said food, audio-visual equipment and kitchen equipment were taken in seven break-ins. “It seemed so unfair that they should be robbed; they work so hard for what they get,” said Wozniak, a Brighton High School graduate. “We have so many resources through our sororities, it almost seemed negligent not to do try to do something. We raised about $3,500 between us.” Then, a story about their efforts appeared in The Ann Arbor News and a Detroit newspaper. Within hours of publication, the donations began pouring in and another $10,000 was raised. “It just skyrocketed,” Wozniak said. By the first week in May, the total was hovering around $14,000, Wozniak said, and donations are still coming in. Because so much money was raised during the young women’s 14-week rotation at Catherine Ferguson, school officials are talking about the possibility of building an auditorium.

We put the fish in th e pond and let nature take its course. Once in a while, just for fun, when the water freezes, we do a little Ice fishing.' Sharon Scarlett of Iosco Township, who shows up anually for Fish Day at Fowlerville Feed and Pet Supply BY STEPHENIE KOEHN News Special Writer J udging by the cars lined up in the parking lot May 10, you’d ^ e s s something special was going on at the l^wlerville Feed and Pet Supply - and something was: It was Fish Day. Folks came fi"om all corners of Livingston County for the semi-annual chance to buy finned and scaled creatures in quantities sufficient to stock their ponds and lakes. Customers fi’om Oceola, Conway and Iosco townships, Fowlerville, Howell and more jammed the parldng lot, their cars and trucks parked hood to tailpipe as they waited for their orders to be filled. Les and Deb Rains of Fowlerville were there to pick up 200 bluegill, 100 catfish, 75 large mouth bass and 30 bullft'og tadpoles. “We raise our own frog legs,” Deb Rains said. For Penny Sabatini, of Oceola Township, it was 50 perch and 30 bluegill. Joe and Sharon Scarlett, of Iosco Township, picked up 50 catfish and perch, along with a gallon of minnows for their half-acre pond. “We’ve been doing this for five years,” Sharon Scarlett said. “We put the fish in the pond and let nature take its course. Once in a while, just for fun, when the water freezes, we do a little ice fishing.” Mostly, though, the fish and other creatures are undisturbed. “Our bullfi’ogs are so loud, you have to wear ear plugs,” she said, laughing. “It kind of lulls me to sleep, actually.” Verne and Carol Haviland of Conway Township came to pick up perch and minnows to balance the finny population of their 90-by-270-foot pond. “We already have bass and hybrid bluegills,” Carol Haviland said. Steve Ouwinga, owner of Stoney Creek Fisheries & Equipment in Grant, brought the fish to Fbwlerville in his large, freshwater transport truck. To fill the customers’ orders, the truck was brimming with large mouth bass, yellow perch, channel catfish, hybrid bluegills, fathead minnows and koi. A production line consisting of Ouwinga, his wife, LeAnn, son Dave, daughter Alicia Parker, and employee Adam Bretschneider processed the orders, which included counting and bagging the fish and adding oxygen to the bags before handing them over to customers. As he bagged and oxygenated the fish, Ouwinga dispensed advice on pond maintenance and fish culture. “The number of bags we use to divide an order is dependent on the number of fish and the driving time” to the customer’s destination, Ouwinga said. “The more fish in a bag, the more oxygen they use, so if someone has a long trip, we want to put fewer fish in a bag.” The Ouwingas have been coming to Fowlerville twice a year for 10 or 12 years, said Ouwinga, adding that he SEE FISH DAY, 84 Above, Penny Sabatini of Oceola Township, center, purchased 50 yellow perch and 30 hybrid bluegill at Fish Day in Fowlerville at the Fowlerville Feed & Pet Supply.

Middle schoolers learn about Civil War through tour of information stations BY CASEY HANS News S taff Reporter The American Civil War is not just a chapter in a history book, as himdreds of Howell eighthgraders discovered this week and last. Teeth marks on bullets, replica cannonballs, war re-enactors and discussions of hundreds and thousands of soldiers who lost their lives were visible reminders of the 1861-65 war that divided the United States between north and south and Union and Confederate loyalties. Students from Three Fires and The kids remember things ... It's Just a. good way for them to learn.' Rose Berton,Three Fires Middle School parent and event volunteer Highlander Way middle schools took part in CM War Days last Friday and Monday. They visited information stations that included soldiers ft'om both sides, learned about black soldiers who earned $6 a month - half of what white soldiers earned - plus memorabilia, demonstrations of period dance, news from the front lines, and a popular doctor who discussed the serious times of medical treatment that often required amputation without anesthesia. “I hear all positive feedback from the kids,” said Rose Berton, parent of a Three Fires student who has assisted at the school event over the past few years. “The kids remember things - they really take something back from every station. It’s just a good way for them to learn.” Amanda Graves, a Byron resident, is often on the road with her dad, Steve, brother Steve Jr. and family fiiend 'Trent Bently, who were busy last week showing off a replica Confederate Williams gun, a cannon that fires 20 rounds a minute - what Steve Graves Jr. called “one of the first machine guns.” Amanda Graves said she often SEE CIVIL WAR, 84 Civil War on the Web There are numerous Internet sites offering information about the American Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Regatta fun in Pinckney Annual event features 300 students in cardboard creations BY HOPE LASH News S pecial W riter Parents, teachers and students jammed the community pool stands at Pathfinder School May 11 for the 10th annual Pinckney Pirate Regatta. Nearly 300 high school students launched 62 cardboard boats in an attempt to complete two lengths of the 25-meter pool. It was Team Reason versus Team Walton for the regatta crown, as the boats competed in heats for the fastest time in this popular community event. Each team floated, capsized, sunk or disintegrated into little pieces as two crew members paddied the course. More than h ^ of the regatta entries completed the course. Sophomore Alyssa Renton described her team’s successful strategy: “We thought it would float well it if looked like a real boat. It was fun, but I was really nervous.” Sean Ronan, Joe Doman and Steve Kempeinen of Team America came in first overall with a time of 1:04.8. “They had a very solid boat and oars,” said Tom Reason, a Pinckney Community High School science teacher. “They had the best oaring plan with all their power in the back.” The top women’s finisher was the Dream Come True Team. The four-person team of Melodie Callanan, Allison Bennett, Mandy Pittman and Elaine Blackburn posted a new women’s record of 1:17.3, Team Viking placed second overall at 1:11.0. The three-person team of Justin Boros, Jack Underwood and Nick Nelson believe their quick time depended on the paddles. “We worked on the paddles to make sure they were wide enough and thick enough to last,” said Underwood. Team Operation Destroy Walton wasn’t so lucky. While their paddles lasted the course, the boat didn’t. After a quick start, the team ran into difficulties on the return leg and the watersoaked cardboard craft slowly sank below the paddlers. “We didn’t make the boat as thick as we were supposed to and were pretty upset that we couldn’t finish,” said Branden McEuen, who sank with the Operation Destroy Walton boat, “but we had a lot of fun.” Despite an early Team Walton lead. Team Reason won the 10th annual regatta by a large margin over Team Wdton 71-31. “It’s the greatest comeback in regatta history,” boasted Reason. “She was way up after three heats.” “True, but we’re so much cuter than their team,” replied high school math teacher Amy Walton. Walton and Reason created the Pirate Regatta to liven up their students at a drab time of year. “We’re all kind of worn out at the time of year and it’s easy to forget what awesome kids our students are,” said Walton. “When they’re working on the boats, there’s lots of laughing and having fun. They’ll even call us at home, when a problem occurs.” The five-week math and science program includes boat blueprints, water displacement and volume calculations, a team portfolio plus a lot of cardboard, duct tape, glues and paint. “It’s so much fun to hear them plan,” said Reason about his students. “Attendance is almost perfect at this time of the year. They want to be here. Suddenly we’re their coach and not the teacher. It’s not a bond you get anywhere else.” Walton and Reason promote classroom pranks like turning desks over that add to the competition and team building. “They work really hard to make the boats work,” added Walton. “They’re so proud, so excited and so positive about their efforts whether they sink or float everyone is a winner.” dollar briaRWOOD MALL M O V IE S 734-994 -4 6 7 0 1-94 & SO.

This is the 14th Brighton Relay for Life, which has grown into one of the largest events in the state. More than 85 teams will be participating, including the Brighton (Comfort Keepers, which is making its Relay for Life debut. Jeanne Rymarz, coowner of the office of the same name in Genoa Township, is a 17-year cancer survivor and helped organize the team. “I made cancer the best thing that ever happened to me instead of the worst,” Rymarz said. “What you put in your head, you’re going to get. It’s all about being positive.” Rymarz was'diagnosed with cancer at 40. Her mother had recently died, her husband had left, and she had 8- and 10-yearold children. It started with a Glenda O'Doherty, left,Julie Suchodolski, center and Jeanne Rymarz all are with Brighton Comfort Keepers and are walking in the Brighton Relay For Life.

I never thought I’d still be here today.” Rymarz said she received chemotherapy for six months, lost all her hair and wore six different wigs, and many people didn’t even recognize her. She said the people she met at that time, including her chemotherapy nurse at Providence Hospital in Southfield, are people with whom she stilt keeps in touch.

Some of those caregivers with cancer survivors she knows will be walking with the team. Relay for Life raises awareness and funds to battle cancer. Jason Keech, community development director for the American Cancer Society office in Ann Arbor, said the organization hopes to raise more than $400,000 at the event. Following the opening ceremony is the lap for cancer survivors. At 9 p.m. the luminaria will be lit as part of the ceremony of hope.'This can happen to you,” Rymarz said. “It’s important to make people aware that there are survivors.” Wed. & T h u ^ - 8pm Wed- Full Frontal Comedy 8pm $5 Fri. & S a t.- 8 & 10:30pm Friday 8 pm show is nonsmohing M MflM d ay AThuraday Drink Spodils 7 3 4 - 9 9 6 - 9 0 8 0 w wvw.aacomedy.com Bring t h i s ad and gat $ 4 o f f one G s n s ra l A d m is s io n t ie k a t T h u rs d a y & F r id a y o n ly E x p irs s 5 - 1 8 - 0 0 I t ^ s G r a d u a t i o n T im e ! • Ba llo on s • P la te s • Cards • Foil D ish e s • Graduation P arty Supplies • K ey ch a in s • Se rv in g S p o on s • Plastic Silverware • Sterno & M u ch More! ® Huge selection o f Scrapbooking Supplies! — Dollar$tore 7365 D-19, Pinckney Rd. • Pinckney • (734) 878-0018 HRS: Mon.-Fri. 9:30-6:30, Sat. 9:30-5:00, Sun. 11:00-4:00 03423837 1 DOOR, 2 STORES ' Located at Cynthia’s Flower Shop The Top Five Reasons Why Families Recommend US Reason #1: Unique S e rv ice s For Unique People At Borek Jennings we know traditional funerals can be somber and emotionally unfulfiliing events.

Although that project is not connected to their own fundraising, Wozniak said, she was delighted to hear about it. “This experience has been so exciting,” she said. An avid athlete who enjoys volleyball, lacrosse, soccer and tennis, Wozniak said she was drawn to nursing because many of her relatives are nurses or doctors and because she did a nursing mentorship at U-M dur^ ing high school. Now a junior at the university, she wants to use her nursing degree in the fields of psychology or mental health, perhaps with young children. “Working at the academy showed me how important it is at an early age that the kids learn self-esteem and have ample food and a good environment,” she said. The academy’s principal, Asenath Andrews, praised the women for their efforts. “This What you can do The Catherine Ferguson Academy, a high school for teen mothers and pregnant teens, is still accepting donations to improve its nursery facilities. Financial donations, with checks payable to Catherine Ferguson Academy, can be sent to the Academy at 2750 Selden St., Detroit, Ml 48208. The school cannot pick up donations, but gifts of equipment and new and gently used toys and clothing can be dropped off weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the same address. For more information, call Principal Asenath Andrews at 313-596- 4766. has been pretty great,” Andrews said. “They saw the need in the nurseries and wanted to do something that would last after they left. Who would have thought it would generate such a response?” Andrews said she feels especially blessed because she is aware that many people are suffering from “giver fatigue,” the result of opening their wallets and hearts to survivors of the tsunami and last year’s hurricanes. “Donations are still coming in,” Andrews said. “Someone brought eight books in last Friday (May 5).” The school will still accept donations of money and equipment, clothing or toys. “If we can’t use a donation, we send it to a shelter,” Andrews said. “The only thing we can’t accept is stuffed animals.” To attend Catherine Ferguson, students must be invited. The academy has high expectations for its students and a 90 percent graduation rate. All of its graduates are accepted at a two- or four-year college or other post-secondary educational institution, Andrews said. “It’s a very positive environment,” Wozniak said. Many of the teaching staff have doctorates, and a low student-teacher ratio makes for a very individualized instructional environment. “We thought when we went to the academy that we’d be helping teen mothers learn about birtJi control and how to prevent STDs, but we realized pretty quickly that they know about those things,” Wozniak said. “Most get pregnant because they have no support or love at home and they have babies, basically, to have someone who will love them. Many had no motivation to get higher education or even to finish high school. No one paid attention to their dreams until they came to Catherine Ferguson and learned that it’s not only all right to have dreams, but that they can come true.” Andrews said Wozniak was particularly good with the babies and young children at the school. “She’s a very gentle-spirited girl (who is) joyful with the babies,” Andrews said. “And she just keeps on working. Last week, she came down and brought a carload of things she had collected from friends and relatives.” CIVIL WAR FROM 81 Development threatens to erase battlefields, students told JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Three Fires Middle School eighth-graders watch a demonstration of a replica Civil War cannon during the school's Civil War Day. dresses as a soldier during re-enactments and visits. “And that was common for the Civil War,” she said. “Having a lot of females in the ranks was common.” The Graves contingent will be at home in Byron on Memorial Day, when they will fire their cannon at the city park as the community honors its veterans, she said. John Gibney, an Ann Arbor resident and assistant director of the Monroe County Historical Museum, took students on an oral journey of the life of Clara Barton, the battlefield nurse who is known as the founder of the American Red Cross but whom Gibney called the coimtry’s first feminist. “She totally changed the way we look at women in this country,” he said. He also noted that the idea of tying yellow ribbons aroimd trees and posts with the hope of a soldier’s return came directly from Civil War days. “The uniforms had yellow trim and girlfiiends would tear off that trim and wear it in their hair until they came back,” he said. Gibney said many national Civil War sites are facing development challenges today. “Ninety percent of battlefields are threatened,” he said, noting that there are plans to put a casino on the Gettysburg site. “We’ve got to save them.” Casey Hans can be reached at chans@livingstoncommunitynews .com or810-844-2005. FISH DAY FROM 81 Buying spree has a festive feel and his wife founded the family business 37 years ago. At first, they sold some of the fish they raised to restaurants, selling the rest for pond stocking and to public fishing areas. Eventually, they decided to concentrate on pond stocking and later added pond supplies and equipment to their repertoire. They now have customers in all 50 states and Canada and their own line of pond management products, Ouwinga said. “This is a great service,” said Mary Miller, of Conway Township, who stocks her two farm ponds with blue gill, perch and catfish. “I raise the fish for my seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren,” Miller said. More than just a chance to pick up a pail or two of perch, the day was almost festive - a chance for neighbors to greet each other and catch up on the winter’s events and news, and to make a few new friends. “I just met my neighbor for the first time,” Sharon Scarlett said. “We’ve lived here for eight years. She lives about four houses down, and I never met her until now.” During the three hours or so it took to dole out the fish, customers snapped up nearly 3,000 of them, including 35 gallons of minnows, 20 koi and 30 bullfrog tadpoles, said Fowlerville Feed clerk Nicole Terrana, of Brighton. About 40 people preordered fish, but several more just showed up in hopes that there would be enough for them to buy without pre-ordering, which there were, Terrana said. The size of the orders varied from one or two koi - the big, beautiful specimens that look like giant goldfish - to hundreds of perch, bluegill and other warm water varieties. “One guy went home with 375 fish,” Terrana said. , JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS At right, Adam Bretschneider an employee of Stoney Creek Fisheries & Equipment, Inc. empties a net of fish into a bucket for transport. t m r , C L E A N Y O U R n AND YOU W O N T HAVE TO.

Teams of outdoor scavenger hunters contended with rain and wind in their pursuit of valuable information, including the locations of key vines, clover and stones; identifying names of trees; pacing out the size of the soccer field; and determining the number of screens behind home plate. Another group of students in back of the school were using compasses to locate specific flags planted around the grassy areas. Students were getting a lesson in orienteering from Karen Blake, an expert on the subject, who works at Indian Springs in Clarkston. “Orienteering involves science, math and physical activity,” Blake said. “Its basis is in watching the stars and how the sun moves across the slg?.” Inside the school, local dogtraining expert Beth Duman introduced students to her four dogs, who responded to her commands, and also talked USA CAROLIN.THE LIVINGSTON C OMMUNITY NEWS Sixth-graders watch Paul McCormack whisk a blue-tongued lizard around the room at Brighton's Scranton Middle School on May 11. McCormack brought his Classroom Critters show to the school as part of the a special-interest day about nature. about the wolf population in Michigan, specifically on Isle Royal. She told students that dogs often bite because they are afi*aid and that the best way to teach them to overcome fears is by rewarding them with dog treats. One of the most popular classes of the day was Paul McCormack’s Classroom Critters. During McCormack’s traveling presentation, he gives every child the opportunity to touch each animal. A white tree fi’og, a blue-tongued lizard, a snapping turtle and a boa constrictor were among the critters sbcthgraders had a chance to meet. One student even knew the purpose of the lizard’s blue tongue - to fool animals into thinldng he’s poisonous. McCormack told students, “You haven’t been poisoned, but you have been licked by a lizard!” Sixth-grader Eric Underwood said, “I liked getting to touch and feel the critters.” “The Classroom Critters makes school fun,” said sixthgrader Presley Franchi. “You get to learn about science without having to do schoolwork.” Lisa CaroHn can be reached at lcarolin@livingstoncommunitynews .com or 810-844-2010. F r e d e r ic k s 's c u lp tu r e s on d isp la y Father's and daughter's works shown together BY LISA CAROLIN News S ta ff Reporter For those who enjoy sculpture, the work of Marshall Fredericks and his daughter Rosalind Fredericks Rymal will be on display at the Brighton District Library beginning Sunday. “This is the first time that father and daughter will have their sculptures seen together,” said local sculptor John Sauve, who is the curator of the exhibit. “There will be five bronzes in the show including ‘Black Elk,’ ‘Anniversary Baboons,’ ‘Pelican’ and‘Ugly Duckling.’” Fredericks is well known for “The Spirit of Detroit,” his 16- foot-tall sculpture of a man holding an orb in one hand and “The Family of Man” in the other outside the City County Building in Detroit. A world-renowned sculptor, Fredericks lived in Birmin^am for many years until his death in 1998. His daughter Rosalind studied art at Eastern Michigan University and earned a degree in art education. She said her dad taught her sculpture “fi-om the ground up,” and he was a perfectionist. She said just watching his process was a wonderful influence on her. The sculptures have been loaned firom the collections of Rosalind Fredericks Rymal, Robert Parker, and John Slocum and are bronze moquettes - the artists’ first versions of what they created as larger sculptures. “Black Elk” was Fredericks’ final sculpture and is on loan from Slocum, who was his assistant for 15 years. Diana Dart, community relations coordinator at the Brighton District Library, said the library’s mission statement includes bringing cultural events and programs like the sculpture exhibit to the library for the community to see. “Charlene Huget (library director) and I are on the Committee for Art in Public Places and want to support the Brighton Biennial.

M A Y 1 9 , 2 0 0 6 M E W F 74 French musicians enjoy a short stay in Fowlerville Exchange program exposes students to American food, homes and hospitality BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News Special Writer Fowlerville recently joined the ranks of big cities as a destination for visiting French students. A 74-member wind band and orchestra from Villard-Bonnet, France, visited the United States for a 10-day tour courtesy of the Blue Lakes Fine Arts Camp in Twin Lake, north of Muskegon. The guests spent only three days in Fowlerville, but Alyssa Swails, one of the host students, said close friendships were forged quickly. “They’re not even home yet, and I’ve already started writing them,” Swails, a high school senior, said two days after the French students left for Chicago. Swails, who housed two girls, a 16- and 17-year-old, said the group was very interested in American life, particularly fast food. Her house guests asked for some food from Wendy’s shortly after their arrival. “They’re not used to our restaurants,” Swails said, explaining that they do not have “fast food.” While McDonald’s does have a presence in France, Swails used the word “upscale” to describe most of their eateries. Lauriane Galan, 17, was among the visiting group. A first-time visitor to the United States, she was surprised by the difference in French and American food. “The food (colors) are very different here, purple and pink. I was surprised, but it was good,” she said. Galan, a trumpet player for 10 years, also commented on America’s “very big buildings, houses and cars.” While she lives in a town larger than Fowlerville, Galan said, the houses are smaller and closer together. She also commented on the generosity shown by host families. “I was surprised. All the people I’ve met have been very nice,” she said. Terri Palazzolo, director of bands for the Fowlerville Community Schools, said Fowlerville is known for having successful home visits, largely due to the many families who open their doors to foreign students. Just this fall, local families housed 85 musicians from Muellheim, Germany. Most of the host families include children who are involved in the local band program, but families of foreign-language students, teachers and others have housed visitors in the 20-plus years Fowlerville has been involved in the exchange program. Calling the program a “winwin,” Palazzolo said everyone benefits - the local families housing overseas guests, the students visiting the United States, and the greater Fowlerville community. “This enables both our students and the community to see that music is a universal language,” she said. The French students offered three free local performances, two for Fowlerville students and one for the community In addition, the group performed multiple times in Grand Rapids, their first stop, and was expected to do the same in Chicago, the last leg of the tour. While everyone called the visit a success, there was a definite language issue. “Trying to understand what they needed was difficult,” admitted Chris Swails, Alyssa’s father. The family emptied their cupboards onto the counter one morning to find something the French students would eat. At dinnertime, placing a pizza order took 25 minutes while the Swails family tried to determine which toppings their guests would eat. “They couldn’t understand green pepper, so I had them (pizza employees) bring it out and show them,” said Lorainne Swails, Alyssa’s mother. Many of the host families admitted referencing French dictionaries for help. “Fewer of these students VOLUNTEERS This listing of volunteer opportunities is compiled by the Livingston County United Way.

She also said the group had a good deal of musical talent. “There is a 13-year-old (trumpeter) who has quite a future ahead of him,” she said. The eldest member of the group, age 20, was finishing the U.S. tour before beginning his teaching career in music at a French university. Palazzolo said music classes are treated differently in France, more as an after-school activity, which explains the age variance of the students. With two positive experiences under their belts, Palazzolo and Fowlerville band students are making plans to visit their foreign fiiends in their European hometowns next year. Due to the cities’ proximity a visitation of the two locales during a week’s stay can be arranged.

JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS South Lyon senior Lauren Verbiscus is a deserving winner of The Livingston Community News' student-athlete of the year award. She's been a varsity captain in track, basketball and volleyball and still managed to maintain a 4.0 grade-point average. Clearing hurdles A f t e r h e r m o m d i e d , V e r b i s c u s r e d e d i c a t e d h e r s e l f BY JASON DEEGAN News S ta ff Reporter 1 auren Verbiscus easily clears the hurdle on the South Lyon track before a recent practice. It’s almost symbolic that the 17-year-old senior excels as a hurdler. A threesport standout for the Lions, Verbiscus has been hurdling obstacles in her life path since middle school. While a seventh-grader in 2001, Verbiscus lost her mother, Jean Verbiscus, to renal cancer, a form of kidney cancer that spread throughout her body. Just four months after diagnosis, her mom was gone, tossing Verbiscus into a tailspin. The once straight-A student suddenly struggled through school while dealing with her grief. Since then, Verbiscus has done her best to turn a family tragedy into a personal triumph. She re-focused her life around school and sports. Today, Verbis- T o p sch o la r-a th le te s For the second straight year, the Livingston Community News is honoring the area's top scholarathletes by selecting a "Student-Athlete of the Year." Nine seniors from seven area high schools - Brighton, Fowlerville, Hartland, Howell, Pinckney, South Lyon and Whitmore Lake - were able to maintain perfect 4.0 gradepoint averages while also earning at least one varsity letter in a sport. Following in the footsteps of last year's winner, this year's honoree. South Lyon's Lauren Verbiscus, excelled in three sports - basketball, volleyball and track. The pool of candidates included South Lyon's C.B. Smith, Paul Rakowski and Nicole Kobayashi; Pinckney's Eric Muir, Emily Miller and Christine Donahue; and Brighton's Chantal Koechli and Paul Lipon. South Lyon's Kevin Richardson also met the criteria of a 4.0 and at least one varsity letter in track, but wasn't considered because he didn't play a sport this season. Last year, Howell's Jennifer Sidge, who earned letters in volleyball, swimming and cross country, was chosen for the award among eight other candidates. cus is set to graduate with a 4.0 gradepoint average, an achievement she dedicates to her mother. She will decide between Michigan State University and the University of Virginia for college.

I’m an overachiever. I don’t like to settle when I can do better. I’ve come a long way.” Verbiscus is the winner of the Livingston Community News’ student-athlete of the year award, chosen from among eight candidates from seven area high schools. This is the second year of the award, which honors students who maintain 4.0 grade-point averages while earning at least one varsity letter. Verbiscus has earned nine varsity letters: four in track; three in volleyball; and two in basketball. She’s been voted captain in all three sports. Her father, Tony Verbiscus, marvels at his daughter’s work ethic to maintain her grades while playing sports year-round. “She is one of the toughest kids I know,” he said. “She takes her licks in any sport and comes back and gets back up. Then she comes home and studies every chance she gets.” Lauren Verbiscus was always smart, like her mom, Tony Verbiscus said. She enrolled in a Spanish class at Schoolcraft College at age 4. Tony Verbiscus said he or his wife read to Lauren and her brother. Matt, every night until they were 5. “Her mother was her role model,” he said.

In September 2000, stomach pains sent Jean Verbiscus to the hospital. Doctors then delivered the terrible news: She had a month to live. Radiation and experimental treatments kept her alive until J a n u a ^ 2001. Lauren Verbiscus was in exam week when her mom died. “I didn’t do well (in school after that),” Verbiscus recalled. “It never got to the point I was failing. They (school officials) suggested time off, but I just wanted something to occupy my mind. I had to turn things around before they got worse.” Tony Verbiscus said he and his children survived by sticking together. He said one psychologist taught the family to sit in a circle, hold hands and look into each other’s eyes. “They told us, ‘This is bond that will not be broken,”’ Tony Verbiscus said. “The kids have carried that on. She has carried that on. She can’t be broken.” Lauren Verbiscus isn’t a star athlete, but through hard work COURTESY, LESLIE HOLLADAY Howell senior Krista Tarrant kicks the game-winner against St. Ciair Shores Lakeview in tripie overtime. The win gave the Livingston County Berserkers giris rugby club its first Michigan Youth Rugby Association state championship on May 13 in East Lansing. Howell wins state rugby title on Tarrant's kick Krista Tarrant was nervous. She had already kicked a critical game-winner for the Livingston County Girls Rugby Club at the Michigan Youth Rugby Association state championship tournament May 13 - a late penalty kick in a 3-0 win over Berkeley in the semifinals. But this was different. The pressure was squarely on her shoulders - or her foot - in the third overtime against St. Clair Shores Lakeview in the finals. 'Tarrant had just missed her first attempt, a potential gamewinner fi'om 22 meters in the sudden- death kick-off. The former soccer player in her first season of competitive rugby didn’t let her teammates down on the second chance. Tarrant, a senior from Howell High School, nailed it through the uprights, then watched her opponent miss, giving the Howell-based club its first state championship in five years of existence. Tarrant said going first made the difference for her psyche. Teammate Heather Coppes said 'Tarrant’s face “was glowing” after the make. “They moved it in a bit after I missed,” said Tarrant, who was named MVP of the tournament. “I had hurt my leg earlier in the game, my kicking leg. That scared me. Getting hurt, I wasn’t doing as weil. It was good I got to kick firet. If she would have made it, I would have been even more nervous.” The championship brought sweet gratification to Berserker coaches Jeff Coppes, Heather’s fether, and Chris Young. The two have watched the team struggle until this season. The club is 8-0-2 heading into a game next week against a club from Grosse Pointe. “Fbr us, the championship is huge,” Jeff Coppes said. “It shows how far we’ve come. The past four years we were competitive but not able to put wins out there. It is confirmation that we’ve come the JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News distance and made our mark. It will be great for next year. It helps recruit (players) and substantiate (the sport).” The Berserkers draw players from almost every Livingston County high school, and also home-schoolers. Depth and chemistry proved to be the championship ingredients. “We all knew each oOier’s strengths and weaknesses. We all had fun and supported each other,” said Heather Coppes, a junior who is home-schooled. Jeff Coppes calls rugby the “ultimate” team sport, a fact that helps students from different schools bond together. “Everybody gets to play. Eiverybody can play the ball and kick and score,” he said. Tarrant said she doesn’t have any regrets passing up her senior season of soccer to play rugby. “I’m realty happy that I switched,” she said. “It was a smart move.” 'The Berserkers lose 17 seniors, but Jeff Coppes said there’s enough talent returning to contend for a second straight championship. And there’s dways the hope that another first-timer, like 'Tarrant, will show up to make an immediate impact. “One of the great things about rugby is anybo^ can come in and pick it up,” Coppes said. “It’s not like you have to have years of experience, like you do with other sports.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@Hvingstoncommunitynews .com or 810-844-2012.

She averaged 5.5 points and 4.0 rebounds as a senior in basketball, scoring a team-high 19 points in a game against Ann Arbor Pioneer. South Lyon girls basketball coach Jim Brennan said she never complained despite the team’s ugly 1-19 record. In two years on the varsity volleyball team, Verbiscus had 199 kills and 128 blocks in 126 career games, earning the team’s “Most Valuable Player” award and receiving all-Kensington Valley Conference second- team honors as a senior. The Lions were 11-19-6 this season. Verbiscus’ track career was overshadowed early on by star hurdlers Kiersten Isgrigg and Samantha Smith, both of whom currently compete at the University of Michigan. South Lyon girls track coach Sonita Harris considers Verbiscus an excellent role model. “She’s won a lot of medals, especially with those girls (Isgrigg and Smith),” Harris said. “But she’s also scored a lot of points on her own.” Her coaches say she always goes above and beyond what they ask. Brennan recalled how Verbiscus handled a take-home assignment to diagram the team’s offense. She brought a detailed computerized report where she superimposed her teammates’ faces onto the page.

B5 IN BRIEF Lee Road project set to start Tuesday Work on roundabouts at the Lee Road interchange with US- 23 will get under way Tuesday after being delayed over rightof- way issues. The work was originally scheduled to start May 1. Roundabout construction will result in the southbound on and off ramps, and the Lee Road bridge over US-23, being closed through July 13, according to developer Bill Clark of Quadrants. When the first west side roundabout is completed, the northbound US-23 ramps will be closed for construction of the final roundabout. Road work in the area also will include reconstruction and realignment of the Lee-Whitmore Lake roads intersection. The work is being done to better manage traffic heading to Green Oak Village Place, the $100 million shopping center being built on the east side of US- 23 at Lee Road. Developers of the shopping center are paying for the $5 million road project. Target date for completion of all road work - and the opening of the shopping center’s 70 stores - is the first week of September.

Vets keep Hamburg VFW going 'People feel comfortable here,'quartermaster says BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Hamburg Township’s Veterans of Foreign War Post No. 1224 is a shining star at a time when many military service groups seem to be suffering a decline in participation. With 192 members, the post at 8891 Spicer Road in Green Oak Township is above the membership rate set for it by the national VFW It draws veterans from Brighton, Fowlerville, Whitmore Lake, South Lyon and Ann Arbor, and the reason why is simple, according to its members. “People feel comfortable here,” said William “Butch” Ogden of Fowlerville, the post’s quartermaster and commander of the Livingston County Vet- SEE VFW, A2 O p e n in g d a te u n c e rta in fo r P a rk e r school D i s t r i c t m a y l a c k c a s h t o r u n i t BY STEPHENIE KOEHN News Special Writer Even though construction is on time and under budget, the question of whether Howell’s new Parker High School will open on schedule in September 2007 remains unanswered because district operational funds may fall short. Despite recent reports that the $70.6 million school might open on time, continued concern about the district’s ability to assemble the $2.2 million officials say it will cost to open the school prompted the school board to table a proposed plan earlier this week. Board members listened to Superintendent Chuck Breiner’s dismal assessment of the situation with regard to state funding. The vote to table a resolution approving the plan to open Parker High - a second high school for the growing district - came six months after the board first learned that the opening might have to be delayed because of finances. “Can we open the school?” Breiner asked. “The answer is a qualified yes. But expect big pain.” A tour of the 306,000-square-foot building Monday afternoon had board members enthusiastically praising the school, particularly the cascade of natural light that brightens nearly all of its interior spaces. “I’m really pleased at the amount of light that comes in,” Board President Sue Drazic said during the tour. “It’s something that the original (planning) committee wanted.” But sunshine pouring in through the school’s windows in the afternoon failed to dispel the gloom that prevailed a few hours later over the district’s ability to pay for operating the school. In a four-page memo, much of which he read to the board, Breiner detailed the funding problems that he and Associate Superintendent Rick Terres believe have led to the current financial uncertainty. He said the state’s “fair and equitable support of school systems is illusory.” With a per-pupil state grant of $6,875, Howell ranks 699 in funding out of 735 Michigan school districts, he said. The district is more than $500 below the state average and $1,300 below the national average of $8,208 for K-12 funding per student.

Brighton teachers set to vote on contract They've workeci without one all school year BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Brighton teachers will get a 2.25 percent retroactive raise this year and the same increase next year, as part of a tentative contract agreement reached earlier this week. Details of the agreement were to be announced Wednesday afternoon and teachers were expected to vote on the agreement today. Members of the Brighton Education Association, the teachers’ union, have been working without a contract since August 2005. Teachers actually will be given the option of a two-year or a three-year contract. The wage increase would stay at 2.25 percent if the teachers choose the three-year agreement. Wages and health insurance had been the sticking points in negotiations. Teachers also agreed to changes in health insurance, with teachers moving to Messa Super Care 1 with a $10- $20 prescription drug co-pay in the 2006-07 school year. There could be additional changes in health care coverage in the third year of the agreement. Teachers also would have to make a retroactive payment of $520 this year for health care coverage. That would increase to $620 next year. Other aspects of the tentative agreement include a special committee that will be formed to monitor and evaluate such topics as special education team teaching, tutorial classes and diagnostic testing, and pay for additional duties increasing the same percentage as base pay, and job descriptions for non-academic activities adopted. According to Interim Superintendent John Hansen, if the teachers vote to approve the contract, the school board could ratify the agreement at its next board meeting on June 5. Meanwhile, the school board was scheduled Thursday to complete the second site visit for the second of two finalists for the superintendent position - Jim Craig, Brighton’s assistant superintendent of finance. Last week board members did an on-site visit in Grosse Pointe, where the other finalist, Susan Allan, is an assistant superintendent. She is also a finalist for the superintendent job in the Ann Arbor school district. The board hopes to have a new superintendent ready to start by July 1. The Brighton school district has been without a permanent superintendent since Dave Pruneau left for a job in the Rochester school district on January 3. ■ School board g e ts lo o k a t tig h t b u d g e t p la n , A3 A2 THE LIVINGSTON COM MUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 26, 2006 A W A R D S FROM A1 VFW post honors veteran, auxiliary member of the year dent who has operated Glenna’s Beauty Shop there for more than 30 years. Her grandfather, Tom Woods, an Army veteran of World War I, owned Woods Drug Store at the corner of Grand and Grand River avenues downtown from 1922-69. Her father, Glendon Plummer, a General Motors worker, served with the Army in the South Pacific in World War II. Her husband. Chuck, was with the Army in Germany during the Vietnam War. The VFW is known for handing out red paper poppies during its annual fundraising campaign. Hath joined its ladies aui^ary in 1994 and became active in Fowlerville VFW Post No. 6464, serving as auxiliary president for two years, leading its cancer fundraising efforts and Buddy-Poppy committee and working on a Sept. 11 remembrance committee and with the group that established a veterans monument at Fowlerville Community Park. Hath transferred to the Hamburg post in 2004 and has led its auxiliary’s Buddy-Poppy and cancer fandraising committees and a group that supports patients at Veterans Administration hospitals. She’s a fixture at the post’s Thursday Bingo, Friday fish fry and Sunday breakfasts. “I like to help,” she said. “I really wish I could do more.” That comment makes her husband chuckle. “I don’t know where she gets her energy,” said Chuck Hath, president of the Hamburg post’s men’s auxiliary. “She’s caring and giving and always doing something for somebody else. She really deserved this award.” Moore was born in Ohio and moved to Lansing at age 12. He graduated from high school in 1963 and enlisted in the Army in 1964. “That was just the thing for a young man to do back then,” he said. Moore did basic training at Fort Knox, Ky, and advanced training at Fort Dix, N.J. His first duty station was with the 83rd Field Artillery in Germany, but in 1966 he transferred to Vietnam and was attached to the 18th Field Artillery’s 3rd Battalion. Stationed out of Chu Lai, Moore traveled throughout the country as sergeant in charge of a small combat squad. In 1967, an enemy rocket exploded near him. He was severely injured and woke up in a Japanese hospital three months later. “One minute you’re fine and the next you’re waking up someplace strange with your life changed drastically,” he said. Like many veterans, Moore finds it difficult to go into details about his combat service. “It’s such a harsh thing for a person to go through,” he said. “I was severely wounded and now have to use a wheelchair most of the time.” Moore stayed in the Army as a recruiter and career counselor. He retired from the Old Guard at Fort Meyers, Va., the group that guards the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, with 20 years of service. “1 liked the military,” he said. “I liked the comradeship and traveling. You learn a lot about other countries and it really makes you appreciate what we have here.” Moore joined the VFW in 2000 and also became active with the Fowlerville post, where he served as commander for two years. He transferred to the Hamburg post in 2004 and has been its commander for two years. Like Hath, he’s tireless in serving on fundraising committees and attending post functions and meals.

The Hamburg post hosts bingo at 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays, a fish fry at 5 p.m. Fridays and breakfast at 8 a.m. the first Sunday of each month. Its members are honor guards at veterans’ funerals, they visit Veterans Administration hospitals and lead youth programs, such as Voice of Democracy and Patriot’s Pen speech and essay contests.

In addition, as the economy has slowed, fewer students are moving into the district than anticipated, meaning less revenue fi'om the state, he said. Among the measures the .board would have to consider in order to open Parker, Breiner said, are adding no additional staff and dividing the current staff proportionately between the two schools; not filUng posts when staff members resign to save as much as $300,000 through attrition; suspending busing for grades 11 and 12, and raising pay-to-play athletic fees. There would need to be sweeping savings in collective bargaining contracts, he said, though not necessarily through reductions in coverage or benefits, and noncurricular clubs would serve both schools under one adviser. In addition, state aid would have to increase by $225 per student for the coming school year and $300 in 2007-2008 (to $7,400) to cover the rising costs of mandated special education, health insurance premiums, fuel, utilities and retirement. While Breiner said his plan, relying on stringent cost-saving measures, could work, he warned board members that the fallout to the district will be significant if the Legislature doesn’t increase funding. “The concomitant pain in lost programming, staffing and services will be, necessarily, dire if the state does not increase aid or reduces costs to districts in our state,” Breiner said. “I have a real concern that (we won’t) be able to do it,” Drazic said before calling for a vote on Hall’s motion to table action on the plan to open the school.“We’ve been dealt a bad economic hand, over which we have no control,” Terres said. “The state doesn’t have a cyclical issue, it has a structural issue. Michigan is 48th in employment - and only because two states got hit by a category 5 (hurricane). If we continue to lose jobs this year and in ’07, it will be the first time this has happened in the state since the Depression. No district in the state has been untouched.” Terres said he is hoping that current discussion in the Legislature will lead to additional funding for schools. “Some things have to happen on this end,” he said, “but a lot more has to happen at the state level.” 1 ' D O N T LET S C H O O L E N D ...

Assistant Superintendent for Finance Jim Craig, who is one of two finalists for the superintendent’s job, presented a preliminary 2006-07 general fund budget of $53.5 million to the board. The preliminary budget relies on proposals to increase per-student state funding between $200 and $230, from $7,031 to $7,256, a 3.2 percent increase per student. Craig said the legislature is due to approve a school aid bill for the next fiscal year in the next few weeks. The other main source of revenue for the district is based on enrollment, which Craig said is hard to predict, though he is working with a projection that there will be a decline of 50 students. That would take fall enroll- 'Resident population in the Brighton school district has been slightly declining for the last few years, but has been mitigated by an increasing number of schools of choice students/ Assistant Superintendnet for Finance Jim Craig ment from 7,163 in 2005 to 7,113. He said there are several challenges in predicting enrollment: the number of schools of choice students (which is presently close to 5 percent of student enrollment); the impact of the expansion of St. Patrick Catholic School, which is doubling its capacity in grades 1-6; and the impact of the economy, which influences housing sales. “Resident population in the Brighton school district has been Maaiks are chosen as parade marshals Couple have long provided services to Hartland community BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Memorial Day is to Hartland what the Fourth of July is to Washington, D.C. - a very big deal. Residents in and aroimd Hartland Township line the parade route often two and three spectators deep. At this year’s Memorial Day Parade, visitors can look for Dan and Carol Maczik as grand marshals. “Memorial Day is Hartland’s day,” says Dan Maczik. “I’m in awe of how many people come to the parade.” “It’s a hometown event,” says Carol Maczik. “Kids decorate their bikes for the parade, there’s the 4-H clubs and the Little League. I don’t know who’s left because everybody’s in the parade.” The Macziks are well known through their two businesses - Kizcam, a printing business-that they’ve had in Hartland Township for 19 years, and Spirit of Livingston in Genoa Township, where they do signage, screen printing, trophies, and school wear. The Macziks have donated their services to the community for years. “We’ve always tried to give, but didn’t expect to receive anything,” says Dan Maczik, who says he was stunned when he and Carol were asked to be the parade grand marshals. “We’ll print tickets and newsletters and work with small quantities to help people out,” says Carol Maczik, who does a lot of the art and designing for the businesses. “We’re pro-schools and procommunity,” adds Dan Maczik. They have also printed the Hartland Memorial Day Parade Booklet for the last 17 years. Judy Cowan, who is on the board of the Hartland Optimist Club, gathered the names of nominees for this year’s grand marshals and presented them to the Hartland Community Coimcil for a final decision. “The Macziks were chosen because of all the years they’ve been so supportive to the Hartland community,” says Cowan. “They’ve done printing and Tshirts for so many local groups and been involved in the schools and community for so many years, it was a naturd to select them.” “They have been an asset to this community and to the schools with all their donations and services,” says Jim Sparks, a friend of the Macziks, who heads the Rangers 4-H Club. “Memorial Day is a social event in Hartland and an opportunity to see your neighbor. It’s a great time for the community to recognize the Macziks for all they do.” Although the Macziks live in Howell Township, they spend long hours at their business. “A lot of people care about the Dan and Carol Maczik will be this year's marshais of the Hartland Memorial Day parade. history of Hartland and are concerned about how things are moving forward,” says Dan Maczik. “It’s a good place to have a business.” Carol Maczik, who moved to Hartland Township when she was in seventh grade, was junior and senior class president at Hartland High School and graduated in 1976. She went to work for the library for the next 15 years. Dan Maczik graduated fi’om Howell High School and the two were introduced by Carol’s sister, who worked with Dan at the Brighton A&I? which was located at the Brighton Mall. The two will celebrate their 28th anniversary in June. They opened Kizcam (their name spelled backward) in 1987 and Spirit of Livingston in 200 0 . “Our kids went to Howell schools, and we wanted to get involved with all the schools in the county and be centrally located,” says Carol. Now their twin sons are 24, and one of them, Joel, works at Spirit of Livingston. “Livingston County is a great place to have a business,” says Dan Maczik, “and it just keeps getting better.” L is a C a r o t in c a n b e r e a c h e d a t l c a r o H 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 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 0 .

Out with the old HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS An aging downtown Brighton building has been demolished to make way for a new structure. Last Sunday, bulldozers quickly brought down the 19th century building on the northeast corner of First and Main streets, which formerly housed Lynn's Main Street Cafe and, before that, the Bittersweet Bake Shop. Old-timers will remember it as Cline's Clothing in the 1940s and earlier, according to Marieanna Bair of the Brighton Area Historical Society. The structure has been razed to make way for a new one to be built by Stan Schafer, who last year erected a building nearby, at First and Cedar streets, which houses Lynn's Cafe and second-floor offices. The new building will include a restaurant. Stone Fire Bistro, on the first floor and offices on the second. Edward Bielaska, who will own and operate the restaurant, said it will have an Italian flair, with a large menu including pastas, steak, seafood and gourmet pizza.

He said that based on the combination of the estimated $200- $230 per pupil increase in funding and a decline of 50 students, the district could see a revenue increase of $1.34 million. However, an increase in expenditures could leave the district with $2 million more expenditures than revenue, which Craig said would have to be taken fi’om the district’s fund equity, which has about $4.4 million. Craig said that the primaiy factors in changes in expenditures include increases in the cost of pension and retirement, up fi’om 16.34 percent to 17.74 percent, and the increase cost of energy for fuel for vehicles, natural gas and electricity. The board will discuss the budget at its next meeting on June 5. There will be a budget hearing, in which public comment is invited, on June 19, after which the board hopes to adopt the budget.

Green Oak Charter Township Planning Commission OA 02-06/LCN/05-058i26-06 A4 THE LIVINGSTON COM MUNITY NEWS F R ID A Y , M A Y 2 6 , 2 0 0 6 IN BRIEF Brighton City Council lowers property taxes Property taxes will go down a bit in the city of Brighton in the coming year. The City Council last week approved a 2006-07 fiscal year millage levy of 15.82 mills, a reduction of .12 mill over 2005-06. As a result, the owner of a $180,000 home, with a state equalized valuation of $90,000, will pay $1,424 in city taxes for the coming year, a reduction of about $11 from the previous year according to City Finance Director Dave Gajda. The operating levy of 14.88 mills will remain the same as for 2005-06, but the debt millage will be reduced, resulting in the overall millage decrease. Gajda said there will be no Headlee rollback, since the city is below the Headlee-mandated millage cap. “We are .4 mill below what Headlee caps the city at,” Gajda said. The Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution requires that property taxes rise no more than the lower figure between the inflation rate and 5 percent. Donations Still needed for lock-in Money, food and prize donations are still needed for the 2006 Fowlerville High Senior Lock-In, according to event cosponsor and high school guidance counselor Ann Glover. Several local businesses have agreed to supply pizza and pop for the event, set to begin on June 4 at 9 p.m. “We need prizes that we can give out throughout the night to keep the kids interested,” said Glover, who suggested company ball caps to water bottles to Tshirts. “We could also use money donations to go out and buy prizes (if not enough are donated),” she said. About 200 students are expected to spend the night at the high school after graduation. Students will enjoy sports-related activities, a disc jockey, and some carnival-like games until 5 a.m. June 5. To make a donation, or volunteer to chaperone, contact Fowlerville High School at 517- 223-6002. Green Oak Township Board OKs retail development The Green Oak Township board gave its approval May 17 for planned unit development of the Gateway Shoppes at Green Oak, a small retail development at Whitmore Lake Road south of Lee Road extending to Maltby Road. Jim Ritz owns the 10 acres on which he plans to locate six businesses including an Olive Garden restaurant. The Gateway Shoppes would be located next to the Shoppes at Green Oak, which includes the Costco Warehouse store and Kohl’s department store. Hartland Christian preschool to be established The school board at Child of Christ Lutneran School in Hartland has voted to establish a 3-year-old preschool program this fall. The program will seek to develop socialization skills - such as organized play, sharing with others, and sitting for short periods of time - in a loving, Christ-centered environment. In addition, children will learn about safety, colors, shapes, seasons, Bible stories, and how to follow directions and make decisions. Fine and gross motor skills will also be developed. Academic skills will not be stressed, but the children will be exposed to numbers and letters. The program will run two days per week and be 2.5 hours in length. Howell Library officials won't try again Howell Carnegie Library officials will not approach voters again this year, following the failure of a bond issue for a library expansion and a Headlee override tax question. According to library Director Kathleen Zaenger, the staff is working on the 2006-07 fiscal year budget that starts July 1 and will look at programs in the coming year as finances are considered. “As long as the economy remains as it is, we’re just going to tighten our belts,” she said. “We won’t be going back to voters at all in the coming year. We’re going to streamline as much as we can.” Zaenger said officials were surprised by the election outcome which defeated both bal- C O M M U N I T Y N EW S Published each Friday.

Defeated was a $13.76 million bond issue that would have allowed the library to expand its 31,000-square-foot facility by anotherl8,400 square feet at the site. An override of the Headlee amendment would have allowed the library to keep its voter-approved tax rate of 1 mill; the library levies just under seven-tenths of a mill due to the effect of Headlee. Zaneger said the library now owns property nearby the current library that it purchased as part of the proposed expansion. That property was slated to be used for library parking. Lower city tax would offset recreation levy The Howell City Council this week voted to reduce the city tax rate by 1 mill if the Howell Area Recreation Authority millage, which is on the Aug. 6 primary election ballot, is approved by the voters. On that date, voters in the city and Oceola, Genoa and Marion townships will decide the fate of the proposed, one-mill levy, which is equivalent to $100 on a $200,000 home with a state equalized valuation of $100,000. At its meeting Monday night , the council unanimously adopted a resolution pledging to reduce the city’s tax levy by a like amount if the issue passes. In a memo to the council.

Council Member Steve Manor said the ballot issue is “a very significant vote coming up, and it is very important residents vote ... to assure the future of recreational programs.” Charles said he has re viewed the city’s finances and determined reducing the millage levy by one mill will not affect its commitment to meet service demands over the next few years. He also said it’s an important step toward more regional cooperation with other local governments.

We are a tight-knit family all working hard together to keep our center afloat. No one works harder than Nancy Hall, our director, on grants and fundraisers. I shudder to think what we would have without her. It’s a growing center thanks to Nancy, and now they are taking another of our rooms again. More seniors, less room. Come on, Livingston County, someone needs to step up to the plate to get some funding and more room for this wonderful group of seniors.

Grant Czuj, 18, is charged in the death of LaFave on July 23 on Zukey Lake in Hamburg Township. At the conclusion of Czuj’s May 17 preliminary examination, 53rd District Court Judge A. John Pikkarainen bound him over to Circuit Court. “It was not one person’s fault exclusively, (but) there is probable cause,” he said. Czuj is charged with four marine safety violations: driving while drunk causing death, a 15- year felony; driving while ^u n k causing serious injury, a five-year felony; and reckless operation of a watercraft resulting in death and reckless operation of a water craft resulting in crippling injury, both two-year misdemeanors. LaFave was knocked into the water from the pontoon boat he was sitting on with several companions when it, and a personal watercraft tied to it, were struck by a speedboat Czuj was piloting. LaFave was thrown into the water and died as a result of his injuries. A companion, Sara Ribas, 28, of Howell, was seriously injured. The pontoon was drifting in the shallow water near the channel connecting Zukey and Strawberry lakes when the collision occurred shortly after midnight. Several people were knocked into the water and suffered minor injuries. In previous statements to police, it had been acknowledged that the running lights on the pontoon were turned off about 10 minutes before the crash. David Smith, a retired Coast Guard safety official who was brought in to testify by defense attorney Bruce Saperstein, said the lack of running lights, and not the other boat’s speed or Czuj’s intoxication, was the “primary” cause of the crash. Rene LaFave, the victim’s mother, disputed that. “(Czuj) killed my son, regardless of whether the lights were on or off, and he had been drinking,” she said after the hearing. Preston Meyers, 19, a Mend of Czuj’s who was on the boat at the time, testified that two 12- packs of beer were brought aboard. “I had seven or eight; (Czuj) had six or seven,” he said. Meyers estimated Czuj was going 25 to 30 mph when he suddenly saw the boat. “I yelled to Grant ... and remember flying through the air,” he said. Meyers testified he had previously been on the pontoon with other minors, and stated the lights were t)T)ically kept off at night so they wouldn’t be detected by police marine patrol boats and be cited for underage drinking. Czuj’s blood alcohol level, taken at a hospital after the collision, was .08, maldng him legalfy drunk nearly three hours after the incident. In testimony, Michigan State Police toxicologist Flex Adatsi estimated Czuj’s blood alcohol level at 0.1175 at the time of the collision. Czuj has been in the Livingston County Jail since Nov. 22, when blood alcohol test results showed he was in violation of his probation for a previous conviction on a possession of marijuana charge. Pikkarainen revoked his probation, resentencing him to the original one year in jail. The judge continued Czuj’s $100,000 cash bond, and he remains in the county jail. His arraignment is set for May 26.

Charges were dismissed against the Rev. Ronald Walker and his wife, Teri, at a preliminary examination May 17 before 53rd District Court Judge Suzanne Geddis. The Green Oak Township couple had been charged with two felony counts each: embezzlement of $1,000- $20,000 and conspiracy to embezzle $l,000-$20,000. They were arraigned in March after a Michigan State Police investigation uncovered shortages totaling thousands of dollars in the accounts of the Brighton Wesleyan Church, 7555 Brighton Road. Ronald Walker was relieved of his duties in April 2004 after members became suspicious about financial discrepancies and informed police. Teri Walker was the church’s bookkeeper when her husband was pastor. County Prosecutor David Morse said charges were dropped because the East Michigan District office of the Wesleyan Church would not cooperate with his request for records, so he had to use search warrants. That turned up 39 boxes of records in addition to the ones Morse already had. The newly found records must be sifted through to see if they contain any new evidence. “(Dropping the charges) didn’t have anything to do with lack of evidence,” Morse said. “If we had known (about the additional boxes) and they had (voluntarily) given us the information before, this wouldn’t have happened,” he said. Stephen Lacommare, attorney for Ronald Walker, said the newly discovered records may exonerate the Walkers. Ronald Walker is now an assistant pastor at Brighton’s New Life Community Church.

The original estimated $26 million price tag has been reiluced to $17 million under the 'jia te st proposal, with $11.5 mil- ,jJion of that being the first phase. i|;frhe physical size of the project <^Jias been reduced from 1.75 to *•1.25 acres. Planned are residential, retail and office components, with a two-story, belowground parking deck. In the new proposal, developer Norbert Boes and architect Scott Bowers presented plans that are 40,000 square feet less than the original proposal. The two, 60,000-square-foot buildings - down from 80,000 each - at North Michigan Avenue and Clinton Street, would be of masonry, steel and concrete. In addition, the project would be built in two phases instead of one. “It’s that the project was just too big, and the financing wasn’t working,” Bowers said. “Even though the county is doing well, there’s not enough demand for aproject of that size.” The first floor would consist of a restaurant and a financial services business, the second and third stories offices and the top-floor condos ranging in size from 1,000 to 1,800 square feet. Phase two would not be constructed until market forces dictated a need. Bowers said. It could have office space or residential units. Parking would be dovrasized from the original 325 spaces to 247. The larger of two parking areas would be public, municipal parking and the other private parking for building users. The project faces two deadlines imposed by the Michigan Economic Development Corp.: June 30 for a development agreement with the city as a prerequisite for a $1.1 million grant; Nov. 30, for the start of construction. Boes said he sees no problem hitting both. Concerns were expressed by members of the Howell Historical Society that the “stress” caused by the project could damage the foundation of the old train depot. “We have real concerns about the integrity of the building, the vibrations could damage the foundation and the artifacts,” said the group’s President Kathy Alward. Boes agreed to meet with the group to resolve concerns. Boes has also developed Victoria Park condominium-apartment development at M-59 and Michigan Avenue and the nearby Bankers Square development. Council members seemed satisfied with the latest proposal. “(The first phase) is on a fast track,” said Council Member Paul Rogers. “Hopefully, we can get some grant money.” T o m T o le n c a n b e r e a c h e d a t t t o l e 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 0 9 . LOVE leader wants all flags taken down Vicki Fyke says issues bring wrong kind of attention BY STEPHENIE News Special Writer KOEHN In a rather surprising about face, Howell resident Vicki Fyke has asked the Howell school board to take down two student group flags hanging at Howell High School that have been the center of debate for most of a year. “I ask that you please remove those flags - all of them,” Fyke said Monday during the board meeting’s public comment agenda. Fyke referred to the flag hung by the school’s Diversity Club last year and to the more recently hung flag representing the school’s 'Traditional Values Club. “I can’t keep up with the shifting logic of this argument,” said Superintendent Chuck Breiner the meeting. The Diversity Flag and its perceived relationship to the gay pride rainbow flag is at the center of this issue, he said. Some in the community, including Fyke allege that it is a symbol of gay rights while others, including club members, say that’s nonsense. Fyke, a founder of the Livingston Organization for Values in Education - a local conservative values group - said she wants both flags removed because she believes the debate about their suitability in a high school setting has created an adversarial relationship between groups of students at the school. And media attention to the issue has “put us in the national (limelight) for negative reasons,” Fyke told the board. Breiner responded, saying “we have no discussion about flags except when outside forces bring up the issue of the flag hanging.” Unfortunately, an action in April of one of the district’s teachers, he said, raised the issue again. A teacher faces a possible three-day suspension for placing a sticker bearing the message, “Hatred is not a family value,” under the 'Traditional Values (ilub’s flag. Responding to Fyke’s allegation that the administration has asked a teacher to facilitate a meeting between members of the two clubs for the purpose of “negotiating down” the flags, Breiner that is untrue. “I talked to two students from the Diversity Club at a recent meeting, but there was no attempt to have them meet under a prompt by a teacher.” In fact, Breiner said, he suggested to the students that any meeting should include “kids only.” Fyke was a vigorous supporter of hanging the flag designed by the school’s 'Traditional Values Club after being thwarted in her efforts to remove the Diversity Club flag. Calls to Fyke for comments 'Tuesday were not returned. Members of the Diversity Club have denied that their flag is intended to be a symbol of gay pride, while 'Traditional Values Club members have denied that their flag - a blue cross on a white background - is a Christian flag. Breiner has said both flags are covered by the “Equal Protection” clause of the U.S. Constitution. “It’s all or none,” he said. “I’m comfortable wdth (both) those flags hanging,” Breiner said. “I’ve always said this is about inclusiveness - and that includes students in both clubs. And it connects directly to the Diversity Resolution that the board approved in December 2003, he said. Also at Monday’s meeting, Howell resident John Arthur, saying he represented the LOVE group, presented Board President Sue Drazic with a framed copy of the national mot- Paid Advertising M o r t g a g e G u i d e From PURCHASING A NEW HOME?

Now, the building at Mill and Main streets in downtown Pinckney is being reborn as a sports bar. Lisa and Paul Stojek of Hamburg Township hope to have people cheering later this summer when they open Bleachers at 135 E. Main St. in the spot vacated nearly two years ago by The Blue Martini. “I was driving by last November, and I thought this is a building that needs to be turned into something,” said Lisa Stojek, who will leave her eight-year job as secretary at Howell’s Latson Road Elementary School to run this business. Joining the Stojeks in this venture is Mike Flore of Brighton, who opened The Arena, a sports bar at the corner of Fourth and Washington streets in downtown Ann Arbor, five years ago. “The Arena has been named the No. 1 sports bar in Ann Arbor for two years in a row by both the Ann Arbor News and Current magazine,” Flore said. “We look for Bleachers to become the No. 1 sports bar in Livingston County.” The partners purchased the building, equipment, liquor license, parking lot and a vacant back lot from Dave and Kelly Massey and Doyle Reed, who closed The Blue Martini in August 2004 after three years of operation. “The town has missed the activity The Blue Martini brought to town,” said Rick Beaudin, president of the Pinckney-Lakeland- Hamburg Chamber of Commerce. “We welcome these folks to town.” When renovations are done. Bleachers will have an “upper deck” with a main bar and eating area and appetizer rail for congregating around the bar, a “lower deck” downstairs with pool tables and dart boards, and an area for private parties and community events. New windows will be installed at the front of the building and two 10-foot high-definition TVs, 10 plasma TVs and six remote TVs will be placed throughout the area. “You’ll be able to see any game from any seat in the restaurant,” Flore said. “And this place will be a destination for spectators to come to after Pinckney sporting events - both for the home teams and the visitors,” Lisa Stojek said.

Chief Warrant Officer Matthew Zelenak, 2nd Lt. David Daniels and Sgt. Chad Ross of Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Macomb County, were the hit of Family Science Day on May 17. “It’s so big,” said Sam after climbing through an opening in the rear and walking down the large center aisle to the front. “All the stuff in the cockpit is really cool.” Fbmify Science Day started out with sfrffi, parents and students sharing pastries. Throughout the day, adults and kids witnessed 'Hopefully we can take a subject each year and do something like this. We love having parents in our building as much as possible.'

The Vietnamera helicopter can reach speeds of 130 mph and is primarily used to transport troops, supplies, ammunition and equipment. “It’s like a semi in the sky,” Ross said. The Chinook may have been the highlight, but students also enjoyed seeing and trying the experiments. Madison Kierst’s favorite was watching mints and pop combine for a big bang.

I like what they’ve done with this whole day.” Students and parents took home supplies and directions for additional experiments. The school hopes to have a day of authors and writing with students and parents next year, Farley Hill Principal Linda Henderson said. “Hopefully we can take a subject each year and do something like this,” she said. “We love having parents in our building as much as possible.” L e a n n e S m i t h c a n b e r e a c h e d a t l s m i t h @ H 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 . H o lo c a u s t s u r v i v o r s h a r e s w i t h s t u d e n t s Catholic Pole spent a year in Auschwitz BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter When Marion Szczepanski talks, people listen. The 86-year-old Holocaust survivor is a commanding speaker with a message and a mission: to speak about his experience in the German concentration camp at Auschwitz during World War II and to share his story with as many people as possible. Szczepanski, who lives in Northville, visited Brighton High School on Monday to talk with students in freshman English classes about the Holocaust. Teacher Sandy Davies’ classes recently read “Night” by Elie Wiesel, an autobiography about Wiesel’s experiences as a 15-year-old in Auschwitz. Szczepanski, who was raised Catholic, was arrested in 1940 by the Germans because he was Polish. He spent a year in Auschwitz. “Auschwitz was the greatest extermination center in the history of mankind,” Szczepanski told the students. “They killed Jews, Poles and Slavs and conducted experiments to sterilize women. The goal was to eliminate us and to produce as many Germans as possible. What we went through was unbelievable.” He talked about being forced to run on gravel in bare feet and dogs attacking and killing anyone who fell. He gave students an anti-smoking message saying that those prisoners who traded their ration of bread for cigarettes didn’t live as long. Szczepanski got out of Marion Szczepanski; Holocaust survivor. Auschwitz a year later and joined the Polish underground, which tried to kill Germans who committed crimes against Polish people. He walks with a cane after suffering a leg wound during the war and says that he still has a bullet in his shoulder. He also spent time in a German prisoner of war camp, in which he says he was almost killed during an Allied bombardment. After the war, he moved to England, and a decade later came to America where he found success as a metallurgist and an author on the same subject. He says that he wants to return to Poland and with help, write a book about his life. The Brighton students were captivated by his story. “I really like history and am especially interested in World War II,” said freshman Robert Stevens. Classmate Adrienne Botsford says she has learned a lot at school about the Holocaust. “It’s so interesting to learn how people could survive through it,” Botsford said.

TWo stories on this week’s front page illustrate that point. On the one hand, there is a bit of good news out of the Brighton district, where teachers and district administrators are reporting a tentative contract agreement. On the other hand, there is bleak news from Howell, where administrators say there wiil be costly cuts needed to find the money required to open the new Parker High School now under construction. While details are not yet public in the Brighton settlement, let’s hope there is good news for both ta^ayers and teachers in a reasonable financial settlement that both sides can afford. The situation was so bad in Brighton, that some teachers have refused to participate in year-end activities and there was a large-scale “sick out” May 5 at the middle schools that forced administrators to close the schools for the day. District voters agreed to tax themselves more for the construction of the school, not it’s up to administrators and legislators to find the additional operating funds to make it a quality academic experience for the students who will go there. That will not be an e a ^ task. Meanwhile, here’s a few cheers and jeers in other areas: Cheers: To Jeannie Seitz and all those who are helping this Brighton woman in her battle with cancer, for doing whatever they can to maintain normalcy in the Seitz household. Jeannie and Robert Seitz have three young sons who keep their parents hopping with a variety of activities. She continues to get chemotherapy and her supporters have another fundraiser scheduled for Junes. Jeers: To the thousands of registered voters who could not be bothered to go to the polls May 2 for the annud school elections. In the Howell district, with a contested school board race and a library bond issue on the ballot, 17.7 percent of registered voters went to the poll - and that was better than the counlywide average of 11.5 percent. Let’s hope voters will t ^ e their voting obligation more seriously in August and November. Cheers: To Biynn Mozniak, the 20-year-old University of Michigan nursing student from Brighton who decided she could do something to help a school for teen parents in Detroit. Her fundraising effort started modestly as she and another student worked through their sororities. As word spread, so did contributions and last week the effort had totaled around $14,000 in donations. Jeers: 'To Washtenaw County Circuit Judge Melinda Morris for handing out a light sentence for the Brighton Township man she promised “a lengthy prison sentence” if he was ever to drive while on probation when she sentenced him for causing the death of a Pinckney woman in 2003. So, when Bryan Cyman came back before Morris earlier this month after committing just the violation she warned him about, she gave him three years in prison. Lengthy? You be the judge. Cheers: To South Lyon High’s Lauren Verbiscus for being named our scholar-athlete of the year. She has excelled as a hurdler, but also plays volleyball and basketball. She’ll graduate this year with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. It’s hard enough to be either a good athlete or a good student. To be both takes a special dedication to athletics and academics that eludes most of us.

What you just read has nothing and everything to do with the Brighton Area School’s fifth-grade spelling bee, which took place at Lindbom Elementary School on May 18. The words in bold type were some of the words that students misspelled, causing them to be eliminated from the competition. The field started with 25 fifth-graders representing Brighton’s five elementary schools - Hawkins, Hilton, Hornung, Lindbom and Spencer. It took close to 90 minutes to whittle the field down to the final two: Christine Forward from Hornung and Alex Sauchak from HUton. Despite a broken foot and the need to use crutches, Alex was quick to take his turn at the microphone spelling such words as “lackadaisical,” “reign” and “civil.” He and Christine spent close to 10 minutes going back and forth to the microphone, vying to be the winner. Christine successfully spelled words including “tariff,” “wrestle” and “misspell,” and then it was Alex’s turn to spell “exception.” He spelled it a-c-c-e-p-t-i-o-n, which the judges told him was incorrect. Christine had to spell “experience,” and then the pressure was really on. The potential winning word was “improvise.” With that, Christine became this year’s winner. “I’m really happy and thrilled,” she said after she won. “I’ve sJways been a good speller.” Alex handled his second-place finish with aplomb. “I didn’t think I’d go this far,” he said. “I did study forever, which my mom and dad taught me to do.” All five elementary principals honored their students with certificates. The top five finishers received dictionaries provided by the Brighton Kiwanis Club, which also sponsored a pizza party for all 25 competitors. Tammi Ritter, a fifth-grade teacher at Lindbom, says that spelling is something fifth-grade teachers in the district focus on throughout the school year. “The spelling bee is a big event for fifth-graders, and they look forward to it,” says Ritter. “We prepare them for the spelling bee by teaching them diff^erent kinds of words and teaching them the rules of participating in a bee.” Lindbom Principal Kay Short congratulated parents for bringing their children to the event and supporting their education.

His work will be featured in this year's Art in the Park in downtown Pinckney. Craig Kivi's detaileid creations will be on display for 1st time at Pinckney event BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Nothing pleases Craig Kivi more than sitting down to some uninterrupted time at a table full of fish hooks, feathers, fur, foam rubber and thread. “You just never know what you’ll come up with,” said the Putnam Township resident. “You’re never limited on what you can do.” With some trimming and a few twists of the wrist, Kivi turns these materials into flies that are just as tempting to a hungry largemouth bass as they are to those who incorporate outdoor-themed art into their homes. “The more beautiful they are, the less practical they become for fishing,” he said. “The rule for tying a fly for fishing is to never t ^ e longer to tie it than it could take to lose it.” Some of Kivi’s more detailed creations, as well as those that are good for fishing, will be on display June 3 during the opening day of the 16th annual Art in the Park in downtown Pinckney. “It’s my first time there,” said Kivi, owner of Log Cabin Hardware and Golden Drake Flyshop, 9280 McGregor Road, near Portage Lake. “I’m looking forward to it. It sounds like a lot of fun.” The two-day event, which draws more than 100 artists and up to 10,000 visitors fi’om all over the country, concludes June 4.

While he said people can go high-tech to tie flies, he still sticks to a piece of an old log and a vice he put together at age 18. “My way is simpler, it works just as good and it’s a lot less expensive,” he said. Kivi uses patterns, as well as his own designs. The ties that -don’t end up as fish bait turn into jewelry, shadow box displays and even a glass-encased lamp base. He’s s focusing more on demonstrations than on sales at Art in the Park. “People always say that tying flies is way to complex,” he said. “It’s not. I hope to break it down very simply and debunk that myth. I think people will like seeing all the materials laid out and the flies that can be created with them.” Another new feature at this year’s Art in the Park is the Beatles tribute “Yesterday & Today” from 1:30-3:30 p.m. June 4 in the gazebo.

Kudos for Kull, scholarship given Carol Kull, who until last week ran the Home Builders Association of Livingston County, got a rousing sendoff from her membership at the group’s annual dinner May 17. The former executive officer, who held the post for the past 13 years, left for a new life in Texas. The HBALC continues to look for her replacement. “I’ve had some of my best experiences with this association due to Carol’s guidance and tender care,” said Lee Schwartz, political affairs director for the Michigan Association of home Builders. Kull received kudos from the state legislature as well as from the Livingston County Housing Growth and Opportunities Alliance. “These have been the best 13 years of my life,” Kull told the group, following many kinds words and a mini-roast. “As much as the association has grown, I have grown. It’s you that’s been nurturing me.” Also, the HBALC gave out it’s annual $1,000 Jack Dilloway Scholarship to Howell Township resident Buzz Karas, a junior at Michigan Technological University where he is studying civil engineering. Karas is apprenticing this summer with the Michigan Department of Transportation. He is a 2004 graduate of Howell High School and the son of Andy and Marie Karas.

Students work to restore hall Kensington Woods project fixing up 1856 Green OakTwp, site BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Power washing, scraping and plenty of caulking were the tasks at hand during a recent work day at the Old Green Oak Township Hall. Kensington Woods High School students are restoring the hall for its 150th anniversary as part of Project Term, a new, four-week school program. “The idea is to keep kids engaged at the end of the school year instead of just trying to get the year over with,” said building trades teacher Todd O’Grady, who is leading the project. “This gives us renovation experience and a chance to give back to the community,” said junior Adam Neff of Hamburg Township. “We’re going to prime and paint the whole building.” JoAnn Driver-Williams, president of the Green Oak Township Historical Society, is glad to have the help. “We’re so happy to have them working on the outside of the building,” says Driver- Williams, whose family has been in the township since 1918. “The inside of the main hall has been stripped down, and we need to put up new walls and ceilings, which we’re hoping students from Kensington Woods can help us with in the fall.” The 4,000-square-foot building houses a museum, archives, library and meeting facilities. It was used as a one-room school house and is Michigan’s oldest township hall, used for that purpose from 1856 to 2000. Junior Mike Killewald, who lives in Green Oak, said he’s excited to be part of the project. “Restoring a building like this is really meaningful,” he said. “I like working with my hands, and just like being out here working. It’s good experience to help you decide what things you like doing and what you don’t like.” Kensington Woods is in Genoa Township and is open to high school students across the state. For more information, go to www.kensingtonwoodshs. com. Send donations for restoration of the Old Green Oak Township Hall to the Green Oak Historical Society, EO. Box 84, Brighton, MI 48116-0084. IN BRIEF Flag disposal collection underway From News staff reports If you have a flag that is tattered or soiled and want to dispose of it properly, take advantage of the sixth annual Flag Retirement Campaign, which will run until Wednesday. Flags of any size will be accepted at any Livingston County library except the Crossroads branch in Hartland; the Pregnancy Helpline, 7743 W. Grand River Ave. in Genoa Township; and the American Legion Post in Howell at 3265 W. Grand River at M-59, across from the Livingston County airport. The flags will be retired on Flag Day, June 14, in a Veterans of Foreign Wars-American Legion ceremony at the American Legion Post in Howell. Bob Heinel, director of Livingston County Veterans Affairs, said the flag retirement ceremony will be open to the public. “There will be Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts helping with the ceremony,” he said. “The flags are first folded and then burned as part of the retirement ceremony.” For more information, call 810-599-7594.

In Barb Gienapp’s sophomore math transition class at Brighton High School, recycling has been a way to teach students about measurements, graphs and just how many pounds of paper the school throws away in a week. “There’s so much paper in this school,” said student Kelsey Gale. “We have no recycling at the school so I had my transition math class take on the job of recycling all the paper that was being thrown away,” Gienapp said. “They’ve been doing it every other Friday for two years.” The class divided into four groups: One that advertised what they were doing, one that weighed and counted bags, one that measured the cubic feet of the bags and another that fig- Brighton High School students Kelsey Gale, Heather Neal and Holly Lazio gather paper at the high school that is to be recycled. It's part of a learning project in their transition math class. ured out how much money the bags were worth. “This project has been good for the environment because paper wasn’t wasted,” said student Brenda Steller. “It made you feel good because you’re doing something good.” Kaylee Hancock was part of the weighing group. “It was frustrating because the bags would break all over the hall and then we would have to go back and pick up all the stuff that dropped. Recycling is a huge responsibility and takes a lot of effort.” Gienapp said they had to use the nurse’s scale to weigh the bags and they hauled as much as 2,308 pounds of paper in one week.

THE L IV IN G S TO N C O M M U N IT Y NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 26, 2006 B 7 Bagpiper's music is deeply rooted Richard Grieves masters a complex instrument BY CRYSTAL TYLL News Special Writer Perhaps it’s fitting that Richard Grieves became a bagpiper, for his personal history is as rich and powerful as the sound of his music. Grieves’ mother immigrated to the United States from Scotland. As a boy he was told stories of his great-great uncle, George Finlater, a bagpiper in the Service of the British Crown, who was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest honor his country could bestow. During the battle of Dargai Ridge in the Second Afghan War, he was wounded. Despite his injuries, he convinced his fellow soldiers to prop him upright to allow him to play for two more hours before his wind failed him. Because the function of the bagpiper was to signal the movement of the troops according to the tunes he would play, his duty, he felt, took precedence over his wounds. He did recover from the wounds and he went home to become a farmer, and later reenlisted with the Gordon Highlanders at the onset of World War I. He was presented the Victoria Cross on his deathbed in 1942. The uncommon loyalty, bravery and integrity of this ancestor was a source if deep inspiration to Grieves’ family. He was held up as an example of how each life affects another and the meaning of true sacrifice. While a very young man. Grieves, now 46, studied for the priesthood before deciding it wasn’t his calling. He then became a professional opera singer for a time and now teaches English and Latin at South Lyon High School. It wasn’t until Grieves was 32 that he began to play the bagpipes, though most players begin at age 11 or 12. “I was taught by Alistair Hill of Farmington, who I found through the local pipe band,” HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS, Bagpiper Richard Grieves wili participate Monday in the dedication of a memorial to three Fowlerville-area soldiers killed in Iraq. he said. “I learned that if you cannot sing, you cannot play the bagpipes. You must sing the notes out loud before you can play them on the pipes. “Also interesting is the fact that you cannot play for a dancer if you cannot dance. A piper has to be in the same rhythm as the dancer and must qualify to play for a dancer at a dancing competition. Playing for a dancer is the most difficult piping. I’m a mid-level piper, because I play for events.” These days piping engagements keep Grieves very busy. “I’ve just played for my 367th wedding,” he said. “I play for many different events, many parades, memorials and funerals. I’ve even played for a wrestling match.” On Monday at Greenwood Cemetery in Fowlerville, he will play at the Memorial Day dedication of a monument to three Fowlerville-area soldiers killed in Iraq; the ceremony is at 1 p.m. B a g p i p e r R i c h a r d d G r ie v e s c a n b e r e a c h e d a t 2 4 8 - 4 3 7 - 0 9 2 7 , o r e - m a i i h im a t c a l e d o n i a @ tm . n e t . Monument will honor 3 soldiers The deaths of Fowlerville-area men in Iraq inspire Monday's ceremony BY CRYSTAL TYLL News Special Writer It all began a year ago when Virginia Cola, a secretary at St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Howell, tuned into a talk radio show. She listened as fathers of two soldiers killed in Iraq talked about their sons’ lives and the heart-wrenching loss they were suffering. Gregg Garvey of Florida lost his son, Sgt. Justin W. Garvey, on July 20, 2003. He talked about his grief, and about his design for a monument he thought would be fitting for the soldiers killed in Iraq. “I had this vision of the memorial keep reoccurring and as I sat there, I thought: You know, with the simplicity of this memorial and the basic design, I could put one of these in the hometown of every hero we have lost or will lose in this war,” Garvey said. Come Monday afternoon. Memorial Day, one of those memorials will be dedicated in Fowlerville. As Cola listened to the radio discussion that day, she thought to herself, “This is a worthy thing.” On June 10, just a few weeks later after Cola heard that radio program, her coworker Cheryl Kilpela, a nurse, received the devastating news that her son. Marine Cpl. Andrew Kilpela of Fowlerville, had been killed in Iraq. “I wanted so much to do something for this, dear, dear grieving mother. We are all so close at the hospital. We’re like a family. My heart just broke for her,” Cola said. “I just thought about what people go through and what they have to bear. I decided to get involved with the Lest They Be Forgotten project that I had heard about (on the 'I wanted so much to do something for this, dear, dear grieving mother. We are all so close at the hospital. We're like a family. My heart just broke for her.' Virginia Cola,speaking about her St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital coworker, Cheryl Kilpela, who lost her son. Marine Cpl. Andrew Kilpela of Fowlerville, in Iraq. their shoes, but we can let them know we care,” she said. “I then contacted Gregg Garvey, who put me in touch with Skip Bushart, who heads up the Michigan chapter of Lest They Be Forgotten, and we just continued working from that point on.” More families would soon know that Cola cared for them. Lance Cpl. Michael Hanks of Gregory, a Fowlerville High School graduate, was killed Nov. 17, 2004. Maj. Gerald Bloomfield II of Fowlerville was killed Nov. 2,2005; Bloomfield’s sister, Paula Wallace, was the physician’s liaison for St. Joseph’s Mercy Livingston. Cola contacted all of the families and got to know them while working on the effort to honor their young men with a memorial. Approval to erect the monument in the Greenwood Cemetery was obtained and fundraising began. Each monument costs about $7,000. “It’s been an experience to know how much people care,” said Cola. “It took a while for everyone to catch on to what I was doing, but once they understood, everyone was so caring and giving toward the project.” There were fundraising auctions and car washes. Merchants put out canisters to collect COURTESY, SKIP BUSHART A monument like this one, coordinated through the Lest They Be Forgotten project, will be dedicated Monday at 1 p.m. at Fowlerville's Greenwood Cemetery in honor of three area veterans who were killed in Iraq. “The monument itself will be what is known as a Field Cross,” said Garvey. “That is a rifle propped upon a soldier’s boots with his helmet perched on top. It is made of granite for beauty and durability.” The ceremony honoring the three Fowlerville-area soldiers will be Monday at 1 p.m. at Greenwood, at the corner of Grand River Avenue and Cemetery Road. The ceremony will include representatives of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines.

Instead, those three were teams that participated at the 14th annual Brighton Relay for Life last Friday and Saturday at the Brighton High School track. “I want to help with a cure and support the community,” said ffim Esper of Howell Township, a member of the Everyday Angels team. The captain was Mary Nye, a cancer survivor from Howell, whose sisters Margo Hall of Pinckney and Darlene Bourgeau of Howell were on her team. “I was invited as a cancer survivor five years ago, and it was such a spiritual and emotional experience that we wanted to do this as a family,” Nye said. “We have 65 people on our team - friends, coworkers, and people from the community.” The Hope Squad started as a Bible study group made up of people from churches in Livingston County. Robin Woods, a member of the team, is a threeyear cancer survivor, and says this was the team’s first year. and she hopes the 20-member team grows and participates again next year. Karen Sidlar of Howell was inspired by her family to start a Relay for Life team, which she named Sidlar’s Pride Tumor Terminators. Both her mom and aunt died of ovarian cancer. “Most of our team members have had a family affected by cancer,” Sidlar said. “It’s hard to find people who haven’t been affected by it.” Jason Keech, community development director for the American Cancer Society office in Ann Arbor, says the mission of the 24-hour fundraising event is to make people aware of cancer and to educate them about cancer screening, early detection and prevention. He says that more than $275,348 was raised at last weekend’s Brighton Relay. Fowlerville will have its first Relay for Life on Sept. 9-10 at the Fowlerville Fairgrounds, and this will be the second year for the Hartland Relay for Life, scheduled for Sept. 23-24 at the Hartland High School track.

The sculpture is part of the Brighton Biennial display of public art.

S c u lp tu re a b o u n d s Brighton Biennial exhibit moving into downtown BY TOM TOLEN AND USA CAROLIN News Staff Reporters Sculpture is popping up all over downtown Brighton. “Don Quixote” greets patrons of the Yum Yum ’ITee restaurant as they exit. The man standing guard along West Main Street at the Mill Pond has a “Decision Pending.” What looks like a stairway to heaven near City Hall is really a “Standing Arch.” And those are just three of the 28 sculptures that will be in place by the time the Mayor’s Commission on Art in Public Places dedicates the sculptures as the initial installation of the Brighton Biennial exhibit that will be in place for the next two years. John Sauve, a sculptor himself, is the curator of the Brighton Biennial and has pulled together an impressive collection of large-scale works of art created by sculptors with regional, national and, in some cases, international reputations. Sauve, a Genoa Township resident, also is the force behind the Brighton International Film Festival. “I was given an opportunity by the city, which said you can do it as long as it doesn’t cost anything,” Sauve says. “They said ‘here’s a blank canvas, go with it.’” And go for it he has. Not only has he made the contacts to get the sculpture - which is ali for sale - put on display in downtown Brighton, he’s picked up many of the pieces himself and been installing the artwork on the donated concrete pads throughout the downtown business district. The public display of sculpture will be dedicated Saturday during a kickoff celebration that runs 3-7 p.m. in the parking lot of the Greater Brighton Area chamber of Commerce off Hyne Street at North Street. Chamber Executive Director and Brighton Biennial chairwoman Pam Mc- Coneghy will give a short address, along RICK FITZGERALD,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS At left, standing guard over the Brighton Mill Pond, is the sculpture "Decision Pending" by Jay Holland, which has created a buzz for its lack of clothing. All of the artwork on display as part of the Brighton Biennial can be purchased and this one is priced at $12,500. At right, Brighton Biennial curator John Sauve gets some placement help from two youngsters as he installs one of the more than two dozen sculptures that will be displayed throughout downtown Brighton. This one, outside the Yum Yum Tree restaurant, is titled "Don Quixote," by artist Steve Cannaert. with remarks by Mayor Steve Monet and former mayor Kate Lawrence, who created the sponsoring organization, the Mayor's Commission on Art in Public Places. “It really complements what we’ve been working to get across to the public, that of downtown Brighton being a destination for dining, shopping, recreation and cultural activities,” Monet says. Barbara Barden, director of the Livingston County Convention and Visitors Bureau, says the ongoing exhibit could be used a magnet to draw tourists from SEE BIENNIAL, A2 Brighton Biennial ■ What: Public display o f sculpture. ■ Where:Throughout downtown Brighton. ■ Sponsor: Mayor's Commission on Art in Public Places. ■ When: Art will be in place for two years. ■ Dedication: 3-7 p.m. Saturday at Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce. ■ Cost: Free. School board to be busy Brighton expected to choose new superintendent, vote on teachers'contract BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter The Brighton school board will have a lot on its plate Monday night. The board is expected to choose a new superintendent and alsovote on a teacher contract, which would cover the next two or three years. In the superintendent search, the school board has narrowed the possible choices to two candidates: Jim Craig, Brighton’s assistant superintendent for finance, and Susan Allan, an assistant superintendent in the Grosse Pointe school district. Allan also was a finalist for the superintendent’s position in Ann Arbor, but last week she pulled herself out of that candidacy. In the interim, John Hansen, a former Dexter superintendent, has been serving as superintendent since the departure in January of Dave Pruneau. Many teachers have been openly opposed to Craig becoming the superintendent because of his involvement in the contract negotiations, which have dragged on for a year. Brighton teachers have worked the whole school year without a contract. Those bargaining for the teachers and the school district did reach a tentative agreement on a new contract that calls for 2.25 percent pay hikes and changes in the way health care is paid for. According to the tentative agreement announced May 22, teachers, who belong to the Brighton Education Association, would get a 2.25 percent retroactive raise this year and the same increase next year as well as possibly for a third year. The new contract would also include higher prescription drug co-pays as well as a retroactive payment of $520 this year for health care coverage, which will increase to $620 next year and a choice of either a $720 payment in the third year or voluntary conversion to another plan with a $360 payment and membership in a tuition reimbursement pool. BEA President Barry Goode has said that many of the 384 teachers in the Brighton school district are concerned about the new prescription plan, which would double the cost of a generic prescription from $5 to $10 and a name brand prescription from $10 to $20, but that SEE BRIGHTON, A2 Nurse turns cancer into cause ,— ---------------- — ,— Hartland's Nora Kessel teaches women to insist on their right to thorough care BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Nora Kessel has a story to tell. She hopes to save lives by sharing it. “If I can save other people from waiting and wondering, it is worth sharing my story,” says Kessel, regarding her battle last year with an unusual type of breast cancer. She first noticed symptoms in January of 2005 when she discovered a rash and had some pain around her breasts. Because nothing showed up on a mammogram, it was treated as a superficial problem. Finally, thanks to what she calls her Irish stubbornness and her nursing background, she learned she had Paget’s disease, a rare form of breast cancer that doesn’t show up on mammograms. “What I learned is that you have to fight for your rights,” says Kessel. “You know yourself best. I feel very fortunate to have gotten great care at the University of Michigan. Now I’m cancer-free and want to help other women. I believe that attitude plays a bigger part in recovery than we give it credit for.” SEE KESSEL, A2 Nora Kessel ■ Age: 46 ■ Family: H u sb and ,Tom; son Steve, 21; d a u g h te r Jo, 19; son Phil, 15, a so p homo re at H a rtlan d High School. ■ Pet: Cat named Buddy. ■ Education: Nursing degree from Shapiro School of Nursing at Sinai Hospital in Detroit. ■ Jobs: Home care nursing and working as a hostess at Chris McGurrins Irish Pub and Restaurant in Hartland Township. ■ Hobbies: Beading, making Jewelry, a c tiv e with yo u th at church, and h ap piest w h en spen din g tim e w ith her family. ■ Currently Reading: "Befriending th e Stranger" by Jean Vanier. ■ Boards: H a rtlan d Board o f Education, Livingston Co un ty Catho lic Social Services, Pregnancy H e lp lin e , Big Brothers Big Sisters, H a rtla n d Senior Center. ■ Personal goals: "To make sure e v e ry o n e I care a b o u t is happy, to stay close to fam ily and fa ith , and to re tire in th e u p p e r Peninsula w ith my husband and read books, pick b lu eb e rrie s and w a tch sunsets."

Sculptures are available for purchas SONIA LGOTTFRIED,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS B I E N N I A L FROM A1 Public art in Brighton draws praise, criticism outside the area. “There’s ag(ricultural) tourism, historical tourism and also cultural tourism,” says Barden, who defines the latter as an event, or series of interconnected attractions, in which people spend time strolling around the community and viewing works of art. “They can tie in with a local gallery,” Barden says. “If we can work with those businesses, we can target art and student groups,” she says about attracting new visitors to the Brighton area. The biennial sculptures are situated in various locations around town, including street corners, parking lots. Mill Pond Park and in the Mill Pond itself, says McConeghy. Artists fi*om all over the United States - including regionally or nationally known names such as Sergio De Giusti, David Doming, Ray Katz, Nick Kripal, Charles McGee and Ken Thompson - have submitted works in a variety of media. The artwork will be for sale to the public, at prices ranging from $800 to $60,000. Organizers hope some people will purchase a sculpture will give it back to the community as permanent public art.The art works have elicited a wide range of comments fi-om the public. “There are so many sculptures that it’s overwhelming,” says Brighton resident Jan Eddy, who nonetheless thinks having the exhibit was a good idea. “I’m happy we’re making progress to make our town better.” Kim Tuner, who grew up in Brighton and lives in the Whitmore Lake area, said the sculptures “don’t go with the smalltown scene. It’s not that they’re bad, they just don’t fit in with the B ritto n look.” At least one local woman has suggested that the abstract nude male sculpture “Decision Pending” by Jay Holland does not belong in such a prominent location along West Main Street. City Manager Dana Poster said Ihesday the city had only received two calls about the statue. Monet doesn’t understand what the fuss is all about. “We don’t see any controversy,” he says. “In my opinion, it’s not even a nude, it’s so abstract.” Sauve takes the criticism in stride. “I think (the criticism) is valid,” he says, adding the fact that people are talking about it is a good thing. The works of art are doing what they were intended to do, provoke thought and discussion, Sauve says. He says the project - three years in the planning and execution - has been a lot of hard work. But he says it’s been worth it, adding he owes a debt of gratitude to the city for giving him the fi-eedom to pursue his ^ e am of Brighton becoming a magnet for public art. Sauve also notes that no public funds have been used for the project. While the primaiy focus of the biennial is “art for art’s sake,” Sauve says a secondary goal is bringing in people who would not normally come downtown to soak up culture and shop. “If you build it, they will come,” he says. Several other downtown events this year are either directly tied to, or are being coordinated with, the biennial. The Brighton Art Guild’s annual “Kaleidoscope” show this weekend was timed this year to coincide with the biennial opening (please see story. Page B6). The Brighton Art Pest, Aug. 12- 13, will t ^ e on special meaning this year with so much public art downtown. The downtown clothing store. Impulse, at 428 W. Main St., will stage a Brighton Biennial preparty fi’om 7-10 this evening with music on the back patio of the store facing Mill Pond Lane. As part of the store’s support of the Brighton Biennial, all shoppers get a 10 percent discount today on purchases, and the store is donating a portion of its sales to the biennial. Before the biennial, Brighton had just two public outdoor sculptures: Sauve's “Daesin” on West Grand River Avenue and local architect-artist Piet Lindhout's Mill Pond geese, called “Hot Landing.” Both have contributed new pieces for the biennial. B R I G H T O N FROMAi Agreement won't affed: current budget teachers feel favorably about the salary increase. Craig said the tentative agreement neither benefits nor hurts the cimrent school budget. He said the wage increases will cost the district more than budgeted and the health benefits will cost less than budgeted. Still unclear, however, is how the contract would affect future budgets, with the amount of perpupil funding from the state still unknown.

Through the University of Michigan and church groups, she has circulated her name and receives telephone calls from women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer as well as calls from women who have not yet been diagnosed but are concerned. Kessel is a nurse who specializes in home care for the elderly. “I love the relationship that the Hartland community has with its seniors,” says Kessel. “If you don’t have respect for elders who paved the way, you’re not going to be able to find your own road.” She also is very involved in the Hartland school district, where she lives and where her three children have attended school. She volunteers as a counselor and speaks at Hartland High School during the Mothers Against Drunk Driving Campaign every year. “My crazy youth has allowed me to connect with today’s youth,” says Kessel. “My hands are for the elderly and my mouth is for kids!” Kessel has been involved in the district as a member of the Hartland school board for the last 10 years. She was re-elected last month to a four-year term. She says the decision to privatize custodial services in the school district was the most difficult decision she has had to make. “I don’t like the idea of anyone losing a job,” says Kessel. “We’ve trimmed programs down to the bone and wanted to save teaching jobs with our student numbers growing. Our school district is growing, but retirement benefits are growing at a greater rate.” Kessel has lived in Hartland Township for 21 years and was encouraged to move there by longtime friends Sandy and Dave Norlin. “Nora is persevering and gets right back up after a struggle in life,” says Sandy Norlin. “She is passionate about whatever she is involved in and seeks the very best for the students and teachers as a member of the school board.” Kessel also works part-time as a host at Chris McGurrin’s Irish Pub and Restaurant in Hartland Township. “I absolutely love working there,” says Kessel. “I think they like having a mature face at the door. I started working there when it opened in February of 2005, and I feel like I’ve found another family. The owners have treated me so lovingly and been so accommodating with my medical leave.” Kessel grew up in Redford Township, and was one of seven children. She says she was a troublemaker and a rebel, and that helps her understand young people better now. Kessel graduated from Redford Union High School in 1978, spent some time at community college and then attended the Shapiro School of Nursing at Sinai Hospital in Detroit. After working in the emergency room and intensive care, she married and had children. She and her husband, Tom, do fundraisers and mission trips every year for a private home for mentally disabled adults that Tom’s family runs in West Virginia. Her friend, Pat Convery, president of the Howell Chamber of Commerce, says, “Nora is a neighbor of mine, and she has a delightful family. She is a lot of fun. She loves to laugh and can make me laugh. She has a very positive outlook on things. During difficult times she always looks for the solution, and while she does so, she keeps a great attitude.” That attitude extends to her family, her friends, and her commimity. “Hartland has been a beautiful place to raise our kids,” says Kessel. “People care about the history of the area, and they care about each other.” Lisa Carolin can be reached at lcarolin@livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2010.

In the Putnam Township hamlet of Hell, Tuesday just seems like a good day to put beliefs aside and observe a date that will occur only once in a lifetime. “Everyone is invited to visit us to commemorate the occasion,” said John Colone, whose alterego is Odum Plenty, the mayor of Hell. “There will be lots to do and plenty to make us laugh. We’re not evil; we’re just taking advantage of an excuse to have fun.” The festivities may actually start at midnight in Birmingham if a movie theater comes through with its promise of free tickets to the premiere of the 2006 remake of “The Omen,” Colone said. “I guess they want a bunch of people from Hell in the audience,” he said. “We’re happy to oblige.” From there, the event will be marked with a full slate of activities back in Hell at Screams Ice Cream and Halloween store. Hell Country Store and The Dam Site Inn, all located on Patterson Lake Road. Live music and entertainment, small ice cream cones and sundaes for 66 cents and pizzas for $6.66 will be available until midnight Wednesday. “After all. Hell is the town where Halloween is celebrated all year long,” Colone said. Commemorative merchandise, such as T-shirts and coffee mugs, will be on sale. Each comes with a signed and singed certificate of authenticity verifying that the purchase came from Hell, Mich., on June 6,2006, Colone said. Mike “Smitty” Hickey, owner of The Dam Site Inn is jazzing up his regular Thesday Karaoke Night with a special 666 costume Marking 6-6-06 Some may fear the coming of June 6 ,2 00 6 , on Tuesday, but John Colone and his alter-ego Odum Plenty, mayor o f Hell, are throwing a party in the tiny Putnam Township town. Here are some o f the events: ■ Live entertainment, prizes and food specials all day at Screams Ice Cream and Halloween store. Hell Country Store and The Dam Site Inn. ■ Children's songs from Creepy Clyde at Screams from 4-9 p.m. ■ A look at th e new Hell, Mich., w edding chapel. ■ Commemorative June 6, 2006, merchandise from Hell, complete with signed, sealed and singed certificates o f authenticity. ■ For more information, or to purchase items, call 734- 878-2233 or visit the Web at Hell2u.com. contest and food and drink specials. “We’ll give out some prizes for the best costume and best singer,” Hickey said. “We’re looking forward to a good time.” A special bus tour from Chicago already has planned a stop in town for the festivities, Colone said. Those inclined to have 6-6-06 as their wedding day can get married in Hell’s newest attraction, a wedding chapel, he said. Kids also are invited to join in the fun by listening and singing along to spooler songs from Creepy Clyde at Screams from 4- 9 p.m., and families can enjoy the newly remodeled ice cream store and park-like grounds, Colone said. “I wish to ‘Hell’ that I’d thought of this in January instead of two weeks ago, but we’re working hard to get everything ready,” Colone said. “We hope everyone will come out and join the party.” O c e o l a g e t s a s i r e n Tornado alert installed at Hartland border BY CASEY HANS News Staff Reporter A siren has been installed at the border of Oceola and Hartland townships to alert residents to take cover in case of a tornado sighting. Located on the west side of Hacker Road at Bergin Road, the siren was recently installed under a joint agreement between the two townships, said Howell Area Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Andrew Pless. It is the first of several such sirens planned for installation in Oceola. With the exception of the city of Howell, which has had sirens for years, Oceola is the first member of the regional fire authority to begin a siren installation, he said. 'The authority serves about 40,000 residents in the city of Howell and the townships of Oceola, Cohoctah, Howell, Marion and Genoa. The cost of each siren installation is $19,000 and each one covers a one-mile area in each direction. The first test of the new siren will be Saturday at 1 p.m.; the sirens will be tested on the first Saturday of each month at that time, Pless said. Oceola Township Supervisor Bill Bamber said the township’s growth has allowed it to consider the addition of sirens as a safely measure. “It’s something that’s needed, even if there’s only one house,” he said. “But with a larger population, we can better afford it.” Bamber said the township will consider installing another siren in the coming fiscd year. Vendor West Shore Services of Allendale was charged with finding the ideal location for the siren, following a study requested by the township. Pless said eventually both the Howell Area Fire Authority and the Hartland-Deerfield Fire Authority will have the ability to activate each others sirens in the case of a tornado sighting. C o u n t y t o g e t W e b s l e u t h Detective nabs Lansing man in online sex sting BY SUSAN L. OPPAT News Staff Reporter Just a few weeks into his training as a computer crimes sleuth, a Livingston County Sheriff’s detective has made his first arrest - a Lansing man who thought he was soliciting a 15-year-old girl over the Internet for sex. Detective Matthew Shutes, a 14-year police veteran, started an 18-month tour with the Michigan State Police Internet Crimes Against Children task force and Computer Crimes Unit about six weeks ago, he said. When he returns to the sheriff’s department, he’ll be the department’s computer crimes investigator. Livingston County Sheriff Robert Bezotte said he actually hopes to get Shutes back in less than 18 months, because the previous computer crime detective, Ed Moore, recently retired. “Identify theft is something that we haven’t even touched the surface of, but the most important thing is Internet crimes against ch ili’en,” Bezotte said. “There are not enough trained people in that field to deal with the issues, and that’s one of my priorities. Nothing gets me fired up more than a sexual predator trying to take advantage of Mds.” In the Lansing case, Shutes said, he was in a Michigan chat room, using one of his half-dozen online personas, this one a 15- year-old girl, when he was contacted by a Lansing man. Shutes said the man “engaged her in conversation, and aggressively steered toward sex,” over the course of two days. “Of course we obliged, and arrested him,” Shutes said. Michael Ballard, 29, was arraigned on charges of using a computer to commit a crime, a 20- year felony, and soliciting a minor for immoral purposes, a 10-year felony. Police confiscated four computers at his home. Anyone with information about computer crimes may call the team at 877-5CYBER3. (877-529- 2373). Summer heats up for car enthusiasts HOPE LASH, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Car buffs strolled the Brighton High School parking lot on Memorial Day, which was filled to capacity with all shapes and models of classic cars. Despite the temperature soaring to the low 90s Charlie Eudy of Plymouth, left, enjoyed discussing the custom-made full rail the Dave Bonk of Howell built for his 1963V2 Ford Galaxy. The annual car show is a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan, which grants wishes to critically ill children. District officials tour Parker New high school is on time and on budget, project manager says BY STEPHENIE KOEHN News Special Writer The afternoon sun warmed the brown brick facade of Howell’s new Parker High School, under construction in the midst of a clutch of construction trailers at D-19 and Wright Road in Marion Township. Optimism and spirits were high as some 65 school board members and others involved with planning the district’s second high school assembled this late May day for their first tour of the school that won’t be finished for another year. “It seems really big,” said board President Sue Drazic, craning her neck to take it all in. “It’s going to be beautiful.” The school, at 306,000 square feet, will be just three-quarters the size of the existing Howell High School, but in its current state, with ceilings unfinished and some walls still to be closed, it seems immense. Birds fly in and out through tears in the plastic sheeting that covers the window spaces, but which soon will be removed now that window installation has begun. It took 90 minutes to see all of the $70.6 million school that was fit to see. The two buildings, comprising academic areas in the main building and athletics in the fieldhouse, will be connected by a covered walkway, said project manager Jim Venton. The fieldhouse, at about 87,000 square feet, will contain main and auxiliary gymnasiums, a swimming pool, locker rooms, showers and restrooms. The remaining 220,000 square feet are devoted to three educational wings clustered around an open, light-filled cafeteria-commons area and a media center that includes computer and technology labs. Both the cafeteria-commons area and the media center will feature soaring 37-foot ceilings, Venton said. The academic building also contains an arts area with a theater, a building trades area and administrative offices, he added. Construction is complete or nearly complete for concrete foundations, structural steel and exterior masonry, Venton said. Under way are overhead mechanical and electrical work, interior masonry, exterior window and curtain wall installation and painting. These items will take from two months for masonry to six to eight months for mechanical and electrical and the remainder of the construction project for painting, he said. Still to be started are flooring, interior ceilings, pool installation and details. Paving of the perimeter road, parking lots and bus loop will begin in about a month, once curbs and sidewalks are finished. The project is on time and on budget, Venton said. “Our subcontractors are a really good group,” he said. “They’re keeping us on schedule.” So, from a construction point of view, Parker High School should be ready to open its doors by September 2007. Whether it will be able to open from an operational standpoint is still anybody’s guess, say administration officials. Optimism about opening and operating the school isn’t nearly as high as it is about getting it built, it seems. “We won’t know, technically. whether we can open Parker until the (state per-pupil) foundation grant is clear for 2007- 2008,” said Chuck Breiner, superintendent of school. “Our ‘drop-dead’ date for opening the school? We might know by next June,” he said. Breiner said some of the decisions about opening Parker rest with union negotiations. “A lot of this is sensitive to collective bargaining and how we come out of it,” he said. “We’re not a wealthy district.” Growth, or the lack of it, also will have an impact on the decision, Breiner said. “We’re at 2,600 students and holding at the high school,” he said. We anticipated 2,700 by 2007, but I don’t know that we’ll see that.” The board has scheduled a “roll up the sleeves” budget session for June 19 at the high school to try to find ways to eke out money from an already stripped-down budget to be used to open Parker, said Associate Superintendent Rick Terres, the district’s finance expert. “We’ve always had a solid revenues-to-expenditures track record,” he said. “We had our homework down pat. If we controlled our own revenues, we wouldn’t have tough business decisions to mak^e.” Terres added that the district still doesn’t know what its state aid will be for the 2006-07 budget year, much less for the next year. And, Terres said, if there is a significant change in the Legislature or in the governor’s office, “things could change pretty drastically” in a short amount of time. “It’s these wild cards that are causing us to see-saw back and forth” about the school’s opening, he said. R o g e r s t o u t s h e a l t h i n f o r m a t i o n b i l l Area cancer center goes paperless BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter Congressman Mike Rogers was on home turf in the Brighton area Tuesday to tour a new cancer treatment center while touting legislation designed to speed the sharing of patient information digitally. The Brighton Republican is co-sponsor of a bill (HR 4157) that would create a national electronic data base and information- sharing system for the nation’s hospitals, clinics and physicians. Rogers estimates the Health Information Technology measure would save $81 billion in annual health care costs, including $23 billion in Medicare and another $31 billion borne by private payers. Rogers cited the case of a Fowlerville woman who experienced chest pains and went to her doctor. She was immediately sent to a hospital where, even though she had previously been tested, she had to have the tests repeated, since there was not way to immediately transmit the previous test re sults. “It saves time and money,” Rogers said of HIT. Rogers said such a system would be particularly helpful in states like Michigan, where many people spend the summer after wintering in the south, dealing with different doctors and hospitals. The legislation, if approved, would result in financial incentives including tax breaks, grants and loan programs to create the system, Rogers said. Potential downsides include the high cost of installing the technology, lack of uniform national standards, concerns over patient privacy and security and outdated laws that create incentives for volume and discourage investment in health information technology. The paperless technology already is an accomplished fact at the new Warren R. and Lauraine A. Hoensheid Cancer Center at the Woodland Health Center west of Brighton. The new center, just opened last month by the St. Joseph Mercy Health System, is at the cutting edge of “electronic charting” in the medical field as the first paperless information technology system by a medical facility in Michigan. “We made the decision here to go paperless and took that leap forward,” said Dr. Douglas Edema, the chief operating officer at both Saint Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Howell and the Woodland Health Center. “(Also), not to repeat a test is a better patient experience,” Edema said. “What they’re saving is a significant amount of money,” Rogers said, saying Washington Hospital Center in the nation’s capital saved $3 million in its first year using the electronic information system. Rogers said hospitals using the system report medical errors have decreased significantly as a re sult. The bill is now in the energy and commerce committee, which is expected to act on it later this month. Realistically, due to reticence on the part of some to share medical information, Rogers doesn’t expect passage of the bill before 2009.

This is the first time a group from Brighton High has been awarded the top honor. The members of the quintet are Jeff Pethoud on French horn, Adam Gandolfo on first trumpet, Jason Schneeman on second trumpet, Sean Peterson on euphonium and Chris Flechsig on tuba. Brighton Township Fire chief promotes millage increase Fire Chief Martin DeLoach made a presentation to the Brighton Township board Monday in favor of a 1.25 mill, fiveyear request that voters in Brighton and Genoa townships and the city of Brighton will decide on Aug. 8. The tax would replace a levy of just over ninetenths of a mill that expires this year. That operational levy for the paid, on-call, mostly parttime fire department is down from the original 1 mill because of Headlee rollbacks. “We have two areas of concern,” DeLoach told the board, “the ability to have staff available to safely respond to emergencies and replacing apparatus. We will need close to $2 million worth of equipment in the next five years and would eventually like to evolve into 24/7 coverage, which will cost close to $500,000 per year.” The Brighton-area department is operating on a budget of $2.2 million for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. If the 1.25-mill request passes, it would generate about $2.5 million in the first year. The department has about 60 firefighters plus seven full-time employees: a chief, deputy chief, two lieutenants, two &e inspectors and a secretary. Fowlerville School board meetings to move At least the next two regular Fowlerville school board m eetings will be moved to Kreeger Elementary School media center from the high school as the district undergoes massive building renovations and swaps the current junior high building with the high school. Meetings will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and on June 20. Storage issues will also affect the summer’s meeting schedule, said Superintendent Ed Alverson. “Everything in the (high school) building will need to be packed up and moved to the new high school,” he said, referring to the current junior high school. At the same time, items in the junior high will first need to be removed from the building and stored elsewhere in the district. Administrators are still working to find room for the various summer activities typically housed in district buildings, such as preschool and athletic camps. Alverson said moving will begin on Monday, June 12, with the exception of some new furniture purchased under the 2004 bond issue. For those items, vendors will deliver, install and remove packing material from the new high school. In the meantime, replaced items will be available for purchase during a school district garage sale Friday, June 9 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the board office parking lot off North Grand, south of Sharpe Road. North Grand project will begin June 12 Just as Fowlerville’s school campus will be reconstructed, so will the adjacent road of North Grand, north from Addison Farms Condominium complex to Sharpe Road, beginning June 12. The $540,000 road improvement project will feature curbs and three lanes to accommodate acceleration and deceleration lanes to the school campus. The village of Fowlerville and Fowlerville Community Schools will contribute $207,500 each to the project and the developer of Pheasant Run subdivision will pay $125,000. Work is expected to disrupt traffic for thousands of local drivers daily. Rotary Club raises $3,000 for park The Fowlerville Rotary Club raised about $3,000 in an auction April 22. The auction was the kickoff of the Rotary’s fundraising projects for the year for their Community Park Improvement Project. The club would like to thank auctioneer Art Durocher and Ann Reid of Fowlerville, who did the clerking, as well as all of the donors and people who came out and purchased items.

Brighton building projects honored Planners salute 3 visually appealing construction and renovation projects BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter Business officials, city representatives and award winners were on hand at the Brighton Planning Commission meeting last month for the annual Siford, Ewing and Greimel awards, created to honor and recognize individuals and groups who have completed building projects that benefit Brighton aesthetically and architecturally. The Siford award (for projects completed in 2005) was won by Land Title Co. of Livingston at 711 E. Grand River Ave. “We wanted a building that people would recognize and remember,” said Land Title President J e f ^ y R Street. “We wanted people to know who we are and to recognize Land Title agency,” Street said. Land Title gutted the building at the site, gutted it and completely renovat^ it, resulting in a visually appealing, 4,400-square-foot, brick-and-steel building. The architect for the project was Prince Architect Group and the general contractor was Steelhead Development. Land Title first brought plans for its project to the city in 2004. Once site approval was obtained, construction began and was complied last November. “It was an easy process once we knew what the city’s parameters were,” Street said. The office accommodates the 14 people on the Land Title staff. The City Planning Commission created the Siford Award in 1987 for the best effort among new commercial and industrial projects. Past Siford award recipients have included the law office of Paul Bums, Lawrence Auto Bocfy, OptimEyes, Mill Pond Parke and Write Impressions. The E.D. Ewing award for home construction and improvement projects was given to John and Debra 'Rinis of 623 W Main St., owners of the Hyne house, one of Brighton’s best-known homes, which they renovated. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Land Title Co. of Livingston, at 711 E. Grand River Ave. in Brighton, was gutted and renovated. The building, shown before the renovation in the top photo and after the renovation above, won the annual Siford award for outstanding architecture in the city of Brighton. “After five and a half years of hard work, this acknowledgment Sum the cily of Brighton is an unexpected reward and the icing on the cake,” said Rinis, who also is a member of the City Council and Planning Commission. 'Rmis abstained from voting when the winner was chosen. The other nominees were Caretel Inn at 1014 E. Grand River Ave. and a new home at 215 S. Third St. owned by Daniel Cummings. The Hyne home, originally built in 1876, burned down in 1913, and was rebuilt the following year. The Greek Revival home was built by the Hyne family, who established a granary that became the Hyne Lumber Company, and is now the site of the Main Street Crossing condominium development. The Plaiming Commission established the E.D. Ewing Award in 1992. The award recognizes single and multifamily dwellings that went through recent design, construction or remodeling. The Karl H. Greimel award was given to the city of Brighton for the Mill Pond Lane Project, a joint endeavor by the city and Downtown Development Authority. The $1.7 million project included burial of overhead power. telephone and cable television lines, new underground municipal utility lines, reconstruction and widening of the street and converting the Hyne Street alley to a pedestrian walkway. The Greimel award exemplifies overall excellence in the balance and scale of the building and its amenities, as well as the proper use of land, and innovation and creativity, according to city Management and Development Services Manager Jennifer PiasecM. The Planning Commission established the Karl H. Greimel award in honor of longtime city planning consultant Greimel. rjt^Jne/' 0 - 4 ' 7> >■ Come Celebrate! Register Jbday!

Amy Felty Village Clerk 03438361 LCN A6 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 20 0 6 MM JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLAJHE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Dr. Daniel Hartman, senior vice president of product development for Iceland-based deCode Genetics Inc., works with his team out of an office in Brighton. The company applies its discoveries in human genetics to the development of drugs for common diseases. The medicinal tailor Ijenetics company Ikipsthe mice and looks for human matches to drugs |Y SCOTT ANDERSON -A/ews Staff Reporter if Tradition dictates that developing a new drug starts with studying a promising compound and advancing to animal testing, usually with mice. If those steps prove safe and successful, scientists begin human tests. * At deCode Genetics Inc., mice need not apply. The Icelandbased company, which created a research and development office in Brighton nine months ago, Erst plunges deep into human genetics to find a match with a potential drug. “We’re not mice, we’re people,” said Dr. Daniel Hartman, senior vice president of product development at deCode, which has an office on Second Street in Brighton. “By using genetics, we’re trying to go right to the humans first.” Using genetics moves away from a one-size-fits-all method of developing prescription drugs to capture the largest patient population. Many big pharmaceutical drug companies, including Pfizer in Ann Arbor, are restructuring their R&D units to keep pace with the number of brandname drugs switching to lowercost generics when their patents expire. “Things are changing, mostly out of necessity,” Hartman said. “You may have a very good drug. But how does it compete in a world where it will go generic in a few years?” And when it comes to genetics data, deCode has plenty. The company has collected voluntary DNA samples from 110,000 Icelanders or roughly half of all adults in the country, all of which is stored in a sealed lab-and-information center in Reylqavik. What’s more, deCode couples that data with government records that have tracked the genealogy of Icelanders, back to the first settlers, to have a broader picture of genetic pools. All told, the data center in Iceland stores 40 terabits of data. That’s the equivalent storage of about 40,000 personal computers using a standard gigabyte of storage space. All that information gives decode a rare and extraordinarily detailed road map to track gene mutations and find new drugs to treat them. “The whole goal is to take something this uncertain,” Hartman said gesturing with a his hands spread well apart, “and make it this certain,” closing the gap to a few inches. The company’s discovery team in Chicago develops compounds against certain genetic targets. The Brighton team enters the picture as those compounds move to clinical testing in patients. Hartman worked in Pfizer’s cardiovascular and respiratory areas, spending most of his time examining particular compounds and preparing for large human trials. Hartman managed to attract other Pfizer scientists from the Ann Arbor Laboratories to join deCode, including a project manager and a statistics expert for computer-aided clinical trials. The company has three compounds being tested in clinics, and hopes to move another two to clinical testing this year. The lead compound is known as DG- 031, which is aimed at preventing heart attacks. A compound initially licensed from Bayer Inc., DG-031 will begin a key phase three clinical trial in the first half of this year. John Freshley a genetics data expert and Ann Arbor entrepreneur, said companies like ded eC o d e G en e tic s In c The Icelandic company first studies human genetics to find common patterns in disease to match with potential prescription drugs. ■ Local office: 815 N.

Code confirm an industry trend of actively using genetics to build medicines. The results may not be so-called “personalized medicines” just yet, but they’re at least tailored ones. “The idea has definitely gained critical mass. No longer do you hear pharmaceutical companies pooh-poohing tailored medicine,” said Freshley, who also is interim CEO of Ann Arbor-based Compendia Bioscience Inc., a new company that has licensed a genetics database from the University of Michigan to help academics and companies research cancer drugs.

The tan-and-taupe female joins two other babies, called “crias” that were born in recent weeks to the Oak Grove Alpacas herd. She has yet to be named, but will join other herd members who are all named and registered through the Alpaca Owners & Breeders Association. Shearing with some help Alpaca owners come together this time of year for shearing that removes a year-old coat of valuable fleece that can be spun into specialty goods. Dave BinkowsW and his helper were on site recently at the Waling’s ranch where he was working through their herd of 22 animals, generating bag after bag of soft fleece. “They call me ‘the Alpaca barber,’” he said. Binkowski shears about 1,100 alpacas each year from Benton Harbor to Gibraltar from the three-month season that runs from April through June. He started out by shearing eight of his own sheep, then moved on and made alpacas his mainstay. “I saw an ad for an alpaca farm. I just fell in love with them,” he added. Michele Waling said the shearing not only provides part of their livelihood, but also keeps the animals cool for the summer season. “Even Above, neighbor Ed Schlichting, left, who owns Autumn Alpacas, helps Michelle and Victor Waling during the alpaca shearing process. Shearer Dave Binkowski of Portland, Mich., right, and assistant David Danielson do the shearing while Schlichting holds the alpaca's head. At left. Alpaca Estrella and her baby, or "cria," named Jason spend time together just after the shearing is done. The two are among a herd of 22 animals at Oak Grove Alpacas in Howell Township. Shearing is done each spring. Fleece is sheared annually from the alpaca herd at the Waling home in Howell Township where Oak Grove Alpacas is located. The fleece is cleaned and then spun and woven into goods for sale by Michelle Waling.

He took a week off from his job for the shearing process. “It’s kind of like a social event,” said Schlichting.

In Livingston County,fun is all around us during the warm summer months RICK FITZGERALD The Livingston Community News I get it. After spending a long holiday weekend at a home that sits on a lake in northern Michigan, I think I finally understand why so many people clamor for lakefront property in Livingston County. It’s great fun to be at the lake. You can wake up in the morning and one of the first things you see is the calm water of the lake. By the time you’re ready for action, there’s boating, fishing and swimming to consider. What better place is there to read a book than on a deck overlooking a lake? But if you head “up north” to be near the water, you’re only there for a couple days at a time and you have to endure the three- or four-hour drive on either end of that lakefront experience. Lakefront living never seems to go out of style. And in Livingston County, with as many as 500 lakes of all shapes and sizes, there are days that it seems like everyone - everyone but you - lives on a lake. People who live on the lake can grab a pole and go fishing as quickly as they can climb out of the car after work. People who live on the lake can start every summer day with a swim by taking a few steps into the water. People who live on the lake may be more savvy than the rest of us when it comes to water sports, but there are ways to enjoy summer in Livingston County without owning your own little piece of waterfront heaven. ■ Hit the beach: The great thing about living in Michigan is that you don’t have to own lakefront properly to get to the lake. Livingston County has several parks with beaches. The Brighton State Recreation Area has a beach at Bishop Lake. The Howell City Park has a beach on Thompson Lake. ■ Pitch a tent: You can get away without going very far. The campgrounds at the Brighton or Pinclmey State Recreation Areas are just a short drive from home, but the campground lifestyle can take you a world away from your normal routine. ■ Ride a bike: Whether you like to stick to paved roads or get out on a trail, there are lots of options for rides in and around Livingston County. The trails at the Brighton and Pinckney State Recreation areas are some of the most popular in southeast Michigan for mountain bikers. ■ Take a hike: In the city or in the woods, on a sidewalk or on a trail, walking is just one of those things we all should do more often. Whether you pack a lunch and call it a hike or walk to your local library to pick up a good book, summer is the time for stretching the legs and giving your car a rest. ■ Pick some fruit. One of the neat things about living or working in a county that’s still a mix of suburbia and farmland, is the chance to visit local farms. You can pick cherries, raspberries or blueberries at several local farms. What’s not to like about an activity that allows you to sample as you pick? ■ Have some fun: If you still want someone else to organize your summer activities, local service clubs, community groups and others are happy to oblige. There seems to be a festival or fair of some sort nearly every weekend through Labor Day and beyond. There’s Pinckney’s Art in the Park this weekend, the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell (June 23- 25), the Fowlerville Fair (July 8- 15), the Brighton Art Festival (Aug. 12-13). So lakefront living or no lakefront living, there’s no excuse for not making the most of the summer months.

Sophomore Emma Poyhonen and juniors Raquel Perez and Ryan Hoseney won gold and silver medals for their presentations developed to educate elementary and middle school students about the important issues of proper nutrition and saying no to drugs and alcohol. It was the first time Pinckney High School students participated in the FCCLA conference. Several hundred students from across the state competed in areas related to families, community involvement and career interests. Poyhonen won a gold medal for h er presentation on proper nutrition and weight control. She used the book “The Veiy Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle and a sock caterpillar to help illustrate good and bad nutritional choices to 50 first and second grade students at Farley Hill Elementary in Pinckney. Silver medalists Perez and Hoseney were recognized for their work with seventh and eighth grade students to teach the dangers of using drugs and alcohol. COURTESY, KITTY FOYLE Pinckney sophomore Emma Poyhonen, left, and juniors Raquel Prez and Ryan Hoseney wear the medals they recently won at the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) leadership conference. The pair first conducted surveys to determine Pinckney Pathfinder Middle School students’ views on alcohol and drugs. They used the results when designing their presentation, which demonstrated through a tri-fold poster the effects drugs, inhalants and alcohol have on the body. Students also played a game similar to “Simon Says” and learned how drugs and alcohol can affect memory, motor skills, etc. All three students were taught by Pinckney High School Family and Career Services educators Gayle Reuter-Alm and Kitty Foyle. “We are very proud of the outstanding effort shown by these students to share important lifestyle information with their younger peers, and look forward to more participation by Pinckney students at next year’s competition,” Gayle Reuter-Alm said.

ALPACAS FROM B1 Animals'sheared fleece can be eventually spun into yarn About Alpacas ■ History: Alpacas were first brought to the United States from South America in the mid-1980s. Here, alpaca owners breed and sell both their animals and their fleece and some ranchers also spin and weave their fiber into various products. ■ Types: There are two different alpacas types: The suri with long fleece and the huacaya with a shorter dense fleece. Alpacas have soft padded feet, making them gentle on pasture land and they have no top teeth in front.They weigh between 100 and 175 pounds, eat grass, hay and grain and have a lifespan of 15-20 years. ■ Fiber: Each alpaca produces 5-10 pounds of fiber each year. Alpaca fiber comes more than 20 colors. Source: MichiganAlpaca.com and staff research The alpaca lifestyle Schlichting is a stockbroker who said his family got into the alpaca business four years ago after looking for a good investment. He said his family enjoys the lifestyle as well. The Walings started their herd by purchasing two and starting small - and they have chosen to keep their herd that way. Both their 12-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter have grown up around the herd. “It’s been kind of fun as a family,” Michele Waling said. Formerly a student of architecture and an illustrator, she who got into the alpaca business with her family after marrying Victor and moving to Howell Township. “One weekend, we visited an alpaca farm for the fun of it,” she said. “Next year, I went and helped that farm shear.” In 2000, the Walings started their backyard alpaca ranch on five acres west of Oak Grove Road and south of Allen Road. “They’re herd animals, so we had to buy two,” she explained. Animals can range in price from $10,000 to $25,000, Waling said. But some breeding males - like thoroughbred horses - can fetch prices much higher and often several people or ranches own them, Schlichting added. Alpaca ranchers make their money in several ways: From breeding and selling their animals, from sale of the animals’ fleece and some, like the Walings, from spinning, weaving, knitting and sewing specialty goods made from the fleece. Spinning and weaving Once the annual shearing is completed, Michele Waling focuses some of her efforts indoors. There, she sorts and cleans the sheared fleece and sends it out to the mill where it is washed, dyed and some blended with other materials. The fiber comes back from the mill in what is called roving - long strips of fleece that can be spun into yarn. She then works with unique patterns for h er woven goods which include jackets, shawls, scarves and other specialty goods that she sells locally and over the Internet. Some of her goods have silk added, and others wool to give the woven goods what she calls “memory.” The alpaca fiber itself “is more like cashmere than wool,” she explained. Not only was the idea of raising alpacas new to the Walings, but also the production of goods from the animals’ fleece. “I learned to spin and I didn’t know how to knit,” she said. “Sewing - that was the one thing I could do.” She uses all of these learned talents, including weaving on looms, to make her goods. Waling estimates she spends about 40 hours a week in caring for the animals as well as on her finished craft. Visit Oak Grove Alpacas online at www.oakgrovealpacascom or call them at 517-546-4287.

Students spent two weeks of recess time digging the holes for the trees. “They have to be just right because if the trees are planted in holes that are too deep, it could choke them,” said 10-year-old Sara Dillehay. Once the cedar, white pine, maple, pin oak, locust, tulip and sycamore trees were delivered and put in the holes, students filled them back up with dirt and gave them a good drink of water. “I like the evergreens best,” Elijah said. “They always stay green, and they’re pol^.” The Sierra Club Crossroads group, which serves greater Livingston County, hopes the grants will foster knowledge, concern and a lifelong commitment to natural resources, Andersson said.

All the trees planted at Hamburg Elementary are indigenous to Michigan. Andersson said she expects they will be used often by science classes. She even thinks their leaves will make their way into student art projects. “We want to make Hamburg Elementary more beautiful and healthy,” Sara said. “'H’ees suck up carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen. We breath oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, so it’s perfect.” While planting the trees was hard work, students agreed this was a worthwhile project to leave at this school when they head off to fifth grade at Navigator School next year. “This was really fun,” said 10- year-old Katie Goulet. “It’s the best thing we’ve ever done.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@livingstoncommunitynews. com or at 810-844-2011.

Brighton Art Guild members work showcased in exhibit Called Kaleidoscope, the exhibit is on display at the Brighton Lions Community Den BY LISA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter The Brighton Art Guild is making its own contribution to the local art scene in conjunction with the dedication of the Brighton Biennial sculptures this weekend. The guild is presenting its seventh, all-member ejAibition called Kaleidoscope this weekend. This year, for the first time, the exhibition will be at the Brighton Lions Community Den in downtown Brighton beginning today. The group of local artists also has made a donation of $1,300 to help pay for the installation of the sculptures throughout downtown B ritto n . “This is another part of local art and we are pleased to have it at the same time that the sculptures have gone on display,” says Norma Gray, who is a founding member and on the board of the Brighton Art Guild. “Kaleidoscope is special because all members of the guild can show their work together. It’s a celebration for the community and for ourselves.” The Brighton Art Guild also coordinates the art displayed at the Brighton District Library yearround and Art at the Mill Pond during the summer.

I’ve lived in the area since 1973 and have watched the art scene grow.” Gibbon does his artwork on a computer and calls it digital painting. “I use photo software and an airbrush to create many layers,” says Gibbon. “When I start out, I have no idea where I’m going, but as it develops. I’ll see an interesting portion and blow it up. Then all of a sudden it will start to come to life.” He has completed more than 200 pieces.

Fowlerville track coach Debi Douglass is coaching through Lou Gehrig's disease. JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Coaching helps former track star fight disease Debi Douglass walks as fast as she can with her cane. Douglass, 48, the Fowlerville boys track coach, is all over the Fowlerville track, sorting out the last-minute details in preparation of the Capital Area Activities Conference Division III meet May 24. Minutes later, some runners gather around her in a tight-knit huddle as practice begins. Douglass can’t bark orders like she used to. An emergency tracheotomy last December has taken some of her voice. Douglass’ body is slowly eroding, a victim of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS. By continuing to coach despite her diagnosis a year ago, she’s attempting ,to fight back against the dreaded motor neuron disease that New York Yankee slugger Lou Gehrig made famous. She continues to exhibit the same spirit and determination that made her a national record-holder as a star athlete at Fowlerville in the 1970s. “I will not let it control me,” she says. “It is my goal to coach as long as I can do it well. I will not do it just because I can. I will do it as well as I ever have, or when the time comes, step down and pass it on to someone else.” This weekend’s Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 2 state track and field meet wraps up the track season. Douglass hopes to be back next year, but life must be taken day by day. There’s no cure and only minimal trea tments for ALS. She believes her passion for coaching helps to beat the odds associated with ALS. Statistics show that 50 percent of patients with ALS die within 18 months to three years, she said. “There is only one known medication that affords patients help (with ALS). I found something that has a large impact, worWng with these kids,” she says. “It keeps me ahead of the disease. It helps me mentally more than physically. Having relationships with these athletes feeds my emotions. They’re young. They’re excited. They take me under their wing as much as I take them under my wing. They trust me. I look forward to coming out every day.” Douglass believes her ALS diagnosis might be another negative side effect of a severe car crash in 1992 where she suffered a traumatic brain injury. She says some studies have linked the two, but nothing has been proven. After the crash, she had to relearn simple math skills and how to talk. She began experiencing more problems in 2001. Her voice became raspy, and she lost some coordination in h er right hand. Her mysterious sipiptoms grew worse each passing year without an explanation from her Nashar thrives after being bumped Brighton senior accepts No. 2 singles role after holding top spot last year BOYS TENNIS BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter Paul Nashar knew he had to take a leadership role. Nashar, the No. 1 player for the Brighton boys tennis team last season, had just lost his position to sophomore Joel Parrish in a series of challenge matches. He could have pouted about losing. He could have demanded another shot to reclaim the spot. He could have complained about the arrangement, possibly driving a rift within the team. Instead, he’s accepted his role at No. 2 singles and thrived in it, going 18-4 this season. The Bulldogs are a better team for it. The team has two No. 1-caliber players at the top of the lineup. “As a captain, it’s my job to do what’s best for the team,” Nashar said. “Him playing No. 1 is best. He’s proven himself. I did well at No. 1 last year. Playing at No. 2 gives you even more confidence.” The move has paid off with a No. 6 seed in his draw at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division I state tournament this weekend. He’s received a bye into the second round, where he’ll meet Steve Demps of Utica Eisenhower. Brighton’s powerful singles lineup is the main reason the Bulldogs captured their third straight regional title and qualified for states for the fourth year in a row. The state tournament will be June 2-3 at the Midland Community Tennis Center. Playing at third singles a year ago, Parrish improved exponentially during the off-season, playing almost every day. Brighton tennis coach Brian Martin said playing in national tournaments did wonders for Parrish, who is 20-6 this season. “He comes up against a lot of those big guys who are strong players in the off-season,” Martin said. “He prepped himself real well and has an excellent work ethic.” His serve developed into a weapon, not the liability it was last year. “I wanted to make my game as solid and smooth as it can be,” he said. He will play Novi’s Roshan Ramachandran, a player he beat for the Kensington Valley Conference title, in the first round, but his second-round draw isn’t so favorable.

JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Howell's James Kauserud grabs the baton from teammate Jonathan Ringlein during a recent practice. The two will be a part of Howell's 1,600-meter relay at the Division I state meet. Seedings don't tell the story 19 local track and field athletes, 7 relay teams to compete at states BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter Seedings at the Michigan High School Athletic Association state track meets are similar to those in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament... they don’t mean a whole lot. One slip can knock the favorite out of the top 10. A dropped baton can relegate a speedy relay team into a group of also-rans. The seeds offer generalities about where an athlete should finish - say in the top 10 or top 5 - but not how well they finish. Howell boys track coach Paul Webster said the seedings are a reference point, nothing more. “Usually the seedings are pretty close, but in the two-week period after regionals (when seedings take place), a lot can happen,” he said. “Some teams peak too soon. Some peak too late. But most teams tend to run faster at states.” If tradition holds, the 19 individual Livingston County athletes and seven relay teams that have qualified will have a substantial impact at the Division I meet at E ast Kentwood and the Division 2 meet at Forest Hills Northern this weekend. Brighton senior high jumper Zach Nichols is the only local No. 1 seed. Pinckney’s Brenden Marcum is the other contender for a title based on seedings, ranking third in the 3,200. Here’s a look at what some of the athletes face: Jumping Zach Nichols, who was sixth at states a year ago, has already cleared a schoolrecord 6 feet, 9 inches early in the season. That height won the title a year ago. He’ll also do the long jump as a SEE TRACK, C2 Howell senior Kevin Luce clears a hurdle during a recent practice.

The Bulldogs just had too many holes to fill, too many strokes to lose, too much inexperience to count on heading into Yet, here they are, enjoying the fruits of their labor - their first trip to the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division I state finals since 2000. Hartland junior Caitlyn McGuire also has qualified for the tournament, set for this weekend at Michigan State University’s Forest Akers East course. The fact that Brighton has qualified isn’t the amazing part. It’s how the Bulldogs have done it, steam-rolling school records with a lineup that includes just one senior, Brooke Oliphant; three sophomores, including Sara Walker and Kelsey Haupt; and Koechli. “At the beginning of the season, we didn’t think we’d be going to states,” said Koechli, Brighton’s* top player. “We are kind of in awe.” Based on their performance at regionais, a post-season school-record score of 351, the Bulldogs are tied with Holt as the fourth seed. Since none of the Bulldogs have competed under the pressure of a state tournament, many of them have differing degrees dreams of a top-five finish. Sophomore Sara Walker says she just wants to have fun. Miller knows the potential for greatness is there. The Bulldogs have proven they can play well on tough courses in big tournaments. They shot a school-record 344 in the post- Kensington Valley Conference meet to win the league crown in May. “This is as good a team as any in the state tournament,” Miller said. “It just depends how the ball rolls that day.” Freshman Vanessa Koechli led C 2 THE L IV IN G S TO N C O M M U N IT Y NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 2006 TRACK FROM Cl Livingston County well represented at states 16th seed, just behind Hartland’s Matt Wagner. “I hope he has a PR (personal record) in the high jump,” Brighton boys track coach Bruce Ritter said. “He hopes to go higher and raise the bar.” With natural progression, Brighton freshman high jumper Jennifer Lane will be one to watch the next three years. She’s a 12th seed, just behind Pinckney senior Adrianne McNally. Toss it Howell’s twosome of Heather Hatter and Brian Pagels are both aiming for school records in the discus. Hatter, seeded 17th, uses track to stay in shape for bas- "ketball, the sport th a t earned her a scholarship to University of Detroit-Mercy. She only began throwing three years ago. “I know my technique is not there,” she said. “I just try to muscle it out there.” Pagels, a fourth seed, took the discus home last summer and came back a different man. ;“He’s gotten a lot more consistent,” coach Webster said. “He Track finals ■ What: Michigan High School Athletic Association track state finals. ■ When: June 3. ■ Where: Division I meet at East Kentwood High; Division II at Grand Rapids Forest Hills Northern High. ■ Division I boys qualifiers: Brighton: Zach Nichols (high jump, long jump).

The Pirates are seeded fourth in the 3,200-me- BULLDOGS FROM Cl Brighton fields talented roster Miller, in his 23rd year coaching at Brighton, said this is the hardest-working group he’s had in 6-8 years. Walker said all the girls are fairly evenly matched behind Koechli, promoting a healthy competition. “We consistently have four scores in the 80s,” she said. “We’ve been real consistent the whole year.” Koechli said the course setup could favor the Bulldogs’ steady games. “The course will suit a lot of the girls on our team, because it’s pretty wide open,” she said. “The biggest thing there is huge greens. We don’t have to be on the pin. We can aim for the middle and two putt (for par).” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@Uvingstoncommunitynew5 .com or at (8 70) 844-2012.

He’s still hoping for a track scholarship, but a back injury after a nasty fall has slowed him down. He won a regional title by skipping one jump to save his energy to clear 12 feet, 10 inches. He finished in a tie for sixth in Division 2 in the pole vault last year by vaulting 13-9. “It’s been rough, but I’m not giving up,” he said of his chances to soar, and place, high. NASHAR FROM Cl Improved Bulldogs look toward states bor Pioneer. Brighton’s No. 3 player Mike Cluskey (20-7) and No. 4 John Hughes (19-7) provide talent and depth few teams can match. Both received byes into the second round, where they face winnable matches against nonseeded players. “We are all close to each other (talent-wise),” Nashar said. “The lower singles guys, they can succeed at states. They can handle the bigger guys.” If one Bulldog gets hot, he could advance to the second day, a first for Brighton. The Bulldogs have finished a schoolrecord ninth in 2004 and in a tie for 10th last season. “We hope we can finish strong inside the top 10, hopefully higher,” Parrish said. “’We just need to get guys to step up.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@livingstoncommunitynews .com or at (810)844-2012. DEEGAN FROM Cl Tull-Steam ahead'for Fowlerville track coach doctors. She’d choke when eating. Or wake up in the middle of the night without the ability to swallow or breathe. Her legs were a step or two slower. Her hands grew less coordinated. In December 2003, severe clonus - the rapid, rhythmic jerking of muscles - sent her to the emergency room. Doctors diagnosed her with Primary Lateral Sclerosis, or PLS, a non-fatal motor neuron disease. About 18 months ago, a Baclofen pump surgically was installed in her body to pump an anti-spasmatic drug directly into her spinal fluid. It has greatly reduced the cramping and fits that almost forced her into a wheelchair full-time. Presents ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Justine Zachos ■ School: Fowlerville High. ■ Local ties: The 18-yearold senior moved from Livonia at age 4. ■ Sports: Soccer and basketball. ■ Top sports moment: Playing on varsity as a freshman with her sister, Katie. | ■ This Zachos season: The midfielder is a three-year starter for the Gladiators. ■ Hobbies: Camping and riding a four-wheeler. ■ Favorite Subject: Spanish. ■ School Involvement: National Honor Society. Students Against Destructive Decisions. She plays trombone in the band. ■ Athlete I admire: International soccer star David Beckham. ■ Academics: 3.8 GPA ■ Future: She will choose between playing soccer at Indiana Tech or Olivet College and study athletic training. Last September, doctors performed the tracheotomy to fend off the choking spells that can be life-threatening. Through it all, Douglass has never missed a practice or a meet. A talk from her son, Nick Douglass, the Fowlerville girls track coach, convinced h er to continue this season. “I’m thankful I did,” she says. Athletic Director Scott Casteele says Debi Douglass means a great deal to Fowlerville track, both its past and present. Besides the state championships she won in the 100, 200 and long jump from 1973-75, she also ran the nation's fastest 200 meters in 1975. Some of Douglass’ seven children have been track stars for the Gladiators, like Nick, Zachariah and 'Tyler Douglass. “The (athletes) don’t even think twice about her having an illness or disability,” Casteele says. “She is just Fowlerville track. It’s so great we have her. She’s going as full-steam ahead as when I started four years ago.” Back at practice, the Gladiators hang on her every word, knowing not many people get the chance to learn the secrets of a national champion. “She seems to be as good as ever,” Fowlerville senior Matt Glover says. “She’s been to the highest level. It worked for her, so we know it will work for us.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@Hvingstoncommunitynews .com or at (810) 844-2012. One time sign up fee of $99 plus 1st month’s fee of $25.

Cl IN BRIEF Intersection project could cost $1 million Improvements to the Orndorf Drive-Library Drive intersection in Brighton could cost more than $1 million. The city’s engineering consultant, Linda Basista of Tetra Tech MPS, told the Brighton City Council last week the estimated project cost is $1.2 million for the more expensive of two options. That option would include upgrades at the intersection and widening Orndorf Drive to include a center left-turn lane. Also included would be a mast arm traffic signal and right-turn lane at West Grand River Avenue. A cheaper option, which would cost $675,000, would not include the mast arm signal or right-turn lane at Grand River Avenue and Orndorf Drive. The project would be financed primarily through a special assessment district of adjacent property owners. The catalyst for the improvements was purchase of the former GM Powertrain building off Orndorf Drive by St. Patrick Catholic Church parish for a new school to house grades 1-8. The church plans to open the new school this fall.

The idea met resistance when first proposed partially because of a lack of details. The PSD now has a defined area and a three-tiered assessment plan to generate about $78,000 a year that would be used to promote downtown Brighton. The city-appointed PSD board will take its recommendations to the council on Thursday, according to Richard Starnes, PSD board chairman and a downtown business owner. “It’s going to benefit the whole town,” Starnes says of the proposal. According to the recommendation, the PSD would be divided into th ree zones - A, B and C - according to proximity to the core of the downtown retail zone (please see map. Page A2). The only majo r change from the boundary lines first proposed is the addition of the Crosswinds Communities development. Main Street Crossing, to Zone A. The additional assessment on properties in those zones would be tiered. The proposal calls for an assessment of 16 cents per square foot in Zone A, 12 cents in Zone B and 8 cents in Zone C. Assessments would be cut in half for second-floor businesses. The assessments would be based on the number (about 130) and size of the buildings in the district, according to the plan. Along with the recommendation to the council, the PSD board also will ask the city for a “possible appropriation in a range of $50,000-$100,000,” according to the PSD plan. The one-time appropriation would be used to jump-start the marketing plan. “It’s a great way to get things moving faster and getting started with a promotional campaign in the fourth quarter (starting in October),” says John Tunis, a City Council member who sits on the PSD board. If approved, the PSD assessment would be included on the property owners’ December tax bills this year, Starnes says. The PSD board also would like the Brighton Downtown Development Authority to kick in an annual amount of as much as $50,000 a year to add to the money generated by the PSD assessment.

The water has breached his boots, soaking his socks. Mosquitoes have swarmed, attacking every spot of open skin. Pausing for a moment. Pope stares out across the rugged landscape and takes a puff on his cigarette. “This isn’t (lake) access,” he says. “It’s a nightmare.” A nightmare that Pope will pay $750 - perhaps more - to maintain. Pope and dozens of his neighbors who live in Green Oak Township’s Pembrooke Crossing subdivision are included in a special assessment district that will be taxed to reconstruct an aging dam on Nichwagh Lake. More than two-thirds of Nichwagh’s lakefi'ont property owners completed a petition in 2002 to establish a legal lake level under Michigan’s Inland Lake Act. After receiving the petition, Livingston County commissioned a feasibility study that concluded the lake’s 50-year-old dam must be reconstructed to establish and maintain a legal lake level of 887 feet above sea level. Replacing the worn-out dam is a $1.4 milUon project that will be paid for by property owners who are considered to have access to Nichwagh Lake. Pope, 41, who moved to Pembrooke Crossing 12 years ago, is included in that assessment. He and his wife, Doreen, will pay $750 over 20 years, plus up to $10 a year for dam maintenance - even though they say they can’t walk to the lake. For Pembrooke property owners like the Popes, who don’t live on the water, the only point of entry to Nichwagh Lake is an undeveloped parcel of land that is more wooded swamp than pathway. On a recent afternoon. Pope tried to reach the lake through that parcel, but turned back because the terrain was too difficult to navigate. “We’ve been living here for 12 years,” Doreen said. “We don’t see (the lake), and we don’t use it.” Disputed property value However, no one - not even Pembrooke Crossing residents - disputes that the dam reconstruction project, and the tax that pays for it, are necessary. The county’s feasibility study revealed that a severe storm could wash out the dam and turn Nichwagh Lake into a virtual mud bog - a catastrophic scenario for property owners who ELIYAHU GURF1NKEL.THE LIVINOSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Don Pope stands in the almost-impenetrable area near his home, which is the dedicated access point to Nichwagh Lake in his neighborhood in Green Oak Township. Pope was included in a new assessment district to pay for a new dam on the lake, even though, according to him, he has no reasonable access to the lake. 'WeVe been living here for 12 years. We don't see (the lake), and we don't use it.' Doreen Pope,a Pembrooke Crossing resident have paid extra to live on or near a lake. “The dam is very old. I don’t know when it’s going to collapse, but we thought it was in everyone’s interest to reconstruct the whole thing,” said Becky Simpson, a water resources coordinator for Livingston County. But opinions vary on whether benefits of the lake reach backlot property owners. Livingston County Commissioner Jack LaBelle, who supported the special assessment district, said the dam reconstruction will benefit everyone who lives near Nichwagh Lake. “I had a very difficult time with this (decision to approve the special assessment district),” LaBelle said. “But 'Keeping the lake increases people's property value - not only on the lakefront, but also for people who have lake access.' Becky Simpson, a water resources coordinator for Livingston County I really think the biggest value Pembrooke people have is the protection of their property values if there were to be a calamity” such as a dam washout. The county drain commissioner’s office estimated Nichwagh’s lakefront property to be 40 percent more valuable than backlot property, but Simpson said backlot owners have just as much stake in the lake’s health as those who live on it. “If the lake went back to being a river, you would have a mud bog in front of people’s houses,” she said.

Bridgette Guzman specializes in pottery, Bakelite and paintings BY USA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Bridgette Guzman is prejudiced against refinishing an object of art. “Refinishing is the worst thing you can do,” says Guzman. “When you restore it, you preserve it. Refinishing means changing it.” Her pet peeve is super glue, which she says is the worst thing you can put on pottery because it only sits on the surface and gives people a false sense that something is fixed. Guzman is an art conservator. She specializes in pottery, Bakelite and paintings. Her Brighton Township business is called 20th Century Antiques. She says she likes to buy antiques more than sell them. It’s not unusual for her to buy broken items. She has been in the restoring business for 15 years. “I show people with an idea how to get the best use of their money by finding what works for them,” says Guzman. “Character needs to be present in old objects.” She says the test for all her work is light, specifically ultraviolet black light and sunlight, which can pick up an imperfection.

DDA board member Scott Griffith says the DDA has not discussed the possibility of contributing to the PSD, adding the DDA is nearing the end of its fiscal year and any funds would have to come out of the 2006-07 budget. A contribution to the PSD also would require the DDA to change its plan, which now calls for fimds to be used only for brick-andmortar projects. Tunis believes strongly in the annual DDA appropriation. “We believe it is an important and necessary participation,” he says. Starnes was originally opposed to a principal shopping district because of what he expected would be its high cost to businesses, but now he’s sold on the idea, as long as the city chips in. “We pay more than our fair share; it’s businesses that’s bearing a big portion of our taxes,” be says. He also believes the PSD will help both commercial and residential properly values. “If your downtown fails, what does it do for the residents?” he says.

TAMMIE GRAVES,THE ANN ARBOR NEWS NICHWAGH FROM A1 Lake access in question for property owners “Keeping the lake increases people’s property value - not only those on the lakefront, but also for people who have lake access. (Pembrooke property owners) paid for (lake access) whether they knew it or not.” Apparently, many Pembrooke residents didn’t know it - and some still don’t. Diana Scott, 45, moved to the subdivision 10 years ago, but says she has never used the lake. The dam can stay or go as far as she’s concerned. “Half the people don’t know that (the lake) is there,” she said. “I don’t think it would change my property value in any way if it’s there or not. I didn’t Imow there was a lake back there even (when I was looking to purchase the property).” Roland Richards, a Coldwell Banker Schweitzer real e sta te agent who works with property in Pembrooke Crossing, disagreed, saying that everyone’s property value would plummet if the lake disappeared. But, he acknowledged, “if the lake wasn’t there, it would affect (lakefront residents) more than the others.” Broken promise The dispute between county officials and Pembrooke properly owners has remained civil, mostly because both sides agree th at Tony Van Oyen, the subdivision’s developer, is largely to blame for the problem. Van Oyen, who died last year, established the subdivision in 1993 and deemed Pembrooke’s empty parcel as lake access in the master deed. So while people who live in the subdivision might not have legitimate access to Nichwagh Lake, they do have legal access. “He didn’t do them any favors,” Simpson said. “He did promise to create a neighborhood association” that would enable Pembrooke property owners to build a boardwalk to the lake on the subdivision’s empty parcel, “but he never lived up to that deal. Now, it’s going to be up to residents in that subdivision to create an association.” Some Pembrooke property owners argued unsuccessfully during a 2004 circuit court hearing th a t they should be excluded from the special a s sessment district, but Circuit Judge Stanley Latreille ruled they do indeed have legal access to Nichwagh Lake. “The court was fully aware of the nature and quality of the access point for Pembrooke, and took that into account,” said attorney Timothy Perrone, who represented the county. But Van Oyen’s original intentions for Pembrooke’s empty parcel outweighed the property’s poor lake access, he said. “From a legal point, th e re ’s nothing we can do about it,” said Richard Conaway, 65, who moved to the subdivision from Livonia in 1995. “We still have a right to go back and take it to court, but that seems pretty hopeless. “The lake, I agree, should be there. It’s nice. I appreciate any body of water. But unless a lot of time, effort and money are put into that piece of property, th at’s the only way I see we’ll benefit because of where we’re located.” Decreased tax burden Even Reid Schornack, who owns a lakefront parcel in Pembrooke, sympathizes with the backlot owners and says he argued for their cause with the county drain commissioner. At least one of his reasons was self-motivated, though. Schornack owns the parcel next to Pembrooke’s supposed lake access point and worries that some people might consider his yard to be their true access to the lake. “I’m in favor of replacing the dam, but I’m not in favor of the re s t of the subdivision being included,” he said. “They’re allowed to go through the wetlands, and they can walk all they want to. Good luck. But I’m concerned I’m going to have to put a fence up.” Although backlot Pembrooke residents could not re move themselves from the special asse ssment district, the county did cut them a break, chopping th eir burden down to $750 over 20 years. Lakefront property owners will pay $11,000 during the same period. “Their access is poor. Nobody can dispute th at,” County Drain Commissioner Brian Jonckheere said. “But th a t’s why we lowered their a s s e ss ment.” Still, any price is too high for the Popes, who keep a boat stored in their garage and say Nichwagh Lake is useless to them. “I don’t care what the lakefront people are paying,” Don Pope said. “I don’t live on the lakefront, and I don’t have their benefits - $2 a year is too much.” Don Pope’s father, Otto, also owns property in the subdivision. Like his son, Otto Pope says ne ith e r the court nor the county seem to fully un d erstan d how limited his lake access is. But he jokingly suggests the m isunderstanding might have been caused by a simple clerical error. “They’re taxing us for something we have absolutely no access to,” Otto said. “It’s black and white on this map. I think (the county) used whiteout on some of their m aps.” James Briggs can be reached at 810- 844-2003. IN BRIEF GV Interiors makes its move After two years of planning, the new CW Interiors opened this week at its new location at the corner of Main and Hyne in downtown Brighton. The business will take up the first floor of downtown’s newest building, the two-story Alexander Place. The two-story building totals 14,000 square feet. CW Interiors handles decorative furniture, lighting, artwork, mirrors, floral arrangements and other items for the home. Owner Linda Botka has been spending the last several weeks making the move from h er former location at 434 W. Main St. to the considerably larger new quarters. Linda and Don Botka bought the property from Mike Grass, owner of The Music Man. His business, and the adjacent Portraits by Alex, were destroyed in a 1999 fire, leaving the site a vacant until the Botkas bought it and made the investment in a new building. Plans are to put a restaurant called “Above Main” on the second floor of the building.

Area chamber leads development efforts Howell group among 5 in state project to build communities From News staff reports The Howell Area Chamber of Commerce has been selected by the Michigan Chamber Foundation as one of five organizations across the state to lead community efforts in the Building Competitive Communities project. The effort seeks to make the Howell area a more competitive place to live and work. The Howell chamber was selected to examine economic development and land use opportunities because of its vision for economic development in Livingston County and its support from local and re gional governments, economic development agencies and private developers. “We are honored to have been selected to participate,” said Chamber President Pat Convery. “The chamber’s mission is to be a catalyst for a vital business environment and an exceptional community, and we are dedicated to serving as a strong advocate for business and at the forefront of community improvement,” Convery said. “Michigan’s business community is in a unique position to play a significant role in helping regions to restructure priorities that make better use of resources and become more competitive,” said Jim Barrett, president of the Michigan Chamber Foundation. The Building Competitive Communities project is an opportunity for communities to involve both the private and public sectors in understanding competitive land use strategies, developing a community vision and adopting performance measures for cooperative planning. The project will focus on how to align county and municipal master plans and restructure priorities to attract new economic development, conserve natural re sources and avoid duplication of public services in the region. The Howell chamber will begin coordinating resources and stakeholders in the coming weeks, with the initiative set to launch this fall, Convery said.

When the company she worked for was sold, Guzman says, “I decided to follow my bliss.” They moved to Indianapolis in 1994, where she pursued restoration. She met an antiques dealer, for whom she did repair work and eventually restoration. Guzman says that she loved Indianapolis because “It didn’t feel like a big city and the people were very easygoing.” After spending the better part of a decade there, she and her husband divorced, and Guzman decided she wanted to be closer to friends and family and moved back to the Brighton area. “Brighton is a hopeful place to be,” says Guzman. “People come here with new ideas and they execute them.” “Collectors think they have to go to big cities to find people who do this,” she says. “My specialties are art pottery, all things made of fired clay, fine art-oil and acrylic, metal patination, and anything that has a finished surface like enamel and some furniture.” Guzman has been working with Glen Rairigh, owner and supervising auctioneer of Americana Auctions near Lansing. “Bridgette saw that we were doing upscale auctions and would handle the finer art items, and it was a super match for us,” says Rairigh. “It’s a service to my buyers to have her.

So, on the spur of the moment, these Ann Arbor senior citizens jumped in their car and headed, not south, but northwest to Hell, where they joined thousands of others in commemorating June 6, 2006, or 6-6-06, in this Putnam Township hamlet “Isn’t this a hoot?” Ann Orlandea said as she watched a couple hundred people wait in line around noon to buy Hell T-shirts marking a date that will occur only once in a lifetime. “They should charge admission just to peoplewatch.” The number 666 is most often associated with Satan and some around the world feared Tliesday’s coming would bring with it the apocalypse. But John Colone, whose alter-ego Odum Plenty is Hell’s unofficial mayor, decided to throw a party in town. It was a popular idea. “I can’t believe this whole thing,” said Carol Hetzel of TlDy, who visited Hell with her husband Warren, for the first time. “I have the feeling people like to go to Hell.” Though Colone’s idea was just as spur-of-the-moment as many people’s trips to Hell on 'Ihesday, it garnered international media attention. It also was a banner business day for Hell’s three businesses, Colone’s Screams Ice Cream and Halloween store, Mike “Smit- Dave and Kat Mourgothe wait in line to get into Screams Ice Cream to see all the 666 items and Kat notices that the heat was getting to Pixiecorpse, their dog.

I bet we’re selling $1,000 worth of T-shirts every 10-15 minutes.” Dressed in shirt and tie, Brian Petrovich, a pharmaceutical sales representative firrm Ann Arbor, spent his lunch hour in line just to get one. “It’s very unique,” he said. “We’ll never see this again the rest of our lives.” Each shirt came with a signed certificate verifying it as authentic Hell merchandbe. Colone’s Web site hell2u.com registered 2,000 orders in a seven-hour period during the weekend, he said. ‘Isn’t it amazing?” Colone asked. “Now it’s abeautiMdayandwehad no idea this would be this big. It’s just snowballed.” The highway to Hell, commonly known as Patterson Lake Road or County Road D-32, was lined with cars and people strolling all day long. “I wanted to write a fiiend to tell him I finally made it to Hell, but I couldn’t even buy a postcard,” Warren Hetzel said. “This crowd is hell.” A pastor from Gateway Anabaptist Church in Monroe took advantage of the event to preach Crowds line the street in Hell to express various opinions during the 6-6-06 celebration. the gospel. Two young visitors good-naturedly responded with signs that read, “Hell’s Hot; You’re Not,” and “The Devil Keeps The Church in Business.” While it drew Hell’s usual crowd of motorcycle and hearse enthusiasts, the event also attracted many couples and families, some whose children came dressed in Halloween costumes. Live music, food, songs from Creepy Clyde and marriages in Hell’s new Wedding Chapel also marked the day. Leanne Smith can be reached at l5mith@livingstoncommunitynew5. com or at 810-844-2011. Howell loses students Geography of district blamed for loss under Schools of Choice plan From News staff reports Since the Howell Public Schools decided to participate in the Schools of Choice pro^am some three years ago, its fortunes have been less than stellar: It has lost more students than it gained. “We have a negative fector (in the program),” said Associate Superintendent Mck Terres. Terres explained that the situation - 261 students leaving and only 58 coming in - is due p rirn ^ y to geography “Much of it has to do with our boundaries,” he said. “At 167 square miles, we are the largest district in the county, extending to the county line in toe north, into Brighton Township in toe east, Hamburg and Putnam townships in toe south and Iosco and Hancfy townships in toe west. “Often, the school closest to a student living in the Howell district is just beyond the boundary line in a neighboring district,” Terres said. “Ear example, my grandson has a Brighton address, but lives seven miles fi’om toe Howell school that he’d attend. He’s closer to either a Hartland or a Brighton school.” This year, in an effort to attract more School of Choice students to toe district, Howell has initiated toe program’s “unlimited” option, meaning that it can accept applications and make determinations immediately, rather than waiting until two weeks before school begins as has been toe case. Guarantees are given concerning placement at toe grade level, but not at a specific school. Specific school assignments are made two weeks before toe first day of school. “We may be in a negative situation now, with regard to Schools of Choice,” said Superintendent Chuck Breiner, “but that’s all going to change when parents want their children to go to Parker High School.” That new school is now under construction and will be completed by toe fall of 2007.

The Michigan Court of Appeals denied the same request, saying in an opinion filed May 30 that Couchman acted outside his authority as a school superintendent when he interfered in Deputy Jason Baker’s investigations into criminal incidents at the high school. Baker became the district’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. The Supreme Court can review the case now or send it back to Livingston County Circuit Court and issue an opinion following trial there, said Couchman’s attorney, Timothy J. Mullins of Troy. “What’s disappointing to us, and is an issue that was never really reviewed by the appeals court, is that Mike didn’t transfer the guy and he didn’t ask for him to be transferred,” Mullins said. “The problems started when Baker filed a complaint against Mike.” 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. Circuit Court Judge David Reader dismissed the alleged WPA violations because Baker is an employee of the sheriff’s department and not the school district. Reader also dismissed the district from Baker’s allegations of interference with his employment, but did not release Couchman from this claim. Couchman appealed to the state court on the grounds that as an executive of a public entity he is entitled to absolute governmental immunity from litigation arising from his job duties. The court agreed Couchman had the authority to supervise Baker’s activities as school liaison officer and express concerns about his job performance to Baker’s superiors and the school board. But it said Couchman was wrong to prevent Baker from contacting witnesses and interfering with the collection of evidence in his criminal investigations at the high school. “They made it pretty clear that what Mike Couchman did was interfere with criminal investigations,” said Baker’s attorney, Joshua Fields of Pinckney. This ruling could have a negative impact on the entire school liaison program, Mullins said. “If the district can’t speak up about how an officer operates even though he’s in the district, then the district will say forget this program,” Mullins said. “That would be unfortunate.” A dissenting opinion from Judge Peter D. O’Connell said the case “sets an abominable precedent” because it blurs the boundaries of a school superintendent’s personal liability. “Now superintendents must second-guess how their administrative decisions may peripherally cause damage to subordinates and third parties,” O’Connell wrote. “I disagree with any decision that requires superintendents to protect themselves by placing the concerns of others over the interests of the children in their charge.” 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 county Prosecutor David Morse, who said there was no legal basis to support them. Following mediation, suggested by Morse, Baker was removed fi-om 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 alleges he lost career opportunities and employment benefits and suffered mental and emotional distress and a loss of reputation in the community. His original request asks he be paid more than $500,000 in damages. Couchman will retire from Pinckney on June 30. Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@livingstoncommunitynews. com or 810-844-2011. Builder brieft kids on safety Students warned on construction dangers BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News Special Writer Nothing attracts a child’s attention quite like dirt mounds, construction vehicles and the yellow tape on a construction site. With that in mind, more than 300 students at Smith Elementary in Pbwlerville were introduced to the dangers inherent with their upcoming building renovations. “We wanted to make the kids aware of the hazards at the school over the summer,” said Ted Ryskamp, Clark Construction director for the Fowlerville Community Schools. “The main construction at Smith is just starting.” Work at Smith will include an addition to the principal’s office, painting and new flooring throughout the school, new windows, lighting and a new clock system. Exterior work will include a new walking track and an expanded bus area. Elsewhere, work will continue this summer on the high school. The 25-minute presentation included an instructional video telling first- and second-graders to stay away from holes, heavy equipment and objects that can cut them, said I^skamp. Students were also given construction site coloring books and plastic hard hats. According to first-grade teacher Jennifer Shanefelt, students were veiy receptive. Her students, 23 in all, spoke about the noises trucks make when they back up as well as the bright color schemes foimd on construction sites - orange cones, yellow tape and red caution signs. “Red means stop. Nothing on a construction site is green because they don’t want you to go in,” Shanefelt said. “They made sure the little ones knew what the colors meant. Elven for the little ones who can’t read, they can stay safe. Fortunately, all of my kids can read,” she said. As students return to the school over the summer, with or without parents, she is hopeful they will remember the presentation, which included tips on how to stop other Mds from being injured. Smith Principal Jim Kitchen applauded the presenters and the program, which was completely funded by Clark. = fiiE LiYimisms = COMMUNITY N EW S Published each Friday.

Brighton paid for the burial of the overhead lines in the municipal complex are a as part of the reconstruction and improvement project. The cost, more than $500,000, was shared by the city and the Downtown Development Authority. DTE has refused to even discuss helping to pay for it, according to city officials. The city had hoped to get DTE to pay a portion by citing a Michigan Court of Appeals ruling in favor of the city of Taylor, which as p art of a stre e t reconstruction project had told DTE to bury its overhead lines at its own expense. The city’s demand was backed up in circuit court and affirmed by the Court of Appeals. But the state Supreme Court last week overruled the appellate court, saying Brighton lacked the authority to require DTE to pay for the cost ofburying the lines. Mayor Steve Monet said the se tback would not be a hard financial blow to the city. “We had planned for possibly losing the case,” he said. Suit dropped against Superior Sanitation The city has dropped a lawsuit against Superior Sanitation that charged that the company’s transfer station at 9830 E. Grand River Ave. was being used to illegally dispose of garbage and store junk vehicles and was in violation of other ordinances. City Attorney Paul Burns said Brighton dropped the suit, filed in 2003, because owner Patrick Conely has cleaned up the property. Conely's attorney, Douglas McKinney, has consistently denied the city's allegations. String Orchestra's concert is Monday The Brighton String Orchestra’s annual spring concert is Monday at 7 p.m. at the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts. It will be cofounder Karin Pierson’s farewell performance. Weston Hosier, an award-winning musician from Eastern Michigan University, will be taking over the orchestra’s program. The BSO has 40 students of alt ages and presents two concerts a year, one in December and the one in June. Pierson cofounded the group with Bonnie Riutta, former Brighton Area Schools assistant superintendent of curriculum, in 2003. The spring concert is free, but donations are appreciated. For more information, contact Hosier at 734-255-8453. Brighton Township Petitions for Prine, Harmon recalls OK'd Former Brighton Township Trustee Ken Mlkinson’s petitions for the recall of Supervisor H.E. “Bud” Prine and Treasurer Geri Harmon were approved May 26 by the Livingston County Elections Commission. Wilkinson now has 180 days to collect 1,823 validated signatures. He said he hopes to have the petitions submitted by Aug. 4, in time to have the recall elections on the November ballot. Wilkinson said he seeking a recall because of irregularities and illegalities he argues have occurred while Prine and Harmon have been in office. The petitions accuse Prine of taking the month of March off as vacation time when state statute requires the supervisor to be present for township Board of Review meetings and to prepare the budget, and of not informing board members of a state Treasury Department letter asking him and Harmon to appear in Lansing to explain why personal property taxes were not being ffistributed. Wilkinson accuses Harmon of failing to disburse partial personal property tax payments to other local governments as required by law, creating a hostile workplace, failing to have former deputy treasurer Donna Shollack sworn in as deputy treasurer as required by statute and wrongfully requesting a $2,000 stipend for collecting school taxes. Wilkinson lost to Prine in the 2004 supervisor’s race, and Prine calls the recall bid “sour grapes.” Wilkinson says he is not interested in a full, four-year position as supervisor but would probably run for the last two years of Prine’s term should Prine be recalled. Howell schools Meeting to discuss high school athletics Howell Public Schools will have a public meeting to discuss guidelines for the creation of distinct athletic programs at Howell and Parker high schools in preparation for Parker’s opening in the fall of 2007. The meeting is June 20 at 7 p.m. in the Howell High cafeteria. This meeting was originally publicized as a discussion of high school enrollment boundaries for the 2007-08 school year, but those boundaries have already been set by the school board’s Redistricting Committee and approved by the board. The boundaries stipulate that students attending Highlander Way Middle School will attend Howell High and those at Three Fires Middle School will attend Parker, according to district officials. Livingston County United Way board OKs budget The Livingston County United Way board of directors has approved its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The budget reflects a 5.25 percent increase in funding to 52 separate health and human service programs that are provided through 30 Livingston County United Way partner agencies. There are six basic areas of programs that will receive funding for the 2006-07 year: strengthening families; emergency services; youth services; assisting citizens with disabilities; community wellness and healthy aging; and community initiatives. Pinckney Reception to honor retiring school chief An informal public reception honoring retiring Pinckney Community Schools Superintendent Mike Couchman is Monday from 3 to 7 p.m. in the media center at Pathfinder School, 2100 E. M-36. Couchman, 60, is retiring June 30 after 10 years with the district. He will stay on through Aug. 18 to help the new superintendent, Dan Danoslg^, transition into the job. Danosl^, 55, superintendent of Harper Woods Public Schools, starts in Pinckney on July 1. Former Student faces sentence in gun case A former Pinckney High School student will be sentenced July 13 after pleading guilty to first-degree home invasion, receiving and concealing firearms, carrying concealed weapons and violation of a weapon-free school zone. The first charge is a 20-year felony and the others are five-year felonies.. Rush Dominic Richards, who was expelled from the school after the incident, entered his plea at a pretrial hearing last week in Livingston County Circuit Court. Police say Richards and another Pinckney student were caught attempting to sell stolen guns from the trunk of a car in the high school parking lot. The other student, a 16- year-old, is being charged in juvenile court. Richards’ lawyer applied for Holmes Youthful Training Act status; if granted, Richards’ criminal record would be expunged if he completes probation. He remains free on $50,000 personal bond pending sentencing. Natural G ran ite Pre-fabricated Counter Tops ^ ^ Kitchen Countertops 25 1/2” x 84” I with 1 1/2 “ Fuli Bull Nose Edges. ^ j E !

Hi-tech firms look fo r more GLIMA chapter to recruit others BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter High-tech businesses in Livingston County are teaming up to make sure the area is not overlooked as state and regional leaders push for more businesses of the like in southeast Michigan. Soon, the county will have its own chapter of the Great Lakes Interactive Marketing Association, or GLIMA, which operates under the umbrella of Automation Alley, a consortium of high-tech southeast Michigan firms dedicated to promoting the region “as a global center for technology” since 2001. Being interfaced with Automation Alley will enable the local GLIMA chapter to tap into the consortium’s vast resources, says Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Pam McConeghy. “Automation (Alley) works with large businesses on an international level, and GLIMA with small businesses,” McConeghy explains. The local GLIMA chapter had its launch late last mon& with a meeting at the Livingston Regional M-TEC headquarters in Howell Township. McConeghy says about 20 people were present. “Our local chamber members have been excited about (starting the chapter),” McConeghy says. “It’s an opportunity for people to gather together and network and accomplish great things.” Phil Bertolini, GLIMA’s statewide director, says the session went extremely well. “The response was fantastic,” he said. Bertolini says Livingston Coimly has a “growing tech sector” that will benefit fi’om having a local chapter. “There’s a lot of energy and interest out there,” he says. In addition to attracting tech industries to the area, joining GLIMA “brings the tech professions (in Livingston County) together and gets them plugged into the larger statewide network,” Bertolini says. Jeff Stanislow, a former statewide president of GLIMA, will assist the Brighton Chamber in building the,GLIMA chapter. “There hasn’t been a ‘tech’ association in the area, and (GLIMA) has a lot of opportunities for members to encourage technology in the area,” says Stanislow, owner of Brighton Townshipbased Motor City Interactive, an Internet marketing and advertising agency. “Eventually, we hope to attract high-tech companies to the area, and as we create new jobs in the area for people that have been laid off, we can offer the program and training,” McConeghy says. Automation Alley is providing $5,000 in seed money toward formation of the chapter. “1 think the strategic location of Livingston Counly is the best in the state and makes it a great place to relocate,” Stanislow says. He should know. Stanislow moved his offices ft’om a suburban Detroit location to Brighton a couple of years ago because - with 1-96 and US-23 running through it - the county is within two hours’ driving time to all of the state’s major urban areas. “In the long term, it’ll put Livingston County on the map as having a tech base. Coming on with one voice is helpful in attracting people here.” The cost for businesses to join GLIMA is $75 per year, and 100 percent of the amount remains entirely with the local chapter. McConeghy also is encouraging college and even high school students to join GLIMA. “It puts them in contact with Automation Alley, and is a great way to get jobs and internships,” she says. The student fee is $25. McConeghy says Livingston County, like the rest of Michigan, is too dependent on the auto industry and needs to diversify. She cites GLIMA and Automation Alley is a way to accomplish that diversification. McConeghy says after the GLIMA chapter is up and running, a series of up to five forums per year will be scheduled. In the meantime, she is in the process of forming an organizing committee which ^ then appoint a board of directors. NO INTEREST A AVAILABLE AT D No interest.

Four G2 employees will work in the 2,600-square-foot office a t 9436 Maltby Road. Like G2’s TYoy headquarters and its suburban Chicago location, the new office will provide geotechnical, environmental and construction engineering services for retail, residential, municipal and industrial construction projects, says Mark Smolinski, a G2 founding principal. Future Brighton expansion plans include adding staff and a fullservice laboratory for testing soils and concrete, he says. Dave Wanlass, a geotechnical project manager who lives in Howell, will oversee Brighton operations. Others working there include Chris Nicol, a project manager who lives in Milford; Lorraine Sprague, an environmental scientist who lives in Fenton; and Ken Nowak, a senior technician living in Howell. Deadline today for wage, benefit survey Livingston County companies that want to participate in a wage-and-benefit survey coordinated by the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, only have today left to make the deadline. The chamber conducts the survey every other year to provide up-to-date information to the local business community about wages and benefits for a wide range of jobs, says Pat Convery, chamber president. She said the survey typically includes about 80 different companies, covering as many as 160 specific jobs ranging from machinists and receptionists to engineers and executives. This year’s survey is the eighth conducted over the past 14 years. Working with the chamber is the Economics Development Council of Livingston County and the Michigan Works! Livingston Service Center. Completed surveys are submitted to the American Society of Employers for analysis, so no one locally sees the raw data fi'om individual companies. She said the chamber expects to have results to share with the community sometime in July. In addition to basic wageand- benefit data, the survey also compiles information on workforce issues such as turnover rates, barriers to recruiting new employees and workforce education levels. Convery said many of the county’s larger employers make extensive use of the data in the survey. All companies that complete the survey receive a copy of the complete results at no charge. Others can buy the survey for $175. Details: Call the chamber at 517-546-3920. b y .

'k special person' Schoolkids raise funds for young leukemia patient BY LISA CAROLIN News S taff Reporter Students at Brighton’s Lindbom Elementary School enjoyed Field Day as part of their end-of-theschool- year celebration last week, and some of the day’s activities centered around a special guest: 9-year-old Alan Kasten. Students signed a T-shirt for him and some sold snacks to raise money for him. Alan was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia called JMML - juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia - in Decern-. ber. It is a chronic form of the disease and makes up 2 percent of all childhood leukemia. JMML Is usually found only in children under the age of 4 and Alan was 8 when he was diagnosed, which makes his case unusual. He has been home schooled since the diagnosis. Alan received a bone marrow transplant at the end of April from his 2- year-old sister Alivia, who was a perfect match. “Everything you can imagine has changed in our lives,” says his dad, Alan Kasten II, “especially our outlook. Some things just aren’t that important, and we’ve learned that from a 9-year-old boy.” The Kastens live in Brighton Township, where Alan II has worked as a youth minister at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church. He has started to work again part time, but he and his wife, Sally, had been making taking care of Alan their full-time job. They’re other two children are Alex, 7, who has Down syndrome and is in a cognitively impaired class at Lindbom, and Allie, 3. “Alan is so independent now,” says his dad. “Nothing scares him now that he’s gone through all the treatment.” Alan is in remission after being treated at the University of Michigan, where he continues to receive blood and platelet transfusions and sees his doctor twice a week. His dad says doctors won’t give the family a prognosis because most children who have the rare form of leukemia don’t live to be 9, but he says, SEE LEUKEMIA, 82 Andrea Lussier, 10, signs a T-shirt that is going to be presented to Alan Kasten at the end o f the day.

RICK FITZGERALD The Livingston Community News Sculptures are good for Brighton, good for us all You need to take a walk around downtown Brighton. Not just a walk from your parking spot to your favorite • restaurant; not just a walk from one side of West Main Street to the other. Take a walk around the Mill Pond, through the Hyne Street walkway, down to North Street and all the way over, across Grand River Avenue, to East Street. You’ve got to see the sculptures. All the sculptures. The 28 pieces of artwork that were dedicated last weekend by the Brighton Mayor’s Commission on Art in Public Places, have changed the face of downtown Brighton. They’ve changed the feel of the city’s downtown business district. And in the interest of full disclose, I need to tell you that I am a member of the Mayor’s Commission on Art in Public Places. I joined the panel earlier this year and have had absolutely nothing to do with the placement or the selection of art.After last weekend’s dedication, as I walked around with several others to see the art of the Brighton Biennial, I thought about how the simple act of placing art where everyone can see it - and criticize it - has changed the way we and others view the community. This is not the same Brighton it was a few years ago. Former Mayor Kate Lawrence said it best when she said it’s just one more way the community has changed. But she was quick to point out that the community has been changing every day since the first settlers decided it would be a good place to live. Artist Norma Gray said when she first moved to the area in the early 1990s, she had to head into Ann Arbor or over to Birm- ''' ingham to take an art class or even talk with other artists. Now there is an active group of artists in the Brighton Art Guild. The group staged its own annual show. Kaleidoscope, in conjunction with the Brighton Biennial. When the Brighton Art Festival takes over downtown come August, the sculpture exhibit will add a new dimension for all those who come downtown. Brighton has something new to brag about, too. Ann Arbor may have several pieces of permanent public art, but even that university town, which seems to be oozing with creativity at times, doesn’t have an exhibit like this. And much of the credit goes to John Sauve, the curator of the Brighton Biennial. John almost single-handedly arranged for the art to be put on display for the next two years. He also installed most of the sculptures and donated two pieces of public art. Now, as I take my lunchtime walks around the downtown area, I must say that I look at things a little differently. Now, when I see the blank wall of a building, I see space for more art.T hanks, John, for giving all of us a new way to look at this community.

The main events June 16 are a Country Western Jamboree featuring Michael Harding, a 2003 Academy of Country Music nominee for Best New Vocalist of the Year, and a classic rock band concert and fireworks display. June 17’s lineup includes an arts and crafts show, business expo, classic car and antique fire truck shows and entertainment from the Bonnie Rockets Band oldies concert, HERO of Comedy Show, Motown Review and magic and Vaudeville acts from The Josh & Roy Show. Family F\m Fest continues Sunday with a special F ather’s Day Breakfast served by Hamburg VFW Post No. 1224 and a motorcycle show. The day concludes with a 12-hour Battle of the Bands featuring 17 mostly local bands. With the exception of the rides, which are open every day. everything at Family Flin Fest the entire weekend is free, Hardesty said. “We don’t want to nickel-anddime people to death,” Hardesty said during a January event announcing Family Fbn Fest. “We just want to raise money to enhance recreational opportunities here and plan a festival that will put us on the map.” The events are free because they are being sponsored by local groups and businesses. HERO will make its money from the rides and concessions and parking donations, Hardesty said. FYinds raised this year will support the Hamburg R/C Flyers, a group of radio-controlled airplane enthusiasts working on a field and runway expansion in Bennett Park, and the Dennis Morgan Enabling Garden, a barrier-free garden of planting surfaces and containers to make gardening easier for senior citizens and people with disabilities. The garden is named for the former township supervisor who died in office in 1998.

The entire school has been so positive and upbeat.” Alex doesn’t understand everything about Alan’s condition, but says, “My brother has boo-boos all over his body. He is sick.” Alex’s classmate, Mike Smith, says, “We’ve been selling pops and slushies to give Alan money. I want to help my fiiend.” Brighton Commerce Bank has set up a fund for Alan for donations from the community. Alan’s dad says the bone marrow transplant alone cost $125,000. The church has continued to provide the family with health insurance, and they also applied for Children’s Special Health insurance, which is provided based on the particular disease, and is paying some of what the other insurance doesn’t pay. “The school (Lindbom) and our church have been incredible,” says Alan’s mom. “You learn to be a lot more compassionate.” “I’ve never seen it on this level,” says Alan’s dad. “We’re getting support from people we don’t even know, people who feel like this could be their child.” On the playground, Alex was thrilled to have his brother with him and stayed close to him. Alan slid down the sliding board with gusto. “I feel great!” he says. “It’s been scary, and I missed my sisters and brother and my dog when I was in the hospital. All I want to do is play baseball with Alex.” Alan blended in with the rest of the children, with the exception of his protective mask and his Relay for Life T-shirt with the words, “Had it, fought it, survived it.” Lisa Carolin c an be re a ch ed a t lc a ro iin@ liv in g s to n com m u n ityn ew s -com o r a t 8 1 0 -8 4 4 -2 0 1 0 .

Main St. in downtown Brighton (810) 220-1300 _ THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 2006 B3 T ■■ > Tracy Baumgart Katrin Bosch Nicole Phibbs Girl Scouts win elite award 3 special projects lead to Gold Awards From News staff reports Three Livingston County Girl Scouts have earned their Gold Awards, the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn for her significant leadership and dedication to community service. The Gold Award is an elite award earned by only 3 percent of Girl Scouts, ages 14 to 17, across the country each year. They were among 21 Huron Valley Council scouts honored last month. Local Girl Scout Gold Award recipients were: ■ ITacy Baumgart of Brighton, the daughter of Jim and Cathy Baumgart. TTacy organized an event where elementary-aged kids learned about dogs and cats &Dm a variety of sources. The children made fleece blankets, tasted Puppy Chow, ran around an obstacle course and then watched dogs run another obstacle course. TVacy’s goal was to collect animal- related items for Last Chance Animal Rescue. She accomplished this by asking the children to bring in an animal-related item rather than paying an admission fee. The aniinals benefited greatly and the volunteers who t ^ e care of the animals were thankful for the additional items and enhanced awareness of their purpose. “I now realize how much I can accomplish in my life when I have the resources available,” 'iracy said. ■ Katrin Bosch of Brighton, the daughter of Walter and Gisela Bosch. Katrin organized the Mission, Arts & Music Festival that included an art gallery of works from local artists, a day and evening music concert, and crafts for kids of all ages, which included sewing Kuddles for Kids bears. All proceeds fi’om the festival were used by First Presbyterian Church of Brighton to support a mission trip to Guatemala. The mission trip involves taking Bibles, supplies for cabinetry, medical and dentistry supplies, and other items to benefit the Guatemala region. The Kuddles for Kds bears ^ be given to local emergency centers to hand out to children involved in accidents. The festival was such a success that it was repeated again this year, “I am amazed at the support I got and I am very proud of myself,” said Katrin. ■ Nicole Phibbs of Fowlerville, the daughter of Kevin and Bonnie Phibbs. Nicole revamped the courtyard at the Fowlerville High School by putting in a bird sanctuary. She pulled weeds, put down black sheeting to prevent weeds from regrowing, and trimmed bushes and trees. Then she planted flowers that would attract birds and laid landscaping rocks down for low maintenance. She also put in five bird feeders and two gazing balls. “The time and effort put into my project was well worth the self-satisfaction I received upon completion,” said Nicole.

Students in various grade levels along with students in the magnet gifted-and-talented program divided into teams at the beginning of the year and chose countries to represent. One could walk from Lithuania to Madagascar in a matter of seconds. “You can find dangerous animals like scorpions, crocodiles and Komodo dragons on Madagascar,” said student Matt Cromer, who said he was just begging to make it his country after watching the movie with the same name. “We were looking on a map for /;ool places and that’s how we picked it,” said teammate Bailey Bishop. The project was called Global Village, and students in grades 2-5 had been investigating their chosen countries for an hour a week since January. The students were in classes headed by teachers Lisa Szajnecki, Sarah Tchoryk, Noble Newman and Tracy Bake. “We wanted to focus on culture, and let the students create their own villages,” said Baker. “The students gathered information on currency, geography, customs and government,” said Szajnecki. Alex Ford was on the team representing both North and South Korea. “My dad likes to travel and collect money from all over the world,” said Ford, referring to the examples of currency from both Koreas. Not far from the Koreas, Alex Kochan and Alec Brennan sat in their version of Sweden complete with maps, flags, a coat of arms and Swedish cookies. “Did you know that the first disposable diaper was invented in Sweden in 1942 and they invented Yahoo in 1997?” Brennan asked. The magnet program, which is aimed at students in the top 2 percent of ability, is housed at Hornung and Spencer elementary schools. There are openings for next school year, and interested parents can call 810-299-4010 for more information. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PI5EL1 A ,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Students from Hornung Elementary School created a global village setting in their ciassrooms. Focusing on the nation Latvia are, from le ft, Colin Dean, 10; Harrison Kelbert, 9; Trevor Hendy, 8; and Christine Forward, 10. Pinckney movie nights help create memories Merchants bring back popular free event BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Costs keep rising and money gets tighter and tighter, but there is a summer place where the family entertainment is free. It’s downtown Pinckney at Movies in the Square. The free Friday night flicks resume at dusk June 16 in the Putnam Township Square on Main Street. Outdoor movies were shown in town for many summers in years past. The tradition was revived by the Pinckney Merchants Association three years ago. “People who lived here then still remember coming to those movies,” said Deby Henneman, merchants association president and owner of Carousel Floral & Gifts, 105 E. Main St. “We’re building those same memories today with our neighbors and the people we know and love.” Movies are shown on a screen made from a large white dropcloth suspended between two trees. Families are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, blankets and insect repellent. Popcorn is sold for 50 cents a bag, but people can bring snacks. The group has scaled the event back to twice a month this Movies in the square ■ What: Free family-oriented movies (nothing rated over PG-13). ■ When: Twice a month on Friday nights at dusk (9-9:30 p.m.), weather permitting. ■ Where: Downtown Pinckney in the Putnam Township Square. ■ Seating and snacks: Bring your own lawn chairs or blankets. Pinckney Merchants Association sells popcorn for 50 cents, or bring your own. The movies: ■ June 16:"Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit." ■ June 30:"Hoodwinked." ■ July 14:"Nanny McPhee." ■ July 28:"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." ■ Aug. 11:"Madagascar." ■ Aug.25:"Chicken Little." June, July and August. Each movie costs about $300 to show because of licensing and copyright rules, Henneman said. They are free to the public because they are sponsored by the merchants, she said. “All the Pinckney merchants have a big sense of community,” Henneman said. There will be a mix of animated and live-action films this year. All are family fiiendly with a rating no higher than PG-13. The merchants association welcomes contributions from private citizens. Donation jars will be set up during the movies for those who want to contribute, Henneman said. To find out more, contact any downtown Pinckney merchant. Arbor Opera Theater presents...

D O THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 2006 Mini Mall big in lessons on business Students learn about supply and demand, profit and loss BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Oh, the choices. A relaxing massage from Tyler Smar’s Totally Trendy Spa? A hand-carved and decorated pine walking stick from Ty B o o g a ^ ’s The Woods Out Back? Flowers for $1 at Austin Hunt’s Greenhouse? Custom-Made Bracelets by Nolan Ronayne? The good news for customers was that all those shops were in Country Elementary School’s cafeteria. The rough going for the young entrepreneurs was that they had to compete faceto- face to get their doUars. Country’s “Mini Mall,” on June 1 this year, is the final exam of sorts in an annual lesson on economics for all fourthgraders and some thirdgraders. They learn supply and demand, profit and loss and investing, and then they open up shop to try the concepts out. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Each student drafts a business proposal that includes a budget for suppUes and start-up costs and takes it to the classroom “bank” for a loan. They use the play currency to rent space in the mall, and to pay their parents for reimbursement on supplies and for renting a room in the house for production and assembly, transportation and labor. “Nothing is actually free,” said 9-year-old ly, who found free pine branches for his 15 walking sticks in the woods behind his house, but paid his uncle to help him make them. “I guess that’s a good lesson to learn.” Students tally their costs to determine how many items they must make and what price they must charge to recoup enough money to pay back their loans. “Hopefully, they have a little money left over so they have a profit,” said Colleen Harris, who teaches a third- and fourthgrade combination class. “If they do, they can use their money to buy real prizes at an endof- the-year auction.” PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISEELA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Fourth-graders at Country Elementary School last w eek sold products as the final segment of a lesson in economics. The student had to design a product, make it and then sell it. Erik Balousek, 10, shows a demo of his product "Hot Tops." Ten-year-old Elisa Jean will be at that auction after selling every one of the dreamcatchers she made for her Native American Nights store. “I made a big profit - $230,” she said. Parents use the money their children have paid them during the project to shop at the mall. “This is my second time,” said Mary Thoms, whose 9-year-old son, Dalton, had a store Ms year. “It’s an awesome learning experience. They really do leam every aspect of starting a business, and they seem to have a lot of fun.” Some shop owners, such as 8- year-old Holly Vasher, were creative in their signage and advertising. “Why get normal hard pillows when you can get pillow passion?” asked a sign by hdr store. “Come here for fashion!” Others, such as 10-year-old Shane Bowring, who composed “The Destroyer,” his own comic book, were as creative in their products. “He kept thinking of things Emily Clark, 8, a third-grader, created "Face Painting Central" as her business venture. Here she paints Ashton Clark, 9, a third-grader. he’s watched or read and gave it his own mark,” said Jerry Bowring, his father. “He paid his brother to illustrate it and his mother to make color copies. He worked on it for three weeks and couldn’t wait to get here to sell them.

For Pinckney’s Adrianne McNally and Brenden Marcum and Fowlerville’s Vinnie lyie, finishing runner-up in their respective events at the state track finals June 3 brought nothing but pride and a strong sense of accomplishment. Despite their efforts, the Division I meet, staged in East Kentwood, turned out to be a disappointment for the Kensington Valley Conference. Only five local KVC athletes placed among the top eight to earn all-state honors. None of the relays for Brighton, Howell or Pinckney advanced to the final heat. Brighton senior Zach Nichols, the No. 1 seed, tied for sixth in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet, 3 inches. “I don’t think we had the showing that we’ve had the past,” said Howell boys track coach Paul Webster. “In the distances races, the league is really young. The most talented kids are sophomores and juniors. Next year will be some real fireworks. We had a run of three-four years where we had the top distance kids in the state.” Still, there were a handful of individual success stories. Marcum ran to second in the 3,200, finishing in 9 minutes, 36.26 seconds, a personal record by several seconds. The junior credits the training he did with the Pirate swim team for his performance. “I was happy with second,” he said. “I had a fun race. I went a little bit late (on my kick to finish 'I was happy with second. I had a fun race.' Fowlerville runner Vinnie Tyle strong). Hopefully next year, I can come back and win it then.” McNally tied for second in the high jump, clearing 5 feet, 4 inches - the same height as the winner but with more misses. She only started high jumping as a sophomore, and took last year off from track. “It was awesome to be in it to the end,” said McNally, who was seeded ninth in the event. Howell senior Brian Pagels was fifth in the discus with a throw of 156 feet, two inches. The throw was his second-best of the year, just seven inches off his PR. “It was a pretty good day,” Pagels said. Hartland junior Ashley Esparza tied for eighth in the pole vault by clearing 10 feet, 4 inches - two inches short of her best effort. “I learned a lot about the competition and how everything runs,” she said. “It probably made me a lot more ready for next year.” lyie cleared 14 feet, 4 inches for second in the pole vault at the Division 2 meet in Grand Rapids. A week before the meet, he stepped on a nail, injuring his right foot. Also hampered by back problems, he was just happy to contend. “If I vaulted as well as my junior year, I would have won states easy,” he said. “It wasn’t in the cards for me. I’m not satisfied with my second, but I’ll take it. I know I could have been better. I overcame all the odds stacked against me.” Young Brighton golfers aren't rattled Instead of feeling the pressure, they relaxed and had fun at states BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter The message from coach Bill Miller was simple: Have fun. The Brighton girls golf team accomplished that, and more, at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division I state tournament, June 2-3 a t Forest Akers East course in East Lansing. The Bulldogs finished in fifth place, their best showing ever, with a two-day total of 337-340- 677.The Bulldogs played loose and swung freely. They knew if they worried too much about where they’d finish or how they played, th eir scores would soar in their first state tournament since 2 0 0 1 . “Everyone handled the p re ssure well,” said senior Brooke Oliphant. “We did the best we’ve ever done. It was fun, a g re at experience.” Brighton’s younger players didn’t get rattled ag a in st bigtime competition. F reshman Vanessa Koechli was steady with a 77-79-156, ju st two shots out of the top 10. Oliphant, sophomore Sara Walker and Nicole Lysak all lowered their scores on the final day. “We all played really well. We should be proud,” said sophomore Kelsey Haupt, who shot 82- 89-171 as the team’s No. 2 finisher. The Bulldogs aren’t ready to contend for a championship - Grand Blanc beat them by 39 strokes - but they plan to take another step forward next season COURTSEY, BROOKE O LIPHANT B rig h to n s e n io r g o ife r Brooke Oiiphant poses near the first hoie on the Forest Akers East course, site o f th e D iv is io n I s ta te g o if to u rn am e n t on June 2-3 in East Lansing, w h e re th e Bu iidogs finished fifth. with four returning starters.

Nichols, a standout in basketball, track and football, will play football, and possibly basketball, at Northern Michigan University. Nichols, McNally prove they are both winners ATHLETES OF Picking the top 25 highlights at the end of each school year is always a fun project. It’s always interesting to reminisce about the year’s best memories. More importantly, though, it signals a break from high school sports. Summer is here. Consider this the final hurrah of the 2005-06 school year. 25. Gymnastics jammin’: The Brighton and Hartland co-ops continued their excellence at the state meet in gymnastics, finishing sixth and eighth. The Bulldogs, who moved into a new gym over the winter, got a gutsy performance from senior Nicole Drouillard. 24. Cheers: Kudos again to the Hartland and Brighton competitive cheer squads. The Eagles were fifth at states and Brighton seventh. 23.

They’re both talented athletes who hate to lose. They both can shoot and score. McNally will play basketball at Florida Gulf Coast University in the fall. Nichols was the 2005-06 Kensington Valley Conference player of the year in basketball. They’re both winners and leaders. McNally’s Pirates won a school-record 22 games in basketball. Nichols’ Bulldogs won a KVC title in both football and basketball en route to arguably the best seasons in school history in both sports. The two were all-state high jumpers this spring. It should come as no surprise that the two have been dating for several months. There are too many similarities for them not to get along. “We pretty much are the same p erson,” McNally admitted. “We both are very competitive. We both love sports. That’s why we get along so well.” For their incredible accomplishments this season, McNally and Nichols have been selected as the firstever Livingston Community News Athletes of the Year. Nichols said the two are competitive in everything they do. “We kind of have competitions about who gets more awards or who does better (in sports), who gets more first places. It is a lot of fun,” Nichols said. The two played 1-on-l last week. McNally said she is still upset about losing all three games, 11-3,11-5 and 11-1. “He beat me really bad,” said McNally, who averaged 12 points and 6.9 assists in leading the Pirates to the regional finals for the second straight year. “I liked playing against him. Obviously, he’s a good player. It makes me better playing against him. I wasn’t happy after he beat me.” SEE WINNERS, C2 LON HORWEDEL.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Pin c kn e y Hig h School's A d r ia n n e McNally in action d uring Wednesday n ig h t November 16th's d is tric t clash versus Pioneer High School a t Saline High School. LEISA THOMPSON,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Zach Nichols of Brighton set the school record this spring with a high jump of 6 feet 9 inches, which would've won at last year's Division 1 state track and field meet. He said the extra work he put into football and basketball helped make him a better Jumper. C2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 2006 WINNERS FROM Cl Nichols, McNally are always competing McNally, who tied for second in the high jump at the Division I state meet on June 3, has bragging rights in track, but she said she won’t use them. Heading into the meet as the No. 1 seed, Nichols tied for sixth place with a jump of 6 feet, 3 inches, well below his school-record leap of 6-9 earlier this season. “Zach is a very intense p erson,” McNally said. “(June 3) just wasn’t his day. He still holds the high jump record at Brighton that no one will touch. He’s just had an awesome year.” Nichols, who also is among the top 15 academically in his graduating class, used his jumping ability and athleticism to dominate opponents in all three sports. In football, his 78 catches last season tied for secondmost in state history. The Bulldogs (10-3) advanced to the state semifinals for the first time, losing to Rockford in three overtimes. “We surprised everyone in football. That was cool,” said Nichols, who will play the sport at Northern Michigan University. In basketball, Nichols took over when star Rob Boss struggled through injuries to average 15 points and 7.4 rebounds a game, leading the Bulldogs to a 21-2 record. “I think I improved in basketball the most,” he said. “I was more of a defender and rebounder as a junior. ... I had to step up and assume a scorer’s role this year.” McNally, a four-year varsity athlete in basketball and volleyball, almost led the Pirates to dream seasons of their own. The Pirates (22-3) finally beat archrival Brighton in basketball, but couldn’t overtake the Bulldogs for the KVC title. In volleyball, the all-KVC outside hitter posted 489 kills, 121 blocks, 415 digs and 80 aces, and yet, the Pirates finished second to rival Lakeland in both the KVC standings and district tournament. She has no regrets, though. “I think high schooi sports are awesome,” she said. “It made my years so much fun.” Jason D e eg an can be re a ch ed a t jd eeg an@liv ings ton commun ityn ews .com or a t (8 1 0 ) 8 4 4 -2 0 1 2 .

No. 2 singles player Paul Nashar, No. 3 Michael Cluskey, No. 4 John Hughes and the No. 2 doubles team of Joshua Maddock and Jeffi’ey Ferrel won matches after byes to secure two points apiece. “I think everybody played pretty well,” No. 1 player Joel Parrish said. “There were a couple of disappointing losses, but everybody gave everything they had.” Golf tourneys coming for young players Hartland boys golf coach Nathan Oake and former coach Ethan Hawker have formed the Livingston County Junior Golf Association to provide 11 local tournaments for young players.

Scholarship hunting: This might one of the largest groups of seniors to land athletic scholarships in recent memory, including athletes of the year: Pinckney’s Adrianne McNally and Brighton’s Zach Nichols. Heavyweight wrestlers. Hartland’s Nick Anurak and Brighton’s Alex Strachan, landed scholarships with Michigan State University. Howell’s Heather Hatter (basketball at University of Detroit-Mercy) and P inctaey’s Kate Uitti (volleyball at New Hampshire) also landed Division I scholarships. 10. Fowlerville’s Field of Dreams: Fowlerville unveiled its new baseball and softball complexes. Once the construction is complete, the school’s athletic facilities will be some of the state’s best for a school its size. 9. Berserkers go wild: After years of being pushed around, the Livingston County Berserkers, an all-girls rugby club, struck back, going undefeated to win their &st Michigan Youth Rugby Association state title. Howell senior Krista Tarrant kicked the game-winner in the third overtime. 8. Rugby championship: A massive turnout sparked the Brighton Bulldogs to form two rugby teams. Its senior-laden lineup won three close games en route to a MYRA championship. 7. Soccer seniors: With 16 seniors, the Brighton boys soccer team overcame the adversity of injuries to advance to the state semifinals before losing, 4- 3, in overtime to Birmingham Brother Rice. 6. Courting success: The Brighton boys basketball team cruised to a KVC title behind the front-line talents of 2005 KVC player of the year Rob Boss and 2006 player of the year Zach Nichols. A loss in the district finals was a blow. 5. Hartland wrestling: The nationally ranked Eagles were stunned by the defending state champions, Davison, for their third straight loss in the state finals but regrouped to get individual state titles from Anurak, Shawn Steckroth and Matt Bain. 4. Goodbye, coach Carrow: In the last of his 34 seasons, retiring Brighton baseball coach Mark Carrow wins his 12th KVC title, his 800th career game and another district championship. 3. Playoff magic: The Brighton football team advances to the first state semifinal in school history. Two of the Bulldogs’ three losses are to rival Rockford, including the heartbreaking 42-35 triple overtime loss in the semifinals. QB T.J. Van Doren and Nichols found homes in the Michigan High School Athletic Association record book. 1 (tie). Hockey heroes: The Bulldogs (27-1-2) recruited some new talent from junior hockey and rode the skills of Mr. Hockey Zach Hitch and goalie Jason Spada to their first Division I state title. 1 (tie). Band of Pirates: The pack of Pinckney runners that captured a Division I state title in the fall also wreaked havoc on opponents in the spring as the Pirates plowed through the KVC dual meets unbeaten. Brenden Marcum ran to second place in the 3,200 at the Division I state track meet. Jason D e eg an can be re a ch ed a t jdeegan@Uvin gston commu nitynews .com o r a t (8 10) 8 4 4 -2 0 1 2 .

Superintendent Chuck Breine r said there will be the pos slbility of families with multiple athletes getting some sort of fee discount, but that is has not yet been worked out. “There’s maintenance on our fields and it makes sense to (have them) pay for that,” said Board President Sue Drazic.

Fees will go up 10 cents for elementary and secondary lunches to $2 and $2.30 respectively, and breakfast prices at the secondary level also will increase by a dime to $1.50. School officials say the 10- cent increase will generate an additional $20,000 for the program, which is a self-supporting venture.

Education association says it's disappointed with selection BY U S A C A R O LIN News Staff Reporter It took more than six months of discussion and searching for the Brighton school board to decide that the best candidate to become the district’s new superintendent was sitting right next to them. Jim Craig, assistant superintendent of finance and a 15-year employee of the school district, was chosen in a 5-2 vote June 8 to be Brighton’s next superintendent. It’s a job the board would like him to begin July 1 if terms of a contract can be finalized by then. The board is hoping that a contract agreement can be approved at its next meeting, June 19 and are working with a salary range of $125,000-$140,000. Craig currently earns $108,000. Craig was chosen over Susan Allan, assistant superintendent of the Grosse Pointe school district. Brighton has been without a permanent superintendent since Jan. 3 when Dave Pruneau left to become the superintendent in the Rochester school district. Craig was the interim superintendent for close to two months until John Hansen took over the job. Board trustee Greg Kushner said, “Jim is a man of extreme integrity and honesty, and I have complete faith in his ability to run this district.” “We need the support of the business community and Jim Craig gives us strong support there,” said trustee Wilham Anderson. Barry Goode, president of the Brighton Education Association, who was part of the bargaining unit that worked with Craig on the new teachers contract, says he, and many teachers, are disappointed that Craig was chosen. “Dr. Allan would have been a curriculum all-star, and Jim could have stayed in finance. Our experience with Jim has SEE CRAIG, A2 Downtown going upscale Brighton's (district drawing trendy mix of businesses BY TOM T O L E N News Staff Reporter Downtown Brighton is in the midst of a metamorphosis. The traditional downtown business district along West Main Street is emerging fi-om a cocoon of quaintness to become a trendy m k of restaurants, boutiques and shops. An influx of private investment is following recent public improvements. There is a new pubhc display of sculpture in the business district and a new promotional campaign in the works. “People have come in with such a buzz ...” says Linda Botka, who just moved her CW Interiors business into one of downtown Brighton’s newest buildings. “They are so excited about (what’s happening in) Brighton.” Jeweler Mark Binkley says this latest evolution of downtown Brighton “is a good sign of an active downtown.” Mayor Steve Monet says new parking lots, street upgrades and pedestrian- friendly touches are all part of a combined effort of the city and its Downtown Development Authority. Since 2002, $4.3 million has been invested in infi'astructure upgrades. City planning consultant Rich Morrison says there has been $115 million invested privately in the DDA district since 1993, not including some of the more recent private investments. In addition the new growth, downtown Brighton also has the Mill Pond with an extensive walkway along the water, the Imagination Station playground, and free public parking, all of which officials say help to attract visitors. Karen Buchanan of Genoa Township says she loves the new look of downtown. “I really like the pedestrian crosswalks,” says Buchanan. “It lets the drivers know that someone is about to cross. I (also) like the shops,” she says. Buchanan gives thumbs up to the changes including touches such as hanging flower baskets the DDA recently installed. Private investment The most recent investment in downtown is the purchase by Rottermond Jewelers of the Cap-N-Cork party store building at East Main Street and Grand River Avenue. Owner Dean Rottermond, who plans to renovate the building and make it his new jewel^ store, says investing in downtown Brighton is part of his commitment to the city’s future. Stan Schafer, president of Schafer Construction Co. in Brighton, is re sponsible for many of the most recent downtown changes.

Dean Rottermond bought the building two weeks ago from owner Jack Conely for an undisclosed price. He plans a complete renovation of the building, which will give the jewelry store four times the space it occupies now, just a couple doors down Grand River Avenue.

The brick home is nice and the gardens in front are lovely, but it’s the huge lime-green fire truck in the driveway that really attracts all the attention.

The four-day celebration began Thursday and ends Sunday. Hours are noon-midnight.

These trucks burn a lot more gas.” Getschman takes a lot of ribbing about the color of his, which started out classic red but was painted green as part of a government program in the 1970s, he said. “People will say, ‘Leave it out in SEE FUN FES T, A2 JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Dave Getschman with his antique fire truck that will be on display Saturday during the Hamburg Family Fun Fest.

Main St. “Every building you do, you want it to be something special, you want to be proud of it,” Schafer says. City officials say many people, most notably developer Mike Corrigan of Corrigan Construction Co., preceded Schafer in raising the bar for building standards in the city. DDA Chairman Bob Herbst says new buildings and upgrades are a portent of the future. “The changes have been very dramatic, and this is the way we’re going to have to be (to compete with new, nearby shopping centers),” he says. Significant competition will come this fall with Green Oak Village Place, an 80-store lifestyle mall on the east side of US-23 at Lee Road south of town. Part of the reason for the new buildings in downtown Brighton is that many older ones pre-date current construction codes. New requirements for barrierfree access make renovating older buildings more difficult, says DDA Administrator Dennis Whitney. The three newest downtown buildings will result in two more JEWELER FROM A1 Owner plans to remodel Dick Harris, the owner of the Cap-N-Cork, had leased the building from Conely. He says he’s not sure what he will do about relocating his business. “The planning (for the new store) starts immediately,” Rottermond said “We will go through the city and the architectural process, and we eicpect the process to take six to nine months,” he said. With the city’s blessing, Rottermond plans to remodel the building next spring and move in next summer. “It be a major re-do of the building,” he said. “We are going to take what I believe to be an eyesore and make it a focal point for downtown,” said Rottermond. The remodeled building will be of “brick, stone and glass,” he says. The building has a partial upstairs which Rottermond may make into a full second story. “I haven’t decided what to do with it,” Rottermond says. “It may be used for display space, it may be my office.” It could also be used for the watch repair side of his business, which he plans to expand with the extra space. Rottermond says the decision to buy the building is “all based on our success during our three-and-a-half years in Brighton (in which) we have fulfilled all of our goals.” According to Rottermond, whose first store is in Milford, the new building is part of his philosophy of making a commitment to the communities where he has jewelry stores. Two years ago, he bought a bank building in Milford, remodeled it and opened it to replace his previous store. Rottermond says his commitment to Brighton is the same. “Both (the Brighton and Milford stores) will be equally important,” he says. Rottermond prides himself as being the exclusive dealer in this area for Rolex watches, “Hearts on Fire” - advertised as the world’s most perfect diamond - and Tycoon cut diamonds, which are said to reflect 50 percent more light. restaurants in a town that is getting a reputation for having many culinary choices. The newest planned dining establishments are Above Main (in the CW Interiors building) and Stonefire Bistro (in the building at Main and First). Planner Morrison says the new restaurant additions were facilitated by a 1999 amendment to the downtown parking ordinance so that smaller businesses are no longer required to provide off-street parking. When does over-saturation occur and the number of dining establishments become too many? “I don’t think we’re there yet,” Schafer says. The variety of dining establishments will draw more people downtown, where shopping and recreation are nearby. “If they know they have choices, people are going to come,” he says. Public Investment A new Brighton has emerged with combination of forwardthinking business people and city officials who have insisted on strict construction standards and a more pedestrian-friendly town. “The combination of the city and the DDA investing in key FUN FEST FROM A1 Fest includes concerts, crafts the sun and it’ll ripen eventual^,”’ Getschman said. “But when you put all the lights on, it doesn’t really matter what color it is.” He bought the truck four years ago and drives it in as many parades as possible. “Get some kids in the front seat and their smiles are so big, you don’t need any lights running,” Getschman said. Family FUn Fest is being hosted by the Hamburg Enhanced Recreation Organization, a 21- member group dedicated to creating more recreational opportunities in the township. Merrill Road’s speed limit is being dropped from 55 mph to 35 mph during the festival. Traffic control measures are in place and, if they can do so, attendees are encouraged to ride their bicycles and lock them to a fence in the parking area. Wade Shows Inc. is bringing more than 50 attractions to Family Blm Fest, including the “Mega Drop” and “Fireball” thrill rides. Except for the rides, which are open every day, everything at F ^iily Rm Fest is free, because activities are being sponsored by local groups and businesses, said Joanna Hardesty, Hamburg Township clerk and HERO president. HERO will make its money from the rides and concessions and parking donations, she said. Activities include a classic rock concert and fireworks display in the west park and classic fire truck and car shows, arts and crafts show, business expo. Father’s Day breakfast, motorcycle show. Battle of the Bands, concerts and entertainers in the east park. Rinds raised this year will support the Hamburg R/C Flyers, a group of radio-controlled airplane enthusiasts working on a field and runway expansion in Bennett Park, and the Dennis Morgan Enabling Garden, a barrier-free garden of planting surfaces and containers to make gardening easier for senior citizens and people with disabilities.

Recent public investments in area include: ■ $1.7 million Mill Pond Lane reconstruction project completed in 2005, which included burial of overhead utilities and conversion of Hyne Alley into a pedestrian walkway. ■ New raised and lighted pedestrian crosswalks at Main and Hyne streets. Main and First and at Mill Pond Park. ■ Improvements to several city parking lots plus construction of East Street, Hyne Street and Pierce Street parking lots, A recent quasi-public investment was the Brighton Biennial sculpture exhibit. Coordinated by the Mayor’s Commission on in Public Places, the effort resulted in 28 pieces of sculpture placed throughout he downtown district. Promoting downtown A new effort to maintain the momentum by promoting downtown is close to approval. The creation of a Principal Shopping District would allow an assessment on downtown businesses that would be used to fund advertising and other promotional efforts. The recommended assessment would generate about $70,000 a year. Downtown merchants who are backing the plan also are seeking a one-time appropriation of $50,000-$100,000 from the city and an annual appropriation from the DDA. Motivation for it came from the nearby Green Oak Village Place mall. Binkley, a leader of the downtown merchants’ effort, says he has no idea how many shoppers will come to downtown Brighton, but hopes the number is substantial. “When the developers first came to town, they were eager to cooperate with us, such as cross-advertising,” Binkley says. He says while nothing formal has been arranged, the PSD board “is considering how can we take advantage of the mall coming in and draw people to downtown” including possible signs near the mall. Co-developer Bill Clark of Quadrants said the 410,000- square-foot phase one of Green Oak Village Place will officially open in October. Phase two, including a 100,000-square-foot JC Penney store, is set to open next CRAIG FROM A1 New super excels at finances not been very good. There is a long history of distrust and being treated poorly, and making him the boss isn’t a very good idea if you’re trying to heal things and make a fresh start.” Improving communication with teachers is a priority for Craig. “I want to try to bridge some of the problems we’ve got in communication and get myself better connected with the teachers to help overcome some of their feelings,” Craig says, re ferring to the long and challenging negotiation process that he participated in with the teachers union, the BEA. “There’s a derogatory perception of a bean counter who can’t relate to people,” Craig says. “People in Brighton have not seen me in any other role than fijnancial officer. I’m much more focused on what’s best for kids.” Bonnie Riutta, the former assistant superintendent for curriculum, who works as a parttime curriculum consultant to the Livingston Educational Service Agency, has known Craig since he was hired in the district. “I think Jim has lots of skills,” says Riutta. “He is an excellent finance person, but I also think that he has the history and the background that is important to know about the district. He has the ability to look at the big picture, and it’s important that the district take a look at curriculum and the hole that is there right now.” Retired Brighton teacher Jim Bastian has Imown Craig for 15 years. They are in the same running group. “Jim and I have similar backgrounds,” says Bastian. “We were both special education teachers. He’s a fiiend, and I respect him as a professional. I’ve always been impressed with his integrity.” Craig grew up with a dad who was a Methodist minister. He attended both Central Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University where he earned his teaching degree. During the summer, he worked with kids in inner city Flint as part of the Mott Foundation Summer Program, and he also worked for the Fresh Air Rmd in New York State with inner city kids from New York City.

He taught emotionally impaired children at a middle school in the Albion school district for more than a decade and then created a position for himself as director of computer education, with the job to integrate technology into the classroom and work with teachers. He was hired as the assistant superintendent of business affairs in the East Grand Rapids school district, and four years later came to Brighton as assistant superintendent as finance. Despite a school year filled with tense and emotional negotiations and board meetings, Craig had no doubt that he wanted to be superintendent. “I have thought long and hard about the position,” says Craig. “One of things I want to do is to build a team environment. We need to have conversations with teachers in an environment that’s not so intense. We need to do a better job of communicating with each other.” March.

JUNE 16, 2006 A3 Teachers get 2-year deal But economy leads Brighton board to reject 3rd year BY LISA CAROLIN News S taff Reporter It took until the end of the school year for the teachers of Brighton to finally get a contract for the year that just concluded, Now, because a twoyear contract was ultimately approved, negotiators will be back at the bargaining table during the next school year. The Brighton school board approved a two-year contract by a 4-3 vote at its June 8 meeting. The board separately voted down a third year by a 5-2 vote. The Brighton Education Association had been without a contract since August 2005. The new two-year contract calls for a wage increase of 2.25 percent retroactive for the 2005-06 school year and also for the 2006-07 school year. It provides a retroactive payment of $520 this year for health care coverage, which will increase to $620 next year. The cost of a generic prescription will double from $5 to $10 and name prescription costs will go from $10 to.$20. Interim superintendent John Hansen, who was part of the negotiation process, told the board: “I recommend that you ratify both parts of this (referring to both the two-year and three-year contract proposals). Without this investment in hope, you face a difficult situation in the fail.” Board president Cindy Cvengros supported the twoyear contract but not the third year. “Never in my 10 years on the board have I found the two parties as far part as they were this time. Things are so unsure in this state, that we can't afford to be guessing about the third year.” Trustee Bill Anderson voted against both contracts because he said there weren’t enough savings with the health insurance pian. He cautioned the board against voting for a three-year contract. “This year is an election year and because of that, I believe the state won’t change its mind (on what it promised to pay in school funding.) But in the ’07-08 year, that’s ali off the table.” Trustee Joe Carney, who supported the three-year contract, said: “The third year opens up a complete new package for our employees. We’re leading people into change from the health care system.” Trustee Dawn Boss was one of the tru ste e s who voted against both contract proposals. She said she had received numerous calls from parents who were against the proposed contracts but were afraid to come forward and say what they thought for fear of the way their children might be treated in the classroom. According to Jim Craig, who as assistant superintendent of finance helped negotiate the contract, the agreement in the current year will slightly increase expenditures. “We used $2 million of our fund balance this year and will use close to $1.8 million in the 2006-07 year, which will bring our fund equity down to close to $722,000, 1.5 percent of our total budget.” Craig says he would like to have a minimum of 5 percent of the budget in the fund equity. Trustee Miles Vieau, who voted against both contract proposals, said: “This is totally about economics. The fund equity is one-time money. Once it's gone, it's gone.” Lisa Carolin c an be re a ch ed a t lcaroHn@Hvingstoncommunitynews .com o r a t 8 1 0 -8 4 4 -2 0 1 0 . Parents join kids to accept diplomas Green OakTownship couple among 115 to graduate through Brighton's Adult Education program BY USA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Cindy and Jim Goodwin never expected to graduate from high school at the same time as their children, but that’s exactly what happened. ■rhe Green Oak Township couple, who are both in their 40s, attended Brighton’s Adult Education to earn their high school diplomas, which they received June 11, with their children and Cindy’s parents in a ttendance. Cindy’s daughter, Angela Chalbeck, graduated from Brighton High School on June 10, and Jim’s son, also named Jim Goodwin, graduated from high school in Algonac two weeks ago. Cindy and Jim Goodwin were among 58 graduates who re ceived high school diplomas and another' 57 graduates who received General Educational Development certificates at the Adult Education graduation ceremony at the .Brighton Center for the Performing Arts. “We consult with every student individually to see whether a high school diploma or a GED is more advantageous, which may depend on what their ultimate goal is,” says Joanne Rodgers, supervisor for the Adult H i ^ School, which is part of Brighton Community Education. “Students of different ages have done it the hard way and often have overcome many obstacles to earn their GED or high school diploma,” says Rodgers. “I just turned 48 in May so this is quite an accomplishment,” says Cindy Goodwin. “Joanne has been instrumental in making the classes work for us and we even get credit for work experience.” James and Cindy Goodwin work at the Ford Wixom Plant, where they’ve been employed for 18 years and 13 years, respectively. When they found out earlier this year that the plant might close down, they decided they needed something to fall back on. “We’ll probably lose our jobs at the Wixom plant, and you have to have a high school education for most jobs now,” says James Goodwin. “Times are getting tough, and we wanted to secure ourseives for something down the road.” The couple started each day at 4:30 a.m. to go to work and sometimes didn’t finish with classes until 10 p.m. They worked together on courses including a computer class, government, history and health. “I learned to type so I typed up all the work that Jim had to turn in and he helped me with computers big time,” says Cindy Goodwin. “I left that class crying the first night because I couldn’t keep up. Now I know Word, Excel and Power Point.” Cindy Goodwin’s favorite class was government. “I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18 so I had a lot to say to the other students in the class about the importance of getting out and voting,” she says. “Toward the end, the kids in the class were asking us LISA CAROLIN,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Cindy and Jim Goodwin (center in caps and gowns) received their high schooi d ip iom a s d u r in g th e g ra d u a tio n ce rem o n y fo r Brighton's Adult Education program. Pictured with the Goodwins are daughter-in-law Amanda, Cindy's son John Chalbeck, Bill's son Jim Goodwin, who graduated earlier this month from high school, Cindy's son Billy, Cindy's dad and mom Dale and Pat Binkley, and Cindy's daughter Angela Chalbeck, who graduated from Brighton High School last Saturday. questions, too.” Margy McDaniel, 52, who lives in Hamburg Township, also received her high school degree. “It was tough trying to cram a whole high school learning experience into a matter of weeks,” says McDaniel. “I loved Adult Education and the respect I got. They didn’t care that you were a high school dropout. A lot of kids in the program came from hard times. If they were treated with that same respect in high school, there wouldn’t be so many dropouts.” It was McDaniel’s son, Brandon Fracassi, who encouraged her to go back to school. F racassi graduated from Brighton’s Adult Education program in 2001 and received a scholarship to attend Washtenaw Community College. He is now at Eastern Michigan University where he is studying to be a teacher, and hopes to graduate in the fall of 2007. Fracassi was the speaker at his mother’s graduation. “I want students to know that this is the beginning, not the end; that traditional settings are not for everyone; and that sometimes you need a second chance. I got in some trouble during my first few years of high school and decided that rather than stick around in a regular setting, I would get things done and went to Adult High School.” Fracassi says he was inspired to speak at the graduation because of his mom’s accomplishment. “You realize much more as an adult how important a high school education is,” says McDaniel, who adds that she grateful to her son for his encouragement.

The real battle in Hell isn’t between good and evil. It’s between the fewer than 100 residents of a Putnam Township hamlet and almost anyone who brings thousands of people to town by organizing an event that capitalizes on its quirlgf name. The latest shots fired are dimed at John Colone, owner of Screams Ice Cream and Halloween store, one of three businesses on Patterson Lake Road in Hell. The number 666 is most often associated with Satan, so •Colone thought, why not have a party in Hell last Tuesday, or 6- 6-06? Apparently, anywhere from 8.000 to 12,000 people thought it was a good idea and took advantage of a beautiful day to make it the biggest event in Hell’s 165-year history. Calls from angry residents started coming into the township hall and the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department around noon. The festivities didn’t wind down until 12 hours later. “People move out here to get away from it all,” said Hell resident A1 Machek, who complained in person to Supervisor Dick Knopf two days after the event. “It’s really nowhere. So what if it just happens to be called Hell? Three or four people use it as an excuse to get rich, but it’s at the expense of everyone who lives there. It’s just inconsiderate.” Complaints centered around the size of the crowd and the lack of parking, crowd control, security and restroom facilities, Knopf said. Similar complaints have arisen from the “Run Thru Hell,” an annual summer road race that attracts up to 2.000 runners every year; the annual spring “Blessing of the Bikes” motorcycle event and Hell's quite a draw Hell annually draws about 100,000 visitors, but Colone scrapped ideas of starting a Downtown Development Authority there after residents protested at a 2004 township meeting that it would lead to more development, traffic and congestion. Having a DDA would have made the area eligible for grants, some of which are targeted for sidewalks, street lights, parking, road improvements, landscaping and other beautification projects. Township law requires that anyone planning an event that could draw 500 people or more must spend $100 for a permit to make sure there is enough safety equipment, security and facilities to handle the people. The permit is not meant to discourage an*event, but to make sure there are adequate preparations in place to serve a large crowd, Knopf said. The permit may not stop the complaints, Knopf said, but it does give everyone a heads-up that there is a big event in the works. “We’re not saying that anyone should quit having events, just plan well for them,” he said. In his defense, Colone said he had no idea this event would have such a huge draw. He said reports of it circulated internationally by the media and Internet took the publicity to a level he never anticipated. “I did not spend one dime on advertising,” Colone said. “If I thought I was going to have a festival, I would have advertised and I would have gotten a permit. Hell is a destination and it will continue to be one. I can’t stop people from coming.” Knopf doesn’t completely buy Colone’s explanation. “He’s an entrepreneur,” Knopf said. “He’s the ET. Barnum of Putnam Township.” Crowd size a surprise Livingston County Undersherrif Michael Murphy is more sympathetic toward Colone, adding that the sheriff’s department also didn’t realize the potential of this event. “We should have been proactive,” he said. “I’ve been in this business long enough to know people will drive hours just to say they’ve been somewhere on a particular day, but there was no way to know how big this thing would be. If there had been more advance publicity, there could have been 20,000 people there, or the whole thing could have been a flop.” However, Murphy said, he wished the department had gotten more advance communication from Colone about what was happening, to prepare for the complaints and the rowdiness that increased as the sun went down, the families left and the partiers turned out.O nly three arrests were made. Murphy said many more could have been made, but that could have incited more problems in the crowd that could have resulted in people getting hurt. Knopf worries that the township could be billed for the extra police services. If that happens, he said, he’ll send the bill to Colone. “The township didn’t make penny one on this, but we’re the ones who have taken all the flak for it for four days,” Knopf said. Business was good The positive aspects of the event have been lost in the negativity, said Colone and others. “Bringing people to town helps everybody,” said Rick Beaudin, a local real estate = TilE LIVINGSTON = COMMUNITY NEWS Published each Friday.

CREDIT agent and president of the Pinckney-Lakeland-Hamburg Chamber of Commerce. “If you live next to the University of Michigan stadium, you have to know you’re going to have crowds on football weekends. If you live in or near a town named Hell, you have to expect that things are going to happen once in awhile.” Businesses in Pinckney, Hamburg Township, Chelsea, Dexter, Gregory and Stockbridge benefited from the people who came to this event. “I did 50 percent more business than a typical Tuesday,” said Brent Luoma, owner of The Lakes Grille restaurant in downtown Pinckney. “And we were swamped for breakfast the next day from people who stayed in the area. This generated a lot of business for downtown.” Colone admits the day was “extremely successful” for him profit-wise but declined to name a figure. Mike “Smitty” Hickey, owner of Hell’s Dam Site Inn bar and restaurant also had one of the better days he’s ever had after one of the toughest winters he’s ever had. Putnam Township Trustee Tom Benedetti, who lives on the outskirts of Hell and has been inconvenienced himself by a two-hour wait to get to his driveway during events, is sympathetic about the criticism Colone is facing. “There’s plenty of blame for everybody,” Benedetti said. “The residents should have expected something, the township should have expected something, law enforcement should have expected something. I’m sure John expected something, just not something this big.” Le an n e Smith c an be re a ch ed a t lsm ith@ livin gstoncom mu nitynew s. com o r a t 8 1 0 -8 4 4 -2 0 1 1 .

Project loses funding $1.1 million grant returned; Victoria Station delayed BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter Victoria Station, a proposed mixed-use development in downtown Howell, is facing more delays now th a t a $1.1 million state grant for the project is being returned. The city and developer Norbert Boes concluded they could not meet a June 30 deadline for a development agreement needed to receive the funding. Instead, the city will return that money and expect approval later this month for a $520,000 grant for the D-19- Michigan Avenue streetscape project. That grant, if given final state approval, would be added to the $420,000 state grant previously approved for the D-19 and Michigan Avenue project for a total of $940,000 in grants. City Manage Shea Charles said. He expressed confidence the two sides will still be able to reach a development deal between now and the end of September on Victoria Station. An ad-hoc city committee will continue to meet with the developers toward that end, he says. At the May 22 City Council meeting, Boes presented a scaled-down version of the mixed-use project. The original estimated $26 million pricetag was reduced to $17 million under the latest proposal, with $11.5 million of that being the first phase. The size of the project has been re duced from 1.75 to 1.25 acres. Residential, retail and office components are planned, with a two-story, below-grouiid parking deck included. The total cost for the Michigan Avenue-D-19 project - a joint city-Downtown Development Authority effort - is pegged at $3 million. Phase I, from Grand River Avenue to Argyle Street, was completed in 2004 and Phase II, from Argyle to 1-96, will be completed at the same time as the D-19 corridor and road improvement project set for next year.

Pat Cole, who lives on Devonshire Street and admits she is no sculptor, says her work is simply an example that she hopes others will emulate. At least one person already has. A friend of Cole’s has taken up the cause and has placed three sculptures in her yard. Susan Figurski of Livingston Street fashioned v to t her husband says is a whimsical sculpture. “I don’t know what (the main piece) is; it’s made of cinder blocks. I think it looks like some Aztec god,” says Mike Figurski. The other two Figurski pieces consist of a Greek statue and an oriental piece. Cole’s belief is that the downtown sculptures that are part of JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON C OMMUNITY NEWS Patricia Coie of Brighton put her own scuipture titied, "Pretty Pink Thing," in her fro n t yard as her co n trib u tio n to th e Brighton sculpture display. Cole says she believes th at the Biennial should not be confined to downtown or to only professional artists. the Brighton Biennial should be opened up to the entire community and not confined to professional artists alone, nor to the downtown area. Cole calls her candle tree sculpture “Pretty Pink Thing.” The purpose. Cole concedes, is to poke fun at the City Council - with whom she frequently disagrees on a variety of subjects - for the public art effort, and particularly for the nude sculpture prominently displayed on West Main Street Mayor Steve Monet says if residents want to do their own sculptures, it’s all right by him. Pilot killed in crash identified Novi man was only person aboard From News staff reporters The pilot of a plane that crashed on a private Livingston County airstrip has been identified as Lowell “Doug” Anglin, 56, of Novi. Anglin was the only person aboard a 1992 single-engine Beechcraft when it crashed at about 7:20 p.m. June 8 near a small airport in Unadilla Township. The plane burst into flames. charring the tail, where the plane’s registration number is located. Only a portion of the registration number was legible, said Tony Molinaro of the Federal Aviation Administration, and that delayed identification of the plane and the pilot. The FAA Web site said Anglin reported engine trouble before the crash. No one saw the crash, which occurred about three-quarters of a mile off the runway at the southern end of Richmond Field on Doyle Road, south of M-36. According to Unadilla Township police, people in the area ran to the crash with buckets of water from a nearby creek until township firefighters finally doused the blaze with foam. Anglin’s flight plan indicated his flight originated at the Kalamazoo- Battle Creek International Airport, and he was scheduled to land at Wdlow Run Airport near Ypsilanti. The National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates all aviation crashes, is not expected to release even a preliminary cause for the crash until at least Thursday. The investigation is expected to last sbc-12 months.

School officials say even with those cuts, the s ta te ’s economy could worsen, forcing a second round of deeper cuts before the sta rt of the next school year. “The bottom may be coming sooner than next year,” said Vice President Jeff Limonoff. “We don’t know what the state is going to do (in terms of setting the dollar amount of state aid for students) and we don’t know our student count y e t ... This is ju st the first wave (of cuts.) We’re not done.” Superintendent Ed Alverson said that $580,000 must be trimmed from the district’s $24 million budget before July 27. Suggested first-round cuts target personnel, a $158,000 savings in salaries, insurance and retirement; supplies, a savings of about $100,000; and the elimination of the Adult Education Program, a savings of $45,000. A life skills course at Munn Middle School could also be eliminated, saving the district $60,000. “This will impact our students,” Alverson said of the proposed budget cuts, “But when you’ve done this five out of the last six years, there are not a lot of options left.” Kindergarten paraprofessionals will be eliminated this year, if the proposed cuts are accepted. The group, three to four women responsible for helping kindergartners adjust to school life, were spared from last y e a r’s cuts. They could be the only group to re ceive pink slips this year because other savings in personnel will come through a ttrition. Other areas of consideration, although not formally proposed, include the privatization of some custodial and maintenance duties. “Some people think privatizing all the support services is inevitable.... I don’t know that that is the case, but it could be,” said Alverson. The state gives Fowlerville $6,700 per student in aid annually, the state minimum. As its biggest source of revenue, districts are hard pressed to formalize a budget without knowing how much they will receive in state aid. Adding to the equation, Fowlerville administrato rs continue to negotiate contracts with the teachers and custodial unions. Talks continue to focus on health care. “We are trying to maintain the highest quality of education and tre a t the teachers as fairly as we can,” said Chris Wanczyk, board member and finance committee c h a ir. The June 20 meeting is set for 7:30 p.m., in the media center at Kreeger Elementary. Homes tour includes north For first time, residences in northern Livingston County are to be featured BY USA CAROLIN News Staff Reporter Development and growth in Livingston County have been moving north and west, and for the first time, the increased interest in homes in the north of the county is being represented at this year’s Cavalcade of Homes tour. The tour concludes this weekend. The Home Builders Association of Livingston County, which sponsors the annual tour, decided to include the two north-county homes because of the growth that’s occurring up the US-23 corridor. Hartland Township’s population has grown from 10,996 in 2000 to close to 15,000 residents currently, a 32 percent jump. A sewer project in Hartland Township along US-23 north is one of the reasons for new development along with large tracts of land that are still av^able. Thom Rademacher, an agent with Keller Williams Real Estate in Brighton, is preparing to open a branch office in Hartland Township next month with 20-25 agents. “We see retail and service-related business growing and bringing more single-family home owners to the area,” says Rademacher. “The real estate market is slow now, but as it regains momentum, we expect growth in the Hartland area to take off tremendously.” Cavalcade co-chairs Bob and Corey Ridsdale ovm Ridsdale JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS This house, included on this year's Cavalcade of Homes, is located in the northeast part of the county at 13224 Clyde Road. Custom Homes in Howell, the builder of one of the two homes. “This is the first home that we have built that far north off US- 23 and the first time that we’ve had two builders on the tour going out that way,” says Corey Ridsdale. The home is located on Clyde Road east of US-23. It’s a 2,730- square-foot, two-story home priced at $518,589. The home includes Australian Cypress hardwood floors, a large stone fireplace in the great room, a screened-in porch, and an unfinished bonus room. It’s located at 13224 Clyde Road. The other home is located just east of Argentine Road at 7555 Glen Hatt and is built by CDP Custom Homes of Brighton. The two-story home covers 4,128 square feet and h a sa foyer entry with a barrel vault ceiling with a step-down into the great room that has a custom-designed coffered ceiling. The kitchen has Dynasty cherry cabinetry and a screened-in octagonal porch.

That was the case Tuesday night in Howell during the last in a series of community conversations about diversity. There was the story of the person who said things were better 30 years ago: Howell never had problems with discrimination until all those people started moving out here from &e Detroit area. There was the story of the anonymous phone message left for a community leader who was quoted in a news story encouraging more diversity. “Where am I supposed to move now?” the caller asked. “I moved out here to get away from all the crime that diversity brings.” There was the story of the human resources manager who said it is virtually impossible for her growing company to recruit a diverse work force. People of color won’t work in Howell. But the discussion did not stop there. Instead, the nearly 50 people who participated in the forum spent much of the evening developing ways to take action to dispel the perception that Howell is not a safe place for people who are different. The session was led by consultants Kevin Early and Shea Howell, who have been working with Howell community leaders since April when the first community conversation took place. While there is much work stUl to be done - ongoing efforts will be coordinated by the Livingston 2001 Diversity Council - this week’s session offered specific ideas for how to move ahead. First, there was the mission statement. While it still needs some polishing, there was general agreement that what the community of Howell ought to be reachhigfor: “A welcoming, open and economically vibrant community that embraces diversity and the inclusion of people from all walks of life, where the rights of everyone are honored and individual difference are respected.” That’s a tall order for any community. But this group, which includes business, political and educational leaders, students and those who just want Howell to be better respected as a community, was not satisfied with just a vision statement. They went to work in five different small groups to develop specific ideas for taking action. And they set a date - July 13 - when they would reconvene to review those action steps. Here are some of their suggestions: ■ Develop a wider range of news media contacts outside of the community so more people will learn about the good things happening in the Howell area. ■ Include more diverse entertainment in community events and parades. ■ Create a decal that businesses could put in their front windows that indicates support of diversity efforts. ■ Encourage Howell employers to participate in job fairs outside of Livingston County to help spread the word about opportunities in the area. ■ Create a communitywide luncheon to celebrate diversity in conjunction with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. ■ Call or write Howell school board members to express support for the school district’s commitment to creating a safe environment for all students in the schools. Accepting diversity, in its many and varied forms, is the right thing to do for Howell and every community. Making it happen will take years of dedication and hard work. Howell is off to a great start. M a n a g in g E d ito r Rick F itzg e ra ld c a n b e re a c h e d a t rfitzg e ra ld@ liv in g s to n com m u n ity n ew s .c om o r 8 1 0 -8 4 4 -2 0 0 4 .

When she told her husband, Ken, that she’d like to raise a goat, he laughed heartily, then realized she was serious. “Ken discouraged me. He said I didn’t know anything about raising goats, but a while later, I saw that the MSU Extension was offering goat-care classes. I went to every one,” said Miller. “Then I told him, Tm ready for goats.’” Through a classmate, Miller acquired three angora goats. “She just gave them to me,” she recalled. “Now we have eight goats and two sheep,” she said. “When you have goats (and sheep), you have to shear them. A friend taught me how. With all that wool, I had to learn how to use it.” It was a natural progression, she said, from raising the animals on their small-acreage hobby farm in Oceola Township to learning to spin and hook rugs, which she now does professionally at her home-based Spruce Ridge Studios. That’s in addition to working 'R u g h o o k i n g i s a t r a d i t i o n a l A m e r i c a n c r a f t t h a t s t a r t e d i n a b o u t t h e 1 8 5 0 s .

' artisan Kris Miller part-time at a Novi physician’s office and caring for the goats in what she calls her spinner’s herd. “It’s just big enough to provide enough wool and mohair for my needs,” Miller said. On a warm recent morning, the Millers set about shearing Biyce, a 4- year-old angora goat who is one of twins born to a doe in Kris’ small herd. “He knows something’s up,” Kris Miller said as the goat tried to elude capture in his spacious pen. “It doesn’t hurt them, but they’re generally not anxious to get sheared.” SEE SHEARING, 83 Kris Miller, a professional hooked-rug maker, is th e owner o f Spruce Ridge Studios, based at her Oceola Township home. She began raising goats as pets about six years ago and says she soon had to do something with all the mohair from the goats, so she learned spinning and rug hooking.

The main portion of the 22nd annual event will take place at the Howell High School complex on West Grand River Avenue, a mile west of the downtown area, with related activities taking place in downtown Howell. The festivities begin a day before the official opening of the Balloonfest with the Wade Show carnival on Thursday, June 22, from 2-11 p.m., with the balloonfest opening on Friday, June 23, and continuing through Sunday. Balloonfest manager Michelle Tokan of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, which coordinates the event, says the balloonfest is the state championship of hot air ballooning. “It’s a competitive event; the other events are fun flights,” she says. The weather was hot and muggy in 2005, which kept attendance down a bit, but overall the event was pronounced a success. “We’re hoping for better weather this year,” Tokan said. At least 53 pilots, mostly from Michigan and the Midwest, will participate this year, compared to 52 last year, Tokan says. Veteran pilot Je rry Stephan of Howell says the 40 volunteers who will assist the pilots in preparing balloons for launching are a huge help.

Goats will yield from five to eight pounds of mohair (the correct name for goat hair), she said, depending on size. “Bryce is a pretty large goat - he weighs about 130 pounds - and we’ve gotten as much as eight pounds of mohair when we shear him,” she said. Angora goats generally weigh 75-125 pounds, she added. Ken Miller, a professional picture- framer when he isn’t shearing goats, wielded the electric clippers while Kris held and soothed Bryce, his head in her lap. In the pen, Bryce’s mother. Willow, looked on, grumbling continuously in “goat language.” “She’s afraid we might be hurting her baby,” Miller said. Actually, if the shearing is done carefully and slowly enough - it may take Ken Miller most of an hour to shear Bryce - it’s unlikely that anything will cause the goat discomfort. Once sheared, and until their coats grow in a bit, the goats may get sunburned if they stay too long in the sun. Their spacious pens - there are two. Miller said, because two of the goats are a bit aggressive toward the rest - are situated in a grove of pine trees and offer plenty of shade. The mohair from Bryce and the herd’s other seven goats will be cleaned and carded at a processor in Frankenmuth, Miller said. Carding is a process by which the wool fibers are combed to remove debris. It also gets the fibers roughly lined up in the same direction, making it easier to spin. The result is a thick, but loose, ropelike configuration called “roving.” Miller uses the roving, often mixed with sheep’s wool, to spin yarn. She also uses unspun roving in some of her hooked pieces, including rugs, wall hangings and pillows. “It makes great Santa’s beards,” she said. “Rug hooking is a traditional American craft that started in about the 1850s,” she said. “That’s when burlap bags - burlap was the backing used in those days - began to be massproduced.” For middle- and lower-class families that couldn’t afford machine- produced carpeting, hooked rugs were an economical choice that were produced from outgrown and worn-out clothing. Miller said. Women in those times used natural dyes - free and readily available - to color their materials. Rug-hooking was a family activity. “Chiidren would cut the strips of cloth for their mothers and grandmothers to hook,” she said. “Even men got in the act, by making the rug hooks and frames.” Designs are drawn on the backing. In those early days, they often commemorated milestones - anniversaries, birthdays, graduations and so forth. “The proportions weren’t always true-to-life,” Miller said. “The things that were most important tended to be the largest.” The backing is secured tightly in a frame, then the hooking is done by using a rug hook (like a big crochet hook) to draw thin strips of fabric (or roving) through the fabric from the underside, forming loops on the top surface. Miller said. Once the hooking is finished, the edges are bound and stitched to the underside and the rug is done. Miller’s small studio, in an alcove off the family room, is a study in efficiency. Shelves of wool and yarn in traditional colors line one wall. A center table is set up for hooking frames and stretching finished pieces. Equipment is stored in drawers and cupboards and more shelves. The entire operation, from tending the animals and using their coats for her spinning and rug-hooking, to selling the products and teaching classes so that she can afford to tend the animals, is a good example of the kind of self-sustaining circular undertaking that is rarely seen in contemporary life. “I guess it is a circle, all right,” Miller said. “I started the rug-hooking classes to make money to feed the goats.” Miller teaches classes and seminars, as well as selling her finished pieces at various fairs and shows, and is a member of a rug-hooking group - Thrums and Chums - that meets on the third Saturday of the month, 10 a.m.-l;30 p.m., at the First Baptist Church in Howell. The group is open to anyone interested in rug-hooking, from novices to experts. Miller said. “We’re a varied group, with different styles and encompassing different ages. We really have a good time.” For information on classes or the rughooking group, send e-mail to Miller at spruceridge@sbcglobal. net. BALLOONFEST FROM B1 W e a t h e r d e t e r m i n e s i f b a l l o o n s w i l l l a u n c h “We count on volunteers fi’om the community,” he said at a recent training session. Stephan has piloted hot air balloons as far away as St. Wolfgang, Austria, where “The Sound of Music” was filmed. Stephan says the balloonfest may not be staged in the idyllic Austrian Alps, but nonetheless “provides an atmosphere of fun and excitement.” Stephan says ballooning isn’t a cheap sportv^^it’s comparable- ' to boating, it’s relatively expensive,” he says. Costs run $25,000-$35,000 for the basic equipment, and propane gas costs about $30-$35 per run. Ballbon launches are heavily weather-dependent, and will not take place if thunderstorms are in the area or if wind speeds are above 12 to 15 miles per hour. In fact, an ideal wind is 5 to 6 miles per hour, Stephan said. “Two to three hours between sunrise and sunset, that’s when we fly,” said Stephan, because that is when winds tend to be the calmest. Balloon fly-ins take place between 6-8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, and mass balloon launches are scheduled for all three days of the festival between 6-8 p.m., weather permitting. One of the highlights of balloonfest is the Balloon Glow- Slydiving night show, Saturday beginning at dusk. More than 20 balloons will participate in the display, in which pilots inflate their balloons on the ground. Right afterward, The Livingston Community News Skydiving Team will stage a nighttime jump. The skydivers will also present aerial jumps all three days. This is no ordinary slydiving team: They will be dressed as Elvis impersonators, and after landing they take the stage to sing Elvis tunes. Other balloonfest highlights are the arts festival, with more than 200 exhibiting artists and artisans, and the medieval village, staged by the Society for Creative Anachronism. Village “residents” will be decked out in medieval garb and there will be jousting contests, knights in shining armor, dancing, music, displays and demonstrations of arts and crafts from the period. A new event this year will find runners from throughout the state competing in the first Michigan Challenge 5-K Chase, scheduled for 8 a.m. Sunday on the balloonfest grounds. Also new are remote-controlled airplane and car shows Saturday and Sunday, staged by the Hamburg Flyers and RC Cars and Radio Disney - the radio version of the Disney TV channel - which will host interactive events Saturday, with a live performance. From 400 to 500 volunteers have been retained to direct cars to designated parking areas, and it’s a good money-m^er for nonprofit groups - the chamber pays workers up to $24 per shift.

That’s when Ken Bielous and friends gather with their classic cars and tricked-out rides in the parking lot next to the Fowlerville Hardware to show off all their hard work. That’s where visitors will find Marv and Pat Cole of Fowlerville and their 1951 Mercury called The Pink Panther, referring to the car’s powder pink shade of paint. The paw of a three-foot-tall stuffed pink panther is draped over the steering wheel as his other arm A variety of classic cars can be seen in downtown Fowierville every Thursday night from 5:30-8 p.m. this summer. For information, call Ken Bielous at 517-376-2069, COURTESY, STU JACKSON rests on the widow ledge of the driver side door to prove he is one cool cat. Stu and Linda Jackson of Perry will be there in their black 1969 GTO they affectionately refer to as “The Old Goat.” The fact that Stu carries pictures of his “baby” in his wallet, seems to indicate that his feelings take on more of a parental nature. After all, these car owners spent months and sometimes years restoring every detail of their beloved vehicles and then hours every week detailing them inside and out to maintain their showroom appearance. Dedication to their vehicles seems to bond the owners together. During a cruise night, car owners may discuss problems in restoring their vehicles or giving advice to one another. If the cars don’t take you back to another decade, surely the music will. Deejay Dennis Monroe of X20 has been spinning and collecting music since the mid-1960s. “It’s the music they’ll remember,” says Monroe. According to the regulars, it’s the music and a whole lot more. Ask most of the owners who are parked in lawn chairs next to their vehicles and they’ll tell you why they love the cars and the shows. “We’ve been cruisin’ for 52 years. We met when I was the car hop”, said Pat Cole, “and he was the cruiser,” pointing to her husband Marv. “We were both eighteen”, she said. “No, seventeen,” said Marv. “That’ right,” she said. “We got married at eighteen,” they said in unison. “They said it wouldn’t last, but we showed ‘em,” she said with a laugh. One of the regulars at the weekly gatherings is Don Toomey, who brings out his 60- something Studebaker. Monroe said Toomey showed up at every car show last year with a different car. “He must have 30 of them,” he speculated. Along with the excitement of Toomey’s new ride every week, Ken and Lisa Bielous, who organize the event have gathered a long list of sponsors who provide a wealth of prizes for the drawings that take place about every 10 minutes. Patrons can also purchase 50- 50 raffle tickets. Dinner is available from the Bielous’ Whenever Weinies wagon, where there are plenty of hot dogs, brats, chips and cold drinks.

COURTESY, AMY MAUER S c ie n c e O l y m p i a n s s u c c e s s fu l Fowlerville students win Ist-place, medals BY LAURIE HUMPHREY News Special Writer As the school year comes to an end at Fowlerville Junior High, so does the reign of a championship Science Olympiad team - at least until next year when a new 30-member group can compete for the top spot. This year’s group took first place at regionals, and won four team medals at a recent state competition, landing a 21st-place finish out of 48. “That is the best we’ve ever done,” said Amy Maurer, Fowlerville Junior High science teacher and Science Olympiad co-sponsor, choosing to focus on the group’s steady improvement rather than their second triumph over rival, Scranton Middle School in Brighton. She credits the club’s success to the parents, the coaches, but mostly to the students, two groups of 15, which make up teams “A” and “B.” The parents are not only re sponsible for transporting students to two competitions, but they also pick children up from school after practices. Additionally, parents allow team equipment to be built and stored at their homes. “We are improving because of those parents who help us ... because of all the support they offer,” Maurer said. Some parents also coach events, which frees Maurer and her club co-sponsor and colleague Bobbie Sue Adams to assist students who need additional help. “There is no way we could be successful sponsors and coach 23 events,” Maurer said. Parents of current and former Science Olympiad students, as well as community members who are simply devoted to student improvement, coach the events. The biggest component of a successful team, says Maurer, is the students. “This is a big time commitment for them (each week,)” she said, citing a minimum three-day practice schedule December- April. As a result, the group typically loses a few students after several 45-minute practices. “The students who (remain) are pretty motivated and interested in science,” Maurer said of the diverse group. At state competition, each 15-member team must include five students from 7th, 8th and 9th grades. She is not bothered by the mandate of young players on her teams, however, pointing out that three seventh-graders earned medals at the state tournament. “The seventhgraders earn their spot,” she said. Chris Marston , a seventhgrader from Fowlerville, and his ninth-grade partner, Nathan Parker, won third place in the heredity event. The duo placed highest for the local “A” team. A “B” team also competed at the state competition, but was not scored. “My goal was “to get a medal,” said Marston, who was inspired to join Science Olympiad “because my brother was in it and had a lot of fun.” In comparison, Parker, 15, “joined Science Olympiad because I love learning about science.” He added that many friends are also team members. Marston, 12, already is looking forward to next year’s competitions and setting goals, while Parker is saying goodbye to competition. “I don’t really know if I will be competing next year because there is not a Fowlerville High School team. If I wanted to do it, I would have to start the team by myself or with help from my fi’iends,” said Parker. The junior high team, which was created in 1990, has competed for nine years.

Instead, Mark Carrow will be busy elsewhere this weekend - trying to lead his Brighton baseball team to its first state championship. “This screws (my plans) up nicely,” said Carrow, who is retiring after 34 seasons as Brighton’s coach and moving to Florida. Carrow’s Bulldogs play Detroit U-D Jesuit (24-13) in a Division I state semifinal at 4 p.m. today at Nichols Field in Battle Creek. The winner will face either Grosse Pointe North (36-1) or Bay City Western (32-8-1) in the finals at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. The Bulldogs (33-4) celebrated hard after their 6-1 state quarterfinal victory over Ann Arbor Huron in Chelsea earlier this week. They gathered for pictures. They doused assistant coach George Reck in water. But there’s more work to be done. This is Brighton’s first trip to the semifinals since 1998. The Bulldogs have never advanced to the find game. “We want to do it for coach. But the nine seniors, we want to do it for ourselves, too,” said senior pitcher TYoy Line, who has allowed just one run and eight hits in Brighton’s last two wins. “We hope to take it past where Brighton has never b ^ n . It would be great to do it in his last season.” Senior first baseman Paul DuPond added: “We just want to step up for coach and win it.” If anybody deserves a championship, it’s Carrow. If life and sports were fair, he would have won one already. He’s had great teams before. He does things the right way. He preaches fundamentals. He’s well respected among his coaching peers around the state. He has fun with his players while teaching them the hard lessons of life, like working hard, discipline and teamwork. He’s dedicated his life to molding Brighton’s young athletes into better players and better people. Win or lose this weekend. Carrow said he’ll walk away with a smile on his face. “I’m the luckiest coach in the state to have these Mds as my final team,” he said Tuesday. “They are a joy to coach. They are special, not because they win. I would love to coach them if they were 5-30.” The Bulldogs don’t plan on losing. They’ve played their best baseball the past two weeks. Against Huron, they made two errors, but they also made the play of the game by throwing a runner out at second base to halt a potential rally. Brighton’s bats broke the game open in the top of the fifth wito two outs. After senior second baseman Ryan Emmorey drilled a triple off the outfield wall, senior catcher Cam Mueller lined an RBI single to left. After a walk, senior shortstop Jeff Hollister’s single allowed Mueller to beat a throw to the plate. TWo errors, a wild pitch and senior outfielder Jake Thompson’s RBI single eventually built a comfortable 6-0 lead. “We’ve got to keep pla)dng like we’ve been playing the last month or so,” Mueller said. “If we get the timely hitting and pitching, (winning) will take care of itself. All season we’ve had the attitude that we will win.” Carrow has rested one of his top arms, junior lyier Loehr, for the weekend. The stars just might be aligning to deliver him a happy ending. “I couldn’t ask for a better situation heading into the tournament,” he said. “It’s going to take a good team to beat us.” A championship sure would make the long retirement drive to Florida seem a lot shorter. Aching legs, but plenty o f family fiin Hershey's Track & Field Games draws more than 25 0 children BY JASON DEEGAN News Staff Reporter Alex Palazzolo dragged himself into the recovery tent at the Brighton High School track. The 7-year-old from Brighton had just finished his heat of the 200-meter dash at the local qualifier for the Hershey’s Track & Field Games run by the Southeast Livingston County Recreation Authority. Palazzolo and his new friends were trading stories about whose legs were more tired. “My legs are still aching,” Alex moaned. “I can’t feel mine,” his friend countered. No matter how difficult the race, area children continue to flock to participate in the annual meet. More than 250 Brightonarea children, ages 5-14, participated June 9 in one of Hershey’s largest local qualifiers. The Howell Parks & Recreation Department will have its qualifier June 16. Winners from both meets in the 9-14 age groups advance to the state meet July 7 in Holt. “This is a fun day for the family,” said Jeff Muck, SELCRA’s recreation supervisor. “It’s a great way to expose kids to track and field.” Many of the young racers, jumpers and throwers are learning the fundamentals of track and field for the first time. Many children quit before the finish line. Most runners toss glances at their opponents, instead of focusing on the finish line. Those who ignore their surroundings and push from beginning to end usually succeed. Collin Dembeck, 9, of Brighton, showed perfect form in winning his 50-meter dash. He said he trained with his dad and brother to prepare for his third Hershey’s. “Running is fun,” he said. “It gets you energized.” Cayla Watkins, 11, who will be a sixth-grader at Scranton Middle School, won the 200-meter dash for her age group with SEE TRACK, C2 JIM JAGDFELD, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The start of a heat in the 50-yard dash.

Before that, he ran a successful junior golf program for the city of Ann Arbor at the Leslie Park and Huron Hills golf courses. Hawker, a former all-stater at Hartland, led the Hartland boys golf program for several years before handing the reigns to It will operate under the umbrella of the Livingston County Junior Golf Association they’ve also created. There are plenty of avenues for good players to compete during the summer, but Oake said this new tour will cater to a diverse audience. “We would really like to get kids involved in competitive golf not travel around the state. We want kids to test their skill and play courses in their backyards. We want our high school golf programs to benefit by the time they are high-schoolers.” Hawker, more than anybody, understands the needs for a deeper talent pool of players. His Eagles often had the firepower at the top of the lineup to in the world,” he said. “It happens so often - that fifth-man, that sixth-man score - it’s the difference between winning and losing.

It costs $50 to sign up and $30 per C2 THE L IV IN G S TO N C O M M U N IT Y NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 2006 SAIL FROM Cl N o v i c e s t a k e t o t h e w a t e r , l e t t h e w i n d c a t c h t h e i r s a i ls f o r t h e f i r s t t im e No sailing or boat experience is necessary to participate in level 1 sail lessons that include a two-hour boat introduction, six hours of shore school and 14 hours on the water. “If you want to get into sailing, this is the way to do it. We have a lot of safety aspects in place that allow you to learn how to handle a boat well,” said South Lyon resident Don Anderson, ASI president. “You don’t have to get dumped in the water 50 times to consider yourself a sailor.” The program is designed for students to learn seamanship and boating safety, and to develop nautical skills in an enjoyable, safe, hands-on educational environment. Learning to sail involves learning to handle boats and sails, docking, maintenance, and navigation. “We always thought it would be a fun thing to do,” said Jim Drolet, who traveled from Clarkston with his wife, Anne, for sailing lessons. “This way (ASI club lessons) seems to be a very good way to approach it. You don’t have to purchase a boat first.” An ASI instructor remains in the boat during the entire lesson. “The instructor will take the boat away from the dock,” Anderson explained, “but then each student will have a chance at the tiller during the on-water lesson time.” While on the water, students learn to tack (turning about with the wind in front of the boat) and jibe (turning when the wind is behind the boat). “A lot of students don’t turn far enough to let the wind touch the sail on the other side,” said Anderson, who is also a 30-plus year instructor. “I didn’t realize a sail acts more like an airplane’s wing,” Drolet noted as his sailing lessons progressed. Once the land and water instruction is completed, students can practice their sailing skills with any other ASI rated sailor I N B R I E F Fund-raising hoops tourney coming The third annual “Hoops in the ‘Ville” basketball to u rn a ment sponsored by the Fowlerville Athletic Boosters is set for July 29 at Fowlerville High School.

The club Web site hooks up new sailors with experienced, rated sailors for practice sessions. “It usually takes four to five practice sessions to pass the test,” explained Anderson. “Students can sail as much as they want with a rated sailor until they feel confident.” Once certified, level 1 sailors have unlimited use of the 18-foot Interlake sailboats docked season- long at Kensington’s East Boat Launch. The new skippers can enjoy the pleasures of sailing with a friend or fellow sailor. “There’s nothing like the wind catching your sails. It’s so quiet,” said Anderson, an ASI member since 1969. “I’ve always liked the water and being outside in the sunshine. I can spend all day in a sailboat. It’s more of a challenge than a motorboat.” The American Sailing Institute (ASI) is a southeast Michigan nonprofit organization that began in the early 1960s. Its purpose is to promote safe sailing through education in a fun atmosphere. Members range in age from 18-80 and come from all walks of life. The 200-plus club members have to help maintain the club boats as well as fulfill a volunteer requirement on a yearly basis. Anderson has these final words of advice for new sailors, “Always keep the wind at your back, stay on the high side of the boat and always hold on to the boat with one hand.” TRACK FROM Cl A c h i n g l e g s d o n ' t d e t r a c t f r o m t r a c k & f i e l d e v e n t ease.

A7 I N B R I E F Genoa Twp. plan calls for'town center' The Genoa Township board approved an update to the township master plan at its meeting this week. The main feature of the updated plan is provision for a “town center” in a township that currently lacks one. The town center would include a mixture of retail stores, homes and townhouses. Some of the stores would be similar to nearby Brighton’s Crosswinds Communities development, which incorporates some live-work units where the owner has a business on the first floor and lives above it. In th e Genoa Township varia tion, the second floor could be e ith er residential or office space. The town center development would simulate a trad itio n a l downtown, and would incorporate Victorian a rch ite c tu re . The idea b e hind it is to have a dense, pede strian-friendly downtown- type a re a with stores, homes, sidewalks and even alleys. The development would be located at Dorr Road and Grand River Avenue, where History Town was formerly located. The site is presently vacant. Other aspects of the updated master plan include minor zoning and other changes.

That’s all over now, as the way is clear for the township to begin an improvement project on its six-mile portion of the linear park in July. “That’s wonderful news,” Pine said. “Things are finally moving, and that’s a very good position to be in.” A bid only 0.15 percent above the township’s $1.6 million budget for trail improvements was awarded to Mason’s Causie Contracting Inc. by the state Department of Transportation on June 2. The job will be supervised by the Livingston County Road Commission. Launched nearly three years ago by Pine’s predecessor, Howard Dillman, the project includes a paved pedestrian lane. a turf lane for horses, trailheads at Merrill and Pettysville roads and a pedestrian tunnel under M-36 near Pettysville Road. Bypass lanes will route drivers around the M-36 tunnel construction, so the highway won’t ever be completely closed. Pine said. Hamburg jumped at the opportunity in July 2003 when the state Department of Natural Resources said it no longer could staff or maintain the Lakelands 'frail, which follows a former railroad bed through the woods and farmlands of southern Livingston County. The DNR asked local governments to lease from them the portion of the trail that passes through their boundaries and take over the job. Dillman secured a trail lease and a $1.23 million federal transportation enhancement grant, a $150,000 DNR grant, an $111,000 Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan grant and township funds for improvements. l ^ e n he left office in November 2004, Pine took over the responsibility to get the job done. She had to get an easement from Owosso’s friscola-Saginaw Bay Railroad so the trail could cross a still-active rail line near Zukey Lake. She had to negotiate easements with owners of private property through which the trail nms, she had to get numerous permits, supervise land acquisition, communicate with many government agencies and keep the grant funding secure through the delays each step brought about. “There were a lot of brick walls and times that I felt like I was getting nowhere,” Pine said. “I was like the cheerleader trying to get everybody to the end zone.” The only glitch in the process SEE TRAIL, A2 Balloonfest begins today Activities planned in the air and on the ground through Sunday BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter An estimated 100,000 people are expected for the 22nd annual Michigan Challenge Balloonfest, which gets under way today and runs through Sunday at the Howell High School campus. Balloonfest director Michelle Tokan of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, which coordinates the event, says 54 pilots from six states - Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee - will compete in the state championship of hot-air ballooning, with up to five flights if the weather allows. Howell Mayor Geraldine Moen calls Balloonfest a “huge event. I love the whole Balloonfest,” Moen says. Although weather has often canceled flights and always has been a question mark for the Balloonfest, Moen says in the final analysis it doesn’t matter. “We always find ways to have fun,” she says. The competition involves using air currents to maneuver the balloons to toss numbered markers called “baggies” out of the balloons at a target. The winner is the one who gets the SEE BALLOONFEST, A2 JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE Sarah Johnson of Howell is a new balloon pilot who will compete in the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest chief is husband Mark Johnson.

Young farmer also a leader 26-year-old Iosco man works to keep younger generation involved in farming BY LEANNE SMITH News Staff Reporter Will Schmidt considers himself pretty lucky to be a fulltime farmer. “I like the independence,” the 26-year-old Iosco Township resident said. “I like seeing what needs to be done and hitting it head-on to see the Schmidt also is wise enough to know that the number of young farmers is dwindling, but h e ’s willing to apply the same kind of effort to help tackle that issue, too. “It’s important for farmers of our generation to keep ourselves known publicly,” he said. “People need to know we’re still here. There are young people farming today.” Schmidt is chairman of the Livingston County Farm Bure au ’s Young Farmer program, which helps develop leadership in farm men and women ages 18 to 35, and he’s farmers in the state Farm Bure au ’s Institute for Leadership Education.

Other factors considered are steering, weather conditions and altitude. Balloon fly-ins will take place 6-8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, and mass balloon launches are scheduled for tonight, Saturday and Sunday between 6 and 8 p.m., w eather permitting. One of the balloonists who will be competing is Howell resident Sarah Johnson, who works at MacDonald’s Flineral Home in Howell. Sarah and her husband, ! Mark Johnson, airport manager at Spencer J. Hardy Liv- . ingston County Airport, met af- * ter he and three friends started * the “Hot Air Balloon Club.” She I signed up as the fifth and final ► member, and the rest, as they ' say, is history: The couple has ' been married for a year and a : half. ' Sarah Johnson describes the r times when she is up in the balloon as her most carefree. “It’s awesome; there is no way to describe it,” she says. “I could have the worst day of my life, and if I end it with a flight, it makes it a good day. It gives you a feeling of euphoria.” “It’s something we both enjoy, and it takes a lot of teamwork,” says her husband, who will be crew chief when Sarah takes flight this weekend. Sarah Johnson says the couple approaches flying a hot air balloon differently. “(Mark) likes to look more at the countryside, and I’m more geared to the competition,” she says. Observers say Sarah Johnson has an innate ability when it comes to ballooning. “My husband (veteran balloon pilot Brian Prokuda) says she’s a natural,” says Kellie Prokuda of Deerfield Township. “She’s very steady and consistent.” Brian Prokuda says balloonists are like one big, happy family- “I enjoy the competitive aspects, but the primary reward is the friendships you develop,” says Prokuda, one of the pilots competing in Balloonfest and owner of Keweenaw Power Systems. Other Howell-area balloonists taking part in the competition besides Prokuda and Johnson are Phil Glebe, Jan Knight, Denny McGuire, Ken Meyer, Paul Petrehn and J e rry and Daria Stephan. In addition to the balloon flights, festival activities include the Wade Show Carnival, an arts festival at the high school complex with works by more than 200 artists and crafts people, and a medieval village featuring contests of skill, music and medieval craft demonstrations by folks in medieval attire. Pilots will inflate their balloons on the ground during the annual Balloon Glow-Skydiving night show Saturday at dusk. In the “twinkle glow,” balloonists light their balloons one-by-one, creating the effect of giant fireflies illuminating the night. The Livingston Community News Skydiving Team, which performs all three days of Balloonfest, will stage a crowd-pleasing nighttime jump, complete with pyrotechnics. Saint Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Howell will stage Kids Day all day Saturday, with a dog show and dog high-jump contest, family games and entertainment. Sunday will feature the first annual Michigan Challenge 5-K Chase at 8 a.m. over the entire Balloonfest grounds.

H a m b u r g s e le c ts i t s n e w p o l ic e c h i e f 44-year-old captain from Lansing chosen BY L E A N N E S M IT H News Staff Reporter A Lansing police captain will become Hamburg Township’s next police chief. Steve Luciano, 44, accepted a written offer Tuesday from the township’s Board of 'Trustees to fill the post vacated by the retirement of Robert Krichke. Details, including Luciano’s starting date and salary, still need to be finalized, said Supervisor Cindy Pine. “I’m looking forward to working with what I’ve come to know as the fine men and women of this police department,” Luciano said. “This is a great opportunity to do a job I love to do in a great area. I’m looking forward to being your police chief.” Luciano was selected by the board from three finalists who were interviewed by a panel consisting of Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte, Canton Township Director of Public Safety John Santomauro and Farmington Hills Police Chief William Dwyer. “Steve brings good command experience and good supervisory skills to the job,” Pine said. “We’re very happy to have him join our community.” Luciano currently serves as one of two precinct captains in the Lansing Police Department, supervising about 100 officers. Pine said. The township received 60 applications for police chief. The list was pared down to 12 by its public safety committee and each semifinalist was interviewed by a search consultant from Career Directions in Ann Arbor, who recommended the finalists, Pine said. Prior to joining the Lansing force, Luciano worked for the Delhi Township and DeWitt police departments. Krichke retired as Hamburg’s police chief in April after 21 years of service. Lt. Brian De- Noyer has been serving as interim chief since his departure.

A two-thirds mile gap there was approved by MDOT, Pine said. Asphalt and supply costs also climbed during the delays, so plans to pave the Pettysville Road trailhead and construct restrooms there also were scrapped, she said. “Everything was worth it,” Pine said. “This trail will be the spine for the township’s future greenways plan. We will connect other pedestrian trails to it and make it easier for people to use it. We look forward to seeing more kids and families riding on bikes than riding in vans.” Pinckney and Putnam and Unadilla townships are just as eager to get to work on improvements to their portions of the trail, but to date have been unable to reach lease agreements with the DNR.

P in c k n e y d is t r ic t a p p ro v e s b u d g e t From News staff reports Pinckney Community Schools has approved a nearly $39.6 million budget for 2006-07. As predicted earlier by district officials, savings in employee health insurance costs helped keep programs and staffing intact. Insurance costs did increase by about 7 percent, or $80,00, said Linda Moskalik, assistant superintendent of finance and operations. Had the district not switched away finm the Michigan Education Special Services Association, an insurance provider operated by the statewide IVIichigan Education Association union, to a less costly provider, the increase would have been about 10.7 percent, or between $340,000- $350,000, she said. The budget also accounts for a 3 percent increase in building supply accounts, which have not seen increases since 2001-02, Moskalik said.

FARMER FROM M S c h m i d t s t u d i e s i e g i s i a t i o n young farmers,” said Stacey Coddington, a Livingston County Farm Bureau board member and Michigan Young Farmer Committee member. “He’s always willing to accept responsibility. You don’t have to follow behind him and tell him what to do. He just does it.” Schmidt assists Roy DeGroot in the management of Iosco Township’s VernDale Farms, a 600-acre crop and livestock operation owned by Detroit’s VernDale Products Inc., a manufacturer of roller processed whole milk powder primarily used to make chocolate. He also helps with DeGroot’s own 16-acre u-pick strawberry patch on the farm. “It’s hard to find anyone young and responsible th at’s interested in farming,” DeGroot said. “He’s got good mechanical skills and he’s eager.” Schmidt is the third oldest of eight children raised on a family dairy farm in Rothbury, north of Muskegon. Children today can’t expect their parents to just pass along the family farm to the next generation, he said. “It’s their retirement,” Schmidt said. “It’s all they have. They just can’t give it away anymore. When you’re young and you want to buy them out, it takes a lot of money and a bank willing to loan it to you. That’s hard.” After high school, Schmidt left his family’s farm to become a representative for Bay Citybased Maple Lane Ag-Bag, a company that sells air-tight plastic tubes that replace traditional feed storage silos. At VernDale Farms, Schmidt plows and cultivates the corn and soybean fields, cares for crops and hogs, harvests crops and helps maintain equipment. Someday, he’d like to have his own animal farm on the side. To keep up with the industry, he studies state agriculture legislation, discusses farming issues with state leaders and encourages more young farmers to get involved with programs that can help them survive. “The farmers that will m ake it are the ones that are best able to prepare for the future,” he said.

JAMIE CHARBf-NbAU-PISELLA,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Budget knife sharpened With hefty deficit looming, Howell schools may face cuts BY CASEY HANS News S ta ff Reporter More budget cuts are likely to be made as Howell Public Schools officials work to find $2.34 million to balance a $65.5 million budget for the coming fiscal year. And the following year officials forecast a deficit twice that size in a year the district is supposed to open a second high school. School administrators Monday presented a list of possible revenue boosters and budget cuts that may be used to balance the budget - but still without information from the state as to how much the district will receive in per-pupil state aid which makes up more than 90 percent of its budget. Associate Superintendent for Finance Rick Terres said the state budget situation remains in shambles. “It will simply catch up with them,” he said. “Somebody, something, has got to fix this problem.” The Howell school board will have its annual budget hearing and will consider voting on the final budget on Monday during the board’s regular meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. It will be at the district’s central office, 411 N. Highlander Way, Suite D, between Grand River Avenue and M-59 in Howell. Slightly more than $1 million of the shortfall may be covered by an expected savings in health care expenses and a projected increase in per-pupil state aid, which officials hope may be upwards of $230 per student - though that is not certain. The remaining $1.3 million would include budget cuts of several staff positions lost to attrition, the retirement of nine longtime employees by the fall and replacing them with entry-level staff. Some of the more visible ideas being considered by the district: ■ Reducing the school year by 10 days, which would add about 16-18 minutes per school day and save the district an estimated $150,000 in busing and fuel costs. ■ Increasing high school student parking fees by $25 to $75 to bring in an additional $15,000. ■ Charging parking fees for special events at the schools, expected to bring in $5,000. ■ Cutting Saturday athletic transportation, expected to save the district $40,000. ■ Reducing custodian time to save $90,000. The district already cut the custodian staff by 20 percent during the current fiscal year. ■ Reducing meals and coffee served at events and meetings, saving $15,000. ■ Increasing facility use fees including charging for use of athletic fields and the Howell High School football stadium, expected to bring $20,000 in revenues. In addition, the district is expected to have an energy audit conducted to find ways to save utility costs, which could include putting sensors on lights to help save electricity. The district also has proposed cutting school supply and conference and mileage budgets for the year and limiting the number of photocopies made at individual buildings. Plans still include delaying the opening of Parker High School and putting $100,000 of the planned funds to open the school back into the budget for other programs. Terres said the district is expecting 100 students more in the coming year, retirement cost increases of 17.75 percent, step wage increases for staff as negotiated in collective bargaining agreements and utility and fuel costs both increasing by 15 percent. He said that through the coming fiscal year, the Howell district will have seen $8.75 million in reductions and is projecting another $5.37 million deficit in the 2007-08 school year. Officials remain concerned about many economic unknowns, including the expected decline of hourly wages in the auto industry, which will affect both income and sales taxes, which fund public schools, Terres said. The demise of the state’s Single Business Tax leaves a $1.8 billion gap for which the state legislature has yet to find a funding source; Terres said that bodes poorly for school funding. And all that is known about fuel and utility costs, he said, is that they will likely continue to rise. “It’s just a crystal ball,” said Terres. “Now it’s anybody’s game.” Other concerns include a county that has some 5,715 housing units planned and another 7,249 proposed, but an economy that may not allow some of them to be built - leaving local growth communities such as those serving the Howell school district in an unsure state about property tax revenue. “Many of our constituents have yet to understand how dire these circumstances are,” said Superintendent Chuck Breiner. “We’re now going to see the pain get more significant.” R e a c h C a s e y H a n s a t c h a n s@ liv in g s to n c o m m u n ity n e w s .c om o r a t 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 0 5 .

Student clubs' flags removed T h e / l l b e ( d is p la y e ( d o n l y a t m e e t i n g s By CASEY HANS News S ta ff Reporter Two student club flags that have been the center of community debate will be removed from display in the public hallways a t Howell High School, with their future use relegated to classrooms during club meetings. In a statement released Monday, Howell Public Schools officials said the flags representing the school’s Diversity Club and Traditional Values Club would be taken down “within the coming week.” Some opponents have labeled the diversity “rainbow” flag a gay pride flag, while others have said the traditional values flag - put up in recent weeks - is actually a Christian flag. Superintendent Chuck Breiner and other officials have defended the right of both flags to hang in the school. The elected school board has never taken action in the matter. Monday’s decision was made following an e-mail poll of Howell High School teachers and discussion with members and advisers of both clubs, Breiner said. “We have always felt this was a Howell High School issue. It (the decision) was totally driven a t the high school.” Teachers were given four options of dealing with the flags: Leave them up in their cu rren t locations; take them down entirely; remove them but allow the clubs to store and use them at meetings; or redesign and rehang the flags. Breiner said the third option was favored by most teachers. Although the school sta te ment said that the change “brings to a close a longstanding politic about the intent and purposes of the flags’ display,” Breiner acknowledged Monday th a t people would continue to talk about it. “It will continue to be a topic of discussion ... and debate,” he said. Andrew Cureton, the district’s National Merit Scholar who graduated with the class of 2006 and helped form the Traditional Values Club, said he was glad for the district’s action. “I’m thankful th a t the administration finally made the right decision,” he said. “We need to leave politics behind us.” Cureton said the district now should “stay focused on educating the students.” He said he does not think the district should allow club flags to hang in the schools in the future. “It only causes controversy,” he added. Cathy Capy, a Howell High School teacher and adviser for the Diversity Club, said re moving the diversity flag does not bother her. “I feel that the flag being removed is fine,” she said. “The whole point of the flag was to help promote tolerance of all forms of diversity. “I think in some small way, it has done th a t and whether the flag still hangs th ere or not, it has done a lot of good to continue this very important conversation in our community.” She said students have discussed creating a new flag and also have talked about selling the old flag to raise money to be used for a future diversity program for the school. Vicki jyke, a spokeswoman for the Livingston Organization for Values in Education group th a t rallied against the diversity flag, called the decision sound. “I’m glad they’re (flags) coming down; it’s been way too long,” Fyke said Tuesday. “We never made this about intolerance of homosexuality. We ju s t said for children age 13 to 17 th a t it (hanging the rainbow flag) was not appropriate.” Breiner said the district re mains committed to its diversity resolution, adopted by the school board in 2003.

For six years, board members have considered eliminating kindergarten aides to trim about $31,000 in expenses, only to take the item off the table during discussion. The tide turned Tuesday night when the layoffs were approved as part of ^ a $400,000 reduction package in- * tended to balance the district’s $24 million budget for 2006-07. “This is a very serious situa- “ tion,” said kindergarten teacher Debbie Hill. She stressed the importance of the kindergarten aides, who spend two hours each day in the cl^srooms. Hill warned of the financial and educational consequences if they were let go. “Our aides are there (at the beginning of a school year) so we can do one-on-one assessments” to determine where the students are on letters, sounds and concepts of print, said Hill. She claimed the 20-minute assessment of more than 200 kindergarteners could take days. “It’s cheaper to pay them than subs,” she said. Hill also was concerned about the potential slide in student achievement if aides cannot continue to help with literacy centers. “There is no way I can run four centers (i.e. reading, writing) on my own,” she said. “If we don’t have these aides in our classroom, at least for that first hour of the day, I don’t know what we’re going to do ... That’s why we got an ‘A’ (on the state report card) in our building.” Board members sympathized, but ultimately said they are ruled by the bottom line. “Because we have been going through this process (making cuts) for years, the frills are gone, and now we’re talking about people,” said President Bill Call. “But I hope this is not interpreted as we don’t think these people are valuable.” “Every cut we make now has direct access to the kids,” added Vice President Jeff Limonoff. Board Member Laura Prochnow stood with her colleagues, but encouraged everyone to seek alternatives. She suggested limiting each aide’s time to one hour in the classroom, or squeezing money from other line items. At the very least, she asked that the aides be considered for reinstatement in August once the district has a better idea of potential carry-over funds from the 2005-06 budget. Superintendent Ed Alverson admitted the board would be better situated to add the positions back following the district’s July audit. Other cuts approved in the budget: ■ Supply-equipment accounts: $108,000. ■ Recreation supplement: $ 10,000. ■ Decrease number of students at Renaissance High School: $25,000. ■ Eliminate Life Skills course at Munn Middle School: $60,000. ■ Eliminate one counseling position through attrition: $60,000. ■ Eliminate one custodial position through attrition: $57,000. ■ Eliminate adult education: $50,000. S c h o o ls a v o id la y o f fs b u t m o r e c u ts c o m in g Boarcd approves ,$54.7 million buidget IB Y L IS A C A R O L IN , News S taff Reporter The good news for the Brighton school district is that a budget has been approved for the 2006-07 school year without any layoffs or cuts to core programs. The bad news is that more cuts are on the horizon for next year. The $54.7 million budget for the new school year is about $960,000 more than the past year’s budget. New Superintendent Jim Craig, who has been the district’s assistant superintendent for finance, said the revenue was based on per-pupil funding that is projected to rise $225 in 2007, fi’om $7,031 to $7,256. That funding still needs approval fi'om the state Legislature next month. Craig also predicted an enrollment decline of 50 students, based in part on St. Patrick’s Catholic School expanding its elementary school program. That would take fall enrollment fi’om 7,163 in 2005 to 7,113. Close to 5 percent of students enrolled in the Brighton school district are school-of-choice students who come from outside the Brighton district. The new teacher contract will increase expenditures $777,000 because of the two-year, 2.25 percent wage increase retroactive to the 2005-2006 school year. The contract also will cost the district an additional $176,000 in health insurance costs. Craig said that 86.5 percent of the budget goes toward wages and benefits and that other expenditure increases include natural gas, fuel for vehicles, and electricity. This is the fourth year that expenditures have exceeded revenues, in 2007 by $1.96 million. which will reduce the fund balance to just more than $700,000, 1.25 percent of expenditures, an amount that Craig says is too low. He says he would prefer to see the fund balance reflect at least 5 percent of expenditures. Some school district keep a 10 percent fund balance. The school board unanimously approved the 2006-07 budget 6-0, with Board Member Miles Vieau absent. Hamburg officer to get back pay Reinstated policeman to receive almost $81,000 in compensation BY L E A N N E S M IT H News Staff Reporter Hamburg Township officials will give more than three years of back pay and benefits to a fired police officer they reinstated this spring. Brandon Bullock, 35, will receive almost $81,000 in lost wages, overtime, holiday pay and other miscellaneous expenses in a settlement that was approved Tuesday by the township’s Board of Ti-ustees. Bullock went back to work as a Hamburg police officer in early J^ril after township officials voted in March to accept a Michigan Court of Appeals order to reinstate him to the police department. Bullock was suspended without pay in August 2002 and later dismissed in response to an offduty incident near his home in Fowlerville at the time. The incident involved a 20-year-old friend who had been drinking and later was involved in a motorcycle crash. Bullock later testified he thought the friend was of legal drinking age. Bullock was charged with “aiding and abetting a failure to report an accident,” a misdemeanor. He drove to the scene of the accident, loaded the motorcycle onto his truck and drove the friend and his female passenger to their homes. Township officials had disputed Bullock's claims that he advised the couple to report the accident to police. An investigation by Michigan State Police and a review by the Livingston County Prosecutor's office resulted in a citation for impeding traffic and a $175 ticket for Bullock. The Michigan Court of Appeals unanimously ordered in February that Bullock be reinstated, affirming arbitrator Stanley Dobry’s February 2004 reinstatement ruling. Dobiy said that while Bullock’s conduct was improper and violated department rules of conduct, it did not warrant dismissal. The township went to the appellate court after a May 2004 ruling from then-Livingston County Circuit Court Judge Daniel Burress that denied a motion to withdraw the arbitrator's ruling and directed that Bullock’s firing be stricken from his work record after he had completed a sixmonth suspension.

He will be paid $132,500 for the next three years with an annual one-year extension option. He will not get annual raises for the first three years. He will have 20 vacation days a year with no accumulation, and the same paid holidays as other administrators, a total of 12. The contract has not yet been presented to Craig in its final form. Interim superintendent John Hansen stood up and shook Craig’s hand, and then Brighton Craig. Superintendent Jim Hansen took a seat in the audience as a gesture of departure. Craig told the board, “Thank you. This has been a long journey. I’ve grown mentally and emotionally from this. We’re not always going to have everything we want in Brighton, but it is our attitude that will make the difference.” Several board members thanked Hansen for his service. Hansen responded, “I worked for you 73 days. It seemed like more. We completed a contract, hired a superintendent and approved a budget.” Craig’s official start date as superintendent is July 1.

B r ig h to n a c c e le r a te s d o w n t o w n p r o je c t $100,000 OK'd to jump-start marketing, promotion plan BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter The Brighton City Council is putting the city’s financial re sources behind a new downtown marketing and promotion plan so it can get under way quickly. On a unanimous vote, council last week approved a one-time-only appropriation of $100,000 for the Principal Shopping District to jump-start it. “I was happy that all seven of them voted for it and saw the wisdom in (it),” PSD Board Chairman Richard Starnes said this week. The next hurdle for the PSD board is to go before the Brighton Downtown Development Authority where it will request $50,000 per year in funding for the next three years. Since the DDA as currently construed is only allowed to fund brick-and-mortar projects, it would need to amend its operational plan in order to be able to contribute funds to the PSD. Downtown property owners would also contribute to the promotional effort through a special assessment district that would bring in another $78,000 per year. PSD officials acknowledge that $100,000 is a lot of money, but say it would benefit the town as a whole, and not just its downtown. “It’s not seed money, it’s an investment,” Richard Starnes, who heads the PSD board, told council. Starnes said a cohesive, consistent marketing program would increase both commercial and residential property values. City Manager Dana Foster said the city has invested in other special assessment district projects - such as the Challis-Grand River and Cross-Grand River intersection upgrades, although they were bricks and mortar and not something intangible, like advertising. Starnes said “branding” Brighton is critical in creating an image for the marketing campaign. But some on council were initially hesitant to fork over that much money. “I have a hard time justifying the $100,000 for our residents,” said Mayor Pro Tern Ricci Bandkau. Council Member Kathy Jones said she was “sitting on the fence” when she came into the meeting, until she heard Starnes’ presentation. “When I came in here tonight, I had no intention of supporting an investment of $100,000, but I’ve been swayed,” said Council Member Kate Lawrence. “This (PSD board) has done an amazing job in a short period of time,” said Mayor Steve Monet. He pointed out that since the city is in excellent financial shape, with a Triple A bond rating and a $2.3 million fund balance, it can easily handle the one-time allocation. The initial motion by Council Member Jon Tunis, who is also council’s liaison to the PSD Board, would have provided $33,333 per year for three years. However, most council members felt that in order to start a marketing program this fall, when the nearby, 80-store Green Oak Village Place lifestyle mall is scheduled to open at US-23 and Lee Road, the city needed to provide all of the money up-front.

That’s according to a glowing review of Chuck Breiner by the district’s board of education, which released the school chief’s written evaluation Monday night. Breiner was reviewed in closed session of the board several weeks; the closed session was conducted at his request. In the evaluation, Breiner’s job performance was determined to be “exemplary.” “The Howell school system is fortunate to have his strong and steady leadership at this very difficult time in public education,” the report said. It labels him a visionary leader, saying that he is often sought out by other districts and state-level agencies and groups for his expertise and thoughts on high school reform and for bond and millage issues. He also was lauded for keeping the current Parker High School building project on track and within budget and for setting high standards for the district. Keeping in touch with the community was another strength. Mentioned specifically were the exit interviews Breiner conducts with departing high school seniors to learn about their experiences in the district. “We couldn’t be happier with your performance,” said board President Sue Drazic. Outgoing trustee and board treasurer Mike Hall said history in the district will see Breiner as a “legendary” leader. Breiner thanked the board for its vote of confidence, but noted that “this is not a one-man show. “People both in this room and not in this room cany this district day-to-day. These are not easy times to be an educational leader.” Last year, the board extended Breiner’s contract for five years. His salary is $140,000 per year.

Students were chosen by school leaders based on criteria set by Rogers, including having demonstrated exemplary citizenship and academic excellence throughout their high school careers. Rogers presented the medals and certificates at a special ceremony May 12, at the state Capitol in Lansing. I N B R I E F Brighton Township Public input sought on pedestrian paths The Brighton Township Planning Commission will have a public hearing June 26, to re veal its plan for pedestrian pathways to hear what residents have to say about it. There will be a workshop from 6-7 p.m. during which residents can look at the design maps and ask consultants questions followed by a presentation and a question-and-answer period. No action will be taken at the meeting. According to Kelly Mathews, the township planner, the m aste r plan adopted in 2002 identified major roads where pathways were to go on both sides of the street. She says the pathways are to be 10 feet wide, made of asphalt and appropriate for bicycles, pedestrians and other uses. Genoa Township Budget includes 2% raises for officials The Genoa Township board adopted a 2006-07 spending plan of $2.99 million at its meeting this week. The new fiscal year starting July 1 will be only nine months long, because as a new charter township, Genoa Township’s fiscal year will run April 1-March 31 starting next year. Under the new budget, the township’s fund balance will grow from $1.3 million to $1.6 million. Elected officials in Genoa Township will each get a $1,000 raise - or 2 percent - for the shortened fiscal year starting July 1. Supervisor Gary Mc- Cririe’s salary will go from his current $46,500 to $47,500, and Clerk Polly Skolarus and Treasurer Robin Hunt’s pay will increase from $45,000 to $46,500. TVustee Todd Smith objected to the hikes, saying at a time when Michigan’s economy is so poor, a pay increase is not a good idea. The board also approved a $5 per meeting increase for trustees, whose compensation will go to $185 per meeting. Howell School takes action on water easement The Howell school board has authorized condemnation proceedings against property the district needs to run water to the new Parker High School. The property is owned by Marion Oaks LLC, developer of property fronting D-19 that is proposed for development. Associate Superintendent for Finance Rick Terres said the developer is in a dispute over the property with Marion Township but that the district can wait no longer to pursue the easement. “We have been patient as a district sitting on the sidelines,” he said. “We have to move ahead. We have business to conduct.” Resident John Arthur told the board he was concerned over the action saying “eminent domain is ... probably the last thing we should be thinking about” and suggested the district consider well and septic instead of gaining the easement. Terres stressed that the action would not displace any property owner and that the easement would run across property that would not be buildable due to road right-ofway issues. Pinckney Council OKs budget, sets millage rates A nearly $1.2 million 2006-07 general frind budget was approved by the Pinckney Village Council June 12. The coimcil also set the village’s general operation and general highway millage rates for the year at 8 mills and 2 mills, respectively. These are the same millage rates as 2005-06. Village reviewing Rite Aid site plan The site plan for a Rite Aid drug store being proposed in Pinckney will be reviewed by the Village Council at 7:30 p.m. Monday. The village Planning Commission recommended approval of the plan at its June 5 meeting. The 11,180-square-foot store is being proposed for a vacant lot at the comer of East M-36 and Dexter Road. The coimcil meets in Village Hall, 220 S. Howell St. For more details, call 734-878-6206. Putnam Township Budget includes raises for some staff Officials have approved a nearly $1.2 million budget for Putnam Township in 2006-07. The budget provides for no raises for elected officials, but gives 3.5 percent raises to the appointed positions of zoning administrator, deputy treasurer, deputy clerk, receptionist and senior center director. The township’s Board of Trustees also set the 2006-07 general fund, fire department operating fund and fire department capital outlay fund levies at .8915, 1.1923 and .4695 mills, respectively.

Actually, Castaway Cafe co-owner Tracey Grant says the play structure manufacturers tell her it’s the largest indoor play structure in several states. But since she has no hard facts to back it up, she’s playing it conservatively. The Castaway Cafe, which just opened this week, is located on Burkhart Road west of Howell near the Tanger Outlet Mall. “We just thought what an asset to our community this would be,” says co-owner Jim Niles. “We wanted to create a safe environment where parents can relax and the kids can play.” To accommodate smaller children, there is a separate play area for toddlers to 3-yearolds. “We took all the really cool things from the big structure - like Uie suspension bridge - and made them toddler-size,” Grant says. Grant says as the mother of two children, ages 6 and 4, she and her husband were looking for a place where their kids JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLAJHE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Tracey Grant and Jim Niles, two of the three "Castaway Cafe" coowners, with Grant's son, 4-year-old Andrew, show o ff the new indoor play structure area and restaurant in Howell Township. could play safely, particularly given Michigan’s climate, which frequently has weather not conducive to playing outdoors. They got the idea after seeing an indoor play structure while traveling in Texas. Their 10,000-square-foot play space/restaurant represents an investment of $500,000. Grant says the restaurant portion of the business offers a complete menu with several varieties of sandwiches, salads, paninis, pizza, desserts, beverages, smoothies, gourmet coffee, espresso, latte and cappuccino. “It’s not fast food,” Grant says. Customers go to the counter where they order their meal and are given a pager. They either go to their seats or to the play area, and the pager goes off when their meal is ready. Among the many novel features of the play area is the giant ball room with “seven huge balls, five feet high and five feet wide,” and four giant slides. “The top of our structure is over 30 feet high, so when you go up to the top you can wave to your family and friends,” Grant says. There are also cargo net climbs and two horizontal, padded rollers kids can squeeze through. “It’s like a big maze, and kids can work their way into different events,” says Jim Niles, who is Grant’s uncle. The business also has wireless Internet capability and a “dad’s den,” for grownups who would prefer to watch sports on projection TV while their children play. Groups may reserve one of five party rooms for birthday, holiday and other parties. Grant says private parties at Castaway Cafe are already popular, with over 60 booked between now and the end of the year. “I think it will be a success, judging from the response,” Niles says. “We have over 8,000 ‘hits’ on our (Web) site.” The business will be open yearround. Castaway’s rates: Children 3- 12, $6; children 1-3, $3; infants (under 1), parents and adults, free. Special introductory membership offer (threemonth unlimited pass): One child, $65; two children, $95; family, $130. Group rates are also available. Address: 1800 N. Burkhart Road, Howell Township.

The business takes up the first floor of downtown’s newest building, the 14,000-square-foot, two-story Alexander Place. CW Interiors handles decorative furniture, lighting, artwork, mirrors, floral arrangements and other items for the home. Owner Linda Botka has been spending the last several weeks making the move from her former location at 434 W. Main St. to the considerably larger new quarters. Linda and Don Botka bought the property after the building which formerly occupied the site was destroyed in a 1999 fire. For several years, the vacant lot was a downtown eyesore until the Botkas purchased it and made the investment in a new building. Plans are to put a restaurant called “Above Main” on the second floor of the building by this fall. Address: 323 W.

According to co-owners Dan Szymanski and Randy Howell, it’s just another phase in the evolution of the store. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Linda Botka, owner of CW Interiors in downtown Brighton, says she's pleased with the larger quarters at her new location at the corner of Main and Hyne streets. Originally Brighton Stained Glass, for the last few years the business has been BSG Gifts. Under the new format, the store will handle high-end consignment items. Somewhere in Time Consignment, the sister business SzymansM and Howell also own down the street at 120 W Main St., will continue to take and sell consignment goods, with BSG Gifts & Consignment offering the top-of-the-line items and Somewhere in Time the remainder. With the change in focus, the collectible figurines and many other former mainstays of BSG Gifts will no longer be a part of the business. The reason is the change in the economy, with more people looking for bargains, Howell said. Howell and Szymanski will continue to do custom-made stained glass items for windows, doors and other uses, they emphasize. Address: 312 W.

The city already has a tree ordinance, but council member Jon Stoppels said it is inadequate on matters such as clearcutting, protection of large, undeveloped tracts of land and replacement of removed trees. “One of the most unique things about our community is our tree-lined streets,” said Stoppels, who launched the effort to more fully protect the city’s tree cover. “We need to protect our trees better than in the past,” he said. Stoppels cited the Brighton Towne Square development, in which a developer destroyed hundreds of trees, as an example of unnecessary tree-clearing. One thing Stoppels wants to prevent is a recurrence of what happened in adjacent Brighton Township, where some holders of large parcels pre-emptively clear cut large areas last year in order to beat a new township ordinance. Stoppels emphasized that the ordinance he was proposing was only a temporary measure, and that the full-blown ordinance would go through the standard planning commission process with public hearings to aliow proper citizen input, both pro and con. However, that didn’t sway council, which defeated his motion for an emergency ordinance. A subsequent motion to send the proposed ordinance back to the planning commission easily passed. Stoppels was not happy with the decision. “Right now, you don’t have to have a site p lan ... to clear-cut your property,” he said. “If we lose that rural effect, we’re not going to have what we had as an attraction.” But some on council felt that rushing an ordinance through without the usual checks and balances, and bypassing the normal procedures was wrong. “I don’t think Brighton has a problem with trees. I don’t think there has been ciear-cutting to a catastrophic degree, other than one properly that’s very visible out there on (West) Grand River,” said former mayor Kate Lawrence. Lawrence was referring to a property on the banks of Ore Creek, across from Belle Tire, that was clear-cut this spring. “In 20 minutes they destroyed one-and-one-half acres,” Stoppels said. The result, he lamented, was not only loss of tree and brush cover but also soil erosion, with considerable sedimentation runoff into the Mill Pond, and from there into South Ore Creek. As a result, Stoppels said, the city will have to spend $63,000 this summer to dredge the creek where it enters Brighton Lake. Mayor Steve Monet said because the city of just 2.9 miles square is nearing build-out, there’s not much in the way of large tree stands left to cut. “We’re trying to deal with large scale residential and commercial tree-cutting, and frankly, there’s not a lot of that out there,” Monet said. Stoppels said his proposed ordinance has no correlation with the Brighton Township ordinance that was struck down in a voter referendum last November. Residents there felt the ordinance the township passed earlier in the year trampled on private-property rights and compliance would cost even smaU-lot owners too much money. Since that time a committee has met, and is recommending the township tweak the present zoning ordinance, which already addresses tree preservation and clear-cutting, instead of adopting an entirely new set of rules. E t h a n o l g o e s o n s a l e a t 2 a r e a g a s s t a t i o n s Only flexible-fuel vehicles can run on the mixture From News staff reports Two Livingston County fuei stations are now offering E-85, a blend of about 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, which is cleaner-burning than straight gasoline. Tim Corrigan, co-owner of the Corrigan Oil Co. in Brighton, says he began selling E-85 last week at the Corrigan Sunoco station at West Grand River and Liberty Street, across from Amer’s Deli. The other Livingston County fiiling station now offering E-85 is Pettysvilie Junction at Pettysville Road and M-36 in Hamburg Township, to which Corrigan distributes fuel products. Corrigan says his company is encouraging the more than 100 gas stations for which it is the distributor to provide E-85. “We do it to be environmentally conscious, to start fostering and promoting alternative fuels and to have less dependence on foreign oil,” Corrigan says. Corrigan says the conqjany is not making any additional money on E- 85. “It’s awash,” he says. Although the pump price of E- 85 is roughly comparable with, or slightly lower than, gasoline, Corrigan expects it to gradually drop as more ethanol-producing plants in Michigan come on line. One plant, in Caro, is in operation and three more are under construction. He predicts the price of E-85 will drop with the new plants, increasing the supply- T he reason ethanol should be less expensive than gasoline is because it is about 25 percent less efficient. Only “flexible fuel” vehicles can run on ethanol. Most auto manufacturers now offer flexible fuel vehicles.

Who doesn't enjoy the sight of a hot air balloon drifting aloft? RICK FITZGERALD The Livingston Community News H ot a ir balloons seem to appeal to everyone. That’s what makes this weekend’s Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell such a treat. You don’t have to understand the physics of how a 90,000-cubic- foot envelope filled with warm a ir defies gravity to m arvel at the beauty of the multicolored balloons glowing as the sun sets Saturday night. Stephen Donovan, a 13-yearold crew volunteer fi:x)m Howell, thinks hot a ir balloons are just plain cool. He calls going for a balloon ride “the best thing ever imaginable ... it’s like a dream come true.” Believe it or not, Stephen already has been crewing for seven years. That means he was 6 when he started helping out with his dad, who crews for balloon pilot B ill Sterner. Stephen says he started out keeping an eye on the fans that are used to in itia lly inflate the envelope before takeoff. Now he does a little b it of ever3dhing in exchange for the opportunity to get up in the a ir every now and then. The Highlander Way Middle School student recalls th at his firs t flight was when he was 9 years old. H e’s been hooked ever since, although he’s unsure whether he wants to become a balloon pilot. At the other end of the ballooning experience level is Joey Gauthier of Waterford, who’s been piloting balloons for nearly 30 years and has missed only one of all 22 Michigan Challenge competitions. He comes from a family that has eight balloon pilots. He’ll be competing against two brothers and a niece in this year’s Michigan Challenge.

S o m e d is e a s e s m o r e p r e v a l e n t in s u m m e r Rabid bats fo u n d in L iv in g s to n C o u n ty BY LISA CAROLIN News S ta ff Reporter Summer is finally upon us, and along with the sun, warm weather, and multitude of outdoor activities come potential dangers. Diseases such as Lyme Disease, West N ile Virus, and viral meningitis are more prevalent this time of year. Dr. Donald Lawrenchuck, medical director for the Livingston Department of Public Health, says a ll the cases of Lyme Disease diagnosed in Livingston County going back to 2003 have a ll been people who picked up the disease somewhere else. “The incubation period from exposure to the tick averages between 7-10 days,” says Lawrenchuk. “The early symptoms include a low-grade fever and feeling achy and run down. Sometimes a red rash appears. Our recommendation is to see your personal physician whenever you have those warning symptoms because they can be symptoms of a variety of diseases.” Tick habitats include ta ll grasses, woods and wood piles, and wearing long sleeve shirts and long pants is advisable when going into tick habitats as is using insect repellents containing DEET. Lawrenchuck says that although no cases of West Nile Virus have been reported in Livingston County, it is a concern. The mosquito-borne virus can cause encephalitis (inflammation of the b ra in ) or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord.) It is spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito, which became infected by biting a bird that carries the virus. Once the virus is in someone’s bloodstream, it multiplies and may cause illness. It cannot be spread by person-to-person contact. The risk of becoming infected with West N ile Virus is low in general, but higher for people older than 50 or with a compromised immune system. Symptoms can include fever, headache and body aches and sometimes a mild rash or swollen lymph glands. “We encourage anybody who is going to be outdoors for an extended period of time and exposed to mosquitoes to wear protective clothing as well as DEET,” says Lawrenchuk. Another disease that is seen more this time of year is vira l meningitis. Lawrenchuck says that because people are out and about more and have more contact with other people, it is more likely to be spread. The symptoms are much milder than bacterial meningitis for which there is a vaccine. I t ’s an infection of the membranes th at surround the brain and spinal cord, and symptoms include severe headaches, a stiff neck and back, vomiting, sudden fever, irritability, and sometimes a rash. Lawrenchuck says that in 2005, there were 32 cases of viral meningitis reported in Livingston County and one case of bacterial meningitis. He says that frequently washing your hands, covering your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, and not sharing eating utensils and drinking glasses can help prevent viral meningitis. Avian Influenza or bird flu has been in the news a lot this year. According to M a tt Bolang, at the LCDPH, the particular virus that is of global concern, a strain called H5N1, has not been found in the United States in either birds or humans. At this time, that strain of the virus cannot be transmitted from person to person. Humans who have been infected in other parts of the world have been in close contact w ith infected birds or their droppings. The LCDPH asks that residents report dead birds to the department for surveillance by calling 517-552-6871. Lawrenchuck says the most fatal disease known to mankind is the rabies virus, and that there have been positive reports of rabies in bats in Livingston County this year. “Four to five percent of a ll bats in the state of Michigan test positive for rabies, and it is virtu ally a fatal disease in humans,” says Lawrenchuck, who says that it is transmitted through bites. “Raccoons, skunks, dogs and cats can transmit it as well.” Lawrenchuck recommends that anybody who thinks he or she has been exposed to a rabid animal contact the LCPHD as well as a personal physician. There is a vaccine for people who are exposed to a potentially I N B R I E F Brighton sculptor aids in art project A Brighton area artist’s hand w ill be evident in a sculpture project involving the work of members of the Royal Oakbased Boys & Girls Club of South Oakland County. Last weekend, the club, along with BD’s Mongolian Barbeque and the Sauve A rt Foundation, unveiled the “Man in the C ity” sculpture project, which consists of 40 large-scale sculptures created by Boys & Girls Club members over the last year. The project has given club members an opportunity to work with various artists under the direction of John Sauve, the driving force behind the Brighton Biennial sculpture exhibition on display in downtown Brighton. Sauve says the Boys & Girls Club project has served as “the gateway to artistic expression” for a large number of Oakland County area youth. “Whether it’s th ro u ^ painting. sculpture, field trips, creative writing or the media arts, the project helps Boys & Girls Club members with a way to connect with their creativity and their community,” Sauve says. Works created by club members will be exhibited throughout Royal Oak during the Clay and Glass Festival, and then will be moved to various locations throughout the city for viewing during llie next year. Howell foundation awards scholarships The Howell Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation has awarded two M argaret Starkey Scholarships to employees of local businesses. Scholarships were awarded to Ann M arie Hardesty of Brighton and Alana Mclnroy of Howell, who w ill each receive a $1,000 scholarship to fu rther th eir educations. Hardesty and Mclnroy w ill be honored a t the chamber’s Good Morning L ivingston program Sept. 12. Hardesty is a recruiting associate at Cleaiy University, where she is also a student studying human resources. Mclnroy is a manufacturing administration group leader a t Ogihara America Corporation. She attends Lansing Community College where she is studying business. The scholarship is named by the chamber foundation in honor of Starkey, wiio was the chamber’s executive assistant for 35 years. It is awarded annually to working students who best exemplify her outstanding qualities of dedication, enthusiasm, community service and attention to detail. “These students are remarkable women,” said Pat Convery, president of the chamber foundation. “Both of them have overcome adversity to become successful professionals who go above and beyond each day while balancing careers, family and other obstacles as they pursue their education.” The selection committee was made up of Convery, Don Cortez of First Impression Printing & Graphics and chairman of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Charlotte Swann of Smith Barney and member of the chamber foundation board, and Bob Starkey, Margaret Starkey’s grandson and a teacher at Howell High School. rabid animal.

Several balloon pilots prepare their balloons for launch at Howell City Park during last week's preview of the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest. RICK FITZGERALD, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUN ITY NEWS F I T Z G E R A L D F R O M B1 Skydiving Elvises to return guys love ballooning. To quote Stephen Donovan, “I t ’s cool” to float over the tree tops, spot deer dashing in and out of the woods, see people on the ground crane their necks to get a look at you and watch the fading light of a summer day change the colors of the landscape below you. It ’s all of that that makes the annual Balloonfest in Howell such a treat. Even if you never get up in a balloon, there is, indeed, lots to see from the ground. I remember watching for hours last year as the balloon pilots and their crews meticulously prepared th e ir balloons for launch. Seeing a ll those balloons inflate and launch from such a tight area on the Howell High School campus is incredible. Then there’s that balloon glow on Saturday night. And there is more than just balloons. One of the other highlights of the annual event is The Livingston Community News Skydivers, which we are proud to sponsor again this year. What’s not to love about sl^diving Elvises who take the stage for a song or two a fte r getting their feet back on the ground? In addition, there w ill be performances by the Windjammers stunt kite team, a skateboarding exhibition, a classic car show, an arts festival, a medieval village and, of course, a carnival. The fun starts today and runs through Sunday at the Howell High School complex on the west side of Howell along Grand River Avenue. Maybe we’ll see you there.

He and his friend P a tric k Rogowski from H am burg Township liked the Mega Drop and F ire B all rides best. Goselin’s only complaint: ’’Some stuff costs too much money. The games should be $1 not $5.” K ris Forhand, who ran the B ank-a-Ball game, disagreed, and said the games were worth the money because th ere were lots of prizes th a t were easy to win. “You keep h ittin g the rig h t p a rt of the backboard w ith a good flick of the w ris t,” he advised. Joanna Hardesty, Hamburg Township clerk, said she doesn’t know the exact numbers for attendance but th a t somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 people came to the Hamburg Flm Fest. “It was an outstanding success,” H ardesty said, adding th a t the F rid a y night fire works were the biggest draw. “We proved we could a ttra c t fam ilies.” The Flm Fest also included a classic c ar show, an antique fire tru c k show, a motorcycle show, an arts and crafts show, and a b attle of the bands. H ardesty said plans fo r a second H am burg F am ily Flm Fest already are under way. Monica Gorecki of Hamburg Township brought h e r c h ildren to the Flm Fest. “T h e re ’s a nice selection of rides,” she said. Her 8-year-old son Matthew liked the Twister best. “It was my favorite ride, but I got kind of dizzy.” H e r son James, 12, liked the F ire B a ll, and 9-year-old daughter E lizab e th said, “I liked the merry-go-round and the bumper cars best.” T here was a selection of rides fo r younger children in cluding a dragon rid e , a tra in and a racing car ride. Carolyn Gass, 14, of Scio Township sipped a pop following a wild ride on the spinning apples. “My friends made me go on it, and the guy made us stop spinning because we wei:e spinning so fa s t.” H e r sister, Anna, liked the Tw ister best. “I t ’s s u rre a l,” she said with a smile.

About the time M el G illett quit racing in 1978, Dave Kuhlman’s career was just revving up. The two Howell-area men are bonded by the local crew members they’ve shared, like Rusty Fisher, Tom MacDonald and Doug Daniels. They’re also rid ing into the hall of fame together. Kuhiman of Howell Township and G illett of Marion Township are two of the 12 members of the 2006 class elected to the Michigan Motor Sports H all of Fame. The induction ceremony w ill be Nov. 5 at the University Comfort Inn in Mount Pleasant. Both men were somewhat surprised at th e ir selection by the hall’s board of directors and current members. I t ’s rare for an active driver like Kuhiman to be inducted. Conversely, friends of G illett have been trying to get him into the hall for several years. “They are both very good drivers,” said Fisher, 54, who lives in Cohoctah Township. “You don’t win track championships by not being a good driver. They were both w illing to work lots of hours to build and prep the car and do the setup work. Racing isn’t just what you do on the track.” Kuhiman, 52, said the two have mutual respect for each another, although they never got to compete. “There has never been any challenge between us,” Kuhiman said. “I have respect for him, and he does for me. He comes and watches me race. That shows some respect. I would have loved the opportunity to watch him. I can’t critique him like he can critique me.” Kuhiman, who has more than 100 feature wins at tracks around the Midwest, is best known for winning the points race in the competitive Iceman Series in 1996 and for setting a national record by qualifying in the pole position at the F la t Rock Speedway 31 straight times, a span of three years. Kuhlman’s No. 24 car continues to be a th re a t a t any track. He won an event at the Toledo Speedway in early June. “I ’m happy to keep adding to my lis t of wins,” Kuhiman said. “It (my success) is more of a testament to the team. For what we’ve done the last 25 years, we are s till able to do it. When you have success, it is hard to stop.” He says he has “five more years” of good racing left. Continuing to find sponsors, which are dwindling in this economy, w ill play a factor in when he retires. Gillett began racing in 1961 afte r a bet from his brother, Glenn.

That’s not normally a question I ask heading into a work assignment, but this time the thought passed through my head more than once. Riding the new SphereMania at the Mount Brighton Ski Area in Genoa Township seemed about as fun as work can get, right? But the concept sounds so bizarre - being strapped inside a 350-pound plastic ball and hurtling down a ski hill at 30 miles an hour. My emotions ranged from curiously excited to skittish as I arrived at Mount Brighton. Being a dare devil isn’t my specialty, but I pull that side of me out of the closet now and then. Nine years ago, I bungee jumped into the Pacific Ocean in Acapulco, Mexico. Easing my fears were the testimonials of people who had ridden the sphere already. Joe Bruhn, Mount Brighton’s general manager, admits he was skeptical at first when Rob Felon, CEO of SphereMania U.S.A., contacted him about this opportimity. “Everybody wants to try something different,” Bruhn said. “People espe- The bumpiest part of the Sphere ride occurs at the bottom of the Mount Brighton ski hill.

H e’s using Mount Brighton as a test m arket. I t ’s the firs t place in the United States the company is operating. Four are currently up and running in the United Kingdom. Pelon says riders can experience up to five Gs of force as they careen down the h ill. The wind and the height of the grass greatly affect the sphere’s speed. “If you go sky diving or bungee jumping, it dawns on you la te r what you did. T h a t’s a lot of what we get here,” he said. Thankfully, I got to watch two other guinea pigs go for a ro ll before I strapped myself into the giant sphere.

Playing from the blue tees, Chaplin nailed a 7-wood 180 yards and into the cup at the fifth hole. “It was very special to be out with your son on Father’s Day and do that,’ he said. “I was in a state of shock. He was excited.” Chaplin said it’s tradition that he and his two sons, Mark and Paul, play golf that day. Paul recently moved to Colorado and couldn’t join them. Chaplin said he’s normally a 20-plus handicap who’s happy to break 100. He shot 88 for the round. “It was really great,” he recalled of the experience. “It made the rest of the round special. It was certainly a Father’s Day to remember.

Sexton, of Saline, said the unpredictability of the tumbling provided some wild sensations. “It was a perfect way to end a day of golf,” he said. Ready or not, I was next. Signing a consent form in case of injury can be unnerving. So can fitting into a large safety harness. But as I rode up the h ill in a golf cart, I refused to relent to the little voice in my head. The one whispering: “Don’t do it. You’re crazy. People weren’t meant to be human bowling balls.” The young guys at the top of the h ill strapping me in did their best to build the suspense. “It ’s kind of like being in a rollover car accident,” one worker said as he poked his head inside the baU. Thanks. Too much information, I thought. I remember being calm inside my new re a lity - a six-foot ball held together by more than 1,000 colorful straps and a cushion of a ir inside the 12-foot sphere. H ere’s where my reporting skills go fuzzy. Launching down the mixer run, I remember flipping wildly and seeing the shock on my riding partner, Scott Craig’s face. I remember Craig yelling “I think we h it 30!” From there, I lost a ll sense of time or space. A fter the fourth rotation, gravity welded me to the ball’s interior. The run seemed to last forever, but I ’m told the ride is over in just 35 seconds. I don’t even recall seeing blue-green-bluegreen (slg^-grass-slgr-grass) like others have experienced. As we stopped, my head was heaving, and yet, I couldn’t stop grinning or shouting in triumph. Adrenaline was pulsing through my body like I ’d ju st won a fight ... or seen a ghost. Pelon poked his head into the sphere with his radar gun in hand. We’d hit 27 mph, and survived more than 17 revolutions. Even though I don’t remember the details much, it tru ly was a ride I ’ll never forget. Jason D eegan can be rea ch e d a t }d ee g a n@ iivingstoncomm unitynews .com o r a t (810) 844-2012. BRIGHTON F R O M C l Baseball program In good shape for future grand slam in a 6-2 loss. Brighton baseball coach Mark Carrow packed up and left town this week for a new life in Florida, but his legacy w ill linger. In 34 years, he compiled a career record of 823-315-9 since 1973. Carrow did his best to contain his emotions after his final game wearing a Brighton uniform. “A fter 34 years. I ’m going to miss this,” he said a fte r the June 16 game. “But these kids couldn’t have made it any better for me. I ’m disappointed for them, but they certainly didn’t disappoint me.” Brighton’s senior class leaves a legacy as well. The school has never had a group of m ale athletes achieve so much in one school year. The Bulldogs also advanced to the state semifinals in soccer and football, won the Kensington Valley Conference in basketball and captured a Michigan Youth Rugby Association state title. Even with a ll the changes, Carrow believes the program is in good hands. Brighton graduates nine seniors, b^ut has a trio returning with starting experience - outfielders Kyle Vesey and Dan H arder and pitcher/shortstop ly ie r Loehr. L ife doesn’t end without Carrow around. It ju st changes. “We have good young kids in the program,” Carrow said earlie r this year. “We have talented younger classes that can step up and continue the program. I have faith in the people who maybe w ill take over. Brighton might not miss a beat. Hopefully, we’ll be better.

Weather-permitting, the balloons w ill be flying in as the runners are coming in. T h a t’s not something you see regularly.” Runners can register for $18 a t the St. Joseph Mercy L ivingston Hospital tent on the lawn of the Livingston County Courthouse a t 200 East Grand R iver Avenue from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday.

They aren't browsing for the sake of browsing, or ju s t poking around for the fun of it. They're looking because they want to buy. in fact, 71% of newspaper readers say the paper is where they turn to for shopping advice, it's their medium of choice for information on where to shop and what to buy. So it's no surprise that they also rank as the very best customers for p roducts that range from appliances and credit cards, to investment advice and wine. Newspaper advertising not only enables you to reach a very desirable audience, it allows you to do it when they are actually in the mood to buy! Advertise in The Livingston Community News - it 's the best way to d o se a sale. T o a d v e r t i s e c a l l : ( 8 1 0 ) 8 4 4 - 2 0 2 0 T H E L IV IN G S 'r O N C O M M U N I T Y N E W S 4 20 W.

Coleman, who spent 21 years in prison, was paired with Smith in Livingston County's parole mentorship program. The program is intended to help parolees stay out of the criminal justice system. Coleman, who was skeptical about the program, said:"When I think of a mentor, I think of a guy telling me what to do. And the last thing I need is another guy in my ear. But I can honestly say I do like the program, and I do like talking to him. (Smith is) not a relative or an old friend - just someone I can go relax w ith, something I can look forward to throughout the week." Livingston County officials hope programs like these will lower recidivism and ease crowding at the county jail. Pushed o u t, a n d in Inmates crowded out of prisons confront society BY JAMES BRIGGS N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r For 12 years, the letters kept coming. From inside various prison cells - in Jackson, Ionia, Adrian, Muskegon and others - Rich Coleman tore open the letters, skimmed for the words he wanted to hear, then tossed them aside. Anger, selfishness and pride festered inside him, preventing him from reading between the lines of those discarded notes, where the fears and pain of his famify screamed out. Coleman wasn’t listening. He hadn’t paid attention to the pleas before, and he wasn’t going to start while in prison. “I was reading them, but I wasn’t taking them into comprehension,” Coleman says now, two months after his release from a 21-year prison term. Coleman, 41, was convicted in 1985 of second-degree murder. He lent a gun to a fiiend, who shot and killed a male clerk at a party store in HoweU. The friend told Coleman about his plans, but Coleman said he “chalked it up to idle chitchat.” After being convicted and sentenced to 20 to 50 years, Coleman dismissed his family’s words in similar fashion. “When I reread some of the letters, I find out how much (my family) suffered, you know? The hurt that I caused came out through those letters. But in the beginning, I was so caught up on me. It was all Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich - 1 was only trying to find the parts I wanted to hear.” After spending almost his entire adult life in prison, Coleman, 41, is now fi:ee, living in Howell with his faniily and working to avoid becoming a statistic. The battle is uphill. In Michigan, 48 percent of parolees return to prison within two years of being released. That number is below the national average - Illinois’ recidivism rate is the lowest at 37 percent, California’s 78 percent is the h ip e s t - but that’s no consolation to people, like Coleman, who must reclaim their driver’s licenses, find jobs and prevail over the substance-abuse and anger-management problems that resulted in their incarceration. Michigan’s recidivism rate is a big reason most county jails, including the Livingston and Washtenaw county jails, are too crowded. Twice within the past Through a friend. Rich Coleman lined up a construction job while still in prison. Here, Coleman, left, works in a parking lot with Robert Medley, 23. Coleman started work within days a fte r his April 25 release. His success is rare. Most parolees struggle to find jobs, transportation and housing. year crowding has forced Livingston County to release about 30 inmates who were considered low-risk offenders. The Livingston County J a il operates with a capacity of 254 inmates, but often houses up to two dozen more than that. If the ja il exceeds the 254-prisoner lim it for seven consecutive days, state law requires it to release inmates or move them elsewhere. Until this month, Washtenaw Coimty bused prisoners to other counties, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Livingston County officials say busing is not an option for solving their ja il crowding. ‘"The cost of doing that is ungodfy and it means using deputies as chauffeurs,” Livingston County Commissioner Jack La- Belle said. So how can Livingston County curb ja il crowding? Without a plan in place to expand the jail, county officials are attacking the roots of toe problem, working to lower toe recidivism rate and clear out more low-risk offenders. StiU, some say ja il expansion is toe next step. Tough cycle to break Coleman is one of toe lucky ones. Despite their agony, Dick and Bonnie Coleman supported their son throughout his incarceration and welcomed Rich with open arms when he was released J^ril 25. “We just wanted him to know we were there for him no m atter what happened,” Bonnie Coleman said. Having a stable place to live put Rich ahead of most prisoners. With his living arrangement settled, Coleman sought work while still in prison. Through a fiiend, he lined up a construction job. His parents provided transportation until he got his driver’s license back this month. Now, Coleman has a good job, a new Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 and a chance to leave his past behind. Coleman’s story isn’t toe norm.

The approval occurred only after the board received verbal challenges to the changes from members of a local conservative values group. The trustees also received comments of support from other parents who were part of an advisory panel that proposed the changes. Monday’s vote was 6-0 with trustee Ted Parsons absent. In addition to adding segments both seventh- and eighth-grade sex education curriculum, the changes w ill define some terms and provide a mission statement for an abstinence- based program that school officials said is still conservative when compared with other surrounding school districts. Tom Mallon, one of the founding members of the Livingston Organization for Values in Education, said he opposed the changes and as a “concerned Christian” asked the board to leave the current program in place. “I f your 13-year-old daughter came home and you found out she was having sex, would you offer her a condom? I don’t think so,” Mallon asked. Resident Michelle Gonzalo said she is concerned that providing the information would make the students believe “they’re being protected from disease.” “I think that its dangerous to offer too much information about contraception,” Gonzalo said. The changes were studied and proposed by the d istrict’s Sex Education Advisory Board, which has a membership that is 50 percent parents. Other members of the board are teachers, health professionals and others from toe community. The changes stemmed in p a rt from a recent community survey th at asked parents a t what ages they wanted items such as condoms and risk reduction, contraception, relationshij)s, sexually transmitted diseases and sexual decision making taught. The new policy w ill add information about condoms as they relate to sexually transmitted diseases to the seventh grade and additional information about STDs in the eighth grade. Emphasized in bold type is the teaching of sexual abstinence as “the only way th at couples can be 100 percent sure they w ill not have to deal with pregnancy or STDs.” M ary Beno, the co-chairwoman of the panel who is a Howell parent and health professional with the county’s interm ediate school distric t, defended the proposal. Beno said it “carefully followed the law ” and parental concerns were always placed first. “Abstinence is and always w ill be SEE CURRICULUM, A2 V e t t o b e J u ly 4 t h p a r a d e le a d e r Bill Am rh e in serveid d u r in g WorliJ War II BY STEPHENIE KOEHN N e w s S p e c ia l W r i te r When longtime Brighton area resident B ill Amrhein was asked if he would be toe grand marshal for Brighton’s 2006 Fourth of July Parade, he was in no position to give organizers an answer: He was in the hospital awaiting heart surgery. “I told them, ‘I can’t tell you yet,”’ Amrhein said, not sure what toe future might hold for him. That was in March. Ultimately, toe 83-year-old Amrhein ended up in much better health, with a pacemaker and a defibrillator - and toe parade committee ended up with a “yes” response to their question. When toe parade steps off firim Brighton Education Commimily Center at 10 am .

A 2 THE LIVINGSTON C OM M U N I T Y NEWS F R ID A Y , J U N E 3 0 , 20 0 6 n OVERCROWDING F R O M A 1 County officials say jail expansion will happen; question is when debt when they leave the system and find no help. Without an income or place to live, they return to crime and end up back in ja il or prison. “They have difficulty finding employment because of their criminal history, and each of them have their own cross to bear with various drug problems. Coming out, they may end up still having those substance abuse problems,” said Dan Chepeska, a parole officer and supervisor for the Livingston County Jail. “Housing is a big issue, especially in Livingston County. Guys come out who have burned a lot of their bridges and have no place to go. “The majority of people coming out are of younger ages and don’t even have a clue how to fill out a resume or job application.” Lowering recidivism The Livingston County Community Mentoring Service, a new faith-based county initiative, has been launched to help residents rise out of poverty. The program also offered a four-week personal finance class to nonviolent offenders from the Livingston County Jail in May. Inmates learned credit management and uploaded resumes to databases. The idea, said Jim Chevalier, the service’s treasurer, is that parolees are less likely to return to crime if they can control their finances. “We want to help people help themselves,” ChevaUer said. “We reach out to the ones coming out of the prison system or ja il system and give them a heads-up so they can function properly.” The organization also has set up a parole mentorship program, matching parolees with mentors who meet them once a week in an informal setting. The program began in May with 25 mentormentee pairs. Coleman, who calls the criminal justice system “broken,” said programs Ifice these are necessary to give himself and others a legitimate chance to change their lifestyles. “Drugs and alcohol were a big part of my life,” Coleman said. Even during the first 12 years of his incarceration, Coieman said. J A M IE C H A R B E N E A U - P IS E L U .T H E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N I T Y N E W S The Livingston County Jaii, which has 254 beds, sometimes operates with two dozen more inmates than that. Livingston County officiais say the time to discuss a ja il expansion is nearing. he “continued to party in the system as I had in tlie street. Even though (drugs and alcohol) are not supposed to be there, you can pretty much get what you need to get, even when in the sjrstem.” But after 12 years in prison, and a nine-month period in segregation, Coleman said he “woke up one day and said T can’t keep doing it this way’ I went to college (through a prison program) and threw myself into any program I felt could benefit me and he^ me find direction.” One of those is the mentorship program. Coleman meets with Brent Smith, 45, of Howell each Saturday morning for breakfast, where the two men discuss life over bacon and eggs. Smith, who also mentors another parolee, said he tries to share his Christian faith, provide encouragement to Coleman and be accessible for his needs. Coleman began the meetings with skepticism, but said he now looks forward to them. “When I think of a mentor, I think of a guy telling me what to do,” Coleman said. “And the last thing I need is another guy in my ear. But I can honestly say I do like the program, and I do like talking to (Smith). He’s not a relative or an old friend - just someone I can go relax with, something I can look forward to throughout the week.” Livingston County Jail Chaplain Jim Proos, who helped create the mentorship program, said he isn’t aware of any others. “We’re breaking ice here. It’s the onty one we know of in the nation, frankly,” Proos said. “We know something’s got to change. This (high recidivism rate) just can’t go on.” It is too soon to judge the program’s success. But statistics show prisoners or parolees who get help preparing for their release are less likely to return, said Michigan Department of Corrections Spokesman Rus Marlin. Of 800 prisoners who have participated in the state’s new Michigan Prisoner Re-entry Initiative, which works with inmates while they are still in the system. Marlin said 17 percent have returned. That program is scheduled to come to Livingston County in 2007. Livingston County also is studying a Sentenced Work Abatement Program that Ottawa County us-, es. It would allow judges to sentence nonviolent offenders to work on county projects, rather than sending them to jail. Livingston officials have discussed implementing a six-month pilot version of the program next year. “If we can have them do some of the (mundane) tasks, then I think the county wins,” Livingston County Undersheriff Michael Murphy said. “Ottawa frees up a lot of bed space.” Initial estimates suggest the program would free two beds a night in the county ja il. “The two beds is not a big deal, but it is an advantage in addition to the work being done,” Muiphy said. The county is studying how much the program would cost. Primary expenses would include transportation and clothing for the workers. Expansion 'inevitable' It ’s simple logic. Livingston County is growing, and so too must its jail. Livingston Coimty Commissioner David Domas, who chairs the county’s public s^ety subcommittee, admits ja il expansion is “inevitable” even as he works to solve the crowding - at least temporarify - without tatoig that measure. “Ejqpanding Sie jail will happen,” Domas said. “But our position is that it should happen only after analysis is done. It requires a longterm managerial solution.” The National Institute of Corrections issued a ja il assessment to the county this month in which it recommended the ja il reduce its capacity to 208 inmates - a reduction of 46. The county is taking those recommendations seriously, but reducing the capacity is not feasible. Jail Administrator Tom Cremonte said. “(The assessment) is based on a best-case scenario,” Cremonte said. “We need more beds, not less. Without building a whole new facility, we just can’t conform with our current facility.” If Washtenaw County is any indication, voters lack enthusiasm for paying to expand jails. Washtenaw has a more severe crowding problem than Livingston does, but voters overwhelmingly defeated a 2005 millage proposal that would have paid for a ja il expansion. Washtenaw has estimated an expansion to cost between $10.7 million and $17.8 million. That’s just one more reason to discuss expanding the Livingston County J ^ now. Commissioner LaBelle said. “I think we’re kidding ourselves if we think the ja il can keep up with our population,” he said. “If we keep putting off the jail, we’re going to be another Washtenaw County or Oakland County. I think the time is now to start planning to expand.” James Briggs can be reached a t 810- 844-2003. AMRHEIN F R O M A1 World War II vet'served honorably and came home all right' my heart for this generation,” Cluskeysaid. “So many of these people are very humble. And, of course, we always like to honor our veterans. I ’m personally trying to honor as many W W II veterans as I can, while I can.” Those who remain, like Amrhein - who was 19 when he enlisted - are mostly in their 80s and 90s. T-ue to Cluskey’s assessment, Amrhein is modest. He doesn’t see anything particularly special about himself, although he said he’s tickled that he was asked to preside over the parade. “I don’t know if I ’m a patriot, but I think you honor your country, your flag and your people,” he said Despite participating in nearly every Independence Day parade since moving to Brighton in 1964, he said he’s a bit nervous about his role this year. “I hope I don’t do anything wrong - and I hope it doesn’t rain,” he said. Betty Amrhein, his wife of 36 years, is vocal in her praise of her husband. “I think there’s nobody more deserving of the honor than Bill,” she said. “He’s such a loyal veteran. He has been a big part of the VFW and the (American) Legion. He’s ioyal and true blue to the red, white and blue.” Amrhein, who has been an active member of veterans’ organizations, including the South Lyon and the Brighton Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Brighton post of the American Legion, has been commander of both VFW groups on several occasions, as well as past commander of the VFW O akl^d Coimty Council. He was named VFW Commander of the Year in 1970. “He has always cared about keeping the VFW and the Legion going, not just for his generation, but for those to come. I’m not sure the young people know how much (VFW and Legion groups) can do for you. There are so many benefits that young people may not know about unless they join.” His service to community doesn’t stop there, however. Amrhein - the father of seven, who has 14 grandchildren and five great grandchildren - also was active in the Boy Scouts in his youth and as an adult, and with l i t tle League, Cluskey said. Born in Livonia in 1923, Amrhein grew up on a South Lyon area farm and graduated fi'om South Lyon High School. His younger sister, Patricia Mecklenberg of HoweU, says Amrhein would tease her sometimes, but he was a good brother. “He guarded me and always made sure that I got home from school safely. He always has a good word for everyone and he’s very generous.” Her brother is a good pick for grand marshal, she said, because “he represents patriotism. He loved the service.” Following high school, Amrhein worked for a year at the Kelsey Hayes machine gun manufacturing facility in Plymouth. Then, at age 19, he enUsted in the Air Force. In later life, Amrhein was an avid pilot of small, private aircraft, but his color blindness meant he couldn’t be a pilot during his stint with the A ir Force. After basic training, he trained in armament and gunnery schools and spent much of his active duty stationed at Steeple Morden A ir Base, 40 miles north of London, where he armed P47 and PB51 fighter planes for the D - Day invasion. After VE day, he was sent to Germany as part of the occupation force in Augsburg, Germany, until his discharge as a staff sergeant in 1945. Amrhein, who counts among his heroes his wife and flight pioneers Charles Lindbergh, Eddie Rickenbacker and Chuck Yaeger, said one of his proudest accomplishments was his service in the m ilita iy “I went in the service, served my time honorably and came home all right,” he said. “I had a few close calls, but I was one of the luclg^ ones.” Still, he said, “I was no hero; I just did my job.” When he returned home from the war, on a much smaller ship that he said “bobbed like a cork” all the way across the Atlantic, he missed seeing the Statue of Liberty again. “It was so foggy, you couldn’t see anything,” he said. The statue, he said, represented his country to him - and his reason for fighting the war - and he was very disappointed to miss seeing it again. “My wife and I made a special trip to see it about 10 years ago,” he said. His advice to young people, he said, is to “look back at history so you don’t make the same mist^es that people who came before you made and try to do the right thing in your life. Work hard, be loyal, be honest and do everything you do to the best of your ability.” WiU he wear anything special for the parade? “Keenan told me to get a fancy patriotic tie,” he said.

Board Yice President Jeanne Clum said although her parents did not allow her to go through such classes when she was a student in Howell, she and her husband wanted th eir children to go through the program. “As Christian parents, you should be stressing abstinence. I support that,” she said. Board Treasurer Mike H all, who along with Sue Swartz was at his last board meeting, said he became concerned and involved in sim ilar discussions when his children attended Southeast Elementary School. He also said parents ultimately carry the decision. “We appreciate everything th at was voiced today and we share many of your concerns,” H all said.

A world history teacher and athletics coach who has worked in the Brighton schools for 30 years. Cook is an avid reader of history. She collects and sells antique post cards and stamps. She is her famify’s historian. “She is a friend, and a person of integrity,” Fritz said. Cook also is an outspoken advocate for her colleagues, often addressing the school board as the district and teachers union struggled through contract negotiations. The teachers worked the 2005-06 year without a contract. But the union, the Brighton Education Association, and the district came to an agreement earlie r this month. “Teachers are good people who care. That’s why they got into it,” Cook said. “But teachers think the public doesn’t honor them. Why are we told we are greedy?! know teachers who have adopted children and paid for students’ shoes. I ’ve made tuition payments for kids. Education is teing made an undesirable profession, and your best and brightest don’t want to go into it.” As a veteran teacher. Cook said she is happy with her wages but it took her years to get to this point. She said many are unaware of how many hours teachers work. “I get to school at 6:45 a.m. and stay beyond 4 p.m. most days,” Cook said. “We’re also writing the lessons, reading papers and correcting tests outside of school.” Cook was inspired to be an educator by her own educational experiences in Royal Oak - and by her grandparents, who raised her Carroll Cook ■ Age; 56. ■ Home: Marion Township. ■ Job: History teacher at Brighton High School. ■ Pets:Three cats: Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Mesa. ■ People she admires most: Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Joan of Arc. ■ Hobbies; Collecting and then selling antique stamps and post cards on eBay, Renaissance art, and music, especially Mozart. ■ Most recently read book: "His Excellency" by Joseph Ellis (about George Washington). ■ Goal:"To get through the next school year and have the same energy and feeling for my kids that I've had since I started.

She saw life in depth and was a reader of people and a brilliant person,” Cook said. “My grandfather was a Renaissance fellow and loved history. We were storytellers, and that’s how I teach histoiy.” Cook was an outspoken child, something for which some teachers punished her. She said that treatment encouraged her to be an advocate for children. “I have never given up on a kid,” Cook said. Cook studied at Oakland University, majoring in history with a minor in English. After working in Royal Oak, she heard about an opening in Brighton and was hired in 1976, as a teacher and as the JV and varsity girls basketball coach. She also coached girls softbaU. Within a few years, she led the varsity girls basketball team to the state finals. Pat Lotz played on the 1979 team that went to the state finals under Cook’s coaching. “She was a tough coach and worked us hard, but there was a mutual respect,” said Lotz, who keeps in touch with Cook. “She was really passionate about it and is a great person who has always cared about me and my success.” Cook said she used the same philosophy in coaching that she did in Uie classroom. “You’re a motivator and you want to instill a love and respect in your students,” she said. Cook integrates humor and philosophy into her lessons, and doesn’t allow her students to be disrespectful of one another. A quote from Isaac Newton is posted in her classroom: “If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.” It expresses her goals. “I want kids to realize that they are who they are because of the contributions of others. I want to teach them to be moved by history,” she said. “My role as a teacher is to teach a student how to think, not what to think. I want them to be critical thinkers and to be aware of their own biases and prejudices.” Cook said a highlight of her career was giving the 2005 graduation speech for Brighton High School, held at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, where Cook earned her master’s degree in educational psychology, the study of how children learn and think H er topic was “The wisdom of youth.” “I realized this was my commun ily my students and my colleagues.

The ire left behind might take a little longer to disappear. At least two dozen local business owners attended the township’s Board of Trustees meeting June 22 to support John Colone, owner of H e ll’s Screams Ice Cream and Halloween store. Colone is the person some township officials blame for the complaints they heard from residents about the large crowd th at converged in H e ll on June 6, a date made of trip le sixes, 6- 6-06, a number associated with Satan. “I recognize th at working in government is very difficult,” said Kevin MacRitchie, co-owne r with wife, Renee, of Pinckney’s True Value Hardware store and Putnam Township’s TM Z Farms. “But there must be a balance between residents and businesses. Without businesses, residents w ill leave.” Seventeen members of the Pinckney Merchants Association signed a le tte r thanking Colone for “what many of us experienced as the best business day we’ve had.” The village’s Downtown Development Authority and the Pinckney-Lakeland- Hamburg Chamber of Commerce sent sim ilar messages. Some business owners said Supervisor Dick Knopf’s scolding of Colone for not getting a $100 event permit for what they believe was an impromptu gathering is anti-business. “Growth is about strengthening a community,” MacRitchie said. “It ’s not about adding buildings. We don’t want six new blocks in Pinckney, we just want to figure out how to make the blocks we have thrive.” Knopf wanted Colone to apologize and take responsibility for the lack of parking, crowd control, security and restroom facilities needed to accommodate the crowd. Instead, Colone “apologized” for fillin g hotel rooms and restaurants and “the hundreds of thousands of dollars pumped into the area.” “T hat attitude bothers me,” Knopf said. “You’re bragging. I don’t see any sorriness in you. The only apology I didn’t hear was to the residents you inconvenienced.” Pam Kekes, president of the H i-Land Lake Association, which represents a group of homeowners “up the h ill” from H e ll’s three Patterson Lake Road businesses, called Colone’s statement “arrogant.” “Apologies are not the answer,” she said, reading from a w ritten statement, “but following our local ordinances and respecting the fact that H ell is located in a residential community, and not M-36, is.” H e ll’s C arroll Bradley and Ron Connelly, residents on Riverbank D rive, supported Colone. “I was stuck in traffic four times that day, and a ll four times I was laughing,” Bradley said. “People were coming from a ll over the place to nowhere. I ’m willing to take the inconvenience for the overall betterment of the community.” As for the crowd’s drinking of alcohol and rowdiness that occurred la te r in the evening, re sulting in four police arrests, Bradley said, “I ’ve seen them arrest more people after a graduation parly.” Colone recognized the gathering was a once-in-a-lifetime event that changed H ell forever. MacRitchie said it was like the thousands of people who camped at a farm where a white buffalo was born. Trustee Tom Benedetti, who said the occurrence was date-triggered, not person-triggered, likened it to the s tir caused by a grilled cheese sandwich that bore the image of the Yirgin Mary. Trustee Jeff Buerman apologized for the way the township has handled the situation, and Trustees Kevin Dobis and Norm Klein agreed the incident has been “blown out of proportion.” They, and Benedetti, Clerk Sally Guyon and Treasurer Dick Mc- Closkey, agreed it’s time to put the issue to rest and work with people planning events in H ell to ensure they are as safe and convenient to residents as they are beneficial to business. “We’ve got a unique community out there and we’ve got to have unique solutions,” Mc- Closkey said.

Pinckney council OKs Rite Aid plan V o te clears w a y fo r v illa ge's firs t la rge c h a in re ta il s to re B Y L E A N N E S M I T H N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r The final site plan for an 11,180-square-foot R ite Aid drugstore was approved by the Pinckney Village Council on Monday, paving the way for the a rriv a l of the firs t large re ta il chain store. Construction is set to start in August on the southeast corner of M-36 and Dexter-Pinckney Road, said Keith G. Maziasz, vice president the store’s developers, AARMAX Commercial Realty Group Inc. of Macomb. The opening is slated for year’s end, Maziasz said. The big development is momentous and bittersweet for the little town, said Village President Rebecca Foster. “It was inevitable that it would happen, but it’s still an emotional issue for a lot of people,” Foster said. “I praise this council for setting that aside and voting based on our ordinances and technical standards.” ll-u stee Jim Shay moved to approve the store’s final site plan contingent on the developers meeting a ll outstanding requirements set by village engineers, the state Department of Tt-ansportation and the L ivingston County road and drain commissions. Trustee Bob Stone seconded the motion and the council voted 5-1 in favor. Trustee Pat Dewey was absent and 'Trustee Linda Lavey voted no.“ There are too many things th at haven’t been finalized,” Lavey said, adding that emotion did not influence her decision. “I ju s t don’t know why they can’t have everything complete.” Almost everything is complete, Foster said, adding that what s till needs to be turned in are permits and documentation that requirements have been met in regard to traffic, drainage and other construction issues. Traffic has been the main concern of many, as Pinckney Community High School is on Dexter-Pinckney Road about a mile south of this already busy M-36 intersection. However, developers said MDOT has given approval for a right-in and rightout only entrance off M-36 to help ease congestion, Foster said. Robert Phipps and Michael Heidt, local owners of Pinckney Pharmacy at 1343 E. M-36, have said the new store w ill affect them, but they hope th e ir diverse product line, which includes hobby, craft, sewing and unique g ift items, w ill sustain th eir business. “There’s a lot of loyalty for Pinckney Pharmacy, and a lot of sadness that R ite Aid is coming to town, but they have assured us they w ill be good community citizens,” Poster said. The R ite Aid property is zoned secondary business, which allows for a store of this size, Foster said. The village’s Planning Commission granted prelim inary site plan approval for the R ite Aid in October and recommended final site plan approval in May.

The work is being done using proceeds from a $49 m illion bond issue approved in 1994 and features a building swap between the high school and ju n io r high. A fte r the removal of old c arpet, an office rem odel and the emptying of the new high school’s media center and theater, “the old ju n io r high is now called the high school,” Alverson said. The high school’s new academic wings are scheduled for completion by Aug. 1. The building’s new, state-of-the-art th e a te r and gym have a summ er 2007 deadline. E lsew here in the d is tric t, the new ju n io r high school and Smith E lem e n ta ry School are undergoing asbestos ab atement. Alverson said floor tiles containing low levels of asbestos w ill be professionally ex tra cted from “a couple of hallways” in th e high school. The Smith job is more exten sive as tile s a re throughout the building. “The company is responsible fo r th e ir rem oval and the dust (the p ro ject gene ra te s ,)” Alverson said. Finally, as road construction progresses along N orth Grand Street, north from the Addison Farms Condominium complex to Sharpe Road, p re lim in a ry work w ill begin on Sharpe, Alverson said. With new storm drains a lready in s ta lle d on N o rth Grand, he said he expects curbs and paving to begin shortly, followed by the c re ation of an easement fo r the Livingston County Road Commission. The $540,000 road im provement p ro je c t is sp lit th re e ways, w ith th e v illa g e of F ow le rv ille and F ow le rv ille Community Schools contributing $207,500 each, and the developer of Pheasant Run subdivision paying $125,000. Hamburg Township Grant application made for sewer study Hamburg Township officials have applied fo r an $85,000 state g ran t to pay fo r 90 p e rcent of the studies needed to expand the township’s sewer w astew ater tre a tm en t plant on M e rrill Road. The g ran t also would help pay fo r studies re la ted to an upgrade of the Ore Lake sewe r system, said Supervisor Cindy Pine. Howell Student expulsions reported down As the H ow ell Public Schools adopts a new Student Code of Conduct, officials re port th a t the number of student expulsions was reduced in 2005-06 from the previous school year. According to d is tric t records, th e re were 14 perm anent and 180-day expulsions in the 2005-06 school year. In the previous year, th e re were 21 expulsions, prompting Deputy Superintendent Lynn P arrish to send home a le tte r urging parents to be aware of the code and to take responsibility for th e ir children’s behavior. A s im ila r le tte r w ill be in cluded this year. The revised code was adopted by the school board Monday. P a rrish said she hopes the message about the d is tric t’s tough policy on student behavio r is being heard by parents and the community. “I t re a lly hasn’t been a secret th a t we draw the lin e in this d is tric t,” she said. “ I th in k the word may be g etting out. I hope it ’s the start of a tren d .” Trustees thank liaison officer Outgoing How ell High School police liaison Officer M a tt K e lleh e r received the thanks of the H ow ell school board early this month. K elleh e r has served in the post fo r four years and is the school’s second liaison officer. He is employed by the city of Howell Police D epartm ent. He w ill be replaced this fa ll by Officer Don Banfield, said How ell Police Chief George Basar. “This has been a ve ry im p o rtan t position in our distric t,” said Howell Superintendent Chuck B reiner, adding th a t the liaison has served as a conduit between students and s ta ff and has “created a sense of safety” in the school. K elleh er is m arried to Highlan d er Way M iddle School a rt teacher Deb K elleher and they have a 3-year-old son, Ben. Negotiations with 5 unions under way Negotiations are under way with all five of the Howell Public Schools bargaining units this summer. Deputy Superintendent Lynn P arrish said the d is tric t is “close to a s e ttle ment” with the custodians and maintenance employees rep resented by the Howell Custod ial-M aintenan ce-M EA and w ith adm in istrative employees. Also on the table are negotiations w ith Teamsters Local 214, How ell E ducational Supp ort Personnel Association and the Howell Education Association, which represents How ell teachers.

The move would allow the renovations to an empty building, saving the district an estimated $1 miUion, said Superintendent Chuck Breiner. “That has not been discussed at the board level, but is an option,” he told parents and students last week at the first meeting about the transition to a second high school. Officials have said it is unlikely that they will open Parker as planned in 2007 due to budget constraints, although that remains an option if state funding changes. Breiner said a decision will be made by June 2007 as to whether Parker will open that fall. The most contentious issue during last week’s session was about dividing upperclassmen and high school athletes who cmrently play together. Some suggested that ninth- and 10thgraders be kept together at Howell High School, while upperclassmen attend Parker. Others suggested that seniors be offered an option of which school to attend to stay with fellow athletes. The discussion spilled into this week’s school board meeting, where the issue was raised again during public comment. Marion Township resident Jean Root said Monday that the current Freshman Campus building was opened as an interim fix to high school crowding. But, she said, it has worked well as a permanent fix. “We’ve gotten ourselves a gem here,” she said. “Our ninth-grade building has been a big success. I feel the environment is much better there.” School officials agree that keeping ninth-graders separate is a good idea. When Parker opens, Uie plan is to have two separate ninth-grade academy programs - one at each high school. More meetings will be scheduled to discuss the transition, but no information was available on future dates. Meanwhile, the building of Parker High School continues on schedule and Howell High School renovation plans are moving ahead, using bond money approved by voters in 2003. Design work on the $13.4 million renovation project is slated to begin this summer, with bids scheduled to be let in the fall. Among changes will be an ejqjansion of the cuHnaiy arts program, an additional 5,000 square feet of space for an Eastern Michigan University program, and renovation of the media center as well as a new school entrance, Breiner said. The $97.6 million 2003 bond issue included theHowell High renovation, money to build Parker as well as improve athletic facilities at Howell High, upgrade Highlander Way Middle School, and districtwide technology upgrades. School officials stress that bond money must be used only for approved capital projects; none can be used for district operations. Howell schools makes changes in administrative positions BY CASEY HANS N ew s S t a f f R e p o r te r The Howell Public Schools w ill shift numerous administrative staff in the district this summer due to several retirements and resignations. The changes include the moves of two secondary principals: Margaret Hamill from Howell High School and Ann Anderson of Highlander Way Middle School, into assistant principal roles, according to Deputy Superintendent for Labor Relations and Personnel Lynn Parrish. Neither H am ill nor Anderson could be reached for comment. Other changes of note include the retirem ent of long-time staffers Doug Paige, the district’s athletic director for 37 years, as well as Fred Dobbs, principal at Voyager Elementary School. Parrish said the moves were made to best serve the district “We feel it’s our responsibility to realign things in the district periodically,” she said. “I think that it’s going to serve us well.” Staff changes include: ■ H ajuill ^ move to an assistant principal’s post at Highlander Way Middle School. She will replace Amy Hodgson who has left the district for a principal’s post on Dansville. ■ Sandra Moore, who is currently principal at Challenger E lementary School, will replace Anderson as principal at Highlander Way. Anderson w ill move to an assistant principal’s post at the Freshman Campus. ■ Dan Hutcheson, now the assistant principal at the Freshman Campus, takes the post of the district’s athletic director, replacing the retiring Paige. ■ Jason Feig will move fi-om the assistant principal’s post at Three Fires Middle School to principal at Voyager Elementary School, replacing the retiring Dobbs. ■ Replacing Moore as the new principal at Challenger Elementary will be Novi educator, Deborah Madeja, who is expected to be named to the post at the July 10 meeting of the Howell school board. Parrish said the moves w ill take effect over the summer months, most likely in August. Since most changes are within the district, they are being made administratively; only new hires from outside of the district are taken before the board of education for approval, she said. Parrish said the principal’s job for Howell High School has been advertised nationally and that candidates are expected to be interviewed in the next several weeks. Although the opening of Parker High School is still an uncertainty, she said the candidates also w ill be reviewed with the principalship of that school in mind, as well. LETTERS Hartland failed to recognize veterans The Beach family settled in ru ra l H artland in the early 1850s. Family members have served our country. Our ch ildren and grandchildren have participated in and enjoyed the Hartland Memorial Day celebration for many, many years. This year marked the 71st Mem orial Day celebration in Hartland, organized by the Hartland Area Community Council. Each year a parade book is pubhshed by the council to help defray the cost of Memoria l Day activities. For many years, the heart of this book has been a tribute to Hartland’s Veterans, both the living and the dead. Not so this year. Missing from this y e a r’s Memorial Day book is any mention of the American Legion Austin-Moore Post 415. Since the formation of the Austin- Moore Post in 1946, these men have led H artland ’s Memorial Day parade, as well as conducting Mem orial Day services in both the Hartland and Parshal- Iv ille Cemeteries. They have served the community in many other ways as well. Sadly lacking from the 2006 Mem orial Day book was any tribute or acknowledgment to our local veterans. The Memoria l Day perspective made for interesting reading, but no mention of H artland ’s own who served was made. The vast m ajority of the people participating in the Memoria l Day ceremonies are already well acquainted with its significance, including the poppies in Flander’s Fields. It seems much more approp riate to honor the local ve te rans, both the living and the fa llen, on this special day of re membrance and recognition. My question is why were H a rtland Veterans not honored this year? Every veteran has earned and deserves a place of honor for their service to America. But to dismiss or ignore H artland’s own at the Hartland Memorial - again, why? C. Beach, Hartland Youth council is grateful for help May 18 was the firs t Howell Area Youth Assets Coalition dinner and auction. It was a great success due to the hard work of many people, especially members of the Youth Council, and to the many who attended. A great big thank you to the following businesses who supported this event with donations of merchandise or gift baskets: Simplicity Salon and Spa, Hunters Ridge, BoRics, Kensington Valley Ice House and the Top Shelf Pub and Grub restaurant. Great Escape, Town Center Veterinary Associates, D ollar General, Beaners Gourmet Coffee, Candy Bouquet, Hero Quest, Skater’s Advocate, Mancinos, Hungry Howies, Massage for Health, Aeropostale, Perfect Edge Hockey, First Impression P rin ting, Crystal Gardens Banquet Center and MSU Extension Livingston County. We hope you stop by and support these businesses because they care about the youth of Howell. And thanks to the following individuals who donated items or sponsored a basket: Kris Reinhardt, Jeanne Clum, Jay Drick, Dr. 'Tom Floyd, Catherine Capy, Elaine Kern, Norm and Jeannine P ra tt, The Mr. Wonderful Card Club, G. Todd Vaughn. Special thanks to Kathy Alward from Candy Bouquet, who put many of the baskets together. We also wish to recognize the Howell High School jazz band and Livingston Sensation winner, Tanya Komblevitz for sharing th e ir fantastic musical ta lents. Chelsea Arlington, Kim Greenlees Youth Council Jeanette Freeland, Roxanne Turner Youth Council advisers Thanks for project, lesson on homeless On May 5 and 6, 20 Howell High School Freshman Focus students created a cardboard village and slept overnight in the soccer field as a community project to raise awareness for homelessness. This is the first time an event of this nature has been attempted at the Freshman Campus and waking up to 38-degree weather in the morning was truly a humbling experience. Our group raised $1,400 for two L iv ingston county agencies which assist homeless individuals. We also collected three car loads of food for Gleaner’s F ill the Gazebo Food Drive. We’d like to thank everyone in the community who contributed to our project with cash donations and food. Specifically, we would like to thank International Paper for supplying the cardboard used for our shelters. We’d also like to thank L ittle Caesar’s for pizza on Saturday afternoon, Busch’s of Pinckney for donating bottled water, and Mr. Cawley for kindly providing T-shirts for the event. We are grateful for being able to recycle our cardboard at Recycle L iv ingston and for the Howell Po- Uce Department’s added patrols throughout the night. Other local business’ we would like to thank include: J.J. Jingleheimer, Howell Village Market, Mr. D ’s, Spirit of L iv ingston, Los Tres Amigos, Yax Jewelers, Cornerstone Barbershop and Le Boutique. To make our experience fun y e t in sigh tful, we had th re e amazing speakers who and shared th e ir stories and thoughts about homelessness. Mr. and M rs. Perkins shared th e ir experiences working w ith the R EA CH program , as w e ll as M arissa Smith from the Connection Teen Shelter. We re a lly enjoyed these speakers and they were a tru e inspiration. This project would not have been successful without the support of Howell Public Schools. Mr. Breiner, our Superintendent and our FS-eshman Campus Principal, Mr. Cowger who each visited our cardboard village. Our Assistant Principal, Mr. Hutcheson also surprised us and brought his adorable family to support us Friday evening. The custodians and the athletic department also showed great interest in our experience by providing us with a site to hold our homelessness activity. Finally, we would like to show gratitude toward our parent volunteers who gave their time and took p a rt in our cardboard v illage.

A6 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS F R ID A Y , J U N E 3 0 , 20 0 6 ~ ~ "_r '.T 'r r r LAWNET stresses mission Governments being reminded of value BY TOM TOLEN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r The head of an Ann Arborbased law enforcement organization that serves Livingston and Washtenaw counties says he wants to get the word out to the public - and to local governments that provide a share of his agency’s funding - that it provides a valuable service. As a result, officials of the Livingston and Washtenaw Narcotics Enforcement Team have been visiting city councils and township boards to outline the agency’s mission. “Our thought was that, as times get tough, and budgets get tough, a lot of our statistics are not out there,” said LAWNET director Lt. Garth Burnside. “Before (they) ask what is LAWNET and why are we part of it, we are answering that and informing them of the work we do, and that we are an important tool,” Burnside said. LAWNET investigates drugrelated and other crimes in the two counties, and has the distinction of being the oldest of 19 cooperative drug agencies in Michigan. LAWNET was formed in 1970 as the Washtenaw Area Narcotics Team, and changed its name to LAWNET in 1981 with the addition of several Livingston County police agencies. The agency is headquartered at an undisclosed location in the Ann Arbor area, but its officers come from participating police forces in the two counties. Currently, 30 officers from eight local, county, state and federal agencies plus five partner agencies, staff LAWNET. Fbr a time, Jackson County was an integral part of the agency, and the Jackson Narcotics Enforcement Team remains as a LAWNET sub-team. “LAWNET brings a tremendous network of police and investigative resources to the table,” said Green Oak Township Police Chief Bob Brookins. His township is a member of the agency and Brookins is a member of the LAWNET Board of Control that provides oversight for LAWNET. “Their coordination with other narcotics teams, and the sharing of intelligence with police departments, federal agencies and other state teams, is something that can’t have a dollar value put to it - it’s priceless,” Brookins said. LAWNET fills a vacuum caused by limited areas of jurisdiction because it crosses county lines, Brookins said. That’s important to his department, which covers a township bordering two other counties (Washtenaw and Oakland). “Criminals don’t stop at the township boundary line,” he said. Burnside said a big problem in the past year has been a major increase in marijuana trafficking in the two counties. “They are bringing it in by the semi-truckloads,” he said. “Last year, was a big year for crack cocaine, and heroin has made a big comeback, as well as the illegal diversion of prescription drugs.” Burnside also sees a recent phenomenon - lacing heroin with the deadly painkiller fentanyl - as having a significant future impact in the region if not PHOTOS COURTESY, LAWNET A sampling of weapons seized during a raid by members of the Livingston and Washtenaw Narcotics Enforcement Team.

Two recent Washtenaw County deaths: a 19- year-old Dexter Township woman and a 24-year-old Pittsfield Township man - were fentanyl- related. Ann Arbor Police are now investigating a possible third - the death of a 22-year old Ypsilanti woman two weeks ago. “The majority of heroin in Washtenaw and Livingston counties comes fi'om Detroit, so it’s going to find its way out here,” Burnside said. Authorities said there have been 130 deaths in Wayne County since last year fi'om fentanyllaced heroin. Nationally, more than 200 deaths in recent months have been attributed to the deadly drug cocktail. Methamphetamine, or crystal meth, is not a serious local problem yet, but pockets of meth activity exist on the periphery of the two counties. One problem with meth, Burnside said, is it can be made with common products available at local stores. The biggest percentage of LAWNET’s funding, 31 percent, comes from the Michigan State Police, followed by the city of Ann Arbor at 21 percent. Revenue from drug forfeitures comprises another 10 percent of LAWNET’s budget followed by Washtenaw County, at 9.5 percent. The remainder comes from cities and townships within the two counties, and grants. “We get a big bang for our buck,” Burnside said. Through the federal drug forfeiture law, narcotics seizures go back into LAWNET operations, and drug forfeitures make up 10 percent of the agency’s budget. LAWNET has survived and scored significant successes despite having fewer members. Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte said his department was forced to drop out earlier this year due to a budget crunch. Bezotte emphasizes his department still maintains its own drug program. “We still refer cases and work with LAWNET,” he said. LAWNET Board of Control Chairman and Saline Police Chief Paul Bunten said the Livingston County team is a valued part of the organization, despite few officers. “What LAWNET does up here with just three guys is just amazing,” he said. LAWNET is governed by a 13- person board of directors, with Brookins as vice chairman and Washtenaw County Sheriff Dan Minzey as treasurer. Washtenaw County Prosecutor Brian Mackie and Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse also serve on the LAWNET board.

Caught in the act of beautification Brighton city manager donates flower baskets BY TOM TOLEN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r te r Brighton City Manager Dana Foster is no Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, but on a small scale he has become a bit of a philanthropist. Foster recently donated $300 of his own money toward the hanging flower baskets placed throughout Brighton’s downtown district. Foster contributed the money after learning that floral decorations for the Hyne walkway, connecting West Main Street with Mill Pond Lane, were not included into the overall business district beautification plan. The Brighton Downtown Development Authority spent $20,000 on the baskets, which have been placed on the city’s Victorian street lampposts, mast-arm traffic signals, and West Main Street and on Grand River Avenue fi'om North Street to Challis Road. Three bids were submitted, with Landscape Design Associates of Howell getting the winning bid. Foster, who earns $81,000 in his job as city manager, said he made the donation because it was his idea to include flower baskets along the Hyne walkway. After learning they were omitted from the plan, Foster made out a check to the city, and four of the floral decorations, at $75 each, were installed in the walkway. The Brighton Bar and Grill also put four flower baskets next to the restaurant, which is on the walkway. Foster was surprised when asked about the donation, since he had not made the gift publicly known. Foster stressed he was not looking for an “attaboy” or pat on the back. So why, then, did he do it? “I got to thinking if it’s such a great idea, maybe I ought to put my money where my mouth is,” this because I thought the flowers did add ambiance to our downtown, and I happen to be very proud of our downtown and what we have to offer.” Foster said he believed the flowers would enhance the four sculptures on the walkway as part of the Brighton Biennial. “It was really nice of him to do that,” Mayor Steve Monet said. Monet said Foster had not said anything about the donation. “He wasn’t looking for publicity,” the mayor said. “This is an example of his showing his commitment to the city.” Piet Lindhout, the DDA’s design consultant, said, “It was a great idea, and we’re very grateful (for the donation).” Lindhout said in addition to installing 185 hanging flower baskets, the DDA has had flowers planted in parking lots, pocket parks, at welcome signs and other locations. “We’ve received a lot of comments, all positive,” he said.

Recent estimates from the U.S. Census show more people are moving into rural communities throughout the area, especially to the townships of Marion, Oceola, Hartland, Tyrone and Genoa in Livingston County. Marion topped the percentage growth with a 37.3 percent increase in population, followed by Oceola Township at 30.1 percent, Hartland Township at 29.6 percent and Tyrone and Hartland townships at 25.3 and 24.4 percent respectively. Genoa Township’s population increased 25.3 percent but the community gained the most residents, 4,017, in the five-year period. “Clearly it shows there is continued interest in the southeast quadrant of the county,” said Genoa Township Supervisor Gary McCririe. “Those developing water and sewer districts have seen it, and that includes Genoa, Marion and Oceola.” Robert Hanvey, supervisor for Marion Township, said the numbers are no surprise to officials in that bedroom commimity, where there is little commercial growth and none is planned. “We’ve been watching these numbers through SEMCOG (the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments),” he said. “Our master (land use) plan has just been redone in the last year and we’re doing what we can to support it.” The Census estimates do not reflect the past year’s activity that has been affected by a slow economy: “The number of landuse permits has slowed down substantially,” Hanvey said. McCririe said the growth will likely slow especially with the water and sewer district more than 80 percent built out. “We’ve seen a significant decrease (in permits) and I’m hearing the same things from the other communities and the development community as well,” he said. “I expect it will be flat for 2006, then we’ll see where it goes from there.” McCririe said the downside of population growth is the continued pressure for essential services such as police and fire, and wear on the road system which cannot be corrected until after development comes. The upside is better school systems and quality of life. Experts attribute decreasing populations in larger communities in the region such as Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti to shrinking household size. Livingston County communities, including the cities of Howell and Brighton and the villages of Fowlerville and Pinckney, have continued to see increases, but not as much as their neighboring townships. Kathleen Kline-Hudson, assistant director of the Livingston County Planning Department, said double-digit increases in the census report were no surprise. A dramatic percentage change wasn’t necessarily a big jump in a small community, she noted. The path of growth continues along toe US-23 and 1-96 corridors and in other places accessible to highways, continuing the county’s popffiarity as a highgrowth area for many who work elsewhere. “The frontier continues to push westward,” Kline- Hudson said. Growth in rural townships is in some cases explained by large new developments coming on line, planning officials said. Another factor is what University of Michigan demographer Bill Frey calls “microdispersal.” “Suburbs continue to spawn suburbs,” he said. Population growth U.S. Census data show that population growth in the first half of the decade has occurred mostly in townships including 30 percent-plus increases in Oceola and Marion townships. Decreases around the area have occurred in city centers such as Ann Arbor. 0 .0 -5 .0% increase J S .1 -1 0 .0 % 1 increase | 101-20.0« increase Brig^onTwp.j 20.1- Brighton I UnacNiia PtadBlty i / i| I !

Howell schools $66 million spending plan gets board OK Howell Public Schools has approved a $66.3 million budget for the 2006-07 fiscal year, including $2.3 million in cuts. The budget assumed an increase of 125 student and eight new teachers to handle toe anticipated growth, bringing toe number of full-time teachers to 475. The district’s surplus would be at 2 percent of budget or $1.3 million. Associate Superintendent Rick Terres told the board Monday they were approving a budget without knowledge of what state per-pupil funding would be, but that, by law, a balanced budget is required at this time. He used $230 a student as an estimate in making his recommendations. The board also increased fees for building and field use by 20 percent, which is expected to bring in another $20,000 in revenues. Trustees also voted not to reduce the number of days in the school year - something they were considering to save costs. Instead, toe district will beef up Medicaid billings for school services to the federal government, a move that is expected to bring in $150,000 in revenues. Terres said if state funding continues on its current path, the district will face a deficit between $3 million and $4 million at this time next year.

That form, which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise cf reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. ... For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.” When he wrote those words in a letter dated June 24,1826, Thomas Jefferson was declining an invitation to the 50th anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence. Historians tell us that Jefferson, the mastermind behind the historic document, was gravely ill at the time. The letter containing those words was the last letter Jefferson wrote. In the coming days we will celebrate the 230th anniversary of what some have called our nation’s most cherished symbol of liberty. As has become our custom, there will be parades, lots of flag waving, fireworks, picnics and public gatherings in communities large and small. I think Jefferson’s words are especially important this year in Livingston County. Several recent events point out how treasured to us is the right of free speech or the freedom of expression. It’s important to remember that the freedom to express strong opinions, especially on items involving the pubhc or public institutions, is a right that people have been willing to sacrifice their lives to protect. Over the past few weeks there have been strong opinions expressed in the county on these topics: ■ The student club flags at Howell High School. ■ The 6-6-06 celebration in Hell. ■ The public sculptures on display in downtown Brighton. In all of these instances, there have been strong, articulate expressions of opinion. Some of the strongest have been in opposition: to the Diversity Club flag at Howell High; to the crowd generated by the 6-6-06 event in Hell; to some of the sculptures in downtown Brighton. People here take Thomas Jefferson at his word. They exercise their freedom of speech and they are heard. But it is important to remember that the loud voices of opposition are not inherently right. There are times when the loudest voices are, well, just the loudest voices. Opponents of anything deserve to be heard. But there are times when, after careful consideration of the voices of dissent, the right thing to do, for the broader benefit of the community or the school district or the downtown business district, is to stay the course, or move in a different direction. In Howell, the school board has decided to take down the Diversity Club flag and the TYaditional Values Club flag. Equal treatment, just as the schools offered equal treatment with the hanging of the flags. But diversity, however defined, is something we all should defend. In Putnam Township, where the supervisor seems to be the one who wanted John Colone punished for his disruptive 6-6- 06 celebration in Hell, the Pinckney area business community has rallied to support S E E FITZGERALD, 83 Balloon challenge celebrates 22 years PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLAJHE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS The Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell gets off to a spectacular start at the mass balloon launch on June 23. Rising above it all in Howell Balloonfest benefits from great weather, enthusiastic crowds BY TOM TOLEN N e w s S t a f f R e p o r t e r By all accounts, the 22nd annual Michigan Challenge Balloonfest, which concluded Sunday, was a rousing success. Balloonfest Manager Michelle Tokan said more than 100,000 people attended at least one of the three days of the festival, annually the biggest spectator event in Livingston County. ■ To Howell Mayor Geraldine Moen, the Balloonfest is Howell’s premiere annual event. “We have Melon Festival, we have a Fantasy of Lights, but there’s nothing quite like hot air balloons,” she told pilots at one of their pre-flight briefings. Helping attendance this year was the weather, the best in several years, officials said. Skies were sunny or partly sunny during the entire festival, it didn’t rain and high temperatures were in the low 80s. “The weather was gorgeous,” Tokan said. Soft breezes also contributed to the Balloonfest’s success, with all of the fivp scheduled balloon flights taking place as scheduled. In past years, the norm has been for one or more flights to be canceled due to inclement weather. “I think Michigan Challenge 22 was certainly one of the best in the event’s history,” Tokan said in summing up the celebration. A total of 54 pilots from several states competed in the state hot air ballooning championship, with Shawn Raya of Oxford - who took home $1,000 in cash, a trophy and a prize - taking first place. Points earned in the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest count toward the national championship. Finishing runner-up was Andy Baird of Stockbridge, who garnered $500. In third place was Derrick Jones of Battle Creek, who won $500. Jones said he wouldn’t miss Balloonfest for the world. “It’s just the challenge and excitement of flying,” he said. “It’s about the fun, family, fellowship, and all the people you can share the experience with.” Spectator Duane Reynolds of Farmington was enjoying his first Balloonfest ever. “It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a mass balloon launch; the colors are the best,” Reynolds said. “It couldn’t have been better weather.” “I just think (the balloons) are gorgeous,” said Joan Aubry of Oxford. “I’m just amazed at the people here, they’re everywhere.” “(I like) watching the (balloons) Above, entertainer Prentice Chaffin sings Eivis tunes for the crowd.

Going to the birds in Hartland The Rainbow Feather Bird Club came to Hartland’s Cromaine Library recently with 20 birds to entertain and educate a crowd of 75 children and adults.
