The percentage of fiber goes well beyond industry standards. Our newsprint waste is recycled and all of our newsprint cores are returned to the manufacturers. The metal plates used in our printing process are all recycled. In addition, all of our colored ink is soy-based and we encourage the purchase of office products made from recycled products. We also participate in a successful internal recycling program. We recycle paper and cardboard, as well as metal, plastic and glass containers. — THE LIVINGSTON — COMMUNITY N E W S P a y r o ll A d m in i s t r a t o r L oca l C o n s tru c tio n Co se ek s h a rd w o rk e r w ith 3 + y rs p a y ro ll a dm in is t ra to r e x p e rie n c e .

Local agencies have joined toge the r to ra ise awareness of the problem and a re sponsoring a two-day conference May 6-7 titled “Bridges Out of Poverty,” which is cosponsored by the Livingston County D epa rtment of Human Services.

Hit with financial problems and declining enrollment, the once rapidly growing district is backtracking on plans to have two fully operating high school campuses. Under a school board vote Monday night, the new Pa rke r Campus will be closed for the 2008-09 school year, except for portions used for special programs, and by Lansing Community College. The board says it will continue to review the situation each year. The Parker Campus, located on D-19, south of Howell in Marion Township, is being used this school year to house the district’s 10th- through 12th-graders, while Howell High School undergoes renovation. The district’s ninth-graders are in the Freshman Campus building, which is the former McPherson Middle School, next to Howell High School. Under the scenario approved by the board on a 6-1 vote, the ninth graders will remain at the Freshman Campus SEE HOW E L L , A4 District selects a firm to search for a new school superintendent, AS S c h o o l c h i e f s a y s d i s t r i c t w ill l ik e ly r u n o u t o f m o n e y B Y L IS A C A R O L IN The Livingston Community News Brighton Area Schools has “a budget in distre ss” tha t will put the •district in a deficit situation by June 2009, Superintendent Jim Craig said Monday. “We project that the fund balance will be essentially gone a t the end of this school year,” Craig said in presenting the district’s 2008-09 budget to the Board of Education. A decrease in enrollment and increase in expenditures th a t’s lasted several years contribute to the deficit, Craig said. Expenditures, including the threeyear te a ch e rs’ contract approved last week and the increased cost of electricity, diesel fuel, and overall school building costs, will force Brighton to take $1.7 million from its reserves, leaving only $68,000 in the fund balance, Craig said.

Craig recommended putting together a task force of 20-30 people, including a board liaison, administrators, employees, parents, students and community members to review the budget, analyze revenue and make recommendations for balancing the budget.

It was the township’s third annual Huron River Clean- Up Day. Dozens of volunteers gathered a t Livingston County Wildlife and Conservation Club on East M-36 for a day of work. The cleanup day, as well as harvesting curly-leafed pondweed, costs the township between $12,000 and $14,000 annually; about half of this is covered by a state grant. Officials have said the cost is significantly less than the $345,000 it paid to repair its sewer system after flooding to the area in 2004. It is also a way to get residents involved with the river and their community, they added. Providing muscle power to corral a log, above, are, from left, Dan Aten and Bobby Zielinski of Pinckney and Mike Krause of Fowlerville. At left, rather than start the engine and then jockey the boat around to get to the next work site, Pat Hohl, holding the anchor, pulls the boat the short distance to the next site. A patio umbrella somehow found its way to the upper banks of the Huron River. Dan Aten, left, and Bobby Zielinski walk it down to the trash boat so it can be hauled away. Above are boats full of some of the items pulled from the river at the Hamburg Township site. W om a n h e ld in m u rd e r-fo r-h ire p lo t B Y T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News Police say a Livingston County woman plotted to have her husband killed, meeting a potential hit man in the parking lot of a Target store in Brighton. But the hit man was really an undercover police ofBcer who secretly tape-recorded the meeting Monday. Kimberly Castle Ousley of Handy Township was arrested in the Target store parking lot, on her 48th birthday, and jailed on a charge of solicitation of murder. Authorities announced the arrest during a news conference Ttiesday and said they weren’t aware of any marital difficulties or pending plans for divorce that 1 ^ to the plot. “Her reaction (to being arrested) was stoic,” Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse said. Morse said the Michigan State Police post in Gaylord Kimberly Castle Ousley received a call about two weeks ago from someone Ousley confided in, who said Ousley talked about wanting to have her husband killed. Morse did not say who that person was and would only reveal that “it was someone she had reached out to.” An undercover officer with the TW-County Metro Narcotics Squad, based in Lansing, agreed to pose as the potential hit man, police said. A meeting was set up in the parking lot of the Target store at West Grand River Avenue and Chalks Road. State Police Detective Sgt. Sean FUrlong said he couldn’t discuss a motive for the crime or what Ousley may have been willing to pay to have her husband killed. Authorities said Ousley’s husband, Ihacy Ousley, was unaware of any plot until they informed him. He is caring for his terminally ill father, who lives in Kentucl^', police said. The Ousleys have one child, a grown daughter. Kimberly Ousley, who has no criminal history, was arraigned Ihesday and held on $500,000 cash bond. A preliminary hearing was set for next Tuesday before District Judge Carol Sue Reader. Morse said Ousley did not have an attorney present lUesday, but indicated she would retain her own legal counsel. If convicted, Ousley could receive up to life in prison. Ousley is a former employee of the Fowlerville Community Schools, Morse and Rirlong said. They said they had no information on whether she is currently employed.

About 110 students in grades 9 through 11 participated in the activity, held to raise awareness about homelessness locally and nationally. “We have raised $9,200 and more is still coming in,” Coordinator Cindy Perlman, a teacher at the Freshman Campus, said Tuesday. It’s about three times the amount raised last year, when a much smaller group of students participated, Perlman said. Proceeds were to be divided between The Connection - a teen runaway shelter program in Livingston County, The Salvation Army REACH program and the Oakland- Livingston Human Services Agency. Students also collected 1,376 pounds of nonperishable food items for Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston County. “They really did well,” Perlman said. “It was windy and rainy and they were hungry, and it served to increase their empathy toward the homeless and what they endure, not for a weekend, but on a daily basis.” The students stayed overnight in large cardboard boxes and each subsisted on two peanut-butter sandwiches and a bottle of water. They were allowed to bring one sleeping bag and one blanket, but no electronic devices. Despite a light rain, the students remained outdoors for 24 hours last Friday and Saturday afternoons. - Tom Tolen Above, Brittany Greek, 14, left, and Katie Gearhart, 14. nestle into their cardboard box home for the night.

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS C ra ftsm a n w in d s u p city clock project O ld T o w n H a ll in B r i g h t o n a l s o g e t t i n g a f a c e l i f t BY T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News Two familiar fixtures in downtown Brighton a re ge tting a facelift. The clock a t St. Paul and Main s tre e ts is being r e paired, thanks to a city employee who normally p e rforms inspections of homes and busin e sse s and similar duties. Right behind the clock, Old Town Hall also is being repaired. City Building Official Jim Rowell, a c raftsman in his sp a re time, has worked on the clock over the la st several months in the garage of his home. The city’s downtown clock hadn’t worked for the la st few years, although a couple of unsuccessful a ttempts had been made to fix it, switching it from electrical to battery-operated clock faces. Brighton Community Development and Planning Dire c to r Matt Modrack came to the conclusion the city couldn’t find a company to rep a ir it, although the base and clock enclosure were fine. Officials put a new clock in the long-range capital improvement projects bud- City of Brighton Building Official Jim Rowell, a craftsman , in his spare time, has worked on the clock at St. Paul and Main streets in the city over the last several months. TOM TOLEN,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS get, with an estima ted cost figure of $25,000. “I knew I could do it so I volunteered,” Rowell said. Modrack said Rowell is saving the city thousands of dollars by doing the rep a ir work himself. The only cost to the city is about $2,000 for new clock faces and parts. “I t’s a good solution in this day of limited re so u rc es, and we appre c ia te tha t (Rowell) would use his own time,” Modrack said. “Every downtown needs a clock,” he added. The clock will have th re e new Plexiglas faces looking in th re e directions. Originally it was intended to have four faces, but “I want to be able to access the clock to fix it,” Rowell said, adding he will keep the extra motor as a spare. He also has fashioned a control box in the base to keep the clocks synchronized with each other and to move them ahead and back one hour twice each year. The clock was to be upand- running by this weekend. Even though the clock and Old Town Hall a re situ ated next to each other, city Public Services Director Matt Schindewolf said it is coincidence th a t the hall and clock were being done a t the same time. “There were various maintenance issues (on both), and it was an opportune time to accomplish it,” Schindewolf said. Constructed in 1879, Old Town Hall was used in the early days as a combination village hall, fire station and jail. Currently, the city owns it, and ren ts it out. Schindewolf said the bigg e st job was repairing the cupola th a t re s ts atop the building th a t was d e te rio rating. They also rebuilt the balcony, rep a ired the masonry with new mortar, did in te rior roof work and repainted doors. Lindhout Associates was the a rch ite c t and work was performed by Corrigan Construction Co.. “The city is d em o n stra ting an awareness of the value of the historical ch a ra c te r of the downtown a re a in completing this project,” noted Marieanna Bair, board member of the Brighton Historical Society.

Longtime farmer Lyle Herbst, 93, dies BY STEPHENIEKOEHN News Special Writer A beloved historical voice in Livingston County has been stilled. Lyle Herbst, 93, died on April 22 and, with him, a lifetime of memories of the county as it was in the days before electricity, strip malls and four-lane expressways. “He was, hands-down, the most interesting person I have ever known,” said Kelly Poburslg:, who met Herbst at the assisted living apartment in Brighton where he lived for the past year. “When he told stories, they were so vivid that it was as if you were there. He always had time to tell a story if you had time to listen.” Herbst grew up on his parents’ farm just west of Brighton. In his teens, he operated a thriving ice-harvesting business, selling ice from Lime Lake to area residents and businesses. He married Ila Merrell in 1942, just before entering the Lyle Herbst Army. He served as a medic in the Pacific Theatre and earned s k Bronze Stars. After his discharge from the service, he returned home and, in 1950, purchased the 180- acre dairy farm in the vicinity of Dorr and Crooked Lake Roads that was originally farmed by his great grandfather. There, he and Ila raised three daughters. In 1962, when the Federal Interstate Highway system was being built, 31 of Herbst’s acres were claimed to build 1-96. Afterwards, water draining from the freeway flooded another 25 or 30 acres of his property, forcing him to disband his dairy operation and to begin raising beef cattle instead. Herbst liked to tell the story about the flooding. The state, after repeated telephone calls from Herbst, finally sent out a man to assess the problem. “They sent a man out with a pickup truck to look things over and the damn fool got stuck,” Herbst said, with obvious glee, in an interview a few months before he died. “They had to get a wrecker to pull him out.” He never received any recompense for the land, which is all wetlands now. A lifelong county resident, Herbst was a 1939 graduate of Brighton High School. He was also a former Livingston County Commissioner, a member of the Farm Bureau Pioneers of 39 and a member of St. George Lutheran Church. Herbst is survived by his daughters, Jo an Van Oortmarssen of Brighton, England, Je a n Knight of Maryland and Cheryl Emge of Illinois, and by his granddaughter, Carrie Emge of Illinois. He is also survived by his brother, Merrill Herbst and two siste rs, Maxine Labushchewsky and Lois Green, all of Brighton. His funeral was at Lakeview Cemetery in Howell on Monday.

The new chairman of the Pinckney-Lakeland- Hamburg-Hell division of the G re a te r Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce, business owner and promoter of the Putnam Township hamlet of Hell, seemed bemused when he mentioned local re sponse to his former employee Erik Reichenbach’s, performance on CBS’ “Sur-_ vivor” reality show. “It has been so su rp ris ing how many families have been coming by with au tograph books for Erik to sign,” Colone said.

This is from a man whose new Hell Gazette newspaper is being produced by ghost-writers. So, it seems, business is good in Hell the se days. Village President Rebecca Foster reported on similarly productive activity down the road in Pinckney. “We’re having our own mini-economic-boom,” Foste r said. “And we don’t have any roundabouts in Pinckney.” She mentioned developments such as Taco Bell, which has indicated it will apply for a pne-year extension on its site plan; the Pet Shop Boutique th a t will open soon; a new hair salon downtown; a coney island re s ta u ra n t th a t will take over the former PT’s F re sh Mex re s ta u ra n t space; and Pinckney Downtown Development Authority plans for municipal parking in th re e areas.

BRIGHTON FROM A1 B o a rd o f e d u c a t io n a p p ro v e s n e w 3 -y e a r te a c h e r c o n t ra c t budget must be adopted by July 1. The school board has four scheduled meetings left before that date. The board also voted to lay off 11 teachers in both fulland part-time positions at Monday’s meeting. By contract, teachers had to be notified of layoffs by April 30. On April 24, the school board approved a three-year contract for the Brighton Education Association, re troactive to the 2007-08 school year and lasting through the 2009-10 school year. The salary schedule will be increased 1.13 percent the first year and 2.26 percent in years two and three of the contract. The agreement changes the tea che rs’ health insurance plan from a Super Care program, in which they paid $620 per year and could go to any doctor, to a preferred provider plan from the Michigan Education Special Services Association tha t requires them to pay $450 annually. “The three-year contract is mutual, but there are always compromises,” said Brighton Education Association President Barry Goode. “The raises are not keeping up with the cost of living. The s ^ will be falling now that the budget talks are beginning.” BRIDGES FROM A1 T r a in in g in c lu d e s c a s e s tu d ie s , a n a ly s e s a n d s o lu t io n s payments, a re now facing poverty.

MARKET FROM At P r o je c t FR E SH g o a l: H e a t h ly f r u it s , v e g e t a b le s f o r a ll 'Getting healthy food to all of our residents is vital. It's also beneficial to our farmers and growers because they are serving new customers, people who might otherwise have never bought from them.' Pat Convery, president, Howell Area Chamber of Commerce years,” she said, emphasizing the need for Brighton to join this year’s effort. “I think people can use the help these days with the economy and everything.” Organizers of the Howell farmers market saw the benefits of providing fresh fruits and vegetables back in 2000, as the county’s first Project FRESH participating market. “Getting healthy food to all of our residents is vital,” said Pat Convery, president of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, organizing agent for the city market, now entering it’s 15th year. “It’s also beneficial to our farmers and growers because they are serving new customers, people who might otherwise have never bought from them.” Project FRESH, piloted outside the state in 1986, came to Michigan in 1989 under the sta te ’s Department of Agriculture. Today, the program is overseen by the sta te ’s Department of Community Health in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Michigan State University Extention/Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program and the Family Nutritional Program. The Fowlerville market has participated in Project FRESH since 2007. They participate because it “important to promote proper nutrition with fresh produce as opposed to whatever is affordable,” said Kim Sergent- Kohlsmith, market manager for Fowlerville’s five-year project run through the city’s Downtown Development Authority. WIC clients identify participating vendors through laminated yellow poster which reads: “Project FRESH Coupons Accepted Here.” Kohlsmith estimates that 25 percent of her market shoppers look for this sign. While shoppers at the Hartland farmers market will not yet find those Project FRESH signs, market manager Kathie Horning says they “are looking into it right now.” The program is a cooperative effort through the township, Hartland Consolidated Schools and Hartland Chamber of Commerce. All of the area farmers markets open this weekend or in the coming week. Laurie Humphrey can be reached at Ihumphrey® livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2003.

That was the recommendation of the school administration, headed by Deputy Superintendent Lynn Parrish. Board Secretary Kim Shumaker cast the lone dissenting vote. “I prioritize quality over convenience,” Shumake r said. Board President Phil Westmoreland said the central location on the west side of Howell will be b e tte r for the freshmen students because it’s next to Howell High School. The current separation re quires shuttling of some freshman students who participate in programs at the high school, such as advanced placement classes or band. The discussion leading to the about-face came up at the April 14 meeting, when Associate Superintendent for Business Rick Terres said the district would save at least $60,000, and probably more, by closing Parker and keeping ninth-graders at the fi-eshman campus. Terres said Monday the “most likely case scenario” will find the district around $2.2 million in the red without corresponding cuts to balance the budget. It was the second time the board had changed its mind regarding building use for secondary grades next year. A plan chosen in February would have housed students in grades 11 and 12, and those in grades nine and 10 living on the north side of the district, at Howell High School. Students in grades nine and 10 living on the south side of the district would have gone to Parker. Two weeks later, based on new numbers, the board voted to approve a plan that would have closed the Freshman Campus and placed all ninth-graders at Parker. Board member Wendy Day had argued from the beginning in favor of closing Parke r while conducting a building study, but could garner no board support at the time. She said after Monday’s meeting th a t being vindicated is not important. “It’s not about being right, it’s about making the right decision,” Day said. Day said like it or not, building use is an issue the district will regularly have to face. “This is really the beginning, because now the board can do a study of all schools, K-12, to determine how to make the best use of all the facilities in the district,” she said. Day said building use was chosen as one of the top priorities on a preliminary list of school district goals tha t was developed a t an April 17 board workshop. Although several board members said they were uncomfortable with partially closing Parker, they felt it was unavoidable in the face of the financial crisis Westmoreland said the ultimate goal is still to have two high schools.

D o g g i e d ir e c t io n s Area trainers help pet owners solve their canine's behavior problems BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News C ommunicating with a dog doesn’t always go as smoothly as a pet owner might hope. Who can you call for help? One choice is a company called Bark Busters, which has franchises throughout the U.S., including one in Livingston County. The company was sta rte d in Australia in 1989 and brought to the U.S. seven y e a rs ago. The local franchise owners are Ruth Skinner and Kendra Monroe. E a rlie r this month, Skinner and Monroe teamed up for a job a t the Brighton Township home of Robin Svoboda, owner of two Labrador retrievers: 6- year-old Dakota and 3-year-old Chase. “Chase is a barker, who jumps on gue sts,” explained Svoboda. “He’s lovable, but naughty.” Svoboda, who will share what she le a rns with h e r h usband and teenage children, has had both dogs since they were puppies. Skinner s ta rts the visit with a lesson for Svoboda about understanding a dog’s body language. She differentiates between the signs of dominance (tail and head up, jumping and staring) and those of submission (tail, e a rs and head down Ruth Skinner with Bark Busters, always starts her home visits with a lesson about understanding a dog's body language. Here, she educates new client, Robin Svoboda, while Bark Buster trainer Kendra Monroe listens in the background. and rolling over). “Submission is what you want,” says Skinner. “Th a t’s when the dog is showing you respect. It will c re a te a happier, calmer dog when it sees you.” Skinner says being calm and still and standing tall when correcting a dog is important. She says specific verbal communication also is important. “Use one word,” says Skinner. “Growl the word ‘b ah ’ a t the dog when it’s doing something you don’t want it to do. Don’t give them tre a ts , but ra th e r praise the dog when it listens to your command.” Skinner and Monroe work with a tool called a dog snap, which can be in the form of a small metal chain or a bean bag. Throwing the tool a t the floor c re a te s an unpleasant noise for the dog th a t helps with a correction. Skinner and Monroe say th a t some of the most common problems they deal with a re aggressive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety who te a r things up when the owner leaves the house, and sibling rivalry when th e re is more than one dog in the house. “We usually make at least two visits to a home, but it is case dependent,” explains Monroe, who says Bark Busters charges a one-time fee and offers a lifetime guarantee. “Even if a problem comes back years la te r with the dog, we are available to help.” The sooner a puppy is educated, the better.' Kendra Monroe, Bark Busters trainer Bark B usters trainers attend a six-week academy in Colorado to learn their skills and re turn periodically for continuing education. “We do a lot of puppy tra in ing,” says Monroe. “The sooner a puppy is educated, the be tter.” What is the biggest mistake dog owners make? Monroe says, “We humanize our dogs. Some people tre a t them like babies, but they are their own species.” “What we call a ‘sad dog look’ is really a submissive look of a dog acknowledging something,” says Skinner. “Interpreting the face as sad is p a rt of the humanizing problem.” Monroe says they work with all breeds of dogs and that some need stronger leadership, citing Ja ck Russell te rrie rs as one of the more challenging breeds to train.

David Bridgens, docent liaison for the Education Department of the Michigan Historical Museum, visited Fbwlerville last week to mentor the budding docents at Kreeger. He listened to each student team describe his or her display, praised their efforts, gave specific suggestions for improvement, coached them on speaking up and smiling, and told them to memorize their presentation by reading it three times morning and night. “I’m also there to give encouragement,” Bridgens said. “I ask questions as if I were one of their grandparents and they should know the answers.

MOTORCYCLES FROM A5 L o c a l b ik e r g r o u p t a k e s w a r n in g m e s s a g e o n t h e ro a d ness to an All Star Driving School class at Brighton High School. They talked about the dangers motorcyclists face on the road, about why bikers wear leather and about how the rest of us can improve roadway safety by “looldng twice.” As a bicyclist who also uses those same roads a t a much slower speed, I was very interested in what this trio had to say. The students seemed to really pay attention to the information. By a show of hands it looked like about 75 percent of the class of 27 had a friend or family member who rode a motorcycle. The speakers handed out “look twice” bumper stickers, ABATE key rings and provided every student with an informational brochure. Over and over, Lotz emphasized that in most cases all it takes is being cautious - look twice - to avoid a car-motorcycle crash. He also noted that 70 percent of car-motorcycle crashes are the fault of the car driver. It was easy to see how that could be the case as we watched several short videos of various traffic situations. In one, not one of us saw the crash coming until the biker slammed into the side of a car that pulled out in front of the motorcycle. Lotz explained that motorists often misjudge the speed of the motorcycle because it appears so much smaller and deceptively farther away. Motorists often crowd motorcycles ahead of them, they said, because the motorists can see right past the motorcycle. While new drivers cannot get a motorcycle license until they have a full, unrestricted license, Pettit recommends waiting even longer. He thinks new drivers need a couple years of auto driving experience before ever getting on a Harley. He also says everyone should take a motorcycle safety class and be committed to paying a tten tion 100 percent of the time. “You have to be a little paranoid to ride a bike,” he says. Tim Wise, All Star Driving School’s lead te a che r in Brighton, says he appreciates the effort ABATE puts into the motorcycle safety presentations. He doesn’t ride a motorcycle, but he says it’s clear th a t the number of bikes bn the road is increasing. New drivers “need to know how to respond,” he says. ABATE pays for all its material through fundraising group rides. The regional group tha t covers Livingston and Washtenaw counties staged a ride in April near tax deadline day and has another one coming up in June pegged to F a th e r’s Day. In the last few years, Terry Lotz says, ABATE has made presentations to nearly 8,000 student drivers in this region; more than 50,000 statewide. He says the issue is so important to him, he’ll go anywhere, to any group, to talk about motorcycle awareness. “My hope,” Kathy Lotz says, is tha t at least one (student) in each class pays more attention to motorcycles on the road.” For information on ABATE, contact the Lotzes at 517-546- 6608 or Pettit at 734-834-7694.

He has been leading students in the project since 1998, when he taught at St. Martha’s School in (Dkemos. This year all the fourth-grade teachers at Kreeger chose to participate. Teacher Michelle Guichard- Wojcik said she was excited when Damerow decided to expand his idea. “Authentic experiences are key - the more real you make li and the more connections you make, the better everyone learns,” she said. “The students picked their own topics; they identified 10 investigation questions and that’s how they launched their research.” Damerow’s students chose topics about Michigan Native Americans. Student Dakota Byers’ group painted rocks to simulate petroglyphs in their presentation, titled “Indian Rock Art.” “They looked pretty cool,” Dakota said. “One looks like a spoon with a bunch of lines around it. Another looks like a guy dancing around, maybe, fire.” Jacob Ja rvis’ group put together a presentation titled “Early Woodland Indians.” “I liked the project because of all the decorations - the spear, the doll, the pot, the eagle and the picture of the mask that scared evil spirits,” Jacob said. “We’re gong | | to show our project and tell about how they lived and where they lived and how they hunted. When we go to the museum in Lansing, we’ll show it to a lot of people. People are going to come up and ask us questions. It’s go- ^ ing to be both interesting and scary.” That combination of interesting and scary is exactly what the teacher ordered, according to Damerow. “It’s a hands-on learning experience that they remember forever,” Damerow said. “My St. Martha’s kids are graduating from high school this year. I got a letter from one as part of his senior project saying he would never forget his museum project.” Putnam Township Board Minutes Synopsis April 16, 2008 The regular meeting of the Putnam Township Board was held on Wednesday.

Main Street, Brighton Online: www.mlive.com/livingstoncommunitynews Main Telephone: (810)844- A8 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2008 'S w a m p O p e ra ' c a llin g all mice, f r o g s a n d ca ts BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News Playwright Shirley Mitchell has spent five years c re ating, nurturing and evolving the cha ra c ters for the world premiere of h e r first work entitled “Swamp Opera.” Beginning May 12, the Marion Township woman will take the next step, and seek out those who can bring her beloved animal characters to life for a six-show p re sen ta tion slated for this fall. “I’ve been living with them (the characters,)” said Mitchell, whose re c en t life has been consumed with visions of frogs, mice, cats and a host of othe r swamp animals.

It s ta rts with an orphaned baby mouse, who is raised by Uncle Rat. As the father- figure ages, he worries about the young mouse’s future and devises a plan to en su re h e r well-being. But plans hatched by caregivers don’t always parallel plans of young souls in love. “It’s a story about a frog and a mouse with universal themes like young love, forgiveness and redemption,” said Rebecca Dilworth, the show’s producer. “It’s a real family show. The kids are going to laugh and the adults are going to connect with the themes.” Mitchell, who has been staging short readings of her work to see how characters interact, has been helped by family and friends, most notably her husband Stuart Mitchell, also known as Heywood Banks. The pair worked together to create the show’s music, 18 never-heard-before songs tha t range in style from folk to rock ‘n’ roll. “I think it was the music, or songs, tha t actually first caught people’s attention,” said Mitchell.

CTH brought in Din worth, a seasoned director with a whimsical approach. “Rebecca provided the insight, vision, and enthusiasm for this. Without her. I’d still be shopping this,” said Mitchell. Mitchell often reflects on the process, and believes she’s got the material needed for two more plays, though those ideas have had to wait. “It’s been a lot of fun, but until (Swamp Opera) is done, it’s all I can think of.” CTH will underwrite the two-hour production shown on its stage Fridays through Sundays, Sept. 12 through 21. Then Mitchell will shop it around again. “I dream of showing it in Paris (France,)” she said. “They love American theater, and this has a lot of French influences.” Tryouts for the local production will begin a t 4:30 p.m., May 12-13, at the Howell High School Freshman Campus, 1400 W.

Firm picked for Howell school chief search BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News The Howell Public Schools board, looking for a superintendent to replace Chuck Breiner, this week chose the same search firm that had been used to find the last two chief administrators in the nearby Pinckney Community Schools. The board selected TD and Associates of Westcliffe, Colo., over Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates of Glenview, 111. Other firms that submitted proposals were the Michigan Leadership Institute of Livonia and (Cascade Consulting Group of Bellevue, Wash. The firms were invited to the April 28 school board meeting for interviews. Board Vice President Jeannine Pratt said TD and Associates came highly recommended by Pinckney Board of Education President Ann Colone. The company, headed by Terre Davis, was used by Pinckney when it chose Mike Couchman, who served for a decade before retiring in 2006, as well as Dan DanoslQ^, its current superintendent. Davis said her goal for Howell is to have a new superintendent on board by mid-July to replace Breiner, who recently reached a settlement with the school board to leave his post. She said she will m eet with focus groups and talk with teachers, administrators, community groups, private citizens and even high school students. “We tend to forget it’s about them,” she said. Davis quoted a flat fee of $17,500, whereas most of the other firms gave a basic price that did not include extras such as travel and lodging expenses. “(Terre Davis) has a cap on hers, and there’s no additional costs,” Board President Phil Westmoreland said in voting for TD and Associates. Davis said she does “one or two” superintendent searches per year on her own, but does extensive work for Ray & Associates, one of the country’s largest such firms. In the balloting, the board gave their top choice five points, then three and one for second and third place, respectively. TD and Associates finished with 19 points, edging out HYA by one point. In the formal vote, Davis’ firm won out, 4-3. Davis said she would likely compile a list of 20 candidates, most finm within the state.

There’s something for everyone: junior Olympics for kids, a basketball tournament for hoopers of all ages and an Eco Flin Challenge for adventure lovers. You might want to check them out: ■ What a better way to celebrate an Olympic year than to get your kids involved in Saturday’s Jr. Olympic Skills competition, a free national grassroots event being run ^ jointly by the Howell Parks ^ and Recreation Department and the Southeast Livingston County Recreation Authority. Boys and girls ages 5 to 13 can showcase their athletic abilities in four sports: basketball, soccer, tennis and P track & field. Youngsters can participate in any or all of the individual sports and advance through three levels of competition. Check-in at the Howell High School Fieldhouse and stadium, 1200 W. Grand River Ave., begins a t 8 a.m., with events at 9 a.m. ■ Weekend warriors can flock to the Howell Conference and Nature Center for the Eco Rm Challenge from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 10. For $50 per person, teams of four can challenge themselves in friendly competition with a zip line, archery, canoeing, a climbing tower, low ropes, a wildlife encounter, softball, Frisbee golf and more. No experience is needed, all skill levels are welcome and individuals without a team can be placed on one. Participants must be at least 18 years old. Lunch will be provided p by Outback Steakhouse. Ad- ^ vanced registration is re quired. For more information, call 517-546-0249 or visit www. howellnaturecenter.org. ■ The Howell High School Marketing II class is organizing a new 3-on^3 basketball tournament with proceeds going to the Livingston United Way. The tournament will sta rt at noon May 17 a t the Parker campus fieldhouse. Teams, which pay $30 to play, must be registered by May 9. Business sponsors can also donate money as sponsors in order to get their names printed on the back of jerseys. Co-organizer Jerrod Horan, a Howell senior, said the tour- P nament is replacing the volleyball tournament the class has hosted for several years. He said 16 teams will play two games and then be seeded in an single-elimination tournament to simulate ^ the March Madness of the " NCAA Tournament. Horan said teams can be of any age or gender, so teenagers might end up playing against people as old as their parents. Horan said he has been out recruiting teams a t other area high schools, including rivals Brighton, Hartland, Pinckney and Fowlerville, so there could be some interesting match-ups. “There has been a lot of interest from the other schools,” Horan said. “(But) we are still looking to get more help, to get more teams or more people to set up for it.” To donate or participation, contact Jeremy Hazen at 517- A 402-3490 or Je rrod Horan at ^517-304-1646. If all goes well, basketball could be here to stay in a community not known as a hoops hotbed. “It’s all up to the class,” if it continues next year, Horan said. “But we’d like to see I basketball keep going. It is quick and simple.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ Hvingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. « A h a v e n f o r g o l f e r s a n d n a t u r e Lakelands maintains greens and stays green in approach to the environment B Y J A S O N D E E G A N The Livingston Community News All golf courses are filled with natural elements, such as grass, ponds, trees and sand. Some, like the Lakelands Golf & Country Club, stand out among the crowd for being more in tune with Mother Nature than others. Lakelands, a beloved 6,138- yard private course in Hamburg Township, recently retained its certification through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses, one of just 642 courses world-wide to be honored by Audubon International, a nonprofit, environmental education organization. AI analyzes courses by certain criteria, including Environmental Planning, Wildlife & Habitat Management, Outreach and Education, Chemical Use Reduction and Safety, Water Conservation and Water Quality Management. Lakelands, first certified by ACSP in 1999, goes an extra mile to care for its course in the most earth-friendly ways. Course superintendent Gregg Matthews said he takes pride in the honor. “It really does not cost more to be environmentally sensitive,” he said. “It is a mindset. I don’t want to spray chemicals. I want healthy plants (naturally).” Matthews, who has worked at the course two years, credits past superintendents for getting the prestigious certification, but he has made his mark as well. A bluebird trail that had fallen into disrepair was rebuilt by his staff in January, 2007.

The two Fowlerville seniors are ace pitchers for two programs hoping for special seasons. Both emerged as college recruits during breakout ju nior seasons. And they’re even better this spring. Donovan (12-1 with a 1.27 ERA this season as of April 29) has led the Gladiators to a 13-1 start. Wedesky, who is 4-0, has been a steady force behind Fowlerville’s 13-2 record. Their impressive careers beg the question: Are they the best in school history? Both athletes say they’re flattered with such talk. “I don’t worry about stats and different things like that,” Wedesky said, “but it’s an honor to be considered among the best in school history.” W ed e s k y 's a w in n e r Wedesky, who has signed to pitch a t Division 2 Wayne State University, is Fowlerville’s first big college recruit since John Steiger signed with Michigan State University.

S . t e a m B Y J A S O N D E E G A N The Livingston Community N^ws Courtney Nk didn’t let disappointment get her down. Not m a to g the U.S. jump rope team two years ago after a tryout in Colorado served as motivation instead of heartbreak. Nk, 16, a junior at Brighton High School, dedicated herself to jumping rope more than ever. The work paid off with a berth on the U.S. team that is heading to South Africa this summer for international competition. She finished ninth overall at tryouts in Ohio in January, with her combined scores in 1-minute and 3-minute speed, tripleunders and singles freestyle. “Not making it last time made me realize I had a lot to work on. I wanted to get there (on the team) and I said I would work harder,” she recalled. Her mom, Renee Nix, the coach of the Brighton-based Jumpin’ All-stars, saw her daughter’s focus intensify in the last year. Renee’s son, Brent, made the U.S. team two years ago that competed in Toronto. “She was determined not to give up, she really wanted to be on the U.S. team,” Renee N k said. “She trained. She trained really hard.” Courtney Nix, who ru n s cross country for the Bulldogs, is also gearing up for nationals Ju n e 26 in Orlando.

Matthews and his staff document how many bluebird eggs are laid in the boxes every year. “Bluebinls are great (for courses),” Matthews said. “They eat a lot of insects. They have pretty songs, too.” During a tour of the course last week, Matthews pointed out other environment^ practices as well: ■ The course houses two purple martin “condos” with multiple rooms for nests. ■ Matthews’ staff lets several natural areas, such as those between holes No. 17 and No. 4, No. 9 and No. 10 and No. 17 and the driving range, grow wild. “Elvery year or two, we bum them, just like the old farmers would, to release the natural nutrients from the soil,” Matthews added. ■ The maintenance staff triple rinses and shreds every plastic container for recycling. ■ The maintenance crew recycles its used oil. ■ The crew uses mostly organic materials to keep the grass healthy and growing. Matthews said even little things, such as making sure the mower blades are sharp enough to cut grass and not “wound” it, is critical. “Everything I do maintaining the course is geared toward the health of the flowers, GOLF CALENDAR ■ M a y 1 0 , O sm a n H o p e o u t in g , Jackal G o lf C lu b , 4141 B au er Road, B rig h to n . 2 p .m . s h o tg u n s ta rt.

Deer, fox, squirrels and many species of birds roam the grounds. Roger Groralski, an Oceola Township resident who is a member of the club’s greens committee, said the membership at Lakelands is committed to caring for the course. Elvery member is assigned a hole where they must pick up trash and repair ball marks once a week. “I think it’s great” (being certified by AI), Goralski said. “The feeling out here, listening to the birds, is wonderful. This course is just beautiful.” Being green applies to more than just the golf course, too. The club grows spices for its kitchen and its own pumpkins for an annual children’s Halloween party every October. Marla Elear, a Brighton resident who serves as the club’s advanced master gardener, cares for all the landscaping, including a butterfly gaixlen and flowers that attract hummingbirds. “You should see (this place) when everything’s in bloom,” she said.

ACES FROM B1 D u o o n lis t o f t o p p it c h e r s has a b etter resume, ranking sixth on the all-time Michigan High School Athletic Association strikeout list with 492 c areer Ks, including 20 in a single game in 1996, one off the state record. Wedesky has been clocked throwing up to 90 miles per hour, and has given up just one earned run this season. He has roughly 110 career strikeouts. “Josh is in the same class as Steiger,” said Fowlerville baseball coach Mike Hanna, who caught for Steiger in 1995. “(Steiger) went to MSU. Josh could have gone that way (to a Division I program). Steiger’s breaking ball is better, but Josh is one of the best we’ve had here.” Wedesky’s a proven winner. As a junior, he quarterbacked the football team to its best season ever (10-3), advancing to the Division 3 state semifinals. Following suit in baseball last spring, he led the Gladiators (31-8) to the Division 2 state semifinals. Wedesky, who bats sixth with roughly a .200 average, is tired of falling short of the state championship he covets. “We go into every game expecting to win,” he said. “We want to be a great team.” The Gladiators have plenty of talent, but Hanna said it’s tough to win a championship without an arm like Wedesky. “It gives everybody confidence tha t we have a chance to win every time he’s on the mound,” Hanna said. Donovan the dominator Where Donovan ranks among the school’s best conjures up serious debate. She’s carried the load for three seasons on teams that sometimes struggled, with a 41-27 record and 359 strikeouts. She will pitch at Siena Heights College this fall. “She’s got to be up there,” Fowlerville softball coach Kathy Detroyer said. “I’ve seen a lot (of former Fowlerville pitchers). I don’t remember anybody who has five different pitches. She works the plate well.” Fowlerville Junior High School Principal Tom Tannar, the district’s head softball coach from 1980-86 and 1995-97, put together an unofficial school record book that highlights his best pitchers. Ace Carli (Dey) Vaupel owns unofficial singleseason and career school records in strikeouts (232 in 1997, 537 total) and wins (24 wins in 1997, and 46 overall). Lindsey (Curtis) Feig had a school-record 1.04 earned run average in 1995. He includes Kathy wSker and Rhonda St. Charles among that elite group, too. “Every coach thinks that they have the best player,” said Tannar, who hasn’t seen Donovan pitch. “It would be hard to beat Lindsey and Carli. If Teaira is in that category, they will do well. “I hope she is better than they were. That would be great. If she is better, they will have a great season.” Detroyer said Donovan has added 5- to 10-miles p e r hour on her fast ball since leading the Gladiators to a Capital Area Activities Conference division III title last spring, the school’s first championship in a t least a decade. Donovan, who is batting .365 in the cleanup spot, said she’s b etter off after learning to control a rise ball that was a new pitch last year. “Over the summer, it was all I threw,” said Donovan, who played for the Ann Arbor Gold travel team. “I worked it so much, it’s almost perfect.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

Renee and Courtney Nix will teach local children the sport of jump rope and help feed 1,500 people. They will be gone from July 20 to August 7. “She’s always wanted to go on a mission trip. Now, she gets to do both,” Renee Nix said of her daughter. “It is neat because we get to work with somebotfy from home. We can’t image going from this lifestyle to that.” Courtney N k admitted to being hesitant about visiting Africa, but she’s warming up to the idea. “My fiiends are getting me all hyped up about it. I don’t get to meet a new culture every day,” she said.

Things like a vibrant downtown, affordable housing, public transportation, employment services, nearby social service agencies and even grocery stores that many city residents can walk to. Those amenities also make the community attractive to prison parolees returning to Livingston County. With the state planning to release as many as 11,000 inmates, city officials are concerned that cities such as Howell - that have the services parolees need - could bear a disproportionate burden. Tb get ahead of any possible influx of parolees, city officials are shoring up everything from rental housing ordinances to the way police officers work in the community. Community leaders are worried that Howell might be too attractive to agencies who place felons after they have served their prison terms. “There is a threat on the horizon,” said Howell Police Chief George Basar. “The question is ‘How do you want to deal with it?”’ Basar is responding to the Michigan Prisoner Re-entry Initiative, and raising concerns about a potential rise in crime, drop in properly values, and funding for program oversight. Elven with verbal assurances from officials who determine placements that only those parolees with famify ties in Howell will be placed in the city, Basar waswaiy. “This program looks good on paper,” the chief said, but “state legislators don’t always provide the necessary funding to support” their initiatives. The program is funded through June 2009. YOUNG CITIZEN OF THE YEAR G o - g e t t e r s e e k s t o i n s p i r e o t h e r s Award-winner aiming high B Y L E A N N E S M IT H The Livingston Community A/ews It’s common to see Marco Tori dashing through the halls of Pinckney Community High School. He’s a senior who’s covered a lot of ground when it comes to service and leadership, but still thinks he has a long way to go. “People always ask, ‘Marco, why are you walking so fast?”’ the 18-year-bld said. “I don’t want my youth to be wasted.” That go-all-the-time attitude and his ability to motivate fellow students to reach outside school walls to help their community have earned Tori the 2008 Livingston Community News Young Citizen of the Year Award. The award comes with a $1,000 scholarship from The News. “He inspires me,” said Ted KroU, Pinckney High’s student government adviser. “He makes me want to get things done.” Tori is student government president, but instead of using the position to advance only school causes, he’s urged the student body to reach out to their neighbors. “A lot of my peers are struck with indifference,” Tori said. “I don’t want to be like that, and I don’t want them to be like that. Let’s do something.” SEE YO U N G C IT IZE N , A4 M e e t o u r Young Citizen o f th e Year finalists: Katherine Anderson of Howell High School, Nicholas W ozniak o f Hartland High School and Matthew Hartwell of Brighton High School, A7.

The end result will be a fivelane roadway with center-turn lane from the Mobil and Speedway stations near the 1-96 interchange to Morgan Drive. From there, the road will narrow to three lanes heading north to Pulford Street. “It’ll be complete with improved water (lines), sewer (lines) and landscaping,” said Howell City Manager Shea Charles. Work is expected to start Monday and continue through mid-November. Flmds for the $3.1 million project comes mainly through federal highway, enhancement and economic development grants, with the city paying about $650,000. According to Chuck Chapman, owner of Howell 'Hue Value Hardware, 1076 S. Michigan Ave., the finished product will be well worth the cost and inconvenience. He anticipates a drop in revenue dming construction as intermittent project lane closures will likely cause some motorists to avoid the thoroughfare, but he is focusing on the future. “I’m not just looking to this project, but this is a precursor to ffie second (phase),” which includes roundabouts and a SEE D-1 9,A2 2 n d e x t e n d e d - s t a y h o t e l i s p l a n n e d a l o n g B r i g h t o n ' s L i b r a r y D r i v e $ 8 m i l l i o n C a n d l e w o o d S u i t e s p r o j e c t w i l l h a v e 3 s t o r i e s , 1 0 8 u n i t s B Y T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News A new extended-stay hotel could be open in Brighton by August 2009.

Organized by Howell Main Street and Downtown Development Authority for May 17 and 18, the event has grown because of the cooperative spirit of community members who share one vision - celebrating Howell’s architecture, ancestral lines and early days of prosperity. Howell Masons have organized a collectible and antique appraisal fair, while the Howell Area Historical Society pulled together historic home tours and a ca r show. First National Bank is bringing back the popular Victorian carriage rides. “We are the umbrella over these other organizations,” said Mindy Arnold, Howell’s Main Street manager. “We coordinate it and bring it all together.” The DDA also covers half the $6,000 cost for the two-day event. The remainder is raised through sponsorships and in-kind donations.

New to the program this year, Thayer will set up a coal forge and use an anvil and some hammers to show off his craft. “I’m doing this because it’s an opportunity to get out there,” said the ailist. He’s also passionate about local history. The goal of Howell History Days, which is staged each year in conjunction with Historic Preservation Month, is to educate people about preservation efforts in historic places. “There are probably people here that don’t appreciate that we have a Carnegie Library in Howell, but there are so few (Carnegie libraries,)” said Nathan Voght, DDA director. Carnegie libraries were built between 1883 and 1929 with money donated by Scottish- American businessman Andrew Carnegie. Ju s t over 2,500 Carnegie libraries were built around the globe in communities that requested funding and agreed to Carnegie’s terms for design and pre se rvation. Tours of the historic Livingston County Courthouse, The Opera House and area homes will be a big part of the weekend’s festivities, as will a walking tour of the downtown. Also added for this y e a r’s festival will be rides aboard the WALLY train, also known as the commuter rail service planned for daily travel between Howell and Ann Arbor. Rides in WALLY’s passenger cars will run between Howell and Zukey Lake Tavern in Lakeland. Tickets for any one of the four departures cost $10 a seat. Arnold expects more than 5,000 people to come downtown for the event if the weather cooperates. “This is ju st so weather-dependent,” she said when asked to anticipate attendance.

Their presentation on carriage houses before a packed a u ie n c e at the Howell Carnegie District Library last month provided a glimpse into the structures, the class of people who had them and those who have converted them into something useful today. “There are more than 40 barns” - also known as carriage houses - “still in Howell,” said Lois Winegar. “Most of them are used as garages today.” People walking downtown neighborhoods can see the A historical look ■ W h a t : A rc h iv e ro om v o lu n te e r s f r o m th e H o w e ll C a r n e g ie D is tr ic t L ib ra ry w a n t to s h a re s to r ie s f r o m " th e ir ro om " w i th a re a re s id e n ts th r o u g h p r e s e n ta t io n s a n d w o rk s h o p s .

The buildings once housed a carriage and a horse, its feed and tack. According to Winegar, finding a carriage house in one’s backyard is as commonplace in Howell as picket fences and old trees. But finding a carriage house in good condition is more of a challenge. Years of neglect have caused some to become “droopy,” she said, noting that some owners are working to restore the structures, found in a variety of sizes. The term carriage house “implies class,” said Winegar, pointing to her research. Consequently, there is a carriage house revival of sorts with architectural renderings of 21st century carriage houses online, and available for sale, featuring upgrades like solar power panels. Winegar admits the newer models will likely be more functional, but they do not reflect the history of Howell’s early settlers. “The original buildings are gems that we need to appreciate,” she said. IN BRIEF Brighton Former students have art exhibit 'Two former Brighton High School students will have their artwork exhibited for the next two weeks a t Art on Main, 316 W. Main St., Brighton. Friends Craig Paul Nowak and Buddy Dougherty have titled their show “Heads or 'Tales: Influence: Friendship, Penny, Chance, Options, Heads and stories, fork in the road, decisions, etc.” Nowak, who now lives in Chicago, is a painter specializing in self-portraits. Dougherty, who works as a graphic designer for A-1 Engraving and Signs in Hamburg Township, is the inventor of a product called VWOMR which he calls “the miracle art material of the future.” His art involves the use of hyper-advanced divine geometry. The a rtists’ exhibition opens with a 6-9 p.m. reception today. Viewings continue 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays and noon-4 p.m. Sundays. An informal discussion with the artists is set for 12:30 p.m. Sunday. This fi^e service is available to Hartland 'Township residents; identification may be required. Details: 810-632-7498.

D-19 FROM A1 P r o je c t w i l l d e t o u r t r a f f i c t h r o u g h a u t u m n signaled light and curb cut to be shared V customers of his and the neighboring Howell Party Store. New concrete sidewalks, decorative street lighting, irrigation and concrete curbs and gutters also will be installed. Work will begin on the street’s east side with water, storm sewer and utility improvements. The anticipated daily 20,000 vehicles that travel the road will shift to the road’s west lane. When work begins on the road’s west side in mid- June, traffic will move to the road’s east lane. The process will continue through the fall as the road is paved and landscaping added. “It’s going to be dusty. It’s going to be ugly. It’s going to be inconvenient, but at the end of the day, we will have this great product,” said Charles. Alternate routes include Chilson, Mason and Burkhart roads for north-south travel. 'Ihaffic to the city’s industrial park off McPherson Park Drive is encouraged to enter the city fix)m M-59 (Highland Road.) This road has needed re pairs for a long time, said Charles. The project was initially planned for 2004, but delayed by the Livingston County Road Commission so that landscaping planned by the city, and the road improvements planned by the county could happen simultaneously in 2006. 'The Michigan Department of Transportation then stepped in and asked the city to postpone work so D-19 could be used as an alternate route while work continued in the area of M-59 and Burkhart Road. Phase II of the D-19 project, including two roundabouts, is set for 2010. “And the Loop Road Project (that will divert truck traffic around the city) is still out there,” said Charles. HOWELL FROM A1 P r o g r a m m e a n t t o h e lp e x - p r i s o n e r s of more than $100 million annually. All prisoners would serve their minimum sentence, but some could be released before they would have been under the old review system. “This massive release of state prisoners is clearly driven by finances,” Basar said. Russ Marian, public information officer for the Department of Corrections, disagrees, saying MPRI was created to support prisoners who have done their time. “We can’t hold everylxxfy forever.” According to Donna Lassa, MPRI community coordinator for Livingston and Oakland counties, MPRI parolees are hand-picked based on several factors, including that these individuals are more “susceptible to failing” outside the structure of prison. To ease the transition, parolees meet with advisers, counselors and religious leaders to determine how they will become good community neighbors. “The goal,” said Lassa, “is that these parolees will become successful, tax-paying citizens.” She also points out that MPRI is better than the old system which was dropping off parolees at a hotel off of 1-96. But she admits the new system is a work in progress. “There is going to be a change in the way we make placements,” she says. Houses that have multiple parolees will be broken up, and plans are under way to exclude the city of Howell finm ftiture placements while her agency works to get other areas involved. The new system also connects parolees with agencies that could help them, such as Michigan Works!, Brighton Hospital and the lcx;al transportation agency LETS months before their release. Additionally, MPRI participants are: required to meet with parole agents regularly, obligated to be employed or activety seeking a job, encouraged to attend monthly support sessions and asked to participate in a handful of social activities. “The idea is to occupy most of their time with MPRI-related activities,” said Will Robinson, one of three case agents in the Livingston County probation and parole office. Marian estimates less than 1 percent of the state’s released parolees will return to Livingston County, or between 90 and 120 people, and 95 percent of those who do return wiU go to a structured, supportive family home. Basar agrees that inmates are entitled to release. He also believes that placements made by Livingston County probation and parole officios inside the city do not have to be problematic, if there is adequate oversight. “Through the Department of Corrections, there are four houses in Howell, and these houses are not problems,” he says. Generally, five to seven individuals live in these homes, which are secured through third parties who sublease to parolees. Jim Proos, chaplain at the Livingston (Jounty jail, has helped with these third-party contracts in the past, taking on the role of lancUord for three houses in Howell, though he said heplans to stop that effort in May. ‘"These men want to succeed and get back on their feet,” he said when asked why he’d take on that responsibility. Due to external factors, and the strain of trying to house and oversee parolees in additional to his regular duties, he notified his tenants in mid-April that they’d have to find new housing by May 30. One of those tenants is David Schafer, 43. Though he had spent 21 out of his last 23 years in prison for crimes ranging from assault to car theft, he remains hopeful about his future. Released in April, he has a job and plans to start a new business. “Each time I got out, there was nothing there to help me. I would get sucked back into the life, but now I feel better about myself than I ever have before,” he said. With the help of his mentor, the parolee support group and the services set up through MPRI, he has a new outlook. “When you’ve got someone to believe in you, you can do anything.” Howell has several re s idential ren ta l opportunities - 242 houses as of April - and a number of group homes, or private facilities designed to help people r e cover in a t le a st one aspect of th e ir lives. There is one home for runaway te en ag ers, an o th e r for individuals suffering from head injuries and a third for men recovering frogi alcoholism. Basar said none of those homes has been a problem. The one exception was a halfway house that was closed in 2005. It remains vacant. While tracking of the number of police runs to “highdemand” residences has just started, best guesses by city staff prompted a meeting between Basar, City Manger Shea Charles and Dan Chepeska, a supervisor in the county's probation and parole office, which served almost 800 probationers and parolees in Livingston County as of January. According to Chepeska, more than 50 percent of the people his department serves live in the city Marian confirmed tha t 72 out of 172 parolee placements last year, were made in the city. “I think this could adversely affect our neighborhoods more than anything else today,” says Councilwoman Dawn Cooper,, using Basar’s 70 percent figure for the number of parolees who will commit another crime. Marian disputes Basar’s figure. His data pegs parolee recidivism at 48 percent within four years, based on the number of parolees who will again be sent to prison. He said the MPRI program has further reduced that rate.

Jonathan Krause and Cheryl Leach, who campaigned together, were the top two vote-getters, beating out Winnie Garrett. They each won four-year seats and will be replacing incumbents Cindy Cvengros and Greg Kushner, who both chose not to run. Krause attributed his and Leach’s victory to the district’s current financial challenges. “Being fiscally conservative made Cheryl and me strong choices,” said Krause. “We want to open up communication with the board, administrators and the teachers’ union, and we have to get back to a balanced budget.” Just last week, Brighton Superintendent Jim Craig said the district had “a budget in distress.” The decrease in enrollment and the increase in expenditures that have faced the Brighton school district tor the last several years, prompted Superintendent Jim Craig to tell the school, “We project that the fund balance will be essentially gone at the end of this school year.” He said the district faces a $3.1 million deficit by June 2009. Krause said it’s unfortunate that the 2008-09 school year budget must be finalized by June 30 since he and Leach don’t start their terms until July. In the Hartland Consolidated School District, voters approved an operating millage renewal proposal worth $5.3 million by a 3-1 margin. The approval will allow the district to continue to levy the statutory ra te of 18 mills on all nonhomestead property. In uncontested school board races there, Kevin Kaszyca and Thomas Dumond won four-year terms and Eileen Jankowslg^ won a one-year term. In the only other school board race in the county, incumbents William Call and Chris Wanczyk were re-elected in Fowlerville. They had no opposition. The Pinckney, Howell, South Lyon and Whitmore Lake school districts have moved their elections to November. Consultant expects good applicants for Howell post BY T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News Howell superintendent search consultant Terre Davis said negative publicity over some controversial issues will not affect the quantity or quality of applicants for the district’s top job. “There are superintendents who will look a t this position and will be excited about the fact tha t they can make a difference,” she said after a special meeting this week. The board approved a contract with Davis, of Terre Davis and Associates of Westcliffe, Colo., to conduct a search for Howell’s next superintendent for a flat fee of $17,500. Davis is a former Michigan superintendent. She told the board this week not to dwell on the contentious past but to look to Superintendent hiring timeline ■ M a y 1 2 -1 3 : M e e t w i th c o m m u n it y g ro u p s fo r in p u t . ■ J u n e 9 : D e a d lin e fo r a p p lic a t io n s . ■ J u n e 1 2 -1 8 : A p p lic a t io n s s c r e e n e d b y c o n s u lta n t a n d b o a rd m em b e r s . ■ J u n e 2 0 - 2 1 : In te r v ie w s w i th c a n d id a te s (o p e n sessio n). ■ J u n e 2 6 : A p p o in t n e w s u p e r in te n d e n t . ■ J u ly 1 5: - N e w s u p e r in t e n d e n t o n th e jo b . the future. “The past ended at midnight last night,” she said. The board chose her company over three other search firms at a meeting April 28 and formally approved the contract Monday. The district is looking to replace outgoing Howell Superintendent Chuck Breiner, who reached a severance agreement with the board in March. He remains on administrative leave until his contract expires June 30. The board also voted 6-1 to advertise $140,000 as the superintendent’s base salary. “We will get hammered (by the public) on this figure,” said Board President Phil Westmoreland, who initially favored a lower figure. Vice President Jeannine P ra tt said it wasn’t so much the base salary as the extras that the board was criticized for in regard to Breiner. His base was $140,000 per year, although his total package, including extras such as car allowance, sick days and life insurance, put his annual salary at about $200,000. Board member Wendy Day voted against the motion, saying the base should be around $137,500. Davis warned that if the board put the salary lower than what it was two years ago, it would fail to a ttract good candidates. The board also approved the calendar for the selection process and the position was posted Tuesday. It will be advertised in all relevant education publications and Web sites, Davis said. The board also developed an informal list of qualities and traits it would like to have in its next superintendent. Among the qualities are: strong financial skills, good public relations ability, experience in labor relations and being a good listener.

But the d istric t’s Board of Education still faces a long list of cutbacks in its a ttempt to e ra s e a projected $1.9 million 2008-09 budget deficit by July 1. The cuts and potential savings, which now add up to about $1.6 million, will be discussed again when the board me e ts a t 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 22, in the Pathfinder School media center, 2100 E. M-36, Hamburg Township. A formal ag re em en t between the d istric t and its custodians’ union also could be ready for board approval. That would keep 27 buildings and grounds jobs with the district, while still saving about $430,000, the figu re officials thought could be realized by privatization. “We’ve never wanted to privatize th e se jobs if we didn’t have to,” said Superintendent Dan Danosky. About $160,000 could be saved by changing the way buildings and grounds employees do th e ir work, said Brian Higgins, Pinckney’s a ssistan t superintendent for personnel. Adjustments in sa la rie s and benefits would make up the o th e r $270,000 in savings, he said. “I’m grateful th a t we consid e r ourselves a school family and th a t we’re all try ing to help each o th e r and th a t we all do ca re about each other,” said Peg Eibler, board tre a sure r. Hamburg Elementary School will close next y e a r to save about $350,000. Eliminating e lementary school social workers and middle school a s s is ta n t principals has been taken off the list of future cuts, though, because they affect stu d en ts too much, officials said. Other cuts being considered and th e ir potential savings include: ■ Closing Village Education Center - $176,615. P re school, latchkey and community education programs would be moved to othe r schools. Pinckney Senior Center will move to former Putnam Township Hall. ■ Laying off Athletic Director Jo h n Rehbine - $109,000. Community Education Director Tedd Bradley would assume job re sp o n sibilities. Rehbine was given a layoff notice April 30. ■ Reduction of four teaching jobs due to enrollment decline - $262,352. Jobs likely would be eliminated through attrition, not layoffs, officials said. ■ Consolidate bus stops and eliminate door-to-door service - $83,500. ■ Cutting one elementary bus run, due to closing of Hamburg Elementary, and eliminating four kindergarten bus runs, due to all-day kinde rga rten being offered a t all e lementa ry schools -$41,500. ■ Closing one pool - $90,000. ■ Reducing c entral office administration - $80,000. ■ Reducing hours for building se c re ta rie s, library clerks and aides - $56,000. ■ Privatizing o th e r employee groups, such a s nonstaff coaches - $20,000.

ELIYAHU GURFINKEL, THE LIVINGSTON COM M U NITY NEWS Neighbors o f slain couple show their apprehension M a n y b e g a n t a k i n g p r e c a u t i o n s a f t e r b o d i e s w e r e f o u n d BY JO COLLINS MATHIS A N D SUSAN OPPAT The Livingston Community News Even as investigators on Wednesday said they had made an arrest in the slayings of Richard and Brenda Kowalski, worried neighbors of the Oceola Township couple remain on the alert and are eager for additional details. “We’re out in the middle of nowhere because it’s usually very quiet and safe,” said Tara Brewbaker, 18, a senior at Howell High School who lives in the Kowalskis’ neighborhood northeast of Howell. “We’re all being super cautious. It’s a shock, and nobody has much information. (The killer) could be our neighbor for all we know.” Michigan State Police said Wednesday morning they had arrested a suspect in the May 1 slayings, but investigators released no more details of the arre st or who was arrested. The Livingston County Major Crimes Task Force, a multiagency unit, is handling the investigation. Police still are asking anyone with information about the slayings to contact them at 517-546- TIPS (8477). The bodies of the couple, ages 65 and 58, were discovered in their kitchen on the afternoon of May 1 when one of Brenda Kowalski’s two adult sons became concerned and went to check on them. Police are awaiting autopsy results before saying how they were killed. Police from the start said there was no threat to neighbors. Nor was there a sign of forced entry. Neighbors have planted colorful annuals and placed a memorial wreath beside the mailbox and the long driveway leading to the couple’s sprawling ranch house on Lyngre Drive. The house stands on a wooded lot with a pond a t the circular end of a rocky road. The couple’s small SUV is parked outside the four-car garage, where Richard Kowalski kept his classic cars. “I’ve been here since the early ’70s and things like that don’t happen much around here,” said Bonnie Pace, of Howell, who thinks the homicides must have been a personal vendetta. Lyle Allbright has lived in nearby Cohoctah Township his entire 90 years except for time spent in military service. He said the area is mostly very safe, but people are worried. “I’m interested in finding out the result of the investigation to settle this,” he said. Brewbaker said neighbors are allowing their dogs to run free to patrol their properties. Doors are kept locked at all times, and children are being watched carefully, she said. “We didn’t think crime would reach us out here,” she said. YOUNG CITIZEN FROM A1 H e p la n s t o s t u d y S p a n is h , c h e m i s t r y a t H o p e C o l le g e Tori organized an American Red Cross blood drive at the high school last December that brought in 75 pints of blood. He’s given blood four times himself. In January and February, he organized a charity drive Uiat raised more than $800 to purchase a wheelchair lift for the van of a Pinckney woman he’s never met. “I’m not just trying to set an example or do these things because it looks good,” Tori said. “I really enjoy it. I have a good time doing it.” Tori has walked with Pinckney High’s National Honor Society in Brighton’s American Cancer Society Relay for Life, and he’s helped with his school’s Empty Bowls dinner, which raises money for Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston. Tori also has organized a fundraiser for LACASA so abused women and their children could have a merrier Christmas, he helped raise money to send severely burned children to the Great Lakes Bum Camp and he organized a school penny drive that netted $3,000 for Michigan’s Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “It would be easy to just give back to the school, but we’re all here for a greater purpose,” Tori said. “Youth matters, and we have ideas and opinions. Adults don’t have to run everything.” Tori is the middle child of Hamburg Township’s Gildo and Jane Tori. Sister, Valerie, is 20 and brother, David, 16, is a Pinckney High junior. “Marco has been a go-getter since he first started walking,” Gildo Tori said. “He’s a Tm not just trying to set an example or do these things because it looks good. I really enjoy it. I have a good time doing it' Marco Tori, 2008 Young Citizen of the Year determined young man and a real perfectionist who always wants to do things best, not just right.” Tori is a Michigan Association of Honor Societies representative, serving NHS groups from 10 Michigan counties, and he’s the student body representative on the Pinckney Community Schools Board of Education. “Marco is an amazing young man,” said Board D"easurer Peg Eibler. “In the future, we’re all going to be saying, ‘We knew Marco when...’” Tori will study Spanish and chemistry at Hope College in the fall. He wants to enroll in a pre-medicine program and become a cardiologist. “I also want to be a champion of something,” he said. “I’m not sure of what yet, but I just want to go out and make a difference and change people’s lives.” Leanne Smith can be reached at !smith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011.

CANDLEWOOD SUITES FROM A1 O f f i c ia l s : A r e a c a n s u p p o r t a n o t h e r h o t e l Dillingham, who said the new hotels are needed. Mayor Kate Lawrence predicted the growing Brighton area can support another hotel. “There obviously is enough room,” Lawrence said. “When (developers) invest that much, they do their due diligence to see the area can support it.” “We think the market can support it,” agreed Shammami, pointing to the are a ’s reputation as a focal point for business gatherings because it is centrally located. The Candlewood Suites is part of the Intercontinental Hotel Group, which also includes the Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express chains. When the site plan was originally approved by the city in 2003, the hotel was to be a Hampton Inn, but Shammami’s and Hannawa’s partners backed out, and the project was reincarnated as a Candlewood Suites. Shammami said city staffers went out of their way to assist the developers. Lawrence said staff is directed to assist prospective new businesses in jumping the legal and procedural hurdles. “City Council set the policy to be business-friendly, and our staff does everything it can to help them and make them feel welcome,” she said. The Candlewood Suites is not the only new hotel coming to the county. A 77-room Holiday Inn Express should be completed by mid-August near the "Tanger Outlet Center outside Howell. Dillingham said more than mere proximity to the mall was considered. “The Holiday Inn (Express) strongly considered the demographics in Fowlerville in ^ moving the project forward,” he said, pointing to the Aisin Proving Ground and other new industry that has moved into the area.

In March, 120 foreclosures were logged. In April, the number climbed to 131, up 87 percent from April 2007, according to Register of Deeds Sally Reynolds “The piles on my desk ju st keep getting deeper,” she said. “It’s ju st going up steadily each month. I’m hearing if they’re being sold, it’s at short sale.” A short sale is when a property is sold for an amount th a t’s less than what’s owed to the lender. By comparison, in neighboring Washtenaw County, ^ 145 homes hit the sheriff’s ^ auction stage of foreclosure - double the amount foreclosed upon a year ago, and up 18 percent from March. Homes are typically put up for auction after a homeowner has missed three or more month- ^ ly mortgage payments. While the trend is bad for property owners in arrears, a group of investors in Livingston County says the market also offers opportunity. The Real Estate Investors Association of Livingston County, a group with 87 members, continues to invest its future in real estate. REIA President Cathy Blight, who’s also a Realtor, said both investors and first-time home buyers can take advantage of the m arket and snap up properties a t a reduced rate. “I’ve been here 34 years and this is the first time I’ve ever seen deals in Livingston County,” she said. “Now, they’re on every street corner.” But there is a catch, said Blight, who sells for The Michigan Group. The soft economy has lenders being more conservative with loan practices, she said. “You’d better have really good credit and some cash to be an investor today.” Fran Thornell of The Michigan Group sits on the REIA board. She warns that people must be extra careful about how they invest because properties are held longer. She said being part of an investors’ group like REIA offers support for first-time investors or for the many homeowners who are being forced into becoming landlords because they can’t sell their homes. Members come from all walks of life and some specialize in specific types of property. Blight added. You are not required to own property to be part of the group. Blight speculated it will take about three years for the market to rebound and then, she said, those who have made investments today will be happy they did. The timing “all depends on when we get rid of all of the foreclosures,” she added. According to RealtyTrac Q 4l J£-..JL...4L . I . j; it a, !i! 1 .

SONIA GOTTFRIED, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Inc., a company that tracks foreclosures, 29,544 homes in Michigan entered some stage of foreclosure in the first quarter of this year, up 24 percent from 2007. Rising numbers have been driven by a decline in the housing market and the popularity of adjustable- rate mortgages. At the end of 2007, the number of foreclosures topped 1,000 in Livingston County. Although foreclosure numbers remain high. Blight noted that she has recently started to see more regular home listings than foreclosures coming onto the market. That’s a healthy sign that many homeowners are able to choose to list their homes instead of being forced into a sale, she said.

R e a lto rs ' g a z e b o d r iv e c o lle c ts f o r fo o d b a n k from News staff reports The sixth annual Fill the Gazebo event for the Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston County has been called a success. Preliminary totals for the food drive compiled by the sponsoring Livingston County Association of Realtors are $12,000 in cash and checks, representing 36,000 meals, and 7,364 pounds of nonperishable food and personal care items, which corresponds to another 5,753 meals. “Thanks to the Realtors and their partners, we have met the goal to provide one semitruck load of food for May,” said Erica Karfonta, general manager of Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston. The totals were expected to grow over the next couple of weeks as late donors contribute food items and cash, Karfonta said. The target for this year was 40,000 meals, which would fill one semi, Karfonta said. The need has been much gre a te r during the current economic downturn, Karfonta said.

B r i g h t o n O K s t i g h t e r b u d g e t C i t y p r o j e c t i n g 3 r d s t r a i g h t y e a r o f d r o p i n r e v e n u e B Y T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News As the most challenging budget year the city of Brighton has faced in the past two decades looms, the City Council last week adopted an overall budget of $20.9 million and a general fund budget of $8.8 million for the fiscal year tha t sta rts July 1. It marks the third straight year the city is projecting a drop in revenues. City Finance Director Dave Gajda said the coming year “will be the most difficult, challenging year” since he was hired 23 years ago. “In past recessions, when growth slowed down, the city had abundant land to develop,” Gajda said. “Today, there is very little land to develop (as the 2.9-square-mile city approaches build-out).” He said one way the city is hoping to gain new revenues in the future is from redeveloping unused or vacant properties in the city. City Manager Dana Foster said revenues are declining due to a combination of factors: reduced property tax assessments; successful appeals before the Michigan Tax IHbunal; the departure of Atreum- Brighton (Brighton Interior Systems), at one time a major local industry with 500 employees; fewer connection and other city fees in the economic slowdown; and state cuts in revenue sharing. The good news is that all essential city services will be maintained, and the city will not be forced to lay off on any employees. As part of the effort to cut expenses, city employees are being asked to consider wage freezes. Other than supervisory personnel, workers are unionized, and the unions must vote to approve any wage concessions. There are four unions representing about 60 city employees. City Manager Dana Foster says that to ensure a healthy fund balance, the city is in the process of enacting nearly $500,000 in spending cuts, and is looking a t ways to gain an additional $715,000 in revenue. “If we accomplish both, it would total $1.2 million of positive impact,” he said. Beyond merely balancing the budget, the synergy resulting would ensure that the city’s fund balance would continue to be healthy, Foster said. While wage fi’eezes are one way to cut spending, another is getting concessions frpm vendors that provide contracted services to the city. Foster has sent out letters to 79 vendors, asking for concessions and, so far, has received a positive response from sue, including two contract attorneys. Foster also is looking into greater efficiencies that can be made in city departments. “Internally, we’re pursuing at all levels ways we can cut costs,” he said. Additional revenue could come from such areas as the sale of excess city properties, contributions fi*om other local governments toward the high school police liaison officer’s salary, civic event sponsorships, and increased cemetery and community center rental fees. “This year is difficult, and next year will be more difficult,” Gajda said. “Everything goes in cycles, but (the end) won’t happen quickly.” Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009.

The Brighton High School PTO sponsored a mock crash site May 1 in which four seniors a t the high school portrayed themselves in a drunken driving auto crash. The simulation took place on the high school football field where the four stu- Firefighters w o rk to e xtric a te students Z a k Pohlen and A n d rew Swain from th e car used in th is year's mock crash a t B righto n High Sch o o l. dents - Alyssa Whins, Alyssa Johnson, Zak Pohlen and Andrew Swain - were supposed to have crashed the car driven by Pohlen. In the simulation, he had been drinking after a night at the prom. The four students had to be removed from the wreckage of the vehicle. Members of the Brighton Area. Fire Department, Brighton Police Department, Michigan State Police, Livingston County EMS, and the University of Michigan Survival Flight were on the scene. The rescue involved using the Jaws of Life and hydraulic cutters. One of the victims. Whins, pretended to die at the scene and a hearse came to take away her body. During a voice-over she recorded that was played over the publicaddress system. Whins talked about not wanting to die and how hard it was on her family. A narrator went into detail about the difficult surgeries and recoveries the surviving victims faced. Eighth-graders from both Maltby and Scranton middle schools, along with high school students, watched the scene from the bleachers. Senior Rachel Alloy was very affected. “It was great and inspiring,” said Mloy. “With all the things you want to do in life, drinking and driving ju st isn’t worth it.” “It opened my eyes to the consequences of losing people you know,” said sophomore Allyson Lloyd. “It was very emotional.” Brighton High School PTO President Randy Swain said she was pleased with the re sponse from the community to make the demonstration take place. “Every local rescue agency I phoned agreed to participate, and it was a good effort for our students,” said Swain, whose son was one of the actors. “We wanted to make it as realistic as possible so that it would really impact the kids.” Swain said they chose to do the mock accident during the spring season because this is prom and graduation time, when more kids have more autonomy and are may try activities that aren’t good choices like drinking and driving. “One action that they do today could affect their whole lives and other people’s lives, too,” said Swain. Bonnie Irwin, campus security coordinator at Brighton High School, said, “We do the mock accident once every four years so that students at every level of high school experience it at least once. It’s shocking when you see the crashed vehicle and the four students. It’s a good representation and it really hits home for the students.” Irwin says the group SADD, Students Against Destructive Decisions, have been getting the message out at the high school about the dangers of drinking and driving. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 69 percent of young drivers (16 to 20) involved in fatal crashes had been drinking, and 54 percent of those deaths occur on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. “I lost a fiiend to drunk driv- F o u r s tu d e n ts , A ly s s a W h in s , A ly s s a J o h n s o n , Z a k P o h le n a n d A n d r e w S w a in , p a r t ic ip a t e in a m o c k c a r c ra s h to d e m o n s t r a t e th e d a n g e r s o f d r in k in g a n d d r iv in g .

Senior Dean Caverly said, “I was in shock at everything that happened and how long it takes the rescue workers. I can’t believe someone would be dumb enough to drink and drive.” Lisa Carolin can be reached at lcarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010.

The memorial is part of the national “Lest They Be Forgotten” initiative honoring fallen U.S. soldiers from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. The event will memorialize U.S. Army Sgt. Andrew E Daul and U.S. Army Sgt. Thomas W Christensen, area residents who were killed in action. The memorial itself is topped by a field cross, consisting of a brass soldier’s helmet balanced on an M-16 rifle and flanked by militaiy boots. The base is engraved with the names of two Brighton-area soldiers who have been the casualties of the two military campaigns. Daul, 21, a Brighton High School graduate, was killed Dec. 19, 2006, after an improvised explosive device went OS’ near his Abrams tank in Iraq. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington. Christensen, 42, died on Christmas Day 2003 in a mortar attack on his living quarters in Iraq. His residence at the time of his death was Atlantic Mine in the Upper Peninsula, where he had moved in 2002 after spending part of his formative years in Brighton. In addition to Iraq war service medals, Christensen was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star for meritorious service. He is interred at Highland Cemetery in Oakland County’s Highland 'Township. The fund-raising endeavor that resulted in collecting $10,000 to erect the monument was spearheaded by Rolling Thunder Chapter 5, which joined Michigan Military Moms-Livingston and the Fhllen Heroes Memorial Foundation in the group effort. The goal is to have such a monument dedicated in each hometown of a fallen soldier in Livingston County. The first such site was dedicated in 2006 in Fowlerville, honoring three soldiers from that community. “Our next goal is to put a monument in Howell (which has had three casualties to this date), ” said Rolling Thunder Chapter President Randy Galbraith of Hartland. FHMF Vice President Ginny Cola became involved because of the death of a coworker’s son. Marine Cpl. Andrew Kilpela, 22, in Iraq in 2005. “It devastated the whole ward,” said the employee at Saint Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital. For (iola, the monuments are a labor of love. “Knowing the community comes together behind the project, and the gratitude of the f a i^ e s , makes it all worth it,” she said. . A related event Saturday is the fifth annual Ride to Remember, sponsored by Rolling Thunder. According to Galbraith, the group will sta rt the day’s activities with a police-escorted motorcade at 11 a.m. from Memories Lounge on Old US-23 in Brighton Township to the historic courthouse in downtown Howell. There, noon ceremonies will honor the nine Livingston County families who have lost a son in the Iraq or Afghanistan conflicts. Congressman Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, and state Sen. Valde Garcia, R-Marion Township, will be among the speakers. Afterward, the motorcade will proceed back to Brighton for the 3 p.m. dedication ceremonies, where Rogers also is the speaker.

All seven of the students nominated for the honor are outstanding young people. They excel in the classroom and on the athletic field. They are deeply involved in their schools. All have found ways to reach out to the broader communities in which they live. You can read about this year’s winner, Marco Tori of Pinckney H i^ , on the front page of this week’s edition. Stories about the three finalists are take up the rest of this page. This is the second year The Livingston Community News has sponsored the award. The honor is patterned after our Citizen of the Year Award to recognize students who have become good citizens as weU ' as good students. The winner is recognized with a $1,000 scholarship from The News. The three finalists get $250 scholarships. As you read the stories, you will find that each one has found a way to become involved in the community beyond the relative safety of the high school environment. Marco Tori has worked tirelessly to involve his fellow Pinckney High students in the broader Pinckney community through organizing blood drives, raising fiinds for various charities, reading to younger students and representing the student viewpoint on the school board. Nick Wozniak coaches young athletes, volunteers to help set up an annual bazaar for the Hartland Women’s Club and helps raise funds for charities. ^ t i e Anderson feeds owls at the Howell Conference and Nature Center, tutors middle school students and volunteers at blood drives. Matt Hartwell raises funds for Mott Children’s Hospital, collects running shoes to be donated and tutors students in chemistry. All of that work is on top of the many ways they are involved in their own school communities, including being excellent students. The next time someone complains about how kids today don’t do anything or care about anyone but themselves, rub that person’s nose in one of these stories. M o re recognition On the Sports pages this week. Reporter Jason Deegan dishes out his own brand of recognition for a group of other high school students: Versatile track athletes. As Jason explains, versatility is a critical commodity at a high school track meet. As coaches analyze the competition, those who can run fast but also clear hurdles may be called upon to compete in multiple events. These athletes “might not be the stars, but they’re the glue tha t helps to hold their teams together,” Jason explains. Check it out on Page Bl.

T h e re ’s one difference, though, th a t sep a ra te s h e r from the crowd, although she is re luc tant to talk about it: Anderson is blind in one eye. “She’s an amazing young woman,” says Colleen Hanson, head of the high school counseling d ep a rtment. “She has a disability, but you wouldn’t know it,” Hanson says. “She doepn’t want any special tre a tm en t.” She says h e r family inspires h e r the most. “They’re always th e re for me.” The daughter of Jim and Nancy Anderson of Marion Township is one of the most active and involved of th e 1,800 stu d en ts a t Parker.

If she keeps h e r grade s up, she is in line to be valedictorian for commencement exercises Ju n e 8. The re a son h e r GPA is higher than stra ig h t As is because of the several advancedplacement classes she has taken. “Katie is feisty, a cancer survivor,” says Nancy Anderson. Her daughter had retinal blastoma when she was only 18 months old and lost an eye. “It gives h e r a different perspective on life,” she says. “She’s determined,” h e r mother says. “If she says she is going to do something, she does it.” P a rk e r High School Assistant Principal Mark SEE A N D E R SO N , A9 Nicholas Wozniak Hartland athlete shows natural leadership B Y L IS A C A R O L IN The Livingston Community News Hartland High School senior Nicholas Wozniak has been a volunteer for a variety of high school activities.

Driven to run, a sport he took up to relieve the stre ss of his loss. Driven to raise money for the Eric Hartwell Foundation. Driven toward a care e r in medicine, so he can help others going through what his brother did. Driven to give back. Those who know Hartwell, one of three finalists for the Livingston Community News’ Young Citizen of the Year award, praise the 18-year-old for being mature beyond his years. He’s been an active volunteer as president of National Honor Society and with the foundation, a nonprofit charity that seeks to provide direct support to children who are being treated with blood cancers a t the University of Michigan Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor. He organized the first Spring Snowman 5-Kilomete r Run-Walk last spring, re cruiting volunteers and sponsors and charting the course through the Pine Creek subdivision in Brighton. The event raised roughly $9,000 each of the last two years. “Ju s t the way he acts is way beyond his years,” says Jonathan Miller, who manages the Runnin’ Gear store where Hartwell works. “With the way he’s taken to running, I expect that kind of stick-to-it determination to help him in college.” Hartwell says he enjoyed delivering video game systems, bought by foundation money, to children a t the hospital last Christmas. He says seeing other children struggling with cancer has him thinking about attending medical school after Hope College. Giving back “is in my personality,” he says. “Everybody enjoys it, and (it’s cool) seeing people’s reactions tha t there are good people out there. Ju s t helping them, they ap- 'It (giving back) is in my personality. Everybody enjoys it, and (it's cool) seeing people's reactions that there are good people out there. Just helping them, they appreciate it so much.lt is just fun.' Matt Hartwell preciate it so much. It is ju st fun.” Hartwell’s father, Mike, says volunteerism “is so a part of who he is.” “There a re some things he does tha t we don’t even know he’s doing until after the fact,” Mike Hartwell says. Through the National Honor Society, Hartwell coordinated the Shoe, Towel and Backpack Drive for charity, built decks a t the Howell Conference and Natu re Center and a ssisted a t various school events. Brighton High School social studies te a c h e r Michelle Holowicki, who taught him in government class and works with him a s an NHS adviser, says he is “always a t school,” e ith e r volunte e ring or practicing with the Bulldog tra ck and cross country teams. “He’s like one of those kids you never have to ask them to do something,” she says. “He’s always being proactive and thinking ahead.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. WOZNIAK FROM A7 H a r t l a n d s e n io r e y e s t e a c h i n g , c o a c h in g He also runs track in the ^ spring and is a member of the P student council. “Nick has been an offic e r with the student council and is a n a tu ra l leader with a commanding voice and a g re a t smile,” says Barbara Gazda, Hartland High School student council adviser. “People know h e ’s intelligent and an athlete. Nick is always willing to volu n te e r and to organize an event.” “My coaches were lenient allowing me to go to other activities, and it’s always academics first,” says Wozniak, whose student council activities have included organizing blood drives and ^ volunteering for the Relay ^ for Life. “Working the blood drives is a lot of fun, and it makes you know you’re helping to save people’s lives,” says Wozniak. “It’s the same with participating in the Relay for Life and ra ising money to help the American Canc e r Society. I’ve volunteered to do something once and enjoyed it, so I’ve gone back and done it again.” Wozniak also has been a volunteer for the H a rtland Women’s Club Annual Warm ‘n Cozy bazaar.

Our 16th auction on April 28 was a tremendous success, due largely to the wonderful community support that we received from both Livingston and Washtenaw counties, where we are based. In these difficult economic times, we are gratified to continue receiving the outpouring of support and recognition for our university and students. We are thrilled to announce that we surpassed our goal of $150,000, including more than $17,000 for our endowed scholarships. The proceeds will help us to continue providing the best in business education for our students.

Tom Sullivan, Cleary University president Factory farming is unsustainable Recently, the prestigious Pew Charitable Trusts and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of ^ b lic Health concluded that factory farming takes a big toll on human health and the environment, undermines rural economic stability and fails to provide humane treatment of livestock. Capping a two-year study, with agriculture industry participation, the report calls for a national phase-out of all intensive confinement of farmed animals. The report is long overdue. For the past 60 years, animal agriculture has been devastating our country’s vital natural resources, including soil, waters and wildlife habitats. It has been generating more greenhouse gases than transportation. It has been elevating the risk of chronic diseases that account for 130 million deaths annually. It has been abusing billions of innocent, sentient animals. The only long-term solution to this tragedy is to gradually reduce the consumption of animal products to zero.

It’s made up primarily of a group of Brighton school district bus drivers, many of whose lives have been touched by cancer. “We have been hit hard as bus drivers by cancer,” says team captain Mary DeFaut. “I have many friends and coworkers who are cancer survivors. We had a good friend Brighton Relay for Life ■ What: A 24-hour, fundraising relay for the American Cancer Society. ■ When: May 16-17, 7 p.m.-7 p.m. ■ Where: Brighton High School track, 7878 Brighton Road, Brighton. ■ Details: On the Web at http://events.cancer.org/ rfibrightonmi. and co-worker who recently retired, Barbara Woods, who died of cancer this past summer. I think we are all relaying for her along with our other family members and friends.” The team also includes teachers, maintenance workers, parents, students and retired bus drivers. It has become a team tradition to have a pancake breakfast the Saturday morning of the event, which is May 17 this year. “I lost my grandfather and father-in-law to cancer, my favorite uncle to cancer and a close friend just recently,” says DeFaut. “I am hoping we can beat this before it starts to hit my children and my grandchildren. My whole goal is to do whatever I can to help beat this.” The Relay for Life is a 24- hour event in which teams try to have at least one member walking around the track at all times during the 24 hours. There is an opening ceremony and a lap for cancer survivors, and a luminaria lighting after dark as part of a ceremony of hope. Money raised benefits the American Cancer Society. Jennifer Acker, a spokeswoman for the society, says the Brighton Relay already has raised more than $70,000 this year and will have JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS "P reciou s Cargo" te am c a p ta in M a ry D e fa u t, h o ld in g th e sign, is surrounded by some o f her Relay fo r Life team from th e Brig h to n Area Schools T ran sp o rta tio n D e p a r tm e n t.

According to the American Cancer Society, there were 19,180 cancer deaths in Michigan in 2007, with the top three fatal cancers being lung, colon and breast cancer. DeFaut says, “I love the idea of honoring all those who have and are fighting the fight against cancer.” Lisa Cardin can be reached at lcarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010.

I'd race all the boys and win. I'm always competitive.' Hartland junior Haley Bourdeau on why she got hooked on track. She has done all four sprint events (including relays), the long jump, high jump and pole vaulting in the past two years. Versatility takes the lead in track Reichenbach called best utility man for Pinckney STORIES BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Pinckney boys track coach Tom Carney considers Kurt Reichenbach his Brandon Inge. Just like Inge bounces from position to position in the lineup for the Detroit Tigers, Reichenbach can fill in just about anywhere for Carney. But Carney wants to be clear about one thing: Just because Reichenbach can be a “utility” man, doesn’t mean he’s a jack of all trades and master of none. Reichenbach finished third in the heptathlon at the Nike Indoor Nationals in Maryland in March to become an All-American after performing the long jump, shot putt, hurdles, high jump and 1,000-meter run. “He can dunk, jump, throw. He can do everything,” Carney said. Reichenbach, who also swam at the state meet in S E E REICHENBACH, 82 Pinckney's Kurt Reichenbach, seen here hurdling at practice, is so good at multiple events that schools like the University of Michigan and Central Michigan University are recruiting him to be a decathlete.

A b o u t this package We asked area track coaches from South Lyon, Hartland, Pinckney, Howell, Brighton, Fowlerville and Whitmore Lake to single out who are their most versatile athletes. Since track is a sport of many disciplines and events, these coaches must figure out which athletes should do which events to best help the team. It's a complex puzzle that isn't always as simple as putting the fast athletes in sprints and the bigger, stronger ones in throwing events. High school rules only allow athletes to compete in four events at meets, meaning every decision is critical to ’ maximize the ability to score points. Explosive athleticism can be used in the high and long jump but also the pole vault and hurdles. The sprint and distance relays are worth more points, so that must be considered as well. These versatile athletes can fill in if there's an injury or perform in an event that lacks depth or be juggled to counteract the strength of an opponent. They might not always be the stars, , but they're the glue that helps to hold their teams together. -Jason Deegan Howell duo hurdles to win - JASON DEEGAN.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Miles and Marisa Gonzalo: A talented brother-sister duo. Howell High School senior Miles Gonzalo doesn’t like to lose on the track. But not for the reasons you might think. His sister, Marisa, is having a breakthrough season as a freshman. The two started the Kensington Valley Conference schedule ^ sweeping all four hurdles events against Hartland and Novi. “It’s a lot of fun, especially when we both win,” he said. “We are the hurdling brother and sister. (But) it’s kind of embarrassing when she wins and I don’t. She’s a fi-eshmanand I am a senior.” Miles Gonzalo has been slowed by a wrist he broke snowboarding, but even with a cast, he’s still a force. He also throws the disc, high jumps, runs on sprint relays and would be pole vaulting if not for the injury. He and coach Paul Webster determine before each meet where he might best help the team. “We know where everyone in our conference is at (competition- wise). If I can beat someone, he (Webster) moves me there,” Gonzalo said. “Usually it (comes down to) whatever I feel like doing.” Marisa Gonzalo already is close to the school record in the 100 hurdles and has found a home in the long jump and on sprint relays. “It’s been fun being in different events. I like it,” she said. “It is kind of crazy. It’s a really good experience.” Trio most valuable on the track Sometimes, being versatile doesn’t matter. When an athlete is good at something, no coach would dare to pull him or her out of an event to try other things. That’s the case with Dustin Heiler of Fowlerville, Adam Gentile of South Lyon and Brock Armstrong of Brighton. Their three coaches swear this trio would be good at almost any event they try, but they’re just too valuable when they run. Heiler, a senior, has won the won the 400; 800; 1,600; 3,200 and long jump at various meets this season. “I feel good about being able to go anywhere,” Heiler said. “I might not be the best, but I can do other things.” Dustin Heiler of Fowlerville stretches before his workout. JASON DEEGAN.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS All-around performers ID'd JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELU.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton senior Dayna Bergman prepares to throw the shot at practice. She is a versatile Bulldog, throwing the shot and discus and running sprints. Competition brings out top girls in track Every preseason, the Brighton and South Lyon girls track programs hold a competition that identifies versatile athletes. South Lyon’s Jenny Maslany dominated this spring’s competition, finishing first or second in eight different events: The 40-meter fly (where athletes run 50-60 meters but are timed in the 40 meters where they are moving); the 50m hurdles; the 100-, 400- and 1,600-meter run; a shot toss and the S E E GIRLS, 82 H a r t l a n d p i t c h e r c r e d i t s d a d f o r h i s s u c c e s s 'I'm just pitching. No thinking/says Zach I Cooper, who has signed with CMU BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Dennis Cooper has never pitched an inning in his life. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t an expert at its nuances. Hartland High School senior ace Zach Cooper credits his dad for grooming him into an elite college prospect. Cooper, who was 4-0 with a 2.55 earned run-average as of May 7, has signed with Central Michigan University. “He taught me by himself. I really have to credit him,” Cooper said of his development. Dennis Cooper said he began studying the mechanics of pitching as his son excelled in his early teens. He estimates he’s read at least four books on the subject. He would videotape his son’s mechanics and dissect every move with slow-motion video. “I study it to try to maintain the health of Zach’s arm,” Dennis Cooper said. “The parent has some responsibility to do that. I continue to study because I ’m interested in it, all the body mechanics.” Cooper, one of 22 pitchers to be named to the Louisville Slugger pre-season All- American second team, had offers from Eastern Michigan University, Wayne State University, Creighton University, and interest from Michigan State before picking the Chippewas. Cooper, who also plays outfield and bats fifth with a .400 average, said picking a college early has helped him pitch better this season. He threw a one-hitter against Kensington Valley Conference contender Novi last week. “I’m just pitching. No thinking,” he said. “I ’ve been working on a split-finger fastball. I always had trouble controlling my curve. “Now I can throw it consistently for strikes.” Hartland coach Brian Morrison said Cooper has transformed fi’om a “thrower” to a pitcher. “It’s nice to have somebody that can help carry the team when you’re not hitting well or not playing well,” Morrison said. The Eagles (19-3 heading into a double-header with Lakeland on May 7) face rival Brighton in a critical doubleheader May 12 that will likely determine the KVC crown. “The sky is the limit for this team,” Cooper said.

G ames are Tuesdays REICHENBACH FROM B1 He stays focused on landing scholarship March, said he likes the variety of doing different events in track. “It takes a while to learn an event, but when you do, you get better,” he said. With his older brother, Erik, starring on the TV reality series “Survivor,” Reichenbach has received a lot of attention at school this spring, but he’s tried to stay focused on landing a track scholarship. He hasn’t lost in the 110- and 300- meter hurdles yet. He also high jumps and has run legs on the 800- and 1,600-meter relays. He used to pole vault. He’s leaning toward attending the University of Michigan as a decathlete, but Central Michigan University and several other schools are still in the mix. He said he’s aiming to be all-state in the 300 hurdles (his best this year is 40.6 seconds, fifth-best in the Ann Arbor area) and high jump (he jumped 6-foot, 4 inches in 2007). “He’s a team player. He’ll do whatever I say,” Carney said. “He knows he needs to do different things to make himself good.” Jason Deegan can be reached atjdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. GIRLS FROM B1 Brighton's Bergman ranks as a top thrower vertical and broad jump. Last week, she won all four of her events at Hartland, the 100m, discus, high jump and the 800m relay. She is close to school records in the high jump and on two relay teams. Brighton’s Dayna Bergman proved her worth at her annual team competition, finishing among the top five Bulldogs in the 40m dash and the standing long jump and winning the medicine ball throw by more than double the competition. Brighton co-coach Gary Meehan said Bergman would be even better if she hadn’t started track so late. Bergman played softball as a freshman and soccer as a sophomore before switching to track as a junior. This spring, she competes in an unusual combination, throwing the shot and discus and running sprints. She’s among the top five throwers in the Ann Arbor area in the discus (fourth at 102 feet, 3 inches) and shot (second at 35 feet, 4‘i inches). She credits her strength from being the only girl in an all-male weightlifting class. She said her competitive nature led her to try so many sports. “I ’m usually up to try anything,” she said.

FRIDAY, MAY 16, 2008 www.mlive.com/livingstoncommunitynews : : : : : ...................: Survivor a little less naive now 'M o r e p e o p l e s h o u l d b e l a u g h i n g / h e s a y s o f h i s g a f f e r - ' wm m m BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News The green running shoes are the same, but the Erik Reichenbach sitting in a lawn chair in the baclQ^ard of his family’s Hamburg Township home is nothing like the naive, “wide-eyed child” that’s been said to have made the biggest blunder ever in 16 seasons of the CBS reality show “Survivor.” He calmly sets up media interviews while hoping to make it to younger brother Kurt’s Pinckney High School track meet. He’s spent the day at Eastern Michigan University, where he’s trying to make up some of the classes he missed last fall to be on “Survivor; Micronesia - Fhns vs. Favorites.” “It’s Cinderella now, but it’ll turn back into a pumpkin,” the 22-year-old says. He can’t understand why so many people are eaten up by his decision to give away his immunity on the show, forfeiting his guaranteed spot as a final-four player. The other players then voted him out and he lost his chance at the $1 million prize. “More people should be laughing at this than they are,” he says. “They are really angry and depressed, and that’s just pointless.” Living down what aired on TV about a week ago has been harder than living through ttie event when it actually happened last fall, Reichenbach says. “So much good stuff was going on besides the money,” he says. “Some people don’t seem to care about that.” That’s not the case with friends and family, who have supported the way he played the game and represented his small town. “They say I did the right thing,” Reichenbach sa)^. “They say, ‘You’re still a good person. You’re young, you’re dumb and we know you.’” Reichenbach’s message before the show aired in Pebruaiy was for people S E E SURVIVOR,A 4 PHOTOS: LON HORWEDELTHE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Erik Reichenbach holds up a self p o rtra it he painted while on "Survivor" this past fall. Reichenbach, an Eastern Michigan University student and Pinckney Community High School graduate, was voted off the island 36 days into the show. Below, Reichenbach is seen at the barn behind his Hamburg Township home Tuesday; he also holds a reward challenge he was presented with while on "Survivor" last fall.

As a result of term limits, Livingston County will get two new legislators in Lansing next year, replacing Rep. Joe Hune, R-Hamburg Township, and Rep. Chris Ward, R-Genoa Township. Tuesday was the filing deadline for the Aug. 5 primary, and both the 66th and 47th districts will have Democratic and Republican primary races. In the 66th District, Republicans Bill Rogers, chairman of the Livingston County Board of Commissioners, and Jason Corosanite, a chiropractor from Howell, have filed for the seat being vacated by Ward.

Big redevelopment p roposed for B righton Planning Commission will hear details on retail-apartments project Monday BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News Brighton city officials are excited about a redevelopment proposal that would change the face of downtown with new retail combined with apartments designed for empty-nesters. The $15 million, three-stoiy development would have a retail arm facing Grand River Avenue, but also would front West and North streets in the area behind Champ’s Pub. Burton-Katzman Development Co. of Bingham Farms is proposing a mix of retail storefronts, a restaurant and 42 oneand two-bedroom apartments for an area that now includes a vacant storefront, a parking lot and three vacant homes. “It ’s fantastic,” says Downtown Development Authority Chairman Bob Herbst. “It would help keep the downtown viable.” The proposal will get its first public airing Monday before the Brighton Planning Commission. The Grand River Avenue storefront is the former Country Squire Fireplace & Lighting, which closed in 2006, and the vacant homes are on North Street near Champ’s F*ub. TWo properties are involved, and Burton-Katzman has options to buy them. Chuck DiMaggio, senior vice president at Burton-Katzman, says Brighton “would be the first development of its type” for his firm, adding the company is “actively looking for such developments, (but) they need to be in very viable, lively downtowns.” DiMaggio says research done by his company shows there is a market for it in the Brighton area. The company’s portfolio includes retail centers, apartment complexes, office parks and industrial parks. He says if all goes well, work could begin next spring. Mayor Kate Lawrence predicts that despite several empty downtown storefronts, if the development proceeds, Burton- Katzman will have no trouble leasing the retail portion. “Those stores will not be empty forever,” she says. “We have to continue looking ahead and thinking positive.” Lawrence says Brighton has had good and bad cycles, like any other town. The demographic targeted for the Uving space is ^ e d “active adults” in market research terms, DiMaggio says.

Kowalski, 61, charged in double homicide. BY SUSAN L. OPPAT The Livingston Community Nev/s Investigators wiU not say what the note said, but they will say that a Warren man who is accused of shooting his brother and sister-in-law to death in their Oceola Township home did write a note in his home that his son discovered. Police refuse to reveal a motive for the slayings. Authorities said Jerome W Kowalski, 61, was arrested May 6 at the Michigan State Police post in Brighton after an interview with investigators. Kowalski was arraigned in 53rd District Court on two counts of open murder and one count of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. He is alleged to have shot his brother, Richard Kowalski, 65, a retired accountant, and sister-in-law Brenda, 58, in their home on April 30 or May 1. Livingston County Prosecutor David E Morse said Jerome Kowalski is a General Motors retiree and a civilian security employee at Selfridge Air National Guard base in Macomb H o w e l l e l i m i n a t e s 1 6 t e a c h i n g p o s t s D i s t r i c t m a y n o t b e d o n e w i t h c u t s BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News The Howell school board may not be done cutting costs, even after trimming more than $2 million this week from next year’s budget. During a nearly four-hour meeting Monday that was devoted mostly to wrangling with the district’s spending plan for the coming year, school board members voted unanimously to eliminate 16 teaching positions, cut a handful of administrative and support positions* (including privatizing the associate superintendent for business position) and make other cuts totaling $2.1 million. “We need to cut as close to the bone as possible,” school board Vice President Jeannine Pratt said at the meeting, adding, “This is truly a very difficult decision for all of us to make.” “There aren’t any cuts left that don’t impact the students,” said President Phil Westmoreland. Even that - on top of budget cuts totaling more than $10 million in the past five years - may not be enough. IVustees tabled the curriculum budget because they thought what was proposed was still too high and there could be more cuts once state funding is known in the fall. The school board must adopt a budget by June 30, while the state will not have a budget in place until Oct. 1, when the new fiscal year starts. The cuts put the overall, revised budget at about $65 million. The audience - mostly made up of district employees - was elated when the board decided not to privatize cafeteria workers, bus drivers, elementaiy school counselors or maintenance workers. Howell has been hit hard by a combination of enrollment declines and low state aid, and is languishing in a group of school districts at the bottom in state funding, receiving $7,204 per student, while some others receive thousands more. The Howell district lost 111 students alone between the September 2007 enrollment count and the February count this year, and administration is projecting another drop of 125 (blended count) students in the 2008-09 school year. There were no teacher layoffs in the current school year, but because of current and projected enrollment declines, fewer teachers will be needed, officials said. Eliminating 16 teaching positions from the 475-member faculty will save about $800,000. Those getting pink slips will be teachers with the least seniority, based on language in the Howell Education Association’s contract. Despite the loss of so many positions, the teacherto- pupU ratio will remain the same, due to enrollment declines. The board also challenged Jeanne Earina, associate superintendent of curriculum, assessment and staff development, on the proposed budget for course materials and textbook. The curriculum budget for the 2007-08 year is $584,000 and it’s proposed at $480,000 for the coming year. Earina said the figure was inflated this year because “this is the first year of the new (Michigan) high school graduation requirements - we had to revamp our whole curriculum.” However board members said that was a one-year anomaly and the budget should be a much lower figure for next year. They also told Fhrina that if it came to jobs vs. curriculum cuts, they would prefer to leave as manyjobs untouched as possible. “We’re still expected to meet to meet state assessment guidelines,” Earina responded. Action on curriculum cuts was tabled until Monday. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@livingstoncommunitynew5. com or at810-844-2009. PETA thanks Brighton firefighters Department lau(de(d for'heroic rescue' of blind dog from septic tank BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will present the Brighton Area Fire Department with an award for rescuing a blind dog from a septic tank. PETA will present the fire department its “Compassionate Fire Department Award” for the “heroic rescue,” said PETA vice president Daphna Nachminovitch. Fire Chief Martin DeLoach will receive a framed certificate and thank-you card signed by PETA officials. The incident happened May 5 at the home of a neighbor of dog owner Diane Rencsak, who operates Shadow Dance (horse) Ranch off Chilson Road in Genoa Township. It ’s unknown how 13-yearold Beatrice, called “Bea” for short, got into the tank, but Rencsak said it was Bea’s loud barking that led to her rescue. When firefighters arrived they used ropes and pulleys to get the dog out. “They came quick and they were wonderful,” Rencsak said. “They took good care of her. They wrapped her in a blanket and we took her to the vet.” A Howell veterinarian treated Bea with antibiotics for her paw pads, which were bleeding from trying to climb up the steep cement walls. Rencsak had rescued the animal from a previous abusive home several years ago. “She’s just the sweetest dog and we love her dearly,” she said. “People ask why we spend funds to perform animal rescues,” DeLoach said. “If we don’t, more than likely a civilian will try to do it, and we may have a human rescue on our hands.” The aromatic aspect of septic tanks gave the episode a lighter side. “A couple staffers had to change clothing,” DeLoach said. Cohoctah trustee killed in tractor accident Ronald Smith died on the family farm From News s ta ff reports ffimeral services were scheduled Thursday for a Cohoctah Township trustee who was killed in a freak accident last Saturday on the family farm. The victim was Ronald Earl Smith, 52. “It was a terrible, tragic accident,” Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte said of the crash. According to Bezotte, Mary Smith, 94, lost control of the 1994 Kubota A-T-V tractor she was operating in a field, and ran over her son. “He was opening the gate to go into another field, and she may have hit the gas (instead of the brake),” Bezotte said. “It careened off the gate and ran over him, dragging him for some distance.” Mary Smith attempted to pull the heavy tractor off her son, but was unable to, and called 911. Livingston County EMS paramedics were unable to revive the victim and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Services for Ronald Earl Smith were to be held at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Fowlerville. = I HE LIVINGSTON = C O M M U N IT Y N E W S Published each Friday.

County. Officials there declined comment. Morse confirmed Jerome Kowalski’s grown son found a note in Kowalski’s home that provided some information about the slayings. He said the note appeared to have been written after the shootings, but refused to say whether it was intended as a suicide note. Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Gary Childers said Kowalski is on suicide watch at the jail. Morse said some information published in other news outlets that indicated the motive was money was inaccurate, but some details were accurate. He refused to elaborate or discuss whether anything was taken finm the victims’ home. Morse said investigators received information at the scene of the slayings that pointed to family involvement in the slayings, which is why they told area residents they didn’t have to fear for their safety. Morse would not discuss whether additional arrests are expected. He said a handgun was used to kill Richard and Brenda Kowalski, but would not say whether it has "been recovered. He said police don’t believe any weapon from the military base was used in the slayings. If convicted, Kowalski faces a possible sentence of life in prison. He is being held without bond. Kowalski said at his arraignment that he will hire his own attorney. Morse said other investigators are actively working on the case, collecting evidence, conducting interviews and awaiting final autopsy and crime lab reports.

Schools develop crisis response Fowlerville Community Schools called on the services of school safety consultant Thomas Mynsberge when a low-level threat occurred at Kreeger Elementary School on March 31. Mynsberge was hired by the Livingston Educational Service Agency to help the county’s school districts develop a coordinated and effective response to potentially dangerous situations. Fowlerville administrators are working with LESA and Mynsberge to develop a critical incident management protocol for the schools. “LESA is funding a protocol to develop a safety plan for critical incidents,” Alverson said. “The board will schedule a policy workshop to go over the plan.” LESA wants to develop a unified crisis response in all five county school districts. Staff will be trained in the critical incident management protocol this fall to learn how to respond quickly in a crisis. School board hires literacy consultant The Fowlerville Community Schools’ Board of Education voted unanimously to hire a literacy consultant to coordinate all elementary literacy programs funded by federal money. The position will be paid for through federal funds, and will require the consultant to be responsible for communication between administrators, teachers, para-professionals and parents; instruction to teachers, para-professionals, students and parents; budgeting of approximately $328,000 in federal funding; and management of federal grant requirements.

Howell area Recreation unit to get new look Users of the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority will see a new overall look and Web site effective July 1, when the group officially breaks from the city of Howell to become its own entity. Funded by the city of Howell and townships of Oceola, Marion and Genoa, the recreation unit is looking to brand itself differently. A new color logo has been designed by Howell resident Susan Pominville. Howell resident Jerry Roberts, from Got Web Solutions, was brought on board to design a fun and intuitive Web site for the unit. From News staff reports L E T T E R Shackle prisoners, put them to work The rising costs of criminal incarceration is like an albatross on the state budget, but no one in Michigan wants criminals released from prisons prematurely unless they are innocent. Why not have prisoners do the work of the migrants in farm fields? Whatever the farmer pays the migrants for the same work could be paid to the Corrections Department. Isn’t it time felons were required to work for their food and health care? If they work with leg shackles they couldn’t run away and it would require fewer guards. Maybe some retired guards could volunteer to help out. Why can’t our legislators in Lansing think of ideas like this?

Township Zoning Inspector Don Burtraw and Trustee Pat Hohl, one of four board members who voted yes when Pine was relieved of her nonstatutory duties in March, join Pine on the Aug. 5 primary election ballot. Joanna Hardesty, seeking a fourth term as township clerk, is being challenged by Matt Skiba. TYeasurer Roberta Balon- Vaughn faces competition from Patrick Evon in her bid to keep her job. Incumbent Chuck Menzies is joined by seven other Republican candidates in seeking four trustee positions. The others who filed Tuesday include former supervisor Howard Dillman, Michael H. Dolan, whose father is a county commissioner, Bill Hahn, Jason Negri, Philip Semprevivo, former trustee Kevin Wiley and Michael Zeglevski. All offices are four-year terms, and all candidates are Republicans. Hohl, Hardesty, Balon- Vaughn and Menzies voted in favor of taking away several of Pine’s township duties that are not required by law. They include day-to-day oversight of the utiUties department, oversight of a project to bring municipal water to the M-36 corridor and participation on the personnel committee and as the township representative to the Livingston Community Water Authority. Pine has said the actions against her are politically motivated by Hohl to discredit her performance. A letter addressing this and pointing out her accomplishments was mailed to township residents last week. “From what I ’m hearing, I have a lot of support in the community,” Pine said. “I don’t think those four board members are necessarily representative of the township voters.” Pine is focusing her campaign on her accomplishments, which she said include implementing a fair and equitable pay scale for township employees, bargaining amicable and affordable contracts with two township pohce unions, paving the township’s portion of the Lakelands Trail and addressing flooding issues on the Huron River at Ore Lake. Concern about Pine’s handling of township business did motivate Hohl to run for supervisor, he said. “If things were going smoothly I would have had second thoughts, but they’re not running smoothly,” he said. “A lot needs to be done.” Hohl, who’s finishing his third term as a township trustee, would like Hamburg to go from a general law township to a charter township. He’d also like to see the township hire a manager. Recent board discord did not motivate Burtraw to run for office, he said. “I think I ’m a new face with new ideas, but I ’m not really looking at making dramatic changes if I ’m elected,” he said. “I just want to have a positive attitude and work for the good of the community.” Burtraw has worked in municipal government in equalization and zoning since 1973. He started in Alpena County and moved to Washtenaw County before coming to Hamburg Township to do zoning inspections and code enforcement.

In the 47th District race, four Republicans and two Democrats have filed to run for Rune’s seat. Republicans competing in the primary are Handy Township Supervisor Cindy Denby, Hartland school board member Charlie Aberasturi, Carl Konopaska of Fowlerville and Frank Portelli of Deerfield Township. The Democratic candidates are John Lazo Sr. of Pinckney and Scott F. Lucas of Hamburg Township. Also running in the 47th District is U.S. Taxpayers Party candidate Philip Johnson of Hartland Township, who will automatically get a spot on the November general election ballot. Denby’s may be the most familiar name in the 47th race; the Handy supervisor also is Hune’s top aide at his Lansing office. “Cindy Denby is the favorite and should win the nomination,” Ballenger said. “... Rogers and Denby: It ’s their, race to lose, both in the primary and in the general election.” Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009. DOWNTOWN FROM A1 Streetscape work planned as part of Brighton proposal sonably healthy, older adults whose children are grown. Brighton City Council Member John Tlmis, who works as a commercial real estate agent, believes there is “absolutely” an underserved market for the type of housing that would be in the development. “I think it is an ingenious idea,” T\inis says. “With rising gas prices, more people have a desire to live in small city communities with access to stores and restaiu^ts, and they don’t have to use their automobiles.” The development would be augmented by streetscape work to be financed by a $400,000 downtown infrastructure Community Development Block Grant through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. Brighton Community Development and Planning Director Matt Modrack says if all goes as planned he will sub- Burton-Katzman is proposing a mix o f retail storefronts, a restaurant and 42 one- and two-bedroom apartments for an area that now includes a vacant storefront, a parking lot and three vacant homes in downtown Brighton. This is a view of the proposal from West Street. The plan will come before the Brighton Planning Commission Monday. mit the application in June. Improvements would include decorative lighting, brick pavers and lighted crosswalks. He said it is significant the project is being proposed, given the state of the Michigan economy. “The city of Brighton has two significant projects that are senior-oriented and downtownoriented,” he says. The other is the Reenders senior housing project, a 110-unit apartment complex plaimed for the 700 block of North Second Avenue. “What it says to me is our downtown is a desirable residential market,” Modrack says. DiMaggio says rather than developing a mix of apartments and condos, his company will give clients the option of a straight rental or paying an “entry fee,” in which the person submits a down payment and receives a reduction in rent. In Brighton, Burton- Katzman is partnering with HPD Cambridge, which has developed similar, though larger, projects in the S t Louis and Chicago areas. Burton-Katzman also has a development proposal to the south of Brighton in Green Oak g Township. At one time the plan " was for nearly 1,300 homes, apartments and condos and 750,000 square feet of retail space on 285 acres.

Words o f wisdom from Erik: "Survivor" superfan Erik Reichenbach of Hamburg Township goto iot of airtime on CBS's "Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites" because of his coiorfui way of saying things. Here are some o f his more memorabie quotes: SURVIVOR FROM A1 COURTESY. CBS On fellow fan Kathy Sleckman; "I'm pretty confident she's curled up in the fetal position just trying to stay alive." Erik said this in reference to Kathy's third trip to Exile Island. She left a few episodes later, saying she couldn't take the game anymore. On staying strong: "There's a direct way to go about something, but that's not always the best way. You can run into a wall 100 times, but that's not the best way to get rid of the wall." Erik said this at the Tribal Council when host Jeff Probst asked if the fans needed to keep their tribe physically strong. On "Survivor" favorite Ozzy Lusth: "Ozzy is amazing. The kid can swim like crazy. He's natural in the water. That's just how he was born and there's nothing to it other than that, and I can't compete with him. He's just amazing." Erik said this in reference to being part of a tribe with one of his "Survivor" idols. He was accused of having a "man crush" on Ozzy. Pleading with feiiow fan Chet Weich: "He'll kill us. He will kill me and Tracy (Hughes-Wolf). If you do this for us, it would be the biggest gift you could give us on the way o u t ... you could use your last dying breath to do something for us in this game and I would be incredibly grateful." Erik said this to Chet about trying to vote out Ozzy instead when Chet asked to go due to a foot injury. On alliances: "Rather than being in opposition to Ozzy - one of the rnost powerful players in the game - I'm now aligned with him in some kind of zookeeper kind of bond now. I'm more the monkey and he's the zookeeper now because I owe him my life now." Erik was speaking about Ozzy stepping up to keep him and coax the tribe to vote out Ami Cusak, in what Erik called one of his scariest times in the game. On Dabu; "I love that everyone thinks Erik looked up Micronesian. Hell no, I didn't. I just wanted to name the tribe something funny." Erik said this after bluffing the merged players into naming their new tribe Dabu because he said it meant "good" in Micronesian. On excess: "Beer and betel nuts are not a good combo." Erik said this after throwing up from partying too hard with islanders on Yap aRer winning a reward challenge. On Yap: "I've never seen so many boobs in my life." Yap women in native dress go topless. On the "Survivor" host: "That's Jeff Probst. He's just standing there." Erik said this to his brother Kurt, who traveled to Micronesia for a reunion episode. Probst responded, "Erik, you're a freak." On the women; "Damn, damn. Those girls got me. Those girls finally realized Erik is full of crap and decided to send me back to Hell." These were his parting words after being voted out. He had given up his immunity to Natalie Bolton, forfeiting his guaranteed spot in the final four. On being voted off: "I feel like an idiot, but I kind of am an idiot, so it's OK." Reichenbach says he'd return if asked not to sit on their couches and judge players too harshly. He adinits that advice had something to do with his outcome, but says it also has to do with three days of filming each week being edited into a one-hour show. His decision to give his immunity to Natalie Bolton is an example, he says. “It’s hard to understand the complexity of the votes when you only see a little bit of what’s going on,” Reichenbach says. “My last day there, those women were driving me insane.” Reichenbach has been asked if he ran away fi’om the TYibal Council after his torch was snuffed out because he was crying over what had happened. “I was free,” he says. “A huge weight had been lifted off of me.” Things started getting tough for Reichenbach when James Clement, part of the original “favorites” tribe, left because of an infected finger, and he became the only man left in the game. “No one looked at me as any kind of a threat until then,” he says. “I was just a happy kid. I was just enjoying myself. After that, I definitely started being afraid and I s t^ e d to grapple with what to do.” Reichenbach admits he was gullible, but dropping out of a challenge for a bowl of candy wasn’t one of those times. “I was starving,” he says. “But I really dropped out to sit on the bench and talk to Cirie (Fields). It was the only time we had to talk alone.” A graphic arts student, Reichenbach created the flag for Dabu, the merged tribe of fans and favorites. He also took planks left from one of the game’s challenges ^to make a checker board. “I ’m good at creating and making stuff, but I ’m terrible at checkers,” he says. Winning rewards and visiting . the native islanders of Yap were * the highlight of Reichenbach’s time in Micronesia. “Yap is a lot like Hell,” says Reichenbach, comparing it to the Putnam "Township hamlet where he scoops ice cream. “There’s the same feeling of ev- | eryone being happy. No one is doing anything huge or amazing, but they’re happy with their lives.” Reichenbach says he would return to “Survivor” as an “allstar” if asked. He says he’d definitely play more aggressively, but he wouldn’t change who he is. “You also have to remember where you come from and who you are,” he says.

The rustic buildings, white farmhouse and outbuildings used to be the Cornell Lumber Co., which was owned by Gerry Anscombe’s father; she grew up just down the road. “It’s been a privilege to have gained all of these friends,” Gerry Anscombe added, saying that some of her customers are second generation. “People are so niqe.

BRIEF Genoa Square adding space Developer Harvey Weiss has the second phase of his Genoa Square development well under way. Two retail buildings are being constructed on spec just east of Kohl’s at 1-96, with one retailer committed to nearly 12,000 square feet of the rear building. Weiss is developing and managing the Genoa Township site. A smaller, 6,750-square-foot brick building at the front of the lot will mirror an outlot building to the west that has AT&T, Biggby Coffee and Bo- Rics as tenants. The rear building, totaling about 30,000 square feet, will be home to a new Dollar Tree store this summer that will occupy about one-third of the building. Weiss said, adding that it could be open by mid- September. “We are hoping to attract some fashion-type tenants to complement Kohl’s,” he said about the additional space. Details about leasing space can be obtained by calling Brad Rosenberg and David Hessan at Landmark Commercial Real Estate at 248- 488-2620. Weiss said a 30,000-squarefoot third phase of the development also is planned. ALDIfood market planned in Genoa An ALDI food market is planned the southwest corner of Grand River Avenue and Golf Club Road, across from the CVS pharmacy just east of the city of Howell in Genoa Township. 'Township Planner Kelly VanMarter said the Illinoisbased discount specialty grocer is seeking final site plan approval for the store at 2250- 2260 E. Grand River Ave.; the site plan is expected to be considered at the June 9 Planning Commission meeting, she said. According to the store’s Web site, their approach includes selling only 1,300 of the fastestmoving grocery items, with 40 percent of store space devoted to fresh, refrigerated and frozen foods. Dry and canned foods are put in self-displaying cartons. 'The stores also offer specials such as seasonal food and housewares marketed under their own labels. In addition, the market has a simplified approach, encouraging customers to bring their own bags - and bag their own groceries. Stores take only cash and PIN-based debit cai^s for payment. ALDI has 850 stores in 27 states. Details: www.aldifoods. com. Send retail news to Casey Hans at chans® livingstoncommunitynews.com or call 810-844-2005.

Attracting students who do not live in the district has helped keep the Brighton school district viable for the last several years. There were 450 students enrolled through schools of choice this past school year. “We’re trying to improve our attraction to school of choice kids and making sure to get the word out,” says Craig, referring to the district’s latest advertising campaign that includes a billboard facing the northbound lanes of US-23 just south of the M-36 exit in Green Oak Township. “The placement of the sign is to try to get people who are driving through the Brighton area.” Craig says that although the majority df the school of choice students who come to Brighton are from the Howell school district, they also come from the south, specifically South Lyon and Whitmore Lake. Finding for the billboard and other current print advertisements is from the district’s general administration accounts, which he says still have funds available for this year. He says $25,000 has been set aside for advertising, but that the total expenditure will probably be closer to $22,000. The advertising campaign specifically asks people to “Make us your school district of choice” and includes mention of the district’s gifted and talented program and high academic standards. “We’ll assess whether it’s effective or not by asking school of choice folks how they heard of us and why they are coming to Brighton,” Craig says. “I think we have high academic standards and high performance, lots of opportunity for kids to participate, and a high quality staff.” Despite predictions that the Brighton school district is facing a $3.1 million deficit by June 2009, Craig says, “I think people can feel confident that there will be a school district. Our first goal is to preserve programs and services for kids. We value what goes on in the classroom first, and have done the utmost to preserve that. We’ll have the same priorities we’ve always had.” For more information on the Brighton school district, go to the district Web site at www.- Leadersof the Brighton Area Schools are counting on new advertisements, like the billboard facing north on US-23, to attract more schools-ofchoice students. Each student brings $7,357 to the district in state aid, which would help with the district's anticipated $3.1 million deficit for next year.

Boy, have we learned a lot in that time: ■ We’ve learned that you are willing to accept another local newspaper, as long as the content is relevant to your life. That’s why we created a newspaper that was not your typical local weekly. We put a premium on stories about people, stories about community events and stories that put into perspective the most important local issues and news developments. Part of that plan was regular weekly features that incorporate you into the newspaper; A Community Calendar that lists local events; a Community Scrapbook that publishes your photos; an Achievers column to celebrate your life accomplishments. Since that very first edition, we’ve been the newspaper “Where your news is our news.” But we don’t put that motto on the front page each week just to be clever. We put it there as a reminder to you - and to us - that we are dedicated to listening and incorporating your ideas into the stories we write. If it’s important to you, it’s important to us. ■ We’ve learned that the best way to connect with readers is to get involved in the community. While newspapers often take the “distant observer” approach to covering a community, we don’t believe that works. Instead, we think it’s best to get involved in ways that don’t compromise our ability to report honestly and fairly on what happens lotMy. We are fortunate to have half of our staff living in Livingston County. We have editorial and advertising staff members who live in Hamburg and Howell, and near Fowlerville and Brighton. Elven those who don’t live here serve on boards and committees for local agencies, volunteer in the schools, stock the shelves at food pantries and work at local events. As a company we have created partnerships to produce a number of special publications that bring attention to the many local events, including the Fowlerville Family Fair, Pinckney’s Art in the Park and Brighton’s Summerfest. ■ We’ve learned that even after five years, there’s still confusion over who we are. That will happen in a community with a weekly newspaper called The Livingston Community News and a daily newspaper called the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus. But let me be perfectly clear about this: We are not affiliated with the Press & Argus. We are the 100 percent local newspaper that is delivered to your home each weekend. We are the newspaper that is delivered to more Livingston County hbuseholds - about 50,000 each week - than any other local publication. We are the weekly newspaper that is part of the growing Ann Arbor News family of publications. In fact, we’ve just added our own new publication - Lake Living - to serve the lake communities in Livingston and Washtenaw coimties. Yes, we’ve learned a lot fix)m you in the last five years about how to meet your information needs. And I assure you we’ll keep listening and finding new ways to tell the stories of the fascinating people who make Livingston County such a vibrant place to live and work.

Farm project carries on Soft, fu z z y creatures a h it w ith 3 rd -g ra d e rs at th e W y lie -A b b e fa rm BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Ahaircut is a haircut to Matthew Lundell, but watching a sheep get her spring trim? Well that’s a different story. “I think it was sort of funny,” said the 9-year-old third-grader from Howell’s Hutchings Elementary School. “It might be my favorite thing here so far.” Matthew was among about 500 third-graders from Brighton, Howell, Hartland and Pinckney at this year’s Livingston County Farm Bureau’s Rural Education Day, called Project RED. The May 8 event went on as planned at Jean Wylie- Abbe’s 30-acre Howell Township farm, despite Wylie-Abbe’s death in January from a stroke. “I t ’s what Jeannie would have wanted,” said Sarah Wylie, her daughter-inlaw. W ylie, her husband, Jon, and his sister, Jan Wylie- Klatt, hope to carry on with Project RED, and a therapeutic horse riding program also offered at the farm. “Jeannie always thought it was cool to bring kids out to the farm so they could learn about it,” Sarah Wylie said. Before Project RED came to the Wylie-Abbe farm six years ago, Livingston County students went to Michigan State University to see how horses are shoed, how bees make honey, how dogs herd sheep, how gardens grow and the way pigs, cattle, horses, rabbits, chickens, goats and sheep sound, feel and smell. “This is much smaller and a more personal setting,” said Beth Tinsley, a Hutchings Elementary third-grade teacher who’s been taking students to Project RED for a decade. “I t ’s right here in our area. These kids don’t live in the city, but they don’t have a lot of exposure to farm life. This is a great way to get it.” As it is every year, the “smell” of the farm took a bit of getting used to and the soft, fuzzy animals were a hit. “I like the little baby chicks because they’re so soft and small,” said thirdgrader Allison Lord, 8, of Hutchings Elementary. “The bunnies were fat and had fluffy fur. I t ’s really, really fun to learn about all the animals. The Farm Bureau organizes Project RED to teach kids the way rural Livingston County once was. Some of the lessons are taught by kids in the county’s 4-H program, and Visit us online Find more photos featuring Project Red online by visiting: mlive.com/livingston communitynews m iiv e •com Third-graders from Livingston County had the opportunity to learn about farm animals, 4-H and farm life at the Livingston County Farm Bureau's Project RED - which stands for Rural Education Day - at the Wylie-Abbe Farm.

Below left, farrier Anna Dean of Howell Township trims a horse's hooves as part o f a demonstration. it’s not only the kids that learn things. “It takes three shearings of a sheep to make one sweater,” said Melanie Kempistry, who accompanied her 9-year-old son, Robby, to Project RED as a chaperone. “I don’t think people appreciate the work it takes to have these animals and run a farm. Coming here helps, and then they back to school and home and talk more about it.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews. com or at 810-844-2011. 'It's right here in our area.These kids don't live in the city, but they don't have a lot of exposure to farm life.This is a great way to get it.' Beth Tinsley, Hutchings Elementary teacher Attention campers: Ban Tm bored' from your vocabulary Howell lineup spans variety o f interests BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News New summer camp offerings from the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority have been designed with two goals in mind: Give parents peace of mind and keep kids asking for more. Organizers believe they’ll meet those goals with a 10-week lineup featuring fun-filled activities that will take campers to daily destinations throughout the community. The true measure of success will be in campers’ reactions, explains Debbie Jacobs, camp director. “I will know this is a success when I hear the campers say, ‘This is the best summer I ’ve ever spent’.” Jacobs, known as the recreation authority’s head preschool teacher, is setting high expectations for the authority’s inaugural day camp season, but they have a niche product - full-day camp, with before- and after-camp care. As a bonus, each of the six permanent counselors are certified public school teachers. “I think the parents are really going to feel good about the quality of the people we’ve hired,” says Jacobs. In years past, Jacobs supervised the recreation department’s camps, run over two weeks, a few hours each day. That doesn’t work for many families today, she says. ‘"Times are changing (with the increase in two-income households.) We need to change with them.” According to Debbie Milkula, recreation authority director, “a lot of time and energy has been put into planning these camps” from the daily activities of each camp, to developing backup activities in case of rain or low enthusiasm. Topping the list of activities: Daily walking trips to the Thompson Lake beach, arts and crafts, nature study, fishing, archery, computers and sports. Campers, between 5 and 12 years old, will be separated into age-appropriate groups, with one adult to every eight children. A maximum of 45 campers will be accepted each week. Special activities at the Howell Carnegie District L ibrary, local retailers and area parks also area planned. The idea of getting campers out into their community was part of the planning process, says Jacobs. “We’ll keep them active, engaged, but also teach them about the community.” Mikula, who had used day camps for her children when they were younger and she worked in Lansing, was bothered by the minimal day-long camp offerings available locally then. “As a parent, I would have preferred they were here at home (in Howell rather than driving up to 30 minutes out of the way.)” The women say most working parents drive outside the city for work, making this camp program “convenient S E E RECREATION, A 8 A8 T H E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N IT Y N E W S FR ID A Y , M A Y 16, 2 0 0 8 Summer day camps ■ What: Ten weeks of themed activities offered through the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority, with before- and after-camp care. ■ Who: Children ages 5-12. ■ Where: Campers will use park facilities throughout the city of Howell, with dropoff and pickup at the Barnard Community Center, 415 N.

The district piloted two sections - a total of 48 students, chosen by lottery at parents’ request - to attend kindergarten four days a week instead of the three-day, all-day kindergarten previously offered. In surveys, the parents of 24 students in the four-day kindergarten all agreed the program has been beneficial and is playing a significant role in their children’s academic progress. Several parents said the only way to improve the program would be to make it five days a week and offer it to all Idndergarten students. Superintendent Ed Alverson said he thinks this is where the state wants schools to go. “By 2010, if you haven’t moved to five-day, all-day kindergarten, I think your funding will be prorated,” Alverson said. “That is the direction the state is headed.” In Fowlerville, most parents appear to agree with this direction. Of the 170 students currently enrolled in the 2008- 09 kindergarten class, 137 or 81-percent have requested to have their children’s names placed in a lottery for next year’s program. The board will determine if the four-day kindergarten program will be continued in 2008-09 during its upcoming budget deliberations.

Recycle Livingston, Snedicor's team up to reuse hangers 5"CdfCorls G ' flocyckt Liv«gston COURTESY. RECYCLE LIVINGSTON Jim Gillligan of Snedicor's Cleaners and Linda Berch of Recycle Livingston show off how much the company has donated for the more than 15,000 wire hangers they have turned in so far. From News s taff reports Recycle Livingston and Snedicor’s Cleaners have joined forces to reduce the number of clothes hangers entering the waste stream. Recyclers can return any hangers they have received from Snedicor’s to Recycle Livingston or any Snedicor’s Cleaners location or delivery route. In return, Snedicor’s Cleaners will donate 5 cents per hanger to Recycle Livingston. These donations will help Recycle Livingston with the ongoing expansion of services, said Recycle Livingston director Linda Berch. Since the start of the program last August, Snedicor’s has given Recycle Livingston $766.25, which means that they have recycled 15,325 hangers. Their future goal is to get a minimum of one third of their hangers back, meaning that Recycle Livingston would receive about $2,000 per year. Only Snedicor’s Hangers, not those from other stores or cleaning businesses, are accepted. Free hanger holders are provided to Snedicor’s Cleaners customers to help them keep their closets organized and to make recycling easier.

The memorial to fallen heroes was dedicated to the memoiy of Staff Sgt. Thomas W Christensen and Specialist Andrew P Daul. Members of Jiheir families were among a crowd estimated at 350 people that witnessed the unveiling under sunny sides at the Brighton cemetery. DauTs parents, Mike and Kathy Daul of Brighton Township, said they foimd the serwce “tremendously gratifying.” Christensen’s father, also named Tom, said the memorial renewed his pride in his son. The bronze-and-granite memorial is topped by a field cross consisting of a soldier’s helmet balanced on an M-16 rifle and flanked by military boots. Among the speakers was U.S. Army Major Joseph H. Albrecht, DauTs commanding officer, who called Daul a “magnificent yoimg man and a great solder.” U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers said he hoped that the fmnilies of the solders being honored understand that it was moments like this dedication ceremony l^ a t it was the commimity’s way of “saying how sorry we are for your loss... and that we shall never forget.” Jon Bushart, president of the Fallen Heroes Memorial Fbimdation that erects the memorials in the hometowns of Boldiers killed during the Iraqi war, asked those present to pay special attention to military veterans in their midst this Memorial Day. “Please take time to thanks a friend or a neighbor who has served our country,” he said. Daul, 21, was killed Dec. 19, 2006, when an Improvised explosive device was detonated near his tank He was a Brighton High School graduate who was six months away from completing his U.S. Army service.

Newspaper readers don't look at newspaper ads to be polite. They aren't browsing for the sake of browsing^ or just 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 products 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 dose a sale.

In May, Livingston County commissioners approved buying a 12.4-acre property adjacent toe Livingston County Airport. The county is negotiating with U-M on building a shared facility that would be used for Survival Flight, Livingston County’s Emergency Medical Service and potentially a third entity. Jeff Boyd, director of Livingston County EMS, said U-M had approached the county about building the joint facility. His agency, he said, also had outgrown its existing space. “Livingston County EMS doesn’t need access to a runway,” said Boyd. “Our property selection was based on accommodating toe needs of Survival Flight.” The facility could be owned by toe county, and leased to U-M. The actual arrangement has not been worked out, officials said. The $440,000 purchase price of the property will be paid out of toe EMS unit’s budget. Krista Hopson, a spokeswoman for U-M Health System, said no agreements have been signed, though U-M is interested in sharing a facility with Livingston County. She could not comment on whether U-M would expand its Survival Flight operations in the county. U-M now operates a Survival Flight helicopter from a What do you think?

In discussions with the county, U-M has mentioned moving that helicopter and supporting personnel to the new facility, and possibly adding a second helicopter. It also has mentioned the possibility of basing small charter- style aircraft at the facility, said County Commissioner David Domas. The charter-style aircraft are used to transport patients and organs from across the country to the U-M Medical Center in Aim Arbor. The helicopters are used for shorter trips, and to respond to emergencies such as automobile crashes. Following the fatal crash last June of an airplane leased by Survival Flight, U-M severed its contract with the company that provided and operated that aircraft. Marlin Air Inc. Right now, U-M uses several private companies, paying by the flight. One of the companies has a base at Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti. U-M is weighing whether to sign a longterm contract with one of those companies or purchase its own aircraft.

Nearly 70 community leaders volunteered to get up on the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts stage and, well, make a fool of themselves for a good cause: The Rotary Club’s scholarship funds. Performers included the likes of Clearly University President Tom Sullivan leading his group through the Beatles tune, “Sgt.

Livingston County Commissioner Maggie Jones performs "You Gotta Have a Gimmick" from the musical "Gypsy" during the Lip Stync production. She was joined in the number by Barb Barden and Anne Belser. Lil Styncing to "You're the One That I Want" from Grease are Carol Griffith of Griffith Realty and Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte.

Medrick has been a foster parent for more than 200 teenagers over the past 20 years. “There’s a lot of satisfaction inlmowing that these kids have a sense of thmselves and that they can succeed,” says Medrick, who also has three biological children. “Helping them realize that they do have worthwhile gifts and talents and that they can do things they didn’t think they could do is so important. People are afraid of teens. They do go through a lot at that age, but they’re a lot less work than small children.”The Foster, Adoption, Kinship Services Workgroup, a collaborative group that works under the Human Services Collaborative, is looking for more families interested in fostering teens. The group says 82 children are in foster carfe placements every month. “The main need we have is for foster parents for teenagers and those involved in the juvenile justice system,” says Alissa Parks, collaborative community planner for the Livingston County Human Services Collaborative Body. “We have more than enough foster homes for babies and young children.” Parks says the goal is to place children in their original neighborhood or school district, and that homes are needed in each of the five school districts in Livingston County. According to the Foster, Adoption, Kinship Services Workgroup, there are 51 licensed foster homes in Livingston County and the majority are located in the Howell and Brighton school districts. Medrick, who lives in Howell, has stayed in touch with dozens of her foster children. She has been licensed through the county’s juvenile court system. “It takes a lot getting used to being with someone who has real rules,” says Medrick. “I have this theory. You tell them what the rules are and what the consequences are, and if they don’t follow the rules, you follow through with the consequences. It only takes a few experiences With that, and they follow the riUes.” Parks says more children are being cared for by relatives than ever before. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEVYS Pat and John Medrick, left, have been foster parents for 20 years and want to encourage others to become foster parents. With them are a former foster child, Melissa Zarembski, at right, and Zarembski's daughter, Ara. and that it is a statewide goal to keep kids who are removed from biological families with their relatives. Medrick says she has tried to make all her foster children feel like they are part of her family. “These kids have come from really hard places, and by the time they become teenagers, they are damaged,” says Medrick. “If you are willing to invest a little bit of yourself and get past the stuff that they’re going to dish out, it will be a rewarding experience and the results are almost immediate.” For more information on becoming a foster parent, on adoption and on other ways to support children in the community, contact the Foster, Adoption, Kinship Services Workgroup at 517-548-0233 or go to Web at www.co.livingston.mi.us/hscb and select FAKS.

Schedules have been set up in phases to minimize the impact to pedestrian traffic. However, when the painting of the railing on the bridge and 'Wdge (footbridge over the Mill Pond) is being done, pedestrian access may be limited. Downtown event schedules have been taken into consideration in setting up the schedule, and the contractors have been instructed that there will be no work performed during those events. Gold party to raise money for boy Rottermond Jewelers will host a fundraising gold party tonight, June 6, at its downtown Brighton store that is designed to help the family of a young boy pay for his medical treatment. The “Cash in for a Cure” gold party will run 6-7:30 p.m. at the store, 102 E. Main St. It is a fundraiser for Joshua Hyatt, the 4-yearold son of Audra and Robert Hyatt. Joshua has autism spectrum disorder and the jewelry store is donating 10 percent of the value of the recovered gold and silver to his medical treatment fund. Audra Hyatt said she got the idea from her cousin, who had been to a gold party. “I know the Rottermonds very well. We go to the same parish, St. Joseph Church, in Howell,” she says. “People come in with their gold and get cash, so it was a perfect situation.” Scouts host parade for 4th of July Brighton Boy Scout 'IVoop 350 is once again organizing and sponsoring the Independence Day parade in Brighton.

Courthouse concerts returning to Howell O r g a n iz e r s o f s u m m e r s e r ie s a r e in n e e d o f s p o n s o r s BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News ' Four weeks before the summer’s first concert, organizers of the Concerts at the Courthouse in downtown Howell find themselves several thousand dollars shy of their sponsorship target. The Livingston Arts Council has hosted the free summer concert series on the lawn of the historic Livingston County courthouse for the last nine years. “It’s strictly the economy, It’s been a real challenge,” said Roger Dresden, event coordinator, when asked why he thought fundraising efforts ' have been down this year. While the absence of full financial support, or $8,000, I will not change the program’s lineup, there could be some alterations made to future LAC programs. Historically, the LAC has oversold concert sponsorships, which have been very profitable, to assist with other events I including Art at The Opera House, Acoustic Cafe, Legend of Sleepy Howell, Howell History Days and Got Art. Those events receive full funding not just through sponsorships, but with money raised in conjunction with the Concerts at the Courthouse. The Opera House is able to) put on events 20 weeks of a year, said Dresden, who owns Scully-Monroe (insur- Upcoming acts Concerts at the Courthouse run every Friday, July 4-Aug. 22.

Joined by other LAC members, Dresden on May 28 petitioned Howell’s Downtown Development Authority for an $8,000 contribution, but re ceived the authority’s standard $1,000. Dresden said they sought more DDA money in order to give small-business owners who are part of the DDA a break from individual funding requests. “The small business otvners are getting hit up every other day,” he said. “Because our events are an economic driver for downtown - they bring people and business downtown - we thought instead of going to the businesses, we’d go to the DDA.” The concerts are believed to bring about 1,000 people downtown each Friday of the series, making the $8,000 contribution, or $1,000 for each of the eight concerts, “a real big bargain,” in Dresden’s eyes. “That comes out to $1 per person,” he said. DDA members sympathized with the LAC’s funding situation, but explained that their group had its own budget issues. “We’ve recently been asked to do more bricte-and-mortar projects,” said DDA treasurer Jeff Hansen about an earlier review of the DDA’s budget by Howell city council members. First National Bank, which long had been a $l,000-a-year sponsor of the concerts, pulled out this year, as did some smaller businesses who had pledged financial support following last year’s successful run. Lynn TYevor, owner of Howell Western Wear, was a firsttime contributor last year. She intended to contribute again this year, but changed her mind due to declining sales. “The economy is terrible. Everyone is tight right now,” she said. “I’d like to do it (sponsorship) again,” she said. “Being in a downtown location, I think it is important to support your town. We’re all a team.” In the meantime, Friday concert-goers may notice an increase in “pass-the-hat” requests this year.

Konkel has moved into her own 1,000-square-foot space in downtown Brighton, right next to Alterations Unlimited, where she used to share space. Custom school varsity jackets remain her bread and butter, but Konkel has expanded her adult and youth spirit wear lines for Brighton as well as Whitmore Lake, Pinckney, Hartland, Howell and Walled Lake Central high schools. She also offers silk-screening and embroidery services, some of which is done on site. Konkel said the shop sells not only spirit wear, but also does work for local businesses including shirts, jackets and logo development. She purchased the customer list and phone number from the former Slayton Silk- Screening two years ago. “It’s kind of grown with me, which has been really great,” said the Brighton native, who has worked in marketing and sales, studied fashion design and had her own sewing business. As part of the store’s grand opening festivities, Konkel said she is doing a drawing this month for a varsity jacket to any area school.

Brighton has had a Pet Provisions store for 18 years; a Genoa Township store closed three years ago. “It’s been our goal ever since we left to come back,” said Tim Holliday, who owns the business with his wife, Sarah. Holliday said the Howell store, which opened this week, is 6,000 square feet, larger than the Brighton location. He said the store will carry more lines of dog food: “everything from ultra-highend holistic all the way down to grocery brands.” He said Pet Provisions is unique in that it has focused on Livingston County and has been here for so many years. “We’ve always tried to carry a complete line of products,” he said. “Our service knowledge is something we pride ourselves in.” Holliday said they are talking with a pet adoption group about adoption days at the new location; Rirry Friends has pet adoptions at the Brighton store on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. ■ Address: 1121 E.

The building has been expanded to 80 seats and other repairs have been made. The renovation project cost $ 1 0 1 ,0 0 0 . Brighton Hospital chapel is renovated and renamed C h a n g e s a l lo w b u i l d in g t o r e t a i n t h e c h a rm o f a c o u n t r y c h a p e l BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News The chapel at Brighton Hospital - one of the nation’s premiere chemical addiction treatment centers and a member of St. John Health - has been renovated, and will be formally dedicated in ceremonies today. It is being renamed the Ludington Peace Center, in honor of Ivan Ludington Jr. and his late father, Ivan Ludington Sr, who “have provided a continuous chain of service since 1962 on the hospital’s board of directors,” according to Vice President of Development Rich Kramer. The $101,000 renovation project began in February and took four months to complete. Kramer said a “substantial gift” from Ivan Ludington Jr. and many other gifts, both large and small, paid for the improvements. In the renovated chapel guests may sit, pray, or meditate to the “babbling brook” sound of a new, self-contained water fountain. Kramer said the improvements serve to enhance the atmosphere of spirituality one senses upon entering. “It’s something you feel in your bones the minute you open the door,” he said. “It quiets your soul and opens you up to new messages and new ways of living.” The chapel was built in 1939 at Camp Legion, a Depression- era cooperative farming camp for the sons of wounded or deceased war veterans and was donated to the hospital by the Ford Motor Co. “When they closed the facility, the chapel was no longer needed, and we were gifted the building,” Kramer said. “It was taken 30 miles to Brighton Hospital on a huge truck, and the steeple was reattached.” The chapel’s original dedication was in 1960. “It was rather austere before, and now it’s quite lovely and comfortable,” Kramer said. The renovated building, which has an expanded seating capacity of 80 people, has been given new seats, floors and HVAC system among other improvements. The steeple - which had experienced wood damage - has been repaired and reinforced. The new electronics housed in the chapel will allow access to addiction recovery programs for patient education and staff training. The high-tech gadgetry includes a video camera and computer projector to facilitate presentations, and a closed-circuit television system in which presenters’ messages can be transmitted live to patients’ rooms. But the white wood frame that has made the edifice a distinctive feature of the hospital for the last 48 years is still there, continuing to give it a “country chapel” look, Kramer said.

R e s i d e n t b i t o n t h e le g b y a fo x in M a y BY USA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News The first case of rabies in Livingston County this year has been reported in Marion Township. A local resident was bitten on the leg by a fox in late May, and the fox was later reported as positive for rabies by the Michigan Department of Community Health. It was found in a field near Mason and Dieterle Roads west of Howell. Livingston County Public Health officials strongly advise anyone who may have been exposed to the fox to immediately seek medical attention. Livingston County Medical Director Dr. Donald Lawrenchuk says that rabies post-exposure prophylaxis is highly effective in preventing rabies in people who may have been exposed to a rabid animal, as long as it is administered before symptoms develop. In a statement, Lawrenchuk said, “We want to remind residents of the importance of having their pets and other animqls vaccinated. Since a fox can travel many miles, this case of rabies shows how easy it would be for pets to come in contact with wild animals.” Lawrenchuk says the Health Department cannot reveal personal information about the incident, but he explaihs that the person exposed is getting proper treatment, and most people who follow through with treatment do well. Last year there were seven cases*of rabies reported in Livingston County, involving five bats, one skunk and one dog. The Health Department also advises keeping your pets under supervision so that they don’t come in contact with wild animals and to call the local animal control agency if you see stray domestic animals, because they may be unvaccinated and could be infected by the disease.

You’ve r got to try things on for size to see if they fit.” Carter’s career journey began after eighth grade when a planned family move to central Mexico due to her father’s job didn’t happen. I “I was devastated,” says " Carter. “I laid on the floor and cried for a month. It took a solid year for me to see anything good fiem it.” What finally emerged was a realization that the language and culture Carter had learned in preparation for the move had ignited a passion. “I loved the Spanish language and Mexican culture, and I was good at it,” she says. “I knew I needed to do something with it. I just didn’t know what.” ■ Thus began Carter’s exploration into becoming a translator or interpreter. “I could not spend the rest of my life saying other people’s words,” she says. “I have my own voice and my mouth is huge. I had to do something with leadership. I thrive on a challenge. I need to solve a problem.” So, it was off to a summer camp at a Christian film school to check out videojournalism. “I loved writing, but not the industry,” she says. “Another bad fit.” Anthropology seemed good. Carter says, because it had to do with culture and travel. She met with the director of MSU’s anthropology department, but the classes that taught evolution conflicted with her Christian upbringing. “But, it was a small school within a big university and I liked that,” Carter says. James Madison’s curriculum of politics, international relations and law school preparation was exciting, she says. And classes capped at 25 people were perfect. She - and Mitchell - gave a sigh of relief. “Mr. Mitchell not only listened to me, he believed in me,” Carter says. “I never would have been able to put words with my dreams without him. Not only do I know what I want to do, I have a goal.” Mitchell sees a bit of himself in Carter. His high school guidance counselor talked him out of becoming a teacher and set him off to college to pursue a career in business. “While the ‘business students’ sat in the fixjnt of the room talking ‘business,’ I sat in the back wondering when my next English class was,” he says. “I eventually became a teacher and a counselor because that was my right fit.” Carter and Mitchell know their talks are far from over just because she’s graduating. “Oh no,” says Carter. “I know I’ll still need his help and advice.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011.

LANE FROM Al Senior class president sees benefits of'smaller school' ) maybe run for office someday, but I’m not sure I could handle that. I’m not sure my skin’s thick enough.” She got a taste of politics serving in student council and as president of her class . council and of National Honor ’ Society. She helped organize the school’s fall blood drive for the American Red Cross and earned a scholarship for her academics and citizenship from the American Red Cross and the Fowlerville Community Schools board of education. Her father, Tim Lane, thinks his daughter’s choice of a political career is a good fit. “With her I think it’s the smart move; she’s pretty good at getting her point across,” he said. “Even when she was 13 or 14 she could hold her own in conversation. I’m very proud of her - as proud of her as any dad can be. She’s smart, hardworking, honest - sometimes she’s a little too frank. She gets that certainly from me.” At MSU she hopes to join a dance group because dancing is her favorite way to unwind. “I just want to dance some way because it’s a stress reliever and it keeps me in shape,” she said. She has been dancing since the age of 3, studying tap, jazz, ballet, hip-hop and lyrical dance. She studies at Maria’s School of Dance in Fowlerville, practicing nine hours a week. At a dance competition this spring Lane won a Steps on Broadway scholarship for 14 free dance classes at a Broadway studio, where she hopes to attend this summer. She said she loves the camaraderie of the dance studio and enjoyed the small-school atmosphere at Fowlerville High. “I think going to a smaller school has made it easier to know people,” Lane said. “I’m class president and in a bigger school I think it would be harder to do things like that because it’s harder to meet people.” Asked if he had anything he wanted people to know about his daughter, Tim Lane said, “Vote for her when the time comes.” P in c k n e y m a n p u l l e d f r o m M i c k e y C a r l L a k e 4 a g e n c i e s r e s p o n d e d a f t e r a n g l e r fe ll f r o m b o a t From News staff reports A Pinckney police officer called it just another on day on the job, but his quick action helped to save the life of a man who had fallen into Mickey Carl Lake a week ago. Officer Mike 'Rankle shed part of his uniform and dived into the Putnam 'Township lake one week ago when he was the first to arrive after his department got a 911 call about a man who had fallen into the lake while fishing from a boat. A man in a paddle boat directed him to a man face down just below the surface of the lake, about 25 feet from shore. “Get him out of the water,” Tl^nkle thought to himself. With the help of four agencies, Jason Pappas of Pinckney was pulled from the water and revived. Officials estimate he stopped breathing for as long as 15 minutes before CPR from several rescue workers eventually got him breathing again. Pappas was taken to the University of Michigan Medical Center and was initially listed in critical condition. Additional information about his condition was not available this week.

LETTERS Masons appreciate event supporters Howell Lodge No. 38 Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Michigan sincerely thank and appreciate the Downtown Development Authority and The Livingston Community News for their generous support of the Collectible and Antique Appraisal Event on May 17, which was a pleasant success. Thanks go out to the Village Market of Howell for supplying food and beverages, to the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Development Authority for publicity and onsite participation, and to our four wonderful appraisers: Virginia Fournier of Hartland, John Bozich of Frankenmuth Military Museum, Pat Heller of Liberty Coin Service in East Lansing and Mark Fenwick from Stadium Cards and Comics in Ypsilanti. Jay R. Drick, Howell Full-time supervisor wise for Lyon Twp. This letter is to compliment the Lyon Township board on making the supervisor a fulltime position. This is as it should be. Long have I objected to someone other than the elected official having so much control. There are horror stories in other cities concerning city managers who commit wrongdoing and walk away unscathed as they hop-scotch to another city or township. It would help if colleges and universities would eliminate “public administration classes.” It is the people who live in the community who are really concerned about its present and future. Beverly Chiasson, Green Oak Township Mental Health agency grateful Livingston County Community Mental Health Authority would like to publicly recognize Wal-Mart in Howell and the Michigan Alliance for Direct Care Professionals for their contribution to the first Livingston County Provider Appreciation event, on April 9. This gathering at Chemung Hills Golf Club and Banquet Center was a huge success in its effort to acknowledge those who support persons with disabilities to live in the community as independently as possible. Personal stories told by those families who benefit from these workers were heartfelt and moving. This event provided an opportunity for the community to say a big “thank you.” Livingston County Community Mental Health Authority knew that it would need community support to make this event a success. Collaboration in funding and planning truly made the event what is was intended to be. Shawn T.

I listened to a high school commencement speech that was so predictable, I knew exactly what he was going to say at a couple of points. Inspiring it was not. At least it was short. That’s probably what the several hundred graduates were thinking! I’m guessing that by the end of the summer, precious few of them will remember the guy’s name, let alone the point of his speech. Now before I get too deep into this, I should make it ' clear that this was not a Livingston County graduation ceremony; there are four local high school graduations this weekend. I was in another state celebrating the graduation of a niece. ^ But the experience is universal. Hundreds of high school seniors, anxious to be called graduates, assemble in a large arena to go through the motions of getting their high school diplomas so they can get on with the next stage of their lives. But before they can do that, they must go through the commencement ritual - and that means listening to a commencement speech. It was hard not to think back to my own high school graduation as long ago as that was. That’s when I heard that small voice inside my head I ask: “Hey, didn’t you speak at your high school graduation? Was your speech really any better? Of course it was ... at least that’s how I remember it. But, being the dedicated re- ^ porter that I am, I had to check. ' I dug out the cardboard box in the basement labeled: “Rick’s diploma and clips.” It’s a box filled with yellowed newspaper clippings of stories from early in my career and assorted mementos from those high school days. Tucked inside the diploma was a neat little bundlfe of five 4-by-6 note cards with a speech typed on it. “The past three y e a rs... have been challenging,” it starts. Pretty predictable. A few sentences later, I toss a bone to the teaching staff, recognizing that they, too, have gone through many changes. “Teachers have I come to realize that students no longer accept what is told to them by an individual simply because the individual is in a position of authority. Today’s youth want reasons and insist upon knowing, ‘Why?’” But don’t worry, just when ' it seems I might r e ^ y get the crowd worked into a radical, activist frenzy, I do the responsible thing and remind my 600- plus fellow graduates that with our new-found rights comes the responsibility to exercise our rights wisely. Safe. Clearly principal approved. Boring. It turns out I was no better than the guy I listened to last Saturday. You won’t find my speech on any of the Web sites that compile memorable graduation speeches. Heck, I didn’t even remember what I said that June evening 37 years ago. I sure didn’t remember I that I closed with a quotation (always a good way to start or end a speech) from English historian Thomas Carlyle: “Change, indeed, is painful; yet ever needful; and if memory has its force and worth, I so also has hope.” Managing Editor Rick Fitzgerald, a 1971 graduate of Saginaw Arthur Hill High School, can be reached at rfitzgerald@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2004. Take a to u r o f Pinckney r \ ! Tti- Houses, flowers, history are all featured in community tour BY LEANNE SMITH , The Livingston Community News History, gardens and mysteries await those who take a trip around downtown Pinckney on Saturday, June 14. The noon-5 p.m. Home, Garden & Historical Downtown Tour is being hosted by the Pinckney Garden Club to raise money for a Blue Star Highway marker. Tickets are $10 each. “People enjoy coming to a small town and Pinckney has so much to offer,” said Patsy McGuire-Haggerty Dible, event organizer. “It should be a nice relaxing day. We can’t wait to show off our town.” The tour includes seven gardens, two homes and two cemeteries in the village and Putnam and Hamburg townships. Tickets are available at all locations and people can start the tour at any spot they wish, Dible said. The event also includes a walking tour of Pinckney, featuring eight businesses, four historic homes and other sites along Main Street. Tours leave from the village’s old Opera House, now Bleacher’s Bar & Grill, 135 E. Main St., at 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. A large golf cart is available for those who want to take the tour but can’t handle the walking, Dible said. Pinckney was platted in 1837, and despite fires in the late 1800s and early 1900s, many old storefronts remain. Some of their interesting features, including an underground tunnel and “door to nowhere,” also remain, Dible said. “You’ll have to join the tour to get answers to these mysteries,” she said. Rmds from the event will help the garden club purchase a Blue Star Highway marker for the Putnam Township Square in downtown Pinckney, Dible said. The markers, started by the National Garden Clubs Inc. in 1944, honor men and women who have served or are serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Advance tickets and maps are available in Pinckney at Mainly Chocolate & Coffee Cafe, 119 E. Main St., and Carousel Floral & Gifts, 105 E. Main St., or by calling Dible at 734-878-7020. Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@livingstoncommunitynews. com or at 810-844-2011.

SONIA L GOTTFRIED, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS (No. 9) Sarah Hurtubise home Hurtubise, a lifelong resident of Pinckney and this historic home, hopes visitors on the tour will be able to tell her more about the history of the place, built in late 1800s by Charles and Mary Teeple, owners of Teeple Hardware downtown. "I love the history," Hurtubise said. "I'll be putting out all the things I have for people to see, including Mary's photograph and her diploma." An interesting feature of this home is a diary from 1909-54 written on the wall just inside the cellar door. (No. 1 and No. 8 ) Diane Everett home & garden This three-story handcrafted log cabin in Hamburg Township was built in 1987 by Everett's father, Lawrence Smith. Eight gardens, including one with more than 3,000 daylilies and another with many unique hosta varieties, surround the landscape, which also includes a large pond. "Our gardens are not formal or manicured," Everett said. "They focus on smell and color and making use of spots that are difficult to reach with the lawn mower." (No. 3) Ann Jarema garden Located right off M-36, just east of McGregor Road, this garden is proof that peace and tranquility can be found just off a major highway. Jarema, a licensed nondenominational minister, has a flagstone pathway through her garden that passes by ferns and hostas on the way to a rose-covered nuptial garden. (No. 11) Sprout cemetery With no sign to mark it, many people may likely just drive by this old cemetery, which is the final resting place to some of Pinckney's original settlers and the families after which many local roads are named. "People are always interested in old cemeteries and this one is a very old and beautiful one to see," Dible said. (No. 6 ) Community Congregational Church The gardens, including a peaceful courtyard, at this downtown Pinckney landmark are maintained by the Pinckney Garden Club, which has its meetings there. An addition to one of the gardens is a Peace Pole. Performance artist shares her inspiration COURTESY, BARBARA NERI Hamburg Township performance artist Barbara Neri will be offering a performance group and workshops at her studio. She is pictured here in a performance called "Infinite Field." B a rb a r a N e ri will t e a c h w o r k s h o p s t h r o u g h P in c k n e y C o m m u n i t y Ed BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News From her studio, located in a bucolic setting in Hamburg 'Township, Barbara Neri creates a variety of “performance arts.” She describes her works of art as what happens when “visual artists feel a need to leave the still and silent object, canvas or drawing pad and go live in the gaUery. Their work becomes performative when it uses time-based mediums such as video and sound.” Neri calls herself multidisciplinaiy, meaning she uses different media to create her works of art. She works with artists of all media and theater genres, and will be facilitating a fi'ee performance art group at her studio this month. “I’m excited to open my space, and it’s located in such a beautiful area right by the Lakelands 'lYail,” she says. In addition to opening up her studio, she also will be teaching workshops in performance art through Pincloiey Community Education this summer. “In my performance art workshops, I give people opportunities to bring their en- SEE NERI,AS A8 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 2008 1 Marion celebrates its heritage C o m m u n i t y p la n s s p e c ia l e v e n t s J u n e 1 4 - 1 5 BY LAURIE H UM PHRE Y The Livingston Community News Marion Township officials, in a show of appreciation for simpler times, will host their first Heritage Days celebration June 14-15. Activities begin Saturday and Sunday at 9 a.m. “We expect to have a lot of people” said township planning commission member Jack Lowe, who is organizing the event with Clerk Tammy Beal. “We will have a lot of family activities so people should come and be able to spend the day for $3 (per person or $5 per car load.)” Among the planned activities are a flea market, an old-fashioned jam session for musicians, storytelling, chain saw and steam engine demonstrations and food stations. “Pulled pork, kettle corn, hot dogs, hand-dipped ice cream ... we’ll have a lot of food,” said Beal. But even more exciting than the food, a steam engine spark show slated for Saturday at dusk is expected to draw a large crowd, she said. “Even if you just moved here a year ago, people are very interested in what Marion Township was like 100 years ago,” Beal said when asked about the festival’s importance. While the 36 square miles of Heritage Days ■ What: A celebration of Marion Township's history, featuring antique farm equipment, live music, demonstrations and a flea market. Vendor spaces are available for rent by contacting township hall. ■ Where: Marion Township Hall, 2877 W. Coon Lake Road. ■ When: Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15. ■ Time: 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday. ■ Fee: $3 per person or $5 per car. ■ Details: 517-546-1588 or www.mariontownship. com, then click on the Bulletin Board section. Scroll to the second item. Marion Township continues to maintain much of it’s rural character, with more than 30 miles of gravel roads and commercial-industrial tracts limited mostly to the Interstate- 96 corridor, Beal said there have been a number of former farming parcels that have been turned into housing developments. “I think there would be even more if the economy were doing better,” she said, not unhappy with the housing starts, but reminiscing the township’s earlier landscape. Steve Ott, a Marion Township resident since 1972, plans to bring a few display items for the event. The oldest will be his 1910 steam engine. He participates in up to five of these festivals annually for two reasons; “It’s a good way to show the history of the farm equipment,” and a reason a little closer to the heart, “I wish I was a farmer.” His grandfather was a farmer, and the act of displaying his farm toys and educating others about them helps Ott connect with his heritage. The event will span both the inside and outside of the Marion Township Hall, 2877 W. Coon Lake Road, with parking to the west of the building. Festival participants will be shuttled to the site by an antique tractor pulling a hay wagon. “The goal is to offer people some education and some fun,” said Beal. Since it coordinates with Father’s Day weekend, she said another goal is getting people to come out with their fathers for some quality family time.

The team South Pole Patrol with members Brielle Haupt, Kelly Redmond and Natalie Sanders, all eighthgraders at St. Patrick’s Middle School in Brighton, were victorious with a toy they created that combines the physics of air power with the fun of a swivel and is controlled by a microcomputer that they wired and programed. Parent Pat Redmond led the team. The competition took place in San Diego May 31 with more than 422 teams competing. The purpose of TOYchallenge is to engage middle school-age students, especially girls, in science and engineering.

It will give people a chance to explore theater and do their own show. If you have an idea to develop, like reading poetry, you can do a one-person show and gain experience with the basic elements of performance and build confidence in those areas.” Neri’s interest in the arts began with dance while growing up in Indiana. She received a bachelor’s degree in art education from Butler University in Indianapolis, and a master of fine arts in dance from the University of Michigan. After graduating, Neri was hired by Saginaw Public Schools to develop a dance and performance program Events ■ What: Performance group. When: Beginning Thursday.

She began her solo career in the 1980s with a solo concert called 5 Dances and went on to establish Khoros Inc. a nonprofit arts organization that included artists and dancers creating and performing multimedia works of choreography, video, sculpture and sound. Neri opened a dance studio in Ann Arbor in the early 1990s and offered classes to the community. “My work took a whole other turn in 1995 when I had a dream about Elizabeth Barrett Browning,” says Neri. “I just followed the cues that I got and began researching her life and reading her work, and it turned into a huge project.” Neri focused on Browning’s love sonnets, called “Sonnets from the Portuguese,” with the goal of integrating them 1 into academic discussion. Her years of research will come to fruition in 2009 when a fivevolume edition of Browning’s poetry will be published. She has studied professionally in Chicago, New York and j England and has received ^ funding from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. Neri says, “Once performance art is in your blood, it’s hard to let go of it.” L isa C a ro lin c a n b e r e a c h e d a t lc a ro lin@ liv in g s to n c o m m u n ity n e w s .c o m o r a t 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 0 .

I’m not alluding to the Bulldogs’ remarkable turnaround this season, from a dismal 2-4 record to a season-ending fourgame winning streak that led to a Division 2 title from the Michigan Youth Rugby Association. I’m referring to his attitude about the championship. “I told them (the players), ‘Don’t go around telling people they are state champs,”’ he said last week. “ ... I told the parents ‘Don’t make a T-shirt that says ‘State champs.’ Just make a shirt that says ‘Division 2 champs.’ I know we are not the best in the state.” JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Ah, refreshing honesty. It’s a wonderful thing in today’s world of hype and marketing spin. Stone could have gushed about how his team “won” a state championship. Instead, he looked at it for what it is, a nice accomplishment for a rebuilding program. Kind of like winning the NIT for a college basketball team that is shunned from the NCAA Tournament’s big dance. With the recent growth of rugby, the MYRA adjusted its divisions for the playoffs, partly based on each team’s regularseason record. Brighton’s disappointing 3-4 mark, including a season-friale blowout of Howell, bumped the Bulldogs down to Division 2. Midway through the year. Stone already was dreading his speech at the team’s endof- the-season banquet. “I was trying to think what to say positive at the banquet,” Stone recalled. He said the Bulldogs SEE DEEGAN, B2 COURTESY, BILL BOUCHER Members of Brighton boy's rugby team, which experienced a turnaround this season, going from a 2-4 record to a season-ending four-game winning streak that led to a Division 2 title from the Michigan Youth Rugby Association. ■-t" Brighton junior Cole Haupt lines up a putt on the second hole of the Championship course at Oak Pointe Country Club during regional play May 29. Haupt and his four Bulldog teammates will be making their first appearance at states together this weekend in Allendale. PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON. COMMUNITY NEWS Teeing it up at states B r i g h t o n g o l f e r s a im f o r t o p s p o t i n D i v i s i o n I c o m p e t i t i o n BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Brighton senior golfer Jimmy Dewling bangs his tee shot down the fairway of the par-4 fifth hole on the Championship course at Oak Pointe Country Club in Genoa Township. His ball is 20 yards past his three opponents at regionals May 29 on the Bulldogs’ home course. One playing partner is in the trees, another a different fairway and the third in the rough. It’s shots like these that will eventually propel Dewling to a Division I regional championship. His 69 led the Bulldogs to their first regional championship since 2001, with a team score of 300, one ahead of Detroit Catholic Central. After a misstep at the final Kensington Valley Conference tournament, where they slipped to second place behind Novi, the Bulldogs feel they’ve regained their mojo heading into the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division I state finals today and Saturday at The Meadows in Allendale. The re gional score was the second-lowest in the state. “We are more than capable of winning states,” Brighton junior Cole Haupt says. “The difficult part is getting there. Once there, anything can happen. If you can put two days together, you never know what will happen. You just need a chance.” None of the Bulldogs - Haupt, Dewling, freshman Tommy Conway and seniors JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton senior Jimmy Dewling hits an approach shot to the par-4 fifth hole on the Championship course at Oak Pointe Country Club during last week's regionals. Dewling's 69 led the Bulldogs to a title and a berth in this weekend's Division I state finals. Nick Rollick and Josh Wylie - have experience at states, but they’ve been held to the fire all season teeing it up with top teams like Saline in tournaments. Hartland senior Nick Holda will also compete this weekend as an individual. “I’m not worried about being in this new situation,” Brighton coach Jonathon Wendrick says. “They’ve played so much golf together and have done so well. We are confident that they will do what they are capable of. They all get along real well.” Dewling admits there will be some nerves. “Once we get that first par or birdie, we’ll remember it is just us, the grass and the hole,” he says. “Once we find that comfort level, it will be just another round of golf.” Dewling, who averages right around par, has had a breakout senior year. He quit skiing this winter to play six high-level national golf events in warmer weather. He says he learned a lot about his game. “If one aspect of my game stands out, it would be course management,” he says. That skill will serve him well on a course known as a punishing test of accuracy. “If you try to be a hero, it (the course) will sting you,” Haupt says. “If you hit fairways and aim for the middle of greens for pars, take what the course gives you. Hopefully, we’ll come away with a state championship.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844- 2012. Cyclist battles his loss of vision He'll ride in Tour de Cure Sunday BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Cycling isn’t easy for Nathan Wassenberg. But that hasn’t stopped the 16-year-old Brighton resident from nurturing his growing passion for the sport. Wassenberg, a junior at Ann Arbor Academy, suffers from nystagmus, an involuntary eye movement that causes vision loss, and cataracts, a clouding of the lens, in both eyes. Despite those challenges, he plans to conquer a 70-mile loop Sunday with the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure, a bicycling event that raises money for research for a cure for diabetes. Last year, Wassenberg rode 15 miles in the fundraiser, raising $400. He’s raised more than $750 this year. He praises the Tour de Cure as a great “social environment” for biking enthusiasts. It is the largest Tour de Cure in the Midwest, with more than 900 riders and 100 volunteers expected at Island Lake State Recreation Area. The day’s fundraising goal is $340,000. “It is a great environment to be in,” he says. “When I bike, I bike for fun. I’m not one of those competitive people. I get a really big thrill out of biking. It is so much fun.” Wassenberg has gotten more serious about cycling in the past 18 months, inspired by the Tour de France and a nudge from his stepfather, John Roelofs, a Holland native who rides regularly. Wassenberg says SEE BIKE,82 COURTESY, NATHAN WASSENBERG Brighton resident Nathan Wassenberg rides during the Tour de Cure last year. He's riding the 70-mile route this year, overcoming his challenges of poor vision. South Lyon's Joe Persichini pitches against Brighton during a 9-6 win over the district finals at Brighton May 31.The Lions, who won their firstever district championship, play in their first regionals this weekend. LEISA THOMPSON, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Regional play begs question: who will advance? BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News T\vo locals teams expected to be playing ball this weekend, but two didn’t. And that’s what makes Saturday’s baseball and softball regionals so intriguing. Will the confident contenders -th e Hartland baseball and Howell softball teams - survive to advance to the Division I quarterfinals? Or will the underdogs - the Fowlerville softball and South Lyon baseball teams - continue their improbable runs? “Anything can happen” is the phrase South Lyon’s rookie baseball coach Jon Hatton keeps repeating to his Lions. South Lyon won its first district title in school history with its 9-6 upset of twotime Division I semifinalist Brighton in the district finals May 31. Here’s a look at the challenges ahead for each team: ■ South Lyon (15-20) vs. Jackson (27-13) 10 a.m. Saturday at Grand Ledge - Hatton says the Lions have come on strong after a 2-12 start. Even the turmoil of a couple seniors quitting late in the season didn’t slow them down. “It was looking grim,” he admits. “We had a sit-down, talked about things we needed to change. We addressed the team. We stayed positive the whole time. We tried to have good practices and compete.” The remaining seniors have stepped up. Pitcher Joe Persichini beat the Bulldogs. Senior ace SEE PLAY BALL, 82 Track-and field all-stars online Fourteen area athletes and two relays finished among the top eight to earn all-state honors at the track state finals.

First baseman Dan Vess, an all-Kensington Valley Conference player, is a feared hitter. Shortstop Jake Smith leads the team with an average above .370. No. 9 hitter Ryan McPhail contributed big RBIs last weekend. Sean O’Brien is a valuable pinch-hitter. “We don’t want to downplay what they’ve accomplished, but we don’t want to overstate it (either),’’ Hatton says. “We are not done yet.” ■ Hartland (31 -6 ) vs. Auburn Hills Avondale (24-9) 10 a.m. Saturday at Clarkston - Hartland coach Brian Morrison says chemistry and pitching has carried the Eagles to a program first, Kensington viley Conference and district titles in the same season. Seniors Zach Cooper (8-1 with two saves) and Drew Mixter (9-3 with two saves), along with seniors Ja son Potts and Phil Silva (both of whom also pitch), have been instrumental in the success. “It’s been a fun and easy team to coach,” Morrison says. ■ Ann Arbor Pioneer (21-13- 1) vs. Howell (26-5-1) noon Saturday at Grand Ledge - The Highlanders, who won their first KVC title in school history, continued their dream season with their third district title in four seasons. A first trip to the quarterfinals seems within reason considering the dominance of senior ace Cassie Dobson. Dobson and her four senior classmates - first baseman Hanna Bridisi, second baseman Stephanie Stewart, right fielder Callie White and Megan TVudeau (out all season with a knee injury) -have served as mentors to youngsters like sophomore third baseman Miranda Cleary, who leads the team in hitting; sophomore catcher Carly Lasagna and freshman outfielder Kaytlin Stoinski. In beating Okemos, 2-1, in 11 innings in the district semifinals, the Highlanders impressed coach Paul Bushong. “It has taken them almost the entire year to become a defense I can trust,” he says. ■ Fowlerville (25-13) vs. Alma (28-13) 10 a.m. Saturday at Lake Odessa Lakewood - By winning their first district title since at least 1991, the Gladiators have emerge from an injury-plagued season with a new sense of purpose. Senior Tearra Donovan (22-8), who missed multiple games with back problems, pitched a fiveinning perfect game against East Lansing in the district semifinals. “She has worked her butt off coming back,” Fowlerville coach Kathy De'Royer says. An earUer 11-2 win over Alma in the Diamond Classic doesn’t mean much, considering half the team was at prom. “We are not playing it (our regional appearance) up, so the yoimger girls just think it is another game,” De'Ihoyer says.

BIKE FROM B1 It's difficult to see clearly beyond 15 feet he bikes three times a week, traveling Livingston County scenic back roads and bike paths to as far away as Ann Arbor or Milford. Whenever Wassenberg goes on long rides, he has a partner to ensure his safety. His mom, Robin Roelofs, says her son struggles seeing clearly farther than 15 feet. “If he is on the roads, the faster roadways, he has somebody with him,” she says. “When he goes downtown (to Brighton), he normally handles it well (by himself) with a few devices.” Roelofs says her son uses a monocular to read road signs' when crossing the street, adding he rides on the sidewalk whenever he can. Wassenberg currently can’t drive, so he not only uses his bike to stay in shape but for transportation. He works at a local Big Boy Restaurant. “Even if I do drive (someday), I will keep a bike,” he says. “Right now, I rely on it to get me where I need to be.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

GRAND RIVER • HOWELL 5 1 7 -5 4 6 -2 2 5 0 DEEGAN FROM B1 Bulldogs were determined dominated Dexter in a scrimmage but were beaten handily by the Dreadnaughts in their game. St. Clair Shores Lakeview, a team the Bulldogs beat in the season opener, returned the favor by thumping the Bulldogs. Fortunately for Stone, the Bulldogs didn’t hang their heads. They continued to practice hard and stay hungry. Brighton entered the Division 2 playoffs as a sixth seed. Its three playoff games were blowouts against Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills, Dearborn and Northville. The Bulldogs celebrated their 21-5 victory over the Mustangs in the finals much like they did winning the Division I state championship two years ago. It soothed the pain of the last two regular seasons. Senior Blake Macek was MVP “For some reason, they did a 180 (degree turnaround),” Stone said. “They did everything right. They beat everyone up the last four games. “They were making mental mistakes. They stopped making them. It wasn’t like we didn’t have the conditioning or the ability. They just started attacking. The boys just decided, intemily, they wanted it.” Brighton assistant coach Bill Boucher said the title “rates real well” with the program’s other ones. “Last year our record was 2-6, so to taice the state title in Division 2 is a real good ac- | complishment,” he said. * With a ‘B’ team that lost in the Division 4 championship game to Howell in overtime, the Bulldogs return their share of talent for next year. “We’ve got a big sophomore class,” Stone said. “I hope 4 we are back to where we were.

In the distance is Melanie Bresett who is assisting with a line. The Bresetts have crewed fora number of pilots over the last 21 years during the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell."We got into it because we love it," Gabi Bresett says. Handy family never misses a Balloonfest P i lo t s a r e h a p p y t o h a v e s e a s o n e d c r e w f r o m C o n w a y T w p . BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News H owell’s Michigan Challenge Balloonfest is about more than just a group of hot air balloon pilots coming to town for a show. It’s about a family reunion of sorts, especially for the longtime players like Ray and Gabi Bresett of Conway Township. The Bresetts have crewed for more pilots than they can count over the last 21 years. They keep gloves in their car “just in case” they need to lend a hand and have even introduced their children Stephan, 19, and Melanie, 16, to the sport. “We got into it because we love it,” says Gabi, focusing on the relationships formed between pilots and their crews. “We don’t just call each other for Balloonfest. We’ve shared wedding showers, baby showers ... Our kids have all grown up together.” Melanie, a junior at Fowlerville High School, celebrates her birthday every year during Balloonfest with her family, more than 100 people strong by the time you count the pilots, the crew and their families. “We always have a cake there and it’s got to be big enough for everyone,” she says. Her present? A chance to fly in one of the balloons, of course. While most people are lucky to be invited to From left, Melanie Bresett, her father, Ray, and her mother, Gabi, pack Chuck and Cindy Walz's balloon envelope into a storage bag following a recent flight. fly once in their lifetime, Melanie has been flying in hot air balloons since she was 5. She says she never gets tired of it. One day, she’d like to learn how to pilot her own balloon, but that will have to wait until after college. “I want to buy a balloon first,” she says. Stephan, who attended his first Balloonfest in a bouncy seat at 10 months old, also has been fortunate enough to fly many times, with many pilots. Yet, he prefers to stay on the ground to help pilots land s^ely. “I actually like to ride the hop,” he says, referring to the bounce that hot air balloon baskets can make when they hit the ground. Fast landings can cause baskets to jump in the air several feet before landing a second time. Crew members grab onto the basket in an attempt to guide it down safely, but can dangle from the basket for several minutes after a hop. A bit of a daredevil, Stephan says his most memorable crew experience happened a few years back. He was holding the crown line (at the top of the balloon’s envelope) while talMng with some people in the crowd at Balloonfest. The pilot was calling out to him to let go, but he didn’t hear. “I was busy talking and the pilot hit the burner (fire that inflates the balloon’s envelope) and pulled me up in the air four or five feet.” The pilot landed the basket so Stephan could let go, but not before making a point. “(Now), I keep an eye on the pilot,” he says. “There is nothing more beautiful than flying a balloon, but it also can be very dangerous,” Gabi says.

But the 2008-09 budget the school board is expected to approve Thursday is still about $327,000 short of the mark. The board meets at 6:30 p.m. in the Pathfinder School media center, 2100 E. M-36 in Hamburg Township. “We still need to find this or spend it from our fund equity,” said Superintendent Dan Danosky. “If we take it from fund equity, that leaves us less than $500,000 in savings, and that won’t get us very far.” The district must approve next year’s budget by July 1. By law, it must be balanced by June 30,2009. “We need to find ways throughout the year to trim that remaining number down,” Danosky said. “There have been so many cuts. Everybody is hurting. We just don’t have any other recommendations at this time.” The Pinckney district is IN S ID E ■ Fowlerville school board likely to vote M o n d a y on closing Munn Middle School, A3. ■ Kim Shumaker will resign from Howell school board, A3. ■ A total of 21 have applied for the superintendent's post in Howell, A3. ■ Brighton aims to cut $3.3 million from school budget, A3. using about $1 milUon from fund equity to balance this year’s budget. Officials had originally predicted they would need to use about $800,000, but higher-than-anticipated increases in diesel fuel, electricity and natural gas required more funds. Higher fuel and utility costs also are figuring into next year’s budget as is the district’s prediction that its enrollment will decline by 100 students, resulting in a loss of about $735,000 in state revenue.

With gold at near-record prices, many area residents are selling their seldom-used gold items for cash. “It helps a lot of people in this economy to take broken or damaged gold and turn it into cash,” says Mike Myers of Robert Miller Fine Jewelry in Genoa Township. The price escalation began in November 2007, when it hit $840 per ounce (compared to a high of $725 in 2006). It’s now in the $870 range, but the price went above $1,000 an ounce in mid-March before dropping back, and some financial experts are predicting it will rise again and top $1,250 before year’s end. “Back as recently as two years ago.

The teachers have worked this year under the terms of a contract that expired last summer, and representatives fi’om the Pinckney Education Association teachers’ union have said a current contract proposal from the board offers unacceptable salary and health benefits. Specific figures have not been released and negotiations are continuing. Pinckney cannot afford to extend the expired contract into the next school year because it would result in a 34 percent increase in health care costs, said Superintendent Dan Danosl^'; A 7 percent increase in health care insurance is figured into the district’s 2008-09 budget.

B1 A2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 2003 United Way forced to cut funding for some S c o u t s , H e m o p h i l i a F o u n d a t i o n d r o p p e d e n t i r e l y ; o t h e r g r o u p s j u s t g e t l e s s BY LISA CAROLIN A ND RICK FITZGERALD The Livingston Coromunity News The Livingston County United Way will refocus its funding more on programs that meet the basic needs of residents - food, housing and transportation - while allocating about $213,000 less to partner agencies this year. Nancy Rosso, executive director of the Livingston County United Way, said the cuts in allocations to 22 agencies became necessary when the annual fundraising drive fell nearly $200,000 short of the previous year’s total. She said the agency raised $1.4 million this year, down from $1.57 million the previous year. The United Way gained about 800 new donors, but lost an equal number, largely because of Livingston County residents who lost jobs in the auto industry and at Pfizer Inc. in Ann Arbor. Three agencies that got funding last year - the Boy Scouts ($25,000), the Girl Scouts ($40,000) and the Hemophilia Foundation ($7,000) - will get no funding this year. Rosso said those agencies could still apply for United Way grants for specific needs. Gail Scott, head of the Girl Scouts of the Huron Valley Council, says she has never seen funding so hard to come by in the 32 years she has been with the Girl Scouts. “I understand that the Livingston County United Way doesn’t have the money, but we are a youth-serving agency doing something important,” says Scott. ‘‘We have had to eliminate our Head Start program, which was so kids didn’t lose the gains they made over the summer. We need to strategize about what our next step will be. God bless Girl Scout cookies, but even our cookie sales were down this year.” Overall, allocations to partner agencies will total $766,720 this year compared with $979,664 last year. In addition, the United Way will spend an additional $213,000 on specific United Way community program an initiatives - things like the 211 help line, the Livingston County Health Plan and Volunteer Livingston. Some agency officials said the cuts will hurt, but they were not surprised by them. “We realize that the United Way would prefer that things were different,” says Davis- Schoech, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Livingston County. The agency lost $10,000 in United Way funding compared to last year, down from $88,200 to $78,200. “That kind of financial cut means that we have to cut some programs like the bridges program in the Hartland school district, in which middle schoolers are mentored by high schoolers,” Davis-Schoech says. Diane Mosey, executive director of St. George Special Ministries, says she expected a decrease in funding. She says she is “grateful and blessed it was not a bigger decrease.” Rosso said the cuts in allocations were not across-the-board cuts to all agencies. Instead, she said the 100 volunteers involved in evaluating agency programs for funding used a “filtering” approach to match funding through various agencies with programs that more closely matched the priority areas. She said about 24 percent of total funding will go to meet basic needs. Only two agencies will get more this year: the Salvation Army, which will get $75,000, up fi’om $65,502 last year; and the Howell Recreation Authority, which will get $19,650, up from $13,880. Rosso said those agencies got more because of specific programs - the senior center and teen center run by the recreation authority and the growing number of families in crisis served by the Salvation Army. United Way board president Piet Lindhout said this was the “first serious cut in funding” for partner agencies because donations had remained stable from 2002 through last year. Even with the drop in donations this year, Lindhout said Livingston County was “doing better than many of our peers.” Lindhout i s o said the United Way board had recently voted to end its traditional “blackout” period during the fall fundraising campaign when partner agencies were forbidden to do their own fundraising. Howell Twp. commission to address Burkhart site parking I s s u e s r a i s e d b y C a s t a w a y C a f e a n d b u s i n e s s n e i g h b o r BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News Howell Township planning commissioners will review a site plan on Ifresday that could be the first step in resolving a long-standing parking dispute that has plagued customers of a popular children’s play area and an adjacent antique business. At peak times, customers at the Castaway (iafe, 1800 N. Burkhart Road, overflow the business’s parking lot. Owners of the business and owners of the building have been in a dispute about parking for at least the past year. Posted signs describe the tenant’s position: They need more parking and have offered to pay up to $12,000 for the lot, but the building’s owner refuses to accommodate them. The sign encourages customers to contact the building owner with complaints. A neighboming business has also weighed in: A sandwich board sign at the lot entrance of the Livingston Antique Outlet Mall across the street, asks Castaway Cafe customers to avoid parking there. Castaway Cafe is owned by two couples, Jim and Kathy Niles and David and TVacey Grant. They say completion of the building was delayed by nine months and at that time, in June 2006, the owner promised to provide additional parking. The overflow lot was never added, or put into a contract, resulting in too few parking spots for the business, particularly on some Saturdays when up to 20 birthday pcirties are scheduled. People come in angry that there is nowhere to park and begin yelling at the staff, said David Grant, “so we put the signs up so that they could yell at someone who is responsible.” Building owner Rick Jackson said he has received “a few” calls from Castaway customers, “some just asking questions and some irate,” but he tells a different story. “I would be glad to provide parking if they would reimburse me for what they owe,” Jackson countered. He contends the tenants owe him unpaid rent and reimbursement for previous building improvements. “I’m not going to spend money on something Got expansion) that they might not pay me for, again,” he said. He agrees that the tenants, who have a sevenyear contract, were entitled to some free rent due to the delayed opening of the business. but not the 18 months that they claim. He said he also made other building changes that he’s never been paid for. The Grants counter with their own list of complaints, including substandard construction work that led to a leaking roof and inadequate floors. Last month, Jackson submitted a lot expansion site plan request for township review so that work to the building’s east side may begin once the two sides settie their money issues. “I’m going to get the plan approved, but it doesn’t mean we’re going to expand,” he said. He estimates his_ plan would double the parking lot. The parking situation was brought to the attention of township officials by area residents and other business owners, said Howell Township Clerk Carolyn Eaton. The fire marshal was sent out to inspect several times, which resulted in tickets for parking in fire lanes. The township’s attorney has since notified both parties that the parking “nuisance” needs to be feed or the business will be shut down. With 16,000 square feet of commercial rental space still available on the building’s other side, finding a parking spot may become harder.

Brighton Summerfest comes to an end; merchants plan Sidewalk Sales in July N e w e v e n t w i l l i n c l u d e l i v e b a n d s a n d p e r f o r m e r s to Summerfest, which Sidewalk Sales were part of,” says Mark Binkley of Cooper & Binkley Jewelers and a member of the PSD board and the merchants BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News There will be no Summerfest in Brighton this year, but organizers say its replacement will be just as eventful and entertaining. Rick Starnes, outgoing president of the Brighton Principal Shopping District, which sponsored the event in 2007, says the group’s directors voted against sponsoring it a second time. In its place, the Brighton Downtown Merchants Association will sponsor Sidewalk Sales on July 25-26, which is a bit of a throv^ack. “Sidewalk Sales morphed ingroup. “We’re going to call it Sidewalk Sales-Mardi Gras,” says coordinator Jeff Kelly of the Great Harvest Bread Co. Kelly says three live bands are scheduled, there will be food vendors on Main Street and performers will roam the downtown area. “We want people spilling out onto the streets,” he said. West Main Street will be closed to vehicles. Binkley said the PSD took over Summerfest on a oneyear basis because there was no one else to do it. He says after longtime organizer Pat Steele of Margret Hunters retired a few months before the event, it left a vacuum that the PSD decided to fill to keep the event going. “The PSD was established to have marketing in the downtown area and was not designed to (organize) events,” Binkley says. Starnes says -the decision was not related to an incident last year in which a 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by an employee of the carnival company hired to provide rides at Summerfest. The incident occurred in another location off site, after Summerfest had ended for the night. The city closed down the carnival the next day. The girl’s attacker was sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison in December after pleadfog guilty to charges of thinl-degree criminal sexual conduct and furnishing alcohol IN B R IE F Fowlerville More kindergarten classes to go all-day Fowlerville Community Schools will expand its allday, four-day-a-week kindergarten to four classrooms at Smith Elementary School in 2008-09. One-hundred students will be chosen by lottery to participate in the expanded kindergarten from among parents who want the four-day option. The district ran a pilot fourday program with 48 students this year to high acclaim. Smith Principal Jim Kitchen said 78 percent of kindergarten parents prefer the four-day option. “About 160 to 170 parents want four-day, so we should need about three more fourday sections to fill the need,” he said, meaning three sections in addition to the two in the pilot program and the two additional to be added in September. The district plans to add more four-day sections when it is economically feasible. The board agreed to add sections despite financial difficulties because it feared losing students to districts that provide the full-day option. Council OKs hike in will benefit the program. “Brain injuries are a national ' epidemic, occurring in thousands of our servicemen and women each year,” said Rick Briggs, veterans program manager for the association. “Panera Bread’s recognition of the importance of brain injuries affecting our troops is greatly appreciated.” Livingston County Girl Scout camps s till have room The Girl Scouts of the Huron Valley still have space available in day camp or overnight camp for girls ages 5 to 17 at Camp Linden in northern Livingston County.

Shumaker said she was sorry she had to leave at a time when the school district is on the cusp of a “great future,” with a new board and a new leader. “I’d like to work with the new superintendent and keep moving forward,” she said. Shumaker had told the board before being appointed last October that her husband, who works for Delphi Automotive, might be transferred. Pratt said Shumaker was upfront with the board, stating again in May that her husband’s company was offering transfer packages and she might have to move. “She warned us the home was going to go on the market,” Pratt said. Shumaker said four objectives had to be met before she was willing to consider a move: Preserving family time for her husband, reducing his three-hour daily commute, selling their home and being able to move before the start of sdiool in the fall. She decided if the home had not sold by August, her family would remain, and she would run for a full term in the November election. Shumaker said she was shocked when her Marion Township home sold to the first person who looked at it. “We prayed before we put the house on Uie market, and we are convinced this is the direction God has in store for us,” said Shumaker. She could not give an exact date when her resignation will become effective, but promised she would stay on the board at least until a new superintendent is hired. Shumaker was appointed during a year of major turnover on the board which saw four new members appointed to fill vacancies resulting from resignations: Michael Yenshaw, Shumaker and Daniel Fondriest - the newest member - who was named in December. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009. Kim Shumaker, a recently appointed Howell school trustee, said she will resign her post as her family plans to move out of the district. She said she will stay until a new superintendent is in place.

BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News 'Twenty-one candidates have applied for the soonto- be-vacant Howell Public Schools superintendent’s position. Monday at 4 p.m. was the deadline for applying. T he district is looking to replace outgoing Howell Superintendent Chuck Breiner, who reached a severance agreement with the board in March. He remains on administrative leave until his contract expires June 30. “They are a very exceptional, enthusiastic field,” said Deputy Superintendent Lynn Parrish of the candidates. “The fact that you drew higher than 20 was absolutely astounding; many (districts) never get anywhere near that,” she told the Howell school board, which was informed at the board meeting this week. “I knew the numbers were getting up there,” Board President Phil Westmoreland said. He expressed mild surprise at the education level and administrative experience of many of the candidates. “It seems like a lot of very qualified, very educated people applied,” said Westmoreland, reacting to the 12 applicants with doctorates and 10 who are current superintendents. “The fact that 10 are sitting superintendents says a lot. I am a little surprised at the (seven) out-of-state people,” he said, adding some may be former Michigan residents who would like to come home. One applicant is a former superintendent, two are assistant superintendents and four more have administrative positions. Terre Davis of TD & Associates, the consulting firm hired by the district, said there would have been even more applicants if the real estate market wasn’t in such poor shape. “At least a half dozen people called me saying, ‘Terre, I can’t take the risk of having two mortgages.’ I’m not surprised (at the quality of the candidates) because Howell is a great school district,” she said. The board is offering the next superintendent a base salary of $140,000. Among the qualities the board is seeking are strong financial and communication skills, good public relations abilities and experience in labor relations. Between now and Wednesday, board members will individually review each of the candidates and their credentials. The board will meet Wednesday to narrow the field of candidates and hopes to have a new superintendent selected by July 1.

Board likely to vote on Munn closure F o w l e r v i l l e s c h o o l s u p e r i n t e n d e n t l o o k s t o c l o s e $ 1 . 1 m i l l i o n f u n d i n g g a p BY L IN DA THEIL News Special Writer The Fowlerville school board is expected to vote Tuesday on a proposal to close Munn Middle School to save half of a $1.1 million budget deficit projected for the 2008-09 school year. Superintendent Ed Alverson proposed closing Munn because, he said, declining enrollment and uncertain state funding make him pessimistic about the potential for anything but continued hardship for the district. From September through April, enrollment in Fowlerville Community Schools declined from 3,161 students to 3,087. A drop of 74 students represents a $473,000 loss in state aid to the district. “The major reason why we looked at consolidation is if our enrollment continues going down,” Alverson said. “My concern is, will the migration from Michigan trickle out this summer and we’ll be down students in the fall.” Alverson rolled out his proposal last week to an audience of more than 100 parents and district employees, who responded with support for the administration. If Munn is closed, the new building configuration will be Smith for kindergarten through second grade, Kreeger for grades three through five, the junior high for grades six through eight and the high school, unchanged, for grades nine through 12. Munn will be used for an expanded Little Glad Center preschool program, which is self-sustaining, and parts might be rented to other education programs, such as the Livingston Educational Services Agency and Head Start. Munn Principal Larry Cowger would transfer to the junior high to serve as co-principal with Tom Tanner, who plans to retire in 2009. The district anticipates a savings of $500,000 to $580,000, including the cost of a media specialist, special education instructor, two administrative assistants, two custodial positions, lunch supervisors, special teachers, a half-time band instructor and a half-time counselor as well utilities and transportation. This week, about 50 people attended the board meeting and several made special pleas for consideration of the damage they said will be done to the art and band programs available to the middle-school students if Munn is closed. Nikki Mather, Smith Elementary’s Parent Teacher Council president, made an impassioned plea for Smith’s physical education teacher, Lloyd McPartlin, known as Mr. Mac, who may lose his position at Smith if Munn is closed. “Due to seniority, he will be bumped from Smith by the Munn PE teacher,” Mather said. Mather said Smith Principal Jim Kitchen and McPartlin are a team that give Smith a spirit of fun. “Since Mr. Kitchen is the big cheese, we call them Mac ‘n’ Cheese,” Mather said. “We have 570 kids who adore him and who will be heartbroken if they lose him.” Alverson assured Mather that McPartlin would continue to be employed by the district if Munn closes. None of the speakers said they doubted the necessity for stringent cost-cutting, but all lamented over the results and made pleas for alternative savings. The board will decide on the reconfiguration next week and will vote June 24 on the 2008-09 budget, which must be adopted by the end of June.

After getting input this week from a citizens task force and school board members, he now faces the daunting task of cutting $3.3 million from a proposed 2008-09 budget that must be approved by June 30. ■The board met in a special session this week to discuss how to proceed on cutting the budget and agreed that board members would review a copy of cuts put together by a task force, and from that list make their own lists of items they would propose to cut. Their lists were scheduled to be given to Craig on Wednesday. He will come back to the board with savings projections on those suggestions for discussion and potential implementation. The task force suggested a wide range of items that could be cut ranging from eliminating elementary and middle school busing, combining principal positions to cutting middle school sports programs and across-theboard wage reductions. Trustee Joyce Powers made it clear what won’t be on her list of cuts: “1 won’t be putting busing or athletics on my list of things to cut. Those are two things this community expects.” Craig suggested putting markers in the 2008-09 budget to bring balance to it, and said the markers could then be reviewed by the board through the upcoming school year as the financial situation becomes clearer. Craig told the board that this is the sixth consecutive year the district is spending more than it is taking in, and that there will be no fund balance to cover any deficit in the 2008-09 school year. He said decreased enrollment and increased utility costs as well as the increased cost of diesel fuel for school buses have all compounded the budget challenges. “We will need to find a combination of revenue, and expenditure reductions and restructuring,” Craig said, adding that he did not expect there to be any additional state funding. After proposed cuts are approved, a proposed budget will be put together to be approved by the time of the board’s June 30 meeting. The board’s next meeting is Monday, June 16 at 7 p.m. in the board room of the Brighton Education and Community Center, 125 Church St. More on the task force report can be found by going to the Brighton Area Schools Web site at bas.kl2.mi.us.

Jewelry stores, coin dealers and home gold parties have become quite popular as a means for people to dispose of unwanted gold items and obtain hard cash in return. One of them is Ruth DeWitt of Howell, who recently attended her first gold party. DeWitt says she sold items like “damaged things, such as earrings with a clasp broken or with a missing earring, a broken gold chain,” and jewelry that came from the estate of relatives. “I’m a stay-at-home mom, and I find I don’t use as much (jeweliy) as I used to,” DeWitt explains as her reason for selling her old gold. The $525 made from the sale of the estate jewelry went back into the estate account, while most of the $300 DeWitt made from the sale of her own jewelry went toward her husband’s “weekend golf trip.” Prices for gold vary greatly, depending on the weight of the item, whether 22, 18, 14 or 10- carat gold, and other factors. Parsons says there is no “typical” necklace, ring or other item that comes in, since jewelry styles and values vary as much as the people who wear them. However, to give an example. Parsons says a woman came in recently with a “broken, heavy chain” and he gave her $132 for it, based on the amount of gold in it and the prevailing gold price that day. But people often get more. “I’ve had women come in with a whole jewelry box,” he says. “I gave one woman $860, and some get much more than that.” Stores, and those who arrange home gold parties, must follow certain rules, such as holding the product for nine days before sending it to the smelter. 'They also are required to fill out a record of transaction for each gold purchase. Stores are required to fingerprint the seller, record the name, address and phone number and forward it to the police department in the seller’s home community That way, if the name appears on a large number of gold transactions in a short period of time, police know the gold may have been stolen. But Myers says people who run home gold parties are doing it illegally. “They have to obtain a license, which is only good at that address,” he says. “The proper way to (sell gold) is through a reputable jeweler, because we’re licensed.” Because of the vagaries of the market. Dean Rottermond, owner of Rottermond Jewelers in Brighton and Milford, says he is taking a risk by quoting a price to a customer for gold. “If it drops (in value), we take a loss,” he says. Parsons says a lot of people who come in are “fishing,” to see where they can get the best price. “The majority come back,” Parsons says. Rottermond says he was the first jewelry store in the metro Detroit area to advertise that he buys gold (he also buys silver, platinum and dental gold), and his billboards are a familiar site on 1-96 east of Brighton.

BALLOON FAMILY FROM A1 Pilots happy to have help from a crew so seasoned Shawn Raya, 35, flies the Fhst and Ririous balloon and is often helped by the Bresetts. When John Raya, the former pilot for the Pather-and-Son balloon, decided to give up flying, Shawn Raya got his dad’s balloon and the Bresett crew. “I was 10 years old when my father started flying, so I’ve grown up with them,” said the younger Raya. “They’re great people and a very valuable part of my team.” He appreciates the fact that the Bresett family has crewed so long, he doesn’t have to worry about keeping them out of harm’s way. “'liiey can anticipate what the balloon is going to do and that takes the pressure off me,” he says.

The district has closed Hamburg Elementary School, which will save about $350,000. It has reached an agreement with its 27 buildings and grounds employees on pay, benefits and job procedures that will save about $400,000 without privatizing the work. Other cuts the board likely will approve next week and their potential savings include: ■ Closing Village Education Center - $176,000. Preschool and latchkey programs will be moved to the elementary schools and building principals will supervise. Preschool programs at Village would move to Lakeland, Country and Farley Hill elementary schools. ■ Laying off Athletic Director John Rehbine - $100,000. Community Education Director Tedd Bradley would assume job responsibilities. ■ Reduction of four teaching jobs due to enrollment decline - $262,352. Jobs likely would be eliminated through attrition, not layoffs. If layoffs are needed, they probably would effect part-time employees, Danosky said. ■ Eliminate door-to-door bus service - $83,500. ■ Cutting one elementary bus run, due to closing of Hamburg Elementary, and eliminating four kindergarten bus runs, due to all-day kindergarten being offered at all elementary schools - $41,500. ■ Not filling one full-time central office support job and sharing another halftime with the Livingston Educational Service Agency - $107,000. ■ Closing one pool - $90,000. ■ Reducing central office administration - $80,000. ■ Reducing hours for building secretaries, library clerks and aides - $56,000. ■ Privatizing other employee groups, such as nonstaff coaches - $20,000.

STUDENT FROM At Salutatorian gives credit to academy for his math skills - much like other students who choose to come to Kensington Woods. “They’re just very tolerant of who the individual is,” Perry said. “I think students like Jacob ju st feel like they can be themselves here.” Kensington Woods is a public charter high school that has about 160 students enrolled in a day high school program and another 110 who attend the school at night. Perry called Stephen “a good student, extremely dependable” and said his student skills are exceptional. “He pays a lot of attention to detail and doesn’t have to do a lot of revisions,” he added. Math teacher Shawn Pollman has had Stephen in class for three years. “He’s completely delightful, he’s always very positive,” she said. She tells of when a part of her class attended a field trip and she noted that the “class was half empty.” “He said, ‘No, the class is half full,”’ she said. “That’s J a cob. He’s always got a smile on his face.” Stephen grew up with his parents, Julie and Philip, two brothers and a sister on an acreage at the family home in Putnam Township. They moved to the Pinckney area just after he was born and have raised chickens, turkeys and pheasants, grown fruit trees and even had goats for a while. His mother, Julie Stephen, said her son loves the outdoors - but also has a love of fast rides and going to amusement parks like Cedar Pointe. She said her middle son gets along well with his siblings and has always been a self-directed student. “I tell him you can do whatever you want and be whatever you want,” she said. “But he’s good. I’m in no hurry for him to grow up.” Jacob Stephen attended the Charyl Stockwell Academy in Hartland Township starting in the second grade, which he credits with his Jacob Stephen ■ Age; 17. ■ Home: Putnam Township. ■ Family: Parents Philip and Julie Stephen; older brother, Ryan, who graduated from Kensington Woods last year; sister, Anna, who attends Kensington Woods; and brother, Paul, who is at Charyl Stockwell Academy. ■ Hobbies: Games, computers, spending time outdoors. ■ Favorite movie: "Pirates of the Caribbean." "I thought the first one was the best," he says. ■ Goals: He plans to study information technology at Cleary University, where he has been dually enrolled while in high school. He says he will likely do something in that field as a career, possibly in graphic design or digital media. "I just want to have a fun time - and enjoy my job. I want to live life to the fullest," he says. math proficiency. “That’s how I got ahead in math,” he said. “They let you work ahead. You can move ahead as you finish (a unit).” He tied (with older brother Ryan) in first place in the American Math Contest last year, won second place in the American Math Contest this year and first place in the regional competition for the robotics team, of which he was a member for three years and which taught him the power of teamwork. He also was a member of the school chess club. Casey Hans can be reached at chans® livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2005.

It’s located at the Warren R. and Lauraine A. Hoensheid Cancer Center next to the Woodland Health Center in Genoa Township. Whether you’re a cancer patient, the family member of a patient, or someone interested in learning more about cancer or getting answers to questions about insurance or finances, the resource center has volunteers available during weekdays to help answer questions. “The American Cancer Society has so much information available,” says volunteer Linda D’Antonio from Brighton Township. “I’m a two-time cancer survivor, and it wasn’t until I started volunteering that I saw all that’s available.” “St. Joe’s is working with the American Cancer Society to offer support to patients, survivors, people at any Added resources ■ What: Cancer Resource Center. ■ Where: Near the main entrance of the Warren R. and Lauraine A.

The resource center has brochures and booklets about the medical and financial challenges of cancer. Volunteers have access to a variety of helpful Web sites, and also offer materials such as a personal management folder, which helps people organize treatment plans, test results, and medication information. The cancer resource center opened May 27, and the grand opening was June 2. Dr. Ros Stuber, a retired surgeon from Howell, donated funds to create the resource center. Lauren Stokes, St. Joe’s spokeswoman, says, “The new resource center promises to be a great addition to the full complement of services already offered at the Cancer Center.” She says patients at the cancer center are receiving state-of-the art care and have access to clinical trials and that plans for the second floor of the cancer center are still being determined.

Eberspaecher, which opened its plant on Orndorf Drive in Brighton’s Paramount Industrial Park in 2003, makes catalytic converters for foreign and domestic automakers. Dennis Berry, the company’s chief executive officer, said in a letter to City Manager Dana Foster that ENA would need a brownfield plan resolution by the city’s Brownfield Redevelopment Authority Board and the City Council which, if approved by the Michigan Economic Development Corp., would enable the company to obtain state of Michigan business tax credits. That, coupled with a requested 12-year property tax abatement from the city, “will facilitate this investment,” Berry said in the letter. Foster said testing done at the site, which abuts the existing plant, shows “trace levels of metals” that qualify it as a Brownfield site but would not require cleanup. In 2006 Eberspaecher expanded its Brighton operation, building a 55,000-squarefoot addition to manufacture mufflers and bent tubes. That brought the total work force to about 200. If given final approval by the state, the latest proposal would result in a total work force of more than 270, an increase of 70 full-time jobs. Berry wrote to Foster. Eberspaecher is considering converting the Brighton plant into a facility with technology enabling it to produce low-emission catalytic converters and related items to meet the coming stringent air qualify standards for large trucks, Foster said. Berry said there would be a “short drop in employment” at the Brighton facility “during the retooling process.” The start of production of the new large truck exhaust systems is expected in January 2 0 1 0 . “This is great news, we’re excited about it,” Brighton Mayor Kate Lawrence said. Strict new emission requirements are scheduled to go into effect over the next several years in the U.S., and Berry has said ENA has the capability of supporting new product development at several North American truck, construction and agricultural manufacturers. The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority Board will meet June 17 to consider a resolution setting the wheels in motion for the planned plant expansion and retooling, and City Council will hear the full proposal two days later, Foster said. Council will have a public hearing at its July 17 meeting, and if the plan is approved it will go to the state MEDC for approval in August.

So, in the next few months, the township will give online access to spending reports, budget information, the township check register, and officials’ salary figures. The idea came from trustee Tom Murphy, who is running for township supervisor, and the board approved it June 2. “It will put us in the forefront of making government financial information available to taxpayers,” says current Supervisor H.E. “Bud” Prine. “We challenge other units of government to follow our lead from the state, to the county, both ours and elsewhere, the schools, cities, villages and townships.” Jennifer Hoff, spokeswoman for the Michigan Townships Association, says her organization “supports townships across the state that are willing to go above and beyond what is required by statute to provide transparency in government. The more transparent a local government is, the more likely citizens will become involved and will become aware of what’s happening, and support for local government will grow.” Lana Theis, who heads the recently formed Livingston County chapter of Americans for Prosperity, and is running for Brighton Township treasurer, wants transparency in government to be available countywide. “It is our intent to encourage transparency at all taxpayer- funded entities including local, city, county and state governments as well as schools,” says Theis. “It is the resident’s money. They have a right to know where it is spent in an easily available format. “The Freedom of Information Act process was the best it could be at the time it was implemented, but in the Internet age it doesn’t make sense to require an individual to travel to the local government entity, submit a form, wait up to five business days, only to have to travel back to pick up their information. Transparency saves time, money and resources for the governmental entity and for the resident as well.” Theis says she has been in discussions with trustees from Genoa, Hartland and Marion townships as well as from Livingston County about the topic. The goal of Americans for Prosperity is to use online government information to educate citizens about economic policy and encourage them to make change.

To get to the other side, of course. But why are there so many turtles crossing roads this time of year? To get to higher, drier ground that is better for nesting and laying eggs. And that’s why Sheila Czomij caUed last week with a plea for motorists to be on the lookout for these slow-moving creatures. She wants all of us to be vigilant as we drive past ponds and wetlands this time of the year to make sure we aren’t inadvertently killing off ^ the small reptiles who are doing the best they can to adapt hot stretches of asphalt we humans have put in their paths. Czomij, who lives just outside the city of Brighton in a neighborhood off Challis I Road, said she had passed a " turtle the other day that was flipped on its back and struggling to get righted as cars whizzed past. She pulled into a nearby driveway and went back with the stick and gloves she always keeps in her truck. She flipped the little guy over and ushered him to the side of the road and out of danger. She’s been so concerned about the plight of the turtles that in years past she has posted “turtle crossing” signs in the area of the Brighton post office and St. Patrick Catholic School along Omdorf Drive. “We need to be aware of our I natural surroundings,” she said. Dick Grant, director of the Howell Conference and Nature Center in Marion Tovmship, couldn’t agree more. The nature center south of Howell . takes in 30-50 turtles a year F that have been injured. Many have cracked shells, which often can be repaired with Super Glue or fiberglass. He said it’s great that some people are willing to stop and help a turtle get off the roadway, but he said people often make a mistake by returning the turtle to the wetland or pond without taking note of which direction the turtle was heading. At this time of year. Grant says turtles are heading out of the swamp and looking for a dry spot where they can dig a nest and lay eggs. Once that task is done, the turtles will head back to swamp. The k best way to help the turtle is to move it to the side of the road in the direction it’s headed. If you take the turtle back where it started, it will just start heading right back across the road again. Grant also urges budding ^ environmentalists to be especially careful when dealing with a snapping turtle. Snappers, Grant explained, are larger txulles with a shell that looks like “a coat of armor.” They bite and don’t like to be messed with. The more common painted turtles are smaller and get their name fi’om the red spots on the underside of the body. They are more likely to pull themselves into their shells and go along for the ride. Within a day of Czornij’s call, sure enough, I passed a turtle completing its trek across the roadway as I was headed home. Then, while . on a walk at Kensington Mer tropark over the weekend, there was a flattened painted turtle along the side of the road. It was right next to a pond, so you can pretty much guess what the turtle was trying to do. I There are lots of things ^ to look for as a motorist and wildlife is one of them. Let’s be careful out there.

On its roof, two words are painted in large white letters: “Save Barns.” A phone number is painted below T' the message. Call the number - and hundreds already have - and you get a message from David Ciolek, a nationally known barn preservationist, assuring that he will contact you as soon as possible. “We’re hoping to preserve this barn,” says Ciolek, who has restored some 800 barns in several states, some of them under the auspices of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The barn, which is probably 60-70 years old, was built to store hay and house dairy cattle. Located in Handy Township on property now belonging to Lyle Ingram, it needs extensive repair and Ingram can’t single-handedly afford the work, which could reach six figures. Ciolek, who moved recently to New York after a long residence in Williamston, is assisting Ingram in her search for corporate and individual sponsorship of the project. In return for financial assistance, sponsors can receive very visible advertising on the side of the refurbished barn. Recent legislation allows advertising on the sides of barns again, Ciolek said.

The tour will be June 21- 29 at 19 home sites featuring 17 builders - with seven of the homes at Hidden Lake, a 6-year-old development that features custom homes, wetlands, walking paths and gardens and a 110-acre, allsports lake. Hidden Lake developer Earl LaFave said the hub site will be at the development’s community center on the south end of the lake and will have information about the Showcase builders as well as refreshments. Those visiting all of the Hidden Lake homes will get a special ticket to be part of a drawing for a plasma television on the final day of the tour. “We couldn’t ask for a better time to showcase Hidden Lake,” LaFave said. “Kids are out of school, families are water-skiing and using the lake. We believe the place will be shown very well.” He noted that the development, just east of US-23, is only a 12- 13-minute drive into downtown Ann Arbor and also convenient to places such as Novi and area airports. “We SEE TOUR,A8 A little girl's dream, this "princess room" is part of the DreamWork Builders model home at Hidden Lake Estates in Green Oak Township.

JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISEUA THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS A8 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 2008 BARNS FROM A7 Barn still structurally sound, expert says services were won by Ingram in a televised charity auction, will supervise and participate in the restoration, which actually began about three weeks ago, with the trimming of several overhanging trees. “This is a fine example of a Monsour truss gambrel roof barn,” Ciolek said, re ferring to its construction, which uses tall trusses that begin near the floor to achieve a soaring, unobstructed interior space, free of cross-members. The style became ubiquitous in the Midwest and prairie states during the heyday of the family farm. “This type of roof is the reason these barns got nicknamed ‘cathedrals of the prairie,’” he said. The cavernous interiors make this stvle of barn perfect for grain storage, he added. While it may have re sembled a cathedral when it was new, the barn has lost much of its sacred a spect in the years since its construction in the 1930s or ’40s, Ciolek said. The roof has deteriorated to the point that, in some places, the sky is visible and birds can be seen flying by. Holes in the roof mean water gets inside, causing more damage. Some of the floor is rotted, or missing. The roof needs complete replacement and the floor needs repair, he said. The barn is slightly outof- square, too, ra the r like a car with a bent frame after a crash making them appear to be moving sideways. It must be straightened, using steel cables, Ciolek said. Deteriorated siding must be repaired, as well. After all the repairs are finished, the barn will receive a new coat of paint. Still, it’s structurally sound and well worth re storing, he said. “All barns should be re stored,” he said. “It saves natural resources and money and it’s ‘green.’ These old structures, when restored, are extremely energy-efficient.” Gambrel-roof barns can save as much as 30 percent of the crop, compared with outside storage in plas- Save the barn If you are interested in preserving heritage barns, several organizations offer reliable information; ■ The Barn Again!

Ingram, who moved into the farmhouse on the property just a few years ago, said she bought the parcel partly because of the barn and would like to see it re stored to its original appearance and utility. “I just like the barn,” she said. “I’ve seen other barns in the area disintegrate and fall down and I think th a t’s a shame.” In fact, barns are disappearing - in Livingston County, in Michigan and throughout the nation - at a dizzying clip. Even rural counties have only a quarte r the number of barns they had ju st 50 years ago, according to the National Barn Alliance, an organization devoted to preserving heritage barns. So far - and he has been promoting the project since last fall - Ciolek reports that he has had inquiries about sponsorship from several area businesses, including an automotive dealership. In addition, some of the persons who called the phone number on the barn have offered to donate money to the project. Still, much more is needed, particularly one or more sponsorships, if this piece of history is to be preserved, he said. The barn is actually the second barn in the same location on land originally farmed by the Howard Coffey family, said neighbor Harold Anderson, who used to store hay and straw in the barn. “After the first barn burned, they rebuilt it even bigger and better, with a matched lumber floor,” Anderson said. “My dad told me they used to hold barn dances there because the floor was so nice.” During his childhood, he said, the barn was owned by a family named Sober, who used it as a milking parlor, selling their milk in cans to the Twin Pines dairy in Detroit. “I’m glad to see they’re trying to refurbish the barn,” Anderson said. “It’s sad to see a barn rot and fall down - especially one as nice as this one.” Although she has no personal use for it, Ingram said she will likely rent it to Anderson or another local farmer for storage after it is restored. “I hope some area business steps forward to sponsor the restoration,” Ingram said. “It would be such a shame to see this beautiful old barn lost.” Showcase of Homes ■ What: A totaj of 19 new homes opened to the public for touring at various locations throughout Washtenaw County and with a hub site in Livingston County. ■ When: June 21-29. ■ Hours: Noon -7 p.m. Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday; 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; closed on Monday. ■ Tickets: $10 adults, $3 children age 3-16.

TOUR FROM A7 Livingston, Washtenaw builders join forces want people in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County to know we’re just around the corner,” he added. Homes on the two-county tour range from a new senior development of luxury Craftsman cottages near Dexter that sta rt in the $200,000 range to new homes of up to $3 million, said Sue Willis, marketing and advertising director for the Home Builders Association of Washtenaw County. In Washtenaw County, there also is an interesting mix of home sites this year, Willis said. “I try to get something that’s unique in and of itself,” she said. “T here’s something for everybody.” TNvo new homes have been built in Ann Arbor Hills, an older part of the city. “It’s really exciting to see them,” said Willis of the new homes, which she said blend well into the older city neighborhood. “More and more, people want to live close to town or in town,” she added. An energy-efficient green home from Meadowlark Builders also fits well into its environment near downtown Ann Arbor that uses one tenth the amount of energy of a typical home. Every two years, the tour features a house built by the Ann'Arbor Student Building Industry Program, a 38-year-old program that teaches students the art of home building (aastudentbuilding. org). “These (homes) are really special,” Willis said of the house in the Sumerset neighborhood in the city where 11 sites were earmarked starting in 2005 for these student-built house projects. “This year is a different kind of house for them. It looks like a detached condo.” Tickets for the home tour $10 and can be purchased during the tour at any of the JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Details of the French countrystyle house designed and built by DreamWork Builders at Hidden Lake include a wrought-iron and hardwood staircase, rounded archways and other amenities.The house can be seen on this year's home tour. 'We couldn't ask for a better time to showcase Hidden Lake. Kids are out o f school, families are water-skiing and using the lake.' Earl LaFave, developer of Hidden Lake Estates and host to the hub for this year's 2-county Showcase of Homes featured home sites. Visit www.hbawc.com for an interactive map.

The project w a s made possible by a grant from the Howell Education Foundation and other sources. A launch wa s scrapped a w eek ago due to problems with a propeller, but the problem was fixed, using an iglooshaped dog house, a lawnmower engine, plywood and Styrofoam. Schafer is one of 13 tea ch e rs who obtained a grant for a project in the current school year. f “We really look for projects that are inspirational and motivational,” said Howell Education Foundation President Don Cortez. The foundation, established in 2005, provides up to $1,000 k per tea ch e r pe r year, and so * far has funded 29 projects to taling more than $18,000.

But not this year. The Lions delivered a banner year athletically in the 2007-08 school year, arguably the best in school history. They broke through with their first individual state championship (slalom skier Jeff Thompson) and the first team state championship (girls bowling) in school history. Last weekend, the Lions almost added another, but fell 8-6 in the girls lacrosse state finals, their first loss all season (22-1-2). The Lions won Kensington Valley Conference titles in girls swimming (shared with Novi), girls bowling (shared with Milford) and boys soccer (unbeaten in the r e ^ a r season). Although the girls volleyball, basketball and swimming programs didn’t win league crowns, all three had great post-season runs, anchored by an elite crop of female athletes - including three Division I commitments who are juniors. South Lyon athletic director Larry Janes, retiring after 32 years of coaching and athletic administration in the district, says it’s b een fun hanging banners in the gym. “Usually, a lot (of success) has to do with the mix of the kids. We have a very good senior class.” The accomplishments came in every season: ■ The football team had a 6- 3 regular season, good enough for a sbcth straight playoff. ■ The boys swim team was second in the KVC behind Hartland and a school-record 14th at states, thanks to allstate performances from Adam Oxner (seventh in the 100 breaststroke) and its first-ever all-state relay team, the 200 medley relay (seventh). ■ Thompson led the boys ski team to a school-record sixthplace finish at states. ■ The girls volleyball team (31-10-2) earned its highest state ranking ever (ninth) and captured its first district title since 1991, advancing to the regional finals. ■ The girls swim program was a school-record tWrd place at states. Shannon Moceri w as second in the 100 breaststroke and helped the 200 medley relay to third. Jenna Ealetti was seventh in the 50 freestyle. A total of 10 school records fell during the season. ■ The boys lacrosse team set a school-record for wins, going 14-2 in the regular season. ■ The girls basketball team won more games (14-10) than the last four years combined, winning its fe s t district title since 1997. ■ Programs that have struggled took steps forward. The baseball team (16-21) won its first district title in school history, advancing to the regional finals. The softball team was 22-17 (and fourth in the KVC) after at least five years of losing seasons. Wrestler Shea Butler (31-9) placed eighth in the state at 145 pounds. Two athletes were all-state in girls track: Amanda Green (third in the long jump) and Megan Morad (eighth in the 300 hurdles). The Lions tied for 34th a s a team with seven points. Janes said the Lions will stay competitive, even with the split district and upcoming move to the extremely competitive Kensington Lakes Activities Association Kensington Conference Central Division. “I feel confident about our coache s,” he says. “If you lose a few numbers, it will not hurt your program. We will still se e some good things from our teams.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 8 i0-844-2012.

The leadership of five s e niors has helped. The mix of pitches by senior Cassie Dobson ha s be en masterful. But it’s the fun the Highlanders have in the dugout that has kept the mood lo o se and light while other team s have su c cumbed to the p r e ssu r e s of the post-season.

Fundraiser on a fast track Day of drag races will benefit Home of New Vision BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News P hil Bartos and Ed Gottschalk pull their trucks up to the starting line of the 300-foot drag-racing track in Bartos’ backyard in Iosco Township. The lights quickly count down ... yellow, red, green! Engines roar. Tires spit mud high in the air. In seconds, the two trucks c ro ss the finish line. Minutes later, Bartos laments his time. “H e always beats me,” he says. Bartos and Gottschalk built the track around 10 y ea r s ago by digging up a pond and using the sand from his 38-acre property. Over the years, the track has be come more elaborate. The men are proud of their dirty baby, from the professional timing sy stem and safety guard rails to course conditions. Bartos, a heavy equipment operator at Nagle Paving in Novi, estimates h e ’s put at lea st $40,000 into the track. “We’ve done competitions all over,” says Gottschalk, an excavator from Milford. “This track is one of the b e st out there. Condition-wise, w e keep it graded better. It’s got a good lighting system. It doesn’t break down.” Bartos is hosting a sand drag race June 21 a s a fundraiser for the Home of New Vision, a nonprofit in Ann Arbor that h ou se s women battling substance abuse. His daughter is in the program. He says he tries to host two fundraise r s every year. He’s hosted ev ents to raise money to fight cancer, which claimed his wife four y ea r s ago, and for the family of Cheryl Harper, who was killed during the highly publicized dog mauling in Iosco Township.

T h e r e ’s no drama. That’s a heck of a combination,” Howell coach Paul Bushong said after a 3-0 win over Lakeland in the quarter- Snals. B ushong sa y s the Highlanders have their own version of the Three Stooges: Sophomores Nikki Gunning (Larry) and Miranda Cleary (Mo) and freshman Kaytlin Stroinski (Curly). Gunning, who sparked a sixth-inning rally with a lead-off triple, calls he r team m a te s a bunch of “goofs.” “We go out and r elax,” sh e says. “We know w e have a good team. We have all the p ie c e s of the puzzle, and they all fit right now.” The Highlanders feature championship ingredients. Dobson h a s allowed ju s t two nm s the pa st three games. “In one game, I like our ch an c e s with C a ssie ,” B u sh ong says. “She m ix e s it up so well. A double do e sn ’t bother her. She can throw anything.” Defensively, Howell outfielders have thrown runners out a t the plate ag a inst the E a g le s, Okemos and Ann Arbor P ion e e r in the playoffs. “I don’t know why people hit to our outfield,” Bushong says. “It is a backbreaker (to make an out at h ome).” Dobson sa y s “any team can beat anybody” at this point in the sea son . “We ju st n e ed to play a s a team. No erro r s,” sh e says. “We have to be ready from the first inning.” Win or lose, the Highlander s already have experienc ed a dream se a so n by winning the first confe r enc e and r e gional titles in school history. “If we lo s e (this weekend), it will be sad,” Dobson says. “But w e know w e stepped the bar up for the n ex t y ea r s to come.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynew5.com or at 810-844-2012.

There is no charge for spe c ta to r s to com e check out a growing sport, although th e r e is a fe e to en te r the park. White sa y s the amateur tournament is always close. “One stroke can m ake a big difference,” h e says. White cautions any player who wants to turn pro. He sa y s it’s harder to do in Michigan, where competition is fierce. “To ca sh in a s a pro, you have to take your game to a whole new lev el,” he says. Mosier sa y s if h e do e sn ’t win, h e will likely turn professional after the world championships in Kalamazoo in August. H e ’s started strong this sea son , winning the Spring Fling in April and finishing se con d a t the Loco at the Mills, both at Hudson Mills Metropark n ear Dexter. Mosier, who is unemployed, sa y s h e p ra c tic e s up to three hours a day. “If it (my game) continues to in c r ea se , I should have no problem going pro,” he says. “It ju s t depends on how the r e st of the y ea r plays out and if my game improves or not.” Alex Isotalo, who will caddy for Mosier at the amateur for the second straight year, says his friend’s power game gives him an ed g e at tournaments. He sa y s Mosier is ready to start “playing the big boys for ca sh.” “W hen you play with more advanced players, it usually positively affects your game ,” Isotalo says. “It is his time to move up.” Jason Deegan can be reached a t jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynew5.com or at 810-844-2012.

Father's gravestone holds personal words The Denies, son and grandson, make a mark © j i y . . - IT K 'w Family messages grace Donald Donie's grave marker in Brighton. BY STEPHENIE KO'^HN News Special Writer The earthly remains of Donald Donie, a U.S. Army veteran, husband and father who se rv ed his country during the Korean War, are interred at Brighton Hills Cemetery. His grave is marked by a simple marble headstone that bears his name, rank, dates of birth and death and, until a w eek or so ago, a couple of words written in permanent ink. The words, “Thanks Dad,” were a m e ssa g e from his son, David Donie, of Marion Township. “It w a s just a spontaneous thing,” Donie said. “I wrote it one day in October, when I was v isiting dad’s grave.” Though his wife, Gina, daughter Taylor and son Trevor w e r e fine with his writing a m e s sa g e on the h ead stone, it ha s caused a few raised e y e brows. Could the two heartfelt words be somehow perceived a s inappropria te or ev en considered desecration be cau se they were written on a tombstone? Donie said his mother was taken aback when she first saw the message. “She wa s a little bit u pse t at the time, but sh e ’s OK (with it) now,” h e said. “It would have been different if I wrote on somebody e ls e ’s headstone.” “I go to s e e my dad at le a s t once or twice a month,” Donie said. “I feel like I make a connection and g e t grounded when I’m there.

The school board adopted a balanced budget during its meeting earlier this week, but the document only balanced the district’s finances on paper, with generalized cuts sprinkled throughout, according to Superintendent Jim Craig. After the board unanimously approved the budget, Craig told them, “Thank you. Now w e ’ve got our work cut out for us.” The school board - with two new members coming on board - must sift through scores of possibilities to make real cuts that will trim $3.3 million from a budget totaling $54.6 million. 'That work will begin July 14. While conceding that “this is not the preferred w ay to do it,” Craig said the Brighton school board was simply not ready to make the necessary decisions about the budget. Craig said Brighton has cut more than $5 million in expense s in recent years and that’s led to “budget cut fatigue” on the part of board members. One big-ticket item that will be hard to revisit will be busing, which the board cut in 2005 but reinstated after an uproar from parents. A complete elimination of bus transportation for students would save the district $2.4 million, Craig said.

According to Deputy Superintendent Lynn Parrish, Smith has su c c e ssfu lly n e gotiated a contract with the Kent City school board, and will be leaving the Howell school district July 1. The Kent City school district is north of Grand Rapids in w e ste rn Michigan’s Kent County. Smith, 39, said he would m iss the friends he has made in the Howell school district. “It’s never an e a sy decision to make,” Smith said. “We had two great y ea r s and we built great relationships with students and staff,” he said. “You m iss them all H o w e ll H ig h S c h o o l P r in c ip a l Bill S m ith h a s t e n d e r e d h is r e s ig n a t io n . (students and staff) in different ways, but I will m iss the kids greatly. We’v e got great kids in Howell, and they have been a joy to work w ith.” Smith said furthering his ca r e e r in education was a primary r eason for his decision. “I look at the superintendent a s being the head coach and the principal a s a s sistant coach, and I’ve always wanted to be a head co a ch,” he said. Smith said he understands the difficulty districts like Howell and Kent City have th e se days in filling positions. “The b ig g e st cha lleng e for school districts with getting quality applicants today is the (candidates’) fear of not being able to se ll their home and having to g e t a second mortgage,” he said. Earlier this week, Parrish said sh e had “about 1 0” applicants for Smith’s position. Today is the deadline for applying. Parrish said Smith has “done a wonderful job. He was an ex ceeding ly strong, focused high school principal, and it’s going to be difficult to replace him.” Smith’s last y ea r w a s at the Parker Campus, which se rv ed a s the home for all district students in grades 10 through 12 for the 2007-2008 school year. With all 10th- to 12th-grade students now b e ing shifted back to Howell High School, the nex t principal will be based at Howell High. There, a $24.6 million renovation and expansion project is nearing completion, and most of Parker will be mothballed for the coming school year.

The district will sa v e approximately $460,000 by educating Munn’s 200 fifth graders at Kreeger Elementary and 200 sixth graders at Fowlerville Junior High. To implement the K-8 r e alignment, the board voted to layoff six tea ch e r s - four full time and two part time - w h o se seniority left them vulnerable to cuts: Jacqueline Mead, Amy Chabot, Tammy Steffee, Ja cqueline Sadowski.

Art in the Park Protests against beef are justified Recently, more than 100,000 South Koreans demonstrated against newly e le c ted president Lee Myung-bak, a s his entire cabinet offered to re sign. At the root of this m assiv e protest w a s not a declaration of war against North Korea, a boycott of the Chin e se summer Olympics, or ev en esca la ting oil prices. It was a treaty allowing U.S. be e f imports. B e e f production accounts for more gr e enhouse gas em ission s than automobiles. Its insatiable demand for feed grains has raised world food prices to lev e ls beyond the reach of the world’s hungry and the relief a g en c ie s that support them. Creation of b e e f pastures is the key c au se of worldwide deforestation, including the destruction of the Amazon rain forest. A beef-based diet requires more than 20 times a s much land and water as a plant-based diet with equivalent amounts of calories and protein. Nutritionally, b e e f offers protein, iron, and som e B vitamins, but no fiber, carbohydrates, nor most vitamins and minerals. On the other hand, it is replete with saturated fat, cholesterol, p e stic id e s and pathogens. We should have 100,000 demonstrators marching on Washington to protest taxpayer subsidies to the U.S. b e e f industry. In the meantime, each one of us can demonstrate our own outrage with b e e f production on our nex t trip to the supermarket by se le c ting from the rich variety of soy-and-plant-based meat alternative s in the frozen foods and produce s e c tions.

M a s o n r y c om p a n y f in e d in P in c k n e y m a n 's d e a th Safety rules weren't being followed, state agency says From News staff reports The death of a masonry worker from Pinckney at a University of Michigan construction site in February could have been prevented if state law was followed, an investigation by a state agency concluded. The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration fined Davenport Masonry Inc. $62,000 and cited it for four violations of state safety sta tu te s - three of which were considered se r ious and willful. Investigators believ e the Holt-based company was rushing to redo a portion of its work on the exterior of the new wing of the U-M Museum of Art. In the pro c e ss, the company knowingly disregarded proper safety procedures, MIOSHA said. Employee Leo Felly, 32, of Pinckney, died Feb. 28 after he was working on the scafi’olding and took a step backward. He fell 38 feet to the concrete below and died a short time later. Investigators discovered that guardrails w ere not installed at the ends of the scaffolding, and wooden planking for workers to stand on did not extend the full length of the scaffolding. MIOSHA also faulted the company for not effectively inspecting the scaffolding before its u se or providing competent supervision when it was put up. “They were behind in some of the work, and sometimes contractors will take shortcuts when that happens,” said Robert Pawlowski, director of MIOSHA’s construction safety and health divisions. “That’s what we believe was part of the reason the scaffold wasn’t put together correctly.” Davenport Masonry did not return c ^ s seeking comment. Notice of the violations was delivered to the company May 28, and Davenport Masonry had until Wednesday to appeal. Howell schools hike lunch prices From News staif reports School breakfast and limch prices for both students and adults in the Howell school district are going up 30 cents in the fall. The school board approved the price increase June 9, with Board Vice President Jeannine Pratt the lone dissenting vote. “I’m in favor of a 10-cent increase, not 30 cents,” said Pratt. “We can’t save the district fi’om financial issu e s on the parents’ backs.” 'The extra 30 cents a day for a student who buys lunch would cost about $50 extra per year. Associate Business Director Rick Terres factored in a projected decrease in student enrollment and a slight drop in the number of students getting hot lunches when figuring the increase. “We do recognize that, with the higher the lunch price. some families might decide that it’s not worth it” to continue in the hot lunch program. Deputy Superintendent Lynn Pairish said. The school board approved the hikes partly to offset higher prices the district is paying for food, and to compensate for the financial ramifications of the board’s decision not to privatize food service workers. A-la-carte prices also face an “anticipated increase” of 15 cents, Terres said. He estimated the price hike will raise an additional $174,000 in revenue, but will be offset by an $80,000 increase in the food prices the district pays. Even with the increase, lunch prices for Howell middle and high school students, at $2.60 to $3.10, will be lower than Brighton High School’s ($3.25) for the school year that just ended.

FILE: RICK FITZGERALD, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Fest offers chance to raise funds Volunteers can earn up to $6 an hour for nonprofit groups B Y L A U R IE H U M P H R E Y The Livingston Community News Volunteering at the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest offers a lot of perks - good se a ts, camaraderie, a fi’e e flow of thanks. And then there’s the money. Volunteers for the three-day ev ent can earn up to $6 per hour for their favorite nonprofit organization, and that money typically com e s back to the community. Nonprofit a g en c ie s split about $11,000 la s t y ea r ba sed on volunteer hours. The Balloonfest is an ea sy way for community serv ice organizations to make money and enjoy the festival, too, said Ron Faulkner of Deerfield Township. Aside ft’om serving a s treasurer of the Livingston Civitan Club, he coordinates the participation of Livingston County r e sid en ts at Camp Dowagiac, a camp e stab lished for Michigan residents with spe c ia l ne eds. “We sent 13 campers from Livingston County this year, and their counselors” at $250 per camper, u sing money earned fi-om Balloonfest, he said. Faulkner and his wife, Gerry, have volunteered at the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest ■ What: A celebration o f hot air balloons, family fun, arts and craft fair and hot air balloon competition. Sixty balloon pilots are expected to attend the 24th annual event. ■ Where: Howell High School campus, 1200 W.

Balloonfest for more y ears than they can remember. “It was one of our first fundraise r s,” sh e said. In doing so, th ey ’v e raised quite a bit of money for the Livingston Civitan Club since the late 1980s: “a piinimum of $200-$300 ev e ry year, som e tim e s up to $600 or $700, d e pending on how many people (volunteers) do it.” This year, the Faulkners, as part of an eight-member Livingston Civitan Club team, will work four-hour shifts a s parking volunteers. They will se cu r e the lots dedicated to pilots, their c r ew s and the families. “We keep people from driving into the wrong lot,” said Ron Faulkner. Each person is paid by the hour, but the money g o e s to the nonprofit group the volunteers represent. Gerry Faulkner, who also s e r v e s a s the local club’s president, said she enjoys volunteering at Balloonfest for a variety of reasons. She enjoys raising funds for the special needs camp that her husband supports, but sh e also apprec ia te s the up-close views. “I always bring my camera to take pictures of the balloons,” sh e said. Over the y ea r s, the Faulkners have learned to pack chairs, an umbrella, hats and su n sc r e en . Bevera g e s are not n ecessa ry , b e c au se there is a whole other group of volunteers who take care of that. “T hey drive a cart around delivering water and snacks.” “The volunteers are part of the r ea son our ev ent runs so smoothly,” said Michelle Tokan, director of th e Michigan Challenge.

The Red Cross volunteers from Livingston County are in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, this week helping to distribute food, water, cleaning supplies and other items from a warehouse that’s b e en s e t up to help with the flooding relief effort. When I caught up w ith Jack Samples by phone Tuesday ^ afternoon, h e was working with other volunteers - including a group of Teamsters Union members - who were pitching in to unload several truckloads of supplies. Jack Samples, 68, and Bob Samples, 75, expect to be in ^ Iowa for about three weeks. Both are members of the disa ste r r e sp on se team for the Livingston County Chapte r of the Red Cross. Jack Samples got his start in disa ste r r e sp on se when he volunteered to head down to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina battered that region of the country in 2005. The brothers who are both military v e te ran s - Ja ck of the U.S. Navy and Bob of the U.S. Air Force - flew into D e s Moines on Saturday, then traveled to Cedar Falls before settling in at their post in Cedar Rapids. Jack said they ex- I pe c t to be following the floods ^ downstream a s water starts to r e c ed e and re sid en ts are allowed back into their n eighborhoods. According to Associated P r e s s reports, 24,000 people were ev acuated in Cedar I Rapids when floodwater from the Cedar River, which cu ts through the community, covered about I’SOO city blocks. More people were b e ing allowed to return to their homes Tuesday. Preliminary e stim a te s this w eek indicated that flooding ha s cau sed more than $1.5 billion in damage in Iowa and that figure will undoubtedly r ise a s the high water moves downstream. Still, officials said the co st would have been higher if the federal government had not purchased low-lying land after a historic flood in 1993 that caused $12 billion in damage. . “It’s obviously much more ^ shocking when you walk in the door for the first time and s e e what happened,” said Amy Wyss, watching sullenly a s a giant blower was used to dry out her upsca le wine bar, Zins. “I don’t think you can be k prepared for this, ev en if you think you are.” That’s where people like the Samples brothers come in. Jack Samples said he volunteers for th e se kinds of Red Cross a ssignm en ts be cause , “I just enjoy helping people.” In his very matter-of-fact way, he offers three r ea sons why he extends himself when disaster strikes: “It’s needed. I have the time. I can afford to do it.” That sounds like the perfect definition of a volunteer to me. And right now our country and our community could u se a few more people with that kind of attitude. ^ Even if you are not in a position to help in person, the Red Cross is accepting financial donations for r elief efforts. You can donate on the Web at www.redcross.org or by calling the local Red Cross , office at 517-546-0326.

As a Howell High School senior, sh e capped the musical a ch iev e ments of he r childhood by singing in the 2008 All State Honors Choir - a group comprising 112 of the top vocal musicians in Michigan. “Vocal music is so exp r e ssive and flexible,” Fleming says. “It is a medium that can be perfect in any setting to convey any emotion or thought. The variations are infinite ... a belted song from South Africa is no le s s beautiful than a c la ssica l pie c e b e cau se they are both effective in communicating the em o tions of the singer and the composer.” Her favorite vehicle for conveying emotion is the work of Mozart - especially the Credo from the C Minor Mass that sh e sang with All State Honors Choir.

I heard so much American music. Our culture impacts people in Turkey even though they ’re so different from u s.” “S ince their country borders Iraq, it was interesting to have them share their perceptions and to s e e how they differ from those of many Americans,” Schaffer wrote in her cultural diversity e ssa y for the University of Michigan entrance application. “This made me realize that there is no one right way to perceive a situation and that it is important to consider all viewpoints.” Schaffer says her work a s co-founder of the Be the Change Club at South Lyon High School, team leader of Challenge Day, cla ss representative in the Shared Involvement P ro cess, public re lations officer for the student council and vice president of the National Honor Society demonstrates her commitment to respecting the n eeds of others. “She is one of the kindest, most compassionate and hardworking people I’v e ever known,” sa y s Julie Schaffer, Brooke’s mother, a licensed professional counselor. “I would really like her a s a best friend.” When Schaffer returned from France, sh e longed to turn her desire to understand others into a lifelong process, but didn’t know where to b e gin. Her uncle, a U.S. Marine Corps colonel, encouraged her to apply for a Rese rv e Officer 'B'aining Corps scholarship to become a foreign serv ice officer in the U.S. Navy. “When she came back from France, she said, T know what I want to do, how do I do it?’ and my brother gave her the career path to do it,” her mother says. Her older sister, Megan Schaffer, is currently attending U-M on an Air Force ROTC scholarship. “Strangely, I don’t think h er siste r had any impact (on her decision),” Julie Schaffer says. “Brooke said, ‘Oh, I couldn’t do that; I’m not tough enough.’ But when she m e t with the Navy people at U-M, sh e came home and said, ‘Wow, it just feels so right - 1 know it’s what I’m going to do.” ’ Schaffer admits the 6 a.m. ROTC physical training s e s sions t\^ c e a week will be a challenge for a girl who is “not a morning person.” At lea st 20 hours a week will be devoted to ROTC activities in addition to her coursework and, of course, keeping up with her Brooke Schaffer ■ Age: 18. ■ Home: South Lyon. ■ Family: Parents Marc and Julie Schaffer and sister Megan Schaffer, 21. ■ Hobbies: Snow skiing and snowboarding, water skiing and tubing, reading and travel. ■ Favorite movie: Baz Luhrman's "Moulin Rouge" with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. ■ Goals: To work in an embassy as a foreign service officer with the U.S. Navy and someday become an ambassador. French and maybe getting to again watch her favorite movie, Baz Luhrman’s “Moulin Rouge.” “B e cau se it describes my life - truth, beauty, fi'eedom and love - I love those four things together and I love the meaning behind it,” sh e e x plains. EMILY FROM A7 Vocal m u s ic w ill be a h o b b y , n o t a ca re e r “It’s an experienc e like no other - singing Mozart’s p ie c e s with a large group,” she says. “Hearing his sounds with such perfect harmony with Latin words - it’s indescribable.” Choral director Rod Bushey worked with Fleming in the Howell High School a cappella choir and Highlander Chorale. “Emily is an outstanding singer, musician and young lady,” Bushey says. “She provided what I would consider great leadership and integrity in our program th e se past few years.” Fleming graduated summa cum laude earlier this month. She is a National Honor So ciety member and recipient of a commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corp. Her talent and outstanding academic a chievement earned her a scholarship to Hope College, where she plans to audition for the Collegium Musicum chamber choir. She plans to major in English or history and minor in theater. She became interested in theater in her junior year when colleagues on the Howell High School band’s color guard en couraged her to try out for the school drama, Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Working on sta g e enhanced her love of performing. “The sta g e se em ed like a natural extension of what I already do,” Fleming says. “I am a performer.” This spring, sh e understudied the lead in the school musical, Stephen Flaherty’s “Once on This Island,” and had to go on for a Saturday evening performance. Director Amanda Malo says stepping into the lead on the day of a performance is extremely stressful. “When our lead for ‘Once on This Island’ fell ill, Emily rose to the occasion without blinking an eye,” Malo says. “She was so professional you would not have known that she hadn’t been rehearsing for weeks - she didn’t miss a cue or a line and I know the entire cast, myself included, had complete faith in her.” Sue Fleming says her daughter has been singing all her life. “Emily sang while she played. She san g while she studied. She sang while she did her ch o r e s,” he r mother says. Emily Fleming ■ Age: 18. ■ Home: Howell. ■ Family: Parents Chris and Sue Fleming; sisters Laura, 16; Fiorina, 13, and Liliana, 12. ■ Hobbies: Flag team, theater. ■ Favorite song: Credo from Mozart's C Minor Mass. ■ Goals: To study English, history and theater at Hope College and participate in the Collegium Musicum chamber choir. Fleming sa y s she is not planning on going into performance as a career. “I want my work to be aca demic - a s opposed to artistic - a s a matter of practicality,” sh e explains.

Sanchirico, an artist with works in the exhibit, calls it “a journey through the unusual, and the interpretation of a fooi a s the muse and artist.” “A fool’s lack of experience in the ways of society is se en on the surface to be a disadvantage, but in reality it ensur e s that his mind is not closed to unusual or unique experienc es that are denied the ordinary person,” says Sanchirico. She says that as an artist she feels a connection to the fool. “The artist, like the fool, ex ists on the fringe of organized life, going his own way, ignoring the rules and taboos, which se ek to contain creative daydreaming,” sa y s Sanchirico. “While painting I am free to explore the alternate realities not found in everyday life.” The exhibit includes p a stels, acrylics, painting with pure pigment and some mixed media. Sanchirico and artist Pamela Day create je ste r s and fools, one in pa ste ls and the other in three-dimensional terra cotta. Day’s daughter, Melissa Day, is an abstract artist whose work has a quality of fantasy; this exhibit is the first where both Days will exhibit together. “Expression and attitude is what I definitely try to capture,” sa y s Pamela Day. “The je s te r characters in my work began with heads I was doing with my students (at Walled Lake High School), representing our alter-egos.” The other artists in the ex hibit - Carole Skog McGeehan, Peggy Brewer and Christine Laginess, have works that concentrate on the figure and use diverse styles, including colored pencil, pastels, stoneware and mixed media. McGeehan has pie c e s from her “Women S e r ie s” in the exhibit. “My ‘women’ represent the female spirit - the creativity and energy that I s e e in me and all around me,” says McGeehan. “They are the muses who remind me to balance work and play, the guardians who protect m e and the angels that carry my prayers.” The ejdiibit, at 326 W. Main St., runs through July 13. COURTESY.

Hartland Township shopping centers being added to chain B Y C A S E Y H A N S The Livingston Community News Hartland Township is joining the hub of US-23 retail development, with plenty of earth moving going on this summer for two new shopping centers, with at least one major tenant expected to open next summer. New and redeveloped projects at or around the intersection of M-59 and US-23 will total 1.2 million square feet and bring some 2,200 new jobs to the area, according to township officials. “You knew it was coming, you knew the development was going to happen,” said Larry Fox, chairman of the Hartland Township Planning Commission. “It’s just Hartland’s turn. It’s our time. Hartland probably would have seen this development years ago, but there were sewer issues. What you saw, and what you’re seeing, is that pent-up demand.” Work has begun on a 650,000- square-foot Hartland Towne Square lifestyle mall north of M-59, which will include a Meijer store, as well as the 325,000- square-foot Hartland Market Place south of M-59, which will include a 187,000-square-foot Wal-Mart Supercenter. M-59 will become a boulevard, with work starting this summer. Fox said. Hartland Road also will be relocated to the east and routed through the new center in time for the opening of the Meijer store. Road changes are being coordinated and paid for by the two developers: Ramco-Gershenson for Hartland Towne Square and Lormax Stern for Hartland Market Place, township officials said. The 192,000-square-foot Meijer store will sit on 21 acres on the northeast corner of the site that is being prepped to be turned over to Meijer on Sept. 1, according to Ed Eickhoff, vice president of development for Ramco- Gershenson. He said Meijer is anticipating an August 2009 SEE RETAIL, A2 r B a llo o n s: U p , u p a n d a w a y Getting to the Balloonfest C ity le a d e rs a re e n c o u r a g in g v is ito rs to e x it In te r s ta te 9 6 a t e x its 141 o r 1 3 3 , u s in g G r a n d R iv e r A v e n u e to a p p r o a c h H o w e ll H ig h S c h o o l.

Balloonfest will feature an anniversary Couple w ill mark 35 years o f marriage by sponsoring a pilot B Y L A U R IE H U M P H R E Y The Livingston Community News In what may be considered one of the most visible public displays of affection ever. Bob and Sue Henshaw will celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary before 100,000 spectators at this weekend’s 24th annual Michigan Challenge Balloonfest. The summer festival begins today at Howell High School with a 6 p.m. flight time. May 19 marked the official date of the Henshaws’ exchange of ceremonial vows, but the Oceola Township couple hope to carry on their celebration - which began last month with a day of fishing and prime rib - by sponsoring a hot air balloon pilot. “It was something we decided together,” says Bob Henshaw, 57, who is celebrating a year of firsts - a first-time Balloonfest sponsor, serving his first full year as a township trustee, and possibly his first flight in a hot-air balloon. “The pilot said ‘There are five chances to launch,’” he says. Doug Hill, of Saginaw, will be sponsored by the Henshaws in his third appearance at the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest. Hill is typically sponsored by small-business owners and people ru n ning for office, so this experience stands out for him. “I thought it was kind of cute,” he says.

IN BRIEF M o w i n g l a w e y e d Howell City Council members are expected to approve an ordinance July 14 that requires residential property owners to keep their lawn mowed to 8 inches. The current ordinance regulates a 12-inch maximum. “I support this,” said councilman Scott Niblock. “With the mortgage crises we’re facing, I think this is going to become a bigger issue.” The ordinance includes provisions and time frames in which the city must contact violators and allow them time to cut the lawn. Nonconformity on the 10th day will result in the city cutting the lawn and passing on the cost and an administrative fee to the property owner. INSIDE T o o m a n y c a t s ?

The developer is in negotiations with a home improvement store for the major bigbox site closer to US-23, he said. An announcement for that and several other retail contracts could come in the next few weeks, he added. Eickhoff said the full mall is expected to open in the spring of 2010. Other growth will jom retail Hartland Township Supervisor Bill Fbuntain said township ofBcials worked hard during conceptual and site plan discussions to get a good product. “Out of all the things that could have happened, it’s the best that could have happened,” he said. Without the timing, “it would have never had a chance to be developed like it is now. Everybody came together. It’s bringing in a tax base to an area we didn’t have.” Fountain said many other projects are planned' toat will support the coming retail developments, including senior housing, an urgent care clinic, a hotel and a possible head* quarters for the Michigan State Youth Soccer Association. A proposed mixed-use development at Pleasant Valley Road, called Newberry Place, would include 330,000 square feet of retail plus housing. Pox said the Planning Commission plans to blend the community’s history with the changes. “The Planning Commission is looking at what to do with the village - how to improve it,” he said, adding that sidewalks and decorative streetlights will be considered to tie the new with the old. Katie Schlueter, a Shoreline Drive resident who has followed the new developments with an eye toward the impact on area lakes, said she hopes township engineers and county inspectors keep an eye on the projects during construction to ensure they are designed as . promised. “The proof will be whether the system is constructed and maintained as planned,” she said. “I pray the eventual operators of the shopping center are fully aware of how crucial it is to the area’s watershed.” Green Oak center in second phase South along US-23 is the established r e t^ district at Lee Road in Green Oak Township, which includes Green Oak Village Place as well as the Shoppes at Green Oak (Costco and Kohls) west of US-23. Phase two at Green Oak Village Place is under way, with a new 24,(X)0-square-foot Home Goods store that’s expected to open in mid-August, according to Sean Valentino, mall manager. “Overall, the retail climate is tough. Obviously, we’ve felt some impact from it,” said Valentino. But he noted that leasing is going well for the second phase; he expects to be fully leased in early 2009. Valentino said the centers in Hartland and Green Oak will complement each other. “I think they’ll be a good regional draw,” he added. “There are opportunities to work handin- hand.” Elsewhere in Green Oak, Discount Tire is seeking an amendment to the planned unit development for the Shoppes at Green Oak in order to open an outlet retail store, according to township planning and zoning administrator Lesa Brookins. At Wmans Lake Road is a 286-acre parcel known as Mission Hill, where developer Burton- Katzman has requested rezoning of 80 acres along Whitmore Lake Road to highway commercial zoning, according US-23 becoming a retail hub T h e US-23 c o r rid o r is a ttra c tin g a n um b e r o f reta il d e v e lo pm e n ts , m o s t rec ently tw o large centers east a lo n g M -5 9 in H a rtlan d Township.

THE LIVINGSTONCOMMUNITY NEWS BALLOONFEST FROM A1 L o n g t im e f a n s a r e f i r s t - t im e s p o n s o r s “He (Bob) called me the other day and he’s very excited.” The official plan calls for a small banner to hang from Hill’s basket, advertising his competition number and “Rob and Sue Henshaw,” but he’s not ruling out the idea of trailing g “Happy Anniversary” banner behind his balloon in flight. “I’ll have to think about that,” he said with a chuckle. He said the extra drag on his balloon, called Pixely, would not be a huge concern, because he’s more about the flight than the competition. For the Henshaws, they don’t expect any large banners or extra publicity, they are just happy to actively support the Balloonfest, an event they’ve enjoyed for many years. They’ve shared their 40-acre backyard for balloon landings. “Ballooning is an expen- Michigan Challenge Balloonfest ■ W h a t : A h o t -a ir b a llo o n c o m p e t it io n , c a rn iv a l r id e s a n d g am e s , a r ts a n d c ra f t fa ir, a n t iq u e a n d c u s tom c a r s h o w a n d p a ra d e , m e d ie v a l v illa g e , 5K ru n a n d s tu n t k ite d em o n s t r a t io n s .

'Two local women were among those who died. Several survivors also are residents of Livingston and Washtenaw counties. The settlement ends claims against Shoreline Cruises Inc., its affiliate Quirks Marine Rentals and boat captain Richard Paris, according to lawyers and court documents. The terms of the deal are confidential. Claims continue against the tour operator, a boat builder and another company whose tour boat’s wake was suspected of contributing to the deadly accident. The 40-foot Ethan Allen carried 47 passengers and the captain when it suddenly tipped over in clear, sunny weather on Oct. 2, 2005, sending screaming tourists into Lake George. Nineteen of those killed were from Michigan, including Ruth Renkiewicz, 68, of Whitmore Lake, and Stephanie Przybylski, 67, of Hamburg Township. The two had been on a fall color tour with the Northfield Township Senior Center. Survivors included Donna Cook and Dorothy Riley, both from Hamburg Township; Carol and Lawrence Mahalak of Howell; and Frances Nelson and Helen Niles, both from Whitmore Lake. “Under the circumstanc- Classified 734-994-6723 • Classified Private Party 734-994-6711/1-800-589-9888 • Display 734-994-6767 Advanced Orthopedic..............A-9 Brighton Coin.............................A-8 Clearwater KInetIco Systems .A-9 Electric Tool & Equip In c.........A-6 Estate Jewelry By Michael.. . .A-3 Grand River Dental....................

The next step is for the federal judge to accept the settlement agreement. Investigators from the National 'Transportation Safety Board believe the 40- foot boat was rocked by the wake from a passing boat or multiple boats. The federal board concluded in 2006 that the Ethan Allen was dangerously unstable because of structural changes done over the years and should have been carrying fewer passengers, although it was certified to carry 48 passengers plus two crew members.

Board members narrowed the field from six candidates to three through interviews p conducted last weekend. Two of the three finalists come from small, rural districts in Michigan and the third is from a blue-collar, downriver suburb of Detroit. The finalists are: ■ William Coale, 54, superintendent of the Parma Western School District in Jackson County. ■ Ted Gardella, 49, superintendent of the LakeVille Community Schools in Genesee and Lapeer counties. ■ John Savel, 56, superintendent of the TY-enton PubUc Schools in Wayne County. I Board President Phil West- L moreland said all six people ^ interviewed were excellent candidates. “The candidates are of great quality; you couldn’t have asked for higher,” Westmoreland said. “All have different skills and different areas where they shine.” “They’re all outstanding,” echoed Terre Davis of TD & Associates, the district’s consultant in the superintendent search process. The person selected will replace Superintendent Chuck Breiner, who is on administrative leave until his contract expires Monday. All three finalists said they have considerable experience in negotiating contracts with both teachers’ unions and nonteaching staff. Savel and Coale have doctorate degrees in education; Gardella has a master’s degree in education and completed the Michigan Leadership Institute’s superintendent academy. Gardella comes from LakeVille, a small school district in Genesee and Lapeer counties that serves the towns of Otter Lake, Columbiaville and Otisville in Michigan’s Thumb. The district has an enrollment of about 1,900. He is the former director of instructional services in the Saginaw Intermediate School District and past director of secondary education in the Chelsea school district. He is a former algebra teacher.

Coale answered, “I would hope they always use the words fair, ethical, creative.” Coale has been at Parma Western since 2005; before that he was assistant superintendent in Centerline and before that technology director and middle school principal in the Mount Morris Schools. He also has taught at Spring Arbor University. “Open, honest, fair,” re plied Savel to the “three words” question. Before becoming Trenton superintendent he was director of secondary education in the 15,000-student Chippewa Valley Schools in Macomb County. Before that he was a middle school principal in the same district. He also was a superintendent finalist in the Dexter school district until he withdrew last month.

T he candidates who were not invited back after the interviews were Terry Barker, who heads the North Newton school district in Morocco, Ind., Jim Wencel, superintendent of the Bad Axe School District, and Jerry Jennex, superintendent of the Capac Community Schools. Questions, which were the same for each candidate, ranged from the person’s background in education to financial expertise and philosophical areas. They also were asked questions pertaining to cutbacks that districts in Michigan, including Howell, have had to make due to a combination of factors. The board was scheduled to meet Thursday at Southwest Elementary School to pick a new superintendent, after which informal talks toward a contract will begin. The base pay for the position is $140,000.

I try to look at folks with different skill sets; that's when synergy really happens." "This is not about just a Jo b-it's the only Job I applied for - this is about special challenges. I have high expectations of my administration and they rise to the challenge." "I view privatization as a last resort." "If we can't Justify what we're doing, then we have to make a different decision." "Too often we treat or react to the symptoms, and we fail to identify the problem." "Howell is a really nice community, the values are here." "Don't Just accept the status quo (or) we can't survive. The district that can't embrace change will not survive." "The building issue (of Parker High School) has to be addressed effectively. We have to be sensitive to our constituents, look at the funding. We have to look at potential revenues, strategic planning." Ted Gardella "What's important is creating a destination school district, so students want to come, teachers want to come, families want to come." "If (common sense) was easily defined, it wouldn't be so rare. I'd (rather) talk about good sense." "Without an effective team ... the superintendent is going to be ineffective." "The challenge is how are we (in Howell) going to get over the issue of the (new Parker Campus being closed). How are we going to re-purpose it?" "There is no substitute for 'face' time: Meeting with people, listening, reflecting. (Superintendencies) are more than full-time Jobs." "Kids are the core curriculum; (kids in the classroom) are our Joy." "Educate the whole child, not (Just) the academic child." "All employees are an important part of the school district, and it's important they hear that." John Savel "There is a tremendous amount of potential here." "Trenton had not passed a bond issue since '68, and last May we passed a ($37 million) bond issue, 2-1." "(An item of pride) is the move of our (Trenton) high school next year to trimesters: The kids and parents are pretty excited and it's at no extra cost." "We had to close an elementary school, and a lot of people were angry. You need to be available and involve the people." "Make sure (parents and the community) are listened to; their opinions have value." "As a new superintendent (in Trenton in 2004), I made a lot of rookie mistakes; I think I've learned from those." "Surround yourself with good people and give them the tools they need." "(Howell) is a good school district, but anyone I've spoken to outside of the district has said 'Howell is a great district, but.' And we need to get rid of the 'but'."

JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Shelters full of cats as adoptions decline As economy worsens, more pets are abandoned B Y L IS A C A R O L IN The Livingston Community News It’s raining cats and .... kittens in Livingston County. Both the Humane Society of Livingston County and Livingston County Animal Control are bursting at the seams with cats and kittens as adoptions dwindle. “Our adoptions are way down so subsequently we can’t take more cats in,” says Sarah Mews, manager of the Humane Society of Livingston County. “This is particularly true for adult cats as kittens generally seem to be adopted faster. “I believe that the problem is all-encompassing - as the economy gets worse, more people lose jobs and homes, and can therefore no longer care for their animals and end up needing shelter for them.” Mews says that spring is kitten season, which makes this time of year busier, but that economic issues are compounding it further. She worries that more people are abandoning cats and kittens, which are being found in places in the county like farms, parking lots and in heavily trafficked areas, where people hope that someone will see the animals and take them in. “Our overpopulation prob- Adopt a cat?

It would go a long way toward the overpopulation problem if they spayed or neutered all animals prior to the animals being adopted.” Anne Burns, director of Livingston County Animal Control, agrees that spaying and neutering cats and dogs is imperative. She says Animal Control also is seeing an increase in the number of unwanted cats. “People can’t afford them or they’re moving,” says Burns. “Last year we had more than 1,000 cats and 594 were euthanized and 417 were adopted.” Mews says it will take some creativity in the upcoming months to get more people to visit the shelter and to adopt a pet. The Humane Society of Livingston County has reduced the adoption fees for adult cats. Because of the number of cats, the Humane Society of Livingston County and the Livingston County Animal Shelter could use donations of canned food, cat beds, cat toys, towels, blankets, catnip, kitten milk replacer, breakaway cat collars, litter boxes, clay litter or scoopable cat litter, litter scoops, dishwasher soap, bleach, hand soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, trash bags and kitchen-size waste baskets.

The township’s Board of Trustees approved the $6.8 million budget, which goes into effect Tuesday, by a 4-3 vote June 17. Clerk Joanna Hardesty, Treasurer Roberta Balon-Vaughn and Trustee Pat Hohl said they cast the dissenting votes because they’re worried about how the general fund can be reimbursed $371,000 from a yet-to-be approved M-36 water project and $257,000 from a depleted sewer enterprise fund. “We’ve got about $628,000 out there in la-la land and if it doesn’t come through, this budget is completely out of whack,” Hohl said. “We can’t make it from July 1 to tax collection without that money.” Supervisor Cindy Pine, whose duty it is to draft the annual budget, said the figure is really closer to $500,000, because the amount for the water project originally included proposed work that was never done. The actual figure, she said, is closer to $250,000. Pine said she’s not concerned about either payback and the adopted budget prevents staff layoffs and cutbacks at least in the short term. “We have some problems, but pointing fingers is not going to make any difference at this point,” Pine said. “We just need to solve the problems.” The township approved a reimbursement resolution for the water project, which allowed officials to fund engineering, legal and other costs up front. Bonds for the project, from which the general fund would be reimbursed, haven’t been sold yet and Hohl, unlike Pine, said he’s concerned the project may not happen. The enterprise fund is suffering, Pine said, because about $500,000 for the time personnel from other departments, such as zoning and accounting, have spent working on sewer projects have not been included in the costs of running the system in recent years. “The fund would be about $2 million better off if the right figures had been calculated,” Pine said. Enterprise fund revenue also has been dependent on growth, which has allowed the township to keep user rates at $91.50 per quarter per residential equivalency unit since 1996. An REU is a standard measure of sewer and water consumption based on the amount a typical home might use. Growth is down along with state revenue sharing and other income. Pine said. A new sewer rate study needs to be done, she said. “I think it is inevitable that rates will have to increase,” Pine said. “We are all right for 2008-09, but we are spending more than we’re taking in, so we’re not going to be all right in the future.” Pine said a rate study conducted by Detroit-based municipal finance advisers Bendzinski & Co. in 2003 and presented to the board in June 2004 predicted rates would have to be increased to $114 per residential equivalency unit by 2008. The board did not adopt that rate schedule. Trustee George Majoros suggested that money to cover both reimbursements could be taken from the township’s $2 million fund equity, but Hohl questioned the fiscal responsibility of that. “We’ve taken $1 million out of fund equity in the last four years,” Hohl said. “We’ve reduced it by a third and I don’t think we’ve even hit the gales of this economy yet.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ llvingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. IN B R IE F Howell E. S i b l e y S t r e e t p r o j e c t d o l l a r s O K 'd City council approved $177,547 for final design work and $55,600 for landscaping design on the East Sibley Street reconstruction project that is slated to begin in 2009. The $2.8 million project, including road, water, sewer and utility improvements, landscaping and parking lot enhancements, will stretch from South Michigan Avenue east to National Street. City staff are pursuing a state Transportation Enhancement Grant to offset the landscaping costs, and plan to approach the city’s Downtown Development Authority to cover the b^ance. The finished product will result in more than 1,000 trees and shrubs, benches and decorative lighting in the newly constructed area. Howell Township P u r s e b u r g l a r s b r e a k t h r o u g h w a l l Burglars cut through a bathroom wall to steal a number of handbags from a store in the Tanger Outlet Center on the morning of June 23, police said. Livingston County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an alarm at the Coach Factory Store around 1 a.m. Deputies discovered a hole in a wall shared with a public restroom, a press release said. The thieves stole several Coach brand tote bags, but police did not release a dollar amount of the store’s loss. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s tip line at 517-546-8477. Pinckney Village adopts $1.3 million budget The Village Council has adopted a nearly $1.3 general fund budget for the next fiscal year, which begins Tliesday. The budget includes a 3 percent salary increase for village employees and reflects about a 10 percent reduction in state revenue sharing funds. Shared revenue makes up about 11 percent of the village budget. The general fund millage levy will stay at 8 mills and is anticipated to bring in about $664,000 in revenue, said Village President Rebecca Foster. General highway millage also remains at 2 mills and will generate about $165,500 in revenue, Foster said. No major street projects are planned for the year. The Downtown Development Authority expects revenue of about $121,000, but will transfer about $41,000 from fund equity to bring the total budget to about $162,000 to cover possible capital expenses, such as development of a downtown municipal parking lot and downtown street signs, Foster said. S c h o o l l u n c h p r i c e s w i l l i n c r e a s e Lunch prices in Pinckney Community Schools will go up next year to help offset rising fuel and milk costs, district officials said. Elementary school students will pay $2.25 per lunch. Pathfinder and Navigator school students will pay $2.50 per lunch and high school students will pay $2.50 for regular lunch or $3.15 for premium lunch.

Howell school trustees balance district's budget Student-teacher ratio should stay the saine despite cuts B Y T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News It appears the Howell school district will be in better condition financially than other districts in the region for the coming year after the Board of Education this week adopted a 2008-09 district budget of $67.3 million. The spending plan contains $2.1 million in cuts made last month, including eliminating up to 16 teaching positions, cutting a small number of administrative and support positions, and other reductions. However, the student-teacher ratio will remain the same because fewer teachers will be needed since an enrollment decline is predicted for next year. Despite the cuts, basic programs and services will remain intact, and the board was able to avoid privatizing cafeteria workers, bus drivers, elementary school counselors and maintenance workers. “We think at the present time we’re OK,” said Trustee Dan Fondriest. “It’s like (Associate Superintendent for Business) Rick Terres said, it’s tight - with all the cuts that were made - but we’re not cutting into our fund equity.” Terres based the spending plan for the fiscal year beginning July 1 on a projected loss of 170 students and an increase of $120 in state per-pupil aid. The cur^ rent K-12 funding proposal being bandied about in the state Legislature is a $110 per-pupil increase in state aid in the state House, and $142 in the Senate. Terres expects the final amount to be somewhere in between. “State aid and student count are key numbers, and if further reductions are necessary, I will ask the board to look at the (potential) reductions yet remaining and prioritize,” Terres said. Howell is among the lowest-funded districts in the state, receiving $7,204 per student. Fondriest said the board may start reviewing the budget on a monthly basis. something it has not done before. “We’re still concerned about state funding, like everyone else is,” he said. The spending plan leaves the estimated unreserved fund balance at $2.2 million - or 3.2 percent of the total budget - down slightly from the current fiscal year ending June 30. Also approved this week was an $883,000 curriculum budget - including $332,000 for textbook purchases - for next year. The figure marks a reduction of $166,000 from the 2007-08 curriculum budget.

On Monday, the township’s Zoning Board of Appeals denied requests from Colone for s k zoning variances that would allow him to complete the Devil’s Den Mini Golf in back of his Screams Ice Cream & Halloween Store, 4045 Patterson Lake Road. Colone has 21 days to file an appeal with the court, which his attorney. Dale Cooper of Brighton, said he would do. “Then we’ll all do a bunch of negotiating,” Cooper said. Colone started the course in May 2007 after receiving a landuse permit waiver from former Zoning Administrator Pat Carney. The waiver was rescinded by the township board last August and Carney was fired for granting it because trustees said he issued it before a required site-plan review for the course had been submitted. Township officials required Colone to restart the permitting process, but 13 of the course’s 18 holes already were done and about $84,000 had been invested in the project, Colone said. Colone started the project in good faith after receiving the waiver and that should have been taken into consideration regarding his zoning variance requests. Cooper said. Some ZB A members, including Jerry Lester, said they doubted that, but Cooper presented a letter sent to Colone by Supervisor Ron Rau that references a number assigned to the waiver. “That acknowledges that there was a waiver,” Cooper said. “Mr. Rau’s letter is concession that what Mr. Colone was doing was in good faith.” At the time Colone received the waiver, there was no classification for miniature golf in the township’s zoning ordinance for commercial property. That has since been remedied, but Cooper argued that Colone is being forced to ask for variances that were required by an ordinance that was created after he’d started work on the course. “I understand his point,” said Tom Benedetti, the township board’s representative on the ZBA. “He’s saying this hardship is not self-created by John Colone. Everybody helped create this hardship.” Benedetti was the only ZBA member voting in favor of granting Colone’s variance requests. The variances included waiver of a 50-foot setback requirement along Riverbank Drive, exemption from creating a 6-foot-high berm or plant buffer along tiiiat road and permission to expand a non-conforming parking lot without paving the lot. Colone said he was willing to put in a buffer of shrubs, that he would not put in a driveway for the course off Riverside Drive and that he would work with the Livingston County Road Commission to have “no parking” signs put on that road. While the crowd was decidedly smaller than when the ZBA originally took up this issue June 9, a majority of the residents speaking this time favored compromise. “If you’re not going to compromise and we head down the legal avenue, it’s just going to be costly for both sides,” said resident Ron Meyers. Putnam Township has been in a six-year legal battle with the Hendee family over rezoning of 144 acres at Swarthout Road and County Road D-19 from agriculture to residential. An appeal of a county ruling favoring the Hendees’ plan to put 498 manufactured homes on the land was heard June 12 by the Michigan Court of Appeals. No decision has been issued yet. The township has spent more than $100,000 fighting the development and the Hendees are seeking another $123,870 in their appeS to cover their legal fees.

JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS • W h i tm o r e L a k e s t a r p r e p p in g f o r U -M His focus will be on academics rather than athletics B Y T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News David Doman excelled in both academics and athletics while he was a student at Whitmore Lake High School. The recent graduate will take his 3.99 grade-point average to the University of, Michigan in the fall to study bioengineering. Doman, 17, played a starting guard position on the Whitmore Lake football team for four years and was named to the TH-County League all-conference team. In track, he competed in the shot put and discus and ran 9 the 1,600-meter relay; he also played on the TlDjan golf team and was on the school’s power lifting team, where he was named weightlifter of the year in 2006. His parents. Brad and Fran Doman of Washtenaw County’s Northfield 'Township, are proud of their youngest son. “Pretty much everything he tries, he’s good at,” said Brad Doman. “(David) has really accomplished a lot.” Brad Doman was pleased when he was told his youngest son is following in his parents’ footsteps. “I’m really proud of that,” he said. Both Doman’s parents graduated from U-M, earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees. “David has shown tremendous leadership with the entire student body,” said Brian Lemons, who has bo'th coached David and taught him in class. “He’s an outstanding student,” Lemons said. Although Doman excelled in sports in high school, he said he’s going to concentrate on his school work at U-M. “I think playing college sports would be hectic with my studying,” he said. He has been extremely busy with school activities and has had time for just one hobby, forming the rock band Domanation. The band consists of himself, his brothers Victor and Joe, a family friend, “and sometimes my dad,” who fills in on occasion. He said he was motivated to form the band “after someone wrote my name down for Whitmore L ^ e ’s Battle of the Bands.” He liked the music they made and decided to continue the group, which plays at school and church fimctions and parties. Domanation even has achieved a small measure of fame by being on You'Idbe, where it may be viewed playing its version of ZZ Top’s hit, “Sharp Dressed Man” along with “a couple of origin^ songs.” David Doman ■ A g e : 17. ■ H o m e : N o r th fie ld T ow n sh ip . ■ F am ily : Pa ren ts Brad an d Fran D om a n ; tw o b ro th e rs , Vic to r, 2 2 , a n d Joe, 21. ■ H o b b ie s : P la y ing w ith his b a n d D om a n a tio n , w e ig h t lif t in g , golf. ■ F a v o r ite s : F avorite m u sical g ro u p , M e ta llic a ; fa v o rite b o o k , "S la u g h te rh o u s e Five;" fa v o rite m o v ie , "I Am L eg en d ." ■ G o a ls : T o g r a d u a te w ith h o n o rs f rom th e U n iv e rs ity o f M ic h ig a n a n d p u rs u e a c a re e r in b io e n g in e e r in g .

H a r t la n d g r a d w a n t s a lif e c h ie f ly in t h e p it s Scott Hall going to North Carolina for motor-sports study B Y L A U R IE H U M P H R E Y The Livingston Community News Scott Hall has his sights set on becoming the first Hartland High School graduate to rule the pit as a NASCAR crew chief In August, the 18-yearold will enter the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the vehicle he needs to reach his goal. “I’m going to get a degree in mechanical engineering, with a concentration in motor sports,” he said about the university’s relatively new curriculum. It only accepts 90 students, and he considers himself lucky to be admitted. To Hall’s delight, the university takes full advantage of Lowe’s Motor Speedway, just minutes away. Students regularly interact with NASCAR drivers and other members of race teams, although to Hall’s knowledge none of his future teachers participate with an active racing program. Just attending the school will be advantageous to Hall, says John Conely, president of the Brighton-based Conely Racing JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS R e c e n t H a r t la n d H ig h S c h o o l g r a d u a t e S c o t t H a ll, 1 8 , w a n ts to w o r k in ra c e w a y p its as a N A S C A R c re w c h ie f .

Hall started with 'Turnbull Racing at age 14. Known as the go-get-it guy. Hall’s first job entailed getting towels and tools for employees of the Howellbased company. Years of devotion and persistence paid off, propelling him to new duties, added responsibility- and a secure grasp of mathematical concepts. “I was always learning,” he said. His responsibility these days is tires - adjustog the circumference, tire pressure, and even deciding which ones to put on the car, depending on the road conditions. “Race tires are kind of finiclgf,” he said, noting the difference between inside and outside tires. Race tracks rise incrementally moving from the infield toward the stands. Tires calibrated incorrectly for the rise can cost a driver the race, or worse, a loss of control and possibly a crash. That is a lot of responsibility for a teenager, his mother. Sue Hall, points out, but her son doesn’t make that his focus. “It’s just my thing. I do my job and don’t think about the responsibility,” he said. That same mindset earned him a perfect SAT score of 36. Kent Wabel, a language arts teacher at Hartland High School, said part of Hall’s success is his ability to look at the Scott Hall ■ A g e : 18. ■ H o m e : O c e o la T o w n s h ip . ■ F a m i ly : P a re n ts M a r t in a n d S u e H a ll; s is te r M e g a n , 16. ■ H o b b ie s : W o rk in g o n cars a n d c a r p a r ts ; h e a ls o s p e n t fo u r y e a rs p la y in g t e n o r s a x o p h o n e in th e H a r t la n d H ig h S c h o o l m a r c h in g b a n d a n d bass c la r in e t in th e c o n c e r t b a n d . ■ F a v o r i t e N A S C A R d r iv e r ; M a r k M a r t in , N o . 8, s p o n s o re d b y th e U.S. A rm y . ■ G o a is : B e c om e a c re w c h ie f fo r a N ASC A R te am . whole picture. “Scott looks at the whole package, the car, the team and the program. He is very driven in his motivation.” “But not the competition,” his mother added. She steered her son toward mechanical engineering because it was a better fit. Scott considered becoming a driver as a young teenager, but decided against it. “If you want to be a driver, you have to really want to beat the other guys, no matter what. That’s not Scott. He’s more interested in the intellectual competition,” said Sue Hall. Driven to succeed in the automotive sector like most of his family, many of whom have jobs with Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, Hdl doesn’t care which team he works for, as long as he’s in the race.

The pool closure was eliminated from next year’s $36.4 million budget due to a guarantee of extra support from the Pinckney Aquatics Club. The district’s Board of Education adopted the 2008-09 budget June 19. It goes into effect 'Tuesday. 'The aquatics club is purchasing a $5,000 pool cover that is expected to save about $12,000 next year in energy, water and chemical usage, said Superintendent Dan Danosly. The club also will raise its fall and winter fees to $25 and its spring and summer fees to $10 and contribute the money raised from the increase toward operation of the pool, Danosly said. “This, combined with not needing to transport swimmers from the high school to the community pool at Pathfinder School, makes keeping the high school pool open possible,” Danosky said. “We’ll also be able to keep swimming classes at the high school.” The district closed Hamburg Elementary School and the Village Education Center, it consolidated bus routes, and eliminated door-to-door bus service, laid off Athletic Director John Rehbine and reassigned his duties to Community Education Director Tedd Bradley, privatized jobs for nonstaff coaches, reduced staff hours and cut staff and teaching positions. Even so, the 2008-09 budget still is about $369,500 short in The 2008-09 budget still is about $369,500 short in revenue. If Pinckney takes money from its fund equity, it will have just shy of $583,000 left in reserve. revenue, so closing a pool could be considered again after this year, Danosl^ said. If Pinckney takes money from its fund equity to make next year’s budget balance, it will have just shy of $583,000 left in reserve. Pinckney used $1.2 million from fund equity to balance its 2007-08 budget. Officials had originally predicted they would need to use about $800,000, but higher-than-anticipated increases in diesel fuel, electricity and natural gas required more funds. Higher fuel and utility costs also are figuring into next year’s budget, as is the district’s prediction that its enrollment will decline by 100 students, resulting in a loss of about $735,000 in state revenue. Per-student funding is the only revenue source schools have had since voters passed Proposal A in 1994. It shifted the basis of school finance fixjm local property taxes to state sales taxes and guaranteed all districts a minimum payment.

RICK FITZGERALD The Livingston Community News Would you ► like to ride? sure did It’s hard to imagine a finer way to spend a summer evening than soaring above the treetops in a hot-air balloon. After taking a ride the other night as part of a preview for this weekend’s Michigan Challenge Balloonfest, I can understand how people get hooked on the sport. I’m not quite ready to run out and invest in propane tanks, a large wicker basket and several thousand yards of nylon fabric, but I sure can see why people do it. Fortunately for those of us who live or work in Livingston County, balloons are not something you see once in a lifetime. It’s more like once a week. Especially this time of year. Balloonfest weekend is upon us and the Howell High School campus is the center of all the action this weekend. There are opportunities tonight, Saturday and Sunday to get up close and get a good look at these lighter-than-air flying machines. My most recent flight was compliments of local pilot Ken Myer, who brought out his new balloon, Ralphie 2, for the June 18 preview event for Balloonfest. It’s a replacement balloon for his Ralphie’s Ride balloon that he’s been flying for the last she years. The new balloon has a slightly larger envelope (90,000 cubic feet). That, along with newer fabric and a few other improvements, allows Myer to fly longer and farther. I went up with Myer and Matt Ikle, a Balloonfest official who also happens to be Myer’s insurance agent. I wasn’t quite sure how to read that: Should I be confident that this guy’s insurance agent is willing to go flying with him... It was a beautiful night. Threatening clouds had moved on to reveal a deep blue sky. We lifted off from Howell City Park, moved out over Thompson Lake and floated southeast ... not so much by choice, but taking direction from the light breeze and rising thermals. The view is exceptional. We look back on the launch site and get to watch at least two other balloons lift off. Look in the other direction out over the lake and there, down below us, a balloon is dipping low toward the water’s surface as a boat cruises by. In spite of Myer’s reputation for surprising his passengers with his trademark splash-and-dash maneuver, we kept our feet dry on this flight. Myer, of Howell Township, says he got into ballooning after crewing for a friend.

Right now, his work supports his farming habit.” Scott Motz owns a commercial door and hardware business in Warren, but it’s the days spent on his family’s large farm in the De- Witt and St. Johns area in Clinton County that he longs for, Stacie Motz said. His grandfather grew 10 acres of raspberries, but Scott and Stacie Motz decided to give strawberries a try. “I love strawberries,” Stacie Motz said. “This brings back memories of picking them with my grandmother and making jam. It’s a nice memory I have with her and I hope the people who come here make those same memories for their families.” The four acres of berries ripe for the picking this year were planted last year. Another half-acre is being planted for next year. “We weren’t really prepared for the response we’ve gotten or the demand,” Stacie Motz said. “It’s been a great year.” The Motzes did prepare for strawberry farming by joining the North American Strawberry Growers Association and taking a trip to Maine to meet with large-scale growers. One of the things they learned was a planting method called “plasticulture.” A machine lays a drip irrigation line under a raised row of black plastic. The strawberry plants are planted by hand in slits made in the plastic, Stacie Motz said. “We also planted some of our berries in traditional rows with straw, but we’re seeing better volume with the plastic,” she said. “Plus, the berries didn’t rot as much from the rain and it’s a lot easier to control the weeds. This is way more work, but the end result is so much better.” 'Two-year-old Nora Coddington gave her seal of approval. She couldn’t stop eating the berries she was picking with her mom, Stacey Coddington of Howell Township; grandmother Judy Devine of Houghton Lake and cousin Jailyn Owens. “The berries are beautiful and the plants are beautiful,” Stacey Coddington said. “Plus, they don’t spray much and that’s huge for us. We try to do as much natural as we can.” Barring extreme weather conditions, disease and destruction from animals that also like to eat strawberries - plants and all - the Motz •farm should have a rosy future, said Marie O’Connor of Webberville, a seasoned strawberry picker who visited the farm with husband. Bill. “Michigan berries are the best,” she said. “The California berries just don’t have the same taste.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011.

Some 200 flights later, we’re soaring above the trees as Myer points out streets, neighborhoods and businesses with the confidence of the seasoned balloon pilot he is. He stays in touch with crew chief Lori by radio, providing updates on where we’re headed so she can move into position to help land and pack up the balloon once it’s back on terra firma. Ballooning is not an inexpensive hobby, buy Myer says it’s no more costly than other habits that are a lot less fun - like smoking, a habit he gave up a decade ago. “Throw away a pack of cigarettes a day and you can fly a balloon,” he says about the ongoing costs of propane and the occasional repairs. And it’s clear this is a man who enjoy his flight time. We sweep low over a subdivision and Myer starts to banter with the gathering crowd of kids: “Throw me the ball!” he hollers to a boy holding a basketball and staring up on the multicolored balloon. As we float south more people emerge from their after-dinner activities inside to point and stare at the balloons that float overhead like clouds that have had paint spilled on them. Everyone - those of us flying and those on the ground - is enjoying this. As we cross 1-96, Myer K en M y e r , c e n te r , o f H o w e ll T o w n s h ip p r e p a r e s t o la u n c h h is n e w b a llo o n , R a lp h ie 2 , d u r in g a J u n e 1 8 p r e v ie w o f M ic h ig a n C h a lle n g e B a llo o n fe s t .

A big open field looks inviting, until we spot the locked gate that will keep out his chase vehicle. We pass on a horse pasture - horses do not like balloons, Myer explains - and keep moving. Suddenly a gravel cul-desac emerges from the green canopy and in less than a minute, we are bouncing across someone’s front yard. In another minute, we’ve maneuvered the balloon to the edge of the road and the chase vehicle shows up with Lori Myer and the Wennberg family - Mike, Deanna, Aaron, 9, and Hayley, 11 - ready to pack it all up for the next flight. Ken Myer and his crew will be participating in this weekend’s festivities and you should, too. There are launches and fly-ins starting Friday evening and running through Sunday evening. Weather can make a big difference, but watching these launches take place right over your head is an awesome experience.

COURTESY, HAMBURG TOWNSHIP POLICE H a m b u r g p o l i c e h o n o r s o f f i c e r s Hamburg Township Police officers Jim Steinaway, Alysha Garbacik and Tony w ilace have been recognized by Chief Steve Luciano and the township’s Board of Trustees for exemplary effort. Garbacik and Steinaway received a Life Saving Award for their response last Christmas to a meffical emergency at a township residence. Robert Bell was at his Shawnee Drive home with his family when he lost consciousness after complaining of weakness and pain in his arm and chest, Luciano said. Garbacik and Steinaway found Bell on the floor of his home and discovered he was not breathing and had no pulse, he said. The officers administered CPR and used an AED to shock and restart Bell’s heart, thus saving his life, Luciano said. The AED is one of 10 purchased by funds raised by the Hamburg Enhanced Recreation Organization for the police department last year. Wallace received a Certificate of Merit Award for performance under unusual or difficult circumstances. At 3:30 a.m. Jan. 16, Wallace was investigating several incidents of property being stolen from parked cars in a neighborhood near Campbell Court when .he found several sets of footprints in the snow, Luciano said. Wallace followed the tracks for more than three hours in subfreezing temperatures and located two men in possession of stolen property, he said. This is the first year the Hamburg Township I^lice Department has given awards to recognize staff efforts. Luciano said he hopes the practice will become an annual event. P i n c k n e y g r a d s w i n s c h o l a r s h i p s Pinckney Community High School graduates Shane Sugierski and Megan Rogers are this year’s recipients of scholarships given by the Pinckney- Lakeland-Hamburg-Hell Division of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce. Each will receive $1,000. Sugierski plans to attend Michigan State University to major in business. He was active in sports and many community projects, including Operation Christmas Child, American Cancer Society Relay for Life and Pennies for Pasta. He is also a referee for the Hamburg Community Soccer Club. Rogers will attend North- S u g ie rs k i R o g e rs wood University in Midland to major in marketing, entrepreneurship and aftermarket car sales. She hopes to work in the automotive industry, but has a personal goal of owning her own floral shop one day. Rogers also was active in sports an in community groups, such as LACASA. The PLHH chamber awards these scholarships annually to a student involved in the Pinckney High’s DECA or Business Professionals of America clubs and a student at-large. Recipients must have high academic standing and be considering a career in business. W i ld l i f e c l u b g i v e s s c h o l a r s h i p s The Livingston County Wildlife & Conservation Club has awarded three scholarships to Livingston County students. Dane DeBottis, son of Pat and D.J. DeBottis and a 2008 Howell High School graduate, has received the club’s $1,500 Club Member Conservation Award. The $1,000 County Conservation Award went to Jessica Ruff, a 2008 Pinckney Community High School graduate, and the $1,000 Club Member General Award went to Sarah Terry, daughter of Martin and Susan Terry and a student at Florida Coastal School of Law.

A m ile in t h e ir s h o e s Resale shop owner donates profits to clinic B Y L I S A C A R O L IN The Livingston Community News Kim Jaszkowski knows what an awful feeling it is to lose health insurance. She lost her insurance when she lost her job. She also was facing a number of health issues at the time. “I had been a patient at the Whitmore Lake Health Clinic, and even when I lost my job and insurance, they continued to be really good to me,” Jaszkowski says. She became insured by the Livingston Health Plan with the help of the clinic. The plan is aimed at people who make just enough money to disqualify them from Medicaid coverage but not enough to be able to afford personal health insurance. “The only problem is what the Livingston Health Plan doesn’t cover,” says Ja sz kowski, who lives in Unadilla Township. “It doesn’t cover a lot of prescriptions and it doesn’t cover hospitalization.” Jaszkowski learned at the clinic just how many people were in the same situation as she is, and she decided to lend a hand. In May, she opened the WLHC Resale Shoppe in Hamburg Township. She sells furniture, household goods, clothing, tools, garden equipment and other items that are donated to the store, and the Green Thumb Nursery is donating the space for the first few months. “Everything above the G O V E R N M E N T M E E T I N G S T U E S D A Y , J U L Y 1 HOWELL TOWNSHIP PLANNING COMM ISSIO N 7 p.m.Township Hall, 3525 Byron Road, Howell Township.

She’s dynamic and wants to raise money to help people with their health needs.” Jaszkowski says that word of mouth and help from folks at the Whitmore Lake Health Clinic has helped increase donations and sales.

They have reasons to be worried about the club. Ski show director Joy Smith says the club’s numbers have slunnk to 35 people, “the lowest in years.” Unfortunately, the reality is that the glory days of the club, and water skiing in general, are gone. The days of wild tricks with ladders and bikes on the water are over. Today’s club competes against video games and TV, not to mention other sports, a bad economy and high gasoline prices, to find new members. Many people won’t commit to a summer filled with hard work trying to put on a production to impress a couple hundred spectators. . For many folks, skiing is too hard to learn. For some (like me), it’s too hard on an aging body. Depending on your point of view, it’s too dangerous, too time-consuming, too weather-dependent or maybe even the water’s too cold. Skiing is a sport loyally enjoyed by a select few. For the rest of us who don’t live on a lake or own a boat, it’s more fun to take a bumpy tube ride or a leisurely ride on a pontoon than to try to get up on skis. I’m not trying to sink the spirits of those who support the elub. I’m just trying to explain why the club isn’t growing, just persevering. The club’s shows are a wonderful community tradition. The fourth of July celebrations are legendary in Whitmore Lake, and it’s important that the holiday remains special. That’s where the club comes in. If you’re not interested in joining, you can still support the club by attending one of the shows on the open lawn on the water across from the U.S. Post Office on Main Street. That would be the best way to ensure the club continues. The summer shows are scheduled for 7 p.m. June 28 and July 3; 4 p.m. July 4 and 6; and 7 p.m. every Thursday in July. This year’s theme is a spin-off of “Rock ‘n’ Roll High School,” a 1979 musical comedy film featuring The Ramones. “It’s so fun,” member Brandi Preston says of performing. “It’s fun to play with the crowd. You come on shore and the crowd is into it. It makes you feel good about your trick.” The shows are great family entertainment. They’re free, but you shouldn’t think of them that way. Donations will go a long way to keep the club moving forward for next year’s show. And the next. And the next five years after that. The club isn’t the only one attempting to fight off participation problems. I hear the same story from the Liberty Lakes Fencing Club in Howell, the Brighton Horseshoe Club and even the popular Hershey’s Track and Field meet, run by our local recreation departments. The difference is the Whitmore Lake Water Ski club gives back to the community with its shows. Maybe it’s time you returned the favor.

H ow e ll co a ch b u ild s m a jo r clu b Phoenix Soccer mentor stresses sport's skills at an early age 'We want our kids to not only be athletic, but be skillful from the beginning/ Hank Leung, creator of Phoenix Soccer Club B Y J A S O N D E E G A N The Livingston Community News When the soccer club he came to Michigan to form fell apart in 2004, Hank Leung was ready to leave, possibly to move back to Virginia where he had built a world-class resume in teaching the game. Seven young players convinced him to stay. “The rest, as they say, is history,” he says with a laugh. Leung, 60, who lives in Howell Township, has built the Phoenix Soccer Club into a major player in the travel soccer scene. Last week, at tryouts in Lansing and Grand Blanc, the Phoenix attracted enough players - roughly 280 boys and girls ages 7-18 - to create as many as 20 teams for the fall season. Leung has seen the heights of international competition and worked at the professional level, but he says it’s the grass roots of the game that stokes his passions. “For me, it has been the most rewarding aspect of the game, to develop something,” Leung says. “I got tired of erasing people of bad habits when they were older. Why not start from the beginning? The strength of the club is the youth programs at younger ages. That’s exciting to me, raising the bar.” Leung’s resume alone attracts players. ■ Head women’s soccer' coach at George Mason University from 1992-2002, winning a Division I national title in 1995. ■ Assistant for the U.S. women’s national team from 1986-1990. ■ Head coach of the 19- and-under U.S. girls national team. ■ Virginia-Washington, D.C., Soccer Hall of Fame inductee. Hartland Township resident Lisa McNitt says her two children, Brayden, 9, and Chaylynne, 13, “fell in love” with Leung after joining the club. “It is a fluke that he landed in our baclQ^ard,” McNitt says. “We are so IucIq^ that he’s here. “His resume is just amazing, the accomplishments in his career. He is just so genuine. He’s a teacher of the game. He’s phenomenal. That’s a gift.” SEE SOCCER CLUB, 82 P ro fe s s io n a l b o w le r M ik a K o iv u n - ie m i,o f H a r tla n d , is h o s tin g "B ow l w ith th e Pro" le a g u e e v e ry T u e s d a y n ig h t th is s um m e r a t th e B rig h to n B ow l in B rig h to n .

Koivuniemi (pronounced koi-voo-nee-EM-ee) steps up to his lane on a recent Tfresday night and throws what looks like a perfect shot. It leaves a dreaded split, which he can’t covert into a spare. For one frame, anyway, Odum, a Brighton resident, accomplishes the reason he signed up for the summer league. He beat the pro. Everyday bowlers come from around metro Detroit to attempt M ik a K o iv u n iem i, r ig h t , c h um s a r o u n d w i t h h is f e l lo w le a g u e b o w le r s a t t h e B r ig h to n B o w l. Challenging At Brighton Bowl, they take on local PBA star to take down Koivuniemi, a Hartland resident ranked fourth on the Denny’s PBA Tour. This is the second summer the Brighton Bowl has hosted the popular “Bowl With the Pro” Tuesday night league, which has attracted 16 four-person teams. “It’s been great,” Brighton Bowl manager Jeff Tolliver says. “Normally in the summer we don’t have a lot of big leagues.” Brighton resident Shaun Michalak, 23, who works at the alley, says he loves the challenge of the league. Koivuniemi designs the oil patterns on the lanes to make them more like the PBA Tour than average houseleague conditions. “It was one of the best ideas that we’ve come up with as far as a summer league,” Michalak says. “It gives average bowlers like myself, it gives us bowlers a little more idea of the different kinds of adjustments that Mika has to make on TV” Koivuniemi, 41, is fresh off his third-best season on tour, ranking second on the money list with $159,580 in earnings, thanks to an average score of 221.69. After winning the Dydo Japan Cup 2007 in Toyko to start the season for his eighth career PBA title, he qualified for five other TV finals. His year ended with a heartbreaking nearmiss for his third major championship. He settled for second at the 65th Denny’s U.S. Open by eight pins. He admits his game isn’t sharp for the league in the off season. “I try to be like anyone else,” he says. “I just try to have fun. It is not serious bowling for me. I get some comments if they beat me. I’m happy for them if they beat me.” Tom McVey, of Linden, has beaten Koivuniemi twice to earn the small cash jackpot that comes out of the league fees. He says just having Koivuniemi around helps him improve. “Bowling with Mika, trying to play his line makes you better,” he says. “Beating Mika, it’s a feat. He’s a pro. Everybody (in the league) has the same goal. Anybody that wants to go on tour should think twice.” Hamburg Township’s James Paradise, who bowls on Koivuniemi’s team, notices a change in bowlers SEE B OW L IN G , 82 Special Olympics bowling coach on a roll She guides her athletes to gold B Y J A S O N D E E G A N The Livingston Community News Arlene Hovey emphasizes one message every time she works with a Special Olympian new to her bowling team. “I always tell them to keep that arm straight (on the follow through). They all want to cross it over in front of their bodies,” she says. Hovey’s teachings have had an impact on the Area 27 Special Olympics, which includes Livingston County athletes. For the past two years, her athletes have come home with gold medals in the team competition from the Special Olympics Michigan State Summer Games. The 2008 Games, which concluded June 1 in Mount Pleasant, were even more special for Hovey. Not only did the Deerfield Township resident bowl a personal-best 161 and her 16 athletes win gold again, but she was honored as the Area 27 volunteer coach of the year. “She’s a very dependable and great volunteer,” says Anne Rogers, Area 27 director. “She does fundraising and different activities yearround. As bowling coach, she goes the extra mile for the athletes. She brings in sheets with their averages. She gave them (real) pins with their averages on it.” Hovey, who recently wrapped up her seventh year as coach after a nineweek training session, says she got involved with Special Olympics with her son. Josh 17, who attends Hartland schools. He began bowling at age 4. “I just love all the kids, seeing their excitement that they get out of it,”.says Hovey, who works in the cafeteria for the Hartland school district. Special Olympian Sara Cimeot, a 16-year-old Howell resident who attends Hartland High, says Hovey is a good coach. “She’s great. She’s supportive. She’s funny,” Cimeot says.

They get real nervous. That’s normal,” he says. “But Mika makes it nice for everybody. He gives tips.” Brighton’s Adam Agee says the intimidation factor faded since he started bowling against Koivuniemi three years ago at Hartland’s Striking Lanes. “It’s fun to go heads-up against him and try to beat him,” Agee says. “It’s not great odds. He’s so precise. He uses this as practice, and he still whips us.” A busy schedule will force Koivuniemi to miss much of the action the rest of the summer. A rule change will allow professionals to compete in the World Tenpin Bowling Association World Championships in Thailand in August. Koivuniemi, who bowled for Team Finland for 10 years before joining the PBA Tour in 1999, looks forward to representing his country again. He won the tournament as an amateur in 1991. “After 10 years off, it’s a funny feeling going back,” he says. “If I win it, it would be my second title. It’s a big deal.” LON HORWEDELTHE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ Jivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

Girls rugby team wins all-star title Led by eight local players and a local coach, the Michigan Youth Rugby Association Girls Under- 19 All-Star team captured its first-ever title at the Midwest Regional All-Star Tournament in Elkhart, Ind., June 14-15. Livingston County Berserkers coach Jefif Coppes led the All-Stars, who included Jamie Petelin, of South Lyon (who attends Brighton High), Katrina Caruso, of Pinckney, and Kelsey Stanley, Teralyn Edwards and Heather Coppes, all of Brighton, and Sarah Regner, Breanna Okopski and Yvette Pardiac, all of Howell. The Michigan team beat Iowa and Ohio by a combined 57-0. In the finals against Indiana, the two-time champions, Michigan held a goal-line stand to win 14-12. SOCCER CLUB FROM BI C o a c h 's lo v e r o o te d in t h e b a s ic s Brayden says he wants Leung to develop him into a, pro. “He makes practice fun, and he really never gets mad,” he says. “He’s really smart. He trained Mia Hamm.” Leung says the Phoenix takes players “that other clubs have discarded” and helps improve their skills. In just three years, the club placed teams ranked among the state’s top 10, regional top 20 and national top 100, according to the Web site, www. phoenixsoccer.us. “The (younger) teams that have the most athletes win the game,” he says. “What happens is when those kids get to high school, they were never forced to deal with the ball. They are at a loss when they play teams as talented as theirs. We want our kids to not only be athletic, but be skillful from the beginning. We stress skill development and decision- making.” Leung says his younger teams don’t worry about winning games until the U-16 level when college scouts start coming. The club operates year-round with an academy in July and seasons in the fall (August-October), winter (November- March) and spring (April-Jime). “Most people say that when you start a business, if you are around three years, you’ve crossed the hurdle,” he says. “We have. Our growth s p e ^ for itself.” Jason Deegan can be reached atjdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com ' or at 810-844-2012. P r e s e n t s . . .
