Brighton City Council last week approved an agreement with the Brighton Area Schools in which the school district will pay half of the cost of the liaison officer for 60 days. The city has paid the full cost of the program for the last three years, but the 2008-09 city budget did not include an appropriation for the program due to tight cily finances. Now surrounding townships will be asked to help pay for the cost of a liaison officer. If they agree, it would likely save the program for the coming year. It is estimated that 80 percent of the high school’s 2,400 students live outside of the city limits. INSIDE Time to shop HomeGoods opens new store Sunday at Green Oak Village Place.

B1 A2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2008 Hamburg to seek loan to fix wastewater plant Township to apply for $7.7 million from state at low interest BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Hamburg Township likely will apply for a low-interest state loan that will allow it to make improvements to its aging wastewater treatment plant. On liiesday, the township’s Board of IVustees adopted a project plan developed by Stantec Consulting Michigan Inc. I t ’s the first step in seeking a $7.7 million State Revolving F\md loan for a twophase project at the plant. Repairs are needed, township officials said, because discharges fi-om the plant contain levels of sodium, chloride, phosphorus and inorganic nitrogen higher than the state D epartment of Environmental Quality allows and these chemicals are seeping into the groundwater. The project will not expand the system, just upgrade it, they said. “These are not desirable improvements,” said Supervisor Cindy Pine. “They are necessary improvements.” Roughly 80 people attended a public hearing prior to the board’s adoption of the plan. Most of them were concerned with the proposed rate increase that would add roughly $90 per year to their sewer bill during phase one and an additional $80 per year during phase two. The assessments would apply only to the current 2,733 residential users and 387 nonresidential users as state revolving fund loans are not available for growth-oriented projects. The rate increase, according to literature sent to residents, would be needed to repay the 20-year loan. Not necessarily so, said C lerk Joanna Hardesty. She suggested that as the board moves ahead with its application it should consider alternative ways of paying it back, including tapping into a $1 . 2 million sewer equipment reserve fund. “Nearly doubling the rates people pay is outrageous,” Hardesty said. User rates, which haven’t changed in 1 1 years, are $91.50 per quarter per residential equivalency unit. An R E U is a standard measure of sewer and water consumption based on the amount a typical home might use. Talk of raising sewer rates also sparked debate among the board about Pine’s claims that despite what happens with this loan, rates need to be increased to make up a deficiency in the fund that pays for the system’s overall operation and maintenance. Disclosing the state of this fund. Pine said, is an important part of applying for the SRF loan. I t has been suggested to the township by its consultants that quarterly fees be raised from $91.50 to $162.25 to make up for a system that depended on growth to stay solvent. New sewer hook-ups have dropped from 275 in the 2005-06 fiscal year to 25 last year. Pine said. Pine suggested that bringing this fund back in line is the responsibility of the current board. She, Hardesty and TY-easurer Roberta Balon- Vaughn lost their bid for re-election in the Aug. 5 primary election. Rushing a rate increase through before they go out of office Nov. 20, Ha rd esty said, is irresponsible. Balon-Vaughn said Pine’s motivation is to put the heat of this increase on the current board instead of deflecting it to the new one. Applying for the SRF loan is no guarantee that the township will get it, officials said. The project must first qualify and then it would be prioritized with others. Payback ^ wouldn’t start until project completion, which consultants estimated would be 2 0 1 0 for the first phase.

The Livingston Community News Residents living along East Sibley Street in Howell are still months away from having to dodge orange construction barrels, but funds for the project already have been committed by the d fy ($1 . 1 million,) the federal government ( $ 1 miilion) and the Howell Downtown Development Authority-Main Street Program ($670,000). The $2.7 million project is slated to begin in March. According to Deputy City Manager Terry Wilson, the exp e d ite timetable is required for projects that jeceive funding through the state Department of TVansportation. “We’re on track for an M-DOT project,” he said. Wilson hopes to start the project in March, at least the first of two phases, so that utility work, street reconstruction and landscaping can all be completed in one construction season. Work finm South Michigan Avenue to Fowler Street ^ likely make up the project’s first phase, leaving the eastern stretch to Nation^ Street last so that traffic along the city’s truck route is kept open as long as possible. The project’s scope was set by area residents, business JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS A view of East Sibley Street from the southeast corner of South Michigan Avenue. Parking Lot No. 1, to the left, w ill have one access point off East Sibley Street. Traffic islands will be strategically placed to slow traffic. owners and community leaders striving to accommodate parkihg, slow down the traffic and improve the area’s aesthetics. 'The result will include decorative concrete crosswalks along East Sibley Street at Barnard and Fowler streets, traffic islands between McCarthy and North Court streets, increased street parking throughout the area and-a traffic island in front of Southeast E lementary School. Three curb cuts into Parking Lot No. 1, behind First National Bank, will be eliminated and a crosswalk established into the Howell City Hall parking lot from vacant land north of St. Joseph Catholic Church. Future plans call for a lighted courtyanl to be c r e a t^ on that land, which until recently had a house on it. The Catholic church bought the property and demolish^ the home. According to Wilson, church leaders were looking to provide additional parking for their parishioners. 'The two groups have been working together to provide more p a rto g , without changing the character of the existing neighborhood. The East Sibley Street project, part of citywide effort to improve and maintain quality streets, was identified s e v e r i years ago, Wilson said. The project was accelerated when Howell officials heard they were getting a financial boost to complete the project from the Huron Valley Federal Aid Committee, of which Howell is a part. The group splits $1 . 6 million every three years between communities that apply for funds. The next window of opportunity will come in 2 0 1 2 , and the city is already eyeing funds to complete West Sibley Street. When asked if now is the best time to spend money in light of the stagnant economy, Wilson said, “this is a window of opportunity for us.” This “fi^e money” as Wilson described the grant, will allow the city to address a street that was identified more than five years ago as one in need of repair. Once rebuilt, he believes the road, if maintained, will last up to 30 years, and the $627,000 in landscaping improvements will beautify the area.

Local projects move ahead Updates offered on new hospital, rail line BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community A/ews Plans for a new hospital are moving ahead, more road work is on the horizon and a commuter rail service has a good chance of succeeding. That was the assessment of local officials who offered an update earlier this week on several major public projects in the Howell area. They spoke 'lYiesday morning during the inaugui^ session of the “Good Morning Livingston” series sponsor^ by the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce. New hospital Dr. Doug Edema, vice president and chief operating officer of the St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital, reviewed the plans for a proposed new hospital south of Howell in Marion Township. I t was announced in July that a tentative purchase agreement had been reached for the 230-acre, former Marion Oaks Golf Club property. Edema assured his audience that despite the planned move. Saint Joseph Mercy Health System will continue to improve the existing hospital in Howell. “We are continuing to provide updated technology,” he said, citing state-of-the-art digital mammography and C'T scanning devices being added. Edema also said the hospital “is now a (primary) stroke center,” certified by the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, indicating it adheres to the highest standards of care for stroke patients. Edema said hospital officials are “excited about the location,” but reminded the audience that the move, which is still tentative, would not take place for three to five years. Road work Howell City Manager Shea Charles gave an update on Howell infrastructure projects, including D-19 (Pinckney Road) north of 1-96, which is on target for completion “late this fall,” with street widening, a boulevard, decorative street lighting, brick pavers and landscaping in a $3.3 million project. The city is still working out environmental issues with the Michigan Department of Transportation on a re-do of the I-96/D-19 interchange and the Loop Road project, he said. Charles said the $35 million M-59 reconstruction and widening project, from 1-96 in Howeil Township to east of Fairlawn Drive in Howell, is set for completion in late fall. He added that the Crosstown TY’ail, a biking and walking path along M-59 is nearly complete. Commuter rail Charles said he believed that the commuter rail line between Howell and Ann Arbor - called WALLY - has a good chance of becoming a reality. Although there are capital funding issues, Charles said, “we are looking at a m yriad of funding options and the mayor, City Council and (Downtown Development Authority) have a special desire to commit funds,” he said. Once funding becomes available, WALLY could be operational “in 12-16 months.” Charles said of the four commuter rail line proposals in Michigan, WALLY “is the only one that can get going in that amount of time.” Tom Tolen can be reached at ttoien@ iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009.

Meeting in a special session Monday before about 30 residents, the township’s Board of Thistees voted unanimously to follow its attorney’s advice and file the appeal. It follows the _ Aug. 26 Michigan Court of ^ - W pe^s denial of the township’s appeal of a Livingston County Circuit Court ruUng favoring the Hendee family, which owns the land and wants to sell it for development. The vote was made with- ^ out discussion after a lengthy " closed session with Township Attorney 'Thomas Meagher. The appellate court voted 2-1 to uphold Circuit Court Judge David Reader’s May 2006 rising that the development is a reasonable use for the land at Swarthout Road and County Road D-19. Meagher said his recommendation for appeal is based on the lone dissenting opinion of appellate Judge Pat M. Donofrio. Appealing to the Supreme Court involves some township risk. The court could choose not to hear the appeal. If that happens, the appellate court’s ruling that the case go back to Reader and that he prohibit the township from interfering with the Hendees’ proposed use of their property would stand. “Having a manufactured housing community on this property is far more rislg^ for this township in what it would do to our community,” said Ihustee Jeff Buerman. That sentiment was echoed by most of the nine people who spoke during public comments. Many of them are neighbors of the property who said they worried mobile homes would attract unsavory residents, and that such a large development would overburden roads, schools and other township services. Appellate Judges David H. Sawyer and William B. Murphy upheld Reader’s opinion that the township’s agricultural open space zoning district is exclusionary and unconstitutional for this land, and that the township practiced “evident game playing” by designating land for mobile homes and then removing it in master plans in favor of 80 acres of land “clearfy unsuitable” for them near the village of Pinckney. Donofiio disagreed, saying in his written opinion that the case is “unripe” for judicial review because Jeff Hendee, M ichael Hendee and Louann Demorest Hendee did not present plans for the mobile home community to the township before taking the case to court. The sbc-year battle between the township and the Hendees and Marcus Yono of Village Point Development started with a request that the land be rezoned fi’om minimum 1 0 - acre parcels to 1 -acre lots for a 95-home planned unit development. When that was denied by the township, they immediately sued for the manufactured home community. Donofrio wrote that he was unwilling to accept that exclusionary zoning exists in the township just because it has not designated certain land uses in its boundaries. And he wrote that there was no proven demonstrated need for manufactured housing in the area. Donofiio also agreed with the township’s claims that though he was employed as a planner, Brian Frantz, an expert witness for the Hendees, was not qualified to testify regarding the need for manufactured housing in the township and his testimony should be disqualified. The township has spent more than $2 0 0 , 0 0 0 so far in fighting the lawsuit. Its insurance provider stopped paying the bills at $100,000. The appellate court ruling also supported Reader’s order that the township reimburse the Hendees nearly $45,000 for the cost of court depositions and expert witnesses. Mike Hendee said he is disappointed that the township is continuing the case. “I thought after two rounds of losses, the board would wake up and smell the roses,” he said. There's no contract in sight for Pinckney school teachers Sides can't agree on raises, health care BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News While meetings continue, contract negotiations between Pinckney Community Schools teachers and the district’s Board of Education seem to be at a stalemate. Both sides agree salaries and health insurance are the main stumbling blocks. The board says the district’s budget, strapped by declining student enrollment, can’t fund raises and a major hike in health care costs. The teachers are bringing in an analyst from the state’s largest teachers union that says otherwise. Michigan Education Association financial analyst Arch Lewis wiU present his findings during a public forum at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Pinckney Community High School auditorium, 10255 Dexter-Pinckney Road. Lewis said that after reviewing five years of the district’s financial audits, Pinckney schools aren’t as “broke” as officials say. “We’re hoping this will shed some light on our perspective,” said Mimi Katakowski, a Earley Hill Elementary School teacher and president of the Pinckney Education Association teachers union. “The anal3^is says that if the district plans appropriately, it has the ability to settle our contract and fund a fair and equitable contract. That’s all we want.” Lewis’ findings, Katakowski said, suggest that the district could do more long-term planning and spend “discretionary” funds with teachers as the first priority. These funds are being used for athletics, community education, paying off debt and other things, school officials said, adding that Lewis’ view is slanted by his affiliation with theMEA. Pinckney’s 267 teachers have been without a contract since August 2007. A state mediator has been involved since late July. “We’ve made counter proposals to what the board has presented, but they are being met with little interest,” Katakowski said. Health care costs are a major issue, said Brian Higgins, the district’s assistant superintendent of personnel. Two years ago, teachers switched finm the MEA-operated Michigan Education Special Services Association (MESSA) insurance program to Blue Cross Blue Shield Flexible Blue PPO, which Katakowski estimates saved the district more than $ 1 million. Rates for the Flexible Blue program jumped about 34 percent last March when the district had budgeted only a 7 percent increase, Higgins said. With the exception of the teachers, all Pinclmey school employees receiving health insurance have switched to a new P riority Health insurance program that fits within the district’s budget, he said. No other employees are receiving raises this year, and buildings and grounds workers agreed to a 2.7 percent pay cut to help avoid the privatizing of their jobs, Higgins said. To date, Pinckney teachers are the only teachers in Livingston County to switch away from MESSA coverage. Katakowski said they would like to go back, adding that she believes the rate increases with MESSA were not as steep as those from Flexible Blue.

The contract for the 16 hourly workers, represented by Teamsters Union Local 214, ejqaired in June. Salaried city employees already are und er a wage freeze, imposed last month by the city. Officials are working to schedule a contra c t reopening w ith the c ity ’s 14-member clerical union th at would likewise include a wage freeze and o ther modifications. The cle rical w orkers’ contract expires next June. A wage fi^eze cannot be imposed on a union, as it can on salaried employees, said city labor attorney Dennis Gabrian. Under the new DPS contract, retroactive to July 1, the workers receive no increase this year, but will get a 1.25 percent increase the second year and 1.5 percent the third year. With the city facing rising health care costs, DPS employees also were asked to change health insurance carriers, Gabrian said. The union, instead, gave up scheduled pension benefit improvements. Gabrian said the city wanted the workers to contribute 5 percent of the premium cost. Starting pay for a utility employee is $13.98 per hour, with the top rate $22.61 for a plant operator or equipment operator. T he city also is involved in negotiations with its police command officers union, which is represented by the Michigan Association of Police. The unit includes one lieutenant and four sergeants. That contract expired in June. A l l t h a t s n i f f l i n g a n d c r y i n g i s n ’t b e c a u s e s c h o o l s t a r t e d .

A4 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2008 HARDESTY FROM A1 Hamburg clerk: Skiba's campaign consisted of attacks Democratic nominee Debby Buckland, who earned a spot on the November ballot as a successful August write-in candidate. “The more I thought about it, the more I knew I couldn’t walk away without a fight,” Hardesty said. “All he did was attack me instead of focusing on w hat he could bring to the job.” Skiba declined to comment on H ardesty’s announcement other than to say he was blindsided by h er decision and the public support she received. Running as a write-in can be a challenge. Instead of just fiUing in the oval next to a candidate’s name on the ballot, those voting for a write-in candidate must write in the name of that candidate under the correct office heading and fill in the oval next to it. “I know I have a tough job ahead of me, but I believe there is community support behind me and I think my chances are good,” Hardesty said. “I can’t let the people of this community down by not bringing out the truth about what we all stand to lose.” Before the primary election, SMba was vocally critical of Hardesty’s character. He cited a 2003 lawsuit filed against the township Police Department by her husband and son that she was not a party to that eventually w ent to the U.S. Court of Appeals before being tossed out. He filed a complaint of malicious destruction of property with Hamburg police following a July “meet the candidates” forum at Hamburg Township Hall, saying that Hardesty or her supporters placed an Allen wrench under his car to flatten a tire. SMba also accused Ha rd esty or her supporters of threatening and intimidating local business owners who supported his run for clerk by displaying his campaign signs in front of their businesses. SMba called this an act of “terrorism,” something Hardesty said was especially hurtful given that two of her sons have served in the military in Bosnia and Iraq. While Hardesty said she chose to ignore all of the attacks before the primary, she plans to hold SMba accountable for his allegations now. “I challenge you to respond with anything other than another unfounded attack against me,” she said about SMba. Hardesty reminded residents that SMba is maMng court-ordered payments to Chase Bank USA resulting from a suit the bank filed against him last year alleging that he made charges he BILLBOARD FROM A1 State official says sign 'could be illegal' Nielsen’s gift, however, came with several restrictions, including one that allows him to maintain control of the billboard. Now that the billboard, on public property, carries a political message it could violate state campaign finance law, said Michigan Secretary of State spokesman Ken Silfven. While Silfven was reluctant to address the specifics of this billboard, he said that if an individual puts a campaign sign on public property - such as in front of a township hall - it “could potentially be illegal, according to Section 57 of the Campaign Finance Act, which prohibits use of public resources for a campaign,” Silfven said. T hat section says that “A public body ... shall not use or authorize the use of funds, personnel, office space, computer hardware or software, property, stationery, postage, vehicles, equipment, supplies, or other public resources to make a contribution...” Silfven said local governments need to be extremely careful about such things. “Anytime you use public resources for a campaign,” he said, “that could be a red flag.” At least one local official now thinks the township made a mistake accepting the land with the deed restrictions. Genoa Township Clerk Polly Skolarus said she is “not pleased” with the campaign ad on township property. “The restriction wasn’t discussed at the board table, and I wasn’t aware of that,” Skolarus said. “Maybe I should have (read the deed). I ’m too trusting of everybody,” the clerk said. “I don’t have a problem with Mike Rogers, but it doesn’t look good for Genoa Township,” added Skolarus, who like the rest of the board is a Republican. “It appears they’re endorsing a candidate when they’re not.” Livingston County Democratic Party Chairwoman Judy Daubenmeier agreed w ith that assessment, saying up to 2 0 people have complained to her about the sign. Daubenmeier said she is unsure what action, if any, the party will take. “I ’ve talked to a couple of attorneys about it and right now w e’re still reviewing our options,” she said. Township Supervisor Gary McCririe acknowledged he had “a smattering” of complaints about the sign, but also said he has no problem with a stipulation that Nielsen be allowed use of the billboard in perpetuity. “Neal Nielsen was generous enough to donate the land, and I don’t know if it would have been appropriate to attach conditions to his donation” said McCririe, who also is chairman of the Brighton Area F ire Authority board. But attach conditions is just what Nielsen did. The deed states that Nielsen has unlimited access to the billboard and the ability to “maintain, change, alter, upgrade, improve and utilize the existing structures and billboards.” I f the township reneges, then title to the property reverts to Nielsen. The land also reverts to Nielsen if it is no longer used as a fire station or if the building is not, as stipulated in the deed, “named the Nielsen F ire Station (with the name) prominently displayed on the exterior front of the building.” Nielsen, who has made campaign contributions to Rogers in the past, declined comment when contacted by The News. Daubenmeier is upset that public property is being used in a campaign, but also concerned about he deed restrictions. “The really egregious part is if (Nielsen) loses the right to use the sign, the fire station can’t be used, and the people of Genoa Township lose th eir fire station,” Daubenmeier said.” Livingston County E lection Supervisor Joan Runyan said while the perception that campaign signs on public property create is “not good, it ’s up to the local jurisdiction (township, city, village or county) to deal with the situation with local ordinances.” Runyan added that on election day, campaign signs and literature are legal at polling locations such as fire stations, but may be no closer than 1 0 0 feet to the center where people vote. The new fire station is not a polling place. Sylvia Warner, Rogers’ press secretary, said she didn’t have an opinion about the sign, saying it was the first she had heard of it.

WINCHEL FROM A1 He stayed involved even in final weeks event, “ (but) Jim and Gloria (his wife) insisted, and it shows their love.” Jim and Gloria Winchel had expressed a desire for the event to go on as a fundraiser for the Gleaners Community Food Bank, their favorite charity. The Winchels got their wish; The benefit raised more than $2 0 , 0 0 0 for the food bank and its Shared Harvest Pantry. Winchel’s many friends said p rivately they felt he was present, in spirit, for a good cause. “Jim opened and closed every day thinking about other people,” said Erica Karfonta, Gleaners’ Livingston County Director of Operations, who fought back tears as she talked about a m an she called her mentor. “H e made the last two years of his life a testimonial to his faith,” said close friend Scott Griffith. “H e was about what can we do together (as communities),” said former Howell mayor Paul Rogers. “He was very honest, very committed to his community and church, just a wonderful man.” “ (Winchel) was a natural community leader and had a unique way of building consensus,” said Brighton City Manager Dana Foster. Wmchel, who owned Colt Park Insurance agency, demonstrated his commitment to Brighton in the final weeks by remaining an active member of the Brighton City Planning Commission and Downtown Development Authority. He attended meetings, in a wheelchair when it became necessary, with his oxygen tank in tow. The Indiana native served the city for a quarter-century on innumerable boards, committees and commissions. In 1964, as a new member of the community, Winchel became involved in the L ivingston Players community theater group. It was a serendipitous move. He met his future wife, Gloria, and the couple was married for 35 years, with three adopted children and 1 0 grandchfldren. Wmchel eventually became involved in local government, serving on City Council from 1983 until 1999, including three terms as mayor. He also served on the DDA starting in 1993, served on the Planning Commission and the Work Skills board, was a co-chairman of the Livingston County United Way and on the Gleaners Shared Harvest Pantry board. He was also an elder in the First Presbyterian Church of Brighton. In an interview with The News last week, Winchel re fused to take any credit for Brighton’s morphing from a small town to a vibrant community with wide appeal. “I t ’s not what I have done, but what the community as a whole has done,” he said, while crediting city staff and the council for helping accomplish the transformation. Saying he championed “good” development versus “any” development, Winchel said “it benefits the developer and the community.” Realizing his death might be near, the Brighton City Council honored Winchel at its Aug. 18 meeting, naming the pavilion next to city hall the Winchel Pavilion, with a bronze plaque citing his service to the community to be permanently mounted on the front wall. The council also presented a plaque to the Winchel family, saying, in part, “The city of Brighton honors James A. Winchel for his years of dedication to the c ity ... J im ’s leadership and judgment is evident in the quality of life in the city of Brighton.” “The man has made such an impact on me,” said Steve Monet, another former mayor. “I f there was anyone I would model my life after, it would be J im Winchel.” Fhneral services for Winchel are scheduled for 10 a.m. today at Brighton’s F irst Presbyterian Church. Arrangements are being handled by the Herrmann F\ineral Home in Brighton.

Public comments from residents on Tuesday also revealed that SMba’s family owes the township more than $600 from a time when he and his wife w ere members of the township fire department. Township officials said a contract was signed by SMba’s wife agreeing that she would serve with the department for a certain amount of time in return for training. She left before that time had expired, resulting in the issuance of a bill to cover the training costs, officials said.

Spokesman Phil Tracey said the 24,000-square-foot Livingston County store will have approximately 60 fulland part-time employees and is expected to draw from a 50- to 100-mile radius around Brighton. The store will open at 8 a.m. Green Oak Village Place is on the east side of the US-23 at the Lee Road interchange just south of Brighton. Tracey said the company does not use a set geographic formula to determine store placement, but looks instead at specific markets. “We just have a strong customer base in this area,” he added, explaining the location. “I t ’s a perfect place for Home- Goods.” In preparing for their grand opening early this week associates and managers were busy putting final touches on displays including plenty of seasonal goods for Halloween, as well as the usual specialty kitchen goods, rugs, baskets and other homewares. The company gets weekly shipments of items from all over the world, causing displays and goods to change on a regular basis. Tracey said in most cases, similar goods are sold at all HomeGoods, but there are times when largeticket items - such as a re cently sold sauna - were put in select markets. Tracey said the Green Oak store is about average in size for a typical HomeGoods outlet. The chain was founded in 1992 and sells homewares at a discount of typically 20-60 percent. Since its inception, the store has built a loyal customer base and considers itself a “destination” retail JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Linda Ignash of Genoa Township stocks shelves this week as staff prepares the new HomeGoods store to open Sunday at Green Oak Village Place.

Special grand opening day hours Sunday will be from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.; regular store hours will be Monday-Saturday, 9:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. Counting the new Green Oak location, there are 10 HomeGoods stores in the metro Detroit market and more than 300 in 34 states around the country. Home- Goods is a division of The T JX Companies Inc. In the U.S., T JX operates TJ Maxx, Marshalls and A.J. Wright Stores. “HomeGoods adds another dimension to the shopping center,” said mall manager Sean Valentino. “I t ’s going to be an added draw to the center. It w ill help us continue to lease space.” Valentino said that there is another 40,000 square feet of future tenant space being completed to the west of HomeGoods that could either house another large tenant or could be divided into smaller retailers. Elsewhere at Green Oak Village Place, construction is under way for a 6,800-squarefoot Broadway Steak and Seafood restaurant that could open late this year or in early 2009 and The Family Puppy, a retail puppy store with a party room that works with local nonprofit animal agencies to place cats, kittens and puppies, is preparing to open in the next several weeks. The $100 million, 550,000- square-foot shopping center opened two years ago. Valentino has said he hopes to have the center fully leased in early 2009.

The two-pronged arts event is set for Saturday, Sept. 20, at the shopping mall off Lee Road at US-23. Beginning at 3 p.m., there will be a dedication of the sculpture park, which takes place in the mall parking lot between Dick’s Sporting Goods and Callahan’s. “We’ve been working on the sculpture park for three years,” says John Sauve, organizer of the event and the curator of the first Brighton Biennial sculpture exhibit. “We’ll be dedicating 10 sculptures that come from around the country, and they are all very significant works. The unique thing is that they’re each attached to a large granite boulder to tie them into the landscape.” Sauve, along with McKenna Associates, a Northville-based landscape architecture firm, were recently given the 2008 M e rit Award by the American Society of Landscape Architects for exceptional landscape design for the project. There will be tours of the sculptures, maps of the park for children, a moon walk, photo contest and prizes. At the same time, nonprofit organizations from Livingston County will be exhibiting information in display tents. “We thought this would be a great way for the nonprofits to share and exchange ideas,” says Sauve. “I t ’s a way for the people at Green Oak and myself to support the community and its organizations.” At dusk, the Brighton International Film Festival, also organized by Sauve, gets under way in the parking lot where a big screen will be set up, as well as seating. As many as 15 short independent films will be shown. A highlight of the festival is a film called “Austin’s Movie,” th e true story of an 8 -year-old boy from Brighton named Austin Smith, who is autistic, and is passionate about the sculptures in downtown Brighton. Tim Nagae directed the film, which runs 18 minutes. Following the films, there will be a fundraiser at O’Callahan’s that includes a silent auction and is open to the public. m BEFORE GET SMART ] 2:45 3:45 6:45 9:20 PG13 KUNG FU PANDA 1:00 3:00 5:00 PC INDIANA JONES UD DE 0M»DM OF TK GOTm iW. 7:00 9:40 P613 THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR 1:20 4:207:20 9:50 PG13 HANCOCK 1:30 3:30 5:30 7:30 9:40 PG13 |i I'Hill I II h l l 'l i l I I I I ' T h e u n i q u e t h i n g is t h a t t h e y ' r e e a c h a t t a c h e d t o a l a r g e g r a n i t e b o u l d e r t o t i e t h e m i n t o t h e l a n d s c a p e .

W W W A6 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2008 Pinckney-area seniors get a center in Putnam Twp. Township donated use o f old hall BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News After bouncing around sbc or seven places in nearly 30 years, Pinckney-area senior citizens finally have a place of their own. Meals are being served, lives are being celebrated and activities are under way now at the new Putnam Township Senior Citizen Center in the old Putnam Township Hall at 131 S. Howell St. in downtown Pinckney. It is by no means a new building, but about six weeks of renovations have given the 125-year-old structure a new look. “This tops every place we’ve been in,” said Raymond Sampler, a Putnam Township senior who helped with the work. “We will have more freedom to open when we want and close when we want.” The seniors had been meeting since 2001 in a 25-foot-by- 40-foot classroom in the former Village Education Center, 125 Putnam St., Pinckney. While there, they had to abide by school hours. “The school was one of the best places w e’ve had and the people there were very good to us,” said Ethel Spencer of Pinckney, an active senior. “But this is pretty exciting. We’ve waited a long time for a place of our own.” Pinckney Community Schools closed Village Education Center this summer for budgetary reasons. OfKevin Dobis puts up the new Putnam Township Senior Citizen Center sign, as Karl Burg holds the ladder and Jerry Slaughter helps.The seniors have a new home in the former township hall in downtown Pinckney. ANGELA SPOONER. THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS AT LEFT: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITYNEWS ABOVE: ANGELA SPOONER,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITYNEWS It was crowded and cluttered as a township hall, left, but the building on South Howell Street in Pinckney has been remodeled and reconfigured, above, to give area senior citizens a bright new home of their own. ficials allowed the seniors to stay there, though, until this facility was completed at the end of August. “That was very nice of them,” Spencer said, “I t ’s also very nice to see that this building will continue being used. We’re carrying on its tradition as a public building.” Putnam Township moved its offices from this building to a new larger one at 3280 W. M-36 in April, paving the way for the senior center to move in. Township Trustee Kevin Dobis helped with the renovation, which included knocking out walls to open up the main space and adding a new kitchen and two bathrooms, all of which are accessible to the disabled. “Bob Hollister would be proud,” Dobis said. “I t was his goal when he got elected four years ago to do something for our senior citizens. We’ve helped keep his promise.” Dobis ran for trustee when Hollister, a longtime trustee himself, was elected supervisor in 2004. Hollister died from pancreatic cancer in 2005. While the township donated the use of the building, the seniors raised about $5,000 toward its renovation. The township has appropriated an additional $1 0 , 0 0 0 from its capital improvement fund to make sure the work is completed and money is there for future maintenance. While this building is about the same size as the one it just moved from, the seniors believe because the space is theirs alone, it will allow for more flexibility that will draw more seniors through its doors. “This has tru ly been a la bor of love all around,” said J e rry Slaughter, a senior citizen from Hell. “ We are truly blessed with this facility.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. Howell library forgiving fines in exchange for food BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News I f every person who curren tly owed a lib ra ry fine to the Howell Carnegie D istric t L ib ra ry were to bring in a nonpersishable food item, anyone who wanted to check out a book would have to scale a wall of cans. The upstairs movie section would have to slide over to make way for the cereal, and seating areas would be full of pasta products ra th e r than people. “We can safely say that over 1 0 , 0 0 0 items would be collected if everyone who had a fine came in and brought an item for the Food for Fines,” said lib ra ry D ire c to r Kathleen Zaenger. She is talking about the fine forgiveness program set for Sept. 16-30, th at a llows patrons to donate food in lieu of paying lib ra ry fines for overdue materials. One can or box of food will count for $ 1 in fines. The re is no lim it, but participants must bring th e ir goods to the circulation desk. Items w ill be given to G le an e r’s Community Food Bank to benefit Livingston County residents in need. The Food for Fines p ro gram was conceived more than six months ago as lib ra ry staff decided how to introduce an upgraded comp ute r system that no longer assesses daily late fees for overdue materials. “We don’t want to h in d er people from using the lib ra ry ,” Zaenger said. Instead, patrons w ill be assessed $ 1 a fte r 1 0 days, and another $ 1 for the next 10 days. But th at doesn’t mean that people don’t have to bring items back, Zaenger stressed. The new system also is set up to e-mail rem ind e r notices to patrons starting th ree days before items are due and will allow people to reserve ma teria ls , receive notices of new books and more. “I t ’s v e ry user friendly and w ill look much more like Amazon and Google,” said Zaenger.

It may have the sound of a political campaign, but it’s a connected to a campaign of a different sort. I t ’s the slogan of the United Way’s fundraising effort. The Livingston County United Way used it to kick off its annual fall fundraising drive at a breakfast last week. There was a “Live United” video and “Live United” T-shirts. The thrust of the campaign is that by living - and giving - together in Livingston County we can meet the basic needs of those who are struggling to make ends meet. While the need here is growing, “the problems here are still small enough that we can fix them,” declared Piet Lindhout, chairman of the Livingston United Way board of directors. Lindhout and other speakers outlined the agency’s work, which is targeting its fundraising this year on programs that focus on basic needs. So, some agencies have had funding trimmed as priorities have shifted. Lindhout and other campaign officials emphasized how donations are leveraged through grants and other programs to turn every $ 1 donated into $1.87 in impact for the United Way. Donors who give through an employer with a matching gift program can turn each $ 1 donation into more than $3 for the United Way. The fundraising effort is being led this year by a team of five honorary chairmen, each representing a different community within the county. Those leaders are; ■ Scott Maly, president of TG Fluid Systems USA Corp., the Brighton area. ■ John Moyer, president of Asahi Kasei Plastics North America, the Fowlerville area. ■ Tom Lehman, plant manager of Metaldyne 'Tubular Products, the Hamburg- Pinckney area. ■ Peter Swallow, chief executive officer of Swallow & Associates, the Hartland area. ■ Paul Mueller, president of Citizens Insurance Co., the Howell area. Early efforts show that the community is stepping up to the plate, even in this time of corporate downsizing and job losses in many employment sectors. The Day of Caring last month, when volunteers tackle projects in the community in a one-day blitz, involved at least 1 0 0 more volunteers than the year before. Those volunteers tackled 30 percent more projects than in 2007. They did everything from painting and pacMng food boxes to visiting with seniors and sprucing up school yards. The goal this year is to increase the number of people who give to the United Way and, in the process, raise more than $ 1 million to help fund everything from the 2 - 1 - 1 information and referral system to the Gleaners Community Food Bank. Lindhout said it best as he wrapped up the kickoff m eeting that included about 2 0 0 people from all parts of the county: “I urge you to get out there and show people we can make a difference.” I ’m pleased to report that the United Way campaign at our office is complete and our pledge forms have been turned in. If you’d like more information about how the United Way works in Livingston County, call the office at 810-494-3000 or visit www.lcunitedway. org.

Hamburg History Days replaces the Hamburg Festival & Railroad Days that took place for seven years. “We really wanted to get back to our goal of showing different periods of history in the township,” said Suzanne Hines, director of the Hamburg Historical Museum and president of the Hamburg Historical Society. Railroad Days featured very popular excursion train rides, but they were expensive. Initially, the train cost $1 0 ,0 0 0 , which had to be covered entirely by ticket sales, Hines said. Last year, the price dropped to $2,600, charged by organizers of the proposed Washtenaw and Livingston commuter rail line, but even that seemed a little too risty to repeat this year, she said. “Riel costs are up and the economy is down,” Hhies said. “We were concerned that people wouldn’t be willing to pay for the train rides. And we don’t have a big volunteer group to do it. We only have seven active members.” Hines believes those who visit Hamburg History Days will find just as much enjoyment. Costumed Civil War soldiers in front of the museum at 7225 Stone St. will demonstrate what camp life was like. Other presentations will depict what life was like in Livingston County during the Civil War, the role of quilts in the Underground Railroad and the rules Rqn Peapples of Hamburg checks out a 1968 Chevy Camaro 55 owned by George Thur of Hamburg during a past year's festival.The car • show is an annual part of Hamburg's fall celebration. governing mourning clothing and behavior.

Reproductions of a Civil Warera IM gown and day dress will be on display in the museum, as will artifacts on loan from Joyce DeWolf Terry, the greatgranddaughter of DeWolf, one of at least 50 Hamburg men who served in Company E of the 26th Michigan Infantry. Terry has loaned a diary her great-grandfather kept during his service, a sewing kit he carried in his wallet, medals he earned, his discharge papers and more. “People should come on down and check it out,” Hines said. “We’re tiying to be as cost-conscious as possible. We know families like outings but they don’t have a lot of money to spend on them.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2008 www.mlive.com/livingstoncommunitynews A bull-riding competitor hangs on during the 2007 Helluva Rodeo. Sunday is the sixth annual event, hosted byTMZ Farms to benefit local projects and organizations that support youth. This year's primary beneficiary will be the Pinckney Community Schools Instrumental Music Boosters. FILE: JIM JAGDFELD, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Rodeo lassoes bucks for band Event will benefit several youth organizations BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Restricted budgets and limitations in state financing are causing more parents and volunteers to raise funds themselves for school programs they hold near and dear. Few know this better than the Pinckney Community Schools Instrumental Music Boosters. The group helps buy music, repair instruments and pay for music camps and out-of-state trips for bands and orchestras. The boosters’ major fundraiser every year is the Helluva Cruise, a classic car cruise from Pinckney Community High School to the hamlet of Hell. But this year, they’ll get an extra boost from another Hell-based event: the Helluva Rodeo. The sixth annual rodeo is set for Sunday at Kevin and Renee MacRitchie’s TMZ Farm, 2324 Patterson Lake Road. Gates open at 9 a.m. While the boosters are the major beneficiary of this year’s proceeds, the Friends of the Lakelands Trail and local Girl Scouts participating in the Mackinac Island Honor Guard also will receive some of the proceeds. “Of all the groups that made presentations to us this year, the music boosters showed the greatest need and the greatest ability to provide volunteers to help with the rodeo,” said Renee MacRitchie, a S E E RODEO, A 4 F lo o d in g w o r s e n s a t O r e L a k e BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Hamburg Township officials stepped up a sandbagging operation on Ore L ^ e earlier this week after forecasts indicated flooding from the Huron River could be worse than previously expected. A National Weather Service flood warning there remains in effect, even as sunny skies returned to the area. However, the weather service’s estimate on how high the river could rise went up about a half foot 'Riesday morning. Instead of an expected crest of 7.3 feet, new predictions were that the river would hit 8 feet by early today before holding steady through the weekend and slowly dropping off after that. Flood stage is 6.5 feet. By early Wednesday morning, water had risen to 7.5 feet. Water was discharging slowly, said Hamburg Township Supervisor Cindy Pine, adding that weeds in the river could be causing a clog. Getting the water to flow is a major priority, she said. Tliesday’s change in predictions came as no surprise to Jim 'Tisch, a 22-year resident on Riverside Drive, one of the areas hit hardest when the river reached 8.13 feet in May 2004. ‘Tou watch the ripples,” said Tisch, whose fi^nt yard was covered by about a foot of water 'Ifiesday afternoon. “As long as they’re coming in, the water is going to keep rising.” Tisch and his wife suffered $11,000 in damages during the flood four years ago. They spent that plus some on improvements afterward that he hopes are going to prevent things fi*om getting that bad this time. “The water is over the first step of the deck,” 'Tisch said. “As long as it doesn’t go higher than the second one, we’ll be OK” Jeff and Alicia Nelson moved into their home on the shores of Hamburg Township’s Ore Lake about two weeks ago fully understanding that the water they love to see out the window sometimes creeps a little too close to home. For them that day came Monday. S E E HAMBURG, A 4 LEANNE SMITH.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Jim Tisch, who's lived on Hamburg Township's Ore Lake for 22 years, is hoping the improvements he made after the last big flood in 2004 will help stave off this week's rising water. By Tuesday afternoon the water in his front yard was about a foot deep, but it hadn't seeped into the crawl space under the house.

Red Cross headquarters devastated by floods Agency that usually helps others now asks for assistance BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News The American Red Cross, typically one of the first agencies on the scene after any disaster, is now asking the community for help as it strugjes to get back on its feet after flood waters damaged its office in Howell last weekend. “We’re encouraging cash donations,” said Diane Serra, executive director of the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross..

Pinckney welcomes African Children's Choir JESSICA MCINTYRE,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Church, school district host visit and concert by Ugandan group BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Most of the time, people in Pinckney and Uganda are a million miles apart. This week, they got a little closer through one of the main things they have in common - children. Pinckney Community Schools and Pinckney’s Community Congregational United Church of Christ welcomed the 12 boys and 14 girls of the African Children’s Choir to town on Tuesday with a trip to a playground and a potluck dinner. The main reason for the visit was the choir’s Wednesday performance at the Jane Tasch Performing Arts Theatre, which included African songs and dancing, spirituals and contemporary tunes. But the lasting impression likely will be what the 8- to 10-year-old choir members taught local residents about themselves, said Amanda Peters, a 16-year-old Pinckney Community High School junior and member of her school’s choir. “This is one of the best things to ever happen in Pinckney,” she said. “It’s such a small town that we rarely get to experience anything like this.” Peters was among a host of Pinckney High students who played with the children at the Village Education Center playgroimd S E E CHOIR, A 4 INDEX Achievers A6 Calendar A7 Livingston Life A5-7 Property sales map A8 Rick Fitzgerald's column AS Sc rapbook A6 Sports B1-B2 Volunteers A8 To report news or for free home delivery call (810)844-2000.

The session is set for 6 p.m. in the Howell High School auditorium. The street improvements are set to begin next year and run through 2011. The $23 million project will run concurrently with the East Sibley Street reconstruction project, slated to begin and end in 2009, but has it’s own scope of work, funding sources and assigned staff. Glatting Jackson, a planning and design firm based in West Palm Beach, Fla., will facilitate the meeting and work with architectural and engineering firms contracted by the city to implement the project. City Council recently approved up to $199,770 to Glatting Jackson for its work, which will extrapolate public thoughts on street design, a downtown master plan, the shape and size of future commercialindustrial- retail buildings. The session will begin with a presentation followed by breakout sessions based around specific neighborhood areas and the downtown. The team, joined by city staff, also will walk neighborhoods Sept. 30 and Oct. 1-2, trying to gauge public input from residents on the streets, and will have drop-in meetings at city hall Oct. 6-8. Glatting Jackson’s formal presentation will be delivered to City Council Oct. 13 at 5 p.m. A Web page has been set up by city staff so that residents can get answers to frequently asked questions, and stay informed about the street project, using the Internet.

Commuter rail needs authority Some in coalition working on project suggest AATA take the leading role BY JOHN MULCAHY The Livingston Community News If a commuter rail service between Howell and Ann Arbor is to move forward, the service won’t receive federal funds - if they become available - unless an authority can take charge of it, backers say. Just who or what that authority would be remains unclear, but some members of a coalition of government and business organizations working on the project have suggested that the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority could take on that lead role. Terri Blackmore, executive director of the Washtenaw Area Transportation Study, said U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn, told a meeting of the coalition last week that “the feds will not look at providing any funding until there is an identified authority.” Blackmore said she expects a formal request to be made to AATA, a member of the coalition, although she isn’t sure who should make the request. Such a letter could come from the city of Ann Arbor or from Washtenaw County, both members of the rail coalition, as is AATA, said David Nacht, chairman of the AATA board. Nacht said if the request is made, he would take it to the AATA board “and see what they have to say.” The rail project, called WALLY for its Washtenaw and Livingston counties’ connections, also needs a director, Blackmore said. So far, the project has been pushed by coalition members, none of whom has it as a primary responsibility. “In order for the project to move forward, it needs a person in charge,” Blackmore said. Having an authority to coordinate the project and receive any federal funds is crucial to the project, which is turning out to be a more expensive undertaking than originally estimated. A study released this summer said the project needs $32.4 million in capital improvements to start up, compared to the $7.2 million that the coalition had at first anticipated. As alternatives such as AATA are considered, it appears one option that won’t take place immediately is a joint authority between the Livingston County Board of Commissioners and its Washtenaw County counterpart. The Washtenaw County board last fall approved participation in such an authority to be formed by the two counties, but the Livingston County board did not. Livingston County board Chairman William Rogers said he remains reluctant to set up an authority that could levy a millage, at least in part because he thinks the project still lacks a “true financial plan.” He also is concerned about the county being called on to subsidize the rail operations, Rogers said. “We just don’t have the resources for it,” he said. Kilpatrick files as write-in candidate ELECTION 2008 Green Oak trustee is no relation to Detroit mayor of same name From News staff reports Green Oak Township voters will have an additional candidate to choose from in the race for board of trustees. George Kilpatrick, has filed as a write-in candidate in the general election Nov. 4. Kilpatrick, an incumbent who has been serving on the Green Oak Township board of trustees since 2004, was one of sue Republican candidates competing for four board of trustee positions in the Aug. 5 primary. He did not win the primary and says he’s heard that some did not vote for him because they thought he might be related to Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, which is not the case. Kilpatrick wants voters to know that he stands for transparency in local government and promoting positive growth in the township. The other candidates that will be competing for the four seats on the board are incumbents Tracey Edry, Wallace Qualls and Rollin Green, along with challenger Richard Everett. Qualls and Edry had previously been appointed to the board to fill unexpired terms. LETTERS Felons should not be allowed to sue I was incensed to discover our Livingston County Board of Commissioners gave a convicted child-rapist $190,000 because some inmates beat him up and guards did not stop the assault. Hooray for the guards! Had this gone to trial, I believe he would have received nothing. Some time back, the Livingston County Board voted to give 25 women felons, who had the American Civil Liberties Union file a workrelease dispute for them, $850,000 to be divided between them and the ACLU.

That is why they get the job. The MMRMA came into being in 1980. It is an insurance entity that cities, townships, counties, villages, pay into for peace of mind - which was the selling point at the state level. Others who have joined and paid fees into the MMRMA must resent how the Livingston County Board of Commissioners operates. Now that they have given away everybody’s dues, they want to blame and severely cut the Sheriff’s Department budget. The plan was to withhold the $190,000 to pay for incarceration. Did they do that for the 25 incarcerated women inmates also? Guilty convicted felons should not be allowed to sue anybody for anything and receive payment in jail. Do all the municipalities realize the MMRMA is doing more ethical damage than good? Beverly Chiasson, Green Oa k T ow n sh ip = T H E L IVING STON = C O M M U N IT Y NEWS Published each Friday.

Feds Investigating threats to Obama From News staff reports The U.S. Secret Service is investigating what now appears to be two threatening letters against presidential candidate Barack Obama that were received in Livingston County. The Livingston County Democratic Party headquarters in Brighton received a letter threatening Obama last week that was turned over to federal authorities. Now media reports indicate a second letter was received in Howell and also turned over to authorities. Douglas Zloto, resident agent in charge for the Saginaw office of the Secret Service said there in an active investigation into the Obama threats, but could not comment the case. He would not confirm the number of threats made in the county. “The Secret Service takes every threat extremely seriously,” he said. “We will be using every resource to investigate this ... and to determine how it was made.” He noted that his agency is working closely with both state and local officials in Livingston County. In Brighton, the handwritten, unsigned threat was initially turned over to State Police, Democratic Party chairwoman Judy Daubenmier said. “We know it’s an isolated incident, but unfortunately it has to be taken seriously,” she said. The letter was addressed to Daubenmier, who called police. Bulletin Board are set on a flat rate of $2.00* Call (734) 994-6711 or 1-800-589-9888 or your sales representative, ’two lines minimum.

Mike Rogers said this week he feels complimented by a campaign sign put up by attorney Neal Nielsen, even if the billboard is being questioned because P it sits on public property and may violate state election law. The large “Rogers for Congress” sign sits along 1-96 next to the new Genoa Township fire station operated by ^ the Brighton Area fire Au- P thority. Attorney Neal Nielsen donated the land for the fire station with the caveat that he be allowed to continue “unlimited and unrestricted” use of the sign for whatever purposes he chooses. Rogers said this week that since the township freely accepted the property with the restrictions, Nielsen has the right to use the sign any way he sees fit. “As I see it, he has the right to express himself politically,” Rogers said, addhig with a smUe, “I feel complimented that he thinks highly enough of me to put the sign there.” State election officials, however, have said the sign could be a violation of state law that forbids the use of public funds or property for political purposes. Rogers said he believes Nielsen’s use of the sign is a matter of First Amendment fi’ee speech rights. “As I see it, he has the right to express himself,” the congressman said. Rogers said it would make no diference to him if the name on the sign were that of his opponent (Lansing resident Bob Alexander) or any other candidate in the November general election. Local and state Democratic officials still see it differently. “Nobody is a stronger defender of First Amendment rights than I am, as a journalist,” responded Livingston County Democratic Party Chairwoman Judy Daubenmeier. “But state (campaign finance) law absolutely supersedes this.” Genoa Township Supervisor Gary McCririe, who also chairs the fire authority, has defended the arrangement as a generous gift that saved taxpayers money. Township Clerk Polly Skolarus has said she regrets voting to approve the donation, noting that the restriction was not discussed by the township board. Section 57 prohibits use of “funds, personnel, office space, computer hardware or software, property, stationery, postage, vehicles, equipment, supplies, or other public resources to make a contribution.” “I doubt the township would let it stand,” Daubenmeier said, when asked whether she planned to put a sign for a Democratic candidate on township property in overwhelmingly Republican Livingston County. “If it were a Republican sign, there would be no problem,” Daubenmeier said.

STEVE PEPPLE, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Thousands visit Moving Wall Vietnam memorial replica displayed for 4 days BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News Some were moved to tears as they touched a name. For others it was a history lesson come to life. Thousands of people turned out at the Mount Brighton Ski Area last week as The Moving Wall - a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. - was on display for a four-day visit. Chairman Ray Tovar said an estimated 10,000 people visited The Wall during its four-day stay, the numbers reduced by steady rain over the last two days. “Even with the rain, we had real good attendance; a lot of people braved the weather to see it,” he said. The Moving Wall visit was sponsored by the Brighton VFW Post 4357 and American Legion Post 235. Some people stopped Tovar to express their thanks to the veterans groups for organizing The Moving Wall visit, but he said it would have been impossible without the 250 or more volunteers. “Without the community, it wouldn’t have been a success,” he said. The opening day - Sept. 11 - included an early-morning ceremony marking the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The ceremony included remarks by military and other dignitaries, flyovers by two American Huey 369 helicopters, a color guard, taps and the laying of wreaths by various groups. After its stay in Brighton, The Moving Wall went to Wilmington, Mass., north of Boston.

LAURIE HUMPHREY,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Matt Finateri, a second-year apprentice, moves dirt to create a driveway into what will become Marion Township's Park No. 2, off Coon Lake Road, behind township hall. Instructors and apprentices of Operators Engineers Local 324 helped. Marion offers park options 1st project complete, another behind township hall underway BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News One down, one to go - that’s the status of parldand in Marion Township. Tree planting earlier this month brought the township’s first park project on Triangle Lake Road to completion, while the second location behind township hall at 2877 W. Coon Lake Road is abuzz with activity. Instructors from Operating Engineers Local 324 Education Center brought a handful of apprentices out last week for some “offsite experience,” said Scott Smith, an instructor focusing on dozers, excavators and backhoes. Using an excavator, two bulldozers, and guided by three instructors, the apprentices dug a retention pond for the future rain garden, cleared and leveled land for future drive ways into the park and a parking lot. About 40 hours of work was done at no cost to give the students practical experience and a taste of community service. According to John Hartwell, apprentice coordinator, working in the community is standard practice for the Local 324. Apprentices are brought out to various work sites, inside and outside of Livingston County, “to see some of the different things going on.” The work supplements their basic classes, and “gives them practical experience on all the equipment.” The group was called out by Marion Township Planning Commission Chairman Jack Lowe. “This is a way for us to get started (on Park No. 2,)” said Lowe, who envisions a passive park with a walking path, rain garden and an historic barn. Ballfields for organized play could be added later. The idea to provide park space inside the township began years ago, but the projects moved from plans to implementation following a land donation for Park No. 1. Park No. 2, also spanning 10 acres, will likely take several years to complete. Land- A view of Marion Township Park No. 1, off Triangle Lake Road.

The end result, according to Hanvey, is that local residents could now “use (a) park without getting into their cars” and liv in g outside the township.

More than $60,000 has been raised in the past five years for Putnam Township’s Unity Playground, Pinckney Community Schools’ seventh-grade Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, the Friends of the Lakelands Trail, the Pinckney- Lakeland-Hamburg Service Unit of the Girl Scouts of America, youth camps and recreational equipment and programs. The music boosters got their first taste of the rodeo last year when they hosted a pancake breakfast. They’ll serve breakfast again this year, starting when the gates open. Cherie Rowse, volunteer coordinator for the music boosters, said her group is pleased to be part of the eyent. “It’s a way for the music program to be involved in the community to show the community what we’re all about,” she said. “It’s a chance for us to give to the community while the community gives to us.” A rodeo exhibition begins at 10 a.m. and the two-hour SuperKicker Rodeo, which features bull riding, bronco busting and barrel racing, begins at 1:30 p.m. The children’s calf scramble is being replaced this year with a boot scramble. Kids who participate will take off one shoe and put it in a pile. They then line up away from the pile, race to it to find their shoe and try to be first back across the starting line.

CHOIR FROM A1 Kids are from poor villages in downtown Pinckney before they gathered dt the church across the street eat and meet the eight church families they stayed with from 'Ibesday through today. “This is such a wonderful experience and I’m glad I have the space to have them stay with me,” said Barb De- La'Torre, one of the hosts. “I love the way this program operates.” Choir members come from Africa’s most desperately poor villages and have lost one or both parents to poverty and disease. A new group is selected each year to tour and raise awareness for the plight of African children and bring in funds to assist educational programs. “The goal is to break the cycle of extreme poverty and educate these children so they are in a position to change the future,” said David Turner, the tour leader and one of seven adult chaperones. The African Children’s Choir was formed 23 years ago. Members of that first group have become engineers, teachers, doctors and lawyers, 'Turner said. Some former members, including Alice Nabwami, also stick with the group as adults. “Being in the choir 10 years ago changed my way of looking at things,” Nabwami said. “Seeing different situations made me see things in a more positive way and look forward ^ to having a better future.” Eight-year-old Joshua Busuulwa, a choir member, beams when talking about performing at the White House during his last five months on tour. And he marvels at the changing seasons ^ he’s seen in the Midwest. When it comes down to it, though, kids are kids whether they come from Africa or America, 'Turner said, right down to their favorite foods. “I love cheeseburgers,” Joshua said.

HOWELL FROM A1 Red Cross, tenant agency, seek donations and support day, destroying all the agency’s emergency relief supplies, food, cots and financial records. “We had over 100 cleanup kits planned for the residents on Ore Lake” in Hamburg 'Township, she said. Everything raised by the five-foot-deep water that entered the building’s lower level and emergency vehicle garage, collapsed in a damp heap in the middle of storage rooms at 1372 W Grand River Ave., near the Howell High School Freshman Campus building. People are asked to send money so the Red Cross can buy what the agency needs because building storage is at a premium. Yet, she insists the flooding will not keep Red Cross volunteers from helping others affected by fire, tornadoes or even hurricanes. “We have about 18 volunteers out there right now” helping victims of Hurricane Ike and Gustav, said Serra. It was when she came into work Sunday to deploy more volunteers south that she noticed the rising water at the office. Building tenant Connection Youth Services, an agency that operates under the umbrella of the Livingston Family Center, also is picking up the soggy pieces of its operation. Instead of working on the agency’s open house, which was planned for the coming weeks, staff members are removing the ruined pinball machine, Foosball table and lifting bean bags to higher ground. A Friday Night Alternative event planned for tonight, will move from the building to the parking lot. “We’ve suffer^ through budget cuts and the economy. 'This flood is not going to stop us,” said Program Manager Vickie Smith, “but we’re deMtely going to need the help of the community.” CYS provides 24-hour crisis intervention and referral, emergency housing, counseling, and support groups for teens and their parents. Anyone wanting to help or learn more about the organization should visit their Web site at www.theconnectionyouthservices. org or call 866-440-7233. Phone service to the building was expected to be restored Wednesday, but Serra said people could call her on her cell phone at 517-204-6250. Colleen Brothers, preparedness coordinator for Livingston County chapter of the American Red Cross, can also be reached at 517-204-6247. As the heavy rain moved through the area last weekend residents were affected in many ways. TTish DePuydt was minutes away from her house Monday when her Ford Freestyle stalled in the middle of Mason Road, where the Red Cedar River overflowed the roadway between Norton and Burkhart roads. “I came through yesterday (Sunday) around 2 p.m. and I got through no problem,” she said. Monday she was fished out and towed by Pat Hannan, of Smullen’s International Towing. More than 9 inches of rain was recorded at Howell’s Wastewater 'Treatment Facility Sept. 13-15 moving 8 million gallons of water a day through the plant. “It is designed for 2.45 million gallons a day,” said Howell’s Deputy City Manager Terry Wilson. City staff made the decision Sunday morning to send 516,000 gallons of raw sewage past the treatment facility (ABOVE) JIM JAGDFELD,, SPECIAL TO THE NEW Jeff Nelson sits on his deck which was a lot closer to the water Monday than when he moved into his home earlier this month. Heavy rain over the weekend swelled Ore Lake in Hamburg Township. A Howell school bus plows through a flooded Mason Road earlier this week. Several hundred feet along Mason Road, between Norton and Burkhart roads, were under water, making the stretch of road impassible for some. LAURIE HUMPHREY, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEVC HAMBURG FROM A1 Sewers may be shut down “Every few hours it gets higher and higher,” Jeff Nelson said. “'That’s OK as long as it doesn’t come up to the back door.” Water also was flowing fast over Mohican Drive at Branch Drive on the north end of the lake, a spot that always takes the brunt of flooding because it’s low and homes there sit between the lake and a canal. “It’s not fun,” said Bob Vick. “We’ve got to figure out how to get our dock out, but we will. Really, we’re going through minor stuff compared to those folks in Galveston, 'Texas.” It was the rains from Hurricane Ike, which hit 'Texas late last week, and 'ITopical Storm Hanna before it, that have impacted the Huron River and Ore Lake, said Danny Costello, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service in White Lake. Three to sue inches of rain fell in the Huron River Watershed area Saturday and Sunday. “We’ve had a streamgaging station on the river in Hamburg since the 1950s and this is the first time the river has ever gone above flood stage between July and December,” Costello said. Predictions on how high the waters could rise were increased, Costello said, based on continued study of the water flow, as well as how debris and obstructions are affecting it. “We still do not expect it to go as high as it did in 2004,” he said. 'Township officials have notified people that their sewers could be shut down if water begins to surround grinder pumps. A few of those instances had occurred by Wednesday morning on Branch Drive, Pine said. If pumps fill up, sewage can leak into the lake. Anyone concerned about their grinder pump should call the township’s Sewer Hotline at 810-217-6085. Township officials also remind people to make sure gas cans, paint, pesticides and cleaning products are moved to higher shelves if garages or basements are in danger of flooding. Daily updates of the flooding situation can be found on the township’s Web site at www. hamburg.mi.us. south to the Marion-Genoa county drain that empties into the Shiawassee River, a practice permitted by the state in extreme cases. It was done, Wilson said, to keep sewage from backing up into basements. The system was back online by Monday morning. Matt Bolang, a groundwater specialist with the Livingston County Department of Public Health, said the release was reported and “is not considered a health hazard.” It was contained in a swift moving channeled stream, mixed with rain water and road runoff, miles from flood areas.

A local resident oiffers to donate land for a new fire station. The parcel is almost perfectly located on a main road in just the right area. How fast can we say, “Yes!” I can just imagine local officials thinking. That was the situation faced by Genoa Township officials when they were looking for a place to build a second fire station to serve the township. Stepping forward with an offer to donate land was local attorney Neal Nielsen. The parcel sits along Chilson Road, just south of 1-96. But you know how the old saying goes: There’s no such thing as a free lunch (or land). As it turns out Nielsen’s generosity came with a few strings attached. The ofl’er of the land was only good if: ■ The township continues to give Nielsen unfettered access to a billboard already erected on the property. ■ The township names the fire station after Nielsen. Failure to agree to either stipulation would mean that ownership of the property would revert to Nielsen. That should have stopped Genoa Township officials in their tracks. Instead the board of trustees voted unanimously to accept the 2-acre parcel and the billboard. Naming the fij^ station after Nielsen is one of those things that may make you roll your eyes, but it doesn’t really cause any harm. Continuing to give Nielsen total control over the billboard was another matter. It should have been a deal-breaker and the story that ran on our fix)nt page last week shows the reason why. The portion of the billboard facing eastbound traffic along 1-96 now carries a “Rogers for Congress” campaign sign. Generally speaking, state law forbids campaign signs on public property. It’s a law designed to avoid just the situation that exists at the new Genoa Township fire station: The impression that Genoa Township or the Brighton Area Fire Authority supports Republican Mike Rogers. While that may be true for individual members of the township board or the fire authority board, each person can show his or her support in their own fixjnt yards. I’m no legal expert, but Section 57 of the state Campaign Finance Act, seems pretty clear to me: “A public body... shall not use or authorize the use of funds, personnel, office space, computer hardware or software, property, stationery, postage, vehicles, equipment, supplies, or other public resources to make a contribution ...” Local Democrats are furious because of what they see as a GOP stranglehold on common sense in a county where virtually every elected officials is a Republican. Township Supervisor Gary McCririe said it would not have been appropriate to attach conditions to Nielsen’s land donation. So what we’re left with is a campaign sign that is, by any reasonable standard, in violation of state law. And no one in the township has the will to stand up to Nielsen, a former Republican elected official and Rogers campaign contributor, and convince him to take down the sign. It’s a reasonable request if he’s serious about helping the community. Besides, he’s got a billboard on the other side of 1-96 on his own property that he can use for whatever message he wants.

Jeff Vaden, in front of the township's new fire station, under construction along M-36. Below, a construction worker works on the drywall ceiling of the new Hamburg Township fire station. BY LEANNE SM ITH The Livingston Community News In November, Hamburg 'Township firefighters are expected to move into a new station that some residents have called too extravagant. These critics, township officials say, are overlooking a key fact - the project so far is under the maximum $3.5 million voters agreed to spend when they approved a bond issue for the building in 2006. To date, township officials have spent right around $3 million, and that includes the $575,000 paid for the five-acre site on East M-36 between Campbell Septic Service and Michigan Rehabilitation Specialists. They don’t expect those expenditures to increase much by the time firefighters move in. “We own a wonderful, valuable asset that will serve the community efficiently for many years and we bought it for a bargain price,” said Township 'Ihistee Mike Bitondo. “We should be proud of it and the value it brings to our community.” Not so, say residents like Rick Neglia, who think the building is too opulent for the times and a “slap in the face to people who are struggling” in a tough economy. “The residents have been duped,” Neglia said. “I don’t think anyone dreamed it would be as lavish as it is. More people would have voted no if they did.” Criticisms like this wouldn’t be made, township officials said, if everyone knew the facts about the building and why it’s being built the way it is. When Hamburg Township took over operation of the foe department from the all-volunteer Hamburg Inc. almost 10 years ago, there were two stations in the old village - a main station on Hamburg Road and a smaller one on Stone Street. The Hamburg Road station was closed in 2001 and sold because it would have cost too much to repair it to working standards, said Fire Chief Doug Berry. At that time, the small Stone Street station, built in 1948, was kept and a substation was set up at M-36 near Pettysville Road in the building the fire department then shared with the police department. “We haven’t had a main station since that station on Hamburg Road closed,” Berry said. “The new building was never sold as a substation.” 'The biggest misconception, Bitondo said, is that the new station is much larger than the current one. It’s actually is 2,000 square feet smaller, he said. “It’s the peaked roof,” Berry said. “It gives the illusion that the new sta- S E E STATION, A6 The bay area of the new Hamburg fire station, which should be ready for use in November.

Club's fundraiser asks people to use imagination and bet on a winner BY U S A CAROLIN The Livingston Community News “Lawrence of Arabia” comes to Churchill Downs. That may be a stretch, but those who want to come out and support local youth programs are invited to use their imaginations for an evening of fun at the races at Mount Brighton Ski Area. The Brighton Optimist Club will be inviting guests to bet their money at the camel races coming up Saturday, Sept. 27. “We’ve gone out and promoted this idea to businesses and asked them to adopt a camel for $125,” says Ruth Raft, a Brighton Optimist Club board member. “The camels are stark naked when they get them, and they can decorate them any way they want. We’ll be voting on the best-dressed camel.” The camels are four feet high, made of plywood, and stand on a base with casters. Six camels will be lined up S E E CAMEL RACE,A6 A decorated camel sits in the front window at Cooper and Binkley Jewelers in downtown Brighton.

CAMEL RACE f r o m a s People can wager on plywood camels at a time, and participants will get “camel money” they can use to bet. “We have dice that are a foot square that are thrown against a wall, and the number that comes up indicates how much the camel moves,” says Raft. “We keep throwing until we get a winner, and the people that bet on the winning camel get money back.” Raft says she’s hoping for 200 people at the event and that there will be eight or nine races that night.

St. Joseph opens to kindergarteners Howell school moves into new building From News staff reports Thirty-seven kindergartners and their families were welcomed into the new St. Joseph Early Childhood Education Center in Howell on Sept. 2, following sbc months of construction at the former preschool building. The school’s todergarten students had been housed in two freestanding modulars next to the preschool, 317 Fowler St., for many years before the recent addition of about 500 square feet. A ribbon-cutting ceremony, supervised by kindergarten teachers Deborah Loveday and Susan Rockey, kicked off their students’ school year. According to Principal Kathy Freeman, the modulars were never intended to be permanent and will be removed as soon as possible. “It’s very exciting,” she said about the project. “It’s great to be able COURTESY ANNETTE STALEY Kindergartners and their families are weicomed into the new St. Joseph Early Childhood Education Center.

It’s also nice for the preschoolers to see what the next step is.” STATION f r o m A5 Design regulations raised cost tion is bigger because the old station has a flat roof” A flat roof was “a mistake” the township never wanted to repeat, officials said. ‘“rhere are 19 different leaks in that flat roof and the walls are cracking and the floors are heaving,” Berry said. Another criticism is that the new station’s exterior is too fancy. Bitondo explained, however, that the exterior “brick” is pre-cast concrete. A simple pole bam couldn’t be put up, he added, because the building is in the township’s Village Center and had to meet design rules it requires of all other commercial buildings in the district, such as Michigan Rehabilitation Specialists and the CVS pharmacy. “The fact is that we have a building that will serve us for many, many years to come,” Beny said. “If we needed to add on a few years down the road, that would cost a lot more.” ACHIEVERS St. Joseph system gets new leader Three of Saint Joseph Mercy Health System’s local hospitals will have a new president and chief executive officer in October, the health system announced last week. Robert Casalou, the president and CEO for Providence Park Hospital and Medical Center, will be president and CEO of St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor, St. Joseph Mercy Saline and St. Joseph Mercy Livingston in HoweU. He accepted the position a week after the opening of the Providence Park Hospital in Novi. Garry Faja, president and CEO of Saint Joseph Mercy Health System, said the position was created as a result of St. Joseph Mercy’s acquisition of St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Livonia in February. St. Mary Mercy’s president and CEO, David Spivey, will continue to serve in that position. The health system is owned by TTinily Health Care in Novi. A hospital spokeswoman said the hiring has no impact on the role of Dr. Douglas Edema as chief operating officer of the St. Joseph Livingston Hospital. 2 win scholarships for building trades Matthew DeKoninck of Fowlerville and Ethan McClanahan of Howell have been awarded $550 scholarships by the J.

A difference-maker. And that’s what Robin Witjes is proving to be for the Howell football team, much like Charles Woodson ^d during the University of Michigan’s national championship season in 1997. Witjes, a senior, has provided the scoring punch in all facets of the game, lifting the Highlanders to their second straight 3-0 start. Witjes caught two touchdowns in a thrilling 13-10 overtime win at Milford last week, a 69-yarder and a 10- yard catch in overtime, both from Justin Svatora. After scoring three different ways in the season-opener, WiQes scored four different ways against Livonia Stevenson in week two. He caught a 37-yard score, rushed for a 22-yard touchdown, returned an interception 45 yards for a TD and kicked five extra points. Can Witjes continue the magic now that teams eye his every move? Here’s a look at this week’s picks: Brighton (1-2) at Hartland (3-0) 7 tonight - The Bulldogs got the win they desperately needed last week, squeaking past Pinckney, 10-6, in their KLAA west division opener. Hartland, fresh off a 40-8 win over Hazel Park, faces its first true test of the season. The Eagles have lost five straight to Brighton since a 13-10 win in 2002, so they’re motivated for redemption. Hartland 24, Brighton 10. Pinckney (1-2) at Miiford (2-1) 7 tonight - Pinckney’s ball-control offense is keeping its defense off the field, but it isn’t generating much production, having scored just 23 points. Milford 20, Pinckney 12. Howeii (3-0) at Ann Arbor Pioneer (2-1) 7 tonight - The Pioneers are a dangerous foe with plenty of athletes and the home-field advantage. This might be a trap game for the Highlanders, fresh off two huge wins. Howell 20, Pioneer 19. Livonia Stevenson (2-1) at South Lyon (1-2) 7 tonight - Last week’s one-point loss to Northville was a major heart-breaker for the Lions, who missed a field goal to win in the final minute. The Lions are in an unfamiliar hole to start the season. They haven’t had this rough a start since stumbling to an 0-4 record in 2000. It doesn’t get any easier against the KLAA’s best Division I prospect, Stevenson tailback Austin White. Stevenson 24, South Lyon 20.

All three - Pinckney’s Tedd Bradley, South Lyon’s Mike Teagan and Whitmore Lake’s Denise Kerrigan - have multiple job assignments that will keep them busy all year long. Both Bradley and Kerrigan are working as athletic directors, while managing their district’s community education- recreation departments. Teagan is pulling double duty, representing both South Lyon and South Lyon East high schools. Bradley, 49, the director of Pinckney Community Education for 22 years, said his transition is going well. In August, he replaced John Rehbine, the school’s former full-time AD who was let go during budget cuts. “The biggest thing with ath- SEE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS, 82 New athletic directors at area school districts this school year include, from left: Whitmore Lake's Denise Kerrigan, Pinckney's Tedd Bradley and South Lyon's Mike Teagan.

They were volleyball rivals across the net from one another in South Lyon: Gotham at Millennium Middle School and Donehue at Centennial Middle School. “She was the other tall girl,” Donehue recalls with a laugh after school in the South Lyon High School gym last week. “It was like a big grudge match.” Neither girl remembers who won those middle-school showdowns but that was the last time they competed against one another.

Together, they’re the reasons South Lyon has emerged as a volleyball power the past two seasons.

Despite disease, she keeps running Marathoner runs to raise funds BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Karen Lewis uses exercise “to keep my sanity.” Nearly 17 years ago, Lewis was tognosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract that has forced her to endure an array of health hurdles, including blood transfusions, surgeries and colorectal cancer. She first turned to walking to relieve stress, leading to her first marathon in 1993. “My doctor didn’t think that was a good idea,” she admits. She’s run 31 additional marathons, including two Boston Marathons; four ultramarathons of more than 50 miles and countless half-marathons and shorter races since that time. “There is very little that slows Karen down. I don’t know of anything yet,” says her husband, Jon Lewis. Karen Lewis a Brighton 'Township resident, is celebrating her upcoming 50th birthday by running the San Antonio Half Marathon Nov. 16, while raising money for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America’s 'Team Challenge. She’s participating in honor of Cade Groman, a 7-year-old from Genoa 'Township who suffers from Crohn’s. She and her husband hope to raise $8,000 for the foundation. Cade’s father. Garth, said the family is flattered that Karen Lewis is running for his son. “We owe a lot to her,” he says. Lewis, who works in marketing with an industrial robotics company in Novi, has been walking and running up to 10 miles a day to train. She plans on doing the Detroit Free Press-Flagstar half marathon in October. The Lewises often plan their vacations around marathons. Last year, they ran in Alaska and Maine. They dream of running marathons in all 50 states. They’re at 20 and counting. “She and I both have the same feeling. Exercise promotes a healthy lifestyle,” Jon Lewis said. “Maintaining proper fitness, it has enabled her to recover from treatment and surgeries quicker than normal.” □B IG G B Y i $1.00 OFF A Grande or Trente Speciality Drink Brighton: 8714 Grand River 810-227-2271 Howell: 1275 Lawson Dr. 517-545-8196 F R E E Convenient drive through! www.biggby.com LC Coupon valid at these locations only.

My flexibility and organization will be my biggest strengths in this position.” The Community Education department has eliminated some programs, too, but Bradley declined to discuss specifics. “We’ve concentrated on the things that we know will run and the community enjoys,” he said. “ ... All schools will struggle with (changes like these). What do you give up? What is not important? Everything is. That is what I’m juggling.” Kerrigan, 44, who worked as the payroll and benefits coordinator in the school district’s business office, assisted former Whitmore Lake athletic director Bob Henry last year. Henry retired after 20 years on the job. She said one of her goals is to increase sports participation at the school. Kerrigan’s three oldest children competed at Whitmore Lake High. Her youngest child, Jake, is a junior who plays football, basketball and golf for the TVojans. Whitmore Lake added a boys golf program last year with hopes of creating a girls program, too. Organizing high school swim teams in the new community pool at the new high school are a long-term goal. “I’m very passionate,” about sports, Kerrigan said. “In a perfect world, every kid should be a part of a team. You get a dynamic you don’t get anywhere else.” Teagan, 28, played hockey and was on the ski team at South Lyon High, graduating in 1999.

They have a camaraderie.” Having two stars in the limelight could lead to bickering about who’s best. Not with them. “Seeing someone swing as hard as you do, it inspires you,” Donehue says. “(We have) inner competition, but we don’t take it to heart. “I have the mentality that we are equal. She has some aspects that are better and I do, too.” The Lions won their first district title last year since 1991, but they believe if the pieces fall together, a state title is within reach. Six other seniors, including Kelsey Kaminsly and Amanda Thomas, have ample experience, leadership and talent to deliver something special. Both Donehue and Gotham admit they’re still adjusting to their new coach. The Lions have lost to Dexter and Plymouth Canton early on, proving they’re still working out the kinks. Anderson emphasizes defense to make the Lions a complete team. Even with a new setter, offensive firepower isn’t an issue. “When both of them are on the mark, it is just awesome to watch,” Anderson says. “Things are just starting to come together from all the work they’ve done.” Donehue, much improved defensively, is playing all the way around the court, while Gotham contributes more at outside hitter than she ever has. Donehue believes focus and work ethic are key components to reaching the team’s potential. “If we stay focused and put our heart into it, we can beat any team,” she says. Having two Division 1 recruits on the front line intimidates some teams, but it inspires others. “It makes other teams want to beat us more,” Gotham says. The girls dream of a storybook ending before going their separate ways to college. “There’s always pressure (to win a state championship), but it’s exciting. You know you have to step up to it to get where you want to go,” Gotham says.

Beth DesRochers aced the 90-yard 15th hole on the Championship course Sept. 5. sistant to former athletic director Larry Janes, a role Adam Beutel now assumes. Teagan and Janes were instrumental in getting South Lyon East’s new varsity sports programs launched. Teagan has offices at both high schools and gets teased whenever he’s wearing an enemy logo - a Lion or a Cougar - at the opposing school. “It is a house divided, but at the end of the day, it’s all South Lyon kids.” he said.

COURTESY, PAT MCCLAIN A g e n d e s w o r k t o p r e p a r e Organizations need more volunteers partment of Public Health ^ BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News The Livingston County Department of Public Health and the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross want people to be prepared for any disaster. They are looking for volunteers to respond to local and national disasters. Hurricanes have battered the southern United States in recent weeks, floods have affected Livingston County this week, and it was just one year ago that tornadoes damaged and destroyed 44 homes in the northern p ^ of the county. “We have 15 trained volunteers who are deployed now for Hurricane Gustav,” says Colleen Brothers, preparedness coordinator for the Livingston Coimty Chapter of the American Red Cross, which had to deal with its own disaster this week when its basement was flooded. “We may be sending more people to help now that Hurricane Ike has hit. We’ll see who is ... ready to go.” Brothers says volimteers start by getting experience locally and then can respond to national disasters. “We’re also looking for licensed mental health workers,” says Brothers. “When a disaster occurs, mental health needs are on the forefront ... both responders and victims.” The Livingston County Deneeds nurses to volunteer for disaster training. “We have 200 nurses who have volimteered from the county and 150 are actively involved in coming to regular training events,” says Jennifer Kramer, volunteer coordinator for the Health De- M partment’s Public Health Volunteer Response Team. Kramer says volunteers are trained to give out information and administer medication. Pam Lewis, a retired nurse who lives in Cohoctah Township, has been a volunteer for the last two-and-a-half years. “A lot of effort and planning has gone into the training, and it’s reassuring to know it’s in place,” says Lewis. “We’ve learned how to disperse medications to the coimty in case of a disaster, and the psychological impact of disasters on people and what techniques to use with them.” September is National Pre- ^ paredness Month, and local officials offer tips to residents to prepare for a disaster. “Get a Wt, make a plan and be informed,” says Brothers. “Preparedness starts at the home,” Kramer adds. “People think about their families first ^ in a disaster.” A guide entitled “Being Prepared” is available online or at the Health Department. For information on the guide or to volunteer, call the LCDPH 517- 546-9850. The local Red Cross chapter can be reached at 517- 546-0326.

Homeowners get a green attitude Anticipated high energy costs p rom p t interest in new technologies w BY CASEY HANS The Livingston Community News Energy-conscious homeowners with an eye to green alternatives are considering more options for both remodeling and new construction. Steve Belanger of Brighton’s Belanger Builders and a board member with the Home Builders Association of Livingston County said homeowners are becoming better educated in some of these money-saving technologies, as well as looking for ways to be kinder to the environment. “We’re getting more interest now, even in the remodeling area,” he said. “More and more people are becoming interested in it. We’re getting a lot of people asking questions.” Homeowners are looking at improvements such as a full-house, spray-foam insulation as well as using renewable products such as bamboo flooring. In the area of heating and cooling, geothermal has taken center stage. Green building can mean everything from installing high-efficiency appliances to using rainwater on a home site, according to information from Green Built Michigan, the certified program of the Michigan Association of Home Builders. Livingston County has one of eight chapters in the state. Amy Crotty of Dream Work Builders is one of those certified. Her company currently has three new homes being built with green technologies. “Most people ... are looking for us to educate them about it,” said Crotty, first vice president with the HBALC and also a board member with the Michigan Association of Home Builders. “We’ll sit down and discuss what their priorities are and we’ll recommend what we think they should do.” Crotty recommends several things homeowners should consider: ■ Use insulated concrete forms when building a basement. These energy-efficient building modules often used for below-grade walls on new home construction. ■ Consider geothermal heating and cooling systems, which extract heat energy from reservoirs in the earth’s interior to heat r t 'J — T H E L l M N C S i O N — COMMUNITY NEWS F r i d a y , S e p t e m b e r 19, 2008 2 I FALL YOUR HOME THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2 0 0 8 COURTESY, BRAD UVEY GREEN BUILDING SERVICES OF MICHIGAN Open-cell foam insulation expands to fill all of the voids and then is cut back flush to the face of the studs. Such insulation helps to keep a house airtight and more energy efficient, according to experts. GREEN FROM 1 Upgrades can cost more, but consider the payback a home and release heat back into the earth to cool a home. “With the cost of fuel, geothermal is absolutely the way to go. Your costs will never change,” Grotty said. ■ Install foam insulation, which can be done in both new homes and remodels. It provides an effective barrier to air and seals a house soundly, Grotty said. Although some green upgrades can cost 15-20 percent more than traditional building practices, according to Belanger, cost always depends on how much a homeowner wants to do. “Anybody can do a little green,” added Belanger, noting that improved insulation and better windows can go a long way to helping homeowners save money. “Every little bit can help with a little cost savings. It all depends on how far they want to go.” Homeowners should consider a cost analysis of what the payback will be, the experts said. For example. Grotty said for someone spending $1,000 a month to heat a home with propane, a $10,000 geothermal system would offer a quick payback, taking On the Web ■ e r a 's Energy Star Program - e n e rg y s ta r . go v . ■ Sustainable Buildings Industry Council - w w w .

Both recommend that homeowners talk with their contractors about their commitment to green products and share their own needs in making decisions.

Although their expertise is mostly in commercial enterprises, they said such energy systems are worth Looking at for the homeowner as well. Compare the cost to the payback, and often the figures make the savings apparent, Harris said. He said solar systems are comparable with putting in a whole-house generator system, for example, but have a better payback because they operate continuously. “The solar would be there giving a dividend every day,” he said. Keliiluli said that once the green movement is picked up by businesses, it will become more commonplace - and less costly - for homeowners and residential applications.

P The 36-year-old mother of three and her husband, Mark, knew the carpet had to go. “The entire house was carpeted, including the kitchen,” Lauzon says. “We have two asthmatic kids and two dogs ^ and knew we wanted wood.” " While wood is definitely the flooring of choice in today’s market, Lauzon made the “green” choice to install bamboo because the renewable resource is said to be tougher than the traditional oak. “I had two German Shepherds at the old house and had to redo the floors. I wanted to by to find a floor I wouldn’t have to refinish,” Lauzon says. “I’m very pleased with it; I love it. If I could just get the dog to quit Kourtney, Michelle, and Kristin Lauzon of Genoa Township. The Lauzon family installed dark bamboo wood floors in their Oak Pointe home. Flooring costs Here's a look at the prices ranges, per square foot, o f different types o f flooring; ■ Bamboo: $8-$12 installed. ■ Cork: $9-$14 installed. ■ Hardwood: $7-$15 installed. ■ Luxury hardwoods: $20 for walnut, teak, cherry and mahogany. ■ Laminate: $4.50-$7 installed. ■ Carpet: $5 and up installed. shedding, I would be happy.” Bamboo isn’t the only renewable flooring on the market. Cork is enjoying a resurgence because of its mint-green reputation. While bamboo is renewable because of its fast-growing quality, cork is renewable because harvesting the bark of the cork oak doesn’t damage the tree. AR Cramer Flooring interior designer Jill Amburgey is a big fan of the material. She says only one customer in a thousand is interested in cork’s superior qualities, but when it’s ri^ t, it’s perfect. Ambiu’gey sold a cork floor to an arthritic client who needed a resilient kitchen floor and one to a dancer for her studio. A client who is an architect chose corkfor his wife’s exercise room. “Cork takes that special person with a little bit of vision - usually people who have done a little research and decide it fits their needs perfectly,” Amburgey says. “It has a truly unique esthetic that doesn’t fit everj^jody’s taste. I love it. It looks fabulous.” Cork is anti-microbial and flame resistant. It resists mold, mildew and common pests, according to the Web site naturalcork. com and can be stained in deep reds and cocoas. It has an easy-to-clean polyurethane finish. Amburgey’s colleague at the AR Cramer store in Howell, Jeane Salter, says carpeting also is entering the green arena with an eco-friendly carpet fiber, Mohawk’s SmartStrand that is made of DuPont’s biotech Sonora brand polymer manufactured from com sugar. “It’s very, very soft,” Amburgey said. “The carpeting comes in multiple styles - cut pile, looped, or the popular precision- cut patterns. A lot of people are coming in and want ecofriendly products. I’d say one in eight are curious and want to learn more about what’s available in that lifestyle.” Ron Williams, owner of Perfect Floors says carpeting is a main seller in his South Lyon store because of it’s practicality and warmth. For a less expensive alternative to hardwood flooring, some clients choose floating laminate floors, like those invented and popularized by Pergo in the 1970s. A laminate floor is constructed of a wood fiber base with a photograph of wood impregnated with melamine, making a good-looking and durable surface. “People decide they want more of a wood look than a fake ceramic of a vinyl floor” Williams says. “The laminate prints look like all different kinds of wood or tile.” HABITAT FROM 2 Nonprofit seeking volunteers 2003, and we’ve seen the store volume, donations, sales, and the number of customers increase ever since,” says Larry Pfiel, executive director of the Livingston County Habitat for Humanity He says Habitat is always looking for volunteers, especially for its committees, and that no special skills are necessary. “Our goal this year is for the Howell High School build for Habitat to be completed and to^do another home by Jime of next year.

Several fat worms and an inch-long beetle writhe out of the light and airy mass and tumble back among riotous red petunias. “See all the worms? See how nice and soft that is? It doesn’t get any better than that for the plants,” Bader says. “Leaf composted mulch keeps building up the soil and keeps it nice and soft and fluffy. When they call it black gold, it really is black gold for a gardener - gardeners know the value of good soil.” For anyone who has struggled to manhandle a tiny impatiens seedling into Michigan clay, Bader’s flower beds filled with this black bullion seem miraculous in their bounty. On his 14-acre property off Bowen Road, north of the Livingston County Airport, Bader has created a sixacre garden with 36 perennial beds - some featuring blazing red bee balm that has gone to seed by September, and 60 varieties of day lilies that are also past their prime. But the 200 flats of annuals planted last spring continue showing off until the first frost. “It all goes hand-in-hand with the mulch,” Bader says. He sells his leaf-composted mulch for $35 a yard delivered in Livingston County as part of his landscaping business, Bader’s Acres. Bader knew he wanted to be a landscaper from the time he graduated Howell High School in 1979. He earned a two-year agricultural technology degree from MSU while running his own landscaping business, and began making leaf composted mulch in the early 1990s when dumps quit accepting yard waste and he agreed to accept leaves from local municipalities. Bader went to work as a service manager for Ditch Witch in 1992 and worked there until last year when the company downsized in the slow Michigan economy. He and his brother, Brian Bader, have been working full-time at Bader’s Acres since then. They sell about 2,000 yards of mulch a year. Bader begins the process by processing the leaves in a tub grinder then constantly turning the massive piles of leaves for about two years. “It’s a little tricky to keep it from making compost,” Bader says. “If it does get too far, we’ll mix the compost in with our topsoil and we also use it as potting soil, so nothing’s ever wasted.” Unlike wood bark mulch, leaf composted mulch breaks down in a year, and must be replenished every growing season. The sale of Bader’s leaf composted mulch didn’t take off until about five years ago when he became an exhibitor and sponsor of the LACASA annual garden tour. “I love it when people come and enjoy the gardens,” Bader says. “People see our beautiful gardens and buy the mulch because they see what the mulch can do.” LACASA Marketing and Community Relations Director Candy Jones-Guerin says she is a convert to the leaf mulch. “Last year I used their mulch for the first time. Everything is so happy it’s incredible. Every year. Dale donates four yards of mulch to each of the garden tour owners and I have heard nothing but raves. “The mulch feeds the soil while protecting the plants and the plants go absolutely wild.” Bader's Acres can be reached at 517-546-0011.

Follow some basics to good composting Use kitchen scraps and leaves, keep compost pile moist and turn it monthly It doesn’t take much to start composting yard waste, says Gretchen Voyle, horticulture agent for the Michigan State University Extension Service in Livingston County. You don’t even need a bin, she says. “You need sunlight for warmth, moisture and microorganisms,” Voyle says. “You have compost starter at your house - it’s known as soil.” She says you make a bin or buy one, but you also can compost right on the ground. Voyle says leaves, kitchen waste and yard waste, added to the dirt, is all that’s need to start composting. The smaller and softer the material is, the faster it will compost. To avoid bad smells and critter plunder, don’t put meat, bones, animal excrement or grease on the compost pile. “Some people worry excessively about compost piles smelling bad,” Voyle says. “If your compost pile stinks, you have done something wrong. If that happens just add a little acidic Canadian peat. Never add lime; lime kills all the microorganisms. Or throw soil on top, to put an end to the stinko.” Here are some of Voyle’s other tips for composting: ■ Excavate a 3-by-3-foot area of sunlit ground to a depth of six inches and save the dirt to throw on top of the compost pile. ■ Punch holes in a plastic mat or wading pool exterior wall and use twist ties to form a circle and stand it up in the hole. You could also use shipping pallets to form a squarewalled container, or simply pile materials without a restraining wall. ■ Put kitchen waste in the container or pile. Do not put in meat, bones or grease. ■ Add soil or chopped leaves to the pile layered with waste. ■ Keep damp as a wrungout sponge. ■ 'Rim once a month. ■ When compost is ready to use, put the top layer of the compost pile in a new spot and begin to use compost to amend soil. Compost is not a fertilizer replacement; sprinkle in a little 12- 12-12 (nitrogen-potassiumphosphorous) fertilizer if you wish to fertilize along with your compost.

Fire chief served Howell for 3 decades Department grew to 5 stations, 80 employees under his leadership BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News Retiring Fire Chief Jim Reed is surrounded by family, friends and a lot of good memories as he counts down his final days among the rank and file. He will retire from the Howell Area Fire Department Oct. 10 after serving the community for almost 35 years. “It’s been a good run, but I’m ready to retire,” said the 61-yearold, who worked in the city’s building department and police department before joining the fire department. Two of his most memorable moments in the police department include helping to apprehend a serial rapist from Detroit and working to solve a homicide. “(Assailants) shot the clerk to death for $500. Within 30 hours, we had everyone involved locked up.” Working as a detective was rewarding according to Reed, “but I always felt connected in some way to the fire department,” an agency in which he began as a volimteer. When a full-time position opened in the department in 1988, he took it. “It was the best thing I’ve ever done.

Parker Campus eyed for film Movie (deal coultd bring $6 million to Livingston area BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News The mostly unused Parker Campus of Howell High School is on the verge of transforming into a movie set that could pump as much as $6 million into the local economy. While contract negotiations continue for use of the building in Marion Township, production work on a movie called, appropriately enough, “High School,” appears to be on the fast track. The Howell Board of Education is scheduled to vote on the contract in a special meeting on Monday. This week the school board voted to direct Associate Superintendent for Business Rick Terres to negotiate a contract that must include provisions for hands-on learning opportunities for Howell students. Superintendent Ted Gardella said the opportunity presented itself very quickly. “We were approached last week by a film group to utilize Parker to make a movie,” Gardella said. The chance to host the filming, he said, appears to be an outgrowth of a visit community leaders made two months ago to the Michigan Film Office in Lansing, promoting Howell as a great place to make a movie. Various community leaders spoke to the board, saying the entire area would benefit economically. “This thing has happened so fast,” said Howell Area Chamber of Commerce President Pat Convery. “We support any kind of initiative such as this.” Barb Barden, director of the Livingston County Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the opportunity “speaks to me of a real synergy we have going in this community, and to be able to turn this into a training opportunity for our students is a wonderful thing.” Barden said the spinoff effect of SEE MOVIE, A4 What do you think?

Williamson and others along in Hamburg Township were cleaning up Monday as the Huron River dropped below 7 feet and flood waters were steadily receding. More homeowners may raise foundations BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Barbara Williamson has had enough with sandbags and pumping every time her Ore Lake home is threatened by flooding. She has no intention of moving, but Williamson said last week’s bout with rising water has convinced her to give in to her children’s coaxing and get bids to have her home’s foundation raised. “I love it,” she said about the home that’s been in her family since the 1920s. “I don’t ever want to leave.” Swollen by 4 to 6 inches of rain that fell Sept. 12-14, the Huron River near Hamburg crested at 7.6 feet last week. Water is steadily receding and was expected to drop below the river’s 6.5-foot level this week, according to the National Weather Service. Raising foundations by at least a foot above the 100-year flood elevation predictions for Ore Lake is one way township officials say residents might combat the floods that have plagued their homes nearly every year for the last four years. And, with the worst of this most recent flood behind it, the township’s Flood Prevention Committee is looking ahead to what can be done to minimize future flooding. The committee is inviting a representative from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to its Oct. 27 meeting to discuss local infrastructure, such as culverts, bridges and dams. “We’ve done what our budget allows,” said Hamburg Township Supervisor Cindy Pine. “I believe the money for the larger projects we need would have to come from them.” Meanwhile, several community groups have rallied to help the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross, which suffered at least $300,00 worth of damage when floodwaters several feet deep swamped the lower level of its building at 1372 W Grand River Ave. in Howell. While Red Cross officials say most of the damage will be covered by insurance, most of the supplies used when volunteers respond to an emergency were lost and there is a growing need or disaster services in SEE FLOODS, A4 » INDEX Calendar A9 Livingston Life A7-A9 Property Sales map A10 Rick Fitzgerald's column A7 Sports B1-B2 Volunteers A10 For the record - Errors of fact \Arill be promptly corrected.To report an error, please call managing editor Rick Fitzgerald at (810) 844-2004.

For the past seven years, Karfonta has been with the Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston County, starting out as a volunteer, and most recently, as manager of the County Distribution Center. “I’m looking forward to taking some of my experience in the nonprofit sector at Gleaners and trying to improve and do more with OLHSA, where we face a tight budget year next year,” Karfonta said. Beverly Mostowy who had been the OLHSA acting director in Livingston County, said the agency was “very pleased” to have Karfonta joining the team. “Erica is very passionate about ending poverty in our community, and I know she will work hard to that end,” Mostowy said.

Cleanup slated for Howell's Lucy Road Park Remediation expected to take up to 6 weeks BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community A/ews Cleanup will begin next month at Lucy Road Park in Genoa Township, bringing 20 years of frustration to an end for city of Howell officials. A letter of understanding between the city and M.A. Hannah Plastic Group Inc., the company responsible for the contamination, was approved by city council members Monday. “Please God, let this happen,” said Howell Mayor Gerr ri Moen. The city-owned, 40-acre parcel had been used most recently as a park, but was closed down in 1988 when water samples were found to be laced with tetrahydrofuran, a “highly flammable” industrial compound, said Rebecca Taylor, district project manager for the state’s Department of Environmental Quality. THF, used as a plastic dissolving solvent, is “readily dissolved in water” but only “one of the many compounds” on the site, said Taylor. Others are the result of garbage breaking down in the former city landfill. According to Howell City Manager Shea Charles, THF hot spots will be dug up, moved to a six-acre mound on the property, covered with dirt, vegetation and fenced off. Additional methane vents will be installed and monitoring will continue until 2038. “We’ve spent 20 years getting to this point,” said Charles, “and in excess of $1 million.” The new plan will cost about $800,000, with the city and Hannah Group splitting the bill 40-60. The site, which sits about a half mile south of East Grand River Avenue, has been sealed off with iron gates, thick foliage and “No TVespass” signs. “When it is finally done, this will be a huge relief to the city. It has been a financial drain,” said Mayor Pro Tern Steve Manor. Remediation is expected to last up to six weeks, leaving the 34 acres surrounding the mound according to state residential standards, although there are no immediate plans for the area to be part of a planned residential neighborhood. Charles said future uses have yet to be determined by city council. Laurie Humphrey can be reached at ihumphrey® iivingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2003.

Commissioners told the petitioner Sept. 11 to return with a revised plan. Board members will address the issue at their regular 7 p.ni. meeting Nov. 13. From News staff reports LETTERS Why not spread lottery winnings? Fellow Michigan citizens: Let’s try something different, if you have the courage. The Michigan Lotto and Mega Millions can give away as much as 20, 30, or more millions of dollars each week. This makes one or two people rich but does not add to our economy. The state’s share is, of course, very good. Instead of giving one or two people that amount of money, why not give away $100,000 to 300 winners. Thr^ hundred wiimers will put the money back into the state. That’s 15,600 winners putting money back to work instead of 52 winners who do not put their winnings back to work. This could also increase the sale of tickets. Robert W. Mayer, Brighton Write us S e n d c o r re sp o n d e n c e to: Letters, T h e L iv in g s to n C om m u n it y News, 4 2 0 W.

DDA won't expand | The Brighton Downtown Development Authority board has voted not to expand its boundaries to include the site of a proposed athletic club. The DDA was asked by developer Mark Murphy to consider expanding so he could pursue a liquor license for an facility he wants to build called The Club on property on Nemco Way. Current DDA boundaries include the eastern part of the Brighton Towne Square development, but not the part that would include The (^lub. Expanding the DDA would have enabled Murphy to apply ^ for a redevelopment liquor license, which takes advantage of a state law that allows more licenses in a given area based on the amount of investment in the last five years. “We figure we’ve got as much as we can take care of M at this time,” DDA administrator Dennis Whitney said. = T H K I IV IN ( ; s iO N = COMMUNITY Rapids, Ml 48916 Published each Friday.

Hamburg police are being assisted by agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. A $2,500 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of those involved. Police have recovered a significant amount of shrapnel from the bombs and are having the materials analyzed, Luciano said. Residents are on alert and assisting police, said Cy Newman, who’s lived in the area for 14 years. “R’s just a shame,” he said. “This is a nice place. R’s a safe neighborhood and then all of a sudden - boom.” The explosions occurred between 9 and 11 p.m. in less than a half-mile radius of each other, Luciano said. Two of the devices damaged two different homes, but no one was injured, he said. “These are dangerous devices,” Luciano said. “They create high-velocity explosions that can send shrapnel up to 100 yards away. Even the person igniting the device is in danger. Pipe bombs can very likely kill you.” Pipe bombs are made from hollow galvanized pipe with threaded ends that can be found at any hardware or building supply store, Luciano said. Explosive chemicals, such as the gun powder used by those who hunt with muzzleloader rifles, are put inside and the ends are capped, he said. The bombs are ignited by a fuse, and the pressure builds up so rapidly inside the pipe that it ruptures with great force, Luciano said. “These are not big fireJIM JAGDFELD, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Livingston County Democratic Party Chairwoman Judy Daubenmeir talks to the media Tuesday about a complaint she's filing over a campaign billboard for Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers on property given to Genoa Township for a Brighton Area Fire Authority station on Chilson Road. With her is Bob Alexander, Rogers' Democratic opponent in November. Political sign prompts complaint Billboard p rom o tin g Rogers sits on fire station p ro p e rty BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News Livingston Counly Democrats filed two complaints Tliesday with the Michigan Department of State, charging Genoa Township and the Brighton Area Fire Authority with violating state campaign finance law by allowing a campaign billboard on public property. The sign, which proclaims “Rogers for Congress,” herdds the candidacy of incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton. R sits on the grounds of a Genoa Township fire station, which is operated by the Brighton Area Fire Authority at 1-96 and Chilson Road. The property for the fire station was donated to the township with the stipulation that the township not interfere with the message on the billboard. Democratic Party Chairwoman Judy Daubenmeier said she was confident state election officials would agree that the sign violates state law. The law prohibits use of “funds, personnel, office space, computer hardware or software, property, stationery, postage, vehicles, equipment, supplies, or other public resources to make a contribution” for political purposes. Attorney Neal Nielsen donated the two-acre property to use for construction of the new fire station - opened earlier this year - with the stipulation that he be allowed “unlimited and unrestricted” use of the sign. The billboard, which sits along 1-96 between Brighton and Howell, was erected before the land was donated. According to the deed, if the township were to renege, ownership of the land reverts to Nielsen. Genoa Supervisor Gary McCririe, who also chairs the fire authority, continued Tuesday to defend the gift of the property. “I’m satisfied we are saving the taxpayers $300,000 for a fire hall that meets the health, safety and welfare needs of the township,” he said. Rogers’ press secretary, Sylvia Warner, called the sign controversy a matter between the township and the Democratic Party. “The Rogers for Congress campaign has nothing to do with its presence there,” she said 'Riesday. Daubenmeier, flanked by Bob Alexander, Rogers’ Democratic opponent in the November election, announced the formal complaints at a press conference 'Riesday on public right-of-way near the sign. “I’m not asking that the sign be removed, only that the message of the sign be changed to one that is within the law,” Daubenmeier said. McCririe argued that where people stand on the issue depends on their political stripe. “Are we going to have this (objection to the sign) if Neal Nielsen suddenly changes his political affiliation and has a Democrat on the sign? I think not,” McCririe said. But Daubenmeier said the issue is much broader than this year’s congressional race. In the future the sign could be used to promote the candidacy of “someone running in the Republican primary against the township supervisor or other official o r ... a Libertarian or other third party candidate. How will township officials then feel about the use of the sign for political purposes?” she said. Daubenmeier said the board should have discussed the ramifications of the gift before unanimously approving the offer of the land. Township Clerk Polly Skolarus has said there was no discussion prior to a vote and that she regrets she voted to accept the land because of the restrictions. McCririe said every member had ample opportunity to read the deed since it was in the meeting packet that all members received. “They all read it, or could have,” he said. “Sometimes you’ve got to say ‘Thanks, but no thanks,”’ Daubenmeier responded. Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810- 844-2009. crackers,” he said. “They are bombs and they are far more powerful than fireworks, even illegal fireworks.” While pipe bombs can be set off as pranks, that’s not usually the case, Luciano said. They are most often made and set off by someone who has a desire to create something to destroy something else, he said. “You just wonder what the intent is?” Newman asked. Police are investigating every possibility from pranks and experimentation to a potential rehearsal for a bigger event, Luciano said. Manufacturing explosive devices and possession of materials to make an explosive device are federal and state crimes that can carry a sentence of up to life in prison if someone is killed, he said. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 810- 231-9391 or the ATF at 888- ATF-BOMBS. Ann Arbor News reporter Susan L Oppat contributed to this report.

Clerk finalists named BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Pinckney officials will interview four finalists for village clerk, which is now an appointed job instead of an elected one. Amy Felty, Pinckney’s clerk since 2004, however, isn’t one of them. In a letter to the village council dated Sept. 4, Felty resigned from the position citing personal concerns. Her last day was Sept. 18. The 30-hour work week without benefits, such as vacation and health care, that the council approved for the job last month did not fit with Felty’s needs, she said. The village received 22 applications for the position, which were narrowed down to four finalists by its personnel committee of 'ITustees Linda Lavey and Tom Pais and resident Carol Norman, with assistance from Village President Rebecca Foster. The finalists are Pam Kekes, former operator of a nonprofit organization and current member of the Putnam Township Zoning Board of Appeals; Mindi Lako, a former employee of the village of Fowlerville; Carol Makushik, a former Putnam Township employee, and Cheryl Tobey. “They all have applicable office skills and experience,” Foster said. “They are a good field of finalists and I’m pretty confident we will find someone well-suited for the job.” The personnel committee and Foster will conduct interviews Oct. 1 and Oct. 8. The council hopes to appoint the clerk at its Oct. 13 regular meeting, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in Village Hall, 220 S. Howell St. The new clerk will be paid $18-821 per hour, which is in alignment with the salary of the elected clerk. Making the job appointed makes the clerk accountable to the Council, as it has the final say on who gets hired, and reduces the risk of an unqualified person being elected into the position based on popularity, council members said. Leanne Smith can be reached at ismith® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. Pinckney Village Clerk Amy Felty resigned her elected seat and won't apply for the new appointed clerk's position. Felty held the elected post since 2004. Reach us!

Key Bmik and the W4 Country radio station (102.9 FM) will host a fundraiser for the Red Cross today at the Hamburg Township Police Department on Merrill Road. The event runs from 6:30 to 10 a.m. There will be a similar fundraiser Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Summerville of Brighton, 833 E. Grand River Ave., and there is another one scheduled for 6:30 to 10 a.m. Oct. 3 at the Pinckney Police Department. All Livingston County Fire Departments are planning a fundi^ser on Saturday, Oct. 18. Diane Serra, executive director of the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross, said donations of money are always helpful because they allow the chapter to buy what’s needed most. However, donation of things like bottled water and Gatorade, soap, toothpaste, and clothing items like new wash cloths, socks, gloves, hats and blankets also are needed. Hamburg Township’s flood control efforts have included harvesting of the invasive curly leaf pondweed in 2005 and 2006. The weed starts growing in April, peaks in May and drops its seeds and dies by the end of June. The state Department of Natural Resources prohibits the township from harvesting between May 1 and June 30 due to the spawning of nongame fish that bass feed on and some state-threatened fish species. That, combined with a cold April, halted weed harvesting this year.

River levels in Hamburg were a foot lower in June 2007 than they were the year before, he said. Still, something “choked” the river between M-36 and the Hamburg Road bridge this month, Costello said. He and Matt FYy, the DNR’s southern Michigan natural rivers administrator, agree growth of the native eel grass, spurred by a dry summer that lowered the river and exposed the weed to more sunlight, could be at fault. The flood prevention committee is going to look at future summertime harvesting of this grass, as well as possible dredging of the river to help improve flow. While officials are now looking forward, many Ore Lake residents, who a week ago feared the worst, are today counting their blessings. “We were Iuc Iq ?,” said Jim Tisch, a 22-year Ore Lake resident, who raised his home’s foundation after flood waters hit 8.13 feet in May 2004. “The water didn’t get into the garage and it didn’t come up through the floor boards this time.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@livingstoncommunitynews. com or at810-844-2011.

In return, area residents watched as Reed grew the fire department from one station to five and raised staffing &Dm about 25 to 80. He also helped usher in the area’s fire authority, a cost-savings move for all of the communities being served: The city of Howell and the townships of Marion, Howell, Oceola and Cohoctah. “That took a couple of years off my life,” he joked. “That was a lot of hard work.” Reed has no immediate plans to relocate, begin new hobbies, or set off for a 50-state tour of our nation’s treasured sites. Instead, he plans to do some fishing and spend time with family. “We just found out that our son Dan (a federal agent with the U.S. Boarder Patrol assigned to the Mountain Drug Team in Arizona) will be transferred to Detroit by the time I retire. We are just tickled pink.” His daughters, Kate and Callie, are still in the Howell area. Reed also will devote more time to fly-fishing and fly tying, activities that have brought him sbc world championships from the Federation of Fly Fishers as well as the admiration of some of his co-workers. “I’m going to miss his fishing stories,” said Howell’s Director of Public Services Erv Suida. Reed introduced Suida to fly-fishing, showed him some popular haunts and even offered some pointers, “but I’m nowhere near the quality of him,” Suida said. Deputy Fire Chief Andy Pless, who was just named as the department’s interim chief, also learned a few things from Reed.

Reed has no reservations about his retirement, having just secured the future for those he loves. With the passage of the fire millage and the college graduation of his third child, “now I’m going to sit back and watch their careers,” he said. Father won't face charge Death of toddler in hot truck called unintentional B Y S U S A N L .O P P A T The Livingston Community News The father of a Green Oak Township toddler who died in sweltering heat inside a pickup truck won’t be charged in her death because he didn’t intend to leave her there, according to Livingston County prosecutors. Eighteen-month-old Alyssa Stouffer died July 16 after she was left in the pickup truck in the family’s driveway for about five hours on a 90-degree day. Prosecutor David F. Morse announced Sept. 17. Morse said an autopsy confirmed that Alyssa died of hyperthermia. Green Oak Township police determined that 29- year-old Brian Stouffer’s usual routine was disrupted that day, and he simply forgot her in his pickup truck because he was preoccupied. Morse said police learned that Stouffer usually took his children, 3-year-old Conor and Alyssa, to day care on his way to work. The children went to different day care centers. His wife, Laura, picked them up. On July 16, Stouffer had the day off. But he knew he would be busy dealing with the family’s financial problems, so he dropped Conor off at day care and stopped at a gas station for fuel and a drink before returning home, Morse said. Morse said Stouffer left the truck in the driveway with the tinted windows up - and Alyssa sleeping in her seat behind Stouffer’s seat. Laura Stouffer picked Conor up after work and later discovered Alyssa had never been at her day care that day. When she asked her husband about Alyssa, Brian Stouffer first said he had dropped her off before realizing she was in the truck, Morse said. While forgetting about the toddler was negligent on the father’s part, investigators believe Stouffer did not make a decision to leave the child behind, Morse said. He said neighbors described both parents as devoted. “Investigators are convinced, and I am convinced, that Brian Stouffer did not make a conscious decision to leave Alyssa in the car,” Morse said. Michigan is one of 36 states that do not make it a crime to leave children unattended in a car, although the state House passed a bill in January that would make it a crime. The bill was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee last February, but there’s no indication the Senate has considered it.

MOVIE FROM A1 In PG-13 comedy plot, pot derails promising student the movie-making process, with hundreds of cast, crew members and extras, would benefit everything from retail stores to the hospitality industry. Terres said the district “would be looking in the six figures - net,” from renting the building and providing related services. Movie producer B.J. Rack told the school board the motion picture has a budget of $9.5 million, of which $6 million would be spent locally by up to 200 people, including cast, crew and others. “It will have a stunning impact” on the local economy,” Rack said. Terres was told the production would likely stretch about three months, from early October until Christmas, with six weeks spent setting up and another six weeks in filming. Rack called the movie an “adult comedy,” stressing that there would be no nudity and the movie probably would be rated PG-13. Rack called the movie “similar to ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,’ ” a 1986 comedy about a high school student who skips school for a day. 'The plot involves a couple of male buddies, one a straight- A student bound for Harvard and the other a loser who regularly smokes pot. According to Rack, the plot takes a twist when the bad student persuades his overachieving friend to try marijuana on the day before graduation, “and it ruins his life.” Gardella emphasized the movie would not be set in “Howell, Michigan” or at “Howell High School,” but would be about students at a fictitious high school. “We don’t want to send a message to kids (encouraging use of illegal substances),” Board President Ed Literski said. But Literski was encouraged when told the moral of the story is that drug use is destructive. “High School” would be the latest in a spate of movies being filmed in Michigan this year as the result of recent legislation that provides significant tax credits. About six movie projects are being filmed in the state, most in the metro Detroit area. “It’s an opportunity for the city of Howell and our school system,” said Board Vice President Jeannine Pratt.

Last week CS Partners, the company that manages the charter school, opened its first preschool program and this fall the school added a ninth-grade class to its K-8 program. Both new programs are being housed at in a new facility at 2100 Progressive Drive, about one mile east of the existing academy. Chuck Stockwell, president of CS Partners, said the plan is to add more high school levels in the next few years, and by fall of 2011, to have a separate high school building. “We had 46 students graduate fir)m eighth-grade last spring and 32 of them stayed with the school and make up our ninth-grade,” he said. Enrollment is 720 students, which is close to capacity, and that there is a waiting list, he added. Students come from Livingston County as well as from the Fenton and Milford areas. Stockwell said both the ninthgraders and middle school students at the academy are now participating in cross coun- Pinckney gets MEA analysis Claim: District can afford raises JESSICA MCINTYRE,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS From left: Nadan Samyra, 1, Austin Bray, L a n d Aiden Ferris, 2, play at the "sensory table" in their sprouts class - for children 15 months to 36 months - at the Garden Gate Montessori School. try events and are part of an athletic league that includes private and charter schools. Stockwell Academy also has a basketball team. “We recently started a chess club, and will have the first regional invitational chess match at the academy this fall,” said Stockwell. “We also have a Lego league and Odyssey of the Mind teams.” Last week, CS Partners, which works with nine schools in Southeast Michigan, opened its first preschool, among several planned development centers for the infant to preschool age group. Called Garden Gate Montessori, it is located where the high school is being built, one mile east of US-23, south ofM59. “We’re close to being full and have a capacity for 75 students,” says Stoclwell. “Montessori has a lot of similarities to our philosophy at the Charyl Stockwell Academy. We take a developmental approach where students have a lot of choices, and activities manage the intellectual environment rather than the teacher lecturing.” “This is a home away fi'om home for children,” said Betsy Krupanslg'; director of Garden Gate Montessori. “Parents can go to work, knowing children will be educated in a Montessori environment. We look at the whole child and base our mission on helping them grow at their own rate.” The Charyl Stockwell Academy also has established an Education Foundation with the goal of raising funds that could be used to encourage the retention of teachers. The foundation is having its first golf outing fundraiser Saturday at The Majestic at Lake Walden in Hartland Township.

Fowlerville hosts sou p cook-off fu n d raise r BY L IN D A THEIL News Special Writer Denise Brown is perfecting her recipe for Loaded Potato Soup to serve at the soup cook-off coming up Nov. 5 at the Fowlerville VFW “I’m making a Cheddar potato soup that could be loaded with crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and sour cream to make it like a loaded potato,” Denise said. “Basically, that’s . a winter thing with me.” Denise and her husband, Bruce, are organizing the soup cook-off to raise money for the Fowlerville Fourth of July Fireworks and Parade Committee. The group’s annual spring chili cook-off has been so successful, they hope to increase their success with hearty soups of all culinary traditions this fall. “We’re trying to do different fundraisers to raise money we need,” Bruce Brown said. “Last year we spent $11,300 on the event for fireworks and entertainment. This year trying to raise $10,000 and we still need $6,000.” The Fourth of July celebration includes a parade, a $10,000 fireworks show, karaoke contest, food vendors and live entertainment in Community Park. Bands scheduled for the 2009 event are Julie Hawes and Flinhouse, and Yankeeville. The event is free to the public and is funded entirely with donations. This summer more than 12,000 people attended the event. To support the fundraising effort and showcase soup-making talents, cooks are urged to call Bruce Brown to register as a competitor. A $10 fee will be refunded when cooks arrive with eight quarts of soup for the competition. Deadline for registration is Oct. 22. BY STEPHENIE KOEHN Ne\ys Special Writer The Pinckney Community Schools are not broke and, through appropriate planning, could easily afford to pay teachers more and maintain current insurance benefits, says a Michigan Education Association financial analyst. Arch Lewis spoke last week at a community forum sponsored by the Pinckney Education Association. Using numbers he said he gleaned from the district’s recent audits and other district information, he told an audience of some 60 teachers and community members that, far from being broke, “the district has always had more revenues than expenses” in its general fund for the past five years. By general fund, he explained, he meant that portion of the budget directly related to providing an education, including its surplus. Pinckney, Lewis said, already has the capacity to meet its day-to-day expenses. “There’s a lot more (Michigan school districts) that are worse,” he said. Superintendent Dan Danosl^ said he thinks “the spin is misleading.” Danosky, along with teachers and district administrators, saw the presentation earlier in the week. “His plan is oversimplified.” There is no short-term relief in this plan, despite what Lewis says, Danosky said. As for paying teachers to get further education, he said the district already does that, in effect. “As their education increases, so do their salaries.” And, Lewis “assumes that the numbers tell the whole story,” said Danosky. “They can’t.” Lewis said a “lack of planning gets a district in a downward spiral.” If the district looks ahead, to project enrollment through 2012, it won’t have to “disrupt” programs,” he said. Merely decreasing the student-to-staff ratio from 20-to-l to 19-to-l will cost a district in excess of $1.9 million, he said. Student-to-staff ratios in Pinckney over the past five years have swung between 19-to-l and 18.6-to-l. “There are big (studentto- stafO swings in Pinckney,” he noted, adding that they are due to costs that weren’t planned for in advance. “The cumulative cost (to the district) over 10 years has been about $10 million. “We cost ourselves money because we didn’t plan,” he said. “If the district is experiencing financial difficulties, it’s because they’ve failed to align their resources with their educational strategy and instructional capacity.” Planning that includes using all revenues each year and staffing in sync with enrollment could save the district roughly $3.5. million over the next five years, Lewis said. Decreasing staff through attrition is part of the picture. So is broadening staff certification through districtfunded continuing education. “You can’t get there by ‘cutting corners.’ The only way to get there is by planning ahead.” With sufficient planning, Pinckney schools could show a surplus of $8.5 million at the end of the next five years, Lewis said. “This is an absolutely workable plan,” said Mimi Katakowski, a Farley Hill Elementary School teacher and president of the Pinckney Education Association teachers union. “We have provided the district with the tools to make it thrive - to end up with a fund surplus.” Meanwhile, Pinckney’s 267 teachers appear to be no closer to a contract than they were in August 2007, when their contract expired. The contract, according to Brian Higgins, Pinckney’s assistant superintendent of personnel, is snagged on wages and health care costs. “It’s still up to the teachers,” Danosl^ said of contract hopes. “They’re still sitting on a proposal we can’t afford.” Heavy luggage w e igh in g you dow n ?

Cheryl Harper, 56, and Edward Gierlach, 91, were mauled to death after Cockrell’s dogs crawled under a fence at her property across the road from where the attacks occurred. Cockrell, 52, was sentenced Sept. 18 by Livingston County Circuit Judge Stanley Latreille to a minimum of three years, seven months and a maximum of 15 years in prison. She also was ordered to pay $30,726 in restitution to the victims’ families. The punishment was part of a sentencing agreement reached last month with Prosecutor David Morse. Cockrell pleaded no contest to charges of possessing dangerous animals causing death, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, and allowing dogs to stray, a 90-day misdemeanor. A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing purposes. Cockrell surprised some in the packed courtroom by saying she knew both victims. “I remember (Cheryl Harper) was just a light,” Cockrell said, adding that Harper talked with her about her children. “(Ed Gierlach) was trying to teach me how to grow plants. He was a wonderful person, and I am just devastated.” The victims’ relatives also spoke at the hearing. “My kid is now deathly afraid of dogs; I hope this doesn’t affect her for the rest of her life,” said Todd Harper of Hartland Township, one of Cheryl Harper’s sons. He also read a letter his daughter wrote to the judge: “I really miss her hugs and kisses, her taking me to the pond to fish. She was the only grandmother I had left.” “Imagine finding a loved one the way my father and uncle found (Ed Gierlach) that day, and having those images in your mind the rest of your life,” said Jim Gierlach, Gierlach’s grandson. Ed Gierlach was in his driveway when he was attacked by four of Cockrell’s dogs. Harper, who was on a walk, was found 150 feet away. Later the family released this statement: “The Gierlach family is satisfied with the outcome of the plea agreement and sentencing, and would like to publicly thank everyone in bringing this tragic case to an agreeable settlement. ... Please accept our most sincere thanks and appreciation.” Latreille agreed to allow Cockrell to delay serving her sentence until Jan. 2 so she can have previously scheduled surgery. Harper’s sons objected, saying that by the end of the year they will have missed two Christmases and two Thanksgivings with their mother, but Cockrell will be with her family. The families also disagreed with the length of the sentence. “I feel (Cockrell) deserved to get a harsher sentence,” Todd Harper said. “I feel she deserved at least five to seven years.” Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009. Brighton Twp. chooses new manager Larry Stoever is former Saline city manager BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News Brighton Township Interim Manager Bob Hamilton said this week he is “very close” to reaching agreement with former Saline city manager Larry Stoever to be the new township manager. Stoever accepted a conditional offer last week from the Township Board of TVustees after it selected him to replace David Murphy, who is now city manager in South Lyon. Stoever resigned last October as Saline’s top administrator after a decade in the position. Hamilton expects the employment agreement to be ready for action by the board at its meeting on Oct. 6. Hamilton said Stoever comes with strong qualifications, having been city manager in Saline and Greenville, 111., adding he “has over 20 years as a city manager and in planning and economic development.” The other two candidates for the manager’s position were Scio Township Manager Darrell Fecho and Fred Zorn, who dropped out of the running after accepting a position with the city of Inkster. Fecho is a past Brighton Township manager, leaving in 2001 to accept a position in private industry. Stoever has master’s degrees in business administration and in urban and regional planning.

PUTNAM TOWNSHIP FIRE MILLAGE RENEWAL Shall the previously voted increase in the tax limitation and levy, imposed under Article IX, Sec. 6 of the Michigan Constitution, be renewed in an amount not to exceed 1.1923 mills ($1.1923 per $1,000 of taxable value) against all taxable real and tangible personal property within Putnam Township, Livingston County, Michigan, for a period of six (6) years, 2009 to 2014, inclusive, for the purposes of operating, equipping, and purchasing for the fire department or for any other purpose authorized by law for fire service purposes; and shall the Township levy such renewal In millage for said purposes the estimate of the revenue the Township will collect if the millage is approved and levied by the Township in the 2009 calendar year is approximately $419,300. BRIGHTON AREA SCHOOLS BOND PROPOSAL Shall the Brighton Area Schools, County of Livingston, Michigan, borrow the principal sum of not to exceed Fifteen Million One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($15,160,000) and issue its unlimited tax general obligation bonds for the purpose of defraying the cost of: • furnishing, refurnishing, equipping and reequipping School District buildings, including the acquisition of school buses; and • acquiring and installing technology infrastructure and equipment in and for the purpose of connecting School District buildings? Yes No The School District estimates that the debt millage levy required to retire the bonds of the District currently outstanding and proposed by this ballot proposal will be at or below 0.48 mills more than the School District’s current debt levy of 5.20 mills. The estimated millage to be levied in 2009 to service this issue of bonds is 0.80 mills ($0.80 per $1,000 of taxable value) and the estimated simple average annual millage rate required to retire the bonds of this issue is 0.56 mills ($0.56 per $1,000 of taxable value). The bonds may be issued in one or more series, payable in the case of each series in not to exceed 10 years from the date of issue of such series. (Under state law, bond proceeds may not be used to pay teacher or administrator salaries, routine maintenance costs or other School District operating expenses.) BRIGHTON AREA SCHOOLS SINKING FUND PROPOSAL Shall the Brighton Area Schools, County of Livingston, Michigan, be authorized to levy 0.52 mills to create a sinking fund for the purpose of the construction or repair of school buildings and the purchase, improvement and development of sites by increasing the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be imposed on the taxable value of taxable property in the School District for a period of ten (10) years, being the years 2009 to 2018, inclusive? It is estimated that 0.52 mills ($0.52 per $1,000 of taxable valuation) would raise approximately $1,182,535 in the first year that it is levied. Yes No (Under state law, sinking fund proceeds may not be used to pay teacher or administrator salaries.) This Notice is given by order of the Livingston County Election Commission. Margaret M.

That’s the invitation two local doctors are extending to the community this weekend. Instead of telling their patients to take two aspirins and call on Monday, Drs. Rachel Wulf and Nathan Bloch of Main Center Family Medicine of Hamburg are inviting them - and anyone else - to come walk with them Saturday along the Lakelands TYail. The walk “is a way to show how we feel about preventive care and exercise,” explains Wulf. Walkers will gather at 9:15 a.m. at West Beimett Park on Merrill Road and walk along the paved portion of the trail about a mile to Stonehouse Cafe in the Chilson Commons shopping center. After some refreshments, at the cafe, walkers are encouraged to hike back to Bennett Park. A shuttle also will be available. Wulf says the two family physicians want to show the community how passionate they are about the value of regular exercise. “Patients who exercise will live longer,” Wulf says. Wulf says she always feels better when she exercises regularly and she hopes to instill that passion for keeping things moving in her patients. Tap dancing is Wulf’s favorite form of exercise - “I just love it” - although she admits she’s been more of a walker in recent years as she took a break from her medical practice to have children. She joined Bloch in Hamburg in July of 2007. I find it refreshing that two local physicians are moving beyond telling their patients what they should be doing and showing them how to live an active lifestyle. There’s just no down side to being as active as possible. The same cannot be said for sitting on the couch. Roll up your sleeve The Rotary Clubs of Livingston County are having a blood battle Monday and they want you to help by donating a pint of live-giving blood. The blood drive is set for 11 a.m.-4:45 p.m. Monday at the Brighton Community Center, 5554 Brighton St. You can schedule your appointment to minimize waiting by going to the Web site www.givelife.org. Walk-ins also are welcome. The Rotary Clubs are hoping community members will help donate to the drive that was set up in honor of Brighton Rotary Club member Doris Longfellow, who has benefited from more than a gallon of blood transfusions. Donating blood is a painless way that all of us who are healthy can give back to those in need. All it takes is about an hour of your time and you get cookies and juice when its all over. What a deal. Makeup! Let’s se e ... a film producer is on the prowl for a building to use for a couple of months to shoot a movie about a some high school buddies and Howell just happens to have a barely used high school sitting mostly vacant this year. It’s a match made in Hollywood heaven. Making that dream come true is now the job of Rick Terres, assistant superintendent of finance for the Howell Public Schools. Assuming he can work out a deal, the school board is poised to approve a contract that could bring the district more than $100,000 and pump as much as $6 million into the sagging local economy. Who’s complaining about the over-hyped world of movie- making now? Managing Editor Rick Fitzgeraid can be reached at rfitzgeraid@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2004.

Below, Greene, 17 of Green Oak Township plays the role of Stanley during a recent practice. Pinckney Players put on'Holes' Lighthearted novel-based play billed as family friendly BY LEANNE SM ITH The Livingston Community News Combine an ancient curse with onions, teenage angst, yellow spotted lizards and a driedup lake bed and you get “Holes,” the award-winning novel that’s this year’s season-opener for the Pinckney Players. The show takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4 in the Jane Tasch Performing Arts Theatre, 2100 E. M-36, at Pathfinder School in Hamburg Township. Subsequent shows are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 4 and Oct. 11- 12. “This is lighthearted and mysterious and it has lots of warm and fuzzy moments of friendship between boys trying to overcome adversity,” said Laura Clark, who’s producing the show for the Pinckney Players. “It’s especially good for fami- Ues with middle school children.” The Pinckney Players are the first Livingston County theater group to get permission to perform this family friendly show locally. It also was the subject of a 2003 Walt Disney Pictures movie. “We take a lot of pride in being the first to bring a show to the area,” said Lynn Wilde Concannon, Pinckney Players board of directors vice president. “We try very hard to keep bringing in fresh, new shows.” “Holes” tells the story of Stanley Yelnats, an unpopular teenage boy who lives with good but somewhat clueless parents until he gets convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. “He was in the wrong place at the wrong time imder a freeway overpass and got hit in the head by a pair of shoes that were stolen fi’om an orphanage,” said Nick Greene, 17, the Brighton High School senior playing the role. “He blames every- SEE PINCKNEY, A8 'Holes' What: Th e family friendly h um o ro u s adaptation o f the Louis Sachar novel that w o n the 1998 National B o o k Award and 1999 Newbery Medal before being made into a 2003 Disney movie.

Comedy at forefront of center's schedule Second City comedy troupe/Robert Dubac's Male Intellect'and'Queen of Bingo'are coming BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News Comedy is at the forefi'ont of the performances coming to the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts during the 2008-09 season. “The programming committee agreed this year that we could all use more comedy and the chance to spend a few evenings full of laughter,” says Patti Hamilton, cultural arts coorinator for the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts. The three comedy productions for this season are The Second Cily comedy troupe, “Robert Dubac’s Male Intellect; The 2nd Coming!” and “The Queen of Bingo.” The Second City is a touring troupe of comedians that has spawned such famous alumni as Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Gilda Radner, John Candy, Mike Myers and Julia Louis Dreyfus. Robert Dubac is an actor, a comic, a writer and a director who stars in his third in a series of shows about the “Male Intellect.” “He was such a hit with our crowd that we are bringing him back with his new show,” says Hamilton. “It is somewhat of a sequel, but one does not have to have seen last year’s show to thoroughly enjoy this one. He is a master on stage and had our audience in stitches.” 'Two guys play two girls in the Off- Broadway comedy about bingo, family bonds, diet crazes, and sibling rivaliy titled “The Queen of Bingo.” It’s about a night in the lives of “Sis” and “Babe,” two sisters who want to add a little excitement to their lives with a night out at a bingo game. The audience gets to SEE BRIGHTON, A8 A8 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, SE P T EM B ER 26, 2008 3 S E I PINCKNEY FROM A7 Warden tells boys to dig 'to build character' thing bad in his life on a curse put on his family by a gypsy a iong time ago.” “Holes” is the first play for Greene, who says he likes Stanley because “he’s kind of laid back like me.” Stanley ends up at Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp on the site of a dried-up Texas lake. It’s run by a warden who makes the boys dig holes in the desert “to build character.” “Really, she’s trying to find a buried suitcase of money that her father and grandfather before her tried to find,” said Mary Lukowski of South Lyon, who’s taking on the role of the warden for the Pinckney Players. “This is her family legacy, and she’s bitter and she’s mean.” Stanley befriends another troubled boy named Zero. Zero can’t read or write, so Stanley agrees to teach him if he will dig Stanley’s holes for him. That agreement eventually gets the pair in trouble so they flee into the desert and the whole mystery of the “holes” starts to reveal itself. Chris Brandt, 13, a student at Howell’s Highlander Way Middle School, is playing Zero. Although he’s been a veteran actor with the Community Theater of Howell since age 5, this is his first Pinckney Players show. “I found out they were going to do ‘Holes’ and I really wanted to be involved,” Brandt said. “I love the movie, and I’ve probably read the book 20 times. This is really fun, and it’s a great show.” Leanne Smith can be reached at Isrnith© livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011.

They’re all expected in Livingston County at a charity golf outing and dinner put on by Random Acts of Kindness, a foundation created by Brighton couple 'Tim and Lisa Codd. “All proceeds from the event will go to nonprofit organizations,” says Tim Codd. “We want to do everything we can to keep kindness and giving aUve.” Codd, who owns a business in Genoa Township, began the local foundation I^ndom Acts of Kindness. It shares its name with a national foundation. “I was constantly being asked to help out, and it’s hard for me to say no,” says Tim Codd. “But it was becoming physically impossible, so we decided to do If you g o ... ■ What: R a n d om A c ts of K in d n e s s g o l f o u t in g a n d dinner. ■ When: M o n d a y , Sept. 29. ■ Where: O a k Pointe C o u n t ry Club, 4 5 0 0 C lu b Drive, G e n o a Tow nship. ■ Tickets: $100 per d in n e r ticket. ■ Details: 8 1 0 -4 9 4 -0 1 0 0 . something that would let us reach as far as we can.” Codd says that he has become friends with many athletes and other celebrities, who share his passion for helping the community, and that is how Random Acts of Kindness has been able to attract all the people it does to fundraising events like the golf outing and ditmer. The purpose of Random Acts of Kindness is to let the Codds choose local charities and programs to donate to. Tim Codd says the foundation has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars since it was created. “We base our donations on merit,” says Lisa Codd. “If people are already trying to help themselves and they have a program in place, we want to help.” "iWo of the Livingston County organizations supported by Random Acts of Kindness are the Mission Medical Center, a free clinic in Pinckney, and the ARC of Livingston, which the Codds have been involved with because their oldest daughter, who is now 15, has autism. She attends the Pathway School at the Livingston Educational Service Agency. The Codds’ other four children include 8- and 10-year-old daughters who attend Homung Elementary School, and 5- and 3-year-old sons. “Our children come to the events and visit the charities,” says Tim Codd. “It really helps me raise my family. It’s a way to showcase the heart and soul of what Livingston County citizens can do.” This is the third year that Random Acts of Kindness is having its golf outing at Oak Pointe Country Club in Genoa 'Township.

Event's goal: To raise money, awareness Total of 52 teams for both rallies BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News The Fowlerville Fairgrounds and the Hartland High School track will be the settings for 24 hours of walking, remembering, and celebrating life next weekend. Both the Fowlerville Relay for Life and the Hartland Relay for Life take place for 24 hours from Saturday morning, Oct. 4, until Sunday morning, Oct. 5. There are 28 teams that will be walking in the Hartland event, and 23 teams in the Fowlerville event. The Curvaceous Lassies is one of the Fowlerville teams, and Darcy Honaker, who owns Curves in Fowlerville, is a member of the team. “I joined the Relay in 2006, knowing I needed to be involved some way for ladies’ health and well being,” says Honaker. “This year has been very sad with some of my members or their families being afflicted with cancer. A dear friend and member of Curves recently lost her battle with cancer.” Honaker says she has been involved with a number of fundraisers to raise money for cancer research, including collecting bottles and pennies, rummage sales, bake sales and dog walks. “I have a wonderful team of ladies that support and help out with everything,” says Honaker. “Our goal this year is to raise $3,000, and we are almost there.” Teri Buck is the captain of the Miracles and Memories team, which includes employees from TRW in Fowlerville where Buck works. “I wear six Relay for Life bands on my left wrist in honor of the six people in my life that have passed away from cancer,” says Buck. “On my right wrist, I am wearing four Relay for Life bands in honor of my friends and family who are survivors of cancer. These people are why I participate in the Relay for Life.” Buck says there will be Ijoards set up at the Relay, one for survivors at the Relay to sign, and one for memories, where those who have lost a loved one to cancer can place their names. The American Cancer Society always is looking for survivors to participate in its Relay events and says that the moment you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, you are a survivor. Linda Bowen, who is a team captain in the Hartland Relay for Life, was inspired to participate by the cancer survivors in her life. “My husband is a cancer survivor, who had Hodgkin’s disease when he was 10, and my mother is also a cancer survivor,” says Bowen, whose team is the Hartland Community Soccer Association where she works. According to the Michigan State Department of Health, the leading types of cancer for Livingston County residents are breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancers. The leading cause of cancer deaths in Livingston County is lung cancer.

The Eagles have never been 5-0. History alone makes tonight’s home game against Milford a big one. The fact that it is homecoming and a critical game to determine the Kensington Lakes Activities Association’s first west division champ adds to its significance. “It’s the biggest game to date,” said Hartland football coach Marcus Dukes. Dukes has been reminding his team to be “pleased, but not satisfied” with its memorable start. The Eagles are averaging 43.75 points per game. “The offense is clicking,” he said. “It helps that there are multiple weapons out there to score for you. It is tough to defend when you have four or five guys who can get in the end zone.” Hartland isn’t the only area team looking to stay unbeaten. Whitmore Lake wants to keep its four-game streak alive. Here’s a look at this week’s picks: Milford (3-1) at Hartland (4- 0) 7 tonight - Milford’s 38-12 win over Pinckney set up this showdown. Dukes said the team that controls the football and doesn’t turn it over will win. The Mavericks still remember last year’s 42-40 upset the Eagles pulled on the road. Hartland 36, Milford 35. Adrian (4-0) at Brighton (1- 3) 7 tonight -The Bulldogs haven’t scored more than 17 points in a game, a sin in today’s offense-happy world of high school football. Adrian has scored under 40 points just once. Somehow the numbers don’t add up for Brighton. Adrian 39, Brighton 10. Pinckney (1-3) at Howell (3-1) 7 tonight - Howell’s 17- 14 loss at Ann Arbor Pioneer last week is forgivable. The Highlanders should regroup against the Pirates unless they make the dreaded mistake of looking ahead to next week’s showdown with Hartland. Howell 28, Pinckney 14. South Lyon (1-3) at Novi (3- 1) 7 tonight - The Lions have greatly underachieved. Their offense can deliver the home run with speedster Anthony Baskin, but it hasn’t scored more than 20 points in a game yet. Novi 25, South Lyon 17. Morenci (2-2) at Whitmore Lake (4-0) 7 tonight -The TVojans have outscored opponents, 170-24, in the first four weeks, but they don’t want to get too overconfident. They started 4-0 last season before losing to Morenci, 34-7, starting a losing skid that caused them to miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2000 season. Whitmore Lake won’t be caught off guard again. Whitmore Lake 30, Morenci 20. DeWitt (2-2) at Fowlerville (2-2) 7 tonight - So far, neither team has lived up to their preseason hopes. The Gladiators have started 0-2 in the gold division of the Capital Area Activities Association after a 23-0 setback against Haslett. DeWitt has had 10 wins in sbc of its last seven seasons. The loser is facing an uphill struggle to make the playoffs. DeWitt 35, Fowlerville 12. ■ Last week's record: 5-1. ■ Best pick: Hartland 24, Brighton 10.

Pirates expect new talent to emerge Team got heaci start on training trip BY JASON DEEGAN The L iv in gs to n C om m u n ity News A burden weighs heavily on Matt Wines’ mind. As the most experienced runner for the Pinckney cross country team. Wines feels personally responsible for the Pirates this season. He doesn’t want to see Pinckney’s impressive run of good fortune - three straight Division I state titles, two straight individual champions - falter under his watch. “I have to lead a tradition and make it keep going,” he said before practice last week. “There is a ton of pressure from parents, the community.” After a lOth-place finish at the Spartan Invitational Sept. 13, the Pirates, who graduated their top four runners, are in a rare position. They’re flying under the radar, overlooked and underestimated. Wines (81st at the 2007 state meet) and fellow senior co-captain Chris Lotz (104) and junior Tanner Pesonen (195) gained experience at SEE PINCKNEY, 82 Pinckney Community High School senior Matt Wines runs down a trail near the high school.

ANGELA SPOONER, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS 1 soccer team, 2 stories South Lyon succeeds outside division, struggles inside it BY JASON DEEGAN The L iv in gs ton C om m u n ity News The South Lyon boys soccer team has experienced two realities this season. The Lions have showcased their skill and talent while scoring 30 goals in seven games against opponents outside the central division of the new Kensington Lakes Activities Association. But inside their division, it’s a different story. Excluding the two mismatches against South Lyon East, a new varsity program, the Lions have scored just one goal in their division against three of the top teams in the state - No. 1-ranked Plymouth Salem, former No. 2 and now unranked Northville and No. 3 Livonia Stevenson. South Lyon coach 'lYacee Senter said he isn’t discouraged by the results. The Lions (7-6-1, 2-5 in the division) believe they are bridging the gap heading into today’s 5:30 p.m. home rematch with Northville. “Each night out, we get better,” he said at practice earlier this week. “We have to keep improving until we get over the hump. We are down to one-goal losses. “We are playing better than we did last year when we were KVC (Kensington Valley Conference) champs. This will help our program.” While painful now, these losses should pay off later. South Lyon has never won a district title, but they’re better equipped to handle playoff pressure having already been through the fire. “We have a lot more confidence in bigger games,” senior goalie Brian Young said. Young has kept the Lions in games, posting five shutouts on the season. The senior already owns school records for career shutouts (19) and goals against average (.9). He’ll likely break the career saves mark with more than 340 by next week. Senior Jack Green dribbles toward the goal during South Lyon soccer practice. South Lyon senior soccer players Chris Kobayashi, left, and Adam Gentile are among the key team members for the Lions this season. Young isn’t the only Lion finding a home in the school record book. Seniors Chris Kobayashi, Adam Gentile and Jake Green rank 4-5-6 on the all-time points list. Gentile (8 goals this season, 24 overall) or Kobayashi (nine goals, 19 overall) could move up to second on the all-time list for goals scored with a strong late-season push. “We’ve got a lot of good individual talent,” Green said. “We’ve got to work to come together as a team.” Gentile said the Lions need to “keep our heads up and stay positive.” “We are just taking small (moral) victories right now,” Green said. “It is by far the toughest league in the state. We are going to take one (of the ranked teams) by surprise. Constant improvement, that’s what we look for.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. Area coaches sort out life under new Kensington association BY JASON DEEGAN The L iv in gs ton C om m u n ity N ews The race for the first Kensington Lakes Activities Association titles are well under way this fall. Although it’s hard to buck tradition of the old Kensington Valley Conference, some area coaches said they have few complaints about adjusting to life in the new 23-team league with two conferences and four divisions. Still oth- X A c t i v i t i e s A s s o c i a t i o n ers hope changes are in the works after a season of figuring out what works and what doesn’t. Many are taking a waitand- see approach. Each sport will have an end-of-the-season meeting with its assigned commissioner, a KLAA athletic director, to propose changes. Here are some early observations about the league’s effect on the five local schools - Hartland, Howell, Brighton and Pinckney in the west division of the Lakes Conference and South Lyon in the central division of the Kensington Conference - in a number of fall sports. Fewer races There are fewer dual meets on the schedule, allowing cross country coaches to either schedule more invitationals or focus on training instead of worrying about another meet. Howell coach Dawn Webster said she likes having fewer dual meets. “If you don’t have a deep enough squad. we either had to dump (lose) a dual meet or an invite. It gives us some leeway. It gives us more workouts or time to rest people. I like it.” Observation: Fans, media, runners and even some coaches would love to see an all-inclusive KLAA championship meet for all the marbles.

They are, in the back row, from left, Chris Lotz, Marc Cerullo, Michael Lahner and Matt Wines. In the middle row, from left, are Cal Magier, Marcus Rogers and Jake Magier. Junior Tanner Pesonen is in front. states last year. But to contend, the Pirates, ranked 10th in the state in the coaches’ poll, must find some new faces to step up. Juniors Marcus Rogers and Michael Lahner, senior Marc Cerullo and sophomore twins Cal and Jake Magier all are vying to be among the top varsity seven. Lotz, who has been out with leg injuries, shrugs off the notion that this team isn’t talented enough to four-peat. “We’ve got everything it takes to be a championship team,” he said. Wines, at times out front by himself, said it’s been difficult learning to race without Pinckney’s signature fi'ont pack. Coach Tbrn Carney said his secondary pack isn’t that far behind Wines and will be in position to help by the end of the season. Carney called a third-place finish at the Jackson Invitational “a great learning experience.” “The new faces will become a new bo(fy by the end of the season,” Carney said. “They will mature so much. The guys who come out and believe in this program, they don’t realize they can be so good.” Lotz said the Pirates got a “head start” on the season diu"- ing a summer training trip to Wyoming, where the Pirates bonded. “We are more of team now,” Lotz said of the experience. Wmes became the first Pirate to beat Carney during a race up Snow King Mountain. Carney called that a good sign for his top rurmer. But there are other signs, too. The green sign celebrating the program’s three state titles, seen by driving west on M-36 toward downtown, doesn’t have room to add the numbers “2008.” Coincidence or karma? “There are a lot of teams coming after us. They think we are weak,” Wines said. “We are going to beat them.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. 4 ■ - Jrt * % Craig Felix, a Brightonarea resident, was one of six Michigan State Police troopers who teamed up to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics Michigan as part of the 27th Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run Sept. 8-12. Resourceful troopers conquer long relay 750-mile torch run benefits state's Special Olympics BY JASON DEEGAN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity News Craig Felix ran roughly 55 miles during the 27th Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run Sept. 8-12, but it was a dip in the water that was most memorable. Felix, 34, who lives in the Brighton area, was one of six Michigan State Police troopers who teamed up to conquer 750 miles to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics Michigan. His relay team raised more than $10,000 by running from Copper Harbor in the Upper Peninsula to Detroit. Near Mount Pleasant, his team encountered a bridge that was closed due to construction. Instead of wasting time and effort finding a way around it, they borrowed a rowboat to get across. Felix and a partner got into the water to guide the three runners in the boat to the other side. “It was really unique. That has never happened on the run before,” said Felix, a trooper at the Brighton post who participated in the torch run kst year as well. “The water was about chest deep. It felt good to be in the cold water.” Felix, who has run two marathons, said his favorite five-mile leg was running through Marquette. “It was the most beautiful,” he said. The hardest sections were north of Gaylord and through Harrison: “It was hilly,” he said. His calves and quadriceps were still sore a week later. “We are very sleep-deprived and sore (after), but it is a great experience,” he said.

Getting to the championships Here’s how the four division (south, east, west, central) and two conference champions (Kensington, Lakes) will be crowned in the new Kensington Lakes Activities Association this fall, according to the Web site, www.klaasports.org: ■ Boys tennis: Dual meets will determine the four division winners. The two conference tournaments Oct. 4 will decide those champions. ■ Girls golf: Dual-meet records determine divisional champs. Two conference tournaments Oct. 7 decide those winners. ■ Boys soccer: Divisional records will determine onegame playoff matchups Oct. 6 for the division titles. Those winners square off Oct. 8 for the two conference titles. ■ Football: Based on divisional standings, the two conference champions will be determined by crossover games Oct. 17. ■ Cross country: An alldivision race Oct. 14 and dual-meet record count equally for a division title. Separate races Oct. 18 will determine the two conference champs. ■ Volleyball: Volleyball crowns a true champion across all 23 schools, a rare scenario in the KLAA. Teams will play conference matchups Oct. 28 determined by the regular-season divisional standings. The winners will play for the overall championship Oct. 30. ■ Girls swimming: The top six places from the four Nov. 7 division meets - plus the next 12 swimmers regardless of school or division - will do battle the following day in the two conference championship meets. KLAA FROM B1 Schedules cause concern have expressed the most dissatisfaction with the divisions and schedules. South Lyon girls tennis coach Don Valentine laments the fact that he’ll have his best team ever, yet will be subjected to a brutal home-and-away schedule against KLAA central division rivals Novi and Northville. Without Novi, the Brighton boys tennis and girls golf programs could dominate the west division. “I don’t feel it (Novi’s move) benefits us,” Brighton tennis coach Jeff Miner said. “I’d rather have Novi. They are our benchmark. The more competition like that, the better.” Hartland coach Judy Jagdfeld didn’t mince words, saying she “hated” a schedule where her Eagles could end up facing a foe like Howell five times (out of 16 total events). “That’s a good fourth of my season against one opponent,” she said. Several golf coaches had the same concerns with playing each division opponent twice and then later at the conference tournament. “I just would rather play more people. I understand what the motive is. They want to cut down on travel,” Howell girls golf coach Bob Billups said. Observation: This will never happen, but flip-flopping South Lyon and Brighton in tennis and golf would make everybody happy. Brighton’s powerful country club programs seem more at home in the central division with Northville and Novi. With level playing fields, no one would care about scheduling as much. Power leagues By merging with the old Western Lakes Activities Association schools, the KLAA kicks the intensity up a notch in two sports, boys soccer and girls swimming. South Lyon’s move into the central division forms one of the state’s most feared soccer conferences, with, at one point, the top three ranked teams in the state - No. 1 Plymouth Salem, former No. 2 Northville and No. 3 Livonia Stevenson (not to mention Novi). In the pool, six KLAA girls swim programs finished among the top 11 at the Division I state meet last season - Livonia Stevenson (second), South Lyon (third), Northville (fifth), Brighton (seventh), Plymouth Canton (eighth) and Novi (11th). The central division is particularly stacked this season with No. 4-ranked Novi, No. 5 South Lyon, No. 7 Stevenson and honorable mentions Plymouth Salem and Northville. Observation: Every swimmer and soccer player should improve while being pushed by elite competition. If you win a title in these leagues, you’ve earned it. Holding court On the opposite side of the spectrum, sometimes less competition is for the better. The volleyball coaches in the west division are smiling. Gone are powerful Lakeland and Novi programs, and surging South Lyon, leaving the coaches at Hartland, Howell, Pinckney and Brighton all believing their programs have a shot at a division championship, instead of fighting for third, which was often the case in the KVC. “I don’t think there is a clear favorite. Every game will be pretty intense,” Pinckney coach Jen Nighswander said. “They are all good programs.” Observation: Having the chance at a championship every year should boost the spirits of local players and coaches.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2008 Livingston schools take count School enrollment numbers All of the traditional K-12 public school districts in Livingston County lost students this year, according to the Sept. 24 headcount.

Twenty-one students joined the K-5 program, resulting in a 63 percent enrollment increase from the 2007-08 school year. Charter, private schools post student gains But traditional public school losses less than feared From N ew s S ta ff Reports Enrollment at Livingston County’s seven traditional public school districts is down this year, but the good news for some is that the decline isn’t as great as expected. Based on the slumping economy and an ongoing flight of families from Michigan because of it, all of these districts anticipated flat or dropping enrollment this fall when adopting their 2008-09 budgets over the summer. Brighton Area Schools and Howell Public Schools overestimated their declines, which means they could have a little extra money in their budgets this year. The annual “fourth Wednesday” counts were taken Sept. 24. Only Livingston County’s two charter schools saw overall enrollment increases among public schools. SEE NUMBERS,A4 Private education remains in demand Enrollment appears stable or growing at 12 county schools BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The L iv in gs to n C om m u n ity News In contrast to an across-the-board enrollment drop in Livingston County’s traditional K-12 public school districts, enrollment in the county’s private schools was more of a mixed bag this year. While the private schools are not required to count students on a specific day each fall like their public counterparts. The News checked with all 12 of the private schools in the county and found at least four gained students this fall. Some schools posted double-digit gains indicating demand for private education remains strong among some SEE PRIVATE, A4 Students leave Shepherd of the Lakes Lutheran school at the end of their school day earlier this week. The school was one of four private schools in the county to register an enrollment increase this school year.

The school gained 21 new students in a year in which all public school district lost students. www.mlive.com/livingstoncommunitynews P a r k i n g n e e d s s t u d i e d Downtown Brighton may need more spaces BY TOM TOLEN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity News The Brighton Downtown Development authority will move ahead with its first comprehensive parking study in a decade and one of the central questions is this: Does downtown Brighton need a parking structure? Some downtown merchants have complained for years that there isn’t enough parking, and some claim they are losing business to nearby big-box stores and shopping centers with plenty of free parking. Mayor Kate Lawrence says people “are always commenting” that there’s not enough parking downtown. “That’s true,” Lawrence says, “there’s not enough parking in front of specific areas. But we need to assess what’s available overall.” The mayor, who sits on the DDA board of directors, says a parking study is overdue since it’s been about 10 years since the last one. “We always have to assess where we’re at,” she says. The DDA wants to determine what downtown parking needs are and whether more parking - possibly including a parking structure - is warranted to keep up with present and projected demand. The city has 458 parking spaces in public parking lots ' . . . there's not enough parking in front of specific areas. But we need to assess what's available overall.' Brighton Mayor Kate Lawrence (plus the angled spaces on St. Paul and West streets), along with another 113 on-street spaces in the downtown area. DDA Chairman Bob Herbst said the parking problem will be alleviated somewhat by the 45 spaces that will be added next year at the west end of downtown as a result of an agreement between the city and CSX Railroad. “That’s going to help tremendously,” Herbst said. But despite that, the city may still need a parking structure of at least two stories, Herbst said. It would not likely be built in “central downtown” because of poor soil conditions, but would likely be on the perimeter, such as off North Street west of Grand River. The DDA could finance the project using its bonding authority. SEE PARKING, A4 Howell board OKs Parker use for film Students also will learn about the movie business BY TOM TOLEN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity N ew s A key aspect of the Howell school is tr ic t’s $180,000 contract to rent the Parker Campus as a movie set is the stipulation that producers and teachers work together to develop an educational component to the movie-making venture. Superintendent Ted Gardella called that contract provision a first. “No one’s ever done that before,” he said. The Howell school board unanimously approved a contract Monday that will rent an unused portion of the high school building for $15,000 a week for an estimated 12 weeks. The contract called for $180,000 to be paid in advance. District expenses will cut into that by about $60,000, according to estimates for the costs of utilities, custodial and maintenance services and administrative oversight. Shooting for the movie, to be called simply “High School,” could start yet this month. Gardella explained that students in a wide array of course offerings will have the opportunity to learn about the movie business through having speakers in classes and visiting the set at Parker. “I really see more applications in building trades and (career and technical education) in building sets, set design and electrical,” he said. Gardella added that other disciplines, such as performing arts and video and technical classes, also will have opportunities to learn the business.

B1 A2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, OCTO BER 3, 20 08 Mail found in storage unit Authorities discover undelivered items from Howell post office in Fowlerville From the Association Press In an incident that many will see as ripped from the pages of a “Seinfeld” script, more than 9,000 pieces of mail were discovered in a Fowlerville storage unit, stashed there by a letter carrier who just couldn’t keep up with her route, authorities said earlier this week. Some of the mail - first class, magazines and priority parcels - has postmarks dating to 2005. JUl Hull, 34, was a rural mail carrier for 3‘s years until her resignation Aug. 16. Three weeks later, after she fell behind in payments, the storage space in Fowlerville was open^ revealing loads of undelivered mail, postal agent Douglas Mills said. “\^ e n asked why she did it, Hull stated that she could not do the job but needed the job,” MiUs said in an affidavit to support a theft charge filed in federal court in Detroit. Hull cotdd not be reached for comment. In a 1996 episode of “Seinfeld,” Newman (Wayne Knight) stored mail in Jerry’s storage unit instead of delivering it “This is an extremely rare occurrence,” said Breck Nowlin, a senior agent with the Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General. “The mail that was discovered and recovered was all intact. Nothing was opened.” Hull filled in for other carriers, working out of the HoweD post office. A postal spokesman, Ed Moore, said the case is a “black eye” for carriers who faithfulty deliver mail. “The sanctity of the mail is important to us and the American public,” he said. Because the mail is evidence in a criminal case, it’s not known when it finally will be delivered. “It could take some time,” Nowlin said. “Our agents have looked through the mail. Where they have found birthday cards, greeting cards, they took the time to locate some of the people and let them know it will delivered.” IN BRIEF Brighton Flu, pneumonia shots available Flu shots will be given by the Visiting Nurse Association of Southeast Michigan at the Brighton Education and Community Center, 125 S. Church St., from 3-7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15 and at AAA Insurance, 8350 Grand River Ave. in Brighton from 3-5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6. Flu shots cost $25 and pneumonia shots cost $40. Medicare, HAP Priority Health, Blue Care Network, cash or check are accepted. Details: 800-296-8660 or go to www.vna.org. Homebound service is available for a $50 service fee that is not covered by insurance; you must have a physician’s prescription. Call 800-882-5720 ext. 8752. Delays expected on E. Grand River Motorists who regularly use East Grand River Avenue east of Brighton can expect traffic delays over the next two weeks for a $500,000 repaving and repair project. Work on the Livingston County Road Commission project is scheduled to be completed Oct. 10. The area extends from just east of O’Doherty Street in Brighton to the US-23 overpass, east of Whitmore Lake Road. The half-mile stretch of roadway will remain open with occasional lane shifts, said Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine. The project should extend the life of East Grand River Avenue by 10 to 12 years, he said. Crews will repair concrete joints, remove old pavement and apply new asphalt. The work is part of an $8.1 million project expected to be completed by month’s end. Hamburg Township Munivest Financial to manage investments Hamburg Township will become the first Livingston County township to have all of its investments managed by Munivest Financial Group of Southfield, according to Tl^asurer Roberta Balon-Vaughn. This means the township will no longer have accounts containing more than the $100,000 insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., she said. “I want our township residents to know that our funds will be secime, even with the uncertainty that many of the country’s financial institutions are going through,” Balon-Vaughn said. “With Munivest, all of our funds will be insured.” Munivest will manage the township’s money in individual $100,000 certificates of deposit with multiple Michigan banks and provide the treasurer’s office with one combined statement of them, Balon-Vaughn said. The investments will have staggered call dates so funds are available when payments are due, she said. Streamgaging station funded The township Board of Triistees will again give financial support to a device that helps warn residents about rising Huron River waters. The board on Sept. 23 approved spending $3,500 from its 2009-10 budget to help fund the streamgaging station on the Huron River near Hamburg Road. The station is used heavily to monitor and register water levels and potential flooding. Hamburg’s portion pays for one third of the cost to keep the station running. Similar contributions come from Green Oak Township and the Livingston County Board of Commissioners. Matching funds also come from the station’s operator, the U.S. Geological Survey, a division of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Howell Homecoming parade today The Howell High School Homecoming Parade is today at 5 p.m. along Grand River Avenue in HoweU starting at the Barnard Center and ending at Chestnut Street. The school marching band, cheerleading squad and pom pom squad will perform. The homecoming game features the Highlanders hosting the Hartland Eagles. Kickoff time is 7 p.m. Landscaping decisions eyed A state 'fransportation Enhancement Grant to offset about $400,000 in landscaping costs along East Sibley Street was recently rejected. Now members of the Howell Downtown Development Authority will need to determine whether to pay the full $751,00 to buy and install more than 1,000 trees and shrubs, benches and decorative lighting in the newly constructed area. “We will have to take another look at the scope of the project,” said DDA Director Nathan Voght, “but we need to be careful. If we try to cherry pick those elements, we risk compromising the original intent of the design.” While the DDA has the bonding authority and cash reserves needed to complete the project as intended, whether or not they want to is a policy question for the DDA Board of Directors and city council members, said Voght. That decision will have to be made soon, he added. From News staff reports -■*' ' ' V : Green Oak's Lowry to get funds for security work From News staff reports Legislation just passed in the U.S. House of Representatives includes funding for a Brighton- area company to improve security systems for the Michigan National Guard and Michigan Homeland Security. Lowry Computer Products Inc., located in Green Oak Township, south of Brighton, will receive $2.4 million to integrate the MNG base security systems with an evacuation system required by Michigan Homeland Security. Lowry is a manufacturer and integrator of RFID wireless, bar code and data collection solutions. The firm, which employs about 200 people, has been involved in the development and manufacturing of bar code and wireless systems. Last year, Lowry received a $1.6 million federcd appropriation to develop a base security system for National Guard bases in Michigan and a contract with the state of Hawaii to develop an RFID system for food traceability from the field to the consumer. The privately held company earned about $50 million in revenues last year. The legislation allowing the funding was approved on a bipartisan vote and is being sent to President Bush to be signed into law, according to the office of U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, RBrighton.

Now the Green Oak Township clinic is indebted more than ever to the clinic’s executive director, who runs the front desk, handles insurance billing and takes care of building maintenance. Ely has loaned the clinic her life savings of $250,000 to help keep it afloat. Her parents have loaned the clinic another $125,000 as it struggles with delayed reimbursements, patients who can’t afford the pervisit fees and insurance reimbursements that don’t cover costs. The clinic is struggling to stay viable as it faces these challenges in addition to owing $125,000 to the Internal Revenue Service and the state in back payroll taxes. But the community is rallying round the clinic that traditionally has served those with little or no health care insurance for the past 37 years. A recent book sale at the clinic served as a fundraiser and three other events - a concert tonight, a motorcycle poker run and a cut-athon at a local salon - are scheduled. The clinic sees an average of 125 patients a week, many of whom Ely says might otherwise not be able to receive health care. “More patients are losing insurance, and past-due patient payments are more than $120,000. It’s an epidemic. I know you have to draw the line somewhere, but where do you draw that line?” The use of the Livingston County Health Plan by more than 400 patients and the Washtenaw Health Plan by close to 100 patients has been good for those who cannot get other insurance. But it has been bad for the Health clinic What: The Whitmore Lake Health Clinic serves mostly uninsured or under-insured patients. Where: 9690 E. M-36, Whitmore Lake, Green Oak Township.

PHOTOS: A N G E L A 5POO N ER .THE L IVINGSTON C O M M U N IT Y N EW S There were many books to choose from at the Whitmore Lake Health Clinic's annual book sale, one of several fundraisers through which the clinic is trying to raise enough money to continue operations and pay a $100,000 tax bill. clinic, which cannot cover costs with the $24-per-patient visit reimbursement from the health plans. Ely says reimbursements due the clinic from insurance companies are up to 180 days late, and the Livingston and Washtenaw health plans, designed for people who don’t have traditional health insurance, just don’t cover all the costs. “The Livingston Health Plan is the best thing that has happened to the uninsured and the worst thing that has happened to providers,” says Ely, who says many of the patients are underinsured, meaning they either can’t afford their deductibles or that their coverage is inadequate. Gloria Kastanis, operations director for St. Joseph Mercy Medical Group, the physicians department of St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, says that the hospital’s clinics are going through the same financial struggles as the Whitmore Lake Health Clinic. “We have many Washtenaw Health Plan and uninsured patients, and we’ve gotten some assistance from the counties because when you accept that population, there are other needs such as providing the services of social workers and psychologists. I don’t know how we’d do it otherwise. “We’ve also gotten some grants through Trinity Health Systems (which runs St. Joseph Mercy Health Systems.) The people at the Whitmore Lake Health Clinic have done really good work, and the clinic is so needed.” The Whitmore Lake Health Clinic employs two doctors, two medical assistants and Ely, who runs the administrative side of the clinic. She says it’s important to the patients and the community that the clinic keep the building that it’s in, which is easily accessed because of its location just off US-23 on M-36. The clinic was started in 1971 by University of Michigan Medical School residents. That has come full circle as current residents still continue to volunteer and have started an organization to support the clinic. “We believe the clinic serves an important need in the community by providing health care for everyone regardless of their income,” says U-M second-year medical student Jessica Sedley. “The doctors at the clinic are fantastic to work with and spend as long as needed helping to educate patients. I shudder to think what would happen to these patients if the clinic would close, and they’d lose their primary care physicians. They’d probably end up in an emergency room.” More than half of the patients who go to the Whitmore Lake Health Clinic are uninsured or underinsured, a number that Ely says continues to increase. The Clinic’s annual budget is close to $500,000. Lisa Carolin can be reached at Icarolin® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010.

A N G E U SPO O N E R , T H E L IV IN G STO N C O M M U N IT Y N EW S PRIVATE FROM A1 Parents see tuition as investment in the future parents. Stacy Sprague chose to send her son to Shepherd of the Lakes Lutheran School in Brighton Township, one of the schools to post an increase in enrollment. Twenty-one students joined the K-5 program, resulting in a 63 percent increase from the 2007-08 school year. “I see it as an investment in my son’s life,” she said, “so we don’t go on those vacations to the Grand Canyon, and we don’t go out to eat very much.” Sprague, who, serves as the school’s secretary, believes quality academics is important, but so is religious education. “Being in a Christcentered environment, you don’t have the discipline issues here,” she said. According to Principal Ronald Beardsley, the gains over last year were the result of supportive parents and parishioners and dedicated teachers. Word of mouth accounted for 65 percent of the school’s advertising. He projects continued growth. A sixth-grade will be added next year, with future plans to build an addition so that the long-term goal of providing K-12 curriculum for up to 40 students per grade level can be achieved. Enrollment at Holy Spirit Roman Catholic School in Green Oak Township grew to 55 students this year, up 31 percent. Principal Anna Loewe believes the school will continue to grow this fall. “We’re expecting to hit our numbers (needing two more students)” she said, believing new students could enter the county as well as some leaving the public schools. “Maybe they (parents) are not happy with where they’re at, and they see the value of what we have to offer - a back-to-thebasics, high school preparatory program.” Enrollment data from the county’s other Catholic schools - St. Joseph in Howell, St. Mary in Pinckney, and St. Patrick in Brighton - was not yet available, according to a spokeswoman for the Catholic Diocese of Lansing, even though the count was taken Sept. 26. “We use the fourth Friday in September (for a student count) so those numbers are just starting to come in,” said Claudia Kaloz, spokeswoman for Superintendent of Catholic Schools Sister Dorita 'We're expecting to hit our numbers. ... Maybe (parents) are not happy with where they're at, and they see the value of what we have to offer - a back-tothe- basics,high school preparatory program.' Anna Loewe, principal at Holy Spirit Roman Catholic School Watiska. In Pinckney, Livingston Christian School reported a 4 percent increase in students, increasing K-12 enrollment to 170. At Light of the World Academy in Putnam Township, student enrollment dropped by three students or 6 percent in the K-4 school, but officials are confident the numbers will rebound. Fourth-grade was added this year to make good on a promise made when the school was created inside Shalom Lutheran Church. “It was voted on by the school and church board,” said school secretary Lisa Jurzack. The plan was always to add grades as the preschool children moved up. “The motivation was to go up to fourth grade was because in Pinckney schools, middle school starts at the fifth grade.” Fowlerville Christian School, a first-12 program in the village, lost 14 students, or 36 percent of the student body. According to Administrator Heidi Betts “seven kids graduated, two moved out of state and the rest went back to the public schools due to the fact that mom and dad couldn’t afford to pay for it anymore.” In order to contain costs, she budgeted for 23 students, two less that her actual number, and cut staff hours. In addition to serving as the school’s administrator, she also handles some of the secretarial duties, another costsaving measure.

The markers, first installed in 1944, are found across the country as a way to honor those who serve in the military. This marker can be found near the Mill Pond Park pavilion in downtown Brighton. NUMBERS FROM A1 Hartland's Charyl Stockwell Academy has waiting list Brighton’s enrollment of 6,797 is a loss of 84 students from a year ago, but 45 fewer than the district thought it would lose. In Howell, the overall loss of 105 students is 20 fewer than anticipated and far fewer than the 259 students the district lost from 2006 to 2007. Fowlerville Community Schools also is “cautiously optimistic” it will reach-the enrollment of 3,100 students this year’s budget was based on after the fall enrollment numbers are finalized, said Superintendent Ed Alverson. Even at that, the district will have lost 63 students from the year before. “These declining numbers will be a trend until the economy turns around,” he said. “We have 60 to 70 empty homes in our community now and we know we lost 42 kids last year to out-of-state moves. I think we’re all looking forward to the time when Michigan will finally hit bottom and start on its way back up again, but I think that’s still at least a couple of years away.” Pinckney Community Schools took the biggest hit overall, losing 126 students from a year ago. It’s also 14 more than officials estimated when flaring this year’s budget, which means another nearly $101,000 will have to be shaved from a budget that’s already been cut $1.4 million and needs to be cut more to balance by next June 30. “People are walking away from their homes, moving in with family and taking jobs out of state because they’ve lost jobs here,” said Brian Higgins,^ assistant superintendent of personnel. Hartland Consolidated Schools, which saw an enrollment increase of nine students last year, lost 41 students overall this year. This wilt hit Hartland’s budget as the district had projected flat enrollment. “We lost 20 students at our elementary level, 24 at our high school level, and had more than 15 requests for out-of-state records,” said Scott VanEpps, director of personnel and sfrident services. Whitmore Lake counted 1,231, down just 18 from last year. Even South Lyon, which had a gain of 100 students last year, suffered a loss this year. The district was down 13 students overall, but 39 down from figures used to determine this year’s budget, resulting in a loss of about $283,100 in state funding. Hartland Township’s Charyl Stockwell Academy charter school added ninth-grade this fall and had a count of ^ 742, up 72 students from a ’ year ago. Chuck Stockwell, president of CS Partners, which operates the school, said there is a waiting list to get in. Enrollment was also up by 40 students at Kensington Woods High School, another Livingston County charter school. School districts take two student counts during the year - one in September and another in February - to obtain a “blended” count that determines how much operating money local districts get from the state. The fall count makes up 75 percent of the blended total and the February count 25 percent. News staff reporters Lisa Carolin, Leanne Smith and Tom Tolen contributed to this report. MOVIE FROM A1 There will be opportunities for people to be extras Township, who has two middle school children in the district. She said even though the movie will have an anti-drug message, she doesn’t like the fact that one of the protagonists, a high school student, is a habitual drug user who convinces his squeaky-clean, over-achieving buddy to try drugs. “It goes against the nodrug policy,” Katalinich told the board, adding, “It sends the wrong message.” Trustee Wendy Day acknowledged that Katalinich raised a valid point. “But the fact is that an unused building will be used and it will benefit our kids (educationally),” Day said. ' School officials have been assured the movie will have no nudity and probably would have a PG-13 rating. Gardella said previous statements attributed to the movie producer about infusing $6 million into the local community “were overly optimistic.” Gardella said instead it will be more like 60-80 cast and crew members, each with a $60 per day allowance. That expense allowance would be more like $500,000. Still, local officials said the movie’s direct and indirect impact will be significant. “We look forward to their pouring a lot of money into the community and to the tremendous buzz it creates. And we’re real excited about the educational opportunities it creates for our Mds,” said Pat Convery, executive director of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce. Jimmy Wood, a spokesman for Parallel’s The Zone, the production company, said the producers required an unused building and Parker filled the bill perfectly. “It’s Downtown Brighton parking The Brighton D ow n tow n Development Authority is com miss ion ing a study of parking in the d ow n tow n business district. Below are the parking lots and the numbe r spaces PARKING FROM A1 DDA accepting proposals from companies for study The extra parking may be needed to handle planned or pending redevelopment in the downtown district, including the coming Sagano Bistro & Steakhouse, to be situated where BSG Gifts is presently located on West Main next to the alley. Also, a theater-club is being considered next to Stonefire Bistro at West Main and First streets. Farther, Herbst said, more parking will be needed if the proposed Burton-Katzman mixed-use development of apartments and shops comes to the West-North streets area. Even though the plans call for 37 parking spaces in the proposed, 42-unit development, Herbst says the extra spaces would be needed for when residents have visitors, particularly on weekends. “If they are going to build a complex downtown, we are going to need more everyday parlfiig spaces to accommodate the people who are going to be visiting them,” Herbst said. The DDA is current^ accepting proposals from companies interested in doing the study, which will likely be conducted during November and December. No cost figure on the stu(fy is yet available.

Wood said the company wants to shoot as much of the movie as possible this fall because the setting is mythical Monroe High School in Venice Beach, Calif. - a place where Michigan winters don’t exist. The production company will set up production offices at Parker and there will be opportunities for people to be extras, said Associate Superintendent for Business Rick Terres. He said the production company will make announcements to that effect when the time comes. The $72 million Parker High School was used just one year, in 2007-08, for all district students in grades 10-12 while Howell High School was being renovated. The plan was to use Parker as a second high school, but those plans have been indefinitely postponed because of budget problems. The school has been largely mothballed this fall, except for specialized programs such as construction trades and the Livingston County campus of Lansing Community College.

This year seems especially painfiil. At the top of the ballot we will have a new president, and both candidates are offering a constant stream of information through every avenue possible. Those who track campaign spending estimate that more than $1 billion will be spent in the presidential race between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain. , In addition to paid advertis- U ing messages, there will be " countless news stories and interviews, all designed to help voters understand where each candidate stands on issues. At the other end - or the other side - of the ballot are the I state and local proposals deal- ^ ing with issues ranging from p medical marijuana to a sinking fund proposal for the Brighton school district. In between, there are races for Congress, university governing boards, the state Legislature, and a wide array of judicial, county, township and local school board positions. That’s where we come in. For this election cycle, we’re doing our best to be more helpful than ever. Our focus is on the local issues and local races facing voters. But even here in Livingston County, voters will pick two new state legis- L lators, decide three seats on " the Howell school board, pick a district court judge, decide two important money issues for the Brighton Area Schools and shape the face of township government throughout the county. ^ Oh, yes: And help determine W who will be the next president of the United States. This year, we will produce two voter guides to help you navigate through the Nov. 4 General election ballot. One is taking shape online.

Although era of building kit homes is long past, many survive in Livingston County neighborhoods BY LAURIE HUMPHREY AND LEANNE SMITH The L iv in gs to n C om m u n ity News At first glimpse, Keith and Jennifer Chambers’ well-cared-for, old yellow farmhouse in rural Putnam Township often produces sighs of awe from those who stop to buy sweet corn or pumpkins from their roadside stands. If they ask about the Farley Road home that’s been in the family for nearly 100 years, they always hear the same thing - “It’s a Sears & Roebuck kit and it only cost $800.” “They’re always amazed,” Jennifer Chambers says. “We’re really blessed to live here,” adds husband Keith. The home is one of many kit homes - from Sears, Montgomery Ward and others - in Livingston County, although no one knows how many there are. Still, some local families have found strange markings or labels during renovations that have helped to uncover the unique histories of the homes.

Dad got to see the latest in tools and machinery. Mom marveled at the latest clothing fashions and new household appliances destined to make her life easier and kids saw toys they dreamed might show up under their tree at Christmas. In the case of some families, though, the pages of the Sears,, Roebuck & Co. catalog offered the epitome of the American dream - a home. SEE HISTORY, A6 ■ V - . ^ L • ■ ■ ■ •*.. ft.*, » - V .

A6 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, O C TO BER 3, 20 08 HISTORY FROM A5 Homes were shipped by rail While Sears was by no means the only manufacturer and seller of early prefabricated homes, “Sears homes” is like Scotch tape or Kleenex tissues in name recognition for the inexpensive “Wt” homes that often gave fledgling farmers, blue-collar workers, middle-class families, immigrants and single women their first chance to be homeowners. Sears homes were shipped by rail and, because of its network of railroads, Livingston County received its share of them. According to company archives, the 50,000 pounds of lumber and fixtures for each house arrived in up to two boxcars and were hauled by horse cart or truck to a prepared home site, where most people put them together doit- yourself style to save even more money. Just how many Sears homes arrived here is a mystery, as many have been sold by the original families that ordered them and Sears got rid of its home sales records after 1940. Still, some local families have found strange markings or labels on boards during renovations that have led to kit home discoveries and local historical societies have done some sleuthing to locate others. According to historical documents, Michigan was a pioneer in the kit home industry. Bay City-based Aladdin Homes started it all in 1907 with a two-room cottage for $126. Other Bay City mailorder home companies that eventually merged with Aladdin were Sterling and Lewis- Liberty. Bennett ’ Homes in New York, Gordon-Van Tine in Iowa, Pacific Homes in California and Chicago-based Montgomery Ward and Harris Brothers also were part of the movement, which records indicate produced an estimated 500,000 mail-order homes in the 1900s. According to its archives. Sears started selling building materials out of its regular catalog in 1895, but that ^dn’t catch on. The idea was nearly scrapped until a man who was managing the company’s china department stepped in around 1908 with the Modern Homes program that sold house kits straight from the factories, thus eliminating Sears’ storage costs for materials. From 1908 to 1940, Sears archives estimate the company sold up to 75,000 homes in all 48 U.S. states. In all, there were 447 different styles with blueprints that mimicked popular housing styles of the time including Craftsmanstyle bungalows, Spanish Mission models, Dutch colonials, Thdors and Cape Cods. There was the $237 Sumner (1917), a four-room (no bath - outhouse was extra) bungalow with a porch and the $5,140 Magnolia (1918) with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a solarium and servants’ quarters. Though they often had stately names. Sears houses were common homes for common people, according to advertisements. They were inexpensive - up to 40 percent lower than current market rates - but not cheap. They came with knot-fi’ee lumber, cypress shingles, bronze door hinges, glazed windows and granite bathtubs. They also kept up with the times in offering indoor plumbing, central heat and electric wiring as soon as they came into being. Sears homes categories were the top-of-the-line Honor Bilt, such as The Magnolia or The Fairy; the Standard Built, such as The Grant; and the Simplex Sectional, such as The Sunburst, which was a bathroom-less summer cottage. Sears also had kits for outhouses, barns, corncribs and tool sheds. Starting in 1911, Sears offered mortgage loans for customers likely wouldn’t qualify for traditional home loans. This, according to the company archives, was the home program’s downfall. The Great Depression hit, people defaulted on their loans and by 1934, $11 million in mortgages were liquidated by the company. The Modern Homes program built its last kit in 1940, but due to the quality of its product many of the homes are still standing throughout the U.S. and historians continue to try and document and list Sears homes. Leanne Smith can be reached at !smith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. KIT HOMES FROM A5 Proof of origin was hidden in the walls Chambers’ great-grandfather, J.T. Chambers, in 1912. It arrived in about 30,000 pieces via the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad to the depot in Pinckney. Thou^ they don’t know for sure, the Chambers assume everything was carted by horse and wagon to the site on which it still stands. J.T. Chambers put it together himself, but Jennifer Chambers is sure there was plenty of help from nearby farmers. The story that theirs is a Sears house has been passed down through the years. But it took on new meaning when Keith and Jennifer Chambers saw written proof when they started renovations 14 years ago. “We put in new wiring and insulation and took all the old plaster and lath off the walls,” Jennifer Chambers says. “It was fun to see all the shipping labels from Sears when we took all the baseboards off.” The home still has its original windows with rope weights, woodwork and solid wood pillars, too. As it was with all Sears kit homes, everything for this home, including beams, flooring, walls, nails, hinges, paint, siding, doorknobs and downspouts came with the Mt. Character shines Fred and Julie Linahan were drawn to the home at 619 Roosevelt St. in Howell by its character: The wide front porch, stone foundation, original windows and woodwork. That was even before Fred Linahan found cryptic writings on the underside of floorboards, stair casings and windowpanes. The home, which the couple bought in 2006, is a 1920 Montgomery Ward home. “We had heard this was a Montgomery Ward kit (or catalog) house, and this just verifies the ruihor,” says Fred Linahan, remembering his reaction when a windowpane fell into his hands while tinkering in the garage.

DAVENPORT, lA. A check of the city’s records found that Charles Vincent lived in the home with his wife, Alice, and three children during the 1930s. “These were very affordable, real houses,” says Fred Linahan, explaining their appeal. Julie Linahan has another theory as to why local historians say Howell has several kit homes: “Because of the two train tracks.” Most kits homes were shipped by rail. Well-built homes Robert Schauer was bom in a Sears kit home. His parents, Arthur and Alice, built at 709 N. Barnard St. in Howell for $5,000 in 1930. He remembers the rough plaster walls, large bedrooms, exterior planks that never held paint well, and gravity heat (pass-through vents that allowed heat to rise to the second floor.) “It was cold in the winter,” he says. “But that house was wellbuilt,” Schauer says. “It was built with products of the 1930s where a 2-by4 was a 2-by-4.” Preserving history Phil Smith lives in the Avoca, one of the kit home styles available from Sears in 1920. 'The home on Bishop Road in Green Oak Township has been in his wife’s family since 1926. Featuring oak doors, a leaded- glass window in the front bay, a built-in china cabinet and embellished oak staircase Below, a leaded-glass window, which was an original feature of the Wenzel family home model called the Avoca. with newel posts, the home retailed for $590 to $1,754. Today, the house lived in by Smith, his wife Jeannie (Wenzel,) and their son, Nick, would be worth much more. But it’s not about the monetary investment, according to Phil Smith. “When you live in an old house, you’re caretakers. You need to leave the building for future generations.” The history of the home was the focus of a 2004 graduate student’s thesis, according to Smith. He is happy to have the home’s history, and owners’ commentary, documented. “'This house does tell a story as it goes through time.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@livingstoncommunitynews. com or810-844-2011.

According to the Sears archives,blocks or posts were included for use at spots where complex joints met to help simplify construction for novice homebuilders and possibly hide imperfect cuts.

Transplant recipients * get help Support group starts in Brighton Township | BY LISA CAROLIN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity N ews When Genoa 'Township resident Steve Reichardt received a liver transplant 15 years ago, he was greatly helped by a support group at the University of Michigan, where he had his surgery. “I got a lot out of the meetings, and it was helpful for my wife, too,” says Reichardt. “By being in the support group, I realized how lucty I was, and other people could learn from me about what I had gone through.” Now Reichardt has started his own transplant support 4 group at St. Mary Magd^en Catholic Church in Brighton Township. The monthly meetings are open to the public for anyone of any faith. “We invite anyone interested in getting information on trans- ^ plants, or if you’re contemplat- " ing a transplant, or are a caregiver, or if you’re thinking about being a donor,” says Reichardt. B ^ Paison, a support group participant, donated a kidney to her son. “I was blessed that my kidney matched his,” she says. “It was more than two years ago, and he’s doing very well. I am also a social worker who has worked with people with kidney disease. It’s a family disease, and it’s difficult to go through it on their own. When I saw that this support group was being offered, I was incredibly happy.” Support group participant ^ Sue Hinkson also is pleased to be involved. “My husband was a kidney transplant recipient from our daughter,” says Hinkson. “The support group has given us a voice to be around people who truly understand what it’s like, and that helps a 4 lot.” Kim Zasa, volunteer coordinator for the Gift of Life Michigan, has spoken to the group at St. Mary Magdalen. “The support group offers an opportunity for community members to come together in a safe environment and to get support from one another,” says Zasa. “We also hope to_ encourage people to sign up for Michigan’s organ donor registry. There are currently 3,197 people in Michigan waiting for transplants, and that list is growing every day.” She says that organ transplants have been successful for more than 50 years, and that M 25,000 people a year in the U.S. receive a transplant Lisa Carol in can be reached at lcarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010.

Locals can reap rewards of art at Harvest 2008 This year, Art Guild will award scholarship to college student BY LISA CAROLIN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity N ews Livingston County artists and residents will have the chance to express their appreciation for the visual arts this weekend at Art Harvest 2008, the Brighton Art Guild’s third annual communitywide juried exhibition. In addition to exhibiting the works of artists who live in the county, Art Harvest offers a venue for student artists. Cash awards are given to high school artists, college artists and adult artists. For the first time, the Guild will award a $500 Norma Gray Scholarship for college art students sponsored by the Longfield family. Gray is one of the Guild’s founding members. “The Longfield Charitable Foundation donated $5,000 to the Brighton Art Guild for 2008 with the request that a $500 scholarship be given annually for the next three years to a college art student and be in my name,” says Gray. “I am honored.” The artwork at the exhibition includes framed original artwork in a variety of media including oil, acrylic, water color pastel, charcoal, photography, clay, wood and more. “Our mission is to foster and encourage the expression of the visual arts,” says Carole McGeehan, Guild board member “In the truest pursuit of that mission, guild member Janet Shoemacher worked to create an annual exhibition that included all of Livingston County.” There is a free reception open to the public Saturday evening, which provides an opportunity for people to meet the artists. There also will be live music and refreshments. Members of the public can cast ballots for the People’s Choice Award during the exhibition hours with a $1 donation to the Brighton Art Guild. The ballots will be counted Sunday at 4 p.m. and the winner announced. Lisa Carotin can be reached at lcarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010.

Hartland’s visit to Howell could decide the Kensington Lakes Activities Association’s west division title. The Highlanders, who have beaten Milford, would clinch at least a tie for the title with a win. Hartland, reeling from a 17-13 loss to Milford last week, would force a three-way tie with the Highlanders and Mavericks with a road win. In the KLAA’s central division, a new rivalry will be bom when South Lyon East clashes with South Lyon. The game doesn’t mean much in the standings, but it means a whole lot to the community. The Wedeslgf family - with sons Eric, a Lion lineman, and Colin, a Cougar tight end-defensive end - will be among the many with split allegiances. It likely won’t be much of a game -East’s senior-less squad loses by an average of 37 points per game - but it will set the tone for years to come. “I see great battles in the future,” South Lyon senior wide receiver-defensive back Eric lyahla said before the season. “They’re young. They’ve got a good coach. I can’t wait to start the rivalry off right.” Here are this week’s picks: South Lyon East (0-5) at South Lyon (1-4), 7 p.m. - The Lions have lost four straight, their worst slide since starting the 2000 season 0-4. The Lions can take their frustrations out on their cross-town rivals. South Lyon 60, East 14. Pinckney (1-4) at Ann Arbor Huron (2-3), 7 p.m. - The Pirates can’t get their offense on track, losing 35-6 to the Highlanders last week. They average imder 10 points per game. Huron 40, Pinckney 20. Milford (4-1) at Brighton (1-4), 7 p.m. - 'The Mavericks could be ripe for an upset after last week’s showdown with Hartland. Can Brighton capitalize? Miljbrd 20, Brighton 10. Hartland (4-1) at Howell (4- 1), 7 p.m. - These teams are so evenly matched, freak plays involving turnovers or penalties will likely decide the outcome. Howell 23, Hartland 21. Britton-Deerfield (1-4) at Whitmore Lake (5-0), 7 p.m. - The TVojans, fresh off a 31- 14 win over Morenci, could be the first area team to clinch a playoff berth with a victory. Whitmore Lake 35, Britton- Deerfield 21. Fowlerville (2-3) at Eaton Rapids (0-5), 7 p.m. - The Greyhounds would be just what the doctor ordered for the Gladiators, who have lost three straight, including last week’s 27-21 loss against DeWitt. The Greyhounds, who average 10 points per game, have lost 19 straight, dating back to 2006, and have one win in 33 games. Fowlerville 31, Eaton Rapids 12. ■ Last week's record: 5-1. ■ Best pick: Whitmore Lake 30, Morenci 20. Score: Whitmore Lake 31-14. Worst pick: Hartland 36, Milford 35.

Girls aoss country ^ getting 'ferocious' Competition tough to make Brighton's varsity lineup BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community Nevi/s Members of the Brighton girls cross county team run around the track just outside the high school during a recent practice. It’s a symbolic scene: With 60 runners, the Bulldogs are more like a track team than a cross country team. Brighton coach Gary Meehan has the largest team in his 30-plus year career. But it’s the quality, not the quantity, that makes this group one of Meehan’s deepest teams. During any given week, as many as 14 Bulldogs will be competing for seven varsity spots. “It can be pretty ferocious at times,” Meehan said. “I thought I had a set seven (earlier this year). “From (runners) No. 6 to 14, they are all competing for two positions. They understand you can’t have a bad race without some repercussions.” Meehan, whose team is ranked seventh in the state, has the luxury of splitting up his “group 1” runners and still winning meets.

Bow hunter finds his target Invention succeeds as niche market product PH O TO S : A L A N W A R R EN ,TH E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N IT Y N EW S Don Priebe's Hind Sight aiming device attaches to the riser of the bow. It can be purchased as a single rear sight or a dual-sighting system, ranging in cost from $25 to $125. BY JASON DEEGAN The L iv in gs ton C om m u n ity News Don Priebe draws back his bow, pointing an arrow at a deer target in the backyard of his Pinckney area home. He lines up his shot through the Hind Sight, an aiming device he created more than a decade ago. His arrow buries into the kill zone of the deer. “I think that one is down,” he says. Later, Priebe, 56, an avid hunter for 25 years, climbs into a tree stand built on his 10-acre property, overlooking an elaborate gallery of targets: a wild pig, a small bear and more deer. He shoots several more arrows at a fake deer hidden in thick brush. “With bow hunting, you only get one shot,” he says. “You have to make it count.” Further inspection reveals all his arrows have found their mark, a testimony to Priebe’s steady hand and the Hind Sight. First patented in 1997, the Hind Sight brand of products continues to evolve to help hunters bag more bucks (or whatever else they’re himting). The 2008 bow hunting season in Michigan began Wednesday and runs until Nov. 14. Cohoctah Township’s Mark Klett, a sales manager for the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, wiU be using a Hind Sight Eclipse this fall. He says he’s used four different versions of the Hind Sight the past five years. “It gives you a real consistent perspective,” he says. “For me, it is easy to be accurate.” Klett wears glasses, making a peep sight tough to use. A string peep problem back in 1994 prompted Priebe to search for other ways to aim properly in low light. “I drew back on a real nice 8-point buck underneath a tree stand,” Priebe recalls. “When I put my eye in the peep sight, I couldn’t see him. Although I had plenty of daylight, I couldn’t take aim. I couldn’t shoot.” Priebe used his new sight design for three years before applying for a patent. “I thought it was too good to keep to myself,” he says. “Once I got the patent, I thought (bow manufacturers) would be chomping at the bit for a new product. I had pie-in-the-sky dreams to make a lot of money.” The Hind Sight attaches to the riser of the bow (not the string like a Don Priebe, president and owner of Hind Sight and an avid hunter for 25 years, takes aim with his bow on a deer decoy, using his Hind Sight aiming system from his deer stand in his Pinckney-area backyard. At left, Priebe removes the arrows from a deer decoy in his backyard. Every shot aimed with the Hind Sight he developed hit its intended target. 'With bow hunting, you only get one shot," he says. "You have to make it count.' Don Priebe peep). It can be purchased as a single rear sight or a dual-sighting system, ranging in cost from $25 to $125. The dual-sighting systems - named the CrossFire, Dead Ringer, Ghost Rider or Eclipse -force archers into the same hold on every shot, preventing misalignment. Hunters ^ g n the cross hairs in the rear aperture with glowing fiber-optic pins in the front aperture. Priebe admits his sight can be harder to align for some himters, but adds “that’s why it’s so accurate.” “I’ve had the guys tell me it’s almost like having a training coach on their shoulder,” he says. Klett notes only one downside. “It takes a little more time to get it acflusted right” when it’s first put on. “If you just follow the steps in Uie directions, you’ll be fine,” he adds. Priebe retired from a concrete engineering company in 2004 to run the business full-time. He’s always tweaking the Hind Sight’s design. He draws new prototypes on drafting paper in a cozy “man room” above his garage that is filled with bucks, a wild boar and a fox he’s bagged on hunts. He says large archery companies have “closed the door” on mass production, but he’s foimd a niche market selling to Cabela’s and Bass Pro stores and through his Web site, www.hindsightco. com. He travels to hunting trade shows and is endorsed by Tom Miranda, host of the TV show “Advantage Adventures” on ESPN2. He declined to disclose sales figures, but he’s proud of his product. “It’s been 11 years and I’m still here,” he says. “If they (the manufacturers who turned him down) were right and I was wrong, I wouldn’t be here.” Jason Deegan can be reached atjdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810- 844-2012. □BIGGBYl $1.00 OFF A Grande or Trente Speciality Drink Brighton: 8714 Grand River 810-227-2271 Howell: 1275 Lawson Dr. 517-545-8196 p p g g Convenient drive through!

Last weekend, the Bulldogs won the Midland Invitational and were third at the Ypsilanti Invitational. The Bulldogs say the competition fosters a better team, not a divided one. “Usually we work together,” said senior Ellory Green. “We encourage one another. We race at times, but we stay positive about it.” During practice, many of the girls run together and laugh together. At the end of warm-ups at practice last week, they start jumping jacks, chanting and jumping in sync. It’s almost like they’re cheering on a great workout. Together. “They’re all friends,” Meehan said. “They practice hard together. They know what it takes to be the best they can. If they get beat, they realize the other kid ran better.” Brighton’s top five runners are primarily set, with freshman Elizabeth Klingshott, senior Amanda Halonen, Green, Paige McGahan and sophomore all-stater Kristen Emmorey, who has recently returned from a leg injury.

He turns 18 on Saturday. Daniel, of Genoa Township, said he is excited about the chance to support his candidates, but remains skeptical about the process. “I heard on the radio that your vote doesn’t really count because the Electoral College really decides (the presidency),” he said. Daniel falls into the 18-to-21 age group, which posted the largest gains countywide in new voter registration from Sept. 1 through Oct. 6, according to a report from the Livingston County Clerk’s office. Of the county’s 2,634 newly registered voters, Daniel’s age group accounted for 745 of them, followed by the 22-30 age group, which registered 619 people during the same 35-day period. In all, there are almost 131,000 registered voters in the county, an increase of more than 6,000 from four years ago. Livingston County Election Supervisor Joan Runyan said her office has been steadily busy for months with people taking the necessary steps to vote in the general election. Her office has fielded calls from people looking to register, trying to locate their polling place, asking about voter registration cards and more. “It’s nice to see” such an interest, Runyan said. She said she doesn’t even mind the many inquiries and registration forms she’s received from out-of-county residents who apparently are not quite sure where they live. “I just pass them along,” she said. She believes the rush to vote can be Scott Archer, 18, of Genoa Township, and Samantha Lewis, 18, of Howell, sit outside of Secretary of State's office in Howell after registering to vote Monday. Archer and Lewis are among the many first-time voters in Livingston County who registered this year. A N G E L A SPO O N E R , TH E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N IT Y N EW S attributed to many factors, including an abundance of campaign advertising, the accessibility of ballot issues and candidate profiles online and the opportunity to register via a downloaded form from the Secretary of State’s Web page. “It’s refreshing (to see such an interest), especially from the younger people,” said Runyan. In the city of Howell, 70 registrations were taken from people in the 22-30 age group, making it the most changed age group from Sept. 1 through early October. The second most-affected group was made up by people age 60 and over. That category gained 47 new voters. According to City Clerk Jane Cartwright, the city’s 238 recent registrations, along with the events surrounding this election, indicate there will be more voters at the polls in November. “I think we’ll have between 75 and S E E REGISTER, A 4 Small-town memories lead to debut novel L E A N N E SM ITH ,TH E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N IT Y N EW S Hamburg Township's Larry Carello will talk Thursday about his first novel,"A Golden Weekend," at the Hamburg Township Library, 1041 Merrill Road.

There were memories of growing up near a “poor man’s resort” with cottages, amusement parks and “local joints” in Sylvan Beach, N.Y., stories about the family and friends he had there and ideas for weaving it all into an entertaining, fictional tale. Two and a half years later, Carello, now of Hamburg Township, had a novel. “It just took off,” he said. “It really just wrote itself.” Carello’s book, “A Golden Weekend,” has garnered five-star ratings from those who’ve reviewed it on Amazon. com.

Howell attorney Jay Drick, who is making his third bid for a judicial seat, said his patience and responsiveness would make him a good judge. Brennan, 51, was appointed in 2005 by Gov. Jennifer Granholm to replace Judge Michael Hegarty, who died in office. She was elected a year later to finish out Hegarty’s term. “I believe I have the qualifications and experience to serve as judge” for a full, sixyear term, Brennan said. “I’m not satisfied with the status quo; I’ve eliminated all the (case) backlog and have been able to obtain funding that can help the substance abuse issues defendants face, and we are working toward solving problems of the mentally ill in the court system,” Brennan said, adding that the District Court also has a sobriety court run by Judge Suzanne Geddis. Drick, 57, is critical of Brennan for what he regards as her failure to establish a court for teenagers who abuse alcohol. “Since 2005, nobody has started a teen alcohol abusesolving court, and I want to set up a teen alcohol rescue court,” he said. Drick said he is “accomplished in forming similar alcohol rescue programs,” being co-founder of the first statewide treatment therapy services program forjudges and lawyers in the state. “We have a huge problem here in Livingston County with teen alcohol abuse that Link to y o u r per so na l on line ballot for all o f the u p c om in g races and issues in the Nov. 4 general election. G o to mlive.com/ livingstoncommunitynews a n d click o n the election logo. miive .com recent studies and surveys have shown is very high in terms of the crash rate, the drunk driving rates,” Drick said. “My one huge message is if people want a change, and the teen alcohol rescue court, they vote for me,” Drick said. “If they don’t want that kind of change, they vote otherwise.” Drick lost to Brennan in 2006. Brennan responded by stating that she and her colleagues have addressed the problem of illicit alcohol use by minors. “I disagree we don’t address teenage drinking,” she said. “We are intensely involved with teens’ substance abuse; we just don’t call it teen alcohol court,” she said. I “Once (a minor) has pled to an alcohol offense we get parental involvement, make them abide by the rules, establish curfews, living arrangements, order drug testing, counseling, mandatory school attendance to go back to school and get their diploma or GED or maintain their job if they’ve graduated,” she said. “So we’re already doing it; I don’t believe in fancy names.” When asked to cite her accomplishments on the bench, Brennan said she has improved the judicial system. “We are run as efficiently and effectively as possible.” Brennan said, adding she S E E JUDGE, A 4 INDEX Achievers A10 Calendar A9 Livingston Life A7-10 Retail Report A6 Rick Fitzgerald's column A7 Scrapbook A8 Sports B1-B2 Volunteers A10 To report news or for free home delivery call {8 1 0)844-2000.

All races contested on local level ELECTION 2008 BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News Voters in Green Oak Township will have lots of choices come Election Day. There are contested races for supervisor, clerk and as many as eight candidates seeking four trustee positions on the Nov. 4 ballot, All positions are four-year terms. Supervisor Incumbent MarkSL Charles, a Republican, is being challenged by Democrat Matthew Evans. St. Charles says he is running again so he can continue to provide services for residents through the slumping economy. “I believe that I am the best candidate due to the fact that I have presented balanced budgets for the last eight years,” says St. Charles. “Since 1996, we have increased our fund balance each and every year to a point that we are just about where our auditors want us to be. Due to our ability to manage our finances, the township has been rated A-t- from Moody’s Investments, the highest rating a township can get.” St. Charles says that because of good investments the township has made in the fire department, its Insurance Service Organization rating has been reduced, which means that residents can save money on homeowners insurance. Elvans says his background as a lawyer and as an accountant give him a well-rounded back^und for the job of township supervisor. “The main issue is confidence in government,” says Evans. “There was the assessment problem with the Mission Hill property, which sold for $16 million but was only taxed for $780,000, and that cost the taxpayers a lot of money. “The assessor was let go and given a severance package and a confidentiality agreement, which means she can’t talk about what went on. This township needs an ordinance on conflict of interest that is enforced so there are no issues with people like the supervisor, clerk, and building inspectors.” Evans says another one of his goals is to get a new facility for Uie police Uiat will serve all their needs. Clerk In the race for township clerk, incumbent Michael Sedlak, a Republican, is opposed by Democrat Walt Ernst. Sedlak says the major issues facing the township are the financial impact of lowering property vines, the foreclosure epidemic and the reduced revenues from the state. “We’ve already seen a reduction in staff,” says Sedlak. “Our challenge now is to continue to provide services and be fiscally responsible. Even with reduced revenues, we’ve managed our budget to where we can add to our fund balance every year including this year.” Sedlak credits planning ahead and cost reductions in health care and phones. “If we’re spending our money wisely, then we’re going to spend less of it, and leave those additional funds for important projects for our citizens as ne^ed.” Ernst could not be reached.

Daugherty says the current financial crisis has put a lot of pressure on treasurers to be accountable for finances and careful with investments especially in the next few months. Trustee In the race for four trustee seats on the township board, four incumbent Republicans are seeking re-election, although one of them lost in the primary and is running as a write-in candidate. They are being challenged by two Democrats, a Republican and a candidate with no party affiliation. Incumbent Tl'acey Edry, says the economy is the most important issue facing the township. “I do not believe now is the time to seek additional taxes,” says Ediy, a Republican. “I am seeing my neighbors losing their jobs, and houses entering foreclosure. Times are tough, and we have to make decisions that will keep money in the pocketbooks of the residents, not spend it.” Republican Richard Everett, who previously served on the Hamburg 'Township board, is a firm believer that Green Oak Township needs a clear master plan. “A master plan coupled with strong zoning control is necessary to handle growth in both the residential and business sectors,” says Everett. “The township faces growing pressure from residents to limit business growth, but at the same time, we must be resjjonsible to the rights of business developers.” Incumbent Rollin Green, who has served on both the Planning Commission and zoning board of appeals, wants to see a healthy mix of development maintained. “We should encourage appropriate levels of industrial and retail businesses while preserving the natural assets that give Green Oak its rural atmosphere,” says Green, a Republican. “We need to insist on compliance with our codes and ordinances and encourage preservation of the environment.” George Kilpatrick is an incumbent who lost in the GOP primary, but now is running as a write-in candidate. He says being fiscally responsible is key to the office. “We need to maintain services provided with potentially decreasing revenues,” says Kilpatrick. “We need to continue to push this board forward to establish absolute transparency and openness within our township government and to be proactive rather than reactive.” Incumbent Wally Qualls, a Republican, also believes that development is a major issue for the township. “We must make sure we have good people on the planning and zoning boards and do research on the types of business that want to come into the township,” says Qualls. “We need to watch our spending.” Marcus Warwashana, who is not affiliated with any party, says the major issue facing Green Oak Township is how to reduce the increasing cost of running the township and being able to maintain services without raising taxes. “We need better planning, which will help reduce some of the costs,” says Warwashana. “I am also concerned about all the dirt roads in this township and how they can be maintained better.” Democratic candidates Anna Ernst and Jo Ann Murphy could not be reached.

LETTERS Farm animals deserve protection Will 2008 mark the beginning of the end for the U.S. meat industry? The escalating costs of corn and soybeans caused by harvest shortfalls, rising global demand and government- mandated ethanol production are forcing widespread cutbacks in the number of animals raised for food. So does the current credit crunch. A recent report by the prestigious Pew Charitable Trusts recommends a phase-out of intensive confinement, which would force additional cutbacks. For the animals and caring consumers, such cuts are long overdue. The 10 billion animals killed for food in the U.S. each year, have no life before death. From birth, they are caged and crowded, deprived and drugged, manhandled and mutilated. At the slaughterhouse, they may be scalded, bled, skinned, and dismembered, while still conscious. Although 93 percent of consumers condemn such abuses, no state or federal law prevents them. Recent undercover investigations by humane organizations have documented egregious animal cruelty at California and Iowa slaughterhouses. The resulting media coverage has led consumers to examine their own role in subsidizing extreme animal cruelty with their shrinking food dollar. This is why, on or about Oct. 2 (Gandhi’s birthday), 400 communities in all 50 states and two dozen other countries observed World Farm Animals Day with public education events (www.wfad.org). The purpose is to expose and memorialize the cruel treatment of animals raised for food and to promote an animal- free diet. It’s a great opportunity for each of us to reject cruelty and to embrace a healthful, cost-saving plant-based diet. Maurice Mercier, Brighton Letters policy We value y ou r opinion.

It lost twice that many last year. The loss was smaller than expected, netting an addi- ^ tional $112 per student in ^ state aid and boosting perpupil funding from $7,204 to $7,316. But the good news could be short-lived. According to Associate Superintendent for Finance Rick Terres, young people are being forced to leave the area and the state to pursue their careers. “These kids who graduated and left the state after college are having babies somewhere else,” he lamented. The Sept. 24 student head count showed a K-12 enrollment of 8,393, down 105 from last fall. When he formulated the budget earlier this year, Terres projected a drop of 125 in the blended count, which is a combination of last February’s enrollment figure and this fall’s numbers. “If that (105 figure) holds, it’s some improved news that will help us,” Terres said. The drop is small compared to a year ago at this time, when Howell lost 259 students, indicating the decline is likely leveling off. Howell had its highest-ever enrollment in 2006, with 8,757 students. The enrollment drop this year, if it holds, will translate into a loss of about $768,000 in state funding, but that will be offset by the $112 per-pupil state aid increase, which amounts to an extra $807,000. It’s good news - in relative terms - for a district that has been forced to cut $12 million from its budget in the last five years. The district’s current budget is $67 million, a figure Terres expects to hold with relatively little need for tweaking over the course of the school year. Bucket filling important as ever Kindness is key, especially In down times, says Genoa's Lundgren BY L ISA C A RO L IN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity N ews According to “The Bucket Man” Merrill Lundgren, the message about filling people’s buckets by saying or doing nice things, is more important than ever during these tough economic times. The Genoa Township resident, who will turn 90 next year, is “preaching the gospel of bucket-filling” to everyone from elementary school students to business owners. Lundgren says the simple but profound philosophy of filling people’s buckets to make them feel good, applies to every aspect of life. “We’re trained not to display in words our love for people,” says Lundgren. “It’s easier for people to display their anger. What we’re doing is teaching kids to go home and be a bucket filler, which I define as a warm and caring person who deals from the heart.” Lundgren is actively sharing his philosophy with professionals in the community, and praises some of them, who he says are bucket fillers in their own right. One of them is Rick Smith, owner of the real estate company Keller Williams in Brighton. “Rick Smith is empathetic and caring, and passes that message by the way he conducts himself personally and with his employees.” Smith believes bucket filling is a job necessity. “The real estate business involves a lot of rejection and disappointment,” says Smith. “A positive attitude and mind-set is critical to sustaining yourself in this business. Bucket filling acknowledges your appreciation of your employees, and makes a huge impact on their performance. Telling employees they are worthy and have value and that other people see it, is a recipe for synergy and success in business and in life.” “Dr. Jean Dunegan is also a bucket filler,” says Lundgren, who is a patient of Dunegan at the St. Luke Hometown Healthcare in Brighton. “Dr. Dunegan is a bucket-filling doctor, not something you often see. She never seems rushed and spends a lot of time talking to you. She is warm, caring and concerned.” Dunegan says, “I opened St. Luke’s as a bucket-filling medical practice. I wanted to offer patients good quality medical care at a reasonable cost. We want to spend the amount of time with people that they deserve, and my patients are very grateful. They fill my bucket, too, because it’s very enjoyable to take care of people in a non-hurried way.” Lundgren began his bucket filling crusade in 1979, and in 2003 began sharing his message with children. He has since visited and shared his message with children at more than 160 schools, including many in Livingston County. He is assisted by his own children, Peter Lundgren, president of the family company, Bucket Fillers for Life, and his daughter Stacey Lundgren, now the company’s main presenter. He has been invited to visit Latson Road Elementary School in Howell for the past four years. “That’s because the principal, Kari Naghtin, is a bucket filler,” says Lundgren. “She has us back every year because she says that there’s a new group of students in the school who haven’t heard about bucket filling before. She not only wants us to talk to her students about love and respecting people, she wants every parent at her school to have their bucket filled too.” “It’s a very easy message for stu- Merrill Lundgren, left, says Dr. Jean Dunegan, right, is a prime example of the type of "bucket filler" he is promoting though his many presentations in the community. A N G E L A SPO O N E R , TH E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N IT Y N EW S dents to understand,” says Naghtin. “I use the language of bucket filling when I’m talking to students about choices they make. In my newsletter to parents, I tell them that we are a bucket-filling school and give them information about the concept. Parents tell me that it’s a positive message, that’s easy for kids to follow and understand.” “In any interaction I have with students, I’m looking for ways to fill their buckets. Even when a student makes a poor choice, I want them to walk out of my office, knowing that I still care about them and that we can take the poor choice and turn it into a better choice next time. I try to fill students’ and my staff’s buckets on a daily basis through e-mail or day-to-day actions to make them feel good.” Naghtin says she asked fourthgraders last spring to write her a letter over the summer to bring to her on the first day of school this year. They needed to share something fun they did over the summer, something they were looking forward to about being in fifthgrade as well as something they were worried about, and something they planned to do to be a good role model and bucket filler for younger students in the school. She calls the assignment a real success. For more information on Lundgren and his bucket-filling program, go to www.bucketfillersforlife.com.

Their strategies to get there W are very different. Republican Cindy Denby wants to bring back a state recruitment program from the 1980s called Community Growth Alliance. Democrat Scott Lucas wants to maximize the link between a good education and a thriving economy. The seat is being vacated by Republican state Rep. Joe Hune because of term limits. Denby said the growth program “would provide a better base for what sites might be available to companies” looking to relocate to Michigan, as well as those already here, she said. “Other states are always recruiting businesses H here in Michigan, so we need n to do everything we can to keep them.” The program would provide resources for expanding businesses as well as for business owners searching for alternate sites that better fit com- ^ pany needs on zoning and accessibility to the freeways and rail systems. “The bottom line,” according to Denby, is “we need to turn the economy around. Until we can, it impacts the 47th State House candidates ■ Name: C in d y Denby. Age; 52. Party: Republican. Residence: H a n d y Township. Occupation; Legislative a ide to state Rep.

Lucas points out that he has helped create two college programs that would give Michigan residents fresh career choices. “By working to create jobs, you help people prepare for a career, and you help those in the education program,” said Lucas. He helped create course work for a bachelor of arts degree in applied administration with an emphasis on fire and emergency medical services at Marygrove College (slated for 2009) and a bachelor of arts degree in public safety at Concordia University. For high school students, he advanced a career technical program at the William D. Ford Career-Techinical Center in Westland that provides emergency medical technician training. It also is slated for 2009. “It brought a teacher back from layoff to develop the program, and the kids will leave with the training needed for a job in high demand, and be able to use it for college credit toward a two-year or four-year degree program,” he said. Both candidates tout experience on the campaign tr ^ . Denby, a familiar face in Lansing since she’s served five years as an aide to Hune, said, “I decided to run because I felt my expertise and contacts would be beneficial to the residents.” She also has served Handy Township residents for 27 years, most recently as supervisor, a seat she has held for eight years. Lucas says he believes his varied experience is better suited for the job. He sat on the Britton Village Council (in Lenawee County), served as union president for the International Association of Firefighters Local 1279, is a committee member of the Southeast Michigan Homeland Security Board - Responder Safety Investment Committee and the Michigan Department of Commimity Health/ EMS division, and worked as an assistant wrestling coach at Eastern Michigan University for seven seasons. “During my tenure as an assistant coach, I served under three head coaches, two athletic directors, and three university presidents, and if that’s not bipartisanship, I don’t know what is.” He also has a bachelor’s degree in business administration and leadership from Concordia University. Denby received an associate degree in business from Lansing Community College. The successful candidate will cover the city of Howell and the townships of Cohoctah, Conway, Deerfield, Hamburg, Handy, Hartland, Howell, Iosco, Putnam, Tyrone and Unadilla. Repeated calls to Libertarian candidate Rodger Young and U.S. Tax Payer candidate Philip Johnson were not returned. Laurie Humphrey can be reached at ihumphrey@iiving5ton communitynew5.com or 810-844- 2003. Though down overall, Howell’s enrollment did not show a drop at all grade levels. The Freshman Campus showed a slight gain of 10 students, from 661 to 671. And enrollment has been steady the last two years at Howell High School (grades 10-12), with 1,873 students. The big loss - 62 students - has been at the elementary level, from 3,846 to 3,784, although that averages out to just nine fewer students for each of the seven elementary schools. Howell’s two middle schools also lost enrollment: Three Fires went from 995 to 954, a loss of 41, and Highlander Way went from 1,123 to 1,111, a drop of 12. Terres said the lower grade loss does not portend well for the future because it means fewer students coming through the system - unless a lot of families with children move into the district, something he isn’t optimistic will happen.

Incumbents Lori Cowan and Warren Krueger are seeking re-election in the Nov. 4 general election. They are being challenged by Julie Weiland and Kelly Schmidt in the township’s only contested race. Cowan, 50, a Democrat, is seeking her third board term. Preservation of the township’s farmland and natural resources is high on her list of needs, as is continued support of the fire and police departments. “I would like to see our board adopt woodland and wetland ordinances,” she said. “And our parks and recreation department needs more attention. We need something in Gregory for families and children to do, and we especially need after-school programs for children.” Krueger, 57, a Republican, is finishing his 10th year as a trustee. “We are in pretty good shape financially, but we need to work at staying fiscally responsible,” Krueger said. “We have gotten a lot of things done while I’ve been on the board and I want us to continue to do that.” High on Krueger’s list of priorities is the adoption of a new master land use plan that will guide the township’s future planning and development. Weiland, 37, a Republican, CARELLO FROM Ai Author, wife moved to Strawberry Lake 4 years ago that anyone who grew up in a small town can relate to, and say it’s well-written and entertaining, with characters so vivid it seems like they’re in the room. “I’ve always felt since growing up there that Upstate New York is a neat and unique place with unique personalities,” Carello said. “It’s very similar to this area with the lakes and trees and the personalities and people.” Local residents can check it out for themselves at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Hamburg Township Library when Carello talks about the book and how he created it and then self-published it. “We love to introduce people to authors, and it’s very exciting when those authors are from our own community,” said Marilyn Grinnell, the library’s program coordinator. “I found the book very enjoyable. It’s a simple and sweet story.” “A Golden Weekend” is set in the fictitious upstate New York town of Woodland Beach. The main characters are Met and Jimmy Rosco, brothers with a lifelong conflict. “Jimmy is older and affluent and a power player,” Carello said. “Mel is happy-go-lucky and everyone loves him, but he’s teetering on financial collapse.” Family dynamics come to a head over a fire that destroyed Mel’s local landmark concession stand. The Shack, on a Fourth of July weekend. “I don’t want to give it away, but what happens changes all of their lives forever,” Carello said. With a degree in oceanography from the U.S. Naval Academy, a background in science and engineering and a career as a pilot, writing a novel, Carello said, “is as far away from flying planes as taking a walk on the moon.” “I’m very humbled by it and other authors,” he said. Carello spent 10 years on active duty as a U.S. Navy pilot. He’s been a commercial pilot for Northwest Airlines since 1985. Carello lived in Ann Arbor for 16 years before moving to Strawberry Lake four years ago to fulfill a lifelong dream of his and his JUDGE FROM AI Challenger: Special court needed for teen drinking has voluntarily taken on Livingston County Circuit Court cases. “I do it because I have an obligation as chief district court judge,” Brennan said of the post she assumed in January. Brennan added that 53rd District Court now handles circuit court felony pleas and arraignments, and she also has taken on civil cases. Drick, who said during the 2006 election campaign that Brennan was “too liberal for Livingston County,” is no longer talking about the difference between himself and Brennan in their political leanings. Instead, he stressed that he is “keeping the race idea-driven and nonpartisan.” Drick is no longer on the executive committee of the county Republican Party, as he was in 2006. Drick specializes in landlord- tenant disputes, consumer protection and automobile law and collections. He has chaired the Livingston Panel Attorney Discipline Board, is an arbitrator and certified mediator, a case evaluator for the circuit and district courts and past chairman of the Consumer Law Committee. “I have 33 years experience as an attorney, and 25 years as a case evaluator appointed by the judges in civil cases before they go to trial,” Drick said. REGISTER FROM AI Numbers lead clerks to expect big Nov. 4 turnout 80 percent (turnout), compared to 62 percent four years ago,” she said. Eric Branstrom, 28, and his 26-year-old fiance, Angela Woods, will cast their first vote inside the city Nov. 4. Relatively new to the area, the pair visited the County Clerk’s office to find out where they needed to go to cast their ballot. “I want to make sure to vote for who I believe in now, otherwise I can’t complain later,” Branstrom said with a smile when asked why he felt it was important to vote. Then he turned serious and said, “No, I feel like I need to make a difference.” Woods agreed. “Times are getting desperate and tax breaks seem to be going to the wrong people. It’s important to vote.” Livingston County had 130,920 registered voters from among the 18 different jurisdictions as of Oct. 6. Final numbers will not be known until Oct. 21, since local clerks now have to enter remaining registration forms, and verify their accuracy. Four years ago there were 124,281 registered voters. That’s at least a 5.3 percent increase over the last presidential election. Initial accounts however indicate an equal number of men and women - about 1,300 each - were represented in the new voter registration count from Sept. 1 through Oct. 6. Larry Carello Age: 56.

Carello hopes to retire in three years and plans to devote some of his time to crafting more novels. One will be a sequel to “A Golden Weekend,” but his current effort is a fiction book based on actual histoiy that he hopes to complete by the end of 2009. Set in the 1970s, the storyline revolves around a U.S. Navy helicopter squadron in the Western Pacific near the Philippine Islands. One of the main characters is a former University of Michigan football player. “He’s a pretty colorful character,” Carello said. “This book is kind of an adventurethriller It’s taking quite a bit of research because there are a lot of historical aspects, but I’m having a lot of fun developing it.” IN BRIEF Brighton Meijer Store to offer carpool parking The Brighton Meijer store will be one of six in the state to designate 50 parking spaces in their parking lot for commuters who carpool. The purpose of the one-year, pilot, is to take the load off the state’s park-and-ride lots, which are overflowing due to the huge increase in carpooling stemming from high gasoline prices. “The program is beginning immediately, but it will take a couple weeks for signage to be inst^ed for the designated parking areas,” said Meijer spokesman ^ an k Guglielmi. “Vehicles don’t need to have a sticker to be able to park in the designated area,” he said. The program will be in use 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The initial agreement nms through July 31,2009. The program will be periodically reviewed, and may be expanded to include other Meijer stores. Besides Brighton, participating stores are those in Jackson, Chesterfield 'Ibwnship, Auburn Hills, Cascade and Lowell, Fowlerville Company to buy land for expansion American Compounding Specialties plans to spend $7 million on a plant expansion in the coming year to add three additional production lines, increasing capacity from 60,000 pounds to 1()0,000 pounds. In order to build a 45,000- square-foot addition to its current facility on Veterans Drive in Fowlerville, the company will purchase a small piece of property from neighboring Johnson Controls. The additional property was necessary in order to orient the addition out of a flood plain. “When we built the plant in 2005, we intended to build parallel to Veterans Drive, but the building was in the flood plain so they turned the building,” ACS owner Randy Rudisill said. “Now we want to add on and need to buy a quarter acre from Johnson controls to allow us to build the 45,000-square-foot addition to the building.” The company will hire 30 additional workers to run the manufacturing line when the addition opens in 2010, according to Rudisill. The Fowlerville Village Council allowed Rudisill to take the first step in the project hy unanimously approving subdivision of the Johnson Controls property. Rudisill said he would bring architectural plans before the council by the end of the year and hopes to begin construction by the end of the year. Completion of the building and installation of equipment will take about a year. Two-way traffic eyed for Second St. Fowlerville Village Council members are exploring the possibility of reverting Second Street to two-way t r ^ c . The street had been made one-way between Church Street and Grand River Avenue to allow for angle parking at the Fowlerville post office. Because the post office has moved out of town, the council will consider reopening the street to two-way t r ^ c on Oct. 13. Pinckney Christmas Bazaar exhibitors sought The Pinckney Masonic Temple’s Order of the Eastern Star chapter is looking for exhibitors for its Christmas Bazaar, which is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 8 at the Masonic Temple, 210 Mann St. People interested in renting a booth to display and sell their wares should call Laurene Banta at 734- 878-9484. From News staff reports has been Unadilla Township’s deputy clerk for eight years. Assisting local families during a tough economy is necessary, she said. “It is very rough out there right now for a lot of people in relation to declining property values and rising taxes,” Weiland said. “We need to listen to them and try and help these people find the resources they need to get by so they don’t lose their homes.” Along these lines, Weiland said she supports homebased businesses. “People are losing their jobs and need something to do to support their families,” she said. “Sometimes it’s easier for them to work out of their homes, and we should be there to help them do that when it’s appropriate.” Schmidt, a Democrat, is a past chairman and member of the Unadilla Township Planning Commission and current member of the township’s Parks & Recreation Committee. He agrees that the police and fire departments provide a vital service to residents, and he said he wants to see more public input on natural resources and recreational issues. But Schmidt said he was motivated to run for a board seat because of actions of the current board that disturbed him. “In the past several years, I have seen less transparency and civility among members of our local government,” he said. “I’d like to see more public involvement in township business.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. Montessori school enrollment increases Private school's numbers are up 23%, director says BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The L ivingston Community News Enrollment at Maple 'Tree Montessori in Brighton Township increased 23 percent this year, yielding a student count of 53 in the school’s new K-6 program. Last year, the school had 43 K-3 students. The school was inadvertently left out of an Oct. 3 story about enrollment at private schools in Livingston County. According to Director Patricia Sue Cherry, administrators knew in February, the start of the registration season, how many children to expect. That Imowledge led Cherry to add an upper elementary offering for 2008-09. “We furnished and equipped a fourth- through sixth-grade program,” she said, “added a Suzuki violin program, a Montessori music teacher, and an afterschool drama class (with teacher.)” Open since 2003, Maple Tree Montessori is the only nonparochial, private school in the county, according to Cherry. “We are also the only fully accredited Montessori school, so we’re providing parents with a choice they didn’t previously have in Livingston County.” She said she thinks those reasons, “and our wonderful teachers,” have caused enrollment to jump. “We can count on our children returning every year because they love it here,” she said. Cherry plans to add seventh- and eighth-grade classes within the next two to three years, as her original students advance. “We have 3,000 square feet still available in the building that we’re not using. We’re just waiting for the kids to get there (become middle school students).” Laurie Humphrey can be reached at ihumphrey@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2003.

All positions are nonpartisan. Fowlerville Council Member David Kuehn, 60, is challenging Wayne Copeland, 74, for his two-year seat as president of the Fowlerville Village Council. Kuehn, a retired Howell Public School teacher, was a member of the village planning commission from 2003 before his election as a council trustee in 2006. Copeland has been on the council since 2000, and has served as president since April 2003 when he was appointed to fill an unexpired term. Since then, he has run unopposed every two years for the presidential post. “There comes a point when we need choice,” Kuehn said. “I don’t think it looks good to be constantly unopposed - it appears that the same people are running the community over and over. I’d like to see more communication with the public and in the council, too. Everyone should be involved in debate.” Kuehn referred to council meetings where calls to the public go unheard, public hearings that go unattended and council vote after vote pass unanimously with little or no discussion. “I’m not used to being in groups that don’t discuss and debate and talk about things more,” Kuehn said. Copeland is a lifelong Fowlerville resident who grew up on his family farm, established in 1853. He owned Copeland Construction and was a supervisor for the Livingston County Road Commission until his retirement in 1999. He is proud of the council’s activities during his tenure: a new sewer plant, road construction, and down- Visit us online Link to y o u r perso na l online ballot for all of the u p c om in g races and issues in the Nov. 4 ge neral election. G o to mlive.com/ livingstoncommunitynews a n d click o n the election logo. miive .com town development among their accomplishments. “I enjoy' being president - it’s a passion of mine,” Copeland said. “I like to see things moving as smoothly as possible.” For the village council seats, three incumbents are seeking re-election and they are being challenged by two others. Seeking re-election for another four years are Mary Helfmann, Mick Longstreet and Marjorie Carlon. Also seeking those positions are Heather Van Amberg and Jerry Bell. The top three vote-getters will win the seats. Van Amberg, 37, is a telecommunications analyst who has served two years on the village planning commission. She believes community involvement is key to the governmental process. “It’s important to reach out to people to make them feel a part of the community,” Van Amberg said. “Our government needs to find ways to reach out to those families to make them more involved. A really obvious and easy thing we can do is start an e-mail newsletter to let people know the issues that are being addressed.” Bell, 55, is the Fowlerville Ford sales manager. He would like to see more initiative on the part of the village council. He is particularly interested in developing the Red Cedar River. “The river is such a beautiful natural resource and we don’t utilize it,” Bell said. “Our DDA is making great strides through the Economic Development Council; we could marry the economic development downtown with the riverfront to enhance property values and the community as a whole.” Incumbent Carlon was the first woman to serve on the village eouncil and has been on the board since 1975. “I like to serve because I have seen this town evolve from a rural farming community and I’ve seen all the changes,” she said. “I want to guide that change a little bit and I think we’ve done a good job. There are some challenges, but I’ll tell you, fiscally, Fowlerville is in good shape and I give credit to this present council.” Longstreet, 75, is retired from Standard Motor Products and has served one term on the council. He recently resigned from service on the Fowlerville Downtown Development Authority. He hopes to continue on the village council to see projects like the northwest quadrant infrastructure development through to completion. “I like the involvement in the community to see if I can improve the life of the community,” Longstreet said. “We have an excellent council right now and I enjoy working with them.” Helfmann, 51, owns A-2 Rental in Lansing and A-1 Rental Stop in Howell with her husband, Gary, and is currently acting as a legislative aide to state Rep. Joe Hune. She believes it’s important to keep the current council together. “It takes a while to understand the scope and get a feel for what you want to have happen. With budget constraints and work downtown, I feel I owe it to the citizens to continue what we’ve started,” Helfmann said.

COURTESY, H A M B U R G TOW N SH IP FIRE D EPA RTMEN T Firefighters get a Mule Todd's Services helps donate ATV BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Todd’s Seiwices, Inc. has added the Hamburg 'Township Fire Department to its long list of local groups and organizations that have benefited from its “Give Back to the Community” program. With help from Nicholson’s Enterprises of Ann Arbor, the Hamburg Township landscaping company, owned by Todd and Kuil LaButte at 7975 E. M-36, recently purchased and donated a Kawasaki Mule allterrain vehicle to Hamburg firefighters. The utility vehicle retails for about $10,700. The fire department will use the vehicle for medical, fire and safety calls that require it to go off-road onto the Lakelands Trail and into the Brighton State Recreation Area, said Assistant Fire Chief Nick Miller. “We wanted to do something to honor the good work the Hamburg Township Fire Department does to make this community a better place to live,” said Doug Murphy, director of Todd’s Services’ “Give Back to the Community” program. “We heard that they needed a piece of equipment like this, so we looked at what we could do to help.” Todd’s Services has given more than $1.5 million to more than 200 nonprofit organizations in Livingston, Washtenaw, Oakland, Genesee and Wayne counties since the “Give Back to the Community” program started in 2005. Beneficiaries have included school districts, churches, sports teams, and civic organizations. 'Todd’s Services sets aside 3 percent of a client’s project cost for the program. Customers can designate the organization they want money to go to. “We appreciate this ^ veiy much,” said Hamburg Fire Chief Doug Berry. “It shows appreciation for the high level of service we try to provide and that makes the firefighters feel good about the jobs they do.” “We are limited to what we can do as one company, but if more local businesses get involved maybe we can all do more,” Murphy said.

Located at the west end of the shopping center at Lee Road and US-23, the front of the store looks like a a large dog house, designed to invite visitors in to see the puppies or host a children’s party on site. The Stottele family owns and operates three other pet stores in Southeast Michigan and this is their first move into Livingston County. Owners John and Debbie Stottele own and operate the group of stores with the help of daughter THsh, operations manager, and Greg, a graphic designer. Stottele said the store focuses on pure-bred dogs and cross-breeds of only one generation. He said they take care not to sell any potentially dangerous breeds. “We look at temperament, ease of training, the ability of the dog to be submissive,” he said. “We try to find breeds that work with the family these days.” The store opened earlier this month, with a grand opening planned for Oct. 25 when the shopping center hosts its Halloween festivities. In addition to selling puppies, The Family Puppy offers a “Create A Pet” party program where children can decorate stuffed animals and play with the puppies. They also take in litters of mixedbreed puppies and kittens as part of their “All Americans” adoption program. Stottele said in 10 years, more than 15,000 cats and 2,000 dogs have found new homes.

Pet goodies in Pinckney The Putnam Township Square across the street from Tina Parks’ new business gave her the inspiration for the name: Pet Stop Boutique.

At her downtown Pinckney location, she has found the most popular item to be her gourmet dog treats including Carolyn Sheets, store manager of The Family Puppy at Green Oak Village Place, holds an English bulldog puppy at the new store that opened earlier this month.The store is the fourth in operation by the Stottele family and their first in Livingston County.

Fourteen-month-old Tatum Wakemlen, of White Lake Township, tries out a tractor at Spicer Orchards. The family-friendly orchard in Hartland Township offers more than cider and apples. Madison Spence, S, of Hamburg, decides to make some music at Spicer Orchards. BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News The temperatures are dropping and so are the leaves. That means a wide range of traditional fall activities from one end of the county to the other, is coming into play. One of the popular spots in the county this time of year is Spicer Orchards in Hartland Township. The Spicer family has been in the apple-growing business for nearly 100 years, and the family orchard and store on Clyde Road is doing a booming business this time of year. “We hav& U-pick on almost everything,” says Wanda Spicer, who has owned Spicer Orchards with her husband, Alan, for 40 years. “There were no trees here when we started, and we wanted a U-pick farm for families to come to, so we planted dwarf trees because they’re easy to pick from.” Wanda Spicer says it took about five years for the trees to produce apples that could be picked, and now there are 15,000 trees, and the picking season for the variety of fruits in the orchard runs from June through October, beginning with strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, plums, pears and peaches through the summer, and apples through the end of this month. “We have about 35 varieties of apples,” says Wanda Spicer. “Honey crisp apples, which we’ve been growing for 12 years, are the most popular followed by northern spy apples, which are pie apples.” The Spicers built their market on Clyde Road in 1982, and pies are a big seller there. “We bake our own pies, and the caramel apple nut is the favorite followed by the cherry and the pumpkin,” says Wanda Spic- Calendar of special fall events, AS er, who says that they also make their own doughnuts and cider, with a cider mill open for viewing. The Spicer family orchard is not the only place in the area to provide traditional fall fun.

I work with top-flight professionals to publish a weekly newspaper that most readers tell us they really appreciate. And not just because we deliver it free each week. It doesn’t get much better than that in the news business. But I’ll bet I’m a lot like some of the supervisors you work with each day: Sometimes we take your work for granted; sometimes we forget to tell you how much you mean to the organization; sometimes we’re so focused on what’s coming up tomorrow that we forget to say what a great job you did yesterday. So I’m going to use this space to do a little bragging as National Newspaper Week RICK FITZGERALD The L iv ingston C om m u n ity News comes to a close. Earlier this week, the Michigan Press Association released its annual contest results and our staff did pretty well in the editorial competition. The Livingston Community News was ranked as the best weekly newspaper in its class, winning first place in 'che “general excellence” category against the state’s largest weeklies. In all, we won 14 awards. I’m especially proud of this award as it recognizes the team effort it takes to produce an all-local newspaper that captures the top news of the week as well as the vibrancy of the many communities we serve. The judges, members of the Pennsylvania Press Association, called our newspaper “an enjoyable newspaper to read, with a good mix of hard and soft news. The writing is consistently solid and readable. Layout is clean and often creative. Photo and graphic production is superb.” The contest allows us to submit stories, photos, page design in a wide range of categories. The news won five other first-place awards, including one in the design category. Our page design is handled by (Jasey Hans and Laurie Humphrey, who also double as reporters. We also won first place in the lifestyle pages category. The judges said our Livingston Life page was “lively and engaging.” Everyone on the staff contributes stories to that page and the creative design is largely the work of Hans. Sports Reporter Jason Deegan was on a roll this year and is responsible for the other three first-place awards. He won the sports writing, sports column and sports coverage categories. The judges said Deegan “has an engaging style that keeps the reader interested.” In the sports coverage category that evaluates the overall sports section the judges said our small, twopage section outscored the much larger second-place section “in diversity of coverage, quality of writing, design and overall creativity.” He also won a third place award and an honorable mention in sports feature writing for individual stories. And Deegan won an honorable mention in the special sections category for our annual football section that previews the high school season. 'Two others won individual awards. Lisa Carolin won second place in the enterprise reporting category for her story on the growing home foreclosure crisis. Leanne Smith won a secondplace award in sports feature writing for her story on a football-for-moms program. In addition to the editorial wards. The News won three advertising awards: A first place in the automotive category, a third place in use of color and an honorable mention for an advertising series. My role in all of these awards is to stay out of the way and let our hard-working, dedicated staff members do their jobs. And to pat tfiem on the back when they deserve i t ... which is a lot more often than once a year when they win awards.

Resupply the Red Visit your neighborhood fire station Saturday, Oct. 18, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., to help resupply the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross. The local Red Cross office suffered severe flood damage Sept. 14. The $300,000 in damage to the building will be covered by insurance. But the chapter also lost its disasterresponse supplies. While insurance will eventually cover that loss, too, the chapter needs supplies now to be able to respond to emergencies in the county. That’s why firefighters across the county invite you to stop by any fire station on Saturday, Cot. 18, to help the Red Cross get back in the business of helping you. Donations in the form of cash or checks are especially helpful, as they allow the Red Cross to buy supplies as needed. Donations of bottled water, Gatorade, flashlights, cans of regular coffee and new blankets, knit hats, socks or gloves also are welcome.

Whitmore Lake, which had a long playoff streak snapped last season, is already in. The undefeated TVojans (6-0) have reached the magic sbc-win plateau. They can focus on larger goals, like maintaining an unbeaten regular season (the first in school history), landing a state ranking and making a push to be considered the best team in school history. Lofty goals, indeed. Howell (5-1) also can be considered a lock. The Highlanders are too talented to lose three straight, especially with two teams, Brighton and Jackson, that have a combined record of 4-8 still left on the schedule. The rest of the playoff picture is clouded. Getting four teams (out of seven area teams) would be a coup. It’s been a regular occurrence this decade, happening four straight years from 2003 through 2006. A record five teams made it in 2001 after just the Bulldogs qualified in 2000. Hartland (4-2) needs two wins to grab its first appearance in 10 years. That’s no gimme with a cross-over game against an opponent with a winning record next week and Livonia Franklin (4-2) to end the season. Fowlerville (3-3) faces the toughest road but could easily could rip off a three-game winning streak against three teams with similar 3-3 records: Ionia, Williamston and Corunna. Here are this week’s picks: Hartland (4-2) at Pinckney (1-5), 7 p.m. - Hartland, disappointed from its 30-20 loss to Howell, must regroup. Hartland 28, Pinckney 8. Brighton (1-5) at Howell (5-1), 7 p.m. - With a win, the Highlanders would clinch the West division title in the Kensington Lakes Activities Association and play for the Lakes conference title next Friday against a crossover opponent from the North division to be determined, likely old Kensington Valley Conference rival Lakeland (5-1). Howell 21, Brighton 17. Plymouth Salem (1-5) at South Lyon (2-4), 7 p.m. - The Rocks are no pushovers. They played Novi tougher than the Lions did, and lost to Walled Lake Northern and Northville by just six points each. The Lions celebrated a 67-18 win over South Lyon East but must refocus to beat a tougher foe. South Lyon 24, Salem 21. Whitmore Lake (6-0) at Sand Creek (4-2), 7 p.m. - Sand Creek has pounded the llxijans four straight years, outscoring them 89-7 the past two seasons. The Aggies started the season 0-2, only to rebound nicely with four straight wins in the TH- (iounty Conference. The TCC title will be on the line. Whitmore Lake 25, Sand Creek 21. Fowlerville (3-3) at Ionia (3-3) 7 p.m. - The Gladiators are back on track with a 35-7 win over Eaton Rapids. Comparing the scores of common opponents with Ionia - Eaton Rapids, DeWitt, Haslett and Charlotte - a trend emerges. The Gladiators should win. Fowlerville 24, Ionia 10. ■ Last week's record: 6-0. ■ Best pick: South Lyon 60, East 14. Score: South Lyon, 67- 18. ■ Worst pick: Ann Arbor Huron 40, Pinckney 20. Score: Hui-on, 30-0. ■ Season record: 28-10. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com orat8i0-844-20i2. Eagles to defend title Equestrian teann strong heading to state finals BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community Nev/s Trainer Brian Bannerman barks orders to each of the riders from the Hartland High School equestrian team at practice earlier this week. The Eagles are fine-tuning their skills on their horses at the equestrian center behind Village Elementary. They are preparing to defend their Class A title at the Michigan Interscholastic Horsemanship Association state finals in Midland this weekend. The competition started Thursday and ends Sunday. “This team is very well prepared to do as well as last year,” said senior Emily Suhre. “I love how everybody has put a lot of effort in and helped each other out.” Hartland graduated four seniors from last year’s group, but the Eagles haven’t missed a beat, thanks to six seniors who have been on the team all four years. They are Suhre, Paige Bolen, Stefanie Perkins, Kate Fliearman, Brittany Tripp and Sara Wimbrow. The Eagles ran away with the Region E Championship two weeks ago, scoring 682 points against strong competition. Saline was second more than 250 points back. Assistant coach Kerby Suhre said this season has gone “better than expected.” The Eagles split their team into 13 riders on varsity and five freshmen on a C team that gained valuable experience. “The 13 (varsity riders) have surprised me with their ability,” Kerby Suhre said. “There are 17 classes, and we are strong in all of them.” Suhre said the team trained harder than last season by having more clinics with trained pros like Bannerman.

In a short period of time, “Hook,” a tiny stuffed lookalike of Captain Hook from “Peter Pan,” has become a beloved new teammate of the Pirates. The team bought him with their tickets in the arcade at Dundee’s Splash Universe on a Sept. 27 visit during the Temperance Bedford Invitational. He’s now treated like royalty. Hook sits next to Pinckney y coach Jen- \ nifer Nighswander on the bench during every match. “He’s like a little brother,” says senior outside hitter Nikki Kaske while holding him during a practice last week. “We love him.” Hook isn’t just a toy. He’s become a symbol of hard work and dedication for the Pirates. After every match or tournament, Nighswander gives Hook to the player who gave the game her all. The honoree takes care of Hook until the next match, carrying him to school and practice. Kaske, who earned Hook after her performance in a win over Brighton, says she worked hard to “protect him from harm” - her classmates. Junior right-side hitter Kayla Vogrin says she was proud to be the first winner of the new award after the Bedford tournament. “It makes us want to play harder,” she says. “We get a prize for it.” Nighswander says using Hook as a motivational tool could become a regular tradition in the program year SEE VOLLEYBALL, 82 Pinckney volleyball players Kayla Vogrin, left, and Nikki Kaske hold their team's new stuffed mascot, "Hook.''The two won the chance to care for Hook until the next match.

Fantasy team 'owneK in league(s) of his own Scott Taggart, of Hartland Township: He has cut back from 13 fantasy football leagues to eight. Hartland Twp. man has been hooked on fantasy football for past 13 years BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News At the height of his professed “addiction,” Scott 'Taggart belonged to 13 different NFL fantasy football leagues. He has cut back a bit. “Right now. I’m comfortable at eight,” he said. “I would like to trim it back to four or five (leagues), but you always have the buddy who calls last minute and says he needs one more person.” The 41-year-old Hartland Township resident fell hard for fantasy football after a nephew introduced him to it 13 years ago. According to the Wikipedia Web site, fantasy football originated in 1962 from an idea of Bill Winkenbach, a limited partner in the Oakland Raiders. Tbday, leagues run by Internet sites can either decide winners by head-to-head matchups or by total points scored in a given week by each team “owner.” Owners are people like 'Taggart who hold a mock draft before the start of the season to create their own lineups of players. Owners may draft any current player on any NFL team. Points are awarded for anything from touchdowns scored, first downs, turnovers, punting yards and even the coin toss. 'Taggart says he’s been amazed at the pastime’s explosive growth through the Internet. 'Taggart is a regular contributor at www.pigstdnsanity. com, a Web site that gives free advice on moves that owners should make with their players. The local salesman, like hundreds of thousands of fantasy football fans around the country, keeps track of every yard on every play, hoping the stars he drafted over the summer and inserted into his lineup play well enough to beat his league mates. “My Sundays are booked. It is one of the downsides to the game,” he said. “They (owners) call wives and girlfriends ‘widows.’ From 12 or 1 p.m. SEE FOOTBALL, 82 B2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, OCTO BER 10, 2 0 0 8 Leugers' life celebrated Brighton grad persevered in toughest times BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News It’s an image that Jamie Leugers’ family and friends hold dear. In the picture, Leugers is flying four feet above the water on a wakeboard. He’s showing off the carefree, positive approach to life he held onto during his six-year battle with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer. Leugers, 18, a recent Brighton High School graduate, died Oct. 3. “The picture is implanted in most people’s minds,” said his father, Joe Leugers. “When people talk about Jamie, this is what they come back to. That, in itself, would describe his perseverance.” Jamie Leugers inspired many for trying to live a normal teenage life through endless chemotherapy treatments and even the use of experimental drugs in an attempt to curtail his disease. With an interest in sports marketing, Leugers was taking online courses at Schoolcraft College this fall. He loved to play hockey and golf and would snowboard, too. Friend Devin O’Halloran considered Leugers “probably one of the strongest kids I know.” The two played together on the Brighton in-line hockey team, coached by Joe EQUESTRIAN FROM B1 Riders try new things this season Bolen said the effort has paid off. “I wouldn’t trade my team for anyone,” she said. A number of Eagles have taken on new events. Junior Tom Tyson and Fliearman have been using different horses to shore up the jumping classes. Suhre has trained two separate horses in different events: Ben for flags and Bug for barrel racing. “We lost a lot of core riders, but a lot of people have stepped up to try new things they’ve never done,” Bolen said “That’s why we have a chance to repeat because people have tried new things.” Last year’s state finals came done to the final event, so the Eagles know that being one of favorites doesn’t guarantee anything. “We need to stay focused in all our classes,” Emily Suhre said. “We can’t get frustrated if something doesn’t go our way. We just have to do our best.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ Hvingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. CO U R T E S Y ,TH E L EU G E R S FAM IL Y Jamie Leugers, who died Oct. 3 from rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer, didn't let his health deter him from enjoying life. Here, he spends time on a wakeboard. Leugers. There were times, when Jamie Leugers was on chemotherapy, that he would unhook from his bag of intravenous fluids, use up all his energy to skate and then hook back up again. “When he was out there, we skated 10 times harder,” O’Halloran said. “We knew he couldn’t be out there as long as we could. We did it to show him we wanted to win, and we wanted him to do well.” Joe and Kim Leugers, and their oldest son, Joe Jr., are having a memorial service at 4 p.m. Saturday at their Brighton home to celebrate their son’s life. They have set up the Jamie Leugers Flmd for Active Teens with Cancer. Its purpose is to provide teenage cancer patients at the University of Michigan Cancer ll’eatment Center with gifts of support to encourage an active and productive life while undergoing treatment. Gifts could buy sporting event and concert tickets, sporting goods, movie gift cards, music lessons, art supplies and more. Contributions can be made directly to any Chase Bank.

When we had dial-up, people couldn’t get through to us for days at a time.” Fantasy players like to think they’re better owners than real owners like William Clay Ford Sr. of the Detroit Lions (Not hard, right?). The cash prize at the end of the season is nice, but it’s the bragging rights that fuel the obsession for the game. Being in eight different leagues, at sites like www.fanball.com and vyww.yahoo.com, pulls 'Taggart’s loyalties in all different directions. What’s good for one of his teams might not be good for another. “You could find me cursing and cheering at the same time,” he said. Every Sunday between noon and 1 p.m., Taggart scans the NFL injury reports released before Idckoff, so he can adjust his lineups where necessary. Taggart said he’s very superstitious when it comes to selecting players. “If a player does poorly for me, I will never draft them again,” he said. He said he’s won seven career championships by being a “number cruncher.” “I look at trends over a four-year period,” he said. “I develop a trend line on a player and the position. It’s really a mathematical thing for me.” For all the effort he puts into it, the reality is that luck plays a big part in the winners and losers. “Itte a guessing game. That’s what makes it fun,” he said. “To me, there is not an ultimate secret. It is really about having fun and being happy with your team.” Presents...

It’s the little things that add up to the big things. This isn’t about stats, but it’s about heart and commitment.” The Pirates (22-11-1 as of Oct. 6) have shown plenty of both this season. They’re in the thick of the hunt for the first title in the West division of the Kensington ' Lakes Activities Association. Team outings, like the one at Splash Universe, have bonded the girls closer together. They’re playing as a unit. Seniors Lindsay Meyer and Jessica Nabozny are leading the way as captains. “We do a lot together,” Vogrin says. “We are tightknit. We trust each other.” Nighswander likes the positive vibes and smiles that 'It's a fun, lighthearted thing. I try not to give it to the obvious (most valuable player). It's the little things that add up to the big things.' Jennifer Nighswander, Pinckney volleyball coach Hook brings to her team.

Representatives from Portage- based Midwest Realty Group and Ann Arbor-based development company Atwell- Hicks met with the township’s Planning Commission Jan. 30 on behalf of Meijer Inc., which has a conditional purchase agreement with Ivan Green for about 104 acres of land on M-36 east of Pinckney. If the Grand Rapids-based retailer can get the township to rezone nearly 35 acres of the property, located between Peaceful Valley Drive and Meadow Lane Drive, from large agricultural operations to large-scale commercial, it would be turned into a 190,000-square-foot “one-stopshopping” Meijer supercenter fronted by a convenience store and gas station. “We have nothing officially in front of us at this point,” Jerry Balk, planning commission chairman, told the roughly 60 people at the meeting. “All we’ve got so far is rumors.” An application requesting the rezoning is being reviewed by McKenna Associates Inc., the planners working with the township on this S t u d e n t s w o r k t o w a r d b e t t e r f u t u r e Students enrolled in LESA's Career and Technical Education program can earn school credit while learning a vocation such as robotics, like the students shown here. Students Josh Veilleux, 18, top photo from left, Dean Segula, 18, and Dean Moen, 18, work with a control board that was used on a robot. Student Dean Segula, 18, below, starts plugging in cords to make the robot work. PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE L IVINGSTON COMMU NITY N EWS 1 0 0 percent employable' P in c k n e y r o b o t ic s s t u d e n t s g o o n t o a d v a n c e d d e g r e e s BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News W! f hile the repetitious ' jobs once done by people on assembly lines are now being done by robots, Sean Hickman knows jobs in manufacturing are not dying out. Elvery year, graduates from Hickman’s Pinckney Community High School robotics classes go on to get advanced degrees and become the engineers who keep the robots working. “Today’s manufacturing jobs are highly technical and people who are s l^ e d in automation are in high demand,” he said. “If you’re good, you’re valuable because you keep the robots running and that keeps the plant running.” Hickman has a bulletin board of success stories. There’s Nick Harrington, a 2002 graduate who has a bachelor of science degree from Michigan State University in mechanical and biomedical engineering, and earns about $65,000 a year. And there’s Courtney Doyle, who has electrical and mechanical engineering degrees from the University of Michigan and had five companies fighting to hire her. “Our students are 100 percent employable,” Hickman said. Today’s high school students have the opportunity to turn out like these two by enrolling now in robotics or any of a number of career and technical education classes offered through the Livingston Educational Service Agency’s Livingston Applied Technology Education Consortium. Course selection fairs have started, said Tim Jackson, LATEC director. Registration wraps up this month. Classes are offered in two-hour blocks in Brighton, Fbwlerville, Hartland, Howell and Pinckney schools. “All of our programs offer the chance to learn in a hands-on, technical environment,” Jackson said. “We offer a strong connection to the workplace, with all students being required to participate in job-shadowing, internships and cooperative experiences.” SEE CAREER, A4 project. It must be presented to the planning commission so a public hearing can be set for March, Balk said. The planning commission’s ruling must be reviewed by the Livingston County Planning Commission, which also will make a recommendation.

The school board voted unanimously to approve the leave after spending more than 90 minutes in an executive session. The action places Breiner on what was called a “paid, nondisciplinary administrative leave,” pending the completion of negotiations between attorneys for Breiner and the school district. Board of Education President Phil Westmoreland said after the vote that he hoped the attorneys would work something out within the next two weeks. Breiner, who was attending his first board meeting since he went on a medical leave Nov. 26, told The News after the meeting he believed the situation “can and should be resolved quickly.” The superintendent was not a part of the executive session, but was called out SEE SC HO OL, A2 Rescuers cut through thick metal to save boy trapped in ski groomer BY TO M GANTERT The Livingston Community News 'The driver of the snow grooming machine found Sean Howell in the ski lodge, grabbed him and dragged him outside. “Somebody is caught in the groomer,” the driver said in a panic. In nine years on ski patrol at Mount Brighton Ski Area in Genoa Township, Howell had never encoimtered anything like what unfolded in front of him around 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 30. Howell rushed to the scene and found 12-year-old Austin Miles suspended in the air with his leg wrapped around the groomer’s cylinder. Austin was in shock, but was talking, surrounded by his family. “I’m 12,” he told Howell. “Help me. It hurts.” Howell had already called for help before he got to the scene. He’s familiar with snow groomers. The blades of the machine go so fast while churning up ice that a thick metal shield is behind the blades to stop anything, such as rocks, from being shot out. Howell called it “armor plating,” which rescuers would have to cut through to save the boy’s life. The groomer’s cylinder has attached teeth that are up to 5 inches long and 1-1/2 inches wide to break up the ice. Not only was Austin’s life in danger, but his leg would probably need to be amputated. Austin was conscious. And Howell saw no blood. His boot had jammed the cylinder after his leg wrapped around it, so the leg was in a 360-degree circle. Howell instantly knew more help was needed. And it was coming. Within minutes, emergency medical personnel from Livingston County EMS arrived, followed shortly by a crew from the Brighton Area Fire Authority. The firefighters quickly surveyed the scene and called for a helicopter from the University of Michigan’s Survival Flight. Because of weather conditions, the U-M team, which included two nurses, arrived by ground. Brighton Fire Marshal Mike O’Brian got there and found Austin’s father holding him in place. Firefighters jumped in, with four of them helping to hold the boy. Unforhmately, there was little room to maneuver. Austin’s leg was twisted and pinned between the cylinder and thick metal shield. At first, their rescue efforts didn’t work. EMS workers decided to sedate the boy. 'The procedure is common in hospital rooms before surgery, Livingston County EMS Director Jeff Boyd said.

The groundhog stayed out of her hutch through the count of 30 before heading back in on 31. She resurfaced again before the count of 35 - leading staff at the Howell Conference and Nature Center to assume Woody must be predicting an early spring. “It was a photo finish,” said Dana DeBenham, the center’s wildlife director, who blamed noise on Woody’s lastminute run for the hutch. “I don’t think she saw her shadow. I think she was frightened by the crowd.” This year’s forecast for an early spring marks Woody’s 10th prediction and this time she’s at odds with Punxsutawney Phil, the male prognosticating groundhog in Pennsylvania. The process goes like this: Woody is coaxed out of her hutch and has 30 seconds to see her shadow. If she’s frightened and returns to the hutch, that means sue more weeks of winter. If Woody is still outside after 30 seconds, that means a prediction for an early spring. “It’s all very scientific,” DeBenham said, tongue planted firmly in her cheek, to the crowd that gathered at the nature center Feb. 2. “She’s been right seven out of nine times.” Jacob Campbell, 7, attended the local event for the first time with his grandmother, Jolene Campbell of Marion 'Township. He hopes Woody’s prediction is wrong. “I want more snow, because there is no snow in Texas,” said Jacob, who was visiting fi-om the Lone Star state. He’s enjoyed his time in Michigan, “sledding, making snowmen and snow angels.” Kay Simmons of Hartland Township came with her husband. Bill Kreeger, and daughters, Lauren, 6, and Annika, 4. For them, the event was a culmination of conversations about folklore, German traditions, and the Groundhog Day celebration in Punxsutawney, Pa. Kay Simmons said her family has historically enjoys the whimsy of the day, “but we like doing anything that is different.” LEISATHOMPSON,THE L IVINGSTON COMMU NITY NEWS Howell resident Allison Smith, 9, came prepared for the 10th annual Groundhog's Day celebration Feb. 2 at the Howell Conference and Nature Center.

The County Board of Commissioners selected Mantey, 48, this week from a field of five candidates to fill the District 2 seat for the rest of the term that was held by Mike Randall until his resignation last month. The term expires Dec. 31. Mantey, who moved to Livingston County about a year ago from Tbscola County, said he looks forward to serving on the board. One of his goals as a commissioner, he said, will be 'N o o n e c a r e s h o w m u c h y o u k n o w u n t i l t h e y k n o w h o w m u c h y o u c a r e . ' James, Mantey, newly elected to Livingston County Board of Commissioners to provide “good stewardship and accountability” to county residents, “who take out of their wallets a lot of money in paying their taxes.” Mantey said the opportunity to help people is his motivation for getting involved in government. “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care,” he said. Chairman Bill Rogers cited Mantey’s 20 years’ experience as a township trustee in l\iscola County as a deciding factor in his selection for the seat. It was a difficult choice, he said, because the candidates were so well-qualified. “We were very pleased with all of the candidates... and we were surprised that we had so many interested. The quality of the candidates was excellent. It’s nice that so many people were willing to step up and offer themselves to public service.” Originally, there were sbe candidates for the seat, Rogers said, but former commissioner Martin Belser withdrew fi-om consideration, citing his health. In addition to Mantey and Belser, the candidates were Harry B o ^ a n , William Earl, Josiah Goyt and Margo Heinonen. District 2 includes all of Oceola and Deerfield townships and portions of Genoa and Howell townships. R e p o r t o n s e x a s s a u l t c o m i n g s o o n B Y R IC K F IT Z G E R A L D The Livingston Commgpity News The Howell Board of Education voted unanimously this week to direct its law firm to deliver a long-awaited report on a sexual assault that occurred on a Howell school bus last spring no later than at the next regular board meeting. That’s Monday night. Attorneys have been investigating how the school district handled the incident, since it was disclosed in September that Superintendent Chuck Breiner was not aware of the incident, even though it was reported to school district personnel and to police. According to police, a 7- year-old boy reported that he was sexually assaulted by two other boys - ages 9 and 11 at the time - aboard a Howell school bus last May. The two boys have been charged with first- and second- degree criminal sexual conduct in juvenile court. School board members took the vote Tuesday during a special board meeting. They said they did not yet know how the report would be made public. Because of the sensitive nature of the report and because it may include recommendations on personnel issues, board members said they were waiting for direction from attorneys on how public release of the report will be handled. Rick Fitzgerald can be reached at rfitzgerald@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844^2004. SCHOOL FROM A1 Breiner supporters speak up of the board room and told about the administrative leave. Breiner was not present when the board took the vote to approve the leave. When asked whether the attorneys were working on a severance agreement or a clarification of Breiner’s existing contract, Westmoreland said that would be left up to the attorneys to work out. He said there had been no proposal offered from either party. Breiner’s contract runs through June 30, 2012. He is paid a base salary of $140,000. Breiner’s situation has been in flux since he took a medical leave Nov. 26 for treatment of what he called a work-related ailment. He was cleared by his physician and returned to work Jan. 29. But almost immediately there was talk of placing him on leave, with some board members saying that day he had been placed on leave even though there had been no action taken by the school board. All that was cleared up in Tuesday’s special meeting. Deputy Superintendent Lynn Parish, who served as interim superintendent during Breiner’s medical leave, will continue in that role, Westmoreland said. Before the executive session, nine people addressed the board, with most of them addressing some aspect of the escalating battle between the superintendent and the school board. Pat Convery, president of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, drew applause when she implored board members “not to go backward, but to look how far we’ve come” as a community in recent years. Without using Breiner’s name she praised the strides made during his tenure, calling the school district one that is used as an example of a district that is doing things right. Resident Valerie Webster, who ran for the school board in 2006, said she’s been “quite embarrassed” over the last couple of weeks by the action of the school board. “It doesn’t look like we know what we are doing,” she said of the way Breiner’s return to work was handled. Howell City Council Member Steve Manor, a retired teacher, said he wanted to see Howell’s “long history of good, progressive education” continue. Howell Fire Chief Jim Reed urged the board “to move forward and get us back on track.” The only one to speak out against Breiner was Joan Johnson, who told the board that she thinks Breiner “has an agenda that’s not compatible with the majority of our community” before she was reminded not to make her remarks a personal attack. “There’s lots of evidence that the district needs new leadership,” she concluded. Breiner said he foxmd the public comments uplifting and forward-looking. He said he thought they were intended to “remind everyone there are some very good things happening and we could buUd on that.” “I think the community is concerned about its schools and wants assurance that they will continue to be good schools,” Breiner said.

JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY N EWS B r ig h to n S e n io r C e n te r's n e w d ir e c to r g e t t in g r a v e r e v ie w s B Y L IS A C A R O L IN The Livingston Community News There’s a new spark at the Brighton Senior Center and overwhelmingly, members are pointing to the new director, Tony DiCola, as the source. “He brings life to this place,” says center member Geraldine Briggs. “He’s so effervescent.” “I like that we have more togetherness than in a long time,” says Len Blood. “He’s welcoming people and has brought warmth and friendliness here,” says Kathy Brune. DiCola, a retired engineer, had a commercial driver’s license and had worked for the Brighton Senior Center as a driver before being hired as director after Nancy Hall resigned in December. “I had gotten to know many of the seniors very well,” says DiCola. “Because I knew them and got to know about their problems and issues, I view this job as director as a ministry.” DiCola is making the most of his engineering skills. He says that even though more space would be great, the center is making due with the space it has. “With the proper layout, we’re utilizing our space very well,” says DiCola. “We’re Brighton Senior Center ■ Where; 850 Spencer Road (in the Miller Early Education Center.) ■ Phone: 810-299- 3817. ■ Hours: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 9 a.m.-2 p.m.; Wednesday 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; Fridays closed; Saturday noon-4 p.m. ■ Membership: Open to all seniors age 55 and up. ■ Cost: Residents of Brighton, Brighton, Genoa and Green Oak Townships, and school district residents in Hamburg Township pay annual dues of $28; others $38. Membership is free to anyone over age 90. quite filled because we’ve increased the number of people coming every day to an average of 50 to 60.” DiCola took a survey on what members want to do at the center and is using the results to plan activities. The top vote-getters include driver training, card making, watercolor painting, wood carving, darts, billiards, playing cards and a talent day. A survey of where seniors would like to go on weekly trips had top choices including the Humane Society of Livingston County, the Tanger Outlet Center, Mount Brighton, a bowling tour and visiting group homes. ‘ Brighton Community Education, which runs the Brighton Senior Center, made some changes in the days and hours of operation last month, which drew some concern, but DiCola has tweaked the hours and says he is getting a good response. “Fridays are our trip days and the center is closed,” says DiCola. “We can bring 25 people on a trip, and we go to places in the general area like the Jiffy Mix factory in Chelsea and Cabela’s in Dundee. We’re trying to attract younger seniors on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons with special activities like canasta, pool, and bridge.” He says the most popular activities at the center these days include exercise, writing, art, book clubs and - the most popular of all - bingo.

Hard work in store for rec officials B Y L A U R IE H U M P H R E Y The Livingston Community News Staffers at the Howell Area Recreation Authority are banking on some new ideas to boost enrollment, generate income and maintain full-authority funding, three areas of importance for the recreation group as its leaders prepare to separate from the city of Howell’s auspices on July 1. The creation and maintenance of a MySpace.com page, designed to attract area teens, is one of the authority’s biggest projects. “We are promoting the activities of the teen center through their medium,” said Debbie Mikula, director of the authority. “It launched about a month ago, and we’ve already got numerous friends.” The MySpace page was created by Kory Richards, an employee of the teen center at 415 Barnard St., and gives details about the center, upcoming events and way? to get involved. It also gives people a chance to leave comments on the site at www.myspace.com/ howellteencenter. Recreation staff moderate the comments. G en e ra tin g income In an effort to increase income, authority board members are considering membership opportunities. Individuals, families or groups who pay a fee would earn membership status and discounts that could be used for recreation classes and merchandise at area sporting goods stores. In return for their membership, individuals will be invited to help plan the future of the authority, starting with the creation of a five-year master plan. “We are looking for people in the community whose passion is parks and recreation, a base of individuals to support our work, to go out and be champions for us,” said Mikula, thinking ahead for a probable recreation millage request in 2010. Based on an annual enrollment of more than 11,000 people for leisure classes, sports leagues, preschool and senior activities, the board chose what officials believe to be a safe first-year target of 100 memberships. L on g -term fu n d in g Adding to Mikula’s workload and anxiety level is the lack of a firm long-term funding commitment from each of the four groups inside the authority. The city of Howell, Oceola and Genoa townships have all agreed to multiyear' funding for the authority. while Marion Township has not. “One of our difficulties is that we don’t know what our level of income is going to be over the next three years,” said Marion Township Supervisor Bob Hanvey. Citing an unstable economy, and a chance for less revenue from the state, the Marion Township board could promise only to “forecast to provide funding” for three years. C l a s s i c m o v i e - a n d - l u n c h s e r i e s i n w o r k s i n H o w e l l Three Howell-based public service providers are coming together to bring more people downtown for entertainment, food and fellowship. The sbcmonth pilot program is set to start in March. A Classic Film and Lunch Series is tentatively scheduled for the third Tliesday of each month, said Debbie Mikula, director of the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority. Employees of the recreation authority, in conjunction with staff at Howell District Carnegie Library and the Howell Theater, will open the door for area seniors and stay-athome parents to visit the big screen once each month for a discounted fee of $5. Ticket holders will see a classic film at the theater beginning at 11 a.m., and receive a $2 discount toward lunch at restaurants downtown. Restaurant locations will vary and will be selected by groups hosting the movie series. “The target market in the beginning will be older adults,” said Donna Long, marketing director for the library. Long recently explained the benefits to members of the Howell Main Street Program and Downtown Development Authority as part of a $1,500 sponsorship request. While moviegoers gain access to big screen showings of classics such as “Gone with the Wmd,” “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” and “Ben Hur,” she said sponsoring businesses have an opportunity to pitch their products through giveaways and brief announcements before each showing at the theater, 315 E. Grand River Ave. Sponsors also will be recognized through recreation authority e-newsletters and quarterly library publications. Independence Village of Howell has already stepped forward to sponsor two films, “Casablanca” and “The Great Gatsby.” Sponsorships begin at $250. The, DDA also has signed on as a major sponsor. 'Ihansportation will be provided downtown from the Howell Senior Center by recreation staff, and plans are in the works to address transportation needs for other area residents. “Our goal is not only to show nostalgic films and bring individuals to our beautiful historic downtown, but to get our merchants involved,” said Mikula.

If enough residents don’t like board’s decision and sign petitions saying so, they can ask for a referendum, which would put the project to a vote of township residents. The $15 million project would be open for bid to local contractors, the developers said. The store would bring with it 400-500 jobs, of which approximately 50-100 would be managerial, and generate about $360,000 in annual tax revenue. The store site is nearly a mile from the Pinckney village limits and is not serviced by public utilities, which the village offers, but the township doesn’t. To date, Pinckney has not been officially presented with a request for sewer and water, said Village President Rebecca Foster. The developers suggested utilities could come via a Public Act 425 agreement, which allows two governmental bodies to exchange tax revenues and municipal services without annexation. Pinckney and Putnam Township have discussed these agreements for a parcel on M-36 owned by Jeffrey B. Green and another parcel on Dexter-Pinckney Road for at least two years, but haven’t been able to reach common ground yet. A majority of Putnam Township’s officers were elected in 2004 on a “Keep Putnam Rural” platform that promised controlled development and preservation of agricultural land. Residents opposed to the Meijer store have reminded them to stick to their promises. Others welcome the store’s coming, which they said would offer items they can’t buy locally now and have to drive 20 to 30 minutes to find. RESCUE FROM AT Local workers become boy's local heros on their own. Medical workers control the patient’s ojQfgen levels, usually providing higher levels. It’s a common procedure in hospitals - but not out in the field. In a cold, non-sterile environment, “it’s a bit risl^,” Boyd said. Austin would spend the next hour unconscious. Firefighters tried to cut through the groomer’s shield for 45 minutes. But the metal was too thick. Although a torch from the ski resort was making progress, O’Brian said it wasn’t happening nearly fast enough. Rescue workers knew time was of the essence. One firefighter suggested calling a nearby oil business, Corrigan Oil and Towing. The firefighter knew those workers had a more powerful plasma cutter. Corrigan’s Jim Wilcox, Rob Shosey, Ron Riggs and Jeff Adams were in the garage when the 9-1-1 operator called. At first, the Corrigan workers thought the driver had been pinned in the groomer. To their horror, they arrived to find a 12-year-old boy. “We all have young Wds, too,” Adams said. If they couldn’t cut through the thick steel, they were told Austin’s leg would be amputated, Adams said. Adams was the one who would operate the plasma cutter. He got a look at the injury. 'I h o n e s t l y b e l i e v e t h i s k i d h a d t h e h a n d o f G o d w r a p p e d a r o u n d h im . ' Sean Howell, witness to accident at Mount Brighton involving 12-yearold boy “Imagine if you take a piece of string and wrap it around your finger,” Adams recalled. “That’s what his leg looked like.” But none of the Corrigan workers had time to think about that or anything beyond the task at hand - freeing the boy. At first, Adams tried the plasma'cutter on parts of the 16-foot-long cylinder. Although there was some progress, it wasn’t fast enough. Austin’s airway was becoming “compromised,” the emergency crew said. He was in shock, and efforts to release him had been going on for more than an hour with no luck. Corrigan’s Wilcox overheard the U-M Survival Flight crew talking to firefighters about amputating Austin’s leg. “We are going to cut it and get him out of here,” they said to someone on the phone. They made one last effort first. Working with Adams, firefighters used the plasma cutter to separate parts of the metal shield in back. Once they got some room to work, firefighters could use the Jaws of Life to pry open parts of the shield. Austin was protected from the plasma cutter with a thick fire blanket one of the Corrigan workers remembered to bring. “They had to be very careful,” Howell said. “We got this patient right there, and there are hydraulic lines. You can’t be heating up hydraulic fluid. This was the type of incident no one has ever responded to. We had nothing to go on. We were in dark territory.” Soon, firefighters and emergency medical workers were able to remove the thick, bullg' snow boot they believed jammed the groomer. Austin’s leg was carefully maneuvered as firefighters slid it out of the groomer. Within seconds, he was on a stretcher and in the hands of the U-M medical team. He was rushed to the U-M Medical Center in critical condition. Earlier this week, Austin - who came to the ski area as part of a class trip from his Ontario school - was listed in good condition at the hospital. To those on the scene that day, it’s nothing short of a miracle. “I honestly believe this kid had the hand of God wrapped around him,” Howell said. C A R E E R from A i Today's manufacturing jobs work with robots All career and technical education programs have agreements with area community colleges so students can receive advanced placement credit for courses they’ve successfully completed in high school. Students in these programs also earn credit toward Michigan’s new high school graduation requirements. “It’s hard work,” said Josh Vielleux, a senior in Pinckney’s robotics program. “I’m not a 4.0 student but I’ve had a job since I was 16 and I’ve kept it because I work hard and I learned to do that in this class.” Other practical applications learned go beyond robotics. “Do your work, pay attention to safety and what you’re doing and listen,” said senior Todd Carlson. “That’s how you get a job when you leave here.” The median starting salary for industrial engineers with a bachelor’s of science degree is approximately $55,000 a year, Jackson said. Robotics technicians can expect to earn $20 an hour, he said. People trained in the health industry also are in high demand today, Jackson said. And, while the state and local economies haven’t been the rosiest of late in construction and building trades, that may be turning around, he said. “Hi^-end commercial construction remains strong,” Jackson said. “With an aging work force and recent migration of skilled tradesmen out of the state, journeymen masons, welders, laborers, heavy equipment operators and other construction specialties soon will be in demand again.” The idea behind all career and technical education programs is to produce the kinds of employees that companies want and will hang on to. Jackson said. “We’re preparing young people for a career, not just a job,” he said. Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@>livingstoncommunitynews. com or at810-844-2011.

A6| THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2008 Clum known for devotion to family, community BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News Not that Jeanne Clum is keeping a written list of all her achievements - a wife of almost 32 years, a mother of three successful children, a community advocate for Howell residents and businesses - but if she were keeping a list, her most recent achievement would put her in a class reserved for some of the best Howell has to offer. For years of community devotion, Clum was chosen this year’s winner of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce’s Citizen of the Year Award. “I never would have thought I’d be on that list,” she says following the Jan. 30 announcement and presentation. “When you look at the names (of previous winners) ... and all the great things they have done ... it’s very humbling,” says Clum. Clum, 50, attends more than a dozen meetings monthly as Jeanne Clum ■ A g e : 50. ■ Res idence: Howell Township. ■ Family: Husband of almost 32 years, Greg, and three children, Jessica, Courtney and Joel. ■ O c c u p a t io n : Marketing and development director for the Livingston County United Way. ■ C om m u n it y in v o lv em e n t (pas t a n d present): Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, Howell Jaycees, First United Methodist Church, PTO volunteer within Howell Public Schools, former member of the Howell Public Schools Board of Education, Howell Rotary Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Livingston County, Howell Area Youth Assets Initiative, Livingston County Planning Commission, Hartland Chamber of Commerce. ■ H o b b ie s : Camping, reading, visiting Michigan wineries. ■ La s t b o o k read: "Become a Better You," by Joel Osteen. ■ M o s t in flu e n t ia l people: Parents George and Livy Andrews and in-laws, Duane and Norma Jean Clum. ■ F u tu re g o a ls : A Family Day of Caring set for May 10. similar to the already popular United Way's Day of Caring. an active member of five civic organizations, brainstorming for ways to improve life in Livingston County. Then there is her 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. job as marketing and development director for the Livingston County United Way. Whether her daily volunteer commitment is to the Howell Rotary Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Livingston County, the First United Methodist Church, Hartland Chamber of Commerce or Howell Area Youth Assets Initiatives, she always looks for new ways to improve Livingston County. “It is so easy to be involved in this community,” says the Howell Township resident, crediting the people who live here and the initiatives they take on. Clum was not born in Livingston County, but came to the area at age 8. Despite spending her primary years in (iakland County, when asked where home is, “Howell” is her unequivocal reply. She has spent more than 30 years proving her dedication and working tirelessly at local festivals, as well as serving Howell Public Schools as a former Board of Education member and Parent Teacher Organization mom. More recently, she has spent the last eight years advocating for programs and community efforts identified by the local United Way chapter. One of her greatest points of pride however, is the commitment to community displayed by each of her three children; Jessica, Courtney and Joel. She and her husband, Greg, have instilled a sense of volunteerism in each of them that carries forward today. “It’s veiy exciting to see them (active in their communities,)” she says, speaking to their efforts locally and abroad. She is confident her children are active because of their upbringing. “We always included our Idds in everything we did.” Clum can’t pinpoint what or who inspired her to volunteer at 14. “I was a Rainbow Girl,” she says, though she doesn’t quite remember what she did for the group, which fell under the Masons organization. As an adult, she began her volunteerism with the Howell Jaycees, a group to which both she and Greg belonged and “made lifelong friendships.” Greg Clum has played and continues to play an important role in her life. Calling him a “quiet and genuine man,” she credits him in part for who she has become. The two met while attending Howell High School at a National Honor Society induction, and have been inseparable since. In fact, Jeanne Clum is the 2007 Howell Area Chamber of Commerce's Citizen of the Year. Her husband, Greg Clum, won the same award in 2002, making them the first couple to be honored independently. JAMIE CHARBEANEAUPISELLA. THE LIVINGSTON COM M U NITY NEWS she followed in Greg’s shoes as a chamber award winner. Greg, a local accountant, won the award in 2002, making the couple the first in 51 years to win the award independent of each other. “There is something so special about Jeanne and Greg. They have grown up with this sense of duty to give back to their community, and work tirelessly to do that,” says Pat Convery, president of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce. They regularly work in the community together (Howell Rotary) though sometimes from different points of view. As a board member of the Livingston County United Way, Greg is one of Jeanne’s bosses, and has in the past had to abstain from board decisions. Despite the occasional craziness of their lives, Jeanne Clum says they are very supportive of each other, and always make time for the important things. “I’m very protective of my personal time with family,” she said.

It is even included in some dictionaries as added clarification of the basic definition of a miracle, which is described as “an event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature, held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God.” To many, that seems to be the best way to describe what happened at Mount Brighton on the afternoon of Jan. 30, when an unusual confluence of forces led to the rescue of a 12- year-old skier who got tangled up with the teeth of a snow groomer. As detailed in a story that first appeared in the Feb. 2 edition of The Ann Arbor News and is reprinted today on Page Al, once the groomer driver realized that the leg of young Austin Miles was caught in his machine, he dashed into the lodge to get help from a ski patrol member. That triggered a 9-1-1 call. A Livingston County EMS ambulance crew responded as did the Brighton Area Fire Authority. A call went out to the University of Michigan Survival Flight team based near Howell at the Livingston County Airport. Although weather did not allow them to take flight, the highly trained medical crew rushed to the scene. But the guys who saved the day - and saved that young Canadian skier from having his leg amputated - were four wrecker drivers and mechanics fixjm Corrigan Oil and Towing. Yes, four guys who spend most of days towing cars fi’om crash sites and rescuing stranded motorists were the ones who saved the day. I’m calling them Corrigan’s heroes. Jeff Adams, Jim VYilcox, Rob Shosey and Ron Riggs - the guys their boss, Mike Corrigan, calls his “A team” - all happened to be in the shop when the call came in. A Brighton firefighter on the scene remembered that Corrigan’s had a tool called a plasma cutter that would be better able to cut the thick metal that was squeezing that young boy’s leg. So Adams, the one who uses the cutter the most as he works on Corrigan’s fleet, and the others rushed over to Mount Brighton. After several minutes of cutting away the metal and the fire department using its Jaws of Life to separate parts, the boy’s leg was freed and he was rushed to the U-M Medical Center. He was still hospitalized this week and his parents, who were chaperoning the school ski outing, have declined to be interviewed. Corrigan, rightly, is proud of his guys. According to the “A team” members, this was the first time the plasma cutter had been used in a rescue. But after seeing a demonstration of how quickly it can slice through a metal plate, I think it’s n o t ing less than a miracle that a firefighter remembered the tool; that it was sitting in the Corrigan garage just a couple miles down the road; that the guys who know how to use it best where right there, too. Maybe you can’t summon a miracle. But I do believe you can summon miracle workers. Managing Editor Rick Fitzgerald can be reached at rfitzgerald@ living5toncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2004. Love so sweet 'H o n e y ' a n d 'H o n e y B u n c h ' m a rrie d a lm o s t 6 0 y e a rs a g o BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News H arold and Millie Knapp believe that love and laughter are the underpinnings of a rich life. The Howell couple, who ju st celebrated 56 years of marriage, consider themselves among the richest of Harold and M illie Knapp ■ Ages: Harold, 93; Millie, 87. ■ Residence: Oakhaven Manor, Howell. ■ Family: Six children: Jim, Paul, Mary, Bob, Dan and John; 10 grandchildren. ■ Tips fo r a happy marriage: Spend time together, invest money for the future, laugh often and trust in God. ■ Favorite memories: Family events including holidays, Sunday meals, and ice skating on the pond they built in front of their Southfield home. couples. They plan to spend this Valentine’s Day with family celebrating their blessings, including close relationships and good health. The Knapps spend their days playing cards, shooting pool and holding hands while taking long walks around the Howell re tire ment home where they’ve lived for three years. Harold, 93, says they hold hands so Millie “can know where he’s going.” Millie, 87, scoffs and says “it’s ju st always felt right.” Harold was 36 when he met Millie at the Catholic Club in Detroit. It was a social place, where people would meet friends, listen to music and dance the night away. Harold was immediately drawn to her. “In fact, I looked at her twice. She had a sassy hat, good legs and a car,” he says, though he wouldn’t immediately learn of Millie’s Chevrolet. For his part, Millie saw “a good heart” in Harold, but she still made him work for that first date. The two danced only one song th a t first night before Harold, or “honey” as he would come to be known, collected his courage, asking to see Millie again. “I told him to call me next week,” she says. Between h e r job as a re g iste red n u rse and occasional d ates with doctors, h e r calenda r was already quite full. Well, their first date led to another and another ... three months later they were engaged. Three months after that, they were married, buying a recently celebrated 56 years of marriage. Their advice: Laugh a iot, enjoy time with family and plan for the future. Their life lessons continue on with their six children and 10 grandchildren.

According to Mary Hamway, the couple’s third of six children, they couldn’t waste any time. “My dad was already a spinster by tha t time,” said says, commenting on the common practice of marrying young. The pair welcomed six children in nine years. “If we’d been married earlier, we may have had 12,” says Harold. Millie - Harold calls her “honey bunch” - continued working until the birth of their second child, at which time Harold also left his quality control job in the auto industry to pursue a career in financial planning. It turned out he was good at it, because he consistently hit his sales goals, earning annual vacation packages for the family. “We traveled a lot. Some of the most memorable times are when we used to go to Florida,” says Hamway, a Brighton Township resident and one of five Knapp children who live S E E COUPLE, A 8 A l e a p d a y w e d d i n g o f y o u r d r e a m s - in H e l l ? If you're alreacdy hitche(d,you coulid renew your vows BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News They might have cold feet now, but John Colone is hoping many couples will warm up to the idea of marriage and take a leap of faith in Hell on leap day. He’s even offering his wedding chapel and a minister for free on Feb. 29 - leap day - for the ceremony. Reservations are suggested. Besides being a little quirlg^, which fits with Colone and the Putnam Township hamlet with the rather eccentric name, getting married on Feb. 29, which only comes around every four years, has its advantages, Colone said. “You have less of a chance of forgetting your anniversary, and you only have to celebrate it every four years,” he said. All kidding aside, Hamburg 'Township’s Ann Jarema, the legitimate, non-denominational Christian minister who will do the marrying, said those scheduling a ceremony should “have their heads on sti^ght and their hearts in the right place.” “If marriage is something you’re seriously considering anyway, this would be a fun day to do it,” said Jarema, who performs both religious and civil ceremonies. “There’s nothing like starting out with, ‘We’re gathered here in Hell to join this man and this woman...’” The leap day weddings must follow all legal requirements, including having a legitimate marriage license, which takes three days to get after applying. M ichigan residents should get their licenses firom the county in which they live. Couples here should go to the Livingston Cormty Clerk’s Office, 200 E. Grand River Ave., Howell. Those coming in fi-om other states also must contact Livingston County for a license, as they need one from the county in which they are being married, Jarema said. Call 517-546- 0500 for more information. Couples wishing to simply renew their existing marriage vows don’t need any additional paperwork Schedule a wedding in Hell on leap day by calling Colone at 734-878-1099 or Ja rema at 517-861-0423. The idea to offer weddings in Hell, Colone said, came from his recollection that people used to call Feb. 29 Sadie Hawkins Day when he was a kid. Sadie Hawkins was the “homeliest gal in the hills” in Al Capp’s “Lil Abner” comic strip. Her father, a prominent citizen of Dogpatch, created Sadie Hawkins Day for his daughter to catch a husband. 'The day was traditionally celebrated in November, but over time became part of leap year traditions. S E E CHAPEL,A8 John Colone, owner of this wedding chapel in Hell, plans to have a little fun with leap day on Feb. 29. He will offer his chapel free of charge and arrange a minister for couples thinking of tying the knot on this once-everyfour- years day. Colone, who also owns Screams Ice Cream & Halloween Store in Hell, recommends couples make reservations for the chapel. JAMIE CHARBENEAUPISELLA.

T he actor’s name is Robe rt Dubac and he is the star and author of the one-man show “The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?” It’s coming to the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts Saturday, Feb. 9. Dubac has been touring the country for the last 15 years in the show. “The show is about a guy COUPLE FRO M A7 '4 ( iOW1 23 Sfwdild trying to figure out what women want,” says Dubac. “The stage represents the inside of his brain - the left side is the masculine side and the right side is the female side.” During the show, Dubac portrays the different characters who offer him advice. Performer Robert Dubac gets into character at "Bobby" during his "Male Intellect" show. He brings the >how to the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts Saturday night. COUFiTESY, ROBERT DUBAC “The characters are geographically and culturally diverse,” says Dubac. “What keeps the show fresh for me is the other character of the play - the audience and its reaction. The show’s got a great message about the male and female conundrums that have been going on since the dawn of time.” He says th a t despite the title, it is not a male-bashing show and calls it “an equal opportunity offender.” Patti Hamilton, cultural a rts coordinator for the BCPA, likens the show to “Defending the Caveman,” which came to the BCPA last year. “T hat show was such a big hit here, th a t we thought how could we go wrong with a comedy tha t takes shots at both males and females, yet all in fun?” asks Hamilton, who warns tha t the show has adult content and mature language. “I have seen a number of his clips and have laughed ju st a s hard a t each one.” Dubac also has a second show tha t he created called “Robert Dubac’s Male Intellect: The Second Coming” and he is working on a third play tha t he says will soon be complete to cap off the trilogy- Lisa Carolin can be reached at Icarolin&livingstoncommunitynews. com or at 810-844-2010.

CHAPEL FROM A7 Wedding reservations suggested Another legend says that in 5th century Ireland, Brigid of Kildare convinced St. Patrick to grant women one day a year on which they could propose marriage. St. Patrick compromised by agreeing to letting it happen every four years - on leap day. In 1288, Scotland passed a law making it legal for women to propose on leap day. Men who declined were fined. For those more scientifically inclined, leap day is needed to keep the calendar in line with the seasons. The Earth takes 3655i days to journey around the Sun. Leap day is thrown in every four years to make up for those quarter-days. Pair treat every day as a blessing nearby. ■ “Every year, the whole family would drive three days, with Grandma, too.” The group would p a ss the time talking, but could also play music if called upon. Harold is a self-taught h a rmonica and accordion player, while Millie is a classically tra in ed pianist. The two would often play for family, pa rticularly during holiday celebrations or th e ir weekly dinner gathering. Family remains very imp o rtan t to Harold and Millie, a quality th ey ’ve passed on to th e ir children, who have since p a ssed on to the grandchildren. “They were g re a t role models,” says Hamway. “My mom took good ca re of him a t home, and he provided h e r the means to do it.” The family still gathers for holidays, children’s ’ sp o rting events, important milestones and sometimes for no re a l reason other than to c e lebra te family. “Even my brother, who lives in Chicago, flies in once a month,” says Hamway. Though the family has expanded through marriage and added a generation, the love and lau g h te r continue to fill Harold and Millie’s home. “The family, th a t’s what’s keeping us living,” says Harold. For the rest, the pa ir tu rn to spirituality. Millie says Harold has been a “good, kind h usband,” with only one fault. Apparently, h e ’s color blind and has been in need of some fashion advice. “She threw out four of my su its,” he says, remembering th e ir early years, “and people told me I neve r looked so good (as I did once I ma rried.)” Millie ju st smiles, and nods in ag re e ment. “My p a ren ts were always good together,” adds Hamway. “They a re g re a t role models, paren tin g with advice, neve r being overbearing.” It is a tra it she emb ra c e s in dealings with her own children.

L January 30, 2008 Wssn# 5322 Village o f Pinckney Consumer Confidence Report F o r Calendar Year 2 0 0 7 An n u a l D rin k in g Water Q u a lity Report This report covers the drinking water quality for the Village of Pinckney, for the calendar year 2007. This report is designed to inform you about the water quality and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. Our water source is from the groundwater. In 1990 the Village of Pinckney installed two wells that comprise the wellfield, they are situated in a sandstone aquifer at a depth of 200 feet. The wells are both 12-inch production wells, and have the capacity to pump 500 gallons per minute. The well logs show an abundance of gray clay approximately 30 feet in depth in this area. The bedrock of water-bearing sandstone interbedded with limestone and shale was reached at 60 feet, tc “We’re pleased to present to you this year's Annual Quality Water Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water source is (name the source and type, i.e., wells, “Our wells draw from the Duncan Aquifer”, surface water, i.e.. River Jordan or we purchase our water from the City of Waterville which is treated surface water from Lake Duncan.) (This is REQUIRED information). “ \1 3 In June of 1997 the Village of Pinckney established a Wellhead Protection Plan, a voluntary program to protect our source water from potential sources of groundwater contamination. Reducing the threat of contamination of our wells may allow us to defer or waive certain costly monitoring requirements. To help indicate the susceptibility of the groundwater to contamination, we have tested our source water for tritium. Tritium is a naturally occurring isotope whose presence increased as a result of nuclear weapons testing in the 1950’s causing groundwater to be “tagged” with excess tritium. Groundwater recharged prior to the 1950’s will have a tritium level at or below one “tritium unit” (TU). Our system detected tritium at 1.4 and may be considered vulnerable to contamination than water with lower tritium levels. Although tritium levels may indicate an aquifer is “not vulnerable,” it is important to realize that a potential for contamination may still exist. For that reason, we’ve taken steps to protect our wellhead area. Contaminants and their presence in water; Drinjang Water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Vulnerability of sub-population; Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplant, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Crytosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800- 426-4791). Sources of Drinking 'Water; The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally - occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants th a t may be present in source water include; Microbial Contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic Contaminants, such as salt and metals, which can be naturally - occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides and Herbicides; which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses. Organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by - products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which provide the same protection for public health. The Village has sampled three consecutive times, and no residents in the last round exceeded the action levels for lead and copper. We have complied with EPA Lead and Copper regulations for the monitoring period of 2006. The Village will begin testing for lead and copper again in the 2008 calendar year. The Village also collects monthly bacteriological samples throughout the Village, and all the test results indicated non-detection limits. I’m pleased to report that our drinking water has met all federal and state requirements. The Village of Pinckney routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. This table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2007. The State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once a year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. All the data is representative of the water quality, but some are more than one year old. In this table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we’ve provided the following definitions: N/A - Not applicable Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/1) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Action Level - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Maximum Contaminant Level - (mandatory language) The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - (mandatory language) The “Goal”(MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. EPA considers 50pci/l to be the level of concern for beta particles. Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. Monitoring helps EPA determine where certain contaminants occur and whether it needs to regulate those contaminants. The State and EPA requires us to test our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. As you can see by the tables shown above, that the Village Water System had no violations. We’re proud to inform you that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements for 2007. We are committed to providing you safe, reliable and healthy water. We are pleased to provide you with this information to keep you fully informed about your water. We will be updating this report annually, and will also keep you informed of any problems fhat may occur throughout the year, as they happen. We invite public participation in decisions that affect drinking water quality. You can attend Village regular scheduled council meetings, on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m., at 220 South Howell Pinckney, Michigan. If you have any questions about this report or concerns about your water utility, please contact David Marshall at the Department of Public Works at 734-878-0666. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. For more information about safe drinking water, visit the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency at HYPERLINK http://www.epa.gov/safewater/ www. epa.gov/safewater/. You may review or receive a copy of this report at the Village Office at 220 South Howell Pinckney, Michigan. Office hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday thru Friday. We at the Village of Pinckney work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us to protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future. This report will NOT be mailed to individual customers. Regulated Contaminants MCL MCLG Level Detected Sampled Taken if Not in 2007 Violation Yes/ NoV Likely Source Of Contamination 1.

But not if Brighton, Milford or Lakeland have anything to say about it. The Eagles, who won a state championship in 2006, are in first place in the west division of the Mount Brighton boardercross league, with Brighton closing the gap heading into the final race of the season Monday. Next week brings final exams for area skiers and snowboarders. The Brighton and Hartland boardercross teams are likely to advance to Wednesday’s unofficial state finals against the top two teams from the east division at Alpine Valley. On Thursday, the Brighton, Hartland, Howell, South Lyon and Pinckney boys and girls ski teams will compete at the Division I regionals at Alpine Valley, with a berth in the Feb. 25 state finals at stake. For all the hassles of rainouts and the lack of snow forcing meets to be rescheduled, Brighton boardercross coach Bill Snyder said it’s been a good season of racing. Boardercross involves four snowboarders, all handicapped by a time trial, racing downhill over moguls and around gates to cross the finish line first. “Mount Brighton has done a great job working with us,” Snyder said. “They’ve made sure we have courses. They have made extra snow for us. They’ve moved snow around. They’ve really stepped up and said boardercross is important.” At states, each team will accumulate points from 10 flights for the boys and she for the girls. The flights with the more skilled riders are worth more points. Wagner said it won’t matter if one team has an advantage with one particular gender. “If one team has stronger females, you have the advantage, but at the same time, that goes for the boys, too,” she said. Wagner said she sees more focus when her riders get to states. “There is definitely a competitiveness and an enthusiasm. That’s good. You want that in the riders,” she said. Snyder said his Bulldogs “have a real shot at winning.” “We have a team that will be a challenger. It will be a real race. Nobody will walk away with it,” he said. Both coaches admitted the “home slope advantage” will only help so much. The race course will be different than any other this year, and probably much more difficult. “They will add more obstacles,” Wagner said. “If they are running on a tougher course, we won’t have an advantage. It is all about what you are used to riding on.” The individual state title will be decided among 40 boys and 40 girls - 20 of the top male and female snowboarders from each division. Brighton junior Brooke Shelton was undefeated heading into Thursday’s competition (results were unavailable at press time). Snyder said Shelton’s training efforts with teammates Nick Stachurski and Kyle Whiteman have pushed her to improve. “Riding with two high-level guys, she gotten rid of being timid,” Snyder said. “She rides faster because of it.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. Football recruits pick schools Brighton's Gaujanian heading west to Ferris State program BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Even after being named Brighton’s defensive MVP as a junior, Nick Gaujanian knew he had to bulk up his 195-pound frame. Gaujanian sought the ad- Brighton defensive end Nick Gaujanian signed w ith Ferris State University this week after making 17 tackles-forloss. vice of his cousin, Chad Smith, a former professional decathlete who now is the strength and conditioning coach for the National Hockey League’s L.A. Kings. Gaujanian began doing the same year-round workout Smith gives his professional athletes. “I went to California several times to train with him,” Gaujanian said. “I needed to gain weight. I dropped my 40 (yard dash) by half a second. My vertical (jump) went up 7 inches. 1 became more aMetic and faster and gained weight.” Gaujanian’s bigger 220- pound frame help him make 17 tackles-for-loss and seven sacks as a defensive end for the Bulldogs. It also landed Gaujanian a scholarship to Ferris State University, a Division 2 member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. He signed his letter-of-intent Wednesday, the National Signing Day for thousands of Division 1 and 2 football recruits around the country. He also considered Northwood University and the University of Indianapolis. “His goal was to play college football. He is following his dream,” said his father. Mike Gaujanian. Gaujanian’s teammate, all-Kensington Valley Conference center Brian Mclnerney, will become an opponent in college after landing a partial scholarship with Wayne State. Mclnerney said former Brighton assistant coach Mike Ryan introduced him to Wayne State’s coaches. “I had every school in the GLIAC, except Grand Valley State, talking about visits,” Mclnerney said. “I wanted to go there (Wayne State) for pre-med. It was a good fit.” Mclnerney said his line mate, tackle Tory King, will play at Urbana College, a Division 3 school in Ohio. Pinckney lineman Noah Pelto will sign with Northwood University. Pinckney coach Dan Burkholder indicated quarterback-athlete Sean McEachem is undecided about his futiu’e. Sam Holton committed to Holton Pelto Hillsdale College two weeks ago. South Lyon tackle Chris Groth, who will play for the East team in the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association All-star game in July, likely will choose between Columbia or Brown, two Ivy League schools that don’t offer athletic scholarships. Lion running back Ian McGee said he’s considering walking on at Eastern Michigan or Butler, two Division I programs; the GLIAC’s University of Findlay or Albion or Hope, two Division 3 colleges. “I’m basically all over the map,” he admitted. “I’m 100 percent sure I want to play McGee Groth somewhere next year.” Whitmore Lake defensive back Justin Ketzner will choose among a handful of Division 3 schools, according to coach John Priestap. Some athletes, unfortunately, get left behind in the recruiting process. Fbwlerville linebackertight end Joe Lane said coaches were recruiting him his junior year, but after December, GVSU and EMU quit calling. Lane, who will be teammates with Holton and Mclnerney on the West team at the MHSFCA All-star game, said he has already been accepted to EMU and Central Michigan, so he might try to walk-on at either school. “I’m pretty disappointed,” he said. “I want to play college football. I just don’t know where.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

For Brighton girls, it's do or die at Novi tonight FILE: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton's Genevieve Sixbey-Spring, seen here driving to the basket on Junior Morgan Albert, will play a critical role against Novi tonight. 8th Straight KVC championship rests on win BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News It’s showdown time in the Kensington Valley Conference. The Brighton girls basketball team faces essentially a do-or-die game at Novi at 7 tonight to keep its historic streak intact. The Bulldogs, chasing their eighth straight KVC championship, lost to the Wildcats, 52-44, on Jan. 15. The winner will head into the final week of the regular season with a one-game lead. Should Brighton win, it must still beat arch rival Howell on Tuesday and secondplace Lakeland on Friday, Feb. 15, to secure the championship. “The girls are real focused for the (Novi) game,” Brighton coach Jason Piepho said. “They want to be the team that continues the streak. I expect them to come out and see a great effort against a team like Novi.” Piepho said the Bulldogs (12-5, 10-1 KVC) struggled offensively against the Wildcats in their loss. “We didn’t do a great job executing,” he said. “They got us on our heels. We are going to make some adjustments for how we attack their defense.” There’s another pending showdown on the boys side, although the winner of tonight’s Hartland- Pinckney game might have to settle for second place. Novi (11-5, 9-2 KVC) has a one-game lead in the standings. When the Pirates (11-4, 7-4 KVC) and Eagles (11- 5, 8-3 KVC) met in Jan u ary, the league lead was at stake. Both teams have slipped up since then, but that doesn’t diminish the importance of this rematch. Hartland coach Frank Leppek said his team isn’t ready to concede the title to Novi yet. The two teams meet Feb. 15 at Hartland. “I think everybody’s got another loss (on their schedule). Hopefully, we’ve used ours up already,” Leppek said.

The after-school program has grown rapidly to more than 60 students. Jellison began teaching archery as part of his science curriculum after earning certification in the National Archery in the School P ro gram, administered through the state Department of Natural Resources. The success of the NASP spawned a club tha t meets once a week to teach outdoor endeavors such as archery, shooting trap and sporting clays, flytying, fly casting and other fishing, canoeing and kayaking and survival skills. “I’m almost to the point where I have to turn kids away,” Jellison says. “I’ve had to buy a second set of (archery) equipment. The key for me was to get the kids Archery club founder Robert Jellison, a science teacher at Hartland Middle School at Ore Creek in Hartland, works with John Birgy, 9, of Hartland, at archery practice at the Land-0- Lakes Bowman's Club in Tyrone Township. JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS away from the computer and active,” During the fall and spring sessions, Jellison sets up a rchery practice either inside the gym at Ore Creek or outside the school. He has taken club members to the Island Lake Shooting Range for practice. He’s even hosted fishing parties a t ponds on his property. “Their eyes a re so wide. For some, it’s the first fish they’ve caught in their lives,” he says. Jellison, a former high school varsity boys basketball coach, says he enjoys working with a diverse group of students, including those with Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis and in a wheelchair. “Some can’t throw a 50- yard pass, but anyone can ... shoot archery,” Jellison says. His ultimate goal would be to get other Kensington Valley Conference schools on board, so the teams could compete. Jellison’s archers are training for their first annual State NASP Tournament Feb. 19 at Ore Creek, with the opportunity to qualify as a team or individually for nationals in Kentucky. Friends Katie Corcoran, 14, and Jessica Nystrom, 14, remember before the club grew popular. “There were only 15 kids,” Nystrom recalls. “But people were telling others how fun it was. Mr. J (Jellison) is a good teacher. He has helped a lot of us.” Getoski says he joined because Jellison was his favorite teacher. “This is pretty sweet,” he says. “I like to hunt. It’s every Monday, not ju st during hunting season.” Friend Joe Caruso, 13, an eighth-grader a t Ore Creek, adds: “If you come, you can really refine your (shooting) skills.” Tackett and her husband, Barry Tackett, both certified National Archery Association coaches, say their children love the club. “Our kids have been doing archery for six years,” Lori Tackett says. “Now tha t it’s started in the schools, the kids concentrate better. They do b e tte r in school and in a rchery.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. Tuesdays and Th ursdays all w in ter.

Vassallo, a primary care physician specializing in internal medicine, discusses medication with patient Judy Miller during a recent office visit. Livingston County faces a shortage in primary care physicians, according to experts in the area, mirroring a nationwide trend. Physicians in short supply County reflects nationwide trend of fewer primary care doctors BY USA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News The number of physicians setting up practices in Livingston County is not keeping up with the growing population. That means that in as little as two years, there will be a shortage of primary care physicians as well as a shortage of physicians in almost every specialty. That’s the view of Dr. Doug Edema, chief operating officer a t St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Howell. “If you looked at the population and ages in our community, the usage patterns, and the number of physicians here ... there is a significant disparity,” says Edema. “Livingston County is the fastest-growing county in the state, and our population tends to leave the county to get care. There are some people not getting the care they need.” There are a total of 179 physicians currently serving Livingston County according to Maureen Cummings, director of medical staff services for St. Joseph Mercy Health System. She says that breaks down into 99 primary care physicians and 80 specialists. While she agrees with Edema that Livingston County faces a doctor shortage, she argues tha t the shortage is already very real. “The shortage for both primary and specialty-care physicians exists now in Livingston County, and with the population growth the shortage will S E E PHYSICIANS,A 4 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS U -M Health System plans expansion The University of Michigan Health System has its Brighton Health Center and Kellogg Eye Center facilities in Livingston County. That footprint of the U-M facility will expand in the future, said spokeswoman Kara Gavin. U-M just spent $6.9 million to buy 32.47 acres of land on the south side of Challis Road, west of Karl Greimel Drive, near the existing Brighton Health Center. The land is expected to be used for a new specialty and diagnostic facility. 'Option 2' picked ifor high schools P la n t o g iv e H o w e ll 2 4 - y e a r s c h o o ls b y 2 0 1 0 BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News After months of public discussion, the Howell school board this week decided how the district will use its high school buildings for the 2008- 09 year. In a 4-3 vote, the board approved what has become known as Option 2 among seven proposed plans. The approved plan will have all students in grades 11 and 12, plus students in grades 9 and 10 living on the north side of the district, attend Howell High School. Students in grades 9 and 10 living on the south side of the district will go to Parker High School. The Howell High School Freshman Campus building - which in recent years has housed ninth-graders as well as the school district’s central office administration offices - will be closed or leased. The plan involves an incremental transition to two separate, four-year high schools in three years. Parker will add an 11th grade in 2009-10 and a 12th grade in 2010-11, when it will be a four-year campus, joining Howell High School. This school year, Parker has been a temporary high school for grades 10-12 serving the entire district while Howell High School is being renovated. An earlier motion to approve Option 3 was defeated 4-3. That plan would have placed all 11th- and 12th-graders a t Parker with all ninthand lOth-grade students at- School board OKs Op tion No. 2 Here's the high school plan for next year:. ■ All Howell students in grades 11 and 12, plus north-end students in grades nine and 10, will attend Howell High School. ■ South-end students in grades 9 and 10 will attend Parker High School. ■ The Freshman Campus building on Highlander Way will be closed or leased. ■ Cost: An estimated $790,000 in the first year. tending Howell High School. It would have cost the district about $602,000 the first year, not including the cost of additional buses. The proposal involved eight more bus routes, according to Director of Operations Mike Peterson. The plan chosen will cost an estimated $790,000 in the first year alone, the secondhighest price tag among the options. Voting in favor were President Phil Westmoreland, Dan Fondriest, Michael Yenshaw and Wendy Day. Voting no were Vice President Jeannine Pratt, Secretary Kim Shumaker and Treasurer Ed Literski. “To me, it’s absolutely insane to sign up for a program we can’t afford,” Literski said.

She saved the life of a child who was choking and will be honored by the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross as one of its "Everyday Heroes." BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News Heroes come fixim all walks of life, and this year’s “everyday heroes” being honored by the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross represent law enforcement, teaching, medicine and more. For Kim Resconich, a third-grade teacher at Brighton’s Homung Elementary School, being observant and knowing how to react were two essential attributes that helped her save a child’s life. She will be honored as a Red Cross hero at a Thursday, Feb. 21, banquet. “It was snack time in my classroom and children were allowed to talk,” said Resconich. “I looked at one student who started to choke and then became silent and had a ghostly look on his face. He couldn’t make any sound at all. I realized he was choking and did the Heimlich maneuver two times.” Resconich released the piece of orange that the child was choking on while the rest of the students watched. Dr. Thomas Butts, partner at Oral Facial Surgeons o f Michigan in Brighton, saved a man's life by giving him CPR on a golf course. He also will be honored by the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross, on Feb. 21 PHOTOS: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS “I explained to them that’s what you do in an emergency situation,” said Resconich, who also saved her mom with the Heimlich maneuver when she was choking at a restaurant. “There are so many emergency situations in a school setting where S E E HEROES, A 4 INDEX Calendar A9 Livingston Life A7-9 Real Estate & Building AS Rick Fitzgerald's column A7 Scrapbook A8 Sports B1-2 Volunteers A8 To report news or for free home delivery call (810)844-2000.

Pinckney clerk debate goes on Village Council plans another public hearing on issue BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Pinckney officials have revived their debate about whether the village clerk should be elected or appointed. A public hearing on the issue could be set at the Village Council’s meeting on Monday, Feb. 25, a t 7:30 p.m., when it is hoped the whole group will be in attendance. Trustee Kurt Mohrmann missed this week’s meeting due to a death in his family. A public hearing on the topic two years ago generated comments overwhelmingly in favor of appointing the clerk to bring more stability and accountability to the job. But a vote to change the village’s ordinance, which sets the clerk as an elected position, fell short of the twothirds majority needed to pass when Trustees Pat Dewey, Jim Shay and Bob Stone voted no. Only Stone remains on the council today, and he said his position is unchanged. Some newer council members, though, agree an elected clerk might be better. “Right now, if something comes up th a t’s not quite above board, the clerk can step up and say something because he or she is elected independently,” Trustee Rob MacDonald said. “If the clerk is appointed and re ports to the village president and something happens, the clerk could be fired ju st for disagreeing with the village president. We’d lose some checks and balances.” Appointed clerks are more , JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Ann Meredith, a member of the group "Quilts of Valor,"displays her handiwork.

In the five y e a rs since, members have completed and shipped quilts to 15,000 injured American soldiers. About half a dozen of the 70-member Casual Quilters Guild of Brighton a re volunteers in the Quilts of Valor program, said Guild President Deb Sherman. After learning of the program, Brighton resident Ann Meredith wanted to become involved, and she has now made several quilts. “I make them all in patriotic fabrics,” Meredith said. Quilts of Valor is divided into two groups - in quilt terms, the piecers and machine quilters - each with a separate function. A piecer herself, Meredith purchases the fabric and sews the pieces of cloth together, using her own sewing machine. Once Meredith has completed the outer shell, she drops it off at Monarch Quilts, owned by Jan e Clark, at 2100 Grand River Ave., in Genoa Township.. Clark adds the batting and then sews the top and bottom together. Clark performs the function, using her business equipment, all at no cost to Quilts of Valor. “I think (Quilts of Valor) is a great program,” Clark said. “The soldiers get to wrap up with lots of love.” Clark has finished about 25 quilts in the one year she has been a volunteer. Meredith writes a personal note to go with each quilt and has received several letters thanking her. “I love quilts, and I am very grateful for the one you made. God bless you,” said one recipient. The twin-bed size quilts are delivered to injured soldiers in medical centers, VA hospitals and other locations. Roberts is hoping volunteer quilters will seek out soldiers ^ m their own area who have been injured and make quilts for them. Quilts of Valor does not engage in fundraising, instead relying on the volunteer quilters to donate the materials or seek individual donations. “This program is run on a shoestring,” Roberts said. The quilters are even responsible for providing the postage, which can end up costing them hundreds of dollars per year. Clark gets a lot of satisfaction out of her service. “It’s one small thing I can give back to the community and the soldiers,” she said. ABC news correspondent Bob Woodruff is perhaps the best-known Quilts of Valor recipient. Woodruff, who was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., was seriously wounded last year while covering the war in Iraq when hit by a roadside bomb, which left him with a traumatic brain injury.

Project Linus makes blankets, afghans for children Monarch Quilts will be involved in a separate effort - Project Linus - which will have a blanket-making day Saturday at the Genoa Township quilt store. Also an all-volunteer effort, Project Linus members provide handmade, blankets and afghans to children in crisis. Anyone is welcome to help Saturday and sewing experience is not a requirement. The project will run 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at Monarch Quilts, 2100 Grand River Annex, Suite 200.

As it stands, Pinckney’s clerk can be chosen through a popularity contest on Election Day instead of by how qualified he or she is for the job, she said. “We could get someone who knows nothing about computers or someone who says I’m not going to do utility billing,” Foster said. “We could get someone that says all I have to do is come to village council meetings and keep the minutes, and th e re ’s nothing we can do about it.” The council’s budget committee has determined the clerk could be appointed without costing Pinckney any more than it pays for the position now, said Trustee Barry White. Amy Felty, who was elected clerk in 2004 and handles the job pa rt time, makes $28,500 annually. If the council agrees to change the ordinance, it will not go into effect for 45 days. During that time, Pinckney residents who favor electing their clerk can circulate petitions to have the issue put to a vote of the people. Signatures would have to be obtained by 10 percent of the village’s registered voters. Pinckney’s tre a su re r has been appointed for about nine years. The council must decide what to do with the clerk’s job a t least 30 days prior to the Aug. 12 filing deadline for the position in the Nov. 4 general election.

IN BRIEF Fowlerville Self esteem pilot offered at Munn Principal Larry Cowger and counselor Aimee Long are piloting a new academic intervention program for seven students at Fowlerville’s Munn Middle School. During this semester, they are collaborating with self-esteem advocate and karate instructor. Sam Larioza to create a program that will build academic success by increasing self-identity - called BASIS - in fifth-grade students. Students will be tran sported to Larioza’s Ghana Karate studio for 1.5 hours every week until the end of this school year. During that period students will be guided by Larioza in a program of self-defense, goal setting, resiliency, integrity and self motivation. Counselor Long will oversee the students and provide additional field trips and group support at school. School staff will evaluate the success of the program with a pre- and post-program survey of participating students. “One of the things tha t has baffled me is the number of students who are already experiencing hopelessness in fifth grade,” Cowger said. “We’re hoping to change some lives.” Sophisticated signs planned at Wal-Mart The Fowlerville Wal-Mart, 790 Gehringer Road, is due to open March 7 with new corporate signage. Edward Neill of PB2 architects in Chicago appeared before the Village Council on Feb. 4 and gained approval for the new, more sophisticated look. The signature blue panels will be changed to a neutral earth-toned beige that matches the gables over the front entrances of the building, and text will be written in white. In addition the number of signs will be reduced from 16 to 14 and the size of some signs will be reduced. The change met with approval by the Planning Commission and the Village Council. Council Member and Planning Commissioner David Kuehn said, “It looks like a nice department store instead of a discount store.” Public nuisance law changes made The Fowlerville Village Council approved changes in its ordinance on how to handle public nuisances, such as inoperable vehicles, litter, rubbish, sidewalk repair, snow and ice removal, stagnant wate r removal, grass and weed control and tree removal. The new ordinance provides that the village manager may investigate the nuisance and give written notice requesting the nuisance be removed. If the nuisance has not been removed after 10 days, the village may remove the nuisance and charge the responsible party with the cost of removal. Hensley appointed to planning board The Fowlerville Village Council appointed James Hensley to the village’s Planning Commission to fill an unexpired term ending April 30, 2010. Hensley is a claims adjuster for Citizens Insurance who previously served as a precinct delegate in Clinton County and has served on several commissions and local committees at Michigan State University. He has lived in Fowlerville for almost one year. “The reason my family moved to Fowlerville was for the tight-knit community feeling and the good school district tha t allows you to feel like this is a hometown, ra th e r than someplace you simply live,” Hensley said. Hamburg Tovi/nship Museum closing for renovations The Hamburg Township Historical Museum, 7225 Stone St. in the old village, will be closed from Feb. 23 to March 15 so its gift shop and tea room can get new carpeting and a fresh coat of paint. The tea room is part of a Free Methodist Church that was built in the old village in 1865. A second floor was added to the building in the 1950s to accommodate the township’s government offices, which moved into the then vacant church. The sanctuary became a public meeting room. Most of the church’s bell tower remains, but the bell now hangs in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 7701 E. M-36, Hamburg Township. It still rings at 8 a.m. every Sunday. To volunteer at the museum or join the Hamburg Historical Society, call 810-986-0190. The museum’s regular hours are 4-7 p.m. Wednesdays and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays. River cleanup activities set Officials have set the dates for two spring activities designed to keep the water flowing through the Huron River so homes on it and connecting lakes in Hamburg Township are b etter protected against flooding. The township’s annual Huron River Cleanup Day, hosted by its Flood Prevention Committee, is set for Saturday, April 26. Volunteers are needed to help remove winter debris that may hinder the flow of water. The township also is re ceiving the permits needed to harvest curly-leaf pond weed from the river from May 14-17. The rapid growth of this weed in the spring can clog waterways. To get involved with the committee or the cleanup day, call 810-231-1000. Howell OLHSA seeks help at Walk for Warmth The Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency is looking for certified massage therapists or students learning to do therapy to offer complementary chair massages at the Walk for Warmth fundraiser from 9:30-11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23 a t Howell High School Freshman campus, 1400 W. Grand River Ave. Walk for Warmth raises funds to assist low-income Livingston County residents with utility shut-off notices and heating fuel.

Pinckney Appointments made to village DDA board John Calvert, Sarah Hurtubise and Carol Norman have all been reappointed to Pinckney’s Downtown Development Authority Board of Directors. Each will serve until Feb. 28, 2012. Putnam Twp. Township Hail work on schedule Construction of a new Putnam Township Hall is on schedule and should be completed by April. The new hall, being funded by $680,000 in bonds and being built by Bruce Donovan Construction, is on M-36 ju st west of Cedar Lake Road. The township has put its annex at 122 S. Howell St. up for sale. Pinckney’s senior center has tentative plans to move into the current Township Hall when offices relocate to the new township hall.

Howell's Program Success getting results P r o je c t in f i r s t y e a r a t m id d le s c h o o ls BYTOMTOLEN The Livingston Community News T he grade point averages of stu d en ts in a program for at-risk kids a t Howell’s Highlande r Way Middle School have gone up by an impressive th re e qu a rte rs of a point since the program began la st fall. After three years as a pilot program at Highlander Way, Program Success is now in its first full year at both middle schools. At Three Fires, grades were up onequarter of a point fi'om the first quarter to the second, but Principal Sue Muntz expects more dramatic improvement over the next two quarters. More than 200 students are enrolled in the program, the brainchild of Highlander Way science teacher David Coopersmith and school counselor Kathy Literski. The program, which takes the place of an elective, is one class period per day. “(The program is designed) to help students who are struggling with learning, to provide skills and strategies so they can succeed on their own,” says Muntz. At the same time that academic achievement has risen, disciplinary problems at Highlander Way and Three Fires Middle schools have gone down, and a good part of the reason is Program Success. “Disciplinary problems are down this year, and we feel there’s a correlation (with Program Success),” says Highlander Way Principal Sandra Moore. “Students are feeling better about themselves.” Highlander Way Assistant Principal Marge Hamill says discipline referrals and suspensions are down 22 percent from last year. This includes fighting (18 vs. 30 last year), threats (7 vs. 12) and tardiness (23 vs. 61), inappropriate behavior (115 vs. 144 incidents) and insubordination (21 vs. 45). Hamill also credits the addition of a “violence and aggressiveness component” at the schools for the reduction, in response to a state directive to school districts to implement programs to reduce bullying. Coopersmith and Literski developed Program Success after researching ways to raise the academic level of un- T ’« Program Success is in its first full year in the Howell Public Schools district middle schools. More than 200 students are enrolled in the program, which has been credited with helping students improve their grade-point averages and helping to reduce disciplinary problems. Pictured are student Annmarie Seyffert, left, teacher David Coopersmith, second from left, and students Cailey Carroll, second from right, and Courtney Clymer who are working on a math assignment. derachieving students. “We looked at the numbers - 20 to 30 percent of students in the state don’t graduate from high school and become social and employment problems - so we’re looking at what we can do to help kids,” Coopersmith says. He adds that the program has practical, long-term benefits for society. “It avoids social welfare programs, and it saves taxpayers money,” he says. In it, classes are divided into teams with up to 25 students per team. At Highlander Way, there are four eighthgrade teams, three in seventh grade and four in sixth grade. At Three Fires there are 90 students enrolled in the program - about 30 each for sixth, seventh and eighth grades - and an average of 10 students per teacher, which allows each student to be given more individual attention. The only criteria for entrance into the program is a grade-point average of 2.0 (C) or below, or high absenteeism. “The students should be succeeding and progressing, but something is blocking that,” Muntz says. “Some lack organizational skills,” she says. Muntz says some may bring problems from home, such as living with a single parent who is away at work much of the time, or lacking social skills or not feeling they “fit in.” A goal of the program is to empower students to advocate for themselves. Coopersmith says many students are reluctant to talk to a teacher or counselor about questions they have about class work or problems. “Self-advocating is talking to teachers, giving (the students) empowerment to do well,” he says. Coopersmith and the other Program Success teachers meet one-on-one regularly with the students to go over their individual progress and make sure they are on task, as well as to discuss any problems that might impede their advancement. Helping students succeed in school - and in life - is the bottom line, Coopersmith says. “I’m not here to get an Attaboy,”’ he says. “I became a teacher to help students improve academically and to think about their future.” Tom Tolen can be reached at ttolen® livingstoncommunltynews.com or at810-844-2009. 4 appointed to new Brighton art commission Among duties, board will oversee Brighton Biennial scupiture event BY STEPHENIE KOEHN News Special Writer A quartet of Brighton residents are the first members of Brighton’s newly formed Arts and Culture Advisory Commission. Carole McGeehan, Eugene Juergens, Barbara Hardesty and Carrie Pipoly, appointed by a City Councii vote Feb. 7, will work to help increase public awareness and enlist public support for the promotion of a rt and culture in Brighton, said Mayor Kate Lawrence, who will serve as the City Council liaison to the commission. Each of the four is a longtime supporter of the arts and, as stipulated in the ordinance, a Brighton resident, Lawrence said. “Carole is a graphic artist for the Homeland Security Department; Eugene is a downtown booster; Barbara is a longtime Brighton resident who is interested in the arts; and Carrie’s whole family is active in the a rt scene,” the mayor said. In addition to planning promotional and educational activities to increase public awareness of the arts and culture and to attract new public art, the commission is charged with working within the goals and objectives of the city’s master plan and its other guiding development plans, Lawrence said. Established by ordinance in August, the commission replaces the Mayor’s Commission on Art in Public Places, an earlier, more informal effort to focus on a rt in the community. Lawrence said she hopes the new commission will continue the Brighton Biennial, the city’s well-known public sculpture exhibit. “I believe the community has embraced the biennial,” Lawrence said. “By forming the commission, we hope to keep w ha t’s sta rte d active and growing.” The commission, she said, also will engage in fundraising. Nearly 30 sculptures have adorned the downtown area since September 2005, thanks to the biennial, which offered artists an opportunity to show their works in public and, ultimately, to sell them. Through the biennial, many local a rtists have been provided with a venue for bringing their sculptures to the public, Lawrence said. “In September, when this biennial is concluded, the pieces that have not been sold will be going back to the a rtists for display in other communities,” she added. The commission will solicit a new group of artists for pieces for the next display in the downtown area. Lawi’ence said she hopes some new pieces will be in place before the old ones are removed. The city has purchased one piece, “The Children,” from the current display, Lawrence said. The DDA has purchased three pieces that may ultimately be rotated to other locations. In addition, local artist Adam Genai has donated a piece to Gleaners Food Bank which that organization can sell to raise money, Lawrence said.

Transition for rec authority prompts cuts As Howell-area agency moves toward autonomy, senior center director, 2 others lose jobs BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News The announcement of Mark Swanson’s departure from the Howell Senior Cente r was made to are a seniors this week a t the place where he was most comfortable: The Paul Bennett Recreation Center, where he often joked and talked with senior citizens who gathered there. For some, it was the first they’d heard that Swanson, senior center coordinator for more than seven years, had left, effective Feb. 8. For others, the announcement delivered during Monday bingo by Debbie Mikula, director of the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority, was confirmation of what they’d already heard. “We have valued Mark’s work with us, and we will keep the programs moving forward that Mark started,” she told the group of 50 bingo players. Swanson, along with two part-time employees, Kim Kennedy (preschool administrator) and Scott LaRente (adult sports coordinator) were notified last week they would not be hired by the recreation authority in an effort to close a $450,000 budget gap as the recreation program transitions from city auspices to it’s own entity July 1. The $240,000 cost-cutting measure follows the failed recreation millage request in August 2006. Joan Copeland, of Genoa Township, returned to the center Monday following a recent surgery in hopes of catching Swanson, and asking him about his plans. She had heard that he would be leaving, but did not expect it to happen so suddenly. “T hat’s too bad,” said Copeland, 77, upon learning that Swanson had already gone. “He did a fine job.” According to Mikula, everything Swanson initiated will continue, though the responsibility for each program will be shifted to another member of the recreation staff. In addition to the senior activities already offered, she pledged additional department programming opportunities be- Senior Center informatio n ■ The Howell Senior Center, located inside the Paul Bennett Recreation Center at 925 W.

Swanson, 58, realized finances were behind the city’s offer of a separation package tha t had him leave his post five months prior to the transition. He understands Mikula’s job is to make the recreation authority self-sustaining with an adopted budget March 1, but he worries about area seniors and their many needs. “My biggest duty was providing empathy and gateway services,” said Swanson. Overall, the Putnam Township resident says, “I’ve enjoyed my time, appreciated the opportunity and hope I made an impact on the community and those seniors lives.” He has no plans to stop working however. “As one door closes, anothe r one opens,” he said. “I’m now available to re-enter the fray, maybe with a different hat.” Laurie Humphrey can be reached at ihumphrey@ livingstoncommunitynewsxom or 810-844-2003.

However, patients have access to physician care in the surrounding counties.” The number of physicians in family practice is particularly small, says Edema. “We have an aging population of physicians, particularly those in family practice,” he says. “A number of the family practice physicians in the county will be retiring in the next five years.” Trend reflected here Cummings says tha t the physician shortage here is a part of a nationwide trend. “There are fewer people going to medical schpol because it’s become such a litigious environment,” says Cummings. “The relationship between doctors and patients has changed. The cost of malpractice insurance has gotten so expensive.” Cummings says the physician shortage is happening at both ends of the spectrum. “Enrollment is down a t medical schools and doctors a re getting out of the field a t (age) 55 instead of a t 70,” says Cummings. “The shortage is especially noticeable in g eneral physicians because they a re the le a st appre c ia ted and le a st re im b u rsed ” by insurance companies. Cummings says specialists th a t a re and will continue to be the most sought a fte r include cardiologists, endocrinologists, n eu ro su rgeons, orthopedic specialists and critical-care doctors. Ted Westmeier, director of the Livingston County Dep a rtm en t of Public Health, says th a t although Livingston County will be affected a sho rtag e of physicians th a t is expected to plague the whole sta te , he thinks Livingston County will remain b e tte r off th an many other communities. “We have several health systems competing for people in this county,” says Westmeier. “We also have a high number of insured people,” which Westmeier says means more demand for physicians in the county. Starting a practice One exception is Dr. John Vassallo, a prima ry care physician, who opened an office in Genoa Township in October 2006. Vassallo has received backing from St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, with which he is affiliated. He says the hospital has been helpful in keeping his p ra c tice going and growing. “St. Jo e ’s was willing to help me get sta rted because of the shortage of physicians in Livingston County,” says Vassallo. “1 see pa tien ts from th e ir teens into th e ir 90s. I also see patients in nursing homes and in the hospital so th e re ’s a continuity of c a re .” Vassallo’s wife, Gayle, is his office m an ag e r and says it takes time to get a new business off the ground. “It helps th a t we work closely with St. Jo sep h Mercy Hospital,” says Gayle Vassallo. “We a re getting more and more re fe rrals from p a tien ts and family members as well as from the hospital emergency room. Most doctors pre fe r to specialize be c ause p rimary ca re physicians a re at the bottom of the pay chain. Popular opinion is a primary ca re physician needs to see 25-30 p atients a day to stay in business.” Gayle Vassallo says St. Jo sep h Mercy Hospital r e c ruited h e r husband and worked out an agreement with him to stay and p ra c tice in the community. She says th a t for a physician to get a practice started, it can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $1 million depending on the office and the medical equipment needed. For Dr. Naomi Pearsall, a family physician a t Brighton Family Care, working in Livingston County was an easy decision. “I grew up in Pinckney, and we had one doctor a t th a t time,” says the 47-yearold. “I’ve been commuting to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor as a nurse and then as a medical s tu dent for the la st 20 years, and wanted to work closer to home.” Pe a rsa ll has se en h e r 16- month-old practice in Brighton grow quickly. “People a re tired of driving out of the county for medical c a re ,” says P e a rs all. “They a re more likely to fulfill th e ir health care needs if it is convenient for them.” P e a rsa ll says th a t out of h e r class of 170 medical stu d en ts a t the U-M, only five chose to go into family practice. “I chose it because I like everything and wanted the option to do everything from delivering babies to doing small surgical procedures. HOWELL FRO M A1 District might have to cut budget more next year Literski said he is worried about the long-term consequences of the new plan. “I’m very concerned with future years because I see declining dollars with increasing costs,” he said. “I think it is fiscally irre sponsible,” Shumaker said Tuesday. “You can have vision, but you have to temper that with today’s reality,” she said. “My biggest fear is we would commit to something we cannot finish, and the potential for that is astronomical.” Day had argued in favor of Option 6 - closing Parker while conducting a building study - but h e r motion was defeated, 6-1. Day also warned that the plan passed would cause the district financial problems down the road. “We have a ‘cut’ list that is not pretty that includes textbooks, (teaching) positions and a pool,” she said. The district has slashed millions of dollars fi-om its budget during the last five years and might have to cut about $2 million more for the 2008-09 school year. Despite their misgivings, Literski, P ra tt and Shumake r all vowed to work hard to make the adopted plan a success. “I will work to make it work,” Shumaker said. Shumaker, who developed the series of eight Community Conversation” informational meetings, said Option 3 “was the overwhelming choice of those attending.” By Thesday afternoon Shumaker said she had already received 20 e-mails and numerous phone calls from parents, all critical of the plan selected. Howell High School Principal Bill Smith said he supports the plan chosen. “Our goal,” Smith said, “is two separate, four-year high schools, and Option 2 allows us to get to a transition that is most cost-effective and is best for students.” Smith said the plan also will serve the Lansing Community College program housed a t Parker well, since Howell High School students wanting to take LCC courses will be bused to the other campus. Lucian Leone, director of the LCC Livingston Center, said Tliesday said the plan will not adversely affect the LCC program. “While we would’ve liked to have 11th- and 12th-grade students continue a t Parker,” he said, “we understand it’s in the best long-term interest of the district, and we’re willing to work with the school district,” Leone said. With the big decision on the future use of Howell High and the Parker Campus now made, the board can devote its attention to making major spending cuts for the coming year, based on current projections.

Expansion plans There are ju s t nine general medicine physicians who work part-time or full-time in Livingston County who are affiliated with the U-M. Th a t’s out of a more than 41 doctors and n u rse p ra c titioners affiliated with the U-M who work in Livingston County. “We know th a t Livingston County is growing, and anywhere the population is growing, our whole system is looking to expand,” says Mary Beth Riley, a health system spokeswoman. The U-M has its Brighton Health Center and Kellogg Eye Center facilities in Livingston County. That footprint will be expanding, but exactly how is not yet determined, said spokeswoman Kara Gavin. The U-M Health System ju s t spent $6.9 million to buy 32.47 a c re s of land on the south side of Challis Road, west of Karl Greimel Drive, n e a r its existing Brighton Health Center. The p u rch a se plan sta te s th a t the land will be use for “future development of a new specialty and diagnostic facility ... and d emonstrate a long-term pre sen c e and commitment to the p atients in this market.” The Brighton Health Center is the U-M’s largest facilily in the county at 41,500 square feet and offers specialists in such areas as pulmonary care, cardiology, gastroenterology, rhumatology, diabetes, bowel disorders, obstetrics and gynecology, and sports medicine. St. Jo sep h Mercy Hospital has recently added a program to tra in family pra c tic e re sid en ts a t both its hospital in Howell and a t the Woodland Health Center in Genoa Township. Residents who successfully finish the program can apply for board certification in family medicine with the hope th a t some will choose to practice in the county. In addition, the second floor of the Warren R. and Lauraine A. Hoensheid Cancer Center, which opened in May 2006 adjacent to the St. Joseph Mercy Woodland Health Center in Genoa Township, was built with an eye toward future growth.

HEROES FRO M A1 Nominees chosen this year people do things. “I am honored to be recognized, but wish everyone could be. I work with heroes every single day and am a representative for everybo^.” Dr. Thomas Butts is being recognized by the Red Cross for saving a man’s life on a golf course last year. John Wattos of Milford was golfing at Oak Pointe Country Club in August when he collapsed in cardiac arrest. Butts, whose father had died of cardiac arrest 20 years ago, gave Watkins cardiac pulmonaiy resuscitation for nearly 15 minutes until Brighton firefighters and Livingston County EMS paramedics arrived and administered electric shocks to restart Watkins’ heart. “I had been recertified in cardiac life support since 1983, and that one day made it all worthwhile,” said Butts, who is an oral simgeon who practices at Oral Fhcial Surgeons of Michigan in Brighton. “I thought the whole time I was hying to save him that he would be a warm body in a bed that the family could say good-bye to or else an organ donor. “When he made it all the way back, I felt like God let me participate in a miracle. It’s humbling when you see how many lives you impacted.” What makes this year’s “Salute to Everyday Heroes” banquet special is that everyone who was nominated was chosen. “The committee, which is made up of members of the community, thought that every one of the nominees had great stories,” says Diane Serra, executive director of the Livingston Chapter of the American Red Cross. “Every one of them is just amazing.” At the banquet there also will be a presentation about the local soldiers who have died in Iraq and a tribute to Rolling Thunder and Patriot Guard, both military veteran motorcycle groups being honored as community heroes.

Pinckney Village, county work on factory project Village officials are hoping to set up a meeting with the Livingston County Building Department next week to break a roadblock that’s preventing the former Patterson Lake IToducts factory from being tom down. Everything is on hold until the county decides what documentation it needs to grant a demolition permit, said Village President Rebecca Foster at Monday’s council meeting. “Every time we get back to them with what they say they need, they say they need more,” Foster said. The meeting likely wiff include a representative from Howell’s Regal Recycling Inc., which has received the bid for the work, Foster said. Plans to allow regional fire and safety emergency firstresponders to use the demolished building for training have fallen through due to funding and scheduling issues, said TVustee Barry White, who’s also a Southfield Fire Department captain. However, local emergency first-responders still may train at the site during the demolition, he said. Village officials still hope the 70-acre site at the comer of South Howell Street and Patterson Lake Road will be clear sometime this spring, so it can be turned into useful and marketable real estate, Foster said. The village, which acquired the site for back taxes in the late 1990s, has tried to get rid of the eyesore for years. Patterson Lake Products, which closed in 1990, was a heat-treating facility from 1952-72 before becoming a manufacturer of automotive screws and bolts until it closed. Livingston County Conservation group offers scholarship The Livingston County Wildlife & Conservation Club will again grant a $1,000 scholarship to graduating seniors or college students from Livingston County who plan to or are majoring in the environmental field. Applications are available at all county high schools. Deadline to apply is March 21. Interested students should contact their school guidance counselors or the club at 810- 231-1811.

Hansen bought the building w ith his wife, Kelly, and he and his father, Wayne Hansen, and spent nearly one year remodeling the upstairs space for his office, from which he has a classic view of the historic courthouse. T h e u l t i m a t e o f f i c e s p a c e i n H o w e l l V ic to r ia n b u i ld in g is r e s to r e d REAL ESTATE & BUILDING BY CASEY HANS The Livingston Community News fhile leasing signs for traditional office spaces sprout throughout the county, Howell financial planner Jeff Hansen chose a different approach to finding his new work space. He invested a lot of sweat equity. Hansen said it paid olf in a unique space that contributes not only to his financial planning business, but to downtown Howell as well. “I wanted to be part of a community - my community,” said Hansen, a Howell resident who moved his office fi'om Fhrmington Hills. “I made a conscious effort to do that.” With the help of his dad and business partner, Wayne Hansen, and his wife, KeUy Hansen, a local interior designer, he created the ultimate office space in the upstairs of a circa 1870s classic Victorian building that was once a printing business. Still in the roof structure are boards that were used to promote a local circus that were reused when the building was reconstructed, Hansen said. After removing the walls to the studs, the space now has new crown moldings atop the 10- to 12-foot walls for the period restoration. As many of the original window panes as possible were kept, as well as interior doors and hinges. Other items, including light fixtures found at auction, push-button electrical switches with pearl inlays, and the exterior door found at a salvage store, were kept true to the period. Oak plank flooring and custom bookcases that reach for the ceilings add to the office’s ambiance. Jeff and Kelly Hansen, ages 39 and 37 respectively, invested in their building a t the comer of State and Clinton streets, spending the better part of a year on the renovations before moving in last September. Renovating the original windows to the space took five months, they said. “When we looked at the office, I said ‘man this is going to be a boatload of work, but this would be a cool office,’” Jeff Hansen said. In addition to hours of hands-on work, the Hansens spent about $50,000 to create exactly the space they wanted. From his desk, he enjoys a classic view of the historic Livihgston County Courthouse. COURTESY, KELLY HANSEN Jeff and Kelly Hansen's space on State Street before the building was restored. Mindy Arnold, Howell Main Street Program manager, said Hansen’s handiwork is a prime example of what the city likes to see done in a historic building. “It is very, very impressive. He’s a model for other property owners downtown,” she said. “We hope to see more this.” She added that office space downtown is an important part of the mix of the city, bringing regulars to town for shopping and lunch. The couple’s love of historic buildings did not begin with this project. They have renovated and lived in four historic homes in the Howell area, including an old Victorian, a Mission-style bungalow, an English Colonial and another home on Mason Road. Kelly currently runs her business, Kelly Hansen Interiors, out of a brick carriage house on Lucy Road in front of where the family lives - not downtown but still in the city. Eventually, Kelly said she would like to move her design business to the storefi'ont space below Jeff’s (it is currently leased). The couple also has future plans to renovate the building’s facade, taking it back to it’s Victorian roots. Jeff Hansen is active in the Howell Rotary Club and Howell Area Chamber of Commerce as well as a sitting member of the city’s Downtown Development Authority board and chairman of that group’s design committee. He is a certified financial planner and certified wealth specialist who does mostly fee-based retirement planning and speciffiizes in business succession plans. The couple has two children, Ava, 8, and Hans, 9. Casey Hans can be reached at chans® livingstoncommunitynews .com or at810-844-2005. R e a l P a i n . R e a l F a t i g u e .

IN BRIEF Brighton City public works department seeks accreditation The Brighton City Council gave its blessing Feb. 7 to a Department of Public Services pursuit of accreditation by the American Public Works Association. Accreditation, said City Manager Dana Foster, “can serve as a measuring toot to determine where we’re at now, relative to a set of standards and as a way to maintain (those standards) once you’ve met them.” Another benefit, Foster said, is that the department will be reviewed by an objective, outside entity. Mayor Kate Lawrence also noted tha t the department might qualify for a discount on insurance if it is accredited. Matt Schindewolf, Brighton’s DPS director, said a site visit by the APWA would be the next step in the process. The Kansas City, Mo.-based APWA is an international educational and professional a ssociation of public agencies, private sector companies and individuals dedicated to providing high quality public works goods and services. Brighton is the smallest municipality in the nation to undertake this accreditation process, Schindewolf said. Livingston County Recycling center needs help Saturday Recycle Livingston needs volunteers Saturday, according to Linda Berch executive director. Those dropping off items for recycling are asked to stay and help as much time as they can. Volunteers also can call to schedule a time to volunteer.

The plan, a major part of the city’s budget-approv^ process. calls for close to a 50 percent drop - from $4.5 million to $2.2 million - in terms of what the city will spend on capital projects next year compared to this year. The total number of projects will drop from 24 to eight next year, Fbster told council members. Also, all expenditures for vehicle and equipment replacement, including information technology, will shelved until 2009-2010. Projects slated for 2008-2009 include possible acquisition of land for a new city haU, improvements to Omdorf Drive, a Mill Pond Lane sewer bypass, curb and gutter installation, blower and compressor rebuilds, a lift station for the downtown alley. irrigation drainage improvements and stormwater regulation compliance. The reduction in projects for the next fiscal year is due partly to the downturn in the local economy and to diminishing opportunities for development as the city approaches build-out. Utility fee revenues are dropping, there has been no growth in state revenue sharing, the city has reached its own spending limitations and an overall reduction in the growth of its revenue base, Foster said. “Very, very preliminary projections” by Finance Director Dave Gajda for the city’s total tax base show a growth (in the state equalized valuation) in the coming year of less than 1 percent, compared with 2 percent to 3 percent in past years, he said. The two most expensive projects, Foster said, are $750,000 for property on which to build a new city hall - if council decides to proceed vidth the project - and $875,000 for Omdorf Drive improvements. But, given the city’s financial prospects, these projects must be undertaken on a pay-as-you-go basis, Foster said. Property acquisition rests upon the city’s securing an installment loan and Omdorf Drive improvements can only take place if a Special Assessment District is created. The city has reached its self-imposed limit on acquiring additional bond indebtedness, so cannot timn to that source of revenue until at least 2009- 2010, Foster said. In fact, recent projections show year-end working capital reserves to be 13 percent of expenses, or $527,000 below the 25 percent guideline set by City Council. Foster said a basic recommendation of the revised CIP is to rebuild the utility fund’s capital reserves to 20 percent of expenses. Other large-scale projects for fiscal 2008-2009 include a sewer line to bypass the Mill Pond Lane sewer line, which is at capacity, and curb and gutter improvements in the city’s northwest neighborhoods, both to be paid for out of the city’s general fund. Development planned a lon g proposed rail BY JOHN MULCAHY The Livingston Community News A Green Oak Township developer is proposing a “transit oriented” commercial center on the old Woodbridge Corp. property on Eight Mile Road, just west of US-23. Earl LaFhve, co-owner of Beck Development Co., owns the 25-acre site at 435 W Eight Mile Road formerly used by Woodbridge to manufacture foam products. LaFave also is the managing member of the limited liability company tha t was formed to develop the property. The property, next to the Great Lakes Central Railroad tracks, is a proposed station stop for an Ann Arbor-Howell commuter rail service, which a coalition of private and government agencies is trying to start. The site sits in Northfield Township, at the Washtenaw- Livingston county line. While the development by itself wouldn’t necessarily push the rail project forward, it would be the first piece of new infrastructure connected to the proposed commuter line. TYansit-oriented development is typically a mkeduse development tha t “feeds off the energy of the transit station,” LaFave said. Some typical uses might include a coffee shop, restau ran ts and service-type commercial outlets, he said. Conceptual designs for the development include space for a commuter train station and 275 to 300 parking spaces for commuters, but the development is not totally dependent on the commuter train project, LaFave said. The new commercial center also would be well-suited to serve traffic fixim the highway, he said. The coalition promoting the rail service expects to offer a bid package soon for a “validation study” to determine if data already gathered about ridership and other aspects of the rail service are solid enough to proceed. LaFhve is a member of the coalition. Northfield Township Supervisor Michael Cicchella, one of the leaders of the rail coalition, said the township welcomes LaFhve’s idea. “This is very appropriate,” Cicchella said. LaFave said he believes there is demand for the kind of development he is considering despite the slow economy. “'The traffic counts and the feasibility of commercial development up and down US-23 is still relatively good,” LaFave said.

Below, sculptor and pastry chef Dave Balia of Brighton creates a dragon from ice. RICK FITZGERALD The Livingston Community News we have this saying in Michigan about our weather: If you don’t like it, ju s t wait a few minutes, and it’ll change. We’ve certainly se en this w e a the r adage a t work in the p a st week or so. We’ve had rain, snow, frigid tem p e ra tu re s and cut-like-a-knife winds. This winter. I ’m sh a ring a new version of th a t old w e a th e r saying; J u s t drive a few miles, and it’ll change. The tru th of such a saying was never c le a re r to me th an it was last week as a double-dose of schoolclosing winter w e a th e r swept through the area. IXiesday night (Feb. 5) I w as out at a meeting in Howell. As I left around 9:30 p.m. th e re was a light mist of ra in falling. Not quite two hours later, a s I left our downtown Brighton office, I found myself slopping through a good 2 inches of slush a s I walked to the car. The drive south on US-23 was truly weird. At th e s ta r t it seemed like th e re m ust be someone hovering above me dumping the contents of a supersized Slurpy onto my windshield. I was slow-going with traffic creeping along a t around 35-40 mph. By the time I re a ch ed Whitmore Lake, the falling slush had thinned to a steady ra in and traffic picked up the pace to 50-55 mph. I had a similar experience Wednesday afternoon. I left Brighton in a blizzard and, while it snowed all the way home to Dexter, th e re was clearly less snow on th e ground and tiny hints of blue sky greeting me a s I pulled into the driveway. What a difference 20 miles can make. National Weather Service me teorologist Steve Considine says changing weather like th a t happens when one edge of a w e a th e r front is wa rme r than the o th e r edge. In the case of what happened la st week, with tem p e ra tu re s hovering around the freezing m ark, th e re was rain on th e so u th e rn edge of the front and snow on the n o rth e rn edge. It happens all the time, Considine S E E FITZGERALD, A 8 Erik Reichenbach, left, with his teammates as they celebrate victory during the first immunity challenge during the Feb. 7 "Survivor" episode. Reichenbach, of Hamburg Township, can be seen on the show each Thursday at 8 p.m. CBSTV PHOTO 'Survivor' contestant's family celebrates his debut Friends, teammates also gather at Hell's Dam Site Inn to watch opener BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News His competitive start on “Survivor: Mcronesia - Fbns vs. Fhvorites” a week ago was predicted and expected by those who know Hamburg 'Township’s Erik Reichenbach. Watching his debut on the CBS-TV reality show with the 22-year-old at Hell’s Dam Site Inn? Well, that was a trip. “It was very cool,” said Marilyn Reichenbach, his mother. “His father said it was like watching Erik in a home video. He was there and all of his friends were there and everyone had a great time. It worked out well.” To keep media attention away, Reichenbach and his family spread it aroimd that they weren’t going anywhere to watch the Ffeb. 7 premiere. That allowed aroimd 70 people, including his family, closest Mends and some of his current Eastern Michigan University track and cross country teammates to watch the show with Reichenbach in Hell in peace. 'They cheered when Reichenbach shot into the water and raced to be first on the beach in the show’s first competition. His father, Richard, who was a competitive high school and collegiate runner, was pretty proud, Marilyn Reichenbach said. So were his running coaches. “Erik has a competitive nature that was instilled in him a long time ago as a little kid and that’s not going to go away,” said 'Tom Carney, Pinckney Community High School running coach.

OK, so Reichenbach raced up the beach right past the idol that would have given him immunity from the first vote off the island. He didn’t need it anyway - this time. Whether they know him or not, those in Reichenbach’s hometown are eager to beat the winter blahs by watching him compete, get rained on, go without food and strategize on a warm, sunny tropical island. Laura Schimmel, an EMU student and 2003 Pinckney graduate and Reichenbach’s former cross country teammate, served food and drinks to those who came to Pinckney’s Bleacher’s Bar & Grill who turned out to watch “Survivor.” “This is so amazing,” Schimmel said. “I couldn’t believe it at first that we have someone on ‘Survivor’” Something that could finally take some of the attention away finm Reichenbach’s long blond hair and short green shorts and place it on his ability as a “playe r” happened in the first immunity ch ^en g e when he pitched sand fi’om a hole his team was digging into the hole the other team was digging and on top villainous all-star Jon “Jonny Flairplay” Dalton. “We thought it was pretty funny that someone was throwing sand on Jonny Eairplay, then we noticed it was Erik,” Marilyn Reichenbach said. “We laughed even harder. That’s Erik.” Something a little more subtle, but very noticeable to Goodrich, was Reichenbach’s instinct to defer to his teammates during the challenge, which they won. “For someone who’s truly such an individual in so many ways, he’s a team player,” Goodrich said. “It’s going to be a lot of fun to let it play out and just see how he does.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. FITZGERALD FROM A7 Cold Canadian air doesn't mix well with Gulf breezes explains, although not a lways in the same locations. I even shared with him the theory I’ve heard some folks rep e a t tha t one weather system seems to roughly follow 1-96 from Grand Rapids, through Lansing and over to Howell and Brighton, while a different w e a th e r system rolls a cross the sta te along 1-94 from Kalamazoo, through Ja ckson and into Ann Arbor. He laughed. Apparently w eather fronts don’t rely on s ta te highway maps. Considine says the se kinds of differences a re more ap p a ren t this time of y e a r when frigid a ir masses heading south from Canada collide with w a rm e r air masses heading north from the Gulf of Mexico. However, even th e se out-of-state w e a th e r systems don’t follow the inte rsta te s. “It ju s t ends up th a t way” every now and then, Considine says, and the highways a re a convenient grid for us am a teu r weather watchers. He says the Ohio valley region is a more typical battleground for the dueling we a the r fronts. That may be, but th e re a re plenty of subtle changes around here in ju s t a few miles. All you have to do is ask around the office. Some days you’d think we all flew in on red-eye flights from all over the world instead of driving in from slightly different p a rts of the region. I g ue ss it’s ju s t one of the things th a t makes life inte re stin g during a winter in so u th e a st Michigan.

The organization paid tribute Feb. 7 to the many volunteers from the county, who have helped to add employers and employees to the list of donors during the last year. Companies and organizations in the county with 100 percent employee participation in donating to the United Way in 2007 included the Livingston Coimty 4C Council, the Women’s Resource Center, Brighton Commerce Bank, and the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce. The amount of money raised in 2007 is not yet known, but every dollar raised in Livingston County turns into $1.42 in programming, officials say. Jeanne Clum, director of development and marketing, said the campaign is comparable to last year at this time. “Some local companies have done very well while some have had significant employee reductions, and that hurts,” says Clum. “We’ll have a better handle on the campaign by mid-March when more out-ofcounty accounts come in.” The 2006 campaign raised $1.57 million. Clum said the local United Way has not been using any monetary goals in recent campaigns. “The idea is to focus on increasing the number of donors and income we can make through that, and to focus on how we’re serving people,” says Clum. “By doing that, the dollars will come.” During the meeting, Livingston County United Way President Becly Best highlighted the organization’s accomplishments during the last year: ■ The creation of a Basic Needs Committee to discuss the increasing challenges facing local residents. ■ Promoting the 2-1-1 reference and referral line, which provided assistance to more than 4,000 callers. ■ Expanding the Day of Caring to fill more than 700 volunteer shifts. Best also announced the proposed executive committee to be voted on later this month: President Piet Lindhout, Vice President David Rex for. Treasurer Greg Clum, Dawn Boss for partnerships, assessments and allocations chairperson, and Jean Eckman to be publicity and education chairperson. Eckman also was named winner of the Donald Epley Lifetime Community Service Award for what Best called “her compassion and dedication to have helped make the Livingston County united Way what it is today.” Ron Beford was given the Charles W Itsell Volunteer of the Year Award. Hartland High School’s Family Career Community Leaders of America was recognized as Youth Organization of the Year while Howell High School student Stephanie Onderchanin was the Youth Volunteer of the Year.

Gooch, a heavyweight on the Pindmey Community High School wrestling team, can’t believe the liberating feeling. “That feels awesome,” the 16-year-old junior says. “Man, that feels good.” Gooch’s hair used to flow down to the middle of his back Only a worthy cause could have moved him to lose his luscious locks that hadn’t been cut in more than two years. That cause: His coach, Don Welch. Welch, who has missed much of the season after being diagnosed with a form of lung cancer, is now bald after undergoing several chemotherapy treatments. Pinckney sophomore Scott Hasseld came up with the idea for Tbesday’s shaving party, where 10 Pirates lost their hair. Welch had no idea what his Pirates were up to before he saw them at practice later that afternoon. “It’s overwhelming,” Welch said of the gesture. “The kids and parents and everybody has been there from the start. The kids have gone above and beyond to give their support.” After his shaving, Gooch held eight braids of his hair in a bag, waiting to be donated to a good cause. The Pirates also have formed an American Cancer Society Relay for Life team in honor of Welch. “I respect him a lot, love him,” Gooch said of Welch. “He’s a good mentor. Right now, we are honoring him and supporting him. He’s a tough coach but a great guy.” Welch said the diagnosis came out of the blue, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. He had surgery Dec. 12, 2007, to remove a portion of his lung. The cruel irony is the that the Pinckney wrestling program has a history of cancer troubles. In 2003, two Pirate wrestlers, Jason Gerlach and Stephanie Pollard, battled cancer, prompting community-wide support and ftmdraising efforts. Former assistant coach Doug Miller also was diagnosed with the disease. “It’s a little weird,” Pinckney senior Justin Davis said of the program’s history. “It happens to (anyone). You have to puU th ro u ^ it. You have to be positive. That is the one thing he has taught us.” While Welch was home recovering, his assistants, Scott Mills and coach Ron Rau, and middle school coach Randy Seiler handled the day-to-day operations of the program. Davis, a co-captain, said the S E E DEEGAN, 82 JASON DEEGAN. THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS ' Pinckney junior Justin Gooch, 16, shows off the eight braids cut from his head during Tuesday's shaving party, where 10 Pirate wrestiers iost their hair to honor coach Don Weich, who is undergoing chemotherapy. Weich was diagnosed w ith a form of lung cancer last November.

LON HORWEDEU THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS D is t r ic t c h a m p io n s h ip p la y o f f s s e e v a r io u s p o s t - s e a s o n fo r a y s BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Winning a district Championship next week would mean different things to different programs. For the South Lyon girls basketball team, it would be a chance to put an exclamation point on a surprisingly successful season. For Brighton, it could mean another rematch with Novi in regionals, with a chance to erase the sting of losing twice to the Wheats. Thanks to South Lyon’s dramatic overtime upset over the Wildcats 'Ihesday, Novi and Brighton are tied for first in the KVC with only one game left on the schedule. The Bulldogs, who play Lakeland tonight, are trying to clinch at least a share of their eighth straight conference title. For South Lyon East, a solid showing at the Class C fe tric ts - the first post-season appearance in school history - could lay the foundation for future success. The junior varsity program in its firet season will eventually grow into a Class A competitor. For Fowlerville, any win is welcome. The Gladiators have just one this season. For Howell first-year coach IHcia Clark it’s her first experience in the playoffs. “As a new coach, that’s a new avenue I haven’t seen,” she said. “When I was the JV coach (at Howell), you had the last game and you were done. ... You have to focus on a brand new season in post-season. You can find out anything can happen.” Here’s a look at each district: Class A at Brighton Hartland first-year coach Brian Ives was encouraged the last time his Eagles (7-12) faced Lakeland, his opponent Monday at 5:30 p.m. He praised the attitude and work ethic of his young team that has just two senior starters. “I’m real happy with how the year has gone,” he said. “I’m real glad with the work ethic. I’m real happy with team unity. I’ve really started to install the Xs and S E E BASKETBALL, 82 Getting an edge on the ice A ca tJem y n o w d raw s s om e 170 skaters e a g e r to im p ro v e skills BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News A lissa Legacy stumbles on h e r skates, but regains h e r balance on the ice a t the Kensington Valley Ice House. Legacy, 11, a fifthgrader a t Brighton’s Spencer Elementary, is working diligently with skating instructor Lauren LeBlanc on perfecting a spin during a practice session of the Ice House Skating Academy. The one-on-one time will eventually prove invaluable for a yoimg skater like Legacy. Participation in the academy is booming these days. Operating out of Kensington and its sister arena, the Hartland Sports Center, the Ice House Skating Academy has grown from 60 skaters to more than 170 skaters ages 5 and up since being formed roughly 18 months ago. Academy skating program director Val LeBlanc credits the influx of skaters and coaches from the Grand Oaks Ice Arena in Genoa Township and Lakeland 'Tri-Arena in Waterford for fueling the growth. “These are skaters that are serious,” LeBlanc says, watching over the 40 or so skaters at a re cent skating session a t Kensington. “They are testing and competing all the time.” Roughly 70 members of the academy will perform in a third annual ice show Mother’s Day weekend in May. Also, for a second straight year, the club will host skaters from other clubs and academies for an Ice Skating Institute competition in March. Back on the ice.

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Program at Ice House and Hartland Sports Center is among largest in the country BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Like little ducklings following their mama, six pee-wee ice skaters fine up behind instructor Kristen Hartigan at the Kensington Valley Ice House. Hartigan skates toward the other end of the ice, showing h e r young pupils how to swivel in their skates, back and forth, back and forth. To keep the tots, ages 3-5, on task, she draws a curvy line to follow with a marker. Their reward? Every student gets a truck to throw and kick and then skate to retrieve. “I tried to hide these, but they found them,” Hartigan said. The rink is packed with children in the learn-to-skate program, run by the Ice House Skating Academy, which operates out of Kensington and its sister arena, the Hartland Sports Center. With more than 350 participants ages 3 and up, the learn-to-skate program is one of the largest in the U.S. Figure Skating Association. Ice House Academy skating director Val LeBlanc said the success of the program draws students from as far away as Grand Blanc. “It is the core of our (advanced) program,” LeBlanc said. “It is S E E LEARNING, 82 B2 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 AY , F E B R U A R Y 15, 2 0 0 7 District draws Next week's playoff schedules for area girls basketball teams: ■ Class A at Brighton Monday: Hartland-Lakeland, 5:30 p.m. Brighton-Milford, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday: Walled Lake Western v.

BASKETBALL FRO M B1 Howell enjoys some familiarity with playoff opponents Os (of our system). It will take some time. We are headed in the right direction.” Predicted winner: Brighton. Class A at South Lyon Every time the Lions run sprints, coach Erica Thomas reminds her players to look up at the school’s championship banners. The Lions (10-9) have won three district titles but none since 1997. The combined records of South Lyon’s fii-st two opponents - FMnckney (3-14) and Ann Arbor Pioneer (2-17) - is 5-31. Should the Lions advance, favorite Ann Arbor Huron (15-3) will likely be waiting in the finals. “This is a special team to me,” Thomas said, noting the program combined for just seven wins the past three seasons. “They are a nice group of character kids. 'Ib finish above .500 would be a big thing.” Predicted winner: Huron. Class A at St. Johns Howell (9-10) has played against Okemos and stateranked East Lansing in a summer camp and scrimmaged St. Johns, so there is some familiarity with these potehtial opponents. 'The likely return of Charlie French from an ankle sprain will help Howell’s chances. “We are a little disappointed in the regular season. Hopefully that will motivate us in the post-season.” Clark said. Predicted winner: East Lansing. Class B at Lake Fenton The Gladiators, who play host Lake Fenton at 7 p.m. Monday, have been playing short-handed much of the season with just seven players. Coach Curtiss Wright has brought up several JV players to boost his bench. “They fit in well with the varsity,” Wright said. “That gives the seven (some rest). They don’t have to go all-out all the time.” Predicted winner: Williamston. Class C at Whitmore Lake South Lyon E ast’s first foray into the post-season will be an interesting matchup against host Whitmore Lake. 'The 'IYd - jans (2-16) are beatable, but East (10-5) has lost all three games against its only other varsity opponent, Clintondale, this season. Its wins have mostly come against small private schools. “We are looking good,” East coach Katherine Duncan said. “Having already played a varsity team, the girls know they can do it. 'They are setting a tone for the program, that we are out there to compete.” Predicted winner: Grass Lake. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. LEARNING FRO M B1 It's fun to see skills grow very essential. Without it, we would not have the other. It’s important that we have the best (learn-to-skate) program, "otherwise the re st of it will fall apart.” Parents fill the bleachers to watch their children tumble and fall. Little arms flail wildly as the beginners attempt to keep their balance. They grab onto anything they can find - the w ^ s , their coach, each other. It’s all part of the learning process. “It’s not real hard,” said Conrad Lovett, 8, of Brighton, “because I have roUerbladed before.” Instructor Lauren LeBlanc said the secret to successfully teaching rookies is having patience and a passion for the sport. “When your students improve, it is just as good a feeling for you as it is for them. You are the reason they got there,” she said. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. JASON DEEGAN.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Ten Pinckney Community High School wrestlers showed their support for coach Don Welch in his b attle with cancer by shaving their heads Tuesday. In the back row, from left, are Jeremy Cutsinger, Kyle Gladney, Cody Harrison, Jason Stahl and Wesley Broughton. In the front row, from left, are Justin Davis, Geoff Rhodes, Justin Gooch, Ryan Erps and Scott Hasseld. DEEGAN FROM B1 He's a coach, mentor, friend team pulled together during that time. Davis said it meant a lot to him that Welch showed up to see him get his 100th win. “We’ve come closer. We’ve worked hard,” he said of the Pirates. “It’s rough having him go through this. He’s more like a friend than a coach.” Welch, who returned to work as a detective with the youth bureau of the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department earlier this week, said he’s handling chemotherapy well. He’s been back coaching fulltime the last two weeks. His wrestlers already are pushing him to get back on the mat. The Pirates are heading toward the final weeks of their season, with individual and team districts on tap. “It’s going to take some time,” he said. The Pirates have noticed that Welch must be feeling a little better. “He’s back to yelling. That’s a good thing,” Davis said. ACADEMY FRO M B1 Name is 'getting out there' tion h e r arms and skates, Harmon makes another pass to complete a jump and spin. Hartigan nods her head in approval. Harmon, who has been skating since she was 3, says she’s been working on landing an axle for more than six months. “I like to skate with my friends and do different programs to music,” she says. Her mom. Dawn Harmon, praised the academy’s “fun environment.” “They a re always welcoming,” she says. “I’m happy to see all the friends she’s made. It is bringing in a lot of kids from different schools. They get to meet friends they wouldn’t normally m eet.” Amanda Goetz, an instructor who coaches the Hartland High School figure skating club, says the academy will only continue to grow. “We are getting more people know about us. Our name is getting out there,” Goetz says.

BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News A big math project was starting and 14-year-old Dominic Verardi woke up with a sore throat so bad he knew he was going to be spending the day in bed instead of a t school. He wasn’t worried. Dominic is one of 32 Pathfinder School eighthgraders who are piloting a program tha t’s replacing papers and textbooks with Macintosh laptop computers. “I thought, ‘Hey, I have iChat.’ I can still do this while I’m lying in bed,” he said. Math teacher Wendy Johnson focused a camera built into h e r laptop onto the lesson she was teaching. On his end, Dominic watched, gave input and asked questions through instant messaging and email. “It was ju st like being here,” Dominic said. “I didn’t even get behind.” Pinckney Community Schools paid approximately $29,000 for the computers and the training needed to use them for instruction. The hope is, if the budget will allow, to someday have laptops for all students in seventh grade through high school. “I’ve been teaching for 15 years and every year I try to improve on what I’m doing, but this is challenging me to go way out of the box and do things I’ve never done before,” Johnson said. Computers with access to updated information are predicted to replace more-expensive and often- outdated textbooks in the future, said Principal Rick Todd.

Action on assault report up to administrators, school board says Howell schools chief has his name cleared by independant inquiry and report BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News Howell Public Schools administrators now have in their hands a report that seeks to clear up communication gaps in how the district handled allegations of a student sexual assault aboard a school bus. School board President Phil Westmoreland said the board will take no formal action on the 62-page report, which was p rep a red by the Thrun Law Firm of E a st Lansing and re le a sed Feb. 13 by the district. “The recommendations a re up to administration,” he said. Westmoreland also said the bus incident rep o rt will not be discussed a t Monday’s school board meeting “unless a board member be lieves th e re is some responsibility” on the p a rt of Deputy Superintendent Lynn P a rrish or Superintendent Chuck Breiner. The rep o rt is cle a r th a t Bre ine r was never told of the May 2007 incident until September. Bre ine r was placed on administrative leave by the school board the week before the rep o rt was released. While P a rrish was aware of the incident, she maintains she did not know it involved allegations of criminal sexual a ssault, according to the report. P a rrish is the district’s acting superinten d en t while Bre ine r is on leave. Pa rrish, who was to r e tu rn today from a weeklong vacation, said before she left she would meet individually with school d istric t p e rso n nel interviewed for the r e port to determine whether it correctly reflects what they said in the interviews. “There is a question about whether all a re in a g re e ment with the information attributed to them in the re port,” she said. The law firm was asked to investigate the d istric t’s handling of the incident in which a 7-year old boy was sexually assau lted by two othe r boys, ages 9 and 10, in May of la st year. Although district buses have video cameras, the video re co rd ing on th a t bus on the date in question did not depict any unusual activity, and a c cording to the report the bus driver was unaware of what was going on a t the time. Bre ine r had been c riticized for his handling of the situation, but the report clears him of any impropriety. “It is c le a r from the nu merous interviews th a t prior to Sept. 17, 2007, the superintendent had no prior knowledge of any alleged sexual activity of any kind,” the rep o rt sta te s in its conclusions. The rep o rt is less clear on who in the d istric t’s administrative ranks knew what and when about the incident and the specific a llegations. A few questions were not answered in the report, such a s why Breiner was kept out of the loop when several o th e r adm in istra tors knew the issue - initially thought to be a case of bullying - tu rn ed out to be a criminal m a tte r involving a sexual assault. Breiner said he hopes the report will allow the community to move forward from ange r and accusations to understanding and healing. “I think, for me, this has always been an issue about th re e boys and th e ir safety and well-being,” Breiner said la st week. “It is my hope it will allow the community to move from anger and accusation to understanding and repair.” School board Vice P re s ident Je an n in e P ra tt said the rep o rt vindicates the superintendent. “All along, I didn’t believe he had any prior knowledge,” she said. A total of 12 people were interviewed during the investigation - including Breiner, Pa rrish, the principals of Southwest and Challenge r elementary schools, director of operations Mike Peterson, the tra n sp o rta tion supervisor, three school se c re ta rie s, a Howell police officer, a Livingston County Sheriff’s detective and a she riff’s deputy. The report makes a numb e r of recommendations for changes in the way “c ritical incidents” a re reported, logged and tracked to conclusion.

Incumbent Greg Kushner also has served 12 years on the Brighton school board and says he is frustrated with the state not funding schools the way they should be funded. “Can you serve on the board and oversee the decline of a school district?” asks Kushner. “There are more cuts coming but where they’re coming from I don’t know.

PHOTOS; EUYAHU GURFINKEU UVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS LAPTOPS FROMA1 Computers motivate Pinckney students fessor Jim Berry is studying the group to see whether the technology improves and enhances the lessons and the students’ interest and motivation for learning. “It’s a lot easier to be organized,” said 13-year-old Nicole Rice. “You never lose your work because it’s not on papers. It’s all saved on the computer. You can e-mail it to the teacher right when you’re done. I actually like to do my work now.” Todd, Johnson and teachers Jennifer Simpson, Jodi Tye, Lori Scott, Beth Durci and Beth Hagen also are confident the laptops are beneficial. “I have never seen kids get to class and be ready to go like this before,” said Simpson, an English teacher. “They’re ready sometimes before I’m re a ^ .” Students in the pilot class range from exceptionally bright to average to special needs. Every one, Johnson said, has been empowered by the laptops. “Those who weren’t comfortable speaking up in class can give their input or ask questions with e-mail or iChat,” Simpson said. “Those who struggle with reading can listen to a book online, which helps them keep up and improve their reading. It’s nice to see students who once struggled get excited about school.” The biggest surprise to Todd is how quickly teachers and students have adapted to using the laptops. “The other kids call us nerds, but they’re ju st mad because they don’t have the laptops,” said 14-year-old Brandon Smith. An initial worry was that students would ju st have fun with the computers. “I’ve seen no distractions at all,” said Tye, a science teacher. “They’re probably more on task than they ever have been.” Another fear was tha t the laptops would isolate students. “It’s actually bonded them,” Johnson said. “They communicate more and have really become a support system for each other.” A benefit, the teachers agree. HOWELL FRO M A1 Downtown is ahead of the curve with state's Main Street Program co rn e r of Michigan Avenue and Grand River Avenue, with his wife, Lorna Brennan. He also has the 2007 recommendations of the Michigan Main S tre e t Year End Evaluation to guide his way, making it a good time to join the staff and lead the program to national ac c reditation. “We got a 9.5 out of 10 points,” said Mindy Arnold, Main Stre e t Program manager, faulting the group’s lack of a “formal vision s ta tem e n t” in 2007. “We’re going to get it (10) this year. We expect the full vision sta tem en t to be done in a month or so.” The Michigan Main Street Program, which provides re so u rc e s to qualifying downtown a re a s working to make th e ir town a d e stin a tion place, audits partic ip a ting communities for best pra c tic e s and a re a s in need of improvement. Scores a re based on 10 indicators ran g ing from community support, historic pre se rva tion ethic, training and budgets. “It usually take s about 10 y e a rs to get a c c redited,” 'When I walk downtown, I want to feel like I'm at home. There are friendly people on the street and the area is bustling.' Nathan Voght, new Howell D D A director said Arnold, “so we’re ahead of the curve” being ju s t half a point away since joining the program in 2006. The Michigan program, one of 43 nationwide Main Stre e t Programs, is evaluated by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority each fall. According to Howell MayoT Gerri Moen, when the DDA first started more than a decade ago, the group concentrated on parking availability and coordination of the decorative elements downtown. Because they were already doing some of the things re quired as part of the Main Street Program, the group, with the help of city staff, applied for and won the Main Street designation. The designation put more requirements on city staff and DDA proponents, but supported the ultimate goal, “to make Howell a vibrant and interesting place for people to Uve,” said Moen. “Amy (Connolly, former DDA director and Howell community development director) was the impetus for” securing the Main Street designation, ensuring volunteers and staff were operating according to the guidelines, “and I have no problem thinking Nathan, with his background and working knowledge of the DDA, is going to lead us in as good a direction if not better.” Voght said he is ready for the challenges his “dream job” brings. He has identified an end result - “enhancing the health, fitness and vibrancy of downtown and the business corridors leading into the city” - and laid out a process to achieve his goal. “Business recruitment and retention are definitely part of that,” he said. He will be part of a team that reaches out to choice businesses, hoping to either relocate them to Howell, or convince them to open another shop locally. For current shop owners, a business assistance team is available to help with marketing, budgeting or general operations. “All they need to do is ask, and everything is strictly confidential,” said Voght, who realizes that keeping businesses downtown is only half the picture. The DDA, through its members and volunteers, also works to bring people to the businesses through special events and partnerships. Howell History Days and the Legend of Sleepy Howell have drawn thousands of people to the city for the last several years, resulting in heightened local sales on those days. This year, the DDA will also take over Melon Fest, making it the group’s signature ifindraising event, with proceeds to benefit the group’s on-going downtown improvement projects. On a smaller scale, the DDA has partnered with other local groups like The Opera House, the Howell Carnegie District Library and the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority for events tha t bring people downtown. Businesses within the DDA also have hosted special events, such as Aria Booksellers’ Harry Potter parties, and some businesses within the DDA have packaged their products to bring in people and money. The Howell Thea te r and Cleary’s Pub regularly offer movie and dining packages. According to Charlotte Swann, president of the Howell Main Street Program and DDA, it is important for members within the DDA to p artner for the benefit of the whole downtown. “We want to maintain a healthy town, and we have had a few retailers been just dynamic (in marketing.)” 'To learn more, visit the Web at www.downtownhowell.org.

JOHNSON FRO M A1 Library's relationship with area schools is one of her top priorities then moved to Kalamazoo to get married. She worked at a library th e re running the bookmobile and as an institutional outreach librarian to such places as jails and the state hospital. “That experience shaped me to learn about patron needs and I learned about all the people who couldn’t come to the library, like seniors,” says Johnson. While in Kalamazoo, Johnson worked in radio doing color commentary for Western Michigan University hockey games. She pursued her love of radio when she moved to Iowa where she worked a t a commercial radio station. Johnson then moved back to Michigan and went to work as a reference librarian at the Kent District Library in the Grand Rapids area. She also was an administrator for audiovisual materials. “I picked out video materials on things like woodworking and gardening, not the kind of videos you find at video stores,” says Johnson. “It brought me to new genres.” After 13 years in the field, Johnson returned to Ann Arbor to pursue h e r doctorate a t the University of Michigan. She met h e r second husband, who worked a t the Law Library. Johnson went on to teach a t Cornell University, Syracuse University, the University of Missouri, the University of Arizona and Wayne Sate University. All of h e r experience in academics has made keeping the library’s relationship with are a schools a priority for Johnson. “I want to enrich the lib ra ry ’s relationship with the Brighton Area Schools and with private schools and home schoolers,” says Johnson. “We need to make the best use of what the community has to offer and the support all the people here want to learn more about.” For Pat Boehm, Brighton elementary school media specialist, Johnson has been an inspiration. “Nancy was my faculty adviser when I was a t Wayne Sate University working on my m a ste rs degree in library science,” says Boehm. “She encouraged me to collaborate with people a t the Brighton District Library. When I found out she was hired to be director, I was so excited to have h e r here. I t’s an amazing coincidence th a t she would be back in my life and be able to collaborate with my colleagues and me. She is calming, kind and thorough and has such a good picture of how libraries work and how school libraries should function. She’s bringing the two worlds to gether.” Howell Carnegie District Library Director Kathleen Zaenger says, “Nancy is very cordial, professional, upbeat, and optimistic, and has great communication skills. She is a great addition to the library staff and brings a lot of knowledge about the whole profession and what’s happening in it.” Johnson cites recent programs a t the library such as one on traveling to China and Mongolia as being extremely popular and as evidence of the growth of information needs for people serviced by the library. “I look forward to continuing to meet members of the community,” says Johnson. “I also look forward to moving through the strategic planning process and achieving the next step in certification offered by the Library of Michigan.” Lisa Carolin can be reached at icarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010. ^Corlriilye UlorliT F r a n c h i s e s -13th fastest growing franchise -Get into business fast -Low cost investment -1,700 locations world wide FRANCHISES AVAILABLE TODAY IN Ohio Michigan Northern Kentucky CALL NOW 614-793-1790 Synopsis of the Unapproved Minutes of the Green Oak Charter Township Regular Board Meeting February 6, 2008 Green Charter Township Hall The meeting was called to order by Supervisor St. Charles in the Green Oak Charter Tovmship Hall at 7;00 pm.

Having students do work electronically also has cut down on the papers to collect and grade, they said. And students are learning programs, such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, that they’ll use long after they’re out of school, Todd said. “You can really see how much a pa rt of their life computers are and how important they are to their future,” Todd said. “Computers are what their world looks like, and they shouldn’t be left outside of school.” Getting started took extra effort because they had to change some of their perceptions about teaching, the teachers said, but the work is worth it. “You keep wondering when will the excitement wear off, and it ju st doesn’t happen,” ly e said.

For now, his days are filled with the logistics that it takes to get such a large store open, including getting fixtures ready for merchanffise displays. About eight trucks per day are arriving that must be unloaded and items tagged and shelved. Also, some 350 sales associates have been hired and more applications are being taken. Darby said, so staff training also is under way. He estimated that between 65 and 70 percent of the store’s associates hail from the Fowlerville area. Darby said the company has been pleased with the reception. “When we came to town, there was an overall open arms from the commiuiity” he said. “From what we’re hearing, the people can’t wait for the store to open. It just feels like a nice environment.” Fowlervlle Village Manager Joe Merucci said the store construction moved along quickly as planned and “has gone about as smooth as possible. They have been most agreeable to everything,” he said. Meanwhile, plans are also moving ahead for a Wal-Mart Superstore in Hartland Township on M-59 east of US-23.

Created Lost Voices puts area students' words to music BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News There’s a new activity at Renaissance Alternative High School in Howell that’s providing a creative outlet for students. Mike Ball, the founder of an organization called Lost Voices, visits the school for 90 minutes every Wednesday, along with folk musician Kitty Donohoe. “The idea is to get kids to share their stories and open up to Mike and Kitty, who set the students’ words to music,” says Kirk Evenson, principal at Renaissance. “It’s an opportunity for our students to do something different and learn more about themselves.” About a dozen students participate in the group, which sits in a circle and shares ideas. For the Renaissance students’ first song, they’ve put together lyrics that include, “I was safe and warm before, then I walked out that door. Nothing is going to be the same anymore.” Ball and Donohoe sing the lyrics and play guitar to create JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS A new activity at Renaissance Alternative High School in Howell lets students meet weekly to tell their life stories through music and poetry.

Transition from the Howell Jaycees to the Howell Main Street and Downtown Development Authority began months ago for the 49th-annual festival set for Aug. 15-17. The Jaycees have organized and overseen operations for the festival for more than 40 years, and donated proceeds of more than $250,000 to area nonprofits through the years. “This is their baby,” said Charlotte Swann, DDA president, “they want to see it continue.” Dwindling membership caused the Jaycees to step back, though they will continue to be involved as a resource for the DDA. And if the DDA were to back out in the future, rights to plan the event would revert to the Jaycees. “The Melon Festival is very important to the community and we’d like to see it continue, but we just don’t have the manpower to stage it,” said Jodi Drogmiller, Howell Jaycee and former Melon Festival chairwoman.

C h a m b e r b a l l < r a is e s f u n d s B Y T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News The Big Moola Ball, scheduled for Saturday, March 1 at the Crystal Gardens Banquet Center, is expected to be a sellout. The Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce event is being brought back to Livingston County this year. In the past, it was at larger venues such as Burton Manor in Livonia and the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi. Chamber Director of Events Sally Eastman said the annual party is “going to b e ... a smaller, more elegant event.” Chamber Executive Director Pam McConeghy said the chamber moved the event to its home county at the request of chamber members. “Members wanted the event held in Livingston County, and after a lot of thought we decided the best thing to do was to bring it back home and downsize it, and we feel very positive about it,” she says. The $100 individual ticket includes a full-course dinner, open bar and opportunity to play Las Vegas style gambling. Players have one chance in 38 to win, Eastman said. Twenty one prizes will be awarded, with a first prize being of $10,000 cash. Second and third prizes will be $5,000 and $1,000 respectively and there will be hourly 50-50 raffles. “We think it will be a great party,” McConeghy added. -VitL ■ V , U iV W ,' II s in g le ? w a n t to p la y “t k e f i e ld ”?

I’ve read the report three times. There is lots of detail about what a dozen different individuals recall about the incident and how it was handled. But I don’t see where the report addresses what, for me, is the central issue; Why didn’t anyone tell the boss? 'The report is precise on the point that no one told Superintendent Chuck Breiner about the incident. “It is clear from the numerous interviews that prior to Sept. 17,2007, the superintendent had no prior knowledge of any alleged sexual activity of any kind,’’ the report states. Attorneys also praise Breiner’s response once he learned of the allegations that a 7-year-old had been sexually assaulted on a school bus by two other boys, ages 9 and 10. But I don’t see any evidence that the attorneys asked anyone - especially the two highlevel administrators who report to the superintendent - why they did not tell Breiner. I’ve tried to put myself into the role of the people interviewed. I just cannot imagine a scenario in which I would consciously decide this was not something the boss needed to know about. If the report is accurate, it appears that by the first week of June any number of school administrators knew that there was a police investigation involving some sort of “sexual” incident on a Howell school bus. Even though the original complaint was about bullying, as early as May 31a principal was visited by a Howell police officer who was investigating an alleged criminal sexual conduct by a student. That principal immediately called her boss, the deputy superintendent. A week later, on June 6, the report says the principal was again contacted by a police official, who indicated he was investigating the incident as criminal matter. The principal again called the deputy superintendent. Later, the deputy superintendent called the principal back, telling her to classify the incident as “sexual misconduct’ for reporting purposes. At about the same time, two busing officials become aware of the investigation when police requested a school bus videotape. Suffice to say that a fleet supervisor and his boss, the district’s director of operations, were made aware of the police investigation. The director of operations reports to the superintendent. In fairness, both the deputy superintendent and the director of operations say, in the report, that they did not know police were investigating something as serious as criminal sexual conduct. Does that really matter? Those two top officials clearly know police were investigating an incident on a school bus involving three students. If I were one of1;hose two officials I cannot imagine not telling my boss about it. It falls under the “no-surprises” rule of keeping your boss informed about issues he or she might be asked about. In this case, it looks like those two officials failed their boss and the Howell school district.

Ju s t don’t make third-graders at Lakeland Elementary School do the same. “I like watching instead of doing,” said 8-year-old Victor French. “I do not want to live in a tree.” Stilt, physical education teacher Tom Carney wanted his young charges to have a real feel for the adversity Hamburg Township’s Reichenbach is going through on the CBS reality show “Survivor” (8 p.m. Thursdays). So, he put them through his own “challenges” in class. “Erik is doing something kind of special,” said Carney, who coached Reichenbach in cross country and track at Pinckney Community High School. “Hopefully they’ll watch the show and see that kids from here can go above and beyond.” Though their challenge to build a shelter involved small tarps instead of palm fronds, their floods in camp were pretend and the food they competed for was rubber chickens and cheeseburgers. Lakeland students learned the same agility and teamwork real “Survivor” castaways need to survive, Carney said. “It’s pretty hard, but it’s fun, too,” said Alfyson Abowd, 8, after carrying a tray of “food” while walking backwards on a balance beam. “It’s not as bad as the real show where if you don’t win challenges that much you don’t have any food to eat.” Like Reichenbach, Alfyson is a huge fan of “Survivor.” But even her enthusiasm doesn’t go as far as his when it comes to being on the real show. “I think Erik will probably do pretty good since he was on the running team,” she said. “He should be re ally good in the running challenges anyway.” Carney split his students into Visit us online Visit us at mlive.com/ livingstoncommunitynews and click on the "Survivor from Fleir icon to read the latest about this season's "Survivor" featuring Hamburg Township's Erik Reichenbach.

Torn Carney, P inckney physical education teacher and Pinckney Com m u n ity High School cross country and track coach “tribes” and let them work their way through each contest while he watched and occasionally threw in a surprise roadblock or two. “The idea is to let them do a little teaching, too, to make sure they’re working together,” Carney said. Alais Murillo, 8, was a little out of breath as she got ready to leave the “jungle” in the gym and head back to the “mainland” of h e r regular classroom. “You know, if you didn’t have to do them, the challenges would be fun,” she said. “Being forced to do them to survive is no fun.” Leanne Smith can be reached at Ismith @livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. Jacob scores a triumph at dog show Howell-area family's Alaskan Malamute takes'best of breed' title at Westminster BY CASEY HANS The Livingston Community News Jacob did the Howell-area Salvadore family proud a t the recent Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The 5-year-old Alaskan Malamute took “best of breed” honors at the prestigious show Feb. 12, delighting handler Kate Salvadore and the re st of her family. The Salvadores - including dad John, mom Barb and sisters Devon and Kate - have raised and bred Alaskan Malamutes and horses on their 14 acres in Marion Township for more than 30 years. “He’s a pretty cool dog,” said Kate Salvadore, 24, who has been showing dogs since she was 5 and showed for the first time this month at the New York show. “He’s laid back. You have to have a dog with a good temperament. He’s a good all-around dog - it’s ra re to find them doing that and competing in the show ring.” i Despite his new-found fame, Jacob is no pampered pooch prior to a show. Salvadore said he was out sledding with the family a week before the big event. And the show ring is nothing new for Jacob. The Salvadores take him to dozens of shows throughout the year, about every other weekend. Westminster offers no monetary rewards, but a title for future breeding purposes - and bragging rights. “In the program, he’s somewhat famous, I guess,” she added.

QB I G G B Y COFFEE T H E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N IT Y N E W S FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2008 A9 A L L A B O U T W E D D I N G S Details, planning highlight wedding day success Long and short engagements used to prepare fo r an event some say serves as a symbol BY LINDA THEIL News Special Writer Krista Elwart Grossmeyer spent the night before her April wedding in the emergency room. A combination of nerves, caffeine and very spicy food a t h e r rehe a rsa l f t dinner blew h e r tummy up like a balloon. “My system was ju s t overloaded and I couldn’t digest properly,” Grossmeyer said. “They gave me Benadryl because it’s a smooth-muscle relaxer, and I sta rted burping. At about 5:30 a.m. they released me.” What a way to s ta rt a wedding day. That experience would be enough to depress the spirits of even the most buoyant bride, but not this one. “My mom said the wedding day is a symbol of what you’re planning to do with the re s t of your life - the ^ wedding is a sa c rament,” " said the 32-year-old bride. “I was in the hospital the night before and I kept in mind this day is really ju s t a symbol for what you’re doing with the re s t of your life and if the party doesn’t go ju st as planned, it’s really not that important. And th a t ju st made it so much more fun.” Livingston County brides - th e re were almost 1,000 of th em la st y e a r - have a wide range of wedding c e remo nies and receptions. Most of those interviewed for this story spent in the range of $15,000-$30,000 for a c e re mony sh a red by around 200 people. The nationwide average cost for a wedding is pegged a t around $27,000, with ave rage costs in Livingston County more in the $30,000- $40,000 range, according to some sources. Detailed planning Krista and h e r fiance C.J. Grossmeyer, 46, had worked for more than two y ears p re paring for the big day. The Marion Township couple planned the ceremony for h e r family church, the Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, where h e r parents had been married. They rented the Tudor mansion on the grounds of Addison Oaks County Park in Leonard to entertain 250 guests. C.J. had been stockpiling wines because the county park did not provide alcohol and created the eclectic play list of music that included big band, jazz, oldies, techno and classic songs for the party. Her d re ss - a matte satin classic with a deep veeshaped, fitted bodice - was drenched in pearls and lace with a nine-foot detachable train th a t she got for a song at $1,200. “It turned out to be such a wonderful, gorgeous d re ss,” Grossmeyer said. “On your wedding day th e re ’s nothing like feeling like the most beautiful woman in the world.” Binder was key Jamie Westmoreland Rouster, 25, was another se rene bride who refused to allow the slings and arrows of planning a large June wedding ruffle h e r emotions. “I got a three-ring-binder and got plastic pages and little plastic folders and threw some sticky notes in it,” Jamie said. “I carried tha t thing with me for a year. Everywhere I went I had my notebook. I had everything in it.” She and fiance Ben Rouster, 27, who live in Howell, planned a ceremony a t the F irst United Methodist Church in Howell and a dinn e r for 180 a t Dunham Hills Golf Club in Hartland Township. They planned a served dinner to accommodate guests of advancing age, but the most challenging aspect of the planning was creating an age cut-off for younger guests. “We cut it off at 14; tha t was a good age for our situation,” the bride said. “A lot of times mothers would contact our parents and our parents told them we had to do an adult reception. There were a couple people in the wedding party who had children. We talked to them and they were OK with it and understood. I ju st let it go a t that point. We had talked about it for months so we ju s t let it go at th a t.” Her gown was love at first sight. “We got my dress at Wally’s in downtown Howell. They had ju s t gotten my dre ss in and it was a total cliche moment when I saw it and knew tha t was the one.” According to Jamie, buying h e r wedding gown was the only aspect of planning not shared by Ben. “Ben did not mind being a p a rt of things,” Jamie said. “We met each othe r and we would go on the nights when vendors were open late or we’d try to go on Saturday. I thought it was important to have Ben with me through the decision making.” Buying for 2 years Mamie Mecklenburg Hebert, 30, and Joey Hebert, who live in Hartland Township, spent two years planning th e ir December wedding together. “We’d been planning for two years, so we bought things as we went along and it didn’t seem so bad,” Marnie said. “I think, definitely, giving yourself enough time to plan helped a lot. I wasn’t very stre ssed out and th a t’s why, because I had plenty of time to plan.” Their ceremony a t h e r family church. Heritage Hills Free Methodist Church in Fenton, featured 10 a tten dants, a ring bearer, a junior bridesmaid and two flower girls. They hosted a buffet for 180 guests at Waldenwoods Resort and Conference Center in H a rtland Township on a stormy December night when even an ice storm couldn’t mar th e ir joy. They danced beautifully to the music of “It’s Your Love” by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill thanks to the eight private ballroom dancing Advice from brides ■ Begin planning 18 months in advance to avoid stress. ■ Take your invitation to the post office so you can get the correct postage. Also available is a matched set of postage for the invitation and the reply card as well as matching supplemental postage if needed. ■ Make sure your DJ knows his job as a master of ceremonies and prepares himself well in advance. No bride wants to write out lists of names for the emcee when she should be enjoying her party. ■ Number your guest list and then, in pencil in the bottom corner o f the RSVP card, write the number th a t corresponds to that guestr "We ended up getting two or three RSVP cards back that people didn't write their names on and we did not know who was coming. We could have used the number to see who responded. It was only three, but it wasn't until the very last minute that we figured out who they were." - Jamie Westmoreland Rouster ■ Make a iist o f pictures for the photographer to take. "I didn't get any pictures with me and the groomsmen or Brian with the bridesmaids, or more portrait pictures of my family - like my mom and dad. Our photographer was great; I just wish I'd had a list of some of the pictures I wish I'd had." - Marcy Willis Illingworth COURTESY, PRECiOUS MEMORIES PHOTOGRAPHY Krista Elwart Grossmeyer and C.J. Grossmeyer of Marion Township worked for more than two years preparing for their wedding day.They were married at the Royal Oak church where her parents were married and had this fun-loving wedding photo taken in front of the Birmingham Theater. classes they took in p rep a ration for the first dance of their married life together. Made the invitations Shannon Yarber Bensend, 23, and fiance Austin Bensend, 23, spent 17 months planning their October wedding while attending Michigan Technological University in Houghton. Their Waldenwoods wedding was officiated by the Rev. Brian Knight from the Bethany Baptist Church in Dollar Bay, Mich. Shannon and Austin spent the summer making the invitations for 170 dinner guests. , “One of the things we r e ally liked, because a lot of people were coming from out of town, we had our reh e a rsal in the morning and got to hang out with our friends on Friday night,” she said. “We had dinner and played WhirlyBall and had time to spend with a lot of people.” Low-key affair Susan Grimes Width, 56, and Mark Width, 56, took only six months to plan the perfect wedding. The date was a given since they share a Dec. 21 birthday. They felt very fortunate to have th e ir nuptials c e leb ra ted a t the Grand Rapids home of an old friend. Bill Hillegonds, former a s s is ta n t p a sto r of F irs t P re sb y te rian Church in Brighton. And they say they spent only about $2,000 on the event. Former Livingston County re sid en ts, the Widths now live on the Torch River in Rapid City, Mich. On the day following th e ir private wedding ceremony, they en joyed a family celebration at the Iosco Township home of Mark’s daughter and son-inlaw, J e ssic a and Will Cowan.

She works part time in the clerk’s office, where she registers voters and serves at every election. But it’s not uncommon to see her at the reception desk or filling in at the tre a su re r’s office or anywhere else she’s needed in the building. “She’s a great gal and an excellent employee,” said Linda Hartman, deputy clerk. “It doesn’t matter what you give her to do, she just dives right Cure for Catt ■ What: A benefit to help Hamburg Township's Catt Brandenburg, hosted by Hamburg Township employees. ■ When: Tuesday 6-11 p.m. ■ Where: Zukey Lake Tavern, 5011 Girard Road, Hamburg Township. ■ Why: Brandenburg, 37, a nearly seven-year township employee and mother of two, is battling breast cancer. ■ On tap: Italian buffet dinner ($5 of $9.95 price goes to the cause), karaoke, live auction and more. ■ How to help: Cat-shaped donation canisters are available at Township Hall, 10405 Merrill Road.

JACOB FROM A7 Westminster into it.” The 37-year-old Brandenburg has been absent from work since December to focus her strength on battling breast cancer. Now, her co-workers are helping but. “Cure for Catt,” a fundraiser on Tuesday fi’om 6-11 p.m. at Zukey Lake Tavern, feature a $9.95 Italian buffet dinner, $5 of which will go to Brandenburg, as well as a live auction of sports memorabilia, gift certificates, jewelry and more. Karaoke and other entertainment also are on tap. “We know the bills must seem insurmountable to her family right now,” said Noreen Zirkle, who works in the treasurer’s office. “As long as she needs it, we’ll keep trying to help.” Brandenburg, who lives in Hamburg Township with her husband.

She underwent two lumpectomies and kept her illness a secret from her co-workers until November when she learned she needed radiation treatments. “I was very sick at the beginning of them and just too tired and worn out to work,” Brandenburg said. “I finally had to say something.” When Brandenburg’s coworkers found out she had used all of her paid days off, they went to the township’s Board of Trustees with a request to donate some of their own sick days and personal and vacation time to her. The board agreed, and about 14 people fi’om the fire and police departments, as well as township hall, have given her nearly 400 more hours of paid time off. “Tb know I mean that much to them means a lot to me,” Brandenburg said. “I work with so many people who are just so wonderfiil.” Brandenburg doesn’t know her prognosis yet. The treatments have weakened her immune system, but nothing has dampened her spirit. “I’m just ready to be normal again and get back to work,” she said.

I just tried to keep focused.” The trip was exciting but stressful due to traveling in dicey winter weather and the cramped conditions at Madison Square Garden.

'Two unique grips. Two incredible bowling feats. Scott Horton and Tim Rice, two 2002 Howell High School grads, have been knocking ‘em down a t the Howell Bowl-EDrome this winter. Horton, 23, of Howell, wowed the Tuesday night Merchant’s league crowd Oct. 23, 2007, bowling back-to-back 300 games. T h a t’s 24 strikes in a row. He almost did it again Feb. 7, bowling a 300-279 combo, missing only one pin in the third frame of the third game in a series. In co n tra st. Rice, of Pinckney, has been steadily spectacular, bowling five 300 games since Sept. 28, 2007. The two bowling buddies and league p a rtn e rs have a friendly rivalry going to see who can strike out more. “We joke around a t each othe r all the time (about who’s b e tte r),” Horton said. “But we a re th e re to support each other, too. I’m the first to give him a high-five. He’s the first one th e re for me. We support each o th e r very well as teammates. We know each o th e r’s styles and how we think.

If I can keep that in control, keep the legs from getting out fi’om under me. I’m OK.” Bowling a perfect game has become more attainable the last two decades with advances in the equipment technology and BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News It’s hard to be perfect. But maybe not as hard as you think. 'Turns out, 36 bowlers have completed 300 games a t tiie foiulocal bowling centers -H a r tland’s Striking Lanes, Howell’s Bowl-E-Drome, South Lyon’s 700 Bowl and the Brighton Bowl - in U.S. Bowling Congress league play since August. To most of the bowlers interviewed, throwing the first six or seven strikes is simple. But then the knees start knocking and the brain starts locking. “You get the first six or seven (easy). All of the sudden, it’s the eighth frame,” says Mike LaRocca, 53, a South Lyon resident who bowled a 300 game at S E E PERFECT GAME, 82 South Lyon's Jeff Thompson, seen racing down Mount Brighton eariier this year, heads into state finals next week with his first championship in the siaiom at the Aipine Vaiiey Division i regionais Feb. 14. COURTESY, KELLY BAILO Friendly fraternal rivalry on slopes Lion Jeff Thompson has a state finals goal BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Jeff Thompson has more than a little motivation to perform well at the Michigan High School Athletic Association state ski &ials Monday at Nub’s Nob in northern Michigan. Thompson is coming off his first championship in the slalom at the Alpine Valley Division I regionais Feb. 14. The South Lyon senior, also third in giant slalom in regionais, has a mark to chase at the state finals. His older brother, John Thompson, had an all-state eighth-place showing in the giant slalom in 2004. Top 10 make allstate. “If he gets out there and does two good races, I think he can show his brother who is in charge,” said their father, John Thompson, who coaches the Lions. Jeff Thompson, a senior, added that it’s a friendly rivalry with his brother. “It pushes me a little bit,” he said. “I want (people) to be able to say, ‘The 'Thompson famify. ^m em b e r them?”’ A banner crop of athletes from Livingston County will be competing. Thompson led the Lions to their first regional championship in school history, with help from teammates Garrett Gelfund, Sam Mehr, Ryan Andrews and Adam Lalik. Gelfund will compete in both the slalom and giant slalom after top-10 performances at regionais, with Mehr, a freshman, in the slalom. “If they bring their ‘A’ game, they’ll be right there wiUi the rest of the teams,” John Thompson said of his Lions. “They could come out with their heads held high.” For the first time in recent memory, no Brighton boys qualified, but many of the Bulldogs will still make the trip as officii hosts of the event. Hartland’s Mike Leasia (seventh in the slalom at regionais) is the lone individual boys qualifier. On the girls side, Brighton qualified its full team for the first time in five years. Brighton’s Cate Flechsig and Claire Carpenter and South Lyon’s Christina Bailo qualified in both individual events. Pinckney senior Ashley Kitada won the giant slalom at regionais, followed closely by Flechsig (second), Brighton’s Louise Gentner (fourth). Carpenter (eighth) and Bailo (10th). In slalom, Flechsig was second at regionais, with Carpenter seventh and Bailo ninth. Flechsig said a top-five team finish would cap a successfal season under new coach Greg Normand. “We’re all just happy right now to have made it,” she said. Kitada, a senior, will make her fourth state finals appearance. Pinckney coach Steve La- Marra said a mediocre showing in the slalom at regionais prompted her best performance of her career in the giant slalom. “This gives her some momentum for the state finals,” he said. “She is going to be looking forward to it on the longer, steeper hill.” Bailo’s effort kept her on skis and out of the doctor’s office. Coach John Thompson said Bailo has a knee injury that will require surgery after the season. “She was tentative throughout the beginning of the year, but she’s done well with it,” Thompson said.

He’s still got his eye bn maximizing the potential of his players longterm. Predicted winner: Lansing Sexton. Class at Dexter A month ago, it looked like a likely Pinckney-Ann Arbor Pioneer matchup Wednesday night would have been a thriller, but with two sta rters ailing, point guard Sean McEachern with a torn ACL and all-everything Eric Braun battling back issues, Pinckney coach Tom Reason is facing reality. He admitted the Pioneers would have to play poorly, and his Pirates to near perfection, to pull an upset. But then he brought up the New York Gian ts’ improbable Super Bowl win. “You don’t need to be. the better team,” he said. “You just need to be the better team that night.” Predicted w inner: Pioneer.

Better still, Fowlerville coach Fred Hackett believes his squad is playing its best basketball of the season. He credits his four seniors for their focus n e a r the end of their careers. “A lot of times you hit a lull. It’s been the opposite for our guys,” he said. “We continue to get better. ...

The Cougars haven’t won as consistently as East coach Ben Mainka had hoped, but he said “going through the fire has been good for the kids.” “As a new school, you kind of have to grow up fast,” he said. “The kids a re staying positive and working hard. They are showing signs of maturity. This is a year of getting strong and better.” Predicted winner: Melvindale Academy. Class C at Napoleon Whitmore Lake’s mid-season change to a frantic, run-andgim style makes them unpredictable. Their first two potential opponents.

PERFECT GAME FROM Bl Players say the mental hurdles are the highest barriers the ability to make lane oil conditions more consistent. But, for the first time since the 1985-86 season, the number of 300 games nationwide dropped last season, according to statistics tracked by the USBC. From Aug. 1,2006, through July 31, 2007, USBC members bowled 51,557 perfect games in regular league and tournament play, down from 56,212. USBC spokesman Mark Miller said the organization has one theory for the decline: Elite bowlers most likely to roll 300 games are competing in more “sport bowling” tournaments, where conditions are tougher and less likely to allow a perfect score. Doug Bidinger, 54, a dental lab technician from Tyrone Township, bowled a perfect game, his fourth, a t Hartland’s Striking Lanes Oct. 15. He said technology has really helped his game. He’s improved his scoring average by 10 pins ju st in the last few years. He’s one of 17 men to land perfection at Striking Lanes this season alone. “The scores are pretty high, and we’ve got the same bowlers,” he said of his league. No matter the conditions, it’s the mental hurdles that make bowling a perfect game so difficult. “Stringing the strikes together doesn’t get me real nervous anymore, especially when I’m familiar with the guys around me,” Bidinger said. “You have to get some breaks. TWelve in a row is still difficult to do.” Linden resident Josh Grunlund, who bowled a 300 game at Howell’s Bowl-E-Drome Nov. 13, said the first time he went for a perfect game he “choked” in the last frame, settling for a 298. “I just couldn’t feel my legs when I was walking up there,” he recalled. “I yanked the ball. I might not have even hit the head pin.” After 37 years of bowling, Rennee Hall, 46, of Green Oak Township, finally got her first 300 game Sept. 23 at the 700 Bowl in South Lyon, following a 199 game. She is the only local woman to bowl a 300 this season, and ju st the second woman in the history of 700 Bowl to do it. “I’m learning how to read the lanes a little faster,” said Hall, a lunch supervisor and substitute secretary at Dolsen Elementary in South Lyon. “That night I stayed at the same spot, looked a t the same mark, tapped the rosin bag twice, checked my sliding shoe like I always do. It must have been meant to be.” Grunlund doesn’t believe 300 games define you as a bowler, much like golfers dismiss holes-in-one as partly skill but mostly luck. “I think your average proves you’re a good bowler more so than a 300,” he said. “I know a lot of bowlers who a re better than me that don’t have one. You have to have a lot of breaks.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® living5toncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. BUDDIES FROM Bi To win: 1 frame at a time and no beer ra re grip throwing the ball. Horton and Rice both cut two finger holes n e a r the ball’s c en te r of gravity and the thumb hole n e a r the pin (the dot on the ball). T h a t’s opposite most bowling balls. Their shots re a c t by rolling with the lane ’s oil p a tte rn s between the two fing e r holes and the thumb hole, a p a tte rn dramatically different from most bowlers. Hortog cups his ball more than Rice, keeping his wrist stable, while Rice snaps his wrist more on the toss. “We a re almost like twins when it con>es to bowling, ” Horton said. It obviou^y works. Back to back For the second time th a t night la st October, all eyes in the Howell Bowl- E-Drome were on Horton. Jo sh Grunlund, a Tuesday night league bowler, r e members a su rre a l scene. “It always gets re a l quiet when people get close (to 300),” he said. “It was weird when it happened twice.” Horton, who works parttime a t the Bowl-E-Drome, couldn’t help but feel the pressure. “When people s ta r t to notice, ne rve s kick in,” he recalled. “Then it hit me, back-to-back 300s. It hit me on the la st ball.” He still converted. “All of a sudden people a re mauling all over me. They were giving me h andshakes and high fives and hugs,” he said. His next game s ta rted with ju s t eight pins falling. “Everybody’s saying, ‘You quitter,”’ he said with a laugh. “’What? T\venty-four in a row a ren ’t good enough for you?”’ The subsequent 226 in the third game added up to an 826 se rie s, his first se rie s above th a t coveted 800 mark. His n e a r back-toback 300s Feb. 7 scored an 815 series. Mark Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. Bowling Cong re ss, said th e re a re only 50 to 60 back-to-back p e rfect games nationally every year. “It’s p re tty r a re ,” he said. Horton can’t explain how he found the zone. “I felt comfortable throwing the ball,” he said. “Everything fell into place. Some days, you feel you can’t throw a t all. Some days, it comes natural. It wasn’t ... spectacular. It was ju st me being there for the team.” On a roll Rice, 24, who has bowling since he was 3, admits this hot streak is the best of his life. He has eight career 300 games. Ironically, he said he never sta rts out a game shooting for perfection. “You try and go out and make the best shot you can each shot,” he said. Rice, who works at the Wal- Mart store in Genoa Township, has seen his average steadily rise from 216 in 2006 to 226 last year to around 230 this year. He credits confidence for allowing him to stay consistent in the late frames when most bowlers get jumpy. “Once you get that string going, seven or eight strikes in a row. I’ve got a little more confidence. I can keep it going,” he said. “Most people, if they don’t have that many (perfect games), they sta rt thinking about it too much. It is still all about one (frame) at a time.” Despite the common link between bowling and beer, neither man drinks when he bowls. The sport’s too serious for that, they say. Friends tease them that they’re obsessed with the game. Both Horton and Rice plan to bowl more this year in the Michigan Majors Bowling Association, a traveling circuit that a ttra c ts the sta te ’s top adult bowlers. They’ve already had some success on tour, with Rice coming in fourth and Horton eighth at the Candelite Bowl in Bridgeport last October. “That’s th e next stage (of our development), to get out th e re in some bigger to urnaments,” Horton said.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2 0 0 8 www.mlive.com/livingstoncommunitynews Salt demand high, supply low U n u s u a l l y s n o w y w i n t e r c r e a t e s s h o r t a g e f o r r o a d c o m m i s s i o n c r e w s BY TOM TOLEN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity News You can take it with a grain of salt, but it’s undeniable some Livingston County roads are less than ideal for driving this winter. Part of the reason is a shortage of road salt. Livingston County Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine said salt mines under Detroit and in southwestern Ontario, which supply the region’s road salt, are scurrying to keep up with demand, leaving many local governments in short supply. In October, the road commission - which also supplies salt to the Howell Public Schools and several other governmental units in the county - filled its bam with what should have been enough salt to last half the winter, when Craine planned to buy more. But, after major storms in early January, the supply was nearly depleted. In a normal winter, 16,000 tons of salt would be used in Livingston County. This winter, so far, the Road Conunission has used 20,000 tons. “We have salt for one more storm,” Craine said. Although Craine long ago ordered more, the road commission remains on a waiting list for delivery. “Everybody’s backed up (witii orders),” Craine said, 'll) make it last longer, he is now having his crew “cut the salt with sand,” Craine said. The problem is the county has had about 75 inches of snow this winter, 30 inches more than a normal winter, and it’s another three weeks before spring arrives March 20. Salt mine production for the winter season is predicated on long-range forecasts, and using that data, road commissions underestimated their need in What do you think?

Pour of the school’s own - two staff members and two students - actually get to celebrate their real birthdays. Assistant Principal Janet Mc- Dole, physical education teacher Jeff Carlson and sbrth-graders Juan Montalvo and MacKenzie Becker are “leaplings,” “leapies” or “leapers,” names given to those bom on Feb. 29, the leap day that causes leap years like this year. They join about 200,000 U.S. leap day babies who every four years don’t have to pick between Feb. 28 and March 1 to celebrate the anniversary of their birth. “It is nice to have a birthday when you actually have a birthday,” McDole said. They’re legally 36 today, but McDole and Carlson, typical of leaplings, like to tell everyone they’re 9, the actual number of Feb. 29 birthdays they’ve had. Juan and MacKenzie are 3, even though they’re technically 12. Leap day has caused consternation and confusion for centuries and still accoimts for a few technical glitches. It really just helps the calendar catch up because it takes about she hours more than 365 days for the Earth to revolve around the sun each year. McDole and Carlson’s advice to their younger counterparts? Leaplings should take advantage of having a Feb. 29 birthday when it happens and have a good sense of humor about it the rest of the time. “When I was in college and it Kyle Davidson, a Spencer Elementary second-grader, has his second birthday Feb. 29. His parent's take him to Florida each leap year to celebrate. wasn’t leap year. I’d go to Denny’s on Feb. 28 for my fi^e birthday meal and then go back again for another free birthday meal on March 1,” Carlson said. “It worked as long as I got a different waitress.” Juan is catching on. “When I do something that gets me in trouble I say, ‘Hey, I’m just 3. You can’t expect me to remember stuff like that,”’ he said. “It’s a great excuse.” McDole is making the most of her special day today with a surprise party she found out about last week. Juan is going go-karting with friends and MacKenzie is taking a trip with her family to New York City. Carlson is spending a quiet night at home with his family, including his nearly 6-year-old daughter, Kallia, who’s finally catching on to why S E E LEAP YEAR, A 4 Students Juan Montalvo and MacKenzie Becker, rear, teacher Jeff Carlson and Assistant Principal Janet McDole will all share in the Feb. 29 birthday celebration at Pinckney's Navigator School.

Special needs students make up the cast of the movie BY LEANNE SMITH The L iv in gs to n C om m u n ity N ews The Oscars may have been handed out earlier this week, but some young actors in Howell are just getting started on their own dream movie. A premiere, complete with a red carpet for the stars and a big screen for the viewing, is being planned for later this spring for “Sleeperzzzzz,” the latest production of special education teacher Catherine “Cat” Kelly and her Howell Hollywood Kids from 'Three Fires Middle School. The “Kids” are a blend of Livingston Educational Service Agency and Howell Public Schools special needs students who are teaching others that they are as smart, creative and excited to be involved in an extracurricular activity as their regular education peers. “People too often see the disability before they see the kid,” Kelly said. “These kids are fun and talented and they show it.” Acting in movies, such as “Sleeperzzzzz,” is a perfect way for them to s to e , said Kelly, who brought the award-winning concept with her from New Jersey two years ago when she joined LESA. “It helped my students in so many ways, including their self-esteem and paving the way to make new friends,” she said. “Sleeperzzzzz” is about a teacher who is so boring he puts his students to sleep and the dreams the students have while sleeping. Because their heads touch as they doze, Hannah Ockert, 14, and Courtney Huff, 11, share one dream - a glorious and humorous trip to a spa.

IN BRIEF Fees waived fo r Brighton clinic The Brighton City Council has approved waiving all fees connected with a planned low-cost dental clinic. Meeting Feb. 21, council approved waiving such fees as the building permit, connection fee and inspection fee for the VINA - Vision, Integrity, Need, Action - Community Dental Clinic. The facility will use existing space at First Methodist Church, 400 E. Grand River Ave. Some 25 Brighton area dentists have offered to volunteer their services for the clinic. Fee waivers will save the group about $8,000 in startup costs. “It is a wonderful opportunity for the city to put a compassionate face on city government,” said Council Member Jim Bohn. Mayor Pro Tern Ricci Bandkau and Council Member Jim Muzzin voted no on the re quest. Bandkau said she was concerned “about setting a precedent for future nonprofits.

Demolition complicated County quotes $7,489 to Pinckney for permit fee to remove Patterson Lake Products factory BY LEANNE SMITH The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity News Village officials are beginning to wonder if they’ll ever be able to rid Pinckney of a long-standing eyesore. Their most recent setback in tearing down the vacant and disintegrating Patterson Lake Products factory is a fee from the Livingston County Building Department that some call “an $8,000 bombshell.” The fee - actually $7,489 - is for a demolition permit needed to bring down the building at Patterson Lake Road and South Howell Street. County building officials say they followed proper procedure in determining the cost. Village officials say they’d just like to know what that procedure is. “This has been confusing from the start,” said Village President Rebecca Foster. “We’ve received no list from the county telling us what it needs from us to issue the permit. Now we have this fee and we don’t know how they came up with it or what’s included in it.” The village doesn’t dispute the need for a permit, nor does it dispute that it should be charged for it, Foster said. Officials just want more details, she said, adding that Pinckney is appealing this fee to the Livingston County Board of Commissioners. County Building Official Bob Kobylas declined to comment, but did supply a copy of his written response to a letter the village sent to District 6 County Commissioner Steve Williams, who represents Pinckney. The letter says the fee is based on a 5-cents-per-square-foot charge for 147,489 square feet of commercial buildings being demolished. The calculation, Kobylas’ letter said, is the same one used by the state when c-omputing demolition fees for commercial properties and includes plan review and departmental administration fees. Foster questions why Livingston County uses this calculation when a survey of neighboring counties and municipalities produced demolition permit fees from $100 to $3,600 for commercial buildings. Village officials also said they fear the county is basing its permit cost on a functioning commercial building in a developed area. Rurally located Patterson Lake Products has been vacant and without utilities since 1990. Howell’s Regal Recycling Inc. has received a village contract for demolition and disposal, and asbestos has been removed from the buildings. The state Department of Environmental Quality also has given its go-ahead on demolition, although it does need an updated letter of intent of demolition from the village, Foster said. The village acquired the former heat-treating facility and automotive manufacturing site for back taxes in the late 1990s. “We’ve been struggling to convert the Patterson Lake Products site into something of value to the community for quite some time,” Fbster said in the village’s letter to Williams. “Our goal... is to simply demolish buildings that have been an eyesore and structural hazard - not to mention a haven for vandalism and other nuisance activities - for years.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ IMngstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. Lowry gets $8.5 million global contract BY TOM TOLEN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity News Green Oak Township-based Lowry Computer Products has been awarded a five-year, $8.5 million contract to install 2,000 radio frequency identification bar code label printers at all Defense Logistics Agency warehouses around the globe. Under terms of the contract, Lowry will supply the DLA’s Defense Distribution Center with RFID tag and label printers for all sites in the U.S. and abroad. The DLA is a U.S. Department of Defense combat support agency whose primary role is to provide supplies and P in c k n e y t o c o n s id e r s c h o o l c lo s u re BY LEANNE SMITH The L iv in gs ton C om m u n ity N ews A decision on which building Pinckney Community Schools may close next year to help offset an impending $1.9 million budget deficit could be less than a week away. Whether it’s Hamburg Elementary School, Navigator School or possibly another, an item calling for a decision on the closing of one Pinckney school is scheduled to appear on the Board of Education meeting agenda March 6. The board meets at 7 p.m. in the Pathfinder School media center, 2100 E. M-36. Inste ad of making a re c ommendation on which school should close. Superintendent Dan Danosky p re sented the board with a fact sh e e t on Feb. 21 about the district, its employees and buildings and the pros and cons of closing both Hamburg E lementary and Navigator to help board membe rs with th e ir decision. “We’re not unlike any company th a t’s under capacity and needs to right size,” he said. The Pinckney district has lost about 330 students in the last four years due in part to the sta te ’s floundering economy, school officials said. A drop of another 100 students is being anticipated for 2008-09. With 210 kindergarten through fourth-grade stu dents, Hamburg Elementary is the smallest school in the district. Navigator has 750 fifth- and sixth-graders. While this decision is being made early, the board still must decide on a host of other cuts that include the potential privatizing of custodians and consolidating bus runs, before it adopts in 2008-09 budget by July 1. services to American military forces. Lowry was the only company selected to provide the printers. The DLA operates warehouses which stockpile 4 million items for shipment to U.S. forces - everything from military hardware and flight instruments to food, clothing and medicine. The company will install the printers to ensure that no items are shipped out without the proper labels on them. “If there are no labels on, the DLA will use our printers to put the labels on to re-pack and ship out,” said Lowry Executive Vice President Steve Lowry. All defense suppliers are required to put the labels on all shipments, Lowry said. “It validates that the military is using our printers to comply with military requirements, and we’d like to assist the defense supply industry in helping them meet their RFID requirements,” he said. Lowry said the contract represents the largest single RFID order in the industry. “It illustrates the progress the Department of Defense has made in the adoption and implementation of RFID technology,” he said.

As one of 24 semifinalists in the competition produced by the Comic Opera Guild of Ann Arbor, Finnamore will compete during the day hoping to be named one of six finalists who will perform at 8 p.m. for the public. At the end of the evening five judges will award $4,000 in prizes to the competition victors and the audience will choose a favorite performer. Finnamore recently moved to Howell from her base in Washington, where she travels the Eastern Seaboard, auditioning and singing oratorio and opera. She recently sang with Bel Cantanti in Washington, the Music from Mapleview chamber music festival in Silver Spring, Md., and the York County Choral society in Rock Hill, S.C. She achieved her goal of becoming the bad and mad Lucia when she sang the title role in Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor” last spring at Center Stage Opera in Harrisburg, Pa. To expand her options for employment as a young artist, Finnamore has established Michigan as her Midwestern base. She freelances here as a piano accompanist and voice coach and is working in that capacity for the Young People’s Theater in Ann Arbor on its April production of Frank Wildhom and Steve Cuden’s “Jelg^U and Hyde.” The peripatetic life of a young artist seeking self-expression suits Finnamore. The ^ u g h te r of international educators, she was born in Papua New Guinea, raised in French West Africa and spent her youth traveling throughout Africa and Europe. She graduated with a degree in vocal performance from the University of South Carolina in 2003 and has been seeking her place in the world of the magnificent voice ever since. COURTESY, JILLIAN FINNAMORE Jillian Finnamore, 28, will sing the queen's revenge aria from Mozart's "Magic Flute" at the Harold Haugh Light Opera Vocal Competition on Saturday at Pinckney Community High School. As one of 24 semifinalists in the competition, Finnamore will compete during the day hoping to be named one of six finalists who will perform at 8 p.m. for the public. “Jillian definitely has a strong, polished voice,” says competition chairman and Brighton dentist Brad Rondeau. The Comic Opera Guild of Ann Arbor created the Harold Haugh Light Opera Vocal Competition in 2000 expressly for young singers, like Finnamore, who are not represented by professional management, in order to give them a showcase and taancial incentive. Rondeau explains. Rondeau donated funds to support the competition in concert with major sponsors Sam Daniels, Erich Dittmar, Gordi Niles, Fredrick Bonine and others in the Brighton dental community, along with the Livingston Art Council and HubTV A team of vocal artists who have all sung for New York’s Metropolitan Opera will judge the competition; Shirley Verrett and George Shirley of the University of Michigan, Rick Fracker of Michigan State University and Jeffrey Stamm of Wayne State University.

Because Craig wanted to introduce her singers to the light opera repertoire, the concert choir will sing Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Three Little Maids” from ‘"The Mikado” and the varsity choir will sing the finale from “The Gondoliers.” “Each student will observe three singers and will write a paper on their observations,” Craig said. “I want them to get a chance to see professionally trained singers, glean their technique - how they produce their sound - and observe the competition.” Several of Craig’s students recently competed in the district solo and ensemble competition held by the Michigan School Vocal Music Association. Five of those students will compete at the state level in April. “I talked to the entire class about preparation, and here is this really great chance for them to get to see it at the next level,” Craig said. “The community is really IucIqf to have this opportunity.” = iH i; i. lV ! . \ { ; .

The couple is I looking for more space, so plag to sell their condo to buy a house. Home sellers adjusting to today's 'new normal' ^ E A L e s t a t e Livingston County real estate & BUILDING 2006 2007 % change r BY CASEY HANS The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity News Mike and Amanda Prince have a plan. They think it’s a good one. Despite a housing market with a larger-than-ever inventory and stagnant or slipping sale prices, the South Lyon couple hopes to sell their condo, rent an apartment for a year while they save money, and then get a better-than-average deal on a new house. The couple, both in their mid-20s, got married last faU and now have Sam, an Australian shepherd, and “some more space would be nice,” Mike Prince said. He was renting a condo with a roommate in South Lyon in 2005 when the property went up for sale. “It seemed like a good idea at the time to buy it,” he said. “Given what’s happened in the market, I would have waited.” Prince bought his condo in 2005 for $119,900 and it is listed now for $115,000 - so he gained no equity. But they still want to move. So on the advice of Karen Jolley of Buckley Jolley Real Estate Team in Brighton, the couple decided to sell the condo and wait to buy a house. Prince said he is hopeful they will still get a good deal on a house in the $300,000 range when the time is right. “It’s tough. We have it listed at a slightly lower than purchased price,” he said. “You take the sting now. The nice thing is there’s no sense of urgency. It allows us to take our time and not fight the market,” Honnes sold: 1,944 1,742 -10.4 Average sale price: $242,043 $219,566 -10.2 Median sale price: $215,667 $197,195 -8.6 Avg. days on market: 140.7 149.3 +6.1 Most active price range for calendar year 2007: $200,000-$250,000 Source: RealComp II he added. They hope to stay in South Lyon - a central spot for them as he works as a mechanical engineer for the Environmental Protection Agency in Ann Arbor; she is a teacher at Redford Thurston High School. Realtors say the Princes are in a good position. Although they \^1 get less for their current property, they will see an exceptional deal on the “moveup” house when they do buy. Although the housing market in Livingston County has followed the national trend with many more homes on the market - homes here are still selling. Some 1,742 houses were sold in the county last year compared with almost 1,944 in 2006, according to Real Comp II, the agency that tracks the housing market here. “I wouldn’t say the ma rket has tu rn ed around, but th e re a re buyers out th e re ,” said Michelle Brant, executive vice pre sid en t for the Livingston County Association of R ealtors. “I t’s a good market for those who a re moving up and want to stay in th e ir house for a couple of y e a rs.” The average sale price in Livingston dropped 10 percent fiDm 2006 to 2007 firom $242,043 to $219,566 - but is still higher than nearby Oakland and Wayne counties, where average sale prices have dropped to $210,149 and $105,635 respectively, according to information from Brant. Jane Pendleton of Century 21 Brighton Towne Co., president of the LCAR, said it has taken a few years for homeowners to understand the market adjustments and to accept listing prices that will sell. But, she said, they now have. “The biggest change,” she said. “Is that sellers are on board. What we need to do is remind people that there are still good deals out there, and to regain confidence in the market. There will always be people who need to make a move - and there are opportunities out there.” Todd Buckley of the Buckley Jolley Real Estate Team in Brighton contends that the market is a matter of perspective. “You could argue this is the best time to buy a house in Livingston County,” said Buckley, who has been in the business 11 years. “Values are unbelievable, interest rates are good.” He said property owners are coming to terms with what the market will bear. “This is today’s new normal,” he added. “Unfortunately, we can’t look at the values three years ago - in moving forward, we have to think differently.” Casey Hans can be reached at chans@livingstoncommunitynews .com or at810-844-2005.

From News reports Board OKs another plan for high schools Group seeks to counter negatives BY TOM TOLEN The L iv in g s t o a C om m u n it y News Positive People for Howell P\iblic Schools has come a long way in a short time. The grass-roots group was organized a year ago to counter negative publicity arising from controversies affecting the school district and to promote a positive image. A new Web site for the group (www.positivepeopleforhps. com) went up in January featuring: ■ Teachers and Classroom Points of Pride,” which touts efforts such as the Challenger Elementary School disability awareness program. ■ “Celebrate Your School,” which celebrates a different Howell school each week. ■ “Did You Know,” with information on programs and activities. Also included are Howell Board of Education meeting dates and times plus board members’ e-mail addresses and an events calendar. Co-president Carolyn Arking said the 12- to 15-member group “has a mission to make a positive difference in our school district through example, as well as helping others become a more active part of the district. We like to be an example to people on how to express their concerns in a positive way and foster a spirit of cooperation, rather than attacking,” Arking said. Kim Witt, the other co-president, said the group was formed to bring a sense of pride about the schools. “We’re trying to celebrate things our schools have done that might not see any headlines or be getting attention,” she said. Howell Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum Jeanne Farina praised the organization’s work in fostering an improved public image. “I think they are a great benefit in promoting the good things that are going on in our schools and around our school district,” Faiina said. “I think they’ve done an incredible job already and have had an impact,” added Howell Board of Education Vice President Jeannine Pratt. While Howell is not the only district where negative things happen, Witt said it seems to get more than its share of bad publicity, and she said it’s beginning to affect students. She said Positive People will not bury its head in the sand, but feels a balance needs to be struck. “We don’t want to ignore the negative things, but we can’t be out there throwing knives all the time,” she said. In addtion to heading Positive People, Arking and Witt are also involved in the statewide Citizens for Equity in Blinding. (www.citizensforequity.org) working toward equitable funding for school districts. Arking accompanied Associate Superintendent for Business Rick 'Terres this week at a meeting he organized with State Rep. Chris Ward, R-Genoa 'Township, on the school funding inequity issue. Howell is in a group at the bottom of the list in per-pupil state aid. At $7,204 per student, it compares unfavorably with districts at the top that have more than $12,000 in funding behind each student.

M-36 • Hamburg (810) 23 M 033 New option has Parker housing only freshman during 2008-09 school year BY TOM TOLEN The A n n A rb o r News Ju st two weeks after the Howell Board of Education decided how to distribute high school students between two buildings for the coming school year, truste e s have changed their minds. Under a new plan approved Monday, all of the district’s sophomores, juniors and seniors will attend the renovated Howell High School and all freshmen will attend classes a t Parker High School, the new $72 million school that opened last fall in Marion Township. 'Trustees said they made the decision to save money. The change came on a 4-2 vote. Voting yes on the measure were Ed Literski, Kim Shumaker, Wendy Day and Dan Fondriest. Voting no were President Phil Westmoreland and Michael Yenshaw. Jeannine P ra tt was absent. “We ju st can’t afford (option two),” Literski said, citing declining enrollment and budgetary problems. Some board members said the numbers ju st didn’t work with that option, the selection made at the Feb. 11 meeting. The decision would have placed all juniors and seniors, plus freshmen and sophomores who live on the north side of the district, a t Howell High School. Freshmen and sophomores living on the south side of the district would have gone to Parker High School. The plan’s cost was pegged a t $790,000 in the first year, the second-highest price tag among the seven options at that time. Although there were no solid cost estimates discussed at the meeting, officials said the new plan will cost less than $790,000, even with the purchase of an additional eight to 10 new buses needed to make it work. “I’m pleased with what they did, and it buys them some time so tha t when the time comes, they can implement the plan (to have two complete high schools),” said parent Je an Root of Marion 'Township. Mso briefly discussed was using the Freshman Campus building, which otherwise would be closed next fall, as a districtwide early childhood center. Westmoreland, on the short end of the vote this time, said Board members cited dismal February enrollment counts as part of the reason for ... a new option. Preliminary figures show the Howell Public Schools' midterm enrollment at 8,420, a drop of 111 students from September. he doesn’t like the option chosen because it will result in long bus rides and will isolate freshmen. “I am unhappy with this one because of the impact on freshmen, and it doesn’t put us on our goal (of having two complete high schools),” Westmoreland said after the meeting. Like the one rejected, the new plan approved Monday calls for eventually having two full high schools with four grades each, although when that happens will depend on whether enrollment, which dropped in the district the last year, will stabilize and start inching upward again. Board members cited dismal February enrollment counts as part of the reason for their desire to seek a new option. Preliminary figures show the Howell Public Schools’ mid-term enrollment at 8,420, a drop of 111 students from September. Another reason board members like the new plan is tha t the current crop of sophomores, juniors and seniors - totaling 1,850 - would fit perfectly in the renovated Howell High School, which was designed for precisely that number of students. Parker was built to accommodate 1,350 students, and with all three upper grades attending there during the current school year, it is jammed with 1,850 students, 500 over its design capacity. With about 650 freshmen going to Parker next fall, it will change from being overutilized to underutilized, with one wing likely closed to save on overhead costs.

A first birthday Marion Elizabeth Case will celebrate her first official birthday Friday. The 4-year-old who lives with her parents, Christine and Mark Case, in Oceola Township, hasn’t been cheated out of birthday celebrations, however. Her mom says there are so many family birthdays in a stretch of February and March that it’s hard to keep track of just who’s birthday it is anyway. Marion’s 9-year-old twin brothers have their birthdays just a week after her. Christine Case says the family hasn’t decided how to celebrate Marion’s first Feb. 29 birthday, but there will be a celebration. Mom also clearly recalls that she did not want to give birth on Feb. 29, but her daughter had other ideas. Mom does recall that having a leapday baby generated extra attention linm the nursing staff. Going to Disneyworld T\vo second-graders at Brighton’s Spencer Elementary School will celebrate their “second” birthdays. Kyle Davidson will celebrate his real birthday at Disneyworld. “I get to go to Disneyworld because my birthday only happens once every four years,” says Kyle, who also celebrated his first (fourth) birthday in the land of Mickey and Minnie. “It feels kind of IucIq^ to have a Feb. 29 birthday,” he says. “But it’s kind of hard, too. Sometimes I wish I just had a normal birthday like everyone else.” One of the drawbacks of having a leap-year birthday, says Kyle’s mom. Shelly Davidson, is when recognition of birthdays come up every month, like in their church newsletter, and Kyle’s doesn’t surface. “We do have fun with it though. It’s a running joke when people ask how old he is, and he says that he’s going to be 2.”Fellow Spencer student Sean Keiffer’s family typically celebrates his birthday March 1 because he was bom closer to that day than Feb. 28. “Sean was born in 2000 so this year he’ll be 2,” says his mom, Maryjo Keiffer. “Sean is one of seven children so he’s part of a very busy household. He’s excited about having his birthday this year, and our family will celebrate it together.” Time to drive Brighton High School sophomore Steven DeLaurence vidll be celebrating his fourth birthday Feb. 29 with the goal of getting a driver’s license. “People make a huge deal about having a leap year birthday,” says DeLaurence. “Sometimes it gets annoying, but it’s also kind of cool at times.” DeLaurence plans to enjoy his birthday by going out for dinner and to a Michigan hockey game and then taking his driver’s license test Saturday. He was bom 16 years ago at 11:17 p.m. just under the wire to qualify as a leap year baby. How will he spend his next birthday in the year 2012 when he’ll be 20? “I probably will be at a university but I’m not sure where that be or what I’ll be studying.” Floating birthday Jamie Ja rre ll was supposed to be born March 2, 1988. Her mom, Lisa Jarrell, was scheduled for a Caesarean delivery on tha t date. J a mie couldn’t wait. “That fits with h e r personality - feisty,” Lisa Ja rre ll explains. This is Jam ie ’s first year a t Baker College in Auburn Hills. For her fifth birthday (age 20), she plans to get together with some high school friends and h e r new friends a t college tonight. Saturday, her family will bring a special dinner and d e sse rt to celebrate. Jamie Ja rre ll says being a leap-year baby has always worked for h e r because her invisible birthdays tended to sprawl all over the calendar. “I stretch it out for a week,” she says. “I celebrate it quite a few days. I tell my parents I don’t have a real birthday so we have to have it right now.” Her mom concurs. “Because she doesn’t have a real birthday every year, her birthdays tend to be a week or two long.” News special writer Linda Theil and Managing Editor Rick Fitzgerald contributed to this story. S A L T FRO M A1 Even hardware store struggles to keep up with demand preparing their orders for the 2007-08 winter. Craine said heavily traveled roads such as Grand River Avenue get top priority for plowing and salting. Local subdivision streets are at the bottom and county gravel roads are plowed but not salted, because it percolates into the soil underneath and undermines the gravel base by creating holes. Compounding the problem is the nature of salt, which won’t work below 18-20 degrees Fahrenheit, and the many cold nights have seen temperatures dip into the single digits. Craine said his trucks have a liquid chloride that is mbced with the salt which “makes it effective down to 15 degrees, and then we switch to sand with salt,” he said. Residents such as Julie Blankenship of Brighton Township, who are aware through news reports of the salt shortage, understand the problem, but that doesn’t help the situation. “The roads into our subdivision don’t seem to be plowed thoroughly, probably because of the (lack of) salt,” said Blankenship. Craine said the county will spend about $200,000 more than average, or about $600,000, on road salt this year. For residential users and independent contractors looking for rock salt, owner Chuck Chapman and his staff at Howell iVue Value Hardware, 1076 S. Michigan Ave. (Pinckney Road,) have various size bags in stock, with more inventory on the way. Salt and calcium chloride deliveries are made two or three times each week. “It’s been a bit of a challenge,” Chapman admits, “but we’ve been able to keep ourselves in salt all winter by purchasing from different suppliers.” Area school districts that have buses traveling the county’s back roads, are not having a bad season, despite the exceptional wintiy weather. In the Hartland Consolidated Schools, where only 10 percent of the roads are paved. Director of Operations George Waldrup said there has been a bit more ice, but only one minor accident. “The temperature swings cause us quite a problem,” he added, noting that there have been more trees down this year. “ Safety’s always our main concern,” he added. “We tell them keep it slow and take their time.” In Howell Public Schools, Operations Manager Mike Peterson said the district has had a higher-than-usual number of snow days, but no more ice than usual. “We’ve had a couple of icy days where ice crowns in the center of the roads, but that’s pretty common in this part of the state.” News staff reporters Laurie Humphrey and Casey Hans contributed to this story.

S y rin g e s fo u n d n e a r s c h o o l p la y g ro u n d in H a m b u rg B Y L E A N N E SM IT H The Livingston Community News Hamburg Township police are trying to figure out how used medical syringes ended up near a local school playground. The syringes were found recently at Lakeland Elementary School, 9501 Pettys Drive. Police aren’t sure if they were used for illicit drug use, but they are concerned that medical waste was found near where children play, said Police Chief Steve Luciano. “We don’t know how or why they ended up there, but any medical waste can be dangerous,” Luciano said. “We’re obviously working with school officials to answer these questions.” Letters notifying parents of the discovery and what’s being done to find out how the syringes got on school property were sent home with Lakeland students Feb. 22, said Pinckney Community Schools Superintendent Dan Danosly. School officials and police are asking staff, parents and neighbors of the school, which is in a relatively isolated area around Zukey Lake, to keep an eye on the area. “We have extra police patrols, but we hope people will be extra vigilant in noticing anything that might look suspicious,” Danosly said. Those who observe anything that seems suspicious around the school property are asked to call Police Sgt. Gary Harpe at 810-231-9391.

The girls get massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and hairstyles, some of which are wonderful and some of which are startling. “It’s nice that they can experience something like this,” said Monica O’Connell, a Reflection’s nail technician, who, with hair stylist Rachel Beaudin, was in the film. “They a re having the time of their lives.” In other dreams, a boy zooms around downtown Howell in a wheelchair and becomes the fancy of all the girls, and some students get snowed in at school with a boy who is a werewolf. The final dream focuses on “The Ghost of Three Fires,” who once was a student who never did his homework and loved to play practical jokes. “I love staying after school because I love Miss Cat,” said Hannah, after filming was complete and she darted off with the re st of the cast for post-filming ice-cream at Big Boy.While the “Kids” have been making movies here for two years, “Sleeperzzzzz” is the first one to have a big opening night. “I think the parents get as much out of this as the kids,” Kelly said. “They get to see their kids in the limelight.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. L E T T E R USDA fails to protect meat-eaters The recent recall of 143 million pounds of beef by the U.S. Department of Agriculture should provide a loud and clear wakeup call that federal inspection is not adequate to ensure a safe meat supply. This largest meat recall in U.S. history was actually brought on by an animal rights organization’s undercover video showing California slaughterhouse workers using kicks, electric shock, high-pressure water hoses and a forklift to force sick or injured animals onto the kill floor. USDA regulations prohibit sick animals finm entering the food supply. About 37 million pounds of the recalled meat went to school lunch and other federal nutrition programs since October 2006, and “almost all of it is likely to have been consumed,” according to a USDA official. P a ren ts must insist tha t USDA stop using the National School Lunch P ro gram as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. The re s t of us must learn to tre a t all meat, and particularly ground beef, as a hazardous substanc e to be consumed at one’s own peril.

There are plenty of interesting stories about the farm tha t has stood on the site - as nearly as family members can recall and the historical record confirms - since the early 1850s, and Herbst is likely to relate some if you have a few minutes. He’ll also tell you about the slow demise of this once proud farmstead, a piecemeal dismemberment that, in microcosm, closely parallels the decline of agriculture throughout Livingston County. The first person to farm this site was Carl Christian Conrad, Herbst’s muskettoting great-grandfather. In its heyday, the farm comprised nearly 300 acres, stretching a quarter-mile north along Dorr Road from Crooked Lake Road and at least the same distance south, says Merrill Herbst, Lyle’s brother. With Dorr Road as its e a stern boundary, the farm reached west to well beyond what was formerly pasture and is now 1-96. At some point, Conrad sold some a c re age to a family named Coddington and the farm began to shrink. After Conrad’s three sons were killed in the Civil War, he sold the property to John Schoenholz. It later passed to his brother, Oscar Schoenholz, who married Lyle Herbst’s aunt Anna (sister of his father, Louis Herbst). By then, the farm covered about 180 acres, Herbst says. When Herbst purchased the farm from his aunt in 1950, after his uncle Oscar's death, Anna moved to a new home tha t Herbst had built on Main Street in Brighton. Shrinking farm lan d ■ In Livingston County, U.S. Census figures show total farm acreage has shrunk more than 30 percent since 1982. As residential development climbed, 1982 acreage totaling 137,918 acres dropped to 96,310 acres in 2002. ■ During the period, the number of 100-acre or larger farms has declined by as much as 59.9 percent. The total number of farms, however, has risen, due to growth in small farms of 49 acres or less. ■ Farmland has diminished by 41,508 acres, or the equivalent of nearly two townships.

Herbst, who grew up on his parents’ farm ju st west of Brighton, operated a thriving ice-harvesting business in the 1920s, cutting ice from Lime Lake (which bounded his dad’s property) and selling it to area businesses, including the now defunct Howell tuberculosis sanatorium. Herbst married Ila Merrell in 1942, just before he entered the armed forces to serve as a U.S. Army photographer during World War II in the Philippines.

First, he was Cupid. Then he was Superman. This year, he was Moses. Whatever the persona, for Russell Stratton, it’s always about raising funds for the Special Olympics. Stratton, a 36-year-old soccer and snowboarding coach, has been involved with the Special Olympics program for developmentally challenged athletes since he was 18 years old. But it was the Polar Plunge fundraising event that thrust him into the limelight. When the local Polar Plunge was launched in 2006 on Whitmore Lake, Stratton was there, dressed in little more than wings and a diaper. His little hop off the end of a dock RICK FITZGERALD The L iv in gs to n C om m u n ity News into a hole chopped in the ice was captured by one of our photographers. A year ago, he had his wife paint a Superman outfit onto his body and he dove into the icy waters head first. Again, he captured the attention of news photographers covering the event. Ju st a couple weeks ago. he was once more jumping into the water in the name of his favorite charitable group. This time, he was dressed as Moses and his costume, complete with Ten Commandments tablets, won him “Golden Plunger” honors for the best costume. It may seem like an absolutely crazy thing to do -jumping into a body of water through a hole in the ice in the middle of February - but Stratton will do just about anything to help the Special Olympics. He and other plungers raised $10,000 for the programs in Livingston and Washtenaw counties. SEE FITZGERALD, A6 A 6 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 , F E B R U A R Y 29, 2 0 0 8 H E R B S T FROM A S 1-96 ended family dairy operation three children, all girls. The whole family, including the daughters as they grew older, worked to operate the dairy farm. “I liked the farm chores,” recalls Herbst’s youngest daughter, Cheri Emge, who now lives in Illinois. “I milked cows, baled hay, planted and chopped corn. We all drove the tractors by the time we were 6 or 7 - as soon as we could operate a clutch (pedal).” During h e r growing-up years, Emge says, buildings on the farm included the farmhouse, a garage, and outhouse, a chicken coop, a large post-and-beam barn, a granary, a corn crib and a milk house. All but the milk house (which was constructed by Lyle Herbst himself) were built at about the same time, she says, “near the turn-ofthe-( 20th) century, as I understood it.” The barn was set on fire by juveniles, according to township officials, and burned to the ground last year. In 1962, when the federal inte rsta te highway system was being built, the state claimed 31 of Herbst’s acres for 1-96. Herbst was not happy. “They took it by eminent domain,” he says, adding tha t he was paid $13,000 for the parcel. “But the money wasn’t the point,” he says. “I lost my pasture and tha t put an end to my dairy farming. I had to go to beef cattle after that.” Water draining from 1-96 flooded his land, resulting in the loss of another 20-25 acres, he says. Repeated calls to state highway officials resulted in no relief. “They sent a man out with a pickup truck to look things over and the damn fool got stuck,” cackles Herbst. “They had to get a wrecker to pull him out.” Herbst never received any kind of consideration for the lost farmland, which is all wetlands now, he says. “My farming operation began to shrink because the land wasn’t there any more,” Herbst says. Then, in about 1992, his children grown, his wife deceased and nearing 80 years old himself, Herbst sold a 45-acre piece of his remaining property to Genoa Township as a site for a new township h ^ . “I kept an acre around the barn and 25 acres across Crooked Lake where the house is,” he says. Lyle Herbst is now happily ensconced in an assisted living facility in Brighton.

The township hopes to purchase the land where the barn once stood, for use as an athletic field, said Township Manager Mike Archinal. The remaining 25 acres of the original farm, which Herbst still owns, are leased to a local farmer. F I T Z G E R A L D FROM A5 One thing volunteer can't do: Stand on the sidelines COMMUNITY SCRAPBOOK Stratton, who lives in Marion Township with his wife, Emily, and their children, Reilly, 3 and, 18-month-old Cailin, says he first learned about the Special Olympics a t age 18 from a co-worker. He’s been involved ever since. “The Special Olympics has been a wonderful, growing experience for me,” he says, calling the athletes he works with “great people who will do great things.” Stratton is one of about 60 volunteer coaches in Livingston County, says area Special Olympics director Anne Rogers. There are about 350 athletes involved. She calls Stratton “a great guy and a great coach” who is well liked by the athletes he works with. Stratton is one of those people who can’t stand on the sidelines of life, just watching the world go by. He’s got to get involved. He works as a therapist for people with addictions at Brighton Hospital. For several years, he helped raise funds for a pediatric brain trauma group that hosted a motorcycle ride before he even had a motorcycle. Part of the reason he plunged into the lake as Moses this year was because he already had the beard and long hair to look the part. Why the long hair? He’s growing out his hair so he Stratton is one of those people who can't stand on the sidelines of life, just watching the world go by. He's got to get involved. can donate it to Locks of Love. He’s been letting it grow for 13 months so far and he figures he has another year to go before he can get to the required 10- inch-long ponytail. As for next y e a r’s Polar Plunge character, Stratton says, it’s too early to know. He likes to tie his characters into something current or topical. But there’s no question he’ll be back to support the program that he has made an important part of his life.

The Brighton City Council last week OK’d a site plan on a 5-2 vote for Grand River Market, which will include both Starbucks and an Olga’s. Seattle-based Starbucks is the world’s largest coffeehouse chain and the top purveyor of specialty coffees, with more than 15,000 outlets in 42 countries. Olga’s is a small chain of about 30 re s taurants founded in Michigan and now located in three Midwestern states. Lil’ Chef will be demolished to make way for the 5,500- square-foot building. The new site plan includes 10 stacking spaces for cars at the drivethrough coffee shop window plus one pull-up space. Mayor Kate Lawrence, who voted no along with Council Member Jim Bohn, likes the architecture of the building but said she has concerns about already congested traffic along Grand River. Bohn said he is concerned with “gridlock” during morning rush hour as well. The approved site plan contains the restriction that traffic moving southeast on Grand River (toward downtown) will not be allowed to turn left into Starbucks because it is too close to the Challis Road intersection. Lawrence said she is concerned that southeastbound traffic on Grand River Avenue will turn into the first convenient driveway and reenter Grand River in the other direction in order to access Starbucks’ drive-through. Another restriction; Traffic exiting Starbucks or Olga’s will only be allowed to turn right onto Grand River Avenue. However, there will be a re a r exit onto Best Buy Drive to reduce congestion. Developers say they like the location because it’s close for drivers getting onto 1-96. Lil’ Chef owner Scott Steele said he has found a new location but declined to reveal it. He said the new Lil’ Chef will be a similar operation, but will probably not be open 24 hours a day, as he is now. “I’ll probably will be open 24 hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with the same menu and most of the same employees,” he said. Steele says he has the perfect location now and would have preferred to remain where he is, but “couldn’t match the developer’s price.” However he is now looking forward to the move, saying he is confident his customers will adjust to a new location.

The money raised from the 20-year bonds will pay for a 190-space parking lot and two approximately 15,000-squarefoot building lots with underground utilities in the northwest quadrant of the village. The bonds will be offered for sale at an interest rate not to 6 percent. Proceeds from the bond sale a re expected to be available in April in order to purchase property for the northwest quadrant project. At its Feb. 18 meeting, the village council also accepted donations of easements for the project from adjoining properties owned by Lester Tomaskewski, Michael Gebus, Douglas Burnie, Mary Burnie, Edward Caudill, Lori Mudge and Paul Harmon. In December the village council borrowed $500,000 for this project from the Michigan Economic Development Corp.’s Community Development Block Grant Revolving Loan Flind at a rate of 4.5 percent. Both the loan and bonds will be paid off with taxes captured from new economic development in the Fowlerville Downtown Development Authority. If the captured taxes are not sufficient to pay off the loan and bonds, the Village of Fowlervilie will be responsible for assuming payments. Trustee Mike Stock asked DDA Manager Fred Dillingham about the possibility of the potential buyers of the building lots in the project not being able to exercise their options on the property. “There is some risk here, th e re ’s no doubt about it,” Dillingham responded. “This (project) is too much risk for a private investor to make, tha t’s why we’re (the DDA) making it.” Trustee David Kuehn said, “I think we have two choices - we can watch the town die or we can speculate.” After the unanimous vote approving the sale of the bonds Dillingham said, “We’re all equally to blame if something goes wrong; or somebody will be (run) out of town on a rail - but I’ll be yelling, ‘We tried. We tried’,” he said. S>%VYe”sBRIARW00D mall I l-M i 1 STATE St - PAWING iOT 2A-28 • 734-994-4670 *1.00 I SUN to THU TUESDAV |FRI-SAT*1.7S BEFORE 6pmI$1.SOAFTER 6wIalLSHOWS SCK!

Lyon senior is 4th downstater since'99 to win slalom title BY JASON DEEGAN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity N ews South Lyon senior Jeff Thompson conquered a difficult Nub’s Nob ski run Feb. 25, blazing a path into the history books. Thompson became ju s t the fourth so-called downs ta te skier since 1999 to win the Division I slalom s ta te individual championship afte r two flawless runs, combining for a time of 1 minute, 4.79 seconds. The performance capped a remarkable one-two punch for Kensington Valley Conference schools. Justin J a n s sen of White Lake Lakeland captured the giant slalom in the morning, becoming ju s t the third downstater to win since 1999. Thompson, who was 11th in the giant slalom, said the KVC performances should send a message to the traditional powers up north. “I really hope th a t they take us a little more s e riously,” he said. South Lyon coach John Thompson, J e f f ’s dad, said skiers in metro Detroit affectionately re fe r to th em selves as “flatlanders.” , “We a re on a hill th re e times what we a re used to (at s ta te finals). We have to outperform ourselves,” he said. “It is a big event when downstaters a re able to take th a t championship. The upnorth teams a re humbled.” Jo h n Thompson said icy conditions a t Nub’s Nob, one of the most difficult racing venues in the state, weeded out the pre ten d e rs. Je ff Thompson said his familiarity with the ru n was critical. “I knew I had the ability, but it was a m a tte r of p u tting it all to g e th e r a t once,” he said. “I knew where to take it easy and where to let go. When I did, I took off.” The Lions finished in sixth place as a team with 228 points. Lion senior Garre tt Gelfund was 22nd in the slalom, with freshman Sam Mehr 28th in the slalom and 32nd in giant slalom. The Brighton girls team finished ninth out of nine teams.

Winter play w ith o u t the Brighton Athletic Club r R PHOTOS: LON HORWEDEL.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton's Dan Kopcyk smashes a return off the back wall of the racquetball courts at the Family Fitness Factory during a recent match. He's one of 16 players signed up for the new league at the Hamburg Township facility following last April's closure of the Brighton Althletic Club.

Every shot Scott hits into the wall, Barnabo bangs it back. Scott, pinned in an awkward position along the back wall, finally leaves a shot short on a recent 'Itiesday night. “That was nice,” she says of the rally, complimenting Barnabo, who drives in from Chelsea to play. The courts at the Family Fitness Factory are getting more use than ever these days. The closure of the Brighton Athletic Club last April has forced many avid racquetball players to search for a new home. Some landed here. The racquetball scene at the Family Fitness Factory is a, far cry from the busy league season the six courts at the BAC once hosted, but the 20 or so players who share two courts are just happy they don’t have to drive to Lansing or Farmington Hills to find a game. “We are grateful to be able to play,” says Scott, who lives in Brighton Township. Thursday night regular Jeff Ryan adds: “Obviously, it’s not as big as the other place, but there are a few less people, so it is working out OK.” Matthew Wojczynski, one of the managers a t the Family Fitness Factory, says the business has tried to launch racquetball leagues unsuccessfully for years, but the influx of former BAC members finally made it possible last April. The transition has not come without some problems. Tom Combs, a Hamburg Township resident, says he almost quit the league during the two earlier sessions before volunteering to take over the scheduling. Currently, 16 players compete in two separate divisions once a week, Tuesdays for beginner and intermediate players and Thursdays for advanced players. “We had Class B people playing Class C (lesser skilled players), or they (opponents) wouldn’t show up,” Combs says of the problems tha t plagued the first two league sessions. “Now, we have a nice nucleus of eight or nine guys who show up (Thursdays) and play a t a similar level.” Combs hopes to run one more league before summer once this session ends in early April. For information, contact him a t 810-610-4884. Like many players, Ryan, 54, a Howell 'Township resident who works as a manufacturing manager in Brighton, says he loves the workout that racquetball gives him. “It is good exercise and a lot of fun,” he says. As a type 2 diabetic, exercise is very important to him, Combs says, but that’s not what motivates him to play. He sometimes plays three times a week, including a regular Saturday morning round robin with league ftiends. “Everybody says they are doing it (play racquetball) for the exercise. That’s a bunch of crap,” he says. “They are all a bunch of competitors.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Tennis players scatter after club closes This has been a winter of discontent for a re a tennis players. It’s been 10 months since the Brighton Athletic Club closed its doors, but the real impact has been in the last three months, as players have scrambled to find places to play indoors. The closure has fractured the local tennis community, scattering players throughout southeast Michigan. Diane Garrett, who lives in Howell Township, now drives her son, James Garre tt III, in two opposite directions each week to play. The fifth-grader a t Charyl Stockwell Academy goes to clinics at the Sports Club of Novi twice a week and heads to the Genesys Athletic Club in Grand Blanc for private lessons twice a week. Former BAC general manager Kyle Canada now runs the tennis program at Genesys. “I would love for another club to come back. We definitely need some tennis facilities out here,” Diane Garrett said. “The closest is 35 minutes away. We are willing to do it, but a lot of kids aren’t.” Brighton junior Alex Smith, the No. 2 singles player for the Bulldogs last fall, said he probably plays half as much as he used to, SEE CLUB, 82 Hartland senior highlights large contingent of state bowling qualifiers JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS H a r t la n d s e n io r K r is ten Brewer, seen here practicing at Brighton Bowl earlier this year, will bowl in Saturday's Division I in d iv id u a l state finals for the first time. Boys and girls teams head to the state finals in Muskegon BY JASON DEEGAN The L iv in g s to n C om m u n ity News -Local Kensington Valley Conference bowling programs are sending their largest contingent ever to this weekend’s Division I state finals a t Northway Lanes in Muskegon. But it’s Hartland senior Kristen Brewer who stands out for h e r perseverance and hard work to finally reach the goal she’s been gunning for the past four seasons. Brewer bowled a regional performance to remember at Wonderland Lanes in Walled Lake Feb. 22-23, placing third with a six-game series of 1,321. She was the only female state qualifier to bowl above 200 in each regional game. Hartland co-coach Tim Radzwion called Brewer’s effort the highlight of his coaching career. Radzwion said many Hartland supporters had tears in their eyes when she qualified for Saturday’s individual state finals. Her father. Bob Brewer, Hartland’s girls coach, said a lesson with Michelle Mullen of Farmington Hills the day before regionals helped his daughter break out of a lateseason slump. “It was a little timing issue. She was missing h e r spot,” Bob Brewer said. “The lesson was just a big confidence booster. Michelle told her she looked great. That helped her confidence.” Four local KVC teams - the Howell and Brighton boys teams and the South Lyon boys and girls programs - all qualified for today’s team state finals, making up the largest contingent in the sport’s five-year history. The Howell boys, led by individual qualifiers Trevor Smith and Kaleb Rice, advanced to the match-play quarterfinals in 2007, a goal within reach this season as well. The Lions are no strangers to the finals. The girls, ranked sixth in the state, have qualified every year. The boys are making their second straight appearance.

He believes these Eagles already have accomplished as much as, or more, than his four previous squads that were aU Division I state ru n ners- up. The Eagles have overcome inexperience, injuries, illness, a tragic accident to an assistant coach and massive graduation losses to advance to the state quarterfinals for the seventh straight year. The fourth-ranked Eagles (32-3) square off against undefeated and second-ranked Holt (26-0) a t the Kellogg Arena in Battle Creek a t 5:30 p.m. tonight. The winner of No. 1 Davison (33-1) and unranked Plymouth Canton (27- 7) awaits a t 11:45 a.m. Saturday. The championship match is scheduled for 4 p.m. Cheney said he won’t be disappointed where the Eagles finish as long as they wrestle hard. “We’ve improved so much and dealt with so much, the wrestling matches a re the easiest thing to deal with,” he said. The Eagles are relishing their unfamiliar role as an underdog. “It’s almost like we’re a wounded animal,” Cheney said. “You don’t mess with those.” Hartland senior co-captain Matt Bain, who will require surgery after the season for his two wounded knees, said the Eagles are peaking after beating two powerful foes. No. 8 Clarkston and No. 7 Novi (Detroit) Catholic Central, to capture a regional championship. “The young kids have stepped up,” Bain said. “They’ve done it (win) in big tournaments. They are better off. They know what to expect. They are not totally blind (to tournament pressure).” Senior Jeremy Bommarito said the Eagles are out to prove those who say the Eagles are rebuilding are wrong. “This team has pulled through,” he said. “They’ve shown they have heart.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynew5.com or at 810-844-2012.

IN BRIEF Brighton basketball survives semifinals Only one of the Kensington Valley Conference’s two district champions survived the Class A regional semifinals Feb. 26. The Brighton girls basketball team capped an incredible comeback with a 60-56 overtime victory over Livonia Franklin at Walled Lake Central. The Bulldogs, whose regional final showdown with North Farmington Thursday night was unavailable at press time, overcame a seven-point deficit in the last 90 seconds of regulation to tie it. The South Lyon girls basketball team couldn’t muster a similar comeback 'Ibesday, losing 51-42 to Holt at Kalamazoo Central High School. Howell rec advances basketball shooters The Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority hosted the annual Michigan Recreation and Park Association Hoops Shoot Challenge Feb. 24, crowning many winners who will compete at the Saline Recreation Center March 9. The boys winners are; Ifyle O’Donohue (ages 8-9), Jacob Wendel (9-10), Logan Bush (12-13) and Brandin Beaudin (14-15). The girls winners are: Courtney Gustin (10-11), Madison Prinzing (12-13) and Karley Hatter (14-15). C L U B FROM 81 People pushed out of county for winter play despite having memberships a t the Huron Valley Tennis Club in Ann Arbor and the Farmington Racquet Club in Farmington Hills. “It has caused a couple problems h e re and th e re ,” he said of the BAC’s closure. “It is toughe r to ge t to play as often a s I ’d like. It is not convenient to play I have to drive (far). I have to hit with people I don’t know. It has split everybody up. It has been a lot different.” Howell varsity boys and girls coach Mark Oglesby indicated he has eight girls playing Sundays a t the Michigan Athletic Club in E a s t Lansing and six boys playing Sundays a t Court One in Okemos. Paul Sochacki, 88, a Green Oak Township re sid en t who used to play afternoon walkin tennis a t the BAC twice a week, has taken his se a rch for the game to an o th e r extreme. He’s re tre a ted to Arizona to play this winter. Brighton girls tennis coach Je ff Miner said he worries about the future of tennis in the county. “What I worry about is 3, 4, 5 y e a rs from now, the little kids in the junior p ro grams, they won’t have sta rted (playing tennis),” he said. “They won’t come up (through the youth ranks). That’s where the impact will be felt more than this year.” He said parents who must choose between driving a halfhour to get their children to tennis practice or 10 minutes to find a soccer or basketball facility will likely choose the convenience factor. “It will cut down our pool of players unless they are committed to the sport or they a re a tennis family,” Miner said. Brighton boys coach Brian Martin said the closure will likely affect the girls program more, now th a t the federally mandated seasons switch has the girls playing in the spring. Martin said his boys will have summer programs to p rep a re for the fall season. Martin often pre a ch e s the benefits of playing yearround, but without an immediate solution to the problem, a re a players a re forced to wait patiently for a new home closer to home.

Chelsea Allen (fourth a t regionals), Lindsay Heikkinen (fifth) and Brittany Hemy (eighth) will bowl in the individual finals as well. “Positions one through five, we are pretty good,” he said of his girls. Josh Harper, who qualified for individual competition by finishing eighth a t regionals, leads the Lions boys, who tied for third in the KVC with Brighton and were third at regionals. Ringrose said his boys team bowled 10 straight games of at least 1,000 points late in the season. “They have been inconsistent. They started coming together,” Ringrose said. Brighton juniors Tony McNamara (fourth at regionals) and James Koss (sbcth) propelled the Bulldogs to their second regional title in three years in Walled Lake. Koss’s 223 season average ranks among the top eight in the state, making him a th re a t for Saturday’s individual championship. “ (Koss) has been my best bowler all year,” Brighton coach Shawn Kind said. “This very well could be his year.

Wssn# 5322 Village of Pinckney Consumer Confidence Report For Calendar Year 2007 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report This report covers the drinking water quality for the Village of Pinckney, for.the calendar year 2007. This report is designed to inform you about the water quality and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are comnutted to ensuring tlje quality of your water. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. Our water source is from'the groundwater. In 1990 the Village of Pinckney installed two wells that comprise the wellfield, they are situated in a sandstone aquifer at a depth of 200 feet. The wells are both 12-inch production wells, and have the capacity to pump 500 gallons per minute. The well logs show an abundance of gray clay approximately 30 feet in depth in this area. The bedrock of water-bearing sandstone interbedded with limestone and shale was reached at 60 feet. In June of 1997 the Village of Pinckney established a Wellhead Protection Plan, a voluntary program to protect our source water from potential sources of groundwater contamination. Reducing the threat of contamination of our wells may allow us to defer or waive certain costly monitoring requirements. To help indicate the susceptibility of the groundwater to contamination, we have tested our source water for tritium. Tritium is a naturally occurring isotope whose presence increased as a result of nuclear weapons testing in the 1950‘s causing groundwater to be ‘lagged” with excess tritium. Groundwater recharged prior to the 1950’s will have a tritium level at or below one “tritium unit” (TU). Our system delected tritium at 1.4 and may be considered vTiberable to contamination than water with lower tritium levels. Although tritium levels may inihcate an aquifer is “not vulnerable,” it is important to realize that a potential for conlarhination may still exist. For that reason, we’ve taken steps to protect our wellhead area. Contaminants and their presence in water; Drinking Water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Vulnerability of sub-population; Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplant, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Crytosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Sources of Drinking Water; The sources of drinking ^ater (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally - occurring minerals ant^ in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include; Microbial Contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic Contaminants, such as salt and metals, which can be naturally - occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or fanning. Pesticides and Herbicides; which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses. Organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by - products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, uihan stormwater runoff, and septic systems. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which provide the same protection for public health. The Village has sampled three consecutive times, and no residents in the last round exceeded the action levels for lead and copper. We have complied with EPA Lead and Copper regulations for the monitoring period of 2006. The Village will begin testing for lead and copper again in the 2008 calendar year. The Village also collects monthly bacteriological samples throughout the Village, and all the test results indicated non-detection limits. Tm pleased to report that our drinking water has met all federal and state requirements. The Village of Piuckney routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and Stale laws. This table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 to December 31,2007. The State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once a year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. All the data is representative of the water quality, but some are more than one year old. In this table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we’ve provided the following definitions; N/A - Not applicable Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/1) - one pan per million corresponds to one minute in iWo years or a single penny in $10,000. Pans per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - one pan per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Action Level - the concenuation of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Maximum Contaminant Level - (mandatory language) The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - (roan(3alory language) The “Goal”(MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. EPA considers 50pci/l to be the level of concern for beta particles. Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. Monitoring helps EPA determine where certain contaminants occur and whether it needs to regulate those contaminants. Regulated Contaminants MCL MCLG Level Detected Sampled Taken if Not in 2007 Violation Yes / No Likely Source Of Contamination 1. Fluoride (ppm) 4 4 0.29 NO Erosion of natural dappsits.

As you can see by the tables shown above, that the Village Water System had no violations. We’re proud to inform you that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements for 2007. * We are committed to providing you safe, reliable and healthy water. We are pleased to provide you with this information to keep you fully informed about yourwater. We will be updating this report annually, and will also keep you informed of any problems that may occur throughout the year, as they happen.

He had nine suspensions and more than a dozen detentions, according to Maltby teacher K aren Storey. “Chris Weaver and I started working with Adam in December,” said Storey, who along with Weaver teaches emotionally impaired students. “We knew that Adam couldn’t sit in a classroom and do work all day long. When we found out that he is really interested in bicycles, I had an idea.” Storey asked Maltby P rin cipal Jeff Eisele for permission for Adam to leave school a few days a week and work at a bike shop. Eisele gave Storey permission do job shadowing with Adam, and Chris Vest, owner of The Shop, a bicycle and snow board shop on Grand River Avenue just west of Brighton, invited Adam to come and work there. For the past two months, Adam has spent two hours a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays learning to be a bike m echanic at The Shop. “I like working at The Shop,” Adam said. “I t ’s cool. Knowing I can leave school and do something I enjoy, makes school better.” Storey said the plan has changed him and his approach to school. “Adam’s a different kid,” said Storey. “Since he started the job, his attendance at school has gone up to 95 percent and he has had no discipline issues. I have seen such a huge change in him socially and emotionally and with his self esteem.” At home, things have also improved for Adam. “I ’m happier because I ’m not getting into trouble,” he said. “Adam is more willing to go to school especially on the days he’s going to the bike shop,” said his mom Laurie Maisel, who adds that Adam has always enjoyed taking bicycles apart and putting them back together. Storey wants other people in the community to hear about Adam and hopes to create similar opportunities for other students. “I f we have appropriate programming for Wds, in the long run it will pay for itself,” said Storey. “Adam is still learning, but it’s just a different way. We need to look at education for each kid individually. This opportunity has made a huge ■ difference for Adam.” L isa C a ro lin c a n b e r e a c h e d a t Ic a r o 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 .

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS O U T L O O K 2 0 0 8 Newest Wal-Mart Supercenter r At Rosati's Market Place in downtown Fowlerville, shopper Joan Blair of Fowlerville stops at the deli counter for some lunchmeat. Blair said she is looking forward to the new Wa I- ■■'.m Mart but also said Rosati's, a smaller independent grocer, is ^ certainly a convenient place to stop. PHOTOS; JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS J Fowlerville Store to have 350 new employees RETAIL REPORT BY CASEY HANS The Livingston Community Nevys There was some cautious optimism in Fowlerville before this week’s scheduled opening of the county’s newest Wal-Mart Supercenter. 'The retail giant was scheduled to open this morning with 350 new employees - an estimated 65 percent to 70 percent of those from the :^wlerville area. On a recent weekday, Rosati’s Market Place was doing a bustling business downtown where people like Fowlerville resident Joan Blair were shopping. “I ’m excited about the Wal-Mart coming in,” she said, “especially about the new jobs coming to the area.” But, she added, Rosati’s is convenient, and she still plans to shop there. Owner Chris Rosati said he plans to Justin Quainton, assistant store manager at the Fowlerville Wal-Mart, stocks shelves in preparation of the store's opening today. continue offering a convenient shopping experience, as he has for seven years. “We’re probably going to cater more to meat and bakery items and expand on the produce section,” he said. “We’re going to try to do what we do: friendly, hometown service. We’re going to keep our overhead down and do the best we can.” Rosati has a small operation, but many residents are comfortable there, he said. The aisles, for example, are named after Fowlerville-area streets like Bull Run and Van Buren. “Some of the customers will stand here for 45 minutes and talk to their neighbor,” Rosati said. “I ’m sure we’ll have loyal shoppers who will continue to shop here.” Fred Dillingham, a Fowlerville native son and executive director for the Economic Development Council of Livingston County, which administers the village’s DDA, said Wal-Mart is good for the community. He said the downtown is tied to the retailer as part of the village’s overall DDA district and that the DDA will gain funding for improvements by having Wal-Mart here. “We are all one family,” he said. “Through the tax base, it ties Wal-Mart to the downtown. I think Wal-Mart is one of the best things that could happen to Fowlerville.” Economically, the retailer has employed 350 local residents and will offer a “boost in disposable income,” he said. The DDA is redeveloping a portion of downtown property on the former site of Fowlerville Lumber. The $2.4 m illion project will bring 190 new parking SEE FOWLERVILLE, A2 Growth in county continues H o w e v e r , e c o n o m y s lo w s r a te c o n s id e r a b ly BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News The economy is in the news almost daily: Consumer spending nationally was flat in Janua iy for the second straight month; some economists believe the nation will slip into a recession; other economists think the price of gasoline could hit $4 a gallon by summer; the domestic auto industry is shedding high-wage workers. Livingston County, while hardly immune from those developments, appears to be in a better position than many Michigan counties. While the county continues to grow, the growth rate has slowed considerably. The February 2008 population estimate is 191,369 people compared to 156,951 in the 2000 census. Real estate officials are cautiously optimistic about the year ahead. The county’s industrial plants continue to thrive. And the local health care industry is expanding with the population. Here is a more detailed look at some of those segments of the local economy. Real estate Livingston County Association of Realtors President Jane Pendleton is optimistic about the buyers’ market that exists heading into 2008. “We’re seeing an upswing,” said Pendleton, who is with Century 21 Brighton 'Towne Co. “Our January sales were up, and I ’m getting more showings,” she said. Bill Anderson, vice president of commercial lending at the Brighton Commerce bank, also is optimistic. “I think things will pick up, and the key is how long will that be sustained,” he said. “I t ’s clearly a buyer’s market.” Pendleton said now is the SONIA L GOTTTRIED, LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS perfect time for first-time home buyers or “to move up a step” in the housing market. Anderson said interest rates on home mortgages are favorable right now, at 6.375 percent on a 30-year, fixed mortgage. “Our problem right now isn’t mortgage rates - the problem is consumer confidence and jobs,” he said. “Anything under 200 (thousand dollars) or 175 (thousand) is still active, and high-end is still active, but in the middle range there aren’t any buyers,” said George Bacalis, co-owner of Artisan Building Co.

This year's event is on March 15. Pinckney goes Irish Annual parade perks up the village March 15 BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Beds will be raced down Main Street this year to help Pinckney start its annual St. Patrick’s Day festivities. The fun begins at noon Saturday, March 15, at the village’s . fourth annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Celebration. 'Teams of five are busy building their fastest beds for the two-block trek from Marion to Mill streets. Fbur people push, while one rides at ^ times. Awards will be given to the overall winner, the most unique and nuttiest racing teams and the people’s choice. “We think it’s really going to be a lot of fun,” said Ann Jarema, a member of the parade committee. As the inaugural Paddy Wagon Bed Race wraps up, the parade, which starts at noon at Pinckney Elementary School, 935 W. M-36, will reach downtown, Jarema said. Pat Carney, a Putnam Township resident and former township zoning administrator, is this year’s grand marshal. “I was very surprised to be chosen, but I think it’s kind of cool,” Carney said. “I ’m looking forward to it.” The parade features St. Patrick, floats, Irish dancers, a bagpipe band, equestrians, a color guard finm Pinckney American Legion Post No. 419, members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, government officials and even a few leprechauns. The Livingston Chapter of Michigan Military Moms and Rolling Thunder Michigan Chapter 5 will also participate. For the second year, Pinckney’s festivities are taking place on a Saturday. The village traditionally celebrates on St. Patrick’s Day - March 17 - but that falls during Holy Week, the seven days preceding Easter, this year. St. Patrick’s Day also is a holy day. The Catholic Church does not allow other church services to overshadow those during Holy Week, so it has requested that celebrations take place the Saturday before. “I ’m very excited,” said Deby Henneman, a parade committee member and owner of Carousel Floral & Gifts, 105 E. Main St., Pinckney. “Now if they can say a little prayer for us for the weather, we’ll be set.” Celebrating the Emerald Isle Downtown Pinckney is gearing up for its annual St. Patrick's Day festivities.

FOWLERVILLE FROM A1 DDA redeveloping former lumber site spaces and 30,000 square feet of retail and office space plus streetscape improvements that will begin this spring and be completed in the fall. Dillingham said he hopes new business will be lured with an expected increase in traffic through the village. Mark Darby, manager of the new Wal-Mart, said he is looking forward to becoming part of the FbwlerviDe community. “We will have $18,000 that we’re going to work with in the village of Fowlerville,” he said. Initially, $5,000 will be given as a grant in the Fowlerville Community Schools for an elementary level reading program. “Myself and the management staff will work with the schools,” he said. “And that will happen all the way aroimd the community.” He said he plans to be active in the Fowlerville Business Association as well as the Rotary Club. Village Manager Joe Merucci said the formation of the fledgling FBA, a networking and business group for local merchants, was timely. “There had been talk about it before the Wal-Mart (plans), he said, ‘"rhe group has developed with committed leaders and committed members.” Fowlerville has generally welcomed the nation’s largest retailer to town - not always the case in many communities. Village officials worked to ensure that the store met the community’s standards, including spiffed-up signage and bricked exterior with decorative planters and p lenty of planted trees. Merucci said the process for planning and building the store went smoothly. “I think of the hundreds of things we’ve asked of Wal-Mart, they’ve agreed to 99 percent of them right away. They have been most agreeable to eveiything.” Nick Infante, Wal-Mart spokesman, said the opening is strategic for the company. “We don’t have a Supercenter east of Lansing until you get to Howell,” he said, adding that you have to go as far as St. Johns to the n o itt and quite far south to find another. “We’re filling in a gap,” he said. “I t ’s a great location.” , Merucci said village officials expect between 700 and 1,000 people a day visiting the store, and hope to find ways to draw them to shop downtown as well. He said the vUlage plans new signs to let visitors know what else is available just up the street. Dillingham said many people will visit Fowlerville who have not come to town before. “I guess I ’m excited about the excitement I see in the community. There’s this excitement - this anticipation,” he added.

A large crowd attended the funeral of Leo Felty Jr., 32, the husband of Pinckney Village Clerk Amy Felty, at Shalom Lutheran Church, 1740 E. M-36, Putnam Township. Burial was in the Pinckney Cemetery. “We’re all just stunned and devastated,” said Pinckney Village President Rebecca Foster. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Amy and the family.” The Feltys have three children. Leo Robert, 11, attends Navigator School and twins Kali and Hannah, 8, go to Pinckney Elementary School. Memori^ contributions are being accepted for an education fund for the children; envelopes are available at Pinckney Village Hall, 220 S. Howell Street, Pinckney. Ffelty a masonry worker, was employed by Davenport Masonry of Holt and was a member of Bricklayer’s Union Local No. 9. Kirk Frownfelter, executive vice president and area general manager for Skanska, the museum project’s construction management company, said he did not believe Felty was wearing a safety harness, but one was not required in this case. Regulations specify that workers use safely harnesses only under certain conditions, depending on the type of scaffolding and workers’ access to it, said Bob Pawlowski, director of the Michigan D e partment of Occupational Safety and Health Administration construction safety and health divisions. Pawlowski said it could take several weeks before a report on the incident is released. “When we have an incident like this, w e’re interested in seeing whether or not there were any rules violated that could have led to the incident,” said Pawlowski. In a statement released by the U-M News Service, Marina Roelofs, executive director for the U-M department of architecture, engineering and construction, said worker safety is one of the office’s highest priorities. “We are deeply saddened by this tragic accident and loss of life,” said Roelofs. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, fiiends and co-workers.” Felty is also survived by his father, Leo Felty Sr., of Brighton; brother, Michael D. Felty, of Brighton; and grandmother Mary Felty, of Brighton. IN BRIEF Brighton Senior Center seeks new director The Brighton Senior Center is again looking for a director. After just two months at the posL "Tony DiCola resigned last month because the demands of the job were more than he wanted, said Anne Rennie, director of Brighton Community Education which oversees the center. DiCola was hired in December of 2007 to replace Nancy Hall. A retired engineer, he had worked for the center as a driver. Rennie said she is reviewing resumes and hopes to hire a new director soon. Howell Former car dealer sentenced to prison A former Howell used car dealer who police say defrauded over 20 customers has been sentenced to two years in prison. Steven Riltz, ^ o known as Steve Brown, was sentenced last week in U.S. District Court in Flint by Judge Paul V Gadola. As part of his sentence, Ftiltz was also ordered to pay 25 fraud victims a total of $467,000 in restitution. Under terms of the sentence, his time in prison will be followed by three years of supervised release. H e could have faced up to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to bank fraud. FUtz, who until 2005 did business as Steve Brown Used Cars at 904 E. Grand River Ave., pleaded guilty last September before Judge Paul V Gadola to one coimt of bank fi^ud in connection with the fraudulent transactions. The property where the used car lot was located remains vacant. F\dtz is currently free on bond until he is transferred to a state correctional facility. Livingston County Watershed issues to be discussed 'The Huron R iver Watershed Council is hosting a meeting on Portage Creek Thursday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Hewlett Elementary School gymnasium, 126 Webb St. in Gregory. The meeting is a kick-off event for a locally-based planning process. A HRWC watershed planner will share information about Portage Creek and review the steps of watershed management. Those attending will be able to share what interests them about the Portage Creek watershed, and how they’d like to be involved, by contacting Elizabeth Riggs (eriggs@hrwc.org or 734-769- 5123, ext. 15) by 'Itiesday. Washtenaw County Fewer charges for suspended attorney A suspended defense attorney who last operated from a Brighton office won’t face trial on a charge that he provided drugs causing the death of 22- year-old woman Tiffany Gregory in his Huron 'Towers apartment, a Washtenaw County judge ruled. Ron Plunkett is still scheduled for trial next month on charges of drug delivery and maintaining a drug house, but Circuit Judge Melinda Morris dismissed the most serious charge against him. He had been charged with one count of delivery of a controlled substance causing death under a relatively new law that has a maximum sentence of life in prison. Medical examiners ruled Gregory’s death was accidental and found alcohol, cocaine and heroin in her system. Other charges remain because testimony showed Plunkett physically had control of the crack cocaine and shared it intentionally at his home, Morris wrote. The more serious of the two, one count of drug delivery, is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors are considering an appeal. Plunkett is free on bond. = n it I iNc;sT()\ = COMMUNITY Published each Friday. Periodicals postage paid at Brighton, Michigan, under the act of March 3,1879. OFFICES Main office: 420 W.

S e r v ic e - s e c to r g r o w t h m a y le a v e o u t w o r k in g c la s s OUTLOOK 2008 BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News Livingston County will benefit finm more high-paying jobs in the coming year as the area shifts attention from the automotive sector to health care * and social services. According to Xuan Liu, data center manager for Southeastern Michigan Council of Government, a group that collects demographic information an- _ nually for the purpose of mak- V ing projections, the change is driven by a declining automotive market and aging population. “The hope is that it will attract more people working in areas of knowledge base jobs such as finance, insurance and real estate - people with higher education, with higher pay.” That is good news in an area experiencing significant job loss, foreclosures and a record number of requests for basic needs including food, shelter, clothing and utilities, but is it a sign that the middle class is shrinking? With the anticipated growth of high-demand incomes, and a ^ significant portion of the county working harderto make ends meet, is Livingston County becoming a county of haves and have nots? Those are questions local service agencies are trying to answer. b “We had 744 households come to Gleaner’s (food bank) in Januaiy,” said Erica Karfonta, g e n e r i manager of Gleane r’s in Genoa Township. It is the highest number of families ever received at her site. “Of those, 103 were new (to Gleaner’s.)” She said more often than not, professional women make up her new clientele - real estate agents, retail and office support employees. “In my opinion, there are haves and have nots in that it is easier now to become a have not. In a better economy, people were getting a pay check sooner. Now, people may have to wait weeks, months between paychecks,” Karfonta said. She is working on a project to address the higher demand for basic needs resulting fi'om the sluggish economy. She is taking a three-pronged approach: Educate people so they can advocate on current bills before legislators, increase the number of volunteers, and bring in more donations. “Statistically, the middle class is becoming the working poor,” she said, “which is not necessarily being defined by income.” Nancy Rosso, executive director of the Livingston County United Way, agreed. “In other times, people have been able to sell off their assets to get out of trouble. Now, you could be in a million-dollar house and be hungry.” Last year, the Livingston County United Way initiated the 211 phone number that allows people to access every social service agency in one phone call. “For the f c t time. we have hard numbers for the types of services requested, and 40 percent of the calls are for basic needs - food, rent, utilities - we know that’s top of mind,” Rosso said. Rosso does not believe there is a large contingent of county residents unaffected by the economy, creating the haves and the have nots. She has an simpler explanation for why restaurants in downtown Brighton seem to be busy despite the poor economy. She believes people will frequent restaurants whether they should be saving money or not. “Livingston (bounty exceeds the state average for binge drinking. It ’s all part and parcel with stress, people go out to eat and drink,” she said. Piet Lindhout, owner of Lindhout Associates Architects, offered another view; People could be taking their family downtown for a meal rather than to Florida for a vacation. “When you’re a big shooter, you’ve got big bills,” he said about his high-end clients with high financial obligations, which still need to be fulfilled despite empty commercial and r e t ^ space. The decline of local business means landlords are forced to pay a mortgage without the benefit of rent from a paying tenant. “The building development group is hurting,” he said. Still, there are some who appear not to be as financially conservative. Scott Visger, president and co-owner of Vantage Construction, reports an 80 percent drop in home sales between $300,000 and $700,000, but less than a 50 percent drop in homes above $700,000. “In the higher bracket, there is still some building going on,” he said. Speaking about his high-end customers, he does not telieve they are the “haves” as much as he believes they are smart investors, who know what they want. Part of the problem in determining who makes up Livingston County, according to Rosso, is that nolxxfy really knows how much help people are getting from friends and family. The degree of help needed “is difficult to assess when you have an affluent community.” She believes people in need remain quiet because of pride. Karfonta echoes her point. “Our county has the largest number of people who qualify for the (Michigan) food stamp program who don’t use it either because of stigma, or because they think it is not worth the trouble.” WhUe SEMCOG’s official numbers won’t be out until ^ r i l 3, it appears Livingston County will continue to grow in population by 8 percent th ro u ^ 2035, higher than the regional average of 3 percent. “The communities expected to gain are the townships of Green Oak, lyronne, and Oceola,” Liu said. “Handy and Howell (townships) will also see some growth.” L a u rie H um p h re y c a n b e re a c h e d a t lh um p h re y@ liv in g s to n c om m u n ity n ew s .c om o r 8 1 0 -8 4 4 -2 0 0 3 . Empty Bowls fundraiser serves up soup for Gleaners BY LEANNE SMITH The Uvingston Community News The number of empty bowls in Livingston County is at an all-time high this year, according to organizers of a local event that strives to help curb the hunger that comes along with them. Pinckney Community Schools’ Empty Bowls Dinner uses art, a simple dinner of soup and bread and about 1,000 unique clay bowls made by young artists to raise money for Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston and its Shared Harvest Pantry. This year’s event, set for 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday in the Pinckney Community High School commons, 10255 Dexter-Pinckney Road, is even more important, said Erica Karfonta, the food bank’s director of operations. “After we get through the Christmas holidays, we traditionally see a decrease in the number of people we serve, but this January was quite the exception,” Karfonta said. “We had a record month in the number of people served, and about 14 percent of them were brand new to our program.” The need along the M-36 corridor, which includes Pinckney and Hamburg and Putnam townships, also continues to grow, Karfonta said. Diane Harris, a Pinckney Elementary School art and technology teacher, sees it first-hand. “We have a much greater need just among our school families than we did a year Pinckney Empty Bowls Dinner ■ When: 5-8 p.m. Thursday. ■ Where; Pinckney Community High School commons, 10255 Dexter- Pinckney Road. ■ What: Benefit for Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston.

This is the event’s 15th year in Pinckney. FILEJAMIE CHARBENEAUPISELLA. THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS ago,” Harris said. 'lickets for the Empty Bowls Dinner are available at the door for $10 for adults, $5 for children 5-18 and $25 for a family of four. Children under 5 are free. Every dollar raised equals three m e ^ donated to hungry families, Karfonta said. Nearly three dozen area restaurants donate upwards of 300 gallons of homemade soups for the supper. Everyone there gets to take home a oneof- a-kind clay bowl created by fourth- through 12th-graders. Performances from student actors and a silent art auction also are on tap. New to this year’s dinner is a mural that children attending the event can help create on the spot. Hamburg Township artist Katherine Larson will be helping out. In its 15th year, Pinckney’s Empty Bowls Dinner is the food pantry’s longest-running charitable event in the county, Karfonta said. It has raised more than $112,000 for Gleaners so far. “This is an event where those in the community can help bring a greater quality of life to others in their community,” Karfonta said. “It ’s proof that people can come together and create hope.” L e a n n e S m ith c a n b e r e a c h e d a t ism ith ® iiv 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 1 .

According to Pat Davis, service development leader at U rgent Care Center at St. Joseph Mercy Woodland in Genoa Township, there has been a significant increase this winter of people with snow and ice-related injuries. “We had 20 slip-and-fall injuries in just one night,” said D avis, who said her office does not keep track of the numbers from year to year of such injuries. “The weather has caused an increase of injuries this winter. We’re seeing people who fall on black ice, elderly people who are going outside in bad weather and fall, more injuries from weather-related car accidents, and injuries from winter activities like sledding and ice skating.” The National Safety Council advises people to slow down and plan ahead and allow sufficient time to get from place to place when winter weather conditions prevail. The council estimates that there have been more than 300,000 injuries this winter to people at work, walking to and from parking lots and between buildings. The council suggests the following when walking on snow or ice: ■ Wear shoes or boots that provide traction on snow and ice: rubber and neoprene composite. Avoid plastic and leather soles. ■ Wear head covering that allows you to see where you are going and side to side for traffic. ■ Use special care when entering and exiting vehicles; use the vehicle for support. ■ Walk in designated walkways as much as possible. Avoid ice, snow banks, short cuts where snow and ice removal is not feasible. Look ahead when you walk; a sidewalk completely covered with ice may require travel along its grassy edge for traction. When given no choice but to walk on ice, consider the following: ■ Take short steps or shuffle for stability. ■ Bend slightly, walk flatfooted with your center of gravity directly over the feet as much as possible. Be prepared to fall. ■ I f you fall, fall with sequential contacts at your thigh, hip, and shoulder to avoid using your arms to protect against breakage. ■ Bend your back and head forward so you won’t slam your head on the pavement as your feet shoot out fiDm under you.

Amy Felty, Village Clerk 2492644-01 4 A 4 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2008 Investigation continues into hit-and-run incident Man hit while walking on Kress Road, officials say From News Staff Reports A Dearborn Heights man was in critical condition and on life support at press time this week at the University of Michigan Hospital after he was injured in a hit-and-run crash on Fteb. 29 in Hamburg Township. Hamburg Police Chief Steve Luciano said 41-year-old Raymond Marcinak had been drinking at a residence in the township and was apparently walking on or along Kress Road near Imus Drive at about 12:45 a.m. on Feb. 29 when he was struck by a car driven by a 17-year-old Howell area teen. Luciano said the teen apparently did not stop. Police received an anonymous 911 call, believed to be within minutes of the crash, and found Marcinak unconscious. He was suffering from severe head trauma and a significant loss of blood. Luciano said the teen and a parent drove back to the scene about 90 minutes after the crash. Luciano said officers found damage to the right fixint and windshield of the teen’s 1999 Chevy Blazer. Police had interviewed witnesses and still were investigating the incident as of Wednesday morning, Luciano said. Police are looking at restrictions on the teen’s license, such as whether he was allowed to drive at that hour, and were still awaiting the results of the victim’s blood alcohol content, he said. A breath test indicated the teen had not been drinking, Luciano said. He said the teen told police he had been driving someone home from a family gathering when the crash occurred. The teen could face charges from the Livingston County Prosecutor’s Office after police complete their investigation, Luciano said. ECONOMY FROM A1 Outlook for development in 2008 remains optimistic developments in Green Oak Township remain undeveloped, although he has had a few nibbles. Bacalis is doing much better with his Arbor Meadows subdivision at Winans Lake and Rickett roads, also in Green Oak Township, where he recently sold two lots. Homes there are in the $300,000 to $400,000 range. However, Bacalis said he remains guardedly optimistic about the future. “We see the light at the end of the tunnel, and expect it will start turning around this summer or fall,” he said. Another downside: “If the buyer wants to sell his home, it could be worth 15-20 percent less than what it was worth a couple of years ago,” Anderson said. Pendleton said the coming year for real estate agents will be a matter of trying to reduce inventory, while counting on the job situation to improve. “Michigan is not out of the woods yet,” she said. The average sale price of homes in Livingston County dropped by 10.2 percent in 2007 to $219,566. And although homes are selling, the number of homes is down; 1,944 homes sold in 2006 and 1,742 in 2007. Also in 2007, foreclosures topped the 1,000 mark in the county. Industry experts predict the real estate sector will level out in 2009. Industrial development Despite the doom and gloom heard elsewhere in Michigan, Livingston County Economic Development Council Director Fred Dillingham said 2008 will be a good year for industrial and business growth in the county. “I ’m a little bullish on 2008, based on the number of projects,” Dillingham said. The EDC director is working on 12 “projects” this year - defined as either companies that are considering coming to the county or expansion by existing firms and companies that are upgrading equipment or adding workers. “That’s pretty good for the first quarter. I ’m really pleased with the activity I see this year,” he said. One significant project going up this year is MS Automotive, which is to break ground this spring on a 150,000-squarefoot manufacturing faciUty in Fowlerville, which will replace a 30,000-square-foot building. MS Automotive, a subsidiary of the German company Maschinenfabrik Spaichingen GmbH, plans to invest more than $21.8 million to develop a manufacturing facility and its North American headquarters in Fowlerville. The project is expected to create more than 100 new jobs at the Fowlerville site and 240 jobs overall. Dillingham said the bulk of industriffi growth is happening on the west side of the county, and for good reason. “There is more land on the (less developed) west side, and it’s cheaper,” he said. Overall, the EDC assisted on 31 projects in 2007, compared with 43 in 2006, which created 650 new jobs. On the other side of the ledger, three companies closed facilities and one relocated. H e estimates the job loss at 210. Another 550 jobs were retained. Commercial development Commercial activity is continuing to be fairly healthy, particularly in pockets such as Hartland Tbwnship and Fowlerville. In Hartland 'Township, three large retail developments are planned in the next one to two years: The Newberry Square mbced-use development, which could have as many as 600 residential units in addition to a large shopping center, Hartland Towne Square and Hartland Marketplace. Hartland Tbwne Square, to go in at the former Oasis site at M-59 and Hartland Road, will consist of about 500,000 square feet of retail space, including a 162,000-square-foot Meijer store. Hartland Marketplace, anchored by a 187,000-squarefoot Wal-Mart Supercenter, will go in where the Hartland Plaza, with its closed Food Town store, is located on M-59 east of US-23. Newberry Place, on both sides of M-59 west of Fenton Road-Pleasant Valley Road, will include 330,000 square feet of retail space plus 258 townhouses, 187 single-family homes (site condos), 96 multifamily units, 70 independent living units and 35 assisted living units. Of the three projects, only the Wal-Mart project has finffi site plan approval from the township. Just outside Brighton, Green Oak Village Place in Green Oak 'Township, which partially opened in October of 2006, experienced its first full year last year, and it was a success, said mall manager Sean Valentino. “In general, the center was up above expectations, and performance was at or above what the stores had projected,” Valentino said. Valentino predicts 2008 will be a good year, too, especially with the expected signing of another refrdler, which will occupy 30,000 square feet of the final, 120,000-square-foot phase of the development, between JC Penney and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Valentino would not identify the store, saying only that it specializes in the “home line.” Another new business, Broadway Steak and Seafood, is coming in next to Cold Stone Creamery, opening in late spring. Green Oak Village Place now has 47 stores. When it’s built out, it will have 65 to 70 stores, Valentino said. In Brighton, there is re tail growth ahead for 2008, including an IH O P to go in where the Lone Star Saloon was located before it closed in the Brighton Towne Square development. Also coming: Starbuck’s and an Olga’s restaurant in a new building to be constructed where LiT Chef is presently located, at Grand River and the Brighton Mall entrance (Best Buy Drive). Developer M a rk Murphy is working on an athletic club to be called “The Club,” which would be located on his Brighton Towne Square-Brighton Towne Place mixed-use development at Challis Road and Grand River. However, because of the economy, the $20 million project wouldn’t take place until 2009, at the earliest. Health care Projections for the health care field in Livingston County show a measured response to the increasing population, with a shortage of doctors, particularly family practitioners. A shortage of specialists is predicted within the next two years. Based on population, the county should have 390 physicians but only has 179 who work full-time in the county, said Maureen Cummings, director of medical staff services for the St. Joseph Mercy Health System. Saint Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Howell is a 136- bed hospital, and together with the Woodland Health Center near Brighton comprise the county’s fifth-largest employer with 800 employees. Spokeswoman Lauren Stokes said there are no plans for expansion or relocation of the county’s only full-service hospital at this tim e . “It ’s been rumored for years, but no decisions have been made,” Stokes said. “The community is growing, and we’re looking at more ways to meet the growth.” The University of Michigan Health System recently spent $6.9 million to buy 32.47 acres of land near its existing Brighton Health Center for development. Spokeswoman Kara Gavin said that there are no immediate plans for the site. Employment Livingston County Michigan Works! Director Bill Sleight said unemployment in the county probably will rise slightly during 2008, to about 6 percent. Overall, Livingston County’s job picture has been brighter than that of the state. Michigan had the highest unemployment rate in the nation last year, at more than 7 percent, whereas Livingston County’s was 5.7 percent for 2007. Sleight said 5,300 adults in the county were out of work last year. “Our labor force has held pretty steady, but we’re certainly not in a growth situation,” Sleight said. “Manufacturing will start to increase in late 2008 or early 2009,” Sleight said. But it won’t necessarily be the higher-paying jobs seen in the past. Sleight expects the best employment prospects for 2008 to be in the retail sector. “Retail is still fairly strong, and I would expect that to continue,” Sleight said. Economic Development Council Director Dillingham calls re tail “a driving factor” in the local economy. “I t is creating decent jobs, and people don’t realize that the service sector pays p retty well, and th ere are a lot of g reat ca re er opportunities for people and opportunities to advance (n re ta il),” D illingham said. “Home building, I expect will continue to be down, although we will see some seasonal spikes, like hiring in the spring,” Sleight said.

I t didn’t faze Corey LeBoeuf, of Ann Arbor. T hen again, she was ju s t m a rr ie d when H e ll froze over on a day th at only comes around every four years. “We’ve both been m a rried before, and we both have said it would be a cold day in h ell before we did it again,” said groom Brian LeBoeuf, of Ann Arbor. “H e re we a re .” T h e LeBoeufs are among 21 couples who tied the knot free on Feb. 29 - Leap Day - in John Colone’s tiny wedding chapel behind his ice cream p arlo r in the Putnam Township h amle t of Hell. Six o ther already m a rried couples also renewed th e ir vows. “This is fun and th a t’s the way we a re ,” Corey said. “I t ’s not something everyone does - getting m a rrie d in H e ll or getting m a rrie d on Leap Day.” She got no arguments from Brian about the day or the ceremony. H e likes th at th e ir re al an n iversary only happens every four years and that h e’s protected from being accused of forgetting the date the rest of the time because the couple could celebrate on e ith e r Feb. 28 or March 1. “I f I screw up on Feb. 28, and she says I forgot our anniversary, I can say, ‘No, I ’m planning something for tomorrow,”’ Brian said. R ick and Roshel Bouma drove in from Grand Rapids to get m a rried in Hell. “We actually met on a March 1, which normally would be today,” Roshel said. “When we heard about this and that it was free, we said, ‘Let’s do it.’” Describing themselves as “spim-of-the-moment, seat-ofthe- pants” people. Dale and Reenie Decker, of Brighton, brought a bunch of their family members with them for their ceremony in Hell. “This is ju s t p erfe ct for us,” D a le said. ■The civil or religious ceremonies were leg itima te and p erform ed by Ann Jarema, of H amburg Township, a nondenominational Christian minister. The idea to have weddings in H e ll on Leap Day, Colone said, came from his recollection th a t people used to call Feb. 29 Sadie Hawkins Day when he was a kid. Sadie Hawkins was the “homeliest gal in the hills” in the “Lil Abner” comic strip drawn by A1 Capp. H e r father, a prominent citizen of Dogpatch, created Sadie Hawkins D ay for his daughter to catch a husband. The day was traditionally celebrated in November, but over time became part of leap year traditions. Dressed in a black tuxedo and snow boots, Colone, also known as Hell Mayor Odum Plenty, gave each couple a cupcake - Devil’s food, of course - complimentary chocolates and champagne, a signed title of ownership to one-square-inch of Hell and a certificate wishing them “one hell of a happy life together.” “Everyone is happy and having fun, and that’s what we like,” Colone said.

A local group of animal lovers is hoping to equip every county em e rgency vehicle with sim ila r life-saving devices for fourlegged patients. Raising money for the masks is the purpose of Sunday’s Open House at B a rk Town USA, 199 Lucy Road, Howell. “T h e re are only a few trucks in the county that have these masks,” said April Hargraves, Bark Town USA owner and trainer. “Wouldn’t it be awful, if the one tru c k th at responded didn’t have these masks on it.” She already has received more than 36 requests for the mask set, and has only contacted one-third of the county’s fire departments. At $55 each, she needs to raise a minimum of $2,000. Ten sets have already been purchased using donations. She appreciates the many firefighters who have gone back into a burning building to rescue a pet, only to have the animal la te r die because the human oxygen mask was not compatible with the p et’s face and lung capacity. “These masks could mean the difference of saving someone’s p et,” she said. “For a lot of people, losing your pet is equivalent losing your child.” Each set includes three masks, -with the smallest size designed to fit a bird and the largest mask designed for a St. B e rn ard dog.

Visit www.barktownusa.com. ■ Why: Raise money to purchase and donate animal oxygen mask sets to all emergency vehicles in Livingston County. ■ Inspiration: "Several years ago, a friend had a house fire and lost all her animals. It's always weighed very heavily on me." - April Hargraves, owner of Bark Town USA. ■ Type of activities: Nail trims, a visit with a pet psychic, Easter photos, canine first aid/CPR demonstration, canine herbal remedies, canine good citizen training, canine acupuncture, tours of Bark Town USA, food and refreshments for humans and canines. ■ Details: 517-548-9917. ible w ith oxygen tanks carried on emergency vehicles, are washable and designed for reuse. Bark Town's Breathe Easy Campaign, as Hargraves has named it, is a new concept to Livingston County, but not to Michigan. Using a model established through animal advocates H .E .L .P Animals in Orange County, Fla., Hargraves heard about a fundra is er in Trenton, Mich, which gave h er the idea to bring the campaign to Livingston County. “I f we can save ju s t one animal in Livingston County than it would be well worth the effort,” she said. Activities for the open house, which runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a re meant to appeal to a large base of dog owners. Some of the featured activities include a pet psychic, animal first a id /C PR demonstrations, nail trims, canine acupuncture demonstrations, canine good citizen testing and a discussion on herbal alterna tives for your pet. E a s te r photos for the animals w ill also be available. Linda Nichols, a Howell resident and dog trainer for more than 20 years, will be at the open house to answer questions. He r most often asked question is “How can I get my dog to stop doing...?” She helps owners learn to manage their animals’ environment and ways to prevent unwanted behavior. He r goal is to help dog owners “go away with ideas they can use.” Deanna Swan, of Cohoctah Township, w ill lead tours of Ba rk Town USA and explain th e ir day care services. She said th at as more and more people are welcoming th e ir dogs into the homes, the likelihood th at they could get caught inside a house fire is h ig h er than before. “Dogs a re not chained up in the ya rd anymore, so if th ere is a fire, there is a g re a te r chance they w ill be in the house.” To make a donation, visit Sunday’s open house or call 517-548-9917.

If that’s not something to cheer about.... So, in keeping with that spirit, here are a some other things to cheer about in the community. Cheers: To Carolyn Arking and Kim Witt for continuing the Positive People for Howell Public Schools community group (on the Web at www.positivepeopleforhps. com). The mission of the group is to “make a positive difference in our school district through example, as well as helping others become a more active part of the district.” If ever there were a school district that could use some positive vibes right now, it’s Howell. The great things about this movement is that it’s coming from parents. Cheers: To Brighton Mayor Kate Lawrence for reconstituting the city’s Arts and Culture Commission to increase public awareness and enlist support for the promotion of the arts in the Brighton area. One of the projects this group must tackle is round two of the downtown Brighton Biennial sculpture display. That project has made downtown a more interesting place to work, live and visit. Cheers: To Hamburg Township employees - more than a dozen - who donated unused sick time and vacation days to Catt Brandenburg, a township clerk’s office employee who is battling breast cancer. He r co-workers also organized a fundraising dinner and auction to help the 37-year-old mother of two. Cheers: To special education teacher Catherine “Cat” Kelly, who is making a movie with her students at Howell’s Three Fires Middle School. This creative teacher is working with her Howell Hollywood Kids to create a movie that will show others that they are as smart, creative and excited to be involved in an extracurricular activity as any student would be. What a cool project. Opening night promises to be quite a spectacle. Cheers: To all of those bowlers who have thrown a perfect game. Who knew there were so many bowlers capable of getting 13 strikes in a row? Perfection is something many of us strive for and very few of us achieve. Cheers: To Erik Reichenbach, for showing us his survival skills on the reality television series “Survivor” this season. I t ’s been a blast watching him compete each week, and his hometown sure is proud of this Pinckney High grad’s efforts. If you want to join the conversation about his Thursday night appearances on network television, check out our blog at www.mlive.com/livingstoncommunitynews and click on the “Survivor from H ell” icon. Cheers: To the more than two dozen “Everyday Heroes” who w ere honored recently by the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross for their heroic efforts in reaching out to help others. Among those honored were a 911 operator who went the extra miles, police officers who risked their own safety to help others, school children who heard a man’s cries for help and alerted adults, and a dog that regularly donated blood to help other canines. They didn’t do it for the recognition, but shining the light on their efforts helps us all understand what our neighbors are willing to do to help each another.

LON HORWEDEL/THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNINTY NEWS Michigan Pond Hockey Classic players do their best to warm up prior to a game on Whitmore Lake this winter. Warming up has been a tough task through this winter, although w eather numbers collected in Howell show that overall precipitation - as well as snowfall - was down in 2007 compared to 2006. The story in numbers F r o m e v e n t a t te n id a n c e t o b ir th s , d e a th s a n d w e a th e r , n u m b e r s f r o m t h e p a s t y e a r a re lo g g e d , c o m p a r e d OUTLOOK 2008 F eel like a number? T h e re ’s good reason. We have more of th em than ever helping to define us. There are the two or more phone numbers needed to reach us at home, work or wherever. There’s that Social Security number we are advised to guard more closely than ever. There are credit card numbers that we can’t seem to go a day without using. The list goes on and on. Today, we present our annual numbers- of-the-year package. We take a look back at some of the numbers that help define Livingston County while we look ahead at the coming year with stories that focus on the economic outlook for the region. The numbers tell a mixed story. While the number of births declined slightly for the third year in a row, the number of deaths rose slightfy from 2006. The number of building permits issued for single-family homes dropped to almost nothing compared to three years ago while the number of homes heading into foreclosure has slgrocketed over the same period of time. The number of vehicle passes sold at Kensington M etropark increased 7.8 percent last year. That’s not a surprise to park superintendent Dick Shafer, who says the park gets more use when the local economy struggles. The n um b e r listed here cover items ranging fi-om public school enrollment and canoe rentals to the number of misdemeanor complaints liquor license transfers. - Rick Fitzg e ra ld , m a n a g in g e d ito r Passages F o r a l l o f L iv in g s to n C o u n ty .

From the left are Lions Brittany Henry, Katherine Kehoe, Lindsey Thomas, Chelsea Allen, Sarah Bemiss, Lindsay Heikkinen and in the back, coach Fred Ringrose, holding the trophy. “Awesome.” “Unbelievable.” “Amazing.” “Unexplainable.” The adjectives just kept rolling out of Chelsea Allen’s mouth. She couldn’t help but gush over her experience last weekend, leading the South Lyon girls bowling team to the Division I state title Feb. 29 in Muskegon. Last week was a remarkable one for South Lyon athletics. First, senior Jeff Thompson wins the school’s first individual state title, capturing the slalom ski championship Feb. 25. Now, the Lion bowlers can celebrate as champions, a first for the school, something the more heralded football program hasn’t been able to deliver. “Mostly, our school is about JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News football,” says Allen, who also advanced to the state semifinals individually March 1. “We don’t get a lot of attention, even though we got (a tie for) first in the KVC the last two years. We never got attention. I ’m hoping this will bring more attention.” The Lions defeated Walled Lake Central, 1546 to 1533, by jumping out to an early lead with their baker games.

Teeters coached a number of Highlanders, including Josh Grabijas and B re tt Chapman, last season when they were p art of the H a rtlan d co-op. “The y are w ithout a doubt the best firs t-y e a r team in the state in many years,” Teeters said.

Gymnasts focus on individual state competition No team in finals, but coach will guide 4 area qualifiers at Plymouth Canton B BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News For the first time in more than a decade, Nancy Gregory won’t be taking a team to the Michigan High School ^ Athletic Association gymnas- " tics state finals. Gregory, who coaches Howell and Brighton gymnasts at the High Flyers Gymnastics Academy, hopes the change will work to her advantage. Instead of having to compete in today’s team competition at Plymouth Canton High School, Gregory’s four state qualifiers -H o w e ll’s Alexis Johnson, Monica Cauley and Amanda Rohkohl and Brighton’s Tiffeny Wysocki - will be rested for S aturday’s individual competition. “I t may be easier just to compete one day,” Gregory said. “I t ’s tough to compete late Friday, then come back Saturday. Usually they are up for it, but it can’t hurt just to have one competition.” Johnson, a senior qualified in the Division I all-around, said she has mixed feelings about missing the team competition. Johnson has struggled all season with a pulled groin, but she’s finally feeling healthy. “It will be an advantage because I won’t be sore (for Saturday), but it would have been nice to make it as a team,” she said. H e r main goal is to nail a new bars routine she’s been perfecting. “She’s almost got the whole thing together,” Gregory said. “She’s hoping to be ready for the state meet. It will be suspenseful, but it will be fun.” Rohkohl’s just happy to be competing on the beam in Division 2. She fractured her wrist snowboarding over Christmas break and just got her cast off in time for regionals March 1. She practiced with one arm all winter, working on the beam and .some tumbling. “I t does hurt a little bit (on beam), just when I bend it, but that’s when it gives me the least amount of pain,” she said. Cauley and Wysocki will be competing against each other in the vault in Division 2, but Cauley’s top priority is the floor exercise. “Cauley’s floor (routine) is dynamite,” Gregory said. “I hope she finishes near the top.” J a s o n D e e g a n c a n b e r e a c h e d a t jd e e g a n ® 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 i 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 2 . Lindsay Heikkenen, Lindsey Thomas, Sarah Bemiss and Brittany Henry held up just enough in the singles to wan. “It was exciting to say the least,” coach Fred Ringrose says. “Everybody, at one point, came through. Every bowler did their share. Nobody was dominating. Everybody was picking each other up. The weekend was a blur, to say the least. I don’t think it’s sunk in yet.” Ironically, Ringrose thought it was his boys who would win it all early on. The Lions qualified as the No. 1 team but lost in the quarterfinals. Allen said she knew something special was going on after the girls’ qualifying, where the Lions were fourth. The Lions hammered their Kensington Valley Conference arch rival. Milford, in the quarterfinals by 166 pins and beat the No. 1 qualifier, Davison, in the semis. “We believed,” Allen says. The Lions stole the headlines from an otherwise impressive performance by local bowlers. The Brighton boys advanced to the quarterfinals. Five individuals advanced out of qualifying: Howell’s Kaleb Rice and Trevor Smith, Brighton’s James Koss and Tony McN amara and South Lyon’s Josh Harper. Smith lost to the eventual state champion in the quarterfinals, while Rice fell in the semis to the eventual runner-up. Jessica Rice of Howell also advanced to the round of 16 for the girls.

ELIYAHU GURFINKEL.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Grant Pizzo, of Brighton, seen here wrestling with Corey Leonard, of Holt, at 112 pounds at districts, is one of two Brighton state quaiifiers who wili wrestle at The Palace of Auburn Hills this weekend. Wrestlers prepared for state Big wins bolster confidence BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News In wrestling, sometimes image is everything. Hartland coach Todd Cheney has seen it many times in his long tenure, an instance when a match is lost even before it begins. When the opponent is ranked, or has earned a chaAipionship reputation, many wrestlers freak out before they step on the mat. “I t ’s intimidating to w restle a kid with a name,” Cheney said. “When you get an opportunity to knock them off, it ’s mentally a huge stepping stone for people. A lot of people don’t think they can be state champions until they beat these people.” Two Eagles have taken that step in recent weeks, setting themselves up for a long run in the Michigan High School Athletic Association individual wrestling state finals this weekend a t The Palace of Auburn Hills. The tournament began Thursday and runs until Saturday. Ha rtlan d ’s John Corder (46-7) beat Holt’s Mitch Zajac (41-2) in the Eagles’ team loss SEE WRESTLING,82 Hartland has six wrestlers qualified for the Division I state individual finals.

JASON DEEGAN,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS B 2 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2008 - ' iFttSS WRESTLING FROM B1 Competitors ready for shots at titles in the state quarterfinals Feb. 29 in Battle Creek. Hartland heavyweight D.J. Chameski (53-2) ^so earned a big w in last weekend, beating Holt’s Curtis Ferguson, but it was his upset two weeks ago at individual regionals that caused a stir. He pinned Mike Martin, a University of Michigan football recruit from Novi (Detroit) Catholic Central who was undefeated and the defending state champion. Hartland has had a heavyweight at states six straight years, but Charneski wants to prove he stands out. “H e ’s a great kid, great leader,” Cheney said. “H e ’s probably the best in-shape heavyweight we’ve ever had.” The Eagles have celebrated three state champions each of the past two years. Could Corder, Charneski and Jeremy Bommarito be this y e a r’s trio? “We’ve been real spoiled with six state champs in two years. To add to it would be great,” Cheney said. Bommarito will gun for re peat title at 145 pounds. He is 19-0 in his weight class this year, 56-2 overall. Cheney said the Bommarito of today would beat last y e a r’s state champion. “A year of experience, that’s the biggest thing,” Cheney said. “Physically, he’s more mature and stronger.” Brighton coach Sam Amine believes his two qualifiers, Grant Pizzo (42-3 at 112) and Kenny Richmond (44-5 at 125), will be dangerous foes for anyone. “They both have a great shot to be a state champion, if not a state placer,” Amine said. “A lot has to do with things that have to go their way. They are two good, explosive w restlers.” Howell sophomore Travis Rife (56-4) is among the favorites at 103 pounds. He could end up wrestling Ha rtlan d ’s Nick Monitz (46-8) or Chase Snider (29-7). Rife said he’s bigger than last year, which helps him overpower smaller wrestlers in his class. “I ’m practicing hard. I want a gold medal,” he said.

SWIMMING FROM B1 Large contingent competing in finals state finals a t Oakland U n iversity in Rochester. They highlight a large local contingent from Brighton, H a r tland, Pinckney and South Lyon who w ill compete in today’s preliminaries. Kasprzak wants to end the season on a high note. “I ’m definitely pleased with how fa r w e’ve come,” he said. “I had a goal of solnething all-sta te out of this year. Josh (Grabijas) has put a lot of hay in the barn over the season. We’ll see if he can do it.” T h a t’s aiming high, considering ju s t two local relays and two swimmers advanced to Saturday’s final heats last year. T h e top eight placers earn all-state. Training in a new pool with some new teammates under a new coach has gone b etter than expected fo r Grabijas. H e w ill swim th re e relays and has posted a personalbest time in his signature event, the 500 freestyle. “I started out thinking it would not go great. I t ’s tu rned out re a lly good,” he said. Chapman, who w ill compete in three relays and the 100 freestyle, said the former Hartland swimmers like him had to “set an example” to the younger athletes by training hard. “T h e re are a lot of new guys who pulled through,” he said. “They did an awesome job. We were quite a surprise.” Meanwhile, the Eagles, who tied for 28th a t states last season, could finish as high as sixth, said Teeters. “We don’t want them to be nervous,” he said. “We have nothing to lose, everything to gain. We are H a rtlan d. I t ’s not like we have years of tradition .” Teeters remembers w a lk ing into the state finals three years ago fo r the firs t time with some of his athletes. “They were so oht of th e ir element,” he recalled. “Now we can swim w ith anybody.” Keeping relays alive is what ultimately determines which teams fare well in the overall standings, but there are plenty of individuals to watch. The 100 breaststroke is loaded with three swimmers from Ha rtland, including Will Chodus, who was 10th last year, and two from South Lyon. Pinckney’s Austin Munn could advance among the top 16 in both the 50 and 100 fi^estyle.

The Eagles, who secured the state’s best score, a 799.812, in winning their fifth straight regional title at Brighton last weekend, are using a different approach to prepare for the state finals. Hartland coach Paula Cunningham said the Eagles have put too much pressure on themselves the past two years, causing critical thirdround falls. “I tried something different to relieve some of the stress of the finals,” she said. “Instead of saying we’re shooting for the top three or top five, we are just focused on doing the best we can.” Cunningham said the Eagles, who have five seniors mixed with five freshmen and a ton of juniors, have “met aU my expectations” this season. “They have come even further than I had hoped,” she said. The Bulldogs, who scored a 751.418 to finish second at re gionals behind Hartland, have been steady over the years at the state finals, finishing eighth, seventh and eighth the past three seasons.
