The city hopes to have the funding plan nailed down by the end of the meeting. The project - which could take anywhere from three to 10 years to complete depending on available funding - targets almost 11 miles of the city’s 34 miles of roadways, the water treatment facility, the north water tower as well as several miles of water and sewer lines. “For the last 15 years, the city has done a good job of road reconstruction by leveraging grants,” said City Manager Shea Charles. “Well, now the last 10-11 miles that haven’t been touched need major rehab (road, sewer and storm drain improvements) and they are the most expensive part of the city, and the grant dollars aren’t out there.” To complete the job, using the least amount of city tax dollars, department heads are working on a lowinterest loan application through the state’s Drinking Water Revolving F\md. The loan offers a 2.5 percent interest rate for three years. Applicants can submit requests every five years, and successful applicants are guaranteed funding for three years. According to Deputy City Manager Terry Wilson, the money could cover costs associated with work at the city’s wastewater treatment facility, the tower, and deteriorating water lines beneath sections of the deteriorating streets. The bottom line: Up to $13 million of the city’s infinstructure improvement plan could be funded through this state loan. Application deadline is May 1. Initial plans called for a 10-year implementation schedule, citing the average annual cost of construction at $2.2 million, but staff also looked at a seven-year implementation plan, which would require $3.2 million in funds annually. Since staff ran those numbers. City Council members have asked for numbers for an accelerated program of three and five years. “I like the compressed time frame,” said Mayor Pro tern Steven Manor. Explaining that any construction of this magnitude involves a significant amount of clutter throughout the city, he would rather see everything done as quickly as possible. “But there are still a lot SEE STREETS, A2 Howell Deputy City Manager Terry Wilson shows one of the large potholes that can be found around the city - this one on Lake Street.

SONIA LGOTTFRiED,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS B r e in e r c o u ld r e t u r n t o a j o b However, he might not be superintendent BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News Superintendent Chuck Breiner, who was placed on administrative leave last month, could soon re turn to work in the Howell Public Schools. Whether he will return as superintendent still has not been determined, said Board of Education President Phil Westmoreland. “ (Breiner) has got a lot of talents, he’s done a lot for the school system,” Westmoreland said Monday night after a school board meeting. However, just w hat Breiner’s job will be remains unclear. “Our belief is he’s going to return in some capacity,” the board president said. “W hether it’s as superintendent is premature.” At Breiner’s request, the school board Monday voted unanimously not to extend the superintendent’s contract by another year. Breiner’s five-year contract is set to expire June 30,2012. If the board had not acted by March 31, his contract would have automatically been extended another year. Westmoreland said both sides are still involved in renegotiating Breine r’s contract, which gives him a base pay of $140,000, plus additional longevity pay. Westmoreland said a ttorneys for the two sides are working to resolve the m a tter quickly. “We want to have it done by the end of the month,” he said. While the board voted not to extend Breiner’s contract, it also voted not to renew the contract of another administrator. ■ Following an executive session, the school board voted SEE BREINER,A4 P in c k n e y d is t r ic t t o c lo s e , H a m b u r g E le m e n t a r y S tu c d e n ts l ik e ly t o b e r e lo c a t e d t o C o u n t r y a n d L a k e la n d E l e m e n t a r y s c h o o ls BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News On paper it’s all dollars and cents, but to those affected, the closing of Hamburg Elementary School is more like a death in the family. “Nothing in this district has the name Hamburg anymore,” said Mary Jane Bowers, who has worked at the school for 38 years and is one of five generations of her family to attend classes there. “I t breaks my heart to think they’ll leave this building empty.” In an emotional but unanimous vote March 6, the Pinckney Community Schools Board of Education agreed to close Hamburg Elementary at the end of this school year to cut about $350,000 out of next year’s predicted $1.9 million budget deficit.

IN BRIEF Brighton restores administrative post The Brighton school board approved the reinstatement of an assistant superintendent position at its meeting Monday. The position will be called executive director of administrative services and will include three primary objectives: To restore support for academic programs, to align human resources work with both the academic and operational needs of the district, and to reduce the number of direct reports to the superintendent so that more focus can be provided to building administration. Superintendent Jim Craig, who continues to handle many of the finance duties of his former job as assistant superintendent of finance, said the combination of responsibilities is too large for one person to do well. He said the new position will focus on both the financial challenges of the district as well as the overall management and direction of the district. It is not included in the district’s adopted budget; the salary has yet to be determined. -L is a C a ro lin INSIDE RV park planned Chemung Hills golf course property could become an RV park under a proposal.

A bridge between Pinckney, Algeria S o c ia l s tu d ie s p r o g r a m in te r a c t iv e BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News H igh school students in the Algerian province of Blida don’t know much about fast food and drive-through restaurants. Most of them don’t even have cars. Then again, Pinckney Community High School students don’t know what Berber tribal music sounds like, and most of them don’t speak two or three languages. By the end of the school year, teenagers in both places will know a lot more about each other and where they live because of a unique interactive social studies lesson developed by Michigan State University’s College of Education. “I tell my students that the best learning is done through travel,” said Pinckney High social studies teacher Shane Clary. “In a way, that’s what they’re doing.” Instead of using planes, trains or automobiles, juniors and seniors in Clary’s western world history class are visiting their Algerian counterparts this semester via computer, video-conferencing and Internet blogging. “It ’s an awesome and unbelievable opportunity to be able to talk directly with kids from another country,” Clary said. “It ’s easier than learning from a textbwk, and it’s much more interesting.” Pinckney is one of several Michigan schools participating in E3Link, a program originated by the U.S. State Department’s Middle East Partnership Initiative in 2005 to help develop an understanding of culture, community and country among students in the U.S. and the North African country of Algeria. “It ’s important to do this,” said Jenna Craft, a junior in Clary’s class. “As Americans, we think we’re the best. This makes us see what other countries don’t have and that makes us more grateful of what we do have.” U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, visited Pinckney High when students from both countries connected for the first time in a video-conference get-acquainted session. There were a few technical difficulties, but the experience was eye-opening to students in both places. “I have to admit that I really don’t know anything about Algeria or Algerian people,” said Pinckney senior Ashley Peapples. “I bet I ’ll learn a lot.” Students in both classrooms shared brief descriptions of their communities with each other. They talked about what they liked to do in their spare time and the differences between their music and parties and celebrations. “I think they’ll discover as they go along that they have a lot more in common than they don’t,” Rogers said.

The teen was arre sted last month and charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and is lodged at a juv en ile detention center, said B rig h ton Police Chief Tom Wightman. The incident was reported Feb. 26 and the teen was a rrested, Wightman said. H e is suspected of molesting the two girls at a day care his mother operated at h er home in the 900 block of F a irw a y 'Trails in Brighton, the police chief said. The day care is no longer in operation, he said. Police continue investigating the possibility of o ther victims a t the day care. Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse is seeking to charge the teen as an adult. Morse could not be reached for a comment. STREETS FROM A1 Financing pending for city's proposal of ‘ifs.’ This is all contingent on the Goan) approval,” he said. Even if the state loan is approved and the time frame is set between three and five years, the loan would only cover up to half of the project, requiring City Council to make up the difference through the sale of bonds or by levying the city’s full millage for a limited time. Howell has a total authorized city millage rate of 16 mills, but only levies 14.94 mills. If the state loan request is denied or City Council members opt for the seven- to 10-year time frame, the city will have to look at the sale of bonds or a special road millage. City officials say a 3-mill levy, if approved by voters, would generate the necessary $1.2 million a year to do the work over 10 years. City staff will know by fall of 2008 ff the loan is approved for the local project. I f so and the city' sticlffi to the seven-year project time frame, the typical increase in residential water rates will fall between $8 and $10 every two-month billing cycle with rate increases beginning potentially in 2009. I f the loan is not approved and the city wants to expedite the project, city council will re-evaluate different models for funding the program. Aside from the financial implications for residents, navigating the city during construction could become difficult. Depending on the time frame set for the project, multiple road projects could occur throughout the city at the same time, beginning spring 2009. Wilson has identified eight project areas, encompassing sections of 51 streets. Some of these local projects will happen at the same time as the East Sibley Street project, already funded and scheduled for 2009.

At Parker High School, a sophomore girl was allegedly attacked in the cafeteria Feb. 29 by four other girls who, the day before, had posted a notice of the attack on the social networking Web site myspace.com. The father of the victim, L a rry Buckmaster, told the Board of Education this week that his daughter was “viciously attacked,” with her hair “torn out,” her nose ring “ripped out” and her eyes blackened. Buckmaster said an assistant principal had heard the day before the attack that an assault was being planned and warned the girls not to carry it out. The girls denied they were planning anything, Buckmaster was told. Acting Superintendent Lynn Parrish said both matters are being thoroughly investigated. “The investigation continues, and I expect a fair and just outcome,” she said. Another parent complained to the board that her son, a special education student at Highlander Way Middle School, was assaulted at the school just hours before the board meeting. “He was kicked or punched in the face” by another boy, said D enise Bible. Afterward, Bible’s son said, “Mom, that was really frightening,” she told the board. Bible said her son was taken to a hospital for X-rays to determine whether he had suffered any broken bones. Parrish said 'Tuesday that the assailant, a 14-year-old eighth-grader, has been suspended, pending the outcome of the investigation. Parrish said state law mandates that a student involved in an assault be suspended for a minimum of 180 days. Board of Education President Phil Westmoreland and Parrish apologized to the families for the attacks.

IN BRIEF Brighton City to improve electrical service The city of Brighton has launched a $125,000 project to improve electrical service that will make it easier to host events in the downtown business district. Problems encountered in the past, such as food vendors not being able to connect their electrical equipment to powe r sources at downtown festivals, should be eliminated with the upgrades, according to city officials. M a tt Schindewolf, the city Department of Public Services director, said 220-volt plugs will be installed along Main Street. The project also will involve electrical upgrades to the municipal parking lot at 200 N. F irs t St. and the North Street parking lot at North and West streets. “Everything will be done well ahead of the civic event season,” Schindewolf said. Crampton Electric, of Fowlerville, was awarded the low bid to perform the work, which was to begin March 10.

Ohio couple wins Moola grand prize An Ohio couple with re la tives in Livingston County was the grand prize winner in the annual Grea ter Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce Big Moola Ball, March 1 at Crystal Gardens Banquet Center in Genoa Township. Kim and Scott Oglesbee of Piqua, Ohio, won the $10,000 top prize, and M a rk Jackson of Brighton took the second prize of $5,000. An additional $5,000 in other prizes was also awarded.

Chamber Executive Dire cto r Pam McConeghy said the atmosphere at the smaller venue provided a special ambiance. “I t was a nice, warm, intimate gathering,” she. said. The Big Moola Ball was a sellout, with 800 tickets sold, and McConeghy said the chamber could easily have sold more. The proceeds aren’t known yet, but McConeghy predicted the amount of money raised will be simila r to previous years. M c Coneghy said the event will again be held at Crystal Gardens next year. Howell Adult business law up for comment Howell residents will have a chance to comment on the city’s new adult business ordinance during the March 19 Planning Commission meeting. The commission will answer questions before sending the proposed ordinance to the Howell City Council for adoption. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. The 45-page document is designed to replace the city’s old ordinance that consisted of a couple of paragraphs, subject to interpretation. Language is included to re flect current legislation and enforcement so that en trepreneurs looking to set up shop inside the city are held to the city’s highest standard possible, and subject to penalty if illegitimate activity occurs. Members of the planning commission took on the project after a recommendation of Howell Police Chief George Basar. The public hearing will be in the council chambers at City Hall, 611 E.

State Rep. Chris Ward, RGenoa Township, arranged the meeting, along with Howell Public Schools As- ^ sociate Superintendent for Business Rick Terres. Representatives of school districts from Ihaverse City to the Plymouth-Canton, who believe they have been given the short shrift in per-pupil funding, were present. They are part of a group called Citizens for Equity (www.citizensforequity. org), formed to eliminate the fu n ^ g imbalance. A large number of districts - including Howell, Pinckney, Fowlerville and Whitmore Lake in the L iv ingston County are a - are in a larg e group of districts getting the lowest funding of $7,204 per pupil. B rig h ton ($7,357) and H a rtlan d ($7,317) get slightly more. In contrast, Bloomfield Hills receives $12,268 in combined state and local funding per student. B ir mingham gets $12,188 per student and Ann Arbor, $9,667. Those amounts include a local millage - in Ann Arbor’s case a 4.7-mill levy - that generates an extra $1,234 per student on top of the state per-pupil aid. What educators in Livingston County say is unfair is that these districts were exempted when Proposal A went into effect in 1994 to replace the local property tax as the primary method of funding public education. The result is they have local millages that augment state funding, whereas districts not exempted are not allowed to levy ad itio n al millages. T h e re is one exception, th a t being if all K-12 districts in a county u nite to get approved a countywide “enhancement” millage (lim ited to 3 mills). Such a proposal was tried in L iv ingston County, and failed, in 2005. M an y feel one fa ir way to eventually gain equal funding is the so-called “2X ag re em en t” which would give districts a t the bottom a $216 per-pupil increase in the coming school y e a r and those a t the top, $108. T h a t’s the way it was done last year, when low-funded districts received a $96 increase and the upper echelon got $48. In fact, 2X is p a rt of Gov. J en n ife r G ranholm’s p ro posed state aid package for K-12 public education for the fiscal y e a r beginning Oct. 1. Ward is confident it will pass. “I th in k it w ill be in place for (the 2008-09) budget year, and w e’re try in g to get it into the law p erm anently,” he says. The plan has been endorsed by the How ell Area Chamber of Commerce board. “Quality schools a re a key component of an exception community,” Chamber Pre sid en t P at Convery said in a press release announcing the vote. But Terres says the higherfunded group, called the THCounty Alliance for Public Education, has lobbyists working to defeat the 2X plan. “Their lobbyists are working to get that language out of tiie state aid bill, and we’ll have to involve ourselves ... as well,” he says. Linda Moskalik, Pinckney Community Schools’ assistan t superintendent fo r finance and operations, isn’t optimistic the 2X formula w ill be approved. “We th in k i t ’s wonderful, and w e thank Chris Ward for stepping up to the plate, but we know the state doesn’t have it ,” she says. Moskalik says Pinckney has been promised a larg e increase in state aid in the past, only to have those hopes dashed, when a fa r lesser amount was finally approved. Another meeting w ill be arrang ed on the issue, a lthough no date has been set.

JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton Area Fire Chief, Martin DeLoach at the soon-to-be completed fire station on Chilson and Beck roads in Genoa Township. New fire station on the way G e n o a T w p . w i l l t h e n h a v e 2 BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News A new fire station in Genoa Township is expected to be operational by the end of the month. Construction began last year on the fire hall, located on Chilson Road at Beck Road, just south of 1-96. Genoa Township is paying for the fire station and will own the building and property, although it will be used by the Brighton A r ^ F ire Department. Once the new fire station is finished, it will give the township two fire stations: The new one, which will provide fire coverage for the west side, and the other, which is itself five years old, on Dorr Road near the township haU. The west side of the township is particularly critical because it covers an area of the township that is more developed commercially with several strip malls and numerous individual stores. “What’s exciting about it is a lot of oiu" responders at (the Dorr Road station) live on that side of the township,” Chief Martin DeLoach said, adding it translates to faster response time. The general contractor on the project is Corrigan Development of Brighton, which was the low bidder. “The final (cost) figure will be about $900,000,” said TownsWp Supervisor Gary McCririe. He said the township did not have to sell bonds for the project and is paying for the fire station out of its general fund. The new, 4,500-square-foot fire station. with a brick exterior, features two long bays, which hold four vehicles from tankers and pumpers to rescue vehicles or four-wheeldrive vehicles. The building also includes an area to wash equipment, a day room, small office, shower areas and a storage area. T\vo firefighters will be stationed there. The Brighton Area Fire Department has needed a new station to protect the west side of the township since the contract with the Howell Area FVe Department expired last July 1. Previously, the two fire departments split Genoa Township coverage, with Howell in charge of the more commercial area nearest to Howell, and the Brighton responsible for the mostly residential eastern portion. “Previously, Genoa Township contracted out part of the services to Brighton and Howell (when Brighton was a city fire department),” DeLoach said. “After the authority was formed (in 2000), in order for Genoa Township to be a full partner, they had to buy a building and truck,” he said. The reason is because Brighton and Brighton Township, the other local governments in the authority, had each provided buildings and equipment, and it is written in the bylaws. The Brighton Area Fire Department is a paid, on-call department with 93 firefighters, including 14 recent graduates of the BAFD Academy. More recruits are expected in the next month or so, when another batch of trainees graduates.

Developers withdraw zoning request P la n s h a (J b e e n p u t f o r t h f o r M e i j e r s t o r e from News staff reports Developers repres en ting Grand Rapids-based M e ije r Inc. have withdrawn th e ir request to have nearly 35 acres of farm lan d east of Pinckney rezoned from large agricultural operation to large-scale commercial, said Putnam Township Supervisor Ron Rau. No reason was given for the withdrawal, Rau said, but the March 26 and April 9 public hearings scheduled to get citizens’ input on the request have been canceled. Representatives from Portage- based Midwest Realty Group and Atwell-Hicks of Ann Arbor met with the township’s Planning Commission Jan. 30 to introduce plans for a 190,000-square-foot store fronted by a convenience store and gas station. Rezoning of the land, located off M-36 between Peaceful Valley and Meadow Lane drives, would be necessary before building could begin. M e ije r Inc. had been negotiating with property owner Ivan Green for about 104 acres of land at the site. The purchase was to be conditional on the rezoning of the 35 acres. *100 BEFORE 6rn SUN to THU TUESDAY »1.SO AFTER 6>m1aU SHOWS 50< E I t t FRI-SATH.75 AFTER 6pm I AM LEGEND 2:404:50 9:45 P6I3 ^ MAD MONEY 12:30 7:15 P613 t ATONEMENT 12:45 3:45 6:45 9:30 R ALVIN AND THE CtHPMMKS 1:00 3:00 SKX) 7:00 9:00 P6 ENCHANTED 12:30 2:50 5:10 7:30 9:50 PC RV park proposed at Chemung Hills G o l f c o u r s e o w n e r s s e e k c h a n g e , f o l l o w i n g d e n i a l o f r e z o n i n g BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News Owners of the Chemung H ills Golf Course in Oceola Township have again approached the township, this time w ith plans to tu rn the 156-acre parcel a t 3125 Golf Club Road from an 18-hole golf course into a year-round recreational vehicle park. T he township last N o vember denied a request to rezone the land to build a housing subdivision. Oceola Township Supervisor Bill Bamber said he was not surprised by the request from Chemung H ills P ro p erties, including principal owner Simone Mau ro and developer Spirro Trajcdvski. “I had been told about it two to th re e months ago,” he said, “not long a fte r ” the applicant’s request to rezone the property w as denied. Received Feb. 29, the p re lim in a ry site plan calls for 686 RV pads at the south end of the property w ith 107 rustic cabins located to the northeast. En gin eerin g designs also include a water park, batting cages, sm aller golf course, basketball court, softball diamond and soccer fields, w ith several acres of open space separating the overnight accommodations. Trajcdvski said this new application is “serious” and was “not due to anything that happened in the past.” “I t would be my second RV p a rk in Michigan,” he said. His firs t location on Lake Huron in Port Sanillac, was open year-round for the first y e a r in 2007. T ha t park, which he has owned for five years, is profitable. According to Bamber, a RV p a rk is one of the p e rm itte d uses u nd er the township’s m a ste r plan, a document used by township leaders to guide fu ture development. T he e a r lie r p ro posal to put housing on the property conflicted w ith the ma ste r plan. M au ro ’s e a rlie r request to rezone the p ro pe rty so that it could be developed for 286 homes, centered on the argument th a t he could not make the golf club p ro fitable, in p a rt due to the drop in revenue during colder months. Trajcdvski said his proposed RV park could generate revenue year-round. “RVing is p re tty much->a nine-month season in M ich igan, but with some of the newer, upscale parks th ere a re year-round amenities th a t provide for w in te r re c re ation as w e ll,” he said. T h a t is the type of site he would like to have locally. Waldenwoods Resort and Conference C ente r in H a r tland Township offers gated storage space for m em b ers’ RVs during the w in te r months, generating some income through monthly or annual re n ta l fees. I t is unknown yet w h e th e r the Oceola site would store RVs if the township grants approval to build the park. An Ap ril 10 public h e a ring w ill be held before the Planning Commission, when neighbors w ill be invited to attend and h e a r more about the plan. Commission members could act on the p re lim in a ry site plan a t th at m e e ting, moving it forward to township trustees for review or neg otiatin g ’ plan a lte ra tions. T he th ird option, one the commission has used often with this applicant, is to table discussion and action for fu rth e r review. Bamb er is expected to be in the audience a t that h earing, along with the 25-plus homeowners who live w ith in 300 feet of the golf club’s property line.

We’re losing part of our community.” Monday was the first day of classes at the school after the decision was made to close it, as teachers spent March 7 in professional development. The mood was somber, but the staff is intent on staying positive, said Principal Alicia P ^ o n s . “Life goes on wdiether we like it or not,” Parsons said. “We’re just maldng sure that we celebrate all the wonderful things this school has done with the community and for the community and making sure the students know this is not bad.” Notifications of the school’s closing are being mailed to parents of all current students who would have returned there next fall. Discussions regarding the possible relocation of Parsons and the teaching staff, if possible, will begin soon, said Superintendent Dan Danosly. Hamburg Elementary was built in 1950 and is the district’s life goes on whether we like it or not. We're just making sure that we celebrate all the wonderful things this school has done Principal Alicia Parsons second oldest building next to the Village Education Center in downtown Pinckney. It was Hamburg’s only school before Hamburg and Pinckney consolidated in the early 1960s to form Pinckney Community Schools. In the end, it was Hamburg Elementary’s enrollment of 208 students - the smallest of any district elementary - and relocation of its students without causing overcrowding at other schools or a complete redistricting of all elementary students, that may have sealed its fate. “It breaks my heart to do this,” said Board Secretary Peg Eibler. “If we had 100 extra students, we wouldn’t have to do this. I ’m so sorry.” Pinckney schools have lost nearly 400 students in the past four years due in part to the state’s foundering economy, school officials said. A drop of another 100 students is being anticipated for 2008-09, and that continual decline is contributing to the district’s pending budget deficit. Per-student state funding is the only real revenue source schools have had since Proposal A was passed by voters in 1994. It shifted the basis of school finance from local property taxes to state sales taxes and guaranteed all districts a minimum payment. The problem there, school officials have said, is that the economy also has prevented the per-student payments from keeping up with inflation, and the funding gap between richer and poorer districts isn’t getting any smaller. With $7,204 per student in state aid, Pinckney is one of the lowest-funded districts in Michigan. Hamburg Elementary’s closing is just the first of many cuts to come before the school board adopts next year’s budget by July 1, said board President Anne Colone. “They’re all ugly,” Colone said. “Unfortunately, it’s on our shoulders to make them.” L e a n n e S m ith c a n b e r e a c h e d a t lsm ith@ 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 1 .

Privatizing buildings and grounds services, which could save about $430,000, may be at the forefront. Teachers, parents and custodians flocked to the board’s March 6 meeting and spoke in favor keeping the 27 buildings and grounds employees who could be out of work if Pinckney privatizes their jobs. “I work for you all, and I think we do a pretty good job every day,” Jeff Hammon, Coimtiy Elementary School head custodian, said to the board during public comment. “I love my job.” An informational picket and literature finm a group called Coalition Against Privatization met those who came to Pathfinder School for the board meeting.

She gives blood to the American Red Cross every six weeks. She assists w ith Special Olympics events and mentors young children. She does clerical work fo r various units of local government and has helped w ith spring cleanup a t H a rtlan d Cemetery.” That was how the story read last May that announced the winner of our first L ivingston Young Citizen of the Year award. Hartland High School senior Chelsea Lee won a $1,000 scholarship as well as the award. Now it’s time to nominate students to be considered for this y e a r’s award. The deadline for nominations is just a few weeks away. The Young Citizen of the Year honor is designed to bring recognition to high school students who make a significant contribution through community service in addition to performing well in the classroom. We all know students who should be considered. They, always seem to be willing to lend a hand. They help with projects after school, they tutor younger students, and they help organize community eyents. This is your chance to shine the light on those communityminded high school students. Last year, there were 12 students nominated fi'om four local high schools. I ’d like to see all local high schools represented this year and twice as many nominees. While only one student can earn the $1,000 scholarship from The Livingston Community News, three finalists will be awarded $250 scholarships to help with the cost of further education or training after high school. Anyone may submit a nomination. Here is how to do so: ■ Send a letter that includes the student’s name, address, phone number and school along with an outline of the student’s leadership positions and community service. Please also include your name, address and phone number. ■ On a separate sheet, please provide the names and phone numbers of at least three people who can attest to the student’s work in the community. ■ Nominations should be addressed to: Young Citizen of the Year, The Livingston Community News, 420 W. Main St., Brighton, M I 48116. Nominations also may be submitted by e-mail at news@livingstoncommunitynews. com. ■ A nomination form is available on page A6. ■ The deadline for nominations is Friday, April 4.

T he difference this time was th at she didn’t have to ju s t suffer through it. Briggs, a haird re sse r from W hitmore Lake, has no medical insurance, but th at doesn’t m a tte r to the free nondenominational, faith-based Mission Medical Clinic. She’s the kind of patient the vo lun tee r health professionals th ere want to help. “This is wonderful,” Briggs said during h er Jan u a ry visit. “Hopefully, I ’ll get b e tte r faster.” Mission Med ica l Clinic has been packed since it opened Dec. 1 in the lower-level tra in ing room of the Putnam Township F ire Ha ll on M-36 in Pinckney. I t serves uninsured patients age 18-64 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday. Appointments are recommended. T he clinic was founded by M itch e ll and L a u ra Goldman, of H am b urg Township.

The y said a medical mission trip to In d ia a y e a r ago opened th e ir eyes to how many people here are suffering because they have no medical insurance. “T h e re are an estimated 11,000 uninsured adults in Livingston County alone,” M itch e ll Goldman said. “Unfortunately, the need is growing as people get laid off or have th e ir medical benefits cut. These are rough times.” The popularity of the clinic was expected, but still startling, the Goldmans said. “A lot of people have the p erception th a t uninsured people are on the rough edge of society,” M itch e ll Goldman said. “T h a t’s not true. The y a re your friends and neighbors.” Many using the clinic work parttime jobs th at don’t offer benefits, the volunteers said. “T h e y re a lly are the working poor,” said Karen Adams, of H am burg Township, a re tire d nurse and clinic volunteer. “One person was working th re e p a rt-tim e jobs and none of them provided health insurance.” T he clinic treats chronic health issues, including high blood pressure, asthma and diabetes, as well as providing urgent care for colds, flu, sore throats and min or burns, cuts and sprains. “I t ’s a godsend,” said M a ry Clickner, of Cohoctah Township, who came to the clinic in January w ith bronchitis. “I t would be nice if there were more places like this in the county, but I ’m just thankful this one is h ere .” Pra cticin g and re tire d medical professionals, as well as commun ity members who do administrative tasks, volunteer at the clinic. All are covered by malpractice and general lia b ility insurance, which costs the clinic about $22,000 a y e a r and is the biggest drain on its donated funds, M itch ell Goldman said.

In the course of her occupation, she’s gotten to meet retired University of Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr, Ford Motor Co. executive chairman Bill Ford, presidential candidates, television personalities and a host of other interesting people. She’s traveled from one end of the United States to the other and to several foreign countries. And she’s been well-paid, even before she started her own business. The average court reporter makes about $65,000 per year, according to the National Court Reporters Association, but salaries can range up through six figures, depending on locale, level of certification and areas of specialization. “It ’s such a great field; it’s so exciting. But it’s practically imknown,” Murray said. “There is a huge demand for coiut reporters, but the field is one of the best-kept secrets in the world ... and I can’t figure out why.” I f Murray’s colleague, Rhonda Zacharias, has her way, court reporting will step out of the occupational shadows for Michigan residents who are looking for a rewarding, well-paying career.

A 6 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 2008 Food allergies are personal for Genoa filmmaker BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News For Genoa Township based documentary maker Kevin Lindenmuth, food allergies have a personal connection. “My two nieces have food allergies to peanuts and tree nuts,” says Lindenmuth. “People don’t realize how serious food allergies can be. They’re life-threatening. More and more people have food allergies every year, and for parents with allergic kids, it takes an awful lot of woilc to protect them.” LindenmuUi, who’s company is called Brimstone Media Productions, is working on his latest documentary, “I ’m Not Nuts: Living with Severe Allergies.” The purpose of the documentary is to improve awareness of food allergies, to show how people can live w ith them and to provide resources and education on the subject. Local allergy doctors, including Dr. Harvey Leo, are interviewed in the documentary. “Livingston Coimty follows the national trend in that we’ve seen an increase in allergies to milk, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts,” says Leo, who has an ofBce in Brighton. “We don’t know why there’s an increase. Between the 1990s and 2005, we saw a tenfold increase in allergic diseases. Now roughly six percent of kids in this country have a food allergy.” Leo says peanut and tree nut allergies can cause the most severe reactions. That’s been the case for 7-year-old Katie Gosbee, from Pittsfield Township in Washtenaw County, who is featured in the documentary.

COURTESY, LAURA LIN GOSBEE Katie Gosbee, 7, is pictured with her mom, Laura Lin Gosbee, and RescueKX an injectable training mannequin developed to train people how to deal with allergic reactions to foods. She is severely allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, lentils, chick peas, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, chili pepper, and chocolate. She reacts on skin contact fitim peanuts, tree nuts and some seeds. “Last September Katie experienced a very severe anaphylactic reaction after skin testing at her allergist’s office,” says her mom, Laura Lin Gosbee. “Our allergist and his team of nurses acted quickly and saved her life.” Gosbee says she was later told that it is rare for skin testing to cause an anaphylactic reaction. The family first became aware of Katie’s food allergies when Katie was 18 months old and ate some peanut butter. “She spit it out, and within minutes, her lip and tongue began to swell, and she developed hives on her face and hands,” says Laura Lin Gosbee. “Over the next five years, we learned about all of her other food allergies, and have had to be extremely cautious about everything she comes in contact with. I have a spreadsheet I use when grocery shopping to keep track of which foods are safe.” Laura Lin Gosbee says the family has to educate anyone who cares for Katie about her allergies, symptoms of an allergic reaction, and administering an epinephrine auto-injector. “Katie needs to be constantly vigilant, which is a huge responsibility for a child,” she says. “It can sometimes be a very involved process to make sure it will be safe environment for her.” Leo says individual schools within the school districts in the county approach food aller- C O M M U N I T Y S C R A P B O O K Lurch, the larger-thanlife English mastiff that regularly donated blood to help other animals, was one of the "Everyday Heroes" recognized Feb. 21 by the Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Peanut and tree nut allergies are usually discovered between 1-2 years of age and 7-8 years. He says allergic reactions can vary from hives to wheezing to coughing to anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening multisystem reaction. The standard treatment is an injection of epinephrine. “Our hope is that in the next few years, there will be new treatment options - including allergy shots that can block reactions and make children less allergic to things like peanuts,” says Leo. Lindenmuth says that “I ’m Not Nuts: Living with Severe Allergies” should be completed in July. He has produced several documentaries on health-related topics including “Caring for the Caregivers,” about cancer caregivers, and “But Still You Look So Well” about multiple sclerosis. He says all of his documentaries have been tied to his personal experiences. For more information on Lindenmuth, go to www.lindenmuth. com.

One of only four schools offering court reporter training in the state, the two-year-old Text- Stream is rapidly gaining a superior reputation among judges and court personnel, attorneys and other businesses that employ court reporters. “This is a very high-caliber school,” M urray said. Its first graduate was in demand months before she graduated, she said. One of the reasons the school is already so highly regarded, Murray believes, is that its students are trained in a skill called “real-time” reporting, meaning that students are taught to transcribe a minimum of 225 words per minute, with 95 percent accuracy, using technology that instantly produces readable English text. In actual practice, court reporters may be transcribing as many as 300 words per minute, Murray said. According to the National Court Reporters Association, court reporting can be traced back to the 4th century B.C., when freed slave Marcus-T\illius Tiro used a shorthand to record the speeches of Cicero and other Roman orators. One of his recording symbols, the ampersand - the familiar symbol - is still in use today. Modern-day court reporters record the spoken word using a typewriter-like machine called a stenotype machine or steno writer. By pressing one or more keys at a time, they capture the sounds of words in a phonetic code. Real-time reporters use software that immediately translates the code back to a verbatim record that can be shown in “real time” on computer screens and also printed in hard copy. Through real- JAMIE CHARBENEAU PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Students in class at the Text Stream Institute o f Court Reporting in Brighton. Pictured from back left are Melissa Pasma, Debbie Kempa, Susan Haight and at far right is Cheryl Richardson. time court reporting, attorneys and the judge in a courtroom may be connected to the court reporter’s stenotype machine and see the proceedings verbatim on their laptop computers. There is no delay of days or weeks for a transcript - the norm in traditional court reporting - while the reporter edits her transcription so that others can read it. Jill Andrews, of Oceola Township, TextStream’s first graduate, gives the school excellent marks. “This school is by far the best for real-time writing and, if you want to be a court reporter these days, you have to be able to write real-time,” she said. A former legal secretary, Andrews graduated in April 2007, finding work immediately as a contractor with a court-reporting agency. “They couldn’t wait for me to graduate,” Andrews said. In addition to recording court proceedings and depositions, reporters may also work as: ■ Closed captioners. The closed captions you see on your television are done by broadcast captioners. Closed captioning is such an intense activity that its practitioners can only work for 15 minutes before being relieved by another captioner. ■ CART Reporters. Communication Access Realtime .TVanslation, or CART, provides assistance for the deaf and hearing-impaired in colleges and universities and other settings. A court reporter instantaneously converts the spoken word in lectures to text that appears on a client’s laptop computer. CART reporters have even helped give hearing- impaired clients access to Broadway productions. ■ Webcasters. Reporters record sales meetings, press conferences, product introductions and training seminars, transmitting them to the parties involved via computer. In addition, technology allows some court reporters to work from a location far from the job. A captioner in Brighton, for instance, can transmit captions by modem to a television station in Cleveland. Some courts are even opening up to remote reporting, Zacharias said. Thante to the Internet and e-mail, TextStream can count students from Chicago and Cincinnati among its current student population, although most live within a 1.5-hour drive of the school. The program takes 2.5 years to complete at a cost of about $20,000, through a combination of on-site and online or coiTespondence study, coupled with heavy home practice. A high school diploma or equivalent is required to start the program. “My students learn within the first week that I wasn’t kidding; they need to be able to practice 2.5 hours a day,” Zacharias said. The U.S. Department of L a bor projects that, through 2010, court reporting job opportunities will grow as fast as the average for all occupations. For information on classes, call 810-844-2060. Registration for the spring semester has begun and closes on March 17, with late registration by arrangement only. KICK BACK A T T H E N E W D I A .

Bommarito, also pictured at right won 4-3 en route to his second state title. LON HORWEDEUTHE LMNGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS 10 Livingston wrestlers grapple way to all-state honors For the third straight year, three Livingston County wrestlers advanced to the final match of the Michigan High School Athletic Association individual state finals. Only Hartland’s Jeremy Bommarito brought home a title, though, as fellow Hartland senior D.J. Charneski and Fowlerville junior Dillon Kern (in Division 2) fell ju st shy. It’s fitting that Bommarito stands above the crowd of 10 total all-state wrestlers to emerge from Livingston County last weekend at The Palace of Auburn Hills. He is the only two-time state champion in Hartland’s storied wrestling history. He won his second championship a t 145 pounds by outlasting Rockford’s Jake JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community Wews Dorulla, 1-0, in the final on March 8. “He’s grown up so much in the last month,” Hartland coach Todd Cheney said. “T hat’s been more fun than watching him win a state title. He’s turned into a leader. He did everything right for school, the diet that was set up and the mental focus. He was 100 percent committed. That’s why he won.” Bommarito (60-2) finishes 219-24 for his career, second only to Je sse Bain (222-23) in Hartland’s school history. Bommarito’s credentials suggest he’s Hartland’s best ever, considering that Bain never won a championship, but neith e r Cheney or Bommarito would say that directly. “I’m happy with what I did,” Bommarito said. “I set history at Hartland. I set goals for future w restlers.” Bommarito said the pre ssure to repeat made him extremely nervous Saturday, but it also is what drove him to work so hard all season. “People were shooting for me,” he said. “It was always in the back of my mind that I might not win it. There could be someone better. I drove myself to the next level, next step. That’s what made the difference.” Bommarito delivered grueling one-point victories in the semifinals and finals. He scored an escape to sta rt the third period on the undefeated Dorulla in the finals, then went on defense. “I had to keep it close and be smart. I did my game,” Bommarito said. It was another banner effort for Hartland. Five of the six Eagles earned top-eight, all-state finishes. Charneski lost to defending champion Mike Martin of Novi Catholic Central, 7-3, in the finals, becoming the second Eagle heavyweight in four years to lose to a University of Michigan football recruit. Cheney said Charneski (56-3) S E E DEEGAN,82 Snowmobile drag racing to the top of the hill More than 650 riders competed at the first Mount Brighton Snowmobile Hill Climb last year, including Terry Pressler, seen here making a jump.The event, scheduled Saturday and Sunday, should be bigger and better with a new format and track.

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Competition features changes Climb up incline gives drivers 'adrenaline rush' Jonathan Schaefer gets some air on his Ski-Doo MXZ 800 at the first Mount Brighton Snowmobile Hill Climb last year. Organizers expect more than 500 drivers for this weekend's event. BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News S ubtle changes are expected to make this weekend’s second annual Mount Brighton Snowmobile Hill Climb bigger and better. And tha t’s saying something. The new event attracted 650 racers and roughly 3,500 spectators a t the Genoa Township ski area over two days last year, despite near-record-high temperatures tha t turned the track into slush and muck. A new date - a week earlier than last year - a new track and a new format combine to make life simpler for participants and spectators. The hill climb is scheduled to start a t noon both Saturday and Sunday. Rob Bruhn, Mount Brighton’s operation manager, called last year’s hill climb “probably” the largest non-ski event ever at Mount Brighton. “As far as what we anticipated, it was a grand slam,” he said. “I did not have one complaint. A lot of people told us it was the most fun they’ve ever had.” Kris Bedard, who runs the Central Ontario Snowmobile Drag Racing Association, said last y e a r’s event attracted more spectators than most of his events. Its popularity spawned a second COSDRA hill climb in Michigan, a t Treetops Resort in Gaylord, March 22-23. Bedard estimated that this y e a r’s event at Mount Brighton S E E SNOWMOBILE, 82 Carson Pippin, 17, a Junior at Hartland High School, has qualified in boardercross for the 2008 FIS World Junior Championships coming up March 20 in Valmalenco, Italy.

He hated it. Every y e a r I’d try to do it. He was more concerned with video games and eating pizza.” Skiing might not have been Carson’s first love, but showboarding sure is now. Carson Pippin, 17, has skipped a portion of his junior y e a r a t Hartland High School, S E E PIPPIN,82 KVC swimming programs make history at MHSAA state finals Three set school records for finishes BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News In its final year, the Kensington Valley Conference made its biggest splash ever ^ at the Michigan High School W Athletic Association Division I state swimming and diving finals at Oakland University in Rochester March 7-8. Three local KVC schools set school records for their high finishes: Hartland in sev- ^ enth place with 128.5 points. South Lyon in 14th (45) and a first-year Howell program in a tie for 21st (26). Brighton, without its coach Sean Hickman, whose wife was having a baby, was 32nd (6). In Division 2, Pinckney’s Austin Munn was 13th and 14th, respectively, in the 50 and 100 freestyles, propelling the Pirates to 27th place with seven points. Hartland coach Scott Teeters said it was an impressive showing in Division I considering few swimmers train year-round. The KVC will merge into the 247team Kensington Lakes Activities Association next year. “I was really pleased with the KVC. Ju s t two years ago, it was a joke of a league,” Teeters said. “Now, we can compete. I’m sad to see it end.” Three swimmers finished among the top eight to earn all-state honors. Hartland’s Kevin Konkle was eighth in both the 100 and 200 freestyle. setting two school records. Hartland’s Ben Chodus edged South Lyon sophomore Adam Oxner in the 100 breaststroke for sixth place in 1 minute, 0.61 seconds, 0.04 seconds ahead of Oxner. Three local relay teams were all-state. Konkle helped Hartland’s 200 free relay team of Kyle Smith, John Havenhill and Je s se Ellett swim to fifth place in 1:28.86. Teeters said “as Kevin went, the team went.” “He definitely had a breakthrough meet,” Teeters said. Hartland’s 200 medley re lay team of Havenhill, Will Chodus, Anthoney Malec and Smith was sixth in 1 minute, 39.29. South Lyon’s team of Oxner, Chet Jankowski, Ryan Kenney and Nathan Bohn was right behind in seventh in 1:39.92, becoming the first relay in school history to be all-state. Oxner and Jankowski were the only South Lyon swimmers who staved off tapering until the final weekend. Oxner is ju st the second South Lyon swimmer to earn all-state honors in an individual event (Ryan Fhlkerson is the other). Jankowski was 12th in the 100 backstroke and 15th in the 100 butterfly. “The fact tha t they didn’t have to taper allowed them to finish high,” South Lyon coach John Burch said. Howell made an impact in its first year. Highlanders Josh Grabijas, Brett Chapman and Ethan Palmer each swam a leg on all three relays that qualified for the second day. Grabijas was also 12th in the 500 free. Burch credited the KVC coaching staffs for this memorable performance. “The league has been rising every year,” he said.

From News staff reports SNOWMOBILE FROMB1 Thrill of race lures drivers back to the competition could be “three times bigger” than 2007 based on the chatter on his Web site, www.cosdra. com. Anyone with a snowmobile and $30 for the registration fee can compete in one of three divisions, based on the sled’s engine size and the modifications that have been made. “It is one of the up-andcoming new sports,” Bedard said. “It can be done by anybody of any age.” The new track, groomed on the blue ski run closer to the lodge, will b etter serve spectators who want to watch from inside or from one of the lodge’s second-story decks. The new format consists of four racers, instead of two, zooming up a 660-foot course that includes three jumps. The top two finishers advance to the next round. Bedard said eliminating two racers at a time will help the event run smoother. Most important, Bruhn said Mount Brighton has a deep enough snow base to withstand the warmer temperatures predicted this weekend. He said it’s likely Mount Brighton will close for the ski season after the races. Snow or not, Mike Banister, 45, a construction worke r from Durand, called last year’s races “a ball.” He plans to return. “You get guys like myself, we’ll travel to do that stuff. It is ju st the thrill, the adrenaline rush,” he said. “I’m a competitive person. Eighty percent of the guys out there, they are competitive. You’ve got so much money in your equipment, you want to do the best you can do.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncornmunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

Practice makes perfect for Special Olympics skier W : Brighton athlete named winner of Bunbury Award BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News Jacquelyn Mason is very candid about the secret to her success as a skier. “I kept practicing and practicing, and I never gave up,” she said. “Now I can go down any hill.” The 19-year-old Brighton resident is the recipient of the 2008 Timothy Krause Bunbuty Award, which is presented by Special Olympics Michigan in memory of its namesake athlete who was an avid skier. The award, which is decided by a selection committee, is given to someone who has trained diligently in the sport of alpine skiing and approached the sport with enthusiasm, bravery, a sense of humor, and has achieved excellence at his or her own level. “Jacqui trains hard, has a COURTESY, MARY JANE WELTON Jacquelyn Mason, a 19-yearold Brighton resident, won the 2008 Timothy Krause Bunbury Award, presented by Special Olympics Michigan in memory of its namesake athlete who was an avid skier. great attitude and is a role model,” said Anne Rogers, Livingston County director of Special Olympics. “She does both downhill skiing and giant slalom, and is on h e r way to being an advanced skier.” Mason has been participating in the Special Olympics for sbc years. “When I first met Jacqui, she was shy and introverted,” said Rogers. “Special Olympics and skiing have made h e r a strong, happy, enthusiastic and confident young lady who is a role model to all athletes. “She now will tackle any hill that we bring her to without fear. When someone new sta rts skiing, she is the first one to encourage them and ensure them that they will have fun and do great.” Mason, who attends school at the Livingston Educational Service Agency in Howell, is a graduate of Hartland High School. “I ju st love to ski,” said Mason, who adds that she enjoys living close to Mount Brighton. She advises other athletes, “To win, don’t give up, and keep trying and trying. That’s my secret.” Lisa Caroiin can be reached at icaroiin® iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010. PIPPIN FROM B1 Snowboarder shows a passion for the sport leaving in November to a ttend Crested Butte Academy, a program th a t combines academics with elite snowboarding training in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. All the work with the academy’s coaches and traveling around the country to compete the past four months have paid off. Pippin has qualified in boardercross for the 2008 FIS World Ju n io r Championships coming up March 20, in Valmalenco, Italy. He is the youngest of 24 U.S. competitors. Boarderc ro ss is a ra c e through a course to the bottom of the hill. “Ju n io r Worlds is like a pre-Olympic fe ede r team. They look a t (the athletes) a s potential Olympians,” said Jill Pippin, Carson’s mom. Carson Pippin said he has “taken big step s forward” in Colorado. His in stru c to rs are analyzing his every move with videotape. He’s competed against professionals and former Olympians at re c en t events in Minnesota, Colorado and Pennsylvania. He said h e ’s “more stoked than ne rvous” about Ju n io r Worlds. “I ’m ju s t happy to go and excited to see what’s going on,” he said by phone earlier this week. To help offset the costs, the Pippin family is hosting a spaghetti dinner a t Mount Brighton, 4141 Baue r Road, from 6-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 19. Cost is $10 p e r adult, $5 p e r child. Carson Pippin credited Mount Brighton for some of his success. “I rode th e re every day when I was little,” he r e called. “I grew up with a bunch of kids there. That place is so great. It helped me p ro g re ss.” Ja ck Pippin noticed something unique once his son s ta rted snowboarding. “His focus was always on the hill and it always has be en,” he said. “Even a t a young age, you see snowboarders sitting in a big clump (talking). I never saw him the re . He was always riding.” Brighton b oa rde rc ross coach Bill Snyder said it’s hard to single out Pippin as the b e st snowboarder to come from Mount Brighton but still acknowledged his talent. “Carson has improved many times over,” Snyder said. “The biggest p a rt is mentally. He can re ad lines and how to race and how to race successfully. He’s chosen to focus on snowboarding instead of ju s t screwing around with his buddies at the ski area. I’m really proud of what he’s accomplished.” Carson, who also plays football a t Hartland, said he hopes to move out west afte r high school, possibly become a firefighter and chase a berth in the 2010 Olympics. He wants to eventually tu rn pro in both boardercross and slopestyle snowboarding, a sport where rid e rs perform tricks. He’s already qualified to perform board'ercross in the Chevy U.S. Snowboard Grand Prix Tour, one step below the popular X-Games. He’s aiming to qualify in slopestyle a t the Grand Prix level in 2009. “If it takes a work ethic and it take s drive and commitment, h e ’s on the right p a th ,” his fa th e r said. “He has the drive and passion. God only knows if he has the ta len t.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

Both Brighton Bulldogs fared well, with Grant Pizzo fifth at 112 pounds and Kenny Richmond seventh at 125. Both won their consolation matches after tough losses. South Lyon’s Shea BuSer (31-9) was eighth in Bommarito’s weight class. Kern became Fowlerville’s first finalist since Billy Devine won a title at 130 pounds in 2001. The 171-pounder was pinned a t the 4-minute, 47- second mark by Jacob Burge of Mason, his third loss to the N.C.

The $24.6 million project is part of a bond issue passed by voters in 2003 tha t resulted in the new $70 million Parker High School and renovations to the existing school. Workers have completed renovation on the second floor of the 1983 building and are about half finished with the first floor, Principal Bill Smith said during a recent tour of the facility. The building has limited use this year as sophomores, juniors and seniors have been shifted to the Parker Campus for this school year.

I Doing their jobs 'smarted Hamburg police use in-car video system to help nab criminals BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News P eople who incessantly speed or a ttempt to commit crimes may long for the days when the best technology police officers had a t their disposal was a blue light and siren tha t plugged into the cigarette lighter of their patrol cars. Crime-fighting has come a long way, baby. Today, an in-car digital video recording system can catch someone in the act of committing a crime, even if officers are no where in sight. An in-car computer can instantly pull up someone’s driving and criminal records and tell police whether he or she has outstanding warrants for arrest. And in the near future. traffic tickets and incident reports will get to courts or prosecuting attorneys in hours instead of days, and every movement and word spoken by on-duty police officers will be recorded by a device they’ll wear. “Never before have police professionals been asked to do so much,” said Hamburg Township Police Chief Steve Luciano. “Technology helps us do it smarter.” A 39-year-old Whitmore Lake man learned ju st how much sma rte r earlier this month when a VisionHawk digital video evidence system in a Hamburg police c ar caught him apparently kicking in the c a r’s windshield while Sgt. Jim Sanderson was inside the Hamburg Pub doing a routine check.

Still engaged in a lifetime of service Winner of Lifetime Community Service Award keeps helping United Way BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News If you’re having trouble connecting with Hartland Township resident Je an Eckman, th e re ’s a good change she’s off helping the Livingston County United Way. “Je an helped mold the Livingston County United Way to become what it is today,” said BeclQT Best, 2007 president of the agency’s board of directors. “She has great organizational skills and is compassionate, concise, logical and ambitious and has dedicated a lot of time to the organization.” Eckman, 72, was honored last month with the United Way’s Donald Epiey Lifetime Community Service Award. “I really like the United Way because it’s an umbrella over many agencies,” says Eckman. “I like how volunteers determine how the money is used in the allocation process.” Eckman has long been involved in the United Way’s allocation process and has served on the board of directors for the agency. She says this has been a rough year because the need is so great in the county. “Some people who were generous givers in the past are now asking for help,” says Eckman. “It’s hard to be wise in spending when money is so tight.” Eckman moved to Hartland Township in Livingston County 12 years ago and has been involved with the local United Way almost since the day she arrived. She says the local organization has become more professional and more cohesive during that time, bringing its five areas - Brighton, Fowlerville, Hartland, Howell and Pinckney - together to work as one. Jeanne Cljim, the LCUW director of development and marketing, calls Eckman “a tremendous and committed lady.” S E E ECKMAN, A 4 INDEX Achievers, Scrapbook A8 Calendar, Volunteers A9 Livingston Life A7-10 Retail Report AS Rick Fitzgerald's column A7 Sports B1-2 For the record - Errors of fact will be promptly corrected.

TYustee Rick Seymour also was listed on the original petition, but he later resigned from the board. The petition charged that St. Charles interfered with township ordinance enactment and enforcement to benefit development, that Sedlak sought to influence the vote of the Planning Commission in changing ordinances to allow a business to be run fixim his home and that Daugherty was incompetent for failing to deposit funds in township bank accounts in a timely manner and using public funds for private matters.

A team of three seniors also has learned through the experience that hard work pays off and quality can count more than quantity. The five months Ashley Nabozny, Jenny Hesse and Ryan Tinsley spent this year researching and documenting the operation of the Poop Deck has earned the school store gold-level certification finm DECA, an international association of marketing students. DECA hands out gold, silver and bronze certifications, and of about 2,000 student-based enterprises nationwide, only 37 received the gold this year. The Poop Deck is only one of five in Michigan. “I am very, very proud,” said Pinckney marketing teacher Cas Scranton. “They were competing against schools like one in Washington that runs a restaurant out of its school store.” To be considered for certifi- JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Pinckney Community High School seniors, from left, Ashley Nabozny, 17, Ryan Tinsley, 17, and Jenny Hesse, 17, researched and documented the operation of the school store, the Poop Deck. Their efforts earned the high school a gold-level certification from the student marketing group DECA. cation, the students compiled an 85-page report on every aspect of the Poop Deck, including its accounting practices, how merchandise is promoted and displayed and how the store is kept secure. They admit they were worried how their relatively small store would stack up. “I thought maybe we were too basic, but we met the requirements and covered everything and, no matter how sm ^ we are, we qualified,” Nabozny said. “I think it gives our store more credibility and hopefully teachers, students and parents will start noticing it more.” New federal wellness guidelines stopped the store from selling past top-sellers, such as soda and candy suckers. Combined with a down economy, the store’s , sales a re 58 percent lower than they were this time last year, Scranton said. How to help Pinckney Community High School's student-run school store, the Poop Deck, is only one of five Michigan school stores this year to receive gold-level certification from DECA, an international association of marketing students. The award will be presented to seniors Ashley Nabozny, Jenny Hesse and Ryan Tinsley in May at DECA's International Career Development Conference in Atlanta, if the students can raise $1,000 each for the trip. Students school's Business Professionals of America group also are trying to raise money for that organization's national competition in Reno, Nev., in May. Sponsorships are one way businesses and individuals can help. All sponsors will be recognized on a banner to be hung for a year in the school store, as well as in a newspaper advertisement. ■ Bronze sponsor: $25. ■ Silver sponsor: $50. ■ Gold sponsor: $100. ■ Details: Students can pick up donations, or checks made out to Pinckney High School BPA/DECA can be mailed to Pinckney Community High School, d o BPA/DECA, 10255 Dexter-Pinckney Road, Pinckney, Ml 48169. ■ Details: Teachers Cindy Millns, 810-225-5754, or Cas Scranton, 810-225-5756. That alone is tough to take, he said, since the Poop Deck, like any store, must be selfsustaining to stay open. Money raised in the store also pays for students to attend DECA events, and this y ear’s sluggish sales won’t cover the expenses for Nabozny, Hesse and Tinsley’s upcoming trip to the International Career Development Conference in Atlanta where they’ll receive their gold-level honors. Each student must raise $1,000 for the trip. Fundraisers, bottle drives and special sales are in the works. “For years we’ve made money and bought ads in the yearbook and the hockey and football programs and have been able to give back to other school groups, as well as pay for our trips to state,” Scranton said. “For the first time since I’ve been here, we have kids going to nationals, and we’re fighting to break even.” The effort that went into getting the certification now is being put into raising the money to go and get the reward, the students said. “All that work paid off and now we want to go to Atlanta,” Hesse said.

Voyager students step up to recycle It's a lesson to make them'caretakers of the Earth' BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News Since last November, fifthgraders at Voyager Elementary School in Howell have been giving their time, two hours a month on Saturday, to help at Recycle Livingston. “We’re trying to make them c a re tak e rs of the E a rth, and doing ju s t one thing th a t will make a positive impact,” says Voyager te a ch e r Barb Teahen. “It lets the kids get a feel for giving back to the community and the E a rth .” “I think this is such a great lesson (about the need to recycle),” adds Recycle Livingston Site Manager Bonnie White. “I think it’s really cool to see the kids out there.” She says the attention drawn to the program by the Voyager students has increased community participation a t the recycling center.

Howell Police say a 16- year-old sophomore girl was attacked in the cafeteria Feb. 29 a t Parker High School by four other girls, and a 14- year-old Highlander Way Middle School special education student was assaulted by another boy March 10. According to Howell Police Capt. John Kowalski, it will be up to the prosecutor to decide if charges are issued. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see a charge of assault and battery (against the five students involved in the two incidents),” said Kowalski. All of the a ssailants have been suspended from school. Kowalski downplayed the severity of the attacks. “These were not major assaults,” he said. “They were school ground fights we’ve had since the beginning of time.” Kowalski said school liaison officer Don Banfield was on the other side of the cafeteria when the Parker incident happened, and he, and a couple of teachers, were able to break it up. “The fight was short,” Kowalski said. “(The victim) needed no advance medical treatment at the scene or ambulance called.” However, the girl’s father, Larry Buckmaster, told the Board of Education March 10 that his daughter’s hair was torn out, h e r nose ring “ripped out” and her eyes left black-and-blue. Kowalski also said the 14- year old boy was not seriously injured in the Highlander Way incident. The boy’s mother, Denise Bible, said Friday her son, who had been “kicked or punched several times in the face,” had no broken bones. “He’s all clear, fljut) physically, he’s got bruises,” she said. Bible kept her son out of school all week and is not sure whether he will return Monday. She said she is considering transferring him to another school. Bible said she is encouraged by the support her son has received. “There’s been a lot of support from his teachers and classmates,” she said. Buckmaster told the school board that before the incident, the girls had posted advance notice the attack would take place on the social ne tworking Web site myspace. com. However, Kowalski said his department could not find any evidence of that, nor of an allegation tha t a student videotaped the assault on a camera phone. Acting Superintendent Lynn Parrish told the Board of Education at its March 10 meeting that both incidents were being thoroughly investigated. “I expect a fair and ju st outcome,” she said. Parrish has said state law mandates that a student involved in an assault be suspended for a minimum of 180 days. Tom Tolen can be reached at tto!en@ livingstoncommunitynew5.com or at 810-844-2009. Boy, 11, gets probation in Howell school bus sex assault Drug, alcohol testing ordered for family BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News An 11-year-old boy involved in a sexual assault against another boy aboard a Howell Public Schools bus was placed on two years probation earlier this week. He and his parents appeared for a dispositional hearing Monday, where Livingston County Probate Court Judge Carol Hackett Garagiola ordered the family to undergo random drug and alcohol testing. They were also ordered to have counseling, and the boy may not be alone with other children under 13. The boy had earlier pleaded guilty to a charge of gross indecency between males, in exchange for dropping charges of first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct. A 10-year-old boy also charged with criminal sexual conduct in the case has maintained his innocence and may go to trial next month. Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse said his office never approached the case with the intention of seeking punitive action, but ra the r wanted to ensure the boy and his family received appropriate help. He added that the incident was more about bullying than a sexual assault. “There was no question it was sexual in nature, but the evaluation found it was not predatory,” Morse said. “The sexual activity was more of bullying, or exploring, or experimentation (and we felt) there was a low likelihood of reoffending.” In the May 2007 incident, a 7-year-old Howell elementary school student was assaulted by the two older boys, ages 9 and 11 a t the time. Morse said while the victim and his family have suffered as a result, so have the other boys and their families. “This has been traumatic for everyone,” he said. The prosecutor said he agrees with the random drug and alcohol testing order, although he emphasized there is no evidence the boy was using drugs or alcohol. “Alcohol or drugs can exacerbate a situation, and we feel this (testing) will decrease the likelihood of that happening,” he said. An order for the family to make arrangements for the boy’s return to school, with supervision, also was part of the disposition. However, Howell Acting Superintendent Lynn Parrish said that to her knowledge, the boy, now a middle-school student, already is back in class. “A safety plan is in place, (but) the larger issue is how much school he missed,” she said. Parrish added the family has requested that no information on the boy be released, in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Operations Director Mike Peterson said he expects to get “two or three more years out of them.” Peterson said it would cost the school district 10 times as much to buy new buses, at about $70,000 each. Money will come from the general fund. Scholarship benefit tickets on sale ation millage, Oceola and the city of Howell have become equal funding partners for the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority, at $100,000. Genoa and Marion townships each contribute about $60,000; Howell Township does not contribute. A three-tier fee structure is in effect; based on last year’s pricing, one pass for Genoa and Marion residents will cost $40 and nonresidents $80. Polling change fo r 2 precincts The Howell Public Schools Alumni Association’s 18th annual Dollars for Scholars scholarship fundraiser is from 6 p.m. to midnight March 29, at Crystal Gardens Banquet Center in Genoa Township. Tickets are $45 each, $40 for association members. Tickets may be ordered by mail by sending a check to the Howell Alumni Association, 411 N. Highlander Way, Howell, MI 48843. Beginning with the August primary. Precincts 1 and 2 will move from the Paul Bennett Recreation Center to the Mc- Guffey Room at the Livingston Educational Service Agency building, 1425 W Grand River Ave. at Highlander Way. The two precincts contain 4,135 voters, all of who will be notified of the change by letter with their new voter registration cards. 4 historic markers approved for city Park admission policy changes Residents accustomed to getting two annual admission stickers to Howell City Park with their April water bill will receive only one, with a letter explaining how they can get a second free sticker at City Hall or the booth at the park after showing proof of residency. The policy change was approved by the City Council to limit free park admission to residents of the city and Oceola Township. Since the failed 2006 recre- The Howell Main Street Program and Downtown Development Authority board approved $7,432 for four 6-foot historic markers for North Michigan Avenue, south of East Clinton Street; South Michigan Avenue, north of East Sibley Street; West Grand River Avenue, east of Chestnut Street; and East Grand River Avenue, west of North Barnard Street. The pedestal signs, signifying the entrance of Howell’s National Register Historic District, will feature a cast bronze plaque on a black pedestal, topped with a decorative pineapple finial. There is no due date at this time for their delivery and installation. F rom N ew s s t a f f rep orts DDA contributes to project $100,000 goes for Mill Pond Lane sewers From News staff reports The Brighton Downtown Development Authority this week approved a $100,000 contribution toward the city’s Mill Pond Lane bypass sewer project. The project is one of three infi^ structure projects in which the City Council has asked the DDA to participate. According to Department of Public Services Director Matt Schindewolf, the project is being planned to handle present and future sewer needs in the Main Street area, where one section of the sewer is at capacity.” The project cost is estimated to cost $360,000. The work will likely be done later in the summer, Schindewolf said. “We’re glad to work with the city and help it move forward,” said DDA Chairman Bob Herbst, saying the project will prevent future sewage backups. The sewer line will proceed from Mill Pond Lane to West Main Street, then to Hyne and Washington streets, where it will connect to a sewer main. In other action, the DDA gave preliminary approval to installing a new drinking fountain at the Veterans Memorial in Mill Pond Park and authorized bid documents for maintenance work on the Mill Pond Walkway and Pierce Street stairway. The former will involve spending up to $50,000 for resealing and painting the footbridge. Howell increases school day to make up for winter closings From News staff reports starting Monday, April 7, the Howell Public Schools will add four minutes to the end of the school day (as required by the state) to make up for snow days and other “acts of God” this winter. Also, Southwest and Hutchings Elementary schools will have 10 more minutes at the beginning of the day, in addition to the four extra minutes at the end of the day. Following are the new starting and ending times, by school, effective April 7: ■ Middle schools and Howell High School Freshman Campus - 7:30 a.m.-2:18 p.m. ■ Howell High School at the Parker Campus - 8:05 a.m.-2:51 p.m. ■ Southwest and Hutchings elementary schools: Grades 1-5 - 9 a.m.-4:08 p.m. All-day kindergarten - 9 a.m.- 4:08 p.m. Morning kindergarten - 9 a.m.-12:18 p.m. Afternoon kindergarten -12:50 p.m.-4:08 p.m. ■ All other elementary schools (grades 1-5) - 9:10 a.m.- 4:08 p.m. Morning kindergarten - 9:10 a.m.-12:18 p.m. Afternoon kindergarten - 1 p.m.-4:08 p.m. Morning begindergarten -9:10 a.m.-12:18 p.m. Afternoon begindergarten - 1 p.m.-4:08 p.m. All-day kindergarten - 9:10 a.m.-4:08 p.m. RENOVATION FROM A1 Some high school changes aimed at easing congestion closed. School officials believe that next y e a r’s seniors, who last walked the halls of Howell High as sophomores, will be delighted with the improvements. “I think they will be excited,” Smith said. “We will have a facility we believe the students will be happy with - and very proud of,” said Rick Terres, associate superintendent for business. According to Smith, the features that students appreciate a t Parker are being incorporated into the renovated facility. “We’re trying to create areas similar to Parker,” he said. The main entrance to the high school, on the north side, will be part of a 15,000- square-foot addition. When completed, the two-story entrance will give the impression of open space. The large entrance “will be for flow access to classes and the auditorium,” Terres said. I t’s ju s t one of several improvements being made to eliminate the ped e strian traffic jams th a t previously ch a ra c teriz ed the building, with its narrow stairwells and limited a ccess points. “It makes it much more a c cessible,” Smith said. “There was a need to open it up, it (previously) felt like you were in a tun n e l,” said Assistant Principal Mark Sharp. The campus will have a higher learning a re a , with both E a s te rn Michigan University and Lansing Community College having a presence. LCC has a program a t P a rk e r in which qualified stu d en ts may take college-level courses and re ceive both high school and college credit. Significant changes have been made in the media cente r a re a , with new lighting and a new hallway carved out in back for quick access. The cafeteria is being r e done, and will be based on the “food court” concept. In the past, as much as half of the s tu d e n ts ’ 30-minute lunch bre ak was absorbed waiting in the food line. “ (The food court) enables you to get in and out quickly,” Smith said. The serving a re a will be opened up, and stu d en ts will have multiple points where they can access food selections. Several working laboratories a re also going in, and individual classrooms have been upgraded, with new lighting, tile, drop sc re en s and LCD projectors. Also among the upgrades a re new computers and othe r technological improvements among $2.5 million in technology upgrades th a t were p a rt of the 2003 bond issue - plus a thletic facility improvements, new furnitu re and revamped lockers. Clark Construction Co. of Lansing is the general contra c to r on the project, which is scheduled to be completed by July 1.

ECKMAN FROM A1 She's described as 'tremendous and committed lady' Eckman also has served on the boards of several local agencies over the years. One of h e r favorites is the Women’s Resource Center. “I particularly like the program for women making big life changes,” says Eckman. “The program helps with care e r planning, writing a r e sume and offers the Career Closet, which offers donated professional clothing.” Eckman’s own c a re e r be gan in education. She was the third generation of her family to graduate from Calvin College in Grand Rapids and earned a degree in education. She got married when she graduated and moved to Southeast Michigan where she worked as a te a che r in the Saline, Willow Run and South Redford school districts. After having two children, the couple moved back to Grand Rapids where they had two more children. When Eckman went back to work, she had a variety of jobs, including working at a hospitalbased drug treatment center, an a rt museum and a convention bureau. She divorced and la te r met h e r cu rren t husband, Ted Eckman, who was from Hartland Township and a friend of Don Epley the man for whom the community service award she won is named. “I like living in Hartland very much,” says Je an Eckman. “The people are friendly, and it is a growing area. There a re still peaceful, wooded are a s like where we live.” Eckman says the United Way is a huge part of her life, and h e r role now is chairwoman of the publicity and education committee. “The United Way is such an important organization, particularly now,” she says. “So many of our residents in Livingston County commute th a t it’s hard to get people to designate donations to Livingston County. That’s a message we’re trying to communicate as well as trying to reach more re tire e s in the county.” Lisa C a ro iin c a n b e r e a c h e d a t ic a r o iin ® 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 0 .

Moody has been arraigned on charges of felony malicious destruction to police property, which carries a possible penally of four years in jail and a $5,000 fine. “As sure as I’m sitting here, I can say if it weren’t for that camera, it would have been highly difficult, if not impossible, to solve this crime,” Sanderson said. Hamburg police are the first in Livingston County to use VisionHawk, although Lt. Brian DeNoyer said other departments are considering it. It cost about $60,000 for six systems and a server. This week the Fowlerville Village Council moved ahead with spending $20,700 to put three video cameras into its police cars and the city of Howell has approved spending $53,000 to purchase, install and train officers on an updated video camera system called Mobile-Vision that will go into seven patrol cars. VisionHawk uses front and rear cameras and microphones to record inside and outside the car while it’s in service. Data is stored in a locked vault in the car and downloaded automatically by wireless transmission when the car pulls into the police station. Data also can be downloaded manually. “Officers were very apprehensive to have cameras in the cars,” Sanderson said. “Now, they don’t want to drive one if the camera isn’t working.” Hamburg police also spent $15,000 in federal drug forfeiture funds last year to buy a mobile speed radar trailer that can count how many cars per hour pass by it. Township officials hope to use this data to 'As sure as I'm sitting here, I can say if it weren't for that camera, it would have been highly difficult, if not impossible, to solve this crime.' Hamburg Police Sgt.Jim Sancierson, speaking about how police captured a man who kicked in a police cruiser windshield help prove to the state Department of ITansportation that a traffic signal is needed at M- 36 and Merrill Road, Luciano said. Right now, police do computerized traffic and incident reports that must be printed out on paper and driven to the county j ^ , courts or prosecutor’s office, DeNoyer said. Hamburg police are testing three systems that would make this process paperless and much faster. “An officer could write a ticket at the beginning of his shift and, by the time he got ready to go home, the person who got the ticket could go online on their computer, have paid the ticket and cleared the courts,” DeNoyer said. “It can take three to 14 days for this to happen now.” While he is the first to admit that government agencies, such as police departments, may be slow in obtaining technology, Luciano said most officers are eager to get it. “It’s all about binding,” Luciano said. “Technology can be very expensive, but it’s really become a necessity.” L e a n n e Sm ith can b e re a c h e d a t ism ith@ iiv in g s to n c om m u n ity n ew s . c om o r a t 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 i 1. 7012 East M-36 Suite A Hamburg, Ml 48169 810.231.9955 www.ixlkids.com I X U lUgf'niflgOc/iferlR Open 7am - 6pm Monday - Friday Call for availability "Play w ith Purpose" Curriculum Based Programs Offered for Infant through School / 5 Children 2ii7603(wi UNFINISHED BASEMENTS Thank you for letting us showcase our Ultimate Basement Makeover system in your community.

Called Sandbaggers, the restaurant opened this month with a nonsmoking policy and a full bar and restaurant menu as well as flat-screen ^ televisions for customers and ^ game area for kids. Bowl- E-Drome and Sandbaggers General Manager Je rry Hudson said on the opening night, they served 65 all-you-can-eat fish dinners. Hudson and owners Rich- ^ ard and Sue Albright, who also own the building, designed the eatery themselves and have worked on the renovation for 18 months, offering additional seating for 50 customers. The next phase of the renovation will include redoing the bowling alley’s lounge area, which they plan to do in the next six months. As well as appealing to new visitors, Hudson said he hopes regular bowlers also take advantage of the eatery. “There’s never been a place for them to come and have a pizza and a place to sit down,” he said. “Our hope is to have a luncheon and early evening crowd and then bowlers later.” Hudson said they have hired about 15 new employees to work at Sandbaggers. Weekday lunch specials are $4.95 and the restau ran t also will offer breakfast specials on Saturday and Sunday, 7-11 a.m., and a Friday night fish fry for $5.98 as well as free spicy wings 4-6 p.m. Address: 907 E.

An official ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for April 9 at 10 a.m. The new bank is a division of Fenton-based The State Bank. “The community may re call nearly four years ago when The State Bank opened a satellite office in Brighton to help service our business customers,” Bell said. “Having received such positive response to our work and the relationships we have built in the community, we decided it was time to open Livingston Community Bank.” While The State Bank was primarily a commercial lending institution, its successor will provide a full array of services. Bell said. The financial institution will provide individual and commercial checking and savings accoimts, certificates of deposit, home loans, institutional and investment banking, wealth management, financial planning and IRAs. The new bank has its own appointed aboard of directors comprised of local business leaders.

Habitat organizers look ahead to choosing family, building home REAL ESTATE & BUILDING BY CASEY HANS The Livingston Community News With spring now officially here, organizers for the Livingston County Habitat for Humanity chapter are hopeful they will soon be able to select a family and build a new Habitat home this year. Having just finished its 15th home last fall, the nonprofit is seeking families in need to partner with the group, as well as donations for the next project. Chapter board President Rich Filgo, a builder, said the downturn in Michigan’s economy is seeping into local communities as well as to area nonprofits, including Livingston’s Habitat chapter. “We’re fervently hoping that someone will donate a piece of land,” Filgo said. “Flindraising is our biggest challenge. Now would be a good time to purchase some property.” Executive Director Larry Pfeil said that the group must raise about $110,000 before it can consider doing a project. Money typically comes from donations, grants and sales from the Habitat Home Store in Genoa Township. “Although land prices have come down, property in Livingston County typically doesn’t,” said Pfeil. He said Livingston County is different from the more urban chapters, where often land can be obtained for ju st $1, allowing them to do several projects in a year. “We have a sta rt in that direction,” Filgo said of raising the money for Livingston, “but certainly we don’t have enough to build a house.” Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit housing ministry dedicated to providing safe, affordable housing for families in need. Families partner with Habitat to physically build the new house and Habitat carries the mortgage loan. “Our challenge is to make the housing affordable,” Filgo explained. “We wind up looking typically in more rural areas, because tha t’s where the land is affordable.” Last year, a young mother with two sons was the pa rtner family for a house built in Hamburg Township. Applications for partner families are being sought now. The family must have lived or worked in the county for at least six months, show ability to make a mortgage payment and willingness to provide “sweat” equity. Pfeil said often families “tend to disqualify themselves because of credit problems. We encourage them to apply, anyway.” “At the last census, there were 4,088 families under the poverty level in Livingston County,” he added. “We still have the need - probably more.” Details and an application are online at www.livingstonhabitat. org or call 810-220-9986. Casey Hans can be reached at chans® livingstoncommunitynews .com or at 810-844-2005. D iffe ren t ways to help th e e ffo rt There are a number of ways to help Livingston County Habitat for Humanity purchase land and build a new home with a partner family in need: ■ Pledge money either via check or online. ■ Donate items to the Habitat for Humanity Home Center, a store that sells new and gently used home and building items. ■ Shop at local merchants and designate Livingston Habitat for a portion of proceeds to be donated there. Merchants include Todd's Services, VG's Food and Pharmacy and Meijer stores. ■ Shop online at major retailers by visiting www.shopforcharityday. com/93949. A portion of proceeds will go to the local Habitat chapter. ■ Details: www. livingstonhabitat.org or 810- 220-9986.

It started with St. Patrick’s Day, included the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq and the first day of spring, and ends with the earliest Easter any of us will ever experience. Whew! The combination of Easter, spring and even St. Patrick’s Day is prompting sighs of re lief everywhere I go this week. It seems everyone is anxious for this winter to end. Even by Michigan standards, this winter has been ^ b ru ta l. The big storms. The. freeze-and-thaw cycles. The icy roads. We’re all ready for a break - and a little more sunshine. Those couple of recent sunny days where temps flirted with ^ th e 50s, brought people out of " th e i r houses and out of their winter funks. Spring is a time of new beginnings, of rebirth and renewal. It’s when we men clean out our garages after a winter’s worth of slop and the women in our lives change over their closets to a new season of clothing. Spring is when families who just can’t take another week of gray skies escape to places like North Carolina, Florida, Arizona or Mexico (spring breaks for local school districts are spread over three different weeks this year). It’s a time when parents ^ t a r t signing kids up for summer camps, runners start marking their favorite races on the calendar and boaters line up friends to put in the dock for the season. It’s a time of great expecta- ^tions, even when there is so Pmuch uncertainty around us. So enjoy this first weekend of spring, whether you are headed on a family vacation, gathering with friends after E a ste r services or ju st enjoying a few extra minutes of sunshine and daylight.

BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News E very Sunday at 7 a.m. sharp, 50-60 roadies unpack three large trailers and begin transforming the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts and parts of Brighton High School into a church. It’s all p a rt of the nondenominational 2/42 Community Church, which each week serves several hundred of the church’s 900 members at two high-spirited Sundaymorning services complete with a rock band. Four services actually go on simultaneously, all of which are part of the weeldy setup by the 2/42 roadies, which is all torn down, every week at 1:30 p.m. “You have to stay focused or else things won’t get done in time,” says Gary Hamilton, a 2/42 crew member. “When we have a full team, it rolls real good. Most people are very committed. But we couldn’t do all this without God’s help.” The crew transforms the Performing Arts stage into a pulpit for Pastor David Dummitt that in- Janice Sheffield, left, and Kim Smith, right, sort through the name tags of church volunteers. eludes a full rock band and three giant screens.

Those wishing to help the students keep batteries out o f the trash are encouraged to bring th eir old household batteries to the school or parish office at 10601 Dexter-Pinckney Road. The students' efforts support the school's mission to remain a State of Michigan Certified Green School. The project also ties in with the students' earth science lessons this year, said teacher Holly Kunick; adding that "the children feel good about doing something proactive. We're not just talking about it. We're doing something."

We use Internet sites like MySpace to get the message out.” For young children, the 2/42 crew transforms the high school cafeteria into “Weetopia,” where children up to 5 years old are taught. A series of tents, tables and creatively made lily pads provide the setting. Day care operator Wendy Griest says she’s been bringing children to the 2/42 Church for two years. “My kids love it,” says Griest. “T here’s something for every age group.” This is where 11-year-old 'lyier Floyd wants to spend his Sundays. “I like the lessons we learn and the dancing,” he says. His mom, Marilyn Floyd, is one of the coordinators for the children’s activities. “We encourage actions and movement like dancing to help kids remember the words they’re taught,” says Floyd. “The lessons are geared to where they are in life.” “I like the band and listening to the speakers,” says 13- year-old Andrew Golda from Milford, who likes helping with the set up. “Brad Tate is funny.” Jon Clark and Kurtis Minney, both from Howell, first learned about the 2/42 Church through the postcards volunteers sent out when the church was launched in Brighton three years ago. “You see people walking the talk here,” says Clark. “What’s taught from the pulpit is lived out.” “I like that we do a lot of community service like handing out clothing and food,” says Minney. Sue Hanington, director of contribution for the church, participates with the nonprofit and social service agencies in Livingston County to find out where the needs are. “Church is meant to be outside of doors,” says Hanington. “Most of what we do is for outreach in the community.” The 2/42 Church offered donated clothing at Community Connect, an event earlier this year in Brighton. The church is also involved with the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell, and partners with the Family Fitness Factory in Hamburg Township on summer water events. Brighton residents Bob and Kim Smith were instrumental in launching the 2/42 Church. “The idea was to get people in the city of Brighton connected,” says Kim Smith. Dummitt says the 2/42 Church in Brighton is the only one in the country with that name. Members of three churches came together to create it: The East 91st Street Church in Indianapolis, the Community Christian Church in Chicago, and the New Churches of Christ Evangelism.

Our goal was to get people who had never gone to church or hadn’t gone in a long time to come here.” “We want to help people change their lives,” says Bob Smith. “We’ve seen marriages restored here, substance abusers get clean, and families reunited. People are encouraged to focus on other people rather than ju st themselves.” Of the 2/42 Church’s original members, 21 moved to the area from northern Kentucl^ and Ohio to get things started, including Hanington. “We made a three-year commitment to come here, and have no plans to leave,” says Hanington. “We love what we do.” Why was Brighton chosen as a location? Hanington says a lot of research went into the decision. “Livingston County has been one of the fastest-growing counties in Michigan,” says Hanington. “The size of the population and the density in this area affected our decision. So did numbers that showed that only 27 percent of the people in the area a ttended a church.” Dummitt calls it “likely” that the church would eventually have its own building a t some point “as long as it could be a blessing to the community.” “We wouldn’t just want it to be used on Sunday mornings and then sit idle. We’d want it to be a youth center, a senior center, a coffee house, and be used by community education.” The 2/42 Church is now working on plans to sta rt a new congregation as early as this fall in the Ann Arbor area, using a theater at the Showcase Cinemas just off US-23 in Pittsfield Township. Steve O’Dell, who has lived in Ann Arbor for 17 years, will be the campus pastor at the new congregation. “The 2/42 Church has a simple “Three C” philosophy: Celebrate, connect, and contribute,” says O’Dell. “This church is real. There’s not a lot of pretense or politics, and that resonates with people.” According to Hanington, the name 2/42 comes fi-om the Bible’s book of Acts, chapter 2, verses 42-47, which refer to when Jesu s and his disciples created the first church. “We want to be the first church,” says Hanington. “We’ve been so blessed. We’ve grown a lot in the last three years and have members from Brighton and Howell and as far away as Fenton, Ann Arbor, and Livonia. We’re blessed to have the space we do at the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts. We give all the credit to God.” Lisa Carolin can be reached at lcarolin@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010. ^ r a n Dr. Brad Rondeau c f O liv e r ^ e n ^ a f (810) 225-TEETH (8338) 'k'k'k'k^'k'k'k'irk'k. 7600 Grand River Ave., Suite 295, Brighton In the Livingston Centre, next to B.A.C.

In March of 2006, the American Red Cross reinstated back blows as the first treatment response. The reminder comes afte r a Brighton teacher was honored last month by the Red Cross as an “Everyday Hero” for using the Heimlich maneuver to help one of her students. “It changed from doing abdominal thrusts to doing a combination of back blows with the victim being bent over,” says Brothers. “You do a combination of five back blows, then have the victim stand upright for a series of five abdominal thrusts and then repeat the cycle.” R e a c h u s !

Pinckney, Michigan 48169, (734) 878-6206: and shall hear comments from the public on the Village of Pinckney’s proposed Ordinance providing for the appointment of the Village of Pinckney Village Clerk. At the hearing to be conducted by the Village Council, all persons interested shall be given an opportunity to be heard, and any Written materials shall be received and considered. Persons providing written comments are encouraged to file them with the Village Clerk in advance of the public hearing for di.stribution to Council members. The Village of Pinckney will provide necessary reasonable auxiliary aids and services, such as signers for hearing impaired and audio tapes of printed materials being considered at the meeting, to individuals with disabilities at the hearing upon 5 days advance notice to the Village Clerk at the address or phone number listed above. Amy Felty, Village Clerk 4 The universal sign that someone is choking is when they put their hands on their throat. Brothers cautions people to ask someone if they are choking first. When the victim can no longer cough, speak or breathe, begin the cycle. “When someone s ta rts to choke, coughing should bring the object up,” says Brothers. “When the victim can’t cough, speak or b reathe, th ey ’re not getting any air, and th a t’s when you need to s ta rt the cycle of back blows and abdominal th ru sts. T h a t’s for a conscious choking person.” She says that for an unconscious choking person, call 911 first, then open their airway, remove any foreign object, and look, listen and feel for breathing. If th e re ’s no sign of breathing, give two rescue breaths. If the air doesn’t get into the victim and their chest doesn’t rise, retilt their head and give two breaths again. Brothers says to do 30 chest compressions, but again advises people to get proper training by learning the skills on a mannequin. The response also is different for someone who is pregnant, and that is also part of the Red Cross training.

Coworkers around the ofBce call me “Spiderman.” Superhero nicknames are everywhere in sports. Shaquille O’Neal proclaims to be “Superman.” t ^ o would argue with a 7-foot-l basketball star who weighs 320 pounds? Golfer Woody Austin earned his “Aquaman” moniker for his inadvertent slip into a pond while hitting a shot at last year’s Presidents Cup in Montreal. He was such a good sport about it, he wore a diver’s mask during his next round of golf. Unfortunately, I didn’t earn my nickname for any dramatic athletic accomplishment. I was bitten by a spider about three weeks ago on my lower back. Not just any spider - a poisonous hairy brown recluse spider. I don’t know when or how I was bitten, but I have theories. Maybe it was while I was sleeping (a creepy thought I refuse to believe to keep me sleeping peacefully at night). More likely, I was playing in the basement with my kids when it got me. Or it was hiding in my shirt when I put it on. I’m told these spiders do live in Michigan, but I believe my little haiiy foe traveled all the way from Florida in my luggage after a family vacation. Two doctor’s visits, including a Very painful one to clean the bite, and three bottles of pills later, I think I’ve finally beaten the bite. There’s still a golf ballsized wound on my back that will likely develop into a permanent scar. I can’t help but fret over the irony of it adl: I go to Disney World and get bit by a poisonous spider, and Pinckney’s Erik Reichenbach travels all the way around the world to Micronesia, an exotic locale filled with snakes, sharks and spiders, for the TV show Siuwivor and comes home with a tan. Some people have all the luck. OK, back to sports ... o uch... it’s hard to sit up straight and type with this boo-boo rubbing against the chair. ■ The Livingston Corporate Olympics haven’t taken OS’ yet, but I hope they do. Sounds like a neat event for a good cause. Shane McKenzie is hosting it May 12-22 at various venues around Livingston County, including The Shark Club, the Fhmily Fitness Factory and Brighton Bowl. Businesses and organizations are being sought as both participants and sponsors. Ten difi'erent co-ed events - softball, golf, trivia, kickball, billiards, darts, basketball, bowling, volleyball and a tug-of-war - will determine the winner. The proceeds will go toward the Youth Sports Scholarship Flmd aimed at helping underprivileged youth afford sports programs and camps. For information, visit www.corporateolympics. com or call 810-772-1180. ■ The second annual Mount Brighton Snowmobile Hill Climb didn’t crash and bum like some of the riders did last weekend at the popular ski hill. Organizer Kris Bedard, of the Central Ontario Snowmobile Drag Racers Association, estimated that more than 2,200 spectators watched 257 riders March 15 with the next day’s totals at 1,800 fans and 187 entries. He plans to sell a DVD of the event through his web site, www.cosdra.com. The bigger jumps provided the biggest thrills. “It was very entertaining. There were some pretty good wipeouts,” Bedard said.

Batters shake off rust in cage P i t c h in g m a c h in e h e lp s w i t h s w in g s JASON DEEGAN,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Zach Vitkuske, 10, of Brighton, prepares to hit a pitch inside the new batting cage at Family Fitness Factory in Hamburg Township. BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community Nev/s Emmerson Marlatt steps into the batting cage at the Family Fitness Factory in Hamburg Township. The 10-year-Dld fourth-grader from Hawkins Elementary takes his stance next to the makeshift home plate. He swings and fouls off the first ball out of the pitching machine. As more come, he makes better contact, becoming comfortable with the pitches’ speed and direction. Teammates from the Under-10 Brighton TVavel Baseball black team watch the action, patiently awaiting their turn. “We’ve got the machine set at 55 miles per hour,” assistant coach J a son Wagner explains. “That’s pretty good for this age. If you hit this, live pitching won’t look too bad.” Wagner calls the cage “a godsend” for area baseball players looking to shake the rust of their swings during the winter. The cage is a result of a collaboration between the Family Fitness Factory and youth baseball coach Mike Neibauer. Neibauer approached Wally Rolph, executive director of the fitness ee rie r, with the idea a fte r securing a cage and pitching machine from a friend. Baseball and softball teams in the Kensington Valley Baseball-Softball Association use a cage inside the BECC Building, at 125 S. Church St., Brighton, for an hour once a week, but many coaches and players wanted more. The nearest indoor cages are in Wixom. Wagner says his players are getting “triple” the swings over last winter. “It’s real important for young kids to get as much practice time in the winter,” Neibduer says. “When baseball starts this spring, S E E BATTING,82 Top Gun takes o ff V o l le y b a l l p r o g r a m a d ju s t in g t o n e w s e a s o n BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News J ennifer Dhaenens surveys the scene inside the gym at the Three Fires Middle School in Genoa Township. Two teams of girls, ages 13 and under, are practicing diligently on their skills, from bumping to setting, spiking and serving. Getting back on the court has Dhaenens fired up for another season of her Top Gun Volleyball Club, a travel program that attracts top players ages 12-18 from Livingston County and nearby communities like Milford and Dexter. “I’m excited. We’re all excited,” says Dhaenens, a former University of Michigan volleyball player (1982-85) who has been an assistant a t both U-M (1986-97) and Eastern Michigan University (1999-2001). The landscape of club volleyball has changed dramatically with the federally mandated season’s switch of high school volleyball from the Brighton's Cayla Watkins jumps for a spike during a recent practice with the Top Gun Volleyball Club at Three Fires Middle School in Howell.

Its impact has been both good and bad for Dhaenens, a Howell resident who took over the Top Gun program five years ago. She has more teams than ever - 13, including two regional teams that travel throughout Ohio and Indiana - b u t won’t have a national team this year. She took the high road that other clubs ignored, refusing to have tiyouts during the high school season. Top Gun had its tryouts in January, preparing for a season that runs March-June. “We decided the kids shouldn’t have to worry about club during their (fall) season,” she says. “We lost a few kids because they were nervous about having a place to play. I don’t re gret it. I would do it all over again.” It’s that attitude that has earned Top Gun its reputation as an elite club that balances being competitive with having fun.

VOLLEYBALL FRO M B1 Club focus on learning Athletic Union title several years ago. “The stress is on learning not winning,” says Sarah Ciolek, a senior at Aim Arbor Gabriel Richard High who used to play but now coaches for Top Gun. Dan McMaster, in his second year coaching, says the club is well organized. The U13-U18 teams compete in five one-day in-state AAU tournaments, plus the twoday state tournament May 31-June 1 n e a r Grand Rapids. T he more demanding re gional schedule includes up to 18 tournament dates, with multiple two-day tournaments th a t require an overnight stay. “There are a lot of other clubs, but Top Gun is more personalized,” McMaster says. “With the overall team concept, these girls end up being really close fiiends.” Dhaenens, who handles the club’s U-15 team and assists with the regional teams, believes her coaching staff is better than ever. She’s also happy about a new behavioral program she’s implementing to enhance team work and unity.

We want to get as much work done in the winter months, so when we hit the fields, a lot of the fundamental things we teach are already implanted in their heads.” Rolph plans to rent the cage and gym out to area baseball and softball teams on Sundays for $40 per hour, a rate lower than most facilities. Call 810- 231-4169 for information. The pitching machine only works with baseballs, but Neibauer says softball teams could still hit off a tee or use live pitching inside the cage. “How we do this winter depends on what we do with it in the summer,” Rolph says. “You could see four to sbc (cages here) by next summer.” Kevin Czajka, 10, a fifthgrader at Hilton Elementary in Brighton, calls the second-floor setup “pretty cool.” “It gives us an idea how fast pitchers will throw when we play games,” he says. Grant Dunatchik, 10, a fourth-grader at Cornerstone Christian School in Brighton, says he wants to practice more to get better. “I want to make it to the pros,” he says. = THE LIVINGSTON = C O M M U N I T Y N E W S A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE ENTRANTS Drew Burton Age Amira Williams Age 5 Adam Flickema Age 10 S P E C I A L T H A N K Y O U T O O U R S P O N S O R S ID 409 West Main • Downtown Brighton 810.229-0910 H O W E L L T H E A T E R | '.M.XXZXXXXXXX 3 1 5 E.

RETAIL REPORT BY CASEY HANS The Livingston Community News Danny Meier and Mark Adams were happy to be back at their regular morning coffee haunt at the Lil’ Chef restaurant, which reopened for business 'Tuesday at its new location in Brighton. For the past five months - as the landmark eatery was preparing to reopen - the two and their group of regulars met at other sites around town. But 'Ihesday morning, they were at the light and airy LiT Chef location at the Brookside Mall, just one block south of the restaurant’s previous location at the corner of Challis Road and Grand River Avenue. “My day is not complete if I don’t go to LiT Chef,” said Meier, owner of Meier Flowerland, who was so excited about the reopening that he put it on his store’s sign out front - and stopped by 'Riesday morning to make sure the sign was lighted so passersby could see it.

S tu d e n t s su sp e n d e d o ve r re ve a lin g cell p h o n e p h o to County prosecutor ^ also could file criminal charges BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News School officials have begun handing out suspensions to Pinckney students directly involved with receiving or transmitting a revealing photo a 14-year-old girl took of herself wiffi a cell phone and sent to her friends. Earlier this week, approximately 10 in-school and out-ofschool suspensions had been given out, said Pinckney Community High School Principal Jim Darga. In all, school officials have said there are about 20 students, including the girl, who could be disciplined. District officials said the photo of the Pinckney girl, which showed her genitals and her face, has reportedly been transmitted to at least 200 students throughout Livingston County and beyond. Some of the same students facing school suspension could also face criminal charges, as the picture could be considered child pornography because of the girl’s age, said Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse. Morse said he is awaiting a final report on the incident from the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department before deciding if he will pursue charges. The school suspensions are being given to students based on their level of involvement in the incident, said Darga, who said he learned of the picture Oct. 7 when a copy of it and a note identifying the girl was left anonymously on his desk. The students receiving the suspensions were identified through a comprehensive investigation led by school officials, Darga said. “The students have been pretty forthright,” he said. “We did not have to go to anything extreme to determine who was involved.” Although the picture was taken during the summer and shared with Mends before school started, copies of it began circulating more frequently after classes began this fall, school officials said. “That contributes to a disruption of the educational environment and that is why we determined that disciplinary action needed to be taken,” Darga said.

Bl School funding on ballot Brighton school buses, connputers, building repairs at issue in Nov. 4 election BYLISACAROLIN The Livingston Community News It will be up to Brighton area voters to decide if they would like to help pay for new computers, new school buses, and school building repairs in the school district. Voters will decide two separate proposals Nov. 4. One is a bond proposal that could provide the Brighton school district with buses and computers. The other is a sinking fund proposal that could provide district school buildings with new roofs, boilers, carpeting and more. With the school district struggling with a $2.5 million deficit, approving the two proposals would help take the pressure off the district’s operating budget, school officials say. “If we took the money for new buses and technology enhancements out of the district’s general fund, something else would have to be cut,” explains Brighton Superintendent Jim Craig. The bond proposal will be at or below a tax levy of 0.48 mill. That translates into a cost of $96 a year for the owner of a $200,000 home. The bonds can only be used for the purposes of repairing and purchasing school buses, and for acquiring and installing technology in the district. “By using newer technology, we can shrink the number of computers but increase access to the computers we do have,” says Elson Liu, director of technology for the Brighton school district. “We’re trying to be more efficient and smarter about how we use our resources.” According to Craig, the bonds would be for a toteJ of $15 million that would be issued in two parts. The first part in 2009, and the second part in 2014 for the purpose of keeping up with technology and keeping the bus SEE BOND,A4 Temporary chief aicked Bonnie Riutta was named the interim school chief in Brighton.

The school board approved the appointment on a 6-0 vote Monday, with board member Beth Minert absent. The interim contract will run through June 30 and a salary hasn’t been determined yet. Riutta, 55, will begin working with Superintendent Jim Craig this week as he prepares for his retirement, effective Nov. 1. He announced a week ago that he is leaving the district to take a job as director and chief operating officer of the Middle Cities Risk Management 'Trust and the Middle Cities Workers’ Compensation Rind in Lansing. Riutta filled the curriculum position in the district Until she resigned in January 2005. She had previously spent eight months as Brighton’s interim superintendent in 1994. She has continued to work with several school districts as a consultant. “I still live in the Brighton community and keep up on what’s going on,” Riutta said. “When (school board president) Bill Anderson called me, I thought that being retired is nice, but if I can help the district to lay the groundwork to move forward, I will do that.” Riutta said her priorities as interim superintendent will be bringing everyone together to work on the $2.5 million deficit in the current budget, filling a position in the finance office on a temporary basis and starting the process to hire a new superintendent. “I still know everybody in Brighton and have faith and confidence with us all pulling in the same direction that we can figure this out,” says Riutta. “There’s much work to be done, but we can do this.” Mike Hubert, assistant superintendent for finance for the Livingston Educational Service Agency, will provide direct assistance to the Brighton school district temporarily as well as continuing his own job.

Council members last week approved covering half of the cost of the program for November, providing the school district also contributes 50 percent of the cost. The program was continued for September and October, with the city and school board agreeing to split the cost. According to Mayor Pro Tern Ricci Bandkau, the city and school district have not given up looking for funding support and will ask individual township boards for help with the program. Students who live in the city comprise only 20 percent of the school population, with 80 percent living in adjoining townships. The city says it can no longer afford the program without help.

Incumbents Kevin Dobis and Norm Klein face challengers Jerry Balk, Keith Chambers, Clement “Kem” Charboneau, Frank Gazdecki, Don Speer and G. Richard McCloskey for four trustee seats in the Nov. 4 general election. Democrat Dobis, 34, and Republican Klein, 49, both say they are proud of what the b o ^ has accomplished during their tenure. Dobis, who is the board’s representative on the planning commission, said he is especially pleased with work to make township ordinances fair and equitable. “I want to continue the progress we’ve started so all residents can be proud to call this their home,” he said. Seeing Patterson Lake Road improved and re-paved and working with the village of Pinckney on police services, recreational opportunities and improvements to the township’s portion of the Lakelands and development of a townshipwide recycling program are tops on Dobis’ list of goals. Maintaining the township’s rural character, a platform he ran on four years ago, is still high on Klein’s list of priorities. But, he said he’d also like to help attract more activityoriented businesses, such as a bowling alley, to the area. And, Klein said, work to make township rules fair for all should continue. “There needs to be a process, and it needs to be followed by everyone,” Klein said. “We all Putnam Township trustee 4-year term, elect 4 ■ Jerry Balk Age: 66.

Chambers, 41, witnessed the latter fiirst-hand, he said, when he and wife, Jennifer, sought to expand a farm-themed daycare at their Farley Road home. “It was ‘no’ before we even finished what we had to say,” said Chambers, a Republican. “They were close-minded and unwilling to listen fi’om the start, and that’s not right.” The board, he said, should listen to the community as a whole, not just to a few disgruntled residents. “I will listen,” Chambers said. “And I will look out for families. This is not just a retirement community. It’s a community for everybody.” Charboneau, 72, is running as write-in candidate, which means those wishing to vote for him must write in his name under the trustee heading and fill in the oval next to it. It will be a challenge to win, Charboneau said, adding that he needed to try. “The current board members are like kids in a candy store with power,” he said. “There are more ordinances here than people, and they’re all about restrictions. People come out here to live their lives, not to sit and die.” Ordinances, Charboneau said, should help and guide people and protect their health and safety, not just keep things out of the township. “This group only listens to the constant complainers, not the residents as a whole,” Charboneau said. “I’m sure that’s cost us plenty.” Speer, 50, is running with no party affiliation. He said the phrase “Keep Putnam Rural” is “silliness.” “It lacks common sense,” he said. “How do you sustain anything? I’ve been here for 38 years, and I’m the first to agree that I love the rural atmosphere, but you can’t move here and shut the door. There has to be a certain amount of reasonable growth.” Speer said he’s concerned a lack of growth will cut into the township’s ability to keep up with road maintenance and police and fire services, things he said are vital to residents’ quality of life. McCloskey, 72, a Republican, is ending his 16th year as township treasurer. While he wants to step away from that job, he doesn’t want to stop serving residents. “With the economy the way it is, I don’t think we face too many issues related to growth,” he said. “But we do face a challenge in maintaining the things we have. What we need to do at this point is protect what we have and not look at starting any new programs.” The new board, McCloskey said, has to tiy to find compromise with issues that arise regarding events and traffic in the hamlet in Hell, the wants and needs of businesses and the things residents want to do with their land. There are ways to work with all the people out there,” he said. Balk, 66, a Republican, and Gazdecki, a Democrat, were unavailable for comment.

Republican Bill Rogers and Democrat Donna Anderson are seeking the seat being vacated by Republican Chris Ward, who is not allowed to run again because of term limitations. The 66th District includes the townships of Marion, Oceola, Genoa, Brighton and Green Oak and part of western Oakland County. In August, Rogers defeated Jason Corosanite in the Republican primary, and Anderson defeated Tom Crawford in the Democratic Primary. Rogers is in his 10th year on the Livingston County Board of Commissioners, and his third year as chairman of the board. He is the brother of U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Howell. He says the top issue facing the district and the state is the economy. “If we do not get employers to come into this state to generate employment, we won’t be able to get other things funded,” said Rogers. “We need to stave off the Bill Rogers, a Republican, and Donna Anderson, a Democrat, are vying for the 66th District state House seat on Nov. 4. hemorrhaging of auto jobs. I don’t believe manufacturing as we knew it is going to come back. “We have to deal with clean jobs-brain power not smokestacks.” Anderson agrees that the most important issue is jobs. “We need to do other things to get jobs in Michigan and keep them here,” said Anderson. “Tax abatements help. We need to advertise our skilled workforce, and have better education so that we continue to have a skilled workforce. By having a better education system and educating children even earlier, from birth to 5 years when they learn best, we can also stop the flow of people into our prisons. We spend $3,500 per prisoner per year that could be spent on education and health care.” Anderson said she’s very concerned about everyone having aceess to health care. “We need to make sure we have health care for all of our citizens,” she said. “If everyone were insured, we 66th State House 2-year term; vote for 1 ■ Bill Rogers Age: 54.

When you’re not paying for anything, you’re running to the doctor when you get a sniffle. Everybody has the capability of insurance even when they claim they don’t. Hospitals do not turn people away.” Rogers and Anderson disagree on the state ballot issue that would expand embryonic stem cell research. “Adult stem cell research is fine, but not embryonic stem cell research,” said Rogers. “We’ve had some successes with the current system we have. Nothing has been proven yet with embryonic stem cell research. I think it’s unnecessary.” Anderson said “embryonic stem cells are a tremendous help to our research, and parents have control over whether the embryos are donated for research. We have lost researchers who have gone to other states because of the limitations here. We’re putting a stranglehold on Michigan’s fine universities and losing jobs.” Anderson added she also strongly supports a clean environment in Michigan and that includes banning smoking in indoor places. “I know how to budget for a department and how to hire and fire, all the things that go with being a good manager,” she said. “I’m very passionate about what I’m doing and really want to go to the Statehouse to make Michigan a better place for my children and grandchildren.” Rogers said “If we do not get the economy straightened out, we cannot fund anything. We have to eontrol spending. I can’t tax my way out of this and keep charging the people more money. As a small business person, I can guarantee you it doesn’t work.” Lisa Carotin can be reached at Icarolin® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010.

Mike Porath and Richard Bennett are each hoping to unseat Rau in the Nov. 4 general election. Rau, 47, a Republican, was elected two years ago to finish the unfulfilled term of the late Bob Hollister, who died in office in 2005. During his tenure, Rau said he’s promoted a positive environment for businesses and residents, helped establish zoning rules that are fair and equitable to all and overseen changes that make Putnam a more attractive place for people to live. Among them, he said, are contracting for police services with the village of Pinckney instead of the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department, a move that saved about $50,000 the first year, and constructing a much-needed new township hall on West M-36 and converting the old hall into a new senior citizen center. “We did this by living within our means,” Rau said. “It was all done without taking money away from the people or raising their taxes.” The $700,000 bond to fund the 5,100-square-foot hall is to be paid back by funds from cable franchise fees and a local gravel pit. The sale of the township annex at 122 S. Howell St. in Pinckney, also would go toward bond repay- Putnam Township Supervisor 4-year term, elect / ■ Richard Bennett Age: 68.

Rau’s challengers, though, are critical of the township hall project, saying they’ve heard complaints from residents that it was built despite voter turndown of a $5 million bond issue for a new hall, senior center and fire department in 2006. While current officials argue that the tax increase, not the hall was voted down, Bennett, 68, said building it anyway was a slap in the face to residents. “They could have asked people if they wanted a hall this way, but they didn’t,” said Bennett, who’s running with no party affiliation. “They just took it upon themselves to make a decision for the people.” Bennett, who was township supervisor from 2000-04, also said there is a lack of a single vision for the township among the board, planning commission and zoning board of appeals. That, he said, causes inequities in decisions on zoning. “They make it hard for anyone to do anything,” Bennett said. “It’s aU about restriction, not cooperation and that’s not representing the people. Those put in office should help the township grow and prosper and keep its tax base in place.” If elected, Bennett said he would promote an environment of cooperation that reaches out to residents, as well as businesses in Pinckney and the hamlet of Hell. Porath, 57, a Democrat and current member of the township’s planning commission, agrees that better communication among boards is needed and that it’s the supervisor’s job to see that it happens. He also wants to see more public input on township business. “If that means going to the people instead of waiting for them to come to me, that’s what I will do,” he said. “The supervisor should know what’s going on and see that proper procedure is followed by everyone.” Fostering better relations with Pinckney also is high on Porath’s list of goals. “We need to put personalities aside and work together,” he said. “What’s good for the village is good for the township and vice versa. We need to remember that the goal is to create a better community for the people.” Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynew5.com or at 810-844-2011. LIL' CHEF FRO M A1 Restaurant has been a fixture in Brighton for 35 years Adams, owner of Adams Well Drilling, said upwards of eight friends have been coming to Lil’ Chef for morning coffee - and sometimes breakfast - for years. “It’s the friendships,” he said. “How do you give up the friendships you’ve had for 35 years? It’s just a good way to start your day.” Fran and Bob Benoist of Hamburg Township were just having breakfast Tuesday, enjoying the atmosphere. “It’s about time,” Bob Benoist said about the popular spot reopening. Fran Benoist said the couple likes the service and “the food is good. The people are very friendly. We’ve been watching the sign for months” waiting for the restaurant to reopen. The new restaurant seats 146, as the former one did, said owner Scott Steele, who grew up in the family business that was started by his/ parents, Jim and Noralie Steele. Jim Steele had owned and operated restaurants in other locations before starting the independent Lil’ Chef at its old location. The “LiT Chef” character adorns the front of the new building, which fronts Grand River Avenue. Scott Steele said he isn’t sure where the character came from, but “I’d like to think it could be named for me,” he said. “I used to stand on a milk crate In the kitchen and cook with the other guys on the line.” Lil'Chef owner Scott Steele greets Eleanore and Bill Hartley at his reopened restaurant Tuesday morning at the Brookside Mall in Brighton. Below, Sue Wenzel of Pinckney has been a Lil' Chef employee and family friend since the restaurant opened. She says the restaurant is like a big family. PHOTOS : J IM JAG D F E LD . S P E C IA L TO TH E N EW S Scott Steele now owns and operates the business and said 28 employees had returned to work at the new site. Sue Wenzel of Pinckney has been a friend of the family - and worked in the business - since the beginning. She’s back part-time to help “fill in and give everybody a day off.” She started at the restaurant 35 years ago to earn a little extra cash when she and her husband oymed a marina on Zukey Lake. Steele literally moved the old kitchen to its new location - and set it up exactly the same way as he designed the new building. Howell’s Ed Parrish has worked at the restaurant since 1986. “I’ve been cooking since I was 14,” he added, noting that the kitchen setup works just fine. Parrish said breakfast at Lil’ Chef is still the most popular item on the menu. What did he do while the restaurant was closed? Parrish said he got in a lot of fishing over the summer - his first summer vacation ever. He also plays in a classic rock band called Cohort, which kept him busy. LiT Chef closed earlier this year to make way for a new 5,500-square-foot Starbucks coffee shop and Olga’s Kitchen restaurant on the site; the Olga’s is now open.

PINCKNEY F R O M A1 Similar incidents have happened in other states ment several cases in which teens sent photos of themselves in the nude to other students. Pinckney school officials said they learned of similar incidents at a conference on safety just a few weeks ago. “So it’s not just happening here,” Superintendent Dan Danosly said. In a letter sent to parents a week ago, Danosl^ and Darga urged parents to check the images on their children’s cell phones for inappropriate content. “The advent of the electronic age has brought with it conveniences and capabilities unimaginable even 10 years ago,” the letter said. “Along with the benefits have also come some problems.” Earlier this month, a 15-yearold girl in Newark, Ohio, was charged with felony offenses after she sent nude photos of herself to friends’ cell phones. Similar incidents have been reported in New Jersey, New York, Alabama, Utah, Pennsylvania, Texas and Connecticut. In many cases, the teens originally sent the photos to their boyfriends or girlfriends, who then shared them with others. Allison Knapp, 10, of Brighton Township boards her bus at Hilton Elementary School on a recent weekday. A proposed Brighton Area Schools bond issue that goes to voters on Nov. 4 would pay for school bus repairs and replacement as well as technology improvements and equipment for the district. J E S S IC A M C IN T Y R E , TH E L IV IN G STO N C O M M U N IT Y N EW S BOND F R O M A1 Proposals would make millage 6.20 fleet as new as possible. “Six years for a computer in today’s world is getting pretty old,” says Britton school board member Joe Carney. “All of this money would be spent on things for the students. None of it could be spent on wages. It’s virtually the same amount residents were paying in 2007.” If voters approve the bond proposal, money will go to buying 1,600 computers, upgrades of Windows 98 to current technology, digital video equipment including cameras, microphones, computers and mixers, wireless networks in all the buildings, technology to assist special education students, and Lego Robotics for middle school students. The remaining money would go toward replacing 46 buses in stages, updating the fleet, which currently includes buses from as far back as 1990. At the completion of the plan, the model year range would be 2005-2015. The other proposal seeks approval of a sinking fund for repair and improvement of school buildings. A sinking fund levy is a special millage that is available to school districts only for land purchase, construction, renovation or repairs. In Brighton, the sinking fund would authorize the school district to levy 0.52 mills for 10 years, which would cost the owner of a $200,000 home $104 per year. The projects that the sinking fund proposal would pay for include roof replacements at Hawkins, Hilton, Homung and Spencer Elementary Schools and at Scranton Middle School as well as carpet replacements at Scranton and Hilton, and boiler replacements at Hornung and Lindbom Elementary Schools. It would also include resurfacing Brighton High School’s parking lot, repairing and replacing tennis courts at the h i^ school as well as repairing the track. “If you vote for these two proposals, your millage will be the same as it was in 2007,” says Craig, adding that there was a drop this year because the previous siifldng fund, which was levied for 10 years and approved in 1998, had ended. “If these proposals don’t get the vote, things deteriorate, or else you finance the improvements by borrowing money. The disadvantage is it ends up costing more.” If both proposals pass, then in 2009, the bond proposal (0.48 mill) and the proposed sinking fund (0.52 mill) would make the On the ballot ■ What: Two separate ballot proposa ls to provide fu n d in g for te ch n o lo g y and building improvements in the Brighton Area Schools. ■ Who: Voters in the Brighton School District. ■ Bond Proposal: A tax levy at o r b elow 0.48 mill that will cost the own er of a $200,000 h om e $96 a year.

John Conely, a parent in the Brighton school district, is part of a group of local residents who call themselves the Parents Union. He says that they are against the bond and sinking fund proposals passing at this time. “The purpose behind it is that the school system in Brighton has continued to promote their teachers’ contracts to a level that has bankrupted Brighton schools. I believe that to get the house in order, they need to find a balance within the system and operate within their means, and then we can look for additional funding for things to improve the schools.” Craig says student growth has driven bond issues in the county in the past. That’s changed. “Our challenge is that we don’t have any growth, but we still need to make investments in facilities,” says Craig. In addition to improving safely for students getting to school and in school buildings, Craig says the investment in technology is a long-term pay off. “We need to build an educated work force with technical skills. We need a workforce in Michigan that allows us to diversify our economy, and high tech is a huge part of that.” Reach Lisa Carotin aticarolin® livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2010.

Now, Fondriest is seeking a two-year term on the school boanl, and he’s being challenged by Deborah Dricl^ who also applied for the opening last December. Fondriest, 51, the current board treasurer, is a marketing tech specialist at Material Sciences Corp. in Canton Township. He is married to Debbie Fondriest, a Howell school secretary, and the couple has four children. “I’ve always worked with kids,” Fondriest says, citing his past membership in the Lateon Road Elementary p ro and coaching junior sports. Drick, 47, is the former executive director of Ingham East Habitat for Humanity. She is married to Jay Drick, an attorney who is running for district judge in the November election. The couple, who live in the city of Howell, has three grown children who went through the Howell school system and Drick two grandchildren who attend the Howell schools. Fondriest says there are a number of issues facing the school district, including “the need to get the MEAP and Adequate Yearly Progress scores stabilized and showing improvement and maintaining financial stability.” He says that a plan of action will be needed on the future of Latson Road Elementary School, given the probability of a future interchange at 1-96 and Latson Road. Drick says she would be a valuable board member. “I’m very creative in problem- solving,” she says, adding that during her career she started several business and nonprofit organizations. Drick and Fondriest both say reopening Parker High School - a $70 million facility used one year but now mostly vacant due to lack of funds to operate it - is one of the top priorities facing the board. Drick says since the public approved a bond issue in 2003 to build Parker, she feels a responsibility to reopen it. Fondriest would push for a “3-to-5 year strategic plan on what we’re going to do with Parker.” Drick says her experience as a “skilled facilitator and trainer” and her calm demeanor would be an asset on the board. “I don’t get rattled easily; I work well in crises,” she says. Fondriest says the current school board, where he is a member, works well together and he would like to see that continue. “We don’t always agree, but we’ve got a pretty good team, and I do want that to continue,” he says. A district in transition 8 hopefuls compete for a pair of 4-year seats ELECTION 2008 BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News An expansive field of eight candidates is competing for two four-year seats on the Howell Board of Education. Among them are two current board members who were appointed to fill vacancies. Michael Yenshaw, named last year to replace Mary Jo Dymond, is the current board secretary. Mark Michaels - the board’s newest member - was appointed in August to replace Kim Shumaker, who moved out of the district. Challenging them are Phillip Arrington, Patricia Howie, Kris Kauserud, Doug Moore, Robert E. Parker and Ann Routt. Most candidates identified the three most important issues facing the Howell Public Schools as finances, deciding what to do with the mostly vacant Parker High School and improving the district’s academic standing, particularly at the high school level. Parker opened in 2007 only to be closed after one year due to a lack of operating funds. Phillip Arrington: The 57-year-old is a professor of English at Eastern Michigan University. A member of the American Association of University Professors union, he has been endorsed by the Howell Education As- Arrington sociation. Arrington says he would be a valuable asset to the board in contract negotiations. “I would understand better and communicate better with unionized teachers, since I am a member myself,” he says. Patricia Howie: She is an insurance underwriter who finished as runner-up to Mark Michaels among seven candidates for appointment to a board vacancy in August. Howie, 50, says curriculum is a big short-term issue facing the board. “(Superintendent Ted) Gardella’s plan in having the principals in charge makes a lot of sense,” she says. “Also, we should bring up our (adequate yearly progress) scores.” Kris Kauserud: A Howell High School alumnus, the 50-year-old owns Kauserud Consulting. He says his business experience would be an asset. “I’ve worked on business teams, executive boards, (and) supervised new computer systems,” he says. Kauserud says the biggest problems facing the school district are “finances and the quality of education. We aren’t preparing kids for life.” Mark Michaels: The 44- year-old handyman owns his own business after being employed for 10 years at Citizens Insurance of Howell in the area of finance. “I work for alternate solutions to problems. rather than traditional solutions,” Michaels says. Doug a s ssjj Michaels Moore: He says the focus should be on “educational excellence,” and that Howell missed the mark “in the Moore high school not making adequate yearly progress in the last school year and having a poor graduating rate, measures that indicate we need some work on academics.” Moore, 45, is an engineer in product development at the GM Proving Grounds and has three children in the Howell Public Schools. Robert E. Parker: The attorney comes fi'om a line of family members who have served on the Howell school board, and says he wants to carry on the tradition. Parker’s father, Robert W, and uncle, William R. (for whom Parker High School is named), each served on the school board. “My forte is finances, and the board needs a member who is on top of school financing,” says Parker, 68, a Howell attorney who practices in probate and trust law.

A N G E L A SP O O N E R ,T H E L IV IN G S T O N C O M M U N IT Y N EW S Candidates vie again for board seat ELECTION 2008 BY LAURIE HUMPHRE Y The Livingston Community News The two candidates vying for the Marion 'Township supervisor seat are no strangers to one another. Both applied to fill the supervisor seat vacated by Jim Leppekin2001. Republican Bob Hanvey was ^ picked to fill the vacancy, and ^ now Jefi' Grainger, who has no party affiliation, is challenging the incumbent in the Nov. 4 election. Grainger, 36, is a fourthgeneration Marion 'Township resident, whose family owns . Grainger’s Apple Orchard. w A cM designer by trade, Grainger believes the township needs better planning for futm^ development. He is willing to scale back hours at his work and request a full-time township manager to achieve his goal if he is elected. He is critical of the location for the Howell High School Parker Campus and the potential site for St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital on the former Marion Oaks Golf Course, saying they are too close to homes. He believes their presence, and the approval of their special-use permits, also has set the stage for future development. “As soon as the economy turns up, we will have this huge influx of commercial development (requests,)” he says. He believes the current township zoning ordinance is ill-prepared to address developer requests without cutting into residential land and keeping the township out of lawsuits. Hanvey, 64, said the zoning ordinance may have shortcomings, but he argues that the document provides township leaders the latitude needed to address development requests. “I haven’t put this on my Web site yet, but we were asked by the MDEQ (Michigan Department of Environmental Quality) to use it as a model for the state,” he says. Hanvey, who goes to the board office every day, agrees with his challenger that futo e growth is a top concern. Although multiple single-family home developments have stalled due to the economy, there is a potential for more than 3,000 new housing units that alreacfy have received preliminary approval. “'That woiUd almost double the size of the township,” Hanvey says. He recognizes a potential surge of residents, up from about 3,500 cmrent households, requires a plan and implementation for water and sewer growth. As vice chairman of the Marion Howell Oceola and Genoa Water Authority, Hanvey said he has worked on the plan.

Michael Yenshaw: The 48-yearold trooper at the Michigan State Police post in Brighton says the three main issues facing the school district are finding a use for the Parker Campus, finances and curriculum. “The curriculum needs to be re-evaluated to make sure it is sufficient to meet state standards that go into effect in 2011,” he says. Yenshaw adds finances are extremely important “because 92 percent of our revenue is from the state.” Tom Tolen can be reached at ttoien@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2009.

If all goes as planned, project designers Hubble, Roth and Clark will bring informal designs to the council next month for the first 23 streets slated for improvement. Final designs would follow in early next year and work is scheduled to begin next June. The cost for 11 miles of work will be split between the city, an approved low-interest loan from the state’s Drinking Water Revolving FUnd and the Downtown Development Authority. Additionally, City Council members approved language last summer that would allow the city to levy 1 mill against all residential property owners in the city if needed. Because the city only collects 14.9443 mills of the full 16.017 mills it is allowed, taxes can be raised without requiring voter approval. Fifty-three streets are identified for improvements through 2011, and prioritized according to road surface, underground utility condition, proximity to other areas of repair and routine maintenance. Public information sessions, one-on-one meetings, and walkabouts through the affected neighborhoods, all with representatives of Glatting- Jackson, a Florida-based planning and design firm already have taken place. The city also has reached out to various businesses and set up a blog (www.howellstreets. com) for local residents to vent concerns and ask questions. “We did it all to gain community input in terms of what their vision for their street was,” said Terry Wilson, deputy city manager, “and to answer a lot of questions.” Melanie Post, principal of Southeast Elementary school in Howell, was one of about 100 people in attendance for the 90-minute final presentation Oct. 9. She was impressed by “the vision” outlined for the city that would include improved streets, bump-out parking, and a dozen mini traffic circles. The back-angle parking, added bike lanes and landscaped traffic islands along Grand River Avenue all reminded her of her native city of Royal Oak, she said. When added with the conceptual plans for a two-story COURTESY , C ITY O F H OW E L L A conceptual vision plan for Howell's downtown area was unveiled during a public presentation on the $23 million citywide street improvement plan set to begin next June. This drawing, including the installation of traffic circles along Grand River Avenue, one at Michigan Avenue and second one at Walnut Street, includes potential areas of improvement and development that would extend beyond the scope of the current project.The vision was introduced to aid city leaders as they work to control growth and maintain the small-town feel. parking deck, shops, restaurants, brownstones and park area near the historic train depot, she said the city would “eclipse” anything the area has already seen. “To add this kind of vibrancy to downtown, you’d never have to leave,” she said. Lifelong resident Priscilla Shelters was less enthusiastic. A snowbird who has spent the last 14 years in Florida, she said she’s concerned by plans for large traffic circles such as those suggested along Grand River Avenue. Similar circles were installed near her home in Florida, and held up as an example of good design during the Howell presentation, but “there were some serious issues with them,” she said. She didn’t know of any fatalities that occured as a result of the traffic circles, but said the vehicle crashes have been numerous.

Howell Twp. leader facing challenger ELECTION 2008 BY LINDA THEIL News Special Writer Running with no party affiliation, Kathy Kaminsky will challenge Republican incumbent Maureen Heikkinen for the Howell Township supervisor position come Nov. 4. Heikkinen, 37, running as Maureen Cross, unseated Bill Earl four years ago and ran unopposed in this year’s primary. She is a Livingston County native who graduated from Hartland High School in 1989. “I enjoy doing public service,” Heikkinen said, “I grew up in that - my grandfather, Eino Heikkinen, was a supervisor in Ramsey Township in the U.P” Heikkinen said Howell Township is doing a good job updating its ordinances and maintaining a healthy fund balance of $786,000 with an annual expenditure of about $1 million. Developing a twoacre park on township-owned property adjacent to the township hall on Byron Road is a project that is dear to her heart. “I really want to get this park built and see our fiveyear road plan come to fruition,” Heikldnen said. “I have a passion for this stufi' - 1 really do. I’ve learned a lot. Some things I had a grasp on, but other things like the roads and parks have been a learning experience for me. That’s probably why I’m good at my job because I have a passion for it.” Heikkinen works at Mill Creek Sporting Goods in Dexter and keeps the books for her father’s business, TLC Collision in Howell, in addition to her township position. Kaminsky, 50, who is cur- ^ rently serving on the town- % ship Planning Commission said her party affiliation is unimportant in the township race. “You’re running a business with the township and, frankly, I don’t see why any particu- g lar party has anything to do " with running the township,” KaminslQF said. “It’s an uphill battle for me because it’s a Republican area, but I feel real confident because I’ve been in the county for 30 years and in the township for four, and I’ve been involved in county and township politics.” Kaminsky owned Craftech Homes for 20 years. No longer in construction because of the collapse of the housing market, KaminslQ' is currently working for The Fence Spot in Brighton. The supervisor’s job pays $28,255 a year. Both candidates express _ confidence in the state of 1 Howell Township’s finances, saying the board has been fiscally responsible despite reductions in state revenuesharing funds. / LEGENDt.

She made a really tough call last week. She decided to skip the state golf tournament so that she would not miss another class that would be put her further behind in her class work. You know that was not an easy decision. She talked with Jason Deegan for a story that ran in last week’s edition, explaining that “I’ve missed a lot of school. I had to put my school first.” Good for you, Katie. I may have a different perspective if I were her golf coach, but I think lots of young studentathletes get pushed too hard, too early, to totally commit to a sport. I remember when my son was urged to skip a summer trip to a Boy Scout camp in New Mexico so he wouldn’t miss two weeks of training with his high school swim team. He went hiking. Katie Chappelle made the decision that was right for her and we all must respect her for that. Cheers: To the 300 or so people who turned out Oct. 11 for the initial Tour de Livingston bicycle rides sponsored by the Howell Rotary Club. It was a beautiful fall day for a ride and participants also raised $11,000 for the Livingston County United Way to help meet the basic needs of residents struggling to make ends meet. Cheers: To Howell school officials for insisting on an educational component for students in the contract to rent the mostly unused Parker High School for use as a movie set. The movie deal is good for Howell on a lot of levels. It makes good use of a largely empty building, it generates much-needed cash for the school district and it will pump some outside money into the region. But the really cool part of the deal calls for moviemakers to be receptive to ways in which to give Howell students a learning experience in the movie industry. Well done. Jeers: To the Catholic Diocese of Lansing for refusing to release enrollment figures for Catholic schools in Livingston County this fall. All the other private and schools in the county were happy to share enrollment figures and trends with the community. Openness is always the best policy and by not releasing enrollment figures it just helps to feed the rumor mill. That’s bad for everyone. Cheers: To all of the individuals and groups who are stepping up to help the Whitmore Lake Health Clinic. The medical clinic mostly serves patients who have little or no health insurance. The clinic struggles to pay its bills with reimbursements that don’t fully cover expenses. The director of the clinic has gone so far as to loan the clinic operating funds from her personal savings. Let’s hope supporters are able to figure out a financial plan that keeps the clinic’s doors open and preserves the life savings of Director Hilda Weiser Ely. Cheers: To all of those who have worked behind the scenes to organize another Legend of Sleepy Howell celebration coming up on Saturday. Halloween seems to have emerged as a tremendously popular holiday with kids and adults joining equally in the celebrations.

Hamell teaches at St. Joseph Catholic School in Howell and brought her third-graders to the school for a day. P H O T O S J IM JAG D F E LD , S P E C IA L TO T H E N EW S A visit to the olden days Students get a taste of 1880s life at one-room schoolhouse BY STEPHENIE KOEHN News Special Writer with barely suppressed excitement, 22 thirdgraders from St. Joseph Catholic School in Howell file into Fleming School and take their seats at wooden desks in the one-room schoolhouse. Dressed in fashions like those worn by children more than a century ago, the students and their teacher, Susan Hamell, are taking a step back in time to spend a day studying and soaking up a bit of 19th century atmosphere. “She’s had her outfit picked out for days,” parent Anni Ulman says of her 8-year-old daughter, Emma, who’s wearing a dress that has been worn by various family members over the years when their classes visited Fleming. Fleming School was built in 1880 at a cost of $925. Located at the intersection of Fleming and Wagner roads and Grand River Avenue in Howell Township (an area once known as Fleming or Six Corners), the white-frame building served as a school until 1957. Used as a warehouse in succeeding years by its owner, the Howell Public Schools, it is again being used to teach children. Today, hundreds of elementary students each year spend a day at the school, immersing themselves in learning as it might have been in 1880, explains volunteer Lynn Witmer. The program was started by former teacher Cynthia Toomey more than a dozen years ago and is administered by the nonprofit Fleming School Agency. The learning ranges from the period clothing that parents rig up for the day, to the McGuffey Readers and slates they use, to the old-fashioned games they play at recess. At first, students are intrigued by the differences between their modern classroom and this oldfashioned one, including a handwound Regulator clock, a potbellied, cast-iron stove that once heated the schoolhouse, quill pens and ink wells, a black slate chalkboard, wooden toys, a dunce corner and a long list of stern rules.

SCHOOL FRO M A 7 Students get an active history lesson at Fleming the similarities between those long-ago students and themselves. Just like their 19th century counterparts, many have experienced a sleigh ride, making candles or maple syrup, gathering eggs from a nest or pumping water from a well. “You know those oil lamps?” asks Emma Ulmart, pointing to several lamps hung on the walls. “I have two of them at my house. I’ve twisted the knob (to make the flame burn brighter). It was fun.” The kids don’t even seem to mind the authentic wood desks, with their unpadded wooden seats. They appear enthralled by the strange surroundings and their clothes that feature such details as coonskin hats, striped or plaid shirts and suspenders for some of the boys and long skirts, braids and bonnets for the girls. The teacher’s desk is adorned with an apple - that time-honored tool for securing a teacher’s good graces - a handbell to call children to class, and a wood pointer used both to point out lessons on the blackboard and to rap the knuckles of misbehaving students. Happily, Hamell’s well-behaved students receive no Imuckle raps. “This was a learning experience for the teacher, too,” Hamell says. “I was going to bring some pencils, but my teaching partner saved me from that mistake; they didn’t have pencils in 1880.” While eating their lunches.

Alex Bremer, 9, says he’s enjoying the day - a sentiment echoed by his classmates. “I like that the toys are handmade, because it’s like old-time,” Alex says. “And I like what everyone is wearing. I’ve never seen a board like that chalkboard - and I’ve never seen a flag with less than 50 stars.” BAND FROM A7 ACHIEVERS Workforce awards being handed out The Livingston County Workforce Development Council will present 15 awards to outstanding workforce programs, program alumni and volunteers at its 17th annual Awards Celebration today.

The Grand Rapids-base Spar-, tan Stores announced last week it has purchased the 17 Michigan grocery stores and 15 pharmacies, including the stores in Brighton and Howell. Shoppers probably won’t notice many major changes as VG’s becomes a Spartan Store - especially since VG’s has been a Spartan Stores customer for 50 years, said Jeanne Norcross, vice president of corporate affairs for Spartan Stores. “VG’s brand is very wellknown and respected in the market it serves and we respect that,” she said. The purchase is expected to take nearly a year to complete and could boost Spartan’s annual retail segment sales by about $310 million. The Fenton-based retail grocery operator is owned by the Van Gilder family and has been a customer of Spartan Stores for nearly 50 years. Health concerns and the lack of a succession plan are what drove Lisa Van Gilder and the Van Gilder family to sell the stores,” she said. “I have some health issues and can no longer continue in my role as president,” said the family member who serves as president of the company. Van Gilder said she didn’t want to detail her illness. However, the decision to sell was a family one that included her father, VG’s founder, Russell Van Gilder Jr, her mother, Shirley, and brother Russell Van Gilder III.

The four local teams swept the first crossovers with the north division last week, with only Milford losing. The Howell Highlanders won the first KLAA Lakes Conference championship with a thrilling 28-26 win over old Kensington Valley Conference rival Lakeland. Hartland’s 30- 12 win over Waterford Mott clinched the Eagles’ first playoff bid in 10 years. Even Brighton and Pinckney, two teams that have struggled for every yard, won as well. Fbr the Pirates and Bulldogs, the wins come a bit too late in the season, but they’re still playing for pride. It’s the Eagles and the Highlanders who have much more to play for in their regular- season finales tonight. The Highlanders are in the mix to host a first-round playoff game. The Eagles need to keep their momentum. Here’s a look at tonight’s picks: Pinckney (2-6) at Novi (6-2), 7 p.m. - The Pirates haven’t beaten the Wildcats since 2001, a streak of six straight losses. You have to wonder how many more losses can Pinckney coach Dan Burkholder take before he steps down to let someone else try to revive the program. Burkholder is 6-38 in five seasons. Novi 35, Pinckney 6. South Lyon (4-4) at Brighton (2-6), 7 p.m. - The Lions, who beat Westland John Glerm, 22- 7, have won three straight but really have no shot at the playoffs (there are 25 4-4 Class A teams with more playoff points than them). The Lions are 3-6 against the Bulldogs this decade, but Brighton is on track to score its fewest points (92 to date) since 1980. South Lyon 22, Brighton 17. Howeli (7-1) at Jackson (4-4), 7 p.m. - The Highlanders have won three games by three points or less. This one shouldn’t be a bam-bumer. Howell 28, Jackson 7. Whitmore Lake (7-1) at Ottawa Lake Whiteford (3-5), 7 p.m. - People in the football business call this a “trap game.” The lYojans could easily be looking past a losing team toward the playoffs, but that would be a mistake. They are 3-5 against Whiteford since 2000. And last week’s 19-6 win over Clinton wasn’t particularly impressive. The TVojans fumbled the football six times. 'They need to clean that up to gear up for the second season. Whitmore Lake 35, Ottawa Lake Whiteford 24. Corunna (4-4) at Fowlerville (4-4) 7 p.m. - The Gladiators’ 28-7 loss to Williamston all but devastated their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs for a school-record fourth straight year. Did it suck the life out of this team or will the seniors be motivated enough to fight for an above .500 record? The Gladiators haven’t had a losing season since 2004 (3-6). Fowlerville 12, Corunna 10. Hartland (6-2) at Livonia Franklin (5-3) 7 p.m. - The Patriots are fighting for a playoff spot. They’ve already showed they can hang tough with playoff-bound teams, losing to Livonia Stevenson and Plymouth by a combined four points. Franklin 24, Hartland 14. ■ Last week's record: 4-3. ■ Best pick: Whitmore Lake 24, Clinton 20. Score: Whitmore Lake, 19-6. ■ Worst pick: Walled Lake Central 14, Pinckney 8.

R o w e r s a r e n o w r i v a l s o n c e a g a i n HartlaruJ, Howell gra(Js at U-M, MSU BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Considering their resumes, it’s no surprise that Hartland High School graduate Casey Timmons and Howell graduate 'ti'ictoria Woodard are successful college athletes. The surprise lies in the sport they’re thriving in - rowing. Timmons earned All-State honors as a shortstop in softball and played basketball for the Eagles, graduating in 2005. Woodard helped the Highlander basketball team win two district titles and ran track as well. Once rivals, always rivals ... Timmons attends the University of Michigan and Woodard attends Michigan State University. They’re both in training for the Big 'Ten and regional championships next May.

The Fowlerville Gladiators are aiming to win their first league volleyball title since 1998. Five senior starters include: (back row, from left) Laura Bain, Sam VanGilderand Lexie Bigos; (front row, from left) Alex Stawara and Nika Kusmierz. JESSICA MCINTYRE, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Gladiators have title shot Fowlerville volleyball team winning with talent, heart BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Fowlerville volleyball coach Michelle Hardenbrook has been oh, so close to a league title before. Hardenbrook, in her seventh year as the head coach, has watched her team finish as runner-up in the gold division of the Capital Area Activities Association for five straight seasons. The Gladiators haven’t won a league or district title since 1998. “I ’m hoping to get over the hump that we have never been able to get over,” she said. This could be the year the Gladiators dump history and rewrite it. They’re led by six seniors who have gelled better than any other Hardenbrook- coached team, even the group that set a school record two years ago with a 52-7-1 record. The Gladiators (30-10-1) have shown four critical traits - heart, leadership, balance and versatility - in jumping to a 4-0 start in the CAAC gold (Wednesday’s game at Ionia was unavailable at press time). The Gladiators host their own eightteam invitational Saturday, a key tuneup for the league tournament Nov. 1. “It’s very important,” to win league, junior setter Lindsey Limonoff said. “I know we can do it. We haven’t won one in a long time. I know our coach would be ecstatic.” A deeper look at the Gladiators reveals why this season could turn out to be a special one. ■ Leadership: With five senior starters, the Gladiators are experienced. Middle hitters Sam VanGilder and Lexie Bigos, libero Alex Stawara, and outside hitters Nika Kusmierz and Laura Bain all start. Backup setter Kate Greene is also a valuable contributor. “We have a lot of leaders on this team,” said Stawara, who has improved so much from last year that she’s on track to break the school’s season and overall digs records. Limonoff said a team talk during a tournament at Williamston helped turn around a slow start. “It kicked our butt a little bit to show what we need to do and need to work on. We have come together since then,” Limonoff said. ■ Balance: Hardenbrook likes the balance in her lineup. She has all-league-caliber talent at middle blocker (VanGilder), setter (Limonoff) and libero (Stawara). “We don’t have one star,” she said. “We have six to seven players who are all the same (talent-wise). They give all they need to. It’s not like having one star. I have five really good hitters. That’s nice if a team tries to stop one. I can move to another hitter.” ■ Versatility: For the first time, Hardenbrook has moved away from a traditional 5-1 look, where one setter feeds the hitters, to experiment SEE VOLLEYBALL, 82 Lindsey Limonoff, left, prepares to set a ball while teammate Alex Stawara practices her defensive techniques during a practice for the Fowlerville High School varsity volleyball tea. Grand Blanc coaches 'fired up' to join to KLAA's west division F l i n t - a r e a s c h o o l t o t a k e P a r k e r ' s s p o t a f t e r H o w e l l s c h o o l d o e s n o t o p e n BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News The competitive dynamics of the west division of the Kensington Lakes Activities Association will shift dramatically with the addition of Grand Blanc next fall. Brighton Area Schools Athletic Director John Thompson said the KLAA interviewed Belleville and Dearborn for the vacancy left when Howell’s Parker H i^ School didn’t open as planned this fall, but said Grand Blanc was “very wellrounded and complements the current membership well.” Grand Blanc’s size (roughly 2,500 students) and proximity, a 30- to 40-minute drive up US-23 for most west division schools except Pinckney (51 miles away), made it an easy choice for the 23-team KLAA, he said. “They are going to make it (the west division) that much stronger and continue to raise the bar,” Thompson said. Grand Blanc, a member of the declining five-school Big Nine conference of the Flint area, mirrors Brighton with its impressive list of programs across the board. The Bobcats even offer skiing and club programs in gymnastics and lacrosse, three minor sports that are mainstays in the west division but rarely offered at other schools. Grand Blanc athletic director Andy Piazza said some coaches are “fired up” to join the new league. “We look at it as very positive for both them and ourselves. I hope that we can compete in every sport at every level,” he said. Here’s a look at how the Bobcats might impact four local west division teams - Hartland, Brighton, Howell and Pinckney - next fall: Dominant programs Grand Blanc instantly supplants the Bulldogs as the division’s best in golf and tennis for both genders. The girls golf team has won the state title four of the past six years, finishing sixth this fall. The boys were state champs last spring and in 2004.

Woodard and Timmons have emerged from freshmen classes of up to 100 walk-ons trying out for the novice team, where they learned the sport on the fly, to valuable contributors on the varsity squad. Timmons admits she never even dreamed of earning a Division I varsity letter until making the varsity team midway through her freshman year. “This year. I ’ll compete for my fourth varsity letter. That’s amazing,” said Timmons, a senior. “Sticking with it and going to every practice, it has been a huge accomplishment.” Timmons a Wolverine When Timmons called her dad, Thom Timmons, to tell him she was on the U-M crew team, her father thought little of it. “She told me she and her sister, Meghan, were on an innertube water polo team. I thought it was the same level as rowing. I thought it was a recreation^ sport,” he said. Timmons has bounced back and forth from the varsity four and the second varsity eight boats during her career. U-M coach Mark Rothstein called Timmons “a leader” but said it’s too early to tell where she will fit in this season. A short fall season with a handful of events is used for training for the all-important spring season. “She’s strong, and that’s important,” Rothstein said. “We are working on correcting some of the technical issues (with her stroke), but she will make some big strides on that. She is not the tallest rower on the team, but she makes it up with toughness, strength and work ethic. She fits in great. She’s an important part of our team.” The Wolverines desperately want to qualify for NCAAs as a team after a near-miss a year ago. At NCAA regionals, two eight-rower boats and one four-rower boat count for scoring. “They are very different,” Timmons said of rowing in the two types of boats. “In a four (boat), there is nowhere to hide. You are out in the open. If someone messes up, everyone can see it. In the eight, you are racing faster. It is a harder way to row.” Thom Timmons said training with Olympians and worldclass athletes has had a profound effect on his daughter, who will graduate with a degree in chemical engineering in the spring. “She loves rubbing shoulders with those people,” he said. “She quotes ^em often.” Woodard a Spartan Woodard was perfectly happy to just pursue academics in college. But stopping by the crew booth at orientation changed her direction. Woodard said God led her to rowing. “I do feel I was led into this for a purpose,” she said. The junior played a major role in a record-breaking season for the Spartans a year ago. The Central Regional and Big Ten champs finished in sixth place at NCAAs, tying a school record. Woodard helped the varsity four boat take fifth place at NCAAs, tying its bestever finish at the regatta as well. ^ MSU coach Matt Weise called Woodard “a great athlete” who has potential to be in MSU’s top boat next spring. “She is doing an exceptional job,” he wrote in an e-m^. Like Timmons, she is work- _ ing hard on her speed and tech- 1 nique. “I definitely feel better than last year. There are a lot of things I can do, and we can do, to produce more speed,” she said. KLAA FROM 81 G r a n d B l a n c c o n t e n d e r s i n m a n y s p o r t s The boys tennis program hasn’t finished lower than 16th place at states since 2000 and tied for seventh place this fall, led by No. 1 singles state champion Aaron Pfister. The girls program qualified just their No. 1 player to the state meet last spring but was 18th as a team in 2006. Grand Blanc’s bowling teams regularly compete at the state finals as well. The boys were fourth in 2007 and ninth in 2006. The girls were 16th in the state last year after a sixth place in 2007 and a second in 2006. The Bobcats should keep pace on the track and the cross country trails. Girls cross country runners were 11th at the state meet last year, 18th in 2006 and 21st in 2004, the last time the boys qualified for states (finishing 24th). In track, the girls were 30th at the state meet in 2008, 33rd in 2007 and eighth in 2005. The boys tied for eighth in the state in 2006 and 11th in 2005. Both basketball programs could contend for division titles. The girls (33-14 the past two years) and boys (32-15 the past two years) are proven winners. The Bobcat boys, winners of three district titles VOLLEYBALL FROM B1 G r o u p b e t t e r a t r a l l y i n g t h i s y e a r with a 6-2 formation, which features two setters and six attackers. In this lineup, Limonoff, the regular setter who started the past two seasons at right-side hitter, becomes another hitting option at the net. Greene fills in to set during this formation. “I like to have both options, so other teams don’t expect the same thing,” Hardenbrook said. “It (the 6-1 attack) gives me three hitters and three strong blockers. It just depends who we are playing (which formation I use).” ■ Heart: For several years, Hardenbrook has lamented an inability to finish tight matches. This group seems to have figured it out. Down 19-24 to Cadillac in the finals of a tournament at St. Johns earlier this month, the Gladiators rallied to win the game, 28-26, to eventually deliver a tournament championship. “These girls have a good desire to win. They have a lot of heart,” Hardenbrook said. “They play every point hard.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com R U N N IN G C A L E N D A R ■ Nov. 5, Team in T raining meeting, Holiday Inn Express, 8079 Chains Dr., Brighton.Time; 6:30 p.m. Details; Runners fundraise to earn their way to half-marathons and marathons around the country.

The school’s basketball facility will host the boys and girls state quarterfinals this season. Despite being a club sport, the girls are a threat in lacrosse. They advanced to the state semifeals in 2007 and 2006 and were regional finalists in 2008 and 2005. Both soccer programs are formidable. The boys soccer team (17-2-2 this fail) captured its fifth district title in seven years Oct. 17. The girls program (28-12-6 the past two years) has advanced to the regionals finals every year since 2000, losing in the state semifinals to Brighton in 2005 and the state finals to Northville in 2004. The girls, who were recently beaten by Brighton, haven’t fared as well at states since placing 17th in 2004. On the diamond, the baseball team (28-10 last year) was district and Big Nine champs in 2008. In softball, the Bobcats (39-30 the past two years combined) lost in the regional semifinals last spring and the state semifinals in 2006. The hockey team (30-18-4 the past two years combined) lost in the regional finals last spring. The volleyball program (64- 26-5 the past two years combined) last captured district championships in 2000 and 2006. Solid programs In football, the Bobcats (5- 3 this season) have made the playoffs five times since 1999, a streak only Brighton (seven appearances) and Howell (five counting this year) can match. The two swim teams can make waves at times. The boys were 18th at the 2008 state meet and 20th in 2007 after several top seven finishes back in 2003 and 2001. Other programs Only two Bobcat programs sport losing records over the past two years. Interestingly, they are two of the west’s strongest sports: Wrestling and boys cross country. The Bobcat wrestlers (a combined 22-25 record) and runners foi l in 2006 and 2007) must improve to compete. Competitive cheer and club programs for boys lacrosse and girls gymnastics don’t have the resumes that other Bobcat programs have. Brighton golfers finish 14th at state tournament From News staff reports Missing one of their better players, who stayed home for academic reasons, ^ the Brighton girls golf team finished 14th out of 15 teams at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division I state tournament Oct. 17-18 at Forest Akers East golf course in East Lansing. Brighton sophomore Em- 1 mie Pietiia, who shot a 1-under- par 71 in the first round, fired an 82 on Oct. 18 to finish in a tie for eighth place, good enough for all-state honors. Brighton shot 739 as a team. “It feels good. It could have been better, but it feels good,” Pietiia said. “I didn’t putt as well as I did (Friday).” Brighton coach Bill Miller has high hopes for next season with most of his roster back. “We’ll come back a year older, a year bigger and a year smarter and we’ll be a much better team | next year,” he said. “I don’t think we’ll ever be as good as Rochester, but we’ll be a whole lot better.” R E C R E A T IO N C A L E N D A R EVENTS ■ JumpStartI will run 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 25 at Hartland High School, 10635 Dunham Road.The clinics for adults and children cost $35-$40.

Call your provider to check into limits o n text messaging, instant messaging, picture taking, Internet access and video. ■ Contact schools or law enforcement agencies regarding the availability of local classes o r p ro grams that teach parents about te ch n o lo g y u se and h ow to find potentially inappropriate material o n a cell p h o n e o r Internet social networking. t h e p h o n e s a w a y i f t h e y ’r e n o t b e in g u s e d p r o p e r ly .

Follow the guidelines in your community for curb-side pick-up. If you're asked to put leaves in the street, wait until just before collection day. Never rake them into or near storm drains, ditches, creeks or the river. Decaying leaves use up the water's oxygen, harming aquatic inhabitants. L e a v e i t ! Mulch leaves by running over them with your lawn mower at next cutting. Leaves and grass clippings are the best fertilizer for your lawn. O r . . . r a k e i t a n d l e a v e i t !

Troy, 42, a South Lyon resident, will join his father in the Budweiser Michigan Majors Bowling Association Hall of Fame during a Nov. 15 ceremony, the first father-andson combo to be so honored. “They’d have to be right up there among the top fatherson combos” in Michigan’s bowling scene, said Ken Charrette, the executive director of the M M B A . Both Troy and Gene Stus are retired. Troy Stus left the M M B A in 1997 with four titles - the 1989 Rose Bowl Open, the 1990 Monitor Open and the 1990 and 1994 Tournament of Champions (an M M B A major). Troy Stus says he gave up competitive bowling to start up a graphics design business with his wife, Caty. During his career, B he had two eight-week stints on the Denny’s P B A Tour and added one P B A regional title. “Sometimes I look back on it, it is kind of strange,” he said. “I would have never en- _ visioned myself not bowling.” P He grew up hanging around the lanes with his father. Gene Stus, who lives in Taylor, bowled in 18 P B A Tour events but made his career on the P B A Senior Tour with 11 titles and $541,480 in career earnings. Troy Stus sometimes bowls with friends and his daughter these days and wouldn’t rule out a return to competitive bowling. “I t ’s possible that I could do it again,” he said. “I still enjoy bowling when I go out and do it.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ 9 livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

All three will host first-round playoff games tonight. Whether they enjoy some treats on Halloween - or tricks - depends upon how they play. All three are favored in their matchups, but that’s no guarantee in the postseason. Should both the H i^ a n d e r s and Eagles win, they’ll clash for a Division I, District 2 title next weekend at Howell. Here’s a look Milford (5-4) at Howell (8-1), 7 p.m. - The two Kensington Lakes Activities Association west division rivals know each other well. The Highlanders beat the Mavericks, 13-10, in overtime in week three. Howell coach Aaron Metz isn’t sure what impact that win, good or bad, would have on the rematdi. “When you play twice, it’s tough (to win both times),” he said. “Obviously, in our game, it could have gone any way. In overtime, it’s a one-play game.” He expects to see adjustments from the Mavericks, who were burned by two touchdown passes fix)m Justin Svatora to Robin Wiljes in the loss. M ilford is hurting right now, having lost three straight games to playoff teams. “Through the course of the season everybody evolves,” Metz said. “ ... (But) I don’t expect a totally different defense or offense. You are who you are.” Howell’s maturation process has pleased Metz considering he was hired just days before fall practice. “We have come together,” he said. “We have a great group within the senior class. They are great leaders for us. That has been our biggest evolution. We’ve grown together as a tight-knit group.” Howell 20, Milford 17. Grand Blanc (6-3) at Hartland (7-2), 7:30 p.m. -T h is is the most intriguing of the first-round matchups. Grand Blanc be a regular on Hartland’s schedule beginning next season after the Bobcats were accepted into the KLAA’s west division two weeks ago. “Both of us can say we get a jump on next year,” Hartland coach Marcus Dukes said.

They are coming off an impressive 31-6 road whipping of playoff-bound Livonia Franklin, proving they’ve regrouped following back-to-back losses to Milford and Howell in early October. “We are going in on the right foot,” Dukes said. Grand Blanc brings a high-flying offense with sophomore quarterback Ryan Morley and junior wide receiver Tyler Jones. Morley, who has 2,194 yards passing and 26 touchdowns, set a Flint-area record earlier this season by throwing for 439 yards against White Lake Lakeland in a 42-34 loss. Jones (960 yards receiving) caught 16 passes for 276 yards in a wild 57-50 win at Flushing. “The question is, ‘Can we slow down their offense?”’ Dukes said The Eagles have held eight of their nine opponents to 17 points or less.

The Michigan H igh School Athletic Association cross country state finals will be held Saturday at the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn. The Brighton girls team has a shot at coach Ga iy Meehan’s first state championship since 1983. The Bulldogs won their regional at Huron Meadows Oct. 24, placing six girls in the top 17, even without top-five runner Amanda Halonen. Only the five best scores are coimted at the state finals. “(Regionals) was a confidence builder,” Meehan said. “We are working toward it (being contenders), talking about positive thoughts and positive attitudes.” Meehan said the six title contenders have no margin for error. “Whoever has the best day will win it. Whoever has the worst day, they’ll be sixth,” he said. For the second straight year. Pinckney coach Tom Carney will be busy preparing both his boys and girls teams to race.

CROSS C O U N TR Y FROM B1 P i n c k n e y t e a m s c o m p e t e behind the Bulldogs, could actually finish higher than the boys, depending on who runs Saturday. Carney said the goal for both teams is to have all seven runners complete the race before any other school’s top seven. “We just want to be the best overall team,” he said. “Our goal is to be a complete program. We’ve done well with that. We were second and second (at regionals). They are both rooting for each other.” At the end of the day, it might be the Whitmore Lake boys team that ends up shining brightest among the local contingent. The 'Trojans are gunning for a school-record second-place finish, coach Andy Ames said, knowing that Hillsdale remains an overwhelming favorite in D ivision 3. Whitmore Lakels top three, Zach Carpenter (second). Drew Ward (sixth) and Matt Regal (eighth), all finished among the top 10 at regionals at Lake Erie Metropark Oct. 25. The wild card is John Munro’s health. Struggling with an oblique strain, he finished as the team’s seventh runner DEEGAN FROM B1 W h i t m o r e g e t s k u d o s f o r d e f e n s e Blanc 38, Hartland 30. Madison Heights Bishop Foley Catholic (5-4) at Whitmore Lake (8-1) 7:30 p.m. -Whitmore Lake coach John Priestap has been chiding his players not to look too far ahead in the Division 6 playoffe. The team’s mantra all season has been “one”: A focus on one practice, one play, one series, one quarter, one half, one game at a time. “The team has gotten better each week,” Priestap said. “We have added something each week and have been able to absorb it. I ’m very pleased.” The Whitmore Lake defense has been unsung, allowing just 68 points this fall (an average of just 7.6 points per game). The TYojans have pitched four shutouts, including last week’s 14-0 win at Ottawa Lake Whiteford. The Thojans did suffer a blow in that game, losing two-way senior starter John Los to a leg fracture. Los, who combined for 1,000 rushing and receiving yards, will be replaced by Chase St. Charles on defense and either Jacob Belcher or Alex Cattley at receiver. The setback shouldn’t matter this week, but it might hurt more down the road, ’i^ tm o re Lake 20, Madison Heights Bishop Foley Catholic 10. ■ Last week's record: 4-2. ■ Best pick: Howell 28, Jackson 7.

Ames said it’s up to Colton Judge, Patrik Mainez and Ronnie Milbocker to step up if Munro isn’t up to speed. “With John’s injury, it is possible that those guys need to have a heroic performance for us to finish the way we want to,” Ames said. “They have been 30 seconds behind John all season.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

The first-term senator did not win the county overall, tallying 42 percent of the 99,890 votes cast to 56 percent for Republican John McCain. But that was up from the 36 percent of the vote that John Kerry tallied in 2004. Livingston County has long been a Republican stronghold, but according to Livingston County’s Democratic Party Chairwoman Judy Daubenmeier, Obama “made history” in Livingston County by appealing to more of the coimty’s residents than any Democratic can^date in recent history. “That says, ‘We’re ready for a change.’ I think residents looked at their economic situation and at their future and thought that the Democratic Party was in the best position to help them out,” said Daubenmeier. First-time voter Lauren Bues, 18, was swayed by Obama’s promise for prosperity. The Brighton 'Township resident supported Obama because “his whole campaign is about change, and I think we need to see something different going on.” Livingston County Republican Party Chairman Allan Filip said his party “was SEE ELECTION, A2 H a m b u r g ' s S k i b a b e s t s w r i t e - i n , D e m c h a l l e n g e s BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Giant red pencils, a barrage of literature and door-to-door campaigning helped Joanna Hardesty get about 2,200 writein votes in Tuesday’s general election, but it wasn’t enough to earn her a third term as Hamburg Township clerk. Republican Matt Skiba, who first beat Hardesty in the August primary, defeated her again Tuesday and also beat Democratic challenger Debby Buckland to earn his first four-year term as Hamburg’s clerk. “Though my heart is sad. I ’m very proud of the hard-working team that we put together for this campaign,” Hardesty SEE HAMBURG,A2 Latson interchange slated for 2010 L o n g - a w a i t e d p r o j e c t h a s a s s u r e d f u n d i n g , s a y s M O O T o f f i c i a l BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News The long-sought 1-96 interchange at Latson Road in Genoa Township is on track to be built in 2010, according to state Department of'Transportation officials. Total cost: $35 million. The project comes at a time when many state highway projects will be placed on hold indefinitely, because of uncertain funding. “That project is one we are committed to,” said Steve Bower, manager at M D O T ’s Brighton 'Transportation Service Center. “We have six projects being delayed (due to lack of funding), but Latson Road isn’t affected,” Bower told those gathered last week at a road project “summit.” He attributed it to a serious drop in revenue for M D O T and county road commissions from the state gasoline and weight taxes and registration fees, on which the bulk of road revenues are based. “The money is running out quick, and it’s a message the politicians aren’t necessarily communicating,” Bower said. However, Bower said the federal government already has committed $18.5 million for the Latson Road interchange, assuring its construction. “We’ll be able to use our state match, so that project is moving forward,” he said. Bower said another reason the project is a go is participation by private enterprise, which has been purchasing property for necessary rightof- way and freeway ramps and their approaches. As part of the project, Latson Road north of 1-96 will be connected to Nixon Road to the south via a freeway bridge, and Nixon, a gravel road, will be reconstructed and paved to Chilson Road. Latson Road will be reconstructed from the freeway to Grand River Avenue, with a new intersection, with additional turn lanes, at Latson Road and Grand River. Grand Oaks Drive and Beck Road will be relocated to facilitate the interchange. According to Managing Director Mike Craine, the Livingston County Road Commission has been meeting with major landowners in the areas where property needs to be procured for the project. SEE LATSON, A2 Construction is scheduled The area to the immediate east of Howell is n ow served by a partial 1-96 interchange at Lake C h em u n g (exit 141).The new Latson Road interchange,just west o f there, is scheduled for construction in 2010. New hospital plans paused B u t p r o c e s s w i l l m o v e f o r w a r d f o r s i t e i n M a r i o n T o w n s h i p , M e r c y o f f i c i a l s a y s From News staff reports 'Trinity Health, the parent company of Saint Joseph Mercy Health System, is hitting the pause button on plans to build a new Livingston County hospital because of the sluggish economy. Saint Joseph Mercy spokeswoman Lauren Stokes said the planning process for the new hospital, planned for a site in Marion Township south of Howell, would remain on course. What is being paused, she said, is the capital spending. She said the health care company has begun a capital spending review process, which means that over the next two to three months, the company will review all its major projects. “Health care is not immune to the economic downturn, and we need to be good stewards of our resources,” Stokes said. “We need to appropriately assess in these tough financial times all of our spending.” Stokes said the health system still is committed to the previously announced projects - a new hospital to replace St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Howell and expansion of the hospital in Saline - and that the stall is temporary. “We’re excited about m oving forward with plans for a Livingston County hospital,” Stokes said. But she said 'Trinity Health also wanted to be able to “sustain responsible growth.” She said the due-diligence work being done on the proposed site would remain on schedule. Plans call for construction of a new facility on the 230-acre site of the former Marion Oaks Golf Course along County Road D-19. The move does not affect construction of a new North Tower at the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital near Ann Arbor, Stokes said.

Alicia Chouinard, 39, votes in every election. The Hartland Township voter went to the polls Nov. 4, fresh from a doctor’s appointment where she learned she has bronchitis, so she could vote for McCain. “I like his morals,” said Chouinard. “I always feel the Democrats don’t represent my family’s values.” On the statewide ballot proposals, Livingston County residents voted with the statewide majority to approve both measures. On the proposal to legalize the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, the county voted 60,525-36,293 to approve the measure. On the issue of stem cell research, the county voted in favor of relaxing restrictions on the cutting-edge research, 51,462-45,449. Despite predictions of a record turnout, 75.8 percent of voters went to the polls, almost exactly the same percentage as 2004. While lines were long early 'Ifresday mornings there was no waiting in most polling places after dinner. “It’s kind of depressing,” said Marion Township Clerk 'Tammy Beal. What “started as a bang,” she said, quickly fizzled. “I don’t know what happened,” she said. Last week, she had predicted a turnout as high as 90 percent. At the Oceol'a 'Township Hall, Precinct 1 and 2 drivers were backed up onto Latson Road and M-59 during the early morning and afternoon hours, causing some voters to continue driving. “I came by at 6:45 a.m., and the parking lot was full, everything was full,” said Larry McVay, 51. He decided to go to work and return to the polls around 6:30 p.m. and waited 30 minutes. Keith 'Tuller, 35, also subscribes to McCain’s values, “and I want to see the war effort through.” He doesn’t believe pulling American troops from Iraq according to a set timetable is in the country’s best interests, and he fears Obama would set back any progress made in the region. Brighton 'Township Hall experienced long lines 'Iliesday morning, at one point causing people to wait outside the builffing. By the time Val Head, 47, cast her ballot at 7:30 p.m., she was one of three people voting in Precinct 1. She was surprised by the lack of people at the poll saying, “this is re ^ y a crucial time in our history to vote.” Livingston County Election Supervisor Joan Runyan said there were no big glitches in Tuesday’s voting or the counting process. She also expected to see a bigger turnout of voters. Laurie Humphrey can be reached atlh umphrey@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or 810-844-2003. LATSON FROM A1 L a n d a c q u i s i t i o n n e a r l y c o m p l e t e “We’ve reached agreement in principle (on donating the pat-cels), and I expect it will be all wrapped up in a few months,” Craine said. A big player in the discussions is developer R G Properties of Dayton, Ohio, which owns the Livingston Commons shopping center that houses Wal-mart and Lowe’s big box stores. Craine said the donation ol land would be advantageous, to the developer because with the new interchange will come additional traffic. RG Properties is expected to ask Genoa Township for a change in its special use permit to allow the commercial uses that tend to dot a freeway interchange. Although the schedule calls for completion of the interchange in late 2010, Craine thinks it’ll more likely be 2011 before it is open to traffic. He said the nearby, existing partial freeway interchange east of the project at Lake Chemung (exit 141) would remain open.

That’s unheard of for a candidate whose name is not on the ballot.” Skiba tallied 4,766 votes en route to defeating Hardesty and Buckland, who earned 4,444 votes. “This feels very good,” Skiba said. “I ’m very excited to work with all the other elected township officials. I want to thank my wife, children, family and friends for all of their help, support and prayers, and I want to thank everyone that supported me with their vote, both in the primary and this general election.” Hamburg’s Republican stronghold was just too hard to overcome, Buckland said. “I ’m proud of what I did,” Buckland said. “I ran on my merits and it was a good race. It just didn’t work out. The more we have Democrats running good races in Livingston County, the better we will do. It just takes time.” All of the Republican nominees selected by Hamburg voters in the August primary prevailed in the general election, including Pat Hohl, who ran uncontested for supervisor after defeating incumbent Supervisor Cindy Pine in August. Pat Evon, who defeated incumbent Treasurer Roberta Balon-Vaughn in the primary, held on to defeat Democratic challenger Linda Taylor by 1,073 votes. “I believe we have a group that will work as a team and move Hamburg ahead,” Evon said. Incumbent Chuck Menzies and newcomers Mike Dolan, Bill Hahn and Phil Semprevivo were voted into Hamburg’s four trustee seats with 6,265, 6,438, 6,455 and 6,234 votes, respectively.

She defeated Democrat Scott Lucas by a vote of 27,851-17,049. In the 66th District, Rogers won the state House seat by defeating Democrat Donna Anderson by a vote of 27,287- 16,147. Rogers, who is the brother of U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers R-Howell, will replace Chris Ward in Lansing. Both Hune and Ward were prevented for seeking re-election by term limits. “This was an intense campaign and a long, arduous road,” Bill Rogers said. As far as his priorities go, Rogers said, “It’s the economy, the economy, the economy. We have to get jobs and employers willing to come to this state, and we have to create the environment. We have a lot of regulations that need to be removed. We need serious reform to our tax structure in order to get people to come back.” Rogers is in his 10th year on the Livingston County Board of Commissioners, and his third as chairman of the board.

Voters return Rogers to U.S. Congress for 5 th term BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, RHowell, has been returned to Congress for a fifth, two-year term. By the time all the votes had been tallied early Wednesday, Rogers had 202,094 votes to Democrat Bob Alexander’s 142,034 votes. Rogers, 45, garnered 63,933 votes in Livingston County, his home base, more than doubling Alexander’s 29,185. He also won easily in Oakland and Clinton counties, with Alexander winning Ingham. “This is clearly a Democratic year ...

He last opposed Rogers in 2004, when he received 37 percent of the vote to Rogers’ 61 percent. Alexander said that, among other goals, he wanted to “enhance Medicare and extend its services to all Americans for the same $2.4 trillion that we now spend for all our U.S. health care.” Rogers said the voters’ support ^ enable him to continue working with a Congress firmly • in the control of Democrats. “I will continue to work on the common-sense bipartisan solutions ... and create Michigan jobs,” he said. “More and cleaner American energy will give us better and stronger economic security, national security, and environmental security.” Rau re-elected to supervisor post in Putnam Twp. BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Fhmiliar faces will fill most of the seats on the next Putnam Township Board of Trustees. Incumbent Ron Rau defeated challengers Mike Porath and Richard Bennett on Thesday to earn his first full term as supervisor. Incumbent Clerk Sally Guyon ran uncontested, as ^ d Pat Carney, the township’s former zoning administrator, who won the Republican nomination for treasurer in the August primary. Thustees Kevin Dobis and Norm Klein also will be back for four more years and will be joined by Dick McCloskey, who stepped down after 16 years as treasurer to run successfully for a trustee seat. Only Keith Chambers, who earned the most votes of any candidate in the general election, is entirely new. The 41- year-old farmer and Pinckney Community High School head custodian, said he’s ready for the job. “I can’t wait to get involved,” said Chambers, who received 2,191 votes. “It’s very exciting and very humbling that so many people voted for me.” Rau, 47, a Republican, had 1,871 votes to Democrat Porath’s 1,592 and Independent Bennett’s 759. He was elected two years ago to finish the unfulfilled term of the late Bob Hollister, who died in office in 2005. “I want to keep moving the township in a positive direction,” Rau said. “I appreciate my family and my friends and all the people who voted for me. I ’m very happy to be serving again.” Porath, 57, a member of the township’s planning commission, did not return calls seeking comment, but Bennett, 68, who was township supervisor from 2000-04, said his running with no party affiliation may have been his downfall. “The straight parly votes hurt me. I ’m sure,” he said. “Republicans are very strong in Livingston County and that makes a difference. Not enough people jumped over to vote for me.” Democrat Dobis, 34, and Republican Klein, 49, earned 2,159 and 1,966 votes respectively to win their second four-year terms. Voters also approved the renewal of a six-year, 1.19-mill general operating n ^ a g e for the Putnam Tbwnship Fire Department with a vote of 2,241- 1,904. The millage will last through 2014 and will cost the owner of a $200,000 home $119 the fiurst year. “We really want to thank the voters,” said Fire Chief Greg Amburgey. “This will help us keep going the next six years and allow us to give our residents the best service we can. We thank the voters for understanding our need.” Oakland County. The 47th state House seat covers the city of Howell and the townships of Cohoctah, Conway, Deerfield, Hamburg, Handy, Hartland, Howell, Iosco, Putnam, Tyrone and Unadilla. Denby also said turning the state’s economy around is the most important issue. “My No. 1 priority is to make some positive impact with the status of our economy in the state and to promote business and job opportunities in our state,*’ Denby said. “That will help with funding for the programs this state needs.” Denby, who has been on a leave of absence from her position working for Hune, said she will go back to work and work on a transition plan.

A bond proposal that would have provided the district with money for buses and computers was defeated 12,712-8,629. A sinking fund proposal that would have provided the district with money for building improvements was defeated by a similar margin, 13,004-8,220. Bill Anderson, president of the school board, said it was a tough year to be asking people for money. “Even though these taxes wouldn’t have been higher than people were paying in 2007, there are people out there struggling to pay their existing taxes,” said Anderson. Val Head, 47, a Brighton Township voter, did not support either proposal. “I ’ve lived here for 20 years and always voted to pass school millages, but I am very frustrated with how chaotic the school district is,” she said. “B y not supporting this, maybe some things can change.” The bond proposal would have been at or below a tax levy of 0.48 mill, which would have cost the owner of a $200,000 home $96 a year. The sinking fund would have authorized the school district to levy 0.52 mills for 10 years, which would cost the owner of a $200,000 home $104 per year. The district is struggling with a $2.5 million deficit, and school officials said that approving the proposals would have taken pressure off the district’s operating budget. “We’ll continue to cannibalize our computers and do the best we can with outdated technology,” said Anderson. “As far as the buses go, our bus maintenance costs will continue to rise. A s far as the sinking fund proposal being defeated, we’ll put Band-Aids on roofs and hope that the outdated boilers in a couple buildings make it through the winter. “I don’t think we were asking for something we didn’t need. The voters have spoken, and we have a lot of work to do to get our house in order.” Brighton Township voter Lauren Bues, 18, said, “As someone who graduated from Brighton High School last year, I didn’t vote for the busing proposal because that is the last thing they should be worried about.” Laurie Humphrey contributed to this report.

Brennan retains seat on 5 3 rd District Court bench From News s taff reports Livingston County District Judge Theresa Brennan easily won election to a six-year term on the bench, defeating Howell attorney Jay Drick by a 2-1 margin. Unofficial results in all 98 county precincts show Brennan had 50,855 votes to Drick’s 24,553 votes. Brennan, 51, has been a district judge for the last three years, having been appointed in 2005 by Gov. Jennifer Granholm to replace Judge Michael Hegarty, and then elected the following year to finish out his term. Brennan works primarily out of the Brighton District Court, but also handles cases in 53rd District Court in Howell. Drick, in a third bid for a Livingston County judicial seat. District Judge Theresa Brennan will keep her seat on the 53rd District Court. also lost to Brennan in 2006. Drick based his campaign on the absence of a teen alcohol rescue court, saying its establishment would be his top priority. Brennan said she and her colleagues already have addressed the problem of illicit alcohol use by minors. “We are intensely involved with teens’ substance abuse; we just don’t call it teen alcohol court,” she said. 3 new faces are elected to the Howell school board BY TOM TOLEN P The Livingston Community News With 5,050 votes, Oceola 'Township resident Ann Routt topped a wide-open field of eight candidates to be elected to one of two, four-year terms - on the Howell Board of Educa- I tion. ' It was the first time Howell had its election in November. In a surprise, all three school board members up for election - all who had been appointed to fill vacancies - were defeated: Treasurer Dan Fondriest, Secretary Michael Yenshaw and Trustee Mark Michaels. Besides Routt, Howell attorney Robert E. Parker, who garnered 4,877 votes in unofficial returns, edged out Pat Howie by just 24 votes to also win a four-year term. Howie said early Wednesday she is considering filing for a recount. “I ’m very much heartened (by the closeness), and I may file for a recount,” she said. “Regardless, I will still be at all the meetings.” Parker had run twice previously for Livingston County judgeships and lost. He could not be reached for comment. Routt, 50, is an attorney and deputy director of Legal Services of Southeast Michigan. Routt said she was “very excited” at gaining a seat on the board. Her election “shows the community is ready to get the schools back on track and moving forward,” Routt said. Routt said her top priorities will be “to dig into the finances, and take a long look at Parker, and get the (students’) test scores up: There’s quite a laundry list.” In the race for a two-year seat on the Howell school board, Debi Drick, 47, bested Fondriest by more than 1,200 votes. “I want to look at the budget and do some long-term planning, and to have a backup plan, a contingency plan,” Drick said, in citing her top priority. She also cited the need to develop short-term and longterm plans for Parker High Robert Parker, left, and Ann Routt earned 4-year terms on the Howell school board and Debi Drick, right, a 2-year term. School, now largely closed due to insufficient operating funds. Drick, 47, former executive director of Ingham East Habitat for Humanity, is married to Howell attorney Jay Drick Fondriest was appointed last December to fill a position vacated by Dean Miller, who had replaced Jean Clum.

A week ago, Jeff Hendee, Mike Hendee and Louann Hendee Demorest filed a $7 million lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Detroit claiming that the township denied them the right to develop their property at Swarthout Road and County Road D-19 and is standing in the way of a new opportunity for them to sell it. This follows the township’s decision to take its fight to prevent a proposed 498-unit manufactured housing development to the Michigan Supreme Court after losses in Livingston County Circuit Court and at the state Court of T^peals. The state’s highest court could take up to a year to decide if it will hear the township’s appeal, said Hendee attorney Roger Myers of Brighton. If it agrees, that could add another one to two years to the case, which could kill an offer the family has to sell its land to someone other than Village Point Development, the developer originally interested in it, Myers said. If the township cancels its state Supreme Court appeal, the Hendees will drop this suit, Myers added. Township attorney Thomas Meagher is calling the suit a “frivolous” action in a “tough issue” with statewide impact on whether courts or local governments have control of local planning and zoning rules. The Michigan Townships z^ssociation and Michigan Municipal League have filed court briefs supporting the township, he said. The case started in 2002 with a request from the Hendees that their land be rezoned from minimum 10-acre parcels to 1- acre lots for a 95-home planned unit development. When the township denied it, they sued for the manufactured home community without submitting plans or seeking township approval for such a development. The Hendees’ new suit is based on the original suit in claiming the township has committed unlawful interference in the family’s use of its properly, Myers said. Federal law provides separate and sometimes greater protection of personal land rights that Michigan law does, he said. LCC, Howell schools relationship may end S c h o o l s c i t e c o n f l i c t s w i t h L a n s i n g c o l l e g e BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News The Howell Board of Education could end its relationship with Lansing Community College, which operates its Livingston County campus out of Parker High School. Superintendent Ted Gardella is expected to make a recommendation to the board Monday, based on a contract review by the district legal counsel. District administrators say the college will not permit its staff to be digitally fingerprinted for background checks, and Howell students are charged out-of-district tuition rates. “We may need a different partner,” Gardella told the Board of Education at a recent meeting. “Other colleges are more than happy to provide the background check.” LC C Senior Vice President Stanley Chase disagreed with GardeUa’s interpretation of the college’s position. “Our position is that it’s an area of discussion, considering it does impact conditions of employment,” Chase said. “It can’t be unilaterally decided,” he said. Chase said college officials have had such discussions with the unions, “but they can’t be done quickly, with its potential impact on 1,000 people.” Associate Superintendent for Business Rick Terres said the district might be able to end its contract, telling the board that L C C ’s failure to allow background checks might constitute an “exit clause.” This fall, 32 Howell High School students are attending LC C at Parker. However, Gardella said the students are taking evening courses, with none attending LC C during the day now that high school students have moved back to the Howell High School campus. Gardella said the lack of tuition break for Howell students and the fingerprint issue LCC is getting the better deal with $73,000 in annual rent that is below market rate. Chase said there are other opportunities for Howell students, including scholarships established for Howell High School students and donations to the LC C Foundation that could be designated for students at the Livingston campus. Chase said L C C ’s partnership with the Howell Public Schools, which started in 2007, has been successful, and he would like to see it continue. Total enrollment at Lansing Community College’s five campuses (Lansing, East Lansing, Delta Township, St. Johns and Livingston County) is 31,000, up 1 percent finm last year. Fall LC C enrollment at the Parker Campus is 730 students. Three-quarters of those are recent Howell graduates, according to information from LCC.

That’s why we are starting earlier than ever to raise money for The Arm Arbor News- Livingston Community News Warm the Children program. The goal this year is to raise enough in donations from readers to provide warm winter clothing for at 3,000 children in Livingston and Washtenaw counties. Last year the program served 2,800 youngsters. Typically, about one third of those children are in Livingston County. The program is a solid one that provides $90 to spend on clothing for each youngster in the program. Fbr a dozen years now. The News has absorbed all of the administrative work so that every dollar donated is spent on lock children. Last year, a total of $220,433 was donated, including a $10,000 donation from Meijer Inc., which also lends a hand by hosting the families and their volunteer shoppers for the $90 shopping sprees. \^ ile the program was started by The Ann Arbor News, Livingston County has always been a part of Warm the Children. Many local organizations - from service clubs to church groups - have volunteered again to take families shopping. Still others have focused on raising funds for the program. So many people have stepped forward to help that the need here in Livingston County is not for more shoppers, but for more donations to be able to reach as many families as possible. If you are able, please consider including Warm the Children on your holiday giving list this year. Tax-deductible donations can be sent to the Livingston Community News at 420 W. Main St., Brighton, M I 48116. Please make checks payable to Warm the Children. Another one bites the dust Ed Alverson’s announcement that he will retire from Fowlerville Community Schools next spring means two Livingston Coimty school districts will be looking for new leaders. Brighton is launching a search after Superintendent Jim Craig left the district a week ago. That will make a clean sweep of superintendents from all Livingston County school districts over the past five years. Each district has changed leadership for different reasons: ■ Janet Sifferman became the Hartland superintendent in 2004 when she succeeded the retiring Peter Caroselli. ■ Dan Danosl^ became the Pinckney superintendent in 2006 following Michael Couchman’s retirement. ■ Scott Menzel left the nearby Whitmore Lake school district in 2007 to take over at the Livingston Educational Service agency, Livingston’s intermediate school district. He succeeded Sally Vaughn when she left to take a position with the state Department of Education. ■ Ted Gardella took over at Howell Public Schools earlier this year after Chuck Breiner was forced out. Now, two more longtime local educators are leaving. These are tough positions to fill. Heading a school district may be a challenging and rewarding career goal for an educator, but with tenuous state funding and competing demands form parents, teachers and others it’s certainly not an easy task.

From left, Nic Raimi 14,Tristian Pape, 16, John Barbara, 16, and Danielle Glass, 11, sit and talk at the Howell Area Teen Center, which is operated through the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority. Below, Pape talks about the mural he and other teens helped to create at the center, located on North Barnard Street in the city of Howell.The mural depicts both good and bad: It's a constant reminder that good-decisions yield happiness and bad decisions carry consequences, say the teens. PHOTOS: ANGELA SPOONER, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS T h e y p u t t h e i r m a r k o n H o w e l l c e n t e r , c r e a t i n g m u r a l s , a p l a c e t o h a n g o u t BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News In a darkened room, surrounded by half a dozen friends cheering him on, Nic Raimi maneuvers the course from a front-row seat in the theater room. The hum of the Game Cube is overshadowed by excited screams from his friends and words of encouragement for moving on to the next level of play. The scene is interrupted by more friends entering the theater room and greeting each other with loud howls, high fives and a jab to the shoulder. It’s another typical day at the Howell Area Teen Center. Raimi, 14, is a student at the Howell High School Freshman Campus and one of many who come regularly to the teen center at 415 N. Barnard St. Catering to students between the ages of 11 and 17, the center is open 3-6 p.m., Monday-Friday courtesy of an $8,600 grant by the Livingston County United Way. Kids can come to hang out with friends, get a jump on homework, play ping-pong or billiards, or just to have somewhere safe to go. “My mom doesn’t want me to stay home by myself,” says 11-year-old Danielle Glass. After school, she rides a, L E T S bus from Highlander Way Middle School to the teen center, where Danielle stays until her mom can get her after work. On a recent Monday afternoon, Danielle was one of two girls in the center surrounded by about 10 boys. “M y friends do come here too,” she says. “It used to be all dudes,” interrupts Tristan Pape, 16. He is there “gaming” with his friend John Barbara, also 16. “I come because the only one that lives near me (in Oceola Township) is him (THstan,) and he games here,” says Barbara. According to Kyle Aulette, teen center director, video game stations are a favorite among the kids. The center offers play in XBOX, PS2, Dance Dance Revolution, Game Cube, Guitar Hero and Wii. “We try to keep updated on the current stuff,” he says. But the center is more than somewhere safe to hang out or game with friends, it’s also a place to think, to learn and to grow. A symbol of that process is reflected on one of the center’s 10-foot by 30-foot walls, and represents the traditional values held by center regulars. “It’s the wall of good and bad,” Raimi explains, feeling at home sitting on top of the pool table with legs crossed. The mural reflects the thoughts and feelings of the students, and pictures opposite identities. The first image depicts happy people traveling the happy road of life, while the second image shows lost people driving down the road of despair, loneliness and jail time. It’s a constant reminder that good decisions yield happiness and bad decisions carry consequences. Tristan Pape did some of the concept art for the mural and likes the final product. His brother. Chandler Pape, 17, helped with the painting. A total of 15-20 students put their creative energies into the project, which was made possible by a $500 grant from the Livingston County Community Alliance. Debbie Mikula, director of the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority, which operates the teen center, is thrilled about the way area students have responded. Participation has doubled this year, bringing up to 40 kids through the doors daily. Matching the rise in participation is a rise in community awareness and generosity. Most recently, Howell-based Citizens Insurance has committed up to $7,500 to create a 500-square-foot Cyber Cafe area at the center. “Our goal is to put together a project team including Citizens Insurance employees and the teens to create a vision for this space,” says Becky Best, the company’s community relations manager. Citizens will supply the manpower, the tools and furnishings once the room has been built. The teens are responsible for the dream. The Howell project is intended to loosely parallel a upcoming segment from the A B C show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” which will feature a family from Holt, Mich. Citizens Insurance is underwriting that Michigan project and wanted to celebrate by helping a local agency. “Given our youth and education focus, we thought this would be a logical fit for us,” says Best, “and it will provide a fun environment for (the kids.)” She expects work to begin soon with completion expected in December.

Some parents question Pinckney bus safety S c h o o l d i s t r i c t r e c e n t l y e n d e d d o o r - t o - d o o r p i c k u p BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Waiting in the dark for their buses on fall and winter m ornings is nothing new to some Pinckney Community Schools students. What is new is that some of them now must also walk in the dark to get to their bus stops. Pinclmey is the last of Livingston County’s five traditional public school districts to end door-to-door student pickup and drop-off in favor of consolidated bus stops. The cost-cutting move was approved by the Board of Education in June to shave $66,000 from a 2008-09 budget that’s still about $300,000 shy of balancing. FILE: JAMIE CHARBENEAU-PISELLA.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Pinckney Community Schools has eliminated door-to-door bus service for students as a cost-saving measure for the district. Some parents are concerned about children walking to bus stops in the dark. The change has taken some getting used to and some new bus stops have been adjusted, said Superintendent Dan Danosky. But some parents, including Hamburg Township’s Jacquie McMillan, are now concerned safety based on dark mornings and a lack of streetlights in the area. “We certainly understand that,” said Superintendent Dan Danosky. “We will listen to anyone who comes to us with their concerns. If they have suggestions that make sense and don’t conflict with what we are trying to do, we will work with them.” In an e-mail sent to school officials and H amburg Township Clerk Joanna Hardesty, M cMillan said her son, a Pinckney Community High School freshman, has to walk a half-mile from their ■ Crystal Beach subdivision home to his bus stop at Whitewood Road and C ry s tal Drive. “Walking is not the is sue,” the e-mail said. “It is the ability to see (in) pitch black.” M cM illa n ’s e-mail asked township officials about installing a street light at the subdivision’s entrance. Hardesty said that’s impossible without residents paying for it. “I t ’s a neighborhood situ- SEE BUS STOPS, A8 A6 THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS FRIDAY, N O V EM B ER 7, 2008 G O V E R N M E N T M E E T I N G S M O N D A Y N O V . 1 0 BRIGHTON BOARD OF EDUCATION 7 p.m. Brighton Education and Community Center, 125 S.

Habitat for Humanity receives grant to expand resale shop in Genoa Twp. C o m m u n i t y F o u n d a t i o n g i v e s $ 1 0 , 0 0 0 f o r a b i g g e r s t o r e R E A L E S T A T E & B U I L D I N G BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News The Livingston County Habitat for Humanity has gotten a $10,000 grant from the Community Foundation for Livingston County to help with the expansion of its Home Center resale shop. “The Community Foundation has given us tremendous financial assistance with this project and we are very thankful for it,” says Larry Pfeil, executive director of Livingston County Habitat for Humanity. The foundation, established in 1991, looks for projects to fund that will benefit the charitable needs of Livingston County, and is an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan. Home Center Manager Thom Rademacher says sales are up 15-20 percent from a year ago. The store’s growing inventory includes everything from dining room sets to stoves, and washing machines to light fixtures. The store will increase from 6,500 square feet to 10,000 square feet into the back of its present building at 7198 Grand River Ave. in Genoa Township. The Home Center serves both Livingston Counly and western Oakland County. “Donations have been very good. We have a generous population,” Rademacher says. The Home Center offers later-model appliances and furniture that’s in good shape as well as building supplies at a lower cost. Proceeds from the Home Center go toward building affordable housing. Pfeil says Washers and dryers are among the many items for sale at the Habitat for Humanity Home Center in Genoa Township. FILE: ANGELA SPOONER, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS that the Home Center’s volume, donations sales, and number of customers has been increasing since the store opened in 2003. From October 2005 through April 2007, the Home Center diverted 670 tons of materials from landfills, and the revenue fi'om the sale of those materials helped build three houses for families in need. Currently the Howell High School construction trades class is building a home at the Parker Campus; the house will be moved to an yet-undetermined location for Livingston County Habitat for Humanity.

The Brighton resident worked as a sign language interpreter and hair stylist until she damaged her right arm from overuse several years ago. After being told there was little medicaiUy to be done to help, she looked to alternatives to strengthen her body. “Yoga was the only thing that helped,” she said. A registered yoga teacher and Reiki master, Coffey taught yoga for two years before opening Spirit Rising Yoga & Healing in a niche space on St. Paul Street. “I wanted a sacred space. A place people can come and sit and just be,” she explained about her approach to her studio, which boasts soft green walls, natural light, a bamboo ceiling and hardwood floors. Each Saturday morning, Coffey offers a free Community Hatha yoga class at 10 a.m., focusing on controlled breathing, relaxation, meditation and balance and strength. Other classes - including faster- paced Athtango and Ymyasa yogas, as well as healthy backs and iDasic classes - are offered throughout the week. A book club on Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth” is offered Wednesday mornings and “A Course in Miracles” is offered on Sunday mornings. Also planned are workshops, devotional chanting, drumming circles and women’s groups. Coffey also offers has a small store selling yoga clothing, books, mats and other items. “My whole goal is service,” she said. “The whole thing about yoga is healing the spiritual, physical and emotional. To show someone what’s possible - to get through it and get past it.” Address: 111 St. Paul St., east of Grand River Avenue, north of Main Street, downtown Brighton.

While diesel costs have gone down, Pinckney is still trying to balance this year’s budget while planning ahead for another deficit next year, Danosky said. Hamburg Township Po lice Chief Steve Luciano said he occasionally hears complaints about school bus stops and is aware of this is sue. “I know school officials consider the safety of the kids first, and it’s understandable that buses can longer no go down every street,” he said. “Schools are under a lot of stress to do whatever they can to keep expenses down.” Keeping kids safe on their way to the bus stop is everyone’s concern, Luciano said. Parents should accompany their children or send them in groups whenever possible and drivers must be on the alert for children walking to their stops early in the morning, he said.

Alverson, 61, is a highly respected administrator who led Fowlerville through a 2004 $49 million bond issue that allowed the district to build and renovate the entire campus of grades K-12, including a state-of-the-art performing arts complex and gymnasium.

He wants to spend some time with his family and we congratulate him.” Call said replacing Alverson will be particularly difficult because he served as the district’s financial officer as well as superintendent. “That’s going to be a big discussion among us (board members),” Call said. “We’ve been spoiled.” Alverson worked as a teacher and principal in f Fowlerville schools since 1969. He retired in 1999 as high school principal and returned as superintendent in 2000. He brought the district out of a $360,000 deficit, and . a $752,000 tax debt to Handy * Township, leading the district to solvency within a year.

Green Oak Township resident Mike O ’Connell has no grand illusions of beating his 12-year-old daughter, Gabrielle, who just finished her first cross country season at South Lyon’s Millennium Middle School. “Sh e ’ll probably outrun me,” admitted O’Connell, a self-described “old Novi (High School) lineman.” “She runs under nineminute miles. That’s too quick of a pace for me.” Still, he looks forward to the chance to enjoy a sport he and his daughter took up after his wife died of cancer two years ago. They’ve used running to bond and relieve stress. The race, run by the Green Oak Township-based Second Wind Race M an age ment, is set for Saturday at 10 a.m. at Possum Hollow in Kensington Metropark. Richard Singletary can relate how tough it is to keep up with the teenagers in his home. He ran the event last year with his daughter Kristen, a senior runner at Northville High School. It was just the second race he’s entered. “I ran it and had a good time,” he recalled. “As far as being competitive with her and I, no. We just run. I ran behind her the whole way, but she sprinted off and beat me by a bit.” Race organizer Greg Sadler moved the race from South Lyon’s home course to Milford High School’s home course this fall. Angie Pridmore, a senior captain for the South Lyon girls cross country team, said she enjoyed running it in competition this fall. “The hills were definitely intimidating,” she said. “It was a really good course. There was a lot of different things. It wasn’t just a boring circle of three loops to make a 5K.” With just two other events on the local running schedule - the Fantasy of Lights 5K in Howell on Nov. 28 and the D a sh in g Through the Snow 5K in Fowlerville - and the weather eventually turning for the worse, this race is certain to be a “last chance” for m any local runners. “The name says it all,” Mike O’Connell said. “It is your last chance to get out and participate in an event other than on a treadmill in the basement. That’s where I am headed next.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

Over the past few years, club founder Dennis Murphy has helped to mold five young members who have gone on to become the youngest “D ” rated fencers in the state. Fencing has an intricate rating system in which participants earn points toward a higher ranking based on who they beat and how they fare in tournaments. Dennis Murphy, founder of the Liberty Lakes Fencing Club, has helped train good young fencers. Marc Gilmore, 13, an eighth-grader at Hartland’s Ore Creek Middle School, is the latest member to achieve the status earlier this year. This summer, Murphy, a Crated fencer, challenged Gilmore to a match, with the loser getting- a haircut. Murphy ended up with a mohawk. “I can barely beat him now. only once in a while” Murphy says, while watching Gilmore fence at a practice earlier this week. Murphy says his approach of fencing to his student’s ability level allows them to improve. If they show a good move, he says, he’ll allow them to score a point. “We have a positive attitude that goes a long way,” Murphy says. “At a tournament I heard a coach yelling at a kid. It’s such a hard sport anyway. You don’t need that.” Gilmore credits Murphy with helping him become more aggressive. “I ’m a patient fencer,” he says. “I just wait for (my op- SEE FENCING, 82 It 's d o o r d ie f o r H o w e ll, H a r t la n d A t o u g h H i g h l a n d e r t e a m f a c e s s k i l l e d , f a s t E a g l e s i n p l a y o f f t o n i g h t J A S O N D E E G A N The Livingston Community News I t’s Howell grit versus Hartland glamor. In other words, it’s the Highlanders’ perceived edge in toughness against the E agles’ supposedly superior speed and skill that will decide today’s 7 p.m. playoff showdown at Howell. Whichever team clicks best will deliver a signature win. Neither the Highlanders nor the Eagles has ever won a district championship on the gridiron. At the end of the night, one team will lay claim to being the best team in school history (although Howell has a pair of 9-0 teams from 1963 and 1955 that will beg to differ).

But three teams - the Pinckney boys, the Brighton girls and the Whitmore Lake boys - all finished among the top 10, a solid building block for the future considering all three teams were very young. The meet was Nov. 1 at the Michigan International Speedway. Of the 21 runners from those teams, only six were seniors. E a ch program produced an all-stater as well. Pinckney senior Matt Wines led the way, finishing seventh in Division I in 15 minutes, 31.9 seconds. After three consecutive state championships, the Pirates were eighth as a team. The Pinckney girls were 14th in D ivision I as well. Brighton freshman Elizabeth Klingshott led the Bulldogs to fifth place in Division I by finishing 26th in 18:36.3. Brighton coach Gary Meehan said he was pleased to be in the top five but added his girls could have run better. Only one Bulldog set a season- best time on what’s considered a fast course. “We should have run a little better,” he said. Brighton graduates senior E llo ry Green, who just missed all-state status by finishing 39th, and Amanda Halonen, who was 127th, but returns a ton of depth and talent. Whitmore Lake junior Zach Carpenter was all-state for the second season in D i vision 3, improving from 28th a year ago to ninth in 16:05.5. The Trojans, who were a disappointing ninth as a team, graduate just one senior.

That helps a lot.” The Highlanders (9-1) continue to be steady, not spectacular, on offense. They tend to march down the field methodically, then bam! Senior quarterback Robin Witjes or running back Bryce Lindberg makes a big play. It’s a formula that has delivered back-to-back conference championships for the first time in school history. Howell’s efficiency hurt the Eagles last time. The Highlanders are the only team to score more than 17 points against the Eagles, winning 30-20 on Oct. 3. Hartland counters with an aerial attack that has scored a school-record 321 points (the old record was a mere 231 points). Senior quarterback Chris Cagle plays pitchand- catch with seniors Vonn Jones and Carson Pippin and sophomore Matt Poches. Cagle has thrown just one interception, compared to 15 touchdowns and 1,577 yards passing, according to www. maxpreps.com. He’s also rushed for 650 yards.

Poches (612 yards receiving) caught a touchdown pass from Kyle Summerfield on a fake reverse in last week’s 21-0 win over Grand Blanc, the E ag le s’ first postseason triumph since 1990. “Their offense is a highpowered attack,” Howell coach Aaron Metz said. “We have to figure out a way to slow them down. Offensively, we have to hold onto the ball. Sometimes the best defense is offense. We have to be opportunistic.” Both coaches believe the game will be won in the trenches. Howell’s offensive line will attempt to grind down Hartland’s defense. The Eagles hope to block well enough for Cagle to run (and throw) wild. “You have to FENCING FROM Bl M e m b e r s h a v e a p a s s i o n f o r t h e s p o r t , m e d a l s o r n o t ponent) to attack.

The 15-year-old sophomore at Howell High School recently finished in 16th place in the men’s foil at a national Division 2 tournament (which includes C-rated fencers and lower) in Ohio. Brighton’s Dale Karolak, 49, has won multiple gold medals this fall, too. “He’s been on fire,” Murphy says. Other members just have a passion for fencing, with or without medals.

Adding to the intrigue of it all, almost the entire offensive line for Hartland - tackles Josh Theis and Ryan Simancek, guards Jake Warner and Putz and tight end Jon Stevens - s ta r t s both ways. How will they hold up in a punishing, physical game? “We get breaks when we need them,” Putz said. “We are fresh the whole game. It works out well.” Jones, Summerfield and Pippin start both ways, too. Hartland coach Marcus Dukes said he isn’t concerned about his eight two-way starters tiring. “Most of them have threeman rotations,” he said. “They don’t have to take all the snaps, but they take pride in their conditioning. They could take all the snaps if they needed to.” Howell, which leads the series with Hartland 21-8, has won five in a row against the Eagles since a 32-8 loss in 2003. As favored Whitmore Lake found out last week, though, anything goes in the playoffs. ■ Prediction: Howell 21, Hartland 17. ■ Last week's record: 1-2. ■ Best pick; Howell 20, Milford 17. Score: Howell 16-6. ■ Worst pick: Grand Blanc 38, Hartland 30. Score: Hartland 21-0. ■ Season record: 41-18. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

Never rake them into or near storm drains, ditches, creeks or the river. Decaying leaves use up the water’s oxygen, harming aquatic inhabitants. L e a v e i t ! Mulch leaves by running over them with your lawn mower at next cutting. Leaves and grass clippings are the best fertilizer for your lawn. O r . . . r a k e i t a n d l e a v e i t ! Rake leaves into a compost pile for a nutrientfertilizer to use on your garden next spring. Rake it...or leave it.

Everyone will ride on the parade float created by representatives from VG's Food and Pharmacy. ■ Favorite parade memory: Every year, the time spent with family. Longtime supporter Dr. Ismael Yanga takes the spot this year BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News Tradition and tight-knit relationships are pillars of Dr. Ismael Yanga’s world. So when the Howell physician gave up his customary seat to view the annual Fantasy of Lights Parade, a seat he has occupied for more than 20 years, people who know him would know he had g good reason. “I’m going to be the grand marshal,” said an excited and honored Yanga, 76. Yanga was visited Nov. 4 by leaders of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, the event’s organizer. “I thought they were coming for another donation you know, because I give a lot of donations,” he said. Instead, they came with good news; Yanga was selected by a committee of past parade grand marshals to lead the 25th annual Fantasy of Lights Parade on Nov. 28. “He’s just been one of the great ambassadors to this community,” said Chamber President Pat Convery. Yanga moved to Livingston County from the Philippines in 1970 and has been involved with the county’s only nighttime parade almost since the beginning. He began building illuminated floats for his former church, Bible Baptist. “As a community, we should be proud of where we live,” he said when asked why it’s important to get involved. This year, Yanga will ride in a float built by representatives from VG’s Food and Pharmacy. He’ll ride together with his wife, Ruth, and children, Michele and Dr. David Yanga, all of Howell. His wife’s relatives from North Carolina also are expected to ride, including a niece and nephew under the age of 10.

Editor's note: This is the first in a series of stories about Livingston County's downtown business districts. This week, we look at Howell. BY CASEY HANS Th^ Livingston Community News The holiday season is upon us, and smart downtown retailers in a down economy will survive the crunch. “It really comes down to the individual businesses and the viability of the business,” said Nathan Voght, Downtown Development Authority and Main Street executive director for the city of Howell. “The people who are doing well - there’s a reason. They’re making smart choices and getting the support they need.” The character of Howell centers on its historic nature, Voght said. As the county’s largest downtown, it is the county seat and has the landmark Courthouse as well as county administration offices and city hall. A variety of restaurants, antiques dealers, specialty retailers, salons, insurance agencies and other service providers choose Howell as home. Specialty stores such as Carolyn Reed’s Pur-Se represent the heart of what makes up the city’s business district. The Howell-area resident opened her second store in the 100 block of East Grand River Avenue a little more than a year ago. She was looking for inventory storage for her Frankenmuth store and decided it made more sense to open a store in Howell than to rent storage space. Reed said she now considers Howell her primary operation. Pur-Se offers not only retail and custom-made purses, but also has a kids’ corner with Webkinz, specialty 'froll beads, Baggallini tote bags and other accessory items. “This whole store is a work in progress,” she said, adding that she likes the atmosphere of downtown Howell. “I like the buildings. It’s nostalgic. It’s clean. It’s conservative. I think this (type of store) fits in Howell.” Such stores also draw people to Howell fix)m out of town. “I’ve had people from Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo come to town, just because of this store,” she said. A newer Howell business that opened in April 2007 is the Main Street Vfinery, owned by John and Sandy \^letel of Howell. First John Vyletel, left, who owns Main Street Winery with his wife, Sandy, talks with Howell Downtown Development Authority and Main Street Executive Director Nathan Voght. The winery, open for about a year and a half, has done well located at the corner of Grand River Avenue and Walnut Street. opened as a tasting room, visitors can now sit down for a glass of wine and appetizer. “We have just stayed really steady,” she said. “In fact, we’ve seen a ste a ^ increase. I think Howell is very walkable - it draws a lot of people into the community. You want to stay; you want to come back.” Other specialty businesses are changing with the tiines, but holding their own.

This reflects the number of historic buildings we have retained and how much we value historic preservation in our community." - Nathan Voght, DDA and Main Street director. Nov. 4 gives Dems hope Obama received more votes in county than any other recent Democrat BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News Livingston County may still be a county run by Republicans, but the strong showing by Democratic candidates in the Nov. 4 election has give local Democrats a boost. “I think we did well because of the desire for change ... and the phenomenal candidate we have (in Barack Obama,) who is just so inspiring and empowering to people,” said Judy Daubenmeier, Livingston County’s Democratic Party Chairwoman. Although Obama lost to John McCain in the county by a margin of 56 percent to 42 percent, Obama received more votes in Livingston County than any other Democratic candidate in recent history. Obama also carried the cities of Brighton and Howell. On Saturday, local Democrats will begin the process of looking ahead as they select a leadership team for the coming year. Daubenmeier said she hoped to continue to lead the local party efforts. “We will be watching the legislature in Lansing and assisting Gov. (Jennifer) Granholm in any way we can,” said Daubenmeier. “We’ll be keeping pressure on our congressional representatives and asking them to vote with Obama.” Several Democratic candidates had a strong showing in local races, but Daubenmeier said it’s always hard to beat an incumbent “and it’s very hard for a Democrat to beat a Republican in this county when we haven’t held power in so long. “But every time you do well, you generate more interest.” Daubenmeier points to several races in the county where the Democrats were able to mount strong challenges.

OPPAT The Livingston Community News A 13-year-old Putnam Township boy has been charged with sexually assaulting a neighborhood girl on her 11th bi^day, killing her cat, assaulting her younger brother, harassing her mother on the telephone and kicking and punching another boy at a school bus stop. The incidents occurred over several months, starting in y^ril, but were not reported to police until mid-October, Pinckney Police Chief Denis Aseltine said. Criminal charges were iBled Nov. 3. Pinckney Community Schools Superintendent Dan DanoslQf said TUesday the incidents had not been reported to the district, two weels after charges were filed by Livingston County prosecutors. He said the boy remains a student at Pathfinder School. The girl and the younger boys attend different schools. Aseltine said the incidents began on the girl’s 11th birthday, as she and the boy sat on a couch at her home watching a movie in their Putnam Township neighborhood. He said the girl told police the boy sexually assaulted her, causing her to flee to her mother’s room and lock the door. He said the boy’s mother later apologized to the girl’s mother, so llie incident was not reported, even though the girl said she remained in pain for several days after the assault. In Jufy, Aseltine said, the boy admitted to stepping on and killing the girl’s cat, but claimed it was an accident. The girl’s mother told police the cat was never allowed outside. She took the cat to Michigan State University for a necropsy, which listed multiple liver fractures and hemorrhaging in the lungs and kidney, as causes of death, Aseltine said. Aseltine said the boy has admitted he shoved the girl’s 8- year-old brother off his bike in July. The 8-year-old told police the older boy lifted him, while on his bike, threw him to the ground, then threw a scooter at him. The girl’s mother also said the 13-year-old called her on the telephone and cursed her, and posted obscene comments on the girl’s MySpace page. The incidents were finally reported, Aseltine said, after an 11-year-old neighbor boy told police that the 13-yearold knocked him down at the school bus stop in mid-October, then kicked him in the stomach and repeatedly punched him in the head. Livingston County prosecutors said the charges against the 13-year-old include second- degree criminal sexual conduct, a 15-year felony for an adult; animal cruelty or torture, a four-year felony; malicious use of a telephone, a six-month misdemeanor; and two counts of assault and battery, a 93-day misdemeanor. Danosky said the schools have no authority to discipline the boy - who he said had not had any discipline problems at school - since none of the incidents occurred on school property. “This is not one that fell apart inside the system,” he said of the district’s lack of knowledge about the charges. “This is one that never got to the system.” Livingston County Prosecutor David E Morse said his office sends monthly reports of all arrests of students to area schools, but since the 13-yearold was charged Nov. 3, that report would not go out until next month. He said the school would have been notified earlier if the incidents had occurred on school property. The teen is scheduled to appear Dec. 10 in Livingston County Juvenile Coiul;.

The company excavates and pours building foimdations. Deputies said Nicholas Berry, of Ottawa Lake, was one of two employees moving a 10,000-pound metal cjiinder on a dolly when it got loose. Berry’s condition was not available by press time on Wednesday from the University of Michigan Medical Center. Athletic field use OK'd by Genoa Twp. Two recreational athletic organizations in Livingston County will now be able to use the athletic fields in Genoa 'Township as a result of a lease agreement approved this week. The two organizations - the Southeastern Livingston County Recreation Authority and the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority - provide recreational sports programs for children and adults. The oneyear lease agreement becomes effective Jan. 1, and is annually renewable. It will cost the two athletic groups $1 per year. The athletic fields can be used for several sports, including football, soccer, rugby and lacrosse, said 'Township Supervisor Gary McCririe. The township has no baseball fields, although they are planned in the future, he said. No scheduling conflicts are foreseen, since the two groups will be doing joint scheduling. The township has said it will pay for maintenance, lighting and improvements to the fields. The township board decided that it wanted to make township facilities available to a wider group of people, McCririe said. “We decided it was going to be a priority, and this is the first step of our commitment toward that goal,” he said. Howell Carnegie library now smoke free The building and grounds of the Howell Carnegie District Library became smoke free as of Sept. 2 following approval of the Libraiy Board of 'Iriistees. According to Director Kathleen Zaenger, patrons so far are pleased with the new policy She believes the policy change “is a positive change toward making the facility and the surrounding grounds a cleaner, healthier and more family-friendly environment for all to enjoy.” Library patrons who wish to smoke may go to the public sidewalks that border the streets around the library grounds. Admission lowered for holiday event Leaders of the Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority have lowered the admission fee for the grand opening festivities of the group’s second annual Holiday in the Park event. “We’ve had an opportunity to re-evaluate our admission fee to Holiday in the Park based on the economic conditions that many are facing this holiday season and because additional sponsors have been identified to help,” said recreation Director Debbie Mikula. Rather than $6 per vehicle to enter and view the trees, the charge will be $3 per vehicle. Canned good donations for Gleaners Community Food Bank also will be accepted in lieu of the admission fee. “We hope that we will be able to collect at a minimum at least one can per person,” said Mikula. The Howell City Park will be lined with a hundred trees decorated by local families, businesses, church groups, scouting groups, clubs, and service organizations. 'The park will be open 6 to 9 p.m. Dec. 5-24. Opening festivities will take place Friday, Dec. 5. Santa will make his grand entrance at 6:30 p.m. to light the trees and be available for photos with kids. The evening will also feature horse-drawn carriage rides ($5 per person,) choirs and hot chocolate.

LETTERS Become selective with food dollars A study of 16,000 people in 52 countries in the current issue of “Circulation” found that eating meat, fried foods, and salty snacks raised the risk of a heart attack by 35 percent. Conversely, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables reduced the risk of a heart attack by 30 percent. Again, a 24-year study of 88,517 female nurses in the April 14 issue ^f “Archives of Internal Medicine” found that those who ate lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and plant-based protein were 24 percent less likely to have a heart attack and 18 percent less likely to have a stroke than those addicted to a more typical American diet. With the cost of medical care becoming a national crisis, it’s high time for each of us to assume more responsibility for oiu- own and our family’s health by becoming more selective with our food dollars.

Hamburg pay to go up t w p . e m p l o y e e s c a n e x p e c t a t le a s t 2 p e r c e n t B Y L E A N N E S M I T H The Livingston Community News Hamburg Township’s non-elected employees are receiving a 2 percent costof- living raise this year, and many of them will get a little bit more based on their job performance. The raises, retroactive to July 1, were approved Monday in the final vote of an often disagreeable Board of Trustees whose members were nearly all replaced in the Nov. 4 general election. A new board was sworn in Thursday. The portion of the raises based on merit, however, still could change, as incoming Supervisor Pat Hohl, a former trustee, warned they would be part of the incoming board’s “top-to-bottom” review of the township budget. All staffing, salaries and benefits will be looked at, he said. The intent, Hohl said, is not to take any of these raises away, but to make sure the recommendations they were based on and the amounts being given have been well thought out. Based on the board review, some employees could receive more, not less, he said. Outgoing Supervisor Cindy Pine and Trustee Chuck Menzies, who joins Hohl as the only other returning member of the former board, voted against the raises. Pine said township revenues are too uncertain and raises should be dealt with by the new board, which is tasked with paying for them. In the past, though, raises - if given - typically have been handed out shortly after the board adopts a new budget each July 1. Outgoing Clerk Joanna Hardesty argued for the raises, which were part of the 2008-09 budget adopted by the board this fiscal year. She said they followed through with a 2005 boardadopted plan to put all employees on a fair and structured pay scale with a merit system of raises based on goals and objectives. Although not budgeted, the merit increases, which are going to 18 employees, can be covered by lowerthan- expected increases in employee health insurance costs. While a 15 percent hike was budgeted, the actual increase was less than 4 percent, freeing up about $6,600, Hardesty said. Ten employees stayed at their current level based on their evaluations and four township employees actually decreased a step based on their performance review.

Brighton Twp. church to serve 500 dinners Thanksgiving Day feast expected to draw record number B Y T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News They go in for Thanksgiving in a big way at the Cornerstone Evangelical Presbyterian Church. “We’re going to be serving about 500 dinners,” says coordinator Janet Oswald. Each year, members of the Brighton Township church carefully prepare a sumptuous - and scrumptious - feast fit for a king or queen. “The Lord has been very good to us, and we want to 8hare that,” says assistant coordinator Karen Leaf The fifth annual Thanksgiving Day dinner on Nov. 27 is expected to draw a record number of guests, due to more people being in difficult economic circumstances. Leaf said. As a result, organizers are increasing the amount of food, with 45 to 50 turkeys (up from about 30 last year), 500 pounds of potatoes, a couple hundred pounds each of green beans and corn, plus cranberry sauce and home-made stuffing. Members of the congregation also will make pumpkin pies and other desserts and take them to the church’s Hess hall, where the feast will take place. Church volunteers will each pick up a turkey at church this Sunday, take the bird home and cook it either Wednesday or Thanksgiving morning. “Everything else will be done homemade, from scratch,” says Leaf The public’s help is being enlisted in finding more people to attend, particularly those who would otherwise be home alone, or whose circumstances have changed. “We’re encouraging people to find somebody who is alone on Thanksgiving, or who is in difficult circumstances, and bring them over,” Leaf says. For those without a ride to the church, transportation will be provided. Advance reservations are requested to get an idea on how many people are coming. Although Sunday is the deadline for reservations, Oswald and Leaf assure that no one will be turned away. Oswald, mindful of the biblical loaves-and-fishes story, says she is sure God will provide, regardless of how many guests show up. “I don’t worry about running out,” she says, confidently. Cornerstone Church is located at 9455 Hilton Road at Hunter Road, Brighton Township. For reservations call 810-494-4059.

Another key Fowlerville school official plans to retire Veteran administrator Don Buggia says he will leave in April B Y L I N D A T H E I L News Special Writer Fowlerville Community Schools Assistant Superintendent Don Buggia, 60, will join Superintendent Ed Alverson in retirement by the end of the 2008-09 school year. Buggia informally informed the school board of his intention to retire shortly after Alverson, 61, submitted his resignation Oct. 28, to be effective April 1,2009. Buggia has been a teacher and administrator for the district for 36 years. He has not yet submitted a formal resignation, and will time his departure to meet the needs of the district. Board President Mike Brown said the board is in an ideal situation to deal with the transition. “We do have the gift of time,” Brown said. “It’s not too much; it’s not too little; it’s just right.” At a special meeting Nov. 13, the board made plans to invite Carl Hartman, director of the Michigan Association of School Boards superintendent search service to a special board meeting this month to discuss the board’s options. Because Alverson has been acting as the district’s financial officer as well as superintendent, the board must decide what functions it wishes the new administrators to perform. Former Fowlerville school board member and current Livingston Educational Service Agency board secretary, Harold Fryer, attended the Nov. 13 meeting to inform the Fowlerville board of the intermediate school district’s intention to offer shared financial services to county districts, similar to the service LESA is now providing, under contract, to the Brighton Area Schools. “If you don’t get a strong finance person you may be able to work with us,” Fryer told the board. The board has not yet formed a search committee. NOTICE PUBLIC HEARING PUTNAM TOWNSHIP PLANNING COMMISSION The Putnam Township Planning Commission will meet at the Putnam Township Hall, 3280 W.

Great Lakes Community Nonprofit Housing Corp. was the petitioner in 2003. Corporate leaders had hoped to provide four apartment buildings, with 24 living units, for low-income candidates as well as clients fi*om Livingston County Community Mental Health Services and Livingston Area Council Against Spousal Abuse. OLHSA’s Venture Housing unit has taken over the former Great Lakes properties and intends to market to the same clientele. “Our market studies showed a conservative need for housing is a couple hundred units,” said Venture Housing President Don Jones. OLHSA currently manages 33 units in Livingston County. “That is why we’re moving forward with the project now despite the economy. The need is still there and the funding is in place,” Jones said. The project will be funded through bond sales and two federal programs and could begin as early as April. The $3.6 million complex would sit on three acres along M-59 at Oak Crest, abutting several single-family home developments. When first proposed, residents raised concerns over parking, lighting, additional traffic and who would live there. “Primarily individuals with disabilities” would live in the apartments, according to Erica Karfonta, director of Livingston County services for OLHSA. “This is a robust project that would help them to become more self-sufficient and it would be tied to services from organizations in the community that people already know and trust.” “And the people that would be living there are people who already live in Livingston County. They are the sons, daughters, mothers and 'O u r m a r k e t s t u d i e s s h o w e d a c o n s e r v a t i v e n e e d f o r h o u s i n g is a c o u p l e h u n d r e d u n i t s .

D o n J o n e s , V e n t u r e H o u s in g p r e s id e n t fathers of your neighbors,” Jones added. The plan brought back to the Planning Commission Nov. 13. showed little change from the original proposal, which prompted commissioners to send it to a committee to seek updated information. Supervisor Bill Bamber remembers jammed public hearings in 2003 as residents aired concerns about the project. “It’s got some history there,” he said, but the properly is zoned for multiple residential, “which qualifies it for this use.” If approved, the complex would become the first state-subsidized housing project in the township. The city of Howell has 14 living units recorded with Venture Housing, 13 of which are in The Golden Triangle condominium complex off M- 59, west of D-19. City Manager Shea Charles said “there have been no issues” with residents placed by Venture Housing. The agency also manages 13 units in the city of Brighton, four in Handy Township and two in Genoa Township. A Michigan State Housing Development Authority program allows Venture to place qualified people into residential units, and Venture pays property taxes at a rate of 6 percent of the rent.

MARSHAL F R O M A1 Yanga to ride with wife, children, other relatives “We’re all very excited,” he said. This is a special time of year for the family according to Ruth Yanga, as family members near and far regularly gather. Thanksgiving Day is traditionally followed with more family visits, spiced cider and turkey casserole. “We always eat before the parade,” and upon returning from the cold, crowd-filled streets, they have “more goodies, wassail and get all warmed up again,” she said. In a holiday season full of spiritual meaning, Ruth Yanga believe the Fantasy of Light’s lineup of events represents the light-hearted side of the holidays. “It’s an honor to be in the parade,” she said, “but for me it’s also about remembering the time of the year it is.” Ismael Yanga said he’s been getting congratulations from well-wishers since he was announced as this year’s grand marshal. Aside from helping with the Fantasy of Lights, traditionally the day after Thanksgiving, Yanga lends financial support to the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest. “This community has been very good to me,” he said, “and I want to help. I wish to also encourage others. If I can do it, so can they.” L a u r i e H u m p h r e y c a n b e r e a c h e d a t lh u m p h r e y@ l iv in g s t o n c o m m u n i t y n e w s .c o m o r 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 0 3 .

Livingston County Democratic Party Chairwoman Judy Daubenmier says local Democrats were encouraged by the strong support for Barack Obama in the mostly Republican Livingston County. Here she gives supporters an update on election night. JIM JAGDFELD, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS DEMOCRATS f r o m a i Leader credits door-by-door volunteers crats competed in races for supervisor, clerk and trustees. Although there were no winners, Daubenmeier said Democrat Matt Evans ran a strong campaign against Republican incumbent Mark St. Charles for supervisor. EJvans lost 4,943-4,168. He did not return repeated phone calls from The News. In the race for Hamburg Township Clerk, Democrat Debbie Buckland lost in a close race to Republican Matt Skiba that also included ousted incumbent Joanna Hardesty as a writein candidate. Skiba received 4,766 votes, Buckland 4,444, and there were 2,239 writein votes. “Joanna took away Democrats, and I needed all of them to win,” said Buckland. “I thought it was a long shot being a Democrat in Livingston County, so it’s hard to take my loss personally.” Her husband, David Buckland, who ran as a Democrat against incumbent County Commissioner Dennis Dolan in the 8th District, lost by a vote of 4,932-4,297. “I believe that a lot of people in this county voted straight party ticket and that a lot of the Republican votes came that way,” said David Buckland. “Swinging this county will depend a lot on Obama’s performance (as president). He wants to work with the state at a federal level to bring back jobs and restore the auto industry. “If all this is successful, I can see strength returning to Democrats particularly with the white, middle-class vote, which is a lot of what Livingston County is. Maybe by the next election cycle, things will have changed enough to get some local Democrats elected.” Daubenmeier said she was pleased that both state ballot proposals - one to allow the medicinal use of marijuana and one to loosen restrictions on embryonic stem cell research - were supportedjn the county and statewide. “People in this county are willing to vote against abortion rights because they don’t see their own personal Hamburg officials OK land purchase Agreement could get township off the hook with the DNR and open up trail BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News A piece of property near its eastern boundary could help Hamburg Township solve two problems at once. The nearly 11 acres at Hall and Hamburg roads could get the township out of hot water with the state Department of Natural Resources and allow it to open up the Lakelands 'Rml to the Green Oak Township border. Hamburg officials on Monday approved a purchase agreement with resident Joe Vellardita for the property, which was appraised last June for about $3ffi,000. That’s in line with the $300,000 appraisal the township received last month for the nearly 12 acres at Merrill Road where the township hall, police department, library and senior citizen center are built. If the DNR agrees that the land being purchased is a fair exchange for that on which the municipal complex is built, it will end a nearly five-year effort to correct Hamburg’s mistake of building on land that was acquired more than two decades ago through grant funding that stipulated it only be used for public recreation^ purposes. “We do not anticipate any problems with the DNR,” said township attorney John Drury. “I’m hoping this will be put on the fast track and we will be able to close this out by the end of the year.” The township was notified in March 2003 by the DNR that by building where it did, it was in violation of the terms of state and federal grants given for improvements to the 374-acre Manly W Bennett Memorial Park. 'Township officials have tried to replace the acreage taken up by the buildings with other pieces of land, including some adjacent to its wastewater treatment plant off East M-30. They even tried without success to negotiate a cash payment to the DNR to settle the issue. Part of the problem, Druiy said, was that the replacement land had to be of equal value and have equal recreational usefulness as the park land. During the process, Hamburg 'Township has been excluded from consideration for grants that could have brought further improvements to the park, said outgoing Clerk Joanna Hardesty, who served oh the township’s recreation committee. “That has stalled any park improvements beyond those we were able to do through fundraising by the sports and recreation groups that use our facilities,” Hardesty said. “Hppefully, we will be able to move forward now.” Buying this piece of property also will allow the township to complete its full sixmile portion of the Lakelands Trail from Putnam to Green Oak townships. The township’s portion of the trail, paved and widened in 2007, stopped at Hall Road when an easement agreement couldn’t be reached with VeT lardita for his land.

Obama had an army of people here, and when you’re campaigning for the top of the ticket with that kind of enthusiasm, it helps our local candidates, too.” Debbie Buckland, who has worked for different facets of the Democratic Party for many years, said, “I think the Democrats of Livingston County have a lot to be proud of, and people here need to hear our voices more.” L i s a C a ro t in c a n b e r e a c h e d a t lc a r o lin@ l iv in g s t o n c o m m u n i t y n e w s .c o m o r a t 8 1 0 - 8 4 4 - 2 0 1 0 . Gifts sought for troops Annual community effort will send needed items overseas B Y T O M T O L E N The Livingston Community News For the fourth year in a row, the American Spirit Centre in Brighton Township is sponsoring its “Gifts for 'Troops” program, in which donated items are shipped to Iraq and other overseas U.S. military installations. The deadline for submitting donated items is Monday. Sherry Gransden of the Ladies Auxiliary Post 4357 is coordinating the program. Gransden says there is a very good reason her group organizes the program each year. “(Our soldiers) need all the support they can get from the people at home,” she says. “It brings out the good in people, and as long as we can, we’ll do it.” According to Gransden, it’s a grassroots effort, saying “99 percent” of the items are donated by individuals in the community. Items that make excellent gifts are homemade cookies and other baked goods, toiletries (shaving kits, deodorant, tooth paste), wraparound sunglasses (because of the desert sun), packages of Christmas cards and hand-written notes of encouragement. Gransden says 200 packages were sent last year and the ladies auxiliary is hoping to increase that amount this year. Sending the “care packages” to U.S. soldiers is not inexpensive; last year, $1,200 was spent on postage. Gransden says local Cub Scouts will be coming in Monday to help get the items packaged and ready for shipment. Also lending a helping hand will be the grandchildren, nieces and nephews of the Ladies Auxiliary. “They hand-make cards and sign them and compose hand-written notes saying ‘Thank-you, we’re proud of you’,” Gransden says. Those wishing to donate items should drop them off at the American Spirit Centre, 10590 E. Grand River Ave. in Brighton Township (east of US-23) or drop off a check and specify that it’s for the “Gifts for 'Troops” effort.

Some 90 people are serving on committees and between 60 and 100 “friends” are signed up to offer volunteers assistance for downtown activities and events, he said.

In this economic climate, committee chairwoman Stephanie Schlittler, a local chiropractor, said the focus is on retaining businesses. “So far, so good,” she said. “The businesses, property owners and residents are on board. That is how a successful city is going to flourish.”A group of volunteers called the Howell Business Assistance Team helps with everything from e-commerce to marketing, signage or other needs. Often small businesses don’t have the resources or the expertise to do everything, she noted. A recruitment effort also is under way to bring new businesses to town. “We’re trying to keep all four engines running,” Voght said. “It’s a hard climate right now for everybody.” C a s e y H a n s c a n b e r e a c h e d a t c h a n s@ liv in g s to n c om m u n ity n ew s .c om o r a t 8 1 0 -8 4 4 - 2 0 0 5 .

That’s probably the case for many of you. What better reason do you need to get the extended family together than a holiday that’s based on a feast to celebrate a successful harvest that came about through people helping each other. In the best of times, that’s how families work. The ability to help - whether it’s in the family or not - could be in short supply this year. Lots more of our family, friends and neighbors are hurting. That puts more pressure on those who are able to lend a hand. While- the haves and the have-nots exist in every community, that great contrast is becoming more visible in Livingston County. Gone is the fast-growing community that sprouted subdivisions as quickly as some yards sprout dandelions in the spring. Today it’s mortgage foreclosures, not building permits, that are keeping county officials busy. You don’t need me to tell you that the economic crisis facing our nation is putting people out of work and out of their homes. You probably know someone who has lost his or her job. Maybe you have a neighbor who is trying to sell his house to cut expenses. Perhaps you’ve had to tell your college- bound teens they need to consider a community college instead of the small private college they’ve always wanted to attend. During a recent meeting with several Livingston County social service agencies, it was clear that an increasing number of Livingston County residents are feeling the pain of our faltering economy. Of all the lunches served in Livingston County schools, 24 percent of them are served to students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. Those are families in need. The number of meals provided by Gleaners Community Fbod Bank in Livingston County during the month of October was up by 84.5 percent from the same month a year ago. That’s huge. Which brings us back to the holiday of bounty that so many of us celebrate in the coming week. Maybe those of us who can afford a turkey and all the trimmings should consider extending our families to include the less fortunate among us. When you go shopping for your Thanksgiving dinner, consider buying a few extra cans of green beans or cream of mushroom soup and dropping them off at the local food pantry. Write a check to Cornerstone Evangelical Presbyterian Church to help pay for the 500 meals church members plan to serve on Thanksgiving Day. Donate $30 to Angel Fbod Ministries (www.angelfoodministries. com) to provide a family with a Thanksgiving meal. There are several local churches working with this national organization. Lend a hand to the Brighton Rotary Club, which next week will deliver prepared Thanksgiving meals to 130 local families. Invite someone - perhaps a senior citizen who may spend the day alone - to share your bounty this Thanksgiving. It’s the new definition of extended family.

When this sort of thing happens you feel utterly alone and forgotten. To have people give us the help they have, and the really touching letters and e-mails that enabled us to go on, was a blessing,” said Messner-Loebs, 59, who lives with his wife, Nadine, in Green Oak Township. In 2001, life had become hell for the couple. The cartoonist - who had been working with DC Comics on the company’s “Wonder Woman” and “Flash” projects - was out of work. Eventually, the couple lost their home in Pinckney when the loss of income and mounting medical bills caught up with them. They lived for a time in various homeless shelters around Livingston County and worked odd jobs when they could. Bill Messner-Loebs applied for temporary services but never got called; he said he believes employers don’t want a one-armed man representing their company. Messner-Loebs was born with a cancerous tumor on his right arm, which was amputated. “I’m not the kind of guy who should be driving Bill Messner-Loebs ■ Age: 59. ■ Occupation: Writer, illustrator, creator of graphic novels and comic books. ■ Where he works: His home in Green Oak Township or at the Brighton District Library. ■ Appearance: Messner-Loebs will be a guest this weekend at XcapeCON2, a pop culturecomic book convention at the Holiday Inn, 5353 Gateway Centre, Flint.

Sure, it’s inconvenient sometimes, especially when I’m carrying three bags of groceries. That’s when I think it’d help if I had another arm.” His plight received media attention, which took on a life of its own on the Internet. Brad Meltzer, a New York Times best-selling novelist and University of Michigan alumnus, and Michigan State University alumnus Geoff Johns, a writer for TV’s “Smallville” and one of Messner-Loebs’ successors on “Flash,” wrote about Messner-Loebs’ situation on their Web sites. “I read his work growing up, and it had an influence on me,” said Meltzer.

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS MELTZER F R O M A 5 Humor a 'subversive reflex/ cartoonist says DC, Marvel, and other publishers to give Messner-Loebs work as did many creators in the medium, including Mark Waid, editor-in-chief of Boom! Studios. Some people went so far to send him money. “That’s less an indication of the kind of person I am and far more a measure of the kind of guy Bill is - a loyal and good man who has a way about him that everyone adores,” said Waid. “In the quarter-century I’ve known Bill, I’ve never heard anyone express anything but affection for him. Never once,” said Waid, who met Messner- Loebs during his days when he was an editor at DC. In August 2005, Messner- Loebs wrote a fill-in story for DC’s “Green Arrow” - his first published work in five years. Since then, he has found work on a somewhat steady basis. He has contributed stories to “Zombie Tales” for Boom! Studios and illustrated the humor spoof “Chicken Wings for the Beer Drinker’s Soul,” for Novi-based Com Publishing. Com also will be publishing a biblical coloring book he’s illustrating. The monthly cartoon he illustrates for the Livingston Parent Journal is being turned into a line of greeting cards and a calendar. F inding work again, as well as proceeds from benefit books done on his behalf, enabled Messner-Loebs to purchase a mobile home in Green Oak Township in 2006, where he and his wife now live. Upcoming work includes possibly a new version of his graphic novel “Journey,” which tells the story of life in 19th century Michigan. “I was trying to come up with an idea that hadn’t been over-used in comics. There was the idea running around at the time that comics were kind to legendary characters, and characters who are exceptional - Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, even Popeye. “I wanted to do something that wasn’t super heroes or science fiction or horror. I loved them, but they were already being done. And to do them well required a slickness and perfection of execution which I didn’t possess,” Messner-Loebs explained how he created “Journey.” He continued, “I had been reading about the mountain men of the 1830s. Well, these were legendary guys and underused in a way that western gunslingers weren’t. The scruffiness and casualness of the ambiance was appealing to me. As I started (the) stories, I realized I’d be investing a huge amount of time just to figure out the basic topography, flora and fauna of California. If I moved the scene 20 years earlier those same trappers and pioneers would be in Michigan. I could do research by just looking out the window.” Throughout it all, Messner- Loebs has maintained a • t I] m «1.00 BEFORE 6»i|>1.75 AFTER 6mlTUK,AaSH0»VS5O< THE DARK KNIGHT O N TW O S C R E E N S 12:00 1:00 3:004:00 6:00 7:00 9:00 10:00 PG13 W AU -E 12:20 3:20 7:15 9:30 0 BURN AFTER READING « 12:40 3:40 7:30 9:40 9 2e?7U9oi — I I Al II I I h i II II11II11 — MASTCRS Medical S upply S A L E S • S E R V IC E • R EN T A LS • R E P A IR S LIFT C H A IR S • SC O O T E R S • W A L K E R S A ID S FOR DAILY LIVING 6 4 8 0 G r a n d R iv e r , B r i g h t o n ( a c r o s s fr om B o rd in e 's) 1 - 8 0 0 - 2 8 6 - 9 9 8 9 L ift C h a ir s s ta r tin g a t $ 5 4 9 S c o o t e r s s ta rtin g a t $ 8 9 9 P rid ie BCMia * * * * * ^ ____ * ^ " * ^ * * 297521001 A C H I E V E R S Brighton man named to panel Kelly G.

Center accredited HOSPITAL F R O M A 5 iStan brings realism to hospital training “Currently iStan is being used for the nursing staff at St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital,” says Jared Meade, internal communications coordinator for St. Joseph Mercy Health System. “The iStan was also used to simulate a heroin overdose with the Woodland Urgent Care staff.” Meade says the nursing staff can perform skills on the simulator that they couldn’t do on a live model such as defibrillation. 'The iStan not only mimics symptoms but also responds Erectly to treatment administered by trainees such as defibrillation as well as ojygen and intravenous drugs. “The realism brought to medical training using simulation is an awesome tool,” says Meade. “There are quite a few national and international studies that show better retention and better comprehension, especially of complex medical situations, using simulation.” There are 24 hospitals in the country using the iStan, but the Livingston County hospital is the first one in Michigan to use it. . The new tool has been used ^ to train doctors, nurses, U.S. troops in Iraq to train for biowarfare and combat injuries, and by Homeland Security to teach emergency personnel how to deal with weapons of mass destruction and bioter- | rorism.

Main Brighton (810) 227-2925 Expecting Someone? E x p e c t t h e B e s t sense of humor about everything, refusing to give in to bitterness, despair and selfpity, tempting as it was. He believes it’s better to laugh. “As a professional in the humor game, it’s a little awkward when people want to talk about how good humor is for you. Be funny - it’s as healthy as eating your vegetables or taking your medication everyday. “Humor is a subversive reflex. I’m not sure I could abandon it, even if I wanted to. Besides, the day we officially lost the house was Sept. 10, 2001. I had exactly 24 hours to feel like the unluckiest person on the planet. Then I grew up,” he said. “So many people have invested in me getting back on my feet; it’d be a betrayal of them if I didn’t keep going.” Messner-Loebs’ comeback amazes Waid but doesn’t surprise him. “Bill’s always shown an astounding ability to prevail over various hardships - his is the most relentlessly positive human spirit I’ve ever encountered, and it’s always been an inspiration to me,” said Waid. “It’s easy to say that talent will always persevere; it’s more accurate, in Bill’s case, to say that it’s pretty clear that the universe must realize how incredibly gifted Bill is, because while the fates have tried him time and again, he always comes back stronger and more focused than ever.” To schedule a tour of the Merle and Shirley Harris Birthing Center at Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital, call (248) 937-5120.

More than 100 trees are expected to be on display at The Opera House. JESSICA MCINTYRE. THELMNGSrON COMMUNITY NEWS Holiday fundraiser features decorated wreaths, trees BY USA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News More than 100 beautifully decorated trees and wreaths will be on display at The Opera House in downtown Howell over the Thanksgiving weekend. The occasion is the threeday, 14th annual Fantasy of ^ Ihees event, which benefits the programs and services of the Women’s Resource Center, Child Abuse Prevention Council and Health Families Livingston. “We’re expanding our offer- ^ ing of smaller trees and wreaths " this year because of the economy,” says Mary Rettenmaier, community coordinator for the Women’s Resource Center. “It’s the committee’s hope that people will be willing to purchase a tree or wreath, even if they can’t afford a full-size, elaborately decorated tree.” The trees, wreaths and other holiday items will be available to purchase, and there also will be a gift raffle table with more than 50 gifts to win. In addition, kids can have lunch with Santa at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 29, and there’s a chocolate festival on Sunday, Nov. 30, fl*om 1 to 3 p.m. ^ Margaret Bigham, leader of Howell’s Wild Hearts 4-H Club, has been decorating trees along with her 4-H members each year for the past four Fantasy ofTrees ■ What: 14th annual holiday tree and wreath sale to benefit the Women's Resource Center, Child Abuse Prevention Council and Health Families Livingston. ■ When: Friday-Sunday, Nov. 28-30. ■ Hours: Friday, noon- 10 p.m., Saturday, noon-5 p.m., and Sunday, 1-4 p.m. ■ Where: The Opera House, 123 W.

Two of their decorated trees are on display at the Howell Carnegie District Library. “This event is great because it raises money for the Women’s Resource Center,” says Bigham, who works in the library’s technical services department. “Both of oiu’ trees have the theme of snow and ice, and all the decorations are wired on and won’t fall off. It’s a nice thing to buy a tree already decorated, and it’s for the community.” Rettenmaier says that in years past, nearly 2,000 people have participated in the Fantasy of Thees event.

Pizza maker aids Brighton Bulldog brand Little Caesars partnership brings $12,000 to district's athletic department BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News A new partnership with Little Caesars Pizza of Brighton will mean an annual donation of $12,000 to Brighton Area Schools’ athletic department. The Brighton school board Nov. 10 approved a districtwide corporate sponsorship program with Little Caesars Pizza. Brighton Athletic Director John Thompson, said the sponsorship will help build the Brighton Bulldog brand. “This relationship will help support programs directly related to our kids,” said Jack Yates, principal of Brighton’s Hawkins Elementary School. “While it is a districtwide contract, the really important component to note is that each b u il^ g and program gets to decide where these supplemental funds will be most needed and most effective.” By becoming the district’s primaiy vendor for pizza sales for school-sponsored events, excluding football games, each school in the district, along with the music, performing arts and athletic programs, will have equal opportunities to reap benefits from the partnership. In addition to the $12,000 that the district’s athletic department will receive.

He used one guiding principle in all of them: Doing what’s best for the team. The meet begins today with the preliminaries at Eastern Michigan University, followed by Saturday’s final heats. Only the top 16 times in each event advance. “We want to do the best we can as a whole,” Black said. “The goal is to be top four to get a trophy.” At individual competitions like the swimming and track state finals, coaches must figure out how to maximize their point-scoring potential, especially with star athletes like Brighton senior Marybeth Hall. Black could have rested Hall for her two signature events, the 200-yard individual medley and the 100 butterfly, but she will also swim on two relays, the 400 freestyle and the 200 individual medley, to give the Bulldogs a chance to compete with the top teams in the state. Hall has finished runner-up in the IM and fly three times over the past two years. Brighton junior Hayley Johnson, a returning allstater in the 50 ft'eestyle, and sophomore Morgan Zebley also will swim four events apiece. “We’ll be fine as long as S E E SWIM, 8 2 LEISA THOMPSON,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Marybeth Hall of Brighton and Ashley Cohagen of Ann Arbor Pioneer hug after finishing second and first in the 100-yard butterfly during the MHSAA Division 1 state swim meet last year at Eastern Michigan University.

End of gymnastics era at Hartland Economics causes program disbandment Hartland sophomore Taylor Jayne will compete as an individual, practicing at High Flyers, after the Hartland gymnastics program was disbanded. BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News The Hartland High School girls gymnastics program has been disbanded, signaling the end of an era for one of the most successful programs in Livingston County. Hartland athletic director Jerry Cowan said the season was “canceled” because “it was economically not feasible to run.” “Last year, we finished the season with four or five girls,” Cowan said. “You have to run buses for meets and pay entree fees. We just don’t have the kids to support it. The numbers were not there.” Cowan said the “death spear” of the Hartland program was the Michigan High School Athletic Association’s decision two years ago to disband large-school co-op programs, which split the Hartland co-op with Milford and Lakeland into three separate programs. Now all three are gone, he said. The news hit Hartland sophomore gymnast Taylor Jayne pretty hard. “I was shocked,” she said. Jayne has landed back on her feet for the time being. She followed her friend, Howell gymnast Courtney Schippers, to the High Flyers Educational Gymnastics Academy, the Genoa Township home of the S E E HARTLAND, 8 2 Brighton senior Tiffeny Wysocki practices kicks on the beam at the High Flyers Educational Gymnastics Academy in Genoa Township.

They begin swinging and twirling under the watchful eyes of a judge brought in to critique the routine. It doesn’t matter what school the gymnasts represent - whether they’re Brighton Bulldogs or Howell Highlanders, or even a Hartland Eagle (see accompanying story). The girls sitting nearby still cheer the performances. Although most gymnasts train and compete year-round, they’re gearing up for a high school season that begins Dec. 6 with the Judges Cup in Fhrmington. Both the Bulldogs and Highlanders are gunning for the same goal: qualifying as a team for the state finals March 13-14.

But the 30 or so seniors for the Eagles (9-3) can still celebrate a special season, one that Hartland coach Marcus Dukes hopes changed the mentality of a program that has struggled to win over the years. “That’s one of the things that we talked about on Saturday (after the loss),” Dukes said. “Now those kids that are juniors and sophomores, they have an obligation to continue what the seniors started. It is not a one-year thing. We don’t want it to be. It will be thenjob to make sure it will not go wasted.” Here’s a look back at the season, honoring the players who made it all happen for the seven area programs (players were only allowed mention in one category): ■ Game of the year: Hartland 34, Howell 23 on Nov. 7. Howell’s 21-point burst in two minutes made it memorable, not to mention Hartland’s first district championship in school history.

Division 2, Pinckney: 200 free (Przybyl, Katie Klavinger, Caitlin Meadows, Natalie Turner). we focus on swimming fast,” Black said. That’s the goal for every local swimmer. South Lyon won’t send nearly as many swimmers as the pack of Lions that finished third in the state last year, but there’s still enough in the tank to finish among the top 10. South Lyon teammates Jenna Faletti, a returning all-stater, and Paige Drazga will both swim four events, including a race against one another in the 50 freestyle. Faletti was seventh a year ago and Drazga ninth in the state’s fastest event. “They swim the race differently,” South Lyon coach John Burch said. “It’s a pretty good rivalry. Neither likes to lose.” The South Lyon 200 medley and 200 freestyle relays could score big points if they duplicate last year’s thirdplace finishes. “We are in the ball game for that high of a finish,” Burch said. IN B R IE F Hamburg Township Fun Festtouse Bennett park The Hamburg Enhanced Recreation Organization has been granted permission from the Hamburg Township Board of lYustees to use Manly W Bennett Memorial Park for its annual Family F\m Fest through 2013. The long-term agreement will allow the HERO Board of Directors to enter into a long-term contract with Wade Shows Inc. for carnival rides and concessions, said Joanna Hardesty, HERO board president. The Fhmily F\m Fest takes place during Father’s Day weekend every year. Livingston County Bill OK'd for group homes exemption Nonprofit group homes serving Michigan residents with disabilities and other special needs would be exempt fitim local school operating millages under legislation approved by the Michigan House. The measure, introduced by Rep. Joe Hune, R-Hamburg Township, is part of a bipartisan package that exempts the group homes from other taxes to help them survive the current housing crisis. House Bill 6492 creates the tax exemption for homes that are organized by 501(c)(3) groups for low-and-moderate income individuals who are eligible for the public mental health benefits. “As many people know, our property taxes have increased, maldng charitable group homes much more expensive to operate,” Hune said. “These are worthy endeavors that offer affordable housing to Michigan residents who are in need, so we must do everything we can to keep them afloat.” A Michigan Supreme Court ruling this year declared that multisite nonprofit charitable housing groups that previously qualified for local property tax exemptions were no longer eligible because they were not owneroccupied. HB 6492 now goes to the Senate for consideration.

Swimmers from Howell (two individuals and two relays) and Hartland (two relays and Renee Kantola in two individual, events) must produce great preliminary efforts to advance to Saturday’s finals. “All of our times (during the regular season) are perimeter times,” Howell coach Jim Downs said. “You don’t know who will be in there (Saturday).” At the Division 2 meet in Holland, Pinckney’s Ashley Przybyl will compete in three events: The 200 IM, 100 fly and the 200 freestyle relay. Pinckney coach Laura Eibler said Przybyl will be gunning for two long-time varsity records in her individual events. “She has been swimming well in practice. She has a chance to do it,” she said. Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. HARTLAND F R O M B1 Girl keeps competing Brighton and Howell varsity programs. Jayne practices with the Bulldogs and Highlanders but competes against them at meets as an individual for Hartland, now operating under MHSAA rules as a club program with no support from the school. “They (the other girls) are really nice and welcomed me the first day,” she said last week at practice. Jayne said it’s more difficult to get to High Flyers than her previous gym, the Hartland Gymnastics Academy at the old Hartland High School, but the “effort is worth it.” “Since now I can’t compete as a team, I have to work W d to place individually,” she said. “I have to rely on myself. I just have to try my best and get up there and learn new skills.” Jayne’s new coach. High Flyers co-owner Nancy Gregory, remembers a time when the Hartland and Brighton co-ops were fierce rivals. The Eagles won a state championship, edging runner-up Brighton in 1999. From 2000 to 2006, the Eagles finished among the top 10 in the state five times (missing just twice). The expectations are much lower now. “Just to keep them going is our goal,” Gregory said. “Taylor will be fine. It’s got to be hard for her dosing her team). She has a lot of hidden skills we hope to find.” Jason Deegan can be reached atJdeegan@ iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012. Brighton has younger team (vault, floor exercise) and Amanda Rohkohl fljalance beam). Fellow senior Lyndsey Lawhead, junior Courtney Schippers, sophomore Katelyn Beno and freshmen Jordan Phifer and Amanda Pompilius round out the Highlander lineup. “We are all very excited this year,” Rohkohl said. “We have a solid team. Our hope is to go as far as we can make it.” The Bulldogs are much yoimger, thanks to four freshmen: Kendra Hardy, Meredith Robinson, Alex Geddis-McCririe and Emily Rose; sophomore Marina Moretti and junior April Szuma. Senior Tiffeny l\^ocki, who finished in 13th place on the vault at the Division 2 state meet, will lead Brighton. “We have a bunch of new people, so we are just working on getting our routines ready,” l\^socH said. “We will see what we can do.” High Flyers co-owner Nancy Gregory, who coaches both teams, said competing in the new Kensington Lakes Activities Association will allow for a bigger meet schedule that will test her athletes. The KLAA ^ features powerful programs like Plymouth Canton and Salem and Northville. “My personal goal is for every single (girl) to make regionals in at least one event,” she said. Presents...

P ic k e tt says th e th in g he rhisses mo st a b o u t h om e is his w ife , w h o d ie d th r e e years ago. BY JO M A T H IS The Livingston Community News Sister Sarah Burdick was so upset last month when she read about the beating and robbery of 83-yearold John Pickett, she knew she had to meet him. “I read that he was an 83-year-old veteran, that he was a widower, and he had no children,” said Burdick, who teaches theology at Gabriel Richard High School in Ann Arbor. “And I thought: I have to meet this man. I have to meet him because I want to tell him I’m praying for him. I’m sorry about what happened to him, and I wanted to thank him for serving our country.’” So she looked up the Genoa Township man at the University of Michigan Hospital and visited him there. “His face was about the color of this shirt,” she said, pointing to a photographer’s crimson shirt. “He could hardly breathe. I went in and I just took his hand and said, ‘Mr. Pickett, I read about you in The Ann Arbor News, and I’m just so sorry,’” she recalled. “Nice to meet you,” he responded, adding that he wished it could have been under better circumstances. Recalling the attack Pickett didn’t think much of it when a man showed up at his home Oct. 29 dressed in a hard hat and looking like the utility worker he said he was. “He said they were going to run a line down to my meadow to build a generator down there, and he wanted to see tlie property first,” said Pickett, who lives alone. “So I said, ‘OK.’” Pickett put on his jacket and they walked down to the meadow together. The man, who kept a distance of 5 or 6 feet, was on his cell phone most of the time and wouldn’t make eye contact with Pickett. He also seemed to be stalling as they looked at the land. But it wasn’t until they were walking back to the house and Pickett noticed the man’s car that he thought something was wrong. “I wondered: Why would a Michigan utility man use an Illinois plate?” he recalled in a soft voice. But before he had time to react, the man said: “Let’s go in the house to tglk,” and escorted him inside. Pickett immediately noticed a crowbar on a table and started to ask about it. That’s when the man punched him and pushed him down the basement stairs. For the next 90 minutes, the man beat Pickett, kicked him and threatened him SEE PICKETT, A4 BRUCE SHIELDS, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Dean C lancy shakes hands w ith John Pickett w h ile Jenny Ham m e and Rebecca Nagel loo k on a t th e Glacier Hills Retirement Community.

Howell senior will earn 2-year degree before graduating BY TO M TO L EN The Livingston Community News Howell High School senior Whitney Hoganson might be termed the quintessential overachiever. The 17-year-old daughter of Gwen Hoganson of Howell Township and Robert Hoganson of Genoa Township will receive her associate degree in December from Lansing Community College, six months before she graduates from high school. Hoganson is one of a growing number of students who are taking advantage of dual enrollment programs, in which a high school student may take college-level courses while attending high school. Hoganson likes the challenge of college classes. “I think it’s awesome,” she says. Although she has taken several advanced placement SEE DUAL ENROLLED, A4 Dual enrollment Here is a look at the number of dual enrollment students attending Livingston County area high schools: ■ South Lyon; 27 (16 at Schoolcraft College, 5 at Oakland Community College, 5 at Washtenaw Community College, 1 at Eastern Michigan University). ■ Brighton: 16 (8 at WCC, 7 at EMU, 1 at Schoolcraft). ■ Pinckney: 13 (all attend WCC or Lansing Community College, plus 30 enrolled in online college programs). ■ Whitmore Lake: 11 (all at WCC). ■ Howell:9(7atLCC,1atEMU,1at Michigan State University). ■ Fowlerviile: 6 (4 at LCC, 1 at MSU, 1 at Baker College). ■ Hartland:2(1atLCC,1atMSU). www.mlive.com/livingstoncommunitynews Road work will choke Hamburg 3 major projects to be done on or near M-36 BY L E A N N E S M IT H The Livingston Community News A trifecta of road improvement projects await those traveling through Hamburg Township next summer. There will be some total road closures, detours and traffic backups, especially during peak traffic times, but officials say getting the jobs all done at once will prevent future headaches for Hamburg motorists. The three projects, all expected to begin sometime after Pinckney Community Schools close for the summer on June 10, 2009, are: ■ Construction of right turn lanes at Merrill Road and M-36. ■ Widening and addition of turn lanes on M-36 at Pettys Road. ■ Construction of a single roundabout at Winans Lake and Hamburg roads and upgrades to the Hamburg Road bridge over the Huron River. Although the work won’t be easy on travelers, it’s necessary to catch the township’s infrastructure up to the rapid growth Hamburg has experienced in recent years, said Supervisor Pat Hohl. An average of nearly 16,000 cars travel M-36 every day from the Pinckney eastern village limits to Hamburg Road, according to the state Department of 'Transportation. “It’s going to be very difficult on people and businesses, but this is needed for the traffic demands and safety of the roads,” Hohl said. The Pettys Road project has township officials, business owners and police es- SEE HAMBURG, A4 1-96 will see many projects in new year Kensington Road will close so overpass can be rebuilt BY T O M TO L EN The Livingston Community News In addition to the high-profile road projects in Hamburg Township, road crews will be working all over Livingston County in 2009. The biggest road project in Livingston County next year, according to Steve Bower, manager of the state Department of'ITansportation’s Tl^sportation Center, is the reconslraction of 1-96 from east of US-23 in Brighton 'Township to the Oakland County line. The project includes demolishing the 1-96 overpass at Ifensington Road and replacing it with new bridges as well as new exit and entrance ramps. Kensington Road will be completely closed to through traffic for the project. Improvements also wUI be made to the Pleasant Valley Road bridge over 1-96, but one lane will be maintained in each direction. “The project is challenging because 1-96 is one of the most congested areas in the state,” said Bower. He said signs will be erected on freeways in the Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint and Lansing areas warning of the work on 1-96 and advising drivers to take alternate routes.

Tom Murphy, who became Brighton Township Supervisor Nov. 20, said that in a letter, Stoever cited two reasons for resigning. “He cited that he had alreaify purchased computer monitors that the board did not want to purchase, so they had to be sent back,” said Murphy. “The other item was his insurance benefits, and that policy has a 90-day wait period. Bud Prine (who was the previous supervisor) had asked that the board wave that 90-day period, but that never got brought to a vote.” Murphy said Stoever believed that the board showed a loss of confidence in him, though Murphy said it had nothing to do with the job he had been doing for the sbc weete he was there. Murphy said the board will now look to hire either an interim manager or a fidl-time manager. Stoever declined comment. Fowlerville Society ordered to pay ex-worker The Fowlerville Agricultural Society has been ordered to give unpaid salary and benefits to a Fowlerville Family F^ir manager it let go nearly three years ago. Livingston County Circuit Court Judge Stanley J. Latreille last week upheld the decision of a state Labor Department administrative law judge that granted about $6,600 to Linda Dancer, who was fired by the nonprofit agricultural society in January 2006. That is occurring amid an ongoing Livingston County Sheriff’s Department investigation into the possible misappropriation by two former employees of $50,000 to $70,000 in fair funds from 2004 and 2005. A report of the nearly two-year investigation was turned oyer to Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse last month. Morse declined to say if Dancer was one of the two fair employees targeted. He has asked the sheriff’s department to do some additional investigating before he considers charges, he said.

Police seek man after body found A man who police believe turned on the li^ ts and television in his rented room, then left a dead woman behind on his bed is being sought for questioning. Hamburg Township Police Chief Steve Luciano said Donald Robert Reid Jr., 55, also is wanted for absconding from parole he was serving on brealiig-and-entering, drug and child-support convictions. Luciano said Ryann Anderson, 25, of Brighton, was found dead Nov. 15, when the owner of a house in the 7300 block of Sheldon Road sent a person in through a window in Reid’s room to turn off the lights and television. She was the second woman who apparently overdosed in Reid’s presence in about a month. Autopsy results on Anderson are pending, but she was a known drug user, police said. Last month, Reid was questioned by South Lyon police after a woman overdosed on drugs but survived, Luciano said. He said Reid was not charged in that incident after he told police last month that the woman used her own drugs to overdose. Reid, who is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds, had lived in the Country Meadow Motel in South Lyon, and works in construction in Oakland County. He may be driving a red GMC pickup truck, and is a known drug user, Hamburg Township police said. Anyone with information should call police at 810-231-9391.

Grand River Ave. Livingston County Carrier who hid mail is charged A Livingston County mail carrier who authorities say stashed thousands of pieces of mail in a storage unit has been charged with a misdemeanor. Jill Hull is accused of deserting the mail for more than two years, which carries a maximum penalty of a year in prison. The charge was ffled last week in federal court in Detroit. Postal investigators say Hull admitted to storing mail because she couldn’t keep up with deliveries on her route near Howell. The mail was discovered in September after Hull missed payments on her storage space in Fowlerville; she had resigned from the post office a month before. Hull’s case was not presented to a grand jury, which means a guilty plea is likely. Messages seeking comment were left Monday with her attorney and the prosecutor. She first appeared in court in October. From News staff reports Police liaison o fficer to leave B righ to n H igh School BY T OM TOLEN The Livingston Community News It looks like 2,300-student Brighton High School will have no police liaison officer come Monday. At its meeting last week, the Brighton City Council voted to discontinue funding the program because the city and school district lack the funds to operate it. The two local governments had been splitting the cost for several months. “It’s a very sad day,” said Mayor Pro Tern Ricci Bandkau. The action stemmed from a letter by Interim Superintendent Bonnie Riutta saying that “due to severe budgetary problems, the district is unable to continue to pay any portion of the associated (liaison officer) costs.” The school district is grappling with a $2.5 million budget deficit, and the city also is in a tight budget year, having instituted pay freezes and other austerity measures. The city paid the full cost of the program for three years until last spring, when it and the school district began sharing the cost. It would have cost the city $7,000 per month to continue the program on its own. Bandkau said there has been no offer forthcoming from the townships surrounding Brighton to help pay for the program. About 90 percent of BHS students come from outside the city. Police Chief Tom Wightman said the liaison officer is able to avert problems by maintaining a presence. City Manager Dana Foster said he has not yet filled a vacant police officer position that was already budgeted, and plans to have the liaison officer fill the vacant position beginning Dec. 1. = r i iK I i\ f \ ( ; s i : >\ = C O M M U N IT Y Published each Friday.

ANGELA SPOONER, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Dental clinic sees demand grow daily People without insurance sign up for care BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News It’s been just a bit more than two months since the VINA (Vision, Integrity, Need, Action) Community Dental Center opened to offer affordable dental care to residents without dental insurance. The demand for services grows daily. “There are a lot pf people who need us,” explains office manager Cindy Gates, who is the only employee of the Brighton clinic. “There is clearly a high need in Livingston County for affordable dental care.” Gates says the office is working with a call list of dentists who volunteer their time based on availability. Clients who meet the criteria are placed on the list on a first-come, first-served basis. Currently there are 11 dentists volunteering at the clinic along with eight dental hygienists and 10 dental assistants. “We could still use more dentists as well as monetary donations,” says Gates, who adds that some of the volunteer dentists include periodontists and oral surgeons. “If someone needs more than we can offer, we direct them to the University of Michigan Dental Clinic in Ann Arbor. We are seeing people from all over Livingston County and all ages from 18 and above.” The clinic does not see children because there are a number of dentists in the county who participate with the Healthy Kids program through the Department of Human V IN A C o m m u n i t y D e n t a l C l in ic ■ What: A free dental clinic for Livingston County residents who have no dental insurance and who meet income guidelines. ■ Where: 400 E. Grand River Ave., Brighton. ■ When: By appointment. ■ Details: 810-844-0240; www. vinadental.org. Services. “We’re getting a darn good response, and people are deeply appreciative,” says volunteer dentist Dr. Harry Davis. “Our patients have just been clobbered. They’ve lost jobs and lost their dental insurance, and many have just skipped going to the dentist.” Davis says that because of the lack of regular dental care, they’re seeing patients with severe gum decay and periodontal disease, and many who are in pain. “We do the best we can to save teeth and eliminate pain,” says Davis. “We fill teeth, extract teeth, clean teeth and educate people about brushing and dietary control to try to help them help themselves.” “What’s surprising is that demographically who we are treating has turned out to be the working poor,” says volunteer dentist and oral surgeon Fred Bonine. He also is the fundraising chairman for the clinic. “Chronic neglfect is a huge problem, as well as a lack of information such as the fact that soda pop can destroy peoples’ mouths,” he says. Bonine says the clinic’s goals are to expand its hours, increase the number of volunteers, and to continue to raise money. The clinic will have a major fundraiser in February. A Valentines Ball is planned for Feb. 14, 2009, at Lakeland Country Club, “which we hope will be an annual event,” says Jana Walther, who is on the clinic’s fundraising committee. Walther says the clinic needs donations to continue to operate and has been helped by grants from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental, and the Michigan Dental Foundation. The clinic now has liaisons with dental schools at the U-M and the University of Detroit, both of which will be sending dental students and faculty to volunteer at the clinic. The purpose of the VINA Community Dental Clinic is to provide service for Livingston County residents who have no dental insurance and have an income at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. The clinic offers exams, cleanings and fillings as well as services for pain and infection, oral cancer screenings, and dental and general health education materials.

H o llyw o o d m o vie crew p um p s up Liv in g sto n C o u n ty eco n om y 'High School'clollars like a holiday bonus BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News West Sibley Street was eerily silent for a Tuesday afternoon, in spite of the large crowd that gathered between Jewitt and Chestnut streets waiting to see the most anticipated car wreck ever to come to Howell. Movie crew members and spectators alike were “quiet on the set” hoping each “take” would actually result in the spectacular crash of a red van racing west on West Sibley Street into a silver sports car heading north on Chestnut Street. In a first for the city, police, emergency medical service and fire personal already were on the scene and hoping to see an explosive collision. It was just another day of “action” for local movie crew members shooting “High School,” a film starring actors Michael Chiklis and Adrien Brody. Filming started weeks ago at Howell’s Parker High School in Marion Township and moved recently into the city, requiring some residents to avoid certain streets during parts of the day. And while local residents will not see the finished product, or the reason for their changed traffic pattern until mid-2010, many area business owners are seeing the economic benefits of the ongoing movie production. From hotels to restaurants, mom-and-pop stores to chain retailers, people affiliated with the movie production are boosting Livingston County’s economy. “The- city of Howell has been amazingly cooperative and we’re happy to go ahead and pump some outside money into the local economy,” said locations manager Jimi Woods. A handful of the city’s Department of Public Works staff helped stage the car crash scene while Howell police officers worked crowd control and fire personnel were on hand in case of an emergency. In total, cily personnel have logged about 150 hours in overtime, or up to $15,000, an expense covered by the movie company. “Our guys have had a little bit of a windfall just in time for the Christmas season that otherwise wouldn’t have been expected,” said Howell Police Chief George Basar. His officers have logged the greatest amount of overtime, estimated at about 110 hours. Homewood Suites by Mariott, 8060 Challis Road, in Brighton has housed up to 30 members of the movie’s production crew, 10 of them since the end of October, already yielding $150,000 for the hotel. When hotel managers learned that Michigan would start handing out tax credits to movie companies choosing to film inside the state, they asked to be listed on Web sites catering to movie makers. And when it became known that a company was looking to shoot inside Livingston County, “We pursued them,” said Janine McEvoy, director of sales for Homewood Suites. Inside the city of Howell, TVue Value Hardware owner Chuck Chapman has had sales of more than $500 for a variety of items sold to members of the crew. “They’re in here almost every day,” he said. When it came to props, Abe’s Auto Glass, 1018 E. Grand River Ave., has provided a couple of windshields as well as some glass plates for people to fall through. Down the street at Classic Carpets and Floor Covering, 2650 E. Grand River Ave. in Genoa Township, owner Tom Kuderko was caUed out to help outfit a location on Barnard Street. Kuderko was needed to clean, stretch and color a carpet to the producer’s specifications. Once filming is done in the house, he will replace the carpet according to the homeowner’s tastes. His bill to date: about $4,500. Closer to Parker, where the bulk of the movie is being filmed, Bella Market on Pinckney Road has become a favorite haunt for the production crew, said owner Kevin Jappaya. “It’s great to see how much money they are spending locally,” said Howell Area Chamber of Commerce President Pat Convery of the movie crew, “because I can make recommendations (for business services,) but you never know for sure if they’re going to use them.” She’s been told by representatives of the movie company that an estimated $6 million will be pumped into the local economy. “My position is that if it’s even half that, it’s not a bad thing,” she said.

C o u n ty a lte rn a t ive sch oo l could close d o o r s in 2 0 0 9 Howell considering options; sends fewer students than it pays for, school chief says BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News Renaissance Alternative School in Howell could close at the end of the 2008-09 school year, if the Howell Public Schools and Brighton Area Schools drop out of the alternative education program. Because a majority of the students come fi-om Howell and Brighton, a clause in the contract allows them to discontinue their participation at the end of the school year, says Howell Superintendent of Schools Ted Gaixiella. “We are researching other programs with better academic performance,” he said. “We’d like a turnkey partner to begin an alternative program next year.” Renaissance - serving middle and high school students who don’t thrive in traditional school settings - is run by the Livingston Educational Service Agency at the agency’s headquarters in Howell. With 87 students - most from Howell and Brighton - Renaissance is operated through a consortium of Howell, Brighton, Pinckney and Fowlerville school districts. It has sk teachers, one secretary and one social worker, plus a part-time psychologist. Gardella said the program is too expensive and the academic performance of students is too low. “In general, the program has not been up to (academic) performance standards.” “The contract requires us to buy (in advance) 51 seats at the full (state per-pupil aid) pricfe,” he added. That totals about $373,000 for Howell. But the district has 41 students, not 51, enrolled in the program this year. The result is that Howell is losing $73,000 in state aid that goes toward the alternative program, but without any benefit to Howell students. Brighton, like Howell, is paying for more students than are actually enrolled. The district paid for 41 students but has 22 enrolled this year, according to LESA Superintendent Scott Menzel. Brighton Area Schools’ Interim Superintendent Bonnie Riutta was unavailable for comment. Gardella stopped short of saying the district would leave the program. Menzel also said it would be “premature” to assume that Renaissance will cease operations. “There is a possibility of tweaking the contract,” Menzel says. “LESA is willing to look at adjustments, but we have to be able to cover the (student) slots.” On Dec. 8, Gardella will bring a full report on the issue to the Howell school board.

While work is focused on a quartermile of M-36 west of Chilson Road to Pettys Road, M-36 will be closed from Chilson to Pettysville roads for up to two months. Traffic will be detoured from Pettysville Road to Swarthout Road to Chilson Road. Police are especially concerned with added traffic on the side roads, said Hamburg Township Police Chief Steve Luciano. “All the traffic that goes down M-36 in both directions will be sent down a new route that’s not accustomed to that kind of volume,” Luciano said. “Hamburg Township roads are not like those in other areas because of the lakes. They are narrow and winding and there isn’t much of a curb on any of them.” Officers will be monitoring the detour route regularly, Luciano said. “Motorists should stay informed and look for other alternate routes,” he said. “If you don’t have to travel through this area at peak times, don’t. But, most of all, just be patient.” The summer season is the busiest for many businesses that will be affected by the M-36 closure. MOOT will maintain access to them during the project, said spokeswoman Kari Arend. The Pinckney-Lakeland- Hamburg-Hell Division of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce will do its best to urge people to patronize them, said President John Colone. “We hope people will take that little extra effort to stop and support these businesses,” Colone said. “A little extra time and gas will go a long way in helping them survive.” The project at Merrill Road will add right-turn lanes onto and off M-36. Township officials are hoping it is a prelude to the installation of a much-requested traffic signal at the intersection. Late afternoon weekday backups there are a regularity, especially in spring and summer when the athletic fields at Manly W. Bennett Memorial Park are in peak use. People tired of waiting to turn onto M-36 from Merrill Road make unsafe Uturns and create their own right-turn lane onto M-36 by jumping the curb, and those tired of waiting for a break in traffic take bigger risks in pulling out on to M-36 from Merrill Road, Luciano said. MDOT traffic counts have tallied nearly 1,500 cars passing through the intersection from both the east and west from 5 to 6 p.m. on specific days. The roundabout at the corner of Winans Lake and Hamburg roads was postponed by the Livingston County Road Commission last year after it couldn’t match federal funds for it. It should deal with heavy rush-hour traffic on roads that handle feeder traffic onto US-23 and 1-96. Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. R O A D S F R O M A1 M-59 scheduled for work The 1-96 project will cause consternation for drivers who regularly use Grand River Avenue, since it will involve lane closures. Although it won’t be an official detour. Bower predicts much of the 1-96 t r ^ c will get onto Grand River Avenue, east of Brighton, which was reconstructed and widened this year. He assures that three lanes will be maintained in each direction on 1-96 during the morning and evening commutes. “At other times, each direction will be down to one lane,” Bower said. 1-96 also will face a major reconstruction project in Uie Novi area of O^an d County, which will affect Livingston County commuters who work in Oakland County and beyond. Bower said. The freeway will be reconstructed from Beck Road to 1-696 and 1-275, and I- 696 will undergo a major facelift from 1-275 to 1-75. “It’s a high-profile project, but we’re going to do oiu" best to minimize disruption,” Bower said. Also in 2009, M-59 is slated for $5.9 million in improvements east of US-23 in Hartland Township at the entrances to two new commercial developments. According to Hartland Township Manager James Wickman, the project will be paid for jointly tluDugh a special assessment district by R^co-Gersheson, developer of the Meijer shopping center project, and Grand S a l ^ Properties, developer of the Wal-M^ project. The work involves extending the boulevard on M-59 to US-23, adding acceleration and deceleration lanes, new signage and Michigan left turns. In a related, $1.1 million project, the south end of Hartland Road wUl be relocated fix)m its present location across from Blaine Road to the Big Boy property and will be expanded to four lanes. Also, a roimdabout will be added at the planned Hartland Square Drive, which will be part of the Meijer development, llnffic lighte will be installed at the relocated intersection of Hartland Road and westbound M-59 and at Blaine Road and eastbound M-59. According to Livingston County Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine, the only other road commission project that is definite for next year is the addition of a left-turn lane at Newfound Gap and Covington on a half-mile stretch of Old US-23 in Brighton Township. Craine said the project is designed to reduce crashes resulting from drivers entering the Ravenswood and Pine Hollow subdivisions and St. Mary Magdalen Chiu"ch. The estimated project cost is $500,000, with $400,000 to be paid for through a federal safety grant. One possible project is the paving one mile of Clyde Road &Y)m Latson Road to Mack Road in Oceola Township at a cost of $1.1 million. Craine said the township will pay all of the construction costs through its road miUage. That will leave just one mile to go (between Mack and Ai^entine roads) to make Clyde Road paved all the way between Latson Road and US-23.

D U A L E N R O L L E D F R O M A 1 Program a stepping stone for college, says administrator classes in high school, she prefers coUege courses. “As iong as you pass, you’re guaranteed (college) credit,” she says, saying that’s not always the case with high school advance- placement classes. A couple out-of-county colleges operate programs in Livingston Coimty for high school students. Lansing Community College has a center at the Parker Campus of Howell High School, south of Howell. Washtenaw Community College has two Livingston County centers, one at Brighton High School and one at the old Hartland High School building. Eastern Michigan University has had a Livingston County campus since 2003 on Grand River Avenue in Genoa Township. Each student pays twothirds of the tuition cost for each course (plus textbooks and materials) and the school district picks up the other third. Howell Associate Superintendent for Business Rick Terres says the Howell district paid about $35,000 last year in college tuition reimbimsements. Howell High School Assistant Princip^ Jason Schrock says there are certain advantages to taking college classes in high school. “It saves a lot of tuition (money), it’s a great stepping-stone for college, they get that college atmosphere early and it gets them working toward that degree,” he says. At Brighton High School, many students have gotten a year or more of college by the time they graduate from high school, says the district’s executive director of curriculum services, Baiba Jensen. Jensen supports qualifying students taWng college-level courses. “The more options they have, the better,” she says. “We like the idea, we encourage it.” High school students must meet certain requirements to qualify for taking college-level courses. They must get a qualifying grade on the Pre-Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) exam, the classes must be academic and students may not take a course if it’s offered by their high school. Hoganson, who has a 3.8 grade-point average at both LCC and HHS, has been taking college classes since the last week of her sophomore year. She plans to remain at LCC to get her certification as a licensed practical nurse. Then she plans to switch to a four-year school to get her bachelor’s degree in nursing and eventually earn a master’s degree in nursing. Her reasons for pursuing a nursing career are very personal. “My sister passed away fit)m cancer in 1999, and I spent a lot of time - over two years - at the hospital. The nurses were the ones who made a difference in the patients’ lives,” she says. Hoganson has completed advanced phlebotomy, certifying her to draw blood, and performed that task as a volunteer at Saint Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital this year. Hoganson is taking 12 credit hours this fall, which will give her 60 credit hours - enough to earn an associate degree - when the semester ends Dec. 14.

The assailant, who was much larger than Pickett, knocked his dentures out and broke facial bones. He kicked Pickett in the ribs, breaking them. Pickett said he grew numb to the pain after the first 15 minutes or so. About halfway through the beating, the man duct-taped his hands and feet together. “If you don’t give me the money. I’m going to kill you!” the man threatened. “Where’s your money?” “I don’t have any money!” Pickett said. “I’m waiting for my Social Security check.” In fact, there wa.s some well-hidden money in the house. But Pickett wasn’t handing it over. “I thought, ‘If I give you the money, you’re going to kill me anyway,”’ Pickett recalled. “So I didn’t tell him where it was.” Finally the man gave up. He and his accomplice, who had been searching the house while Pickett and the other man were down at the meadow, took off. After it had been quiet for a while upstairs, Pickett freed himself and walked, bloody and swollen, to a neighbor’s house. No one was home. He then walked about 150 feet to another neighbor’s residence. H o w t o h e lp ■ Call police: Anyone with information about the attack on John Pickett is asked to call Michigan State Police Sgt. Mark Thompson at 810-227- 1051. ■ Make a donation: To provide financial assistance to Pickett, send a check to the John Pickett Fund, Fifth Third Bank, 10011 E. Grand River Ave., Brighton, Ml 48116. “I don’t recognize you,” she told him. “I said, Tm Mr. Pickett.’” “You sound like him, but you don’t look like him,” she said. “Would you please call the police?”’ Pickett asked. He was taken to the University of Michigan Medical Center where he had surgery. Now he is in a rehabilitation unit at Glacier Hills. Meanwhile, Michigan State Police investigators are looking for two men, one of whom they’ve identified as Noah Richard Lovell III. He’s charged with torture, armed robbery, unlawful imprisonment and first-degree home invasion. Pickett had never been a vicim of any type of crime. He spent three years in the U.S. Navy during World War II and returned without a scratch. Harboring no rage As he sat in his bed at Glacier Hills Retirement Community in Ann Arbor recounting his experience, he was stoic and matter-of-fact. People have asked if he didn’t want to kill the man the entire time. “No, I say. I just wanted him to leave me alone.” Pickett’s not sure when he’ll be released from Glacier Hills. But he’s not afraid to return to his home of 35 years, which is surrounded by state land. In fact, he said he wasn’t really scared the whole time he knew he was being savagely beaten. “I went into Normandy on the first wave dropping troops off,” he said, his eyes tearing for the first time during the interview. “I was 19.1 saw hundreds and hundreds of young men killed. So this is nothing compared to that.” Asked what he misses most about home, the retired barber instructor said, “My wife.” Pickett’s wife died three years ago. They had no children. RetiuTiing to the classroom after visiting Pickett, Burdick read the newspaper story to her students. “My kids were so angry about it. They said, ‘We want to make him a card.’” That poster-board card with about 80 signatiu'es now hangs above Pickett’s bed. Biu'dick has taken students with her on a couple of visits, and said they’ve enjoyed meeting “Papa Pickett,” although they don’t quite know what to say. “That’s OK,” said Burdick. “They’re learning.” She said the visits have heightened students’ awareness of the loneliness and the vulnerability of some elderly people. Two of the students asked if they could go visit other people at Glacier Hills who perhaps have no family members to visit. Senior Leslie Nagel said it could only be God’s grace that allows Pickett to be free of intense anger toward his assailant. “He’s really an inspiration,” she said. Senior Dean Clancy said he, too, had read the article about Pickett, whom he later learned is his best friend’s great uncle. “His family is absolutely devastated over it,” he said. “I was just shocked that someone would do that to a nice old man. It’s good that my school was able to come out here and provide hope for him. Hopefully if something like that would happen to me or one of them, someone would do this for us.” JESSICA MCINTYRE.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton takes on a g low Bryn Concepcion, 7, of Genoa Township, pets a 3-month-oid baby ^ goat heid by Bonnie Rollins who helps run Carousel Acres in South Lyon.

Now it’s time for you - our readers - to nominate those individuals you think should be considered for this year’s honor. The goal of the award is to shine a light on community P service done by the many volunteers in Livingston County. To help that process along, the award carries with it a $1,000 donation from The Livingston Community News that is given to the winner’s selected RICK FITZGERALD The Livingston Community News charity. Over the first two years, readers have nominated about two dozen different individuals. Our first winner was Julie Harris, the former volunteer director of the Gleaners Shared Harvest Pantry. Last year, we honored Brent Earl, whose tireless efforts on behalf of The Opera House led to the renovation of the first floor of the facility in downtown Howell. This year’s winner and finalists will be featured in The Livingston Community News early in 2009. Before we get to that point, we need your help in bringing forward this year’s nominees. Who do you know who has stepped up and delivered on a community project this year? Who do you know who has said “yes” over and over again when asked to help? Just about any adult in the county is eligible for the honor. Those not eligible are public officials, elected officials and those whose contributions are a part of their jobs. We’re looldng for people who have done something particularly noteworthy during the course of the past year. Anyone is welcome to submit a nomination. We just ask that you provide us with the basic information and a brief commentary explaining why your nominee should be the 2008 Livingston Citizen of the Year. Among those recognized last year was a tireless booster for Pinckney Community Schools, a dedicated volunteer who helps preserve local history, and someone who has committed more than a quartercentury to local Girl Scouts. Hundreds of people visit Brighton's Church of Christ on Rickett Road everyTuesday from 3 to 4:30 p.m. to get free ciothing and househoid items that have been donated. It is one of many churches that offer ministries to residents in need.

Help sought for rent, utilities, food and other basics BY USA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News The economic crisis that has gripped the nation is changing the face of those in need in Livingston County, say those who work to meet that growing need. 'The typical county resident who reaches out for help is “a 30-year-old white woman, whose wages have b ^ n cut or who is unemployed,” explains Erika Karfonta, director of Livingston County Services for the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency. But, she says, that profile is starting to change with an increasing number of men in their 30s and 40s, those who own their own homes or rent homes and those who have higher levels of education. People, Karfonta says, “who would never have considered themselves poor.” Statistics bear out that increasing and changing need: ■ An estimated 9,300 individuals are living in poverty in Livingston County. ■ The number of meals provided by Gleaners Community Pood Bank in Livingston County during the month of October was up 84.5 percent over the same month a year ago. ■ The number of people seeking food assistance at the Fhmily Impact Center in Powlervifie during October was up 25 percent over the month before. ■ The number of residents seeking help paying utility bills is up 13 percent so far this year over last year, which was up 26 percent from the year before. According to Nancy Rosso, executive director for the Livingston County United Way, 40 percent of the calls coming into 2-1-1 regional referral systems are pleas for help with basic needs. 'The most calls for help are for rent payment assistance, paying gas and electric bills, legal assistance, and for food. New programs To help meet that growing and changing need at least two new programs are at work in Livingston County this year. For the first time, the state added Livingston County to its Homeless Assistance Recovery Program. OLHSA, which administers the program, has given 92 qualifying families vouchers worth $194,000 in rent payments. “It’s ongoing rental assistance targeted for homeless people or people doubled up with another family, who don’t have their own housing,” explains Beverly Mostowy, deputy director for Livingston County Services at OLHSA. She says 82 of those 92 families who received the vouchers have moved into housing. Mostowy says OLHSA also has been getting requests for emergency services from more than 600 families a month.

Another new program is designed to provide emergency auto repairs. It is funded by the Livingston County United Way and administered by First National Bank of Howell. The United Way started a specific fund for auto repairs in March with $20,000. After assistance for 29 people exhausted that money, another $20,000 was put into the program. “In this county, you have to have a car,” says Carol Czekaj, a vice president at First National Bank “Agencies collect information fir)m an applicant and fax the forms to us, and we issue a check to a mechanic.” “Because of the winter weather, we’re seeing more people coming in with automobile needs,” she says. “People don’t have the money to maintain their cars and run into needs like batteries and tires.” Need for food grows The numbers tell the story at the Gleaners Community Food Bank in Livingston County where last month 107,000 meals were provided to local residents, nearly double the number fixim that same period a year ago. Gleaners has seen a 28 percent increase in the number of households served through the food pantry and commodity programs in the coimty. ‘"The face of hunger is our neighbors,” says Mike McDonald, Gleaners’ director of operations. “It’s the working poor or the folks who have just lost their jobs or those who have suffered an economic downturn. It’s the folks who need a little bit of help to get back on their feet.” McDonald says the average client comes to the Shared Harvest Pantry for four visits, which offers just enough help for them to get back on their feet agaia While early winter is the busy season for Gleaners, “hunger knows no season, McDonald says. “It’s a year-round epidemic, and I want to encourage people in Livingston County to take that energy they have to give during the holidays and extend it year round. We continue to need volunteers to help stock .shelves and sort products.” 'Survival mode' Things were relatively quiet at the Salvation Army of Livingston County until a few weeks ago. “People are only thinking about ^0 weeks in advance” says Salvation Army Captain Jenny Ortman. “They’ve moved into survival mode more than living mode.” Ortman says that so far, the local Salvation Army has been able to keep up with demand such as helping people pay for utilities and find shelter through the rotating church outreach program. The Salvation Army offers assistance with clothing, furniture, food, prescriptions, housing and utilities. But she recommends that anyone seeking help first sign up with the state Department of Human Services. Now she says the Salvation Army needs volunteers to help with its Red Kettle fundraising drive and to adopt families for Christmas.

TO Y S F R O M A 5 Libraries will also benefit need our help this year.” This is the 13th year Borek Jennings has led the drive, which also benefits local public libraries. Libraries in Howell, Brighton, Pinckney and Fowler^e and Hamburg, Hartland and Northfield townships all receive money for each toy placed in one of Borek Jennings’ collection boxes. Money ^so is contributed to an endowment fund to support the libraries in the future. “We believe this doubles the charity - first for the child and then for the library that same child can use,” Borek said. Last year’s drive brought in about 3,700 toys, which was down from years past, Borek said.“Our donations are falling just as the need is spiking,” said Arvid Northrop, managing partner of Borek Jennings’ Howell chapel. 'Toys collected in the campaign join those collected elsewhere by the Marine Corps League of Livingston County. They are distributed to area families by the Livingston County Salvation Army. Toys collected in Northfield Township are distributed by Northfield Human Services. “Because the need is so high this year, it’s really important that the families who need our toys contact these agencies as soon as possible,” Northrop said. Reach The Salvation Aj'my in Howell at 517- 546-4750 and Northfield Human Services at 734-449-0110. Any business, organization, church, office or family that f has a holiday party at which toys are brought as donations for "Ibys For 'Ibts can contact the Borek Jennings Hamburg Chapel at 810-231-0200 to make arrangements for pickup or delivery. g Borek Jennings also accepts ^ cash donations. Cash or checks, made out to Borek Jennings Library Fbnd, can be dropped off or mailed to any Borek Jennings Rmeral Homes location. Money collected is used to purchase toys. “We get toys dropped off all year long and we are grateful for every one, whether it’s July or November,” Borek said. “We never refuse a toy that makes it to our doors because we know how much they mean for neerty families on Christmas morning.” Leanne Smith can be reached at ismith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com ^ or at 810-844-2011.

Just two days after the Hartland football team lost to Rockford in the regional semifinals Nov. 15, some of those same football standouts were at basketball tryouts. Hartland boys basketball coach Frank Leppek was inspired by how quickly seniors like Chris Cagle, Jon Stevens and Vonn Jones switched gears. “I asked them if they needed any rest, and Chris Cagle was like ‘Coach, it is basketball season. We have got to play. We’re here.’ I liked that.” The Eagles (12-9) are loaded with talent, but Brighton proved during last year’s post-season nm to the regional finals that the Bulldogs can compete with anybody. Those two teams will likely duke it out for the first west division title of the new Kensington Lakes Activities Association. Here’s a look at the upcoming season for the seven area boys basketball programs: -igh! Buj(llddcogs Key players: Bryan BoUin (jr. forward). Jackson Armstrong (jr. Howell point guard), Benvarsity nett Estey (sr. F). basketball Comment: The coach Bob Bulldogs (11-13) Lees. have six seniors, but it is the explosive talents of Bollin and Armstrong who will drive this group. Coach Mike Griest said his team is a little faster and stronger than a year ago. He said last year’s surprising post-season nm gave the team “mental momentum” that carried over into the summer. “I have seen it (more momentum) in the preseason already,” he said. “I have great expectations because of where we went to last year.” Hartland Eagles Key players: Jones (sr. G), Stevens (sr. F), Cagle (sr. G), Matt Poches (so. F). Comment: Already stacked with four returning starters, the Eagles received a boost when senior point guard Zack Kaul transferred home after two years playing in California. For the first time, Leppek kept 15 players on his roster (up from 12) so he could use the extra bodies for more up-tempo practices. How much energy the Eagles commit to defense could define their season. “We’ve got size, talent and a lot of seniors,” Leppek said. “Seniors mean a lot.” Howell Highlanders Key players: lyier Hughes (jr. G), Dan Fbndriest (sr. F), Kyle Garra (sr.), Nate Riffle (jr. G), Josh Lees (jr. G). Comment: New coach Bob Lees, a veteran coach who was worked at the college level at Oakland University and at the prep level at Birmingham Seaholm, hopes to rebuild the program from the ground up. According to Lees, the Highlanders were 0-61 last year at the freshman, S E E BOYS, 8 2 Howell coach pushes girls in new season Highlanders, Bulldogs, Lions all contenders for titles in new KLAA this year BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News Tricia Clark let her players have it. She wasn’t happy with the collective effort of her Howell girls basketball team at a practice last week. “Do not come to practice half-hearted,” she said emphatically, with her voice rising with every word. “If you don’t want to be here, get out of the gym.” Clark is riding her team for a reason. She believes they have a ton of potential. Her Highlanders (9-12) should be much-improved in her second year. The problem is so will Brighton and South Lyon, two other contenders for division titles within the new Kensington Lakes Activities Association. Here’s a look at the upcoming season for the seven area girls basketball programs: Brighton Bulldogs Key players: Kirsten 'Tripp (jr. point guard), Dayna Modryzinski (sr. forward), Morgan Albert (sr. G), Kelly Cieslak (sr. F) Comment: The Bulldogs (19-5) welcome back four starters (listed above) from a team that lost in overtime of the regional finals. Coach Jason Piepho has perhaps his best team yet. Seniors Jill Nichols and Jenni Lane and junior Angela Bisaro will all contribute. Piepho has prepared a tough schedule to test his Bulldogs. “'This is the most athletic team I’ve had the opportunity to coach,” he said. “They have a lot of potential.” Hartland Eagles Key players: Meredith Kussmaul (sr.

Bulldog swimmers earn 5th-place, record finish Flu symptoms keep star senior Marybeth Hall from top spot BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News A spectacular effort by the Brighton swimming team at the Division I state and diving state finals last weekend helped to offset the disappointment of another near-miss for Brighton’s star senior Marybeth Hall. Hall led the Bulldogs to a school-record fifth place finish at Eastern Michigan University Nov. 22. The Bulldogs scored 126 points, with South Lyon in 10th (107 points) and Hartland tied for 32nd (6 points). Hall was third in the 200- yard individual medley and second in the 100 butterfly - the sixth time in three years she had to settle for second or third in her signature events. Hall also helped two Brighton relays earn all-state times: The 200 medley relay was fifth and the 400 freestyle relay eighth. Hall, who is considering swimming at the University of Michigan, Stanford, Harvard or Northwestern, said she never recovered from the flu-like symptoms she suffered the weekend prior to the meet. “One of my goals was to win a state title,” Hall said. “I got sick, and it ciidn’t work out. It’s OK. My career is not over. I’ll move on to bigger and better things, m get first next time.” Area swimmers dominated the butterfly, with Hall in second, South Lyon sophomore Paige Drazga third and Brighton sophomore Morgan Zebley fifth. Drazga also was fifth in the 50 free, ahead of senior teammate Jenna Faletti (10th) and Brighton junior Hayley Johnson (13th). Faletti was all-state in the 100 breaststroke by placing sixth. She and Drazga spearheaded two South Lyon allstate relays: the 200 medley ELIYAHU GURFINKEUTHE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEVB Brighton's Marybeth Hall swims toward first place in the last heat of the 200IM race during the Division I state meet preliminaries at Eastern Michigan last Friday, Nov. 21.

Hughes led the varsity (0-21) in scoring and rebounding. “We need to be more competitive, more intense, more focused,” Lees said. Pinckney Pirates Key players: David Tori (sr. G), Dylan Graves (jr. F), D.J. Cody (sr. G), Derek Kroeger (sr. G), Matt Rudy (sr. G). Comment: Coach Tom Reason admits this team might not be as talented as last year’s group that started 9-0 before injuries derailed a season that ended with a 14-6 record. The Pirates hope to make up for that deficit with their brains. “We are a smarter team,” he said. “To steal a quote from Bobby Knight, I’ll t^ e smart over speed any time.” He likes his team’s tenacity and effort. “A couple guys are workhorses,” he said. South Lyon Lions Key players: Mike Fenner (jr. G), Jonlan Short (jr. G), Justin Hartman (sr. F), Eric Wedeslg^ (sr. C). Comment; New coach Doug Host welcomes back six players with starting experience, which should help the Lions (11-10) make a smooth transition to his coaching style. Seniors Chance Bennett, AJ Thweatt and George Wellmer will be in the mix for playing time. “We have the talent to be very competitive to do great things,” Host said. “My biggest concern is how much our guys want to bring it in practice on a daily basis. That will be the measuring stick for us.” Fowlerville Gladiators Key players: Chris Williamson (sr. G), Nate Ross (sr. G-F), Ryan Deane (sr. F). Comment; The Gladiators (18-5) graduated ail five starters from a team that won a second straight district championship. Coach Fred Hackett believes his group is good enough to “not miss a beat.” Juniors Zach Wedeskey and 6-foot-6 forward Jordan Gorshe will play key roles. “We may surprise some teams who say we lost everybody,” Hackett said. “This team will make an identity of its own. We are going to be competitive every time we step on the floor.” Whitmore Lake Trojans Key players: Ryan Foster (sr. G), Alex Cattley (sr. F), Colton Judge (jr. G), Chase St. Charles (jr. G), Tommy Strautz (sr. F). Comment: The Ti'ojans (7-13) averaged 77 points per game after Christmas last season when they switched to the frenetic, shoot-fi’om-anywhere style of play made famous by tiny Grinnell College of Iowa. In this system, coach Dave Arnold rotates two groups of five players every 45 seconds to keep his players fresh. Sbc-foot-nine senior Alex Keely could be the tallest player in school history. The 'Trojans hope to get John Los back in January ^ m a leg injury he suffered in football. “We’ve got 15 kids, (and) all of them are going to play,” Arnold said. “They all make major contributions to what we do.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynews.com orat8i0-844-20i2. G IR L S F R O M B1 Eagles ramp up team's defensive pressure Shelby Maggert (jr. F), Ja mie Leasia (jr. G), Bailee Maggert (fr. PG). Comment: The Eagles ISIS) return eight players, including three with starting experience. Kussmaul, who is being recruited by several Division 3 colleges, will likely be the Eagles’ top scorer and rebounder again. Coach Brian Ives said the Eagles are working on cranking up their defensive pressure. “We had a great offseason. We are ahead of last year,” he said. Howell Highlanders Key players: Charlie French (sr. G), Nikki Gunning (jr. G), Megan Hatter (jr. F), Jenna Birch (jr. G), Lauren Rhoads (jr. G). Comment: It took a year for the Highlanders to adjust to Clark’s run-and-gun style, but the Highlanders might be ready to win again. French, Gunning and Hatter are in their third year on varsity, but the Highlanders are still young with just three seniors. “Our nucleus has plenty of experience,” Clark said. “We’ll learn. We’ll have letdowns, but we might shock a few people.” Pinckney Pirates Key players; Jen Poelstra (sr. PF), Alyse Lefebvre (sr. G-F), Maura Sullivan (so. G), Jen Lucas (so. PG), Megan Duke (so. G), Kirstyn Hine (so. F). Comment: New coach Jim Anttila, a former longtime Pirate assistant boys coach who led the Hartland varsity girls team for a season in 2006, will greatly miss star Morgan Hughes, now playing at Saginaw Valley State University. The Pirates must instead rely on six sophomores to complement four seniors. Anttila will emphasize tough defense. “We are looking to build a team,” he said. “We are hoping to be much better at the end of the season than the beginning. We want to improve each week and be competitive.” South Lyon Lions Key players: Danielle Gotham (sr. center), Amanda Thomas (sr. F), Kristin Short (so. G), Kesley Kaminsky (sr. G-F), Courtney Harrison (so. PG). Comment; The Lions (14- 10) return all five starters, but graduated their three top subs from a team that won the school’s first district title in a decade. All that experience doesn’t guarantee a title in the KLAA’s central division, where rival Novi and powerhouse Plymouth Salem (20- 3 last year) reside. Junior guard-forward Jenny Maslany and freshman guard Gabrielle Williams add depth. Gotham was among the leaders in the old Kensington Valley Conference in scoring (11.9 points), rebounding (9.8) and blocks (3.0) per game. “Half of us know exactly what to do and half of us are still learning,” coach Erica Thomas said. “We still have to find that emotional leadership that we got last year.” Fowlerville Gladiators Key players: Sam Van Gilder (sr. F), Amanda Ackerman (sr. G), Audrey Elzerman (sr. F). Comment: New coach Mary Vielbig, who played basketball at Michigan State University in the early 1980s and previously has coached at Lansing Community College and Northwood University, hopes to revive a sputtering program that went 3-19 last year. “People I talk to think we can win 10 games,” she said. “I don’t want to put the standard too high or too low. We will do well. We will compete.” Whitmore Lake Trojans Key players: Erica Jackson (sr. F), Julie Jackson (sr. F), Abbey Flores (so. G), Alyssa Clare (jr. G). Comment: New coach Casey Livingston, a teacher in the district who played basketball at Concordia College in Ann Arbor, has three seniors and 10 juniors to build around. He hopes to improve upon last year’s 3- 19 mark. “I don’t want to take steps back,” he said. “We want to grow and improve.” Jason Deegan can be reached at jdeegan® iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2012.

Jeff and Cindy Bochenek of Brighton Township have figured it out. The proof is in the actions of their 11-year-old daughter, Stephanie. The sixth-grader at Holy Spirit Roman Catholic School is crusading for clothes to benefit orphaned children in Poland. Her mission began with a letter of request in the schoolwide publication in early November and will end when the children break for Christmas Dec. 19. “I think I’m doing pretty good so far,” says Stephanie, who shared her person^ quest with classmates and their families this year to increase dona- SEE HELPING, A4 ANGELA SPOONER, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Stephanie Bochenek of Brighton Township with some of the many bags of clothing and other items she has collected for orphaned children in Poland.

Pinckney maintains its sma ll-tow n pleasantries The Pinckney downtown business district has a good mix of businesses, and this year has put up new banners and holiday lighting to help encourage residents to shop locally. PHOTOS; ELIYAHU GUREINKEL, THE LIVINGSTON c o m m u n it y NEWS B u s in e s s d is t r ic t r e m a in s h e a lt h y Reasonable rents, loyal customer base credited with keeping places busy BY CASEY HANS The Livingston Community News Downtown Pinckney is as healthy a small business district as can be found in today’s tough economy. Storefronts are nearly full with a mbc of everything from a bicycle shop and bakery to a family owned hardware store, quilt shop and pilates exercise studio. Businesses often will set up shop in this small, rural village then move into prime Main Street spaces or larger spaces as they become available. “That’s the story of Pinckney - everybody moves around,” said Rebecca Foster, president of the Pinckney Village Council. Foster said the key to keeping storefronts full is reasonable rents (“there’s not a big disparity,” she said) as well as a faithful, local customer base that patronizes the shops from the village and surrounding areas. Pinckney Hardware is one of the larger businesses downtown.

The diner, opened by the Stamatopoulos family, is located at 150 S. Howell St. New Pinckney Diner proves to be a hit Stamatopoulos family eatery has quickly fit in with sense of community BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News It wasn’t a big downtown, a mall or even a major highway that lured the Stamatopoulos family to open its newest restaurant. It was a well-used family park, a strong sense of community and the friendly people that reminded them of their small hometown in Greece. “Pinckney is a good area with a nice downtown and good people,” said Bobby Stamatopoulos. “People care about the town.” The Pinckney Diner at 150 S. Howell St. that Bobby Stamatopoulos opened last July with his brother, Nikos, and sister, Eleni Zavradinos, has quickly fit in as the village’s hot spot for dining out. “I’ve been here at least 15 times since it opened, and I’ve never had a bad meal,” said Fred Berry of Portage Lake, who recently took his wife, Joanne, to breakfast there. “It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to Pinckney,” Joanne Berry agreed. “We’ve been here for 50 years, SEE DINER, A4 www.mlive.com/livingstoncommunitynews D r iv e r s t o f e e l c u t s in b u d g e t Less salting, plowing on some state roads BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News Some major state roads in Livingston County will get less frequent attention this winter due to the state budget crunch, and that means motorists will have, to adjust their driving habits in response to road and weather conditions. In a money-saving move, the Michigan Department of Transportation is reducing overtime hours for plowing and salting some secondary state roadways this season including roads such as M- 36, M-59 and M-155. Major freeways will still be a priority, officials said. “Rising costs and limited revenues (are) forcing us to change the way we handle maintenance operations,” said state Transportation Director Kirk Steudle. Livingston County Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine said his crews will plow and salt local roads as usual, with no reduction in winter maintenance operations. “(The MDOT overtime reduction measures) don’t affect us,” Craine said. MDOT designates state highways as “priority service level 1” or “priority service level 2.” Priority 1 highways in Livingston County include W h a t d o y o u thin k? What are your thoughts about winter driving and what Livingston County faces in the coming cold months? Offer your opinion at mlive.com/livingston communitynews miive .c om 1-96, US-23 and M-59 east of US-23. For the 2008-09 winter season, priority 1 highways will be cleared of snow and ice during and after snow storms, with overtime allowed as needed. Drivers on these routes may expect the same level of service as in past years, said MDOT University Region spokeswoman Kari Arend. Affected by the cuts this year are priority 2 highways including M-36, M-59 from 1-96 to US-23, Grand River ( 1-96 business route) from the Lake Chemung exit to M-59, and M-155, southwest of Howell. That’s a change from last year, when M-36 from Pinclmey to US-23 and M-59 from Howell to US-23 were all priority 1 roads. On priority 2 roads, one tire track in each direction will be cleared of snow and ice by the end of a snow SEE ROADS, A4 2n d susp e ct in be a t in g o f elderly veteran is charged Man turns himself in to police; later released on bond BY SUSAN L. OPPAT AND LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News The second suspect sought for weeks in the savage beating of an 83-year-old World War II veteran in his Genoa Township home walked into a State Police post just before authorities planned to arrest him earlier this week. Within hours TUesday he had been arraigned on multuple felony charges and was back on the street after a bail bondsman paid $100,000 to post 10 percent of his $1 million bond. Noah Richard Lovell III, 31, turned himself in with his attorney George Michaels, shortly after 1 p.m. Less than two hours later, the Plainwell resident was arraigned in 53rd District Court in Howell. He was released from the Livingston County Jail just before 8 p.m. Lovell is charged with torture, armed robbery, unlawful imprisonment and first-degree home invasion. “I think he is a threat. I think he is a flight risk. ... He took great advantage of an elderly man and left him there to die,” Judge Suzanne Geddis said in ordering the high bond. John “Jack” Pickett was beaten and bound with duct tape in his Genoa Township basement Oct. 29 by a man who claimed to be with the “power company,” while another man searched his house for money. Pickett, who refused to tell the men where any money was in his home, suffered multiple facial fractures during the 90- minute beating. He continues to recover at a rehabilitation facility in Ann Arbor. Michaels unsuccessfully urged the judge to reduce the bond, suggesting the $1 million figure had more to do with emotion than facts. He indicated his client was not involved with the beating. It’s not clear how or why Pickett was targeted, but State Police Sgt.

ANGELA SPOONER, THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF B o a r d v o t e s t o u p h o l d s a l a r i e s Hamburg Township B o a r d a d j u s t s m e e t i n g s c h e d u l e Hamburg 'Township’s Board of 'Trustees has changed its regular meeting schedule. Unless otherwise noted, board meetings will now take place at 2:30 p.m. the first Thursday of each month and at 7 p.m. the second 'Tuesday of each month in Township Hall, 10405 Merrill Road. The afternoon meetings are an attempt to boost involvement of township staff at meetings, Hohl said. The exceptions to this schedule are a 2:30 p.m. meeting today to accommodate a scheduling conflict and a 2:30 p.m. meeting 'Tuesday, Jan. 6 to accommodate the New Year’s Day holiday. Hamburg Township’s new Board of 'Trustees has voted to uphold the elected officials’ salaries that were set in 2006 and have been frozen by board vote since then. The annual salaries of Supervisor Pat Hohl and Clerk Matt Skiba, the township’s two full-time elected officials, are $54,000 each. Part-time 'Treasurer Patrick Evon will receive $23,000 a year and Trustees Mike Dolan, Bill Hahn, Chuck Menzies and Phil Semprevivo will each get $6,000 a year, plus $65 per meeting attended. The board also approved paying Deputy 'Treasurer Julie Hardesty the $52,674 annual salary set earlier this month by the outgoing board. Evon announced after his Nov. 20 swearing in that he would be keeping Hardesty as his deputy.

It's a Hilton Hotel In a Nov. 28 story about the economic boost given to Livingston County businesses from the filming of the movie “High School” in the Howell area, Homewood Suites in Brighton should have been identified as a Hilton Hotels property. y a 'j ; .T R ec d ire c to r g e ts g o o d re v ie w « 3% raise give n by Howell a u th o rity board BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News Much like preparing a lovingly cooked meal, Debbie Mikula was free to mix in her own ingredients for a successful Howell Area Parks and Recreation Department as the group’s first director. But there were always some core components called for in the overall recipe. Her blend has paid off, earning her a favorable annual review from the recreation group’s board of directors and a 3 percent raise retroactive to July 1, bringing her salary to $63,463. “Business, fundraising and communications... in my mind this was no different than (working in) arts and culture” said Milkula, who spent more than 20 years advocating for the arts at state and national levels. She began in Howell Sept. 24,2007. The 48-year-old Howell resident does not have a background in recreation, but was not held back by it. “I knew what I was getting into,” she said. “I’ve watched (Howell recreation) for years, seen every up and every down, and I know my capabilities. What I’m really good at is startup organizations, and that is what this IS.' “Debbie exceeded our expectations for our first year as an independent board (the group separated finm the city of Howell last July 1,)” said Steve Manor, secretary of the recreation board. “She has guided the department, expanded programs and is trying to appeal to a broader audience, all with less (financial) resoiu'ces.” Rinding for the recreation group was cut about $300,000 when the authority stepped out on its own. Operating on a $760,000 budget, Mikula and her staff, three full-time and 13 part-time employees, supervise a senior and teen center, offer sports and leisure classes, day camps, preschool and more. Just this year, the group added more community feature events including a Classic Film Series and 'Rvilight Tours of Lakeview Cemetery. “Our participation numbers are higher than they’ve ever been,” said Mikula. “She has done a tremendous job getting (the media) to cover the events,” said Paula Wyekoff, recreation board treasurer, “but what really impressed me as treasurer... I look at all the money she’s lost (becoming an independent organization) and still at the last meeting she said she thought she could pull enough money together to invest in a six-month CD at the bank.” Looking ahead, Mikula said the group will have to find secure fun^ng. The current system, annual contributions fixim the city of Howell and townships of Oceola, Genoa and Marion, requires her to appeal to the local units of government each year. That cannot be the basis for long-term recreation planning, she argues, if the group wants’to purchase land, build amenities and address programming needs identified in a recently completed fiveyear master plan.

THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Brighton Rotarians deliver holiday dinners The Brighton Rotary Club conducted its annual delivery of Thanksgiving meals to families in need in Livingston County on Wednesday, Nov. 26. This year, 120 families - 431 people - received fully cooked dinners including turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, a vegetable, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Above, Matt and Cathy Riesterer load meals into their car for delivery and Brynn Chesney, 9, of Brighton, below, helps carry a meal that has been packed into bags for easy transport. The Rotarians worked with the Salvation Army, St. Vincent OePaul and the Brighton Area Schools in the annual effort. Crystal Gardens also assisted by preparing the meals. i County board trims budget, makes cuts BY TOM TOLEN The Livingston Community News In a reflection of the economic times, the Livingston County Board of Commissioners this week adopted a lean, $44.7 million spending plan for next year that is 1.5 percent less than the 2008 budget, which was less than 2007. The budget includes acrossthe- board reductions in each department and continues the hiring freeze imposed last year. With projected revenues totaling $46.3 million, the board hopes to add $1 million to its projected, end-of-year fund balance of $15.6 million. County Finance Officer Belinda Peters said the big surplus may give the impression that the county has plenty of money. But she said it is essentiffi to maintaining county services. “It sounds like a lot of money, but we need it for cash flow,” Peters said. The problem is that the county levies it’s millage in July, and tax revenues don’t arrive until three-fourths of the fiscal year is over. Without the fund balance, the county would have to borrow millions and pay interest. For 2009, the board “requested” that all department heads reduce their 2009 budget by 5.4 percent for services mandated by the state and 7 percent for non-mandated services. The reason is that revenues are projected to decline 3.6 percent in 2009. Board Chairman Bill Rogers said the tight 2009 spending plan doesn’t mean the county is in financial difficulty. “We just don’t want (spending) to get out ofhand,” hesaid. Rogers emphasized that Livingston County has the lowest millage rate (3.39 mills) of any of the state’s 83 counties, and the board wants to keep it that way. “We could increase a lot of things, but the only way to do that is to raise taxes,” he said. A disagreement between Local tree “farm ers reporting *good sales One local seller of Christmas trees says weekend was 'busiest ever' BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News Area retailers are not the only ones claiming victory after a successful weekend of holiday sales. Local tree farmers report the $41 million annual Christmas tree sales season •began with a boom. Lou Waldock, owner of Waldock Tree Farm in Iosco Township, sold about 600 trees. “This was the busiest Thanksgiving weekend ever,” he said. “But because ^Thanksgiving is so late this ^year, we need to do this good next weekend, too” to meet annual sales goals. Waldock is one of about 20 Christmas tree farm operators in Washtenaw and Livingston counties. His trees, more than 3,500 tagged for sale this year, reach 14 feet and represent 11 species. Prices start at $40. The benefits of buying a real Christmas tree instead of an artificial one are many, said Marsha Gray, executive director of the Michigan Christmas Tree Association. “Instead of getting that plastic thing out of the at- (tic , which is made overseas, buy real,” she said. “It helps support our local farmers, is better for the environment and builds a family tradition.” Waldock Tree Farm is a “U-cut” operation, meaning shoppers pick up a map Phnd saw on their way out to the fields. Cut trees are collected from the fields, shaken, wrapped and drilled for a pin-type stand. “Our goal is to make this LAURIE HUMPHREY.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Lou Waldock, owner of the Waldock Tree Farm in Iosco Township, and Marsha Gray, executive director of the Michigan Christmas Tree Association, drill a hole in the bottom of a live tree preparing it for a tree stand. Waldock said his farm had a big opening weekend. as easy as possible so the family can enjoy the tradition,” said Waldock. According to Michigan Department of Agriculture Deputy Director Gordon Wenk, more than 40,000 acres of land across the state are devoted to commercial Christmas tree production - making Michigan third in the nation for Christmas tree harvesting. The industry also generates an additional $1.3 million in sales of wreaths, cut boughs, garland and other cut greens. After the holidays, trees are often recycled to provide wood chips for nature paths, playgrounds and landscaping.

K e ep in g it fresh ■ Trees should have a fresh cut 1/4-inch up from the bottom of the trunk. ■ On the first day, the tree stand should be checked twice to make sure it's getting enough water. One check daily after that is fine, but the bottom of the trunk should be submerged. ■ Only tree stands with a 1 - 1/2-gallon capacity should be used. ■ Real trees will do better in a well-humidified house. Trees placed in dry houses lose more water in less time. ■ Place trees away from heat sources such as registers, radiators and fireplaces. ■ If you're not going to immediately put the tree up, keep it in a cool shaded area, stored in a bucket of water. C o u n t y sa la r ie s Livingston County officials' salaries for 2009 and 2010, which include a 2 percent increase for 2009 and no increase for 2010: ■ Administrator Bob Block: $152,229 ■ Clerk Margaret Dunleavy: $91,338 ■ Drain Commissioner Brian Jonckheere: $85,120 ■ Prosecutor David Morse: $131,152 ■ Register of Deeds Sally Reynolds: $85,484 ■ Sheriff Bob Bezotte: $111,246 ■ Treasurer Dianne Hardy: $84,716 the board and county judges over the proposed budget centered around the “ambiguity” of some terms such as fees, the resolution stating judges must review departmental fees and justify any fee increases to the board. “The language could be innocuous and harmless, but is ambiguous,” Circuit Judge David Reader, a former county board member, told commissioners. The board, in response to county attorney Peter Cohl’s recommendations, made changes to the budget resolution in response to the judges’ concerns. 'The sheriff’s department has largest budget of any county department, totaling $15.1 million for next year, a $1.5 million reduction from this year. The biggest down side to the cuts: “We’re not going to replace those (eliminated or unfilled) positions, so that’s going to mean a reduction in services,” Bezotte said. Fewer road patrol deputies means less enforcement and longer response times on accidents and crimes, the sheriff said.

While those roads will be passable, they may not be clear of snow and ice until the snow storm has passed, in order to save on overtime costs, Arend said. “(The change) means slow down, plan extra time because you might not see the same conditions as in the past,” Arend said. The winter budget reduction will not necessarily mean there would be no overtime hours allowed on priority 2 highways, Arend said. “If we get another storm (on top of a snow event) or a re-freeze, we’d bring crews back out, even if it means overtime,” she said. The MDOT winter maintenance reductions also will affect some major streets in the city of Howell. According to Deputy City Manager Terry Wilson, the cutbacks will adversely affect the Grand River Avenue 1-96 business loop. South Michigan Avenue from Grand River to Mason Road and Mason Road to the west city limits. “City crews are not planning to pick up the slack,” Wilson said, adding that spending more to plug that gap “would be up to City Council.” Wilson assures residents that the city “will continue to provide same level of service (on non-state routes),” with Michigan Avenue, Highlander Way, Byron, Riddle and Fowler getting top priority, followed by subdivision streets. The MDOT reductions will not affect the city of Brighton. “(Snow and ice removal) will remain at the same level of service as in past years, but it will be more costly to the city’s taxpayers because of increased fuel and other costs,” said City Manager Dana Foster. Also, no state routes go through town, and, unlike Howell, Grand River Avenue is not an 1-96 business route in Brighton, Foster said. Craine said although the area has received more wintry weather than usual for this time of year, it doesn’t necessarily mean we’re in for a severe winter with lots of snow. “It’s early to get this much snow and cold, but it’s pretty hard to (predict),” he said. Last year, the road commission spent $2.5 million salting and plowing county roads, an all-time record. Contrary to rumor, Craine said there is plenty of road salt, but the price is up 30 percent from last year. The road commission stores 4.000 tons of salt at its headquarters in Genoa Township, good for only part of the winter. “We typically use 16,000- 17.000 tons, Craine said.

D IN E R FROM A1 Feeding people is part of family's roots and there’s never been a place here with this kind of appeal.” The appeal, the Berrys agree, is the huge menu that features Greek specialties, including gyros and spinach and cheese pie, pastas, seafood, stir fry, salads, coney dogs, wraps, burgers and sandwiches. The breakfast menu features omelets and skillets along with pancakes and French toast. Those with a hankering for a burger can have them made &Dm buffalo meat raised at Kevin and Renee MacRitchie’s nearby TMZ Rirm. “We want to help our neighbors,” Bobby St^atopoulos said. “That’s all part of being part of a small town.” Besides the Pinckney Diner, the family also owns and operates Alpha Coney Island restaurants in Dexter and Jackson and City Limits Pancake Houses in Saline and Tecumseh. Feeding people is in the Stamatopoulos family’s roots, which are deep in the ancient Greek village of Hristianou - population 350 - about 45 minutes from Kalamata. Six siblings grew up in the family business, which includes a small restaurant, store and large farm of olives, grapes and vegetables that is still run by the parents and some of the children. “We have a close family with a house full of people ^ the time and big meals,” said Zavradinos. “We grew up feeding people. It’s what we know.” Members of the Stamatopoulos family came to America in 1969. The first restaurant they opened was the Boulevard Cafe in Detroit, followed by Brothers 4 in Ypsilanti and the Grecian Cafe in Plymouth. “We operate on one principle,” Bobby Stamatopoulos said. “Do the right thing, don’t rip people off, give people the best product you can m ^ e and have good service. Come in once, and you will come back again.” Everything at the Pinckney Diner is homemade. Meals range from $4 to $12. Winter hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday- Thursday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.

P IN C K N E Y FROM A1 New signs 'Pinckneyesque' MacRitchie said there’s always free coffee and sometimes a pot of chili going in the back. “People come in and just hang out. We love it,” he said. He said downtown businesses work well together and tiy to bring in what customers want to keep them coming to town. For example, with the closing of local lumber yards, he said, they now carry convenience lumber. “We have to work very hard to remind people downtown Pinckney exists,” he added. “It is not on most people's driving path.” Carousel Floral & Gifts owner Deby Henneman said her bread-and-butter business of weddings, funerals and parties keep her going in this tough economic climate. Henneman keeps in touch with her customers by doing weekly drawings for a floral display that she designs and delivers personally. Most Pinckney merchants take care to coordinate what they sell, she said. “We try to fill in and complement each other,” she said, “lb be sure you’re not competing with your neighbor. That’s important. We share the same customers.” A newer shop is Tina Parks’ Pet Stop Boutique, where she sells gourmet pet treats, toys and apparel, “I absolutely love it,” she said. “It’s been a lot of fun. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” In the past seven months, she has had dog and cat owners visit, but also has seen some unique pets, including a 178-pound tortoise, a flying squirrel and a pet chinchilla. With a background in retailing. Parks said she has tried to be smart during her first business year. “It’s all about managing your money and managing your store properly,” she said. “I do what I can to keep the prices down.” One shop on the main drag. Mainly Chocolate and Coffee Cafe on Main Street, closed last week, but not due to a lack of business, said owner Ann Dubay. The four-year-old shop held its own, she said, but long hours, health issues and other family financial considerations have taken their toll. “I thought I would be the one that would be here for years and years,” she said during one of her final days in business. “But I have to make the decision that is right for me.” The Pinckney Downtown Development Authority has served as a catalyst for the village, having completed a streetscape project in 2003-04 that has “made the downtown more walkable and appealing,” Foster said. The DDA board now is working on a parking improvement program that will add parking on the north side of Main Street and update parking throughout the DDA district in 2009-10. DDA President Mary Jo Cartwright said the DDA also has other plans to keep the area strong. Unique, carved directional signs are in the final approval stage that “will have a village feel. They’re very Pinckneyesque,” she said. The group also will continue a facade improvement program that helps residents or business owners improve their buildings. The budget allows for five to 10 projects each year. “It is a hard time,” added Cartwright, who is a property owner downtown. “But there’s a very active set of people making sure it is a delightful community. 1 do think there is a commitment of people who live and work in the area.” One of the efforts includes a D ow n tow n P in ck n e y b y th e n um b e r s ■ Size: 4 blocks. ■ Total businesses: 22. ■ Total residences: About 12 homes and apartments. ■ Roadways: State trunkline M-36 runs through town, also serving as the village's Main Street. North-south cross streets include Howell and Mill streets. ■ Historic buildings: Most commercial buildings and homes in Pinckney were built in the late 1800s, so much of the downtown is considered historic, although it is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places. ■ Properties for sale: 3. ■ Properties for lease: 2. ■ What's special: "I think it's the quintessential rural downtown. When you walk the two main blocks, it can take you two hours because everybody's talking. It's really friendly." - Rebecca Foster, Pinckney Village Council president. push this year to decorate big for the holidays. The Pinckney- Lakeland-Hamburg-Hell Division of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce paid for new banners and Putnam 'Township and the village DDA paid for additional seasonal lights to be put up just in time for Light Up the Park on Dec. 13. “It’s nice that our home has that holiday spirit,” Cartwright added. “The more attractive and pleasant the downtown is, the more inviting it will be to come in.” Reach Casey Hans at chans@ iivingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2005.

Riley, 37, of Port Clinton, Ohio, was arrested in a traffic stop last week in Gibbon, Neb. He remains in the Hall County Department of Corrections, but is expected to be returned to Livingston County. S te p h a n ie B o ch en e k ■ Age: 11. ■ Residence: Brighton Township. ■ Family: Dad, Jeff; mom, Cindy; 7 1/2-year-old brother, Michael. ■ Charitable group she'd like to help: Food for the Poor, a ministry that works to improve health, economic, social and spiritual conditions for residents in Latin America and the Caribbean. ■ Favorite class: Grammar. ■ Favorite author: Carolyn Keene, pseudonym for the author of Nancy Drew books. ■ Favorite movie: "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl." H E L P IN G FROM A1 Girl assists overseas tions. She has since collected about 25 pounds of kids clothing, shoes, toys and stuffed animals. Items will be distributed among five orphanages and Laski Hospital for Blind Children in conjunction with other items raised for the American Polish Assistance Organization. “We have so much here and there are kids out there who don’t even have moms and dads,” Stephanie says. “I just wanted to raise as much as I possibly could.” She left it up to donors to decide what and how much to give. If things continue as they have this year, Stephanie and her parents hope to expand the clothing drive to the church’s 400-family congregation next year. “We can’t cure the world, but if we can help just one person at a time ...,” says Jeff Bochenek. 'The family has long supported APAO efforts, donating gently- used clothing and toys, but the family connected with the beneficiaries a few years back when Jeff Bochenek’s brother looked into adopting three orphaned children from the area. “It’s nice to know (these donations) are going to children really in need,” says Cindy Bochenek. “There is need around here, of course, but over there it’s just a different level of poverty.” The bulk of the collection will benefit infants and fifthto eighth-grade girls, though there are some items for boys, too. Cindy Bochenek has a theory about the variety of donations. “It’s a small school, with only a few families (about 60 students), but many of them have a lot of kids, so just about every age is represented.” . Stephanie has seen her own clothing sent oversees, but the most meaningful donation took her treasured stuffed dwarfs fix)m the Snow White collection. “That was the hardest,” she says. “They were from my grandma.” “I am proud,” says Cindy Bochenek. “It’s important to help children understand that life is not about taking, but it’s (a hard lesson) to teach and hard for them to learn.” Items will be collected through Dec. 19 at Holy Spirit Roman Catholic School, 9565 Musch Road, Green Oak 'Township. Howell studies« housing, needs BY LAURIE HUMPHREY The Livingston Community News A series of neighborhood walkabouts by city officials this fall yielded more than just a plan for a citywide street improvement project. It pointed out a need for help to some area residents. “On the walkabouts, we started to pay more attention. You couldn’t help but notice that there were some bad looking rentals and single-family homes that need some help,” ^ said Howell City Manager Shea Charles. “The question we are trying to answer is ‘How do we facilitate assistance to that person.’” The first step toward formalizing a program is an initial survey. ^ Erin Perdu, from ENP & Associates, then will seek out possible state and federal grants for neighborhood rehabilitation projects, search for local funding solutions and look for partnering opportunities with nonprofit groups. The city will pay up to $7,000 for her services. Howell City Council members have long felt the city would benefit fix)m visually appealing and structurally sound neighborhoods, Charles believes the feasibility s tu ^ will “improve the quality of the housing stock, which will in turn increase housing values in the city.” ^ The plan is groundbreaking in Livingston County, and loosely based on programs successfully implemented across the state.

The kids? Mom and dad? Brothers and sisters? The neighbor who plows everyone’s sidewalks? Your mail carrier? Most of us have at least a handful of people on our lists. And I’m willing to bet most of us are a long way from completing our Christmas shopping, despite a strong start over the Thanksgiving weekend. I made a small contribution to the economy last weekend and I suspect many of you did, too. But as we all move ahead over the next 20 days to buy just the right presents for the important people in our lives, I want to suggest adding someone to each of our lists. How about picking up something for Jennifer Ortman, Patti Nowak or Beth Schrader? Jennifer Ortman is Capt. Jennifer Ortman of the Salvation Army of Livingston County. She’s not expecting earrings or a new set of sheets from any of us. But the Salvation Army could use nonperishable food items for its pantry, personal care items for clients, white copy paper to keep the office running smoothly and towels for use in the homeless shelter program. Patti Nowak is director of The Arc of Livingston, which serves clients with disabilities. She’s not expecting a new set of china from anyone, but The Arc sure could use a paper shredder, office supplies and gift cards to local restaurants or major retailers. Beth Schrader is director of the Howell Senior Center. She’s not looking for any of us to buy her large-screen plasma television, but the senior center could use some family- friendly DVDs, coffee supplies or even some additional bookcases. All of those agencies and many more are included in the United Way’s annual Wish Book, a Christmas list of sorts from United Way partner agencies in Livingston County. It’s another way of giving this holiday season. There’s no doubt they all could use our help. Agency directors report that the number of individuals and families in need is growing quickly in Livingston County as the stalling economy takes its toll. More people than ever are turning to the agencies for everything from food and clothing to rent assistance and emergency car repairs. Want to help the American Red Cross? Buy an extra box of copy paper the next time you are out and drop it off at the office in Howell. Want to lend a hand to the Brighton Senior Center? Buy an extra book of postage stamps when you mail your Christmas cards. Want to make a hit with the staff at the Connection Youth Services? Buy some movie passes for the Pinckneybased agency. You can get a more complete look at which agencies need what by visiting the United Way’s Web site (www. lcunitedway.org) or by picking up a copy of the booklet at the United Way offices, 2980 Dorr Road, between Brighton and Howell. Included are wishes for 24 individual agencies. So, don’t forget Jennifer, Patti or Beth when you are out shopping in the weeks ahead.

PHOTOS: JIM JAGDFELD, SPECIAL TO THE HEWS Senior Lauren Rill,17, works on Algebra in the Pinckney Community High School Distance Learning Lab. Students have many choices for classes not offered in traditional classrooms as part of the program. Pinckney Community High School distance learning instructor Dianna Behl enters attendance information for her class. Students work independently on a variety of different classes in the Distance Learning Lab. Technology allows classes not taught traditionally BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Garrett Miller is taking a Mandarin Chinese language class to boost his future career as a corporate lawyer. Chris Hartman is successfully making up incompletes in health and history so he can graduate with the rest of his class. For an hour a day, they share a classroom at Pinckney Community High School where all the students love working independently on computers to catch up, stay on target or get ahead. The Distance Learning Lab, said teacher Dianna Behl, is the first of its kind in Livingston County because its classes are part of the regular school day, not offered only after school. Because they meet requirements for dual enrollment, costs are covered by the school district and classes are free to the students. “I’m the only student taking Chinese,” said Miller, 18, a senior. “I’ve been told it could separate me from the crowd and make me more marketable. It would never be possible without this.” The lab also is ideal for Hartman, a 16-year-old junior, and about 56 other Pinckney High students who need to make up missed credits required for graduation by the Michigan Merit Curriculum. “I missed too many days, and there were too many distractions in the classroom,” Hartman said. “I didn’t want to have to take both my classes over again and fall even more behind. I’m doing them both at once here, and I’m doing pretty good at it.” In all, 91 sophomores, juniors and seniors are enrolled in this year’s pilot lab, which fills three of Pinckney High’s six hours of classes each day. Many students are taking more than one class at a time, Behl said. Besides helping students catch up and giving others the chance to take classes not offered because of too-few enrollees, the lab reaches out to others who have scheduling conflicts because of their participation in the county’s career and technical education program. There also are students like 16- year-old Andrea Plummer, who is taking senior-level American government and economics classes as a junior so her schedule is open for more advanced placement classes next year. “The more I get now, the more college credit I can earn now,” said Plummer, who hopes to become a cosmetic surgeon. “It opens up more opportunities for more classes.” All classes offered in the lab through the Michigan Virtual High School or CompuHigh are taught by certified teachers. They use videos, video conferencing, e-mail and chat rooms to provide lessons, lectures and feedback. All tests are monitored by Behl in the lab. “I wouldn’t say that it’s easier,” said 17-year-old senior Ryan Swaney, who’s taking AP physics this semester. “It’s just different, and it’s nice because you can go at your own pace and work anytime you want to, whether you’re at home or at school. All you need is your computer.” The lab is just as exciting to Behl, who said she’s seen students in it reach more individual achievements and personal and career goals there than in any other classroom she’s taught in. At least three students transferred to Pinckney High this year because of the lab, she said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we have five hours next year,” Behl said. Leanne Smith can be reached at lsmith@ livingstoncommunitynews.com or at 810-844-2011. Senior Ryan Swaney, 17, says learning online is not any easier than traditional classes, just different."You can go at your own pace and work anytime you want to," he says.

Pinckney to light up Putnam Twp. Square ANGELA SPOONER,THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS The Putnam Township Square in downtown Pinckney is dressed up for the holidays with more lights than ever, thanks to the township and local merchants.The community starts the season with Light Up the Park on Saturday, Dec. 13. Annual seasonal event to take place Dec. 13 with more decorations BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Families need not dish out a lot of dough this year to feel the warmth and joy of the holiday season. Downtown Pinckney is offering plenty of free fun and pictures with Santa Claus once again during its annual Light up the Park holiday celebration. This year’s event is set for noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, in the Putnam Township Square in downtown Pinckney. “I love that this is a family event with a small-town, old-fashioned feel to it,” said Kristie Knieper, who, with John Colone, is organizing this year’s event through the Pinckney-Lakeland- Hamburg-Hell Division of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce. “It’s very traditional and a great event for families.” The square is being decked out a little more this year by the chamber, Putnam Township and the village of Pinckney and its Downtown Development Authority, which contributed about $11,000 for new street banners, lights and decorations. “We hope to add a little every year,” said Deby Henneman, owner of Carousel Floral & Gifts, 105 E. Main St., and chairwoman of the Pinckney DDA decorating committee. “I’m glad that we can pull together as a community and a family to make things festive. We all really need it this year.” As in the past, the photos with Santa will be taken in- SEE LIGHT UP THE PARK, A8 A8 T H E L I V I N G S T O N C O M M U N I T Y N E W S F R ID A Y , D E C E M B E R 5, 2 0 0 8 COMMUNITY SCRAPBOOK COURTESY, JOYCE FISHER Members of the Howell High School Class of 1973 recently got together for their 35th reunion at the Howell Elks Club.

Both Hartland and Pinckney have rookie head coaches and new homes. In their second year, the Pirates, led by new coach Jim Paradise, move from Howell’s Bowl-EDrome to the newly remodeled Whitmore Lanes. After moving to the Brighton Bowl for a season, the Hartland Eagles, led by new coach Ron Heck, return to their former home. Striking Lanes in Hartland, for practice and matches. All five area teams must adjust to the new Kensington Lakes Activities Association. Since all the KLAA schools from Plymouth and Livonia don’t have bowling programs, the league will only split into three divisions instead of the traditional four. The Howell and Brighton boys will duke it out for the first KLAA west division title. The South Lyon girls will be hard-pressed to defend their Division I state title, but they are top contenders for a KLAA central division crown, as are the Lion boys. Walled Lake Central, the defending Division I boys state champions atnd state runners-up for the girls, headlines the north division. The top nine KLAA schools, determined by divisional and crossover matches during the regular season, will compete for a league championship at a tournament in mid-February. Here’s a look at the upcoming season: Brighton Bulldogs Key bowlers: Boys: James Koss (sr.), Devin Kind (jr.), Tony McNamara (sr.). Girls: Becca Mclnerney (jr.), Gatlin Trent (sr.), Gaylin Allen (sr.).

Area teams ready to ta n g le fo r takedowns LONHORWEDEL.THE LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY NEWS Howell High School's Travis Rife, top, takes control of Midland Dow High School's Aaron Matthews at last spring's MHSAA State Wrestling Championships, where Rife finished sixth at 103. W r e s t le r s r e c h a r g e Expectations higher than ever in Fowlerville BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News The Hartland wrestling program has company this year. The Eagles aren’t the only area program with state title aspirations. Coach Chris 'I^le has assembled more talent and depth than ahy of his previous five seasons at Fowlerville. The Gladiators, fresh off a school record for wins with 30, welcome back 12 returning starters (out of 14 weight classes) and have added Brett Kingsley and Mason transfer Nick McDiarmid. McDiarmid was second at the Division 2 state finals in the 215-pound weight class. Kingsley was a 2006 Fowlerville state qualifier at 160 pounds who didn’t wrestle last season. “We just want to be the most feared team, in the state,” 'lyie said. The Eagles, who were Division I state runners-up from 2004-2007, will look to continue their dominance of the old Kensington Valley Conference in the new Kensington Lakes Activities Association. They’re looking for their ninth straight conference title and eighth straight regional championship. A season-ending quad meet will determine the KLAA’s various champions. Based on regular season records, the winners of the west and north division will wrestle to decide the Lakes conference championship, while the central and south division winners will meet for the Kensington conference title. After a short break, those two conference champs will then square off for the league championship. “It sounds exciting,” Hartland coach Todd Cheney said of the changes. Here’s a look at the upcoming season for the six area programs: Brighton Bulldogs Key wrestlers: Kenny Richmond (sr. 130), Grant Pizzo (sr. 119), 'Travis Hernandez (sr. 160), Andy Raby (sr. 145-152), Andrew Ranbarger (jr. 135-140), S E E WRESTLING, B 2 PHOTOS: ELIYAHU GURFINKEL.THE LIVINGSSTON COMMUNITY NEWS During last February's wrestling districts, Brighton's Grant Pizzo, above, wrestles with Holt's Corey Leonard in the 1 1 2 -pound class.

T o u g h e r f o r c h e e r t e a m s to q u a lif y f o r s t a t e s Brighton and Hartland streaks in jeopardy; MHSAA has added a district level in post-season BY JASON DEEGAN The Livingston Community News The Brighton and Hartland competitive cheerleading teams have grown accustomed to competing at the Division I state finals. One of them has advanced to the Michigan High School Athletic Association state finals every year since at least 1998. The Eagles have been among the state’s top six teams she straight years. The Bulldogs boast a four-year streak among the state’s top 10. Both streaks could be in jeopardy through no fault of their own. The MHSAA has restructured the post-season by adding a district level, making it tougher to qualify. The MHSAA has cut five regionals down to two qualifying sites, shrinking the number of qualifiers from 10 to eight. The top four teams from each regional will compete for a state championship March 7 at the Delta Plex in Grand Rapids. The Bulldogs will host a regional Feb. 28 with top teams like defending state champion Grandville, third-place finisher East Kentwood, along with Jenison, Rockford and Lake Orion. “It’s going to be like a state final to get out of our region,” Hartland coach Paula Cunningham said. “It’s in the back of my mind.” Here’s a look at the upcoming season for the seven area teams: Brighton Bulldogs Key cheerleaders: Elizabeth Harzdors (sr), Jenel SladewsM (sr). Kelsey Forgacs (sr). Comment: Coach Kim Klaus has sk seniors, sk juniors, sk sophomores and two freshmen to mold into a cohesive group. She said her team has a good attitude and strong work ethic, led by the seniors. “I love my seniors. 'They all are great leaders,” she said. S E E CHEER, 82 ANGELA SPOONER.

Comment: After finishing fourth in the KVC, the Bulldogs could improve a step further, narrowing the gap between them and Howell and Hartland. Richmond was seventh in the state at 125 and Pizzo fifth at 112. More than 50 athletes provide depth and competition in practice. How fast a group of 30 freshmen and sophomores develop will determine the team’s success. “Talent-wise, this is one of the best groups we’ve had in a while,” co-coach Sam Amine said. Hartland Eagles Key wrestlers: Kyle Summerfield (sr. 171), Sean Hultberg (sr. 145), Nick Monitz (jr. 112), Noah Ramirez (sr. 189). Comment: Graduating four all-staters, including twotime state champion Jeremy Bommarito and state runner- up D.J. Charnesld at heavyweight, would cripple most programs but not the Eagles. Hartland doesn’t have the stars of the past, and yet, its lineup is still balanced and formidable. Summerfield (28-10) was fourth in the state at 171, and Monitz (49-10) was seventh at 103. Junior Jeff Lopez, a transfer from Waterford Mott, was a state qualifier at 130 pounds. “Our schedule is nasty, probably the toughest I’ve had as coach,” Cheney said. Howell Highlanders Key wrestlers: Matt Lewis (130, sr.), Shane Hall (sr. 215), Travis Rife (jr. 119), Erik Potere (sr. 119). Comment: The Highlanders boast 10 returning starters, including seniors Pat Dowdle (125), Steve Mixon (140), Brad Morrison (145) and Austin Lane (160). Rife (59-7) was sixth in the state at 103 last year. “It’s nice to have a veteran group that has been around the block,” coach Joe Adam said. “Hopefully, they can keep the team together.” Pinckney Pirates Key wrestlers: Ryan McAuliffe (sr. 189), Kyle Gladney (sr. 152), Wes Broughton (jr. 125), Justin Gooch (sr. heavyweight), Andrew Hufnagel (sr. 160), Brandon Stahl (sr. 145-152). Comment: Low numbers could again leave voids in coach Don Welch’s lineup. He’s thin in numbers in the lighter weights. Welch said for the first time in four years he didn’t need to worry about conditioning during the preseason, allowing his Wrestlers more time on the mat. “The kids I have are dynamic athletes,” he said. South Lyon Lions Key wrestlers: Joe Powell (sr. 160), Rob Alverson (sr. heavyweight). Brooks O’Brien (jr. 112). Comment: In his second year, coach Brian Wilson must mold a lot of new faces into a team. He’s excited about the move into the KLAA’s central division, which features solid programs like Novi and Northville but not the powerhouses like Howell and Hartland that beat up on the Lions for years. “This is going to be a wild and crazy division,” he said. The key for his team \vill be how his “role players” develop, he added. “If we can get them to improve, we can go from being OK to being a pretty good team.” Fowlerville Gladiators Key wrestlers: Anthony Lee (sr. 125), Dillon Kern (sr. 171), Erick Helfmann (sr. heavyweight), McDiarmid. Comment: The Gladiators have nine experienced seniors, led by Kern (48-10), who was state runner-up at 171. lyie said those leaders have spurred on a sense of urgency in how hard the team works at practice. The Gladiators have been runner- up in the gold division of the (Capital Area Activities Association every year since 2001, a streak they’re hoping ends. “The nice thing about this year is we can move guys around,” Tyie said. “We’ve got a lot of depth.” Jason Deegan can be reached atjdeegan@ livingstoncommunitynew5.com orat8i0-844-20i2.

Bitondo had his identity stolen and found out when he tried to purchase gasoline last summer and he was declined. "Something didn't feel right," he said. JIM JAGDFELD, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Prevent identity theft Take steps to protect your personal information BY LEANNE SMITH The Livingston Community News Don’t let your identity be the gift you unwillingly give this holiday season. Figures from the Federal 'Trade Commission show that up to 9 million Americans have their identity stolen each year. Locally, at least half the cases being investigated by detectives in the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department are related to this crime. Identity theft is the unlawful use of your personal information, such as name, date of birth. Social Security number, credit card or bank account numbers. And it increases during the holiday season when busy shoppers aren’t as cautious about who’s peeking over their shoulders or into their purses, wallets or unlocked vehicles for checks, credit cards or documents. “The impression here is that people aren’t streetwise - they’re too nice,” said Det. Rob Michels of the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department. “That’s just what the criminals look for.” Once criminals have your personal information they typically commit other crimes, such as forgery or check or credit card fraud, he said. “All of this is preventable,” Michels said. “You just have to be careful, be suspicious S E E IDENTITY, A 4 COUN'Y' ■ A logo for the Livingston County Sheriff Department group that investigates identity theft.

Some have been in Brighton for years. 'Take Mark Binkley, whose family has owned Cooper & Binkley Jewelers on West Main Street since 1971; the store has been downtown for 60 years. “They say we’re in a recession. We’re not participating (in it) - as a business or as a community,” Binkley says with a sense of determination. “You’ve got to'keep it in the proper perspective. There’s lots and lots of good out there on a daily basis. We’re as busy as ever in the number of customers we have.” Although people are being more careful about how they spend, they still are spending, he says.

Brighton schools will end year in deficit State will get involved as district develops plan to cut spending BY LISA CAROLIN The Livingston Community News Sometime next month, interim superintendent Bonnie Riutta will formally tell state officials that the Brighton school district will end the year with a deficit budget. The determination means the state will get involved as Brighton develops a plan to cut its spending in order to eliminate the deficit. Riutta and Mike Hubert, the district’s interim assistant superintendent of finance, say that for Brighton to eliminate the deficit, officials will have to look everywhere for ways to save money. Hubert says there will be meetings with union leaders about revising labor contracts, which contributed to the higher than projected deficit. Riutta says she wants the use of staff and buildings to be as efficient as possible. So she is working with committees to review the way the grades are divided in the district, with the possibility of separating grades 1-4, grades 5-6, and grades 7-8 for a more efficient use of staff and buildings. Monday night the school board was told just how big that deficit is likely to be at the end of the fiscal year, next June 30: $3.5 million, $1 million more than first projected at the start of the fiscal year. Riutta is quick to point out that even with the deficit designation, there is no threat that school doors vdll be closed next fall. “It means that the state will become involved in June of 2009 and will say that the Brighton Area Schools has to come up with a deficit reduction plan that explains how we will get ourselves out of the deficit,” says Riutta. Brighton will have two years to eliminate the deficit and it Bonnie Riutta: Interim school chief says Brighton wiil be a deficit district next June. Bill Anderson: School board president says the district has operated "thinly for many years."
