Michigan Senate Report By Joe Hune, 22nd District Expanding Support for Skill Trades Training Programs Michigan’s comeback is strong and getting stronger. The number of unemployed workers in our state is at its lowest rate in more than 12 years, and the total number of employed Michiganders continues to rise. In fact, over the past four years, more than 300,000 private sector jobs have been created. As we move further into the 21st century, and as our economy shifts to one that is more knowledge and skillsbased, we need to make sure that workers are prepared to meet the needs of tomorrow’s jobs. Job providers and workers are facing a skills gap between what is needed to ¿ll open positions and what candidates currently possess. To help overcome this disparity and make sure our students and workers meet job requirements, industry, education and government are collaborating, and it is making a difference. The Michigan New Jobs Training Program (NJTP) was established in 2008 to allow community colleges to enter into agreements with employers to both provide education and training for workers, and to establish a funding mechanism to pay for their education and training. Under the program, training for newly hired workers is paid by capturing the state income tax associated with the new employees’ wages and redirecting it to a local college, instead of to the state. These new jobs must pay at least 175 percent of the state minimum wage in effect at the time the agreement is entered into. Once the training costs are paid off, the new employee’s income tax withholding will go to the state and become state revenue. The NJTP has been widely successful, generating more than $76 million in additional earnings and 2,266 new jobs in 2012 alone. All indications suggest the program will continue to grow rapidly over the next several years. To help ensure the program’s success and to maximize the number of community colleges, students and businesses that can participate, the Senate recently approved legislation that removes certain technical, but impactful restrictions from the program.

VILLAGE OF FOWLERVILLE NOTICE TO VILLAGE RESIDENTS GRASS AND WEED CONTROL Weeds or brush in violation of section 86-29 must not be permitted to exist on property in the village and must be abated, cut, destroyed or removed by the person responsible for the property beginning May 1 and continuing throughout the months of May thru October of that year. Sec. 86-29. Growth of certain weeds and brush prohibited. Poisonous or injurious weeds. Other weeds or grasses of any species or variety exceeding six inches in height. Wild growing brush or underbrush exceeding six inches in height. Failure to comply with section 86-29 will result in the village causing the abatement, cutting, destruction or removal of the weeds or brush in violation of section 86-29, and the cost thereof charged against the person responsible for the property. The village may abate, cut, destroy or remove the weeds or brush in violation of section 86-29 as many times as are necessary during the months of May thru October of the notice year and charge the cost to the person responsible for the property. Kathryn M. Arledge Village Clerk (03-22-15, 04-05-15)

I was happy to cast my vote in support of this legislation to strengthen the NJTP because doing so will mean fewer companies will be waiting for qualiÂżed employees, which means more Michiganders will be working and contributing to our economic success.

Card of Thanks The Azzoli Family would like to thank ALL who gave us so much support during Carl’s illness and passing. It was so comforting to know your prayers and thoughts were with us, and continue to be with us. Linda, Jeffry, Teresa, and Nick

2014 Water Quality Report for Village of Fowlerville This report covers the drinking water quality for Village of Fowlerville for the 2014 calendar year. This information is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided to you in 2014. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. Your water comes from 5 groundwater wells, each over Avg.depth of 250-290 ft. Drawing from the Michigan & Marshall Formations watershed. The State performed an assessment of our source water to determine the susceptibility or the relative potential of contamination. The susceptibility rating is on a seven-tiered scale from “very-lowâ€? to “very-highâ€? based on geologic sensitivity, well construction, water chemistry and contamination sources. The susceptibility of our source is [Well # 9 (moderately high) Well # 10 (moderately high) Well #11 (moderately high) Well #12 (moderately low) Well #13 (moderately low)]. 6LJQLÂżFDQW VRXUFHV RI FRQWDPLQDWLRQ 7KH 9LOODJH RI )RZOHUYLOOH KDV QR FRQWDPLnation in our wells.

‡ Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). ‡ Vulnerability of sub-populations: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are DYDLODEOH IURP WKH 6DIH 'ULQNLQJ :DWHU +RWOLQH ‡ Sources of drinking water: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. ‡

&RQWDPLQDQWV WKDW PD\ EH SUHVHQW LQ VRXUFH ZDWHU LQFOXGH 1. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. 2. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. 3. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses. 4. Radioactive contaminants, which are naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. 5. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which provide the same protection for public health.

Water Quality Data The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2014 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 – December 31, 2014. The State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year EHFDXVH WKH FRQFHQWUDWLRQV RI WKHVH FRQWDPLQDQWV DUH QRW H[SHFWHG WR YDU\ VLJQL¿cantly from year to year. All of the data is representative of the water quality, but some are more than one year old. Terms and abbreviations used below: ‡ Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. ‡ Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): means the highest level of ‡ a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

It’s a meaningful activity that makes moving easier for a person with PD. Dancing is a joyful, excellent exercise; it stretches, strengthens, and relaxes muscles and improves the mental activity; and it uses the brain and body to control movement, and enhances the senses. We talk and laugh together, and sometimes we sing along also. This program is appropriate for anyone with PD, no matter how advanced. No dance experience is required. Join us for the fun!

Senior Spotlight—Dalton Slaughter By Hayley Wagner Dalton Paul Slaughter will be graduating in the spring of 2015 with a big future ahead of him. He is the son of Lori and Shannon Slaughter, and the brother to Dillon Slaughter, current junior at Webberville High School. Even though Slaughter looks forward to graduating, he will miss all of the memories he has made in high school. Throughout Slaughter’s time at Webberville he has made a big impact on the school. He is a big contributor to both the baseball and football teams, and his hard work shows while he is pla\ing. ³Dalton has great character and a terri¿c work ethic; players were always following his lead. He had a few nagging injuries but always stayed positive and worked hard to get back on the ¿eld,´ said football coach, -oel Emmons. ³He always brought a big smile but was a ¿erce competitor. <ou could always count on him to give his best effort.´ Slaughter has been attending Webberville since his freshman year and has made many friends since then. “Dalton is a great friend and an amazing teammate. Being on the football team has really brought us together as friends and he has helped me through a lot,´ said fellow senior and friend, Travis Elowsky. “He is a good guy and will do anything he puts his mind to.´ Dedication is one word to describe Slaughter. “Dalton’s work ethic makes him unique. It really is top notch whether in the classroom, at home, or in the weight room. He gives it all he has,´ said Travis Brown, calculus and physical education teacher at Webberville, “He is a very hard worker, and he truly wants to ¿nd success. He is always willing to redo assignments if he feels he has not done well the ¿rst time.´ Along with sports, Slaughter has also been successful academically. He is also a part of the CAHEP program which furthers his education in nursing. “I appreciate Dalton’s desire to excel. Dalton is very motivated to succeed and thinks about his future frequently,´ said .atie Pingle, high school English teacher. “I’ll miss Dalton’s commitment to his future career. Many students do not see the connection between school and the future as Dalton does.´ After high school Slaughter plans to attend Western Michigan University to major in microbiology and minor in Spanish. “My advice to underclassmen is to make the most of high school, play as many sports as you can and enjoy it while it lasts,´ said Slaughter.

Webberville FFA named top chapter in Michigan By Autumn Stowe During the recent 87th Annual Michigan FFA Convention, Webberville was named the top chapter in the state. There are 103 active FFA chapters that make up the state association. The chapter was given the honor based on their innovative ways and quality plan of activities. “It is great to see the continued success of the Webberville FFA on obtaining the National Chapter Award,â€? said Webberville FFA Alumni President David Wheeler. “It shows the huge amount of pride that our members have in the program and their ability to showcase the chapter. This shows what great accomplishments our local youth are capable of. Congratulations and I hope to see future success in the Webberville FFA.â€? In order to receive this award, the chapter had to complete a lot of hard work. An 18 page application was Âżlled out and turned into the state association in January. The association then reviews all the applications from across the state and selects the top three. “It is very gratifying to see the students’ hard work pay off,â€? said FFA Advisor Colleen Scott Keiser. “It is a highly competitive Âżeld when you compete against such esteemed FFA programs like Montague and Corunna.

This year Paige Wilson and Jenna Kingsley were selected to present the award to three judges. “It was a great honor to showcase all of the hard work that goes into our chapter,â€? said Jenna Kingsley. “It was exciting to see a small town like Webberville represented on the big stage.â€? The scoring for the National Chapter Award is based on the application and presentation. The application will now be sent to the national level for further review. The chapter will be recognized at the FFA National Convention next fall where they will receive a plaque for this prestigious accomplishment.

Webberville Middle School students take part in Girls Math & Science Day

On Saturday March 7, a group of Webberville students, parent volunteers, and Mrs. Andrechek went to Michigan State University for Middle School Girls Math and Science Day. This outreach event was organized by the MSU Graduate Women in Science and featured many interactive sessions. The girls were able to work with MSU science students who passed on

dhese tebberǀille Diddle ^chool students aƩended ^cience and Dath Day at Michigan State University. their enthusiasm and knowledge to the girls through science experiments. The main message from the keynote speaker was that the only foolish questions in science are the ones that you don’t ask. While at MSU, the Webberville scientists learned about wildlife forensics by extracting, amplifying and separating DNA using pipettes and gel electrophoresis. When they did this experiment, they used the dye from Skittles as a model for DNA. The girls learned about the heart by pumping red colored water through a clear plastic tube using a syringe. They clogged the artery with vegetable fat and observed how hard it was to pump blood through. Then they designed an experiment to unclog the artery using soap. It was an amazing visual of heart disease, no more hamburgers for these scientists! The girls also got to see several examples of robots in action and learned all about why plants have certain colors and how to measure color pigments. These young scientists learned all about the brain by stepping into a model brain to see how different parts of the brain are connected. The students learned about how taste buds work and also all about the role of insects in nature. They even made a painting using maggots! This event generated a lot of excitement and interest in science. These Webberville girls especially loved that the boys were jealous that they could not go. During the day they were able to see the importance of asking great questions and not being afraid to try new things. They also saw that doing science means that sometimes your experiment will not work out the ¿rst time and that you just might get dirty.

Alexis separated DNA using electrophoresis.

Kyra and Ashley tried to push blood through a clogged artery.

Handy millage, continued to be a hotly-contested campaign, with millions of dollars in advertising money expected to be spent by groups supporting the measure as well as by those opposing its passage. “Township voters have been overwhelmingly supportive of the road millage renewals,” noted Supervisor Ed Alverson. “We’re concerned that our request might get confused with the state proposal.” Alverson said that the township decided to seek the renewal on the May 5 ballot in order to save money. Township residents in Precincts 1 and 3, located north and south of the Village of Fowlerville, are eligible to vote on the township proposal. Village residents in Precinct 2 do not vote on this measure. Based on the current SEV (state equalized valuation) for the non-village area of the township, the road mill would raise approximately $149,927. A portion of this is used for dust control. In 2012 that expense was $53,414.72, in 2013 it was $57,096.83. Last year, through the end of the township’s 2013-14 ¿scal year of -une 30, the expense was $41,717.36. The rest of the road millage monies is spent on improvement projects. Alverson noted that some General Fund revenues also go towards road projects. In 2012, Handy spent $100,000 to repave Van Buren Road from Fowlerville Road to Gregory Road, with the Livingston County Road Commission paying a similar amount on this project. There was also work done on Gregory Road, south of Allen Road, at a cost of $50,000, and on Hogback Road, south of Grand River, at a price of $80,000. The 2013 road improvements included: Layton Road for $55,000; Cemetery Road from Van Riper Road to Grand River for $70,000, Hogback Road from Grand River to Allen Road for $7,000; and Sharpe Road from Cemetery Road to Owosso Road (four inches of limestone) for $12,000. Last year the repaving project on Nicholson Road from Mason Road to -udd Road was split 50-50 with the Road Commission, with the township paying $100,000.

Updates to Village’s master plan & recreation plan discussed at meeting By Steve Horton The Fowlerville Village Planning Commission received a report from its consultant, Kaitlin Mallow-Marcon of LSL Planning that the master plan needed to be looked at, as required by state law, and that the recreation plan should be updated. That report was given at the commission’s recent monthly meeting on March 10. “It’s time for the Village to open up the master plan and decide if it wants to make any updates,� Mallow-Marcon said. “The Downtown has gotten a lot of attention lately with signs and business uses. Rather than opening up the master plan for other areas of the Village, since you’re probably not going to make any changes to them, perhaps the better use of funds and time would be to concentrate on the downtown business district. You could consider changes to the sign

ordnance as part of that process, if you wished.â€? Mallow-Marcon suggested the process could begin with discussions by the planning commission, followed by an invitation to the public for input and comment. The goal, she said, would be to create a Downtown Visioning Plan and have the master plan reĂ€ect any changes. “You could talk about signs, planters, lighting, banners, as well as types of allowable businesses,â€? she said. “The process would take around 10 months.â€? Her comments about the master plan and focusing on the Downtown were in reference to the public hearing held earlier in the meeting on a proposal to amend the sign ordinance for the Village’s Business Core Zoning District (the Downtown Business District), with several business owners asking for a change in the maximum size. Currently, the ordinance does not allow for a business sign that is larger than 40 square feet, regardless of how much frontage a building has—a onesize-Âżts-all approach. Supporters of the amendment have

suggested that the 40 square feet requirement remain for a building with frontage of 20 feet in width or less, but allow an additional 10 square feet in signage for each additional 15 feet of frontage width. Mallow-Marcon was also referencing an ordinance amendment approved by the commission in January, which allows micro-breweries in the Downtown Business District. The members’ March meeting packet also included a letter from Fred Dillingham, President of the Livingston Business Development Associates, the consultant for the Fowlerville Downtown Development Authority, suggesting that local ofÂżcials re-think and re-visualize the kinds of businesses and business activities permitted in the downtown. He said that “some basic reality, out-of-box things concerning small business attractionâ€? is needed. “In many communities today, one Âżnds antique furniture reÂżnishing, cabinet repair, upholstering, custom picture farming, glass blowing, and pottery and woodworking businesses,â€? Dillingham wrote in his letter. “This type of small business attracts investment, employment and trafÂżc in small downtowns and enhances a vibrant, small business environment. The deÂżnition of manufacturing is a valueadded process in which goods are altered and/or produced. Brewing beer and wine making are examples. “:hile some may argue that small towns should be Âżlled with quaint shops, boutiques and restaurants, the reality is that making a business proÂżtable and receiving a reasonable return in investment is very difÂżcult in most small-town business environments. While the property costs have declined recently, the cost to bring many downtown properties up to code, basic remodeling and maintenance costs, parking and walking access to many properties, second and third Ă€oor access issues, and limited customer trafÂżc all contribute to the difÂżculty to attract and site retail and boutique-type businesses.â€? Dillingham said that “the longer community members wait for small retail to redevelop in their communities, the more they will see their property values and tax revenues fall and vacant properties (buildings) increase.â€? “Vacant buildings represent the worse property use in a downtown and contribute to downtown blight more than any other use a community can experience,â€? he added. Dillingham suggested that local ofÂżcials consider amending the zoning ordinances “to allow for a variety of non-retail, non-service, non-offensive value added small businessesâ€? in the downtown. In his letter, he pointed out that Ă€exibility and accommodation has been the rule of thumb during the Village’s history. Beginning in the mid-1 00’s, shortly after Âżrst white settlers arrived, the types of businesses and business activities in the community have changed and evolved according to various demands and needs. Dillingham noted that, at one time or the other, the downtown has had a Ă€our grain mill, livestock feed mills gain elevators, blacksmith shops, a saw mill, a lumber yard, a brick factory, a chair manufacturing company, a tin shop, a foundry, farm equipment dealers, several combination gas stations and car repair shops, a cheese factory, auto dealerships, and a dairy processing and bottling store. An update of the Village’s Recreation Plan is recommended, said Mallow-Marcon, in order for the Village to qualify for any available state grants. “If you wished to pursue a suitable project, the Dept. of Natural Resources requires that a recreation plan be updated within the past Âżve years,â€? she said. “The last time your plan was updated was in 2009, so its time.â€?

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, March 22, 2015 – Page 23

Michigan House Report By Dr. Hank Vaupel 47nd District Education is a key to a bright future for Michigan’s children. Many students will take different education paths but I think we can all agree that a high school education up to the high school level is critical to success in life. This week in the House Committee on Families, Children, and Seniors, my colleagues and I approved legislation that seeks to increase students’ school attendance. House Bill 4041 will require

families participating in the Family Independence Program (FIP), better known as the cash assistance program, to meet the mandatory attendance requirements in Michigan’s School Code to still receive these bene¿ts. The goal of this legislation is not to punish already struggling families, but to foster parental responsibility and ensure that Michigan kids are getting the best education they can. It is important to note that food assistance will still be available to families and it will not be withheld based on school attendance. To be eligible for FIP, a family must have a child under 18, or 18 and still in high school. Adults in the program are required to participate in the PATH program to help move them to self suf¿ciency. 8nder HB 4041 the 'epartment of Human Services will step in and work to address truancy issues before funds are cut off. :ithholding the FIP bene¿ts is really a last step effort to get kids in the classroom. The majority of the families on these programs are actively working toward self suf¿ciency and we are not trying to punish them for needing help. However, if you are working

toward self suf¿ciency, your child’s education should be of utmost importance. An education has been proven as the best way to break the cycle of generational poverty and that means students need to attend classes on a regular basis. The catalyst for this legislation started in the 2011-2012 school year when truancy in Michigan reached an all-time high of 3,000 cases in a single school year. Previous to that, 'etroit Public Schools discussed tying FIP bene¿ts to school attendance after student attendance hit an alarming low of 5 percent. After these discussions 'PS saw attendance rates soar to over 0 percent. Again, this legislation does not seek to punish families for needing assistance, its main goal is to ensure that students are prepared to have the best chance at success. HB 4041 now heads to the full House for consideration. *** If you need assistance with state government issues, please contact me toll free at 866-828-4863 or via e-mail at HankVaupel@house.mi.gov.

If Darian could change one thing about Fowlerville High School, she would have no carpet in the hallways, as well as in the classrooms. Her favorite aspect of FHS is that she likes how small the school is. Her advice for underclassman is to set goals and don’t procrastinate. To make memorable experiences, she spends most of her time as a dancer at Maria’s School of Dance and spends her spare time with her close friends. Her favorite memory with her friends was when she went up north with Olya, Alina, and Summer the summer before their junior year. Darian also enjoys snowmobiling and boating with her family. Darian has a great list of favorite movies, shows, games, and so on. She has too many favorite movies, to just pick one out is impossible, however, her favorite TV show is So You Think You Can Dance. She also enjoys the author Nicholas Sparks and the board game Quelf. Darian was nominated by her 12th grade teachers. Mr. Collins stated, “Darian demonstrates a positive attitude, is a positive role model for her peers and she is always demonstrating responsibility as a student. She participates actively in class and performs as a student at a very high level.� Ms. Chaperon said, “Darien is always participating in

She works hard to understand what she’s doing and is very friendly and helpful to others.� One of the things that Darian will miss most about high school is, “It is an easy lifestyle where there are no bills or small responsibilities.� When asked about how she felt about being nominated Student of the Week, she was very surprised and honored. Darian works hard every day and stays focused on her work even with her packed schedule with dance.
