January marks the observance of ‘School Board Recognition Month’

January marks the observance of School Board Recognition Month. This is a time to show your appreciation for the 40 school board members who serve the Livingston Educational Service Agency (LESA) and the districts of Brighton, Fowlerville, Hartland, Howell and Pinckney. They are leaders and champions for public education in our community. School board members dedicate countless hours of hard work, providing leadership guidance to local school districts in order to advance education for the nearly 28,000 children in Livingston County. School board members are ordinary citizens with extraordinary dedication to public schools. All Michigan citizens should recognize the vital contribution of these men and women and the crucial role they play in the education of our children. School Board members come from a variety of backgrounds, yet they share a common goal – helping students achieve in school and life. The job of the Board of Education is to establish a vision for the education program, design a structure to achieve that vision, ensure schools are accountable to the community and strongly advocate for continuous improvement in student learning. The job of a school board member is demanding, the hours great and the thanks few and far between; now is the time to thank them for their efforts.

Knights of Columbus Council 8605 # of Fowlerville is a Columbian Award winner for the 2013 and 2014 fraternal year. The award is presented for excellence in sponsorship of programs that serve the Church, community, families, culture of life, and youth – as well as council members. The announcement was made by the Knights of Columbus international headquarters located in New Haven, Connecticut. District Deputy Richard Lamay of District 60 presented the engraved plaque to the council at the special ceremony held on November 19, 2014 Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson, President of the international organization, in recognizing the local award winner, said, “Please accept my sincere congratulations on attaining this prestigious award. The dedication to the Order shown by your council is seen in the high standard of excellence you have achieved. At the same time, I encourage you to carry forward this enthusiasm to meet the challenges that will face the Knights of Columbus in the years ahead. May this award be a reminder and an inspiration to the members of your council to continue to promote the ideals of Columbianism for the good of

the Church, your community, and the Order.” In accepting the award, Grand Knight Robert Kuch, head of the local council, said “Receiving this award is quite an honor. We’re very pleased with this accomplishment. The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic lay organization. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families, and young people. With more than 1.8 million members in more than 15,000 councils around the world, the Knights of Columbus annually donate over $170 million and 70 million hours of service to charitable causes.

Members stand in front of local stores, seeking donations and giving away a piece of candy as a “thank you.” The money, in turn, is distributed to organizations inside Livingston County who provide services to those in the community who are mentally challenged.

By Cheryl Poch It is a New Year and time to check out our NEW fiction, DVD’s, cd’s, and so much more. Once again, our shelves are bursting at the seams with new materials. The library purchases many of the books mentioned in our free Book Page publication. Stop by and pick up your free Book Page publication to see the latest books with lengthy reviews to help you choose a book just right for your personal reading tastes! This week I would like to give you a list of books geared for the ‘younger’ generation! The books listed will be found in our children’s and junior area of the library. Let us start with Fly Guy presents Firefighters by Tedd Arnold. This book is about a boy and a pet fly named Fly Guy. They go on different adventures and experience some cool things. If you like Legos, then you will like the next few books on the list. They are Beginning to Read Alone level two. The first book is called Lego Friends... Perfect Pets. The illustrations are in the form of Legos! How cool is that? The other Lego book is Lego Star Wars-The Empire Strikes Back. Check these and many more of our other Lego books for a fun read! We have all read the book on Peter Rabbit-but did you know that there is a Peter Rabbit Club? The book-- The Peter Rabbit Club-- is beautifully illustrated. There is a map of Peter Rabbit’s woods and it has a great story line. Check it out. The library also has a great collection for readers who are just beginning to read. Tiny Goes Back to School by Cari Meister is one of those books. The illustrations are adorable and encourage children to keep reading to find out what happens to Tiny at school! Now let us step it up a bit and go to some interesting biographies for children. Who Was Johnny Appleseed by Joan Holub is a good book about Johnny Appleseed and frontier life. These books are illustrated with pencil drawings and maps. Other titles in the series include What Was the Underground Railroad? In addition, Who was Henry Ford? Last but not least, we have three children’s books for the little ‘tykes.’ Three Bears in a Boat by David Soman, Alone Together by Suzanne Bloom, and This Orq. (he cave boy) by David Elliott. All of them include beautiful illustrations and heartwarming stories. Good reads for ALL ages. Come on in and check these and other books out. It is truly amazing the amount of new books coming out all the time for folks of all ages. Till next week: “An apple tree can grow up to forty feet tall and live one hundred years!” (I think I will go and have myself a ‘granny-smith!”)

4-H Key Club Award Winners-- Tammy Barringer, Brenden Baumann, Ekateryna LaViola and Alexis Marsh-will be recognized by the Livingston County Board of Commissioners on January 20 for their outstanding achievements. The Key Club Award is the highest award given to a 4-H member. A county is only allowed to give the award to ½ of 1% of their membership. “The youth have to fill out a very detailed application telling us everything they have done with 4-H during their career,” said Sarah McKinney, 4-H Program Coordinator. “These youth are judged on participation, leadership, citizenship, achievement and community service. They have shown their citizenship skills by representing 4-H as club officers, teen representatives and on county, regional and state committees.” Some things done by these young people to display their leadership ability are planning workshops, mentoring and being teen leaders. “We should be very proud to call the youth receiving these awards members of our community,” said McKinney. Although these members are still young they have already proven themselves to be great leaders and citizens and they are all part of the Livingston County 4-H program.” Tammy Barringer is a member of Ranger’s 4-H Club and says 4-H has made her the person she is today and helped her learn to speak up and share her ideas. She is very active in her club and helps often with community service projects and showing younger members the ropes. Her club leader says

Village council gets progress report on two “unsafe” structures

Gary Hartman Owner/Operator

By Steve Horton Fowlerville Village Council got a progress report on three structures that have been ticketed for being “unsafe”. Two of them are residential houses, while the other is a former business. An abandoned house at 305 Church Street and the former business at 306 E. Grand River are owned by out-of-state companies, the former located in Texas and the latter in Maryland. Each purchased them in a tax sale. Neither owner has paid any subsequent property taxes nor have they maintained the respective properties. They have also, thus far, failed to respond to inquiries from the Village office. Letters were recently sent, notifying each owner that their property was deemed as “unsafe” by the Livingston County Building Department and needed to be brought up to code. “They had 10 days to respond, and neither did,” said Village attorney David Stoker. “Tickets have been issued. If those are not paid, then the matter is turned over to the court.” Stoker noted that, after the legal steps take place, the Village

could eventually ask for an injunction from the court, seeking to do something with the property. “This might involve fixing up the structure or demolishing it,” he said, “with the Village putting up the front money. The cost could be put on the property’s tax bill, but since the taxes aren’t being paid now, it’s unlikely you (the Village) will recoup the cost.” Stoker advised council that, at some point in the near future, a policy decision needs to be made. “Is either building in such a condition that it’s unsafe and needs to be fixed up or removed?” he posed the first question, then added, “If so, do you want to spend the money to fix it up or remove it? That’s money the Village probably won’t get back. If you run into issues like asbestos removal, it could be expensive.” The property at 306 E. Grand River, which was the site of a gas station for several decades, is on the Michigan Dept. of Environment Quality (DEQ) list of contaminated sites. Whoever owns the property (it appears) would be liable for cleaning up the site. The State of Michigan has also placed a lien on the property, contending that grant money given to a former owner to perform a clean-up of the contaminated ground was not done. Village manager Kathryn Arledge said that she is meeting with a DEQ official to learn more about the situation. Stoker, in his report, also noted that since taxes haven’t been paid, they the properties will go up for a tax sale next year. “We’ll be going through the cycle again,” he said, referring to the Grand River property that has had different owners who purchased the site at a tax sale, and then did nothing. Stoker, in answer to a question, explained that Livingston County is one of 12 counties that does not conduct these sales, but instead has the state do it on their behalf. “The local municipality is supposed to be notified when a property goes up for sale,” he added. “In these cases, that didn’t happen.” Council, after getting this report, asked that estimates be obtained from the county building department on the cost of bringing the residential home up to code or tearing it down, and also the cost of demolishing the former business. Included in these estimates would be information on what hazardous materials might be present, and the requirements for removing them. In addition, council wished to learn if the building (on East Grand River) could be demolished without dealing with the issue of the contaminated soil. “At some point we’ve got to cut bait,” said trustee Jerry Bell. “These buildings are an eyesore. We have to do what’s best for the community and not necessarily for the pocketbook, although we need to be aware of cost. We need to make this decision sooner, rather than later.” A follow-up report will be made at the Feb. 9 meeting.

Michigan Senate Report By Joe Hune, 22nd District

Keeping warm paramount during Michigan winters

As we all know, Michigan winters are some of the coldest in our country. So I would like to remind all Michigan families to do their best to ensure their family’s warmth this winter. During such tough economic times, some struggling families in Southeast Michigan may be in need of heating assistance programs. Such programs are offered by several organizations, including utility companies and charitable organizations. If you are unable to pay your current utility bill the first step is to call your utility provider and inquire as to any assistance programs that may be available. Being proactive could save your life by ensuring the heat stays on. Furthermore, the Winter Protection Plan safeguards seniors and low-income customers of regulated natural gas and electric companies from service shutoffs and high utility bills between Nov. 1 and March 31. The plan allows eligible seniors and low-income customers to avoid shutoffs while paying nothing or a small percentage of their annual bill during the protection period. To apply, contact your natural gas or utility company. This deferment plan should help alleviate the burden of high utility bills in the winter. After the protection period, participants must pay off any winter balances owed between April and November. Under some circumstances the state of Michigan can provide assistance for those who can generally make payments but may need help due to an unexpected emergency. For more information, visit www.michigan.gov/heatingassistance. At this site you can also find information about the Michigan Home Heating Credit. Finally, those still in need of heating assistance may contact The Southwest Michigan Community Action Agency by visiting www.smcaa.com. Families in need of help with home heating or other programs may always contact my office for assistance tollfree at 1-855-563-4863 or by email at SenJHune@senate. michigan.gov. In cases of emergency, or if you simply want information on a particular human service issue, 2-1-1 is also available. Currently, 2-1-1 is available in Livingston, Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Hillsdale, Ingham, Jackson, Lenawee, & Shiawassee Counties.

The Community Theatre of Howell presenting Noises Off

Alchin’s Disposal, Inc.

The Community Theatre of Howell is proud to present Michael Frayn’s Noises Off. This play within a play showcases a humorously accurate caricature of the theatrical community. It is a three act play following a group of bumbling actors rehearsing and performing a flop called Nothing On. Doors slam, sardines fly, and actors tumble their way through a 10week production run. This is slapstick comedy at its best. Noises Off is a wickedly funny revelation of what can happen on the other side of the curtain. Or rather, the mayhem that ensues when a dysfunctional group of actors rehearse and then perform a show while letting their personal lives and individual idiosyncrasies get in the way. Each act is more hilarious than the last, in what has been called the funniest farce ever written. We guarantee you’ll never look at theatre the same way again! Come see this talented cast of nine performers from the Livingston County area. All are comic timing geniuses that perform their own stunts. As this is a play within a play, each of these brilliant actors portrays two characters. Performances take place Jan. 30 & 31 at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 1 at 2 p.m., Feb. 6 & 7 at 7:30 p.m., and Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available now and may be purchased through the theatre box office at 517-545-1290, or online at www. cththeatre.org. Tickets can also be purchased at the Bennett Recreation Center (Howell), Maria’s School of Dance (Fowlerville) and Kahuna Coffee (Hartland). Advanced tickets are $13 for adults and $11 for students and seniors. Visa and MasterCard are accepted. Tickets are $2 more when purchased at the door. Group discounts are available. For further information visit our website www.cththeatre. org.

Fowlerville house destroyed in early-morning fire on Jan. 9

A house in the Village of Fowlerville was destroyed in an early-morning fire on Friday, Jan. 9. The residence, which was occupied by a couple (Johnny Jones), is located at 712 Church Street at East Street. They were able to escape the fire without injury. The Fowlerville Fire Dept. received the call at 7 a.m. “The house was totally engulfed in flames when we arrived,” said Fire Chief John Wright. A cause is undetermined. Wright said that the condition of the structure made it unsafe for an investigation. The local department was assisted at the scene by the Leroy Township Fire Dept., while the Howell Area Fire Department sent a truck to man the Fowlerville station during the fire.

Times are the same for both days and you may come during any session to enroll your child. Sessions are 8:00 – 10:30 a.m., 1:00 – 3:00 p.m., and 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. When you come to Round Up please have your child’s birth certificate, current immunization record, vision screening results (must be results after the age of 3) and 2 pieces for proof of residency (1 piece being your D.L.) The Health Department will be available at Smith during all sessions of Round Up, if your child needs a vision screening. There have been changes the last couple of years to the State of Michigan School Code regarding enrollment of children in kindergarten and their age eligibility. Here is an excerpt from the revised school code 380.1147: (2) In a school district that provides kindergarten, beginning with the 2015-2016 school year, a child who resides in the school district may enroll in kindergarten if the child is at least 5 years of age on September 1 of the school year of enrollment. (3) If a child residing in the school district is not 5 years of age on the enrollment eligibility date specified in subsection (2), but will be 5 years of age not later than December 1 of a school year, the parent or legal guardian of that child may enroll the child in kindergarten for that school year if the parent or legal guardian notifies the school district in writing not later than June 1 before the beginning of the school year that he or she intends to enroll the child in kindergarten. A school district that receives this written notification may make a recommendation to the parent or legal guardian of a child described in this subsection that the child is not ready to enroll in kindergarten due to the child’s age or other factors. However, regardless of this recommendation, the parent or legal guardian retains the sole discretion to determine whether or not to enroll the child in kindergarten under this subsection. *** Michigan State University is hosting their Annual Science Festival, April 15 – 19th!

By Jessica Pendell Samuel Holmes has attended Webberville since preschool. He is the son of James and Rebecca Holmes; he is also the younger brother of Matt and Jon Holmes who are both Webberville graduates. Holmes is very focused on his extracurricular activities. He has participated in football, track and field, FFA, and band all through middle and high school. “I have always loved sports,” said Holmes. “I love to get out and do things.” Even the teachers and coaches notices Holmes’ enthusiasm. “Band is something Sam has always seemed to take very seriously,” said Mr. Gary Franks, Webberville Band Director. “He is an excellent trombone and bass guitar player and could easily earn a spot in a college marching or concert band.” Holmes has a number of friends throughout Webberville. Whether it was playing football out on the field, running on the track or playing music in the band room, Holmes loved to do everything with his closest friends. “Being on the football field with Sam will always be my favorite memory,” said friend and fellow senior Travis Elowsky. “He’s always a good leader on and off the field.” Holmes will be missed throughout the school. He’s been an inspiration to younger students and a good friend to many. “Sam has always been a positive influence on other band members,” said Mr. Franks “That’s how I think he will be remembered.” Other band mates think highly of Holmes and really look up to him. Fellow band member Ezra Fuller can only say good things about Holmes. “I will always remember hanging out with Sam during band camp,” said Fuller. “He is loyal and he’ll always be there for you.” After school Holmes plans to go to LCC for three years, then transfer to Sienna Heights for a major in game design.

Books are an abundant commodity for most people in this day and age. For some, however, books are not so easy to come by. Members of the FHS National Honors Society and of Community Connect are working together this postholiday season to gather books for those down on their luck. The book drive relies on the donations of anyone in the community- and we hope you can help! To gather gently-used reading material, the book drive has drop-off sites at the Fowlerville High School, Kreeger Elementary, Smith Elementary, and other community locations. In addition, a donation box will be located at the First National Bank in town, as well as in the Fowlerville Schools until this Friday, Jan. 23. All donated books will go to benefit those at the annual Community Connect event-- an event which provides free services to those in the community that need a little help. Community Connect is a one-day event, happening at Parker Middle School in Howell on February 7. Free items are offered to those in need, including clothes, take-home food, personal care items, medical services, and much more. Books are a great addition to this event.

Planning Commission supports microbreweries; sets hearings on sign ordinance & allowing chickens in village

By Steve Horton Fowlerville Village Planning Commission had a full agenda at its meeting last Tuesday night. To start off, a public hearing was held on whether the existing zoning ordinance for the Core Business District (the Downtown) and the General Business District be amended to allow micro-breweries. In addition, discussion was held on a possible change to the sign ordinance and whether or not to allow residents to house chickens within the village limits. Public hearings on those two issues were set for Tuesday, March 10, at 7 p.m. During the hearing on the micro-brewery ordinance, Paul Harmon, owner of Harmon Real Estate and president of the Fowlerville Business Association, noted that a client had inquired about locating this type of business in the Downtown Business District. It was discovered that the existing ordinance didn’t specifically deal with this sort of enterprise. “That deal hasn’t materialized,” Harmon said, “but we wanted to present this to the planning commission for consideration. I think this type of business would be a good fit. You could have it as a special use rather than a permitted use.” Ron Daly, president of the Village’s Downtown Development Authority, also voiced support of having an ordinance that allowed a micro-brewery. “I have been to other communities that offer this type of business,” he said. “I think it would be a great draw and would help bring people to the community.” Later in the meeting, the Village planner, Kaitlin MallowMarcon of LSL Planning in her report on the proposal, recommended approval “as long as it follows general guidelines.” Those guidelines that she listed include having a parking ratio similar to the one in place for restaurants (one space for every 60 square feet of usable space), that the business have a state license for a micro-brewery, that no more than 75 percent of the floor space could be used for production equipment and operations, and that this equipment not be visible from the sidewalk. “The state has a license for microbreweries that limits the amount of commercial sales, and one for traditional breweries,” she explained. “We feel that a traditional brewery, were it to be located here, is an industrial operation. “The reason for limiting production to 75 percent is because the goal of the Downtown Business District is to have businesses that have frequent in and out traffic,” she said. “A microbrewery would have tables to sell the product to the public, and could offer sandwiches and other food (although this is not a requirement in the ordinance).” She also explained that the parking-ratio requirement would be met in a downtown location if public parking is available within 300 feet of the location. This is the same one that’s in effect for a proposed restaurant. In the General Business Districts, a parking lot would need to be large enough to fulfill this requirement. The Commission approved a motion that recommended the village council amend the ordinance to allow this use in both business districts. During the ‘Call to the Public’, Harmon supported a modification in the existing sign ordinance. He noted that at a recent Zoning Board of Appeals hearing (held by the village council), Maria’s School of Dance had been turned down on its variance request for a new sign on the South Grand Avenue frontage of their business. The dance studio also has an entrance on East Grand River. The owners had sought a 72 square-foot sign, larger than the maximum 40 square feet that’s allowed in the existing ordinance for a sign that’s attached to the exterior wall. Harmon presented commission members with a color drawing of the business’s South Grand storefront and the proposed sign, attached to the overhang, that was rejected for being too large. He noted that the South Grand frontage was once two stores and is 50 feet long, while the business entrance on East Grand River was another storefront that is 20 feet in length. Harmon suggested that the one-size-fits-all approach penalizes businesses with longer frontage, noting that the village has many different-sized buildings. He suggested that, as a starting off point for discussion, the 40 squarefoot requirement be kept for a building that’s 20 feet wide or smaller. “For every additional 10-foot in frontage, the sign could be an additional 15 square feet in size,” he noted. “The Downtown has a number of vacancies,” Harmon said. “We are getting interest. Signs are a key component. Owners want their business to be visible to the public. It’s difficult to bring them here if they feel they aren’t getting the necessary exposure.” In her report on the agenda item, Mallow-Marcon noted that the sign ordinance was rewritten in 2013. “Change can take time to get used to,” she said, but added, “Mistakes can also be made. In the Business Core District (the Downtown), the wall signs are limited to 40 square feet, while free-standing ground signs are allowed a larger size since they tend to be

further away from the street. If a business has frontages on Rep. Vaupel begins new term, two streets, it allowed two signs. “The purpose of the sign is to be visible from the street and announces office contact information sidewalk, not from far away,” she said, adding that the goal is State Rep. Hank Vaupel began his new term of office last to keep the Downtown charming, and not have massive signs Wednesday when he was ceremoniously sworn into office at the Capitol by Michigan State Supreme Court Chief Justice or numerous ones that create sign litter. She said that other variance requests on signs had been Robert Young Jr. “I was so pleased to welcome my family and friends to recently turned down by council, without becoming an issue, Lansing as I officially begin my work for the people of the adding that (perhaps) because Maria’s School of Dance is th 47 House District,” said Vaupel, R-Fowlerville. owned by someone well-known and liked in the community Vaupel also announced his office contact information for this accommodation was being sought. That comment brought a quick rebuke from commission constituents. “As I begin my first term as representative I want to ensure member Susan Spagnuolo who said, in strong terms, that this that residents know how to contact me with their ideas and proposed change is not a case of “playing favorites.” “There are two buildings here that were combined into one concerns,” Vaupel said. “I would not be here without them business,” she said. “If she (the owner) decided to separate so it is my top priority to continue to stand for the ideas and them, she’d be entitled to two signs. Stop hassling the lady issues that are important to the constituents of Livingston for no reason with nonsensical rules. Let her have a sign to County.” Residents can contact Rep. Vaupel in Lansing at (517) promote her business.” Harmon said, in comments after the meeting, that the requested 373-8835, at P.O. Box 30014, Lansing, MI 48909-7514 or by change involves both “proportionality” and “aesthetics.” email athankvaupel@house.mi.gov. “A 40 square-foot sign is proportionate and looks right Legislative staffers Cindy Denby and Sue Dolato will on a smaller storefront, but a sign that size can look odd and join Vaupel in his Lansing office.

Senator Hune takes oath of office last week, begins new 4-year term

Knights of Columbus, continued

Sen. Joe Hune, R-Hamburg officially began a new fouryear term when he was sworn in as senator for the 22nd District last Wednesday. The ceremony took place at the state Capitol, with Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert P. Young, Jr. administering the oath of office. Hune was joined on the Senate floor by his wife, Marcia, and his family. “I am humbled and honored to serve the hard-working people of the 22nd Senate District,” Hune said. “My commitment to my constituents and to all Michigan residents will be further proven through legislation and policy to get Michigan back to its economic potential.” *** Hune assigned committee chairmanships Sen. Joe Hune announced last Wednesday that he will continue to chair the Senate Agriculture Committee, as well as the Senate Insurance Committee. Hune, R-Hamburg, has chaired both committees for the previous four years. Coming off a victory for a second four-year term in the Michigan Senate, Hune has retained his post as the ranking member of the committee. Joining him on the Senate Agriculture Committee are three Republicans—Sens. Mike Green, R-Mayville; Wayne Schmidt, R-Traverse City; and Darwin Booher, R-Evart, as well as one Democrat—Virgil Smith, D-Detroit. The Senate Insurance Committee consists of Republican Sens. Hune, Jack Brandenburg, R-Harrison Township; Schmidt; Margaret O’Brien, R-Portage; Ken Horn, R-Frankenmuth; and Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge. Additionally, the three Democratic members are Sens. Smith; Steve Bieda, D-Warren; and Coleman Young, D-Detroit. Upon hearing the announcement, Hune offered the following remarks: “I’m humbled and honored to receive a second appointment to chair the Senate Agriculture and Insurance committees. These committees have brought forth great debate and produced legislation to continue to move Michigan forward. “In the new term, my colleagues and I will continue our productive dialogue and will further champion legislation to improve job prospects and the economy for the residents of Michigan. “On behalf of all the committee members, we are humbled and grateful that Senate Majority Leader Meekhof and the people of Michigan have seen fit for us to serve another term on these great committees.” Hune will also be a member of the Senate Regulatory Reform and Energy and Technology committees, and vice chair of the Senate Health Policy Committee. The committees will meet, on average, once per week and meetings are open to the public. Committee times will be posted on the Michigan Legislature webpage at www. legislature.mi.gov, or feel free to call Hune’s office at 517373-2420 for further information.
