Area residents to celebrate Christmas this Thursday
Area residents will be joining millions of others from around the world to celebrate the Christmas holiday this Thursday. Most churches will be holding Candlelight Services on Christmas Eve. Among those taking part in the holiday are members of the First Baptist Church of Fowlerville, located on South Grand Avenue. The local Baptist Church was organized at a meeting held in the school house (then located south of the hotel) on May 27, 1869 and consisted of 13 members. It was decided that this organization should be known as the First Baptist Church and Society of Fowlerville. The legalization of this organization was effected on June 29 of that year before Ralph Fowler, Justice of the Peace, and duly recorded on July 12 at the county clerk’s office. Ground had been given by Fowler with the understanding that a church was to be erected on it. Accordingly, the first Baptist Church was built in the summer of 1873 on North Ann Street, north of Power Street. Because the approach was inconvenient, the congregation voted in 1875 to exchange the church lot with A.D. Benjamin for one on (East) Grand River and Maple Street. The building was then moved to that location. In 1890, three lots located on South Grand Avenue and South Ann Street, were purchased from Mrs. Joanne Palmerton (Ralph Fowler’s daughter). Work began shortly afterwards on a new, larger
building. As it was being done during the centenary year of the Baptist mission, it was known as the Cary Centennial Church. William Cary had inaugurated the “great modern missionary movement” in 1792 which resulted in The Baptist Missionary Society. The formal opening of services at the new church were held March 4-5, 1894. The church has been expanded and modernized in the 120 years since then and has become an historical landmark in the village.

Smith Elementary School News
Student of the Week – Michael Payton
By Darian Huettner Michael Payton has been selected as the Student of the Week! Michael is a senior at FHS this year and lives with his Mom, Dad, and two brothers Rob and Devin. He enjoys drag racing with his family. His senior year schedule consists of English 12, Ceramics, Art 4, Geometry, Consumer Auto, and Gym. His favorite teacher is Mr. Hanna because he’s known him since he was in Smith Elementary. His favorite class is Ceramics and Art because he has the opportunity to create what he feels like creating. Michael’s favorite thing about FHS is the caring teachers and staff. If there was one thing he would change about FHS it would be the temperature because everyone always complains about it. Some more favorites that Michael appreciates are the movie Avatar, the TV show American Horror Story, and the game Minecraft. Michael was nominated by his 12th grade teachers. Mrs. Hesch commented, “Michael is a great student and is always creative and thinking. He does a great job helping others out and wants to help himself.” Mrs. Houtteman stated, “Michael brightens our 1st hour every morning with a smile and kind words. He is also very helpful and works hard.” Outside of school Michael participates in Art Club and works at Tomato Brothers. After graduation, Michael would like to attend a community college or MCTI (Michigan Career and Technical Institute). One thing he will miss most about high school is all of his friends since he probably won’t see most of them after graduation. Some advice Michael would give to underclassmen would be, “Never give up and don’t fail any classes.” Michael is glad to be nominated Student of the Week and FHS is privileged to have such an outstanding student attend their school. Congratulations Michael and keep up your hard work!

Holiday events
The holiday season is upon us here in Southeast Michigan. This is truly one of my favorite times of year. Celebrating Christmas with our families is one of the most important pastimes. Fortunately, we are blessed to live within communities that enjoy celebrating the occasion. It is also a wonderful time to give back to our community. Many families are not as fortunate as others, and the donation of much-needed goods can truly make their holiday season. Gleaners Food Bank in Howell is one such organization. Every dollar you donate provides three meals to a hungry person. 94 percent of every dollar donated is spent on food distribution or food programs. More information can be found at their website, www.gcfb.org, or (313) 923-3535. The Livingston County United Way similarly takes donations that are especially needed during the Christmas season. Further information can be found at www.lcunitedway.org or at (810) 494-3000. Additionally, many of you are aware of my strong support for the Family Impact Center in Fowlerville. Located at 735 N. Grand Ave., the Family Impact Center works with area churches, businesses, and organizations to provide services such as assistance with practical needs (household items and clothing) and problem-solving skills, Bible studies and mentoring and spiritual support. When shopping for those meaningful gifts, please don’t forget about our local merchants throughout Livingston County that have just what you are looking for this Christmas season. If you are looking to celebrate the birth of Christ by joining a congregation in worship, there are many churches of different denominations around our great district. Check one of them out; you’ll be sure to meet many great people. I hope everyone has a chance to spend some much-needed time with their loved ones this Christmas season and is able to partake in some of the numerous events we have available to us this great time of year. If you would like more information on events, please don’t hesitate to contact my office at 1-855-JOE-HUNE, or email us at SenJHune@senate.michigan.gov and my staff will be happy to assist you.

Merry Christmas to All!
Here is a poem by one of my mother’s favorite poets. (And mine too!) Edgar A. Guest. It is called Bethlehem and what a wonderful time to read and celebrate the message of this poem. No doubt, they thought in Bethlehem the world would never hear of them. They had an inn where sometimes stayed, the wandering caravans of trade, And near it was a stable kept, Wherein at night the cattle slept; But lost to splendor and renown, Theirs was a little wayside town.
The caravans of trade moved on, The great officials soon were gone. Nor did it once occur to them, That fame had come to Bethlehem. The poor innkeeper never knew He should be long remembered, too, Because on that first Christmas morn, ‘Twas in his stable Christ was born. Merry Christmas to all, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noel, Froehliche Weihnachten,
Fowlerville wrestling enjoys some success at recent tournaments
On Saturday, Dec. 13, Fowlerville Wrestling enjoyed some individual success. Placers at the Lansing Eastern Tournament includes Kyle Briggs and Bobby Dixon 7th, Jacob Dixon 6th, Cody Persons 4th and Mason Litz was the lone champion. At the JV tournament in Lakewood, Devon Smith pinned his way to his championship. Congratulations guys!!!!
--Card of Thanks--
One night a man and woman worn, Asked to be sheltered till the morn. The keeper of the inn replied: “My every room is occupied. There is no space that I can spare.” The man said: “We must rest somewhere. What of the stable, yonder, sir? There I can make a bed for her.”
Thank you to the Fowlerville Rotary and Fowlerville Business Association for the wonderful day of festivities and the special parade in my honor on December 6, 2014. It was wonderful to be able to have so many great children ride with me on the big sleigh. I would also like to thank the Fowlerville Fire Association for providing such a nice place for me to visit with the area children before and after the parade. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!
“Yes,” said the keeper, “go ahead! Toss down some straw and make a bed.” No doubt he was surprised at morn To hear a baby had been born, And shepherds wandering from afar, Guided to Bethlehem by a star, Had come that little Child to see, As if important He
Santa
‘Twas the Night Before ‘Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house
Not a creature was praying, not one in the house. Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care In hopes that Jesus would not come there.
The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head. And mom in her rocker with the baby on her lap Was watching The Late Show while I took a nap.
When out of the east there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here! With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray, I knew in a moment this must be THE DAY!
The light of His face made me cover my head.
It was Jesus! Returning just like He said. And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth, I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.
In the Book of Life which He held in His hand
Was written the name of every saved man. He spoke not a word as He searched for my name; When He said, “It’s not here,” my head hung in shame.
The people whose names had been written with love
He gathered to take to His Father above. With those who were ready, He rose without a sound While all the rest were left standing around.
I fell to my knees, but it was too late;
I had waited too long and thus sealed my fate. I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight; Oh, if only we had been ready tonight!
In the words of this poem the meaning is clear;
The coming of Jesus is drawing near. There’s only one life and when comes the last call, We’ll find that the Bible was true, after all. --Author unknown Remember to sing “Happy Birthday” to the Birthday Child. After all, whose Birthday is it, anyway? — Olivia Verfaillie

By Steve Horton Fowlerville Village officials, the school educators, and community volunteers have enlisted in Operation Opiate, an effort to educate both the young and old on the dangers of heroin and opiate-based prescription drug addiction. Francine Sumner, the Chief Probation Officer at Livingston County’s 53rd District Court, made a presentation on the program at a Fowlerville Village Council workshop held last Monday, Dec. 13. Members of the Fowlerville Downtown Development Authority’s Strategic Planning Committee and Handy Township Board officials received special invitations to attend, with several doing so. “Since Sept. 1st we’ve had 29 residents in the county overdose from heroin, with 15 of them dying,” said Sumner. “That’s devastating.” Two of those fatalities, it was noted, were Fowlerville area residents. Fowlerville Police Chief Thomas Couling, who organized the presentation at the request of council trustee Kenneth Bielous, told the audience that the school will be inviting Sumner to address the staff at an upcoming training session, with the purpose of updating them on the overall situation, educating them on symptoms of heroin use, and explaining prevention efforts. The Operation Opiate presentation (which employs a ‘scared straight’ approach) will also be used as a resource in the high school health classes, with Sumner and young addicts addressing students (in graphic detail) on the dangers of use and addiction, and its destructive consequences. This presentation will be in addition to the current lessons on heroin and other drugs that have been taught in the health classes for several years. Also planned is a Community Forum that will be hosted at the Fowlerville United Brethren Church early next year. Sumner will give a similar talk at that gathering. The forum will be aimed at parents and other adults, as well as younger people, with the goal of further educating the public on the situation and what members of the community can do to combat the problem. Sumner, who has been employed with the county judicial system for the past 20 years, told the audience that Operation Opiate began six years ago in reaction to the noticeable increase in opiate addiction occurring in the county. She gave

figures on the number of deaths that have occurred in the county from opiate overdoses in recent years and stated that more and more crimes (thefts and robberies) are committed by addicts seeking money to fund their habit. While that trend is alarming, she pointed out that law enforcement authorities are seeing an increase in the amount of illegal use and overdoses occurring among the younger, school-aged teens. “The average age of people coming through the judicial system because of opiate addition is now 19 years,” she said, “But the trend is going downward in age.” Sumner listed a number of causes: --The ease in which heroin can be obtained, usually by someone driving to metro Detroit to buy the drug from a dealer. --The higher potency of heroin which makes it more addictive and also more lethal. --The drug’s relatively low price. --The prevalence of social media which allows an easier means of locating and purchasing the drug. “Back in the 1970’s, when organized crime controlled the supply, it was scarcer because they wanted to make more money,” Sumner said. “The cost for a bag was $30 and it contained around 17 percent pure heroin. Now, it’s $7 to $10 and 67 percent pure. That makes it more addictive, and the withdrawal symptoms are more severe which prompts users to do whatever they can to get another high. Because of this potency, if someone has been off the drug for awhile (often due to being in jail, probation, or in treatment) and then takes an injection at the dosage they’ve used before, the body can’t tolerate it. They OD and sometimes die.” --The ease in obtaining opiate-based prescription pain relief drugs, including Vicodin and Oxycodone. “After 14 days of taking an opiate, the brain chemistry creates a reverse effect. Instead of relieving pain, your brain signals that you’re still in pain even when the pain has gone,” Sumner explained. “When someone can get a prescription of 120 pills for 30 days, it’s easier for them to get addicted.” The added dimension to the problem is someone gaining access to the prescription and then selling the pills or using them to get high. “Livingston County is the second highest county in prescribing opiate-based prescriptions,” she added. “Shiawassee County is the highest and that’s because they

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, December 21, 2014 – Page 9 have a high number of elderly residents living there. So the potential for opiate addiction is not just with young people.” Operation Opiate, as detailed by Sumner, is a multifaceted program. “We undertake education and prevention efforts for those in jail or on probation for possession or for crimes caused by the addiction,” she said. “We also make presentations at the schools in the county. We use inmates, often dressed in their orange jail outfits, who tell the students about their personal experience. We allow them to talk about anytime they wish, with the understanding that the information will not be used against them.” Based on the stories and information Sumner included in her presentation on Monday night to council, many of the details paint a “shocking and jarring” picture. This includes young girls often getting hooked by boyfriends, then eventually trading sex for drugs; users stealing from family or committing robberies to fund their drug habit; the severe pain, along with vomiting, and loss of bodily functions that occurs during withdrawal; drivers getting into auto accidents while high on heroin; the estrangement with family and friends due to an addict’s constant drug use; the difficulty in kicking the habit without help; and the likely outcomes of imprisonment and possible death with continued or reoccurring use. “Addicts have a term called ‘Chasing the Dragon’,” noted Sumner. “The first few times they take the drug, the result is an incredible high. It’s unlike anytime they have experienced, but after that they need to keep using the drug so they won’t get sick.” Another component of dealing with addiction is the county’s Drug Court. “We’re unique in having this tool,” said Sumner. “I can work outside the probation officer box and that’s important to me. It’s a joint felony and misdemeanor court and includes people with multiple alcohol convictions as well as drug-related offenses. We work on education and preventing future use. The people I see who have been on opiates or other drugs are tested five to seven times a week and have to show up to see me. I let them know if they fail to show up for an appearance, a bench warrant will be issued and they’ll end up in jail.” She noted that a disappointment in Operation Opiate was an after-care program for families that was set up in cooperation with Brighton Hospital a few years ago. “This was weekly session offered by the hospital and was offered as a free service to families of an addict,” she said. “Each week a staff member sat there. No one showed up and it was discontinued.” Sumner attributed this to the stigma associated with heroin use, adding that it is a major obstacle in treatment efforts. “Heroin use can happen to anyone and any family, regardless of race, income, social status, or where they live,” she said. “Addiction knows no bounds. There have been instances when the paramedics and law enforcement were called to a home and the parent hid the needle or the pills and lied about the situation. They tried to cover up for the addict. It should not be a cause of shame. We need to remove the stigma so the community can come together to solve this problem.” A young lady, who was at the meeting and is on probation, provided details of her addiction. She told of the hopelessness it caused, how it ruined the life she’d known as a student, and how “prison saved my life.” A couple of other people in the audience also spoke of having a family member hooked on heroin, emphasizing the fact that if can happen to anyone or to any family. *** Couling, during his remarks, said that there are three strategies used in dealing with heroin and other drug use. One is education in the schools and community with the goal of prevention, the other is enforcement to apprehend those selling the drug and curtail the supply, and the third is
treatment of addicts who are in the corrections system. He noted that, up until now, the Fowlerville School superintendents have not invited Operation Opiate to address teachers during a training session or to talk to students in the classroom. Couling said that he was heartened by Superintendent Wayne Roedel “giving a green light,” adding, “People from the program will now talk with teachers about the signs of heroin use, and Francine (Sumner) and young addicts will bring their message to students in the health classes, as they have been doing at the four other school districts in the county. The other component we need is the Community Forum to inform parents and other adults about the problem and work on solutions.” Roedel, contacted the next day, provided background on the matter from the school’s perspective. “About five-to-six years ago, Jeff Soli, the school liaison officer and I attended a meeting on Operation Opiate,” he said. “I did not feel it was well-defined at the time. It was primarily using a ‘scared straight’ approach and, as the high school principal, I did not recommend it to the superintendent and board. A main reason for that decision was that we already had two of the components in place. We have a great health education teacher who incorporates information about heroin and other drugs in her seventh and ninth grade classes. In addition, Officer Soli offers an educational session to our staff on heroin and other drugs every couple of years. “We also have the enforcement component in place with Officer Soli and the drug dog and do random searches at our school buildings,” Roedel added. “So, the education and enforcement components are already being addressed. However, as we’ve continued this conversation, the program seems better defined. They’ll be presenting a program to our staff during one of our staff meetings. We’ll also use Operation Opiate as a resource for our high school health classes to enhance the lessons we’re already giving to our students. “As for the third component, the Community Forum, we indicated that we’ll be happy to promote it with our student families, but we preferred the meeting be held at a location other than a school building,” he said. Roedel gave a couple of reasons for this request. “Officer Soli and his drug-detection dog have done an outstanding job in keeping drugs off the school grounds,” he said. “(Also) I do not feel we have a heroin problem occurring on the school grounds or with most of our students. I don’t feel students have an easy access to drugs during the school hours or that our students are high on heroin while at school. “What happens when kids go home and are in the family environment, I don’t know,” he added. “I do feel we have a heroin problem in Livingston County and this is a concern to me and other school officials. But I don’t think it’s centered on 16 to 17 years olds in high school. If you look at the statistics, it’s occurring mainly in the post-high school age group—18 and 19 on up into the mid-to-late 20’s. I understand the goal (of Operation Opiate) is to provide education in junior high school and high school to prevent young people from going down that road. We support prevention efforts. “The reason we requested the Forum be held outside the school grounds is so this is perceived as a community problem and not merely a school problem,” Roedel explained. “Addiction can occur at any age-- from early adolescence into adulthood-and is not just occurring with high school-aged students.”

By Anna Nicholson Anna Nicole Hendges is currently a senior at Webberville High School. Hendges is the daughter of Teresa Ellsworth and is the only child. She has attended Webberville Schools for four years. Her favorite class was graphic design with Dean Wilson. Some of Hendges’ extracurricular activities during high school were archery and showing pigs in 4-H at the Ingham County Fair, FFA, cheerleading, softball, and track. One of Hendges’ favorite sports is softball because she played it in her sophomore year of high school; however, she is very proud of what she has accomplished in exhibiting swine at the fair. “Anna is a prime example of what hard work and determination in the show ring can accomplish,” said FFA advisor Colleen Scott Keiser. “I am very impressed with the quality of livestock Anna produces and her abilities as a senior showman.” Hendges’ finished in the top ten in senior showmanship and won the market class with both her hogs. Hendges says that one of her strengths in the classroom is math. “Anna brings a great sense of humor, a great smile, and a great attitude to the classroom,” said consumer math teacher, Christina Haskell. “Anna will be remembered as a sweet and friendly young lady who always has a smile on her face.” One of Hendges’ favorite memories is when she first started attending Webberville. The reason being is because everybody was friendly, nice, and welcoming. “It was smaller community with a smaller school where I can get one on one help from the teachers, and everybody is always willing to help you to be all that you can be,” she said. She says that she holds no regrets because she believes that coming to Webberville was a very wise decision to make. “Anna has become more confident in all she does,” said Haskell. “Hopefully I am teaching Anna how to be a financially successful and responsible as an adult.” Fellow senior Haylee Terrasi-Klempner has advice for Hendges, as well. “I would advise Anna to work as hard as she can this year to make her senior year as successful as possible,” said Terrasi-Klempner. “Anna is always trying to find a way to make her friends laugh and she is always there when I need her no matter what the situation is. I will always remember Anna and the fun times we had together and how we can make each other smile. I could ask Anna anything and she is always there to listen.”

Letter to the Editor:
Every year at Christmas time we have to endure the threats of a few that want to take Christ out of the holiday named after Him. I have recently heard of a group that is erecting a satanic “Snaketivity Scene” in front of our State Capital in protest of Christmas. We always hear of towns being threatened with a lawsuit if they allow a Nativity Scene to be placed on public land. Retailers make decisions to not allow their employees to wish the people out Christmas shopping “Merry Christmas.” The list goes on and on. I come from a time when the Christmas songs that are in our Hymn Books in church were song at our Christmas concerts in the public schools I attended. From grade school to high school the music was about the Christ child whose birth we celebrate. I remember one Christmas concert in particular when I was in the high school chorus, we always ended our program with the Halleluiah Chorus. We were singing for a school assembly and, when the music started for our final number, the audience was expected to stand in reverence for the King of kings and Lord of lords. Well, the group we were singing to was mostly students, and they didn’t immediately stand. The director stopped the music, paused while the audience stood, and we started over again. We sure have come a long way in the last 40 years or so. Luke 2:10-11 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. The Angel that appeared unto the shepherds in the field the day of Christ’s birth told them that “Unto you” a Savior is born. My friend, the Savior whose birth is acknowledged around the world this time of year was born to YOU. He wasn’t born to a government, or a legal system, or any other entity, He came to save mankind. Many may try to remove the Christ of Christmas from the public square, but they cannot take Him from the hearts of the vast majority of Americans that know what this season is all about. So this Christmas season, get your Bible out and read Luke: Chapter Two to your family, go to church and celebrate the birth of our Savior. Look the clerks at the stores and restaurants in the eyes, smile, and wish them a Merry Christmas. We can’t control how others react to this season, but we don’t need to let the “Politically Correct” crowd take our Joy away! Remember, He is the reason for the season, and wise men still seek Him! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Pastor John Ashley, Antrim Baptist Church
