Community Bible Study offered to local residents at St. John’s Lutheran Church

Following the great experience of studying “The Story” together last winter, St. John’s Lutheran Church welcomes members of the community to join in our next study, “The God We Can Know.” It will be held on Mondays, February 16 through March 30. There will be a daytime session at 10:30 a.m. and an evening session at 6:45 p.m. to accommodate scheduling needs; select the meeting time that works best for you. “God does not desire us to have private and secret faith lives. We are made for community. And God does not want us to be confused or unknowing, but desires us to feel and to share the amazing way in which God is active in our lives. In order for this to happen, we have to know God. It is our hope that this study will help lead people to a deeper knowledge and experience with him,” says Pastor Diane Greble. Members of the greater community are welcome to come and be a part of this seven-week offering. There is a $9 suggested donation to cover the cost of materials. Interested persons are asked to reserve a space by contacting St. John’s Lutheran Church at 517-223-9108 or at stjohnsfowlerville@ yahoo.com. Please indicate how many copies of the study guide you would like as well as whether you will attend the morning or the evening sessions.

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. *** Science Night is on February 19th from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Smith Elementary. Please join us for an evening of exploring, investigating and family fun! *** Michigan State University is hosting their Annual Science Festival, April 15 – 19th!

Senator Stabenow seeking to stop U.S. Postal Service closures

U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow last week introduced an amendment that would stop the U.S. Postal Service from continuing the closure of facilities for the next two years. The closure of these facilities, she noted, will cause delays in services that will adversely impact Michigan families and small businesses. Sen. Stabenow joined Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and 11 other senators in authoring this amendment to legislation currently before the Senate. The amendment would also re-establish overnight delivery standards for first-class mail. “The post office provides a critical basic service to everyone no matter where you live. Closing facilities and cutting services will lead to delays that will harm Michigan businesses and families,” Stabenow said. “I remain committed to stopping closures and ending a requirement by law that the Postal Service overfund retiree health care, which is the biggest reason for its recent operating losses.” The Postal Service announced in July 2014 that they would begin consolidating facilities. So far, 82 mail processing facilities are being consolidated, including mail processing centers in Kingsford, Kalamazoo, and Lansing. Last November, Sen. Stabenow sent a letter to the Postmaster General asking for the consolidations and closures to be delayed until studies are completed and customers are informed and given an opportunity to share concerns. Sen. Stabenow also sponsored the Postal Service Protection Act last year, which ends a requirement by law that the Postal Service overfund retiree health care at a cost of $5 billion a year. This unnecessarily burdensome requirement that no other business must follow is responsible for nearly all of the Postal Service’s recent operating losses. This legislation also allows the Postal Service to modernize with new products and services.

Letter of Appreciation

The family of Tina M. Bailer would like to thank the community for the outpouring acts of support and sympathy during our time of loss. In addition, we would like to express our appreciation to the congregation of the United Bretheren Church and Pastor Mark Wilson for their support and special guidance in helping Tina’s children. Also a special thank you to Scott and Kim Niblack of Niblack Funeral Home for their compassionate assistance given at this difficult time.

By Steve Horton Further work on drilling the new well at Garden Lane, near Gregory Road, has been put ‘on hold’ due to tests on water samples that show higher-than-allowed radium level. The Fowlerville Village Council discussed the matter at last Monday’s meeting and decided to have Wolverine Engineers & Surveyors, the village’s engineer, come to a future meeting to provide additional information, along with possible remedies or courses of action. The Village, in conjunction with the LDFA (Local Development Financing Authority, has been working on the project for nearly two years, although the site has been earmarked for a new well since 2001. Back then a test well was drilled, with preliminary results indicating that the site would likely yield a substantial volume flow and provide an ample long-term supply.

Village officials did not proceed any further with the project in 2001, but considered the site as the best location for a future well. When local officials decided the time had arrived for a new well in early 2013, they learned that the original one-acre site no longer meet the setback footage for the well and well house as currently required by the Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality (DEQ). So, additional land was purchased. A new test well needed to be drilled and that was work was done early last year with Northern Pump and Well Company serving as the general contractor. The results (as reported to council) confirmed that the well offered excellent flow, and should meet the village’s needs for many years. Part of the reason officials proceeded with this new well was due to the wells off of Brower Road, in the southeast quadrant of the village, having high iron content. The plan was to utilize the new well for much of the water supply, along with the wells at the Community Park, and use the Brower Road wells on a more limited basis. The council and LDFA board reached an agreement to split the estimated $440,000 cost which would include the expenses for drilling the production well, building a well house, and hooking the well into the nearby water line. The engineering cost (by Wolverine) would be around 10 percent of the total cost. The proposed production well, as well as the enlarged site, received approval from the DEQ, with the plan being to have either a 12 inch or 16 inch casing, and to drill to a depth of approximately 280 feet with a proposed capacity of 600 gallons per minute. A couple of the conditions required by DEQ, before granting final approval, were that an aquifer test be completed to determine the safe withdrawal rate of the water-bearing formation and that a chemical analysis of water samples be performed. The testing of the water samples needed to be done through a certified drinking water laboratory. Further progress on the project had been delayed for several weeks while this analysis was done. What was found from this analysis, stated Village manager Kathryn Arledge in her report to council was that “the Radium levels are higher than the required recommended ranges.” Arledge noted that none of the other Village wells exceed the maximum level, so the current water supply is safe. Her report included the following information on Radium, as explained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “Radium is a naturally-occurring radioactive metal. It’s most common isotopes are radium-226, radium-224, and radium-228. Radium is a radionuclide formed by the decay of uranium and thorium in the environment. It occurs at low levels in virtually all rock, soil, water, plants, and animals. “Radium occurs naturally in the environment. As a decay product of uranium and thorium, it is common in virtually all rocks, oil, and water. Usually concentrations are very low. However, geologic processes can form concentrations of naturally radioactive elements, especially uranium and radium. Radium and its salts are soluble in water. As a result, groundwater in areas where concentrations of radium are high in surrounding bedrock typically has relatively high radium content.” Council trustee Jerry Bell had asked that the report be brought up for discussion at the meeting. He reviewed the timeline of the project since June of 2013, noting that the project has been going on for 18 months and the Village has already spent several thousand dollars. He asked what the next step would be. “There’s no hurry on this,” said Arledge. “We can cap the well and investigate our options. There’s got to be other communities that this has happened to.” She added that a radium level fluctuates, so the level can vary from test to test. “We were told that a water treatment plant that removes iron is an option,” she told council. It was explained that radium adheres to iron, so this contaminant would be removed during the treatment process. However, a treatment plant-- which has been discussed in previous years by previous councils-- is expensive. Village president Wayne Copeland noted that other, neighboring communities have these treatment plants. “Mason, Perry, and Howell all have one,” he said. “A treatment facility would take out the minerals, including iron and radium. Along with the radium, it would help alleviate the problem we have with high iron content in our Brower Road wells. “My feeling is that this (a treatment plant) is going to be a requirement for every water system in the state within the next several years,” Copeland added. He said that, if this option was pursued by council, “What we need to find out is the cost, how many years we’ve got, and then start saving up the money so that the plant could conceivably be built without having to substantially raise water rates to pay for it.” Council trustee Ken Bielous supported the immediate step of having a representative from Wolverine attend a future meeting. “Let’s bring in our engineers to give us a presentation, and get us educated,” he said. “We can’t make a decision on this without being educated on the matter.”

Join the Heart Hunt challenge on Feb. 7-21; help save a life

Every year, approximately 100 people in Livingston County die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest, which is the sudden, unexpected loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. Sudden Cardiac Arrest usually results from an electrical disturbance in the heart that disrupts its pumping action, stopping blood flow to the rest of your body. 90% of victims die due to the lack of a quick medical response. For each minute defibrillation is delayed, the chance of survival is reduced approximately 10%. Studies show the swift use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and CPR can improve a victim’s chance of survival by 50%. Leadership Livingston Class of 2015 would like to help prevent deaths from Sudden Cardiac Arrest and is inviting the community to participate in the Heart Hunt, a county-wide effort to locate and map all the AEDs in locations accessible by the public. With assistance from the Livingston County EMS, the results of the hunt will create a map showing all the device locations and subsequently the areas where there are not enough AEDs. The Heart Hunters will also load the AED location in a free cell phone app which is designed to allow first responders to quickly find an AED for use during the rescue of a victim of Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Leadership Livingston class of 2015 is raising money to purchase AEDs to place in county gap areas. Through a grant from the Livingston County Community Foundation, they are able to match donations up to $10,000 to purchase needed AEDs. Sponsorships for new AEDs will also be available. The Heart Hunt will take place February 7-21, 2015. Volunteers (16 years and older) will need an Android phone or iPhone, and will participate in teams throughout Livingston County. How can you get involved? 1. Go to Hearthunt.org and sign up to take part in the hunt or call 517-295-4009. Josephine Jabara is the Team Leader for Fowlerville and can be reached at 517-5863017.” It’s important the we get volunteers,” she said. 2. To report an AED location, e-mail join@hearthunt. org 3. Help us purchase additional AEDs with your donation. Go to www.hearthunt.org to donate or send your check to Cleary University, Attn.: Grace Farley,

3750 Cleary Drive, Howell, MI 48843. Please put AED in the subject line.

It has recently been brought to my attention that several individuals are calling local residents impersonating officers of the law from the Howell Police Department or other local law enforcement agencies. Callers attempt to convince residents that there is a warrant out for their arrest and they must send money immediately, usually requesting that the potential victim send a money order or green dot money card, or risk being arrested. Sadly, scams like these are nothing new. For years, fraudulent individuals or organizations have attempted to perpetrate their schemes on Livingston County residents, and we must all remain vigilant to avoid becoming a victim. Recently my office checked with the Howell Police Department, and they confirmed that they would never make a call requesting money of any kind. Furthermore, residents are advised to never give out any personal or financial information over the phone to someone they don’t know. If you have any further questions or concerns about being a victim of this scam, please contact your local police department, or call 911 to make a police report. The Fowlerville Police Department can be reached at 517-223-8711; City of Howell Police Department can be reached at 517-546-3500; the Livingston County Sheriff’s office can be reached at 517546-9111; and the Michigan Attorney General’s office can be reached at 517-373-1110. Also feel free to contact my office toll-free at 1-855-JOEHUNE or by email at SenJHune@senate.michigan.gov for further information. *** Sen. Joe Hune is chair of both the Senate Agriculture and Insurance Committees.

Fowlerville student-athlete among the finalists for MHSAA awards

The 120 finalists for the Michigan High School Athletic Association’s Scholar-Athlete Awards for the 2014-15 school year have been announced. Among them is Tyler Burkhart, a senior at Fowlerville High School who runs cross country and is on the track team. The program, celebrating its 26th anniversary, has recognized student-athletes since the 1989-90 school year and again this winter will honor 32 individuals from MHSAA member schools who participate in at least one sport in which the Association sponsors a postseason tournament. Michigan Farm Bureau underwrites the Scholar-Athlete Awards and will present a $1,000 scholarship to each recipient. Since the beginning of the program, 640 scholarships have been awarded. Scholarships will be presented proportionately by school classification, with 12 scholarships to be awarded to Class A student-athletes, six female and six male; eight scholarships will be awarded to Class B student-athletes, four female and four male; six scholarships will be awarded to Class C student-athletes, three female and three male; and four scholarships will be awarded to Class D student-athletes, two female and two male. In addition, the final two scholarships will be awarded at-large to minority recipients, regardless of school size. Fowlerville is a Class B school district. Every MHSAA member high school could submit as many applications as there are scholarships available in its classification, and could have more than one finalist. This year, 1,584 applications were received. All applicants will be presented with certificates commemorating their achievement. The applications were judged by a 58-member committee of school coaches, counselors, faculty members, administrators and board members from MHSAA member schools. Selection of the 32 scholarship recipients will take place in early February. Class C and D scholarship recipients will be announced Feb. 3; Class B scholarship recipients will be announced Feb. 10, and Class A scholarship recipients will be announced Feb. 17. To honor the 32 Scholar-Athlete Award recipients, a ceremony will take place during halftime of the Class C Boys Basketball Final, March 28, at the Breslin Student Events Center in East Lansing. To be eligible for the award, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 (on a 4.0 scale), and previously have won a varsity letter in at least one sport in which the MHSAA sponsors a postseason tournament. Students also were asked to respond to a series of short essay questions, submit two letters of recommendation and a 500-word essay on the importance of sportsmanship in educational athletics. Farm Bureau Insurance, one of Michigan’s major insurers, has a statewide force of 450 agents serving nearly 500,000 Michigan policyholders. Besides providing life, home, auto, farm, business and retirement insurance, the company also sponsors life-saving, real-time Doppler weather tracking systems in several Michigan communities. The MHSAA is a private, not-for-profit corporation of voluntary membership by more than 1,400 public and private senior high schools and junior high/middle schools which exists to develop common rules for athletic eligibility and competition. No government funds or tax dollars support the MHSAA, which was the first such association nationally to not accept membership dues or tournament entry fees from schools. Member schools which enforce these rules are permitted to participate in MHSAA tournaments, which attract more than 1.4 million spectators each year.

By Tim Hergenreder Ronald Arthur Holbrook is the son of Ronald Holbrook Jr. Holbrook has been attending Webberville since fourth grade. Since arriving at Webberville, Ron has participated in a variety of different activities. Holbrook has participated in football for two years, band for two years, and Capital Area Career Center for culinary arts, also, for 2 years. Holbrook hopes one day to be able to own his own restaurant. Holbrook has made many memories while attending Webberville, but when asked what his favorite memory in high schoolis, he responded, “Playing Varsity Football.” Holbrook has formed many bonds with his fellow teammates. “I’ll miss playing football with him along with all the memories we made this year,” said fellow teammate and senior Trent Badgero. One thing that stood out while Holbrook was playing sports was his work ethic. “Ron was one of my favorite players because of the ability to do whatever is needed to make the team better,” said former coach Dave Jelinek. Along with football, Holbrook will miss being able to talk to his friends every day during high school. “I love how small the school is and how easy it is to get one-on-one help with a teacher when you need it,” said Holbrook Even though Holbrook will miss high school and his friends, he has a bright future ahead of him. After high school Holbrook plans on attending either Baker College in Port Huron or Sullivan University in Louisville, Kentucky to pursue his ultimate goal of owning his own restaurant. This dream can be easily accomplished because of his work ethic and attitude. “Ron comes to class every day with a smile on his face and often makes sure everyone else is having a good day,” said Culinary Arts teacher Corbett Ray. “I love how Ron works in class, always trying to make the perfect dish that we are working on in class.” Holbrook’s advice to the underclassman is, “Stick with the groove of things and to finish all your homework and make sure to turn them in on time.”

A life well-lived...

In 1938 she married her childhood sweetheart. They probably fell in love the first time they met. He proposed on the edge of a frozen pond in the middle of winter. She said yes and for the next 20 years, she took care of his parents, her parents and her children in a small farmhouse. There was never a Great Depression in her home because of her hard work, her unwavering faith in God and her positive nature. Remember the love she gave and let us help you honor a life well-lived.

This week, I attended my first committee meetings and am eager to work on policy that will continue moving our state forward. Michigan is already a better place to live than it was a few years ago but there is still work to do. Often times, taking something from bad to good is much easier than going from good to great. Right now Michigan has moved from bad to good, and it is time to begin the job of making it great once again. Now that the committees have begun meeting, legislation is going to start making its way through the legislative process. I look forward to hearing from residents and having discussions on those legislative issues. I will use this column to keep you in the loop on the work being done in Lansing and important issues at home in Livingston County. *** An important event coming up in Livingston County is the 25th annual Walk for Warmth on Feb. 21. The walk-athon inside the Hartland Education Center in Howell features a quarter-mile mile indoor loop with music, Jazzercise, children’s activities and refreshments available. The event does a lot of good throughout the community and it is great to see it continue to thrive. Last year, the walk raised over $ 70,000, all of which went to help local families keep heat in their homes during the bitterly cold winter. Most of these families helped by the program are below poverty level, with many of them being families with children or seniors. I am happy to take part in this event and I encourage anyone with an interest in participating to do so. It is a great day of family fun that helps those less fortunate. Those looking to register, sponsor or receive more information are encouraged to visit www.olhsa. org/walk4warmth. I hope to see you there! *** If you have any questions or need assistance with any state issues, please contact me toll free at 866-828-4863 or via e-mail at HankVaupel@house.mi.gov.

AARP Fraud Watch Network launches effort to foil tax identity thieves

Every Day Behaviors Put Michiganders at Greater Risk As part of its efforts to promote Tax Identity Theft Awareness, the AARP Fraud Watch Network is launching an education effort to help people protect themselves from tax scams. The AARP has released a new video and a tip sheet, and is encouraging people to take advantage of AARP’s free tax preparation services. Many taxpayers are putting themselves at greater risk of tax identity theft according to a recent national study released by the AARP Fraud Watch Network. The goals of the education campaign is to help prevent scammers from stealing Michiganders’ hard-earned money. “Throwing a pay stub in the trash may seem easier than finding a shredder, but the risk of having your tax refund stolen is just too great,” said Thomas Kimble, AARP Michigan State President. “The Fraud Watch Network is urging all Michiganders to file early so you can beat con artists to the punch.” According to the Federal Trade Commission, Michigan ranks 4th in ID theft complaints. In this identity theft scheme, scammers electronically file a tax return under someone else’s name to collect their tax refund. All they need is a birthdate and Social Security number, and many taxpayers make their personal information easy pickings by: --Failing to lock their mailbox. Almost six in ten (59%) Americans do not regularly lock their mailbox, which leaves them open to a criminal stealing bills, tax forms and other documents that contain personal information. --Leaving valuables exposed: Over half (54%) of Americans 18-49 have left at least one valuable personal item in their car in the last week (e.g., a purse/wallet, paystub, laptop) that could be used to steal their identity. --Failing to destroy personal information: More than one in five (21%) Americans say they never shred any of the personal documents that could be used to steal their identity. Tips on how to protect yourself and your family from tax identity theft include: --Mail your tax returns as early in the tax season as possible before the cons beat you to it. --Don’t give out personal information unless you know who’s asking for it and why they need it. --Shred personal and financial documents. --Know your tax preparer. Michiganders are also encouraged to visit aarp.org/ taxaide (1-888-227-7669) for information about AARP Foundation Tax Aide, the nation’s largest free, volunteer-run tax preparation program. Each tax season, Tax Aide helps millions of low- to moderate-income taxpayers – especially those 60 and older – get the credits and deductions they deserve. For these and other fraud prevention tips, visit aarp.org/ fraudwatchnetwork. For additional help, contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 800-908-4490 and visit irs.gov/identitytheft.

Congratulations to Larry and Carolyn Morris on their 62nd wedding anniversary! Their anniversary is on February 7th.

MSU Extension to offer free parent & family education classes

Howell-- To support parents and caregivers of young children, Michigan State University (MSU) Extension will be offering the Building Early Emotional Skills (BEES) workshops, a series of parenting online education classes this winter. Enrollment is now open. The BEES class series begins on February 5 and is designed for parents of children ages newborn to 3 years old. The series will help adults develop the skills needed to support the social and emotional development of their children. Social and emotional development is a critical aspect of overall brain development, and competency in these areas becomes the foundation for a child’s later ability to adapt in school and form successful relationships throughout life. Online participants, residing anywhere in Michigan, will engage in a self-paced class, reviewing materials and lessons at their convenience over the course of each week. To create a network where participants can support and assist one another, all online attendees will also meet virtually once a week via webinar or conference call. To participate in an upcoming BEES workshop, contact Carrie Shrier, MSU Extension educator, at shrier@anr.msu. edu or 517-552-6904 for more information. The BEES series is available to any Michigan resident with children ages newborn to 3 years old, though preference will be given to families eligible for assistance programs such as WIC and Head Start. For more information on MSU Extension early childhood development programs, visit http://msue.msu.edu.

Student of the Week: Miranda Prochnow

By Riley McGuire Congratulations to freshman, Miranda Prochnow, who is this week’s Student of the Week at Fowlerville High School. Miranda’s family consists of her parents, Mike and Laura, and her two brothers, Jacob who is eighteen years old, and Garrett, who is seventeen. With her family, she loves to go to Munising and staying in her cabin and they also enjoy playing heads up together! Miranda’s favorite memory is when she went up north with her friend Michaela. They found a site seeing spot that was right next to Lake Superior and they hung out on the beach and jumped off bridges the entire time they were there. This year, Miranda’s school schedule currently includes Math with Mr. Shrader, Honors Literature and Composition with Mrs. Mangan, Earth Science with Mrs. Connor, German with Mrs. Collins, Biology with Mrs. Olzowy, and American History with Mr. Hassenzahl. Her favorite class is Honors Lit. and Comp. because they do fun projects and have memorable moments in class. Her favorite teacher is Mrs.

Collins because she always has fun ways to help her class learn. One thing Miranda wants to change about FHS is how cold it gets in the classrooms in the winter. Her favorite thing about Fowlerville High School is the people who have helped her learn and grow. Miranda’s advice to underclassmen next year is, “Don’t try to pull out the chairs on the first day of school.” What Miranda will miss most about FHS when she graduates in a couple years are the people and the sports she enjoys. When Miranda graduates high school, she wants to play college volleyball and open up her own photography studio. Her hobbies outside of school are volleyball, softball and photography. What she looks forward to most during her high school is finally playing on a varsity sports team! Miranda also babysits as her side job when she is not playing sports or attending school. Miranda’s all-time favorite movie is Blended, she loves the TV show “The Middle” and her favorite book is Walk to the Moon. Miranda was nominated by her freshman teachers. Mrs. Collins stated, “Miranda has an amazing can-do attitude in everything she does, both in the classroom and out of it. She owns her own learning and is quick to volunteer to help others and the school wherever it’s needed.” Mrs. Mangan commented, “Like many great students, Miranda is a hard worker and has great discipline; however,

what sets her apart from others is her ability to infuse her personality into the classroom in a positive and productive way.” Mrs. Connor remarked, “Miranda has a smile on her face every single day and in every situation. She is a sweetheart. She works hard, is determined and expects a lot from herself. A model student!” Miranda feels very honored to have been chosen as this week’s student of the week. She is glad that the teachers recognize her hard work and the way that she helps others. Her friend Michaela Walker says, “My favorite thing about Miranda is definitely her attitude. She is always respectful to others, is very motivated to accomplish her goals, and is a great friend. Her devotion to her school work will help her get very far in life.”

Fowlerville News & Views owners honored at council meeting by state officials

Preschoolers at Little Glad Center

Kellen Douglass & Jackson Clark work together to build Lego creations in Mrs. Brock’s preschool classroom.

Steve and Dawn Horton, owners of the Fowlerville News & Views, were presented with a State of Michigan Special Tribute, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the weekly newspaper, during last Monday’s Fowlerville Village Council meeting. The first issue of the paper was published in January of 1985. State Senator Joe Hune and State Representative Hank Vaupel make the presentation, with Vaupel reading the proclamation. Both of the area lawmakers congratulated the Hortons on reaching this milestone. Also in attendance was former state representative Cindy Denby, along with several other well wishers. Village President Wayne Copeland and council trustees Mary Helfmann, Jerry Bell, Ken Bielous, Everett DeGrush, Carol Hill, and Cindy Salfate, in their remarks at the end of the meeting, also congratulated the couple. Shown here, from left, are Senator Joe Hune, Dawn Horton, Steve Horton, and Representative Hank Vaupel. Below is the Special Tribute that was signed by Hune and Vaupel, along with Governor Rick Snyder.

State of Michigan SPECIAL TRIBUTE to the

Fowlerville News & Views LET IT BE KNOWN, That for 30 years, the Fowlerville News & Views has embraced civic life in the Fowlerville and Webberville communities. This local newspaper, established by Steve and Dawn Horton in 1985, has prospered and expanded, and this anniversary marks an honored tradition of family leadership for this highly successful local business and community guide. The inaugural issue was released on January 17, 1985, as just a four page newsletter including four articles and a column. By September of the following year, the Fowlerville News & Views was printing newsletters of 16 pages or more and distributing 2,000 copies amongst the community. However, the success of the News & Views did not end there. Encouraged by numerous advertisers, the format was changed from a newsletter to a tabloid-sized newspaper and 3,000 copies could be distributed for almost the same price, drawing the attention of many local businesses to this community paper. Today, the Fowlerville News & Views has become the most relied upon source of information regarding schools, churches, local business, current and upcoming events, local government and politics, and much more. Throughout the many years of advertisement and news coverage, the Horton family has surely brought an economic boost to the communities of Fowlerville and Webberville. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been generated due to the continuous support of many community fundraisers and the advertisement of countless businesses. Not only has the News & Views allowed Fowlerville and Webberville to grow and prosper, but has also touched the lives of those in need. Fowlerville News & Views has provided the community a forum for expression, and a voice to be heard. Their continued loyalty to the residents of Fowlerville and Webberville has surely made a significant difference in the success of this community, and will continue to do so for years to come. The News & Views has truly embraced their role in promoting the great towns of Fowlerville and Webberville. IN SPECIAL TRIBUTE, Therefore, This document is signed and dedicated to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Fowlerville News & Views. May everyone know of our esteem and our best wishes for continued success.

Practical Money Skills for Life

Yours, Mine and Ours: Planning Step-family Finances

Column by Jason Alderman The Pew Research Center reports (http://www. pewsocialtrends.org/) that four in ten American adults have at least one step-relative, defined as a step-parent, a step-or-half sibling or a step-child, in their family. While the Pew study says that many step-families operate harmoniously, it also notes that adults “feel a stronger sense of obligation to their biological family members than they do to their step kin.” That is one reason why blended family finances can get so messy. Couples planning to blend families often have to make financial arrangements that respect previous relationships with ex-spouses and their families. Issues range from childcare and eldercare to potentially complex matters involving businesses, investment assets and real estate. That’s why involving trained experts in stepfamily financial planning is a must. Here’s a basic checklist of issues and solutions potential spouses and partners should consider: Start with all cards on the table. Today’s first-time marriages or partnerships alone can introduce some staggering financial variables – business and inheritance issues, college debt, consumer debt or even past bankruptcies. Couples planning stepfamilies face even more complications. But all couples need to start with a critical first step – sharing personal information with a potential impact on finances. Start with the following: --Current credit reports and credit scores. Extensive loans or bad credit for one or both partners can endanger future purchasing plans for auto, home or tuition. It’s also important to share information about personal or cosigned loans to family and friends. --Assets and liabilities. Potential spouses or partners should know each other’s financial assets and liabilities and any issues connected with them. As mentioned above, debt and credit issues may be a problem, but if one spouse has extensive assets, it’s important to clarify whether those assets will be shared legally or promised to others. --Legal issues. If divorce, child custody, foreclosure, bankruptcy, or any other civil or criminal legal proceedings are pending against either partner or members of their families, full disclosure is essential. --Business and estate issues. If potential spouses or partners have significant estate or business assets assigned to children, former spouses or family members, those commitments need to be factored into the finances of the planned marriage or partnership. Bring in professional expertise. Beyond disclosure, it’s good to have qualified professionals who have specific expertise with blended families and their many unique issues. Both partners should start by bringing any existing advisors into the discussion. But if none exist and friends and family members don’t have solid suggestions, the following organizations might provide local experts with specific skills in helping stepfamilies plan: --Financial planners. The Association for Financial Counseling, Planning and Education and the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards are two nationwide organizations that can identify advisors in your area. --Tax advisors. Your state CPA society can suggest qualified personal, business and estate tax advisors in your area. --Estate planners and attorneys. Organizations like the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils and the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel might be able to help. Address problems before move-in. Most experts tell you it’s best to start any new marriage or partnership with a clean slate – or a slate that’s as clean as you can make it. That’s doubly true with stepfamilies. As many income, asset, debt, child custody, estate and business issues as possible should be identified, and solutions put in place, before the family is legally joined. Make a fresh estate plan. Financial experts say it’s time to review all money issues whenever you face a major life event, and remarriage or re-partnership certainly qualifies. Even if the individuals have their own separate estate matters in order, stepfamily issues restart the planning clock on everything. Plan – or re-plan – your retirement. You may have planned a great retirement with a former spouse or on your own, but what if your future spouse hasn’t? Whatever steps you’ve both taken toward retirement, you need to review your strategies so you can retire comfortably together. Bottom line: Money issues complicate all relationships. But stepfamilies have unique, detailed planning needs that should be discussed and settled before marriage or move-in. *** Jason Alderman directs Visa’s financial education programs.

It’ll Never Be Time for Term Limits on Congress

Column by Lee H. Hamilton It didn’t get much attention at the time, but the elections last November did more than give Republicans a majority in the U.S. Senate. Voters also added to the ranks of people on both sides of Capitol Hill who believe members of Congress should serve a limited number of terms. I know a lot of people to whom this is good news. I know them, because I hear from them every time I speak at a public event that allows for a give-and-take with the audience. Americans are frustrated with the federal government as a whole, and with Congress in particular, and are searching for a simple solution. The notion that the bums could be thrown out automatically has great appeal. Yet as popular as the idea might be among the public at large, it has no traction on Capitol Hill. The fundamental problem is that any measures imposing limits will need the support of leaders who, almost by definition, have served a long time. They’re not going to put themselves out of a job they like. Small surprise that bills calling for term limits don’t even make it out of committee. Now, I should say right up front that you’re not going to hear a strong argument in favor of term limits from a guy who served 34 years in Congress. I’m biased. But I want to spell out the reasons for my bias, not because I think term limits are a burning issue in Washington — they’re not — but because I wish they were less of an issue for ordinary voters. Congress has a lot of problems right now, and the American people have a role to play in fixing them, but term limits are a distraction from the truly hard work that needs to be done. When you boil down all the debating points for and against term limits, there are two that bear the crux of the argument. The first has to do with the nature of our democracy. Supporters of the idea believe that bringing in fresh thinking and new leaders on a regular basis will make Congress more representative. However, stripping voters of the right to reelect a representative whom they’ve supported in the past does not make for a more democratic system — rather, less. Representative government rests on the notion that voters get to choose their legislators. Telling them that this is true for all candidates but one — the incumbent — does not strengthen voters’ rights; it reduces their choices. It also weakens Congress. And that’s the other key issue. The most important point to remember in all this is that if you take power away from a senior legislator, that power does not evaporate. Instead, it flows to the bureaucracy and the President. Serving productively in Congress is a tough, exacting task. It demands a deep knowledge of the issues that confront the country; a keen eye — backed by years of experience — for the ways in which executive agencies can go off track and then seek to hide that fact; insight into the ways in which both allies and opponents on any given issue might be motivated to shift their positions; and the hardearned wisdom to forge common ground among competing

interests and ideologies. These traits come neither quickly nor easily. Kicking members of Congress out of their seats just as they’re gaining the ability to legislate effectively and oversee the government responsibly demotes Congress to the status of a minor agency. A politician elected to a limited term immediately begins looking for another job, which reduces his or her effectiveness and attention to the job at hand. Moreover, in government, information is power. Legislators constantly come up against executive branch expertise backed by thousands of employees and big budgets. Legislators without expertise are at a strong disadvantage. Term limits are not the solution to the real dysfunction that besets Washington. They reduce the choices of voters and accelerate the accumulation of power in the executive branch. They move representative democracy in the wrong direction. Lee Hamilton was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years from Indiana.
