Rod Sadler, author of To Hell I Must Go, will be the featured speaker at the Williamston Chamber of Commerce lunch on Thursday, April 23, 11:30 am, at the Brookshire Inn & Golf Club,205 W. Church Street. Everyone is invited! Cost is $12, pay at the door. <ou must RS93 to the Chamber of¿ce, 517655-1549,info@williamston.org. As a young deputy sheriff in Michigan, Sadler had been reminded of his law enforcement heritage many times. While researching his grandfather’s tenure as the Ingham County Sheriff in 1897, he discovered the grisly murder of an elderly woman in Williamston, where he spent his childhood, and the identity of her unlikely killer. Over 10 years in the making, this book takes the reader beyond the newspaper reports detailing the gruesome murder and the ¿ve days that followed. In addition to print sources, Sadler carefully crafts a timeline using handwritten statements from witnesses, and the original 1897 Circuit Court ¿le while at the same time providing a historical perspective of midMichigan and 19th century law enforcement. This is the true story of a woman who some might refer to as Michigan’s own /i]]ie Borden. Sadler is a retired police of¿cer, having served over 30 years in lawn enforcement. He and his wife live in midMichigan with their three sons. This lunch date, April 23, has something in common with the murder. Come to the lunch to learn more!

A Sign of Spring Fowlerville Feed and Pet Supplies held Chick Day last Wednesday. The event, where the baby birds arrive at the store and are then picked up by customers to be raised, is among the ‘signs of spring’. Over 700 chickens, ducks, turkeys, guineas, and pheasants arrived and were then kept in these galvanized tubs with heat lamps to keep them warm. Larisa Lane, left, and Candy Langenderfer, the store manager, show a couple of their guests.

(3) If a child residing in the school district is not 5 years of age on the enrollment eligibility date speciÂżed 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 notiÂżes 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.

He later worked for Welltronics, servicing automotive manufacturing equipment, and, at the time of his retirement, he was employed at Dart Corporation in Mason. Bob enjoyed attending and hosting various family outings and holiday gatherings. He loved to visit with his grandchildren and his nieces and nephews. Bob also loved to camp and sit around the evening Âżre, watch sports, cheer for Jeff Gordon in the NASCAR races, spend the winter in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and tell stories about his trips to Europe while in the U.S. Navy and his travels and other adventures while living in the Caribbean. He married June (Amo) on July 17, 1982; she preceded him in death in 1998. Survivors include: 2 sons: Stephen (Dawn) Horton and Craig (Darleen) Horton, both of Fowlerville; Âżve grandchildren: Jennifer Miller, Kristine Jacobs, Jamie McCarthy, Jaclyn Barnhardt, and Bradley Horton; 15 great-grandchildren; 2 sisters: Jeanette (Evvern) Townsend of Lansing and Sharon Polihonki of Holt; a brother: Kent (Mary) Bartz of Eaton Rapids; a brother-in-law, Jim Grieb; a sister-in-law, Kitty Fillowck; and many nieces and nephews.

Since moving into the Village of Fowlerville, we have experienced some advantages and some things that are not. Now that the threat of winter snow storms is over for this spring; it is the opportune time to express our appreciation for the greatest advantage that we are so fortunate to be blessed with while living here. This advantage is our wonderful, most helpful, kind and gracious neighbors in the 100 block of North Collins Stree. We can not fully express our gratitude for all your help; especially during the sub-zero blizzards and drifting snow. Your most grateful neighbor.

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, April 19, 2015 – Page 9 and outdated bureaucracy. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues to create the best budget possible for current and future Michigan residents.

Fowlerville Fire Department Report

By Dr. Hank Vaupel 47nd District Over the past two weeks during the in-district work period I had the opportunity to meet with many residents and attend many community events. I appreciate this time of immersing myself in the district and I was pleased to hear what so many of you had to say. I would like to thank those residents who attended my coffee hours in Hartland, Howell and Gregory. I appreciate the input on various topics and issues that were discussed. I will be announcing more coffee hours dates soon and I hope to hear from many of you. I enjoyed participating as a greeter at the Howell Chamber of Commerce Home and Garden Show. Congratulations to all the members and volunteers who helped to make this such a successful and enjoyable event. I was also able to attend Taste of Livingston and the Blessing of the Tractors at Trinity Methodist to kick off the spring planting season. I look forward to attending more community events soon! In addition, I have recently had the opportunity to spend time with a number of elementary school classes who have come to Lansing.

Livingston Arts Council showcasing new silent auction art event April 25 Livingston Arts Council is showcasing a new silent auction art event with a twist, onApril 25th, 2015 at the Howell Opera house. Starting at 6pm, guests will arrive to watch as Michigan artists create a piece of art, whether it be made out of paint/ oil/clay/wood/etc. And they not only will be able to watch the masters at work, but they will be able to silent bid on a special piece that catches their eye. We will also have a piece for silent auction sent to us personally by Michigan native Robert Wyland, tickets donated by the Wharton Center for performing arts, and a few other special rafÀes from local businesses. “Installation Red” by Amarant Design Collective will be available for viewing, along with live music performed by Joe Hassell with Scotttie Alexander Entertainment, heavy hors d’oeuvres will be offered complements of Gus’s CarryOut, beverages and cash bar complements of Right Brain Brewery of Traverse City, and Imperial Distributors. Promptly at 8:30pm, the winners of each piece will be announced and will conclude with an Artist Afterglow, where

patrons will be able to speak to the artists about their work and enjoy refreshments. Why have such an amazing event? Proceeds from this event will go towards the continuing maintenance of the opera house, expansion of the art programming, and hopefully the last push needed to ¿nally get restoration under way on this iconic building. From there, the hopes are to use it for most all community events, educational events, and weddings. The goal is to keep the building in its original beauty, while allowing for it to be utilized by the community, which in its current state is limited. This landmark in our community is worth saving. Not only for Howell, but for Livingston County. It’s a part of the story of how Howell came to be, and should continue to present in our future. Event Details For more information the media can also contact Sharon Fisher at sharon@howelloperahouse.com or c: 517.294.7562 Tickets are $12 online/ $15 at the door. Includes food, link to purchase tickets is http://howelloperahouse.com/event/ live-art-competition/ or call 517.540.0065.

Webberville Community Schools Operating Millage Renewal Election On Tuesday, May 5, the voters in the Webberville Community School District will have an operating millage renewal request on the ballot. Voters are encouraged to come out and vote on this important issue. The district is requesting a renewal of the existing millage to continue the 20 mills for the operational budget over the next ten years. This request will renew the millage that has been in place for the last 10 years. This millage is levied on non-homestead property so it is not assessed on homes of community members who use their homestead exemption. The district will actually only collect 18 mills, but will have 2 additional mills approved so that the funding will not dip below the 18 mill level due to the “Headlee” amendment. The funding generated by this renewal is vital to the district as it makes up a large portion of the annual operating budget. The important thing to know is that this is not an increase in the existing tax level, but a request for renewal. The ballot language is listed below, if you have any questions please contact Brian Friddle at the 517-521-3422 extension 101. Webberville Community Schools Operating Millage Renewal Proposal This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all property, except principal resident and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance. The remaining 2 mills are only available to be levied to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the “Headlee” amendment to the Michigan

Constitution of 1963 and will only be levied to the extent necessary to restore that reduction. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in the Webberville Community Schools, Ingham and Livingston Counties, Michigan, be renewed by 20 mills ($20.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2016 to 2025, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2016 is approximately $601,701 (this is a renewal of millage which will expire with the 2015 tax levy)?

Senior Spotlight-- Ellecia King By Paige Wilson Ellecia Brea King will be graduating from Webberville High School in the spring of 2015, after an impressive high school career. King is the daughter of Heather Burns and Joshua King, and the sister to Austin King, current sophomore at Webberville High School. Eager about graduation, King looks forward to her bright future. King has left an impact on her peers and community in the ¿ve years she has attended Webberville. She is involved in a wide range of activities, such as: volleyball for four years, softball for three years, FFA for four years, National Honors Society for two years, Project ROOTS for one year, and College Ambassadors for one year. One of King’s favorite activities has been volleyball. Participating in the program all four years of high school, she has de¿nitely left her own impact. “Ellecia is like a ray of sunshine. She was a joy to coach; she had a hunger to get better and her energy was contagious,” said varsity volleyball coach, Brooke Kemler. “Her competitive nature and hard work will help her accomplish great things in life.” While being in high school, King has made many friends. “Ellecia is an all-around wonderful person. She has always been there for me, even through thick and thin,” said friend and fellow senior Emily Judd. “I truly believe that when she puts her mind to it, she can achieve anything.” King has made a large inÀuence in the school and community, and will be greatly missed by her peers. Throughout her high school career, King has been an outstanding student. On top of managing her high school courses, she has been a dual enrolled student at Lansing Community College during her junior and senior years. Math teacher Brooke Pierce-Shaffer said, “I will miss Ellecia’s sense of humor most. She always seemed to be in a good mood and brightened up the classroom.” After high school, King plans to attend Lansing Community College or Grand Valley State University. Her intentions are to become a nurse practitioner. “I will miss being a part of a town as small as Webberville,” said King. “I love that everyone knows everyone.” She is sad about leaving, but eager for what her future holds. As parting advice for underclassman, she said, “Do as much as you can because high school Àies by. Make as many memories as possible to last a lifetime.”

Webberville nurse recognized by hospital for reducing patient falls To honor a nurse for his resourceful idea for reducing patient falls, Botsford Hospital has named Brandon Buchta, RN, of Webberville, as a recipient of its Safety Award. This award recognizes employees’ contributions to the hospital’s safety initiatives on which Botsford has built its clinical care. Nurses at Botsford Hospital for years have been re¿ning ways to reduce patient falls in bathrooms, which account for 11 percent of all patient falls. In patient bathrooms, nurses have: --Added nightlights

--Hung laminated signs that say “Please call, don’t fallâ€? --Added grab bars on some units. Despite this, many patients still failed to follow instructions to use the call light that lets nursing staff know when they were ready to return to their beds. So, these patients were at risk for falling. Buchta’s idea ensures the bathroom call light is used every time. His effective yet low-tech approach afÂżxes a clip to the call light in the patient’s bathroom. When a patient is taken to the bathroom, the call light clip is attached to the patient’s gown. As soon as the patient rises, the call light goes off alerting staff that the patient has moved away from the commode. This nurse’s commitment to patient safety and his actions have resulted in a safer environment for patients on Botsford’s Progressive Care Unit where Buchta works. Beaumont Health is a not-for-proÂżt organization formed

Mother Nature is certainly warming things up and bringing out the sun to shine. The ground is bursting with the signs of the season and the Fowlerville Farmers’ Market is, too! Opening Day is Friday, May 15! The Friday Market will welcome back several favorite events and be host to new favorites this Market Season, May 15 – October 9. In the lineup are monthly Car Shows (the third Friday of months May – September), Cooking Competition/ Bake-Offs, Kids Days, demonstrations in ‘Homestead Practices,’ Tractor Shows and many other community supporting programs.

Even more Vendors, returning and new, will offer a variety of produce, gourmet goodies, crafts and baked goods. Rising Vitality Farms, a local and diversiÂżed organic farm, will be new to the Market this Season.

Also, as a new Vendor, is David Grothause from The Cheese People. Come jump for joy and sample the tastes of the Market! I cannot say it any better than they have on their website: www.thecheesepeople.com; “The Cheese People are a curd collective of funky people who love getting up early and the challenges of the elements to bring their favourite local cheeses out to youÂŤat your favourite farmers markets.â€?

Railroad Days

By Cheryl Poch Has spring ¿nally ‘Sprung?’ (Is sprung even a word?) Regardless, I believe we are on our way to nicer weather from now on in. It is time to start thinking about our gardens, Àowers, landscaping and other outdoor activities. The library has a nice collection of gardening books, landscaping ideas and much more. We also have been adding lots of NEW ¿ction, cd’s, and movies to our already existing collection of materials. I know I just wrote about some new ¿ction last week – BUT we have so many NEW books I am going to give you a few more titles to check on and check out! So here goes: DID SHE KILL HIM? “A Torrid true story of adultery, arsenic, and murder in Victorian England.” This is a gripping account of the scandalous Maybrick Case by author Kate Colquhoun. In the summer of 1889, young southern belle Florence Maybrick stood trial for the alleged arsenic poisoning of her much older husband, a wealthy Liverpool cotton merchant. The “Maybrick Mystery” had all the makings of a sensation: a pretty, Àirtatious young girl; resentful, gossiping servants; rumors of gambling and debt; and mutual in¿delity. Did Florence poison her husband? Was her in¿delity proof of murderous intentions? Was James’s own habit of selfmedicating to blame for his demise? Did She Skill Him? DANCE WITH THE DEVIL-Book No.1 by JD March. Gun¿ghter Johnny Fierro has been hunting trouble all his life. Left on his own in the Mexican border towns at an early age, he is a hard, dangerous man who does not let anything or anyone get in his way. He hears that his father faces a battle to hold onto his land in the Cimarron Valley. Choices are hard when the bullets start Àying. SAINT BRIGID’S BONES-A Celtic adventure by Philip Freeman. In an evocative Celtic novel set in a time when druids roamed the land, young sister Deirdre embarks on a mission to ¿nd the stolen bones of her convent’s patron saint. DARNED IF YOU DO a Needlecraft mystery by Monica Ferris. When it comes to murder, Betsy Devonshire-owner of the Crewel World needlework shop-doesn’t mess around. However, when a local hoarder is murdered, she will need all her wits to dig a new friend out of a heap of trouble! SLATED FOR DEATH-a Penny Brannigan Mystery by Elizabeth Duncan. When the body of a well-liked and respectable Glenda Roberts is discovered at the bottom of a former slate mine, now a busy tourist attraction, pandemonium erupts in the North Wales town of Llanelen. Penny ¿nds herself drawn into the investigation when jars of her house brand hand cream are found among the counterfeit inventory Glenda and her sister were selling. Till next week: “What the mind can conceive and believe, and the heart desire, you can achieve.”

By F. Thomas Breningstall Copyright April 2015 Remember back when you were a kid, or even now if you’re still under the age of twenty one years old and are reading this. Parents had so many rules that we, as kids, had to obey. Of course, a number of those rules made common sense; like look both ways before crossing the street, don’t run with a sharp object in your hand, and many other safety rules to help us to not hurt ourselves. And there were the moral rules of honesty, right and wrong, don’t steal or damage the things that don’t belong to you. Dad was very good at installing ethical rules into his children. And for the most part I understood and obeyed those rules. Then there was the other set of rules that were made to be broken. Now I’m not advocating the disobeying of parenting rules, after all I’m a parent and grandparent and I have a set of rules, too. The rule I broke most often was: “Don’t play on the railroad tracks.” You see, there was railroad tracks not far from our house and I could hear the trains chug, chug, chugging down the tracks at all times of the day or night. The trains blew their big whistles or horns that seemed to be calling my name. But we (my siblings and I) were told and warned many times by Mom and Dad, “Don’t play or walk on the railroad tracks.” But the blast from that train whistle kept calling my name. Back in the 1950s, the railroad started phasing out steam engines and phasing in diesel/electric power engines. The steam engines had loud steam whistles that were blown at railroad crossings and for their arrival and departure at railroad stations. The diesel/electric engines had loud horns that sounded the warnings. Both engines called out to me, “Tom come and play on my tracks.” I was the youngest of the family, and I would trail along behind my older brother and sister as we walked the railroad tracks from near home to Hamburg. If we walked on M-36, the round trip was about six miles. But taking the tracks was only about four miles round trip. We justi¿ed the use of the railroad tracks as being safer because there wasn’t any speeding cars like on M-36, and using the tracks was shorter and we’d make it home sooner. If a train did come, then we’d get way off the tracks and wave at the engineer driving the train and pump our arms in the air so he would blow the train’s whistle. At the end of train we would wave to the conductor riding in the caboose. Sometimes the conductor would wave from the little porch at the rear of this car. No one from the trains ever yelled at us for being by the tracks, so we reasoned that it must have been ok. Another upside of using the railroad line as our route was the really good berries that grew along the edge of the tracks, including strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Like all berries we picked, they were made into jams, pies, shortcakes, or just eaten from a bowl with a spoon of sugar on top. The downside of walking or playing at the tracks was the punishment we received if caught being there; the same punishment we got when we disobeyed any other rules. Dad had this look he would give me that would make the hair on the back of my neck stand up, along with a cold chill running down my spine. He didn’t need to say a word or raise a hand; that look was punishment enough. Anyway, I lived through the experience, and would do it all over again« not simply to disobey the rules, but to experience of a time, once enjoyed, that will never happen again-- Railroad Days.

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, April 19, 2015 – Page 21

The Health Effects of Radon By Debbie Rose My name is Debbie Rose. I am a registered nurse and have lived in the Fowlerville area for over 20 years. I am furthering my nursing education through an online program at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I am currently enrolled in a class called Community Health Nursing, and am working on a project regarding health hazards. I am writing this article to educate Fowlerville area residents of the health effects associated with radon gas. Radon is an odorless radioactive gas that can accumulate in your home and have adverse effects on your health. Radon gas is formed naturally in the ground as uranium decays. Uranium is an element found in most rocks and soil, in varying concentrations. Due to this, radon gas is found in the soil in varying quantities as well. After radon gas is formed, it can move through the ground and into the air. Radon in the soil can also enter homes through cracks and openings in a home’s foundation. Once inside the home, radon levels can build up and cause negative effects on the health of the individuals breathing it in. Research has shown that radon gas is the second major cause of lung cancer. More than 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year are contributed to radon gas exposure. Homeowners should be aware of the radon levels in their home due to its carcinogenic affects. Radon gas is especially dangerous to the health of cigarette smokers. Smokers exposed to radon gas develop lung cancer at a much higher rate than nonsmokers According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there is a synergistic affect between smoking and radon gas that can cause smokers to have a 6 times greater risk of developing lung cancer than nonsmokers exposed to the same radon level. This combined negative effect of radon gas and cigarette smoking is not well known, and should not minimize the fact that radon can cause lung cancer in non-smokers as well. In fact, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. However, smokers should be aware of the added risk radon gas has on their health in particular. Radon gas cannot be detected by sight or smell, so the only way to know whether it is a problem in your home is to test the air for it with a radon test kit. The EPA reports that outdoor levels of radon are typically found at 0.4 picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L), this is a measure of radioactivity per volume of air. The EPA has established an action level for radon at 4.0 pCi/L; it is advised that homeowners take proactive measures to reduce this radon level. However, since there is no measured amount of radon that is considered harmless, homeowners with levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L should also consider steps to lower levels. Radon test kits are available at the Livingston County Department of Public Health (LCDPH) for Âżve dollars, or they can be purchased at home improvement and hardware stores, or directly from a radon test kit manufacture at http:// www.radon.com/. Since radon cannot be detected visually or by odor, it is very important to test the air in your home with a radon test kit. It is recommended that if radon levels are high in your home, over 4 pCi/L, you should take action to reduce the adverse effects. “There is indeed sufÂżcient evidence to suggest that reducing exposure to radon would have important public health beneÂżts in the form of decreased lung cancer incidence and mortalityâ€? (Lantz, Mendez, & Philbert, 2013, p. 445). Radon mitigation systems typically include sealing up areas in the foundation where radon gas is entering (usually the sump pump crock), and installing piping and a fan to actively route the air outside the home. There are different conÂżgurations of these systems depending on your home’s construction. The EPA also offers suggestions to lessen radon gas levels in your home which can be found at this web site: http:// www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/citguide.html#lower. Matt Bolang, the Director of Environmental Health from the Livingston County Department of Public Health, stated that reducing radon levels in your home is “not a difÂżcult Âżx.â€? Though you can Âżx it yourself, he recommends contacting a contractor that specializes in radon mediation. The LCDPH has a list of mitigation contractors in the Livingston county area that you can obtain at www.livgov.com/health/eh/Pages/

radon.aspx, or by calling 1-800-644-6999. It is important to note that all homes should be tested for radon, regardless of age or foundation appearance. Bolang stated that based in his experience, cracks in the foundation is not necessarily a good indicator of a potential radon problem. He mentioned that anywhere water can enter a foundation, air can enter a foundation, and if air can enter your foundation, so can radon. Bolang also stated that a common access point for radon into one’s home is through the sump pump opening. Bolang stressed that every home should be tested for radon, no matter if you have a new or old foundation, because every home may have an area of entry for radon gas. For a short time, the Livingston County Department of Public Health will be providing radon test kits and radon brochures at no cost to Fowlerville area residents. These test kits will be available at the Fowlerville Village Of¿ces, located at 213 S. Grand Avenue, until supplies run out. Please take this opportunity to have your home tested for radon gas.

ing. Her favorite trip has been to Key West, Florida. In Kristen’s family, academics are a priority, which is why she has a full course load. She is taking geometry, world history, biology, theatre, honors sophomore literature and composition, and BST. Kristen enjoys theatre class because it encourages her to get out of her box and improve her public speaking skills. Although the teachers are her favorite part of FHS, her favorite teacher is Mrs. Thomas because she is very encouraging and inspires Kristen to perpetually put forth her best effort in order to succeed. Kristen was nominated by all of her teachers and they all had wonderful things to say. Mrs. commented, “Kristen is a great individual, a hard worker, good role model, and great representative of FHS in and out of the classroom.â€? Mrs. Struble agreed and said, “She is such a helpful young lady, hardworking, and helpful to her peers –she is a student we would all love to have 30 off.â€? Not only is Kristen very busy with academics, she is very active in several extra-curricular activities. In school, she plays soccer, runs cross country, is a part of class council, and the National Honor Society. Out of school, she is a part of the Michigan Junior Holstein Board, 4H, and shows cows. Kristen also enjoys spending time with friends, especially Emmy Frederick. Her favorite memory of their friendship includes a trip to Kalahari. Emmy was very excited that Kristen was nominated to be student of the week and said, “Kristen is always super energetic, positive, and can always brighten anybody’s day!â€? Kristen was also quite proud to be nominated for this honor. She thinks it is a great accomplishment that shows how hard she has worked. It is certainly well deserved! Some of Kristen’s favorite things include “The Best of Meâ€?, a movie based on Nicholas Sparks’ novel; playing “Just Danceâ€?, reading The Fault in Our Stars written by John Green, and listening to Florida Georgia Line. She also loves watching MSU athletics, and was excited about their appearance in the Final Four this year! As she looks to the future, Kristen is enthusiastic about what it will bring. Although she is not looking forward to any speciÂżc event in high school, she is looking forward to all the opportunities and memories she will make and all the fun she will have looking back on her high school experience. She would like the underclassmen to remember to always put forth their best effort with everything that you do, because that will lead to success. After graduating from high school, she would like to attend Michigan State University to study agriculture business. Kristen is a phenomenal choice for this week’s student of the week and there are not any students more worthy of the award.

Livingston Centre Historical Society President Marj Carlon is combining her interest in history with a desire to “see good progress” in her role as the current president of the Livingston Centre Historical Society. The group (with about 20 active members) works with the Fowlerville Fair Board in maintaining and restoring the various buildings at the north end of the fairgrounds, known as the Livinston Centre Historic Village. In addition, members host special events at the village and serve as docents when some of the buildings are open during fair week. “Much of our focus is on raising funds to ¿x up the buildings,” said Carlon, adding, “If we don’t do this work, we’ll lose them.” At present, putting new roofs on the buildings and keeping them protected from wildlife are two key priorities. “One recent accomplishment was putting a new roof on the church,” she said. “That building and the school house are in pretty good shape, other than both of them needing some cosmetic work. We’ve also done some work on the Kirkland House, although more needs to be done. “Right now our immediate focus is putting a new roof on the railroad depot,” she said. “The building houses a model train display and a caboose is being renovated. We’re also looking at creating a museum in part of the depot.” Livingston Centre came from the name the early pioneers gave their settlement when the county was ¿rst settled. The town was later renamed Howell. The goal of the village-which also includes a cobbler shop, a barber shop, and a barn—has been to showcase 19th century life in rural and small town Michigan. “This is a unique attraction for our community,” said Carlon. “The buildings have come from all over the county.” While preserving and enhancing the physical structures is an important and necessary effort, the members of the Society are also involved in showcasing the village. “Right now we offer tours to school groups, but we’d like to be able to let a class use the school for a day to experience what education was like for earlier generations.” For a number of years, a Fall Fest was held at the fairgrounds with the Village being a center point of the event. The Society is bringing that event back this Sept. 26. The Livingston County Fall Festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will include a craft show, dancing, live entertainment, a pumpkin chunkin’ contest, children’s games and crafts, hayrides, Historic Village Tours, and a model train layout at the depot. “The admission price and other money generated from the event will go to help restore the buildings,” said Carlon. “We’re also going to have a rafÀe with the winner named during the Fall Festival. We’ll start selling tickets in May.” Another upcoming fundraising event is Grandma’s Attic, featuring donated items from the community. This garage sale will be held on May 29-30 at the Commercial Building in the front of the fairgrounds. Society members will also be having a booth at the Fowlerville Farmers Market on Fridays during the upcoming season. The group also has a booth at the Christmas in the Ville in early December, selling evergreen swags and baked goods. Donations are a key means of raising money as well. Plans are to enroll donors into the Society and send them a newsletter. “We want to increase our membership,” she said. Marj is no stranger to community involvement. She served as a trustee on the Fowlerville Village Council for 33 years, from 1974-2007. Prior to that she was appointed to the Village Planning Commission and before that was elected to the Fowlerville Library Board. While on council, Marj was an active participant of SEMCOG (the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments). From 1974 until she retired a few years ago at age 78, Marj worked as a school service representative for Marshall Music Company. “I sold musical instruments to students in school

bands and orchestras,” she noted. “It was a good job for me. I like being out and meeting people rather than having to sit at a desk and do paperwork.” She added that her service area was the entire state of Michigan. Marj, who was born in 1933, attended school in Pontiac. She has four sons: Brian, Todd, James, and Chris, along with two grandchildren, Joshua and Maddie. She credited her interest in history to her father. “He took me along when he went to area cemeteries, looking for the Civil War graves and learning some facts about the people buried there,” she said. “He was fascinated by the Civil War. “One of the lessons you learn at a place like the Livingston Centre Historic Village is how hard people had to work, and the challenges they faced,” Marj said. “I respect that and this village is a way of acknowledging what they accomplished.” *** Caughtcha Doing Something Great is a new feature that will appear twice a month, courtesy of the June and Edward Kellogg Family Dental Foundation. The goal of this feature is to recognize good deeds and positive behavior that make our community a better place to live.
