Smith second graders learn about the economics of running a business
Smith Elementary second graders have been learning about economics as part of their studies. To apply what they’ve learned, students split into small groups and decided on a store that they would open at a school business expo About 100 students took part in the event on Friday, April 24. Kim Gerecke, one of the second grade teachers, said that the kids decided on a product or service to sell, priced it, made the product in some cases, set up the store, and created a sign. “They also learned about making change,” noted Gerecke, adding that the economics unit included lessons on supply-and-demand, goods and services, and productivity. The stores were set up in the second-grade classrooms. Cookies, ice cream sundaes, and other food items were offered at bargain prices. Customers could also have their nails done at a salon or get their face painted. Other second-grade teachers involved in the expo were June Maurer, Amanda Smith, and Rebecca Randolph.
Operating a candy store were Mea Koenemann, left, and Alex Tyler
These three students sold cookies. From left were Brodie Slayden, Pheonix Hilyard, and Colton Huff.

Handy Twp seeking renewal of Road Improvement & Dust Control millage
By Steve Horton Handy Township is seeking a four-year renewal of its Road Improvement and Dust Control millage. The proposal will appear on the May 5 special election ballot. The levy would be for one mill. This is in addition to the 0.8696 of a mill that is used for the township’s general fund expenses. Voters first approved this dedicated mill (which can only be

used for road work) in 1986. They have approved the renewal every four years since that date by wide margins. This time around the township renewal request will be sharing the ballot with the statewide proposal that is seeking to increase sales tax by one percent (one cent per dollar) to help fund road and bridge improvements. “Township voters have been overwhelmingly supportive of the road millage renewals,” noted Supervisor Ed Alverson. “We’re concerned that our request might get confused with the state proposal.” Alverson said that the township decided to seek the renewal on the May 5 ballot in order to save money. Township residents in Precincts 1 and 3, located north and south of the Village of Fowlerville, are eligible to vote on the township proposal. Village residents in Precinct 2 do not vote on this measure. Based on the current SEV (state equalized valuation) for the non-village area of the township, the road mill would raise approximately $148,000. A portion of this is used for dust control. In 2012 that expense was $53,414.72, in 2013 it was $57,096.83. Last year, through the end of the township’s 2013-14 fiscal year of June 30, the expense was $41,717.36. The rest of the road millage monies are spent on improvement projects. Alverson noted that some General Fund revenues also go towards road projects. In 2012, Handy spent $100,000 to repave Van Buren Road from Fowlerville Road to Gregory Road, with the Livingston County Road Commission paying a similar amount on this project. There was also work done on Gregory Road, south of Allen Road, at a cost of $50,000, and on Hogback Road, south of Grand River, at a price of $80,000. The 2013 road improvements included: Layton Road for $55,000; Cemetery Road from Van Riper Road to Grand River for $70,000, Hogback Road

from Grand River to Allen Road for $7,000; and Sharpe Road from Cemetery Road to Owosso Road (four inches of limestone) for $12,000. Last year the repaving project on Nicholson Road from Mason Road to Judd Road was split 50-50 with the Road Commission, with the township paying $100,000.

State voters to decide on increasing sales tax to help fund highway improvements
On Tuesday, May 5, Michigan voters will decide whether or not to approve a state proposal that, if passed, would increase the sales tax to help fund highway maintenance and improvements. The proposal has several other components, but the main question is on raising the sales tax from six to seven cents per dollar. The additional revenue would help pay for road and bridge work. Polls are open at the voting sites of area townships from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on that day. A couple of local proposals will also be decided. Non-village residents of Handy Township will vote on a proposal to renew the one-mill road maintenance and improvement levy for four more years. Residents living within the Webberville Community Schools, meanwhile, are being asked to renew the 20 mills levied on non-homestead property for another 10 years. School officials will not levy more than 18 mills, but are seeking 20 mills to offset future reductions in the levy due to the Headlee Amendment. This millage, they noted, is not levied on primary residential properties or agricultural land. Below is the ballot language on the Statewide Proposal: STATE PROPOSAL 15-1 A proposal to amend the State Constitution to increase the sales/use tax from 6% to 7% to replace and supplement reduced revenue to the School Aid Fund and local units of government caused by the elimination of the sales/use tax on gasoline and diesel fuel for vehicles operating on public roads, and to give effect to laws that provide additional money for roads and other transportation purposes by increasing the gas tax and vehicle registration fees. The proposed constitutional amendment would: --Eliminate sales / use taxes on gasoline / diesel fuel for vehicles on public roads. --Increase portion of use tax dedicated to School Aid Fund (SAF). --Expand use of SAF to community colleges and career / technical education, and prohibit use for 4-year colleges / universities. --Give effect to laws, including those that: --Increase sales / use tax to 7%, as authorized by constitutional amendment. --Increase gasoline / diesel fuel tax and adjust annually for inflation, increase vehicle registration fees, and dedicate revenue for roads and other transportation purposes. --Expand competitive bidding and warranties for road projects. --Increase earned income tax credit. Should this proposal be adopted?

Michigan House Report By Dr. Hank Vaupel 47nd District One of the great parts about my job as representative is the ability to recognize the outstanding residents of Livingston County. Recently, I have had the opportunity to recognize many residents both at the Capitol and at home and I wanted to share their accomplishments. As you will see, spring is off to a busy start. The Capitol recently held an event to recognize the career and technical education programs across the state. The Pinckney Robotics Team participated in this event. I was honored to welcome them to the Capitol and to see the talent they have. I know that they all have bright futures ahead of them. Earth Day was this month and to celebrate the Department of Environmental Equality hosted a poster contest for students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade. Students were asked to create a poster that reflects the principles of Earth Day. This year two first grade students from our community were selected as winners. I want to wish congratulations to the first place winner Avery Farris of HT Smith Elementary. The second place winner is Dylan Doggett of Hartland Village Elementary. This is a wonderful achievement and I hope they continue to grow their creativity. Recently, I was able to attend a civil air patrol promotion ceremony for air force cadets. I want to applaud these individuals who have chosen to take this admirable career path and wish them success in all their future endeavors. In the past two weeks there have been seven classes from Southeast Elementary and Hutchings Elementary to visit the Capitol. I am honored to be able to greet them and it is great to see them have the opportunity to learn about our state government. In addition to being able to recognize a few extraordinary young people in our district. I have also had the opportunity to attend the Annual Howell Main Street Applause Awards. It was an impressive event honoring many accomplishments and I was able to present a tribute to Dan Joblonski who was named Volunteer of the Year. Congrats, Dan! Finally, this past weekend I was able to help honor Hansel Keene and Joan Beaudoin as they were named Livingston County Veteran and Auxiliary Member of the Year. It is such an honor to be able to help recognize the citizens of Livingston County and I am looking forward to continuing to do so. Please don’t hesitate to say hello if you see me around the district! I always look forward to speaking with residents.

With spring in full bloom and summer right around the corner, home gardeners are planning and preparing for gardening season. As a farmer and chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I hold a special place in my heart for farming and home gardening. Starting your own garden is easier than you might think, and there are several resources available to help you get started. The benefits of gardening are diverse and extensive. It is extremely versatile and can be done in any amount of space available; it is a stress reliever and promotes being outdoors; and it is an activity the whole family can participate in and enjoy. Lastly, and certainly not least, it can provide an economic benefit by helping you save money on groceries if you choose to grow fruits or vegetables. The Livingston County Michigan State University Extension is a valuable resource for our community and offers educational programs and resources in horticulture, land use, and agriculture and natural resources, among others. More specifically to gardening, the horticulture program offers information on choosing the right type of plants and soil testing and provides a vegetable planting schedule with recommendations to aid you in determining when to prepare your gardens and what to plant. The Master Gardener Program, a volunteer leader training program for people who are enthusiastic to learn science– based, environmentally friendly gardening practices and share this knowledge with others to help improve Michigan communities, is also offered through the Livingston County MSU Extension. The cost of the 13-week program is a bargain at $300, and includes valuable training materials that are yours to keep for future reference. Additional information is available on the program’s website. Go to www.msu.edu,
and search for “Master Gardener.” Another valuable resource available through the MSU extension is the Michigan Fresh program. The program helps people explore our state’s abundance of fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamentals. Each week throughout the summer, Michigan Fresh will provide information on recommended varieties, storage, food safety and preserving techniques for fruits and vegetables or for planting and maintaining your lawn and garden. Information is shared from early May to mid-October. Additional information and e-newsletter sign-up is available on the website. Search for “Michigan Fresh” at www.msu.edu. More information on the programs offered through the Livingston County MSU Extension can be found on their website, www.livgov.com/msue. Additionally, you can call the horticulture hotline with any questions at 888-678-3464, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I encourage residents of the 22nd District to start a new tradition and plant your own garden this summer. Home gardens are green and sustainable; they can save money and can create a new hobby for the whole family to enjoy. If you have any further questions, please email my office at senjhune@senate.michigan.gov or dial toll-free 1-855-JOEHUNE and my staff will be happy to assist you.

A Shadow Game and the Price of Silver
By Thomas F. Higby, M.D. In 1895 the German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen, while working with a cathode ray tube made by Siemens noticed that something invisible was produced, causing a screen to fluoresce, also causing exposure of a protected photo-film. He named it the X-Ray, X standing for the unknown. (It was also often called by others, the Roentgen Ray). Soon he noted that it could penetrate soft body parts, leaving shadows of bones on a photo-film. In the early years of the twentieth LAWN MAINTENANCE AND OTHER SERVICES

century the rays became used widely in medical diagnosis. The pioneers in X-Ray use had no idea of the hazards of exposure to the rays, often using their hand to test the operation of the machine. As the damaging effects became recognized an important rule was developed: no dose of radiation is so small as to cause no damage. Steady but slow progress has been made toward reduction of exposure: more sensitive screens, better shielding, and now non-film digital screens. It is shocking to me that in the 40’s there were still fluoroscope machines in shoe stores for the proper fitting of shoes. When I was about twelve I went with my pal to his uncle’s shoe store, and looked with great interest at the bones in my feet. When I told my mother that I had seen my foot bones by x-ray, she was extremely displeased! The image produced by the rays is still a shadow. A great medical specialty has arisen—radiology, formerly also known as Roentgenology, to interpret those shadows, with remarkable accuracy and knowledge. I still must ask: whom does the reader know well enough to identify by looking at a shadow? Certain examples of shadows made on film by x-rays stand out in my memory: In about 1962 an elderly man came to see me about his stomach trouble. I sent him for upper GI x-ray examination (Swallowing barium was like drinking thinned plaster). The radiologist at McPherson C.H.C., was Dr. Robert Wadlund, the only medical specialist at that time in Livingston County, and for whom I had the greatest respect, showed me the evidence of stomach cancer. He estimated that the man might have a few months to live. I gave the man the dreaded news, which he accepted stoically, going to settle his affairs. Two or three years later he came to see me, and with the greatest surprise I asked about his previous trouble. He said: “Oh, my stomach is fine! The trouble went away.” It is very important to realize that every diagnosis is just an opinion. In every line of work points are scored; and scores are kept. For the radiologist the best points are made when a major diagnosis is made from films taken for an unrelated purpose. I was very pleased to make such a score! A man well known to me for many years came to me after having fallen on the ice, wondering if he had broken a rib. I was doubtful of that possibility, but to make sure I took x-rays. No fracture was seen, but the films showed clear evidence of
lung cancer! The cancer was early, and its removal considered to be probably curative. He was extremely pleased, and gave up his heavy cigarette habit. Amazingly, with such a story, he went back to smoking, dying of other causes, but probably still related to smoking. What a powerful testimony to the force of the nicotine addiction! Looking back on the specialty of radiology over the years, there have been several well remembered colleagues, among whom I must mention Dr. Karol Granowski. A man about 15 years my senior, a Polack, (He informed me that Polack is a proper Polish language term.) he had fought in the Polish underground during the German occupation. Educated at The University of Krakow, which he claimed to be the oldest university in Europe, he was personally acquainted with the archbishop of Krakow who became Pope John Paul II. Before coming to U.S. he had been fully qualified in thoracic surgery, but at that time foreign credentials were not accepted by American specialty boards; being forced into further residency, he went into radiology, where he enjoyed a second career. Now deceased, but fondly remembered. A good guy, who could get a big laugh from a Polack joke. Now x-ray images are captured on digital screens, and can be sent around the world in an instant. A radiologist in India can give an immediate interpretation of an image taken in Michigan! What does this have to do with the price of silver? A lot. The black matter in an x-ray film consists of fine particles of silver, valuable enough that we had a silver salvage company clean our developing tanks regularly. A lot of silver went into both x-ray and black and white photo film. Thus, seemingly unconnected fields of endeavor are found to be closely related.

Fowlerville High School Sports Report
VARSITY SOCCER The Girls Varsity Soccer team battled hard against Lansing Catholic on Monday night (April 27) but had a hard time overcoming injuries and in the end fell 4-0. Ollie Updike played well in the middle and was a great voice in the midfield helping to keep play moving in our possession. Rachel Clark, Lauren Robertson and Alexis Lindig had a few scoring chances but were unable to capitalize. Rayne Phillips moved into play stopper for the injured Keelan Horton and worked well with Jessica Holiday shutting down many opportunities that Lansing Catholic had to score. Erin Vielbig faced some tough shots in the second half with the sun in her eyes and made a lot of key saves keeping the Glads in the game. *** JV SOCCER The JV Girls’ Soccer Team defeated Corunna last Tuesday night by a score of 8-0. Jacie Devota had a hat trick, Selena Lopez added two goals, and Jayni Navarro, Tayshia Theibert, and Audrey Trinka each had one goal in the win. Assisting on the goals were Devota, Kelsi Meinecke, Madsion Lemieux, and Rachel Rigotti. The defense added another shutout on the season and the Glads record is 5-2. *** JV SOFTBALL The JV Girls Softball Team continued their winning streak last Monday night, beating Lansing Catholic 25 to 4 and 15 to 14. Valerie Winn was the winning pitcher in both games. In the first game, the bats dominated with the Glads getting 28 hits! Madi Longthorne had three doubles, Valerie Winn added a double and a triple, Erica Fox chipped in a double and Haley Szumlinski also belted a triple. In the night cap, The Glad’s let the Cougars stay close, and had to rally to win the game in the bottom of the 5th inning, due to the time limit being called. Madi Longthorne led off the bottom of the 5th with a walk, advanced to second on a pass ball, got moved to third on a single by Kalei Dillard and eventually scored on a pass ball. Kalei Dillard scored the winning run, advancing to second, third and home all on aggressive base running. The girls have now won 10 games in a row, and will be back in action to keep their streak going on Monday May 4th at Williamston. *** JV BASEBALL Fowlerville played well against Lansing Catholic Central last week, winning the first game and having bases loaded in the second game, down by two runs with no outs. But game was called due to darkness. Nathan Southgate got the win on the mound striking out 7. Nick Semke came in relief, pitching 2 innings and striking out 3 and helping the offense going 2 for 4 with 2 runs and 3 RBIs. The second game had Jason Klebba on the mound. He pitched great and also had a 2 for 3 day at the plate scoring a run. Nate Leonard was 2 for3 with 2 runs and a 2 RBI triple. Steven Quigley added a 3 for 3 game 2 runs and 2 RBI. The JV squad is now 14-3 on the season *** VARSITY BASEBALL Last Tuesday, the Varsity Baseball Team beat Lansing Catholic Central High School 1-0 and 3-1.

Area Post Offices asking residents to Help Stamp Out Hunger on May 9
On Saturday, May 9, the National Association of Letter Carriers, United States Postal Service, Feeding America, and other partners are asking the people of Fowlerville, Webberville, and surrounding areas to help “Stamp Out Hunger.” The annual food drive has grown into a national effort that provides assistance to the millions of Americans struggling to put food on the table. The Stamp Out Hunger food drive, held on the second Saturday in May, has become the nation’s largest single-day food drive. In 2014 generous Americans donated 72.5 million pounds of food, feeding 30 million people. This was the 11th consecutive year of at least 70 million pounds collected by letter carriers. The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has collected well over one billion pounds of food since it began. The need for food assistance exists in every community in America. According to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, 50 million Americans are food insecure, meaning they live at risk of hunger. Perhaps most alarming is the fact that nearly 16 million children in America are struggling with hunger. In addition, 4.8 million seniors face choices between paying rent, utilities and have nutritious food. To participate in the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, residents are encouraged to leave a sturdy bag containing nonperishable food items such as canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice or cereal next to their mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on Saturday, May 9. Letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver the mail and take them to local food banks. For more information about the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, visit www.feedingamerica.org and www.nalc.org/ community-service/food-drive

Steve Jobs’ Secret To Success What does Steve Jobs have to do with you and Karate?
Dear Parent, I am Sam Larioza, the owner of Ohana Karate. You are probably wondering “What the heck does Steve Jobs have to do with karate?” Bear with me and read on and I will reveal the surprising answer. Steve Jobs was an amazing man. He was adopted, quit college, yet went on to start a company in his parent’s garage that ended up becoming the second most valuable company in America, second only to Exxon-Mobil. He got fired then came back to a struggling Apple Computer and rebuilt the company, leading it in the last few years while fighting pancreatic cancer. You may think that Steve’s greatest gift to us was the Mac computer, iPod, iPhone, or iPad but he may have left us with something even more valuable. Which leads us back to his link with you and karate. Here is the key to developing happy and successful kids (and adults) and the foundation of the “Ohana Karate Character and Leadership Development Program” - The secret to success is “Just copy what successful people do!”. All we do here is teach your child the habits, attitudes and character traits shared by highly successful people! We study successful people and make sure your child is on that “pattern of success”. I cannot imagine a better person to add to our list of role models to study than Steve Jobs. I wanted to share the “Seven Secrets” to his success so that you can teach them to your child (or better yet, use them yourself!). Secret #1: “Do what you love” - Steve said “If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”
Secret #2: “Put a dent in the universe” - In order to do this you first have to start with a big, bold, clear and concise vision or dream. For parents, encourage your kids to dream and dream big! Secret #3: “Say ‘No’ to 1,000 things” - Steve said that the biggest obstacle to most people’s success is that they are trying to do too many things. Learn to FOCUS. Simplify everying. Reduce “clutter”. Secret #4: “Kick start your brain” - Travel, meet new people, learn a language, play the piano, start yoga or karate. Steve once said “I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates”. Secret #5: “Sell dreams not products” - Have you ever played with an iPad? How can you do the same with your product or service? Secret #6: “Create insanely great experiences” - Have you ever been to an Apple Store? How can you do the same in your business? Secret #7: “Master the message” - Become a master of communication and presentation skills. This is one of the many valuable skills taught in our “Leadership and CIT Program”. I hope you enjoyed this information but more importantly I hope you are able to use it in your family. “Knowledge is not power, only applied knowledge is power”. It really does “take a village to raise a child.” Here at Ohana Karate, our mission is to give parents a special, powerful place where they can surround their children with other awesome kids, positive role models, exceptional teachers, and...just plain, more HEROES! This along with using karate as an experiential learning tool to teach kids the behaviors, habits and character traits of highly successful and happy people. We have helped hundreds of parents raise their kids. New clases are forming now so call or email us right away!

Jared Tyler Eberly is a senior at Webberville High School with a bright future ahead of him. Eberly is the son of Shannon and Jennifer Eberly and the brother to Afton who graduated from Webberville in 2011 and Aaron who graduated from Webberville in 2014. Eberly has attended Webberville his whole life and has been involved in a lot of activities. He is a part of FFA, Project ROOTS and plays football, basketball, and baseball. “Sports have taught me to work hard and self-control,” said Eberly Eberly has participated at the Ingham County Fair since he was nine years old where he has regularly shown swine. He has always succeeded, and his experiences there have taught him a lot in life. “Going to fair has taught me to work hard to accomplish what I want,” said Eberly. Along with excelling in sports, Eberly has also kept up on his academics. “I’m most impressed by Jared’s intellect; he’s quick to learn and always the first to insert a clever comment,” said English teacher Katie Pingle. “I will miss many things about him but most of all, I’ll miss his sarcasm.” Eberly is going to be missed by many as he makes his transition to college. “Jared and I have been best friends for about 14 years,” said fellow senior Ezra Fuller. “We’ve always hung out together and can make a fun time out of any situation. Jared’s competitiveness and humor has always been my favorite thing about him. He and I have and always will be very close.” After graduation, Eberly plans on attending Western Michigan University to study business or advertising. “My advice to underclassman is to always get your work done on time because it will help you out in the long run” said Eberly

Kayla Crandall hit an impressive two run homerun as well, which was her 4th of the season. Several other Spartans chipped in with great base running and solid defense. Congratulations Spartans!

Webberville Library Report
By Peg Mawby, Head Librarian Spring is the time of year when gardeners are poised for action. Things still look a bit brown but the hope of green comes with those inevitable April showers. Whether you’ve been gardening for years or this is year one for you, Capital Area District Libraries can help. One way to get yourself in the mood is by browsing some of the latest periodicals. We have print copies but also electronic ones through our digital magazine service, Zinio. Check out Organic Gardening, Mother Earth News, Hobby Home Farms, Country Gardens and more, all available at cadl.org/ catalog. There are a number of books to browse also, with every garden-related topic from composting to mulching. I have been particularly intrigued with one of our newer titles here at CADL Webberville— “Groundbreaking Food Gardens” by Niki Jabbour. It’s loaded with 73 three different garden plans, all interesting and many I’d never thought of. For example, her Beat the Grocery Bill plan concentrates on high value organic fruits, berries, vegetables and herbs. The Forager’s Garden features low-maintenance and drought-tolerant plants. Here’s one that I bet you haven’t run across before: a Cocktail Garden. Selected plants, such as Mexican sour gherkin cucumbers and black lace elderberry, are used in both standard and unusual cocktails. If you are more interested in traditional plans, take a look at the Formal Kitchen Garden layout. Whatever type of garden you plant, the library is here to help you grow. Visit a CADL branch or cadl.org to get started. Capital Area District Libraries’ Webberville branch is located at 115 S. Main Street in Webberville. For information about our hours, services or events, call 517-521-3643 or visit cadl.org.

Michigan’s newest senator special guest at Livingston Democrats Dinner
Michigan’s newest U.S. Senator will be the special guest at Livingston County Democrats’ annual spring fund-raiser, the party has announced. U.S. Sen. Gary C. Peters will join Democrats at their 32nd annual Winans Dinner on Friday, May 15. “We are thrilled that Senator Peters will be joining us. Livingston County voters were strong supporters of Senator Peters last November, giving him the 10th highest vote total among Michigan’s 83 counties so it’s great that he can come back and see his many supporters here,” said Judy Daubenmier, party chair.

March Is Reading Month Students from Mrs. Harper’s and Mrs. McGuire’s classes recently celebrated reading over 20,000 minutes during “March Is Reading Month” by dissecting squid, then frying it up and eating it! Students learned that squid have an ink sac to squirt ink and confuse predators. Boys and girls used the ink from the sac to write their names on paper. They also learned that squid have 3 hearts, and that squid eyes can see in blue and yellow. After the dissection, students were excited to try the breaded and pan-fried squid, with many requesting tentacles to eat. The overall sentiment was that, “They’re really chewy, but really good.” The students, as well as Mrs. McGuire, and Mrs. Harper, would like to thank the parents who volunteered their time, allowing us to enjoy this fun activity.

Ask the Michigan State Trooper
By Sgt. Michael Sura Cyber bullies, road rage, scam artists, fraud schemes the list goes on and on of everything people face today in the world. We try hard to protect ourselves and our families from people out there attempting to steal or hurt us. Finally, something caught up with me. Sometimes, you just can’t see it coming. It happened when I was driving into work and had stopped at a fast food establishment. It took me by complete surprise. I wasn’t sure how to feel or what to do. This had never happened to me before, and I didn’t know who to call. I had become a victim of a RAK. What is a RAK? A RAK is a random and senseless act of kindness by someone else for no reason. Yes, kindness. The woman in front of me bought my breakfast. She then took off without so much as allowing me to say anything. I pulled up to the window to hand the clerk my money. The clerk looked at me and said “The woman in front of you paid for your breakfast.” He handed me my bag and said I was all set. I saw the suspect vehicle turn left onto the roadway and immediately gave chase. Her vehicle stopped at a light - now I had her! I pulled up alongside of her vehicle. She looked over and smiled. I rolled down my window and yelled across “Thank you, but you didn’t have to do that.” She responded, “Not too long ago someone did that for me.” She said since that time she just believed in trying to be a master RAK offender. She was nice just because, not because she felt she had to do something. She did it because she truly wanted to and it honestly made her feel good. I did not get her name. She was not looking for a pat on the back. She was just being nice for the sake of being nice. The light turned green, she smiled and said “Enjoy and don’t forget you’ve been RAK attacked!” The woman then turned left and I was stuck at the light, a victim of a RAK attack. Amazing how something so simple can make you think. Well, since that time I have become a RAK offender. Now, I’m not saying you have to buy breakfast for the person in line behind. There are many ways to become a RAK offender. A RAK can be as simple as holding the door open for someone with their arms full, carrying groceries for someone at a store, donating your time to a charity, reading to kids. When you think about it, there are really a lot of ways to put a positive feeling into someone’s day. This just might be a wanted poster you actually want to see your face on. To the woman in the vehicle I say “Thanks again.” You have turned someone else into a RAK offender. For everyone else, be careful out there. Kindness can strike at any time. If you have questions or comments please email them to askatrooper12@gmail.com, or mail them to Ask A Trooper, Michigan State Police – Brighton Post, 4337 Buno Road, Brighton, MI 48116.

Traditional Values Still Matter to Media
Column by Lee H. Hamilton I have been involved in politics and policy-making for over 50 years, and as you can imagine I hold strong feelings about reporters and the media. They’re not what you might think, however. Far from considering journalists to be irritating pains in the neck — though I’ve known a few who qualified — I believe them to be indispensable to our democracy. Our system rests on citizens’ ability to make discriminating judgments about policies and politicians. Without the news, information, and analysis that the media provides, this would be impossible. We depend on journalists and the outlets they work for to be our surrogates in holding government accountable; they can serve as a formidable institutional check on the government’s abuse of power. So I am uneasy about some of the directions I see journalism taking these days. I admire the role that the press has played throughout our history, and fervently hope that it can right itself to play such a role again. Let me note at the outset that I can find exceptions to everything I’m about to say. There are journalists doing reporting that is clear-eyed, fearless, and grounded in an honest evaluation of the facts — I’m thinking, for instance, of some of the work in recent years on the NSA — and this work has moved the national debate forward. But far too often, journalism falls short. Reporters often seem to take what politicians and their handlers say at face value, writing what they hear without ensuring that the facts bear it out. They look for winners and losers at the expense of nuance. They strive to give the appearance of evenhandedness by creating a false balance between two sides that do not deserve equal weight. They elevate politics, polls and personality over substance and measured analysis. Too often, on Fox or MSNBC or any of a plethora of broadcast, print and online outlets, they slant the news. They engage in pack journalism, reminding me of blackbirds on a telephone line — one comes and others follow. And they delight in spotlighting the screw-up, the mistake, or the gaffe, which might be entertaining to readers but sheds no light on the underlying issues that could make government better if addressed. I also worry about the increasingly sophisticated efforts by the government and powerful interests to tell us only what they want us to know. Reporters want to be part of the media elite, and the White House in particular — under presidents of both parties — has become quite skillful at manipulating them. Reporters have to keep policy makers at arms length, and not be intimidated by them. I believe that much contemporary journalism has come untethered from a set of traditional values that served the country well over many years: -- Journalism needs to be in the service of justice, asking questions, telling stories, and inspiring those in power and those who vote for them to do the right thing. -- It should be a check on power, ferreting out the stories that those who hold public office don’t want revealed, and reporting the truths that we, as Americans, have the right to hear. -- It must hold tight to accuracy, intellectual honesty, rigorous reporting, and fairness — values that ought never to go out of style. -- And journalists have a profound responsibility to serve as lie detectors. A couple of years ago, the notable investigative reporter Seymour Hersh gave a speech in London in which he said of the U.S. government in particular, “The Republic’s in trouble. We lie about everything. Lying has become the staple.” You don’t have to go to that extreme to agree that journalists have to be curious and skeptical, and not buy into the conventional wisdom of the establishment. A robust, inquisitive congressional oversight process should be capable of revealing what is too often hidden, but it’s not. We need journalists to do it. In the end, my concern is that skeptical reporting and deeply informed investigative journalism are fading. We need more of them, not less. I want to see journalists digging deep into the activities of government, politics, business, finance, education, welfare, culture, and sports. Our Republic depends on it.

Student to receive scholarship through America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders Fowlerville High School student Tyler Burkhardt will be receiving a $1,500 scholarship from America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders is a new program, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, that encourages rural youth to remain in agriculture and provides college scholarships to support their education. Grow Ag Leaders scholarships, administered by the National FFA Organization, are available to high school seniors and college students pursuing degrees in ag-related fields. To be considered, each applicant must obtain endorsements from at least three local farmers. Thanks to farmers and a successful six-state pilot launch in 2014, the program was expanded across the country. With support from the Monsanto Fund, more than $500,000 in scholarships has been awarded to students this year.
From left are Bart Marshall, account manager crop protection business for Monsanto Company; Tyler Burkhardt, the scholarship recipient; and Bradford Lusk, Fowlerville High School principal.
