Fowlerville celebrates the 4th of July
Fowlerville celebrated the 4th of July on a near perfect summer day. The event included ‘Celebration Freedom,’ held at the First Baptist Church on South Grand Avenue. Several activities for the kids were offered, including this inÀatable horse race track. The kids took turns seeing who could bounce their inÀatable horse the fastest from the starting gate to the ¿nish line. Shown here were, from left, Joe Sawdon, the ¿ve year old son of Chris and Heather Sawdon, and Josiah Johnson, the seven year old son of Matt and Jennifer Johnson. Josiah and his trusty steed nosed out Joe and his race horse in this race. The July 4th celebration also included the evening parade through the Downtown, family oriented activities at the Fowlerville United Brethren Church after the parade, musical entertainment at the Community Park during the evening, and the ¿reworks extravaganza. See inside this issue for more photos of the parade and the assorted activities.

Livingston County Sheriff Dept. issues alert on fraud scam
Intelligence information has been received which indicates that an old fraud scam may be making the rounds through Livingston County and Southeast 0ichigan this summer. 2n several different occasions over the last two years phone calls were made to citi]ens of Livingston County by a male suspect who identi¿ed himself as either 0ajor 3aul Stephens or Lt. (d Gable. In each case the caller would claim to be from the warrants division of the Sheriff’s 2f¿ce. The police impersonator would ask for money in order to cancel a warrant so the person receiving the call would not be arrested. At times the caller would become aggressive and demanding in an attempt to intimidate the citi]en who received the call into giving him their credit card/bank information. The public needs to be on guard for these types of scams and understand that at no time will a legitimate law enforcement of¿cer contact the public by phone and demand money to clear up a warrant. The Sheriff’s 2f¿ce wants to remind the public to be vigilante when dealing with unknown persons on the phone. Remember to use common sense and make note of the incoming phone number that the suspect(s) use and report that information to .

try to avoid, and they can cause plenty of problems. Due to the mild winter and continued balmy weather, we are experiencing more ticks this summer than in previous years. In fact, the increase in ticks is happening in places where ticks were a rare sighting just a few years ago. The increase in ticks means the increase in black-legged ticks, which are most well-known for transmitting Lyme disease. Lyme disease is caused by bacteria that is spread when an infected black-legged tick bites. If the illness is not quickly treated with antibiotics, it causes serious joint, heart and nervous system issues. It’s easy to spot Lyme disease; the most common symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and, most visibly, a skin rash. The skin rash will almost always manifest itself in the shape of a bulls eye, with the main bite in the center and a red ring around the swollen bite area. If you ¿nd this rash on your body, immediately head to a doctor. A proactive approach is the best way to avoid being bitten by a tick or being infected with Lyme disease. If you can, avoid tick habitats — mainly game trails or brushy areas. However, if you are outside on trails, it’s best to walk in the center of the trail. Other safe measures are to wear clothing that covers your skin or to use a repellant that contains at least 20 percent DEET. Finally, after being outdoors, always check yourself, your kids and your pets for ticks. While ticks generally pose a greater risk, it is important to remember that mosquitos can also carry illnesses and cause problems. In many instances, mosquitos and their bites are merely a nuisance. Fortunately, the Village of Fowlerville has a local mosquito control program that sprays throughout the season. The program also offers additional protection for those hosting a special event. To learn more about the mosquito management program or to schedule additional spray protection for your event, call 877-276-4714. If you have any further questions, please email my of¿ce at SenJHune@senate.michigan.gov or call toll-free at 1-855-JOE-HUNE and my staff will be happy to assist you.

2015-2016 School Year 20 Directory Information D Throughout the school year the district may release certain directory information regarding any K-12 student. This information includes name, address, phone number, pictures, videos, gender, grade level, birth date and place, parents’ names and addresses, academic awards, degrees and honors, information about school sponsored activities and athletics, height and weight for athletic team members, maMor ¿elds of study, and the period of attendance in school. However, this directory information will not knowingly be released when it is requested for the purpose of surveys, marketing, or solicitation; unless the District determines that the use is consistent with the educational mission of the District and is bene¿cial to the affected students. As required by law, this Notice is published annually in July in the local newspaper. Any parent, guardian, or eligible student may prohibit the release of any or all of the above information by delivering a written objection to the building principal prior to September 1st each year. No directory information will be released within this time period, unless the parents, guardians, or eligible students are speci¿cally informed otherwise. If a parent decides to exclude their student’s name from directory information, the student’s information will not appear in honor rolls, athletic programs, or other general school information. Two federal laws require the District to provide military recruiters, upon request, with three directory information categories – names, addresses, and telephone numbers – unless parents have advised the District that they do not want their student’s information disclosed without their prior written consent. These laws apply to students in grades 7-12. Any parent, guardian, or eligible student may prohibit the release of this information to the military by delivering a written objection to the building principal within 30 days of the date of this notice. Under this option, directory information will still be made available to other sources under the terms and conditions explained in the previous paragraphs. The district has protected student’s privacy to the best of their ability. If you have any questions, please contact Fowlerville Community Schools’ Assistant Superintendent at (517) 223-6027.

12th annual “Hoops in the ‘Ville� Basketball Tournament coming July 18
Now I knew how the prodigal son felt when his father came out to meet him. At that time I didn’t know anything about the Bible but later, when I read Luke 15, I could identify with that young lad because I had treated Mr. Al the same way he had treated his father. Fortunately for me, Mr. Al treated me the same way the father treated his son. Next Week: On My Own
LL
By Pastor Tom Tarpley I begin this week by sharing with you a little about Mr. Al. Mr. Al was married to a beautiful lady named Betty, and the two of them lived about a block over from my home. Mr. Al had a childhood disease that had left him unable to bend his right leg. He walked with a limp but believe me he was not handicapped. He had recently purchased a vacant house not too far from us and was in the process of renovating it. One day after I Âżnished mowing his lawn, he asked if I would like to help him work on his new house. He explained that he was going to Âżx up the place and sell it to his sister. I told him I would, and I started to spend a lot of time around Mr. Al. Years later he would share with me that he never needed any help; his goal was to draw me away from the boys I was hanging out with because he saw something in me that told him I didn’t belong with them. I thank God for bringing Mr. Al into my life because all of the boys in that group of friends died before they were 30 years old. Most of them fell prey to a drug overdose, while two of them were shot to death trying to rob a gas station. Mr. Al became like a second father to me. When we worked together, he was always teaching me about being responsible and doing what is right rather than always following the crowd. He taught me the importance of keeping up my appearance and being well groomed. One thing I still remember was how he used to instill in me the importance of completing any task I set out to do. He used to say: “If a task is once begun, never leave it till it’s done. Be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all.â€? I believe he started telling me this because my work ethic was not very good, and I was half doing some of the things he assigned for me to do. I eventually began to spend most of my free time with Mr. Al even when we were not working. I would go over to his home and just hang out with him and his wife, Betty. He noticed I didn’t get my hair cut on a regular basis so he made a deal with his barber for him to cut my hair every two weeks and he would pay for it. All I had to do was walk in to the shop, take a seat in the chair, get my hair cut and get up and walk out. He also showed me where he kept emergency money in a little drawer in his kitchen. He told me that if I ever needed anything or had an emergency where I needed some money and had nowhere else to get it, I could take it from the drawer. Since they never locked their doors I was invited to stop by anytime, even if they were not home. Despite all of the stealing I’d done before, I never abused the privilege or misused his trust. I never took anything from the drawer. As our relationship became one as a father to a son, I appreciated being included in all of their family activities. He had a beautiful daughter who was 10 years older than me, and I loved to be there when she came home to visit. I had a real crush on her for a while. Later she became like my big sister. In my own home, expressions of love were rare. There was no physical touching or words of afÂżrmation. I guess this is the reason I found it hard to express my real feelings to another person for many years. Things were going pretty well. However, even though I had stopped running around with the boys next door to Mr. Al, I still had a few drinking buddies on my block. Sometimes, when my brother and I were in our room, a couple of my
friends would come to our bedroom window with a Âżfth of wine (or maybe two bottles) and we would hang out the window and drink. One night, though, one of the guys was making too much noise. My stepfather almost shot him, thinking that someone was trying to break into the house. After that we found another place to meet. Sometimes we would sneak out of the window, go get plastered, and then sneak back in later. When I turned sixteen years old I lost all interest in school. I kept going because I knew I would graduate the next year if I just hung in and toughed it out. I don’t really recall what happened, but one day I just got up, walked out of class, and never went back. I told my mother some lie about classes ending early for the year, and she believed me. I felt so bad afterwards, and I was so ashamed, that I could not face Mr. Al. I stopped going by his house. When he showed up at my door, I would run out the back and up the street, hiding until he left. Whenever I was out walking, I always kept a look out for him. Since he had the only old ‘47 Chevy in town, I could easily spot the car a long ways off. One day, about a year after I dropped out of school, I was walking home from my next door neighbor’s repair garage. This facility was about three-quarters-of-a-mile from my house. I used to hang out there and make extra money Âżxing Ă€ats and doing odd jobs around the garage. Suddenly, I looked up and saw Mr. Al driving down the road toward me. I was trapped and had no place to hide. There were no buildings or trees or anything for me to hide behind. As he came closer, he recognized me and I saw his car swerve to the left and turn right in front of me as I was about to cross the street. He stopped, got out and came over to me and hugged me and told me he was glad to see me. He invited me over to his home as though nothing had ever happened. He never mentioned anything about my dropping out of school or how I had disappeared and quite suddenly broke off contact with him.

Fowlerville Board of Education and teachers reach contract agreement By Steve Horton The Fowlerville Board of Education and the Fowlerville Education Association, which represents the school district’s nearly 150 teachers, have reached a two-year contract aJreePent Both sides have ratiÂżed this new pact that covers the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years. An iPproved Âżnancial situation for the district allowed increases in salaries for the coming year. “The increases come in two different ways,â€? said Superintendent Wayne Roedel. “About half of the membership will get their Step increases which have been frozen for the past two years. There are incremental steps in our salary schedule, starting at the base Step 1 salary for new teachers and ending at the 11th step. At each step an increase in salary occurs. “Teachers who have reached Step 11 will receive a 2.25 percent increase for the 2015-16 school year,â€? he added. “That comes to just under $1,500 extra.â€? The range of the current salary schedule goes from $34,104 for Step 1 to $63,110 for Step 11.

Roedel said that the contract has a provision that allows the two sides to reopen this Âżnancial part next 0ay or -une. “This allows us to see where the district and the state are Âżnancially going into year two of the agreement,â€? he said. “The board is committed to maintaining a fund balance (surplus carryover) of $1.5 million or higher. The new contract also allows a second health insurance option for teachers. “We have a hard cap on what we pay for a premium and the teachers pay the difference,â€? noted Roedel. “In the new contract, the district increased the amount it will pay for a premium by 2.3 percent. However, the teachers’ health insurance plan went up 7 percent. With the new agreement, a teacher can opt for a less-expensive option. It’s a health savings plan with a higher deductible. If a person picks this plan, their out-of-pocket cost for the premium stays the same as it was.â€? The new contract also establishes a school calendar for the next two years. “This is so families can plan their vacations,â€? Roedel said. “Also, under the (latest) state law, districts have to offer 180 school days by 2016-17. We were at 173 days, so we had to add two more days this coming year to reach 175 and Âżve more days the following year.â€? The 180-day minimum had been in place for many years. However, a few years ago, during the Great Recession, the legislature passed legislation that allowed a district to offer fewer days as long as it met the minimum number of 1098 hours of school time. A number of districts added to the length of the school day, thus reducing the number of days and cutting expenses. The legislature has now swung the pendulum back to the 180-day standard.

Fowlerville celebrates July 4th with variety of activities Making snow cones and cotton candy at the First Baptist Church’s “Celebrate Freedom” were these church members. From left are Karen Jones, Jakob Knicley, Amanda Knicley, Jim Knicley, and Sue Bradley. The proceeds are going to fund a 2015 Mission Trip to Trinidad.
These folks were working at the Fowlerville Fire Association’s bake sale booth at the Main 4 corners. In front, from left, were Hunter, Angel, Amber and Mason Hertzler, and in back, were Jamie, Kailyn, Celes and Chuck Hertzler.
Steve Munsell brought his 1973 Mustang Mach I to the car show at the Baptist Church.
American Car Heritage put on the car show. Shown here playing the old-time music and giving away door prizes were Lisa and Ken Bielous.
Tom Breningstall brought his 1953 Jeep CJ-3-A with a Pinto motor.
Grace Lefebvre, the 10-year-old daughter of Karen and Jospeh Lefebvre had her face painted by Wendy Rusceak.
Leah Clark, age 9, and Lucy Clark, age 6 show their balloons that were created for them at the church.
Ronnie and Dan Whitt of Scrap Yard Choppers were on hand with their custom-made bikes for the bike show. Twenty bikes were on display at the Celebration Freedom event. The Whitts also took part in the parade.
Jayme and Andrea Mannor of Howell were visiting their grandparents, Claudia and Ron Mannor, who reside on North Collins Street during the Fowlerville July 4th Celebration. While there the girls did chalk drawings on the concrete driveway that featured different patriotic themes.
Doug Kelley of Herrmann Funeral Home brought this Duplex car that was used years ago as both an ambulance and hearse. He noted that the vehicle is just shy of 21 feet in length. He later drove it in the parade.

Senior Spotlight--Jade Baisch By Nick McDonnell Jade Baisch is the daughter of Richard and Grace Baisch. Baisch lived in both Georgia and North Carolina, prior to moving to Michigan. Baisch began attending Webberville Community Schools her junior year. One of Baisch’s favorite teachers is English Teacher Mrs. Alanna Pape. “I always appreciated the times Jade stayed after class to chat with me. I enjoyed getting to know her better during these conversations,” said Pape While Baisch attended Webberville she did much to create her works of art. She entered in many art showcases and competitions all over the state, with the guidance of her art teacher Dean Wilson. Baisch has always been very artistic and creative. Pape enjoyed having Baisch in class because Baisch added a more creative/artistic side of conversations and projects to the class. “I think people will remember Jade as being ¿erce, creative, and passionate,” said Pape. “Jade contributed to class in discussions and especially when the students did creative assignments. She has real artistic talent.” Baisch was asked what she would miss the most about high school and she said, “I will miss art and the culinary class I took at the career center the most out of all my classes.” Baisch attended the culinary class at the Capital Area Career Center. She loved preparing dishes with her hands like works of art. Baisch has some advice for her fellow friends and underclassmen. “There is always a reason to keep going to school,” she said.

Public invited to attend meetings on proposed passenger rail service
Public thoughts and opinions are being sought about a potential rail service that would encourage tourism and travel by reconnecting principal cities along Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshwater coasts. Two informational meetings about The Coast-to-Coast Passenger Rail Study are scheduled locally in July. The study would help determine ridership demand and the cost feasibility of re-establishing passenger rail between Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids and Holland. Along with public feedback, the study would also analyze travel patterns, demographic trends, cost estimates and existing conditions of rail infrastructure to determine what, if any, next steps should be taken to examine the possibility for new passenger rail service. The study is being managed by the Michigan Environmental Council in partnership with the Michigan Association of Railroad Passengers, the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority and the Michigan Department of Transportation. Sixteen public engagement meetings are planned in the state, with two coming up in Livingston County. The Âżrst will take place Wednesday, July 15th at the Bennett Recreation Center in Howell, followed by another at the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce building Monday, July 20th. Both meetings will run from 6 to 7:30pm.

Handy Twp. Board given overview on delinquent sewer-assessment payments By Steve Horton At a meeting on June 30, the Handy Township Board approYed a Eusiness as usuaO Eudget Ior the 0 ¿sFaO year, similar to the one it operated on the year before. 5eYenues and e[penditures were proMeFted to be in the 00,000 to 0,000 range and the FarryoYer surplus stayed at around $1.8 million. But as has been reported before, the township has an elephant in the room when it Fomes to its ¿nanFial situation. At present it owes the Livingston County treasurer just over $ . million in FhargebaFNs. The board has been worNing to remedy the situation and ¿nd a way through the legal and ¿nanFial ma]e that e[ists. There are a variety of outFomes that Fould oFFur, depending on whiFh sFenario unfolds. The township²liNe millions of private individuals as well as large and small businesses and other muniFipalities²is still suffering from the reperFussions of the eFonomiF turmoil from a few years baFN. ,ts partiFular problem Fan be summed up in one word: ‘sewers.’ 8p until the bubble burst on new housing FonstruFtion, followed shortly afterwards by the Wall Street Meltdown, a severe FonstriFtion of Fredit, and a deepening of the reFession, the )owlerville area resembled the 2Nlahoma Land 5ush. 1ew homes sprouted up liNe weeds on available parFels, subdivisions were developed on larger land traFts, and plans for even more housing were being proposed. 1ew faFtories and FommerFial enterprises had also been FonstruFted, with the liNelihood that even more business development would oFFur as the population grew. The new homes in ,osFo and Conway as well as the more rural areas of Handy Township inFluded their own drain ¿elds to handle sewage. But for the Village of Fowlerville and in the areas of Handy Township along Grand River, Fowlerville Road, Gregory Road, and Van Buren Road that bordered the village, the growth residential, FommerFial, and industrial
reTuired water and sewer serviFes. 3roviding water was not an obstaFle however handling the sewage was. The Village’s lagoon system was at FapaFity. TalNs between township and village of¿Fials did not produFe an initial agreement on a shared treatment plant. Handy Township ¿nally deFided to go ahead with its own treatment plant south of the freeway. There were two Fompelling faFtors in that deFision. First of all, a mobile home parN with over 00 lots had been proposed on Van Buren Road. ,n addition, there was a push for FommerFial development south of the freeway, near the serviFe station. However, the soil had too muFh Flay and wouldn’t perF. The Handy board, at that time, was looNing at two realities. 2ne was that the Fourts had indiFated that a loFal muniFipality had to have ]oning in plaFe that allowed a mobile home parN. Also, the ]oning reTuirements Fould not be so restriFtive that it prevented this Nind of development. 'uring the site plan review for the parN, the Handy 3lanning Commission made Fertain reTuirements that members felt were allowed under its ordinanFe. The developer ended up suing the township. ,n the end, a Fonsent agreement was reaFhed with the judge instruFting the township of¿Fials that they needed to Fome up with a plan that allowed the parN to be developed. The other reality was that a mobile home parN or large subdivision Fould have its own waste treatment system, but Fourt deFisions in other areas of MiFhigan had determined that a loFal muniFipality Fould end up having to taNe over the system if it failed or was abandoned. Given that potential liability and given the residential and business development being proposed, the board deFided that a private treatment plant, serving only the mobile home parN, was not in the best long range interest for that area of the township. They then approaFhed other property owners in the area and learned that several of them were interested in having a muniFipal treatment plant that would maNe their property more attraFtive for development. To pay for the bonds that ¿nanFed the FonstruFtion of this faFility, a speFial assessment distriFt was established. ([isting businesses and owners of vaFant land ]oned for development in the area, as well as the mobile home parN were invited to join the agreement and purFhase multiple R(8s Residential (TuivalenFy 8nits . 2ne home eTuals one REU. While this treatment plant would taNe Fare of the development south of the freeway, it did not handle any reTuests north of that physiFal barrier. The township would have needed to drill a pipe under the freeway and then lay a sewer line out to the site, an expensive proposition. When the Village of Fowlerville deFided to built its own waste treatment plant, the township bought FapaFity in the new faFility and again sold bonds to pay its share² approximately a third of the Fost. 2nFe again a speFial assessment distriFt was established with property owners taNing part who either wished to FonneFt to the system for their planned residential developments or existing residenFes who had to hooN into the system beFause
the line would be going past their property. The two main Fustomers and the Fatalyst for purFhasing FapaFity in the Village’s plant were a proposed home development, Falled Saratoga Springs, to be loFated on 1 8 aFres of land west of 1iFholson Road and south of Grand River, and the Silver Springs housing traFt off of 1orth Fowlerville Road the former Eggleston Farm . Their speFial assessment payments would Fover muFh of the new annual bond payment. The Silver Springs development, when it was proposed, was divided into ¿ve phases. Under their plan, when the ¿rst phase was built out, then worN would begin on the next phase, inFluding extending the water and sewer lines, FonstruFting streets, and providing utilities. However, payments Fovering the speFial assessments for all of its REUs in all ¿ve phases had to be made. A sewer line was extended from the Village plant to Silver Springs, and water serviFe was provided. SinFe then 38 of the 0 lots that were part of 3hase , have had or are having homes FonstruFted on them. A seFond, longer sewer line was built along West Grand River to aFFommodate homes along the route, but mainly to taNe Fare of the planned Saratoga Springs subdivision. As for the mobile home parN on Van Buren Road, it never materiali]ed. ,nstead, a housing development Falled Red Cedar Crossing tooN its plaFe. The marNet for mobile home parNs had Fhanged, and the developer thought stiFN built homes would be more marNetable. The developer wanted the same density as had been approved for the parN. The township board was agreeable, thinNing this type of housing would be better for the area, and the judge Fhanged the Fonsent order. The Red Cedar Crossing development has been divided into three phases with a total of 13 lots. 3hase 1 Falled for 151 homes, Phase 2 has 135 homes, and Phase 3 proposes

Fowlerville News & Views â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sunday, July 12, 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Page 19 127. At present the owner has built about 220 homes, with most of the Phase , lots and a good number of the Phase ,, lots being sold. The development on West Grand River, on the other hand, never got started. When a special-assessment district is set up, a partiFipating property owner or the developer Fan pay for the total Fost of the assessment with a one time upfront payment. However, due to the high Fost of having multiple REUs most have opted to maNe an annual payment amorti]ed over the permitted 20 year period the life of the bond . The idea is that there would be enough annual individual payments to Fover the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual bond payment. Also, when a home is sold²eTualing a single REU the speFial assessment for that lot Fan be inFluded in the sale amount. When the eFonomy Follapsed and development suddenly halted, in partiFular when the demand for new homes Feased, these payments beFame a huge ÂżnanFial liability for the property owners. Payments were never made on the Saratoga Springs development, while most of the other properties in the both of the speFial assessment distriFts soon beFame delinquent. Under the existing revolving fund set-up between Handy Township and Livingston County (the same set-up that exists between the other 15 townships as well as the Fountyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two villages and two Fities , if a property-tax bill is not paid by the due date it goes to the Livingston County Treasurer and the revolving fund. The treasurer, in turn, pays that amount to the township. From the time the Founty treasurer pays the township for the delinquent tax, it Fharges a four perFent penalty and then one perFent per month on the unpaid balanFe. The township ultimately has to pay baFN the advanFement, plus the interest. This is Falled a FhargebaFN. Under normal FirFumstanFes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a problem. ,f the bill is paid by the property owner within three years of its due date, the amount inFludes the taxes plus interest and fees and the township is able to Fover the money it owes to the Founty. ,f the tax bill is not paid within three years, the parFel is sold at a tax sale by the State of MiFhigan (on behalf the Founty
with the minimum starting bid being for the amount of the outstanding debt. Whoever buys the parFel has, in effeFt, paid off the entire debt with their bid. When this oFFurs, then the Founty treasurer has reFuperated the money it advanFed to the township, and the township is off the hooN. An annual sewer-assessment payment worNs in a similar fashion. When a payment beFomes delinquent, the township has the option of turning it over to the Founty treasurer and getting whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owed from the revolving fund. This money, in turn, allows the township to maNe bond payments. LiNe delinquent property taxes, there is interest Fharged on this advanFe, and the money eventually has to be reimbursed. The board, however, Fan opt to not turn it over to the treasurer, thereby avoiding the interest and not adding to the FhargebaFN debt. The delinquent speFial assessment, however, is still owed by the property owner to the township. ,nitially, the township board turned the delinquent assessments over to the treasurer so it Fould meet its bond obligations. ,n the past Fouple of years, the board has not taNen this option on some of the properties in order to not add to the aFFumulating debt. There is an exFeption to the three-year timetable of a property going to tax sale when it is delinquent on its property taxes or speFial assessment payments. That exFeption is when the property is tied up in a Fourt Fase. ,n this situation, the parFel Fannot be sold at a tax sale. The Saratoga Springs and Silver Springs developments, along with a 20-aFre developmental parFel on South Fowlerville Road, ended up in Fourt for several years. However, the township still needed to maNe bond payments, so the assessments were taNen from the Founty revolving fund and the interest on those payments
Fontinued to aFFumulate. Township ofÂżFials, faFed with this mounting FhargebaFN debt, reaFhed a Fourt settlement in 201 with the owner of the Saratoga Springs parFel, and the township now owns that property. The board had previously obtained two adjaFent parFels, east of this aFreage, inFluding the former Hav â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;alooN Florist site. By Fombining the three parFels, a FonneFtion to the sewer line Fan be made at the 1iFolson Road and Grand River interseFtion. 2riginally the line was supposed to extend further to the west where the entranFe of the housing development was going to be loFated. The Fombined parFel was subsequently re]oned for industrial use, although that proposal drew opposition from residential neighbors who wished the land to remain agriFulture-residential. Shortly after this re]oning, Green Grid LLC purFhased the property on a land FontraFt for $3.2 million, with a one-year balloon payment. The Fompany made a down payment of $50,000 with the balanFe due by 'eF. 2 . That purFhase priFe inFludes the transfer of all 312 REUs that were assigned to the three original parFels, meaning the speFial assessment has been paid off and the Fompany will not have to maNe any future speFial assessment payments. Township Supervisor Ed Alverson, at the recent June 30 meeting gave an overview of where the township is with FhargebaFNs, and also informed the board of several properties in both speFial assessment distriFts that are sFheduled to be sold at the tax sale on August 13. 2n the West Grand River parFel that had been slated for 27 homes, the township owes the Founty $3,753,07 .5 in FhargebaFNs. This Âżgure inFludes the interest that has built up over the past few years. The interest portion of this debt, however, might be alleviated. Alverson reFeived a letter from Jennifer 1ash, the Founty treasurer, indiFating that if the township paid $2,553,07 .5 in September, then the Founty would pay $1.2 million. Nash also informed the township that as of last January/ February, FhargebaFNs on other properties totaled $ 52,070. 3 all of whiFh are going on the bloFN at the upFoming tax sale These inFlude 11 platted (but undeveloped parFels on Phases ,, thru ,V of the Silver Springs development along with a 3-aFre parFel that was going to be Phase V and had 50 REUs. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a 0-aFre parFel on Van Buren Road with 102 REUs, a 20-aFre parFel on South Fowlerville Road with 71 REUs, and a .8 aFre parFel on Country Corner 'rive with 24 REUs. Alverson noted that the aFtual amounts owed on most of these parFels are larger than the delinquent speFial assessment payments sinFe all but one of them are also delinquent on their real property taxes. He said that the minimum bid for anyone purFhasing a parFel at the tax sale would be for the amount owed. Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: This news story is a continuation on earlier reports Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done on the issue of sewer chargebacks that Handy Township is facing. Those reports, based on interviews with former Handy Township Supervisor Hank Vaupel and my attendance at Handy Township meetings, were focused on the former Saratoga Springs development and the amount of chargebacks owed on that property. In addition to providing this information, the stories also detailed the court settlement that gave the township ownership of this 168-acre parcel as well as the proposal to combine it with two other township-owned properties and rezone this acreage for industrial use. During an interview I had with Vaupel, he indicated that there were additional chargebacks

on the Silver Springs development and on properties south of the I-96 freeway that the township board would need to address in the future. Since the story I was working on was already long and complicated, I chose to focus on the here-and-now of what was happening with the West Grand River parcel (including those chargebacks) and the proposed industrial rezoning rather than include information on this additional situation that was looming in the future. As they say, the future is now, and this report is intended as both an update and overview.

The Fowlerville Family Fair 4-H Project Market Place is right around the corner. The marketplace begins Wednesday July 29 and goes through Saturday August 1. These events act as a culmination for the students on their hard work WKURXJKRXW WKH \HDU 8QIRUWXQDWHO\ GXH WR WKH DYLDQ Ă X EHLQJ discovered in border states, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) has cancelled all poultry shows and exhibitions in the state as a precaution DJDLQVW WKH VSUHDG RI WKH DYLDQ Ă X The participants involved in the poultry area of 4-H have worked extremely hard on their projects. In response to this recent change, I have been working with the Fowlerville Fair and 4-H leaders to offer opportunities for our countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth to participate in poultry projects for the fair this year. In addition, 4-H youth will still be able to participate in the small animal poultry auction even though their birds will not be at the fairgrounds. We have arranged for special equipment that will be provided for the 4-H exhibitors, which will allow their birds to be preserved for auction. I know how hard these students work on their 4-H projects and thankfully we were able to create a solution that ensures these students get their full 4-H experience. The Project Marketplace will be held during the fair at the Fowlerville Family Fairgrounds. Wednesday, July 29 at 5:30 is the Still Exhibit Auction Arts, Woodworking, Photography, Foods, Etc. Friday, July 31 at 2 p.m. is the Freezer Beef, Lamb, and Pork Auction. Finally Saturday, August 1st at 2 p.m. is when the Chicken, Duck, Goose, Turkey, Rabbit, and Goat Auction take place. I encourage you all to attend these events. It is a great way to support the 4-H youth in our community. More information on the fair exhibits can be found on the Fowlerville Family Fair website at www.fowlervillefamilyfair.com.

Unlike the more ambitious residents in town, we do not Kave an immaFulate lawn. ,n faFt, a number of weeds Kave establisKed a presenFe among tKe blades of grass. $mong tKem is tKe wKite Flover. (ven after ,œm mowed my lawn, a number of tKe blossoms Kave survived tKe Futting. , Fould set tKe mower lower, but from wKat ,œve read a sFalped lawn is not a prudent FKoiFe. , Fould spray, Kowever , donœt see tKe value in tKis approaFK. , Kave no overriding Fompulsion to impress tKe neigKbors too muFK, altKougK , do feel pangs of guilt wKen , fail to keep up tKe plaFe by Kaving a tidy-looking landscape. $ny pangs about tKe wKite clover disappeared wKen , noticed a bumble bee Kovering over a blossom, sucking out some nectar for use at a nearby nest. 2f course, , Kope tKis nest Kas not been establisKed inside our barn or near a doorway wKere tKe protective bees migKt feel tKreatened by our Kuman presence. 2tKerwise tKe sigKt was a welcome one. 7Ke bumble bees, like tKe Koney bees, Kave been under distress in tKe past few years. &ertain species of bumble bees are even tKreatened witK e[tinction due to Kabitat loss. *etting more notice Kas been tKe large number of Koney bees in tKe commercial Kives tKat Kave died off. :Kile tKe bumble bees were once important pollinators of crops, nowadays itœs tKe Koney bees, raised by commercial beekeepers tKat play an indispensible role in agriculture. 7Ke keepers, along witK selling tKe Koney tKat tKe bees produce, rent out tKeir bee colony to growers to pollinate tKeir fruits and vegetables. 8ntil tKeir numbers severely declined, putting tKis vital service at risk, few of us reali]ed Kow dependent we were on tKese insects²botK Kouse kept by bee keepers and tKeir wilder, free-roaming cousins like tKe one , saw in tKe front yard. ,llustrating tKat importance is a statement made in by $griculture Secretary 7om 9ilsack. ³7Ke future security of $mericaœs food supply depends on KealtKy Koney bees,´ Ke said. ³+oney bee pollination supports an estimated billion wortK of agricultural production, including more tKan fruits and vegetables tKat are tKe foundation of a nutritious diet.

-but tKe percKing birds. 2ne reason for tKis is tKat tKere are many more of tKem around to view, and also tKey are constantly Ă&#x20AC;itting about. 5ecently, , saw two featKered critters Ă&#x20AC;y to tKe sKoulder of SoutK &ollins Street, make a couple of feints at eacK otKer, leap up a foot in unison, botK of tKem doing a sort of kung-fu maneuver, repeat tKe sKow procedure, and tKen one of tKem took off to tKe low brancK of nearby tree wKile tKe otKer bird paused for a moment, took stock of tKe situation, and Keaded off in anotKer direction. , Kad no idea wKat all of tKis commotion was about. , speculated tKat tKey migKt be a pair of young males witK tKe affections of a female at stake. 2n tKe otKer Kand, perKaps tKis was a courting ritual and wKat seems like a pKysical altercation was, in fact, a display of affection. ,Âśve seen tKis sort of response displayed between Kuman couples. ,Âśve since cKanged my mind and tKink it migKt Kave been a battle over territory. A confession is in order. I possess a limited knowledge wKen it comes to bird watcKing. 1ot only do I not know mucK about tKeir beKavior, otKer tKan tKe well-known fact
