A life well-lived...

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

Fowlerville High School Theatre to present charity show on Jan. 16 Fowlerville High School Theatre will present Almost, Maine, A Revival! on Friday, Jan. 16 at 7 p.m. This Charity BeneÂżt Show will be for ONE NIGHT ONLY at the Alverson Center for the Performing Arts in the Fowlerville High School. Proceeds go to Educando Vidas and the Fowlerville Family Impact Center. Educando Vidas is an organization that sends Guatemalan children, living in poverty, to school. This is an organization the school has been working with for several years. Suggested admission is Adults $10 and Students $5. The play, directed by Betsy Ording, stars FHS students: Mariah Loveland, Nolan George, Brandon Hoskins, Jamie Farraiuolo, Nic Foley, Shelby Hinton, Kristen Burkhardt, Rozlin Olpolka, Emmy Frederick, Nick Wanzyk, Devin Long, Conner Hawry, Bailey Brown, Dylan Bryan, Emily Tersigni, Kevin Pentico, =ella Patrick, and Brendan Bowers. These students have been studying acting performance in Theatre Arts class, and this show is a culmination of those efforts. Almost, Maine is a series of nine amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism. This is a beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings (most but not all of them happy) and passing references to characters from other vignettes, which slyly tell us more about them. Mr. Cariani describes the play’s subject as Âľfalling in and out of love.’ It is just as much about pain.´

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, January 4, 2015 – Page 7

Now is the time to focus on ‘growing the economy’

By Lee H. Hamilton Recent economic news has been broadly reassuring. Retail sales are strong, November saw the best job gains in three years, the federal deÂżcit is shrinking, the stock market is robust, and the Fed is expressing enough faith in the economy that an interest rate bump next year is considered a certainty. Yet the public remains unconvinced. This is partly because perceptions haven’t caught up to reality. For many middleand lower-class families, economic circumstances have not changed very much. Average wages, adjusted for inĂ€ation, have not risen in keeping with the good economic news. The median net worth of households is actually a bit less than it was in 2010, just after the ofÂżcial end of the recession ² and the gap between the wealthy and the rest of us is wider than ever. Strong numbers do, however, offer one unambiguous piece of good news: The pressure on policy makers to focus on near-term or immediate problems has eased, which means they can now focus on the fundamental question of economic growth. That’s where their attention should turn. A strong economy that is growing for everyone, not just the people at the top, offers many beneÂżts. The quality of people’s lives improves. Political problems become more manageable. More people have greater economic opportunity. There’s more social mobility and more tolerance of diversity. Because the economy is always at or near the top of voters’ concerns, the temptation for the policy-maker is to support another tax cut or the next move to stimulate the economy in the short term. Now is the time for policy-makers to resist

this and try to understand the large forces – technology, automation, globalization – that drive our economy. As Princeton economist Alan Blinder, political strategist Al From and others have pointed out, the key is to concentrate on creating the environment in the country for sustained, non-inĂ€ationary economic growth. To begin with, we have a chance to get our Âżscal house in order and pursue long-term deÂżcit reduction. This is a crucial, early step for government to take in creating a sound environment for economic growth. This means modernizing entitlement spending and shaping a tax-reform package that focuses on investments to boost productivity and help the economy to grow for everyone, through research and development, job training, upgrading skills as well as technology, and reducing outsourcing. At the same time, it means eliminating public subsidies to individual enterprises. That money can be spent on boosting the economic skills of ordinary Americans through education and training. Policies aimed at strengthening our education system from pre-kindergarten to graduate school, and at promoting lifelong learning and a workforce capable of upgrading its skills to meet changing needs, will have a far more salutary effect on our economy than singling out politically-connected enterprises for tax and other beneÂżts. There are other steps government policy-makers can take to improve broad economic growth. We need to expand trade through open markets and simplify the regulatory structure so that it protects Americans without burdening companies beyond reason. And we must address our nation’s deferred infrastructure needs, which hinder the smooth functioning of every business that relies on transporting its goods. The same applies to reforming government itself. A government that does not work well ² that wastes money, fails its regulatory responsibilities, and cannot make timely decisions ² undermines economic growth. You can see this, for instance, in our current inability to pass comprehensive immigration reform: We cannot increase economic growth without the people our labor force needs, from mathematicians and engineers to migrant farm workers. Finally, policy-makers need to remember that economic growth means providing a ladder out of poverty for the truly needy. Providing opportunity for low-income Americans through the Earned Income Tax Credit and programs to upgrade their skills is vital. No one who works full time should be poor in this country. Free, competitive markets are the best way to deliver goods and services to Americans. Government must not get in the way of that system. Nor should it stand idle. The right response by government to our economic challenges is not to focus on the immediate economic problems of the day, but to invest in economic growth for all. *** Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University.

In last week’s issue of the Fowlerville News & Views, an advertisement was published on a planned fundraiser to assist the family of Hunter Hath, a four-year-old boy who is currently Âżghting the battle against kidney cancer. He is the son of Jason and Katie Hath of Fowlerville. In the ad, it was stated that the family’s “insurance will not cover the chemotherapy done or needed.â€? There was an apparent misunderstanding with organizers of the fundraiser and the Hath family. Jason Hath contacted the News & Views, asking that readers be informed that the family does have insurance, but he is not sure how much of the cost for treatment will be covered. The fundraiser would assist them in paying for any expenses that may not be covered by their insurance.

Boys & Girls Varsity Basketball Teams compete in Chelsea Tournament Detroit Henry Ford 47, Fowlerville 39 (Tuesday) The Mustangs held off the Gladiators down the stretch in the third-place game in Chelsea. “We sent them to the free-throw line in the fourth quarter, because we were down by six,� Fowlerville coach Rod Jenison said. “They kept giving the ball to (Tiera) Thomas, who was not the right person to foul.� Thomas led all scorers with 15 points, including an 11-for12 performance at the free-throw line. The Mustangs were 18-for-22 as a team, while Fowlerville was 6-for-19. “We only had seven players available,� Jenison said. “You make a couple of mistakes and you get in foul trouble and it changes the dynamics of the game.� Ollie Updike had 13 points, including three 3-pointers, for Fowlerville (2-6). Pinckney 55, Fowlerville 38 (Monday) Pinckney advanced to the girls championship game with a

55-38 win over an injury-depleted Fowlerville team. Fowlerville led for much of the Âżrst quarter and was tied, 10-10, when Lexa Elzerman hit a free throw early in the second quarter. The Pirates took a 26-15 lead at halftime and kept the Gladiators at bay the rest of the afternoon. “A lot of this has to do with the fact we only have six or seven girls,â€? Fowlerville coach Rod Jenison said. “They got a little wore down, and we don’t have the right substitution going on without having a very long bench. So you can see the turnovers start to happen as the kids get more and more tired.â€? South Lyon 44, Fowlerville 43 (Tuesday) Jerod Allen’s 3-pointer with three seconds left won it for the Lions (1-5), who earned their Âżrst victory of the season against Fowlerville in the third-place game at the Chelsea Holiday Tournament. “We were up by six points in the fourth quarter, but we gave up too many second-chance points,â€? Fowlerville coach Fred Hackett said. “We got a last shot off, but it didn’t drop.â€? Connor Collins had 15 points to pace the Gladiators (2-3), while Drew Vielbig had 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Chelsea 67, Fowlerville 58 (Monday) Connor Collins had 22 points and Drew Vielbig had 17 points and 16 rebounds for the Glads (2-2), who couldn’t overcome a 24-4 Chelsea run in the second quarter. “They shot the lights out,â€? Fowlerville coach Fred Hackett said. “We made some adjustments, but we didn’t communicate very well and they made their open shots.â€? Collin Steinhauer had 19 of his 22 points in the Âżrst quarter for Chelsea. “We did a better job of slowing him down,â€? Hackett said. “Our guys never quit. We just used up too much energy trying to come back.

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, January 4, 2015 – Page 13

Dr. Vaupel, continued acreage had recently been obtained by the township in a court settlement, and then re-zoned for industrial use. The goal of the transaction, and the subsequent zoning change, was to sell the property to a developer and use the proceeds to pay down the debt the township owes to Livingston County. Much of this debt occurred when the township sold a bond to construct a sewer line along West Grand River, from the village to Nicholson Road, to service a planned 212home development on 168 acres of the property. A special assessment was charged to the owner of the property. The plan was that, as the homes were built, the one-time connection fees as well as the ensuing usage fees would cover the township’s annual bond payments. The development, however, failed to materialize. No payments were made by the owner on the special assessment, so the delinquent payments were added to the site’s property taxes. When those taxes also became delinquent, the county (as it does with all municipalities) paid the amount. However, eventually the township has to reimburse the county for this money and, under law, the county can charge an interest rate of up to 16 percent a year, further enlarging the debt “We sold the site for $3.2 million on a land contract with a one-year balloon,â€? noted Vaupel. “The company will be submitting a site plan to the planning commission in the near future and will have a year to do its due diligence.â€? Vaupel noted that this ‘green energy’ company is currently headquartered in Oakland County. “As I understand it, the Âżrm will use recycled rubber and plastics to produce fuel products,â€? he said. “This is a new process, with a lot of potential.â€? The company will use only a small portion of the land, estimated at 16 to 26 acres, for its facility and will utilize the railroad line on the southern boundary of the site. The company plans to develop the remainder of the land as an industrial park. “The park will probably be similar to the one on Garden Lane in the Village, with small or medium-sized companies on small plots,â€? said Vaupel. While the money from the sale would take a large chuck

Putting that issue aside, Vaupel said there were several other highlights. “The major accomplishment,â€? he said, “has been to work within our budget during the economic downturn and declining property values, and still provide services to our residents and maintain a fund balance. “We used the one mill residents voted in for road maintenance to re-pave Van Buren Road and part of Nicholson Road,â€? he noted. “We also put on additional gravel for other roads and did the dust control. During this time frame, the county road commission re-paved South Fowlerville Road and this past fall put in the new bridge on West Grand River. Road work requires constant maintenance. I don’t believe we ever get ahead of it.â€? Another accomplishment he cited was upgrading the ofÂżce’s computer hardware and software capability. Prior to becoming the supervisor, Vaupel served on the township board as a trustee. He came into ofÂżce 30 years ago in November 1984. From that longer vantage point, he listed the development of the Fowlerville Proving Grounds and the construction of the sewer plant on Van Buren Road as two major milestones.

Senior Spotlight-- Elizabeth Clark

By Jessica Haite Elizabeth Clark has been an active member of Webberville Schools for her entire life. She is the daughter of Patti and Steve Paul. Clark has three brothers, two of which attended Webberville: Troy Deering who graduated in 2005, Andrew Clark who graduated in 2008, and Patrick Clark who graduated from Houghton Lake in 2012. Clark has an outgoing personality that will make you laugh and she will always be honest no matter the circumstances. If she sees that someone is having trouble she will try to help them through it. “She is a good friend because she is honest, headstrong, nice, and caring,â€? said Chelsey Lorenz, close friend since third grade and fellow senior. “Elizabeth is very trustworthy and her spunky attitude will be missed,â€? Lorenz adds. Clark’s favorite classes are musical theater, Consumer Math, and zoology. Clark has been a part of the musical theater and choir programs for Âżve years. “One of my favorite memories is of Elizabeth wanting to write in the part of a unicorn in the musical,â€? choir and musical theater teacher, Michael Wheaton, laughed. “I will miss having Elizabeth in my choir and musical theater classes. Her dry sense of humor will be missed most along with her extreme creativity; I’ve learned to expect the unexpected with her.â€? Wheaton added. Clark also likes learning about personal Âżnance in consumer math. “I like consumer math because it is useful and I will be using it every day, unlike some of the other math classes I have taken,â€? Clark said. Clark also loves the class zoology because she gets to learn more about the animals. The zoology class participated in the state FFA Broiler Contest. Clark learned how to manage and take care of the chickens properly. “Mr. Moulton, Mr. Wheaton, Mrs. Haskell, and Mrs. Sweet-House have all made the biggest impact on my high school career. They have helped me understand the ways of life and also taught me the importance of all the classes that I have taken,â€? Clark said. Since her junior year, Clark has also been part of the FFA. She is hoping she will be able to show cattle her senior year at Webberville High School. Webberville FFA’s Food for America program is among her favorites. “Agstravaganza is one of the school activities that I will miss most. I just love seeing the cows,â€? Clark said. Clark was asked what she will miss most about her years at Webberville Schools and she replied, “Honestly, nothing. I will still see my closest friends and school just wasn’t my thing, I’d rather be outside with the animals than at school. When I graduate I will tell my friends that I will see you all tomorrow. I don’t regret anything that I have done through my high school career.â€? Clark wants to go to college to become a horse trainer so that she can help the mistreated horses. Clark has advised all the underclassmen, “Don’t slack off and turn in all your homework on time.â€?

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, January 4, 2015 – Page 17

Little Glad Center News

With plans for the community’s 150th anniversary in 1986 (the Sesquicentennial) getting underway, historical sketches became a reoccurring part of the paper in the year leading up to the event feature, then Dawn took it over. This proved a reader favorite and gave her an opportunity to get to know many of the ladies in the community. Incidentally, a man was featured in one of the early issues— Fred Kessler. With the community preparing to celebrate its Sesquicentennial (150th birthday) in 1986, and the Fowlerville Fair planning to observe its centennial at the same time, I started offering historical sketches. The ¿rst article appeared in July, and they continued on a regular basis for the next eight months. These historical pieces coincided with regular reports on the plans for the upcoming celebration. All of this coverage culminated with the various community festivities held during the July 4th weekend in 1986, followed a couple of weeks later with activities at the fair. We took numerous photos of the events. Another factor in gaining interest, in my view, was the liberal use of photos. The technology of developing pictures had made it possible to get them back more quickly. Initially, we used an overnight service and then we could get the photos done in as little as an hour. Also, we could use color photos rather than having to hire someone to process them as black-and-white copies. The color photos could be converted into half-tones by the printer, and the cost of half-tones had become more affordable. Adding lots of pictures to the copy turned us into a more “people-oriented” publication. We still printed hard news— the village council and school board meetings were regularly reported—but we became more and more (what I called) a Community Bulletin Board. Upcoming club meetings, special events, student achievements, pro¿les, governmental notices, sports results, school lunch menu, articles on new and existing businesses became the staples of our new publication. One of the articles I did that ¿rst year, a bittersweet one, was pro¿ling Hope Killenger on the occasion of her retirement as the village librarian. She was a neighbor, but I knew her from my regular visits to the library as I grew up. That was followed by an introduction of the new librarian, Cheryl Poch, who started working here on Oct. 17. Cheryl eventually became a regular contributor to the News & Views. Here are a few other highlights from that ¿rst year of publication: --Larry Clark and Dean Petri were the co-chairs of the Fowlerville athletic Boosters Millionaire Party. --Glen Carson was honored by Michigan State University as one of six recipients of the ‘Distinguished Staff Award’. --Dean Donal was named a recipient of the U.S. Math Award. --Howard Dorrance was named as the new Director of the village’s Dept. of Public Works. --Keri Braun was selected as a ¿nalist of the 1985 Miss Michigan National Pre-teen Pageant to be held in Grand Rapids --Clayton Klein was the guest speaker at the Fowlerville Alumni Banquet, and talked about his canoe trips in the Northwest Territories of Canada. -- The Fowlerville High Class of 1985 held graduation ceremonies, with 155 seniors receiving diplomas. Teresa Douglass was the valedictorian, and Sharon Slawski was the Salutatorian.

Dawn Horton wrote a weekly article called What’s Cookin’ that pro¿led women from the area, and an occasional man. It included a favorite recipe. Among those featured was Waneta Dorrance. --Myrtle Ebert, a longtime elementary teacher, retired. She’d taught in the local system since 1957. --John Pikkarainen and Cheryl Morse were elected to the Fowlerville Board of Education. --The new lettering for the H.T. Smith Elementary School was installed. The building was named in honor of the former superintendent who served here from 1930-1948. His widow, Laura Smith, was on hand to see the new feature. Hosting her was principal, Natalie Kreeger (who later had an elementary building named in her honor.) --Father Charles Jacobs retired from his active duties with the Roman Catholic Church. He had been the parish priest at St. Agnes for over 12 years. --Tim’s Pharmacy was sold to Proos Pharmacy of Pinckney. Tim Hoy had been in business here for about 20 years and served as a village president and on the council during the mid-to-late 1970’s. --The 99th annual Fowlerville Fair was held for eight days, starting on Saturday, July 13. --Webberville held its 2nd annual Corn Festival in early August. -- An organizational meeting was held on Sept. 25 at the village of¿ce to begin plans for the community’s 150th anniversary next July 1986. --Over 1,100 people turn out for the Fowlerville Rotary Club’s annual Dawn Patrol at Maple Grove Airport. --Marvin Hodge was selected as the Grand Marshal for the Leroy Township Fireman’s Field Days & Ox Roast. He was the long-time owner of Vern’s Service in Downtown Webberville, selling Standard Oil gas and doing auto repairs. --Howard and Waneta Dorrance sold Howard’s Market to the Habba family. The grocery store’s new name will be Save-On Family Foods. --Angie Risdon and Joe Hune served as this year’s Fowlerville Homecoming crown bearers. Keith Dotts and Tammy Perroud were named King and Queen. --The Village of Fowlerville purchased the Centennial Field from the school district for $1. --The Community State Bank (now Chase), located in downtown Fowlerville, was robbed in late October. --Workers at Stanley Tools, located at West Frank and South Detroit (now Veterans Drive), went out on strike. The company soon decided to close the plant. Tonya Ebert was named as the school’s DAR Good Citizen. --The newly-formed Fowlerville Business & Professional Association plans to host some yuletide events for the downtown on two consecutive weekends in December. It will be titled “A Down Home Christmas in Fowlerville. -- Jill Van Stee, a senior guard-forward on the Gladiators girls basketball team, was named to the Class B All-State Team. Coach Tom Tannar described Jill “as the ¿nest player to come out of the girls basketball program since it began.” -- Tom Tannar, who had been serving as the interim administrator at the middle school for the past month since principal Doug Rearick resigned (due to the illness of a friend in his care), was named to that post in December by the board of education. Tannar is a 1965 FHS graduate and has been a middle school math and science teacher here for the past 17 years.

Hune bill requiring drug testing for welfare recipients approved by governor Governor Snyder approved HB 4118 and SB 275 on Friday, Dec. 26, o help ensure public assistance is going to the most needy recipients, not criminals or drug abusers. Sponsored by Senator Hune and Representative Farrington, the bills are now PA 394 and 395 of 2014 respectively. In 1996, the federal government enacted the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which established the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Since then, TANF has continuously been abused by those looking to take advantage of the care and support of others, most speci¿cally drug abusers. Senate Bill 275, sponsored by Sen. Joe Hune, will amend the Social Welfare Act to require the Michigan Department of Human Services (DHS) to establish and administer a pilot program of suspicion-based substance abuse screening and testing for Family Independence Program (FIP) applicants and recipients. The testing will occur in three counties determined by the department. “I am happy that Governor Snyder approved this legislation,” said Hune, R-Hamburg. “This common-sense reform will ensure that only the neediest and law-abiding citizens receive aid in the form of our hard-earned tax dollars.” Additionally, the measure requires the DHS to refer an applicant or recipient to department-designated community mental health entities if it were the ¿rst time the individual tested positive for illegal use of a controlled substance. The DHS would have to terminate FIP assistance for individuals who either failed to participate in treatment offered by community mental health entities, failed to test negative a second or subsequent time, or failed to submit to required periodic substance abuse testing.
