By Cheryl Poch Here is a little October/Halloween trivia. Did you know that Halloween customs originated as a means of frightening away spirits eager to possess the living? The earliest American mischief night pranks were overturning outhouses and unhinging front gates. According to Panati’s Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things, the most widely accepted origins of trick-or-treating traces the practice to the ninth-century European custom of “souling.” On All Soul’s Day, Christians walked from village to village begging for square biscuits with currants, called soul cakes. The beggars promised to offer up prayers for the dead relatives of the donors, the number of prayers to be proportional

to the donors’ generosity. The quantity of prayers a dead person amassed was signi¿cant in a practical way, for limbo was the penitential layover stop on the journey to heaven, and suf¿cient prayer, even by an anonymous individual, greatly shortened the stay.” I remember growing up in Detroit, when going trick-ortreating we used to say, “Help the poor.” Not sure where that saying came from, but I prefer trick-or-treat. Actually, I just prefer treats! Did you know that it is bad luck to leave a pumpkin in your bedroom overnight? The Irish originated the term jacko-lantern, taken from Irish folklore. As the legend goes, a man named Jack, notorious for his drunken and mischievous ways, tricked the devil into climbing up a tree. Quickly carving a cross into the tree’s trunk, Jack trapped Satan until he swore he would never again tempt Jack to sin. More to the story – Jack was condemned to wander in frigid darkness until Judgment Day. He was allotted a single coal that would last an agonizingly short time. Putting the ember into a turnip he had chewed hollow, he formed Jack’s lantern! It really is fun to read about folklore and ¿nd out where ‘things’ originated, how and why they came to be as they are today! Does that make sense? Well, you get my ‘drift!’ So stop by the Fowlerville Library and check out all the great reading, viewing, and listening materials available for you to check out! Until next week – Have a Boo-ti-ful week and our quote off my desk calendar – “Laugh it Up!”

Fowlerville & Webberville announce Halloween Trick or Treat hours Halloween Trick or Treat hours will be 6 to 8 p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 31, in both the Village of Fowlerville and the Village of Webberville.

Fowlerville Varsity Football Team earns Homecoming win over Lakewood Fowlerville’s Varsity Football Team capped an already successful season with a Homecoming win over Lakewood on Friday, Oct. 16. The 24-21 victory boosted the Glads’ record to 4-4, one of their best in recent years. Fowlerville faced Lansing Waverly this past Friday (after the newspaper deadline in a bid to ¿nish the regular season with a winning record and a chance of making the playoffs. Two turnovers in the ¿rst half gave Fowlerville momentum and a lead. A blocked punt by Cody Persons put the Gladiator offense in good ¿eld position. A few plays later quarterback Nick Semke crossed the goal line on a two-yard run. That TD, along with Bailey Edward’s PAT kick, gave the team a 7-0 lead. Lakewood answered that with its own scoring drive, capped by a one-yard run. The point-after kick, though, was blocked, making it 7-6. Fowlerville improved its lead to 10-7 when Edwards culminated an ensuing drive with a successful 33-yard ¿eld goal. On Lakewood’s next possession, the ball was fumbled after a pass completion. Semke picked up the loose pigskin and scooted 57 yards for the score. Edwards’ PAT then made it 17-6. Late in the third period the Glads padded their lead to 24-6 when Semke hit Cameron Brigham on a 48-yard touchdown pass. Edwards followed with another point-after kick that split the uprights. The Vikings, who entered the game undefeated in seven games, showed their mettle with a fourth-period comeback. An offensive drive early in the quarter was capped on a threeyard run, followed by a two-point conversion. Later in the period, with a little over two minutes left on the clock, Lakewood held the Fowlerville offense and forced a punt. The kick was taken at the Lakewood 45 and returned 55 yards for the touchdown. The PAT kick then narrowed the lead to 24-21. The Vikings, however, were unable to get possession on the kick-off. With no timeouts left, they watched as Fowlerville ran out the clock to seal the win. The Gladiators had 219 total offensive yards, with 85 coming in the air and 134 on the ground. Lakewood, meanwhile, passed for 118 yards and ran for 126, giving them a total of 244 yards. Lakewood was hurt by turnovers, losing the fumble

that Semke returned for a score, but also throwing three interceptions. Semke completed 5 of 10 passes and led the rushing attack with 107 yards on 27 carries. Alex Brownlee gained 23 yards on 10 tries. Brigham caught the one pass for 48 yards, while Adam Joliff had a reception for 20 yards and Avery Slade had one for 10 yards. Leading tacklers for the Glads were Garrett Prochnow with 7.5, Slade with 6.5, Wyatt Thomas with 5.5, and Trevor Brock with 4.5.

Fowlerville High School helps more seniors complete college applications Fowlerville High School will participate in Michigan’s ¿fth annual College Application Week October 26 through October 30. The goal of the week is to give every graduating senior the opportunity to apply to college. During this event, students may apply to any of Michigan’s community colleges, independent colleges and universities, and state universities in which they are interested. Fowlerville High School will work with its seniors during College Application Week to complete and submit online at least one college application. The school-wide events and activities planned throughout College Application Week are supported by faculty, administration, the community and collaboration with the Livingston Higher Education Network. College Application Week began in North Carolina as a pilot effort of a single high school in 2005. This year, American College Application Campaign programs will take place in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The national campaign expands each year to include more high schools committed to a common goal of increasing the percentage of ¿rst-generation and low-income students to pursue a postsecondary education. Michigan College Application Week is sponsored by the Michigan College Access Network.

Proving Grounds) I was honored to represent Fowlerville Community Schools at the recent 10-year anniversary of FT Techno of America (FTTA), otherwise known as the Fowlerville Proving Ground, located south of town. Over the years, they have forged a strong partnership with the Fowlerville community as well as Fowlerville Community Schools. For many years, they have sponsored, free to our students, an advanced driving course that allows our students to practice driving in extreme conditions so they can become safer drivers. Of course their facility and unique driving surfaces makes them an excellent location to conduct this type of training. If the safe driving school wasn’t enough to show their commitment to education and Fowlerville Community Schools, FTTA donated $20,000 to our school district. We are both honored by and grateful for their generosity. Their wish is for our school system to use the funds to support and SURPRWH OHDUQLQJ LQ WKH ¿HOG RI HQJLQHHULQJ 0\ OHDGHUVKLS WHDP ZLOO EHJLQ H[SORULQJ ZD\V WR IXO¿OO WKHLU ZLVK , FDQQRW express my thanks enough to FTTA for their generosity and support of quality education. *** NATIONAL BUS SAFETY WEEK – We just concluded National Bus Safety Week (October 19-23) and I want to take a moment to thank our drivers and riders for their attention to bus safety. All of the rules that are in place for the bus ride to and from school are grounded in providing the safest ride possible.

In 1988, Livingston County voters approved 3.1 mills to be used by local districts to offset the cost of special education services. The 3.1 mills that were approved were rolled back by 1.0435 mills by the Headlee Amendment, which meant a loss of $700,000 per year to Fowlerville Community Schools. Because special education services are mandated services, the loss of $700,000 has been replaced by $700,000 from the general fund to the detriment of staff, programs and facility XSNHHS WKDW ZRXOG EHQH¿W DOO VWXGHQWV 3OHDVH WDNH WKH WLPH to vote on November 3rd.

Michigan Senate Report By Joe Hune, 22nd District

Disposing of Hazardous Household Waste :KHQ SHRSOH WKLQN RI KD]DUGRXV ZDVWH WKHLU ÂżUVW thoughts probably go to nuclear waste or workers wearing full protective body suits to clean up a chemical spill. But hazardous waste is all around us. And the removal of that waste is a serious issue. From oil-based paint to bug spray, hazardous materials are all around our homes. Robert Spaulding of the Livingston County Department of Public Works says that, “too often, it is easier to do the wrong thing than to do the right thingâ€? when it comes to removing hazardous waste from our homes. Frankly, too many people just don’t know what to do with stuff like latex paint or unneeded prescription medicine. Simply put, you can’t and shouldn’t just throw this material in the trash. If you’re worried about getting rid of hazardous waste from your home, don’t despair. “There are options out there for safe disposal of household hazardous waste; you just have to look,â€? Spaulding said. Livingston County has many options available. They will collect your old mercury thermometers, oven cleaners, unneeded antifreeze and old weed killer, among many other items. All you need to do is contact the Livingston County Solid Waste Program at 517545-9609 or by email at solidwaste@livgov.com to schedule an appointment or to get more information. There are many programs in place to help remove hazardous waste from our community. The Big Red Barrel Program, for instance, helps remove unneeded prescription medicines. And if you’re worried about getting rid of unwanted latex paint, check out the Habitat for Humanity Restore in Brighton, or the Recycle Livingston recycling center. These places will work with you on discarding any old paint around your home. Additionally, be sure to watch out for hazardous waste removal days throughout the year hosted by Livingston County. They are hosted each spring, summer and fall. Check out www.livgov.com to Âżnd out when the next hazardous waste removal day is coming up, and be sure to check out the Livingston County guide, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and Safe Disposal for the latest on disposing hazardous household materials. It is important that we are mindful of hazardous waste removal from our households. It’s easy to neglect safe

McKenzie Kollek moved to Webberville Schools in third grade. Kollek is the daughter of Stacey Flynn, the late Greg Flynn, and Jeremy and Lindsay Kollek. Kollek is also the sister of Eric and Brent Flynn, both Dansville graduates, and Makayla Flynn, a current senior at Dansville. Kollek has been involved with many extracurricular activities in her high school career. “What I’m going to miss most about high school is the FFA program and my sports,â€? said Kollek. She has participated in volleyball for three years, basketball for two years, and softball for three years. Kollek has also been a part of journalism for two years and FFA for four years. “I have enjoyed the opportunity to watch McKenzie grow into a strong, hard working and conÂżdent person,â€? said FFA and journalism advisor Colleen Scott Keiser. “She is very determined and has worked hard to manage so many different aspects of her life. Kenzie is committed to her family and friends—such attributes will take her far in life.â€? Kollek has made many lifelong friends throughout her school career. “Kenzie and I have been friends for as long as I’ve been at Webberville, she’s supportive and caring, and she can do anything she sets her mind to,â€? said senior and fellow classmate Autumn Stowe. “I really hope Kenzie pursues something that will showcase her artistic talents.â€? Kollek also attended Capital Area Career Center for two years, participating in the cosmetology program. She has put a lot of time in on Saturdays to earn enough hours to take the Cosmetology State Board Test, scheduled at the end of the year. “The thing I love most about Kenzie is her dedication and commitment to our program; she has great attendance and is a very extraordinary person. She is kind to everyone,â€? said CACC Cosmetology teacher Kathy Cochran. “I hope she pursues a career in cosmetology and furthers her education to a higher level.â€? As a talented photographer, artist, and cosmetologist, Kollek has many paths to choose from after graduating high school. Although she is still undecided on the college she wants to attend, she is leaning toward Grand Valley State University. She intends to use her skills in cosmetology as a side interest and backup plan. She plans to study nursing and later wants to become a registered nurse. “My advice to underclassmen is be involved with everything you can because high school Ă€ies by faster than you think,â€? said Kollek.

IRS urges public to stay alert for scam phone calls

The IRS continues to warn consumers to guard against scam phone calls from thieves intent on stealing their money or their identity. Criminals pose as the IRS to trick victims out of their money or personal information. Here are several tips to help you avoid being a victim of these scams: Scammers make unsolicited calls. Thieves call taxpayers claiming to be IRS of¿cials. They demand that the victim pay a bogus tax bill. They con the victim into sending cash, usually through a prepaid debit card or wire transfer. They may also leave “urgent” callback requests through phone “robo-calls,” or viaphishing email. Callers try to scare their victims. Many phone scams use threats to intimidate and bully a victim into paying. They may even threaten to arrest, deport or revoke the license of their victim if they don’t get the money. 6FDPV XVH FDOOHU ,' VSRR¿QJ Scammers often alter caller ID to make it look like the IRS or another agency is calling. The callers use IRS titles and fake badge numbers to appear legitimate. They may use the victim’s name, address and other personal information to make the call sound of¿cial. Cons try new tricks all the time. Some schemes provide an actual IRS address where they tell the victim to mail a receipt for the payment they make. Others use emails that contain a fake IRS document with a phone number or an email address for a reply. These scams often use of¿cial IRS letterhead in emails or regular mail that they send to their victims. They try these ploys to make the ruse look of¿cial. Scams cost victims over $23 million. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, or TIGTA, has received reports of about 736,000 scam contacts since October 2013. Nearly 4,550 victims have collectively paid over $23 million as a result of the scam. The IRS will not: --Call you to demand immediate payment. The IRS will not call you if you owe taxes without ¿rst sending you a bill in the mail. --Demand that you pay taxes and not allow you to question or appeal the amount you owe. --Require that you pay your taxes a certain way. For instance, require that you pay with a prepaid debit card. --Ask for your credit or debit card numbers over the phone. --Threaten to bring in police or other agencies to arrest you for not paying. If you don’t owe taxes, or have no reason to think that you do: --Do not give out any information. Hang up immediately. --Contact TIGTA to report the call. Use their “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting” web page. <ou can also call 800-366-4484. --Report it to the Federal Trade Commission. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistant” on FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” in the notes. If you know you owe, or think you may owe tax: --Call the IRS at 800-829-1040. IRS workers can help you. Phone scams ¿rst tried to sting older people, new immigrants to the U.S. and those who speak English as a second language. Now the crooks try to swindle just about anyone. And they’ve ripped-off people in every state in the nation. Stay alert to scams that use the IRS as a lure. Tax scams can happen any time of year, not just at tax time. For more, visit “Tax Scams and Consumer Alerts” on IRS.gov. Each and every taxpayer has a set of fundamental rights they should be aware of when dealing with the IRS. These are your Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Explore your rights and our obligations to protect them on IRS.gov.

While golf is an individual game, the format in high school golf allows for the concept of team as well.

This is the type of thing that builds conÂżdence, unity, and the fact that you know your teammate and friend has your back no matter what. As a coach and parent this is what I am most proud of with these girls this season.

Webberville Elementary STARS enjoy participating in Fun Run on Oct. 9

The STARS of Webberville Elementary School were a Àurry of activity on Friday, October 9. The Boosters sponsored the WES Fun Run and all of the STARS participated! The Fun Run is a fundraiser where the students walk and run bases and play fun games to bene¿t themselves and their school. Booster volunteers were on hand to serve the children snacks and water following the run. Students gathered donations from friends, families, neighbors and businesses, and one hundred percent of the money bene¿ts Webberville Elementary School. Classrooms compete to get the most donations, and at the end of the event those students were allowed to throw water balloons at principal, Suzi Slater. Everyone enjoys watching this fun¿lled ¿nale! This year, Mrs. Perry’s ¿fth graders were the winners, collecting $1,400! A BIG thank you goes out to the following individuals for their help and support at another successful Fun Run: Heather Derian, Michelle Szilagyi, Melissa Williams, Kate Sicher, Joan Vogt, Jacqualynn Sholty, Stephanie Kirby, Vikki Peterson, Colette Heinig, Kristina Klein, and Toni Orta.

mortgages on TV, don’t believe everything you hear. Many of these ads are misleading and don’t always give you the whole story. In fact, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently issued a warning to seniors to watch out for these deceptive advertisements. With that said, here’s the lowdown on reverse mortgages. The Basics A reverse mortgage is a unique type of loan that allows older homeowners to borrow money against the equity in their house that doesn’t have to be repaid until the homeowner dies, sells the house or moves out for at least 12 months. At that point, you or your heirs will have to pay back the loan plus accrued interest and fees, but you will never owe more than the value of the house. It’s also important to understand that with a reverse mortgage, you, not the bank, own the house, so you’re still required to pay your property taxes and homeowners insurance. Not paying them can result in foreclosure. To be eligible, you must be at least 62 years old, own your own home (or owe only a small balance) and currently be living there. <ou will also need to undergo a Âżnancial assessment to determine whether you can afford to continue paying your property taxes and insurance. 'epending on your Âżnancial situation, you may be required to put part of your loan into an escrow account to pay future bills. If the Âżnancial assessment Âżnds that you cannot pay your insurance and taxes and have enough cash left to live on, you’ll be denied. Loan Details Around 95 percent of all reverse mortgages offered today are Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), which are FHA insured and offered through private mortgage lenders and banks. HECM’s also have home value limits that vary by county, but cannot exceed $625,500. How much you can actually get through a reverse mortgage depends on your age, your home’s value and the prevailing interest rates. Generally, the older you are, the more your house is worth, and the lower the interest rates are, the more you can borrow. A 70-year-old, for example, with a home worth $250,000 could borrow around $1 6,000 with a Âżxedrate HECM. To estimate how much you can borrow, use the reverse mortgage calculator at reversemortgage.org. You also need to know that reverse mortgages are expensive with a number of fees, including: a 2 percent lender origination fee for the Âżrst $200,000 of the home’s value and 1 percent of the remaining value, with a cap of $6,000; a 0.5 percent upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) fee, plus an annual MIP fee that’s equal to 1.25 percent of the outstanding loan balance; along with an appraisal fee, closing costs and other miscellaneous expenses. Most fees can be deducted for the loan amount to reduce your out-of-pocket cost at closing. To receive your money, you can opt for a lump sum, a line of credit, regular monthly checks or a combination of these. But in most cases, you cannot withdraw more than 60 percent of the loan during the Âżrst year. If you do, your upfront MIP fee will be bumped up to 2.5 percent. Get Educated To learn more, read the National Council on Aging’s online booklet “Use Your Home to Stay at Home,â€? which you can download at homeequityadvisor.org. Also note that because reverse mortgages are complex loans, all borrowers are required to get face-to-face or telephone counseling through a HUD approved independent counseling agency before taking one out. Most agencies charge around $125 to $250. To locate one near you, visit go. usa.gov/v2H, or call 800-569-4287. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Ask the Michigan State Trooper

Well, it has been six months and we here at the Michigan State Police Brighton Post have decided to keep him. Keep who you may ask? In February of this year, Lt. Kevin Caldwell began work here at the Brighton post. I asked Lieutenant Caldwell to write the “Ask a Trooper Columnâ€? this week, introducing himself to you. Lieutenant Caldwell has been a welcomed addition to the Brighton post with his hard work and dedication to our post area. (Sgt. Michael Sura) By Lt. Kevin Caldwell I never thought I would make it back, but it Âżnally happened. After graduating from trooper recruit school in 1999, I was assigned to the Jackson post. Not exactly a stone throw to Comerica Park or Ford Field which I was accustomed to. I grew up in Taylor, but my family is from North Carolina. My name is Kevin Caldwell, and I serve as the new Assistant Post Commander for the Brighton post of the Michigan State Police. The Brighton post is very busy and covers complaint investigation and trafÂżc matters in /ivingston and Washtenaw Counties. I was recently promoted from sergeant to lieutenant, and have been fortunate to have interesting assignments throughout my career with the State Police; like providing personal security for two of our governors and working on a criminal interdiction unit. I come from a military family where three of my four older brothers and my father have served in the armed forces. Family gatherings are normally very interesting, as the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps are all represented-- every military joke on each branch has been galvanized over countless Thanksgiving dinners. One of the great honors of my life, besides being a father and husband, has been to serve in the United States Armed Forces. I continue to serve today in the Army Reserves. Most everyone I meet assumes that I must be a military policeman due to my career with the State Police; however, I decided to take a much different path. While working the midnight shift as a trooper, I took an additional 96 credit hours on top of an already earned bachelor’s degree to meet the seminary requirements to become a U.S. Army Chaplain. I very much enjoy leading soldiers in this capacity, ensuring they are physically, mentally, and spiritually strong for the challenges they face. I serve as the sole chaplain in a combat unit that numbers around 1300 soldiers. My hope is that I can lead and support the wonderful men and women working as troopers and sergeants at the Brighton post, so they can continue to provide quality law enforcement services to all of our citizens. I assure you, their reputation for excellence is well-known throughout all of the State Police posts throughout our great State. I do not take lightly the responsibility it is to serve you, getting to do it closer to my hometown is even more of an honor. 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.

Michigan House Report

treatment options that exist. Spina bi¿da is a neural tube birth defect that causes faults in the spinal cord and in the bones of the spine. Too often, parents are not made aware of the many options their baby has for treatment and this legislation would seek to increase education and awareness for those alternatives. ***

Letter to the Editor--

By Dr. Hank Vaupel 47nd District

I would like to thank all who attended last week’s of¿ce hours in the district. We had more people stop by than ever before and a wide array of conversation topics, from roads to no-fault auto insurance and rural broadband access and everything in between. I hope you’ll join me for next month’s of¿ce hours on Friday, Nov. 20. *** On Wednesday the Michigan House of Representatives approved a road funding plan that incorporates recommendations from both the governor and the Senate. More importantly, this plan reÀects what we learned from Proposal 1, that Michigan residents want a no-nonsense plan with no unrelated spending. This plan funds our roads responsibly using targeted funds. The new plan will utilize $600 million in existing funds as well as another $600 million in new revenue. This new revenue will go towards transportation and nothing else. This plan also ensures tax relief for seniors and middle-class and lower income families through the Homestead Property Tax Credit and potential state income tax reductions. The plan is intended to keep fees and increases modest while reducing annual car repair costs for Michigan drivers. Although I did not support the registration fee increases, I look forward to ¿nalizing the best road funding plan that we can with the Senate and the governor. If you have any questions regarding this plan, please call my of¿ce, or visit my website atwww.RepHankVaupel.com. *** I am currently working on legislation that would require physicians to direct parents with babies diagnosed with spina bi¿da to a state website that provides information on various

State Rep. Hank Vaupel serves coffee to local residents as a celebrity server at the Genesis House event at Olden Days Café in Fowlerville. I enjoyed participating as a “celebrity server” for the Genesis House event at Olden Days Café in Fowlerville. Genesis House is a wonderful non-pro¿t organization that provides support, housing assistance, employment and education for /ivingston County residents recovering from mental disabilities. It was great to see so many residents come out for Genesis House. I look forward to participating in these local community events and meeting new faces along the way. *** My of¿ce staff and I would like to offer a warm welcome to our new intern, area resident Bradley Horton who will begin serving in our of¿ce on Monday, Oct. 26. Bradley is a graduate of Grand Valley State University where he majored in Political Science and earlier in the year he received his J.D. from Cooley /aw School. This past week he learned that he

I would like to give another perspective to the conversation between Olivia Verfaillie and the good Dr. Higby concerning Bibles at school. The words of the Constitution say “The Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” This restriction is on the government not on religion. A publicly-funded school’s handbook of regulations needs common sense rules necessary for orderly functioning of the school. They should also follow the Constitution’s requirement of silence on the free exercise of the religions of staff and student alike. The freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution should be practiced to their full extent especially in organizations funded by the general collection of taxes. If having a certain book available is part of a person’s religion, they should be allowed to have it at school. The idea of separation of church and state was supported and ¿rst practiced by the Baptists in the colony of Rhode Island to expand liberty to all religions. How does this apply to a student bringing a Bible to school? The school is the “state” because it receives required tax money and is governed by the laws of the land. Who or what is the church in this matter? The student is not the church. The Bible is not the church. How can it be a matter of church and state if there is no church involved? In this modern age, The Bible, Koran, the writings of Mao, and almost any other book are readily available on the phone that is in the hand of many, if not most students. This fact makes most of the comments of all three of us relatively irrelevant, because all students with a smart phone bring a Bible with them to school every day. Carrying the Bible, as a separate book, to school in a free society must be allowed unless it is used by the student to disrupt the learning process or misused to incite physical violence. Sincerely, Douglas Helzerman

Guest-Adult D ur O e B at er te un ol V ri et P James For over three years, since he was a sixth grader, James Petri has been a volunteer at the Be Our Guest-Adult Day Service, a program offered by the /ivingston County Catholic Charities at its Howell location. James, who is now in ninth grade, attends Fowlerville High School. His parents are Michelle Riddle and Derek Petri. He has a younger brother, Nicholas. The Day Service, which is open Monday thru Friday, hosts older adults suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It is designed to provide families or other caregivers with a respite from their duties. James’ mother, Michelle, is an of¿ce manager at Catholic Charities, which is how he got involved in helping out. “I entertain the guests,” he said. “We do various activities, like outdoor exercises, playing wii video games, and having sing-a-longs. I also help serve lunch and snacks.” On average, James has volunteered once a month during school and once a week during school breaks and summer vacation. The exception was this fall when he joined the freshman football team, which holds practices and games after school. “I do plan to help out during the Thanksgiving break and Christmas vacation,” he said. The Adult Day Service generally has six to ten guests on any given day. James said that he’s gotten to know three of them fairly well. “Chuck is a World War II veteran who has Alzheimer’s,” he noted. “Bill is suffering from dementia. He’s extremely funny and is always telling jokes. Ann used

to be a model.” James said that he “likes helping the guests,” adding, “It’s nice to see them laugh and smile.” As he’s gotten older, and more familiar with the place, James’ involvement has expanded. “At ¿rst I just served lunch. Then I slowly began to interact with the guests. Now I assist them when they walk outside. I also come up with ideas for new activities and help the staff organize them.” While James was not looking for recognition, his volunteering caught the eye of Mark Robinson, executive director of /ivingston County Catholic Charities. Robinson nominated James for the PAWS for Applause recognition award. This award was started earlier this year by the Observer & Eccentric newspapers, in cooperation with the Detroit Tigers, as a means to recognize and applaud “extraordinary young people who have made a difference in our community.” James, it turned out, was the ¿rst winner, with three others recognized later in the summer. He received four tickets to the Detroit Tigers game on May 24, a /ittle Caesars value certi¿cate, and an autographed baseball from the Detroit Tigers team. He also got to go out onto the baseball ¿eld to receive his certi¿cate from PAWS, the Tigers’ mascot. In the nominating letter, Robinson wrote: “James Petri is the type of young man who provides me with hope for the future.” Robinson added that “James is the only consistent program volunteer under the age of 18 years and the older adults very much appreciate his youth, patience, and enthusiasm. The

ibe James as th he pe f gentleman.” staff members describe the perfect The letter also pointed out that James volunteers at other nonpro¿ts and helps with food baskets to ship to hungry families overseas. James is a tight end on the football team. He started playing the sport last season as an eighth grader in the Junior Football Program. He also plays forward in basketball, a sport he’s been playing since third grade, and ran the 200 and 400 meter sprints in junior high track, along with being on a relay team. He plans to continue his participation in both of those sports later this school year. The young man also excels in the classroom, and was a member of the Junior High Honor Society. “My favorite subjects are science and history,” he said. As a member of the German language class, he’ll be joining his other classmates on a trip to Germany this coming spring. His career goal is to become an engineer, preferably a chemical engineer. He belongs to St. John’s /utheran Church in Fowlerville. His hobbies include playing video games and weightlifting. Caughtcha Doing Something Great is a new feature that will appear twice a month, courtesy of the June and Edward Kellogg Family Dental Foundation. The goal of this feature is to recognize good deeds and positive behavior that make our community a better place to live.
