These three members of the current organizing committee were there, helping at the start. From left are Gerry Munsell, Mary Johnson, and Jon Johnson. (Gerry and Mary are brother and sister. Their ‘Country Cousins’ Team actually traces back another seven years. Mary said that she took part in the Relay for Life in %righton as an orphan the ¿rst year, then the team was formed the following and participated in Brighton’s event for the ne[t si[ years. They then helped to organize the ¿rst Relay for Life in Fowlerville and have been part of the effort since then. The planning committee for that inaugural Relay of Life included Disa Snider, the event leader; Jason Keech, the American Cancer Society contact, Diann Helzerman, Gerry and Beth Munsell, Jon and Mary Johnson, Linda Manson-

Dempsey, Whitney Hoganson, Larry Fillinger, Sarah Johnson, Cheryl Collins, Lia Jones, Jennifer Spaulding, Diane Timlick, Peter Schmid, Gwen Hoganson, Donna Chacon, and Jeanette Robertson. The theme of the ¿rst local event was ‘Relay Country Style’, while this year’s theme is a ‘Decade of HOPE’.

J America, Inc., a distribution center for custom-designed tee shirts and sportswear, received a tax abatement on a planned . million warehouse expansion, a Âżnal step needed before the construction project begins. The Fowlerville Village Council granted the abatement (formally called an Industrial Facilities (xemption CertiÂżcate at its meeting last 0onday. State law allows a local municipality to grant an abatement to TualiÂżed industrial projects of up to percent of the taxable value of the property for a maximum of 12 year. As a result of this approval, the company will pay approximately half of the property taxes on this expansion to its facility than it would otherwise be assessed. J America, which also has a center in the Webberville Industrial Park, is located on East Van Riper Road. A public hearing on the company’s application was held prior to the regular meeting. At that hearing Fred Dillingham, the president of Livingston Business Development Associates— the Âżrm that serves as an economic development consultant for the village—noted that the company is planning to build a , sTuare foot expansion that will serve as a warehouse for its distribution center. “The investment,â€? he added, “is for $1.9 million.â€?

517-376-0046

Dillingham said that the company will retain 1 current jobs and add another 18 employees over the next two years. “This project will add to the Village’s tax base and also increase the number of people we have working in our two industrial parks,â€? he pointed out. J America is a nation-wide distributor of licensed tee shirts and sportswear. It’s most prominent brand-name customer is John Deere. “Six years ago the company bought the 0ay ScoÂżeld building and did an extensive expansion of the truck dock,â€? Dillingham said. “They’re now ready to expand their facility here in Fowlerville. As a nationwide distributor, they could locate elsewhere, but they’ve been pleased with the businessfriendly atmosphere of our community. We’re fortunate to have them located in both Webberville and Fowlerville.â€? Commenting on the request, council trustee Everett DeGrush said, “I want to commend J America for the expansion and eagerly await the start of the project.â€? In other business, council was informed by its attorney, Gordon Love, that the property owner of 318 N. Second Street has given the Village permission to drain the swimming pool and, if needed, to Âżll it in. At a previous council meeting, Tom Breningstall, who lives near the house, raised safety concerns about the pool, noting that the home was now abandoned and that, while there was a fence around the pool, he did not feel the entry gate was not adequately secured. He pointed out that there is a number of young children who reside in the neighborhood and that this situation posed a danger. The attorney also informed council that the insurance carrier which had provided coverage for the home at 712 Church Street, which burned down several months ago, had given the Village a $12, check that can be used to Âżnish cleaning up the property if that need arises. 8nder the State of 0ichigan Fire Insurance Withholding Public Act, when the insurance company settles with the homeowner after a destructive Âżre, the local municipality is supposed to receive 2 percent of that settlement money, or an amount not to exceed $12, . This money is held in an escrow account. The property owner then has 12 days to adequately clean up the property. If done in a satisfactory manner, then the money in this escrow account is given to the owner. If not, then the Village can use this money for cleanup purposes. At an earlier meeting, council had been informed that the insurance carrier had inadvertently given all of the settlement money to the property owner. After hearing this report, Council Trustee Carol Hill asked who would pay for the extra clean-up cost if it exceeded $12, . She was informed that the Village would initially have to cover the expense, but that any costs above the $12, could be included as a special assessment on the parcel’s tax bill. Village President Wayne Copeland, as a side note to this discussion, noted that clean-up work has been taking place at the site and estimated it was “about halfway done.â€?

James “Jim” Edward Watters, age 73, passed away at St. Thomas Hospital Rutherford in Murfreesboro, TN, on Tuesday, September 1, 2015. He was born April 17, 1942, in Fowlerville, Michigan, to Naomi Estelle (Phillips) Watters and Lewis Vincent Watters. On September 27, 1963, he married Cheryl (McPherson) Watters, divorced on September 2, 1975. On July 2, 1977, he married Evelyn Kathleen (Pyles) Watters. With a combined 30 years of service, James served in the Army until 1980 and attained the rank of 1SG. His military career took him to various duty stations--including Germany, Fort Knox, Fort Hood, and he served one tour in Vietnam-before settling in Radcliff, Kentucky where he continued to work in the Civil Service until retiring in 1994. James was a long-standing member of the Free Masons and achieved the level of Master Mason. He was Master of Morrison Lodge #76 in 1992. James will be especially remembered for his quick wit, integrity, and strong moral base with the undaunting fortitude he possessed. He was an extraordinarily wonderful man; whom de¿nitively exempli¿ed humility and touched the life of every person who was fortunate to know him. He instilled within his children con¿dence, assertiveness, and a strong work ethic. Even though he had his own opinion base, he never imposed his opinions upon his children, but rather allowed them to form for each individually. He was both stern and gentle when needed, and always humble. He was the consummate example of a supportive and loving father whose void will be forever un¿lled. He was preceded in death by his wife, Kathy Watters; and his two brothers, Darwin Watters, and Marvin Watters. Survivors include his daughter, Julia (Watters) Hancock & Kenneth Hancock of Murfreesboro, Tennessee; son, James W. Watters & Margaret (Bradley) Watters of Fountain, Colorado; daughter, Elizabeth Watters of Killeen, Texas; step-daughter, Carla Bennett of San Miguel, California; and step-daughter Rachael (Frank) Johnson & Darren Johnson of Brooks, Kentucky; ¿ve siblings, Norman Watters, Clara Binetti, Darlene Phillips, Dennis Watters, and Dale Watters; 10 grandchildren, Jason Townsend, Stephanie (James) Schulz, Daniel Hancock, Trevor Hancock, Raymond Watters, Marlies Watters, Anthony Watters, Zachary Presas, Gabriel Presas, and Katlin Johnson; and 6 Great-Grandchildren. Visitation was held from 6:00-8:00 p.m., on Friday, September 4, 2015 and after 10:00 a.m., on Saturday at Nelson-Edelen-Bennett Funeral Home, 2072 S. Dixie Blvd, Radcliff, KY. The funeral service, including Masonic rites, took place at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday at the funeral home. Burial with military honors followed at North Hardin Memorial Gardens, Radcliff, Kentucky.

Michigan Senate Report By Joe Hune, 22nd District

Embracing New Practices: Urban Farming America has a long and storied history of agriculture. Here in Michigan, the food and agriculture industry ranks among the state’s top industries and contributes more than $100 billion to the economy eYery year, and more than one ¿fth of all jobs in the state are connected to agriculture. Within that industry, the more than 52,000 farms covering more than 10 million acres of Michigan’s land account for $13 billion of the total economic impact, raising livestock and ¿eld crops that are both enjoyed here at home and e[ported to help feed the world. Our great state leads the nation in the production of several crops, including dry beans, red tart cherries, blueberries, sTuash, nine different Àoriculture products, and cucumbers for pickling. While many of the specialty crops grown in Michigan each year come from traditional farms, the farming industry is changing and evolving every day. Farms come in all shapes and sizes, and all of them contribute to our success. In recent years there has been a farming renaissance, largely spearheaded by entrepreneurs in urban locales, such as Detroit. Fowlerville is no different. Indeed, many cities, towns and villages are now looking at farming within their urban settings. Whether it be crops, chickens, honeybees, rabbits or goats, urban farming is enhancing our communities’ lifestyles. While urban farms are mostly on a smaller scale, the process is mostly the same as that of larger farms. Urban farming is the practice of cultivating, processing and distributing food in or around a village, town or city. Many vendors at local farmers markets practice urban farming, and the practice is growing in popularity. As Michigan continues its resurgence and we continue to ¿nd new ways to reinvent ourselves, it is important to embrace non-traditional practices like urban farming. This way, our communities can continue to grow, evolve and thrive in the changing economy. Whatever the reason residents choose to farm, it is their right. Since 1981, Michiganders have had a legal right to farm under state law. So long as farmers follow the state’s Generally Accepted Agricultural and Management Practices (GAAMP), they are allowed to farm. As a farmer myself, and as the chairman of the Senate’s Agriculture Committee, I understand how important owning and operating a farm is to families. For more information on urban farming and additional resources, please feel free to contact my of¿ce. The of¿ce can be reached at 1-855-JOE-HUNE, or email us at SenJHune@ senate.michigan.gov and my staff will be happy to assist you.

Called to the Ministry

The Loss of a Dear Friend By Pastor Tom Tarpley During my journey toward the ordained ministry, the Lord used several men and women to encourage me along the way. One of those men was Gordon. Gordon was a man who lived out what it means to be a follower of Jesus. When I read Galatians 5:22-23, I often think about him, because those nine character traits Paul mentions in those two short verses were the character traits of Gordon. March 13, 2000 started out like any other Monday. I had gotten home (Asbury Theological Seminary) from Michigan around 7 p.m. the night before, and had to be in class at 9 a.m. that morning. As I was getting ready to go, the phone rang. It was Bob, a friend in Michigan, who was calling to inform me that one of my dearest friends, Gordon, had suffered a stroke while shoveling snow out of his driveway. Bob told me that Gordon had laid out in the cold for more than two hours before anyone noticed him and called for help. He added that Gordon was in a coma and was nonresponsive. The news hit me hard, and for a few minutes I was numb. I had met Gordon when I took my Âżrst (mmaus Walk, and we became friends almost instantly. He was soft spoken and full of wisdom. We spent a lot of time talking that weekend, and afterwards we started meeting once a week in our new reunion group. It was Gordon who encouraged me to give my Âżrst (mmaus Talk and talked me into accepting preaching assignments from other churches. He knew how fearful I was when it came to public speaking, and he was always supporting me with words of afÂżrmation. My church pastor began to include me in the preaching

rotation and every Âżfth Sunday it was my turn to provide the message. Gordon would drive over 50 miles and arrive at the church early to pray with me, and he always sat in the front row, with the biggest smile on his face I have ever seen. After Bob told me where Gordon was and hung up, I said a prayer for Gordon, Âżnished dressing, and went to class. As I sat in class, all I could think about was Gordon lying out in the snow, suffering, and unable to get help. After about 20 minutes, I closed my book and quietly slipped out of class. I went ne[t door to the Admissions OfÂżce and informed Gloria what had happened and told her I was headed to Michigan. Normally she would have objected, seeing how I had just got home the night before. But she knew how I felt about Gordon, and she also knew that any attempt to stop me would have been useless. I got in my car and headed toward I-75 just as it started to snow. In no time at all it was snowing so hard until trying to drive on those Kentucky roads was like driving on glass. I began to see four wheelers in the ditches, and tractor trailers on their sides. I must have passed at least 50 accidents before I got to Ohio and the further north I went, the worse the roads became. A couple of times I thought about turning back, but something in me made me go on. I had to get to Gordon. The trip took almost seven hours because I was delayed several times due to accidents or slow drivers. I arrived in Michigan and headed straight past my house, continuing on to the east side of Detroit to St. John’s Hospital, which is located on 12 Mile and Dequindre. When I got to Gordon’s room his son and daughter-in-law were with him. They left to get something to eat when I came in so we could have some time alone. Gordon was breathing on his own, but he didn’t respond to anything I said. I sat with him for another two or three hours after his son and daughter-in-law came back, praying and hoping he would wake up. But he never did. Around 9:00 p.m. I decided to leave. I prayed for him one more time and told him I would be back on Saturday when I came to town. I walked out of the hospital, pulled into the nearest gas station, Âżlled up my tank, topped off my window solvent and hit the road back to Kentucky. The road going back was just as treacherous as it was on the way up. I saw so many trucks upside down and in the ditches beside the road until I began to question my sanity. My car didn’t even have rear brakes. I received a recall notice to have them repaired, but I never took the time to take it in. I arrived safely back in Kentucky, but my thoughts were in Michigan. On Friday, I could hardly wait to get out of class and head north. This time the roads were better, and the trip only took about Âżve-and-a-half hours. It was late when I got in so I decided to go home and spend the night and then go see Gordon early the next morning. I got to the hospital around 10 a.m. His son was already there. Once again he left to give me some time alone with my friend. As I was praying for God to not let him suffer, Gordon breathed his last breath. It had only been about 15 minutes since I’d arrived. I will never forget the sound of that last breath. When his son walked into the room, I was holding Gordon’s hand. I looked up and told him, his father was gone. “He was just waiting for you to get here,â€? his son said. I believe with all my heart that Gordon held on because I had told him I would be back on Saturday, and he didn’t want to go before I came. He never regained consciousness or made any sign that he heard or understood, but I know he did. His passing took a lot out of me. I had lost a dear friend whom I miss to this day. I can still see his smile and hear him as he always responded when someone asked him how he was doing. He would always throw open both hands, as if he was about to catch a ball, and say, “I’m good and getting better.â€? Gordon was 84 years old when he went to be with the Lord.

Michigan House Report By Dr. Hank Vaupel 47nd District

This week I introduced a resolution to declare Sept. 9 as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. Healthy children are the most important resource in our great state and FASD pose a serious threat to the health of our future generations. Prenatal exposure to alcohol can cause birth defects, learning disabilities and attention de¿cits. This is truly heartbreaking because FASD is entirely preventable. It is my hope that this day will serve as a reminder that women should abstain from alcohol during the nine months of pregnancy. *** The Michigan House of Representatives resumed session this week. We continue ongoing negotiations concerning next year’s roads package as well as deliberation over several energy bills that have been proposed. *** Last week, the Michigan Agency for (nergy (MA() approved more than $89 million in energy assistance grants across the state. The grants will help families struggling to meet the costs of their home energy bills so that they move toward being self-suf¿cient. Beginning Oct. 1, households can call 2-1-1 or visit mi211. org for more information regarding eligibility requirements and referrals to agencies that can provide energy assistance services. For more information about MA(, please visit www. michigan.gov/energy. *** Has your child been screened for hearing and vision? Growing children constantly use their eyes and ears at home and school. (ye problems such as la]y eye and crossed eyes can be treated if they are found early, as well as many hearing problems that may impact your child’s ability to follow directions. This school year, the Livingston County Dept. of Public Health Hearing and Vision Program will provide on-site screening at public, private and charter schools. If your child is homeschooled and you would like them screened, or if you have any other questions regarding screening, please contact the Dept. of Public Health at (517) 546-9850.

Recent Fowlerville graduate creates high school’s newest mural

Grace Lockwood wanted to leave a lasting legacy to her school, so she created a colorful mural. After hours of searching for just the right subject, she decided on a beautiful peacock. She worked most of the year on her mural to Âżnish it before she graduated this past June. Her Artist Statement says it all. “My art was inspired by our society. People make themselves included in our world today. I would like this mural to push people out of their shells. You should never allow the inĂ€uence of other people to turn you into a person you are not. “Sane is the insanity most call normality put

Ask the Michigan State Trooper By Sgt. Michael Sura It was the day of the funeral. The day he would say goodbye to his fallen comrade. His wife told him to go get a haircut, he looked like a Q-tip. His hair was all “puffyâ€? as she put it. The man walked into the barber shop and was greeted by the barber. He had been coming here for years, always enjoying the conversation, but today was different. It was quiet - he was quiet. The barber, as always, took his apron and slapped the chair <W JeneĂ…\ .aUila 1UXaK\ +en\eZ twice, offering him a seat. The barber had read the paper and TH knew what had happened. He offered his condolences and began to get to work. The barber did not need to ask what kind of a cut he wanted -- it was the same as it had always been. The man closed his eyes and felt the cold blade touch the back of his neck. He thought of his friend, the good times and the fun. Then he thought, why? Why did this happen? What was the point? It seemed like a constant uphill battle. He was tired, this job was wearing him out. He felt as if he worked non-stop and still could not get it all done. He felt defeated. The barber continued his work, switching to the scissors and trimming his hair. The man sat in the chair, still wondering if all the effort and hard work was worth it. He thought back to his training and how happy they were to graduate. The announcement of their Âżrst work sites. Again he wondered, was it worth it? The barber was 211 N.

The man 1 block north of Grand River I` 3VJHS *LY[PĂ„LK 0UZ[HSSLYZ (JYVZZ MYVT [OL Ă„YL Z[H[PVU opened his eyes as the barber spun the chair around, as he always did. Then – it all suddenly became clear. The man was not looking at himself – he saw the image of a determined Trooper. He heard his friend’s voice say, as he did so many times during their career, “COME ON! There is work to be done! We can do better, we can get the job done!â€? He remembered the smile that followed, and the Trooper stood up. Trooper Chad Wolf did not work at the Michigan State Police Brighton Post, but he was a resident of this county.

Schools cannot be ‘open carry’ zones for guns

Column by Steven Cook President of the Michigan Education Association Imagine walking into your child’s elementary school and seeing someone with a pistol strapped to his belt. Not a police ofÂżcer or school security employee, just a citi]en. Parents at Edgerton Elementary in Clio didn’t have to imagine it, they saw it. You may think, “That can’t be legal.â€? But it is. And, a recent *enesee County Circuit Court decision afÂżrms the legal right of Michigan citi]ens with a concealed pistol license to openly carry Âżrearms in Michigan public schools. In response to this court decision, you may also think, “there ought to be a law against that.â€? The MEA and the public school employees we represent agree. The decision was the result of a Clio parent’s court challenge to Clio Area Schools’ denial of his right to openly carry his pistol inside the elementary school when he came to pick up his daughter. The circuit judge based his ruling on a 2012 Michigan Court of Appeals decision which held that Lansing Public Libraries cannot prohibit citi]ens from openly carrying guns onto library property. In the Clio case, the district argued that state law allows school districts to enact policies to safeguard students. Schools already prohibit students from bringing toy guns onto school property. The Clio school board felt that banning open carry of real Âżrearms was certainly within their right to protect their students. The judge disagreed. In his decision, he ruled that the ban intruded upon the lawmaking authority of the state, which created laws to allow open carry of Âżrearms on school grounds. Michigan legislators have repeatedly relaxed restrictions on gun owners over the last several years. However some legislators, including state Rep. Andy Schor, D-Lansing, feel they have gone too far. Schor is the sponsor of House Bill 4261, which would ban openly carrying Âżrearms in schools, saying, “We want to make sure our youth are not encountering guns in schools. It’s not part of the educational process.â€? Schor, a father of two and a gun owner, expressed his fear that “allowing openly-armed civilians to roam the halls of our schools is a recipe for disaster.â€? The recent court decision, allowing those with a concealed pistol license to openly carry, presents problems for both school employees and students. School employees do not know if someone openly carrying a Âżrearm into the school building has a concealed carry permit, or what their intentions are. When they see someone entering the building with a Âżrearm, their training and instincts tell them to protect their students by getting them out of the building or locking down their classrooms. Both school employees and school administrators support passage of legislation banning open carry of Âżrearms in public schools. It should be clear that with tragedies involving mass shootings in schools across the country, schools are not a place for gun owners to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights. The only people who should be allowed to carry Âżrearms in public schools are police ofÂżcers and school security personnel who are trained in the use of weapons for school safety. Allowing guns to be openly carried in public schools only exacerbates the fear and uncertainty of both staff and students and does not provide students with the safe environment they need to focus on learning and exploring. Enacting legislation banning guns in public schools would help provide that safe learning environment. Republicans and Democrats should agree that House Bill 4261 is a sensible Âżx to a dangerous loophole.

Savvy Senior Column By Jim Miller

Adjusted Flu Vaccine Options Available to Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, :Kat Fan yoX teOO Pe aEoXt tKiV yearœV ÀX VKot" /aVt yearœV vaFFine ZaV ineIIeFtive at SreventinJ tKe ÀX, eVSeFiaOOy aPonJ VeniorV :Kat oStionV are avaiOaEOe to Pe tKiV year" Seeking Protection Dear Seeking, You’re right. Last season’s Àu shot was not very effective at preventing the Àu. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people who got the shot were just 1 percent less likely to visit the doctor for Àu than people who did not get the shot. In good years, Àu shot effectiveness is in the 50 to 60 percent range. The reason for the shot’s ineffectiveness last year was because the vaccine was mismatched to the circulating Àu viruses, which can genetically shift from year-to-year. This year, 8.S. health of¿cials have tweaked the Àu vaccines to include last year’s missing strain, which will hopefully provide better protection. But a Àu shot is still your best defense against the Àu. So, depending on your health, age and personal preference, here are the Àu vaccine options (you only need one of these) available to older adults this year. Standard trivalent Àu shot This traditional Àu shot has been around for more than 30 years and protects against three different strains of Àu viruses. This year’s version protects against two A strains (H1N1 and H3N2), and one inÀuen]a B virus. 4uadrivalent Àu shot This vaccine, which was introduced two years ago, protects against four types of inÀuen]a – the same three strains as the standard Àu shot, plus an additional new B-strain virus. +igh dose Àu shot Designed speci¿cally for seniors, age 65 and older, this trivalent vaccine, called the )lu]one High-Dose, has four times the amount of antigen as a regular Àu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection. However, note that the high-dose option may also be more likely to cause side effects, including headache, muscle aches and fever. FluBlok vaccine Created for adults 18 and older who have egg allergies, this is a trivalent Àu vaccine that does not use chicken eggs in its manufacturing process. ,ntradermal Àu shot For those who don’t like needles, the intradermal Àu shot uses a tiny 1 16-inch long micro-needle to inject the vaccine just under the skin, rather than deeper in the muscle like standard Àu shots. This trivalent vaccine, however, is recommended only to adults, ages 18 to 64. To locate a vaccination site that offers these Àu shots, visit vaccines.gov and type in your ZIP code. You’ll also be happy to know that if you’re a Medicare bene¿ciary, Part B will cover 100 percent of the costs of any Àu shot, as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays. Private health insurers are also required to cover standard Àu shots, however, you’ll need to check with your provider to see if they cover the other vaccination options.

Pneumonia Vaccines Two other important vaccinations the CDC recommends to seniors, especially this time of year, are the pneumococcal vaccines for pneumonia. Around 1 million Americans are hospitali]ed with pneumonia each year, and about 50,000 people die from it. The CDC is now recommending that all seniors, 65 or older, get two vaccinations –Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23. Both vaccines, which are administered just once at different times, work in different ways to provide maximum protection. If you haven’t yet received any pneumococcal vaccine you should get the Prevnar 13 Âżrst, followed by Pneumovax 23 six to 12 months later. But if you’ve already been vaccinated with Pneumovax 23, wait at least one year before getting the Prevnar 13. Medicare Part B covers both shots, if they are taken at least 11 months apart.

By Hayley Wagner and Taylor Chase Haylee Augusta Elizabeth Tincher graduated in the spring of 2015. Tincher is the daughter of Donald and Beth Tincher, and the older sister to Jackson Tincher who has yet to enter school. Even though Tincher is looking forward to life after graduation, she will miss all of the memories she has made during her time at Webberville. Tincher attended three different high schools, including: Webberville for her freshman and senior years, Lake Havusu in Arizona for her sophomore year, and Howell for her junior year. At Howell High School, she has been involved in a number of different activities such as drama and poetry club. Tincher plans on attending Lansing Community College in the fall and then transferring to Wayne State University to study psychology. Throughout her time at Webberville, Tincher has made a lasting impact on her fellow classmates. “She is always willing to do anything for anyone,” said fellow senior and close friend, Alyssa Ciavarelli, “I can always count on her to be here for me, and I am proud to call her one of my close friends.” Tincher’s advice to underclassmen was to “Make sure you stay on top of your school work as much as possible. Work closely with your teachers to make sure you have in all of your assignments. Double check and triple check if you have to, it doesn’t matter!”

The Salvation Army of Livingston County needs help to stock Food Pantry The Salvation Army of Livingston County hosts a number of services to those in need, including providing food from our food pantry each year. According to the Hunger Council of Livingston County, 10,137 Livingston County residents receive government food assistance. With this many people in need, the county collaborates together to help. In 2014 The Salvation Army of Livingston County helped over 430 families with pantry food. The Salvation Army’s Summer Lunch Bunch feeding program, the supply of fresh vegetables from our community garden, and the farmers market donations have come to an end. With that in mind, The Salvation Army will need to restock their pantry soon. However, before we use the already struggling general funds to purchase pantry foods, we would like to ask the community to “Help Stock the Pantry!� “We are thinking ahead and using the donated funds wisely. Although our pantry is not completely empty, it is dwindling down and will soon only contain a hodge podge of items that do not make a complete or nutritious meal,� said Major Prezza Morrison. “By asking the community to help with the non-perishable foods, we will be able to purchase much needed meat (helping to create complete meals) that we would not otherwise have the funds to do so or better yet, use the funds for other needed services� From Sept. 14 – Oct. 16, collection boxes will be located at our three local Chambers of Commerce’s and Brighton Ford. Donation of non-perishable foods are being sought, preferably canned goods with pull tab tops Locations are the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce, the Howell Areas Chamber of Commerce, and the Hartland Chamber of Commerce. Donations of non-perishable foods and meat may also be dropped off at The Salvation Army Corps at 503 Lake Street, Howell from Monday thru Friday between 8:30am and 4:30pm. Monetary donations may be brought in to: The Salvation Army; 503 Lake Street; Howell, MI 48843; sent to The Salvation Army P.O. Box 647, Howell, MI 48844 or visit us on the web to donate at: salvationarmylivingston.org

Fowlerville Varsity Football Team loses to Linden, 57-14

Fowlerville’s Varsity Football Team lost to Linden on Thursday, Sept. 3, by a 57-14 score. Linden took a 7-0 lead midway in the opening quarter when running back Aaron Sarkon scored from one yard out and the point-after kick was good. Fowlerville answered that with an ensuing drive that culminated with quarterback Nick Semke scoring on a oneyard keeper. Bailey tied the score with his extra-point kick. From then on Linden piled up the points. They scored at the end of the opening stanza on a 35-yard run and then went ahead 21-7 in the second period. In the third period Sarkon scored on a seven-yard run. With the point after kick, Linden was ahead 28-7. A 31-yard touchdown pass from Semke to Avery Slade, with a successful point-after kick by Edwards, narrowed the gap to 28-14 with 5:50 left in the third period. Fowlerville’s comeback hopes ended, though, when Linden score again in the closing minutes of the third period and early in the fourth period. Two more scores came when Linden intercepted a Gladiator pass and returned it for a touchdown and then ran in the ball from one-yard out to culminate a drive. Statistically, the Glads had 284 offensive yards to Linden’s 247 total. Semke completed 9 of 18 passes for 126 yards, while Josh Nabozny connected on one of three attempts for 49 yards. His lone completion was to Semke. Alex Brownlee gained 48 yards on 11 carries, Scott Riley had 21 yards on four tries, Semke had 16 yards on four keepers, and Tommy Quaine had 16 yards on four runs. The varsity hosted Portland this past Friday (past the newspaper deadline) and travels to Eaton Rapids this coming Friday, Sept. 18.

Join Fowlerville Relay for Life this Saturday Column by Steve Horton As we grow older, the list gets longer. The list I’m referring to is family and friends who have been lost to cancer. Earlier this year my step-father, Bob Bartz (Grandpa Bob to his grandkids and great-grandkids) died from the disease. It was a quick-spreading variety that started in his bladder and, before detected had spread to his lungs. Bob was 84, had lived a good and long life, but even so—sans the cancer—he likely could have been with us a while longer. A few days ago we, like many others in the Fowlerville community, said “good bye” to our friend Lenny Wise. He was only 70; certainly had cancer not taken him, we would have been blessed with his presences and great wit for many more years. Others in our family, lost to cancer, include my wife’s father Leo Church, cousin Calvin Labuschewsky, cousin Jon Finlan, and Aunt Marion Bevier. The list of friends and acquaintances who have been victims of this disease is a longer one. It includes Jane Risdon, Mary Chinn, and Jane Harmon. But it has not been all doom and gloom. There have been survivors: cousin Raye Horton, my college buddy Larry Zdan, Ken Copeland, Rose Wells, and many others. The Survivor’s Lap, held at the start of the Fowlerville Relay for Life, has a lot of familiar faces. We pray they continue doing that lap in the coming years. If you are fortunate enough to reach the senior years of senior citizenship, then some disease or afÀiction is going to take you. Cancer is among the possibilities. But too often the disease strikes with regularity much younger people, leaving children without a mother or father, parents without a daughter or son, a missing grandparent, and a lost-too-soon brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin or good friend. I do not know if a cure will be found for cancer. Perhaps it will for some forms, but not all of them. I’ve read where medicine has had increasing success with treating the low-

Lt. Governor Calley advocates changes for handling special needs students By Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley This report and my outreach efforts are focused on describing the main issues and problems needing attention in Michigan in regard to special education services and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). This report is not intended as an admonishment of those who are involved with the crucial work of teaching special education students in Michigan. It is meant to be an agenda for positive discussion and change. The following ¿ve subMect areas represent the key ¿ndings from my tour and online survey. They represent the areas most cited as needing improvement from the perspective of those relying on special education services in Michigan. 1) Develop a more inclusive and transparent rulemaking process Michigan needs to develop a better system for informing and engaging with consumers of special education services before and during the rulemaking process. A key component would be to enhance the sharing of information. This should be done using plain language that limits the use of Margon, explaining what rule changes are being proposed and why they have been proposed, as well as what the desired outcome of those changes would be. An electronic distribution service could be employed to reach interested parties. The state could also expand and formalize the role of existing parent advisory committees to share information more broadly and collect feedback regarding proposed rule changes. 2) Improve access to, and the scope and quality of services Many parents reported that there is an expectation that children ¿t into the school’s structure, rather than the school providing what the child needs. Schools should have services that are better tailored to the speci¿c needs of the child. Individual Education Plans (IEPs) should indeed be individualized. While it may seem obvious that a child with Down Syndrome will need, and should receive, different services from a child with autism, many parents reported a “cookie cutter” approach that included segregation and low expectations. To help facilitate better and more successful IEPs, more effective staff training will be required, tailored to the needs of the child with whom they are working. For example, schools need to be prepared to implement best practices for teaching kids with dyslexia to read, or even identify when a child has dyslexia in the ¿rst place. This would be quite different from helping a child who is simply behind on reading comprehension skills. In some instances, the child’s needs are not being fully considered when educational plans are being formulated. For example, additional review should be afforded to the application of the “least restrictive environment” requirements under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for the deaf and hard of hearing.

grade (slow growing) varieties; however, they’ve had less success with the high-grade cancers that rapidly spread and are usually detected at a late and lethal stage. Treatment might keep the wolf-from-the-door for awhile, but not only for a time. Part of the ¿ght against cancer is to better educate the public about symptoms. Still, this is a mixed bag. A lump found on the breast, a bloody stool is noticed, a blood sample shows possible problems with the prostrate, or a colonoscopy ¿nds a polyp; these are scenarios that can result in a successful treatment or prevention strategy. Yet other symptoms are more uncertain. Is the sharp pain in the shoulder from a cancerous growth or a muscle strain? Is the headache caused by stress or a tumor? Should we run to the doctor with every ache and pain, and seem a hypochondriac, or do we go about our daily business, only to ¿nd out that should have visited our doctor earlier? While I do not know if an overarching cure for cancer is realistic, I do believe that progress has been made. Incremental. Not nearly enough in many cases, for many families, but progress nonetheless. What I have also witnessed, encompassing all of this, is the determination and resilience of the human spirit. The belief people have that they can beat cancer, or that they should at least try. It is an attitude embraced not only by the person afÀicted by the disease and their family, but by those who simply wish to lend a helping hand or moral support. They made this battle against cancer as individuals, doing what they can; however, more often and more effectively they do so in unison with others. As part of a community or common cause. Each and all pulling in harness together towards a shared goal. Maybe the goal is unreachable. Still, it is “the trying” that ultimately matters. Without that determination, even the reachable goal will be beyond our grasp. Every September for the past nine years a group of people have set up tents and tables at Fowlerville Fairgrounds, selling food and a variety of items to raise money on behalf

of the American Cancer Society. They also take turns walking around the asphalt circle. They are of course members of the Fowlerville Relay for Life. This Saturday will mark their 10th year. For all of those years, most recently this past week, I’ve taken a photo prior to the event to help promote the fundraising effort. In recent years I’ve also taken pictures of several of the participants during the Relay for Life, walked around the circle several times with the participants and other visitors, and purchased a few of those items to help the various teams reach their goals. In observation of the 10th year, the organizing committee has labeled it a “Decade of HOPE.” Ah, there’s the magic word. HOPE. A close kin to FAITH. After taking the promotion photo this past Wednesday and returning home, I recalled a line at the conclusion of The Count of Monte Cristo, a tale of revenge and intrigue that was a favorite of mine as a youngster. “All human wisdom is contained in these words--Wait and hope!” To me ‘wait’ is the patience and resolve, exhibited day after day that’s needed as one works towards a goal. Yet it also seems to me that without hope to accompany and encourage that ‘wait’, the effort might seem pointless or unobtainable. The Relay for Life, with its teams of participants, is an exercise in patient resolve and an expression of hope; a resolve and hope that one day a cure will be discovered. In the meanwhile, the event lends support to those afÀicted by cancer, consoles those who have lost a loved one to the disease, and celebrates the survivors. There are a lot of things going on this Saturday, but I urge you to make time and stop by the Relay for Life. Help them with your support, and become part of this shared belief, this act of faith that working together we can beat cancer. As you walk around that asphalt circle, alone with your thoughts, yet feeling the warm embrace of camaraderie with this group of caring friends and neighbors, as you remember the people on your list, you know that you ought to at least try.

Many parents shared concerns about mainstreaming children who are deaf. Putting deaf children in a mainstream classroom where they are unable to communicate directly with the other students may actually be the most restrictive environment, despite its noble ambitions. This further supports what we intuitively know, which is that different kids have different needs. The foundation for teaching children with special needs requires high expectations and inclusion. Given that, a well-written IEP with appropriate and measurable goals is the foundation for the individualized plan for the school year. However, I often heard that the IEPs do not include academic goals or are not written to help the student reach their full potential. In addition to academic goals, the IEPs also need more focus on independent community living and employment skills starting in middle school. Schools also need to adhere to a more thorough follow-through process for the services, goals and practices of each IEP. Many parents reported that even when they felt they had an acceptable IEP, the school’s communication on progress and the follow-through in the classroom was lacking. To help with this, there should be more openness within schools to coordinate or even integrate clinical external treatment and practices with IEPs. This should not be a situation where silos exist. Everyone involved with the rearing, treatment, and education of a child with special education needs should be fully engaged with, and informed of, the child’s activities, treatments, and educational progress. In addition to Michigan rules, laws, and best practices, the federal IDEA was designed to ensure services to children with disabilities throughout the nation. The state should provide assistance to local schools in understanding the responsibilities and requirements of IDEA and ensure compliance. The focus of all of these efforts should be to help students move toward a more independent, productive, and selfdetermined life. Unfortunately, transition services for special education students between ages 18 and 26 are seriously lacking. Career planning and transition services should start at the same time for all Michiganders, whether they are a special education or general education student. Too often, however, I have heard from parents that real transition planning does not start until the student is close to aging out of the special education system at age 25. That is simply too late. Additionally, access to career and technical education programs is dif¿cult for students with IEPs because of institutional and practical barriers. Just like with many general education students, the trades and technical education programs could offer a great career path for students with IEPs, who too often do not achieve competitive employment under the status quo. Those students need to have information about, and access to, these opportunities early in their educational experience. 3) End the practices of restraint and seclusion Using restraint and seclusion in schools is far more common

than many people believe. Years ago, the state Board of Education established a policy signi¿cantly limiting the use of these practices to instances involving imminent danger to a child or their peers. This policy, however, does not carry the force of law and is ultimately voluntary. In too many cases, from what parents are reporting, restraint and seclusion is being used as a behavior modi¿cation or control tool, which is inhumane and barbaric. In these instances, it results in increasingly dangerous situations for children and staff. Using the Board of Education’s policy as a starting point, legislation should be crafted that bans the use of restraint and seclusion in schools, except in certain speci¿ed emergency situations. In addition, we should continue to monitor emergency use in schools to ensure universal compliance with the law across Michigan. The use of restraint is often the direct result of not providing teachers and staff with the appropriate approach to shaping and managing behavior. Providing teachers and staff the fundamentals of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) -- and how to use these techniques in a school setting -- will help mitigate most behavior issues that currently lead to restraint. After training, we must ensure that the functional behavior assessment (FBA) and behavior plan are well written and incorporated into the IEP and classroom practices. It is often appropriate to use Board Certi¿ed Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) in the process of developing the FBA and behavior plan, especially in the area of de-escalation of behavioral issues. This would ideally prevent the problematic behaviors in the ¿rst place. 4) Create a better dispute resolution process Too many IEP disputes result in lawsuits and drawn-out confrontations. When a parent believes their child is not receiving the public education they are entitled to, in the least restrictive environment, there should be a better option than litigation. Dozens of parents reported spending thousands of dollars -- in at least one case, over $500,000 -- on legal expenses. We need to make a free and expedient third-party review and mediation process available. This would help facilitate resolution and result in less legal expense for school districts and families. These cases are usually the result of disputes involving noncompliance with the “least restrictive environment” requirements of IDEA. This lack of compliance is often directly connected to ineffective behavior plans and the lack of functional behavior assessments. Progress on the issues raised in this report has the potential of signi¿cantly improving this. 5) Support parents more with resources and options Families need to understand what their rights are and how the IEP process works. Many described being overwhelmed and confused and even feeling “run over” as they went through what is supposed to be a collaborative process to help their child. We also heard, on more than one occasion, about general education teachers reporting that they felt threatened to stay quiet during IEP

Lt. Governor continued

meetings. They were expected to simply support the position and plan of the regional or intermediate school district. No parent should ever feel bullied in this process, and no educator should ever feel they cannot speak up on behalf of the students they care so much about. A system should be established to ensure that parents receive the information they need to understand their rights and responsibilities related to an IEP. And teachers need to be protected from repercussions for speaking up about a child’s well-being, educational achievement, or individualized support within a school. Conclusion I pledge to continue working with the State Board of Education, Superintendent Whiston, educators, and parents across Michigan who all want the best for every child, whether they are receiving general education or special education. Helping all children become independent, welleducated, contributing members of society should be the goal for all of us involved in this discussion. And we need to stay focused on that goal as we work together to resolve conÀicts and ¿nd solutions to a growing but manageable education challenge in Michigan.

A poem of Hope & Life offered for upcoming Fowlerville Relay for Life Being a cancer survivor, I was inspired to write this poem of Hope and Light for the upcoming Fowlerville Relay for Life’s 10th anniversary on Sept. 19, 2015 at the Fowlerville Fairgrounds. I wanted to share the poem with others who have been touched by cancer in some way and, in doing so, give them hope.
