By Cheryl Poch And now for a little trivia taken from Chase’s Calendar of Events 2015..100 years ago (May 7) the RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat. More than 1,100 civilians on their way from New York to Liverpool were lost, including more than 100 Americans. This contributed to the U.S. entry into WWI in 1917. 6eYeQWy ÂżYe years ago, (1940) food rationing began in Great Britain. Pinocchio, Disney’s second animated Âżlm, was released and Best 3icture was Rebecca, starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine. Radios could be found in 30 million homes. (Wonder what that number would be today? Does anyone have a radio anymore or is everything on our ‘smart-phones’ these days?) Just saying!

Taking a Day Trip to Lansing ,I \RXU IDPLO\ LV DQ\WKLQJ OLNH PLQH LW FDQ EH KDUG WR ¿QG new things to do during these dog days of summer. The good news is that just a short drive away, Michigan’s capital city provides numerous, inexpensive, educational opportunities for families. There’s no better time than summer to visit Potter Park Zoo. Located near the heart of downtown Lansing, the zoo covers more than 20 acres and features 500 animals from 160 different species. There is no shortage of cool animals to see; the park features lions, tigers, leopards, foxes, rhinos, camels (which I am particularly fond of), panda, bald eagles, owls, and several different amphibians, just to name a few. Beyond the animals, the zoo also hosts special events and programs for children and adults. The park is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. To learn more, visit potterparkzoo.org. Similarly, Impression 5 museum has loads of educational opportunities for families. The museum has a science-based focus that lets kids explore through hands-on learning experiences, providing fun, practical applications for understanding what can sometimes be dif¿cult concepts. The museum hosts numerous programs and camps for kids to attend, as well as various exhibits to check out, and they even host birthday parties. If you would like to bring your family, the museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Visit impression5. org for more information. If history is of more interest, the Michigan Historical Museum, located blocks from the state Capitol building, is a great place to learn about our state’s place in the world. According to the museum, it offers a mix of both permanent and rotating historical exhibits that help tell the story of how Michigan came to be, from the so-called pre-contact era through to the 20th Century. Exhibits include interactive computer programs, audio-visual presentations, and handson experiences. It’s a great place to learn about our state, and you can visit Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. Visit Michigan.gov/museum for all the details. Perhaps Lansing’s most visually-attractive site, both inside and out, is our state Capitol. In addition to serving as our seat of government, it is also a museum of its own with ornate and intricate architecture and historical items as well. The best way to experience the Capitol is by taking part in a guided tour. The tour guides are professional and exceptionally knowledgeable about the history and function of the people’s building. No trip to Lansing would be complete without a visit to the Capitol. Guided tours are available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. but be sure to call ahead for a reservation. You can also go on a self-guided

Village ofÂżcials urged to take action on swimming pool at abandoned home By Steve Horton Fowlerville Village Council and its administrative staff were urged to take action on a swimming pool located at 318 North Street. The home, where the pool is located, is condemned and has been abandoned by its owner. Tom Breningstall, a neighbor, made a similar plea three years earlier. He brought a photo taken in 2012, showing the pool with weeds growing out of it and another one taken recently that shows the same situation. In 2012 he alleged that the pool was not being kept adequately cleaned as required by the Village ordinance. At last Monday’s meeting, during the Call to the Public, Breningstall passed around the two photos to trustees. In his remarks, he noted that “This pool is six-foot deep, with weeds growing out of the water, and the two gates are often open. This situation has been going on for at least three years.â€? Breningstall said that in his 2012 complaint he felt that the pool wasn’t being kept clean and also had concerns about how secure it was. “There’s been no improvement since then,â€? he said. “Now the house is abandoned. The pool is located a half-block from the Centennial Field (used by area children). Also, I counted 15 kids in our neighborhood who are under 12 years of age. I don’t understand why the Village is not being proactive and draining the pool and Âżlling it in.â€? In a comment to the 1eZs 9ieZs, Breningstall said that he had hesitated to bring his complaint before council, but added, “If a kid drowns in the pool and I didn’t try, I’d have a hard time living with myself.â€? Council, under its rules, does not generally respond to persons who make comments during a Call to the Public. Trustees also did not add the Breningstall’s complaint to its agenda, nor did any of the trustees speak on the matter during the portion of the agenda where council members can make comments or asked questions. Breingstall later brought copies of the Village ordinance to the 1eZs 9ieZsÂś ofÂżce that showed sections dealing with swimming pools, including the headings: ‘Inspections, sampling, suspension of use,’ ‘Nonconforming pools,’ and ‘Abandoned pools.’ These all addressed the issues he brought up in his remarks. Breningstall also provided sections of the Building Codes from 2009 Michigan Residential Code on barrier requirements for an outdoor swimming pool. This code, he

said, is used by the Livingston County Building Department. That agency, in turn, is used by the Village for dealing with these types of issues. Village Manager Kathryn Arledge, when asked about the matter after the meeting, said that at the advice of the Village attorney she could not discuss the matter since it is currently being brought through the court system and is still being investigated by the county building department and the county Dept. of Environmental Health. Police Chief Tom Couling, when asked about the complaint made in 2012, said that a Village Ordinance Violation Notice was issued to the homeowner to clean up the pool. He said that some progress was made at that time. Because work was being done and the homeowner was still living there, Couling said that the administration in charge at that time decided not to pursue any legal action. He said that if the gates to the pool are now open, the department will make sure they are secured.

Letter to the Editor:

I wanted to comment on a Letter to the Editor in last week’s edition regarding local business gas prices. I get my gas in Lansing when I shop there on weekends. It’s 40 to 50 cents higher per gallon in Fowlerville. I’m being forced to support out-county business because our local gas stations won’t give us a break. Melinda Frazier

lunch box. It was $ugust, and I was years old going into the third grade. At the time you had your standard “Star Warsâ€? lunch box, which was a safe selection. Everyone would think it was neat, but everyone had one. It just depended on what photos were on the box. You could take the “Knight Riderâ€? lunch box-- but this was the third grade, not Âżrst. Every new Âżrst grader was going to think they were hot stuff. You did not want to walk into school with a Âżrst-grade lunch box. A lunch box had to stand out, be cool, and make a statement. The next thing – you had to ensure the lunch box was durable. The last thing you wanted was your lunch box to be sat on by some high school senior riding home on the bus. A damaged lunch box could mean “brown bagging itâ€? possibly for the rest of the year. No one traded with the kid who carried a sack lunch. The milk would not stay cold in the thermos. The sandwich and snacks would always somehow be smashed. It was just no good. So there I stood in the TG&Y store surveying the new lunch boxes for the year. I had one thing going for me. My mom had let my oldest brother take me to the store to get school supplies. I surveyed the different lunch boxes, checking them out. Looking at the pictures on the lunch boxes, there were “GI Joeâ€?, “Transformersâ€?, “He-Manâ€?‌. all Âżne school lunch boxes, acceptable for the upcoming year. But‌then I saw it, the holy grail of lunch boxes. On the top shelf hidden behind some Cabbage Patch Kids was the lunch box that just might get you through the rest of grade school. Yes, I’m talking about the “KISSâ€? lunch box. No one would have it or even be allowed to have it. I pointed it out to my brother. “No problem buddy, ya sure? Man this one is pretty cool.â€? That cinched it. I was getting it. My brother, one of the high schoolers, had just called it pretty cool. This year was already looking up and it was only August.

Practical Money Matters

10 Ways to Become Financially Independent

By Nathaniel Sillin After the economic crisis, many people assumed they would never be able to reach true ¿nancial independence – the ability to live comfortably off one’s savings and investments with no debt whatsoever. However, individuals willing to use their time horizon to plan and adjust their spending, savings and investment behaviors might just ¿nd ¿nancial independence is possible. Here are ideas to get started. 1. 9isuali]e ¿rst, then plan. Start by considering what your vision of ¿nancial independence actually looks like – and then get a reality check. 4uali¿ed ¿nancial experts can examine your current ¿nancial circumstances, listen to what ¿nancial independence means to you and help you craft a plan. The path to ¿nancial independence may be considerably different at age than it is at age the more time you have to save and invest generally produces a better outcome. But at any age, start with a realistic picture of your options. 2. Budget. Budgeting (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting/ – the process of tracking income, subtracting expenses and deciding how to divert the difference to your goals each month – is the essential ¿rst task of personal ¿nance. If you haven’t learned to budget, you need to do so. 3. Spend less than you earn. It might be obvious, but it’s one of the most dif¿cult ¿nancial behaviors to execute. Adhering to a lower standard of living and expenses will help you put more money into savings and investments sooner. 4. Build smarter safety nets. Emergency funds and insurance are rarely discussed in combination. The traditional de¿nition of an emergency fund is a separate account for cash that can be used instead of credit to repair a broken appliance or other expense that may run a few hundred dollars. However, many people keep insurance deductibles high to keep premiums low. Would you have enough cash on hand to cover an insurance deductible if you had a sudden claim? If not, build your deductible amounts into your emergency fund. 5. Eliminate debt. Though consumer debt levels have generally fallen since the ¿nancial crisis, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported in February that home, student loan, auto and credit card debt began creeping up again in . Getting rid of revolving, non-housing debt (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/costofcredit is one of the most effective ways to free up money for savings and investment. 6. Consider your career. Financial independence doesn’t require you to quit a career you love, but you really can’t get to ¿nancial independence without steady income to fuel savings and investments that will build over time. Speak with

HANDY TOWNSHIP BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGULAR BOARD MEETING SYNOPSIS Tuesday, August 11, 2015 The regular meeting of the Handy Township Board of Trustees was called to order by Supervisor Alverson at 7:00 P.M. in the Handy Township Board Room. Trustees present: Tesch, Frazier, Munsell and Eisele. Absent: None. Also present: Att. Kehoe, Mike Kuzman-WHMI, Mike Boven-Infrastructure Alternatives, Paul Harmon-Harmon Real Estate and resident Sonny Newton. At the regular Handy Township Board meeting the following motions were made: To approve the agenda as presented. To approve regular meeting minutes of 7-1415 as presented. To pay the bills in the amount of $71,119.08. To authorize funds for repairs at water plant. To adopt Zoning Amendment Z-25-15, Barbed Wire. To accept donation of property to Handy Township. To authorize HRC to conduct investigation on Van Buren Road Sewer Project. To go into closed session to discuss purchase of property at 7:55 p.m. Open session resumed at 8:20 p.m. To adjourn meeting at 8:24 P.M. Laura A. Eisele Handy Township Clerk (8-16-15)

quali¿ed advisors about your income, bene¿ts and retirement picture ¿rst, and see if you might be able to expand your sources of work-related income, such as consulting part time. Also keep in mind that over the age of , the Internal Revenue Service allows you to make catch-up contributions (http://www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Plan-Participant,Employee/Retirement-Topics-IRA-Contribution-Limits to both (k and IRA accounts. 7. Downsize. You’ll generally reach wealth ¿nancial goals faster if you can cut your overall living expenses. For some, that means selling your home and moving to a smaller one or to an area with lower living costs and taxes. You can also sell or donate property you don’t need and use those proceeds to extinguish debt or add to savings or investments. 8. Invest frugally. Become a student (http://www.dol.gov/ ebsa/publications/undrstndgrtrmnt.html of investment fees and commissions because they can cut signi¿cantly into your principal. Make a full evaluation of fees you are paying on every investment account you have and if you’re working with a licensed professional who sells you ¿nancial products, know what fees they’re charging for their investment and advisory services. 9. Buy assets that generate income. Stocks, real estate, collectibles or cash investments all have up and down markets. But do your homework and focus on investments bought at attractive prices that are likely to appreciate over time. Also, don’t forget to study the tax rami¿cations of any investment transaction you make. 10. Always know where you are ¿nancially. Financial planning isn’t about making one set of ¿nancial decisions and

assuming you’re set. Lives and situations change and your ¿nancial planning must be Àexible enough to withstand both positive and negative changes without derailing your hopes for ¿nancial independence. If your forte is not investment, ¿nancial planning or tax matters, by all means bring in quali¿ed experts to help. But ¿nancially independent people generally have their money issues at their ¿ngertips not only for their own use, but for estate purposes as well. Bottom line: Financial independence involves diligence and a bit of sacri¿ce, but even the smallest moves can yield big outcomes. 1athaniel Sillin directs 9isa’s ¿nancial education programs.

Not only do they need these skills to sit still and listen to the teacher but these will also affect their social interactions with their peers and ability to make friends. s #OURAGE Many are so painfully shy that they have difďŹ culty leaving their mother let alone being taught by changing teachers. Some have a “fear of trying something newâ€?. Others have a “fear of failureâ€?. Fear and anxiety holds back so many kids today and it is getting worse! An indicator of this is when a child does something that becomes the least bit difďŹ cult or hard they want to quit (or worse yet, give up before even trying!) Any educator will tell you that “prior knowledgeâ€? is the number one indicator of a child’s success in elementary school. How do you make sure your child has the skills to succeed in school? They must have these vital skills in place well before kindergarten starts! So put them in situations, environments and programs that give them the opportunity to experience and learn these skills.

The secret to their success is pretty simple! Dear Fellow Parent While teaching 100’s of preschoolers over the years we have discovered one critical key to success for not only kindergarten but for the rest of their lives. I’m Sam Larioza, a Fowlerville resident and father of two awesome kids. Our karate school is not about kicking or ďŹ ghting. We are really here to team up with parents, teachers, schools and coaches to help raise happy and highly successful children! It’s all about developing the right skills, attitudes, habits and character traits. Here is the secret: Your child’s ďŹ rst day in kindergarten is HUGE! It will pretty much dictate how your child does for the rest of their academic career! If your child is ahead of her peer she will stay ahead and love school. Kids that start off behind their peers almost never catch up and like school less. Somtimes they not only fall behind but also get “labeledâ€? as unable to focus, hyperactive or extremely shy. We have wonderful teachers in our elementary schools but partially because of the overwhelming academic curriculum they do not have the time or resources to teach these basic skills to your child. Your child will be expected to have these skills before they get to kindergarten. The two skills needed are centered around Courage and Self Control s 3ELF #ONTROL For starters your child needs to know how to Listen, Follow Directions and Wait Their Turn. Many kids, even those in preschool, cannot do these three simple things!

Showcasing the Michigan DNR

Outdoor Adventure Center open for business – and fun – in Detroit

Almost 10 years since its initial vision and after more tKan Âżve years of constrXction tKe 'eSartment of 1atXral Resources’ Outdoor Adventure Center in downtown Detroit is open for visitors. Located in the historic Globe building, the Outdoor Adventure Center (OAC) is a combination education and recreation facility, built with a goal of bringing “up northâ€? to downtown. But the facility also highlights how important Detroit is to Michigan and its natural resources. The OAC comes on the heels of the DNR managing other state parks in Detroit in recent years, including William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor and Belle Isle Park. These parks demonstrate the DNR’s commitment to conservation and outdoor recreation in an urban environment. The OAC offers plenty of exhibits and displays that show Michigan’s natural resources are not limited to the northern parts of the state and how Detroit has Âą and still does Âą Âżt into the picture. Immediately upon entering the facility, a display commemorates Detroit as a historic ship-building center and a hub of the pre-settlement fur trade. Educational displays on everything from recycling to making home appliances more energy-efÂżcient illustrate the signiÂżcance of conservation to all Michiganders. Still, it is the outdoor recreation and natural resources of the state that serve as the drawing card. The OAC features a wide range of hands-on activities for folks of all ages. Visitors can touch the fur of a variety of Michigan mammals – from beavers to skunks (eww). They can learn the differences among Michigan’s frogs and toads and hear their calls by pressing on display models. They can gain understanding of various Michigan habitats – wetlands, pine forests or aspen stands, among them – through dioramas and accompanying texts. Or visitors can go for the fun. )olks can sit in a Âżshing boat and try their hand at catching largemouth or smallmouth bass, salmon or lake trout at a Âżshing simulator. They can climb on a snowmobile or offroad vehicle and experience the thrill of blasting along a trail through the woods with accompanying video. They can try

wing-shooting or big-game hunting at an arcade-like shooting simulator. They can try paddling a kayak or enjoying an exhilarating mountain bike ride at those simulators. There’s a four-target archery range, sponsored by Safari Club International, which will be available for classes and by appointment only, until enough staffers have been certiÂżed to teach archery. “We hope to have drop-in archery by November,â€? said OAC Director Linda Walter. “We want the OAC to be a cornerstone of the riverfront and be a place where people, young and old, can experience ‘up north, downtown.’ Our team will ensure that the center is an exciting experience for all.â€? But the OAC isn’t only about fun. “It’s both educational and recreational,â€? said Jon Spieles, Âżeld manager for educational services at the DNR, who was heavily involved in the OAC’s design. “And it’s an additional activity on the Detroit waterfront that’s safe, fun and outdoor recreation- and conservation-related. It Âżts right in with Belle Isle and Milliken State Park.â€? The OAC features a 3,000-gallon aquarium, stocked with native Âżsh species, and a 3 -foot artiÂżcial waterfall. There’s a life-size beaver lodge, a 40-foot tall, man-made, interactive tree, and a mockup of an eagle’s nest where visitors can stand, take selÂżes with the push of a button, and then email them directly to themselves or others. There are displays on birds and butterĂ€ies and an airplane, suspended from the ceiling, like those the DNR uses to conduct aerial surveys of animals or surveillance for wildÂżres and in which visitors can have a seat. “We can use the OAC to create messages about conservation issues, such as invasive species, which is the No. 1 threat to natural resources in North America,â€? Spieles said. “And I hope when people walk out of here, they’ll have learned why they can trust the Department of Natural Resources to provide world-class outdoor recreation facilities and manage the Âżsheries, forests and wildlife that make this a great state to live in and visit.â€? A recent grand-opening event included Gov. Rick Snyder, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and a host of local community activists, dignitaries and even a television star – HGTV’s “Rehab Addictâ€? Nicole Curtis. Ron Olson, chief of the DNR Parks and Recreation Division, said in his opening remarks that he thought the OAC would serve as a “gateway to the outdoorsâ€? for many urbanites, and provide a variety of hands-on experiences. Gov. Snyder said, “The OAC continues Detroit’s momentum by bringing another natural resource-based experience to the riverfront. The refurbished historic building is a strong symbol of the city’s ongoing revitalization. “The center is an interactive place for children from across southeast Michigan and across the state to learn about the world-class natural resources and activities our state has to offer, while encouraging the next generation to become responsible environmental stewards.â€? Located at 1801 Atwater St., just east of the Renaissance Center, the more-than-a-century-old Globe Building was the site of the former Globe Trading Company. The OAC will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays to Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. More information on hours and admission fees is available here. The OAC will be used to hold classes on various outdoor recreation activities for youth groups and others, Walter said, and will be available for birthday parties and business meetings. It has already hosted a wedding and several additional couples have booked it for upcoming nuptial ceremonies. “There are a lot of ways to enjoy it,â€? Walter said.

By Chelsey Lorenz Danielle Desiree Baisch has attended Webberville Schools since her junior year of high school. Baisch is the daughter of Richard and Grace Baisch; she also has a twin sister, -ade. Baisch has inÀuenced the halls of Webberville with her spunky attitude and colorful personality. “Dani’s friendship means a lot to me. I’ll miss her honesty, her sense of humor, and her ability to help others.” said junior and close friend Joe Cecelon. “She’s wonderful; she just always makes me smile. Every time we talk, she’s in a good mood.” Although Baisch has only been with Webberville for a short time, she has greatly impacted those around her. “Danielle is a very compassionate and caring student. She’s a good advocate for herself. She’s always in such a good mood.” said high school teacher, Ms. Kelsey Miller. From participating in Culinary Arts and Hospitality at Career Center, led by Chef Corbett Day, to volunteering at a funeral home, Baisch always has something productive up her sleeve. Although this was Baisch’s ¿rst year at the Capital Area Career Center, her instructor, Chef Day, shed some light on what kind of student Baisch was. “Dani is an open book. She was always unafraid to say what was on her mind and share what she liked and knew. She’s a bright shining light that always shared her artistic ability with everyone in class,” said Day. “My advice? Keep following your dreams and going for what you want.” Now that she has graduated, Baisch is looking at working in different things. “I plan to do some modeling and working with poetry when high school is over. I also plan to work more and more on my art.” Baisch would like to offer a little bit of advice to the underclassmen, “No matter what-- follow your heart. Your heart will never steer you wrong.”

Why Run for OfÂżce"

Column by Lee H. Hamilton I spend a fair amount of time talking to students and other young people about Congress and politics in general, and I’ve noticed something. It used to be that I’d regularly get asked how one runs for ofÂżce. Nowadays, I rarely do. This is a young generation that is famously leery of politics. Every year, the Harvard Institute of Politics surveys young Americans about their attitudes. In their most recent survey, only 21 percent of respondents considered themselves politically engaged. Last year, only a third counted running for ofÂżce “an honorable thing to doâ€? ² compared to 70 percent who considered community service honorable. A lot of young people are repelled by politics; they’ve lost faith in the system just as many other Americans have. And I fully understand that elected ofÂżce is not for everybody. You can make wonderful contributions to our communities and to our society as a whole without holding ofÂżce. But look. If you don’t have people who are willing to run for ofÂżce, you don’t have a representative democracy. As the leading edge of the Millennial generation reaches the age where running for ofÂżce is a realistic possibility, I hope they’ll consider a few things. First, it’s hard to Âżnd a more challenging job. The number, complexity, and diversity of the problems we face are astounding. As a politician, your work is never done; your to-do list is always full. It’s intellectually as challenging an occupation as anything I can imagine. It’s the chief way we resolve, or at least manage, the problems we face. In a country as diverse as ours, building a consensus behind a solution ² which is what accomplished politicians try to do ² is difÂżcult work. It can also be immensely satisfying. The long and short of it is this: I’ve encountered plenty of accomplished people in other professions who told me that in the end, they’re a bit bored. I can’t ever recall hearing a politician say that he or she was bored. Second, I don’t know of another profession that puts you in touch with more people of more different types, ages, and views. You meet ² and, if you’re serious, really engage with ² liberals and conservatives, voters rich and poor, religious believers and secular humanists alike. It’s often said that if you don’t like people, you should stay out of politics. This is true: politics isn’t for everyone: You have to enjoy all kinds of people and learn to get along with all kinds. Inevitably, you’ll encounter people who idolize you, others who demonize you, supporters who praise you, and critics who are more than happy to tell anyone who’ll listen that you should just drop dead. Odd as this sounds, this is one of the great attractions of the job: the splendid array of individuals and convictions that you encounter in politics. Finally, and perhaps most important, the work can be immensely satisfying. Whatever level you’re running at, whether it’s for the school board or for President, you’re doing it to try to make things work. My Âżrst year in Congress, in 1965, I voted for Medicare. I’d had no role in drafting it. I played no substantive part in its passage. Yet I still remember that vote, and I still derive deep satisfaction from it. Because I know that I

voted for legislation that has helped millions of people, and will continue to do so into the future. That’s the thing about holding public ofÂżce: you have a chance to contribute to the direction and success of a free society. In the scheme of things, this chance isn’t given to all that many people. I know a lot of people who’ve worked mainly in private sector but spent some time in public ofÂżce, and they almost invariably speak of their time in the public sector as among the most rewarding and satisfying times of their professional lives. That’s because I think they understand a simple formula: there’s no America without democracy, no democracy without politics, and no politics without elected politicians. There are a lot of exciting, challenging and satisfying professions out there, but here’s what I tell young people: I consider politics chief among them.

ool Nat Fowlerville High Sch

The Fowlerville National Honor Society is an elite group of high school individuals that excel in leadership, service, scholarship, and character. These students not only juggle a full schedule, most of advance classes, they also complete community service projects on their own time. Some are completed within the group, and others are individual projects. The following seniors did outstanding projects during their recently-completed senior year that impacted the school and community. Mitch Frederick and Tyler Burkhardt, with the help of Emily Harper, organized and held the 5k DeCamp Stampede in honor of a former teacher who was hurt in an auto accident and now is blind. The group of students collected donations from the public, organized runners, and held the event on the high school’s campus. Money raised was donated to the Family Impact Center.
