Four members of Northern Neighbors 4-H Club showing at Fowlerville Fair By Steve Horton These four young ladies—Keelan Horton, Talynn Johnson, Shelby Hinton, and Jessica Holiday—are members of the Northern Neighbors 4-H Club. They are among the over 600 Livingston County 4-Hers who are bringing their exhibits to this week’s Fowlerville Family Fair. The six-day event starts on Monday, July 27, and continues through Saturday. A main activity for the 4-Hers will be the judging of their livestock and non-livestock exhibits, but a number of special events and activities also take place during the week. These include the auction for still exhibits (non-livestock projects) on Wednesday, large animals on Friday and the auction for small animals on Saturday. An outbreak of avian Àu earlier this year prompted a cancellation of poultry shows in Michigan, including 4-H competitions. For this reason, the small-animal barn won’t be as crowded due to the absence of chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese or any other birds. In addition, the Miracle of Life exhibit has been canceled by order of the Michigan Dept. of Agriculture and Rural Development. Youth who had entered poultry or waterfowl will still have events take place, testing their knowledge and expertise. Also, their birds are being weighed and slaughtered prior to Saturday’s Small Livestock Auction. Bidders will still

purchase those birds, based on their weight, and pay for the processing fee just as they have at previous fairs auctions. In addition of being members of the same 4-H Club,

4-H members showing at Fowlerville Fair, continued Keelan, Talynn, Shelby and Jessica are recent graduates of Fowlerville High School. All four of them plan to attend college this fall. They have each brought non-livestock projects to this year’s fair. Three of them will also be exhibiting their livestock entries during the coming week. Keelan Horton is the veteran of the group, having started as a 4-H Cloverbud at age 5. ÂłThe Âżrst few years I entered repurposed household items, mainly furniture,â€? she said. ÂłThe Âżrst couple of years I showed my sheep, my dog, and my cat. One year I also showed my pony.â€? Since high school, Keelan has continued entering interesting non-livestock projects. This year she has a bird feeder that includes a gas funnel for a top and an old wrench for a perch. But the feeder also resembles the face of a tin man. “I needed to weld the pieces together,â€? she pointed out. She’s also focused on sheep and pigs these past four years, although her freshman year she brought some chickens. “This fair I have a Yorkshire pig and a Suffolk sheep,â€? Keelan said. Her mother, Londa Horton, is a club leader. Her father is Chuck Black. She was very active in high school, competing in volleyball, basketball, and soccer all four years. That dedication earned her the Iron Woman Award at this spring’s Fowlerville High School Athletic Awards Program. She was also a member of the high school band. “I play the bassoon and alto sax,â€? she noted. On top of all that, she belonged to the National Honor Society. At the Fowlerville High School Senior Honors Night, Keelan won the George & Illah Mae Damman Scholarship and the Mason Z. Wilkinson Memorial Scholarship. She attends the First United Methodist Church of Fowlerville. This fall she’ll start classes at Oakland University, majoring in bio-engineering. “My career goal is to work in green energy science,â€? she said. As for 4-H, Keelan said, “I have enjoyed making new friends over the years. I also enjoyed raising my sheep. Over the years my ewe had 17 lambs, including two sets of quadruplets.â€? Talynn Johnson joined 4-H in the fourth grade, at age nine. “The Âżrst time I came to the fair I brought drawings,â€? she said. “About six years ago I started bringing my sheep and

By Cheryl Poch Today, Sunday, July 26 is AUNTIES DAY! That’s right. This day thanks, honors and celebrates the aunt in a child’s life, whether she is an Auntie by Relation,(ABR), Auntie by Choice (ABC) or godmother, for everything she does for a child not-her own. The day is especially poignant for 23 million American women who identify as PANKs, or Professional Aunts No Kids! Here are some other events happening around the globe: Monday July 27 is “National Korean Veterans Armistice” Day. A special remembrance of the veterans of the Korean War, and especially those of the US and allied combatants who made the ultimate sacri¿ce in Korea. Here is an odd celebration – “Take Your Houseplants for a Walk” Day. “Walking your plants around the neighborhood enables them to become familiar with their environment, thereby providing them with a sense of knowing, bringing on wellness!” That is also July 27th. I am thinking my niece and nephew could take their Aunt for a walk, but I am afraid they might drop me off and leave me somewhere alone with all my houseplants! Monday is also “Walk on Stilts” Day. A day to walk on stilts, providing a chance to develop self-con¿dence through mastery of balance no matter your age. I am currently working on walking with a cane and keeping my balance – how does that work? Thursday is “National Chili Dog” Day. Oh Yum! For sure, I am going to order a chili dog and celebrate that event. Friday we will have a full moon beginning at 6:43 am, EDT. So get out and partake in an event or two. I will be taking advantage of “National Chili Dog” Day and “Auntie” Day! Come to the library and check out all our NEW books! One more item of importance – the library is collecting canned goods for the Family Impact Center. We need to ¿ll up our library basket with canned goods so the Impact Center can stock up their shelves as they are such an asset to our community in helping those in need. Till next week: “Be Friendly!”

Baseball cards--I would study them, trade them, learn the stats, and argue with friends over who were the better players. Home runs, RBIs, hits, and strikeouts were what my friends and I cared about growing up. Oh yea, and of course keeping them pristine because we were all going to sell them at some later date for a fortune. Did you know that back at the turn of the 19th century you could get baseball cards in cigarette tins? At least that’s what my grandfather told me. He would ¿nd empty tins lying around and check them for cards. He used to collect them too, but his mother threw them away one day. I guess moms, no matter what generation, don’t like things being left out on the table during dinner time. Something else I love is when people ask, “Let’s see some numbers.” Rick from Howell writes, “You talk about seatbelts a lot. Do you have any numbers or stats on your current traf¿c initiatives? I would like to know the results, if any.” Well Rick, you couldn’t have asked at a better time. I do indeed have some numbers to throw at you. Currently, Michigan’s seat belt use remains at 93 percent which is 10th highest in the nation according to a recent direct observation statewide survey conducted by Wayne State University Transportation Research Group. Michigan’s of¿cial seat belt use rate for 201 will be determined after a second survey is completed this fall. The purpose of the current statewide Click it or Ticket enforcement and ongoing Michigan Summer of Safety Campaign is to reduce traf¿c fatalities and injuries on Michigan roads by increasing seatbelt use. In 2009 Michigan had a record-high 98 percent compliance rate for seatbelt use which has obviously declined over the last several years. Here’s the kicker, for every 1 percent increase in seatbelt use, it means 10 fewer traf¿c deaths and 130 fewer injuries. According to preliminary reports, there were eight traf¿c deaths during the 201 Memorial Day holiday period this is potentially the lowest number of traf¿c fatalities in more than 40 years. Twenty people were killed in traf¿c crashes during the 2014 Memorial Day holiday. It appears people are starting to utilize their seatbelts more. Law enforcement of¿cers from police departments, sheriff’s of¿ces and the Michigan State Police across the state conducted more than 12,700 traf¿c stops resulting in 6,113 seatbelt and child restraint citations during the Click it or Ticket enforcement campaign this May. Remember, the purpose of this enhanced enforcement is to save lives the only goal is to make sure people reach their destination safely. This to me is as simple as the numbers gets, wearing a seatbelt truly saves lives. 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 Senate Report By Joe Hune, 22nd District

Family fun at the Fowlerville Fair With summer in full swing, one of our district’s most popular events is right around the corner. I would like to draw everyone’s attention to the 201 Fowlerville Fair running from July 27 through August 1. The Fowlerville Fair has welcomed the public since the creation of the nonproÂżt Fowlerville Agricultural Society in 1886. Crowd-pleasing events include Ladies Day, harness horse racing, 4-H livestock auction, the Homemaker of the Year Award, Armed Forces Day and the crowning of the 201 Fowlerville Family Fair Queen. The fair is one of my favorite events of the year. I’m most fond of the 4-H livestock auction, which I have taken part in since I was a youngster. Your bids on these prized livestock will help support the kids of the 4-H in their quest to put their slogan “learn by doingâ€? into action. Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to live in 19th century Livingston County? This year the fair invites you to visit the “historical villageâ€? consisting of historical buildings from the local area located in the back of the fairgrounds. The buildings will be available for viewing in the afternoons during the fair with representatives from the society that can give information on donating to the restoration and becoming involved in the effort. The public is welcome to the fair and admission for adults is 6, for seniors, 3 for children ages 6-12 and FREE for those and under. Additionally, grandstand tickets are 10 per person, and children 4 years old and younger can sit in the stands for free. If you are thinking about attending multiple events, presale armbands can be purchased until noon on Monday, July 27. Single day armbands can be purchased for $17 or Mega Bands can be purchased for $70 and are good for the whole week. More info on the fair can be found at www. FowlervilleFamilyFair.com.

By Pastor Tom Tarpley My tour in Germany was a fun, and it went by quickly. Because of my special duty assignment, I didn’t have to go into the ¿eld or play soldier. I was of¿cially attached to an artillery division, but I never saw any duty with my company until a few months before I was scheduled to return home. My day job was to sit in the commissary and check ID cards. I spent the evenings at the enlisted men’s club drinking. My good thing suddenly came to an end when our battalion received orders to pull up stakes and move north to a new location about 150 miles away. I thought I had escaped moving with them because I stayed out of sight until they had packed up the whole division and moved out. Two days after they left, my commanding of¿cer called the 8nit 3olice headquarters and told the sergeant they had forgotten the Colonel’s staff sedan in the motor pool. He told the sergeant to put me in it with all my belongings and head me north. Thus went my smooth ride. When I arrived in Nu Ohm, which was where the company had moved, I was assigned the job of being an eight-inch howitzer driver. I had never even been in the cock pit, let alone driven one; however, that didn’t seem to matter to my sergeant. He simply told one of the other drivers to show me my gun and teach me what I needed to know. The ne[t 0 days was pure hell. We moved out to the ¿elds and had to sleep in foxholes and tents. It was cold. I was not used to these rough conditions. Nor did I know anything about what was going on. I ¿nally conned my way into changing jobs with an $rmy 3ersonnel Carrier $3C driver and this helped me to escape from all the noise of the big gun going off and handling the 200-pound projectiles which had to be loaded by hand. My new job consisted sitting in my $3C on perimeter guard. I had my liquor and all I could eat. (ach $3C was stocked with a supply of emergency food call C-rations. These cases were tightly wired and it took a wire cutter to open them. 6till, I found a way around that. I took my ¿eld can opener and, where the wire was connected, I’d carefully unravel it and slide the wire off the box. I would then open the box and eat what I wanted, replace the wire, put the box back in place and no one was the wiser. I even passed inspection one day

when a colonel showed up unexpectedly by helicopter and wanted to inspect the troops and ¿eld artillery. Over the next few weeks I managed to empty nine cases of C-rations. When I left the unit to return home, as far as I know, nobody knew the difference. Being out in the ¿eld was also good for my business of loaning money. It proved a good thing that the whole battalion had moved to this new location, because now the guys who owed me money were all there. Some of them would borrow money to go into the nearby towns, and they didn’t mind paying 100 percent interest. I would usually hold back my money until all the other sharks were out of money, then I could name my own terms. Sometimes I would loan out as much as two-to-three thousand dollars a week before payday and collect double a week later. I didn’t have a problem collecting like some of the guys did because I hired a couple of bruisers as collection agents. On payday I would be the ¿rst in line, ahead of the other collectors, so when one of my creditors came out of the payroll of¿ce I was the ¿rst person he saw. 5eluctantly, each of them would pay me off. Then I would loan it back to them at the same interest rate. Most of the time I only collected the interest on these debts. Very few ever paid of the principal. One day, while having lunch, I was sitting next to a friend who worked in headquarters battery. He had driven out to where we were on some of¿cial business. I told him how anxious I was to get out of there, and asked if he could help me. He said he could for a price. I slipped him $200 and two days later, after he got back to battalion, I received orders that I was to be in Munich a week later for deployment back to the states. I found a couple of sharks and sold my collection notebook to them. I also noti¿ed all of my clients that I was leaving and had transferred their debts to the new owners. After clearing up a few loose ends and selling everything I couldn’t take with me, I boarded a train for Munich where I spent the next two weeks drinking and partying. I arrived back in the states at Fort Dix, New Jersey around the middle of September and was of¿cially separated from the Army a day after arrival. The ¿rst change I noticed was the price of cigarettes and the price of liquor. What I had been used to paying for a quart, I paid for shot. Meanwhile, cigarettes, instead of being ¿fteen cents, were almost ¿fty cents. I got home about two weeks later after spending time in New York. It was on a Friday night. After spending a couple of hours with my family, I proceeded to look up my friends. It was as though two years had not passed. Everything was exactly like it was before I left. The same old people, doing the same old thing. On Monday, my brother asked if I would like to ride with him out to GMC. He wanted to put in an application for a job. I had nothing better to do so I went with him. I decided to put in an application because I planned to go to work in about a month. Guess what? They turned him down and told me to come back that night at 3pm for the second shift. So two days after getting home I had a job, which I didn’t really want. I had not had enough time to enjoy being home. I worked the afternoon shift for 90 days and on the 91st day I went on sick leave. With the help of a crooked doctor who eventually lost his license for malpractice, I stayed on sick leave for the next three years. One thing I need to include in this chronology. After returning from the military I picked up a new habit. I started smoking marijuana and popping pills like candy. Add that to the drinking and you have a walking zombie. This lifestyle was to go on for the next 23 years. I will share more about this next week. Next Week: The Madness Continues

Michigan House Report By Dr. Hank Vaupel 47nd District

There is much work to be done this summer in researching and reviewing the many issues we have to address here in Michigan. I’ve taken the opportunity to speak directly with residents and attend many events in the district. I’m pleased to represent each and every person in our community and I enjoy the opportunity to speak with you one-on-one. If I have yet to meet you, I hope you’ll attend my of¿ce hours on Aug 3. Details can be found on my website at www. 5epHankVaupel.com. As I attend different functions in the district, I’m so impressed by the community involvement that I see here. Across the district I see residents volunteering at fairs, festivals, non-pro¿ts and chambers. I’m so happy to see people getting involved to make our community the best it can be. This week I attended the groundbreaking for the 3rovidence Medical Center. The facility has been designed to respond to current needs in the community. I am grateful to see such a notable health care facility locating in our community and I look forward to seeing many jobs created by this new facility. I’ve also recently had the pleasure of attending several local government meetings and presentations, including a presentation from the Michigan 3ropane Gas Association with area ¿rst responders and ¿re¿ghters. I’m thankful for the selÀess work that these individuals do and appreciate that they take the time to educate the community about propane safety. One of my most favorite Livingston County summer activities is visiting the many farmer’s markets in our community. I stop by them as often as I can to meet local growers and purchase fresh produce. I encourage you to visit one nearest you to enjoy some locally grown products. You can ¿nd your local farmer’s market at www.mifma.org.

If you have any questions or concerns about state-level issues, please contact my ofÂżce. It is always good to hear from constituents! 7he ofÂżce can be reached by phone at 866828-4863 or by email at HankVaupel@house.mi.gov. Hope to hear from you soon.

4-H’er sees ‘fruit of her labor’ pay off with AED devices now at fairgrounds By Steve Horton A Fowlerville 4-H’er has seen the ‘fruit of her fundraiser labor’ pay off with the reFent arrival of three AE' deviFes at the fairgrounds. These Automated E[ternal 'eÂżbrillators are available for use in a person is suffering from FardiaF arrest. 0F.en]y Rehfus, who will be a senior at Fowlerville High SFhool this fall, was able to raise enough money to Fover the 3,290 Fost. The deviFes were purFhased by the fair board through the Fowlerville Area Fire 'epartment. 0F.en]y said that she’d initially planned to raise a Fouple hundred dollars for the fair as her National Honor SoFiety proMeFt. /earning that there were not any permanent AE' deviFes loFated on the grounds, she e[panded her goal. Âł, heard about a man who died at the fair raFes from a heart attaFN and how, if there’d been an AE' deviFe nearby, he might have survived,´ she said in an interview last 'eFember, shortly after she had started her effort. ÂłThere are around 40,000 people who attend the fair eaFh year, so , deFided to foFus my effort on that need.´ After talNing with -ennifer Rhodes, the fair manager, and then the fair board--- and getting their enFouragement--she proFeeded with her plans. 0F.en]y started off by selling baNed goods at the Fowlerville Christmas in the 9ille Felebration last 'eFember, with her fellow Kountry Kids 4-H Club members helping her out by baking different treats. From that sale, she generated 200. 3ubliFity about her effort brought donations from several people, inFluding 1,000 from George Watts of Howell who made the gift in memory of his daughter. %y the start of the year the aFFount had grown to 1,500. Giving an update last week, 0FKen]y said that she reFeived donations from the /ivingston County 4-H CounFil, the /arge Animal AuFtion Committee, the Small Animal AuFtion Committee, the Horse CounFil, the Howell Farmers Club, and various individuals. She also sold baked goods at the 4th of -uly Committee’s Chili Cook-off in 0arFh. ÂłAfter the Cook-off ,’d raised enough money to buy the AE' deviFes,´ she said. This past Tuesday she Moined others as %ob Feig, Assistant Chief of the Fowlerville Fire 'epartment, gave a hands-on demonstration at the 4-H %uilding on how to use the deviFe. The department’s manikin was used in these praFtiFe lessons. The group inFluded Rhodes, several fair board members, and some 4-H leaders and ofÂżFials. Rhodes said that one of the deviFes will be loFated in the fair ofÂżFe, another in the 4-H %uilding, while the third will be in a golf Fart, available when a fair ofÂżFial is driving around the grounds during fair week or is summoned to an emergenFy.

By Jessica Haite Leslie Shull came to Webberville her freshman year. “I was shy at Âżrst but everyone was so nice that it was easy to maNe new frienGs ´ Shull saiG. Shull is the daughter of Gen Goodwin and Shawn Shull and the sister of Margaret Shull-Parsons and Garrett Goodwin. Shull was a part of Webberville FFA since her freshman year. She was active in the SNills &ontest and &ommunity Garden. 'ue to the hard worN and sNills gained from worNing on her familyÂśs race horse farm she also received a Gold State FFA (Tuine Science ProÂżciency Award. “Leslie’s commitment to the equine industry has earned her statewide acclaim in a highly competitive Âżeld ´ said FFA Advisor &olleen Scott .eiser. “I am very impressed with her compassion and her commitment she maNes every day.´ One thing Shull learned in school that will help her later in life is public speaNing. 7here are a lot of speeches that she wouldn’t have presented if it were not for &ommunications class but she is glad that she did. After high school Shull has not completely decided on what she wants to do yet but she’d liNe to be a natural horsemanship trainer or an equine aroma-therapist. “What I will miss the most about high school are the small things that go unnoticed liNe the opportunity to see my friends every day the surrounding people who are there to help and the memories made ´ Shull said. “On the last day I didn’t say anything out-of-the-ordinary to my friends other than Âľcongratulations’ because I Nnow that we will still be friends and nobody will be going too far away.´ “What I will miss most about my teachers and classmates is how we all seem to be one big group of people that worNed hard to help the school and community ´ Shull added. 7hat spirit doesn’t go unnoticed by her teachers either. “Leslie is the Nind of student that you will always see helping a student when they need help ´ noted &onsumer Math 7eacher &hristina +asNell. Shull has this advice for underclassmen. “AsN plenty of questions and always question everything. It is the best way to learn if you asN me.´

Some eggs did survive unharmed and at least one of those went home to hit the frying pan. Older Nids built catapults and parachutes plus tested their aim with ping pong balls.

2014 Water Quality Report for the Village of Webberville This report covers the drinking water quality for the Village of Webberville, for the calendar year 2014. This information is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided to you in 2014. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. Your water comes from the Basal Member of the Saginaw Formation via three groundwater wells located at 425 S. Maple St. and 180 Pine St. ‡ Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

‡ Action Level The concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers treatment, or other requirements that a water system must follow. ‡ Maximum 5esidual Disinfectant Level (MD5L) Means the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. ‡ Maximum 5esidual Disinfectant Level Goal (MD5LG) Means the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MD5LGs do not reÀect the bene¿ts of the use of disinfectants to microbial contaminants. ‡ TTHM (Total Trihalomethanes) A byproduct of Chlorine disinfectant. ‡ HAA5 (Haloacetic Acids) A byproduct of Chlorine disinfectant.

‡ 9XOQHUDELOLW\ RI VXE SRSXODWLRQV Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). ‡ Sources of drinking water The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. ‡ Contaminants that may be present in source water include 0LFURELDO FRQWDPLQDQWV such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. - Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. 3HVWLFLGHV DQG KHUELFLGHV, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses. - Radioactive contaminants, which are naturally occurring or can be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. - Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which provide the same protection for public health. :DWHU 4XDOLW\ 'DWD The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2014 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 – December 31, 2014. The State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary signi¿cantly from year to year.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Webberville, Village Of is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours you can minimi]e the potential for lead exposure by Àushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http //www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. *Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. Monitoring helps EPA to determine where certain contaminants occur and whether it needs to regulate those contaminants. **There is no MCLG. *** While your drinking water meets the standard for arsenic it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA’s standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the costs of removing the arsenic from the drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

Memories of 4-H & the Fair Column by Steve Horton I turned 10 years old in July of 1961 which meant I could join 4-H. I recall going over to the home of Lyle and Eunice 9ogt later that year for my ¿rst meeting. Lyle was a leader of this club, composed of kids from farm families residing in Conway Township. That winter my father brought home a Holstein calf that he’d purchased for $100—a princely sum in those days— from our neighbors, Cleo and Marguerite Donal. We had Holsteins on our farm, my grandparents had Holsteins on their farm, but none of them were registered. This calf possessed that distinction. While you could show grade cattle, like ours, at the Fowlerville Fair, competing with a registered animal improved your chances and also gave you additional classes that you could participate in during fair week. Since my 4-H dairy calf was born before January 1, it was classi¿ed as a senior heifer. A calf born after that date but prior to the fair) was considered a junior heifer. Registered cattle have long names, incorporating the names of the dam and sire and other ancestors, sort of like the European nobility. My calf’s moniker included the word Queen, so I nicknamed her Queenie. Now there was initial excitement in having this calf, but I soon learned that a good deal of work went into preparing an untrained animal for the fair. I found Queenie to be a dif¿cult challenge. My efforts that spring and early summer were fraught with frustration. She had gained some size during the winter, and I vividly recall her dragging me across the yard. I would hang onto the halter strap as she took off at a brisk gallop, quickly losing my balance and sliding along the grass and then the graveled driveway on my belly. I did not wish to let go, since chasing after her I had discovered) was a time-consuming endeavor. Needless to say, I did not pursue an ambitious training schedule since being dragged across the grass and gravel did not top my list of enjoyments. Eventually though the two of us reached an understanding. I’d walk slowly backwards, and Queenie would walk slowly forward. When I stopped, she’d stop. After that progress was made, we worked on the idea that I might want her back legs positioned one way when we stopped and then I’d re-position them a minute or so later. At the same time, I had to make sure the front legs were evenly aligned. I also worked on keeping the calf’s head up high and her back straight. Above all else, I needed to keep my calf from being ¿dgety. It was a tall order, but I did not question the necessity of any of these requirements; it was what was expected if one wished to show a heifer at the fair. That expectation still exists. When you think about the matter, it is amazing the hoops that adults make kids jump through. In addition to having to train an animal that, by instinct, is wild and unruly, the kid has to worry about where a judge is standing when the animal is set up. And, just as the positioning is perfect and the animal is behaving, the judge decides to take a stroll, forcing the kid to push or pull his cow and undo all of that good work. It’s called showmanship and highly valued in 4-H circles. While I had been busy teaching Queenie how to behave, I had neglected to clean and brush her on a regular basis. The weekend before the fair, my procrastination came back to haunt me. The calf was ¿lthy, and had yellow stains on both knees which started out as white) and another one on the back leg. Of course I was not the ¿rst 4-H kid, nor would I be the last, faced with an unsightly animal just prior to the start of judging. Which is why 4-H mothers are held in such high esteem. Along with warning you about your underwear when you go out in public, a mother does not wish for her son or daughter to show up at fair with a dirty beast. So my mom came to the rescue, helping with the shampooing and scrubbing, followed by the brushing and combing as I struggled to ¿nish ahead of the deadline. Cattle, like other livestock, also require trimmed hooves. However, there’s a risk in cutting too much off the tips of the

toes and having the cow limp around on sore feet, something you didn’t want happening in the show ring. Duane Westmoreland, who worked at Rainbow Farms and had been showing cattle for years, came over with his clippers and helped us out; he did so that year and in all of the ensuing ones while I was in 4-H. 7KH )RZOHUYLOOH )DLU LQ WKH HDUO\ V GLG QRW RI¿FLDOO\ start until Tuesday. However, the Black and White Show an event held for exhibiters with purebred Holsteins) took place on Monday. The various classes for participants about half of which were 4-H’ers) were categorized by the age of the cow. In addition, a special showmanship class was offered to anyone under 21 years of age. So in 1962, at the age of 11, I got my ¿rst taste of being in the show ring by competing in the Senior Calf Class and the Junior Showmanship Class. When I launched my 4-H career, there were still a lot of small dairy farms in Livingston County. Most of those places had Holstein cattle, so the Black and White Show and the 4-H competitions for this breed were crowded events. Continued Page 22

An exhibiter was expected to wear a white shirt, white pants, and a black tie. That week, just before the judging started for that day, Paul Grill (a friend and fellow 4-H’er) and I would walk over to the bathroom. There we’d change into our show outÂżts. 2f course there were other occasions when he or I stopped by. A sign at the entrance requested that those of us using the facility “remember to tip the porter.â€? He was the gentleman who kept the place clean. Paul and I were not Ă€ush with money, so our tips tended to be sporadic. I always nodded to the man as we left, feeling guilty when I didn’t drop a coin into the cigar box. What little money we did possess was intended for the carnival. 2ne of the perks of being in 4-H was that you could sneak up to the midway for a ride or to play a game of chance, then rush back to the barn before your parents, club leaders, or some other supervising adult realized you were missing in action. I don’t recall that I dazzled any judges in my inaugural year. As I said, there was a lot of competition. However, the following year I enjoyed a memorable accomplishment. 2n the day after the 4-H dairy judging took place, the Michigan ArtiÂżcial %reeders &ooperative sponsored a show. It was open to anyone who had a heifer or cow that was the offspring of this form of insemination. A number of dairy herdsmen with registered cattle chose to use artiÂżcial breeding, selecting particular bulls that they felt would improve certain traits in their herd, boast milk production, or create some desired diversity. /.'. 'ickerson was the MA%& technician at that time, so he and his wife ran the show. He was also one of our club leaders, focusing on the kids (his included) who showed beef cattle. Queenie (who competed as a senior yearling that second year) was eligible, so I entered the competition in the Junior Division. I was 12 years old. The number of participants was smaller than the large 4-H Holstein classes, so I had cause for hope. Still, I surprised and then elated when the judge motioned me to line-up in Âżrst place. I held my breath until he walked over to the microphone to explain his decision, realizing only then that I wouldn’t be put further down the line. Meanwhile, L.D. came over and handed me a small trophy for winning the yearling class. They had already Âżnished the calf division, so I waited until the cows were judged. After that, those of us who had won our respective classes competed in the championship round for

the title of Junior Showman. I Âżgured the cow would have the advantage, but I was wrong. The judge once again motioned for me to line up in the top spot. I got an even bigger trophy. To say my mother was happy would be an understatement. She probably annoyed a few of the other parents with her jubilant reaction. Marguerite Donal was in attendance and took a photo. Since Queenie had come from the Donal herd, she took equal pride in the win. That year the fair took place during the tail end of the wheat season. My father had taken off Monday and Wednesday to watch the judging and help us prepare for my classes; however, on this afternoon he needed to Âżnish combining a Âżeld at 8ncle %ill’s place on Sharpe 5oad. My mother drove me over to the Âżeld to tell him what had happened and show him the two trophies. For a boy or girl--used to the ordinary routines of farm life, school, and church--the annual fair was the stuff of wide-eyed wonder, and eagerly anticipation. While the 4-H activities kept us busy, providing structure and responsibility, even so we got a chance to enjoy some free rein. A rare occurrence. It was a heady feeling. Many 4-H kids, myself included, end up with a little carnie in their blood. It stays with us, even as the years pass by. As a member of 4-H, I tended to the needs of my animal, fed and watered her, removed the manure from the bedding, helped keep the walkways clean, washed my heifer each morning, and did all the preparations prior to judging. As a member there were also the assorted special events that Âżlled the week, more so nowadays than when I was a youngster. Most of all there was the fun I had with friends and other club members. Still, just beyond the livestock barns—beckoning like an alluring temptress--loomed the bright and gaudy colors of the rides and game booths, the blinking lights, the loud music, the voices of the barkers, the smells of French fries and brats, the sweet tastes of cotton candy and caramel apples, the people yelling and laughing on the rides, the sound of the speeding cars in the dare devil show, and the voice of the horse race announcer proclaiming “And here they all come!â€? I remember that Âżrst year, loading Queenie on the back of Loris Mc&ullum’s livestock truck, then climbing up into the passenger side and riding with him as he headed from our place to the fairgrounds. It was a long two miles. I remember the excitement I felt as we drove past 5ainbow Farms, and I caught the sight of the Ferris wheel and the rest midway outlined against the sky. It was a stirring view. It still is.

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, July 26, 2015 – Page 23

More on My Railroad Days By Tom Breningstall, &RS\ULJKW -XO\ It has been some time since I told a story of my youth spent on and around the railroad tracks. The railroad near our home was the Grand Trunk and Western, long abandoned as a working line. The tracks have been removed, and the bed is used as walking trail that Evette and I often hike on. %ut there is more to be told about those days hanging out by the tracks. The ‘we’ I refer to are my brother Paul and sister Mary. 2therwise, the story is Must about my adventures. 2ne thing we did every time we got to the tracks was to see how far we could walk on the rail without falling off into the gravel. I don’t remember how far I went before I tumbled off, but I’m sure I didn’t stay on the rail very long. I do remember that if I was by myself, I would stay on the rail longer. This was because my sister or brother wouldn’t be there to push me off if I was the last one on the rail. Walking on the steel rails was kind of safe for a high wire act; the most I could fall off was maybe twelve inches to the ground. Another fun game was jumping from railroad tie to railroad tie. Sometimes I would simply step from one tie to the next, while other times I would leap as far as I could to see how many railroad ties I could jump over. I don’t remember ever twisting an ankle by either walking the steel rails or from jumping the railroad ties, but the danger was there. Did you know that if you put your head down on the steel rail and press your ear to the cold steel, or hot steel depending on the time of year, you can hear a train coming from far off even before you could hear the train’s whistle blow? Yes, it really works. Try putting your ear on a steel railroad rail the next time you see one. No, no! I didn’t say that; don’t ever try putting your head on a railroad rail. I think there are laws against that sort of thing now days. We had very little money back then. %ut a few times a penny or two would Âżnd its way into my pocket, most likely from a 2 cent return from a pop bottle I had found along the roadway. Down at the railroad track I’d place a penny on the steel rail and wait for a train to come along. I’d linger around the tracks for a little while and, if no train came along, I’d pick up the penny and go home, only to hear a train whistle blow just as I opened the front door at home. 2ther occasions I’d place a penny on the steel rail and a passenger train would Ă€y by so fast that the penny would go missing and the hunt was on. The penny would sometimes be found way down the tracks from where I had placed it, and sometimes the penny would never be found. “What was the purpose of placing a penny on the steel rail?â€? you ask. Well, the train with its hard steel wheels and hard steel of the rail would crush the penny down to a thin piece of copper. The engraving of President Lincoln on the head side and 2NE &ENT on the tail side of the penny could still be seen even though both were grossly distorted. When I found one of the crushed pennies, I’d take it home and, with a nail and hammer, I’d punch a small hole at the top of the penny and make a necklace, key chain, bracelet or some kind of trinket from the Ă€attened coin. I think I still have one of those railroad pennies around here someplace. Making trinkets out of nickels, dimes, quarters or half dollars placed on the steel rails of tracks would have been way cool, but a few pennies was all I could afford to waste. And at the time a penny was even too much money to waste. The area under the railroad trestle or bridge that took 8S 2 over the railroad tracks was another place to play. What could be better than hearing big trucks and cars rolling overhead, and the big trains rumbling under the bridge as we sat under the big concrete viaduct? We wondered where all those people were coming from and going to. 5eading this story, you probably are thinking, “+ow could our parents let us play in such a dangerous place as the railroad tracks?â€? Well, they didn’t know and we didn’t tell them. As children, we were raised in a method that is now called “free range.â€? Like a bunch of chickens, we spent our days roaming the countryside, free, without supervision. No harm was done, and many things were learned. Schools are just a small, but important institution of learning what the world and life is all about. Free thinking is a good teacher for a young mind. Young minds need experience and to be exposed to people, places and things outside of school and home. Leave the electronics home and take your kids for a walk in the woods, learn together the names of trees, plants, animals and even bugs. Watch a spider spin a web, taste wild berries, Âżnd a path never traveled, but most of all have fun and laugh together as a family.

(Must pre-register to participate in Singing Contest. Participation form available at Fowlerville Family Fair Office, Fowlerville News & Views at 226 E. Grand River or download at www.fowlervillefamilyfair.com)

By Steve Horton Among the places selling food and beverages at the upcoming Fowlerville Family Fair will be Mr. B’s Concessions, owned and operated by Doug Burnie of Fowlerville. His stand is located a few yards northwest of the 4-H Building and across from the Red Dairy Barn, operated by the Livingston County branch of the Michigan Milk Producers Association. “We offer Polish dogs, brats, Italian sausages, and hot dogs, served on a homemade bun, along with corn dogs and homemade potato chips,â€? Burnie noted. “I’ve owned the stand for 10 years and, before that I worked for Charlie Boots for six years,â€? he added. “I bought the concession from him.â€? All 16 of those years has included being at the Fowlerville Fair. 7he Boots’ food stands were a familiar Âżxture at the fair for many years. The Boots family donated the funds to build the gazebo in front of the 4-H Building in memory of their son, Del. Both Charlie and his wife, Donna, have since passed away. Along with purchasing one of the Boots’ concession stands, Burnie has also maintained the recipes. “The quality and taste of the homemade buns, homemade chips, and fresh hand-dipped corn dogs were why Charlie Boots’ food was so popular,â€? said Doug. “We have sought to continue that tradition.â€? While Doug is Mr. B, he’s assisted at the stand by wife, Mary, their granddaughters, Carra and Lani Burnie, and, when needed, Vicki and Arnie Luttrell. “We work at three other fairs besides Fowlerville,â€? noted Doug. “We also did six graduation open houses earlier this year, we were at the Car Swap Meet at the fairgrounds this spring, and as a donation we serve the kids at the St. John’s Lutheran Vacation Bible School (held last week). We also are at the Rotary Club’s Dawn Patrol and the Fowlerville Relay for Life in September and this year we’ll be at the Fall Fest that the Historic Society is putting on at the fairgrounds.â€? Burnie, who for many years was the proprietor of Fowlerville Hardware, is no stranger to the local fair. Prior to operating a concession stand, he served on the fair board for several years. During this tenure on the board, he helped spearhead the creation of the Livingston Centre Historical Village. He’s also a longtime member of the Rotary Club and does mission work in Mexico during the winter months. ***
