By Steve Horton The majority on the Fowlerville Village Council accepted a recommendation from the staff, including its Âżnance consultant -ohn 0cCurdy, that the water sewer rate be increased annually for each of the next four years. The Tuarterly rate for non metered users would go up an additional $8 per quarter or $32 extra per year. At the end of four years by 2 8 the increase would be $32 more per quarter or $128 per year. The quarterly rate for metered users (which is higher than the rate charged to non metered users would go up $ per quarter for this coming year or $16 more per year and by the end of four years would be $16 more per quarter or $6 more per year. The additional revenue, 0cCurdy explained, is needed to generate enough revenue to Neep the :ater 6ewer Fund balanced. +e estimated that nearly $ 8 , in extra money would be needed for the water fund by the 2 18 1 Âżscal year and that the new rates would generate just over $ , , while just under $1.6 million in extra money would be needed

for the sewer fund by the 2 18 1 Âżscal year and that the new rates would generate just over $1.6 million. The combined fund, which is designed to be self sufÂżcient shows deÂżcit budget. The fund supports the daily operations of both the water and sewer departments, along with having money set aside to buy for needed maintenance and repairs as well as equipment replacement and to cover major infrastructure improvements projects. The 1orth 0aple 6treet ,mprovement 3roject, completed last year, included new sewer and water lines and these expenses were covered by money that had been saved up in the two improvement accounts. The quarterly rate for non metered users is currently $176.61. Of this amount, $56.87 is charged for residential water, $1 .73 for residential sewer, $16 for the water improvement account, and $3 for the sewer improvement account. Each of these four accounts would receive $2 extra from the rate increase this year, and an additional $2 for each of the next three Âżscal years. ,n four years the non metered rate increase would be $208.61 per quarter The quarterly rate for metered users is currently $21 .70. Of this amount, $80.6 is charged for metered water, $117.15 for metered sewer, $1 for the water improvement account, and $3 for the sewer improvement account. Neither the metered water nor the metered sewer rates would go up, but the water improvement charge would increase by $ and the sewer improvement charge would also go up another $ . After four years, the water improvement charge would be $22 per quarter, while the sewer improvement charge would be $11. 0etered users are either businesses or factories and many are charged more than a single REU. 0cCurdy said that previous councils (from 200 10 thorough 20013 1 had declined to institute any rate increases for Âżve years in a row. +e cautioned that a decision not to raise rates now would mean that even higher increases would eventually occur in future years. ,n his report, 0cCurdy said that he had been asNed to show what the rates would be if the Village switched to a bi monthly billing with the goal of lessening the pain and to compare Fowlerville’s water and sewer rates to neighboring communities. ,n that comparison, he showed the charges in Âżve villages, four cities, and four townships. Only nearby 0arion Township had a lower rate, while the City of +owell was at $17 .77 and *enoa Oceloa Townships were at $186.52. The others ranged from the low $200’s to $ 2 .57 for the City of Williamston. Neighboring Howell Township users pay $275.11 per quarter. ,n the vote on the rate increases, three council trustees cast ‘no’ votes. Carol Hill, after the meeting, explained that she agreed the increases were needed, but wanted to see the Village switch to a bi monthly billing to maNe it easier on residents. 6he noted that in the ensuing discussion (after that vote she learned that residents can pay the bill on a monthly basis. Âł, was not aware that this option was available,´ she said. Cindy 6alfate said that she residents Âłalready pay enough,´ adding, ÂłThis will hurt people on Âżxed incomes.´ -erry %ell said that he felt the increase Âłis too much, too fast for a small community,´ adding ÂłA lot of people can’t afford this extra expense.´ ÂłThere’s enough money in the regular budget,´ %ell said. “We could look elsewhere. Every aspect of the proposed budget showed increases except the council expenses. ,t’s easy just to raise rates.´

This project was the result of a recent brainstorming session with staff and guests about activities they’d like to do this summer. As many guests have enjoyed gardening throughout their lives and no longer are able to enjoy this activity, they suggested a vegetable garden with the crops going to support local hunger efforts. 6everal raised vegetable gardens were created in %2*A'6 outdoor activity space with generous donations from Wilc]ewski *reenhouse, +ome 'epot and several guest families ¹ the 0orris family, %ranch family, 6chomberger family, Casale family, 6ambiagio family, 6chleh family, 6ymons family, and +auber family. %ill, a /CCC employee, along with guests -ack %ill, readied the raised beds and began planting.

The Fowlerville Library now offers Ancestry. com, The Fowlerville Review, and The Fowlerville News & Views on our library internet computers. Our local history is housed at the Village of¿ces at this time due to space restrictions – however anyone may have access to our historical information. Right now, we have Audrey Glass organizing our entire Fowlerville historical collection with

Upon graduating from high school, she joined the Air Force and was stationed in Washington D.C. at the Pentagon. Sponsored by the Air Force, she trained for both the 1968 and 1972 Olympics in kayaking and track. Later in life she worked as a security of¿cer at Lake Chemung Outdoor Resort. She loved being with family and friends, ¿shing, and watching movies. She loved people and would do anything to help anyone in need. She was much loved by everyone who knew her and will always be remembered for her generosity and loving, caring heart. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother William (Bill) Perrine. Survivors include a sister, Mary Ann Hatswell, brother, Phillip (Pep) Perrine, daughters Rebecca (Becky) Cybart and Sarah Tobin, granddaughters Autumn Cybart, Emma Tobin, and Evelyn McCreary, and a greatgranddaughter Adrienne Cybart as well as many nieces and nephews.

Intel Math: formula for sharpening educators’ math teaching methods School may soon be out for summer, but teachers across a two-county region are plugging into professional development to hone their math skills. Starting in July, Livingston Educational Service Agency and Washtenaw Intermediate School District are offering “Changing the Equation Using IntelÂŽ Mathematics.â€? Andrea Pisani, Math Coordinator and Network Director for the Livingston and Washtenaw Mathematics and Science Center, said positive feedback from local teachers has fueled the initiative. Word is spreading among teachers that the program is an effective way to build math skills. “Some educators expressed fear and apprehension at the prospects of effectively teaching math,â€? Pisani said. “Now, there is newfound freedom and conÂżdence in presenting math to their students. We are very excited about the continuation of the summer professional development opportunity. We believe progress is being made in the classroom because educators have the math teaching tools to be successful.â€? Districts that are participating in the Intel Math training are Ann Arbor, Fowlerville, Lincoln, Manchester, Milan, and Ypsilanti. The professional development is made possible through a grant totaling $530,000. Intel Math is an adaptation of the Vermont Mathematics Initiative (VMI) developed by Dr. Kenneth Gross. He says the program “is designed to close the gap between insufÂżcient mathematics training of elementary school teachers and the demands of the contemporary mathematics classroom.â€? The program targets K-8 educators who are primarily teaching in priority or focus schools. Ruth Anne Hodges is Manager of Curriculum and Instruction Unit and Mathematics/Science Partnership Grant Team Leader for the Michigan Department of Education. She introduced Intel Math, the adaptation of the VMI, to Michigan because of its proven track record. “The program has the data behind it to show that it has been successful in other states,â€? Hodges said. “By utilizing the Intel materials and PD protocol, local PD providers can avail themselves of the training provided by national experts instead of spending time designing their own content based training. After the delivery of the initial two-week math training, local PD providers can spend their energy and resources to support teachers in using their new content knowledge to improve their instructional practice.â€? Last year 50 teachers were served by the professional development and the grant allows for more than double the enrollment.

My Road to Sobriety

A Whole New Way of Life By Pastor Tom Tarpley $lthouJh we didnœt know it at the time my brother and I were in for a whole new way of life. The ¿rst thinJ we noticed was that there was no bathroom in the house. When we asked about it my uncle took us outside and showed us this little room that smelled like nothinJ I had ever smelled before. He told us that this was where we went when we had to use the bathroom. There was a maJa]ine hanJinJ on the wall and I thouJht it was for readinJ. Then he took us over to a water pump with a bucket hanJinJ on the handle. He told us one of our duties would be to make sure my aunt had enouJh water in the house. We had never seen a pump before so my brother and I looked at each other like a couple deer cauJht in the headliJhts while standinJ in the middle of the road. We beJan to wonder if our mother really loved us. $fter all she had Must dropped us off with two people we had never seen before who had no indoor plumbinJ no water in the house and no electricity. /iJht was provided by several oil lanterns while the biJ iron lookinJ monster in the corner of the kitchen served as a cookinJ stove as well as a way to heat the house in the winter. For entertainment they had this radio connected to a battery of the same si]e. We used to sit around it on Saturday niJht listeninJ to the proJrams while I tried to ¿Jure out how so many people Jot into that tiny little bo[. (I was only ¿ve and had never laid eyes on a radio before). The ne[t chanJe encountered was church. My aunt and uncle were devoted Christians who belonJed to a full Jospel foot stompinJ hand clappinJ Jet up off your butt and Jet happy and shout church. This was our ¿rst e[perience with church people and they were quite different from what the crowd we were used to beinJ around. I remember the ¿rst Sunday after we Jot there my uncle opened our bedroom door and shouted ³Get up Itœs time to Jet ready for church ´ We could smell somethinJ cookinJ and it was not like anythinJ we had ever e[perienced. $fter JettinJ up and JoinJ out to the well and washinJ up in a wash pan that hanJ alonJside the pump we went back inside to ¿nd my aunt puttinJ the meal on the table. She had prepared a full seven course meal. We thouJht she did this

especially for us but we were to Âżnd out that this was the tradition in this part of the south. On Sunday when you left home for church in the morninJ you didnÂśt return for a lonJ lonJ time. Sometimes it was close to dark when we Jot back. The third surprise was neither my uncle nor my aunt drank alcohol. They believed it was a sin to drink. So for the ne[t two years we would not have a sinJle drink of anythinJ e[cept milk or water. $s time went by we became accustomed to our new environment and as usual we found a way to Jet into trouble. $fter we had been with our aunt for about two years we pulled off a stunt that almost Jave her a heart attack. My uncle owned a little black and white Terrier named Tiny. Tiny was not vicious and he loved to play. My uncle kept him on a lonJ chain connected to the woodshed. One day we heard him barkinJ and runninJ around tryinJ to Jet loose. My brother and I went out to see what was JoinJ on. $s we neared the woodshed we heard what sounded like rocks hittinJ the top of the shed. Sure enouJh when we Jot close enouJh to see we saw a little white boy throwinJ rocks at Tiny and by the way Tiny was actinJ the boy must have hit him. We decided to teach him a lesson. We crept low and were able to Jet close enouJh to Tiny to release him from his chain and off he went throuJh the bushes. In about three seconds we heard a loud scream. We ran up on a hill so we could see over the bushes and what we saw was the boy runninJ away with Tiny snappinJ at his butt as he went. 1ow we didnÂśt need a scientist to tell us that we were in trouble. In those days the last thinJ you wanted to do if you were a black person was to Jet on the wronJ side of a white person. So we decided to try and make it look as if Tiny broke free from his chain on his own. We separated the chain in half by pullinJ one of the links apart and called for Tiny to return. We attached the broken chain to his collar and the other half we left chained to the buildinJ. We then locked Tiny in the woodshed. $ short time later two of the whitest and biJJest policemen I had ever seen came walkinJ down the hill toward our house. ÂłOh boy weÂśre in for it now.) Next week: “Come and get these rascals or I will put them in a home.â€?

Gardziella plans to attend Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois after high school and has several ideas about what her major will be. “While I am a little nervous about college, overall I am excited for new opportunities and experiences. I am undecided in what I will major in, but I am possibly considering history” said Gardziella, “U.S. History has always interested me the most”. Gardziella has made many friends throughout the years of school and will be missed. “I have known Grace since I was little and I will miss her a lot when we go off to college,” said fellow senior and friend Vivian Gaffney, “My favorite memory with Grace is when we used to walk home together every day after school and of course her crazy laugh!” Gardziella’s departing advice for underclassmen is, “Make sure to get involved in the opportunities given to you and to have fun!”

Senior Spotlight-- Grace Gardziella By Haylie Moran Whether it’s athletics, academics, or participating in clubs, Grace Gardziella is surely a well-known name at Webberville High School. Gardziella is the daughter of Scott and Tammy Gardziella, and sister to Matt and Nate Gardziella, both graduates from Webberville High School. Gardziella has been attending Webberville Schools for all thirteen years. She has made such a positive impact and has a bright future planned ahead of her. Gardziella has participated in Girls JV and Varsity Volleyball for four years, National Honors Society for three years, ROOT’s for two years and Choir for three years. Not only has she participated in these sports and clubs throughout high school, she has also maintained the highest GPA in the senior class. “I can’t name a student more committed to her studies than Grace,” said English teacher Katie Pingle, “I also can’t think of anyone kinder, sweeter, or more humble.” Gardziella’s work ethic and positive attitude will de¿nitely be missed. It has been a huge accomplishment for her to become such a well-rounded student. She does a good job of setting an astonishing standard for other students to try to live up to. Pingle also said about Gardziella, “Grace always does the right thing. I’ll miss the example she sets for others, as very rarely do people hold themselves to such high expectations.”

Webberville Community Schools offers Summer Meal Program For too many children, the end of the school year means an end to the free and reduced price meals they depend on throughout the year. But this summer, with many families struggling to put food on the table, Webberville Community Schools Food and Nutrition Summer Meal Program will help to ensure children do not have to worry about their next meal. The program will provide regular, healthy meals and snacks for children who might not otherwise receive them. The Summer Meal Programs must meet federal nutrition standards, ensuring that children continue to have access to the healthy, well balanced foods they receive throughout the year. The program is open to ANYONE 18 years of age or under. The program is not limited to only students in Webberville; anyone in the area, who meets the age requirement, is eligible for free meals and snacks. Children may go on summer vacation, but hunger doesn’t. Webberville Community Schools Summer Meal Program bridges the summer hunger gap and lets our children know that the community cares about their well-being all year long. Meals will be served in the Webberville Middle and High School cafeteria Monday – Friday from June 15th- August 21st (We will be closed the week of June 29-July3). Snacks will be served from 9:45AM – 10:15AM and lunch will be served from 11:30AM – 1:00PM. Other sites are being considered. There is no limit, a day, a week or the whole summer.

Other areas that might be serviced include day camps (band or athletic), daycares, low income apartment complexes, parks or recreation areas, bible schools or any place that children may congregate. If you have any questions please call 517-521-3422 extension 350. Please have a healthy, happy summer! Cindy Courter/Dawn Preadmore Webberville Community Schools ccourter@webbervilleschools.org

For an Estimate Call

This week the House passed both the general budget and school aid budget. For the ¿fth year in a row the House was able to pass a balanced budget months ahead of the deadline. Our state continues to make great strides forward and an important part of staying on that path is smart spending. With that in mind this budget focuses most of its increases on the areas residents asked to see them--our roads and our schools. We have been able to set aside an unprecedented amount for Michigan schools and set a ¿rm foundation for long-term road funding solutions. The focus on Michigan schools at all levels is tremendous and has the highest funding dollars in Michigan’s history. Every school in our district will see an increase in per-pupil funding. We’ve found a way to provide more funding for preschool, K-12 schools, community colleges and universities. Higher Education is receiving an increase of $19.5 million, an increase of 1.6 percent. Any possible tuition increases will be frozen at a rate of 3.2 percent. It is important that Michigan students have as much opportunity as possible to get a college education if that is the path they choose. The Community College budget is receiving $4.3 million in additional dollars, emphasizing our commitment for all avenues of education. The 47th House District will receive almost $900,000 in additional road funding in this budget. This is a great start toward long-term solutions for roads. Our work on this is by no means ¿nished but it was critical that this budget make some progress on that front. While I can’t agree with every spending detail of the budget, overall it is moving us in the direction we need to go. We are still focused on ¿scal responsibility, including paying down an additional $1 billion in unfunded liabilities. This budget is a strong compromise between preserving existing funds and investing in areas of great need, especially the improvement and maintenance of our state’s roads and bridges. The budget now takes the next step in the process and moves to the Governor for his consideration.

Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting 7:00PM

In a few days eager students will run through the school doors for three months of freedom from homework, classrooms and study routines. The end of school is a delightful time for children as they look forward to the freedom of summer. For some parents, however, the end of school can be stressful, the joy of summer taking a backseat to stress over soaring expenses and tightened budgets. For some families, summer means higher grocery bills and worries about keeping the cupboards full of nutritious food. Nutrition is a key ingredient in a child’s education and development, whether in school or not. Students who live in food insecure households are at a disadvantage both academically and physically compared to their food secured peers. This is true for everyone but is especially crucial for children and their development. According to the Michigan Department of Education-

Grants Coordination and School Support Breakfast and Lunch Information by District and Building -School Year 2014-2015 Report , Over 5400 children in Livingston County are eligible to receive free or reduced school lunches, which are missed during the summer months. The Salvation Army of Livingston County and The Livingston County Hunger Council recognizes the severity of this issue, work together to Âżght food insecurity and help families meet this basic need, and support healthy children by providing free meals through the Summer Lunch Bunch meal program. This will be the 7th year for Summer Lunch Bunch, which helped provide over 13,000 meals last year. Here’s what a few had to say about the program: “Thank you so much for providing me and my children with something fun and healthy to do this summer. God Bless you all!â€? “The kids always looked forward to Lunch Bunch. They enjoyed the activities and meeting new kids.â€? Summer Lunch Bunch serves area families at four community meal sites located in Brighton, Fowlerville, Hamburg, and Hartland. These sites meet once weekly between June 15 to August 14. The program includes a served meal and a nutritionally balanced pantry food pack to help build a week’s worth of meals and unique activities. There is no income requirement and no waiting list, as all families will be served. The program is supported through monetary and in-kind donations as well as USDA grants, but due to the increased need for the program and improved pantry packs, monetary support is greatly needed this year. Someone can support 71 served meals, enough meals for 2 children through the entire program, for only $250 or provide 758 pounds of canned food for only $500. Advance reservation is required to participate at the full service sites. Application forms are available at the Corps Community building Monday-Friday, 8:30 am-4:30 pm or download the application, complete and return it to the ofÂżce. Support for The Salvation Army’s summer feeding program can be sent to P.O. Box 647, Howell, MI 48844 or dropped off at our 503 Lake Street, Howell Corps ofÂżce. To volunteer or obtain more information contact Liz at 517-546-4750 ext 107 or Liz_Welch@Usc.SalvationArmy.org

Ask the Michigan State Police Trooper By Sgt. Michael Sura I was working a sporting event with – oh, I don’t know approximately 100,000 people, when I noticed a small boy who looked scared. His head seemed on a swivel stick, looking to the left and to the right. He was calling out for his dad and mom, and he began walking faster and faster. I quickly walked up to the boy and stopped him. He looked at me and with a panicked voice began talking, but I stopped him. I smiled at him and said the one statement that has never failed me in this situation. “Did your mom and dad get lost?â€? You see, kids always know where they’re at. Parents are the ones who get confused. This was quickly followed by a smile. The boy calmed down and nodded his head. I told him not to worry because I was an expert at Âżnding lost parents. I stood there and talked with him for a few minutes until I heard yelling. A mother, with more fear in her voice than the child, came running up - quickly followed by the child’s father. This was followed by questions, more hugs, and a thank you for Âżnding him. As I started to walk off, I gave the boy a quick wink and said “Keep an eye on your parents. You don’t want them getting lost again.â€? The boy smiled. Even though the weather is still a little cool, soon summer will be here - and with that, all kinds of fun summer events. This week, talk with your kids about what to do if someone gets lost. Designate a place for your children to return if they get lost, or tell them to stay right where they’re at. Tell your children to look for a security ofÂżcer, police ofÂżcer or an employee if you are in a public place. Remind them they can also ask another mom with children for help. Prepare your children so they can identify themselves. Younger kids can have their information in a pocket or you can make them a bracelet. You can also write your phone number on the tag of their shirt. If they are older, have them practice reciting their phone number and let them know they can call 911. Make sure to dress in bright colored clothes which are easily spotted. Take a photo of your child with your phone before you leave home or when you arrive at your destination. This way police and security will know exactly what they are wearing the day of the event. Speak with your child about wandering away and remind them of the importance of staying with you. It is always better to prepare and not need something then to not prepare and wish you had done something. As I have said, sometimes parents do get lost. 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.

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, June 7, 2015 – Page 23

Money and Politics: Change Now! By Lee H. Hamilton I’ve seen a lot over my decades in politics, and not much alarms me. But I have to be blunt: Money is poisoning our political system. The people who matter most to a representative democracy — the ordinary voters in whose interests elected politicians are supposed to act — feel as though they’ve become an afterthought in the political process. The tidal wave of money washing over our elections, with no end in sight, is causing Americans to lose faith in the system. In that way, the course we’re on threatens the core values and principles that deÂżne us as a nation. Oddly, many politicians see no problem — except perhaps the inconvenient need to spend a signiÂżcant portion of every day dialing for dollars. They don’t, however, believe this is corrupting. They don’t believe they’re selling their votes, or even that money inĂ€uences their behavior. Most Americans believe differently. Poll after poll Âżnds that about half the voters think members of Congress are corrupt. A Democracy Corps poll last summer found clear majorities across the spectrum worried about the impact of Super PAC spending as “wrongâ€? and leading “to our elected ofÂżcials representing the views of wealthy donors.â€? In fact, while it is a rare member of Congress who would change his or her vote because of money, there is ample evidence that where the majority of Americans and a small but wealthy minority disagree, the inĂ€uence of money on politics tends to outweigh the views of ordinary voters. When donors contribute heavily, they have a disproportionate inĂ€uence over the legislator that’s not “corruption,â€? but it means that opinions of average citizens are diminished and the views of the big donors are ampliÂżed when it comes to policy-making. If it appears that this state of affairs has gotten worse in recent years, it has indeed. A series of Supreme Court decisions over the last half-decade has resulted in Super PACs’ unfettered ability to raise and spend money, and freed individuals from limits on their giving. The result has been not just the surge in campaign spending we’ve seen, but the fact that much of it is “darkâ€? — or beyond the ability of journalists and regulators to discern its sources. This money purchases attack ads that saturate the airwaves with scant clue as to who is funding them. It buys ads that drown out even the voices of the candidates and the parties themselves. It pushes our politics toward the extremes, emphasizing ideological purity, unremitting partisanship, and a political culture that exalts confrontation over consensusbuilding. In other words, it cripples representative democracy. So what can we do? In an ideal world, we’d see a constitutional amendment or a reversal of the Supreme Court’s recent decisions. I’m not holding my breath. For the present, we’ll need to work within the bounds of the court decisions. The Âżrst priority is to Âżnd ways of boosting prompt Âżnancial disclosure — ways to trace the source of campaign spending on behalf of candidates and incumbents before an election so that voters know who is supporting whom, and can match candidates’ positions on issues with the interests of their Âżnancial backers. Disclosure done after elections is meaningless. Since it appears unlikely that Congress will soon step up to the plate, it may be that regulatory commissions — the FEC, IRS, FCC — will have to move on stricter disclosure

deÂżnitions and rules. The White House could even consider an executive order requiring full disclosure of political spending by all companies with federal contracts. The second major reform is to make public funds available for Âżnancing campaigns, thus amplifying the contributions of ordinary Americans, freeing candidates to spend more time on substance rather than fundraising, and letting them engage more fully with voters rather than donors. In states that have used it, public money works. The odds of action are not encouraging. Yet I’m heartened by something Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters in New Hampshire the other day. “You’re going to have money dumped in this election cycle that’s going to turn off the American people,â€? he said. “There’s going to be a need and a movement to try to control the money in politics.â€? Let’s hope he’s right.

Thelma Rossetter— Alumni Association Treasurer

Fo

un

Fowlerville Alumni Association held its 122nd Annual Banquet this past Saturday (June 6) at the high school. Since attending her ¿rst one EacN in 1 as a recent graduate, Thelma Rossetter has missed only two of them. “One time I was in the hospital,” she said. “The other time my granddaughter was having her wedding in 1eErasNa that weeNend. I tried to get her to change the date, Eut she wouldn’t.” The arithmetic would indicate that this year marNs the 1st time she’s Eeen to the alumni Eanquet. AsNed µwhy’ she has Eeen such a faithful attendee, Thelma replied that “I liNe to see the people, especially those from the classes around my (1 ) group, and the Nids who went to school with my three sons. 0y Eoys were all in sports. Some of their teammates lived in the country so, instead of

going home from school and coming EacN to town for the game, they’d have dinner at our place. Also, my sons’ friends all Nnew that the EacN door was open and they could always stop Ey to shoot pool, watch T9, or visit.” While seeing fellow alumni is one reason she attends the yearly event, Thelma is also a memEer of the alumni Eoard. Since 1 she’s served as treasurer. “I was treasurer of my class, so I guess they ¿gured I could do the MoE,” she laughed. +er duties include handling the ticNet sales, paying the Eills, and giving the ¿nancial report at the alumni association’s meeting. She also reserves rooms for the various classes that are celeErating a milestone reunion, usually those that are oEserving their th, th, and 6 th anniversaries since their respective graduations. Thelma noted that she graduated on June 1 of 1 and the following Saturday she and the other memEers of the class attended the alumni Eanquet. “BacN then a graduating senior was required to go,” she said. “But that wasn’t a proElem for most people. It was a Eig social event. <ou dressed up, and there was a dance afterwards.” Organi]ers Eelieve the Fowlerville alumni gathering may Ee the only one in 0ichigan that has met every year since its initial one. Whether that tradition continues into the foreseeaEle future is questionaEle. “The younger alumni aren’t that interested in attending,” said Thelma. “We used to have Eig turnouts each year for the class having its 2 th reunion. Then we didn’t start seeing a Eig turnout until the th reunion. /ately, it’s Eeen the th year class reunion and the older ones. Some of the younger classes still organize reunions for the alumni Eanquet, Eut they don’t usually draw a Eig attendance. 0any of these classes, rather than meeting at the alumni Eanquet, hold their own party.” Thelma grew up in Fowlerville, the second of Ford and Agnes *rostic’s si[ children. She was Eorn June 2 , 1 2 and will Ee oEserving her th Eirthday later this month. “We lived in JaNe Fowler’s house on +iEEard Street, across from the (then) high school,” she said. “0y dad worNed for 'etroit &reamery for around years. (The milN receiving plant was located east of the current Fowlerville Feed & Pet Supplies). My sisters are Ione (Simpson) who is the oldest, Ruth (Krueger), Bonnie (Holzatfel) who has passed away, and Margaret who died when she was a month old. My Erother is Marvin *rostic.” Thelma Nept Eusy during her high school years, worNing part-time and participating in school activities. “I played in the Eand and orchestra,” she recalled. “My ¿rst MoE was worNing at the candy counter at the dime store for (rnie /ange. In my Munior and senior years I sold ticNets at the Orr Theater and also worNed at Spagnuolo’s, Eoth at the store and helping Ellen with the EooNNeeping.” Thelma’s high school days coincided with the ¿rst part

of World War II, a fact that had a profound impact on her class. “AEout three-quarters of the Eoys in my class went into service shortly after they graduated,” she noted. Thelma, meanwhile, went to worN for the ne[t three years at Howell Motors, operating a Eilling machine in the sales department. Among the Eoys from the &lass of ’ who went into the service was *ilEert µ*iE’ Rossetter II. His parents owned and operated Rossetter’s BaNery in 'owntown Fowlerville where Shear Image is now located. He Moined the 8.S. 1avy and was assigned to suEmarine duty. “We were friends during high school, Eut we didn’t start dating until after he got out of the service,” Thelma said. “Ione was married to FranN Simpson, and *iE’s sister, Arleen, was married to AlEert Simpson, so they got us together.” The couple married in 1 6. They had three sons 'avid, *ilEert III, and Paul. After her youngest had started school, Thelma went EacN to worN. “I had a part-time MoE at &ommunity State BanN, worNing for *eorge Tait, Jr. as a cashier,” she recalled. “I also helped his wife, June, do the posting. “I was only there a short time when I was told that the new attorney in town, Joseph &o[, was looNing for a secretary,” she said. “It was more hours, so I applied. I got hired and, as they say, the rest of history.” This history spanned the early 1 s until her retirement in 2 , with Thelma serving as the ¿rm’s legal assistant. “'uring the early years we did a lot of ta[ worN, with most of our clients Eeing area farmers,” she said. “WorNing in a law of¿ce was always interesting. Every day was different. <ou never Nnew who was going to walN through the door or call on the phone. <ou never got Eored.” While Thelma worNed as a legal assistant, *iE was employed as a claims adMuster for Michigan Farm Bureau. He was also on the Fowlerville Fire Department, including a stint as the ¿re chief. When their sons were younger, Eoth Thelma and *iE were involved in the scouting program as leaders. In later years, they moved to WeEEerville where *iE served on the village council and then relocated to Howell. During the winter months they went south, ¿rst to Arizona and then Florida. “*iE lived to play golf,” said Thelma. “He didn’t liNe the courses in Arizona, not enough green grass, so we started going to Florida.” After *iE passed away in 1 at age , Thelma moved EacN to her hometown. “I started here, so I ¿gured I might as well ¿nish here,” she laughed. David and wife 1ancy also live in Fowlerville, *iE and wife Carrie reside in Texas, and Paul and wife Alina are in Howell. She has nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren. “I quit going to Florida after *iE died, Eut now I visit my son in Texas and let him do the cooNing.” Thelma noted that she serves on the council at St. John’s /utheran, the church where she was Eaptized. “I was active in the Eastern Stars up until a few years ago.” She listed reading and sewing as two leisurely activities she enMoys doing.
