City asks voters to raise mill rate Rachel Greco

| rgreco@lsj.com

CHARLOTTE — Voters will have to decide Nov. 8 if they’re willing to pay a little more in taxes for the next three years to help the city balance its budget. If approved Charlotte’s millage rate would be increased by .7 mills, from 14.2913 to the city’s maximum tax rate of 15 mills. The current millage rate has been reduced slightly each year for several years as a result of the Headlee Amendment, which caps property taxes each year at the rate of inflation. The proposed increase would cost the owner of $150,000 home an estimated $53.15 a year. The new millage could be applied each year for the next three years, but the council may not levy it all, if it is not needed.. It would also generate an estimated $159,800 more in revenue for the city.

Facing deficit

Officials say the city still needs to close an estimated $400,000 gap this fiscal year. “This is one of the measures we’re looking at in order to balance the budget,” explained Charlotte City Manager Gregg Guetschow. Charlotte’s city council voted to ask for the tax hike in June, just weeks after

they approved two slight tax increases in the new budget year — a one-tenth mill tax to fund annual curbside leaf pick-up within the city and an increase of the city’s millage rate by .3769 mills for general operating expenses. Guetschow said staff reductions are likely, regardless of the millage request’s success at the polls. However, the funds it would generate for the city could save a few positions. “This translates into two staff people,” said Guetschow. “These are two staff positions we’d have to cut.” The city employs 50 people. In the last three years five full-time positions have been cut — 10 percent of the staff. Guetschow cited declining property values and cuts in state revenue sharing as significant strains on Charlotte’s budget. Council members say they plan to review the new millage rate annually as part of the budget process. The council is reserving the option not to levy the additional tax being sought. “I give it an even chance of passing,” said Guetschow. “I think people are concerned about their household budget, but I also think they’re concerned about the level of services provided by their local government.”

CHARLOTTE — Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital’s AL!VE facility was called many things during an open house last week — “Innovative.” “Amazing.” “Beautiful.” “Inspiring.” In its first phase AL!VE will be a 45,000-square-foot reconstruction of the former Felpausch grocery store location at 800 West Lawrence Ave. On Sunday, Oct. 23, with the $12.6 million first phase of the project nearly complete, community members got a look at AL!VE, which is planned to open on Nov 21. Charlotte resident Sandy Maatsch was on hand during the open-house style preview as a volunteer. She

answered questions and directed visitors see rock a climbing demonstration, musicians playing and artists at work. “I see things here today that weren’t here on Friday,” she said during the event. “It’s been exciting watching this take shape.” Lori Pray feels the same way. Her family made a donation to AL!VE’s demonstration kitchen in honor of her mother-in-law Lourel Pray, who passed away. Pray said the kitchen, which will offer classes for people learning to make healthier meals, is a fitting tribute to Lourel. “Her whole life was really centered around being a mother and cooking in the kitchen for her family,” said Pray, of her mother-in-law. “The point of the kitchen is to help people learn how to cook for themselves rather than dining out.” AL!VE will eventually be an 80,000-square-foot facilSee AL!VE, Page 6

Morse hopes to make a positive difference in Potterville, if elected. “This is tough times and hard decisions are going to have to be made,” he stated. He added that officials need to listen to others and compromise. Morse said city officials must manage the money Potterville has and attempt to pay off debt.

He is the owner and president of National Unclaimed Freight Furniture, with four locations in Michigan, one of which is located on Saginaw Street in Delta Township. French said he wants to develop a “trustworthy city government” that does not exercise control over the daily lives of Potterville residents. “We must create an environment that attracts businesses and citizens, less taxes and regulations and more peopledriven answers,” stated French.

Norman and his wife have lived in Potterville for over 30 years and have two children. The retiree was appointed to City Council in April and cites a lack of trust in local officials as a major issue. He said all major decisions should be made in a public forum. “In my opinion, the biggest challenge facing the city of Potterville is dealing with declining revenue,” stated Norman. “The lack of revenue can be partially offset by resource sharing with other communities and restructuring the Charter. Another big challenge is that lack of trust in the city government. It will be difficult in turning this around, but

Maureen Storie Storie, a long-time resident of Potterville, has two children.

Secondly, I would like to get the ‘community’ feel back into Potterville, get more involved with our school board, students and all citizens so they have the desire to help with community needs and make this city great once again.”

ity centered on community health and well-being. The Charlotte hospital’s “wellness hub” will offer everything from women’s health services to an indoor walking path and healthfood cafe. Hospital officials need to raise a total of $4 million before AL!VE’s second phase can begin. That will include a conference center

and children’s programming and child care. But they are well on their way, having already raised $2.7 million. Charlotte resident Christie Dutcher has been involved in the hospital’s fund-raising efforts for AL!IVE. She said she saw a great deal of “surprise and awe” Sunday during the community preview. “It really is as great as people hoped it would be,” she said. “I think a lot of people had no idea how amazing it would turn

out to be.” Nevertheless, Dutcher said the community has given AL!VE a “swell of support.” Charlotte Mayor Dee Smith, who attended a press event for the building just a few days before the preview, described AL!VE as “unique, innovative and inspiring.” Hospital officials have stressed the facility will be much more than an extension of the hospital’s Health and Wellness Center. They say the project is aimed at promoting the

community’s vitality and wellness. “The experiences of AL!VE are really what matter,” said Hayes Green Beach Hospital CEO Matt Rush. “It’s not the building but the experiences of AL!VE that matter.” While some of what is offered at AL!VE, which will include a staff of about 35 people, will be fee-based – other offerings there will be free and open to the public. That will include the walking path and gathering spaces throughout the building.

County opts out of health caps alanmiller@lsj.com

CHARLOTTE — In September, the Michigan Legislature voted to place a limit on how much taxpayers can be asked to pay for public employee health insurance costs. Unless a local unit of government — if it isn’t a school district — doesn’t want to follow the limits. School districts have no choice as to whether they will comply. In October, the Eaton County Board of Commissioners said, in effect, ‘thanks but no thanks’ to the state for its limits as they apply to the county. Before the vote was taken at the commission’s Oct. 19 meeting, Commissioner Sue Hoffman (R-Grand Ledge) told the board, “The state should not be telling the county

how to spend its money.” With no dissenting votes, commissioners voted to exempt Eaton County from the requirements of Act 152 for the 2012 calendar year. Two of the 15 commissioners (Hoffman and Wayne Ridge (R-Charlotte)) abstained because their spouses are county employees. Commissioner Roger Eakin (R-Dimondale) was not present for the vote. Michigan’s Act 152, signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder on Sept. 24, limits public employers’ payments for employee health insurance to $15,000 per year or 80 percent of the cost for family coverage, whichever is greater. The law allows cities, villages, townships and counties, but not school districts, to vote annually to exempt themselves

from the requirements of the law. A two-thirds vote is required. In the resolution exempting Eaton County from the law’s requirements, commissioners noted the potential cost of expected litigation over the legality of the law, as well as the fact the state of Michigan had effectively chosen to exempt itself from the law’s requirements. The act does not apply to unionized employees with contracts in place as of the date of the law, for the duration of their existing contracts. Currently, according to the county controller’s office, 422 county employees carry health insurance. Of these, 215 are union members and 207 are not represented by unions. Commission Ways and Means Chair Blake Mulder (R-Oneida Twp.) told the

commission he felt it was unfair to single out nonunion employees. “It is unconscionable to impose a limit on payments to one part of the employees and not to others,” he said. Future exemptions would be subject to annual votes, each requiring twothirds majorities. For 2011-12, Eaton County employees with health insurance pay five percent of the premium. For family coverage, employees pay $978 of the $19,561 annual cost. Employees with single coverage pay $326 of $6,521, while two-person policies cost employees $783 of the $14,867 total premium. The total county appropriation for employee health insurance, according to the controller’s office, is $4,277,511.

FROM THE MAYOR Dee Smith teered their time to assist with the hockey rink project, along with many local residents. Your volunteerism is greatly appreciated and I am sure that those using the rink this winter will appreciate it even more. My thanks to City Councilman Kevin Weissenborn and DPW Direc-

tor Amy Schoonover for spearheading this. HGB Hospital held its AL!VE open house this past weekend and many were able to see the progress of this project. It is good to see the old run down grocery store retrofitted to be used in a manner from which the entire community can benefit. It was terrific to see the hundreds of children in the Halloween parade.

What a great event, thanks to Ann Garvey at the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce and the local businesses who participate in this event. This is another reason that Charlotte is a great place. Please remember the Charlotte High School performance of “The Beauty and the Beast” is coming up next month. We have a lot of talent to be proud of in this com-

munity and we need to support them. If this is anything like previous performances, it will be well worth attending. I hope to see you there. Nov. 10 is the Marine Corps birthday and Nov. 11 is Veterans Day, so fly your American flags proudly and if you enjoy freedom, take time to thank a veteran. Dee Smith is the mayor of Charlotte.

Nearly 26 million people in the United States have diabetes according to the American Diabetes Association. Diabetes diagnoses have multiplied 400% since 1958. The prevalence is so great many researchers are now considering diabetes an epidemic. Some factors contributing to the drastic increase include changes in diagnostic criteria, improved screening, lower mortality rates among people with diabetes, poor lifestyle factors and the increased rate of people who are overweight or obese. Recent estimates project that as many as 30% of American adults will have diabetes by 2050 unless behaviors and habits change. The real burden of diabetes is caused by its complications. Two out of three people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke. The rate of amputation of those suffering from diabetes is 10 times higher than for people who don’t have the disease. Diabetes is also the leading cause of kidney failure and new cases of blindness in adults. The good news is that, for many, diabetes can be prevented or delayed. Lifestyle factors that appear to lower the risk of diabetes include increased physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight, eating more fiber and following a lower fat diet. If you or someone you know has prediabetes or diabetes, take steps to get educated. In recognition of American Diabetes Month, Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital is hosting a free community Diabetes Forum from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 8, to help increase awareness of this common and chronic disease. Dr. Tony Marl, internal medicine physician from Charlotte Medical Group is the keynote speaker. The event is at AL!VE, 800 W. Lawrence Ave. in Charlotte. Advance registration is encouraged. To learn more about managing diabetes, or to register for the event, call HGB at 517-543-1050 x 1249. Melanie Shehan is a registered dietitian with Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital. Shehan helps people of all ages by providing nutrition education as well as information on diabetes management and nutritional treatment of other conditions.

CHARLOTTE — On Saturday, Sept. 24, work was completed on the final phase of Eagle Scout Candidate Dan Crabtree’s Eagle Service Project, which has provided five new park benches along the scenic woodland trails at the Lincoln Brick Park. The initial phase of the project, which removed and disposed of hazardous barbed wire from an old fence near one of the park trails along the Grand River, was completed in August.

Oriole gridders end season with 43-9 loss Scott Yoshonis syoshonis@lsj.com

PORTLAND Charlotte ended their 2011 football season with a record of 4-5 after a 43-9 loss at Portland on Oct. 21. Ryan Bartolacci completed five of his 17 passes for 98 yards, including a 65-yard touchdown strike to Latrell Levanduski against the Raiders, who enter the postseason as the third-ranked team in the state in Division 5. Aside from that long pass, the Orioles found yards hard to come by, amassing just 139 yards of total offense in the game, including just 41 rushing yards. Portland jumped all over Charlotte from the start, scoring the first four touchdowns, including a 40-yard interception return, before Bartolacci’s pass to Levanduski, which made the halftime score 28-6. The Orioles fell behind 43-6

in the second half before Curtis Long added a 34-yard field goal in the fourth quarter for the last Oriole points of the season. The loss stopped a threegame winning streak by the Orioles, and consigned the team to its second consecutive losing season at 4-5. Charlotte finished 2-7 in 2010. But the future of the team is bright, according to the opposingh coach in the game. “They’re big up front, but the experience factor is a big thing for them,” Portland head coach John Novara said. “They’re young, but I think that they are definitely going to be a team to reckon with in the years to come.” The game was also the last varsity contest for the program’s seniors, Aubrey Parrish, Patrick Eldred, Curtis Long, Brandon Ripley, Dustin Bevins, Jake Walker, Dan Schumacher, Matt Stair and Chase DeBack.

Charlotte spikers advance to the CAAC final Scott Yoshonis syoshonis@lsj.com

CHARLOTTE Charlotte’s volleyball team has put together an impressive run with districts looming, winning 8 of 9 matches on the way to the championship of the inaugural CAAC Silver tournament. While the Orioles fell to Portland in that CAAC Silver final, they claimed

two major scalps on the way to the title match. Charlotte defeated perennial power Okemos in the first round of the CAAC tournament on Oct. 19 in a five-set marathon, 25-23, 25-23, 14-25, 24-26, 15-9. The key to the match was Charlotte’s front-line defense, as four different players came up with blocks in the deciding set. Maggie Goeman had

three blocks, Jo Goeman and Maddie Earl each had two and Kirsten Falseta had one against the Chieftain big hitters. “Our front line dominated that last set and Okemos couldn’t recover,” Charlotte head coach Dennis Richardson said. “The block is the first line of defense and these young ladies did the job at crunch time.”

Another key to the emotional win, one of the biggest for the program in recent memory, was the fan support, according to assistant coach Shannon Nevins. “The fans really back our team and made us lift our game to a new level,” Nevins said. “They were so loud and had awesome support for our team.”

Charlotte next played at St. Johns in the tournament semifinal on Oct. 24, coming from behind after losing the first two sets, and charging back to win another five-setter 24-26, 14-25, 25-18, 26-24, 15-7. But the Oriole run came to an end in the championship match on Oct. 26, in which Charlotte took the first set 25-14, but Portland won the next three, 25-21,

25-22, 25-20. The Orioles will begin MHSAA district play at Williamston on Tuesday, Nov. 1 against Lansing Catholic at 5:30 p.m. The winner of that match will play Haslett on Tuesday, Nov. 2 for the right to face either Williamston, Eaton Rapids or Lansing Sexton for the district championship on Friday, Nov. 4.

God not only sees what you are doing but He also searches and understands the motives and thoughts behind what is being said and done. There are many people who think that they are pulling something over on God. They live the way they want, say what they want to say, do what they want to do with their time, their talents and their money and then wave this magic wand saying, “Well, God knows my heart.” Let me assure you, that yes, God does know your heart. Listen to what God says about the heart of man. Isaiah 29:13 (NLT) “And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.” God knows where our heart is. God does not want our money. God does not

want our singing, our worship, our praise just to fill the air with sound. God is looking at our hearts and looking to see if we are drawing closer to Him or are we just going through religious rituals. I didn’t know any better. I didn’t realize. I didn’t think it really mattered. Listen to what God’s Word says in Proverbs 24:12 (NLT) “Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.” For God understands all hearts, and he sees you. He who guards your soul knows you knew. He will repay all people as their actions deserve.” You can’t fool God. You may fool your family, your church, your pastor and you may even fool yourself but you can’t fool God. Confess your sin and receive God’s forgiveness. Start today with a clean heart. Pastor Randy Royston is with Charlotte New Hope Community Church.

I have heard people say, “God knows my heart” when they did something that was very thoughtful and kind but others were questioning their motives. The person who did right was secure in knowing that God knows why they did what they did even though others may question their motives. Then I have known and heard others who would just say whatever they wanted to say and do what ever they wanted to do and just sort of shrug their shoulders and say the same thing, “Well, God knows my heart.” It is a very true state-
