Students to stage car crash scene Event will draw attention to drinking, texting By Gerald LaVaute Heritage Newspapers
A mock crash between two vehicles will be staged at Milan High School 1 p.m. May 7. Five Milan students will portray victims of the crash, among the 35 members of the high school’s chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions, the group sponsoring the event. One driver will portray a person who is drunk. The other will portray a person who is texting while driving. Seniors Chelsea Jarvis, 17, and Tracie Rasmussen, 18, are among the SADD members who are organizing the event. Jarvis plans to attend Monroe Community College for an associate’s degree in nursing, with hopes of
becoming a nurse practitioner. She helped to coordinate the event as part of her senior project, which requires that a student spend 100 hours completing a project and enabling the student to graduate four weeks early. Rasmussen plans to study cosmetology or orthodontics. The mock crash, they said, is staged every four years or so. Tarpaulins will cover the two vehicles on the scene. Jarvis said a drunk driver was actually driving one of the vehicles before it crashed. Stadium Towing and Recovery in Ypsilanti donated both vehicles. At 12:45 p.m., the students will be released from the school and will be ushered to the site of the crash outside the school. Midwest Medflight, located at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, paid for the expense to put on the event. Personnel from Midwest Medflight will narrate the story of the crash. The

Larry G. Skiles Jr., an Ann Arbor financial adviser for the financial-services firm Edward Jones, recently met with legislators in Washington, D.C., to seek legislation to increase savings and enhance retirement security. This is the 26th year for this effort, making it one of the longest-running nationwide grassroots outreach efforts to Congress in existence.
Skiles was among 57 financial advisers chosen from among the firm’s nearly 12,000 who traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby on behalf of individual investors. Skiles does this as a member of the firm’s Grassroots Task Force, a group dedicated to voicing the investment concerns of individual investors to local, state and national lawmakers. While meeting with legislators, Skiles discussed how the Edward Jones Grassroots Task Force supports tax incentives that encourage people to rebuild and retain their retirement accounts, which have been diminished in the current recession. “We appreciate the opportunity to communicate the concerns of individual investors, especially those here in Ann Arbor, and make sure they are heard on Capitol Hill,” Skiles said in a news release.
