FT Techno of America Fowlerville Proving Ground celebrates 10th year FT Techno of America (FTTA), an Aisin Group company, celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Fowlerville Proving Ground (FPG) on Monday, Oct. 12. A ceremony marking the event was held at the FPG in rural Handy Township, just southeast of Fowlerville. Aisin and FTTA executives, customers, local governmental of¿cials, and invited guests from the Fowlerville Community attended the event. A highlight of the celebration was the presentation of a $20,000 check from the company to Fowlerville Community Schools. Accepting the gift were Superintendent Wayne Roedel and other school administrators in attendance. “We are proud to have served customers and the residents of Fowlerville for 10 years,” said Yoshi Kato, president of FTTA. “As an independent vehicle evaluation company we are able to serve the entire automobile community as it strives to build the safest, most environmentally responsible vehicles. We are honored to play a small role in the pursuit of that goal.”

The program featured a variety of speakers who provided both a history of the facility and an insight into its future. Local government representatives, including Handy Township Supervisor Ed Alverson, State Representative Henry Vaupel, and State Senator Joe Hune all commented on the facility’s impact on the community. Aisin executives who spoke-including Scott Turpin, Executive Vice President of Aisin Holdings of America; Yoshi Kato, President of FT Techno of America; and Mike Benjamin and Terry Takano, executive of¿cers with FT Techno--each took turns discussing the company’s commitment to the area and its upcoming goals. The program also included presentations by Jeff Boyd, Director of the Livingston County Emergency Services, and Mike Murphy, Undersheriff with the Livingston County Sheriff Dept., thanking the company for their support of their respective county agencies. Fred Dillingham, president of Livingston Development

High School’s “ATHLETES� OF THE WEEK

By Audrey Glass Programming Assistant Hello, this is Audrey again, one of the historical liaisons for the Fowlerville District Library. One of the really cool things we have in the Fowlerville Historical Collection is the Fowlerville High School Yearbooks. We have yearbooks going as far back as the year . Yearbooks are a great resource for Âżnding who has lived in the Fowlerville area. Even if you don’t know the people or families in the yearbooks, they are still very fun to e[amine and Âżnd out about class sizes, fashion, and old school subjects, sports, and activities to see how thing have changed, or stayed the same over time. One interesting thing about them is that many of the yearbooks have special names. Over the years The Commander has been the most popular name. Names of some of the early yearbooks were: Tabularium, Aurora, The Gluck Auf, Tattler, Echo, The Chronicle, The Oracle, and The Marvel. A unique feature in the yearbook from 1911, the Aurora, was that each of the seniors had a quote to accompany their name and picture. All the quotes are interesting and rather funny. Below you can read the students’ names and quotes for yourself: Evangeline H. Clements: “Loving and gentle until Jud Scott stroked the wrong way.â€? Clare -. CanÂżeld: “Shyness was neir thy blame.â€? Joe L. Cook: “How I like a country school ma’am!â€? Daphne D. Van Riper: “Procrastination is the thief of time.â€? J. C. Sherwood: “Life is not so short but there’s always

Letter to the Editor

Respose to Olivia Verfaillie’s letter (published in Oct. 4, 2015 issue): I respond as a contributing member of Americans United for Separation of Church and State (A8). I am con¿dent that AU would defend the right of the students to bring Bibles to school; or for that matter the Qu’ran, or the writings of Marx, Nietzsche, Malcolm X, or Mao, for use outside of study time. Americans United works constantly to resist Focus on the Family, and Alliance Defending Freedom, both organ-izations notorious for working to undermine the separation of church and state, and trying to obtain governmental funding for their religious programs, contrary to the U.S. Constitution. AU is headed by the Reverend Barry W. Lynn. I urge readers to become members! Respectfully, Thomas F. Higby, Fowlerville

Fowlerville Varsity Football Team falls to Ionia, 20-16

Fowlerville played catch-up against Ionia in their varsity football match-up on Friday, Oct. 9, but came up a touchdown short when the buzzer sounded. The ¿nal score showed the Bulldogs topping the Gladiators, 20-16. Ionia crossed the goal line late in the opening stanza, then added another TD early in the second period. The PAT kick after the ¿rst score was ¾no good’ and the two-point conversion attempt after the second touchdown also failed. Fowlerville trimmed the difference to 12-7 a few minutes later when quarterback Nick Semke scored on a one-yard keeper. Bailey Edwards then split the uprights with his PAT kick. The defenses took over with neither team getting on the scoreboard until the closing minutes of the game. In that ¿nal stanza, it appeared Ionia had sealed up the game when a 22-yard touchdown pass gave them a 20-7 lead. The two-point conversion pass failed. That assumption quickly changed. Getting the ball after the ensuing the kick-off, a trick play saw Josh Nabozny, normally a receiver, complete a 66-yard pass to Semke for the TD. Edwards then made it 20-14 with his point-after kick. The last two-points for Fowlerville came when Ionia elected to run the ball back into the end zone from 34 yards out with only three seconds left in the game for a safety. Statistically, the Bulldogs played the stronger offensive game with 220 total yards. They competed 10 of 19 passes for 110 yards and rushed 46 times for another 110 yards. The Glads, meanwhile, had 143 total offensive yards. They completed 4 of 10 passes for 101 yards with most of them coming on the fourth-quarter TD throw. On the ground they picked up 42 yards on 22 attempts. Time of possession was a key in the outcome. Ionia had the ball for just over 33 minutes, while Fowlerville had control of the pigskin about 15 minutes. Alex Brownlee rushed 13 times for 45 yards. Semke completed 3 of 9 passes for 35 yards, while Nabozny had one throw for 66 yards and a caught a pass for 30 yards. Leading tacklers were Adam Jolliff with 8, Nabozny with 6, Semke and Wyatt Thomas with 5.5 each, and Garrett Prochnow with 5.

WHY GRADES ARE IMPORTANT

(Find out why grades are an indicator of your child’s future) As parents we all want our kids to get good grades in school, right? But why? I am Sam Larioza, a father of two awesome kids and owner of Ohana Karate. Over the last 12 years we have helped hundreds of parents in our community raise their children. Many have underestimated the importance of their kid’s grades in school. Here is the secret: How a child performs in school sets in place the habits, attitudes and character traits they will carry into young adulthood and have for the rest of their lives! Parents ďŹ nd this story helpful in understanding this concept: “There are 3 types of people in this worldâ€? Type 1: “Always does a little bit more than anyone expects!â€? You can easily tell if a child is in this group. They consistently get all A’s and B’s in school. They are the ones on the team that always hustle. They are the ones that read one extra chapter or practice the piano 5 extra minutes! Type 2: “Always does just enough to get by!â€? The indicators for this group are students that get A’s and B’s in some classes (the ones they like) and D’s and F’s in others. They are the kids on the sports ďŹ eld that always do just enough and not any more. They are the kids that will see how poorly or slowly they can do a chore at home and get away with it. Type 3: “Are always trying to do less than they have to!â€? They typically do this by taking shortcuts or even cheating. They struggle in almost every aspect of school. On the sports ďŹ eld they stop or quit when they think no one is looking. They blame everybody and everything for why they can’t do something. So, which group is your child in? ...You are probably thinking “This is all ďŹ ne and good but what can you do?â€?

Ohana Karate -

Here is the key: We are all products of our life experiences! And right now your child’s biggest life experience is coming from school! They spend 7 hours a day, 5 days a week there! Every single decision and act they do at school develops their attitudes and most of all their HABITS! I am running out of space, but here are 3 tips our parents use: 1. “Open the envelope� - You need to open the letter containing their report card and know their grade in every single class. Better yet, go online and know their grades all the time and let them know that you do! 2. “Never, ever miss a parent-teacher conference� - Parents will skip the conference because they know their kids are doing “okay� or they have more important things to do. Never, ever miss one. Ever! 3. “Make grades important to you� - Grades must be important to you. Both #1 and #2 do this but you need to take one step further. Don’t nag your child but talk about school and grades all the time. Grades are important to us! We talk about school and grades all the time. We require every student to turn their report cards in to us. If you need any more tips or help with your child’s performance in school give me a call or email. You do not need to be a student at our karate school. We just want to help every child in our community. It makes all of us better!

Yours for Rock Solid Kids.

Michigan Senate Report By Joe Hune, 22nd District

Honoring Our Vietnam Era Veterans On October 8, I had the honor to join with more than a thousand Vietnam era veterans and attend the “Michigan Says Thanksâ€? commemoration at the Capitol in Lansing. The purpose of the event was to do something that was long overdue: welcome home our Vietnam era veterans and thank them for their service while remembering those who were held as prisoners of war or were listed as missing in action. It was great to see many local veterans from our district at the Capitol actively participating in the event. Army veteran Dave Somerville of Howell, who served from 1966 through 1971, had poetry featured at the event. Somerville, who was inspired to begin writing poetry after a visit to the Vietnam memorial wall, said he was “glad that Vietnam era veterans are starting to be recognized.â€? David Mester, who served in the Marine Corps from 1969 through 1971 and is the chaplain at VFW Post 6464 in Fowlerville, was moved by the event at the Capitol. “In our silence and pain we have made a difference in how Americans perceive the veterans of today who are returning home,â€? Mester said. “Vietnam veterans should no longer be ashamed for an unpopular conĂ€ict because we served our nation with dignity and honor. The event at the Capitol was incredibly moving, and many positive things will come out of it. It was truly an honor to stand shoulder to shoulder with my brothers and sisters who served — that’s welcome home.â€? In addition to honoring our brave veterans, the event provided a good venue to educate attendees on the war as well as provide much-needed information to veterans through 25 different historical stations. From the Michigan Travelling Memorial, which contains the names of the more than 2,600 Michigan veterans who were killed in action in Vietnam, to a motorcycle procession from the Rolling Thunder Chapter 5, the event was both moving and educational. The Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) was also on hand to answer questions and to schedule followup appointments regarding beneÂżts such as disability compensation, pension, aid and attendance, and dependent indemnity compensation. It is important that we never forget the sacriÂżce our veterans have made for each and every one of us. We should continue to bring attention to the many ways we can provide help to those who have defended our freedom. For Michigan veterans interested in obtaining a Veterans %eneÂżts and Services *uide, please call my ofÂżce or visit www.SenatorJoeHune.com and click Publications located under the Customer Service tab. If you have any further questions, please email my ofÂżce at SenJHune@senate. michigan.gov or call toll-free at 855-JOE-HUNE and my staff will be happy to assist you.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony held at Herrmann Funeral Home

A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held at Herrmann Funeral Home, with Penny Herrmann, Joanie Kelley, Doug Kelley, their staff, and members of the Fowlerville Business Association in attendance. Herrmann Funeral Home purchased the Fowlerville business, located at 1005 E. Grand River from Scott and Kim Niblack earlier this year and took over operations on March 2. Those in attendance included Penny Herrmann, Joanie Kelley, Doug Kelley, Kathy McConnell, Kathy Arledge, Heather Ross, Tammy O’Doherty, Laurie Humphrey, Paul Harmon, Patti DuFore, Dawn Horton, Trevor Temmen, Ruby Hale, Pamela Pariseau, Ed and Irene Haller, Mark Wilson, and Tom Couling.

Ask the Michigan State Trooper By Sagt. Micheal Sura Troopers, when starting their shifts, have to radio in to the Central Dispatch advising them they are in service. Over the last 20 years, I have heard several different “check ins” as they are called. “Hello Central, I’m ready to make a difference.” “Checking in central, ready to rock ’n roll.” My favorite is “Central this is 1249, please return your seats to the upright position, make sure your tables are locked, and your seatbelts are on...we are about to take off.” Another good check in was “Central, I’m ready to take a nice tasty bite out of crime.” The last one made me think about how we can all help take a bite out of crime. Crime Stoppers of Michigan partners with law enforcement in eight counties in Southeast Michigan by giving citizens who want to remain anonymous a venue for reporting crime. The eight counties include Genesee, Livingston, Oakland, Monroe, Macomb, St. Claire, Washtenaw, and Wayne. In 2014, Crime Stoppers of Michigan, processed approximately 7000 tips resulting in 187 law enforcement successes. Crime Stoppers in 2015 have already assisted law enforcement with 1 4 successful tips in Must the ¿rst six months. Citizens can submit a crime stoppers tip by calling 1-800-SPEAKUP, a tip on line at www.1800speakup.org or you can also text a tip to 274637. Once the tip is received by Crime Stoppers, it is forwarded to the law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over the criminal act. After the investigation is completed, the law enforcement agency con¿rms the tip assisted in the arrest of the individual and the tipster becomes eligible for a reward. The rewards range from $2500 for homicides, hit and run (resulting in a fatality), and missing endangered people, and up to $1000 for other crimes. Tips called into 1-800-SPEAKUP, that are outside the service area, are forwarded to the Crime Stoppers organization that has the jurisdiction. Crimes Stoppers provide other services such as door hangers, which highlight photos and information about crimes. Cases are posted on the Crime Stoppers website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and sent to area media. Other Crime Stoppers programs include Project Safe Campus, Project Good Samaritan, and Crimes Stoppers Prison Program. Project Safe Campus empowers the student body to monitor criminal activity within their school. Project Good Samaritan is a faith-based program utilizing churches to spread the Crime Stoppers mission. The prison program offers a special tip line for prisoners to anonymously submit tips by routing around the monitored phone system. There are several ways for people to help out and remember any information you provide is anonymous. Well till next time…this is 1249 telling you all to, “Take a nice tasty bite out of crime.” 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.

We Face Real Challenges to Representative Democracy Column by Lee H. Hamilton People who care about the United States’ place in the world often fret about challenges to representative democracy from other countries. I’d contend that the more formidable challenge comes not from abroad, but from within. For starters, it’s hard to make American representative democracy work. Our country is large, growing, and astoundingly diverse by every de¿nition of the term. To govern it, we rely on a bewildering array of branches and units of government, which means that to solve a problem you have to navigate a slow, untidy system. And that system rests on the consent of a public that often wants mutually contradictory things: to encourage the risktaking that produces a dynamic economy, for instance, while reining in the private sector’s excesses; or to shrink the de¿cit, but without cuts in defense spending or entitlements and no additional taxes. Our challenges come at us with rapidity and mind-boggling complexity. They include racial and class divisions, the social and economic pressures confronting families, a strained public education system, a constant Àow of complex foreign and economic policy questions. To deal with them, every level of our system needs to be at the top of its game. I take heart from the diligence and creativity of many politicians, yet I’m worried that several trends, especially at the federal level, are weakening our ability to get the results we want. Two of our basic governing institutions, Congress and the presidency, are struggling. Congress has adopted some unfortunate political and procedural habits: it governs by crisis, fails repeatedly to follow time-tested procedures that ensure accountability and fairness, panders to wealthy contributors, and too often erupts in excessive partisanship. There are glimmers that some members are willing to relearn the legislative arts of negotiation, compromise, and consensus-building, but these need to be front and center, not an occasional hobby: in a government that reÀects the American population, Congress cannot function effectively without these skills. The presidency, too, faces challenges. The executive branch is bloated, has too many decision makers and bases to touch, lacks accountability, and desperately needs better, more effective management. Moreover, the decades-long march toward increased presidential power at the expense of the legislative branch severely undercuts our constitutional system and raises the question of how far down this road can we go and still have representative democracy. There are valid reasons it has happened, especially because the modern world demands quick, decisive action. But our system functions best when we have a strong president and a strong Congress who can

interact, consult, and work together. We face other challenges as well. Too much money is threatening the core values of representative democracy. And too many Americans have become passive and disengaged from politics and policy; representative democracy is not a spectator sport. While the basics — voting, keeping oneself informed, communicating with of¿cials, getting involved in organizations that promote the causes we believe in, improving our communities — are crucial, they aren’t always enough. As citizens we also have to learn how to solve problems ourselves. We have to model the behavior we expect from our representatives at every level by ourselves working with all kinds of people, seeking to understand and ¿nd common ground with people who disagree with us, learning how to communicate our ideas effectively, and in our search for a remedy, building consensus behind the ideas we’re promoting. Despite its challenges, our political system forms the core of American strength. It enshrines fundamental power in a body elected by the broad mass of the people, and is based solidly on the participation and consent of the governed. Allowed to work properly, it is the system most likely to produce policy that reÀects a consensus among the governed. Above all, it has the capacity to correct itself and move on. In other words, we don’t need to reinvent our system, but rather use its abundant strengths to ¿nd our way through our problems and emerge stronger on the other side. It is not written in the stars that representative government will always prosper and prevail. It needs the active involvement of all of us, from ordinary voters to the president. Each of us must do our part.

Savvy Senior Column By Jim Miller

How to Find a Better Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Dear Savvy Senior, I recently received a letter from my Medicare drug plan provider notifying me that they are increasing my co-pays next year. I’d like to look for a better plan but could use some guidance. What’s the easiest way to do this? Need a Change Dear Need, Cost increases and coverage changes are an annual event for many Medicare Part D prescription drug plans. Fortunately, during the open enrollment period (which is Oct. 15 – Dec. 7), you have the ability to shop and compare plans and choose one that better ¿ts your needs and budget. <our new plan will go into effect Jan.1, 2016. Here are some tips that can help with this process. Shop Online If you have Internet access and are comfortable using a computer, you can easily shop for and compare all Medicare drug plans in your area, and enroll in a new plan online. Just go to Medicare’s Plan Finder Tool at medicare.gov ¿nda-plan, and type in your ZIP code or your personal information, enter in how you currently receive your Medicare coverage, select the drugs you take and their dosages, and choose the pharmacies you use. <ou’ll get a cost comparison breakdown for every plan available in your area so you can compare it to your current plan. This tool also provides a ¿ve-star rating system that evaluates each plan based on past customer service records, and suggests generics or older brand name drugs that can reduce your costs. It’s also important to keep in mind that when you’re comparing drug plans don’t judge a plan strictly by its monthly premium cost. Low-premium plans are often associated with higher prescription co-payments and may end up being more expensive. Look at the “estimated annual drug costs” that shows how much you can expect to pay over a year in total out-of-pocket costs – including premiums, deductibles and co-pays. Also, be sure the plan you’re considering covers all of the drugs you take with no restrictions. Most drug plans today place the drugs they cover into price tiers. A drug placed in a higher tier may require you to get prior authorization or try another medication ¿rst before you can use it. Need Help? If you need some help choosing a new plan, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free one-on-one Medicare counseling in person or over the phone. They also conduct seminars during the open enrollment period at various locations throughout each state. To ¿nd the contact information for your local SHIP visit shiptacenter.org, or call the eldercare locator at 800677-1116. Shrinking Donut Hole <ou also need to know that Medicare’s “donut-hole” – the coverage gap in which you must pay out-of-pocket for your drugs – continues to shrink. In 2016, you will get a 55 percent discount on brand-name drugs, and the federal subsidy for generic medications will rise to 42 percent. The 2016 coverage gap begins when your total drug cost exceeds $3,310 (that includes your share and the insurer’s share of the costs) and ends when your total out-of-pocket costs reach $4,850. After that, your Part D plan usually covers around 95 percent of your remaining drug costs for the year. Low-Income Assistance Also, be aware that if you’re income is under $17,655 or $23,895 for married couples living together, and your assets are below $13,640 or $27,250 for married couples not counting your home, car or life insurance policy, you may be eligible for the federal Low Income Subsidy known as “Extra Help” that pays Part D premiums, deductibles and copayments. For more information or to apply, call Social Security at 800-772-1213 or visit socialsecurity.gov/ extrahelp. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month

(SPM Wire) With children back in their school routines, October is the perfect time for local communities nationwide to unite to raise awareness of bullying prevention through education, outreach and activities. This is the message from the organizers behind National Bullying Prevention Month, which occurs each October. What was once historically viewed as “a childhood rite of passage” is no longer the case, as far from “making kids tougher,” bullying can result in such demoralizing effects as anxiety, self-esteem-loss, depression and school avoidance -and even lead to physical injury or worse. The special month has its roots in a week-long campaign by the PACER Center, an organization that assists young people with disabilities. It has since expanded to a monthlong initiative to combat bullying, and is recognized in communities across the country, with hundreds and hundreds of schools and organizations contributing as partners. This year, such celebrities as Lea Michelle, Zachary Quinto,

Emma Roberts, Robin Roberts and others have taped special videos to campaign to stop bullying. More details are available at www.stompoutbullying.org, where students can share their own anti-bullying videos, as well. Other organizations, like The Kind Campaign, are pitching in with school programs and assemblies. Information is about The Kind Campaign is available for parents, students and educators at www. kindcampaign.com. PACER, which developed the initial National Bullying Prevention and Awareness campaign back in 2006, has gone on to forge partnerships with such education organizations as the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and the National PTA. To help individuals and communities respond to bullying, PACER is providing free resources for schools, parents and students at www.pacer.org/ bullying. Of course, all the anti-bullying resources can be used beyond the month of October, urge experts, to help inspire, educate and encourage people to better deal with and prevent bullying year-round.

By Jenna Kingsley Courtney Ferris is the daughter of Patrick and Shari Cain; she is the sister of former graduates, David Ferriss, Jeramie Ferriss, and Melissa Ferriss-Bird. She has attended Webberville her entire school career. Ferriss has participated in volleyball for one year, journalism for one year, and she is a six year member of the FFA. She also enjoys participating in the art program where she likes to draw and paint. In fact, her freshmen year she painted a mural on the side of the town ice cream shop Moo-Hoo’s. “Courtney is an empathetic and dependable student,â€? said FFA and journalism advisor Colleen Scott Keiser. “I believe she has a very promising future ahead of her, and I hope she moves forward with conÂżdence and focus.â€? In the fall of 2016, Ferriss plans to attend Western Michigan University to major in psychology and minor in art studies. “I want to be a PTSD therapist for Veteran and active duty military,â€? said Ferriss. “My Grandpa fought in Vietnam and suffered from PTSD, and after seeing how that affected him it inĂ€uenced me to want to be able to help others with this disorder,â€? said Ferriss. Keeping busy made her school days better especially when she was participating in volleyball. “Volleyball helped me stay on top of my grades, kept me busy, and kept me focused,â€? said Ferriss. Ferriss enjoyed high school, but she did have some regrets. “I wish I would have been more involved than I was, and my advice to underclassmen is to not skip out on all the opportunities because you will regret it later,â€? said Ferriss. In her spare time she likes to spend time with friends and family, she likes to volunteer her time to the FFA outside of school hours, and she also likes to spend time on her art projects. “I could see Courtney going far in the future especially with her art--she is a very talented artist, and I believe she has a bright future ahead of her with her grades,â€? said fellow senior McKenzie Kollek. “ I believe she will do very well in her college years.â€?

Support resources offered to family & friends of Domestic Violence victims The Michigan State 3olice MS3 is seeking to educate citizens regarding domestic violence and the resources available to friends and family to help support victims. Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior in which one person uses physical, sexual or emotional abuse to control another person. According to the Centers for Disease Control and 3revention, on average, 4 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States. If you know someone who is being abused, you can help them by: Educating yourself about domestic violence by seeking information from websites and support groups. Remembering there is no ÂłTuick Âżx´ to domestic violence. Making sure the victim knows you believe them. Listening attentively. 1ot blaming the victim for what happened to them. Taking the victim’s fears seriously and expressing sincere concern. 1ot making Mudgments. Reminding the victim that what has occurred is not their fault. For more information on local domestic violence support services, visit the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic Sexual Violence website at www.mcedsv.org or call the 1ational Domestic Violence +otline at 00 SAFE .

Showcasing the Michigan DNR

Michigan’s Canada goose called a success story It’s no secret that Michigan offers some of the best Canada goose hunting anywhere in the world. But many waterfowl hunters, whose perspective only covers the last 30 years or so, might have a hard time believing it wasn’t always that way. Michigan’s resident Canada goose population – which produces the lion’s share of the annual harvest – was virtually none[istent a century ago and not especially noteworthy ¿ve decades later. “Back in the ’50s, it was a rare thing to see a Canada goose in this state,” said Barbara Avers, the waterfowl specialist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. “It was rare for hunters to kill a goose. It was a pretty big deal. The restoration program has been exceptionally successful.” Historically, the /ower Peninsula was part of the giant Canada goose population’s breeding range. But gradually, due to a variety of factors, the geese disappeared. “They had become rare by 1912,” said Dave /uukkonen , a DNR wildlife research biologist who has studied the birds for most of his career. “At one time, the giant Canada goose

was thought to be extinct.” While migrant geese – the Mississippi Valley population, which migrates across the west side of the /ower Peninsula, and the South James Bay population, which follows the /ake Huron coast – came through in the fall and spring, the rest of the year there were no geese in Michigan. By 1920, however, waterfowl enthusiasts had located a small population of giant Canada geese in Rochester, Minnesota. There were also a few private “decoy” Àocks of giant Canada geese around the country that preserved the sub-species. A couple of Michigan’s private citizens – W. K. Kellogg of Battle Creek and H. M. Wallace of Howell – obtained some birds and began raising them. “Wallace supplied the state with birds,” said /uukkonen. The Michigan Department of Conservation – now the DNR – raised geese at the Mason State Game Farm. “Between 1928 and 1964, they released 2,500 geese on 30 sites,” /uukkonen said. “That resulted in 14 breeding areas by 1969 with an estimated population of 9,400 birds.”

“By the 1970s, geese were abundant enough that they were being transported to numerous places,” /uukkonen said. “That whole translocation evolved from a restoration to a conÀict resolution. There are still birds that are being translocated. The effort is to take birds from areas where they are unlikely to be harvested, to areas where they are likely to be harvested.” By 1982, the local population was so strong that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which had been protective of the migrating populations, allowed Michigan to establish an experimental late hunting season to take advantage of the resident population after the migrants had moved through. It was the ¿rst step in what has become Michigan’s more than ¿ve-month-long goose season. Michigan was the ¿rst state in the union to have a special season for local birds. That ¿rst late season was Dec. 22 to Feb. 16. The next year the DNR moved the opener to Jan. 1 and the late season has been very similar ever since. The giant Canada geese continued to prosper. By the late 1990s, when the population peaked, it was estimated in excess of 325,000 birds. The DNR adopted a management strategy to maintain the population between 175,000 and 225,000. In 1987, the Fish and Wildlife Service began allowing an additional early season to help control the population. That season opens Sept. 1 with a liberal daily bag limit. During the ¿rst years of early season hunting, hunters were asked to bring body parts of harvested geese into DNR of¿ces so they could be analyzed to see if they were locals or migrants. (The giants, which are larger than the migrants, could be distinguished by the measurements of their heads and bills.) The harvest was so overwhelmingly made up of local birds that the USFWS liberalized Michigan’s goose hunting season. Michigan now is allowed 107 days of goose hunting, but the state is divided into three management zones so the seasons are different across the state. “<ou’d have a hard time ¿nding a day between Sept. 1 and Feb. 14 that you couldn’t hunt a goose somewhere in this state,” Avers said. /ast year, Michigan hunters shot an estimated 140,000 Canada geese. Of those, 75 percent were giant Canadas. “These days there are so many resident geese that it’s hard to tell when the migrants are coming through,” said southeastern Michigan DNR biologist Joe Robison. Avers says she hears complaints about geese from some people – typically lakeside residents and farmers – that the Canada goose reintroduction “has been too successful.” Fact is, the USFWS allows the state to develop programs to resolve human goose conÀicts. The program allows some nest destruction as well as relocation of geese. The DNR no longer traps geese for relocation, but allows private contractors, who are trained and permitted to do so. The birds are corralled during their Àightless period in spring and transported, mostly to state game or wildlife areas, “because we don’t want to create a nuisance somewhere else,” Avers said. “A lot of times they go back to where they hatched within a few weeks, but at least the landowners get a break for some period of time.” You won’t hear complaints about too many geese from hunters, however. /ast year goose hunters took home an average of four birds apiece. “We’ve got geese in good abundance across the state,” Avers concluded. /earn more about goose and other waterfowl hunting opportunities in Michigan on the DNR website www. michigan.gov/hunting.

Michigan House Report By Dr. Hank Vaupel 47nd District This past week in /ansing, the Michigan House deliberated on House Bill 4674 which aims to reduce incidents of crime by individuals with mental-health needs. This bill amends Kevin’s /aw, which has failed to ful¿ll its promise to help people. By allowing friends and family members to help obtain outpatient care for them, treatment becomes proactive rather than reactive, and can be instrumental in preventing crime or crisis. The bill simpli¿es the process for seeking out courtordered mental health outpatient treatment and also broadens the de¿nition of individuals eligible for treatment. Taking care of the mental-health needs of our citizens early will save taxpayer money over time by reducing hospitalization and incarceration costs. *** I voted in support of SB 240 last week, a bill to amend the Michigan /iquor Control Code to prohibit the use, possession, and sale of powdered alcohol in Michigan. It is believed that powdered alcohol is easier to sneak into public places and has a greater potential for abuse. For this reason, powdered alcohol poses a serious threat and liability to business owners, schools, and employers.The bill passed with overwhelming support and now heads to the governor’s desk to be signed into law. The law will take effect 90 days after gubernatorial signature. *** I was honored to speak at the Daughters of the American Revolution Vietnam Veteran Welcome Home Ceremony on Oct. 11. As a veteran of that era, I know that my fellow men and women in uniform did not receive the proper homecoming that they deserved. I take great pride in being able to say thanks so many years later. *** Fowlerville Proving Ground celebrated its 10 year anniversary this past week. I was pleased to offer them congratulations at their anniversary celebration with an of¿cial State of Michigan tribute. The facility is a great asset

Practical Money Matters Everything you need to know about the new generation of payment cards Column by Nathaniel Sillin If you’ve received a replacement for your credit or debit cards in the mail lately, take a closer look. That little gold chip on the front is going to make it tougher for thieves to steal your data. By year-end 2015, Visa estimates that 63 percent of cards in American wallets will feature this new technology (www. VisaChip.com) aimed at derailing counterfeit fraud. The new chip adds a unique, one-time code that changes every time you use your card to make an in-store payment. That automatic security code change makes your data nearly impossible to use to create a counterfeit card. Counterfeit or “clonedâ€? cards account for about two-thirds of in-store fraud to the tune of $3 billion, according to Bostonbased research Âżrm Aite Group. The transition to chip cards is expected to be nearly complete by year-end 2017. You’ll see very slight differences in using these cards. First, you’ll need to insert a chip card into a new slot on built for chip cards and keep it there until your purchase is complete. You won’t have to swipe traditional magnetic strip on the back anymore. You will still be able to sign, enter a PIN or just pay-and-go for everyday transactions as before. Just remember to take your card with you when the transaction is complete. However, if you are currently using an old but unexpired card or if the business where you’re doing a transaction doesn’t have the upgraded chip card equipment, don’t panic. The strip on the back of your card will continue to work with all card terminals for the foreseeable future. For merchants – the collective name for the stores, restaurants and other businesses where you use credit and debit cards every day – the transition to chip cards is moving along as well. According to a recent survey by Visa, approximately 90 percent of business owners are aware of chip technology and about 70 percent have already upgraded their equipment or have plans to do so. Current estimates show that 47 percent of U.S. terminals will be able to read chip cards by the end of the year. There’s one more incentive for all businesses to get on board with chip card technology: Starting October 1, liability for some counterfeit fraud may shift from the card-issuing Âżnancial institutions to retailers unless they are able to accept and process chip card transactions. For merchants, processing chip transactions will likely involve a hardware or software upgrade somewhat similar to upgrading a cell-phone contract. In many cases, the terminal will be included in the cost of the service. About a third of merchant terminals are already chip card-capable and just need a software update to fully function. For the smallest businesses, some low-cost options for upgrading card acceptance terminals can cost $100 or less. Square https://squareup.com/contactless-chip-reader, for example, recently announced a new $49 card reader that accepts chip cards as well as mobile payments and they’re giving away 250,000 of them to small business customers at no cost. If you travel overseas regularly, you’ve probably already seen chip card technology in action. It’s based on a global standard called EMV and is already at work in countries moving to cashless options for private and public goods and services. One Âżnal note. While you’re waiting for your new chip cards, you’ll still be able to use your current strip-based credit cards in new machines under their zero liability fraud protection rules. However, debit card security rules are different, so it is best to check with your bank on their guidelines so you know your funds are secure. Bottom line: The move from strip to chip cards will create

The Salvation Army of Livingston County seeking bell ringers

The traditional sound of bells ringing at The Livingston County Salvation Army Red Kettles are as much a part of the holiday season as snow on Christ-mas, midnight church services, and presents under the tree. The Salvation Army Red Kettle season is one of The Salvation Army’s largest fundraising events that bring in almost a third of the Livingston County Corps annual budget. Money raised during the campaign helps the Army serve over 7,000 persons in need each year in Livingston County through a wide array of programs including mentoring and education for kids, shelter for the homeless, energy assistance for the elderly and food for the hungry. However as many know, it takes an army to make that happen. With the 2015 Christmas goal set at $378,000 The Salvation Army of Livingston County is getting a jump on the season by opening up the bell ringing website, RegistertoRing.com, on October 9. Individuals, organizations, families, and corporations will be able to schedule a date in advance and plan the rest of their holiday season around bell ringing! “Traditionally the website is not open for individuals and organization to sign up until after November 1, however, to meet our goal we will need to ill all of our kettle sites this year,” said April Dertian, Development Director. “By opening our site early, we are encouraging organizations, businesses, families and individuals to save a date, in hopes to ill all sites and ring loudly all season long” In addition to volunteer bell ringers The Salvation

Army of Livingston County also enlists individuals as paid ringers. “We use paid ringers to ill the kettle sites that are unmanned by volunteers,” said Major Prezza Morrison. “Paid individuals keep the bells ringing and kettles manned during times that would otherwise be unmanned and kettles that are unmanned bring in little to no funds. Additionally, we are able to help individuals in need earn some extra income for the holidays. It’s a win, win all the way around.” Anyone interested in volunteering to bell ring may sign up online, www.RegistertoRing.com, beginning October 9, 2015. Organizations wishing to take an entire day of bell ringing at one or several locations should contact Liz Welch directly at extension 347. Individuals interested in becoming a paid bell ringer may apply at The Salvation Army Corps of ice, MondayFriday, 9:00am-12pm& 1:00pm - 4:00pm, beginning Monday, October 5, 2015. Paid ringers will begin ringing on November 6th with various shifts through December. Applicants are encouraged to apply before October 16 as the approval process may takes several weeks.

Fowlerville Varsity Volleyball team has excellent showing with 2nd SODFH ÂżQLVK The Fowlerville Varsity Volleyball Team took 2nd place at the Mt. Morris Tournament held at Hamanday High School on October 3rd. The girls were tied for Âżrst in their pool, beating Midland Christian 25-20, 25-17, and Millington 25-21, 25-16. They tied with Bad Axe 2225, 27-25 and went on to beat Houghton Lake in the semiÂżnals 26-24, 25-14. Once again they had to play a tough Bad Axe school and they took them to three games 21-25, 25-20, 10-15, losing in the end taking home a second place trophy. The girls played outstanding defense all day and had a great showing for the weekend. For the day, Erin Vielbig led with 28 kills, 7 blocks and 13 points in the middle and Leah Ash followed with 22 kills and 8 blocks. Paige Temple had a great day setting, accumulating 68 assists, 23 digs, and 19 points. Sara Domine played great defense with 57 digs and 21 points.

Giant Pumpkin at Kreeger

Clara Eason, age 9, is a fourth grader at Kreeger Elementary. She’s shown here with a Giant Pumpkin that her grandfather, Jerry Eason, left at the front entrance of the school last week. It weighs 1,447 pounds. Jerry raises these over-sized pumpkins at his Fowlerville residence and enters the largest ones in area contests. This pumpkin placed fourth in Dundee. Another one earned ninth-place honors at a St. Johns’ competition. While this pumpkin is big, it came from the seed of a pumpkin that grew to over 1,600 pounds last year. Jerry has been raising these large pumpkins, as a hobby, for the past 15 years. Jerry donated the pumpkin to his granddaughter’s school, ¿guring she and the other kids would enjoy looking at it.
