JV Girl’s Basketball AVERIE LATSON: KDV EHHQ D OHDGHU RQ WKH FRXUW IURP WKH ¿UVW day of try-outs for this year’s junior varsity girl’s basketball team. She has been one of the lead scorers in every game so far this season which stems from the hard work she put in on the off season as well as every day at practice. Averie battles against other post players on the court, and always proves to be one of the top players in the area. Keep up the great work, Averie!

KELSI MEINECKE: had a slow start to the season, but through her hard work and perseverance, she is now not only a starter, but she barely ever comes off the court! Kelsi is such a natural athlete, that defense seems to come so easy to her. Every day she works on becoming more and more consistent on the offensive end of the court. She is on her way to being a very key role in the FHS basketball program. Keep up the great work, Kelsi!

The entrance to the community room is on the back (northwest) side of the hospital; by the back parking lot. Don’t forget to wear your name tags and to bring a friend to the meeting. The speaker this month will be Ellen Oliver Smith, Ph.D. She will be giving a presentation entitled: “The Youngest Nurse at Annapolis: Settling In, Politics and Thanksgivingâ€? This lecture will be about Helen Marie (Nellie) Noye who was typical of the women who served as nurses for the wounded of the Civil War. These women were inordinately committed to their duties and were excited to be of assistance to the “poor boysâ€? for which they cared. In August, 1863, Buffalo (NY) native Helen Noye was ready to assume volunteer nursing duties without pay at the Naval Academy Hospital (Annapolis General Hospital No. 1). As she settled in, Nellie began writing home to tell her family of her life as a nurse. The transcripts of her correspondence chronicle her day-to-day experiences caring for her patients, provides detailed descriptions of social calls, sight-seeing, and boating excursions on Chesapeake Bay.

BOO BIRDS‌ and Persistent Squirrels Column by Tom Breningstall We like watching birds at the bird feeder. Each type seems to have its own set of rules that they feed by. Boo birds are VSHFLDO ELUGV ,ÂśOO JHW EDFN WR WKHP LQ D PLQXWH EXW ÂżUVW D OLWWOH background on the bird feeder and squirrels. I feed the birds in two places: one feeder is covered and stands on a PVC post, the other feeder is on the corner of the deck. Squirrels seem to also like bird feed and, for that reason, I have the two stations. The feeder on the deck is for the birds and squirrels to share the bounty. This one gets the mixed seeds and an ear of corn stuck up right on a nail. The ear of corn is for the blue jays and squirrels to share, while the smaller birds eat the mixed seeds. You would think that the ear of corn would be enough for the squirrels to enjoy, but “noâ€? they also gobble up as much of the bird feed as they can. The squirrels will sometimes let birds feed with them, but not often. The covered feeder is on a free standing four-inch PVC SRVW WKDW VWDQGV ÂżYH IHHW KLJK , SXW WKH IHHGHU RQ WRS RI WKH pipe to stop the squirrels from climbing up and eating the ELUG IHHG $W ÂżUVW LW ZDV IXQ ZDWFKLQJ WKH VTXLUUHOV WU\LQJ WR climb the hard and slippery pole. They would start from the bottom and slide back down, or they would jump up as high as they could, wrap their legs around the pipe and just slide back down to the ground. I thought I had stopped the squirrels from ever eating at this feeder, limiting them to the corn that I put out for them on the deck. However, a few days later I saw a squirrel munching down the seeds from the covered feeder. I was stunned. “How could that squirrel climb the PVC pipe?â€? I wondered. As the ensuing days went by, I kept an eye on that feeder. Finally, I saw the little varmint getting into the feeder, not by climbing the PVC pipe, but from a maple tree a good eight feet away. I watched this squirrel run back and forth on the ground between the maple tree and the PVC pipe. It would look up at the tree and then run to the PVC pipe and look up at the pipe. The squirrel did this a few times and then it would climb the tree and judge the distance between the tree and the bird feeder. I could see the squirrel making calculations in its head for

distance and height needed to climb the maple tree and jump to the feeder. Having apparently done this, the critter jumped and from the side of the tree, covering the distance, and landed on the top of the feeder. It promptly swung down and EHJDQ IHDVWLQJ RQ WKH VHHGV ÂżOOLQJ LWV HPSW\ VWRPDFK :KHQ the feed was eaten the squirrel just jumped to the ground. The squirrel stopped, turned around, and looked to me (as it ZDV VD\LQJ Âł7KDQNV VHH \RX WRPRUURZ DQG WKHQ ZLWK D Ă€LS of his tail it ran off. After that episode, I no longer try to keep the squirrels off the bird feeder. They have earned my respect for their abilities to overcome an adversity. Now back to the boo birds that I had told you about before I rambled on about the squirrels. In the winter, we get doves, sparrows and blue jays mostly, but others birds seem to enjoy eating here, too, including cardinals, red headed woodpeckers, and chickadees. The doves come to the feeder in pairs, the blue jays one at a time, but sparrows arrive in a Ă€RFN RI ELUGV RU PRUH DQG WKH\ Ă€\ RII LQ D Ă€RFN MXVW DV LI WKH\ KDYH RQH PLQG $V VSDUURZV Ă€\ LQ D Ă€RFN WKH\ all turn right or left, go up or down together. It must be some kind of bird telepathic communication Boo has two meanings. One is to show disapproval, like a bad performance at a show or a sporting event. The second meaning of BOO is to surprise or startle somebody. In the bird world that somebody is other birds. Sometimes the BOO bird is a blue jay or even a dove, but mostly the BOO bird is just one of the smarter sparrows.

Solid industrial base will help area economy grow, says Dillingham By Steve Horton A solid industrial base in Western Livingston County and neighboring Webberville will help the area economy grow. That was the message that Fred Dillingham, co-owner of Livingston Business Development Associates, brought to last Tuesday’s meeting of the Fowlerville Business Association. The title of his address was “Economic Excitement in Western Livingston County.â€? Dillingham’s company serves as an economic development consultant for the Village of Fowlerville, working with the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to improve the downtown business district and with the Local Development Financing Authority (LDFA) which oversees the development of the two industrial parks. His Âżrm is also the economic

development consultant for Handy Township, Howell Township, and the Village of Webberville as well as several area companies. “What’s happened over the last several years is that the thinly-Âżnanced (industrial) companies struggled, with some going out of business,â€? Dillingham noted. “But at the same time several of the more solid companies in our area have been making investments and creating additional jobs.â€? He mentioned the former Ogihara America Corporation facility (now owned by Thai Summit) in the City of Howell, the Magna Atreum plant in Howell Township (which suffered a major Âżre four years ago), and the Ventra Fowlerville facility on West Grand River in the Village as companies that not only weathered the economic downturn, but have expanded their operations and work force. “All of this has been occurring here in Western Livingston County, with companies adding capacity and employees, at a time when all we heard about was the slow economy,â€? Dillingham said. He noted that one casualty was the May SchoÂżeld Company on East Van River Road in Fowlerville. “However, the empty building was soon Âżlled by J America. This company² which already has a facility in Webberville--expanded its operations, and we now have an additional 60 employees working in the Fowlerville plant. MS Precision Components moved from its Fowlerville location to a vacant building in the Webberville Industrial Park. There was some local concern, but the company found the perfect amount of space for its operations. With their move from Fowlerville, we were able to expand two businesses into this available space²Hatch Stamping Company and JNB Machining Company. “The key here is that, while these companies have moved, they’re still located in Western Livingston County and Webberville,â€? Dillingham said. “That’s a signiÂżcant number of (industrial) jobs in this area.â€? He noted that, as the available buildings are occupied, new investments are made to either expand capacity or to accommodate a new company coming to the area. “Last Friday (Jan. 30) Vermeer Midwest (which sells excavation and landscaping equipment) opened its new facility on Garden Lane,â€? he said. “This was a $4 million investment in our community.â€? He also talked about the auto testing facility located in southeast Handy Township²FT Techno of America. “This is the North American test facility for Toyota,â€? he pointed out. “It’s also used by other major automotive organizations. This is a 1,000-acre facility in our community. Since its start, close to $100 million has been invested. Just this December, the Handy Township Board approved a tax abatement for another planned expansion of the facility. The good news is that the earlier abatements (granted for 12-year maximum periods of time) are scheduled to expire which will generate more local tax revenue.â€? Dillingham noted that Handy Township is also in the process of seeing a 200 plus-acre industrial park created at West Grand River & Nicholson Road, the only new park (he added) between Novi and Grand Rapids. The company--Green Grid, LLC²is in the process of purchasing the property for $3.2 million on a land contract with a one-year balloon. It is expected to present a site plan to the Handy Township Planning Commission in the near future. The owners have indicated to local ofÂżcials their intent to construct a facility that would process by-products from used rubber and plastic materials. This facility, to be located on the south end of the property next to the rail line, would use between 16 and 26 acres. The owners would develop the rest of the park, selling sites to other companies.

All of this expansion, besides adding area jobs and increasing the tax base, eventually “spills over,â€? said Dillingham. “As the area economy improves, the demand for services grows which helps small businesses,â€? he pointed out. “Also, people want to live in an area that offers good jobs and a quality of life. This translates into new homes.â€? Dillingham’s company, as a consultant to the Fowlerville DDA, said that one concern among many here (at the FBA meeting) is: When does the downtown rejuvenate? “The good news is that we’ve seen more interest generated by people looking at opening a business in the downtown during the last four-to-Âżve months than we’ve seen in the last Âżve years,â€? he said. “Part of this interest is that the property values have re-adjusted due to the economic downturn, making it more affordable for new investment. But also, as the economy has begun to stabilize, there’s a growth in demand for new (business) services.â€? An important asset in this area, he told the audience, is the “collaborative approachâ€? between the community and business. “In my 30 years of involvement with economic development, one thing I’ve learned is that it doesn’t occur in a vacuum,â€? he pointed out. “It has to include an involvement by the community²local government, schools, and other community entities.â€? He said that the DDA and LDFA have worked to create this collaborative approach in their respective efforts to attract new business and industry to the community, and assist existing small businesses and manufacturers in their operations. “Recently, the DDA formed a Strategic Planning Committee,â€? Dillingham said. “The goal has been to bring together all of the relevant organizations²the village, township, school, Rotary, FBA, churches, manufacturers, and small businesses²and start generating ideas for promoting and improving our community. We’re starting to see magic in that effort. This is the Âżrst time we’ve gotten all of the different entities together. I can’t tell you how important this cooperative effort is, and the future success it will generate.â€?

Gregory in the 1930s comes alive in On the Drop Side of Yonder In a rare look at a small Michigan town three-quarters of a century ago, the late Jacqueline Brunais (nee Breniser) recalls sneaking into the train depot to tap out Morse code and waking up after Halloween to see what giant farm machinery the bad boys of Gregory had hoisted to the top of the school as a prank. Jacqueline was young enough to see horse-drawn carriages heading for town and, later, old enough to experience the deYastation of towns like 3lainÂżeld, 3inckney, Howell and Stockbridge when farm boys were sent away to World War II. She sneaked a smoke with her girlfriends in a former pig sty while masquerading as a Hollywood screen star. She avidly read every book Miss Jogensen brought back from the county seat to the three-room Gregory schoolhouse. “Her memories of Gregory and her childhood are delightful! I thought she was the most talented writer in our group because of her impish perspective and wonderful sense of humor,â€? said Nancy Henk of Write Focus Jacqueline Brunais was born in Gregory in 1927. Her new book ON THE DROP SIDE OF YONDER (Jan. 5, 2015; 978-1505754028; $5.95) harks back to her childhood years as the sensitive, shy daughter in a family that included her boisterous brother, Elwin, and older sister, Arlene, who often got into rows with their mother. Her early memories included the sight of the dirty, despairing men – the hobos and tramps of the Great Depression – who would come door to door, begging for a meal. But many of the memories are more lighthearted, such as her brother’s boyhood vow to one day become the owner of Central Mountain and the local men swapping stories in her father’s auto repair shop. She was proud to hail from a small town where, when the Ku Klux Klan tried to stir up trouble, the men of Gregory banded together to send them packing. The book includes treasures such as excerpts from Jackie’s teenage diary, remembrances of her Gregory schoolteachers, a clever poem dedicated to her high school Latin teacher in Ann Arbor, and a headline recounting a school softball game: “Hamburg Devoured by Gregory Nine.â€? Questions for discussion make the book valuable to those who might wish to adopt it in a reading group. Jacqueline Brunais died in November 2014. Her essays were written during the last 20 years of her life as a member of Write Focus, the Clinton Township-area writers group she helped to found. The book is available at Amazon.com in print and for Kindle. More information can be found on the Facebook page OntheDropSideofYonder.

Balloons Over the Ville donate money to three area charities

The Balloons of the Ville has become a popular addition to the Fowlerville Christmas in the Ville celebration held in early December. To help attract participants to the event and thank them for their presence, the Fowlerville Business Association (FBA) designates $1,000 in its budget as pri]e money for the various in Ă€ight contests that are held, weather permitting. If the pilots are unable to launch the balloons due to inclement conditions, then the group decides how to spend the money. This year the balloonists decided to donate the money to three area charities. The FBA board, in turn, added another $500 from left-over funds. At last Tuesday night’s FBA meeting, held at Woodshire Place, representatives from the Family Impact Center, the Genesis House, and The Torch were given $500 apiece. Ken Myer and Patt Hansen, who help organize the Balloons Over the Ville event and are on the Christmas in the Ville Committee, talked about the “generousâ€? donation by the pilots and then introduced the representatives. Barb Dine from the Family Impact Center, Laura Southwell and Donna Coleman from Genesis House, and Sarah Ruddle and Rhonda Callanan took turns giving a brief summary of what their organizations do. The Family Impact Center, located in Fowlerville, operates a food pantry and offers various counseling services and classes. The Genesis House is also located in Fowlerville and assists those with mental health challenges to better integrate into community activities and to obtain employment. The Torch, started in 2012, operates a food truck, serving meals at various locations around the area. Myer and Hansen noted that 36 balloonists took part in the Fowlerville event this past December. They came from all over Michigan as well as Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. “That’s a great number when you realize there are less than 75 active balloonists in Michigan,â€? said Patt Hansen.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Livingston County hosted their 1st Annual Dream Big Breakfast, a Celebration and Award Ceremony on January 30, 2015. Among those receiving recognition was Pete Wedesky, the elementary counselor for the Fowlerville Community Schools, who received the Outstanding School Partner Award for his work with the Big Futures program at Kreeger Elementary. From November through March, “Bigs and “Littlesâ€? meet at Kreeger Elementary School once a week for an hour. The high school mentors and their assigned Little Brother or Little Sister work on homework and play board games which teaches cooperation, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Big Brothers Big Sisters Case Manager, Beth Beaudoin is there to supervise the mentoring sessions, along with Counselor Pete Wedesky. The program could not have had the number of mentored matches and success it did without the support and presence of Mr. Wedesky who has volunteered his time with this program for the past 10 years. “This has been a very rewarding experience for me, especially when I have had the opportunity to see students who have been Littles in the program, come back when they are older to help by becoming another student’s mentor,â€? Wedesky stated. At Kreeger Elementary this school year, 60 youth participate: 30 Bigs (high school students and 30 Littles (Kreeger kids). “Without Mr. Wedesky helping with supervision and the support of Kreeger Principal Jason Miller, Big Futures would not be a possibility in Fowlerville,â€? said agency Executive Director, Shari Davis-Schoech. Asahi Kasei Plastics, located in Fowlerville, was also honored at the event. Not only were they a breakfast sponsor, the company Âżnancially supported the Big Futures program this year. “We are very blessed to have the amazing support of Asahi Kasei,â€? said Davis-Schoech. “Because of their support, and the support of Fowlerville School District and their staff members, Big Futures was able to continue at Kreeger.â€? For more information about the Big Futures program or other mentoring opportunities in Livingston County, call Big Brothers Big Sisters at 517-546-1140.

Property taxes are delinquent as of February 14, 2015 and a 3% penalty applies. After February 16th 2015, you may pay your delinquent winter and delinquent overdue summer property taxes with separate checks at Handy Township ONLY.

Senior Spotlight-- Chelsey Lorenz

By Sara Bruce Chelsey Marilyn Lorenz, currently a senior, has been attending Webberville High Schools since 2005. She is the daughter of Jennifer Garcia and Michael Lorenz, At 17 years old, Lorenz is the eldest child, Vincent being the younger child at 16 and a junior at Webberville. While at Webberville, Lorenz has created a name for herself; staying involved with science as well as musical and visual arts, along with maintaining a 3.1 cumulative GPA. Lorenz has many fond memories throughout the years, “Best memories? One would have to be being Tigger in our school musical,â€? said Lorenz. “It felt like I was famous when the little kids were pulling on my tail and seeing how excited they got when they saw me walk onto the stage made me so happy. “ Lorenz has made her mark in many subject areas. “Webberville won’t be the same without Chelsey. Most of all, I’ll miss her wit,â€? said English Teacher Katie Pingle. “I really enjoyed watching Chelsey become a more creative and competent writer in English class. She’s found her voice in this world, something many never Âżnd.â€? Lorenz will not only be missed by her teachers, but also by her friends that she has made along the long journey. One of her closest friends, fellow senior Elizabeth Clark, said “I’m going to miss her hair and the way she overreacted about the simplest things. Even though she had her moments, Chelsey always made our friendship worth it to me.â€? Throughout her years at Webberville, Lorenz went through many stages in her life, “I don’t have any regrets, since my Âżrst day here,â€? Lorenz says conÂżdently. Upon graduation, Lorenz plans to attend Northern Michigan University for Zoology studies then transferring into another school to obtain her veterinary license. Lorenz hopes to be a veterinarian in the future.

This week birthdays abound of ‘famous’ people. Today – Sunday is Jules Verne’s birthday. Do you remember what popular book he wrote? Monday begins Random Acts of Kindness Week. Let us see how many acts of kindness we can give out to our fellow human beings and pets! Wednesday, the 11th we celebrate Thomas Edison’s birthday and Thursday the 12th is Abraham Lincolns birthday. Here are a few facts about our 16th President of the United States; Lincoln was born in a one-room log cabin on February 12th, 1861 in Hardin County, Kentucky. His family moved to southern Indiana in 1816. Lincoln’s formal schooling was limited to three brief periods in local schools, as he had to work constantly to support his family. In 1830, his family moved again to Macon County in southern Illinois and Lincoln got a job working on a river Ă€atboat hauling freight down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. Lincoln became engaged to Mary Todd Owens in 1840. Mary was from a wealthy slave-holding family in Lexington, Kentucky. They met in SpringÂżeld, Illinois in December 1839 and were engaged the following December. A wedding set for January 1, 1841, was cancelled when the two broke off their engagement at Lincoln’s initiative. (Oh if he only knew then!) They later met again at a party and married November 4, 1842. While preparing for the nuptials and feeling anxiety again, Lincoln, when asked where he was going, replied, “To hell, I suppose.â€? (He should have listened to his heart) The Lincoln’s had four children. Edward died on February 1, 1850 of tuberculosis. “Willieâ€? Lincoln was born on

December 21, 1850 and died of a fever on February 20, 1862. The Lincoln’s fourth son, Thomas “Tadâ€? Lincoln, was born on April 4, 1853 and died of heart failure at the age of 18 on July 16, 1871. Robert was the only child to live to adulthood and have children. The deaths of their sons had profound effects on both parents. Later in life, Mary struggled with the stresses of losing her husband and sons, and Robert Lincoln committed her temporarily to a mental health asylum in 1875. Lincoln suffered from “melancholy,â€? a condition which is now referred to as clinical depression! Did you know: The war years were difÂżcult for Abraham Lincoln and his family. After his young son Willie died of typhoid fever in 1862, the emotionally fragile Mary Lincoln, widely unpopular for her frivolity and spendthrift ways, held sĂŠances in the White House in the hopes of communicating with him-earning her even more derision. Till next week: “Life isn’t worth living, unless it is lived for someone else.â€?

In order to motivate them she had the class set a goal, and the students chose 500 cans! Then, she asked them what they wanted from her in return for reaching their goal. Of course she was thinking things like, skip math homework for a night or bring in cupcakes for the class, but “noâ€? they decided they wanted her to dress up like a clown.

Student of the Week: Jessica Holiday Written by: Olivia Roedel This week’s student of the week is senior Jessica Holiday. Jessica is the daughter of Kathleen and has one sibling, Shauna and three half siblings, Jeff, Kevin, and Theresa. Jessica is currently enrolled in AP Biology, AP Calculus, History through Film, College Preparatory English, and Yearbook. Physics was Jessica’s favorite class because she enjoyed learning how the world worked. Mr. Vanhorn was Jessica’s favorite teacher in high school because he does demonstrations, and is very helpful. In the fall, Jessica plans to attend Grand Valley State University to become a pediatrician. If Jessica could change one thing about FHS it would be to provide students additional opportunities to receive help outside of the classroom. Jessica’s favorite part about FHS is the caring staff. If Jessica could give a snippet of advice to underclassmen it would be, “Do not procrastinate and always set aside time to study.” Jessica works at Adidas and is a member of many teams and clubs. These include NHS, and she is a three sport varsity athlete as she plays volleyball, basketball, and soccer. Jessica is a captain of both the basketball and soccer teams. In her spare time, she has time to accumulate a few favorite things such as her favorite movie, She’s the Man, her favorite TV show, The Walking Dead, her favorite books are the Harry Potter series, and her favorite game to play is spoons. Jessica also enjoys playing card games with her family. Jessica was nominated by a variety of her high school teachers. Mrs. Thomas commented, “I have Jessica in class and she is a fantastic student and a great role model for younger students to follow. She always has a great attitude, is friendly to everyone and is a great representative of the student body at FHS.” Mr. Collins stated, “Jessica demonstrates a positive attitude, is a positive role model for her peers, participates actively in class, and performs as a student at a very high level in my class.” Mrs. Hardenbrook commented, “Jessica is one of the hardest working students and athletes that I have ever had. She puts forth a great deal of effort in everything she does.” Jessica’s favorite memory of high school consists of winning many close games in various sporting events with her friends. The one thing that Jessica is looking forward to most is walking through the gym on graduation day and looking back on all of the great memories that she shared with her peers. Congratulations Jessica for being this week’s Student of the Week!

(3) If a child residing in the school district is not 5 years of age on the enrollment eligibility date speci¿ed in subsection (2), but will be 5 years of age not later than December 1 of a school year, the parent or legal guardian of that child may enroll the child in kindergarten for that school year if the parent or legal guardian noti¿es the school district in writing not later than June 1 before the beginning of the school year that he or she intends to enroll the child in kindergarten. A school district that receives this written noti¿cation may make a recommendation to the parent or legal guardian of a child described in this subsection that the child is not ready to enroll in kindergarten due to the child’s age or other factors. However, regardless of this recommendation, the parent or legal guardian retains the sole discretion to determine whether or not to enroll the child in kindergarten under this subsection. *** Science Night is on February 19th from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Smith Elementary.

Answer: You can replace your child’s Social Security card at no cost to you iI it is lost or stolen. You are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during a liIetime. Legal name changes and other exceptions don’t count toward these limits. $lso, you may not Ee aIIected Ey these limits iI you can prove you need the card to prevent a signiÂżcant hardship. The documents you will need to provide will diIIer depending on whether your child is a citizen oI the United States or Ioreign-Eorn citizen. To get a new card, you will need to provide original documents that prove citizenship. No photocopies or digital replications are accepted.

Question: A few months after I started receiving my Social Security retirement beneÂżt, my former employer offered to take me back. It’s a great offer. Can I withdraw my retirement claim and reapply later to increase my beneÂżt amount? Answer: Social Security understands that unexpected changes may occur aIter you Eegin receiving retirement EeneÂżts. II you change your mind, you may Ee aEle to withdraw your Social Security claim and re-apply at a Iuture date. This withdrawal must occur within 12 months oI your original retirement, and you are limited to one withdrawal during your liIetime. Keep in mind, you must repay all oI the EeneÂżts you received.

The average monthly Social Security EeneÂżt Ior a disaEled worker in 2015 is $1,165 (up Irom $1,146 in 2014). As a reminder, eligiEility Ior retirement EeneÂżts still requires 40 credits (usually aEout 10 years oI work). The Social Security Act details how the COLA is calculated. You can read more aEout the COLA at www.socialsecurity.gov/cola. Question: I’m getting ready to start Âżlling out my disability beneÂżts application online, but I’m concerned I will need to stop before I can Âżnish it. Can I stop before completing the application and come back to Âżnish it later? If so, how do I return to my online application to Âżnish it when I have all the information I need? Answer: Applying Ior disaEility is a multi-step process that may take one to two hours to complete, depending on your situation. You can save your application as you go.

MEDC supports growth of tech companies, entrepreneurs in Michigan

Livingston County Utility Task Force seeks to assist families with high bills

Tech entrepreneurs are on the rise in Michigan and playing an increasingly prominent role in Michigan’s economy, with the number of tech start-up companies in Michigan more than tripling over the past four years, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced today. “No other state does what Michigan does to fund an entire entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports innovative early stage companies,â€? said MEDC Vice President of Entrepreneurial Services and Innovation Paula Sorrell. “From university translational research to high-tech incubators, business advisory support, pre-seed funding programs and venture capital – we are creating a dynamic business environment to support entrepreneurs and encourage investment into economic growth sectors, including life sciences, information technology, and advanced manufacturing.â€? According to the 2014 Metrics Report released by MEDC’s 2fÂżce of Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Venture Capital (EIVC), 248 new tech companies were created in Michigan last year. An average of 240 new tech companies have been created each of the last three years with an average of 1,100 new tech jobs each year. Also in 2014, private investment in new tech companies in Michigan last year was $710 million. This means that for every dollar the Michigan Strategic Fund spent on tech entrepreneurship last year, small tech companies raised $35 from the private sector and federal contracts. In addition, Michigan’s venture capital community has shown signiÂżcant growth during the last Âżve years. The number of venture capital Âżrms in Michigan increased to 35 Âżrms during that time. There has been nearly a doubling in the number of venture capital professionals in Michigan, compared to a net 13 percent decrease nationally. “General trends we’re seeing in the ecosystem are that our venture capitalists who are dedicated to Michigan are moving to larger funds or into more senior positions or both. :e’re seeing more investment Âżrms such as Mercury Fund, Detroit Innovate, and Huron River Ventures investing in technologies that are in the industrial, advanced transportation and manufacturing spaces, leveraging Michigan’s traditional assets,â€? Sorrell said. “We’re also seeing traditional investment groups now interested investing in venture capital, and over the past three years we’ve seen the number of early-stage tech companies growing. People are starting to view Michigan as a great place to invest in Michigan tech companies.â€? MEDC’s Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Venture Capital team works to leverage private funds into early stage tech companies like ProNAi Therapeutics, Inc., based at the Michigan Life Science Innovation Center in Plymouth. ProNAi is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing DNA (DNAi) interference technologies for cancer treatments. The company received funds from MEDC through the 21st Century Jobs Fund and support through many other programs run by EIVC. The company recently announced the closing of $59.5 million in Series D Âżnancing that will allow ProNAi to advance its PNT2258 drug candidate in several Phase II clinical studies in patients with various forms of nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. “ProNAi is developing a new class of DANi therapeutics that has demonstrated promising results in lymphoma patients,â€? said ProNAi board member Albert Cha, MD, PhD. “We are excited about the opportunity to move PNT2258 forward and further develop the company’s pipeline.â€? *** For more on the MEDC and its initiatives, visit michiganbusiness.org. For Michigan residents interested in seeking employment with any of Michigan’s growing companies should check mitalent.org, where more than 82,000 jobs are currently available in a variety of industries.

New members of Fowlerville DD$ %oarG taNe ofÂżce last weeN

Four new members of the Fowlerville Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Board were sworn into of¿ce by Village Clerk .athryn Arledge at the group’s Feb. 4 meeting. They are from left, .arl Witt of .W Corporation, Craig Curtis of Curtis Grocery, Ed Alverson, Handy Township supervisor, and Paul Harmon of Harmon Real Estate. Alverson is replacing Hank Vaupel, who was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives and resigned his position as township supervisor. That DDA board term runs until December of 2018. The terms of Curtis, Harmon, and Witt will run until December of 2019. The Fowlerville Village Council recently approved a motion, requested by the DDA board, to expand membership on the board by another three members. The larger group, it was felt, would provide added input and a broader-based representation. The DDA captures property taxes within the DDA District and uses the funds to make improvements, help pay utility and maintenance expenses, and put on or sponsor events.

Caughtcha Doing Something GREAT!

By Dr. Hank Vaupel 47nd District

This week my colleagues and I unveiled the 2015-16 Action Plan, which will act as our guideline over the next two years in the legislature. The plan has a strong focus on ¿lling skilled Mobs, creating a great education system for all Michigan students and expanding on opportunities for everyone in this great state to name a few of the highlights. The Action Plan has six pillars that serve as its foundation. The goals are to: Continue To Foster Job Growth and Strengthen Our Economy; Continue Michigan On A Path To A Brighter Future; Better Prepare Students For Tomorrow; Make Government More Accountable; Get Michigan Moving and Powering Its Future; and To Eliminate Obstacles Created By Government. It is exciting to be a part of Michigan’s continued recovery. We must not sit idle Must because Michigan has surer footing than it did ten years ago. This plan will keep us proactive and on track to bring Michigan to the best level we can. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee and a resident of a district with a large agricultural base, I was happy to see priority for further advancing Michigan’s agriculture industry. I am looking forward to working on policy that enhances agricultural processing, helps develop an agriculturally minded workforce and expands farmers’ market opportunities throughout the state. In addition, as vice chair of Health Policy Committee, I was intrigued by the ideas to improve health care and services in our state. I look forward to working with my colleagues and Michigan residents to create a focus on people and patient needs and ¿nd common-sense solutions that will bene¿t everyone. This is Must the tip of the iceberg of the ideas that will be addressed on this term. Other equally important areas we will be working on are ensuring all Michigan students have the same educational opportunities; ¿nding tax relief where we can especially for families and children; and eliminating waste to allow our state and local governments to be ef¿cient and accountable. The full Action Plan is available on the House GOP website at www.gophouse.org . I encourage you to explore our plan and look forward to hearing your feedback. *** If you have any questions or need assistance with any state issues, please contact me toll free at 866-828-4863 or via e-mail at HankVaupel@house.mi.gov.

Pete Wedesky, an elementary school counselor with the Fowlerville Community Schools, was recently honored as the “Outstanding School Partner” by Big Brothers Big Sister of Livingston County. For the past 10 years Pete has helped organize and oversee the Big Futures Program at Kreeger Elementary. “Each year we invite between 30 and 40 elementary kids (the Littles) and an equal number of high school students (the Bigs) to participate in this program,” he noted. “The high schoolers serve as mentors to the younger students.” The group meets at Kreeger each Thursday for an hour-and-a-half, with Wedesky and a case worker from Big Brothers Big Sisters present. Tutoring, along with gym games and board games, take place during that time period. The program runs from November through March. “One of the neat things is that this program has been around long enough, that kids who were in it as Kreeger students are volunteering to be high school mentors,” said Wedesky. “They tell me how much this meant to them when they were younger.” Wedesky received his award at the 1st Annual Dream Big Breakfast & Award Ceremony, hosted by the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization in Howell on Jan. 30. Wedesky likes this program so much that he started a similar mentoring program involving Smith Elementary and Junior High School students. “We call it ‘Shining Stars’ and it runs for eight weeks in January and February,” he said. Pete splits his school day between the two elementary buildings. He has been at the local school district for 23 years. “Fowlerville has had a counselor at the elementary level for around 35 years,” he pointed out. “That commitment in providing this service to young students and their families is huge.” Pete interacts in some fashion with nearly all of the students, but a main part of his job is focusing on students facing various challenges. “I meet with kids and try to help them get through the tough stuff, but I also try to encourage them to take advantage of the wonderful education that’s being offered here.” He sees the ‘Big Futures’ and ‘Shining Starts’ mentoring programs as a means to accomplish this dual goal, with the added bonus of involving older students in the effort. Pete grew up on the west side of Detroit and attended Dearborn Devine School from grade school until graduation from high school in 1973. He attended the University of Cincinnati, earning a bachelor of science degree in education in 1978. “I then taught junior high math for eight years in the Detroit Public Schools,” he noted. “I then decided to become a counselor, and earned a masters degree at Eastern Michigan University in 1993.” He worked for several private agencies after that, including Brighton

He and his wife, Marsha, have been married for 33 years. They have a son, Trevor, who is in the U.S. Marine Corps, and a daughter, Lea, who is a math teacher. They also have three grandchildren. “There have been five generations of teachers in our family,” Pete noted. “I enjoy working with young students,” he said. “They are so open at this age, giving and receiving.
