Three Oaks Village Council members contemplate new recycling option

R

BY THERESE DONNELLY

ecycling service in the Village of Three Oaks is set to change.

During the Three Oaks Village Council’s Wednesday, Feb. 13, meeting, Three Oaks Village President David Grosse announced that the current arrangement is about to end.

Three Oaks Township provided recycling through a grant from The Pokagon Fund, but changes to how grants are awarded mean that funding will not be available in the next grant cycle. Grosse said the village has money set aside to fund the recycling until April. The council is looking into options for a contract with Lakeshore Recycling and Waste Management after that.

Costs are expected to be about $35 a year per household.

Most council members said they believed enough residents participated in the recycling program to merit a program. It was not immediately clear just how many households use the recycling. Village of Three Oaks Manager Mike Greene said Lakeshore likely recorded overall tonnage of collected material instead of the number of households.

The cost may be put onto water bills, which are expected to rise soon due to costs associated with planned upgrades to the village’s waste water treatment system.

Grosse said the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) had given some initial feedback on the proposed Industrial Pretreatment Plan.

He said the DEQ seemed unwilling to allow the village to put off the project for a few years.

Council member John Pappa said he felt recent meetings between councilmembers and representatives from Journeyman Distillery “seemed constructive.” He said the next round of meetings will hopefully result in a solution that “benefits everybody.” Pappa added after the discussions and a tour of the distillery he believed the distillery had gotten permission from village employees to put equipment on the sewage easement.

The council approved the selection of two streets for this year’s street project. Milling and repaving work will go out for bid.

The council reviewed an invoice from Smith and Sons for repair work on a water main damaged during a construction project in 2018. The contractors had requested water lines be marked prior to their digging but apparently struck a line that was not noted. Infrastructure Alternatives Inc. (IAI) has been contracted to manage the village’s water system and was in charge of marking the requested lines.

Pappa, who is part of the Bridgman water department, said line marks are allowed to be up to three feet off the actual line. He also said an experienced contractor should recognize where water lines are based on valves. Council member John Kramer added he felt responsibility was split between IAI and the contractors. The village did pay for repair parts.

During their September 2018 meeting, councilmembers denied a request for payment. Greene brought the issue back up at the most recent meeting, telling the council more information had been made available; however, the council felt there was not enough new information to change their decision.

Pappa asked how long the contractor waited to dig after making the request for marks, while Grosse said he wanted to know more about what IAI said regarding the matter.

The council decided to table the issue until March to see if more information can be provided.

Chikaming Township to re-apply for state grant to potentially expand Cherry Beach

fter learning late last year that the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) Trust Fund will not fund the effort to potentially expand the township’s public beach frontage, members of the Chikaming Township Board of Trustees approved giving it another go at their Thursday, Feb. 14, meeting.

The township applied last April for a MDNR Trust Fund grant in the amount of $3.3 million to potentially acquire the three-acre, undeveloped Beidler Trust property, which has been listed for an asking price of $4.65 million, that is adjacent to Cherry Beach. The Cherry Beach Committee raised $1.2 million in financial pledges, which went toward the grant’s required 3 percent (or $1.1 million) match. The grant would cover 75 percent of the Cherry Beach Project’s estimated cost, which is $4.4 million.

Due to a smaller funding pool, township supervisor David Bunte said that the MDNR Trust Fund was not able to award the grant to the township; however, at the Feb. 14 meeting, board members decided to reapply for the grant.

Township supervisor David Bunte explained that the township would raise 40 percent of the match this year. The seller, Reed Beidler, has agreed to pledge $150,000 toward the matching funds. Board members approved pledging an additional $75,000, which would increase its pledge amount to $250,000 (the township has already pledged $175,000).

Committee members Sue Phalen and Peg McTig would be looking into renewing the pledges and funding that was raised last year to go toward the matching funds. Another public hearing would also be held before the township applied for the grant.

According to a Cherry Beach Committee email, the township would still need to raise $225,000 in addition to the renewed pledges and above funding help by Sept. 30. Fundraising will begin this spring.

Bunte said that the township increasing its matching funds may increase its score. Grants are awarded largely on a scoring system based on the submitted application.

Also at the meeting, board members tabled

BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

making a motion on teleconferencing at Park Board meetings.

The option would allow members who travel to warmer destinations in the winter months to participate in meetings from a distance.

Township attorney Charles Hilmer added that teleconferencing is not officially allowed under the Open Meetings Act, although some townships do allow it and an amendment was made to the Act in the Michigan Legislature to allow for military members to participate via teleconferencing, a policy that will go into effect this March.

The Michigan Township Association (MTA) handbook also doesn’t have any policy in place.

Township treasurer Liz Rettig added that at the MTA conference last year, it was made clear that there is no law in place regarding the option.

Bunte said a township wide policy would need to be made, which would require more research.

While he recognized that today’s technology was pushing them “in that direction, questions needed to be addressed, such as if a notice would need to be posted at the location from which the board member was teleconferencing and if the board member would not be distracted with other pursuits throughout the meeting.

Board trustee Rich Sullivan said that it wasn’t up to the township to accommodate someone who had agreed to run for a board and knew of the meeting dates beforehand.

“I think something has to be said for commitment that i expect from someone... I chose to run as a trustee, and by my choosing to run (as a trustee), I’m making a commitment to be at meetings,” he said.

Board members approved a request from Chikaming Township Police Chief Todd Taylor to pursue the township’s police department becoming accredited and for the township to fund the process in the amount of $1200.

Taylor explained that the accreditation process would involve proving that the department’s current policies and procedures lived up to the state’s policy standards.

Also in police department news, Taylor gave board members his 2018 police report.

Taylor said that 46 index crimes crime (which include robbery, burglary, and larceny) were reported in 2018, which were down from the previous year. Larceny was the most reported index crime, he said. There were 210 non-index crimes (such as domestic violence) that were reported in 2018.

Taylor added that the police staff handled 75 suspicious situations in 2018; handled approximately 286 alarms, all of which were false; stopped 1,059 cars within the township; issued 969 verbal warnings; issued 252 tickets; and arrested 196 people for various offenses.

Taylor added that there were 166 car crashes in 2018, mainly on the expressway.

The department’s officers put in 244.5 hours on beach patrol last year. Taylor said that township reserve officers worked 596 volunteer hours.

In addition to the Lunch Buddy program at the elementary school and the Truancy Program at the high school, Holtz had served as the 2018 community resources officer and had a substation in the high school. Currently, River Valley School Board members were discussing having a school resource officer (SRO).

Board member approved the promotion of Brandon Jones from officer to sergeant.

Taylor awarded officer Paige Holtz a certificate for being Officer of the Year as well as Greg Nelson for being Reserve Officer of the Year.

Board members approved a tasting room permit for Transient Artisan Ales for its new 12,000 square foot property at 15936 Red Arrow Highway in Union Pier.

Board members adopted the annual policy for the township’s Property Tax Exemption and the Poverty Exemption.

Board members approved the 2019 Internal Revenue Service mileage rate of .58, or 58 cents per mile.

Board members approved increasing the 2018-19 Road Maintenance Fund to $135,000 to include the costs from Harbert Road improvements.

The degree of one’s emotions varies inversely with one’s knowledge of the facts.

Short-term rentals discussed at New Buffalo Township Board meeting

T 1 N. Whittaker Street Suite A New Buffalo, MI 49117

BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

he legality of short-term rentals in R-1 zoning districts was briefly discussed at the rescheduled Tuesday, Feb. 19, New Buffalo Township Board meeting.

Resident Dave Stumm said that, according to his research, shortterm rentals are defined by law as less than 30 days. Anything over 30 days would make it a business, which isn’t allowed in R-1 districts.

Stumm said he’d discovered that there are currently 34 listings for shortterm rentals in R-1 zoning districts within the township. He asked if the township would ever consider hiring a zoning inspector who would be able to determine if a location is in violation and then identifying the owner and writing them a letter stating their violation.

Stumm added that he wasn’t certain what the township’s zoning ordinance stated with regards to short-term rentals.

New Buffalo Township Supervisor Michelle Heit said that the township board would be addressing the issue shortly. She planned on looking at the township’s zoning ordinance and consulting with the township attorney.

New Buffalo Township Clerk Judy Zabicki added that the board had been waiting for the state to step in before taking any action. While other townships have addressed the issue, she said New Buffalo Township Board members have “opted to wait.”

Stumm questioned if the township has liability in the event that someone was hurt or injured due to the actions of an illegal business operating within the township. Zabicki said the township would need to get an ordinance together, which could address that issue.

Also at the meeting, board members approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Chikaming Township Park Board and the New Buffalo Township Parks Department.

The MOU states that it lays out “in writing the informal agreement that exists between New Buffalo Township and Chikaming Township concerning the maintenance of Townline Beach” as well as to “provide additional guidance for issues that may arise in administering the beach.” The public beach is located on both sides of the township lines (one side of the road (and roadend beach) is New Buffalo Township, the other is Chikaming Township). The MOU also confirms that both Chikaming Township and New Buffalo Township must agree upon maintenance and improvements at the beach before expenses are incurred. In the event of an emergency that would require “immediate action” as well as expenses, either township may take action and “request reimbursement from the other party after the fact.”

The payment of $84,895 to Payjay Inc. as the seventh payment to the Michigan Shores Water Project was approved.

Board members also approved the Michigan Shores Water Project’s fifth change order.

The change order was for a request from the subcontractor who did the boring underneath the Amtrak railroad. Ashley Brendel, Wightman & Associates’ civil engineer, explained that originally, part of the amount of the change order was included in the first change order and was just an estimate.

A recent invoice from the subcontractor stated that the amount is now $2,325, which is what is in the fifth change order.

With regards to the project, she said approximately 40 services still need to be installed in the hills. All the main work has been completed and everyone in the lower neighborhood has service, including having hydrants in place.

Restoration work, such as putting back the pavement and planting grass, will be completed when the weather got warmer.

Board members approved 2018-19 budget amendments.

In her report, Lt. Julie Flick from the Berrien County Sheriff’s Office reminded everyone about Michigan’s new “Move Over Law,” which went into effect Feb. 13. Drivers are now required to slow down to 10 miles per hour less than the speed limit and move over a full lane if possible if they see not only an emergency vehicle but also a utility vehicle, such as a tow trucks or garbage truck or anything with flashing yellow or blue lights on the roadway.

The hiring of Dan Mandalis as fire inspector was tabled until the March meeting. Heit explained that details regarding the training costs and who was going to pay them needed to be worked out first.

Join the Michigan Maritime Museum crew at training classes

The Michigan Maritime Museum in South Haven, Michigan, has announced the 2019 dates for Basic Seamanship Training for its tall ship, “Friends Good Will.”

The training session for those who have a desire to act as volunteer crew aboard “Friends Good Will” will learn seamanship skills, line handling, and knot tying.

Built for and by the Michigan Maritime Museum in 2004, “Friends Good Will” is a replica of an 1810 merchant ship that plied the Great Lakes in the early years of Great Lakes shipping. She was captured by the British at Mackinaw Island during the War of 1812 and served under the British flag until she was re-captured by the United States Navy when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry defeated the British at the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813.

History is kept alive through educational programs as well as public sails at the Museum. Guests can enjoy a step back in time, as the Museum has preserved Michigan’s maritime heritage through traditional sailing and historical interpretation.

“Keeping our maritime heritage alive aboard “Friends Good Will” is one of life’s most satisfying experiences. Seeing the smiles and excitement on the faces of our guests is the grandest of rewards,” Captain Bob Harnish, commander of the fleet for the Museum, said in a recent press release.

New Ship’s Company crew work alongside trained staff and seasoned volunteer crew members. With the ship sailing up to four trips each day, seven days a week, visitors will have ample opportunity to sign up to crew as much as they desire, be it one or two sails a week or one or two days per week on multiple sails.

The dates for Basic Seamanship Training are April 27-28 and May 18-19. Training consists of both classroom and on-water training.

Participants must complete both weekends of training to be considered for crew. Minimum age requirement is 16 years of age. The course is free to the participants.

Museum membership is required. To register, contact captain@mimaritime. org or call 269-637-8078.

The Michigan Maritime Museum is located at 260 Dyckman Ave. South Haven, Michigan. For more information, visit www. michiganmaritimemuseum.org.

From the Bleachers COLUMN BY KURT MARGGRAF IN CHICAGO

M

y parents must have given me a ball at a very early age. I grew up loving all sports, but my favorite has always been baseball. Growing up on the south side of Chicago, I was a fan of both teams, for awhile. Then my dad, and my grandpa, both convinced me to root for the underdogs and my friends would always want to pretend they were White Sox players when we would play ball at the park, so it was a no-brainer for me to become a Cub fan. I would spend countless hours throwing a rubber ball into a square I drew on the garage doors of Roneys ice cream factory, all the while pretending to be Cub pitchers Warren Hacker or Dick Ellsworth.

After years of playing unorganized ball, I joined the little league. My team had a lot of success, winning the league championship. Personally, the hours of play paid off, and I had tremendous success, pitching my team to victory. Unfortunately, I peaked at the age of twelve, but my love of baseball remained. Whenever I was near a television, I would watch the Cubs, listening to Jack Brickhouse and watching Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, and Billy Williams. When I couldn’t be near a television, I would listen to Jack Quinlan on the radio. Even though the team wasn’t very good, the players made it fun to watch. A little later, the White Sox made a terrible decision and put their games on pay television, costing the team a generation of young fans that, to this day, hamper the teams attendance.

Last week, the Cubs announced that they had struck a deal with Sinclair Broadcasting. The deal is for all Cub games that are not nationally televised, meaning that unless I decide to get back into cable television ( I’m a cord cutter ) and pony up the extra five or ten bucks on top of the cable bill, I will only be able to see my team ten or fifteen times. I read a story written by a lifelong Cub fan who said he was switching allegiance and becoming a Sox fan. While I won’t go that far, I can’t say it hasn’t crossed my mind.

My favorite team, the perennial underdogs, are no longer lovable losers.

They are now involved in local and national politics. They are continuing to employ Addison Russell, even though he is in the middle of a suspension for past transgressions. They failed to give their World Series winning manager a contract extension. While the other teams in their division are greatly improved, the Cubs decided to be fiscally responsible this off season, and basically stand pat. Finally, they announce gleefully that after more than sixty years of being able to watch their games for free, we would now have to pay for them. Next season, when this plan goes into effect, I think I will just read about the Cubs, or maybe listen to them on the radio. I only hope this doesn’t backfire on them like it did on the Whits Sox many years ago.

“Why does it take a minute to say hello, and forever to say goodbye?”

- Unknown. Be kind to one another. Keep smiling. Talk to you next week.

Peace, love, and happiness.

BISON LOSE TO BRIDGMAN DURING HOME GAME

T

he New Buffalo High School Bison boys basketball team lost to Bridgman High School with a score of 44-34 during a home game Saturday, Feb. 17.

The loss followed an impressive trouncing the night before from the Bison on the road against Lake Michigan Catholic (LMC).

New Buffalo trailed Bridgman 21-10 at halftime and stayed within striking distance during the final two quarters but couldn’t mount a strong enough attack on offense against the larger players from Bridgman.

Tucker Morse, a junior, led the Bison attack with 15 points all coming from beyond the three-point arc.

Freshman Kaden Parmley contributed nine points for the Bison, who lost to Bridgman 50-35 earlier in the season.

Senior Ben O’Donnell and sophomore Brennan Grott added four points apiece for the Bison.

New Buffalo Friday night defeated LMC 73-39.

The Bison, who were leading 33-22 at halftime, put the game out of reach by outscoring the Lakers 21-3 in the third quarter.

Parmley led the Bison attack with 22 points followed by Morse with 21 points.

Stephen Margaritis, a sophomore, added seven points for the Bison.

Senior Colin Bendiner and Grott contributed six points apiece for New Buffalo, which is now 9-7 on the season. — STAN MADDUX

LaLumiere now 28-0

BY STAN MADDUX

aLumiere still ranked the best high school basketball team in the nation by USA Today improved to 28-0 with a convincing victory Monday night during senior night at home.

The final score was 70-43 against Planet Athlete Academy out of Chandler, Arizona before a packed house.

The Lakers started the second quarter leading by just three-points.

Jakov Kukic, a senior center from Croatia, helped extend the lead to 11-points at halftime with six quick points from the paint, including a slam dunk, to start the second quarter.

A combination of sloppy play and tough defense from both squads marked the third quarter but a 15 point lead to start the final period quickly increased to 25-points with help from alley oop slam dunks by seniors Keion Brooks, Jr. and Isaiah Stewart.

Brooks and Stewart led the Laker attack with 14 points apiece while senior Paxton Wojcik contributed 12-points and Kukic added 11-points.

Stewart, who recently committed to play for the University of Washington, also recorded 7 rebounds and 4 blocked shots.

It was also announced after the third period that Stewart was selected for the McDonalds All-American basketball team which plays March 27 in Atlanta.

LaLumiere expects to be among the eight teams invited to the Geico National Championship single elimination tournament April 4-6 in New York City, The Lakers won the tournament when it was sponsored by Dick’s Sporting Goods during the 2016-17 season.

New Buffalo Middle School wrestlers own the mat during ‘Mustang Stampede’

E

BY STAN MADDUX

ven though wrestling is still a relatively new school sport in New Buffalo, the middle school team competed more like veterans on the mat during a Saturday, Feb. 16, tourney.

The Bison wrestlers placed 10th out of 16 teams in the “Mustang Stampede” at River Valley High School.

Having just nine of 15 weight classes filled, head coach Scott Deutscher said his squad was the third smallest out of all of the teams; however, at the competition, eight of his wrestlers brought home first, second and third place finishes.

None of his players had ever taken part in competitive wrestling until this season.

“I got a good group of kids and they pay attention during practices and they want to learn,’’ Deutscher said.

Trent Taylor took first place in the 103 pound weight class.

Brader Huffer finished first in the 135 pound division.

Deutscher was a wrestler from third grade until he graduated from Michigan City High School in 2008. This is his first year of coaching.

Deutscher said wrestling lets students get the most out of their abilities by pushing them and encouraging other positive character traits, like to never give up.

“Wrestling taught me a lot in life and I want to keep that tradition going,’’ Deutscher said.

Another Bison middle school wrestler, Jack Lantz, entered the tournament with a 9-0 record in the 105 pound division.

Hegan Davis came into the tournament with a 7-2 in the 110 pound class and Cam Forker was 5 -1 as a heavyweight.

Deutscher, the owner of a masonry firm, called his wrestlers overachievers in a difficult to learn sport where good results often don’t happen until after a season or two of experience.

“I couldn’t be happier with the attitude and work ethic this team puts out,” he said.

Civil War Days Committee throws high tea fundraiser

N

BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

ot only did guests at the Victorian Tea held at Three Oaks United Methodist Church Saturday, Feb. 16, get to enjoy warm tea on a pleasant winter’s afternoon, they also received a lesson on the proper way to drink it.

“What you are going to do is stir (your spoon) gently and tap a little bit to get a little liquid off your spoon,” said Kathy Alton to the crowd.

“You also do not leave your spoon in your cup - no unnecessary noises, no clinky-clinky,” she added.

The high tea was being held to raise funds for the third annual Civil War Days, which is scheduled to be held Saturday and Sunday, July 27-28.

Alton, who serves as the Civil War Days Committee founder and president, had put together the tea with other committee members.

Guests enjoyed an elegant spread of cranberry sauce, mini cinnamon rolls, English salad, egg salad tea sandwiches and safron and cream cheese sandwiches and Devonshire cream with various james. Food was prepared

by Randy Miller, who’s also on the committee.

A variety of homemade cakes, such as a Civil War Cake, a heart flag and a basket of The Kitchen Store items, could also be bid on during a silent auction.

Alton said one of the committee members said something that “sparked” the idea within her to hold a tea as their second fundraiser. The tea’s time period coincided with the time during which the Civil War took place in the United States.

“Queen Victoria was in reign from 1838 until just after the turn of the century, and the Civil War period comes right into there,” she said.

A previous fundraiser was held last November. Alton said the committee plans on throwing another fundraiser May 18, a “Picnic in the Park.”

Guests can enjoy a picnic with traditional food from the Civil War era on the lawn behind Three Oaks Elementary School (where reenactments are staged during Civil War Days) as well as a baseball game that will closely follow the rules of the game from the era.

“We want to space the fundraisers out to keep the interest and talk going,” Alton said.

Guests were also encouraged to dress up in period outfits at the tea.

Members of John Auten Camp 8, a South Bend, Indiana-based nonprofit organization that was established by the authority of the internationally organized Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, were outifted in traditional Union soldiers garb. The organization honors the memory of those who served the Union from northern Indiana in the Civil War by assisting communities, schools, churches, individuals and other organizations with education, ceremonies and by providing appropriate grave markings for Civil War veterans.

Member Jim Wilson said that camp members enjoyed the Shedd Cemetery tour held at last year’s Civil War Days weekend, where visitors could pay respects at the graves of Three Oaks Civil War veterans. “(We do) anything to keep the memory of the soldiers fresh,” he said.

Alton said that, last year, the event tripled its numbers of reenactors in the park. This year, she said she also hoped to see an increase. Reenactors come from the eastern and northern part of Michigan and northern Indiana.

Alton added that there will be a tour of the Forest Lawn Cemetery this year. A children’s day camp led by committee member Jessica Scygiel will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. Friday, July 26, during which children will be engaged in activities at the Region of Three Oaks Museum before journeying to Dewey Cannon Park in the evening. There, campers can talk and do drills with the soldier, who usually start to set up camp in the park around 4 p.m.

Alton, who also serves as the regent for the Rebecca Dewey Chapter of Three Oaks, said that weekend allows visitors to step back in time.

Reenactors have spent decades researching the time period and the atmosphere on the battlegrounds, Alton said. Visiting veterans’ graves allows others to get in touch with their own family histories.

“Many of us have heritages from both the south and the north - (the weekend) gives people the opportunity to connect with that and put together their own family heritage,” she said.

The camp in the Dewey Cannon Park will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Dewey Cannon Park Saturday and Sunday. For updated information on the event, as well as how to become a member of the committee, visit www.facebook.com/civilwardaysthreeoaks/ or www. civilwardaysthreeoaks.jimbo.com.

National Youth Preparedness Council now accepting applications

F

EMA announced the application period is now open for the 2019 National Youth Preparedness Council. This program brings teens together from across the country who are interested in community preparedness. Council members are selected based on their dedication to public service, their efforts in making a difference in their communities and their potential to expand their impact as national leaders for emergency preparedness. Students in 8th through 11th grade are eligible to apply.

“Young people engaged in our nation’s disaster preparedness today will be the emergency management leaders of tomorrow,” said James K. Joseph, FEMA Region V Administrator. “The Youth Preparedness Council is a unique way to cultivate that interest early and develop the potential of our young people in this growing field.”

The Youth Preparedness Council, formed in 2012, offers an opportunity for youth leaders to serve on a distinguished national council and participate in the Youth Preparedness Council Summit in Washington, D.C. During their two-year term, the youth leaders will complete both a local and national-level project and share their ideas regarding youth disaster preparedness with FEMA leadership and national organizations.

Youth interested in applying to the Council must submit a completed application form, provide two letters of recommendation, and academic records. All applications and supporting materials must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Pacific, March 31. New council members will be announced in May. To access the application materials, read about the current Council members, and for more general information about the Youth Preparedness Council visit www.ready.gov/youth-preparedness-council.

FEMA Region V—which includes Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin—has been represented on past national councils with participants from Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. — STAFF REPORTS

Rep. Griffin urges governor to revise, reissue plans for DEQ, water safety

S

tate Rep. Beth Griffin called on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to revise a previous plan and issue another executive order reorganizing the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in an effort to expand environmental protections, increase access to safe and clean drinking water, and improve the health and safety of Michigan’s

citizens.

Griffin, of Mattawan, said the Legislature recently rejected an executive order reorganizing the department because a portion of the order overstepped the fundamental division of powers between the governor’s office and Legislature.

“The new governor’s decision to eliminate three legislatively established commissions was an overreach of executive authority. The Legislature had a duty to act in its constitutional role as a check on the executive branch,” Griffin said. “I believe that same executive order also included many good ideas for Michigan, but because the Legislature does not have the power to edit individual lines of an executive order it had to be rejected in its entirety.”

The review commissions the governor’s executive order would have abolished were put into law last year to give citizens a much-needed voice in the rule-making process, increasing the transparency and accountability of the DEQ. Prior to the creation of review commissions, citizens and small businesses had no recourse to appeal new rules made by the DEQ and were stuck with the consequences, unless they decided to pursue costly and timeconsuming appeals through the courts.

Griffin’s resolution calls on the governor to submit a new and revised executive order that does not include the elimination of these committees.

“I’m committed to safeguarding the health and safety of Michigan families by protecting the environment and improving access to safe, clean drinking water,” Griffin said. “I’m asking the Governor to resubmit the Executive Order without elimination of the review commissions that were established by law. I’m confident we will find a lot of common ground if we work together on responsible reforms to protect and improve our water resources for all Michigan families.”

House Resolution 26 has been referred to the House Government Operations Committee for consideration. — STAFF REPORTS

AS INTERPRETED BY SANDY “STAR” BENDT ARIES MARCH 21—APRIL 19 Let go of possessiveness and don’t cling to physical items. Better things are on the horizon and it’s better to make the room for them now than be overrun when better opportunities arise. If it’s falling apart, throw it out. Don’t put much more into something that has already ran its course.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 22 Situations at home and work may become more complex or require more attention this week. Resist the urge to rebel or go off on your own. It’s time to bounce back with commitments and dig deeper. Take it to the next level even if you are unsure how to approach partners or coworkers.

TAURUS APRIL 20—MAY 20 This is a good time to question where your affiliations and connections really are and how much support you are really getting from them. You will feel a strong need to connect and get involved but there needs to be a balance. Question those things that feel one-sided or unsupported.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23—NOVEMBER 21 You have a real need to be heard and want to get serious about discussing issues with someone. There is a good chance your relationships will get fired up when you’re honest, but it will get the passion flowing again and ultimately put you back on track. Being outspoken is what makes you attractive.

GEMINI MAY 21—JUNE 21 You may feel like you are lacking power or have been disconnected from others. Unsure how to take responsibility, you may have checked out emotionally or have given up control of the situation. It’s time to look deeper at things, embrace your penetrating powers, and wield control.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22—DECEMBER 21 There is a sense that your home is not conducive to growth or you feel that you can’t really spread out as much as you would like to.

You’d like some extra material comforts now and may make some large purchases to satisfy your physical need for a more luxurious setting.

CANCER JUNE 22—JULY 22 You might be feeling a little scattered this week and it may be difficult to pinpoint where your focus should be. Rather than relying on technology to get your point across, handle communications face to face and then you can let the conversation flow naturally and nonverbally.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22—JANUARY 19 You will be very selfmotivated this week and ready to change your living situation in some way. You may not be all that keen on taking orders and may interpret any opinions expressed by others as controlling or unhelpful. Conversations could get heated and cause changes.

LEO JULY 23—AUGUST 22 Your physical needs will seem magnified this week but try not to get fatalistic or think things will never get better because they will. Even though it’s time to deepen your commitment to yourself, do so gently.

Don’t take things so seriously or jump off the deep end.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20—FEBRUARY 18 There will be plenty of opportunity to get your needs heard or be better understood this week.

The only problem is they may not be met in a way you expected or considered. Once you get in gear and go with the flow, you will become more aware of hidden powers and talents.

VIRGO AUGUST 23—SEPTEMBER 22 There are some complicated emotions or relationship situations that may get stirred up this week and you will feel the need to act or do something to stabilize the situation. Things are moving up to the next level and you need to get motivated and start creating a better connection.

PISCES FEBRUARY 19—MARCH 20 You will be ready to get involved with people and their ideas or causes will motivate you to act, this week. Beyond that, you will contribute greatly to their benefit if you speak up about your feelings and perceptions on the matter. It’s time to help others through the darkness.
