Construction of the New Dexter Senior Center: Building a Space for Connection and Care
Expanding a Vital Community Resource
by: Jenny Black
Senior centers play an essential role in the heart of a community, serving as more than just a gathering place for older adults. They are hubs for connection, learning, and support, creating an inclusive space where generations can come together. These centers offer opportunities for social engagement, mental stimulation, and physical well-being, all of which are vital to maintaining a high quality of life for seniors. Beyond benefiting individual participants, senior centers foster stronger, more connected communities by reducing isolation, promoting health, and encouraging intergenerational interaction.
The Dexter Senior Center is embarking on an exciting new chapter. Construction is well underway for a new building that will be the permanent home for this thriving organization. With the construction of a new Dexter Senior Center, this growing community is poised to enhance these crucial services, strengthening the bond between residents of all ages.
The Center has served the greater Dexter area for over 50 years, though in recent years, members have been looking to expand and find a permanent home for the organization. From 1995 to 2020, the Dexter Senior Center was located in the Copeland building, owned by Dexter Community Schools. More recently, the Senior Center has been situated
inside the Dexter Wellness Center, which was purchased by the Dexter Community Schools in April of 2024.
AN OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT
Through a dedicated group effort, with the collaboration of local organizations, community leaders, and generous donors, the funding for a new Senior Center became a reality, showcasing the power of teamwork and shared vision. Thanks to overwhelming support, the Senior Center will have a new building and the city of Dexter is going to gain a fantastic community resource. The exciting new building project will encompass both the new Senior Center and the adjacent Wellness Center, which will become a multigenerational Community Center.
“The intergenerational campus, as part of the Dexter Community Schools property, will offer programs and services to all generations,” said Jim Carson, President of the Board of the Dexter Senior Center.
The project is made possible by partnership between members of the community, the Dexter School System, elected officials, and county funding, just to name a few.
“We are thankful for the outpouring of support,” Carson said. “Many of us on the board have been committed to community service for numerous years, and we have never seen this level of support. It has been a huge team effort.”
Instrumental in the new project is an $8.5 million state appropriation secured by the Dexter Community Schools to use for a multigenerational community center. Elected officials key in securing the grant include Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, Senator Sue Shink, Representative Jennifer Conlin, and Representative Carrie Rheingans. In addition to this generous grant, Congresswoman Dingell was instrumental in securing a federal Community
Construction on the new Dexter Senior Center.
Project Funding Grant. The Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners also provided funding, as well as outside private contributors.
Many of the above-mentioned elected officials joined the Senior Center Board, Director, and members for a Groundbreaking Ceremony on July 27th. Also at the ceremony were Mayor Shawn Keough, Webster Township Treasurer John Scharf, Dexter school board member Dick Lundy and Washtenaw County Commissioner Jason Maciejewski. At the ceremony, led by Board President Jim Carson, the officials expressed the overwhelming support for the Dexter Senior Center and acknowledged the need in the community for this type of resource.
A PLACE TO MAKE CONNECTIONS
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Congresswoman Dingell spoke about how the isolation during the Covid 19 pandemic reminded us that we need human connections to remain both physically and mentally healthy. Isolation and loneliness continue to be genuine health concerns, especially among the elderly population. The Senior Center fills a need in the community by offering a space for seniors to connect with one another, as well as with younger people.
Cooper Holland has been a member of the Dexter Senior Center for over three years and currently serves on the Board of the Center as well. She attends two to three exercise classes per week, has started a book club, and
has formed valuable friendships at the Senior Center since moving to Dexter.
“The Senior Center offers people the opportunity to connect and get involved,” Holland said. “We have activities that keep people busy, both mentally and physically. Everybody brings something special and different to the Center and there are so many activities to choose from. It has truly changed my life.”
In addition to a wide array of enriching activities, the Dexter Senior Center has a strong Meals on Wheels and Senior Cafe program. The Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver nutritious meals to members of the community who are housebound, while the Senior Cafe offers senior community members a chance to eat with one another three days a week for a small donation.
BRINGING GENERATIONS TOGETHER PROMOTES WELL-BEING
While serving the elderly population is vital, the vision for the new Senior Center, Wellness Center, and Dexter Community Schools is also multigenerational. Part of the programs include bringing school aged children to the Senior Center to play bingo or read to members, among other activities. The multigenerational aspect benefits old and young people alike by aiming to bridge the gap between generations, fostering mutual understanding, respect, and cooperation. Creating opportunities for shared learning and enrichment

enhances the overall well-being of both the young and the elderly.
“We believe the school system’s vision for a multigenerational community resource is very forwardthinking,” said Holland.
Jim Carson adds to this sentiment. “The multigenerational campus will give opportunities for the whole community to interact with one another,” said Carson. “We have found that the kids love this, as well as the seniors. It’s a win/win situation.”
What will change with the new Dexter Senior Center? There will be more space to expand the programs and there will be an ability to serve more people, as the population of the Dexter area continues to grow.
“We plan to take what we have, make that even better, and add on to that,” said Holland. “This opportunity to grow is such a gift.”
The Dexter Senior Center is a vital cornerstone of the Dexter community, providing invaluable support, resources, and opportunities for connection to its senior members. Beyond serving as a haven for older adults, the center fosters a multigenerational spirit by hosting events, programs, and volunteer opportunities that bring together people of all ages. This intergenerational interaction strengthens community bonds, promotes mutual understanding, and creates a sense of belonging for everyone involved.
Preparing Your Home for Sale
Cost-Effective Projects Buyers Will Love by:
Teresa Miller
The real estate market in 2025 is predicted to be both exciting and competitive, with buyers looking for homes that are not only move-in ready but also offer value and charm. For homeowners preparing to sell, making strategic, cost-effective upgrades can significantly enhance your property’s appeal and ensure a strong return on investment (ROI). Buyers tend to make decisions based on emotion and practicality, so it’s crucial to strike the right balance between aesthetics, functionality, and value.
From enhancing curb appeal with simple landscaping to refreshing your kitchen and bathrooms with budget-friendly updates, these projects are certain to make a big impact. Modern flooring, energy-efficient improvements, and opening up spaces can make your home feel more inviting. A fresh coat of paint, updated lighting, and strategic staging will further elevate your home’s appeal, ensuring it’s marketready and irresistible to potential buyers.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER MOST
Imagine pulling up to your home for the first time. What do you notice? The curb appeal is your home’s handshake — it’s the first thing buyers see and often sets the tone for their entire tour. Enhancing your exterior doesn’t have to mean major landscaping overhauls. Start with the basics depending on the season, like mowing the lawn, raking leaves, or keeping the snow shoveled. Keeping the outside neat and tidy creates a lasting first impression.
In spring and summer, plant colorful flowers, add native plants that require minimal upkeep, and freshen up garden beds with mulch. Ideas you can do year round to add inviting touches include: installing solar-powered pathway lights, painting the front door a welcoming color like navy blue or deep red, and replacing worn-out house numbers or mailboxes. Freshly painted shutters and trim can also enhance the overall appearance of your home, making the
exterior look well-maintained and polished. These affordable updates invite buyers to step inside and can deliver a high ROI.
To help you identify the most visible repairs that are needed, try walking through your home as if you’re seeing it for the first time. You may also invite a friend or relative over, to provide a fresh perspective. Alternatively, if you know there are repairs that need to be made, have your contractor walk through and point out things he would recommend to make your home more appealing to buyers.
“Hiring a contractor to make repairs to a house before selling is advisable because it can significantly increase a property’s appeal to potential buyers, leading to a faster sale and a higher selling price,” said Brian Adiska with Orchard Creek Custom Carpentry. “You may also potentially avoid price negotiations related to necessary repairs identified during a home inspection.”
THE HEART OF THE HOME
Buyers love kitchens — it’s the space where families gather, meals are shared, and memories are made. But kitchen renovations don’t have to mean tearing everything out and starting fresh. Focus on smaller, impactful updates:
• Cabinet Facelift: Repaint cabinets in a fresh, neutral color like white or light gray and replace hardware with modern handles or knobs
• Backsplash Upgrade: Install a timeless subway tile backsplash or a budget-friendly peel-and-stick option for a quick refresh
• Fixture and Appliance Refresh: Swap out old faucets, light fixtures, or even a dated range hood with sleek, modern alternatives
These updates can give your kitchen a whole new look without the hefty price tag. Also doing a thorough job cleaning, decluttering, and organizing can make your kitchen more appealing to potential buyers.
RELAXING RETREATS
Bathrooms are second only to kitchens in importance to buyers. Simple touches that are cheap and easy to make, only requiring a bit of elbow grease, and can create a clean, relaxing atmosphere.
Brighten up tile and bathroom fixtures by cleaning or replacing caulk and existing grout lines. Replace your towel bars and install modern faucets and showerheads. Add a spa-like feel by replacing an old mirror with one framed in wood or metal. Replace dim lighting with energy-efficient LED lighting above the vanity. Creating a fresh, updated bathroom can make your home feel more luxurious without requiring a full remodel.
SAY GOODBYE TO CARPETS
Flooring has a major impact on how buyers perceive a home. Current buyers are drawn to durable, eco-friendly options like luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or engineered hardwood. These materials are affordable, stylish, and easy to maintain — ideal for busy families or pet owners.
If you’re dealing with worn-out carpets, consider replacing them in key living areas with updated flooring options. Even
refinishing hardwood floors can provide an excellent ROI, making your home feel fresh, modern, and move-in ready.
APPEAL TO THE ECO-CONSCIOUS BUYER
As sustainability continues to dominate conversations, energy efficiency is no longer a “nice-to-have” but a musthave for many buyers. Making your home greener can be as simple as sealing windows and doors to prevent drafts, upgrading to a smart thermostat, and replacing old lightbulbs with energy-efficient LEDs.
For a bit more investment, consider adding attic insulation or upgrading to Energy Star-rated appliances. Not only will you attract environmentally conscious buyers, but you’ll also be able to highlight lower utility costs — an attractive feature for any homeowner.
CREATE OPEN AND FUNCTIONAL SPACES
Buyers are looking for homes that feel spacious and versatile. If your home has small or awkward rooms, consider opening things up by removing non-load-bearing walls to create an open-concept living area. Rearrange furniture to maximize flow and natural light. Stage spaces like a home office or gym to demonstrate their potential. Even small changes, such as
Providing plenty of light, updating faucets, and placing a framed mirror above the vanity can give your bathroom a spa-like feel.
decluttering and removing oversized furniture, can transform a room and make it feel larger.
ILLUMINATE THE POSSIBILITIES
Never underestimate the power of paint and good lighting. A freshly painted, neutral-color can make any space feel larger, cleaner, and more inviting. Popular and versatile shades include warm whites, soft beiges, and gentle grays. These hues not only appeal to a broad audience but also allow buyers to envision their personal style in the home.
Bright, well-lit spaces feel more welcoming and spacious. Replace dim or outdated fixtures with modern designs and add smart bulbs or dimmers for versatility. Provide additional lighting in key areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, and living room to showcase your home.
DECLUTTER, CLEAN, AND STAGE FOR SUCCESS
Perhaps the most cost-effective way to prepare your home for sale is to declutter, deep clean, and stage it to highlight its best features. Remove personal items, excess furniture, and anything that might distract from the home’s potential.
Hiring a professional stager can be an excellent investment, but do-it-yourself staging with carefully chosen furniture and
decor can work just as well. Make each room feel functional, inviting, and ready for buyers to imagine themselves living there.
“Real estate is not just about property; it’s about people. Decluttering your home can help the new buyers paint themselves into their new future.” said Geri Uihllein with the GU Crew at Howard Hanna. “Staging your home can be done with proper placement of a few of your items, coupled with a few new items.”
WHAT BUYERS WANT
This year, buyers are looking for homes that feel modern yet timeless, eco-friendly, and adaptable to a range of lifestyles. Showcasing spaces that are functional, energy-efficient, and move-in ready is key to making a strong impression. Having a friend who can give you an honest opinion of repairs that need to be done and working with a real estate agent or contractor early in your process can help you decide where to focus your time and attention.
Selling your home in 2025 doesn’t have to mean pouring thousands of dollars into renovations. By focusing on strategic, cost-effective updates, you can create a home that buyers will fall in love with while maximizing your ROI. With a little effort and a clear plan, your home will stand out in the competitive market and have buyers lining up to make an offer.
Apply a fresh coat of paint in warm whites or other neutral colors that appeal to a broad range of home buyers.

Guide to Financing and Buying Your First Home
A Comprehensive Guide to Financing Your First Home
By: Teresa Miller
Owning a home is a dream for many, and turning that dream into reality requires careful planning and smart financial decisions. Financing your first home can be a complex process, but with the right knowledge and steps, you can navigate the journey with confidence. In this article, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to make your homeownership dreams come true.
STEP 1: ASSESS YOUR FINANCIAL HEALTH
Before you dive into the world of mortgages and loans, it’s crucial to assess your current financial situation. Start by reviewing your credit score, as it plays a significant role in determining your eligibility for a mortgage and the interest rates you’ll be offered. Obtain a credit report from a reputable agency and address any discrepancies or issues.
Next, calculate your debt-to-income ratio, which is the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes toward paying debts. Lenders often use this ratio to evaluate your ability to manage monthly payments. Aim for a ratio below 43%, as it is generally considered a healthy benchmark.
STEP 2: SET A REALISTIC BUDGET
Once you have a clear understanding of your financial health, establish a realistic budget for your home purchase. Consider your current expenses, future financial goals, and potential changes in income. Your budget should not only cover the mortgage but also factor in property taxes, homeowners’ insurance, maintenance costs, and potential homeowners association fees.
Take advantage of online calculators to estimate monthly mortgage payments based on different loan terms and interest rates. This will give you a better idea of the price range you can comfortably afford.
STEP 3: SAVE FOR A DOWN PAYMENT
“We find the thing holding many people back from owning a home is that they think they can’t,” said Bob Yopko, with First Equity Residential Mortgage. “I suggest anyone interested in home ownership contact an experienced lender to find out where they stand. They might be pleasantly surprised.”
One of the most significant financial hurdles for first-time homebuyers is the down payment. While some loan programs allow for lower down payments, saving as much as possible can open up more options and reduce the overall cost of your mortgage.
Experts recommend aiming for a down payment of at least 20% of the home’s purchase price to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) and secure better loan terms. Create a dedicated savings account for your down payment and explore government programs or employer-sponsored assistance that may help you save more efficiently.
STEP 4: EXPLORE MORTGAGE OPTIONS
With your finances in order and a down payment in the works, it’s time to explore mortgage options. There are various types of mortgages, each with its own advantages and considerations. Common options include fixed-rate mortgages, adjustable-rate mortgages, FHA loans, and VA loans.
Compare interest rates, loan terms, and closing costs from different lenders to find the best fit for your financial situation. Don’t hesitate to consult with mortgage professionals who can provide personalized advice based on your needs.
Bob Yopko, Loan Originator, and Bobby Yopko III, Office Manager, with First Equity Residential Mortgage
STEP 5: GET PRE-APPROVED
Once you’ve identified a suitable mortgage option, seek preapproval from your chosen lender. This involves providing detailed financial information and undergoing a credit check to determine the maximum loan amount you qualify for.
STEP 6: FIND THE RIGHT HOME
Armed with a pre-approval letter and a solid understanding of your budget, you can start the exciting journey of finding your dream home. Work with a real estate agent who understands your preferences, and explore neighborhoods that align with your lifestyle and future plans.
Consider the long-term aspects of a property, such as its resale potential, school districts, and proximity to essential amenities. Don’t hesitate to attend open houses, ask questions, and gather as much information as possible before making a decision.
STEP 7: PUTTING IN AN OFFER
When buying a home, making your offer stand out to sellers is crucial, especially in competitive markets. It can be discouraging when houses are selling for thousands of dollars over asking price and many are all cash offers. Even if you don’t have cash, but are preapproved for a mortgage, there are other ways to strengthen your offer.
“We will first find out what is most important to the seller and structure our offer accordingly. Oftentimes sellers don’t want to be out of the home at closing. In that event, we would allow the sellers to extend their occupancy in the home at no charge after closing, such as 30 days,” said Susan Pidd, with Susan Pidd Realty. “Also, being flexible with closing dates and writing an escalation clause in the
offer in the event we are competing with another buyer are excellent tools to utilize when writing an offer.”
An escalation clause in your offer can automatically increase your bid in response to competing offers, ensuring you don’t overpay yet remain competitive up to a maximum limit.
Additionally, including an appraisal gap guarantee is a commitment that you will cover any difference between the offer price and a lower appraised value, providing reassurance to sellers that the sale will proceed as planned. Using these strategies can significantly enhance your offer’s attractiveness to sellers, potentially making the difference in securing your dream home.
STEP 8: NAVIGATE THE CLOSING PROCESS
Once you’ve found the perfect home and your offer has been accepted, it’s time to navigate the closing process. This involves finalizing the mortgage, completing a home inspection, and ensuring all necessary paperwork is in order.
Review the closing costs carefully and be prepared to cover expenses such as attorney fees, title insurance, and property taxes. Work closely with your real estate agent and mortgage lender to ensure a smooth and successful closing.
HOMEOWNERSHIP AWAITS
We find the thing holding many people back from owning a home is that they think they can’t,” said Bob Yopko, with First Equity Residential Mortgage.”I suggest anyone interested in home ownership contact an experienced lender to find out where they stand. They might be pleasantly surprised.”
Financing and buying your first home may seem like a daunting task, but with careful planning and the right steps, you can turn your homeownership dreams into reality. Assess your financial health, set a realistic budget, save for a down payment, explore mortgage options, get preapproved, find the right home, put in a competitive offer, and navigate the closing process. By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to unlocking the door to your dream home and enjoying the many benefits of homeownership.
Exploring a Career in Skilled Trades: A Path Worth Considering
The Hands-On Route to Success
By: Teresa Miller
Deciding on a career path is a significant decision, but if you’re inclined towards hands-on work that yields immediate, tangible results, the skilled trades are worth considering. These professions are not just jobs; they are critical roles that keep society running smoothly and offer personal fulfillment, financial stability, and numerous other benefits. Students in Dexter may embark on a journey in pursuing a career in the skilled trades in a variety of programs available through Career and Technical Education (CTE) at the South & West Washtenaw Consortium (SWWC).
“The building trades program has been a great learning experience for me. I enjoy working with my hands and it’s a great alternative to the classroom,” said Sullivin Hines, a Junior at Dexter High School. “I plan to use the skills I use here in my future career.”
BENEFITS OF THE SKILLED TRADES
Pursuing a career in the skilled trades can be a smart, rewarding decision. Skilled tradespeople are always in high
demand due to the essential nature of their work, which includes construction, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and more. The persistent need for these skills means that job security in this sector tends to be robust.
Variety, a sense of accomplishment, and financial considerations contribute to high job satisfaction in many of the skilled trades. Working in a trade often means no two days are the same. The work can involve different locations, varied projects, and unique challenges, which keeps the workday interesting and dynamic. There is a unique satisfaction that comes from crafting or repairing something with your own hands. Additionally, skilled trade jobs often offer competitive salaries that are comparable to or even exceed those of jobs requiring a four-year college degree.
“Welding is a field rich with opportunities,” said Randal Butts, a welding instructor at SWWC. “With competitive wages, job stability, and entrepreneurial potential, students who pursue welding through CTE programs gain valuable skills that employers highly seek.”
Other financial advantages for skilled trades people include the opportunity to work overtime and the opportunity for advancement. Skilled trades people can advance in their careers by increasing levels of certification and specialization, by moving into management and supervisory roles, or by going into business for themselves.
With competitive wages, job stability, and entrepreneurial potential, students who pursue welding through CTE programs gain valuable skills that employers highly seek,” said Randal Butts, a welding instructor at SWWC.
SPOTLIGHT ON THE SKILLED TRADES
For those who prefer active, engaging work environments over desk jobs, skilled trades provide the opportunity to work with their hands, solve practical problems, and see tangible results. Here are just a few of the fields available in the skilled trades:
• ELECTRICIAN: Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical power systems in homes, businesses, and factories, ensuring that electricity is safely and efficiently brought to every device that needs it.
• PLUMBER: Plumbers install and repair pipes and fixtures that carry water, gas, or other fluids in residential and commercial settings. They are critical in designing systems that effectively manage water and waste.
• CARPENTER: Carpenters construct and repair structures, buildings, and homes. Some work as builders, others as remodelers, or they may also build custom furniture and cabinetry.
• HVAC TECHNICIAN: HVAC technicians work on heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems that control the temperature and air quality in buildings. Some work in commercial buildings and others service or install equipment in homes.
• WELDER: Welders use equipment to join metal parts, fixing and fabricating metal structures, tools, and vehicles across a variety of industries. Welding requires a steady hand and precise attention to detail.
• HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATOR/MECHANIC: Heavy equipment operators work with large machinery and vehicles used in construction, mining, agriculture, and other industries. They also need to know how to maintain, and repair heavy equipment such as bulldozers, cranes, excavators, and loaders.
• AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN/MECHANIC: Automotive technicians diagnose, repair, and maintain vehicles. They work on engines, transmissions, brakes, and other mechanical and electrical systems.
I like being hands-on and working on vehicles,” said Van Picinotti, a Dexter student.

OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THE SOUTH & WEST WASHTENAW CONSORTIUM (SWWC)
The South & West Washtenaw Consortium (SWWC) provides Career & Technical Education (CTE) opportunities to 11th and 12th-grade students enrolled in the Chelsea, Dexter, Lincoln, Manchester, Milan, and Saline school districts.
The SWWC offers traditional CTE classes such as Culinary Arts, Automotive, Welding, Building Trades, Cosmetology, and Health Science, as well as nontraditional CTE classes such as Marketing, Accounting, Hospitality & Tourism, Computer-Aided Design, Cybersecurity, and Engineering and Robotics.
CTE classes offer a wealth of benefits that can positively impact a student’s future, such as:
• Hands-On Learning: CTE classes provide practical, hands-on experience in various fields, allowing students to develop valuable skills that are directly applicable to real-world situations.
• Career Exploration: The SWWC programs offer a wide range of courses in diverse industries, allowing students to explore different career paths and discover their passions.
• Industry Certification: Many CTE courses offer the opportunity to earn industry-recognized certifications, which can enhance students’ resumes and make them more competitive in the job market.
• College and Career Readiness: By participating in CTE classes, students will gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to begin the next stage of their life after high school. If students complete a full year of their CTE class and earn a 2.0 or higher, they can obtain college credit.
• Leadership and Scholarship Opportunities: Every CTE program has a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO), which offers additional leadership opportunities and the ability to earn scholarships.

EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO BUILD A BRIGHT FUTURE
From electricians wiring up our world to plumbers ensuring our water runs smoothly, skilled tradespeople are the backbone of our infrastructure. But how does one get started in this fulfilling line of work? High school CTE programs serve as a launching pad, providing students with the practical skills, industry connections, and career readiness needed to thrive in the trades.
“Students learn skills, gain confidence and make friends while tackling building and remodelling projects that serve their communities.” said Jeff Rittenhouse, SWWC Building Trades Instructor. “It is inspiring to have former students come back and share about their progress in training programs or employment. We welcome local contractors to visit our classes to recruit and share their experience and knowledge with our students.”
TRANSITIONING FROM CLASSROOM TO CAREER
With a solid foundation from CTE programs, students seamlessly transition into the workforce or pursue advanced training. Armed with practical skills, industry connections, and a clear career path, they can enter careers in the skilled trades, shaping the world around them one project at a time.
“CTE classes like those at SWWC give students real-life skills in a controlled environment,” said Ryan Wood, an automotive technology technician at SWWC. “I took an Auto Tech class in high school just to learn basic car maintenance. Fourteen years later, that interest led me to a college degree and a decades-long career in the auto industry.”
Choosing a career in the skilled trades isn’t just about finding a job—it’s about pursuing an occupation that offers stability, satisfaction, and meaningful impact. High school CTE programs serve as the first step on this journey, empowering students with the skills, knowledge, and connections needed to succeed in the workforce. Whether you’re wiring circuits, welding metal, or building structures, the world of skilled trades awaits—ready to welcome you into its ranks.
