Cousins bringing poultry to this week’s Fowlerville Family Fair Mia Stock, shown here with her turkey, and Aidan Smyth holding one of his chickens are among the over 600 Livingston County 4-Hers who will be bring their exhibits to this week’s Fowlerville Family Fair. The six-day event starts on Monday, July 21, and continues through Saturday. A main activity for the 4-Hers will be the judging of their livestock exhibits, but a number of special events and activities also take place during the week including the auction for large animals on Friday afternoon and the auction for small animals on Saturday. Mia and Aidan are cousins and keep the poultry at their grandparents’ farm (Dave & Sally Malcolm), located south of Fowlerville. They belong to the Kounty Klover Kids 4-H Club. Mia is 16 years old and the daughter of Mike and Cris Stock of Conway Township. She’s been in 4-H for four years. “I’m showing the turkey, two pens of meat birds, a show chicken, and a pen of pigs,” Mia said The meat birds, she noted, are Cornish X Rocks, while the show bird is an Old English breed. Her pigs are a Yorkshire and a New Hamp which she keeps at the Kubiak farm. “This is my second year of taking a pig,” she said. “Last year I took just one and got $3.50 lb at the Livestock Market. “I enjoy raising the livestock and showing them at the fair,” she said. Her efforts, though, are not con ned to the July event. Earlier in the year, as part of a 4-H Community Service Project, she raised 18 meat birds that were donated to the Family Impact Center. Mia will be starting her junior year at Fowlerville High this fall. She said that biology and history are favorite subjects. “I take part in cross country and track and am on the drum line of the marching band,” she said. Her future goal is to attend college and become a large-animal veterinarian.
Aidan is 11 years old and the son of John Smyth and Karen Malcolm. He resides in the Village of Fowlerville. This is his second year of 4-H and he’s taking a pen of meat chickens (Cornish X Rocks) and two turkeys. “Last year I took a pen of meat birds, two turkeys, and a show duck,” he noted. “I got a pretty good price at the auction for the turkeys and chickens. I placed sixth with my duck in showmanship last year.” He planned to take ducks to this year’s event, but a fox had other plans and killed it. “I enjoy interacting with the animals,” Aidan said when asked what he enjoys about 4-H. He added that he might raise and show pigs at a future fair, like his cousin. This fall he’ll be in sixth grade at the Fowlerville Junior High. Favorite subjects are math, reading, and writing. In elementary he played soccer and he said that he may resume participation in that sport. See more info on the Fair on pg 5

Police investigating fraud complaint; someone using Village name on checks Fowlerville Police have been investigating a fraud complaint in which someone has been writing checks to people around the nation, supposedly issued by the Village of Fowlerville. “These checks look valid with most of the correct information (on them) from the Village,” Police Chief Thomas Couling wrote in a report to the Village Council. “These checks have been presented around the nation to purchase items off Craig’s List,” Couling noted. “These checks are written in excess of the amount to purchase the items, with the receiver of the check being instructed to deposit the check in their account and send the excess amount electronically to the sender.” In a discussion on the matter at last Monday’s council meeting, Couling and Village President Wayne Copeland said that over 30 calls have been received at the of ce from people who have received these checks. They added that neither the Village nor the Village’s bank has lost any money for the scheme. “We’ve been victimized by the use of our name,” said Couling. “While we know that the checks have gone to people all over the country and have received the (30 plus) calls, unfortunately there are probably people out there who have been victimized.” The police have been working with the fraud department at the Village’s bank, but Couling said the prospects of nding the culprit or culprits are poor. “There’s no way to track them down,” he said. “When we follow a lead, the names and addresses turn out to be false.”

By Cheryl Poch On July 9, 2014, over 335 people crossed our doors at the library. That averages out to over 35 people per hour. I am sure we missed a few patrons here and there because it was so busy that day. Our summer reading programs are going strong and we are all having a good time! Speaking of numbers...the library has 878 e-books in our system. They range from children’s books to adult ction. Starting in 2012 we had seven checkouts. The following year-2013 was when our circulation exploded. We had a total of 274 patrons check out approximately 478 e-books. Not bad. The library is always adding books to our collection every day. Just check out our NEW FICTION area – there is something for everyone. Our next outdoor FREE movie night is Friday August 8th. We are having fun and hope you will come to our last fun night at the movies. We had over 80 people at our last lm
fest which was on Friday 13th! That is pretty cool for a new event starting at the Fowlerville Library. The sound is terri c and the picture quality is awesome. It certainly a fun time for all! Soon we will be getting our 2015 magazines. Some of our new titles are: National Geographic Traveler, Popular Mechanics, Brides, Do It Yourself and more. Here are other titles we are getting now. Knit Simple, Craft Ideas, Food Network, HGTV, and many, many more. And don’t forget – if you are looking for a review on cars, washers, cameras, tablets, etc. check out Consumer Reports magazine and the annual Consumer Reports Digest. Here are a few NEW MYSTERY titles in our NEW FICTION collection. Check them out: Death
Takes a Ride by Lorena McCourtney. Cate Kinkaid arrives at H&B Vintage Auto Restorations to give a friend a ride, but as usual trouble brews when a dead man, one wounded man and what appears to be a pretty obvious case of self-defense make her life a little more interesting. Trusting Viktorby Lee Mims-a Cleo Cooper Mystery. Deep sea drilling off the coast of North Carolina turns deadly in the second book of the Cleo Cooper mystery series. Blacklist by Jerry Ludwig-a suspenseful, fascinating look back at a Hollywood still reeling from then 1950’s Communist witch hunt that unleashed pervasive fear and hatred while wrecking lives and damaging the movie industry. There you have it – a few NEW mysteries to ‘whet’ your mystery minds! Till next week: “The person who can bring the spirit of laughter into a room is indeed blessed.”
Le Concours de Livingston holding classic auto show on August 23 Love Inc. is holding its 4th annual Le Concours de Livingston on August 23 at 7 p.m. The Classic Auto Show will be hosted at Whispering Pines Golf Club and Banquet Center. Along with the cars, the event will feature a live and silent auction, live music, and food and beverages. For more information, go to www.leconcours.org
Community Theatre holding auditions for 3 upcoming shows Fowlerville Community Theatre is scheduling auditions now for three upcoming shows. The rst two shows are dinner theatre murder mysteries. The rst, Trouble at the Tropicabana, will be performed. Oct. 17, 2014. It’s a hilarious I Love Lucy spoof that includes Ricky, Lucy, Fred, Ethel, gangsters, and murder. The second show, Murder under the Mistletoe, will be performed Nov. 14, 2014. When the CEO of a struggling accounting rm decides to throw a holiday party to boost morale, the results turn deadly. Both dinner theatre shows will be performed at Woodshire Place Banquet Facility. The nal show of the 2014 season, the hilarious Christmas classic The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, will be performed Dec. 5-7, 2014 at the Alverson Center for Performing Arts. A couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won’t believe the mayhem – and the fun- when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on! Dinner shows feature adult actors in the 20s-60s age range. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever has roles for children aged 6-14, and adults in the 30s -60s range. Age ranges are just estimates as children/adults may look younger or older than their actual age. The casting for all three shows will take place Aug. 4-8 (6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.), Aug. 9 & 10 (2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.), and Aug. 23 & 24 (2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.) at Dr. Tim Tersigni’s of ce located at 746 S. Grand Ave., Fowlerville, MI 48836. You can schedule an audition for any or all of the shows on one of these days. Auditions run about 10-15 minutes per person. Arrange a time slot and receive the audition dialogue by emailing [email protected] or calling Diana
Dombrowski at 517 223-9409. FCT welcomes folks who have never been on stage before as well as the seasoned veteran. Take a risk, have some fun, and join us in one or all of these hilarious shows.

Northern Neighbors 4-H Club learn about making leather belts Early humans found many utilitarian uses for leather crafted from the skins of animals. Leather was often softened with grease or bark extract and tanned to make clothing, shelter, carpets, sandals, armor, boats, containers, gloves and belts. Tanning leather was such a highly prized skill initially that it was passed down from father to son and the secret safeguarded. In the Middle Ages trade guilds were started speci cally for tanners and it was during this timeframe when dining chairs were fashioned of leather because it did not absorb food odor. Eskimos even chewed the leather thus

the saliva softened the leather as a sort of tanning process. During the Industrial Revolution leather began being crafted to drive machinery. Presently approximately one-half of all leather today is used to make shoes. Additional uses include automobile seats, saddles, harnesses and even book binding. Under the tutelage of expert leather artisan Dawn Trantham of Fowlerville’s Leather Shop, these teenage Northern Neighbor 4-Hers crafted unique leather belts from cow hide. This shop also crafts items from deer skin, crocodile hide and even sting rays!

Of the many gifts nature has given mankind the monarch butter y would seem to rank near the top. What gardener isn’t thrilled to see one of these creatures uttering among his owers These beautiful butter ies may weigh less than a tenth of an ounce but that just makes their epic journey to Mexico, some 3,000 miles, all the more astounding. Of the more than 8,000 species of butter ies in the Americas, the monarch
alone makes the yearly transcontinental ight. Less than two decades ago, a staggering one billion migrated to Mexico for the winter, roosting by the tens of millions at a handful of sites in the mountains west of Mexico City. Last year a mere fraction of that, just 33.5 million made the journey. This is an all time record low. Many experts have warned that the great monarch migration is at serious risk of disappearing. What has caused the drastic decline in monarchs The prime culprit is industrial agriculture. As Big Ag has sown millions of acres of American farmland with genetically modi ed crops to resist powerful herbicides, it has also gone on a spraying binge, dousing the landscape with millions upon millions of weed killers like glyphosates, commonly known as Roundup. These potent herbicides also kill native milkweed, and milkweed is the only plant newly hatched monarch larvae can eat. The experts say it’s not too late to save the monarchs; they are resilient and adaptive creatures. But we must act now to put the brakes on Big Ag’s herbicide spraying spree. With the very survival of monarchs hanging in the balance the National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) is mobilizing to gather public support for getting butter y friendly limits on herbicide use. Also, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could dramatically increase the monarchs’ chances of survival by adopting commonsense safeguards against the overuse of glyphosates and other herbicides. Let’s urge this agency to limit their uses along the highways and require farmers to establish herbicide-free safety zones in and around their
elds. What can you do For a limited time there is a gift of a tote bag featuring a gorgeous monarch with your donation of $10.00 or more to the NRDC, 40 West 20th Street., New York, New York 10011. To learn more about this issue go to www.LetMonarchsFLy.org and click on “tell EPA to protect monarchs.” P.S. It has been a number of years since close to the Labor Day weekend, I have watched monarch butter ies dip down out of the northern sky and hesitate in the owers around my patio. Some would seem to rest there while others would simply y low before launching themselves over the crown of my home and on toward their Mexican destination.
Fowlerville village treasurer Sherry
For the past four years, Fowlerville village treasurer Sherry Prevo has been able to add the designation of MiCPT behind her name in of cial correspondence. The acronym stands for Michigan Certi ed Professional Treasurer and is given by the Michigan Municipal Treasurers Association (MMTA) for those who complete the organization’s three-year Basic Institute. To maintain that recognition and be re-certi ed, a treasurer has to accumulate 30 points over the four ensuing years. The of cial earns a point for every two hours of educational and training classes they take. These classes are offered at MMTA workshops, conferences, and seminars. A municipal treasurer can also attend the annual Advanced Institute and earn 10 points. Prevo has received her re-certi cation as of June 1 by completing the requirements and earning the necessary points. The purpose of the certi cation and re-certi cation process is to encourage these municipal of cials to take advantage of available training on the responsibilities of their jobs and to receive up-to-date information. The goal is to help them do a better job and, in doing so, better serve the public. Prevo has been the treasurer for the Village of Fowlerville for nine years. Her duties include handling the revenues and expenditures of the village, helping with the preparation and monitoring of the annual budget, preparing the tax roll, issuing tax bills, as well as maintaining cemetery records.

Michigan most improved state for pro-business environment, says report LANSING – The American Economic Development Institute and Pollina Corporate Real Estate, Inc. today named Michigan the Most Improved State for 2014 in their annual Top 10 Pro-Business States report. Overall, Michigan ranked no. 3 among the nation’s top 10 most populous states and no. 2 among the eight Great Lakes states. “Once again, the nation is taking notice of the bold reforms now driving Michigan forward,” said Michael A. Finney, President and CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. “Michigan’s improved ranking near the very top of the most populous states, and among Great Lakes states, underscores Michigan’s tremendous workforce capabilities and our numerous business climate improvements. This means more and better jobs for Michigan families.” The state’s improved rank pushed it ahead of other top population states, including Georgia (ranked 22), Ohio (23), Texas (27), New York (30), Pennsylvania (39), Illinois (49)
ahead of Michigan at no. 11 and 15, respectively. Michigan advanced 21 spots in this year’s Pro-Business States report, up to no. 18 from no. 39 in 2012. In its announcement, AEDI/Pollina Corporate said, “Certainly, two of the state’s boldest moves were to pass Right to Work legislation and repeal of the maligned MBT business tax” as key factors in improving the state’s business climate. “Our many reforms over the last four years have meant measurable improvements for Michigan companies,” Finney said. ”We hear regularly that these changes are changing how Michigan is viewed by business leaders and corporate site location specialists. Doors that were previously closed to us are opening now and with that comes opportunities for business investment and new, good paying jobs.” The state’s many pro-business changes have resulted in other noteworthy improvements, including: --No. 1 for states that recovered most from the Great Recession, according to 24/7 Wall Street.
for major new corporate facilities and expansions by Site Selection Magazine. --Second most business-friendly among the nation’s 10 largest states, according to the Tax Foundation. --Between 2009 and 2014, climbed 15 spots on CNBC’s
Top States for Business. --First in the nation for high tech job growth from 2011-2013. --Michigan’s venture capital community is outpacing the national trend,
that manage $1.6 billion in capital. --Michigan’s unemployment rate is the
lowest it’s been in six years. --Balanced budget four years in a row. The Pollina Corporate annual 50-state ranking indicates how well each state has or has not positioned itself to retain and create jobs as well as sustain America’s middle class. Now in its 11th edition, the study has also become an important tool for corporations to evaluate their current and future U.S. locations.

This report covers the drinking water quality for Village of Fowlerville for the 2013 calendar year. This information is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided to you in 2013. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. Your water comes from 5 groundwater wells, each over Avg.depth of 250-290 ft.. Drawing from the Michigan & Marshall Formations watershed. The State per-formed an assessment of our source water to determine the susceptibility or the rel-ative potential of contamination. The susceptibility rating is on a seven-tiered scale from “very-low” to “very-high” based on geologic sensitivity, well construction, water chemistry and contamination sources. The susceptibility of our source is [Well # 9 (moderately high) Well # 10 (moderately high) Well #11 (moderately high) Well #12 (moderately low) Well #13 (moderately low)].
-ination in our wells. If you would like to know more about the report please contact, Cathy Elliott at
Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bot-tled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indi-cate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Wa-ter Hotline (800-426-4791).
Vulnerability of sub-populations: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-com-promised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, per-sons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to less-en the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are
Sources of drinking water: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cas-es, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
1. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock op-erations and wildlife.
2. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be nat-urally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or do-mestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
3. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses.
4. Radioactive contaminants, which are naturally occurring or be the re-sult of oil and gas production and mining activities.
5. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organ-ic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petro-leum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bot-tled water which provide the same protection for public health.
Water Quality Data The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2013 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 – December 31, 2013. The State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year
-cantly from year to year. All of the data is representative of the water quality, but some are more than one year old.Terms and abbreviations used below:
The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
means the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition
of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. means the level of a
drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to
microbial contaminants. Not applicable not detectable at testing limit parts per billion
or micrograms per liter parts per million or milligrams per liter pico-curies per liter (a measure of radioactivity).
The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.

*Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. Monitoring helps EPA to determine where certain contaminants occur and whether it needs to regulate those contaminants. Information about Lead: If Present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant woman and young children. Lead in drink-ing water primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Village of Fowlerville is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing compo-nents. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the
using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, test methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe

Fowlerville Equestrian Team takes 2nd at District Meet The Fowlerville Equestrian Team took 2nd place at their district meet on June 29. The team was led by Kora Holcomb, who showed her heart out and really stepped it up for the sake of the team. She showed in western, English and saddle seat tting and showing, as well as hunt seat and western equitation, trail, and speed classes. Aside from the chaos of the day she made the most out of it and worked hard to pull out a second place, falling just short of Northville Middle School. Huge congratulations to her, and a giant thank you to all the adults and helpers that made the weekend possible.

Senior Spotlight-- Emily SparkiaBy Haylee Klempner
Emily Sparkia has been making her mark on Webberville since third grade. She is the daughter of Scott and Jane Sparkia and sister of Sam and Jonah Sparkia. Sam graduated from Webberville 2009 and Jonah is currently in eighth grade. Sparkia has played a role in several different activities throughout her high school career. She was captain of the golf team this year and also played two years prior. Emily has been part of the robotics team, The Spartan Sprocket’s, since her freshman year. She has also been a participant in the band program since fth grade. “I have appreciated her dedication over the years,” said band director, Gary Franks. Sparkia’s family has been very inspirational. Her parents have pushed her to succeed all throughout high school. This has inspired her to push herself so that she can get the job and career she is going for. Her brothers have also stood behind her during her high school career always pushing her to do better. While in high school, Sparkia excelled in the classroom and academics especially in Biology and Zoology. She liked to make it a point to help those around her when they were in need of assistance. “Emily is extremely hardworking and sel ess, so I consider her a good student,” said band director, Mr. Franks. While Sparkia enjoyed studying here at Webberville she is excited to expand her horizons. Sparkia plans to get a MACRAO agreement and start at Lansing Community College and later transfer to a Michigan university. A major factor in uencing her future plan was Steve Erwin, the Crocodile Hunter. “My older brother and I used to race downstairs on Saturday mornings to watch a new episode,” said Sparkia. She plans to major in Zoology to study Crocodilians. “I would like to tell my underclassmen friends ‘thank you’ for all the fun times we had,” Sparkia said. “I also want to thank them for being themselves and making my high school career a good one.”

Michigan Senate ReportBy Joe Hune,22nd District
It’s time for the Fowlerville Fair! With summer in full swing, one of our district’s most popular events is right around the corner. I would like to draw everyone’s attention to the 2014 Fowlerville Fair. The Fowlerville Fair, July 21-26, has welcomed the public since the creation in 1886 of the nonpro t Fowlerville Agricultural Society. Events include Ladies Day, harness horse racing, 4-H livestock auction, the Homemaker of the Year Award, and the crowning of the 2014 Fowlerville Family Fair Queen. The Fair is one of my favorite events of the year. Particularly, I like the 4-H livestock auction, which I attend every year and have taken part in since being a youngster. Your bids on this prized livestock helps support the kids of the 4-H, whose slogan is to “learn by doing.” This is also a great event for families. Kid’s Day is Wednesday when the Midway (the section with all of those carnival rides we love) offers reduced price armbands. Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to live in 19th Century Livingston County? This year the fair invites you to visit the “historical village” consisting of historical buildings from the local area located in the back of the fairgrounds. The buildings will be available for viewing in the afternoons during the fair with representatives from the Society that can give information on donating to the restoration and becoming involved in the effort. Admission prices for adults are $6, $5 for seniors, $3 for children ages 6-12 and FREE for those 5 and under. More info on the fair can be found at www.fowlervillefamilyfair.com/index.html and comprehensive list of events can be found at www.fowlervillefamilyfair.com/events.html and as always feel free to contact my of ce at 1-855-JOE-HUNE, or email us at [email protected] and my staff will be happy to assist you.

Trees on North Maple Street being removed due to construction project
By Steve Horton The trees on North Maple Street will be or have already been remove, as initially planned, due to the construction now underway on that village road. These trees are in close proximity to trenches that will be dug to install new water and sewer lines and storm drains as part of the street improvement project. While there had been hopes of saving some of these shade trees from the chainsaw, those hopes were dashed after Jeremy Hertz, a Howell area arborist, determined they would not survive the root damage or would be unsafe to leave standing due to the loss of those roots. Fowlerville Village Council, at its July 14 meeting last week, accepted Hertz’s report. “He did an excellent job of explaining the situation to the residents,” said trustee David Kuehn, who also lives on that street. “There was one tree that we thought could be saved, but he explained to the homeowner that removing the roots on the street side of the tree would make it unsafe. A wind or ice storm would likely cause it to fall onto their house since there’d be nothing to anchor it to the ground on that side.” “He did a very thorough job,” said Village President Wayne Copeland who accompanied the arborist on his inspection as did the village engineer and a representative from the Joe Raica Construction Company. “He was very straight forward. Council had only asked him to look at ve speci c trees, but he went ahead and looked at others that are slated to be removed and included those in his report as well.” The ve mature shade trees had included two Crimson King maples, another maple, and a honey locust. Several residents had raised objections to the initial plans to cut all of the trees that were deemed to be in the way of underground water and sewer lines or that the engineer felt would interfere with connecting the residential water and sewer tap-ins to these lines. The residents contacted a member of the local Sierra Club to offer advice on the possibility of saving some or all of the trees. At the June 30 council meeting, several of those residents were in attendance along with the Sierra Club representative, Mary Novrocki. Council was informed that trees within 10 feet of trenching have a high risk of dying, while those further away have a higher chance of survival. She noted that the City of Howell uses an arborist (Hertz) to evaluate the situation. She further stated that Howell has a policy to replace a removed tree with two or more new ones. The council majority passed a motion to hire the arborist to look at ve of the trees and also to replace any tree four or more inches in diameter that’s removed with two new ones. The improvement project, now in its early stages, calls for the installation of a new 12-water main as well as new sewer lines and storm drains, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and asphalt paving. Joe Raica Construction was awarded the work with its bid of $684,952. The project schedule is set from July 1 to Oct. 15.

On Friday, June 27th, the bank’s “Casual Because We Care” proceeds – some $324 – were presented to the Family Impact Center to further their mission. The “Casual Because We Care” program at 1st National Bank allows staff, for a nominal donation, to dress casual on the last Friday of each month. Each branch
of ce and department takes a turn in selecting a local charitable cause to bene t from the efforts. Customers may also donate through donation collection jars within the branches. Plus, First National Bank matches staff and customer proceeds. For June, First National’s Fowlerville Branch selected the Family Impact Center as the benefactor of the bank’s “Casual Because We Care” program. The Family Impact Center works hand in hand with local communities to help bring restoration to individuals and families in need by offering a client-choice food pantry, educational resources, support groups, counseling services and mentoring programs. Ron Long, President/CEO at First National said, “1st
National takes great pride in adding value to and giving back to the communities we serve.” “Our staff is second to none and the “Casual Because We Care” program is just one shining example of how we go above and beyond, especially when it comes to the community,” he added.

The Family Adventure Camp program at Heart of the Shepherd Lutheran Church in Howell will be here before you know it. What makes us a little different than some of the Vacation Bible School programs that are out there is that what we do is geared toward entire families. We really believe the entire family should have the chance to join in on all the fun to make it a family affair. The Family Adventure Camp is completely free...all it costs is your time. This year’s Family Adventure Camp runs from 5:30-8pm, July 28-31 at the church, which is on Burkhart Road between Mason Road and Interstate 96. The theme this year is Weird Animals that explores Jesus’ One-of-a-Kind Love. It’s going to be a FUNtastic time for families - for moms, dads, kids and grandparents and grandkids, with dinner at 5:30pm, followed by songs, games, lessons and crafts for the whole family. We’ll have you home by 8pm. Family Adventure Camp wraps up Sunday, August 3 with a picnic, games and activities at the church after the 10:30am Sunday Family Adventure Camp worship service. We, as parents and grandparents, along with our children and grandchildren, need to grow, too, in our faith and love so we can set a positive example because we have a great responsibility over the physical well-being of our children/grandchildren as well as their spiritual well-being. Our Family Adventure Camp is designed to help our families do just that. Please join us.

Fowlerville resident recalls selling hundreds of hula hoops during three-day event Back in the late 1950’s, when hula hoops hit the national scene, local resident Arnie Luttrell worked at the Sears store in downtown Pontiac. “It was a very big and important shopping center back then,” he noted. Sears decided to do a Hula Hoop promotion and brought in a carnival type trailer and placed it in front of the store. “There was a Hula Hoop craze on TV and radio at the time and the managers decided to take advantage of the interest,” he said. Arnie worked in the hardware department at the time and was asked to act the part of a carnival barker, complete with red and black striped sweater, derby hat, and cigar and to sell the hula hoops outside the trailer on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. “The trailer was equipped with a turntable, and I played the ‘Hula Hoop’ song by Teresa Brewer,” Arnie recalled. “A young daughter of one of our employees demonstrated the hula hoop on a platform.” “One of my lingos was ‘Hula Hoops, Hula Hoops, come get yourself one, and you can have a barrel of fun!” he said. The promotion drew crowds of 200 to 300 people at a time to the front of the store, eager to purchase the circular tube. He said that there were even those who just drove up to get their hoops, paid for them, and then drove away. “We had 172 dozen to start and on Friday evening we had to send to Detroit for more,” he said. “We received 36 dozen and lled the trailer again.” Back then the hula hoops were only available in solid colors of red, black, yellow and blue. They were priced at 97 cents, plus 3 cents sales tax…an even dollar. Over the three-day period, Arnie sold over 2,000 hula hoops. “The irony was that I couldn’t hula hoop myself,” he laughed. “Back then I made $60 a week plus one percent of everything I sold. I made some extra money that weekend.” Because of the great sales, an attempt was made to get this feat listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. They wrote back to explain that they couldn’t accept it since this was a commercial promotion. “I do believe I set a record for one person selling of hula hoops in a short period of time,” he said. Arnie shared his story after reading in the Fowlerville News & Views that a Hula Hoop contest is being held at the Fowlerville Family Fair during the Friday “Kids World News” Day event. The event and contest are sponsored by the newspaper. “Seeing that the hula hoop is still around and still being enjoyed by kids brought back memories of that sale and the craze that hula hoops were causing at the time,” he added.

To be Mindful of Many ThingsHe struggles with rights with wrongs
Life closes in nights are longWinters are cold the light isn’t strong
How can I help him sing his song?His talents and passions run deepAngers, frustrations, let go, weep
Cry for the poorCry for what’s no longer any more
Cry for innocence, for senseFor those that need to repent
Let go of the pain, let it rain, let it rainAs though he’ll be left behind
He struggles with timeLets it play on his mind
He’s driven to ll every moment in some wayTo be worthy of the day
I admire him yet somehow I’d like him to knowThat time also allows us to grow
To dream, to be mindful of many things

New State of
donated to Fowlerville Senior Center by senator A new State of Michigan ag was donated to the Fowlerville Senior Center last Tuesday, compliments of state Senator Joe Hune. The ag ew over the state capitol on May 8 of this year. The ag was donated as part of the Center’s recent renovation to the exterior of its building on North Collins Street. “We wanted to re-do the front end and make it look more attractive,” said Dean Snider, president of the Fowlerville Senior Citizen group. “We removed the shrubbery, put in sod, planted owers in the ower box, and installed a white picket-style fence along the front with gravel underneath.” He noted that the work was done by Nathan Wilkinson of Premium Lawn Service, a Fowlerville area lawn care and landscaping business. In addition, the ag pole and exterior widow sills are getting a fresh coat of paint, and a couple of the existing trees have been relocated. “This is part of the improvements we have been doing here at the Center, both inside and out,” Snider said. He added that the group’s rst vice president, Katherine Arnot, came up with the idea of putting up the fence as a way to enhance the front of the building. Hearing of the work being done at the Center, Senator Hune and his of ce decided to donate a new state ag. “Please accept this ag as a token of my great esteem and pride for the Fowlerville Senior Center and the tremendous work this organization does to serve our senior residents from Fowlerville and the entire surrounding area,” Hune wrote in a certi cate that was also presented to the center. “I hope this
ag proudly ies and brings you all much joy.”

Vacation Bible School plans in place at St. John’s Lutheran Church July 27-31 Local youth are invited to participate in “Jungle Safari” Vacation Bible School beginning Sunday, July 27 through Thursday, July 31. Dinner will be served to the kids and their families at 6:00 p.m. and a time of worship will kick things off at 6:30 p.m. Then “crews” of kids will go on to stations to learn of God as Creator, Provider, Protector, Savior and King. The congregation has a long history of offering VBS to the community, and a great group of volunteer leaders who help kids not only feel welcome, but develop a relationship and understanding of who Jesus is to them. Parents are encouraged to register their children prior to the start. Call the church at 517-223-9108 or e-mail [email protected]. Please note that children ages three and four are welcome in our preschool class but we request they be potty trained.
