Her schedule includes: College Prep English and Comp., BST, Film and Music as Lit, Algebra II, Consumers Math, and Creative Expressions. Bree’s favorite teacher is Mrs. Ording, who teaches her favorite class, Creative Expressions. Bree likes Creative Expressions because she enjoys expressing herself through her writing.

I can always count on Bree to participate in class discussions!” After high school, Bree plans to go to medical school.

Fowlerville Council approves 2 variance requests from Monument Engineering

By Steve Horton The Fowlerville Village Council unanimously approved two variance requests from Monument Engineering Group Associates (MEGA) at the conclusion of a Zoning Board of Appeals hearing on Monday, Sept. 22. This hearing was a resumption of an earlier session held two weeks before when the requests were tabled for further consideration. One variance is to build an accessory building at the company’s 638 S. Grand Avenue site that would be a garage-style structure measuring 24 by 24 feet or 576 square feet. The second variance is to allow an existing storage shed of 96 square feet to remain on the property. The company offers surveying and engineering services and wants the extra room to store its supplies and as a place to do maintenance on the

At the initial ZBA hearing on Sept. 8, the majority on the board (while not taking a vote) indicated they preferred only one building, the larger one, and seemed receptive to a proposal from trustee Jerry Bell that the variance be granted with the condition that the driveway be paved. The issue of the two separate lots was also brought up. The zoning ordinance does not allow an accessory building to be built on a lot without a principal structure (home or

She had recommended that

At the resumed meeting, Hood reviewed the application and went back over several details. She noted that the company owner, Allan Pruss, had changed the site plan to show that the building would be a garage-style structure and not a pole barn and showed how the parking lot would operate with the door being in the direction that was suggested by council. “The sticky question that came out of the last meeting was paving the driveway and parking lot,” Hood said and then noted that she had looked into the matter, including talks with the owner as well as the Village engineer, Joe White. Hood said that she did not recommend paving and gave a couple of key reasons. One was that paving the area might result in needing to create a retention area for water. “A gravel drive is considered 50 percent impervious (to

it would cost at least $18,000. This would be in addition to the expense of the new building and the possibility of having to create a retention area. The owner estimated the building would be $15,000. “Normally when we impose conditions on a variance, we try to do so at a scale where the condition is relative to what the applicant is asking,” she said. “If a larger investment was being made here, then the situation might be different. But we would be asking him to pay more than twice what he had planned to with this improvement.” Pruss, who also spoke to council, said that the main purpose of the existing, smaller building would be to store the mower and other equipment used to maintain the property. “This keeps it apart and makes it easier to use,” he noted, explaining why he’d like to keep the smaller building rather than having to remove it. As for the need of the larger structure, he said, “A lot

place to do maintenance work.” Pruss said that he’s done several things to improve the appearance of the property since acquiring the business in 2010, including painting the exterior, removing a damaged tree, and resurfacing the driveway and parking lot with new gravel. He added that his business has been growing and has gone from two to ten employees. He told council that he did not wish to incur the expense of paving the driveway and parking lot. “I feel we are already ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant with our designated parking spot which is next to a paved sidewalk,” he said. “I didn’t see anything in the ADA Act that requires a paved driveway.” Bell, when proposing that the driveway and parking area be paved as a condition for granting the variance, had raised the question of the business being ADA compliant due to the graveled surface as well as the fact that new businesses have to have paved driveways and parking lots. Council trustee Cindy Salfate thanked Pruss for “investing in the community” and then asked him how many clients

“One or two a week,” Pruss replied. He added that 40 to 50 percent of his work comes from clients in the Traverse City area. Council trustee Mary Helfmann, in her comment, said: “We’ve always been business friendly. I think we need to be

Autumn’s Transitions Few changes in any segment of Michigan’s seasons offer the variety that occurs just before Indian Summer. Anything

typical. That’s why I built our cabin halfway up the lower northern peninsula, to intercept these changes and why I’ll always remember the following with a smile. Even before the boat had been pulled up and tied to the leaning willow, a penetrating coolness had begun to settle in. Two hours earlier it had been as warm as July and the bass and pike had been as active as June. But as the sun dipped and then disappeared, wisps of fog crept out over the lake’s coves.

The trucks headlights reached out into the cottony fog as we headed back. My friend wanted to open the bow season in the morning, at the head of the swale near my cottage. It was a half mile west of the building and we still needed to

of the bass we’d seen near the sunken trees in the lake, of the numbers of deer tracks I’d observed in the area near my cottage. In ten minutes the dark building loomed as a silhouette at the end of my driveway. We unloaded sleeping bags, a

well, and plugged in the hotplate for coffee. By nine o’clock we had our makeshift quarters ready. By then I had decided to go back one last time after those

less than hunting was also a factor. That way we could each “do our thing” in the dawn hours and I could pull the boat

through the thick haze along the pathway. He didn’t object for I would have only been hunting with a camera anyway. I had earlier decided that my schedule simply didn’t allow enough time to bow hunt this year. The path climbed and wound, and then climbed again to a ridge that skirted the swamp on the little lake’s south side. A gully, busy with fresh tracks crossed the ridge nearby and in moments we found a suitable ambush, even in the foggy darkness. Back to the cottage while the sounds of our own movement and a distant barking of a dog kept us company. The sleeping bags felt good as the damp stillness reached for us. We drank our coffee in the pre-dawn darkness, as we anticipated our morning until a four-wheeler ground by on the road. It signaled other hunters in the area and my friend should soon be on his stand. A quarter hour later as I reached to hook the boat trailer to the truck, something made me look east up the road. The silhouette of a plump deer, frozen against the rosy and foggy sky by curiosity, watched my every movement. We had not considered deer in this most handy place.

deer slipped out of sight and into the gray dawn. Deer and bass seldom consider Autumn’s transitions.

Physics for All Drivers?By Dr. Thomas Higby

In about 1948 I was learning to drive an automobile under the watchful eye of my mother, and we were returning home to Wyandotte from a visit to Grand Rapids. As we headed west through Livingston County, U.S. 16 (a.k.a. Grand River Avenue) had recently been redesigned removing sharp turns in favor of long smooth curves– three lanes, with a center lane for passing in both directions. It was a delight for me driving on this truly modern super-highway. Somehow, I found myself living and practicing medicine in Fowlerville in 1959. And traveling that same stretch of highway often at high speed, (probably never over 85mph) on trips to the hospital in Howell, always thankful for those carefully design curves. I was stopped by police more than once, but never ticketed. The last time I was stopped I had been called to administer anesthesia in a case of fetal distress due to prolapsed cord, in my mind one of the most dire emergencies. The deputy knew me and suggested that in such

It soon became apparent to the young doctor that this highway would be the scene of many automobile collisions. That center lane invited risky driving. In a passing situation

game probably happening from time to time. The curve at Owosso Road was especially dangerous. With the 65mph speed limit existing at that time, terrible crashes were inevitable, and I got blood on my hands frequently. As I think about those crashes, I am realizing that there are two distinct types of laws that come into play in such cases. One type consists of laws enacted by humans and enforced

If no one is looking and no damage results, those laws can be

and are regularly broken with impunity. At the worst, if seen

Laws of the second type need no police for enforcement. These are the laws of physics. If the driver goes off a bridge, goes around a curve too fast, or the car in front stops too fast,

assign the penalty, even if it is death. The usual high school physics course lays out the laws clearly, and the kinetic (motion) energy formula is of the most extreme importance (Energy = mass [weight] times the square of velocity). Thus, the car at 40 mph has four times the kinetic energy that it would at 20 mph, and at 80 mph sixteen times the energy, and at 100 mph 25 times. Why should we care about such details? Well, that energy doesn’t

At 80 mph it will need sixteen times the distance to stop the car, compared to 20mph, and it also follows, to allow for stopping, that one needs sixteen times the distance to the car that one is following. What about centrifugal force – the force that causes an

the road going around a curve. It is a basic rule that for every curve and every vehicle there exists a velocity at which the vehicle will spin out of control, slide sideway or roll over. For the curves on Grand River Avenue that velocity is fortunately very high. That velocity is very much affected by road surface, tire quality, and degree of banking built into the road. I could name at least three promising young Fowlerville people who met their ends due to worn out tires.Those harsh and unforgiving laws of physics need to be understood by all drivers, and certainly many of them are

Should passing high-school physics be required for

drivering instructors? (Should the reader wonder, my mother did take physics 100 years ago, graduating in 1915.) I am sure it would be a tough sell, especially as I suspect that many of our legislators, who are often lawyers, are not highly credentialed in the sciences. I loved high-school physics and to a somewhat lesser degree college physics. In those courses many otherwise mysterious things become explained. Why did the sixteen year old girl who would become a mother take physics? Easy question. Because that was where the boys were.

Senior Spotlight-- Emily JuddBy Hayley Wagner & Taylor Chase

Emily Marilyn Judd will be graduating in the spring of 2015 with a bright future ahead of her. Judd is the daughter of Jeff and Sandy Judd and the younger sister of Jon, Erica, and Owen, all of whom graduated from Webberville High School. During Judd’s thirteen years at Webberville, she has made

wide range of activities including: volleyball for four years; track for two years; sideline cheer for three years; competitive cheer for one year; softball for two years; Project ROOTS for three years; and National Honor Society for three years. “Emily is a great teammate,” said senior Vivian Gaffney. “She always has a positive attitude and is really motivational.” Over the years, Judd has been an outstanding student. On top of her high school courses, she has managed to dual enroll at Lansing Community College during her junior and senior years. This has earned her 4.0 college GPA while still maintaining a 3.8 cumulative high school GPA. Calculus teacher Travis Brown says that he will miss Emily’s “Insight and foresight…she could see what was to come with little effort,” and that, “she is who she is without allowing anybody else to tell her who she is or worrying about what they might say.” Brown is not the only teacher that holds Judd in high regard. “My favorite quality about Emily is her friendly personality,” said science teacher Jennifer Andrechek. “She may seem quiet but her hidden outgoing side has resulted in her having many great friends and many positive relationships with teachers. Making these connections will serve her well in life beyond Webberville High School. “Emily is unique in that she never seems to get frustrated,” she added. “She is always able to maintain a positive attitude and because of this positive attitude she is able to effectively encourage her peers.” Judd has made many friends during her time at Webberville, “Emily is a great friend and can always make me smile,” said senior, Taylor Chase. “She is an amazing person and is capable of doing anything that she sets her mind to. We’ve had so many fun times together and I can’t wait to have more.” After graduation she plans to continue her love of science and pursue a bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Northern Michigan University. “My advice to the underclassmen is to have fun because high school doesn’t last forever,” said Judd. She is sad to be leaving, but looks forward to what is to come and has a great appreciation for her high school career she attained at Webberville. “My favorite thing about Webberville is that it is so small, and I know everybody,” said Judd, “It’s also my least favorite part because it just means I’m going to miss more people.”

Webberville Woman’s Advance Club Meeting

Submitted by Betty Dodge The Woman’s Advance Club of Webberville met on Sept. 15 at the Webberville High School. This is the 121st year of the club which was founded in 1893 by eight local ladies. At the present time members include: Sallie Brodie, Rosemary Cahaney, Cleo Chase, Betty Dodge, Jean Johnson, Marge Lawson, Marlene McKinney, Jill Moon, Lynn Reed, Kathy Ward, Nancy Webb, Kathe Westbrook, and Janice Wheeler. In addition to the members, there was one guest at the meeting, Wanda Hummel, along with the speaker Wanda Showerman Kester. We started with a social hour, hosted by President Nancy Webb and Marge Lawson. Our program was a presentation on the book Wheelchairs and Ironing Boards by Kester, a local author and granddaughter of the late Marge Showerman. She stressed that everyone has a story to tell, however most people don’t leave a paper trail of handwritten letters or family histories. While the book cover is fascinating, the content is very interesting, thought provoking, and written in a humorous, honest and inspiring manner. What an enjoyable book review we heard, and I personally can’t wait to read it. The club has several monthly programs lined up for the coming 2014-15 year: --Oct. 20, 1:30 p.m. at the home of Sallie Brodie. The program is the history of Black Folk Dolls and will be presented by Sallie. --Nov. 18, 1:30 p.m. at the MSU Planetarium with Jean Johnson and Nancy Webb serving as hostesses. Lunch will be held prior to the show at Brody Hall. For both events, call either hostess for information. We welcome guests, including men to this event. --Dec. 15, 12 noon will be Christmas Potluck hosted by Lynn Reed at her home. --March 16, 2 p.m. at Marsh Pointe features a Sing-a-Long with the residents. The meeting will be hosted by Nancy Webb, Marge Lawson, and Kathy Ward. --April 20, 2 p.m. the club will tour the Michigan State Capital. The meeting hostess is Jill Moon. --May 18, 1:30 p.m. the club will gather at the home of Jill Moon. The program will feature Antique Kitchen Tools and will be presented by Jill’s husband, Fred Moon. --June 15, 1:30 p.m. the club meets at the home of Jean Johnson. This meeting will be a potluck luncheon and includes several fun games. Anyone who wishes to attend a meeting can contact any member. Projects for the year include collecting personal items for the Ronald McDonald House and raising money for Christmas presents for Marsh Pointe’s residents, for scarves, mittens, and hats to put on the Friends of the Webberville Library mitten tree, for Christmas cards used by the high school journalism class for their holiday project, for paper products to donate to the Webberville Food Bank, and more.

—Area Deaths— Livingston County students receive drivers training at automotive test track National program promotes smart driving among teens A local automotive test track and proving ground was the site of specialized training this past weekend that could save the lives of young drivers. For the sixth consecutive year, FT Techno of America (FTTA) helped high school students improve their driving skills, while increasing awareness of the dangers of distractions like cell phone use and texting

while driving. The program is a partnership between FTTA and the Tire Rack Street Survival School, a national initiative that teaches teens how to drive better, safer and smarter. Training took place Sat., Sep. 27, at FTTA’s 950-acre test track and proving ground in Handy Township. FTTA, which has donated use of the facility since the program began here in 2009, is home to leading-edge testing and analytical technologies for numerous automotive customers, which depend on the facility for reliability testing and product evaluation. Mike Benjamin, Operations Manager, FTTA, said the teen

safety is a priority at the research facility. “FTTA was designed with safety in mind,” says Benjamin. “Everything we do, everything we touch, is based on the safety of the drivers and technicians who use our facility, as well as the team members who are employed by FTTA. Hosting this important program is an extension of our work,

drivers.” Benjamin said nowadays drivers are more distracted than ever because of cell phone use, and motor vehicle crashes remain the leading (and most preventable) cause of death among 13-19 year olds in the United States. He said the course will include substantive discussion on distracted driving and texting. The full-day program includes a mix of classroom and hands-on exercises with an instructor alongside each student in their own vehicle. In the classroom students will learn about proper seating and hand positions, mirror placement, the concept of the contact patch with the tires, theories of weight transfer, and the use of long distance vision and situational awareness. On the course, students will have the chance to experience real life situations in a safe environment, learning skid control on a wet skid pad; lane changes/accident avoidance maneuvers; and braking exercises. Students will also drive on FTTA’s ceramic tile test tracks simulating ice and snow. “We feel strongly about hosting this program again and helping young drivers in our community to become safer, smarter drivers,” said Benjamin. “The experience will also provide students a glimpse of a real-world auto engineering application, and an opportunity to work with experienced automotive engineers, who test cars for a living.” FT Techno of America is an independent research and development facility offering test track rental and turnkey testing services on a 950 acre proving ground in Fowlerville, MI.
