4-H Northern Neighbors try hand as macramé artisans The long practiced craft of tying square knots together in a decorative fashion is known as macramé. It is elieved this craft rst dates
back to Arabic weavers who became skilled artisans weaving the extra threads from loomed cloth into towels, shawls and veils. Interestingly enough British and American sailors picked up the craft while spending sea long voyages adrift making hammocks, bell fringes and belts. These crafts were often used as barter for trade as the craft spread to China and Africa. Fowlerville’s own Northern Neighbors tried their hand as macramé artisans under the tutelage of Carrie Pung as they crafted unique bracelets and key chains.

* * *JV GIRLS SOCCER The JV girls’ soccer team continues to work hard this season. Despite injuries and a changing lineup, these girls work hard and improve as a team and individually. Despite lopsided losses to Haslett and Dewitt, both 8-0, the Glads kept their heads up as they entered the Martian Cup against host Goodrich and Swartz Creek. In the rst game, Fowlerville came out at and did not play its usually aggressive style in the rst half. This led to many opportunities for Goodrich, but Roz Opolka stayed strong in the net for the Glads and kept the score 0-0 at half. The girls came out on re in the second half and dominated possession and pace of play. Katie Dotson, Alexis Lindig, and Rachel Longhi had scoring chances and the Glads held the ball on the Martian side of the eld almost the entire half. A few mental errors and the fact that Fowlerville could not put the ball in the net led to a 2-0 Goodrich victory. A talented Swartz Creek team awaited Fowlerville on the second game. Once again, the Glads came out at and gave the opposing team way too many scoring chances. Swartz Creek climbed out to a 5-0 half time lead. Fowlerville regained its composure in the second half and had a few chances to score, but could not capitalize. Sawrtz Creek did and, despite Opolka playing well in goal and making a few
outstanding saves, the Glads lost 8-0. Although the weekend ended up with 2 losses, the girls showed character and strength in two halves of the games. Playing especially well for the tournament were Bethany Trites at the mid eld position and Erin Vielbig, seeing her rst action on defense, as they
were named to the all-tournament team. The Glads’ record stands at 1-7-1 as they enter Bronze Cup action in the CAAC.
* * *BOYS TRACK-Ionia Invitational The junior high boys track team competed hard at the Foy Relays in Ionia. There were several outstanding performances including Nathan Southgate – 39’11” in the shot put, both Chris Davis and Caden Collins – 2:29 in the 800m, and Tyler Steinhelper – 5:33 in the 1600m.

ght for a smart government that puts people rst,” said Pollesch.

Strange Little Critters As a boy of 10 or thereabouts, I moved with my family to the outskirts of Battle Creek. There I spent the majority of my spare time discovering natures tiny creatures that lived in streams, ponds, and swamps, a brisk walk or bike ride away. The rst two discoveries were made in City imits Creek. This was appropriate because the stream held a few chunky brook trout. The discoveries were fresh water brook lampreys and fresh water shrimp; probably know as fairy shrimp to science. Both creatures exist in numerous subspecies
according to ikipedia. The lampreys that spend ve of their seven years of life buried in the sands of stream headwaters before spawning and dying are on the decrease making their discovery rare. The shrimp according to scienti c examination show their numbers increasing. An interesting sidelight is that these tiny crustaceans are fed on specially by brook trout which gives the predator a pinkish/orange colored esh. Another unusual discovering happens at night in the run off of melting winter snow. It involves a type of worm larger than a redworm and smaller than the nightcrawler or typical earthworm. This creature, seldom over two inches long, usually occurs in swampy land. I’ve often encountered while digging wild leeks. The reason for including them here is because of their unusual means of migration. Seen at night by ashlight they resemble a fork full of spaghetti drifting along entangled under the night sky, apparently seeking new living quarters. Still another little critter becoming familiar to many of us is a sh, a guppy. riginally common across the northern edge of South America and several islands of the Caribbean, the guppy now resides in much of the world. nly the coldest nations claim them simply as aquarium pets. In Michigan the destiny of guppies is varied. Popular as a child’s pet, they now are frequently found in outdoor ponds. Environmentally substituted for toxic sprays they are used to control mosquitos. Given to live births rather to egg laying, guppies reproduce faster than predators can eat them. Hence their popularity in decorative garden ponds and golf course water holes. If you’re a golfer and haven’t had to keep scratching lately thank a guppy. Most of all of these little critters, it occurs to me, might have shared elementary classroom aquariums with pollywogs and tadpoles. But few ever did. nly recently did I discover why this might have been true. It was my wife Shirley that clued me in. She was a fourth grader she recalled, when the teacher during a science lesson explained how tadpoles turned into toads and it would be fun to observe their development in classroom. Shirley raised her hand and said there was a pond near her house and she had seen tadpoles swimming around. The following morning she reported to school with a mason jar full of water and tadpoles. They were dismissed later for Spring break and when the students returned it was to a room full of mosquitos. So much for knowledge and a few easy mistakes. There are still other strange water creatures, even here in Michigan.
igglers, and freshwater jelly sh are two of them. If you wish to know more you do the research.

Student of the Week- Tresa BrakeBy Brittany Buhler
Congratulations to senior Tresa Brake on being nominated for this week’s “Student of the Week”! Tresa is the daughter of Jim and Carol Brake. She has six siblings- Alan, Lindsay, James, Jasmine, Noel, and Isaiah. Tresa’s schedule consists of Psychology, Personal Living, News Broadcasting, Personal Relations, College Math & Trig, and AP Language. She says that Psychology is her favorite class because “it’s interesting how crazy the brain is!” She enjoys having Ms. Curd as a teacher because she feels like she can relate to her and she feels comfortable around her. Tresa’s favorite thing about Fowlerville High School is the great sports programs, volleyball in general. She’s been a part of the varsity team for the past 3 years and has even received a full ride scholarship to LCC due to her excellence on the court. Tresa was nominated by Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Jonas, Mrs. Tomassi, Mrs. Ording, and Mrs. Hardenbrook. Mrs. Thomas said, “Tresa is a wonderful young woman and is an excellent role model for the students in our district. She is a multi-sport varsity athlete, was in the musical, a member of Interact and SADD, is hard working, polite, responsible, respectful, a fantastic student and a very good representative of the student body!” Mr. Jonas commented, “Tresa was in my classes last year and she was wonderful!” Mrs. Hardenbrook said, “Tresa has been an integral part of my volleyball team. She has been a team captain, leader, and such a hard worker for the past three years. I am so proud that she has earned a scholarship to play in college.”

The Glads couldn’t put the game away and Haslett came back in the 7th to win 7-6. In the second game the boys came out with some intensity and wanted to earn the win which they got, winning 4-2. Mitchell Hubert pitched great only giving up 1 run followed by Wyatt Thomas pitching in relief only giving up 1 run as well striking out 4.

But it wasn’t enough as missed opportunities led to a devastating 3-1 defeat. In the second game, the Highlander’s quality at-bats got the best of the Gladiators in a 13-0 loss. In the game, the Gladiator pitching staff gave up just 6 hits.

Senior Spotlight-- Aaron EberlyBy Sam Belongia and Jessica Eberly
Describing himself as funny, caring, and intelligent, Aaron Eberly really lives up to his own expectations. Son of Jennifer and Shannon Eberly, older brother to Jared, and younger brother to Afton Eberly. Jared is currently a junior at Webberville and Afton is a graduate, class of 2011. “I am so lucky to grow up in such a big family that is so
close and supportive,” Eberly explains.
ost of his time lled with school activities, Eberly is a part of Webberville’s National Honors Society (NHS), Future Farmers of America (FFA), and is also part of 4-H. “4-H has always been fun and a great way to meet new and friendly people” Eberly says, “It also teaches you to become more open and active in your community” Eberly also spends a majority of his time playing a variety of sports wit basketball, baseball, and track being among his favorites. “Sports has always been something I have loved to be a part of” Eberly said. “It is a good way to bond with my friends and just have fun.” His inspiration comes from AP U.S. History with Mr. Josh Moulton, and he will use that inspiration to be a successful student at LCC, where he plans to start off his college career. “(Ten years from now) I envision myself with a job I love, a nice car, and my own house-- looking to just enjoy life,” Eberly said. Attending Webberville Schools since kindergarten, Eberly will miss his memorable lunch table conversations the most, as well as his closest friends. “My favorite thing about Aaron is that he is always in a good
mood,” fellow senior and close friend Caleb Simpson tells us. Eberly has this piece of advice for the underclass, “Always
do your homework and stay on top of what you need to get done, It makes life easier.” Aside from school, Eberly greatly enjoys many outdoor
activities. “I like to hunt, shoot guns, play basketball, play volleyball, and hang out with family,” Eberly explains. When he leaves, Eberly has one thing he would like to say to his friends; “I’ll be seeing you soon!”

Council vacates manager position, but ordinance complicates situation
By Steve Horton At its meeting last Monday, May 19, the majority of council voted to “vacate the current Village Manager/Zoning Administrator position” held by Village President Wayne Copeland and to appoint Village Clerk Kathryn Arledge to assume those duties with assistance from John McCurdy, the Village s nance consultant owever, a check of the governing ordinance by Village Attorney David Stoker after the meeting indicated that the trustee’s goal of removing Copeland and replacing him was a more complicated situation Arledge the next day noted that “according to the Village
rdinance the council trustees cannot appoint a manager he manager is re uired to be appointed by the president ” While council can remove a manager, the Village president under the ordinance automatically assumes those responsibilities Copeland, thus, might not now have the title of manager, but as president he still has those duties n addition, the president under the statute has up to 9 days to ll the vacancy nder that time line, any recommendation would not have to be made until early August which is only three months before the ovember election nder the current arrangement with Copeland, he is being paid $2,000 a month to be manager until the election Council, again under ordinance, cannot cut or eliminate that pay during this contracted period he move to remove Copeland as manager occurred in an action item that was put on the agenda for last Monday’s meeting by trustee Jerry ell t read “Discuss the Village Manager/Zoning Administrator position ” When that item came up, ell read the following motion “Due to the fact that we are in an election year; we do not want potential petitioners applying for the President’s position thinking that it pays $2 ,000 per year “Mr President move that
1 he current Village Manger/Zoning Administrator position be vacated effective immediately ”
Bell cited Sec 2-97(a) “(Manager) shall serve at the pleasure of the council and may be removed when the council deems it in the best interest of the Village ”
2 he President and Village Council appoint Kathy Arledge (the Village Clerk) as acting manger/zoning administrator as allowed by Sec 2-88(b) “may appoint or designate the manager during the absence of the manager ”
he Village President and Village Council designate John McCurdy (as) Director of Finance and in-house administration
Bell cited Sec 2-88(a) “President may with the concurrence of Council delegate some of these responsibilities to other village employees or contractors during the vacancy ”
No additional pay increases will be made as a result of these appointments
his change is effective immediately and shall expire no sooner than Feb 1, 201
he motion was passed by a -1 vote without any discussion or further explanation from council members Copeland asked Village Attorney David Stoker if he had any comments “ his is a policy decision,” Stoker replied he attorney did note that council cannot bind future councils and, after the November election, a new council could change the Feb 1 date
Copeland said that given the circumstances he’d vote no’ Asked for comments during a recess, Bell declined to elaborate on his motion “ ’m going to take the high road and not comment on this,” he said n published comments to other media, Bell said, “We decided to remove our current administration and supply someone who is not an elected of cial, so it doesn’t convey to the general public that this (manager’s) position goes with the elected position ” While Copeland is receiving $2,000 per month to handle the duties of manager, under the current agreement he does not receive any compensation as president n a motion earlier this year, council had adopted an ordinance that returned the pay for the Village president position back to $2 10 per meeting effective after the November election
his was the amount of compensation Copeland received prior to becoming the acting manager nder this new ordinance, language was also inserted that after the election the president will not automatically assume the duties of the manager if or when this position becomes vacant as has been the past practice Copeland took over the duties after the former manager, Joseph Merrucci, resigned in April 2012 Council had previously decided not to ll the position of fulltime DPW supervisor and instead had assigned those duties to the manager n a subse uent decision, after the departure of Merrucci, council voted to name Copeland as a part-time manager and negotiated the $2,000-per-month pay At the same time council elevated the clerk position from part-time to fulltime and gave Arledge a pay increase for the extra work Copeland has pointed out that these administrative changes have resulted in a savings of thousands of dollars for the Village n fact, council will be holding a budget hearing at its next meeting on June 2 At an earlier meeting of the council’s
nance committee, preliminary gures showed a surplus of around $ 00,000 in the general fund Some of this will be kept for the fund e uity he recommendation is that the rest of this surplus be put into a special fund to pay for future large-scale capital-improvement projects and equipment purchases n the Call to the Public’ at the end of the meeting Paul
armon, owner of armon eal state, voiced his opposition to the action ’m very discouraged by this action,” he said “ feel personal agendas are at play ” armon had spoke at an earlier council meeting, stating that he felt Copeland was doing a good job as manager Arledge said that she is unable to accept the manager’s position because the president, not the council, has to make this appointment eports indicate that Stoker was not consulted prior to the meeting to clarify the ordinance and how the matter could or should be handled or what the consequences would be he timing of the move was unexpected t appeared that council, in approving the ordinance to return the president’s pay to its previous amount, would leave the current set-up in place until after the November election he president’s of ce and three of the six trustee seats will be on the ballot

Michigan Senate ReportBy Joe Hune,22nd District
Protecting gun owner rights I recently supported legislation to ensure that rearms records remain con dential, available only to law enforcement of cials, under certain conditions. This bill closes a loophole so that personal information cannot be released in Michigan as it has been in the eastern portion of the country recently. In 2012, a New York newspaper published the names and addresses along with an interactive map showing the locations of permitted gun owners in several New York counties. This sparked outrage from gun owners who felt their privacy was violated and that they had become the target of anti-gun factions. Senate Bill 49, which protects information collected from registered gun owners and concealed pistol license (CPL) holders under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), is part of an overarching nine-bill package made up of both House and Senate bills. nder the legislation, rearms records could only be accessed for the following reasons: --The individual has committed an offense with the pistol that violates a state or federal law; --The individual poses a threat to self or others; --The rearm was used during the commission of a crime that violates a state or federal law; and --To ensure the safety of a peace of cer. This is a step in the right direction for the privacy of gun owners. Such disclosure is not only a threat to public safety and an invasion of privacy, but it serves no legitimate public service. This legislation will strengthen measures in Michigan’s current law to ensure that all gun owners’ personal information
is not jeopardized by those looking to infringe on our Second Amendment rights. The bill is currently being considered in the House.

Michigan House ReportCindy Denby,47th District
On Monday we will be celebrating Memorial Day. This is a special day in our country that is dedicated to honoring those who paid the ultimate price defending our country. It is heartwarming to see the amount of community support that happens over the course of this weekend in order to honor our veterans and remember those military members who lost their lives in the line of duty. I look forward to attending some of the Memorial Day events around Livingston County and showing my support for these men and women and I hope to see many of you there. Michigan has always had deep roots in Memorial Day celebrations. In a small group of Michigan residents rst decorated the graves of Michigan soldiers buried at Arlington Heights on what was known as Decorations Day which later became what we know as Memorial Day. Michigan was also the rst northern state to recogni e Decorations Day as a state holiday in 1871. It is heartening to know how supportive Michigan has been for hundreds of years of these brave men and women and it is our job to keep the tradition of supporting and honoring our veterans alive. As a state legislator I have had a special opportunity to be a part of legislation that helps Michigan veterans readjust to civilian life and have access to all the bene ts they have earned through their service. It is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. The Legislature recently enacted a number of new laws allowing soldiers with technical training as an EMT,
re ghter, mechanical contractor, plumber or a number of other vocations to use that experience when gaining civilian licensure. This small but meaningful change will help our veterans get back to work more quickly when their time in uniform is over. Michigan now has treatment courts speci cally for our veterans. These courts recogni e that many veterans have dif culties readjusting after returning from deployment. The Veteran Treatment Courts give veterans the ability to get treatment for mental illness and substance abuse issues instead of just sending them to jail. In addition thanks to recently enacted legislation veterans can now put a special veteran designation on their driver’s license or identi cation card similar to an organ donor designation. This allows Michigan veterans to identify themselves easier and have better access to the bene ts they have earned through their military service. I am proud to see Michigan show such dedication to our veterans. We know that they have more than earned recognition for their incredible service and sacri ce for this country. I want to take this opportunity to again thank all the veterans and military members in our state for the incredible service they provide us with. I am honored to be a part of Memorial Day celebrations this weekend and will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure these men and women have the opportunities and the assistance they may need when returning from deployment and reentering civilian life.
