Training becomes realFREMONT In February, Spectrum
Health Gerber Memorial employees had theopportunity to test computerized manikinsthat function in many ways like real people.The manikins were provided by Region 6 ASPR/Homeland Security Bio Defense Net-work. The manikins are reproductions of thehuman body and can be programmed to re-ect certain physical scenarios.
Lung and heart sounds can be replicatedand treated by the EMT or physician and themanikin will in turn react to the treatment.The manikins can be adjusted to simulateseveral different physical problems. Duringa two-day period over 100 Spectrum HealthGerber Memorial employees and Life Am- bulance EMT-P staff came to the hospital to
learn about and test the educational purposesthese manikins provide. The reviews were ex-ceptional as everyone felt they could benetfrom the scenarios offered through these com-puterized manikins.
This technology was made availablethrough a grant from the Fremont Area Com-munity Foundation in Collaboration with by Region 6 ASPR/Homeland Security BioDefense Network. Spectrum Health GerberMemorial is planning to send ve RN clini-cal coordinators and four EMT -P from LifeAmbulance to the Region 6 Simulation Lab inMuskegon.
They will be trained to operate these com-puter manikins and bring education back toSpectrum Health Gerber Memorial regularly.

strikes in a row, in spite of shaking
hands and wobbly knees. His rst
300 ever earned him a thunderous
round of applause from a full house

Tri County Area Schools Extends
Community Survey Deadline
Survey to Gather Budget and Planning Input
The Tri County Area School District is extending the deadline for the
community survey from March 30th to April 15th.
Due to circumstances beyond the districts control, a delay occurred
in the mailing of the Community Survey reflecting a March 30 due
date. Therefore, the district is extending the due date to April 15th.
The District is facing many challenges in the coming years and we
want to be sure that everyone in our community has an opportunityto participate in the decision making process. Therefore, well be
extending survey deadline two weeks to make sure everyone has
sufficient time to respond.
The survey asks residents to help develop specific solutions to bud-
get shortfalls, as well as facility and technology needs. The survey
also address topics such as budgeting and board planning, district
communications, programs, facilities and overall satisfaction.
The goal of this process is to create a plan that reflects the goals
and priorities of our taxpayers, said Cumings. We want to under-
stand what people really want for our students and schools, and
look forward to this process.
A report on the survey results will be presented to the Board of Edu-
cation this spring. A compilation of survey questions and results will
also be posted on the District website. If you have questions regard-
ing the survey, please contact us at 616-636-5454.
We appreciate the communities continued support to Tri County
Area Schools in our vision to help every child achieve his/her best
future.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The weekend pole barn project. Your buddies are
coming over to help build your new pole barn. Very
nearby, the hole where the old septic tank was located
is still visible. Should you worry that someone might
fall in and hurt themselves? Well, its obviously a deep,
dangerous hole to be avoided, so your buddies will walk
around it, right? And if a buddy falls in, how could it be
your fault when its obviously a hole and she shouldnt
have walked so close? Besides, you dont really have the
money for the fill dirt right now.
Hottman versus Hottmanwas a 1993 case in which
2 of 3 judges on a Court of Appeals panel reversed alower court that had ruled in favor of the homeowner
who didnt put up scaffolding for himself and his
brothers when they came to help him reroof his 12/12
(!) pitch roof. One brother had fallen off the roof. The
homeowner had maintained that they all knew it was a
dangerous roof before they got on it, so how could it be
his fault? The trial court had agreed and threw the case
out. The Appeals Court disagreed.
The facts. In the fall of 1993 Richard Hottman was
remodeling his Oxford home. Richard enlisted the help
of his brothers, Randall and Robert, to reroof. Because
of the 12/12 (every 12 inches on the slope, the roof rose
12 inches up) roof pitch, Randall proposed they should
use roof jacks and build a temporary walkway to stand
on while working. However, Richard didnt have enough
jacks and wouldnt spring the money for more. So thebrothers nailed 2x4s to the plywood roofing to provide
a foothold and set to reroofing. Randall fell off the roof,
broke bones, but lived.
Admittedly foolish. During a deposition Randall agreed
that he wasnt paid for his services and hadnt expected
to be paid. He agreed that the family members regularly
helped one another with projects. In fact, Richard had
helped Randall work on his home. Randall admitted
knowing this was a dangerous job. Randall even
admitted he had been lets say - foolish, to get up on
the roof without scaffolding.
Still, Randall had sued, claiming that Richard had owed
him a duty of care, which Richard breached by failing
to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition.
The lower, Circuit, Court judge had concluded that theroof was such an open and obvious danger, what was
Randall thinking blaming Richard?
Wrong Reasons. As precedent for overthrowing the
Circuit Court judges decision, the Appeals Court
relied upon a famous case, Bertrand v Alan Ford, Inc,
a 1995 Michigan Supreme Court decision. In that case
the Supreme Court had stated that if the risk of harm
remains unreasonable, despite its obviousness or despite
knowledge of it by the invitee (Randall in this case),
then the circumstances may be such that the invitor
(Richard was the invitor as Randall was his visitor with
his permission) is required to undertake reasonable
precautions anyways.
So while Randall wasnt the smartest for getting up on hisbrothers roof, Randalls own negligence didnt negate
Richards duty to take reasonable care for Randalls
safety. The Court of Appeals sent the case back for a
jury to decide whether Richard had taken reasonable
care for Randalls safety.
My brothers keeper? I think the high court wanted
some teeth in the notion that we are our brothers keeper.
Just because Richard has two brothers who would walk
on a 12/12 pitch roof with him without scaffolding and
without complaint, foolishly, doesnt mean Richard
should have allowed it, especially when he had the power
to improve the safety of the situation. Richard knew it
was a bad deal for his brothers. But his pocketbook was
more important to him than they were. Not what some
would call reasonable care of ones brother.
Interestingly, one judge dissented. Judge Sawyer: IfRandall believed that those footholds did not adequately
alleviate the danger of working on the roof, he could
have declined to work on the roof unless a different
safety measure was utilized, such as the roof jacks that
he now argues should have been used. And I see his
point. In Judge Sawyers mind, there comes a time when
a situation can be so open and obvious that no sensible
person can be blamed for anothers foolishness.
If good sense was common sense, wed all have it.
Then again, seems to me these three brothers all had
the foolish gene, not just Randall. Wasnt a sensible
brother among them.
