Livingston County Animal Control Director Retiring in MarchLivingston County Animal Control Director Retiring in March

9/9/14 - The director of Livingston County Animal Control is retiring to head out west with her family. However, succession planning will be getting underway soon to try and hire a replacement prior to her departure. Debbie Oberle will be retiring effective at the end of March and has a lengthy history with Livingston County that spans years of volunteer work in the animal welfare arena and with the local Humane Society. Oberle tells WHMI she doesn’t know if retirement is really possible since animal welfare seems to be in her blood and started with the first cat she ever fostered 25 years ago. She’ll be moving out west sometime next summer with her family but figures she’ll eventually work her way back into the field again. Oberle will have served in her current position for four and a half years by the time she departs and commended all of the staff, volunteers and rescue groups. She says a lot has been accomplished and adoptions are up, intake is down and the number of cases being processed are also way up. Oberle is said to have implemented several positive procedural changes to improve the atmosphere of the animal shelter as well as enforcement. County officials say Oberle has built positive relationships with animal rescue groups and two programs under her leadership have greatly reduced overcrowding at the animal shelter, also noting the prompt response to animals-at-large and abuse/neglect complaints. Oberle will be involved in the hiring process and the request to fill the position was made several months in advance to help ensure a smooth transition, but also in part because finding a replacement could prove to be a difficult endeavor. Some surrounding counties and others across the state have been experiencing difficulties filling their respective animal control director positions. The request will go before the county finance committee this Wednesday morning and then the full board for final approval. (JM)

9/9/14 - The Marion Township man accused of a fatal road rage shooting last week will be back in court this morning. 69-year-old Martin Edward Zale, who police say shot 43-year-old Derek Flemming at the intersection of Chilson Road and Grand River a week ago today, is charged with open murder. An exam conference is set for 8am in front of 53rd District Court Judge Carol Sue Reader at which time a hearing date and other issues will likely be decided. Flemming’s wife claims that Zale was driving erratically as they headed eastbound on Grand River last Tuesday to pick up their children from the first day of school. Amy Flemming says Zale passed them at one point and then began braking and accelerating multiple times. When they got to the intersection of Grand River and Chilson, Derek Flemming got out of his vehicle and approached Zale’s pickup to ask what his issue was. That’s when police say Zale lowered his window and shot Flemming in the face, killing him. Zale, who remains jailed without bond, faces up to life in prison if convicted. (JK)

9/9/14 - The kickoff session of the annual Howell Chamber of Commerce breakfast series started the day off with encouraging news for local residents. Speakers at today’s Good Morning Livingston gathering agreed that Livingston County’s economy is on track to surpass 2006, the previous high point just prior to the recession. Livingston County Administrator Belinda Peters shared positive economic indicators for 2014 including a decline in foreclosed and delinquent properties this year, as well as a dip in delinquent taxes. Peters says there is an increase in building permits for the area and the real estate market has spiked. She tells WHMI the construction will bring more than new businesses, but also new jobs and a positive cycle of economic activity. The Howell Area Chamber of Commerce is also encouraging the economy with providing scholarship opportunities to further county employee’s education. The Margaret Starkey Scholarship was awarded to 15 students that work in Livingston County and are nominated by their employers. Good Morning Livingston recognized the recipients this morning with a $1,000 scholarship each to continue their schooling. (DK/JK)

Howell Council Puts Highland/Howell Property Up For SaleHowell Council Puts Highland/Howell Property Up For Sale

9/9/14 - After years of discussion over the Highland/Howell property, Howell City Council is moving forward with the best option for the land. Council met last evening and decided from four possibilities which would be most beneficial to the city. The parcel in question is a 210-acre area located north of I-96 between Lucy Road and South Michigan Avenue. It was the focal point of litigation by developers who sued the city after a proposed “loop-road” project failed to win federal approval. The city last year agreed to settle the lawsuit by purchasing the land for $2 million. The four options presented last night were to put the property up for sale, engage with a broker, gauge the property’s value, or create a Request for Proposal, also known as an RFP. In the end, council decided to put the property up for sale with the hopes of being able to pay back the funds they borrowed from the city for it. City Manager Shea Charles tells WHMI that the city is in a good position as the land’s owner, as well as the regulatory agency in its use. This ensures that offers can be turned down in the event they are not in line with the area’s best interest. As taxes are not being collected on the property, it is a financial drain on the city and is hindering other necessary projects. Therefore, council members were agreeable in putting it up for sale, hoping to reimburse the borrowed monies. In the meantime, the city will continue to hold onto the property, until an offer is made and accepted. Image courtesy of Google Maps Street View. (DK/JK)

9/9/14 - The attorney for the Marion Township man accused of a fatal road rage shooting last week has received more time to prepare for a hearing. 69-year-old Martin Edward Zale, who is charged with open murder in the death of 43-year-old Derek Flemming, was due for an exam conference today in front of 53rd District Court Judge Carol Sue Reader. But his attorney, Melissa Pearce, was granted additional time to prepare. The exam was adjourned until October 7th. Pearce indicated that her client will be claiming self-defense. She also said Zale is not a former police officer or member of the military as had been rumored. Flemming’s wife claims that Zale was driving erratically as she and her husband headed eastbound on Grand River last Tuesday to pick up their children from the first day of school. Amy Flemming says Zale passed them at one point and then began braking and accelerating multiple times.

9/9/14 - Construction is resuming this week on the final leg of the Grand River reconstruction project near Brighton. This is the second half of a project aimed at repairing pavement curb on Livingston County’s busiest local road. The work will continue from just east of Hacker Road and ends at the westbound I‐96 ramps. It will also include the westerly 800 feet of Hilton Road. The portion of Grand River from roughly Gordon Food Service eastward to I‐96 will be done on an off‐peak basis between 9pm and 6am. Curb removal is scheduled to begin Thursday. The curb and adjacent driveways will be poured back on Saturday night unless rain interrupts the work, then it would happen the next workday. Curb repairs are scheduled to be completed on both sides of the segment by September 25th. Livingston County Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine says this job will have a bit of a different character from the one just completed. Traffic volumes on this segment of Grand River approach 45,000 vehicles per day so some of work must be done at night to avoid gridlock. Schedule updates will be issued with each new phase and construction should wrap up by mid-November. More detailed information about the work that will be done this week and next is available in the attached press release. (JM)

9/10/14 - A former police officer has been arraigned on felony charges after police say he sexually assaulted a female acquaintance who lives near him in Hartland Township. 32-year-old Jordan Andrew Keilman is charged with 1st degree home invasion, 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct during a felony, assault with intent to commit sexual penetration and resisting/obstructing a police officer. Keilmnan is alleged to have entered the victim’s home without permission on September 2nd, assaulted her and later threatened arresting officers. A $300,000 cash or surety bond was set Tuesday for Keilman, which his defense attorney sought to reduce, saying he was attempting to get the defendant in proper services through the Veterans Affairs office. Prosecutors objected based on the charges. Records showed the court was also not comfortable with any reduction but indicated bond could be reconsidered after hearing more from Veterans Affairs and once treatment is in place. Keilman was ordered to not enter the premises of the victim’s home and must also surrender any weapons to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department. He’s scheduled to appear in 53rd District Court for an exam next Tuesday. Keilman is a former U.S. Army Ranger who worked for the Apex Police Department in North Carolina in 2012 but was reportedly terminated. Online records show he was arrested for driving while impaired in October of 2013. (JM)

9/10/14 - Local media got a chance to meet several Democratic Party candidates for the Livingston County Board of Commissioners and to hear their platforms at a Tuesday press conference, held at local Democratic Party headquarters. County Chair Judy Daubenmier summed up the presentation by saying the county is currently getting only one perspective and one viewpoint. On the matter of priorities, she tells WHMI the number one priority in the county is addressing the condition of its roads. Daubenmier also says that having safe communities, protecting the public from the effects of fracking, more road patrols, access to higher education, greater support for senior programs, supporting working families with a living wage on county projects are all goals the candidates will be working toward if elected in November. In regard to roads, Daubenmier says the county board has misplaced priorities, with $16 million having been spent on a new jail addition when the money could have better been utilized on improving the roads. She also says the local match for the I-96 Latson Road interchange could have better been used on county roads. On the hot-button issue of fracking, Daubenmier says Democrats would work actively to prevent fracking by helping townships pass a 6-month moratorium on hydraulic fracking and push the state legislature to ensure that only “non-toxic” fracking fluids are used by oil companies. She says Democrat county commissioners would also strive to get a reduced tuition rate for county residents who want to take community college courses in the county and start planning for a community college in Livingston County, which currently has none. Finally, Daubenmier says with the local LETS dial-a-ride service is stretched beyond its capacity and a county transportation authority should be established to ensure the needs of all residents are served. Candidates for the county board of commissioners who attended the press conference included Mike Tipton of Howell Township, who is a candidate in District 5; Donald Pushies of Conway Township, who is a candidate for District 4; Jeannette DiFlorio of Oceola Township, who is running for the District 2 seat; Jim Delcamp of Genoa Township, running for District 7 commissioner and Jim Katakowski of Hamburg Township, a candidate for District 8 commissioner.

9/10/14 - The Livingston County United Way kicked off its annual fundraising campaign Tuesday. To mark the occasion, a free family-themed event was held at the Livingston County EMS/Public Safety Complex on Tooley Road. It allowed attendees the opportunity to see more than 30 unique vehicles up close and tour the state-of-the-art EMS headquarters and training center. In addition to the all of the unique wheels on display, the programs and initiatives supported by the local United Way were showcased. Executive Director Nancy Rosso says it allows the community to see how the work being done together makes a difference to address critical needs and all of the funds stay local. The 2014 campaign co-chairs are retired Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse and Livingston County Drain Commissioner Brian Jonckheere. The pair came up with the unique vehicle theme to help spark community interest. Morse says it offered an opportunity for both the young and the old to check out a wide variety of vehicles you don’t typically see, from dragsters to farm equipment, fuel dragsters and M-DOT’s mega tow plow. Jonckheere told WHMI it’s a special organization and Livingston County actually ranks as one of the top in the nation. He urged the public and employers to get involved in the coming months, saying the campaign should really be considered a community investment. More information about the Livingston County United Way, its programs and initiatives as well as volunteer opportunities can be found through the link below. (JM)

Handy Twp. OKs 200-Acre Property Purchase by DeveloperHandy Twp. OKs 200-Acre Property Purchase by Developer

9/10/14 - The Handy Township Board of Trustees Tuesday night unanimously approved the purchase offer by GreenGrid LLC for 200 acres of property on Grand River that was originally envisioned as a huge residential development. The purchase price is $3.2 million, which will be paid on a one-year land contract, with a balloon payment at the end of the year. Township consultant Fred Dillingham tells WHMI that the developer will be working with a major university to provide energy in the planned industrial park. Township consultant Fred Dillingham of Livingston Business Development Associates tells WHMI that the developer hopes to turn into a high-tech, green energy industrial development. Township Supervisor Hank Vaupel says the development could prove to be an economic boon to the township. Vaupel says the way the energy would be produced would be high-tech and likely have a petroleum component, but declined to go into specifics at this time. The property was originally planned as a large residential development of about 300 homes, but was never developed. When the real estate bubble burst, the developer abandoned the site and sued the township, saying sewers had not been provided. The township was left holding the bag, with millions of dollars in special assessments, taxes and bonds attached to the property. The bill was paid through the county’s delinquent tax revolving fund, but the interest charges on the debt continued to add up. The township was ultimately awarded the property by the courts. Only six citizens showed up at the meeting Tuesday night, and none voiced disapproval of the purchase agreement, although at previous meetings some had objected, saying it would decrease property values and increase noise and traffic levels. Jeffrey and Sandra Kassab were on the agenda Tuesday to ask if they could buy one of the five parcels to use as a buffer zone. However the item was tabled until a future meeting. Vaupel says it would be a moot point from the township’s standpoint if the purchase agreement is signed by GreenGrid, since they would own the entire 200 acres. At that point, Vaupel says, it would be their prerogative whether they want to sell the 3-acre parcel to the Kassabs. A meeting is scheduled for Wednesday evening, at which time attorneys for both sides, plus Dillingham and Vaupel, will be present to discuss the addendum. (TT)

9/10/14 - A defense lawyer is urging the public to stay tuned for the "whole story" before judging a 69-year-old man who is accused of killing another motorist in a road rage incident last week in Genoa Township. Melissa Pearce says Martin Zale is a respected member of the community in Marion Township and that there is most definitely another side to this story. "The family of Mr. Zale is confident that once the entire story, with the facts and evidence in this case, has been heard in the courtroom before an impartial jury, that jury will return the right verdict." Pearce also indicated that she will be seeking to use a self-defense strategy at trial. She spoke to reporters Tuesday outside Howell District Court following the adjournment of a hearing for Zale, who is charged with an open count of murder in the fatal shooting of Derek Flemming on Sept. 2. Flemming's wife has told police that her husband was shot in the head after getting out of his vehicle to ask why Zale was driving aggressively. Amy Flemming also told the Detroit Free Press that Zale had an emotionless expression on his face after the shooting. The next court hearing is Oct. 7. (JK)

9/10/14 - A study has revealed Hartland Township’s residential market potential. A national research firm recently completed a residential market potential study for the municipality. The study anticipates 500 new homes and rentals will be needed to meet demand in the next five to six years. Of those, the report recommends 30% be multi-family rentals such as lofts and apartments, followed by single family homes in the lower and mid-price range. The three remaining categories all fell in the 11% range for condominiums and townhouses, luxury homes and multi-family and co-op ownership. Officials say the study also found that Hartland Township can command significantly higher per-square-foot prices on new homes, rentals and condominiums than neighboring communities. Township Manager James Wickman says the study is important in that it provides the planning commission and board with a solid analysis to base its updated Future Land Use Plan, which will be up for adoption early next year. Secondly, Wickman says the report can be shared with residential developers that are interested in the community to help them better understand Hartland Township’s projected housing needs. The full report is available on the Hartland Township website. It’s also expected to be discussed during Thursday night’s Planning Commission meeting. (JM)

9/10/14 - A Hamburg Township mother’s story is helping draw attention and awareness to women and heart disease. The American Heart Association is featuring “Heart Heroes” who have come back from a heart issue, taken control of their health and will be running in the Detroit Women’s Half Marathon on September 21st. One is 33-year-old Courtney Alexander of Hamburg Township, a healthy and active mother of three who doesn’t have any family history of heart issues. Nonetheless, she went into cardiac arrest at Mount Brighton after skiing last February. She was hospitalized and put in an induced coma to help prevent brain damage before being released two weeks later. In March she received an ICD, started cardiac rehab and graduated in August. Although she must wear a heart monitor, Alexander says she’s currently running and working out ahead of the upcoming marathon but tells WHMI her story is proof that this can happen to anyone. Alexander says living a healthy lifestyle is important but in her case, she had always been very active and considered herself to be healthy. She stressed how important it is for first responders to have Automated External Defibrillators in their vehicles because they do save lives. She says luckily, a responding Hamburg Township police officer had one and was able to deliver two shocks to restart her heart the day she went into cardiac arrest. Alexander's full story and more information about the Detroit Women’s Half Marathon is available through the link below. (JM)

9/10/14 - Although there have been no confirmed cases of a new respiratory infection in Michigan, there have been reports of suspected cases and health officials at the national, state and local levels are keeping an eye on the situation. Medical Director Dr. Don Lawrenchuk with the Livingston County Department of Public Health says Enteroviruses have actually been around for many years. He tells WHMI the problem is that because this is a new strain, no one has natural immunity to it. Lawrenchuk says there have been reports throughout the state of an increase in emergency department visits due to respiratory illness and suspect cases, particularly in children. Lawrenchuk says from time to time, the genetic make-up of viruses sort of change and strains develop that people haven’t had before so they don’t have any natural immunity or antibodies against the disease, which is what appears to be happening with the Enterovirus 68. He stressed the importance of hand washing and recommends those who are sick stay home from work or school. Lawrenchuk also told WHMI it’s not too early to start thinking about getting an annual flu shot as recommended by the CDC. There have been confirmed cases of the Enterovirus as close as Ohio and Illinois and Lawrenchuk says with all of the increased travel today, when cases start showing up in one part of the country, it tends to be just a matter of time before they all start seeing them.

9/11/14 - A Washtenaw County woman has been arraigned on charges after police say she hit and killed a Brighton-area man who was walking in the road. 34-year-old Candice April Soerries of Northfield Township was arraigned on a charge of failure to stop at a personal injury accident causing serious impairment or death in 53rd District Court yesterday. A $10,000 bond was set and as a condition, she was ordered to not enter any bars. Green Oak Township Police say Soerries was the driver of an SUV that hit 27-year-old Kevin Douglas Simon at the intersection of Rickett Road and Meadow Farm Drive in the early morning hours of March 30th and then drove off. Simon, who was wearing dark clothing while walking in the southbound lane in an area with no street lights, was pronounced dead at the scene. Chief Jason Pless said their investigation indicated Soerries struck Simon as she neared Meadow Farm Drive. After arriving home she called Livingston County Central Dispatch to report she had hit someone. Neither speed nor alcohol is thought to be factors in the death. Soerries could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. She’ll appear in court for an exam conference Tuesday. (JM)

9/11/14 - Officials say the results of a state-wide study gauging the economic impacts of Howell’s Main Street DDA program demonstrate success and are something to celebrate. The Michigan Main Street Program is celebrating its ten year anniversary while Howell will be doing so in 2015. It put out a ten year summary of the economic benefits across the state of having Michigan Main Street Programs and what they do to invest in downtowns. As Howell is one of its longest running programs, it was used as one of the survey communities for an economic impact study analyzing the last decade of data. The Howell Main Street Downtown Development Authority has brought a lot of positive changes to the downtown but not just changes in terms of businesses and creating new jobs according to Director Cathleen Edgerly. She says it has an even stronger economic impact on the downtown as a result of the Main Street /DDA partnership that is fairly unique to Howell’s program. Edgerly tells WHMI statistics for their program show 15 new businesses were created over the past year, resulting in more than 25 new jobs. New construction and rehabilitation since Howell is focused on historic preservation, brought in more than $896,000 in public and private investment. Edgerly says there’s limited staff but because of the Main Street component, they have volunteers who dedicate countless hours of their time and talents. The numbers show those volunteers log more than 4,000 hours every year, which Edgerly says equates to over $83,000 invested in the community. The results of the economic impact study were first presented during a retreat earlier this week with Main Street managers and DDA directors from across the state but will be formally presented to the community during an event later this month.

9/11/14 - A pharmacist who worked for a Massachusetts company blamed for a 2012 deadly nationwide meningitis outbreak that killed several local residents will be in federal court today for his arraignment. The tainted steroids were shipped to Michigan Pain Specialists in Genoa Township and injected into patients. As a result, 217 of that clinic’s patients contracted fungal meningitis, and 15 of them died. They were among 64 people nationwide that died as a result of the outbreak. Prosecutors said Glenn Adam Chin (pictured) oversaw the sterile clean rooms at the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, where the tainted steroids blamed for the outbreak were made. Chin, a supervisory pharmacist, is accused of participating in a scheme to fraudulently cause one lot to be labeled as injectable, meaning it was sterile and fit for human use. Chin, who was arrested last week and indicted Tuesday, is scheduled to be arraigned on a mail fraud charge in federal court. Image - Steven Senne/Associated Press (JK)
