After being rejected for their initial contract proposal, a local non-profit group will have the chance to work with an ad hoc committee on a possible deal for its summer fun festival. The Hamburg Township Board of Trustees plans to set up a negotiating committee with the Hamburg Enhanced Recreation Organization (HERO), to come up with a workable contract. Yesterday Township Supervisor Pat Hohl nominated three trustees to hammer out an agreement with at least three members of HERO. Trustees Mike Dolan, Bill Hahn and Jason Negri will meet with HERO board members. Last month the Township Parks and Recreation Committee recommended the township turn down a request from HERO for a 5-year contract for the annual Hamburg Family Fun Fest. HERO president Joanna Hardesty told the Parks and Recreation Committee the longer contract would help with negotiating better prices for events. HERO board members were not happy with the outcome of the meeting. Negri says heâs concerned about what the ad hoc committee will be able to do. He says part of his concern is, procedurally speaking, what is the scope of the ad hoc committee and what reasonable expectation do they have that an ad hoc committee of this sort is going to be able to craft something when the committee that they have established precisely to do that couldn't do it? Hohl says Parks and Recreation Committee cannot negotiate with groups making requests, and the ad hoc committee can. He says the situation with HERO is one that requires compromise and negotiation. He hopes the committee is able to come up with a workable contract in order to move forward, otherwise HERO will have to submit a request for one year at a time. Once a compromise is reached, the Parks and Recreation Committee will hold a special meeting to review it. Hohl says he hopes they have something in time to bring the issue back to the Township Board before the March 15th meeting. (DS)

District: Online Threat Not Credible, Tied To Video Game District: Online Threat Not Credible, Tied To Video Game
A video game apparently inspired an online threat against a Howell High School student that authorities say lack credibility. Michigan State Police notified the district late Sunday night about an online threat a high school student had received on their personal Twitter account that threatened to "shoot your school up." Superintendent Erin MacGregor issued a letter Tuesday, indicating that he spoke with Michigan State Police several times throughout the day. In partnership with the Harnett County Sheriffâs Department in North Carolina, police located the individual responsible for making the threat. He has been identified as a 16-year-old high school student in Lillington, North Carolina. He was interviewed by detectives yesterday and the Harnett County Sheriffâs Department determined the threat was not credible and was made as the result of an online video game the students were playing. MacGregor thanked Michigan State Police for their diligence and partnership in the matter, saying theyâre in the process of finalizing the investigation and will submit it to the Livingston County Prosecutorâs Office for review.

Public Meeting Will Answer Questions About Brighton Twp. Sewer SystemPublic Meeting Will Answer Questions About Brighton Twp. Sewer System
Brighton Township officials will hold a special meeting this week to hopefully answer any questions residents may have about the sanitary sewer system. $27.8 million dollars were issued by the township back in 2000 to construct the sewer system- a project some residents claim was âforcedâ upon them. Many local property owners have since approached the Board of Trustees with questions and concerns about sewer taxes and the system and Township Manager Brian Vick wants to address them. Vick will host a meeting and question and answer session on Thursday at 7 pm at Cornerstone Church on Hilton Road. Vick says he has reviewed yearsâ worth of documents about the system and the meeting is really for anyone interested in the issue. Jim Sarna, President of the Woodland Shore Homeowners Lake Association, says the original users on the system have been overcharged on the special assessment and that township officials have remained âindifferentâ towards them. Sarna tells WHMI he wants answers but if he doesn't get them, he suggests litigation could be an option. Sarna alleges that the township will not provide a current assessment role for the system and that users have paid well past what they owe. Sarna says he has âdone the numbersâ and if the assessment goes until the bonds mature in 2019, users will have paid $29,812.33- a âfar cryâ from the original assessment of $12,400. Sarna also claims that the township has made exceptions for other property owners by not enforcing laws that require them to hook up to the system if they are within 200ft. of it. In Sarnaâs opinion, township officials âare not representing the citizens of Brighton.â (DK)

Fenton Man Agrees To Plea Deal In Fatal CrashFenton Man Agrees To Plea Deal In Fatal Crash
A local man that authorities say is responsible in a fatal crash that happened over two years ago in Tyrone Township has accepted a plea deal. 50-year-old Theodore Ostapchuk of Fenton was arrested at the scene of a crash along US-23, south of White Lake Road on February 21st, 2014. A preliminary breath test indicated he had a blood-alcohol content of .16% - twice the stateâs legal limit for driving. Killed in the crash was 31-year-old Leroy Leon Batson of Mount Morris. Police in the Fenton area had earlier issued a âbe on the lookoutâ bulletin for Batsonâs car after motorists reported he was driving erratically. A medical examiner concluded Batson died from injuries related to the crash. Ostapchuk was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing death, which he pleaded no contest to on Friday as part of a plea deal. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to dismiss a second charge of operating a vehicle with high blood alcohol content, which had been added at a later date. The plea deal also includes a jail cap at sentencing, meaning jail time will be recommended as opposed to prison. Ostapchuk is scheduled to be sentenced April 4th. (DK)

Family Says Howell Man Scammed Elderly Couple For $4,500 Family Says Howell Man Scammed Elderly Couple For $4,500
After getting the runaround from a Howell man who was paid to build a deck for an elderly couple but never delivered, a family is going public with their story in hopes of stopping others from being victimized. Ron Johnson says his elderly in-laws - Julius and Janet Fauer - paid 35-year-old Timothy Paul Cornelius $4,500 to build a deck but all they ever got was the runaround. He says Cornelius claimed he was hurt at first and had to put the job on hold but then continually made up excuses, eventually promising the family a full refund that also never happened. Johnson says his father-in-law suffered from Alzheimerâs and was in hospice care at the time but recently passed away. He tells WHMI itâs been a devastating ordeal, especially on top of the grieving process the family is going through. He says Cornelius had actually been referred for the job by an employee of the hospice company who knew he was in need of work. While Johnson says they donât believe there was any ill-intention on the part of the employee, they have filed a complaint with the Michigan Attorney Generalâs Office to conduct an investigation. He says a formal report has also been filed with Michigan State Police at the Brighton Post, which confirms two felony warrants have been issued for his arrest on charges of larceny by conversion and being a 4th time habitual offender. Johnson says what was even worse was when they later found out about Corneliusâ criminal history. He was convicted of 3rd degree criminal sexual conduct involving a person 13-15 in 2002. Michigan Department of Corrections records show he is currently on probation in Livingston County and has multiple convictions stemming from incidents as far back as 2004 but as recent at 2014 involving checks without an account or sufficient funds, as well as domestic violence and interfering with electronic communications. Anyone with information about the case or Cornelius should contact authorities. Johnson has also provided an email address for those wishing to contact him about the situation at rjanjj@yahoo.com.

Hartland Township Employees to Receive Pay IncreaseHartland Township Employees to Receive Pay Increase
A local township agreed to award pay raises to its employees after a lengthy budget discussion Tuesday night. As part of its annual budget review process, Hartland Township agreed to increase salaries for some 20 employees last night. The pay increases are separate from an additional increase in retirement benefits for full time employees. Manager James Wickman says the increases will have minimal impact on the budget. He says the board decided to increase retirement contributions up to eight percent so that was an extra percent over what they are doing today. He says one percent represents $5,000 or $6,000 total overall. Then they also established a pool of money for raises and bonuses that amounted to two percent of wages. Wickman says two percent of wages represents a little over $13,000. Hartland Township has a little over 20 full-time and part-time staff so some people will get more than two percent and some people will get less than. Three board members didnât agree with the decision. Trustee Matt Germaine thought the one percent increase in retirement was sufficient. He argued that the cost of living has not increased and so wages shouldnât increase. Germaine suggested instead offering bonuses to employees based on whether revenue in the township increases. Germaine was outvoted, but Township Treasurer Kathie Horning and Clerk Larry Ciofu also voted against the proposal. They thought the raises should have been four percent instead of two. Trustee Joe Petrucci says he thinks the pay raises should have been higher also, but voted for the two percent increase. He says he disagrees with comparing Hartland Township to other townships because it isnât an apples-to-apples comparison. He says Hartland may be close to other townships as far as wages and benefits, but they arenât close to other townships in revenue. Wickman says the wage increases will take effect on April 1st with the new fiscal year. Once the motion passed, Horning made a second motion to include Wickman in the retirement increase as well.

Corrections Officer From Brighton Suspended After Drug ArrestCorrections Officer From Brighton Suspended After Drug Arrest
A Livingston County man has been suspended from his job as a state corrections officer after being charged with selling prescription drugs. 30-year-old Lawrence David Tylutki of Brighton was arrested February 25th in Farmington Hills after agents with the Oakland County Narcotics Enforcement Team witnessed him deliver 250 Roxicodone, Adderall and Xanax pills to an undercover informant near a high school at 11 Mile and Middlebelt roads. An additional 290 pills and prescription slips were later found in his car. He was charged with multiple counts of delivery and or manufacture of a controlled substance and possessing a firearm in the commission of a felony. Tylutki was hired as a corrections officer at Parnall Correctional Facility in Jackson last March and was still on probationary employee status. Following his arraignment Saturday, he was immediately suspended without pay according to officials with the Michigan Department of Corrections. Police say Tylutki, who was in uniform and armed with a .40 caliber handgun at the time of his arrest, has denied smuggling any drugs into the prison where he worked. He is due back in court March 11th. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison. (JK)

Fenton Looks At Water Main Upgrade ProjectsFenton Looks At Water Main Upgrade Projects
Water mains in several areas of one local municipality will be getting some attention in the coming years. Monday night Fenton City Council members heard the Water Reliability Study and learned there are a number of projects that need attention. Public Works director Dan Czarnecki told the council that one of the first priorities will be to replace a booster station south of the city limits, which is in Livingston County. Czarnecki says the booster station could cost $2.7 (m) million to construct, but will provide better water pressure to a handful of subdivisions. He says it will also bring the pressure up to fire department requirements. Mayor Sue Osborn says she would like to look at the agreement between Livingston County and the city of Fenton before the project goes too far. City Manager Lynn Markland says some of the projects in the study are scheduled to be completed over the next five years, and others scheduled out over 20 years. The city will be looking at combining the water main projects along with street improvements. Markland says they will be looking at setting up a capital improvement project around the water main replacements, and will potentially look at a bond issue to spread out paying for the nearly $6 (m) in improvements. Markland tells WHMI there is no worry about excess lead in Fenton despite the community's proximity to Flint, which is experiencing a crisis of lead that has leached into the drinking water. He says just like every other municipality, Fenton is required to submit a report to the Department of Environmental Quality annually, which is also distributed to all of their customers. He says according to the report the city doesn't have any issues with surpassing the lead requirements. He says they are in compliance with all of the requirements including the lead requirements. Czarnecki says the Department of Environmental Quality requires the Water Reliability Study to be updated every five years. He says he needs to make a few changes before the study is brought back to the City Council for approval at the first meeting in March. (DS)

5 Days in Jail, Probation For Mom Found Passed Out Drunk On Freeway5 Days in Jail, Probation For Mom Found Passed Out Drunk On Freeway
Sentencing has been handed down to a South Haven woman who was found passed out drunk in her car on a freeway ramp with her children in the backseat. 31-year-old Tatum Vaneizenga has been sentenced to 5 days in jail with a credit of 3 days served, along with several probation requirements. In December, Vaneizenga was charged with Operating While Intoxicated With an Occupant less than 16 and Open Intoxicants. Witnesses called 911 to report a possible drunken driver on the ramp from eastbound I-96 to M-59 in Howell Township. Deputies who responded to the scene found a car at a complete stop in the middle of the entrance ramp with Vaneizenga passed out in the driverâs seat. Her two children were strapped into car seats in the back. She reportedly refused a field sobriety test, but blew a .355 at the Livingston County Jail after she was taken into custody on suspicion of drunken driving. The children were taken into protective custody, while deputies used their own money to purchase diapers and formula for the children after noticing there were no baby supplies in the vehicle. Vaneizengaâs probation includes substance abuse counseling, parenting classes, community service and she must take part in the 12-step program twice a week. (DK)

Health Officials Urge Vaccinations As Flu Cases Rise "Significantly"Health Officials Urge Vaccinations As Flu Cases Rise "Significantly"
Local health officials are warning the public about a major increase in influenza cases around the county. The Livingston County Department of Public Health reports that they have seen a significant increase in influenza cases over the past few weeks, and it is predicted that case numbers will continue to rise. Influenza is a respiratory viral illness that can cause fever, cough, chills, headaches, muscle aches, runny nose and sore throat. With true influenza a fever is almost always present and the cough is often severe. Influenza symptoms normally last 2 to 7 days. Health officials say that the most important step in protecting yourself and your loved ones against the flu is to get a flu shot and that this yearâs vaccine is a great match for the current flu viruses making people sick. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone ages 6 months and older get a flu shot each year. The Livingston County Department of Public Health offers flu vaccines at their office on East Grand River in Howell during their Wednesday clinic from 8:30 to 4:30 pm with extended hours until 7pm on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. The cost for the flu shot is $38, nasal or FluMist is $41, and high-dose vaccine available for individuals 65 years and older is $55. Medicare (Part B) will cover the total cost for a flu shot, but they will be unable to accept any managed Medicare plans. Fees may be adjusted for VFC eligible children based on ability to pay. Anyone with questions is asked to call (517) 546-9850 or visit their website through the link below. (JK)

U.S. Supreme Court Rejects County's Appeal In Jail Mail CaseU.S. Supreme Court Rejects County's Appeal In Jail Mail Case
Livingston Countyâs appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court of a lower court ruling that it must allow jail inmates to receive mail from the American Civil Liberties Union has been rejected. The nationâs highest court on Monday declined to hear the countyâs appeal on that issue. The ACLU of Michigan filed a lawsuit in 2014 after it got no response to two dozen letters sent to inmates. At the time, jail administrator Tom Cremonte said their policy is not to deliver legal mail to inmates unless it's from a lawyer who is already representing them. The Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, in a unanimous decision last August, called the policy âarbitraryâ and said the letters sent by the ACLU were âprecisely the type of communication that an attorney and an inmate would want kept confidential,â noting that they were addressed to a specific inmate, clearly marked âlegal mail,â and included the name and bar number of a licensed Michigan attorney. Daniel Korobkin is the Deputy Legal Director for the ACLU of Michigan and says with the high courtâs decision to not even hear the countyâs appeal, the main contention in the case is now decided and he hopes for a quick resolution to the lawsuit. When asked for comment on the Supreme Court's denial, Livingston County Administrator Ken Hinton referred the matter to attorney T. Joseph Seward of the law firm Seward, Peck and Henderson, who is litigating the case for the county. He told WHMI that the matter will now proceed back to U.S. District Court in Detroit for further proceedings, but that no decision has yet been made by the county as to what actions it will take in the matter. Meanwhile, a publication known as the Prison Legal News is also suing Livingston County for the right to be distributed in the jail. That is set for a motion hearing March 9th in U.S. District Court in Detroit. Hinton previously said that the defense of the two lawsuits has cost Livingston County more than $142,000 to date. (JK)

Hune Gives Back Unspent Budget Funds To The StateHune Gives Back Unspent Budget Funds To The State
A local politician has given back more than $12,000 in budget funds to the state. State Senator Joe Hune, a republican from Hamburg, announced earlier in the week that he was returning $12,676.67 of unspent money from his operating budget in 2015. The operating budget allows for expenses like travel reimbursement, supplies, payroll, and other miscellaneous items. Hune said in a news release that it has always been a priority of his to spend taxpayerâs dollars wisely and that he will continue to fight for âresponsible stewardshipâ of allotted funds. Hune has served in Michiganâs 22nd Senate district, which includes all of Livingston County and western Washtenaw, since being elected in 2010. (MK)

City Of Howell Will Front Money For Parking Lot Project, DDA Will Pay It BackCity Of Howell Will Front Money For Parking Lot Project, DDA Will Pay It Back
A parking lot rehabilitation project in downtown Howell will soon move forward, following a funding-reimbursement commitment from the Downtown Development Authority. Two parking lots and utilities in an alley in downtown Howell need repair and the DDA will work with the city to bankroll the project. The work is expected to cost around $1.1 million dollars and the DDA is generally responsible for funding infrastructure improvements. The DDA does not currently have the money to cover the cost, so the city will front the money and the DDA will pay them back. City Manager Shea Charles tells WHMI a resolution approved by the DDA on Wednesday will hold them to that obligation. New board member Richard Lim says the DDA has âto protect the cityâ and 6 of the 8 voting members were comfortable with adopting the resolution to reimburse the city. Those opposed, President Brian Walker and Vice President Heather Ruby, wanted more time to review the resolution and the language within it that had recently been altered, but were out-voted. The city has already adopted the necessary bond resolutions for the project and will go out to bid on the first phase in about 30 days. The first phase includes rehabilitation to a parking lot located at the corner of west Clinton and Walnut Street and the overhead utilities in the alley behind it. Bids are expected to come back in April and construction has been tentatively set for this summer. (DK)

Livingston Outraises Oakland In Annual Event, But Overall Goal Still UnmetLivingston Outraises Oakland In Annual Event, But Overall Goal Still Unmet
Livingston County outdid their counterparts in Oakland County when it came to raising funds to keep families in need warm, although an overall goal is still unfulfilled. The 26th annual Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency Walk for Warmth was held February 6th at Oakland Countyâs Great Lakes Crossing Outlets and then on February 20th at the Hartland Educational Support Service Center in Livingston County. Altogether, there were over 1,200 participants in the form of walkers, sponsors and volunteers. Funds raised support emergency utility assistance, helping to keep Oakland and Livingston families safe and warm in their homes this winter. OLHSA officials say that cash and pledges totaled $78,800 from the Oakland Walk for Warmth while Livingston County Walk for Warmth participants raised $93,200. But because the goal for both walks was $180,000, about $8,000 remains to be raised to accomplish that goal. OLHSA officials stress that every dollar raised will go right back into the counties in which theyâre raised to heat homes, including many with young children and elderly. Last year alone, 143 local Livingston County families were kept warm from the event. Donations are still being accepted through the link below. (JK)

Old Fixtures Being Replaced In County Courthouse After Lead Testing Old Fixtures Being Replaced In County Courthouse After Lead Testing
Some seldom used fixtures in the historic Livingston County courthouse are being replaced after facilities were tested for lead. County Administrator Ken Hinton tells WHMI all of the facility results came back fine, with the exception of a sink on the fourth floor of the old courthouse that exceeded allowable limits. He says itâs a non-public area but used occasionally as a staff break room, adding water to the fixture has been shutoff and it is in the process of being replaced. Hinton says additional testing was performed in the old courthouse and a washbasin exceeded the limit for lead and fixtures of a similar type are being replaced. The Environmental Protection Agencyâs action level is 15 ppb. A washbasin in the ladies restroom on the second floor of the old courthouse tested at .063 ppb while an additional washbasin in an un-used jury room tested at .110 ppb. The public drinking fountain on the ground floor tested within limits at .009 parts per billion. Hinton says all tests in other county facilities were within limits and it is only the old courthouse where they are replacing select fixtures. He noted the 4th floor fixture and jury room receive little use, which may have contributed to the negative results. When the project is complete, Hinton says the countyâs facilities services department will consult with the environmental health director to coordinate any additional testing that might be necessary.

Former Youth Coach Sentenced To Prison In Molestation Case Former Youth Coach Sentenced To Prison In Molestation Case
A former coach charged with molesting a 13-year-old boy and lying about being diagnosed with Leukemia is heading to prison. 21-year-old Zachary Phillip Jones of Howell will serve 15-40 years in prison after earlier pleading guilty to charges of 1st and 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct, larceny by false pretenses and identity theft. Prosecutor Bill Vailliencourt tells WHMI the sentences run concurrently, which means they are served at the same time, and stipulate lifetime electronic monitoring. Jones had faced up to life in prison. Under current law, he would be first eligible for parole after serving 15 years. A letter was read aloud in court from the victim who once idolized Jones but now says he wants him to die in prison. Jones apologized during the proceedings. Jonesâ defense attorney explained that his client had been victimized by a family friend for years, which he said was offered as information - not an excuse. Jones was a volunteer coach for the Highlander Way Middle School and Howell Hurricanes youth wrestling teams last year when he claimed to have been diagnosed with stage 4 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Community fundraisers were held to help with medical bills while several of his family members reportedly got tattoos with red ribbons and his name in support. During the course of that original investigation, Howell Police discovered that Jones committed sexual acts with a 13-year-old boy, leading to multiple charges of criminal sexual conduct being filed. The identity theft and false pretense charges were added after police determined he had used a forged doctorâs letter to support the false diagnosis. Family of the victims were said to be in agreement with the plea deal reached, in which a separate count of 1st degree CSC was dismissed and prosecutors agreed to not file charges for criminal sexual conduct involving a second victim.
