A company will do an assessment of the 30 miles of streets in the city of Brighton in order to rate them according to the need for repairs. The City Council Thursday night voted to award a contract to Tetra Tech to perform the $41,000 survey. An estimate of repair costs for each project will also be part of the street assessment. Brighton Mayor Jim Muzzin tells WHMI that the pavement assessment will be a significant tool the city can use to prioritize which projects to do first. Tetra Tech engineers will do a walking tour of the city’s streets in the coming weeks to ascertain which ones are in basically good condition and which ones are showing the most wear and tear. Some need major structural improvements, while others may need just routine maintenance work or preventive maintenance. Muzzin says the city will add the projects to its Capital Improvements Project list, but the actual work will have to wait until Act 51 road funds become available. (TT)

Tuesday Is Deadline To Register For November General ElectionTuesday Is Deadline To Register For November General Election

With roughly four weeks to go before the November General Election, local election officials are offering residents and would-be voters some things to keep in mind. This Tuesday is the voter registration deadline, which can be done at any Secretary of State branch office or an individual’s city or township clerk’s office. Elections coordinator Joan Runyan tells WHMI the Livingston County Clerk's Office has had a lot of foot traffic lately and been fielding lots of calls from people who have never voted or haven’t voted in a long time, which is refreshing to see. Runyan encourages individuals to either make contact with their local or county clerk’s office ahead of the election but says the focus for many right now is getting registered to vote, checking on their registration status or applying for an absentee ballot. She says the Michigan Voter Information Center is a great online resource for individuals to view their sample ballot and print it, find directions to polling locations, track absentee ballots and learn how to use election equipment. Voters who are registered and who qualify can choose to cast an absentee ballot. However, Runyan reminds that the November Presidential Election ballot will contain the straight party ticket option, if a voter wishes to do so. As there is expected to be a large turnout for the November election, a number of local municipalities are also hiring election inspectors. A link to the Michigan Voter Information Center and helpful reminders from Runyan are available through the link and attachment. (JM)

Tour De Livingston Brings Riders To Raise FundsTour De Livingston Brings Riders To Raise Funds

A crisp fall morning met several hundred bicyclists Sunday for the Tour de Livingston fundraiser in Brighton. The 9th annual event sponsored by the Howell Rotary Club benefited the Livingston County United Way. Bicyclists from throughout the county and region hit the rural roads of Livingston County; many taking advantage of the opportunity to ride through the GM Proving Grounds. Ashley Prew is co-chair of this year’s event planning committee. She says a lot of people do the ride because they are bikers, but some people are beginners. She says there are all levels of riders, including some who just want to bring their family out to do the family fun loop. Prew says it's a great way to see the county, and benefit the Livingston County United Way's Basic Needs Fund. All of the funds stay in Livingston County and are used for things like preventing hunger, helping people with utility bills and certain things like that. Prew says they hoped to have 700 cyclists join the ride in an effort to raise $40,000. She says it wasn’t necessary to be a skilled rider, as there were shorter 5 and 10 mile family fun rides along with the longer rides winding through the county. More skilled cyclists rode anywhere from 38, 62 and up to 100 miles with stops in Hell and Howell at the Farmer’s Market. Prew says there were a number of people who fundraised for the event. Each of the jersey riders raised $250 in pledges, which gained them admission and a jersey. Adam Baranski says he was there to support the cause. He says knowing that the money stays in Livingston County and helping those who need food and shelter and knowing it's providing a wonderful thing for wonderful people is why he chose to ride. He says he usually rides farther, including a ride over the summer that took him across the state of Iowa, but he had someone new riding with him this year, who has never done it before so he was supporting her while supporting the tour itself. Baranski, who works for the Livingston Essential Transportation Service, says this is his third time in the early fall ride. He says he used a website to ask friends and family to donate pledges.

Shkreli Decries Bishop's Continued Support Of Trump CandidacyShkreli Decries Bishop's Continued Support Of Trump Candidacy

The controversy over comments by Donald Trump caught on tape in 2005 has reached into a local election for Congress. Democrat Suzanna Shkreli, who is running to unseat Republican Mike Bishop in Michigan's 8th District, responded to the release of an audio tape of Trump in which he makes vulgar references to women that she says amounts to sexual assault. In a statement, she said that, “As a prosecutor who fights every day in the courtroom to protect women and children and keep dangerous predators off the streets,” she found Trump’s comments “deeply disturbing.” Shkreli added that Bishop, “…has stood behind Donald Trump after he denigrated the record of a war hero, mocked a disabled reporter, insulted the Gold Star parents of a fallen soldier, and now joked about sexual assault.” She said his continued support of Trump, a candidate he had at one time called ‘refreshing’ was “appalling in the wake of such comments." Bishop released his own statement about the audio tape, saying that, "No person should ever talk about women the way Trump talked in that conversation.” Bishop said he was “disgusted by it” and said that, “Senator John McCain said it best when he said, ‘He alone bears the burden of his conduct and alone should suffer the consequences.’ “While Bishop didn’t go as far as renouncing his support of Trump’s candidacy, other prominent Michigan Republicans did, including Lt. Gov. Brian Calley and Congressmen Fred Upton and Justin Amash, who all called on Trump to drop out of the race. Bishop has since issued a follow-up statement that reads, "I have lived in this community my entire life and been serving this district well before the 2016 presidential campaign began. Donald Trump was not my first or second choice during the primary process, but Republican voters chose him and I respect their decision. I have been continuously troubled by his conduct and statements, and I publicly admonished him over his disgusting comments about women. When my opponent, Ms. Shkreli, was asked what she thought of the prior candidate Melissa Gilbert defending child rapist Roman Polanski, Shkreli said she would focus on her own campaign. I am choosing to do the same. I am focusing on Michigan and the Eighth District. I will not answer any more questions regarding Donald Trump. Our families deserve a campaign that is focused on the issues, something our 2016 discussions are solely lacking this close to Election Day." (JK)

South Lyon Community Bids Farewell To Brown's Root Beer & Sandwich ShopSouth Lyon Community Bids Farewell To Brown's Root Beer & Sandwich Shop

Customers lined up outside of an iconic restaurant in South Lyon one last time this weekend. After 56 years, Brown's Root Beer and Sandwich Shop on Lafayette Street in South Lyon served up its last root beers and coney dogs on Saturday. Second generation restaurant owner Ed Brown earlier announced his pending retirement, saying it was time to kick back and enjoy life with his wife Eileen, who also retired. Both the restaurant and property are up for sale. The community staple dates back to 1960, originally opening as an A&W Drive-In that Brown purchased from his parents in 1978. He would later rename it, but kept a similar menu. The root beer poured from a tap near the front counter was a big draw for many. In 2010, Brown's celebrated 50 years and the restaurant has been like a family for employees, loyal customers and the community at large. Brown hosted one final classic car show at the establishment before bidding farewell. Facebook photo (JM)

Police are advising community members to “lock up or lose it” amid an increase in vehicle larcenies. The Howell Police Department has taken several reports of larcenies from automobiles in recent weeks and says these types of thefts are crimes of opportunity so residents should take steps to eliminate the opportunity and avoid becoming a victim. The department advises to lock your vehicle every time, make sure windows are closed and remove any items of value or put them in the trunk. If possible, police say park in well-lighted areas and keep an eye out for suspicious persons loitering around a parking lot. (JM)

A new arch, a new fundraiser, and an internment are all honoring fallen canines who served with our military or law enforcement agencies. Five years ago the Michigan War Dog Memorial was created in Lyon Township as a final resting place and reminder for pets who have served the country. Today a new arch hangs over the cemetery’s walkway, courtesy of a U.S. Marine veteran who does metal manufacturing in Detroit. Visitors will now enter the cemetery under new structure that reads “Path of Honor, K9 Heroes” with a cutout German shepherd and paw prints. Memorial President Phil Weitlauf told WHMI that the cemetery has also started a new fundraiser that will be a remembrance to a group of dogs who left overseas. The Vietnam Canine Memorial Wall will be a memory to the 3,800 dogs left behind at the end of that war. The War Dog Memorial also has a burial scheduled on October 29th for K-9 Sampson. Sampson worked with the White Collar K-9’s agency and assisted various police departments during large security events. The ceremony will have a bugle, bagpipes, taps, and a “canine salute to their fallen comrade.” Eight German shepherds who have been trained to howl on command will do so for 30 seconds in honor of Sampson. For more information on the burial or the fundraiser, visit the Michigan War Dog Memorial’s website below. MWDM Photo. (MK)

Murphy Announces "No Signs Tour"& Names New Undersheriff If ElectedMurphy Announces "No Signs Tour"& Names New Undersheriff If Elected

The man hoping to be elected Livingston County’s next sheriff this November is taking a different type of approach with his campaign. Livingston County Undersheriff Mike Murphy, who is running to replace retiring Sheriff Bob Bezotte, says he has decided to label his campaign the "No Signs Tour" and believes he can be elected sheriff without adding to the sometimes overwhelming "signscape". Murphy said he is not taking this election lightly, nor is it his intent to sound arrogant but given the totality of the circumstances, he’s confident he’ll be elected since his opponent has never even been a police officer and the Libertarian Party suspended him for two years because of his "antics." Murphy’s opponent, James Weeks II of Genoa Township, will still appear on the ballot although he was suspended by the Libertarian Party of Michigan for two years after doing a striptease at a political convention. Meanwhile, Murphy also announced his intent to appoint Jeff Warder as his undersheriff if elected. Warder currently works as deputy chief for the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office and has a lengthy resume that includes serving as commander of a special response team as well as labor relations and contract negotiation experience. Murphy feels they’ll complement each other well, noting Warder is very community minded and there are a lot of similarities between the two offices such as the size and budget but he took other factors into consideration as well. Murphy told WHMI Warder’s experience will be beneficial because a sheriff’s office is somewhat unique with different nuances and not like other police departments. He further noted there are a lot of great qualified people within the department currently but frankly, there’s not really a big incentive to be promoted because the benefit package changes significantly from rank and file or sergeant/lieutenant positions to a non-union appointed position, which is what the undersheriff falls into. Weeks has since issued a statement to WHMI, which is attached. (JM)

Superintendent Greg Gray informed the Brighton Board of Education at Monday night’s meeting that the fall enrollment figures are now in, and the district recorded an enrollment of 6,019 from junior kindergarten through 12th grade. Gray says that’s an increase of about 100 students over last year at this time. The fall enrollment figure makes up 90% of a school district’s state per-pupil aid. Gray says the 6,019 figure is in-house students only, and does not include students from other districts who are enrolled in the Brighton Area Schools’ Shared Services program. Gray says the district has another 1,500 fulltime equivalent students in Shared Services. In the program, Brighton hires certified teachers to teach non-core curriculum courses that private and parochial schools don’t offer. Gray says the 1,500 Shared Services figure is about the same as last year. Brighton has the largest Shared Services program in the state, and its success has been a major factor in the district’s ability to get out of debt and eliminate the deficit. (TT)

A Fenton man is charged with sexually assaulting children in two counties. 41-year-old Robert Lee Dennis was arraigned last week in 67th District Court on eight counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a defendant under the age of 13. Dennis is reported to have assaulted someone he knew over a three-year period in Fenton. A probable cause conference is set Thursday on the Fenton charges. Dennis has also been charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct in Oakland County, where he is set to go to trial November 7th. It is not known whether the Genesee and Oakland County victim is the same person. He is lodged in the Oakland County Jail under a $500,000 bond. If convicted, Dennis faces up to life in prison. (JK)

A meeting tonight will discuss possible redistricting plans in the South Lyon Community School district. A public input session will be held at 5:30pm in the school board auditorium, with a follow-up meeting set for October 25th. District officials say while the fall student count was close to what had been anticipated, the location of those students differed from earlier projections. Assistant Superintendent Maureen Altermatt told the South Lyon Herald that Brummer Elementary School, located in Green Oak Township, has more students than expected. One explanation for the changing numbers is that several housing developments are being finished faster than anticipated, while others are taking longer. Another issue that district officials are taking into account is the number of students who receive free and reduced lunch which they say needs to be built it into the building population models under consideration. The recommendation is scheduled to be presented to the board for information at the November 7th meeting and will be voted on at the meeting on November 21st. More information about the redistricting plan can be found on the South Lyon Community Schools website, and a link is posted below. (JK)

Howell Township Renews Agreement with HAPRAHowell Township Renews Agreement with HAPRA

After a one year trial, the Howell Township Board of Trustees agreed to continue its membership in the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority. Last year HAPRA Executive Director Paul Rogers asked Howell Township to join the parks and rec authority as a participating municipality at a reduced rate. Since January township residents have been able to take advantage of free park passes and discounted rates for parks programs. Last night the township agreed to extend its relationship with HAPRA for another year. Rogers says the City of Howell, Oceola, Marion and Genoa townships have been paying just over $103,000 a year but Howell Township paid less than half that last year. The new agreement is for $52,000 but Rogers says the HAPRA board will decide whether to accept the township’s proposal. He says they approached Howell Township a year ago to see if they would want to be part of the authority. They were willing to at least come in and our board was willing to take them on for a year as like a trial. Rogers says they've indicated they will be willing to go for another year and become a participating municipality. He says he now has to take it back to the board and see if they want to go ahead with it or if they want to have some accelerators or not in there. That will be up to the board. Rogers says when the other townships initially joined the authority they paid what he calls accelerators. The City of Howell, Marion, Oceola and Genoa Townships started out paying $50,000 then each year the price went up until it reached its current rate. Rogers says the HAPRA board was hoping the township would become a fully participating member, but a few trustees said they couldn’t justify the price based on the number of residents participating. Trustee Dar Howard voted against spending the money because he says the township could purchase the park passes for residents and save funds. Township Clerk Carolyn Eaton says she is glad they decided to give it another year, because the past 8 months are not long enough to evaluate whether or not the residents benefit. (DS)

Residents Move Sewer Lawsuit Against Brighton Township To Circuit CourtResidents Move Sewer Lawsuit Against Brighton Township To Circuit Court

A group of disgruntled residents who believe they are paying exorbitant sewer rates have filed a class-action lawsuit against Brighton Township in the state’s 44th Circuit Court. Brighton Township residents Dennis Shoner and Barbara Potocki are representing “a class of similarly situated persons and entities”, according to the lawsuit. The two recently withdrew a federal class-action lawsuit against the township that was filed in June in US District Court. Last Wednesday, a lawsuit was filed in 44th Circuit Court by attorneys Potocki says are “experienced with tax law”. The lawsuit challenges charges currently assessed in relation to the construction, operation and maintenance of the township’s Sanitary Sewer System. It further states that the overcharges are “unlawful” and “are motivated by a revenue-raising and not a regulatory purpose”. The problem, as both the township and the affected residents see it, is that the sewer system was built in 2003 based on projections which showed a significant population increase, and therefore a major increase in the number of sewage treatment system users based on new homes coming in. However the recession hit a few years later, and the township’s population stagnated. Because there were few new hookups, the system has been running at about 40% of capacity. The plaintiffs are seeking a refund of all overcharges collected and that the township pay into a common fund to benefit those represented in the lawsuit. Potocki says she trusts their attorneys’ “judgement and integrity”, but declined to comment further, stating that the issue is “ongoing”. You can view the entirety of the lawsuit at the link below.

Conely Calls For BAS Board Vice President To ResignConely Calls For BAS Board Vice President To Resign

Brighton school board Trustee John Conely, accusing Board Vice President Dave Chesney of “campaigning” during the meeting, called for Chesney’s resignation at Monday's Board of Education meeting. However, Conely is himself being called out by parents in the district. Chesney did not respond to the demand, which Conely later repeated. Board Trustee Bill Trombley also accused Chesney of campaigning, calling for a “point of order”. The subject came up after Chesney said that he had spoken with most of the board candidates who are on the ballot in the November general election. Conely said that Chesney should resign because he had allegedly campaigned for the other candidates at the meeting. Chesney told Conely that he merely mentioned the names of the candidates, saying he had met and spoken with them, and that could in no way be construed as “campaigning”. Meanwhile, a screenshot of a Facebook posting has emerged this morning indicating that Conely himself posted the campaign page of a candidate he supports to a Parent Group page for Maltby Intermediate School. In the posting, a parent points out to Conely that the pages were not supposed to be used for politics. He responded by saying it was “Good information to have.” However, the post would seemingly contradict Conely’s earlier stance that campaigning should not be taking place on anything officially connected to the district. Conely disputes that and says his posting was on a website that has no official connection to the district, while Chesney's actions took place during a school board meeting. On another issue, Chesney called for an external audit of the bond committee and the minutes of its meetings. He said that when the board realized they would get more bang for their buck on the $88.5 million bond issue because the bids came in low, they should have given the extra $10 million or so back to the taxpaying public. Instead, he said, the board opted to tack on extra projects that had been previously eliminated because of cost limitations on the bond. Appearing not to get any support from fellow board members, Chesney never put his call for an external audit in the form of a motion, and the board went on to other matters. (TT/JK)

With budget constraints and decreased revenues, the concept of cost sharing for special events to the City of Howell is being explored. The Howell City Council held a somewhat lengthy discussion Monday night about potentially revising the civic event policy and exploring cost sharing opportunities. Council has debated on again and off again over the years about charging back to assorted special events. City Manager Shea Charles says the events are an amazing resource for the community but on the other hand, they do carry a cost to ranging from anywhere from $65,000 to $85,000 per year - which is not a trivial amount. Charles tells WHMI Council began preliminary budget conversations over the summer and identified the civic event policy as something they would like to explore and identify if there is possible cost sharing opportunities or not. The impact on the City budget is what’s fueling conversation when it comes to set up and tear down of events, staffing, overtime, equipment usage, overtime and related fringe benefits. Costs don’t include administrative time for planning and members have been looking at ways to balance the burden. The bulk of costs incurred are said to be tied to four major events in the City – Michigan Challenge Balloonfest, the Fantasy of Lights parade, Melon Festival and the Legend of Sleepy Howell. Officials representing the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce and the Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority attended the meeting and commented briefly on the positive impact of different events, along with benefits that can’t necessarily be measured. Charles noted the significant challenge when dealing with different type of events is that they do not have high margins and aren’t huge money-makers but bring a tremendous amount of positive publicity to the community so the goal is to try and find some magic balance. He says Council will be setting up a time in the foreseeable future to meet with the different event organizers and work through options, ideas and concerns before moving forward. (JM)

Public interviews began the internal search last night for the next superintendent of Hartland Consolidated Schools. The district’s Board of Education held separate interviews to find current Superintendent Janet Sifferman’s successor. Chuck Hughes, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, and Scott VanEpps, Assistant Superintendent of Personnel and Student Services, answered 40 questions from the Board and a few from audience members on a wide range of issues. The candidates discussed leadership, budgetary concerns, communication and their qualifications. Hughes feels the three major issues facing the district in the next two years are the structural deficit, maintenance of aging buildings and educating students with 21st century skills. VanEpps feels declining enrollment, poor public perception and the unknown state of funding are three challenges the district will soon come up against. Both candidates spoke about the need for an “open-door policy” to create an environment where staff, students and parents felt comfortable and could be heard. The two also expressed admiration and respect for the other, and Sifferman. Sifferman will be leaving December 31st and the Board is hoping to make their decision regarding the next superintendent with a vote at their October 24th meeting. (DK)

A new analysis shows Livingston County experienced an increase in the number of vehicle-deer crashes in 2015. Fall has arrived - a time of year when car deer crashes most often occur. The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments has released 2015 statistics for deer-vehicle crashes, along with five-year averages for individual communities and counties. There were 5,871 vehicle-deer crashes in Southeast Michigan in 2015, an increase of 314 over 2014. SEMCOG reports that car-deer crashes accounted for 4% of all crashes in the region in 2015, with one fatality involving a motorcyclist. As for the top ten list when averaging car deer crashes over the past five years, Rochester Hills took the top spot, followed by Scio Township and Oakland Township. While no local communities made the top ten this time, statistics show Livingston County still experienced an increase of 51 vehicle-deer crashes from 2014 to 2015. Brighton Township made the top ten list last year. The figures are based on crash data received from Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center. SEMCOG Executive Director Kathleen Lomako says for many in the region, hunting season is an exciting time of year and the statistics are a great reminder for each driver to be “as alert behind the wheel as a hunter is in a tree stand.” More information regarding car-deer crashes and safe driving tips when encountering deer are available through the link below.

Candidates vying for a seat in local contested races in the November general election had the opportunity to make their voice heard at a forum last night. The “Meet the Candidates” forum, sponsored by the Pinckney Putnam Hamburg Hell Chamber of Commerce, was held at Hamburg Township Hall. The session hosted candidates for Livingston County Sheriff, County Commissioner, 42nd District Representative, Representative of the 8th Congressional District, trustees in Hamburg and Putnam Township and 53rd District Court Judge. Though not all the candidates appeared, those that did were given a chance to speak about their platform and field questions from the audience. The race for 53rd District Court Judge has stirred the pot because it is not often that district court judges run against one another. The state’s constitution regarding age limitations would make Judge Carol Sue Reader ineligible to run again when her term ends in 2018. That led her to run against Judge Suzanne Geddis. Reader says she could do the job better than Geddis and says she brings 40 years of experience to the table. Additionally, Reader says her calm temperament is the main difference between her and Geddis. Geddis could not attend the forum but had some of her thoughts read by defense attorney Jackie Langwith. In her statement, Geddis said that Reader had "nothing to lose" by running because she would retain a seat either way. By taking Geddis' seat, Reader would extend her term by six years. The forum also included information about two millages that will appear on the ballot. The event was recorded and will be re-broadcasted at a later date on Channel 191. The broadcast schedule will be available on Hamburg Township’s website. (DK)
