School's Petition To Relocate To Genoa Township Church TabledSchool's Petition To Relocate To Genoa Township Church Tabled

Genoa Township officials have postponed discussion of a petition from a religious school looking to relocate to a Brighton-area church. The township’s Planning Commission met with representatives from Livingston Christian Schools Tuesday to review the institutions’ revised plans to relocate to the Brighton Church of the Nazarene on Brighton Road. The school first attempted to make the move back in 2015, but the township refused to grant a special use permit, citing traffic concerns as one of the reasons for denial. The stretch is often congested as a number of schools, neighborhoods, and the church all bring substantial amounts of traffic on their own and around similar times of the day. That congestion hasn’t lessened in the last two years, which prompted a number of neighbors to attend Tuesday’s public hearing to express their concerns. LCS’s new plans include staggering start and stop times to avoid peak traffic hours. While their application included a traffic study from the Livingston County Road Commission, it was the study done back in 2015 when LCS made its first attempt. Assistant Township Manager Kelly VanMarter says that study is outdated, but could also be unreliable. The study was conducted in May of 2015, when high school seniors were not in school, and when the Spencer Road on-ramp to I-96 was closed for construction. VanMarter says both of those factors could have a noticeable impact on traffic counts and may not accurately represent the road's typical volume. The Planning Commission chose to table the issue until their next meeting, November 13th, and asked that LCS return with an updated study. There are a few more issues commissioners want handled before then as well, including a satisfied lease agreement with the church and reconfiguration of the site plan to address additional parking spaces needed.

Leaf Vacuuming Underway In Brighton Leaf Vacuuming Underway In Brighton

Fall leaf vacuuming for the city of Brighton’s 7,500 residents began on Monday of this week and will continue through the end of November. The vacuuming service is in addition to fall yard waste and leaf collection. Also, the city has a leaf bag program and the bags will be picked up every week on the same day as trash pickup. In prior years the city provided the leaf bags, but starting this year, people are being required to purchase their own bags. Assistant Brighton DPW Director Patty Thomas tells WHMI the vacuuming schedule has been determined by dividing the city into districts, in which each will receive two visits. Thomas says the city will make a third swing of the neighborhoods if the need is there and the weather permits. Residents are asked to rake their leaves into the street or gutter, which is a change in procedure from past years. Thomas says only leaves should be raked to the curb, since twigs and other yard waste can’t be processed by the vacuuming machine. Also, the city cannot vacuum leaves that are near or under a parked car. Citizens are asked to spread leaves out over the length of their property’s curb line. Residents should refer to the the city’s website (link below) to see when the leaf vacuum truck will be in their neighborhood. Residents are also reminded that burning leaves is prohibited by city ordinance. (TT)

Area veterans will be honored during a special film event next month. The documentary film “Our Vietnam Generation” will be shown Thursday, November 9th at the Historic Howell Theater at 7pm. Created by Michigan filmmaker Keith Famie, the film features Pinckney-area resident and business owner, John Colone, who discusses how he was shot five times while serving in Vietnam, and only years later learned he had been toe-tagged and placed in a body bag. "Our Vietnam Generation" includes extensive footage shot in Livingston County, including from the Ride to Remember, an annual motorcycle ride held by Livingston County-based Rolling Thunder Chapter 5. The film also includes an interview with former Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte, an Army veteran who discusses an emotional mid-1990s trip to the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. Brighton-area resident Mike Omstead, a former U.S. Marine, also participated in the film and says it's difficult to verbalize let alone make others understand his experiences overseas and after returning home. All attending veterans will receive free popcorn courtesy of the Howell Theater. The film is being sponsored by the Brighton District Library, Hartland Cromaine Library and the Howell Carnegie District Library. (JK)

Meet The Candidates Forum Held In Fenton Meet The Candidates Forum Held In Fenton

Candidates for Fenton Mayor and City Council gathered to answer questions from the public and the Political Action Team, Tuesday night. Around 100 people attended the Meet the Candidates event held at the Fenton Community & Cultural Center. Incumbent Mayor Sue Osborn has held the office for the past 19 years and is seeking re-election. She said she wants to continue servicing the people of Fenton and that she loves the city and the people in it. Osborn said she wants to see the progress they’ve made so far continue. She said they need to focus on neighborhood restoration over the next 2 years and connect with the community to find out what they want and how to fund it. Osborn said they held a community forum 5 years ago and were able to complete all of the ideas that came from it. If re-elected she said she believes it time to hold another one with emphasis on sidewalks, sewer, water, and work on the streets. One of her challengers is City Councilwoman Cherie Smith. Smith said if elected, she wants to keep the momentum the city has going, but also wants to make improving the infrastructure a priority. She said that as a widow, she would also bring an under-represented point-of-view to the office. She said she because of it, she has a different perspective, and that it is a different segment of society that has ever been represented in Fenton, either on City Council or in the Mayor’s office. Smith said she represents the average citizen in the community and everyone will be on an equal playing field. Both candidates recognized the need to open discussion about the city millage rate which hasn’t changed since 1976. The third candidate for mayor is Kurt Wilkinson, who was not present at the forum. None of the mayoral or city council candidates running when asked had ever met Wilkinson, with a couple saying they had only recently seen him on Facebook. The 5 candidates are running for 3 City Council spots were also part of the forum. Councilman Brad Jacobs is not seeking re-election. Incumbent Scott Grossmeyer believes in the recent growth the community has seen and wants to keep it on the right path. He’s lived in the area for nearly 4 decades and has spent 20 years involved in the community by way of the Planning Commission, Zoning Board, and the last 4 years on City Council. Fellow incumbent Dave McDermott is seeking re-election as well. McDermott said for City Council to be effective, it has to be reflective of the community. He said he is the only candidate with proven success in three important community aspects, those being business, community service, and public service. Donald “Skip” Bancroft has spent the past 10 years serving on the Assessor’s Board of Review, the Planning Commission, and the Zoning Board of Appeals. A lifelong Fenton resident, he pledged to always be himself, to always try to do the right thing, and be an open servant to the people. Tracy Bottecelli spoke of a heart for preserving the history of the city and longtime connections her family has had with Fenton. She said that as funny as it sounds, a lot of people in the community have relied on the Bottecelli name, that they know where she comes from, and that they know what she believes. Sean Sage called himself the “eclectic candidate” as he’s coached sports and theater, while also serving on the Zoning Board of Appeals and is Chair of the Parks and Rec board. He believes he can bring valuable expertise on the construction side of things to City Council if elected. These races will all be decided on Election Day, November 7th.(MK)

A Brighton High School teacher and two students gave a presentation on Patriot Week at the Brighton Board of Education meeting Monday night. One of the subjects discussed involved the activities that take place during the week, observed during the first week of school in the fall. Michelle Holowicki, who teaches a class called “Close Up”, tells WHMI that a requirement of the year-long course is that the students take a trip to Washington, D.C. during the spring. Holowicki adds that the Close Up class is in charge of Patriot Week, and also organizes and supervises mock elections and school activities for civic holidays. Superintendent Greg Gray says observing Patriot Week, and doing so in a proper and respectful manner, was an outgrowth of Board of Education discussions that started several years ago. Patriot Week is celebrated from Sept. 11th – the date of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington – to Sept. 17th, Constitution Day - the anniversary of the signing of the US Constitution. Thus far, Michigan and 13 other states have recognized Patriot Week with gubernatorial and legislative proclamations and resolutions. (TT)

Brighton Officials Seek Input With Biennial SurveyBrighton Officials Seek Input With Biennial Survey

Every two years, Brighton residents get the opportunity to tell their elected and appointed officials how they feel about their community by filling out the Brighton Biennial survey. Two years have elapsed since the last survey, and — with many new residents, and changing community conditions with the passage of time — another survey has been drawn up for the public to fill out. The city has been doing the surveys since 2009, making this year the fifth time. The last survey, done in 2015, resulted in 230 responses, a major improvement over the 139 surveys in 2013 that were completed and returned. City Manager Nate Geinzer says although some of the questions are similar, others are different this time around. He says that with many new personnel on staff, city officials “wanted to put a fresh twist on it and start a new baseline. A number of the questions are designed to gather feedback on current initiatives and issues.” Geinzer says that way, officials “can find guidance on the community’s priorities and preferences.” A sampling of the questions in the new survey involve such issues as the quality of city services, quality of police services, condition of streets, ease of downtown parking, downtown walkability, overall appearance of the city and its downtown, recreational opportunities, appearance of Mill Pond Park and neighborhood safety. The surveys are online and accessible via the city’s website (link below). Postcards with the city’s web address will also be mailed out in the next week. Residents who would like a hard-copy survey may obtain one at city hall, 200 N. First St., during regular office hours (8 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Friday). In such cases, the completed survey must be returned to city hall. (TT)

A traffic stop in Lyon Township turned up a gun and drugs. A deputy with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Lyon Township Substation is said to have observed a vehicle traveling westbound on Pontiac Trail near Old Plank Road around 9:19pm Tuesday, towing a trailer with no working lights. A traffic stop was initiated and a report states the deputy discovered the driver was in possession of a loaded firearm, which was concealed in his waistband. A quantity of Marijuana and narcotic paraphernalia were also found inside of the glovebox. The driver, a 56-year-old Grosse Pointe man, and a passenger, a 58-year-old Galesburg man, were both found to have valid medical marijuana cards. However, the Office says the Grosse Pointe man did not have a Concealed Pistol License or CPL, thus he was subsequently arrested for having a concealed weapon in his possession. He was lodged in the Oakland County Jail pending the issuance of criminal charges. The passenger was released at the scene. Detectives are continuing with the investigation. (JM)

He says Hartland welcomed new subdivisions and businesses but also completed several projects to enhance parks and roads. During the address, updates will be given on the Safer Roads initiative and paving work done, along with what’s coming up this fall and next spring for Heritage and Settlers Parks.

An attempt by the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office to arrest a man with warrants out for his arrest did not go according to plan, but authorities say there is no danger to the public. A large amount of police activity in Howell last night prompted concern from the community, as a number of police vehicles and tactical units gathered near the Thompson Lake boat launch. Police vehicles blocked several streets, including parts of Summit and Madison, to create a perimeter around the residence in question. Sheriff Mike Murphy says authorities were looking for a man with a couple of felony warrants out for his arrest. Murphy says the individual has an extensive criminal history so authorities wanted to error on the side of caution to make sure they could arrest him without anyone getting hurt. Murphy says there were a few people at the residence, but the man they were looking for was not there. Murphy says neighbors were not in danger and no one needs to panic. The roads were closed down around 4pm, according to neighbors who say they were asked by police to remain in their homes. The roads remained blocked and police units on scene until approximately 8pm. The Sheriff’s Office is expected to release further details today. (DK)

Local authorities are still working to locate a man they say is considered violent and wanted on felony warrants. The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office says information was received that 38-year-old Edward Franklin Hulbert was at an address on Bates Street in the City of Howell last night. Hulbert has two outstanding felony warrants; one for a probation violation on a felony assault charge and another for aggravated stalking. Investigation revealed Hulbert also made statements about not going back to prison. The Office says that information, coupled with his lengthy violent criminal history, led to the activation of the Sheriff’s Tactical Response Team at the address. Also assisting on scene were Green Oak Township and Brighton Police, as well as the Hamburg Tactical Response Team. Authorities were able to make contact with two people inside the home, with one taken into custody on outstanding warrants. The other person was detained, questioned and released. Hulbert remains at large and the public’s help is being sought to locate him. The Sheriff’s Office says he is considered violent but at this point, access to weapons or a vehicle are unknown. Hulbert is described as a white male, with red hair and brown eyes, standing 5 foot 10 and weighing 180 pounds. Multiple photos can be viewed in the attached press release. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 517-546-2440 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. (JM)

October Is National Dental Hygiene MonthOctober Is National Dental Hygiene Month

October is National Dental Hygiene Month and local health and dental officials say don’t wait until something hurts to be seen. The Livingston County Health Department is reminding residents about the importance of good dental hygiene and dental health, which includes forming good habits. That includes regular trips to the dentist to help identify any problems early on, which can become painful and costly later on. Allison Restauri is a registered dental hygienist who lives locally and says being prevention specialists, they try to prevent things from happening. She says if something doesn’t hurt right away, people will put things off but the issues can quickly morph into worse problems, and then they feel bad or ashamed because they haven’t been in. Restauri also teaches at an area dental school and community college. With regard to tooth pain, children will often miss school but other issues can become serious in older adults. She says people will come in for what they think is just a cleaning but students end up educating the patient about nutrition, inflammation and irritation in the mouth and how it can lead to other things. In some cases, she says students have actually found some indicators of other health issues and led to doctor referrals, later to learn they were pre-diabetic. Restauri says it’s important to take a pro-active approach to dental health throughout your lifespan, which is necessary for overall health but the amount of need and the lack of care that some patients have had is really surprising. Restauri says its critical children see an oral health specialist by their first birthday but also vital that senior citizens continue dental care, as needs change with age. She says there is still a need in Livingston County with the under-served and children, noting there are oral health care providers in the area that donate time and other offices that do free or low-income based care, including VINA Dental Clinic and the new dental center through the Livingston County Health Department. Restauri says there are great resources locally and it takes all of those to make a difference. Various tips and information are available on the Livingston County Health Department’s website through the link provided. (JM)

Map Amendment Could Pave Way For New Residential Units In Putnam TownshipMap Amendment Could Pave Way For New Residential Units In Putnam Township

The recommendation to approve a map amendment that could allow a new condominium development in Putnam Township has been passed. The Putnam Township Planning Commission held a public hearing during their meeting Wednesday night for the rezoning of 15.5 acres at 875 Patterson Lake Road. The parcel is currently Agricultural/Open Space and would become RS-3, or Single Family Residential. Planning Commission Chair Jeff Lomber said this amendment would bring the lot, which is currently non-compliant with the master plan, into compliance. The owner of the land has shown intent to construct 10 new condominium units. Zoning Administrator Ken Damrel said the applicant has supplied a preliminary site plan, which was available to the commissioners at the meeting. The site plan was not up for review but was there to help the Commissioners see what the developer has in mind. Damrel said they are not bound to it and still will have to go through the formal process from the beginning. The land has previously been an eyesore in the community as the previous owners passed away 15 years ago and the land had gone largely untouched since. Commissioner Jeff Beemer said this map amendment was a no-brainer and the board voted unanimously to recommend its approval to the Township Board of Trustees. (MK)

Communications Manager Kathleen Yanik said the expo, which is returning for its 19th year, can be a valuable asset to caregivers who might be feeling overwhelmed. Yanik suggests that caregivers not try doing it all by themselves and to reach out for help when they need it. She said anything like Meals on Wheels, finding paid in-home help, or taking a class on caregiving can greatly reduce stress.

The 2017 Grand Marshal of downtown Howell’s annual Fantasy of Lights Parade is longtime Director of the Howell Carnegie District Library, Kathleen Zaenger. The Howell Area Chamber of Commerce says Fantasy of Lights Grand Marshals are selected based on their contribution to the community and awarding Zaenger the title seems to be a fitting way to honor her many years of dedicated service. Zaenger has been at the library’s helm for 38 years, is a past president of the Michigan Library Association, and Livingston County’s 2012 Citizen of the Year. She is an active Howell Rotarian that plays a big part in Tour de Livingston, is involved in Walk for Warmth, and Bowl for Kids’ Sake to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters. Chamber members say Zaenger is a leader whose knowledge and innovation has created a library that is a cornerstone of the city. Zaenger will be retiring from the library at the end of the year, but not before partaking in the parade and riding in the Grand Marshal float to light the city’s Christmas tree. The 34th annual Fantasy of Lights Parade is scheduled for Friday, November 24th, in downtown Howell. (DK)

A truck driver has been arraigned on charges resulting from a crash last April on US-23 in Green Oak Township that left three people dead. 62-year-old Gary Bruce Erard was arraigned Thursday in 53rd District Court on three misdemeanor counts of moving violation causing death. Green Oak Township Police say Erard failed to stop April 23rd as he approached other vehicles on southbound US-23, south of Lee Road, striking six other vehicles. One of the vehicles, a 1997 Ford Escort, was completely destroyed in the crash after the truck rolled over on top of it. The driver of the Escort, 51-year-old Robin David Brown of Milford, was pronounced dead at the scene, while his 25-year-old fiancé, Sarah Miller, also from Milford, later died from her injuries at the University of Michigan Hospital where she was taken after being removed from the wreckage by members of the Green Oak Township Fire Department. 52-year-old Roby James Steele of Davison, who was driving a 2016 Chevy Sonic that was also hit by the semi, was also pronounced dead at the scene after being removed from his vehicle. Erard is set for a pre-trial hearing October 24th. If convicted, he faces up to a year in jail. (JK)

Anti-Pipeline Group Claims Tainted Water Is Spilling Into WetlandAnti-Pipeline Group Claims Tainted Water Is Spilling Into Wetland

A grassroots anti-pipeline group is alleging that hundreds of gallons of a water/gasoline mix have been spilling into a wetland area near Pinckney. The group ET Go Home issued a press release Thursday saying that a senior official at the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality confirmed by smell the presence of gasoline in water emanating from the construction of the ET Rover pipeline. The group says that local residents noticed an ongoing water spill on the Rover pipeline construction easement on Dexter Townhall Road, near the border between Livingston and Washtenaw counties, at a place where the route construction crosses a wetland. The residents estimated that hundreds of gallons of water per minute were spilling over the silt-fence reservoir meant to temporarily contain water moving from one wetland to another. On Tuesday, the residents say they noticed that the still-spilling water smelled strongly of gasoline. They bottled a sample, took photos and video, and reported the smell to the Michigan DEQ, the federal EPA pollution hotline, and FERC. ET Go Home says a MDEQ representative arrived on the scene shortly thereafter, and that while he did not have a water testing kit with him, confirmed that the water smelled like gasoline. The group says that was backed up on Thursday when MDEQ Senior Environmental Quality Analyst Rebecca Taylor arrived at the easement to test the water, and “confirmed by nose with certainty that the leaking water contains gasoline.” Test results won’t be available until next week. However, nearby residents like Matthew Borke, say they are concerned about the danger the allegedly-tainted water may pose to the wetland’s wildlife in the meantime, especially since they say that the wetland flows into the Huron River watershed, which supplies drinking water to the city of Ann Arbor.
