Committee Formed In Aftermath Of Student Rapist CaseCommittee Formed In Aftermath Of Student Rapist Case

After a related series of sexual assaults involving Brighton students, and how the district handled the aftermath, a new committee has been formed to focus on the psychological well-being of Brighton students. The teen rapist in the case remains in a juvenile detention facility, but will not be allowed to return to the district or set foot on its property once he is released. However, in the intervening months between the revelation of the sexual assaults by the teen and the announcement that he would not be allowed back into the district, many parents repeatedly raised concerns with the board about the safety of their children if the teen were allowed to return, while the parents of the victims said their daughters were being harassed by other students and they feared the situation would only get worse if the teen was allowed to return. District officials said legal restrictions prevented them discussing the teen’s status publicly. In the aftermath, a newly-formed committee of district officials and social workers has been tasked with the responsibility of dealing with the problems of sexual harassment and assaults, bullying, cyber-bullying and other issues and, where necessary, with making changes with the social and emotional interests of the students in mind. Brighton Board of Education President Andy Burchfield said at the board meeting Monday night that it has been very difficult period for the district – perhaps the most difficult in its history – and he thanked the community for its support and patience. The newly-formed committee held its first meeting last week at the BECC Building with about 40 people present. Included were three board members, district administrators, social workers, at-risk and general counselors. The next meeting of the task force will be on January 17. Burchfield told the audience the board has learned a lot from what has transpired, and said as the task force continues its efforts, is looking at bringing forth a proposal that will include community involvement. Superintendent Greg Gray says as it moves forward, the committee will be working toward the ultimate goal of the psychological well-being of Brighton students. As such, he has given the committee the informal name of the “social and emotional task force”. One district parent, Todd Krebs, spoke at Monday night’s meeting questioning the quality of the legal advice the district had been receiving during the incident. He also said that statements made by a teacher at the November 27th board meeting that students would be taught “refusal skills, how to say no, and make sure it is said in a way that is clear a person means it.” Krebs said he was “stunned” by the “infuriating” implication that the victims of the rapes were somehow to blame and not the rapist himself. He urged the board to review the district’s heath curriculum to address that mind-set. (TT/JK)

Democrats Present Petition To Bishop On Grad Student Tax VoteDemocrats Present Petition To Bishop On Grad Student Tax Vote

Local Democrats and students have presented a petition to Republican Congressman Mike Bishop in regard to a student tax provision previously included in the Republican tax plan due to be voted on today. Dan Luria serves as the vice-chair for strategy on the Livingston County Democratic Executive Committee. On Monday, he delivered a petition to Bishop’s Brighton office that was signed by 290 residents of the 8th District. He and others say a little-noticed provision in the bill that passed the House would have made graduate students pay income tax on the graduate school tuition that universities waive in exchange for their work as instructors or researchers at universities. Critics contend that because students never actually see any money when their tuition is waived, the provision would have force them to borrow even more on their student loans to pay the taxes. Luria says the “provision is so unfair that it was too much for even 31 Republicans, who wrote their leaders asking it to be removed from the tax bill.” After student demonstrations in Washington, D.C., the provision was taken out of the bill as it was hammered out in conference committee, but Luria and others are questioning why Bishop voted for it the first place. Bishop serves on the House Ways and Means Committee, which wrote the House version of the tax bill. Bishop’s communications director, Annalyse Beaver, maintains that the Congressman listened to students’ concerns with higher education provisions included in the House version of the tax plan and worked with his Ways and Means colleagues to be sure students will still be able to receive tuition waivers tax-free and can continue to deduct the interest paid on student loans. Bishop says it is critical students are able to “achieve their dreams and not be overwhelmed by the cost of higher education.” The sweeping $1.5 trillion tax bill set for a vote today slashes the tax rate for corporations from 35 to 21% and reduces taxes on the wealthiest Americans, while making more modest tax reductions for most others. It's not expected to win any Democratic votes. The complete statement from his office is attached. (JM/JK)

Firefighters from two local departments took time to ring bells for the Salvation Army of Livingston County this past weekend. Last Saturday, the Brighton Area Fire Department once again took over Red Kettle locations all over Brighton and Green Oak Township. The Brighton and Green Oak Fire Departments partnered up this year, and firefighters rang at six of the 16 locations, ringing for a total of 54 hours. This marks the 17th year that the Brighton Area Fire Department has been taking over kettles for the local Corps, which officials say makes a huge impact on donation totals. This year, the combined departments brought in over $8,300 in donations - almost $2,000 more than last year. As of Monday, December 17th, the Salvation Army had raised $252,170.21 – or 64% of their overall goal of $385,000. With one week remaining for bell ringing, the Salvation Army is asking the community to help reach that goal. The Red Kettles will be out through this Saturday to collect monetary donations. The Salvation Army’s Corps Community Center, located at 503 Lake Street in Howell, will be open through Friday this week and then Tuesday through Friday next week, to accept donations. Those unable to make a donation in person can also make donations online through the provided link. Facebook photo. (JM)

Monday night saw a retirement ceremony for Genoa Township Official Barbara Figurski. At age 86, Barbara Figurski has served on Genoa Township’s Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals for the past 48 years.

Genoa Township Manager Michael Archinal told WHMI she is responsible for shaping Genoa Township into what it is today with her overseeing several major construction projects done to the community. Figurski said one of the highlights of her career was receiving the privilege of having a township road named in her honor. The road that meets between Grand River and Latson right behind the Howell Art Van was named Figurski Drive after her 40th Anniversary as a township official. Both past and present township representatives spoke on Figurski’s behalf and praised her efforts she put towards the community. Figurski said she felt blessed with all of the gifts and speeches she received. She also praised Genoa Township saying it is an amazing township with the most amazing people. (DF)

A Fowlerville man is hospitalized in critical condition after jumping off a freeway overpass in Handy Township this afternoon. At approximately 3pm, deputies with the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the overpass on Fowlerville Road at I-96 for an individual that had jumped off the overpass. Sheriff Mike Murphy tells WHMI preliminary investigation reveals that a 64-year-old Fowlerville man jumped from the overpass onto I-96. Murphy says the man was not struck by any passing vehicle or vehicles and was transported by Livingston County EMS to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, where he was last listed in Critical condition. I-96 was shut down for a time this afternoon while authorities responded. Murphy says there is nothing to suggest that this was anything other than a suicide attempt and the incident remains under investigation. (JM)

Fatal Fire In Hartland Township Under Investigation Fatal Fire In Hartland Township Under Investigation

A fatal fire in Hartland Township is under investigation. The Hartland Deerfield Fire Authority was dispatched around 3:43am to a structure fire with reports of an occupant being trapped in the 5000 block of Tipsico Lake Road. Upon arrival, Fire Chief Adam Carroll says about 75% of the structure was completely involved in fire and the remaining 25% was heavily charged with smoke, noting conditions and temperatures were well above survivable. He says crews went to work trying to locate the victim and eventually did. Crews further protected the area for the ensuing investigation, which is being conducted by both Michigan State police and the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Carroll says that is pretty standard protocol with a fire fatality and nothing really unusual. Carroll says there was a lot of fire and it took a while to get it contained. Crews were on scene for about six hours and were able to protect exposure to another home on the property. The structure that burned was a studio-type apartment and is considered a total loss. It was located near a main home on the property, and two individuals in that residence were able to make it out safely. Carroll says recognizing and getting fire departments notified of fires as early as possible is important because they grow so fast and the earlier head start they can get, generally the better the outcome. He says they certainly didn’t get the outcome they wanted but based on the amount of fire upon arrival, crews did the best they could with what they had to work with, which is what they face sometimes. Carroll says it was a long night for everybody and difficult, but they did the best they could for the victim. Michigan State Police Lieutenant Jeremy Brewer with the Brighton Post identified the victim only as a white male in his mid-20’s, pending notification of family. There have been reports that the victim was a transgender woman who was new to the area and had moved here from South Carolina. Lt. Brewer says early investigative reports indicate no signs of foul play but noted the investigation is just beginning. (JM)

A local nonprofit will benefit from the Howell Public Schools’ food drive, which amassed more than 25,000 canned goods. Student generosity came through in a big way for the district-wide canned food drive to support Gleaners Community Food Bank. Gleaners helps local families in need by providing access to nutritious food and resources. The food drive, planned by Howell High School’s leadership class, began in November and collected 25,769 canned goods and $1,679 in donations. This exceeded the students' goal of collecting 24,000 canned goods to help those in need. Leading the donations in the drive was Howell High School with 8,895 cans, followed by Hutchings Elementary with 3,485 cans, and Southwest Elementary with 3,412 cans. Gleaners operates five distribution centers across southeast Michigan, one of which is located in Howell.

A local man who allegedly assaulted police officers when they tried to serve a search warrant at his home has been found competent to stand trial. 45-year-old Patrick Gizinski recently appeared in 53rd District Court for a hearing where the results of an evaluation from the state forensic center were presented. Gizinski has been found competent to assist in his own defense and returns to court January 9th for a probable cause conference, which will determine whether there is enough evidence to send the case to trial. Gizinski is charged with felonious assault and three counts of resisting police for throwing furniture at Livingston County Sheriff’s deputies as they tried to enter his Marion Township home on August 16th. Police had arrived at the home to serve a search warrant in an investigation of a breaking and entering complaint involving the theft of several thousand dollars of materials and tools reportedly stolen from a home under construction. None of the deputies were injured in the incident. Gizinski was also charged with one count of receiving and concealing stolen property valued at $200 but less than $1,000. The August incident is not the first run-in with the law for Gizinski, who was convicted of assault and battery, resisting police and disturbing the peace in 2015 after police say he attacked a coach for not playing his son during a Charyl Stockwell Preparatory Academy basketball game.

Authorities are working to locate the man who robbed the Arby’s in Hartland Township. Deputies with the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched around 10:30pm Monday on a report of an armed robbery at the Arby’s located on M-59/ East Highland Road near US-23.

The Sheriff's Office says the suspect displayed a handgun during the robbery but neither of the employees were injured in the incident. The suspect is described as a black male standing approximately six feet tall with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, dark blue workout pants with a black ski mask. He made off with an undisclosed amount of money during the incident. A K9 track was attempted but was unable to locate the subject. Deputies were assisted at the scene by the Brighton City Police Department. The incident remains under investigation by the Livingston County Detective Bureau. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Bureau at 517-546-8477 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP. (JM)

New Hearing Set To Determine Status Of Teen RapistNew Hearing Set To Determine Status Of Teen Rapist

A hearing has been set to determine the disposition of a Brighton Township teen convicted of sexually assaulting several girls. The teen, who is not being named because he is a juvenile, was originally charged with 31 felonies connected to allegations that he sexually assaulted three girls. He entered into a plea deal in which he admitted to six of the charges, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Having served his original 45 day sentence in the Monroe County Youth Center, a hearing was held December 4th in Livingston County Juvenile Court where Referee Chelsea Thomason ruled the teen would not be released from the facility because he had not yet received a psychological evaluation, nor had a safety plan been created. Presumably those are now in place as court records show a new hearing is set for January 2nd. The case has generated widespread publicity due to community outrage over the teen’s sentencing to include outpatient therapy, as opposed to the intensive inpatient rehabilitation that had been part of his plea agreement. However, Thomason chose to override that based on recommendations from the boy’s attorney and probation officer that residential treatment was not necessary. (JK)

Proposed Encore Village Gains Preliminary Site Plan ApprovalProposed Encore Village Gains Preliminary Site Plan Approval

Site plans for a new multi-unit rental and senior citizen development in Brighton Township have received preliminary approval. Developers intend to build Encore Village and its 380 living units on 147 acres near Pickerel and Woodruff Lake. The project’s preliminary site plans were brought before Brighton Township’s Board of Trustees in September, but the issue was tabled due to a lack of necessary paperwork. Developers returned Monday and received unanimous approval from the board for the preliminary site plan and final conditional zoning agreement. Residents have spoken out against the project in the past and a few did at Monday’s meeting as well. One concern was in regards to the amount of traffic the development would bring in and its effect. Township Planner Kelly Mathews says a “very detailed” road study was reviewed by the township’s engineer and the Livingston County Road Commission at the beginning of the process. Necessary improvements were listed that the developer is obligated to follow through with as part of their permits with the Road Commission. The township is also receiving $75,000 to mitigate any traffic issues that arise from the development. Community members have also expressed environmental concerns several times throughout the project process. Mathews says developers have performed a couple of studies, but she acknowledges some residents have said they lack detail and questioned if the information is flawed. Mathews says what was submitted is typical compared to what anyone else has turned in in the past, and that the township accepts what developers present. A third issue that was addressed by Township Manager Brian Vick is in regards to the development's expected sewer fees. Despite what some say they've heard, Vick says Encore Village will not be receiving a discount on REU, or Residential Equivalent Unit fees. REU is the unit of measurement used to establish sewer rates for system users. (DK)

Genoa Man's Marijuana Conviction UpheldGenoa Man's Marijuana Conviction Upheld

The Michigan Court of Appeals has reaffirmed the marijuana conviction for a Brighton-area man. Dennis Keith Towne was sentenced in January 2014 to two days in jail and one year of probation for manufacturing marijuana, which police said was a "shared grow" among himself, his wife and their adult child, who were each medical marijuana caregivers. Michigan State Police troopers were at Towne's Genoa Township home in December 2011 looking for his son on a felony complaint. When Towne indicated his son was not there and denied troopers entry to search for him, one trooper left to obtain a search warrant, while two others waited at the house. As they waited, one of the troopers saw "an excessive amount of smoke coming from the chimney" and saw Towne "literally shoving handfuls of marijuana into a fire." After troopers broke a window to the home and made entry they found an 18-gallon plastic tote about one-quarter full of "processed marijuana" and 75 live plants in the basement. Towne appealed the conviction all the way to the Michigan Supreme Court, arguing that a Livingston County Circuit Court judge was mistaken in denying a defense motion to dismiss the state’s evidence because it violated his Fourth Amendment protection from “unreasonable searches and seizures.” In October, the state’s highest court remanded the case back to the Court of Appeals and asked it to reconsider in light of a recent ruling in a similar case that officers had trespassed in the course of seeking information. But the Court of Appeals said it stood by its original decision, saying that the trooper in Towne’s case had witnessed the activities while on land not considered legally covered by the Fourth Amendment.

Former County Commissioner Condemns Response To Meme ControversyFormer County Commissioner Condemns Response To Meme Controversy

Two Livingston County Commissioners have been called on by a former colleague to resign based on their response to residents who spoke out against a questionable social media post. Former County Commissioner Steve Williams attended the Board of Commissioners’ Monday meeting and requested an apology from current Commissioners Bob Bezotte and Dave Domas. Bezotte, who was not present Monday, came under fire earlier this month after he posted a meme to his personal Facebook page calling two African-American Congresswomen “despicable Democratic hags.” Judy Daubenmier, who heads up the Livingston County Democrats, said it was both racist and sexist. Bezotte called her a liar and suggested his page had been hacked only to later admit he had indeed posted it, saying it was done inadvertently. In an emailed statement to WHMI, Daubenmier said, "...the former sheriff’s behavior was rude and totally unacceptable. But the claim that Livingston County Democrats somehow colluded with Steve Williams to criticize Commissioner Bezotte is just crazy. I don’t need anybody to tell me when to stand up against bigotry and neither did the rest of the people who were at the commission’s meeting earlier this month." Her full statement is posted below. Williams, who lost his seat on the board to Bezotte last year, also called out Commissioner Domas, alleging he supported Bezotte despite knowing the former sheriff had engaged in unethical behavior including promoting his son-in-law to lieutenant and using county resources for campaigning. He went to say Bezotte was a “skunk” who couldn’t change his stripes and called on both commissioners to resign. Domas responded at the end of the meeting, saying Williams was being “dishonest” to suggest he orchestrated Bezotte’s victory and told Williams he shouldn’t condemn people who beat him and then join forces with the opposition party. Williams’ remarks also drew criticism from County Republican chair Dan Wholihan who said in a Facebook post that what happened at both meetings was unacceptable and that nothing was accomplished based on Williams’ remarks. He says cameras should be removed from county commission meetings because people are playing to the cameras for publicity stunts. In response, Jordan Genso, a local activist and former head of the Livingston County Democrats, said that, "Transparency is about providing good governance, and should be a non-partisan issue.” Genso says it is disappointing that the chair of the county Republicans wants to end transparency because he finds it problematic for the Republican Party, adding that, “A strong leader wouldn't sacrifice good governance because they find inconvenient for their party." Wholihan says that misses the point. "Any member of the public can attend commissioner hearings. I support transparency, but cameras are different and invite publicity stunts that distract from the real work being done." You can view the meeting video through the link below.(DK/JK)

Milford Twp. Zoning Board Rejects Planned Housing DevelopmentMilford Twp. Zoning Board Rejects Planned Housing Development

A rezoning request that was met with disapproval by both the Milford Township Planning Commission and Board of Trustees has also been denied by the Zoning Board of Appeals. This is the latest rejection for developer Ray LeDuc in his effort to get approval for the rezoning of his proposed Belle Terre subdivision. LeDuc is hoping to build the 157 house sub on approximately 67 acres west of Milford Road and south of Rowe Road. To do so requires rezoning from restricted office and suburban residential to single family residential. The Milford Township Planning Commission unanimously rejected the conditional rezoning request at their August meeting for reasons including incompatibility with the township's master plan and the negative effect it would have on adjacent neighborhoods. That was followed by a denial from trustees. The developer previously told the planning commission that the rezoning would be appropriate and serve as a transition between higher and lower intensity land uses. Residents opposed to the change collected around 1300 signatures, roughly 1000 of them online, against rezoning. Traffic and the disruption of wetlands were often cited as concerns. Officials say LeDuc may now seek to gain the rezoning through litigation. (JK)

Trauma Healing Class For Police, Fire, First Responders ComingTrauma Healing Class For Police, Fire, First Responders Coming

A program to help those on the front lines of emergencies heal from trauma is getting a test run locally. Firstline is a 14 week course tailored towards police officers, fire fighters, and first responders who may be suffering from the effects of trauma. It’s being taught by the organization that runs Reboot, which aims to help combat veterans suffering from the same affliction. Reboot reports that 22 veterans commit suicide daily, but there have no such cases from their 2,500 graduates. Reboot’s Dave Ferris is helping launch Firstline and believes it’s now time to reach out to those working in emergency services. He said there are an increasing number of suicides within police, fire, and first responders. “The problem is they face constant trauma, but they’re not talking to anybody and their not sharing that trauma. (It’s like) because sometimes, even in the military, if we acknowledge that trauma, we’re acknowledging weakness, and that’s just not true. And that’s what traps us in that cycle. We have to get rid of that stigma that accompanies it. Just because I’m admitting I have trauma in my life, doesn’t admit that I am a problem, or am weak, or anything of that nature. It just says I recognize myself as a human being.” Ferris said the Firstline material will not be radically different in its concept from Reboot’s, but it will be different in its application. Being a beta test site unit, the work they do will be monitored carefully to see how the curriculum works. They will be using curriculum from author and Reverend Chris Adsit who wrote the Combat Healing Manual and the First Responders Healing Manual. The program is slated to begin on February 12th at a location Ferris said they hope to have confirmed soon. There is no cost to participate and childcare and meals will be provided.

Local Businesses And Residents Report Receiving Counterfeit MoneyLocal Businesses And Residents Report Receiving Counterfeit Money

The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office says there’s been an uptick in the use of counterfeit money in the area recently. The Sheriff’s Office received three counterfeit money complaints December 12th. Two of the complaints originated from businesses in Genoa Township and a third report came from a private resident who unknowingly accepted counterfeit money after selling an item on Craigslist. The deputies who responded to these complaints collected counterfeit twenty-dollar bills. The Sheriff’s Office also received reports of individuals who have passed or attempted to pass “For Motion Picture Use Only” fake currency at local businesses in the Livingston County area. The movie prop fake money looks similar to actual US currency but is marked “for motion picture use only” on the front and back. The prop money typically comes in hundred dollar bills but is available in other denominations. Businesses and residents are encouraged to check all cash collected for watermarks, security threads, and 3-D marks. Counterfeit detection pens are useful in detecting fraudulent currency as well. Anyone with information regarding the counterfeit money incidents is asked to immediately contact the Sheriff’s Office at 517-546-2440. Reports of suspected counterfeit bills can be made to the Sheriff’s Office, Michigan State Police or local law enforcement agency.

Nearly 3.5 million people from the mitten state will be taking to planes, trains, automobiles and other modes of transportation during the year-end holiday travel period. AAA Michigan says it’s looking at another record breaking year when it comes to holiday travel and one of the busiest travel times is the week going into Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Livingston County residents can expect crowded airports and busy roads according to AAA Michigan spokeswoman Susan Hiltz. She reminds anyone traveling that preparation is key. At Detroit Metro Airport, Hiltz says today is deemed one of the worst days to travel between 3 and 5pm and from a delay standpoint, research shows it will take one-and-a-half times longer to get out. Since the majority of people will be traveling by car though, she says it’s important to make sure vehicles are prepped for winter travel to avoid getting stranded on the side of the road, delaying plans. Hiltz says gas prices have been improving across the state, noting there’s less demand this time of year so prices at the pump should be dropping a bit. (JM)

Green Oak Township Looks To Finish 2018-19 Budget Early As PossibleGreen Oak Township Looks To Finish 2018-19 Budget Early As Possible

New developments in Green Oak Township could make finalizing next fiscal year’s budget a bit more challenging than usual. The Board of Trustees reviewed the draft budget for fiscal year 2018-19 in preparation of working it out through January. Supervisor Mark St. Charles said that while the budget doesn’t drastically change from year to year, unknowns in the building department are going to be a big topic moving forward. St. Charles said infrastructure on several developments is beginning to be put in, but they don’t know whether they will end up with 75, 100, or 150 new homes. Once these infrastructures are in, the supervisor said that will make 2019 and 2020’s budgets more predictable. St. Charles one area they can make next year’s budget easier is by paying the $1.5 million down payment on the police station this year. The Board will look to pass an amendment at their next meeting to do so. St. Charles said that it looks like they’re going to need that money sooner than they expected, and that it was going to have to come out of a budget sometime, anyway. The Board of Trustees also scheduled two budget workshops to take place next month. The first will be at 4:30pm on Monday, January 8th, and the second at 4:30pm on Tuesday, January 16th. Both will be held at the township hall. Green Oak Township’s new fiscal year begins on April 1st. (MK)
