5/7/13 - A beloved Fowlerville veterinarian is returning to work more than eight months after he was critically injured in an accident. 56-year-old Daniel Paternoster was riding his bike to work at the Fowlerville Veterinary Clinic last August 28th when he was hit by a car whose driver had become distracted and drifted off the roadway. Paternoster was originally listed in critical condition and remained unconscious for several days. He has undergone intense rehabilitation and family members say he is now able to return to the clinic on a limited basis. Meanwhile, the woman who hit Paternoster, 50-year-old Robin Fournier of Webberville, pleaded guilty Monday to one count of a moving violation causing serious impairment of bodily function. Fournier will be sentenced June 11th. The misdemeanor charge carries a possible penalty of up to 93 days in jail. (JK)
