Effective Sept. 9, all seven Fenton parks and nearly the entire LeRoy Street corridor, from Dibbleville to the north city limits, have free Internet access available to residents and visitors. Tri-County Wireless, a Fenton-based company in operation since Aug. 2004, donated all the equipment and labor at no cost to the city or residents. “It was put in place by Mr. Rockman before he died last March,” said Tri-County Wireless CTO Fred Moses. “He felt very strongly that free wireless access was crucial to keeping our downtown areas vibrant and growing.

I especially want to thank them for their positive behavior support programs in all the schools. So many staff, teachers and administrators go beyond their job expectations.

Rinse and dry the copper with a clean cloth. Lemon’s citric acid dissolves tarnish, while the salt grains scour to reveal shine. 2 Grease on clothing Whisk away grease from clothing by adding one can of light colored soda (like 7UP), into a washing machine while its filling, then toss in greasy clothes. Add detergent and run through a regular wash cycle. The soda’s citric acid breaks down oils so they wash out of fabrics and down the drain.

See HOT LINE throughout Times street talk Compiled by Tim Jagielo, Staff Reporter “Yes, I really honestly use it more for pictures.” readership study tells us the same thing — that the Hot lines are far and away the most desired, the most read, and the most popular component of the Times. To those of you who indignantly demand that the Times require a source for all Hot line comments…well, that is simply not practical. In today’s technologically advanced environment, there is no reliable method to verify authorship of any open forum commentary. Besides, anonymity, more often than not, fosters the truth. And anonymity is the secret sauce that drives the success of the Hot lines. That leaves the Times with the simple decision to either publish Hot lines, or eliminate them…there is no other option. And so the Times will continue to publish the Hot lines. And the Times will continue to be the voice of the people. “Yes, I use it for out-oftown family, and social networking.” — Mercy Leonard Fenton “Yes, I connect with friends from school and work. “ “No, I don’t want everyone to know my business.” “Yes, I use it to keep in contact with friends.

Cider Mill Crossing, a mobile home park located in the township, will be part of a public auction in Lansing on Sept 28. Township officials are debating whether to purchase the mobile home park. Also owed is $1,334,540 in delinquent taxes to Livingston County from Cider Mill Crossing, which is located at Old U.S. 23 and Parshallville Road in Tyrone Township. When factoring in county interest and administration fees, the township must pay $1,757,883 back to Livingston County. Due to laws in Livingston County, all delinquent taxes within a municipality are collected by the county. “The biggest risk “Either way, here is if someone does we’re going buy it for $100,000 and turns it back in four to take the years,” said Supervi- hit or buy it sor Mike Cunningham. and run it.” “We’ll still owe $1 mil- David Kurtz Tyrone Township lion in taxes.” treasurer The best-case scenario for Tyrone Township would involve an outside bidder committed to running Cider Mill Crossing.

The board discussed the possibility of buying Cider Mill Crossing for $1 million in order to retain the highest return on rebates possible. If an investor bought Cider Mill Crossing for $1 million, the township would receive a rebate of $779,600 split between various funds. An additional $717,232 sewer bond rate would also be paid to the township. However, if only $100,000 is invested into the mobile home park, Tyrone Township will receive a $77,960 rebate from various funds and $71,723 from a sewer rebate fund. The board of trustees voted to table further discussion in lieu of new information and to hold a special meeting before the Sept. 28 auction.

Last week, the Rose Township Board of Trustees approved a cost participation agreement with Oakland County for sirens. The issue has been moved to the planning commission for approval, said Supervisor Alison Kalcec. The township’s portion of the cost will be $69,000. Kalcec expects installations to begin in late fall. Currently, the township has no sirens of its own. Enhanced recycling The Rose Township Board of Trustees has approved enhanced recycling service for the township, which will expand items that residents can drop off on Oct. 1, at the North Oakland County Fire Authority (NOCFA) fire hall, at Rose Center and Milford roads. At no extra cost, residents will now be able to drop off grocery bags, phone books, plastic containers, pots and pans, newspaper, clear glass, aluminum cans, junk mail, and office paper.

TRI-COUNTY TIMES www.tctimes.com report Police&Fire HIT AND RUN Michigan State Police troopers responded to an abandoned vehicle partially blocking the roadway in the 14600 block of Dixie Highway in Holly Township on Sept.18. The vehicle had struck several wooden guard posts the night before, coming to rest partially in a ditch. The troopers found, and spoke to the owner of the car, who directed them to speak with his wife, who had been driving last night. She said they had been arguing when the accident occurred the night before. She also admitted to drinking, and still smelled of intoxicants. The driver could not be charged with an OWI because of the time that had passed, but she was cited for violating the basic speed law, and failing to stop and identify at the scene of a property damage crash. LOST COW On Sept. 16, Michigan State Police troopers were dispatched to property on the 1100 block of Terrace Road in Davisburg. The property owner needed assistance collecting a cow that had moved to a neighbor’s property, and the neighbor was threatening to shoot the cow. The state troopers helped to keep the cow under control until the owner could bring a truck with a trailer. FAKE $10 BILL The Holly Police Department was notified of a possible counterfeit $10 bill on Sept. 15. An officer was sent to the village offices to investigate the complaint. A Holly Village employee turned over the suspected fake bill to the officer, so that it could be inspected further. The officer was unable to see the required watermark. The owner of the bill did not know where they acquired it; however, they believed they received change in the Fenton area. The officer confiscated the bill for evidence. ATTEMPTED BREAK-IN On Sept. 14, a Holly police officer was sent to a business in the 100 block of Battle Alley to investigate an attempted burglary. The responding officer spoke with a sales clerk who said that when she arrived at the business to open it up, she discovered that someone had attempted to break into the business through the lower level main entrance door. The officer noticed several old pry marks and one fresh pry mark on the door. The door handle was also broken. The suspect(s) did not gain entry into the business.

When tests are out, all electronic devices must be put away. Students are not the only ones who violate the school’s policy on cell phone use. Reynolds said oftentimes it’s the parents, who send a text message to their child, and help the student break the rule.

A Lengthy weeklong hearing began Monday and lawyers for OSHA said in court that they believe the 6-ton killer whale, Tilikum, grabbed Brancheau by the arm. According to the Orlando Sentinel, OSHA’s conclusion was based in part on the testimony of a SeaWorld Orlando security officer. Park officials have said that the whale grabbed her ponytail as it drifted into his mouth, while OSHA lawyers contend that the whale’s actions were a more serious and dangerous matter. OSHA argued that SeaWorld Orlando’s animal trainers couldn’t work safely while in close contact with the world’s largest ocean predator. Lawyers also challenged the accuracy of an internal log that SeaWorld kept, which was supposed to document and analyze every aggression incident over the last 23 years. Lawyers argued that not all acts of aggression were recorded. SeaWorld Orlando attorneys argued that Brancheau’s death was an isolated tragedy. Video footage has shown that the whale repeatedly struck and thrashed Brancheau and pulled her under water now available — 18 HOLES WITH CART — WEEKDAYS 25 until 4:00pm 20 after 4:00pm WEEKENDS 35 until 2:00pm 22 after 2:00pm $ $ $ $ Hartland Glen Golf Course Practice Facility • Club House • Casual Atmosphere 248-887-3777 12400 Highland Road (M-59) • Hartland www.hartlandglen.com (2 miles east of M-59 & US-23) as she attempted to escape. An autopsy revealed she died from drowning and traumatic injuries. OSHA cited SeaWorld for three safety violations, including one classified as “willful,” a $75,000 fine in August 2010. “SeaWorld recognized the inherent risk of allowing trainers to interact with potentially dangerous animals,” said Cindy Coe, OSHA’s regional administrator in Atlanta, Ga. “Nonetheless, it required its employees to work within the pool walls, on ledges and on shelves where they were subject to dangerous behavior by the animals.” The whale that attacked Brancheau was also involved in the death of an animal trainer in 1991, at a park in Canada. SeaWorld had forbidden trainers from swimming with this whale because of its dangerous past, but allowed them to interact, by touching him while they were lying on the pool edge in shallow water, according to OSHA investigation. The OSHA investigation also revealed that SeaWorld trainers had an extensive history of unexpected and potentially dangerous incidents involving killer whales at its various facilities, including its location in Orlando. Despite this record, management failed to make meaningful changes to improve the safety of the work environment for its employees. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES Shopping for HOME EQUITY LOANS?

A history of Bowling According the International History and Bowling Hall of Fame, bowling may have started in Germany as early as 300 A.D. Some form of bowling was very popular in England in the 13th century, and variations were being played across Europe. Bowling came to America with British, German and Dutch immigrants, and endured a rocky relationship with the cities in which the game was played. In 1841, a law in Connecticut made it illegal to maintain bowling lanes, because of the gambling involved at the time. In 1895, pin sizes were standardized, and league competition was formed. Today, bowling is played by 95 million worldwide in more than 90 countries. pins, also keeps him busy. The pins themselves are coated plastic, with a maple wood core. After a month of use, Berg lets a set “rest” back in dated boxes behind the return machines. This allows the pins to re-expand to their correct shape after being beaten on by the bowling balls. Sometimes, he has to send them back to be resurfaced. While Jim keeps the machines humming along, Jennifer works to provide hospitality to her guests, for 12 hours at a time. She points to the majority of her customers, identifying them by name. “We work hard in the winter,” she said. The business just opened for the season at the end of August, and they close down during the summer. Jennifer stocks the bar with Michigan beer and wine, even trying to buy local grease to cook with. Their business dropped at least slightly with the smoking ban, but Jennifer decided to see the positive side. “On the upside, more families are coming,” she said, which includes more kids’ birthday parties. To Jennifer and her family, a bowling alley ends up being a microcosm of the tri-county area, almost like a community center. The core of a bowling ball is cork, foam, plastic or ceramic. The core of a bowling alley, at least in this area, is made of family, friends, and good times.

The church hired an attorney to look into the matter and to contact the suspect, a 58-year-old Flint woman, and former member of the church. The suspect managed the gift card orders submitted by church members and accepted their payments. She is suspected of ordering numerous gift cards for her personal use and not paying for them.

Focus on Vision By: Dr. Juan Alvarado Eyes on Learning Going back to school ramps up the visual demands on your child drastically. There are many visual tools kids need in order to learn effectively. Multiple visual systems/tools are used in school that can break down and many are not obvious to the parent or teachers. The easy one to spot is poor visual acuity (if the kid can’t see the chalk board, dingding-ding…there’s a problem). Other equally or more devastating visual problems that decrease a child’s learning potential are visual fatigue and poor eye teaming/visual coordination to name a couple. Both drastically decrease reading (books, computer, chalkboard) and comprehension at all ages. Insidious medical problems often are present as well that are hard to detect such as mild lazy eye or a small eye turn that only occurs during reading. The latter by the way is extremely hard to detect without an eye doctor specifically looking for it. With most of these conditions the child is 100% unaware these problems are occurring. Often I have seen kids that appear to have ADD or Dyslexia who simply need eye exercises or therapeutic lenses which improve concentration and visual organization. Standard eye exams and screenings are not enough to effectively isolate vision learning problems and that’s why we always perform many extra tests and employ very high tech equipment with each and every eye exam we perform.

It wasn’t until he reached age 70 that he decided to pick up a paintbrush. “When I first started, I would pack up my stuff in the middle of class and go home,” he said remembering his frustrating first lessons at a retirement home in Owosso. “All the girls in class would tease me and ask if I was going home to mother. I did that twice and never walked out again.” His persistence has paid off as murals of farms and country life now populate his home. A dominate piece TRI-COUNTY TIMES | TIM JAGIELO Floyd Tymrak, 89, of Linden, paints in his small makeshift studio in his garage at Shiawassee Shores retirement community on Tuesday. He didn’t pick up a paintbrush until he was 70 years old. Advice for the beginning artist • Always keep learning — study your past works and see how your art has changed. Study works from other artists and look for what makes them great. Take a foray into a subject you know nothing about, to stretch your creativity. • Start projects right away — procrastination is the enemy of creativity. Start early and you’ll finish often. • Rejection comes to everyone — ignore other people’s negativity, or at least take it with a grain of salt. Only those who push past rejection ever have the chance at being successful. • Uniqueness equals success — it’s true that copying what’s popular in art may bring short term success, while doing things your own way may take longer. ‘‘ I paint because I love it. ’’ Floyd Tymrak Local artist See ARTIST on 5B DON’T SELL YOUR GOLD UNTIL YOU’VE STOPPED AT SAWYER JEWELERS RECEIVE THE HIGHEST VALUE WITHOUT THE GAMES!

Christopher Iacobelli, M.D. TRI-COUNTY LIVING www.tctimes.com Featured columnist By Roger Campbell When losing is winning ‘Do you recognize me?’ a woman asked following a service at her church. ‘I know I should,’ I replied, trying to remember her name. ‘I’ve lost 90 pounds since you were here last,” she announced proudly. No wonder I hadn’t remembered her. What made her success in slimming possible? Self-control she had gained through prayer. In trusting God for strength, she had found the discipline she needed to achieve her weight loss goal and knowing I had written on the subject was eager to tell me of her desired accomplishment. Not everyone appreciates my long effort to help those struggling with this very personal problem. ‘A minister writing about losing weight?’ one questioned. Some do more than question. While being interviewed on a call-in radio talk show, I was scolded soundly by a listener who called to complain about my Biblical approach to weight loss. She accused me of using valuable time and effort to teach concepts on a subject in which God has no interest. At one time, I would have agreed with this angry caller. Now, I know I was wrong. God is interested in helping us overcome every problem we face. Since He ARTIST Continued from Page 1B of artwork includes a man holding the reins of wild horses pulling a carriage, a painting that covers the door to his workstation. “I paint because I love it. It gives me something to do. At 90, there’s not much else I can do,” Tymrak said. Tymrak believes that anyone can be an artist, as long as he or she has the drive and a great instructor. Professional artist and Fenton resident Sally Bright is a participant of the Grand Rapids ArtPrize this year. ArtPrize is an international art competition with nearly half million dollars in prize money. First place wins $250,000. The general public will determine the 10 prizewinners through voting. Bright said that artists get better by “doing art, studying art, and then doing art some more.” “You have to do art every single day. Look at what you’ve done and look at what you can improve on,” she said. Over time, an artist will only get better and better. Bright’s art goes beyond canvasses. $ cares about flowers, clothing them with beauty (Matthew 6:28-30), we can be sure He cares about our health, our appearance and all of our other needs. If we mean more to our Heavenly Father than fowl or flowers, He must be interested in all the problems that eat away at us, taking away the joy of living. A friend of mine had such a severe weight problem that at age 19, he was confined to bed. He weighed 750 pounds and spasmodic weight loss efforts were but temporary fixes. In the early hours of one morning, he stared at the ceiling and said, ‘Lord, I’m impossible. Make me possible!’ The next morning my friend found strength enough to walk across his room and shortly after that was able to walk across the yard. He then committed himself to discipline in eating and exercise, which, over time, enabled him to lose 600 pounds. Richard Ely, a busy pastor, wrote to me saying he had found success in losing weight through walking. He said he had to admit that his weight problem had been spiritual and by the time his letter arrived, his faith commitment had enabled him to lose 50 pounds. Describing his new way of life, he said, ‘I’ve discovered the time walking is a precious time when I can talk and listen to the Lord and enjoy the beauty of His creation.’ On the wall of my study are the words ‘God can move your mountain.’ Name your mountain and God can move it! He moves hills and bumps in the road, too. Roger Campbell is an author, a broadcaster and columnist who was a pastor for 22 years. He can be reached at rcministry@ameritech.net. Instead, she bends rattan and pieces of palm trees into fiber sculptures. She communicates abstract ideas and concepts through colors and different shapes that she sculpts. Many of her pieces have the illusion of motion, accentuated by curves and indents. Whether by utilizing a brush or weaving materials into a sculpture, residents in the tri-county area are exploring their artistic skills. And, as Tymrak proves, it doesn’t matter if you are 9 or 90 years old. “The first thing you have to do is find a qualified teacher,” advises Tymrak. “Find an instructor that will teach you all the techniques.” For tri-county area residents looking to discover some of their artistic skill, the Fenton Community & Cultural Center and Loose Senior Citizen Center in Linden offer programs for beginning artists. The Fenton Artist Guild meets every Wednesday from 9:30 to 11:20 a.m. A volunteer painting instructor is present at the senior center every Monday starting at 10 a.m. For more information, call the community center at (810) 629-2512 and the senior center at (810) 735-9406. 18,000,000 That’s how much money would be pumped into the local economy if every area family spent just $50 more per year shopping locally!

The average American wastes 8 gallons of water while brushing their teeth with the water running. Unplug the charger. Appliances use electricity even if they’re still plugged in — up to 40 percent of their full running power, in a year that can add up to 190 pounds in greenhouse gases and about $70 extra on your electricity bill. You can use one power strip to plug in things that can be turned off, like phone chargers, that way, you can turn them all off at once. Angela Palmer - age 41, died September 18, 2011.

Schmedlen CPP, CFE, CII, MIPI - passed away peacefully on September 21, 2011. Born 2-131942 in Detroit, he is the son of Henry Ehrle Schmedlen and Ruth Audrey Walker. Roger was a security consultant and international investigator with over 35 years private sector field experience. He has conducted security surveys for many Michigan business and public entities, as well as those in Mexico, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia. He developed many executive protection programs and handled several high profile crisis events. His investigative role included warranty fraud, international gray market fraud, Internet fraud, product adulteration response, intellectual property crimes, and electronic countermeasure. He was extensively published and acted as an expert witness in security issues for private and public entities. His kindness is treasured by his adoring wife of 36 years, Nancy. He also leaves behind his two beautiful daughters, Laura (Michael) Kennedy and Kimberly Foster. The other loves of his life include his granddaughters, Meghan and Madison Binion, and Violet Kennedy. He is the dear brother of Dan (Jeanne), Michael (Judy), George (Valerie) and Lynda (Tom) Terrill. Roger’s devoted cat companions and wildlife friends will greatly miss his tender care.

My dog had this problem, too, and I was helped by the Tibetan Terrier Club of Canada with a very simple solution -- run a humidifier for at least eight hours per day in the room where “Cara” sleeps. I did this with my scratchy fellow, and the problem was solved within a few days! Neither my vet nor groomer had ever heard of such a thing. I also switched to Science Diet Sensitive Skin kibbles. No more scratching at my house. Hope you can pass this on to Cara’s owner. -- Pattie R., via e-mail DEAR PATTIE: Thanks for the helpful advice! A change in diet and the humidifier may have a positive effect on Cara’s allergies. Pets can be very sensitive to seemingly benign dog or cat foods, and it’s often a trial-and-error process to find a diet that such pets can tolerate. Be sure to include your pet’s veterinarian in the process so that he or she knows what your pet is eating and is able to offer advice and expertise that could help. The Tibetan Terrier Club of Canada can be found online at www.tibetanterriercanada.com. The site has general information about the Tibetan Terrier breed and basic care guidelines, as well as links to other Tibetan Terrier clubs around the world.

Sunday, September 25, 2011 7B Friend chooses new running buddy DEAR AMY: I have had a close friend for the last few years and we have done a lot of things together. In fact, I have spent more time with this particular friend than with Amy Dickinson anyone else. In addition to our friendship, we were running and workout partners. Several months ago he met a girl. I am happy for him. The problem is that she is very controlling and manipulative. In the past month my friend has quit running with me. He says he needs a break and he seldom works out with me now. He says that we are still friends and always will be. The problem is that I feel slighted. I feel like this friend is distancing himself from me. To make matters more difficult, I am his supervisor. I feel like ending the friendship and severing all ties with him -- including our working relationship -- because there is no way for us to avoid each other at work because we work directly with each other. This has taken a toll on me. Any advice? — Troubled Friend SundayJumble Ask Amy DEAR TROUBLED: Your friend seems to have a weakness for manipulative and controlling people, because you are quite obviously attempting to manipulate and control him. You cannot change your friend and you cannot make him break up with his girlfriend, regardless of her suitability. Instead, you need to examine your own behavior and make an effort to change your perspective. You are not being fair, and if you fire or demote your friend because of this, he will have legal recourse against you and your company. I suggest you seek psychological help to work through what seems to be a very unhealthy, toxic and obsessive cycle. In the meantime, back off and give this person -- and this relationship -- plenty of space. DEAR AMY: I am a junior in high school. I am a good student, a member of many clubs and organizations, and play a varsity sport. My family is very close-knit. I have never given my parents any reason not to trust me. I don’t drink or party, I never use profanity, and -- as a chronic perfectionist -- I always try to please them. Recently, I got a Facebook page. My parents check it once a day, though they don’t have Facebook themselves (other relatives are on Facebook). My family seems to think that they should have jurisdiction over what I post. For example, if I post “rough day today,” they tell me that I’m moping and to get over myself. If I post that I received an award, they’ll tell me I sound arrogant. I had to take down pictures from my homecoming dance because both my aunt and my grandmother called my mother to say I looked like a prostitute because I wore makeup. The dress I wore covered my shoulders and went past my knees. I feel as if they control me so much that I can’t create my own identity. I know they’re looking out for me, but it hurts when your mother tells you family members think you look like a prostitute. I love them very much, but I wish my parents would let me live my own life. Do I just sound like a whining teenager? — Stressed Teen ANSWER KEY LOCATED IN THIS EDITION PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. To your good health DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What is the difference between anxiety and panic attack? I am claustrophobic, and I need to fly from the West Coast to the East Coast and back. I can’t do so because of my problem. I have tried therapy several times, but it did not help. I do not want to go that route again. Can you give me some suggestions on how to be able to fly with this problem? Is there a medicine I could take before I get on the plane? -- Anon. ANSWER: Anxiety is excessive worry. In some cases, worry is appropriate. But with pathological anxiety, the worry is about things that don’t merit worry or about imagined things that truly merit no concern. Under “anxiety disorders” are many different conditions, each with a slightly different set of symptoms. They all share some things in common. Panic attacks are the sudden onset of terror in places where such terror is inappropriate. The attack builds to a high point in a matter of 10 minutes or less. The attack can take place in a perfectly neutral situation, like shopping in the grocery store. During an attack, the heart beats fast, people become short of breath, and they often sweat and fear they are at death’s door. Phobias are unreasonable fears of people, places and things that don’t engender fear in others. Claustrophobia is the fear of being in an enclosed space, like an airplane. Phobias can bring on a panic attack. Maybe your phobia is not so much a fear of enclosed space but a fear of flying. I’m not certain these distinctions are of importance to you. The important thing for you is to uproot whatever it is that paralyzes you when you must board an airplane or to blunt it so you can function. Mental health professionals can get you over anxiety, panic attacks and phobias. I’m not positive what you mean by “going that route” again. Do you mean a detailed probing into your childhood and such matters? That isn’t usually necessary. The doctor might prescribe a medicine that calms you and that you take only when needed. You won’t become dependent on that medicine every day of your life. You use it only for the situation that throws you into such high anxiety. News delivered to you daily DEAR TEEN: The good news is that I understand the classic teen rebellion musical “Footloose” is being re-released this month. The bad news is that your family seems to have provided the plot. From my perspective, your folks are lucky you haven’t pushed back in the knee-jerk and (sometimes foolish) way that teens do when they feel smothered. Your parents are being very disrespectful. However, Facebook is public (to a degree). If your folks didn’t look over your shoulder at your postings, other family members would report you to them. Keep a private diary (offline and for your own expressions), and if someone in your family insults you, respond to them by saying, “Wow. That hurt my feelings. I deserve better.” (Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

The fans did not get a chance to be really vocal, as they didn’t have much to cheer about. Fenton swept the Bronchos in three sets 25-7, 25-13 , 25-21 in a Metro League match. Fenton, who is still looking to get its offensive identity, dominated the net play. “We struggled hitting a lot Saturday (at the Rockford Tournament going 0-4 against tough competition). Tonight, the kills were pretty efficient,” Fenton coach Linda Rusaw said. “Potentially, we are strong with hitting. We just have not hit the ball well.” “Really, in our front row, we can go to anyone to put it away with kills,” said sophomore Ashley Bearden. “We were a little scared coming in with the graduation of three key players, but the current seniors have really stepped it up for us.” Behind Bearden’s serving, Fenton scored eight points in a row to take a 12-3 lead in the opening game. SPORTS TRIVIA Q A Who was the first woman to play for a National Hockey League team? Fenton’s Payton Maxheimer Manon Rheaume played an exhibition game for the Tampa Bay LIghtning in 1992. She allowed two goals on nine shots. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2011 Maize Martin had three kills as the Tigers padded the lead to 20-5. Payton Maxheimer scored set point with a kill. In the second set, the Tigers pulled away. Bearden had a kill with authority and followed it with a service ace for a 20-11 lead. Julie Gilbert had three serves to end the match, as Martin and Maxheimer found the mark with kills. In the clincher, Fenton scored the first six points with Sami Cowger serving.

On Wednesday, that epidemic reached both teams once again as the two teams battling for the top spot in the Metro fought to a 0-0 tie. The draw doesn’t hurt Fenton nearly as badly as Holly. The Tigers (2-0-1) still can win out this season and win the Metro League title. Meanwhile, the Bronchos (10-2 in the Metro) now probably need to win out and still need some help to defend their championship. “Worse things could’ve happened,” said Fenton keeper Derek Jenkins, who posted his seventh shutout of the season during the contest. “We weren’t happy. We wanted to win. They’ve been our rivals for years, but we just have to keep working hard. The Metro League is still possible. It’s in our own hands, so there’s no worries. We just have to win out.” The Bronchos probably had the best chances to break the tie, but never were able to do it. In the first half, Holly missed a penalty kick that was shot off frame. In the second half, the Bronchos enjoyed an TRI-COUNTY TIMES DAVID TROPPENS Holly’s Matt LaVallee won his No. 4 singles match against Lapeer West on Tuesday. Happy Birthday 8-3 shot edge. For the contest, Jenkins made 10 saves, while Holly keeper Ryan St. John posted his fourth shutout of the season with four saves. The Bronchos have allowed just three goals all season long, but their lack of offense has them with just one win in three Metro contests. “If you don’t put the ball in the net, you can’t win,” Holly coach Mike Steibel said. “That’s just the way it is. I thought as a match up, we were better than Fenton, but you have to finish in the offensive third. They had some chances ... but we didn’t finish. We have days we can and days we can’t. At least we have days that we can sometimes.” It’s not like the Tigers have scored a ton of goals in Metro contests lately themselves. They defeated Linden on Sept. 14 when Fenton scored with just 11.6 seconds left. If not for that goal, Fenton would be in the same predicament as Holly. In the second half, both teams had chances to break the scoreless draw, but Holly had the best of it. Fenton’s best chance probably came with about 15 minutes left when Jake Kinsman sent a ball to Chase Marcola. Marcola drove the field for about a 25-yard shot, but missed the net.

Holly tied atop Metro with Brandon Bronchos need to win league meet to assure 19th straight title By David Troppens dtroppens@tctimes.com; 810-433-6789 Holly co-varsity boys tennis coach Will Sophiea won’t lie. He knows that Brandon has a very good team. After all, for the second straight season, the Blackhawks finished a dual meet with Holly with a 4-4 tie earlier this year. “There is no doubt as long as I’ve been around as a player or a coach, this is the best team Brandon has ever had,” Sophiea said. “We are definitely aware how strong they are.” However, don’t be expecting the Holly Bronchos to be waving any white flags during Tuesday’s Metro League Meet. When you are the winners of 18 straight league titles, why would one do so? And that’s what is at stake Tuesday at Holly High School. Due to that dual meet draw, chances are, Holly or Brandon will win the event at Bill McDaniel Tennis Complex. Whoever does, will be the outright Metro League champions. And the Bronchos like their chances. “I think there is no doubt our kids are battle tested, will fight and not give in,” Sophiea said. “Even though we have young athletes, they are battlers and good athletes. They will not give away anything easy and will fight their hearts out.” The Bronchos completed their 6-0-1 dual season by defeating Lapeer West 8-0 on Tuesday. All eight matches were straight set wins, with two being 6-0, 6-0 victories. Those were earned by Sam Caldwell (No. 2 singles) and Matt LaVallee (No. 4 singles). None of the other matches were all that close, either. Connor Bilkos (No. 3 singles) won 6-0, 6-4, while Jeff Sophiea (No. 1 singles) won by injury default. In doubles action, Holly winners were Parker Cuthbert and Dillon Sink (No. 1), Taylor Mills and Will Moller (No. 2), Aaron Vergith and Parker Rowse (No. 3) and Connor Knudson and Morgan Baylis (No. 4).

He had other several big-name Division I football schools interested in his services on the football field. He made a trip to Alabama. But when it came down to it, Allen knew what he wanted to be all along. So when it came down to choosing a school to continue his punting/placekicking career, it probably was never really a question where he was going. And recently, he verbally committed to sign with the University of Michigan football program as a preferred walk-on. “My whole life, me and my brother would play football outside and pretend we were a team,” Allen said. “Every time we’d pick Michigan.” Allen has been on the radar as one of the nation’s best punters and placekickers for awhile now. He credits that to Chris Sailer. Sailer holds a kicking camp, and while attending it, Allen’s stock rose. “I went to Chris Sailer’s camp and after that camp, I was ranked the No. 2 in the country,” Allen said. Currently, Sailer had Allen ranked No. 10 in the nation, as a four-and-a-half-star prospect out of five stars. Allen has always been around kicking in one way or another. Soccer has always been big in the Allen household as well. Eventually, that resulted in Kenny’s older brother, Jimmy, playing youth football and kicking for those teams. Still, Allen was thinking about playing soccer entering his freshman year and not much about football, until he was asked to give it a try. Since then, Allen has only worked on establishing his name out there. Last year he averaged 39 yards a punt, and rarely had the punts returned for any additional yardage. This season, Allen had his biggest highlight of his prep football career when he kicked the game-winning 45yard field goal against the Linden Eagles during the second week of the season, ending a 10-year losing streak the Tigers had against Linden. For the season he has made three of his four field goal attempts, and all of his 11 extra-point attempts. It’s still not known exactly what role Allen will take with the team, but he senses it may include punting and kickoffs. He’s not sure what his major will be yet, but he is thinking about sports management and business management. Michigan’s kicking game was among the worst in the nation a year ago, making just 4-of-13 field goals. The Wolverines have made their only field goal they’ve tried this year — a 21-yard field goal. Punter Matt Wile is averaging 38 yards a kick this season, with a long of 47 yards. Allen is averaging 37.7 yards a punt this season and has kicked about 40 percent of his kickoffs into the end zone this season. “I think I need to get better strength,” Allen said. “But working with Michigan’s strength and conditioning coaches, that won’t be a problem.” +dep. WINE Douglass Hill ................ 2/$10 YOUR SMILE MATTERS! By: Dr. Steven Sulfaro PREMEDICATION In 2007 the American Heart Association in conjunction with the American Dental Association came out with new guidelines for antibiotic premedication for bacterial endocarditis. Endocarditis is a serious and life-threatening bacterial infection of the lining of the heart and heart valves. The disease is fairly rare and usually only affects those people with an already underlying heart condition and/or defect. The same bacteria that attack the heart in endocarditis also commonly live in the mouth where they are a harmless part of dental plaque. In theory, it is thought that these bacteria in the mouth would migrate into the blood stream and ultimately to the heart during a visit to the dentist. Before 1997 anybody who had a simple heart murmer, or a history of rheumatic fever needed to be on antibiotics before going to the dentist. This meant that between 10-20% of our patients were having to take antibiotics as a precaution against bacterial endocarditis every time they had a dental appointment. Now, with the new recommendations, only patients with serious heart conditions and defects need to take antibiotics before their dental appointment. Less that 2% of our patients now need to be premedicated against bacterial endocarditis; and not for every dental appointment as before. Antibiotic premedication is recommended only if major dental work is needed. This is great news for a lot of people who used to have to take a lot of mediation as a precaution. Fish Eye ......................... 2/$8 APPLIANCE Q. A. EXPERT Why do I have a white film on my dishes at end of my dry cycle? During 2010, dishwasher manufactures were required to remove phosphates from dishwasher detergent. This followed an eariler requirement for laundry detergents. Phospates help carry away lime from hard water, improving cleaning performance, and preventing white lime film from depositing on dishes, glassware and dishwasher tank. They were removed because they permote alge groth in lakes and rivers, depleting oxygen levels for fish and marine life. Removing phosphates forced detergerant makers to use different formulas with less than ideal cleaning results. It affected all dishwasher manufactures equally since dishwashers basically spray hot water and rely on detergents to break down and clean food away from dishes. 810-629-3035 I welcome your questions and comments.

You can’t give up three goals on set plays. We moved the ball better, had good intensity and we are so close.” Goodrich, who stayed unbeaten in the league in five outings, cashed in on its opportunities. The Martians, who spread the scoring around to four different players, also had a stellar effort from keeper David Doherty. Goodrich drew first blood on a Seth Sheldon goal. Lake Fenton answered back to deadlock it at 1-all when senior captain Brad Oldenburg scored off a shot with his left foot and a block. Midway through the first half, the Martians took the lead to stay at 2-1 as Ian Gannon found his mark on a free kick. Lake Fenton sophomore Jacob Morrison played tough in goal, making two key saves in the first half, allowing Lake Fenton to be as close as 2-1 at the half. Wyatt Wilson replaced him as goalie in the second half. “You get a lot of action in net playing a good team like Goodrich,” said Morrison. “We look to (playing Goodrich) every year and try and play our best. They have some good forwards and good passing. “We are just looking forward to winning some more games and getting higher in the GAC standings.” With just under three minutes elapsed in the second half, Danny Garner had a goal and Thomas Flotemersch tacked on another for a 4-1 lead. One of them was from 40 feet out and took some wind out of the Blue Devils. Wilson made a nice stop to keep the lead from growing, but Lake Fenton could not reach the goal. In the latter stages of the game, Rance Hennessey had a shot deflected out front and sophomore Zach Oldenburg was in close range, but his shot just was stopped by the Martians’ keeper. “Zach almost scored,” Glasstetter said. “I told him just put a little more spicy mustard on the shot. He was excited. We got all 19 players in the game.” Goodrich has scored eight or more goals four times this season. The Blue Devils did a good job of keeping the scoring machine in check, except for the set plays and the fluke long shot. “He (Morrison) played very good. A couple set plays should have not gone in. He stayed mentally focused,” said Glasstetter. TRI-COUNTY TIMES | DAVID TROPPENS Lake Fenton’s Alex Holtslander (right) dribbles with the ball during a recent Blue Devils’ contest.

Andrews shot and Jenkins made the second-half’s best save. “What made me a little nervous was I couldn’t really see it,” Jenkins said. “The sun is in a funny spot on this field. It’s usually on one side, behind the net or behind the other net. It was behind the corner flag on that one, so it was kind of tough to see it.” The final shot that was saved was a routine shot by Holly’s Sam Caldwell with about 79-81-160. She also was the Women’s Senior Club Champion, carding a 75 in that competition. In the Men’s Open competition, Lou Iordanou won the title for a second straight year, carding a 54-hole score of 73-78-71222. Another past champion, Nick Harley, finished second, three strokes behind Iordanou. 1:20 left in the contest. The defenses played well. For Holly, defenders Joe Budds, Blake Cuthbert, Austin Newcomb and Colin Banes helped keep things clean for keeper Ryan St. John. For Fenton defenders like Logan Bowlby, Brad Gornick, Andrew Huntley and Alex Chase played well. “They have some really good offensive players, and some speed up there, so to keep Holly without a goal is great,” Fenton coach Matt Sullivan said. “Our defense has been outstanding.

VOLLEYBALL Continued from Page 12B battled back and cut the lead from 10 points to three as Hannah Timm scored some points with her jump serve and three kills. The Bronchos cut the lead to 24-21 before a missed serve won Fenton the match. “We had some spurts. We had a lot of touches, but need to put some straight down for points,” Holly coach Jamie Jones said. “We are young and I’m waiting for them to come out of their shell. We need to have more fun. We need somebody to take charge, get crazy and get the team riled up.” Fenton was led by Gilbert with 22 assists. Bearden had three aces. Cowger was 13-for-14 passing and had seven digs. Maxheimer had 10 digs. Martin led with six kills and Sarah Collier added four. Holly’s Ashley Wohlfeil had 32 serve receives and 18 digs. Timm had 20 serve receives and eight kills.
