Fenton will receive $1.4 million to replace bridge
uCity to pay 5 percent of
construction costs to build new
bridge over Shiawassee River
By Ryan Tackabury
news@tctimes.com; 810-629-8282
The Silver Lake Road bridge over the Shiawassee River is in disrepair and needs to be
replaced. Doing so is very expensive however.
Fortunately, the city will not have to pick up the
bill on its own and will be able to build a new bridge
with minimal costs. The Michigan Department of

Around 11 a.m. on Thursday,
May 30, the Genesee County
Sheriff’s Department responded
to Lake Fenton Middle School
after receiving a call of possible
gunshots fired. Det. Sgt. Bill
Lanning said a teacher was outside and heard what sounded
like gunshots. Several cars responded to the area around the
middle school/administration
offices to locate the origin of the
sound. A resident on Main Road
reported hearing similar noises
for the past several days. Lanning said there was no evidence
of gunshots, however, someone
might have set off fireworks.

FINANCIAL
ADVISOR
Wow, the stock market is at
an all-time high. I feel like I
should be doing something
with my investments. Should I sell
what I have or buy more?
Q.
In May, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 15,000 for the
first time. What does Dow 15,000
mean to you, as an individual investor? If you
own stocks, it’s obviously good news that
prices have risen so dramatically. Nonetheless, sooner or later, the markets will change
course. What should you do? First, don’t
panic when the market drops — corrections of 10 percent or more are a normal
part of the market cycle. Also, keep investing. If you head to the investment sidelines,
you could miss out on opportunities when
the market recovers. Review your portfolio
to make sure it still fits your needs and risk
tolerance. Keep looking for ways to diversify.
Diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, but it can help reduce the
impact of the volatility that occurs when the
market is changing directions. The Dow at
15,000 is a notable event. But today’s highs
can be quickly forgotten when the market
falls — so be prepared for that day.

that hit earlier this week.
Residents met with Supervisor Bonnie

the need for extra hands. Uprooted trees,

Mathis said 50 houses within the township were affected by Tuesday’s tornado.
The National Weather Service has classified the tornado as EF2, where winds
are faster than 100 miles per hour. Most
of the damage was near Jennings Road.
Krug said that he will try to secure fire
trucks from the fire department this weekend so late comers can find the volunteers
throughout the township. Krug stressed
that volunteers need to be as safe as possible if they plan on helping residents this

Son accused of assault,
setting fire to father’s home
The Shiawassee County Sheriff’s
Office arrested a 28-year-old man from
Perry after responding to a domestic
disturbance call in the village of Byron
on Saturday.
According to Det. Lt. David Kirk,
of the Shiawassee County Sheriff’s
Office, deputies were dispatched to
assist on a domestic disturbance call
at 9:20 p.m. on Saturday, May 25 in
Byron. Upon arrival, witnesses reported that the suspect had assaulted
his father, resulting in minor injuries.
The suspect had fled the scene in
his vehicle during which time he had
rammed his father’s unoccupied vehicle causing significant damage to it.
While investigators were gathering witness statements, the suspect
returned to the scene of the assault in
Byron and was taken into custody.
Investigators soon learned that the
home of the assault victim, located in
the 2800 block of East Braden Road
in Antrim Township, had been set on
fire. Burns Township Fire Department, Perry Area Fire Department and
Shiawassee Township Fire Department combined efforts to extinguish
the fire. Despite their efforts, the home
was destroyed by fire.
The suspect is being held in the
Shiawassee County Jail without bond.
Charges are pending for arson of a
residence, felony malicious destruction of property and domestic assault.
The Byron, Morrice and Michigan
State Police departments, the Michigan State Police Fire Marshal’s Office and the American Red Cross
assisted the Shiawassee County
Sheriff’s Office.

the form of House Bill 4743 and it
would give local government leaders
greater control over fireworks regulation.
Local governments would be able
to adopt ordinances that prohibit the
use of consumer-grade fireworks between the hours of 12 and 8 a.m. on the
day before, the day of, or the day after
a national holiday for municipalities
with 50,000 residents or more.
Municipalities with a population of
less than 50,000 would be able to restrict fireworks usage from 1 to 8 a.m.
The new legislation has passed
the Michigan House, and will next
receive consideration from the state
Senate.
Fenton Police Chief Rick Aro said
he spoke with the city attorney, and
should the legislation pass, would act
to change the ordinance. “We plan to
amend our local ordinance to reflect
the new law and make our restrictions
a little tighter,” he said.

could see new legislation again this year
to address criticisms.
The law passed last year in Michigan made airborne fireworks available
for legal purchase in the state. Similar
fireworks were already available for
purchase in border states, though
selling them in Michigan allowed the
state to collect sales tax and application fees from fireworks vendors.
The law also limited the ability that
local municipalities had to regulate
when fireworks could be set off.
Currently, local governments cannot prohibit the use of fireworks the
day before, the day of, or the day after
a national holiday, which includes
New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King
Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

DISPATCH
Continued from Page 5A
about the actual savings contracting with
Oakland County could incur, because the
village would have to hire employees to
handle the administrative side work being
done by dispatchers currently.
“I just need to know how it’s going
to work,” said President Jason Hughes,
echoing Council Member Ryan Bladzik,
in needing more specific information on
how all needs at the police station would
be filled without the dispatchers.
The council asked Manager Jerry
Walker to provide an informational
outline of operational changes regarding
jail and administrative work, cost adjustments, proposed budget amendments,
and to also compare that to the cost of
upgrading and putting the current system
into compliance.
The new business items related to
changing dispatch were postponed indefinitely.

Bland said
that he remembers being underneath the
bridge and being able to see the sky when
he looked up.
“This is the third bridge in the city of
Fenton that we have received bridge funding for,” Bland said. “We’re probably
talking about $8-9 million of funding,
and we just have had to pick up the other
5 percent and engineering.”
Since funding for the bridge will not
come through until 2015 the current
bridge will have to hold up until then.
“We’re getting these bridges done very
cheaply,” Bland said. “We’ve still got
a couple of others to work on but it’s a
great project.”

MINING
the company never had a disposal at
that site. President Katie Leoni’s father
named the company such because he
was at the time, in the disposal business.
The kind of sand they produce is
used in commercial ventures — Leoni’s father mined gravel from the site
that went into constructing I-75 in the

1960s. The gravel is gone now, and the
sand goes to projects like the Gateway
Project which made the Ambassador
Bridge more accessible.
A few municipal projects kept the
company running while new construction slowed over the last few years.
Currently they are providing sand for
the Powers Catholic High School relocation to the former Michigan School
for the Deaf in Flint.
Hayes said that 800 tons shipped
out is a good year, at $2.25 a ton. He
added that $2.25 is what the industry
paid in 1985.
The company runs a very lean operation. Including Hayes, there are only four
that run the business. “We can’t afford
redundancy,” he said. Hayes enjoys the
dynamic that keeps them on their toes.
A simple scale house at the mouth of
the mine is run by one person, another
runs the processing machine and loader,
and Hayes manages the operation.
Leoni functions as business manager
and sales rep for the company. All the
employees are able to do other jobs on
the site. Leoni is also part owner along
tctimes.com

projects.
with seven other family members.
Though the ownership of the business has stayed with the family since
1963, the property was leased by another company until 2006, when the
family took back the mining operation.
A point of pride for the company is
the reclamation project they have ran
since then. Mines like theirs must
reclaim the land they’ve mined.
The steep walls etched by the
loader must be filled in with slopes
of material, and then grass seed is
planted. Each step is strictly regimented. Currently there are 10 acres
reclaimed, meaning vegetation is now
growing on the slope.
Permits cost around $12,000 annually for the contractors required for
aerial photography and others.
Though they essentially dig sand
out of a pit for a living, Hays and
Leoni are enthusiastic about their
business, and the future of the site.
In five years, the mine could be
finished, which opens the property
up for development. It’s likely the
mine could become commercial land.
“This (highway) exit is primed for
development in the next 10 years,”
said Hayes.
Leoni added that former mines
have become lakes, around which
spring million-dollar homes. “We can
take this and make something really
special out of it,” said Hayes.

Sneakers help hospitalized kids move forward
uLocal Girl Scouts partner with
Linden art students to create
custom shoes for sick children
By Olivia Dimmer
Fenton — When Carrie Keech was
first approached by Sandy Kosofsky and
her Junior Girl Scout Troop, she could
not believe all the generous hands that
were reaching out to aide her 2-year-old
daughter, Phoebe, who was diagnosed
with Pre-B ALL Leukemia in January.
“The girls were working on their Junior
Bronze award, which is aimed at helping
the community in some way,” Kosofsky
said. “The girls came up with it all on
their own.”
Kosofsky along with Junior Girl Scout
Troop 70122 had offered to buy toys and
other items for Phoebe. While flattered,
Keech knew that Phoebe wasn’t the only
child who needed support and love while
battling cancer.
Keech decided to use the Girl Scout’s
help to piggyback on a charity called
Peaches Neat Feet, which donates shoes
designed by artists to children struggling
with health issues. Keech then called upon
her sister-in-law, Linden High School art
teacher Gemma Keech, to provide student
artists willing to donate their talents to the
cause. Thus, this project began.
“In mid-April, the Girl Scout troop
did a pop can drive, called ‘Friends of

Phoebe.’ They raised close to $300,”
Carrie Keech said. “I shared with Sandy
where to buy the shoes and what sizes. She
ended up buying 12 pairs of shoes for the
children at CS Mott. There is also a pair
being specifically designed for Phoebe.”
White shoes were bought and delivered
to the Advanced Placement Art class at
LHS, which then designed them. Al-
though specific names and diseases could
not be given out due to privacy laws, each
student designed their pair with a small
child in mind.
“My students genuinely love that they
were given this opportunity to use their
expressive abilities in a way that will bring
joy to these children in their unfortunate
circumstance. They are so happy that they

are able to contribute to such a beautiful
cause,” said Gemma Keech.
“Our AP Art class is a small class
full of students that are very passionate
about art. They have created many unique
pieces that they have submitted to the AP
Board along with many other paintings,
drawings, digital pieces. The art teacher
said they are fortunate to have an administration that is excited about the students
and supportive of their involvement in
community projects.
Gemma Keech plans to continue this
project in future years with her AP Art
students and encourages the community
to show their support by getting involved
and making donations. She can be
reached at gkeech@lindenschools.org. In
the meantime, she is focusing her efforts
on fostering her student’s passion for art
and the cause.
Once the shoes are completed, the AP
Art students will be given a tour of the
hospital and will be able personally to
deliver their shoes to any children that are
currently staying at the hospital. A date
has yet to be set for this event.
“Our family truly appreciates their
support. Their personal commitment
and generosity will directly benefit
Phoebe, our family, and other children
battling this disease,” Carrie Keech said.
“They’ve truly done an incredible thing.
It’s inspiring. They are role models for
all children.”

High School on Thursday was
Mother Nature.
Both teams had to suffer
through rain delays. But it mattered little as it took just one
half of play for both teams to
earn a spot in Saturday’s district
title game slated for 11 a.m. at
Fenton High School. Linden
crushed Flint Northwestern 14-0
in just 40 minutes of play, while
the Fenton Tigers had seven different goal scorers in a 7-0 victory against the Clio Mustangs.
Linden coach Kevin Fiebernitz rested his top players most
of the contest against the Wildcats, but it hardly mattered as the
Eagles pounded the Northwestern net constantly. In a matter
of five minutes, the Eagles led
3-0, and it never really stopped
as Linden averaged a goal a little
bit less than one every three minutes.
Jordan Holscher led the Eagles with three goals, while Olivia Kirk, Amelia Simberg and
Gabrielle Freeman each provided two goals. Also scoring a goal
each were Madison Maxheimer,
Audrey Bakos, Emily Huffman
and Hanna Whitted.
“That’s what we wanted. We
wanted to play (Fenton) again,”
Fiebernitz said. “You want to get
another opportunity, but not only that,
but it’s for a district
championship. We
have to play our ‘A’
game. There have
been some games
we’ve looked absolutely brilliant and
there were some
other games I don’t
know the team that
showed up. We’ll
see.”
Fenton had a
tougher foe, facing Clio, but still
dominated the contest, earning a 24-0
shot edge during
the game. And has
been pretty typical of the season, the Tigers’ offense was
extremely well balanced. Seven
girls scored the Tigers’ seven
goals.
The first came within the
opening minutes on a Allison
Cialkowszewski cross to Brianna Costigan for a goal. The
onslaught never really stopped
the rest of the half as Fenton got
goals from Carly Granger, Baylee Adams, Natalee Marshall,

Eagles win seventh-inning
thriller vs. Corunna, 6-5
By David Troppens
Lake Fenton — Just keep swimming.
When things are going bad for the Linden
varsity softball team, the phrase that has become popular through “Finding Nemo” has
become the Eagles’ battle cry.
It worked on Tuesday in the team’s Division 2 pre-district game against the Corunna
Cavaliers.
Trailing 5-2 with one out in the bottom
of the seventh inning, the next seven Eagles
reached base safely, earning Linden a 6-5
victory at Lake Fenton High School, earning
the team a spot in Saturday’s district semifinal game against tourney hosts Lake Fenton
at approximately noon. The winner of that
game plays either Owosso or Ovid-Elsie in
the title game.
With the bases loaded and one out, junior
Alyssa Logie came up with the game-winning single to left field, plating the go-ahead
run in the 6-5 win.
“It feels great. I was just looking for a base
hit, trying to get on base,” Logie said. “Bases
were loaded and we had one out. I was going
to do whatever it took — a little pop to get it
in and get that winning run in.”
“That’s how they’ve been all year,” Linden coach Gordon Jamison said. “They really
haven’t been panicking. We’ve come back a
couple of times. They got this saying from
‘Little Nemo’ to just keep swimmming. So
when we get in a bind like this they say ‘Just
keep swimming’ and it’s kind of a good attitude for them — not to get panicked and to
keep plugging away.”
The game didn’t start well for Linden. The
Cavaliers scored three runs on three hits and
a walk in the second inning, taking a 3-0 lead.
Linden cut the gap to 3-1 in the top of the
third with an RBI-single by Savannah Weaver, plating Makayla Cavanaugh, who walked,
but Corunna responded with another run in
the top of the fourth on three consecutive hits.
Corunna’s lead grew to 5-1 in the top of the
sixth after a leadoff walk and consecutive singles, but Linden was able to plate a run in the
bottom of the sixth. Maija Satkowiak singled,
went to third on an error off of Tori Davis’
batted ball and scored on a wild pitch. Still,
Linden trailed 5-2 entering the seventh.
And with one out in the seventh, the situation looked bleak. However, Bri Senter
singled, and Cavanaugh reached base on
a passed ball after she struck out. Weaver
walked, loading the bases. Satkowiak hit into
a fielder’s choice that got nobody out and
drove in a run, cutting the gap to 5-3. Then
Molly Sherman and Tori Davis had consecutive singles, tying the game up at 5-all with
Logie up to bat. She made her at-bat a nodoubter, singling to left and giving Linden the
6-5 win.
“We were confident,” Logie said. “We
were a little nervous toward the sixth and seventh inning, but we got a rally going and they
couldn’t stop it. Once we got the bases loaded
with only one out, that was the point we knew
we could do this.”
Sherman was the winning pitcher, but
struggled. She allowed 15 hits and two walks,
while striking out six. However, the Eagles’
defense played well behind her, throwing out
two base runners from the outfield.
“I don’t know what to say,” Jamison said.
“They just kept playing, and kept plugging
away.”

Eagles’ offense soars in district
opener, defeat Cavaliers 12-2
By David Troppens
Lake Fenton — In what has been an
up and down season for the Linden varsity
baseball team, it seems the Eagles are going through an “up” at the right time of
the season.
Just 24 hours after winning the Greater Flint Tournament for the first time in
school history, the Eagles’ bats did some
more damage against Corunna in a Division 2 pre-district tournament game at
Lake Fenton High School, earning a 12-2
victory in six innings.
The Eagles didn’t waste any time. They
took advantage of five Corunna walks in
the opening inning, scoring six times in
the stanza and capturing a 6-0 lead. Mixed
in with those free passes was an RBI-single by Mitch Juhl and Trent Marks and a
two-run single by Jake Dunleavy.
“I think we hit the ball well,” Juhl said.
“We waited for our pitch and when we got
it we drove it. We didn’t swing at anything
bad, and that helped us get on the basepaths. Once we were on them, when we
got our pitch, we swung them in.”
Linden added another two runs in the second inning, increasing the lead to 8-0. By
then, the only question that seemed to remain was if the Eagles would win the game
via the five-inning mercy rule or not. Eventually the Eagles did win by the mercy rule,
but it took six innings to do so. Leading 11-2
entering the bottom of the sixth, Marshael
Ryan and Jake Klosek each reached base on
an error and Austin Buerkel concluded the
game with an RBI-single to center.
Others providing RBIs were Brady Sar-

district crown
By David Troppens
Denny Lucius thought it was his
team’s time to finally win a district title.
The Lake Fenton varsity boys golf
coach ended up being right.
Lake Fenton captured the Division 3
district held at Hollow Meadows in Capac Wednesday afternoon.
“It’s been a long time since we won
(a district or regional championship),”
Lucius said. “Every year you go and
wonder when it is your team, when it’s
your turn to win one. This year it was our
turn.”
The Blue Devils dominated the district. Lake Fenton won with a team score
of 303, while Lutheran North finished
second, six strokes back with a 309. The
top six teams and the top six individuals who are not on a team that qualifies,
earn bids to the regional tournament held
Thursday at Flint Elks Golf Course.
Lake Fenton’s Merrick George placed
second overall, recording a one-underpar 71 for his 18-hole event. Lutheran
North’s Davis Harm won with a 70.
“He was a little disappointed he
wasn’t the medalist,” Lucius said. “He
had a shot out of bounds, so that cost him
two strokes.”
After George, Blake Bonicki carded
a fourth-place score of 74, while Wes
Potts and Jon Growney each had 79s.

Three tri-county teams win district openers
By David Troppens
Fenton — The tri-county’s two conference championship girls soccer teams
began their runs in district tourneys the
way they won their games during the regular season.
In Lake Fenton’s situation, they rode
the state’s most potent goal scorer, Jordan Newman. She scored five goals in the
Blue Devils’ 8-0 Division 3 victory against
Chesaning High School on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Fenton Tigers used
their offensive depth, earning six goal
scorers in a 6-0 victory against Owosso
High School on Tuesday. Linden earned
its first-game victory in district action on
Wednesday, defeating Swartz Creek 3-1.
Holly wasn’t as fortunate, seeing its
district run end in the first round, losing
a 7-0 verdict to Lapeer West at the Lapeer
West district.
Lake Fenton dominated Chesaning in a
game that was shortened due to the mercy
rule. After Newman’s five goals, Kaitlyn
Begley, Alyssa Krueger and Melissa Williams had one goal each. Denise Carlson,
Alexis Cash, Sidney Scott, Newman,
Krueger and Begley also had assists.
In net, Missy Eggleston had her 10th
shutout of the season, making two saves.
Fenton scored three first-half goals and
cruised against Owosso, earning the easy
6-0 victory. While there were six different
goal scorers, Allison Cialkoszewski had
an outstanding offensive night, collecting
three assists to go with her one goal. Also
scoring for Fenton were Payton Maxheimer, Madison Wegner, Carly Granger,
Mackenzie Murphy and Chloe Foor. Katie
Delavergne, Jennifer Surface and Brennan
Sullivan also had assists.

“It’s not just the girls being unselfish, which
they have been, but it’s also been the girls
making the effort to get in a position to score.
I think that’s the most important thing,” Fenton coach Matt Sullivan said about the team’s
offensive balance. “It’s not about passing and
sharing the ball, but it’s about being at the
right spot at the right time, and I think we’ve
done a good job at that.”
Fenton has two regulation-timed victories
And now, the Eagles hold a nice 20-11 record overall and are preparing for the district
semifinals with a 10 a.m. game against
Lake Fenton on Saturday. The winner of
that game will play in the district title contest
later that day, at approximately 2:30 p.m.
“It’s been a pretty crazy season — lots

beat Linden 1-0 early in the season on a lastminute goal. The Tigers also won a 3-0 contest during what was the league game.
“Beating a team three times is very hard,”
Sullivan said. “We know they are gunning
for us. They are hungry for us, want revenge
and we are really going to have to step out
our game on Saturday if we want to be successful.”
“We know the games are usually competitive. The last game wasn’t really competitive,”
Fiebernitz said. “The good thing is we didn’t
have our starters waste any energy today, and
a couple of girls who were banged up got a
chance to heal. We’ll see what we can do.”

Interested in playing a game of quidditch?
AYSO players going to get a taste of the Harry Potter game at tourney
By David Troppens
Krystina Packard has always
been a Harry Potter fan.
So when she got the chance
to play one of Harry’s favorite
games, a contest called quidditch
in the Harry Potter novels, she
jumped at the chance.
“I attended Michigan State,
I saw an informational meeting
about it, fell in love with the sport
and have gone on from there,”
said Packard, who works with
the Little Kritters soccer program
with the Midwest Soccer Academy (MSA).
And now the Fenton resident is
going to get a chance to present
her love for the sport during the
American Youth Soccer Organization’s (AYSO) Area 6 Tournament,
being hosted at Deer Run Park
June 7 through June 9. The game
is scheduled for noon on June 8.
The quidditch exhibition will involve players from the University
of Michigan, Michigan State University, Eastern Michigan University and the University of Toledo.
Packard, who recently competed
in the Quidditch World Cup, is excited to present the sport to not only
the AYSO students but to anyone
else who wants to watch the exhibition being hosted in between soccer games. The FC Bolton travel
soccer club will sponsor the game.
“Tony (Shard, president of
MSA) presented the idea to me.
He asked me if I could contact
any quidditch players so they
could watch the game, and help
the kids try it out, too,” Packard
said. “We want to let the kids experience it, too.”
Ask what quidditch is and it’s
likely 10 different people will
give you 10 different explanations. Packard said the game is
a combination of dodgeball, tag,
basketball and rugby.
Quidditch is played in a
large outdoor court in a sphere.
Brooms, balls and hoops are involved. Teams can score points
by throwing the balls through the
opposing team’s hoops, which are
suspended above the ground so a
ball can be tossed through them.
Teams try to collect the balls so
they can throw them through the
hoops for points. However, while
trying to do so, the opposing team
can hit the opposing players,
forcing them to go back to their
starting position. The players involved in this portion of the game
are called chasers, beaters and the
keeper. There are three chasers,
two beaters and one keeper on
each team.
However, they aren’t the only
ones on the field. Each team also
has a seeker. Their goal is to find
the last person on the field, called
the snitch. The snitch is a participant who is neutral to both teams.
Once a seeker catches the snitch,
their team collects 30 points and
the game ends. The team with the
higher point total wins the game.
Packard said games can last as
little as two minutes but can be
as long as 90 minutes. Most last
between 25 to 30 minutes.
“A lot of soccer players play
it,” Packard said. “I’m hoping the
kids find it exciting. It should be
lots of fun.”
“The quidditch promotional
match will gather the attention of
many Harry Potter fans across the
area,” regional commissioner and
president of Tri-County Soccer
Robert Levander said. “It is a great
privilege to be able to host them
at the AYSO Area G Tournament.
Almost everyone I have spoke to
wants to see this match. It should
bring additional traffic through the
complex and the area.”
While there will be the quidditch
exhibition for most of the month,
soccer will dominate the action
at Deer Run Park. Along with the
June 7 to 9 tournament consisting
of Tri-County Soccer’s teams and
AYSO teams from all around Genesee County, the organization will
be hosting the AYSO Section 8
Tournament for soccer teams from
Michigan and Indiana from June
21 to June 23.
The events should bring thousands of competitors for both
weekends to the tri-county area.
Blue Devils suffer one bad inning at
Greater Flint tourney championship game
By David Troppens
Brad LaRowe appreciates the history of
the Greater Flint Baseball Tournament.
And he was glad his Lake Fenton Blue
Devils were able to become a part of that
history by playing in the championship
game on Memorial Day.
However, the Blue Devils came one step
short of winning the title.
The Blue Devils (13-13) gave up six
runs in the top of the fifth, resulting in a
7-4 loss to Mt. Morris in the Division II
game at Flint’s Broome Park.
“One bad inning, of course,” LaRowe
said. “It seems we usually have one bad inning. We were up 2-1 going to the bottom
of the fifth, allowed six runs and couldn’t
recover.”
The Blue Devils took the early lead in

“We have one of the toughest regionals,”
Lucius said. “We barely got by Lutheran

Powers coming to our regional and they are
a very strong team, too. If we play like we

Both runners scored on a batted ball by
Tyler Begley which was booted. Mt. Morris scored a single run in the fourth, cutting the gap to 2-1. But then came the fifth
inning. Three singles, two doubles and an
error allowed Mt. Morris to score the six
runs and capture a 7-2 lead.
The Blue Devils had some chances to
get back into the game. They scored a run
in the sixth when Allor reached on an error, stole second and scored on Alexander’s single to center. Then in the bottom
of the seventh, Tyler Smith, who walked,
scored on Allor’s double, cutting the gap
to 7-4. Lake Fenton actually had the gametying run at the plate, in the seventh but
were unable to score again.
The top six teams at the 14-team district

By Ryan Tackabury
“It looks like a toadstool that has
sponges that sit up like a thumb.” That’s
the description of a morel mushroom
from local morel hunter Robert Jarret.
Yet every year thousands of people
across the country head out into the woods
to scavenge any of the mushrooms that
they can find. At around $20 a pound, it’s
easy to see why people would seek out
morels on their own. Not only is it more
cost efficient, it can be fun too.
Jarret and his wife Sue have been hunting for morels for more than 30 years.
It’s a hobby they have shared with their
children, and now grandchildren. This
year they started hunting the week before
Mother’s Day and gathered more than
1,100 morel mushrooms.
“It’s something we have done with
our kids and with our grandkids and
something we will pursue doing forever.
That’s our plan,” he said.
Despite how expensive they can be or
the work involved of picking your own,
there is one clear reason they morels
remain popular — the taste.
“They’re just a wholesome tasting
mushroom. Whatever you make it with,
it will bring out the flavor,” Jarret said.
“It just has a flavor of its own.”
Because the season for hunting morel
mushrooms is so short, you will want
what you pick to last as long as possible.
To do this, you can dry the morels and
save them until you decide you are ready
for another morel dish.
To air dry morels, leave them in a cool,
dry place until they become brittle, which
can take up to a week.
“We use a screen,” Jarret said. “You
can use your window screens or whatever
it might be. You set that up so the air is
below it and above the morels.”
To dry them quicker, morels can be
oven dried by setting an oven to 140
degrees Fahrenheit. Using a needle and
dental floss, string the morels together,
Last call for morel hunting
If you want to go out and pick your
own morel mushrooms, you have a
little bit of time left. The picking season tends to end in mid-June. With that
in mind, here are some tips for finding
them
• Know how to identify the morels.
Real morels will have pits and a cone
shape, with the bottom of the cap attached near the bottom of the stem.
Before you go out picking be certain
you can identify a real morel so you do
not eat a potentially toxic mushroom.
• Know where to look. Morels tend
to appear on the edge of forested areas,
and grow around elm, oak, aspen, and
ash trees. Once you come across a
morel, look around to see if others have
grown in the nearby vicinity.
• If you are new to hunting morels,
look for someone who already has
experience who can share their knowledge with you. Not only will you be
able to learn how to hunt faster, but you
will have company as you hike through
the woods looking for delicious snacks.
Source: www.fieldandstream.com
and hang them from your oven’s cooling
racks so that no morels are touching. This
process will take about eight hours.
When you are ready to revive your
dried mushrooms, just add water. Let the
morels sit in a bowl of water for about
20 minutes and they will once again
become soft.
“They shrivel up and will get hard and
dry. When you put them in water, they pop
to life again. It’s amazing,” Jarret said.

Q.
Bobby
Grossi
By Sally Rummel
It’s not by accident that Bobby
Grossi, 40, of Linden describes himself first and foremost as a husband
and father, before talking about his
work as a dentist. Married to Sabrina
for 13 years and the father of three,
Grossi grew up in Flint and is passionate about his role as a community
booster for Linden, which has been
his family’s home for the past eight
years.
You’re a real booster for Linden.
What is it about your community that you love so much? I
believe in being involved. My dental
practice, Gateway Dental in Grand
Blanc Township, sponsors four local
traveling baseball teams, and I coach
AYSO soccer and baseball here in
Linden. Since moving to Linden eight
years ago from Flint, my whole family has moved to the area, too. I love
the Fenton and Linden area because
everything is so down to earth. What
you do for a living doesn’t separate
you from who you are. It’s not pompous or arrogant. It’s not about your
job title, it’s what’s in your heart.
You seem very passionate about
helping others. Where has that
desire come from in your life?
I came from a broken home in Flint,
raised by a single mother. I know
what it’s like to lose everything.
When you’re a child, life is always
about you. Now I know life is much
bigger than myself. In fact, it’s not
about me at all. I just want to try to
make the biggest impact in the world
that I can. I want to put a smile on
everyone’s face other than mine.
leave them? I
want to teach
my kids by
example how
to live life to
the fullest by
giving back to
others.
“When you’re
a child, life is always
about you. Now I know
life is much bigger than
myself. In fact, it’s not
about me at all. I just
want to try to make the
biggest impact in
the world that
I can.”
Great question!
Refrigerators
manufactured 15 years
ago consumed at least
twice the energy that
today’s units do. A refrigerator is also
by far the largest energy consuming
device in your home, that’s why
Consumers Energy offers a $50
rebate plus hauls away your old
working refrigerator if you purchase
a new one. When purchasing a new
unit pay attention to the energy rating
tag on the unit. Not all new units have
the same energy rating. LG seems to
have the lowest energy consumption
that I have seen.

Powerhouse 365
The Colosseum
Longtime Powerhouse Gym makes upgrades with new owner
By Sally Rummel
If you haven’t been to Powerhouse
Gym in Fenton for awhile, you’re in for
quite a surprise.
New owner Kevin Law assumed ownership on April 1, and has begun a plan
of renovation not only in facilities and
equipment, but also in services and accessibility. Called Powerhouse 365, Powerhouse Gym has already undergone many
physical changes — from an emphasis
on cleanliness and sanitation to a more
open floor plan and a renovation of
showers and dry saunas. The popular
smoothie bar will be re-opening and
exciting new cardio equipment will be
added.
But more importantly, it’s a whole
new attitude at Powerhouse. As a longtime active member himself, Law knew
that some updates needed to be made
in order to keep fitness a priority in
people’s busy lifestyles.
“We’re already open 365 days a year,
and it costs only $1 a day to work out as
often as you want at Powerhouse,” said
Law. By Christmas, he plans to have tran-
sitioned Powerhouse into a 24/7 facility,
so that members can work out whenever
it fits their schedule.
Child care will re-open on Monday,
June 3 from 9 to 11 a.m. and 6 to 8
p.m. “That’s one of the misconceptions
people have about Powerhouse,” said
Law. “We’re a complete fitness facility
that caters to all fitness levels, not just
body builders. When people are ready
to get results, this is where it happens.”
He also wants members and the community at large to be proud of having
a Powerhouse Gym in the tri-county
area. “We are the biggest fitness facility
in the area with the most equipment,”
said Law. “There’s no waiting in lines to
work out. That’s a huge time and money
saver for our clients.”
Law is striving to get the award for
the best “turn around” club by making
important changes at Powerhouse Gym,
step by step. “It’s all in the details,” he
said.
Powerhouse Gym is located at 1376
North LeRoy St. in the VG’s north end
plaza. For more information on membership, call (810) 714-0911.

New fitness, event facility opens in Fenton Township
By Sally Rummel
All of the athletes came to The Colosseum in Rome to train and compete,
back in 82 A.D. This is exactly the goal
that today’s owners of The Colosseum
have for their facility, located at 14261
Torrey Rd. in Fenton Township.
“We are a facility that trains, educates and provides fitness activities for
youths and adults,” said Laird Landis,
president and principal owner who has
partnered in The Colosseum with Tim
Hellebuyck and Dan Kocks.
The Colosseum is actually several
concepts under one roof.
• Performance training, led by Ken
Hill, offers small group training for
youths from 10 to 18 to develop core
muscle strength, speed and agility for
success in any “ball” sport — from
football to soccer, lacrosse to baseball,
basketball and soccer.
• Fitness classes for all ages are offered
by Abby Rhoades, director of fitness
and health, who uses her background
of P90X, Insanity, yoga, Pilates, and
body sculpting. She is also a certified
massage therapist.
• Professional training, primarily pitching and hitting for baseball
and softball, is led by several pro
athletes, including Brandon Reed,
Matt Dimich, Tim Simpson and Scott
Aldred. This is designed for young
people who are taking their skills
to the next level with collegiate or
professional aspirations.
“The Colosseum has tailored its
programming to both team training and individual training at many
different levels at a year ’round
facility,” said Landis. “Many local
high schools are already using our
facilities for practice and training.”
In addition to these programs,
The Colosseum also operates a
full service athletic gear store for
high school programs or club and
travel programs. “We are the single
source for uniforms for Fenton High
School’s Wounded Warrior football
program,” said Landis.
Perhaps the most exciting part
of The Colosseum’s development
is the community use of the 30,000
square foot indoor arena. In addition
to fitness activities, special events are
planned — from Mom2Mom sales to
a Blowout Boat Show set for this fall
and an active senior program targeted
for fall.”

and events at The Colosseum, visit

Let it go!
Sitting at my computer, I pondered
how to answer a letter from a bitter
man; bitter because he refused to let go
of an attitude that was robbing him of
the joy of living.
Wronged by a member of his family
many years earlier, this angry writer
had composed a blistering letter to
the relative he felt had contributed to
a family breakup from which he had
never recovered. Now he had sent a
copy of this letter for me to read before
mailing it to his supposed enemy.
He wrote well.
But the content of his letter revealed
the identity of his real enemy: himself.
He refused to forgive the one he
blamed for his problems and this had
been perpetuating his misery for years.
In spite of efforts I had made in the past
to help this bitter man break free from
anger, he had kept coddling his contentiousness and as a result his emotional
wounds refused to heal.
Millions, like my cold correspondent,
move through life shackled to their
sulking because they are unwilling to
forgive.
How can we forgive those who’ve
wronged us deeply?
Here’s a more difficult question to
answer: How can we keep on forgiving
when the offense is repeated again and
again?
Peter once came to Jesus and asked
how many times he should forgive one

CAN ANYONE REMEMBER what
year it was that Long Lake’s name was
who had offended him. Seven times
seemed sufficient to Peter, but his Lord
told him to multiply that number by 70,
calling for His questioning disciple to
forgive 490 times. Actually, Peter was
being taught to just keep on forgiving. One who has forgiven 490 times has
developed a healthy habit of living in a
forgiving way.
Following this challenging lesson
on forgiveness, Peter was told about a
king who discovered one of his trusted
servants had borrowed heavily from
the royal coffers and owed him a large
amount of money. Since the servant
couldn’t pay what he owed, the king
ordered that his family be sold into
slavery and the money applied to his
huge outstanding debt. Later, however,
the king had a change of heart and
forgave the servant, canceling his entire
obligation.
Upon being forgiven, the ungrateful
servant found one of his friends who
owed him a small amount of money
(about fifteen dollars) and threatened to
have him thrown into prison if he didn’t
pay up immediately (Matthew 18:2325).
This parable teaches the first principle of forgiveness: we must forgive
because we have been forgiven. But another important dimension to the lesson
is added: we have never been wronged
to the extent that we have wronged
God. Since He offers to forgive us, we
are obligated to do the same for others. A free flow of forgiveness would revive most churches and revitalize many
marriages.
Barriers erected long ago would fall.
Warm embraces would replace cold
stares.
Nursing an old wound grieves God
and barricades His blessings.
Let it go!

Marching Ant Moving, a moving company in Grand Blanc advises homeowners to
label each moving box with a list of contents and to what room it should be carried.
Moving checklist
Marching Ant Moving of Grand
Blanc offers moving tips for summer’s busy re-location season
flammable goods or ammunition.
• Tape the bottom of all packing
boxes. Folding them in leaves them
weak and vulnerable to damage.
• Have a general “game plan” for
the location of large items at your
new location, to help avoid relocating
items several times.
• It is easiest for everyone if pets
and small children are taken care of
off-site during a move.
• To save time on moving day, break
down beds and disconnect appliances
before movers come.
• Try to say goodbye to neighbors
the day before the move to avoid the
distraction of visitors on moving day.
• Place electronics in original packaging if you still have it, for additional protection.
• Provide the movers with cell phone
numbers in case there are questions
on moving day.
• Keep a box of essentials that stays
with you for things like medications,
vital documents that you don’t want
to have to search for on moving day.
By Sally Rummel
Summer is the busiest time to
make a move, and the work may
seem overwhelming. Marching Ant
Moving of Grand Blanc offers these
tips to help make your move faster,
cheaper and easier:
• Pack heavy items like books and
magazines in small boxes.
• If you are moving from an apartment, try to save a parking spot or
two near the building the night before
by using your own vehicles. This
will make the movers much more
efficient.
• Use packing tape, not duct tape,
for boxes.
• When marking your boxes for the
movers, mark the side and top of each
box with the contents and room the
box is to go to.
• Legally, your mover can’t move

Darlene Ruby Barnett - of
Fenton, died peacefully at
home surrounded by loved
ones
Wednesday, May
29, 2013.
A memorial service will
be held
Monday,
June 3, 2013 at noon,
located at Grand Blanc
Methodist Church, 515
Bush Ave. A lunch service
will be served following the
service. Darlene requested
that people share stories
at the service of how she
touched your life. Darlene
was born on February
19, 1963 in Fenton, the
daughter of Larry Barnett
and Nancy Estep. She
was preceded in death by
her mother Nancy, sisters
Denise Teall and Deneen
Murray and brother Bradley
Barnett. She is survived
by her brother Matthew
Estep and many nieces
and nephews. Darlene
graduated high school
from Lake Fenton in 1981.
She earned her Bachelor’s
Degree in Human Services in 2012 from Baker
College. A practitioner of
Healing Touch and Reiki,
she was an entrepreneur
who wanted to help others
with End of Life services.
She was a lover of animals,
especially her cat Furby.
She was loved by many
and was truly an inspiration
to all who knew her. Being
very spiritual, she believed
that life isn’t about finding
yourself; life is about creating yourself. She encouraged people to follow
their dreams and pursue
their passions in life and
she helped many people
realize their self-worth. To
show compassion to all
and know that love is the
most powerful energy that
exists. To never hold the
opportunity back to love
and forgive others. To not
dwell on the bumps in the
road, for there will be many
because all experiences
you go through happen
for a reason – to grow you
into the person you are
meant to be. And above
all, to know that you should
live each day as your last
because tomorrow is never
promised.

DEAR AMY: My daughter had a baby four
months ago. Her in-laws moved in with
them at that time. The baby was put in a
bassinet for the first month or so. After that
the bassinet was put away, and they did
not put the crib up. The inAmy Dickinson
laws put the little baby to
sleep in their bed at night.
I have heard of horror
stories of babies being
smothered or falling out of
bed. — Worried Grandma
DEAR GRANDMA: I shared
your letter with Dr. Claire
McCarthy, pediatrician at
Boston Children’s Hospital
and an assistant professor
of pediatrics at Harvard
Medical School. She replies:
“According to the American Academy of
Pediatrics, the safest place for a baby to sleep
is in the same room with the parents — but in
their own sleep space. When babies sleep in
bed with the parents, there is always a risk that
the baby could be smothered, fall off the bed or
otherwise hurt.”
Ask
Amy
DEAR AMY: Dad is in his 70s and has a
live-in girlfriend. She has done nothing but
alienate my siblings and me since they have
been together. It hurts so much knowing that
my father doesn’t miss having his kids and
grandkids in his life. It has been years since
Dad has expressed an interest in visiting any
of us (or his grandchildren), and I at least
have stopped bringing it up to avoid the
rejection. — Sad Daughter
DEAR DAUGHTER: Your father got a life,
and you feel left out and lonely. Your father is
not being sensitive to you, so you will have to
express yourself honestly to him, while also
changing your approach to be more positive and
proactive. The way into your father’s sightline
may be though his girlfriend. You should express
an interest in meeting her family and also invite
her to bring your dad to visit you.

Hot car can kill
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I was taking my groceries out to the car when I noticed two small
puppies looking out the window of a car parked
next to mine. The windows were rolled all the
way up, and the pups were panting nonstop. I
ran back into the store and asked the manager
to page the dogs' owner. Fortunately, the owner
responded and went out to the car, saying he
only meant to be inside for a few minutes. Can
you let your readers know that leaving pets in a
hot car, even "only for a few minutes," could be a
death sentence for them? Thanks. — Charlotte

PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D.
To your
good health
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I had a little trouble
breathing, so I saw my doctor, who ordered
a chest X-ray. It showed fluid on the right
lung. The doctor said he would have to do
more tests to find out why the fluid appeared.
Could you guess for me what those tests
might be? What brought this on? — R.H.
ANSWER: A double-ply covering, called the
pleura, encases each lung. A small space between the two leaves of pleura allows the lung to
inflate and deflate effortlessly. The fluid you have
is in the pleural space. The condition is a pleural
effusion. The fluid is not actually in lung tissue.
Infections, illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, heart
failure, blood clots in the lungs, liver cirrhosis and
chest trauma are some of the causes of pleural
effusions. Cancer is another cause. Shortness
of breath, chest discomfort and cough are some
of the things that a pleural effusion engenders.
Some people with an effusion have no symptoms
at all. The fluid is discovered when a person has a
chest X-ray, as was the case with you. The doctor
is most probably planning to obtain a specimen
of the fluid from the pleura. It’s not a difficult procedure. Analysis of the fluid provides information
that determines what caused it. That information
also allows the doctor to determine a treatment
plan and provide you with a prognosis of what to
expect. I’d like to speculate further for you, but I
can’t. I need more information too.

2012 Water Quality Report for the Village of Holly
This report covers the drinking water quality for the Village of Holly for the 2012
calendar year. This information is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided to you in 2012. Included are details about where your water comes from, what
it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and state standards.
Your water comes from four (4) wells located on the West side of town. Wells are
approximately 210 feet deep and are embedded into sand stone (Marshall Formation). The State performed an assessment of our source water in 2003. The susceptibility rating is on a seven-tiered scale from “very-low” to “very-high” based on
geologic sensitivity, well construction, water chemistry and contamination sources.
The susceptibility of our source is moderately high.
Several existing sources of contamination exist in the
Holly Wellhead Protection area:
Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) sites are located at Adelphian Academy,
820 Academy Road; Village of Holly, 201 Elm Street; Holly Area Schools,
800 Elm Street; Fresh Air Society, 4236 Grange Hall Road; Holly Volunteer Ambulance, 504 Maple Street; Mobil Oil, 15241 North Holly Road; Muffler Man of Holly,
503 North Saginaw; Wilkinson’s Auto Repair, 402 North Saginaw; Mabel O. Barnes
Trust, 1125 North Saginaw Street; Holly Gas Company Inc., 114 North Saginaw;
Beacon & Bridge Market, 820 North Saginaw; and Larry Winklemann,
220 Elm Street.
Four Part 201 sites of environmental contamination include Delta Tube and Fabrication Corporation, 4149 Grange Hall Road; Carl Spencer, 422 North Saginaw Street;
Larry Winklemann, 220 Elm Street; and E and S Trucking, 15391 Fish Lake Road.
Potential sources of contamination include Underground Storage Tank (UST) sites,
Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) sites, and groundwater discharge permit sites.
Abandoned wells provide a direct conduit for surface run-off and contaminants
to easily reach the groundwater and may pose a potential problem. To ensure
that these wells are not a potential threat, they should be searched and properly
plugged.
Water Quality Data
The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the
2012 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data
presented in this table is from testing done January 1 – December 31, 2012. The
State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because
the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from
year to year. All of the data is representative of the water quality, but some are more
than one year old.
Terms and abbreviations used below:
• Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs
allow for a margin of safety.
• Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is
allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using
the best available treatment technology.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): means the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a
disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): means the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial
contaminants.
• N/A: Not applicable ND: not detectable at testing limit ppb: parts per billion or
micrograms per liter ppm: parts per million or milligrams per liter pCi/l: picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity).
• Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers
treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.
We are making efforts to protect our sources
by participating in the Wellhead Protection Program.
If you would like to know more about the SWAP report please contact
Brian Klaassen at 248-634-2202, or via email at bcklaassen@comcast.net.
• Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bottled
water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some
contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that
water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential
health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline
(800-426-4791).
• Vulnerability of sub-populations: Some people may be more vulnerable to
contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy,
persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other
immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk
from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their
health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the
risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
• Sources of drinking water: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and
bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and
wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels over the surface of the land
or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some
cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
• Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
* Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come
from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
* Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturallyoccurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic
wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
* Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such
as agriculture and residential uses.
* Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result
of oil and gas production and mining activities.
* Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic
chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and
septic systems.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit
the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food
and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water
which provide the same protection for public health.
*
While your drinking water meets EPA’s standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels
of arsenic. EPA’s standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health
effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research
the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and
circulatory problems.
**
Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. Monitoring helps EPA to determine where certain contaminants occur and
whether it needs to regulate those contaminants.
***
Information about lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health
problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is
primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing.
The Village of Holly is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control
the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for
several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30
seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about
lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking
water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the
Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
We will update this report annually and will keep you informed of any problems that may occur throughout the year as they happen. Copies of this report are available at Village Office
at 202 S. Saginaw St. Holly MI. Office hours are 7:30 to 5:30 Monday thru Thursday. Department of Public Works 201 Elm St. Holly Mi. 48442 Office hours are 6:00 to 4:30 Monday thru
Thursday. This report will not be sent to you.
We invite public participation in decisions that affect drinking water quality. Village of Holly
Council meeting are the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at the Council Chambers, at 315
S. Broad St. Holly MI.48442. For more information about your water, or the contents of this
report, contact Brian Klaassen at 248-634-2202, or via email at bcklaassen@comcast.net.
