Fall Prevention / Home Safety
Falls are a major problem that affect 1 in 3 adults over the age of 65. In 2009, of
the 2.2 million falls, 581,000 were hospitalized and 20-30% of those that fell had
moderate to severe injuries such as hip fractures, head trauma and lacerations.
Even without injuries from a fall, many develop a fear of falling which can lead to
inactivity and actually increase the risk for falls. Most of the common causes of
falls are easily preventable with the help of a physical and/or occupational therapist. Please join us (Asai Manikantan PT and Michelle Snead OT) to discuss various ways you can
prevent falls at home and enjoy your life. Registration deadline, September 23.

them. You will also learn how to identify new scams as they come along. Presented by Gary Allen,
a Northville Elder Law attorney, with more than 30 years experience in protecting his clients from

Northville District Library Is Asking for Millage Renewal
I
On November 4, 2014, the Northville District Library will ask voters to renew the 0.2 mills
they approved in 2010, thus maintaining the current level of service that our community
expects from the Library. This millage renewal will be for 7 years, and will be reduced to
0.19972 mills due to the Headlee Rollback. For the owner of a $200,000 home (taxable
value of $100,000), the cost of the renewal will be $19.97 per year. If this renewal passes,
your taxes will not increase .
B
R
A
R
Y
The 0.2 mill increase approved by voters in 2010 will end in 2015. Since there is no general election in 2015, the Library is asking for the renewal this November, 2014, to take effect in late 2015. Building bonds will be paid off in 2015, so there will be no more Debt
Millage on residents’ property tax bills, saving approximately 0.2 mills per year beginning
in 2016. The Library is primarily funded (95% of income) from taxes paid by residents of
Northville City and the Township.
The millage renewal proposal will be at the end of the ballot, so voters will want to read
both sides of the ballot.
I
N
F
O
Renewal of the millage will ensure the Library maintains its current level of services and
programs, and will keep the Library open its current hours. Online resources like Value
Line for investment research, Consumer Reports, and downloadable books, music and
magazines will be available 24/7 to our many users. Students and adults needing skill
building or online tutoring help can log on to Brainfuse. And access to new and popular
DVDs, books and music CDs will continue. Your Library is a vital part of the community,
helping to keep property values high and contributing to the well-being of all its citizens,
from tots learning to love books to lifelong learners.
