Home after a weekend trip, Shane and
Jennie Kelly of Clarkston made a gut
wrenching discovery. Their beloved dog,
Daisy, was missing.
"We didn't get home until about 1, 1:30
a.m. on Tuesday and she wasnt here," Jennie
said. "We put on shoes and went looking
for her."
The dogsitter had accidentally let the
black-and-white Boston terrier out at some
point, and the 14-year-old canine had
wandered off. In a neighborhood filled with
woods and lakes, they were worried.
She doesnt hear and she cant really
see," Jennie said. "We looked for about 45
minutes, and we were up the next morning at
about 6 to look for her."
They had to. Daisy was Jennie's dog from
the day she was a newborn puppy.
"I had her mom, Molly," Jennie said.
"She's definitely a ham. She was a handful
when she was younger."
They went to local animal shelters at
about 11 a.m. without success. A graphic
designer, Shane made flyers, had them
laminated, and posted them around town.
They also posted information on Facebook
and the For the Love of Louie website.
"People called me, saw the signs and were
concerned. They were very supportive," she
said.
But they soon got a call with good news.
Neighbors found the dog and brought her
to the shelter.
"She ran in front of a bus the driver had
to stop," Jennie said. "Two boys got off at
their stop and scooped her up."
Their grandmother brought the pup to the
Oakland County Animal Rescue.
"I was there within the last couple hours,"
Jennie said. "They let her call me. They were
so wonderful."
Daisy had a hard night, with sore feet and
red eyes, but she seemed none the worse for
wear.
"I gave her a big, giant hug. I put her on
my lap and she fell asleep within minutes,"
Jennie said. "She drank all her water, ate all
Community comes

A Right-to-Work case, which includes
a Clarkston paraeducator, continues
against Michigan teacher unions. The
Mackinac Center for Public Policy filed a
request with the state, June 5, asking the
Michigan Employment Relations Com-
mission to make a new rule.
The new rule, requiring public-sector
unions to notify employees of their abil-
ity to opt out three weeks before the start
of any resignation window, would pre-
vent what happened to Breza and other
union members from happening again.

On Aug. 5, voters will decide the fu-
ture of Clarkston Independence District
Library. During a visit last week, patrons
shared some their thoughts on what the
library means to them.
The library is a great place for every-
one, but especially kids," said Yajaira
Gonzales. "Kids going to the library
means they get to enjoy books, interact
with others kids. It would be awful to have
no library. Awful."
Libraries are a refuge for everybody,
Gonzales said.
"There is nothing like a community
library," she said. "If the library closed
where would people go?
Finding
Daisy
her food, fell asleep on the floor. She slept
for hours."
The Kellys are grateful to the boys and
their grandmother, as well as all their
neighbors and friends.
"We tried to give them a reward, but they
said to pay it forward. They're such good,
sweet boys," Jennie said. "We are so glad
shes home, so grateful. This community is
so caring and thoughtful. Everyone was
looking for her. I'm so glad to live in
Clarkston."
"There was such a good response from
everybody it's fantastic," said Shane. "I
definitely love this community. Everybody
watches out for each other. It's what makes
Clarkston great."

DAY
A group of students from Darlene Roches
8th grade class at Clarkston Junior High
School spent a day in downtown identifying
storm drains and painting them with a fish
symbol as part of an Academic Service Learn-
ing.
The fish symbol came with a message,
"No dumping drains to rivers." In addition to
Depot Park, the students worked on several
storm drains in town on streets like Church,
Washington and other streets.
The class also learned that anything that
goes down the storm drain travels to the riv-
ers. said Roche.
Students painted the symbols on the
storm drains to remind people not to dump
certain materials near the drains because they
eventually make their way into waterways.
According to Roche, Clarkston water
that enters the storm drains makes it way into
the Clinton River and eventually flows into
Lake St. Claire. Water runoff from yards and
paved surfaces also flow into the waterways
and can sometimes carry dirt, fertilizer, pesti-
cides, oil, animal waste and other types of
pollutants.
Roche said the Clarkston DPW was nice
enough to provide materials like paint and
stencils.
The class shared some tips to help pro-
tect waterways, including:
Avoid using fertilizers and pesticides;
Clean up pet droppings;
Keep grass clippings and other yard de-
bris away from storm drains;
Practice good car care keep your car
tuned and fix leaks properly;
Carefully store, dont dump, household
hazardous waste; and
Water lawns only when necessary.

With millions spent or scheduled to
improve Sashabaw Road, attention is now
being refocused on Dixie Highway.
Pat Kittle, Independence Township
supervisor, invited business and property
owners along the Dixie corridor to join him
in sharing ideas for improving the area.
It's the township's oldest commercial
corridor what can we do to make it more
retail friendly, he asked the group, assembled
at Oakhurst Country Club, June 4. Some
properties are phenomenal while others are
older. What can we do to make more
appealing?
Ideas include redevelopment of the closed
gas station at M-15 and Dixie and the former
Clarkston Cinema, improvements to
businesses and residential areas, more
pedestrian crossings, and new marquee
signs at the north and south borders of the
township. Students at Clarkstons Oakland
Tech campus created dozens of designs for
the signs, which they will narrow down this
week, Kittle said.
I'm very interested in seeing what we
can do to improve Dixie Highway, said Fred
Ritter, owner of Clarkston Car Wash.
We havent seen enough projects on
Dixie in a long time, said township
planner Dick Carlisle. It needs a shot in
the arm. Phil Custodio

Springfield Christian Academy filed a law-

information such as reports on particular
areas such as teachers, curriculum and

15 accident Residents joined with lead-
ers with three area subdivisions off M-15
to petition for a stoplight and a reduced
speed limit on M-15 north of I-75 in Inde-

driver turned onto M-15 because it looked
like it was clear. She ended up broadsided
by a vehicle traveling north on M-15.

Online database services key benefit for user
Dear Editor,
Clarkston/Independence Township
residents may not realize that our library
offers over 50 databases for use from home
or at the library using your library card which
can be obtained for free at the Clarkston
Independence District Library.
Connecting with the library at
www.indelib.org, and selecting online
resources on the home page, allows the user
to access databases in the areas of auto
repair, business, careers, consumer
information, education, genealogy,
government documents, health,
investments, languages and more. If you
locate the cursor over each Database,
information on contents and audience are
Dear Editor,
On Aug. 5 voters in Independence town-
ship and the Village of Clarkston will decide
the fate of our library. The average home-
owner in both the township and the village
has been paying $69.10 per year (at a rate of
.6910 mills) to support the library. (The aver-
age home in the area is worth $200,000, but
$100,000 is its taxable value.) If the Aug. 5
vote to raise the rate to 1.25 mills passes, the
average tax bill will be raised by $55.90 for a
year. If the vote fails, Clarkstons library will
disappear.
How much is the library really worth? I
decided to imagine what it would cost to re-
place the entertainment the library provided
our household in the past year:
Just since September, my husband and I
read 21 books, at $20 each, about $420.00.
For myself, I listened to 12 recorded books.
At about $30 each, $160. I could purchase a
membership from a company at $17.98/month
to rent one audiobook per month would be

We watched four seasons of both Foyles
War and All Creatures Great and Small,
plus all episodes of Fawlty Towers. It was
a long winter. Nine sets of DVDs, used, from
Amazon costs $195.
Total cost to replace what we used last
year is between $775 and $830!
Dear Editor,
A library is so much more than books. I
have always appreciated the programs that
have been planned to appeal to community
members. I have taken my grandchildren to
enrichment programs. I have met friends to
listen to Michigan authors and other pro-
grams of interest to adults. Did you happen
to attend the recent celebration of choco-
late? Fantastic!

For example, Rocket Languages allows
you to learn a language on your own terms
in your own time. InfoTrac Newsstand

helps you select the best book to read, based
on your interests.
Get online this summer and browse our

If our library closes, we will not be able to
take out materials from neighboring libraries
without a library card. Cost to purchase a
library card, spending on the library and the
services the card would afford, would be $250
to $750 a year.
Even at the new, proposed millage, our
library is a bargain! One of the best things
about a library is that it is a great equalizer.
anyone walking into a library can feel rich!
Someone who cant afford a computer can
use the librarys - they even offer lessons.
Parents with small children can check out a
bagful of picture books, videos, and pup-
pets every week. Raise a reader - bring your
kids to the summer reading programs. Or, sit
in a leather easy chair in a quiet room and
read a good book. Movies, music CDs, and
E-books are free, and Kindles can even be
checked out on a library card.
Clarkston is full of optimistic people - they
can be seen decorating the lampposts and
planters in our downtown for every season;
they enjoy our wonderful shops and flock to
summer concerts; they built Depot Park and
donated the gazebo. Two generations of
these hard-working people worked to pro-
vide the beautiful library we have today.
Vote "yes" on Aug. 5 to save our library.

at the library on Wednesday evenings. I am
now a knitter. I have learned so much from

keep the library open and available. It fills
the needs of the residents.

Just the facts
Some say stories in The Clarkston News
about all the issues happening in the City of
the Village of Clarkston are nothing but
negative. But we have just reported the facts,
and the things going on are negative.
A local leader has made comments im-
plying I am personally at fault for ruining
her life with the stories
written. I am just doing my
job, and reporting on is-
sues the community
needs to know about.
It is not easy to do this
job. It is not easy to put
feet to the fire when
things go awry. I wish all
news stories were good
news, but they are not.
If you are in a position of leadership, it
would make many a job easier if you do
the right things. Leaders should know you
cannot delete public records. If you dont
even know that, perhaps you should not be
doing the job at all. Public records belong to
the citizens of the community.
As a newspaper, the watchdog of the
area, its our job to make sure our leaders are
doing things in the best interest of the com-
munity. That is not being done for Clark-
ston.
Another thing I find ironic is Clarkstons
attorney is just racking up big bills for all
the issues that have gone on, yet it took
months (and a really bad story) for any
kind of response to a citizen and his attor-
ney.
Attorneys are supposed to protect cli-
ents right? Rather than advising his client
to issue a simple apology, the issue was
ignored and the city could be sued.
One attorney told me the proper thing to
do would be to issue a statement declaring
comments made by the city manager do not
reflect the views of the city. This would have
been a simple task, and then CNews would
not have had to go to such great lengths
and force action.
It took a bad story about inaction and
deleted records, for the client and his attor-
ney to get any response at all. I even went
into City Hall to warn this was going to
happen, but could be prevented. I was
told this was somehow a personal issue
between the leader and me.
The citizens attorney is also under the
impression that the city attorney is unaware
of issues. Yet again, thousands of dollars
in bills are being racked up. So, please, at-
torney, dont try to plead ignorance. Protect
the city and do the right thingissue the
right advice and quit ignoring the issues.
Unless the right thing is done, and soon,
the fire will get much hotter.
I was awakened at 12:35 a.m. on
a Sunday morning recently by the sound
of hot-rodders spinning wheels and rac-
ing engines with modified mufflers.
I said to myself, "It must be spring!"
I live on mile-long stretch of black-
topped road with few houses. It's one
of those roads, like Baldwin Road, that
is a magnet for amateur speeders who
believe it is their personal training track.
Anyway, the wild engine roars
were only temporary interruptions to
my dreams of getting back on the pro
golf tour.
Only once in my long life of driv-
ing did I spin tires on my takeoff, this
after taking Hazel home from a date.
I just got home and Hazel called.
She said, "Did that make you happy?"
Then she hung up. Message heard, loud
and clear.
Sounds of spring bring back memories
We were married 51 years after
that training exercise.

from the barn. The tires
are spinning and mud is
flying.
Then comes a commercial for
Viagra. The farmer has his hand out
the window like someone is handing him
Viagra.
Then a team of horses is seen haul-
ing the truck and everything behind it
out of the mud.
I hadn't figured Viagra to be an en-

Its that they care enough to write. In other words, it

Expired registration
A deputy stopped a vehicle with an
expired registration tab, 8:09 p.m., May 29,

bottle of whiskey. The driver, a 28-year-
Independence Township man, smelled of
alcohol. He refused breath and blood tests,
but officers got a search warrant for blood
draw and arrested him for drunk driving
second offence.
Found wallet
An Independence Township woman was
walking on Maybee Road at Sashabaw when
she noticed a wallet in the street, 2 p.m., June

man and 50-year-old Waterford Township
man were cited for disorderly conduct after
getting into a fight in the 5000 block of
Westview Road, 4:44 p.m., June 3. The 50-
year-old was there to talk to the 41-year-olds

as to when public-sector union members
can or cannot opt out of their union, we
thought this streamlined process would be
a big help to unions that are trying to keep
their members informed and for employ-
ees who are trying to sort out their rights,
said Patrick J. Wright, vice president for
legal affairs.
Last year, Breza missed a deadline to
resign from her collective bargaining unit.
Michigan's Right-to-Work law allows
members to opt out of their unions, but
several districts including Clarkston re-
quire opt-out notices to be filed in the
month of August.
Brooke Davis, president of Clarkston
Education Association, said the August
window allows unions to conduct normal
business.
"Employees of this district always
work with administration to come to
agreements that are best for the district,
students and employees. That is exactly
what happened when we voted on a con-
tract extension that Amy and every other
employee had the opportunity to voice
their opinion on and make it heard at the
ballot box," Davis said. "I would hope that
the Mackinac Center would respect that
vote and not try to buy a different deci-
sion. The Mackinac Center has not ever
shied away from letting people know how
anti-public education they are."
The requested rule would also require
unions to acknowledge members' right to
resign, describe the process to be fol-
lowed, and provide more info on time re-
strictions.
Weve seen how much trouble, for ex-
ample the Michigan Education Associa-
tion has had in trying to keep track of dues-
paying members, Wright said. But other
public-sector unions are probably also ex-
periencing problems with communicating
this information effectively to their mem-
bers, especially those that have a sort of
rolling window based on an employees
hire date. This is a positive step toward
fixing those issues and making sure pub-
lic-sector union members are fully in-
formed of their rights.
Davis said he supports all employee's
right to question union or district policies
and contracts, as well as decisions made
by the courts.
"Amy's or any other employee's First
Amendment rights were never restricted
that I am aware of and in fact, it is usually
labor unions that fight for the rights of stu-
dents and employees above all else," he
said.
Clarkston School Board approved a
contract extension in March 2013, just be-
fore the state Right-to-Work law took ef-
fect.

Reid Kaminski graduated from
Clarkston High School on June 2 - and like
many in the Class of 2014 left his impact
on Clarkston.
Kaminski finished his final football
season as a wide receiver and defensive
back. He helped the boys clinch their first
MHSAA Division 1 state title with a 32-
14 win over Detroit Catholic Central.
During the game he had four tackles and
three assists along with a few key stops to
slow down the Shamrocks.
He received Defense Most Valuable
Player and Ironman honors.
As a member of the Clarkston Varsity
Boys Lacrosse Program, he helped his
team go to the MHSAA Division 1
Regionals finals the last three years. Last
year the team won the regional title.
Kaminski will continue his lacrosse
career at Roanoke College after signing his
letter of intent, May 15.
It is a place I feel like I can make an
impact and we can compete for a national
championship, he said, adding Roanoke
also had a nice setting and is in a nice
community.

biochemisty and plans to go into speech

pathology or occupational therapy.
Or wherever it takes me, he said.
When it came to deciding to continue
with football or lacrosse he leaned towards
lacrosse.
I liked football but lacrosse is really
my passion, he explained. I fell in love
with lacrosse when I first started and since
then I wanted to play it. It is something I
feel is a big part of my life.
He began playing in seventh grade and
started with many of his teammates at the
same time.
Kaminski added the Clarkston Lacrosse
Program has helped as he moves on to the
next level.
We have really good role models in
our coaches, he said. They have shaped
us into good, respectful young men. They
have prepared me for the obstacles I will
be facing in an out of state college and
challenges that come with next level of
lacrosse.
His advice to aspiring athletes is to keep
working hard.
Anything you want to achieve, you
can, he added.
Kaminski graduated Summa Cum
Laude on June 2. He was also on the
National Honor Society. His parents are
Liz and Robert.

The last time the Wolves visited the
MHSAA Division 1 Golf State Finals was in
2006 and this years team was glad to be there
again.
The Clarkston Boys Varsity Golf team fin-
ished in 11th place for the tournament at For-
est Akers East on Saturday scoring 618 dur-
ing the two days.
Playing in the state tournament was un-
like anthing I have ever been a part of, jun-
ior Alex Dice shared. It was very cool be-
ing there with my teammates especially be-
ing there with my brother.
He added being able to be there with his
brother, Brady, a freshman who was pulled
up from the JV team for the regional meet,
was unforgettable.
Just having my brother be a part of that
team is something I will never forget, Alex
said.
What he will also remember is the inten-
sity of the tournament, how many people were
there, college coaches watching the players
and how serious the tournament was.
It was fun being there with my team and
getting the whole experience of playing there
at that level and being with my brother,
Brady added. It was fun. It was a really great
experience just to be there. It was a great time.
Just to say I was on the team is an honor.
The Wolves finished the first day with a
300. Senior Luke Nesbitt and junior Brendon
Graham led the first day with a 74. Alex had
a 75; senior Garrett Polish, 77, and Brady,
84.
The boys shot a total of 318 for the sec-
ond day with Nesbitt and Polish with a 77
and Brendon with an 83. Alex and Brady both
shot a 82.
Alex admitted he struggled the second
day.
It wasnt my best, he added. But it was
still a memorable experience. It was very cool
to be there. It was one of the goals I have had
ever since I was a freshman was to play in
the state championship and be part of the his-
tory for Clarkston. I was very proud to rep-
resent my city.
Alex added he thought at the beginning
of the season the team had the potential to
go to the state finals.
I was thinking this is the strongest team
we have had in a long time, he said.
Brady knew at the beginning of the sea-
son playing with the JV team would be the
best start for him. If he played great there
would be a chance to move up to varsity.
Once everyone started to play well I
knew we had a good chance (to go to finals)
in the end, he added.
Swartz Creek won the state championship,
scoring a 584. Detroit Catholic Central came
close in second place with a 585 while Rock-
ford, Grandville and Plymouth rounded off
the top five. The Wolves only lost two play-
ers due to graduation - Nesbitt and Polish.
Alex and Brady are looking forward to next
spring and the finals helped with motivation.
This definitely motivates us just to get
our game ready and keep practicing to get
better to get a run at the state championship
again, Alex said.
Brady added it motivates him because
they lose their top two golfers.
It motivates me to get my game going
and make sure I can get back there, he said.
Hopefully if not as a team then as an indi-
vidual so I can give myself another chance
to be in the state tournament.

Landscaping tips from Tom
Patios,Pathways,
Walls & More
www.lowrieslandscape.com
Hardscaping is a term landscape contractors use referring to the part of a
home or buildings grounds consisting of structures, such as patios,
retaining walls, and walkways made with hard materials. Anything made of
hard material thats not living is hardscaping.Whether attempting a
hardscaping project yourself or hiring a professional to do it for you, use
the following tips to avoid expensive pitfalls:
Look at the big picture. Even if youre only tackling one element at a
time, consider designing the entire area before you begin. Once a hardscape
project is in, it can be costly and difficult to tear out and move.
Pay attention to drainage. Make sure you have adequate drainage and when
possible capture the water and use it on site.
Balance boulders. A big rock, sitting on top of soil does not look natural. Bury
boulders deep enough so they blend in and balance them with plants.
Love your lines. Think about the natural lines of your outdoor space, use curves to
transition gracefully from one element to the next for a natural look. Hard rectangles
and squares work well for a contemporary design.
Leave some lawn. Many homeowner in southwest states opt for all hardscape and
plants but theres nothing like walking barefoot in your yard during summertime in
Michigan.Leave enough grass to mow.
Carefully mix colors. Complement your homes exterior by finding two or
three materials that coordinate with each other and your home. Consider
texture as well as color and remember wood decks and railings count as a
texture and color.
Consult an engineer on big projects. No explanation needed, it will cost you plenty if
a big project fails structurally.
Use good material. A great design will only last as long as the material used holds up and
dont skimp on site preparation only to have your hardscape settle and heave in frost.

just couldnt shut them down.
Both teams were scoreless through the
first four innings. Lake Orion opened the fifth
inning with three runs.
The Lady Wolves came back in the bot-
tom of the inning. Senior Mackenzie King,
senior Rachel Alli and junior Mikayla Blaska
hit singles. By the time sophomore Mariah
Hood stepped up to bat the basese were
loaded hit a double which brought in three
runs to tie the score.
It was awesome, Peters said. I thought
we had them. I thought we shot them down
and won the game. It was exciting. It was a
key hit. She was behind the count and just
ripped the ball.
Junior Madeline Maday struck out the
first of Lake Orions batters going into the
sixth inning followed with the second batter
out.
Then the Lady Dragons third batter Carly
McGee had a walk followed by a single from
the next batter. Kennedi Thomas then hit a
double to bring in two runners before the
inning closed with two more runs to put the
score 7-3 in favor of Lake Orion.
King and Hood had an RBI in the last two
innings but not enough to bring Clarkston
up.
The Lady Wolves finish the season with
an overall 22-12 record with a split in a double
header against Bay City Western on May 27.
They won 7-4 in the last game and lost the
first game, 4-1.
We hoped we would win a couple more
games than we did, Peters remarked. Its a
great group of girls. They play hard every
game. We didnt get a lot of bounces. Maybe
a bounce here and a bounce there. It is al-
ways a privilege to coach such a fine group
of young ladies like that.
They lost two seniors to graduation -
Mackenzie King and Rachel Alli.
They made some clutch plays, Peters
said about the two. They are classy girls.
They were captains and did a great job at
practice.
The team has 14 players coming back and
will be ready for next spring to bring home
the district crown.
We played top ranked teams, said Pe-
ters. They have been formed into being this
really tough team. They know what to expect
from themselves against tough teams.
Peters said this season will help them for
next spring adding with the weather at the
beginning made for a tough second half of
the season because they had delayed games.
Because of the weather we played 13
games in six days so we were kind of
pooped, he said.
It was the way tournaments fell. It also
mentally toughened them.

Camp season begins this week
Employees working for Independence
Township will now have a more flexible
schedule thanks to a new policy adopted
on May 27, allowing employees to opt
into choosing a flexible work schedule.
According to Township Treasurer Paul
Brown, the Flex Schedules allow employ-
ees to choose work hour options that of-
fer something besides a traditional work
schedule.
The alternate scheduling is available
to assist employees in meeting both their
personal and professional goals, said
Brown.
Flexible work schedules do not impact
productivity or add to labor costs, he said.
Rather than a traditional 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. day a week, workweek employees
can choose a flexible block of time at the
beginning or end of traditional work
hours, 10 hours a day four days a week
rather than five, or a shortened lunch
hour, the treasurer said.
According to the new policy depart-
ment heads will work with the supervi-
sor to adopt new schedules for employ-
ees who opt into the program. The su-
pervisor will also work with union rep-
resentatives to work out details accord-
ing to union contracts.

Children at The Learning Experience in Clarkston raised
$2,503 for St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital at its an-
nual Trike-A-Thon, May 14.
Families were invited to come out and support a worthy
cause during the four-hour event, while learning about child
safety as demonstrated by fire and police departments, and
children were able to ride their tricycles, scooters and bi-
cycles in a secured lot.
Preschoolers ride to help others
Additionally, children were given pledge cards during the
weeks leading up to the event. Families worked with their
child to collect pledges, which were also collected and do-
nated to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital.
Through donations from the community at the annual
event, the center has raised close to $15,000 for St. Jude
since starting the Trike-A-Thon in 2010. For more informa-
tion, visit www.thelearningexperience.com.
Young tricyclists fill the parking lot at the event.

Matt Underwood lives in Springfield
Township, but comes to the Clarkston library
quite often.
"It is very convenient for me to come to
this library because I work out here,"
Underwood said. "If voters were to say 'no'
to their library, it would be an absolute
shame.The library is such an integral part of
the community. It is used for so many won-
derful things like kids coming in to get books
to read. The library also has so many great
programs for little kids. I used to go to sum-
mer library programs when I was a kid. Going
to the library encourages reading. Reading a
lot also serves you well when you get older."
I love a library, but I am 45," said Chuck
Kelterborn. " I have two in CHS and one in
CJH. I have yet had to bring any of them to
the library for school. Reading is nicer to do
with a book in hand then starring at a screen.
New books are available at stores. I do not
know if there is enough of a demand in this
day in age to keep a library running. I like all
their special programs and have used them
when the children were younger though.
Other views include:
I would really be upset of the library close.
I just dont know what I would do. I come to
the library all the time for Internet access. I
have to come to the library to use the Internet
do all my homework, study for exams, do re-
search and write my research papers. If the
library was not here I would not get my work
done.
Kiara Barahona
Our community would be empty without
the library, and I would be devastated if it
closed. I would miss it terribly. I will do any-
thing to keep the library open.I am an avid
reader, and it means a lot to me to come to the
library to read. My husband is secretary of
Clarkston Lions Club, and the library opens
their doors all sorts of things for the commu-
nity including sponsoring a blood drive and
offering eyesight screening for kids, a pro-
gram many people could not afford. The li-
brary is a vehicle to the community for use to
reach out to people. The library provides a
link between the community and events. At
the library you can also get movies and use
the Internet.
Phyllis Truba
It would just be terrible if the library
closed, and people had no access to the li-
brary. I will be voting yes. Everyone needs
the library, but people of lower income really
need the library to access the Internet. The
programs offered by the library are very much
needed. My son is autistic and the library
staff is always very helpful. They also allow
me to stay with him and help him when he is
in the teens section. The library is also nice
because I am able to find peace and quiet
and no one bothers you.
Kathleen Weger
The library is a place I can find books
that I could not afford or would not want to
buy. I could never underestimate the value
of the library. I value knowledge which is
everything a library represents. I would be
upset if it closed. I am voting yes.
Amber Fullmer
The library is a great source of informa-
tion. It does not matter if you are coming in
just to read a book or to use the computer. I
hate to even think about if our library were to
close. I cannot imagine a community without
a library. It would be catastrophic. The mill-
age has to pass, Clarkston needs a library.
Greg Hall
I have been bringing my kids here since
they were five months old. I have always
brought them here for library classes since
they were just tiny babies. They have always
learned a lot and it gives them a chance to
interact socially with other kids. The library
is a great place for kids at socially interact. It
allows for family activities that could not oth-
erwise be afforded. on the computer. We
will be voting yes to out library.
Jennifer
I like looking at books. I like picking out
books and movies. I like playing games on
the computer. If there was no library I would
be sad.
Anthony Ventimiglia
How can you place a value on knowl-
Patrons like librarys services
Please see Services on page 15
edgewhich is what the library is for. If the
library closed I would be very upset/
Amber Fuller
I come to the library every day to read all
the daily newspapers and use the Internet. If
the library closed I would be without those
two things in life. I am self-employed and
that can quite lonely when I am just working
by myself at home. There are many time I just
come to the library for the atmosphere.
Gloria Henry
And on Facebook:
I cannot imagine living in a community
without a library.
Kari Heiple Vlaeminck
I also cannot imagine living here without
a library. It's hard to believe a community this
wealthy can't support it's library."
Mary Lorraine Plesz
As a newly graduated CHS senior I can
tell you without a doubt that I wouldn't have
been able to maintain my 3.4 GPA without the
library. It's more than just a place to check
out books. It's a really valuable resource for
young adults who don't have a place at home
to study or have trouble paying attention at
home when doing homework. I'd be really
devastated if it closed.
Emily Danielle Ward
I love the library, but can't get there as
often as I would like. I do use the OverDrive

I used the library a lot when my kids were
younger. Three years ago my junior high
school aged son needed something printed
for a project. Discovered that our printer was
broken(pesky power surges:( ), rushed over
to library and with wonderful help got my
sons papers printed. Thank you.
Anne Kristine Kilen
We have younger kids, 7 and 4 years
old, use the library to get books out all the
time and have done from a very young age!
Although I prefer Orion library, Clarkston is
more convenient hence, that's why we use it!
Nice friendly, helpful staff at both! Oh yes,
my older child has just done her piano recital
there in the large meeting room!
Sophie Cox Sanders
I love the library. My children are 10, 13 ,
and 16 and have all used the library. I bought
a book for my oldest for his trip last year and
he came home asking to go to the library to
get the next one. I read a lot and would not be
able to buy all the books I read. I like that
most of the new releases are readily avail-
able. I check out paper books and download
to my Kindle. I can't imagine not having a
library in this community.
Pam Leisz Kuczera
Our library provides so many services
for our community. I bring my young fives
kindergartners every Friday to check out a
book and hear a story. Their children's pro-
grams are really great too. My own two
daughters always look forward to the sum-
mer reading program.
Sandi Gajor Larkins
Save the library vote yes people for the
library here in Clarkston with out it I think we
could never survive with out it.
Spencer Stringer
The library allows kids to read a variety
of books on a variety of topics. The first com-
ment mentions it's easy to buy books now
days but you can't buy every book! It is not
logical. The library has allowed my children
Services, programs for children valued at library
to have a physical book in their hands that is
about a topic they are truly interested in AND
it is explained at their reading level. For ex-
ample my son has always been interested in
Solar Panels. Yes he can look up things online
but most information goes above his head
but at the library they have a book that dis-
cusses solar panels at his level and allows
him to read and learn about it! Also the pro-
grams offered are amazing and help keep our
children engaged and inspired! Every city
needs a library and Clarkston wouldn't be
the same without the library we have!!!.
Susan Smith Schacher
The library means a lot to my family. It's
a literacy resource with awesome programs
for everyonenot just kids. My personal ex-
perience does involve my young kids, but I
know the library also offers programs for
teens, adults and seniors. It's for everyone -
- you just have to take advantage of it! My
oldest son was able to walk to the library
every week while enrolled in Young Fives at
the early childhood center. That experience
ignited his passion for reading, which is truly
invaluable (he loves the library more than
Game Stop!) What a great partnership! I use
the library to check out everything from the
latest in fiction to veggie gardening how-to,
and I do love the biannual book sales. My
husband used the library as a home office
when we lost power countless times this past
winter. My family would be heartbroken if
the library closed. We'll absolutely vote YES
for the millage increase. The extra $60 per
year is 100% worth it to my family.
Kelly Smith
Im going to be the odd one out here so
don't thrash my opinion. First as a college
grad and with an online masters degree I
rarely ventured into the library. In today so-
ciety all the information I ever needed was
available online. Even most of the current
research was not available in print. And with
the the availability of books online the need
for a library has dwindled every year. I do
support a social setting for young people to
learn to read and check out books, but I be-
lieve the funding could be better spent on
programs with a larger impact on young
people such as an expanded band program
or youth fitness.
Derek Casper
Clarkston would not be the same with-
out a library.What would happen to the soul
of a community that would even consider it a
possibility.
Beverly Galligan Sherman
For the record, I am not against the li-
brary although I do question the need for
1.25 mils. I am against the way this is being
treated for city residents who will be voting
for a full 1.25 mil tax increase which the Coun-
cil will then have full control over. Township
residents will be voting for a 1.25 mil Library
millage with a guaranteed rollback of the cur-
rent .691 mils. Even more interesting is that
Township residents could vote a 1.25 mil tax
increase on city residents even if every single
city resident voted no and the township
residents would still only see a .56 mil in-
crease on themselves. Very bizarre, although
apparently legal. For these reasons, I will be
voting no on this ballot proposal.
Cory Johnston
The Aug. 5 millage will ask voters to ap-
prove 1.25 mills. This millage provides 95
percent of library funding.
A no vote would mean the library closes,
with all assets tuned over to Independence
Township.
A 1.25 mill means landowners will pay $1.25
on each $1,000 taxable value of property.
Homeowners with an average property worth
$200,000 would pay about $125 a year. This
millage is an increase of 0.5 mills, or $.50.
I would be sad without the library, confessed young library patron, An-
thony Ventimiglia. Photos by Andrea Beaudoin
Dear Editor,
The Evening Book Discussion Group
of the Clarkston Independence District
Library concluded its 2013-2014 season
on Tuesday June 3. At this meeting,
besides discussing the book designated
for that month, the group optimistically
chose ten books to discuss in the 2014-
2015 season.
Among the books selected for the next
season are recent fiction like Goldfinch
by Donna Tarrt, classics like One
Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel
Garcia Marquez and The Quiet American
by Graham Greene, and the inspiring
World War II account Unbroken by
Laura Hillenbrand.
Why was this an optimistic act?
Because the group which has met
continuously since 1998 along with the
Morning Book Discussion Group that
dates back to 1994 would cease to exist
if the Librarys millage does not pass on
Aug. 5.
The book groups sponsored by
Clarkston Independence Library are open
to any participants who wish to join. You
dont have to be asked or belong to any
specific group. You can come together
with other readers to learn and explore
ideas, make friends, and have fun.
The library not only provides a
convenient meeting place, it provides the
books in several formats. Many of the
copies are borrowed for us through the
interlibrary loan system. The librarians
are happy to help us find supplemental
material about the books or authors to
enrich our discussions.
Other book groups throughout the
community also benefit from these two
book groups because books that have
been purchased in multiple copies for the
book groups over the years have been
assembled into Book Group Kits that
they can borrow. Currently the Library
offers 174 different book group kits.
The book discussion groups are just
one of the many services provided by
the Clarkston Independence District
Library that add to the quality of life in
our community. Please join me in voting
"yes" on Aug. 5 to keep the doors open
for this vital community asset.
By the way, the name of the book we
discussed at our last meeting? Its title is
Life After Life. May it be so.

In response to those who support the
second chance, stealth, library tax increase
vote on Aug. 5, 2014, Independence Town-
ship district library supporters fail to men-
tion that long before the library tax increase
proposal was voted down on Nov. 6, 2012,
the proposal was already set up for a sec-
ond election if the first had failed.
It failed in an election that had the high-
est possible voter turnout, the Nov. 6, 2012
general election, where a majority of voters
said no.
So hear we are again in 2014 holding a
"save the library" second vote on the exact
same tax increase proposal that failed less
then two years ago.
But this time around it will go before the
fewest amount of voters on Aug. 5, 2014,
rather then three months later in November
2014 general election where the majority can
speak again.
So much for the will of the majority, their
vote will be ignored in favor of a vote of the
minority on Aug. 5, 2014.
I disagree. as I did in 2012, that the li-
brary needs a 1.25 millage because the num-
bers as presented by district library officials
show us that the library millage proposal is
asking taxpayers for way too much of our
money. What isn't being told is the fact that
this 1.25 tax increase proposal is an 81.69%
increase over the .691 library millage now
being collected!
Considering that a supporter claims that
the library has lost 40% of it's funding over
the years, taxpayers should ask why the dis-
trict library is asking for an 81% increase.
Especially when you consider the numbers
that came straight from library officials. Here
they are:
In this paper, library director Julie
Meredith said that in 2013 the library's .691
millage will generate $1,030,798, and its ex-
penditures were projected to be $1,038,316.
Resulting in a $7,518 deficit.
But not to fear, the $7,518 deficit will be
taken from the Library's $219,569 fund bal-
ance (slush fund). And the previous year
(2012) the .691 library millage brought in
$1,135,600, the library spent $1,128,800. Re-
sulting in a $6800 surplus.
Using the numbers that were presented
to the public in this paper by Ms. Meredith,
had the librarys 1.25 mill tax hike proposal
been passed by voters on Nov. 6, 2012, the
librarys 2013 revenue would have increased
by 81.69% or $834,946.38.
The 2013 library revenue would have
been $1,865,744.38. A $730,144 revenue in-
crease over 2012, and a $834,946.38 revenue
increase over the 2013 fiscal year. This tax
increase proposal is approximately a $6 mil-
lion dollar increase in revenue over it's 8
year life. So considering that in 2013 the li-
brary had a $7,518 deficit and in 2012 it had
a surplus, why is the library asking for such
a huge $834,946 increase annually for the
next 8 years?
In a March 20 News in Brief, library di-
rector Julie Meredith said the 1.25 library
tax increase proposal "would be a 0.551 mill
increase over the present .691 millage and
would cost an average homeowner $125, a
$56 per year increase."
Meredith went on to say: "It's replace-
ment funding we still need to secure fund-
ing." Yet the numbers tell a different story -
1.25 - .691 = is a 0.559 increase, not 0.551.
Irregardless of that mistake, claiming that a
whopping 81.69% tax in-
crease is "replacement
funding" completely ig-
nores the fact that this pro-
posal is a huge tax in-
crease.
On April 3, 2014 - "One
more chance for Library
Millage" story in this pa-
per, library officials said
"we are asking taxpayers
to pay about $125 per resi-
dence a year, which is $58
more than the average $67
paid now," yet in the same
story Marilyn Pomeroy,
president of the library board said this about
the $125 per residence tax: "We're asking
for about $52 a year increase from last year."
Considering that we've been given nu-
merous different cost scenarios, taxpayers
should be asking why there are so many
inconsistencies in the numbers being pre-
sented by library officials? Will this be a
$56, $58, or a $52 per year tax increase? Tax-
payers have a right to know.
Then on April 16, 2014 the district library
announced that this tax increase will go from
$29.20 per resident to $50.44 per resident. A
$21.24 tax increase per resident.
Considering that property taxes are
based on the assessed value of property
and not on how many residents live in a
home, why were taxpayers given a "per resi-
dent" tax comparison?
More deception - After the failure of the
Nov. 6, 2012 library tax increase proposal
Library Board trustee Kay Robertson said
in this paper that: "Many chose to not even
respond yes or no to the library proposal."
Proponents of this tax increase are beating
the same drums this year claiming that
"many people said they didn't realize it was
on the ballot."
Yet the election results tell a much differ-
ent story:
Results from the Nov. 6, 2012 election:
Trustees -14,728 votes.
Brown, Palatta, Kittle - 13,052, 13,561,
13,848 votes respectively.
The library millage proposal -18,918
votes.
18,918 - 14,728 = 4,190. As you can see
over 4,000 more voters chose to be heard
on the library millage proposal then voted
for any of the candidates in the Nov. 6, 2012
general election, not less!
Taxpayers should question why the new
township board is following the same
sneaky path that the old board set them on
to get this massive tax hike passed when
they easily could have done the right thing
and nixed the failed 81.69% library tax in-
crease proposal and demanded that the li-
brary board propose a realistic library mill-
age.
They could have renegotiated the dis-
trict library agreement and moved the new
proposal from the primary "stealth election"
back to the general election in November
2014 where it belongs.
But, both boards chose to sit on their
hands and let this massive tax hike proposal
go forward unchanged knowing that it failed
less then two years ago. Both groups did
nothing to "save the library" from a fund-
ing proposal that had already failed.
As you can see the appointed library
board and it's director are asking taxpayers
for way too much of our money. Until they
come up with a reasonable and realistic li-
brary funding proposal our family will be
forced to vote no again on Aug. 5, 2014.
A 81.69% tax increase is an outrageous
and unreasonably high request to be mak-
ing of taxpayers twice in less then two
years!. Anyone who claims that this millage
must pass or the district library will close
fails to acknowledge the fact that it failed
once and the township and the library board
did absolutely nothing to change a proposal
that a majority of voters found unaccept-
able.
Now that you've heard the truth and are
armed with the knowledge that this proposal
is asking you for far too much of your money,
I'm sure that you'll have no choice but to
vote no again on Aug. 5, 2014!
An 81.69% tax increase is a totally irre-
sponsible request to be making of taxpay-
ers in any economy! "Securing funding" for
the new district library is a reasonable re-
quest, however asking taxpayers for a
81.69% tax increase twice in less then two
years is unreasonable and voters should
once again deny it..
Tell the district library to go back to the
drawing board and formulate a reasonable
millage rate to "secure it's funding", If the
library is forced to close until it secures that
funding, contrary to the library directors
claims Independence township residents
can join a neighboring library such as
Springfield township.
The cost for non-residents? $75 a year,
according to www.springfield.lib.mi.us/
index.php/about-us/borrowing/borrowing-
privileges. A $50 dollar annual savings over
the Independence township library tax hike
proposal.
Vote no again on August 5, 2014. The
Clarkston Independence district library is
asking for too much!

Q: What is the best way to choose a mortgage lender?
A: The best way is to get a referral from a friend, family member or trusted professional.
Referrals create accountability,and a mortgage lender is simply going to be more obligated
to you if youve been referred to them. If you cant get a referral, try and stay local. Again, this
goes back to accountability.A local lender,someone whose office you can stop by if you have
a question or problem, is going to be much more responsive to your needs. National lenders, or
out of state firms, simply cannot match that same sense of urgency.Of course, you need to
compare rates and fees to make sure you are getting a competitive deal. Ask your prospective
lender for a break down of not only your mortgage related costs, but the total transaction costs.
If they arent willing to provide an accurate, detailed breakdown, you need to keep shopping.

Q. What happens if I dont get enough vitamin D?
A. People can become deficient in vitamin D because they dont consume enough or absorb enough from
food, their exposure to sunlight is limited, or their kidneys cannot convert vitamin D to its active form in the
body. In children, vitamin D deficiency causes rickets, in children where the bones become soft and bend. Its a
rare disease but still occurs. In adults, vitamin D deficiency leads to osteomalacia, causing bone pain and muscle
weakness. Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to autoimmune disease, cancer, depression, diabetes, high
blood pressure and multiple sclerosis. Your vitamin D level is just as important as your Cholesterol level make
sure you know your number and aim for 80. Most people in Michigan are deficient in vitamin D and need to take
a supplement to have an adequate level of vitamin D.

Q. What is heat exhaustion and what to do?
A. Heat exhaustion or hyperthermia, is a heat related illness. It is a warning that
your body can no longer keep itself cool and you become dehydrated. Signs to watch
for are: confusion, dizziness, nausea, headache, muscle cramps, and profuse sweating.
Your skin will feel cool and clammy. Get out of the heat immediately and rest in a cool
place. Drink plenty of water (caffeine and alcohol will dehydrate you even more). Take
a cool shower. If your not feeling any better after 30 min contact a doctor. This con-
dition can quickly turn into heat stroke which can be life threatening.
Students work out the angles in table project
About 25 students at Renaissance High School are putting
their carpentry skills to the test, making tables for an outdoor
classroom.
Their math skills are also getting a workout, said teacher
Sara Mastie.
"This has been a really good geometry project," Mastie
said. "If an angle is off by just a few degrees, the piece
wont fit. It helps them realize how important angles can
be."
The four octangular picnic tables and a teaching board
are funded entirely though a grant through Project Learning
Tree. Employees from Lowes also stopped by to help
students plan and design the project, the teacher said.
"Theyre turning out really nice looking, sturdy tables,"
she said.
The project will be complete this week, she said.

Youre out walking the dog on a
nice summer evening and see
someone suspicious in a neighbors
back yard.
Whats the first thing you do?
Probably hit 911 on your cell phone.
Within seconds, the County 911
dispatch service will have a profes-
sional from the Oakland County
Sherriffs department responding to
the scene.
Independence Township has the
Oakland County Sheriff under contract
to provide all police
services. This includes,
but is not limited to,
routine patrol, traffic
safety, neighborhood
watch, criminal investi-
gations, school liaison,
emergency medical and
fire runs and more.
The Oakland
Sheriffs Department
has provided this
service for years. And
the really good news . . .
. . . The Oakland County Sheriffs
Department is one of the best trained
and best equipped public safety
organizations in the country.
According to Undersheriff Mike
McCabe, The Oakland County
Sheriff Department has been
partnering with Independence Town-
ship going back into the 1960s
providing public safety. Independence
is a great community. The Sheriffs
department is looking forward to
continue our relationship.
Who Ya Gonna Call?

O As the last precinct located in an elementary
school, Precinct 14, Pine Knob Elementary School
is now abolished. Precinct 14 voters have been
dispersed to one of the following four precincts:
Precinct 7, 11, 12 or 13.This action will reduce the
number of precincts from 14 to 13 and will result
in reduced costs associated with staffing, planning
and equipment needed for the administration of
elections.
O Also due to the abolishment of Precinct 14,
Waterford School District boundaries were re-
aligned and those voters will now vote at Precinct
12 in the CCSs Administration Building. This ac-
tion reduced precinct splits from 4 to 1 and will
reduce voter confusion and costs associated with
having multiple ballot styles.
O The newly aligned Precinct 13 is relocated to the
CCSs Administration Building. Because Precincts
12 and 13 have the lowest voter count, it was de-
termined that the CCSs Administration
Building would better service voters in terms of
parking availability and voter foot traffic in the
building.
O Due to the unsafe traffic issues experienced on M-
15 in 2012, Precincts 3 and 4 at North Oaks Com-
munity Church have been relocated as follows: Pre-
cinct 3; Carriage House @ Clintonwood Park and
Precinct 4; Clarkston Independence District Li-
brary.
O Because Clarkston Free Methodist Church, Pre-
cinct 7 relocated their congregation to a location
outside Independence Townships legislative
boundaries, it can no longer serve as a precinct lo-
cation. The newly aligned Precinct 7 voters have
been relocated to Oakland Woods Baptist Church;
Precinct 11 voters have been relocated from Oak-
land Woods Baptist Church to Mt. Zion Church and
Precinct 9 voters have been relocated from Mt. Zion
to a new precinct location; Harvestland Church,
5848 Clintonville Road.
Why has my precinct changed?
What every voter should know about absentee voting
O Did you know that Independence Township has
27,297 Voters and of those voters, 3,257 are currently on the
permanent absent voter list?
O Did you know that 7,636 voters voted in the August
2012 Primary Election and of that number, 2,564 voted by
absent voter ballot amounting to 33% of the voter turnout.
O Did you know that the Clerks office is mandated
by state law to be open on the Saturday prior to EVERY
election? The Clerks office will be open from 8:00 am
until 2:00 pm on Saturday, August 2 to issue absent
voter ballots for the August 5 Primary Election.

If the millage fails, the community
would be without library service, Julie
Meredith - Library Director
What is all this new district library
millage rate stuff about?
The Clarkston Independence District
Library (CIDL) is seeking a millage rate
of 1.25 mills (equal to $1.25 per $1000 of
taxable value of all taxable property in
Independence Township and the City of
the Village of Clarkston), up from the
current millage rate of .691. This will re-
place all current library funding in the
Township and City.
Why is the District Library even
asking for more money?
The librarys assessed millage has
been at .75 mills or less since the library
was established in 1965.

How do we compare to neighbor-
ing libraries?
Springfield Township Library
Millage Rate: .91730
Population: 13,940
Per resident: $44.58
Brandon Township Library
Millage Rate: 2.0000
Population: 15,245
Orion Township Library
Millage Rate: 1.4189
Population: 35,394
Independence District Library
Current Millage Rate: .691
Population: 35,563
Clarkston Independence District Library Millage Update:
New millage will allow library to continue operations
After the millage passes
Independence District Library
New Millage Rate: 1.25
Population: 35,563
So what will this cost?
With a market value of $200,000 and
an assessed value of $100,000, the old
millage rate was $69 per year. Under
the new ballot proposal, this amount
would increase to $125 per year. This
represents a $56 annual increase ($125
less $69) or $4.66 per month incremen-
tal.
What happens if the 1.25 district
library millage does not pass?
According to Julie Meredith Clark-
ston Independence District Library Di-
rector, The millage constitutes 95% of
the librarys operating budget and the
current funding sources expire in 2014.
If the millage fails, the library essentially
does not have funding!
In addition, according to the District
Library Agreement, if the millage fails,
the library legally dissolves and would be
forced to close on August 10, 2014 until
the State could determine what options
may be available to legally begin again.
This means the agreements by which
residents may freely use neighboring li-
braries would also dissolve. If the mill-
age fails, the community would be with-
out library service.

BY PHIL CUSTODIO
Kids like playing computer games.
Students at Pine Knob Elementary spent the
year learning how to make them.
They taught me a lot of things with
coding they became the experts on
technology, said fourth grade teacher Lisa
Drew during the Coding Clubs
presentations to parents, June 4.
Lori Banaszak, technology integration
specialist for Clarkston Community Schools,
started the club after presenting a workshop
on coding instruction for elementary
students earlier this school year.
Kids want to do more with computers,
Banaszak said. They learned how to create
a project for someone else, not just to do it,
but why to do it. They play games all the
time. This teaches them to be a creator, not
just a consumer.
It will also be good experience for when
they enter secondary school technology
programs, she said.
Fourth grader Ashlyn Pew was interested
in learning about technology, and how to
make games and activities.
"My dad works in that business, with
firewalls and technology," Pew said.
Classmate Alyson Wilson also has a
father in the technology business.
"He has to code with numbers I was
interested in learning what he does," Wilson
said. "I learned a lot. In the beginning, I didn't
know how to do most of it, but she (Wilson)
helped me. And when I learned how to do
something like change costumes, I showed
her how to do it.
They teach each other its really
interesting, Drew said.
Ive always wanted to create computer
games, said fourth grader Trent Schneling.
I learned a lot. I learn that when you make a
lot of mistakes, you have to start over, but
Kids learn the code to success in life
keep on going and youll usually do better.
Using the website Scratch.mit.edu, a Flash-
based programming language and online
community, fourth and fifth graders spent
lunch and recess time every Wednesday
learning how to program games and activities.
Last Wednesday, they demonstrated math
games they made for first graders, with
graphics, music, levels, and rewards.
They made games to engage the kids,
Drew said. They had to code the game to tell
it what to say when the player gets the question
right, and what to say if the answer is wrong.
It takes a lot of consistency and patience,
doing the same thing over and over, she said.
Independence and Springfield Plains
elementary schools also have coding clubs.
Banaszak hopes to spread the club to all the
schools in the district.

Special to the Clarkston News
Blessings in a Backpack does exactly
what its slogan says, it feeds the future of
America.
Many families are not able to feed their
families during the weekend, including
families in Clarkston. BIAB provides food
for children who usually dont eat enough
during the weekend.
There is a horrible need in the
community that no one seems to know, said
Thelma Petterson.
A team of 200 volunteers fill the
backpacks each week, take them to schools
and place them in students lockers for the
children. Girl scouts volunteer to fill the
backpacks once a month and 45 students
from Renaissance High School set up the
food on Wednesday mornings for packing
each Wednesday night.
Meijer provides the food at a reduced cost
and Changing Places Moving Company
picks up the food for BIAB. The Optimist
Club is also a big supporter of BIAB through
donations. They have got nothing but
positive feedback from people.
It really is a team effort, said Jess
Roeder, co-chair of BIAB.
With so many people volunteering their
free time to this organization, it seems like
they must have a reason to do so.
It makes such a great impact on the
families, said Marian Perez. Its one less
thing for them to worry about.
Joyce Bleim agreed adding, Were
helping an entire family.
Residents are beginning to see the
difference it is making in the community.
Laura Larsen, the volunteer coordinator for
schools, got 56 volunteers at Sashabaw
Middle School when parents saw the impact
it had in the classroom.
With more volunteers and donations
coming in, it shows that the community sees
the improvements the organization has made.
To feed one student each weekend for one
year only costs $100. When people hear this
they are very willing to give them money.
Their fundraisers have been improving
each year, as well. On Sept. 28 they will host
their 3
rd
annual Golfing Fore! Backpack golf
outing at Pine Knob. This year they will have
a hole in one contest, which is new. They
would love to fill all three golf courses this
year, which they were close to the previous
years.
Other fundraisers take place throughout
the year, including Fashions for a Blessing,
Clarkston State Bank Back Roads Half
Marathon, Taste of Clarkston and an
Alexander Zonjic Christmas concert.
Students are also getting involved. 6
th
graders from Sashabaw Middle School put
on the stepping stone project, where they
decorate a stepping-stone and sell it for $10.
All proceeds go to BIAB.
Blessings for community kids
Some teachers even donate some of their
payroll to the organization. They get about
$700 a month from the teachers.
The teaching community is such a great
support system, said Cheryl Whitton,
chairperson for BIAB Michigan.
They know what a difference it makes in
the classroom, added Brenda Dupree.
These differences include increased test
scores, improved attendance, decreased
behavioral issues and greater attention
spans.
About 330 backpacks are distributed
each week, but 1,500 children qualify. Parents
have to choose to participate in order to
receive a backpack. Right now they help
children in the elementary schools, middle
school, early childhood center and
Renaissance High School. In the fall they
will be expanding to the Jr. high and high
school. By adding on these two schools, they
will be helping the entire district.
Clarkston is one of two communities in
Michigan where the churches and
community are behind on the program.
The organization was first held in the
Clarkston United Methodist Church. It is
currently at Clarkston Free Methodist
Church but will soon be moved to the old
Saturn dealership, where they will have a
larger facility.
According to Whitton, more BIAB
programs are opening across Michigan in
the fall. After seeing how it affects the
children, they are hoping to get even more
programs started.
The students who receive the backpacks
are thrilled that they have food for the
weekend.
There was a little boy who said I get to
eat! when he was told he would be getting a
backpack of food, said Liz Porter,
chairperson for Blessings in a Backpack in
Clarkston. It brought tears to my eyes, but
thats what the program is for.
Seeing how it impacts the children in
Clarkston make all of the hours of
volunteering worth it. To help, can contact
volunteer coordinator Thelma Petterson at
248-528-1060.

The Tigers of Pine Knob El-

and various activities during their
annual field day, May 30.
The activities included the sack
races and bouncing ball races,
jump roping, hula hooping, and
shooting with a Nerf bow and ar-
row.
The students also had a choice
of two inflatable obstacle courses
for a chance to race their friends
(repeatedly).

They leaped in the high jump and long
jump, ran and climbed in the inflatable
obstacle course, competed in sack races
and threw frisbees.
They used teamwork in the tug-o-war
against classmates and in the three-
legged race while keeping cool as they
raced by the sprinkler.

High School:
I never thought Id
feel this way about you,
With all the pain
and stress you caused.
I feared you and cringed
in your presence.
All the time I was
with you I wanted
to run away.
Day after day,
I just waited for
the weekend so
I would be free of you.
Now that you want me gone,
Now that Im leaving I dont
want to.
I remember the good times Ive
spent with you,
All the victories you led
me to,
All the friends you
introduced me to.
I dont want to graduate
from you not yet.

To sum up Class of 2014 is best
to listen to the words from Kurt
Richardson, Clarkston High School
Physical Education teacher and
Head Coach for Clarkston Wolves
Varsity Football.
"This truly is a class of champi-
ons," said Richardson to the gradu-
ating class during commencement
on June 2. "They set a new stan-
dard."
He asked the grads to do three
things - remember their roots; dare
to dream and follow those dreams;
and follow their passion and find
their niche.
Congrats Class of 2014. We miss
you already!
Graduates set
new standard
