boost to help

BY TREVOR KEISER
Clarkston News Staff Writer
Oakland County deputies were on the trail
of a funeral bandit when he caught wind of
the investigation and took off for Colorado.
Detectives were able to follow a trail of
pawned stolen property all the way to the
Boulder State, thanks to the Leads Online
computer database.
We put an alert in, hey, if this guy comes
into your store, call the police, said
Detective Gennifer Harvey, assigned to
Independence Township. He went into a
store in Colorado pawning jewelry he had
stolen from another home invasion in
Waterford and boom, the police came in and
they arrested him. We were able to extradite
him back to Michigan.
Independence Township now has access
to the database, after unanimous approval
of the Township Board, May 24.

Principal retires
after 35 years
BY WENDI REARDON
Independence Elementary Principal Chris
Turner stood up with his family as students,
parents and teachers gave him a standing
ovation at an Ice Cream Social held in his
honor last Thursday.
"As I look around the room it's not about
me," he said to the crowd. "It's about us."
After 25 years as an elementary school
principal and 35 years working in education,
Turner will retire this year.
"Thank you to the entire school
community for your support with what we

City Freedom of Information requests slow for resident

BY PHIL CUSTODIO
After months of Freedom of Information
Act requests, city resident Cory Johnston
has compiled a list of almost $200,000 in
spending he finds questionable by the City
of the Village of Clarkston, but few
satisfactory answers.
"The citys decisions at all levels often
have little or no documented justification,"

Johnston said. "Council resolutions have
yet to be provided to the public in the
manner required by the City Charter."
Spending issues for Johnston include
$2,300 by the city manager for consultant
fees for a proposal to extend special-event
permit requirements to private property;
$6,000 for new LED street lights; $122,166
for the new Depot Park south bridge and

path; and $66,046 in design and consulting
fees since 2014 for a DPW garage and city
hall expansion
City Manager Carol Eberhardt said it will
take some time to respond to the list.
I have had back-to-back meetings all
day today and expect a Girl Scout troop
here in 15 minutes. I am also preparing for
7-8-16
over 100 children who are visiting City Hall

tomorrow, Eberhardt said in an email, Monday.
Also at issue are lawsuits against the
city, Johnston said.
Susan Bisio's lawsuit regarding a FOIA
request for information is pending. The
lawsuit was filed in December 2015

Final field fun for graduates

After Clarkston High School seniors left
their school for the last time on May 25, they
headed to Clintonwood Park for their Senior
Picnic.
They enjoyed playing games with their
friends including ladder toss, cornhole, and

volleyball.
They also relished spending time with their
friends relaxing and talking while eating a picnic lunch provided by parent volunteers.

Students praise principals dedication to their future

Continued from page 1
do here," Turner said. "Your trust in us as

professionals - that we are making the best
decisions for your kids, the trust in the staff
and me. It's not an easy job being an
educator. When you dont have trust and
support its really difficult. We have trust
here.
"I really want to thank everyone for the
trust and the support they have given not
just to me, but the school and community,"
he added. "It wouldnt be the school it is
without that. It just wouldnt. These are
amazing people I have been blessed to be
able to work with and to serve."
Out of all the years he has worked in
education he has enjoyed working with the
students the most.
"It's my love and my passion seeing the
kids and seeing them them grow," Turner
smiled. "It's what keeps me coming back. I
really enjoy high school graduations. I enjoy
seeing them graduate."
"It amazes me how much Mr. Turner loved
his job," said Ellie Vondette, a Clarkston High
School sophomore. "He was so passionate
for what he did so well. He has the most
forgiving, kind personality. I remember him
greeting every child every morning with a
'Bronco bump' on our way to class."
Former student Katie Globke added she
was fortunate to know him and his family
before having him as a principal at Bailey
Lake Elementary and Independence.
"Mr. Turner has a way of listening and
explaining things that makes you feel heard,
loved, and respected no matter how old you
are," Globke said. "He goes out of his way
to acknowledge and engage with each
student he comes across. When I think of
my time in elementary school, I can always
remember Mr. Turner greeting and saying
goodbye to each and every student on their
way in and out the door. He has such a
positive, calm presence."
She added she was thankful to have him
as a principal and as a new teacher is sad
she won't have the chance to work for him.
"I know you will continue to make a difference in all of your next endeavors. Thank
you for all of your love and guidance
throughout the years," she said.
Turner added the staff is incredible, too.
"Because I am the only principal
Independence Elementary has ever had I
had a hand in hiring every person who has
every worked here. Some I hired at Bailey
Lake Elementary. I will miss them."
Staff members will miss him as well.
Pat Douglas, Independence Elementary's
building secretary, began working with
Turner in 1996 at Bailey Lake.
"The entire Independence Elementary
family has always found Chris to be very
approachable," she said. "No question or
concern was ever too small for him not to
listen to and try to find a solution for."
She added she thanks Turner for his

leadership throughout the years.
"He will be deeply missed," Douglas said.
"I respect him professionally and
personally," said Corena Bell, first grade
teacher. "It's hard to say goodbye."
Turner was a teacher for ten years before
his school principal and superintendent
encouraged him to pursue administration.
He also received encouragement from his
late grandfather, who Turner highly respected
and cared for deeply.
"I mentioned to him people were talking
about me being a principal, but I loved
teaching," Turner shared. "He said 'you have
a lot of impact on kids when you are
teaching. Imagine the impact you would have
on hundreds of kids and teachers who teach
kids. Maybe that impact can be more
profound.' I got thinking more about it maybe it is something to give a try."
He received his specials degree in school
leadership and applied for a job when one
was posted. He applied, interviewed for it,
and was offered the job in Ferndale.
Turner's first position in Clarkston
Community Schools was principal at Bailey
Lake Elementary.
When the bond passed for a new
elementary school, he thought it would be
intriguing to start a new school.
"I put my name into the hat for it and
applied for the job. I was fortunate to get the
job," he said.
It led to one of the many highlights in his
career which was opening Independence
Elementary.
"Not just the day it opened, but the

process of opening this building," Turner
added. "It is something I will never forget the staff pulling together and worked as a
team. It was incredible."
Another highlight is the focus
Independence Elementary puts into teaching
students about servicing the community with
Academic Service Learning and Servicing
Our Community Kids Style (S.O.C.K.S)
which started in 2003.
"S.O.C.K.S. Day is something I feel really
excited and good about," Turner said. "Our
kids leave here, and they have a sense of
giving back to the community and giving
back to those less fortunate. Its an important
lesson we try to teach."
"We appreciate the incredible programs
such as S.O.C.K.S. Day," added the Massey
family, which have known Turner for 11 years
and had three children attend the school.
"Mr. Turners leadership and vision are what
make IE so special."
As of now, Turner plans on continuing
working and will be doing consulting work
with schools throughout the state.
His wife, Sandy, will continue working for
three more years. It will allow them more time
to spend with their three children - Jeff,
Rebecca and Meredith. Jeff and Rebecca
have both finished college and Meredith is
going into her sophomore year at University
of Michigan.
"Its time for me and the school, too, he
added. Its okay to have a fresh face in the
office and some new ideas.

Q. What are the safest types of fish to eat? Arent fish the
best source of omega-3 fatty acids?
A. Fish & shellfish should be bought "wild-caught" and limited to 1 or 2 times a week because they can
contain unsafe levels of contaminants and are often high in mercury and other environmental toxins. Other
sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are plant-based foods, including green leafy vegetables, legumes,
wheat germ and ground flax seeds. If you are getting omega-3 fatty acid supplements make sure it is GMP
certified and every batch is 3rd party tested to avoid contaminating yourself with toxins. At Nuview we use

should. This approach often results in serious long term consequences on our bodys vital organs. Traditional
night guards are generally not a solution to the problem either. Most often, TMJ disorders are a 24 hour
problem that need to be addressed more comprehensively. If your problem remains untreated, your pain
will likely continue and it can lead to irreversible damage to your actual jaw joint. A proper evaluation and
diagnosis is absolutely critical in developing an individualized treatment plan for pain relief. Talk to your
dentist or seek out a physiologically trained dentist who understands these complex issues.

Q. What are the first steps for updating my kitchen?

A. A good way to get started is to have a basic idea of what you want your
kitchen to look like. Save magazine and other photos of styles and colors that
appeal to you and show them to me on your initial consultation. Think about
how you use your kitchen on a daily basis and any special features you may want
to add. Then I can come up with a floor plan that is best for you.

I am planning on renting a Motor Home this summer for our family vacation. The person at the
company we are planning on renting the Motor Home from said that our Personal Auto Policy that

INSURANCE
policies used by an insurance company in the state of Michigan will not provide proper coverage for a
rented Motor Home. The best advice I can give is to purchase the insurance coverage available through
the rental company or contact your agent to check whether or not coverage is provided for a rented
Motor Home. In most cases coverage for this exposure is not available to be added to a personal auto
policy. This answer also applies to rented U-Haul moving trucks, commercial vehicles and most if not all
other recreational type vehicles, including but not limited to 4 wheelers, snowmobiles, power boats,
personal watercraft (Jet-Skis), 3 wheelers and motorcycles. Its always best to talk to your agent before
renting any type of motorized vehicle or equipment.

The Clarkston Village Players production of Hamlet II finished its run a

It was an awesome experience. It turns
out, however, in addition to gaining new

new ways to get over stage fright, I

I need to get a bigger part next time.
As Doctor Granett
says next door, there is
no magic pill to losing
weight.
I have been relying
on exercise, mostly running, to get the pounds
off, in addition to eating
less and drinking more
water.
Summer brings warm, sunny weather,
which is great for getting outside and
running. I dont have a treadmill nor gym
membership, so outside is it, no matter
the weather.
But the sunny season also has a huge
challenge in the form of my annual vacation, which in recent years meant going
to Alabama to visit family.
My brother likes to barbecue and hes
really good at it. He doesnt grill hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, or chicken. He
cooks up all of that at the same time. And
the folks are all mostly in good shape
down there. I dont know how they do it.
The way Ill do it is increasing my run
schedule from three times a week to daily.
Ill have to watch out for ticks, though. I
found one of those suckers on my arm
after a brief trip down there last month
for one of my nieces high school graduation.
I credit Trevor Keisers article Look
out for ticks for that. I got the thing off
pretty quickly, hopefully within the 36-48
hours before any Lyme disease bacterium
present could be transmitted.
I posted a picture of it on my Facebook
page, if anyone is interested in seeing it.
All that is to get back into shape, specifically military shape, by July 4.
Ive been wearing my old Army uniform the past couple years for the annual
veterans celebration in Clintonwood
park after the Fourth of July parade.
Fireworks are scheduled for launch
from within the park this year. The last
few, they were launched from the Everest
Academy property across the street.
The location should make for good
photos of kids lit up by fireworks explosions a bit closer than before.
Lose weight for summer

Many of us have tried the latest weight
loss fads over the years to help remove those
excess pounds.
Buying special food packages, restricting
calories and even taking a magical pill. There
is no magic pill when a person makes the
decision to embark on a pathway toward
weight management as well as optimization
of Health and Wellness.
However, there are three
essential nutrients which
help the body in conjunction with exercise as well as
a healthy diet significantly
reduce unwanted body fat.
Guarcinia, chlorogenic acid
and the seven strain
probiotic, when used together, may help the body
reach weight management By Frank J.
Granett R.ph.
goals.
Guarcinia is a tamarind
Indonesian fruit containing hydroxycitric acid
(HCA) which is an essential fat blocking nutritional compound.
The body uses enzymes, converting unused glucose to fat. HCA in guarcinia blocks
the enzymes preventing formation of fat. As
the body breaks down fat cells through increased metabolism, HCA may also increase
serotonin in the brain which increases energy and reduces appetite.
Many manufacturers market oral tablet and
capsule formulations, however a transdermal
patch provides the most bioavailable form of
guarcinia.
Chlorogenic acids originate in highest
concentrations from the green bean coffee
extract as well as lower concentrations in regular roasted coffee.
Their daily consumption helps the liver
optimize bile secretion and increase the metabolism of fatty acids. Furthermore, chlorogenic acids in nutritional supplement form
rather than coffee is a healthier option.

In a study by Harvard University, over
80,000 women were assessed on the effects
of chlorogenic acid and the reduction of gallstone formation which affects women twice
that of men.
Researchers concluded that incidence of
gallbladder surgery decreased in women consuming chlorogenic acid compared to the
non-supplemented women.
The seven strain nutritional probiotic
formulation including: B lactis, L acidophilus, L casei, L helviticus, L salvarius, L
plantarum and L rhamnosus provides the
stomach with the ability to fight excessive
growth of yeast.
If the body does not minimize the growth
of yeast, then the absorption of nutrients
from the diet may become significantly diminished and negatively affect energy level
as well as mental clarity.
Other considerations for optimizing weight
management include: 3 to 4 times a week
cardio exercise; 40 ounces purified water;
Increase yeast free, gluten free and GMO free
diet; Increase consumption of organic broccoli and radishes as these vegetables contain isothionates which help eliminate yeast
growth in the G.I. tract; and One teaspoon
daily of raw apple cider vinegar.

Facebook at Frank Granett R.ph. to learn
where you can find all three essential
nutritionals and help your body optimize
weight management before summer. Frank

Spending issues with bridge, garage plan

regarding a FOIA request for

communications between city attorney
Thomas Ryan and city engineers in June
2015. The lawsuit is the second time the city
has had to deal with FOIA issues, Johnston
said.
Richard Bisio, Susan's husband and a
former council member, filed suit in June 2015
charging City Councils closed meeting in
March 2015, about development of 148 N.
Main Street, was illegal. The case was settled
in a consent agreement, filed on March 14,
2016, in which the city admitted the charge.
"They publicly slandered a former council
member for pointing out these failings but
said nothing when they agreed that they had
acted illegally," Johnston said. "No
apologies and no new policy to avoid it in
the future. There are more court cases
pending, all costing us money, but you will

hear nothing from our elected
representatives."
Johnstons FOIA requests almost always
take at least 15 work days, he said.
About three weeks to get a response
and we have to pay the city a fee to find out
how they are spending our money," he said.
The Michigan Freedom of Information
law requires a response within five business
days. Municipalities are allowed to issue one
10-day extension, for which they must
provide a reason.
When issuing a 10-day extension for a
FOIA request for information regarding LED
lights, May 23, the city manager said it was
"in order to calculate the charge for this
request."

Cory Johnston and response from the city.

First a story, then a letter to a senator

This Jims Jottings first appeared on June
20, 2007.
I have two reasons to believe this story is
acceptable for a community newspaper. First,
it was told to me in the Flint Elks Club mens
room, and second, my daughter said it was
ok.
An Irishman has been doctoring for some
time, and this was the day he was to get the
diagnosis. He asked his son to drive him to
the doctor.
The doctor asked his patient to sit down
while he read the report. The MD said, You
have terminal cancer, and you have maybe
six months to live.
The Irishman goes out to the car, tells his
son the results, then asks, Would you drive
me to the pub, I wanna tell my buddies?
Inside the pub the Irishman announces, I
have AIDS and theyve given me six months
to live. They have a few pints, then our man

returns to the car. The son says, You have
cancer, why did you tell them you have
AIDS?
Jims
He said, I dont want
them messn around with
Jottings
me wife after Im gone!
- - - 0 - - I was asked to pass
along the following letter
from a man in Maryland.
Since the letter reflects my
feelings, Im passing:
Dear Senator Sarbanes,
As a native Marylander
and
excellent customer of
a column by
the
Internal
Revenue SerJim Sherman
vice, I am writing to ask for
your assistance. I have contacted the Dept. of Homeland Security in an
effort to determine the process of becoming

an illegal alien and they referred me to you.
My primary reason for wishing to change
my status from U. S. Citizen to illegal alien
stems from the bill you voted for.
It is my understanding the bill says as
an illegal alien who has been in the U.S.
for fivr years, all I need to do to become a
citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income
taxes for three of the last five years. Id like
to get in on that.
Simply put, those of us who have been
here legally have had to pay taxes every year,
so Im excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a
$2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply
to be illegal retroactively?
Additionally, as an illegal alien I could
begin using the local emergency room as my
primary health care provider. Once I have
stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.
Another benefit in gaining illegal status
would be that my daughter would receive
preferential treatment relative to her law
school applications, as well as in-state tuition rates for many colleges throughout the
U.S. for my son.
Lastly, I understand that illegal status
would relieve me of the burden of renewing
my drivers license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is
very important to me given that I still have
college age children driving my car.
If you would provide me with an outline
of the process to become illegal (retroactively
if possible) and copies of the necessary forms,
I would be most appreciative. Thank you for
your assistance.
A message to recent graduates: smile

I think by now most area students who are one of the
Class of 2016 have completed their graduation ceremonies. With pomp and circumstance you walked down the
aisle with robe and cap. You pushed your tassels from
right to left.
You have graduated. Yay! Woo-hoo and congratulations! As I told Number One son, Shamus, last year when
he graduated from high school, Now your real education starts.
Here are some thoughts for you to Dont
ponder, Class of 2016, as you enter a Rush Me
totally new reality -- the adult club.
Be Respectful
Up until now the world was pretty
much your oyster -- and it still is -- but
now you will have to start paying for it
yourself. Gone are the days of your parents paying for everything and making
the world revolve around you and only A column by
you. It is time to put on your big peoples Don Rush
pants and think about respect
Be respectful of your finances, understand the difference from your wants and your needs. Nobody told me
this when I was young, so I will give you a tip as was
told and calculated for me two years ago. It goes something like this: if you invest $15 a week starting at age
18, by the time you retire you will have a million dollars.
As early as you can talk to a retirement coach and get
a plan going.
Be respectful of your time, because after school things
go by pretty darned fast. Dont squander your time -- be
bold, explore, try new things (as a side note, I suggest
the new exciting things you try are both legally and ethically cool). You may find by trying new things you discover a new unimagined path that ignites your soul and
gives you a deeper appreciation for life.

Be respectful of your parents -- they have helped you
more than you know now. Thinking about it, you wont
truly know until you get to be their age. Learn from them.
In your life, repeat what they did correctly and change what
you feel they failed on. Nobody is prefect.
Be respectful of others time, circumstances and feelings. You are now a member of the world, soon you will be
a working member of society. It is no longer just about you
and what you want. Be kind and compassionate to balance
your passion.
Be empathetic
Have empathy for others as you would have them be
empathetic towards you. In other words, think about other
people before opening your mouth or acting out. For example . . .
When driving and somebody comes up behind you really fast and passes you, dont get all angry and indignant.
Stop and think . . . do you know what is going on in that
persons life? Maybe they just got word their daughter was
in an accident and they just need to get to the hospital fast.
When dealing with others and building relationships,
remember their lifes experiences have been different than
yours. By being kind and compassionate you work towards
being empathetic!
Have empathy for your parents, dangblabit! For 17 or
18 years they have tried to shield you from the world and
some of its harshness. They have tried to give you things
they didnt have. They may have spoiled you a little, too.
Now, as you enter adulthood and wish to stand on your
own, make your own decisions and do what you want -have empathy for your parents.
It is sometimes harder to cut the apron strings than you
think. They cannot just turn off trying to protect you. Give
them time and understanding as you spread your wings to
fly.
Be tolerant, civil and patient
Be tolerant of other cultures, beliefs and attitudes if
you want others to be tolerant of your beliefs and attitudes. Which leads me to . . .
. . . Be civil to others. Remember, you can always
agree to disagree on any issue. Just because you disagree with someone doesnt mean you have to dislike or
hate that someone. As a side note, who likes to be around
that guy who is always right and is willing to let you
know it?
Be patient. You will get to where youre going when
you get there. Please take the time to observe what is
happening around you. Be curious, ask questions, listen
. . . once in while just lay down on the grass and look up
at the clouds and be in the moment.
Be humble, have humility and laugh
While its okay to have a little swagger in your walk,
even if you are the best thing since sliced bread dont
look down your nose at others.
When you make a mistake, admit it to yourself and to
others as quickly as possible. Dont take yourself so seriously, learn to laugh at yourself instead of others and
soon people will be laughing with and want to be around
you.
Chill
Relax! Life is gonna be scary. Youre gonna make
mistakes. Its okay -- we all go through the same type of
issues. We learn. We live. We laugh and we love. Oh, I
just thought of this . . . dont just survive, live. Life is
wonderful! Even when it is hard and painful life is full
of gifts, you just have to always be looking for them.
Congrats and welcome to the club!

Bench work for buddies

Fourth grade students at Independence
Elementary School built a Buddy Bench for
their Academic Service Learning project.
"A Buddy Bench is a place where a student can go if they need someone to play
with at recess," said Dennis Klenow, third
and fourth grade teacher. "When other students see someone on the bench, they go
and invite them to play. It has been a huge
success to this point. Students are finding
someone to play with."
Fourth graders split into teams to com-
plete the task: build team was in charge of

construction; design team to plan artwork
for the bench as well as painting; education
team visited each class at IE to instruct them
on proper use of the bench; school meeting
team created skits to share at a Friday all
school meeting; and technology team filmed,
took photos, and created a video and website
to share with the community about this
project.
"Each of our 68 fourth grade students
played a role in this project," the teacher said.

Wolves shut Dragons down

BY WENDI REARDON
Clarkston News Sports Writer
Senior Anthony Reiner made a bold statement prior to the Wolves semifinal district
game on Saturday at Oxford High School.
He said we are going to win, said Phil
Price, head coach for Clarkston Varsity Baseball.
That was the mindset through the whole
game, Reiner smiled, after the Wolves defeated foes Lake Orion, 1-0.
We stayed focused thoughout the
game, he added. We never thought we
were going to lose. We just kept playing hard
and knew what we had to do to win.
Clarkston scored on the top of the fifth
inning off a hit from Camden Hadley, bringing Joe Kuczmanski home. The Dragons
gave it a go to tie the game during the bottom of the inning but were quickly shut down
by Reiner and the Wolves defense.
During the bottom of the sixth inning, Lake
Orions three hitters didnt get a chance to
touch first base with Kuczmanski catching
two passes on first base and Hadley with a
catch in outfield.
The Wolves stepped up to the plate at
the top of the seven inning. James Sheffield
had a hit and was stopped with a catch by
Dragons defense.
Kuzmanski, Dylan Perry and Joe Halligan
all had hits and loaded the bases. Before
they could score Lake Orion ended their
chances with two outs.

Orion in the MHSAA
District Semifinal last

Clarkston repaid the favor by closing the

game with only one batter from Lake Orion
getting onto the base while the others were
denied with Halligan catching a flyball,
Kuzmanski catching a throw at first and
Reiner with a strikeout.
It was also little things, said Price.
Dylan getting a bunt down. Camden coming
in with a big hit. Those are things that win
the game. We executed, we played good
defense, we are pitcher dominated and got a
timely hit.
Reiner threw a two-hit shutout for the
Wolves during the semifinal game.
Anthony was the man today, Price said.
We stayed on track and got the win,
said Reiner. Lake Orion is a good team and
good competition. It was fun.
The Wolves finished the season with a
loss to Rochester Adams in the finals, 6-4.
They started out with a 3-0 lead on the
Highlanders with brothers Jack and Joe
Kuczmanski bringing in runs.
Rochester Adams raised their side of the
score with their own three runs to bring the
game to a tie.
Wolf Noah Nicklin brought the Wolves
back into the lead during the bottom of the
fourth with one run off his hit.
But the Highlanders scored three more
runs in the fifth and sixth innings to end the
game with the win and championship.
The Wolves finish the season with an
overall 22-17 record.

few national races he is competing in
Indianpolis, Ind. and Pocono.
"Both are letting the .25 midgets take a
lap on their international speedways with
.25 midget races in their parking lots," he
added. "It is very competitive at the
national level."
Forrester began racing when he was
11-years-old when he found out about the
track.
"Race track families are part of our
family now and has been a wonderful thing
for our whole family," added Heather
Forrester, Hunter's mother.
"Racing has been a great thing for
Hunter and his father, too, to bring them
together as a team," she said. "Dad is the
pit crew and Hunter the driver. They have
to learn to communicate to get the car set
up right at the races and in between. One
cant work without the other."
The next Midwest Thunder race is June
17-19, held by Michigan Midget Racing
Association at Oakland Country
Sportsmen's Club.

Finishing the season strong

BY WENDI REARDON
Clarkston News Sports Writer
The Lady Wolves gave Lake Orion a fight
to the end during the MHSAA Girls Lacrosse
Regional Semifinals last Wednesday.
It wasn't enough as the Lady Dragons
won to move onto the finals, 16-12.
"We came out a little weak in the
beginning," admitted Leeanne Stickle, head
coach. "Then, we really turned around and
gave them more of a fight than at the
beginning. They worked really hard towards
the end."
The Dragons took control of the game by
scoring two quick goals in the first minute of
the game.
Elizabeth Oda scored the first goal for
Clarkston after the Lady Wolves won control
of a ground ball and held possession in Lake
Orion's territory with 17:10 on the clock.
Three minutes later Jillian Kurolvech
struck off a pass from Rebecca Stiles to put
the score 7-2 with Lake Orion leading.
The Lady Wolves finished the first half
six points behind the Dragons, 11-5.
They came into the second half with a
fighting spirit scoring the first two goals from
Stiles and Kurolvech, closing the gap to four.
They scored three more time in the last nine
minutes to finish with the 16-12 loss.
"Both teams worked hard," said Stickle.
"We had a lot of chances to get shots off
of it and have possession but we rushed
it a lot. We got excited with the nerves."
Kurolvech led the team with four goals
and one assist. Oda scored three goals as
Jenna Sommerville and Melanie Alnaraie
scored two goals a piece. Stiles had one goal
and three assists and Sabrina Parks had one

goal.
Stickle added the run in playoffs will help
returners coming back next season.
"We went further than we did last year,"
she explained. "It makes them realize we can
get to this point if we work hard. When you
play in playoffs you play hard teams. You
have to come on strong even if we beat this
team before. Sometimes its hard to be the
one who won last time. Sometimes its easier
to be the underdog because you come in
with a different mindset."
The Lady Wolves finished 8-4 for the
season while venging losses from last
season.
"We have definitely improved from last
year," Stickle smiled. "The girls worked really
well together despite age different. We saw
the girls individually improve a lot. We had
only four losses. It was definitely a huge
improvement a lot more working as a team
instead of working one on one going for the
goal."
The Lady Wolves lost four players to
graduation - Jillian Kurolvech, Marisa
Jacobs, Sabrina Parks and Rebecca Stiles.
"They started out really early and they
have always been the leaders to the younger
classmen came up," said Stickle. "Them
leaving is going in encourage the younger
girls to step up a little bit and take their place.
The seniors definitely were leaders on the
team especially underclassmen and the
freshmen who didnt know what it was like
to be on a varsity team. They shared their
insight and they taught the girls a lot for the
years to come."

The Lady Wolves hosted Everest Collegiate Academy as each prepared for the
MHSAA Girls Tennis Regional Championship.
During the scrimmage on May 13, both

little.
Carly Sutkiewcz qualified for the state
championship for Everest as she finished in

second place on the No. 1 Singles court in
Division 4.
She went 1-1 in the state championship as

Thank You Clarkston!

2015
We at the Hilltop Brewery and Spirits would like to thank our neighbors on Dixie Highway and the surrounding Clarkston/Waterford community for
putting up with our long construction period that seemed to last forever - now that the work is nearing completion we are excited to finally announce
that we are ALMOST ready to open - look for us to swing open the doors in June (no later than July timeframe).
Charlie Haig is fascinated by the
American flag wherever he finds
them. Photo provided
We also wanted to thank all the many contractors/suppliers who have helped us build our vision of a craft brewery and restaurant - we have tried to
hire as many local contractors from the Clarkston/Waterford area as possible and we are very pleased with the work of these world class craftsman.!!!
Flag fan
Two-year-old Charlie Haig loves the Star
Spangled Banner.
When taking him into a church or public
meeting place that usually has the American
flag standing in a pole in the room, it isn't
easy keeping him in the chair, said Pam Ruth
of Clarkston, his grandmother. But we are
trying to train him to stay put yet keep the
interest.
On the walk to and from the Clarkston Memorial Day parade last Monday, he called out
flag at each American flag planted in the
ground along the way, Ruth said.
His father is Andrew Haig, and his mother
is Angela Ruth Haig, who grew up in
Clarkston. His father was raised in Cobham,
Kent, England.

Grads display many achievements

The end of the school year brings
countless opportunities for our community
to celebrate the amazing accomplishments
of our young people.
It is also a chance for us collectively to
pause and share gratitude for all of those in
our community who contribute to these
accomplishments.
This years senior class Words from
represents an awe inspiring the Sup't
display of achievements.
Our Team RUSH Robotics,
Future Problem Solvers
(two teams), Video
Production Team, and
Chamber Orchestra each
achieved
state
championships.
Evan Scott and Jillian
Ritchie placed first in the Dr. Rod Rock
state
in
Business
Professionals of America competitions, and
Jillian is a national champion.
Our 685 seniors achieved over $5 million
in college scholarships for their hard work,
achievements, and contributions. Our senior
graduates will attend colleges in 16 states.
At least two will take gap yearsone to
Europe and the other hiking the Appalachian
Trail with her father. One student will attend
the Air Force Academy and many others will

enter the military directly after high school.
Four students, Jillian Ritchey, Diana
Marsala, Erin McNeil, and Ethan Ames, are
National Merit Scholar Finalists.
Two students, Lawrence Zahner and
Jillian Ritchey, are Presidential Scholar
nominees with Jillian advancing as a
Semifinalist and receiving a nomination for
Scholar as Career and Technical Education
Candidate.
Advanced Studies, International
Baccalaureate, CSMTech, Career and
Technical Education, and dual enrollment
efforts afforded many of our students college
credit in high school.
More than 90 percent of our graduates
will attend college.
In Career and Technical Education,
Clarkston is a state leader, outpacing most
other school districts with 133 Professional
Certifications.
In Oakland County, 130 percent more of
Clarkstons students participate in Career
and Technical Education than any other
district, even those that are twice our size.
We know that perseverance, character,
and mindset represent critical skills for goal
achievement in school and in life.
Many of our students have overcome
personal health and life struggles as they

have achieved in school.
As I observe our students, I am truly in
awe of all that they have accomplished.
I have seen them doing homework at the
back of the auditorium during siblings
concerts; kicking long field-goals in the
summer; studying at awards ceremonies;
participating in countless clubs and athletic
teams; and competing on weekends as
gymnasts, computer programmers,
engineers, and dancers.
I have heard their stories of tutoring
younger kids, contributing to the lives of
students in other communities, and
appreciating the opportunities they have had
here in our town.
Mostly, I have heard of the differences
made in their lives by teachers, coaches,
classmates, parents, and countless
community members who believed in
them.
It truly takes a village to raise a child. The
City of the Village of Clarkston,
Independence Township, and Springfield
Township should feel very good about the
children we are raising.
Congratulations and thank you.

MEMORIAL DAY
Have you ever visited the Great
Lakes National Cemetery in Holly
Township? Just off I-75 at exit 106,
you pull into the main entrance and visually you are stunned driving along the
Avenue of Flags and
with the thousands of
perfectly aligned headstones of those who
have served our county
so proudly. Attended
the memorial services
at Great Lakes National Cemetery on Sunday, May 29.
Township
There were thouSupervisor
sands
of folks in attenPat Kittle
dance paying their respects to lost loved ones and attending
the special services honoring all veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice. With my son being buried in Great
Lakes, the wave of emotion hit me like
a ton of bricks during the service. God
bless America and for all those who
serve our great country.
SAFETY PATHS
Clintonville: Putting plans together
for the Safety Path along Clintonville
between Maybee and Waldon Roads.
Step One was having the Road Commission clean up the drain culverts on
the east side of the road - done.
Step Two will be to get our engineering consultant, HRC, to conduct an en-
gineering study to lay out plans and costs

within the next 45 days.
Step Three is to secure easements and
Step Four actually build the safety path
and get the pedestrians off the shoulder
of the road. Timing - cant happen soon
enough.
North Sashabaw: The County Parks
Commission and the Township Board
unanimously approved the cooperative
effort between the Township and the
Oakland County Parks to build a safety
path along the west side of Sashabaw
between the North and South entrances
to Independence Oaks Park.
This connection will essentially link all
of Sashabaw from Brandon Township all
the way to the Village. Next step for this
project is the final approval from the Oakland County Board of Commissioners.
Was hoping to get the ball rolling this year.
Looks like construction wont start until
2017.
Main Street: Have the construction
plans for the final patch of Safety Path
along M-15 linking the Village to the
Township by Brionis. Meeting this week
with the Village, Township, Safety Path
Committee and MDOT to review options,
costs and timing. Keep you posted.
Pedestrian Bridge: The grant application for the pedestrian bridge and
safety path linking Waldon Road from
Sashabaw to Clintonville has been delivered to the State. May 31 was the last
day for the State to address questions
with the parties submitting applications
for funding.
Good news, no questions or issues to

date. The State Grant Board will meet

on June 13 to review all grant applications. This review process is supposed
to be completed and results announced
by July 18. Funding sources for the
Township contribution have been identified. Just waiting to hear the results of
the States evaluation process.
CONTAMINATED WELLS
Met with Maple Drive residents on
Thursday June 2 at Township Hall to nail
down final plans for a new water main.
The State approved $426,000 for the installation of new water main along all of
Maple Drive. Under this plan, the eight
residents with contaminated wells will be
connected to the Township water system at no cost. The 18 residents who
live along Maple with no trace of the
petroleum contaminants in their well
water will have to pay a nominal charge
estimated at $3,500 to connect to Township water.
BRADY LODGE
Getting things done in the public sector seems to take forever sometimes.
The Township will be issuing a contract
to begin ripping out the old electrical system at Brady Lodge soon. Next step is
the new wiring, interior painting, security
system, and new windows and doors.
Hopefully this phase will be done by the
fall.
CONTINUING EDUCATION

Assessing seminar in Lansing just before
For many years, taxpayers have received summer

and winter tax bills that included color highlights. We
used a different color for each tax season to assist in
making sure the summer and winter tax bills werent
posted into the wrong drawer.
The good news is that automation of our processes
the Memorial Holiday. While just an

introductory course, the sheer volume
and complexity of the information covered gave me a newfound appreciation
for what happens in the Assessing Department. Was asked why would I sign
up for a two day seminar. Its tough to
ask your employees to take classes and
seminars to stay current in their respective disciplines without being willing to
do the same yourself. The really good
news, it looks like our Assessing Team
members have advanced to the point
where they could have taught the seminar. Hated going to college and graduate school. Going to Assessing school
was not much better, but I sure am glad
I did it. Learned a lot.
2017 BUDGETS
Its that time of year again. Time to
begin to put budgets together for 2017,
2018 and 2019. The Township is going
to take a very conservative approach
to revenue projections, as we believe
another Headlee millage rollback adjustment is coming in 2017. That is, the
projected rate of inflation is going to be
lower than the increase in assessed
property values, resulting in a mandatory millage rate rollback. In 2016, the
Townships tax revenue was reduced
by close to $150,000 due to this rollback.
We estimate 2017 revenue impacts will
be similar.
With smart budgeting and cost controls, this reduction in tax revenue will
not have a negative impact on services
provided to our residents.
now allows us to post the summer and winter bills

together. This means the colors are not needed and
that will save us money in printing the bills.
Another change will be a more detailed explanation of each tax line. In the past, abbreviations were

Did You Buy a Home Last Year?

By Stacey Bassi,
Director of Assessing
Shortly, you will be receiving your
summer tax bill. If you purchased a
home last year, there are laws in the
State of Michigan that can affect your
property taxes and potentially your escrow account.
In the year following your purchase,
the taxable value of your home becomes, what we call uncapped or
pops-up, becoming
the same value as the
assessed value of the
property. The taxable
value of the property
is the number used to
calculate your taxes
along with the millage
rates.
When you are told
Stacey Bassi,
what
the seller had
Director of
paid
in
taxes for the
Assessing
property, it is very
likely not what you are going to be paying. This can affect your escrow account the mortgage company sets up.
A common practice is to use the taxes
the previous owners were paying to determine the amount you will need to
place monthly into the escrow account
to cover your taxes and insurance.
As an example of property in Independence Township, if the previous
owner has an assessed value of 177,800
and a taxable value of 119,890, they pay
an estimated $3,829 in property taxes a
year, if they qualified for a Principal
Residence Exemption (PRE) that year.

The year following your purchase, the
assessed and taxable value becomes one
in the same. The taxable value will increase from the 119,890 to what the next
years assessed value is set at. For this
example, the assessed value increased
to 180,000. This value is also your new
taxable value.
The taxes generated from the new
taxable value would be estimated at
$5,749, an increase of $1,920. These
changes can have a significant impact
on your escrow account. When the mortgage company originally set-up your escrow account, they collected $319 a
month to cover the taxes, but the change

used. For example, The State Education Tax was displayed
as SET with no addition information. This
year, the line will read
State Educ. Tax. We
are limited by our software to 16 characters
but we think we can
greatly improve on the
prior abbreviations.
Paul Brown,
In addition, if you
Township
have an escrow acTreasurer
count paying your
taxes, youll see a large watermark on

the bills this year that will say informational only, mortgage company to
pay.
Believe it or not, we have dozens of
taxpayers each year who pay their
taxes, even though they have an escrow account. We think this new watermark will cut down on duplicate payments that actually take a significant
amount of work to get refunded.
As always, well continue to look
for was to improve processes and reduce costs.
in taxes indicates $479 a month is

needed. This is a difference of $160 a
month and now your escrow account
is short. What mortgage companies
normally do at this time is either ask
you to make the account whole, or adjust your escrow account to cover the
taxes and the shortage. This could increase your payment about $300 a
month.
If you bought a home last year,
make sure to review your tax bill closely
to see if there is a significant increase
from what you were told the taxes were
on your home. If so, contact your
mortgage company immediately to see
how they will handle the shortage.
Ask The Inspector?

By Scott Lenhart,
Assistant Building
Official/Building Inspector
I am planning a remodel of my
home. Why should I get a building
permit? This is a question many people
ask themselves when
planning alterations to
their home. A decision
not to get a permit
could be very costly.
Some homeowners are
finding when they try
to sell or refinance
their home, prospective
buyers or lending institutions want proof that Scott Lenhart
alterations are in compliance with both State and local
codes. Without proper permits and final approved inspections on record,
there is no proof the work completed
is compliant with current code. The
homeowner must then apply for a permit with no guarantee that the remodel
will meet current codes and they face
the possibility that the remodel must
be redone or removed entirely. This is
costly, frustrating and could quite possibly cause delays in refinancing or
even the lost sale of their home.
Do I have to be a Licensed Contractor to do work on my own home?
The short answer is no. A homeowner,
(who both owns and occupies the
house) may do any or all of the following work without being a Licensed
Contractor: Building, Plumbing, Mechanical {heating and air conditioning}
and Electrical. If you are not sure of
your abilities to do any or all of the
work, it is recommended that you hire
a State licensed professional. The
base question to ask yourself before
you start a project is, Am I 100%
confident in my ability to do the work
to the current building & fire codes
so as not to put my familys safety at
risk?
Are
permits
required?
The short answer is yesits the law.
This answer comes directly from section R105.1 of the 2015 Michigan Residential Code. Any owner or owners authorized
agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair,
move, demolish or change the occupancy of a building or structure,or to erect,install,enlarge,alter, repair,
remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is
regulated by this code, or to cause any such work to be
performed, shall first make application to the Building
Official and obtain the required permit.
Sign up for email tax notifications to avoid being late

By Paul Brown,
Treasurer
Each year, I have the difficult task
of explaining to taxpayers that interest and penalties for delinquent tax
payments cannot be waived. Ive
heard more reasons for the payments
being late then I can possibly list, but
here are a few:
I never got the tax bill.
State law specifically addresses
this by stating that failure to send or
receive the tax notice does not prejudice the right to collect or enforce the
payment of taxes. If you own a
home, paying the taxes twice per year
is something you must remember to
do the same way you file your income
tax returns each year.
I mailed my tax payment and you

didnt get it.
Each year, we have a dozen or more
tax payers whose checks are lost in the
mail. We cannot waive penalties or interest for lost checks.
My payment was postmarked by the
due date.
Postmarks have not been accepted in
the past. I will be bringing a request to
the Township Board to accept post marks
as timely, so long as we receive the payment within four business days of the due
date.
Over the past three years, the
Treasurers Office has automated many
of our processes, as a way to make it
easier for our residents to pay their property taxes. For the past year, Ive been
trying to get our software vendor to modify
our system so that email
notifications could be
sent to residents at key
points during the collection timeline.
In a perfect world,
we would send an email
reminder a week before
Paul Brown,
the due date for everyTownship
one with unpaid tax bills.
Treasurer
Once they are late, wed
send another reminder indicating the penalty and interest amounts and the next
deadline. Unfortunately, the software
vendor has not grasped the opportunity
quite as quickly as Id like. I do believe
News from the Clerk

By Barbara A. Pallotta, CMC
Clerk
The Clerks Office has been working diligently in
anticipation of the August 2 State Primary and the November 8 General Elections. The 2016 elections is
expected to have significant voter turnout.
Did you know the March 2016
Presidential Primary was record
setting? There were 2,565,373
Michigan voters who cast ballots on
March 8, which set a new record
for turnout in a Presidential Primary
in our state. It broke the old record
set in 1972 by more than 600,000
votes. It also surpassed 2012s turnout by more than 1.3 million. It is
Township Clerk interesting to note that many voters
that came out to vote that day hadnt
Barb Pallotta
voted in an election in years.
With the increased interest in this years elections,
it is anticipated that the August and November elections will be extremely busy. Some of the most common issues that occur on Election Day are:
Residents not registered to vote, or are registered in another community or precinct
Voters showing up at the wrong precinct location
Voters who do not have proper photo identification
There are several things voters can do to help minimize these common issues and ensure a positive voting experience. Do you know where to vote? Have
you moved recently or are you registered in In-
dependence Township? Please contact the Clerks

Office at 248-625-5113 to verify your registration and
voting location .
Important Voter Registration Dates
In order to be eligible to vote in the August 2 State
Primary, a voter must be registered in the community
in which they permanently reside by Tuesday, July 5.
The voter registration deadline for the November General Election is Tuesday, October 11. Residents may
register to vote at the Township Clerks Office or at
any Secretary of States Office.
Absent Voter Ballots

Permanent Absentee Voters were mailed out their
Application for Absent Voter Ballot at the end of May.
If you have not received your application, please contact the Clerks office at 248-625-5113 to have another
mailed to you or print an application from the
Townships website, indtwp.com. Complete, sign and
return the application to the Township Clerks office.
Note: The initial mailing of Absent Voter ballots will be
mailed out on June 21 to those voters that have returned their applications before that date.
they will eventually get this done, but

in the meantime, I want to try something else to help residents avoid interest and penalties.
To that end, my office will begin collecting email addresses from taxpayers who would like to receive notifications regarding tax bill due dates.
If you would like to receive property tax notifications, please email
treasurer@indtwp.com and put Tax
Notification Request in the subject
line. The email addresses will only be
used to send notifications from the
Treasurers Office regarding tax bills.
Great ideas can come from anyone.
If you have suggestions to help us improve the process, please give me a
call at 248-625-5115.
Fireworks
Update
The 4th of July is right around the corner.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that
the Township will NOT be launching the annual
fireworks show from Everest Academy this
year.
We had a couple of close calls with neighboring homes and flying ashes.
The decision was made to return the actual
fireworks launch site back to Clintonwood Park.
We understand this will negatively impact the
ability of some local neighborhoods to view the
fireworks from their backyard.
So make sure you get to Clintonwood early,
enjoy all the festivities and food that will be available and reserve your seat for what will be a
great 4th of July Festival for all.

About two years ago, Ilene Schietaert of
Independence Township made a promise to
her next door neighbor Don Stringer just
before he moved to Florida.
"I told him when he turned 100, I would
throw him a party. His eyes lit up," Schietaert
said. "So here we are two years later, and the
chief honoree is turning 100."
"I've never met anyone over 100," said
Frank Schietaert, Ilenes husband.
Friends and family are invited to Ilene and
Franks home for a party. Theyll play big
band music, Dons favorite, and will have a
scrapbook on hand filled with pictures and
mementos, and smoked pork to eat.
"I think its wonderful," said Stringers
sister, Helen Finkbeiner, of Waterford. "We
talked about it a lot."
"Hes a kind, gentle soul," said neighbor
Marti Newsted.
They hope to have letters of
acknowledgment from Gov. Rick Snyder and
state Rep. Jim Tedder, and a letter from
President Barack Obama is also in the works.
"It takes six-to-eight weeks," Frank said.
They have decades of memories to share
of Don and his late wife, Elnora.
"They were a cute couple, out on the lake
in their paddle boat," Frank said.
"She'd be out there with her big old
bonnet," said Ilene, who also remembers one
time when there was 10 inches of snow and
Frank was away on business.
"Our buddy next door was out there
driving his Kubota (lawn tractor), all bundled
up. You could only see his eyes," she said.
"He would clear our driveway. Thats the
kind of neighbor he was, so considerate."
Don built a red shed designed to look like
a covered bridge, decorated with a wood
square-dancer silhouette.
"They enjoyed square dancing, and he
loved covered bridges," Ilene said. "He
loved to play the organ. We had a cat he
would sit on his windowsill and listen to him
play the organ."

Secondhand Goods, Chapter 38, ordinance

to include the LeadsOnline database.
In law enforcement the most intrusive
crimes are home invasions. Jewelry, watches,
heirlooms, computers and electronics are
quick cash items where people can take them
to the pawn shops, get quick cash for them
and theyre out the door, said
Independences Oakland County Sheriff
Substation Commander Lt. Dirk Feneley.
The ordinance requires dealers of
precious gems people to put photographs
and infomation online, he said.
So my detectives anyplace in the county
can look at it and see if the items are stolen,
Feneley added.
There are currently no pawn shops in
Independence, but Feneley said he wanted
an ordinance ready for if one does pop up in
the township.
I am looking in the future because they
are popping up all over, he said. I just want
to put some guidance in for when they do
want to come into the township.
As a former business owner, Trustee Ron
Ritchie said typically hes not in favor of
adding an extra burden on small businesses,
but since being on the township board his
thought process has changed when it comes
to ordinances.
Creating ordinances is really a
methodology of helping businesses and
residents operate in a certain way that makes
it efficient for everybody to live, work and
play in the township, Ritchie explained.
If a business comes in were
specifying this methodology of how we
want them to operate. Its already a law
and something that was there. Were just
more defining the methodology of how we
want them to operate. From that fact I am
in favor of this.
Feneley noted the LeadsOnline program
is fully endorsed by Oakland County Sheriff
Mike Bouchard.
There is a $25,000 fee to get on to
LeadsOnline that he pays so that every
detective in Oakland County has access to
it, he said. LeadsOnline is nationwide so if
the property is pawned in Kentucky, we
know about it.
LeadsOnline not only gives access to
transactions made through pawn shops or
precious metal and gem shops, but eBay
transactions as well.
Lets say your iPad gets stolen, we can
type the (serial) number in and find your
iPad, said Harvey. There are millions of
transactions reported everyday to
LeadsOnline, 863 million.
Harvey said its the best tool theyve ever
had for looking for stolen items.
Some of the major law enforcement in
the country including not just us but
Waterford, and now Flint also subscribes to
LeadsOnline, which is huge, because a lot
of our goods are going directly up to Flint,

she said.
Trustee David Lohmeier asked if Craigs
List fell under the radar of LeadsOnline,
Harvey answered it did.
Usually people stealing things,
sometimes go on Craigs List, but usually
its somebody whos addicted to drugs and
theyre going straight to where they can get
quick cash, she said. They dont want to
wait a month.
Harvey said businesses that have started
using LeadsOnline are happy with the
product and think its made it easier for them
because its eliminated a lot of extra work.
They dont have to get stamps and write
out forms and find out what police
department it goes to, she said. It goes
directly to LeadsOnline and then its right
there and they dont have to deal with it.
Harvey said LeadsOnline also allows
several search features, including searching
by the type of items such as an LG cell phone
or by the serial number of the product or
even by a persons name.
For example, Harvey said if they knew of
a prisoner who was recently released and
had a history of breaking and entering, they
could put that person down as a person of
interest. If anything popped up with their
name, they would know about it.
Lohmeier asked who has access to the
database. Harvey answered only law
enforcement has the ability to search the
database, but both businesses and private
citizens have the ability to log in their
expensive ticket items, such as cell phones,
televisions, iPads, laptops, etc.
Treasurer Paul Brown asked if
LeadsOnline had driven up the incarceration
rate for theft or convictions of theft.
Weve noticed a downturn of burglaries
over the past couple of years since weve
been better about being able to locate,
Harvey replied.
Given that we have so many more
thousand residential than businesses I think
this is a really great thing for the residents
without much impact on the business, Brown
added.
Lohmeier admitted he was nervous when
he first looked at the ordinance change
because he didnt want to further burden
businesses with having to do more work, but
said Harveys presentation converted him
over.
Trustee Jose Aliaga was very thankful to
both Feneley and Township Attorney Peter
Keenan of Karlstrom, Cooney LLC for being
proactive in bringing the ordinance change
to the board.
I support the sheriff department and I
know the board does, too. I like to see were
giving more legal weapons to our law
enforcement to enforce the law and reduce
this type of crime, Aliaga said. This is going
to be good for our community.

Death notices &
Clarence E.
Johns, 91
Mary Ann
Locher, 86
Clarence Edward Johns, was

born in 1925 in Cuyahoga Falls,
Ohio. He was the third youngest of
nine children that lived in a tworoom house with no indoor
plumbing.
Clarence
(Clancy) had
to share pairs
of shoes with
one of his
brothers in his
early life. He
had dreams of
becoming a
professional
baseball player, but joined the
Marines in 1942, at the age of 17
and went on to fight for his country
with the Third Marine Division in
battles for Guadalcanal and Iwo
Jima.
After the war ended, Clancy
used the GI Bill to put himself
through college with a degree in
Civil Engineering from Ohio State
University, and even get a pilots
license while he was at it.
He got a job with Northrup in
California, but after working for the
government contractor for a few
years, he returned to the Midwest
and started Industrial Building
Panels (IBP) in Troy, Michigan. He
continued with that commercial
business until the day he passed
away.
Clancy married Clarkston native
Patricia Kathryn Tisch in 1958 and
they had two children, Patrick and
Ann, who still live in the area.
Clancy was beloved by many for
his generosity and friendliness. He
is survived by his two children, Ann
Johns Gregg and Patrick Edward

A Vendor and Craft Event, hosted by Carrie Sieck, will have many items for sale and raffle to
raise funds to fight PSP. Photo by Phil Custodio
Crafter event for PSP cure

BY PHIL CUSTODIO
Carrie Sieck of Clarkston hosts the Cure PSP Vendor and Craft Event, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday, June
18, at the First Missionary Church, 4832 Clintonville
Road.
The fundraiser is in honor of her grandfather, Philip
J. Knapp, who passed away on Feb. 10, 2016, from Progressive Supernuclear Palsy (PSP), a rare brain disease.
My grandfather was 75 years old when he passed
away, Sieck said.
The event will include more than 60 vendors and
crafters. There will also be a DJ, food trucks, face
painter, balloon twister, 50/50 raffle, and a silent raffle.
All proceeds will be donated to CurePSP.
Additionally, I will be donating $2 from each of my
Paparazzi sales to cure PSP, she said. Many of the
other vendors have donated items to help raise money
for the silent raffle. Many local businesses in the
Clarkston, Waterford and White Lake area have graciously donated certificates or items for the silent raffle
in support of this event and cause.
My hopes are to make this an annual event and
have it grow each year, she added.
Her grandfather started showing signs in 2010, but
wasnt diagnosed until 2012.
Nobody knew very much about PSP, his granddaughter said.
After almost two years, he was put on a waiting list

with the Mayo Clinic in Jackson, Florida. He was on
the list for nearly seven months before he was able to
see a doctor.
After several days of testing the doctors narrowed
down my grandfathers illness, Sieck said. The doctors advised he could be suffering from either
Parkinsons or PSP. Unfortunately, only after 48 hours
from receiving this news, the doctors confirmed that
my grandfather had PSP.
PSP wasnt heard of until 1964, and 4,000-5,000
people in the world have been diagnosed with it.
CurePSP
focuses
on
prime-of-life
neurodegenerative and fatal brain disorders.
Understanding the causes of and treatments for
neurodegenerative brain diseases is one of the great
healthcare imperatives of the 21st century, and
CurePSP is a pioneer in this effort, she said.
The nonprofit advocacy organization provides patients, caregivers, and families with access to a network of support, including face-to-face groups across
the country and Canada, as well as online groups.
CurePSP also funds research into PSP, which promises new pathways to research more prevalent
neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimers disease and Parkinsons disease, she said.

Working together to save lives.

Crittenton Hospital Medical Center is proud to partner with our
local EMS teams to care for our community. Working closely
with rst responders is just one of the reasons the Crittenton ER
leads the area with the shortest response times for heart attack
and stroke patients. We are nationally recognized as both an
accredited Chest Pain and Stroke Center, which means we
meet and exceed the national criteria to provide care in these
critical situations when minutes truly count.
Learn more at crittenton.com
Were leading in response time for non life-threatening needs,

too, with an average wait time of less than 5 minutes to see a
clinician once you arrive. Plus, were the only ER in the area to
offer online Advance Check-In, which allows patients to view
wait times and request a time to be seen in our ER.
Advanced care. Faster response times. Its all part of our plan
to make getting better, even better for our community.

boost to help
nab burglars
BY TREVOR KEISER
Oakland County deputies were on the trail
of a funeral bandit when he caught wind of
the investigation and took off for Colorado.
Detectives were able to follow a trail of
pawned stolen property all the way to the
Boulder State, thanks to the Leads Online
computer database.
We put an alert in, hey, if this guy comes
into your store, call the police, said
Detective Gennifer Harvey, assigned to
Independence Township. He went into a
store in Colorado pawning jewelry he had
stolen from another home invasion in
Waterford and boom, the police came in and
they arrested him. We were able to extradite
him back to Michigan.
Independence Township now has access
to the database, after unanimous approval
of the Township Board, May 24.

Principal retires
after 35 years
BY WENDI REARDON
Independence Elementary Principal Chris
Turner stood up with his family as students,
parents and teachers gave him a standing
ovation at an Ice Cream Social held in his
honor last Thursday.
"As I look around the room it's not about
me," he said to the crowd. "It's about us."
After 25 years as an elementary school
principal and 35 years working in education,
Turner will retire this year.
"Thank you to the entire school
community for your support with what we

City Freedom of Information requests slow for resident

BY PHIL CUSTODIO
After months of Freedom of Information
Act requests, city resident Cory Johnston
has compiled a list of almost $200,000 in
spending he finds questionable by the City
of the Village of Clarkston, but few
satisfactory answers.
"The citys decisions at all levels often
have little or no documented justification,"

Johnston said. "Council resolutions have
yet to be provided to the public in the
manner required by the City Charter."
Spending issues for Johnston include
$2,300 by the city manager for consultant
fees for a proposal to extend special-event
permit requirements to private property;
$6,000 for new LED street lights; $122,166
for the new Depot Park south bridge and

path; and $66,046 in design and consulting
fees since 2014 for a DPW garage and city
hall expansion
City Manager Carol Eberhardt said it will
take some time to respond to the list.
I have had back-to-back meetings all
day today and expect a Girl Scout troop
here in 15 minutes. I am also preparing for
over 100 children who are visiting City Hall

tomorrow, Eberhardt said in an email, Monday.
Also at issue are lawsuits against the
city, Johnston said.
Susan Bisio's lawsuit regarding a FOIA
request for information is pending. The
lawsuit was filed in December 2015
