By Cheryl PochHAPPY LABOR DAY!

Did you know that Labor Day started out as a Canadian holiday? It then was introduced to the U.S. by Peter J.

c uire an erican labor leader. he rst erican Labor Day was celebrated on September 5, 1882. What exactly is the meaning or purpose of Labor Day? “The purpose of Labor Day is to honor the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is set aside to honor the workin people and observed on the rst Monday in September. Why is Labor Day important? It is important because it honors the workers of America-devoted to all workers in the United States. So all you workers out there – celebrate and relax. Labor Day also reminds us that autumn is on its way and the end of summer is near. Oh, I don’t need that reminder – especially since after autumn comes winter! To change things up a bit now here are some thoughts taken from THE WEEK magazine, one of my favorite periodicals in the library. It talks about technology and asks “Is it making addicts of us all?” “The latest trend on the Internet is to step away from the Internet” so says Tracy McVeigh of the Observer (U.K.) With smart phones, tablets, and other digital

devices reshaping how people work, communicate, and spend their free time, scientists and psychologists are starting to question when our reliance on these devices is doing to our minds. (Really- I thought that years ago!) “Internet Disorder’ is listed in the appendix of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders? There is a growing concern that technology is taking over people’s lives. People are saying “Wow, what have we done?” Beware: We are already paying a steep price for our digital obsession. Research shows that constant use of these devices is actually rewiring the physical structure of people’s brains! The internet, in other words is “driving us mad.” So what to do? How about this suggestion by Nicholas Kristof in the New York Times...”It’s called NATURE. Go take a walk in the woods. Your devices will be waiting when you get back and you will be a bit saner when you rejoin the endless conversation.” Till next week: “Smile-it adds to your face value!”

Millville United Methodist Church holding Special Fall Festival Sept. 6 The Millville United Methodist Church would like to invite you to their Special Fall Festival that will be held on Saturday, September 6, from 4 to 7pm for all ages.

Fowlerville Varsity Soccer tea wi s two o rst t ree a es

y oac o arvis The Fowlerville varsity boys’ soccer team started their season in competitive fashion,. On Friday, August 22, the

lads hosted urand in their rst contest of the season. Fowlerville possessed the ball and kept control early, but a quick counter-attack by the Railroaders gave them a 1-0 lead. The boys continued to play well and kept their heads up which led to an unassisted goal from Ryan Gross to knot the score at 1 apiece at half-time. Gross struck again early in the second half on an assist from Riley Swails to give the Glads the lead 2-1. Later, Mitch Frederick put in an insurance goal on a well-played ball from Derek Lindig (assist), giving Fowlerville the 3-1 victory. Jacob Jarvis had a solid game in net, making 4 saves. Sat r ay st Fowlerville travelled to Williamston to play Lansing Waverly in the Crosstown Clash. The Glads dominated the game early and had several scoring opportunities, but could not capitalize until Alex Montrose took a Bailey Edwards (assist) pass and drove it into the back of the net. Ryan Gross quickly followed that up with an unassisted goal, making the score 2-0. Gross was on the other side of the ball when he slotted Jesse Bonnville, who beat the keeper to give the Glads a 3-0 half-time lead. The second half saw much of the same with Bonnville turning the tables and assisting Gross for his second goal of the contest. Montrose then capitalized on a keeper mistake and took the ball into the net to give Fowlerville a 5-0 lead. To round out the scoring, Michael Kotch found Kyle Gross (brother hat trick) on the far post to give Fowlerville the 6-0 win. Jacob Jarvis got the win in net, making 2 saves, assisted by Montrose getting some net time with 2 saves. Fowlerville s ere t eir rst e eat o t e seaso on Monday, August 25 at the hands of Lasing Everett. Although the beginning of the game saw some even play, Everett began to take control of the middle of the eld and had a few scoring chances, which Jacob Jarvis and the defense turned back. The Glads caught Everett off guard with a counter-attack when Alex Montrose took a Kyle Gross pass and put it side netting for the 1-0 half-time lead. Everett took control of the game in the second half with a barrage of shots that either went wide or Jarvis turned away. Unfortunately, they eventually capitalized, evening the contest at 1 apiece, then taking a 2-1 lead. Fowlerville fought hard and had a couple of chances from Ryan Gross and Montrose, the latter hitting the post. Everett nished off the scoring late in the game, giving them the 3-1 victory. Jarvis played well in net, making 9 saves. The Glads stand at 2-1 on the season.

Nature’s Mood Changes After the mid-point of August arrives there are perceptible changes.Already the shadows are longer on the northside of the house and the sun that’s responsible comes just a little later in the morning and departs just a bit earlier at night. High in the sky the air currents are beginning to compete

for control and the shorter days give the cool winds a slight advantage an advantage that makes the days of sti ing heat fewer and only able to hang on for shorter periods of time. The last young birds I know of, left their nest in a neighbors blue spruce last week and down on the river a family of Canadian geese, I’ve been watching, now seem as large as the adults. They are funny though, still swimming after their parents in that characteristic perfectly straight line, like soldiers following their leaders into battle. Several young rabbits that track the lawn’s morning dew, now must more carefully select the holes in the fence where they come and go. They’ve grown and are harder to recognize. Only the slightly smaller size of one or two and perhaps a smoother, brighter coat give them away as young. My cane plants are mostly resting now. Here and there a ripe raspberry still tempts a robin into the patch but for the most part the recently belabored limbs have done their jobs and are withering back. Big new bearers of next summer’s fruit are already stretching up to sway over the older limbs. And the climbing roses, in like manner, have “done their thing” and I know I will only be able to coax a few more owers. But this is not a sad time. This is a season of promise. One of the most beautiful signs of the season that I know of is the look of a well kept vegetable garden. The tomatoes are ripening in earnest, the beans are continuing to amaze us with their volume, the corn is swelling mightily beneath waving tassels, and the zucchini are producing squash faster than a woodsman’s axe can cut rewood. The great leaves of the melons, pumpkins or squash, often planted almost as an afterthought, hide surprises under their sprawling thickets. This is the time to be sure you have enough blueberries for the freezer or they will soon be gone. This is the time to freeze or can those beans you are already getting tired of eating fresh every night. This is the time for making pickles from those cucumbers, if you have any late ones. And this is the time to dig a rst few potatoes to cream with a batch of late peas. Then, after the contemplation of the garden and the harvest that is beginning and the chores that go with it, there is another thing. You might notice that some of the evenings are now cool enough to enjoy hot tea or coffee on the patio. And if the evening is clear this is the time to watch the shooting stars and the aurora borealis. Oh yes, there is still summer remaining but mid-August brings on a perceptible change.

Area woman victim of scam while on Facebook; wants to warn others When you get fooled and lose a sum of money as a consequence, the normal reaction is to blame yourself but keep quiet. A Fowlerville area woman, while asking to remain anonymous, wished to tell how she was victimized while on Facebook as a way of warning others. “I was on Facebook with my cousin,” she said. “We were sending messages back and forth, talking about our respective families, including a member of mine who is suffering from cancer. “My cousin said that she had to put the ribs on and would be back in a minute,” the lady continued. “When she returned, she said ‘I have good news’ and proceeded to tell me about an internet site where, if you qualify due to you or a family member having a disability or illness or needed a place to live, you could win thousands of dollars as well as a laptop computer. She suggested that I go on the site to see if I was eligible to win.” The lady, thinking she was going to a legitimate web site, decided to give it a try and was subsequently contacted. She was told that she had won several thousands of dollars, but needed to send $1,000 in order to pay the expenses for receiving the large sum of money. She received a certi cate entitled: Facebook & Government Compensation Winning Certi cate. Not having that much money, she was told that she could take $500 from her credit card, wire a money order to an address, and then pay the rest later. The lady did so, but shortly after this transaction was completed, she was informed that she needed to send another $470 buy insurance. When she attempted to do this, her credit card bank refused the transaction. It was at this point that she began to realize something was wrong. “When I went back on Facebook I saw a message from my cousin that she had been hacked,” the lady continued. “I saw it late in the evening and didn’t want to bother her, but laying in bed and thinking about the situation, I called her. I asked her if she’d told me about the good news and the possibility of getting nancial help. She didn’t know what I was talking about. She had gotten hacked at the point where she supposedly had to pause and put on the ribs.”

The usual impression people have of victims of internet or other scams that cost them money is that they are greedy, but the culprits also prey on those who are naïve about such matters or are in need of help and see the offer as a godsend. “I feel foolish now and ask myself how I could have fallen for it,” she said. “But I was exchanging messages back and forth with my cousin, as we have done before, and it never occurred to me that someone could follow what was going on and suddenly insert them self in place of my cousin.” Having sent the $500 by money order, there’s no way to reverse the transaction or recover the funds. Her only wish at this point is to warn others of the method used by the scammer so someone else doesn’t lose their money.

Ask the Michigan State TrooperBy Sgt. Michael Sura

There is another dimension beyond that known to people. It is a dimension as vast as the freeway and as timeless as the little back roads. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of people’s fears and the summit of their driving knowledge. This is the dimension of traf c patrol. It is an area which is called the seatbelt zone. I am sure you have all seen the ‘Seatbelt Zone’ signs with an of cer standing outside their vehicle. You may have even passed, giving a confused expression thinking to yourself “what is going on now”. Yes, if you see this you have entered the seatbelt zone. There is zero tolerance for not wearing your seatbelt in the ‘ZONE’ so make sure to buckle up. Over the next few weeks the State of Michigan is gearing up for extra patrols to increase highway safety, so make sure as always to drive safely and get to where you want to go. Rebecca from Howell asks, her child who is one-year-old has basically outgrown the weight limit on their rear facing infant seats. Her question is can she place her child in a forward facing car seat? The answer is Michigan law does permit a child to ride forward-facing once they reach one year of age and 20 pounds, the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly encourages parents to leave their babies rear-facing until the age of 2. Studies have found that children younger than 2 are 75 percent less likely severely injured or worse in a crash if they are rear facing. Labor Day is here and this means the end of summer. Kids are heading back to school. This means the excitement of getting new school supplies, and meeting new friends. Some children will be riding the bus for the rst time. Teary eyed moms and dads watching their little ones go to school for the rst time. However, did you ever wonder why school busses do not have seatbelts? School buses provide one of the safest forms of transportation because of their design and construction. School buses utilize compartmentalization in rows of heavily padded, high-back seats. During crashes, seat belts would negate compartmentalization. It is also feared that some students would receive internal injuries from seat belts through a process called submarining; the tendency for a body to slide downwards during impact. Seat belts on school buses may also hamper rescue or evacuation efforts, as adults or older students may have to spend precious minutes unbuckling young or disoriented passengers. Unruly students could also use the heavy buckles as makeshift weapons, creating even more of a safety hazard. There is also the argument that seat belts would only protect passengers of school buses during unusual events such as roll-overs, but not other possible events such as res or submersion. Enjoy the end of summer and hopefully I won’t be seeing you in the ‘ZONE’.

Senior Spotlight-- Jessica EberlyBy Sam Belongia

“Just enjoy your time in high school while you can. Don’t get caught up in all the drama, and be sure to do as much as you possibly can,” said recent graduate Jessica Eberly as her departing advise to the underclassmen. Eberly attended Webberville Schools since she was in Kindergarten. She is the daughter of Tracy Haite and step- daughter to Erica Haite along with the sister of Steven McKee, a 2010 Webberville graduate and Eric, Jake and Jessica Haite. Throughout the years Eberly has participated in a number of extra-curricular activities, including choir for three years, journalism a year, musical theater two years, prom committee for one year, and Capital Area Career Center for half of her junior year. “I love choir the most; those classes helped me relax and be myself while still having fun,” said Eberly. Eberly had mixed feelings about graduation. She said, “There is no doubt that I will miss everybody I have grown up with, especially my friends and choir class, but going off to college will be great adventure!” Jessica plans to attend Lansing Community College to earn her prerequisite credits and then later attend Michigan State to study obstetrics and gynecology. In the end she hopes to become a certi ed , allowing her to deliver babies. “ ringing new lives into the world will make me happy,” said Eberly utside of school, Eberly enjoyed spending time with her friends and working with kids at the daycare the Kozy Korner. “I will miss her outgoing personality and her constant happiness,” said fellow classmate and friend Kayla Farrier. ne of Eberly’s more memorable teachers, Mr. Moulton,

has had the pleasure of having her in class for the past three years. “Jessica has a unique personality, and it is refreshing to see somebody so honest,” said Moulton.

Webberville High recognized as a Reward School by State of Michigan

By Brian Friddle, Superintendent The efforts of the students and staff have produced great results for Webberville High School. Webberville High School was recognized for being in the top 5 percent of schools making the greatest academic progress over the last four years and has achieved Reward School status. Over the past few years many initiatives were put in place to improve student achievement which included extending the length of the school year from 166 to 174 days in 2013-2014. This provided an additional 45 plus hours of instruction for the students. The staff then dug into the data to see where there was need for improvement and what needed to be addressed. Through this data analysis the teachers were able to see the gaps and focus on speci c standards in the curriculum; they also looked for performance gaps within speci c sub-populations of the student body. As a result of this research, the principal and teachers developed a plan for the implementation of focused curriculum. The Michigan Department of Education provided guidance and the staff was able to target speci c areas to work on for improvement. The lowest performing students were targeted for special assistance and many times were provided with a speci c course to meet their needs. The teachers and building administration researched and studied best practices and found interventions that would help to meet students where there were to promote student achievement, and in addition an after-school program was offered to help students to successfully complete their course work. All of the staff got on board with the initiatives that were implemented, but the junior level teaching staff made a tremendous effort to motivate and educate the students about what needed to happen and what they would need to learn. Regular progress monitoring helped to provide feedback for both staff and students, as knowing how you are doing is a vital part to improvement, and the constant feedback allowed staff to refocus efforts as needed. Webberville High School has had a tremendous amount of success with their interventions and anticipates even greater results in the year to come. To enroll in Webberville Community Schools stop in the of ce or call 517-521-3447. All high school students will receive a free I-pad to support their school work.

If you are going back to college... Many students are heading off to college and whether they are just starting their freshman year or nishing up their se-nior year, it is important to make sure their belongings are in-sured to give you and them peace of mind for the school year. According to the Insurance Institute of Michigan (IMM), in recent years there have been over 41,000 annual reported incidents of theft on or around college campuses. For most students living in the dorm their personal belongings are cov-ered under their parents’ home owners insurance. Back-to-school time is a great time to check the limit for off-premise insurance coverage. Some homeowners insurance limits the coverage to 10 percent of the total amount of coverage for personal items, meaning that if parents have for example $80,000 worth of insurance for their belongings, $8,000 of that would cover personal items in the dorm. Now is a good time to make sure that there is enough coverage. Additionally, students living in off-campus housing may not be covered under their parents’ insurance and may need to purchase renters insurance. Back-to-school time is a good time to check if an insurance policy extends to off campus housing or if separate insurance needs to be purchased. The Insurance Institute of Michigan also offers some tips for students to consider when heading back to campus. The rst tip is to create a “dorm inventory” by taking a de-tailed list of the belongings you bring with you to school and update it every year as necessary. This list will allow insur-ance claims to be settled in the unfortunate event of a theft,

re or some other type of disaster. Students can use the home inventory software at IIM to help by visiting http://knowy-ourstuff.org. Another trip is to have serial numbers for electronics on le in case of theft and to think about having electronic devices engraved with the owner’s state of residence and driver’s li-cense number. In the event that your electronics are stolen this will give police a better chance of tracking it down. Finally, it is important to reinvestigate your policy coverage whenever a living arrangement changes to make sure your coverage is still appropriate. I hope that the back to school transition goes smoothly for everyone and that these tips can help college students and their famies have some peace of mind.

Michigan House ReportCindy Denby,47th District

Page 20 – Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, August 31, 2014

Back to school It’s that time of year again! It seems like just yesterday the students of the 22nd District were enjoying Fourth of July and the Fowlerville Fair, but already it’s time to head back to school. I have recently drawn-up a brochure with some highlights of what the state Legislature has been doing to bene t education. For the fourth straight year, the Legislature increased funding for K-12 education. That’s an increase of more than $1 billion in state funding for classrooms over Fiscal Year 2011! This year’s K-12 education budget totals approximately $12.1 billion in state spending, the most the state has ever spent in educating our kids. Furthermore, Senate Bill 66 encourages schools to offer high school credit for career-based programs in partnership with a local business, labor group or community college. In addition, districts are “strongly encouraged” to establish programs that award credit toward a college degree,

Michigan, Senator Joe Hune was chosen by the Michigan Corn Growers Association for its candidate endorsement to the 22nd State Senate District race. “As a small farmer myself and chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I understand the importance of supporting this wonderful industry and the bene ts it has for our state’s economy,” said Senator Hune. “I thank the Michigan Corn Growers Association for its endorsement of my re-election to the State Senate.” The Michigan Corn Growers Association (MCGA) is a grassroots organization of corn growers which endorses candidates who demonstrate strong support for Michigan’s agriculture sector and support policies that are important to the continued growth of the industry.

MAPO is endorsing Senator Hune for his re-election this November Senator Joe Hune has recently received the Michigan Association of Police Organizations’ (MAPO) endorsement. Senator Hune is running for re-election to the 22nd State Senate District this November.

professional certi cate or apprenticeship. In any emergency, knowing what to do can make the difference. A new law (Public Act 12 of 2014) ensures public schools protect students and staff through stricter adherence to re, tornado and lockdown safety drills. Starting this year, schools must le a schedule of drills for the year with their county emergency manager by Sept. 15. At least one drill must be conducted during lunch or recess, when students are outside of a classroom setting. From information on increased school funding to school safety and more, I hope you nd it useful. In the meantime, best wishes to all those beginning a new school year.

Social Security Questions & Answer

By: Vonda VanTil,Social Security Public Affairs Specialist

Someday Is Closer Than You Think For many people, Someday is an elusive day on the far-off horizon—always close enough to see, but too distant to touch. Perhaps Someday you plan to go skydiving or enter a hot dog-eating contest. Maybe Someday you plan to ride a mechanical bull or travel around the world or visit all of America’s national parks. Someday, you may want to retire. If you are mid-career, Someday, you may need to start planning for retirement. Even if you are just now starting your career, Someday, you’re going to want to see what your future bene ts will be

and check your earnings for accuracy. Well, get ready, because Someday has arrived. Open a my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount, and you’ll see what we mean. Millions of people have already opened an account, taking advantage of the bene ts of my Social Security. Why are so many Americans opening accounts? Because my Social Security is fast, easy, and secure. It’s a convenient way to check your earnings record, get up-to-date, personalized estimates of retirement, disability, and survivors bene ts, and access your Social Security Statement. With a my Social Security account, you can plan for your retirement and get help guring out how to save for your future. If you already receive bene ts, you can manage them online by starting or stopping your direct deposit, changing your address, and getting an instant proof-of-bene ts letter. Someone opens a new account just about every six seconds. Considering there is only one skydive every 16 seconds,

opening a my Social Security is even more popular! That elusive Someday that you thought might never come is here now. ou’ll nd it at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

* * *Social Security & Football

Good coaching and a great playbook can make all the difference in the world for a winning football team. Fail to create a sound game plan, and you’re likely to miss opportunities and fall behind. The same is true for retirement—except you call the plays, including when to retire and how much to save. If you walk onto the retirement eld without a game plan, you may have to work longer than you had hoped. You certainly don’t want to nd yourself unable to have the comfortable retirement you envisioned.

You may have to call your own nancial plays, but Social Security has tools to help you. We can help you decide what options might be successful in any situation you may nd yourself in. For example, how much can you expect to get from Social Security? How much more could you get if you worked a year longer? Two years? What about your spouse, if you are married? And are you saving enough in addition to your expected Social Security bene ts? By simply visiting www.socialsecurity.gov, you can get answers to all of these uestions. You will nd several

nancial planning tools, including our easy-to-use and secure Retirement Estimator. You can use it to get quick retirement estimates based upon your own earnings record. It’s like training camp for nancial planning. All you have to do is provide some information about yourself to verify who you are for security purposes—your name, Social Security number, date and place of birth, your mother’s maiden name, and an estimate of your last year’s earnings. The Retirement Estimator will then create Social Security bene t estimates based on your entire career earnings record. The Retirement Estimator shows what you could receive in Social Security bene ts if you retire at age 6 , what you could receive at your full retirement age, and what you could receive if you work until age 70. Interested in other play options, such as what will happen if you made more money in the future? Or if you want to stop work at a different age than the three we show you? You can try out alternate game plans using the Retirement Estimator if you change your mind about your initial retirement plans. The last thing you want to do is depend on a “Hail Mary” pass when it comes to your retirement. With a good game plan, you will score a retirement touchdown. Remember what one of football’s most accomplished and respected coaches, Vince Lombardi, said: “There’s only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything.” So give everything you have to developing the playbook for your retirement. And the best place to begin your game plan for a successful retirement is at www.socialsecurity.gov.

* * *If your child is disabled, Social Security can help

Cancer is a terrible disease that, although sometimes beatable, can strike a blow to anyone unfortunate enough to face it. It is especially dif cult to see children struck by cancer. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, designated to bring attention to the types of cancer that largely affect children. About 1 ,000 children under age 1 receive cancer diagnoses every year. About a quarter of them will not survive. Those who do will likely suffer with the disease for some time. While Social Security cannot help with the cure, we can offer nancial support to children with cancer—or any other severe disability. If your child has cancer or another disabling condition, and if your family has low income and few resources, you may be able to get Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, for your child. If you are receiving retirement or disability bene ts, your child may be eligible for Social Security disability insurance when he or she turns age 18 as a “Disabled Adult Child.” To receive SSI or disability insurance bene ts, your child’s condition must be expected to last for at least 1 continuous months or result in death. For both Social Security and SSI, you will need to le an application for disability bene ts. A good place to start is by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/disability and selecting the “Disability Starter it” under “Apply for Bene ts.” There, you’ll nd a “Child Disability Starter it” that includes a factsheet to answer your questions, a link to the “Child Disability Report” for you to complete, a checklist for your in-of ce interview with a Social Security representative, and a “Medical and School Worksheet.” A printable version of the “Child Starter Kit” is available. Although going through the disability decision process and

Raise kids’ grades with study tips for the digital age (StatePoint) It happened again this year: The kids are back in the classroom before you’ve had the chance to blink. Thankfully, new developments in education are making it easier than ever for students to hit the ground running. These days, technology has the power to dramatically improve how kids digest, retain and apply information – if you know how to use it. Check out these great study tips that can help your student achieve the grades they strive for.Quit Cramming “All-nighters” are a relic of the “Saved by the Bell” era. Research now shows that students who cram the evening before a test or quiz are less likely to perform well the following day. Rest is critical for academic success. Instead of packing learning into marathon sessions, students should maintain a regular study schedule leading up to their tests and should make sure to get plenty of shuteye.Create a Digital Tool-Kit “Be prepared” is the simple motto of the Boy Scouts, and it applies to almost every facet of life. You wouldn’t try to build a tree-house without a hammer, saw and nails -- you shouldn’t study with an empty tool kit either. These days, there are unique tech tools available that make the studying process more ef cient, engaging and effective. For example, McGraw-Hill Education’s LearnSmart provides an adaptive “digital tutor” that continuously assesses students’ knowledge and skills and provides personalized recommendations that help them master content over time. By helping students focus their study time more on learning what they don’t know and less on what they already know, LearnSmart can help turn C students into B students and B students into A students. The company also offers SmartBook, a personalized digital textbook that ad usts on the y and highlights important information based on each student’s current strengths and weaknesses. You can nd more information on McGraw-Hill Education’s entire family of adaptive learning tools at www.mheducation.com/back-to-school.Jump Around

Not physically, but guratively. hen prepping

for a test, most students review course materials in chronological order. hile this approach may seem logical, research suggests that studying out-of-order helps students retain standalone knowledge more effectively. This allows them to recall information in a randomized fashion (the way it appears on tests). If your children apply themselves and use these tips to guide their studies, they’ll have a leg up in the beginning of the school year.

hether it’s McGraw-Hill Education’s digital learning products, an outside-the-box approach to test-prep, or just a good night’s sleep, a dynamic, modern approach to education can help your child thrive. “This is the era of digital education,” said Jeff Livingston, senior vice president of McGraw-Hill Education. “ e must continue to develop adaptive technologies that streamline the learning process and increase the potential of students everywhere.” If your student has struggled in the past, or if you think he or she isn’t reaching his or her true potential, try some new techniques to help make this school year the best one yet.
