By MARY KAY McPARTLIN [email protected] This year’s kick-off for the 2015 United Way campaign is Friday, Sept. 18, at 7:30 a.m. in O’Laughlin stadium at Siena Heights University. United Way supporters will gather to cele- brate the organization’s achievements and a new year of fundraising and community as- sistance with new Community Engagement Manager Copi Val- diviez, as well as the teams and cheerleaders from Siena Heights University and Adrian College. “It’s a real kick-off this year thanks to Siena Heights Univer- sity and Adrian College who are providing football tickets for a giveaway,” said Jim Hartley, campaign chair for the 2015 fundraising. The annual United Way Day of Action continues after the kick-off festivities on Septem- ber 18. Valdiviez hopes to have 600 volunteers working throughout Lenawee County to help in a variety of ways, from clean-up of public areas to pro- viding assistance to individuals in need. There are 400 people already signed up for the Day of Action, and Valdiviez believes the gen- erosity of people in the county will fill up the other spots be- fore September 18. “People see the value of kicking in and rolling up their sleeves,” Hartley said. Prior to the kick-off, Val- diviez and Lenawee United Way are making contacts with workplaces in the county to present the campaign. The goal is to reach out to area busi- nesses and organizations with presentations designed to illus- trate the goals of United Way and how donations are utilized. “Consumers Energy under- wrote the cost for the video,” Valdiviez said. “We are very thankful for their support.” A video has been created for the presentations and is also available to view online at www.lenaweeunitedway.org.

There is something fun aboutfinding the perfect word to createa connection. There are all thoseregular words flying around theuniverse, serviceable, but notvery exciting and often overused.Sometimes a word of magnifi-cence is demagnified throughoveruse. Take “awesome,” forexample. A word meant to con-vey breathtaking amazement inlandscape, people or events hasdevolved to mean “cool.” I re-frain from assigning blame forthis phenomenon with theknowledge I am guilty of con-tributing to the weakening of“awesome.” My responses on so-cial media contain far too many“Awesome!” comments, and forthat I apologize.Sometimes I run across a per-

son and think he or she should bethe photo by a particular word inthe dictionary. The impact madeby the individual seems encapsu-lated by one particular word, andI can’t help but think of the wordevery time I see or read or hearabout said person.There are two dictionary defi-

nitions of the adjective “garru-lous.” The first, according towww.dictionary.com, is “exces-sively talkative in a rambling,roundabout manner, especiallyabout trivial matters,” and thesecond definition is “wordy ordiffuse.” This is the word thatpops into my mind every time Iam forced to listen to DonaldTrump.Garrulous could probably be

applied to many politicians, butTrump seems to have perfectedbetter than anyone on the planetthe art of talking about nothingwithout saying anything. Hissmooshy mouth smirk withsquinchy eyes is an added touchto his speaking style. I keepreading about how he speakshonestly. There are times where Iread something about a certainstance he has and I think, “Well,okay, I’m down with that.” Thena mere sentence or two later, it’sanarchy. If being insulting andself-involved defines honesty onthe road to the White House, Iguess Trump is garrulously hon-est, but this trait is truly not sell-ing him to me as a Presidentialcandidate.Benevolent is an adjective

with three www.dictionary.comdefinitions including “character-ized by or expressing goodwillor kindly feelings,” “desiring tohelp others; charitable,” “in-tended for benefits rather thanprofit.” This is a word that couldbe directly applied to PresidentJimmy Carter. He left the OvalOffice with dignity and class. Inlife after the presidency, he fo-cused on service in the UnitedStates and all over the world.Through his work with Habitat

for Humanity and the creation ofthe Carter Presidential Center,President Carter has spent his re-tirement working to promotehuman rights and battle humansuffering. A quiet man who spenthis presidency dealing with do-mestic and foreign strife, he al-ways showed care and concernfor all people.Honored with the Nobel

Peace Prize in 2002 to recognizehis work for peace and promo-tion of human rights, PresidentCarter never shied away from abattle. Yet, his weapons in everyfight were kindness and quietstrength to accomplish what isright. He met with world leadersto encourage talk and work to-ward ending conflicts, and builthouses with Habitat for Human-ity. President Carter worked hardnot to benefit his bank accountbut instead to always reach out ahand to people in need. In thenews this week was his diagnosisof cancer. I find myself wonder-ing if we will ever have a presi-dent as approachable and warmas President Carter.All the hoo-hah surrounding

Michigan Representative ToddCourser brings to mind the ad-jective “delusional,” as definedby www.dictionary.com as “hav-ing false or unrealistic beliefs oropinions” or in “psychiatry,maintaining fixed false beliefseven when confronted withfacts.” The fact is Courser andRepresentative Cindy Gamrat en-gaged in an extra-marital affair.Courser’s attempted to deflect at-tention from his affair with Gam-rat by sending out an emailaccusing himself of having sexwith a man behind a Lansing bar.He later explained his betrayal ofhimself as necessary to expose anon-existent blackmailer who ispart of the what Courser calls the“mafia” working in the MichiganLegislature. He refuses to resignbecause he won’t give in to thepeople trying to take him down,namely, himself. Hoo boy. Real-ity over fiction again.We recently found out Jim

Lincoln was selected as the Mus-grove Evans Award winner for2015. He is a stalwart supporterof Tecumseh through his workboth as publisher of The Tecum-seh Herald and the many volun-teer hats he has worn in thecommunity. The definition atwww.dictionary.com for “stal-wart” is “firm, steadfast, or un-compromising.” Lincoln is allthat, plus gracious, kind, caring,and funny. It’s been a privilegeto work with him during my col-lege years and now.The best thing about Lincoln’s

accolade is the opportunity tosay publicly how all of us at theHerald have a one-of-a-kind bosswe think is awesome.

The Lenawee County Com-missioners voted 9-0 Wednesdayto put a $3 911 telephone sur-charge fee in front of voters at theMarch presidential primary elec-tion. The decision comes aftercommissioners delayed a votelast month that would haveplaced a $2.52 surcharge decisionon the March ballot. The proposed $2.52 fee would

not cover the county's dispatch'sbudget shortfall over the next fiveyears as the dispatch needs up-grades to its radio communica-tions system so the $3 fee wasdecided upon. The 911 board’s proposal of

$3, the maximum allowed bystatute, was estimated to generate$2.9 million a year and wouldhelp pay for an estimated $3.2million 800-megahertz radio con-version.In 2013, The Federal Commu-

nications Commission recentlyimplemented a practice callednarrowbanding, dictating what

frequency public safety radioscan operate in.“There’s been so many

changes in the public safety radionetwork over the last few years,”Tecumseh Police Chief TroyStern said last month, adding thechanges have drastically reducedreception and transmission abili-ties by about 15 percent “There isjust so much new technology andit’s coming down on us everyday. That’s what makes the five-year plan such a moving targetbecause we don’t know where wewill be,” Stern said.Lenawee County’s 911 dis-

patch is expected to run a deficitin this year’s $1.63 millionbudget after exhausting its cashreserves with a $2 million short-fall to upgrade 911 equipment ex-pected over the next five yearswith the $2.52 fee. Funding for 911 dispatch serv-

ices can come from severalsources. There is a state tele-phone fee of $0.29 per device thatcan reach 911 services levied thatgets divided amongst the countiesin both a flat fee and a formula

based on population. In July,Lenawee County received thestate flat rate of $27,947 with anadditional $35,172 coming fromthe population-based formula. Counties can also levy a 911

surcharge fee, which LenaweeCounty currently does at a rate of$1.18. Originally, county votersin 2004 approved the $2.52 sur-charge before it was reduced to$1.18 by the state legislature. Counties, such as Washtenaw

and Monroe, can also pay for 911dispatch services with countygeneral fund money, whichLenawee County does not do.Washtenaw County has a 911 sur-charge fee of $0.43, while Mon-roe County Charges $0.42. Hillsdale County dispatch

services are supported com-pletely by surcharges and whilevoters have approved a fee up to$3, currently only levies $2.42. Costs 911 dispatch incur are

personnel and equipment costs,tower rental fees, rental fees tothe Lenawee County Sheriff’sOffice and infrastructure mainte-nance fees.

Working in partnershipwith these diverse interests,RRWC acts as a catalyst to im-prove the watershed environmentthrough planning, advocacy, edu-cation, science and protection ofwatershed lands.

“The main consideration wasour need to keep up the positivemomentum built by Carley Kratz,PhD, [the prior director] in thepast year and a half.

dream come true,” May said. “Ithas been a great run of morethan twenty-seven years in theDrain office and over eighteen-and-a-half years as Drain Com-missioner, and in an advisoryrole to the RRWC. I would liketo thank my fellow elected offi-cials and county commissionersfor their support and above all

the great cit-izens ofL e n a w e eCounty fortheir supportand respect.I would alsolike to thankmy staff andtheir dedica-tion to ex-cellence and I am convinced oftheir continued commitment toLenawee County.“Now it’s time for a hands-on

role to ensure our rebuildingcontinues to make a differencein the watershed,” May added.

Drain Commissioner resigning Oct. 2 for executiveposition with River Raisin Watershed Council

hopes to strengthen the commu-nity.United Way on both a na-

According to Valdiviez,United Way’s goal of loweringthe high school drop-out rate forfinancially struggling youth hasto start at the beginning of everychild’s academic career.Support of early childhood

and pre-kindergarten programsin Lenawee County may meanresults are not seen for morethan a decade, but interventionat a young age is the best way tohelp more children graduatefrom high school, the non-profitbelieves. Local organizations re-ceiving United Way support in-clude Adrian CommunityPreschool Three-Year-Old Pro-gram at $19,500, Lenawee Inter-mediate School District (LISD)Lenawee Great Start Collabora-tive at $10,000, LISD Lenawee’sCHILD at $25,528, and YMCAof Lenawee County Three-Year-Old Scholarship Program at$19,000.Health funded programs are

the second area of United Way’sfocus in the county. The goal isto reduce obesity and help allresidents have access to healthyfruits and vegetables.United Way has a wellness

coach on staff whose salary isfunded by separate donors, butthe organization believes moreassistance is the key to success,especially in lowering the rate ofobesity. Organizations supportedby United Way to improve thehealth of county residents in-clude Boys and Girls Club ofLenawee Triple Play at $30,000and HOPE Community CenterTheWellness Club at $30,000.Helping people understand

their finances and providing sup-port to encourage financial sta-bility is also a benefit for thecounty as a whole. United Wayis committed to helping thosewho need financial assistance.Financial programs supported

by United Way include Commu-

nity Action Agency CompleteApproach to Self-Sufficiency(CASS) at $45,000, GoodwillIndustries Raise Up at $45,000,and Habitat for Humanity Path-way to Home Ownership at$20,000.“It’s all about helping people

live within their means,” saidValdiviez. “The programs aredesigned to help people move upthe economic ladder.”The organization still assists

with basic needs of individualsin the areas of food and shelter,but believes addressing thesethree areas is the key to helpingmore people over time. A narrowfocus is a better way to worklong-term.“We aren’t going to turn the

world around next year,” saidHartley. “But we need to get thebiggest return possible.”For more information on

The Tecumseh Area Chamberof Commerce has named Jim Lin-coln as the 2015 Musgrove EvansAward recipient. Lincoln is thepublisher of The Tecumseh Her-ald and active in the communityas a volunteer with different non-profit organizations.The name for this award is de-

rived from the founding father ofTecumseh, Musgrove Evans, andaward presentations date back to1989. Lincoln was selected from agroup of highly qualified nomi-nees for their work in the Tecum-seh community.“The award committee, which

is made up of past award recipi-ents, had a difficult decision tomake with the number of veryqualified nominations we re-ceived,” said Tecumseh Chamber

Chamber to present Musgrove Evans Award

Wow! Have I had one heckof a week! First, I found out Iwon the European Lottery.Now, I never bought a ticket— but I was told because Iwas a world citizen in goodstanding, I was automaticallyentered. I was glad to know Ihad a $100,000.00 coming tome (if I just paid an interna-tional tax fee of $1,000).Good news because I wasgoing to need the money. You see, I got a phone call

from California stating mynephew was in jail and neededa $3,000 bond, or he was notgoing to be released. Then, Ireceived another phone callfrom the IRS stating that Iowed back taxes of $30,000. Icould settle for a smaller feeof just $2,000 if I sent themoney. If I didn’t pay though,they would be at my house in45 minutes to arrest me.That’s why I have to type thisarticle quickly. Then, I received an email

from an attorney that told methat a relative I have nevermet owned diamond mines inSouth Africa. If I paid just afew thousand dollars for trans-ferring fees, I could claimowner ship of the mines.Sounds like all my moneytroubles with the IRS couldget handled then and I wouldstill have enough to rescue mypoor nephew. I just needed toavoid being arrested by theIRS for a little longer.Sound pretty ridiculous?

Yet people fall prey to thesescams all the time. If it soundstoo good to be true, or just alittle ridiculous, it probably is. If you suspect someone is

trying to scam you — do notrespond in any way. Ignoreany suspicious emails, lettersand pop up boxes. If it’s a

telephone call, hang up. If it isa person coming to your door,close the door and report theincident to the police. Resistthe temptation to outsmart theperpetrator. If you’ve alreadyresponded to a scam, end allfurther communication. Asmart fraudster will try to re-establish communication withsomeone who gave them hopeof succeeding. Don’t betempted, no matter what theysay. If you’ve given the fraud-ster your bank account infor-mation, contact your bankimmediately. The bank can puta fraud alert on your account,close an account, and help youchange passwords and pinnumbers. If it is a credit card com-

pany, contact the credit ordebit card company and closethe card. Limit your personalinformation on your socialnetworking sites. Social net-working sites are easy pick-ings for crooks. Use yourprivacy settings to limit ac-cess of your information to thefewest number of people pos-sible. If someone tells youthey are from a company youdo business with, contact thatcompany using the phonenumber on your statement orin the phone book and ask tospeak to the fraud security de-partment. They will want toknow if there company isbeing misrepresented by crim-inals.Uh’oh, I just heard a knock

at my door. It’s probably theIRS. Well — ‘til next week(I hope). Stay safe, staysmart, and don’t fall for ascam.If you have questions or

Over 600 volunteers are ex-pected to show at United Way ofLenawee’s 6th Annual Day ofAction, taking place September18 throughout the city of Adrianand other areas around LenaweeCounty. Day of Action is com-prised of businesses, groups, andindividuals coming together tovolunteer for various projectsthat nonprofits host around thecommunity. Although there aremultiple volunteers, many proj-ects are still open for volunteersto take on during the event. Christine MacNaughton,

Community Impact Manager forUnited Way of Lenawee, issearching for more volunteers totackle the large list of 45 proj-ects. “We’d like all the projectsto be adopted,” MacNaughtonstated. “Many of these nonprofitsare so busy helping people thattheir in-house staff is sostretched, they don’t have time topull weeds or paint the office.”Some of the projects that still

need volunteers include Party InThe Park, a celebration to edu-cate the community on mentalhealth issues, planned by Inter-Connections Inc. Snacks forKids, a drive for healthy snacksfor hungry children put on byCatholic Charities; and PlantControl at Hidden Lake Gardens,where volunteers will help re-move invasive plant species thatare harmful to the park. “Itwould be so cool for someone totake on the Community BabyShower, and Goodwill has a lotof painting that needs to be done,but all the projects are impor-tant,” MacNaughton said. MacNaughton says that many

groups who participated in2014’s Day of Action have of-fered to volunteer again. “Lastyear we had a business visit

Daybreak, a care center foradults who have dementia. Theytook pictures of members in cos-tumes, and did glamour shots foradults. Everybody was having somuch fun. The business enjoyedit so much they signed up againfor this year,” MacNaughtonsaid. “We also hope to have suc-cess with Rock the Block, wherewe choose a block that needs alot of work and do repairs andlandscaping. I believe last yearwe painted the outside of ahouse, and demolished a house.We had over 200 volunteers forthat.” Although the primary focus is

to help others, MacNaughton be-lieves that volunteers have theopportunity to benefit from Dayof Action as well. “It’s not a badthing to gain joy from volunteer-ing. People who participate be-come more invested and learnabout the community,” Mac-Naughton said. “Our philosophyis to give, advocate, and volun-teer. It’s about people connectingand seeing how much of a differ-

ence you can actually make.Many of our nonprofits, such asArt-A-Licious, actually dependon Day of Action.” As well as a way to benefit

those in the community, Mac-Naughton views Day of Actionas a learning experience for indi-viduals who may not of heard ofsome Lenawee County non-prof-its previously. “It’s an opportu-nity for the community to cometogether and learn about the vari-ous agencies and organizationsthat could use volunteer assis-tance,” MacNaughton stated.“It’s going to be great to have600 volunteers with their UnitedWay shirts out out in the commu-nity and making a difference. Itwill be a great way to show theimpact of United Way. Even ifyou aren’t in a group, individualscan come and choose where theywould like to help out.” Businesses, groups and indi-

viduals who are interested insigning up for Day of Action canvisit www.lenaweeunitedway.-org, or call 263.4696.

(8.12.1965) — New speculationhas arisen over the future of the600-acre Kuehmann Potato ChipCo. Farm between Tecumseh andClinton.A three-year option on the land

has been taken by George V. Un-derwood Jr., Clinton Ford-Mercurydealer; who states he has no defi-

nite plans in mind.However, he did admit that it

possibly could be used for indus-trial purposes.The farm is one of the largest in

the area and is located on bothsides of Tecumseh-Clinton rd., run-ning roughly from Allen Rd. toPennington Hwy., a distance of one

mile. Its western boundary is theRiver Raisin.The Kuehmann Co. owned the

land for 15 years, raising potatoesfor its chip industry, selling theland several years ago to theCharles Hootman of Toledo, fromwhom Mr. Underwood obtainedhis option.

(8.12.1965) — Mrs. Harold Under-wood is Tecumseh’s 1965 PancakeRace champion.The 18-year-old mother of an in-

fant son, won the title and a $25prize Friday evening in the event,which has become a traditional fea-ture of Sidewalk Sale Day in Tecum-seh.She bested a field of seven, in-

cluding two former champs, SandyTheobald of Adrian, who won lastsummer, and Mrs. Richard Gardner,1962 champ.Mrs. Underwood is the former

Janet Bilby and resides with her hus-band and son on Allen Rd.

Runner up honors for ‘65 wentto Mrs. Gardner, 26, who lives at1205 Russell Rd. and wasawarded $15.

Mrs. Underwood posted a timeof 49.6 seconds, while Mrs. Gard-ner had 54.6 seconds.

Third place and $10 went to Mrs.James Shiels, 32, of rural Britton,who was clocked in 55 seconds.Other competitors included Mrs.

Gaylord Moses of Hudson, whotook second last year; Mrs. DarylShaw of Blissfield and Mrs. CliffordAdkins, 303 E. Pottawatamie St.

BOTH SIDES of S. Evans St.were jammed with spectators for theevent, which was run in three heats.Officials were Ted Todd and FigNewton, who times the leaders ineach one a with regulation track stopwatches.Prize money was donated by

Tecumseh merchants.

(8.12.1965) — Robert Hunt of9849 Murphy Hwy., finally shotthe great Horned Owl with a wingspread of 4’5” that has been heck-ling the Hunt farm for the past twoyears.Perhaps the remaining 30 duck-

lings at the Hunts’ will have achance for survival.Mr. Hunt sighted the huge bird

Monday evening on the roof of thebarn at dusk just as the family was

entering the car to go to Tecumseh.Cautioning the family to be

still, he got his shotgun and shotthe bird to the ground where aneighbor boy, Danny Hannasak,finished him with a blow to thehead.The only owls larger than the

great horned ones are those foundin Canada and Alaska called theGreat Grey Owl whose wing-spread ranges from 54’ to 60”.

(8.19.1965) — Folks using downtown off-street parking lots Oct. 15 and 16 won’thave to feed the meters, thanks to theChurch of Christ.In a search for something new in adver-

tising, the church will rent all 250 meters,planning to place printed sacks on themtelling of a week-long series of public meet-ings.

COUNCIL established a fee of $70 forthe two days, which is estimated revenue for

meters on an average Friday and Saturday.The sacks must be put on and removed

by the Church. Council told a representa-tive, with a deadline set as of Monday, Oct.18 at 7 a.m. Meters are not in operation Sun-day and the bags will be left on that day, too.

Councilman Gene Tuckey said he likedany idea which would give free off-streetparking to shoppers.“I’d be tickled if service clubs would buy

meters for weekend,” he added.

In arriving at a rental fee, Council askedPolice Chief Murrel Clark about meter re-ceipts. July produced $1,116.50 from allunits, with $430 of this being from those onoff-street lots, the chief explained.

A CAMPAIN by merchants to elim-inate meters, headed by United Sav-ings Bank President Pat Meadows, hasso far bought up bonds on 50 metersand these spaces are now free at alltimes.

(8.19.1965) — Old St. Peter’s is gone, butits memory lingers on.A cross made of two hand-hewn timbers

from the historic 129-year-old Episcopalhouse of worship, now stands at the site ofthe original alter.The Rev. Frank Hawthorne, rector, says

that soon a bronze plaque will be placednear the cross giving data on the church,which was Michigan’s oldest in continuoususe.

Now, up pop the two unique paintingsof the old church, done by CharlotteLockwood of Vero Beach, Fla. andClark’s Lake.

Miss Lockwood did them with what isknown in art circles as the dry brush tech-nique and how she came to do them is fasci-nating.Things started back three years ago when

the Save Historic St. Peter’s committee wasattempting to raise $100,000 to move, re-store and care for the old building as a mu-seum.Old timers will recall that nearly $10,000

was donated from all over the nation, mainlyin $1 gifts. The idea was to get 100,000 in-terested people to send a buck each.Among the donors was Mrs. Floyd Poole

of Jackson, who has long been interested inarchitecture and especially that of churches.

She thought about St. Peter’s for along time and then in a meeting with MissLockwood commissioned her for $100 todo a painting of the old church.

The artist was given several newspaperpictures from which to work since the build-ing had been leveled.So fascinated by the job, Miss Lockwood

went right ahead and did a second painting.It was this one which she brought to the

Herald office, where it currently is on dis-play.

(8.19.1965) — Sometimes, city governmentcan be quick and crisp.

Take Monday evening, for instance.Topic was the Economic Opportunities Act

— one leg of the War on Poverty, whereby theFederal Government will provide 90% offunds needed in a job training program.

State Senator Haskell Nichols had writtenthat city officials should make their movenow if they wanted to apply for a Federalgrant.

Here was the dialog:Mayor Harold Easton: “Who’s unem-

ployed?”City Attorney Jim Beardsley; “Just those

who want to be.”Councilman George McCombs; “It’s pos-

sible that some of those who might want toride along on it will move to a place where itis.”

City Manager Cal Zorn: “I don’t think youcan get personnel (to take job training). Theywon’t work for $1 an hour.”

Mayor (producing list of welfare cases inTecumseh): “Seven families in the city are ondirect relief. Six (of adults) are physically un-able to work.”

With that the subject was dropped.

(8.19.1965) — A miniature golf course maybe installed at The Pit next summer.Don Maves of the Parks and Recreation

Board reported at the meeting Aug. 9 that aWee Tee golf concession in Adrian was forsale.If a deal can be reached, the layout will be

purchased for The Pit.

DO-IT-YOURSELF — The Auto-Mist car wash, 837 W. Chicago Blvd., is Tecumseh’s newest and most modern car wash. Highpressure water and soap suds are forced through a hose after the operator deposits 25c in the coin slot. This process continuesfor five minutes and for another 25c the operator gets five minutes of clear water to rinse his auto. There are four stalls at theAuto-Mist, enough to handle everyone on the busiest days with only a few minutes to wait.
