with interest.
City Council voted unanimously at its
April 25 meeting to schedule a special meet-
ing for 7 p.m., May 16, at city hall, 375 Depot Street. The meeting to consider the
bids for the DPW addition is contingent

Amy Eiden of Springfield Township has
walked at Clarkston's Relay for Life for years,
supporting her friend Teresa Wynn's team.
On Saturday, May 14, walkers will hit the
track at Clarkston Junior High School for her,
as well as everyone else affected by cancer.
"It definitely has a different feel this year,"
said Eiden, who has been battling
Neuroendocrine cancer since January. "It's
all brand new, definitely huge. There are so
many different types of cancer, the only way
to get it is by fund raising."
It was around Christmas when she
discovered something was not right.
"It was weird, all of a sudden," she said.
"My lymph nodes were swollen and I had a
sore throat."
A self-administered breast exam revealed
a lump right away.
"I immediately called my doctor," she said.
After a mammogram and biopsy, she was
diagnosed on January 13.
"I thought it would be nothing there's
no history of cancer in my family," she said.
"This type of cancer is rare, a fraction of one
percent."
Chemotherapy and radiation followed,
both at the same time to treat the aggressive
form of cancer.
Radiation treatments have been Monday
through Friday since March, and
chemotherapy three days a week every three
weeks.
"It makes you sick. I lost all my hair," she
said. "I lost a lot of feeling in my fingers, got
the shakes in my hands, fatigue like I have
never felt before, a lot of nausea. Food tastes
different. A little bit of hearing loss."
Treatments should be complete by the
end of June.
"I hope it will. It depends on what they
find," she said.

Wynn, Kirsten Sande, and other friends
and neighbors have supported her
throughout the process.
"A fantastic support system of neighbors
and friends to help me keep plugging along,"
Eiden said. "If I need something, friends are
here with whatever I need."
Wynn set up a Go Fund Me page online,
called "Amy's Fight."

Brady Lodge renovations continue

BY TREVOR KEISER
Clarkston News Staff Writer
A couple weeks ago, the old bell at Brady
Lodge, located in Bay Court Park off
Andersonville Road, was hung once again
in the tower.
Structurally there was some rotting
wood and missing support pieces,
Independence Township Treasurer Paul
Brown said. A bad storm could have blown
that thing right off and killed somebody.
The restructuring of the bell is just part
of the townships efforts to restore the 91year-old building, which they started a
couple of years ago.
Brown said the lodge has been in disrepair
for at least the past 20 years. Because things
were so bad, the township had to either fix it
or tear it down. According to Brown, fixing it
made sense, not just because of its historical
value, but financially as well.
To put a few hundred thousands into it,
to get it renovated, is way less expensive for
what it would cost you to build a building
like this, he said.
In the past two years, the township has
spent between $200,000 and $225,000 in
repairs, according to Independence
Township Supervisor Pat Kittle. Repairs
included a new roof, some new structural
timbers, as well as the bell and cupola on the
roof.
It was so scary because the last time a
roof was put on, and I dont remember the
exact year, but they did it the cheap way,
Kittle said. They didnt repair any of the
flashing. They didnt repair any of the
deteriorated windows up on the second floor
so water started getting in under the shingles
rotting the timbers, and water poured in
through the broken windows on the second
story and rotted all the floor boards to the
point where it was almost unsafe.
Brady Lodge was built in 1921 by George
Nexsen Brady, grandson of a Revolutionary
Independence Township Treasurer

Camp Counselor in 1969. Photo provided.

War brigadier general. When the lodge

burned down in 1925, it had to be rebuilt.
The lodge served as a Boy Scout Camp from
1921 to 1946. Brady Lodge was used as a
mess hall and a place during inclement
weather, and people camped in tent cities on
the property.
In 1946, the camp was sold to the United
Way, which also used it as camp through
1972.
Treasurer Brown was one of the United
Way camp kids when he was 8-years-old in
the summer of 1969. He said he was one of
five kids raised by a single mom.
I think Clarkston Area Youth Assistance
got me a spot where I was able to come to
camp here a week that summer, he said.
Brown recalled the lodge was the dining
hall, and the living quarters for the camp
director were above the backend of the
lodge.
We would come here, breakfast, lunch
and dinner, he said.
Brown said each of the campers cottages
were named after an Indian Tribe and there
were about 10-12 campers in each tribe. At
night he said the lodge was used to do skits
and other activities.
I remember singing songs, Jeremiah was
a Bull-Frog, he said. That was real popular
back then.
Brown also recalled activities at the
different cottages where they did biology
type projects and art projects. He also learned
camper skills and was taught the buddy
system when it came to swimming and
such.
We were able to do a little canoeing and
boating on the lake, he said. It was just a
very cool thing, fresh in my memory.
It meant a lot to me. It was the first time

Poetry slam
Poets will take the stage in the
Clarkston High School auditorium for the
10th Annual Poetry Slam, Friday, May 13.
The 23 poets represent all grade levels
at the high school, including an alumni,
Trevor Torres.
This year, poets were selected based
on video submissions and printed copies
of their poems to evaluate the poets performance along with their poetic ability.
The poetry slam is a great opportunity to give people a chance to express
themselves, said junior Hannah
Robertson.
This is Robertsons first year performing along with many other new poets, as
well as many returning, including seniors
Hanna Jeung and Ceren Ege, and junior
Emma Barnes.
Admission is $2 and all the proceeds
go to InsideOut Literary Arts Project,
which has led over 50,000 Detroit youth
on adventures using poetry to become
better citizens and students.

away from home, he added. I do remember

I had a blast all week, but then I saw my mom
and just started bawling and ran all the way
over to her.
Now that the lodge is foundationally
secure, Kittle said next steps on the lodge
project will include electrical, painting,
windows and security.
Those are my main four priorities before
we get through the year. Its in the Capital
Improvement Plan 2016, Kittle said. We
currently have $200,000 in the account. I
think what were going to do will come in
less, so we should be in good shape.
To help out with the cost of repairs the
township is also getting $30,000 from the
Daughters of American Revolution (DAR)
to put in new windows.
Kittle and Brown think the lodge would
be a great place for a Farmers Market or a
weekend Flower Fair. Brown noted the park
keeps busy during the summer.
We think this is a neat park for the
community and if done properly as we try to
look at ways to try and increase sort of the
cultural aspect of the community that it would
attract younger families, Brown said. There
is a lot of opportunity with not only this
building, but the park itself.

Dale Hamilton celebrates retirement after 42 years

BY TREVOR KEISER
Clarkston News Staff Writer
His nickname might be Grumpy, but
dont let that fool you. Behind his tough
exterior, longtime custodian Dale Hamilton
is a Teddy Bear at heart.
Hes a goofball and everybody knows
it, said his oldest daughter, Karrie Jolly. Hes
the biggest jokester and biggest prankster.
If he teases you, it means he likes you.
Friends and family gathered at OverTyme
Grill in Waterford to celebrate Hamiltons
retirement after 42 years of service as a
custodian for Clarkston Community
Schools, April 28.
Hamilton, a Clarkston native and
graduate, said he took the job in 1974 because
he was laid off from General Motors.
I had to have a job, so the school hired
me and thats why I started, he said. I told
my wife at the time were going starve to
death because it was less money, but we
made it.
Hamilton said both Clarkston and Pontiac
Schools offered him a job on the same day,
but he decided to go with Clarkston. His
father, Al, was also a longtime custodian who
retired from Clarkston Schools as well.
I guess my heart lies in Clarkston," he
said. I was born and raised in Clarkston all
my life until I moved to Lake Orion.
Hamilton said he kept with the job

because the pay was good, the work was
good and they treated you good.
It paid my bills and sent my daughters
to college. Its been a good job, he said. I
had a lot of good times and the kids were
fun.
In addition to being a custodian, Hamilton
is also an on-call firefighter with Lake Orion
Fire Department for 34 years.
I get a job and I stay with it, he added.
Its that dedication that has been an
example to his daughters.
Its a rarity. You dont find many people
who work for 42 years for one company and
in one districtI know he will be missed,
Jolly said. "He instilled in both my sister and
myself a very strong work ethic and hes the
greatest. There are not enough good things
I could say about him.
Her sister Stacy Cary agreed.
Hes always been an extremely hard
worker and never complained, Cary added.
He could go off of no sleep and just keep
going all day and then come home and play
with us. Hes just a good person and a good
dad.
Hamiltons mother, Loretta, a cook for the
Oakland County Jail for 29 years, said the
hard-work ethic runs in the family.
Hes a great son, she added. Hes

always had money. Hes always worked, from
a paperboy right on up.
Lezlie Hallman who graduated with
Hamilton in 1972 worked with him both at
North Sashabaw Elementary and
Renaissance High school said shes known
Dale for a long time.
Hes going to be very, very missed. Hes
a great guy. Nice family man who loves his
kids and grandkids, Hallman said. He
loves all the kids at Renaissance too, even
though hes pretty gruff sometimes. Hes
an A1 guy.
Director of Renaissance High School
Christa Fons agreed.
He does anything to help you and he
has the biggest heart, Fons said.
Former Principal Billie Pambid started
working with Hamilton at S. Sashabaw
Elementary and remembered no matter
what it was, Hamilton dealt with the
situation.
We used to have a killer hamster and it
would grab his finger or run up his leg. He
took everything in stride and laughed, she
said. He made really good relationships
with kids, parents and made my life as a
principal much easier.
Pambrid noted how they would get
compliments on their building all the time,
because of how nice and clean it looked.
She attributed it to Hamilton.
Fellow custodian Dave Merz said
working with Hamilton was a blast.
Never a dull moment working with him,
Merz added. I consider him a good friend
and glad hes finally decided to throw in
the towel and enjoy retirement.
So what exactly is he going to do in his
retirement?
Ill probably watch the grandkids more
often, Hamilton said. Do that and spend
more time hunting and fishing.

A column by Wendi Reardon
Spring driving
The trees are budding with leaves and

construction barrels are popping up along
the roads. Spring has arrived and is
possibly staying.
With it comes people breaking free from
their homes and adventuring out to escape
cabin fever. Driving the roads with windows
down and the spring air whipping into the
vehicle.
So here I am the party pooper on my
wooden soapbox (it adds an authentic
touch, don't you think?)
Here I am standing
saying please be careful
out there.
I know every year
around this time I break
into my careful driving
plea and I am continuing
to stick to tradition after
what I have seen and
experienced. I will begin with downtown
Clarkston which is a great place to venture
especially when the weather is nice. Not
only checking out the shops and the
restaurants but also taking the family to
Depot Park. Not only are people walking
through downtown but there are many
bicycling as well.
We have seen it too many times pedestrians trying to cross the street, not
only in Clarkston but other places, a driver
isn't paying attention to them or even what
other drivers are doing. Luckily at the last
minute, they are able to stop.
It's not just with pedestrians, it happens
with other drivers. Too often within the last
few weeks I have witnessed drivers turning
in front of others. It could be a combination
of reasons - being in a hurry, believing they
have enough time or being distracted.
Distraction is a huge factor. Anyone
could be distracted without realizing it. It
could be changing the radio station, a child
in the backseat or children, sending a text
message or checking an email. Just be
careful out there of them - they aren't paying
attention.
Kudos to the drivers looking out for
one another especially during
construction season. We will all make it to
where we need to be just by looking out
for one another.
***
I ventured to Novi last week - I couldn't
help it. The Great Lakes Mega Meet for
scrapbooking was calling me. It only took
a few hours but when I left my wallet was
empty and my bag filled with supplies. It
only took me a short amount of time
because I skip the stamps and the classes.
Its just now having the time.
A call to make views known on city project

Dear Editor,
I am writing to appeal to the residents of
the City of Clarkston to speak out to the
Clarkston City Council about the proposed
Department of Public Works (DPW) addition
to city hall.
The planned addition is too large, too expensive, and not needed. While the project
is still out for bids so no one knows exactly
what the proposed addition will cost, the architect and facilities committee have been
quoting numbers adding up to around
$442,000, including financing.
This is almost as much money as the city
collects in property taxes in a year from the
residents and businesses! We are too small
of a community for this kind of expense.
I am not advocating that we dissolve the
city, as some have suggested.
I am advocating the city pursue all options, which may range from a much smaller
addition, to allowing the current DPW director to outsource large portions of the services.
The city council scheduled a special meeting for Monday, May 16, at 7 p.m. at City
Hall, 375 Depot Street, Clarkston., to look at
bids for the construction.
City residents need to let the city council
know we do not want any bids accepted.
One official recently stated only about 10
residents were opposed to the addition. I
hope we can demonstrate many more residents have questions or are opposed to this
very expensive and unnecessary project.
Thank you,
Sue Wylie

Fixin the Model A
This Jottings first was published on

Thursday, April 8, 1971.
One night last week I tightened the
last nut on an engine overhaul on my
wifes Model A.
I was rejoicing that I had completed
several hours of auto repair work in recent weeks without scrubbing the skin
off a knuckle.
Then I discovered one last loose nut
around the timing device. You guessed
it! First finger, left hand.
Incidentally, the A didnt start. I
didnt expect it to, only hoped. My auto
mechanical ability is limited to asking a
mechanic to check out something that
sounds like so and so.
Im great at naming sounds-like
noises.
I tackled the A only because Ive

heard for years how you can fix them
with a hairpin or baling
Jims
wire.
Jottings
Thats a bunch of
malarky. The list of
people I called for help
and tools goes on forever, including Ross
Tope, Gail Shafer and
Kelley Stewart of Oxford, Bill Rausch of
Clarkston and men in
a column by
Davison, Port Huron and
Jim Sherman Chicago.
I consulted the
Model A Service Manual and Owners
Handbook of Repair and Maintenance,
parts catalogues and talked to anyone I
thought old enough to have driven a

Model A.
I learned one thing early. You need
tools to repair an A.
Spring lifters, piston ring clamps,
valve grinders and compound, and assorted hand tools that were always on
the other side of the car.
I broke a bolt off the oil pan and one
off a cover on the manifold side. It was
then after 11 p.m. The threads of the bolt
are still in the engine block, but it doesn't
leak.
Of course, as I said, it isnt running
yet either.
I did pick up a lot of auto mechanic
language. Most of it is very much like a
printers language when things arent
going well.

A bust on Naked Gardening Day

I admit I am, at times, overly zealous in my enthusiasms. And, sometimes, even in public speaking
roles, I can get on a roll where what comes out of my
mouth is as much a surprise to my ears as to all those
other hearing ears not attached to my head.
Sometimes I just get too excited. I want to share. I
want to get in and just do it . . . and thats when my
troubles usually begin.
At our small business networking Dont
group, ClarkstonCoffeeClub.com,

last Thursday morning the meeting
ended with the usual stuff of note
which are upcoming.
Someone said, Its Cinco De
Mayo today.

And, I said something like, I love

A column by

Don Rush
Which lead to me adding, You
may not know this, but Saturday is World Naked
Gardening Day. Hoeing and tilling and seed planting
encouraged.
I slinked away and tried to exit as unnoticed as
possible.
* * *
Ive tried to build up World Naked Gardening Day
(WNGD) ever since that fateful day last year when
my old buddy, old pal Lake Orion Police Chief Jerry
Narsh brought it to my attention.
It sounded like an interesting idea. I went back
and searched the archives in the hallowed halls of
DontRushMedom and confirmed last WNGD the
weather in these parts was perfect.

Wrote I, World Naked Gardening Day -- this past
Saturday -- was an awesome day for getting out in the
yard to weed, turn over the compost pile and just get
dirt under your finger nails. Blue sky, white fluffy
clouds.
Saturday was warm, sunny and breezy. The bumble
bees were bumbling; the gnats where gnatting and there
were not too many mosquitos.
I dont normally describe anything this way, but it
was damned near perfect. I love this time of year for
all those reasons I mentioned and you better believe I
was out and rooting around in the dirt. (If you were to
look at my finger nails now, you see some of the garden soil is still with me, even as I type.)
This years weather was looking promising. As late
as Thursday, I heard this past Saturdays weather was
gonna be sunny and 70. Bam! Perfect day to get out
and be one under the sun with nature au naturale.
Alas, it wasnt to be. It was a little chilly out. Cloudy.
Rainy.
Of course, that may explain why my neighbors were
out Thursday and Friday dancing around a fire, waving their arms and chanting up to the sky. Their rain
dance was successful in keeping the bad moon from
rising over in my yard.
* * *
Maybe they thought I was really, seriously gonna
do it this past Saturday. In truth, I dont think gardening in the nude is such a great idea.
Aside from the aesthetics of a pasty white dude glowing in the sunlight, gardening requires the use of a lot
of sharp tools like shovels, saws, shears, clippers, nippers, cloppers and other things that just thinking about
shivers me timbers.
Besides with all that bending over the chances of
me getting a sun burn were the sun aint spose to
shine is about 100 percent.
This is in sharp contrast to what the WNGD folks
say about gardening in your birthday suit. I went to
that bastion of truthiness, Wikipedia and found this:
According to organizers, besides being liberating, nude gardening is second only to swimming as
an activity that people are most ready to consider
doing nude.
Interesting, I always considered the Number One
thing to do in the nude, is bathing, followed by other
things.
Also, organizers cited the fringe benefits of
bare, unabashed recreation as the attractiveness
of an all-over tan and more vitamin D on your
whole body. I have one word for them, Melanoma.
I am also sure these are the same folks who support and push World Naked Bike Riding Day. Yeeeouch, that does not sound comfortable.
* * *
So, I was gonna buy one of those selfie stick to
attach to my cellphone/camera which lets you hold
your camera away from you to take a picture. I
planned on setting up a fake shot of me nakedly gardening -- standing behind a fence with my shirt off,
holding a hoe -- and then post it on Facebook. But,
dangnabit! The weather foiled my evil course of action.
Maybe next year, if youre lucky, I can make it
happen!

Q. How often do I have to brush my teeth with braces?

A. The recommendation is to brush and floss after every meal and
before going to bed. How well you brush and the amount of time
spent brushing is very important. Brushing and flossing are especially
important when you have braces because food can get caught in the
braces and cause cavities. It is also recommended to brush with a
fluoride gel in and attempt to avoid cavities, or use a fluoride rinse
after brushing. Fluoride gel products are not available from your
pharmacist without a prescription.

close spaces in between your teeth and you already like the color and shape of your teeth, then
orthodontics or invisalign may be the best solution. If your teeth are discolored and you have tried
whitening products or procedures wtihout success, then porcelain veneers would be an excellent
option. If you have multiple front teeth that are chipped, broken, or appear stained due to old
tooth colored bonding, veneers can be an ideal option for you to consider. Remember to always be
sure to clearly communicate with your dentist on what your specific aesthetic goals are for your
smile.

Q. What is identity theft and how can I

protect myself?
A. Identity theft or identity fraud is the taking of someone elses identity to obtain credit,
credit cards from bank and retailers, steal money from existing accounts, apply for loans,
establish accounts with utility companies, rent an apartment, file bankruptcy or obtain a
job using the victims name. Most Homeowners and Business insurance policies make this
coverage available as an option or may include it in their policy without additional
charge. The coverage is intended to reimburse the expense incurred to restore an
individuals or businesss identity. Costs to restore your identity can be as high as $30,000
to $40,000 in some cases. The cost of coverage can be as little as $30.00 to $50.00 per
year. Contact us with any questions. Walt Renn 248-627-2020 Email:

Hitters shine in tournament

BY WENDI REARDON
Clarkston News Sports Writer
The Wolves dominated the field on Saturday as they went 3-0 to win the Nathan
Manuel Memorial tournament.
It was a great week, said Phil Price, head
coach for Clarkston Varsity Baseball.
The boys opened the day with a 6-1 win
over Our Lady of Lakes.
Zach Scott, Cam Hadley and Jack Muhleck
went 2-for-3 hitting. Scott had three RBIs
and Hadley hit a double.
Brenden Quick pitched for seven innings
and had one hit and four strikeouts in his 74
pitches.
They went on to beat Birmingham Groves,
5-4. During the first inning, the Wolves defense stopped Groves first three batters. Anthony Reiner struck the first player out. Kyle
Harvey caught a throw from Muhleck to tag
a hitter out at first and Joe Halligan caught a
hit in the outfield ending the top of the first
inning.
The Wolves had one run in the bottom of
the first inning with an RBI from Muhleck.
They scored again in the second inning with
three runs and broke the tied game in eighth
inning with one run. Jack Kuczmanski hit a
double and went 3-for-3. Kuczmanski, Scott,
Muhleck and Reiner had one RBI each.
Halligan hit 3-for-4.
We have some hitters doing well Jack
Muhleck, Zach Scott and Jack and Joe
Kuczmanski are really hitting the ball well,
said Price.
Kuczmanski threw five innings and had
one hit and two strikeouts. Reiner pitched
for two innings with one hit and two

strikeouts and Joe Kuczmanski threw for one
inning with three hits and two strikeouts.
Reiner and Joe Kuczmanski are pitching
really well for us - that always helps when
you have pitchers helping out, Price added.
We have players like Jack Kuczmanski stepping up. He plays third and is also doing a
little pitching for us. They are playing good
defense. Hadley is outstanding fielder and
Barak Momrik, our catcher, is doing very well
for us.
They won another close game against
Walled Lake Northern, 4-3, with two runs in
the third inning. Halligan went 3-for-3 with
two RBIs and Scott went 2-for-2. Muhleck
and Jack Kuczmanski had one RBIs each.
Tryston Lajiness pitched three innings
and had four hits and one strikeout. Ryan
Barber threw for three innings and had two
hits and two strikeouts.
The Wolves defeated Brandon on
Thursday, 13-3 and 13-8.
We started to play a little bit better and
got two wins, said Price.
Jack Kuczmanski had three RBIs, Hadley
and Harvey had two RBIs and Nick
Schaldenbrand had one RBI during the night.
They went 1-2 in a 3-game series against
Rochester Adams with a 2-1 win on May 2.
The Wolves opened the week with a
double header against Oxford. They head to
the Wildcats field on Wednesday to
complete the 3-game series. Then, head to
Waterford Kettering on Thursday.
We still have quite a bit of baseball left.
Hopefully we keep going, said Price.

competitive mile."
Elizabeth Dalrymple not only finished in
first place but also set a new record at 5:03.23,
beating the previous record of 5:17.
"It was a huge improvement on the
record," Breen said. "The Golden Triangle
was a big success. We had mostly positive
things to come out of there."
Mallory Ferguson also beat the previous
record finishing in second, 5:13.04; and Emily
Ferguson finished in fourth place, 5:24.97.
For the boys, Nathan Murray finished in
eighth place in the freshman 1,600-meter run,
4:45.79. Jeremy Cavallo, Grant Schreiber and
Eric Raines also finished in the top 55.
Another highlight was the 3,200-meter
relay team of Nicole Hanson, Dalrymple, and
the Ferguson sisters set a personal best,
9:28.03.
"It was the fastest I have coached," said
Breen. "A huge part of that was Nicole broke
2:20 in the relay which was a personal best
for her."
For other relays, Allie Eriksen, Jala Smith,
Lauren Feeko, Kayla Russell finished eighth,
800-meter; Smith, Eriksen and the Ferguson
sisters finished 11th place in the 1,600-meter;
Makayla Owens, Smith, Feeko, Russell

"We knew we had the fire power," said

Breen. "We just wanted to get through it
healthy, win both meets and get ready for
the next opportunity - which was Friday. "
He added, given the rain conditions they
also minimized how much they ran everyone.
They finished in the three spots in the
100-meter dash with Russell, first, 12.8;
Smith, second, 13.1; and Feeko, third, 13.4.
They also swept the 200-meter dash with

second 27.8; and Feeko, third, 28.4.

swept the high jump, tying and four-foot.

300-meter hurdles, 52.5 and Olivia
McKinney, third place at 53.3.
Both teams head to the OAA Red
Championship this Thursday at Rochester
Adams.
"The girls are itching to get in and run
fast times," said Breen. "We will have to be
choosey on what we run and what we do
best at and make sure we are fired up and
ready to go."
He added the boys will face the challenge
of going against Lake Orion. Clarkston's
strength is they have depth and can place in
third to eighth place to score points.
"We can make up for someone having a
really good runner if we can make up in
numbers," Breen said. "What we need from
our guys is for them to step up and we need
them to score."

Connecting the dots

Pat Kittle
Township Supervisor
Making the community more walkable
by creating a safety path network to tie
the community together is the primary
goal of the Safety Path Team, Connecting the Dots, so to speak.
However, recent projects have been
far and few between
due to funding shortages. With the decision
a couple of years ago by
the Township Board to
levy the full amount of
the approved Safety
Path millage, fund balances have increased to
the point where the
Township
Team is ready to tackle
Supervisor
several big projects this
Pat Kittle
year. The easy stuff has
been done over the years. Its the tough
projects (as in expensive) that are left.
Sashabaw -- Between the North
and South Independence Oaks Park
Entrances
The Township and Oakland County
Parks entered into an agreement to jointly
construct a safety path along Sashabaw
linking the North and South Independence Oaks County Park entrances.
Right now no safety path exists in this
part of the Township and residents have
to walk along the shoulder on Sashabaw.
This joint initiative was unanimously approved by both the Township and County
Parks Boards. Total cost of the project
is $1.2M. Township contribution is
$600K. Its great to be able to partner
with the County Parks and leverage their
money to patch a large hole in our safety
path system.
Clintonville -- Between Maybee
and Waldon Roads
This stretch of Clintonville has been
248
625-5111
identified as a high risk area due to high

pedestrian volumes and high speed vehicular traffic by the Oakland County Sheriffs
Department. Phase One: The RCOC
will be cleaning the drainage culverts that
currently run the length of the east side of
the road to get rid of the phragmites and
other invasive species. Phase Two: When
that job is complete, our engineering firm,
HRC, and the Safety Path Manager will
begin the process of laying out plans for a
path along this stretch of roadway that is
primarily swamp and marsh. Phase
Three: Actual construction -- hopefully
in late fall. Estimated total costs as of
today are around $700K.
Pine Knob Lane -- Between
Maybee Road and the ITC Corridor
Pine Knob Lane borders the property
where the Sashabaw Middle School and
North Sashabaw Elementary Schools reside and guess what , no safety path. This
stretch of roadway is only about 1,000 feet
or so and is relatively easy being flat and
without any easement restrictions. Timing: This summer. Cost estimated at
$40,000.
Projects on the horizon
Waldon Pedestrian Bridge Over I75 -- Between the entrance to Pine

Knob Golf Course & Sashabaw Road
As reported in an earlier issue of The
Clarkston News, the proposal to have the
Township partner with MDOT and the
State of Michigan to construct a safety
path and pedestrian bridge over I-75 at
Waldon Road was approved by the Township Board after a couple hours of serious
discussion and finally reaching agreement
to reduce the Township contribution by
$600K.
The total cost of this project is estimated
at $4.1M. The Township contribution will
be $1.5M split between the General Fund
($1M) with the balance being covered by
contributions from the Safety Path Fund

Balance and sponsorships. The remaining $2.6M in costs will be covered by
state grants that have just been applied
for and with MDOT. Timing of this
project is 2018 and predicated on grant
approval.
North Sashabaw Road Widening
- Between Flemings Lake and
Clarkston Roads
A proposal will soon be presented to
the Board to consider co-funding the
Engineering Construction plans with the
RCOC for widening Sashabaw with two
northbound lanes, two southbound lanes
and a center turn lane.
The cost of the Engineering Construction plans are $400,000 which will be
split evenly between the Township and
the Road Commission at $200K each.
This will be an expensive project requiring cooperation with multiple government and private groups. Funding
sources are being identified now for the
road widening. As part of this project
safety paths as well as a sewer main
will also be included into the construction plans.
It just doesnt make sense to put in a
new safety path until the roadway
project is complete. And it doesnt make
sense to put in a new roadway until a
new sewer main is installed.
Partners in the project include: DTE
Music Theater, the Road Commission,
the Township, the Sashabaw Corridor
Improvement Authority (CIA), Pine
Knob Golf Course and the land owners
along the west side of Sashabaw. This
project has a lot of moving pieces that
is going to require a lot of cooperation
from all concerned parties. Any Township contribution will be reimbursed with
future Sashabaw Corridor Improvement
Authority funds. Timing: 2018/2019.
I will keep you all posted as developments happen.
Coyotes
among us
From the Michigan
DNR Wildlife Division
With the recent coyote sightings in the
Township, we called the State DNR and
asked for advice to pass to our residents.
The following was forwarded to my office.
Coyote hunting and trapping seasons
are available statewide. Details on season dates and bag limits can be found in
the current Hunting and Trapping Digest,
found online at www.michigan.gov/
dnrdigests. If problems exist outside
regular seasons, coyotes can be killed without a hunting license on private land by
the landowner or a designee if the coyote
is doing or about to do damage to private
property, pets, livestock, or humans. BePlease see Coyotes on Page 3

A star is born!
By Lauren Culver, Exec.

Producer Independence Television
On March 11, Clarkston High
School students participated in the first
ever 48 Hour Film Competition! Independence Television hosted the event.
The 48 Hour Film Competition is an
event where participants are to write,
shoot and edit a short film in 48 hours,
just two short days. The competition
started promptly at 3 p.m. on Friday
and continued throughout the weekend.
Each film had to incorporate five elements (a line of dialogue, theme, location, camera element, and a prop).
These were given out at the start of
the competition. A total of five teams
each completed a film that averaged
around 3-7 minutes in length.
The films were then sent off to four
professionals in the broadcast industry
to analyze, critique and give a score
out of 30 points. Three of the judges
currently work in Los Angeles, one of
which was a previous Producer at Independence Television, Matt Herron.
Films were judged based on Design,

High to present each of the five films.
The event reflected an Oscar style theme
where attendees dressed to impress! An
award ceremony followed after the
screenings. Students had a chance to win
in categories for Best Film, Director,
Editing, Actor/ Actress, Screenplay, Cinematography, and more. It was a tight
race between each category. However,
the student film titled, Strangers on the
Playground, stole the show! The film
won for categories Best Directing, Editing, Cinematography, Screenplay, and
Best Film.
This group was led by Senior, Justin
Dickerson, who also won Best Actor for
his role in the film. Kendal Exelby won
Best Actress for her role in the film she
co-wrote and directed. The junior student team led by Garrison Sigmon,
Michael Sanker, and Trevor Heasley won

Quick thinking
saves lives
By Lt Dirk Feneley,
County Sheriffs Department
Oakland County has a new tool to
assist with saving lives. The Oakland County Sheriffs Office and the
Independence Fire Department are
now using a drug called Narcan to
help with certain drug overdoses.
Narcan or Naloxone is a medication used to block the effects of opioids, especially in overdoses. When
given intravenously, it works within
two minutes, and when injected into
a muscle, it works within five minutes.
The medication may also be used
in the nose in a spray form. The effects of naloxone last about half an
hour to an hour. Multiple doses may
be required, as the duration of action
of most opioids is greater than that of
naloxone.
The Sheriffs Department started
the use of Narcan with the road patrol deputies in January of 2015. There
are approximately 125 deputies that
are certified in the administration of
the Narcan drug kits. Since its inception Deputies have used the Narcan
kits 21 times to date with 20 successful saves.
Of that total number of incidents
where Narcan was administered, two
have occurred in 2016. In addition
to the Sheriffs Office, Independence
Township Fire Department has had
six incidents that have required the
use of the Narcan kits within Independence Township. The Sheriffs
Office currently plans to have its entire road patrol certified in the administration of the Narcan kits by the end
of 2016.
NOHAZ drop off

days & locations
Where does all the junk come from?
You know what I mean & the half-filled
paint cans, old computers, a rusted out
barbeque, gallons of used motor oil, old
pieces of carpeting and more that magically seems to end up in your garage every spring. Thats why the Township is
a member of Oakland Countys NOHAZ
program & to give you a place to safely
dispose of this stuff.
Membership allows Township residents to participate in four collection dates
throughout the area.
So whats the cost you ask? Just ten
bucks to offset the costs. The $10 fee
will be collected at events in exact cash
or a check payable to Oakland County
NoHaz.
Coyotes among us,

fore beginning any hunting or trapping
activities, please check with local ordinances to determine if
these activities are allowed in your area. For
safety, be sure to adhere
to the safety zones around
any homes or buildings.
(In Independence, a firearm may not be discharged within 450 of a
residence and only in certain designated areas.)
If hunting or trapping are allowable
in your area but you do not wish to take
part in these activities yourself, trappers from the Michigan Trappers and
Predator Callers Association may be
able to help. You can learn more about

their landowner assistance program at:
www.mtpca.com/landowner.
In many urban areas, (like
Independence Township)
hunting or trapping may not
be allowed. In this case, specially permitted nuisance control companies can be hired
to assist landowners in the
safe removal of problem animals.
A list of companies are
available at www.michigan.gov/wildlife

By Pat Kittle,
Township Supervisor
We are pleased to introduce Derek
Smith as the Townships new Director of the Parks, Recreation & Seniors
divisions. Derek brings 16 years of professional experience in the parks and
recreation field and holds a Bachelor
of Applied Arts in Parks and Recreation Administration from Central
Michigan University. Derek has been
a Certified Parks and Recreation Professional (CPRP) since 1999 and has
ongoing participation in the states association and partnered organizations.
As the Recreation Supervisor for
Novi Parks, Recreation and Forestry,
Derek administered youth and adult
sports programs, community special
events, and summer camps. As a
member of the Walkable Novi Committee, he played a key role integrating non-motorized connectibility for the
community. Derek also orchestrated
Novis 2007-2010 Cultural Services
Strategic Plan.
Most recently, Derek was employed as the Director of Southeastern Livingston County Recreation
Authority (SELCRA) in Brighton.
SELCRA emerged as a leading authority on recreation services within
the regions communities under his
guidance. Due to Dereks shifting of
the authority through education, partnerships and entrepreneurial business
continued
March. If there is a den nearby, people
may also see the adults throughout the
summer as they care for their pups. As
fall approaches, pups begin dispersing
from the den site to establish home
ranges of their own. These young dispersing animals are sometimes more visible. Coyotes are active day and night;
however, peaks in activity occur at sunrise and sunset.
In urban or suburban areas, coyotes
will take advantage of the small mammals and birds that bird feeders and gardens often attract. They may even eat
some of the fruits and veggies too. Coyotes are opportunistic feeders and have
a keen sense of smell. Garbage or pet
food that is left out overnight may also
draw their attention. If there are coyotes in the area, eliminating these potential food sources may make the area less
appealing to them.
For your safety

n NEVER intentionally feed or try to
tame coyotes it is in your and the
coyotes best interest! It is critical that
they retain their natural fear of people.
n Keep small pets indoors, or accompany them outside and keep them on a
leash.
n If you see a coyote in your area, try to
scare it off by yelling, clapping or making other loud noises. Most coyotes are
naturally afraid of people and will leave
if you frighten them.
n Remember, coyotes, like any wild animal, can act unpredictably and should
be treated with respect.
Coyotes are incredibly smart and adaptable critters that have learned to survive
in just about any habitat -- including human created habitats. There are simple
ways for you to be coyote SMART.
Derek Smith
practices, SELCRA earned local and
state recognition for its success as a
multi-jurisdictional recreation authority.
Derek is well known as a passionate leader who advocates for community success through capitalizing on a
communitys assets, inspiration, and
potential with the intention of creating
public spaces that promote peoples
health, happiness and well-being
through the qualities of parks and recreation. Please join us in welcoming
Derek to our community!
Just remember SMART

Safe to enjoy from a distance.
Make noise if they are too close.
Accompany pets outside.
Remove bird feeders -- these attract
small birds and mammals -- a coyotes

natural food!
Take in the trash, pet foods and other
possible attractants.

Quarterly investment report

By Paul A Brown,
Township Treasurer
For the quarter ending March 31, 2016,
the Township has seen improvements in
investment opportunities. Investments in
callable Federal Agency products with
stepped up interest rates have resulted in
better than average short term interest
when being called at the first step up period.
A review of the US Treasury yield curve
indicates that rates decreased in the 1st
quarter while the Townships average yield Paul Brown,
increased. As discussed previously, our Township
strategy focus is on protection of prin- Treasurer
ciple and liquidity.
Portfolio value: $37,825,152
Average Weighted Maturity: 2.75 Years
Average Weighted Yield: 1.32%
Benchmark Yield (1 Year T-bill): .59%
This report is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements as established under Public Act 20 of 1943.
Speeders
Beware!
Pat Kittle,
Township Supervisor
It only took almost a year. And we only had to
get the State of Michigan Attorney Generals Office, State Representative Jim Tedder, the office
of Senator Jim Marleau, the Michigan State Police
Department, as well as the
Road Commission of Oakland
County to put their collective
heads together to come up with
what I thought was a very
simple decision. Make the
speed limit on Pine Knob Lane
between Maybee Road and
Pine Knob Trail the same as
both platted subdivisions located
on either side of the road.
The official requirement is that a residential
street located within a platted subdivision should
be posted 25 MPH. This particular section of Pine
Knob Lane is actually a border street between two
platted subdivisions and technically falls outside of
the provisions of what the street speed limit should
be posted. It took a little longer than expected, but
in the end, good news. The speed limit is now
officially posted at 25 MPH.

Students honored for citizenship

BY PHIL CUSTODIO
Clarkston Area Optimists Club honored
Outstanding Student Citizens from Bailey
Lake and North Sashabaw elementary
schools, April 27, at Clarkston United
Methodist Church.
This is something Im really excited to
be a part of, something I look forward to
every year, said Bailey Lake Principal
Glenn Gualtieri, who honored fifth grader
Aaron Ludwig with the award at the
breakfast ceremony.
Family is important to Aaron, Gualtieri
said. He likes math because it makes his
brain work and is something he uses every
day even outside school.
He also enjoys sports, the principal said.
Basketball is his main thing, he said.
He aspires to be a basketball player, but if
not he would like to do something with his
hands.
Asked about his goals, the student said
he wants to live a long time and have a good

life, Gualtieri said.
His teacher, Carol Barber, said the fifth
grader embodies the Optimist Creed of being
your best.
He has such sincere empathy for his
peers. He thinks only of the best, Barber said.
I see that determined attitude every day.
It makes my heart smile, said Natalie
Ludwig, his mother, who was there with dad
Brian Ludwig and Aarons brother, Trevor
Ludwig.
He opens the car door for me every
morning, Natalie said. Hes always
thinking one step ahead.
Aaron is a great kid. He works hard every
day, Brian said.
Im really happy, Aaron said.
Kate Jordan, North Sashabaw Elementary
interim principal, said Nathan Jenkinson
was an easy choice for the honor.
Nathan is a leader in the building, the
perfect nomination for North Sashabaw
Elementary," Jordan said. He is a proactive,

deep thinker. He's engaged, and makes all
his friends feel something in them. He's
always making connections.
When I look up at the creed, I see
Nathan, said his teacher Erin Kuhn. He's
so strong. He's learned and lives the Seven
Habits.
He shows true kindness to all and is an
integral part of the school, the teacher said.
Its rare to see such a level of integrity,
she said.
He is a school safety, assisting students
in and out of school, and is also in Alpha
Club and competes in the Geography bee
and battle of the books.
Im very proud, said Stephanie
Jenkinson, Nathans mother. Hes been
through a lot. He's always been very strong.
Im very happy about it, Nathan said.
I cant explain how much I want to thank
teachers. They taught me to work hard and
get better through the years.

Eighth grade students in teacher

Allie Browe's English Language Arts
classes at Clarkston Junior High
School are writing activism articles in
their argument writing unit, and we're
publishing some of their top articles.
This week, Jacqueline Dunahay presents the case for a larger world response to hunger.
World hunger is one of the worlds
major epidemics and it is getting worse
every day. Some 795 million people in
the world dont have
enough food to lead a
healthy, active life; that is
every 1 in 9 people,
reports the World Food
Programme.
Most of these people
could have an amazing
future helping the world
grow and prosper. If we
let just one of these By Jacqueline
people starve, then we Dunahay
are abandoning one soul
who could have made a difference in the
present day and even the future.
Since so many people in developing
countries are hungry, more privileged
people should be compelled to help them
survive, and make a difference in the
world.
According to the World Food
Programme, poor nutrition causes nearly
half (45%) of deaths in children under 5,
which is 3.1 million children each year.
To say the least, this is inhumane.
As humans, we should make it a major
priority to make sure our fellow men and
women who are struggling feel as though
they have a chance to survive and have
a bright future. Maybe not for ourselves,
but for the future of our children and their
children because frankly, with all of the
worlds problems, were going to need
all of the help we can get.
At a whole, 3.1 million children, with
so many great minds and ideas, will be
lost to starvation. My church, Kensington,
raises money and food for people in needy
countries who are hungry. Seeing what
they do in those countries, like building
wells and farming, really inspires me and
makes me see God and the kindness and
humanity in the world.
Sixty percent of the worlds hungry
are women. This in turn impacts their
children.
A mother who suffers from hunger
and malnourishment has an increased risk
of suffering complications during
childbirth or giving birth to an
underweight baby, which can mean

irreversible physical and mental stunting
right from childbirth, reports Mercy
Corps.
Not only is hunger killing off the living
potential of grown men, women, and
children, but now even the unborn are
affected by hunger, adding to the list of
futures and possibilities being taken by
this problem. More privileged people may
believe the money they make is theirs
because they work hard for it.
This is true; no one is forcing them to
donate or help this cause in any way, but
if people consider all of the possibilities
and saved lives that go along with this
cause, then all people capable of helping
should be compelled to help.
Three-hundred million children go
hungry every day, and most of them are
suffering
from
long-term
malnourishment, which leads to serious
health implications, and will keep them
from reaching their full potential.
Malnutrition causes stunting when
the body fails to fully develop physically
and mentally and increases a childs
risk of death and lifelong illness. A child
who is chronically hungry cannot grow
or learn to their full ability. In short, it
steals away their future, argues Mercy
Corps in What You Need to Know About
World Hunger.
There is so much human potential
being lost, and all it would take to save it
would be donations to build new farms
and wells. Is their future worth it? Is the
worlds future worth it? Its the question
you should ask yourself before you think
about helping this amazing cause. I think
it is worth it. The future success, survival,
and evolution of our world is worth it.
In conclusion, the people of the world
should be compelled to help world
hunger. We should have more
organizations and companies ready to
help. Everyday people doing something
small are like grains of sand on a beach,
but there would be no beach without
every little grain of sand.
We need to help these people . . . for
them, for ourselves, and for the future
of our world. Donate food, money,
water, or any type of helpful resource
you can, and we can solve world hunger
together.
Overall, I believe in kindness and
feeling the love and appreciation for a
cause where lives will be saved. So,
make a change in the world; lets fix
world hunger and ensure our future for
years to come.

interest in my life and her support in things

small and large convinced me that she
really did love me.
Thank you, Mom, for loving me
unconditionally.
I guess it was her faithfulness and love
that combined to give me stability.
Especially through my rocky teenage
years, my mom was my rock. I could
always find stability and security in her
presence. Thank you, Mom, for being
my rock.
Maybe you mothers out there feel
overworked and under-appreciated you
certainly are underpaid!
I want you to know that God has given
you the most important job in the world!
Dont ever apologize for being just a
mom.
You may work at some big company
and have some big job and thats fine
but the most important thing youll ever
do in your life is raise kids and train kids
who will grow up to be men and women
of character.
Proverbs 31:10-31 is a tribute to wives
and mothers. Verse 28 says, Her
children rise and call her blessed; her
husband also, and he praises her.
I dont have the privilege of calling up
my mother to praise her. If you do, dont
waste another minute. Pick up the phone,
or go visit her. Rise up and call her
blessed.
Thankfully, I am a husband; and my
wife is an awesome mother to our two
children. They are both grown and
married now, and we have entered a
new season of grandparenthood.
So I gladly rise and praise her. Thank
you, honey, for being a faithful, loving,
wife and mother, who brings such
stability to my life. Many women do
noble things, but you surpass them all.
(Proverbs 31:29)

Thank your mother

Some kids were asked some questions
about motherhood. Here are their
creative responses:
Why did God make mothers?
Shes the only one who knows where
the scotch tape is.
How did God make
Spiritual
Mothers?
Matters
God made my mom
just the same like he made
me. He just used bigger
parts.
Why did God give you
your mother and not
some other mom?
God knew that she
Greg
likes me a lot more than Pastor
Henneman
other peoples moms like
me.
Why did your mom marry your dad?
My grandma says that mom didnt
have her thinking cap on.
Whats the difference between moms
and dads?
Moms work at work and work at
home, and dads just work at work.
Whats the difference between moms
and grandmas?
About 30 years.
I dont have the privilege of talking
with my mother anymore. She died in
1999 of a massive stroke on my 40th
birthday. She was sixty years old and in
good health, so it came as a complete
surprise. As I think about my mother
three words come to mind: faith, love,
and stability.
My mother was a faithful Christian.
She took my two sisters and me to church
faithfully every week. She modeled a
faithful Christian life to me.
I am a Christian today largely due to
her influence. Thank you, Mom, for being
a faithful Christian.
She was also loving. I knew my
mother loved me tremendously. She not
only told me so many times, but her

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) afflicts
approximately 1 in 88 children and is a primary contributor to Americas Epidemic: The
Childhood Behavioral Health Crisis as described in the book Over Medicating Our
Youth.
Over 12 million children and young adults
consume powerful ADHD stimulant and psychiatric medications representing a consumption rate three times the worlds children combined. The cumulative autism and ADHD diagnosis in young children presents difficult
challenges for millions of families across the
United States.
In an effort to uncover
the cause of autism, researchers at the University
of California-Davis Mind
Institute never gave up
contention many cases are
the result of an immune disorder. They released their
findings in July 2013 via the
Brain &Behavior Research
Foundation and in Translational Psychiatry stat- By Frank J.
ing approximately 25 per- Granett R.ph.
cent of autism cases may be
linked to specific maternal antibodies that
cross the placenta during pregnancy, attacking fetal protein brain development with 99
percent predictability.
Researchers identified seven target protein or antigen sites that the mothers autoantibodies bind. They include cypin, lactase
dehydrogenase A & B, STIP1, CRMP1,
CRMP2, and Y-box-binding protein. The effect of the mothers auto-antibodies and these
antigen sites may create a biomarker of cellular death. Cypin, for example, is one protein
that is important in linking neuron cells in the
hippocampus, the learning and memory center of the brain, to connect with other neuron
cells.
The research group also revealed autoantibodies injected into eight pregnant female rhesus monkeys created autism like
symptoms within the first two years of the
young monkeys lives.
Although this is encouraging research
which explains the cause of a significant number of autism cases, further testing is needed
prior to developing a human diagnostic test
in females to identify the autism inducing
auto-antibodies.
The lead researcher in this study holds
the auto-antibody patent and is a consultant
for Pediatric Bioscience, the company that
licensed the technology for development of
a diagnostic test within 18 months to detect
auto-antibodies in females. This research
also encourages development of new therapies to block specific auto-antibody targets
which may lower the incidence of autism at
birth due to maternal auto-antibodies at the
time of conception.
Recent studies indicate approximately 30
percent of all autism cases have a co-occurrence of ADHD symptoms, this new research
should also explain ADHD causation.
As a pharmacist with over 25 years specializing in ADHD stimulant and psychiatric
medications, there is a pharmacological link
between Autism Spectrum Disorder and
ADHD. Drug therapy used to alleviate, not
cure, autism and ADHD symptoms in many
cases are similar.
The research findings from the University of California-Davis Mind Institute is
groundbreaking, however the important question is why are pregnant women producing antibodies that turn rogue and attack fetal proteins critical in neuronal development?
Is there an environmental, nutritional or neurophysiological explanation that is genetically encoding a mothers immunity to become
toxic to her unborn child? Why is autism
and ADHD a mysterious epidemic only in
America?
Eliminating nutritional and environmental
risk factors are critical when considering pregnancy. An expecting mother requires a whole
foods diet free from toxins. Toxins are more
abundant in todays food supply, including
Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) crops
which proliferate the American landscape.
GMO crops contain bacterial genes which
allow survival after herbicide spraying.
The bacterial genes also produce Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt), an insect poison. If GMO
insect poisons, along with other environmental toxins accumulate in the expectant mothers blood, then an auto-immune response
by the fetus may explain why pregnant women develop harmful auto-antibodies causing
autism. Until further research validates GMO
foods safe for human consumption, expectant mothers should refrain from GMO foods.
The Institute for Responsible Technology
recommends foods from the Non-GMO
Shopping Guide. Additionally, the Coalition
Against Overmedicating Our Youth
(CAOOY) recommends enzymatic nutritional supplementation which can be found at
CAOOY.org to support a healthy body and
focused mind.
Learn how to help children with behavioral challenges develop a healthy body and
focused mind by eliminating nutritional, physiological and environmental risk factors prior
to premature drug therapy and prevent
our society from Over Medicating Our Youth.

plus years helping others and now its time

we help her," Wynn said. "She needs our
help to supplement her greatly reduced income during treatment."
Eiden continues to see patients in
between chemo and radiation treatments,
Wynn said.
"For those of us who know her well,
asking for help is not something that comes
easily for her," her friend said. "Whether you
give money, prayers or good thoughts, we
appreciate your kindness."
The response has been overwhelming,
Eiden said.
I'm blown away, she said. Thank you
is not enough.
Support from friends and the community
make an enormous difference in making it
through day by day, she said.
"You dont realize how important it is,
bringing food, sending a text" she said. "It's
a huge pick-me-up."
Eiden was born and raised in Clarkston,
and graduated from Clarkston High School
in 1986. She has been a nurse for 25 years,
specializing in wound care with OCC Highland and Evergreen Health Services.
Relay for Life is noon to midnight, May
14, kicking off with the Survivor Lap,
followed by refreshments for survivors and
their caretakers.
The event will also include fun family
activities, and music including a live
performance from local band Sail. A
Luminaria Ceremony will be at dusk.
Check RelayForLife.org/clarkstonmi for

Event Lead Amy Laboissonniere, 248-6258223 or amyl@indetwp.com.
Bids on city project

Continued from page 1
home to the city police department, which

has since been disbanded.
The site plan for the addition in Depot
Park was approved 4-3 on April 11. Council
members Michael Sabol, Eric Haven, and
Sharron Catallo, and Mayor Joe Luginski
voted "yes." Council members David Marsh,
Al Avery, and Jason Kneisc voted "no."
Expenses so far include $23,000 in architectural and design fees. Options in the plan
include different exterior materials and renovation of an existing garage bay into a meeting room, office, and bathroom facilities.
When the city ended its lease of 3 E.
Church in 2012, it was paying $1,500 a month
in rent, and about $25,000 in utilities and maintenance.
When first proposed in 2012, estimated
cost of the project was $100,000 to $125,000.
Concerned citizens collected 116 signatures on a petition last July, calling for reconsideration of the project.
The city has about 880 residents.

Wolves cap week with 22-6 win

BY WENDI REARDON
The Wolves are closing in on the end of
the season and defeated three foes last week
including two league foes.
"They are playing very well," said
Clarkston Boys Varsity Lacrosse Head
Coach. "They are back on track and focused.
They had good wins against two OAA teams.
We had a nice win against Plymouth."
The Wolves opened the week with a close
game against Birmingham Unified on May 3,
7-6.
Nick Bowman opened the game with the
first goal off a pass from Ian Phillips in the
first quarter.
Bowman and and Phillips scored two more
goals with assists from Tommy Atchison to
put the score, 3-0.
Birmingham tied it before the end of the
first half and took the lead with two more
goals.
Liam Stickle broke the lead with 10:21
remaining in the game before Birmingham
tied it up. Keaton Mitchell made the game

winning goal with one minute left in the game.
They also defeated Troy Athens last
Thursday, 12-4.
Bowman led with six goals. Mitchell added
four goals and had one assist. Keelan
McKouen and Sheldon Bourdeau added one
goal each.
Aiden Nolan had two assists and Tommy
Atchison had one assist.
The Wolves topped the week with a 22-6
win over Plymouth on Saturday. They closed
the first half with 11 goals and Plymouth had
only scored four goals on Clarkston's net.
Fourteen players contributed during the
game. Bowman led with four goals and
Phillips and Nolan scored three goals each.
The boys opened the week against
Rochester Adams on Tuesday in their last
league game.
"They have been strong the last few
weeks," Kaminskas added. "We are
confident right now."
On Wednesday, the boys will also find
out who they will face in the first round of
MHSAA Pre-Regionals.
They head to Solon on Saturday, 2 p.m.
"Solon is pretty competitive and we have
a pretty good relationship with them," said
Kaminskas.
Then, head to Detroit Country Day next
Tuesday. JV begins at 5 p.m., varsity follows.

Emerald achievement for Independence El

BY PHIL CUSTODIO
Independence Elementary
earned Evergreen Status for
students' green initiatives this year.
The award is the highest in
Oakland Schools Michigan Green
Schools Program.
"I'm very proud of them, its a
real honor," said parent volunteer
Chelsea O'Brien.
It will help later in life, to be
green, said fifth grader Payton
McCracken, who said one of her
favorite projects was making
squirrel boxes.
"We made a hammock with a
blanket tied and hung from the
top," McCracken said.
"A teacher found an injured
squirrel at school and we
researched it," said fellow fifth
grader Christopher Bidinger.
Josiah Lipke, fifth grade
student, said they also planted and
tended gardens at the school, off
M-15 north of I-75.
"We used grass areas not being
used for anything," Lipke said.
They planted potatoes, carrots,
strawberries, sunflowers, chives,
basil, strawberries, and other plants,
O'Brien said.
"We put up a lot of deer fences,"
McCracken said.
And a deer feeder, someplace
for them to eat that isnt in the
garden. And I want to make a nice
place for coyotes to stay, said
Bidinger, who saw a coyote in the
woods and asked if they could
follow its tracks.
The students also worked on
recycling projects, reduced use of
paper in school offices, and planted
milkweed for butterflies.
"There were so many projects,"
said O'Brien, who volunteered
along with Camila Duarte. "All the
teachers and students worked all
year long on them."
"It makes school more
comfortable, a nice place, with all
the plants," Bidinger said.
It helps the whole school,
make it a better place for
everybody, a better learning
experience, Lipke said.
"The teachers come outside and
read, and can pick berries and eat
them," McCracken said.
They made circle seats from old
shirts for them to sit on.
"So you can sit in a spot and
keep from getting muddy," Lipke
said.
Being outside reduces stress
and helps one focus, O'Brien said.
As fifth graders, they'll go to

Sashabaw Middle School in the
fall. Before then, however, they are
brainstorming ideas for next year,
McCracken said.
Rain barrels for the garden,
she said.
Plant different trees, Bidinger
said.
Chicken pens, for chickens to
eat pests, Lipke said. Five years
from now, I want to help the
environment, make it so people
want to spend time outside by
setting a good example.
Other schools in Clarkston also
participated in the Michigan Green
Schools Program.
Clarkston Elementary and
Clarkston High School attained
Evergreen Status as well.
Anderson Elementary and
Clarkston Junior High School
earned Green School awards.
Categories for the Oakland
Schools Green Schools application
are
Recycling,
Energy,
Environmental Protection and
Miscellaneous, which includes
activities such as sponsoring an
endangered species, and hosting
environmental speakers, which
Independence Elementary did this
year.

BY PHIL CUSTODIO
An expanded city hall and DPW garage
may be on order next week after a special
meeting on Monday.
Bids are due this week on the threebay, 2,000-square-foot addition to the north
side of city hall in Depot Park. The project
is estimated at $335,785, about $440,000
with interest.
City Council voted unanimously at its
April 25 meeting to schedule a special meet-
ing for 7 p.m., May 16, at city hall, 375 Depot Street. The meeting to consider the
bids for the DPW addition is contingent
on getting bid information by this Friday.
The expansion would house the DPW
front-end loader, dump trucks, lift, street
sweeper, plows attachments, barricades,
and other tools and equipment, most of
which were previously kept at 3 E. Church
Street.

Amy Eiden of Springfield Township has
walked at Clarkston's Relay for Life for years,
supporting her friend Teresa Wynn's team.
On Saturday, May 14, walkers will hit the
track at Clarkston Junior High School for her,
as well as everyone else affected by cancer.
"It definitely has a different feel this year,"
said Eiden, who has been battling
Neuroendocrine cancer since January. "It's
all brand new, definitely huge. There are so
many different types of cancer, the only way
to get it is by fund raising."
It was around Christmas when she
discovered something was not right.
"It was weird, all of a sudden," she said.
"My lymph nodes were swollen and I had a
sore throat."
A self-administered breast exam revealed
a lump right away.
"I immediately called my doctor," she said.
After a mammogram and biopsy, she was
diagnosed on January 13.
"I thought it would be nothing there's
no history of cancer in my family," she said.
"This type of cancer is rare, a fraction of one
percent."
Chemotherapy and radiation followed,
both at the same time to treat the aggressive
form of cancer.
Radiation treatments have been Monday
through Friday since March, and
chemotherapy three days a week every three
weeks.
"It makes you sick. I lost all my hair," she
said. "I lost a lot of feeling in my fingers, got
the shakes in my hands, fatigue like I have
never felt before, a lot of nausea. Food tastes
different. A little bit of hearing loss."
Treatments should be complete by the
end of June.
"I hope it will. It depends on what they
find," she said.

Wynn, Kirsten Sande, and other friends
and neighbors have supported her
throughout the process.
"A fantastic support system of neighbors
and friends to help me keep plugging along,"
Eiden said. "If I need something, friends are
here with whatever I need."
Wynn set up a Go Fund Me page online,
called "Amy's Fight."
"As a nurse, she has spent the last 20Please see Relay on page 35
