BATH TWP. — Plans to create a specialdevelopment district along the Webster Roadcorridor are expected to move ahead over thenext few months.
The Township Board last week autho-rized staff to prepare an ordinance estab-lishing a Downtown Development Authoritydistrict along Webster, between I-69 andSleight Road.
Once the ordinance is adopted, a boardwill be appointed to create a developmentplan and decide how to fund infrastructureimprovements to foster development.
The ordinance could be introduced thisspring, but it may be a year or more before thenew board forms a development plan, town-ship officials said.
Along the way, township officials said theyexpect to hold informational sessions andgather input from residents about what they’dlike to see happen along Webster Road.
“I see a great deal of interaction with thecommunity,” township Superintendent TroyFeltman said.
A 1975 law allows communities to createDDAs as a tool to promote development with-in defined areas. Each DDA can choose fromseveral funding options, including a millageand a process known as tax increment financ-ing, which allows a public body to capturenew tax revenues from future development.
Creating the DDA won’t cause a tax in-crease for property owners in the district,township officials said.
Bath Township’s district would cover ar-eas along both sides of Webster from I-69 tojust north of Clark Road, and then north toSleight along both sides of Main Street.
For now, three of the largest taxing dis-tricts - Clinton County, Clinton County Tran-sit System and the Bath Community Schools- have opted out of the plan, meaning theydon’t want to lose future tax revenue to theproposed DDA.
But the law allows for some negotiation,and all three units have agreed to reconsiderwhen the DDA completes its proposal, Felt-man said.
DeWITT TWP. — A Novi woman remained in critical con-dition at Sparrow Hospital, days after her car collided with anoncoming vehicle on Clark Road on Feb. 4.

Supervisor Tom Schneider will appoint a board of eight to 12people to sit on the authority board.
Some residents still have questions about now the DDAwould work, Schneider said.
“Unless you’ve had experience (with a DDA), you prob-ably don’t know,” he said. “We’re hoping to hold some com-munity talks and be available to answer questions.”
Nine people spoke during a well-attended public hearingon the DDA in mid-November, including three who didn’t likethe idea and several who had questions, Schneider said.
In its Feb. 7 meeting, the Township Board also approveda 1-percent pay raise for the township supervisor, clerk and
treasurer in the new budget year.The Board had already passed a budget that includes a
1-percent raise for township employees. But board membershandled the raises for the three officers in separate resolu-tions.
Trustee Rick Curtis voted against the resolutions. Sch-neider, Treasurer Jeff Garrity and Clerk Kathleen McQueenabstained from voting on their respective raises.
The salaries hadn’t increased since 2007, when a 15 per-cent raise took effect.
The majority of the board believes the township’s financialsituation allows for a 1-percent raise for staff, and that the in-crease should be extended to the elected officials who workfull time for the township, Schneider said.

my appreciation to all that re-sponded to my 9-1-1 call onJan. 16 when our mother fellill at our home in Bath Town-ship.
The lady on the receivingend of my 9-1-1 call was verypolite and informative as towhat I could do to help ourmother. I am not sure I wasas polite with her and I apolo-gize to her if I was not. DonFuller, who lives just west ofour house, arrived within amatter of minutes of my calland took over for me. I amnot sure Don was even onduty, but he heard the call andcame to provide assistance.The Bath Township Fire De-partment arrived just minutesafter Don had arrived and im-mediately administered aid to
our mother. Bath TownshipPolice arrived also to pro-vide assistance. Mercy Ambu-lance arrived and transportedMom to Sparrow Hospitalwhere she was pronounceddeceased.
I appreciate everyone’s ef-fort to save Mom, but in myheart I believe it was her timeto pass on. She was a deter-mined lady during her life,probably at the time of herpassing also.

“With an Apostles Build, 12 congregationswork together to build a house with eachchurch responsible for 1/12 of the project,”explains Michelle Smith, president of Habitatfor Humanity of Clinton County. “As an Apos-tle, participating churches agree to provide$5,000 toward the cost of the build and alsoto provide volunteers for two weeks of thebuild,” says Smith.
Three representatives from Habitat for Hu-manity picked up a check from Rev. Greg Bu-chner, pastor of United Church of Ovid latelast week. The church is just two blocksaway from the intersection of Mill and Wil-liams where Habitat for Humanity plans tobuild its next house.
“I am personally excited to be a part ofthe effort, and I’m even more excited that ourchurch, The United Church of Ovid, is step-ping forward with other churches to make
the dream of home ownership happen for afamily this year, says Rev. Greg Buchner, pas-tor at United Church of Ovid.
United Church of Ovid was the first churchto sign on to be an Apostle church. BesidesUnited Church of Ovid, four other churcheshave stepped up to become Apostles andHabitat is actively seeking seven more.
The four other churches signed on to beApostles are:
• Salem, Lowe, Maple Rapids United Meth-odist Churches who are working together asone Apostle
• St. Jude Catholic Church (DeWitt)• St. Joseph Catholic Church (St. Johns)• First United Methodist (St. Johns)“This is a great opportunity for churches
looking for a mission project right in theirown backyard,” explains Smith, who becamepresident of the Habitat board in 2010. “Mov-ing a local family into home ownership is apowerful way to put your faith in action,”adds Smith.

BATH TWP. — Township officers had to dodge flyingobjects and a stray kick or two after responding to a do-mestic call at an apartment on Red Tail Drive.
A 39-year-old woman was arrested for resisting andobstructing police, and a 32-year-old Lansing man wasarrested on a child-support warrant during the incident,which occurred about 10:45 p.m. Feb. 3, police reportssaid.
The two officers arrived at the apartment to find ashattered wooden chair on a flight of stairs and couldhear the sounds of people yelling and glass breaking.
The man told an officer that he and the woman hadbeen drinking and that the woman began throwing itemsaround the apartment in a drunken rant.
As one of the officers tried to speak with her, thewoman flew into a rage and kicked the door of a hallwaycloset, the reports said. She threw a bar stool at a wallnear her daughter and a clock toward the other officer’shead.
While she was being handcuffed, the woman tried tokick her daughter in the face and one of the officers inthe leg. As they led her outside, she kicked again at theofficer and tried to spit in his face, the reports said.
The Lansing man was turned over the Ingham CountySheriff’s Office on the warrant. The woman was lodged
in the Clinton County Jail for resisting and obstructing.
Domestic assaultA 21-year-old woman was arrested for domestic as-
sault after she allegedly punched her live-in girlfriendduring an argument.
A township officer was called to the Crossing Placeapartments about 7 p.m. Jan. 31 and interviewed the tworoommates, a report on the incident said.
The suspect became upset after seeing a photo of an-other woman on her girlfriend’s Facebook site. The vic-tim claimed the suspect punched her in the face severaltimes.
The victim later recanted her statement and said shedid not want to make a complaint. But the suspect wastaken to the Clinton County Jail.
Stalking complaint filedPolice are investigating an ongoing string of com-
plaints involving a man who claims he’s been stalkedand harassed by a woman who lives across the hallfrom him in the Crossing Place apartments on ColemanRoad.
The incidents date to Jan. 27, when the 21-year-oldman said he was awakened by a knock on his bedroomwindow about 12:30 a.m. police reports say. He openedhis apartment door and saw a woman who lives across

the hall from him enter the building and try to get insidehis apartment.
When he yelled at her, the suspect, 18, laughed andwent into her apartment, the man said. The next morn-ing, he discovered that a tire on his vehicle had beenslashed.
The man also reported that someone broke into hismailbox, stole his mail and left a burned piece of mail inthe mailbox.
The victim said the woman has been pounding on hiswindows and doors, possibly in retaliation for the tire-slashing complaint he filed.
The case has been turned over to a detective, andcriminal charges were possible, police said.
Unlicensed driver jailedA township man was arrested for driving on a suspended
license and driving an uninsured vehicle after an officer sawhim run a stop sign at I-69 and Webster Road on Feb. 3.
The suspect, 45, had several prior convictions for driv-ing with a suspended license, police reports said. He wastaken to the Clinton County Jail and received warningsfor running a stop sign, possessing marijuana and havingopen intoxicants in the vehicle.

The au-thor’s notes explain thatGrand Manitou Island (al-though there is a Canadianisland by that name) wasbased on Mackinac Island.She was especially im-pressed by its old ceme-tery when she visited there.This is Ms. Webb’s debutnovel, but she has been ajournalist for many years,so her writing skills arewell developed.
Hallie James receiveda letter from the lawyerWilliam Archer informingher that she is the daugh-ter of Madlyn Crane, aworld renowned photogra-pher. Hallie had been raisednorth of Seattle by a devot-ed single father. She hadbeen told that her motherhad died in a house firewhen Hallie was 5 yearsold. Her father is currentlyin extended care, sufferingfrom Alzheimer’s disease.When Hallie visits him andasks about Madlyn, there isa brief moment of recogni-tion and coherence.
Hallie has no memoryof her life before age 5.She cannot believe that herfather hid such importantdetails from her, but nowthere is no way to get an-swers from him. Shortly af-ter that conversation, herfather dies. Hallie then de-cides to investigate herpast. When Hallie reachesGrand Manitou Island, sherealizes that no motor vehi-cles, with the exception ofrescue units, are allowedon the island. When shemeets with Archer, the cor-responding lawyer, she istold that Madlyn Crane hasdied, leaving her islandhome and estate to Hallie.
The island and home arebeautiful. Hallie does elic-it strange reactions fromthe locals. Although the is-
Mackinac Island used assetting for mystery novel
land is a tourist mecca, inthe winter few residentsremain. Whenever Halliewalks into a grocery shopor café, people stop talk-ing to stare at her. Heronly normal, friendly andoutgoing reaction comesfrom Jonah, the owner of adowntown coffee shop.
Hallie is also shocked tolearn what precipitated her
father’s removal of Hallieand himself from the is-land. A young girl had beenplaying with Hallie on thethird floor of the family’smansion. She fell from awindow when only Hallieand her father were in theroom. Her throat had chokemarks. All this informationis enough to distress Hallie,but she also begins to hearghostly voices singing ahalf remembered children’ssong. The ghosts have ar-rived.

As of late, I have seen anumber of pets for ingest-ing their owner’s meds! Notonce has this been a goodidea. I am proud to say theall survived the ordeal. Thesimple reason for this is ag-gressive action was taken ina very timely manner. If itwere not for the owners con-tacting my office within avery short period of time af-ter the pets consumed thesemeds, there could have beena real catastrophe.
How do pets get a holdof their owner’s meds? Thesimple truth is that thesecreatures are curious. If theysee an opportunity to get ahold of or ingest somethingthat belongs to another fam-ily member, they’re on it. Sowhen medications are leftout, dropped on the floor
or otherwise made availableto them, they feel obligatedto immediately consume ev-ery last one. Isn’t this ri-diculous? When you wantthem to take their medica-tion they act like they haveswallowed it then spit thepill out at your feet.
The trouble with pets tak-ing their owner’s, or forthat matter another familymember’s, pharmaceuticalsis often the dose taken is to-tally inappropriate for them.Subsequently the medica-tion consumed is extremely
Curious pets may investigate your medicationharmful to their brain, heart,kidneys, G.I. tract, or otherinternal organs. At the leastthey may sleep it off. Somewill vomit or have ragingdiarrhea. Others will showneurological symptoms thatmay include trembling, lackof coordination, rapid eyemovement, or seizures!Some pets suffer severedamage to their liver or kid-neys that may or may not
be repairable. In the mostextreme cases, such as in-gesting antifreeze or catsswallowing the pain reliev-er acetaminophen, withoutimmediate treatment, theydie!
What should you do ifyour pet consumes some-thing you know or suspectis toxic? Contact your vet-erinarian ASAP! Be certainthat you know exactly what
they have eaten, when it wasingested, how much wasconsumed and the strengthof the drug i.e. milligrams,etc. If at all possible havethe package available whenyou contact your pet’s doc-tor. I am proud to say,thanks to prompt, com-prehensive and aggressivetreatment, all of the pets Ihave recently treated havelived to cause their owners
more grief on yet anotherday.

She’ll join two more mid-Michigan fresh-men in the Mid-American Conference nextseason. Deborah Hoekstra (East Lansing)has signed with Bowling Green and MandyJohnson (Holt) has signed with WesternMichigan. Droste can sign as early as April13.
“I think it’s definitely going to be cool tosee Mandy and see Deb again. I love play-ing against them and I’m great friends withthem,” Droste said. “The MAC is a big deal.It’s Division I, it’s a great league and I’m ex-cited to play at that level.”
Kent State is 16-6 this season and tied forfirst in the MAC East with Bowling Green.
Droste recently visited Kent State andloved it, and also was drawn by the academ-ic opportunities. She would like to majorin sports administration while also study-ing special education.

DEWITT — HannahAcre’s father Bob hascoached football, wrestlingand track at DeWitt, andshe’s got a twin brother andanother who’s older. Grow-ing up tough was a surething.
And the senior center’sgutsy play has come in han-dy quite a bit this season,most recently in the Pan-thers’ 62-50 win over Lan-sing Catholic Feb. 8.
The Cougars are in firstplace in the CAAC White.The Panthers are tops inthe Gold. And heading intothe fourth quarter, theywere tied after DeWitt hadled by double digits duringthe first half.
But with Acre scoring ateam-high eight points overthe final eight minutes -she finished with 17 and12 rebounds total - the No.6-ranked Panthers pulledaway. DeWitt has a 13-2overall record.

tinued to supply key lead-ership in the post. DeWittcontinues to adjust to lifewithout injured startingpower forward StephanieTwait, who could miss therest of the season.
“For me it’s not aboutscoring more points or get-ting more rebounds. It’sabout picking up the othergirls that are new to theirpositions ... and they’re alldoing a good job steppingin,” Acre said. “I just goout there and play hard. Ijust expect them to feedoff me.”
Acre is in her third yearon varsity and second asa starter in the middle de-spite measuring in at just
5-foot-8. But she’s a centerat heart and prefers thatspot over the perimeter.“In fifth grade I was twofeet taller than everyone,and it fit perfectly. NowI’m a foot shorter than ev-erybody else,” she said, ob-viously kidding at least alittle bit.
“She’s a third-year varsi-ty player and she’s playinglike it. (Especially) whenshe rebounds as well asshe does on the defensiveend,” DeWitt coach BillMcCullen said. Hannah’sstepped up. A lot of peo-ple have stepped up, andwe said it wouldn’t be justone person.”
Senior guards DenaDroste and Kait Vander-Maas scored 19 and 15,points respectively, andDroste also played a keydefensive role against Lan-
sing Catholic senior for-ward Allison Heberlein inthe post. Heberlein fin-ished with 13 points andeight rebounds, but hadtrouble getting the ball es-pecially during the secondhalf with Droste denyingher and Acre providing ad-ditional help.
Droste scored 27 pointsand had seven assists andfour steals in the Panthers63-52 win over CAAC GoldDivision rival CharlotteFeb. 4. VanderMaas added13 points to go along withher four assists and foursteals.
