News briefs Lake Fenton schools’ superintendent meets expectations The Lake Fenton Board of Education ac- cepted the mid-year evaluation of Super- intendent Wayne Wright by a unanimous 7-0 vote. The superintendent’s rating was “meets expectations,” in all applicable categories. The school board routinely evaluates its superintendent on student achievement, leadership, communications, negotiations and finance. Wright was hired as superintendent last spring, following the retirement of Ralph Coaster. Tyrone to hold budget meeting The Tyrone Township board has sched- uled a special budget meeting for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 9, at the township hall, 10408 Center Rd. The board will finalize the budget for this year and discuss next year’s budget, said Supervisor Mike Cun- ningham. Tyrone approves special assessment for Jayne Hill subdivisions The Tyrone Township board held a public hearing on, and approved, a special as- sessment for garbage collection in Jayne Hill subdivisions 1, 2 and 4. No one object- ed during Tuesday’s public hearing, or the previous one, said Clerk Keith Kremer. The special assessment, which will be through 2017, replaces one that expired. It pays for a single waste hauler for 121 residences. Township to ask for bids on some services Tyrone Township’s board will ask for bids on cleaning at the township hall, and collections on delinquent bills township officials don’t believe they can make any more progress on, said Clerk Keith Kremer. Officials need to define the scope of work for cleaning services, such as what ser- vices they would like and when. In addition, they need to find the number of delinquent bills involved. Before possibly re-bidding planning services, discussions need to take place at the planning commission level regarding the types of services Tyrone really wants, he said. It’s the township’s policy to periodically re-bid services, to make sure Tyrone is getting the services it wants, at the right price, and in case its needs or the market has changed.
hot line continued I WILL SWEAR, with God as my witness, that if Sarah Palin is elected, I will move to Vancouver. nnn I WANT TO offer a great big thank you to the individuals who worked long hours to clear our roads, parking lots, etc. You don’t always hear the positives, so thank you. nnn RANDOM ACT OF kindness, thank you to the neighbor who helped clear my driveway and walkway with his ATV. My husband is a disabled Vietnam veteran. The assistance was greatly appreciated. nnn ‘BE CLOSER,’ JUST exactly who signed off on that? That’s like buying last year’s gold-colored sports car because it’s a good deal. nnn PLEASE REMEMBER TO clear snow, trash or other items from in front of your mailbox or newspaper tube, year round. nnn I HAVE AWESOME neighbors. Thank you, Paula and Wallie, for shoveling my driveway and sidewalks. I couldn’t ask for better friends and neighbors. nnn YOU DON’T HAVE to worry about Sarah Palin getting elected president. She has one big problem. It’s called ‘foot in mouth’ disease. nnn SLOW SNOW DRIVER, did you ever think that if you actually knew how to handle your car that you could go faster than 15 mph? Police know how to handle rear- wheel drive cars with big engines and don’t creep along to emergencies. If new tires don’t give you the confidence to drive faster than 15 mph in snow, then you need to stay home.
