While a few offices are drawing interest, officials in Novesta Township are facing a vacant supervisor and clerk seats along with a pair of empty trustee chairs following the recent deadline to file. Incumbent Clerk Joann M. Peters is the only official listed as seeking an office in the township. Currently serving as supervisor is Ralph Zinnecker, while Val Peters is treasurer, and Marlene Sieradzki and David Little are the trustees. Officials are facing a similar situation in Wells Township, where Democrats have filed to run for Supervisor (Melvin L. Witkovsky) and Treasurer (Patricia Gettel), but no one met the filing deadline to run for clerk or two trustee seats. “My understanding is some of the vacancies will be filled with candidates filing with no party affiliation,” said Tuscola County Clerk Jodi Fetting, who noted that filing deadline is Thursday, July 21. Seeking reelection unopposed in Elkland Township are officials Dan Erla (supervisor), Ed LaBelle (clerk) and Cindy Kruse (treasurer), along with trustees Terry Muntz and Tavis Osentoski. In Elmwood Township, the candidates are incumbents Chris Graff (super - KAREN SIMPSON of Cass City recently donated a pet oxygen kit to the visor), Connie McNaughton (clerk) and Cheryl L.

She is pictured above with Fire Chief Glenn Guilds (far right) Millage renewals and fire fighters Scott Wright (far left) and Mark Tomlinson. County residents are being asked to support three renewal requests, includ - ing .9657 of a mill for eight more years, through 2023, to provide funding for repairs and upgrades to primary county roads and streets. If approved, the tax would raise an estimated $1.674 million in the first year. For the owner of a home with a market value of $60,000, the levy costs $29 annually, while the owner of a $100,000 home pays roughly $48. Likewise, county officials are seeking renewal of .4807 of a mill for an additional eight years to pay for repairs and upgrades to the county’s local bridges as well as for road and street repairs. If approved, the renewed tax would raise an estimated $833,300 in the first year. The levy translates into about $14.40 a year in taxes for the owner of a $60,000 home, and $24 annually for the owner of a $100,000 home. The third millage question – renewal of .15 of a mill for eight years – would continue to fund recycling services in the county. The millage generates about $262,000 a year and costs $4.50 annually for the owner of a $60,000 home, and $7.50 for the owner of a $100,000 home.
Township millages
Among Cass City area townships, both Novesta and Koylton townships will be asking voters to renew millages in August. In Novesta Township, officials are requesting renewal of one mill for four years, 2017 through 2020, to fund ditching, grading, graveling and paving of roads. The tax raises about $33,400 a year and costs the owner of a $50,000 home $25 in taxes, while the owner of a $100,000 home pays $50 annually. Koylton Township officials, meanwhile, are requesting renewal of two mills for four years, 2017 through 2020, to pay for road maintenance and improvements. Two mills generates $75,000 a year in the township and costs $100 annu - ally for the owner of a $100,000 home, while the owner of a $60,000 home pays $60 a year. New school initiative helping to turn some students around

I tell them, if you’re able to respect others, you’re going to get that respect back,” he said. “We’re trying to set these expecta - tions for the kids, that this isn’t just (about) school; it’s life,” Moyer added. “It’s the kids that have to decide to change. They have to decide they want help and then seek it out, and some of my kids have done that. Sometimes it takes a while. “I don’t try to parent the kids. I let the parents do that. My main focus is on academics,” he continued. “My kids are all bright. They’re all able do it (be successful in school). It’s just an attitude – constant nega - tivity — that I don’t have to do this and I don’t want to do this.” Moyer indicated he’s pleased with the results of the new initiative so far. School officials are, too. “My assessment is that it’s a very good program and I believe Nick’s doing a great job at it,” Hartel said. “It’s being proactive; instead of having to deal with them at the board level with suspension, it gets us to them before they’ve got so much homework missing that they can’t make it up. It gets us to them before they have truancy (issues). “I truly believe in it and I hope we can keep it going,” Hartel added, noting the program’s future will depend on district finances. Moyer also hopes school officials will continue to offer the interven - tion. “Definitely,” he said. “It doesn’t let kids slip through the cracks, and we’re going to build on it.”

Rick Snyder signs Senate Bill 507 into law. Governor signs Green bill to strengthen recycling State Senator Mike Green, along gathered for a signing ceremony for Natural Resources and with Gov. Rick Snyder, recently Green’s legislation that reforms the Environmental Protection Act to strengthen Michigan’s guidelines for recycling. The legislation was introduced as a result of Snyder’s 2014 call to Are you a long term smoker? improve the state’s recycling pro - grams. “I am proud to have worked with A Lung Cancer Screening Could Save Your Life. everyone who turned this legislation into a reality,” said Green (R- Mayville). “There was a tremendous amount of work done between indus - try, the DEQ and the recycling folks, and as a result, Michigan will now have an effective means to collect recycling data in order to help make accurate future decisions.” Senate Bill 507, now Public Act 55 of 2016, amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by adding Part 175, which sets the guidelines for recy - cling reporting. Any recycling estab - lishment will now be required to report to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on an annual basis via a form provided by the department. This will allow the department to anonymously gather data on the state’s recycling efforts to eventually determine, with greater precision, a statewide recycling rate.
