PUBLIC COMMENT— Deputy Brian Francisco—President of Deputy Sheriffs Association. Thank you to the county, especially Mr. Bosanac, Ms. Armstrong and Mr. Greene for the time and effort spent speaking with us on some issues that we had. It’s a heartfelt thank you for the positive way the county talked with us. Matt Vanisacker—of the Monroe County BDC. The BDC is in support of the Toledo Water Contract. Water is vital component to Economic Development in Monroe County. This will assist us in bringing new businesses to Monroe County. Kim Giarmo—6331 Ave. D in North Shores (LaSalle Township). Commissioner Swartout and I have spoken and he’s on top of this issue. We need someone to enact a sea wall ordinance and we need drainage. Commissioner Thompson’s hands are tied. We have mold, sink holes and health issues. Nobody’s listening, nobody’s helped; in 21 years no one has helped. We have several residents losing homes. If we don’t have drainage by next summer, our homeowner’s insurance company will drop us. Our township has done nothing. It’s been going on for 21 years. If there is something that can be done we sure need the help. VIII. RESOLUTIONS, SPECIAL TRIBUTES & PRESENTATION IX. FINANCE MATTERS 1.

  • Battles of the River Raisin Lesson Overview
    River Raisin National Battlefield Park Elementary Lesson Plans “Letters from the Grave” The War of 1812, Battles of the River Raisin Lesson Overview: In January of 1813 inhabitants of Frenchtown, a village in the Michigan Territory, and Kentucky militia fought British soldiers and Natives for control of the land and its passages that surrounded the River Raisin. Students will examine and interpret primary and secondary source accounts from individuals that participated in the Battle of the River Raisin or witnessed the battle and its aftermath. They will also read about the daily lives of those individuals that led up to and included the Battle of the River Raisin. After reading these accounts they will create a brochure that illustrates their understanding of these individuals. Students will explore maps of the world, the Northwest Territory, and Frenchtown noting ribbon farms, battlefields and movement by inhabitants of the village and combatants of the war. Students will read and write about weapons and artillery used by both armies. This lesson integrates reading, writing, and U.S. History Standards. Objectives: Students will: • Identify which countries and native groups participated in the Battle of the River Raisin during the War of 1812. • Identify where the Battles of the River Raisin took place on a map of Michigan. • Identify other key areas of battle such as Brownstown, Detroit and Monguagon that took place in the Northwest Territory that eventually gave rise to the creation of several states including the state of Michigan. • Compare battle artifacts and tools used by individuals during the Battles of the River Raisin.
