Thank you Harry!

was given The Salvation Army Eastern Michigan Divisional Lifetime Volunteer Service Award. Deputy Dave is a retired County Sheriff’s deputy, and has been an invaluable Salvation Army volunteer for the past 20 plus years – nobody is exactly sure how many because he outdates every single person in our of ce! He has coordinated our Christmas Toy Shop for 20 plus years, has liaisoned with our local Sheriff’s Department to provide Community Service Work Release Prisoners to provide muscle and manpower during our bustling Christmas Season, coordinates with local EMS to run our annual ambulance toy drive, and is involved in our Fill-a-Truck program. Dave is also an active member of our local Advisory Board. Not one to just accept the high-pro le volunteer jobs,

Dave has been an avid bell ringer, has recruited countless friends and family to volunteer in our various programs, and even personally makes sure that every vehicle the organization owns gets regular oil changes. He is a familiar face in our community, and his dedication and passion are simply amazing -- very representative of the mission of The Salvation Army.


Obstetrics no longer a general practiceBy Dr. Thomas Higby

Taking another look back at medical practice in 1959, the baby business (obstetrics) is worth a long look! What could be different? Don’t babies still come the same way? Yes, but… At the time of my graduation from U of M we all were expected to have had experience with obstetrical deliveries. As a senior student I had spent a month at Saginaw General Hospital, during which I had delivered (under varying degrees of supervision) upwards of 50 babies. In the following year I had done many more deliveries. I expected it to be an important part of the general practice that I look toward entering, and thus it came to be. Now OB has passed out of the preview of general medicine. I would never have predicted that such a thing could happen. That change may have to be a story unto itself. A starting point in looking at the obstetrics of 1959 would be the diagnosing of pregnancy, not usually a dif cult matter, in fact the condition nally diagnoses itself, after going through a time when passers by on the street can identify it. The modern woman buys a test at the pharmacy as soon as the suspicion arises, before she consults a doctor. In 1959 only a hospital laboratory large enough to keep on hand live animals could do a pregnancy test. The tests were expensive, time consuming, and rarely done unless life was at stake. The doctor was expected to make the diagnosis, and did so based upon symptoms known to women for thousands of years, plus the estimation of the size of the uterus, and the hearing of the fetal heart at about four months. Hearing the fetal heart re uired the use of a modi ed type of stethoscope clipping over the operator’s head, thereby avoiding the extraneous noise caused by nger-joint motion. Listening to the heart in late pregnancy raised the possibility of predicting the baby’s sex (no ultrasonography!). In spite of its unreliability we usually gave it a try, with full warning. Boy babies usually have a slower heart beat than girls. The announcement: “It’s a boy,” or “It’s a girl” was eagerly anticipated. In the case of a boy the doctor frequently got a sprinkling at that moment. There was a legendary doctor who had an amazing reputation for his accurate predictions. After making his prediction, he wrote in his notes the opposite from what he had told the woman. Thus, if his prediction was wrong, he could show the woman what he had written down earlier. Her memory must have been bad! She must have misunderstood him! Prenatal ultrasonography has become de riguer. It is extremely helpful in staging the pregnancy and estimating the due date. Determining the fetal sex was an incidental byproduct that has become expected. It simpli es selection of clothing, decorating and names. (My mother was in favor of “Janice” when she was pregnant for me, already having two boys, but upon seeing a ten-pound boy she quickly settled on Tommy.) Let’s take a look at the layout of a maternity department, as prescribed by law or custom. The delivery rooms were essentially operating rooms, the delivery tables having

Livingston County ‘Kids In Need Summer Feeding’ Program offered Nearly 25% of Livingston County children receive food assistance. This assistance includes free and reduced lunches during the school year. Throughout the summer these families do not receive additional assistance which requires the parents to choose which bill to pay or which meal to skip. For the fth summer in a row an exciting program called the ‘Summer Lunch Bunch’ will serve area families. Each week, from June 17 to August 8, the program will provide a free meal and pantry food for a week’s worth of meals. This year after an increase in last year’s numbers (6551 meals served in 2011 vs. 9545 meals served in 2012) the program will be expanded to four full service sites that include Fowlerville, Howell, Brighton and newly added Hamburg/Pinckney. The program has also expanded to a monthly pantry food drop in Hartland for north Livingston County residents. This outreach was intended for families with children in need of lunch this summer while school is out. There is no income requirement and no waiting list, as all families will be served. Each week at the full service site there will also be planned activities, including crafts, games and a carnival. Support for this program through monetary donations, volunteerism and education/awareness is needed this year. Because of the volunteers and community support, for only $100 someone can sponsor a child to participate in the program that includes a weekly hot meal, pantry packs and fun activities for an entire summer. Support for The Salvation Army’s summer feeding program can be sent to P.O. Box 647, Howell, MI 48844 or dropped off at our 503 Lake Street, Howell corps of ce.

stirrups for the legs and handlebars for counter force during contractions. Equipment for anesthesia, recitations, and surgery were readily available, should they be needed. Rarely would the father be present in the room, and if so, in cap, gown, and mask. Birthing was not a spectator sport. Privacy and modesty were respected as much as possible. The entire obstetrical wing of the hospital was an isolation unit. The doors were kept closed except for very limited visiting hours, while the babies were in the newborn nursery, safely away from contact. The corridors were not for casual traf c, and anyone walking through would likely be challenged. Only fathers and grandparents were allowed in during visiting hours, and were allowed to peek at the baby through a glass window. The nurses would usually bring the baby of interest up to the window for a close look. The babies were brought out to the mothers for feeding and no one else was allowed in at that time. The legal milieu surrounding the eld of obstetrics and gynecology was complicated. Elective abortion was illegal in most states, including Michigan. Massachusetts and Connecticut, both Roman Catholic majority states, outlawed all forms of birth control. Here at the McPherson Community

Health Center, a woman could only have a surgical sterilization in cases of necessity usually de ned as having

ve or more children. The medical record had to include a written consultation by a second doctor attesting to the need for the procedure. Now one nds birth control materials on open display in every super-market or pharmacy. So, the answer is yes, babies do still come the same way, but things have changed!

Commencement Welcome Address

I welcome you to Fowlerville High School as you watch our very own Class of 2013 take the next step toward adulthood. Before I begin, a special thank you is in order. I would like to thank Mrs. Russo and our class sponsor Mrs. MacDonald. They have dedicated an endless amount of time to this class, for which I thank them. Four years ago, we walked into this building as ordinary

We were nervous, as we were in an entirely new environment surrounded by new people and opportunities. And we were naïve, seated at the bottom of the totem pole. We now leave this school as the extraordinary seniors we once dreamed of becoming. Over the past four years we have grown and matured immensely, and the memories we have made along the way will forever be with us. Although superstition undoubtedly claims the number thirteen to be unlucky, this number represents much more than bad luck to our class. Thirteen represents the amount of years we have dedicated to our education thus far. Thirteen represents the age in which a child is considered a teenager – one step closer to adulthood we are approaching. There

the freedom that some of us sitting here today will soon be protecting. And, the number thirteen represents our class. The Class of 2013 will forever be one of the groups of people I consider myself lucky to have spent such a large amount of time with. We are a class to remember. I say with honesty that I am proud to be a member of such a well-rounded class. From our outstanding athletes to our talented artists – we have it all. Musically, academically, athletically and theatrically, we are competitive. We are proud to be Gladiators, and that is demonstrated in our successful activities each and every day. We are leaving Fowlerville High School with big shoes to

reached its end, it is my wish that the innate Gladiator will remain in each of us for years to come. Thank you.

By: Susek Uziemblo Thank you, Adam, for that rousing introduction. We all know Adam has done some really special things in his days. It really amazes me when I see him conquer buffet after buffet. School Board members, School faculty, Class of 2013, Ladies and Gentlemen: thank you all for coming. When Mr. Lusk told me last month that I was to give the valedictorian address, I did what any of us high school students would have

any on Sparknotes, I realized I actually had to write one. Here we are future Fowlerville alumni! Graduation day! Congratulations to all of us for graduating from the most prestigious public high school in Fowlerville, Michigan. When I sat down to write this speech, the day before Mr. Lusk wanted it, I thought to myself, “What do I want to say to our class?” I pondered on this for hours. What could I say that would prepare my classmates and myself for life beyond high school? Class of 2013, I don’t know about you guys, but

months. When we all started counting down the days until our last school day, I was excited. Although, it didn’t really hit me with what that countdown meant until it was down to about four days. Four days until, we didn’t have to do homework. Four days until we could sleep in just like every summer. This time it was different though. Now, it was four days until we stopped seeing all of our friends daily, four days until we could no longer go where we just spent the last four years. The four days have gone down to zero now. We never have to go to school here any more. Think about that. It scares me. Sometimes, I feel as if I don’t want to graduate. Some of you might think I’m crazy. I am. Don’t get me wrong. Although… that’s not important right now. It’s true though; I’m a little scared to graduate. Although all great accomplishments must involve some fear. Jordan Jabara was probably a little frightened when he hung up the “Free Ice Cream Friday” posters, but he did it. Lance Armstrong and Buzz Lightyear were probably scared when they were the

of the biggest risks in our lives, which is moving on to our

into adulthood. After this we’re going to do “adult things” like move out of the house, get jobs, and pay electric bills.

to do anything, to make anything of your self, and to stay up past your bedtime whenever you want. I’ve heard people say that High School is some of the best years of your life. I disagree. If doing algebra and listening to me on the morning


announcements everyday are some of the best years of your life, something’s wrong. Life is like milk: It gets better with age…or maybe that’s wine. I can’t remember. So I think its safe to say the easy years are behind us, and the fun years are ahead of us. To quote one High School senior, Scholar, Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t slow down and look around, you might miss it.” So take life one-step at a time. Be thankful for where you are because of all the work you’ve done. We have just spent 13 years in this school system. What will we have to show for it other than those diplomas? Albert Einstein once said, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.” Five, six or seven years from now, most of us won’t remember what the Franco Prussian war was, or what F. Scott Fitzgerald was trying to say when he wrote the Great Gatsby. We’ll forget most of what we learned. That’s OK because what remains is what’s important. High School taught us who you can trust, how to set goals for the future, and where you can and cannot sit down in the hallway. Most importantly though, I hope we all remember where we came from and the people who got us here. Whether you liked or hated it, if you’re staying here or moving away, Fowlerville is our hometown. It isn’t the most exciting of towns, considering I was ecstatic when we got a Wal-Mart. However, I think it was a great place to grow up and go to school. Everything we have become, up to this point, is because of Fowlerville and the people in it. I would like to thank my parents for all their love, support, and for putting up with me over the years. I would like to thank the teachers and staff of the district for all their guidance, dedication, and for putting up with me. Finally, I would like to thank my friends and classmates for putting up with me. I hope this isn’t a goodbye for I would like to see all of you in the future. If you see me walking down the street or at the store, don’t hesitate to say “Hello,” because you know, senioryearyoloswag2013. Thank you everybody for listening and/or pretending to listen. Good luck and congratulations Class of 2013! See you later. Thank you.

Valedictorian Speech continued...

Salutatorian SpeechBy: Adam Coon

Thank you Melissa and Kayla for welcoming our class to this very prestigious event. Well I know what all of you are thinking right now “how long is this thing going to take, I want to get my diploma and get the heck out of here.” Well, I will try and make this as quick and painless as possible. I wish I could say the same for Susek, but we all know how he likes to drag out those morning announcements. First off, there are a few people I need to thank. My parents for all you have done for me from pushing me to be the best person I can be to paying the outrageous food bills. Thank you for raising me into the person I am today. Thank you to my family and friends for always supporting me and also keeping me with a level head, keeping me humble. Thank

you to the administration for just plain putting up with us these past four years. Thank you to Mrs. MacDonald and Mrs. Russo for being our class sponsors and helping us raise money for the classes use. A huge thank you goes out to teachers, coaches, parents, friends or anyone that has had a hand, in some way; shaping us into the people we are today. I speak for everyone here when I say we appreciate everything you have done for us. Well congratulations seniors this is the time most of us have been waiting for since we started kindergarten, to walk across this stage and be done. We all want to get out and celebrate being done. Then those who are looking far enough in advance, want to make a ton of money. We want to be successful. Well there are two major things it takes to be successful, hard work and striving to achieve your goals. “The Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.” --Vince Lombardi In order to be successful in any aspect of your life whether it’s a job, sports or even further schooling you must be willing to put in the time and effort. You must be willing to put in the work to achieve success. Once you put in the work that’s when you can reap the rewards. The successful man is willing to come in early and stay late. He is not always the smartest or the strongest or even always the most gifted. It’s the man that is the most driven. When you go out to get a job, start your career or further your education, no one is going to care how high you graduated in your class. The only thing they are going to care about is; are you driven to be a success? Are you driven to do the best you can at your job? Are you driven enough to work hard at your job that you can be promoted? Are you driven enough to go to schooling for another “x” amount of years and see to it that you graduate? We all are on level playing ground here, we all will soon have high school diplomas, well as long as Sues doesn’t take too long… What sets us apart from one another is our motivation and our goals in life. How motivated are you to achieve your goals? Speaking of goals, Les Brown said, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” Set goals for yourself in life then be willing to put in that hard work to achieve them. Don’t sell yourself short. Anyone who is willing to put in the time, is willing to get a little sweaty, is willing to get his hands dirty from time to time is the one who is going to be successful in life. Thank you for having me up here to speak today. I hope I didn’t completely waste your time up here. Remember to dream big and work even harder to achieve that dream. Congratulations Class of 2013. You’ve survived the easiest part of life. Now it’s time to see what each and every one of you are made of. To quote a good friend of mine and to just mess with his speech “Stay classy Fowlerville.”

Class of 2013 Guest SpeakerBy: Tim Flickinger

Class of 2013! Does it seem real yet? Looking through Taylor’s pictures made me smile and feel all kinds of emotions. Who was in Mrs. Moon’s kindergarten class? They used to be so cute…now look at them. (I mean that in a positive way.) They are young men and women. Do you remember all the cute little nicknames you came up with: Bubbers, Peanut, Snugglebuns, Dude, Sweet Pea. Jake Mac…when you were the original Honey Boo Boo, or Jabaras when you called Jordan your little Fartblossom? I thought about sharing stories…but there were so many to choose from. One time Derek Tupy and Tayor, about 8 years old, arms the size of spaghetti noodles, comparing muscles in the back seat of the van on the way to a soccer game. Even working in the hallway, gaining a greater admiration for school staff, and learning the many ways Kevin Jolliff could come up with to sneak down the hallway. You started out school with a cultural icon: Spongebob square pants. Movies when you turned 13 – Iron Man, Dark

schooling having grown in cultural depth and maturity – the Harlem shake and of course, Josh Bate’s favorite- Justin Bieber. You are at a time of big questions – what am I going to do, where should I live, do I order hard or soft tacos? All of these are vitally important. But today I want to cheer you on in a different category…not about something to do with your life, but something to be with your life. Be Thankful. And related to that…be a blessing. Sometimes things go unsaid, but today is not that day.

This is the opportunity to be thankful and express it! You will have that change as a group in a minute. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, everything is going your way or everything is falling apart. Thankfulness is not dependent upon those things. It is a character, a choice, and a perspective. It is easy to become self-consumed. We can become angry when things are unfair, or disappointed if things don’t work out like we hope, or depressed if friends abandon us. It is easy to take things for granted when we get what we want or when life is fun. It is easy to be prideful (in a negative sense, there is a good kind) if you look great or achieve awesome stuff. It

is easy to neglect loving others. There is a lot of pull in this world to do just that. But a thankful heart is pulled in a different direction. There is humility, realizing none of us are better than another. There is a gratitude for even the smallest things. There is strength even in hardship to face circumstances differently. I took a group of young people to Honduras one year. We worked in a village with no electricity. One day we took the pastor and his family some distance to a “water park.” It wasn’t much compared to what we are used to. Our group was a little whiney about the situation. The family who was with us had a 12-year-old son who took full advantage of the cheap, little water slide. As we were leaving, this young boy said, “Tim, that was the greatest day of my life.” You could see the tears in the faces of our group. Being thankful changes how you view failure. Sadie, my granddaughter was watching Tinkerbell. She put on her wings

try, she sat down and said, “mom…how do they do that?” She didn’t give up, however, and now happily and thankfully

This is way more than just having a positive attitude. Being thankful and being a blessing is “others-oriented,” yet

talking about putting on a fake face and saying “everything is awesome” when it’s not. It is choosing to be grateful in the realities of everyday life like failure (seeing it as part of a bigger picture), joyful moments (like when Shelby wins a 600 million dollar lottery and wants to share it with the entire class), and even deep loss. If you know me, you know this perspective springs from my faith. – To Love God, Love People. Live by faith in Jesus who loved us and gave himself to make us just right with God…to settle things forever. It affects how I approach everything in my life, including thankfulness for all I have been given and being a blessing to others. You might believe something different than I do. I don’t have all the answers, and I am certainly not always thankful. I have a lot of room to grow. But whatever you believe, I hope you choose to be thankful and be a blessing. Parents – Do you remember the day this baby was born? Badaracks, remember when widdle Keef had no teef? Remember when you were exhausted and wondered if you’d ever get to sleep? Remember their famous mispronounced word? (Taylor’s was “grills” for “girls”…we still use

conversation? Although your day is mingled with different emotions, I hope you are overcome with thankfulness. Teachersin your class…and you wondered if there was any hope? Remember day #176 when Angie was testing your limits and you look in your calendar to see how long until you could retire? Remember day #373 when you all laughed out loud together because someone’s volcano experiment exploded? Remember last Friday when these kids hugged in the hallway and walked through the last day of high school and a feeling of joy mixed with satisfaction mixed with a tinge of sadness? They are the reward for what you all do. I hope you are overwhelmed with thankfulness. Studentsthe apprehension, the excitement, the desire to stay home? Would you- or could you – ever even imagine all that you would do and go through and then stand here in this place?

Webberville hosts district games in baseball & softball

By Kathryn Torres Saturday, June 1, the Webberville Spartans hosted the 122-4 District baseball and softball tournaments. Potterville took the baseball title over Webberville and Morrice and toppled Lansing Christian in the championship match-up 11-1. In softball, the Lady Spartans came out on top, beating Morrice in what Webberville Head Coach Andy Smith refers to as “a real quality team” in “our most complete game of the

play, moving them straight into the championship game and a 13-5 victory over the strong Oriole team. Graduating senior and team co-captain, Bailey Perkins says of the day, “We played the best game we have all season as a whole, and the cards fell in our favor. I’m so glad our underclassmen got the chance to experience what we got to as sophomores, and I wouldn’t have wanted this for any other group of girls. I’m so glad we got to win this together.”

Senior spotlight- Jarred Roby By Kyle Oesterle

Jarred Roby has attended Webberville Community Schools since rst grade. When he is not at school you can nd him with his friends or playing sports. “I have made many friendships with numerous people throughout the years, and I cannot imagine being a part of any other class,” said Roby. Roby is the son of Jim Roby and Amy Brunger. He is also the brother to Ronnie, Alyssa, Brianna, and Gerald. “My favorite things to do are work on cars, hang out with friends, going couching in a eld and playing sports,” said Roby. Roby played football for three years, basketball for four years, golf for one year and baseball for one year. He was also part of Webberville’s FFA Chapter. Roby plans on joining the National Guard after high school “I have been friends with Jarred since sixth grade. He is hilarious and I have shared many fun memories with him. We always have a good time together,” said recent graduate Brad Sleight. Roby has been playing basketball for several years, and he loves to shoot the three point shots. Coach Brown is very impressed with how Roby has grown over the years. He has come a long way in terms of growth and maturity. ”Jarred is known for his big heart and his ability to do whatever you ask of him. He is very reliable when it comes to helping others out.He will run through a wall for you if you ask,” said basketball coach, Travis Brown. Roby’s advice to his underclassmen is, “always try your best, and make sure you continue to do your work on time, but most importantly, make sure you always have fun in everything you do.”

Fowlerville student traveling to Australia this monthOn June 20 forty student ambassadors from the United States will travel to the far reaches of Australia to learn about the culture of the land down under. Originally proposed by President Eisenhower in 1956 as a peaceful solution for a war-ravaged world, the People To People Ambassador Program provides citizens of different countries the opportunity to break down cultural barriers with the hopes of building lasting peace. Delegates will travel behind the scenes once in Australia with backstage passes to the Sydney Opera House, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef with marine biologists, cuddle koalas, and help shave sheep in the Outback as well as join aboriginals for a traditional Aussie feast.

Environment is Not a Four Letter Word Bless those groups and organizations that have “adopted” a stretch of highway to clean and care for. Thanks to their tireless efforts, the shoulders of these roadways have been mostly green this spring. But as wonderful as the work of these few groups is, it is not enough. It’s only a nice, visible example. What is needed is the continuous acceptance of responsibility for all discarding, by every business and household. For the most part now, we know what to do with trash. We know but we can’t be bothered. “The little bit I dump won’t make a difference,” or “Nobody else is recycling, why must I?” are the “reasons” we often give. And then a series of wells are tested in an area, and the water is found to be unsafe for drinking. The response is, “How could this possibly happen?” Where are the E.P.A. (Environmental Protection Agency) and the D.N.R. (Department of Natural Resources)?” The answer is that these under funded and over manipulated agencies have been warning us all along. And now they are so politically bunted and dominated that they almost fear to say more. Don’t blame the agencies, not until they are allowed to do their job. The same “mindset” that throws fast food wrappers from automobile windows to trash our highway’s shoulders, dumps the residue from an oil change in a vacant lot and allows the passage of legislation making it easier for “developers” to

ll the watersheds and wetlands. It is such a bother to keep a trash container in the car, it is such a bother to carry old oil to a recycling station, and it’s such a treat to enjoy the perks lavished by the lobbyist for developers. And so the wells are contaminated. The rivers are lthy. The beaches are littered and unsafe for swimming. “Stuff” falls out of the sky and kills whole species of trees, plants, birds, and leaves the lakes lifeless as acid rain drips on them. We still have a mindset that this is inevitable; there is nothing we can do. In an agricultural neighborhood, three farmers develop and die from cancerous tumor in their brains. All this happens in a short period of time and all were heavy users of pesticides and herbicides in their elds. Coincidence? Many would have us believe so. And in less dramatic situations do we, farmers and property owners alike, trying for a greener lawn and a nice garden, clean up the residue from our chemical applications carefully? Or do we ush them in concentrated doses, into the soil where they leach into the ditches, the streams, the wetlands and – the wells? Many of the most dangerous of our mindset practices showing little or nothing as we practice them. Spill, a little gas on the driveway as you ll your lawnmower tank and it evaporates almost before you can wash it off. But spill the same amount on the grass and see what happens. Yes, bless the groups and organizations that adopt and clean those stretches of highway. They have become involved in and sickened by the mentality and practice of open window cleanups. But may these same good folks also spread their in uence to the homes, the businesses, the farms, and the legislative chambers of our state and nation. It would be nice to be able to look at a problem like contaminated wells and know exactly what to do and how to quickly correct their problem. Sometimes I wonder through, if it isn’t our well, do we even care?
