Condition Of Hartland Crossing Guard Hit By Teen Improving

News Photo 5/16/12 - A local crossing guard hit in a school parking lot Tuesday afternoon is showing signs of improvement. The crossing guard has been identified as 52-year old Susan Nanette Hazzard. She was originally listed in critical condition at the University of Michigan hospital in Ann Arbor, where she was taken by ambulance yesterday. Her condition has been steadily improving and as of this afternoon, a hospital spokeswoman told WHMI Hazzard was listed in fair condition. A 16-year-old Hartland High School student who lives in Brighton was said to be driving as fast as 60 mph when he hit Hazzard and witnesses reported that the Hartland Township woman was thrown into the air from the impact and landed on her head. An investigation by the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department is ongoing and the teen could face charges. Sheriff Bob Bezotte says speed and drugs appeared to be factors and suspected marijuana was found inside the teen's vehicle. He says preliminary investigation shows the teen dropped something on floor and bent down to retrieve it but hit the gas pedal in doing so. A passenger in the car is then said to have grabbed the wheel to try and get control of the vehicle. After hitting Hazzard, Bezotte says the vehicle jumped a curb and went into a nearby field and hit a tree before finally coming to rest. The teen is not being identified but Bezotte says he was uncooperative at the scene and also refused a drug test so a warrant for a blood draw was obtained and he was later released to his parents. The results of that could take two to three months. Bezotte says once interviews and the investigation are complete, a report will be forwarded to the prosecutor’s office, which will then determine if any criminal charges will be filed although he says no decision would be made until the blood test results come back. The Harland Consolidated Schools district said in a statement today it was saddened by the accident and its thoughts and prayers were with their employee and her family. (JM)

Four Parties Interested In Developing Old Fenton Fire Hall

News Photo 5/16/12 - The Old Fenton Fire Hall could soon have new life after all. The Fenton Downtown Development Authority solicited proposals from the community after Michigan Brewing Company backed out of a prior deal due to financial issues. Letters of interest have since been received from four parties wishing to be considered for re-development of the Old Fire Hall on North Leroy Street downtown. They include the owners of Arbor Brewing Company and Corner Brewing Company; the owners of the Clarkston Union and the Union Woodshop; the owners of Lockhart BBQ, Royal Oak Brewery and Detroit Beer Company as well as the owners of Tavern 131 in Milford and Ciao Amici in Brighton.DDA Executive Director Michael Burns tells WHMI the four firms that submitted letters are all very qualified and its going to be a difficult decision because there are some very elite candidates. He feels the most interesting part of the entire process was that the city didn't have to approach anyone, adding the fact they were able to draw in such impressive candidates is due to the hard work of the DDA and its investment in the revitalization of downtown Fenton over the past few years. A selection committee consisting of three DDA members will meet Thursday to review the proposals and select candidates to interview, which will take place next week. A financial analysis of the final candidates will then be conducted and a recommendation will eventually be made to the full DDA Board for approval. (JM)

Sheriff Visits Township Boards With Warnings About K2

News Photo 5/16/12 - The Hartland Township Board got a visit from Sheriff Bob Bezotte at its regular meeting last night to warn them about the sale of the drug K2 in the township. K2 is a synthetic form of marijuana sold legally as incense to people over 18 at gas stations, party stores, and head shops around the country, including Livingston County. Despite its legal status it is frequently smoked by young people and parolees trying to get high without testing positive for marijuana. Smoking K2 leads to complications not seen with marijuana including vomiting, seizures, and brief psychotic episodes. Bezotte will be visiting township board across the county this week to make sure they are informed about the nature and continued sale of K2 in their townships. Last night, he identified the smoke shop near the CVS pharmacy on M-59 as one place in Hartland Township where K2 is sold. The owner of the Clyde Road Sunoco, which is now a Mobil gas station, told WHMI that he has never sold the product due to its potential harmful effects and doesn’t believe in selling those types of substances to the community. Bezotte tells WHMI that the sheriff’s department is teaming up with the Livingston County Community Alliance and coalitions from Pinckney, Hartland, and Howell to take action against the sale of K2 and options such as picketing sellers are being discussed. Bezotte also visited the Tyrone Township Board last night and says he will visit the Brighton Township board tonight. (TD)

WHMI Student Athlete Of The Week

Sports Photo This week we would like to recognize Hartland Soccer player Lexie Schmidt as our Nowatzki Truck & Trailer student athlete of the week. Schmidt scored a hat trick for the Eagles in a 4-1 win over Grand Blanc this past week. She is one of four seniors on the team and she truly shined on senior night scoring Hartland’s first three goals. Schmidt has been leading by example all season long and is a big reason for the team being 10-3 and tied for first place in the KLAA West Division. Once again we would like to recognize Hartland Soccer player Lexie Schmidt as our student athlete of the week. Congratulations on an outstanding performance from Nowatzki Truck & Trailer and WHMI Livingston County’s Own 93-5.
 
Michigan Headlines

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -Governor Rick Snyder says he's considering other ways to get a new international bridge built across the Detroit River. The Republican governor told reporters today that he still hopes the GOP-led House and Senate will approve a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. But he's also looking at an "interlocal agreement" between state government and Canadian officials

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) -U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade will participate in a town hall meeting in the heart of the area's Middle Eastern immigrant community to discuss citizenship and immigration law. McQuade's office says the meeting will run from 6-8 p.m. tomorrow evening at Dearborn City Hall. Dearborn is the center of Michigan's large Arab-American community.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan's budget will have about $300 million more this year than state economists predicted in January, thanks to fewer people receiving Medicaid and other state services. That came from today's revenue estimating conference in Lansing. State budget director John Nixon says he much of the extra money may go into the state's rainy day fund or be set aside in case the state loses legal fights.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The state says Michigan's jobless rate has hit its lowest level since summer 2008 amid employment gains and stable workforce levels. Statistics released today show the state had a seasonally adjusted jobless rate of 8.3 percent in April. That's down from 8.5 percent in March and represents the lowest jobless rate for the state since July 2008.

National and World Headlines

ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Greece is in the hands of a caretaker government. A senior judge was sworn in to run things temporarily after negotiations to form a coalition government fell apart. Voters furious with the handling of Greece's financial crisis deserted the two dominant parties in favor of smaller groups earlier this month. Another election is expected next month.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Another debt ceiling showdown like last year's could be looming. House Speaker John Boehner is demanding cuts in spending to offset an increase in the nation's borrowing limit. President Barack Obama is warning he won't accept more cuts without also raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The House has passed a Republican version of a bill to reauthorize the 1994 Violence Against Women Act for five years. But President Barack Obama, some Democrats and a long list of advocacy groups say the House bill doesn't do enough. The Senate has already passed a version designed to protect gays, immigrants and Native Americans.

BEDFORD, N.Y. (AP) - The estranged wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is being remembered by family members for "her kindness, her love, her gentle soul and generous spirit." Mary Richardson Kennedy, who had fought drug and alcohol problems, was found dead in her home in Bedford, N.Y. She was 52. An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.

DETROIT (AP) - Popular pastor and gospel singer Marvin Winans is expressing sadness after he was assaulted and carjacked at a Detroit gas station. Police say a group of young men attacked Winans as he was gassing up his SUV. They got away with an unknown amount of cash and the SUV. Winans tells WXYZ-TV, "This kind of nonsense just has to stop."
