ROSE TOWNSHIP, Michigan – It will be back to the architectural drawings and construction plans for North Oakland County Fire Authority Chief Jeremy Lintz this spring as his department begins the process of overhauling NOCFA’s Station 3, located in the township on the corner of Milford and Rose Center Roads.
NOCFA announced on Friday that it had received funding for its Fire Station Construction grant application from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the amount of $679,704. The FSC grant allows fire departments to build new or modify existing fire stations to enhance capabilities and protect communities from fire-related hazards.
Lintz said the grant monies will be used to modify and remodel Station 3, and expects some of the upgrades to include crew quarter enhancements, a new sprinkler system, handicap accessibility, and energy conservation measures to name only a few.

HOLLY, Michigan – It sounded just like any other championship basketball game from outside of the gymnasium doors, but inside it was quite a different story. With brightly painted faces and pom poms thrust high into the air, students from 19 Oakland County high schools cheered as they watched their classmates put their respective “robogladiators” to the test, going head to head in a game called “Bot Basketball.”
On Saturday, the Holly High School Robotics Team and 18 other teams from Oakland County took part in the last competition of the year, the Oakland County Competitive Robotics Association Championship – a full contact game of basketball played with 120- pound robogladiators.
OCCRA promotes excitement for technical and academic disciplines such as design, engineering, physics and electronics. The competition recognizes and encourages all students who sacrifice all their free time to this area of study.
Holly High School robotic students combine with students from Brandon High School to make up Team 43 – a team known for its competitive spirit, outstanding sportsmanship conduct, and hard-working members.

ROSE TOWNSHIP, Michigan – Rose Township officials are beginning to see a flickering light at the end of the tunnel after receiving a letter on Monday, informing them that the state is closing the file on a complaint made by Rose Township resident Lyle Barger last August.
Barger made the complaint after his wife, township Treasurer Sue Slaughter, allegedly fell down a flight of stairs leading to the basement of Rose Township’s 9080 Mason St. office in June. In his complaint, Barger questioned construction codes, barrier-free access and American Disability Act compliance for the facility.
In October, township officials gave Supervisor Alison Kalcec the green light on filing an Application of Exception with the State of Michigan, an agreement that, if approved, would give the township up to five years to make the necessary upgrades to the Rose Township offices.

Levi Bischer takes part in STA... HOLLY, Michigan – In an attempt to beat last year’s world record of 225,560 simultaneous cup stackers across the globe, Holly Elementary School students gathered in the cafeteria on Thursday to take part in STACK UP! 2009.
Sponsored by the World Sport Stacking Association, sport stacking is termed “a track meet for your hands at warp speed.” Sport stacking is an exciting sport where students up stack and down stack 12 specially designed cups called “Speed Stacks” in predetermined sequences as fast as they can. Stackers race against the clock and compete in relays.
On Thursday, Holly stackers joined thousands of other stackers both in the United States and abroad, attempting to smash the Guinness World Record for the most people sport stacking at various locations around the world.
