Trustees of the Lenawee Intermediate School District Board of Education were at an impasse for a time Monday night when asked to take action on a recommendation to proceed with the demolition of the old Sutton School which sits on the Milton C. Porter campus on Sutton Road. This took place at the board’s regular monthly meeting following pleas by some local individuals to consider providing area preservationists more time to come up with funding and a viable plan for reuse of the building.

Two bond proposals will be on the ballot May 6, requesting that voters approve the issuing of bonds for infrastructure projects at Tecumseh Public Schools. Proposal I would require levying an additional 0.98 mills, or 98 cents for each $1,000 of taxable valuation, for 22 years, while Proposal II would require levying 1.99 mills, or $1.99 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for 22 years. District officials state that the bond program does not increase a taxpayer’s current millage rate.

In response to the recent recall of 143 million lbs. of beef - it is difficult to understand how and why in this 21st century humans are still viewing animals as “ours” to use for whatever purpose we deem fit.  The treatment of animals in “factory farms” and slaughterhouses is nothing new and neither is the threat to our health from eating meat produced in these horrific conditions.
