TODAY’S PROGRAM...
Washtenaw County Update Jane Talcott introduced today’s speaker, Greg Dill, Washtenaw County Administrator. Greg Dill has degrees in business administration and years of experience in local government. He was appointed Washtenaw County Admin-istrator in 2016. This is his home community, which he cares about deeply. Greg thanked Kiwanis for our dedication to community ser-vice, thanked his mother for being his “rock”
growing up, and his wife for 23 years of love and support.
Greg was pleased to report that voters have passed four millages to support road repairs, community mental health services, public safety and justice, and veteran services. In the current environment of increasing expenditures and de-creasing revenues, fiscal stewardship is both challenging and critical. Using a four-year budget cycle helps with plan-ning and best use of resources.
Greg talked about the Equity Initiative, which includes racial issues, but also inequity in dealing with gender and with the elderly, especially those living out county. One of Greg Dill’s themes is caring about and serving the whole county. He talked about “east of US 23” having different challenges and fewer resources than Ann Arbor and the need to balance that out. For example, an African American male living east of US 23 has a seventeen year shorter life expectancy than an African American male living west of the highway. There are also pockets of poverty in the rural western part of the county.
We need to remember that though Ann Arbor has lots of resources and has been named the “smartest city in the world”(!), we are one county-wide community of 360,000 residents.
The new strategic plan, “One Washtenaw County” deals with education disparity, transporta-tion issues, affordable housing, mental health needs, and development of talent throughout the county. It will provide effective leadership to create positive outcomes in these areas of need and answer the question, “Do these initiatives improve conditions for all our popula-tion?” with a resounding “Yes”.

FINES...
Unfortunately, the editor was filling her plate at the buffet and missed the beginning of a string of fines and counter-fines. They all had to do with President William’s outstanding white suit and matching headwear, which was mistakenly referred to as a “skull cap”. After we all paid, in-cluding President William, he ex-plained that his headwear is called a “kufi”, and that he wears the kufi in honor of his ancestors and all that they endured. That piece of infor-mation and its meaning to William was worth way more than the quar-ters we all contributed to the fine bucket.
HAPPY DOLLARS...
Lynne Lande started off Happy Dollars with a sad word that she had to “put down” their beloved Newfie, O’Malley, last week. But the best news is that her son Steve is recovering from a heart attack caused by blockage of the major arteries in his heart.
Larry French was happy that he did not fall for a bogus email demanding $3,200 in Bitcoin, with the threat of putting out on the Internet that he watch-es porn. Larry went to the FBI and learned this is a common Internet crime. Larry has an article about this type of crime, if you want more information. (BTY, Larry says he does NOT watch porn).
Clar Dukes was remembering this day in 1953, when he was preparing to go to fight in the Korean War. As he stood in line, word came that Korean Armistice had been signed, and he didn’t have to fight.
Dale Leslie reported attending Doug Olsen’s memorial service in Dundee this past Saturday. Doug and his father Don Olsen were both active mem-bers of our Kiwanis Club. Doug was a Methodist minister and served two churches in Ann Arbor before transferring to Dundee.
Juliet Taylor, daughter of President William, wearily but happily reported she and her son Shiloh, and her sister Cynthia drove seventeen hours straight from Ft. Worth, Texas to visit their Ann Arbor family for a week.
Fred Sanchez was happy for a Michigan hat with a brim, given to him by Clar Dukes. Fred was ushering at the recent soccer match at the Big House, and fainted again, in spite of drinking 11 bottles of water. Fred hopes this hat will give him more protection from the sun.
