The question I have is why do we want to allow this in our township? The procedure has caused…Read More earthquakes in Colorado and New Mexico:

The problems that can arise are huge and unremediable. I would like to see a moratorium at least until we have a guaranteed source of clean, benzene free water.

We don't want it in our Township, and the Twp Board is working on a moratorium, but water flows…Read More between townships .... and aquifers. We also don't want radium in our water or to divert Great Lakes water to other states/cities that do, but see:

We need to change the way the State of MI fosters the oil/gas industry, via a change in legislation (for 2014 ballot).

My dad taught me many things, one lesson came when I was about 6 years old (I'm 52 now!) and I had…Read More told a fib (who knows what it was about). He knew (of course) and although he didn't say a word, I saw the hurt in his eyes and remember to this day, the importance of honesty even when it may be hard. He also taught me to never make a decision in anger or in haste, to be careful with your money and never put more on the credit card than you can pay off at the end of the month, if you were going to do something, you might as well do it well and that family is the most important thing we have. My dad is also the most generous man I know ~ the saying "he would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it" must have been written about my dad. Thanks, Dad! Love you!

My Dad used to say, "Everybody wants Your money!" One morning, very early, I was sitting…Read More at the kitchen table getting ready to drive to classes at WSU. My Dad was standing at the kitchen sink, washing some dishes and singing the song "Row, Row, Row Your Boat gently down the stream, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is But a Dream"... and he turned to me and he said, "You know Carol, Life is But a Dream... And now that I am even older than the day that he spoke those words... I know them to be true.

Although my dad, Harold Behler, passed away many years ago, I still think of him often. He and mom…Read More encountered many hardships over their married life, including the death of a baby son at age three, living through the Great Depression while owning a small dairy business in Plymouth, and then another business failure in the late 1940s. But dad was never bitter or even seemed down spirited because those problems. He taught me to have a positive outlook on life even when things are not going well. He died at the early age of 63 in 1959, but I can still remember how his voice sounded when he called me by his special nickname for me....."Dade". My older brother, who passed on last December, used to say that Dad "was a man who never met a stranger" because of his friendliness and ability to strike up a conversation with perfect strangers. Guess he learned that ability while a milkman back in the day when he delivered door to door for Plymouth Dairy (late 1920s and 30s). Cloverdale Dairy (1940s) and Twin Pines Dairy (1950s). He was a wonderful role model for me as a father of two daughters.

I see this from both sides of the coin:
As an alumnus, I am sad to see no trace of this building…Read More remain, no physical representation of the pep rallies, assemblies, and coachings by Mr. Stevenson.
As a building systems engineer, I agree that it's not practical. I had initially hoped to work with the township to design an appropriate HVAC system, but the more I analyzed it, the more I realized the extent of the work required. The gym is served by two existing 1969 unit ventilator fan coils. Without a physical plant (boiler & chiller), there is no way to provide fluid to these coils. Packaged rooftop units would be the most economical solution, but that would require additional structural support, removal of the ceiling, and the installation of ductwork which would result in a less-than-ideal field of play.
In all practicality, the Township, if it were so inclined, could likely erect a brand new complete prefabricated steel-framed gymnasium for about what it would cost to make this gymnasium function properly and to the current building codes. They would need to install a new fire alarm and unless they granted an exemption, since it is owned by the school district, they would need to install fire suppression which would require a fire pump and either a large underground tank or a municipal source which is across Highland Road and would require MDOT cooperation.
I commend Mr. Hamill, Mr. Dittmar, and the rest of the township for their focus in this matter, but I also have to commend them for not getting in "over their heads" and being responsible to the taxpayers. Hopefully HVS makes the Apollo gymnasium openly accessible year-round.
