LOOK TWICE,
SAVE A LIFE
Summer is here and warmer weather means there
are more motorcycles on the road and you should
be very aware of your surroundings. Before you
pull out in the street make sure you look twice please ……….. motorcycles are everywhere and
can be difficult to see in the road especially the
black ones! Like mine!! So take an extra minute or
so to look out for that motorcycle that just might
be me ridin’ on down the road!!

July Pot Luck
I know it may be a little on the warm side since it’s summer
now but I like to BBQ so let’s have a BBQ for our July Pot Luck! We’ll fire the grill up and maybe coerce my boss, township
clerk Mike Dolan, to come over and demonstrate his mad skills on the BBQ! I’m
thinking hot dogs and burgers so whatever kind of picnic foods you can come up with will be great! Our own
Kitchen Band will be on hand to entertain us after we eat so that will be a real treat!!
So when is this shindig happening??
Friday, July 21 at the usual time……….
noon.
Crochet Class
Gayle Mosher is our crochet instructor and she comes in every Tuesday to teach.
If you’re a beginner then bring in a size G hook and some cotton yarn to get you
started on a washcloth. If you know the
basics then she will teach different stitches and what you can make with
these stitches or you can just hang with
us. Either way…...a win-win!!
When: Tuesdays, 10:00 am
Cost: $7 per class

Recent Phone Scam - Be Aware
Recently a Hamburg Township resident was the victim of a dangerous phone scam. The scammer called the victim and
informed the victim he had an outstanding warrant in another state. Because the victim had lived there previously and knew a
great deal of personal information about him, the victim believed the call was legitimate. He wired the maximum amount ($400) allowed on his debit card as
instructed by the scammer. The following day the victim received more calls from the scammer demanding the “balance” of the money owed to him. These calls became more demanding and threatening to where the victim realized he was being scammed. He confronted the scammer and refused more payment.
Not much later, Hamburg Township Police were dispatched to a domestic violence call to the address of the scam victim who thought they were
responding to a female whose husband was threatening her with a gun. Livingston County Central Dispatch called the victim back but he hung on them
thinking they were part of the scam. At that point, several officers set up a perimeter around the residence thinking they were about to confront a man with
a gun on his wife. After approximately 15 minutes, officers were able to convince the victim and his wife to exit the home. And then the kicker is that the
scammer called the victim back while the police were still there and naturally
hung up as soon as the officer answered the phone. So here’s the deal:
1) no police department will ever attempt to have you “clear up” a warrant, post a bond or pay a fine over the telephone; 2) If you receive a call from
someone reporting to be a police officer and you are suspicious about their true identity, please ask them for their name and the name of the police
department for whom they work. Then hang up and either call that police department (using a phone from a reliable source) or call your local police department and ask that they help you verify the legitimacy of the officer; 3) please call your local police department and report if you are the victim
of a scam attempt. This information is from the Hamburg Police Dept.

July Birthdays
The New Flex Route on U.S. 23
I received a blurb via e-mail about the new Flex Route on U.S.- 23 and thought I would share the information. The Flex Route includes a network of computerized overhead signs, cameras
and electronic message boards attached to overhead signs and it is designed to warn drivers as well as manage peak rush hour congestion. As motorists approach the area, overheard signs will appear to frame the highway and posted above each lane will be a lane control sign
displaying key information which will be determined by the current traffic conditions. For ex-ample, a green arrow would indicate an open lane whereas a red X would indicate a closed lane
or the signs may be blank over the regular travel lanes or be posted with the recommended
speed limit based on the current ravel conditions. Information motorists need to observe:]
A Green Arrow: will be displayed above an open lane. During morning and afternoon peak
travel periods, shoulder lanes will be open to improve the flow of traffic.
A Red X: will be displayed above a closed lane. For example, if a lane is closed due to a traffic event, a red X posted above warns drivers so the event can be avoided; if there is no traffic
congestion a red X will appear above the lane to advise drivers it is not currently available
The Recommended Speed: will be posted above each open lane
