While Michigan’s economy is

revenues paid to the state might

No major financial problems

are forecast for the state’s current
fiscal year.
But those possible gains will be
more than offset by the loss of
temporary financial assistance
from the federal government and
other one-time money sources,
and up to a $1.8 billion general
fund deficit is projected for next
year’s budget.
Michigan’s economy might
start to improve slightly, analysts
said Friday, but the state will con-
tinue to have challenging govern-
ment budget problems deep into
2012, they said.
The projections included an
expected boost in the state’s
school aid fund, said Rogers, who
chairs the state House’s K-12
appropriations panel. He noted
that a projected surplus in the cur-
rent fiscal year’s budget was used
as a mechanism to offset the gen-
eral fund.

At 63, woman’s PICK UP POINTERS ON JOB INTERVIEWS

Two upcoming programs are
aimed to help job hunters hone

Patty Sudbay of Livingston
County’s Michigan Works! will
present a workshop on job
interviews beginning at 6 p.m.

“I’m hoping something will
come through,” she said.
She’s been a Michigan Bell
operator and held administrative
positions at two architectural
firms. She raised a daughter,
bought a house, saved a little
money and started a 401(k) retire-
ment account. She’s now divorced
and single.
Smith said she goes into offices
with confidence and shows enthu-
siasm, which she said is what
employers want. Often, she’s told
they don’t accept resumes, al-
though office staffers say they’re
sorry and show her sympathy.
Smith is not alone in Michigan
when it comes to being unem-
ployed. According to the Michi-
gan Department of Energy, Labor
and Economic Growth, the state’s
unemployment rate was 12.4 per-
cent in November, the latest
month for which figures are avail-
able. The national unemployment
rate is 9.8 percent.
While the economy appears to
be improving, economic experts
have been talking about the possi-
ble creation of permanent class of
unemployed people because no
new jobs are being created.
Despite being unemployed,
Smith has been able to keep her
home and pay basic bills due to
unemployment benefits, but that
could soon change.
Her unemployment benefits are
scheduled to end this week.
If her benefits aren’t continued,
she will turn to more drastic steps.
“I’m just going to have to start
scrambling, selling things like
clothes,” she said.
She has a little bit of savings to
get through a few months. Smith
said her last step would be asking
her family for money, and she
would only do that if she risked
losing her home.
Smith didn’t want to apply for
Social Security retirement bene-
fits, but she was forced to go
ahead and seek a reduced amount
to pay her bills. If she gets a job,
Smith has been told she can get
off Social Security and start pay-
ing into the system again.
“I don’t ask people to help me,”
she said. “I try to take care of
myself.”
Tuesday at the Cromaine Dis-
trict Library, 3688 N. Hartland
Road in Hartland Township.
The workshop is intended
for adults. It will provide tips
on interviewing that will help
the applicant stand out before,
during and after the interview.
Call the library at (810) 632-
5200 for more information.
Also, the Brighton Jobseek-
ers Networking Support Group
will present a free seminar on
strategies for preparing for job
interviews from 6:30-9 p.m.
Wednesday at St. Patrick
When not applying for jobs,
she keeps busy taking care of her
disabled sister. Smith said her
sister has a brain tumor and can’t
get out on her own to shop, go
to the doctor’s office or buy
groceries.
She also visits friends and helps
them with chores around the
house. She doesn’t get paid, but
she likes to help them paint or
move around furniture.
When she can, Smith purchases
additional food and donates it to a
family center in Fowlerville that
distributes it to needy residents.

Exhibit spotlights
ice harvesting
An exhibit on old-fashioned ice
harvesting opens next weekend at
the City of Brighton Arts, Culture
and History Center, 202 W. Main
St. in Brighton. The exhibit, pre-
sented by the Brighton Area His-
torical Society, will run from Sat-
urday through Feb. 27.
The exhibit includes a display
of many types of ice-cutting
equipment used 100 years ago
that is on loan from the Knowlton
Ice Museum of North America in
Port Huron and provides informa-
tion about the difficult, dangerous
job of manually harvesting 300-
pound blocks of ice from lakes
and rivers.
Many archival photos and
videos showing footage of ice
harvesting from the early 1900s
will illustrate the techniques and
expose the dangers of the job until
the development of the refrigera-
tion systems of 1930-1940s.
The exhibit will be open from
5-8 p.m. Tuesdays through Fri-
days; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays;
and noon to 8 p.m. Sundays.
