a piece of Lum history captured in cloth but just when
or where it came from

week, Almonts Gloria Howe
donated a quilt to Arcadia
Township. The creation,
made with strips of white and

Among the 150-plus names

the mystery.

Open space at corner of Main and School streets generally used for village
festivals and some events is proposed site of new Dollar General store in
Almont.
Site plan approved for

Almont Dollar General
Contingencies apply to development at the site

By Tom Wearing
ALMONT
The
Almont Planning Commission
has approved a site for construction of a Dollar General
store at the corner of Main
and School streets.
The site plan was
approved by planners Aug. 4
by a 6-1 margin, with Village
Council President Steve
Schneider casting the lone
dissenting vote.
Village Manager Sarah
Moyer-Cale said developer,
Imperial Development LLC,
is required to meet certain
contingencies before moving
forward with the project.
Those
contingencies
include: (1) completion of an
engineering review; and (2)
meeting Michigan Dept. of
Environmental
Quality
(DEQ) mandates for building
on the property.
Moyer-Cale said previous
issues of underground contamination at the site will
require implementing a
vapor mitigation system.
They still have to meet
certain obligations, said
Moyer-Cale. But as far as
the Village is concerned, the
project is good to go. This is

contingent on them doing
everything necessary to keep
our residents safe.
The 1.2-acre parcel is
currently owned by Frank
Glinski and once occupied by
the Hurd Lock Co.
Several years ago, the
DEQ entered into an arrangement allowing Glinski to sell
the property to the Village of
Almont for $1.
Per the arrangement, following an environmental
cleanup of the site, the Village
sold the property back to
Glinski for $1.
During recent years, the
open field has served as the
site of community events,
including the Almont Heritage
Festival,
Almont
Homecoming, Spooky Time
Halloween Bash, a shortlived farmers market, and
other activities.
Dollar
General
Spokesperson Nolan Miles
said earlier that the company
is looking to open a new location in Lapeer County.
Miles noted that Dollar
General customers typically
reside within three-to-five
miles or within 10 minutes
driving distance.
He noted that the companys mission is to provide

local shoppers with convenience, easy access and competitive prices.
Once up and running,
Miles expects the store to
employ 6-10 people, depending on specific staffing needs.
Moyer-Cale offered the
following information pertaining to the now-approved
site plan.
The 9,100 square-foot
(70-foot-by-130-foot) building will feature a brick exterior, spandrel glass windows,
awnings, and meet architectural and zoning standards of
existing buildings in the
Villages Central Business
District.
Entrances to the store
will be on School Street and
Johnson Street. The structure
will face Main Street (Van
Dyke), with a parking area in
the rear to include 39 parking
spaces.
The project developer is
Imperial Development LLC;
and project engineer is
Overland Engineering, LLC.
No specific timeline has
been established for completion of the building or opening of the business.
IMLAYCITY City
commissioners want to shed a
little more light on the nearlyfinished Almont Avenue
reconstruction project.
On Aug. 16, commissioners voted unanimously to
approve the purchase and
installation of new decorative
lighting along Almont Avenue
from Fourth Street north to
Capac Road (old M-21).
The new lighting, to be
installed by DTE
Energy
crews, will include 22 black
fiberglass posts and 22
60-watt LED light fixtures.
City Manager Tom Youatt
said the $111,892 cost for the
lights and installation will be
paid out of the citys general
fund.
Youatt said the addition
of decorative lighting will put
the finishing touches on a
project that already features
new curb, gutters, sidewalks,
underground restoration and
asphalt.
Almont Avenue is one of
our main streets leading to
our downtown areas, our
schools and the fairgrounds,
said Youatt. I believe new
lighting will make a huge difference in the aesthetics along
that section of the street.
Its going to add a touch
of character to that street and
to the whole community, he
added. Its doing things like
this that will set us apart from
other communities.
Youatt said he expects
that DTE will be able to
install the new poles and
lights by the end of October.
Downtown lighting
The improved lighting
coincides with the Imlay City
Downtown
Development
Authoritys plans to upgrade
existing lights along Almont
Avenue in the DDADistrict.
DDADirector

Walker said the DDABoard

Courser to face Sept. 26th trial

By Maria Brown
LAPEER COUNTY
Former State Representative
Todd Courser will face a jury
trial next month on charges
stemming from alleged misconduct while in office while
representing Lapeer County

in the state legislature.
Proceedings are due to
begin September 26 in
Ingham County Circuit Court
where Courser faces one
count each of perjury and
misconduct in office
The Republican, who rep-
resented the 82nd District in

the Michigan House, resigned
nearly a year ago after allegations came to light that
Courser and colleague Cindy
Gamrat had an extra-marital
affair and both were accused
of using state resources to
cover it up, asking one of
Coursers aides to send out a

false flag email.
Michigan
Attorney
General Bill Schuette claims
Courser perjured himself
when testifying before a special Select Committee of
House members who were
tasked with reviewing the
findings of an investigation
by the House Business Office.
Misconduct charges were
filed against Gamrat but later
dismissed by a judge.
Perjury is a 15 year-felony.
Last month Schuette
refiled a misconduct in office
charge against Courser in
Lapeer County after it was
dismissed in Ingham County.

Decorative lamp posts, such as the one on the

corner of Third St. and Almont Ave., will soon light
the way on Almont Avenue from Fourth St. to
Capac Road.
tracks
Walker said the existing
lamp posts will not be
replaced, but current light
bulbs will be replaced by
more efficient LED lighting
at a cost of $8,300.
The DDA believes this
will have a tremendous and
positive impact on Almont
Avenue and the entire downtown district, said Walker.
Almont Avenue is a major
artery through town. Making
the lights in the DDA district
consistent with those in the
area of new construction is an
example of how all of the
citys departments are work-
ing together to make positive

change.
As a matter of note, the
DDA leases the downtown
lamp posts from DTE, which
will soon be painting seven
posts along Almont Avenue
and replacing two of them,
due to damage at the base.
Walker said the repairs
will be made at no charge to
the city.
The DDAs longterm
goal is to replace all other
downtown lights with LED
lighting over the next few
years, Walker said. So this
is phase one of a longterm
project.

LAPEER COUNTY
As has been in the norm in
recent years, there are only a
handful of contested races on
the November ballot in
Lapeer County and, in at least
instances, there arent enough
candidates for open seats.
Only two candidates
incumbents Timothy Dyke
and Dave Love have filed
for four seats on the Almont
Village council. Three seats
are for four years and one is
for two years. Current members Rick Lauer and Rick
Tobias opted to not seek reelection.
The same holds true for
Almonts District Library
board where three candidates
have filed for four, four-year
terms. They include Lawrence
Bosek, Thomas Gwisdalla
and Kelly Stanley.
Six seats are up for grabs
on the Dryden Township
Library Board but only five
have put their names on the
b a l l o t M i c h a e l
Antushevich,
RosaMaria
Farrugia, Diane Krieger,

Joyce Lackey and Shawna
Penn.
The same scenario holds
true for the Dryden School
Board. Kathryn Giles was the
only filer for one of two partial terms through 2018. Giles
was appointed to the school
board last August.
Kelly Fuerst and Richard
Nash are seeking two regular,
six-year terms on the board.
Nash currently serves as the
board president on the other
partial term.
Incumbents
Glenn
Hojnacki and Kent Gierman
will not seek re-election.
Contested races are on
tap for the village of Dryden
and Attica Township.
Dryden village residents
will have three candidates to
choose from for the Council
President term. Looking to
challenge incumbent Patrick
Betcher are Stan Roszczewski
and Elizabeth Thiemkey.
Whoever wins will earn a
four-year term.
In Attica Township, Holly
Shroyer will seek the clerk's
seat as a candidate with no

party affiliation. Republican

Nancy Herpolsheimer currently holds the position and
was unopposed in the August
primary.
As previously reported,
there's a six-way race for two
seats on the Almont School
Board. Contenders include
Michelle Dupuis-Wangler,
Anthony Medley, Jennifer
Mitchell, Lauri Pelkowski,
Michael Sullivan and George
Tencza. Incumbents Steve
Hoffa and Scott Kmetz have
opted to not seek re-election.
Hoffa currently serves as the
board president and Kmetz
holds a trustee seat.
Uncontested
races
include both the Imlay City
and Dryden school boards.

Tri-City Times Editor
TRI-CITY AREA
Members of the Lapeer
County Concert Choir will
kick off their new season with
a new director.

LCCC says Dr. Eddie Howell
will take the helm of the award
winning community choir.
Dr. Howell comes to the
Lapeer
area

Howell was also the
music minister at his church,

choirs and instrumental
ensembles, and planning yearly seasonal concerts. He is an
accomplished trumpet player
having performed with the
113th U.S. Army band for
more than three years.
Dr. Howell, or Eddie, as
he likes to be called, and his
wife also owned and ran several large soccer equipment
stores in the Louisville area,
Gardiner says, adding that the
couple moved to the Davison

their grandchildren
liveafter

With David Richardson in race,

veteran judge fights for his job
By Tom Wearing
LAPEERCOUNTY
Long-sitting Circuit Court
Judge Nick Holowka appears
to be back on the campaign
trail.
Since Lapeer Attorney David
Richardsons recent decision
to run for Circuit Court as a
write-in
candidate
in
November, Holowka has been
making the rounds, garnering
support in local communities.

Last Tuesday, Aug. 16,
Holowka made a rare if not
unprecedented visit to the
Imlay City Commission
Chambers.
During public commentary, Holowka reminded city
officials and meeting attendees of his long and enduring
relationship with the citizens
of Imlay City and Imlay
Township.
A resident of Imlay
Township, he cited his support

of local law enforcement and
his professional relationships
with former Imlay City police
chiefs, Larry Dougherty and
Arlan Winslow.
Pointing out that his will
be the only name to appear on
the November 8 ballot for
Circuit Court Judge, Holowka
spoke of his 24 years on the
bench and his faithful allegiance to the judicial process
throughout his tenure.
I have the experience, the
knowledge and the courage to
make very difficult decisions,
Holowka told the commission.
When I make a decision, it is
based on the law. It is not

about Nick Holowka.
Being in a courtroom can
be a stressful experience, he
continued. Most people dont
want to be there. A judge is
there to make the tough decisions, and those decisions are
not going to be liked by everyone.
I believe I do a good
job, said Holowka. And I
understand the rules of law
and judicial responsibility.
Moments later, Holowka
said he had to excuse himself
from the meeting.
Lapeer County Circuit Court Judge Nick Holowka
I have more stops to addresses commissioners at August 16 meeting in

want to invite community
members to be part of that
process.
We are asking residents
to respond to a survey regarding their expectations of a

he continued. The goal is to
create a profile of the individual residents believe could
best serve the community and
its students.
Almont is an outstanding school district, Andrews
opined. It is very important
that we find the best possible
person for the superintendents position.
Andrews said once a
desired profile is established,
the MLIwill post the job
opening on local and statewide websites, beginning on
September 6.
The job posting will
appear on the websites of

Murder suspect caught following Lapeer chase

By Tom Wearing
LAPEERCOUNTY
A 36-year-old Columbiaville
man is in Lapeer County Jail
after leading law enforcement officers from Macomb
and Lapeer County on a
chase that ended with his
arrest on August 16.
The suspect, Jeremiah
Boshell, had been identified
as a person of interest in a
Macomb County homicide
investigation
and
was
believed to be in Lapeer
County.
According to a Lapeer
County Sheriffs report,
Boshell had visited Pioneer
Transmission
in
Lapeer
at
around
5 p.m. when
he verbally
expressed
that he was
going to harm
Jeremiah some former
co-workers at
Boshell
the business.
Deputies reported that
Boshell was wearing a tactical vest and in possession of
multiple weapons and ammunition at the time the threats
were made.
When the suspect was
told the individuals he was
looking for were not at the
business, Boshell left the
premises without incident.

The suspect was followed on eastbound Davison
Road by a Macomb County
Sheriffs Deputy, who was
soon assisted by Lapeer
County Sheriffs deputies
who joined in pursuit of
Boshells truck into the City
of Lapeer.
The pursuit continued for
about 12 minutes past the
intersection of Saginaw and
Pine streets in Lapeer and
ending on eastbound I-69
near Wilder Rd.
It was there that Boshell
lost control of his vehicle
went off the roadway and
became disabled.
Lapeer County Sheriffs
deputies alleged that during

the pursuit, Boshell discharged a weapon at a
67-year-old man who was
standing along the roadway.
Deputies also alleged
that the suspect positioned a
gun out the window of his
truck and shot at two
Macomb County Sheriffs
deputies.
No injuries resulted from
the gunfire.
On Thursday, Aug. 8,
Boshell was arraigned in
71-A District Court and was
remanded to the Lapeer
County Jail on a $750,000
bond.

ALMONT A 23-yearold Fraser man was arrested

and taken into custody after
he broke into a residence on
Janet Drive.
Interim Police Chief
Andrew Martin reported that
the incident took place at
around 1:12 a.m. on Sunday,
Aug. 14.
Almont police had been
alerted by Lapeer County
Central Dispatch that the
homeowner was out of town
and had requested law
enforcement keep tabs on his
property.
Martin said the homeowner had alluded to an altercation that occurred earlier in
the day between himself and
the suspect.
Keeping a watchful eye
on the property was Almont
Officer Steve Best, whose
first check of the residence
revealed no evidence of intrusion.

However, during a follow
up visit, Officer Best
observed a mans legs hanging from a window in the
front of the house.
During Officer Bests
first check of the property,
everything appeared normal, said Martin. He
remained in the area, and a
short time later observed a
pair of legs wearing dark
shoes disappearing through
the window at the front of the
house.
Martin said Officer Best
ordered the man from the
house and then placed him
under arrest without incident.
The suspect was later
lodged in Lapeer County Jail

Safety first for new

school year
ike it or not,
summer is drawing to a close,
and that means the start
of a new school year
for hundreds of TriCity area youths.
Whether your child
walks, rides their bike
or takes the bus to
school, its time to talk
to them about being
safe getting to and from school. Here are some
conversation starters:
Walk on the sidewalk, if theres one available. If not, walk facing traffic.
Look both ways before crossing the street
and never, ever dart out in front of a parked
car. Use crosswalks when available.
Wear a well-fitted bicycle helmet when
riding to school.
Follow the rules of the road. Ride on the
right side of the road, with traffic, in single
file.
Come to a complete stop before crossing a
street and walk your bike across the street.
When waiting for the bus, stand six feet
away (three giant steps) away from the curb.
If its necessary to cross the road to board
the bus, cross in front of the bus and walk
along the side of the road until youre 10 feet
ahead of the bus. You should always be able to
see the bus driver, and the driver should always
be able to see you.
For those who drive to school, remember,
youll be sharing the road with lots of other
motorists and pedestrians, and more children
are hit by cars near school buildings than any
other location.
Dont double park in front of the school.
Dont drop your kids off across the road
from the school.
Dont block the crosswalk when stopped
and yield to pedestrians.
Always stop for a school patrol officer or
crosswalk guide.
Be extra cautious around school zones,
playgrounds, parks and residential streets.
If the yellow or red lights are flashing on a
school bus, stop.
Never pass a school bus from behind.
The area of 10 feet around a school bus is
the most dangerous for children. Be extra cautious and stop far back enough to allow them
space to safely enter and exit the school bus.
Following these few, practical tips can help
prevent a tragedy as the new school year gets
underway. Safe travels to all, and good luck in
the classrooms!

Letters to the Editor
Catherines column made my Sunday

It's been a busy week here
and I finally had the chance to
read this weeks paper, which
Ialways enjoy.
As I was enjoying a lazy
Saturday morning cup of coffee, I was reading through the
usual stuff of rural life, and
then I read Catherine Minollis
Observations in Ink.
I never read the Boxcar
Children but I was a big fan of

the Leatherstocking Tales and
Catherines story transported
me as well. It was like I was
right there and walking with
her. Purple fingers, crazy grin
and all!
I loved the spot-on similes
to the Catholic sacraments and
for many years, my wife
Tammy has told about sun-
flowers growing up looking

and praying to heaven and
then bowing their heads in
homage to Gods glory at the
end of summer.
To me Mother Nature is
just one of Gods many names
and I find the exact beauty and
reverence that Catherine wrote
about to be present everywhere. Ive seen it in the des-
ert, the Badlands, mountains

and even frozen lands. It may
not always be as easy to see as
it is in your backyard, but like
God, it is ever-present!
Thank you for the beautiful respite this morning. It
made my day!
Sincerely,

Trump has hijacked the Republican party

Do you remember how
circus clowns would, with a
few quick twists and contortions, accompanied by high
pitched squeaks and giggles,
transform simple balloons
into the likeness of a dog,
giraffe or other exotic animal? Republican loyalists
must feel like those twisted
balloon creatures as they
contort themselves into justifying their support for the
man at the head of their
ticket, Donald Trump.
Mr. Trump has hijacked
their grand old party, which

has long been an uneasy
mish mash of establishment
corporate interests, Ayn
Rand devotees, evangelicals
and tea party purists. It is
painful to read, see and hear
formerly thoughtful conservatives twist themselves
into pretzel shapes to shill
for a deplorable candidate.
You can almost hear their
very backbones snapping as
they choke out sputtered
words rationalizing their
support.
Donald Trump is a narcissistic demagogue and a

world class con man. He has
no moral compass and
exhibits no core values. He
is totally unqualified, both
emotionally and intellectually, to be President of the
United States. While the
Democratic
nominee,
Hillary Clinton, is flawed,
she is hardly the wretched
failure conjured by decades
of right wing character
assassination. Her detailed,
thoughtful policies are vast-
ly more beneficial to the

vast majority of Americans
than the gobbledygook and
vitriol spewing from the
mouth of Donald Trump.
Republicans should concentrate on reforming their
party so that it truly represents average Americans
instead of the narrow interests that have dragged them
to this point. It is time for
Mr. Trumps Big Top to fold
up and roll out of town.

Competition is good among ambulance services

On Thursday, August 11,
2016 the Lapeer County
Commissioners voted 6-1 to
place a 1 mill request on the
November ballot for countywide ambulance service. We
currently have coverage for
the entire county provided
by various agencies at no
cost. Why do we want to
have only one agency providing ambulance service to
the entire county? It makes
no sense to me to pay extra
for something we already

have that costs us nothing,
other than if we use the service! Competition is good.
Lets leave things as they are
today.
Almont Township, in
response to the poor service
in the southeastern corner of
the county, started their
Medical First Responders
program in 2009. This was
when Lapeer County had
only one major ambulance

since I too live in a nice
peaceful wooded area where I
can appreciate the hand of
God in His creations.
I also want to say how
much we appreciate our TriCity Times. It is a great newspaper with great writers and
fair reporting. We have subscribed to the local papers for

years, and we will be renewing our subscription to the
Tri-City Times based on the
honesty and fairness contained in your paper.

Great paper, great writers
service. Today with our

MFRs and Medstar we are
very well serviced. Lets not
go back to one major ambulance service. Competition
is good. It makes everyone
better!
Some of the Lapeer
County Commissioners and
the Lapeer County EMS
Director said at the County
Commission meeting on
August 11th that this millage
is not a bailout. If it is not a
bailout and it is not needed
then why are they asking for
money? Lets leave things

the way they are. Competition
is good.
I do not care the color of
the ambulance that comes to
my house. I just care that
they get there quickly.
Competition is good.

School yard bully cannot lead our country

Because of his own words
and actions, I cannot vote for
Donald Trump.
I watched his response to
Megyn Kelly of Fox News
who asked Trump about the
derogatory nicknames he uses
for women. He said she must
have blood coming out of
her whatever... (GOP debate,
August 2015.)
Trump was unhappy with
a reporter who would not
back up Trumps claim about
thousands of Arabs cheering
the bombing of the Twin
Towers. The reporter has a
disease and a deformed hand

and arm. Trumps way of
showing his anger toward the
reporter was to imitate and
mock the reporters disability
during a November, 2015
speech.
During his primary rallies, protesters were treated
roughly. At a Las Vegas event
in February he said, Were
not allowed to punch back
anymore. I remember the
good old days when that guy
would be carried out on a
stretcher. That same month
in Iowa, his response to a pro-
tester was to say knock the

crap out of them, would you?
Just knock the hellI promise you I will pay the legal
fees. Donald does not tolerate different opinions.
During the GOP debates,
Trump joked about the size of
his junk. He gave his opponents derogatory nicknames.
He commented about Hillary
Clinton being schlonged by
a political opponent and then
pretended he did not know the
meaning of the offensive
term.
After the Democratic
convention, he declared he
wanted to hit some of the
speakers so hard their head
would spin.
If Donald was a junior
high boy, he would be labeled
a bully, a trouble maker, a kid
without empathy. He would
probably be evaluated for
mental help.
This is not a guy being
refreshing by telling it like it
is.
A school yard bully as the
leader of our country? Never.

ts Thursday afternoon and

for me that means one
thing and one thing only. Its
been a full seven days, 168
hours since I got my last fix
and Im itchin for another.
Big time jonesing for the last
two days at least, so knowing
that Ill score in the time it
takes to get to downtown
makes me a bit giddy. Giddy
is good, as it counteracts the
guilt I know will come later.
Still, the addiction is calling
the shots here, and Im
nowhere near 12 steps away
from admitting Im powerless. Powerless over the hot
pretzels sold at the bread
guys booth at the Imlay City
Farmers Market.
It feels like someones
poured molasses in the clock
cause its taking forever for 1
p.m. to roll around.
Molasses...hmmm....wonder
how that hot pretzel would
tasted dipped in a little
molasses? Or honey, maybe,
from Ed the honey guy. I
love dipping stuff in dips...
Dips, hmmm. Now Im
thinking of the chip mans

stash. Those dark golden,
slim wedges of fresh potatoes
deep fried and coated in
cheesy jalapeno flavoring...or
maybe the
salt and
vinegar
ones, or
ranch flavored.
Geez,
this market thing
is getting
to be like
a monkey
on my
back.
Thursdays
just cant get here soon
enough.
Turns out, Im not the
only one. When the market
finally opens I head over to
get Our Daily Bread fix and
run into Imlay City Fire
Chief Rick Horton.
We exchange a few
pleasantries before getting
straight to the point.
Im here for my weekly
hot pretzel dose, I say.

Its the cinnamon rolls
for me, Rick responds. I
have to have them. Every
week.
I hear you, I say. This
pretzel thing has become
quite an addiction.
Same here, except its
the cinnamon rolls, Rick
responds.
We head over to the
booth. As always, Angela
greets us with a grin. Angela.
Angel-a. Angel. Yep, thats
her. An Angel. The Angel
who hooks me up every
week; the deliverer of Our
Daily Breads pretzels, the
heavenly messenger of
homebaked deliciousness.
How many today, she
asks. Its a fair question. She
has seen my habit escalate
from one pretzel a week to
two.
Two today, I say. I
plan to eat one of them over
the weekend.
I add that little caveat to
throw Angela off the track. I
dont want her to get the idea
that Ill inhale two of those

spongy, salty, giant-sized
twists of yummy dough in
one sitting.
I have some mustard
today if you like, Angela
tosses out to up the ante. We
have peanut butter and
Nutella, too.
Oh brother! Nutella? The
sweet bite of the chocolateyhazelnut spread mixed with
the salty tang of the doughy
pretzel sounds divine. It takes
all my might to pass on the
offer. As it is Im constantly
fighting the pretzel and potato chip craving, I dont need
to add chocolate to the mix.
Ill go broke for sure!
Its already getting out of
control. When the bread guy
started making his new olive
and rosemary loaf, Angela
knew he was onto something
special. Of course she tempted me with a free sample the
weekend of the Blueberry
Festival. Since then Ive purchased two loaves. Almost
bought another one just yesterday, but went for the cia-

batta loaf instead because
Im going to slice it up and
grill it before tossing it into a
grilled vegetable salad Im
also currently hooked on.
Why? Because the vegetables
at the market are so beautiful
and abundant and are a feast
for the eyes as much as for
the stomach at this time of
year.
And what about those
blueberries...those plump, lit-
tle round balls of juicy deliciousness at the Campbells

must have for breakfast every
morning...

very four years the major

political parties,
Republican and Democrat,

a few days of parties, starstudded hoopla and merriment and to nominate candidates for President and Vice
President of the United
States. This year the
Republicans nominated
Donald Trump in Cleveland
and the Democrats turned to
Hillary Clinton in
Philadelphia.

The first of the nominees

nominated by the
Democratic Party in 1848 in
Baltimore. During his long
political career, Cass served

to waste time. However, the

wait allows us to catch our
breath, review where weve
been and consider where
were going before the next
signal leads us onward.
Such has been my situation
this summer. I relate to our
cat Mo, his signs of slowing
down. I cannot lift a fivegallon bucket of compost
onto the back of the golf cart
as I did two years ago, so I
fill it half full. One of many
adaptations.
I also determined to
allow more writing time in
future summer months. Since
I must grow flowers, food,
and lavender too, I asked a
friend to consider managing
the fields. She said yes. A
wonderful sign.
With this relief, I gladly
took a field trip with my
Friends of Herbs from Seven
Ponds Nature Center to
Grand Oak Herb Farm in
Bancroft. Beulah, the owner,
greeted us fresh as a spring
pea in the stifling morning
heat. As we toured her farm,
I marveled at her stamina,
scale of her vision, and skill
for propagating herbs and
flowers in a giant greenhouse.
How do you do all
this? I asked.
I love my work, she
said. This is the farms 36th
year. My sons are a big help
with social media.
Its a wonder to see folk who love their work and

learn to lean on whatever is at hand...
Within her air-conditioned rescued barn she
rebuilt with her sons, Beulah
and her staff served a delicious herbal luncheon.
Afterward, she leaned
against the counter in the gift
shop and answered more
questions. I wanted to suggest she sit, but didnt want
to offend a woman older
than myself.
As we left the grounds, a
gray-headed man driving a
large tractor approached us.
Do you ladies know where
Beulah is?
Are you her husband?
I asked.
Yes maam.
Nice to meet you. Shes
in the gift shop.
The tractor rolled toward
the building, a walker hung
on the back.
Thats the spirit. Never
give up! said one of my
herb buddies.
Dear Reader, its a wonder see folk who love their
work and learn to lean on
whatever is at hand. A sign
of what is to come.

Mitt Romney, former Michigan governors son,

accepts 2012 nomination.
Rockefeller from the ticket
in favor of Conservative
Senator Bob Dole and Fords
pardon of Richard Nixon
spelled doom for the ex-Wolverine. He lost to Gov.
Jimmy Carter of Georgia.
Fords popularity increased
after he left office and he
was the oldest and longest
serving ex-President when
he died at age 93 in 2006.
Finally, we have Willard
Mitt Romney, son of
Governor and Mrs. George
Romney. The Willard came
from the Romneys friend J.
Willard Marriott and the Mitt
from his fathers cousin
Milton Mitt Romney.
When he was young they
called him Billy but he said
he preferred Mitt.
Mitt was raised in
Bloomfield Hills and graduated from the prestigious
Cranbrook School in 1965.
He attended Stanford
University and then served
as a Mormon Missionary in
France. When he returned he
graduated from Brigham
Young University and
Harvard Law/Business
School.
Romney was a businessman with several firms and
started Bain Capital, a ven-
ture capital business, in

1984. He ran for the U.S.
Senate in Massachusetts
against Ted Kennedy in 1994
and lost. He then took over
running the 2002 Winter
Olympic Games and won
election as Governor of
Massachusetts in 2002, serving until 2007.
In 2008 Romney turned
his attention to Presidential
politics throwing his hat in
the ring for the Republican
nomination. He lost to Sen.
John McCain who in turn
lost to Sen. Barack Obama
of Illinois.
For the next four years
Romney kept pursuing the
Presidential nomination and
in 2012 he became his partys standard bearer. He lost
to incumbent President
Obama 332 to 206 votes in
the Electoral College.
So while all four candidates lost the general election, Cass, Ford and Dewey
(in 1948) at least won their
home state of Michigan.
What does the future
hold? Will another
Michigander ever be a top
contender for the
Presidency? Stay tuned.

Advice!
Wouldn't you love to
know what a father of the
groom told his children back
then? I would. The date was
April 14, 1942. The military
was beckoning, so perhaps the
advice had something to do
with that. Grandpa sold real
estate. And cars too, I think.
Im not sure what he sold
when. So perhaps it had to do
with one or the other of them.
Or neither. Maybe, since their
honeymoon, according to my
mom, consisted of going
home (to Grandpa and
Grandma De Boefs house) to
do the chores and we thought

it was wonderful, was a
reminder to not forget to milk
the cows.
But I doubt if it was any
of those things. Maybe he was
admonishing them to love
each other well and to build
their lives on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.
Whatever he told them, it
seems to have worked. My
dad, who died at 97, and
would have been 100 this

year, were married 70 years.
And that is something to write

poop; you can turn it into
compost. And from that compost you can make life-giving tea that awakens new
growth and new relationships.
My life compost has
been turned over frequently
though the past few years,
with each unexpected hug
and smile. I thank you from
the bottom of my heart for
the prayers, the encouraging
and affirming words. You,
dear ones, are the pitchfork
in my life, tossing and mixing up my compost pile,
enriching this heap into a
transformed soil. I have
grown richer with each ray
of sunshine, allowing the
worms to come in, to eat
away the dead stuff, turning
the castoffs and dung into
fertile ground for a new life
to sprout up. It has. And it
will continue, which I hope

Rural Lifestyles
Peak season for rabies

TRI-CITY AREA
The Michigan departments of
Agriculture
and
Rural
Development, Health and
Human Services and Natural
Resources today urged
Michiganders to adopt practices to protect their families,
pets and livestock from
rabies.
Rabies is a viral disease
transmitted by the bite of an
infected animal. Once symptoms begin, there is no treatment for rabies.
Rabies is fatal to humans
if proper treatment is not
received. Preventive treatment is given to people who
are exposed to a potentially
rabid animal. Treatment is not
necessary if an animal tests
negative for rabies.
Mammals can be infected
with rabies and several species of wild animals serve as
rabies carriers, including bats
and skunks. Bats are the species most frequently found
with rabies in Michigan.
If you discover a bat in
your home, carefully confine
the bat and get in touch with
your local health department
to determine if you could
have been exposed to rabies,
said Dr. Eden Wells, MDHHS
chief medical executive.
Save any bat for testing
if there is even the slightest
question of exposure, espe-
"Save any bat

for testing if
there is even
the slightest
question of
exposure,
especially if the
bat was found in
a sleeping area."
--Dr. Eden Wells
cially if the bat was found in
a sleeping area.
As of August 8, 2016, 21
animals in Michigan have
been confirmed as rabies
infected. Four skunks and 17
bats were found in the counties of Alpena, Antrim,
Calhoun, Eaton, Genesee,
Ingham, Jackson, Kent,
Kalamazoo,
Missaukee,
Newaygo, Oakland, Saginaw
and Washtenaw. An up-todate rabies map can be found
at www.michigan.gov/rabies.
It is never a good idea to
handle wild animals, said
Dr. Dan OBrien, acting DNR
state wildlife veterinarian.
Its also important to teach
children never to touch wild

animals, no matter how cute
or tame they seem.
Normally, wild animals
have a healthy fear of humans.
If they arent acting afraid,
its often because theyre sick.
If someone has been handling
a wild animal or is bitten by a
wild animal, that animal may
have to be euthanized in order
to be tested for rabies.
Anyone bitten by an animal should seek medical care
immediately. If possible, collect the animal and consult
with local health authorities
to determine if rabies testing
or an animal confinement
period is necessary.
If pet or livestock owners
suspect their animals may
have had contact with a
potentially rabid animal or
has been bitten, they need to
contact their veterinarian for
the appropriate course of
action, even if the pet or livestock animal is currently vaccinated against rabies.
Rabies can be prevented
by vaccinating dogs, cats, ferrets, horses and select livestock, said Dr. James Averill,
MDARD state veterinarian.
Its crucial animal owners work with their veterinarian to ensure their animals are
protected from rabies.
For information about
rabies in Michigan, visit
As of August 22, 26 cases of rabies have been recorded in the state, including
in the neighboring counties of Genesee and Oakland. Last year, a total of 33
animals tested positive in Michigan.
www.michigan.gov/rabies.
Anyone who finds a wild animal suspected of potentially
having rabies should contact
their Local Health Department
and DNR office.
Digging in? Call 811 before projects

Common chores around the farm are classified as excavating
TRI-CITY AREA Is
it farming or excavating? The
Pipeline Ag Safety Alliance
encourages farmers and anyone doing agriculture-related
projects to keep safety in
mind before they sink a
shovel or farm implement in
the soil.
Farm and ranch activities
increasingly pose safety risk
to pipelines. Farm equipment
is getting more powerful and
can dig deeper. At the same
time, erosion and terrain
modifications can reduce the
soil covering an underground
pipeline.
Every state has passed
One Call laws to keep
pipelines safe. These laws
require contractors, farmers,
homeowners and anyone digging to call 811 at least two
to three days before starting
their project. 811 is a free,
national, three-digit number
you can call from anywhere
to have lines located.

Most states provide a
narrow exemption to their
One Call law for normal
farming activities. A key to
this entire process is understanding when am I farming
and when am I excavating.
Repairing fences, removing stumps and cleaning out
ditches may seem like every
day work on the farm, but
according to state laws, these
activities require a call to
811. These activities on this
list are often thought of as
farming activities, but are
classified as excavating:
Fence building
Drain tiling
Terracing
Grading
Contouring
Ripping
Deep tilling
Soil sampling
Tree or stump removal
Clearing or grubbing

Millage:
EMS issue
on ballot
lance service.
Since the formation of a
new LCEMSBoard and
arrival of new Director Kieth
Rumbold last August, the
situation appears to have stabilized.
Still, Rumbold believes
that passage of a millage is
critical for the ambulance
service to sustain itself and
serve county residents as it
had in the past.
Weve been operating
at a deficit for some time,
Rumbold admits. With
health care changes and
challenges in collecting fees
and reimbursements, along
with competition and other
factors, theres not enough
revenue.
The whole (revenue)
pie is being sliced up to the
point where we have to do
something, says Rumbold.
We have a business to run
and thats what it all boils
down to.
EMSmillages not new
Rumbold says voterapproved millages to fund
EMS are not uncommon.
He points out that passage of the millage would
not only ensure LCEMS

survival, but would provide

funds for the agency to
expand its services to currently underserved areas in
Lapeer County.
There are numerous
Michigan counties where
EMS is supported through
voter-approved millages,
Rumbold says. With this
money, we could expand our
services improve on response
times to residents in Burnside
Township and the North
Branch area, and in the
Hadley-Metamora area.
Its always been our
goal to be able to serve
everyone in Lapeer County,
he says. We have a dedicated staff who live in and often
know the people they are
serving.
Weve been here more
than 30 years and have a lot
of ties to our communities,
says Rumbold. To be able to
continue serving as we have,
we are going to need the support of our communities.

Added benefits
Humbold adds that if the
millage is approved, it would
allow the service to wipe out
yet-to-be-paid patient copays and deductibles.
Those outstanding costs
would all be taken care of,
he says, and those customers without insurance will be
offered reduced rates.
It would also ensure that
LCEMS could maintain and
add to current staffing levels.
Humbold says Lapeer

County EMScurrently
employs 38 full-time and 44
part-time emergency personnel.
If the millage passes,
he says, wed be able to add
a couple more full-time paramedics, which are needed but
are hard to find.
LCEMS inception
Lapeer County EMS was
formed in 1997, through the
merger of Lapeer Area
Ambulance Service, North
Branch Area Ambulance
Service, and the Imlay City
Department of Public Safety.
The agency formerly provided emergency medical
services to 15 municipalities
within Lapeer County.
Smith hopes the public can help her identify when

the quilt was made and if it was a church or civic
organization project.

Smith said she plans
to inquire about getting
the quilt cleaned with
the intent to eventually
put it on display at the
township hall. The township
doesnt have a museum
or historical society but
Smith does what she can
to preserve Lum history.
Her office is home to
the former Lum depot
sign and various Vernors
memorabilia shes
collected.
I would like to put it
up so families can view
it and see their family
members names, she said.
Its so important to
cherish and care for things
like this.

position in his hometown of
Ubly.
He plans to remain in the
post until a new full-time
superintendent is selected by
the end of December, or possibly sooner.
Edwards, who had
recently retired from the
field of education, noted earlier that he will be prepared
to step down whenever the
school board hires a new
full-time superintendent.
Changes at high school
Orchard Primary isnt
the only Almont school
experiencing change at the
outset of the new year.
Edwards said the district
has hired former high school
Principal Rob Watt to begin
the new year as interim principal.
He said Watt has agreed
to temporarily fill in for high
school Principal Tim
Woelkers, who is currently
out on medical leave.
Edwards noted that
Woelkers could return to his
duties as soon as mid-September, pending doctors
approval.
We thought he might be

out longer that that, said
Edwards. So we wanted to
make sure we had someone in
place for the start of the
school year.
Why the early start?
Edwards said it appears
the majority of teachers, students and parents are adjusting to starting school a week
early.
He pointed out that

schools throughout Lapeer
County filed a waiver to
begin classes early.
The waiver allows
Almont and other Lapeer
County school districts to
offer college classes, which
traditionally start before
Labor Day, which is Monday,
Sept. 5.
The unintentional consequence, Edwards noted, is

that we can end the school
year one week earlier. Some
may like that.
He added that the early
start has resulted in yet another unintended but possibly
welcome consequence; the
acceleration of the ongoing
projects at Orchard Primary.

In their discussions
regarding the new date,
board members felt it was
appropriate to get a jump

August considering many
students were already on

The first week will constitute four days, with staff
and students getting an early

seamless and of as high
quality as possible. Our
entire faculty, from
Kindergarten teachers to
High School Advanced

Placement teachers are
receiving common training
in the same methods. This is
atypical, in that most training happens at the department or grade/building level,
so teachers are usually working on different goals at the
beginning of the year, he
said.
He notes the district is
grateful for continued support from the community
and looks forward to a new
opportunity with PNC Bank
and their Grow Up Great
program that will see bank
employees from the Imlay
City branch volunteering
100-plus hours in the districts preschool program in
the new school year.
Cameron will officially
assume his duties as superintendent next month when Dr.
Gary Richards retires after
20 years with Imlay City
Schools.
Other staff with new
titles include Dr. Dina Tallis
who will serve as Director of
Elementary Education and
Student Support Services,
and Megan Cottone who
succeeds Tallis as principal
at Borland Elementary. In
her new role, Tallis will
oversee a new Multi-Tiered
System of Support program
as well as elementary curric-
ulum and instruction and

state and federal programming.
Schools hours are 9 a.m.
to 3:40 p.m. at Weston
Elementary, 8:50 a.m. to
3:30 p.m. at Borland
Elementary, 7:40 a.m. to
2:15 p.m. at the Middle
School, 7:35 a.m. to 2:10
p.m. at the HighSchool and
7:30 a.m. to 2:05 p.m. at
Venture High School.
Bells are ringing this

week at the Imlay City
Christian School where staff
and students reported to
class yesterday, August 23.
A pre-Labor Day start is
not unusual for the private
institution. Theyll start
their summer 2017 break
a bit earlier than others on
June 9.
The school, home to
grades preschool through
eighth, will see all its staff
return and proudly welcomes
new families for the 2016-17
year, said Principal Karen
Hibbler.
Our theme for this year
is the Great Commission: Go
and make disciples of all
nations, she said.
As part of our world
studies, well be looking at
how we can make a difference in the community and
the world as a whole. We
have a great lead in with the

Olympics just finishing
up.
The school is a grateful
recipient of a grant that lets
them launch an archery program within their physical
education curriculum and
Hibbler said they hope to
expand it as a club activity
in the future.
This is also the second
year the school is utilizing
Chromebooks in their middle school classrooms.
Hibbler said students, utilizing Google Classroom, are
able to submit assignments
online and, along the way, be
sustainable.
Students can do a lot of
editing and revising without
using a lot of paper, she
said.
In the coming weeks and
months, the school community will stay busy with
activities and fundraisers
including their annual pasty
sale and second annual
Turkey Trot.
Look for staff and students out and about when
they enjoy a picnic on the
third Friday of the month.
The school day for all
grades is 8:50 a.m. to 3:34
p.m.

Fear not loyal high school
football fans, the wait for
another season to get underway is now down to just a few
days.
Here is a look at how our
Tri-City Area squads fared a
year ago, what players they
lose to graduation, their top

returnees and their outlook
for the upcoming 2016 campaign.
At Almont, James Leusby
is back for his second season
as the Raiders head coach.
Last fall Almont forged
an 8-3 record. That included

there they got posted a 10-3
win against Marine City at
home, before bowing out with
a 13-0 road setback to Marine
City.
Leusby returns 17 previous letterwinners on this
years roster of 41 players.
He lists linebacker Austin
Kosinski, who now plays at
Michigan Tech, and quarterback Adam Finn as Almonts
key losses due to graduation.
Offensive/defensive lineman Zach Wranosky, runningback Zach Revoldt and
defensive tackle Brendan
Ecker are Almonts top returnees.
As far as the who he
believes may top the BWAC
standings when all is said and
done, Leusby opted not to
single out any one team for
that distinction.
We are very excited
about the effort our team has
put in during the offseason,
Leusby commented. With

Are you ready for some football? FEARLESS

It is hard to believe that

the start of another football season is
just
around
the corner.
Here
is a
look at
this
weeks
contests

and the
teams I
predict will prevail:
Football...
Michigan Lutheran
Seminary at Almont.
Make no mistake about

it this Thursdays non-conference clash between host
Almont and Michigan
Lutheran Seminary is a
must-see affair.
Almont enters the fray
coming off an 8-3 campaign.
This contest shapes up
as a difficult opening test
for Almont, arguably their
toughest in years.
For Almont to get the
win, they will have to rely
heavily on their experience.
With 17 returning lettermen
on their squad, that should
bode well for the Raiders.
That is why I predict a
21-18 Almont victory here.
Imlay City at Burton

Bentley.
This is a game that
should be the most lopsided
of all those involving our
Tri-City squads this week.
One need only look at
last years meeting, a game
which saw Imlay City prevail 36-6, to understand
why someone would come
to that conclusion.
In that clash, Imlay City
jumped out to a 29-0 advantage at the halftime break
and went on to register a
triumph.
While a great deal can
change over a year, I still
believe Imlay City will
have cause to celebrate
when the final seconds tick

off the clock. I will take
the Spartans in a 30-8 runaway.
Capac at ElktonPigeon BayPort.
Capac heads into
Fridays non-league battle
with host Elkton-Pigeon
BayPort looking to avenge
last years 21-0 defeat.
In that contest, Capac
spotted them a 7-0 edge
after one quarter and a 21-0
advantage at the halftime
break. They then played
them even the rest of the
way.
This time around Capac
will look to get out to a better start. If the Chiefs can
hang tough for a half, which

they are capable of doing,
good things could follow.
When the clock zeroes
out, I see Capac pulling out
a 14-12 upset victory.
Dryden at Morrice
I will be the first to
admit my scouting report
for Fridays other contest
involving a Tri-City squad
is not as thorough.
What I do know is when
they met a year ago Morrice
made Dryden absorb a 69-6
loss.
I see it being closer this
time around. Give me
Morrice to post a 28-6 win.
Drydens key losses due to

graduation.
Sean Riley (tight end/cornerback), Chase Fremstad
center/defensive tackle), Eric
Johnson (fullback/defensive
tackle), Blake Porter (fullback/linebacker), Hunter Gall
(halfback/linebacker), Travis
Walton (tight end/defensive
tackle), Nick Bristol (guard/
linebacker) and Jarrod Adams
(guard/defensive tackle) are
Drydens top returnees.
Hutchinson
listed
Deckerville as the likely
NCTL frontrunner. He also
thinks Kingston, Peck and
North Huron could be in the
mix when all is said and
done.
Dryden gets their 2016
season
underway
this
Thursday when it travels to
Morrice for a non-league
meeting. That battle begins
at 7 p.m.

(halfback/linebacker), are
Capacs top returnees.
Capac gets their 2016
season underway this Friday
when it travels to ElktonPigeon BayPort for a nonleague meeting. That battle
begins at 7 p.m.
At Imlay City, Steve
Lestage starts his second season as Spartans head coach.
Last fall Imlay City posted a 3-6 overall mark. That
included a 1-6 record as far
as
Blue Water Area
Conference clashes were
concerned, leaving them in
seventh place.
Lestage welcomes back
10 previous letterwinners on
this years roster of 25 players.
He lists Dylan Hammond
(quarterback/linebacker),
Seth Reiff (wide receiver/
defensive back), Nick Sears
(offensive line/linebacker),
Cole Inwood (offensive line/
defensive line), Pat Pauli
(running
back/defensive
back), Tyler Livingston (wide
receiver/defensive back),
Seth Hawthorne (wide
receiver/linebacker), Orlando
Ramirez (offensive line/linebacker) and Derek Nolin
(wide
receiver/defensive
back) as Imlay Citys key
losses due to graduation.
Adriel Rojas (running
back/defensive back), Jaykob
Shaw (offensive line/defensive line), Jack Forti (wide
receiver/defensive back),
Jacob Gleasure (quarterback/
defensive back), Robert Pettit
(wide
receiver/defensive

John King (wide receiver/
linebacker),
Remington
Patterson (offensive line/
defensive line) and Reid
Bannister (wide receiver/
defensive back) as Imlay
Citys top returnees.
Lestage says it is difficult
to pinpoint which squad
should be considered the
favorite for the BWAC title.
The league is very
strong, Lestage said. There
are no weak opponents on
our league schedule, he
noted.
We will continue to
improve each day in practice
and work hard.
