Jessica Waldeck warns that heroin and opiate
addiction are becoming all too common among
young people.
Waldeck says the impact of these drugs are
now being felt across Lapeer County, where
growing numbers of concerned residents are taking action to educate local parents and families.
In an effort to stem the tide of addiction,
Waldeck recently founded Help Color Our
Community With H.O.P.E., a community-based
organization dedicated to creating greater public
awareness of the insidious nature of heroin and
opiates.

Imlay City grads inspire youths

Van Dyk brothers promote physical fitness during visit to middle school for ACES Day
IMLAY CITY Spartan

gear is the norm at Imlay City
Middle School but on
Wednesday, many students
and staff traded the districts
gold and blue garb for the
green and white variety, in
honor of two special guests.
Matt Van Dyk, a 2012 Imlay
City grad and current member
of Michigan State Universitys
basketball squad, along with
his brother, Adam, a 2009
alumnus, stopped by the
school to talk about physical
fitness as part of a special
ACES (All Children Exercise
Simultaneously) Day program.
Every year, teacher Greg
Prendergast arranges for former Spartans to speak to
sixth, seventh and eighth
grade students who can attest
to the importance of staying
fit and leading health lifestyles in conjunction with
ACES Day. ACES Day is
marked across the nation and
now across the world every
May since 1989.

The brothers encouraged
students to set goals, utilize
an accountability partner and
consider the opportunities
available through sports.
Having a sibling is a real
blessing, Adam said.
We shared a room and
became each others accountability partners.
Every night, the brothers
reminded each other to say
their prayers and do 50 pushups before turning in.
When I dont feel like
working out, hell push me to
do it, Adam said of Matt,
noting that a close friend can
serve as an accountability
partner too.
Matt said his dreams
came true when he earned a
spot on the Division One team
for the 2014-15 season.
Fitness will open up
doors to you and this dream
has opened up even more
doors, he said, mentioning
things like the opportunity to
travel and meet new people.
Staying active and build-
ing relationships with others

led Matt to play a wide variety of sports in high school.
When asked why he settled
on basketball, Matt said he
wanted to follow in his dads
footsteps. Growing up on the
family farm meant winter was
the best sports season for
Doug Van Dyk and his brother Dennis. Both excelled on
the basketball court as
Spartans too. Doug also
attended Michigan State and
is a current Imlay City school
board member and Dennis
has served as a coach in the
district.
The brothers grew up as
die hard State fans too. Adam
noted their bedroom was
painted in the school colors
and their outdoor basketball
court resembled that of the
Breslin Center in East
Lansing.
We live and breathe
green, Adam said.
Just as family has played
an integral role in this athletic
career, the same holds true
now that Matt is playing at

TNUand police target suspected drug house

By Tom Wearing
IMLAYCITY
Thumb Narcotics Unit (TNU)

officers and Imlay City police
on Wednesday, May 11, executed a search warrant at a
suspected drug house in the
500 block of Almont Avenue.
Michigan State Police Lt.
Doug Rogers of TNU reported Thursday that a 19-yearold male and two females,
ages 18 and 19, were inside

the residence at the time of
the search.
During the search, officers discovered and seized
small amounts of suspected
heroin, along with prescription pills and drug paraphernalia.
Rogers said no arrests
were made pending the
results of an investigation,
though he believes charges
may still be forthcoming
from the Lapeer County
Prosecutors Office.
Rogers said both TNU
officers and Imlay City police
had received tips about possible drug activity at the
house, along with allegations
of prostitution.
Rogers added that one of

the females had posted a
request online, offering sexual favors for a small amount
of narcotics.
All three suspects have
been released for now, said
Rogers. But there still could
be charges once the prosecutors office reviews all of the
details of the case.

New look for new patrol car

Imlay City police vehicle bears Spartan logo
By Tom Wearing
IMLAYCITY The
police department has taken
possession of its newest patrol
car.
The departments newlyacquired 2016 Ford Explorer
replaces a 2009 Dodge
Charger with more than
80,000 miles on the odometer.
Police Chief Scott Pike
unveiled the fully-outfitted
vehicle for city commissioners at last Tuesdays (May 3)
regular city meeting.
The commission had
approved the purchase of the
black all-wheel-drive vehicle
at a cost of $27,000, plus outfitting costs totaling about
$3,000.
This new vehicle is more
streamlined and sleeker, but
is also roomier for our officers, Pike said. Its a really
nice car.
He noted that the vehicle
has been additionally outfitted with the Imlay City High
School Spartan logo on the
side.
Id seen other departments do it and thought it
would be good to acknowledge our hometown sports
teams, said Pike. People
seem to like it.
Pike said current plans
are to continue utilizing the
Dodge Charger, but as an
administrative non-emergency vehicle for the department.
In a related matter, he
pointed out that the department will soon be seeking
bids on yet another used
patrol car; a 2007 Crown
Victoria with about 114,000
miles.

CAPAC Could a portion of the Middle School

take on new life as a recreation center?
Council members briefly
discussed the matter at their
May 2 meeting after hearing
from
Capac
Schools
Superintendent
Steve
Bigelow.
As part of the districts
restructuring plan, Capac
Schools will move sixth, seventh and eighth grades out of
the Middle School for the
2016-17 school year and
relocate their Virtual Program
in the newer wing of the

Neeper Street building.
Bigelow said the village
was welcome to use the facilities as well. Depending on
its use, the district plans to
turn off utilities to unused
portions of the building as a
cost-saving
measure,
Bigelow noted.
Council President John
Grzyb said hed like for parks
and recreation committee
members to explore options
for using the schools gymnasium as a rec center.
Grzyb said that discussion cant really occur until
the villages next budget
cycle starts in July.

Spartronics excellent adventure
Imlay Citys FIRST Robotics team competes at Worlds in St. Louis
one collision set the team

back in competition.
We were going over
some pretty rough obstacles
and a radio wire got shaken
loose. When you have a 120
pound robot bouncing over
blocks, it loosens things up,
Heeke said.
At another point, an
errant connection cause their

pneumatics to fail. Later,
their machine was involved
in a three-way collision,
knocking off one of its tracks.
That wasnt the only
challenge they encountered.
Considering this was a world
contest, forming alliances
with international teams
meant that communicating

was difficult at times.
The days were long too,
starting at 7 a.m. and going
until 6 p.m. but Heeke said
during breaks, students had
the chance to do some sightseeing in the historic city.
Besides the Arch, Forest
Park was a popular attraction. The home of the 1904
Worlds Fair, it boasts a zoo,
art museum, science museum
and more.
A convention and trade
show associated with FIRST
Robotics also caught their
attention with lots of handson activities.
Although they didnt
make it to finals, it was a
thrill to watch the contest.
Heeke said it was impressive
to see the level at which
those robots were made
including those that were
fully automated.
The group was due to
have a post-trip meeting on
Thursday, May 5 to discuss
their season think about the
future.

By Tom Wearing
IMLAYCITY Officer

car and committing domestic
violence on a woman.

Problem or solution in search of a problem?

Today
the
U.S.
Department of Justice and
Department of Education
issued a release that makes it
clear that those bureaucrats
who make policy havent an
ounce of common sense.
The current law provides
that schools may not discriminate on the basis of sex.
When first applied this led to
an explosion of female sports
teams at both the college and
high school level. Now that
same policy is being used to
assert that separation of individuals based upon their biological sex without accommodating the sexual choice
(gender identity) arbitrarily
chosen by the individual is a
violation of Title IX of the
United States Code. Gender
identity being defined as
whatever gender a person
decides to be on any particular day. A student born male
can simply walk into a school
administrators office, state
he identifies as female and
baboom, he is eligible to
shower in the girls locker
room, play on the girls basketball team and use the girls
bathroom. Picture this, a 6
6, 240-pound sophomore
person, born male, now on
the high school girls basketball team. Will it happen?
Maybe. Maybe not. But will
some 16-year-old boys
declare their gender identity
as female so as to shower
with their 16 year old female
classmates to peruse their
various attributes as well as
to display their own? The
probability of the answer
being yes is about 99%.
The published policy
states a schools obligation is
to allow students to participate in sex-segregated activities and access sex-segregated facilities consistent with
their gender identity. With
this policy there is no longer
any distinction between the
sexes. One can be whatever
one wants whenever one
Our Opinion
No community immune
from drug addiction, abuse
he opiate drug epidemic spans the country and the state, and communities large
and small find themselves dealing with
the loss of loved ones and/or the total destruction of once-promising lives.
No community is immune from the problem, which despite its devastation has been
gathering steam and wrecking havoc with families, emergency personnel, physicians, law
enforcement and the legal system.
Like many in the Lapeer County area,
22-year-old Imlay City resident Jessica
Waldeck has seen the ravages of drug addiction
firsthand, and she wants to do something about
it.
Next Saturday, May 28, residents will have
a chance to learn about the problem and work
toward finding solutions at the H.O.P.E.
(Heroin Overdose Prevention Education) Color
Run at the track behind Imlay City Middle
School. From 10 a.m.-2 p.m. visitors can take
part in the run/walk, or listen in as guest speakers from law enforcement, treatment/therapy
experts and those whose lives have been affected by heroin and opiate abuse, speak about the
problem. Parents will have a chance to learn
the signs of drug abuse, and ways they can prevent their families from falling victim to the
epidemic. Waldeck is working in collaboration
with Lapeer Countys Families Against
Narcotics.
In Lapeer County alone, there have been 12
overdoses and four deaths from January
through March of this yearand many more
lives impacted along the way.
We encourage area residents to turn out for
the eventto learn about the problem thats
occurring right here, right now, and to work
together toward a solution. Lets support
Waldeck and FAN Help Color Our
Community with H.O.P.E.
wants. Gender changing by

the minute is not inappropriate nor prohibited. In order to
receive the benefits of this
policy a student need do nothing more than declare the
gender he/she identifies with.
Nothing more.
Does this make any sense
at all? Is this a problem or is
this a solution in search of a
problem? We have infrastructure throughout the nation
that is crumbling. We have an
economy that is growing at
slightly less than 2% and a
debt that cannot be sustained
at that growth rate. A crisis

along our borders and in our
country with illegal immigration. Terrorism knocking at
our door along with the multitude of threats from Russia,
Iran, North Korea and China.
What is our fearless leader
and his minions concerned
about? Whether some boy
who thinks hed like to be a
girl gets to go and shower
with the girls and use their
toilets.
People who sit around
and worry about things such
as this and write the policy
have way too much time on

their hands. We could reduce
government spending by
eliminating their jobs and
their wasted effort on such
foolishness. Even worse the
federal government threatens
to cut off school funding for
those schools that dont comply. Another example of government knowing what is best
because we, out here in flyover country, are just too stupid to understand and we
must listen to our betters.
Could it be this attitude has,
in part, spawned the success
of Donald Trump? Just asking.

Perhaps our all-knowing
bureaucrats could forget
about transgender issues and
start thinking how to stop the
senseless shootings of black
citizens in the major cities of
this country. There is a real
life problem that needs to be
dealt with, but it wont be. It
doesnt have nearly the same
cachet as does a boy wearing
a bra, in a dress, and in a
girls bathroom.
John L. Lengemann
Imlay City
State
Representative
Gary Howells letter to the
editor in last weeks Tri-City
Times describing what facts
he based his no vote for the
Detroit Public Schools bailout was refreshing.
A state lawmaker who
actually analyzes a proposed
bill from his constituents
point of view, not voting how
the party tells him; again
refreshing. It is difficult to
understand how after five
emergency mangers were
appointed by two Governors,
the Detroit Public Schools
(DPS) are still in physical
and financial decay. If it were
not for the teachers bringing
these conditions to light; the
Mayor, the State Legislature

and the Governor would still
be oblivious to the plight of
the teachers and students.
I find it difficult to
believe that through all the
years of emergency managers operating the DPS not a
Mayor, not a state legislator
or a Governor visited the
Detroit schools. No one discussed with teachers what
progress these managers
were achieving; no one saw
the decaying buildings? Did
anyone think it necessary to
evaluate the performance of
these managers? The state
just continued signing and
sending them their paychecks. I hope we did not
give these managers severance checks when they left.

You have to wonder if the
Governor and the legislators
ever regret their decision to
enable the city of Detroit to
sell $283 million in municipal bonds (58% of the arena
cost) and donate that money
to a billionaire to help pay for
the hockey arena. The
Governor told us the $283
million would create jobs at
the sports arena. What kind
of jobs, parking cars, selling
popcorn or mopping up
vomit from beer swelling
sports fans? I think that $283
million invested in the DPS
would have started many
Detroit children down mean-
ingful career paths; a career

they can retire from, and
looking back, say to themselves I made a difference.
Sincerely,
Tom Janicki
Almont Twp.
Refreshing state lawmaker in Lansing
People poisoned to save dollars
On May 4th, the President

came to Flint to address citizens who are suffering with
poisoned, toxic water. Gov.
Snyder felt he should show
up and speak.
Snyder was met with
constant, loud booing. He
kept trying to be heard and
uncontrollably blinked in
discomfort.
This is the FIRST time
he has appeared in person to
talk with Flints residents.
His long overdue heart-felt
apology might have been
believed had he delivered it a
year-and-a-half ago in person.
But no, we were looking
at our businessman-nerd,
who decided that balancing a
budget justified destroying
homes and lives.
This has been the unfor-
tunate solution Snyder and

the Republicans in Lansing
have applied to many of
Michigans problems.
Even after the people
voted against allowing
Snyder to appoint Emergency
Managers to over-rule elected officials, Snyder and
Republicans in Lansing
tweaked the law and implemented
it
anyway.
Emergency
Managers
appointed by Snyder earn
exorbitant salaries to slash
the budgets in schools and
cities to balance them.
None of these actions
take into account what
caused the problems or the
effect of these cuts to the
entities the EMs are sent to
help. In Flints case, people
were poisoned to save some
dollars.
With Republicans in
absolute control of Michigan
(they have majorities in the
Senate, House, Supreme
Court, and the governorship)
it fosters the egotistical
belief they can do whatever
they want. They alone own
what has happened in Flint.
It is ironic that on the day
the President delivered his
personal message to the citizens of Flint, the Republicans
in the Senate were talking
about animal cruelty and an
old sodomy law. These
Republicans, like Snyder,
would rather deal with these
so-called problems than look
into the faces of those who
are suffering from their lack
of honest, responsible and
caring governing.

Up to us to take back public school system
On May 11, the Michigan

State Board of Education held
a meeting that the public was
invited to attend in Lansing
about the statement and guidance on safe and supportive
learning environments for
LGBTQ students. The meeting lasted for nine hours
because the 100-plus persons
in attendance were allowed
the opportunity to speak.
There were fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, young people, pastors,
lesbians, gays, bisexuals,
transgender and questioning
gender people. Educators,

lawyers, social workers, doctors, homemakers, and home
schoolers were there to give
their three minute response to
the plan that Brian Whiston,
the Michigan Department of
Education (MDE) State
Superintendent sent to the
State Board of Education
(SBE) members.
The SBE encourages districts to: Adopt, implement
and enforce policies protecting students from harassment,
violence and discrimination
based on their real or per-
ceived sexual orientation,

gender identity, and/or gender
expression. Anyone interacting with students (coaches,
bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and custodians) could
attend professional development workshops to help
understand, assess and
improve safety for all students.
A disconcerting idea is
students would be allowed to
use the restroom and locker
room in accordance with their

The City would like to

express its appreciation to
several volunteers who
helped make the Fourth
Grade Foresters Program, in
recognition of the Citys
Arbor Day Celebration, a
success.
Thank you to the Rotary

ts Monday morning and Im

going through the email
inbox when I spot the familiar
prompt:
cminolli@pageone-inc.com,
feedback submitted.
Those few words always
bring about
a mix of
thrill and
apprehension. Thrill,
because
someone
has taken
time to
comment
one of
on
our stories
(or letters,
columns,
editorials,
etc.) online. Apprehension
because not all of those who
take time to comment do so in
what I would define as a

nice way. While the latter is
unusual, its not entirely
uncommon, and sometimes it
takes all my might not to
scorch the keyboard with one
of my own less than skilled
replies.
I dont know which category this one will fall into
when I click on the email and
read the content. Oh, good!
This ones in the thrill category, for sure. Its so tender and
so heartfelt that tears spring
from my eyes. I am filled with
gratitude that part of the job
we do here elicits such poignant sentiment. At the same
time, Im awestruck that Ilive
in an age where people from
all corners of the globe have
access to the words we put out
there, and can comment on
them from wherever they sit.
The feedback is posted to

a story that was on the front
page a couple of weeks ago. It
was called A cross cultural
adventure, and featured Imlay
Citys foreign exchange studentsall four of them,
including Juliana Siqueira
from Brazil.
I click on the link to post,
and just like that the following
comments visible online for
all to see:
I am Julianas father. Im
very proud of the Juliana performance. She is grow up in
the last ten months. Id like to
congratulation the other girls
to finish their mission. The
Pickelhaupt family are the best
family. We (my wife and I) are
so grateful. This family open
their arms to our daughter.
Id like to thank the Imlay

that help us to take care of

intimidating, and to be excelling at it. I think of my own

whenever he showed that same

A soft day...
Clint Hill: Six seconds in Dallas
n the last fifty years I have

seen the Zapruder film of
the assassination of President
Kennedy dozens of times. In
the film, I see a Secret
Service agent run as fast as
he can to get to and jump
into the Presidential limousine. Unfortunately, he didnt
make it in time.
That Secret Service agent
was
32-yearold
Clinton J.
Hill. On
Saturday,
May 7, I
had the
honor of
meeting
Agent Hill Rick Liblong
at the
Newseum
in Washington. He is now
84. He appeared as part of a
book signing tour with his
co-author, Lisa McCubbin.
They have co-authored three
books, Five Days in
November, Mrs. Kennedy
and Me, and the latest book,
Five Presidents about his
guarding of Presidents
Eisenhower, Kennedy,
Johnson, Nixon and Ford.
All the Liblong day..
Ms. McCubbin also co-wrote

The Kennedy Detail with
Secret Service agent Gerald
Blaine.
Hill was with the Secret
Service from 1958 to 1975
and wishes no one had ever
heard of him. He would have
gladly done his service in
secret, so to speak. But
November 22, 1963 changed
all that for good.
Hill was assigned as the
Special Agent in Charge of
the detail protecting Mrs.
Kennedy. At first, he said, he
was upset at that assignment.
He had been on the
Presidential Protective Detail
with Eisenhower and thought
that being assigned to the
new First Lady was a demotion. It wasnt and he came
to know and admire Mrs.
Kennedy and the children,
Caroline and John. He was
also able to spend a lot of
time with the new President
when the family was together.
Unlike Ike who, when he
wanted something, would
just holler, Agent! the
Kennedys called all of the
agents by name and knew
them as people as well as

Speaking of Good Health program

Editors note: The following guest column was submitted the Loving Hands
Clinic in Lapeer. You may
reach the clinic at 810-6678933.
nder the leadership of its
volunteer Medical
Director, Nancy Brinker, DO,
the Loving Hands Clinic
continues to expand its community-wide Health Outreach
Services and Programs. In
the fall of 2015, the clinic
began presenting its medical
education programs called,
Speaking of Good Heath.
In addition to its well established 10 hour expanded
Diabetic Education Class,
which is presented three
times per year, Speaking
of Good Health is a free,
one hour informational overview presentation of the
medical conditions people in
the greater Lapeer County
area have indicated they
would like most to learn
about.
On Wednesday, May 25
from 2-3 p.m. at the
Deerfield Township Hall, 30
Burnside Road, North
Branch, the Clinic will offer
a free program entitled
Heart and Vascular Disease,
Lifestyle for a Healthy
Heart. The program will be
presented by Loving Hands
Clinic Medical Director,
Nancy Brinker, DO and will
cover the basics of Cardiac

Care, Prevention and
Common Treatment.
Cathy Johnson,
Executive Director of the
Loving Hands Clinic says,
these programs have been
so much fun to present
because our audiences have
asked some very interesting
questions, there are lots of
laughs, and there is an opportunity for some really great
interaction between our
guests and the Medical
Professionals who present
the material. Our feedback
has been great!
Cathy goes on to say,
plus the attendees get some
really great refreshments, and
we give out terrific door
prizes. Our attendees love
that!
Since late last fall, the
Clinic has conducted programs about Heart Disease,
High Blood Pressure, Dental
Care, Kidney Disease and
Cholesterol. The Clinic plans
to offer these programs on a
rotational basis. In the future,
the Clinic is planning a
Mens Health Event, but
the details still need to be
ironed out. Up to now, the
Clinic has presented their
programs at the Loving
Hands Clinic location, but
beginning on May 25, the
Clinic will be presenting
their programs at various
locations in the community.

The Speaking of Good
Health team from the
Loving Hands Clinic are also
available to present their one
hour programs to various
community groups and organizations.
Dr. Brinker and all our
Primary Care practitioners
who have previously volunteered here, or are currently
volunteering here at the
Clinic, including Robert
Brengel, DO, Brian Beck,
DO, Edwin DeLange, DO,
David Essak, MD, Jerry
Reinhardt, DO, William
Starbird, MD, Marsha
Schultz, PA, Anita Harrand,
C-FNP, Karen Kegler,
C-FNP, and Sally Potter, registered dental hygienist, have
a heart for service and teaching.
Sally volunteers here
under the supervision of
local area dentist, Paul
Schmude, DDS, says Cathy.
We would not be able to
provide any of our dental
services without his support.
Although we continue
to see low income uninsured
patients, and qualified lowincome insured adult residents of Lapeer County at
the Loving Hands Clinic, we
feel this is an exciting and
rewarding opportunity to
reach out to the Community
by teaching people about
their chronic illnesses in a

relaxed atmosphere that provides time to ask questions,
and for people to really
understand how their medical
conditions effect their overall
health.
The Clinic also provides
a monthly on-site visit to all
the area soup kitchens (Food
for Families) called the Cuff
Patrol. The patrol consists
of an assigned volunteer
Registered Nurse, Dr.
Brinker, and an administrator
from the Clinic, who helps
provide information about
area resources and services.
Guests at the soup kitchens
have an opportunity to have
their blood pressure checked
and are given a permanent
card to use as a record for
their own family physician
appointments. Cathy says,
Dr. Brinker is a special part
of the patrol, and provides
encouragement, love and
wisdom, as well as, medical
information, when appropriate. Some of the soup kitchen
guests are longtime former
patients of Dr. Brinker, but
now that she is retired from
private practice, treasure the
opportunity to see her.

If you would like more
information about the Loving
Hands Clinic, or any of its
classes, programs, or other
services, contact the Clinic at

Several years ago during

our lavender harvest, I sat
under the farms pavilion
with my friend Martha, bundling lavender as a downpour waned to a sprinkle. A
guest sauntered downhill and
introduced herself,
announced she was celebrating her retirement from the
Detroit Public Library. She
inhaled the scented air. I
love a soft day like this. It
reminds me of a poem. Lo
and behold, she recited the
verses.
A soft day, thank God!
A wind from the south
With honeyed mouth;
A scent of drenching
leaves,
Briar and beech and
lime,
White elder-flower and
thyme,
And the soaking grass
smells sweet,
Crushed by my two bare
feet,
While the rain drips,
Drips, drips, drips from
the eaves.
A soft day, thank God!
The hills wear a shroud
Of silver cloud;
The web the spider
weaves
Is a glittering net;
The woodland path is
wet,
And the soaking earth
smells sweet
Under my two bare feet,
And the rains drips,
Drips, drips, drips from
the leaves.
Dear Reader, Martha
cross-stitched the poem for
the retired librarian, and a
replica for me. Martha
passed this time last year,
and Ive lost touch with my
farm visitor. Yet, I have
Winifred Lettss poem, a gift
from both, to praise such a
day as this.
Martha and Winifred sit
beside me with my cousins,
aunt, and uncle. We contemplate together the timeless
colors of a soft day, its honeyed mouth from the south.

hen John Bringard was
5-years-old, he suffered a serious stroke, leaving him without the ability to
walk and only minimal use
of his hands. John is now a
junior attending Mayville
High School in Lapeer
County.
John wanted to attend his
prom this year, however getting him to the event was
causing some concerns
because his family did not
have a vehicle that could
safely transport him. Thats
when Ray Herington, a
Lapeer County EMS employee, was contacted by an old
friend named Brenda GuerinRubino. Brenda shared her
concerns with Ray and asked
if he could help her find
transportation for John. Ray
contacted his employer and
asked if Lapeer County EMS
would transport John to the
prom. Ray offered to volunteer his time, and Lapeer
John Bringard in his

Equalized values on rise in 2016

By Maria Brown
TRI-CITY AREA
Both Lapeer and St. Clair
counties saw their state equalized values grow in 2016.
Greg Hill, director of both
counties equalization departments, presented commissioners with their respective
annual reports which review
the assessment rolls for all
cities, villages and townships
within their borders.

Lapeer County realized a
5.5 percent countywide
increase in value from 2015
to 2016 from $3.273 to $3.454
billion while St. Clair's grew
by 3.8 percent from $6.302 to
$6.542 billion.
In Lapeer County, Dryden
Township saw one of the biggest gains in equalized value
at 11.43 percent while the city
of Imlay City saw the biggest
loss of -8.16 percent.
Conversely the citys taxable

value fell by 10.54 percent.
All others in the Tri-City area
saw their equalized value
increase: 6.42 percent for
Almont Twp., 8.35 percent
for Arcadia Twp., 7.71 percent for Attica Twp., 5.08
percent for Goodland Twp.,
6.28 percent for Imlay Twp.,
In the Tri-City area,
Almont Township saw one of
the largest increases in taxable value at 2.89 percent.
In St. Clair County, Berlin

Township saw one of the biggest changes in equalized values, a gain of nearly eight
percent. Mussey Township
was one of only three townships that saw their taxable
values decline, falling by 1.67
percent. Lynn Townships
taxable value grew by 3.07
percent. Of the 23 townships
in the county, Lynn has the
lowest equalized and taxable
values.
Motorist dies after colliding with tree

By Tom Wearing
LAPEERCOUNTY
A 35-year-old Lapeer woman
died on Monday (May 16)
when her 2002 Mercury Sable
collided head-on with a tree
on Clark Rd. in Lapeer
Township.
Sheriffs Det./Sgt. Jason

Parks reported that the victim,
a mother of four, Jacy Perry,
was the lone occupant of the
vehicle, which was traveling
northbound on Clark, north of
Turrill Rd. at around 6:21
p.m.
Det./Sgt. Parks said Perry
was pronounced dead at the
scene after having been

extricated from her vehicle
by Lapeer City Fire and
Rescue.

Parks added that a
preliminary investigation
does not suggest that
either excessive speed or
alcohol were factors in the
crash.

Mom, its been a year without youIn tears we
saw you sinking we watched you fade away. Our
hearts were broken you fought so hard to stay but
when we watched you sleeping so peacefully free
from pain we wouldnt wish you back to suffer
that again. Our hearts still ache with sadness,
secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you no
one will ever know. When we are sad and lonely
and things seem to go wrong, seems like we can
hear you whisper cheer up and carry on. Each
time I look at your picture you seem to smile
and say dont cry, Im sleeping we will meet again
someday. There is not a day that goes by that I
dont think of you and miss you. Even though you
are gone away I feel you are with me now more
than ever in my every day. I know you have been
watching over me and have helped keep me safe.
Thank you mom for everything! Im still keeping
my promises, I always will, Im taking care of dad,
Pilar and your cobblestone house. I will always
honor you and your place at the ponds, although
it will never be the same without you and your
voice! Every beautiful thing reminds me of you
and when Im complimented on being like you
it makes me feel like a beautiful, accomplished
woman! Although this Mothers Day, my birthday
and the day you passed away will be bitter sweet.
I will smile and feel you in my heart and I will
remember I was so blessed for you and me!
I miss you, I love youlove your youngest Coleen.

has always been this way.
Emotional, much like my own

in many hours including
weekends, but quick to smile
and make jokes.
Also like my own dad,
Julianas is determined and
dedicated to being a success,
yet true to himself, through

He is one of the most
honest men that Iknow,
Juliana says, and inside, hes
a real sweetheart. He really
inspired me. He always told
me that knowledge is the most
precious thing you can have,
and he motivates me to do
more.
Julianas not the first in
her family to venture overseas
for an education. Her older
brother, Andr, was an
exchange student in
Cincinnati, Ohio, and that
whetted Julianas appetite for
a similar experience.
I was so excited when he
went, Iwanted to know everything, she says. Today its
crazy that my own experience

Vegetative filter strips can help manage water flow and mud on farms with horses and livestock.
Dealing with mud on the horse farm

TRI-CITY AREA It
is that time of year and spring
is here, so bring on the mud
or not. If you are a caretaker
of horses you will more than
likely be dealing with mud. It
is well known why mud can
become a problem for horses.
However, it should also be
noted that mud is not all bad
and can have some benefits
for horses and their hooves.
Some reasons mud can
become a problem for horses
and the humans that are caring for them can range from
creating various horse health
issues, such as mud fever or
scratches, thrush, abscesses to
being unsightly for your farm
and neighborhood to impacts
on the environment caused by
runoff of sediments and nutrients to just being a nuisance
for caretakers when trying to
accomplish chores.
Once youve identified
the factors that contribute to
the creation and occurrence of
mud, consider these solutions
from
Michigan
State
University Extension.
Over-seeding in high
traffic areas.
Short term: Annual ryegrass (cool season grass)
establishes quickly and is relatively inexpensive. It can be
broadcast on top of the ground
and still germinate. Its best to

keep horses off seeding for as
long as possible.
Long
term:
Seed
Kentucky bluegrass into a
prepared seedbed. This grass
is suited for high traffic areas.
However, it may take up to
several months for seedlings
to fully establish which means
keeping horses off of the
seeding.
Utilize a sacrifice area
or exercise lot.
Confine horses to a designated area that is higher and
dryer with improved footing.
Utilizing a sacrifice area will
also help with pasture management by keeping horses
off of pastures during inclement weather, avoiding hooftread damage to pasture plants
and providing pasture resting
periods for forage regrowth.
Improved footing by
selecting hoof friendly
materials.
Short or intermediate
term: Scrape off accumulated
mud, manure and other organic matter. Options may
include sand (two to four
inches deep), rock (six to
eight inches deep for it to last
as it will migrate into the
soil). The size of rock used
needs to be small enough for
horses to comfortably stand
on and safely walk across;

wood chips may work in
some cases (six inches minimum, 12 inches for longer
longevity). However, it is recommended to avoid wood
chips that contain walnut.
Long term: Layering footing material (rock, sand, etc.)
along with a geotextile fabric
(synthetic filter fabric with
small holes that water can
pass through but not soil particles) which will likely
require some degree of excavation. A resource from the
University of Vermont provides an illustrated step by
step guide that includes using
pea stone as the top layer.
Excavating contractors will
be able to help you identify
what sources of layering
material may work best and
are locally available in your
area.
Establish and utilize
vegetative filter strips as
mud managers.
Short term: If you have
identified how water is flowing or accumulating, fence off
a particular area to allow the
vegetation to remain (not
grazed or overgrazed). This
may assist with capturing
some of the water or possibly
divert it to a more desirable
location.
Long term: Establishing

permanent vegetative filter
strips (up slope and down
slope from high use areas)
which may require the reorganization of current farm layout (fencing, shelter location,
access to drinking water, etc.)
Mud management may
require evaluating your
respective situation from a
different perspective contrary
to what management practices you may have implemented or have just dealt with in
the past.

weather within one weeks
span. It teases our senses but
what does it mean for those
crops in the ground?
Studies show that weather fluctuation impacts soybeans less than other field
crops like corn.
According to a press
release from Ohio State
University Extension, soybean vegetative and reproductive stages overlap and
that allows the plants to
weather stress over short
periods.
Much of the evidence for
this argument was gleaned
from information collected in
2012 when much of the
Midwest experienced an
early spring and very dry
summer, notes Laura Lindsey,
a soybean and small grains
specialist.
As shown in 2012, even
if the plants experience stress
early in the season, they can
still recover later in the season depending on when and
how much rainfall they
receive, she said.
At this point, she said,
the best thing soybean growers can do is to focus on the
things they can control, such
as following the best management practices for their
crops.
Seeding rates and row
spacing, planter calibration,
and ensuring field conditions
are appropriate for planting
are important considerations
to achieve optimum soybean
yields, Lindsey said.
Spring is also a good
time to pull soil samples to
test for fertility and soybean
cyst nematodes.
In Michigan, experts say
early May is the best time to
plant soybeans in the lower
half of the Lower Peninsula.
Washington Family Medicine

Soybeans are better at dealing with short term

stressors than other field crops like corn.
Growing flowers with vegetables

TRI-CITY AREA
Flowers are a must in the
vegetable garden for a multitude of reasons. Besides being
pretty, they have functional
roles in the garden as well,
making them well worth the
space you give to them.
Flowers attract pollinators, which most plants
require to bear fruit, as well
as beneficial insects, which
prey on garden pests.
Many are edible and add
diversity of texture and color,
plus they bring fragrance to
the garden!
Here are some top easyfrom-seed flower picks for
the vegetable garden, as recommended by the Home
Garden Seed Association.
Sweet alyssum is a favorite of syrphid flies. These tiny
bee look-alikes hover around
the blossoms, feeding on their
nectar, and then lay their eggs
in the vicinity of nearby aphid
colonies.
Cilantro bolts very
quickly when the weather
gets warm. Rather than pull
it, however, allow it to flower
and attract predatory wasps,
such as those that lay their
eggs in the bodies of aphids,
turning them into crusty
mummies.
Calendula is easy to
grow, and edible. Pull the
flowers apart and sprinkle the
petals on salads for color, and
a pleasantly spicy taste. They
can be added to teas as well.
Calendula attracts bees and
predator insects.
Basil is a top choice for
pesto, and a number of varieties are exceptionally bouquetworthy as well. Cardinal
features gorgeous red blooms

on burgundy stems, and a
compact habit. The glossy
green leaves and purple flowers of Christmas basil bring
beauty and pollinators to the
vegetable garden..
Nasturtiums are the ultimate edible flower, and so
easy to grow from seed! They
bring vibrant color to the garden, and a tangy flavor to
saladsboth the leaves and
the flowers are delicious.
Marigolds are often used
as a colorful border around
the vegetable garden. And
why not? They bloom all
summer, and are not generally attractive to pests. Signet
marigolds (Tagetes tenuifolia) feature lacy leaves and a
citrusy scent and reach a tidy
height of about a footand
the flowers are edible.
Zinnias are pollinator
and butterfly favorites, plus
theyre low-maintenance,
drought tolerant, and very
colorful. Think of these workhorses as allies in the garden,
as a block of zinnias will
shade out opportunistic
weeds.
Cosmos is another easy

grower. Just sprinkle seed on
loose soil and they will grow
to a statuesque height of five
feet, or in some cases to a
more manageable 18 inches,
on no time at all. The flowers
are full of dusty pollen that
bees love. The sturdy upright
stems also provide a benefit
to spiders, which use them as
supports for their webs.
Sunflowers are the party
flowers of the garden. You
will often see several types of
pollinators sharing space on
the generous flower heads.
Look underneath and you
may find an assassin bug
nymph, or another garden
predator, hanging out. Later
in the season youll see finches, chickadees, and other
seed-eating birds plucking
seeds right out of the heads.
Rudbeckia
flowers
mature over a long period of
time, providing for pollinators for much of the summer.
In addition the short-lived
perennial black-eyed Susan,
Rudbeckia hirta, is a host
plant for numerous butterflies.

Goulette: Former super is sentenced

Goulette had no prior criminal record, his attorney said
everyone is still in shock by

in January.
This is a situation that

sense, Lepley said.

The Tri-County Bank

employee that Goulette
approached in the Yale heist
prepared a statement that
was read by a crime victim
rights staff member.
I never knew that kind
of fear. You left us stunned
and shaken, the 15 year
employee said.
She said she had overcome that fear knowing justice had been served.
Goulette is due to appear
in Lapeer County for a

June 13 pre-exam conference
at 2 p.m. in district court.

lives have been negatively
impacted by heroin and opiate abuse.
Getting personal
Waldeck says she has
personally witnessed the ravages of heroin and opiates
use and has seen first-hand
the toll addiction can have
on a loved one.
My best friend growing
up got into drugs and Ive
watched her life deteriorate,
Waldeck says. Her boyfriend overdosed and now
shes in jail for contributing
to his death.
Ironically, Waldeck says
it was her best friend that
introduced her own sister,
now 19, to heroin.
Ive seen what can happen to people, she says.
Its very scary. And now
Im very concerned about the
future of my own kids.
The problem is the great
majority of parents have no
idea that heroin and opioid
addiction is happening right
under their noses, Waldeck
continues. Most people
dont know it, but from
January 22 through March
21 of this year, there have
been 12 overdoses reported

in Lapeer Countyincluding
four deaths.
Its a big problem and
its affecting kids even in
their early teens, says
Waldeck. Heroin has
become the preferred high
for kids 13 and 14 years old.
Its cheaper than marijuana
and its easier to get.
Waldeck considers it
imperative that parents heed
the warnings and become
active participants in the
fight against heroin and opiates.
There are signs of drug
usesome subtle and some
more obvious, says
Waldeck. Parents need to
know those signs so they can
act quickly. Their involvement is critical.
Waldeck says doctors
also need to take responsibility when it comes to prescribing pain medications
such as percoset, norco, oxycodone, fentanyl and others.
In most cases, these
drugs are prescribed for them
or a family member by doctors, she says. Some doctors are now prescribing in
smaller amounts and for
shorter periods of time.
She adds that the days of

faxing prescriptions is no
longer allowed. There now
must be a paper prescription
for all controlled substances, Waldeck says.

clean up the park grounds.
Gary Peltier, Almont Park
Board
Chairman/Village
Councilman was on hand to
welcome the Scouts and
thank them for their efforts
on behalf of the Park Board
and community-at-large.
Its hard to get volunteers, said Peltier, and I
want to thank all of you
for coming out on a coldrainy day to clean up the
grounds.
The park board and the
community thanks you for
your efforts.
Peltier added that the initial plans were for the Scouts
to help paint the parks picnic
tables and benches.
Those plans had to be
abandoned because of the
adverse weather conditions
on Saturday morning.
Im hoping we can
reschedule a Scouts painting
project on a future date when
the weather cooperates, said
Peltier. The tables and
benches need to get done.
Message of H.O.P..E.
Jessica Waldeck has two
children of her own; a son
age 4, and a 7-month-old
daughter.
She hopes her children
will be raised in a world in
which young people dont
feel the need to escape reality in search of a temporary
high that in too many
cases leads to death.
It is time we as a community come together to
break the silence, says
Waldeck. Keeping quiet is
only feeding the problem.
Please, join us at our
(May 28) Color Run in
Imlay City, she continues.
If we come together as a
community we can put an
end to this epidemic.
We will provide a
whole community of support
and stand up to heroin.

Townships secure
tire recycling grants
By Maria Brown

LAPEER COUNTY
Several townships have
received grant funding from
the state for tire recycling.
Last week, the Michigan
Department
of
Environmental
Quality
(MDEQ) announced that
Almont and Goodland townships each received $2,000
to fund community scrap tire
drop-off events and other
cleanups. Other recipients in
Lapeer County include

Burnside and Lapeer townships. More than $587,000
in grant funding was awarded to communities across
Michigan.
According
to
the
MDEQs press release,
improperly dumped, scrap
tires pose a fire hazard and
create mosquito breeding
grounds. Recycled, scrap
tires can be used in asphalt to
pave roads, as mulch in gardens and on playgrounds,
and in manufacturing.
The Imlay City DDA is launching an initiative for artists to create large pieces like the painting that
graced the Imlay City Post Office building last year.
Artists sought for

public art project
Selected artists will be paid for permanent installation

By Tom Wearing
IMLAYCITY Local
and outstate artists are invited
to submit examples of their
work to be considered for a
Downtown Imlay City Public
Art Initiative.
The project is being sponsored and coordinated by the
Imlay City Downtown
Development Authority following its participation in the
Detroit Institute of Arts
Inside/Out public art display
in 2014; and last years Art
in the Rough program.
DDA Director Dana
Walker said the goal of the
2016 project is to fund as
many as four artists to create
large artworks suitable for

outdoor viewing.
The artists works will be
displayed outdoors for a period of one month in mid-July,
after which they will be permanently affixed to public
buildings or in public spaces
outdoors throughout the
downtown district.
This is a unique project
and one that the DDA will
promote heavily to local and
state news outlets, said
Walker. We believe the the
program will be a tremendous success. We look forward to the possibility of
expanding its reach in future
years to the entire DDA district.
Art deadline is June 3
Walker said interested

artists must submit a resume
and samples from their portfolios to the Imlay City DDA
office by Friday, June 3.
A committee will select
up to four artists who will
create their artwork in an
open-to-the-public workshop in downtown Imlay
City. Artists coming from distances, identified as visiting
artists, could receive stipends for food and travel
costs.
From the larger group,
two resident artists will be
selected and each awarded
honorarium payments in the
amount of $1,400.
Funding for the project is

Commissioners pass Smart Meter resolution
Measure calls for DTEs opt- out fee to be eliminated

By Maria Brown
LAPEER COUNTY
At a meeting last month
county commissioners adopted a resolution in support of
residents who wish to opt out
of DTE Energys Smart Meter
program. Currently, electrical
customers can choose to not
have this new kind of meter
installed but they must pay a
fee. The county resolution
calls for this fee to be dropped.
The Lapeer County
Board of Commissioners recognize the advantages of the
utilities Smart Meter deployment while also remaining
sensitive to our residents

concerns, and thusly support
the ability of its DTE customers to opt out of the Smart
Meter program on their
homes, without suffering
financial penalties or incurring monthly charges, the
resolution reads.
They reference a bill
introduced in the Michigan
House of Representatives,
4916, that addresses concerns
from some in the public who
think the meters intrude on
personal privacy, question the
security of the data collected
or believe that emissions from
the meters are hazardous to
human health. The resolution

notes that the Michigan Public

Service Commission has
issued orders and documents
regarding advanced metering
authorizing their use while
enumerating their benefits
and minimizing any risks.
Commissioners say they
support the concepts of the
House Bill and believes an
alternative procedure-monthly self-reporting of non-transmitting meters without a fee
or penalty-should be considered by the electric company
until more health research is
conclusively presented and
security of data is ensured.
The resolution also calls for
state officials to continue
investigating citizen concerns
regarding the technology.

Imlay Citys Top Ten shine
Editors note: The following information on Imlay

City High Schools Top Ten

Billington, longtime secretary
at Imlay City High School.

IMLAY CITY A
large number of schools no
longer use the traditional
classification of Valedictorian
and Salutatorian; many other
schools are moving in that
same direction. At ICHS, we
believe the distinction to be
an important one, and one
worthy of recognition. In
2007, the guidelines for qualification and selection for
these distinctions were
reviewed to emphasize performance on the ACT examination and to reward students
for attempting the most rigorous course schedule possible. The guidelines were
designed to more closely
align them with those used
for special distinction at the
university level through the
Phi Beta Kappa system. This
system was also adopted by
the Detroit News Scholar
program and is currently
used by the Blue Water Area
Conference to determine its
highest academic honors.
The Imlay City High
School Class of 2016s valedictorian is Mary Miller,
who carries a 3.98330 grade
point average. Mary is the
daughter of Virginia and
Steve Miller of Imlay City.
Mary is a member and
president along with being
past secretary of the National
Honor Society. She has also
served as secretary all four
years for Class Council.
Mary has been a part of the
Lapeer County Community
Foundation Youth Advisory
Committee since her sophomore year, serving as president since her junior year.

Environmental/ Recycling
Club, History Club, Spanish
Club, and Relay for Life.
She has been involved in

Conference All-Academic for
girls golf and soccer in
2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15,
2015-16, girls cross country
in 2015-16. She was also 2nd
Team All-League her senior
year. Mary will be studying
chemistry and political science at Central Michigan
University in the Honors
College and the Leadership
Institute. Mary is very interested in becoming a medical
examiner, because it combines her love for science
with her drive to help others.
Her sister, Kristine Miller
has been the most influential
person in her life. Mary
states, Kristine puts her
heart into everything she
does and cares so deeply
about those around her. No
matter the task or the
class she gives everything
she has and always has a
positive mindset about everything. She will soon travel to
Indonesia to help those in
need, something I hope to do
one day as well. She has
worked so hard for everything she has achieved in life
and enjoys every moment of
that life. I hope to one day be
as content and passionate
about my life as she is.

At their April meeting, the
board took action to not renew
the contracts of their elementary and junior/senior high
school principals. This means
Elementary Principal Robert
Downeys rolling two-year
contract has been amended to a
one-year pact, due to expire
June 30, 2017. According to
Supt. Dr. Gary Richards, unless
a principals contract is not
renewed through specific
board action on or before May

for one additional year.

meeting.

Hall takes over the
coaching
assignment
from Jose Andrades, who
stepped down at the completion of last season.
Hall
He comes to the program
after directing Rochester
Adams to a 242-143 record over 17 seasons. His career highlights there included
four district titles, two trips to the regional finals and a school record of 21 wins in
2012-13.
Adams finished the 2015-16 campaign with an 18-6 record, winning a
district title before bowing out with a
regional championship game loss to previously unbeaten Dakota.
Hall, who says he will continue to
teach at Rochester Adams, says he welcomes the opportunity to coach closer to
home.
My kids are getting into middle
school where they are starting to participate in school sports, Hall said. Had I
continued at Adams I would not had the
opportunity to be a part of that, he noted.
Hall says he does not know much
about Almonts program, but is eagerly
awaiting the chance to learn more.
I know very little about the players
we have returning, Hall said. I plan to
start over, get to know the community, get
to know the kids and put in the work, he
emphasized.
