GOODLANDTWP.
The congregation at the
newly-formed Goodland
Community Church is look-
ing ahead and not behind.
Church leaders will host
an introductory open house,
which includes food,
refreshments and social time
on Saturday, May 20 starting
at 5 p.m.
The community event
will be followed at 7 p.m. by
a youth concert, featuring
the James Robert Band.
On Sunday, May 21,
congregation members and
visitors are invited to attend
a dedication ceremony dur-
ing the regular 10 a.m.
Sunday worship services.
Sadness to optimism
When the hierarchy of
the United Methodist
Church decided last year to
discontinue support for the
Goodland congregation,
many felt abandoned.
But rather than lament
the situation, a core of 25-30
resolute members decided to
reorganize and form their

Included among that

VanDenBerg, Gary Ostrom
and Ron Cischke.
Putting their initial feel-
ings of rejection behind
them, the men were quickly
joined by others in their
shared effort to unite former
church members and attract
new ones.

explained to us why they
wanted to close the church,
VanDenBerg recalled,
though he and others sur-
mised it was likely a matter
of economics.
Cischke suggested that
the deaths of two former
pastors (Jim Bartlett and
Don Mosher) from heart
attacks while in service to
the United Methodist church
may have factored into the
decision.
It might not have been

Four County Community Foundation marks 30 years

TRI-CITY AREA
Celebrating the past, present
and future was at the heart of
the 30 year anniversary gala
hosted by the Four County
Community Foundation
(4CCF) at Henry Ford
Macomb Health Center a
couple of weekends ago.
The event included a
number of special guests and
presentations, among those a
visit from founding board
members Dr. Merle Haney,
Dr. Carlos Gayles, Art Spies
and James Ligon.
Those special guests help
tell the story of 4CCF, which
originally dates back to 1953,
when the Community
Hospital Foundation was
formed.
Drs. Haney and Gayles,
and Spies and Ligon were
part of a movement in the
Almont community aiming to
raise funds to build a hospital
to meet the needs of a grow-
ing community.
Officially opened in
1959, the 32 bed facility was
situated on Van Dyke (M-53)
between Almont and Romeo.
The medical facility would

General project

and parking lot planned
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
ALMONT Construction is underway at
the site of a new Dollar General store near the
corner of Main (Van Dyke) and School streets
downtown.
The 9,000 square-foot (70 foot by 130
foot) building will feature a brick exterior,
spandrel glass windows, awnings and a park-
ing lot for 39 vehicles.
While the structure will face Main Street,
entrances to the store will be along School
Street and Johnson Street.
The 1.2-acre site was once occupied by the
Hurd Lock Company and some time ago had
been considered as a location for a new
Almont post office.
The property had more recently been used
as a site for community events, including the
Almont Heritage Festival, Almont
Homecoming, Spookytime Halloween Bash
and briefly as a farmers market.

Connors said the project met all zoning
requirements and that a site plan had been
approved by the planning commission and rec-

approval.

Letters from our readers...

More opinion on marijuana, sanctuary cities and Trump
Regarding the Letters
to the Editor in the May 3,
2017 issue, Ihad to chuck-
le, and cringe, at the writ-
ers comparisons to the
choices a single mom had
to make to support her fam-
ily in Venezuela and a sec-
ond one in California. The
writer throws his compari-
son out the door with his
quip about the horrible
illegal aliens. Most immi-
grants come here any way
they can to find a safe envi-
ronment for their families.
They want to work to make
a living for them. Because
we have made it difficult
for them to get here legally,
they, out of great need and
fear, take the risky way of
getting here any way pos-
sible. We have no trouble
hiring them to do our yard
and are trying at minimum
wage to make a better life.
I am sure the writer was
referring to marijuana as
the drug, as hes been
brainwashed by the phar-
maceutical companies.
Cannabis, used for
Parkinsons disease, chron-
ic back pain, end of life
cancer patients, is not habit
forming, doesnt destroy
your liver like the narcotics
the pharmaceutical compa-
nies push. And if taken
orally and not smoked, it
doesnt harm your lungs,
either. The writer is misin-
formed. The prescription
narcotics that are legal by
the writers standards are
what is harming us, and are
addictive.
If you all behind the
tweets dont bother to fact

Sanctuary cities, I
applaud them. There are
less dangerous criminals
with our immigrant society
than in our legal citizen
society.

I wondered, then, just
how many of the space

He served as Capsule

Detroit in 1944, was a
Payload Specialist on STS-
51-L (Space Transportation
System or Shuttle) which
was launched from the

1932. Al was the Command
Module Pilot for the Apollo
15 mission to the moon.
He graduated from West

Force pilot. He also has
Astronautical Engineering
degrees from the University
of Michigan.
He was selected for the
astronaut corps in 1966. He
was on the backup crews
for Apollo 9 and 12. In
addition to Worden, Apollo

After that date, he said

Imlay City.
Flint was due to start
using treated water from
the KWA sometime this
year once the new system,
which will deliver raw
water from Lake Huron to a
treatment facility in Flint,
meets testing criteria. As
reported in the May 10 edi-
tion of the Tri-City Times,
the GLWA announced in
April that they had struck a
30 year agreement with
Flint that calls for the KWA
to provide untreated back-
up water service in case of
an emergency.
In April 2014, Flint
switched its water source
from what is now the
GLWA to Flint River. At
the time, it was viewed as a
cost-saving tactic until the
KWA was set to be com-
plete in 2016.
Water being taken from
the Flint River was not

mets and life jackets.
Their original 35-year-old
equipment has reached the
end of its useful life and is
in need of replacement. A
$6,150 grant from the

purchase a new trailer to
store and transport their
equipment and allow for
public visibility at local

dress ourselves in compas-

humility, and patience.
These are the clothes we fit

He reiterated that this
is IN the power of Jesus.
He also reminded us that

that it is only as we live
our lives in the power of
the fact that He chose us
that we can discard those
old clothes and take on the

Tucked into the passage he
used from Colossians 3:12-

Biology students have been
studying viruses, bacteria,
and infectious diseases
with a STEM, inquiry-
based unit. As part of this
lesson/project, students
learned: 1. what bacteria
and viruses are, 2. how
some bacteria and viruses
cause disease in humans
and how some do not, 3.
how infectious diseases are
transmitted to and from
people, 4. how we can pre-
vent and fight off infec-
tions, and 5. the specific
symptoms and treatments
of diseases like anthrax,
strep throat, tetanus, botu-
lism, staph infections,
Lyme Disease, HIV, the
Plague, and Salmonella
food poisoning.
In this unit, students
did a number of inquiry
labs and activities to learn
the items above. For exam-
ple, students examined
how well they washed their
hands using a product
called glo-germ. Glo-germ
is a product meant to stim-
ulate germs. When exposed
to black light, the glo-germ
glows. Students applied
glo-germ to their hands and
viewed them under a black
light. Then, they washed
their hands and rechecked
them to see how well they
removed the germs. They
discovered quite quickly
that they did not wash their
hands well enough around
their fingernails and
thumbs because there was
still product glowing after
washing. Students also
observed how shaking
hands spreads germs by
Students swabbed surfaces around the school
and observed what grew from those samples.

We really want to
thank you for all the sup-

Speaking on behalf of

while noting that the com-

continued. This company
truly cares about its

When author Catherine
Ulrich Brakefield began
research for Swept into
Destiny in 2006, she had
no idea what Americas
cultural and political envi-
ronment would look like
today. But as readers turn
page after page, theyll
recognize todays America
smack in the middle of the
turbulence of antebellum
America.
Brakefields newest
release, Swept into
Destiny (Book 1 of a
4-part series), captivates
readers with the injustice
of slavery, political unrest,
the devastation of the
Civil War, and a love
story, too.
Maggie Gatlan is
secretly educating the
slaves at Spirit Wind
Manor, but the manors
serenity is soon threat-
ened. A new republic
looms ahead with Abraham
Lincolns presidency, and
her countrymens anger
escalates as secession
nating love, as well as a
hopeless romantic and
patriot. She skillfully inter-
twines these elements into
her writing.
A longtime Michigan
resident, she enjoys horse-
back riding, swimming,
camping, and traveling the
byroads across America.

IMLAY CITY If you love gardening and love
your community, you can demonstrate both at an
upcoming planting day at the new Imlay City
Butterfly Garden. The fun begins at 9 a.m. this
Sunday, May 21st at the garden, which is located on
Third Street near Handley Street. If it rains, planting
will take place on Wed., May 23 at 9 a.m.
Park Board member Kelly Villanueva says all are
welcome to take part, adding that volunteers do not
have to be gardening experts. Bring a shovel, hand
trowel and gloves. Plant donations of perennials and
annuals are also welcome. Flat faced flowers are
preferred, as butterflies like to land on them to sip
nectar. Donations of asters, cosmos and zinnias are
welcome and may be dropped off at Kellys Pet Salon
on Cedar St. (M-53) or at the Imlay City municipal
offices.
Villanueva says the garden is being created for all
residents in Imlay City, with the goal of bringing back
Monarch butterflies, and to create a special place for
people to visit, read, garden, take photos or enjoy a
picnic.
