Liz Tomhave, who was
hired on July 23 to serve as
the district’s new high
school principal.
She succeeds Tim
Woelkers, whose contract
was not renewed by the
Almont Board of Education.
Tomhave most recently
served as Assistant Principal
at Bentley High School in
Burton and was one of 40
individuals to apply for the
vacant Almont post.
Born and raised in
Armada, Tomhave, 40,
described herself as a first-
generation college gradu-
ate, whose parents taught
her the value of acquiring a
good education.
“My parents were hard-
working people, who
stressed to me how educa-
tion can open doors and
lead to opportunities,” said
Tomhave. “Becoming the
principal at Almont is one
of those opportunities.”
A 1996 graduate of Port
Huron Northern High
School, she earned a bach-
elor’s degree in English
from Saginaw Valley State
University and a master’s in
Guidance and Development
from Central Michigan

University.
She began her profes-
sional career at Port Huron
High School, where she
coached softball and taught
various classes, including
Advanced Placement
English.
In 2014, she assumed
the duties of curriculum and
instruction coordinator for
all secondary Port Huron
Schools.
It was in 2017, that
Tomhave was named
Supervisor of Student
Services at Bentley and
later named assistant prin-
cipal.
Given her experience in
teaching and administra-
tion, Tomhave has devel-
oped a great respect for
today’s teachers.
“I feel teaching is one
of the most admirable pro-
fessions one can pursue,”
said Tomhave. “Many of us
can look back and recall a
teacher who inspired or
encouraged us.
“The lessons we learn
“The skill sets we are
teaching students today
have to be applicable to the
careers of the future,” said
Tomhave. “The only way to
do that is to teach kids to
think critically and cre-
atively and to effectively
communicate and collabo-
rate within a team.
“These foundational
skills are paramount to suc-
cess across every content
area and in every career.”
It is Tomhave’s opinion
that not all students have to
go to college to be success-
ful.
“Kids need to know
they have options and
opportunities better suited
for them,” said Tomhave,
“like skilled trades, which
often pay more than jobs
available to college gradu-
ates.”
Role as principal
Tomhave believes the
role of a principal is one of
facilitation and modeling
behavior expected of some-
one in a position of leader-
ship.
“Successful leadership
is rooted in honest commu-
nication and developing
relationships,” she said.
Almont High School principal Liz Tomhave stands at the high school
entrance. The new principal says she is energized and ready for the new
school year.
“My goal is to implement new challenges and oppor- ing staff and students. I get

Reports of canine influenza on the rise Stories, games and snacks

TRI-CITY AREA —
Since July 13, 2018, there
have been 49 confirmed
cases of canine influenza
reported. The cases have
occurred in Huron, Kent,
Macomb, Oakland, Ottawa
and Wayne counties. In all
of 2017, there were nine
reported cases of canine
influenza.
Canine influenza, or
dog flu, is a highly conta-
gious respiratory infection
in dogs caused by an influ-
enza virus. Signs of canine
influenza can include fever,
lethargy, coughing, and
nasal and/or eye discharge.
Most cases of canine influ-
enza are mild, and affected
dogs usually recover within
two to three weeks.
However, more severe
cases can occur, so it is
important to talk with your
veterinarian if you think
your dog has influenza.
“Any time dogs come

Buggy restoration complete

buggy was originally sold
by Lang Bros, a family-

that was in existence from
the 1860s to the 1980s. In

donated the buggy to the

President John Grzyb.
The two-person bug-
gy’s wood and hardware
was refinished but the
interior and bonnet had to
be completely remade.
Yoder made and uphol-
stered a new seat and
crafted a new leather bon-
net that can be retracted.
“It will be housed in
the depot in the far north-
east corner under the
sleigh that’s on display
now,” Grzyb said.
Currently, volunteers are
sketching out plans for
that move.
He said donations are
still being accepted for the
restoration costs.
It’s believed that there
are only a few Hercules
buggies still in existence.
This model bears the name
of both Hercules, a buggy
manufacturer based in
Evansville, Indiana, and
Lang Bros., the Capac
business that sold buggies,
wagons, farm implements
are more from its facility
at Main and Meier streets.
Mason Grzyb tests out the newly restored 1910 Hercules buggy that will
go on display at the Capac Historical Society.
According to newspa-
per ads from 1910, Lang’s
buggy selection had a
price range of $40 to $75
each.
The business, original-
ly owned by the Warn
family, began as a wagon
shop in 1865. Charles
Lang purchased it in the
late 1880s and his brother,
John, became a partner in
1902. Charles’s son,
Elmer, assumed opera-
tions in 1922 following his
father’s death and in the
mid ’50s a three-way part-
nership was formed
between Elmer and his
sons, Carl and Jim. The
Reconstruction of Fourth Street from M-53 west to Blacks Corners Road
is slated for the late-summer/fall of 2019.
City eyes reconstruction
of Fourth Street in 2019
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
IMLAY CITY — Yet
another major street and
infrastructure project has
been given the green light
by the Imlay City
Commission.
Commissioners decid-
ed last Tuesday to take the
first step toward complete
reconstruction of Fourth
Street from M-53 (Van
Dyke) west to Blacks
Corners Rd., possibly as
soon as late summer or fall
of 2019.
The estimated $4.5
million project would
involve replacing sanitary
and storm sewers and
upgrading the water line.
The full scope of the
project would also include
new sidewalks, gutters,
driveway approaches,
street resurfacing and pos-
sible addition of a lane
dedicated to bicycles.
“This is going to be a
huge and very expensive
project to complete,” said
City Manager Tom Youatt.
“However, it’s one that
needs to be dealt with
soon.
“Fortunately, there is a
lot of grant funding avail-
able right now,” said
Youatt. “We need to get
our application for funding
in as soon as possible —
ideally sometime this fall.”
To expedite the pro-
cess, the city is seeking
assistance from Rowe
Professional Services in
completing the application
for funds through the U.S.
Dept. of Agriculture’s
(USDA) Rural
Development program.
For its part, Rowe will
provide the city with a

Wheat trial data now available
TRI-CITY AREA —
Michigan wheat farmers
working through the
Michigan Wheat Program
(MWP) partnered again
this year with Michigan
State University to include
for the 6th year, a high-
management component as
part of the Michigan State
University Wheat
Performance Trials. The
results of that research
have been compiled and
just released to the public.
Farmers will certainly
want to study results of the
110 different varieties test-
ed in plots across Michigan
before making seed pur-
chasing decisions for plant-
ing this fall, according to
MSU wheat specialist
Dennis Pennington.
Michigan wheat farm-
ers outperform the nation
when it comes to yields per
acre. For example, this
year USDA’s NASS-Great
Lakes office has forecast a
record yield of 90 bushels
per acre and a total produc-
tion figure of 44.1 million
bushels. The national aver-
age yield is 48 bushels per
acre.
“We’d like to think that

Program’s focus on high-
management research and
extension outreach, along
How to protect your horse’s legs for health and safety
Most equestrians have
one thing in common: the
constant concern of their
horse’s health and safety.
One of the most common
types of injuries for horses
are leg injuries. Many such
injuries can be prevented by
using proper leg protection
during exercise.
Polo wraps
The first type of leg pro-
tection we’ll discuss is the
polo wrap. These are typi-
cally made from fleece and
have a slight stretch to them.
Polo wraps are the only leg
protection that will simulta-
neously provide tendon sup-
port and leg protection,
making them popular with
young horses that do not yet
have full control of their
bodies.
Polo wraps must be
properly applied to the horse
or you may increase the risk
of a bowed tendon occurring
during exercise.
Ensure your wraps only
place pressure on the front
of the cannon bone and only
light pressure on the delicate
tendons behind the leg.
Splint boots
Our next form of leg
protection is the splint boot.
The splint boot, aptly named
for the intended protection
of the splint bone, is one of
the simplest forms of leg
protection. These boots have
just three Velcro strips for
with Michigan’s unique
environmental conditions,
and especially these high-
management plot compari-
sons help drive increased
productivity and quality in
the state,” said David
Milligan, chairman of the
Michigan Wheat Program
board and a wheat farmer
from Cass City.
“Every wheat farmer in
Michigan should be look-
ing at their farm manage-
ment and how the various
varieties respond to high
management to make the
decision as to what is the
best variety for them on
their farm,” Milligan said.
This y e a r ’s
Performance Trials include
61 commercial wheat vari-
eties. In addition, 49
experimental wheat lines
were evaluated—up signif-
icantly from the 26 experi-
mental seed lines tested
last year. The seed lines
were developed by 13
organizations including
MSU, Michigan Crop
Improvement Association,
and several seed compa-
nies.
“When selecting vari-
eties, it’s important to look
at multi-year data from
locations that are closest to
the soil type and conditions
you have on your farm,”
This photo shows a splint boot on the horse’s
right leg and a sports medicine boot on the
horse’s left leg.
application.
Simply place the boot
against the horse’s leg, slide
it down a bit to smooth the
hair underneath, and fasten
the Velcro through the metal
loops. You want them snug,
but not so tight that they
cause discomfort or limit
blood flow. Make sure the
Velcro tails are pointing
towards the tail of the horse.
Again, so all pressure is on
the cannon bone, not the
tendons.
Sports medicine boots
These boots provide an
all-around, heavy-duty pro-
tection for the leg. These are
made of thick neoprene and
a Velcro layer covering.
These are intended for stren-
uous, hard work such as

Firefighters ‘pass boot,’
raise scholarship funds
Fair attendees donate more than
$1,800 to Kevin Homer foundation
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
IMLAY CITY — In
keeping with local tradi-
tion, firefighters from
Imlay City and Goodland
Township “passed the
boot” during intermission
at last Saturday’s (July 28)
Demolition Derby at the
Eastern Michigan State
Fair.
Fire Chief Rick Horton
said that each year the
departments “pass the
boot” among Demo Derby
fans to raise funds for local
individuals and various
good causes.
Horton said this year’s
collection will be donated
to the Kevin Homer
Memorial Scholarship
Fund to provide scholar-
ship money to Imlay
City High School students
who pursue careers in pub-
lic safety or law enforce-
ment.
The scholarship fund
was created by Homer’s
family to memorialize the
longtime Imlay City resi-
dent and police officer, who
died of cancer in July 2016
at the age of 61.

at 8 p.m. that night.
The grandstand sched-
ule features a Bump and
Run on Tuesday, the 14th;
Demolition Derby on

Workers this week put the finishing touches on the long-awaited East
Capac Road reconstruction project. The project’s completion trans-
lates to smooth motoring along the stretch of highway from M-53, east
to the Imlay City limits. The bulk of the project’s cost was paid for with
federal road funding.
Horton acknowledged
Fair Manager Ian Kempf,
who announced and
explained the purpose of
the fundraiser; after
which the boot was passed
into the crowd of those
assembled for the demo
derby.
By the time all dona-
tions had been counted,
Horton said more than
$1,800 had been raised to
benefit Homer’s founda-
tion.
“Our firefighters like
doing this every year,” he
said. “It’s a good cause and
for us it’s a way to give
back to our local commu-
nity.
This week, Rebecca
Homer thanked firefighters
and all those who donated
to her late-husband’s foun-
dation.
“The fair has always
been a big part of our lives,”
Rebecca said. “To receive
such a phenomenal dona-
tion from the firefighters
and community is very
much appreciated.”
She added that the tim-

husband’s death, made it

Boomer during a Foundation conference held at the ‘Big House’ in Ann
Arbor.

ive Boards of Directors.
“I really consider our
staff, volunteers and gener-
ous donors to be the three
legs of the stool that con-
tinues to sustain and grow
this foundation.”
Relative to growth,
since Bauer’s arrival 20
years ago, the foundation’s
assets have grown from
$4.9 million in July of
1998 to $16 million today.
As a matter of note, the
Four County Community
Foundation had awarded
about $1.6 million in grant
funds during the 11 years
that preceded Bauer’s
arrival; and more than $7.2
million in grants awarded
during her tenure.
“I really need to thank
my original Board of
Directors for having the
faith, confidence and trust
to hire me as the executive
director,” said Bauer.
“Over the years we have
all learned and worked
together to support the
communities and people
we serve.”
Bauer pointed out that
the beneficiaries of 4CCF
grant funding include
schools, teachers, student
college scholarships, the
arts, public safety, local
food pantries and myriad
other causes.
“We currently have 123
funds thanks to the gener-
ous benefactors, whose
support and generosity
have helped grow and sus-
tain our programs,” Bauer
said, adding that any size
donation is welcome.
“Whether it’s 25 dol-
lars or a million dollars,
the money will be put to
good use,” she said. “Small
donations are very impor-
tant to us, too.”
She fully expects that
donations to the Four
County Community
Foundation will continue
long after she retires.
“I’m confident the
foundation will grow expo-
nentially well into the
future.”
Bauer feels she is leav-
ing the organization in the
hands of many good peo-
ple.

Four County President/CEO Janet Bauer, pic-
tured with 4CCF Board President John
Brzozowski, said she has enjoyed the support
she has received during her 20 year tenure.
Board President John
Brzozowski have been
wonderful to work
with,” she said. “As has
my supportive staff.”
The Foundation’s cur-
rent staff includes Sara
Kruger, accountant;
Micaela Boomer, program
officer and Sarah
Mousseau, Youth Advisory
Board.
Bauer admits that she
will miss many aspects of
her job, including the
opportunity to see and
meet some of the founda-
tion’s project recipients
firsthand.
“One of the many great
things my job offers is vis-
its to our various project
sites,” said Bauer. “We
have been providing grants
to Wolcott Mill/Farm and
Stoney Creek in the Huron
Clinton Metroparks and
Seven Ponds Nature Center
in Dryden.
“We collaborate with
and have funded grants to
all three parks and provided
school field trips for ele-
mentary students, which is
very satisfying,” she said.
With retirement beck-
oning, Bauer has been able
to contemplate some of her
future plans.
“My plans are to travel
to Europe, drive Route 66
from Chicago to Santa
Monica, and to visit some
U.S. states I’ve not yet got-
ten to,” said Bauer. “I want
to finish visiting all 50
states and have been to
about 30 so far.”

ment now imminent,

At some point, police
were provided information
that a large man was seen
in the vicinity of the nearby
Shopko store and Super 8
Hotel, located at 6591
Newark Rd. Both locations
are east and south of the
Big Boy.
The search became
more challenging when
darkness fell.
It was at about 3 a.m.
Saturday (Aug. 4), Lapeer
County Sheriff’s Deputy
Adam Moran and Det./Lt.
Jason Parks reported that a
deceased male had been
located in a nearby field.
The man, who was
soon identified as
Waschull, had apparently
died from a self-inflicted
gunshot wound.
Pike was uncertain of
the time of death, though
he surmised it may have
been sometime around or
after midnight.
“I don’t have that infor-
mation, but we had no
reports from anyone that
heard a gunshot,” Pike

John Brzozowski took the
opportunity to acknowl-
edge some of her many
contributions to the organi-
zation.
“We’ve been fortunate
to have someone that just
lives and breathes the foun-
dation,” said Brzozowski.
“Everything she does is in
the board’s benefit.
“She’s very committed
and easy to work with,” he
continued. “The donors
love her and she has literal-
ly dealt with thousands of
folks that have received
grants.
“Janet has been
involved in everything,” he
noted, “so we have some
big shoes to fill.”
Brzozowski said Bauer
notified the 4CCF board
and executive committee of
her retirement plans about
a month ago.
Since then, they have
begun developing a plan to
initiate a search for her
successor.
“We’ve formed a
search committee of cur-
rent and past board mem-
bers to begin that process,”
Brzozowski said. “We hope
to have someone in place
by November 1, that would
work alongside Janet.”
Brzozowski said Bauer
had indicated she could
stay on in a part-time advi-
sory role through next
spring and summer.
“We hope to have a
real smooth transition and
we’re very confident that
will happen,” he said.

said.
“He was obviously a
very troubled man,” he
continued. “He may have
been stressed to the limit
and just pushed over the
edge.
“The sad thing is there
are now two families who
are suddenly having to deal
with a terrible tragedy.
There is no happy ending
to this one.”
Emotional scene
In the aftermath of the
events, Pike reported that
the accident scene was
“chaotic and emotional,”
made even worse by
unique circumstances.
He noted that
Waschull’s mother, an
Imlay City resident, was
driving the vehicle ahead
of him and had turned into
the Big Boy when the acci-
dent occurred.
He added that a nine-
year-old boy sitting in the
front passenger seat of the
Jeep at the time of the
crash, was left behind when
Waschull fled the scene.
The boy was eventually

Pike reported that
Waschull worked as a
financial planner in
Bloomfield Hills, but had
been experiencing difficult
times.
“It appears he was hav-
ing financial issues and had
filed for bankruptcy,
though that would not nec-
essarily have led him to run
from the scene.
“I can only speculate
that he may have run

“But by running, he

would have been only a
1-year misdemeanor into
a 15-year felony,” said
Pike.
