Monday night meeting and ques-
tioned why administrators didn’t
allegedly follow the disciplinary
guidelines outlined in the school’s
handbook, saying the 10 day suspen-
sion amounted to “a slap on the
wrist.”
According to the most recent
Parent/Student Handbook available
(2016-17) on the high school’s web-
site, “A student will be expelled for
up to 180 school days, if s/he com-
mits a physical assault against anoth-
er student while in or on school
property, on a school bus or other
school related vehicle, going to or
from school, or at any school-spon-
sored activity or event.”
“If you aren’t following the
handbook, what kind of example
does that set for the kids?” McEwan
asked.

IMLAY CITY — A night
of art, food, fun and local cul-
ture is on tap at this Saturday’s
Art in the Rough event hosted
by the Downtown
Development Authority.
People age 21 and up are
welcome to stroll through
downtown and enjoy the eve-
ning’s festivities along with
beer and wine samplings.
In its fourth year, Art in the
Rough features ‘pop up’ art

artist Joe Ferry will also create
a 6’ by 10’ piece as spectators
take in his skill set. Ferry was
recently commissioned by

the auto manufacturer pur-

in Detroit.
Visitors will also be
wowed by the techniques of

McEwan said the incident was

“What do you have to do to get

Before public comment was
received by the board, President

And not all the displays
will be static. This year, three
artists stationed around Third

DDA Director Dana
Walker says the artistic perfor-
mances promise to be amazing
and exciting.
“We’re very excited about
adding more to the street atmo-

she says.
Among those adding to the
atmosphere is local metal artist
Bill Palmer of Columbiaville,

Times: What sparked
the idea for The Mantle?
Why was this an area of
interest to you?
Underwood: The idea
for The Mantle came by
English 280 at Oakland
Community College in
Professor Hinkins’ class.
His class syllabus included
fiction, a short story. The
main character was Prince
Rahabem. The conflict was
to hunt or not to hunt. That

daughter was in crisis with

substance abuse. The story

competition which took
honorable mention. As I
developed as a writer, so
did the story.
Times: Are your char-
acters completely fictional
or are they based on people
you know or on historic
figures? What is the best
thing about character
development? What is the
most challenging aspect of
developing a character that
a reader will care about
and/or connect with in
some way, whether positive
or negative?
Underwood: Yes, the
characters are fictional, yet
some of their characteris-
tics come from extended
family and my mother. Ishi,
the last Yani Indian from
northern California, is an
historic figure who exam-
pled the code of forgive-
ness the Mahari embrace.
Ishi forgave the people who
destroyed his tribe, left the
stone age and entered the
modern world of the early
1900s. My favorite element
of character development is
the surprise they bring to
me and the story. Good and
bad. The writer develops a
relationship with the char-
acters, learns to trust them
and listen to them rather
than manipulate them to
say and do what is false
according to their purpose
in the story. This is my
greatest challenge with
character development. The
characters must be true
through and through. They
must change, even the
antagonist, for better or
worse. Developing The
Mantle’s antagonist was
difficult for I cannot stay

take you to write the book?
Underwood: Twenty-

rest during the lavender
farm.
Times: How did you
find illustrator Joyce
Harlukowicz What kind of
special talent does she
bring to the pages?
Underwood: Joyce
painted with (husband) Mel
and me for five years after
Becky died in 1996. Our
master died after I started
the farm in 2004. Then our
painting group disbanded.
Joyce recently joined the
Detroit Working Writers of
which I am a member.
Knowing her skill for detail
and capturing the spirit of a
landscape, I knew she was
the artist to illustrate The
Mantle. I’m so thankful she
said yes.
Times: What do you
hope readers will take away
when they finish The
Mantle?
Underwood: A greater
hunger for good literature.
A greater understanding of
their purpose on earth and a
hunger to fulfill it. A great-
er power of forgiveness. A
greater hope for redemp-
tion. A greater longing and
appreciation for home. A
greater hunger for the Holy
Scriptures. A greater appre-
ciation and respect for
nature.
Times: Do you have
plans to write another
book? I know you are work-
ing on a recipe/cooking
memoir so can you talk
about that a bit?
Underwood: My mem-
oir cookbook is titled The

The spectacular and scarce
advertising posters for these
events are now highly sought
by collectors, and a variety
of them will be on display in
all their blood-dripping

Culinary Arts welcomes new instructor DOWNTOWN
Megan MacNaughton steps into new role at Lapeer County Ed Tech
By Maria Brown
mbrown@pageone-inc.com
ATTICA TWP. —
Megan MacNaughton is no
stranger to the Lapeer
County Ed Tech’s Culinary
Arts Program but, as of this
summer, she can boast a
new title.
MacNaughton, who
helped facilitate the pro-
gram as a paraprofessional,
was named head instructor
following the retirement of
Sally Steinbron.
MacNaughton has worked
in the school’s kitchen with
students since 2002.
Although she didn’t
need time to get acquainted
with the facilities,
MacNaughton said she’s
adjusting to her new and
added responsibilities.
“I love my job,” she
said one day last week in
between classes.
“The students have
been great. They’re here
because they want to be
here and they want to
learn.”
MacNaughton said
she’s aspired to the position
since she completed her
associate’s degree in 2007.
Last December, she com-
pleted her studies through
Ferris State University to
earn a bachelor’s degree in
technical education.
She said she hopes her
education journey inspires
her students too.
“I tell them it doesn’t
matter how long it takes
you, just as long as you get
there somehow,” she said

I s this now the standard
by which we make judg-

made and once made the
burden now is upon the
accused to prove inno-

for those persons who are
of a presumed political or
judicial persuasion that is
contrary to the media pre-

On the Sunday news

that polling shows that
more Americans think
Judge Kavanagh did sexu-

than those who think he
did not. The polling is
truly disturbing. Whatever

of innocence?
What do we now know
that we can base a judg-

Questioning high arsenic levels in well water
Alex,
During the inspection
of the home we are trying
to buy, the water test
came back with very high
levels of Arsenic. We
have never had well
water and are unsure
what to do now.
G.P., Macomb
G.P., Arsenic is quite
common in wells around
the Thumb area of
Michigan as well as the
entire US. However, the
Thumb area is known for
its higher than normal con-
centrations. Arsenic poses
a significant health risk if
not removed to get it
below safe levels. The EPA
used to have a threshold of
50 parts per billion as their
safe level but reduced that
down to 10 ppb in 2001. I
would recommend contact-
ing several water treatment
companies to get estimates
on a removal system.
There are two basic sys-
tems—point of use and
seen. I’d look up from my
computer to observe they’d
finally laid their weight
down to ruminate awhile.
When on their hooves,
calves poked and yanked at
their mother’s udder.

me. Uh-huh, I recalled, it
could be.

steadfast companionship
with their voyeur in Anam
Cara’s second story win-
dow. I’d pause, amused,
and think of my mother’s
affection for her family’s
milk cows. With a glim-
mer in her eye she’d say,
“My brothers drank two
pitchers full every sup-
per.”
Mom never milked
siblings, my granny
assigned Mom to the
cook stove. She’d laugh
and tell the story about
walking into the barn
before a date and my
grandfather would aim and
squirt milk in her auburn
hair.
Well, dear Reader, I
digress.
“There’s nothing wrong

to the party where the
claimed assault took place.
The accuser doesn’t know
how she got home from
the place the claimed
assault took place. The
accuser told her therapist
that there were four other
individuals involved in the
assault. But, now she
claims her therapist misun-
derstood when he included
this information in his
notes and only Judge
Kavanagh and his friend,
Mark Judge, were present.
She has told the
Washington Post that there
were four individuals at
the party where the
claimed episode took
place. All three men
(Mark Judge, Brett
Kavanagh and Patrick
Smyth) have denied, under
penalty of perjury, any
knowledge of the party or
any misconduct by Judge
Kavanagh. Another indi-
vidual identified by Ford
as the fourth witness at the
party is a classmate of
Ford’s at the girl’s school,
Leland Ingham Keyser,
who has never been identi-
fied as a boy and she has
said she does not know
Kavanagh and has no
memory of ever being at
party where he was pres-
ent, with or without Dr.
Ford. For his part Judge

whole house filtration.
Point of use filtration is
usually a small reverse
osmosis system with a
small 1- or 2-gallon tank.
Often this is fitted right
under the kitchen sink. The
water is sent through a pre-
filter, a reverse osmosis fil-
ter, and a post filter before
filling up the tank. Then
this tank feeds a separate
faucet near the sink and/or
is run to the fridge water
line. These systems are
usually less than $1,000
installed. These systems
only filter the water at spe-
cific faucets and the rest of

a peaceful drive in horse

Then, of a sudden, a
stop sign affixed to a saw-
horse appeared in the road.
I stopped. A rope stretched
from the sawhorse to both
shoulders to prevent pas-
sage.
Of all things, a farmer
stood to the left of the road
as his milk cows followed
one another to the other
side. It looked like Ireland,
but black and white cows.

I found my camera, opened

Kavanagh denies ever
engaging in the claimed
behavior and until
Professor Ford was outed
by the media he had no
idea who was making the
accusation.
One other factor may
be claimed to be impor-
tant. Attorneys for
Professor Ford claim that
she took a polygraph test
in August that showed her
not to be lying. There are
several problems with that.
As an attorney I know that
polygraph tests are unreli-
able. They are inadmissi-
ble in a court proceeding
for that reason. Also, I
know I can hire the right
polygraph operator to get
the result that I want. I put
little faith in the claim “but
she passed a lie detector
test.”
Based solely upon the
foregoing it is hard to
understand how any fair
minded person could reach
a judgment. If one adds in
our long standing policy of
the presumption of inno-
cence the only conclusion
would be Judge Kavanagh
cannot be found to have
committed the acts with
which he is charged.
Testimony at a Senate
hearing may add additional
facts to the equation caus-
ing a different result.
the home would still have
higher levels. Whole house
filtration systems are much
more expensive but do fil-
ter all the water throughout
the home. From my under-
standing of it, arsenic must
be ingested into your body
to pose a health risk. There
is no risk from you using
well water with higher than
10 ppb levels to wash your
hands, bathe, do laundry,
etc. It is the water you
drink and cook with that
needs to be below the EPA
level. When building my
own home, my well water
came back with around 75
ppb of arsenic. I installed a
point of use reverse osmo-
sis system under my kitch-
en sink and ran that filtered
water to my fridge and a
small faucet next to my
sink. When I retested that
water after the filtration
process my levels dropped
to 5 ppb (half the safe
level). Now, we only use
that faucet for drinking

great way to celebrate peo-

that the last thing they need

Capac grad earns
prestigious award
Tiffany R. Ellis was
awarded the 2018 F. Scott
Baldwin Award by the
American Association for
Justice at its annual con-
vention in
Denver,
CO on
July 8,
2018.
Ellis is
an attorney
with
Seikaly,
Stewart, Tiffany
and Ellis
Bennett,
P.C. in Farmington Hills,
MI.
The F. Scott Baldwin
Award is presented annual-
ly to the “most outstanding
young trial lawyer” in the
country.
The award was estab-
lished to honor and recog-
nize F. Scott Baldwin of
Marshall, Texas, a world-
renowned trial lawyer,
whose efforts have pro-
duced outstanding damage
awards for injured victims
and their families. The
award is given to one or
two lawyers annually who
have made significant con-
tribution to the New
Lawyers Division of the
AAJ and have attained one
or more outstanding trial
verdicts. Tiffany shares the
honor this year with an
attorney from the public
interest law firm Public
Justice.
“Though I wish I never
had to know the pain peo-
ple experience in wake of
the wrongs and tragedies
they experience, helping to
tell their stories is so impor-

Sadly, it seems the
Democratic Party and the

recognized among such a
tremendous group of advo-
cates is an honor. It hum-
bles and energizes me to
continue the fight for social
justice – one case at a time.
Ellis was recognized
primarily for being on the
two-person trial team who
secured a verdict in excess
of $4.4 million earlier this
year on behalf of a family
who lost their father and
husband in a tragic truck-
ing crash.
Ellis has been active
with the American
Association for Justice
since she was in law school.
In addition, she serves on

of the Michigan Association
for Justice, was the 2017-

Going under cover on the farm
MSU Extension hosts cover crop field walk in Lapeer County
By Maria Brown
mbrown@pageone-inc.com
LAPEER COUNTY
— In many peoples’ minds,
including some farmers,
spring is reserved for plant-
ing and in the fall, it’s har-
vest time. With the growing
use of cover crops, that tra-
ditional crop year cycle can
actually envelop nearly all
12 months of the year.
According to the
Midwest Cover Crops
Council, cover crops are
plants used in agricultural
settings “with the primary
purpose of improving or
maintaining ecosystem
quality.” They create habi-
tats for wildlife and improve
soil infiltration, which leads
to less flooding and runoff.
Farmers often choose cover
crops to reduce soil ero-
sion, combat compaction,
suppress weeds, retain
nutrients and break disease
cycles.
As the popularity of

seems the options do too. In
an effort to help local grow-
ers determine just what
cover crops are well suited
to this region of Michigan,

Branch area to seed a cover

of cover crops as an inter-
seeding in row crops or to

table crops.
“Vegetables are often
harvested during the sum-
mer months and using
cover crops would lengthen
the time you have a grow-
ing plant in the ground,” he
said.
“Another aspect of
planting earlier is that in a
corn crop it’s very difficult
to plant different species of
cover crops that are warm
season crops due to the har-
vest timing with the corn.

Reported: Possible case

The district contacted
the Lapeer County Health
Department regarding the
possible case, and if the
case is confirmed, will
share that information with
parents and students as
well.
“Because meningitis
can be highly contagious,
we wanted to share some
information about menin-
gitis with you,” Tomhave
says in a letter addressed
to students and parents of
Almont High School.
Tomhave explained the
two main types of menin-
gitis—viral and the more
rare and sometimes deadly
bacterial. Both need to be
treated by medical profes-
sionals.
Symptoms include
fever, severe headaches
and stiff neck muscles.
Patients may also experi-
ence nausea, vomiting,
confusion, drowsiness,
sensitivity to bright light,
poor appetite and seizures.
Anyone presenting with
these symptoms is advised
to seek medical treatment
immediately.
Steps to prevent occur-

IMLAY CITY —
Imlay City wound up on
the losing end of a 14-0
outcome to visiting
Armada in a Blue Water
Area Conference varsity
football game last Friday
night.
With the decision,
Armada moves to 1-4 and
1-3. Imlay City drops to
0-5 and 0-4.
“Defensively we
played tough right down to
the end,” Imlay City Coach
Brian Tresnak commented.
“Our seniors are doing an
excellent job mentoring the
freshmen and sophomores
that are in the starting line-
up and we are starting to
see huge growth on that
side of the ball,” he noted.
“Offensively we are
still struggling to reach our
potential. Some of our
younger guys are still
growing into their roles.”
In Friday’s game,
Armada grabbed a 7-0
advantage after one quarter
was done.
came out determined to
prevent a letdown after a
big win last week,” Almont
Coach James Leusby said.
“Our offensive line did a
great job paving the way
against a physical football
team and the results
showed up on the score-
board,” he noted.
“The defense forced
three turnovers and
allowed us to control the
ball for much of the game.
It was a solid team win but
we know we still have a
lot of work to achieve our
goals.”
Capac’s Jordan Cherry looks to pick up a first
down during his team’s homecoming game.
Capac bolted out to a 14-0
advantage after one quarter
had ended.
Quarter two would see
The middle two quar-
ters would prove scoreless.
Armada then outscored
Imlay City 6-0 the rest of
the way, closing out a 13-0
win.
For the night, Riley
Bertram completed three of
12 pass plays for nine yards
as Imlay City’s quarter-
back. He threw two inter-
ceptions along the way.
His successful tosses
went to three different tar-
gets. Their ranks consisted
of Kyle Kulin (one catch
for five yards), Hunter
Mullins (one reception for
four yards) and Lonnie
Wolford (one catch for no
yards).
The Imlay City ground
attack produced 46 yards
on 26 carries.
Individually, Kulin (13
rushes for 37 yards) led
Imlay City. The remaining
13 Spartan carries netted a
combined nine-yard gain.
Mullins (12 solos and
four assists) and Cristian

assists) paced Imlay City’s
