IMLAYCITY Vintech
Industries lost a valued employee with
the tragic passing of Manuel Manny
Felix on September 20.
Felix died four days after being
seriously injured in an ORV (off road
vehicle) accident near his home in
Attica.
On Tuesday, Sept. 27, Vintech management suspended work early to allow
employees to participate in a prayer
ceremony and balloon
launch for Felix on the
grounds outside the
business.
On hand were members
of the Felix family,
including Manuels five
children, ages seven
months to 13 years old.
Manuel
His wife, Laura, was
Felix
1982-2016 unable to attend the ceremony.
Vintech Human Resources Manager
Courtney Schoonover said Tuesdays
event coincided with what would have
been Manuels 34th birthday, making
the tribute even more meaningful.
Following prayers and poignant
renderings of Happy Birthday in both
Spanish and English, staff and friends
of Felix released 35 balloons into the
mostly sunny skies above the plant.
Most of the attendees watched as
the balloons disappeared into a giant
cumulus cloud that had formed to the
east.
Schoonover said the 35th balloon
represented the love Vintech employees
shared for Manuel, whose joyful spirit
impacted so many of his friends and coworkers at the plant.
Felix began working at Vintech
three years ago at an entry-level position, said Schoonover, and had since
moved up to become an integral member of the tooling department.
She said it was Felixs positive attiRespects page 9-A

Imlay City grad honored as Army Hospital

Whistleblower

Teresa (Moya) Gilbert recognized by U.S. Office of

Special Counsel as 2016 Public Servant of the Year
By Maria Brown

Tri-City Times Assistant Editor

WASHINGTON, D.C.
Imlay City native Teresa
Gilbert has been lauded by the
federal government for her
work to keep members of the
military and their families safe.
Gilbert, who graduated
from Imlay City High School
in 1982 as Teresa Moya,
received the 2016 Public
Servant of the Year award from
the U.S. Office of Special
Counsel (OSC) last week. She
has been recognized for bringing to light serious violations
at the Womack Army Medical
Center in Fort Bragg, North
Carolina, where she worked as
a civilian infection control analyst.
Teresa Gilbert is a true
hero whose efforts likely saved
the lives of soldiers at the
Womack Army Hospital in
North Carolina, said Special
Counsel Carolyn Lerner.

When Mrs. Gilbert

became concerned about the
unacceptable risk of infection
at Womack, she refused to
stand idly by and watch. Her
tenacity and bravery should
serve as an example for us all.
According to the OSC,
Gilbert witnessed violations of
infection control policies and
regulations that created a significant threat to those being
treated at the hospital, including the use of unsterilized
equipment in the operating
room.
OSC gives its Public
Servant of the Year to a federal
whistleblower who has demonstrated exceptional courage in
bringing to light a serious disclosure of wrongdoing. The
award recognizes the whistleblowers bravery and dedication to public service and furthers public understanding of
the important role that whistleblowers play in holding gov-

ernment accountable, the

agency said in a press release.
Gilbert said she was honored to receive the recognition.
In addition to OSC officials
praising her actions, two
members of Congress were on
hand for last weeks ceremony.
I was attempting to perform all of my duties as I was
educated and trained. To say
that I was humbled and flabbergasted is an understatement, she said.
Hospital staff did not act
when Gilbert made those disclosures so she turned her findings over to the Joint
Commission, a nonprofit that
accredits hospitals. The OSC
reports that organization confirmed Womack had 19 systemic deficiencies, including
the lack of an infection control
plan and a staff inadequately
trained to perform their
duties.

DRYDEN A group of Polly

Ann Trail-loving equestrians will traverse local portions of the trail on

Those who do can partake in a
welcome respite, while enjoying

Tri-City Times Assistant Editor

CAPAC A local company wanted to make sure

learners at Capac Schools
were well equipped for the

KMM

Dryden firefighters host Open House on Oct. 8th

Fire Prevention event features activities for children and adults
By Tom Wearing

Tri-City Times Staff Writer

DRYDEN The Dryden

Fire Department will host its
2016 Fire Prevention Open
House on Saturday, Oct. 8 at
the downtown fire hall at
5532 Main Street.
Dryden Firefighter Jim
Napolitano reports that firefighters and auxiliary members have been busy preparing for the free event, which
runs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Were very excited about
our 2nd annual open house,
says Napolitano. Last year
was a great successwith
lots of activities for kids and
adults and were expecting

another strong turnout on

October 8.
Among the activities
available for attendees, are:
blood pressure checks, fire
extinguisher training, a Jaws
of Live demonstration at
noon; and tours of Lapeer
Countys Smoke House.
Kids in particular will
enjoy the fire truck rides, a
bounce house, Red the fire
dog, Smokey the Bear and the
annual Coloring Contest.
Coloring Contest
The Coloring Contest is
open to all Dryden students in
grades K-6.
The contest winners in
each grade will win a fire
truck ride to school.

The winning students will

be picked up at their homes
and delivered to school,
through an arrangement with
the childs parents.
Refreshments for all
Everyone who attends
will be treated to hot dogs,
cider and doughnuts, compliments of the fire department
and auxiliary.
Napolitano encourages all
Dryden residents and people
from neighboring communities to stop by the fire hall on
Oct. 8 for a day of family fun
and fire education.
Chief welcomes all
While fun can be had by
everyone in attendance, Fire
Chief Mark Hagemeister says

the fire education aspect of

the program is of the utmost
importance.
Hagemeister says the
open house is a chance to
educate children and remind
adults of lifesaving protocol
in the event of an actual fire.
Its important that every
family have an exit strategy,
says Hagemeister, adding that
all family members must be
aware of and rehearse the
escape plan.
We also remind people
that getting out of the house is
the first priority, and to never
re-enter a home that is on fire.
Smoke inhalation kills
more people than the flames
and fire itself, he says. So

get out and

never go back
in, even to
retrieve valuables or keepsakes.
Hagemeister
acknowledged
the
Chief Mark efforts of all
Hagemeister of his fellow
firefighters,
Medical First Responders and
the Dryden Fire Dept.
Auxiliary, a group he considers integral to getting out the
fire departments messages
about fire prevention and
safety.

Firefighters needed
Hagemeister says the
Dryden Fire Department is
always in need of personnel,
both firefighters and Medical
First Responders.
The departments current
roster includes 29 firefighters
and MFRs.
Anyone wishing to volunteer or acquire information
about becoming a Dryden
firefighter is asked to call the
fire hall at 810-796-3050.

Prevention Open House,

Grigg and Tpr. John Sholtz of

Bravery Award for their diligence and perseverance under
uncommon circumstances
and for going beyond what is
typically expected of most
law enforcement officers.
On January 4, 2016,
Grigg and Sholtz responded
to a residential fire in the city
of Lapeer. They observed the
home fully engulfed and that
the front door was unapproachable due to flames. A
bystander told them childrens screams could be heard
from inside the home.
Grigg and Sholtz gained
entry through the back door
of the home and searched the
first floor, which was already
engulfed in fire and full of
thick smoke. Sholtz found an
unresponsive 6-year-old boy

search for additional children
and shortly after, dispatch
informed him there were no
other children inside of the
home.
The boy was treated by
emergency medical personnel
and recovered. In awarding
the departments Bravery
Award, the MSP Board of

Audit report a good one in Almont

By Nicholas Pugliese

Tri-City Times Contributing Writer

ALMONT The
Village Council convened for
its regular meeting last
Tuesday, and chief among
the several items on their
agenda was a presentation by
independent auditor Len
King.
King was tasked with
auditing the villages financial records for the fiscal year
2016, and according to
detailed reports, the finances
of the village have improved
dramatically over the past
four years.
In 2012, the village had
$143,122 in the general fund
account, but over the past
four years, the village has
seen that number increase to
its current level of $708,769
as of June 30th of this year.
As far as the audit goes,
things went well, King said.
In 2012, we were nervous,
and we had issues.
The council and King
agreed that the marked
improvement in the villages
financial situation can be
attributed to better planning,
oversight, and transparency.
(The village of Almont)
worked their way out of some
financial problems and issues

to the point where now in

2016 things are looking good
from a financial standpoint,
King said.
After Kings presentation, the council voted unanimously to enter the audit
report into the official record.
In other council business:
The council voted to
unanimously ratify both the
Police Officers Association
of Michigan and the
Technical, Professional, and
Officeworkers Association of
Michigan tentative agreements. The agreements refer
to collective bargaining
between the village of
Almont and the respective
unions relating to wages and
benefits for current and new
hires. While the tentative
agreements were approved,
revisions will be voted on at
a later date.
The language of the
agreements will be finalized
and then well have a formalized collective bargaining
agreement, Village Manager
Sarah Moyer-Cale said.
Several members of the
public were present to discuss their concern over the
proposed Dollar General
store at Main and School
streets. Many cited fears that
large trucks will create an

unsafe environment in the

residential areas around the
location.
Council president Steven
Schneider sympathized with
the citizens, echoing their
concerns. The proposed project is on hold pending environmental studies.
The proposed parking
lot construction project in
downtown Almont has been
delayed until next year due to
little progress being made
regarding the repair and
eventual easement of property owned by Martin Clauw.
The council unanimously accepted the proposed
agreement between the village and manager Sarah
Moyer-Cale. The agreement
details the release and separation of the village manager
and as a result of the agreement, Moyer-Cales tenure as
village manager will end on
October 6th of this year.
Nowhere is it written
that life should be easy,
Schneider said, but hopefully everything will work
out for the best for the village
and for Sarah.
Because the village will
now need to hire a manager,
plans to fill the currently
vacant police chief position
have been postponed. The

Carol Nemecek who herself won the collection as part of an Oprah Winfrey

council noted that it would
be important for an acting
manager to provide input in
the hiring of a chief.
Applicants for the job
will be notified of the postponement and a timeline was
not established. Current
interim police chief Andy
Martin will remain in the
role, performing the duties of
chief in the meantime.

Letters to the Editor

Trump does not qualify as stable, emotionally sound adult

There are people that suck
the air out of a room they
enter. They need everyones
attention and adoration. They
talk over the top of others,
interrupt and promise that
their ideas are the best. They

attempt to keep our attention

with solutions only they can
provide.
Their egos depend on our
believing and loving them.
Unfortunately, as their egos
get bigger, like a balloon, their

Our Opinion

Be smart...
dont let fires start

heres a chill in the air and for many

people that means warming up the house
with a fire in the fireplace or woodburning furnace. For us, that has more
often than not led to reporting about near tragic situations that resulted from
chimney fires. We want this
year to be different.
As Fire Safety Week
gets underway, we encourage all residents to
inspect their chimneys and have them professionally cleaned. Its also a good time to check
the batteries in your homes smoke detectors,
and to talk with family members about fire
safety.
Make sure everyone knows about the designated escape route, and discuss and demonstrate the stop, drop and roll technique.
Its a good time to check the dryer vent for
lint buildup, and to inspect the furnace, change
the filter and make sure the vents and ducts are
free of obstructions.
As area fire departments open their doors
for public education, we encourage residents to
take advantage of the opportunity to interact
with firefighters, discuss safety tips and learn
about prevention.
They say knowledge is power and we
wholeheartedly agree. Fire prevention is possible with a little knowledge and forethought.
Lets make the 2016-17 season one where there
will be nothing to report regarding chimney
fires or related tragedies as winter approaches.

egos also get more fragile.

They must do everything they
can to keep their ego from
bursting.
They lie. They change
their story. They blame, and
then blame some more.
Anyone who disagrees is not
simply wrong, they are an
enemy and deserve to be belittled.
This is Donald Trump, as
you saw him at the first debate,

and he is dangerous. Listen to

how often he says people love
him and that the polls prove it.
Listen to how his pledges to us
lack detail but will be great,
believe me. This election to
him is about proving that he is
the smartest, the best.
Why is he dangerous?
First, he is a child wrapped in
an adult body with no impulse

necessary to protect his fragile

Despite not knowing

where Aleppo is located or
his inability to name one
world leader that he admires,
I am beginning to think that
Gary Johnson of the
Libertarian Party is the best
choice for president. Ive not
yet decided to cast my ballot
for him but Im getting closer.
The presidential debate,
and the days following, have
left me wondering if Donald
Trump has even a clue about
what it takes to be president.
I thought his debate performance to be abysmal as he
talked in broad generalities
leaving me with really no idea
of what he would do as president. However it is his postdebate actions that have me
baffled. Why would he spend
time, even one second,
responding to assertions about
a former beauty queens
claims much less Tweeting
numerous times about the
topic in the wee hours of the
morning?
Does anyone care that 20
years ago some beauty queen
put on 70 pounds while serving as Miss Universe and
Trump said she was fat?
How does that issue impact
the war against terrorism or
our economic malaise? Trump
seems genetically unable to
focus on the issues that are
the most important to our
country. It is a case of open

to believe that a man who is
such a successful business
man can be so dense when it
comes to responding to irrelevant criticism. He takes the
bait that the Clinton campaign throws out. It makes me
seriously question his capacity for rational and thoughtful
decision making.
Mr. Trump, stick to the
issues. Tell the public exactly
what you intend to do and
how you are going to do it.
Will he take this advice? Not
likely. Hes been told the
same thing for nearly a year
and it hasnt sunk in.
On the other hand Hillary
Clinton is no better. She
claims she has a grasp of the
problems, but she posits all
the wrong answers. Plus she
is probably the most untrustworthy candidate ever.
Certainly in my lifetime and
that includes Jesse Jackson.
Hillarys years in public life

Winston Churchill when he

stumble over the truth, but

Lately Ive found a few

I had to laugh when Rod
Robertson emailed me about
my single white female column. Id written in the voice
of my poor lone duck, Cutey,
who recently lost her mate of
nine years. Heres what Rod
had to say about that:
What a quack up! I
mean What The Duck???
Cant top that...well,
maybe I can. They say the
Universe always provides the
answers we seek, and in the
case of Cutey the duckas
in all of my experiences
this has proven to be true.
Heres the email I
received in response to the
single white female ad:
Hi, my name is Josh
and I may have a duo of

companions for your Cutey. I

recently enlisted in the U.S.
Army and sadly will not be
able to take my ducks with
me. They are a male and
female, both around 8
months old. My female,
Hippy, has just started laying
eggs so she has reached
maturity. They are very
adventurous, almost to a
fault, but are also homebodies during the night. They
return to their coop every
night. Hippy is quite vocal
whereas my male, Trippy, is
on the quiet side. If they
sound like theyd be a good
fit, please feel free to email
me back. Thank you and I
hope to hear from you.
I cannot make this stuff
up. Seriously, could it be any
more meant to be? Hippy,
Trippy, its almost to fantastic to believe! But it is true,
and I am so grateful.
Josh got the word about
Cuteys lonesome dilemma
through reader Rose Yates of
Dryden. She clipped the
want ad and sent it to Josh
and his wife, who live in
Armada.
Last week I picked ol
Hippy and Trippy up, and
Iam pleased to say that there
is much peace and love in
the groovy woodland grove I
call home.
Good vibes to Josh as he
embarks on his new endeavor, to those who take the
time to share, and to all who
stop here! I am most grateful.

Assistance programs,
used justly or abused?
Back a few generations
ago if you received welfare it
was something you did not
flaunt. Today for an awful lot
of people, qualifying for welfare is likened to achieving
one of their life goals. In the
early 60s, I was laid off from
my job and collected unemployment benefits for eight
weeks. I will never forget the
feeling I had standing in line
waiting to receive an unemployment check. I was no
longer the breadwinner for
my family and you start to
question your abilities to get
and keep a good job. I never
stood in line again. The government gave away cheese to
the unemployed and needy
back thenwe ate many
grilled cheese sandwiches.
People on assistance back
then did not live as high on
the hog as they seem to today.
I went grocery shopping with
my wife the other day, not
one of my favorite pastimes. I
enjoy spending time with her
(if God made a better woman
He kept her for himself),
however, she is an avid coupon clipper and label reader
and there is no known cure
for that affliction. After several hours of shopping, we
finally arrive at the checkout
register and I noticed the man
packing groceries is a guy,
probably my age, his late seventies, his clothes were neat
but a little tattered. He was
only filling the bags half full.
I dont think he could lift a
full bag. I thought to myself
he is not here because he
wants to be, he has to be. We
struck up a conversation
about the high price of food.
He advised me to get a
bridge card. He said people
with the card come through
the checkout isle with two

cartloads with the best cuts of

meat and top of the line foodstuffs. He said you want to
know the sad part of that is
some of my tax dollars are
paying for all that free stuff.
He then added they come
back into the store and get a
cash advance to buy more
free stuff, their liquor and
cigarettes. I thought to myself
that there could not be that
many people abusing the system.
A week later, I was at a
local specialty meat and sausage shop ordering some
party trays, the sales assistant
had to take an incoming call.
The caller needed a party
catered and placed an order
for almost $200 of food.
When asked for a deposit she
told the sales person she
could not give a deposit with
her bridge card. She would
pay for the entire order of free
stuff with her card when she
picked the order up. After
some discussion regarding
the deposit, the party giver
finally came up with a credit
card number for the deposit.
Apparently, she did not want
to use any of her money for
this party. She wanted you,
me and the old guy bagging
groceries to pay for all the
free stuff for her and her
friends party! The sales person said it is not uncommon
for catering to be paid for
with bridge cards.
I do not think the intent of
assistance programs were to
enable those getting all the
free stuff to enjoy the same
standard of living as the people who are paying for the
free stuff are living. Where is
the incentive for someone to
leave an assistance program if

fall arrived. The autumnal
equinox its called. An equinox means that there is nearly the same amount of daylight and darkness on that
day. Its halfway between the
longest and shortest days of
the year.

Rick Liblong but beginning at
about age
eight or nine that season
began to register with me.
One of the reasons was
that school started in the
fall. It actually started in
the summer technically, right
after Labor Day, but everyone said it was the fall. At
MSU it was the fall term.
Football season started. I
loved football from the first
game I saw and love it still,
except when MSU or the
Almont Raiders lose, naturally. Sitting in Spartan
Stadium on a sunny, crisp
fall day is still one of the
great pleasures one can have.
OK, I guess some of you
like to sit in that stadium in
Ann Arbor. The one they call
the Big House. I thought
the Big House was in
Jackson. The inmates used to
make license plates there.

fall was pheasant season. I
loved going with my grandfather into the fields around
Almont in search of ringnecks. The corn stalks which
we wanted to be knee high

at their full height and had
tuned brown and crisp in the
cool weather. Perfect cover

made it fun.
Shortly after, more spite
triggered me to sign up for a
1-hour indoor triathlon consisting of 10 minute swim,
30 minute bike and 20 minute run. I had never done

anything like it before. It was
that event that changed me.
My older brother, an Iron
Man by that point, had been
giving me advice on how to
go about each portion of the
race. He even called me in
the morning before to wish
me good luck and I remembered thinking that of all
people, he was the one who
was most excited about me
attempting a tri.
I realized a few things;
Im not good at swimming
fast or for long distances, Im
not bad on a bike and I still
hated running. But most of
all I felt a sense of accomplishment and I had fun
doing it. The spite was still
there, but there was less of it
and it was no longer a main
focus.
Later that year I did two
more outdoor sprint triathlons with my brother and
several more 5K runs. Except
by then it was for my own
fun.
In 2016 I made a New
Years resolution to do at
least one triathlon, 5K or
10K every month and started
right out of the gate with an
indoor tri on January 3. I
have been successful so far
and currently have 13 races
done as of October including
a few local runs like the
Polly Ann Trail 10K and

Author won second in

his
age
group
in
Atwaters Growler Gallop
10-mile run.
Blueberry Stomp 5K. Only
two more to go!
I dont do these events
now because Im a fitness
nut or because Im a fast runner (Im not). I do them
because I love the atmosphere of themed 5 and 10K
runs. Everyone is always so
happy and cheerful. While
some events are more competitive than others, its
always in a friendly manner
and the main competition is
against yourself. Beating
your own time is an exhilarating feeling. Best of all,
there is no losing team, no
need for trash talking and
everybody cheers for everybody at the finish line.
Finishing is winning in my
book. To top it off, most of

these runs are fundraisers for

various organizations too.
I do have my stipulations
though. I always aim for runs
with a guaranteed finisher
medal (which will most likely act as my Christmas tree
ornaments this year) and usually a shirt of some sort.
Furthermore, I rarely do
these events alone and am
proud to say Ive suckered
several of my friends and
family into joining me.
Usually I can get them interested in runs that end with an
alcoholic beverage such as
Atwater Brewerys Hightail
to Ale, or The Red Carpet
Run.
Just recently I decided to
try for something a bit more
difficult. I completed my first
10 mile run. It was hard but I
felt so proud of myself afterwards. I can understand why
that feeling is addicting for
some people. Im currently
debating on whether or not I
should try for a half- marathon by the end of the year.
It still baffles me to think
that something I started
doing out of spite is now
something I do consistently
for fun. I cant say Im proud
of how it began, but I cant
deny that I am happy it happened.

Is it fall again already?

John and Joey Gyergyov of Allentons J & M

Farms at their booth at Detroits Eastern Market.

Eating local is
easy round here

uiet. I love quiet.

Crickets, tree frogs and
the sound of the dew settling
in.
My daughter and I took a
trip down to Eastern Market
recently. Were hooked on
the hustle and bustle, sights
of overflowing produce.
Pumpkins are just beginning
to appearMr. Blue Eyes
says Too Early! They wont
last! An abundance of
perennials and shrubs for fall
planting, a fascinating booth
brimming with a large variety of mushrooms, root vegetables in amazing colors,
micro greens, lettuces in all
shades of greens and reds.
Vendors always with a
cheerful greeting and smiles.
Everyone smiles there. The
atmosphere draws you into
its grounded earthly vibe, an
excitement and appreciation
of local good food and beauty, sends waves of positive
energy through the air.
Stopping by at J & M
Farms booth were greeted
by our own hometown farmers, Johnny Gyergyov and
his son Joey. John, Maurina
and family started out with
raising pork and doing pig
roasts, back in 1980. They
were vendors at Almonts
Farmers Market way back
when it began in the pocket
park. Now very happy to be
a part of Detroits Eastern
Market for the past eight
years, in Shed 2.
J & M Farm booth offers
homegrown productsporkall cuts, chicken, eggs, rabbit, smoked beef bones, and
Joeys Roasted Peanuts
addicting! Local greens from
neighboring farms, services
include pig roasts and Spring
time Rent-A-Chic, just in
time for Easter. Locally you
can pick up their products in
the freezer sections of
Crooked Creek Dairy Farm,
Mobile X in Almont, Mobile
at Romeo Plank and 32

Allenton. For farm direct
pick up give Maurina a call
at 810-798-3743. Theyre
located at 16545 Bordman
Road in Allenton. You can

Johnny always has interesting posts. So check in often!
Much was learned by all
who came together to make
Almonts former small market happen, though shorttermed and scattered about
town, community support
and lack there of. Lessons in
what to grow, booth presentation, how to navigate the
weather. One by one the
vendors moved on to more
established outlets. Its a tremendous amount of work to

set up at these venues, it

must be worth your time to
keep it up. Common sense
overruled the passion for the
dream of a local, grand
farmers market. It served
many well as a start-up of
our ag businesses. The bonds
of friendship made during
those days are still strong.
We understood each others
craziness; our love for planting, raising livestock and
poultry, gathering the harvest, loading up the truck
and trailer. Setting up the
booth,
unloading
the prod-
ucts, selling our
wares to
eager customers
who come
to markets

seeking

out that
local food
and synergy.
As farmers, we like to
believe our efforts helped to
raise awareness for locally
grown foods and products.
That awareness is going
strong these days across the
nation. Very important to our
economy, healthier eating
habits and for some, all in all
it gives a lighter spirit. For
me, it is a strong sense of
accomplishment when serving a meal of farm fresh
foods.
We had a lovely dinner a
couple weeks ago, last minute invites, offerings of yumminess came to the table.
Mr. Blue Eyes homemade
wine and venison meatloaf.
Martha and Paul brought
freshly baked pecan pie and
ice cream, Caesar salad with
homemade dressing, sweet
corn, a side of bread with
dipping oil of fresh chopped
herbs. Our guests Kevin and
Cynthia shared their appreciation for the farm fresh
meal. In conversation, we
agreed we tend to take it for
granted. Its become a habit
of all of ours to make homemade and to seek out the
best in local offerings. Its a
lifestyle that is still alive and
well with a small amount of
effort and surprisingly short
amount of time invested.
On my list of things to
do this week: Tomatoes are
on my counter waiting to be
put-up for the winter; gather
fresh herbs for drying; gather hydrangea blooms to dry;
call to reserve our
Thanksgiving turkey and
Christmas ham.
Wishing you all a Happy
Harvest season.

Commissioners discuss
security at City Hall
By Tom Wearing

Office of Special Counsel staff members David Trudeau, Ann Edgette and Carolyn Lerner present the
award to Gilbert, second from right, for her efforts to bring health and safety violations at an Army
Hospital to light.

incident, finding there was
no legitimate basis for
Gilberts removal. Just over
a year ago, Gilbert and the
hospital reached a settlement
on her whistleblower retaliation claim.
Some media agencies are
reporting that at least two
patients died as a result of
those violations.
The OSC is an independent federal investigative
and prosecutorial agency
whose duty is to safeguard
the merit system by protect-

ing federal employees and

applicants from prohibited
personnel practices, especially reprisal for whistleblowing, and to serve as a
safe channel for allegations
of wrongdoing.
Gilbert began her career
in the medical field as a lab
technician with the Army
Reserves. She then became a
civilian employee for the
government, working as a
medical technician and medical technologist, specializing in microbiology, before

The Army launched an internal investigation in 2014
which resulted in the hospital being shut down for more
than a week, senior staff
were dismissed and several
managers were disciplined.
During that time,
Gilberts supervisor retaliated against her by cutting her
work hours, among other
things, before proposing that
Gilbert be fired.
Thats when the OSC
stepped in to investigate the

concluding her 26-year

career as an infection preventionist.
She obtained certification from the American
Society of Clinical
Pathologists, the American
Medical Technology Board
and the Board of Infection
Control and Epidemiology,
Inc. by the National
Commission for Certifying
Agencies.
Gilbert and her husband,
Jay Gilbert, reside in
Parkton, North Carolina,
where they plan to enjoy
their retirement years together.
I would hope that my
actions would give others
the courage to step up and
speak out when they recognize something is
wrong,Gilbert said.
During my career I
always heard that the agencies I worked for had 100
percent transparency and
that they believed in an open
door policy. If you brought
forth a patient safety issue or
systemic failures you would
not be punished. My hope is
that in the future there will
be more transparency and no
retaliation to those employees that have the courage to
step forward.

IMLAYCITY In light
of the recent break-in and
suicide of a man at the Imlay
City Hall, city officials are rethinking security.
On Sept. 20, City Manager
Tom Youatt told city commissioners he plans to consult
with Police Chief Scott Pike
regarding new security measures at the building.
We plan to meet about
upgrading our security, said
Youatt. We have to make our
work place safe for all of our
employees. Its the priority.
Calling it a sad world we
live in, Mayor Pro-Tem
Marty Rankin recalled a time
when the key to the city hall
was kept in an outdoor mailbox.
We never had to think of
security in the past, said
Rankin. This incident brings
to light what we now have to
deal with.
Commissioner
Al
Ramirez
acknowledged
Youatt and the entire city hall
staff for their resilience and
professionalism in the aftermath of the tragedy.
In another matter, Youatt
informed commissioners that
he had sent a letter to

Congresswoman Candice
Miller, seeking her support
for walk-up mail delivery to
the five northernmost residences on the east side of
North Almont Avenue.
Youatt said now that sidewalks have been installed in
front of those five homes with
the completion of the Almont
Avenue street project, he had
assumed the Imlay City Post
Office would provide walkup delivery service to those
residents.
It seems the Postal service is very reluctant to make
any change in the mode of of
delivery, said Youatt. But
were not giving up on this.
Were going to keep pushing.
Its a common-sense issue.
In other business:
Youatt said he expects
DTE to begin installing the
newly approved decorative
lighting along Almont Avenue
by mid-October, with completion hoped for by
Halloween.
DDADirector
Dana
Walker hailed the arrival of
some new businesses in town.
They include: Nicks Country
Oven (formerly Spartys) on
Capac Rd. (Old M-21); and
the Roundabout at 219 E.

Trail: Polly Ann ride is this Saturday

There is the additional
option of placing a take-out
order at one of Drydens
nearby eateries.
Yockey and Demske
describe the portion of the
trail route in Lapeer County
as uniquely picturesque
and suitable for both horses
and their riders.
Its my favorite place to
ride, said Yockey. Its flat
and quiet and there are trees

on both sides. You feel like

youre riding through a forest.
She added that the trail is
ideal for riding because
motorized vehicles (motorcycles, ORVs and ATVs) are
prohibited from using the
trail.
Its very peaceful, said
Yockey, and there are no
concerns among the riders
about motor vehicles spooking their horses.
As a matter of note, rid-

ers may also set off from the

Imlay City trailhead, where
hitches are provided for
horses, along with an asphalt
parking area for trailers.

He was very religious,
said Schoonover, who noted
that Manny brought his
Bible to work every day and
read passages on his breaks.
He always said, God is
good, she said.
His family meant everything to him, she continued.
He loved his wife and his
five children. It was all
about family to him.
And in losing Manny,
Schoonover said, weve lost
a member of our family here
at Vintech.
Josh McNish, who
helped train Felix when he
started at Vintech, recalled
his co-workers spontaneous
and upbeat nature.
Iworked side-by-side
with Manny for a year-anda-half, said McNish. He

was always the most positive

and joyful person to be
around. Even when things
got tough, he would never
allow anything to get him
down.
Employee Kevin
Weingartz, who spoke briefly during the ceremony outdoors, was among those
who worked most closely
with Felix.
Manny was always positive and very helpful, said
Weingartz. I think of him
listening to praise music
through his headphones and
he would be singing out
loud.
He was a bright light on
a dark day, he said at the
conclusion of the ceremony.
And were all going to miss
him.
GoFundMe page
Family members have
started a GoFundMe page in
memory of Manuel Felix to
raise money for his wife,

Laura, and their five children.

Friday, Oct. 21 benefit
In addition, Vintech staff
will host a benefit fundraiser
for Manuel and the Felix
family on Friday, Oct. 21 at

Manuel was a 2001 graduate of Almont High School,
located right down the road
from the bowling lanes.
The fundraiser will
include a silent auction,
50/50 raffles and bowling,
with all proceeds going to
the Felix family.

Class of 2017 member
Crystal Hart said, He had an
engaging presentation overall, and I could tell he knew
what he was doing when it
comes to public speaking as
well as just being a professional. In telling all of the
stories he did, he allowed for
a window to be seen through
into his life, which had a
very different perspective
from most people as well as
most former pro-athletes. He
shared one particular story
about when his basketball
career ended that I think
caused much of the audience
to realize they shouldn't pin
their hopes on one single
career, but to have something
to fall back on in case something happens with the first
career.
Senior Elisabeth DeBellis
added, Kurt also gave us
eight different ways to
smoothly solve any kind of
conflict we come into contact
with. He told us not to wait,
address the problem immediately. If you keep waiting
around, you will soon overthink it and stir your brain up
and cause self-conflict. Do
not gossip, go straight to the
person you need to solve
your problems with. Do as
much face to face interaction
as possible. Texting, social
media, and emails do not
captivate emotion the way it
is intended to be expressed.
Affirm relationships as much
as possible. Seek to understand, because being sympathetic during time of chaos
and crisis is always the way
to try and be. Seek to understand yourself and why you
feel the way you do. Own
your own responsibility, be
mature and own up for your
own actions. And lastly,
come to a resolution. It is
important not to leave any
problems unsolved.

Listening to lives
and wondering why
He listened to peoples
lives.
hat a wonderful way to
be remembered, I think
as I read the obituary of
someone who died last week.
And, while I hadnt known
him, I was beginning to feel
like I had. Friends had put
out a plea to everyone in
their sphere of influenceto
pray for a miracle after their
young nephew was involved
in a horrible accident on the
west side of the state.
But there had not been
the kind of miracle thousands around the world had
prayed for, and now Im
reading the obituary. ...listened to peoples lives...He
committed deeply, holding
on to friendship with fierce
loyalty and generous commitments of time...steady, a
rock to many because he
clung to a Rock that was
steadier still.
There had been no miracle. Or so it seemed.
However, as I listen
online to the tape of a speech
he gave the day after his
37th birthday (and mere days
before his accident on the
way to his teaching job)
the speech he gave as a challenge to his students, I wonder.
I wonder many things.
Why would the God of all
miracles allow the life of this
young husband and father of
three little children be
snuffed out? Why did He not
intervene? I wonder: Where

Spirits not dampened

Despite the cool, drizzle and intermittent

Fridays Homecoming Parade downtown. The parade capped off a tailgating
event co-hosted by the DDA and
Chamber.

Letters Continued:
there lifestyle is almost
equal to the people who
work and provide the free
stuff?
I asked a sales clerk at a
drug store about bridge card
sales. That morning she had
a bridge card sale for $90
worth of Halloween candy.
Is that an essential for a family receiving assistance?
You have to wonder how
our government rationalizes
some of the assistance programs it implements. A

friend of mine received an

Obama phone he had not
requested. A $200 phone
with a 500-call minutes per
month limit. He sent the
phone back, telling them he
can buy a track phone for $5
and 100 minutes for $30,
that would last him for
months. He still receives a
monthly letter from our government reminding him to
use his three-digit pass code
to activate next months
500-minute call allotment.
Are these people working
for the phone company or

us?
You have to wonder why
is it that a parent whose
child has a peanut allergy
must bear the cost of $600
for an Epi-Pen, but any
addict overdosing on heroin
will always get their life saving NARCAN at no cost to
them.
These are a few examples of possible assistance
program abuse (it seems like
abuse to me). What do you
think? Many families truly
need the assistance safety
net to purchase the essentials for their family.
Moreover, they use their

assistance dollars judicially.

The Governor fought the
judicial system to initiate
random drug testing of assistance recipients, and testing
is underway in several counties. Data as to the scope of
the problem, and testing
results will be available in
2017. However, is anyone
monitoring bridge card
transactions at the other end
of the spectrum? Is there a
hotline to report bridge card
abuse? How liberal can a
society become before it
finally implodes?

when that
young
widow is

pieces?
Why did

the career
of a young
teacher who listened to peoples lives have to end so
abruptly?
But I know. I dont
know, but I DO know. I
know God is right there in
the midst of the pain, weeping. Because we serve a God
whose Godhead is so intertwined with his humanity
that He weeps when we
weep. And just maybe...just
maybe...the career of a
young teacher who listened
to peoples lives didnt end
abruptly. His students cant
see him anymore. Neither
can his wife, his kids, his
parents, his other relatives
and loved ones. But he lived
so well, so effectively, that
there was nothing abrupt
about his leaving in that his
influence lingers.
This is a bold statement,
but Im going to put it out
there. I can only hope people
will be able to say about me
someday...that I too listened
to peoples lives.

Community being sold to deepest pockets

The conversation and
concern over EMS in our
county is framed with the
wrong context. EMS is essential for the well-being and
survival of our community,
literally. The simple formation of Lapeer County EMS is
an indication of that. One single community could not sustain adequate EMS coverage,
so a co-op of sorts was
formed. History lessons are of
significance, but not the proper context either. Essential
community services are what
need to be looked at here.
Take any component of
our community considered
essential. Roads, schools,
police, firewhat do they
have in common? Elected
officials! If one wants to
change saybusing our children to a private company,
we, the community voice our
collective opinion through the
ballot box. Vote out the school
board! Policing changevote
out the city commission,
county board, maybe even a

new sheriff!
EMS in our community is
an essential service. It should
be determined by municipal
agreement who provides this
essential service, and what
level of care is appropriate.
Our current competitive situation is one that has been
forced upon the community
by a non-elected pseudopolitical board. The Lapeer
County Medical Control
Authority (LCMCA) board
has legal authority to determine who can, repeat can,
provide EMS in our County.
The LCMCA is under the
direction of McLaren hospital. No elected representation
from the general public.
Members are elected by the
board, after nomination from
the director. They are the
authority that decided Medstar
should be here, and ultimately
what runs should go to them
based on where they opened a
garage. Am I the only one that
finds it disgusting that
Medstar has found a garage

just east of LCEMS (Lapper

County EMS) on Saginaw?
Or Just south of LCEMS on
Baldwin! Now the Medical
Control determines that
Medstar is closer to runs
and is the primary response
company (maps are used by
Central Dispatch). It seems
too much of a coincidence
that Medstar is financially
supported by McLaren hospital.
There are laws that are
used as reason for competition and proximity, e.g. closest car in EMS in our state.
These laws are being twisted
to represent the situation. If a
need for more EMS in our
community was determined,
wouldnt it have been more
appropriate to place garages
about the county based on
proximity to need. It appears
the City of Lapeer and Lapeer
Township had adequate coverage, why add two more
garages unless you just want
to put the existing company
out of business. The closest

car legality is not only garage

based, but can be determined
by GPS locators in vehicles.
This has not been attempted
in our county. A base does not
determine closest car if that
car is already on a run, or
transfer!
Bottom line: We, the
Lapeer community, are being
sold to the deepest pockets
not the best EMS service
available. LCEMS was set up
to provide service to our communities; competent, professional service, which they
have never stopped providing. If a need for competition
was determined, we, the
Lapeer community, need a
voice in who provides EMS
for us. This is an essential
community service, and
should be determined by our
elected officialsso that if
we like it; it stays. If we
dont; it changes.

Learning:
from page 7-A

runoff and say, Weve come

back home!
Alas, Uncle Tab and
Aunt Alma Leigh gave up
waiting and went to remodeling the homeplace to suit my
aunts haute couture. They
removed the wrap-around
porch and banister where my
earliest memory of the
mountains remains embedded. When attached to emotions of comfort and safety,
some images are indestructible.
My uncles claim I beat
them in foot races around the
homeplace one summer. I
did love to run. A snowball
bush marked the start and
finish line. Lordy! My cousins and I loved pulling apart
the plump, white flowers and
throwing them up so they
fell as snow.
Since then, Ive returned
to Kentucky almost every
summer to glean my uncles
stories, sustain vivid relationships, landscapes and
colors within my minds eye.
Sadly, the Sears house
Grandpa Floyd McCoy built
in 1925 has stood vacant for
two years now. I worry about
it, abandoned in the midst of
a remodel gone awry. I
would rescue the house if the
means were mine.

Ive come to understand

my Italian and Polish neighbors were also immigrants
who yearned for their homelandmany lost their birthplace to warmongers. I
admire those who escaped
tyranny and invasion in
Europe and pledged their
allegiance to the United
States of America. Theyve
found their place in this one
nation under God.
I mourn their loss with
them, follow their example
and at last let the home of
my nativity go. I will never
sleep within its walls again
nor set at table and commune
with kinfolk. It must be
enough for my homeplace to
remain a living structure
within memorygreat
strength within my mind,
heart, and spirit.
Dear Reader, this morning I awoke within my house
built with love and prayer in
1989. Rooted with books
scattered around me on my
bed, I remembered our rented house on Yacama Street,
destroyed by vandalism. I
knew this house is where I
belong, considered how to
best use the home I have.
A gray-headed woman,
at last I learn how and when
to lose without a struggle.

Rural Lifestyles

Preparing for a 4-H beef project

TRI-CITY AREA As
the fall weather approaches,
many youth across Michigan
begin looking for their 4-H
beef project animal. Caring
for a beef animal requires
forward thinking and creating a plan of how to see your
project through to the end. In
addition to the requirement
of selecting the animal, there
is also a financial burden of
caring for an animal through
the duration of your project.
As you make plans to
raise and care for a beef project, think through all of the
needs of your project. These
details will help make the
process of caring for a beef
animal easier. Here are a few
examples of needs for your
project.
Financial
burden:
Raising and caring for cattle
require a large input of funds
to purchase and provide feed
for the animal.
Purchasing a 4-H beef
project animal requires a set
budget. Its helpful if you
have flexibility in your budget when attending sales or
auctions where calves vary in
quality and are available at
different base prices. In an
event such as a live action,
youth can sometimes get carried away and spend outside
of their budget. This is a bur-

den in the short come, but

may also mean taking a
financial loss at the completion of the project.
The price of a beef animal will vary depending on
the quality of the animal and
the reputation of the farm. It
is common to see calves
range from $800 to even a
few thousand dollars per calf.
However, do not pay a high
price for a calf with the idea
that this alone will assure you
of a winning champion. It
takes a good feeding program
and a lot of hard work, along
with the right kind of calf,
and good showmanship skills
to win grand champion.
If you are budgeting or
need to borrow money to buy
feed for a project animal, you
need to know how much feed
your calf will eat. If your
500-pound feeder calf will be
sold at 1,250 pounds, it will
need to gain 750 pounds. You
can estimate that it will take
seven pounds of feed per
pound of gain for cattle.
Therefore, your calf will
probably need to eat about
5,250 pounds of feed (or
seven pounds multiplied by
750 pounds of gain).
Fences: Cattle are curious and will tend to notice
weak areas of fencing. Fences
should be secure and well

laid out to allow for human

access to the pen, as well as
quick exit of the pen if needed. The fence should be tall
enough to discourage a calf
from jumping if spooked, as
well as keep a grown project
animal in the pen.
Feed storage: Quality
roughage is a necessity of
raising beef cattle since they
are ruminant animals, meaning they have four compartments to their stomach.
Roughages, such as hay,
should be stored under cover
to help maintain the quality
and increase palatability for
the animal. In addition to
roughages, cattle being fed to
exhibit at a fair will require
some sort of feedstuff. The
feed should be stored indoors
where it is dry and not
impacted by rodent issues.
Bedding: Keeping your
project well bedded will
make their hair coat cleaner
and make preparing them to
show easier down the road.
Additionally, bedding provides cattle a dry location for
laying down and can help
keep animals healthy. Make
sure to secure bedding before
your animal arrives and have
a plan to maintain a clean
area for the animal.
Water supply: Water is
the single most important

Soybeans are expected to
yield 47 bushels per acre, a
decrease of two bushels from
last year but a two bushel
increase from the August
forecast.
Sugar beet producers,
many who have already started harvest, will see average
yields around 31 bushels per
acre, a figure thats unchanged
from last month, but down
less than one ton from 2014.
Nationally, both the corn
and soybean yields are

expected to surpass the 2015

harvest numbers with the corn
crop on track to set a new
national record.
Corn crop survey
The Michigan Corn
Growers Association recently
completed their 2016 Between
the Rows Tour, surveying the
corn crop across the Great
Lakes state. According to
their results Lapeer and St.
Clair counties had some of
the best looking fields with
estimated yields for the two,
plus Sanilac County, pegged
at 168.6 bushels per acre.

nutrient for animals. Clean,
fresh water is needed on a
daily basis for a successful
beef project. Have a plan
going into the winter months
of how to provide water
when temperatures are below
freezing.
Herding animal concerns: Many beef animals do
not like to be alone. Finding
an animal companion, whether a beef animal or another
species, is important for
keeping animals calm. If at
all possible, try to have a
plan to raise your animal in a
small group, having at least

Projected yields improving across state

Tri-City Times Assistant Editor

ACROSS MICHIGAN
More favorable growing
conditions have helped push
up yield estimates for the
2016 crop. The USDAs
National
Agricultural
Statistics Service reports in
their September crop forecast
that both corn and soybean
yields will be higher than estimated in August but wont be
as robust as the 2015 crop.
The average corn yield in
Michigan is expected to be
157 bushels per acre, down

one animal a visible distance

away from your project animal.
Animal
selection:
Finding the right beef animal
for your fair or exhibition can
sometimes be difficult. Cattle
need to weigh within certain
weight requirements to be
exhibited at some events,
which adds an additional
obstacle when planning for
the future.
The dates of the fair are
one of the most important
factors in animal selection.
For example, a person exhibiting at a June fair is looking
for a heavier weight calf than
a person planning to exhibit
at an August fair. When
selecting a calf, keep in mind
three main things: the birthdate of the calf, weight at
which you purchase it and
your fair or exhibition date.
If you keep these three factors in mind, you will be better able to select an animal
that will make the weight

requirements of the exhibition.

Also remember that cattle gain two to three pounds
of weight per day if fed properly in ideal conditions.
Genetics have come a long
way in allowing cattle to gain
more rapidly, but one rule of
thumb to consider is that
most cattle are ready for market between 14 and 18
months of age.
Although there are many
challenges to raising and caring for beef cattle, it is also
very rewarding.

larger dollar amounts, resulting in fewer projects funded
than in the past, but greater
overall wildlife and public
benefit.
The Wildlife Habitat
Grant Program began in
October 2013 and is funded
with a portion of the revenue
from hunting and fishing
licenses sold each year. The
grant program is administered
by the DNR through a cooperative effort between its

The grant programs main
objective is to enhance and
improve the quality and quantity of game species habitat in
support of a specific goal from
the DNR Wildlife Divisions

Do you suffer from

Scar Tissue Adhesions?

Scar tissue forms in the body as a temporary patching mechanism for wounds caused by surgery,
trauma or repetitive stress. Scar tissue connecting tissue not normally connected are called adhesions. Adhesions can spread, entrapping nerves causing pain or numbness and limiting range of motion. Undiagnosed pain and restricted mobility are likely to be caused by these scar tissue adhesions.

What can you do about it?

Scar Tissue Therapy

Rapid Release Technology targets painful
adhesions using resonance. RRT has
determined the optimum frequency for
maximum effectiveness. Our frequency
also triggers the Tonic Vibration Reflex
or TVR. This frequency is well known to
instantly relax muscle guarding, cramps
and spasms. RRT is unique in the above
properties as it operates many times
faster than other therapeutic devices,
and it feels great too.

Capac Chiropractic
Dr. Todd Grubb

Scar tissue therapy is focused on

relief of soft tissue problems caused
by adhesions such as:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Tendonosis
- Muscle Spasms
- Trapped Nerves
- Range of Motion
- Contractures, Neuromas
- Back, Shoulder and Ankle Pain
- Headaches, TMJ
- Knee Problems
- Tennis Elbow

Fantasy Forest offers family fun Sat., Oct. 8

Forty and Eight veterans spearheads 2016 event
By Tom Wearing

Tri-City Times Staff Writer

LAPEER

Save
Saturday, Oct. 8 on your calendar and enjoy a fun-filled
family day at the 21st Annual
Fantasy Forest from 11
a.m.-4 p.m. at Rowden Park.
The Park is located on
M-24 across, from the
McLaren Lapeer Region hospital.
Attendees of all ages are
invited to walk the trail and
enjoy the various Halloweenrelated activities and treats.
The 2016 Fantasy Forest
is again sponsored by Voiture

1536 Forty and Eight, a veterans service organization.

Forty and Eight member
Wayne Jacobs says the event
focuses on the fantasy side
of Halloween, rather than the
scary side.
Funds raised from the
event are donated back to the
community, including to the
Stone Soup Food Pantry and
Veterans Esteem Team.
Jacobs says participating
youngsters can walk the barrier-free, black-topped trail,
which will be lined with stations providing activities,
games and goodies.

Turtles, Harry Potter, Mickey
Mouse, Star Wars, Alice in
Wonderland, Patch the Pirate,

treats and an American stick

flag, compliments of the Forty

and Eight.

a martial arts demonstration,
ride a pony, bowl, meet
Sparky the fire dog, or

the Lapeer Lions Club.
Lions host eye screening

KidSight is a vision screening program designed to
detect potential vision disorders in children that can cause
permanent vision loss when
treatment is delayed.

Participating childrens

and accurately (98% accuracy) identifies potential vision

problems such as myopia
(nearsightedness), hyperopia
(farsightedness), anisometropia (unequal refraction
power), astigmatism (optical
defect), anisocoria (unequal
pupil size) and strabismus
(gaze deviations) through
non-invasive screening.
The test determines
whether a childs vision is a
Pass or a Refer,which
means the child should be
examined by an ophthalmologist or optometrist.
Admission only $3.50
Admission to Fantasy
Forest is $3.50 per child on
the day of the event. Or, tick-

ets may be purchased in

advance at Lapeer County

Unbeaten Deckerville downs Dryden

DRYDEN Dryden
was defeated by visiting
Deckerville, 42-0, in a North
Central Thumb
8-Man
Football League matchup last
Friday night.
With the final, Deckerville
moves to 6-0 and 3-0. Dryden
slips to 3-3 and 2-2.
We did not handle the
rainy weather well, Dryden
Coach Al Hutchinson said.
We turned the ball over five
times from fumbles and struggled all night with our timing

from the start of the snap

while Deckerville capitalized
on short fields from our fumbles, he noted.
Our defense played pretty well but you cant hold any
team out of the end zone
when they start on our side of
the field the majority of the
game. Deckerville is a very
solid football team.
In Fridays matchup,
Deckerville jumped out to a
26-0 advantage after one
quarter had ended.
The middle two quarters
saw Deckerville generate 16
total points, while Dryden

managed none. That left the

former up by a 42-0 count
with 36 minutes elapsed.
That was followed by a
scoreless fourth quarter.
For the evening, Sam
Peyerk completed one of six
pass plays for six yards as
Drydens quarterback. He
threw zero interceptions en
route to those numbers.
His successful toss went
to Hunter Gall.
The Dryden ground attack
added 117 yards on 33 totes.
Gall (11 rushes for 86
yards) proved Drydens most
productive ballcarrier. The

remaining 22 Cardinal totes

netted a combined 31-yard
gain.
Gall (two solos and eight
assists) and Chase Fremstad
(eight assists) paced Dryden
as far as tackles were concerned. Blake Porter (two
solos and five assists),
Andrew Armstrong (one solo
and six assists) and Sean
Riley (two solos and four
assists) made their presence
felt as well.
Dryden returns to action
this Friday when it travels to
North Huron. That matchup
lists a 7 p.m. starting time.

Almont aims to keep playoff hopes alive

Following a 2-1 week,
here is a look at this
Fridays gridiron confrontations and the teams I believe
should emerge victorious:

FEARLESS

Football...
Yale (3-3, 2-3) at
Almont (3-3, 2-3)
If you can make it to
just one game, this is the
contest I recommend watching.
Almont enters the
upcoming clash looking to
bounce back from a 34-21
home field loss to Blue
Water Area Conference
counterpart Richmond,
while Yale aims to post a
victory after dropping a 27-0
verdict to league powerhouse Algonac at home.
This is a battle both
sides must win if they are to
entertain any plans of reaching the postseason.
I expect this contest to
be a close one from start to
finish.
When the clock zeroes
out, I look for the Raiders of
Almont High School to pull
out a 22-18 victory.
Cros-Lex (4-2, 3-2) at
Capac (1-5, 1-4)
Down the road just a
few miles away, Capac will
be faced with a formidable
task in their pursuit of a

favorable homecoming outcome when Blue Water Area

Conference heavyweight
Cros-Lex
pays a
visit.
CrosLex
enters the
fray fresh
off a
38-0
league
win at
home

against
Armada,
while Capac will look to
prevail again after picking
up a 19-10 road victory over
BWAC rival Imlay City.
I expect Capac to bring
their best to the gridiron,
and possibly put up the
nights first points.
After that, I expect the
momentum to shift over to
Cros-Lexs side where it
should remain the rest of the
evening.
I still will root for Capac
to pull off the upset here.
However, my pick is CrosLex to secure a 30-7 victory.
Imlay City (1-5, 0-5) at
Richmond (5-1, 5-0)
Like Capac, Imlay City
enters this weeks Blue
Water Area Conference battle cast in the role of an

underdog.
Richmond heads in to
the game fresh off a 34-21
road win against BWAC
rival Almont, while Imlay
City will look to emerge
victorious after absorbing a
19-10 loss to league foe
Capac.
For Imlay City to make
it a battle, they will need to
trim their turnovers and penalties from last week.
If they can accomplish
this, things could stay interesting for awhile. If they
dont, things could get out
of hand quickly.
Either way, I see
Richmond being too tough
an obstacle for Imlay City to
overcome.
Dryden (3-3, 2-2) at
North Huron (0-6, 0-4)
Hey didnt these teams
already play each other this
season you ask?
Why yes they did actually. As Tri-City Area gridiron
fans may recall, Dryden
handed North Huron a 54-28
setback during week three of
the season.
I know a great deal can
change over that stretch, but
that doesnt mean that my
pick is going to change any.
Give me Dryden one
more time, this time prevailing 48-20.

Complete information concerning this case may be examined or obtained at

ORDER TO ANSWER

At a session of Court held in the
Courthouse for the 40th Judicial Circuit

PRESENT: THE HONORABLE
NICK O. HOLOWKA, CIRCUIT
JUDGE
IT IS ORDERED that the
Defendants, Susannah Heugill, her
unknown heirs, assigns and successors
in interest, shall answer the Plaintiffs
Complaint to Quiet Title, or take such
other action as may be permitted by law.
The real estate subject to the complaint
is:

The East 11 feet of Lot 9 in Block
8, Shell and Ballards Addition to the
Northeast Division of Beechville (now
known as the Village of North Branch
according to the plat thereof recorded in
Liber 9 of Deeds, page 493, Lapeer
County Records.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the
answer, or such other action as permitted
by law, shall be filed with the Circuit
Court for the County of Lapeer at 255
Clay Street, Lapeer, MI 48446, no later
than 28 days from the date of the last
publication of this Order to Answer.

The complaint that has been filed
with this Court seeks to quiet the title of
the described real property in the
Plaintiff as a result of the Plaintiff, and
her predecessors in title, having acquired
title through adverse possession of said
real property.

Failure to answer the complaint,
or take such other action as is permitted
by law, will result in a judgment being
entered in favor of the Plaintiff by
default.
