Police investigate
possible suicide in
Imlay City offices
By Tom Wearing
IMLAYCITY Imlay City police

are investigating the death of a man found
inside the Imlay City Hall Tuesday morning, Sept. 6.
Police Chief Scott Pike said it is
believed the man had died from a selfinflicted gunshot wound.
Pike said City Manager Tom Youatt
arrived at the city hall around 7 a.m. and
found a note posted on the inside of the
front entry door.
Thinking someone had entered the
building illegally, Youatt contacted police
of his suspicion.
Prior to the arrival of police, Youatt
and a DPW employee entered the building
and found the deceased man sitting at the
desk of a city employee believed to be his
wife.
Pike said the investigation is in its preliminary stages, but that it is possible the
man broke into the building through
another access point.

Area 4-Her ends career on high note, touts benefits of participation

learned as a lifelong 4-Her.
ALMONT This
years fair season was bittersweet for longtime 4-Her
Brianna Price.
Bitter because the
19-year-old Almont resident
knew it would be her last
time in the show ring, and
she wanted to end with a
splash.
Sweet because she got
her wish. Brianna earned the
Champion Senior Showman
award at the Armada Fair last
month for her work with
Fireball, her steer.
While earning the top
honor was a thrill, it wasnt
the highlight of Briannas
fair experience.

me and how awesome they

This is what 4-H is all
about.
Brianna says she was
bolstered by the observation
that youngsters aspire to the
tenants of 4-H, and that those
tenants include a lot more
than raising farm animals.
The misconception that
many have, is that 4-H is just
about raising animals and
showing, Brianna says. It
is so much more than that.
4-H builds character, work
ethic, integrity, responsibility,
leadership, sportsmanship,
and lifelong relationships.

Series highlights daily challenges

of area residents living with MS
Editors note: The following is the first in a series
of profiles of area individuals
who are living with multiple
sclerosis (MS) written by
Pastor Alan Casillas of St.
Pauls Lutheran Church. The
church is hosting a MS Walk
& Timed Run on Sept. 17 to
raise funds and awareness
about MS, which is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous
system that disrupts the flow
of information within the
brain, and between the brain
and body. All are welcome to
join in the quest for a cure.
IMLAY CITY I first
met Colin Stover many years
ago when he was appointed
the Pastor of the Imlay City
United Methodist Church. A
few years later, he was
appointed the Pastor of a
United Methodist Church in
Sandusky. While he was
there, I lost touch with him.
The next time I saw him,
Iwas surprised to discover
that he, like my son, had
been diagnosed with
Multiple Sclerosis. He is
now on medical disability.
Naturally, I wanted to learn
more about this situation so I
set about to interview him.
Colin was diagnosed
with MS about seven years
ago at the age of 49. He was
diagnosed with Relapsing
Remitting MS, which means
he will have unpredictable
relapses that will worsen his
symptoms and then over
time those symptoms will
lessen. Although he has
Relapsing Remitting MS, he
is never free from MS or
from ongoing symptoms.
I asked Colin what kind
of symptoms he struggles
with every day. Like most
people with MS, temperature
changes can create difficult
challenges, especially the
heat and humidity. Hot
weather almost always
causes extreme fatigue and
exhaustion, making it difficult to do the simplest
taskslike walking. Because
he struggles with walking
and balance issues, there are
times when Colin has to use
a cane, walker or wheelchair.
Early one morning he
was in the grocery store with
his wife, Annette, who is
wheelchair bound herself
from other issues. He was
using a grocery cart for balance. At one point he left his
wife and shopping cart and

walked awkwardly down the
aisle in search of an item
they needed. Another shopper came around the corner,
saw Colin walking unsteadily on his feet and said to his
wife, Kind of early in the
morning to be drinking,
dont you think? Annette
kindly informed the unkind
woman that her husband has
MS. The judge is judged, the
condemner, condemned, the
one who humiliates, humiliated. Looks can be deceiving. It is a common problem.
People with disabilities dont
always look disabled. They
can look fine on the outside,
but on the inside, they are
battling some hidden disability. A little compassion,
instead of being rude, can go
a long way to making someones day better, rather than
worse. Jesus put it this way,
Do to others as you would
have them do to you.
Colin suffers, like many
of those with MS, from a
vast variety of symptoms
which include balance issues,
drop foot, muscle tightness
which makes his feet and
legs feel like they are cast in
cement, walking difficulties,
heat and cold sensitivities,
extreme fatigue and low
energy, numbness and tingling of extremities, the MS
hug which is pain in and
tightening of his chest cavity
making it difficult to breathe,
pain shooting down his arms
and legs, and occasionally
difficulties with cognitive
functioning. Like so many
with MS, every day can
bring new challenges. A
change of a few degrees in
temperature or humidity can
make life miserable. Staying
cool in the heat and humidity
is crucial.
It is for people like Colin
that we walk and run for a
cure for MS. We hope there
will come a day when we
can find a cure, so that others
do not have to suffer like
Colin has, so that we can
reverse some or all of the
symptoms for those who currently suffer from MS. Every
prayer, every pledge, every
step can make a difference in
our fight against this debilitating disease, can make a
difference for someone like
Colin. I hope you will join us
as you are able, for this
years walk/run for a cure.

Short list of ballot proposals on tap for November election

By Maria Brown
Tri-City Times Assistant Editor
TRI-CITY AREA
The number of local proposals on the November ballot
will be light this year.
In St. Clair County, voters
in the village of Capac and
Lynn Township will be asked
to weigh in on road measures.
In Lapeer County, renewal of
the veteran affairs millage
will appear along with new

proposals for Lapeer County
EMS, Goodland Township
and Imlay City Schools.
The Capac roads millage
seeks to renew their four year,
two mill levy from 2018 to
2021. It would raise an estimated $64,500 in the first
year its collected.
In Lynn Township, residents will have the option to
renew their one mill roads
levy from 2016 through 2019.

It would generate an estimated $44,208 in the first year.
Earlier this month, Lapeer
County commissioners voted
unanimously to place the
Veterans Affairs millage
renewal on the November
ballot.
Residents will be asked to
renew the levy for six years
from 2018 to 2023. The .10
mills support the administra-
tion
of
the
countys
Department of Veteran
Affairs. If approved, it would
generate about $270,000 in
the first year its collected.
The millage currently in
place is due to expire in 2017.
The other countywide
millage request will come
from Lapeer County EMS.
They are seeking one mill for
four years, 2016-2019. If
approved, the millage would
generate approximately $2.7

million in the first year its
collected.
Goodland Township officials look to leverage additional tax dollars for ordinance enforcement. Theyre
asking for four-tenths of a
mill for four years for the
purpose of providing funds
for enforcement of Township
ordinances
within
the
Township of Goodland.
If approved, it would
amount to $23,444 in the first
year of collection.
Imlay City Schools looks
to create a 1.25 mills sinking
fund for the construction and
repair of school buildings.
Theyll ask voters to approve
a four-year measure from
2017 to 2020.
It could generate approximately $470,000 when levied
for the first time in 2017.

School collaborates with Venture

Global & others in raising $35,000
By Tom Wearing
ALMONT A partnership
between
Almont
Community Schools and
Venture Global Engineering
(VGE) has resulted in a generous financial infusion to
support the districts STEM
( S c i e n c e / Te c h n o l o g y /
Engineering/Math)programming
On Wednesday, Aug. 24,
Venture Global representatives John and Christina
Muir-Murphy presented a
check for $35,000 to Almont
school officials in conjunction with the ongoing Project
Lead The Way (PLTW) education program.
On hand for the occasion
at the Wyndgate Golf Course
in Oakland Township were
Almont Middle School
Principal Kim VonHiltmayer
and Almont PLTWteacher
Kris Rohrbeck, along with

fellow staff members John
Bacci, Jason Weaver, Jack
Bostian and Mary Anne
Martin.
VonHiltmayer
and
Rohrbeck were considered
integral to the fundraising
effort, as were the others
aforementioned, through the
solicitation of local business
sponsorship and the sale of
raffle tickets for the charity
golf outing.
Listed among the participating business sponsors
were: Continental Automotive
Systems, OzMotor, The
Huddle,
M ikeys ,
Southeastern Heatmor, Rozas
Pizza, State Farm Insurance
of Almont, Almont Downtown
Dentistry (Drs. Meek and
Vanderest), Mandy J. Florist
and Oakwood Cabinets, LLC.
VonHiltmayer said the
majority of funds will go
toward supporting and imple-
menting PLTW/STEM courses at both Almont High

School and Almont Middle
School.
She said the high school
currently offers two courses:
Introduction to Engineering
Design and Principles of
Biomedical Science.
At present, the middle
school also offers two classes.
They include: Design &
Modeling and Automation &
Robotics.
Almont Schools is very
proud to offer PLTWprogramming,
said
VonHiltmayer. However, it
is very costly to the school
district.
We are working hard to
preserve our current offerings
and will consider expansion
of PLTW courses as funding
allows, she continued.
Our teachers and students are highly engaged in
project-based
learning,
VonHiltmayer
noted.

relevant and real-world
opportunities now.
VonHiltmayer pointed out
that Venture Global has participated in other fundraisers
benefitting Almont Schools,
including a recent event to
help pay for new uniforms for
the high schools marching
band.
The opportunity to participate with Venture Global was
an absolutely amazing experience, she said. It was a privilege to work alongside John
and Christina (Muir-Murphy).
Almont Schools is only one of
many to benefit from their generosity.

Venture Globals role
Since 2014, Venture Global
Engineering owners John and
Christina Muir-Murphy have
been sponsoring golf outings to
raise money for schools.
During that time, VGE has
helped raise more than
$350,000 for local communities, including $63,000 in support of Almont Community
Schools.
As we move into the
future, technology will continue to be more prevalent in the
work place, says Christina.

Science and technology is the
heart and soul of the Project
Lead the Way program.
This hands-on approach
of educating our young people,
encourages and makes them
excited to learn.
What Almont and other
schools are doing by implementing PLTWprograms, is
positively changing the lives
of students, she says. It will
help build a workforce for the
21st century and allow us to
better compete on the world
stage.
VVAChapter, Committee will honor POWs & MIAs

Remembrance ceremony is Sept. 16 at Attica Fire Hall
By Tom Wearing
TRI-CITY AREA While

more than 50 years have passed
since the start of the Vietnam
War, there remain families of
POWs and MIAs still grappling
with the fate of their loved ones.
On Friday, Sept. 16, the

Lapeer County VVAChapter
287 and Lapeer County 50th
Vietnam War Anniversary
Committee will co-host a
National
POW/MIA
Remembrance Ceremony at the
Attica Fire Hall.
The ceremony will begin at
6:30 p.m. and include an opening

prayer, Pledge of Allegiance,
patriotic
music,
POW/
MIA
Ceremony, the National
Anthem and a closing prayer.
Vietnam veterans in attendance will be presented commemorative pins, along with
bumper stickers and refresh-
ments.
The public is invited to
attend and acknowledge those
U.S. military personnel who
were either reported to be
Missing In Action or spent time
in POW camps.
Linda Jarvis, a Lapeer
County Commissioner and
strong advocate for veterans
causes, has personal knowledge
of the sacrifices U.S. servicemen

and women have made for our
country.
My father was a World War
IIveteran who was twice wounded, says Jarvis, so I understand
what our veterans have done to
serve and protect our freedoms.
Unfortunately, our MIAs
and POWs are not often acknowledged. They too often are forgot-
ten souls.
I can only imagine not
knowing what happened to a
loved one, Jarvis says. I think
we need to remember these individuals and their families for
their shared sacrifices, lest they
be forgotten.
The Attica Fire Hall is located at 4302 Peppermill Rd. in the
Village of Attica.

Family is

By Tom Wearing

Due to a scheduling
conflict, the monthly meeting of the Vet-to-Vet
Support Group has been
rescheduled from Sept. 8
to Thursday Sept. 15 at 6
p.m.
The Vet-to-Vet group

normally meets the second
Thursday of each month,
but a scheduling conflict
prompted the change.
The confidential support group gives veterans
an opportunity to discuss
issues relating to the veteran experience.
There is no agenda. It is
an open forum. An accredited veteran service officer

will be present to answer
questions and explain veteran benefits.
Light refreshments will
be served. There is no
admission fee but veterans
are requested to register so
that enough food will be
available.

Celebrate milestone at
Outdoor Weekend
Thirty years is a long time to be doing anythingmuch less to be doing it at the top of
your game year after year. Thats what the people who plan the Woods-N-Water News
Outdoor Weekend have been doing consistentlyand locallyfor the past 30 years. It is
now one of the longest-running shows in the
nation.
This weekend, September 9-11, the popular
Outdoor Weekend celebrates its 30th year.
The Imlay City born-and-raised publication
where it all began, Woods-N-Water News, is
widely known as Michigans Premier Outdoor
Publication, and the Outdoor Weekend is a
must for participation by both vendors and visitors. Known for its celebration of the Great
Lakes States great outdoors and outdoor sporting activities, the show offers something for
everyonewhether its hiking, fishing, hunting, boating, canoeing, camping or climbing.
Geared toward families, visitors can take in the
popular puppy tent, learn skills in a variety of
free seminars, test their dogs talents at the fanfavorite Ultimate Air Dogs, hone their
archery and shooting skills, and more.
With more than 225 exhibitors and vendors,
visitors of all ages are sure to find something
interesting and fun.
As always, admission is just $8 and
includes parking and free access to seminars,
demonstrations and most exhibits. Children 12
and under are admitted free.
If youve never visited the Woods-N-Water
News Outdoor Weekend, check it out and be
amazed. Not only is the magazine known as
Michigans premier outdoor publication, the

minuscule. First, 100% of all

felony criminal cases are
assigned to Judge Holowka
not Konschuh. Second,
Konschuhs caseload is
entirely domestic civil mattersnot criminal cases.
Third, because the legislature
eliminated Judge Connollys
seat when he retired,
Konschuh has agreed to help
out with the District Court
caseload even though it is not
his responsibility as a Circuit
Court Judge. Konschuh
agreed to take 100% of the
District Court civil cases and
20% of the District Court
criminal docket. Fourth,
because of the conflict
Konschuh has with Prosecutor
Turkelson, Judge Holowka as
Chief Judge and with the
approval of the Michigan
Supreme
Court
Administrative Office, determined that Konschuh can
ethically hear all 20% of the
District Court criminal docket

so long as the cases are not
contested. Since the majority
of the District Court criminal
docket is resolved by uncontested plea bargains, sentences and probation violations,
only a minimal number of
contested cases will then be
reassigned to District Judge
Barnard.
Consequently, there is no
additional cost to the County
or taxpayers to bring in a visiting judge or a special prosecutor and there is no reason
to believe that the caseload
assignment will change if I,
Michael Sharkey, am elected
prosecutor and a conflict
exists.
Respectfully,

Place on Earth. Who am I
to argue though I think my
own house with Sue and
Rico is the happiest for me.
But Sue decided to go to
Disneyland in California to
see for herself.
She traveled there at the
invitation of her brother,
Richard,
and his
family
who had
rented a
house not
far from
the park
for a
week. Her
Rick Liblong sister,
Ann, from
All the Liblong day..
Londonderry, New
Hampshire also joined in the
family fun.
The ten of them, in addition to Sue and Ann, included Richard, his wife,
Katrina, son, Sawyer
(almost 2), daughter, Emma
(almost 4), daughter Samira
(15), son Warren (17),
Samiras friend, Mackenzie
and Warrens friend, Riley.
Rico and Ricko (me)
kept the home fires burning
with lots of father-son bonding. Translation: I did whatever the cat told me.
Ann and Sue were welcomed to John Wayne
Airport in Santa Ana, CA by
a giant statue of the Duke
himself. The house Richard
had rented was complete
with swimming pool and
lime trees. Sue said that
Warren made the best guacamole ever with the fresh
limes. The group also spent
some time at Huntington
Beach, which was the inspiration for Jan and Deans

Disneyland in Anaheim, CA
is celebrating its 61st year.
It was opened in 1955 by
Walt Disney as a place that
kids and their parents could
enjoy together. He said,
Disneyland is dedicated to
the ideals, the dreams and
the hard facts that have created Americawith the

hope that it will be a source
of joy and inspiration to all
the world.
Its fair to say that it has
been a source of joy and
inspiration indeed. More
that 650 million people have
visited the park. Almost 19
million guests visited in
2015 alone.
Everyone who visits a
Disney park is referred to as
a guest. Employees are
cast members. I was first
a guest at Disneyland in
1965 during its tenth anniversary year. After watching
the Disneyland TV show for
years, I was thrilled to be
able to see it all in person.
The first thing I noticed
was how clean the place
was. Decorated trash containers were everywhere and
if you dropped a candy
wrapper or something, a
cast member was right
there to sweep it up.
I rode the Disneyland
Railroad, the Matterhorn
mountain roller coaster, the
Mark Twain paddle wheel
boat, the River Cruise,
watching wild animals along
the way, and the Monorail,
all of which are still entertaining guests today.
Abraham Lincoln, as an
audio-animatronic (robot)
figure, is still inspiring current guests. Disney imagineers created him for the
1964 Worlds Fair in New
York.
I visited Disneyland
again in 1971 and 1988 and
each time it was bigger and
better. But it was still only
one park. Since then the
Disneyland Resort, as its
now called, has expanded
greatly though it still has
Fantasyland, Tomorrowland,
Frontierland and
Adventureland as before.

to distinguish it from the
others.
Sue and her family spent
five days roaming from park
to park enjoying most of the
rides. She is prone to motion
sicknessshe once got seasick on an aircraft carrier
while it was stationary in
portbut she was a trooper
and kept up with the kids.
She reported that the only
unpleasant times were when
the little kids would scream
with joy and excitement.
She said it hurt her drumsticks as Emma refers to
ear drums.
She told me that her
favorite ride was in
California Adventure and
was called Soarin Over the
World, a flight simulation
ride that takes you on a glider voyage over significant

parts of the world. The seats
rise and fall like a real glider and there are scents and
winds to make you feel like
you really are soarin.
In addition to the many
rides and other attractions
they enjoyed, they also
attended The Character
Breakfast at Goofys
Kitchen and had a yummy
breakfast. Many of the
Disney characters were on
hand to greet the guests. Im
told that 2-year-old Sawyer
developed a crush on
Minnie Mouse. I can relate.
Ive had a crush on Minnie
for six decades.
Walt Disney died almost
50 years ago but his dreams
and visions carry on. He
said once that Disneyland
will never be finished. He
would be proud but not at
all surprised at the expansions and addition of other
parks around the world. Im
glad that with Emma and
Sawyer a new generation
has been introduced to the
magic. And that Sue and
many other generations still
have Disney in their lives.
As Walt quipped, it all
started with a mouse. I
hope you can enjoy the
Happiest Place on Earth
with your family.

Its not about style, its about faith
eptember means many

things. The air crisps up.
Apple pies and pumpkin
lattes and everything else
apple and pumpkin begin to
show up. School, for almost
everyone, is in full swing.
Churches are gearing up for
their fall activities by featuring promotional events
potlucks, events honoring
9-11 heroes and other first
responders, and singing
groups.
In fact, over lunch one
day some of us were talking
about those singing groups.
One friend brought out an
invitation to Zion Methodist
in Capac for a Blackwood
Tribute or something like
that which Im assuming has
something to do with the
Southern Gospel quartet
which used to be called The
Blackwood Brothers. She

added: And my friend,
when she
heard
about it,
said, And
I spose
its gonna

Sunday
night we
have a
group at
OUR
church
(Wadhams Baptist) so we
can't even go to each others!
Someone else piped up:
Yeh. I used to always enjoy
going when West Goodland
had their quartet sings.
Wonder what will happen
with that now. And I wonder
why we seldom have singing groups at our church

anymore.
Someone else responded: Maybe because we
cant all agree on what kind
of music group to invite.
I have to admit that
Southern Gospel is not my
first choice. Not that I dont
love quartet singing. I grew
up on it! Just not that particular genre`. I go sometimes
because I enjoy the fellowship. But the style I enjoy
is...well...Im not even sure
how to describe itwhatever my uncles sang. Or my
cousins. My mom is from a
family who loves music,
and there was always a
quartet or two going. And
whatever that style was,
thats what I liked. Maybe I
wouldnt even choose that
same style anymoreI

dont know.
But anyway...where I
was actually going with that
was...that its really not all
about the style. Church wars
start over that. Its about
faith, not the style. And
even there I have to clarify.
I ran across something I jotted down once which says
fairly well what I was thinking. We hear people say all
the time: You gotta believe.
Have faith.
And thats true. But not
faith in faith, or faith in values, or faith in circumstance. The bottom line is:
We need to put our faith in
The Living God!
Because ultimately,
thats what matters.

he
planning
and
the
brainstorming for the
very first Woods-NWater News
Outdoor Weekend
took only a couple of
months, if that. Today its
nearly a year-round job.
Who would have thought
one day we would be celebrating its 30th anniversary?
Not me!

The first Outdoor
Weekend had a dozen or so
exhibitors. Enough people
attended to make it worth
our exhibitors time.

Nearly 30 years have
passed now and the Outdoor
Weekend draws several
thousand visitors each year
and over a couple hundred
exhibitors. The first 15 years
we used a small portion of
the Eastern Michigan State
Fairgrounds, today we use it
all and spill over into the
streets.

Were newspaper people, not show promoters so
the learning curve has been
steep from time to time. But
we did learn our visitors
liked to chat first hand with
experts, see, touch and feel
the outdoors experience.

Its hard not to reminisce about those early days.
It is such a big part of my
life.

Early on we booked the
most popular outdoor personalities from the mid-80s,
Jerry Chippetta, Howard
Shelley and Bob Garner
from Michigan Outdoors TV
to name a few. You could
walk up to the Free Presss
outdoor writer Dave Richey
and ask him a question. Or
Daves brother George who
was the states top antique
lure expert. Tom Huggler a
popular outdoor writer,
author and photographer was
always there. Tom was also
very important in helping us
in those early years, being
our spokesman for TV and
radio, as well as being a
sounding board for ideas to
improve the Outdoor
Weekend.

Fred Trost the outspoken former Michigan
Outdoors TV host visited as
did his friend Bill Yoder. Bill
would bring live deer, arctic
fox and bobcats for visitors
to see and touch. Richard
English brought giant whitetail bucks which people
would stare at in amazement.
Today Bob Sawmiller brings
black bears, grizzly bears,
cougars and wolves.

In the early 90s we
booked others like Valerie
and Verlen Kruger a husband
and wife team who kayaked
through North America on to
the Amazon River of South
America. They regularly
talked with radio host JP
McCarthy on their progress.
On several occasions we had
Alabamas Byron Ferguson
preform his incredible
archery skills. Byron could,
and did, shoot an aspirin out
of mid-air. Always a highlight was Michigan traditional archery legends, Norm
Blaker and Ron LaClair.
Norm often camped at the
fairgrounds with the frontier
and civil war encampments.

Who can forget the
wonderful folklore and
dance of Native American
Reg Pettibone and his family. Thousands of kids of all
ages have walked away with
a sense of awe on their
faces. As the years went on
we had visits from Jimmy
Gretzinger and Jenny Olsen
from Michigan Outdoors TV
who did a few shows from
the Outdoor
Weekend.

Regular
seminar speakers
over the past 30
years have been
Richard P. Smith,
Fred and Greg
Abbas, Tony
LaPratt and Mr.
Food Plot himself, Ed
Spinazzola to name a few.

Thanks to many, we
have a 30 year history to talk
about and we thank, Ray
Clemens (Ray Cs Sports
Center) and Dale Chapman
(Chapmans Sports Center)
as two who have exhibited
in every one of our Outdoor
Weekends.

Other people who have
played key roles in the
Outdoor Weekends success
of course is the Eastern
Michigan Fair Board, Bob
and Dave Zgnelic
(LumberJack Shack) Rick
Bryan of Stihl Chainsaws,
eXmark Lawn Equipment,
and Jim Adams of Freeway
Sports Center.

We are excited about
some of the new attractions
for our visitors and of course
we are happy to have our
mainstay popular attractions

One of the newest is the
Mobile-Tactic shooting
range which will be at the
Outdoor Weekend, sponsored by Williams Gun
Sight. Show-goers will get a
chance to test the newest
handguns on the market.
And Ducks Unlimited will
offer a regional duck calling
contest, with the winner
qualifying for the nationals
in Stuttgart Arkansas.

After all, the Outdoor
Weekend just wouldnt be

competition, hundreds of
exhibitors, the frontier and
civil war encampments, and
an atmosphere of celebrating
our outdoor heritage.
There will also be a
chainsaw carving contest
each of the three days of the
Outdoor Weekend. We are
excited to see what they can
create from pine logs to be
judged and awarded huge
cash prizes once again this
year.

the Outdoor Weekend, be

weekend.

Firefighters are always going
above and beyond the call of
duty, so when Firefighter
Neil Collins noticed someone doing the same, he
thought it noteworthy enough
for public acknowledgement.
Collins, who is also a

Get creative with pickle barrel art

IMLAY CITY Its

time once again to stop and
smell the picklessort of.
The Imlay City DDA is
again sponsoring a Pickle
Barrel Decoration Contest.
Community members will

The pickle barrels are a
great representation of the
importance of agriculture to
Imlay Citys past, present
and future. We greatly

appreciate Pinnacles contribution to the initiative, says
Dana Walker, director of the
Imlay City Downtown
Development Authority.
Walker says the Pickle

involved and to continue
recent DDA art initiatives
like Art in the Rough II and
the recent Downtown Art in
Action.

Market on Thursday, Sept. 8
from 1-6 p.m. For those who

cant stop by then, special
arrangements can be made
by calling the DDA office at
810-724-2135.
The Market is located at
the corner of Third and Main
streets downtown.
A $20 deposit per barrel
is required. The fee will be
refunded once the decorated
barrel is returned to the
DDA. Prizes of $75, $50,
and $25 respectively will be
awarded to the individual(s)
or non-profit organization
who create the top three
most creative or arty barrels, and a trophy will be
awarded to the business with

the most creative barrel.
Judging will be performed
by city officials and winners

Outside the kitchen window,

is getting a bite to eat himself, buzzing from bloom to

while, leaning by the sink
with bowl in hand, I see that
tiny green body hovering
near the flowers again.
I go on to do a few
household chores but my
taste buds are calling for
something sweet. A spoonful
(or two) of Nutella should
do the trick. Sure enough, as
I reach into the drawer for a
utensil, I spy it again, pausing in front of many of the

seem brutal.
It turns out the feeding
patterns Ive witnessed are
the norm for these little
dynamos. The Audubon
Society reports that hummingbirds must eat once
every 10 to 15 minutes and
visit between 1,000 and
2,000 flowers per day.
The San Diego Zoo
offers more stats on this
topic noting that hummingbirds need to consume
between 3 and 7 calories per
day. To put it in human
terms, if we had a similar
metabolism, wed need to
devour 155,000 calories to
make it from day to day.
On their non-stop flights
from plant to plant, hum-
mingbirds are also keeping

an eye out for an array of
insects that constitute that
other portion of their diet.
According to the Cornell
Lab of Ornithology, the
birds main prey include
mosquitoes, gnats, fruit flies,
and small bees. Theyve
been known to snatch small
caterpillars and aphids from
leaves too.
The birds also appreciate
the sugar water food we
humans provide for them in
feeders too. Theres this
strange theory that leaving
those feeders out into the
fall somehow interferes with
their southern migration and
that theory is false. Like
most creatures, their
instincts/internal calendar,
prod them to head to their
winter home, not a lack of
food.
The Hummingbird
Society suggests waiting
three weeks after not seeing
any activity at the feeder
before taking it down for the
season.

Poultry disease detected at Sanilac County Fair

By Maria Brown
Tri-City Times Assistant Editor
SANILAC COUNTY
A contagious poultry disease
was detected at last months
4-H Fair in Sandusky.
According to media reports,
all the chickens being exhibited at the fair were subsequently euthanized.
The Michigan Department
of Agriculture and Rural
Development confirmed that
Infectious Laryngotracheitis
(ILT), a respiratory disease,
was detected in one of the
chickens. State officials say
they believe the situation was
handled properly and they are
not concerned about further
spread of the disease.
The fair and exhibitors
responded quickly, and in a
very responsible manner, to
keep this outbreak under con-
often in chickens but pheasants and peafowl can also be

affected. It is caused by a
herpes virus that results in the
death of 10-20 percent of
infected birds, although
mortality can run as high as
70 percent in some cases.
Clinical signs of the disease include swollen, watery
eyes, swollen sinuses and a
good biosecurity in order to persistent nasal discharge.
protect any birds they have at Humans cannot contract
the disease.
home, Holton added.
For the first time in two
years, poultry could be exhibited at Michigan fairs. In
2015, fears over the spread of
highly pathogenic avian influenza resulted in an order banning all poultry from being
exhibited at fairs and other
shows.
According
to
the
University of Maryland
Extension, ILT is found most

quarantined birds are remaining

She notes that the fair

from getting infected. The

those who come in contact
with it.

IMLAYCITY Jerry
Stryker, a man who served
both his country and his community, died at his home on
Friday, September 2.
He was 66 years old.
A 1967 graduate of
Imlay
City High School,
Stryker served with the
Marine Corps in Vietnam
from 1968-69.
Stryker was known to
many Imlay City residents as
their mailman, serving 35
years (1979-2014) with the
United States Postal Service.
He was also active as the
Adjutant of the Imlay City
American Legion (Post #135)
for more than 25 years.
Strykers other civic service included: Imlay City
Ambulance Service, Imlay
City Parks & Recreation,
Imlay
City
Planning
Commission, Marine Corps
League and he was a member
of the American Legion
Funeral Honor Guard.
He was also active in
Imlay Citys Boys Little
League Baseball and was
integral in the construction of
the still-standing concession
Don Themm
stand at the ball fields.

Strykers sister, Nancy
(Jim) Schiller recalls how her
brother used to tease her and
accuse her of being spoiled.
Jerry was always hardworking and he was very
dependable, said Schiller.
He had a sense of duty and
enjoyed helping others; something that he learned from our
parents (Henry John and
Pauline (Stryker).
He was also very loyal to
his boys, she continued. He
enjoyed coaching baseball
and he continued doing it
"I know he was

very proud to
have been a
Marine."
--Bernie Hager,
colleague
after his boys had move on.
And he liked being a
mailman, Schiller said. He
was proud of what he did for
a living and he treated it as
more than just a job.

Stryker at the

Post Office
Jerry
for
many
Stryker
years.
1949-2016
When I
started, the
first words of advice Jerry
offered were to get to know
your customers, said Hager.
He was quiet, but he would
talk a lot about Vietnam. I
know he was very proud to
have been a Marine.
Strykers brother-in-law,
Jim Schiller, recalled how the
two of them signed up for the
Marines at the same time.
There were actually four
of us from Imlay City, said
Schiller, including Jerry, me,
Leonard Mott and Barry
Crow, that signed up. We all
left for boot camp on February,
5 1968.
Stryker, Schiller and the
others would separate after
boot camp, but they all ended
up serving in Vietnam.
While in Vietnam, Jerry
tracked me down one day
Lee Hartway
near Dung Hon, where I was

a tank platoon commander.
It had rained all that day,
but when the rain stopped, I
put Jerry to workcleaning
my gun.
After returning home to
Imlay City in August 1969,
Stryker and Schiller resumed
their friendship, sharing
memories of their experiences in Vietnam and spending
time playing softball and
hunting.
It was during that time
that Schiller began dating
Strykers sister, much to
Jerrys chagrin, Schiller
added.
Strykers older brother,
Lee Stryker of Fostoria, said
the two men shared a mutual
respect and love for one
another.
As kids, we always had
BB guns and 22s and we
would shoot a lot, Lee
recalled. Jerry would always
tell me I was the better shot.
But, actually, he was just as
good as me.
Jerry was more than a
brother, said Lee. He was
also a good friend to me. He
will be deeply missed.

Honored: New inductees for Almont Hall of Fame

from page 1-A
Contributor category, was
on the sidelines as part of
the chain gang, either
manning the yard marker
chain or the down box for
every home game for more
than 50 years. Don played
sports and graduated from
AHS in 1946 and passed
away in January of this year
A celebration before the
game will be held from noon
-5 p.m. at the Almont
Community Park. Hall of
Famers, their families, class
members, alumni, and community members are welcome to stop by and reminisce. The game between
Almont and Capac will start
at 7 p.m.
For many years the
alumni and community of
Almont has been discussing
establishing an Athletic Hall
of Fame. Former athletic
director, Rebecca Byam,
now retired, started contacting individuals in the
Almont community to see
who would be interested in
serving on a committee to
pursue this interest. The first
meeting occurred on March
25th 2015. John Bacholzky,
Rebecca Byam, Paul
Bowman, Steve Edwards,
Don Eschenburg, Sue

Frederiksen, Nathan
Immekus, and Pete
Wedemeyer have been meeting since then, drafting the
bylaws of the organization
as well as creating nomination criteria, and the organization was officially
approved by the Almont
Board of Education.
Hall of Fame funding
was initially started with
donations in memory of a
former athlete, Bob
Hamilton. Bob was a standout Almont athlete (football,
basketball, baseball and
track) who was injured in a
work accident in the summer
between his junior and
senior year. The committee
is now looking at how to
fund the program in the
future and has established a
website for donations.
The committee also
launched a campaign to create awareness of the new
Almont Athletic Hall of
Fame by setting up booths at
last years Homecoming and
the fall high school homecoming.
Inaugural inductees recognized in 2015 were Bob
Hamilton, Morris Buck
Bannister, and the 1945

Basketball team and
Contributor Hank
Gutenkunst.
The 45 team consisted
of Coach Waytulonis, Earl
Crowell, Richard Keller,
Dean Bishop, George
Plumb, Kendall Frost, Bill
Roberts, Morris Bannister,
Art Jackson, Frank
Bacholzky, Bob Walton and
Manager Jerry Rolio. That
team was Conference,
District and Regional champions. It marked the only
time in Raiders history that
AHS made the state quarterfinals
Visit almontschools.org
for more information, and
for nomination and donation
forms.
The intent of the committee will be to induct several deserving athletes,
teams, and contributors in
the first three years of the
program, and to have no
more than five inductions
from the three categories in
the following years.
Committee member Paul
Bowman says the first few
years will be devoted to
catching up on historical
Hall of Famers. Plaques of
the inductees are displayed

on the wall outside of the
Almont High School gym.
For those interested in
making a nomination, individuals and teams may be
nominated from three categories. The criteria for consideration will be the following:
1. Athlete: Any person
or teams who distinguished
himself/herself in the field
of athletics while a student
at Almont High School. The
nominee must be 5 years
removed from Almont High
School.
2. Coach: Any coach
with at least 10 years coaching experience at Almont
Community Schools. The
nominee must be removed
from the coaching staff for 5
years. Criteria for consideration should be based on
accomplishments that merit
statewide recognition or significant contributions to the
athletic programs at Almont
High School.
3. Contributor: An
individual who has made
outstanding contributions to
the interscholastic athletic
programs at Almont High
School.
Incident:
from page 1-A
He added that early

reports suggest that the man
and his wife were estranged.
It sounds like there had
been an ongoing issue, said
Pike. I believe they were in
the process of divorce. For
now, this is still an active
investigation.
Well know more after
the autopsy and the county
medical examiners report,
he said.
City offices closed
Pike added that the
Imlay City Hall will be
closed for the remainder of
the week .
He said the city offices
will reopen for business on
Monday, Sept. 12.
Tuesdays (Sept. 6)
scheduled city commission
meeting was also canceled.
The closure will allow
time for debriefing of city
employees and grief counseling, said Pike.

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.

Scar tissue therapy is focused on

- Tendonosis
- Muscle Spasms
- Trapped Nerves
- Range of Motion
- Contractures, Neuromas

Dryden surprises Kingston, 48-26

By Kevin Kissane
Tri-City Times Sports Editor
DRYDEN Dryden
earned a 48-26 win at visiting Kingstons expense in a
North Central Thumb
League varsity football
matchup involving 8-Man
football teams last Thursday
night.
With the result, Dryden
raises its mark to 1-1 and
1-0. Kingston slips to 0-2
and 0-1.
I am extremely proud
of how our kids played
tonight against a classy
Kingston squad, Dryden
Coach Al Hutchinson said.
All of the extra conditioning and hard work they put
in the summer and in practice really paid off during
the second half of this

game, he noted.
I felt we played with
the heart and determination
that we strive for in Dryden.
We will enjoy this win and
get ourselves ready for
another tough opponent in
North Huron.
In Thursdays matchup,
Dryden bolted out to a 14-6
advantage after one quarter
had ended.
Quarter number two
would see Kingston generate 14 points to Drydens
six. That made it 20-20 at
the halftime break.
When play resumed,
Dryden siezed command
Aided by a 20-6 third quarter edge, they were able to
forge a 40-26 lead.
Dryden then outscored
Kingston 8-0 the rest of the

way, assuring themselves of
a 48-26 win when the clock
zeroed out for the last time.
The winning Dryden
side produced their 48-point
total aided by a Blake Porter
40-yard touchdown run (followed by an Eric Johnson
PAT tote); a Sam Peyerk to
Sean Riley 36-yard touchdown pass; a Peyerk 40-yard
touchdown run; a Hunter
Gall 73-yard touchdown
run; a Peyerk 37-yard touchdown run (followed by a
Peyerk PAT tote); a Peyerk
to Riley 25-yard touchdown
pass; and a Peyerk 67-yard
touchdown run (followed
by a Gall PAT tote).

The Almont football team awaits the result of a

fourth quarter measurement against Algonac.
ALMONT Almont
was outlasted by visiting
Algonac, 14-7, in a Blue
Water Area Conference varsity football battle last
Thursday night.
With
the
outcome,
Algonac improves to 2-0 and
1-0. Almont slips to 1-1 and
0-1.
Assistant Coach Ritchie
Feys game plan was spot on
tonight and was well executed by our defensive players,
Almont Coach James Leusby

observed. It really was what
allowed us to keep the game
close, he emphasized.
Unfortunately, the game
did not turn out the way we
were hoping. We made to
many mental errors offensively, which can not happen
when your playing a good
defense
like Algonac.
Hopefully, we will take this
loss and use it as motivation
to clean up the mental errors
and execute the small details
of the game that will allow us
to win tough games like this
in the future.
In Thursdays contest,
Almont and Algonac ended
the initial quarter with zero
points each.
The second quarter of
play would see Algonac collect seven points, while holding Almont to none.
Quarter number three
would prove scoreless.

Both teams then collected seven points each the rest
of the way, leaving Algonac
with a 14-7 win to celebrate
at nights end.
Algonac generated their
winning 14-point total aided

by a Brendan Piper to Nick
Folkerts 57-yard touchdown
pass (followed by an accurate extra point boot from
Noah Todino) and a Brandon
Spencer 11-yard touchdown
run (followed by a successful
extra point kick courtesy of
Noah Todino)
Almont produced their
seven-point output courtesy
of Logan Kosinski 12-yard
touchdown run (followed by

Almont will prove to be too strong for rival Capac
Last week I went just

1-3, by no means the level
of success that I have grown
accustomed to. That pushed
my season mark to 4-4, a
mark I will almost certainly
improve on when the games
wind down after week number three.
Here is a look at this
weeks contests and the
teams I predict will prevail:
Football...
Capac (0-2, 0-1) at
Almont (1-1, 0-2).

There is something
about a rivalry game that
always seem to bring out the
best in both combatants.
That is why I suggest heading on out to Almont this
Friday to see these two
squads square off again.
Almont is coming off a
14-7 BWAC loss to visiting
Algonac, while Capac will
look to bounce back following a 27-0 league setback to
Yale.
On paper, Almont would
appear to be the obvious
choice here given they gave
Algonac a fierce battle to
the finish.
However, lest I remind
you, this is the BWAC
where nothing may be taken
for granted.
Should Capac stick
around for the first quarter
or so, this contest could be
an interesting one. The
Chiefs
may even
catch
their foes
by
suprise,
putting
up the
games
first
points.

However,
Almont still should have

more than enough to get the

job done and escape being
an upset victim.
I will take Almont to
register a 28-12 win here.
Imlay City (1-1, 0-1) at
Algonac (2-0, 1-0)
To say that Imlay Citys
assignment this Friday
against BWAC foe Algonac
at The Swamp is a tough
one would be an understatement.
Algonac goes into the
upcoming battle fresh off a
14-7 road win against perennial league powerhouse
Almont.
Imlay City, meanwhile,
will look to erase the memories of last Thursdays 65-0
road setback to Cros-Lex.
For Imlay City to compete here, the Spartans will
have to get off to a good
start in this one. They cant
afford to spot their foes a
45-0 halftime lead like they
did last Thursday.

I fully expect Imlay
City to step it up a notch or
two this week.
However, the obstacle
ahead of them is just too

tough.
When the final scores
are added up, I see Algonac
cruising to a 40-6 win.
North Huron (0-2, 0-1) at
Dryden (1-1, 1-0).
Some say this Fridays
league clash between
Dryden and North Huron
may be the best of the three
contests involving Tri-City
Area squads this week.
Dryden heads into the
battle coming off a 48-26
win against visiting NCTL
foe Kingston, while North
Huron absorbed a 54-8
league loss to visiting
Deckerville.
One things is for sure
and that is the scoreboard
operator should have plenty
of work here.
My colleague Kevin
Kissane said he watched
Dryden play some last week
and left impressed with
what he saw.
His scouting report is
good enough for me. I will
take Dryden to outscore
North Huron, 50-20.
