us in all your future endeav-

Almont grads, (back) Aubrey Battani, Mariah Smith and Elizabeth Kerby;
Kalmar challenged the
graduates to expect big
things of themselves, to
work hard to accomplish
their goals and to continue
reaching for their dreams.
Borrowing a passage
from author Marianne
Williamsons book, A
Return to Love, Kalmar
urged the 2017 class mem-
bers to tackle their fears.
Our deepest fear is not
that we are inadequate, he
quoted. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful
beyond measure. It is our
light not our darkness that
most frightens us.
Who are any of you to
not expect yourselves to be
brilliant, talented or fabu-
lous. You are children of
God, and playing small
does not serve the world.
Remember that pas-
sage, Kalmar reiterated.
Never, ever play small.

senters included Student

Medeleine Gray, and twin
sisters, Haley Torres and
Sydney Torres, who deliv-

school graduation 42 years
ago...Can that be right?
Forty. Two. Years. Is that
even possible?
The graduates right in
front of me are sharing
memories of their time
together, which for most
of them dates back to kin-
dergarten.
They talk about how
well they know each
other, and that they know
each others parents and
grandparents, too. They
talk about the Dryden
community, referring to it
as a small town family,
that they know will con-
tinue to welcome and hold
them in tender, loving
arms regardless of where
they go or how long they
stay away.
Im touched by the
warmth and affection, and
a little jealous about the
familiarity and friendships
the classmates talk about.
When I graduated from
Livonia Stevenson High
School in 1975, I was one
of several hundred in the
class. While I had gone to
elementary and junior high
with some of the students,
the high school was filled
with people from other
parts of the huge school
district, which at the time
included five high schools.
The community was
booming as new homes
and subdivisions went up
at a rapid pace all through
the 1960s and 70s. There
was no small town family
feel to the bedroom com-
munity I grew up in. We
knew all of the neighbors
on our block and the sur-
rounding streets, but there
were just too many people
for any super close rela-
tionships to develop
beyond those bounds.
I didnt know many of
my classmates, as the Im

could leave the campus for

By the time I reached
my senior year, I had

already. My school day ran
from 9 a.m. to noon, when
I rushed off to my well- ine it will be so throughout

operator at Awrey Bakery.
I loved every minute of
that job, where I outpaced
my minimum wage earn-

cents. I was rolling in the
dough at $2.60 an hour.
I didnt know the
Valedictorian of my class
except by name. Ditto for
the Salutatorian. These
days, Id be hard pressed
to name 10 members of
Stevensons Class of 1975,
as the relationships and
connections seemed limit-
ed to the confines of the
brick and mortar school
building.
This is so not the case
at Dryden Jr./Sr. High
School. As I sit and listen
to Student Council
President Sean Riley, to
Salutatorian Haylee Wolle
and Valedictorian Mia
Sliman, Im impressed
with the constant theme of
family and friendship
thats woven through their
recollections. Each of them
remark on their differences
and similarities, and how
they know and appreciate
their connection to the
small town community that
nurtured and nourished
their souls throughout the
years.

lowing is a transcript of the
speech given by Doug
Hunter on behalf of Albert
A. Glassford Post 142 of
the American Legion in
Capac during last week-
ends Memorial Day cere-
mony.
T he year was 1917, a
century ago. A war was
being fought in Europe
this was a war of extermi-
nation aimed at democracy
and personal freedoms. Our
allies had their backs
against the wall. Capac and
the surrounding area was
agricultural. The industrial-
ization of America was in
its infancy. Horsepower
was determined by horses
and darkness was con-
quered with candles.
Then the call came, the
flag that flutters in the
wind so freely was under
assault and threatened. To
the surprise of the world,
the United States, under
this very flag today, pro-
duced the most extraordi-
nary, talented soldiers the
word had ever witnessed
and continues to the pres-
ent. They had exuberance,
courage and the will to
destroy anyone and any-
thing that would dare
threaten freedom and
democracy. Within months,
American resolve had
placed one million men on
European soil. The Kaiser
was not the only foe in the
fight, an epidemic of the
Finding new ways to enjoy books
B ecause reading is not
the hobby for me that
it used to be, due to my
macular degeneration; but
because taking the sen-
tence of no more reading
lying down is not an
option, Im always on the
lookout for alternative
ways to enjoy books. My
favorite way is with audio
books, preferably on disk
so Mike and I can enjoy
them in the car.
Now, Im not a Ted
Dekker fan. It isnt that I
dont like his writing
styleI just havent had a
proper introduction to it. I
remember reading one of
his books a long time ago;
and when I found Red on a
super sale, I bought it,
along with House, in which
Dekker teamed up with
Frank Peretti.
OK, I thought, I know
Peretti. I can DO this.
Mike and I persevered
through House, wondering
along the way why we
were listening to it. Now
and then, we had a little
glimmer of understanding;
and by the end of the book
the veil had lifted. We had
caught on to the allegory

Nothing wrong with Mom
and Dads place, but the
rules there were not made
by me. The dorm at col-
lege didnt count nor did
the barracks I lived in
while in the Air Force.
Again, somebody elses
rules.
But when I went to
work in East Lansing I got

Now the rules were made
by me. Interestingly, I vol-

arrive in France with as lit-

them sick, yet even this did
not diminish their resolve
to maintain the freedom
that our flag stood for. The
War to end all wars was
won by the intervention of
our forefathers that are bur-
ied in France and the veter-
ans right here under this
sacred soil.
Their sacrifices are
astounding.
Killed in action:
53,402. Disease (the flu)
63,114. Wounded: 204,002.
Total casualties: 320,518.
As you digest that steak

contemplate the lost and
broken dreams of those
who gave their all for us on
this the most sacred day of
all Americans. Without
their sacrifices, just imag-

be.

felt

A maybe to hunt up a ceme-

or two
into Red,
however, we realized that
to understand the plot, we
would have to ask the local
library to track down Black
and White, the first and
third book in what was
proving to be an adrena-
line-laced trilogyone in
which the author skillfully
took the main character
from the fantasy of
Thomas Hunters dream
world to the reality of his
daily existence and back,
over and over and over
again.
Friday, they came. By
now I think I may have fig-
ured out the essence of the
titles. I think, but Im not
sure, that Im onto some
of the layered insinuations.
It didnt help that the first
the rules I was used to but
not all. My dad, for exam-
ple, was a stickler about
turning off the lights when
you left a room. Dont
waste electricity, hed say.
It costs money! Now I
could leave the lights on if
I wanted. And I could stay
out as long as I wanted
with nobody waiting up
with a lecture when I got
home.
Dad also turned the
furnace down at night. I
was often cold overnight,
so my rule was to turn the
furnace down during the
day when I wasnt there
but keep the temperature
warm and comfy when I
was there.
So, yes, it was great to
finally have my own
pad. But dad wasnt
paying the rent anymore. I
was. A rude awakening
about what it costs to
maintain your own place.
I now had my own car.
Freedom! A beautiful 66
Chevy Caprice. But the
feeling was slightly altered
when I realized how much
it cost to own and operate
a car. Even when gas was
here, graying with weak-
today, a little red zit will
and eyes that sag. If that
flag called again, the spar-
kle would return in their
again for that flag, for you
and I. Do not just salute the
flag, salute them because
they are the flag.
Thank you and may God
keep blessing America and
its veterans.

there is even a small

not waiting to do a BEA

that the seller provide one

making your offer subject

the results of it. This way
you can back out of the

if you do move forward I

Paul Streber and his wife
Nancy made the difficult
decision to move her father
from Hamtramck to their
home in Almont so he
could receive round-the-
clock hospice care while
battling cancer.
Just five years after her
father, Nancy Streber also
passed away at her home in
Almont, but not before
making known that one of
her last wishes was to give
back to the people who
cared for her father at the
end of his life.
In 1997, Dave Streber
launched the Nancy Streber
Memorial Golf Classic to
honor the legacy and wish-
es of his mother. Dave and
Tami have traditionally
hosted the event on
Mothers Day weekend,
donating all proceeds to
McLaren Hospice.
With the support of
family, friends and dozens
of community sponsors,
the Strebers held the 20th
annual Nancy Streber
Memorial Golf Classic on
Saturday, May 13, at

Through the generosity
of event sponsors and

from the FFAs annual flower fundraiser, and the students then care
for the plants until they are brought to downtown. Pictured are FFA

The proposal calls for
employees to submit a let-
ter of resignation at least
two calendar weeks before

must do to collect property
from the employee and take
steps to change access to
email accounts, internet

departments for the pur-
pose of receiving treat-
ment, said McKenna.
Once the process has
been initiated, we contact a
volunteer (Angel) who
takes over.
The role of the Angel
is to coordinate treatment,
provide transportation and
information, and generally
be assistive to the addict in
setting forth his/her path to
recovery.
While this program
alone will not rid our com-
munities of these drugs
that have plagued our com-
munities, McKenna said,
it can begin the process
of recovery if the individu-
al wants it.
Undersheriff Jeremy
Howe agreed that the pro-
grams success will require
the full participation of the
addict.
He added that while

Our job is to act as

We try to make the indi-
vidual comfortable in their

tact a volunteer Angel to
meet with them privately
and begin the process of
providing treatment.
Its a new concept for
local law enforcement,
Howe admitted, but this
program has proved to be
effective in Macomb
County and in Eastern
states.
Its important to
understand that people
who are struggling with
addictions are still deserv-
ing of support, Howe
said. A lot of times that
means detoxing before the
treatment can begin.
He added that Lapeer
