Alyssa Molnar (center) and fellow Grand Valley State University students pose
for photo before the Bastille Day fireworks show begins on July 14th in Nice,
France. Alyssa and her friends ran for cover as the celebration turned into
tragedy at the hands of a lone terrorist.
NICE, FRANCE
Alyssa Molnar and her
friends didnt think much of
all the commotion that
sprung up from the crowds
to their right as the magnificent Bastille Day fireworks
boomed to an end.
It was a special day in a
magical placenot only
were the French celebrating
their independence on July
14th, Alyssa was holding her
own celebrationher 22nd

birthday.
The 2012 Imlay City
High School graduate and
her American friends were
on the Promenade des
Anglais, and were eager to
get to their next destination
to continue the festivities.
They thought those who
were scrambling toward
them with great haste were
rushing to do the same.
It wasnt until they heard
the shouts of a police officer
that Alyssa and companions
knew something was very

wrong.
Patir! Patir! the officer
shoutedsaying
Leave!Leave! in French.
While the words took a
second to register, the look
on the officers face as he
screamed down at the crowd
from the Promenade was
telling.
The look of fear in his
eyes is something I will
never forget, Alyssa says.

The case was dismissed in its

Challenger for prosecutors office comes out swinging at July 12 event
TRI-CITY AREA
Lapeer County Prosecutor
candidate Mike Sharkey came
out swinging at a candidates
forum hosted by the Lapeer
County Tea Party last
Tuesday, July 12.
Sharkey, a Republican, is
challenging incumbent Tim
Turkelson, also a Republican.
Disgraced former state representative Todd Courser,
(R-Silverwood), was a no
show on Tuesday. His name
will also appear on the August
ballot. The winner will face
Democrat Phil Fulks in

November.
During opening remarks,
Sharkey told the crowd that
he was not happy with the
way the prosecutors office is
run, and that he and Turkelson
are not friends.
I dont intend to be
friends with him, and I dont
intend to be friends with him
in this campaign, Sharkey
said. I dont like the way he
makes decisions, I dont like
the way he treats people differently.
Sharkey alleged that
Turkelson has one form of
justice for his friends, and
another for his enemies,

who face extreme prosecution.
Turkelson, who as been at
the helm in the prosecutors
office since 2013, retorted
that Sharkey is a one-issue
candidate, and the issue is
not the right one.
Im not the person Mr.
Sharkey says I am, he said.
Turkelson said Sharkey
was not equipped to handle
the job, and pointed out weaknesses with regard to the budget process and the penal system.
Sharkey, a former Lapeer
District Court Administrator
and Magistrate, represented

Judge Byron Konschuh in an
alleged embezzlement case
brought against him in 2014.
Turkelson contacted the attorney generals office when he
could find no protocol for
handling of a collection fee
check that crossed his desk. A
special prosecutor was
assigned to the case, and
Konschuh was charged with
five counts of embezzlement
by a public official over $50.
All felony embezzlement
charges were dropped. The
parties entered a settlement
agreement,

By Tom Wearing
Tri-City Times Staff Writer
IMLAYCITY For
the third consecutive year,
the Eastern Michigan State
Fair will open its gates and
hearts to people with special
needs.
On Thursday, July 28
from 10 a.m. to noon, local
children and adults with special needs and their caregivers will be admitted free to
enjoy the midway rides.
At noon, attendees are
invited to partake in a free
lunch and refreshments,
funded and served by Paul
LaFontaine Jr. and the staff

at Imlay City Ford.
Eastern Michigan State
Fair Manager Ian Kempf said
Special Needs Day provides a rare opportunity for
physically and developmentally challenged kids and
adults to enjoy the carnival
rides unencumbered by the
presence of large crowds.
Thanks to the support
of Imlay City Ford and the
staff from Arnold
Amusements, we are able
to open the midway early
and allow an important
segment of our population
free reins to the fairs

Paul LaFontaine Jr.
praised the Eastern Michigan
Fair Board and everyone
involved in the program.
When we first heard
about this program, we knew
we wanted to be a part of it,
LaFontaine says. All of our

Capac board approves surplus

budget for 2016-17 school year
By Maria Brown
CAPAC The school

district is on track to add
money to their fund balance at
the conclusion of the 2016-17
school year. Board of education members approved the
coming years budget at their
June 30 meeting. With an
anticipated $9.73 million in
revenues and $9.72 million in
expenditures, district leaders

anticipate putting $13,443 in
their fund balance, pushing
that account to just shy of
$899,000.
This budget represents the
third time in the last five years
that the district has projected
revenues exceeding expenditures. It also represents just
how the general fund budget
has shrunk. Business Manager
Deb Lewis notes the 2003-04
budget exceeded $14 million.

As student numbers have fallen
and associated cutbacks were
made, Capac Schools revenue
and expenditure have trended
down.
The 2015-16 budget anticipated $10.3 million in revenues
and $10.6 million in expenditures. At the close of the budget year, the district dipped
into their fund balance for
$342,000 to cover expenses.

ICUMC members handing out

free treats at Blueberry Parade
By Tom Wearing
IMLAYCITY There
seems no end to the learning
process for the Rev. Dr.
Marcel Allen Lamb, pastor of
the Imlay City United
Methodist Church.
As evidence of his unceasing interest in Jesus teachings, Pastor Lamb recently
earned his Doctor of Ministry
degree in Biblical Preaching
and Christian Leadership
from Asbury Theological
Seminary
in
Wilmore,
Kentucky.
Born and raised in and
around Kokomo, Indiana,
Pastor Lamb, 51, is the son of
a Wesleyan pastor, along with
several other family members
in the clergy.
Ordained in 1997, Lamb
has 26 years in the ministry
and served as the pastor of
churches in Au Gres and Mio,
before coming to Imlay City
four years ago.
Pastor Lamb says he, his
wife, Michelle, and daughter,
Madelyn, 12, have found the
community to be a very good
fit.
There is a lot of positivity among the people here,
and they are well-grounded in
their faith, says Lamb. They
share strong Biblical values
and are well-connected to
Christ and to one another.
Pastor Lamb says the congregation at Imlay City
United Methodist Church
(ICUMC) currently numbers
about 140 people, and he
seeks to grow that number.
If we can get a hundred
people on a Sunday, thats a
good day, Lamb admits.
Especially during the summer; everyone is so busy.
Outreach programs
In the ongoing effort to
grow the congregation and
serve the spiritual needs of
the community, Pastor Lamb
says ICUMC sponsors a number of outreach programs.
One of them takes place

on Saturday, July 23 at 3 p.m.,
when church members distribute free hot dogs, popcorn
and snowcones to attendees

Pastor Lamb adds that on
August 1-4, the church hosts
its annual Vacation Bible
School (VBS) for beginning
kindergartners through fifth
grade.
In association with West
Goodland Methodist Church,
VBS Classes will run from

Lamb says the Imlay City
congregation also takes part
in Imlay Citys annual
Homecoming Parade, the
Downtown Merchants Trickor-Treat, Christmas Light
Parade and other activities.
We also have a dedicated
group of leaders who meet on
Wednesdays to pray for any
needs and prayer requests,
says Pastor Lamb. Another
group meets meets Sunday
morning before church to
pray.
Our worship style is
familial and blended, he
says, using live musicians
and encouraging the talents of
young and old.
My family and I love
Imlay City and the Imlay City

Lamb says. We hope to be
able to serve here for a long
time.

Letters to the Editor
Apparently, Americans just do not care about tomorrow

Earlier this year, State
Representative Gary Howell
included a survey with his
first Capital Report. The survey asked us to rate our top
legislative priorities with several suggested categories and
options to add additional priorities.
On June 1st, some 100 of
Representative Howells constituents received a summary
of the survey they had
answered and submitted.
Some of the survey issues
we could prioritize were
Government Accountability,
Jobs and the Economy, Tax
Reduction,
Vocational
Education, Reform/Repeal
Auto No Fault, Roads/and

Infrastructure, Opposition to
LGBTQ School Bathroom
Guidelines, Pro Life support
and
Protecting
the
Environment.
Concern for the environment garnered a meager 2%
of the survey responders

we deserve. Apparently, we

Our Opinion
Opportunities for fun
abundant around area
heres no shortage of things to do around

the area this summer. From festivals to
the Almont and Imlay City free summer
concert series, residents dont need to travel far
to enjoy the best that the season has to offer.
This weekend, Imlay City will again host
its popular Blueberry Festival. For 36 years in
a row volunteer organizers and the Imlay City
Chamber of Commerce and DDA have teamed
up to create a family-friendly festival that
offers numerous activities and events for children and grown-ups, all at no charge. Whether
its the Blueberry Pie and Ice Cream Social at
the Historical Museum or the classic car show
and top-notch stage entertainment, Imlay City
is the place for fun and fellowship during the
Blueberry Festival weekend.
The family fun continues as the Eastern
Michigan State Fair kicks off on the heels of
the Blueberry Festival. Again, a week of summertime fun is just around the corner for area
families to enjoy.
All of these events take weeks and months
of planning, and funding by way of local foundations, area businesses and individual sponsorship, and donations to the cause. Along with
enjoying all the festivities have to offer, please
patronize the businesses that make it possible,
and say thank you to those who volunteer
countless hours of their time to offer these
first-class family events.
Its not difficult to find something fun to do
in the Tri-City areawe urge everyone to get
out there and enjoy the best the season has to
offer while summer marches on. See you out
there!
of today or the generations of

tomorrow. An example, a
sorry example, of the complacency of the people of
Michigan was our inability to
muster enough signatures to
meet the requirements for a
petition to ban fracking. With
a population of 11 million
people we needed 252,000
signatures to allow us to submit the petition to the state
legislature. If 2.2 people for
every 100 citizens of
Michigan took the time to
sign, we could have had a

fracking ban initiative on the
ballot this fall. Are we that
complacent, are we that uninformed, or are we that lazy we
cant get out of our cars and
walk into a building to sign a
petition? If we had succeeded
in banning fracking, and
fracking turned out to be as
safe as all the advertisements
sponsored by the oil and gas
companies claim; we could
have in 20 or 30 years rescinded the ban.
I will bet the CEOs of the

gas, oil and drilling companies are throwing a big party
celebrating our failure. They
dodged a big bullet in
Michigan and it didnt cost
them one of their tax free
dollars. They just relied on
good old American complacency and apathy and they
won the day.
I would like to thank the
people who put together the
petition drive and all the volunteers for their diligence try-
ing to gather the needed signatures, spending their weekends at flea markets and other
gatherings collecting signatures. They did collect
225,000 signatures from people who care about our environment and who want to be
good stewards of the land.
All of them can stand tall and
proud because of the effort
they put forth.
Sincerely,
Tom Janicki
Almont Twp.
Dear America,
How long have we harbored this racism that has so
recently come to light in such
magnitude? Did it start when
we became our own nation?
Did it start when we tore this
nation in two over slavery? Or
did it start all those years ago
when all of our immigrant

ancestors boarded boats in
Europe, sailed to this great
nation of ours and built
Jamestown? Is that how far
back our racist roots run?
But, I ask myself, didnt
we already solve this issue, all
those years ago? We solved
that 151 years ago, back when

the bloodiest conflict on
American soil ended. Or, if not
then, possibly back in 1964,
when Brown v. Board of
Education built unified schools,
no longer allowing segregation
to flourish in this great nation
of ours. But it appears that this
issue is far from solved. Instead

of becoming closer together as
a country, we have begun to
destroy ourselves, and I am
afraid. I fear not for myself, I
fear for my children, and their
children. I fear, for the future.

Racism issue appears far from solved
Tim Turkelson is being unfairly portrayed

The primary election for
the Republican candidate for
Prosecutor is coming soon. In
social media, as well as elsewhere, I believe our current
prosecutor, Tim Turkelson, is
being unfairly portrayed. As a
criminal defense attorney
who has very frequent contacts with the office of the
Prosecutor I can state without
hesitation that myself, as well
as those I represent, have
been treated very fairly and
competently.
I have known, and dealt
with, Tim Turkelson since he

first came to Lapeer County. I
have been on the opposite
side of cases with him in
criminal cases as well as civil
cases when he was in private
practice. Tim is very knowledgeable in the law, he is a
man of great integrity and he
is a man of his word. I have
the utmost respect for Tim
Turkelson as a lawyer and as
a person. In fact I twice tried
to hire him to work for me
but he chose a different path.
It is my opinion that the

about an email I received
regarding my June 29th column. In that column, I shared
my own personal views
about what I perceive as a
problem in this country with
weapons of war. Im talking
assault weapons like AK-47s,
AR-15s, Uzis, and MAC-10s.
The email writer feels
that the issue is not the semiautomatic weapons, he feels
its the weapon free zones,
like the gay nightclub where
the Orlando massacre took
place. I have heard this argument before, like when
theres been mass shootings
on college campuses and in
elementary schools.
They have become so
common that it seems no
place is sacred, and unfortunately, since the June 29th
column, there have been two
more mass shootings by
civilians with war-grade
weapons. Weapons that have
enabled them to take out
numerous police in very

Mt. Morris Police support former chief

As many of you are
aware, retired Mt. Morris
Township Chief of Police,
Scott McKenna, is campaigning to be your Sheriff in this
years election. On behalf of
our Patrol and Supervision
unions we would like to take
a moment to show our support for our former leader.
Although unfamiliar with the
incumbent and other candidate we cannot express
enough how much Chief
McKenna did for our agency
and community during his
years here as Chief of Police
and during the other various
hats he has worn for our
department. Chief McKenna
left our agency in 2014 as one
of the most well respected
officers to wear the uniform.
Chief Mckenna worked
his way up from the ranks of
patrol to the position of Chief

of Police in 2010. In between
those years Chief McKenna
served our community as a
Patrol Officer, Narcotics officer, K9 Officer, (RIP K9
Bronko), Training OfficerTraining Supervisor, Patrol
Sergeant and Detective
Sergeant. We can say, without
hesitation,
that
Chief
McKenna was successful in
and left every one of those
positions better than when he
took them over, including his
term as Chief of Police. Due
to the various titles and ranks
held by Chief McKenna from
1994 to 2010, he was the
most well rounded and obvious candidate to lead our
agency when the top position
opened up in 2010.
Prior to Chief McKennas
appointment our agency was
faced with losing several

positions due to a declining
tax base and statutory revenue
sharing that the Township
relied on. After 2 years under
McKennas leadership, he
found ways for this department to do more with less,
avoided layoffs and made
sure that this community
received the professional service it deserved all while
dealing with a strained budget. Chief McKenna earned
the respect of our department
well before his appointment
as Chief due to his strong
work ethic and always doing
the right thing. Morale within our agency was exceptional
under his leadership as a
result of his integrity, care for
his employees, transparency
and
team

criticism that some have

expressed in regards to Tims

Judge Byron T. Konschuh is
unwarranted. The decision to
prosecute and what charges
to bring were made by a

port. Chiefs fiscal responsibility proved to be crucial in

getting this department back
on its feet. After deciding to
retire from our agency Chief
McKenna made sure that our
officers were left in good
hands as he played a major
role in seeking out his replacement, who has picked up right
where he left off.
As union members, it is
very seldom that we involve
ourselves in politics and
endorsements; however, this
letter of support is for a man
who has done so much for us
and our community. Chief
McKenna retired from our

his name being mentioned in
the same company as some of

In the little Village of
Almont, Michigan, another
event took place that is still
benefitting the community
and surrounding area to this
day.
Other nearby communities had libraries so a group
of citizens formed a board to
plan a library for Almont.
They met on July 11, 1916.
Attending were Mrs. G.W.
Paton, Mrs. E.W. Ferguson,
Mrs. Melvin Curtis, C.D.
Ferguson and A.J. Fox. Mrs.
Paton was elected chairman.
According to the minutes of
the meeting, the chairman
was instructed to purchase
stationery and rubber stamp
and the secretary (Fox) was
instructed to draft a form of
circular letter in request of
books and present same at
next meeting.
Townspeople raised
money for the purchase of
books, in part by forming an
Almont Library Association
which sold memberships.
Some of the first books in
the library collection were,

and Now, the library opened

to the public on Saturday,
March 1, 1919. It was an
instant success.
Mrs. Mattie Johnson was
hired as the first librarian for
$30 per month.
In her third annual report
to the board on March 31,
1921, librarian Johnson stated, Our circulation of books
for the past year has been
7,358 volumes, of which
6,567 volumes were fiction
and 791 volumes were nonfiction...and 1,845 magazines
have been loaned during the
year.
Johnson went on to say
in her report that 406 reference questions had been
answered. We have received
many gift books, she continued, besides buying many
more. Among the gifts was a
set of 30 volumes of
Encyclopedia Americana presented by Mrs. A.L. Stephens
of Detroit. These books have
been published since the
European War, are thoroughly revised, well illustrated
with plates and maps and are
a set of most excellent reference books.
Finally, she reported that
The Community Room has
been used by several societies and clubs and many a
pleasant time has been
enjoyed this year at the
library.
After Mrs. Johnson, other
librarians included Mrs. Lois
Stannard, Mrs. Roy Vaness,
Evelyn Wilson, Ann
Rinderknecht, Helen Farley,
Genevieve Senyk, Kay
Torney among others.
I remember very well
going to the library when I
was a kid. It was an absolute
wonder to me. I could visit
nearly anywhere in the world
just by picking up a book.
My interest in history was
certainly enhanced by the
library and its helpful staff. I
heard about a book about the
Alamo, A Time to Stand
by Walter Lord, but Almont
didnt have it. So the librarian ordered it for me from the
state library in Lansing
through inter-library loan.

Tips for local mosquito control

Editors note: The following guest column was submitted by Annette

Health Officer for the St.
Clair County Health
Department. She may be

he emerging concerns
about Zika virus and its
impact on unborn children
has many people wondering
about mosquito control; fortunately, the mosquito that
spreads Zika virus is not
believed to live in Michigan
and we do not expect Zika to
see local transmission. As a
precaution, the State is
restarting some of its mosquito surveillance programs
(trapping and identifying
mosquito species) in select
counties.
In contrast, presence of
West Nile Virus (WNV)
(another disease spread by
mosquitoes) has been around

since 1999. Upon the emergence of WNV, the health
department was an active
participant in WNV surveillance. Now that WNV in
Michigan is established and
considered widespread, our
State surveillance is focused
on human disease. We watch
this closely and there has
been one reported case of
WNV in St. Clair County
since 2009. The species that
carries the WNV (Culex species) prefers to breed in
storm water systems or catch
basins. Over 80% of the
WNV cases in Michigan
come from the urban areas of
Wayne, Oakland, Macomb
and Kent Counties. The vast
majority of these WNV
infections cause no symptoms or very mild infections
with less than 1% having
serious life-threatening conditions. Even one case can be

Classic Car Show at Sanctuary

IMLAY CITY Calling all classic car buffs!
Sanctuary at Maple Vista is hosting a free classic car
show on Tues., July 26 from 1-3 p.m. Anyone interested
in showing off their classic and/or antique vehicle is welcome to do so at the event. Along with the car show,
refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend the
free event. For more information on showing a classic
vehicle contact Jennifer Martin-Grandlund at 810-7246300 to reserve a spot. Sanctuary at Maple Vista is

alarming, but there is no evidence that a mosquito control

program can reduce the
impact of this level of disease.
Mosquito abatement programs invariably include
aerosol spraying with pesticides. The potential shortand long-term health risks
are considerable, including
harm to the ecosystem that
could naturally curtail mosquito populations. Based on
the cost from the four counties in Michigan with millage
funded mosquito abatement
programs, it would cost well
over 2.5 million annually to
implement a similar program
here in St. Clair County.
Reducing mosquito-breeding
sites such as standing water
is known as source control,
and is an effective mosquito
control method. Since adult
mosquitoes seldom travel
more than a mile, neighborhood source control can be
extremely effective and nontoxic! Also, take these steps
to protect against mosquitoes:
Install or repair window
and door screening
Empty water from buckets, unused pools, tires and
other like areas
Change out animal
water bowls and bird baths
daily
Use nets or fans over
outdoor eating areas
Avoid being outside at
dusk and dawn
Wear light-colored,
long-sleeved shirts and long
pants outside
Use repellents that contain the active ingredient
DEET-EPA approved products.
In order to determine
what is best for this community, the St. Clair County
Health Department is actively monitoring the results of
existing mosquito surveillance programs and mosquito

control programs. With only
one case of WNV in 7 years,
zero cases of locally transmitted Zika anticipated, and
with limited and often dwindling resources for critical
public health programs, this
department is hesitant to
engage in an active mosquito
abatement program at this
time. If further actions are
needed, the health department can assist with program
development and facilitating
expertise from state and contractual partners. Our primary goal is to protect and promote public health, particularly compelled with evidence and responsible
resource management.

Almont library celebrates centennial
Mo and his master enjoy quiet time together.
To love a cat
unconditionally
W
eve seen telltale signs

the past few years. Mo,
our outdoor/indoor mouser
extraordinaire, hasnt scampered to the door when we
slide it open to snow and
frigid air. He curls his tail
tighter around him, dreams
of bygone days and nights as
Alpha Cat, raiding all the
food bowls set out in the
neighborhood.
He doesnt meow much
to be let out. I do and dont
appreciate that. It hurts to see
Mo slow down, reminds me
of P.J., our previous mouser
of eight years. When Mos
sister was run over as a yearling, he mourned for months.
Eventually, he recovered
with TLC, although he preferred my husband to feed
him.
My household timekeeper guesses Mos age at seventeen, beyond his life
expectancy. You cat lovers
understand the bond between
the two, one strengthened
with passing time and routine. Mo knows six oclock
when Mels blue CRV parks
by the grape arbor. He stands
at the basement-kitchen door
and calls his name.
Me-o-l!
Thats what Ive enjoyed
most about Mo since we
adopted him and his sibling
from a litter of feral kittens.
His vocalizations are musical. Alas, Ive learned you
cant name a hunter Mozart
and expect a relationship.
Mos never had a thing to do
with me, goes on hunger
strikes when Mel is out of
town. Until this summer, we
couldnt sit down to dinner
without Mos interruptions
calling my husbands name
at the kitchen door, rubbing
his facial pheromones on
everything close to his masters chair. Thats one jealous
cat.
Once the snow melted
this year, Mo strolled outside, found the warmest step
south of the house, rubbed
his face on the stone, rolled

onto his back, and at last laid
down his four paws and
slept. Weeks passed before I
noticed the quietude of our
table for two.
Wheres Mo? I asked.
Im worried about him. He
isnt hunting much these
days.
Oh, he still hunts.
Afterward, I found his
chipmunk-gut gifts at the
garage
doorstep.
If I didnt
know better, Id
think he
wanted to
put my
mind at
ease.
Then, I
saw him
strutting
home from
our neighbors woodpile with
a vole clenched in his jaws.
Good boy!
Although my affection
for Mo remains unrequited, I
love him nonetheless. To
love a cat is to practice
unconditional love, a most
difficult virtue to achieve.
He has no clue it is I who
finds the most caring critter
sitters for him and the hens
while were away from
home.
Yesterday, a friend summarized my sentiments about
our beloved pet as we
hugged good-bye under the
farms pergola. I have an
old cat waiting at home.
Maya is certainly very special to me. Shes not doing
well, but Im not yet ready to
give up on her ninth life just
yet.
Dear Reader, when Mos
ninth life expires, well bury
him beside P.J., next to the
compost bins. And when our
hearts recover, I hope we
bring home a mouser who
prefers me.

fascinated when I read one
Id never heard before.
Jimmy Lin tells of having
recently had gall bladder surgery. According to him, the
Chinese word for gall bladder is dan, which also means
courage. So after a patient
has his gall bladder removed,
he is often teased about no
longer having courage.
Interesting, I thought
about having heard people
say, Well, youve got gall!
While thats probably a more
negative use of the word, the
phrase Id never really
thought twice about suddenly
made sense to me. Gall.
Courage. Who knew?
I thought about the

wherever you go.
On a slightly different
note, I was wanting to mention another local author
event here in Imlay City.
Author Amalia Aguinaga will
be at the Bible Book Store in
downtown Imlay City all day

Friday during the Blueberry
Festival. The graduate of
Imlay City High School
(Amalia Monroe, class of
1999) teamed up with illustrator Lindsey Chandler of
Almont to bring us a charming book called God Pieces
Me Together, written probably mostly for children but
equally as enjoyable for
adults. Drop on by and meet
the author, hear what
prompted her to write the
book, and maybe even
encourage her by buying an
autographed copy for a
Christening, First
Communion, birthday, or
Christmas gift for someone
in your life. Do you realize
this is the second local
author signing books in two

"...I have to

if not for myself
then for those
84 people who
no longer have
their lives..."
that, my friends and I picked
up the pace.
In a journey that seemed
to last forever, Alyssa and
her friends made it back to
their host familys apartment.
They frantically tried to get
in touch with the friends that
had been separated from
their group.
Alyssa called her sister,
who answered the phone
Happy Birthday. Thats
when she broke down in
tears.
My sister asked me
what was wrong and I told
her how Ithought there were
terrorists at the beach and
how people had heard gunshots, Alyssa says. I was
out of breath. I was in shock.
I was cold, and frightened,
and shaking.
Turns out, Alyssa and her
friends were just a half-mile
away from the center of the
tragedy that occurred when a
lone terrorist drove a large
truck through the Bastille
Day celebrants, killing 84
men, women and children.
******
Alyssa found herself in
Nice as part of her studies at
Grand Valley State
University. Shes pursuing a
degree in English Language
and Literature with a minor
in French. Shes enrolled in a
five-week accelerated program to complete her minor.
With a career goal to work in
a museum, she will graduate
Drain Commissioner Joe Suma and challengers Pierre King and Robert
VanDenBerg at candidates forum on July 12.
in December with her bachelors degree.

On July 15th, Alyssa
awoke to a somber mood
that had engulfed an entire
nation. She said her host
mom encouraged Alyssa and
her friends to go to class so
theyd experience some
semblance of normal.
It was a good choice,
Alyssa says. Being with the
French people and speaking
their language helped take
our minds off of things, if
only for a little while.
She says the mood was
hushed and quiet; stores
were closed and the streets
were quieter than usual.
Now, a few days later,
life is getting back to normal, she says.
She says she feels a
brotherhood with the French
people, who showed their
resilience and humanity during the attack.
In her fury to find out
what was happening as the
attack unfolded, Alyssa was
met with compassion and
support.
When I asked people
for help, if they knew anything about what had happened, they started to answer
in French, she says. This
normally wouldnt have been
a problem, but because of
the shock and fear, understanding was difficult...When
we asked if he spoke any
english, his friend piped up
and said she did. Ill never
forget their kindness.
Alyssa says she was
touched by their willingness
to help strangers understand,
even while facing their own
great fear.
They were just as
scared as we were but yet
took the time to help us, she
says. I see no hostility or
particular bad attitude toward
any one group of people
here, before the 14th and
after.
******
Sorting out her emotions
in the aftermath of the tragedy has been a process.
Alyssa says sharing her
thoughts, and writing about
the experience has been
cathartic.
She says her decision to
remain in Nice and finish her
program is simple: life goes
on.
I could run from this
and head back to the States,
but then the terrorists win
because theyve instilled a
fear in us, she says. I could
stay here and have something else horrible happen,
and then the terrorists win
again. Either way, I have to
continue on living, if not for
myself then for those 84
people who no longer have
their lives.
When asked what she
thinks she and other
Americans can do to help,
Alyssa says the answer isnt
clear.
Im not sure exactly
what we as Americans can
do, she says. Pray. Pray for
peace and love. Maybe more
so for ourselves; to not be so
desensitized to the violence
in our own country.
That violence seems to
be in overdrive, Alyssa says,
and it dominates the news
even in France.
I feel like all I see on
the news is stories of massacres, shootings, police brutality, etc., she says. With
movies, music and books,
even there we have so much
violence and death. I know I
dont speak only for myself
when I say we have become
desensitized and immune to
violence.
Alyssa says she is no
longer so out of touch, so
desensitized with the devastation violence brings.
From experiencing the
events on July 14th, from
running for my life with the
fear of the unknown chasing
me, I cant say Ill ever be
immune to violence again,
she says. It shouldnt take
escaping a terrorist for people to realize the corruption
happening in our own land.
Alyssa is the daughter of
Michael and Lee Ann
Molnar.

A member of the Lapeer

I have prosecuted every

There is no case I havent

He said hes reduced the

the courthouse coffers.
Sharkey countered that
his first priority would be to

their views at the forum.
Republicans
Mike

Jefferson Williams and
Democrat Howard Coon discussed the condition of the
countys roads, and agreed
that fixing them is a long-
term goal that requires careful budgeting and prioritization.

All candidates agreed
that an extra-voted millage
would make the job much
easier, but doubted that voters would approve such a
proposal anytime soon.
Drain Commission candidates Joe Suma (incumbent), Pierre King and Robert
Bob VanDenBerg, all
Republicans, discussed their
qualifications for the job as
well.
Prioritizing
problem
areas, increasing communication with the public, and
digitizing the countys

that image out of my mind.
In full fight or flight
mode, Alyssa kicked off her
sandals and ran for the other
set of stairs leading away
from the promenade and
down to the beach.
As she sprinted over the
rocks, Alyssas mind raced to
recent horrors that have
occurred at the hands of terrorists in France.
Charlie Hebdo. The
Bata clan. The concert hall.
The grocery store, Alyssas
mind ticked off all the
attacks.
I had no idea what was
behind me or why people
were running, she says. All
I had was the fear of the
unknown and my own imagination. I didnt know if they
were one person or 100. I
didnt know if they had guns
or bombs...the beach was
loud and the fireworks were
even louder.
Alyssa grabbed hold of
two of her friends, the others
ran toward opposite stairs on
the beach.
They headed toward the
west to Old Nice, (a cluster
of historic buildings in a
busy part of the city). Alyssa
made the choice because it
was away from the main
road, a road that had a tram
and was known for its easy
access in Nice.
We went through the
crowded streets of Old Nice
in a sprint, she says. As we
started to slow, we asked
questions to the people who
had run with us, both in
French and in English, to try
to get the most information
we could.
Like Alyssa and her
friends, many people were in
the dark about what was
occurring. Others speculated
that theyd heard gunshots.
As their pace slowed, they
heard more screams, and
people behind them began
running again.
I think at this time its
because of the gunshots from
the officers firing at the
truck, Alyssa says in hindsight. Without knowing

has accomplished that in
recent years with various
additions to the township park
including a new playscape,
pavilion and park benches.
We will continue to use
tax payer money wisely and
get the most for our dollars,
he said.
One example of that is the
townships success at obtaining matching funds from St.
Clair County to complete several ditching projects along
township roads. Those projects, he said, serve as an
investment in keeping the
roads in good condition.

Pirates parade info

The
Imlay
City
Downtown Development
Authority is proud to
announce the 36th annual
Blueberry Parade.
Line-up for parade participants begins at 2 p.m. at
the
Eastern
Michigan
Fairgrounds, with the parade
commencing at 4 p.m. The
new staging and commencement times will provide for a
greater number of Imlay residents to enjoy the proceedings. Due to the construction
on Almont Ave., the route
will be slightly altered from
years past.
Leaving the Fairgrounds
at 4 p.m., the parade will follow Almont Ave north until
4th St, on which the route
will turn west until it reaches
Handley St. The parade will
continue south on Handley
and
return
to
the
Fairgrounds. The Imlay
City DDA would like to
extend its gratitude to the
Fairgrounds for allowing the
parade to stage on its location. The theme of this years
parade is pirates, in con-
junction with the pirate

themes of the Little Miss
Blueberry Pageant and the
Cutest Baby/Toddler contest.
In addition to the parade,
trophies, sponsored by area
businesses, will be awarded
to parade floats that most
exemplify the categories.
The following is a list of trophy categories and each trophys sponsors:

Longtime Township Clerk
Bonnie Rumley will face a
challenge from Beth Sohn in
the Tuesday, Aug. 2 Primary
election.
Bonnie Rumley is seeking to retain the post she has
held for nearly four decades.
First elected in 1976,
Rumley alludes to her experience, knowledge and dedication as good reasons for residents to vote for her again.
She serves on Lapeer
Countys 911 Board, Dryden
Twp. Planning Commission,
Dryden Historical Society, is
a founding member of the
Friends of the Polly Ann
Trail and volunteers at Seven
Ponds Nature Center.
Listed among Rumleys
proudest accomplishments
are her involvement with the
construction of the townships administration building, public safety building
and fire hall renovation.
She also cites her participation in the development of
Dryden Memorial Park,
General Squier Park, Polly
Ann Trail, the recycling center, and is a member of the
Joint Committee for Park
Development.
I feel I am the best qualified for the Clerks position, says Rumley. I am a
conservative person who has
kept our township debt-free
through responsible financial
management, and Ive made
my office accessible for residents seeking information.
Opposing Rumley is
Clerk candidate Beth Sohn,
a lifelong resident who graduated from Dryden High
School in 1983.
Sohn has previously been
employed at the Peterson &
Son and Rochester Hills
Chrysler-Plymouth dealerships, and is currently
Bonnie

Beth
Sohn
employed
as
Dryden
Community Schools high
school food service director.
She is a member of the
Dryden Fire Dept. Auxiliary
and the School Nutrition
Association of Michigan.
Sohn says her primary
goal as Clerk would be to
establish better communication between the township
and its residents.
Other goals include
informing residents of meeting minutes, upcoming
events, business hours and
contact information via a
website that will be accessible to all Dryden Township
residents.
Sohn proposes later hours
for the clerk one day a week
to provide greater accessibility to residents who are
unable to visit the township
hall during traditional work
hours.
Bonnie Rumley has
done a nice job and I commend her for all her years of
service, says Sohn. But I
would like the chance to be
Township Clerk and to bring
some new ideas to our community; such as a website for
residents to access and voting education for our high
school students to better
understand the voting process.
Its important that our
young people have a better
understanding of the voting
process, she says, including registering to vote and
what to expect on election
day.

ST. CLAIR COUNTY

One of several millage
renewals on the August 2 ballot this year is the St. Clair
County Parks and Recreation
levy.
Voters are being asked to
okay another six-year term
for the .4956 millage, a slight
reduction from the original .5
mills.
It generates about $2.8
million per year and each
year, 25 percent of those
funds are returned to the
countys townships, cities and
villages. Since 2010, those
local monies have totalled
more than $4.2 million.
Parks Director Mark
Brochu points out the millage
is the sole funding source for
the countys parks system as
they dont receive any supplement monies from the countys general fund.
He said staff works hard
to utilize those funds in the
most efficient way possible.
We do as much as we
can through partnerships and
working with community
groups on projects, Brochu
said.
He said theyve worked

aggressively at seeking
grants through the state of
Michigan and have had success obtaining federal grants
as well.
The parks department
operates nine county facilities
including what Brochu calls
their flagship, Goodells
County Park. The park, which
is playing host to the St. Clair
County 4-H and Youth Fair this
week, has seen an array of
improvements and projects
over the last six years. They
include repair and restoration
to various historic buildings on
site, roof installations, painting
projects and the purchase of an
adjacent 38 acre parcel earlier
this year. The parks splash pad
continues to be a popular
attraction during the summer
months.
Their other facilities
include Blueways of St. Clair, a
series of canoe and kayak
launches; the Bridge to Bay
Trail, a 54 mile paved trail; the
Blue Water River Walk, along
the St. Clair River; the
Columbus County Park, Fort
Gratiot Light Station, Fort
Gratiot County Park, Wadhams
to Avoca Trail and Woodsong
County Park.
He said the millage serves
as a worthwhile investment in
the community. The funds
allow the parks department to
buy property and buildings and
develop them for the benefit of
the county.
Its a tangible asset...
something that everyone can
enjoy, he said.
In 2016, the village of
Capac will receive $8,094,
Berlin Twp. will receive
$14,068, Lynn Twp. will
receive $5,263 and Mussey
Twp. will receive $9,918 in
local distribution dollars.
A St. Clair County resident whose homes market
value stands at $100,000 will
pay an estimated $25 per year The splash pad at Goodells County Park continues to be a popular attraction
for the parks millage.

All of its occupants perished
in the crash.
Danielle, 17, was a
senior at Imlay City High
School. Her familyand the
families of all of the teens
who lost their lives that
daywas devastated beyond
belief. Shell-shocked.
Stunned. Overwhelmed.
The tragedy made local
and national headlines as
well. The crash that claimed
Danielles life was one of
two terrible accidents that
night where a total of nine
individuals in their late teens
and early 20s perished.
JHall didnt know how to
cope. Nothing worked. There
was no relief anywhere.
Until he picked up a pen and
found the gift.
He began writing poetry,
and found the words were
driven by a beat in his head.
After going down some dark
roads with his work, JHall
found the light in his hit
song Who I Am. From then
on, its been an endeavor in
artistic and spiritual growth.
JHall is determined to relate
positive messages in innovative ways that range from
different flows and sounds,
to collaborations like the
Blueberry performance with
Hoffman and LaRocksta.
The trio will be offering
a compilation of their
unique, hard-hitting sounds
at the festival for just $5.
Every single track
speaks for itself, JHall says.
Every single track is hype.
******
Along with anticipating
performing again in his
hometown, JHall is taking
his artistry back to its roots.
His latest endeavor, a song
called Angel in Blue Eyes,
is being eyed for commercial
success.
Another reference to his
beloved sister Danielle, JHall
says hes written and rewritten the lyrics at least 50
times, and hes enlisted popular rapper Bubba Sparxxx
of Eye for Eye Entertainment
to sing the hook.
This is competition time
now, JHall says. This is
time to prove why I should
be the best. Angel in Blue
Eyes is taking it back to the
beginning, what got me here
and what started me in
music.
JHall is in the process of
recording the song at
WiseGuy Records Studios in
Roseville, and reps from the
studio will also be in Imlay
City on Friday.
It is a supercool place
and theyre the ace in my
pocket, JHall says. Im
going to introduce Imlay
City to a whole new world.
JHall believes Angel
will help with the healing
process, for himself, his

brother and his parents. Hes
invited them to witness the
final recording.
Maybe its turning a
page, he says. I know none
of us really want to revisit
(the accident), and I dont
really know how.
Theres only one way to
do it, he says, and thats to
just go through with it.
A new parent himself
JHall has a three-year-old
daughter, a one month old
son and a teenaged stepdaughter, he says the heartache his own parents
endured at the loss of
Danielle is inconceivable.
Im a father now, he
says. I cannot imagine what
it would be like losing a kid.
I hope this will help us
heal.
******
Along with healing,
JHall says hes growing as
an artistgrowing in confidence, in finding his voice,
and in perfecting his craft.
Everythings on point,
nothing is sloppy, and if
there are any imperfections
thats what gives (the music)
a raw feeling, he says. The
imperfections are my secret
sauce. They show Im not a
machine.
To illustrate that point,
JHall recently learned hell
move on in the Michigan
State Fair Superstar
Competition. Hell perform
live before the judges on
July 24 at NextWave Media
in Troy.
If he comes out on top,
hell be the headliner at the
State Fair in September,
along with $2,000 in cash
and $20,000 worth of prizes.
Blueberry Festival visitors will have no doubt that
JHall and his companions are
definitely not machines
theyre human through and
through, and theyre looking
to make their mark.
Were gonna have some
fun in Imlay City. People
will be amazed, he says. I
feel like the mad scientist
putting on the white coat.
Were gonna have some
crazy fun. People are gonna
love it.

Christopher Hoffman and
Vinnie LaRocksta will take
the Downtown stage on

fire and police departments.

My priority is to help
protect the lives of our residents, he says. I think
thats our most important
job. So providing our police
and fire departments with the
equipment they need is very
important to me.
Haynes says he also
understands the challenges
of meeting budgets and keeping a watchful eye on where
residents tax dollars go.
We all have to deal with
money and budgets, he
says. We just have to do the
best we can with what we
have.
Married to his wife,
Lynne, for 20 years, Haynes
describes himself as just an
old farm boy who likes
helping his friends and
neighbors.
In addition to serving on
the township board, Haynes
is an associate member of the
Dryden Vets organization
and is a lifetime member of
the
Dryden
Historical
Society.
I am who I am,he says.
Ilike to talk to people and
find out what they think. I
want to represent the wishes
of our residents.
Board Trustee candidate
Richard Nash, 67, is also
well-known in the community, having served multiple
terms on the Dryden Board
of Education, along with
membership in numerous
organizations.
A resident of Dryden
since 1976, Nash has practiced law in the area for 30
years. Nashs wife, Janet,
was a Dryden teacher for
more than 25 years, and his
daughter, Julie, also practices
law in his Dryden law firm.
His sons, Dave and Jeff, also
live locally and continue to
support the community.
Nash believes his experience as a school board member can be beneficial, particularly in matters where both
entities collaborate on a specific project.
An example of that is
our shared interest in the
continued development of
Cardinal Field, Nash says.
There would be a lot of
opportunities for working on
our common goals for the
community.
As an attorney, I want to
keep a close eye on the gravel mining operation in
Metamora, he says. I want
to ensure that gravel trucks

driving through our town do
not negatively impact our
community and its residents.
Im civic-minded and
am always interested in
doing whats best for our
community, adds Nash.
My overall goal is to help
preserve the quality of life
we now enjoy.
Rounding out the list of
trustee candidates is Ralph
Romanowski, whose service
to
the
Dryden community dates
back
16
years.

Romanowski asks voters
to compare his credentials to
those of the other trustee candidates.
Ive been active in
Dryden Township affairs for
more than 16 years and concerned about its future, says
Romanowski. I care about
whats going on in the community, and I make a point of
attending meetings, and not
just at election time.
As an active member of
the Dryden Chamber of
Commerce, Romanowski
says his intention is to support local businesses and to
hire local contractors for
projects whenever possible.
We have people living
right here in this township
who can build or fix anything, says Romanowski.

people and to keep the dollars here in Dryden Township.

giving back.
The people of Dryden

Evans. I love being involved
with this community.
Evans served 20 years as
a
Dryden

and administrative assistant for the
fire department.
As
a

including the acquisition of
the departments first thermal imager.
Evans
additionally
served four years as the secretary of the Dryden

Im very familiar with
budgeting and with the operations of the township, says
Evans. I want what is best
and most economical for our
residents, and to ensure that
they are kept safe.
Running for re-election

An outspoken advocate

Swartz Creek man dies while swimming at park

By Tom Wearing
LAPEERCOUNTY
A 32-year-old Swartz Creek
man died Sunday, July 17,
while swimming in Lake
Minnewanna
at
the
Metamora-Hadley
State
Park.
Sheriffs Det./Sgt. Jason
Parks said the victim,
Pattamus Johnson, had been
swimming with his girlfriend, family and friends,
when he submerged and did

not return to the surface.
Parks said Sheriffs deputies and Hadley Twp. Fire &
Rescue were summoned at
3:58 p.m. to the park site at
3871 Hurd Road.
The group had been
swimming about 10-20 feet
beyond a no swimming
buoy located outside the
lakes public beach area.
When it became apparent
Johnson was unaccounted
for, other swimmers initiated
a search. Also joining the

search, said Parks, were
members of Lapeer Countys
Dive Team.
Parks reported that
Johnsons body was found by
citizens at around 4:17 p.m.
and was brought to shore in
a boat by Hadley Township
firefighters.
Lifesaving
efforts,
including CPR, began immediately, but were unsuccessful, and Johnson was pronounced deceased in the
emergency room at McLarenLapeer Region Hospital.

It is believed that Johnson
had become entangled in
vegetation beneath the water
surface outside the designated swim area.
Parks said a preliminary
investigation suggests that
neither alcohol nor drugs
were factors in the drowning.
The incident remains
under investigation by the
Lapeer County Sheriffs
Department.

REV Group amps it up

Champion parent company to
go public with stock offerings
By Maria Brown
TRI-CITY AREA
Officials with REV Group, the
parent company of Imlay
Citys Champion Bus manufacturing facility, say they
plan to take the now-private
company public to fuel future
growth.
In an interview with
BizTimes Milwaukee, REV
Group CEOTim Sullivan said
they plan to go public with
stock offerings early next year.
Other changes are underway for the specialty vehicle
manufacturer too. In early
June, the companys headquarters re-located from
Orlando to Milwaukee.
Sullivan said the move put top

leadership in closer proximity
to their manufacturing facilities, most of which are in the
Midwest.
Employees at the Graham
Road facility in Imlay
Township produce light and
medium duty commercial
buses under the Champion
brand name and luxury com-
mercial buses under the

Federal Coach brand.
Champion
Bus
and
Federal Coach and the Krystal
brand were acquired by Allied
Speciality Vehicles (ASV) in
August 2013 from Thor
Industries.
In November 2014, ASV
announced the rollout of its
new corporate name and identity, REV Group Inc.
REV owns 26 vehicle
brands, producing more than
20,000 vehicles per year.

Attica
Supervisor race is on in Attica Twp.

By Maria Brown
ATTICA TWP.
Come August 2, voters will
have two Republicans to
choose from for the township supervisor race, incumbent Al Ochadleus and challenger Shaun Baker.
It is the only contested
race at the township level
with all other incumbent
office holders due to earn
another four-year term.
Ochadleus has held the
supervisors job since 1998,
completing a partial term
before going on to earn four
more terms.
I still enjoy doing the
job and Ithink I bring a lot
to to the table, he said of
his decision to seek another
four years.
Ochadleus said he contemplated stepping down

but thought about what he
would miss and feels theres
more to do to build on the
legacy set by previous
boards.
The board works really
well together, he added.
He spent 34 years in the
business realm, serving as
plant manger for several
years at the Imlay City
Vlasic location while a manufacturing executive with
Campbells Soup.
Among recent accomplishments are improvements made at the township
park, including the installation of a new playscape and
the purchase of a 15 acre
parcel adjacent to the property for future use.
When residents took part
in a visioning session related to the townships Master

Plan ten years ago, he said
the board heeded suggestions for more recreational
activities and have worked
on adding more attractions
to the Peppermill Road site.
Ochadleus said that
through his 18 year career
hes always worked at applying the rules and ordinances
in a fair manner.
Shaun Baker is a 36 year
resident of Attica Township.
Hes employed with a sawmill operation in Imlay City.
Baker said he threw his
hat in the ring because he
believes its time for a
change. Hed also like to
work on making Attica Days
a bigger and better community festival. The event is
held every two years on

Popular musician to play at festival

By Tom Wearing
IMLAYCITY As a
prelude to her upcoming
performance at the Blueberry
Festival, Michigan-based
country singer Allie Louise
dazzled the audience at last
Tuesdays (July 12) concert
at Lamb-Steele Park.
Joined by a five-piece
band comprised of accomplished musicians and backup vocalists, the 16-year-old
singer/guitarist/songwriter
belted her way through a set
of mostly original songs.
Blessed with a powerful

voice and instrumental artistry to match, Allie demonstrated why the country
music industry has taken
notice of her talent.
While her talent is apparent, its Allies songwriting
that sets her apart from other
young performers seeking to
ascend the ladder and climb
the charts to success in
Nashville.
Her fledgling career was
given a shot in the arm a
year ago, when she launched
her debut self-titled album,
Allie Louise, on the Sixth
Beat Productions label.
Bolstered by her original

single, Its Gettin Old, the
album was produced by
Doug Kahan and seven-time
Grammy Award winner,
John Jaszcz, at Blackbird
Studios in Nashville.
Born in Ohio, Allie
moved to Rochester Hills,
Michigan, with her family at
the age of four.
With the support and
encouragement of her older
siblings, who are also musically inclined, Allie was
introduced to the piano at
five years old.
It wasnt long before she
picked up the guitar and
began singing, giving rise to

a budding musical career.
Because of her youth
and innate talent, some have
likened her to other popular
country songstresses ranging from Brenda Lee and
Patsy Cline to Leann Rimes
and Carrie Underwood.
Blueberry Fest on tap
Allies local fans will
have yet another chance to
hear her sing and play on
Saturday, July 23, when she
takes the main stage at the
2016 Blueberry Festival.
The show runs from 5:308:30 p.m.
Allie Louise to perform on the main stage at 5:30 p.m. Saturday
Allie Louise belts out an original song during the

July 12th Concert in the Park in Imlay City. The
singer will perform at the Blueberry Festival on
Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
