IMLAY CITY — If all
goes according to plan,
youngsters and their fami-
lies will have an opportu-
nity to “jump for joy” at
the new ‘JUMP City’ fami-
ly fun center coming to the
Belle Valley Plaza.
In late May, Imlay City
Planning Commissioners
approved a special land
use permit as the precursor
to the creation of a “family
fun center” at Belle Valley
Plaza site.
The new business con-
cept is being proposed by
Anthony and Ina
Gavrilovski, a Macomb
bounce house, in the
8,700-square-foot facility
last occupied by Nick’s
Warehouse.
The Gavrilovskis envi-
sion a family-friendly
environment for both chil-
dren and families to enjoy;
to include multiple large
bounce houses, obstacle
courses, slides and arcades.
Both Ina, 29, and

Kids, kindness and therapy dogs
Imlay’s Borland
Elementary hosts
Animal Kindness
Assembly, events
By Maria Brown
mbrown@pageone-inc.com
IMLAY CITY — Twenty four-
legged visitors were special guests at
Borland Elementary last week. The ther-
apy dogs and their owners visited the
school as part of an Animal Kindness
Assembly on June 10, organized by
Watch D.O.G.S. volunteer and therapy
dog owner Jason Sellards.
The visitors stopped in each class-
room where teachers and students got to
learn about the dogs and the work they
did. The entire school and their guests
then went to the school’s gym for an
assembly where students took a “We are
kind to animals” pledge.
Assisting with the event were 5th
grade student council members, fellow
Watch D.O.G.S. volunteers and Girl and
Boy Scouts.
Sellards believes it was one of the
largest therapy dog school events this
year in Michigan.
“Many of the therapy dog teams said
they’ve never seen anything like it
before,” Sellards said.
“All the teachers said we need to do
it again next year.”
In the weeks leading up to the event,
the school collected food and supply
donations for Paradise Animal Rescue.
Therapy dog teams join Jason
Sellards on stage during the June
10 assembly.

Fox, fawn encounter

mbrown@pageone-inc.com
TRI-CITY AREA — An unusual
encounter between a fox and fawn cap-
tured on camera went viral on social
media.
Since the one minute, 16 second
video was posted to the Tri-City Times
Facebook page on June 11, it’s been
viewed by more than 1 million people,
shared more than 9,000 times and gar-
nered more than 850 comments.
The incident, submitted by John
Parsch of Imlay City, shows a fox come
upon and attack a fawn hiding in tall
grass. The fawn tries to defend itself and
the fox runs away after being startled by a
knock on the window.
The fawn watches the fox run into a
nearby wooded area before the deer’s
mother appears and the two leave the
yard as well.
According to the University of

Life made perfect in weakness

“If in some way, my
faith might serve as a three-
watt night light in a very
dark world...”
T he words trailed off.
They were part of clos-
ing remarks David Powlison
(1949-2019) had prepared
for Westminster Theological
Seminary’s commencement
on May 23 of this year.
Because he was in hospice,
dying of pancreatic cancer,
he was unable to attend; but
requested that in his absence
someone else read his mes-
sage.
He died two weeks
later—on June 7—peaceful-
ly, at home, surrounded by
loved ones. These words, as
well as the rest of the
address, however, linger,
having been published on
social media. They
appeared along with his
obituary and a very interest-
ing story detailing his early
life and coming of age in
Hawaii, his study at
Harvard, and his existential-
ist world/life view before
coming to a living relation-
ship with Jesus Christ. In the
’70s, the Holy Spirit used a
more-confrontational-than-
usual conversation with his
former Harvard classmate
and longtime buddy, Bob
Kramer, as a sword to pierce
through his “self-sufficient”
armor.
Though the moment was
radical and unexpected, the
journey was long and circu-
itous. After adding seminary
at Westminster to his origi-
nal training in psychiatry
and counseling at Harvard,
Powlison for a time felt clin-
ical counseling was redun-
dant, thinking faith could
routinely take the place of
counseling. It was a wonder-
ful day when he finally rec-
ognized the value of Christ-
based clinical counseling
and became part of CCEF
(Christian Counseling and
Education Foundation,
Inc.—Google for more
information.)
In his remarks to the
2019 Westminster graduat-
ing class, he held out this
challenge: “My deepest hope
for you is that in both your
personal life and your minis-
try to others, you would be
unafraid to be publicly weak
as the doorway to the
strength of God Himself.”
So...how did all this Life
Made Perfect in Weakness
discussion come to my
attention in the first place?
The person who shared
it is my cousin Kathy’s son
Joel Hoksbergen, known to
some of you as Joe Hox,
Illustrator.
One of Joel’s original
reasons for having such
empathy for the story was
that his mother-in-law is
also dealing with pancreatic
cancer. Having worked with
Powlison on a book for chil-
dren about anxiety (Zoe’s
Hiding Place), he was
intrigued by the back story,
and sent it to me (along with
many others), via Facebook.
Joel also has first-hand
experience with God using
people in their weakness.
First off, he was the typical
Iowa farm boy. But his web
page tells how his family
pegged him as “not a farm-
er” when they saw his not-
straight rows at planting
time. As a young adult, he
contracted Lyme disease,
which

eventually
became his life work—the
doodle pad which was con-
stantly within reach during
his formative years. If
you’ve seen any of his illus-
trations (or work on an Etch-
a-Sketch) you will know that
his chosen work has him
exactly where he belongs—
using his work as a three-
watt night light in a dark
world. I could say more,
about his being exactly
where God put him, and
about me being exactly
where God put me; but here
we are again—with a too-
long Perspective!
Social Media—one of
our freedoms—freedom pre-
served by those who, in
many cases, gave their very
lives; preserved, in other
instances, by those who, like
Joel’s grandfather and my
father, lived to raise the next
generation to passionately
cling to it as a freedom—not
a birthright.
P.S. I sat on this two

Father’s Day post: Kathy
Hoksbergen (10 minutes
ago): “So thankful for our
old dad. At 97, dementia has
robbed him, and us all, of so
much. We haven’t heard him
pray for so long. But while
we were visiting him in the
nursing home, he was so
sleepy. Spontaneously, he
started praying a beautiful
bedtime prayer filled with
grace and gratitude. We
were in awe...They say
music has the most staying
power with the elderly, and
indeed it does with our dad.
But prayer was so much a
pattern of his life, that it
came forth effortlessly, even
though he can no longer
emit a full coherent sentence
in conversation. What a gift
and what a legacy.”
A friend responded:
“His mind forgets things, but
his spirit is on top of it.
Hallelujah!”

It is a pleasure and privi-

and hold a shovel to culti-

To grow into a grower, to

them germinate and
sprout into green leaves is
pure joy. There’s virtue to
gain in the process:
My grandmother

of growing seasons
grieved when she
could no longer set a
mess of pole beans and

her table.
The last summer my
family saw Granny on her
feet, she said, “I’m sorry,
but I can’t cook for y’all.”
Although I’ve never
learned to plant by the
stars and moon as Granny
did, to see an earthworm
and green shoot is good
enough success for me. I
feel like her and my
mother when I fill my
freezer with another har-
vest.
Mom left her freezer
packed with plastic bags
of pie apples. Dementia
put an end to the most
delicious fruit pie I’ve
ever tasted. Gladly, Mom
lived to see my shovel
break ground for food.
Dear Reader, my
ancestors’ affection for
God’s good Earth grows
within me. If genetics
have their way, I’ll most
likely mourn when I can
no longer cook and serve
those I love and hold dear.
And when the Lord
calls me to Heaven, my
spirit will fly to His
bosom. Below, the sexton

well as public and private
commissions.

Rep. Gary Howell honored as MTA’s Legislator of Year

TRI-CITY AREA —
The Michigan Townships
Association (MTA) recog-
nized Sen. Jim Stamas
(R-Midland Chtr. Twp.)
and Rep. Gary Howell
(R-North Branch) for their
support of township gov-
ernment by presenting them
with the MTA “Legislator
of the Year” awards. Both
Stamas and Howell
received the prestigious
award, which honors law-
makers who are instrumen-
tal in legislation impacting
township government and
who work diligently on
townships’ behalf, at the
MTA Board of Directors
meeting in Portage.
“Sen. Stamas and Rep.
Gary Howell consistently
put good public policy
before partisan politics,”
MTA Executive Director
Larry Merrill said. “Both
have gone above and
beyond to not only listen to
township input, but also
taking what they’ve heard
and using it to shape legis-
lation. Their work was
instrumental in the passage
of key bills, from assessing
reform to including town-
ship voices in the purchase
of state land.”
Now in his final Senate
term, Stamas is a former
member of the Midland
Charter Township (Midland
Co.) Board of Trustees as
well as the Midland County
Board of Commissioners.
He served three terms in the
state House of
Representatives before he
was elected to the Senate,
where he currently serves
as chair of the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
Throughout his years in
the Legislature, Stamas has
played a crucial role in
passing legislation impact-
ing townships. Last year, he
led the charge to reform
Michigan’s assessing sys-
tem, holding multiple meet-
ings with local officials
around the state, listening
to their concerns and work-
ing with MTA to craft a bill
that won MTA’s support.
He also provided the
momentum needed in the
lame duck session to pass
the extension and long-
sought-after expansion of
the pension bonding tool
for local units.
“As a former township
trustee who now represents
110 townships in the
Senate, it’s an honor to be
recognized for supporting
the important role our
townships play in the daily
lives of millions of
Michigan families,” Stamas
said. “I look forward to
continuing to work with the
Michigan Townships
Association and all their
members to improve our
local communities and the
entire state for families,
workers and job creators.”
Howell, a second-term
representative, has a rich
other local government
organizations to support
local control and provide
alternatives to local pre-
emption.
Thanks to Howell’s
tireless efforts, the
Legislature reached a reso-
lution to the long-standing
state land cap issue.
Throughout the process, he
worked to ensure that town-
ships have a voice when
state land is purchased in
their jurisdictions.
“It is a high honor to
be named legislator of the
year by the Michigan
Townships Association,”

Resources available for suicide prevention What do you think?

TRI-CITY AREA — The
Michigan Department of Health
and Human Services (MDHHS)
urges Michigan residents to
know the warning signs and
resources available to prevent
suicide. In 2017, suicide was the
second leading cause of death in
Michigan for ages 15-34.
“Learning the warning signs
of suicide can help raise aware-
ness about suicide prevention
and provide loved ones with the
proper help,” said Robert
Gordon, MDHHS director.
“Talking with family, friends
and neighbors about this impor-
tant topic is essential as we try to
get help to those who need it.”
Warning signs for those at
risk of suicide include:
•Feelings of hopelessness.
•Threatening to or talking
about wanting to hurt oneself.
•Loss of interest in activities.
•Withdrawal from friends
and family.
•Change in eating and sleep-
ing habits.

plant or the pipeline is out of service. The State will be performing an assessment of our source water. We will inform
you on how to get a copy of the assessment report when it becomes available. If you would like to know more about
this report please contact your local water department at (810)798-8528.
• Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expect-
ed to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate
that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by
calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
• Vulnerability of sub-populations: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than
the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons
who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and
infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their
health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and
other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
• Sources of drinking water: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes,
streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels over the surface of the
land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can
pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
• Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
— Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic
systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
— Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban
stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
— Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses.
— Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and
mining activities.
— Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products
of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff,
and septic systems.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain con-
taminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for
contaminants in bottled water which provide the same protection for public health.

Water Quality Data

The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2018 calendar year. The pres-
ence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise
noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 – December 31, 2018. The State allows us to
monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not
expected to vary significantly from year to year. All of the data is representative of the water quality, but some are more
than one year old.
Terms and abbreviations used below:
• Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is
no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
• Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs
are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water.
There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): means the level of a drinking water disinfectant below
which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants
to control microbial contaminants.
• N/A: Not applicable ND: not detectable at testing limit ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter ppm: parts
per million or milligrams per liter pCi/l: picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity).
• Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other
requirements that a water system must follow.

Sodium is not a regulated contaminant.

90 percent of the samples collected were at or below the level reported for our water.

Information about lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for
pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated
with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Almont is responsible for providing high quality drinking water,
but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several
hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using
water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested.
Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from
the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Monitoring and Reporting to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Requirements: The State of
Michigan and the U.S. EPA require us to test our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. We met all the monitoring
and reporting requirements for 2018.

We will update this report annually and will keep you informed of any problems that may occur throughout the year,
as they happen. Copies are available at Village offices and published in the tri City Times and available on the Villages
web site and Facebook Page This report will not be sent to you.

thy local charity.
During those meetings,
three BWC members are
randomly selected to advo-
cate for a specific charity
of their choice. The advo-
cates are required to make
presentations, followed by
Q&A sessions from the
audience.
Following the presenta-
tions, the membership
votes for the charity and
cause they believe most
deserving of their support.
At the BWC’s most
recent gathering, Aryn
Zwierzchowski of
Birmingham-based
“Logicalis,” advocated on
behalf of the campground,
resulting in Skyline’s
selection as the beneficiary
of the organization’s gener-
osity.
The parent of two chil-
dren who camp at Skyline,
Henry said it was
Zwierzchowski’s personal
story that convinced
BWC’s membership of the
campground’s worthiness.
“I can bring my own
kids here for a week and
know they are safe and in
good hands,” said
Zwierzchowski. “The peo-
ple here always go the
extra mile for the kids.
“I have trust and confi-
dence that Matt and the
Skyline staff will make
these dollars go as far as
they can; to make the best
use of this donation.”
Following an
impromptu sing-along that
featured Henry on guitar
and about 40 special needs
Skyline campers clap and sing along with Matt Henry’s guitar and vocals
before Wednesday’s check presentation. Henry said the donation coin-
cides with the campground’s ongoing capital improvement efforts.
Barn Bash:
from page 1
“The fair board has
been great to work with.”
Things kick off with a
cornhole tournament start-
ing at 2 p.m.
Guests can stroll
through a truck and tractor
show that afternoon as
well. Semis, including
those that have participated
in relief convoys out west,
will be on display. Fahley
said local antique tractor
clubs will also put their
vintage vehicles up for
viewing. farmers and ranchers
Inflatables for kids, a
gun raffle and live and
silent auctions are also
planned.
“We’ll also have space
for local businesses and
groups to put up their own
displays,” Fahley added.
A BBQ style dinner
will be served at 5 p.m.
and then it’s time to hear
some country tunes, cour-
tesy of the Richard Lynch
Band, starting at 7 p.m.
“Because of the layout
and space at the fair-
grounds, we’re able to
open the Barn Bash up to
the general public now,”
Fahley said.
$20 general admission
tickets allow attendees to
stroll through the grounds
and see the Richard Lynch
campers dancing and clap-
ping along, all assembled
on the grounds for the
check presentation.
Doing the honors was
BWC representative, Amy
Whipple, co-founder and
vice president of Purple
Squirrel Advisors of Troy.
Having never visited
Skyline before, Whipple
described the feeling she
had when first pulling into
the 156-acre grounds
Wednesday morning.
“This is truly a beauti-
ful and magical place,”
Whipple opined. “I could
feel it when we pulled in.
“This is a truly
beautiful and
magical
place...
I’m feeling
uplifted to be
here as a
guest.”
--Amy Whipple
I’m feeling uplifted to be
here as a guest.
“And there are a lot of
beautiful people,” she con-
tinued. “To be with all of
you this morning has been
a perfect way to start my
day.”
After thanking
Whipple and 100
Businesses Who Care for
their kindness and generos-
ity, Henry outlined more
specifically how the money
will be used.
“This donation is a
huge boost for us,” said
Band perform.
Tickets that include
dinner service are $40 per
person. There are a limited
number of dinner tickets
available.
Tickets can be bought
in advance through the
group’s website, www.
agcommunityrelief.com or
at the gate on the day of
the Bash.
Proceeds from the Barn
Bash will be directed to Ag
Community Relief’s gener-
al fund and help cover
costs for fuel and other
supplies when convoy
groups deliver donations to
impacted by natural disas-
ters.
In April, local volun-
teers delivered hay and
other supplies to flood-rav-
aged areas of Nebraska and
Iowa. The 501(c)3 group
was formed in 2017 Fahley
and Matt Schaller, the
group’s current president,
after deadly wildfires
swept through Oklahoma
and Kansas.
The Barn Bash will
also serve as a kick off for
the group’s second annual
Truck Raffle. Once again,
they’ve partnered with
Milnes Auto Group to sell
1,000 tickets at $100 each.
The winner will have their
choice of a four-door, die-
sel Ford or Chevy truck.
The drawing will take
Henry. “We are in the
midst of a moderate capital
improvement campaign
and these funds are much
needed.
“We’ve increased our
registration every year
since 2011, and more than
tripled our number of
campers since then,”
Henry said. “As we
increase our capacity we
need to make repairs and
improvements to accom-
modate that growth.
“We’ll be directing
these funds towards small
capital projects, like new
cabins, additional staff
housing, a new crafts facil-
ity, updating mattresses
and other projects.”
Skyline’s mission
In accordance with its
