ST. CLAIR COUNTY
— The sheriff’s depart-
ment reports that their
Drug Task Force (DTF)
was busy in 2017, thanks
to a larger budget.
According to a press
release, the DTF made 300
arrests, resulting in 389
felony and 161 misde-
meanor charges. They also
confiscated a total of 74
firearms.
“We are very thankful
for those that voted to pass
the increased millage for
the Drug Task Force,” said
Sheriff Tim Donnellon. zures increased by 74 per-
“We have been able to
essentially double to num-
ber of officers on the
streets, which means more
arrests and more illicit
drugs being taken out of
our community.”
County voters
approved the millage
increase in 2016. Since
1984, the task force had
been funded by a .28 mill
levy. In 2016, voters gave
the okay to double that
amount to .56.
In 2017, the DTF

The county completed a major road and bridge projects in Imlay Township last year and they plan

Winter costs will impact road projects
By Maria Brown

LAPEER COUNTY
— As is usually the case,
winter conditions will
impact just how much sum-

According to Rick

LAPEER COUNTY
— County commissioners
were able to formally meet
one of the newest members
of the sheriff’s department
on Thursday. K9 officer
Axel and his handler,
Frank Ruzicka, attended
the commission’s meeting.
“We’ve gotten a lot of
good feedback on Axel,”
Undersheriff Jeremy Howe
told the commission.
“He’s great to have in
the office too.”
Axel has been called in
to help with numerous
incidents since he started
on the job last summer. He
found methamphetamine
and a handgun in a vehicle
early on in his career.
Recently he located sus-
pected crack cocaine and
tracked suspects who broke
into homes and cars.
The department was
able to acquire the 2 year-
old German Shepherd with
a $20,000 grant from the
state of Michigan. The cost
of Axel and his training
totalled $11,500 and
$8,5000 was designated to
purchase equipment and
for vet and feeding costs.

LAPEER COUNTY
— The Lapeer County

During a special meet-

ALMONT TWP. —
Local police agencies
were able to avert a poten-

the 8600 block of Hollow
Corners Rd. on Tuesday,
Jan. 23.
Almont Police Chief
Andrew Martin said offi-
cers were dispatched to
the scene around midnight
following a 911 report of
a possibly suicidal man.
First on the scene
were Almont Officer
Michael Ryan and Dryden
Officer Jason Jenkins who
attempted to make verbal
contact with the 50-year-
old subject.
Martin said the man
refused to come to the
door and made a further
statement about his intent
to take his own life and
threatened to shoot the
responding officers.

Tippen noted that
Adams had proved his

“We were familiar

police called in Lapeer
County’s SRT (Special

made several requests
urging the subject to exit
the home.
More than three hours
into the standoff, SRT
members deployed a robot
which found the subject to
be unconscious on the
floor.
Martin said the man
was taken into protective
custody at around 3:17
a.m. and was transported
to a hospital by Lapeer

Martin added that for-

ended without injury to
officers or the subject.
He said Almont Police
were assisted at the scene
by Dryden and Imlay City

He also acknowledged
the participation and

Mussey Twp. considers options
on medical marijuana facilities
By Maria Brown
mbrown@pageone-inc.com
MUSSEY TWP. —
The township board is due
to discuss the possibility of
opting in to the Medical
Marijuana Facilities
Licensing Act (MMFLA)
at their February meeting.
When the board meets
on Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m.,
they’ll get the chance to
look over ordinances
reviewed this month by the
planning commission.
At their January 23
MSP asks drivers to “take it slow”
TRI-CITY AREA —
The Michigan State Police
are asking motorists to take
their time when driving to
destinations across Lower
Michigan due to potentially
hazardous road conditions
created by recent snowfall
and cold temperatures.
Motorists are reminded
to take extra precautions
when stopping and turning.
Remember to do all of your
braking before the turn is
made and take the proper
line of travel through the
turn to reduce the potential
for skidding. If your vehi-
cle begins to skid, let off
the throttle and brakes and
turn the front tires in the
direction you want to go.
“Although plow trucks
are continuously removing
snow, road conditions can
quickly change for the
worse in this type of weath-
er,” said Capt. Chris A.
Kelenske, Deputy State
Green lights on plow trucks get noticed
Drivers appreciate improved visibility on winter roads
TRI-CITY AREA —
Where are the plow trucks?
With more widespread use

state and local winter main-
tenance vehicles, Michigan
drivers can spot them more
easily, even during white-
out conditions.
In this second winter
since the Michigan
Legislature passed a bill
allowing public mainte-
nance vehicles to use flash-
ing green lights in addition
to the traditional flashing
yellow, city public works
departments, county road
commissions, and the
Michigan Department of
Transportation (MDOT)
have been outfitting plow
trucks with the more visible
beacons.
Dr. Bernie Tekiele of
the Michigan Eye Institute,
who appears in a video on
meeting, the planning com-
mission reviewed two sam-
ple ordinances supplied by
the township planner, Chris
Khorey—one each for opt-
ing in or opting out.
Township officials said
they have been approached
by one person expressing
interest in obtaining a
license from the state.
That same night, the
Capac Planning
Commission is due to meet
and resume their discus-
sions over a proposed zon-
ing ordinance that would

Safe winter driving
tips:
•Check the weather
before leaving for a desti-
nation. If the weather fore-
cast looks dangerous,
reschedule or postpone the
driving trip, if possible.
•DO NOT crowd snow-
plows. Give snowplow
drivers plenty of room to
clear snow from the roads.
•Keep tires at the vehi-
cle manufacturer’s recom-
mended pressure and rou-
tinely check tire pressure
during cold weather.

says of the new lights, “Our
visual system would be
more attracted to a bright
green light versus a bright
white flashing light in a
heavy snowstorm.”
The County Road
Association of Michigan
(CRA) reports that 70 per-
cent of Michigan’s 83
county road agencies used
the flashing green lights on
all or part of their fleets last
winter, a number that has
since expanded, and MDOT
now has them on more than
200 of its 300 winter main-
tenance vehicles.
“While we heard some
initial concerns that the
new lights would be con-
fused with green lights on
traffic signals, in reality
they would be difficult to
confuse with each other,”

yet. Sometime in February,
the council is due to see a

•Make sure the wind-
shield solvent reservoir is
full and check the condition
of all wiper blades and
replace when necessary.
•Wash your vehicle for
better visibility to other
drivers. Remove ice and
snow from all lights, win-
dows and license plate
before driving.
•Periodically check all
lights and replace when
necessary.
•Keep an emergency
preparedness kit in your
vehicle stocked with batter-
ies, battery powered or
hand-crank radio, flash-
light, windshield scraper,
jumper cables, shovel,
blankets, first aid kit, non-
perishable food and bottled
water in the event you get

“Now we hear more
and more often from driv-
ers how much more visible
these lights are, particularly
in blowing snow with
reduced visibility.”
“Driver education has
been a very important piece
of green light implementa-
tion, as drivers weren’t
expecting this light,” said
CRA Director Denise
Donohue.
“County road agencies
did lots of interviews, and
put green-light trucks in
local Christmas parades
and on their social media
feeds, which has helped.”

cautions that private plow
operators are not autho-
rized to use the green
lights.
MDOT plans to have
all of its winter mainte-
nance vehicles equipped
with green lights by the
beginning of next winter.
The cost to convert lights is
less than $100 per truck,
and green lights are now
specified in any new plow
trucks purchased.
Studies suggest that
humans can differentiate
more shades of green than
any other color, and are
more sensitive to the green/
yellow part of the light
spectrum. Better visibility
with green lights means
safer roads for winter

now since Ken Dal-
ton of Lum, walked
into our office and
politely but sternly
said, “I think it’s
time for Michigan to offer
a pheasant hunting pro-
gram that recruits young
hunters into the world of
the outdoors!”
He carried with him
piles of news clippings and
reports on pheasants and
pheasant hunting.
Simply put, Ken wants
sportsmen, young or old,
to have the opportunity to
hunt pheasants either once
again or for the very first
time.
Ken is soft spoken but
serious, he meant what he
said. And he continues his
mission to make it happen.
In the past year he has spo-

Sell your home for only 3% commission
Alex,
Last week your arti-

for only 3% commission.
How are you able to
charge only 3% while my
last agent charged me
double that?
— S.L., Almont
S.L., I know this new
commission structure we
are promoting of only 3%
is rather shocking to many
people. However, we can
do this due to market effi-
ciencies combined with
rethinking the business
model of real estate sales. I
started my company
RealtyVolution.com as a
full service internet broker-
age based on lower com-
missions due to lower
costs. The internet has
changed the way business
is done from nearly 20
years ago when I first start-
ed selling real estate. At
that time, buyers had very
few ways of seeing which
homes were for sale. They
had to have an agent do
much of the research to
find which homes interest-
ed them. I used to have cli-
ents pile in my car to drive
them around to view 20
homes almost every week-
end. Often without finding
one that suited them. I had
a significant amount of
time invested in each cli-
ent. Marketing a seller’s
home meant buying expen-
sive ads in local papers and
homes books each week as

well as maintaining a phys-
ical commercial building
and all those costs associat-
ed with it. All of those
methods are highly ineffi-
cient. Now fast forward to
2018 and the internet does
much of that work for me.
I can market your home at
a very low cost due to the
internet and do so 24 hours
a day to buyers all over the
world. A physical office is
overrated and outdated in
the mobile world of real
estate sales. On the buying
side, buyers now research
the homes they are interest-
ed in on their own. They
often narrow their choices
down long before even
contacting an agent to view
the home. I no longer need
to spend my weekends
driving buyers around to
look at homes they don’t
like. The internet has made
everything less expensive.
Why not real estate com-
missions? One of biggest
reasons is due to the seller
bearing the entire burden of
the cost of the transaction.

their own realtor and the
buyers realtor, then the cost
of those services will natu-
rally be double what they
could be. My business
model is founded on letting
the buyer bear just some of
the burden of their agent’s
services or they can use
me, as the listing agent, for
free. The way I look at it is
this, if they choose to hire
their own agent, then they
should bear at least some
of the cost of that choice. If
you were getting sued you
would pay for your attor-
ney only, not the attorney
representing the person
suing you. It should be the
same way in real estate.
Our 3% fee is split and
offered out to the other
agent who brings the buyer
and the remaining is
retained as our fee. If the
split they receive is not
enough to satisfy the buyer
agent then they can ask
their client(the buyer) to
pay them the difference.
You only pay 3% either
way and other agents still
have an incentive to bring
the buyer to the table. I
hope this helps explain our
new business model.

Thanks to her persever-

including home health, pri-

home, the agency offers
hospice care within homes.
“All of our volumes
are the highest they’ve
been in a long time,”
Karen said.
That includes the hos-
pice home. At times there
is a waiting list.

“We’re wanting to be

Almont Schools has an

since the start of the reces-

Unexpected costs
Schools Supt. Dr. Bill
Kalmar explained there are
many reasons why the dis-
trict is concerned about the
current financial situation
— including some recent
costs incurred that could
not have been foreseen.
He alluded to three
electrical power surges
over the summer that
caused significant damage
to vital school equipment,
including lighting, heating
and cooling units and cli-
mate boards.
The first and most
destructive incident took
place June 16, 2017, when
electrical power was lost
throughout the Village of
Almont.
Subsequent power-
related events occurred on
August 8 and August 11,
resulting in an electrical
fire and accumulated dam-
ages totaling $250,000.

Samar, editor and publisher
of Blue Water Woman

“I asked a panel of
judges from the Upper
Peninsula to review the
nominations and they told
me the selection process
was very, very difficult and
they were very impressed
with the accomplishments
of so many women in our
community.
“I’m just trying to do
good things in this world
and sometimes it pays
off,” she said.
In addition to Karen
Harris, awards will be

insurance through SetSet,
however the policy’s cov-
erage is limited to $25,000
per incident, leaving
Almont Schools with a
$175,000 balance.
“We were fortunate
that no students were in
school at the time of these
events,” said Kalmar. “But
now we’re still left with
having to make up that
$175,000.”
He said school officials
met with representatives
from DTE Energy in
December, hoping some
form of compensation
might be available to the
district through the utility
provider. “We still plan to
continue to redress our
concerns with DTE,”
Kalmar said.
Meanwhile, the district
is considering various
strategies to pay the
$175,000 cost. School
board members are concur-
rently looking at ways to
prevent similar events from
happening in the future,
though implementing such
measures would also be
expensive.
Kalmar said the district
has the option of accessing
money from the voter
approved “sinking fund,”
which is expected to raise
$240,000 to $280,000 for
the next seven years.
“This would be a legal
use of those funds,” he
said. “But to use them for
this purpose would not be
consistent with what dis-
trict residents voted for
when it was approved.”
Kalmar said the sink-
ing fund money has
already been used to pay
for the new metal roof at
Orchard Primary School,
repairs to service drives
and to provide more secure
entranceways at all
schools.

“but there may be no alter-
native solution.”
Kalmar added that
there are sometimes unin-
tended costs associated
with the district’s mission
to continue to provide
Almont students with the
best possible educational
opportunities.
As an example, Kalmar
said “dual enrollment,”
while popular with many
students and parents, can
actually have financial
drawbacks for the school
district.
Kalmar said increasing
numbers of high school
students are taking advan-
tage of the dual enrollment
opportunities.
However, the cost of
providing students with
dual enrollment opportuni-
ties has risen to about
$100,000 per year.
“There’s no doubt dual
enrollment is a good
thing,” said Kalmar, “but it
makes it difficult for us to
maintain the size of our
faculty. We’re having to
make adjustments.
Having the support of a
local community willing to
invest in their future can
make what seems impossi-
ble, possible.
The LCCF manages 63

Donnellon said he
expects the number of
arrests and drug seizures to
increase in 2018.
“With dual enrollment,
we have 168 fewer class-
room hours,” he continued.
“Some classes have been
reduced to 16 or 17 stu-
dents, and six sections of
science have fewer than 25
students.”
To further illustrate the
dilemma, Kalmar said that
even when classrooms are
half-full, the cost to run
them remains the same.
Now for the good news
While budgetary chal-
lenges and eventual solu-
tions lay ahead, Kalmar is
confident that the future
bodes well for Almont
Schools and its students.
Kalmar noted that
Almont students tend to

This is music to Ken’s

“The USFWS report

The fishing stats are

efforts geared toward fish-

successful in part thanks
to the Dingel-Johnson Act,

is an issue to try to build a
pheasant raise and release
program then let’s look at
a gas tax, Pittman-Rob-
ertson money, royalties
from timber sales or a new
license.”

year, Ken got his hands
on a memorandum from
the U.S. Department of
the Interior, Fish and
Wildlife Service Director
James Kurth to Regional
Directors. The subject of
the memorandum was the
eligibility of State Grant
Projects for the stocking of
pen-raised birds under the
Pittman-Robertson Wild-
life Restoration Act.
It reads: “The purpose
of this memorandum is to
clarify the eligibility of
State project proposals to
fund the stocking of pen-
raised birds, in further-
ance of initiatives focused
on hunting and shooting
sports recruitment, reten-
tion and reactivation (R3)
under the Wildlife Restora-
tion Grant Program. The
Service has determined; as
described below, that these
projects are eligible for
funding under the Basic
and Enhanced Hunter
Education and Safety
Program so long as the
project proposals have an
evaluation component to
determine effectiveness in
meeting the R3 objectives,
and otherwise meet all of
the relevant statutory and
regulatory requirements
necessary for approval.
The Wildlife Resto-
ration Grant program,
authorized by the Pittman-
Robertson Act of 1937,
has proven to be one of the
most successful programs
to restore and maintain
wildlife populations. In
2017, more than $780 mil-
lion has been apportioned
to the States and Territo-
ries to fund Wildlife Resto-
ration grant activities.
There are still many
hoops to jump through
yet for pen-raised birds

grams. But now there is
hope and greater flexibility
in funding these programs
in our state. First and
foremost is designing and
submitting proposals re-
garding the use of Wildlife
Restoration grant funds for
pen-raised birds.
The memorandum
goes on to explain; “If
a state project proposal
reasonably justifies how
its pen-raised bird pro-
gram will further the
recruitment, retention and
reactivation of hunters
and has an evaluation
component to determine
the effectiveness of the
program to meet these
objectives, and all
other aspects of the pro-
posal meet the standards
of the Wildlife Restoration
Act and its implementing
regulations, then the Re-
gional Director may con-
sider the project eligible
for funding under the
Hunter Education and
Safety Programs.
I’m told as this maga-
zine was going to press
that Ken and his fellow
pheasant hunting enthu-
siasts are putting such
a proposal together to
present for funding. Ken
and the other members
of the Michigan Pheasant
Hunting Initiative ask for
your support. It appears
there are proposals to be
written and grants to be
sought.

810-358-9372 and if you
are interested he encour-
ages and welcomes your
call. Visit their website at:

IMLAY CITY — The Conversation Salon invites
guests to their February 7 event at the Mulefoot
Gastropub when Thomas Fischer, a Wayne State
University professor, discusses “Why your Brain likes
Alcohol: Excuses from a Neuroscientist,” starting at 7
p.m.
Fischer is an associate professor in the Behavioral
and Cognitive Neuroscience area of the Wayne State
University Department of Psychology. His research
interests are in the field of brain plasticity, especially
how experiences that create memories change com-
munication between neurons. He teaches courses
ranging from basic psychology to behavioral neuro-
science and neural and synaptic plasticity.
Alcohol is the oldest and most widely used drug
in the world. In his talk, Fischer will explore how
alcohol effects the brain, and why humans (and some
animals!) are attracted to using it. In the process,
guests will learn something about psychology, some-
thing about the workings of the brain, and why that
glass of wine after a tough day makes you feel so
good.

Dryden alumni tops Almont, 95-67
Game raises $1,600 for basketball program
By Kevin Kissane
Tri-City Times Sports Editor
DRYDEN — The
Fourth Annual Dryden
Basketball Alumni Classic
was contested last Saturday
night at Dryden High
School and was touted a
huge success by all that
turned out.
“We changed it up a bit
by playing Almont,”
Dryden varsity basketball
coach and event organizer
John DelCampo said. “We
added a few contests this
year and made it even more
fun,” he noted.
There were a total of 29
players that participated, 15
from Dryden and 14 hailing
from Almont.
When the final scores
were added up, Dryden pre-
vailed via a 95-67 outcome.
Since it was a fundrais-
er for the basketball pro-
gram, current varsity and
junior varsity players
worked the event in some
capacity.
“I got my first experi-
ence as an announcer,”
Dryden varsity player Jared
Czape said.
The competitive fire in
the former players also was
evident from the opening
tipoff.
“You knew it would
happen,” 1997 Dryden
High School graduate Dave
Reynolds said. “It was
