ELBA TOWNSHIP ORDINANCE #59 MEDICAL MARIHUANA DISPENSARY ORDINANCE Section 1: Findings A. In 2008, the voters in the State of Michigan approved a referendum authorizing the medical use of marihuana for certain limited medical conditions. B. The intent of the referendum was to enable certain specified persons who comply with the registration provisions of the law to legally obtain, possess cultivate/grow, use, and distribute marihuana for medical purposes and to assist specifically registered Qualifying Patients identified in the statute without fear or criminal prosecution under limited, specific circumstances. C. Despite the specifics of the medical marihuana legislation, marihuana is still a controlled substance. Federal law prohibits marihuana use, possession, and distribution and it is a Schedule 1 drug, along with LSD and heroin. It has a potential for abuse that should be closely monitored to avoid activities that can cause a public nuisance and other conditions detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Township of Elba. Section 2: Intent It is the intent of this Ordinance to regulate dispensaries for the use of medical marihuana to the extent permissible, to protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Township of Elba. It is not the intent of this Ordinance to violate any rights protected by the Constitution of either the State of Michigan or the United States of America. The Township of Elba wants nothing in this Ordinance to be construed to allow persons to engage in conduct of marihuana use for non-medical purposes or to allow activity relating to cultivating, storing, possessing, distributing or consuming marihuana that is otherwise illegal.

In Focus: Domestic Violence
Citizen of the Year nominees sought
Local residents help solve cold case of missing mom BY NANCY R. ELLIOTT 810-452-2601 • nelliott@mihomepaper.com
LAPEER COUNTY — The impact of domestic violence is measured in pain and sadness: for the victim, for children, for society. Two area residents know it all too well. Imlay City resident Lisa Beebe and her brother Jeff Earley of Grand Blanc were just 11 and 9 years old when their mother, Amy Rose Hurst, 29, went missing in 1982 shortly after moving to Florida with her second husband, William Hurst. “When we said goodbye to our mom, we didn’t know it would be forever,” said Beebe, now 41. She and her brother remained in Michigan with their father. For 29 years, Amy’s kids were left to wonder what happened after their mom disappeared, and Hurst didn’t even bother to call the family about it. “We always knew that he did something,” said Beebe. Both Beebe and Earley have vivid recollections of fighting and abuse in the Hurst household. They can recall their mom being thrown down stairs so hard she split the footboard of a bed apart. They remember her being hit with frying pans and beer bottles. “He was just mean,” said Earley. “I can remember stuff when I was three... It was weekly.” The siblings note that their mom, rather than leave, tried to fight back. “She tried to keep up with it. She tried to defend herself,” said Earley. At 5 feet tall, weighing 100 pounds, she wasn’t much of a match. “In the back of my head I knew she was probably gone, but I didn’t want to think that,” said Earley. One day a few years ago, Earley called his then-girlfriend, now wife, Julie, and asked her to do some online
IMLAY CITY — The Imlay City Chamber of Commerce is looking for a few good people — well, one in particular actually. The chamber is taking nominations for its annual Citizen of the Year, to be presented Dec. 3 at the annual Imlay City Area Chamber of Commerce Dinner Dance. The chamber will accept nomination letters until noon Nov. 3 and then the Chamber Board of Directors will review the letters and select the recipient in mid-November. Selection, said Dana Dunlop, executive director of the Chamber, is based on “letter quality, not quantity of letters received.” Bob Muir, owner of Muir SEE NOMINEES, PAGE 6

No seatbelt nets marijuana charge LAPEER — Seatbelt use among American motorists hit an all time high at 85 percent last year, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, and if a 47year-old Clarkston man had been one of them, he wouldn’t be looking forward to an expensive

Hinsberger said he found the man in possession of a small amount of marijuana. Hinsberger cited the man with possession of marijuana and failure to wear his seatbelt, before releasing him. The suspect is due back in court at 9 a.m. Nov. 8. — Phil Foley
Birthday party ends with missing finger GOODLAND TWP. — A North Blacks Corners woman had a 21st birthday she’s not likely to soon forget.

Gary Parsons said, “drinking was involved.” According to reports, the argument started out verbal in the house and spilled out into the garage, where it
became physical, ending with the Imlay City man reportedly biting off the Goodland Township man’s left index finger. The victim, said Parsons, then ordered the Imlay City man to leave and he did.

The big winners on the line were Chicago, with a 21 percent increase in riders; Dowagiac, up 36 percent; and Port Huron, up 26.2 percent. “This past year marks the highest ridership totals ever on Amtrak services in Michigan,” said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. “All three lines, especially the Blue Water, have made great gains, despite the slowdowns on the Pontiac/Detroit-Chicago corridor. We’ve taken steps to repair the track between Kalamazoo and Ypsilanti, so that will help bring speeds back to what customers expect.” Amtrak operates the

Blue Water and Pere Marquette services under a contract with the Michigan Dept. of Transportation (MDOT). At this time, Amtrak does not receive any direct state support for the Wolverine service. Michigan is one of 15 states that provide statesupported service. The westbound Blue Water from Port Huron leaves Lapeer daily at 6:45 a.m. and returns from Chicago at 11:09 p.m. Amtrak schedules list the trip between Lapeer and Chicago at 6 hours, 14 minutes, while Google maps pegs the same trip by car at 5 hours, 6 minutes. Amtrak’s Wolverine service, which connects Pontiac, Detroit and Chicago, continues to lead with state with 503,290 passengers for the year, but on a percentage basis it trailed the Blue Water with a 4.9 percent increase in ridership.

Gas Saving Tips Drive Sensibly Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money. Observe the Speed Limit While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.

Deer from page 1 ond only to Pennsylvania, with $342.6 million in damages from cardeer encounters. On the upside, however, Michigan drivers saw their state slip from third to fifth on the list of states where drivers are most likely to hit a deer. According to State Farm statistics, Michigan saw a 23 percent drop in deer crashes between 2009 and 2010. A State Farm spokesman said that for a fifth consecutive year West Virginia drivers lead the nation as the people (1 in 53, down, from 1 in 42 last year) most likely to hit a deer sometime during the year. Michigan ranked behind Iowa, South Dakota and Pennsylvania with one in 90 drivers banging Bambi with a vehicle last year. They left 1,277 people injured and 11 more dead. October through December remains the deadliest time of year, with 42.9 percent of all crashes taking place in the fourth quarter of the year, according to Michigan State Police Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP). An OHSP spokesman said 60.7 percent of all car-deer crashes and 72.7 percent of the fatal ones take place on dark unlighted roads. There are no shortage of those in Lapeer County, which racked up 1,321 collisions, accounting for 27 injuries, but fortunately no fatalities. However, the Lapeer County Sheriff’s Dept. noted that a 16-yearold Columbiaville girl died and four others were injured, including her
14-year-old sister, in an early morning accident involving three vehicles in Mayfield Township last March when the teen braked to avoid hitting a deer. Although deer crashes in Lapeer County were down 134 in 2010 from the year before, the county still managed to make the state’s top five list coming in behind Kent, Oakland, Jackson and Calhoun. Rounding out Michigan’s deadliest 10 were Montcalm (1,319), Genesee (1,295), Clinton (1,267), Sanilac (1,275) and Eaton (1,220). With a population nearly five times Lapeer’s, Genesee County only had 1,259 crashes last year. Huron County recorded 1,144, Tuscola County had 1,060 and St. Clair had a mere 809. One of the Sanilac County crashes ended up in Turner’s Imlay City shop. He said one of his customers was headed out of Port Sanilac when a deer bounded out in front of his vehicle. He said it “shot like a bullet” across the road, flying through the windshield of an oncoming semi, still alive. “It got pretty ugly,” said Turner. Police had to shoot the deer in the cab of the semi. The semi driver suffered serious injuries. And Turner’s customer ended up with a $5,000 bill for their insurance company. Turner said the typical car-deer crash that ends up in his shop costs about $2,500 to repair. Statewide, said a spokesman for the Michigan Deer Crash Coalition, vehicle-deer crashes cost at least $130 million per year for Michigan motorists. Rapson recently told Lapeer County Commission members that Oct. 20 and Nov. 15 are traditionally
the two busiest days for the year for car-deer crashes. He said a number of factors contribute to this. Farmers are in the fields harvesting crops; he said, male deer are in rut; and more people are in the field because Oct. 20 is the beginning of pheasant season and Nov. 15 is opening day of the firearm deer season. The MDCC has several tips for avoiding unpleasant encounters with deer: • Watch for deer especially at dawn and dusk. They are most active then, especially during the fall mating season. In spring, deer will move from cover to find food, and back to cover. Often they will feed along road rights-of-way, where grass greens up first. If you see one deer, approach cautiously, as there may be more out of sight. • Deer often travel single file, so if you see one cross a road, chances are more are nearby waiting to cross, too. When startled by an approaching vehicle, they can panic and dart out from any direction without warning. • Be alert all year long, especially on two-lane roads. • Watch for deer warning signs. They are placed at known deercrossing areas and serve as a first alert that deer may be near. • Slow down when traveling through deer-population areas. If a collision with a deer is unavoidable, the MDCC recommends: • DON’T SWERVE! • Brake firmly. • Hold onto the steering wheel with both hands. • Come to a controlled stop. • Steer your vehicle well off the roadway.
More than 2 tons of electronics recycled BY CATHY BARRINGER Staff Writer
BURNSIDE TWP. — To say that a ton of electronic trash was collected during a free recycling event hosted by the township last month would be an understatement. The township hauled in 2.5 tons of electronic items to be exact. “It far exceeded any expectations of any of us,” said Burnside Township Clerk Bonnie Koning. “A lot of the people just thanked us for the opportunity to get rid of their items.”
Koning said the Burnside Township Hall was the disposal site for used electronics on three separate days in September. She said Treasurer Charlotte Babb mentioned hosting such an event after hearing a suggestion during a Michigan Township Association meeting. According to Vintage Tech Recyclers of Romeoville, IL, the event collected a total of 44,787 pounds of electronics including 5,061 pounds of computers, 10,387 pounds of monitors, 5,736 pounds of printers, 19,654 pounds of televi-
sions, and 3,257 pounds of other electronic devices. Koning said the township is planning to have another free electronics recycling event in March 2012. Area residents who offered their time that day included: Donald Martus, Chuck Vandewarker, Ann Szulborski, Jerry Martus, Dennis Doherty, Chad Dempsey, Larry Longworth, David Koning, Daniel Koning, Charlotte Babb and Bonnie Koning. “We had some real good volunteers,” Koning added. “That was appreciated.”
Hadley designates Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month BY NANCY R. ELLIOTT 810-452-2601 • nelliott@mihomepaper.com
HADLEY TWP. — November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month in Hadley Township. At the urging of a resident who lost a loved one to the disease, township board members approved a resolution designating the month to bring awareness and promote research. The resolution cited that the disease is one of the deadliest cancers, the fourth leading cause of cancer death, without cure or significant improvements in survival rates in decades. At the same time, the resolution noted that the federal government invests significantly less money in pancreatic cancer research than other leading cancer killers. The township is making flyers available at the township offices regarding the Pancreatic Cancer Research and Education Act. In other business at the township board meeting held Oct. 11, Fire Chief Kurt Nass invited everyone to the fire department open house set for today from noon to 4 p.m. Nass also provided an update on the E911 tower. “Obviously, it’s not going in Hadley,” Nass said, referring to a failed effort to secure a church’s cooperation to locate the tower in the Hadley area, ensuring good coverage in the new E-911 system. “They’re putting up a 450-foot tower in Metamora by the post office just north of downtown,” Nass told board members. He said they’d
get about the same coverage they would have had with the tower originally planned for location in Hadley. In comparing coverage maps after the meeting, coverage in a small portion of the extreme southeast corner of the township seemed most affected. Nass noted it’s mostly state land there. It’s still a substantial improvement in coverage for the township. The planning commission agreed to the colocation of Air Advantage on the fire department tower. Supervisor Ernie Monroe said that this would facilitate better access to high speed internet in the area. He was hopeful the expanded access would occur yet this year. Four snow plow bids for a two-year contract were opened during the meeting. The bids will be input to a spreadsheet, and a contractor will be chosen at the Nov. 2 board meeting. Monroe noted that Lapeer Community Schools Superintendent Matt Wandrie had visited. He indicated that that the district is “open to talking about things.” In addition to possible further discussions on the former elementary school property, Monroe will ask the school district to donate the flag pole from the vacant school to the fire department at Chief Nass’s request. Nass said his department would handle the work if the district agrees to donate the pole. November’s board meeting will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m., as Brandon and Oxford school elections will be held on Nov. 8.

IN OUR WORDS Check one for the Right to Light folks!
Submissions are limited to 30 seconds or 75 words.
I
t has been suggested that we need to lighten up on occasion, not to take life so serious and to talk more to everyday kitchen table discussions. Such as what kind of light bulb you have in the lamp you’re reading this newspaper by. But you’ll probably rest better tonight, as we will, knowing our state government is all over this issue and been burning the midnight oil to ensure the next time you need to replace a light bulb that you have a choice when you make your next purchase. On a nearly party-line vote, the Michigan House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill that would skirt a federal phaseout of older, less efficient light bulbs and allow Michigan manufacturers to make and sell the old version of bulb in the state. State Rep. Tom McMillin, R-Rochester Hills, called the bill the “Right to Light,” bill and said that consumers should be able to choose what products they buy. Democrats in the House said the legislation flouts the state’s status and intent to be a beacon of light to attract green technology and is a fantasy because there are no businesses in Michigan who make the older variety of light bulb. The issue has become a cause for conservatives upset with the federal government telling them what kind of products they can use. Initially passed in 2007 with wide bipartisan support, the U.S. House unsuccessfully tried to repeal the act earlier this year. Texas lawmakers passed similar legislation in June. The Michigan bill passed Thursday on a 62-46 vote. The federal phaseout of traditional light bulbs begins with a prohibition on 100-watt models in January and concludes in January 2014 with bans on 40- to 60-watt bulbs. The Michigan ban gets around the federal mandate because if any Michigan business decides to make the bulbs, they can only be sold in the state. Not surprisingly The Sierra Club bemoaned the vote, calling it an environmental step backward. That seems a little over the top, yet it seems the legislature should not knowingly make Michigan less efficient and use more electricity that ultimately would cost ratepayers more in the form of higher electric utility bills. The United States still has no national energy plan and while Democrats and Republicans continue to squabble about where we can drill for oil and natural gas, it hardly seems intrusive to require consumers to purchase the most energy-efficient bulb available. The Right to Light bill now moves to the state Senate for consideration.
We can’t make this stuff up! his time of year many people like to share their stories of the hunt, and we think this one bears T repeating. Last week a hunter said he thought an aggressive owl was to blame for leaving him with a bloodied eye. A Hillsdale County man told the local newspaper that he was in a tree stand while hunting when a screech owl apparently attacked him. The 30-year-old said he felt something slam into his head and moments later spotted the owl nearby. Not to be deterred he hunted for another few hours, though after he realized that his eye was bloodied he sought medical treatment. Fortunately he hasn’t lost any vision and is expected to make a full recovery. A local naturalist said the owl may have attacked in a “territorial dispute.” So while it’s important to wear hunter orange and be familiar with the area one is hunting in, it sounds like it might be a good idea to keep at least one eye on alert for an aerial attack. Hunting can be dangerous.

System is broken
IN YOUR WORDS “Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.”
The House Majority Leader should be concerned about the “mobs” in the streets. I’m one of “those people” that is tired of not being listened to in this country by our politicians, and I’m including President Obama too. He has been a huge let down, but I don’t see much of an alternative in the lot of Republicans that are running for president. This country faces real leadership issues right now for sure, but to call people who oppose the status quo as “mobs” is another example of how our system is broken. Aaron Gardner Lapeer
A job is a job Too imperialistic I read Sen. Levin’s guest editorial to the people titled “We can reduce the deficit and protect the middle class.” So the only way we can get out of this “government-induced” mess is by letting government raise taxes? I thought the best way to balance the budget was to cut government spending. He says his seven point plan will require “sacrifice,” not himself, the rest of Congress, and all illegals from wherever, who reside in this country. Maybe a good way to generate more revenue might be for government to stop trying to run big and small businesses out of business, and stop using our great American military, Social Security, Medicare and healthcare a leverage. How about those in Congress pay for their own comforts instead of handing the taxpayers the bill. I do hope the Senator included Congress in those “unjustified” loopholes he talked about. From what I see, and I don’t believe I’m wrong. Senator Levin has presented “We the People” with government’s idea of the “price of freedom” just for living in our own country, which is more taxes. For as long as government has been raising taxes on us, we should not be in this mess. This is nothing more than poor management of taxpayer moneys. I believe only by cutting taxes to the taxpayer and business will it stimulate more business. As I see it, my United States of America is becoming much too imperialistic. Our Congress is becoming just a little too domineering over “We the People.” Sen. Levin says that if we are not willing to compromise with the government, automatic cuts would then take effect as a “consequence” of our failure to agree with them, our country and its people will be less safe. Damnation! I take that as a threat, “Do as I say or we’ll (Congress) come down hard on you!” If you’re not aware, we the people are the financial control board for our United States Senate. The buck stops with “We the People.”
We are in charge of the check book. The government may consider us sheep that must be lead, but I have only one shepherd and to God almighty goes that glory, not government! No thank you, Sen. Levin. Life, liberty and the pursuit of those who are threatening it. Virginia Schell Attica
Sharing heritage The Almont Downtown Development Authority extends its sincere appreciation to the entire Almont community for supporting our Almont Heritage Festival and making it such a huge success. Through the hard work and dedication of numerous community groups and organizations, as well as individual volunteers all working together, this event was something that our community can be proud of. We were excited to partner this year with the Almont Country Heritage Color Tour, Skyline Camp and Retreat Center and the Almont Area Chamber of Commerce to showcase the entire Almont community in a weekend of celebrating our small-town rural living experience. Nancy Boxey Almont DDA Director
Making a difference We would like to thank all the many friends and family of LeRoy “Skeeter” Roberts that came out and gave of their time, money and talents to make the benefit pizza dinner at the Lapeer Eagles such a big success on Saturday, Oct. 1. And a special thanks also to the local businesses, including Springer’s Pizza, that donated so much to such a worthy cause. The generosity shown by all was not only heart warming, but well appreciated as LeRoy undergoes cancer treatment. Kelly Bretzloff Daughter of LeRoy Roberts
Making great strides Over 400 residents of Lapeer County, including 18 breast cancer survivors, joined together at the American Cancer Society Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer walk to fight breast cancer and provide hope to those whose lives have been affected by this disease. Hundreds of women, men and children from the local community united in the fight for a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays during today’s event. This fall, we are inspired by the outpouring of support that our community has demonstrated for those who are battling breast cancer. We are grateful for the tireless commitment to our mission that the community has shown as more Shiawassee County residents are finding their way to the American Cancer Society for support during their cancer journey. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is an inspiring, family friendly, noncompetitive walk, that honors breast cancer survivors, raises awareness about the disease and helps save lives. The event supports the American Cancer Society’s unique mission to help people stay well, get well, find cures and fight back. Since 1993, nearly 7 million walkers have raised more than $400 million through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. In 2010 alone, nearly 800,000 walkers across the country collected $60 million to save lives from breast cancer. The American Cancer Society and the committee of The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer wants to thank our Health Care Sponsors- Lapeer Regional Medical Center/Great Lakes Cancer Institute and Genesys Hurley Cancer Institute, and Wojo’s Greenhouse and Lapeer County Bank & Trust Co. as our Wall of Hope sponsors. Without them this event would not be possible. It’s not too late to make a donation to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Lapeer. Visit cancer.org/stridesonline to help the Society continue making strides and saving lives. For more information about breast cancer, contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800227-2345 or visit cancer.org. Kristy Cook American Cancer Society
Finally some good news. If Lapeer gets 50 new jobs that’s good for everyone. Good for the employees, for the tax space and for the emotional lift it can give our community. Even if the jobs pay $8 an hour, a job is a job now and we need every one we can get. Adam McCrea Lapeer Township
Time to feel good I’ve been a Detroit Lions fan since I was able to play the game, and I can’t remember a time when so many people are really paying attention to the Motor City. We should feel good. We build great cars, and we support winners. As long as people work hard and give it their all we can all be proud. Taylor Schremmer Imlay City
Needed a makeover Hey, things are looking good at The County Press building. At first I thought the new green color wasn’t such a good call. But I drive by your place at least twice a day and everytime I do things are looking a little better. It needed a makeover. Noah Janderski Mayfield Township
Grow thicker skin People need to grow a thicker skin. Life is tough. If they can’t deal with a little kidding and name calling how will they ever get through life? When I grew up we took care of these matters on our own and didn’t go crying to mommy whenever we got our feelings hurt. Marcus Ridley Elba Township
Make some noise I would like to know what the Occupy Wall Street people think they’re going to accomplish. At best Obama and the Republican candidates will make nice sound bites that they “feel our pain,” but will continue their own gamesmanship that has taken this country to the edge of the cliff. The same goes for here in Michigan. Maybe it’s the start to a real revolution, but right now it’s not too impressive. Unless we all gather downtown (Lapeer) and make some noise ourselves to let Daley, Pavlov and Snyder know they’re helping to undermine our communities. Heather Voelker Mayfield Township

McDonald’s reopens this week after rebuild Weigh In
Doors open Wednesday at 6 a.m.
Editor’s note:
BY PHIL FOLEY 810-452-2616 • pfoley@mihomepaper.com
LAPEER — It’s been nearly four months since McDonald’s closed its doors on South Main Street and the lines grew at the restaurant’s East Genesee Street location. Gani Bardha, the West Bloomfield businessman who owns the McDonald’s locations in Imlay City and Capac in addition to the two Lapeer stores, is planning a ribbon cutting for 3 p.m. Friday to mark the rebuilt restaurant’s grand opening. However, said Bredan Donahue, Bardha’s supervisor, the restaurant will open for business at 6 a.m. Wednesday. Diners at the rebuilt McDonald’s will find the familiar playscape gone, replaced by a turnaround that will allow motorists using the new twolane drive-up to circle the building and leave through a new easement that will allow them to exit into the Home Depot parking lot. Traffic congestion on South Main, said Donahue, has been an issue since it first opened in 1973. He said when he leaves the restaurant to go to their

The final touches are being put on the new McDonald’s restaurant on Main Street in Lapeer, four months after the previous building was demolished to make way for the new corporate prototype.
East Genesee Street location, he always turns right to DeMille Road rather than trying to turn left. Donahue said that while the playscape will be gone at the restaurant, it’s familiar centuryold elm tree won’t. He said that while McDonald’s wanted the site swept clean, Bardha felt strongly about the tree’s survival and fought successfully to have the site plan amended to
preserve the towering tree. Although the playscape is gone, Donahue said the restaurant’s footprint remains about the same, since a basement storage area was eliminated and replaced with ground floor storage. He said seating has been trimmed from 135 to 123, but wifi access has been improved. As part of their grand reopening, the restaurant will
be offering $1 McMuffin sandwiches and $1 Quarterpounders with cheese Friday through Sunday. The restaurant will present a free magic show at 2 p.m. Saturday and will offer daily specials throughout November, said Donahue. He added the new design will see the restaurant’s year-round workforce increase from 69 to 85, with an extra 20 people added in the summer months.
Pet Supplies Plus hosts pet adoption weekend at store in Kmart plaza LAPEER — Lapeer’s Pet Supply Plus store will join hundreds of other stores today in hosting a Pet Adoption Weekend. Located at 873 S Main St., in the Kmart shopping center, the store will be hosting K-9 Stray Rescue League from Oxford. Store manager Al Favenyesi said he tried to find a Lapeer County rescue organization to come to his store, but couldn’t find one willing to do it.
He said that while this is the first time his Lapeer store has participated in an adoption weekend, his Ortonville and Farmington Hills stores host monthly adoption days for local rescue groups. Favenyesi said dogs will be available for adoption from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lapeer store. He added customers will also be able to make donations to the rescue group as they check out.
The Lapeer Pet Supplies Plus will be joining other stores around the country in raising funds for more than 200 shelters. “This is a very special weekend for us,” said Pet Supplies CEO Dave Bolens. “We want all animals to have good homes, so it’s our pleasure to help match adoptable pets from rescue organizations with people who have love and attention to offer them. It’s a winning proposition for everyone.”
This week’s question: Amtrak routes in Michigan are setting new ridership records, despite freight train delays that the state and federal government are investing millions to reduce, the passenger rail service said this week. Ridership on the Blue Water line from Port Huron to Chicago, that stops in Lapeer, grew 18.6 percent to 187,065 passengers. This past year marks the highest ridership totals ever on Amtrak services in Michigan. Have you ever taken Amtrak from Lapeer?

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Officials: Take action against domestic violence Prosecutor’s office handles 250-275 cases a year BY NANCY R. ELLIOTT 810-452-2601— nelliott@mihomepaper.com
LAPEER — It could be a friend, a co-worker, a neighbor. It could be you. Victims of domestic violence are sadly all too prevalent. One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, according to the National Institute of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Physical violence, including sexual assault, is suffered by victims who pay physical, emotional and economic costs. Children who witness such violence also suffer, and become more likely to become abusers themselves, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. They cite statistics showing that one third of female homicide victims are killed by an intimate partner. In Lapeer County, Prosecuting Attorney Byron Konschuh said his office handles about 250 to 275 domestic violence cases each year. While not eradicating the problem of domestic violence, he notes that programs, services and policies in place in the county help stem the situation. “With an automatic arrest policy, if an officer goes to a scene... if there’s any evidence of violence, somebody’s going to jail. It sends a strong message,” said Konschuh. The county developed an immediate arrest policy and issuance of a no contact order in 1989 after the county experienced three domestic violence suicides. Later, a third key part of the program was added, a group batterers pro-
gram offered through local private services under a state model. “The group batterers programs seem to be very effective,” said Konschuh. First time offenders who plead to the charge may have the opportunity to participate in the program with the victim’s consent. They can earn dismissal of the charge if they successfully complete the 28week program. “Most of them deny they have any kind of problems,” said Konschuh. He noted, however, that it doesn’t take very many sessions before they eventually acknowledge the truth. Citing the cycle of abuse, apology, abuse, that goes on in domestic violence situations, Konschuh noted, “The whole thing doesn’t stop unless you take some action.” He said the best first step is to call the police. Leigh Hauxwell, Director of Victim Services, works to connect victims with agencies to meet their needs. “We try to set them up with counseling,” said Hauxwell. She also noted, “A lot of times the abusers are in control of the money.” Victims may also be isolated from family or friends. Hauxwell’s office works to put victims in contact with agencies and resources that can help. Another important resource is the Lapeer Area Citizens Against Domestic Assault. LACADA offers help to victims, providing free and confidential support services including crisis intervention, support groups, information and referrals, emergency shelter and more. They can be reached at (810) 667-4175. Their website is www.lacada.org.

Violence from page 1 blankets and tied to a concrete block. The victim had suffered blunt force trauma to the head. “He just got dead quiet on the other end of the phone,” said Julie. For Earley, there were just too many similarities, including an afghan, a green bedspread and the turquoise jewelry his mom wore. “All the hair on my arm and neck stood up,” said Earley. “To me, it felt like divine intervention from the beginning,” said Julie. Earley contacted officials in Florida, and that got the ball rolling. Florida’s Manatee County Detective Bud Johnson worked the cold case doggedly. The grown kids eventually saw pictures of the afghan, bedspread and jewelry found with

the body. “Once I saw the pictures of the afghan, I knew it was my mom,” said Earley. Beebe has a picture of herself as a child, jumping gleefully atop the green bedspread. “When I saw it, I freaked out,” said Beebe. Eventually, Earley provided a DNA sample. And finally, on July 19 this year, Det. Johnson called to confirm what the kids had already figured out. The Jane Doe found in the Gulf of Mexico, in 1982, was their mom. “I just broke down,” said Earley. Then, the investigation moved to Pasco County, Fla. where another dogged detective, Lisa Schoneman picked up the case. “She don’t play,” said Earley describing Schoneman’s careful work. Schoneman put together a meticulous investigation that culminated with the arrest of 59-year old William Hurst on September 19 in Dawson Springs, Ky. He was extradited to Florida about two weeks ago, and awaits arraignment on first-degree murder charges.. “I’ve just been praying and praying he just pleads guilty,” said Beebe. That’s because if he pleads not guilty, the fam-
ily will have to cope with another one to three years of trial proceedings. Both Earley and Beebe are adjusting to the knowledge of what happened to their mom. “It was a lot easier to say my mom was missing than murdered at the hands of her husband,” said Beebe. “We’re getting our closure in bits and pieces.” The family had a memorial service in September after receiving their mom’s cremated remains. Beebe and Earley said they wanted to bring the story forward locally to encourage victims of domestic violence. “There’s a way out,” said Beebe. “If I can make a difference in one person’s life, I’m going to keep telling the story.” “Arguments and carrying on, that’s one thing. When it gets to the point of hitting.... there’s ways out,” said Earley. “You don’t have to stay in that situation,” said Beebe. She acknowledges, “It’s a big deal to leave.” She encourages victims of abuse to access local resources like Lapeer Area Citizens Against Domestic Assault. “If I can tell my mom’s story and change somebody’s life, it's like turning a bad thing into a good thing,” said Beebe.

Children and families can look for the cardboard pumpkins to know which businesses will give them candy. “It’s wonderful to see the kids. They have a really great time,” said Mary Jo Wenzlik of the DBA. “And it’s an excellent opportunity for parents.” Wenzlik explained that the annual treat walk is designed to be a fun, safe way for families to go trick or treating during the day. The DBA is also happy to continue offering the event to the community for free. Following the treat walk, families can stick around for the Halloween Magic Show at the PIX Theatre at 2:30 p.m., featuring Baffling Bill, one of the area’s favorite and most well-known magicians. The show, which mixes some “spooky” themes and comedy along with magic tricks both large and small, is designed for both adults and small children. “It isn’t too spooky for the little ones and the older kids will really enjoy this show,” according to the PIX Theatre. Tickets to the Baffling Bill Halloween Magic Show cost $5 and can be purchased ahead of time at the PIX Box Office. Remaining tickets may be purchased at the door next Saturday. Saturday will also be the last day that the Lapeer Farmer’s Market will be open for the year. The market opens at 9 a.m. and lasts until 3 p.m. The Farmer’s Market brings in a large variety of local vendors every week including fresh produce, baked goods, flowers, crafts and antiques. Market organizers this year began accepting Michigan Bridge Cards, which helped both local residents and vendors.

Sunrise Kiwanis members help feed local hungry kids Weekend backpacks go home with nearly 200 children BY NANCY R. ELLIOTT 810-452-2601 • nelliott@mihomepaper.com
LAPEER COUNTY — Hunger is a fact of life for a significant number of families in Lapeer County. There are kids for whom missed meals and empty tummies are a reality. Lapeer’s Sunrise Kiwanis and local volunteers combat the problem by helping students and their families at two local schools through a program that is now in its sixth year. “It started out with just granola bars,” said Schickler Elementary volunteer Cindy Tuzinsky, who’s been helping out since the beginning. “Children were coming to school Monday. They were hungry,” said Cathy Schlaud, learning coach at Schickler. “We had behavior problems.” What started out as simple snacks turned into weekend meals as the Lapeer Sunrise Kiwanis got behind the issue. It’s called the Backpack Program. Kids who qualify for reduced lunches at the school can sign up to take a bagful of nutrition home with them on the weekends during the school year. The Sunrise Kiwanis fund the effort, and volunteers at Schickler and Turrill Elementary schools see to the planning, shopping, packing, and delivery of the food to their qualified students. At Schickler, 84 students take part in the backpack program out of a student population of 389. That’s 22 percent of the student body, and the numbers continue to grow. Thursday, volunteer Tuzinsky headed up a team of parent volunteers at Schickler Elementary to pack bags full of food. They do it every week. Tuzinsky heads over to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan once or twice a month to purchase the food. By shopping and planning carefully, she puts together a bag with two breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks all for less than $2 per bag. At the same time, over at Turrill Elementary, parent volunteer April Saltzgaber was filling Meier recyclable bags out of the shelves stocked by dean of students, RaeAnne Fielder. Fielder similarly makes the monthly trip to the food bank, and shops elsewhere for good buys, too. “We’re providing for one third of the students,” said Fielder of the effort at Turrill. There, 72 families participate with 109 students receiving backpacks out of a total
student population of 318. Coupled with the reduced lunch and free breakfast programs at the schools, Fielder pointed out, “For kids who qualify... we’re able to give them food seven days a week.... It’s really beneficial.... There’s just so many needs there.” During 2009, the Sunrise Kiwanis spent $5,825 to provide nutrition backpacks to 159 families with 306 students. In 2010, numbers declined with the decrease in school census, but Sunrise Kiwanis president Carol Boom said, “The ratio of students that need help has remained.” “This past year, we were able to feed the families with $2,600 in part because of the decline, but also because of FEMA foods,” said Boom. Fielder expresses concerns about rising prices, especially with the inconsistent availability of USDA foods. Kara Ross, Vice President of the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan said that in Lapeer County, 16,980 people have reported ‘food insecurity.’ That’s a United States Department of Agriculture measure of the lack of access, at times, to enough nutritionally adequate food. In Lapeer County, we have a food insecurity rate of 18.6 percent, based on the last census. The rate is higher than the national rate of 16.6 percent, according to hunger-relief charity, Feeding America.
For the food bank, which has a 22-county service area, it translates to 20 to 21 million pounds of food they’ll distribute this year. Last year, they distributed 19 million pounds of food. “We’re seeing incredible growth,” said Ross. She noted that 15 years ago, the food bank distributed just 6 million pounds of food. The backpack program is part of the effort. “The backpack has definitely been one of our best programs,” said Ross. She said that including Lapeer and nine other counties, 3,200 students in 6,400 schools in their service area take backpack food home each weekend. “It’s a good feeling because we’re helping our families,” said Schlaud of the local program. The volunteers see how important the food is to the kids and their families. They also notice the impact on self esteem as kids are able to help their families out by bringing the food home. “Think about the difference we’ve made in kids’ lives,” said Boom at a recent Sunrise Kiwanis meeting. Donations and volunteer help are always welcome towards the effort. The Sunrise Kiwanis meet every Wednesday at the Farm House Restaurant in Lapeer at 7:30 a.m. For more information, check out their website at www.sunrisekiwanis.com.

THE LIGHT TOUCH
There is another option for patients who find shots of anesthetic and the whir of a dental drill discomforting. Over a number of years, the Erbium:YAG laser has proven to be effective in removing tooth decay. Decay removal and tooth preparation with a laser doesn’t require the use of anesthesia, and it works with better precision to spare more of the healthy tooth. Patients report feeling no more than a slight tingling sensation as the Erbium:YAG laser removes tooth decay. The laser also creates a better bonding surface so that tooth-colored fillings can be expected to last longer. While a traditional drill works faster, with an Erbium:YAG laser, there is no need to wait for the anesthetic to kick in. We always strive for perfection and are only satisfied when you are. Our goal is to create an atmosphere of professionalism, trust and complete customer satisfaction. We want to provide you with the best dental care possible. Our goal is to be known as dentists who are gentle, caring, and friendly. We’re located at 1386 N. Main Street, where we use the most modern techniques and equipment. We want you to look and feel your very best. Call us at 664-2235 today for the professional attention and home care guidance that will make a difference in your oral health care regimen. P.S. Because an Erbium:YAG laser is not designed for removing old amalgam fillings and preparing teeth for crowns or bridges, a traditional drill must be used to do this work.

Eagles clinch playoff berth Lapeer team takes down Dragons 35-21 BY ERIK HOHENTHANER 810-452-2641 • ehohenthaner@mihomepaper.com
LAPEER — The Lapeer East football team clinched a playoff berth with a dominating 3521 victory over Swartz Creek on Friday. East used a strong ground game and passed only three times in the victory. The Eagles got on the board at 8:45 of the first when Gary Bulzan found the Promised Land on a 33-yard scamper. The extra-point attempt was blocked. Monta Stangler scored on a 68-yard run on the first play of the second quarter and Bulzan ran in the two-point conversion. Stangler found the endzone again at 6:18 of the second when he scored on a 35yard run and Alex Henson kicked the PAT. Swartz Creek’s Dan Murillo got the Dragons on the board at 1:24 of the second from five yards out, but East’s Ken Mullins blocked the PAT. East led 21-6 at the half. Brad LaBrie scored at 5:02 of the third quarter on a 14yard run and the PAT was good to put East up 28-6. Creek’s Mitchell Ryan scored on a one-yard plunge at 7:28 of the fourth and Max Cummings caught the twopoint conversion. Stangler

Lapeer East’s Brad LaBrie (4) follows Monta Stangler around the edge for a big gain.
RIVALS responded with a three-yard run just over a minute later and Henson added the PAT. Cummings ended the scoring with a six-yard reception from Ryan and PAT from Jackson Maxwell. East carried the ball 39 times for 382 yards and was 2of-3 through the air for eight
yards. Stangler led the attack with 20 carries for 186 yards and three scores, Bulzan rushed 15 times for 124 yards and one touchdown and LaBrie carried three times for 70 yards and a score. LaBrie led the defense with eight tackles, Anthony Herbert made seven stops and Colin McCallum had five tackles. Paul Woloszyk had six passes defended on the night. East was penalized 12 times for 120 yards on the night.
“It was a great team win,” said East coach Jake Weingartz. “The kids played hard. The offensive line opened lots of holes for our running game. We are going to have a great week of practice. We need to finish the season.” East, 6-2 overall, 5-2 Metro, travels to Linden on Friday. The Eagles will try and secure at least a tie for first place in the Metro, as they are tied with Linden, Fenton and Holly at 5-2 in the league.

West mercies Clio, eyes playoffs BY DAN NILSEN 810-452-2655 • dnilsen@mihomepaper.com
LAPEER — Lapeer West snapped out of a two-week losing streak and fired up its football playoff hopes Friday night with a 35-0 mercy-killing of Clio at Fitzpatrick Field. Hunter Sharrad passed for three touchdowns and Zeshawn JonesParker caught two of them as the Panthers improved to 4-3 in the Metro League and 5-3 overall. They can clinch a playoff berth next Friday in their season finale at Kearsley. West had scored just seven points in its previous two games to see its league title hopes all but vanish. But the Panthers put that behind them and took care of business Friday. “We had a little extra spark tonight that we haven’t played
with,” said West coach Mike Smith. “We played with good energy, got the running game going, hit some big passes and played good defense. I really hope it’s something we can build from and get going again.” The Panthers piled up 274 total yards, held Clio to 80 net yards and triggered a running clock just 3:43 into the second half. Sharrard was 5-of-9 passing for 122 yards and opened the scoring with a 34-yard touchdown toss to Jones-Parker with 6:43 left in the first quarter. Kyle Swailes kicked the first of his five extra points for a 7-0 lead. Sharrard snuck one yard for the next score with 2:50 left in the quarter, then hit Swailes with an eightyard scoring pass at 10:52 of the second period. Christopher Melton ran it in from the seven-yard line at the 8:28 mark for a 28-0 halftime lead. Sharrard
BROWN CITY — With a record of 4-3 overall and just two games left in the regular season, the Green Devils varsity football team had the good fortune of finishing out its 2011 schedule at home. Considering it takes six wins to gaurantee a spot in the Michigan High School Athletic Association playoffs and Greater Thumb Conference-East heavyweight Marlette was in town last Friday, nothing was guaranteed, though, a challenge Brown City managed to parlay into a 48-12 victory. After taking leads of 186 and 24-12 at the end of the first and second quarters, the difference for the Green Devils was the second half, where it outscored the Red Raiders, 24-0, to help lock
GTCEast down the win. Making the game’s first statement for Brown City was Nathan Primeau with a 65-yard touchdown run that Cody Laroque followed with scoring jaunts of 25 and one yards, respectively. That set the stage for a second session that saw Nathan Primeau reach the endzone yet again, this time from 15-yards out, only to see Marlette’s Donnie Thomas answer back with a 45-yard pass from Kolby Lange to close out the quarter. Next up for the Brown City offense was Jacob Primeau with a five-yard run that doubled as the SEE DEVILS, PAGE 2

Devils from page 1 only score of the third quarter, allowing Laroque and Nathan Primeau to close out the game’s offensive efforts with final-stanza touchdown jaunts of 10 and four yards, respectively. For the game, the Green Devils racked up 389 rushing yards on 51 carries and quarterback Ryan Spokaeski completed 4-of-5 pass attempts for 89 yards, equating to 16 first downs despite nine penalties for 45 yards. Heading up this bonanza for Brown City was Nathan Primeau with an impressive 238 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries, Laroque ran the ball five times for 51 yards and two scores and clocking seven rushes for 42 yards was Jacob Primeau. Spokaeski also got in on the run game for the Green Devils with five carries for 51 yards. On the other side of the ball,
ALGONAC— The Almont Raiders improved to 7-1 on the season with a 28-0 win at Algonac on Friday. Coming into the game, the Raiders were tied for sixth place in the Div. 5 state rankings, and can only improve their ranking with the win. Almont clinched a spot in the state playoffs after their win over Imlay City last week. Details of this week’s game were not reported by our deadline, despite multiple calls. The Raiders will wrap up the regular season next week against Ovid-Elsie.
Brown City got a monster defensive effort from Jacob Primeau with eight tackles, Andrew Knox and Laroque had seven defensive stops each and coming through with five tackles apiece were Dan Lindsay and Charles Baird. “Our offensive line of Knox, Brandon Angerbrandt, Lindsay, Lex Wiles, Dalton Natke, Evan VanBuskirk and Tyler Banks played a fantastic game,” said coach Scott Banks. “They controlled the line of scrimmage offensively and opened some good holes for our backs to run through. This was a big win for our kids after the past couple of weeks. We’ve got some work left next week with Memphis to secure a playoff spot, but I think our kids will be ready.” As for Marlette, it was able to gain 118 rushing yards on 25 carries and completed 7-of-13 passes for 99 yards and four first downs. Brown City, 5-3 overall, 2-3 GTC-East, hosts Memphis on Friday. Marlette, 6-2 overall, 3-2 GTCEast, finishes the year against Peck on Friday.

North Branch’s Trevor Marceau intercepted Bridgeport for a 98 yard reception that he took in for a touchdown.
Broncos move one step closer with win over Bridgeport LISA PAINE 810-452-2626 • lpaine@mihomepaper. com
NORTH BRANCH — The Broncos moved one step closer to a winning season with a solid 50-12 win over Bridgeport at home last Friday. One more win next Friday against Yale logs a 5-4 season for the squad and puts it on the slippery playoff bubble with all the other 5-4 teams in the state. Ethan Hufaker lit up the scoreboard with the game’s first score in the first quarter on a fouryard run, but Jacob Pacek’s kick failed. Bridgeport answered with a 24-yard pass play, and its kick also failed. Jakob Bonner connected with Trevor Marceau for a 37-yard score, but the ensuing conversion attempt failed. Doug Stikeleather then scored on a 13-yard jag and Pacek’s kick missed the mark once again. Marceau then brought the fans to their feet when he picked off Bridgeport for a 98-yard interception and ran it to the crib. Ian
TVCEast McNulty’s ensuing kick failed. Bonner then hit Garrett Bradley for a sixyard pass and Pacek solved the riddle that had dogged him. Cody Bader scored in the third on a short fouryarder, and once again the kick failed, with Pacek missing the kick. Bridgeport then scored on a 26 yard pass, but its conversion attempt was stopped. Hufaker scored in the fourth on a five yard run, and this time Pacek booted it through the uprights. Marceau then electrified the crowd once more as time expired, picking up an 85-yard interception, making it to the 15 before pitching it to Hufaker, who finished out the run for the score. Bonner was just 2-of-6 on the night, but he took care of business playing
what coach Pat Forster called a solid game defensively, playing a little outside linebacker and picking up four or five tackles once the stops are confirmed from the stat sheets. Bonner made nine carries for 56 yards, while Stikeleather made three for 100 yards and one score. Bader made six carries for 81 yards and one touchdown. Marceau only had 37 yards receiving, but his 183 yards in interceptions stood out. Forster noted that Pacek did a good job, but that he’s young and the coaches are working on him with his mechanics. Perhaps dogged by the stiff nonstop wind. Either way, his efforts were not for naught. Forster said the team is well aware it has no chance for the playoffs, but it is looking forward to its rivalry with Yale with the connections formed with the coaching staffs over the years. “We have one solid week left of practice and our goal is to finish out strong with a 5-4 record,” he noted.

CAPAC — The Chiefs clinched a playoff berth on Friday when they defeated Blue Water Area Conference rival Yale, 29-12. Capac used a strong running game and an effective passing attack to down the Bulldogs. Dan Cornsih got the Chiefs on the board first at 5:27 of the first quarter when he hit Sean O’Brien on a 22-yard scoring strike. The twopoint conversion was no good. With nine second left in the quarter, Cornish made a 12-yard field goal to make it 9-0. At 5:20 of the second quarter, Aaron Sammut scored on a five-yard scamper and Cornish added the PAT. O’Brien found the end zone with 27 second left in the half from three yards out, but the PAT was no good. Capac led 22-0 at the half. Yale’s Mason Smeznik completed an 11-yard touchdown pass to Nicholas Juip, but the two-point conversion failed at 5:42 in the third quarter. Sammut found paydirt once again at :12 of the third quarter from three yards out and the PAT was good by Cornish. Corey Smykowski scored from 11 yards out at 8:14 of the fourth

Dryden upends Webberville, improves to 3-5 LISA PAINE 810-452-2626 • lpaine@mihomepaper.com
DRYDEN — The Cardinals defeated Genesee Area Conference-Blue rival Webberville, 26-14, last Friday to move to 3-5 overall on the season. While a playoff spot is not possible at this point, the win speaks to the team’s character in not simply letting the season go quietly into the night. Trailing, 14-0 after the first quarter, Dryden pulled to within 12-14 at the break. Two touchdowns in the third gave Dryden some breathing room and a final score in the final stanza sealed the win. Dryden’s scores came from Sean Murphy on a 12-yard run in the second quarter, but the kick failed. Evan Paupert
GACBlue
reached the paint on a seven-yard jaunt and again the PAT missed the mark. In the third, Paupert dove in for a two-yard score and Joe Sturza split the uprights. Murphy tacked on another score in the fourth on a short twoyarder and Sturza’s kick was good. The Cardinals had 326 total yards on 47 carries, while Webberville was limited to 154, 12 passing and 142 rushing. Paupert was 0-2 in the air, while Murphy once again led the ground game with 197 yards on 22 carries.
Paupert rushed 84 yards on 13 trips and Mike Andreski made nine carries for 49 yards. Michael Rinke led with 18 tackles, Alex Otte had 11 tackles, one sack, one caused fumble and one fumble recovery, Brian Ladner had 10 tackles and one sack. Murphy had nine tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble, Zack Smith made eight stops and Cody Mannion made four tackles, forced two fumbles and picked up a fumble recovery. "Our punt team struggled in the first quarter, giving up a punt block touchdown and some really bad field position,” said coach Al Margriff. “Our kids didn't let down. My defensive coordinator, Nate Thornsberry called a great game. Some of our kids really stepped up their play this week."

Spartans continue to struggle, fall to 0-8 BY BRANDON POPE 810-452-2651 • bpope@mihomepaper.com
ALGONAC— One more loss, and the Imlay City football team will post a third consecutive 0-9 campaign. The Spartans haven’t won a game since October 24, 2008, and the trend would continue on Friday, as Imlay City traveled to Algonac for a Blue Water Area Conference showdown with the Muskrats. The Spartans would lose the contest, 35-0. The 35 Algonac points were all scored in the first half, resulting in a running clock throughout the entire second half. The Muskrats’ defense held Imlay City to a mere 50 total yards of offense. AJ Caldwell led the Spartans with 10 tackles, while teammate Zach Rosillo recorded nine. “Well, right now we’ve lost too many kids to eligibility to even run a scout team in practice,” said assistant coach John Topie. “So it’s tough to keep morale up.” Imlay City concludes the 2011 season next week against ElktonPigeon-Bay Port.

MAYVILLE — The past two weeks the Wildcats’ varsity football team has been on a roll, putting up 73 points and posting its only win of the season. That helped create some serious anticipation considering last Friday’s home finale’ against Harbor Beach doubled as Mayville’s final Greater Thumb Conference-East contest of the season, a mix the
GTCEast
Pirates were able to cast aside en route to a 47-0 victory. Not only did this give Harbor Beach sole possession of the 2011 league title, but it also kept the team’s undefeated streak alive at 8-0. For the contest, Mayville was held to just under 70 yard of total

MEMPHIS — Peck journeyed to Memphis on Friday for its final North Central Thumb League football game of the season and absorbed a 30-14 loss. The Pirates finished at 1-3 in the NCTL and slipped to 1-7 overall. Peck was still in the game at 15-6 at halftime, but gave
up two scores off turnovers to fall into a 30-6 hole. A fumble deep in their territory early in the second half set up a 14-yard Memphis touchdown run, and the Yellowjackets later scored on a 30-yard interception return. Peck scored in the second quarter on J.T. Cahoon’s
Panthers from page 1 then found Jones-Parker for a 65-yard touchdown pass with 8:17 left in the third quarter to invoke the 35-point mercy rule and the running clock. Chad Ferguson led the ground game with 106 yards on 20 carries as West rolled up 152 rushing yards on
four-yard touchdown run, but the two-point conversion failed. The Pirates hit paydirt again in the fourth when Jake Overstreet caught a short pass from Tim Logghe and broke two tackles to turn it into a 65-yard touchdown play. Logghe then hit Cam Warren with a two-point conversion pass to make it 30-14. Peck will close its season next Friday with a nonleague game at home against Marlette.

In a very balanced Metro race, West will finish one game out of a title share if it beats 1-7 Kearsley next week. “Our deal now is just to get into the playoffs,” said Smith. “We just have to control what we can control.”

Falcons fall to Panthers at home BY ERIK HOHENTHANER 810-452-2641 • ehohenthaner@mihomepaper.com
LAKEVILLE — The Falcons earned their first victory of the season last week, but could not carry that momentum into Friday’s game against Mt. Morris, as they fell to the Panthers, 268. LakeVille scored its lone touchdown in the first quarter on a 65-yard reverse pass from Brett DeSonia to Michael Hebekueser. Eric Woolley ran in the two-point conversion. Mt. Morris led 12-8 after the first quarter and the Falcons’ defense held strong in the second quarter, as the score remained the same heading into the half. The Panthers tacked on eight points in the third quarter and six in the fourth to seal the victory. Garrett Taylor led the Falcons with 63 yards rushing, Woollet had 40 yards and David Rutherford added 38. Defensively, Rutherford led the defense with 18 tackles.
GACRED
“The defense played fantastic tonight,” said LakeVille coach Joe Beckwith. “We had a punt blocked that was returned for a touchdown, one blocked on our four-yard line and one blocked at our 25. You can’t win football games when you get three punts blocked. Overall we played hard. They are big upfront. The effort was great. Next week we play the No. 2 team in the state so it is going to be a monumental task. We just have to play hard. They’re going for their 9-0 season, so it won’t be easy.” LakeVille, 1-7 overall, 1-5 GAC-Red, travels to undefeated Millington on Friday.

IMLAY CITY
Volleyball The Lady Chiefs picked up a critical win on Thursday in Imlay City. Capac took down the Spartans, 12-25, 2521, 15-25, 25-20, and 1513. Individual player stats were not reported. — B.P.
Soccer Now 16-1-1 overall, 131 Blue Water Area Conference, in coach Luis Hernandez’s first season atop the program, the Spartans wrapped up the regular season last Friday by beating Flint Metro League rival Lapeer West 2-0 at home on goals by Jose Barragan and RJ See at 20:40 and 12:40. In their final league contest of 2011, the Spartans downed Richmond, 7-0, last Wednesday to officially secure the league championship. Jose Barragan opened the scoring for Imlay City at 23:39 on the Tyler Michaels assist, a lead Salvador Barragan doubled at 16:00 with help from Kory Kanter. After the break the Spartans came out on fire, as RJ See lit up the scoreboard at 34:34 and 31:08 on passes from Jose Barragan and Kanter, only to see Josh Dodge make it a five-goal lead at 18:45 on the Zepeda assist. Just over four minutes later it was Billy Lux who hit nothing but net for Imlay City with help from Edgar Barragan before Ben Rodak connected for the game’s final goal at 7:42 on the pass by Vincente Torres. — M.S.
DRYDEN Soccer After getting beat by Lake Fenton in the first round of the Genesee Area Conference tournament, Dryden played Montrose last Wednesday in the losers’ bracket, winning, 5-1. Opening the scoring with a pair of goals for the Cardinals was Andrew Kunz on the Joe Sturza assist and a penalty kick, which Montrose followed with a goal of its own to cut Dryden’s lead to 2-1 going into halftime. What that created was a strategic adjustment by the Cardinals that gave them control of the midfield, setting up Andrew Kunz for goals three and four with help from Casey Lavella and Kyle Gierman, respectively. Andrew Kunz then connected once more to round out the scoring and fall just one-goal shy of the Michigan High School Athletic Association record book according to coach Ken Kunz. In his first game back from ACL surgery, goalie Matthew Kunz took the field for the first time since 2010 to make six saves. Dryden, 4-8 overall, 26 league, played Mt. Morris last Friday to determine fifth and sixth place for the tourney. —

Soaring Eagle
AREAWIDE —To provide children with the protection they need during games and practice, Delta Dental of Michigan is partnering with the Detroit Lions Youth Football Camp, Think Detroit Police Athletic League and Detroit Pistons Youth Training Camp to provide mouth guards for more than 8,100 children across Michigan. “Mouth guards are a mandatory piece of equipment for all levels of the game of football from youth flag football to college football,” said Chris Fritzsching, director of youth football for the Detroit Lions. “Even in our noncontact Detroit Lions Youth Football Camps, we stress the importance of molding the mouth guard properly and then ultimately emphasizing the wearing of the mouth guard to become a habit. The mouth guard is a vital piece of equipment, no matter what sport is being played.” The National Youth Sports Foundation for Safety reports that an athlete is 60 times more likely to sustain damage to the teeth when not wearing a protective mouth guard. Prior to mouth guard use being mandated by the state, the National Federation of State High Schools reported that 50 percent of injuries during high school football were oral-facial. Today, they represent less than one percent of injuries. However,

Hunter harassment is a misdemeanor LISA PAINE 810-452-2626 • lpaine@mihomepaper.com
LAPEER COUNTY — With hunting season comes the reports of hunter harassment. That comes in the form of unwanted harassment from those who do not support Michigan’s right to hunt laws and also from other hunters. In our County Press Blotter last week, we detailed how a hunter was assaulted by other hunters, his gun was taken and aimed at him. All because of a dispute over hunters’ rights to public land locations. Every year hunting blinds, tree stands and equipment are stolen and numerous encounters with hunters take place. Other encounters include private landowners not wanting to give permission to public land hunters pursuing their game. That’s their right, and, it’s every hunter’s right to enjoy their sport free from what the state Dept. of Natural Resources deems “unreasonable and deliberate interference from those opposed to hunting as a legitimate use of public land and other natural resources.” The DNR law enforcement division stresses that Michigan law prohibits individuals from obstructing or interfering with the lawful taking of animals. The DNR also supports hunting as a legitimate form of recreation and as a useful tool in the management of the wildlife resource. It’s Michigan conservation officers are committed to protecting hunters from the intentional disruption of the hunting experience. In many instances, nuisance harassment takes place where people intentionally block access to public and private lands with vehicles, or they walk deliberately in the fields and woods with orange flags banging pots and pans or blowing horns and noisemakers to scare the wild animals away from the hunters. That’s also hunter harassment and should be reported. Law enforcement and conservation officers encourage anyone experiencing harassment to report the violation to the DNR’s toll free complaint line at 1-800-292-7800, a local conservation officerm or the nearest DNR office facility. It’s noteworthy that hunter harassment is a misdemeanor offense in Michigan and other states. Law enforcement officers can legally issue a citation for violations which take place in their presence, or may arrest
