Konschuhs
attorneys allege
conspiracy
By Catherine Minolli
Tri-City Times Editor
GENESEE COUNTY
Attorneys for sidelined Lapeer
County Circuit Court Judge
Byron Konschuh say evidence
presented at his preliminary exam
was fabricated and that a key witness committed perjury.
Attorneys Mike Sharkey and
Tom Pabst last
Wednesday filed
a motion in
Genesee County
Circuit
Court
seeking all electronic
stored
information
relating to Lapeer
C o u n t y
Byron
Prosecutor Tim
T u r k e l s o n , Konschuh
Controller John
Biscoe, Assistant Prosecutor
Cailin Wilson and special prosecuting attorney Deana M.
Finnegan. The motion will be
heard in Judge Geoffrey
Nethercuts courtroom on Friday,
January 8.
New evidence has surfaced
showing that the evidence relied
upon at the preliminary examination was fabricated as a result of
overwhelming bias of the key
witnesses, perjury and forgery,
Sharkey says in a press release.
In order to determine how
deep and far reaching the bias is
which resulted in such incidents
of forgery and perjury, and in
order to defend the allegations
against him, Judge Konschuh is
entitled to and is seeking discovery of all communications that
exist between the key witnesses
in this matter.
In July of 2014, Konschuh
was charged with five counts of
embezzlement by a public official
over $50. The charges stem from

an December, 2013 investigation
that was initiated by Turkelson
when fees from a bad check
recovery agency crossed his desk
and he could find no protocol for
handling it. Turkelson contacted
the state attorney generals office,
who assigned Finnegan to the
case. An investigation by the state
police ensued.
Konschuh was
hired into the
p r o s e c u t o r s
office in 1998,
and served Lapeer
C o u n t y
Prosecutor from
2000 to the spring
of 2013, when
was appointed to
Tim
the
Lapeer
Turkelson County Circuit
Court bench by
Governor Rick Snyder. Turkelson
was appointed by Circuit Judge
John Holowka to take Konschuhs
spot. He worked as Konschuhs
chief assistant prosecutor from
2002-2007.
In 2008, Konschuh entered
into a contract with Missouribased BounceBack, which seeks
to make good on bad checks in
lieu of costly prosecution.
Along with BounceBack fees,
payments earned from teaching
law enforcement classes were
called into question. The grand
total for both is less than $1,800
over a five year period.
Konschuhs attorneys argue
that the funds used by Konschuh
to buy coffee and lunches for
employees, law enforcement and
witnesses do not meet the legal
definition of public funds and
therefore no embezzlement
occurred. He has been on paid

Capac teen meets Texas bone marrow donor
during holiday visit that unites both families
CAPAC A homecoming for

the holidays wasnt exactly a runof-the-mill experience for the
Tyson family, whose experiences
over the past several years have
been anything but.
This season was extra special
for 15-year-old Thomas Tyson, his
mom and dad Jayson and Erin, and
siblings Jason II, 18, Hunter, 11,
and Jesse Smith, 21.
For the first time since receiving a bone marrow transplant in
2012, Thomas came eye-to-eye
with the man who gave him a new
lease on lifeShannon Mugrage of
Austin Texas.
Shannon made the trip, which
in hindsight seems preordained and
protected, with his wife Amy, and
young children Starla, 5, Cheyanne,
3, and Donald, 1.
They stopped in Capac after a
visit to Wisconsin, where Amys
relatives live.
Its as if weve been family all
along, Jayson Tyson says. It felt
like weve known each other forever.
While thats not quite true, the
Tysons and the Mugrages have
known each other since August of
2012, when Shannon learned he
was a match for Thomas, whose
life would have otherwise undoubt-
edly been cut short by a rare genetic disorder known as XLP (X-linked
lymphoproliferative disorder).
The extremely uncommon,
fatal blood disorder affects only
males, and is believed to be present
in less than one child in a million. It
manifests itself in many forms, the
most common of which are infectious mononucleosis, malignant
lymphoma and dysgammaglobulinemia.
The average age of onset is 2.5
years of age and nearly 75% of
children diagnosed are deceased
before they reach 10 years of age.
The only known cure for XLP is

sense of duty to his family,
community and country are
in his DNA.
Stone comes from a family of dedicated public servants, and was recently
named Imlay Citys 2015
Firefighter of the Year by
his peers.
A 1985 graduate of Imlay
City High School, Stone
joined the U.S. Army in 1986,
serving in protective services
at duty stations in the U.S.
and abroad.
After leaving the military

in 1993, Stone went to work
for the Michigan Dept. of
Corrections in 1994, with
whom he is still employed.
Noting that his father and
brother served as firefighters
in Arcadia Twp. and the City
of Lapeer, Stone said fire service has always been something he aspired to. He has
been serving as an ImlayCity
firefighter since 2007.

Thanks 2015 Sponsors for an Awe-sum year!
As we prepare for the Robotics 2016 season kickoff, the Almont Shock and Awe-sum
Team 4961 is reflecting on the 2015 season with sincere appreciation for all the support we have
received throughout the past year. Our team is so very fortunate to have a network of dedicated
parents, mentors, faculty, and community businesses that recognize this unique opportunity
for students to learn leadership, teamwork, and life skills through the FIRST Robotics program.
Students are challenged to brainstorm, design, and build a competition robot and to actively
solve problems using skills learned through a strong Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
(STEM) curriculum.

Our team had many proud moments before reaching the ultimate achievement of earning a spot at the World Championship Competition in St. Louis! That final event proved to us the
high level of support and commitment of our community when on such short notice, we received
the funding and support that made it possible for our team to have an experience of a lifetime to compete and network with teams from around the globe!

Our students rely solely on the generous sponsorships, grants, and support of our community to continue this unique experience that is so essential for college and future careers.
Donations have included tools, materials, equipment, machining, and program funding to help
our students find success. Recognition and appreciation for unwavering support goes out to our
2015 Coach Mike Savage, our mentors, and the Robotics parents who kindly give their time and
talent. And we offer our gratitude to the following 2015 season sponsors: FCA Foundation, Four

Democracy and Affirmative Action

Philosophy professor discusses controversial
look at admission practices at the U of M
Photo by Randy Jorgensen
Carl Cohen discusses his passion for democracy

and its principles during recent visit to Imlay City
Rotary Club.
IMLAY CITY Carl

Cohen is passionate about
democracy and the equality it
grants to all of its citizens.
A professor of philosophy
at the University of Michigan
in Ann Arbor, Cohen in 1972
penned a book on the subject,
titled simply Democracy.
That book, and eight others Cohen has written over
the years has been translated
into many languages and used
as valuable reference material. But it is his latest venture
delving into his long-held
belief that the law should be
colorblind that sparked controversy at the university
where he was employed, and
prompted a visit to the Imlay
City Rotary Club last month.
Cohen discussed his
bookA
Conflict
of
PrinciplesThe Battle over
Affirmative Action at the
University of Michigan, and
detailed his reasons for tackling the subject.
Preference given by the
state to some but not others is
unacceptable, Cohen says.
When I learned that admission preferences were being
given by the University of
Michigan, my own university,

in the name of affirmative
action, I was morally compelled to campaign forthrightly for the elimination of such
preferences.
Cohens first inkling of
race preferences at U of M
came via a report in the
Journal of Blacks in Higher
Education, where it was noted
that the acceptance rate for
African Americans was higher than it was for applicants as
a whole.
That seemed highly suspect to me, he says.
So he set about finding
out what the admission practices were at U of M, something he describes as not
easily done.
The University was hiding its practices and its data,
Cohen says.
After numerous and persistent FOIA (Freedom of
Information Act) requests,
over time Cohen found the
answers he sought.
Eventually I did learn
what was going on, and
exposed it, leading to the
Michigan cases that were
addressed by the US Supreme
Court in 2003, he says.
In his book, Cohen details
the journey of those cases
IMLAYCITY It will
be some time before local
residents and motorists see
significant physical upgrades
along the M-53 corridor.
But as those improvements are implemented, they
are expected to improve traffic flow and ensure the public
safety.
That was the assessment
of engineer Alan Bean of The
Spicer Group at the Dec. 15
Imlay City Commission
meeting.
While discussing future
upgrades to the two-mile
stretch of highway from I-69
to old M-21, Bean explained
that upgrades along the corridor will take place in phases
over a period of years.
The proposed upgrades
evolved from a series of meetings involving a M-53
Corridor Committee comprised of city officials, community leaders and major
stakeholders from MDOT,
DTE and CNRailroad.
The committee also considered the opinions and suggestions of nearly 1,100 people who responded to an
online survey.
Bean said the concept
plan adopted by the city will
be divided into four phases,
beginning with upgrades in
the northern portion of the

highway, possibly within the
next two years.
City Manager Tom Youatt
said the city will seek grant
funding from the state to help
pay for some of the proposed
upgrades.
Listed among the proposed upgrades is narrowing
the roadway from four to
three lanes at Third Street
north of the railroad viaduct
for safer access and egress to
and from the downtown district.
Plans also include aesthetic
renovations
and
improvements to the railroad
viaduct, such as new lighting,
pedestrian walkways and a
Welcome to Imlay City
sign atop the viaduct.
Other possibilities are the
creation of a pedestrian crosswalk; a more accessible truck
route to and from the citys
industrial park; improving the
appearance of the fencing at
the EasternMichigan State
Fairgrounds; and eventually,
a traffic signal at Borland
Road or in front of the Kroger
Plaza.
City Manager Tom Youatt
said the city is still awaiting
word from MDOTregarding
the possible installation of a
traffic signal.
They (MDOT) consider
a lot of factors before making
a decision, like traffic vol-

through the courts.

His research and subsequent conclusions did not
make him popular at the U of
M.
Many of my academic
and administrative colleagues
were not happy with me, but
this is The University of
Michigan, he says. There
could be no backlash here for
the honest expression of opinion on a controversial topic.
Cohen says the exchange
of opinions and ideas
regarding the topic at the
Rotary Club meeting was
very satisfying, and he
enjoyed his brief visit to
Imlay City.
I doubt that I have ever
had an audience as intensely
interested in my report as the
Imlay City Rotary Club, he
says. The intellectual
exchange on that occasion
was very provocative!
Cohen was appointed to
the Philosophy Department at
U of M in 1955, making him
the senior member of faculty
there.

In addition to the fast

for a filling station, retail

Elevation drawings for

and dimensions of all buildings are also being requested.
The village has also
required that the final site

requirements as it pertains to
driveways, intersections and
the like.
A portion of the Loves
property, closest to the interstate, is located in Mussey

annexing that property and
has had discussions with their
attorney on the matter.

Last month, the Michigan
Department of Agriculture
and Rural Development lifted
the statewide ban on poultry
exhibitions. MDARD implemented the ban as a precautionary measure in June 2015
in response to the Highly
Pathogenic Avian Influenza
(HPAI) outbreak happening
across the U.S.
State officials felt it was
appropriate to lift the ban
after evaluating the disease
risk and current national status but stressed that the ban
could be reinstated if the disease re-emerges or if the disease is detected in either wild
bird or domestic flocks.
The ban prevented the
commingling of birds from
different locations, including
exhibitions, swap meets, petting zoos at fairs, game bird
and waterfowl fair displays,
and Miracle of Life exhibits.
Although the ban had a profound impact on the years
agriculture events, MDARD
strove to work with Michigan
State University Extension

4-H, Michigan Association of
Fairs and Exhibitions and
other partners to identify
ways to engage Michigan's
youth poultry exhibitors and
allow them to showcase their
knowledge and experience.
I would like to thank
MSU Extension and our
youth leaders who created a
meaningful educational experience out of an unfortunate
situation, said Dr. James
Averill, MDARDs State
Veterinarian.
Their partnership was
invaluable in protecting all of
Michigan's poultry flocks
statewide from this devastating disease.
Concern for the possibility of a return of HPAI in the
U.S still remains. Generally,
heightened findings of influenza viruses in wild birds will
begin in winter and go through
spring as birds commingle
and migrate south, and cold
weather helps keep the virus
alive. The last case of HPAI
in domestic birds was documented in June; however, the
domestic population is always
at risk of influenza infection

from wild waterfowl which
may spread the virus in their
droppings.
MDARD continues to
encourage poultry owners to
practice proper biosecurity
and contact their local veterinarian if they have sick birds.
However, if a flock is experiencing severe illness or multiple death losses, contact
MDARD at 800-292-3939 or
for after-hours emergencies
call 517-373-0440.
To that end, MSU
Extension and the USDA will
team up to offer several bird
biosecurity training events
throughout the state including
a Feb 25 event at the Lapeer
County MSU Extension
office, beginning at 7 p.m.
The event is free but registration is required and can be

IMLAY CITY If
youre looking to put a little
magic into the New Year,
look no farther than the Imlay
Conversation Salon.
The informal gathering
aimed at fostering community and communication will
kick off its first meeting of
the new year on January 13th
with a visit from master magician/illusionist Ron Aldrich.
As an added bonus, Ron will
be accompanied by his wife
Tracy, who is the director of
the Ruth Hughes Library in
Imlay City.
Reality is the ultimate
illusion, Ron Aldrich is fond
of saying.
And in a way, says wife
Tracy, Ron has built his own
reality upon the art of illusion, engaging audiences
with fine close up magic and
intriguing mentalism in a
career spanning more than 50
years.
His life in magic goes
back much further, Tracy
adds, to his early days as a
small boy living in a gritty
Detroit neighborhood. His
Welsh grandmother, a tea leaf
reader, often saw clients in
their modest home, and he
would linger by the door of
her parlor, curious, soaking
up every mystical word and
gesture. Later in the evenings,
Rons father, a jazz musician
by night, would bring the
band over to session in the
kitchen, where young Ron
would watch card tricks
through the smokey haze.
Ron has honed his magic
craft over 70 years, and is
known for his elegant style;
no ladies sawed in half, no
rabbits out of hats, just captivating sleight of hand and
insightful mind reading,
Tracy says.

Area college access network gets boost

LAPEER COUNTY
The Michigan College Access
Network
(MCAN)
has
announced the Lapeer County
College Access Network has
received a $10,000 planning
grant
to
facilitate
a
community planning process
to establish a Local College
Access Network.
MCAN provides planning
grants,
implementation
grants
and
continuous
improvement grants to
support college access and
success initiatives. The three
types of grants are designed
to help Michigan communities establish cross-sector collaborative leadership teams
and action plans to dramatically increase their collegegoing rates.
The Lapeer County
College Access Network will
use the grant money to determine college access needs of
the community and establish
metrics and performance targets aligned with the communitys goals, and develop a
collaborative action plan for
building a college-going culture within the community.

The college access network
will serve Lapeer County.
Local college access networks (LCANs) set goals
focused on student success,
establish a system of data
gathering and analysis, report
results, and hold partners
accountable for performance.
These LCANs coordinate
programs, services and
resources that lower the barriers preventing students, particularly low-income and
first-generation college going
students as well as students of
color, from pursuing postsecondary educational opportunities.
Each local college access
network plays a critical role
in sparking systematic change
necessary to increase college
readiness, participation and
completion within their community,
said
Brandy
Johnson, executive director of
the Michigan College Access
Network.
According to the U.S.
Census
Bureau,
2013
American
Community
Survey, only 28.46 percent of
Lapeer County residents ages
25- to 64-years-old possess at
least an associate degree.
Michigan has recently experienced a modest increase in its
college attainment rate
from 37.4 percent of 25- to
64-year-olds possessing at
least an associates degree, to
38.4 percent. However,
Michigans rate still lags
behind the national average of
40 percent. It is MCANs goal
to increase Michigans postsecondary educational attainment rate to 60 percent by the
year 2025. With the newest
planning grant recipients,
MCAN supports 50 local college access networks across
the state. Funding from the
State of Michigan and The
Kresge Foundation make
MCAN grants possible. To

Our Opinion
Senate Bill 571 is

censorship, period
s this democracy? Preventing voters from

learning about important ballot initiatives
within 60 days of an election surely does
not seem to fit the description.
Regardless, a bill awaiting signature from
Governor Rick Snyder which would prevent
school districts and other local governments
from using taxpayer dollars to inform voters
about upcoming ballot proposals within 60
days of an election would do just that.
Senate Bill 571 would silence school districts and municipalities from open discussion of important, factual information
regarding bond and/or millage issues, while
opening the floodgates to groups bent on
spreading misleading or inaccurate information
regarding the same. One has to wonder what
benefit such a law would create for hardworking, taxpaying voters who are tasked with
deciding the important issues of public education and local issues.
For school districts and local governments,
telling residents how to vote on any ballot
measure is already prohibited, but the new
measure threatens to punish everyone across
the board, not just those whove been in violation of the existing law. Keeping people in the
dark about important issues that will impact
their wallets is never conducive to the democratic process.
Senate Bill 571 is bad legislation that suppresses factual information. Information
about millage proposals on upcoming ballots may be disseminated for months, but most
residents voting in those elections dont follow
it closely until polling time draws near.
Silencing school districts and local municipalities for 60 days before such an election does
not help to educate voters and could actually
result in more failed millages for school districts and local governments with devastating
consequences. Preventing voters from asking
direct questions about issues within 60 days of
voting is censoring, and last time we checked,
that is not what makes a democracy. We urge
Governor Rick Snyder to veto this baffling
piece of unacceptable legislation.

be held at the Mayfield
Township Hall, 1900 N.

Saginaw St, Lapeer. At this
meeting we will be conducting a forum for our Republican
and Democrat candidates running for the open Michigan
House of Representatives seat
for the 10th District. Like our
last forum, the candidates will
answer questions from our
audience through a modera-
tor. This time, because there

are only two candidates, there
will be more time to direct
questions specifically to each
one.
We usually have a postcard project with current topics, but we will curtail this at
the February meeting to spend
as much time with our candidates as possible.
This is a start of a new

year. An important election
year. Come listen, learn and
ask questions so you can
make informed decisions
about who is representing
you.

made a pact a few years ago,

and we lurch forward and
backward trying to keep it:
We will avoid any boring,
fruitless and somewhat inane
conversations centering
around our various real or
perceived weight problems.
Weve come to realize its
tedious, silly and basically
unimportant in the big
scheme of things to do so.
Still, theres always that
pull to equate body image
with self worth, as illogical
as it is. And sometimes we
break our pact and find ourselves talking about it.
Dwelling on it. Getting
sucked into the spiraling vortex of it until we hear how
ridiculous and tedious and
inane we sound...and then we
just laugh.
When I feel tugged in
that crazy direction, Itry to
remember something I read
long ago. The author was
relating her lightbulb
moment regarding her own
weight and food issues, and
how much useless, wasted
time she spent worrying
about what she ate.
Her epiphany came when
she pictured the end of her
life and what might be written on her tombstone lest she
refocus her energy.
Here lies so-and-so, she
imagined. She was really,
really thin.
Reality slap. Pass the

n the last couple of days

Ive heard two pastors tell
their stories of having lost
loved ones to suicide. Raw,
jagged, gritty reality from
folks we somehow figure
have all the answers.
But, of course, they
dont. They didn't before,
and now they are left with
gaping
holes in
their lives.
With searing pain
that, over
time, dulls
but
doesn't go
away.
With more
questions
than
answers.
Questions
which, in a strange sort of
way, make them seem more
accessible to the rest of hurting humanity.
One of the pastors is
Rick Warren, who serves at
Saddleback, a mega-church
which reaches thousands
more even in its small
groups than in its formal
worship services. I heard
him tell the story of how he
took a several-month leave

after his son took his own
life following a very long
period of mental illness. The
back story to that was that
while he was taking time to
process his own grief, the
small-group ministry of the
church continued to divide
and multiply.
While that story affected
me deeply, I had heard bits
and pieces of it before. The
other caught me totally
unawares. I opened a periodical and noticed a feature
written by a college friend.
The pathos was unmistakable
from the beginning; and as
my friend wrote about his
wife, he helped me hear her
infectious giggle and remember her gentle, caring ways.
As I read on, I became more
and more aware that I was
being transported to a place
in her life of which I had
known nothing. Shed

and emotional. He shared the
moment that shed hugged
him and said she just wished
she could go to sleep and
wake up in heaven.

A lifespan

relaxed before the Christmas tree last night for the

final review of my 2015 goals, my homage to our
Fraser Fir before I stripped it for the burn pile.
Dear Reader, I fell 50% short of achieving my hearts
desires for the past twelve months. This is my worst
record since I began setting goals in ink over thirty
years ago.
In search of explanations, I scrolled the list line by
line with my pen, recalled my intent
for each personal and professional
objective. Clarity overcame disappointment as I realized circumstances
out of my control had rendered my
ideals unrealistic.

From January through
September, the exodus of family
members and friends from this earth
consumed my mind, heart, and time.
This season of loss called for grace,

comfort, and healing for my family
and me.

Goals must be flexible, corrected in times of need, I reasoned. Furthermore, I no longer wanted all I aimed for January past. Yet, more difficult to face were the failures due to my lack of resolve
and discipline. I rolled those goals over to a shorter list
for 2016.
Try, try again.
You see, a childhood memory drifted into my
dreams recently with a solemn reminder of lifes brevity. Not necessarily the result of bedtime gluttony, Im
convinced dreams are often messengers. They may
come from our deepest desires and fears to inform, correct, and direct us. Often, dreams behave in flashbacks
to reveal whats eating our soul.
Such is the scene of the day I raced home from
school, arms full of books, and found new wall-to-wall
carpet on our living room floor. I fell to my knees,
rolled on the gold rug in bliss while Mom laughed in
the kitchen.
Like a visitation from Dickens Spirit of Christmas
Past, I woke from the dream and remembered my wedding day, dressed in my gown, veil, and shoes too small.
Our living room carpet had lost its glamour, an eyesore
the photographer discreetly avoided to my mothers
relief.
After forty-six years, that old regret for Moms
hardship still lodges in my chest. She sewed my wedding trousseau, roasted the chicken and baked the light
rolls for my reception, all without a dime from Dad or
her love-struck daughter.
After Mom passed, I folded my hot pink, floorlength taffeta bridal robe and let it go to Salvation
Army. If ever I doubted my mothers love for me, that
handmade garment alone dismissed the notion with its
70s-style pointed collar.
Blessed be God for the memory of these precious
things under Heaven! Their power lives past the fire pit,
resale store, and landfill.
I now understand we plan for the future because we
love people and life. We know every earthly thing has a
lifespan. What truly matters is what we leave to immortal, redemptive memory.
For every destructive thing, we may offer a treasure
to encourage our kind to faith, hope, and charity.

Wet sheep dont shrink.
A potpourri of ponderables
ometimes Tiger and I sit

on the sun porch and just
ponder. She usually curls up
in a sunny spot while I open
the windows to feel the
breeze and listen to the birds
singing. Occasionally, I ponder what shes pondering. Is
she remembering a long-ago
mouse hunt? Is she remembering a
particularly fun time
in her kittenhood?
She usually keeps
her
thoughts to
herself.
Rick Liblong
But
thats
whats fun
about pondering. You dont
have to share your thoughts
if you dont want to.
Lots of things pop into my
head during these sessions.
None are necessarily earth
shattering in importance, just
stuff I wonder about.
For example, someday
we will elect a woman as
President of the United
States. Maybe next year or
sometime later, but it will
happen eventually. So what
will we call her? A male
President is called Mr.
President. So should we call
her Mrs. President? Or Ms.
President? The common
thought is that we will refer
to her as Madam President.
But do we really want a
madam running the White
House? Think about it.
And what about her spouse?
Probably wont be First
Lady. So will it be First
Man? First Gentleman? First
Spouse? And what if the First
Spouse used to be President?
Do we say, Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the
United States and President
Clinton? Confusing for sure.
Carved in the mantle in
the State Dining Room is a
portion of a letter written by
President John Adams to his
wife, Abigail. It reads, in
part, May none but honest
and wise men ever rule under
this roof. Will Mrs.
President have someone take
a jackknife and carve and
women in the text?
Heres another ponderable. Have you ever seen a
spiders web between two
trees or shrubs? Sometimes
its just one long line. How
did the spider do that? Can a
spider jump that far trailing
its silky web line behind it?
Then does it act like Nik
Wallenda and tightrope walk
across the rope and contin-
All the Liblong day..
ue spinning the web? I read

someplace once that the spider tosses the web line into
the air and lets the wind
carry it to the other tree.
True? Do you know? Have
you ever seen it done? I
havent.
Have you ever used super
glue? That stuff sticks
instantly to whatever surface
it touches, including my fingers. So why doesnt it stick
to the inside of the tube it
comes in?
This probably doesnt
happen if you live in a small
town but if you live in a big
city, traffic can be a nightmare. So why is the time
when traffic is the slowest or
not moving at all called
rush hour? Nobodys rushing anywhere!
If Noah had simply swatted the two mosquitoes he
had onboard the Ark, would
mankind have been spared
all of the diseases mosquitoes
carry? If he had only known!
In Michigan during deer
season, we shoot deer.
During pheasant season, we
shoot pheasants. During fishing season, we catch fish.
What about tourist season?
Ever notice that when
youre sick and go to the
drug store for medicine, the
pharmacy is always at the
back of the store? Youre
feeling lousy and have to
walk all the way back there.
But if you want to buy cigarettes, theyre on sale right
near the front cash register.
Why does wool shrink
when it gets wet? The sheep
dont shrink in the rain, do
they?
Weve all used the
phrase, The best thing since
sliced bread. What was the
best thing before sliced
bread?
Does it ever concern you
that all of the doctors who
are helping you and keeping
you alive are simply practicing?
Is Santa so jolly all the
time because he knows
where the naughty girls live?
Oooops. Politically incorrect.
Sorry.
Isnt it great to see that
new watches are being
assembled in Detroit? Its
helping revitalize downtown.
How come the third hand on
these watches is called the
second hand?
One ponderable that has
bothered me forever is why
we humans discriminate
against each other over
things we had no control
over. No human being has
ever had any choice over

New inscription for State Dining Room mantle?
Willene:
from page 8
favorite Scriptures, Isaiah
42:3, my friend, Bob
Koornneef, quoted two
images which would have
been familiar to the prophets
audience. A bruised reed
will He not break, and a
smoldering wick He will not
snuff out.
It did not happen that
way. Overwhelmed by all
she was facing, he remembers with sadness, she eventually snuffed out the wick
rather than waiting on the
Lord to rekindle it.
Having spent half of her
life with ulcerative colitis,
having extreme back issues
requiring surgery, and then
having found out during the
surgery prep that there was a
non-malignant tumor on her
optic nerve for which the
prognosis for surgery or no
surgery were both dire, shed
ended up for three weeks in
a psychiatric hospital following an emotional breakdown.
All of this, Bob
remembers, took it's toll on
her faith...I often worried as
I drove home from work
whether I would find her
alive. Yet, when it happened,
the reality was shocking. I
am comforted now to know
that she is no longer suffering but rather is experiencing
peace beyond our comprehension. This raises
questions...I believe God did
not cause my wife to end her
life. Nor did God prevent her
from taking things into her
own hands. At the same
time, I am convinced that
God did not plan it.
He goes on to say that
many survivors experience
severe anger. For me, he
writes, my reaction has
been one of deep sadness
that the human spirit can get
so low that everything seems
hopeless. Along with sadness

is the disappointment that I
did not get a chance to say
goodbye.
He quotes from Dietrich
Bonhoeffers Letters and
Papers from Prison. There
is nothing that can replace
someone dear to us, and one
should not even attempt to
do so. One must simply hold
out and endure the absence...
But gratitude transforms the
torment of memory into
silent joy. One bears what
was lovely in the past not as
a thorn but as a precious gift
deep within, a hidden treasure of which one can
always be certain.
There was more. All of it
made me very aware of how
Gods economy takes the
raw realities of life to
redeem. Bob cites non-judgmental friends who patiently
listens as he tells the story
over and over again. He cites
informed persons who understand that grieving is not a
sign of weakness, nor a lack
of faith, but the price of love.
He mentions people who are
aware of his vulnerability.
Finally, he has these
words: With Gods help and
the support of friends, I am
letting go and reordering my
life. And I am praying that at
the core of developing a new
identity, God will mold me
more firmly into the image
of his Son.
Does this sound to you
like a pastor to whom I could
go with my grief? Someone
with whom I could be brutally honest with deep struggles? I believe this is how
God brings beauty from the
ash heaps in a broken world.
And I believe my friend
could be, even more than
before, instrumental in keeping smoldering wicks from
going out.

The MIthumb Interfaith

includes a 20 minute talk and

Lapeer County VA hosts

support group Jan. 12th
By Tom Wearing
LAPEER COUNTY
The Lapeer County Veteran
Support Group will host its
monthly meeting Tuesday,
Jan. 12, starting at 6 p.m. at
the Lapeer County Veterans
Affairs (LCVA) office.
The LCVA office is
located at 87 W. Nepessing
St. in downtown Lapeer.
VADirector Ed Ronders
said the support group
provides
veterans
the
opportunity to meet in an
informal
setting
and
discuss issues they are facing.

The Lapeer Veteran
Support Group meets the
second Tuesday of each
month at the LCVA office.
There is no fee to participate,
although registration is
encouraged.
The support group is open
to veterans of all eras,
regardless of when or where
they served. Female veterans
are encouraged to attend.
To register for the Jan. 12
meeting, e-mail to: jokreiner@lapeercounty.org or call

istics of the Lutheran faith,

the central role of grace and
the
current
state
of
Lutheranism in the United
States. A 30 minute question
and answer period will follow.
This informational meeting is intended for all people
whether they are religious or
not who wish to know a little
more about this faith and
what makes it unique, Burch
says. There will not be an
attempt to convert you into
this faith, or any other.
The
last
MIthumb
Interfaith meeting, which was
held at the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints in
Lapeer, drew 48 visitors and
prompted a question and
answer session that lasted
more than 40 minutes. It was
the third in the MIthumb
series.
The purpose of these
interfaith meetings is not an
attempt to unify the faiths in
any way, Burch says. Each
church we are visiting has a
rich tradition and the Interfaith
Council believes they deserve
a chance to explain their

faith.
Burch says the goal is to
provide knowledge, which
will hopefully lead to greater
understanding of each other
and the world we live in.
Bringing people together
to further understanding of
our similarities and our differences helps to reduce prejudice, which, if left unchecked,
can lead to hate and violence,
he says.
The
January
10th
MIthumb Interfaith Council
meeting marks the fourth in
the series. Burch says the fifth
meeting is in the planning
stage, but may be held at a
Roman Catholic Church in
May.
Burch encourages anyone
interested in receiving a
blind copy email about
future meetings in this series
to send an email to
MIthumbInterfaithCouncil@
gmail.com.
Religious institutions and
churches interested in hosting
future meetings are encouraged to email as well.

Conspiracy: Konschuhs
attorneys seek messages
from page 1-A
administrative leave since
July of 2014.
In last weeks motion,
Konschuhs attorneys are
seeking emails, text, instant
and SMS messages, as well
as voice mail messages from
phones, computers and other
devices used by Finnegan,
Turkelson, Biscoe and
Wilson as they relate to the
case.
The reason, according to
defense attorneys, is to
explore the true backstory
in this case of conspiracy to
remove Judge Konschuh
from office, says the press
release.
Sharkey and Pabst allege
"New evidence
has surfaced
showing the
evidence relied
upon at the
preliminary
examination was
fabricated as a
result of overwhelming bias
of the key
witnesses..."
--Attorney
Mike Sharkey
that Turkelsons bias and

vested interest in the outcome of the case undermine
his credibility as a witness.
They also assert that Biscoe
perjured
himself
at
Konschuhs 2014 preliminary exam when he lied
about any other County
Departments in particular,
the Lapeer County Medical
Care Facilitys unauthorized
expenditures of monies
expressly defined by the
Lapeer County auditors as
public money.
They go on to state that a
letter accepted into evidence
written by Cailin Wilson and
allegedly signed by Konschuh
is a forgery.
A copy of an unsigned
letter allegedly initiated by
Judge Konschuh was admitted into evidence...and relied
upon by the prosecution and
District Judge to show Judge
Konschuhs knowledge that
the checks received from
teaching law enforcement
classes were public money
and not discretionary funds,
Sharkey says in the press
release. A year later, the
prosecutions witness found
a copy of the letter now conveniently bearing Judge
Konschuhs signature. An
expert in handwriting and
document examination has
determined the signature on
the letter to be a forgery.
In the legal pleadings,
Konschuhs attorneys say
Turkelson hoped to win the
judges seat Konschuh was
appointed to, and when he
did not he conspired with
others to destroy Judge
Konschuh for their mutual
political
Firefighter: Capt. Scott

Stone earns recognition
from page 1-A
Christmas party at Heritage
Church.
For me, serving is all
about the camaraderie and
our shared commitment,
Stone said. Its a commitment to be a firefighter.
You have to be dedicated, he said. In addition to
all of the training, you have to
be willing to give up a lot of
your personal and family
time. Theres more to it than
just fighting fires.
Stone admits to being a
bit of an adrenaline junkie,
who thrives on the energy
and excitement associated
with firefighting and emergency response in general.
There are a lot of things
that take place behind the
scenes to keep a fire department functioning at the highest level, Stone said.
Besides the constant training, we have to maintain our
building, our trucks and the
equipment to keep them operational. Theres a lot more
than meets the eye.
Stones contributions to
the community have not been
limited to his hometown of
Imlay City.
Starting in 1997, he
became a member of Lapeer
Countys
Emergency
Response Team (ERT), eventually rising to the position of
District Commander of the
Thumb Regions ERT.
While having been singled out as Imlay Citys 2015
Firefighter of the Year, Stone

insists he is merely part of a
team, each of whose members are integral to the department.
Im very proud of the
other members of this department, said Stone. Each and
every one of them contributes
a lot to this department.
Theyre all deserving of
being firefighter of the year.
Stone said he is particularly proud of and thankful
for the support of his wife of
26 years, Amy (Ramirez)
Stone, and their three children; Amber, Zeke and Zack.
Already displaying his sense
of duty to country, Stone said
Zeke is currently serving in
Korea as a member of the
U.S. Army.
Fire Chief Rick Horton
credits Stone for his superior
leadership and his dedication
to the fire department and fellow Imlay City residents.
Scott is an excellent
individual who has the respect
and support of his fellow firefighters, he said. That is
evidenced by his selection as
this years firefighter of the
year. He is a great asset to
our department and to the
community of Imlay City.
In addition to presenting
Capt. Stone with the
Firefighter of the Year Award
on Dec. 12, the fire department acknowledged the service of veteran firefighters,
Dallas and Tiffany Hainds,
who have retired from the
department.
who envisions developing the

old school into senior citizen
housing.
The 7,600-square-foot
former elementary school is
located at 401 Church Street
and is situated on 14.85 acres.
A 12.82-acre portion of
the original 28-acre grounds
was recently purchased by
Almont Township at a cost of
$4,000 per acre, or about
$49,680.
That parcel will continue
to be used as ballfields and
parking for Almonts youth
sports programs.
Candela said the school
board could vote to approve
or reject either of the latest
bids at Tuesdays organizational meeting.
Thats a possibility, said
Candela. It could happen at
that meeting.
More than a year ago the
school district had proposed a
building swap with the Village
and Township, which would
have allowed both government entities, along with the
police and building departments, into the old school.
In exchange, the school
district would have moved its
administration offices into the
existing village/township
municipal offices on Howland
School officials were expected to consider bids for the former Almont
Elementary School building at their meeting yesterday evening (Jan. 5).
Road.
That idea was scrapped
after it was determined that
village and township residents
would have to approve a $7.7
million millage over a span of
20 years to upgrade and main-
tain the building and grounds.

Though proponents of the
building swap and reuse plan
wanted the proposal to go to a
vote of the people, the school
board eventually opted to take
their offer off the table in
favor of selling the building

and grounds.
Among other matters to
have been taken up at the
Tues., Jan. 5 organizational
meeting was the election of
school board officers.
Capac seeks to fill council seat

By Maria Brown
CAPAC The village

has a new Department of
Public Works superintendent
and is looking to fill a council
vacancy in the new year.
At their December 7
meeting, the council voted
unanimously to hire Greg
Smith for the top DPW job.

He succeeds Ron Martin who
resigned from his post effective January 4.
Last month the council
also granted Smith permission to advertise for part-time
DPW positions at his discretion.
Since October, the council has had an empty seat due
to the resignation of member

Debra Hlubic. At their January
4 meeting, the council voted
unanimously to advertise the
position, asking interested
parties to contact village
offices by February 5.
Whoever is appointed to
the seat will fill the remainder
of Hlubics term.
In other council business:

Gift: Bone marrow donor makes visit from Texas

from page 1-A
a bone marrow transplant.
Thomass diagnosis followed a bout of mono. Once
physicians identified XLP,
his siblings were tested, with
Hunter testing positive as
well.
Life saving registry
When the Tysons learned

of their sons fate, they advocated around the area and
across the country for people
to participate in the Be The
Match bone marrow registry,
a national registry that aims
"I didn't really

do anything
special, bit it
feels good to
know I've
helped."
--Shannon
Mugrage
Austin, Texas
to match critically ill blood
cancer patients with healthy
bone marrow donors.
Shannon was inspired to
join the registry while serv-
ing in the Navy from 2003 to

2010. The Department of
Defense issued a campaign
urging people to sign up, so
in 2005 while serving in
Hawaii, he did so.
Signing on is simple
enough, says Jayson Tyson,
who did so after his sons
were diagnosed. All it takes
are a few mouth swabs,
sealed in a bag and sent on
for testing.
Shannon was identified
as a match three times altogetherwith
Thomass
transplant being the first case
that he learned the outcome.
The other two times it
didnt go through, so I was
happy to be able to help
someone out, Shannon says.
In November of 2012,
Shannon was flown from
Austin, Texas to Johns
Hopkins University Hospital
in Washington, D.C. where
he underwent a donor procedure.
Shannons bone marrow
was immediately transported
by helicopter to University of
Michigans
Childrens
Hospital in Ann Arbor, where
Thomas was prepped and
waiting for a new lease on
life.
After a four-plus month stay,
he was deemed healthy
enough to go home and
resume the life of a healthy
teenaged boy, which he is
doing as a sophomore at
Jason, Erin and Thomas Tyson with bone marrow

ALMONT School
board members were expected to consider two bids for the
purchase of the old elementary school and grounds at
Tuesdays (Jan. 5) organizational meeting.
In late November, the
board rejected one bid of
$50,600 for the building and
property, while a second offer
of $200,600 from Almont resident George Spear was

quickly rescinded.
Schools Supt. Joe Candela
said the lower offer was submitted by George Tencza,
who was expected to make a
second and presumably higher bid to the board on Tuesday.
Candela said Tenczas initial bid was deemed too low
by school board members.

More life-affirming
moments
Coming face to face with

the person that gave the
Tysons hope when they felt
hopeless wasnt exactly a
walk in the park, though.
Shannon and his family
headed up north from Austin
last week, right around the
time some wild winter weather began gripping parts of the
U.S.
On the first leg of the trip,
they stopped for lunch in
Rowlett, Texas. Four hours
later, tornadoes ripped
through the area, killing eight
people and damaging many
businesses and homes.
They continued north and
made it through, Missouri
shortly before unprecedented, heavy rains swelled rivers
in some areas to devastating
flood levels not seen since
1993.
We either had a guiding
light around us or someone
giving us a message that we
cant turn around, Shannon
says.
Once safely at the Tysons
home in Capac, Shannon
says he and his wife and kids
had a great time.
The kids have never
seen snow so they think its
pretty cool, he says.
They spent most of the
visit relaxing and enjoying

family games and football on
tv, something that both the
Tysons and the Mugrages are
into.
As for meeting the young
man hes helped lead a
healthy life, Shannon says
its a great experience.
I didnt really do anything special, but it feelss
good to know Ive helped.
On the receiving end of
that help, Thomas summed
up his feelings about meeting
Shannon in three words:
Its pretty awesome, he
says.
Gratitude abounds
Bonding
with
the
Mugrage family was a great
experience for Jayson and
Erin Tyson as well. The couple says its difficult to find
words to express how grateful they are.
They gave us hope when
we were feeling very hopeless, Jayson says. We are
so grateful for what they did.
Were so happy to have met
them. It feels like family.
Hunter underwent a bone
marrow transplant in 2013.
He has yet to meet his donor,
although they are corresponding.

Drop boxes help

reduce drug abuse
TRI-CITY AREA
When people find themselves
in possession of unneeded
medications, it can be a challenge to know how to dispose
of them properly.
Most people simply throw
them away or leave them to
collect dust in the medicine
cabinet. It is a topic not often
thought about, but law
enforcement officials say it is
important to safely remove
any unneeded drugs from the
home in a way that guarantees
that they will not be misused.
To solve this problem,
area police departments are
stepping up to provide a
secure location for the disposal of unused medications.
Weve had 80 pounds of
pills so far just from our little
area, says Sergeant Barbara
Soffin of the Michigan State
Police Lapeer Post.
Disposal locations are set
up in both the MSP Lapeer
post and the Lapeer County
Sheriffs office. The service
ensures that when people find
themselves in possession of
unneeded medications they
have an option available to
them to remove them from the
home safely, which helps prevent the medications from
being abused.
Detective Sergeant Jason
Parks heads up the program at
the Lapeer County Sheriffs
office.
We realized a lot of these
prescription pills were out in
the streets and people were
looking for a safe place to
dispose of them properly, he
says, and we decided the best
way for people to do it is to
bring them into a police
department to make it accessible for the people to drop
them off.
The drop boxes are available all day and night, every
day of the year. No sign in or
registration is required. A
person looking to dispose of
medication simply drops

them into the secure box.

After the medications are
collected from the drop boxes,
theyre incinerated to prevent
any environmental issues.
Since a significant portion
of the drugs disposed of
through this program are
addictive, officials reiterate the
importance of getting them out
of circulation. In many cases,
prescription medications are
the first step into illegal drug
use, and by removing these
unneeded medications from
homes, area law enforcement
officials say theyre seeing a
positive effect overall.
A lot of the kids start
with the narcotics that theyre
able to easily access, from
family members, grandparents, cancer patients, you
name it, Soffin says. And
when that narcotic is no longer available to them, they
transition to the (illegal
drugs).
Parks echoed that observation.
One of the common traits
of people that got involved in
illegal drugs is that everybody
says it started out with the
pain medication, he says.
After the prescriptions run
out, then they start trying to
buy it at street levels.
You have to respect
(these drugs), Parks says.
There is an addictive quality
to pain medication and people
have to be really careful with
them.
When prescription painkillers are disposed of safely,
it prevents people from being
able to access them in order to
abuse them, Parks adds.
As the drop box program
becomes more widely used,

both Soffin and Parks hope to

see a decrease in drug use
throughout the county.
If you take a look at our
overdose cases compared to
other communities, our community is significantly lower,
Parks says. All these programs together seem to have
an impact, and statistically
theyre showing it.
The drop boxes are available to the public around the
clock at the MSP Lapeer Post,
975 S. Main Street, Lapeer;
or the Lapeer County Jail

Drive, also in Lapeer.

was history.
The next eight minutes of
action would see Capac net
seven points and North
Branch generate five. That
staked Capac to a 17-9
cushion at the halftime
break.

Capac widened the gap even
more. Thanks to a 5-2 third
quarter edge, the Chiefs
pushed their lead to 22-11
with 24 minutes into the
record books.
Capac then outscored
North Branch 13-2 from that
point on, assuring themselves
of a 35-13 victory when the
final second ticked off the
clock.
Megan Jamison and
Dyman Huss proved Capacs
top scoring threats that day.
They finished with 16 and 13
points, respectively. Kristen
Payne (four points) and
Kelsey Payne (two) accounted for the remaining Chief
points.
Reese Ruhlman paced
North Branch. She wound up
with four points.

Dryden Alumni Game

is approaching
By Kevin Kissane
DRYDEN The Dryden

Alumni Basketball Night
will take place on Saturday,
January 30. The event is a
fundraiser for the Dryden
basketball program.
You do not have to play
in order to support the
basketball program, John
DelCampo, Drydens varsity
boys basketball coach, said.
We are going to have
free throw contests, threepoint contests, half-court
shots and a reception after
the game at the Dryden Vets
Hall, he noted.
Depending on the number
of participants there will be as
many as three games,
including a girls game.
Cheerleaders are encouraged
to attend.
The idea is to get

former players, fans, cheerleaders and the Dryden
community together to support our basketball program,
DelCampo said. Last years
event was a success but we
are looking to make it even
better, he noted.
Tickets may be purchased
in advance or at the door
for $5. The evening will
begin at 7 p.m. at Dryden
High School.
The game is limited to
players who have prepaid.
Deadline for paying is
January 15. The cost is $15
per player. This includes
playing in the game and a
game t-shirt.
For more information, or
to reserve your spot to play in
the game, please e-mail
coachdelcampo@aol.com or
call 586-918-3220.
