prove that a child’s educational journey is
more challenging if they come from a father-

Supt. Dr. Stu Cameron and Principal
Megan Cottone shared those facts and fig-
ures at the August 27 school board meeting
as part of their introduction to a new mentor-
ship program being launched at Borland
Elementary School this fall, Watch DOGS
(Dads of Great Students).
Cameron said research on the national
level shows 71 percent of high school drop-
outs come from fatherless homes. Females
who come from fatherless homes or have no
engaged male role models in their lives are
more likely to be in a marriage where nei-
ther spouse has a high school diploma.

Gateway again shows the love

‘This Heart Loves
Food Pantry’
grand opening
is September 8
By Catherine Minolli
cminolli@pageone-inc.com

IMLAY CITY — Gateway

Assembly is again showing its
love for the community with the
addition of it’s ‘This Heart Loves
Food Pantry,’ slated for its grand
opening this Saturday, September
8 at 9 a.m.
Mission program assistant
Kayleigh Hayward says the new
pantry is client-based, and also
features hygiene and personal care
items.
A client-based pantry is
unique, Hayward says, because
visitors can choose what they need
most for themselves.
“Client-based means that
when people come in, they don’t
just get a box of food, they get a

certain amount of points depend-
ing on their needs,” Hayward
explains.
“They can then use those
points as currency to shop depend-
ing on their own needs.”
Hayward says first-time visi-
tors will be able to shop from the
pantry, no questions asked. At that
time, visitors will receive some
forms to fill out and return on their
next visit.
Gateway created the ‘This

“This is not an Imlay

said.
“We can’t change soci-

the environment we have.”
That’s where the Watch
DOGS program comes in.
Currently the district is

anyone else wanting to be

in a school setting to vol-

day at Borland—home to
the district’s third, fourth
and fifth grades.
At a minimum Watch
DOGS participants will be
asked to commit to one full
day per school year.
They’ll be asked to greet
students, help lead the
Pledge of Allegiance, help
in classrooms, patrol hall-
ways, eat lunch in the cafe-
teria, play on the play-
ground, assist with bus
loading and more.
“We’re really looking
forward to it,” Cottone
said.
“We’ve already had 25
to 30 dads sign up at our
open house.”
All volunteers will
need to submit to a back-
ground check and be asked
to purchase, for a nominal
fee, a Watch DOGS t-shirt
that will make them identi-
fiable to kids and parents.
Cottone said Borland’s
Parent-Teacher
Organization has helped
offset the cost of the shirts.
Male volunteers will be asked to interact with elementary students in

viewed as an enemy of
mankind. Yet Donald
Trump won the election.
Shouldn’t that be some
indication that a large
number of citizens are fed
up with “reaching across
the aisle” when it means
giving up on every core
belief that one has.
My view of “reaching
across the aisle” is that
both sides give up some-
thing and end up with an
imperfect result (as far as
either side is concerned)
but one that moves the
country forward and works
towards a positive solution
to whatever problem is
being dealt with. One
should never let the perfect
be the enemy of the good.
However when one tells
me that they want me to
compromise and by that
they mean “do it their
way” my response is “go
pound sand.” There will be
no reaching across that
aisle. I think President
Trump has a similar view
and that endears him to the
common folk.

Lavender Fest coming to Imlay City
Visitors enjoy all things lavender at last year’s Michigan Lavender
Festival at Blake’s Orchard in Armada. The 2019 festival will take place
at the Eastern Michigan State Fairgrounds in Imlay City.
Fairgrounds to host 17th annual event July 11-13

IMLAY CITY —
Lavender lovers, mark your
calendars for July 11-13,
2019 for the 17th Annual
Michigan Lavender
Festival at the Eastern
Michigan State
Fairgrounds.
Bizon grateful for campaign support
TRI-CITY AREA —
Now that the dust has set-
tled from the Aug. 7 pri-
mary, U.S. 10th District
Congressional candidate
Kimberly Bizon has been
catching her breath while
strategizing her next steps
for the general election
slated for Nov. 6.
“I am very excited and
honored to be the
Democratic nominee going
into the General Election,”
Bizon, D-Lexington, said.
“Of course, I couldn’t have
done this without a lot of
help.”
Bizon came out on top
in the primary, soundly
defeating challengers Frank
Accavitti Jr. and Michael
McCarthy. She is facing
Republican U.S. Rep. Paul
Mitchell in November.
“I really need to thank
all of the wonderful volun-
teers who worked to make
this happen. From phone

“I have some sad

we know is that there was

Event organizers say
the popular festival cen-
tered around the aromatic
herb has outgrown its prior
location at Blake’s Orchard
on Armada Center Road in
Armada.
The move is a perfect
fit, organizers say, as the
Fairgrounds is just a short
distance away from the

cards, knocking on doors,
and marching in parades

said. “But in the end, I

heart for having the faith in
casting your vote for me.”
The U.S. 10th
Congressional District
stretches to the top of the
Thumb, west to Lapeer, and
south to include northern
Macomb County.
Bizon said she wants to
thank her opponents for
their excellent primary
campaigns.
“I want to thank Frank
Accavitti and Michael
McCarthy for their dedica-
tion to the Democratic
Party and its mission,” she
said. “They are both honor-

he was 75. And he very
literally died with his

Which is kind of a
weird thing to say about
him, considering that how
I was thinking to describe
him is to say he was about
as common and ordinary
as a pair of well-worn
work boots. Really! And I
think he would have
described himself that way
too if anyone would have
asked him.

shops, demonstrations,
food, essential oil demon-
strations and more.
Referred to as “a true
Symphony for the Senses,”
the lavender fest is a “Made
in Michigan” event as well,
featuring more than 150
Michigan artists, crafters
and local farms.
Visitors can also take
part in lavender workshops,
wellness classes, and more.
Those who shuttle to
Indigo Lavender Farm will
have an opportunity to
hand-pick fresh lavender,
take photos, and check out
Indigo’s wide variety of
lavender-infused products.
The 2019 Michigan
Lavender Festival will run
from 4-8 p.m. on Thursday,

here’s what his son had to

“Fly high, Dad. Say Hi to

smoked.
I loathed
the stench of cigarettes.
She ratted her red shoul-
der-length hair. I wore my
mousy brown cut short.
She drank her tea black. I
drank mine with milk.
Her cigarette poised
between two fingers,
Nellie declared, “What?
Are you crazy? Nobody
drinks tea with milk!”
Had I one British
neighbor or been better

tered, “Tell that to the

Appalachian roots, what
did I know? My granny

She wouldn’t approve of
Nellie’s thick makeup and
profanity.
Yes, my first roommate
intimidated me at times. A
comedian, she joked about
life in Indian River, the
northern hamlet famous
for the giant crucifix.
I’d never heard of
Indian River or its cruci-
fix. “How big is it?”
Nellie laughed. “How
should I know? I’ve never
seen it.”
She must be kidding. I
determined to see for
myself the largest Jesus on
the largest cross in the
world.

One night I heard
Nellie crying in her
sleep—a broken-hearted
whimper. A sound sleeper
from a household of seven
family members, I’d never
heard anyone cry in bed.
Poor Nellie. She wept
with her back to me and
didn’t move a muscle.
Should I ask what was
wrong, if there was any-
thing I could do to help?
Not a good idea. That
would embarrass Nellie.
So I prayed for my room-
mate and never revealed
I’d heard her cry.
Later, in a rare, tender
moment, Nellie confided
her boyfriend had jilted
her.
“Mine did too.”
Afterward, she invited
me to visit with her and
her older, married sister.
We drank tea together.
Black.
Years later, Nellie wel-
comed me into her home
in Mt. Pleasant. I turned
the pages of her wedding
album. She married a local
Tuma of The Embers fami-
ly. I had waitressed for the
fine restaurant as a student
and was glad to see Nellie
settled and content.
“Iris, I always felt
sh#&&y when I stole your
snacks with the other
girls,” Nellie confessed.
I had forgotten.
Several years later,
Nellie died in a car crash.
These intimate memo-
ries lay mute until last
Friday. In earnest, I sat
before the Cross in the
Woods in Indian River.
There, with the blue sky
and white clouds a back-
drop to Jesus’ suffering, I
saw Nellie at her desk in
our dorm room. She
laughed with a lit cigarette.
I heard her cry in the
night.
Dear Reader, I now see
we were more alike than
we knew to admit. Lonely,
broken, and seeking true
love, neither of us had a
grasp on the world.
That’s why the Cross.

IMLAY CITY —
Students and staff at Imlay
City Christian School got a
head start on the 2018-19
school year, reporting for
the first day of classes on
August 21. Now already in
ment of teacher Melanie
Kampman, who “wore

“It’s a great option
because it’s a unique lan-

another career opportunity

Outside of the school
day, staff and families have
many plans for the fall.
On Sept. 14, they’ll
come together for a Back to

Township Park. One
Saturday in September,
they’ll host a farmers mar-

Hibbler said.
She said school staff
and families are continually
grateful for the communi-

out the last school year with
a wildly successful spring
auction and trust that they’ll

Capac road trip to Caro ends in loss
By Kevin Kissane
Tri-City Times Sports Editor
CAPAC — Capac
absorbed a 57-14 loss to
host Caro in a non-league
varsity football game last
Thursday night.
With the result, Caro
improves to 1-1 overall.
Capac falls to 0-2 this sea-
son.
In Thursday’s game,
Caro jumped out to a 14-0
advantage after one quar-
ter.
Almont will remain unbeaten this week
After a slow start to
the season, I am proud to
say I went 2-1 this past
week.
With three games slat-
ed again, I plan to show
improvement again and
post a 3-0 showing during
week number three.
Here is a look at this
week’s contests and the
teams I believe should win
them:
Football...
Algonac at Almont
Make no mistake
about it this Friday’s Blue
Water Area Conference
battle between Algonac
and host Almont at 7 p.m.
is the game I would sug-
gest seeing.
And reason for attend-
ing the is simple, it pits a
pair of ballclubs that
should be in the running
for league honors when all
is said and done.
Raiders: Almont proves too much for Imlay City, wins 49-0
from page 1-B
“We had a good week
of practice and it showed
in the way the team exe-
cuted the game plan. Next
Friday we will face our
biggest test of the year so
far when Algonac visits.
They are extremely fast
and physical, having one
of the best defenses year in
year out. Algonac also has
an offense that is tough to
prepare for due to the fact
it is tough for us to mimic
in our practices.”
On the opposite side-
line, Imlay City Coach
Brian Tresnak had this take
on the contest.
“We played well in the
first half other than two big
lapses in coverage defen-
sively,” Tresnak said.
“Offensively, we need to
work on getting a good
push up front and make
sure the backs are recog-
nizing the holes,” he noted.
“We have come a long
way since the start of prac-
tice and I am proud of the
effort from the team, even
in the face of adversity.
We are going to keep
working to get better each
week.”
In Thursday’s matchup,
Almont grabbed a 7-0 edge
after one quarter was done.
The middle two quar-
ters saw Almont accumu-
late 35 total points and
Imlay City manage none.
That staked them to a 42-0
cushion with 36 minutes
