Three-hundred children in

Almont businesses
chip in to bring
turkey dinners to
area families
By Catherine Minolli
Spreading
the spirit
ALMONT Generosity
isnt anything new in Carla
Malcolms world.
As an employee of Aldez
and Everything Orgo in the
strip mall north of town, shes
familiar with the giving spirit
during the holidays. Malcolms
employers always call the good
folks at Almont Vineyard
Church, who help them choose
a family or two to adopt, to
spread a little Christmas spirit.
But this year, Malcolms
expectations were blown away
she made the call on behalf of
Aldez and Everything Orgo.
Malcolm learned there was an
immediate need in the churchs
food pantry for the
Thanksgiving
holiday. They
had 70 families in need
to serve, and
no turkeys to
provide for
their
Thanksgiving
tables.
Of
course, Aldez
and
Everything
Orgo got on
board. Malcolm decided to see
if other Almont businesses
would chip in for the cause
and the answer was a resounding yes.
There is so much generosity in this community, she says.
Everyone I went to wanted to
make sure that everyone who
uses the food pantry got a turkey. It was amazing.
Along with businesses,
Malcolm says anonymous individuals were also eager to help.
Several made donations while
she was making the rounds.
People who overheard me
offered to give ten dollars or
twenty dollars, and they did,
she says. I just want everyone
to know that there is so much
good in this community.
In all, local businesses and
individuals donated enough
funds to purchase 70 turkeys,
which were dropped off at
Vineyards food pantry on
Tuesday.
Along with Aldez and
I just
want
everyone to
know
there is
so much
good...

The results from the
November 8 election have
been certified by the Board

write-in campaigns are
now final.

a large margin. According
to the results from the

6,886
to
Holowkas
25,307.

two partial terms on the

grabs, Stacey Abromaitis
and current member Glenn
Hojnacki filed as valid
write-in
candidates.
Abromaitis earned 78
votes while Hojnacki
received 11. Giles received
1,590 votes meaning she
and Abromaitis will earn

Almont had write-in
options too.
Incumbents Tim Dyke
(708 votes) and Dave Love

ment as needed.
Then Trump told CNN
Money in August, we will
not cut Medicare or Social
Security benefits, but protect them both.
But here is Trumps
choice to staff the Social
Security Administration.
Mike Korbey. He has long
called Social Security broken and bankrupt. He was
hired by Bush to sell the
idea of privatization of
Social Security in 2005,
which fortunately failed to
pass. Social Security would
have tanked with the Stock
Market in 2008.
Trump will let this man
engineer a sell off of OUR
Social Security dollars to
Wall Street, where brokers
can gamble with them on
the stock market.
In 1930, when Social
Security was created, 50%
of senior citizens were living in poverty. Especially
with the rising cost of
health care, it is vital that
todays seniors have a reliable safety net. Privatization
is a way to tell seniors you
are on your own, and good
luck with Wall Street,
while giving our dollars
away.
Trump promised this
would not happen. He lied.

youre searching for a

Its the long lost relative you never met, but
whose crinkled, black and

comfort so familiar you
know theres an allegiance,
an alliance, a kinship.

Almont juniors
look toward future
Editors note: The following was submitted by
Sue Frederiksen, counselor at Almont High School.
She may be reached at
810-673-9207 or email to
sfrederiksen@
almontschools.org.
n Friday, November
11, 2016 Almont
High School partnered
with the Four County
Community Foundation
and Saginaw Valley State
University (SVSU) to take
58 juniors to visit the
campus. The purpose of
the visit was to allow students the opportunity to
be on a college campus
and explore what SVSU
has to offer. We wanted
our students to learn, from
academics to extra-curricular activities, from tutoring to class size, each student needs to visit several
colleges to find the right
fit for him/her.
As the students arrived
on campus they were
greeted by Anderson
Beardon, the SVSU
admission representative
who works specifically

that the 2016 campaign and election is over?
I have always liked politics
and public service. Ive
participated in every election since I voted for
Dwight D. Eisenhower
when I was in elementary
school in 1956. But this
year? Yikes. Ike probably
would have been appalled.

already been
said 100 times? Ive tried
to keep All the Liblong
Day non-controversial if I
could and there is nothing
I could have written that
would have added to the
public dialog and not have
been controversial.
So, I kept quiet and the
nation voted and elected
Donald J. Trump as
President. Well, he got
more Electoral Votes.
Looks like Hillary may
have won the popular vote.
But the Donald will be
the 45th President of the
United States.
Between now and
Inauguration Day here in
Washington on January 20,
2017 President-elect
Trump will be a busy man
choosing Cabinet members
and many other people to
serve in his Administration.
Not an easy task but all
Presidents do it.

My Defense Secretary
would be ol Blood and

Unable
to recall our

turned to my journals and
found my Christmas

day with the Juets!
Yes, I remembered our

caroling with our dear,

They hosted Kelly, my

IMLAY CITY
REV Group, the parent
company of Imlay Citys
Champion Bus, has filed
the necessary paperwork
with the feds to sell stock
on the public market.
Recently, REV submitted an S-1 form with the
Securities and Exchange
Commission, stating they
hope to generate up to
$100 million in their initial
public offering.
Earlier this year company officials made their
plans to go public.
According to their filing
with the SEC, REV sold
18,500 vehicles in 2015
and estimate 300,000 of
their units are in operation.
We believe this provides us with a competitive
advantage and recurring
replacement vehicle sales
as many customers are
brand-loyal and fleet owners frequently seek to standardize their in-service
fleets through repeat purchases of existing brands
and product configurations, they said.
That customer base is
diverse, they claim, saying

improvement has strengthened our brands and market position while driving
growth and expanding
margins, the filing stated.
This summer, company
headquarters relocated
from Orlando to Milwaukee
so as to be in closer proximity to their manufacturing facilities in the
Midwest.
Employees at the
Graham Road facility in
Imlay Township produce
light and medium duty
commercial buses under
the Champion brand name
and luxury commercial
buses under the Federal
Coach and Krystal brands.
The
locally-based
brands were acquired by
Allied Speciality Vehicles
(ASV) in August 2013
from Thor Industries.
In November 2014,
ASV announced the roll
out of its new corporate
name and identity, REV
Group Inc.
The
REV Group
encompasses 26 vehicle
brands under which they
manufacture and sell
ambulances, fire trucks,
recreational
vehicles,
mobility products and
more.
Overall, we remain
optimistic about our company-wide growth prospects for 2017 and remain
on track to achieve our
long-term operating margin
goal of 18 percent.
The Company also provided detailed guidance for
fiscal 2017 that includes
projected sales growth of 6
to 7 percent, gross margin
rate improvement of 50-100
basis points and SG&A
growth in line with sales.
Adjusted earnings per share
is expected between $4.10

information for 12 years.
The goal is to provide unbiased, science-based information that is practical and

The backbone of the

addition to the glyphosate
hybrid and variety trials,

The stable average price
reported this year by Farm

closely with the governments Consumer Price

The most recent CPI report
for food at home showed just
over a 2-percent decline over

again.
We truly miss fostering and may someday open
our home again once our
little ones are older,
Michelle said.
As tough as it was at
times, it was so rewarding
just to know we made a
difference in the life of a
child. We often think of the
kids weve had and pray
for them and their future.
Having been reminded
of the importance of family
through their fostering and
adoptive process, the
Schroeders dont scrimp
on time together.
They worship and minister together at Gateway
Assembly Church in Imlay
City where Michelle also
serves as churchs office
manager. Matt works at
CSBBank as an assistant
vice president and commercial loan officer.
No matter the season,
the Schroeders spend their
free time outdoors with
summers on the water
boating, tubing and wake
boardingand winters in
the snowskiing and sledding. Family game and
movie nights are regular
activities too.
For those considering
fostering, we highly
encourage it. There are so
many children waiting and
so few foster homes. It is
such a blessing to know
you helped a child,
Michelle said.
God has blessed our
family more than we ever
expected!
