Members of the Lapeer County Concert Choir at their December, 2016 Christmas concert.
Fifty and going strong
Lapeer County Concert Choir makes special plans to celebrate 50th season
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
TRI-CITY AREA
All former members and
directors of the Lapeer
County Concert Choir are
invited to join in a celebra-
tion of the Choirs 50th
anniversary.
Established by original
Director Jerry Pakkala in
1968, the choir was formed
through the merging of a
handful of Imlay City
church choirs.
From that humble
beginning, the group soon
became known for its
inspired sacred perfor-
mances including Bachs
Magnificant, Handels
Messiah, Rutters of the Imlay City perfor-
Requiem, and Mozarts mance are an anniversary
Regina Coeli.
With Pakkala at the
helm, the choir has attract-
ed thousands of people to
its concerts, particularly
during the Christmas sea-
son.
In 1997, the choir
changed its name to the
Lapeer County Concert
Choir and a series of out-
standing directors stepped
in to follow Pakkalas lead.
Among them were
John Ayers, Louis Canter,
Dr. David Pickett, Jennifer
Davis, Garth Starr and cur-
rent director Dr. Edward
Howell, who assumed the
directorship in 2016.
Reunion plans
Longtime Choir
President Judy Judd, who
serves as 50th Anniversary
Chair, is enthusiastic about
reuniting former members
and directors with the
choirs current member-
ship which numbers about
50.
Since the beginning,
our members have come
from Lapeer, St. Clair,
Genesee, Oakland,
Macomb and other coun-
ties, said Judd. The com-
mon thread is that we all
love music and we all love
to sing.
Judd said the current
choir continues to pursue
its mission of educating
the public and celebrating
the joy of music and sing-
ing with others.
Which means it is time
again to rehearse for the
upcoming fall season,
which includes two sched-
uled Christmas concerts.
They include a perfor-
mance at Lapeers
Immaculate Conception
Catholic Church on Friday,
Dec. 1; and a performance
and anniversary celebra-
tion at St. Pauls Lutheran
Church in Imlay City on
Sunday, Dec. 3 at 4 p.m. Graduation 2018

Chorus at the conclusion
of the Dec. 3 program.
Rehearsals to begin
Judd said rehearsals for
the 2017 concert season
begin Monday, Sept. 11 at
7 p.m. at Lapeers Trinity
United Methodist Church,
1310 North Main Street. she says.
She noted that all
rehearsals will take place
on Mondays from 7-9 p.m.
We want to get the
word out to former mem-
bers about the fall rehears-
als, said Judd. We are
extending an invitation to
all former members to join
us in rehearsals for the
future concerts.
The community choir
is open to all singers eigh-
teen or older. However,
youths between the ages of
13 and 18 who are profi-
cient music readers are eli-
gible to participate through
the Generation Dolores Jones, Cheryl
Connection program.
This program pairs
each youth with an adult
mentor from the choir.
Youth participants have the

Making connections
Liaison officer on the job in Almont school district
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
ALMONT After an
absence of several years,
Almont Schools is again
being served by a full-time
liaison police officer.
Police Chief Andrew
Martin said veteran
Almont Officer Amanda
Manning assumed her new
school liaison duties on
Monday, Aug. 28.
To ensure Manning is
properly trained for her
new position, the police
department has been the
recipient of two training
grants totaling $2,000
from the Four County
Community Foundation
and Lapeer County
Community Foundation.
Martin acknowledged

Icannot say enough children of my own,
about Lapeer County
Community Foundation
and Four County
Community Foundation
for what they have given
our community, said
Martin. With this grant,
they are helping the police
department give back to
the community through
education and mentoring
of students.
LCCF Director Nancy
Boxey said the shared
grant awards represent the
collaborative spirit that
exists between both foun-
dations, with the beneficia-
ries being the students and
the community.

for some time, said
Manning. I have four
including a five-year-old
son who is just starting
school.
Ilove working in
Almont and I dont want
to go anywhere else, she
continued. When this
opportunity arose, I
jumped at it.
Prepared for task
Manning believes she
has the experience, tem-
perament and education
required of the formerly
vacant school liaison posi-
tion.
In addition to serving
as an Almont police offi-
cer, Manning has spent the
past 10 years teaching
criminal justice classes at

both foundations for their
continued generosity and
support of Almont schools
and for ensuring the safety
of students.
The funding is being
utilized to send Officer
Manning to training so she
can better educate all stu-
dents in Almont
Community Schools, said
Martin. These funds are
specifically used for train-
ing.
Martin said Manning

Almont, Deerfield and Marathon townships filed a
claim of appeal with the state courts, asking that a

Judge Nick Holowka dismissed the suit filed by the
townships.
In March, the trio of townships sued Lapeer
County and Lapeer County EMS in an attempt to
halt the collection of monies from the one mill levy,
narrowly approved by voters the prior fall. In April,
Holowka denied the plaintiffs request to halt col-
lection of the four-year EMS millage but did allow
for an amended complaint to be filed regarding the
validity of the ambulance authority.
The townships lawyers argued the millage vio-
lated Michigan Election Law in that the proposal
was not clearly written and that it did not provide a

Our Opinion
Something for everyone Record funding greets area students
at Outdoor Weekend
T
heres no arguing that the Eastern
Michigan State Fairgrounds is a
jewel in the crown of Imlay City.
The prime acreage on the highly traveled
M-53 is a destination spot for people from
all around the state when it comes to Fair
time. And when the Woods-N-Water News
Outdoor Weekend arrives, the Fairgrounds
becomes a go-to spot for people from
across the state, Ohio and Indiana, and for
our neighbors to the north in Canada.
This weekend, the spotlight will again
shine on Imlay City as the 31st annual
Woods-N-Water News Outdoor weekend
kicks off on Friday evening at 5 p.m.
Widely known as Michigans premier
outdoor publication, Woods-N-Water News
was created right here in Imlay City in
1984 as an insert in the Tri-City Times.
From there, it has blossomed into one of
the most popular periodicals for sportsmen
and women, outdoor enthusiasts, and those
who love all of the amazing things that the
Great Lakes State has to offer.
Those amazing thingshunting, fish-
ing, hiking, boating, canoeing, camping,
climbing and morewill be represented at
the Outdoor Show, as will a wide varitety
of seminars, demonstrations, and activities
for people of all ages. Be sure to bring
your appetite, as a wide variety of food
will be available, as will all of the equip-
ment needed for the outdoor activity of
your choice. Need
a hunting compan-
ion, or a new fami-
ly pet? Youll find
that too at the
Outdoor
Weekends popular
Puppy Tent. You
can also show off
your dogs skills at
the fan favorite
Milt Wilcox
Ultimate Air Dogs
challenge. Step
back in time with
Civil War reenac-
tors and their
camp, blacksmith-
ing and antique and rustic tool demonstra-
tions. As always, admission is just $8 and
includes parking. Children 12 and under
are admitted free.
If youve never visited the Woods-N-
Water Outdoor Weekend, check it out and
be amazed. The show offers something for
everyone, and has become a favorite event
for families.
The show has become the subject of
numerous big media stories highlighting
Imlay City and the Fairgrounds, and is cov-
ered by print, broadcast and television
media across the state.
As our sister publication, were proud
that Woods-N-Water News is known as
Michigans premier outdoor publication,
and that the Outdoor Weekend is among
the premier events that putand keep
Imlay City on the map.
See you there!

Letters from our readers...
School districts across
Michigan will soon open
their doors for a new year
following the summer
break, and they will be in
line for a record amount of
state school aid.
All K-12 schools in
Lapeer County will receive
an additional $120 per stu-
dent in state funding in the
coming fiscal year, which
is twice the base amount of
$60 per pupil. That added
amount is being allocated
to bridge a funding gap
between rural schools and
wealthier, urban districts.
Schools in more rural
areas have been under-
funded for years, and the
Legislature has recently
begun sending more state
money to those districts to
make up for earlier short-
ages. Its important that we
invest in a good education
for all children in the state
so they have a promising
future, be it going to col-
lege or directly entering
the workforce after gradu-

Taking learning to its Summit

Dryden Schools to participate in Summit Learning Program
DRYDEN This fall,
Dryden Junior/Senior High
School will be one of only
seven schools in the state of
Michigan to participate in
the Summit Learning
Program.
Summit Public Schools
was founded in 2003 in
Redwood City, California,
with the mission to prepare
a diverse student popula-
tion for college, career, and
life, and to be thoughtful,
contributing members of
society.
Partnering with
Facebook, Summit built a
personalized learning pro-
gram to increase student
success. In 2017, the Chan
Zuckerberg Initiative
became Summits long-
term engineering partner.
Developed by teachers,
the Summit Learning
Program is a free online
tool that powers teaching
and learning. It helps stu-
dents set and track goals,
learn content at their own
pace, and complete deeper
learning projects.
This years eighth grade
class at Dryden Junior/
Senior High School will be
the first students in Lapeer
County to experience the
Summit Learning Platform,
with hopes of expansion in
future years.
Students are able to move
at their own pace and learn
how they best learn because
they have different options
to learn the same informa-
tion. Unlike in traditional
classrooms, they arent
pushed too far ahead of
what they are ready for, nor
bored because they already
know it. Eighth grade stu-
dents will receive their own
Chromebooks to aid in their
mastery of the Summit

Hellner of Lapeer
has Multiple Sclerosis.
Although she was diag-
nosed with Relapsing
Remitting MS when she
was 38-years-old, she
believes she has had MS
symptoms since high
school, but didnt know
that is what it was.
Her daily challenge is
getting past two oclock
when the fatigue really
starts to set it. She
explains, Around this
time every day it feels as
worsen her symptoms,
especially the fatigue.
Rest, medications, and
acupuncture help her
manage her symptoms.
Every year Wendy
participates in a walk for
MS. More than the
money raised, she deeply
appreciates the support
and encouragement she
receives from those who
participate in the MS
walks. She wants to
encourage those who are
diagnosed with MS to
keep doing what they are
able to do and to hold
onto hope. Wendy looks
forward to the day when
researchers can figure out
a cure for MS.
Lapeer County will be
hosting its third annual
5K MS Walk and Fun
Run. The MS Walk will
be held on September

Curriculum is standards-

All students learn in differ-

teacher summarize infor-

Clover toxicity in fall pastures
TRI-CITY AREA
While fresh summer pas-
tures may provide your
wallet some temporary
relief with lower feed and
hay bills, fall is quickly
approaching. The cooler,
wetter weather provides the
perfect breeding ground for
clover and, unknowingly,
the fungi and toxins that
may come with it.
The most typical fun-
gus to infect clover is
Rhizoctonia leguminicola.
More commonly known as
black patch for the bronze
to black spots it creates on
the stems and leaves, the
fungus is likely to be found
on either white or red clo-
ver. The clover plants
themselves are non-toxic
and it is the fungus that
contains the toxin slafram-
ine that causes the undesir-
able symptoms in horses.
Slaframine is known to
stimulate the salivary
glands of a horse and lead
to an excessive amount of
drooling, or the slobbers.
While it is a nuisance and
rather unpleasant, the con-
dition is not life threaten-
ing. The toxin slaframine
can be found in pasture or
dried hay. Once identified,
the fungus can be effec-
tively destroyed by remov-
ing the horses from the
infected pastures, mowing
down the affected spots and
using a pasture-friendly
broad leaf herbicide to
eliminate any remaining
Clover grows quickly in cool, wet weather. Horse owners are encouraged
to closely monitor whats growing and what their animals are eating.

signs of fungus.
Another clover likely
to grow in your pastures as
fall weather begins is alsike
clover. Although similar-
looking to other clovers,
alsike clover can be identi-
fied by its flowers, which
are dark pink at the base
and light pink towards the
tip. Unlike the relatively
non-toxic red and white
clovers, alsike clover is
known to cause two more
serious conditions in hors-
es: photosensitization and
big liver syndrome.
The toxin in alsike clo-
ver that causes these two
severe conditions remains
u n i d e n t i f i e d .
Photosensitization occurs
with short-term exposure
and clinically appears to
look like sunburn that
becomes crusty, dies and
may slough off entirely.
Horses that remain inside
for the day or are blanketed
while outside may not show
these more typical symp-
toms and, in these cases,
photosensitization can
present as oral lesions,
diarrhea and even colic.
Long-term exposure to
the alsike clover may lead
to big liver syndrome,
which is the progressive
destruction of the liver.
Symptoms of liver failure
due to alsike clover con-
sumption include loss of
appetite, weight loss,
depression, jaundice, colic
and death. It goes without

saying that if you observe
any of these changes in
your horse, contact a veter-
inarian immediately
because liver failure is
often fatal.
With fall weather comes
changes in pasture vegeta-
tion and you should always
be on the look out for sig-
nificant clover growth.
Pasture management plans
should be reviewed annual-
ly, especially if you contin-
ue to notice a problem with
toxic plant growth. The
easiest way to prevent your
horses from consuming
toxic plants is to know what
you grow and watch what
your horses eat.

plant species, Michigan

are as follows:

Weight loss group is TOPS
Local group celebrates its 50th year of helping members reach goals

TRI-CITY AREA
The Lapeer-based group
TOPS (Take Off Pounds

50th anniversary on
Monday, August 14.
Fifty is golden, says
third-year member and
group leader, Nancy
Sweeten of Dryden. Few
things last fifty years. Its
an accomplishment for the
TOPS program to be
around this long. Also, its
a statement of testimonial
for the members of this
group. Throughout the
years they have been
involved, they have found
that the program works.
TOPS is a weight-loss
support organization with
networks in Canada and
the United States. TOPS is
non-profit and non-com-
mercial. The corporation
founded in 1948 has
gained more than 125,000
members.
Open to any age,
weight, or gender, the
Lapeer-based group
makes up 27 of these

ALMONT From
high school co-captain to
division one dance team
member, 2017 Almont
graduate Hannah Miles is
experiencing lots of suc-
cess.
As a freshman at Kent
State University, she is
majoring in fashion design
while performing along-
side her fellow Kent State
dance team members.
Miles was a four-year
member of the Almont
High School dance team,
serving as one of the cap-
tains her senior year. In
addition, Miles was a four-
year member of student
council, served as her
classs vice-president, and
was a two-year member of
the National Honor
Society, where she served
as president in her senior
year.
Miles was also a mem-
ber of Rachels Challenge,
a group dedicated to pro-
viding a positive learning
environment for students,
for four years.
Growing up in Almont
has given me many leader-
ship opportunities and
formed me into the person
I am today, says Miles. I
owe a lot of my success to
my teachers, coaches and
family back home.
Success is not some-
thing Miles is short of. She
is a part of the third-ranked
fashion design program in
the nation at Kent State. In

game at Capac will be
another tough BWAC test.
We will have to play a
great game to beat them.
In Thursdays meeting,
Almont and Algonac
ended quarter number one
with seven points apiece.
Quarter two saw
Algonac collect 14 points
and Almont manage none,
giving them a 21-7 advan-
tage at the halftime break.
That was followed by
a scoreless third quarter.
Algonac then out-
scored Almont 7-0 the rest
of the way, finishing off a
28-7 win.
Almont produced their
seven-point output courte-
sy of a Jace Rinke 29-yard
touchdown run (followed
by an accurate extra point

For the evening, Clay
Schapman connected on
two of 12 pass plays for 19
yards as Almonts quarter-
back. He threw zero inter-
ceptions along the way.
Max Brombach was
the other Almont player
who opted to air out the
football. His lone attempt
went for a 10-yard com-
pletion.
Chase Kapron had
both of Almonts recep-
tions.
The Almont ground
attack managed 164 yards
on 43 totes.
Individually,
Schapman (nine rushes for
43 yards) and Rinke (40
yards on seven totes) head-
lined. The remaining 27

combined 81-yard gain.

made their presence felt as
well.
