Woman killed by stray bullet

21-year-old Riley Twp. man could face charges
By Maria Brown
mbrown@pageone-inc.com
RILEY TWP. — A funeral
mass will be held on Tuesday,
April 3, in Allenton for the vic-
tim of Sunday’s accidental
shooting.
An obituary for Shirley
Pfeil says the 73 year-old was a
member of St. John the
Evangelist Catholic Church and
its altar society and spent 25
years as the church’s house-
keeper. Services will be held at
the church on Tuesday morning
before she’s laid to rest in the
East Berlin Cemetery.
The circumstances sur-
rounding Pfeil’s sudden death
have garnered media headlines
across the state and beyond.
According to the Michigan
State Police’s Lt. David Kaiser,
Pfeil was killed on Sunday
when she was struck by a stray
bullet inside her Dunn Road
home. A 21 year-old Riley
Township man who was target
practicing at the time could be
charged in the incident.
Troopers were called to
Pfeil’s residence in the 13000
block of Dunn Road around
12:45 p.m. after Pfeil’s husband
called 911. He told police that
they were in the kitchen area of
their home when he heard a
loud crack and his wife col-
lapsed to the floor.
“She was transported by
ambulance to a local hospital
where she was deceased,”
Kaiser said.
Troopers determined that
the 21 year-old male at a resi-
dence southwest of Pfeil’s
home had been target practicing
at the time the victim was
struck by a bullet.
“It appears one of the
rounds fired during practice
entered her home and struck
and killed her,” Kaiser said.
Kaiser said the suspect has
been cooperative with police.
He was interviewed on Sunday
by investigators but is not in
police custody.
Multiple weapons in the
man’s custody were seized by Shirley Pfeil died Sunday
police. Kaiser said he didn’t after being struck by a
stray bullet that entered

Do you own Imlay’s House of the Month?

Code enforcement officer creates

By Tom Wearing

IMLAY CITY — Joe
Schierlinger, the city’s new
Code Enforcement Officer,
wants to acknowledge resi-

Schierlinger says that
beginning Sunday, April 1,
a designated team of five
observers will take to the
streets in search of well-
kept homes and properties.
Each month, one home
will be identified as meet-
ing certain criteria and be
honored as Imlay City’s
‘House of the Month.’
Those criteria include a
well-kept house; snow and
debris cleaned from side-
walk and driveway; no cars
parked on lawns; and well-
maintained lawns and flow-

erties looking nice.
“There are a lot of
beautiful houses in this

“Many others could look
just as good with a little
extra care.”
That little extra care can
include cutting the lawn,
not parking on lawns, clean-

general maintenance.
Schierlinger realizes
some residents may have

Clarity about position on transparency

C larity. It’s described as “the
quality of being clear; the
quality of coherence and intelli-
gibility; the quality of being easy
to see or hear, the sharpness of
image or sound;” and finally “the
quality of transparency or puri-
ty.”
I love those definitions; those
descriptors. Every. Single. One.
To be clear, transparent, easy
to see, and pure is a high aspira-
tion, a lofty and attainable goal.
Better still, a way of life.
Being clear and transparent
is what I advocated for in last
week’s editorial regarding the
latest attempt by one of our state
representatives—State Rep. Gary
Glenn—to chip away at the dark-
ness that is Michigan’s transpar-
ency laws—or should I say lack
of transparency laws.
Michigan is one of just two
states in the nation where the
governor and state legislators’
are exempt from Freedom of
Information Act inquiries.
This has been a troubling issue
for a very long time for members
of the press, of
the Michigan
Press
Association,
and for taxpay-
ers in general
who want to
know how, say,
the situation
with Flint water
Observations in ink...
unfolded into a Catherine Minolli
crisis, or who
their particular
representative is communicating
with, how much and how often
and to what end, etc. a timely and cost-effective man-
It seems if business is being
conducted above board and in
the best interests of the constitu-
ents who elected the governor
and state reps into office, there’d
be no problem opening up the
inboxes and correspondence files
(if they don’t threaten security or
involve sensitive employee
issues).
In this age of conspiracy the-
ories flying across the internet,
infecting social media like an
epidemic, one would think elect-
ed officials would want to make
sure that voters know those con-
spiracies aren’t true; that they’re
not beholden to the numerous
powerful lobbyists who represent
a number of self-serving inter-
ests. You’d also think that they’d
be eager to share whatever they
can about how they’re working
toward protecting the environ-
ment, making the public school
system better, improving the
business climate, etc. You’d
think they’d want local govern-
ments to provide information in
ner when they’re met with a
FOIA request.
Thus, last week’s editorial
noting that Glenn’s legislation to
require local governments to
respond to FOIA requests within
60 days (currently there is no
time limit, thus making the
whole thing moot).
Glenn’s proposed bill caught
the attention—and approval—of
some improbable sources who’ve
long pushed for changes in the
state’s FOIA laws, myself
included. Even former Metro
Times columnist Jack
Lessenberry—who is now the
senior political analyst for
Michigan Radio—voiced his
approval of Glenn’s move, call-
ing him an “unlikely hero.”
Why? Because Gary Glenn’s
anti-homosexual views are well
known. He’s been accused of
being a hate monger, particularly
after his hometown newspaper—
the Midland Daily News—pro-
moted an openly gay man to the
position of news editor. After
some backlash from his commu-
nity, Glenn apologized for his
social media posts.
Gary Glenn, Todd Courser
and Cindy Gamrat were buddies
back in the day—sharing reputa-
tions and an onslaught of press
as the most conservative in the
House—until Courser’s ‘inocu-
late the herd’ behavior was
exposed. Glenn’s extreme con-
servatism, particularly on social
issues, is something I cannot
relate to, and it’s important to me
to be clear about this.
I do, however, agree with his
proposed FOIA bill. It’s likely he
knew by proposing the legisla-
tion, he’d garner some approval
for it from unlikely sources—I
think that’s clear, too. I also want
to make it clear that Gary Glenn
and former 82nd District State
House Rep. Kevin Daley are
vying for the same Senate seat—
the 31st district which includes
Bay, Tuscola and Lapeer coun-
ties. The seat’s currently held by
Senator Mike Green, who was
given quite a run for his money
by Daley in 2014, winning by
less than 1,000 votes.
It is a long-held policy to not
endorse candidates here, and it’s
important to me to be clear that
last week’s editorial was in no
way, shape or form an endorse-
ment of someone I have so little
in common with—except when
it comes to transparency in gov-
ernment. I hope that’s crystal
clear.

doing when the exercise thought
struck me.
For years though, I was a regular
with the group, Mike Powers, Marv
Bentham, Andy Pawlaczyk, Mick
Sharrard and my brother-in-law Tom
Campbell. Some who are still play-
ing today and, I’m told, play very
well to this day.
Now and then at the office, I
hear Tom say with a mild moan,
“Guess who showed up for ball this
morning? And guess who had to
guard him?” Careful now, no age
jokes from me.
The notion of running the court
left me long ago when the pounding
on my already stressed knee joints
made getting up the next day a strug-
gle.
The problem is not simply that I
foolishly keep getting older. The
problem is in spite of the craze for
fitness and the need for fitness, I no
longer plunge into sports with the
total, flat-out, slightly insane zeal I
once had. In part because of the
many aches and pains from the exer-
cise itself.
As good as it
would feel to get
a sweat going
again, it wouldn’t
be the same game
for me. Yes, it
certainly would
be great to jog up
and down the
court, but I know Randy
I can no longer
play team sports. Jorgensen
There would
clearly be more coordination in my
outfits than my jump shot.
A good example of this now van-
ished zeal for sports and condition-
ing came from my early years. When
I was younger, I lived sports the way
few young people do today. On a
typical summer morning, I got up,
washed my face, had a hearty break-
fast, did chores and then went to
meet my friends. I was full of a lust
for all-day competition. Today that
seems to have disappeared for so
many of our kids. Instead, their
minds and bodies turn to custard
playing video games in front of a TV
at home.
In my day, when my friends and
I set out for a full day of competi-
tion, it meant all day long. It didn’t
matter if we were playing basketball,
baseball, football, swimming or
chasing critters in the woods, it was
eight or nine hours, no breaks. And
everything was a competition with
my friends. We wanted to see who
could kick the football the farthest,
swim faster, or who hit the most
home runs.
When my friends and I played
the only time someone stopped play-
ing was when you began to lose your
pulse. And then you became referee.
Because of the intensity and
duration of such competition, I was
in wonderful shape to play organized
sports in high school and college.
All of this brings me to a conver-
sation I had with Mick Sharrard, for-
merly of Imlay City. Mick is a good
example of someone who still has
that zest for team sports and fitness.
Mick, a few years my senior, still
keeps himself in remarkable shape,
and can still play the game of basket-
ball.
I recall telling Mick of my
aches and pains. I told him they
were with me whether I exercised
or not.
“You know, I have the same
aches and pains, so I realized it was
better to exercise and keep the ol’
ticker healthy rather than just sit
around and wait for another ache or
pain to appear,” Mick told me.
He was right of course, I too
have come to realize that if a person
sustained some of this intensity for
sports and exercise, he would be in
better shape in his later years. Mick
is one of the masters of this.
“I’ve found out if I don’t exer-
cise, I will not be able to counteract
the effects of time,” Mick went on to
say.
Since then, I have had my share
of pain from the years of inactivity.
In fact, I've realized life will become
one long, quiet injury without activi-
ty. And I will begin to hear sounds in
my body that belong in a car that is
being recalled.
A man shouldn’t tick and click
when he gets up in the morning. Nor
should he get out of his chair with a
grunt.
So I guess I should begin to
exercise again, even if I don’t do it
very well anymore.

Farmers for Monarchs seeks to bolster conservation efforts

TRI-CITY AREA —
Farmers For Monarchs, a
broad-based collaboration
aimed at addressing on-
farm conservation efforts,
has been launched. This
unprecedented, united
effort by farmers, ranchers,
landowners, the agriculture
industry, conservation
Every fall, monarch
butterflies migrate up to
3,000 miles, from the upper
Midwest to Mexico, to
spend the winter. Upon
their return in the spring,
monarchs need milkweed
plants along the migration
route to lay their eggs, as it
is the only source of food
ners in Farmers For
Monarchs.
“Farmers are always
seeking win-win solutions,
and this initiative fits the
bill. Finding innovative
ways to provide habitat for
beneficial species, includ-
ing birds, bees, and other
pollinators, fits with our

groups and others seeks to
encourage and enable the
voluntary expansion and
establishment of pollinator
and conservation habitat.
The initiative includes
planting milkweed and
other habitat along the
monarch butterfly seasonal
migration route in North
America.
“This is a unique
moment in time for pollina-
tor health and populations.
There are many factors
impacting declines in mon-
arch population; loss of
habitat is one of them,” said
Peter S. Berthelsen, The
Bee & Butterfly Habitat
Fund Partnership
Coordinator.
“That’s why farmers
can make a huge difference
by identifying the opportu-
nities within their current
farm and ranch operation
that can benefit and support
their habitat needs.”
Spring outlook: Expect warm, wet weather
TRI-CITY AREA —
Forecasters with the
National Oceanic and
A t m o s p h e r i c
Administration says
Michigan can expect a wet-
ter and warmer-than-nor-
mal spring.
“It is most likely to be
wetter-than-average for
their young will eat.
Monarch butterflies face
many challenges that have
contributed to a significant
decline in the overwinter-
ing population as compared
to the 20-year average: loss
of breeding and food habi-
tats along their migration
route, weather and climate
change, predators, patho-
gens and parasites, and less
overwintering habitat in
Mexico.
“Farmers For Monarchs
is among the broadest vol-
untary efforts to date aimed
at connecting farmers and
ranchers to the education
and resources they need to
leverage the benefits of
planting and restoring pol-
linator and conservation
habitats, including milk-
weed, on their lands,” said
Chris Novak, CEO of the
National Corn Growers
Association (NCGA), one
of more than a dozen part-
the probability of a warmer
than normal spring is
between 40 and 50 percent.
“Whether it's an emer-
gency manager dispatching
resources ahead of possible
flooding or accurate predic-
tions of river flows and
water levels to ensure safe
navigation on waterways,
goals of balancing econom-
ic and environmental sus-
tainability.”
U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Services (USFWS) is cur-
rently evaluating monarch
conservation efforts along
the migration route. In June
2019, it will determine its
final listing decision of the
monarch and, possibly, its
habitat, under the
Endangered Species Act. A
listing could potentially
impact the way farmers
manage their land in the
future. Voluntary efforts to
establish and restore mon-
arch habitat could lead to
reversing population loss-
es, potentially rendering a
listing unnecessary.
Farmers For Monarchs
stresses the importance to
farmers and ranchers of
establishing and expanding
monarch habitat in the 2018
and 2019 growing seasons
so these efforts can factor

State’s honey production drops
ACROSS MICHIGAN — The United States Department of Agriculture reports
that our state’s honey production dropped 27 percent in 2017. As a result, Michigan’s
honey stocks and average production numbers per colony also took a dive.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service’s Great Lakes Region office doesn’t
give a reason for the decline. Their report uses data collected from producers with
five or more colonies.
They say that the 87,000 colonies in production in 2017 averaged 45 pounds of
honey, a decline from the 60 pounds recorded in 2016. Honey stocks dropped by 52
percent to stand at 822,000 pounds. The state’s ranking for honey production was
also hurt, with Michigan falling from eighth to ninth place.
Fortunately, the average price per pound went up four cents to stand at $2.41.

Vocalist of the Year
Academy of Western Artists honors
Bob Marshall at March 15 event
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
ALMONT — Given
the claim that he “never
met a man he didn’t like,”
Will Rogers and Country
Western musician Bob
Marshall would likely have
become fast friends.
Their entertainment
careers varied and never
overlapped, but both men
had/have a talent for spin-
ning yarns and telling sto-
ries.
It’s fitting then, that
Marshall was recently
named Best Male Vocalist
of the Year at the 22nd
Annual “Will Rogers
Award Ceremony.”
Marshall, who has roots
in Almont, was honored on
Almont’s Bob Marshall March 15 by the Academy
with ‘Male Vocalist of of Western Artists in Fort
the Year’ award. Worth, Texas.

Though nominated for
the award the past three
years, it was Marshall’s
first win in the category.
“It was a very special
moment for me,” said
Marshall. “I have so many
to thank for this award.”
The honor comes on
the heels of the singer/
songwriter’s October 2017
album release, entitled
“Screen Door,” which was
hailed as the year’s Best
Album by The Business of
Country Music.
A single from the
album, “Halo and Noose,”
received significant airplay
by Country/Western DJs in
the U.S., Europe, South
America and Japan.

2017 WATER QUALITY

REPORT FOR
CITY OF
IMLAY CITY
This report covers the drinking water quality for the City of Imlay City for the calendar year 2017. This informa-
tion is a snapshot of the quality of water we provided to you in 2017. Included are details about where your water
comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards.
The City of Imlay City purchases its water from the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA).GLWA operates a
water treatment plant north of Port Huron from which we receive our water via a 72” transmission line. Drinking
water quality is important to our community and the region. The City of Imlay City and the GLWA are committed to
meeting state and federal water quality standards including the Lead and Copper Rule. With the Great Lakes as our
water source and proven treatment technologies, the GLWA consistently delivers safe drinking water to our commu-
nity. The City of Imlay City operates the system of water mains that carry this water to your home’s service line. This
year’s Water Quality Report highlights the performance of GLWA and the City of Imlay City’s water professionals in
delivering some of the nation’s best drinking water. Together, we remain committed to protecting public health and
maintaining open communication with the public about our drinking water.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts
of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.
More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental
Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800-426-4791).
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reser-
voirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-
occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence
of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic
systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm
water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water
runoff, and residential uses.

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organics, which are by-products of industrial
processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and septic
systems.

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and
mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain
contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations
establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than is the general population. Immuno-­
compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ
transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly
at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial
contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It
is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials
used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home’s water, you may wish
to have your water tested and flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water. Additional informa-
tion is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young
children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home
plumbing. The City of Imlay City is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the
variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can mini-
mize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking
or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information
on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Safe drinking water is a shared responsibility. The water that GLWA delivers to our community does not contain
lead. Lead can leach into drinking water through home plumbing fixtures, and in some cases, customer service lines.
Corrosion control reduces the risk of lead and copper from leaching into your water. Orthophosphates are added
during the treatment process as a corrosion control method to create a protective coating in service pipes throughout
the system, including your home and business. The City of Imlay City performs required lead and copper sampling
and testing in our community. Water customers also have a responsibility to maintain the plumbing in their homes
and businesses, and can take steps to limit their exposure to lead.
Your source water comes from the lower Lake Huron watershed. The watershed includes numerous short, sea-
sonal streams that drain to Lake Huron. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in partnership the
Detroit Water and Sewerage Department and several other governmental agencies performed a source water assess-
ment in 2004 to determine the susceptibility or relative potential of contamination. The susceptibility rating is on a
seven-tiered scale ranging from “very low” to “very high” based primarily on geologic sensitivity, water chemistry,
and contamination sources. The Lake Huron source water intake is categorized as having a moderately low suscepti-
bility to potential contaminant sources. The Lake Huron water treatment plant has historically provided satisfactory
treatment of this source water to meet drinking water standards.
In 2015, GLWA received a grant from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to develop a source
water protection program for the Lake Huron water treatment plant intake. The program includes seven elements
that include the following: roles and duties of government units and water supply agencies, delineation of source
water protection area, identification of potential of source water protection area, management approaches of protec-
tion, contingency plans, siting of new sources and public participation and education. If you would like to know
more information about the Source Water Assessment report please, contact your water department (810) 724-2135,
Ed Priehs.
The City of Imlay City and the Great Lakes Water Authority are committed to safeguarding our water supply and
delivering the highest quality drinking water to protect public health. The State and EPA require us to test our water
on a regular basis to ensure its safety. The City of Imlay City met all the monitoring and reporting requirements for
2017. Every customer will not be mailed a copy of this report. If you would like to know more information about
your drinking water or a copy of this report please, visit our website www.imlaycity.org or contact your water depart-
ment (810) 724-2135, Ed Priehs epriehs@imlaycity.org
