Woodruff, 30, was scheduled to face a 2-day jury trial last week in Tuscola County Circuit Court on a myriad of felony charges stemming from a Dec. 20, 2007 incident in which he threat- ened an officer, stole his patrol car and attempted to run another Cass City officer off an Elmwood Town- ship roadway. Instead, Woodruff appeared before Tuscola County Circuit Court Judge Patrick R. Joslyn to accept a plea/sen- tencing agreement reached by Prose- cutor Mark E. Reene and Woodruff’s counsel, Caro attorney Gregory H. Bringard. Under the agreement, Woodruff ac- cepted a prison term of 15 to 30 years for his pleas of no contest to 3 counts; carjacking, a felony punishable by up to life in prison; fleeing and eluding a police officer (a 5-year felony); and assaulting a police officer - causing injury (a 4-year felony). Woodruff was also convicted of being an habit- ual offender (3 or more prior felony convictions), which could have en- hanced his sentence to a life term in prison. Woodruff was escorted to the court- house by a pair of Michigan Depart- ment of Corrections officers from Jackson State Prison, where he is cur- rently serving a term of 3 to 15 years for his conviction on 4 counts of sec- ond degree home invasion March 3, 2000, in Tuscola County. He was also convicted on an identical charge in January 2004 in Sanilac County and sentenced to a concurrent term of 13 months to 15 years. Reene said he was scheduled to be discharged from prison in 2012.

Woodruff will be sentenced to a prison term of 15 to 30 years in an agreement in which he pleaded no contest to car jacking, fleeing and eluding a police officer and assaulting a police officer - causing injury, stemming from a clash with Tuscola County and Cass City law enforcement officers more than a year ago. “He’s receiving no credit for the time he’s serving now,” Reene said of the sentence handed down last week. “He’ll have to do at least the 15 years as the law stands now. But given his behavior, yes (he will probably do more time).” Thumb men charged in traffic crash investigation Two Thumb men, including a Cass City resident, have been formally charged in Sanilac County in connec- tion with a traffic crash last Novem- ber. Sanilac County Sheriff Garry Biniecki reported Sanilac County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Bay City-Forestville Road in Minden Township Nov. 23 to investigate a re- ported personal injury accident. “The investigation revealed that the driver of the vehicle, later identified as Russell C. Peruski, age 48, of Cass City, had left the scene of the acci- dent,” Biniecki said. “It was obvious from the evidence at the scene that the driver had been injured, and deputies contacted all area hospitals and family members in an attempt to locate the driver. “After deputies interviewed numer- ous family members and friends, they located Mr. Peruski the following day (Nov. 24) at his residence, where his wife was treating him for his in- juries,” Biniecki said. “Mr. Peruski and his wife requested an ambulance and Mr. Peruski was then transported to Scheurer Hospital in Pigeon.” Deputies interviewed Peruski at the hospital, and he stated that he had left the scene of the accident because he was afraid of being arrested for drunken driving, according to the sheriff. “While deputies were investigating the accident, James Gillis, age 49, of Minden City was suspected of cover- ing up the accident and had been ac- tively obstructing their investigation,” Biniecki said. “Mr. Gillis owns the Gillis Hotel in Minden City, which is the bar where Russell Peruski had been drinking prior to the accident in Please turn to page 7.

Stimpfel, an Ubly native, has already had plenty of “survivor” training in the real world, judging by the sched- ule she keeps. She and husband, Tom, are raising 2 boys — Bransen, 10, and CarLee, 8.

She ac- knowledged the contestants are also known for deception and some back stabbing now and then, but added, “I’m thinking I could (compete) with integrity.” Survivor is based on stranding a group of strangers as one or more tribes in a remote location, where they must fend for food, water, fire and shelter for themselves, while compet- ing in challenges to earn rewards and immunity from being “voted off” by the tribe in progressive eliminations. The last challenger remaining at the end of the competition wins $1 mil- lion and the title of Sole Survivor. “Survivor” is commonly considered the mother of American reality TV because it was the first highly-rated and profitable reality show on broad- cast television in the United States. The show, which debuted May 31, 2000, completed broadcasting its 17th season in December 2008. So, how do you audition? Stimpfel said she showed up at the casting call site early and was asked to fill out a 10-page questionnaire about herself.

The victim was identified as Renee Ann Melnik, 20. “Miss Melnik was driving a snow- mobile with a group of other snow- mobilers (Friday night). She drove out of a ditch on Buhl Road, south of Munford Road, striking a utility pole,” said Huron County Sheriff Kelly J. Hanson, who noted the acci- dent occurred at about 10 p.m. Melnik was transported from the scene to Harbor Community Hospital and then transferred to Covenant Hos- pital in Saginaw, where she died of head injuries. Investigators said Melnik was wear- ing a helmet, and alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

I think that Gov. Jennifer Granholmwould garner few votes from the Sag-inaw, Midland, Bay City area aftershe put the damper on the proposedclean coal operating power plant thatwould create 1,800 much neededjobs.

It’s human nature to endorse a jobcreating program when all around youemployment opportunities are shrink-ing or non-existent.

It’s well established that fossil fueluse adds to the global warming ofwhich scientists world-wide agree isunderway. But it’s one thing to saythat more wind and solar energy isneeded, it’s another when the rightthing to do directly affects you, yourneighborhood, or your area. Very feware altruistic enough to endorse a pro-gram that is intrinsically correct, butwith the payoff perhaps 150 yearsdown the road.

It’s easy to regard “clean” coal as apublic relations term, and have a littleskepticism about how much pollutiona new electricity generating plantwould produce. It may be, and proba-bly is, potentially less dangerous tothe environment than any currentcoal-fired plant. It does very little toreduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Undoubtedly, in the short term theanswer to the power shortage is nu-clear plants, but that didn’t fly whentried in Midland.

Observing the Michigan (or na-tional) political scene creates cautionabout future planning. If it weren’t forthe work at Cass City school build-ings, the governor’s statement that up-dating buildings would pay for itselfwould tend to be considered as just

another political ploy.But done properly it does and Cass

City is saving more than enough thefirst year to meet an installment of a10-year plan to pay for all thechanges, plus interest, as promised bythe contractor.

Generally, beach property ownersendorse the merging of the DNR andEnvironmental Quality departmentsthat would require just one permit toclean beachfronts and send wetlandprotection back to the federal govern-ment as part of a cost-saving plan.

The governor wants to reduce de-partments from 18 to 8. One thatcould go, but won’t, will be the com-mittee that recommends salaries ofelected officials.

Not many, if any, want to be namedas an originator of a bill that recom-mends salary/benefit increases forthemselves.

The news is not all bad. Arealandowners are getting a substantialboost from windmill rentals that willcontinue to proliferate.It’s a 2-way winner, better for the en-

vironment and better for the landown-ers.

There aren’t many that meet thatstandard. Unfortunately.

Windmills creatingsome 2-way winners

The headlines in the Detroit News Monday blared that banks have received$280.3 million in bailout funds under the federal Troubled Assets RecoveryProgram (TARP), but banks serving Cass City and mid-Michigan aren’t par-ticipating.

Paul Clabuesch, president of Thumb National Bank & Trust, said that thebank had applied for stimulus funds, but after reviewing the requirement forthe loan the bank declined to take the money from the stimulus package. Wedon’t need the money to conduct our business, he explained, and as a privatebank we don’t want the government to dictate our policy.

However, he added, we will continue to monitor the TARP package forchanges in the program.

According to a story in the News, Midland based Chemical Bank also haddeclined to take TARP funds. It’s a decision that nearly all small banks in Michigan have made. Only 5 of

the 130 small banks in Michigan have taken TARP money. Independent Bank of Ionia, with a branch in Cass City, has received $72 mil-

lion in TARP funds and a bank authority said that it has been leveraged toallow the bank to make loans of $75 million.

**********It’s common knowledge that Baker College in Cass City is thriving after tak-

ing over the institution that struggled before the new owners took control.Leafing through previous editions to see if there was an item that I could up-

date in this trivia column, I came across what I consider to be the finest ad-vertisement of the year. I thought as I reviewed it again that it reflected themanagement that has made the college prosper and available to area students.The advertisement had just 2 lines of copy plus its signature. The rest of the

ad that was 4 columns wide and 14 inches deep showed 48 rows with 50-pluspictures of individuals in each row.

The copy read, “Last year, over 3,000 graduates statewide were employedbecause they attended Baker College. Visit www.baker.edu, or call 989-872-6000 to schedule a visit and explore your future.”

**********A decade or so ago financial authorities were pleading with people to save

money instead of spending, spending, spending. The fear was that inflationwould skyrocket out of control in the boom times of that era.There has been, of course, a 360-degree turn and the financial community is

now urging everyone to spend, spend, spend.The vast majority 10 years ago didn’t listen and statistics indicate that they

are saving a larger percentage today than they did previously.I agree with the experts who point out that depression era residents didn’t

generally go with the flow and the scars inflicted in 1929-42 made a lastingimpression and influence on their activities.A now deceased friend who was prosperous later in life had it right when he

pointed out, “Once you have been poor you never forget it.”

My column about warmer weathermight have been a little premature. Itwas nice when I wrote the story, andprobably still is, but it’s winter just thesame.Still, I can’t resist the urge to antici-

pate spring. Winter is confining, butwhen spring arrives the whole coun-try could be out camping.I call it camping, anyway. We get out

the tent and the sleeping bags, thestove, cooler, plates, silverware, fish-ing rods and everything else we needfor a wilderness experience. None ofthose big, floppy beds and fancy, littletablecloths are going to make camp-ing any easier.

But now we have folks rentingbrightly designed, dolled-up tents sothey can be “glamping”, as they callit. I’m told that stands for glamorouscamping. I first heard of this concept when my

daughter read about it in a magazinelast summer. The story suggeststhrowing money at things is the bestway to go. One sentence of the fablesays, “For a number of people, theirfirst camping experience often be-comes their last.”

Is that crazy, or what? Camping is ayouthful experience. If we can’t standthat kind of youth, we should stayhome.

I will always remember my begin-ning camping trips and my first puptent when I was 12 years old. Thosetrips taught me you can’t believeeverything you read in the catalog,and there is no such thing as a water-proof tent.My first tent was called a “mountain

pup” tent — which had a nice ring fora 12-year-old mind. Nobody saidwhat a mountain pup was, and themodern system with the camp trailer

and a propane heater wasn’t even apipe dream in those days.

My first trip was just me and myfriend, Bobby, going out to the lakefor a couple of nights and a few hoursof fishing. The rain began soon afterwe arrived, and we only lasted onenight as I remember it. (I still like tocamp, and I prefer a tent.)

I began in the days when tents weremade of nothing but canvas, andeverything was held together by ropesand wood. Nobody had flexible polesor zippered windows; and any type ofcritter, such as a raccoon, was just partof the party.

Our modern trends toward moreequipment and total protection fromthe elements have turned campinginto a more urban affair, it seems tome. I was talking with a friend re-cently, when he told me about the firstcamping trip he took with his wife.

“She went through the kitchen andpacked everything we might possiblyuse when we sat down for dinner,” hesaid. “We had a table and chairs, cool-ers, and everything a person mightneed when they were camping.“Then she packed up the cell phone,

radio, portable TV, and some maga-zines a person could read with theelectrified light — on a customizedstand. Soon, there was barely enoughroom in our camping box for thepaper cutters and scrap books wekeep around the house.

“When I looked out there again, arocking chair was tied to the top of thetruck! I tried not to say anything.Honestly, I tried. “But next time — I’m going to pack

my old piece of canvas and tie it to-gether with some ropes and somepoles.”

Brown named chairof ed. subcommittee

State Rep. Terry Brown (D-Pigeon)has been named chair of the HouseAppropriations School Aid and Edu-cation Subcommittee, a key role that,he says, will enable him to help en-sure that area schools have the re-sources they need to prepare studentsto compete for the best-paying jobs inthe global economy.

“Making sure that all our kids re-ceive a high-quality education is im-portant not only for their economicfuture, but also for the success of ourcommunities and our state,” saidBrown, who worked in Thumb-areaschools for more than 2 decades be-fore becoming a state representative.“I’m excited about being able to help

my colleagues understand the chal-lenges our schools face, and what ourstudents need to succeed. Investing ineducation has to be a top priority inorder to make sure our residents havethe skills and knowledge to attractfast-growing industries that offergood-paying jobs.”

Brown has a master’s degree in edu-cational administration from GrandValley State University and a master’sin social work from Michigan StateUniversity. He and his wife, Carol,have 3 children in area public schools.

Inaddition, he will serve as a member ofthe Appropriations Economic Devel-opment Subcommittee, which focuseson job creation and business growth.“Serving on these bipartisan Appro-

priations committees allows me towork on something very important,which is getting state spending undercontrol,” Brown said.“There’s no question that we have to

get Michigan’s financial house inorder. Every penny of our workers’hard-earned money should be used asefficiently and effectively as possi-ble.”

PAGE FOUR CASS CITY CHRONICLE - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2009 CASS CITY, MICHIGAN

Watching the hours upon hours of Superbowl pregame, I suddenly foundmyself humming along to a familiar tune.

I turned to the television only to see the band Journey. Arnel Pineda, thenew lead singer of Journey as of 2007, was performing their signature song,their claim to fame: “Don’t Stop Believing.”I quickly remembered that this same song, a song being sung by what looked

to be adults around the age of 45 to 50 right in the front row (individuals em-barking upon that “graybeards” stage to which Mr. Haire eloquently refers),was selected as the class song for the Class of 2009. Can you believe that?What was old is new again.

“Don’t Stop Believing” was first debuted by Journey on their 1981 albumentitled “Escape”. Today when teens talk about music, an album refers to aCD or collection of songs. Oh how times have changed. Journey’s “Escape”was a true album, a 7-inch vinyl to be exact.“I really like the song,” commented senior Amanda Langenburg. “But I feel

like there could have been a song that would have represented us better. It isstill a good song.” Whatever the case, the senior class, including Langenburg,won’t stop believing until graduation day rolls around.This day is sneaking up on Cass City seniors faster than expected. With “se-

nioritis” in full force, seniors are a step and a jump away from the commence-ment ceremony.They are reminiscing over the past decade (plus 2 or 3 years) that they have

spent in the public school system. They remember fire drills, tag on the play-ground, spirit weeks for charity in the middle school, and years of cafeterialunches they slowly learned to accept. The days of standardized tests andbundles of sharpened pencils are gradually coming to an end in the halls ofCass City High School for the Class of 2009.“I remember when I thought 2009 would never come, and now here it is. A

year that seemed so far away when we were younger has made its way to thisyear...our graduation year,” remarked Student Body President Carly Rabideau.

All their triumphs and all their sorrows during the public school years willbe remembered forever: the people who inspired them, the days that they neverwanted to end, the moments that could not end soon enough, and the placesthat stole their hearts. How can a 1981 tune be the class song of 2009 at CassCity High School?

In a world that struggles from day to day, there is always room to believe.The belief in generous spirits and thoughtful deeds will hopefully rally aroundthat belief and make it a reality. In a world that is scary to jump out into in athousand ways, students grasp a little hope in the palms of their hands.Apparently, they won’t stop believing.

Already faced with an impendingfuel shortage, area farmers now lookwarily at another, possibly more men-acing shortage in the coming growingseason - a shortage of fertilizer. Areasuppliers speculate shortages willbegin to be felt to a great extent assoon as the weather breaks in thespring and will last throughout thesummer, with prices rising as much as50 percent on some types. For many persons, going bowling is

an enjoyable way to spend anevening. For others, bowling on aleague means journeying one night aweek to the alleys to meet the chal-lenge of 10 pins waiting to beknocked down. For two Cass Citybowlers, Fred Martin and Roy Wagg,it’s a true love. Both have bowled onthe same teams since 1959 and nei-ther has missed a regular league nightof action in over seven years. Noth-ing seems to stop this intrepid two-some. Wagg lives on a farm onSpencer Road, a half-mile from Mar-tin, who owns an auto repair garageon Cass City Road. “We’ve alwaysmanaged to make it,” Martin grins.“I’ve had to go out and get Roy on asnowmobile more than once becausethe roads were blocked.” That’s notall.

Big Brother Big Sister hosts a programthrough Cass City Public Schools called“Lunch Buddies”. The program consists of high schoolstudents getting paired up with an el-ementary child and eating lunch withthem once a week. The high school stu-dent is there to be a positive role modelfor the child and make an influence in thechild’s life. The lunch buddies get to eat lunch witheach other and then stay at Campbell El-ementary School for a fun-filled recess.The 2 buddies can choose to go outsideand play on the playground or stay in-side and go to the gym, library, musicroom, or computer lab. This is a great experience for both thehigh school student and the elementarystudent. The precious moments of con-versation over a simple school lunch willnever be more important than today. Buddies talk about yesterday, and thendream about tomorrow.

PAGE SIX CASS CITY CHRONICLE - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2009 CASS CITY, MICHIGAN

Have you ever had something hap-pen to you that you couldn’t forget orforgive?In 2005, I was diagnosed with stage

3 cancer. I was informed that it wasand is incurable. The standard treat-ment was 2 years of chemotherapy.Half way through the treatment myspine started to deteriorate from thechemotheraphy.

I had a bulging disc, a herniated discand the number 4 disc cracked and fi-nally collapsed. Oh, the pain. I hadbottles and bottles of pain medicationand nothing worked. During this time,I had trouble standing and walking.Medicare bought me my own wheel-chair, which I still have.

On Sunday, my wife stated shewanted to go to church. I told her I

had trouble standing and could notdress myself. We settled on a sweat-shirt and sweatpants. She had to putmy shoes and socks on, as I could not.

Upon arriving at the church, shewheeled me inside (I could not walk).She helped me into the pew andparked the wheelchair. The owner ofthe church immediately informed methat I wasn’t properly dressed forchurch. I asked, what’s wrong withyou? I have cancer and my wife hadto dress me.

Later, I had some strong soberingwords for the pastor. I was hospital-ized 3 times for my cancer with nopastoral visits or prayers.

This church is not a good shepherdand we quit going there. The LordGod smiled on me. I had spinal sur-gery. No pain and my back is as goodas new. The cancer is in remission andI feel super. When I come to God inprayer, He doesn’t care how I’mdressed. Praise God.God Bless Cass City,

Woodruff

was a fair resolution.”During his appearance before Joslyn,

Woodruff appeared confused, tellingJoslyn that he didn’t know how muchhigh school he completed, althoughhe knew he hadn’t graduated. He alsotold Joslyn he didn’t understand thecarjacking charge.

Reene, however, describedWoodruff’s comments as an act.“What he continues to do is presentthe appearance that he doesn’t under-stand what’s going on,” Reene said,noting that both a mental evaluationconducted at the Michigan Center forForensic Psychiatry in Ypsilanti, andan independent exam requested byBringard, concluded that Woodruffwas both mentally competent to standtrial and criminally responsible for hisactions.Woodruff initially faced charges that

include carjacking and armed rob-bery, both felonies punishable by upto life in prison, following the Dec.20, 2007, incident, which unfoldedabout 7 miles west of Cass City. Hewas also charged with unlawfullydriving away an automobile, fleeingand eluding a police officer, 2 countsof assault with a dangerous weapon,5 counts of assaulting a police officer,and malicious destruction of policeproperty.Woodruff’s run-in with police began

after Cass City officers Sgt. RogerZelmer and Jake Dhyse were dis-patched to the corner of Jacob andHutchinson roads to assist TuscolaCounty Sheriff’s Deputy Mike Pine inapprehending Woodruff, who waswanted for parole violation.

Woodruff hitched a ride with thedriver of an SUV, but the officers hada description of the vehicle, andDhyse stopped the SUV and recog-nized the suspect, who fled on foot.Dhyse gave chase, but Woodruff kepthim at a distance by holding one armunder a coat as if he had a weapon.Dhyse drew his firearm, but did notfire, although Woodruff repeatedlythreatened him.

The suspect managed to run toDhyse’s patrol car with Dhyse rightbehind him. Woodruff dove in andput the vehicle in gear while the offi-cer hung on for about 10 feet beforefreeing himself from the car. Zelmer,meanwhile, witnessed the struggleand gave chase in his own patrol car,and as he closed in, Woodruffslammed on his brakes causing thevehicles to make contact.

Woodruff then attempted to runZelmer off the road, and both driverslost control, with Woodruff entering aditch and Zelmer’s patrol car comingto rest in a field, where Woodruff wasfinally taken into custody. Reports in-dicated the officers suffered minor in-jures during the incident.

Sheriff: beware of scam in ThumbThe Tuscola County Sheriff’s De-

partment is requesting all citizens tobe aware of a new e-mail scam that isworking its way through the area.

District one County CommissionerAmanda Roggenbuck had a citizen inher area alert her to this scam, accord-ing to sheriff Lee Teschendorf, who

explained the scam involves an Amer-ican soldier wanting someone to helptransfer money out of Iraq and ends in“God Bless You”.

“This is just a small deviation fromthe normal email scams we have beengetting in the area, but enough that

those prone to support the U. S. mili-tary might fall for it,” Teschendorfsaid. He added residents should bewary of these types of scams, eitherby e-mail or regular U.S. mail.

“If it involves any kind of moneytransfer simply delete the e-mail or ripup the letter when it arrives,” he said.

Cass City opened the second half oftheir campaign Friday with an easy70-37 victory over visiting Deck-erville in non-conference action.

The Red Hawks actually trailed 13-12 after one quarter, but opened thenext frame scoring 22 unansweredpoints en route to a 41-21 edge at theintermission.

Justin Ketterer led the run, as hescored 11 of his career-best 17 pointsthat helped improve Cass City to 7-6overall.In the early going, Chris Summersett

and Austin Babich combined to scoreall of the hosts’ first quarter points,but back-to-back baskets by Deck-erville’s Josh Fritch and EthyanKramer had the Eagles in front after8 minutes of play.Ketterer made sure the Eagle advan-

tage didn’t hold up when he took con-trol of the scoring duties and pouredin 5 quick hoops, including one frombehind the 3-point arc.

Coach Aaron Fernald wasn’t sur-prised by his sophomore guard’s out-burst.

“He’s been doing that once in awhile at practice,” Fernald said. “Wejust have to be more consistent.We’ve been getting good shots, wejust have to knock them down.”

Summersett, the game’s high scorerwith 20 points, had his way in thepaint throughout the initial half andthen added 2 treys to finish with 18first half markers.Any thoughts of a comeback for the

Eagles vanished in the final half, asthe hosts outscored their guests 20-4from the start that allowed Fernald toclear his bench early.

“It seems like we get those big runsagainst the wrong teams,” Fernaldsaid, downplaying the victory as theEagles (1-12) are in the midst of re-building.After struggling to score for much of

the season, Cass City has scored 60 ormore points in 3 of their last 4 out-ings. The team’s 70-point total is itshighest of the season and similarshowings in this week’s GreaterThumb West contests will aide theRed Hawks as they attempt to avengelosses to Bay City All Saints tonightand Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port on Fri-day.

Cass City put 9 players in the scorecolumn against the Eagles. Babich,who had 6 rebounds and 4 assists,scored 12 points to join Summersettand Ketterer in double figures.

Derek Redman paced Deckervillewith 10 points.

Don’t be surprised if more champi-onship hardware follows the CassCity wrestling team.

The Red Hawks claimed their firstchampionship trophy of 2009 over theweekend at the Standish-Sterling In-vitational and will be the favoritesduring team districts slated for Feb.19th in Cass City. The Red Hawks, Saturday, grappled

their way to a 60-15 win over thehosts in their opening match and thendefeated Mio in similar fashion, 54-26. In the championship bout, CassCity completed a perfect day with ahard-fought 39-36 victory over San-ford-Meridian.

With the victories, Cass City im-proves to 25-15 for the season enter-

ing tonight’s final dual meet of theyear at Caro where the Red Hawkswill face one of their toughest foes ofthe season.At their own district, the Red Hawks

will face Sandusky and the winner ofthe Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port and BadAxe contest. Cass City has defeatedall 3 teams on the season withoutmuch of a struggle.

Coach Don Markel had 4 RedHawks post 3-0 marks on the day enroute to individual championships.Jon Crouch captured the 112-poundweight class; T.J. Marker took the119-pound weight class, Clark Walsh,152-pound weight class and Josh Jen-son, 171-pound weight class.

“We need to continue with the con-

sistency that was shown this week,”Markel said. “Our wrestling tech-nique is improving to where it shouldbe at this point of the season. With theleague meet, districts and regionalsrapidly approaching the team willneed to continue to show improve-ment.”

VASSAR

Cass City traveled to Vassar Wednes-day night for a quad meet that wasscheduled with Brown City and San-dusky.

However, weather conditions pre-vented the Redskins from attending,which resulted in Cass City defeatinga combined Brown City and Vassarsquad by a final score of 38-33.

In the opening quarter it appearedthat the Cass City Red Hawkswere going to easily rack up theirsecond win of the season over vis-iting Deckerville Eagles. TheHawks romped to a 53-36 deci-sion in the first meeting this sea-son and started with a 14-3 lead inthe first 5 1/2 minutes of the game.

Despite the opening splurge, theHawks were hard-pressed to rackup the 62-54 decision.

By the time the first periodended, the Eagles had choppedaway the 11-point early Hawklead to 7 points. That lead was cutto just 3 points in the early min-utes of the second quarter beforethe Hawks counted a pair of buck-ets with the fast break that theteam used all game for easy un-contested baskets.

Pacing the attack was AleighKappen, who staged her best of-fensive quarter on the way to herbest offensive game of the year.Kappen netted 4 hoops and one of2 from the line for 9 points as CassCity staved off the first Eaglethreat of the night to stretch itslead to 24-16 with 4:07 left.

The Hawks then turned the ballover 3 times and Deckervillemoved to within 3 points, 26-23,before the Hawks righted the shipto stay ahead, 32-26, at the break.

The Eagles stayed within shout-ing distance of the Hawks in thethird period, using balanced scor-ing to enter the final 8 minutestrailing 46-35.

Tiffany Smith’s hot shootingfrom 3-point land paced a seriouschallenge for the Hawks. She con-nected for 4 from outside the cir-cle, including one in the cruciallast minute of the game.

It was 52-49 with 2:30 left and57-54 with less than a half minuteto play. Cass City clinched the vic-tory with clutch free throws.Megan VanVliet buried 4 for 4 andKappen one for 2 from the line toassure the 62-54 decision.

Coach Lloyd Schinnerer said ahot shooting night with balancedscoring and strong rebounding ledto the win.

Kappen’s career night included19 points and 8 rebounds. Van-Vliet netted 11 points and 12 re-bounds. Jennica Richards playedthe point and scored 11 points.Logan Rowell was a force insidewith 10 points, 5 rebounds and 5blocked shots.

The Hawks will try to top BayCity All Saints Tuesday and thenplay at Lakers Thursday.

In 1996, Congress amended the Safe Drinking Water Act. This legislation added a provision requiring all community water systems deliver totheir customers a brief Annual Water Quality Report.

The Village of Cass City is pleased to provide you with this year’s Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. We want to keep you informedabout the water quality and services we have delivered to you over the past year. Our goal is, and always has been, to provide a safe and de-pendable supply of drinking water. The Village of Cass City obtains its water from three different municipal wells. All three wells are locatedin the Village Park, at the east end of town. Wells No. 1 and No. 2, located just east of the tennis courts, were installed in 1946. They are 290feet and 240 feet deep respectively. Well No. 3 is located on the west side of the volleyball courts. Well No. 3 was installed in 1998 and extendsto a depth of 311 feet. All three municipal wells are drilled into the bedrock of the Michigan Formation. The Village now has the capacity topump 1,656,000 gallons of water per day.

In 2007 the Village of Cass City constructed an arsenic removal plant. On January 23, 2006 the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) loweredthe MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) for arsenic from 50 ppb to 10ppb. The Village of Cass City did not meet the new Arsenic standard.On April 18, 2007 the Village started supplying water that exceeds the new standard of 10ppb. The arsenic was reduced from a high of 29ppbto under 5ppb.

The State of Michigan has produced a Source Water Assessment for each of the Village’s wells. This Assessment reports the susceptibility ofour water supply sources to contamination. The susceptibility score is broken down into 7 categories. Very Low, Low, Moderately Low, Mod-erate, Moderately High, High, or Very High. The score, given by the State, for all three of the Village wells, is Moderately High. The suscep-tibility rating is based primarily on geologic sensitivity, water chemistry and contaminant sources. The complete Source Water Assessment isavailable by contacting the Village office.

This report shows our water quality and what it means to you, our customers.

If you have any questions concerning this report, or about your water, or your water utility please contact Gary Barnes, Monday thru Friday,8:00 a.m. thru 3:30 p.m., 989-872-2911. The Village also has regularly scheduled Village Council Meetings the last Monday of each month at7:00 p.m. at the Village Hall, 6506 Main Street, Cass City Michigan. The public is welcome at all meetings of the Village Council.

All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. Thepresence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate the water poses a health risk. As water travels over the land or underground, it can pickup substances or contaminants such as microbes, inorganic and organic chemicals, and radioactive substances. More information about con-taminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) “Safe DrinkingWater Hotline: at 1-800-426-4791.

The Village of Cass City routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The Village has con-ducted tests for over 150 different contaminants, on each municipal well and through out the system. The following table shows the results ofour monitoring, for the period January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008.

VILLAGE OF CASS CITY MICHIGAN

DRINKING WATER TEST ANALYSIS - 2007

TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS USED IN TABLE BELOW

Non-Detects - (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the contaminant is not present.Parts Per Million - (ppm) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.Parts Per Billion - (ppb) - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.Maximum Contaminant Level - (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL are set as close to theMCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below, which there is no known or expectedrisk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.Maximum Residual disinfectant Level - (MRDL) is the highest level of free chlorine allowed in the distribution system. Action Level - (AL) is the concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements, which a water systemmust follow.Picocuries per liter - (pCi/l) picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.

The State of Michigan allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminantsare not expected to vary significantly from year to year. All of the data is representative of our water quality, but some are more than one yearold. The tables below represent the most current testing information available.

Contaminants Regulated by The State of Michigan

POTENTIAL HEALTH CONCERNS

FOR CONTAMINANTS LISTED IN TABLES ABOVE

Arsenic - Some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of the MCL, over many years could experience skin damage or problemswith their circulatory system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.Barium - Some people who drink water containing barium in excess of the MCL, over many years could experience an increase in their bloodpressure.Copper - Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relativelyshort amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action levelover many years could suffer liver or kidney damage. People with Wilson’s Disease should consult their personal doctor.Fluoride - Some people who drink water containing fluoride in excess of the MCL, over many years could get bone disease, including painand tenderness of the bones. Children may get mottled teeth.Total trihalomethanes - Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experienceproblems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Lead - If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinkingwater is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Cass City is responsible forproviding high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has beensitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using waterfor drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinkingwater, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or athttp://www.epa.gov/safewater /lead.Radiological - Gross Alpha - Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Some people whodrink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.Radium 226/228 - Some people who drink water containing radium 226 or 228 in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increasedrisk of getting cancer.Chlorine - Some people who use water containing chlorine well in excess of the MRDL could experience irritating effects to their eyes andnose. Some people who drink water containing chlorine well in excess of the MRDL could experience stomach discomfort.

Contaminants Not Regulated by The State Of Michigan

Unregulated Contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. Monitoring helps EPA to determine wherethese contaminants occur and whether it needs to regulate those contaminants. Potential health concerns are not listed for these contaminants.

All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination

by substances that are naturally occurring or man made.

These substances can be:

Microbial Contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operationsand wildlife.Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or do-mestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.Pesticides and herbicides, may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses.Radioactive contaminants, are naturally occurring, or can be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petro-leum production, can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water providedby public systems. The FDA regulates contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.

MCL’s (Maximum Contaminant Levels) are set at very stringent standards. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulatedcontaminants, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime, to have a “one-in-a-million chance” ofexperiencing the described health effect.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such aspersons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systemdisorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from theirhealth care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by crypto sporidium and other microbiologicalcontaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at: (1-800-426-4791).

The village was in Violation of the requirement to monitor for partial chemistry. We did not collect the required routine sample for partal chem-istry by the September 30, 2008 deadline. The sample was collected on October 1, 2008.

Please call the Village Office if you have any questions or would like to see the reports for all of the tests the Village has conducted. The contactperson for this information is Gary Barnes, telephone: (989) 872-2911.

Growing povertythreatening kids

Growing poverty is threatening thefuture of a new generation of Michi-gan children, with many young chil-dren living in poor households andmore children suffering from neglect,the Kids Count in Michigan report re-leased this week concludes.

Michigan’s continuing economicwoes are spilling over into the lives ofthe state’s youngest residents withnearly one out of every 4 young chil-dren (under age 5) living in poverty.That means that for a family of 4, in-come is no more than about $21,000.Two out of every 5 young childrenlive in low-income households, de-fined as income under $42,000 for afamily of 4.In addition, the report concludes that

the rate of confirmed child victims ofabuse or neglect jumped nearly 14percent between 2000 and 2007. In2007 more than 29,000 children wereconfirmed as victims of maltreatment.“Young children are particularly vul-

nerable to their physical and emo-tional environment,” said JaneZehnder-Merrell, a senior research as-sociate at the Michigan League forHuman Services and director of theKids Count in Michigan project.“They are developing the architectureof their physical, mental and emo-tional capacity in these early years.”

The report does offer some goodnews. Of 14 indicators where data al-lowed a comparison, 11 factorsshowed improvement statewide, suchas a jump in the rate of fourth- andseventh-graders passing statewidestandardized tests in reading. In addi-tion to these gains, lead testing ofMedicaid-enrolled infants and tod-dlers rose dramatically between 2002and 2007. State policies have focusedon making progress in these areas.The report includes detailed profiles

of child well-being for the state, eachof its 83 counties, and the city of De-troit. It ranks counties on 17 indica-tors in 5 areas of child well-being.

The report finds that child povertybetween 2000 and 2007 jumped 40percent, rising from 13.6 percent to 19percent.Young children are even more likely

to be living in poverty because par-ents tend to be younger themselvesand have less earning power. The rateamong young children rose from 16.8percent in 2000 to 22.9 percent in2007.

“Michigan’s continuing economicproblems, with rising unemployment,declining wages and growing poverty,call for a stronger safety net to helpfamilies through these difficulttimes,’’ said Sharon Parks, MLHSpresident & CEO. “Tragically, reces-sionary revenues combined with taxcuts throughout the 1990s means thatwe don’t have the money to providethe help that is needed.”A major hole in the safety net is the

erosion of the cash assistance grant,which has been basically flat since

1990, losing a third of its buyingpower since then.Another safety net issue is the inad-

equacy of the childcare subsidy forlow-income working parents (those at136 percent of poverty or below.).The subsidy has received only a 2 per-cent increase in 12 years.Without a subsidy, it takes 42 percent

of earnings of a full-time minimumwage job to cover the average cost ofchildcare for one preschool child. Theaverage family using the subsidy has2 children in care.

“Giving young children a safe andnurturing early childhood educationexperience is perhaps the single mostimportant step we can take to ensureour future economic vitality as astate,” said Judy Samelson, chief ex-ecutive officer of the Early ChildhoodInvestment Corporation, a public non-profit corporation working to improveearly childhood education in Michi-gan.Among other trends in the report:

* Minority children experience dou-ble to triple the risk of poverty whencompared with white children;* Female-headed households withyoung children are 10 times morelikely to be poor than married cou-ples;* The share of young children receiv-ing early intervention for develop-mental delay or mental health serviceslag far below the estimated need.

Winter blahs, post holiday blues, or being cooped up inside duringMichigan’s long and gray winters can lead to lethargy or justfeeling down.

We suggest that your child is:• Getting plenty of sleep• Observing good eating habits• Exercising regularly• Completing school work early in the evening• Setting reasonable goals• Laughing and having fun

The economic forecast predicts a blizzard of change in the nearfuture. Together parents and teachers will weather the stormsand protect our children’s learning environment.

Michael Grothcompletesbasic trainingNavy Seaman Michael A. Groth, son

of Mary B. Ostrand of Snover, re-cently completed U.S. Navy basictraining at Recruit Training Com-mand, Great Lakes, Ill.

During the 8-week program, Grothcompleted a variety of training, whichincluded classroom study and practi-cal instruction on naval customs, firstaid, firefighting, water safety and sur-vival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was alsoplaced on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is“Battle Stations”. This exercise givesrecruits the skills and confidence theyneed to succeed in the fleet. “BattleStations” is designed to galvanize thebasic warrior attributes of sacrifice,dedication, teamwork and endurancein each recruit through the practicalapplication of basic Navy skills andthe core values of honor, courage andcommitment. Its distinctly “Navy”flavor was designed to take into ac-count what it means to be a sailor.

Groth is a 2002 graduate of San-dusky High School.

recalled, and they had set up a largepile of twigs. In the video, Stimpfelemerges from a tunnel underneath.She grabs a pink Hoyt bow andshoots a target, then shoots a balloon

Stimpfel enjoyed “Survivor” casting callwith a BB gun. Then, she demon-strates her ability to start a fire with apiece of flintstone and cuts a piece ofstring, unleashing her customized“Deford Survivor - Season 19” flag.

“When I got there (audition) at aquarter after 8, I was the fifth personthere. By the time they started at

noon, there were probably 200, 300people,” she said.

Stimpfel explained that each Sur-vivor “wannabe” was escorted into aprivate room, where they were askedto talk about themselves in front of 2photographers and 2 videographers.

“It’s kind of hard to tell them, in 3minutes, who you are. But it was afun experience. Even if I didn’t makeit, the experience was cool,” she said,adding she enjoyed meeting the othercontestants, including a detective anda missionary who had served in Iraq,and talking to them about where theyare from and why they wanted to beon the show.If enthusiasm were the only criterion

to earn a spot for the 19th episode ofSurvivor, Stimpfel might be a shoe-in.

“They made the show for me.

They’re waiting for me — they justdon’t know it yet,” she said, laughing.“I’m really competitive. I don’t giveup on anything.”As for the money, Stimpfel indicated

she’s hesitant to win $1 million, “butI wouldn’t want to be voted off, ei-ther.” If she has her way, Stimpfelwould be the next to last survivor,winning $100,000. “I just want toplay the game. I wouldn’t want a mil-lion. There would be people comingout of the woodwork, and it wouldprobably change your life, and we’rereally happy the way we are.”

Stimpfel will find out whether shemade the cut next month.

“My chances (of getting on theshow) are probably one in a million,”she said. “But somebody’s got tomake it, and why not from theThumb?”
