McBride pleads guilty, faces possible life sentence A Cass City teen accused of

helping to plan the robbery and murder of a Deford area man has pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

Dean Austin McBride, 14, Cass City, entered the plea Friday in Tuscola County Circuit Court.

McBride, who faces a maximum sentence of life or any number of years in prison and a $10,000 fine, will be sentenced Friday, April 24. As part of a plea agreement,

charges of conspiracy to commit first degree (pre- meditated) murder, conspiracy to commit first degree home invasion, attempted first degree home invasion, carrying a weapon (knife) with unlawful intent and carrying a concealed weapon will be dismissed.

Also appearing in court Fri- day were McBride’s co-de- fendants, Richard L. Lesoski, 17, and Robert D. McPhail, 20, both of Cass City.

The pair, who also face charges of conspiracy to commit first degree murder, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, conspiracy to commit first degree home invasion and attempted first degree home invasion, waived their arraignments in circuit court,

Pre-trial hearings were scheduled for March 9 for McPhail and April 9 for Lesoski. Investigators say the 3 Cass

City residents conspired over a month-long period to rob

and then murder Cemetery Road resident Bruce Bartle, 72.

According to reports, the teens had planned to split up any money taken in the robbery. Lesoski and McPhail allegedly were going to use their shares to buy bus tickets to Wisconsin, where they planned to meet 2 girls they had met over the Internet. However, the robbery never

materialized. Reports indicated the suspects fled from Bartle’s property after the man spotted one of the sus-

Investigtatio n con tin u es

pects near his trailer during the evening of Feb. 3.

Investigators reported they knew the robbery was being planned, thanks to infoma- tion received from an anonymous informant. Bartle was also informed, and he called 9 1 1 after spotting ‘a subject wearing dark clothing outside his home.

Lesoski and McPhail were arrested the same evening following a search by police, who utilized a state police tracking dog. McBride was arrested 3 days later.

Hills and Dales General Hospital officials last week announced plans to build a 19,000-square foot office building and rehab center.

The estimated $2 million complex will be located just south of the hospital, across Hospital Drive.

Officials announced the project during an employee meeting Friday, saying construction will get underway in May.

“The complex will house the Cass City Michigan Ath- letic and Rehabilitation Cen- ter (MARC), Tri-Coun ty Medical Equipment, Thumb AreaHomeCareAgency and a number of specialty physician clinic offices,’’ said Dee McKrow, Hills and Dales chief executive officer.

“It’s a definite plus,” she added. “We’re looking at it being beneficial for all 3 di- visions.

“Physicians’ offices will now be available to the specialty doctors that come to Hills and Dales on a weekly basis. The facility will allow the physicians ample space to operate their clinics as well as adding new groups to the hospital. “It’s going to be very excit-

ing for us.” McKrow said the new

building, expected to be conipleted in DecemBer, will aid the growing pains Hills and Dala is experiencing, Space currently is at a pre-

mium at the hospital, which houses MARC as well asTri- County Medical Equipment, McKrow noted Tri-County, which is located in a converted office, hasn’t had a home of its own since the business was burned out of its previous location on Main Street a year ago, At the same time, she said,

there currently are no vacant doctors offices, “and you don’t want to h u n them (new doctors) away.”

Housing doctors’ offices, Tri-County Medical, the Thumb Area Home Care Agency and MARC in one building will offer patients a

great deal more convenience, according to McKrow.

In addition, physician groups currently serving the hospital once a week will #now have full-time offices in Cass City, enabling them to exp an d their s er vi c es . “They’re making more of a commitment to C a s City.” McKrow added a new facil-

ity for MARC will also better serve the Thumb community as health care continues to head in the direction of managed care and an emphasis on prevention.

CT SCANNER Aside from the new build-

ing, the Hills and Dales Hos- pital Board of Trustees recently approved the purchase of a CT Spiral Scanner at a cost of well over a half-million dollars. A mobile CT Scanner unit

currently serves Hills and Dales, which will be the only Thumb hospital to offer its own CT Spiral Scanner.

“The new scanner will offer top technology in com- puterized topography (CT) for.’the entire Thumb area,” McKrow said.

Spiral scans image tumors add aneurysms with signifi- cant accuracy, allowing for early detection and earlier

treatment, and increasing chances of survival. Spiral scanning also shortens expo- sure time and reduces image blurring.

Pediatric patients can be scanned 6 times faster, which reduces the need to sedate children, according to McKrow, who noted the state-of-the-art equipment reduces the patient radiation dose by as much as 30 percent.

“CT spiral scanning technology brings the clinical accuracy necessary to deliver high quality health care,” she said. “It’s very good for us, very good for Cass City.”

Crime cases down 12% in Cass City The Cass City community

was a safer place to live in 1997, judging by crime statistics compiled during the year by the village police depart men t .

Officials say total incidents for the year were down 12 percent, with Class I crimes - assault, burglary, larceny, drug offenses - down 18 percent .

A chart outlining the number of incidents in each category accompanies this story. According to an annual re-

port recently presented to the Cass City Village Council, incidents in all assault cat- egories were down by 43 percent in 1997.

“Recently enacted state laws and a Coordinated Community Response has helped us aid victims of this crime,” explained Sgt. Craig Haynes, who noted the local department has a written policy on handling domestic violence complaints.

Burglaries, meanwhile, were down 50 percent. Po- lice attribute the drop, in part,

to current economic conditions as well as an increase in the department’s full-time staff with the addition of Of- ficer Lee Pavlichek, An officer is now on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Likewise, larcenies were down 4 1 percent. Police plan to expand their crime prevention program this year. The program will include training an officer who will assist business owners, service clubs, associations and residents i n preventing crime.

An increase was seen in motor vehicle thefts last year, however, police say the hike is due to one juvenile who repeatedly took his mother’s

There was also an increase in property damage complaints, primarily individuals throwing ob-jects at windows. Police have used the village’s

car.

curfew ordinance to help address the problem, and they plan to handle future problems by utilizing schedule adjustments, foothicycle patrol and plain clothes assignments.

A decrease of 15 percent was shown in drug complaints last year, according to Haynes. “The department continues

a cooperative working rela- tionship with the Thumb Narcotics Unit,” he said. “In 1997,4 search warrants were executed at residences in Cass City. Drugs and other contraband were seized at all the residences searched.”

Haynes noted the department will continue to present drug education programs, including Drug Abuse Resis- tance Education (DARE) in the schools. Haynes has served as DARE officer, while Chief Gene Wilson is on the Tuscola County DARE Board and also serves on the executive board of the Thumb Narcotics Unit.

Also planned is a “School Liaison Program,” with more time spent at the elementary and high schoal level. Haynes will serve as school liaison officer. Police hope their prevention

programs will help to cut down on problems with delinquent minors. Incidents involving delinquents were

up 14 percent last year, while an increase of 19 percent was seen in the category of minors in possession of alcohol (partly due tn a new state law addressing minors who con- sume alcohol) and curfew violations. There was a decrease of 10 percent in minors using tobacco.

In other statistics, drunk driving offenses were up by 33 percent, and police reported a slight increase in traffic crashes. “Using our new computer mapping program, we are looking at the areas traffic crashes occur,” Haynes said, “We plan to use selective enforcement in these areas in an effort to reduce traffic crashes.’’ As for other traffic offenses,

there was a 39 percent increase in the number of parking tickets issued by police. The greatest increase stems from the village’s Snow Or- dinance, which prohibits parking in certain areas from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. “We continue to respond to

the business owners request to enforce the 2-hour parking ordinance,” Haynes said.

We often write about grandchildren from our perspec- tive as grandparents. So it seems only fair that the kids should have the opportunity to express their views.

Here are a few of them as compiled by Stuart Hample and Eric Marshall in a book called "Grandma, Grandpa Csr Me: stuff kids tell us."

bad words and my granna gets very upset and she says not around the children but its ok because I know all the words anyway.

* I learned from my grandpa not to wait too long after we eat before 1 go to the bathroom. Now they can take me anywhere.

* When I'm a grandpa I'll remember all the tricks kids use to get you to do things and I won't let them get away with them.

* Whenever my grandpa comes my mom makes chocolate cake with white frosting because he loves it . But when he doesn't come, all we ever get to eat for des- sert is stupid fruit. * You can't touch anything

in grandma's house. You have to wipe your shoes on the mat every time you come in and you better turn off the lights when you leave the room or else. * I wonder what grandpar-

ents do when you're not there. Or when they're not here. I bet not very much because they're always waiting to see you whenever you want. * My grandma is very ner-

vous. She worries about a lot of things. Sometimes before i t even happens. But then it never does. * My grandpa loves to drink

soda. He's the best belcher in the world.

The back forty by Roger Pond

(And anyone else he can so Jim could milk the cows. While Jim gathered the cows, I generally mixed-up some powdered milk-replacer for the calves.

One company made a chocolate colored milk-replacer i n those days, and that’s what Jim had for his calves.

Everyone knows the old story about brown cows giv- ing chocolate milk. So we’d mix up a batch of chocolate milk-replacer and try to con- vince the town kids we got it from the old black cow in the last- stanchion.

Our friends were skeptical at first, but they always came around. Seeing is believing, I guess.

When I read about agri- tourism, bed and breakfasts, and cornfield mazes, I always remember those days when the kids came to the farm to visit. That’s the main reason I could never run an agri- touris t business.

I’d have to stop every so often and say, “Wait a minute! These folks are pay-

ing to swing on the hay rope. Maybe we’d better actually tie it to something this time’!”

It’s easy to forget how much agriculture has changed over the years. My generation has seen the days of 2-row corn planters and this new era of precision agriculture with satellite technology.

One thing hasn’t changed, though: The competitive nature of farming. Everyone is looking for crops, livestock, and enterprises that will help improve the bottom line.

A few farmers are taking their cues from the tourist business by providing farm activities for city people. These entrepreneurs have discovered baling hay, building fence, and milking cows are great entertainment for folks who never had to do them.

It’s hard to believe people will pay good money to do things their grandparents spent most of their lives trying to avoid, but that’s the way it is. Some farmers are planting entire fields of corn and cutting them into mazes so tourists can wander around, wondering how they are going to get out.

I can’t imagine anybody getting lost in a cornfield on purpose. The whole thing seems terribly embarrassing to me.

Tourist farming (or agri- tourism) may sound strange at first, but it’s a natural pro- gression in many ways. Folks who grew up on a farm have been dealing with tourists for most of their lives. We called them “town kids” when I was a boy. Getting lost in the cornfield

was a minor event compared to the stunts we cooked up for the town kids. Most of our pranks were harmless - even educational in a warped sort of way. My friend Jim’s brown cow

trick was one of my favorites. Jim’s family had a few cows and an excellent pasture for baseball, so he always kept a few town kids around for the weekend baseball games.

Most Saturdays we would play baseball until about 5:oO p.m., and then we had to quit

The state is doing everything it can to get you to vacation in Michigan. Just released are 2 publications, “Michigan Travel Ideas” and “Michigan Summer Travel Guide.”

“Ideas” is a 144-page magazine covering the state’s vacation opportunities. “Guide” is 64 pages.

In addition, by calling free 888 78-GREAT between 8 a.m. and 1 1 p.m. weekly and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends, advisors are available to assist travelers. It’s a far cry from the time when all that was offered was a

free Michigan map that, of course, is still available.

Until last week, and for the last 33 years, Henry Ford Hospital was held in my highest regard, but that was then and this is now.

It all started with my treatment received in 1965 and it ended with treatment received by my son-in-law’s father, Walter Sroka. When I was first exposed to

Ford Hospital, i t was after a bout with a heart ailment at a time when there wasn’t the diagnostic tools or the knowledge available today. When I visited Ford after a

preliminary examination another specialist and several trainees were called in for a consultatibd. In short order a decision was reached and I was soon back to normal. It required time and effort and they took it.

All of this is of interest today only because it demon- strates the trcatment available then. There was time and there were experts available to study my case.

Now switch to last week when Sroka entered one of Ford Hospital’s branch facilities. During his 84 years, one of

Sroka’s favorite activities was dancing. He had driven his sports car to another dance when he felt a pain in his left arm and chest. With his son, he entered the

hospital and was given a room. He and his son waited for a doctor to come. They waited and waited for 2 hours and then suddenly i t was all over. He died before help arrived.

I have no way of knowing why this happened. Perhaps the place was jammed with patients needing emergency care. Perhaps because of the pressure on all hospitals to improve the bottom line the place was understaffed. Whatever the reason, he died without care.

While renowned institutions like Ford Hospital have facilities and specialists, they aren’t any good if they can’t be reached when needed.

Speaking from personal experience I can attest that it’s inconceivable that a person with chest pains or pains running down the arm would be ignored for 2 hours at Hills and Dales General Hos- pital. It’s certainly not the way it is around here. This was the treatment received

when a chest pain brought me to the local hospital.

The place was fairly busy, perhaps 6 patients seeking treatment. As soon as chest pain was announced everything stopped while the preliminary steps for a possible heart attack were instigated. If it had been a heart condition my chances of survival were greatly enhanced. It’s comforting to know that this treatment is there when needed.

In the constant battle between medical costs and medical services, Walter Sroka lost. He wasn’t the first nor will he be the last.

Tuscola County dispatchers began broadcasting from the county’s new 91 1 central dispatch facility a week ago, and so far everything is running smoothly.

“We’re doing pretty well,’’ Tuscola County Center Dis- patch Director Dawn Adams commented Monday in her office in the 2,900-square- foot dispatch complex, which is located next to the county health department at 1389 Cleaver Rd., Caro. Adams noted the center’s 10

It’s like night and day, Adams pointed out, citing ample space for both personnel and storage in the new building.

More importantly, imple- mentation of a new 800 MHz radio system, supported by a 400-foot tower in Car0 and a 350-foot tower leased by the county in the Mayville area, has ensured uninter- rupted communications for emergency personnel throughout the county.

With the new system, she continued, not only are radio communications improved, but dispatchers are able to communicate with several police, fire and ambulance units ail at one time. Previ- ously, a dispatcher could only communicate with one unit at a time.

Work on the new dispatch center began last April. The project cost, including the building, installation of the new radio system, and purchase of pagers and in-car data terminals, totaled about $2.2 mil lion.

operational surcharge of $2.57 per month per phone line, which goes toward construction of the building as well as equipment and operational expenses.

Residents pay another 30 cents per month in the form of a technical surcharge to their rcspectivc phone companies to pay for equipment and maintenance needed for the dispatch system.

Adams said a new feature at central dispatch is a non- emergency telephone num- her that residents are encouraged to use when reporting a complaint such as a neighbor’s dog barking or vandalism. The number is

To test Lakers Friday

Hawks need to duplicate i I .

Saturday’s Mayville gamk If the Cass City Red Hawks

win the regular season final at Laker High Friday it won’t mean anything in the Greater Thumb West League race.

The Lakers have that wrapped up. Still Coach Jeff Hartel and his players would like nothing better than to come away with a win with the district tourney looming next week.

If the Hawks play like they did Saturday at home, where they racked up a decisive 72- 46 win, they will make things very interesting for the league champs.

But if the same team that played Mayville Friday and Bay City All Saints IastTues- day shows up, it’s hard to imagine they will be able to hand the champs their first league loss of the year. The Hawks exchanged one-

point decisions, defeating All Saints, 61-60, and losing to Mayville, 55-54.

While the win over A11 Saints wasn’t that pretty, it did break a 2-game losing streak for the Hawks and as events proved, stopped what could have been a 4-game streak.

It was a game where the lead changed hands fre- quently with neither team able to mount a drive to take control of the game. At one time in the second quarter the Hawks went ahead by I 1 points, the largest lead for either team all night.

R u t the Cass City bugaboo, turnovers (1 6), let the Cou- gars back in the game. It was 33-31 at the half and All Saints went ahead, 47-46, at thc end of 3 quarters to set the stage for the wild finish in the last 2 minutes of the game.

With 2:08 left to play, All Saints went i n front by 4 points on a basket by Brad Guoan. Tim Micklash cashed 2 free throws and Chad Lenhard h i t a 2-pointer, countered by Chad Francis’

bucket, and with 47 seconds left the score was tied at 58- all. After the Cougars went ahead, Craig Emmert make a pair of free throys to tie the game with 15.7 seconds left. All Saints held the ball un-

til the final 8 seconds and Francis took a shot that missed from the top of the key. Andy Edwards re- bounded the ball and an ill- advised foul with 2.2 seconds left put him on the free throw line and he converted one of 2, enough for the win.

Hartel said that he was pleased with the balanced scoring with 4 players in double figures, led by Tim Micklash with 15 points, 3 assists, 3 steals and 5 for 10 from the field. Emmert had 12 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocked shots.

FIRST MAYVILLE GAME

Two bad quarters were too much for the Hawks to over- come in the Friday game against the Wildcats. Cass City failed to find the basket in the first 8 minutes and fell behind 17-7.

The Hawks got back into the game in the second period behind the shooting of Chad Lenhard and Josh and Ryan Brinkman, who each scored 5 points to put the Hawks in front 24-23 at the half.

But the second-worst scoring quarter of the year (6 points) for Cass City put the team behind 44-30 going into the final 8 minutes.

Sparked by Edwards’ 3 treys, the Hawks bounced back only to fall just short of pulling the game out of the fire.

Hartel said he was pleased with the efforts of the players, .dho played with inten- sity to bounce back in the last period.

The Hawks’ rally was hurt when Emmert fouled out, but

0-G falls to I Smman A-F squad One of the hardest jobs bas-

ketball coaches face each week is trying to determine their team’s best 5-player combination to achieve victory. Some games call for a quick line-up. Others call for a defensive mind set, or the squad’s best rebounding unit.

However, for Akron- Fairgrove’s Coach Mike McKellar that call was made easy Friday when hisVikings hosted the Owen-Gage Bull- dogs. Dressing just 5 players, the

Vikings registered their second win on the season with an exciting 77-73 double- overtime decision.

The Bulldogs will get another crack at the Vikings next Monday when the 2 schools meet to open the Class D district in Caseville. Friday, the Bulldogs enter- tain Mt. Pleasant Baptist in their regular season finale.

AtAkron, both squads came out of the locker room playing ball that resembled teams with just 4 wins between them. But that changed for the hosts in the frame prior to the intermission.

Trailing 9-7, the Vikings used a 24- 16 run to gain a 6- point edge at the break. Jor- dan Ball and Kyle Brink paced the hosts with 17 markers during the frame. Brink recorded game scoring honors with 27 points that included a 7 for 7 effort at the foul line. As a team, the Vikings made 15 of 28 foul shots. Owen-Gage cashed in on only 9 of 14 charity

The Bulldogs rallied from a 44-38 deficit in the final frame behind Derek Howard and Chad Mellendorf. The Bulldog pair tossed in 12 tal- lies in the final period that helped send the contest into its first overtime knotted at 67.

The first overtime saw each team score 11 points. The Vikings secured victory by outswing their guests 16-Ip in the final overtime. \,

Owen-Gage got a team high 20 points from junior Justin Anthes. Anthes poured in 1 1 of his total in the overtimg periods, including 2 shot4 from behind the 3-point arc. On the evening, Anthes shot 100% from 3-point land in 3 tries.

Rounding out the Bulldogs’ double digit scorers were Howard with 16 points;’ Mellendorf with 12, and Joel: Bolzman with , l o : - Mellendorf was credited with 14 rebounds.

The Vikings had Ball with 24 points and Matt Erdody with 13.

The Owen-Gage volleyball team geared up for this week’s Class D districts with a convincing showing Satur- day at the Caseville Invita- tional tournament.

Coach Judy Campbell’s Bulldog spikers earned top honors by breezing their way through the North Central Thumb League tournament field without suffering a single setback. The Bulldogs conquered North Huron in the finals with straight wins of 15-10 and 15-3. Campbell’s spikets, undefeated in NCTL play, have run into little trouble among conference foes this season.

“It was a fun day. Everyone saw plenty of playing time,” said Campbell of Saturday’s outing.

Part of the fun could be in the fact that the Bulldogs will meet with these same league schools in district play.

The Caseville tourney championship tilt could re- peat itself in Saturday’s district championship in Port Hope. The Warriors will square off against Akron- Fairgrove (10 a.m,) to open district play, followed by an Owen-Gage/Port Hope meeting. Both winners will compete for the district crown at noon.

Campbell pointed to the efforts of several undcrclass- men during the win i n Caseville, and is confident her team’s success will continue at districts.

From the freshman class, Campbell received 28 points from Stephanie Lowry and 22 points from Erin Salcido. The pair also combined for 16 aces on the afternoon.

Salcido also recorded big numbers in the front row for the winners. She recorded a team best 23 kills on 46 at- tacks. Defensively, Salcido chipped i n with 23 digs.

Bulldogs Melanie Lemanski and Carrie Vargo, both sophomores, pitched in with 16 and 22 kills, respectively. Vargo also contributed 27 assists and 26 digs. The team oriented win also

had senior Melissa Vargo with a tearti high 36 points that included an impressive 20 ace serves. Vargo’s 35 digs and 34 assists were also tops among the Bulldog spikers. Classmate Tonya Smith added 32 digs and 19 kills.

Despite running their mark to 13-0 in conference play, Campbell cited several blun- ders against thevikings, who came into the match upset minded.

“Akron-Fairgrove was really up for this (match),” noted Campbell. It took us a long time to get our heads in the game. (We) had a lot of uncharacteristic missed serves, tipping misses, poor passes, and sets off the net, We were n o t thinking

&- Service The Cass City volleyball team could benefit from a favorable draw ddring this ’;aturday’s Class C district in Pigeon, Although it is doubtful that

the young Hawks will emerge as the district champions, Cass City could gain some valuahle experience, according to Coach Beth Howard.

“We’re in a good bracket and could make it to the fi- bials. But, again, it boils down to how much effort the girls put out. They have the talent and I hope it shows through

Saturday,” said Howard. The Hawks will challenge

Harbor Beach at 30 a.m. Sat- urday, with the winner ad- vancing to meet Ubly (at noon) for the right tu play in the district championship game. Competing i n the other brackets are host Lak- ers, Bad Axe and USA. For Cass City to succeed at

the district, Howard will need a better showing than last Thursday’s outing with the league champion Lakers.

The visitors handled the Hawks in straight ganics hy the scores of 15-7, 15-6 and

13-7. “(We had) lack of effort all

night long. The girls weren’t moving,” lamented Howard. “They’re going to have to work a lot harder than this in the districts.”

Cass City was led by Mel- issa Heinlein, who turned in 5 points, 6 assists and 3 digs.

At the net, the hosts had Lori Brown and Shelly Ulftg with 3 kills.

Residents support plan 1 to remember classmates Remembrance a touching tribute Letter to the editor (& Mr. Kun tz) :

This Ietter is a direct response to Rachel Hoard’s column in last week’s paper. One of the two students in question, Matt Miller, is my son. I use the word “is” because Matt is still and always will be one of my children.

He will live on i n my memory and that of his friends and classmates, and that is only right. I am dis- appointed that Matt’s classmates have been discouraged

in their attempt to remember Matt and Nathan at the time of graduation. Quite con- trary to Mr. Kuntz’s position that a remembrance at such a time would“g1orify death,” I feel it is a very touching tribute to their memory by classmates and an expression of their sorrow that Matt and Nathan are not here to participate in what should have been their graduation, too.

How does anyone come to terms with the death of a young person? By getting i t out in the open and talking

about it, by remembering the good times, not by being afraid to ever utter that person’s name again. I have encouraged by son’s friends to speak of Matt when they are around me, not to keep silent, being afraid of how I might react. I would much rather hear Tom Fulcher say, “Boy, Matt would have had something to say about that!” or Drew Kelly speculating, “I wonder if Matt would have driven a car the way he drove that motorcycle?” or Ryan Bennett, baiting Matt and waiting for a snappy come-

Class of ‘98 needs to remember Nathan, Matt As an alumni of Cass City

High School, I respond to Rachel Hoard’s article re- garding the remembrance of their classmates. Dorland Kuntz, I hope you are listen- ing.

Everyone at some point in their lives will be faced with death. It is an unfortunate part of life. Our society, however, becomes uncom- fortable with this topic. We prefer not to talk about it . We’re not sure how to com-

fort one another. We want to pretend that it doesn’t exist. It does exist and we must be allowed to grieve. People choose to grieve in a variety of ways. Some are emo- tional, some are quiet, some are ceremonial. None is wrong. Typically, we associate death with the elderly. Acceptance is more difficult when a child dies. It doesn’t seem fair and the grieving process becomes confused. When teenagers are touched

Class wants to remember life, not glorify death Dear Editor,

It seems apparent to me that Mr. Kuntz has fortunately never had to suffer the loss of a child or maybe he would understand that what these students want to do has nothing to do with glorifying death but instead with RE- MEMBERING LIFE, the life

meaningful to the students and I’m sure to the families, who have only memories left of their children.

Of course as a parent we w i I1 ALWAYS remem ber our child who has died and it means a lot to us to know that others remember them too! I hope someone will step up

and make sure this is allowed of these students who unfor- tunately died.

As a parent who has had to suffer the tragic loss of a

to happen.

Thank you,

L. Shaw child, I think these students should be commended for wanting to remember their classmates who tragically won’t be there with them at this great milestone in their life.

I’m appalled to think Mr. Kuntz or anyone else would want to stop something this

by death they need an outlet in which to express their feel- ings.

The young people of this graduating class want (need) to remember their classmates. It doesn’t matter how they have chosen to do this. What matters is they are grieving, they are facing death, and they are realizing that there can be happiness in the midst of tragedy. Mr, Kuntz, you should applaud your students for growing UP.

To Dorland Kuntz: It has been your history to be dis- couraging and negative when making decisions for the students of Cass City High School. Possibly you are uncomfortablc with the reality of death. You have chosen to continue to foster society’s fear and depersonalization of the end of life. Maybe you have never lost anyone close to you. This expression of re- spect and friendship should not be forbidden. I would expect you instead to serve as a role model for these im- pressionable teenagers. I strongly urge you to recon- sider and encourage strong friendships and the acceptance of death as reality. Apparently your students have far surpassed you.

To the 1998 graduating class. I encourage you to be assertive and persistent. Strive to establish this wonderful “tradition” and “set the precedent” for future students to remember those close to them. This is only the beginning of many road blocks you will face on life’s arduous journey. Pursue all your avenues. Most importantly, remember that whatever the outcome, Nathan and Matthew will be with you on graduation day.

I am very pleased that Matt’s classmates choose to honor his memory, and I ap- ’

prove of Collecn Cartwright’s thoughtful sug- ; gestion of an empty chair: holding a flower as being a; tasteful display. There is nothing maudlin or morbid, about remembering friends,: whether living or dead. 1

It has always been my phi-; losophy that we are all equals, and should treat each other: accordingly. Why is Matt: any less equal because he is? not here to represent him-! self?

Please, Mr. Kuntz, recon-: sider your position and allowb this tribute. So what if it’s: never been done before‘!: Maybe it should have been.; If you are worried about. starting a“tradition,” I would: like to ask exactly what is: wrong with such a lovely thought? Without resorting to name-calling and dropping into a four year old mentality, I would like to say that i t seems to me that to refuse such a reasonable request is insensitive, to say thc least. I will be present on May 22

at what should have been Matt’s graduation night, and I will hope to see two empty chairs, each with a flower in loving memory of a classmate who will be there in spirit.

Dear Editor: t # ?

I am writing in response t& the Red Hawk Recap articlc: by Rachel Hoard in referenc4 to a graduation rememhranca for Nathan Weippert a n d Mat thew Miller. Although I understand Mr:

Kuntz’s concern, two empg chairs with a flower placed on each in memory of these boys does not glorify death. The empty chair signifies their special place on this earth and the flower signifies not only their continuing spiritual existence but their living memory in the hearts of their family and friends. This is a very touching ges-

ture by the Class of “98” and would make an excellent tradition to start in memory of any classmate who leaves u s tragically, as long as the child’s family agrees.

can serve as bank employees at one time, the program is expected to hcnefit all students, Miklovic said. “It’s intended to be a savings program for the rest of the stu- de n t s .”

Students made their first deposits Feb. 17, and they will continue to have opportunities to add to their nest eggs every other wcek. Early withdrawals will not be allowed, and the last deposit session is scheduled for May 19.

After that, the bank staff will add up each customer’s total and issue checks made

Cass City elementary students are getting a first-hand look at banking and a lesson in saving their pennies, plus interest, for a rainy day.

The “Junior Banking Pro- gram” got underway Feb. 17 at Campbell Elementary School, where students 1 i ned up to make real deposits into real savings accounts.

School officials have ex- perimented with similar activities in the past, but this one is unique in that students are also running the “bank.” There are student tellers, security guards, maintenance peoplc - even advertising people.

The program is part of the Cchool-to-Work Elementary Design Initiative, according to Campbell Elementary Principal Jody Miklovic, who noted the effort is being funding by a School-to-Work

grant awarded to the Cass City, USA, Akron-Fairgrove, Mayville and Millington school districts.

The goal is to expose students to all aspects of banking as well as the various career opportunities available in the field, Miklovic said.

“There’s a lot of interest from the kids. I think it will be a good experience for them. “In order to get this up and

running, you have to have the sponsorship of a local business,” Miklovic explained, adding Thumb National Bank stepped in to participate, with Employees Ben Schott, credit analyst, and Colleen Langenburg, mortgage loan officer, working directly with the students. “This has been quite a part-

nership,” Mi klovic said. “(Tuscola Technology Cen-

ter drafting instructor) Dan Derfi n y Is students devel oped the blueprints for a 3-teller station. They designed i t , then (Cass City High School industrial arts instructor) Dave Hoard and his students built the station. At the same time, Miklovic

continued, “Our teachers have been involved, discuss- ing the job opportunities with students.” The Campbell banking staff

totals 20 students; 6 tellers plus 2 alternatives, 2 advertising specialists, 2 secretar- ies, 2 security guards and 2 vice presidents and 4 maintenance personnel, all working under the direction o f bank “president” Ben Schott.

The staff was chosen from a field of more than 100 interested in students.

“All the students who wanted to apply (for a job) had to apply for it,” Miklovic said. “Ben screened the ap-

God saw him getting tired, And a cure was not to be.

So He put His a r m around him And whispered, "Come with me." With tearful eyes I watched him

And saw him pass away. Although I loved him dearly, I could not make him stay,

His golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest.

God broke my heart to prove to me, HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.

PAGE FOURTEEN CASS CITY CHRONICLE - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1998 CASS CITY, MICHIGAN

Blame El Nino

Surplus supply of salt not serious, officials say Cass City DPW Supt. Gary

Barnes figures he’ll probably have to find another place to store the village’s ball tractor this summer.

McKellar “student of month’’

Senior Tara McKellar has been named the February “student of the month” at Owen-Gage High School.

Tara McKellar McKellar, daughter of Gary

and Janice McKellar, 5232 Brown Rd., Gagetown, has been active in National Honor Society, 3.0 Honors Club, pep club, school play, yearbook and French Club, and serves as newspaper editor, student council secretary and class secretary. A teacher’s aide and “read-

ing buddy,” McKellar was homecoming queen and a snowball representative, and has been a member of the school volleyball and basket- ball teams. Her future plans include at-

tending Saginaw Valley State University to study social work.

It’s no big deal, just a mi- nor inconvenience. Still, the village doesn’t of-

ten near the end of a winter season with a big surplus of road salt - about 82 tons currently - which is housed i n a small building that doubles for summer equipment storage during the busy summer months.

“We buy 50-ton truckloads of salt, and we usually get 3 truckloads a year,” Barnes said. “We usually try to get it (salt supply) right down to nothing by the end of winter because we like to store our ball tractor in there, but i t doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.” El Nino is believed respon-

sible for the strange weather seen during the winter of 1997-98, according to weather experts, who say the Pacific Ocean-warming phe- nomenon has affected weather patterns worldwide.

Locally, this winter has been unusually mild both in terms of temperature and precipitation. According to statistics com-

piled at the Cass City Waste- waterTreatment Plant, snowfall this winter has totaled fewer than 15 inches - 2 inches in November. 3.85 inches in December and 8.6 inches in January. There was no measurable snow in Feb- ruary.

In contrast, more than 41 inches of snowfall was recorded last winter, 42.6 inches in 1995-96, 29.32 inches i n 1994-95, 35 .4 inches in 1993-94, SO inchcs in 1992-93, 43.2 inches in 1991-92, and 46.1 inches in

average high was 40 degrees and the average low, 28 degrees. Compare those figures to February 1994, when the average high and low were 27 degrees and 9 degrees, respectively. So far this winter, Cass City

DPW employees have spread about 88 tons of salt on local roads. That may sound like a lot, but it’s minimal compared to past years.

“Last year by this time we used 160 tons,” Barnes said. “A lot of what we’ve used this year was used in the first part of the year, We haven’t used any salt since Jan. 30.”

Provided Mother Nature doesn’t blast the area with spring snow storms, the village will see some savings this year. The village pays about $34 per ton for road salt, which is treated with anti-clumping agents for a longer storage life.

County road officials also expect to see some savings this year, mainly in the form of less equipment use and fewer man hours, according to Jim Miklovic, director of finance for the Tuscola County Road Commission.

Miklovic said overtime for crews working on weekends and holidays represents the biggest expense. And so far, he added, the county is realizing scme savings in that area.

As for road salt, Miklovic had no figures, but indicated the county’s supply is ample. “We’ve used more salt than

you might think for the kind of winter we’ve had. We’ve had some slippery conditions, especially on the state highways,” he said. “Last year, we had to re-or-

der salt. We used everything we had, hut we’ll probably haw a lot of salt left over this year.”

and 2 tickets for a banquet dinner.

New to the retreat is a Fri- day night early-bird option for an additional $10. Retreaters may opt to arrive after 7 p.m. for a preliminary session with Tom Harmon. Overnighters will be accom- modated in Bay Shore’s new duplex cabin housing, complete with private restrooms, showers and central heat. An all -you-can -eat breakfast will be served Saturday morning .

Covenant Men began in 1990 with annual sessions hosted by Colwood United Brethren Church. In 1997, retreat leaders sought affli- ation with Bay Shore Camp for the benefit of larger meeting and recreation facilities. Bay Shore took up the event

under its Special Ministries umbrella, setting aside a weekend in February last year. But just hours before the event was to begin, an ice jam at the mouth of the Sebewaing River pushed icy water into camp, flooding out the retreat and most camp buildings, “That’s a bad memory,” ad-

mitted Camp Director Lew Tibbits. “We had to call over 100 guys and tell them not to come, then turn around and try to cope with river water coming in through the gate. It was a sad day:’ Damages were enormous in

Repairs were underway for nearly 3 months, but completed in time for camp to open on time in May.

“That’s all behind us,” said Tibbits. “Camp is now lo0 percent restored and we’re going to try this again.” Following Saturday’s Lum-

berjack Breakfast for over- night guests and registration of all Saturday-only retreaters, everyone will at- tend general speaking sessions at 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. After lunch, the entire after-

noon is available for recreation or relaxation. If weather and conditions on Saginaw Bay permit, ice fish- ing and cross-country skiing could be available. While ladies are not invited

to participate in the daytime meetings, they may be invited to join a spouse or friend at 5 p.m. for the banquet dinner and the final speaking session that follows.

Dinner is served at 5 p.m., and the final session begins at 6:15 p.m, The event is scheduled to close by 8 p.m.
