tively impact the quality of
life in Lapeer County, she
said.

Artists sought for project

IMLAY CITY The
Imlay City Downtown
Development Authority is
again hosting the
Downtown Art in Action
initiative this year.
DDA Director Dana
Walker says the goal of the
initiative is to have local
artists create large pieces
of artwork that will be
placed on buildings or in
public spaces throughout
downtown. Signs listing
the artist and the title of
the piece will be posted
next to each creation.
Artists will work from
August 7 through
September first at the
DDA-owned building
located at 150 Bancroft
Street. Anyone interested
will be able to stop in and
watch the artists create
their pieces, which become
property of the DDA.
At the conclusion of
the working period, a cel-
ebration will be held where
the artists, public officials
and community members
can enjoy a reception
marking the projects com-
pletion.
According to the
Americans for the Arts
Council, the Arts promote
true prosperitythey
ennoble and inspire us-
fostering creativity, good-
ness, and beauty, Walker
says. It is with this belief
in mind that the DDA is
sponsoring and organizing

Action initiative for the
second consecutive year.
Artists are being
sought to participate in the
initiative. The artist may
use any type of medium to
create artwork that attach-
es to an exterior wall,
directly onto a building
(once permission is
received), or a freestand-
ing piece.
It is the DDAs goal
to have the artwork remain
in downtown for years to
come, Walker says.
During the initiative
period, Walker says artists
will submit a thumbnail
sketch or rendering of his/
her proposed piece(s) to
the DDA for review.
It will not be the intent
of the DDA to micro-man-
age the artist, but rather
answer any questions the
artist may have and ensure
the artwork fits the vision
of the City, DDA and com-
munity, she says.

Mitchell will gain respect by listening to all voices
Our District 10
Representative Paul
Mitchell says he is firm in
his commitment not to meet
with his constituents in a
public town hall. Hes pret-
ty sure that people will be
rude to him. Mr. Mitchell is
opposed to rude behavior,

potential for facing some

angry and might yell loudly
and say things in an upset,
angry tone of voice. Anger
has been called a secondary
emotion, connected to
unmet needs. Like feeling
scared because of facing
bankruptcy due to over-
whelming medical bills.
It has reached almost a
moral issue with him, that
he will not expose himself
to angry, rowdy folks as
some of his braver col-
leagues in the House of
Representatives have. I can
see why he would be hesi-
tant, looking at a list of
repeals to regulations that
he has voted for, as listed in
the article in the May 17
issue of the Tri-City Times.
Paul Mitchell voted to
reverse a Securities and
Exchange Commission rule
designed to discourage cor-
ruption, which energy com-
panies viewed as too oner-
ous. So he voted in favor
of energy company corrup-
tion? I believe this regula-
tion had to do with energy
companies bribing foreign
governments. Then he
voted to repeal an FCC rule

the new Health Care Act.
At the Port Huron Town
Hall without Paul, one of
the audience members read
a long list of pre-existing
conditions that again will
be factors in our insurance
costs and so our access to
sickness care. We were
asked to stand if we had
one of these conditions. By
the end of the list: allergies,
asthma, eczema, diabetes,
cancer, heart disease, arthri-
Mr. Mitchell voted to
repeal a regulation that pro-
tected streams from coal
mining waste running into
them. This repeal ended
the Department of Interior's
Stream Protection Rule to
benefit the coal industry
removing buffers zones,
allowing streams to be con-
taminated by coal mining
debris. Costing a fossil
industry any money to
require environmental pro-
tections would be burden-
some. The degrading and
contamination of streams
and rivers is also burden-
some, Mr. Mitchell.
He voted to reverse a
rule that restricted gun pur-

to negotiate my way over

The Pauls Towing

He makes quick work of
changing out the flat, and

pany me to the gas station
to make sure theres
enough air in the donut

how the flat tire is worn,
and shows me how it
indicates that I needed a

checks out the other front

need. He doesnt have to
take the time to show me
these things. But he does,

It was first diagnosed
in 1983 by Saskia Davis,
who made the following
observations:
Heres a creeping dis-
ease youve got to watch
out for. Its called Inner
Peace, and if were not
careful, it could reach
epidemic proportions.
Signs and symptoms of
Inner Peace include the
following:
An increased tenden-
cy to let things happen
rather than make them
happen.
Frequent attacks of
smiling.
Feelings of being
connected with others and
nature.
Frequent overwhelm-
ing episodes of apprecia-
tion.
A tendency to think
and act spontaneously
rather than from fears
An unmistakable
ability to enjoy each
moment.
A loss of ability to
worry.
A loss of interest in
conflict.
A loss of interest in
interpreting the actions of
others.
A loss of interest in
judging others.
A loss of interest in
judging self.
Gaining the ability to
love without expecting
anything in return.
If you have most of
these symptoms, it may be
too late to turn back. If you
know someone with these
symptoms, remain exposed

Inner Peace may be well
into its infectious stage.
I hope its contagious!

Jerry Linenger was
born January 16, 1955, and
raised in East Detroit. In
addition to being a Navy
Captain, he is also a medi-
cal doctor. Linenger
joined astronaut selection
in August 1992. He flew
on STS-64 (September
9-20, 1994) aboard the
Space Shuttle, Discovery.
In completing his first mis-
sion, Linenger logged 10
days, 22 hours, 51 minutes
in space, completed 177
orbits, and traveled over
4.5 million miles. Thats
about 180 free trips for fre-
quent flier miles.
In July 1975 the United
States and Russia began to
cooperate with each other
in space with the Apollo-
Soyuz mission. Following
his first mission, in
January 1995, Linenger
began training at the
Gagarin Cosmonaut
Training Center in Star
City, Russia, in preparation
for a long-duration stay
aboard the Russian Space
Station Mir. All training
was conducted using the
Russian language.
In completing the nearly
five-month mission,
Linenger logged approxi-
mately 50 million miles
(the equivalent of over 110
round trips to the Moon
and back), more than 2,000
orbits around the Earth,
and traveled at an average
speed of 18,000 miles per
hour.

In the past six years,
the budgeting process has
been completed by early
June. The constitutional
deadline for budgets to be
in place is Oct. 1, but if
the process does not final-
ize until the fall, local
governments and school
districts are pretty much
just guessing how much
state money will be invest-
the summer. By finishing
the state budget in June,
these local entities will
know exactly how much
state money to include in
their budgets.
In addition, by budget-
ing early we are avoiding
even the threat of a gov-
ernment shutdown like
those that occurred in
2007 and 2009. State gov-
ernment operations, ser-
vices and programs that
are vital to the day-to-day
lives of Michigan residents
should never be imperiled
because elected officials
were unable to do their
jobs in a timely manner.

Lemonade sale to help Flint residents
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
ALMONT There is
sometimes nothing more
refreshing than a cool
glass of water on a hot day.
Or better yet, how
about a cold glass of lem-
onade?
On Friday, June 2, stu-
dents in Ms. Kloeckners
2nd-grade class at Orchard
Primary will host a lemon-
ade sale to benefit people
still being affected by the
Flint water crisis.
Kloeckner said the
Flint fundraiser was the
idea of one of her second
graders who had been
inspired to help others
during a class science les-
son.
So inspired, that the
student challenged her fel-
low classmates to join the
effort.
Preliminary donations
from students friends, rel-
atives and neighbors are
being used to cover the
cost of t-shirts, advertising
and materials necessary to
host the June 2 lemonade
sale.
Lemonade will be sold

Capac native Darcy
Flynn, a retired certified

Securities and Exchange
Commission, currently
resides in Maryland but
recognizes the importance
of what Lelito is doing. His
CAPAC Fund gave $600 to
middle and high school stu-
dents attending Capac
schools.
The intent of my fund
is to provide opportunities
for Capac youth to make
good choices and avoid any
kind of abuse, whether it be
bullying or drugs, Flynn
said.
Encouraging students
to get involved with activi-
ties like sports directs their
focus in a positive way, so
removing barriers like pay
to play fees is crucial.
Other support for this
collaborative effort came
from organizations around
the county. Money was
donated by the Port Huron

East China School District

PTOs; and the Community

Although, like Flynn,
Lelitos career path took
him out of state, the St.

nizes the importance of
giving back to his home-

This fund provides
opportunities for youth to
promote skill development,

he said there appears to be
shared willingness on the
part of the village, town-

Master Gardener class starts in August Home

IMLAY CITY
Garden enthusiasts who
want to learn more about
the amazing world of
plants and share that
knowledge with their com-
munity are encouraged to
register for an upcoming
Michigan State University
Extension Master
Gardener Program class.
A 14 session practical
training course will be
offered at Heritage Church,
543 N. Cedar St., on
Thursday nights from 5-9
p.m. from August 24
through December 7. Cost
is $300 which includes a
1,000 page training manu-
al.
The MSU Extension
Master Gardener Program
connects gardeners across
the state to MSUs faculty
and resources. Participants
have access to information
generated at one of the
nations top plant science
teaching and research uni-
versities and the chance to
use this knowledge to
improve their communi-
ties and enrich their lives,
Extension literature states.
The training consists of
approximately 45 hours of
classes on plant science,
soil science, integrated
pest management, diag-
nostics, annuals and peren-
nials, woody ornamentals,
lawns, vegetables, small
fruits, tree fruits, house-
hold and nuisance pests,
indoor plants and garden-
ing practices to protect
water quality. Participants
must commit to attend all
the training classes and
complete all (open book)
quizzes and final exam
with an overall score of at
least 80%. Missed classes
(up to two) may be made
up by attending class lec-
ture on the same topic
offered in other locations.
Viewing approved record-
ed sessions is another
make up option but is less
engaging for course par-
ticipants.
After completing the
training, Extension Master
Gardener trainees must
complete 40 hours of
approved horticulture-
related service within one
year to earn their MSU
Extension Master Gardener
certification. Through
these volunteer activities,
trainees educate others in
their local community on
the science-based, environ-
mentally sound gardening
practices learned during
their training, Extension
leaders note.
Examples of volunteer
projects and service may
include:
working with students
to design an elementary
school garden.
creating a horticulture
therapy program at a senior
center.
caring for educational
display gardens at senior
centers, parks and other
public sites.
teaching classes on
how to garden.
providing technical
assistance to community
members establishing veg-
etable gardens to meet
local nutritional needs.
mentoring teachers in
outdoor and indoor class-
rooms using gardening
curricula
Payment for the Imlay
City Master Gardener class
can be made by check (due
by August 4) or credit card

7:00 p.m. 819 N. Main Street, Almont,

hookah bars/lounges as a permitted

ments may be submitted up to the
