and headed south for a his-

Sixth, seventh and

days in the nations capitol
where they visited the
Cemetery, the National
Mall and took in a Baltimore

a few.
In addition to seeing all

group also gained access to
some more exclusive plac-

Honoring the Declaration of Independence
Editors note: In com-
memoration of the Fourth
of July, we are reprinting
the Declaration of
Independence as originally
written in its entirety.
In Congress July 4,
1776. The unanimous
Declaration of the Thirteen
United States of America.
W HEN, in the Course
of human Events, it
becomes necessary for one
People to dissolve the
Political Bands which have
connected them with
another, and to assume,
among the Powers of the
Earth, the separate and
equal Station to which the
Laws of Nature and of
Natures GOD entitle them,
a decent Respect to the
Opinions of Mankind
requires that they should
declare the Causes which
impel them to the
Separation.
We hold these Truths to
be self-evident, that all
Men are created equal, that
they are endowed, by their
CREATOR, with certain
unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life,
Liberty, and the Pursuit of
Happiness.That to secure
these Rights, Governments
are instituted among Men,
deriving their just Powers
from the Consent of the
Governed, that whenever
any Form of Government
becomes destructive of
these Ends, it is the Right
of the People to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute
new Government, laying
its Foundation on such
Principles, and organizing
its Powers in such Form, as
to them shall seem most
likely to effect their Safety
and Happiness. Prudence,
Outstanding Rotarians

Imlay school board
candidates sought
By Maria Brown
mbrown@pageone-inc.com
IMLAY CITY
Candidates are being
sought to fill a vacancy on
the Imlay City School
Board.
On Monday, the board
accepted the resignation of
trustee Dave Spoelma
whos served since 2014.
Spoelma, a pastor at
the Imlay City Christian
Reformed Church since
2011, has taken a new posi-
tion with a church in
Holland, Michigan. His
resignation is effective July
1. Spoelma was not in
attendance at Mondays
meeting.
Well miss his sage
advice and appreciate his
level-headed thinking,
Vice President Greg Dennis
said.
The school district is
now accepting letters of
interest from residents
whod like to fill the empty
spot on the board.
Candidates are asked to
submit that letter and a list
of qualifications to Supt.
Dr. Stu Cameron by July 7
at 4 p.m.
Whoever is appointed
indeed, will dictate, that
Governments long estab-
lished, should not be
changed for light and tran-
sient Causes; and accord-
ingly all Experience hath
shewn, that Mankind are
more disposed to suffer,
while Evils are sufferable,
than to right themselves by
abolishing the Forms to
which they are accustomed.
But when a long Train of
Abuses and Usurpations,
pursuing invariably the
same Object, evinces a
Design to reduce them
under absolute Despotism,
it is their Right, it is their
Duty, to throw off such
Government, and to pro-
vide new Guards for their
future Security. Such has
been the patient Sufferance
of these Colonies; and such
is now the Necessity which
constrains them to alter
their former Systems of
Government. The History
of the present King of
Great-Britain is a History
of repeated Injuries and
Usurpations, all having in
direct Object the
Establishment of an abso-
lute Tyranny over these
States. To prove this, let
Facts be submitted to a
candid World.
HE has refused his
Assent to Laws, the most

HE has forbidden his
Governors to pass Laws of

obtained; and when so sus-
pended, he has utterly

To be eligible, candi-

Michigan for at least 30
days.
Letters can be brought
or mailed to Cameron at
the Educational Service
Center, 634 W. Borland
Rd.
The board plans to
interview candidates at its
July 17 meeting.
The eventual appoint-
ment will represent the sec-
ond time in six months that
the board has filled a
vacancy. In January, Dr.
Marcel Lamb was chosen
to fill the seat left open by
Dan Campbells departure.
Campbell stepped down in

declaring themselves
invested with Power to leg-
islate for us in all Cases
whatsoever.
HE has abdicated
Government here, by
declaring us out of his
Protection, and waging
War against us.
HE has plundered our
Seas, ravaged our Coasts,
burnt our Towns, and
destroyed the Lives of our
People.
HE is, at this Time,
transporting large Armies
of foreign Mercenaries to
complete the Works of
Death, Desolation, and
Tyranny, already begun
with Circumstances of
Cruelty and Perfidy, scarce-
ly paralleled in the most
barbarous Ages, and totally
unworthy the Head of a
civilized Nation.
HE has constrained our
Fellow-Citizens, taken
Captive on the high Seas,
to bear Arms against their
Country, to become the
Executioners of their
Friends and Brethren, or to
fall themselves by their
Hands.
HE has excited domes-
tic Insurrections amongst
us, and has endeavoured to
bring on the Inhabitants of
our Frontiers, the merciless
Indian Savages, whose
known Rule of Warfare, is
an undistinguished
Destruction, of all Ages,
Sexes, and Conditions.
IN every Stage of these
Oppressions we have
Petitioned for Redress in
the most humble Terms:
Our repeated Petitions have
been answered only by
repeated Injury. A Prince,
whose Character is thus
marked by every Act which
may define a Tyrant, is
unfit to be the Ruler of a
free People.
NOR have we been
wanting in Attentions to
our British Brethren. We
have warned them, from
Time to Time, of Attempts

commissioners on Tuesday
(June 20) voted to make the
final payment toward the
cost of the recently-com-
pleted Stormwater/Asset
Management/Wastewater
(SAW) grant project.
The final bill tallied
$80,575, thus fulfilling the
citys share of the projects
overall cost.
The bulk of the proj-
ects cost was covered by a
state-approved $828,879
SAW Grant awarded to the
city in 2014.
Under the terms of the
SAW grant, the state paid
100 percent of the $507,042
cost to implement a
Wastewater Asset
Management plan for the
city; and 90 percent
($332,591) toward the
implementation of a
Stormwater Asset Plan.
The three-year project
was engineered by the
Spicer Group, whose repre-
sentative John Olson
recently detailed the vari-
ous components of the
project.
They included:
Computer mapping of
the citys sewer systems,
cleaning and televising san-
itary sewers lines, service
lines and manholes to
determine their condition
and need of repair or
replacement
Inspecting and assess-
ing the citys three pump-
ing stations at Almont/
Newark roads, the Industrial
Park and Reek Road at

that the aging pump at

of improvement, while the
pumps at the Industrial
Park and on Reek Road
were deemed to be operat-
ing adequately.

assessment of the citys

resulted in recommenda-

be made.
Olson noted that the
finished project allows the
city to identify problem
areas and prioritize which
projects require most
immediate attention.

Heroism: Officers, resident honored
from page 1-A
In a June 10, 2017 let-
ter to the Hundred Club,
Pike outlined the circum-
stances that led to the indi-
viduals heroic response to
a destructive and deadly
fire.
On Wednesday, June
1, 2016 at around 2:14
a.m., Lapeer County
Central Dispatch sent out a
call of a building fire at
112 E. Third St. in Imlay
City, said Pike in the let-
ter. Officers Rock, Martin
and Brooks responded
immediately. Upon their
arrival they found the rear
of the building already
engulfed in flames.
They found the
upstairs resident (Ms. Lee)
at the rear of the building,
he continued. Ms. Lee
had been awakened by a
smoke detector and found
the building on fire.
Despite the fire, she alerted
other residents and evacu-
ated them from the build-
ing.
Pike further explained
in the letter that the burn-
ing building was connected
to other adjoining struc-
tures, making it apparent
doubt this new technology
will be important as we
move forward. Its a plus
for the city and residents.
Road Diet report
Youatt reported that the
recent restriping of M-53
from First Street north to
M-21, referred to by MDOT
as a road diet, appears to
be serving its purpose, and
without causing major
inconveniences for motor-
ists.
The lane reconfigura-
tion was adopted by the
city commission as a way
to calm traffic flow and
provide greater safety for
motorists along the busy
highway.
So far, Ive heard no
complaints or problems,
said Youatt. People seem

The big test will come

when traffic flow peaks,
he continued. Ive asked
the police department to
monitor the area.
The road diet is sub-
ject to a one-year trial peri-
od, after which the city will
evaluate its success as a

dents.
