special event in my life as the son

World War I and World War II.

cemetery at the Civil War monument

sound of Taps played.

Dismissals all around in Konschuh lawsuits
Judge’s attorney plans to appeal to higher court
By Catherine Minolli
cminolli@pageone-inc.com
LAPEER COUNTY
— Two years and thou-
sands of dollars later, the
claims and counterclaims
involving Circuit Court
Judge Byron Konschuh and
current and former county
officials and Lapeer County
itself have been dismissed.
On Wednesday, May
15, Sixth Circuit Court
Judge Shalina Kumar
summed up her findings in
a 39-page order dismissing
the defamation suit
Konschuh filed in May of
2017 against Lapeer
County, former Prosecuting
Attorney Tim Turkelson,
former Assistant
Prosecutors John Miller
and Cailin Wilson, Lapeer
County Controller John
Biscoe and Treasurer Dana
Miller; citing the govern-
mental immunity among
other things.
Judge Kumar also dis-
missed a multi-count coun-
terclaim filed by the defen-
dants against Konschuh
stating that they were
barred by the statute of lim-
itations.
Konschuh, through his
attorney Tom Pabst, alleged
that his reputation was
damaged when he was

falsely accused of embez-
zling funds from 2008 to
2013 when he was Lapeer
County Prosecutor.
In 2014, Konschuh
faced five felony counts of
embezzlement by a public
official of more than $50
following an investigation
prompted by then
Prosecutor Tim Turkelson.
Turkelson contacted the
state attorney general’s
office when he could find
no protocol for a bad check
recovery fee that crossed
his desk.
The case was assigned
to special prosecutor Deana
Finnegan of Shiawassee
County. In question were
some 42 bad check recov-
ery fee checks totalling
$1,802 which were depos-
ited into Konschuh’s per-
sonal accounts. A protract-
ed court battle followed,
with Konschuh’s then-
attorney Michael
Sharkey—who beat
Turkelson for the Lapeer
County Prosecutor’s seat in
the November, 2016 elec-
tion—asserted that the
funds in question were not
“public funds” and there-
fore no embezzlement
occurred. Sharkey also
argued that the funds were

Konschuh entered a ‘no

of time, his record was
cleared.

on behalf of the defendants

Parents upset over
coach’s dismissal
Families ask that Imlay district

IMLAY CITY —
School board members
heard from concerned par-
ents at their May 20 meet-
ing regarding the recent fir-
ing of an assistant coach.
Several asked that dis-
trict leaders take action to
bring Keil Jorgensen back
to the wrestling program
coaching staff.
“We had two great
coaches in this wrestling
program and I would hate
to see a sport on the up go
down,” said parent Paul
Smith.
Kristie Torres read a
prepared letter to the board
noting the wrestling pro-
gram’s recent successes
and praised Jorgensen for
passing his passion for the
sport on to Imlay City ath-
letes.
“He’s had a huge
impact on the wrestlers and
their families,” Torres said.
Denise Kovacik, who’s
nephew is on the team, said
the wrestling program is
like a family and they are
saddened at losing a mem-
ber of that family with
Jorgensen’s dismissal.

That familiar and much

my dad wired throughout
the entire house every sin-
gle Memorial Day.
We’d tune in with
excitement to be part of
the big race that my dad
was a fan of for as long as
I can remember.
Listening to all the
excitement on the radio
helped us feel connected to
the Indianapolis 500, par-
ticularly since my dad was
there every single year. For
him, it was a highly await-
ed Men Only vacation he
treated himself to.
Prepping for the long
weekend with his “buddy
boy Bob Rice” was a big
event in and of itself. My
mom made dozens of sala-
mi sandwiches and snacks,
coolers were stocked sky
high with bottled beer, and
then secured to a stainless
steel dolly my dad made
for easy transportation at
the track.
He started going to the
race in 1949. It was the
33rd Indy 500, and my dad
paid a whopping $7.58 for
the ticket. He saved every
single ticket since then,
and they’re now framed

the
grandstands. My dad was
one of those hit with the
fuel, and it was scary. But
it was also thrilling when
he brought home a copy of
the Indianapolis Star (I
think), where he was inter-
viewed and quoted by a
reporter who covered the
tragedy.
While we enjoyed the
intensity and high powered
action of the 500—includ-
ing the newspaper inter-
view— we really relished
having a weekend on our
own, so to speak, as the
rules would lighten up just
a bit when Dad wasn’t
around.
It was right around the
end of my 9th grade
year—1972—when the
fuel spray in the stands
story became minor in
comparison to what hap-
pened at that particular
Indianapolis 500.
My mom let me have a
camp out in the backyard
with some of my fellow
nature-loving girlfriends—
something we frequently
did at each other’s houses.
We were still quite bleary-
eyed when my older sister
came out to the tent. Her
to work with me today?”
she asked. She was 18, and
in her senior year of high
school.
Weird. Roseann gener-
ally couldn’t wait to get
away from the three bratty
siblings she often had to
look after when we were
growing up. We drove her
crazy by using her beauty
products or making too
much noise in the morn-
ings on weekends when
she got to sleep in.
In her senior year of
high school, Roseann
worked as a lifeguard at
the pool on Newburg
Road, and even though I’m
a huge fan of all things
water, I wondered what
was up with the invite.
“We can bring lunch
and have a picnic,” she
said, again sounding super
sweet.
A little bit later, my
little sisters and I learned
what Roseann was trying
to shield us from: My
dad was in ICU in a
hospital in Indianapolis,
having suffered a major
heart attack. He was
given his last rites. They
weren’t sure he was
going to make it.
The ensuing weeks
became a blur of worry
and partnership; my sisters
and I knitted together by
fear but bravely forging
through a new, grown-up
life.
Admission ticket for 1949 Indianapolis 500 race,
the first of many attended by author’s dad.
My mom, of course,
had gone immediately to
Indiana and stayed by my
dad’s side for weeks. In the
interim, Roseann became
the head of the household
and juggled the remainder
of her senior year in high
school, graduation, and all
of her extra-curricular
activities in the shadow of
the unknown of what life
would be like without our
dad. I will forever be in
awe of and grateful for the
strength of character she
modeled.
With the skill and
determination of an Army
sergeant, Roseann cooked
and did laundry and dele-
gated chores and duties
like a pro. It’s no wonder
years later she was named
by Crains Detroit Business
as one of the top 100
women in business in the
state.
My little sister Virginia
was just 8 at the time, and
my job was to make sure
she felt safe and secure.
We all looked after each
other in a way that was
duplicated again courtesy
of my dad, when he
entered hospice in
November of 2010 and
passed away three months
later.
After unexpectedly
surviving the heart attack,
which required a 6 month
long convalescence, my
dad used to say he had two
birthdays—one the day he
emerged from his mom’s
womb and the other the
day he had the heart
attack—which changed all
of our lives immensely. He
lightened up. He embraced
every single second of life,
and fulfilled a promise he
made in his hospital bed
that all of our days would
be filled with music. When
he recovered, he wired the
entire house for sound,
putting a speaker in every
single room.
This weekend, the
announcer’s words again
echoed through my radio.
We all still remember the
Indy 500 and the variety of
ways it affected our
lives—grateful for the les-
sons.

protection premium costs.
•A crackdown on fraud
and abuse by creating a
fraud task force, which
will help combat fraudu-
lent claims and drive down
car insurance costs.
•More financial over-
sight and transparency by
requiring new annual
reporting to the Legislature
by the Michigan
Catastrophic Claims
Association and establish-
ing more frequent indepen-

Michigan Department of

This plan marks a tre-
mendous victory for
Michigan drivers. The pro-
posal approved by the
Michigan House will
reduce car insurance rates
across the state by control-
ling fraud, reducing waste-
ful and redundant require-
ments, and shining a bright
light on incidents of abuse
rampant throughout
Michigan’s broken system.
This plan delivers on a
promise we made to
Michigan families to put an
end to skyrocketing car
insurance rates. It is my
hope that we will be able to
see the Governor sign this
plan into law and deliver
real relief to Michigan’s 7
million drivers.

Finally, a chance to see

about the location of old

turned off Washington

Friends and families of
four generations filed
down the aisles and into

infused the air for the
Season Finale.
I spied Roberta in the
orchestra between the
English horn and first
oboe. All I could see was
the crown of Roberta’s
head, and right fingers on
her oboe.
At last, Lizzy Vojtisek,
a Southfield Christian
junior, lifted her bow to
the strings. I heard tender-
call. With each repetition
of his lyrical refrain, I
rejoiced in the fulfillment
of growing beautiful
living things that fed hon-
eybees.
At the concert’s end, I
searched for Roberta in
vain. I wanted to thank her
for luring me off the farm
to hear her oboe in con-

The nature of self disclosure
H ave you ever been on
a first date that was
going really well until you
abruptly and inexplicably
blurted out something that
you immediately regretted
saying? Like, if ever there
was a wrong time to dis-
cuss your irritable bowel
syndrome, this was it?
Maybe you can relate to
someone who got carried
away and revealed a little
too much information
about themselves on
Facebook. Toothpaste can’t
be put back in its tube, and
nowhere is that lesson
taught in more embarrass-
ing fashion than on social
media.
Self-disclosure is a
central component to rela-
tionship development.
Intimacy is established
through an exchange of
self-disclosure.
Fascinatingly, we’re far
more apt to reveal personal
information about our-
selves to complete strang-

we are familiar with.
The sparkling, safe streets of Tokyo
I f I was to put my recent
trip to Tokyo in a nut-
shell, I would bypass talk-
ing about the impossibly
spotless streets or the
clockwork-like public
transportation system that I
was lucky to experience,
but rather mention the sing-
ing toilets in the 7-Elevens.
Well, not truly “sing-
ing.” Navigating the but-
tons on the control pad that
projects from the toilet’s
side, one can unleash the
sound of running water and
their stall as they sit back,
relax and, well… Of
course, those who antici-
pate this feature —along
with the “spray” function,
which you can intricately
customize in terms of
warmth, pressure and
movement—can also
expect the 7-Eleven rest-
room to be spic and span.
I can respect a country that
respects its restroom expe-
rience.
This was a weeklong
sojourn I undertook to
Japan, and only within its
capital city. Joining me was
a pal from the US who is
also currently bumming
around Asia and is also
named Andrew.
The first thing that hit
me when I stepped off the
train from the airport was
the crispness of the sunlit
air. It swirled through my
lungs as I gazed at the
metropolis around me.
Vietnam at this time is boil-
ing hot and enclosed in a
coffin of vigor-sapping
humidity, so the northern
climate came as a surprise
respite. It was a bit cooler
than I had anticipated, too,
and I had just barely
packed appropriately for it.
Andrew and I stayed in
a neighborhood called
Ryogoku, which coinciden-
tally happens to hold the
national sumo stadium and
training center. We never
viewed a match, but we
often saw the wrestlers
themselves milling about
the area, doing their daily
chores; big, rotund men in
kimonos and flip flops rid-
ing bicycles, looking for
items in the nearby shops.
One of them followed me
into the bakery around the
corner one morning. I
counted four pastries on his
tray.
Each morning Andrew
and I took out the map and
looked for whichever local-
ity we hadn’t explored yet.
Shibuya, Akihabara,
Sumida, Shinjuku… What

being a tool of various reli-

istics. We
passed
through anime comic fanta-
sy shops in one, were
drowned in the pure, elec-
trified throb of condensed
humanity in a few others,
and yet we were able to
lounge in hip cafes in quiet
neighborhoods elsewhere.
Of course, everything is
expensive in Tokyo, but
one way Andrew and I
were able to cut down the
costs was to constantly buy
meals at convenience
stores, which are a true cul-
ture of their own in Japan.
Now, you probably
wouldn’t touch gas station
sushi back in America, but
in Japan, it’s fine. In fact,
it’s great, along with all the
other prepackaged meals
they offer. Eating while
standing on the street, how-
ever, is definitely not a
thing there, and we stood
out like a sore thumb as we
hung around outside the
door, fumbling with our
plastic trays and disposable
chopsticks
The blocky, grey archi-
tecture in Tokyo contains
an austere character that
mirrors that of the Japanese
themselves. Andrew and I
agreed that we walked
amid a cityscape that felt
like the concept of the
future that people had in
the ’80s: undeniably sharp
but still somehow dated.

Coming from Vietnam,
wandering around Tokyo
felt like walking within
some sort of efficient and
benevolent machine.
Everyone actually waits at
crosswalks until the green
walking sign is lit, rather
than blatantly jaywalking.
Even the smallest of alleys

Capac High
makes the list
School on list of U.S. News & World
Report’s 2019 Best High Schools
By Maria Brown
mbrown@pageone-inc.com
TRI-CITY AREA —
U.S. News and World
Report crunched the num-
bers and recently released
their 2019 Best High
School ranking.
Capac Community
Schools leaders were happy
to report they were named
the 216th best high school
in the state.
“We ranked third in St.
Clair County and we were
the top-rated school in the
Greater Thumb East
Conference. It is always
good to be recognized for
your efforts,”  Supt. Jeff
Terpenning said.
“Mrs. Kirby and the
entire high school staff
should be commended for
their efforts in achieving
this recognition. Of course,
we believe that the founda-
tion for such an award
starts as soon as a student
enters the halls of Capac

Survey aims to help
4CCF identify needs
Residents encouraged to fill
out needs assessment survey
By Catherine Minolli
cminolli@pageone-inc.com
TRI-CITY AREA —
Four County Community
Foundation Executive
Director Kathy Dickens
hopes area residents will
honor one simple request:
“Help us help you,”
Dickens says.
That help is in the form
of a Community Needs
Assessment Survey, avail-
able on the Foundation’s
website at 4ccf.org.
Dickens says the aim of
the survey is to determine
what the most pressing
needs are in the communi-
ties the Foundation
serves—Almont, Armada,
Capac, Dryden, Imlay City,
Metamora, Oxford,
Richmond and Romeo.
“The Foundation gets a
lot of grant dollars and
scholarships out, and the
intent of the survey is to
find out what the greatest
needs and interests are,”
Dickens says.
For example, Dickens
adds, if a primary need to
make sure students are feed
over the weekend, or that
residents are concerned
about drug abuse, the
Foundation will focus
efforts in those areas when
it comes to grant funds.
“Our aim is to better
serve our communities with
the funds we have avail-
able,” Dickens says.
Reserve spot for reunion
CAPAC — The Capac High School All Class
Reunion will take place on Sunday, June 23 at Holly
Meadows Golf Course, 4855 Capac Road. Doors open
at noon; dinner follows at 1 p.m. The cost is $20 per
person. Make checks payable to CHS Reunion and
mail to P.O. Box 522, Capac, MI 48014. Deadline to
reserve a spot is June 1, 2019.

even before at home so
congratulations go to our
entire district, parents and
community.”
U.S. News recently
changed their Best High
School’s ranking program
to include every eligible
public high school in the
country. The new system
seeks to compare schools
using a more comprehen-
sive approach.
“Schools are ranked on
multiple disparate mea-
sures of academic quality,
versus previous editions
where rank order was
determined entirely by pro-
portions taking and passing
college-level exams,” the
publication said in a press
release.
Those factors include
graduation rates, state
assessment results and par-
ticipation in Advanced
Placement classes.
Additionally, schools
are no longer categorized
with gold, silver or bronze
designations. Instead, the
program now numerically
ranks the top 75 percent of
the schools nationally.
Other high schools in
the Tri-City area fared well
in the rankings too—
Almont (147th), Imlay City
(275th) and Dryden
(409th).
The survey takes about
10 minutes to complete,
and participants may
remain anonymous or offer
their contact information
for follow up.
Dickens says their goal
is to engage residents from
all walks of life in the com-
munities the Foundation
serves with the survey.
“We are hoping to get
senior citizens, farmers,
business owners, to get
essentially anybody who
would take the time to tell
us who they are and what’s
important to them and what
they think the need is,”
Dickens says. “The survey
is targeted to all adults age
18 and older who can phys-
ically take it.”
Dickens says they’ll
also promote the
Community Needs
Assessment Survey at
upcoming meetings and
functions.
“In a few words, we
want you as residents to
help us help you,” Dickens
says, “We’re looking for
information to better serve
the community.”

IMLAY CITY —
When Imlay City High
School phys ed teacher
Steve Lestage wanted to
add a baseball unit to his
PE1 class, there was just
one obstacle to overcome:
getting enough baseballs.
Lestage knew there
was a limited supply in the
equipment room, so he
decided to ask his friend
Ryan Nolin, a member of
the Imlay City Boys
Baseball League board, if
the league could help out.
He hoped they had some
old baseballs they’d be
willing to part with to help
the new program get off the
ground.
Lestage was surprised
by the response.

Wheat acres
on the rise
A C R O S S
May 15th - 31st
MICHIGAN — Michigan
wheat growers are expect-
ing an increase in produc-
tion compared to the previ-
ous year, due to an antici-
pated increase in winter
wheat harvested acres,
according to Marlo
Johnson, Director of the
USDA NASS, Great Lakes
Regional Office. Michigan
producers expect to harvest
520,000 acres, up 50,000
acres from last year. Wheat
production in the state is
expected to total 39.5 mil-
lion bushels, up 11 percent
from 2018. The yield fore-
cast of 76 bushels, if real-
ized, would be the same as
the previous year and 3
bushels below that of 2017.
U.S winter wheat pro-
duction is forecast at 1.27
billion bushels, up 7 per-
cent from 2018. As of May
1, the United States yield is
forecast at 50.3 bushels per
acre, up 2.4 bushels from
last year’s average yield of
47.9 bushels per acre.
Hay stocks on
Michigan farms on May 1,
2019 were 180,000 tons,

“These people love

Zmiejko. “They are willing
to work with you to find a
resolution.
“We want the opportu-
nity to try to solve this
together,” he continued.
“We’re ready to reopen the

“What do you need

Clyde Ellis: The ‘Greatest Generation’
from page 1-A
This Monday, on
Memorial Day (May 27),
one of the last of the last—
and I hate to say this and
hope I am wrong—but one
of the last World War II
veterans from our area will
be in attendance.
Clyde Ellis of Berlin
Township will be in the
parade and also appear at
the Capac Cemetery.
Signalman 2nd Class
Clyde Ellis was a U.S.
Navy veteran, and at 99
years of age, he still stands
tall in his conviction to the
government and to his fel-
low veterans.
I interviewed Mr. Ellis
and asked if he would do it
again—serve his country
as he did in World War
II—and the answer did not
surprise me. It was a firm
“yes.” At 99 he is still will-
ing to fight on for
American values and
everything our flag stands
for.
Tom Brokaw was right.
This is America’s ‘Greatest
Generation.’ The convic-
tion and fidelity to the
freedom of mankind was
total, and no expense was
to great to preserve those
freedoms—even giving
one’s life.
When he was 87,
Clyde Ellis wrote his mem-
oirs of life in the Navy. I
read this small book and I
confess it held my atten-
tion more than most nov-
els. He writes with a
down-to-earth style—no
trumpeting or blowing his
own horn. It is genuine,
with a mix of humor and
the raw feel of what life
was like in the many con-
voys he participated in. His
recollections are remark-

ty,” she continued. “We
know these roads and we
look out for the children.
Let us keep our jobs and
continue to keep the kids
safe.”
Board Vice President
Jill O’Neil resisted the sug-
gestion that current drivers
would lose their jobs by
outsourcing.
She alluded to the
company’s proposal to
offer jobs with equal pay
and benefit packages to
drivers who sign on with
Dean.
“That is a mischarac-
terization,” said O’Neil.
“For you to tell us you are
not going to have a job
would be your choice.”
With Board Treasurer
John Brzozowski’s earlier
motion to approve Dean’s
proposal still on the table,
but not seconded, Board
members John Miles,
Jennifer Mitchell and
Dallas Walton expressed
interest in hearing more
about the AESPA’s coun-
ter-proposal.
“I’m struggling with
the facts and emotion of
this issue,” Miles said. “It

Dean’s offer is not too
good to be true? Why can’t
we postpone this decision
a few days?”
Bowman urged that the
board act expeditiously;
noting that Dean’s offer
could be jeapordized—at
least in the short term.
“We need to do one or
the other, and we have to
do it tonight,” Bowman
said. “No matter what we
do with Dean, there are
other cuts coming.”
Kalmar added that
those other cuts could
affect classrooms.
“We will have to look
at other options to reduce
costs,” he said.
To break an impasse,
John Brzozowski rescinded
his earlier motion to
approve Dean’s proposal.
Board Trustee Michael
Sullivan followed with a
motion to table a vote on
the matter until Thursday,

lege/university degrees or
other career training;
including for skilled-trades
professions.
LEAF’s launch day at
the Lapeer County Ed Tech
Center in Attica coincided
with the Foundation’s
“Celebration of Giving
Back” to the community.
Essentially, LEAF is a
Child Savings Account
(CSA) that is dedicated to
providing children savings
for their post-secondary
education.
Concurrently, the pro-
gram raises educational
expectations for children
and their families while the
child is young.
“We are extremely
excited about the impact
that this program will have
on students in Lapeer
County,” said LCCF
Executive Director Nancy
Boxey. “It’s a major
achievement for the foun-
dation.
“LEAF is the largest
program since the LCCF’s
inception over 20 years
ago,” she continued. “The
program will serve over
800 kindergarteners in the
first year and more than
2,400 students by the third
year.”
Boxey believes that
through their participation
in the CSA program, par-
ents can model financial
literacy and help their chil-
dren achieve financial lit-
eracy themselves.
“We encourage parents,
grandparents, family mem-
bers and the children them-
selves to contribute to
these accounts over the
years,” said Boxey.
She described the pro-
gram as being “universal”
and “automatic” for all
children entering kinder-
garten who reside within a
Lapeer County school dis-
trict service area.
Eligible students
include those in public
schools, parochial schools
and home-schooled stu-
dents whose parents opt in
to the program.
DuPont bequest key
Boxey pointed out that
seed money for the LEAF
program comes from a
$150,000 bequest from the
late Sandra DuPont.
A former teacher, med-
ical technologist and com-
munity volunteer, Sandra’s
husband (Kent DuPont)
parade begins at 10 a.m.
and will travel down
Aldrich Street to Main
Streets.
A brief ceremony will
be held at the memorial at
Main and Church streets
before participants head to
the Capac Cemetery for a
gun salute.
Any active duty mili-
tary member, veteran or
scouting group is encour-
aged to participate.

chose to honor his wife’s
memory by designating
$100,000 of those funds to
establish an endowed fund
for the CSA program.
For its part, Boxey
said the LCCF is expected
to commit $166,000 for the
LEAF program.
Boxey anticipates that

dents will have individual
savings accounts estab-
lished in their names to
help pay for post-second-
ary education.
The greater goal,
Boxey said, is for the CSA
program to grow to the
point where it becomes
self-sustaining.
“It is our expectation
that the program to become
fully endowed, and to pro-
vide continued sustainabil-
ity for future generations,”
she said.
Boxey made a point of
acknowledging all of the
Lapeer County school
superintendents, principals
and educational profession-
als who were present for
the LEAF launch.
“This is a busy time of
year for our educators,”
she said. “Their attendance
here highlights their com-
mitment and the value and
importance being placed
on the LEAF program.”
