Arsonist I targets

J‘ Sunday A string of suspicious fires

in the area was increased by one over the weckend fol- lowing a week of relative peace and quiet for Elkland Township firemen.

Fire fighters were called to a residence on Shabhona Road, one-quarter mile west of Kingston Road, early Sun- day morning,

The alarm sounded at 1 :49 .;i.m., according to Fire Chief Ron Pawloski, who reported a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix had apparently been set o n tire. Thc vehicle, owned hy John Sherman, was dc- stroyed.

Pawloski labeled the blaze suspicious. He estimated the value of the car at $18,000.

Pawloski and Det./Sgt. Larry Walker of the Tuscola County’s Sheriff’s Depart- ment are continuing their in- vestigation.

The blaze was the seventh suspicious fire in the Cass City arca this month. The first fire involved a shed and the of a wind-danl- aged barn on Hadley Road J U I Y s , Since then, apparent pson fires have targeted an- .Ither shed, 2 barns and, most Please turn to back page.

DNR ups antlerless permits The whi tctai led deer’s keen

For Thumb area farmers, however, the sight -of decr con.iurcs up visions of money -big money - going down he drain i n the form of crop

In the Thumb, DNR offi- cials arc prepared to issue roughly 20 percent mory antlerless permits than they did last year, according to Jarvis, who noted block per- mit requests from farmers and landowners are up 25 to 30 percent. Last year, the DNR doubled

the number of antlerless per- mits made available to

0 - G board denies student transfer

The Owen-Gage School Board Monday rejected a re- quest to allow the transfer of 2 students to the Cass City School District, although trustees left the door open for a possible student exchange. The request was submitted

earlier this month by former school board trustee Jim Albrecht and his wife, Sue.

The couple stated the Owen-Gage School District doesn’t offer the classcs - drafting, trigonometry and industrial arts - that their children, in grades 9 and 11, need in order to follow their car ccr c hoicc5, The Albrechts noted Cass City is also the best choice i n terms of transport at i on .

Under the state’s new Schools of Choice law, stu- dents may transfer freely from one district to another as long as both districts are located in the same interme- diate school district. How- ever, Owen-Gage is in the Huron ISD and Cass City, within the Tuscola ISD.

During Monday’s special meeting, school Supt. Manuel Thies stated he dis- cussed the matter with Cass City Supt. Ken Micklash, who agreed to trade students, as both districts have done in the past.

There is one Owen-Gage student who has moved to the Cass City district, but who would like to continue at- tending Owen-Gage Schools, Thies continued, adding M ic kl ash indicated that i f another student wanted to transfer sometime during the coming school year, that arrangement could be worked out.

Trustee Ron Good made a motion to allow the transfer of the Albrecht children, but he emphasized that future transfer requests will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Good’s motion was de- feated on a vote of 4-2, with board President Paul Hunter and trustees Jack Brinkman,

Long has trained and showed horscs for 13 years and said training her draft horse was not much differ- eiit.Although one difference i n trairiing she recalled was teaching Molly to tako smaller steps. She said since she wiis coni-

peting against quarter and Arah horses, Molly had to make thc sanic size steps a s the other horses despite her steps naturally heing much higger.

Besides teaching her to take sniallcr steps, she said she didn’t train Molly any dit1i.r- ently than she would have trained atiy other horse. “She wiis eiisy t u train”. sht.

iiig Long’s. she also placed sixth iii thu clover leaf event,

which tests a horses speed. “She made up her time with

her big leaps,” she said. Long said showing a draft

horse took the pressure of competition off her shoul- ders.

“There wasn’t the pressure because I didn’t think I would place”, she said.

Shc said this year is defi- nitely the most memorable of hcr 4-H career.

“This is the best year I’ve had,” she said.

And while she said she en- joys showing, she would much rather havc her horses for simply riding. and said she will not miss the show- iiig part o f 4 - H .

“I’d rather my horse he a horse and not have to be showing all the time,” she said.

Despite not missing the show aspect, she hopes to remain i n 4-H, hopefully to coach the younger ones on the tiner art ofhorse training.

Brinkman said he has no problem trading students with the Cass City district as long as the trade is for an equal number of students. As i t is, he said, there ate 4

children who live in the Owen-Gage School District but attend Cass City Schools, and they have for the last year or 2. “Cass City gets so much of our students now,” he added, “and every student, you’re talking over $5,00@ (each in state aid).”

Thies stated hc would talk to Micklash about the stu- dents Brinkman referred to earlier, and attempt to work something out for the board to consider at its August monthly meeting.

WELCOME BACK In other business during the

special session, the board

unanimously approved a motion appointing Mary Ann Abbe to fill a vacancy on the board left by Jim Albrecht’s r e s i g n a t i o n e ar 1 i e r t h i s month.

It’s a familiar position for Abbe, who has twice been appointed to fill in for other board members; one year for former trustee Pat Goslin, following his resignation, and one year for the late Nick Warack, following his death.

Abbe, who has served on the board for 10 years, opted not to seek reelection last June.

She will now serve on the board for one year, then have the option to seek election for the remaining 2 years u f Albrecht’s 4-year term. Also Monday, the board: *Accepted “with regret” the

resignation of math teacher Les Packard, who has ac- cepted a position with the USA School District follow-

The district’s current sewer system debt totals about $15,500. The board has been paying $646 annually, but decided to pay $3,200 last year to retire the debt earlier.

Federal judge dismisses 1 0 . 0 1 . - 0

lawsuit against township A federal court judge has

dismissed a Cass City partnership’s lawsuit against Elklarid Township.

Federal District Court Judge Robert H. Cleland has dismissed all claims filed by Triple T Farms in’the fsderal court action, which focuses on the proposed operation of an asphalt plant just west of Cass City.

However, the decision al- lows the partnership to refilc its case i n circuit court, ac- cording to township attorney Robert J. Scibert ofAnthony, Scihert & Dloski, Mount C 1 c me ns .

I t isn’t certain whether Triple T Farms will pursue the matter. Roy Tuckey, a member of the partnership,

to Triple T Farms’ attorney, Anthony Sykora, were not returned.

The federal lawsuit sought consent to operate an asphalt processing ‘plant, as well as a judgement of $300,000 plus costs, interest and attor- neys fees.

The suit was tiled early last year after township officials denied the partnership’s re- quest to rezone a portion or all of an 83-acre parcel from Agricultural to Manufactur- ing. The property is located south of M-81 and east of Koepfgen Road. Earlier in the year, township

officials denied Triple T Farms’ request for a special land use permit to process

The partnership filed suit in Tusoola County Circuit Court in an effort to overturn the township’s decision, however, the suit was later dropped.

Hearings on both requests were well attended, with a majority of residents voicing concerns ranging from pos- sible health risks, noise and fumes associated with an as- phalt processing operation, to increased truck traffic and a decrease in property values. Tuckey offered to adhere to

a variety of restrictions the township could place on the operation. But township of- ficials rejected the proposed use, citing the opinions ofits attorney and the township’s zoning and planning consult-

declined comment, and calls gravel at the site. ant.

Kingston man’s death under investigation ?’her e ’ s a1 w a y s so met h i n g

new in the exotic livestock business. It’s getting to the point where a person can drive down the road and see llamas, emus, ostriches, and yaks without even leaving the car. Many of these critters have

market value, but others re- niain a curiosity. Probably the most curious as far as I’m concerned are the fainting goats. I’ve never seen one of these

creatures in person, but I’m told goats with the fainting condition were first noticed i n Tennessee around the turn ofthe century. Fainting goats result from an inherited ge- ne t i c d i s or der ( my o t onii a congenital that causes the animal’s muscles to tense up when frightened, Something as innocent as a

simple “Boo!” or a .44 mag- num fired over their heads will cause these goats to fold up like an accordion. When the animal is frightened, its body becomes rigid for 10 to 15 seconds.

Then it gets up and walks away - - much like a profes- sional boxer. Some owners wanted to call them boxing goats, but the term “Painting goats” won out.

Once the goats’ owners re- alized the fainting condition is inheritable, they began breeding these animals to protect other livestock from predators. The idea was for the goat to become fright- ened by the predator and keel over. By the time the predator has

finished with the goat, the sheep, turkcys, or whatever have escaped. (Just like the old “grizzly bear arid the hunters” jokes. ) This doesn’t sound good to

me. hut nobody coniplaincd about raising these aninials until recently. Now I’m told animal rights activists are up i n arms about folks raising goats that faint.

I don’t know if it’s genetic or not,but research has shown the only thing that gets excited faster than a goat is an animal rights activist. None of this would have hap- pened if the goat owners hadn’t become smitten with

.....

the urge to show-off to lhcir neighbors.

Like all livestock produc- ers , these goat owners wanted to prove thcir aninials were the best. So they sched- uled contests with u p to $1 ,OOO in prize money for the goat that fainted quickest or stayed down the longest. (I still think they should have called them boxing goats.)

This was a bumnier. Who wants to attend a livestock show where the Grand Champion may nevcr get

Before anyone could re- think the contest idea the ani- mal rights activists started fainting. So now we have a

chic to see that a recent rash o f suspicious tires has taken an emotional toll o n Ron Pawloski and the other men and women who make up Cass City’s volunteer fire dcp ar t men t .

Granted, it’s been hectic since Pawloski first put on ttic fire chief’s hat last Feb- ruary.

Over the past 5 months or so, the Cass City department has responded to several larpc !ires, including a blaze that gutted the Sommers’ Bakery and Shetler buildings 011 Cass City’s Main Street last March. Then there was a gas explo-

sion that leveled a 73-year- old man’s home, but spared the man’s life when he was thrown from the residence in March, and there was a scare involving a homemade bomb placed underncath a trailer house a nionth later. But the recent tires, starting

July 5 with the prankish set- ting of a downed barn on fire, leading up to what appears to have been arson in a fire

aged t o an occupied resi- dence July 13, have Pawloski concerned.

The tire chief is slow to jump to conclusions. He doesn’t know if the fires - 7 in all - are related. Still, he can’t help but won-

der what will happen i f those responsible aren’t caught, and soon. If the same per- son or persons are doing this, will i t take increasingly spec- tauuliu blazes to give them the same thrill?

Thc next tinic, will some- one be critically burned or worse:‘

It goes without saying that fire fighters are weary of re- sp o nd i n g t o n o n -ex i s t en t fires - another disturbing trend i n recent weeks -

that caused $30,000 darn-

many of them called in late at night or very early in the morning .

Even so, they respond to each siren with the same dedication, willing to risk their own lives, and Pawloski is quick to commend his crew for a job well done.

But there is a nagging fear that grows with each subse- quent fire run, and not just aniong fire fighters. After all, everyone in the community is a potential victim. Which is why everyone can

help, just by keeping their eyes open and reporting any suspicious individual or ac- tivi ty.

Who knows, a simple ob- servation could put an arson- ist out of business. And re- store peace of mind to a corn-

Enjoyed recent vacation trip While some go on vacation for strictly leisure, one Cass

City resident recently took a vacation for leisure and to visit family, Zeo Feebish said he and his wife Marge recently traveled

to the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania to visit his mother and sisters.

While there, he at- tended his nephew’s wedding, visited with family and took in the spectacular view of the mountains from his mother’s home.

“I got to do three things i n onc,” he said. “We combined family arid va- cation into one.”

While there, he and his wife did a little sightseeing hui didn’t do all that much because he grew up in thc arca and is used to the grandeur of the moun- tains.

Feehish said they also travel to their cottage on Black Lake near Onaway, Mich., when they have a chance to get away. He said the cottage gives them a chance to have mini vacations when they have a weekend free.

“That’s when we have our second vacation,” he said.

Potato acreage down Michigan’s potato farmers

planted 49,000 acres in 3 997, down 6 percent from a year ago, according to the Fed- eral/State Michigan Agricul- tural Statistics Service.

Harvested acreage is fore- cast at 47,500, up 3 percent from the flood damaged 1996 crop, Potato planting was completed ahead of schedule, but emergence was delayed by a record cool month of May. Growing con- ditions were favorable in June. Yield and production for the 1997 Michigan potato crop will he released Nov. 10.

Seventy-two percent of the Michigan potato acreage are white potatoes, mainly used for potato chips. Russet po- tatoes make up 25 percent and reds comprise the re- maining 3 percent. Seed po- tato acreage entered for cer- tification in 1997 is 2,500 acres, compared with 2,434 acres certified last year.

Veteran Manager LaPonsie looks back on 25-vear career

When Lou LaPonsie looks back on 1997, chances are good he’ll recall fond memo- ries.

Sure, i t hasn’t been a cakewalk for the veteran Cass City village manager, and he’s had his share of headaches, as many village managers do. But LaPonsie will have seen 2 long-term goals achieved in Cass City; installation of a third water well to ensure residents aren’t left high and dry in an emergency, and recons t r u e tion of Seeger Street.

It’s fitting the projects will be completed this year, as LaPonsie is preparing to close the books on a career spanning 25 years i n Ihc vil- 1 age.

“The biggest goal I’ve had i n the past 7 or 8 years is to see Sceger Street clone,” said LaPonsie, who plans to retire carly next year. “It just tick- les nie to see it done in my last year, on my way out.”

LaPonsie, 65, was hired in 1972 to overscc thc streets program as well as to handle the annual budget and servc as administrator over all vil- lage departments, including police, wastewater treatment, water and department of pub- 1 ic works. At the time, LaPonsie was

no stranger to street improve- ments, having spent 11 years with the Michigan Highway Department as a road and hridge inspector. He was a Is0 street coni n i is si o 11 er i n L‘Anse, Mich., for 3 1/2 years.

As village manager, LaPonsie said his duties haven’t changed ovcr the years, and thc number ofvil- lage eniployecs has re- mained ahout the same. However, the job has become more complex.

MORE RULES

“There are a lot more rules and restrictions and things to comply with, paperwork to handle,” he said. “Every- thing from landfill (regula- tions) to wells and wastewa- ter treatment, it’s all gotten more complicated.”

It’s also more difficult to obtain grants, according to LaPonsie, who has secured hundreds of thousands of state and federal grant dol- lars for prqjects ranging from street sign upgrades ($12,980) to expansion of the vi 1 1 age’s wastewater treat - nient plant ($6.2 million).

LaPonsie recalled the wastewater plant expansion started in the 197Os, with the new plant opening in 1981. “That took 13 years from start to finish, and boxes of paperwork, boxes and boxes.” In the later 1970s, LaPonsie

was scanning an engineering magazine when a tiny ad an- nouncing the availability of federal dollars for road im- provements caught his eye. He contacted the village’s engineering firm at the time and was told the chances of securing the money was “a million in one shot. “We tried it and we were the

one in a million,” LaPonsie said, noting a grant of $338,880 - funded entirely with federal dollars - was awarded to the village, which used the money to pave a dozen streets.

“The thing I’ve enjoyed most is seeing new streets going,” he added. “That was always our goal; to get every street curbed and guttered that we could before I re- t ired .”

Over the years, LaPonsie has attended his share of meetings, and not just village

council sessions. He serves or has served on the village and county planning com- missions, economic develop- ment corporation board, solid waste management committee, village managers association, Michigan Mu- nicipal League Board, Tuscola 2001 Board and Elkland Township Library Board.

UNEXPECTED

LaPonsie has also learned to expect the unexpected. Storm damage, water main

breaks, well problems - anything can come up at any time of the day or night, he explained. “You don’t know when it’s going to be, you don’t know where it’s going to be or what it’s going to be. But we always understood that that’s part of the job.” When LaPonsie says “we”,

he’s referring to his wife, Carol, whom he credits with being a constant source of support over the years, even during his 1 1 years with the highway department, when the couple moved 16 times.

“In all that time, never once did my wife ever complain. She’s been a very, very strong supporter.”

LaPonsie, who was hon- ored as Cass City’s “Citizen of the Year” in 1987, is also quick to credit council mem- bers. “I’ve really appreciated the

CASS CITY CHRONICLE - WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1997 CASS CITY, MICHIGAN

Antlerless permits available

jumped up to 1,000 or more last year. This year, each county has seen 1,100 to 1,200 car-deer accidents, Jarvis said. Deer nunihers are dcfinitely

up, but hunters who are counting on seeing a lot of bucks probably will he dis- appointed, i n part because the taking of more antlerless deer means the harvesting of young bucks as well as does, Jarvis pointed out.

"There probably won't he as many bucks killed this year as last year," he COII- cluded. "At least for a few years, we're going to see a higher percentage of does and fewer bucks,"

Board denies request

pay off the obligation in 3 years or so.

OLearncd vandals caused minor damage to some buses and a school window during the weekend of July 19.

.Approved a motion to no longer read board minutes aloud. Copies of the written minutes from previous meet- ings will now be given to hoard members for their re- view and approval. Copies will also be made available to the public. *Rejected a bid of $250 for

a school-owned 1984 school hus.

Arsonist targets auto

recently, a house on Gilford Road that sustained $30,000 i n damage.

Invcstigators have not es- tablished a connection he- tween thc fires, most of which were set late at night or during thc early morning hours . Thc Cass City Fire Depart-

Iiiciit has also responded to ahout a dozen false alarnis hulicved to have twen called i n hy the person o r persons respotisihlc for setting the tires.

Names missed Tim Karr and Josh Sherman

DEER NUMBERS appear to be up in the Thumb, despite hunter success last year. Crop damage complaints and car- deer collisions have increased, according to the DNR, which has made it easier for hunters to obtain antlerless permits in an effort to trim the herd.
