Residents urged to comply with law

Fire department
faces challenge
of illegal burns

IMLAY CITY Imlay City Fire

Dept. officials are growing frustrated
with local residents who request burn
permits but fail to comply with the
guidelines stated in the permit.
Asst. Fire Chief Andrew Kustowski
voiced particular displeasure with those
who choose to disregard the limits set
forth by state and local ordinance which
clearly identify items that can and
cannot be burned.

Kustowski cited last Mondays
(Sept. 11) reported brush fire on Reek
Rd. as an example of just such an occa-
sion, when a burn permit was issued to
an individual who failed to heed its
restrictions.
When firefighters arrived at the
scene, they found an open fire contain-
ing plastic, rows of old theater seats and
other non-permitted materials.
Fire Chief Rick Horton said the bil-
lowing dark cloud of smoke emanating
from the fire could be seen from miles
away.
Describing the fire as an illegal
burn, Horton said it represented a vio-
lation of local law and MDEQ statutes
set forth by the Michigan Legislature.
That fire was a huge no-no, said
Horton. It was a lot more than just

burning brushwhich is allowable.
Kustowski estimated that Imlay City
firefighters respond to about 20 illegal
burns each year.
He lamented that such fires are not
only avoidable, but are taxing to
responding emergency services.
These illegal burns place needless
strain on emergency responders, said
Kustowski. Its frustrating because they
could be avoided. People just need to
follow the guidelines spelled out in the
permits.
All agencies affected
Kustowski said illegal burns often
require a shared response from Lapeer
County emergency entities, including
911 operators, local police, firefighters
and EMS personnel.
He noted that because traffic flow is
often affected at a fire scene, police are
dispatched to implement traffic control.
Which means fewer officers on the
roads to respond to traffic accidents and
handle other emergencies that require
police assistance.
The calls are also a burden to the
fire department, Kustowski said, noting
that there are sometimes a limited num-
ber of firefighters who are available to
respond.
It can be difficult to get volunteers
to respond at certain times of the day,
he said. Especially in the afternoons

In return, organizers
gave a donation to the
boosters, pushing them

Moore reports that

We are so close to our

Moore said.
In addition to sporting
events, the band performs
at many community events,

Legend offers food for thought

T heres a note pinned to
my refrigerator that I
look at every day. Its just
a short little message, dis-
tilled down from a story I
came across while hungry
for something, though I
didnt know what.
And while the message
is posted on the fridge, its
not about the kind of food
that I store in there. Its
research the story so I can
share it during the medita-
tion portion of my yoga
class that I find the origins
of the story. And that the
dogs version that reso-
nated with me was perhaps
updated for the modern
ear. In fact, the story is an
old Cherokee legend, and
its called Two Wolves.
Its also known as
Grandfather Tells, and
The Wolves Within.
Whatever the title, the
message is the sameand
its always one worth shar-
ing. One worth reminding
myself of as well. Each
time I read it at the begin-
feelings many times.
He continued, It is as
if there are two wolves
inside me.

no harm. He lives in har-

Grandfather Tells
An old Grandfather
said to his grandson, who
came to him with anger at
a friend who had done him
an injustice, Let me tell
you a story.
I too, at times, have
felt a great hate for those
that have taken so much,
with no sorrow for what
they do.
But hate wears you
down, and does not hurt
your enemy. It is like tak-
ing poison and wishing
your enemy would die. I
have struggled with these
intended. He will only
fight when it is right to do
so, and in the right way.
But the other wolf,
ah! He is full of anger. The
littlest thing will set him
into a fit of temper. He
fights everyone, all the
time, for no reason. He
cannot think because his
anger and hate are so
great. It is helpless anger,
for his anger will change
nothing.
Sometimes, it is hard
to live with these two
wolves inside me, for both
of them try to dominate
my spirit.
The boy looked intent-
ly into his Grandfathers
eyes and asked, Which
one wins, Grandfather?
The Grandfather
smiled and quietly said,
The one I feed.
anger, envy, jealousy, sor-
row, regret, greed, arro-
gance, self-pity, guilt,
resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride, superiori-
ty, and ego.
The other is Good. It
is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kind-
ness, benevolence, empa-
thy, generosity, truth, com-
passion and faith.
The grandson thought
about it for a minute and
then asked his grandfather:
Which wolf wins?
The old Cherokee sim-
ply replied, The one you
feed.
For all who stop by, I
am most grateful. May we
all always feed the right
wolf.

And along the way I met
every President from

to ride in a Presidential
motorcade from Tri-City
airport to Saginaw Valley
State College in 1980.
Speaking of motor-
cades, in the not too distant
past it was not unusual for
me, and anyone else around
at the time, to see the
President, whoever he was,
cruising along in his limou-
sine to or from the Capitol
Building or someplace else
in Washington.
My friend, Dennis

when he was a kid of see-

Ezra Project-Word Alive slated

LAPEER A unique
opportunity to share the
Word with like-minded
individuals is coming to the
historic Courthouse down-
town.
From September 21-24,
the Ezra ProjectWord
Alive will be unfold on the
Courthouse lawn.
In the past, the Ezra
Project involved a reading
of the Bible in its entirety
by community members in
the public square. This
year, the Project involves
musical performances,
sing-alongs, stories and
activities for kids, a flash
mob, a special movie
screening at the PIX, bap-
strating the love of Jesus in
our community, says orga-
nizer Nancy Williams in a
press release.
The Ezra Project
Word Alive 2017 kicks off
on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 7
p.m. with comments from
Randy Williams on the
Courthouse porch.
Thursdays activities run
through 9:30 p.m.
On Friday, Sept. 22,
praise music is slated for
6:30-7:30 a.m. The rest of
the days activities kick off
at 7 p.m. A screening of the
movie REAL, produced
and directed by Pastor
Stephen Krist of Imlay
Citys Gateway Assembly,
a.m.- 9 p.m. Events include
interpretive dance, a flash
mob, a community art
project, and musical enter-
tainment. Imlay Citys own
illusionist and musician
Ray Champion will per-
form from noon-1 p.m. and
from 3-4 p.m.
Word Alive 2017

or education. Across the
state, that number stands
around 43 percent, accord-
ing to the Lumina
Foundation. Unless those
statistics improve,
Michigan businesses will
have an even harder time
finding qualified employ-
ees in the near future.
According to the Michigan
Department of Labor, 7 in
10 middle and high level
jobs will require some kind
60 percent by 2025.
Doing so will help lay
the foundation for a
vibrant economy, healthy
community and strong
workforce equipped to
compete in a 21st century
global economy, Konarski
said.
Studies have shown
that communities with
higher educated residents
are overall healthier, have
lower incarceration rates
and greater levels of civic
districts.
We have counselors
and administrators at
schools who have believed
in this for years. Im some-
one who can add addition-
al support, she said.
Addressing the barriers
that may prevent someone
from continuing their edu-
cation will also be key to
LCANs efforts. For some,
its a lack of familiarity
with education systems,
such as immigrant cultures

of post-high school educa-
tion or training by the year
2020.
Im working with
anyone and everyone who
would ever have an impact
on someone from one day
to 24 years-old, Konarski
said, referring to LCANs
goal of increasing the
number of high school
grads who attain valuable
credentials within six
years of graduation.
Those valuable creden-
tials can be a range of
things including military
service; obtaining a certifi-
cate, license or journeyman
card or earning an associ-
ates or bachelors degree.
With those aforemen-
tioned statistics at hand,
LCAN has translated their
goal into numbers too.
They want to increase
Lapeer Countys post-sec-
ondary attainment level to
engagement, just to name a
few.
I cant imagine any
sector of the economy that
wouldnt want a better
community, she added.
Helping steer those
efforts is a Leadership
Team comprised of educa-
tion leaders, business own-
ers and government offi-
cials and a Planning
Committee with business
managers, school counsel-
ors and college admissions
staff, among others.
Some of their first ini-
tiatives include helping
coordinate a November 9
career and job fair at the
Lapeer County Ed Tech
Center and organizing tal-
ent tours at two Lapeer-
area companies.
