DRYDEN When
Natalie Town thinks of her
cousin KC Grondin, she
thinks of the love, laughter
and good times that defined
their relationship.
Today, she wants to
remind KCand the world
that those are still the traits
that define him, even in the
wake of his October, 2015
conviction for the 2011 shooting death of Andrea Eilber,
who was 20-years-old at the
time. Earlier this month,
Lapeer County Circuit Court
Judge Nick Holowka sentenced KC to life in prison.
To show support for her
cousin, who she is convinced
is innocent, Natalie has written a song especially for KC,
one that she calls Defined.
I dont want to see you
looking down, on who you
think youve become,
Natalie says in the songs

other Grondin family members and supporters, Natalie
insists that KC is innocent,
and has vowed to pursue justice for the victim and for KC

take it. Theyve created a
website to raise awareness for
their cause www.justice4kc.
com, where Defined is posted, as well as a YouTube
channel featuring Natalies
song and information about
the case. Natalie, an aspiring
singer/songwriter, produced
the song in Los Angeles,
where she is working as an
intern in the entertainment

that this would be a wonderful way to spread awareness,

Local author Margaret
Bufford reveals her heart,
soul and memories in her
newly-released book, Walking
with God in the Backwoods.
Born and raised on a cotton farm in Arkansas, Mabel
Margaret Motes Bufford was
a teenager when she left her
family behind nearly a halfcentury ago and moved to
Michigan to marry.
In the four-plus decades
that followed, Bufford wrote
hundreds of heart-felt letters,
sharing her experiences of a
comparatively modern life in
Michigan with her loved ones
back home.
In the spring of 2016,
Bufford will celebrate 48
years of marriage to her husband, Sam, along with the
publication of her book.
Walking with God in the
Backwoods was officially
released on February 9, 2016,
and is now available for purchase at The Video Vault in
downtown Columbiaville.

BONDING PROPOSAL
DEERFIELD TOWNSHIP
MOSQUITO ABATEMENT PROPOSITION
Shall the Township of Deerfield raise money by special assessment for
the purpose of Mosquito Abatement for the two fiscal years beginning 20162017 (collection will begin in 2015-2016) with the following maximum assessments:
Fifty-five and 00/100 ($55.00) dollars per year for each dwelling unit,
commercial building, and industrial building but not include barns, garages,
or sheds:
One and 00/100 ($1.00) dollars per year for each parcel of property that
is vacant or contains no buildings other than barns, garages, or sheds,
And shall the Township levy such an assessment for said purpose, thereby raising in the first year an estimated $131,803.00
This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory
rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other
property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue
per pupil foundation allowance.
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed
against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Mayville Community Schools, Tuscola and Lapeer Counties,
Michigan, be increased by 18 mills ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 5 years, 2016 to 2020, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect
if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2016 is approximately
$642,000 (this is a renewal of millage that expired with the 2015 tax levy)?
