Multiple weapons in the

IMLAY CITY — An Imlay
City industry is seeking to buy
two parcels of property from the
city to accommodate expansion.
Terry Czaplicki, General
Manager of Springfield
Industries, made the proposal to
city commissioners at their
Tuesday, April 17 meeting.
The business is located at
609 Folk Court in the city’s
acres, for $100,000.
He said the company’s goal
is to build a 20,000-square-foot
production and warehousing
facility at a cost of about $1.5
million to $2 million.
Czaplicki said the proposed
structure will feature a northern
Michigan hunting lodge appear-
ance, including a fieldstone
entranceway and a beamed ceil-
ing in the foyer.
He added that the building’s
L-shaped construction will allow
Imlay City three years ago; to the
point of outgrowing its existing
work space.
“We’ve grown 40 percent
and we’re running out of room,”
he said. “We’re finding ourselves
stretched very thin and we need
more space.”
Czaplicki said the company
employs 24 full-time workers for
three shifts, with plans to hire
nine additional employees if the
expansion proceeds.
“We’re very happy to be here
in Imlay City,” he told the com-
mission. “This is a phenomenal
community and a great place to
do business.”

venient location along the I-69

In the meantime, gun
safety experts are weighing
in on how such a tragedy
could be avoided in the
future and seek to offer
best practices when creat-
ing a practice range on pri-
vate property.
Randy Schultz, owner
of Schultz Firearms in
Capac, said it’s important
to remember that bullets
can travel up to two miles.
“Make sure your back-
stop is large enough to stop
whatever caliber you’re
shooting,” he said.
Suggested dimensions
for a backstop are 15 feet
both in height and width
and four feet thick.
“Make sure there are
no houses or people in line
with where you are shoot-
ing and never fire unless
there is a safe backstop to
stop the bullet,” Schultz
added.
Keeping weapons
under control at all times is
key as well.
“When shooting, be
Almont High School students and staff scored near the top in a recently
released School Data Index Report. The new report is just the latest in a
series of state models to measure student progress and performance.
High Scores: Measuring performance
from page 1
“This is not intended to
dampen the sense of pride
people in this community
should feel,” Kalmar con-
tinued. “We always need to
use this information in
conjunction with our local
assessments, student, staff
and community surveys,
our AP and SAT results,
and M-STEP  to develop a
full mosaic of where we
are as a high school, and as
a district.”
Despite Kalmar’s tem-
pered enthusiasm, he was
highly complimentary of
the Almont High School
staff and of its students.
“These results seem to
be a very strong indicator
of the quality of our teach-
ers and students,” said
Kalmar. “Student growth
and student proficiency
account for about 70% of
the total score. So the cred-
it goes to our staff and to
our students.”
Taking it in stride
Given the positive test
results, a few veteran
Almont High School teach-
ers responded to the good
news.
High school math
teacher Dave Voyt believes
the new School Data Index
results provide further evi-
dence that the district is
meeting the expectations
established by the State of
Michigan.
“Our performance as a
school has been mostly
determined by how well
our students scored on
state standardized tests,”
said Voyt. “The Michigan
School Index System pro-
vides a much broader
scope of indicators than
just the results of those
Firearms experts note that bullets can travel
up to two miles.
sure to prevent the gun
from rising and causing
you to shoot over the back-
stop,” he said.
Joe Heilig, a range
safety officer with the
Lapeer County
Sportsmen’s Club, said
properly sited ranges must
be constantly monitored.
“Not just anyone
should use it. Be sure to
supervise your range even
if someone you know is
using it,” Heilig said.
At the club, members
follow strict rules on their
ranges to ensure every-
one’s safety.
“No one touches a gun
if anyone is down range,”
he said.
Heilig suggests resi-
tests.
“The levels of achieve-
ment that Almont earned
on those indicators provide
the reinforcement for what
most of us have already
known,” he continued.
“Good things are happen-
ing at Almont Community
Schools. And as a teacher,
I am proud to be a part of
it.”
Equally proud is Kris
Rohrbeck, who has spent
the past 18 years at Almont
Schools.
“I’m blessed to work
with an incredible staff of
passionate and dedicated
professionals,” said
Rohrbeck. “Whether it be
our bus drivers, custodial
staff, administration, secre-
taries, cafeteria employees,
paraprofessionals or our
teacher staff, there is not a
person in this district who
does not put kids at the top
of their list every day they
come to work.
“I am humbled by the
team of teachers with
whom I work at Almont
High School.”
Voyt agreed that team-
work is at the core of the
district’s success.
“One of our strengths
as a district is teamwork,”
Voyt said. “If a student is
experiencing academic dif-
ficulty or personal issues
that prevents them from
succeeding in the class-
room, the staff works
together making adjust-
ments to ensure the success
of that student.”
Ron James, an Almont
teacher for more than two
decades, is also pleased
with the School Index
Report results, but hesi-
tates taking them too seri-
ously. “There is no doubt

my second born April 5 in

Rochester.
I held my newborn and

now had a sister. We were a
family of four and would
never be the same. Our
baby’s yellow gingham
bassinette embellished with
rickrack awaited Kelly in
our two-bedroom town-
house.
When Mel and Becky
arrived the next day, our
four-year old looked
through the glass into the
nursery for her first glance
at baby Kelly.
On our drive south to
Warren, Mel mentioned the
treacherous roads the previ-
ous night. A blizzard had
swept through the Metro
Detroit area as Kelly and I
slept. There wasn’t a trace
of snow anywhere.
From that April in 1975
to this, I expect snow or ice
before the month expires.
I’ve recorded a few dates
with snow flurries in May.

Mason Ludwig shows skills of a ‘Champion’

North Branch teen race car driver wins $50,000 in sponsorship funds and a spot on the team
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
TRI-CITY AREA —
With widespread support
from family, friends and
fans, 15-year-old race car
driver Mason Ludwig has
won the Grand Prize in the
2018 Search for a
Champion contest.
As Grand Prize winner
in Champion’s “On the
Track” category, the North
Branch teen will be award-
ed $50,000 in sponsorship
funds and a spot on Team
Champion.
Mason finished ahead
of 29 other finalists in the
competition.
“I’m still a little bit in
shock,” Mason said after
being announced the win-
ner. “I am completely hon-
ored to have been chosen
Grand Prize winner with so
many other great drivers
competing for the same
prize.
“It feels great,” Mason
continued. “I’m so proud
of my team and of all my
fans for their dedication;
and thankful to Champion
for giving me this opportu-
nity.”
Mason’s mother, Jaime
Ludwig, said her son went
above and beyond to earn
the Search for a Champion
Grand Prize title.
“It was a lot of work
and dedication,” said
Jaime. “We and he made
sure that every single day
we were doing something
to promote the contest.
“We were simply
relentless and refused to
take this opportunity for
granted,” she continued. “It
was all-or-nothing for
Mason’s family, friends,
fans and community, who
were behind us 100 per-
cent.”
Off to early start
Mason has been racing
since he was seven years
old, beginning by racing
go-karts, Bandoleros,
Legend cars and most
Mason Ludwig
recently, asphalt late mod-
els.
Despite his youth, he
has won several champion-
ships, including the 2015
and 2016 INEX Michigan
State Young Lions champi-
onship and the 2014
Spartan Speedway
Bandolero track champion-
ship.
In addition to his rac-
ing, Mason works hard to
support the charity that is
close to his heart.
He is a spokesman for
“Lapeer’s Adoptable
Animals,” an organization
formed with the purpose of
supporting the homeless
animals of Lapeer County
in Michigan with the goal
of increasing animal adop-
tions and lowering eutha-
nasia rates.
Last year, he presented
the organization with a
$600 check and pet food
and treats collected during
a bottle/food drive.
Mason has earned the
respect of Dana Bubonovich
of Federal-Mogul
Motorparts.
“Mason’s tenacity and
spirit of a champion were
just some of the many rea-
sons for selecting him as
the 2018 Search for A
Champion winner,” said
Bubonovich. “We are
thrilled to have him part of
#TeamChampion and rep-
resenting the entire
Champion family.”

Good neighbors in Imlay City
The Imlay City Area Chamber of Commerce hosted dual ribbon-cut-
ting ceremonies for two businesses on Thursday; one of them
brand-new to the city and the other which has operated in Imlay City
since 2007. The recognized businesses included (top) the Liebler
Agency Insurance Group, which recently moved to a newly-con-
structed location at 566 S. Cedar Street. Owner Jeff Liebler expressed
gratitude to the large entourage of city officials and community lead-
ers on hand for the occasion. A second ribbon-cutting (bottom)
welcomed the Clear Title Group, whose new office is located in the
same building. Those on hand for the occasion were Clear Title
Group owner Shamil Halabu, business partners Peter and Liz Halabu
and Gail Dest, who will serve as processor at the new office. Though
new to Imlay City, Clear Title Group has offices in Birmingham and
Adrian. “We’re pleased that both businesses have decided to invest
in Imlay City,” said Chamber Director Teresa Gormley. “This is a
beautiful facility and we wish that you will continue to grow and suc-
ceed in our community.”

New hunters urged to sign up for safety classes
TRI-CITY AREA —
Michigan Department of

vation officers remind new
hunters that it’s not too
early to sign up for safety
classes.
All first-time hunters
born on or after Jan. 1,
1960, must successfully
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources encourages new hunters
to sign up now for a safety course. Hunter education classes are con-
ducted year-round but usually are filled to capacity from August through
October.
Prevent spread of oak wilt
TRI-CITY AREA —
Have an oak tree on your
property? To keep it
healthy, don’t prune it from
mid-April through the sum-
mer. That’s a key time for
infection with oak wilt, a
serious disease that can
weaken white oaks and kill
red oak trees within weeks.
Oak wilt, caused by a
fungus, has been reported
throughout the Midwest,
including Michigan, said
Ryan Wheeler, invasive
species biologist with the
Michigan Department of
Natural Resources.
Red oaks are most sus-
ceptible to the disease.
These trees have leaves
with pointed tips and
include black oak, northern
red oak and northern pin
oak. Trees in the white oak
group have rounded leaf
edges and include white
oak and swamp white oak.
They are less susceptible.
Symptoms most often
appear from June until
Oak wilt, caused by a fungus, makes oak trees suddenly wilt from the top
down. Symptoms are most likely to appear from June through September.

September.
“Affected trees will
suddenly begin to wilt from
the top down, rapidly drop-
ping leaves, which can be
green, brown or a combina-
tion of both colors,”
Wheeler said.
Oak wilt is spread
above ground mainly by
sap-feeding beetles that
carry the disease spores
from an infected tree, or
wood cut from an infected
tree, to fresh wounds,
including pruning cuts, on
healthy trees. The infection
also spreads below ground,
through root grafts among
neighboring trees.
The highest risk of
infection occurs April
15-July 15, but it is prudent
to avoid pruning or injur-
ing oak trees until they
have lost leaves for the
winter, typically from
November through mid-
March, Wheeler said. If
you must prune or remove
oaks during the risk period,
