“Farming is a way of life. Forme, the first day of spring is a re-minder of this feeling. It ignitesthat instinct all growers havewhen we know it’s that time againfor us to begin planting,” Milligansaid.“Farming has been in my family
for decades. I grew up on my fam-ily’s farm in Cass City, and cur-rently live there with my wifeKristine and our two children.Farming is so much in our bloodthat even my son, after he gradu-ated from Purdue, came back tothe farm. He makes the fifth gen-eration of Milligans to continueour operations.
“As a farmer, I do have a greatsense of pride, but recently thingshave been challenging for allgrowers,” Milligan noted. “Wehave always been told that weneed to produce enough to feed,not only our nation, but those thatare hungry around the world.Technology and trade have greatlyimproved the way that we farm.Just look at the numbers. In 1860,each U.S. farm fed an average of15 people. In 2010, each farmcould feed more than 140 people.
“The American farmer has donean amazing job of increasing pro-ductivity, and markets overseashave been developed in whichconsumers look for U.S. and evenMichigan-labeled products. How-ever, access to overseas markets is

ABOUT A DOZEN local residents turned out at Rawson Memorial District Li-
brary to meet with new 84th District state Rep. Phil Green (R-Millington) Fri-
day as he traveled across the Thumb to host constituent hours. Green, pictured
above at the head of the table, briefly covered several topics, including Michi-
gan’s proposed 45-cent gas tax hike, no-fault auto insurance reform and the
Air National Guard combat training proposal, as well as the uncertain future
of the state’s newest psychiatric hospital and whether it will be built in Caro.
UBLY SCHOOL Great Start Readiness Program
(GSRP) educator Briana Deacons teaches a vari-
ety of skills designed to help her students excel ac-
ademically as well as learn to get along with
others as they move from grade to grade, and in
life.

As Ubly’s Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) teacher, BrianaDeacons lays the groundwork for childrens’ educational and socialdevelopment.
This is the first school year the Ubly School District has offeredthe GSRP after previously having no space to house the program.That changed in April 2018, when the district bought the former RE-Store Rustic Shabby Chic Furniture business along with the St. JohnEvangelical Catholic Church Hall, located at 4454 N. WashingtonSt., and converted it into an early childhood learning center.“The district had a Head Start program last year, but this is the first
year for GSRP. This is the first (structured) learning program formany of them (kids),” Deacons said, noting the program is for three-and four-year-olds.Deacons, who is from Ubly, taught Head Start last year in the North
Huron School District. Ubly’s program is her second teaching posi-tion.
“We provide a full day of school. GSRP has a special curriculumthat is taught. It teaches school readiness skills,” she explained. “Itfocuses on social and emotional skills, and addresses the wholechild. Math literacy, cognitive, physical, emotional, language skills,and self-regulation skills are taught.”Deacons earned her teaching degree at Saginaw Valley State Uni-
versity. In order to teach in the GSRP, she had to earn an early child-hood endorsement on her teaching certificate.The first concept a child has to learn in the program is self-regula-
tion skills – a big challenge for both students to learn and Deacons

County reps takeCaro Center causeto Lansing meeting
by Mary DrierFor the Chronicle
A group of Tuscola County representatives traveled to Lansing Thurs-day for a brief meeting in an effort to convince state officials to followthrough with plans to build a new psychiatric hospital to replace theaging Caro Center.A former state representative and a newly-hired consultant, meanwhile,
are both encouraging county officials to continue fighting to keep thenew state hospital in the wake of reports indicating new MichiganHealth and Human Services Director Robert Gordon decided in late2018 to find another location and close the Caro Center altogether.
An ABC12 story recently outlined a series of emails, obtained via aFreedom of Information (FOIA) request, revealed Gordon’s stand onthe issue dating back to December.New Gov. Gretchen Whitmer subsequently placed a hold on construc-
tion of the new, $115 million psychiatric hospital in Caro pending an-other study on the location, in spite of the fact that lawmakers havealready approved funding for the new hospital to be constructed in Caro.Tuscola County officials and others met last week with a subcommittee
on the Caro Center.Among those attending were county Controller Mike Hoagland, ASS-
CME Union Local 831 President Matt Campbell, consultant Jean Doss,Tuscola Intermediate School District Superintendent Gene Pierce, andwater engineer Keyno Schellenbarger.
Schellenbarger, hired by the county to conduct a feasibility study ofusing the wells onsite at the Caro Center for the new hospital, deter-mined the wells could be used again at a much lower cost than the op-tion of extending a water line 1.9 miles at a cost of $2.4 million, aproposal that stalled due to disagreements between officials represent-ing the city of Caro and Indianfields Township.
“We had about 10 minutes to make our point on why the hospitalshould stay in the county. Keyno talked about the plan he has…on how

While the new psychiatric hospital construction in Caro remains inlimbo, state officials are moving ahead with plans to market some ofthe land around the Caro Center.Last fall the state indicated it was considering giving Tuscola County
several hundred acres of land that included part of the Caro Center’shospital acreage as well as a former prison site, provided county offi-cials first established a land bank.Because it was a good economic opportunity for the county, commis-
sioners immediately launched the process involved in setting up a landbank. But in the midst of doing that, the state gave all of the land to theMichigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority.State officials posted a notice stating they were seeking proposals for

Dave Milligan will tell you thattoday’s farmers are producingmore food per farm than theirpredecessors could have evenbegun to imagine decades ago.He’ll also tell you those same pro-ducers could be forced to give upfarming without a stable and fairexport market.
The reason? Simple economics;farmers have been hugely suc-cessful in producing more food,but without a dependable avenueto sell all of their crops, they can’tget the return on the investmentthey need to say in business.
Milligan should know. He’s alifelong Cass City farmer, hasserved as chairman of the Michi-gan Wheat Program since 2011and is currently vice president ofthe National Association of Wheat
Growers.Milligan is also a strong sup-
porter of the U.S.-Mexico-CanadaAgreement (USMCA), a vitalpiece of legislation that updatesthe North American Free TradeAgreement (NAFTA) and locks inboth access to the Mexican marketand improves the wheat gradingsystem in Canada.
President Donald Trump alongwith Canadian and Mexican lead-ers inked the plan in late Novem-ber, but it won’t take effect untilthe governmental bodies in allthree countries – including theU.S. Congress — ratify the newagreement.
“Trade is arguably the biggestissue facing agriculture today. Weneed to sell more product abroadand we need our trading partnersto play by the rules – USMCA de-livers on both accounts. Now, wejust need Congress to give it the

Rabbit Tracksby Clarke Haire
(And anyone else he canget to help)
I’m a Jeopardy lover. I watch the television showevery night and have it recorded when I’m gone.There are times when I’m able to answer a questionor two. Managing to answer five or six questionsright is a good night for me, but that doesn’t happenvery often.
I love learning little-known facts and collectingtrivia information. My saying is “I know a little abouta lot of things, but not very much overall.” But I stilllove trivia and little-known facts.I know “a lot” of money is spent on candy celebrat-
ing Easter, but I was surprised to learn just howmuch. One news report pegged the amount spent onEaster candy at $29 billion! The average amountspent is about $150. That is one heck of a lot of jellybeans and chocolate bunnies.
Regarding chocolate bunnies, the same surveyasked the age-old question of how people eat theirchocolate bunnies. There is a big debate on the properway to bite a bunny; some people chew off the earsfirst, while others bite off the bunny’s butt first.According to the survey, about 76 percent of those
who eat chocolate Easter bunnies attack the ears first.Another Easter candy fact: Americans buy more
than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps, shaped likechicks, as well as marshmallow bunnies and marsh-mallow eggs, making them the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy.Americans consume 16 billion jellybeans at Easter.
If all the Easter jellybeans were lined end to end, theywould circle the globe nearly three times.
According to one website, jelly beans did not be-come an Easter tradition until the 1930s, and theywere reportedly produced by Boston candy makerWilliam Schrafft, who ran advertisements urgingpeople to send jellybeans to soldiers fighting in theCivil War.
Also, the survey noted that over 185 million eggsare colored for the holiday. I can’t help wonderinghow much money went into surveying all of thosedifferent facts?
This year several websites showed unique ways todecorate eggs. One method was to have a swirl de-sign on eggs. That was done by taking a pile of plain,white shaving cream, mixing in some food coloringand rolling the eggs in that. One suggestion was tak-ing the egg and gently cracking the shell and dippingit in the food-colored water. When the egg was pealedit has the chip designs in color.
A different option called for taking the egg out ofthe shell and dunking it in coloring to turn the entireegg white a different color. There was a methodshowing eggs tied up in material and boiled that wayso it left an imprint from the material on the egg shell.
Anyway, back to eating chocolate Easter bunnies.What’s the best way to approach this treat — the earsor the butt? I really don’t remember which part I eatfirst. I guess I will have to report back when Easter

Tuscola County Sheriff Glen Skrent last week re-ported his staff destroyed by incinerator nearly 199pounds of old and unwanted prescription pills thatcitizens have dropped off in the lobby at the sher-iff’s department in Caro.
“Keep up the good work getting rid of your un-used pills so they do not fall into the wrong hands,”Skrent stated in a post on the department’s Face-book page. “Remember, the entrance to the jaillobby is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. All youhave to do is walk in and (empty) your pill bottlesinto the receptacle.”
Tax hikes, not roads,the larger priority?
Guest editorialby James M. Hohmandirector of fiscal policy
Mackinac Center for Public Policy
I don’t believe that the state needs $2.5 billion in ad-ditional revenue to fix the roads. I don’t believe this be-cause the governor only asks to spend $1.9 billion moreon roads. She calls for $2.5 billion in higher fuel taxes,though. The difference goes to other budget priorities.Still, there have been regular calls that the state needs
$2.5 billion more for roads. The number is a mystery.It is reiterated with confidence, but there are reasonsto doubt it. After all, this is a long-term estimate, anda lot can affect the market for road-building materialsand labor. More revenue for roads may also affect thecosts of building and fixing them.
The number required to “fix the roads” presumablyaccounts for their current condition. But state and localgovernments don’t track the condition of all roads.Good numbers exist for trunkline roads — the M-, US-
, and I-designated roads that are eight percent of lanemiles but carry over half of the traffic in the state. Andthere are numbers for local roads that receive heaviertraffic. But there is no widely accepted measure for thequality of most roads in Michigan. So there is a bigquestion mark over how much is needed. Frankly, thatlack of measurement could understate the needs.If “fix the roads” only means fixing the roads that are
measured, then lawmakers could simply spend more onthe roads that they measure and less on those theydon’t.
The ambiguity around the $2.5 billion figure alsoshould call into question whether it includes the recentincreases in transportation spending. Before the cur-rent debate, lawmakers and road interest groups hadcentered around $1.2 billion as necessary to keep theroads from falling apart. And they got more than whatthey asked for, over time.
In fiscal year 2011, Michigan spent $1.97 billion instate funds on transportation. That amount graduallyincreased to $2.59 billion in fiscal year 2016, with alot of the gains coming from general revenue sourcesinstead of fuel and vehicle registration taxes.
Then lawmakers replaced the general taxes withmoney from fuel and vehicle registration tax hikes.They also scheduled some of the state’s income tax togo to the transportation budget, and rediscovered someextra money from elsewhere in the state budget. Be-tween the new income tax earmark, the tax hike, andthe extra money, the state is now spending $3.64 billionannually on roads. The income tax earmark itself willpush state spending up to $4.10 billion by the 2021 fis-cal year.
All told, that’s $2.13 billion more in revenue for theroads, found over a decade. That’s a 69-percent in-crease in state funding above inflation.If something is a priority, then it ought to take prece-
dence over other budget priorities. Calling for $2.5 bil-lion in new taxes to spend $1.9 billion on the roadsdemonstrates that tax hikes are a larger priority thanthe roads themselves.I believe our transportation managers when they say
that they need more money to put the roads into bettercondition. How much is a different question, and thelatest calls exaggerate the evidence and ignore the in-creases that lawmakers have already found.

********** Some Michigan taxpayers who file a state income
tax return may receive a letter from the MichiganDepartment of Treasury asking for more informa-tion to confirm their identity.
The letters are a result of the state Treasury De-partment’s efforts to protect individuals from cy-bercriminals, who attempt to file state income taxreturns on behalf of unsuspecting taxpayers andsteal refunds. After a taxpayer confirms his or heridentity by taking a short online quiz or submittingpaperwork, the tax refund will be issued in about amonth.A phone option is available as an alternative to the
online quiz.“If you receive one of these letters, please follow
the instructions carefully,” said Deputy State Treas-urer Glenn White, who oversees Treasury’s TaxAdministration programs. “When we detect some-thing that may not be right with a tax return, we askfor additional information to protect the taxpayer.”Taxpayers who have been recent victims of iden-
tity theft are asked to report their circumstances tothe state Treasury Department. Reporting identitytheft helps thwart cybercriminals who attempt tofile returns and steal state tax refunds.
Since 2016, the state Treasury Department’s in-creased security measures protected more than4,500 taxpayers who confirmed their identity wasstolen and used to request state of Michigan incometax refunds. This prevented more than $19 millionfrom being distributed to scammers.

������������������������� Sanilac deputies continue probe into recent juvenile crime spree
by Tom MontgomeryEditor
Sanilac County Sheriff’sdeputies are continuing to sort outa crime spree involving propertydamage and theft in the Deck-erville area earlier this month.The investigation has since led to
the identification of at least eightsuspects, most of them juveniles,according to Sanilac County Sher-iff Garry Biniecki, who reportedthe probe unfolded April 6 whendeputies were dispatched to Wil-son Park regarding a four-wheelerbeing driven recklessly.
“Deputies responded to the areaand located an unoccupied four-wheeler and an abandoned 1999GMC Jimmy,” Biniecki said.“Deputies were able to determine
that the GMC Jimmy was stolenfrom a residence in the 3300 blockof Main Street in Deckerville.“While deputies were processing
the scene, a mother of a 17-year-old male from the 2300 block ofMaple Street in Deckerville calledinto dispatch and stated that herson had just arrived home andlearned that he had taken her four-wheeler ATV from her mother’sshed…without permission,”Biniecki said. “It was then learnedthat a 14-year-old male from Car-sonville, in addition to a 16-year-old male from Deckerville, werewith the 17-year-old male fromDeckerville while they were dam-aging property at Wilson Park.”
Deputies, who utilized the de-partment’s drone to help processthe scene, arrested the 17-year-oldsuspect. His name was not re-
leased pending his formal arraign-ment on charges.
According to Sgt. Matt Arm-strong, additional investigationand interviews related to thestolen GMC vehicle resulted in of-ficers recovering stolen property,including guns, and the informa-tion gathered could “potentiallysolve at least nine crimes, with atleast eight subjects being involvedover the course of several monthsin the Deckerville area.“All of the subjects were not nec-
essarily associated with the samecrimes, and most of the subjectsare believed to be juveniles,”Armstrong said, adding, “TheSanilac County Sheriff’s Officeand the Deckerville Police De-partment are still working on thisvery active case.”
to teach.“They have to learn to sit and pay attention (and) learn to listen with
a purpose when they would rather go play. They work on being able tostay with a challenging task. They have to learn social skills, they haveto learn to ask for a toy rather than just grabbing it when they want it.That is also a big one to teach,” said Deacons.
“Because for most of the children this is their first school experienceoutside of daycare, I would say over half of them don’t have any expe-rience with other children of their age group, so getting them to learnroutines and rules is a big change. That is the biggest challenge as aGSRP teacher — getting them to learn routines.”The GSRP prepares students to take the next step in their education.“GSRP gives them the skills they are going to have to use,” said Dea-
cons. “I enjoy teaching them the skills to get along with other kids, theirletters and counting. Those are the tools they will have to use for therest of their lives.“This prepares them for going into the young fives program or kinder-
garten.”Research has shown that children who have a high quality preschool
experiences are more prepared for kindergarten, perform at a higherlevel throughout school, are more likely to graduate high school, andhave a greater chance of attending college.
Both GSRP and Head Start are tuition-free preschool programs forthose who qualify.

“The vehicle entered the ditch on the east side of the road and over-turned in the bottom of the ditch,” Moore said. “The driver was able tofree herself from the vehicle prior to emergency personnel arriving atthe scene.“The female sustained minor injuries and was treated by Sanilac EMS
personnel at the scene, but refused further treatment,” he noted. “Thedriver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident, and alcoholdoes not appear to be a factor.”
Moore did not release the woman’s name pending completion of theinvestigation, which is continuing.The Lamotte Township Fire Department assisted deputies at the scene.

Since I’m not in my 40s anymore, I pay more attention these days towatching my diet and trying to eat healthier – more fruits and vegeta-bles, etc. – and it seems to be paying off in how I feel in general.
But I’m not patting myself on the back.How can I? Every time I treat myself to something really good, like a
brownie, I’m reminded of the ridiculous recommended servingsizes/portions you can find on just about every package containing saidgoodies.I’ve always been the sort of guy who leans towards moderation. Okay,
so that’s not true at all, but I do put some effort into limiting my brownieintake to, say, two at a time, only to learn that a quarter of one of thosebrownies is the recommended serving size.In what universe? I mean, what sort of culinary masochist stays up all
night coming up with these numbers?Probably the same guy who is certain to tell me that the recommended
serving size of fruit is a thousand grapes or six bananas.I’m all for keeping an eye on grams of fat, protein, etc., but even the
experts out there can’t seem to decide – or agree for any length of timeon – which foods will kill us and which foods will improve our chancesof living to be 100.It’s a wonder our parents and grandparents ever survived long enough
to raise families, given all those guilt-free egg-and-bacon breakfasts,big juicy steaks and rich desserts served in their homes over the years.Not to mention the fun of being around when grandma was baking cook-ies or cake, which was always accompanied by the opportunity to snitcha little raw cookie dough or a spatula to clean out the bowl.Now, you pick up a box of cereal you liked as a kid and the directions
imply you’re a glutton if you surpass the recommended serving of two-thirds of a cup.Seriously, does anyone really look at the serving size of anything worth
savoring and then carefully measure out that one serving, close thepackage and put it away until next time?I couldn’t resist the temptation to take a look at the “family size” bag
of cheddar cheese and sour cream potato chips (yeah, the really goodones) I picked up a few days ago. According to the information on the10-ounce bag, a portion is one ounce.
Whatever.My guess is that some sort of Big Brother agency forces food compa-
nies to include all of that useless information on their packaging withouthaving put any thought into the packaging itself.
I mean, if they’re really that serious about portion sizes – and notcounting on you to wolf down half the box or bag in one sitting – whydidn’t they include some sort of Ziploc-type closure to keep the contentsnice and fresh?
The same goes for those sweet cereals – you’re telling me that afterdecades of churning out millions of boxes of Lucky Charms, no one hasever thought to incorporate an economical way to give the customer away to tightly seal the uneaten portion?
But I digress.I suppose, in the end, sticking to eating “one portion” probably doesn’t
matter all that much, considering longevity is affected by so many fac-tors beyond diet, including lifestyle choices, family history, etc.
Sure, you can eat the healthiest diet, force yourself to exercise regu-larly and drink plenty of water, but you’re going to die anyway, right?
Just the same, I do considerable walking and outdoor work, eat twoor three pieces of fruit every day, I don’t go crazy with the chocolate,and I’ve cut out some, although not all, unhealthy things altogether.As long as the doctor tells me my blood pressure and cholesterol num-
bers are still good every year, however, I’m going to have a piece ofthat strawberry cheesecake, because you can’t measure delicious ingrams as far as I’m concerned.
Who knows, maybe I’ll even have two portions.

Owen-Gage extends school yearby Mary Drier
For the Chronicle
Students in the Owendale-Gage-town School District will have to
wait a little longer to celebrate theage-old anthem “No more pencils,no more books…” this year.
The Owen-Gage Board of Edu-cation has expanded the schoolyear by one week due to the num-ber of days missed because of badweather.
“Our district had missed 14 ‘actof God’ days because of theweather. We received the standardsix days forgiven by the state, andI applied for the additional three-day waiver and received that,” ex-plained school Supt. TerriFalkenberg. “Then, we have tomake up the other days. So, wehad to add five more days ofschool to meet the number ofhours and days required by thestate.”
With the extension, the last dayof school will now be Friday, June14.
Falkenberg pointed out the datewould have been even later hadthe district not received a statewaiver to be able to start classesthree days before Labor Day. Pre-viously, schools were prohibitedfrom starting the school year be-fore Labor Day.
Falkenberg said she isn’t sure if14 days of missed school is arecord or not at Owen-Gage.
“I think there was another yearwhere schools missed that many
days. I remember hearing someschools did classes on Saturdaysin order to make up the requiredtime,” she added.
Another date to remember isMonday, June 3. That will be theday for parents, grandparents andother senior citizens to have lunchat the school with the children andto see their projects. It will also bea field day for students. If theweather is nice, the event will bein the Gagetown Village Park.
“We have ‘grandparent day’twice a year. We have one in thespring and in the fall. It started outfor just kindergarten through fifth-grade students, but we opened itup last year to be school-wide,”Falkenberg noted. “The NHS (Na-tional Honor Society) students dothe lunch for the K-five students.For the middle and high school,we use a little different approach— the students in the upper gradesserve the elderly lunch.”According to Falkenberg, there is
a reason for multi-generation get-togethers.“Part of the reasons for doing this
is family engagement. Gettingparents, grandparents involved. Ithas had a wonderful response,”she said.
In other business, the boardnoted teacher contract negotia-tions are underway with the dis-trict’s 11 teachers. The currentcontract expires June 30.The board also approved a senior
trip to Indianapolis May 22-24,and the high school band’s tripJune 1 to Cedar Point.

the water issue can be workedout,” Hoagland said of Thursday’smeeting.
“We didn’t have much time topresent our case, but I feel we dida good job of doing that with thetime allotted,” Hoagland added.
To hurry the meeting along, thecommittee asked county represen-tatives for more information anddocumentation to make their case.
“It’s basically getting togetherabout the same information thatwe did previously when the statedecided to keep the hospital here,”Hoagland noted. “We alreadyhave a file that is several inchesthick from before we presented tothe state for them to keep the cen-ter here. We will continue to buildon that and more forward.”
Dr. Edward J. “Ned” Canfield, aformer state representative servingTuscola and Huron counties, hasindicated he’s cautiously opti-mistic the checks and balances ofthe three branches of government— legislative, executive and judi-cial — will enable the county toprevail in its effort.
Canfield explained the governorand director of the Department ofHealth and Human Services cansubmit proposals, but it is the Leg-islature that approves funding andwhere buildings will be located.
“Former governor Snyder al-ready agreed to spend $115 mil-lion on building a hospital inCaro,” Canfield said. “To do any-thing else with the allocated $115million to build a 225,000-square-foot hospital in Caro, it wouldhave to go back before the legis-lators.”
State Rep. Phil Green (R-Millington), who was elected toCanfields 84th District seat in No-vember, agrees, judging com-

County reps take hospital case to Lansingments he shared with a smallgroup of Cass City residents whileholding an “office hours” gather-ing at Rawson Memorial DistrictLibrary.“When it comes right down to it,
it’s up to the Legislature,” Greensaid, adding lawmakers approvedand then-Gov. Rick Snyder signedinto law the provisions for con-struction of the new psychiatrichospital in Caro.
The governor has the right topause projects to ensure they arebeing carried out properly, headded, “but she does not have theright to overturn laws she doesn’tlike.”Time is also a key factor, accord-
ing to Green. He noted there arecurrently 125 people on a waitinglist to be admitted to a Michiganpsychiatric hospital. For those in-dividuals, there are basically twooptions; admission to a medicalhospital, which will be paid only$100 to care for them, and incar-ceration in a jail, which coststhousands of dollars, explainedGreen, who serves as a memberon the House AppropriationsCommittee, including vice chairof the subcommittee on Healthand Human Services,
“And are they getting the carethey need? No. So, the state needs(psychiatric) beds. They need 200beds,” he said, adding he believesconstruction will resume in thefall in Caro “because it’s the mostexpedient way to get 200 newbeds.”
Repercussions stemming fromstate officials’ actions and internalcommunications are already beingfelt in some areas of the Thumb,including the housing market.
Judy King, an associate brokerwith Osentoski Realty Inc. inCaro, said she’s had two propertydeals fail because of the news
about the Caro Center.“One customer who was going to
buy a building in Caro has nowdecided to hold off,” said King.“Another one — a doctor in an-other state — sold his house tomove to Caro. Now, he is not be-cause of this.“I think that is happening to other
(realty) companies as well in thearea,” she added.
When the story reporting theMDHHS emails first broke,Speaker of the House Lee Chat-field along with Green and 31stDistrict state Senator Kevin Daley(R-Lum) all expressed their dis-pleasure over the news, withGreen saying he was “appalled atthe departments, that they wouldboldface lie to us. This wholepausing on building the Caro Cen-ter reeks of politics.”“This is pure executive overreach
and it is not Director Gordon’s jobto approve funding or influenceopinions — especially when theresult clearly puts rural communi-ties at a disadvantage,” Daleysaid. “The Caro Psychiatric Cen-ter has served patients in the mid-Michigan area for over 100 years,and directly impacts over 700 jobsin the Tuscola County community.We cannot let the department con-tinue to toy with our state’s mentalhealth services or the economicprosperity of a rural communitythat is already struggling.”
The Caro Center is the secondlargest employer in the county.Aside from jobs, the facility hasan economic impact on the regionestimated at some $54 million.The state has already spent about
$3 million between drafting blue-prints for the 200-bed facility anddemolishing buildings to makeway for new construction.

shrinking, and when you take amarket away from a prolific pro-ducer you create stockpiles offood that have nowhere to go,” heexplained.
“The U.S. population is stable,and so it is those increasing mar-kets abroad that we look to forselling our crops.
“As crop prices plummet, inputcosts — including land — con-tinue to rise, it has been very dif-ficult for growers to make aliving. In some instances, it iscausing farmers to sell or rethinkwhether to continue their opera-tions,” Milligan said. “Growerswant to farm, so they need tomake a return on their investmentin order to stay in production.Sound trade deals and access toglobal markets can help usachieve this goal and run a suc-cessful business.“Simply put, we need more mar-
ket access abroad, and more tradedeals like the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).Agriculture is…important to notonly me and my family, but to allof Michigan’s economy and citi-zens. The agriculture industry inthe Great Lakes State is worth$101 billion a year and employs932,000 people.”
In wheat alone, Michigan pro-duces 50 million bushels a yearworth $390 million to the state’seconomy. State and national sta-tistics estimate nearly 8,000 wheatfarmers grow a crop for Michi-gan’s five major millers, who havebeen around for 150 years. Thosemillers in turn sell to the manyfinal users in the Great Lakes re-gion, including cereal and crackercompanies.
“In addition to the Great Lakesregion, there are other users acrossthe United States, but the marketsthat don’t get enough attention arethose markets abroad,” Milligansaid. “A lot of the wheat we pro-duce in this country is exported toMexico and other countries. Infact, agricultural exports accountfor 22,800 jobs in our state alone.”Milligan said roughly 63 percent
of the wheat crop Michigan ex-ports goes to Mexico and Canada.
Both countries are vital tradepartners that benefit farms acrossthe country, according to ZippyDuvall, American Farm Bureaupresident.
“Traditionally, about 25 percentof all our farm products, by value,are exported to other nations,”Duvall said in an opinion piecepublished in The Hill in late Feb-ruary. “While that key measure-ment speaks volumes about thedemand for U.S. farm products in

“USMCA will not only help se-cure the gains for U.S. agriculturemade under the previous NorthAmerican Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA), but according to astudy…by Purdue University,USMCA could also increase U.S.net exports to Canada and Mexicoby another $454 million,” saidDuvall, who pointed out USMCAwould benefit a variety of produc-ers — building new market accessfor dairy and poultry products, forexample.“U.S. farmers and ranchers have
worked hard to build markets andbe reliable suppliers to both (Mex-ico and Canada),” Duvall said.“Now it’s up to Congress to sealthe deal by ratifying USMCA in atimely manner.”
Milligan agreed. “It’s now timefor Congress to call for a vote andratify the deal,” he said.
“I’m proud to be a farmer and Iwant future generations of Milli-gans to be able to farm, too. That’swhy I’m strongly backing theU.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.It updates…NAFTA and locks inour access to the Mexican marketwhile improving the wheat grad-ing system in Canada,” he added.
development of 226 acres of land that included the former prison campand part of the psychiatric hospital property.
The property is being offered in three parcels, including a 113-acretract that is part of the Caro Center, bordered by M-81, Chambers Roadto the west and the Cass River to the east and south.The second parcel totals about 40 acres and is part of the former Camp
Tuscola. It is bordered by the Cass River on the west and ChambersRoad on the east, north and south.The third property totals roughly 73 acres, is part of the former prison
land, and is bordered by the Cass River on the north and west, and pri-vately-owned land on the south and Chambers Road on the east.All of the land is in Indianfields Township.
“The Michigan Land Bank received four proposals for acquisition/de-velopment of the Tuscola-Caro property,” said Gabby Abel, communi-cations manager for the Talent and Economic DevelopmentDepartment.“Members from the Michigan Land Bank (recently) met with the local
advisory committee and had applicants present their proposals. The landbank is currently reviewing the proposals.”

THE SKY WAS clear and
sunny, but a brisk wind
provided for chilly condi-
tions Saturday morning
as about 300 Cass City
area youngsters, parents
and grandparents turned
out for the third annual
Easter egg hunt at the
football field in Cass City.
Hundreds of eggs were
placed on the field, sepa-
rated for various age
groups, ensuring all the
kids went home with a
bag full of treats. The
Cass City Missionary
Church organizes and
hosts the holiday event.

The retirement of Jay Green as dean of students in the Kingston SchoolDistrict will relieve Supt. Matt Drake of some duties.When Green retired in February after 30 years in education, the board
of education agreed to hire and have a high school principal in placewhen school starts next fall, resulting in a shift of some duties awayfrom Drake.
In the interim, social studies/history teacher Matt Seaman will fill inas dean of students until the end of this school year, and Jessica Culberthas taken over Seaman’s classroom for the remainder of the year.
“Jay was dean of students when I came here. He kind of ran the day-to-day operations of the school, but he didn’t do teacher evaluations orsome of the other high school duties so I did,” Drake said following arecent board of education meeting. “I had been doing teacher evalua-tions as superintendent and as high school principal, and those dutiesalong with school improvement and evaluations will now be dealt withby the new high school principal.”The salary for dean of students is about $66,500 a year. The new high
school principal position posting has a pay range of $78,000 to $85,000.
Also, Drake noted the district, including the staff and school board, isproud of its girls basketball team for making it to the state quarterfi-nals.“That was pretty exciting for us. We had never made it that far before,”
he noted. “There were only four Class D schools left, and we only lostby two points.”Even though Green retired, he will still be active in the school district
as coach of the girls’ basketball team.“He didn’t retire from that,” said Drake. “He is going to keep coaching
as long as he wants to.”
In other business, the school board discussed making the drug Narcanavailable should school officials ever face an opioid overdose. Drakesuggested having a Narcan nasal spray device placed in a school AED(automated external fibrillator) box, and Trustee Kristen Misener saidthere should be designated individuals authorized to administer theemergency drug due to liability.
Kingston Village President Cory Skinner, who was in attendance atthe meeting, voiced concerns about blood-borne pathogens and poten-tial violent reactions from a person coming out of an opioid overdose.
Following discussion, the board decided more research is needed be-fore the district becomes a Narcan holding site.
It was also pointed out that there is a recall on certain AED devicesand that will be looked into as well.
Due to past meeting cancellations as a result of inclement weather, theboard conducted its annual reorganization meeting.The board elected the following officers for the school year: President
Dave Kolacz, Vice President Scott Neff, Secretary Jeff Long and Treas-urer Jason Koehler. The board also voted to continue meeting at 7 p.m.

Kingston Schools chipsaway at making up daysmissed to winter storms
by Mary DrierFor the Chronicle
Kingston School officials are continuing to make calendar adjustmentsto offset a portion of 15 missed days of classes this school year due toinclement weather.Officials cancelled a scheduled countywide professional development
day March 1 to make up for one day, and a second will be reclaimedMonday, April 22.The original calendar called for students to have April 19 through April
22 off. Good Friday is the 19th, and that will remain as a no-school dayfor students, but students will now have to return to class on Monday,April 22.
School officials have also moved up the end of the third marking pe-riod in order to make the last two quarters more even.In other district matters, elementary Principal Justin Diegel and fourth-
grade teacher Andrea Van Camp have applied for grant funds to createa community and school garden. They received a $1,000 grant to pur-chase materials and will be creating a garden of edible plants. The planis to use the space where the old part of the elementary school building was demolished as the area for a garden.
Another Kingston educator, science teacher Melinda Freeland, re-ceived a $1,000 grant to have her students conduct a study of agriculturesoils.
Also, Kingston School officials recently named longtime volunteerJanette Kratz as the district’s Thumb Meet of Champions Friend ofYouth award nominee.

fore, he cannot serve on the school board,” explained Drake.The term expires in 2024 and must be filled by May 1. Interested can-
didates must apply in writing.For more information or to apply, contact Drake via email at

How do we end hunger?
AN ESTIMATED 50 people representing a broad
cross-section of the community — adults, teenagers
and others, including area pastors along with gov-
ernment and agency representatives — gathered at
the Cass City United Methodist Church Saturday
for the first-ever Cass City Hunger Summit organ-
ized by area teens Addy Battel and Pearl Daskam
(pictured below, from left, with state Senator Kevin
Daley) with assistance from MSU Extension offi-
cials. The event encouraged participants to explore
ways to fight hunger locally by matching individual
and organization strengths with the need. (Photos
