"We are very fortunate up the Post Detective Sergeant place in the spring of 2002 Detective Sergeant Mike here in the northern area that we don't have the violent drug problems like they do down state, but it is just a matter of time before it starts, in the homes, in our schools, everywhere," said Schultz. When asked about cleaning up the drug problem Schultz said, "Very commonly there is a direct relationship between drug use and a variety of other crimes. This is a public safety issue that affects our schools, streets and property. If you think your friend won't tum you in, you're wrong, they are looking out for one person." The HUNT Team wants you to ask yourself these questions: Do drugs facilitate higher learning? Do college students have the money to spend on drugs? Are you receiving a college grant that can be retracted if you are caught with drugs in your possession? What is more important to you, educating yourself and becoming a well rounded citizen or a drug addict that society is responsible for? Hahn added, "There is no war on drugs, there's more to it than that, there is policy and procedure. The criminals play their games and we play ours. They don't play by the rules but we have to. We can afford to slip up once in a while, but a drug dealer slips up once, and we've got them. If the HUNT Team is at your door they have everything they need for a conviction."

Michigan Firefighters, Alpena Quilters Deliver for NYC Firefighters· CONNIE IRLAND Staff Writer Federal Express delivered the remaining 342 Firefighters Memorial Quilts in time for Christmas. On December 3rd, Federal Express picked up the quilts made by a group of women in Alpena, and delivered them to the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York. One quilt will be delivered to each family who lost a firefighter in the September 11th attack on New York. The inspiration for this project came from Margaret Quagon. When Quagon realized the enormity of the project she enlisted Betty Harris to help. Each of these 34 7 quilts was made from used uniforms that were donated from departments all over Michigan. A patch from the department that donated the material was sewn in the center of each quilt. Women from the community, including some ACC students, met on Tuesdays for just over a year to complete this project. Community involvement included local and state politicians, area churches, local businesses, and other community agencies. Monetary donations, from numerous sources, were spent directly on quilt making materials such as batting, backing, and binding. Earlier this year, Michigan State Representative, Andy Neumann delivered the first five quilts to Engine 214/ Ladder 111 Company, , in Brooklyn. Federal Express donation of delivery for the remaining quilts brings this project to a timely completion. Crave Pizza????
