These are other new details that have
emerged as the criminal case against 21
year-old Michael Vultaggio of Sterling
Heights begins to unfold in court.
On Monday, St. Clair County
Prosecutor Mike Wendling confirmed
that Vultaggio was arraigned on charges
last week related to the March 25 stray
bullet shooting death of Shirley Pfeil.
Vultaggio faces a count of careless
discharge of a firearm resulting in death,
a two-year offense, and lying to a police
officer during an investigation, a one-
year offense.
“With a complete lack of intent to
cause bodily harm, we felt that was the
most significant charge,” Wendling said
of the careless discharge count.
Investigators say the suspect was
allegedly target practicing at a residence
southwest of the Pfeil residence on Dunn
Road when a bullet entered Pfeil’s home,
striking and killing the 73 year-old.
Troopers on scene indicated that
Pfeil’s home was directly behind the
backstop or berm being used that day for
target practice.
Wendling said the weapon Vultaggio
was using had a “significant range,”
describing it as a rifle but not an assault
rifle and added that the backstop being
used that day was not “appropriate”
which exposed other residential proper-

ability to pass a drug screen
— that we consistently hear

Students focused on how
they could observe the size
of an object. Important
descriptive words such as

were used to verbally
explain size. This led to a
discussion of tools that can
be used to measure objects

have options for filing a
late return, according to
the Michigan Department
of Treasury (Treasury).
“Late filers should file
all income tax returns that
are due,” said Deputy
Treasurer Glenn White,
head of Treasury’s Tax
Administration Group. “If
a taxpayer owes tax and
cannot make full payment,
Treasury will work with
them on payment options.
We want to help taxpayers
avoid interest charges and
late payment penalties.”

“That’s what you call

“Yes, ma’am, a Tavern

Only this time there’s a

Taxpayers who receive

waived on an assessment if
a taxpayer can show rea-

Reasonable cause includes

State offers school finance analysis
New dashboard delivers data and rankings from 2013-2017
By Maria Brown
mbrown@pageone-inc.com
TRI-CITY AREA —
The latest tool developed
by the Michigan
Department of Treasury
details the fiscal health of
the state’s school districts.
Last month, the depart-
ment unveiled the new MI
School Financials
Dashboard website. It
offers visual budgetary
data for districts, interme-
diate school districts and
public school academies
through interactive maps,
pie charts and graphs.
“This dashboard pro-
vides a financial snapshot
of the state’s nearly 900
schools,” said Deputy State
Treasurer Dr. Eric
Scorsone, head of
Treasury’s Local and State
Finance Group.
“Taxpayers can explore
an interactive map to obtain
a better understanding
about their school’s financ-
es.”
The MI School
Financials Dashboard uses
data schools are required to
report to the Center for
Educational Performance
and Information (CEPI).
Other sources of data
include Michigan GIS
Open Data and Michigan
Department of Education’s
Bulletin 1014.
Information in the
“Data Snapshot” section
lists per pupil funding
received from the state;
their fall student count;
general fund revenues,
expenditures and debt ser-
vice; homestead taxable
value and non-homestead
taxable value. Each listing
includes charts that indi-
cates if those numbers have
trended up or down between
2013-2017.
Across the board, all
local districts show that
their homestead taxable
values have improved since
2013. Conversely, they
all—except for Almont—
saw their non-homestead
values decline over the
same time period. Non-
homestead property is the
only type of land levied by
schools.
•Dryden:
—$140 million to $152
million for homestead
—$27.11 million to
$26.75 million for non-
homestead
•Almont:
—$229.5 million to

One of those ways
could be an on-site vehicle

Such a vehicle is the
brainchild of David Juncaj,
owner of JER Equipment

would not be a substitute
for traditional law enforce-
ment and emergency
response.
“This vehicle is a tool
to be used in conjunction
with a police response,”
said Asciutto. “The advan-
tage is this vehicle will be
the first at the scene—
before police or ambulanc-
es arrive.”
He said the four cam-
eras aboard the ASRV
would serve as “the first
eyes and ears on the
ground” in an emergency.
Asciutto noted that the
vehicle can also be used
for health-related emergen-
cies and even non-emer-
gency situations, such as at
sporting events, parades,
school and community
“I think it would be
very helpful to have access
to a defibrillator available
for athletic events and for
snow plowing,” said
Cameron. “That could be a
convenient and efficient
way for us to go.”
Should the vehicle
become school property,
Cameron said protocol
would need to be estab-
lished to determine who
would have access to the
vehicle.
“We would probably
situate the vehicle at the
high school or in the bus
garage,” he said. “We could
have ancillary staff play a
role and have access.”
Asciutto believes the
ASRV will be beneficial to
any school district wishing

said.
“It wasn’t his weapon
so he was not familiar with
it. It really boils down to

As for the second
charge related to lying to a
police officer, Wendling
said Vultaggio was not
“100 percent truthful about
use of the weapon”
although he later corrected
his statement.
“We feel he was the
only individual responsible
for the shot that killed the
victim,” he said. “We were

Kids, staff at AMS take

‘challenge’ to be active
P.E. teacher heads schoolwide
effort to boost physical activity
By Tom Wearing

ALMONT — Almont
Middle School Physical
Education (PE) teacher
Erik Johnson is a strong
advocate for physical fit-

physical education, while
the top three staff mem-
bers will receive 60-min-
ute massage sessions at
Warnars Chiropractic of
Imlay City.
“The premise of the
exclude other types of
activity.
“We want to encour-
age the kids to get out and
do whatever they can—
and to understand that any
activity is beneficial.”
He noted that weather
conditions in April have
not been ideal for outdoor
activities, but staff mem-
bers have come up with

ness among his students.
Johnson insists it is
equally important for
adults to adopt and adhere
to a regular regime of
physical activity.
During the month of
April, Johnson has spear-
headed an “Active Schools
Challenge” at the middle
school, involving the par-
ticipation of both students
and staff.
The ‘Challenge’ offi-
cially began on April 5,
following spring break,
and concludes on
Thursday, May 3.
Johnson said the most
active classes in each
grade (5th-8th) will
‘Challenge’ is for students
and the entire staff to pro-
mote an active lifestyle by
tracking his/her activity
each day,” said Johnson.
“Tracking sheets are dis-
tributed weekly to record
the activities and amount
of time spent on those
activities each day.”
Johnson said the num-
bers are then tallied up to
determine the classes that
demonstrate the highest
levels of physical activity.
“We encourage any
and all physical activity
inside and outside of
school,” said Johnson.
“We didn’t want to pigeon-
hole certain activities or to
some alternative ways to
get the kids moving inside.
“A popular indoor
activity is using the
GoNoodle website,” said
Johnson, “which has an
extensive library of videos
leading the class through a
variety of physical activi-
ties.”
Regardless of the ele-
ments, Johnson believes it
is imperative that young
and old set down their
devices from time to time
and get up and start mov-
ing.
“We’re hoping to get
the kids out of their seats
and moving around,” said
Johnson. “Studies have

New postmaster finds Imlay City to her liking

Shelly DeFever welcomed to
town at Tuesday open house
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
IMLAY CITY — The
mail must go through and
Shelly DeFever has come
to town to make sure it
does.
Having recently
assumed the duties of Imlay
City Postmaster, the Imlay
City Post Office hosted a
community open house on
Tuesday for residents to
meet and greet DeFever.
An employee of the
U.S. Postal Service since
April of 1994, DeFever
started out as a city carrier
in the City of Troy.
She later moved on to
the Davison Post Office,
where she served as super-
visor.
More recently, she
worked at the North Branch
Post Office, before accept-
ing the postmaster position
in Imlay City.
DeFever said she is still
adjusting to her new sur-
roundings and looking for-
ward to meeting more of
her Imlay City customers.
“I love Imlay City and
the people have been won-
derful,” said DeFever. “My
goal is to get out and meet
more people from the com-
munity.”
Since her arrival,
DeFever and her staff have
been concentrating on
cleaning up and clearing
out the office.
On Tuesday, she was
joined by Jeffrey Adams, a
Business Development
Specialist for the Troy
office.
“I’m just here to sup-
port the new postmaster
and to reach out to the local
community,” said Adams.
“We also want to introduce
some of the new products
and services available at
the post office.”

TRI-CITY AREA —
Lapeer County has a lot
going for it. An up-north
feel, historic architecture,
spirited sports teams and
even the Eastern Michigan
State Fair. What it doesn’t
have is a college campus.
That's why Macomb
Community College, just
25 to 35 miles away, offers
a special discount to Tri-
City residents.
“I chose Macomb
because I knew their vet
tech program was the best
around,” says Autumn
Hofmann, of Dryden. “I did
not know of the affiliate
tuition rate prior to register-
ing, but I was so thankful
when I found out.”
Macomb’s affiliate
tuition rate is exclusively
for residents outside of
Macomb County not served
by an in-county college,
including those who live in
Almont, Dryden or Imlay
City. At $127 per credit
hour, it is nearly $60 per
credit hour less than what is
charged to out-of-county
residents. Other community
colleges in the area do not
offer an affiliate rate and
charge out-of-district rates
ranging from $183 to $227
per hour.
Macomb’s value (most
of its students leave debt
free) is matched by both the
quality of the education and
the variety of college expe-
riences available.
For Nick Pica, of
Dryden, the experience he
was looking for was on a
money, anything over 12
credits I pay for.”
Pica played baseball at
Almont High School for
four years
