DATELINE: WE HAVE A RUNNER

You may have seen him out running, as he has trained for marathons, but now you will see him running in a different forum. Not since Bob McCarty contiplated making a run to oust Sterling Heights "Singing" Mayor Al Martin in 1972, has another McCarty attempted to put their name on an election ballot. That is, until the August 7, 2012 Primary Election where Austin McCarty will run to be a Republican Delegate to the Macomb County Convention. The 22 year old, since graduating from Michigan State University, has become very involved in the community and the Republic Party, and wants to be a good and consciencious citizen. The Clinton Township proposed ballot is to the right. Good Luck Austin!

DATELINE: WE HAVE ANOTHER RUNNER

His other running passion took Austin to the finish line of the annual Dexter-Ann Arbor Half Marathon. It's the big kahuna! The run was 13.1 miles of scenery on winding Huron River Drive with the classic finish in beautiful downtown Ann Arbor! Austin finished the race in 2:22:30.

DATELINE: MACKENZIE HIGH GOES DOWN

Go Stags! Make that, "No More Stags!" Demolition on Mackenzie High School began June 28, and is expected to take about four months. Mackenzie has been closed as a result of a shrinking student base in the Detroit Public Schools. School officials say an elementary school will be erected on Mackenzie's site. "What's next?" Mackenzie High grad Mike McCarty wondered aloud. "My George Ford Elementary is gone, Mackenzie is going, and the front wall of my old house on Sussex was torn off." Mike is one of four Mackenzie grads on a team in the Dan McCarty Golf Classic. Mike Dakesian, Steve Truman and Brad Mathers are the other Stags.

DATELINE: MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE

Larry McCarty scored big at the Make a Wish Foundation Charity Fund Raiser as he won the winning bid on 2 pairs of Elvis Sunglasses and 4 Platinum Tours at Graceland, which also includes a tour of Elvis' Airplanes, The Sincerely Elvis Museum, The Elvis Auto Museum, the Elvis on Tour Exhibit, and one free dump in the King's personal commode.

THE REAL INDEPENDENCE DAY?
The Declaration of Independence was announced on July 4th, though the formal signing didn’t occur until August 2nd, and the colonies actually voted to accept it on July 2nd. So you may wonder – what day is the real Independence Day? John Adams, who first proposed the idea of declaring independence from England, wrote a famous letter to his wife, Abigail, about how he believed July 2nd would be a day that was remembered and celebrated in America for years to come. Apparently everyone else remembered otherwise…

A PATRIOTIC DEATH?
Three American presidents have died on the fourth of July. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the same day, in 1826. They had been rivals in everything, even about who would live longest. Adams’ last words were about his long-time foe: “Thomas Jefferson lives!” In fact, Jefferson had died just five hours earlier, but Adams hadn’t gotten the message. James Monroe is the third president to die on July 4th, but he died in 1831.

OLD GLORY
Did you know, that there have been 28 versions of the U.S flag to date, and that the most recent one, designed after Alaska and Hawaii joined the union, was the result of a school project? Robert Heft was 17 when he came up with the flag design in 1958. He originally got a B- on the project, but when his pattern won the national competition to become the next flag, his teacher raised his grade to an A.


Steve & Kristen has unveiled their menu for the big 4th of July Bar B Que. Mmm Mmm Good.... I'll have some extra peach cobbler.

I've enclosed a photo for the next McCarty Metro "What the heck is that!!" The answer is Steve McCarty's deformed hand. This is weird and the result of one of his fingers falling off in an Eisenhower High School Gym Class. I would like to invite other McCarty's with damages from sports injuries. (i.e. Rick McCarty's Baseball Finger, Mike McCarty's Puck Imprint on his forehead, and Jerry McCarty's Post Traumatic Dodgeball Disorder) to join my Class Action Lawsuit against "Sports". That's right, for the low cost of $499 you can be eligible for a large award settlement. (Of course after deductions for my reasonable fees and expenses). -Tony C

ED NOTE: I've seen the hand, I've seen the puck imprint, I've seen Jerry go into the fetal position when we saw the movie Dodgeball. I'm calling 1-900-HEY TONY today!

What's all this outrage of Jerry Sandusky at Penn State? My High School coach used to shower with us all the time and nobody thought anything bad about it. Sure it was the Chess Team, but I think the same should go for Football. -DP

ED NOTE: Although many years too late, I'm glad the ugly truth has come out in Pennsylvania. Jo Pa and Dick Clark are rolling over in their graves.

Karen and I visited Mom in late June. I had grilled cheese for lunch in the Villa Bella cafetera. And I used the handy wet nap on my plate. Karen claims it was not a wet nap, but a piece of lettuce. What's the difference? -Mike in G.R.

ED NOTE: Mike... I know the grilled cheese at Villa Bella. The grilled cheese is a friend of mine. Mike... That was not lettuce on that grilled cheese sammich.
