The Lil’ Town with the Big Heart My Hometown It’s about one mile from end to end, it doesn’t have much activ- ity, but it is friendly and like a family. What is it? If you guessed Almont, you’re wrong. It could only be our own hometown, the don’t-blink-too- quick thriving metropolis of Ca- pac. Capac may be a small town, but it’s our small town, a town that shows warmth and friendli- ness. Like the sign says, it’s the “Lil’ Town with the Big Heart!” Okay, we all know it’s not really a thriving metropolis, and it can be pretty dead at times, but freshman Melisa Johnson summed it up pretty well by say- ing, “It’s almost like everyone is family here in Capac.” Well, maybe not everybody is friendly. As sophomore Shan- non Keegan stated, “Everyone is pretty friendly, except the cops.” But let’s not be hard on them— they have been known to help people in need, and where else do you know the police by name? To get it straight from the heart of the small town, the kids, a few CHS students pointed out some of our town’s positive aspects. Sophomore Jim Ondrus says, “There are no muggers,” and classmate Renee Kozlowski adds, “There’s not a big drug and crime problem in a small town.” Finally, senior Kim Robinson comments, “The security you feel in a small town can never be found in a large city.” There are other advantages, t oo. Junior Ryan Kaufman notes, “You can’t get lost.” (But have you ever asked him for direc- tions?) And senior Michelle Hess adds, “There’s not a lot of traffic.” (Perhaps she’s accident- prone?) For people who like to be in- the-know, small town life can be great. “You know everyone and it’s easier to get the good gossip,” says sophomore Misty Orlowski. Summing up the best of life in Capac, sophomore Melanie McNutt says, “You feel safe, be- cause even though it’s small, it’s home.” —Marty Barker When fall rolls around, the bleachers are always packed with die-hard foot- ball fans like these.
