FRASER — At its regular meeting on Sept. 14, the Fraser City Council approved a measure to purchase a Flock Safety camera system to aid the city’s police force in its investigations. The measure was adopted unanimously, although Councilwoman Suzanne Kalka and Councilwoman Dana Sutherland were absent. The City Council approved the purchase of a twoyear contract for the cameras, which amounted to approximately $3,000 per camera per year in addition to a one-time installation cost. Eight cameras were approved for purchase, although the cost of three will be reimbursed to the city by the Fraser Public Schools district, which partnered with the city on the initiative to buy the camera system.

Day of the Dead altars are decorated with flowers, sugar skulls and items that represent the lives of deceased loved ones.
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Several Day of the Dead events are scheduled at the Lorenzo Cultural Center on the Center Campus of Macomb Community College, located at 44575 Garfield Road. The Day of the Dead, known in Spanish as Día de los Muertos, is observed Nov. 1-2 and coincides with the Catholic observances of All Saints Day Nov. 1 and All Souls Day Nov. 2. Generally celebrated in Mexico, with variations observed in other Latin American countries and different parts of the world, Day of the Dead celebrates the lives of the departed through the displays of decorative altars. The altars — called ofrendas in Spanish — include flowers, colorful tissue paper, sugar skulls, candles and personal items of the loved one. An altar-building workshop with professor Maria Ramos will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 26. Participants are asked to bring framed copies of loved ones and other personal items. On Nov. 1, Marlon Lara Parrons will give a presentation about the Day of the Dead from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. See ALTAR on page 13A
