By Erica McClain and Sean DaltonHeritage Media

Renowned Chelsea communitymember Robert Bob Daniels diedSept. 1 due to natural causes. Hewas 83.

Born in Ann Arbor on March10, 1929, Daniels was the presidentof Chelsea Lumber Companyfrom 1970 onward and a former

president of the village of Chelseain the 60s. He was also an activemember of Chelsea First UnitedMethodist Church.

Daniels was heavily involved inefforts in Chelsea as a foundingmember of Chelsea CommunityFoundation and an instrumentalfundraiser for the Chelsea DistrictLibrary.

Daniels also served on theChelsea School District Board ofEducation for five years as presi-dent and served as treasurer forthe Detroit-based Spaulding, anonprofit child welfare agency, forChildren for 35 years.

Im not sure there are enough

good words in the English lan-guage to say what Bob Daniels wasto this community, Chelsea CityCouncilmember Frank Hammersaid.

Hammer called Daniels passinga great loss to the community as hewas a man of honor and a man ofpurpose a man of the people.

He was one of the backbonesof the community, Hammer said.He never went out for fame buthe was always behind everythingthat was going on.

Chelsea City Mayor JasonLindauer concurred with

By Sean DaltonHeritage Media

Chelsea City Council made its first steptoward the sale of the citys former police sta-

tion at 104 E. Middle St at a regular meetingAug. 28.

Only a few comments were made during apublic hearing, the first in the sale process.

City Councilman Kent Martinez-Kratzasked his colleagues about the process to selland whether it would involve requests for pro-posal, or RFPs, to which City Manager JohnHanifan explained that RFPs were one option.

The (city) charter gives latitude ... what weare going to consider is the use of a broker,Hanifan said. Were not in any particular

time crunchto get rid ofit.

So far, allcity prop-erty, otherthan somecaches of

city recordsin the oldstationsbasement,have beenmoved.

Hanifandid say thatthe citywould notbe drivinga develop-

ment and would rather just sell the buildingand property outright and leave the directionof development up to a private buyer.

Resident George Till was the only memberof the public to ask a question, partially fromthe perspective of a member of the ChelseaArea Historical Society.

As far as sales go, will it be negotiable withthe broker? Till asked. For instance, Im apart of the historical society and we do havean interest in the building. Would grants bea part of the sale? Are you going to take thatinto consideration?

Chelsea resident Wade Kellogg, 54, and his26-year-old son Matt arent your typical thill-seeking mountain climbers - in fact, its morepersonal and meaningful for the father andson duo, who hope to make it their familyscherished tradition.

Wade grew up in Washington state 26 milesfrom Mount Rainier, named by an Englishofficer of the British Royal Navy, Cpt. GeorgeVancouver, in 1792 in honorof his colleague and friendRear Admiral Peter Rainier.Native Americans hadcalled it Talol, or mother ofwaters, for its abundance of glacial ice andlocation in the River Valley.

An active volcano with a summit of 14,411feet, Mt. Rainier is the highest mountain in

Washington and is referred to my locals sim-ply as The Mountain, planting the appeal ofscaling it in Wades mind years ago.

When I was a kid Id look at Mt. Rainierand now I look at it with a sense of satisfac-tion, Wade said, recalling the physical chal-lenge in comparison to an already difficult

activity like hiking up a hill.

The father and sons climb took three daysand started at Point Paradise at 5,600 feet, withbase camp being established at 11,100 feet atIngram Flats, before reaching the summit atroughly 14,410 feet.

Wades friends Jim Holmes, Ben Bouchardand Todd Bailey made an attempt late last May,but were deterred by bad weather, making thesecond excursion with Matt and assistancefrom Alpine Ascents all the more meaningful.

A climbing attempt such as the Kelloggsis preceded by weeks ofstrength and cardiovasculartraining of the entire body,with some P90x workoutsthrown into the mix. Matt,

being with the International Guard stationedat Selfridge, is no stranger to honing his physi-cality to a fine point, but nobody has an easytime seeing a summit firsthand.

It was definitely a lot more work that Ianticipated, Matt reflected, but watching myfather up there helped. He was amazing, a trueinspiration.
