About 15 members of a Japanese medical delegation toured Dexter and Chelsea Thursday. In Chelsea, Mayor Jason Lindauer welcomed the group, which included two mayors. They heard about the benefits of Chelsea Community Hospital and its family medicine practice have had on the city.

Fujio Muramatsu, mayor of Mori-town, Shawn Keough, Dexter Village president and Junichi Ota, mayor of Kikugawa, enjoy cider and doughnuts at the Dexter Cider Mill.

Dexter Cider Mill owners Richard Koziski, and his daughter, Nancy Steinhauer opened the mill Thursday to show the visitors how to press cider during their visit to the village.

"We consider ourselves ambassadors," Koziski said.
