also in the vehicle,
accidentally put the car in

son Norm Yoder in an earlier interview. The auction
featured about four horses
and a dozen quilts.
From that simple start
the event started to grow
by leaps and bounds. The
Clare Retailers even got
into the act and convinced
the Clare County Transit to
run shuttle busses from the
city to the Herrick Road
event. Just a few years ago
it had grown into a huge
weekend event featuring
400 to 500 vendors and
bringing thousands to the
community.
It was so big, two events
were held every year,
on the third weekend of
May and again on Labor
Day weekend. Finally
John Henry split part of
the event off to the Yoder
Brothers Auctioneers, LeRoy and Willis Yoder.
They now hold the massive 300 plus horse auction
at the Isabella County Fairgrounds. The horse auction,
featuring all Standard bred
animals is held three times
during the year. Check

Amish craft show this weekend

Clare, MI
Permit #19
If crafts and quilts are
your thing, Amish quilts
and crafts are known for
quality and beautiful work
all over the United States.
You can find some of the
very best right here. Clare
is the home of one of the
largest consignment sales
in the Midwest and a
semi-annual quilt auction
that can’t be beat.
This weekend – May 16
and 17 –is 30th anniversary of the annual sale and
auction at the farm of John
Henry Yoder on Herrick
Road just four miles east
of Clare.
To celebrate the annual
event, the Michigan Steam
Railroading Institute will
be bringing a passenger
train to Clare on Saturday.
The passengers, coming especially to visit the
Amish Craft Show and
Quilt Auction event, will
arrive in Clare at the new
depot site at 11:30 a.m.
and depart for the trip
back to Owosso at 5 p.m.
Amish market founder
John Henry Yoder moved
to the area in 1981 from
Homes County, Ohio. He
and his family were part
of one of the first Amish
settlements in the area. In
1984 he started the Amish
Consignment Auction
and Flea Market on his
nounced. Over 500 pieces
of farm machinery and
equipment and much more
are auctioned at that event.
John Henry and family
still have the quilts, flea
market and craft show, and
it is still held on Friday
and Saturday of the third
weekend in May and on the
Friday and Saturday before
Labor Day.
Shuttle busses will be
busy ferrying visitors to the
huge sale site. These days
there are more than 600
booths of crafts, handmade
items and made-in-the-area
farm products, more than
one person can visit in a
long day. About 300 handmade quilts from all over
the United States are also
auctioned off, many Amish
made. The event brings
from 15,000 to 20,000
visitors to Clare each time
it is held.
On Friday quilt tops,
wall hangings, carpets,
rugs and other hand quilted
small items are auctioned.
On Saturday it is all beautiful quilts on the auction
block. Recently a top
selling quilt went for about
$4,000, Norm said.
The Clare County
Transit is still offering
rides from Clare to the
event. In order to make
special events in Clare,
like the Amish Auction and
the train coming into the
station, more convenient to
increase in the gasoline tax
which added $500,000 to
our budget for roads. We
had money to pay 25 percent on local road projects
and 50 percent on major
roads then. We don’t have
that now. Since that time,
funding has been declining
and costs have gone up.
We have lost the $500,000
and more. Our fleet of 34
trucks is now down to 17.
We barely have enough to
maintain the roads now.”
He said several proposals in the legislature
could increase their State
funding, but “We probably won’t see any of
that money until 2016.”
Without State funds, the
improvement of roads is
falling to the townships,
he said.
Grant Township does
have just over $200,000
set aside for road repairs
this year. At the Tuesday
meeting they approved

Kayakers pull
unconscious man
from Muskegon
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Five kayakers are credited with saving the life
of Lance Vanbuskirk, 33,
of Harrison last Saturday
when they pulled him,
unconscious, from the
Muskegon River and called
for help.
According to a release
from the Clare County
Sheriff’s Department,
Deputies received the call
around 2 p.m. about an unconscious man in the river
in Summerfield Township.
The incident happened
in the northwest part of the
township near the border
of Winterfield and Summerfield Townships, off
Muskegon Road on the
outskirts of Temple.
Undersheriff Dwayne
Miedzianowski said Vanbuskirk was seen walking
along the railroad tracks.
Witnesses found him in the
river. “It appears he fell
in,” Miedzianowski said.
They reported that
the five Kayakers pulled
Vanbuskirk out of the river
and onto the riverbank and
called Central Dispatch.
Vanbuskirk was taken to
MidMichigan Medical
Center – Clare. He received
treatment there and was
released, Deputies said.
The cause of Vanbuskirk’s fall into the river
was not released. “The
cause will be determined
by medical staff,” Miedzianowski said.
Sheriff John Wilson said
he wants to commend the
five kayakers: Jason Tuttle
of Adrian, Timothy Dudley
of Imlay City, Brandon
Taylor, Matthew Pinkard
and Casey Deere of Tecumseh for their heroic effort in helping Vanbuskirk.
The Sheriff’s Department was assisted at the
scene by Mobile Medical
Ambulance Service, the
Lincoln Township Fire
Department, the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement
Division and the Michigan
State Police – Mt. Pleasant

Michigan history. Angela’s parents retired to
Harrison when she was a
teenager from the downriver area south of Detroit. She now manages the
Harrison District Library’s
local history collection. The pictorial history
they have compiled together represents the best
photographs, facts and

DTE Energy Marketing
Specialist Suresh Bhargava was at the meeting
to explain the project. He
outlined the savings for residents who make the switch
from propane and said the
company has contracted
with Roese Contracting
Company of Kawkawlin to
begin laying pipe between
June 1 and June 15. “We
have committed to this project,” he said.
He estimated the pipe
would be installed by August 15 and the residences
hooked up by October or
sooner, and outlined the
cost to convert to the less
expensive natural gas supply, which is 98 percent
domestic. He said they
already have over half of

Beemer, who studied and

We are moving forward thanks to all the help and love from this
community. I have to tell you that being on the receiving end of the
out pouring of love in this community is very overwhelming. We
have had a very hard time taking donations because we have always
been on the other side of something like this. You can’t even imagine how heavy this weighs on someone; the reality of every memory
made in the house you lived in for the last 23 years is just that, a
memory. We have them imbedded in our minds and they will be
with us forever, not even an evil horrible fire like this can take that
away from a person. What I will share with you and want you to remember from our ordeal is, take many good memory pictures with
your mind. GOD gave us an amazing life camera to keep memories
in. Make sure you put good memories in that camera, and keep
the bad ones from even ever being put there. We found many of
photo’s that were able to be saved. They are so precious to all of us,
especially if we think they were destroyed.
To all the firemen that were involved in this. You all went out of
your way to save those memories we have. The general public will
never know the feeling of going into a burning structure that you
have no idea of the layout, in total blindness due to the intense
smoke that filled the house. I have often heard some say, “why
don’t they just let it burn to the ground, it would be easier to clean
up”. I myself have thought that at many of structure fires I have
been at over the last 25 years. I know there are many reasons that
you try to stop a fire and extinguish it, but now we know the most
important one coming from the family who lost it. That is to save
something even little for the family that lived there to have to hold
onto for their memories. Even though it’s considered a total loss,
we still can look at what is there and remember. Firemen and women, you are a unique bread of individuals for what you do for nothing more than the very little pay you do receive, and all the hours of
training you go through. You are all a true example of giving back to
your community.
To all of my employees that came to my aid that day, thank you from
all of the Wilson’s. You all went out of your way to help in any way
you could. Thanks to Undersheriff Miedzianowski for not only helping my family, but our neighbor Sharon Curtis. Thanks to Lori Ware
for going out of her way to also help Sharon who had no family or
home to go to. Sharon’s home was damage to the point she wasn’t
able to stay in it and had to be moved.
Again, Thank you to All who have helped, prayed, and kept us in
your thoughts.

Farwell takes first step
to develop DDA district
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
In a special meeting
held April 22 during their
monthly Committee of
the Whole meeting, the
Farwell Village Council
accepted a proposal from
a new Engineering Firm
to put together a feasibility study and create a
Downtown Development
Authority and TIF Plan for
the Village.
The Village Council
discussed two proposals
for the work; one from
Village Engineering Firm
Wade Trim for $20,400
over 12 months, and one
from McKenna Associates
Community Planning and
Design of Northville, MI
for $22,000 over seven
months.
An initial motion to
accept the Wade Trip
proposal by Council
member Elton Marshall
had no second. A second
motion by Joe Manley to
approve the Wade Trim
proposal with feasibility
study costs of $6,500 was
MMR
receives
accreditation
Mobile Medical Response, providing ambulance service in 13 mid
and northern Michigan
counties has received reaccreditation status from
both the Commission on
the Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) and
the International Academy
of Emergency Medical
Dispatch (IAED).
CAAS is an independent Commission that
established a comprehensive series of standards
for the ambulance service
industry. CAAS accreditation signifies that a service
has met the “gold standard”
determined by the ambulance industry to be essential in a modern emergency
medical services provider.
These standards often
exceed those established
by state or local regulation.
The CAAS standards are
designed to increase operational efficiency and clinical quality, while decreasing risk and liability to the
organization. The process
includes a comprehensive
self-assessment and an independent external review
of the EMS organization.
This independent process
provides verification to
local government, the
medical community and
community members at
large that quality care is
provided to the community.
MMR received a zero
deficiencies rating with
a perfect score and a full
three-year accreditation
term. There are approximately 150 agencies in
the United States that are
accredited by CAAS. According to CAAS, “The applicant service desiring to
become accredited should
do so with the knowledge
that it will fall into a class
that has more to prove
every day, rather than less.
That is, the conferment of a
Certificate of Accreditation
is not justification to rest on
that laurel, but to prove at
all times that such recognition is warranted.”
voted down with Village
President Steve Grim,
Council member Marshall
and Joe Manley voting yes
and Council members Gina
Hamilton, James Conlay,
Vicky Gunden and Joe
Colosky voting no.
The third motion, to
approve the McKenna
proposal with the feasibility study costs at $3,000 of
the total proposal was approved 5 to 2 with Manley
and Grim voting no.
The feasibility study is
required to qualify for a
DDA through the State,
said Clerk Janet Conlay.
Since there was some community concern over the
DDA proposal, the Village
would still be able to opt
out of the project if they
decide to do that. She said
some community members
were against developing a
DDA in the Village.
During the COW meeting earlier the Village
Council discussed the upcoming Floyd and Webber
Street project. They also
agreed to look at the cost
for a one inch asphalt layer
on Hall Street between
Illinois and Floyd while
getting bids for the local
street project.
At the regular meeting May 5, the Council
approved a proposal
from Medler Electric for
$1,792.00 to replace 32
of the main street lights
with 35 watt LED retrofit
bulbs. The payback for the
energy efficient bulbs is
1.65 years.
Three COW motions
The Clare County Review - May 16, 2014 - Page 5A
were approved at the regular meeting: the first was
adoption of the Rules of
Procedure; the second was
approval of a resolution to
exempt the Village from
the provisions of Public
Act 152 of 2011 (the
purchase of tax sale property); and the third was
the appointment of Joe
Manley to the Parks and
Recreation Committee.
Other business at the
Village Council meeting
included:
*Approval of the
Power Generation Planned
Equipment Maintenance
Agreement with Cummins
Bridgeway LLC for lift
stations 1, 2, and 3 for the
amount of $2,732.74.
*A discussion of mosquito control options for
the Village.
*A report from County
Commissioner Lynn
Grim.
*Discussion of Hogger’s sandblasted sign
estimate for $1,250 and
design idea similar to the
Enterprise Park sign with
the Farwell Village Hall
inscribed.
*Estimates for cooling
and heating options for the
Village office, Police Post
and Council room will be
requested with a special
meeting May 20 to review
estimates.
*A report that the DPW
will purchase 12 trees to
replace those removed
earlier as approved at the
last meeting.
*Approval of bills
totaling $26,913.66.
State Rep. Kevin Cotter (left) appears with Dr. Jan Pol before the House Committee on Health Policy. Dr. Pol gave testimony in support of House Bill 5176.
Dr. Pol offers testimony
The House Health Policy Committee today heard
testimony on a bill that
would protect health care
professionals from allegations of misconduct seen
only on a reality television
show, announced the bill’s
sponsor, state Rep. Kevin
Cotter.
“House Bill 5176 is
meant to protect licensed
health care professionals,”
said Cotter, R-Mt. Pleasant.
“Currently, people from
across the country can file
professional misconduct
complaints against a health
care professional based on
what that person saw on
TV, without any firsthand
knowledge of misconduct.”
Dr. Jan Pol is a licensed
veterinarian with an office
in Beal City and has a reality television show, The
Incredible Dr. Pol, on Nat
Geo Wild.
“This is common sense,”
said Dr. Pol. “We all know
that not everything we
see on television is how it
really happens 100 percent
of the time. There simply
isn’t enough time to show
every single step of the
process or procedure. By
using television editing,
my viewers are given a
snapshot of what life is like
for a rural veterinarian. But
we are just as caring and
professional as any big city
vet.”

Out on a ledge without
a way to get in
This was the week I was
going to tell readers about
the evils of our health care
system. I had come in to
work a couple of hours
early to research the topic,
when lo and behold, my
office was locked and of
course, I had no key to get
in.
Now I never lock my
office because I fear the
exact problem I was now
facing. I never lock my
house and I never lock
my cars, so it didn’t make
sense to lock my office.
Last night when I left,
however, I remembered
the IT guy was coming to
work on a computer and
copier that were giving us
problems. I didn’t want
him rifling through proprietary information I might
have in my office, so I
locked it and took the key.
So I thought I took the key.
Come to find out I
hadn’t taken the key. To
add insult to injury the
IT guy never showed up
either. So here I was at
6:20 a.m. without a key to
get into my office. I pulled
out a Sam’s Club ID card.
I figured I never use this
card because I always
shop locally. I stuck it in
the door jam, wriggled
it around until it was
scratched, bent and broken
in to two pieces. I pulled
out another useless credit
card with the same results.
Darn, the old college credit
card trick did not work in
these newer doors.
Next I remembered
I had left my window
unlatched. I figured I could
possibly open the window
from the adjoining office,
drop down three feet to
a razor thin ledge and
make my way over to the
unlatched window. Spiderman I might think I am in
my dreams, but in reality
I’m an average middleaged man.
So I slip sideways
through the window. I’m
thinking, hmm that threefoot drop to the ledge is
kind of interesting. I get
both feet on the ledge
hanging on to the edge of
the window for my dear
life. I don’t dare look down
– it’s at least fifteen feet
to the concrete sidewalk.
I start inching my way to
my office window and then
start shaking uncontrollably. It finally clicked in
my mind, this is not going
to work.
All the while, I’m thinking those that are driving
by (we are on Clare’s main
street) must think someone is attempting suicide.
I’m waiting to hear sirens.
Someone surely would call
the police. I best abort this
effort and return to safety.
So I did. There was
a slight problem getting
there, however. I didn’t
take into account, that it’s
a whole lot easier dropping
down three feet than pulling myself up three feet,
particularly when there
was very little to hang on
to. Now I was shaking,
and about to cry. How was
I going to do this without
slipping and falling to my

the wood
death, or at least to several
broken bones?
By the grace of God,
and I was praying incessantly, I managed. I carefully lifted my body up,
clinging nervously on to
the window latch, bumping
my head against concrete
and glass as I crawled
through the wafer thin
window. I made it back to
safety.
After scolding myself
for the act of stupidity,
it was now 7 a.m., and I
thought possibly I could
reach our landlord and
he would certainly have
an extra key. I called he
answered and promised to
look and call right back.
He called back and said “I
have good news and I have
bad news, what do you
want to hear first?
I always say give me
the bad. He said he didn’t
have a key. He never did
tell me the good news. So I
hit another dead end. After
a great deal of thought an
epiphany came to me. Duh,
my inner self asked, why
don’t you call a locksmith
dummy? So I did just that,
and Gilboe’s was here in
30-minutes, picked the
lock in five minutes, and
whammo, I’m now writing
this column.
I’m still shaking like a
leaf. My stupidity never
ceases to amaze me.
Don’t.
Young animals that
appear abandoned are not
usually alone. The mother
may be hiding nearby and
unless the youngster is obviously injured, or brought
home by one of your own
pets, they shouldn’t be
touched or removed from
their natural environment.
The Department of
Natural Resources wildlife experts cite a variety
of problems when people
bring wild babies home
in what they consider an
act of mercy. They can
carry serious diseases like
distemper and rabies. It is
also very difficult for those
animals to survive when
they are released back into
the wild after being raised
by humans.
Wild animals just don’t
make good pets. In some
cases of endangered species and game animals like
deer, it is illegal to bring
them home.
If you do find an obviously injured animal,
contact your local animal
control agency or the
Department of Natural
Resources office. There
are authorized agencies in
Michigan that specialize in
first aid and rehabilitation
services for wild animals.
Things are beginning
bloom again all over the
area. Guess they should be
since May is now half over
already.
You know what that
means… from here until
July will only seem like
a week or so. From here
to September first, only a
month.
It doesn’t seem fair that
January, February, March,
and yes even April this
year, all seem to last for six
months, while May, June
and July only last about
three weeks.
Summertime, which is
nearly here, means fast
time.
I think May is my favorite month of all. It really is
the beginning of things and
it ends up with the bonus
of a three-day holiday! It is
also the beginning of our
camping season, and despite the “war of the mice”
I wrote about last week, I
am anxious to go up to the
camper again – hopefully
for some sunny nice days
this time!
May is cool breezes and
warm sunshine. It is the
scent of green things growing and lilacs in bloom. It
is the taste of fresh chives,
morels and wild asparagus.
It is lacy new leaves and the
delicate purple faces of wild
violets next to bright yellow
dandelions blooming in the
impossibly green grass.
May is newly awakened
bumblebees and the return
of the hummingbirds, baby
birds cheeping, frogs peeping in the dark and sometimes a glimpse of wild
babies in the woods.
This is the time of year
when you can’t wait to get
outside, even if it is just to
go for a walk.

A letter to
Mom
Dear Mom,
I’m not one to write letters, and it has been a long
time since I wrote one,
but I want to share with
you some of the thoughts
I have been having lately.
I know its mother’s day
and especially at this time
I’m thinking of you.
I want to thank you
first of all for loving me.
You loved me when I was
bad and when I was good.
I remember the time, I
pulled up all the onion
sets in the garden when
I was 3 years old. Daddy
was gone to war, and you
called it your Victory Garden. You dusted my pants,
and then held me on your
lap and rocked me as I
cried. I remember when
we didn’t have anything
to eat, and miraculously
sandwiches appeared on
the table before me and
my brothers. I later found
out that you went to the
neighbors to borrow some
bread but they weren’t
home. So you helped
yourself to enough to feed
your children.
Thank you for the
songs you sang during the
night hours as we were
going to sleep. The boogie
man was always afraid to
come around when Mama
sang her songs of faith.
I remember the tears of
loneliness, you tried to
hide from us when you
sat in your chair mending clothes, while daddy
was away in the Philippians fighting the war.
You never said if he came
home but always told us
that daddy would take
care of it when he came
home.
I remember the confidence you instilled in us
as we set out to school
for the first time. You led
us to the door and turned
us over to a strange lady
that we would see every
day as she taught us our
ABC’s. You told us you
would be there when
school got over. What a
lesson that we could count
on, Mama would always
be there. You were always
there when I got hurt,
when I was sick, or just
needed a hug. You were
there when I faced diffi-
Spring, and “Morel
mania” has hit the area and
for the past two weeks I
have been seeing lots of
comments on Facebook
about those lucky people
finding grocery bags full of
mushrooms.
We were jealous because we usually find at
least some of those elusive,
delicious little fungi right
here in the yard – enough
for a meal or two anyway.
And Jack was out
looking for them, without
much luck at all. We even
perused the woods over
at Terry and Lisa’s on
Mother’s Day, thinking we
would find some there. No
luck unfortunately.
Then this week, they
suddenly decided to pop
up again and Jack, who is
excellent at spotting them,
found a bunch out in the
back yard.
After our little jaunt
on Sunday, Lisa must
have caught the bug too,
because when she saw
his find, she had to go out
looking for more – and she
did find three that he either
missed or that popped up
overnight.
Now we keep checking
for more every day, at least
when it isn’t raining…
One comment I noticed on Facebook had a
picture of a newborn fawn
someone had spied while
they were out mushroom
hunting.
So the babies are arriving again. They are so
adorable, that if you see
one, you might be tempted
to just pick it up and bring
it home.

cult decisions, and needed
advice. I didn’t always
take it but knowing that I
could turn to you meant a
lot. You never laughed at
me, or put me down, but
you encouraged me and
helped me to realize that
I could do whatever I put
my mind to.
I remember the day you
left us. I knew somehow
that you were gone before
I got the news from my
brother. I felt the vacuum
left from your departing.
I have a million things I
want to talk to you about.
A million questions I need
answered. a million things
I want to tell you and say
to you, that I just never
got around to saying. But
most of all I just want to
say I love you, and thank
you for being my Mama.
Happy mother’s day in
Heaven.
Do you know what
your kids are learning?
I would say that most
parents know “how” their
kids are doing related
grades, and the subjects
kids are studying. However it is more difficult as
parents to know “what”
specifically our kids are
learning. As a trained
teacher, I took my first
teaching job in 1992
teaching 7th grade science
and 8th grade math. At
that time, we did not have
Common Core or Michigan Merit Curriculum.
Lucky for me I had an
excellent student teaching
supervisor. Pam Packard,
was Vice President of
the Michigan Council of
Teachers of Mathematics,
and let me tell you, she
made sure that as her student teacher I knew ALL
of the State Standards for
math! My point being…
Pam was a great mentor
for me. She was my ticket
to doing what was right
for kids. Today, we have
many excellent and dedi-
cated teachers that KNOW
what is right and great for
kids. Each and every day
they are working to reach
and teach our children.
So, what is the concern?
This is my 22nd year in
education. I know many
with 30-40 years in the
profession. Over this time
span, I have seen MANY
changes to the curriculum
requirements. Some have
been positive and some
not so much, in my professional opinion. What
do I consider to be the
hallmarks of great teaching and learning…? All
students need to be great
readers, communicators,
problem solvers, team
players and need to value
people our planet and our
country! This is just basic.
In addition, they should be
excited to set goals, dream
and develop and practice
respect and a great work
ethic.
Having shared what I
think… I will add what
worries me. Schools are
required to do what is
dictated by the Michigan
Department of Education,
MDE, and the laws of the
State and Federal Governments. Lately these
three areas have not all
been on the same page.
MDE will want one thing
and the Legislators will
want another. Meanwhile, one or both might
be in conflict with the
Feds. While all of this
is happening, the school
sits in limbo. One of the
hot topics related to this
kind of issue is testing,
specifically MEAP. This
testing has been around
for years, even though it
has changed many times
in format etc. Presently,
MDE and the State Legislature are not in agreement
as to what the test should
be for next year. Meanwhile, school still goes on,
and we have no idea what
the test will be; yet we are
accountable. Teacher and
administrator evaluations
and student success all
depends on the outcome
of one test for which our
Letters
state leaders CANNOT
find consensus. Sure
makes for an uncomfortable feeling.
All of that being said,
at Clare Public Schools
we will “JUST TEACH
THE KIDS!” We have the
people and the programs
to prepare our students for
anything that the state decides! Look at all of our
successful graduates that
now live here in Clare and
all over the world! One
test did not determine their
lives, no sir. We all know
that whenever “they” get
this test decided we want
our Clare kids to knock it
out of the park! But until
they do… We will “JUST
TEACH THE KIDS!”
Like we always do!

and the hard thing to do

Promises were made - but they’re not being kept
Dear Editor:
It’s an “integrity” kinda
Friday…this really pisses
me off!!…promises were
made and are not being kept!!…we tell our
young (and not so young)
men and women that if
they will grab a rifle, leave
their families behind and
put themselves in harm’s
way we will take care of
any medical needs they
have because of their service…pretty simple deal;
not too difficult for even
the dimmest amongst us to
grasp…the trouble is, they
did their part –they kept up
their end of the deal – but
OUR bureaucrats are inept
or unwilling to make good
on the promise…maybe
you’ve seen in the news
that the VA Medical system
is under investigation…in
this instance people may
have died just because
they can’t get an appointment…
I will grant that it is not
all VA Centers, it is not all
VA employees, it is not all
VA cases…but it is enough
to qualify as a national disgrace…last fall we hosted
a golf outing to raise
funds for (among other
Vet needs) the Michigan
Patriot Guard…the few
thousand we raised wasn’t
enough to solve a problem
but it helped…you know
what the Michigan Patriot
Guard does with those
funds?...they buy prostheses for Vets that have
lost limbs; they bridge the
gap in a life that has been
torn apart by war until the
government decides to get
its ass in gear and live up
to its promise….
At the time of last
year’s golf outing the
average wait time to get
a replacement limb was
22 months!!...how would
you like to sit around on
a stump for 2 years while
some over paid bureaucrat
mulled over your need?...
and “We the People”
tolerate this BS!!...this is
Obama’s problem! This
is Bush’s problem!!...this
has been going on for well
over a decade; all of us in
groups like the American
Legion have been aware
for years…that’s why
we have golf outings,
benefits, bike runs and
whatever else we can think
to raise a buck to help…
we shouldn’t’ have to do
any of that!!...
We are proud to do it but
it should be unnecessary…
we pay our taxes and so
do you!! we do so in good
faith expecting our representatives to “keep the
faith” with those in need ...
in this area I give both
Presidents Bush & Obama
an “F”…if you read this
as political then you miss
the point and are tainted
beyond hope…this isn’t a
political rant, it is an embarrassed apology to our
troops for the shabby way
we treat them after they
have had our backs around
the world…”a promise
made is a debt unpaid”…
maybe that should be on
our currency instead of “e
pluribus Unum” – a statement suggesting that we
are all in this together…
I bet it doesn’t feel that
way to someone who sacrificed so much (and risked
it all) and is now treated
like another of our “throwaway” citizens…I love my
country!!...I just want us
all to keep our promises
made to those who stood
on the wall so we could
walk the streets in peace
and safety…we can ignore
this breech or we can fix it
– in the meantime many of
us will do what we can to
fill in the gap…the ducks
on pond make no creed
that they can’t live up to…
and Mother Parker sheds
a tear in her brew when
she sees those that need so
much and are getting so
little!!
PS –if you want to help,
we still have openings in
our 70th D-Day Anniversary Golf Outing on June
06; or sponsor a hole at
the outing for only $20…I
PROMISE that every dollar raised is spent on Vet
programs & needs!!

Golf Tips
Thom Slusher, PGA •
Clare County’s PGA Pro
ARMY GOLF
All of us have played
Army golf at some point. Left. Right. Left. Right. Our
tee shots take turns going to
opposite sides of the fairway. Let’s look at some fixes to this
common problem.
The first thing you should
consider when the drives are
crooked is hitting a 3 wood or
hybrid instead of the driver. The driver is fun to hit far
but is also the most difficult
club to control. The shorter,
more lofted clubs are easier to
control and hit in the fairway. You will have to decide
whether it is worth trading
some distance for accuracy. Check your setup. Are you
lined up properly or are your
feet and shoulders pointing
far to the right of where you
are aiming? Your feet, hips,
and shoulders should all be
parallel left to the target. Use
alignment rods or clubs on
the ground on the range to
help you aim and then carry
this fundamental over to the
course. Check your grip also. Setting your hands on the club
so that your V’s point to your
chin will lead to missing shots
to the right (right handers) or
over correcting and pulling
shots. The V’s created by the
gap between your thumb and
pointer finger should point
between your chin and right
shoulder. Swing in tempo. I see a
lot of quick swings early in
the season. The overly quick
swing can lead to blocked
shots to the right and hooks
left. Finding the right tempo
for you can be just as important as a great setup or perfect
mechanics. Army golf can be a very frustrating way to play. Start hitting fairways and
you will find the game becomes much more enjoyable.
scored the game winning

eighth on a wild pitch.
Lipovsky pitched well
in game two but didn’t get
any run support, giving up
just one run on two hits
and struck out 10 batters.
Toni Fletcher, Cullen
and Lipovsky had one hit
apiece for Harrison.

The Graphic Arts class
of the Career and Technical
Education (CTE) program
at the Clare-Gladwin
RESD was approached to
assist the Clare-Gladwin
Recovery Court with the
development of a logo for
use by the Court in promoting community awareness.
The students, taught by
Andrea Boettner, took on
the project and submitted
several individual designs.
The designs were reviewed
by the members of the Recovery Court team, which
includes judges, prosecutors, law enforcement, and
probation and treatment
staffs from both Clare and
Gladwin counties. The
design submitted by Ethan
Davis, a CTE student from
Coleman High School was
selected.
The design was presented to Judge Joshua
Farrell, the presiding judge
of the Recovery Court in a
ceremony in the 80th District Court at Harrison on
April 23. Ethan has entered
his design in a statewide
competition with the Michigan Industrial Education
Society (MITES).
The Graphic Arts program is one of nine CTE
programs offered through
the Clare-Gladwin Career
Center to students from
Beaverton, Clare, Farwell,
Gladwin, Harrison, and
Coleman High Schools.
The students learn about the

industries. They spend half
of their school day in the
CTE program and the other
half in their home high
school.
The Recovery Court,
which took its first participant in July of 2012, is
aimed at defendants who
have been charged with
substance abuse offenses
or which display substance
abuse as an underlying
factor in other offenses.
The four phase program is
designed to last eighteen to
twenty-four months. In the
first two phases, participants are required to attend
Recovery Court sessions
biweekly and to report to
their probation officer on
the “off” weeks; to submit
to frequent alcohol and
drug testing; to attend at
12-step meetings and substance abuse counseling,
to complete community
service. Requirements in
the last two phases may
be reduced by the Court.
Prior to graduation, all
fines and costs, including a separate Recovery
Court fee must be paid.
Currently the Court has
over twenty participants at
various phases in the two
counties.
The Court has been
funded thus far by State
Court Administrative
Office grants for startup,
implementation and continuation. In addition to
the grant funds, both Clare
and Gladwin counties
have contributed funds to
supplement the Court.

$7300 raised for BBBS
Mid-Michigan Big
Brothers Big Sisters Bowl
for Kids Sake
This year’s Bowl for
Kids Sake was a Clare vs.
Gladwin County Challenge
to see which county could
raise the most dollars and it
was a success!
Over $7300 was raised
at Clare Gateway Lanes
and Gladwin Meadowlanes.
It was a lot of fun and it
is all about the kids. Even
two teams of students from
the high school bowling
teams sponsored by Superior Title and Christy Van
Tiem from Gladwin, came
to bowl in the event. While
Clare County won the competition between the counties because they raised
the most dollars, the real
winners are the children in
our local communities that
are able to benefit from a
Big Brother or Big Sister.
All funds raised here, stay
within the two counties of
Clare and Gladwin to serve
our local children.

Career Center names Prosecutors Office ‘Placement of Year’
On Friday May 9,
2014, the Clare Gladwin
Career Center held its
annual end of the year
awards assembly. Typically this is when students
are awarded for their
accomplishments over the
past school year. However, this year the Career
Center added a new
award.
During the past few
years, the Career Center
has been attempting to
improve the students’
learning by finding them
job placements. This allows the students to take
what they have learned in
the classroom and transform that into a hands
on experience in a local
business.
“We have been really
lucky to have a few different businesses allow
our students come in and
work for them the past
couple of years,” commented DJ Newman,
Career Center Placement
Coordinator. “Not only
is it a great experience
for our students to get
hands on learning, we are
hoping to get these local
businesses people that
they can hire from these
placement experiences.”
This year, the Career
Center decided to give
back to the local businesses by selecting a business as “Placement of the
Year.” This year’s recipient was the Clare County
Prosecutor’s Office.
The Career Center has
been attempting to get
local placements for the
criminal justice students
for several years. A few
years ago, Clare County
Prosecutor, Michelle Ambrozaitis, was approached
about taking on select
students that wanted to go
into the field and about
the opportunity to job
shadow around her department. “Michelle and
her staff have been great
for our students. They
have really worked with
our students by showing
them what is required of
them, allowing them to
participate and work in
their office, and giving
them great career advice,
“ said DJ Newman.
The following businesses accepted students
for the 9 programs that we
offer.

Farwell High School
May is an important month for all of us at Witbeck’s because our employees are celebrating their
graduation from Clare Home School (JCLH), Farwell High School and Harrison High School.
These young people, who have just completed the major part of their education, indicate our
confidence in the future. While working as part of our growing family, they have proven to us that
the “now generation” is indeed up and coming. People like them we can depend on, and of whom
we are justly proud.
We wish Alex, McKenzie and Chazlyn the very best. At the same time we are welcome to new employees who are following in their footsteps to fill vital part-time jobs at Witbeck’s Family Foods.

Quincy Jones - Salutatorian
Quincy Dennis Jones has been named as Salutatorian for
the graduating class of 2014, at Harrison High School. He is
the son of Cindy (Cid) Jones and the late Floyd Dennis. He
has two half-brothers, Andy Jones and Andy Dennis, as well
as, a half-sister, Christine Dennis-Lindblom.
Throughout his high school career, he has shown diligent
dedication to academics. There are several treasured relationships, as a result of working closely with his teachers,
not to mention the fun that will always be remembered.
During his four years of high school, he was a varsity bowling team member each year and has received many awards,
including Jack Pine 1st Team All-Conference two times, as
well as, being inducted into the Hall of Fame at Harrison
High School.
He has contributed to his community doing Adopt-AHighway for Brown Corner’s UB Church, since he was 12
years old. He has been a part of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life several years and has volunteered to serve
Christmas dinner at the local Moose Lodge.
During his high school career, he has been chosen as
student of the month, received academic letters 3 years in a
row, and is graduating with highest honors for his class of
2014.
After graduation Quincy’s plans are to attend MidMichigan Community College and work towards a business
degree in the financial side of the career choices. He has an
appreciation for MMCC because the Clare-Gladwin RESD
and Harrison Community Schools has made it possible for
Quincy to be a Middle College student for 2 years. He will
have benefited from 8 college classes when he graduates
from high school, because of this much appreciated opportunity.
Quincy would like to give a big thanks to his family,
friends, classmates, teachers and other staff in the school
system. They have devoted much time and effort to his
success. His church family also deserves gratitude for all
of their support and kindness throughout the years. They
have been a huge piece of his life puzzle and he will always
remember these special people throughout his life.

LEGACY OF LIES, the
second book in the series
will be available, soon followed by STORYTELLER.
Ms. Leppert also
brought the four books of
her Outcast Series, written
years earlier. They tell the
story of Sarah Elizabeth
Justus, a pioneer woman
who longs for a life of adventure. Raised to believe
her father’s teachings that
all Indians are savages,
she meets a Lakota brave
and soon discovers she
must make a decision, a
decision that will teach
her the incalculable price
of passion and the immeasurable value of love. It
is a hauntingly beautiful
story of hope and love, loss
and strength, choices and
miracles, and the courage it
takes to follow your heart.
The Harrison District
Library has all four books
available for check out.
Books 5 and 6 are coming
soon.
To book a signing or to
