Commissioners extend state of emergency

COVID cases increase by five in Osceola

All but one road project completed

Budget a priority for BOC

By John RaffelCorrespondent

MARION — The Osceola County Board of Com-missioners, at Tuesday’s meeting, voted to extend the Osceola County Local State of Emergency for COVID-19 response and recovery to Oct. 6, 2020, or until emergency conditions secede.

“We’ve been extending it along with the governor’s declarations,” commission chairman Jack Nehmer of Marion, said. “As long as she continues to have executive orders, we’ll continue to

move along and try to parallel with what her wishes are.”

The commission ap-proved the Probate/Family Court Child Care Fund fiscal year 20-21 Grant Award as presented.

“That’s a standard thing we do every year,” Nehmer said.

The board approved the Indigent Defense Assigned Counsel Administrator Inde-pendent Contractor Agree-ment as presented.

“That was a thing we got into two years ago,” Nehmer said. “That indigent fund is so that with defense lawyers, everybody gets paid equally.

This way, everybody is on the same playing field no matter who defends who. That way, you’re not paying one person twice as much as you do for another person who does the same thing.”

The commission approved the purchase of a 2013 Dodge Caravan with wheel chair ac-commodation for $14,995 for the Commission on Aging De-partment utilizing grant funds of $11,000 and the remainder from the 280 COA Fund.

“This, I believe, will hold 11 people, plus one in a wheel chair,” Nehmer said.


HERSEY – Luke D. Houl-ton, manager of the Osceola County Road commission, reports on the impressive progress being made on 2020 road projects.

“With the exception of our crush, shape and pave project with Rose Lake Township on LeRoy Road between 180th Avenue and Penesal Road, all of our planned road projects are now essentially com-

plete,” Houlton said earlier this week. “Our chip and fog seal contractor finished up work the first week of August and we completed paving of 180th Avenue between Me-ceola and 2 Mile Road with Hersey Township a couple weeks ago.

“The pavement marking crew also finished up painting centerline and edgelines a couple weeks ago.”

Houlton said the commis-sion’s LeRoy Road project with Rose Lake Township is

set to start next Tuesday.“The project will involve

trenching out a couple feet of the existing gravel shoulder to allow for a wider pavement surface,” he said. “The road will then be crushed, reshaped and paved. The road will be closed to traffic during the construction with thru traffic being detoured around to the south using 15 Mile Road.

“The entire project is scheduled to be complete and reopened to normal traffic by Oct. 16.”


MARION – After Tues-day’s Board of Commission-ers meeting, chairman Jack Nehmer of Marion predicted a busy agenda for the next meeting.

“I’m pretty sure the next two meetings, Sept. 15 and Oct. 6, will be more involved than what we’ve had lately,”

Nehmer said. The main thing will be

approving the next budget, which will go from Jan. 2021 through Dec. 2021.

“The department heads have already submitted their budgets,” Nehmer said. “We just need to review those and see if there’s anything we haven’t allowed for and see if we can get those in line. At this point in time, we’re wait-ing to review the budget and get everything set in place.”

At Tuesday’s meeting the commission voted to schedule a public hearing for the Com-munity Development Block Grant CARES Funding.

“That’s something we

agreed we would do but we haven’t set a time yet,” Nehmer said. “It’s something that can’t be done or we can move further on without hav-ing a hearing.”

The board continued the Housing Program for the 2020/2021 program year.

“Anytime when we get funding for that, we reach a point in time when we get it we have to use it or give it back,” Nehmer said. “We want to continue to use the housing program for the constituents of the county so if there someone who needs help we have the money to use it would be ridiculous to give it back.”


MARION – The number of COVID 19 cases in Osceola County as of this week, ac-cording to state officials, is 79, up five from last week.

There are still no deaths reported.

Osceola County was at 57 COVID-19 cases as of July 22 with no deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

As of May 28, the number of confirmed cases in Osceola County was 11 as compiled

since mid-March when records were being kept of the pandemic. As the Stay-at-Home order was lifted and businesses and other places were reopened, the number has been climbing. It was up to 12 on June 4, rose to 13 on June 11, to 18 on June 18, to 20 on June 25, to 24 on July 2, and skyrocketed to 42 on July 9, a few days after the Fourth of July holiday.

The hardest hit area remains Wayne County with 32,508 cases and 2,891 deaths. Oakland County has 18,247 cases and 1,165

deaths. Macomb County has 13,179 cases and 984 deaths.

In neighboring counties, the numbers are at 49 cases and one death for Missaukee County; 103 cases and four deaths for Clare County; 92 cases and two deaths in Me-costa County; 530 cases and 10 deaths in Isabella County and 79 cases and two deaths in Gladwin County.

Entering this week, Michigan has 115,000 total cases and 6,783 deaths. It’s 6,130,000 cases in the United States and 186,000 deaths.

FacesFaces in the Crowd:in the Crowd:Carl and Diane NowlandCarl and Diane Nowland By Aaron MichellBy Aaron Michell

Carl and Diane Nowland have been fixtures in the Marion community for over the last thirty years.

Married in ’89, the couple raised their three daughters – Lisa, Jennifer, and Ashley – from their homestead on 17 Mile Road. Their home lies just across the road from where Carl grew up – along with his 14 siblings.

The son of Ed and Carmo-neta Nowland, Carl has spent much of his life in the trees – literally. Working with Trees Inc. since 2008 – and being in the business since 1987, Carl’s traveled the state and country clearing trees, and cleaning up electrical lines.

And according to Carl, he married his exact opposite. While he prefers to stay rela-tively quiet from behind the scenes, Diane, the daughter of Roy and Shirley Helmka, is always out-and-about.

Though Diane doesn’t have an official title, some might call her the “Commu-nity Fundraiser”, or “Com-munity Service Chairperson”, or perhaps the “Liaison for Giving Back.”

Because that’s what she’s dedicated her life to. She cur-rently helps run the Marion Friends of the Library, the Marion Chamber of Com-merce, the Lux Assocation, Grub to Go, and Friday Night Softball.

She works books and con-cessions at Marion sporting events. Over the years, she’s been an active member of the Marion PTO, the Marion Athletic Boosters, and the Marion Little League. She helps with Snowfest, Marion Old Fashioned Days, and wherever else help is needed. It’s just who she is. When help is needed, she’s there.

But the most important thing in the world, for both Carl and Diane, is family.

Their siblings helped make them who they are. Their daughters are their pride and joy. Their grandbabies – El-lianne, Kamrynn, Maley, and Baby Thompson (due in No-vember) are their obsession. And their sons-in-law – Caleb (Lisa) Thompson, and Kody (Jennifer) Cooper – are pretty darn cool as well.

We caught up with Carl and Diane recently, where we learned all about their story. We learned that these two are more than just a couple of faces in the crowd.

Marion Press: Carl, where

were you born and raised? Carl: Right here. Right

across the road. MP: And what was life

like, growing up in the Nowl-and family?

Carl: Outstanding. Always had friends, and brothers and

sisters in the neighborhood getting together. Everybody hung out at Ma’s – there was always a ball game going on. Always something. You were never lonely with that clan. [It was] whatever adventure we could find at the time. There was always something going on, whether it was playing softball in the field; playing football in the field. The older we got, racing cars through the junkyard – all kinds of stuff. Hay wagon races around the neighbor-hood. That was probably the most fun I’d ever had in my life – racing the cars with the hay wagons – that was easily the most fun adventure we had.

MP: And Diane, where were you born and raised?

Diane: I was born in Owosso, and when I turned two, my dad married Eileen – Jamie’s mom, and moved to Harrison. [Jamie from Chuck’s Corner; Diane’s mom, Shirley, passed away shortly after Diane was born].

MP: What kept you busy? Diane: I did track my soph-

omore, junior, and senior year. My junior year I did softball. I did a lot of drama classes. My parents bought Chuck’s in 1982, and I worked there until ’89. After we got married, I worked there on and off.

MP: Tell us about the Nowland family.

Carl: Three daughters. All athletic, sports oriented. All three have different personali-ties. Basically, they’re all the reason we do what we do. Everything is family oriented – whether it’s brothers or sisters, or our offspring.

MP: Tell us about Trees Inc. – what do you enjoy the most about your job?

Carl: The people. Being outside, and the people that I’ve come across. Friends and employees, they really make the job fun.

MP: Where do you work? Carl: All over Michigan.

All over the country. We respond to hurricane damage. When I was younger, I was pretty good at what I did so I got to travel around teaching, and climbing, all over. I’ve been to Oregon, California, New Mexico, Arizona. And with the storms, all over the south.

MP: With it being kind of a dangerous job, do you ever get nervous?

Carl: It’s gotten 100% safer than when I first started. The lines are a lot more de-cent; there are a lot more rules in place to protect people.

There have been situations where you climb the tree, and point blank, I get up in the tree, and I look at it, and say a little prayer to the good Lord, and it’s always the same one:

“Watch over me, protect the family, and protect the kids.” And then I go to work. It’s a wonderful thing.

MP: Diane, what possesses you to give so much back to the community?

Diane: I love my commu-nity. I don’t live in town, but there are people out there who need help, and if I can help them, I love it. I love helping. I’ve always helped, even at Chuck’s – I worked for free pretty much! My dad put it in my head that you always help people, no matter what.

MP: What do you two en-joy doing in your free time?

Carl: What free time?! My favorite pastimes now are watching the grandkids, and watching the girls play [sports]. That’s about it. And hunting – always hunting.

MP: What do you enjoy the most about the commu-nity? Why have you stayed here?

Carl: It goes back to grow-ing up: I had some excep-tional teachers and coaches that really put me on the right track. And my parents, and family all lived right here in the area, so it was always good. I remember what it was like growing up with the people, the businesses, all getting involved and coming together. I just like that. The people have gotten older, but they’re still here. At times, we grow apart, and we’ll holler and scream and that, but when there’s a real need, you’ll see that people still care. They’re still here.

Diane: My family wasn’t as close as the Nowland’s, but my parents always worked, and they always gave back to the community of Har-rison. They always said that you’ve gotta help back; help those who’ve helped you first. I truly think that – and I’ve worked at the school, and there are a lot of teachers who are in their students’ lives – there are a lot of cool, and nice people, and they’re always helping out. If I can help out, I will. That’s what I’m about: Family, and com-munity.

MP: What’s the best advice you’ve been given?

Carl: Find something you enjoy, get good at it, and en-joy life. A motto I heard one time: Life is easy – people make it hard. You’ve got a thousand people in the world, and you’ll remember the one jerk – you won’t remember the 999 people who were good to you.

Diane: Treat people how you’d like to be treated. Life’s too short. And if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it.

Matt Leave it alone and quit

asking questions that are meant to divide us further as a nation!!

Angelina Matt it’s called discussion.

You don’t have to participate.

Jackie Our nation was founded

under God principles, so leave it in. And to all who want it out, that won’t negate the fact that everything is under God.

Kristina Self Jackie no it was

founded with a clear delinea-tion between government and religion. The phrase “under god” was only plastered on things due to McCarthy and the red scare.

Starr Take it out. Not everyone

believes in God and whether y’all like it or not this was not a country found under God but rather a free nation with the FREEDOM OF RELI-GION OR LACK THERE OF

Becky Does not make a difference

to me either way. But why would you even ask this ques-tion. No one is changing it.

Delete, hide or report this

Dee All I can say is if you keep

taking things like this away you are giving control to oth-ers. If we can’t say under God or Merry Christmas without someone being offended then why do others get to wear cloths covering them. They don’t need them. It’s part of their beliefs so under God is our belief. You see you can’t get rid of these things without getting rid of all freedoms. It’s starting to feel like a communist country. No one should have to give up any-thing. Leave everything alone. This country is about freedom

of speech as well. Don’t condemn others for 5heir speaking out!. Rant over!

Cathy I believe it should be left

in. I also believe you have the right to remain silent during “under God” just as I have the right to keep saying “under God” if it is taken out.

Bambi Take it out or leave it in...

The creator has many names. If you don’t want to say it, don’t.

Sue Really?? This is the pledge

to our country, don’t like it? Leave.

Gene Although I myself don’t

care either way, I do believe the phrase is relevant to the majority of Americans and should be left in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Cory No - it should be taken

out! So it can be the way it was before WWII. God has no business in government. This country has the freedom of religion and the freedom from it.

Nicole Marie It’s really crazy to

me how many people believe that our country was built on religion when in fact it was built to separate church and government..An overwhelm-ing amount of people are unaware that “under God” was added.. ignorance is everywhere ??

Tammy Yes, absolutely! And I’m

not even religious...

Kristina It was added during Mc-

Carthy ism and the red scare. It should not have been added in the first place and I see no

problem with reverting to the original wording.

Jennifer I think it should be the

original, without and include everyone who lives in this country.

Kelley It’s a yes and why take it

out for who? What will that accomplish? Nothing

Chelsea People need to leave things

as they are. I’m not very religious but this is something that should not change

Heidi We need to go back to the

original pledge.

Gary Yes leave the phrase in.

Angelina No, because not everyone

is religious and our country was not founded as a Chris-tian nation.

Donna Yes! Should remain!

Anita Most definitely it should

be left in

Christina It doesn’t specify what

or who’s god so why does it matter

Shelly ABSOLUTELY, why is

this even a question being asked

Gail Absolutely leave it there !

Rebecca Yes it should stay in it!!!

Dont see what has hap-pened to our country because people are taking God out of everything!! Needs put back in schools also!!!

Cass “I don’t want to do that

because of my religion” VS “YOU can’t do that because of MY religion” see the problem here? so the answer is NO - it should not say one nation under god anymore than it should say one nation under gods or one nation un-der atheism. Separate church and state. Acknowledge and respect diversity.

Anna YES, Absolutely leave it

alone. If you don’t believe in God that’s your Choice, God created this land like it or not.

Lisa Marie Maybe Not everyone

believes in your god, and it’s pretty self-righteous of you to demand they do.

Anna Maybe I’m pretty sure that

I said it’s your choice I didn’t demand anything

Cory Your god created nothing.

Creationism is part of your religious beliefs. It is not fact. Fact is gravity pulled gases and dust together to create the plant earth. There is a more scientific name for it but that is what happened.

Anna I’ll be praying for you.

Lisa Marie Maybe Anna then it should

be inclusive to EVERY religion, not just Christian-ity. Your religion is NOT the default.

Zach YES! This country needs

God in it, that’s why it’s gone down the drain because people have taken him out of everything!

Tressa Yes! It was put there for

a reason and that reason still

Karen Why would you ask such a

question!! Of course if should stay in????????????????????

Donna I guess they should take

out the first amendment too...you know it might offend someone.. Heaven forbid someone carry a different opinion than them! Why should we continue to change everything because people get offended if you tell them the grass is green..

Karen Wasn’t added to the pledge

until 1954. One earlier ver-sion that I remember is ...... “1924 to 1954[3]

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one na-tion, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Janet I’m torn. It wasn’t in there

originally (added in the 50’s) so that makes me want to say no. It’s always been there dur-ing my lifetime so that makes me want to say yes but I don’t think people should be forced to say it or to be judged if

they don’t.

LisaUnfortunately we ARE

NOT ONE NATION at this point . . . Very sad America very sad....

HillaryYes why change it its been

like that forever. If it don’t need fixing dont fix it let it be!! If you want it changed try living in another country since you must not like what our country is and always has been thats our National anthem LET IT BE!!

JerryOutdated. Take it out

Kristina Self Jerry only added

thanks to people being scared of being labeled a communist following WWII so it would be reverting to original word-ing.

Joshua It’s fun seeing all these

people who loathe Social-ism defending their oath, which in itself is very much Socialist—only Socialists and Communists (and apparently Republicans) pledge undying loyalty to the state above all else.

A Beal City pilot es-caped injury after his plane made a crash landing in a soybean field near Shaffer and Lewis Roads in Mid-land County Tuesday.

Troopers from the Michigan State Police Tri-City Post were dispatched to the crash scene around

11:30 a.m. September 1.The pilot, a 70-year-old

man, reported that he was flying at approximately 1,000 feet when the engine quit. He said that after attempts to restart the engine of the privately owned, four seat plane failed, he decided to make an emergency landing in the field. The plane flipped over onto its top, but the

pilot, whose name was not released, was uninjured, a release from Sgt. Joseph Rowley, of the Tri-City Michigan State Police Post said.

The release said the Federal Aviation Adminis-tration was notified and is investigating the cause of the engine failure.


Clare County His-torical Society member Jon Ringelberg announced the culmination of his three-year project to document and display past Clare County officials this week.

He presented displays of Clare County Sheriffs, past Treasurers, and former Drain Commissioners, which will be hung in the respective county offices.

Ringelberg said, “A dis-play is ready to go for the surveyors and that display will be at the Lapham office since they really do not have an [surveyor’s] office in Harrison at the Court-house.”

The displays all docu-ment available photographs of all elected County offi-cials since March 16, 1871, when Clare County was organized by the Michigan Legislature.

Ringelberg said he has been working on the project with some help from others including Sheriff John Wil-son and Robert Knapp.

He said, “The goal was to complete the project in

time for the sesquicenten-nial of Clare County, a history of 150 years, [which is next year] in 2021.” He said, “Clare County will be 150 years old (as will be the Village/City of Clare -- both legally) as of March 16, 2021.”

“I am pretty glad to finally get to an end of this project,” he said. “Hope-fully family members or family descendants of the missing, and/or poor quality photographs will provide better pictures to add to and improve the project.”

He said that despite the enormous amount of time he has spent gathering photos and information of past public officials, there are still quite a few missing and poor-quality photos including:

*Seven missing and three poor photos of Clerks and Registers;

*Nine missing and four poor quality photos of Drain Commissioners;

*Seven missing photos of past Sheriffs and 11 pic-tures that are poor quality;

*Four missing of Sur-veyors and four photos that are poor;

*Five missing pictures of Treasurers and eight poor photos;

*Three missing pictures of Probate Judges; and

*Two missing pictures of Prosecutors and seven that are poor quality.

Ringelberg is still look-ing for pictures of the fol-lowing officials:

Probate Judges: Elijah D. Wheaton 1873, 1881; George W. Jefferies 1877; and Frank McLellan 1893.

Prosecutors: Elijah D. Wheaton 1874; and Charles C. Casterlain 1879.

Better quality pictures are sought for: Joseph F. Bowler 1910; T. Carl Holbrook 1924; Theo G. Bowler 1932; Joseph K. Naumes 1942; Donald E. Holbrook, SR. 1936 era*; Alex T. Strange 1963 era*; and Jay F. Trucks 1965 era*.

Clerks and Registers: A.A. St.John 1871; W.H. Graves 1873; Charles C. Casterlain 1873,1875; Wm. E. Aldrich 1885; George W. Stone 1889; John H. Richmond 1891; and Junius Ross 1893.

Better pictures are needed for Andrew E. Mack

Amish Auction set for this weekendIf crafts and quilts are

your thing, Amish quilts and crafts are known for quality and beautiful work all over the United States, and Clare is also the home of one of the largest con-signment sales in the state and a semiannual quilt auc-tion on the Yoder farm just four miles east of Clare.

The Labor Day event will be held today and to-morrow, September 4th and 5th. The flea Market times are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and the auctions start at 9 a.m. The address is 10885 N. Leaton Road, Clare.

From a simple start by John Henry Yoder with a sale that featured about 30 booths and a dozen handmade Amish quilts many year ago, the event

has grown to a huge craft show, flea market and Quilt Auction that is the biggest in the Midwest and brings thousands of visitors to the area.

The Yoders and their friends hold the large quilt auction and craft show each spring and late summer on Labor Day weekend. Due to the COVID-19 con-cerns, Simon and Barbara Yoder cancelled the May 15 & 16, 2020 event, so this weekend will be even big-ger and better.

Imagine farm fields transformed with rows of crafters, antiques and flea marketers - hundreds of vendors in all! In addi-tion to the Amish crafted furniture, quilts and goods, one may purchase an array

of arts and crafts items, discounted tools, jewelry, cutlery, jams and plants to name just a few. A number of concession stands and several food specialty tents, featuring baked goods and cheese, are hosted by the Amish women. Parking is best downtown Clare with shuttle services running to and from the auction site on a regular basis.

The shuttle busses will be busy. These days there are hundreds of booths, more than one person can visit in a long day. Hand-made Amish quilts and others from all over the United States are also auc-tioned off. The event brings 20,000 visitors or more to Clare each time it is held.

Aimee Ramey, 43 of Rosebush is in jail on a $5,000 cash/surety bond after she was arrested in connection with a domestic assault in Rosebush August 29th.

Troopers from the Michi-gan State Police Mt. Pleasant Post were dispatched to a

residence there around 6:19 p.m. according to a MSP release.

When troopers arrived, they found Ramey outside. She was allegedly uncoop-erative, highly intoxicated and had just assaulted family members, the release said.

She was placed under arrest for felony domes-tic violence, resisting and obstructing police and for

an outstanding warrant. She was lodged in the Isabella County Jail.

Ramey was arraigned on Monday in Isabella County Trial Court and charged with two counts of police officer – resist and obstruct; two counts of domestic violence second offense; and one count of operating while under the influence.


Michigan State Police Troopers arrested an 18-year-old Mt. Pleasant woman and a 14-year-old juvenile from Maple Rapids in connection with the malicious destruc-tion of property Monday in Isabella County’s Union Township.

Troopers began an investigation after a local townhome complex was damaged with “vulgar graf-fiti” that was painted on the side of building and on some vehicles. Troopers also found that a local liquor store had also been broken into and about $3,500 in merchandise stolen from the store.

Troopers obtained a

search warrant on a residence where they recovered stolen merchandise and arrested the woman and teen. The teen was turned over to his parents and the woman was lodged in the Isabella County Jail pending an arraignment.

Troopers were assisted by Mt. Pleasant Police and the Isabella County Sheriff’s Office.

The pole barn fire reported on the front page in last week’s issue of the Review listed the correct address, but due to an unclear phone connection,

the wrong location. The article said the fire was on the corner of Beaverton and Grant Roads. It should have said the fire was at 7901 Beaverton Road “on

the corner of Beaverton and Brand Roads.”

We apologize for the error.


The first of September brought small changes in COVID-19 totals to five of the six counties in the Central Michigan District Health Department, but in Isabella County the numbers have been climbing since Central Michigan University Students began arriving back for the fall semester and attending parties.

Tuesday’s COVID-19 total for Isabella County went up another 22 cases, the Morning Sun’s Eric Baerren reported Wednesday.

They said the CMDHD said Tuesday afternoon that the total number of cases related to the return of CMU students had increased to 205 (190 confirmed and 15 prob-able cases of the virus).

Central Michigan Uni-versity announced 130 cases since early August in the “university community,” and 122 cases since students began returning around Au-gust 10. That is the date that Isabella County cases went over 200.

About 15,000 people make up the CMU community, the Sun said. Students are protesting CMU’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the third week of Au-gust, there was a 350 percent increase in cases compared to the previous week. Ninety-two percent of those cases were in the 18 to 24-year age group.

In an effort to curb the out-break in cases, the CMDHD issued a public health emer-gency order August 24th, limiting social gatherings and events to no more than 25.

Deaths from the virus, however remain low in all of the CMDHD counties, with the highest in Isabella County at nine recorded COVID deaths. They now have a total of 453 total cases and 157 recovered as of the first of September.

In Clare County, although the number of cases is the second highest in the district at 92, there are only four deaths from the virus and 52 cases have recovered.

Gladwin is third in the number of cases with 71, but only second in the number of

deaths with 2 recorded. The recoveries there number 51.

Next is Osceola with 70 cases and 58 recoveries, but the county has no recorded deaths as of Tuesday.

Roscommon County has 59 cases, four deaths and 39 recoveries.

Arenac County has a total of 53 cases as of the first of the month, the least in the six counties, with three deaths and 26 recoveries.

Surrounding counties had similar numbers. As of Tues-day, Missaukee had 47 cases and one death; Mecosta had 92 cases and two deaths; and Midland had 425 cases with 11 deaths, the only county in the double digits in the area.

Michigan had 103,186 confirmed cases on the first of the month with 10,634 prob-able (those with symptoms but without a positive test as yet) for a total of 113,820 total, an increase of 5,339 in the past seven days according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Ser-vices data. Statewide deaths numbered 6,767 Tuesday.

This summer, Mid Michigan College’s Board of Trustees adopted an initiative to invite residents of the Gra-tiot-Isabella RESD to join its service district. Recently, the State Superintendent formally approved this action, allow-ing Mid Michigan College to present two ballot proposals in November 2020 for voters in the Gratiot-Isabella RESD (GI-RESD).

Proposal I asks voters to determine whether they approve annexation into Mid Michigan College’s district, and Proposal II seeks ratification of a taxable rate of 1.2232 mills (the College’s current operating millage rate).

If both proposals pass, they would lead to the effec-tive annexation of this area to the Mid Michigan College district.

What does annexation to Mid Michigan College’s District mean?

Currently, Mid’s in-district service area is exclusive to the Clare-Gladwin RESD. The College receives tax dollars from these residents at a rate of 1.2232 mills, the sec-ond-lowest rate in the State.

Though the College has had an established campus in Mt. Pleasant for over 20 years and serves more students from Isabella and Gratiot counties than from in-district areas, property owners and residents in the GI-RESD are not in Mid Michigan College’s district. Passage of these ballot measures would change that.

If voters adopt both an-nexation proposals, a home with an assessed taxable

MMC proposals approved for November ballot

value of $50,000 (true market value of $100,000) would pay slightly more than $60 a year in property taxes and residents would pay 40% less in tuition costs than they are currently.

What does annexation do for Gratiot-Isabella RESD residents?

Tuition would be lowered by 40% for students living in the GI-RESD from $220/con-tact hour to $132/contact hour as a result of joining Mid’s district (based on 2020-2021 tuition rates. Students taking 30 contact hours a year would pay $2,640 less than they are currently.

At the College’s current

enrollment rates, this change would collectively save GI-RESD residents about $1.5 Million each year.

Additionally, residents in the GI-RESD would be eli-gible to participate in future elections of Mid’s Board of Trustees.

Mid’s Service and ImpactIn the 2020 Academic

Year, 39% of Mid’s stu-dents resided in Isabella and Gratiot Counties. Enrollment of Clare-Gladwin County residents was 24%. Likewise, substantially more students attend classes at the Col-lege’s Mt. Pleasant campus than its in-district location in Harrison.

Settling in at a new place

Cooking & RecipesWhat’s Cooking?

We are now officially residents of Stevenson Lake Road – at least until our new home is built and delivered – then we will be residents of Whiteville Road for the foreseeable future.

Right now, we are in limbo and living with fam-ily for the next few weeks until the next move into our ‘forever home” as they say.

It has been strange, but we are adjusting, although my vehicle still wants to head down those old famil-iar roads. In fact, as I was going east out of town to set up an appointment with my favorite hairdresser Barb, I must have been daydream-ing because that car just turned left at the corner on Clarabella Road and was headed for Washington Road before I realized it and turned around…I felt a bit silly when I realized what I had done though.

Thirty-five-year-old hab-its die hard, I guess. These days heading home means south on Old 27 and west on Stevenson Lake. The trip to town is exactly twice as far as it used to be…seven miles instead of three and a half.

The past week and a half has been a bit difficult though. Besides adjusting to a new “temporary” home and finding places for some of our “stuff,” we have had to connect my laptop and printer to a new “jet pack” for internet access and I had to learn how to use it (at my age this may take a while).

I say we because I am so inept at all this that Jack (with Lisa’s help) had to handle all of the set up. In the process of all this some-how, I lost my Facebook access and of course it took two days, a phone call and a couple of emails to get that working again…

Now everything is up and running and I have my fingers crossed that it stays that way.

The move over here wasn’t a very smooth one. I lost a few things in the process. The drawer base for the guest room bed was in pieces when they arrived with it at the storage facil-ity.

Two huge jade plants, given to me many years ago by Ed White when he closed White’s Nursery, were also a couple of the casualties of the move as was a huge snake plant. The jade plants were so old and heavy when Jack tried to move them, they fell apart. The stems, each with a base the size of an apple around, had rotted on the inside over the years. The snake plant was even older, given to me around 1980 by my former secretary Anna. It had survived two moves. The third time was its downfall. It was so top heavy that it fell apart when we tried to repot it for the move. I did save a piece of the jade plant and it is pres-ently resting in my hanging flower on Lisa’s porch and going with us to the new home.

I never did have a “green” thumb, so I was proud to have keep those three plants alive for so many years, but I don’t think we would have had room for them in the new home anyway, since it will be about half the size of the old place on the Tobacco. We are losing four rooms, that were, of course, filled with all kinds of stuff, some now gone, some sold or to be sold and some to be “squeezed” into the new place which is just over 1,000 square feet (the old house had 2.200…)

This should be interest-ing.

As of last Friday, the new place is on order and now it is a waiting game for us. We need the time though as there’s a lot of site work that has to be done on the new property before they can set the new mobile. I never realized how much work there is just to get ready for the delivery.

So I guess it will be a busy fall for the Maurer clan until we are finally settled in sometime in Oc-tober we are hoping. After that it will be planting some trees and planning out the landscaping for next spring…

It could be called the tale of two states. In the states where I own newspapers- Alabama and Michigan, high school sports are treated very differently in the age of COVID.

In Alabama, all fall sports including football are in full operational mode. The schools my newspaper covers have already played two football games, four volleyball matches and numerous other sports are in full swing.

In Michigan, only cross country, tennis and outside swimming have been al-lowed to start. Football, even though teams have been practicing for several weeks, has been grounded. The powers that be- mostly Governor Whitmer and MHSAA, have told aspiring athletes they can’t play this year.

We all know the logic behind the decision. It is more important to protect our students from COVID, than it is for football or other sports to proceed, at least according to the deci-sion makers. Science, they say, tells them that the close contact of football, even though players are covered from head to toe with pro-tective gear, is an invitation for COVID to spread.

I humbly disagree and stand with the hundreds of players and parents who protested the decision on Lansing’s State Capitol steps this past Sunday. All fall high school sports,

whether it be cross coun-try, where runners travel in close contact on a bus to their meet destination, or football where student-athletes have been work-ing out and practicing for some time without any real COVID spread, ought to be allowed.

If Alabama and other states can play fall sports safely then so can Michi-gan. COVID lately has hit Alabama residents in great-er numbers than Michigan. Although our leaders don’t necessarily like to share numbers, I venture to say the pandemic is very much on the downswing, and has been, in Michigan for several weeks.

I’m wondering if our leaders have taken in to consideration, what the thousands of Michigan high school football players will do if they can’t play football. Some of the bet-ter players will transfer to Indiana or Ohio. Some will become so distraught that they will turn to drugs and alcohol.

In addition, there are now a whole bunch of pri-vate 7-man football teams being started by entrepre-neurs looking to cash in and offer athletes an opportu-nity to play the sport they love. These leagues do not provide the supervision or training that high schools would. I dare say, these teams are far more suscep-tible to the pandemic, than high school teams.

As a 10 letter athlete in high school I know what sports did for me. It shaped me as an individual. It made me tough mentally and nurtured my “never quit” attitude. More importantly it kept me out of trouble. I was too busy practicing to turn to alcohol, drugs or crime. I think many other athletes can say the same.

Whether we like it or not, COVID is here with us for awhile, if not always. We cannot continue to be told we can’t go to church, we can’t open up fitness centers, and we can’t play high school sports. There are risks in life for us all, and there is no way we can eradicate all those risks. Fortunately for those teens that play high school sports, COVID, with the exception of a few, does not cause grave illness.

Let them play. The socio-economic consequences of not doing so, will be far worse than anything the pandemic can cause. It’s time to admit you made a mistake Governor and MHSAA. Reverse your de-cision and allow fall sports to proceed.

Dear Editor,We want to say how

much we enjoyed the article and great pictures of the Moses family.

Our mother, Rose, who is 97 years old, loved reading and laughing about the good time everyone seemed to have celebrating Kala Mo-ses retirement. Especially, the homemade ice cream and the many motorcycles.

Happy retirement Kala!Nancy A. Temelko

Dear Mike,After reading your

editorial this past week, on how a typical Sunday you have lately, first of all, I love reading the review every week. It’s delivered every Sunday in the famous plastic bag with a few ads at-tached to my mailbox. I was especially anxious this past Sunday, be-cause my husband’s obit would be there among others who recently lost a loved one.

Moving permanently to Harrison in May 2010, we truly never re-gretted the Bay City we called home. For over 25 years, we were just the “weekenders” find-ing out little one-bed-room home with one-acre property. That was enormous for us com-pared to a 55x100 lot in the city. A two-day trip to escape the noise of the houses sandwiched together. God forbid if you had a rotten neigh-bor your life would have been total hell! We never missed the booms and bangs over 4th of July. They started 2 weeks before well after 1-2AM. Pretty nice when you worked Mon-Fri trying to drink coffee at 6:30AM. One large bomb landed in our little yard, made a huge hole, luckily missed the roof. Every corner had a stop sign. In a city with 4 big bridges over the Sagi-naw river, there’s always one being worked on. Don’t get stopped by a RR crossway at the wrong time. If you had an appointment, you’ll be late, by 20-30 min-utes.

So, Mike, I and my husband got that break coming here, living here, only now he’s in another peaceful place. I’ll be enjoying my birds, that I’ve become accustomed to and hon-estly quite expert. I have pictures I feel could be printed. I didn’t get my first digital camera until I was 65. That’s the only hi-tech item I own. I have the basic “old per-son” flip top phone.

I refuse to text, have a computer, the whatever you call iPod, smart phone and honestly who gives a shit (sorry!) about Facebook. I was born in 1950 so you can tell I’m “old school” reading your editori-als makes me feel you are too!! I hand write,

Dear editor,President Eisenhower

said, “give the people all the freedom you can, and let them make up their own minds.” That’s what America is all about. Give me liberty or give me death.

If you want to be under a dictatorship you give un-limited power to the people that run things.

The Gov. says “she saved lives”. She can’t prove that. Free people respond different to the orders of people in power. Some ignore them, even in a dictatorial country a virus can spread, no matter

To the Editor, My name is Maggie

Pechacek and I am eleven years old. I am writing this letter today to bring attention to the Clare Ideal Theatre. My worry is that it may never open again for business. The Ideal Theatre has been a part of Clare for many years and has brought joy and happiness to many people over the years, including myself.

I love walking in the doors of the Ideal Theatre and seeing the smiling faces of Tom and the staff. The delicious and enticing smell and taste of the theatre pop-corn makes my mouth wa-ter. It is a fun and inexpen-sive way to enjoy friends, family and good movies without leaving the comfort of your own hometown. It would be a shame to see this business close its doors for-ever. I would love to see the

Save the Ideal TheatreAppreciates article

Loves this area, loves reading the Reviewsend cards and talk on the phone on my little cell phone. I typed for 40 years working in a hospital. Why would I want to text??? I actually got the highest words per minute when I graduated in 1968 (100 words!!). I re-mained all those years doing “clerical” duties, support staff. We were many times never given credit for making other staffs jobs easier.

Before I close mike, please let me thank you for the most caring, REAL newspaper I’ve read and will continue

to read. It’s a home-town people-based publishing and keep up all the work you put into it. Sorry you get “hate mail”. I just don’t know what e-mail is and I don’t care. I love to read you- crack a beer. When all my yard work is done, I still like to crack a few. I relax, look at my yard and enjoy what I finally got to grow in my sandy, clay and some real good dirt Sue found. I have 2 sets of twin fawns that I was fortunate to get a photo and it made a squeaky sound and they

community come together and do whatever is neces-sary to make sure that our Clare Ideal Theatre stays open to continue to make great family memories. I am aware of the happiness that this lovely theatre brings to families and friends across Clare and other places, as me and my family love to come to this theatre.Sincerely, Magdalynn Pechacek

It’s about keeping our freedomhow strict the rules. People rebel.

-Dan AungstP.S. this is not about

redeeming our country, its about keeping our freedom.

When the Gov. said “you are to stay at home”, a lot of people did; then she said wear a mask and keep 6ft apart. The people got rebellious when the stay at home order got lifted somewhat, the people ignored the wear a mask and 6ft. distancing to large degree. You can put only so many rules on people before they rebel.

I have some good news to share with all, My daugh-ter Susan Montgomery will possibly be released from the hospital September 2nd. This is such great news but will continue with OT and PT for some time. She will be going to a friend’s house for at least a week until I am there to help. She still has at least five to six months of therapy and medical needs, so we have updated their Go Fund Me Page. This will greatly help and as I stated before their insurance is 70/30 percent. The 20 percent will be an amount that staggers me...

I want to thank every-one for their prayers and contributions. God Bless you all...

Now for some awesome recipes that I hope all will try and enjoy......

IN LOVING MEMORY

Myron A. DavisBORN MARCH 18TH, 1956 - PASSED SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2017

Those we love don’t go away they walk besides us everyday.

Unseen, unheard, but always near, so very dear.

Love Mom, Dad, & Family

John Charles Belert, 97, passed away peacefully on August 25, 2020 with his family by his side at his daughter’s home in Har-rison. He was born April 4, 1923 in Arthur Township, in Clare County during one of the worst snow storms of the season. His parents were Charles Belert and Amalia Clara (Kinzel) Belert. He spent the early part of his life in Bay City and then Arthur Township.

John served his country honorably during World War II having enlisted on October 4, 1944 as a Pvt. He served with the 311th Regiment, Company H, 78th Lightning Division in Germany in the Mortar squad. When the ended he continued on in the Army of Occupation as a jeep driver. He was discharged August 8, 1946 as a corporal.

Before the war was he was employed by Harry Lang hauling cream from vari-ous farmers to the Creamery in Remus. After the war he continued with that job for a total of about 15 years. He had close to 385 customers throughout his career. He nev-er forgot his customer’s cream can numbers and up until his last illness could recall every customer’s number.

In 1946 he met the love of his life, Maxine Carey of Hope, Michigan and they were married on October 18, 1947 in Hope Baptist Church, a love affair lasting almost 67 years. Maxine passed away June 13, 2014. They settled in a home at 2400 S. Bard rd., in Gladwin raising their three children, Linda, Eileen, and Kevin, a home for almost 72 years.

In 1957 he went to work for Dow Chemical and retired in 1982 after 25 years of service. During his time with Dow he completed his high school educations, something he wasn’t able to achieve after graduating eighth grade in Bessie School, in Arthur Township, in Clare County. It took him six years to com-plete his education graduating in 1969 from Midland High School while at the same time his daughter Eileen graduated from Beaverton High School.

Dad joined the VFW Post 7303 after retirement and became a life member. He served as Chaplin for a number of years and was also a trustee. He was a very ac-tive member up until his last illness, marching in all the parades as an Honor Guard and sometimes conducting a funeral.

John was a man of strong faith and a member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Gladwin where he served as Council member, as an usher for several years and in whatever capacity he was needed. He was involved with

the Annual Sauerkraut Supper almost from its inception. He and Maxine graciously volun-teered in whatever way they could for the church.

He will be sadly, but honorably missed by his children: Linda L. Bailey, Harrison, Eileen (Charles) Root, Troy, Michigan and Kevin J. (Marci) Belert, Hol-land, Michigan. Six grand-children: Brenda (JJ) Poet of Clare, Tom Bailey, Harrison, Karla (Jim) Holbrook of Hartland, Sarah (Ken) Woelke of Livonia, Karl and Joe Belert of Holland, Michigan. Seven great grandchildren: Devon and Nick Poet, Dane and Kaitlyn Baily, Alex and Zachry Holbrook and Steve Burton. He is also survived by a special niece and husband, Brad and Cheri Snow of Gladwin. He was predeceased by his wife Maxine Carey Belert, his son in law James Baily, his parents Charles and Molly Belert, his brother and sister in law Carl and Dorothy Belert and sister and brother in law Lydia and Sherm Perry along with two nieces, a nephew, and great nephew.

A very special thank you from the family to Clare County Senior Service and Janica McLearn for all the care given over the past three years. Also a very grateful thanks to all the wonderful people at Heartland Home Care/ Hospice. We were treated with the utmost respect and you kindness will not be forgotten.

Memorials may be made to Veterans Freedom Park statue project fund and sent to Po Box 438, Harrison, Michigan, 48625 or Heartland Hospice at Heartlandhospicefund.org

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 29, 2020 at 11am at Our Savior Lutheran Church with Pastor Timothy Sheridan officiat-ing. A visitation will be held on Friday, August 28, 2020 from 1 pm to 8 pm. Friends may call the church from 10 am until the time of service and from 1 pm until 8 pm on Friday. Arrangements are cur-rently in the care of Lee-Ram-say Funeral Home-Gladwin Chapel.

Postcard from the Pines

By Julie Traynor

Fall has Fell??

It has arrived. Not of-ficially, but certainly. Fall, like a spinster aunt, has come to pay her annual visit. The calendar may say that she is not yet due, but make no mistake, she is here.

Aunt Fall is a splashy old gal and we’ve been anticipating her visit for some time. She’s been teasing us by sending color to maple saplings here and there and dressing the roadsides with fall flowers. It is not yet officially fall, yet it is.

Meteorological autumn begins on September 1, and right on cue, she’s sent us much cooler fall-like temperatures, perennial late asters and black-eyed Susan’s to light her way. Make no mistake about it. Summer is done and our favorite aunt has come to stay for her allotted time. We hope fall hangs around for a long time. She’s the only thing between us and her bitter brother, Old Man

Winter. Meteorological winter begins December 1.

As always this time of year, canning is at the top of the list at our house. The Gardener has been busily at it for some time. Our tomatoes are early and plentiful. Some 65 pints of green beans are in the pantry. They are keeping company with tomatoes, stewed and juiced, peach jam and apple jelly…so far. Potatoes, beets, more tomatoes and pizza sauce are on the agenda.

The Gardener’s garden has been good to us, for the most part this season. We are canning our own abundant tomatoes ear-lier than usual. The green beans were bountiful and the potatoes are, as always excellent. The Gardener has a ‘spud thumb’ for sure. If those who settled in Winterfield at the turn of the last century had known this third rate soil, on the ‘wrong’ side of the river, could grow potatoes year

after year, perhaps they would be our main crop instead of Jack pine.

This season the great shortage is not among things to can, but is the one thing canning cannot be accomplished without, lids. It seems that every-one who had the time at home this year also raised a garden. And now these same backyard farmers are ready to try their hand at preserving the bounty. Canning lids and supplies are at a premium, if you can locate them.

Having exhausted the local stores in our quest for more lids, we followed a tip at Clare and then beyond to Menards in Mt. Pleasant. We knew things were not good when we met a family of four carry-ing cases of jars, complete with lids and rings, across the parking lot. They were hustling along as if they feared for their goods.

Marion Family Album

By Julie TraynorIn the fall of 1938,

students of the Marion Township Unit School were excited to return to the classroom. In fact, they were returning to an entirely new brick build-ing than the one they left at the end of the previous school year. In fact, the old wooden structure, located just to the west of the new one, was sold for lumber and dismantled.

The three story brick structure was overseen by the WPA and constructed by local workers at a cost of $109,000, with a local bond issue contributing $35,000.

Marion’s new school afforded many much

needed upgrades, primar-ily more classroom space and a dedicated library. A central boiler comfort-ably provided steam heat to the entire building. Hot lunch was served up in a new kitchen, and for the first time, sporting events and graduation ceremonies could be held at the school; the new gymnasium, complete with a fine stage, accommodated all public activities comfortably.

Within twenty years this building was be-coming crowded. Voters passed funding for a six room and office addition, with renovations to the shower rooms. Elementary students returned to new classrooms in the fall of

1958.Before ten years passed

there was talk and a push within the school district to alleviate over-crowding by building a separate high school building. Funding for this building passed the second time it was brought

before voters. High School students moved into the new structure in Novem-ber, 1966 and the MHS Class of 1967 was the first to graduate from the bigger and better gymnasium.

Marion, Michigan – School Time

This was not a good sign. Sure enough, the only op-tion was cases of jars and mighty few of them. We bought some, against all logic. The Gardener owns many, many jars.

Two days later we were able to purchase a quan-tity of lids and rings lo-cally. We are thankful and learned a lesson for next year. As with all things, Be Prepared. If there is one thing we all should have learned from this year is to Be Prepared. Be Prepared as best you can.

As for this vanity postcard of a monster crop, supposedly taken at Marion, Michigan 100 years ago...we are doubtful. Wishful thinking for sure.

had a great mini reunion last week. We foiled the persistent rain by meeting at Barryton’s Historical Museum complex and park, dining under the safety of a great and dry

pavilion. We had a won-derful lunch, talked a lot, found one garage sale and most importantly, had this little bit of ‘normal times’ together. It’s a start.

With their home gym still off limits, the Clare volleyball team hit the road twice last week. The Lady Pioneers fared well indoors, as they most recently won two games at a quad match in Grayling Saturday.

Clare opened with a loss to Johannesburg-Lewiston 25-23, 18-25 and 15-11, but they regrouped to tame Mancelona 25-15 and 25-16 and edged Grayling 25-18 and 25-22.

“There was much improvement from the first match at Manton to the end of this day,” head coach Shannon Zinser said. “We are grateful for the oppor-tunity to play. This team has great team chemistry and they work together in a way that will lead to success if they continue to work hard.”

Senior Bailey Taylor had a big day attacking, getting 18 kills while add-ing two blocks and 19 digs. Paige Carstenson added 14 kills, eight aces, six digs and five blocks, Abby Mel-lish was able to add 46 as-sists, 14 digs and one ace, Ava Crowder and Raegan Louch had nine kills each, Izzy Miedzianowski had a team high 36 digs and Syney Swartz had three aces, two blocks, one kill and 14 digs.

On Thursday, Aug. 27 Clare opened the season at Manton. The Pioneers came up short in their first indoor action, 25-19, 25-15, 14-25 and 25-18.

“This was obviously our first time in a very long time in a gym and the girls had a few nerves, but over-all we were happy with our first match of the season,” Zinser said. “Manton was gracious enough to honor our seniors along with theirs!”

Leading the team in the loss was Taylor with 12 kills, 21 digs and three aces, Carstenson had four kills, seven aces and six digs, Mellsih added 21 assists and 12 digs and Miedzianowski tallied 19 digs.

Clare is now 2-2 overall on the year. The Pioneers play at Cheboygan 11.

Seniors react to opening games

Sydney Swartz: “To play in a few matches means a lot because COV-ID has made it very hard to be able to do many things, but to be able to play one of the sports I absolutely love means so much to me. I’m glad my senior year gets to have a little bit of normal in it.”

Bailey Taylor: “It means a lot to be able to play so far this season. Being able to practice and get some matches in gives us something stable in a time

of uncertainty. Person-ally, it means a lot to me because sports have always been my thing, and my plan is to continue those into college. I’m grateful to get the chance to have one last go-around before I graduate.”

Abby Mellish: “It means a lot to me to be able to play this season. Having matches and being with all the girls is something normal going on during this crazy time.”


The Coleman cross country team opens their season on Tuesday. Head coach Jerry Falor enters his seventh season guiding the Comets and hopes for another good fall.

“Young team (last year with some good times, (we) had fun,” Falor said. “Strong 11th grade group with some good other younger kids. (We focus on) your race, your pace and try to work toward a

goal of being healthy and getting a personal record over last year. (We hope to have) more meets and not get shut down. Kids need sports.”

On this year’s team are juniors Margaret Van-sickle, Lexus Baker, Noah Haskell, Jack Wiggins, Jaden Bovee, Hunter Falor, AJ Simon, Shane Temple-man and Carter Brownlee.

Sophomores on the squad are Kaylee Aultman, Cole Aultman and Bryce Aultman while Brooke Falor is the lone freshman.


McBain Northern Michigan Christian is mak-ing plenty of noise early on this soccer season. The Comets kept their Northern Michigan Soccer League record perfect Wednes-day night, when they sent home Pine River with a 5-1 setback.

“We controlled the game, we possessed the ball really well, probably 80-to-90 percent,” head coach Dave VanHaistmsa said. “Pine River plays tough defense and that made it difficult to get the shouts through.”

The Comets took 13 minutes to find the score-board, as Seth VanHaitsma netted an unassisted goal. Barrett Bosscher booted one in about nine minutes later on an assist by Jonas Lanser to make it 2-0.

The second half scor-ing started 11 minutes in. Mekhi Harris fired a direct kick, which Kendrick Smallegan headed in to make it 3-0.

Another goal by Smal-legan put it to 4-0 and a Nick Heuker goal on an assist by Logan Hart put the Comets ahead 5-0.

The Bucks tacked on a goal in the final minute to spoil the shutout.

Blake DeZeeuw made four saves in goal, as the Comets outshot the Bucks

29-to-5 in the contest. “We were able to play

everyone and got some guys in that haven’t played much in closer games, it was nice to see them get some time,” VanHaitsma said. “It was nice to get Bosscher and Hart in the scorebook and we had some other guys step in too.”

On Monday, NMC was able to pick up a key NMSL contest win, 2-1 over visiting Ogemaw Heights.

“Ogemaw came out and was quick and moved the ball quickly, but our guys rose to the occasion,” VanHaitsma said. “We did have some defensive lapses but fortunately Ogemaw did not capitalize on those and their only goal was on a penalty kick.”

The Falcons sent in that penalty kick early in the game to make it 1-0, but VanHaitsma headed in a ball from Harris to tie things up at 1-1 at the half.

In the second half, Lanser had a scoring op-portunity but was taken down in the box. Harris converted on the ensuing penalty kick, allowing NMC to pick up the win, which could prove vital as the season progresses.

“It is definitely a quality win, Ogemaw has been doing well and they will get another crack at us and we will see what we can do

when that happens,” Van-Haitsma said. “It certainly could have gone either way, it was an intense game.”

DeZeeuw had a busy night in goal to earn the win, sending back 18 shots, including one on a penalty kick.

On Wednesday, Aug. 26 the Comets picked up another NMSL victory, out-scoring Gladwin 9-2.

NMC wasted little time, pounding in five goals in the opening 11 minutes of action.

“That was some very pretty passing,” VanHaits-ma said. “Gladwin has tra-ditionally been tough, they certainly lost a lot from last years’ team but they have been tops in the conference the last several years and

we came out intense and fired up and were able to put some very nice passing together and capitalize on some good looks as well.”

NMC led 5-2 at the half and finished the night off with four more goals in the final 40 minutes.

“It was a nice team win, we were able to get a lot of people involved,” Van-Haitsma said. VanHaitsma had a big night with four goals, Lanser added one goal and three assists, Nick Heuker added a goal and assisted on two as well with Harris and Carter Quist netting single goals each. Andrew Eisenga had two assists.

DeZeeuw had six saves in net.

NMC is now 4-1 overall and 3-0 in the NMSL.


Apparently the work the Farwell volleyball team put in during their outdoor practices paid off. The Lady Eagles, who like every team in the area can’t practice indoors, traveled to Buckley Tuesday night, an area with few restric-tions on indoor activity for a tri-match. Farwell won both of its contests, taking down both Baldwin and host Buckley.

Against Baldwin, the Eagles claimed a straight sets win, 25-12 and 25-12.

Madi Travis had seven kills, 11 digs and three aces, Alison Lake had 15 assists and two aces and Madison Dysinger had five kills and one ace while the team served at 94-percent.

“Overall, for the first time in a competitive situ-ation inside we did pretty well,” head coach John Pakledinaz said. “Return-ing varsity players knew what the expectations were and led the team. We played with intensity much of the match, even when the opponent wasn’t match-ing our intensity. I liked that.”

Against Buckley, Far-well was a winner thanks to scores of 25-19 and 25-16.

Travis had six kills, nine assists and four blocks, Kylie Smith had 13 digs, Olivia Brown added five kills, Hannah Bass had 14 digs, three kills and one ace and Allison Lake had three aces and 18 assists.

“Buckley is a better team then Baldwin, which shows up in the scor-ing, however we did not play well,” Pakledinaz said. “Probably a bit of a letdown, which is expected, but disappointing none the less. The returning varsity players struggled and that cost us points and it cost us opportunities to score points. In the end, we were able to pull out a victory, which was nice. It’s early and we will learn from those mental letdowns and grow because of them. It was nice to get two wins

for the program with such a hectic and odd start to the year.”

Pakledinaz enters his fourth year as head coach of the team, who went 16-22-2 overall and 4-10 in the Jack Pine Conference last year.

Seniors Kylie Smith (libero) and Allison lake (setter) along with juniors Madi Travis (middle blocker), Hannah Bass (middle blocker) and Emma Swarthout (defen-sive specialist) return to the team this year.

Juniors Oliva Brown (outside hitter) and Abigail Self (defensive specialist) are new to the squad as are sophomores Madison Dysinger (outside hitter) and Anna Pitts (right side hitter).

“So far we have been focusing on staying hy-drated and working on as many fundamental skills we can because we have not been inside practicing,” Pakledinaz said. “We have been focusing on being focused and handling the situation as best we can. The student-athletes have handled the start of the year better than the coaches, to be honest.”

COVID-19 has certainly changed the way volley-ball has prepared for their upcoming season.

“We play volleyball inside but our practice and preparation have been limited to what we can accomplish outside,” Pakledinaz said. “We have had two practices canceled due to rain, we have had some days when the wind has made practice difficult and many gals losing the ball in the sun. COVID has us not as far along prepara-tion wise as we would like. I am sure all coaches are saying that.”

Assuming there is a Jack Pine Conference season, Pakledinaz is eying a few teams to look out for.

“Beaverton and Gladwin probably stand out,” he said. “We are young, but I feel we will be competitive in our matches.”

The Farwell girls golf team doesn’t have a huge roster, but what it does have is four out of five athletes returning from last year’s squad.

“This year’s team is a great group of girls, they are very supportive of each other and they keep each other positive,” head coach Carrie Bass said. “They are very chatty during practic-es, which as a coach I feel is great because that is how I get to know them as an individual and as a team. We are smaller than the last two years, but that is OK, we are well-rounded.”

Returning to the team will be senior Abigail Bass, senior Ellianna Dailey, ju-nior Izzy Ellul and sopho-more Katelene O’Dell.

“Abigail has been golf-ing for four years and me-daled three times last year, she is very determined to shoot under 50 this year,” Bass said. “Ellianna has been golfing for two years

and she brings a very posi-tive attitude to the team and never gives up, her quote is always ‘I am good coach, I got this.’ Izzy is in her third year golfing and has improved so much in the last three years. She always has a thumbs up ev-ery time coach is nearby to see how she is golfing on the course. Katelene is in her second year golfing and this girl brings determina-tion to the team and takes it very seriously. She has a beautiful drive and she can really get it out there in the fairway.”

Zara Wardwell is the lone new golfer to the team.

“We are excited to have her on our team, this is her first year golfing and she has a great attitude and determination about the sport,” Bass said.

The Eagles will compete in the Mid-Michigan Golf Conference for the second year in a row, where they will battle against Clare, Sacred Heart, Shepherd and Pinconning.

“This conference is a great group to be in, they are very competitive with each other but also are very supportive with each other as well,” Bass said. “Farwell always strives to do their very best and their sportsmanship is like no other. We all want to come out on top in this confer-ence and bring home a trophy at the end, but to me the goal at the end of this conference is making sure the girls learned something and had a positive experi-ence.”

Farwell has already competed in three matches this season and is sched-uled to return to the links again on Sept. 10 at Shep-herd.

The Clare cross country teams began their respec-tive seasons on Thursday, Aug. 27. They battled Freeland and Saginaw Her-itage in a tri-meet, in Mid-land’s Stratford Woods. The boys team took third with 67 points, while Heritage won with 19 and Freeland was in with 52. The girls took third place as well, notching 64 points while Freeland won with 19 and Heritage was sec-ond with 46.

“Though it was very hot and racing conditions were not favorable, we were excited to get a starting point for our season,” girls head coach Kyle McK-own said. “It has been so long since the kids have competed that we were just excited to actually be able

to race again. Regardless, our goal is to continue to progress throughout the entire season.”

Brad White led the Pioneers with an eighth place finish and time of 18:41, Cole McMillan was 14th and Nic Porter was 15th at 19:33 and 19:49, Ted Bell was 18th at 20:08, Anthony Taylor crossed in a time of 20:25 and was 20th, in 23rd was Scott Rodenbo in a time of 20:54 and in 24th, 25th and 26th was Hayden Wood, Hunter Blain and Andrew Klaus in times of 20:54, 20:56 and 21:12.

The Lady Pioneers were paced by Hattie VeenK-ant who was fifth thanks to a time of 21:48, Riley Schroeder was 10th at 22:58, Kara Forsberg ran a time of 24:15 to take 15th, right behind her was Allie Boyd in 16th on a time of

24:17, Megan Veitengruber was 21st at 24:49, Abby Leigh was 26th and Sofiah Coker was 27th with times of 25:32 and 28:58.

In the boys junior varsi-ty race, the Clare boys had Lucas Snyder run a time of 22:26 to finish sixth, in seventh was Charlie Hicks by clocking a 22:32, Cohen Young finished 13th at 23:43, Keagan Hill was 13th at 24:41 and Luke Thompson was 17th at 26:17.

In the girls JV race, the Pioneers had Bailey Seibt run a 26:50 to come in 10th, Aubrey Dionne was 15th at 27:34, Ava Long placed 19th at 28:00, Lexi LaPoe and Holley Gilm-ore were 21st and 22nd in times of 28:28 and 28:44, Caitlin Thompson was 24th at 29:15 and Kather-ine Brandon was 26th at 29:50.


The good news for the Clare soccer team is it was able to get a game in. The bad news is the Pioneers lost their season opening contest at Cheboygan on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2-0. Still, head coach Jim Bond was just happy to see his team out playing another team on the field.

“You never like to lose and the possession was a little more lopsided than I would have liked, but we got better as the game went on, hopefully it was just

opening game jitters,” he said. “I came into this year saying I was going to play our younger players more than last year and I did, so yes it is a pretty decent result for us.”

The Chiefs had sev-eral scoring chances in the opening half, but Clare and goalkeeper Mason Poet kept them from finding the back of the net, leaving it a score-less tie at the intermission.

About 14 minutes into the second half, Cheboygan’s Connor Gibbons booted in a goal, that Bond claimed Poet had “no chance of saving it, it was just a great shot.”

The Chiefs tacked on an insurance goal with about seven minuets to play, off the feet of Blaine Baldwin.

Poet was able to rack up seven saves in goal.

Clare (0-1 overall, 0-1 NMSL) was at Roscom-mon on Thursday and plays at Traverse City Christian Sept. 12.

“We are just going to keep working on things,” Bond said. “The schedule unfortunately this year is so not fluid. We all just have to adapt to it and figure things out as we go.”


The McBain volleyball team was able to take care of business in a tri-meet in Suttons Bay on Tuesday. The Lady Ramblers took on host Suttons Bay and Glen Lake, beating the host Lady Norsemen 25-22, 23-25 and 15-7 and the Lady Lakers 25-11 and 25-22.

“We started off a bit slow and found ourselves in a bit of a hole the first game, but the girls showed some grit and were able to fight back from a 2-12 deficit to rally and take that first game,” head coach Shawn Murphy said. “I thought our serving was pretty solid across the board.”

Linde VanderVlucht had a team high six kills and also had four blocks, three aces and was perfect from the service line, going 21-of-21. Analyses Fredin had five kills, 21 assists, 12 digs, two blocks, five aces and was 27-of-27 serving and Klaire Pollington was 29-of-29 serving while add-ing four aces, nine digs and one kill.

“I thought our serving was pretty solid across the board,” Murphy said. “Overall, it was a good team effort and we continue to work on specific issues with positions. I think our outsides stepped up a little which was good to see.”

On Friday, the Ramblers opened their season in a quad at Cadillac. Since

the team hasn’t been al-lowed to practice indoors, this marked the first time they were in a gym since practices began Aug. 12. McBain was able to take down Tri-County 25-15, 25-17 and 25-23, but it lost to Cadillac 25-13, 25-19 and 25-7 and came up short to Morley-Stanwood as well, 25-19, 25-22 and 25-17.

“This was actually our first time playing on an indoor court, so I was pretty excited to see how we would do,” Murphy said. “I was pleased with how our offense was able to roll when we were able to get our passing to our setter. We struggled a bit with our serve-receive and at times, we were a bit slow on our defensive movements.”

VanderVlucht ham-mered down 18 kills and added five blocks and nine digs, she also had 19-of-20 serving with an ace. Gabby Verberkmoes added 16 kills, six blocks, seven digs and three aces and she was a busy 34-of-35 serving. Analiese Fredin had 43 as-sists, five kills, three blocks, there aces and was 37-of-40 serving. Alyssa Bode had eight kills and four blocks.

“This was a good first match for us to gauge where we are at and see what we need to work on,” Mur-phy said. “I think the girls were pretty excited to get a chance to play.”

McBain is 3-2 overall so far on the young season.


McBain Northern Michi-gan Christian is making plenty of noise early on this soccer season. The Comets kept their Northern Michi-gan Soccer League record perfect Wednesday night, when they sent home Pine River with a 5-1 setback.

“We controlled the game, we possessed the ball really well, probably 80-to-90 percent,” head coach Dave VanHaistmsa said. “Pine River plays tough defense and that made it difficult to get the shout through.”

The Comets took 13 minutes to find the score-board, as Seth VanHaitsma netted an unassisted goal. Barrett Bosscher booted one in about nine minutes later on an assist by Jonas Lanser to make it 2-0.

The second half scoring started 11 minutes in. Mekhi Harris fired a direct kick, which Kendrick Smallegan headed in to make it 3-0.

Another goal by Small-egan put it to 4-0 and a Nick Heuker goal on an assist by Logan Hart put the Comets ahead 5-0.

The Bucks tacked on a goal in the final minute to spoil the shutout.

Blake DeZeeuw made four saves in goal, as the Comets outshot the Bucks 29-to-5 in the contest.

“We were able to play everyone and got some guys in that haven’t played much in closer games, it was nice to see them get some time,” VanHaitsma said. “It was nice to get Bosscher and

Hart in the scorebook and we had some other guys step in too.”

On Monday, NMC was able to pick up a key NMSL contest win, 2-1 over visit-ing Ogemaw Heights.

“Ogemaw came out and was quick and moved the ball quickly, but our guys rose to the occasion,” Van-Haitsma said. “We did have some defensive lapses but fortunately Ogemaw did not capitalize on those and their only goal was on a penalty kick.”

The Falcons sent in that penalty kick early in the game to make it 1-0, but VanHaitsma headed in a ball from Harris to tie things up at 1-1 at the half.

In the second half, Lanser had a scoring opportunity but was taken down in the box. Harris converted on the ensuing penalty kick, allow-ing NMC to pick up the win,

which could prove vital as the season progresses.

“It is definitely a qual-ity win, Ogemaw has been doing well and they will get another crack at us and we will see what we can do when that happens,” Van-Haitsma said. “It certainly could have gone either way, it was an intense game.”

DeZeeuw had a busy night in goal to earn the win, sending back 18 shots, including one on a penalty kick.

On Wednesday, Aug. 26 the Comets picked up another NMSL victory, outscoring Gladwin 9-2.

NMC wasted little time, pounding in five goals in the opening 11 minutes of action.

“That was some very pretty passing,” VanHaitsma said. “Gladwin has tradi-tionally been tough, they certainly lost a lot from last

years’ team but they have been tops in the conference the last several years and we came out intense and fired up and were able to put some very nice passing together and capitalize on some good looks as well.”

NMC led 5-2 at the half and finished the night off with four more goals in the final 40 minutes.

“It was a nice team win, we were able to get a lot of people involved,” VanHaits-ma said. VanHaitsma had a big night with four goals, Lanser added one goal and three assists, Nick Heuker added a goal and assisted on two as well with Harris and Carter Quist netting single goals each. Andrew Eisenga had two assists.

DeZeeuw had six saves in net.

NMC is now 4-1 overall and 3-0 in the NMSL.

MARION – Doug Kinkema of the Marion Rod & Gun Club has announced the annual Ironman shoot is set for Sept. 12 at the local club-grounds.

“Last year, it was the biggest nonsanctioned shoot in the state of Michi-gan,” Kinkema said. “We had 63.”

Kinkema anticipates around the same number of shooters this year.

“It consists of skeet, trap, 5-stand and sporting clays, all simultaneously,”

Kinkema said, “and in the same day, 125 targets.”

The competition starts at 9 a.m.

“It’s a fun shoot, but bring your big boy pants and leave your excuses at home,” Kinkema said.

Shooters come from all over the state, Kinkema said, from Detroit to Harbor Beach to Mackinac City.

“There’s no other place in the state that can hold a shoot like this and simul-taneously shoot all the venues,” he said. “We have all the space and equip-ment to do it.”

Harrison, MI— With the cancellation of face-to-face programs due to COVID, the organizing committees of the Clare and Roscom-mon Forestry Day Camps began to look for an alter-native way to teach youth about forestry. MSU Ex-tension staff Alex Schunk, Clare County 4-H Program Coordinator, John Wurm, Roscommon County 4-H Program Coordinator, and Julie Crick, Natural Resources Educator, joined forces with Kate King, the Huron Pines AmeriCorps member serving with the Michigan DNR, and Nia Becker, Forester with the Clare Conservation District to create the Michigan Forestry Scavenger Hunt. The goal of the Michigan Forestry Scavenger Hunt was to provide virtual edu-cational programming that encouraged Michigan’s youth to view and interact with forests in news ways, regardless of location or access to forested areas.

The Michigan Forestry Scavenger Hunt took place August 7-12 on the Goose-Chase scavenger hunt app and gave youth ages 5 to 19 the opportunity to learn about forestry with their family by completing mis-sions. Missions engaged youth in forestry education by providing brief videos and articles followed by activities, often outside,

which were completed using photo, video, or text submissions. The scaven-ger hunt educated youth about forests by creating art, making edible scat, exploring forestry ca-reers by dressing up like a logger, writing letters to their school to encour-age them to start a school forest, learning nature sign language, and many more. Youth also had the chance to print a “flat” Smokey Bear and take him along on their forestry adven-tures. Many teams enjoyed creating fun video submis-sions, such as how to walk like a woodcock – one of many missions that youth’s parents joined in on!

Youth from all over Michigan, above the

Mackinac Bridge down to Detroit, participated in this educational experience. Overall, there were 102 teams participating in the Michigan Forestry Scaven-ger Hunt, which consisted of 225 total youth. Teams completed a total of 4,042 missions throughout the scavenger hunt. To comply with social distancing, teams consisted of families residing in the same house-hold – some even par-ticipated while on camping trips!
