Vanderbrook resigns from MMMC
He says he was forced out
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Dr. Robert Vanderbrook,
of Clare, will no longer
be affiliated with MidMichigan Medical Center
– Clare.
An email from Donna
Rapp, vice president of
MidMichigan Health in
Midland said, “Robert
Vanderbrook, MD resigned
from his practice on June
12. MidMichigan immediately took steps to
begin communicating his
departure. This included
letters mailed to patients
stating that he had resigned
and offering options for
alternate care.”
“Since that time,” the
email continued, “MidMichigan has been working to review his patient
base and reach out to those
patients who have more
acute needs. Patients have
been notified that maintenance prescriptions will be
refilled for at least 30 days
based on patient need with
the exception of pain medications which are more
strictly regulated. This is
considered medical best
practice. Those patients on
pain medications are being
communicated with by letter to inform them of their
options.”
Rapp added, “Furthermore, several other MidMichigan physicians with
already busy practices have
readjusted their schedules
to see Dr. Vanderbrook’s
former patients who have
priority needs.”
sion of what happened is
different.
He said at a meeting he
was summoned to on June
12, concerns were raised
over a previous “threatening phone call” from
a patient. He was told at
that meeting that he would
“most likely” be terminated, but was also given the
option to resign. He said
he was shocked and didn’t
know what to say.
He said he felt he had to
choose that option.
Dr. Vanderbrook has
been practicing family
medicine with MMMCClare for the past nine
years and said most of his
patients were treated under
Medicare and Medicaid.”
He said threats are “routine” for a high risk clinic.

Dan Keeler‎ snapped this picture for Mike Avery’s Outdoor Magazine of two animals on
US 10 just north of Clare that may or may not be a picture of two wolves.
Trucker swears he saw
wolf on side of Clare road
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Bob Ureche, 50, of
Saginaw, a truck driver
for L & B Transportation
of Saginaw, is positive he
spotted a wolf just north of
Clare on U.S. 10.
Bob called the Review
and said he is sure it was
a wolf. “I’ve been in the
woods since I was 12 and
this wasn’t a coyote, and
I’m sure it wasn’t a dog.
I’ve seen lots of coyotes. It
was big as my dog, an Irish
wolfhound/Airedale mix,
about 105 to 115 pounds
and had the classic markings – gray and white.”
He said he spotted the
animal about a mile to a
mile and a half west of the
US-127 and US 10 split
while headed to Evart to
deliver a load. “When I
came around the corner
it came out of the median
area on the south side of
the road. I saw it for about
twenty seconds. I couldn’t
believe what I was seeing.”
He wasn’t the only one
who spotted something
that could have been a
wolf. Dan Keeler of Mike
Avery’s Outdoor Magazine
caught a picture as he was
driving by. Comments following his Facebook post
suggested that the “beasts”
he sighted were dogs.
Brian Wolfe posted,
“Feral dogs, one was hit by
a car on 127 a couple miles
north of us 10 within the
last year, that one looked
like a malamute mix. Compare the height of the dog
to the reflector post, not
tall enough to be a wolf.
I’m not saying there aren’t
wolves in the lower (I have
seen a couple) but those are
not wolves.
Ervin P Black said,
“We have wolves here in
‘Yooper land’ and those
look more like dogs to
me!”
Bonnie Jean Michalski
said, “Looks like a German
Shepard.”
Nora Maltby disagreed,
saying, “Michigan wolves!
Looks pretty close to me!”
She also posted a picture
of a wolf which did look
like one of the canines in
Avery’s picture.

It was a long day for
workers from seven agencies who were called to
help clean up a spill
Tuesday after a Michigan
Chloride tanker overturned
on Garfield Avenue.
The accident happened
in Garfield Township north
of Ludington, officials
believe “around 11:30 a.m.”
Garfield Township Fire
Chief Kevin Tubbs said.
“We are not sure exactly
when the accident happened. When we arrived
on the scene, wreckers had
already been there for some
time.”
The release from Clare
County Sheriff’s Department Undersheriff Dwayne
Miedzianowski said Central Dispatch received the
call around 1 p.m.
The truck was putting
brine on Garfield Avenue
for dust control when the
driver, Pautterloh, 20, of
Trufant, apparently went
off the edge of the road
and lost control of the
truck which rolled onto its
side and into a water-filled
ditch.
Pautterloh had minor injuries and refused medical
treatment, the release said.

Louis are both patients.
Tinesha has Multiple
Sclerosis and her husband has had severe back
problems since he fell off
a roof. “We are both disabled,” she said, “and now
we have no doctor.”
“I was very happy with
him and so was my husband,” she said. “When
MMMC let him go they
left 500 patients without
a doctor. Trying to find a
new doctor is a joke. No
one will see you.”
She continued,
“MMMC told me they
were working on finding
us a new family doctor,
but there is no one around
here that can prescribe the
medicine we are on.”
On the 9 & 10 website
the article said, “The hospital is working as quickly
as they can to find new
doctors for Vanderbrook’s
patients.”
Dr. Vanderbrook said
he is still getting phone
calls from some patients
who are desperate for
help.
“Rather than blaming
MMMC or me as their
doctor, they (the patients)
should look at it as an opportunity to help themselves.” He continued, “I
am not blaming anyone.
Sometimes things happen in life that make you
realize things are not as
secure as you thought they
were, but you can’t sit and
feel sorry for yourself. I
don’t feel sorry for myself
at all, I’m going to make
the best of it.”
He added, “I look at
it as a chance to make
something good of it. I
hope my patients will do
that too.”
Although he is still licensed and board certified,
he said he does not plan to
open a private practice in
the Clare area. “I will pursue what’s best for myself
and my family.”
On the 9 & 10 website
news story Wednesday evening, Dr. Bob
Townsend posted:
“As a physician myself I
am proud that Dr. Vanderbrook was my doctor and
cared for my entire family.
..For the record, I too am
a pain physician in Mt.
Pleasant and would gladly

Police: Beware of scams after storms
The Michigan State Police and Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette
today urged residents
affected by Monday’s severe storms to be alert for
scam artists using new
and old tricks to obtain
vital information or take
advantage of disasterweary survivors.
Residents should be
cautious of door-to-door
solicitors who hand out
flyers and promise to
speed up the insurance or
contracting process and
those who ask for large
cash deposits or advance
payments in full. Scam
artists are often transients
who will move quickly
into a troubled area,
target those perceived as
vulnerable or in need of
assistance and leave town
without fulfilling services. “Sadly, bad actors
use times of tragedy
and difficulty to prey on
victims,” Schuette said. “It›s important for those
in the areas affected by
yesterday’s storms to keep
a watchful eye out for less
than honest individuals
attempting to take advantage of those in need of
assistance.”
Consider the following
when hiring a contractor
after a disaster:
Ask to see state or local
permits or licenses. Go
to www.michigan.gov/
bcclicense and www.
michigan.gov/statelicensesearch to verify state
license information.
Hire known and recommended repair companies.
Get at least three
estimates from different
companies.
Get all agreements in
writing that state exactly
what work will be done.
Make a full payment
only when terms of the
contract are met.
Individuals are also
encouraged to be careful when being solicited
for services by phone or
email. If the deal being offered is too good
to be true, it is probably
fraudulent.
“When contracting services after an emergency
or disaster, you need to be
cautious not to be taken
advantage of by scam artists,” said Capt. Chris A.
Kelenske, Deputy State
Director of Emergency
Management and Homeland Security and commander of the Michigan
State Police, Emergency
Management and Homeland Security Division
(MSP/EMHSD). “Unfortunately, natural disasters
often bring out con artists,
scammers and those looking to make a quick buck
by taking advantage of
disaster survivors and others willing to help.”
Price Gouging
Under the Michigan
Consumer Protection Act,
a retailer may not charge
a price that is “grossly
in excess of the price at
which similar property or
services are sold.” Consumers should be aware
of prices and report any
business that appears
to be charging grossly
excessive prices for necessary supplies, such as
water, ice, plywood, gas
and generators.
If consumers are concerned that a retailer may
be engaging in behavior
that violates the Consumer Protection Act, they are
encouraged to contact the
Attorney General›s Consumer Protection Division
at 1-877-765-8388 or
file an online complaint
atwww.michigan.gov/agcomplaints.
Charity Scams
Charities often form to
help those affected after a
disaster. While the public
is encouraged to donate
to charities, be sure that
the charity is worthy. In
response to a disaster,
bogus charities are often
created in an attempt to
profit from the generosity
of the public.
Consider the following
before donating:
DO NOT give cash.
Make out a check
or money order to the
organization, not the individual collecting for the
organization.
Be wary of excessive
pressure for on-the-spot
donations.
DO NOT hesitate to
ask for written information about the charity and
be wary of charities that

Taxable county land down from 2014
By Rosemary Horvath
Correspondent
Clare County government officials are waiting
anxiously for the real estate
market to pickup. “Sales
are what it’s all about,”
agreed Kimberly Halis,
county equalization director, in a recent exchange
with county board Chairman Jack Kleinhardt.
Land values on the two
lake coasts are rising but
inland values are not, at
least not here.
AdoptA-Pets
HANK 210D15:
Hank is a stray that was
found on Eight Point Lake
Rd in Farwell. Hank is
an adult dog that weighs
50 lbs. Hank is a good
boy that walks well on
the leash and he displays
good manners. County’s total taxable
value as of May 26 was
$1,008,781,802. Value the
same time last year was
$1,013,770,659.
Ninety-three disabled
veterans or the unmarried spouses of deceased
disabled veterans received
property tax exemptions.
The law requires an affadavit to be filed annually. Eligible are Michigan
homesteads.
Halis said the average
taxable value of a property
was $38,500 and that the
county’s total taxable value
decreased by $3 million
from exemptions.
Commissioners authorized the summer property
tax levy of 4.7072 mills for
general operations, which
is the same as the previous
year. The Headlee amendment rolled back the voter
approved 5.5000 voter
approved millage.
Notice of a public
hearing noted increasing property taxes but it
signified the hearing was
to override the cigarette tax
and convention facilities
tax rollback. The procedure
saved the county thousands
of dollars even though the
actual amount is nearly
$9,000 less than last year,
Halis said.
“The county is levying
the same millage,” she
added.
Voter approved millage
in 2013 for seniors remains
0.4800 and millage passed
in 2014 is 0.2700. Millage
for transportation passed in
2010 is 0.3000 and for 911
in 2013 is 0.3500.
The Transit Corporation
will ask voters for a millage renewal for a period of
six years beginning 2017.
The election is set for Aug.
5. The millage is equal to
30 cents for every $1,000
of taxable value.
Headlee rollback will
impact only the townships
of Frost and Summerfield.
Frost will lose $37 for operating, $129 for roads and
$46 for fire. Summerfield is
losing $534 for operating,
$435 for roads and $451
for fire.
This represents an
increase in taxable value
more than the consumer
price index of six percent,
Halis said. Headlee amendment was approved by
voters in 1978.
Commissioners voted
to table discussion regarding an amendment to the

Clare School now all have
“Secured Entry Systems.”
The Rotary International

State needs to look
from within to fix roads
I’ve always maintained
that the State of Michigan
needs to look from within
the come up with additional funding to fix our
state’s deteriorating roads.
The May 5th election was
a sham, perpetrated by a
legislature that didn’t want
to make the necessary
fiscal cuts to repair our
roads. Instead they asked
the public to vote for a tax
increase for road fixes, and
the measure went down to
defeat by the widest margin
one can ever recall.
So what do we do now?
Our roads clearly need attention. Personally I think
there is a lot of fluff in the
Michigan Department of
Transportation (MDOT)
budget. I long hard look
at that could shake loose
several million.
But beyond that, the
Mackinac Center for Public
Policy has listed a wide array of current expenditures
on programs that offer little
or no benefit to the typical
Michigan taxpayer. They
claim, and I would agree,
these expenditures could
be reduced and magically
provide the money needed
to bring our roads up to par
with the rest of the nation.
Here’s some suggested
reductions:
-Michigan Economic
Development Corp.
(MEDC): $230 million.
The Mackinac Center
suggests we do away with
what they call one of the
state’s most ineffective
and useless agencies. Their
$50 million subsidy to the
film industry, although it
might provide a few part
time jobs for Detroiters,
does nothing for us here
in Mid-Michigan. Another
program, the 21st Century Jobs Fund, in which
MEDC contributes $75
million, has done little to
provide jobs.
-Bus Transit: $168 million. Downstate bus fares
cover only 13 to 18 percent
of operating expenses. The
rest is subsidized by you
and I through taxes we pay.
Let the downstate SMART,
People Mover and other
public transit figure out
other ways (ie larger fares)
to run profitably. Use the
money to fix our roads.
-Amtrak: $24.6 million.
Ditto bus transit. We as
taxpayers contribute $98
per roundtrip passenger to
subsidize multiple Amtrak
routes. I’m flabbergasted.
Most train passengers are
wealthier than I or you,
and can afford to pay more.
Amtrak should raise their
rates and stand on its own.
-University appropriations: $637 million. I’ve
never understood why local
school districts are always
scrambling and universities, with the ability to
raise tuition year after year,
get huge subsidies from
the State. Understand,
the $637 million figure is
what The Mackinac Center
figures we can save. The
real subsidy number is
$1.5 billion. Per-student
support for Michigan’s
15 public universities and
colleges ranges from $2747
to $11,651, depending on
the institution. If you took
the average, and paid out
that average, $4121 to each
college student whether
they attended U of M or

How taxpayer money finds its
way into campaign coffers
Before the May 5
proposal 15-1, I studied
some responses by private
enterprise and other local
governments who supported the ill-fated and costly
proposal. It was clear and
referring to my early spring
news anyone could see
the self serving motives
behind the support. I won’t
get into further comments
about the proposal it just
wastes time and its all behind us. Here are statistics
we can all appreciate. The
State spent over $10 million in election costs and
campaigns promoting it
spent $8.6 million. Let’s
do some simple math; the
two figures represent $18.6
million dollars, enough
to improve 531 miles of
gravel road or about 206
miles of asphalt overlays.
Keep in mind, a little here
and a little there all adds up
to real money.
We all know the State
paid a lot to host the May
5th proposal, but lets look
at where the largest contributors of money came
from for the “Safe Roads
Yes” campaign, the real
promoters. By far the largest contributor was MITA,
Michigan Infrastructure
and Transportation Association at $5.5 million,
Michigan Energy First,
$250,000, Consumers Energy, $125,000. MITA is a
very large organization of
infrastructure development
concerns, there are over
600 members. Michigan
Energy First, is a 501c4
Non Profit Organization
promoting an alternate plan
to shuttering our power
plants, must have a large
money chest. Remember
your light bills knowing
that Consumers Energy is a
public regulated utility.
Here is where the trail
gets dusty to track. Almost
all Townships in Michigan
belong to the MTA, Michigan Townships Association. MTA represents the
1242 Townships in Michigan and is a 501c4 Non
Profit Organization. For
the most part MTA does
a lot of good things. By
law Townships and other
government entities can
join and pay dues to an organization like MTA, they
have legislative liaison’s
(lobbyists) and follow state
legislative issues. They
provide legal guidance on
difficult issues that affect
all Townships, and reviews
of current state legislative
actions. Grant Township
pays a little over $1900
each year dues to the MTA.
MTA contributed $100,000
to the “Safe Roads Yes”
campaign.
I’m not sure how dues
are paid for another public
money supported organization called the MASB,
Michigan Association of
School Boards, but they
contributed $25,000 to
“Safe Roads Yes”. The
MASB acts similar to
MTA and provides similar
services to School Boards
across the state. A number
of years ago when serving
on a local School Board I
always criticized MASB
for “indoctrination” of
folks who served on School
Boards. None the less
MASB provides a lot of
benefit in promoting public
education, we don’t have to
agree on all their tactics.
The last two paragraphs
outline how public money
drifted into a campaign
money chest, in this case
a taxpayer pocketbook
issue supporting a ballot
proposal. Not illegal, but
outside the normal view,
one I don’t like but a single
voice can’t be heard over
the roar. The money would
have been spent more
wisely taking legal action
against the State for violations of the Michigan Constitution, more specifically
the unfunded mandate.
Voters across the State
participated in a low turnout May 5th, what numbers did Grant Township
produce?
Precinct A has 828 registered voters, 215 voted,
196 no and 19 yes. Precinct B has 1498 registered
voters, 409 voted, 350 no
and 57 yes. Participation
was about 26%, which
means that 26% made a
decision for the whole.
Independence Day July
4th marks a significant
celebration for our nation.
Many millions of Military
personnel served to protect
our freedom and nation,
many giving the ultimate
sacrifice. We should all
participate in democracy
to fully respect those who
have served and are serving
to protect the rights we
have, voting is the least
we can do. Remember,
we have other ballot issues
in August, stay home and
show disrespect or participate and be grateful for
what we have.

Summer is lush and

At night after a rain, you
can even smell the water.
There’s something special about every season, but
summer evenings are hard
to beat.

on the deck off the living
room, when the sun is going down the river is such
a dark shade of brown that
it seems nearly black in the

is so quiet when you walk
down by the water that
your footsteps startle the
frogs into a mad leap into

When I go out in the

I get a glimpse of our resident wildlife. Last evening
I stepped out and watched a
doe and her twin fawns meander across the back yard,
watching me carefully the
whole time. We have two
families this year, one with
a single baby and one with
the twins, who are such fun

When our kids were
home, sitting together
down by the river was a

They are all grown up now,
middle aged in fact and
now sometimes we sit by

for a little special time – if
they are around.

Letters
Dr. Vanderbrook will be missed
Dear Editor,
It’s with a joy that good
rapport is established. It’s
also with grief that a friend
is reliencious [released?]
and let go! My grammar
and spelling are not perfect
in this letter…I am only
one of many who wish
to express how much Dr.
Robert Vanderbrook means
to us and his community.
It’s taken time, and he
always took the time…his
ways will be missed.
P.S. Doctor, “Walking
away from a circle leads to
the same circle!” …Ask a
rabbit!
The Patient,
Susan L. Smith
Our officers do a great job!
Letter to the Editor: So many times lately
there has been so much
negative against police officers that I find it difficult
living in Clare County
knowing that we have outstanding police officers .
I had a incident that
some people asked for
my help. Since I retired I
have no arrest power and it
makes it difficult to intervene but this situation and
family needed my help.
If I ignored the situation
it could have had the potential of putting other people
in harms way. To do this it required the
Police and Mobile Medical
Response to add support to
this situation. Sheriff John Wilson
went out of his way
and Central Dispatch went
out of their way to provide
the assistance needed. I had the privilege of
having Deputy Kelly
Bailey and Deputy Loundenslager arrive along
with members of Medical
Service and Surrey Rescue. All did an excellent job to
defuse a potential problem and everything went
well without a hitch.
Sheriff Wilson made

sure the proper care and
staffing was available for
the people to get the necessary help. It’s a good feeling to see such cooperation
and respect and professionalism come from these fine
Deputies and it makes me
proud knowing they are doing their best to protect us. Over the years we have
seen several Sheriffs come
and go and when election
time come the best person
for the job has to proove
time and time again that he
is the best qualified.
Since this is not an
election year and its more
than a year away I have
nothing to gain or lose but
to speak from the heart and
the people that live here
understand we are in good
hands.
Since retired, my career
is over and I can enjoy my
retirement. I’ve worked
with many Sheriff’s. I
feel the responsibility of a
Sheriff can be overwhelming and we need one with
a good head on his or her
shoulders.
I could not think of a
better person to continue
to lead our community
in the right direction. I
believe Sheriff Wilson and
his Deputies deserve our
support and the next time
you see any officer, a quick
thank you for their service
would go a long ways.
Thank you Sheriff
Wilson and his crew and
their efforts to make Clare
County a safer place to
live.

When Silence is Golden
without partiality and
without hypocrisy” (James
3:17).
Silence is vital when your
minister is being criticized.
Too many come to
church services to evaluate sermons rather than
looking for ways to apply
them. Little groups of critical members may gather to
complain about their pastor
instead of looking for ways
to share their faith in the
community.
Refuse to be part of
the critical crowd. Let
your silence speak of your
loyalty to the Lord and His
servants.
The still highly respected
minister, C.H. Spurgeon,
of London said, “The anvil

By Roger Campbell Ministries
Solomon said there is a
time to be silent (Ecclesiastes 3:7) His call for a time
of silence immediately preceded his advice that there
is also a “time to speak.”
This wise king may have
been telling us it is best to
be quiet long enough to
think before speaking so we
won’t say things we’ll later
regret.
Abraham Lincoln observed that is better to remain silent and be thought
a fool than to speak out and
remove all doubt, agreeing
with the writer of Proverbs:17:28: “Even a fool
is counted wise when he
holds his peace; when he
shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.”
But it is not always wise
to be silent; there is “a time
to speak.”
John Bunyan, who
wrote the enduring classic,
“Pilgrim’s Progress,” said
a turning time in his life
came when he heard a
few women sitting outside
one of their homes talking
about the Lord. He said
if they had been gossiping about their neighbors
or enjoying some choice
morsel of scandal the effect
on him would have been
entirely different, but they
were talking about their
faith and the change God
had made in their lives.
Bunyan was a tinker,
mending pots and pans in
the neighborhood, and he
later wrote that as he went
about his work the words
of these good women went
with him, ultimately playing an important part in
making him a man of faith
and a writer whose words
still change lives.
When then is silence
golden?
Silence is best when
speaking will injure others,
especially those closest to
them.
Silence is always better
than deadly digs disguised
as humor. We have no
right to speak degradingly
of those we love, even in
veiled jest. Instead, let’s
build up others with positive words of praise.
Silence is priceless when
speaking will cause divisions among the members
of your church. According
to the Bible, words that
produce bitterness and
strife come from an unholy
source.
On the other hand,
words that bring peace in
your church are said to be
from the Lord: “But the
wisdom that is from above
is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, willing to yield, full
of mercy and good fruits,

Pick-Up hits tree, injures two
Troopers from the
Michigan State Police,
Mt. Pleasant Post, are
investigating a personal
injury traffic crash that occurred on 06-20-15 at 8:10
P.M, on Baseline Road
East of Loomis Road.
The preliminary investigation into the traffic
crash revealed a 2002
Dodge Dakota pickup,
traveling Eastbound on
Baseline Road, ran off
of the North side of the
roadway and struck a
tree. The driver of the
Dodge Dakota, a 49 year
old female from Midland, was entrapped in
the vehicle and had to
be extricated from the
vehicle by fire and rescue
personnel. The driver of
the Dodge Dakota was
subsequently airlifted by
Aero Med to Spectrum
Health Butterworth Hospital for the treatment of
life threatening injuries.
The sole passenger of the
Dodge Dakota, a 42 year
old male from Midland,
was transported to the
McLaren Central Michigan Hospital by MMR for
the treatment of non-life
threatening injuries.
The Michigan State Police were assisted by the
Saginaw-Chippewa Tribal
Police Department, Mobile Medical Response,
the Isabella North East
Fire Department, and the
Saginaw-Chippewa Tribal
Fire Department. State
troopers are continuing to
investigate the incident,
and alcohol and drugs are
believed to have been a
factor in the traffic crash.
The State Police are asking anyone who may have
witnessed the crash to
contact the Michigan State
Police Mt. Pleasant Post at
(989) 773-5951.

Major
Impact
Team Depot chooses Veterans Freedom Park
70 volunteers from Home Depot volenteered their services to help with the construction of the Harrison Park a couple
Saturdays ago.
Fox32, Dish Network in dispute
Cadillac Telecasting
Company, owner of
WFXQ-TV (known to
viewers as “Fox 32”)
announced today that
despite several weeks of
diligent negotiations, it
appears that DISH will stop
carrying the station starting
at 5 PM on June 18,
2015. As a result, DISH
customers apparently will
no longer be able to view
WFQX-Fox 32 on DISH’s
satellite system.
Alex Bolea, owner
of Cadillac Telecasting
offered the following
statement regarding the
ongoing negotiations:
“We have been trying
to negotiate a deal with
DISH for the past several
weeks, and we have been
very reasonable. Fox 32
is simply seeking a fair
deal that compensates the
station for the value that
we bring to DISH viewers. In our view, the important
local news, weather,
sports, and emergency
coverage Fox 32 provides,
coupled with popular FOX
national entertainment
and sports programming,
is an unbeatable package
that DISH should want
to deliver to Northern
Michigan residents. DISH
seems to feel differently.
The reality is that we are
asking DISH to pay far less
for FOX 32 than it already
pays for national networks
like ESPN that offer great
programming, but nothing
for the community. Our
ratings are higher than
those networks, and we
think that we should be
compensated accordingly.”
The current extension
of the expired longterm agreement between
Cadillac Telecasting and
DISH expires at 5 PM on
June 18, 2015, and, absent
a further extension, DISH’s
authority to carry WFQXTV will expire at that
time. Fox 32 cannot force
DISH to agree to continue
delivering its programming
to DISH subscribers after
that date.
Fox 32’s programming
will remain available to
viewers for free overthe-air and to subscribers
to every other cable and
satellite video provider
in Northern Michigan,
including Charter and
DirecTV. “The frustrating
part about this negotiation
with DISH is that we have
agreements in place for
every other distributor in
our market,” Mr. Bolea
said, “the only company
we can’t seem to come to
terms with is DISH.
Fox 32 stated that it
intends to keep DISH
viewers updated on the
dispute through social
media and on the station’s
website. “We certainly
hope that Fox 32 stays on
DISH, and that if DISH
drops the station, any
blackout is very brief,” Mr.
Bolea said.

Impact is the most
important position in the
golf swing. It is the point
at which the clubhead is
meeting the ball. If correct
the ball will sail off the
face of the club, have a fair
chance at going relatively
straight, and the contact
will feel satisfying. If
impact is off we can get
a pot luck of shots from
pretty good to shanks and
grounders. Let›s take a
closer look at impact.
I believe most of the
impact problems come
from our hands and wrists
trying to help get the ball
in the air. We are swinging a club downward and
our brains are trying to
figure out how that ball is
going to get airborne. So
instinctively the hands and
wrists try to help by flipping at the ball at impact. It makes sense. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. This helping action cups
the left wrist (right handers) and allows the leading
edge to raise. Inconsistent
contact is the result with
fat and thin shots being
common. Proper impact
position finds the left wrist
being flat and the leading
edge staying down so that
the ball can be struck in the
center of the club.
To understand proper
impact position take a light
swing and hit something
heavy and hard like a tire.
Swing very lightly so as
to not hurt yourself and
when you hit the object
freeze your position. You
will notice your wrist and
club will be in the above
mentioned correct position. It is instinctive if you
are hitting a heavy object. Learn to apply this feel
and position to the golf
ball. Another great way
to practice impact is to hit
short chip shots grooving
in the correct position. For these chips shots the
forward wrist should be
flat and the shaft should
be angled forward as the
hands stay ahead of the
clubhead.. These short
chip shots are miniature
versions of the full swing
and learning the correct
position will work its way
into your full swing.
I often tell my students
that hitting shots with the
proper impact position is
not harder than what they
do.... it is just different. Making this change takes
some diligence especially if
you have been playing for
many years. For those that
take the time to make the
change; improvement will
happen in a major way.

Awakened in the spring
from a long winter slumber
the faithful tractor works tirelessly dawn to dusk tilling,
planting, harvesting and delivering farm products to feed
the masses. Since the first
steam engine-powered tractor was introduced in 1868
these mighty machines have
revolutionized farming. Each
year thousands of antique
tractor and engine enthusiasts
gather to share their massive
machines and love of history
with young and old at events
like the 31st Annual 20 Lakes
Antique Engine and Tractor
show held June 18-20.
Presented by the 20 Lakes
Antique Engine and Tractor Association Inc., on club
grounds, located four miles
west of Harrison, the annual
event featured a flea market,
vintage hands on interactive displays for kids, a 4-H
petting zoo, working engines,
tractor parade, sawmill,
blacksmith shop and more.
Thunderstorms expected
for Saturday failed to materialize, instead clear blue skies
with temperatures in the
upper ’70’s greeted visitors
who wandered the grounds
to see powerful old engines
in action, meet old friends
and admire old tractors and
vehicles while reminiscing
about simpler times long
ago.
For years the family garden tractor has been looked
upon as the weak kid brother
of the brawny farm tractor,
however, these little guys
have proven themselves time
and time again. On lawns,
gardens and small family
farms they have plowed,
mowed, tilled soil, planted
and hauled heavy loads,
some have even gone oval
racing on various lawnmower racing circuits. This year
the frisky little machines
got their due when the club
named them the “Featured
Tractor”. Many current and
forgotten names lined the
display area, there were even
a few custom designs in the
bunch.
Bill Priestly of Marion
and his wife Marylou
June 26, 2015
brought an impressive
collection of five AllisChalmers lawn and garden
tractors from their collection.
A unique custom called the
“General” was decked out
in old school military green.
The top three garden tractor
“Featured Tractor” show
winners were; 1st place: Don
and Mary Dakin, Jackson,
Mich., - 1966 Allis Chalmers B-12. Second place -Carl
Lounsbury, Harrison, Mich. Economy Power King 2414.
Third place -Dennis Reid.
Farmington Hills, Mich. 1964 Sears Suburban.
On the big tractor side
of the show nothing could
beat the Erskine Family of
Harrison with their Farmall
display. The big red tractors
complete with American
flags waving in the breeze
were truly a sight to behold.
The family has been showing
the tractors for the last nine
years.
Clare County 4-H ambassadors Cameron McGinnis
and Katharina Jehnzen along
with other 4-H members
helped introduce youngsters
to some furry friends in the
4-H Petting Zoo and took
part in the tractor parade.
The tractor parade was
once again a hit as displayers
toured down the clubs main
street. Thanks to the great
weather tractor and engine
entries were up this year as

well as attendance.
Long time club member

member since the early years
of the club was recognized for
his many years of service to
the group.
Another successful summer

now sets their sights on their

September 24-26 at the club
grounds.

Tractors and Engines were not the only things on display.
This 1947 Ned Reinke & Sons 1-Ton, M-15 Studebaker
with 65 H.P. has just 69,000 actual miles on it.
Owned by enthusiast Dave, this former custom pulling
tractor decked out in military style got a lot of attention.
Dennis Reid of Farmington Hills, Mich., heads past announcer Dan Dysinger with his 1964 Sears Suburban.
They might be small but little garden tractors like this John
Deere show they can pretty much do it all.
In addition antique engines and tractors the flea market
had something for everyone’s interest.
Clare County 4-H members were
sharing their love for animals with
youngsters at the petting zoo.
Even this little dog couldn’t resist the famous Twenty
Lakes Club homemade ice cream, it is one of the most
popular goodies at the event.
Above: Girl Power! this lady proved you don’t have to be a
guy to show off and run a big tractor.
Left: One little guy was really focused as he watched
grain emerge from the chute of a grinder as a young lady
cranks the wheel.
Clare County 4-H ambassadors Cameron McGinnis and Katharina Jehnzen were on
hand to promote the area 4-H program and take part in the parade.
The Erskine Family of Harrison brought out their Farmall display. The family has
been displaying their collection at the show for the last nine years.

The Clare County Review - June 26, 2015 - Page 3B
Lipovsky named softball player of the year
by Ben Murphy
Sports Correspondent
Record setting numbers
as a pitcher. Record setting numbers at the plate.
Recent Harrison graduate
Allison Lipovsky was an
impact player no matter
what she was up to in her
softball career. Lipovsky,
who will pitch for Grand
Valley State University
next spring is this year’s
Clare County Review softball player of the year.
“It was really a lot of fun
to coach her the last four
years,” Harrison softball
head coach Matt Cooper
said. “She’s a hard worker,
she loves the game and
she’s made it pretty easy to
be her coach the last few
years. We’re really going to
miss her next season.”
In her career pitching
she had a 91-32 career
record. In 725 innings
pitched she had 1363 (top15 in state all time) strikeouts, walked 121 batters
and had an ERA of 1.03.
Her career strikeouts is top
10 all-time in the state for
any pitcher. This year she
was 29-9, tossed 241 and
one-third innings, struck
out 451 batters, walked 36
and had a 0.55 ERA. She
also had 60 career shutouts,
18 of which came this
year, 23 career no-hitters,
of which eight came this
season.
“The keys to my success
was my team,” Lipovsky
said. “They believed in
me. They played behind
me. Most importantly, I
believed in them. We all
worked hard and tried with
everything we had to give.
I also give a lot of credit to
my catchers as they hauled
just as many hours in the
gym working with me in
the fall and winter leading
up to the season. I had a
lot of strikeouts and in four
years I had Danielle Cullen
and Toni Fletcher behind
the plate getting beat up
by the ball and making the
strikeouts count. I couldn’t
have done it without them.”
Offensively for her
career she had 157 hits,
30 doubles, 29 home runs
(top-20 in state all time),
154 RBI, 110 walks and
hit for a .415 average. This
past season she had 48 hits,
10 doubles, nine home
runs, 40 RBI, 33 walks and
hit .462.
“I worked hard on both
sides hitting and pitching,”
Lipovsky said. “It was very
important for me to come
off the field confident after
the other team scored or
got a hit, the girls fed off of
me, same with hitting. If I
came back into the dugout
pumped about hitting or
getting a hit they would go
up with the same confidence and get those important hits. My team counted
on me to get on base. I was
at the very top of the order
and so I tried my best to get
on and the times I didn’t I
came back into the dugout
knowing I was going to get
the next one. I was always
told that the game of softball is 99-percent mental
and 1-percent physical. I
tried my best to keep my
head straight and to play
the game I have learned to
play.”
This culminated in the
Lady Hornets winning their
first district title since 2003
and nearly added a regional
title, however they lost a
heartbreaking 1-0 game to
Pinconning in the regional
championship earlier this
month.
“It was a hard loss
not only for me but the
community of Harrison,”
Lipovsky said. “My team
battled so hard and we
had a lot of opportunities
to score, it just wasn’t our
day. I would rather end my
career end in a 12 inning
suicide squeeze than a
seven inning loss. It was
hard to lose like that but
I still have my pride and
I still am so proud of this
years softball team, no
softball team in Harrison
softball history has ever
made it that far and so I
was very proud for how my
biggest coaches in life
and sports and I truly look
forward to upcoming years
and to see how my relationship strengthens with them
right by my side through
college.”
As for what Lipovsky
loves to do better, hitting
or pitching? That’s a no
brainer.
“I love hitting as I can
can contribute to my team
offensively and get to put
a bat in my hand and do a
little damage but pitching
has to win by a mile,” she
said. “I always am able
to control the pace of the
game and help my team
on the defensive end and
allow the outcome to be in
my hands. A sweet home
run or a perfect game just
gives me a desire to dream
big and the confidence to
believe in me.”
team battled to get to the
regional finals game.”
The Hornets weren’t
quite peaking during most
of the season but the Hornets, fueled by Lipovsky’s
right arm hit another gear
come playoff time.
“Allison pitched probably four of the best games
her last four games of the
tournament,” he Cooper
said. She really had it going in the state tournament.
She really carried us into
the regional championship
game. She had a perfect
game, a two hitter and
another two hitter and then
had a dominant last game
we just as a team couldn’t
score a run and Pinny was
able to score before we did.
She has obviously been a
really good player for us
and shes going to go on
and hopefully have a really good career at GVSU.
Over the last four years
we’ve won 102 games, we
wouldn’t have won near
that many without her. She
was a dominant player.”
For Lipovsky, looking back at all the softball
games she played in is a bit
surreal.
“I would have to say
that it was the best years of
my life,” she said. “I was
a freshmen on the varsity
softball team, I worked my
way to the starting pitcher
and I worked so hard to
get my team as far as I
possibly could get them. I
had the best coaches..they
always made me laugh but
kept things serious. I got
the chance my sophomore
year to win the conference.
I will always remember
my teammates that year
and how well we played
together... We went out
with a bang.
“I am very thankful to
have been blessed with
amazing parents (Jamie
and Tammi Lipovsky) who
support me with everything
that I have done over the

years,” she added. “They
are always by my side giving me advice and moral
support and without them
I wouldn’t be the person
I am today. Most parents
are over looked and aren’t
given enough credit. My
parents are my biggest
supporters. They are my

Words Not Bullets
Michael Becker grew up
in Michigan. His father being a Greyhound Bus driver
was always on the move.
This took young Michael on
an adventurous journey all
over the state, living in numerous cities. This was the
beginning of what shaped
his life. He had to quickly
learn the likes and dislikes
of others and how to live
with them.
This made him very open
minded about others and
how they lived their lives.
This also gave him the tools
needed to be a decent police
officer, and Chief of Police.
The most important thing
in shaping his life was the
love and light he received
throughout his entire life.
Meaning, that when we are
born there is a veil between
us and the truth the world
holds. That veil is pursued
by love dropping the seeds
necessary for development
of growth. The first hole
poked through his veil came

from his birth mother. The
second hole from his adoptive parents, the third from
his wife Sheila. Then their
daughter Cheylene, along
with her husband Robert,
and their children Kira and
Cole.
Then he had the privilege
of serving in the city of
Clare, Michigan. All those
wonderful people tore the
veil down giving him more
love then he could imagine.
Some of his accomplishments were; Creator and
Father of the Michigan Police Olympics’; a member
of the State Frequency Allocation Board and Legislation Committee; a member
of the Clare Optimist Club.
Today he is a father and
grandfather. He recently
lost his wife of 45 years
in 2011. Today he walks a
darker road, but never alone
because of the wonderful
friends he as met along
the journey throughout his
entire life.

Open
House
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources
will host open houses July
22 in Gladwin and July
23 in Harrison to talk about
proposed forest management plans for 2017 in
the Gladwin management
unit, which includes Arenac, Bay, Clare, Gladwin,
the south half of Iosco,
Isabella and Midland counties. The open houses –
providing great opportunities for interested residents
to ask questions – are set
for:
Wednesday, July
22, 3-6 p.m. DNR Gladwin Field Office,
801 N. Silverleaf, Gladwin
(covering proposed treatments in Gladwin, Clare,
Midland and Iosco counties)
Thursday, July 23, 3-5
p.m.
Clare County, Redding
Township Town Hall, 8391
W. Temple Drive, Harrison
(covering proposed treatments in Clare County)
What is forest inventory?
Each year, DNR personnel
evaluate one-tenth of the
state forest. The inventory
provides decision-making
information for foresters
and wildlife, fisheries and
other resource managers.
Staff also assesses the age,
health, quality and quantity
of trees and other vegetation, carefully considering
timber management, wildlife and fisheries habitat,
minerals, archeological
sites, recreational use,
wildfire potential, social
concerns and other topics.
Because each forest
inventory is completed
approximately two years
in advance (to properly
prepare for treatments), a
“year of entry” is assigned
to indicate when treatments
will begin. Information
currently under review
has a 2017 year of entry.
This means that treatment
activities on lands being
reviewed this year actually
will begin in 2017.
How are all 4 million
acres inventoried? To more easily and efficiently oversee the
forest resources, the DNR
divides each management
unit into smaller units or
«compartments.» This
year, the compartments
under review are in Redding and Frost townships
(Clare County); Secord and
Grim townships (Gladwin
County); Sherman and
Alabaster townships (Iosco
County); and Porter and
Jasper townships (Midland
County).
Maps and information
regarding proposed treatments will be available at
the open house. The information can also be found
at www.michigan.gov/forestry. Compartment review
packets for the 2017 year
of entry can be found by
selecting the “Find a Forest” button and clicking the

The Clare Conservation
District has been fielding a
number of calls from residents worried about finding
gypsy moth larva on their
trees and outbuildings.
Here are some things
that may be helpful to
know. Gypsy moth caterpillars hatch from eggs in
late April or May. While
oak trees are a favorite
feeding host, they will also
feed on cherry, crab apple,
maple, aspen and other
trees and shrubs.
While they will defoliate a tree, Dr. Robert Heyd,
DNR forest health specialist says that gypsy moths
rarely kill trees in Michigan. He states that “Historically, only trees already
suffering from problems
like drought, old age or
root damage are at risk.”
The best defense against
the gypsy moth is to locate
the egg masses, scrape
them off of the tree or outbuilding and destroy them
prior to hatching in late
