Teen uses baseball bat to

Eighty-two-year-old
Mildred Ogg has taken
American flags to the
grave of her late husband
at Summerfield Township
Cemetery for a decade.
“He loved flags so I
always try to keep them
there,” she said.
A few weeks before Memorial Day she purchased
a flag chime for $10 that
she placed on a Shepherd’s Hook at the grave
and bought another chime
decorated with a cow to
place at the gravesite of her
friend who had a soft spot
for bovines.
Ogg and presumably
dozens of others learned
their mementoes placed in
memory of their loved ones
at the Haskell Lake Road
cemetery had been trashed
or deposited in a storage
building to be retrieved.
Township supervisor
Brice H. Bond ordered the
removal.
“Everybody in the
neighborhood is upset,”
Ogg explained. “It is just
a neighborhood cemetery
and he ruined it.”
Ogg doesn’t mince
words. She called Brice a
“joker” because he doesn’t
bother to have people
clean away junk overflow
in yards yet he “takes everything off dead people’s
graves.”
Ogg and others interviewed for this story said
they were not prepared of
the new restrictions at the
cemetery.
“I’m going to get the
Shepherd Hook back and
get another flag chime and
put it up. He better not
touch it again.”
A petition calling for
an election to recall Bond
could not be substantiated
in time for this story. But if
there is one, Ogg said she
will be the first to sign it.
And if he runs for office
again, she wants to run
his campaign so he isn’t
reelected. “He had no damn
business to do what he
did,” she declared.
Reached by phone at
the Township Hall, Bond
declined to comment on
recent events except to say
“It’s a township situation
that is being rectified.”
Asked how, he replied
“I’m not going to talk to
you about that.”
Asked if he had ordered
the removal of flowers and other items from
gravesites, he replied “No
comment.”
Posted outside the hall in
the informational cabinet is
a copy of the Leota Logger
December 2014 issue. A
message informs taxpayers the maintenance man
Tom Rhinehart works hard
maintaining the cemetery
grounds but that “grass
cutting has become increasingly difficult.”
Borders at gravesites
exceeded the two feet limit.
New rules limited size and
materials of edging used as
borders. The notice said all
gravesites must be brought
up to specifications by May
2015.
To learn the new rules

This month a teenager

2nd annual Triathlon in Harrison June 20
The Clare County Review - June 5, 2015 - Page 5A
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Start your summer off
right and celebrate Father’s
Day weekend with a visit
to the Middle of the Mitten for the second annual
“Middle-O-Mit” Triathlon.
The Middle O’ Mit Triathlon, sanctioned by USA
Triathlon, is for youngsters
and adults alike. It is just
two weeks away on June
20th beginning at 8 a.m. at
Wilson State Park in Harrison.
The event, which drew
137 participants last year
and raised about $2,000 after expenses, is one of the
fundraisers for the Friends
of Clare County Parks and
Recreation, the event sponsor. All of the Triathlon
funds raised go to support
Parks and Recreation in the
area.
The Parks and Recreation committee also
sponsors bike rides, the
Gateway Affair in the fall
and several other fundraisers, all to help the
organization support area
activities.
Dave Coker, who had
the idea for the Triathlon,
said “We wanted more
people to know about the
Friends of Parks and Recreation and what we do.
We sponsor many events
throughout the year and
donate to the Backpack
Program for area kids,
provided the new park
bench at the Farwell Village Park, handle RailTrail maintenance and
provided the little league
fencing among many
other projects.”
He continued, “Many
people don’t realize
where it comes from. We
wanted to get the word
out to people about our
organization, but the big-
gest reason we sponsor
the Triathlon is for kids. It
gives them a summer activity to get them outside
and ‘off the couch’.”
He said the event is
geared for everybody.
“We have serious competitive athletes that come
from all over to do this,
but it is for others too.
Anybody can do this
(within reason). It doesn’t
matter what physical
condition they are in.” He
said the event also brings
a variety of spectators:
friends, supporters and
family all come to watch.
There is a charge to
participate in the competitive events, but kids
up to age 15 participate
free, even in the competitive events. “The biggest
thing we are trying to do
is to get more kids from
our area involved in this
event,” Coker said.
He said “Team Maddy,” consisting of Rick
Vanbeek and his disabled
daughter Maddy from
Grand Rapids, are participants. “He competes with
her in all events,” Coker
said. “They are truly
inspirational and bring
many to the event,” he
added. Pictures of Team
Maddy can be seen on the
Facebook page “Middle
O’ Mit.”
The Triathlon consists
of three events in many
different distances and
categories including first
a swimming event in

Bits & Pieces
Pat Maurer, Review Correspondent
Bruce Jenner betrayed us
Okay, now I feel
betrayed. After watching
Diane Sawyer’s celebrated
interview with Bruce Jenner, I came out in support
of the one-time sports icon,
now transgender.
My opinion piece got a
lot of response, and believe
it or not, in conservative,
rural Mid-Michigan, most
who commented were
favorable towards Bruce
Jenner’s transformation.
These were readers, like
me, who really didn’t know
anyone who is transgender,
but believe people have a
right to be who they want
to be.
For me it was somewhat
of an awakening. I never
bothered to delve in to
transgenderism and the issues that surrounded those
that chose to live a life that
many scorned. One lady
came up to my office to explain some of those issues.
Her son had just become a
daughter, and boy did that
cause waves with family
and friends. Although the
family eventually accepted
their new daughter, it
wasn’t the case with many
friends and acquaintances.
The problems she and her
family faced were heartbreaking.
I believed Bruce Jenner
was sincere, and the perfect
advocate for the transgender community. Before the
interview aired, I thought
Jenner was simply seeking
publicity and prepping for
another reality show. Once
I began watching, however, my opinion changed.
I now saw a man who truly
believed he was a woman,
and wasn’t looking to
exploit his celebrity status
one iota.
I was wrong. Here
comes Vanity Fair, and
there is Caitlyn Jenner
(once my hero, Bruce Jenner) adorning the cover,
wearing a Versace (or
something similar) white
gown, with large breasts
spilling out of the top. He,
oops she, looked like a pinup queen or a glamorous
cover-girl.
I couldn’t help but think
the cover picture was some
kind of spoof. But then I
realized it was Mad Magazine, it was the respected
Vanity Fair. Jenner, who
had told Sawyer that he
had no interest being at the
forefront of the transgender
cause, was now doing what
he said he wouldn’t.
I now realize this was
all a set-up. The Vanity
Fair cover was probably
shot before the interview.
These covers do take time,
you know. The interview,
and now the cover were
carefully timed to make
Jenner a household word,
much like it was back in
Letters
The start of summer
the days of his Olympic
triumphs.
I hope I am wrong. The
transgender community
needs to be heard. We need
to accept them as normal
human beings tackling
life’s challenges just like
you and I. I don’t think
they want to be singled
out. I don’t think they
want special treatment.
They simply want to be
accepted.
I’m not sure Bruce, or
now Caitlyn, Jenner is
helping their cause. I think
the Vanity Fair splash only
serves to exploit transgender people. It certainly
helps Jenner in his quest
for more notoriety, but others, not so much.
I wish Jenner would
have stuck to her word.
She could have made great
strides for the transgender
community by focusing on
the issues and not herself. I
guess I was probably right
in the first place. Jenner’s
motive is that new spin-off
from The Kardashians. I
can see it coming to our
television screens soon.
Widespread Political Corruption
Dear Editor:
The TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) free trade
agreement that is so secret
that no notes can be taken
in the meetings by our
elected officials. Even Independent Senator Bernie
Sanders says that even his
lawyers are not allowed to
look at the documents.
Here is a prime example
of the trans national corporations taking over our
political system and these
elected officials of ours
have allowed this to get to
this point in our country
because they accepted millions of dollars in political contributions for their
campaigns, so they sold
their souls for the love of
money.
The result of this is
widespread corruption
of our political system.
Look at the Republican
party that just says no to
everything that pertains
to the middleclass in our
country, but says yes to the
banksters and corporations
that are destroying this
country simply because
of their greed. These trade
agreements benefit the
wealthy and will continue
to outsource our factories
and jobs.
Unions in this country
are united against this TPP.
We in this country need to
unite together with these
unions and continue the
fight against these horrible
trade agreements.
What’s happening here
is the Trans National Corporations are being granted
authority over Governments.
The 5 Supreme Court
Republicans passed
Citizens United stating
Corporations are people
and unlimited campaign
contributions can be
poured in from anywhere
and the campaign donors
do not have to be revealed.
The TPP is a direct
result from this, also The

New rules - no more
growth antibiotics
Dear Editor:
Last Tuesday, President
Obama directed federal
agencies to serve antibiotic-free meat and poultry in
government cafeterias. The
FDA will require animal
producers to obtain authorization from a licensed
veterinarian to use drugs
to treat a specific disease,
rather than just to promote
rapid growth, as is current
practice. As much as 80%
of all U.S. antibiotics are
used in animal agriculture
(1).
The moves come amid
growing concern about the
link between routine
antibiotic use in animal
agriculture and human
infections by bacteria

that have developed resistance to antibiotics because
of their excessive use.
The CDC estimates that
antibiotic resistance causes
2 million illnesses per year
in the U.S. and 23,000
deaths. It also adds $20 illion per year in health care
costs and $35 billion in
lost productivity (2). And

While government agencies reduce antibiotics in

available in every supermarket.
These foods contain all

Mount Pleasant,
The
Sitting in the living
room the other evening
we were treated to another
episode in the local newborn fawn saga. Our newest resident out here on the
Tobacco was playing the
in back yard…with Mama
nearby I am sure.
This morning the show
outside our window was
all about chipmunks. We
have noticed a couple
“scrapping” over the territory under the bird feeder
nearly every day. This
morning there were four of
those cute little critters out
there sharing the bounty,
and now there are a couple
of holes -- tunnels right in
front of the deck.
I don’t know if they
are the culprits or not,
but I also noticed that
the vine cutting, a gift
from niece-in-law Margo,
that I brought home and
planted along the fence
in the backyard has been
“cropped” nearly to the
ground. She has the “hops”
intertwined along the
porch on one side of her
house and they look great.
I’d hoped to get them to
grow through our chain
link fence out back and
mask the propane tank a
bit, but I may have to beg
for another “cutting” next
time we head up north.
Guess it is time to try
and lower the “chippy”
population around here,
but they are so cute to
watch! Jack, who doesn’t
want to kill them either,
is going to see if he can
find a “live trap” or two
and maybe we will try
relocating them to a less
residential area nearby.
Aside from the annual chores – mowing,
trimming, clean up and
planting – it is a great
time of year. Every week
something new blooms
around the yard. The lilacs are done now, but the
snowball bushes are now
loaded with blossoms and
my purple iris are showing off their finery down
on the riverbank.
What I call “Sara’s Peonies” are about to bloom
again too. Since we were
first married and bought a
house with a row of these
massive showy blooms, I
have loved that particular
flower and wanted them
up here too. Unfortunately, when I planted them,
all I ever got was a few
sprigs. Then friend Sara
showed up with a batch
of “roots” and showed
me how to do it. Seems
you barely cover them
with soil. Sure enough
they grew and after just a
few years started sporting
blooms in June.
Sara doesn’t live here
anymore but we keep in
touch and I try and send
her pictures when her
beautiful flowers bloom
in my yard.
It’s been a good spring
so far for growing things.
Will all of the rain we’ve
had lately, everything is
lush and green. The down
side of the scenario is that
the grass grows an inch
or two every few days it
seems and the mower –
and poor Jack – has been
put to the test keeping up
with it. Lately the grass is
a few points ahead I think.
The temptation was
there a few weeks ago and
I bought some seeds and
planted a little garden. We
haven’t done that lately,
but now there are four half
barrels right behind the
garage and with luck and,
if I remember to weed and
water, we will have a few
vegetables on the table
later on. I planted some
tomatoes, green beans, lettuce and onions. Now we
will see how it goes.
I am a big advocate of
“square foot gardening and
for several years we had
veggies in an old bathtub,
a barrel and a couple of
four by four raised beds
just outside the fenced in
area. Since the wildlife enjoyed more of the bounty
than we did, our newest attempt is “inside” the fence
where I thought it would
be safe.
Guess what? Yesterday
I spotted a big bunny –
also inside the fence – and
watched him escape by
squeezing through an
impossible little space by
the gate.

Jack is fond of telling me,
“They have to eat too…”
Financial Focus
By Don Chiodo
Does your plan
need a makeover?
Generally, you feel
better – more confident
– when you’re sporting
a new look. Sometimes,
even the smallest changes
can make a big difference
in your attitude. Doesn’t
your investment plan deserve the same kind of attention? After all, someday
it’s going to be taking care
of you!
A typical annual review
compares your portfolio’s annual performance
against broad benchmarks
such as the S&P 500 Index.
But Wells Fargo Advisors
clients can perform a more
valuable analysis by incorporating that traditional
review into the Envision®
planning process.
Rather than simply
comparing results against
impersonal benchmarks, an
Envision year-end review
analyzes your portfolio’s
performance in the context
of your own goals and
priorities. To help put your
financial priorities in perspective, ask yourself the
following three questions:
Have my priorities
changed with my life?
Your investing strategy
is built around long-term
goals. But priorities can
change with major life
events such as getting married, having a baby, getting
a divorce, or taking a new
job.
If you’ve experienced
a major life change in the
last year or so, consider its
impact on your financial

priorities. For example, if
you welcomed a child or
grandchild into your family this year, starting a college savings fund might be
a significant new priority.
Because the Envision
process is built on prioritizing numerous financial
goals, you’ll be in a good
position to make adjustments and accommodate
new, more pressing priorities.
Am I still on the same
page with my money
goals?
Once you’ve reviewed
your goals and priorities,
examine whether your
portfolio’s returns are
keeping you on track to
meet them. The Envision
process makes it easy to
gauge your progress from
year to year.
Does my plan need a
new look too?
Changes to your investing strategy will depend,
in part, on the answers to
the previous two questions. But even if your
priorities haven’t changed
and you’re making good
progress toward your goals,
it’s still important to review
your asset allocation and
investment strategy.
A regular review and
rebalancing is important
to help any portfolio stay
on track. And even if you
make only minor tweaks,
you will avoid a common
pitfall for many investors:
never updating the plan
they’ve created. “Change is
the number one thing that
clients have to manage,”
Shiveley says. “So it’s
good to check in at least
on an annual basis to say,
‘Hey, this plan isn’t done
-- it’s ever-evolving.’”

Adele (Kiddo) Rose
Allen - age 79 of Clare
passed away peacefully at
her home surrounded by
her family, on Tuesday,
May 26, 2015. Adele was
born Adele Rose Schoff, in
Detroit Michigan on July 7,
1935 to parents Delbert and
Viola (Bowerman) Schoff.
On October 3, 1953 Adele

in Lake Orion and together
they raised four children
eventually settling in Clare,
Michigan where she lived
for most of her adult life.
Adele was an avid swimmer, horsewoman, gardener

kept an open door for any
person or animal in need.
In addition to being warm
and kind, she was extremely bright and artistic. As
a teen, she was offered a
scholarship to the prestigious Detroit Institute of

riding horses. Adele was a
gentle and patient teacher

12-5 and allowing Clare to
celebrate its’ championship
on its home field.
The Pioneers took a
10-1 lead through four
innings and held off a mini
Beaverton rally late in the
game for the win.
Max Swan got the
win, tossing six innings
and giving up five runs,
two earned on six hits, 10
strikeouts and four walks.
Camden Dice pitched the
Continued on page 3B seventh inning to close the
game out.
Mason Packard led the
offense with two hits with
Connor Clickner, Swan,
Gabe Denton and Dice
got the third out of the inning on a strikeout.
The Hornets finally plated a run in the bottom of
the fifth inning, as Alyssa
Bennett led off the inning
with a walk. The next two
batters popped out on bunt
attempts and it looked like
this opportunity might slip
by as well. Cullen came to
the rescue with a double to
right field that put runners
on second and third and
after a walk to Lipovsky
loaded the bases, Allen hit
a ball just past the diving
Beaverton second baseman
to crack the scoreboard at
1-0.
The Beavers went down
in order in the top of the
sixth inning as the first two
adding one hit apiece.
The Pioneers had to
survive a scare from Harrison in the semi-final game
earlier in the day.
Harrison plated four
runs, led by a Thomas
Nunnally two run double
that landed in right field.
Max Swan and Ben
Bates had hits that drove in
Charlie Bugbee and Camden Dice and in the fifth
Mason Packard made it 4-3
and second with no outs.
After Fowler and Jackson advanced to third and
second on a passed ball,
Fowler managed to score
on an error and Thomas
Nunnally made it 7-6 on a
fly ball that nearly got over
the center fielders head.
Then with one out, Clare
got a game-ending 6-4-3
double play.
Dice was credited with
the win for Clare as he
tossed four and two-third
innings giving up three
runs on two hits and five
strikeouts.
Zach Anderson suffered the loss, pitching six
innings and giving up five
earned runs on eight hits,
three strikeouts and nine
walks.
Gabe Denton had two
hits to lead the Clare offense with Charlie Bugbee,
Dice, Swan, Bates and Vida
all getting one hit each.
Jackson had two hits for
the Hornets and Anderson,
Nunnally, Brody Lewis and
Justice Walraven all had
one hit each.

K’s in the game.
Allen finished with two
hits and two RBI, Lipovsky and Cullen had one
double each with Willman,

topping Clare 1-0.
Lipovsky tossed seven

innings of shut out ball
and struck out 13 batters.
Harrison got its lone run
in the fourth inning, where
Fletcher reached base with
a two out double. Katelynn Mogg hit a ground
ball on the infield but an
error allowd her to reach
base and more importantly
allowed Fletcher to come
around and score the
game’s only run.
Bailey Carbeno pitched
well in the loss for the
Pioneers, giving up one
unearned run on three hits,
seven strikeouts and one
walk.
Harrison (28-8) continues its season on Saturday

Stabilize the
right leg for
more
consistency
“Right leg float” is a
common flaw I see in many
of my student’s swings.
Ideally in the backswing
the right leg (right handers)
acts as a brace in which the
upper body turns against.
Bracing the leg helps
control the backswing
by limiting unnecessary
movement. Often times
I see either the right leg
swaying back or the right
knee losing its flex. These
movements lead to fat or
thin contact, stray shots,
and reduce power.
There are a few different
ways to practice your right
leg backswing motion.
First, you can hit shots
making sure your right
knee is keeping its flex to
the top of the backswing.
Next try burying a ball
half way in the ground.
Stand on the ball so that
the outside of your right
foot is on the ball and your
instep is on the ground. Hit
balls from this position.
The weight will stay on
the instep in the backswing
which in turn keeps your
leg braced. Lastly you can
try hitting some balls while
pointing the toes of your
right foot inward toward
the ball. This position
greatly inhibits the movement of the right leg.
Many times less is more
in golf and this is true with
the movement of the right
leg in the backswing. If
you find your right leg is
floating on the backswing,
give the fore mentioned
drills/thoughts a try. Consistency and power will be
the reward for this swing
improvement.

Lady Eagles upset in district semis
It was cold. It was rainy.
It was a season ending 9-2
loss. Saturday was a bad
day in what was otherwise a good season for
the Farwell Lady Eagle
softball team, as they lost
to Beaverton at the division
three regional at Clare.
Things started off well
for Farwell, as Alysha
Luster and Kate Saupe
both doubled and scored in
the first inning to give the
Eagles an early 2-0 lead.
Saupe was dominant in
the pitcher’s circle through
the first three innings but
as the rain fell harder and
harder the Beaverton bats
woke up in the bottom of
the fourth, where it scored
seven runs to take control
of the game.
The Beavers reached
base on a couple of walks,
infield hits and a couple
of plays the Eagles just
couldn’t quite make in
what turned into a nightmare inning. The Beavers
then added single runs in
the fifth and sixth innings
to bring the muddy final
score to 9-2.
Shortly after the comple-
tion of the game it was announced that the championship game would be pushed
back to Monday as field
conditions had become too
poor to continue play.
Luster finished with a
double and a single, Saupe
had a double with Kelsey
Seiter and Dani Hanna adding one hit each.
The Eagles finish the
season 29-9 and won their
first Jack Pine Conference
championship since 1978.

The Clare varsity
track teams capped off
another strong season on
Saturday, as both squads
competed at the division three state finals at
Comstock Park.
“We were a little
unsure of some obvious
gaps at the beginning of
the season,” boys’ head
coach Adam Burhans
said. “We were hurting
in some veteran positions that were normally
strong, but kids stepped
up and filled in the holes
like always. Between
that and some slight
injury bugs, this turned
out to be a pretty good
team.”
Levi Boynton took 11th
in the boys’ shot put with
a heave of 47-02.50,
Chase Field took ninth
in the pole vault at 13-00
and Alex Dysinger was
22nd in the long jump.
Kevin Spicer-Torres was
16th in the 800, Kyler
Phillips was 19th in the

Schuh’s celebrate 30 years in cleaning business
The Clare County Review - June 5, 2015 - Page 5B
Schuh’s Services®
has put in a lot of hard
work over the years, and
is proudly celebrating its
30th year in business!
Schuh’s Janitorial Service
was founded by Bill and
Lori Schuh in Harrison, on
March 5, 1985. Their locally-owned and operated
business began providing
Clare and Gladwin County
businesses with commercial cleaning services. The
business was one of the
first janitorial companies in
the county.
In the early-2000s, the
company added many
services and changed to its
current name, eventually
adding their trademarked
“We Clean It Up®” to
the company’s marketing
campaign.
Attention to detail,
prompt service and customer satisfaction are the
keys to Schuh’s Services®
continued growth. Many
changes in the industry
have taken place over the
years, and their company has adapted to those
changes well.
Thirty years later, the
company has grown into
a thriving service business providing, among
other things, janitorial
and maintenance services,
residential and commercial carpet, furniture and
air duct cleaning, commercial floor refinishing
and maintenance, and
restoration services to all
of Mid Michigan and the
surrounding region. Most
recently the company incorporated equipment and
cleaning supply sales and
training to its offerings.
The company attributes
its continued success to
their solid base of loyal
customers and wonderful
staff who are the lifeblood
of their business.
“Our staff is very hard
working” says Lori, “they
are loyal and dedicated.”
Lori continued by stating
that “Many of our customers have been with the
company since it began.”
The company has
also done well due to the
early increase in business
through differentiating
themselves from competitors by providing person-
alized attention to detail
and specialized customer
service. In addition, they
have been flexible and
expand their offerings to
accommodate the needs of
their customers.
“The future is very
bright here,” says Bill.
“We have expanded our
brand and implemented
new products and services
that hold good potentials
for expanding our markets. Our staffing needs
have been filled with very
competent, quality conscious individuals who
are providing our customers consistent results and
outstanding customer
service.”
The business is community driven, investing
in the communities they
do business in. They also
still give back to the community as they have since
the beginning, sponsoring
and volunteering for local
events and organizations,
and more recently, helping
to build and maintain websites for local non-profits
and organizations.
Schuh’s Services®
offers everything from
carpet, furniture and air
duct cleaning, janitorial
and maintenance services,
restoration services, equipment and supply sales and
more. To find out more

Pitchford was born in
Farwell on October 31,
1928 and lived there all
her life until her death on
May 7, 2012 at the age of
85. The booklet dedication says, “She was a
longtime member of the
museum and had always
wanted a walking tour to
help people remember
Farwell in days gone by.
This is our loving tribute
to Marilyn.”
Twenty-nine historical
sites, with vintage pictures from the museum
are featured in the book,
which includes a description and photo of the first
house in the Village built
by George Hitchcock. A
map of the different site
locations is on the back
cover with a code (used
on each description in the
book) denoting whether
the building is still standing, has only foundations or no longer exists.
Even the original county
courthouse is featured. No
picture was available but
a drawing was found of
the building, which was
located next to the old
hotel, finally known as the
Parkview.
A special Open House
is planned from 12 to 4
p.m. on Saturday, June
20 to dedicate the new
tour booklet. Refreshments will be served. The
booklets will be available
there. A small donation
is asked for the books to
help defray the publishing
costs.

M.N.R.T.F. project grants have
been approved for a total of
more than 1 billion dollars in all
83 Michigan counties. In the
new book, Westbrook takes the
reader on a tour of places to play
in each county made possible by
the M.N.R.T.F., with a history of
each county’s name origin and
its’ rank in population, land, number of M.N.R.T.F. grants (with list) and grant totals of each county.
Westbrook will be on hand at
