Barbershop quartet serenades
loved ones on Valentine’s Day
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
“I tell people, ‘It’s
Valentine’s Day and my
husband is out singing to
other women’,” said Ruth
Ann Wissinger. She smiled
and quickly added, “But he
has sung to me many times
and it is still a huge thrill
for me.”
Ruth’s husband is Denny
Wissinger, a member of
ABSQ, what he calls “the
best [Barbershop] Quartet
in the Chorus.”
Denny and his fellow
members of the quartet
usually spend all day long
[this year two days, February 13 and 14] singing to
Phil Strouse is Tenor, Rod
Koutz is Lead and Dale
Kemler is Bass in ABSQ.
Denny is the only member
of the quartet who lives
in Clare County, although
the quartet performs most
often here.
Denny has been singing
with a Barbershop Quartet
for nineteen years. He said
the quartets have been doing singing Valentines for
about 20 years. “We usually do 12 to 20 of those
each year,” he said.
ABSQ and the whole
Chorus also does programs
for many organizations,
nursing homes, and for
special events throughout
the year. They performed
at Farwell’s Cabin Fever
Show last year, he said.
The money they make
goes toward school and
youth choral programs
around Gratiot County,
where their “Chorus” is
based.
He said he became
interested when he first
heard an International
Championship Quartet
perform while he was
stationed with the Army in
Florida. “I started attending concerts, and then we
married and moved to
northern Virginia, where
we lived until retirement.”
After 21 years in the
service, he retired from the

Brewin’ On McEwan opens in downtown Clare
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
After months of renovations and preparation,
Clare’s new Brewin’ On
McEwan is open for business.
The new restaurant and
pub, located in the north
half of the Maxwell’s
Flowers Building on the
corner of Fifth and McEwan, opened quietly nearly
two weeks ago on January
26, owner Steve Barnes
reported.
“It is going well,”
Barnes reported, “or as
well as we can expect
without much ‘fanfare’ at
the opening.”
Brewin’ offers an “eclectic menu,” Barnes said.
“Our chef is Jimmy Widner
who has opened restaurants
all over including in Ann
Arbor, Jackson and Hillsdale. He is experienced in
fine dining.”
Besides a wide selection
of Michigan Craft beers
and fine wines, Brewin’
offers a wide selection of
lunch and dinner specialties. “Nothing is deep
fried,” Barnes said, “and
everything is prepared
here.”
Examples from their
lunch menu include wraps,
salads, Panini sandwiches
burritos and homemade
soups with daily specials
and their famous “coffee
bar.” They also offer carryout. A couple of unique
offerings are the “Caprese
Panini” with fresh baked
French bread, house made
pesto, herbed tomatoes,
fresh mozzarella and basil
and drizzled with balsamic;
or their “Barbacoa Wrap”
with shredded beef, cheddar cheese and cilantro –
and Jalapenos by request.
The dinner menu offers
a choice of five appetizers and eight entrees. For
seafood lovers there’s a

Taylor has more than 35
years with McDonalds, and
eight years experience as
an owner/operator of McDonald’s restaurants. Her
eight restaurants employ
more than 420 people.
“Shrimp Tribecca” which
features jumbo shrimp
stuffed with bacon and
cheddar, wrapped in a puff

“My favorite is the “Pork

That’s thin-sliced, tenderized pork loin, stuffed with
Boursin cheese, lightly
breaded and served with a
red wine Demi-Glace.
Brewin’ is open Monday
through Saturday from
7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on
Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. “Reservations are not
required, but are encouraged,” said Barnes.
The number to call is

CCAC, Depot awarded $52k for renovations
The City of Clare, in
partnership with the Clare
County Arts Council and
the Clare Railroad Depot Committee, has been
awarded a grant of $51,874
from the State of Michigan
Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA).
The grant was awarded
through the MCACA peer
review process and was
one of 494 applications to
compete for MCACA fiscal year 2015 funding.
The grant funds will
used to rehabilitate a portion of the historic Clare
Railroad Depot to create a
first-ever, permanent site
and address for the Clare
County Arts Council,
which presently borrows
and uses locations and
spaces throughout Clare
County for its meetings,
art and education training classes, and its many,
highly diversified art and
culture programs.
Completion of the
project will greatly enhance the Clare County
Arts Council’s ability to
strengthen its existing art
and cultural programs;
expand and create new
programs; and enable a
greater outreach of and for
those programs.
Organizations receiving a MCACA grant are
required to match those
funds with other public
and private dollars. To
complete this portion of
the capital project, the
Clare Railroad Depot
Committee will contribute
nearly $80,000 and the
local business and private
community will volunteer
Clare to be back up site for county data
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Clare City Commissioner approved an Intergovernmental Agreement that
would allow the County to
back up data on the City’s
network server in the Public Safety Building.
The agreement will
allow the County to use
the mutually shared fiber
optics communication network. Steven Kingsbury,
Director of Information
Technology said, “This
type of technology sharing is another example of
the cost-sharing initiatives
that we envisioned when
first started the installation
of the county-wide fiber
network.”
He said the agreement
would allow the county
to install their equipment
to receive and maintain
a backup of the County’s
computer data files.
The Commission also
were introduced to two
new probationary firefighters Chris Cooper and
Kevin Wilber. Chief Jim
Chapman reported that the
fire department has lost
five firefighters recently.
He said the two will be on
the department for a year
before the City pays for
training for them.
Commissioners approved an increase in the
Probationary Firefighter
pay from $8.15 to $10
per hour with additional
incremental increases upon
completion of training.
Chapman also discussed
the fact that all firefighters,
regardless of the length of
time they have been with
the department, are paid the
same rate for calls. He said
he would like to see a “step
increase” for firefighters,
and would be working
towards developing that.
The City held a Public
Hearing and the first reading of a zoning change
requested by the Great
Lakes Mennonite Church,
who is planning to establish a church and school on
the “Old Valcast Property”
at 720 Ann Arbor Trail.
City Manager Ken Hibl
reported that the Church
has outgrown its present
building on Mary Street.
In other business Monday evening, The Commission:
*Accepted the $51,874
grant from the Michigan
Council for the Advancement of Culture and Art
to rehabilitate the basement of the Clare Railroad
Depot as a home for the
Clare County Arts Council.
The Depot Committee has
funds available to provide
the required local match of
$52,874.
*Approved a contractor’s payment to Dunigan
Brothers for $91,695.62
and another payment to
Maguire Iron, Inc. for
$33,250.00.
*Excused Mayor Pat
Humphrey from the next
two meetings.
*Discussed the upcoming proposal in May to
raise the State Sales Tax to
7 cents with several other
measures. They determined
that the May ballot would
not be a good time to
schedule a proposed street
millage for the city.
*Approved the payment of bills totaling
$154,262.75.
nearly $30,000 in professional trade skills, labor,
and sweat-equity.
The local match funds
for this project are available due to the generous
donations and outstanding
support from the Greater
Clare Area Community. Major contributors include
the MidMichigan Community Action Agency, Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow
Foundation, the Rollin M.
Strosacker Foundation,
the Clare County Community Foundation, the DTE
Foundation, Chemical
Bank, Chicago Vessel Fueling Company, the Clare
Irish Committee, the Clare
County Arts Council, AJ
& Sandy Doherty, Robert
Knapp, Anna Pryor, the
Saginaw Chippewa Indian
Tribe of Michigan, and
innumerable businesses
and individuals who are
committed to local historic
preservation and share
a passion for promotion
of local art and culture
programs.
Fund-raising efforts for
this and all projects related
to the preservation and
rehabilitation of the historic Clare RR Depot are
ongoing and are primarily
attributed to the dedicated
efforts of the Clare Depot
Committee, the Clare Area
Arts Council, the Clare
Area Chamber of Commerce, and a local group
of railroad aficionados. • 2” and 4” Well Repair • 5” PVC Wells Drilled

Musings
Michael Wilcox, Publisher/Editor
Reflecting on Roger, a
great columnist
A couple of weeks
ago I lost a friend and a
contributing writer. Roger
Campbell had written a
spiritual column for dozens
of newspapers I have edited over the last 30 years.
His many themes helped
me and others to gain a better sense of being through
God’s word.
I met Roger when I was
a young man editing and
publishing one of my first
newspapers in Clarkston,
Michigan. The thin, nicely
dressed, graying man in his
late 40’s wanted to write a
devotional column. He was
pastor at the local Waterford Community Church,
and thought he could contribute a weekly piece that
would be read by many.
Always skeptical, I wondered if the column would
be used to promote his
church. He said no. I said
it couldn’t be too religious
and really had to be nondenominational. He heartily agreed. I said send me
a couple of samples and I
will consider running thembut I’m not going to pay
you I added. He agreed.
He also added, “Stop
calling me Reverend
Campbell.” I want you and
everyone else to simply
call me “Roger.” I thought
that was really “cool” as
a young person with no
particular affinity to titles
like Rev., or Dr.
Now I’m pitched on a
weekly basis from wouldbe columnists who want
to write about this topic
or that. I never have to tell
them “no.” I simply ask
them to write a couple of
samples. Very few people
follow through. But Roger
had a couple of examples
on my desk the very next
day. And once I read
through them I knew he
was a natural-born writer,
and someone who would
be read by many.
I wasn’t the only newspaper publisher to consider
him talented. Soon Roger’s
column “Reflections on
Faith” was running in a
dozen newspapers, then
50, and I am proud to say,
his byline appears weekly
in over 100 newspapers
across the United States.
Additionally Campbell
has written a dozen books
about staying positive,
weight loss, alcoholism,
marriage and how to make
your church a better place
to worship.
His calling also took
him to the radio waves.
He has a daily radio show
entitled “Higher Ground”
that appears on 7 radio stations, mostly in Michigan,
but some as far away as
Utah. He is also a dynamic
speaker, appearing at hundreds of churches, offering
a simple message to congregations. He asked them

Immense potential lurks
within each of us waiting
to be used for the glory of
God and the good of others.
Unfortunately, much of
this vast reservoir of talent
and energy remains unused
because of the fear of failure.
Perhaps you’re one of these
reluctant ones.
Opportunity keeps knocking but you’re afraid to open
the door. Highly talented
people make you feel inferior so you retreat from meaningful service to your church
and community. You’d like
to get involved but are afraid
to take the risk. Consider a
few others who might have
been overcome by the fear of
failure had they listened to
their critics and surrendered
to their doubts.
Einstein couldn’t speak
until he was four years old
and didn’t read until he was
seven.
Beethoven’s music
teacher said of him: “As a
composer he’s hopeless.”
Thomas Edison’s teacher
said he was unable to learn.
Walt Disney was once
fired by a newspaper editor
because he was thought to be
without ideas.
Caruso was told by one
music teacher: “You can’t
sing. You have no voice at
all.”
An editor said Louisa
Mae Alcott, who wrote “Little Women,” would never
be able to write anything that
would have popular appeal.
Dwight L. Moody, now
considered one of the most
effective evangelists of all
time, had but a fifth grade
education and once wept
The
before an audience, saying
“God forgive a man who
cannot properly speak the
English language.”
The disciples of Jesus
were without impressive
credentials, being called
ignorant and unlearned, but
their contemporaries found
it impossible to ignore them
because their lives demonstrated they had found something others needed. Their
dedication, courage and faith
made them world changers
(Acts 17:6).
God seems to enjoy using
weak but willing people
to do great things to the
amazement of those who are
thought to be better qualified. The following title of a
book I noticed in a pastor’s
library once caught my eye
and lingers in my memory:
“Why God Uses Nobodies.”
Though I’ve never read the
book, its challenging title
keeps encouraging me to
attempt things I might have
thought too difficult for me
to do.
I once asked a farmer if
he would like to preach a
sermon in the church where I
was the pastor. He surprised
me by his quick acceptance
of my offer, saying, “I’ve
promised the Lord that I
would accept every opportunity for service that he
sends to me.” That attitude
and commitment finally led
him from his farm to South
America where he served as
a missionary for many years.
Have you been afraid to
get involved?
Do you feel incapable
of accomplishing anything
important?

Cooking & Recipes
Carol Cope
What’s cooking?
With this cold, cold
weather, I will do a soup
recipe that will warm your
heart.
BLACK BEAN SOUP
1 lb. Dried black beans, rinsed
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
2 Red or Green peppers, chopped (3 cups)
1 Large onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 Carrot, diced (1/2
cup)
4 Garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 Normal can tomatoes
1 3/4 tsp. Dried oregano
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 Cans (13.75 oz.) Fat
free chicken broth
1 Bay leaf
2 tsp. Vinegar - Sherry
wine
Cilantro sprigs
In a pot over high
heat combine beans with
enough water to cover by
two (2) inches. Bring to
boil, cook five (5) minutes. Remove from heat, let
stand one (1) hour. Drain
and rinse beans, set aside.
In a pot heat oil over
medium heat. Add
peppers, onions, carrots,
the first week of what always feels to me to be the
longest month of the year.
There are a few positives that go along with
our recent bout of cold
weather. If you were out
and about Tuesday morning, you might have seen
some pretty fabulous frost
out there. Every tree and
bush was loaded with
icing, especially along
the Tobacco. Jack, who is
recuperating nicely from
hip surgery three weeks
ago, had an early doctor’s
appointment, so we had a
chance to check it out and
take a couple of pictures.
Then there’s the fact
that we seem to be having
more sunny days than
normal this time of year,
even when the thermometer drops out of sight.
With one week gone,
that means there’s only
three more weeks of
Fabulous February to get
through now and if the
Almanac is right we might
even get a little break and
warmer weather for that
last week before Muddy
old March arrives again,
although if the Almanac is
right, we might be seeing
quite a bit of snow rather
than mud that month.
By the time March
arrives, everybody is sick
and tired of winter. I’m
actually tired of it by January 2...
When the days get
short, I guess I get grumpy.
There’s not much stepping
outside for a little break in

Five investing
mistakes you
don’t have to
make
It’s easy to have confidence in investments made
during bull markets: share
prices climb and any losses
from poor decisions are
usually recovered quickly.
But times of increasing
market volatility tend to
magnify mistakes, and
many investors may lose
confidence in their decision-making. Let’s take a
quick look at some of these
common — but generally
avoidable — mistakes.
1. Timing the marketDuring a downturn in the
market, investors who
regularly contributed to
their portfolios when the
market was rising often decide to stop investing until
conditions improve. This
can prove to be a costly
mistake.
Not only is it difficult to
time the ups and downs of
the market with consistent
success — by sitting on the
sidelines during a down
market, you could miss out
on an opportunity to buy
stocks and other investments at lower prices.
2. Skipping the researchDetermining whether an
investment is appropriate
for your portfolio requires
research. There are more
companies and investment
products to invest in today
than ever before, and you
need to gather information
before you can determine
which investments might
have potential for growth.
Not only can doing your
homework help you to
make informed investment
decisions, it can also help
you to feel comfortable
with the holding in spite of
temporary ups and downs.
3. Chasing past perfor-
mance. Yesterday’s hot
stock may have already
topped out. Today’s innovative start-up may not
have the wherewithal to
stay in business. So it’s
important to base investment decisions on more
than past performance and
a few headlines.
4. Trading too oftenFrequent trading often
reduces the total return of
your portfolio. In addition to the trading fees and
taxes that it may incur,
frequent trading does not
reflect a long-term outlook
and thoughtful investment
strategies — neither timing
the market nor running
from losses enhances your
portfolio’s performance.
5. Selling low, or not at
all. Before selling a stock
or investment product that
has tumbled, it’s important
to do some additional research to understand why it
fell. This research will help
you anticipate the holding’s potential for recovery.
If the setback appears to
result from a temporary
problem that can be easily
overcome, you may even
want to consider buying
more while the price is low.

Bless, Carol Jean If you left assets from a 401(k) plan with your previous
employer, consider an IRA rollover with Wells Fargo
Advisors. Please keep in mind that rolling over assets
to an IRA is just one of multiple options for your
retirement plan. Each option has different
advantages, disadvantages, investment options, and
fees & expenses which should be understood and
carefully considered. The costs of investing and
maintaining assets in an IRA with us will generally
involve higher costs than the other options available
to you. We recommend you consult with your current
plan administrator before making any decisions
regarding your retirement assets. As one of the
nation’s largest and most experienced IRA providers,
together we can find the right strategy to help meet
your goals.

Obituary
Herman V. Blaylock
Herman V. Blaylock went
peacefully to his Lord and
Savior on January 1, 2015 with
family members by his side. He was born
on August 26,
1926 in Clifty,
Tennessee to
John and Mary
Blaylock who
preceded him in
death. He was
also preceded
in death by the
love of his life,
his wife of 60
years, Una Mae
Blaylock in
April of 2012.
Life was never
the same for
him after she
passed away.
He was also
preceded in death by a daughter
Ruthann and two brothers James
and Willie.
He was born and raised in his
beloved “Hills of Tennessee”.
He was drafted into World
War 2 and served honorably in
the U.S. Army in the Pacific
campaign. One of our families
best stories is when he returned
from the war, he went back
to High School from age 21
to 25 to earn his diploma. He
then left Tennessee in 1950 and
moved to Michigan to work at
the Chrysler Corporation where
he worked for almost 30 years
before retiring. In Michigan is
where he met Una Mae and they
started their life together. After
many years living in the Detroit
area, they retired near Clare,
Michigan, and built a home
on Five Lakes and lived there
for 32 years. Herman loved his
home, Church, and the greatest
friends he could ask for down
state and in the Clare area. He loved his hobbies, and there
were many. He loved to collect

what were treasures to only
him. Deer hunting, playing
golf, play his guitar, sing and
travel. His most treasured
were spending
the summers
with his
grandchildren.
His travels were
all over the
United States,
and in Europe
where he and
Mae were able
to visit their son
while stationed
in many places
in the U.S.
Air Force. His favorite
however was
his yearly trip to
Florida where
he and Mae
spent the winters and visited
and enjoyed their daughter
and wonderful friends. His
wife’s stroke, and his dementia
brought them to Colorado
Springs, Colorado where he
spent the last four years of his
life living with his son, and
assisted living facilities. He
was a wonderful and loving
husband, father, grandfather and
friend. His family misses him
very much, but is comforted
knowing he is now with his
wife and all the family and
friends that went before him.
Herman is survived by his
daughter Jacqueline McGowen
of Stuart, Florida, son
Dennis and wife Christel of
Colorado Springs, Colorado;
grandchildren Jeff and Mark
McGowen, Melissa O’Leary
and husband Chris, Jennifer
Andersen, Garrett Chandler,
and Grant Chandler and wife
Nichole. He had four great
grandchildren, Ashley, Allison
and Carson O’Leary, and Liam
McGowen. A memorial is set
up in his name at the Farwell
Methodist Church.

Clare prepares for showdown with #1 Beaverton
By Ben Murphy
Clare outscored host
Gladwin in ever quarter
of its Jack Pine Conference boys’ basketball game
Friday night, picking up a
66-53 win.
“I thought we played a
great game on the road,”
Clare head coach Rob Wise
said. “The whole team came
together and every time
Gladwin made a run at us,
we answered.”
The Pioneers opened the
game with a 13-8 lead after
the first quarter and pulled
ahead 28-20 at the half.
Clare then increased its lead
slightly to 45-35 entering the
fourth, where the Pioneers
used a 21-18 scoring edge to
finish off the win.
Connor Clickner led
Clare with 17 points, hitting
five threes along the way and
also had four assists. Scott
Smith had 13 points and 11
rebounds and Travis Vida
had 11 points. Camden Dice
finished with nine points,
Mason Packard had seven

Hornets fall to Bobcats
By Ben Murphy
Harrison couldn’t
overcome a rough third
quarter Friday night, as its
boys’ basketball team fell
to visiting Houghton Lake
59-50.
“We played very lethargic out there,” Harrison
head coach Jim Hoshield
said. “We hung with them
in the first half and they
took over the game in the
second.”
The game was tied
9-9 after the first quarter
with the Bobcats taking a
24-19 at the half. H-L then
pushed its lead to 45-27
after a big third quarter.
Harrison did outscore
Houghton Lake 23-14 in
the fourth quarter but was
still unable to get back into
the game.
“Houghton Lake came
to play and they took it to
us hard in the second half
and we could not respond,”
Hoshield said. “Their outside shooting was on fire,
but we needed to put more
pressure on their perimeter
shooters but that spark was
not there.”
Kenny Haskell led
Harrison with 12 points,
Bret Coughlin had nine,
with Adam Scherrer and

scoring five.

Lady Eagles fall to Gladwin
By Ben Murphy
Sports Writer
The Farwell girls’ basketball team struggled on
the road Tuesday night, as
it fell to host Gladwin 5225 in Jack Pine Conference
basketball.
“I’m disappointed with
how we handled their pressure,” Farwell head coach
Goride Risbridger said.
“We have been working on
that and did not do as well
against it as I had hoped.
We didn’t shoot all that
well and we need to spend
more time on shooting.”
The Lady Flying G’s led
14-5 after the first, 28-10 at
the half and 40-20 entering
the fourth.
“The execution of our
X’s and O’s was good,
however we continue to
struggle with turnovers
and this game we gave up
too many second chance
points.”
Marissa Gassel and
Alysha Luster had seven
points apiece with Gassel
getting six rebounds. Jessie
Theisen had five points and
eight rebounds and Emily
Vaughn had two points and
six rebounds.
On Thursday, Jan. 29
Farwell played at Roscommon, falling 49-32.
Gassel and Theisen
had eight points apiece
with Gassel grabbing 11
rebounds. Vaughn put in
seven points.
Farwell (1-13 overall,
1-9 JPC) was at Houghton
Lake on Thursday and
hosts Vestaburg in a nonleague game on Tuesday.
“We have made some
big improvements this
season and I saw them after
the Roscommon game,
“Risbridger said. “Gladwin
was a step back for us. The
girls continue to work hard
and are getting better. We
know what we need to do
to get better and we are
working to do that. Obviously, we are disappointed
in our record but we have
competed in the game we
should and are looking to
pick up some wins with
some games coming down
the stretch.”

Lady Hornets can’t keep up with Beavers
By jBen Murphy
Sports Writer
The Harrison girls’ basketball team couldn’t use
home court advantage to
top Jack Pine Conference
leading Beaverton Tuesday, falling to the Lady
Beavers 44-14.
Beaverton led 14-4 after
one, 25-9 at the half and
had the game well in hand
by the end of the third
quarter, leading 38-10.
“Beaverton has only
lost one game all year and
they were just way too
quick for us,” Harrison
head coach Carl Anderson
said. “We did have a few
girls that played under the
weather and that made
us look slow and we just
couldn’t get a shot off to
save our lives.”
Lexi LaChappa led the
Hornets with four points
and five others had two
points apiece.
On Thursday, Jan. 29
the Lady Hornets played
at Houghton Lake, where
they fell 57-40. The Lady
Hornets had just eight
players as four sat out
with illness, allowing the
Lady Bobcats to get off to
a 14-5 lead after the first
quarter.
“We were two-for-19
shooting in the first quarter
and that put us in a hole
that we never really got
out of,” Anderson said.
“They scored a lot of point
sin the fourth quarter to
make the gap look pretty
big at the end, but with
only eight players we had
just run out of gas at that
point.”
After falling behind by
nine after the first Harrison
kept that deficit around
that point for most of the
night and trailed 28-17
at the half. The Hornets
had their best rally in the
third, cutting the H-L lead
to under six points but fell
back to trail 36-27 entering
the fourth.
“It would have helped
to have a full roster, we
got it down to five points
in the third quarter but you
could tell we were just laboring to stay with them,”
Anderson said.
Jessica Scherrer led
Harrison with 12 points,
Asleigh Woolston had
eight, Erika Cullen and
Aja Heber had six apiece,
Nicole Willman and Lexi
LaChappa had three each
and Dani Cullen had two.

More money comes in for diaper project

Since 2005, the Clare
County Baby Pantry, a nonprofit organization governed
by a board of directors, has
been there for those families
with diapers, clothing bedding, toys, books, food staples, gift bags for newborns
and even baby equipment
when it is available.
The Baby Pantry, founded
by the Clare Ministerial Association, operates through
fundraisers, donations, and
grants by local churches.
They need all the help
they can get. They serve the
needs of 80 to 90 families a
week, said Pastor Connie. “I
don’t think most people realize how many families are in
desperate need.”
She said earlier that every
church in the county sends
needy families to the Baby
Pantry. Two area churches,
The Clare Christ Fellowship
and the Clare Church of the
Nazarene, have held drives to
raise funds for diapers.
