The Grinzinger barn and a trailer on the corner of Crawford and Stephenson Lake Road
ended up blocking Crawford Road after tornado force winds destroyed them.
Flood waters from the Tobacco River damaged some homes east of Clare. Shown here

which drains Wraco Lake,
and that Wolf Creek drains
into the Muskegon in Clare
County near Jonesville and
Leota areas. Old US-27 was
still closed at press time
Thursday.
Becker said emergency
workers put in a 27 hour
shift when the water levels
were highest. “We have two
law enforcement units and
one Department of Natural
Resource unit monitoring
the Muskegon,” Becker
said. “The water from the
dam failure will empty into
the Muskegon.”
In Farwell, the rising
water cascaded around
the stressed dam there and
roared downstream filling
Clare’s Lake Shamrock and
endangering homes there.
Clare City workers raised
a third flood gate in Clare’s
dam Sunday morning sending even more water east
down the Tobacco River’s
course and raising the river
to near record levels before
Monday morning.
“Sunday night at midnight, Clare’s Shamrock
Lake dam’s water level was
at 8.9 feet,” Becker said,
“the highest in 20 years.”
He said City workers had
reinforced the Clare dam
with “rip-rock” (large
stone) and that the dam was
stable. By Tuesday morning the water level at the
Shamrock dam had gone
down to 8.1 feet he said.
Becker also said the
water levels in the Little
float in flood waters and
the electric connections to
the houses would travel
through the flood waters
and jeopardize the lives of
the workers.”
Becker said he wasn’t
sure how many homes
were affected because the
area is remote and was
checked by Emergency
Services from the air.
He said he drove into
the area as far as he could
Wednesday afternoon and
the man who was evacuated walked out to his county
vehicle wearing hip boots.
“We brought him to a Clare
hotel,” Becker said. “Those
houses were completely
surrounded by water.”
Residents along the
Muskegon that have been
displaced by the flooding
or power outages can go to
the Spring Hill Camps in
Evart at 7717 95th Avenue,
Evart or contact the American Red Cross at 231-7966562.
Citizens should report
any damage to their insurance company, Becker said.

Storm wreaks havoc on area

Tobacco Drain, which runs
through Clare, were so
high that one family had to
be evacuated. “Their house
was an island,” he said.
“Ironically,” he added,
“the project to improve
the Little Tobacco Drain
is scheduled to be on
the County Commission
agenda Wednesday.” He
reported Thursday morning that the water level was
down and the family had
returned home.
Heavy rains also flooded
a portion of the Clare
Municipal Airport property
and filled ditches to over-
flowing, cascading across
Washington Road before
adding more volume to the
Tobacco which reportedly
was up to bridge level,
before the water began to
recede again.
Drivers throughout the
county were faced with
flooded roads due to the
storm. Becker said in total,
29 roads in Clare County
became flooded, most
caused by culverts washing out. “Some culverts
get rotten and we don’t
know until floodwaters
wash them away,” he

afternoon and one resident

Thursday morning.
“The power was cut to

Becker said. “People don’t

Lightning destroys CHS tech equipment
Surrey firefighters
train for worst
Surrey Township Firemen participated in training Monday to extinguish a vehicle fire and on how to extricate a
victim from a vehicle with the Jaws of Life. The exercise
was part of the Surrey Fire Department’s regular Monday
night training, Fire Chief Dave Williams said.
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
“It will take one to two
months to replace all of
the damaged technology equipment [at Clare
High School],” said
Clare-Gladwin Regional
Education Service District Engineer Adam Pitt
Monday.
The district’s network
equipment that provides
the phone system and
internet service was
destroyed in an electrical
fire caused by a lightning
strike during a violent
thunderstorm Saturday
night.
“Lightning hit our
wireless internet antenna,” said Superintendent
Doniel Pummell. “It
went into the technology closet and started an
electrical fire. A motion
detector was activated
and the police went to
investigate around 3:37
a.m. Sunday morning.
We didn’t know there
was a fire until 4:10 a.m.
when the smoke alarm
went off.”
The fire department
extinguished the fire,
which was contained in
the technology closet but
the rack for the technology and phone system was
destroyed, Pummell said.
“A tech team worked all
day Sunday just to get
our phones back up.” She
said no computers were
damaged and the antenna
was replaced.
Pitt said it was a
sixteen to 20 hour job to
rewire and get the system
back up and working
again. “It is just a temporary fix though,” he said.
High School Principal
Lee Turner said because
of fans that keep the
equipment cool, smoke
and soot from the fire
traveled through the
school ductwork into the
technology room and as
far as the faculty lounge.
Clare – Gladwin RESD engineer Adam Pitt works at removing the burned wiring inside
the CHS technology closet Monday afternoon. He said a temporary system was set up
until the whole system can be rebuilt, a project that will take from one to two months.
“I’m so grateful we
didn’t lose our data,” he
said, “but the components are a total loss.”
Temporary repairs
have the internet and
phone system working
again, at least partially,
until the system can be
rebuilt. Turner said the
media center was shut
down completely Monday while repairs and
cleanup was underway.
Pummell said she
didn’t have any idea of
the cost of the damage
yet. “The insurance
adjusters are working
on that,” she said.

road funds. “Right now
that is just talk though,” he
added. He said the Governor has asked for $1.2
billion for road funding. “I
feel there is going to be a
substantial hit on new road
funding,” he said. “It’s a

The condition of some
of the roads in the township
continues to be a serious
concern for the township
board and residents alike.
Township resident Ray
Brusseau told the board
about extensive damage on
Pebble Creek Road on the

With no new, or even
old business to vote on,
Surrey Township held a
quiet, and short, meeting
April 8th that focused on
reports.
County Commissioner
Lynn Grim reported that
Rick LaBoda is the new
chair of the County Commission and Dale Majewski is vice-chair. She said
Mid Michigan Medical
Center is seeking a new
Medical Examiner since
Dr. Elmer Shurlow has retired after many years. She
also said the county board
had approved a new Information Technology position for the Clare County
Sheriff’s Department,
-- Jim Schuster from the
Clare-Gladwin Regional
Education Service District
(RESD).
Grim also said that
Superintendent Russ
Hamilton and Clare DPW
Supervisor Alan Jessup
had been appointed to the
County Department of
Public Works committee.
The county will see an
additional $129,392 in
revenue sharing this year,
Grim said. “We are back
to full funding after 14
years,” Lynn said. “Unfortunately that doesn’t
include cost of living increases or increased costs
over those years.”
She reminded the board
that the ground breaking
for the Veterans Freedom
Park will be April 25 at
2 p.m. and that there will
be a Public Health Summit at the Mt. Pleasant
Comfort Inn on April 22
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. She
also reminded the board of
the Paula Pernstill Health
Fair, the tenth annual fair,
will be held April 26 at the
Farwell High School from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
New Clare County Conservation District Administrator Holly Keenan was
at the meeting to introduce
herself to the board. She
said the CCD covers
forestry, water quality and
that their spring tree sale is
underway.
Zoning Administrator
Rod Williams reported just
two violation letters issued
and four active cases, adding that he had attended
a conference in Battle
Creek.
He did report on the
extra time taken to clean
up rubbish along township
roads during regular zoning and asked the board
for authorization to have it
picked up and taken to the
transfer facility. The board
agreed to have someone
from the transfer facility
pick up any he reports and
take it to Northern Oaks,
with extra compensation
for a one month period.
Planning Commission
Chair Mahlon Parsons
reported that the quarterly meeting of that board
would be held Wednesday,
the 16th at 7 p.m.
Surrey Fire Chief Dave
Williams reported on Fire
Department activities including 43 runs in Surrey
and one in Gilmore Township and a total of 132 runs
so far this year.
The board approved
previous minutes and the
payment of $21,881.28 in

Tearjerker turns into
controversial story
Talk about a firestorm!
Sometimes in this business they call journalism
you run into a story that
appears to be one way, but
lo and behold once it’s in
print, it could take a whole
different life.
That’s what happened
last week when Melissa
Schlicht presented a piece
she had been working on
for some time. It was about
a young mother and her
autistic child and how they
feared being kicked out
of an apartment complex
because of his autism.
Heck, before the story
even got to press it was
brewing controversy on
the internet. We typically
post stories to our website
and Facebook as they are
written. This one appeared
a couple of days before the
print version.
I immediately got a call
from the apartment complex’s regional manager
who was on vacation down
South. She was not a happy
camper, indicating vociferously, that we had gotten
the story wrong and we
should have talked to her,
and neighbors in the apartment complex.
We argued back and
forth, basically agreeing to
disagree. Reporter Schlicht
did talk to a slew of people
including the mother, her
mother, her aunt, a spokesperson for the apartment
complex, a therapist who
is at the home 20 hours a
week, as well as several
friends.
No one at the time had
anything bad to say about
the mother, or the situation
she was in. Once the story
was posted, however, all
that changed. I’ve never
seen so many negative
comments about a story,
or at least the subject of
the story. Neighbors in
the complex, relatives
and friends began bashing
the mother utilizing the
comments section of our
website.
In one aspect, the regional manager was right.
We should have talked to
the neighbors, because it
was the neighbors’ complaints that precipitated
the disciplinary action the
apartment management had
initiated.
The major complaint
was that the mother was
verbally abusive. It is her
yelling and screaming profanities, the comments say,
that has led to the violations she has received from
apartment management,
not the loud behavior of
the three-year-old autistic child. In defense, the
mother argues differently.
I have always said there
is two sides to every story,
and that certainly applies
here. Can you really blame
the apartment complex for
threatening eviction when
neighbors are complaining
incessantly about problems
in one apartment? Probably
not.
Can you blame the
mother for being upset and
reaching out for help if
she truly believes she may
become homeless because
Just Thinking
By Dr. Ray Augenstein
Back in the 50’s again
I saw this little cafe on
the street I was driving
down, and it caught my
eye. So I turned my car
around and made my way
back to check it out. What
caught my eye was the
name of the place. It was
“Back to the Fifties” Now
I was a teenager in the fifties, and that name pulled
my chain. I pulled into the
parking lot beside of the
building and was greeted
by the sound of “In the
Still of The Night” seeping
through the door. Now
I was intrigued, I hadn’t
planned on going in but I
couldn’t retreat now. It was
as if the sound reached out
and just pulled me in.
When I stepped into
the cafe, I was amazed at
the decor. It was like I had
stepped back in time. There
was a lunch counter with
swivel stools, juke box stations, and over in the corner, an authentic Wurlitzer
juke box. Now I assumed
it was a CD player, but
when I walked over to it, I
discovered it was a genuine
player of 45 records, and
it was the source of the
music I was hearing.
I walked over to one of
the booths lining the wall,
and noticed a selector box
on the table for the juke
box. There were checkered
tablecloths, and the menu
had a red checkered border
around the edge. The
special listed on the front,
was a double cheeseburger,
French fries, and a Malt.
Behind the counter I could
see a malt mixer, and beside it the shiny metal con-
The
tainers that they mixed the
malt in. There was a young
lady that sashayed over to
my table in step with the
music, who was dressed in
a poodle skirt, cashmere
sweater, wearing bobby sox
and saddle shoes.
As I dined on my fries,
hamburger and cherry coke
that I had ordered, the juke
box started blaring out Bill
Haley’s rock around the
clock. A young man in a
white T shirt, blue jeans,
and penny loafers came out
from the back and began
dancing with the waitress.
At that point, I truly felt
like I had stepped back in
time. It reminded me of
when I was a teen, with
slicked back hair, blue
jeans and white buck shoes.
My mind was carried away
by the ambiance I was in,
back to the carefree days of
my youth.
I don’t care how old you
get, or how bad you feel,
I still believe that there is
a little bit of the teenager
still hidden somewhere
inside. I believe that we
get older and mature, and
that we learn from our past
and make better decisions.
But beyond all the mistakes, and bad choices we
made, there is a part of us
that long for certain events
that occurred in our lives.
Like the High School girl
friend or boyfriend that we
walked from class to class.
The High School Dances,
where we tried out all the
new steps. Our first car,
and all the gang we hung
with. The café where we
would meet and eat ham-
Wow, spring storm
packs a real wallop
her little 3-year-old is autistic? Certainly not.
So where does the story
end? Her immediate family
says the mother needs to
grow up or face losing her
children (she has two) to
authorities. If what people
say is true, the loud, abusive
profanities do not belong
in anyone’s vocabulary, let
alone a single mother raising
two children.
The apartment complex
has offered to move the family to a first floor apartment
in hopes that the ground
level environment would
work better for the autistic
child. To me that’s a start
to solving this problem. I
am also told that her lease
is up in June, and because
of all the trouble the mother
would like to move elsewhere.
To make ends meet and
save money for that move,
the mother is now working
two jobs. So time alone will
bring this current situation
to conclusion. June is only a
month and a half away and
presuming her lease will
not be renewed alternative
housing has to be found,
anyways.
I’m still flabbergasted that
a story that was supposed
to be “tearjerker” has ended
up being so controversial. I
guess you never know when
you write for an audience,
how that audience might
react. As they say always
expect the unexpected.

It was a little different from last year, when
the water only filled up
the yard a couple of times
though.
The river surprised us
this year with levels that
came all the way up to the
edge of the bridge over
the Tobacco and actually went under the deck
in the backyard. We had
water everywhere around
the house, and although
it didn’t get inside like it
did in September of 1986,
we were, in fact, an island
for a bit, when it actually circled the house and
crossed the driveway.
Of course when it covered our drain field Sunday
afternoon, we had to leave
for a safer, and more comfortable and “flushable”
location, so just in case
there was more of the same
in store for us, we, with the
help of son Don, moved
everything we could out
of the lower level (my office), shut down the power
to that part of the house,
packed up ourselves and
Peanut and headed out.
And now we are home
once more. This afternoon,
although the river is still
up, everything is looking
like normal spring weather
again. The snow is melting,
the water’s going down and
although with the arrival
of a cold front, it is a little
chilly out there, the sun is
shining again…
Oh the joys of living on
the river.
In the first week of
September, 1986, we were
not only an island in the
river, our place looked like
a houseboat – with a lot of
leaks.
That time we got nine
inches of rain in just 12
hours. The river came up
and up until we began to
wonder if our house would
soon be headed downstream with the rest of the
debris. It not only came
inside, we had nine inches
of water in this very room
and in our garage. You
haven’t experienced it until
you see a canoe floating
around in your garage.
The water actually went
over the bridge that time,
and cut across the road just
east of the bridge. People
were evacuated from our
neighboring Pleasant View
Subdivision and if you
wanted to head east from
here, you had to have a
“big” four-wheel drive
SUV or take a five mile
detour just to make it a
quarter mile east.
It was a scary time and
what the old-timers called
a “50-year flood.”
I just called it a “mess”
because that’s what we had
when we were finally able
to come home a couple
of days later. It was an
extremely hard way to remodel a room and get new
carpeting…

Guess I will have to quit
bragging about our nice
weather lately. Mother
Nature sure surprised us
with a whopper of a spring
storm last Saturday night.
If it wasn’t the middle of
April, I would have said we
were hit with a real April
Fool’s joke this time.
We had been downstate
to visit family and were on
our way home when we
ran into the first inkling
of things to come early
Saturday evening. The
rain came down so hard,
people were pulling off the
highway to wait for it to
pass. We made it home and
things continued with more
rain, thunder and lightning
throughout the night.
In fact, Saturday night
we had a real thunderbuster, complete with a
downpour of nearly five
inches of rain over a 24hour period, leading to the
worst flooding in the area
since 1986, and complete
with road damage, a ferocious windstorm that took
out buildings and trees and
just as a little frosting on
the cake, ended up with a
couple inches of snow and
icy roads to contend with.
And it’s only Tuesday.
For the second year in a
row, these Maurers moved
out for a couple of days,
and were extremely grateful to bunk with daughter
Lisa, son-in-law Terry and
the granddaughters until
it was safe to return home
this morning.

In 2013 there were 491
Home Invasions investigated with 264 of those
being true reportable
crimes. That means that
227 of those reported were
found not to be a crime, but
required an investigation
to check into the circumstances of the call. There
were 1,741 traffic crashes.
580 Motorist Assist, 390
Traffic Complaints, with
5,742 Traffic Stops being
made.
We were recently given
permission from the Board
of Commissioners to fill
a full time IT (Information Technology) position here in the Sheriff’s
Office. Currently between
the County building and
the Jail/Sheriff/Central
Dispatch building there is
one person that handles
this. We have seen over
the last few years that there
is a need for a person to
be assigned to the Jail/
Sheriff/Central Dispatch
building, with the priority
being keeping our Central
Dispatch Center running
smoothly and efficiently.
We have three dispatching station, each with 7
monitors running 8 different software programs
at the same time. The
main software is our CAD
(Computer Aided Dis-
patching) software. This
is the main software used
in recording all incidents
that go through the dispatch
center. There are many
switches and servers runnin
in the center, which include
the entire 911 phone system
This system has gotten to
the point where we need
someone assigned to it, to
keep it running smoothly to
better serve you.
I want to take this time to
welcome Deputy Don VanBonn as a full time Deputy Sheriff for our Office.
Deputy VanBonn started ou
with us working the jail as a
corrections officer in June o
2010. He came to me a littl
over a year ago and told me
he wanted to go through the
police academy to become a
certified police officer. He
took it upon himself to further his education and dedicated time in order to reach
his goal. I’m proud and
pleased with his decision
and look forward to working with him for many year
to come. Congratulations
Deputy Donald VanBonn.
Like always, GOD Bless

Disappointed in article
Dear Editor:
I was disappointed to
read your article concerning misguided parents
whose children attend
Farwell Schools. My hope
is this was a bad week
(we all have them) and
not a change of direction
to become Clare County’s
TMZ. I’ve heard Facebook
called the “bathroom stall
of the Internet.” Please, do
not ruin your credibility
by using Facebook posts
as a reference. You do a
remarkable service to this
community, don’t change.
To the students, “The
tough thing about adulthood is it starts before you
even know it starts; when
you’re a dozen decisions
into it.” Your parents
aren’t doing you any
favors. In the real world,
there are CONSEQUENCES for your actions. The
sooner you take RESPONSIBILITY, the quicker
you can get back to the
GOALS you are trying to
reach. A situation is never
lost. Don’t dig a deeper
hole. You’ve put yourself
into a position where other
people are making decisions for you. The secret to
SUCCESS is limiting the
amount of times this happens in your lifetime.
How bad do you want
it? What are the limits you
are willing to go? How
will you prove yourself? Properly communicate your
answers to the leadership at
your school and the results
might surprise you. Be prepared to work extra hard. Nothing in this world will
be given to you. Gary Bussell

MARCH AGAINST
MONSANTO
On May 24, 2014 at Island Park & Town Square,
in beautiful downtown Mt.
Pleasant, MI at 2 pm. March
Against Monsanto is a global call to action aimed at
informing the public. Calling into question long term
health risks of genetically
modified foods and demanding that GMO products be labeled so that consumers can
make informed decisions.
Why we march: Protect
our food supply, support local farms, protect our environment, promote organic
solutions, expose the Cronyism between big businesses
and the government, and to
bring accountability to those
responsible for the corruption. There will be speakers,
information tables, entertainment, and a protest march
to create awareness. Family
oriented, come join in on all
the fun. A truly free and educational experience.
“Future historians may
well look back upon our time
and write, not about how
many pounds of pesticide
we did or didn’t apply, but by
how willing we are to sacrifice our children and future
generations for this massive
genetic engineering experiment that is based on flawed
science and failed promises
just to benefit the bottom line
of a commercial enterprise.”
– Don Huber, Professor
Emeritus, Plant Pathology,
Purdue University.

ARBOR DAY
CELEBRATION
The City of Clare will celebrate the value of urban
and community trees and
announce its commitment to
tree management during an
Arbor Day celebration this
spring at Shamrock Park.

department, adopting a tree
care ordinance, investing at
least $2 per capita in forestry programs, and holding an
annual Arbor Day event.
The City of Clare and the
Tree Advisory Board will celebrate their commitment to
community forestry on Tuesday, April 22nd 2014, during
the Arbor Day celebration.
The celebration will include
the planting of about 10-15
trees throughout Shamrock

Harrison 5th grader
is published author
Hunter Hakes of Harrison Middle School is recognized for his accomplishments as a published writer.
Hunter wrote a published
memoir for the Michigan
Reading Association Kaleidoscope “A Celebration of
Michigan’s Young Authors”
2014 conference. Hunter
and his family were invited
to attend the luncheon at
the Amway Grand in Grand
Rapids where he was
recognized for his accomplishments, received a copy
of his published work and
was awarded a medal of
recognition.
As his teacher, I must
say that Hunter had to
put forth extra time and
effort after school to take
his memoir Godzilla with
Grandpa through several
revisions and edits. This
was in addition to what was
instructed in the classroom
and as homework. Being a
writer is an overwhelming
but exhilarating process,
but Hunter stuck with it.
Hunter learned firsthand
what the writing process
was about and that creating
prized work goes beyond
the time spent in the classroom.
in 2010 they had old computers from the Farwell Public
Schools. A few years later
they got some old computers from Dow Corning and
Warner Petroleum. It became
apparent as they grew, that a
system and updated computers
were badly needed. Last year
they began partnering with
MSU extension to provide
cooking classes. They had to
go through hundreds of files
to find clients for the class
in Clare, again for the class
in Harrison, and are going
through them again for the
Farwell class in May. With the
new system this can be done
much more efficiently.
