Evart man agrees
to child abuse plea
Marc Steven Hartnett
By John Raffel
Correspondent
An Evart man has accepted a plea deal with the
Osceola County Prosecutor’s office on child abuse
charges.
Osceola County prosecutor Tyler Thompson
said on Tuesday that Marc
Steven Hartnett, 21, this
week entered a guilty plea
of child abuse, first degree,
for “severely injuring a
toddler.
“He hasn’t been
sentenced yet,” Thompson said. “There’s a plea
agreement in place where
he’ll go to prison for 13 to
40 years.”

The plea also, according
to reports, involves one
count of assault with intent
to do great bodily harm
less than murder. Other
charges were dropped as a
result of the plea.
If Hartnett would have
been convicted in a jury
trial for first-degree child
abuse, he would have
faced a penalty of life in
prison. His sentencing is
Oct. 7”
The sentencing will
take place at Osceola
County’s 49th Circuit
Court.
Prior to the plea deal,
a trial was scheduled to
start on Sept. 20. Hartnett
earlier this year withdrew
from a first plea deal.
A court spokesperson
said the offense date was
on Sept. 23, 2015, in
Evart, involving critical
injuries sustained by a
19-month old boy, allegedly caused by Hartnett.
Also according to reports,
the child underwent surgery for life-threatening
injuries. Hartnett was
later arrested following an
investigation into the incident and remains lodged
in the Osceola County jail.

Marion students provided comments on why
Homecoming is such a
special week:
Eighth grader Andrea
Weaver: “I think the
parade will be my favorite part of homecoming
because my dad is coming
home to watch me play (in
the band).”
Junior Hannah Hopkins:
“My favorite dress up day
is Friday because it’s nice
to see those people that
care about our school dress
or our colors.”
Junior Caitlyn Schepers:
“I love homecoming. I
dress up every day, go to
float building and help
with window decorating.”
Eighth-grader Gwenyth Hall: “My favorite
dress up day this week is
Villians vs. Heroes. I love
Batman and the Joker.”
Seventh-grader Logan
Romatz: “The best part of
homecoming will be the
dance.”
The Osceola County
prosecutor’s office has
announced an off-duty
police officer from Cadillac has agreed to a plea
deal for crashing a vehicle
in Osceola County while
under the influence of
alcohol earlier this year.
Prosecutor Tyler
Thompson confirmed this
week with the Marion
Press that Jeffery Daniel
Izzard, 45, of Cadillac,
recently pleaded guilty
to one count of operating while intoxicated. He
faced charges in July of
one count of operating
with a high blood alcohol
content after an incident on
May 28 in Marion Township. It was reported to be
a single-car accident.
The original charge
against the Cadillac police
officer, went from a high
BAC down to regular
drunk driving, Thompson
said.
“That’s a pretty standard
plea offer for anybody,”
Thompson said. “He didn’t
get any different plea deal
than anyone else would.”
Izzard is currently
awaiting sentencing at
77th District Court. By
pleading guilty to the
drunk driving chargé, he
faces a lesser penalty that
he would have faced under
a high BAC, which carries
a penalty of up to 180 days
in jail and/or $200 to $700
in fines and/or 360 hours
of community service.
“It’s a standard plea
I would have offered to
anybody,” Thompson said.
“He got no different treatment because he was a law
enforcement officer.”
It was also Izzard’s first
offense, Thompson said.

Businesses told to beware of counterfeit money
By John Raffel
Correspondent
It’s not a major problem
in the area, but law enforcement officials do advise
businesses and others to be
on the lookout for counterfeit money.
There have been some
reports of counterfeit bills
in neighboring counties
during the summer.
“We get our complaints,”
Osceola County undersher-
iff Justin Halladay said.
“It’s not a regular thing that
comes through on a daily
basis or even a weekly basis. It might happen here or
there where we get a complaint from a business of a
counterfeit bill. Sometimes
it’s not. They changed $100
bills recently where some
people weren’t aware they
were making the change or
were surprised by it.
“There are other times
we do get a sporadic coun-
terfeit bill. A lot of these
people who work at these
places are trained (to look
for it), whether it be a gas
station or party store, or a
restaurant. All I can say is
just be aware. If we have
a rash of them, we do a
public service announcement to let people know
it’s coming around. But
we haven’t had any in
awhile. Most copiers and
printers today, if you put a
dollar bill in there, it will
not copy it and will send
a message to the internet
and to the Secret Service
and let someone know
they’re trying to print a
dollar bill.”
Many business don’t
take cash and prefer credit
cards.
“But if they do take
cash, what I would do is, if
someone pays you in cash,
I would look at the bills,”
Halladay said. “Just be
aware of it.”

Marion to check on speed limits down Main St.
By John Raffel
Correspondent
The Marion Village
Council last week decided
to check on the speed limit
signs on Main Street.
Clerk Marsha Turner
noted that the signs go
from 25 mph to 35 mph.
The street department
will be checking on the
signs, Turner indicated,
to make sure there’s no
confusion from drivers
from the signs on what the
proper speed limit is on
various stretches through
town.
“It was brought up there
was a differential in the
signs for posted speed
limits and they were going
to check and see to make
it all legal on both sides,”
Turner said.
The council approved
the school having the
Homecoming parade on
Main Street on Sept. 18.
The council discussed
getting information on a
does not have a website.
Board members will
gather information on that
and report back to the rest
of the board.
“The village has never
had a website so (the
council) will look into
getting one and see what it
takes,” Turner said.
The council also passed
a resolution to support a
grant project the Marion
library is undertaking for
computer technology.
The next meeting will
on Oct. 3.
“It will deal with
mostly basic stuff,” Turner
said. “We won’t get into
the budget until another
month or two. Our fiscal
year doesn’t end until Feb.
28. We go from March
through February. We
usually start working on it
in December and January and approve it at the

Long-time rod & gun club member appreciates local outdoors BODY SHOP
By John Raffel
Correspondent
Ben Clark taught 36
years locally and enjoys
living in the Marion area
now as he did in day one.
He’s a member of the
Marion Rod & Gun Club.
He lives two miles south
of town. Clark retired in
2002 and taught different
subjects, including various
sciences and biology. He
was in grades six through
12.
His teaching job at
Marion was his first and
only one.
Clark is originally from
Caro and attends Central
Michigan University,
where he earned his teaching degree.
He wound up getting
a teaching job at Marion.
He also taught math and
conservation.
“Biology is my main
interest,” he said. “It’s been
an interest he’s had for a
long time.”

Grazing school set
By John Raffel
Correspondent
Local Michigan State
University Extension official Jerry Lindquist has
announced the presentation of grazing schools for
dairy, livestock and small
ruminant producers at three
locations, including Lake
City simultaneously via
high speed video conferencing in September.
A team of experts at
each location that will
broadcast their expertise
to the different sites and
interactive chat from participants with those experts
will be provided.
Grazing school will be
Sept. 22-23, and will begin
at 8 a.m. on Thursday and
close at 4 p.m. on Friday.
The two-day school
will be offered at the Lake
City Research Center
in Lake City.
The MSU
extension services notes
the goal of the school is to
blend classroom instruction
with in-field education and
the latest animal/forage research to give participants
an in-depth introduction to
grazing management.
Subject areas will
include introduction to
managed grazing; pasture
management and decision making; livestock
nutrition and requirements
on pasture; forage yield
determination and pasture allocation; grass and
legume species identification; pasture soil fertility
and management; grazing systems, layout and
design; water systems and
requirements; building and
using fence for grazing and
pasture establishment and
improvement.
Experts who will be participating in person at Lake
City, along with Lindquist,
a grazing educator with the
extension service, include
Jason Roundtree, a Ph.D
and beef specialist; Kable
Thurlow, a beef educator
with the extension service;
and Doug Carmichael,
a farm manager with
the Lake City Research
Center.
The grazing school,
Lindquist, said, “is mainly
intended for dairy, beef
and sheep farmers to
improve their pasture
production.”
Lindquist indicated
these events are very educational and helpful for the
participants.
“It varies on the farms,”
he said. “Some of them
are always looking for the
newest and latest innovations. Others are more
traditional and don’t like
to change as much. Farms
vary. But farms seeking
the latest information
usually gain new ideas by
attending whether it comes
directly from us or if they
learn something from other
farms.”
Interested persons
can contact Lindquist at
231-832-6139 for more
information.
In a related matter,
Lindquist said farmers
are in need of more rain
despite the significant
downpours the area got in
late August.
“Many of our areas are
still two to four inches
behind normal,” he said.
“We’ve gotten some rain
and it has helped. Crops
are still maturing and moving forward. But we’d like
some more. It’s trending
on the dry side. It depends
exactly on where you’re
located. Some places have
more significant rain.
Many of our farm fields
are still short.”
SEND A DOCTOR
TO THE HOUSE
Rod & Gun Club for 48
years. He’s had a long-time
interest in the skeet shoot.
While he’s not as active
in the club as he once
was, he’s still an avid deer
hunter.
Deer hunting prospects
for 2016 “are a tossup,”
he said. “I haven’t seen
anything yet. There’s a lot
of dawns and foes running
around but haven’t seen any
bucks I’d like to shoot.”
The general consensus is
a mild winter, plus antlerless point restrictions, could
make it a good year.
“It should be foodwise,
they should be healthy,” he
said.
Clark enjoys using the
crossbow, and adds that
bow hunting “is the time of
year to be out.”
He in the past has
enjoyed other types of
hunting.
Clark and his wife travels once in awhile but usually stays around the area.
“I like the privacy, for
one thing,” he said. “I live
in the woods.”

Marion students
reflect on 15th
anniversary of 9-11
By John Raffel
Correspondent
Most of them weren’t
born yet or were too young
to remember that day.
But Marion students had
a chance to reflect on the
15th anniversary of 9/11
in recent history and social
study classes.
Stacie Sutten at Marion
High School said ninthgrade U.S. history and
10th grade World history
classes had a chance to
go back to Sept. 11, 2001,
in unique ways when
America was attacked by
terrorists.
“The high school
classes watched a video
that remembered the tragic
events at the Twin Towers,
Pentagon, and the field
in Pennsylvania, and the
people who were lost,”
Sutten said. “President
Bush stated, ‘America was
attacked because we are
the brightest beacon of
freedom.’ Students defined
freedom as it meant to
them and their group.”
Sutten said students also
discussed thoughts and
feelings about the events
“I never knew it happened and it saddens me
because of all of the innocent lives that were taken,”
was among the comments
made by students. There
were others:
“When I found out
about it I was confused
and I still am today.”
“It’s just terrifying to
think that we had no clue.
Can’t even imagine the
amount of pain, grief and
anger that everyone felt.”
“I’m just confused on
how someone can convince someone else to take
their life along with the
lives of thousands of other
lives just because someone
said to.”
“I got shivers and goose
bumps from watching the
video. Then I felt sorry for
the people that died and
the families’ losses.”
“I think that everybody
should feel sorrow even
if you were not born yet
because thousands of lives
are gone.”
“How could someone
do this?”
“What were the people
thinking?”
“Things changed so
fast.”
“How horrifying it must
have been for people in the
towers and for family and
friends who had people
working in there.”
“I don’t get why
someone would want to
do something or cause so
much trauma like this.”
“I remember that
freedom isn’t free. Some
people dislike our freedom
because they themselves
don’t have freedom in their
country.”
“Made me think about
how evil the world can
be.”
“Makes me think about
how divided our country
is until a great catastrophe
plagues the U.S. and we all
unite together to grieve the
losses.”
“Wow…so many people
died that day. People didn’t
deserve to die so young.”
“The video was a terrible thing to watch. It
shocked me.”
“Just a couple of people
can ruin so many lives.”
“Did the responsible
people even think about
how they would react if
something like that was to
happen to their family?”
“Why? Why the U.S.?”
Because 9/11 happened
when the students weren’t
born or can’t remember, students had unique
thoughts, Sutten added.
“They reacted with a lot
of sadness and empathy
for the families,” Sutten
said. “They also have a
lot of disbelief as to why
people would cause such
devastation.”

Gillmore expects spillway report soon
By John Raffel
Correspondent
Marion Village Council
president Donald Gillmore
said he anticipates getting
a report soon on improvements the village can
make at the dam spillway.
“We have an engineer
coming up with an idea
so we can better regulate
the water at the pond,”
Gillmore said. “We expect
that report soon.”
He also provided an
update on MDOT funding.
“MDOT said they were
going to cut our street
fund quite a bit, but as
it turns out, it was just a
small cut, just a few percentage points,” Gillmore
said. “It’s the money they
spend on the roads. They
said it would have to be
cut.
“A year ago, they were
going to raise it because
of additional monies
from the federal government and the gas tax
they passed. Then they
said they needed it at the
state level so the local
level would be cut. But it
wasn’t cut significantly.
We’re going to be OK.
We get so much each year
for each mile of street
as well as any other city
or village. It’s a regular
formula.”
Gillmore said the street
committee is working on
tests for the speed limit
signs.

with our agent,” Nielsen
said, indicating that previous action on the plan
taken by the county has
been paying off financially.
In another piece of
good financial news,
Nielsen added that the
county now anticipates an
increase in revenue from
the state to the general
fund of $43,000.
“Many of our special
funds will get reimbursed
from the state,” she said.
Under the finance portion of the meeting, the
board approved a district
library lease addendum, a
Michigan State University
Extension 2017 agree-
ment and union letters of
agreement.
The county received a
request from the Grand
Traverse Library to approve the Talking Book
Library program. But the
board decided not to participate, Nielsen said.
“We have a sidewalk
project on the westside of
town, south of the elementary school where the
sidewalk will be replaced.
Then we’ll do regular
maintenance,” he said.
“As far as what streets
we’ll do next year, we
haven’t determined that
yet. We try to do a street
every other year.”

Reflections on 9-11, fear or love?
My son was born two
weeks before September
11, 2001. Those joyous
first weeks of taking part
in the miracle of birth were
sadly interrupted when terrorists attacked our sacred
country. No more could we
feel safe, and my thoughts
were dominated with concern that my baby, my son
would grow up in a much
more dangerous world and
country we baby boomers
had ever experienced.
Fast forward to September 11, 2016. The United
States and our leaders
have taken measures to
assure us acts of terror
of such magnitude of
September 11, will never
happen again. Yet, it’s
hard to believe. We have
been fighting terrorism for
fifteen years, longer than
any previous war, and I’m
not sure we are even close
to declaring victory. The
fears for my son when he
was two weeks old are
still pitted in my stomach
fifteen years later.
This past Sunday, September 11, I had yard work
to do, but instead of getting right at it, I began to
scroll my Facebook timeline, and I hit upon shock
jock, Howard Stern’s live
broadcast of September 11,
2001. Now many of you
might curl your nose up at
Stern, whose popular radio
show from New York City
is laced with profanities
and sexual innuendos.
I, however, decided to
listen in, knowing that he
had been on the air in New
York City when the Twin
Towers were destroyed.
I had forgotten many of
the details, but soon I was
reliving the moment, with
Stern and his crew.
Many emotions were
welling up inside me- sadness, anger, tears. Stern,
unlike network television
at the time, has many correspondents and listeners
on the ground telling their
version of what was happening, although no one
knew the whole truth until
much later. It was like I
was in a movie theater
watching a disaster flick,
only it wasn’t a movie. It
was real and it was very
very scary.
It was compelling radio.
Again it was much like
Orson Welle’s War of The
Worlds radio broadcast.
But this wasn’t a hoax.
America was in reality
being attacked, and not
by aliens. I had intended
to turn it on for a minute
or two and couldn’t stop
listening. I relived the
whole 2 ½ hours through
the voice of Stern and his
crew.
Fast forward to September 13, 2016 as I write this
column. I was genuinely
proud of the citizens of
this great nation, as to
how we remembered
the 15th Anniversary of
9-11. Despite our differences, despite our political
affiliations, despite our
By Julie Traynor
Fall Bonfire Season
racial make-up, 99% of
Americans are united in
honoring those who died
in that terrible tragedy, as
well as the many others
that followed. Our enemies
may think we are a divided
nation, but when it comes
to defending our homeland
or the principles we stand
for, all but a few of us, will
stand and fight.
We can never forget
9-11. We were attacked by
terrorists, and unfortunately we are still fighting the
war. Last Sunday we came
together as a nation. We
celebrated our patriotism.
True there were a few
overpaid professional football players that thought
otherwise, and I don’t
know about you, but I was
very moved at the outpouring of patriotism displayed
in most every American
town and city.
I hope we can keep that
patriotic candle burning. I
hope we continue to have
the resolve to beat down
the terrorists. I hope, because I have a fifteen year
old son, and I don’t want
him to live in a country
where fear dominates love.
Reflections
By Roger Campbell Ministries
Our Rich Heavenly Father
My working associate
was a top-notch salesman
and highly respected by
our employer and others, but he had a severe
drinking problem that
nearly ended his life. A
ruptured stomach ulcer
finally caused him to start
bleeding internally, resulting in a speedy ambulance trip to the hospital
and concerns about his
survival by family members. Finally, he began
to recover but his return
to health was hindered by
his constant anxiety over
debts he had accumulated.
One day, his father-inlaw came to the hospital
to visit him and asked if
he had learned anything
from this fearful experience. He answered
that he had learned how
dangerous it was for him
to drink and said he was
through with alcohol for
life.
“If you mean that,” his
father-in-law said, “I’m
going to pay every debt
you owe and give you a
new start.”
My friend was nearly
speechless at this offer.
“But, Dad,” he replied,
“you have no idea how
much I owe.”
“You have no idea how
much money I have,” his
kind father-in-law replied.
And after the hospital
stay was over, he brought
his worried son-in-law a
checkbook full of signed
checks, enabling him to
pay all those debts that
had been such a burden to
him and that had slowed
his recovery.
We have a rich Heavenly Father who longs to
lift our burdens and carry
our cares. He is grieved
when we insist on trying
to carry them ourselves so
invites us to come to Him
and find rest. In doing
so, we honor Him by our
faith and enter into what
Jesus called abundant living (John 10:10).
This doesn’t guarantee
a trouble free life. Our
Lord warned that trouble
comes even to those of us
who walk by faith. He
also promised to walk
with us all along the way.
Some who have endured severe persecution
and found their walk with
God sufficient for these
times of trouble have
become the most fervent
in sharing their faith with
others.
Consider the present
multiplying of believers
in places where imprisonment and other trials have
been common. A recent
report states that ten
thousand people are now
joining churches in China
daily (70,000 per week),
leading to an estimated
111 million members.
Most of us have known
people who were serene
when everything seemed
to be crashing down
around them. In the most
trying of circumstances,
they have remained trusting and calm. Those go-
ing to comfort them have
come away comforted.
They have been living
examples of genuine faith.
The secret of such peace
in times of peril is being
confident that God is
always up to the occasion
and open to our prayers.
People who are struggling financially may find
money problems on their
minds continually. They
feel that an increased
cash flow would solve
all of their problems, but
those who have plenty of
money also have cares.
Surprisingly, most studies
show that wealthy people
have more trouble with
worry and depression than
those with less.
How shall we then handle life’s cares? According to the Bible, we’re to
worry about nothing and
pray about everything.
Peter put it this way:
“Casting all your care
on Him, for He cares for
you (1 Peter 5:7). And no
matter our problems, our
rich Heavenly Father can
handle them all.

The
Press
We stocked piled firewood for the pit and had a
marathon bonfire over the
weekend. The smell of a
Jack pine fire is piney pungent, welcoming and comfortable in the late summer
air. We sat in our chairs by
the fire kept an eye skyward;
the fall bird migration is
well underway. Unless one
takes the time to watch for
the many kinds of birds that
use that migratory highway
in the sky, they slide by in
great numbers, unnoticed.
Many kinds of birds who
spend the summer in the
far north are only seen in
these parts for a brief time,
coming and going. If we are
lucky we see the unusual
should they stop at our ‘rest
area’ bird baths and feeders. In the evening we kept
our eyes still skyward,
enjoying the twinkling
stars, growing moon and the
passing of the occasional
satellite. It was a fine ushering in of the fall season and
a fitting close to a warm and
busy summer. As often we
do, we talk of other fires and
times and faces gone by.
Folks have been gathering around campfires in
Winterfield Township for
a very long time. In fact,
just one hundred and sixty
years ago just now a small
handful of men sat around
campfires in our township for three weeks. And
theirs was probably the
only fire for a good many
miles. Through the summer
and into fall, a survey crew
of five men systematically
worked its way along the
previously surveyed address,
T18N R6W, now known as
Winterfield Twp. This crew
and several others across
the state, were busy that
year and the next, verifying
original survey lines and
subdividing townships into
sections; readying the land
to usher in the lumbering era
and eventual settlement.
The first survey of this
area was made in 1837 when
Michigan was new, marking
out counties and townships,
no smaller divisions of land.
That survey was headed
by one Henry Nicholson.
It was these measurements
which were being examined
in the summer and autumn
of 1856 by Francis Coleman and his crew. The first
measurements Coleman’s
crew examined were the
lines defining the township.
Corrections were made as
Coleman was often unable
to find old lines, corners
or witness posts. Inaccuracies were abundant. It was
wondered if the original surveyors had even tackled the
daunting task of surveying
the new state of Michigan or
had even came close to half
of the northern counties and
townships they were charged
with marking.
By the time that Coleman
and his crew came to the
area twenty years later, the
county was known by the
name Clare. The Irishman
Nicholson, to honor his na-

John Fleming was Winterfield’s best known early
settler, having settled in
Section 29 about 1870. The
settlement of Grandon also
grew in this section. Little
went on in the township in
the early days that Fleming
did not know about. He was
the townships’ first supervisor and oversaw the building
of the first bridge spanning
the Muskegon. Winterfield’s
first school was built on
Fleming’s property and
named for him.
By 1880 these still
familiar names had settled in
Winterfield and were calling
it home. Among the early
farmer settlers were Obadiah
Richardson, John Hamer,
farmer and hotelkeeper,
George June, Harm Dykstra,
David Badgerow, Freeman Howard, the Conklin
brothers, Daniel Gallop and
Cornelius Balus, who was
the first merchant in Temple.
Although, as Coleman
noted, much of the soil of
the pine plains was third
rate, farmers were drawn to
the area and many were able
to eke out a living, raising families, farming and
lumbering.
On late summer evenings
around our fire, we sometimes talk of early Winterfield and her residents,
woodsmen and farmers
alike. It is easy to sit by the
fire with the stars over head
and imagine Frances Coleman and his crew sitting by
their fire so long ago; resting
after a long day and preparing for the next. They are
drying boots and sharpening
axes for the next days’ work.
The fire snaps and dances
and the smell of pine smoke
is in the air. Stars twinkle
overhead. Far off coyotes
bay at the moon.
We like to think that some
things never change.
Cooking & Recipes
Pour boiling water over
corn meal, sugar and salt
and mix well. Let stand
until meal swells. Add
milk and let stand until
cool. Sift flour and baking
powder together and add. Fold in beaten eggs.
Bake on hot griddle,
turning to brown on both
sides. The cakes should be
small and well cooked as
they do require longer to
cook than wheat cakes...

tive County Clare, changed
the name from Kaykakee.
Francis Coleman chief
surveyor, two chainmen and
two axemen commenced
at the point on the western
boundary of the township,
on the Townline 20 between
sections 18 and 19 and made
their way east, marking the
line at increments of one
mile. They made their way
back and forth, across the
township, thus marking, then
began, from the southeastern corner of the township,
marking section increments
north and south, establishing
the township grid.
Coleman and his crew
moved into T20N R6W, or
Winterfield, on September 5
and worked for three weeks,
finishing survey and notes,
September 22, 1856. Within
a week, Coleman filed his
paperwork, verifying that the
job was done, in Big Rapids.
The land was measured and
ready to be claimed.
There were few settlers
living in Clare County
previous to 1856, however
few and far between they
may have been. These were
men for whom the news of
a settler within ten miles
meant that the country was
becoming tame and crowed.
Among them was one Lewis
Billings who settled in
Winterfield’s Section 13 and
could not abide a neighbor. Neither could Elijah
Harrington who settled for
a time in Summerfield’s Section 11 in 1869. He moved
on, leaving his name to be
remembered on one of the
backwaters of the Muskegon
River, the Harrington Bayou.
William Babcock, an early immigrant from Canada,
settled in Winterfield. He
was the township blacksmith
and a part time farmer by
1878. He is remembered
through the Babcock Bayou.
There are also tales of long
forgotten trappers with families living all winter long in
Winterfield as early as 1850. 1-1/2 lb. ground beef
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 medium size onion

Deer season kicks in with weekend’s Liberty Hunt
By John Raffel
Correspondent
Ready for some hunting?
The first deer season is
this Saturday and Sunday
with the Liberty Hunt,
which emphasizes disabled
hunters and the youth, plus
the early antler less hunt.
“We have two seasons, the same weekend,”
northern Michigan DNR
wildlife biologist Katie
Keen said. “Every year,
this causes a little bit of
confusion. Early antlerless firearm season is only
on select areas that are
open and only on private
land. The Liberty Hunt is
a statewide hunt for youth
16 and under and hunters
with disabilities. It’s statewide, private and public
land. We have several
thousand people that take
advantage of this early
season.”
The DNR handbook
notes that this firearm deer
hunt will take place on
private or public lands in
Michigan open to firearm
deer hunting, for two days,
in the month of September.
Veterans with disabilities
and individuals with disabilities who qualify, along
with youth ages 16 and
younger may participate
in this hunt. For qualified
persons with disabilities,
valid licenses include a deer
or deer combo license, the
DNR notes.
To qualify an individual
must fit one of the following criteria, provided by the
DNR:
--Be a veteran who has
been determined to have
100-percent disability, or
is rated as individually
unemployable by the U.S.
Department of Veterans
Affairs.
--Have been issued a
permit, by the DNR, to hunt
from a standing vehicle.
--Have been issued
a permit by the DNR to
hunt using a laser-sighting
device.
--Be blind as defined by
MCL 393.351.
During this two-day
hunt, a deer or deer combo
license may be used for an
antlered or antlerless deer,
but Antler Point Restrictions do not apply. A Deer
Management Assistance
(DMA) permit may also be
used to take one antlerless
deer only, if issued for the
area/land upon which is
being hunted, the DNR
says. The bag limit for
this season is one deer.
All hunters participating
in this season must wear
hunter orange, the DNR
adds.

Akney leads Eagles over Manistee Catholic, 42-14
by Ben Murphy
Sports Correspondent
A week after not liking
what he saw from his pass
defense, Marion head
football coach loved what
he saw Friday night, as his
Eagles easily handled host
Manistee Catholic Central
42-14.
“I thought our defense
played a lot better this
week,” he said of the
Western Michigan 8-man
Conference win. “We had
struggled the week before
with our pass defense but
this week we ended up
with four interceptions so
that was a big improvement.”
The Eagles wasted
little time in taking the
lead, as they got an early
53-yard touchdown run by
Chuck Akney and a first
quarter touchdown run by
Brandon Neuman from
18-yards out.
In the second, Erick
Carey scored on a 20-yard
touchdown run to give
Marion the 20-7 halftime
margin.
On one of the first plays
of the third quarter Akney
put thoughts of a come-
back in serious doubt, as
he sprinted in from 70
yards out for a score.
“That was a nice way to
open the half,” Coach Jenema said. “We had a few
mistakes in the first half,
getting three touchdowns
called back which is never
good. So, to open the half
this way with a score like
that was nice.”
Also in the second
half Austin Edwards had
a three yard touchdown
plunge and Carey had a
60-yard touchdown romp.
“Akney had a great
night running the ball, he
is a good one-two-punch
with Carey,” Coach Jenema said. “Turner came in
and gave us some tough
yardage too. It really is
good that we have more
than one back that can hurt
people, they can’t just key
in on one guy this way.”
Akney finished with
209 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries,
Carey had 173 yards and
he also had eight tackles
and two interceptions on
defense.
Also on defense was
Camren Turner with 10
tackles and an intercep-
tion, Billy Jenema had
eight tackles and Chris
Wengert had three sacks.
“Wengert played really
well on defense, he put
a lot of pressure on their
quarterback all night, it
was good to see him have
a good game,” Coach
Jenema said.
Marion (2-1 overall,
2-0 West Michigan) hosts
Traverse City Christian
(1-2, 1-1) tonight (Friday) for its homecoming
game. TC-Christian is
coming off a 52-0 loss to
Lawrence last week. The
team’s last met in 2014
when both were 11-man
teams, in what was a 47-0
Eagle win.
“I’m looking forward
to it,” Coach Jenema said.
“We scrimmaged them before the season started so
we’ve seen them already
and we feel we match
up with them well. They
do have a good running
back and beat Manistee
Catholic Central a couple
weeks ago as well. It’s
homecoming so it would
be nice to win it if we can.
It would be nice to be able
to go to 3-1 on the season
too.”
Ramblers stay unbeaten with 32-14 win over Evart
by Ben Murphy
Sports Correspondent
McBain continued to
stand tall on the football
field Friday night, as it
picked up a win in its
Highland Conference
opener, 32-14 over host
Evart.
“It’s important to win
the first conference game
because the conference
is competitive and every
win goes towards the ultimate goal of winning the
conference,” head coach
Pat Maloney said. “Our
defense played a huge
role in stopping a very explosive team. They held
two of the fastest running
backs in our conference
in check for most of the
game.”
The Ramblers were
without senior starting
quarterback Logan Eling,
who sat the game out with
a shoulder injury. Junior
Alex Utecht stepped in
to take the snaps behind
center and McBain didn’t
miss a beat.
“Adversity always
comes along and having Eling out was ours,”
Maloney said. “Alex did
a great job, he prepared
himself and our offense
went smooth, even with
the change at quarterback.”
The Ramblers scored
two first quarter touchdowns and added another
in the second to take an
18-6 lead at the half.
Hunter Ransom scored
the first touchdown on
an 18-yard carry, Cole
Sieland scored from four
yards away and Utecht
found Logan Vandenboss
for a 68-yard strike.
In the third, Ransom
romped in from 25 yards
and Utecht added a late
three yard keeper for the
final score.
Leading the offense
was Utecht who was 2-of5 passing for 75 yards
and a touchdown and
he also had 32 yards on
the ground with another
score. Hunter Ransom ran
17 times and had 98 yards
and two touchdowns,
Cole Sieland had 83 yards
on 18 tries and Logan
Vandeboss had a 68-yard
touchdown reception.
On defense it was Vandenboss leading the way
with 12 tackles and three
Sikkema wins the
steeplechase mile
by Ben Murphy
Sports Correspondent
The Marion cross country team changed things up
a bit when it hosted a steeplechase race on Tuesday.
Head coach Jason Keeler
was happy with how the
first year event went.
“It went pretty well
thanks to a lot of help from
a great crew of parents
and volunteers,” he said.
“Athletes ran over hay
bales, logs and the hills
that seem to fill our course.
While our times may not
have been our best of the
season, our effort was
excellent.”
Keeler pointed out highlights of the night included
Kylie Sikkema winning
the girls one mile in 7:23
and Alexis Salisbury taking third in the 5-K race
at 25:13. Jared Deighton
added a second place finish in the boys two mile at
12:55.
McBain Northern
Michigan Christian also
competed in the event,
Connor Witbeck was third
in the 5-K, Kameryan
Koning was eighth, Josh
Byard was seventh in the
two mile and Johnathan
Jenema placed ninth. Carissa Smith was also fourth
in the girls one mile.

Maloney said.
McBain (3-0 overall,
1-0 Highland) plays its
home opener tonight (Friday) against Pine River
(2-1, 1-0). The Bucks are
coming off a 34-7 victory
over Beal City last week
in their league opener.
McBain won last year’s
match-up 28-19.
“In order for us to win
this week we must tackle
and play fundamentally
sound on defense,” Ma-
loney said. “On offense
we need to have great
ball security and convert
in the red-zone. We can’t
afford to leave any points
