opportunity to watch his son graduate
By Rosemary Horvath
Correspondent
MAILING LABEL
When 18-year-old
Tyler Edwards receives
his diploma May 23 from
Marion High School, his
dad Chad Edwards will
share his son’s joy watching from a hospital bed
some 200 miles away.
Reached by phone on
his way to a track meet
Tuesday, Tyler expressed
gratitude for the opportunity.
“I think it’s great and
I’m happy my principal
set it up,” but he’s glad his
father is at the hospital. “I
feel it’s important for my
dad to be at the hospital
where they are taking care
of him,” he said. “That’s
my number one priority.”
Chad, 41, received an

Family friend Sherry
Jackson of Marion said
Chad will have three
weeks of recovery. Several
people close to him will be
trained to help monitor the
device.
The goal is for Chad
to “get healthy enough to
endure a heart transplant,”
Jackson said who was
Chad’s employer at Jackson Electric for more than
10 years.
Jackson thought of
Skyping the graduation
until Principal Beth Robb
offered a simpler way.
Robb arranged to supply Chad with a school
iPad inside his room at the
Frankel Cardiovascular
Center in Ann Arbor.
“We’ll have a practice
run at the awards assembly
Wednesday night,” Robb
said Tuesday. “Our technology department will run
the iPad on our side.”
Robb wanted to test the
connection and setup early
to avoid any glitches during the ceremony Friday.
She was sure “we could
make this happen.”
She had used software
called FaceTime. It’s a
video call using built-in
cameras she had used once
before so a mother who
was hospitalized could
watch her daughter’s election to the homecoming
court.
“Chad has been such a
great parent and advocate
for his two sons,” Robb
added, that she felt he
deserved to be part of his
son’s graduation..

graduation will be his
brother Austin, 15, sister
Alexis, 11, their mother
Jamie Monter, Chad’s
girlfriend Michelle Smith
and Jackson.
“Sherry was my dad’s
boss for more than 10
years. She’s like Grandma
Sherry to my little sister,
my brother and me.”
Tyler studied Engineering Technology two years
at the Wexford-Missaukee
Career Technical Center.
He expected a career in
automotive but decided to
join the Marines. Meanwhile, he is “slowly”
restoring a 1975 Chevy
Corvette, he said.
Chad’s home community has poured on prayers
and support. In June two
fund raisers are planned
for the family.
On June 7 from noon to
9 p.m. there is a benefit mud bog planned by
Countryboys Ruff n Tuff,

Marion Flashcard
Julie Traynor
Derailed!!
One Saturday
afternoon in May of 1959
a northbound Ann Arbor
Railroad train derailed just
north of Marion. Sixteen
of the fifty cars on the train
left the tracks north of the
siding switch, up the tracks
from Riverside Electric
Manufacturing.
The cars were thrown
from the tracks and piled
up like “jack straws”
according to a newspaper
account at that time.
The cars were thrown
onto their sides, one was
upended and another split
in two. Most were torn
from their trucks (wheels).
They were filled with
lumber, plywood and other
building materials.
Crews were immediately
dispatched and the clean
up started. Repair to
approximately an eighth
of a mile of damaged track
was begun. The only injury
reported was sustained by
brakeman Ivan Sisson, of
Owosso, who injured his
shoulder. He was treated
and released at Cadillac
Mercy. The Supervisor of the
line from Alma to Cadillac was Lee Scarbrough,
who lived with his family
in Marion. These photos
were recently donated to
the Marion Area Historical
Museum by his daughter,
Brenda Scarbrough Seals.
In addition to the Marion
derailment there are photos
of the Ann Arbor yard at
Cadillac, and more of an
unidentified derailment.
Several older photos show
the challenges heavy snow
gave the railroad. Most of the population
of Marion and anyone living within ear shot turned
out to have a look at the
‘great train wreck’. Folks
hiked up the tracks from
town or parked on Twentyone Mile Road and walked
down the tracks; passers by
also lined M-66. The great
derailment of 1959 was
huge entertainment for the
residents of Marion. There
was no definitive cause
ever given for the accident. By Pat Maurer

PUBLIC AUCTION
A 37 year-old Harrison
man, Timothy Allen Lyon,
is facing a count of assault
with intent to commit
murder after he allegedly
stabbed Jacob Anthony, 36,
also of Harrison, multiple
times during a fight last
Friday evening.
Clare County Sheriff’s
deputies were called to a
Frost Township residence
on Forest Road May 15
around 11:20 p.m. about
two men fighting in a
driveway. Deputies were
told while in route that one
of the men was dragging
the other down a neighbor’s driveway.
When deputies arrived
they found Jacob Anthony on the ground with
multiple stab wounds. They
were told Lyon ran east
from the scene.
Clare County deputies,
Frost Township Police,
Michigan State Police
troopers, Clare City Police
and Michigan Department
of Natural Resources officers began what became
an extensive twelve hour
search of the area using
police tracking dogs and
the Michigan State Police
Aviation Unit.
They were finally able
to locate and arrest Lyon in
the search area, a release
from the Sheriff’s Depart-
ment said. He was taken to
the Clare County Jail.
Lyon was arraigned in
80th District Court Tuesday by Magistrate Karen
Willing. He was charged
with attempted murder, a
felony carrying a maximum
sentence of life in prison;
and with a violent offender,
habitual offender fourth
offense notice, which carries a 25-year mandatory
minimum sentence if he is
convicted.
Bond was set at
$1,000,000 cash surety.
Lyon remains lodged in the
Clare County Jail.
Anthony was taken by
Mobile Medical Response
Ambulance to MidMichigan Medical Center – Clare
for treatment, where he
was listed earlier this week
in critical condition, but
improving daily. A family
member reported on Facebook Tuesday afternoon
that Anthony’s breathing
tubes had been removed
and he is expected to
recover.
The cause of the incident
is still under investigation, Sheriff John Wilson
reported. He said he would
like to commend the law
enforcement agencies,
Clare County Central Dispatch, medical personnel,
citizens, the Clare County
Emergency Manager and
media for a joint team
effort.
about a ten acre lake that
completely drained when
the dam burst. The property
is on the corner of Browns
Road and Silver Lake
Drive.
The water from the
private lake first drained
into Silver Lake and the
Doc and Tom Lake at Lake
of the Pines. Several areas
around the Silver Lake area
were flooded and water
was reported running over
Hemlock Road near North
Road.
The Clare County Road
Commission was contacted
to put up hazard signs and
barrels warning people
of the danger from the
flood waters. Clare County
Emergency Manager Jerry
Becker, the Department of
Natural Resources, Department of Environmental
Quality and Lincoln Township officials were also
notified, Parks reported.
The dam at Lake of
the Pines was opened
to release some of the
floodwaters, which were
still running over the road
Wednesday, Parks said.
Parks reported that the
owner of Owl Lake and the
dam said he heard a loud
noise Friday night around
6 p.m. and believes that is
when the dam burst. Parks
said the dam was built by
beavers.
Parks said two or three
homes had some flooding
on the property. “There
wasn’t any property damage,” Parks said, “but I
don’t know about road
damage. When I checked
there was still some water
running across the road.
The DEQ has been called
and will investigate the
cause of the break,” he
added.

given was the Alex Harrison Memorial Award for
$500 which went to Amber

Mike’s Musings

Carol Cope
Heroin is back and
easy to purchase
May, 1989 - 25 Years Ago
Most of us remember
“heroin” from back in the
day. In the 70’s and 80’s it
was considered one of the
most potent drugs on the
black market. If you took it
you usually got hooked and
getting off the nasty stuff
was very difficult.
Well don’t look now, but
heroin is making a huge
comeback. No longer in
just the big cities, the drug
that is responsible for so
many fatalities, is now in
our own backyard. It is
called our community’s
dirty little secret. A secret
because no one wants to
talk about it because it has
such a negative stigma,
but it exists on many street
corners in our area.
It was just reported yesterday that a Mt. Pleasant
fatality that occurred a couple months ago is blamed
on a heroin overdose. The
same is true in rural Beulah
where a girlfriend is being
charged in the death of her
boyfriend who overdosed
on heroin.
I listened to Defense
Attorney Dwight Carpenter
talk about it a few months
ago on a radio program.
The Clare attorney said
we wouldn’t believe how
many teens and young
adults are hooked on heroin
in Mt. Pleasant. He represents several who have
been charged with the illegal booty. Of course, with
20,000 students on any
given day in MP, there are
all types of drug problems
including a proliferation
of prescription drugs, but
heroin is taking over.
I talked to a girl
recently I will identify
only as “Amy” who is in a
rehab facility trying to get
her life straight in northern
Michigan. She affirmed
what Carpenter had to say.
In fact she told me “heroin
is easier to purchase than
marijuana” in Traverse
City, Cadillac and other
Northern Michigan cities.
She further explained
it’s all about the money.
Heroin now costs much
less than cocaine or any
other drug including hydrocodone and oxycodone,
with the exception of marijuana. Even so, traffickers
from Detroit and Chicago
find central and northern
Michigan to be terrific
areas to sell their wares.
“They can buy it in
Detroit for $60 a gram,
and turn around and sell it
up here for $150 a gram. I
in turn, she said, can turn
around and sell it to a user
for much more than that.
Everybody’s making a pile
of money.”
An average dose of
heroin is 1/10 of a gram
and sells for about $25 in
our communities. Imagine if Amy is buying a
gram for $150, and selling
one-tenth of it for $25, she
is making $100 on every
gram she sells.
Rich Isaacson a special
agent for the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Detroit said
people are turning to heroin
because the cost of prescription drugs is becoming
too high. “Across the country, people addicted to opi-
ate painkillers frequently
can’t afford their addiction,
and they’re starting to use
heroin.”
The U.S. Department
of Health and Human
Services says heroin users
have more than doubled
since 2007. Increasingly
those addicted to prescription drugs or meth are
turning to heroin because
it is cheap and available
whether you’re in Detroit
or Harrison.
First it was meth, then
bath salts, and now the
drug of choice is heroin.
I’m not implying meth is
not out there, it is, still in
great numbers. And the
abuse of prescription drugs
is still a prolific problem. But more and more,
we are hearing about the
comeback drug- that nasty,
most-addictive inner city
drug called heroin.
It’s no longer a “dirty
little secret.” It’s here and
we need to make sure we
educate our children and
young adults about it. A
heroin addict spends each
day looking for his next
fix. It is extremely difficult
to kick, and occasionally
leads to death. It is the last
drug we want to see being
ingested by our youth. Say
“no” if you have the opportunity.

Bits & Pieces
Pat Maurer, Correspondent
Wild babies in the yard!
Well I just wrote a column about wild babies and
guess what? This week we
enjoyed watching one right
in the middle of the yard
for most of a morning.
A newborn fawn was
“hiding” in our fire pit
Monday morning. Poor
thing was just soaked
because it was raining,
and that fire pit is full of
charred wood, ashes and
refuse, but evidently the
fawn’s Mama thought that
was a good place to hide
her baby.
And I have to admit,
when the fawn was lying
down you couldn’t see it
well at all. Trouble was it
was such an uncomfortable
bed, it kept getting up and
moving around. I suppose
the pit had water in it as
well. Anyway it looked
pretty miserable out there.
Lisa stopped over that
afternoon and when I told
her about our “visitor,” she
said, “Bet you wanted to
go out there and pet it…”
Fact is I did, but like I
said last week, “Look but
don’t go to near and don’t
touch!”
By around 11 a.m., the
doe showed up and collected the youngster and
we haven’t seen either of
them since, but I’ll bet
they are still around the
yard somewhere. I just
hope the newest “safe
spot” is a little more comfortable…
Guess the morels are
done around here too. We
did get enough for a meal,
but only a couple since
then. Son Don made up for
it though, called tonight to
say grandson Jesse found
a big bunch in their yard
while mowing and wanted
to know whether to dry or
refrigerate them. I always
soak mine in heavy warm
salt water and let them
dry, but since Jesse plans
to cook them tomorrow,
I told Don I’m sure the
refrigerator would be just
fine.
I also mentioned that if
he had any leftover that he
wanted to get rid of, we
would be glad to take them
off his hands…
We are still procrastinating on the yard work,
although Jack did spend
most of a day last weekend
cleaning up so he could
mow. He filled our trailer
with sticks. We couldn’t
mow much of the west
side of our drive anyway
though. It has rained so
much that the ground there
is absolutely saturated. By
the time if finally dries out,
we may be putting up hay.
The magnolia tree has
blossomed again. At least
part of it has. We have
what looks like a mostly
dead tree/bush with about
two dozen pink flowers
on it – pathetic. Guess the
overnight frost we had a
few days back got it.
The lilacs will be
making up for it this year
though. When I checked
today between articles, I
found loads of buds on every lilac bush in the yard.
No blooms on the flowering crab trees yet though,
but I finally do have a few
flowers popping up in
the yard again. Even the
peonies are looking pretty
The Marion
good and the ants are
ecstatic and clamoring all
over them.
I love peonies, but never could get them to grow.
Old friend Sarah showed
up one day with the goodies and planted them for
me and about four years
later they started blooming
every spring. She said the
trick is to barely cover the
roots you plant with soil.
Put them too deep and
they won’t bloom.
They sure are beautiful
if rain doesn’t drive those
heavy blooms down on
the ground while they are
flowering.
I sure do love spring
– everything is growing, green and brand new
again. I only wish May
could last at least a couple
of months. Look at your
calendar, it’s almost over
already…

HEADLINE - MARION HOUSE
TRAVELS WITH 100
YEARS OF HISTORY IN
TOW - The Alice Friend home
literally hit the road
Tuesday morning
after the Village Council
accepted a bid from Robert
and Angela Vanderhoef to
remove the house from the
property. The Vanderhoefs
were happy to have the
house and moved it to their
property on 50th Avenue
near 19 Mile Road.
For Clara Lou Birtles
and other descendants of
the Friend family, were
pleased of the councils
decision to move the house
rather than destroy it.
“I have many fond
memories of the house. It
was a very pleasant place
to live, very cool in the
summer. There›s just a lot
of memories,» said Clara
Lou (Friend) Birtles who
grew up in the house.
No actual date can be
found for the building of
the house but a photo dated 1893 shows the house
standing across the river
from the old Dunhams
Shingle Mill located on the
spot now occupied by the
River Inn Restaurant.
Ed Friend, patriarch
of the Marion branch of
the Friend family and
prominent businessman
in Marion, purchased the
home in 1916. In 1937,
Ed’s daughter-in-law, Alice Friend won first place
in the biggest subscription drive ever held by the
Marion Press. As the
first place winner, Alice
won a 1937 Chevrolet
Coach worth $702.07.
Mrs. Friend apparently
needed a house more than
a car and approached
her father-in-law, Ed
Friend, and they agreed
on a trade, the car for the
house.
Clara Lou Birtles was
just seven years old when
her mother, Alice Friend,
won the car and traded for
the house. Back in 1937
the house would be considered a spacious place to
live, but today would
seem crowded. Clara
Lou’s three brothers, Donald, Ceril and Forest,
shared one bedroom
upstairs while her two sisters, Marjorie (Friend)
Williams and Mildred
(Friend) Smith shared the
other upstairs bedroom.
Clara Lou being the
youngest slept downstairs
on the couch.
Long after the children
left the nest, Alice Friend
continued to live in “her”
house until shortly before
her death in 1986.
While the Friend
descendants were relieved
that the old homestead was
saved, Clara Lou was also
thankful that the trees had
also been saved as most
were over 100 year old.
She wanted future generations to enjoy their beauty.

Reflections
By Roger Campbell, author, broadcaster columnist
and pastor for 22 years
When it helps to remember
During a former memorial season, my column
carried readers back to a
country cemetery where I
reminisced about family
members who were no
longer with us. My title
that week was “When
It Hurts to Remember;”
a fitting title, I believe,
because remembering the
passing of people who
have been dear to us can
sometimes cause the pain
we felt at their loss to
return.
The shortest verse in the
Bible describes our Lord’s
broken heart as He stood
at the grave of His friend,
Lazarus: “Jesus wept,”
wrote John (11:35). But,
though memories may
sometimes open fountains
of tears, they can also
mend broken hearts and
allow us to relive moments of joy with those we
remember.
My wise wife has
memory places arranged
throughout our home that
help us revisit our roots
and in memory relive
happy moments with loved
ones at different stages of
their lives and ours. Visit
our living room and you’ll
see pictures of our grandparents and parents in
youth among those of their
children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren.
Climb our stairs and in the
hall between bedrooms get
in on the action of busy
lives in a panorama of
growing up, vacationing
and enjoying life. At the
end of the hall, look back
through generations.
Do these photos ever
invoke a touch of sadness
over those we remember
but who have left for
heaven?
Of course.
But we’re glad they
once lived among us and
that we now know where
they are. These are the
positives of faith that make
memories more than sad
movies.
When Jesus neared the
end of His time with His
disciples, He met with
them in an upper room
to share a final meal and
let them know what was
ahead. “Let not your heart
be troubled,” He said
(John 14). Then, assuring them that better things
awaited them, added: “In
my Father’s house are
many mansions: if it were
not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place
for you.”
These words of comfort have entered hospital
rooms, been whispered
on battlefields and spoken
in cemeteries to grieving
families over the background sounds of bugles
and bagpipes while grateful and grieving people
have gathered for words of
hope while honoring and
remembering those who
have given their lives in
the cause of freedom.
Dale Johnson was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam.
When he was considering a return to battle, he
seemed confident he’d
make it home. “This bird
shoots back,” he told me.
But Dale didn’t make it
back, going instead to his
heavenly home. For his
memorial service, I wrote
a poem titled “My Pilot,”
that ends as follows:
“I HAVE A PILOT IN
THE SKY,
And I shall meet Him
by and by;I’ll walk beside
Him on that shore, And
stay with Him forevermore.”
Taking time to remember can hurt. We’re not
made of wood or stone
and like our Lord may find
tears flowing out of memories. But remembering
a life of faith well lived,
culminating in the assurance of heaven, will create
its own memorial; one that
dries all tears and rests in
confident expectation that
the best is yet to come.

Memorial Day
By Julie Traynor
With Memorial Day
once again upon us, it’s
time to think of cemetery
duties.
In this neck of the
woods, we take our Memorial Day and cemetery
decoration quite seriously.
It seems that Marionites
who no longer live here
come home twice a year.
Once, in the spring, for a
more solemn visit to tend
to those gone ahead, and
again at Thanksgiving to
visit family and friends
before the long winter sets
in.
So, as we approach
Memorial Day and the
first big visit home of the
season, a bit of info on the
largest cemetery in our
area.
Marion’s Greenwood
Cemetery was established
in 1892 on three acres
of cleared land north
of the corner of what is
now 20 Mile Road and
40th Avenue. A cement
platform, for speeches and
patriotic celebrations was
built in 1929. Seven more
acres were added in 1942
and a building for vault
and equipment storage
was built in 1952. To date,
there have been 2406
burials at Greenwood.
This week members of
Marion’s Blue Mountain
VFW Post, will place
new American flags on
the graves of the 275 plus
veterans buried there. The
oldest veterans served in
the Civil War.
From 1918 until his
retirement in 1962, Ben
Oles, was sexton. He and
his wife Mabel devoted
countless hours to the
care and beautification
of Greenwood. And it is
a beautiful place, thanks
to the efforts of many. As
early as 1901 folks were
looking ahead and planning for the future of Marion’s burial ground. According to the Marion
centennial book, Marion 100 Years Moving
Ahead, the township began
by planting trees. They
invested in 50 Carolina
poplars, 100 catalpas,
12 mountain ash and 12
horse chestnut trees. Two
local residents were hired
to plant the trees on the
original three acres.
Many of the original
trees have succumbed
to disease or unforeseen
weather situations in the
past 100 years, yet many
remain. Several horse
chestnut trees grow along
the east-west drive by
the original well. They
still bloom and produce a
bounty of horse chestnuts
each year. The surviving
catalpas provide copious
blooms and seed pods and
the remaining poplars are
elderly and large. Each
carries scars where limbs
have been lost through
the years to wind and ice.
Large falling limbs from a
summer storm a few years
ago gave Marion a poweroutage lasting several
hours. It took the cemetery
crew several days to clean
up the damage.
When the township
purchased and added an
additional seven acres
to Greenwood in 1942,
known commonly as ‘the
new part’ to differentiate it from the ‘old part’;
arborvitae, a tall growing variety of cedar, was
planted at block intervals.
The arborvitae gives the
new part a more formal
look.
I do not know, and
it is not recorded, but I
would be willing to guess
that some of the very
first shrubs planted at
Greenwood were various
varieties of that pioneer
favorite, the lilac bush.
They were soon joined
by honeysuckle bushes,
snowball bushes, mock
orange, hydrangea, spirea
and something called
a sweet pea tree. There
is also the occasional
hardy old-fashioned rose
bush. Greenwood is also
home to a lot of perennial plants and flowering
bulbs, among them, daffodils, tulips, iris, peony,
Virginia blue bells, hosta
and an array of daylilies.
Greenwood Cemetery
blooms from spring to fall.
When I was a kid, I
was Grandma’s cemetery
assistant. It was a job we
took most seriously. We
had several graves to tend,
among them Grandpa
Berry, grandma’s parents,
Milt and Lillie Beebe, her
sister Anna Emory and her
sister-in-law Maude. A week before Memorial Day we’d line up the
pots to see what we needed, then make a trip up
town to purchase plants.
Grandma liked the classic
planter look and bought
geraniums, petunias, marigolds and ivy. We planted
on her picnic table and
watered them well. In fact,
we babied them against
harsh weather until the
day before Memorial Day
when Mom or Aunt Lola
arrived to take us and the
planters to the cemetery.
Grandma always
planned to take a big,
fresh bouquet of lilacs
to Grandpa Berry on
Memorial Day. Every year
she fussed and worried
over the approaching lilac
bloom, afraid of frost. If
lilacs failed, we’d opt for
iris and apple blossoms.
There was always
something blooming in her
yard, but lilacs were the
clear favorite and remain
so.
For Grandma, the
annual Memorial Day
visit to the cemetery was
as much a social occasion
as one of decoration.
She hoped to see and
looked for old friends and
relatives from out of town,
home to tend graves. For
her it was the chance to
say hello and catch up
with old Marion friends.
And it was the same for
her old friends. Decoration
Day, as Memorial Day
was originally called, was
and is a time to remember
and honor the nation’s war
dead. It is also a time to
remember our roots and
take care of the family
plot. And you never know
who you may run into doing the very same thing.

20th Century Club
The 20th Century Club
of Marion met in May
with hosts, June Kime,
Sarah Blackledge and
Carol Berghoef.
A dessert and beverages
were served. Yellow
daffodils decorated the
tables along with yellow
streamers and stained
glass flowers.
Mike Wilcox, Publisher
& Editor of the Marion
Press and Clare County
Review was guest speaker.
He spoke on the Marion
Press. It was noted that
a paper was as good as
the support it received
from the local community.
The Press has this
support. Members were
encouraged to send news
and letters to the Press
and keep it informed to
happening in the Marion
area. It was noted that Carol
Cope is not in the office
at this time but news can
be sent by email or in
person to Julie Traynor at
Christie›s Potting Shed. Mike has owned the
Press for a year and a
half. He enjoys the small
weekly’s and has been
involved with 30 newspapers through the years. A
question and answer
period followed.
Members discussed
repair of the Depot area
fountain. Flowers will be
planted soon in the area.
Beverly Orvis will
head up the nominating
committee for new
officers.
June Kime announced
there will be an auction in June. Members
urged to bring items and
be ready to bid on others. A potluck lunch will
be served. Members and
guests are asked to bring
own tableware and a dish
to pass. The hosts will
furnish the dessert and
beverages.

Love INC of Wexford
& Osceola counties was
recently gifted with 17
children’s bicycles from
McLain Cycle & Fitness in Traverse City
and Cadillac. The bikes
were gathered as part of
McLain’s “Trade Up”
program.
When children, whose
families purchased their
bike at McLain’s, need
a new bike, 100 percent
of their purchase price is
applied toward their next
bike purchase. “We want
to pass on the love of
bikes to the next generation,” Kris McLain
explained.

This year, 188 Michigan
hospitals, physician practices, nursing homes and
community coalitions were
honored with the award,
which recognizes participants for their dedication
to improve health care

in Michigan. To be eligible
for the award, participating organizations must
have achieved, maintained
and continually improved

milestones.
“Spectrum Health Reed

evidence-based medicine
in order to review their
current processes and
create interventions that
improved outcomes” said
Barb Cote, director of
quality. “We are extremely
proud of our ongoing work
to constantly improve
patient safety. The daily,
rigorous efforts of many
throughout the organization to provide the highest
quality of care reflect our
commitment to patient
safety.
