WalMart asks for
1 year extension
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
The Clare City Planning
Commission will consider
a request from Walmart’s
architects at their next
meeting September 14.
In a letter dated August
17, Paul Furtaw, P.E. of
Bergmann Associates,
planners, architects and engineers for Walmart, asked
for a one year extension
of their site plan because,
Furtaw said, “At this point,
Walmart is not currently in
a position to ‘substantially
begin construction’.”
He continued, “Walmart
offers several valid reasons
for this request to extend
the approval period: to
accommodate bid duration
which can sometimes take
several months; to attempt
to time the bids with that
period of the year where
pricing may be optimal;
and to mitigate winter conditions and begin construction at a more favorable
time of year.”
The letter included a
copy of the proposed site
plan and the application
fee to extend approval of
the site plan. City Manager
Ken Hibl reported that
construction would not begin in August at the second
July meeting of the City
Commission. Construction
on the new supercenter
was originally planned to
start this year.
The site plans shows a
150,000 square foot store
complete with a pharmacy,
Garden Center, Tire &
Lube Express and a fuel
station. The planned new
complex was located on 18
acres on Colonville Road,
east of Old U.S. 27 (Clare
Avenue) and just on the
west side of the new $7.5
million Consumer’s Energy Service Center in the
new Clare North Industrial
Park.
The new supercenter
is expected to employ up
to 300 associates, Anne
Hatfield, Director of Communication for Walmart
said in an email early
this year, “We will begin
accepting applications for
employment about two to
three months before the
store opens.” If construction begins next summer,
the new complex will open
in 2018.
In early July, Acting
City Manager Steven
Kingsbury had said that
several other businesses
may also be opening at the
north end of Clare. “There
have been indications
that five additional businesses have been looking
to purchase property,” he
said. He didn’t say which
businesses are interested in
property at the north end
of the City
The Clare North Industrial Park is also growing.
Besides Consumer’s
Energy and a new 80,000
square foot “spec” building constructed by the
127 Group LLC, the new
Industrial Park will soon
add a third manufacturer.
Loren Cole, owner of
Gateway Refrigeration,
has purchased approximately 2.5 acres in the
industrial park near the
new water tower and will
build a 10,000 square foot
building to house the firm.
He also has plans to add
two more 10,000 square
foot buildings on the site
in the future, Kingsbury
said in the July interview.

Car Tour stops in Clare, Harrison
Hundreds of Classic Cars lined the downtown streets of Clare when the Old U.S. 27 Motor Tour rolled into the

Ott family awarded dad’s WWII medals
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
U.S. Senator Gary
Peters (D) was in Clare at
the VFW post Tuesday to
honor local World War II
Veteran Sgt. Norman Walter Ott who died last year,
and to present five military
medals earned by Ott but
never presented to him.
The awards presented
included the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with
four Bronze Service Stars,
World War II Victory
Medal, U.S. Army’s Good
Conduct Medal, World
War II Honorable Service
Lapel Button and American Campaign Medal.
Peter’s office helped
secure the commendations
after being contacted by
Mr. Ott’s daughter Kim to
ensure his contributions to
our nation were properly
honored.
Ott’s daughter, retired
dentist and now renowned
artist Dr. Kim Ott Gray
and his brother James Ott
were awarded the medals.
Peters, a former Lt.
Commander in the U.S.
Navy Reserve, said “I am
honored to present these
commendations to Mr.
Ott’s family in recognition of his service and
sacrifice during World
4WD War
II. Sergeant Ott is a48-60”

his fellow service member
and friend Cpl. Lutz, who

was seriously injured.
As a result of his selfless
lifesaving efforts, Ott’s
hearing was damaged
which resulted in his total
deafness later in life.
He enlisted at the age of
19 and was stationed in the
South Pacific Company in
Saipan. As a sergeant, he
was leader of a squadron.
The ship he was on,
an old converted tanker,
broke down while on route
to Saipan and was disabled
and powerless for 52 days
in the Pacific. No help
came and eventually the
crew was able to repair the
ship’s motor themselves
and proceed to their base.
After another harrowing
return trip by ship, Ott was
discharged on Christmas
Eve, 1945.

in dad’s murder
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
In mid June, Angela
Hempel, 31 of Farwell pled
guilty to lying to police,
concealing death and as an
accessory after the fact in
connection with her father
Leonard Hempel’s murder
in April.
This week she was sentenced to one year in jail
for her part in the murder.
At arraignments in May
by Judge Joshua Farrell, in
80th District Court she and
her boyfriend James Bryan
Kuhns, 34, also of Farwell,
had both been charged
with open murder.
Leonard Hempel was
reported missing April 26,
but he had not been seen
since April 9.
Family and friends
searching for him discovered a “disturbed” area
in the garden behind his
home on South Road and
Stonehenge Drive in Surrey Township May 1. They
found clothing believed to
be Leonard Hempel’s and
notified police.
Clare County Sheriff’s
Department deputies and
State Police were called
and a body was found
which was later identified
as the missing man.
Both Kuhns and Hempel were arrested for his
murder. Kuhns has been
charged with his murder.

Continued from page 1A
Norm Ott grew up on
a farm in the Detroit area.
He was a Tigers fan and
often snuck into games
with friends, daughter Kim
reported.
After the loss of his
father in 1936, he went to
Henry Ford Trade School
and became a die maker.
He worked as a foreman at
Chrysler until the family moved to the Whitehall area. There he and
his younger brother Jim
started a small business,
built a store, drive in and a
trailer park. Because it was
a seasonal business, during
the winter Norm worked
at a shade factory to support the family. When his
brother Earl later joined
the business Norm moved
on and enlisted in the U.S.
Army Air Force, spending the next three years in
World War II.
After the war, Norm
met and married Patricia
F. Brennan, now BrennanOtt-Nyeste, Sr. They were
married for 25 years and
had six children losing one
at birth.
At the presentation
Tuesday Senator Peters
said he was pleased to do
this. “It’s my honor and
privilege,” he said.
Peters made the visit
during his week-long #RideMI Motorcycle Tour. An
avid motorcycle rider, Peters was traveling through
26 counties with over 12
stops over the five days, to
discuss his work on behalf
of Michigan in the U.S.
Senate.
“It’s my first motorcycle
trip across Michigan on
Senate business,” he said.
“It’s a great way to meet
people.
He began the second
day of his tour at Camp
Grayling Joint Maneuver
Training Center, the largest
National Guard training facility in the United States.
Following his stop in
Clare, he was headed to
Reed City, to meet with
community leaders and
officials from Connect
Michigan to learn more
about their collaborative
effort to expand broadband
in Osceola County.
Wednesday, Senator
Peters’ #RideMI Motorcycle Tour continued in
Mecosta, Newaygo, and
Allegan counties.
Peters’ office helped
secure the commendations for Norman Ott after
being contacted by Mr.
Ott’s family to ensure his
contributions to our nation
were properly honored. As
an advocate for Michigan’s
service members, military
installations and defense
manufacturing sector in
the U.S. Senate, Peters
urged anyone with a similar situation of unawarded
service medals, to contact
him at peters.senate.gov.
“They can contact us even
for replacement of lost
medals,” he said.
In 2014 Peters was
elected to the United States
Senate seat previously held
by retiring Democratic
Senator Carl Levin. He
was unopposed in the
Democratic primary and
defeated Republican Terri
Lynn Land in the general
election. He was the only
non-incumbent Democrat
to win a 2014 Senate election.
It’s been a busy summer
for Deepak Gupta, Engineer/Manager of the Clare
County Road Commission.
But it’s been a productive one, too.
“We are having one of
our busiest years in the last
10 years and look forward
to increased state funding
dollars in 2017,” Gupta
said.
Townships contributions for road work has had
a huge part in increased
activity this year. That
amount was $424,107 in
2014, and increased to
$861,083 this year. It’s
expected to be $1,350,000
when the dust settles for
2015.
Chip Seal projects
for 2016 in the county
included
20.78 miles and were
completed using federal,
state and road commission
funds, Gupta said, adding
that township and road
commission funds covered
15 miles of road, making it
35.8 miles total.
Gupta anticipated the
estimated gravel to be
placed on roads for 2016
in the county would be
100,000 tons and cover 23
miles.
“We are about 75
percent done to date,” he
said. “The program’s going
pretty well. We’re going to
have by the end of September a majority of the
work done. We have a lot
of gravel projects left, and
asphalt work less. We’re
doing well.”

The midway will close
at 6 p.m., winding up the

It’s been a hot summer
but that hasn’t bothered the
road commission.
“The weather’s been
good,” Gupta said. “For
us, the least rain days is
better for us. We’re able
to do more construction. But when we don’t
have enough rain during
the summer, the gravel
roads become dusty and
residents are complaining
about it. But overall, less
rain through the summer
is helpful in getting things
done.”
Personnel wise, “compared to last year, we’re
at the same level,” Gupta
said. “Next year in 2017,
we’ll have almost a million
dollars in extra funding
coming from the state, we
believe. A majority goes
for roads, asphalt and
things of that nature.”
Summer’s almost over,
but it’s going to stay busy
for the road commission,
Gupta indicated.
“We’re going to be
going strong all the way
until the snow hits and the
ground freezes up,” Gupta
said. “We’ve got brush
cutting to do, we’ve got
tree trimming. We stay as
busy as possible. When
the snow hits, then we get
more busy. Our work force
is designed to stay busy all
year long.”

Historic Old U.S. 27 Tour motors in to Clare
By Steve Landon
Correspondent
A late summer tradition
rolled in to beautiful downtown Clare last Thursday
night after a long journey
north on old US 27.
The Historic Old 27
Motor Tour arrived in the
early evening hours for
their annual over night stay
and visit with countless car
buffs that lined McEwan
Street a few hours before
their arrival.
Clear skies and beautiful summer weather
provided the perfecting setting for over 425
beauties of the road. This
year’s line-up filled McEwan St. from just beyond
the railroad crossing down
past the hospital. If a visitor could not find a vehicle
of the dreams or one they
would love to own in this
bunch chances are it didn’t
exist.
The band Night Shift
with singer Teresa Pryor
provided music while
visitors and vehicle owners chatted with fans and
checked out area merchants.
On Friday morning the
tour headed north for a
stop in Harrison during the
annual street fair.
If you have never had
a chance to catch this
tour make plans to come
to Clare next year to see
beauty and history in motion on Historic Old US
27.

Labor Day – that means fall!
Price of EpiPen nothing but
greed personified
Bring the price of an
EpiPen down, and do it
now, Mylan. You are a
greedy drug company with
few moral values, and it is
time you change your ways.
Sorry but that is how I
feel. The EpiPen has been
a lifesaver to thousands of
people who suffer from severe allergic reactions, and
to raise the price of the once
affordable lifesaver from a
little over $100 to now over
$600 is outrageous.
I know many people
who carry the pen, or used
to. One is my wife, who
if stung by a bee, must be
rushed to an emergency
room without her EpiPen.
She hasn’t had one
since she tried to renew her
prescription a year ago and
learned that the price would
be $600. We simply can’t
afford it, and our health
insurance won’t contribute a
dime towards it.
A friend of mine is in the
same boat. He feels he is
risking his life without the
pen, but again, he can’t afford it. Schools everywhere
have made it mandatory that
students with allergies have
at least two pens on their
person at all times.
If you have three kids in
school, add it up. Do you
know what a financial strain
that is to some parents?
The EpiPen costs many
hundreds more than school
supplies.
Wells Fargo pharmaceutical analyst David Maris
said, “It’s outrageous.
People shouldn’t be fooled
by the idea that the system
made them do it (Mylan
claims a broken health care
system has made them raise
prices). Mylan is to blame
for the high prices period.”
Mylan has raised the
price of their EpiPen fifteen
times since 2009. Not once,
not twice but fifteen timesfrom $124 to now $609.
Actually in 2007 when
Mylan bought the rights to
the drug, the cost was $54.
To top it off, many
buyers are outraged at
the baseball-esque salary Mylan’s CEO Heather
Bresch is paid. Rising profits has allowed her to bring
home $18 million last year,
and $54 million in the last
three years.
One has to wonder, since
Bresch is the daughter of
U.S. Senator Joe Manchin
whether there is any connection to the fact that the
Federal Drug Administration has refused to legalize
any of EpiPen’s possible
competitors. That’s right,
many companies have
sought to have an Epi-like
pen approved by the FDA,
but meet roadblocks at
every turn.
Thus EpiPen enjoys exclusivity and a profit margin
that has quadrupled since
2009.
On their behalf, Bresch
and Mylan will say most
people have insurance companies that pay the bulk of
the $600 price, so it doesn’t
affect individuals that much.
They claim only 4% of buyers pay the $600.
Personally I have a hard
time believing those claims.
And even if they are true,
isn’t this what is wrong with
our health care system?
Since when is it okay for
greedy drug companies to
charge ridiculous prices to
insurance companies?
“No one’s expecting
Mylan to give away their
products. But empathy is the
most human emotion. And
when you raise your price
year after year—by a lotfor a drug that’s lifesaving,
it shows a complete lack of
empathy,” noted Maris.
I agree completely.
Mylan needs to take a second look at their corporate
mission.
Maybe the House Oversight Committee, which
is hauling Bresch and her
cohorts in front of them in
September to explain the
increases, will wake Mylan
up.
Parents who host, lose the most

What do we do
to reduce alcohol,
tobacco, and other
drug use?
Early intervention is the key
to stopping drug
and alcohol use.
Late elementary
and early middle
school appear
to be the time
frame in which
students begin
using alcohol and
drugs. Therefore,
children need to
learn refusal skills
and the reasons
for not using, at a
young age.

“Work Harder…A Life Lesson”
Welcome back to school!
We are off and running,
learning already taking shape
in your public schools. It
won’t be long before there are
challenges for our kids in their
classes, which makes the following lesson a pivotal one:
Not long ago I had a great
conversation with my oldest
daughter, now 15. We had
traveled across the state for
one of her soccer games and
enjoyed a beautiful drive. At
the game, several calls went
against her team, which led
to difficult circumstances and
one angry coach. Her coach
disagreed with many of the
calls, became more and more
animated, and eventually
singled out the referee with
both sarcastic humor and a
confrontational tone. I was uncomfortable. As a
former coach and athlete I’m
well versed in bad calls. But
I’m also well versed in good
calls, in bad play and good
play, in poor effort and great
effort. With guidance from
my parents and teachers and
coaches, I learned to rely on
myself and my teammates &
coaches AND not to make
excuses or place blame on others. I learned to work harder.
The referee eventually
halted the game and issued a
“yellow” card to our coach. I
was nearby in my role as
on the sugar for the last
two weeks of August and
the first two of September,
hoping to give those little
characters a little extra
energy for their long trip
south. By the middle of
September they are usually
gone again for the year.
Pretty soon we will be
talking about the annual
fall color tours around the
area. I have already seen a
few trees turning here and
there, but the real burst of
color comes in late September and early October
in our area.
Fall colors in this state
are so beautiful that you
just can’t seem to remember them from one year to
the next. They are always
a new and incredible
surprise when we have a
really good year. I hope
this is going to be one of
them. When the sun shines
and all the colors are so
brilliant they seem to be
lighted from inside, that is
a great fall season.
You ever notice that
every season has its own
special scent? Winter is
cold and clean, spring
brings the smell of things
turning green and summer scents are sweet and
drowsy and warm.
There is a special scent
to fall. It’s faintly spicy
with a hint of smoke in the
air, which seems so crisp
and clean sometimes that
you just have to go for a
walk.
I’m ready for it.
Inhumane cruelty to cage animal for life

fall flowers are in bloom
again.
From the roadside
stands I have been seeing
around the area, I’d say despite our hot, dry summer
the gardens have finally
come in. There seems to
be lots of fresh produce
around. Good thing too
because despite all my
watering efforts, my gardening efforts have been
a dismal failure. Guess I
will just have to buy some
of those fresh green beans
and tomatoes this year…
The bird feeders are still
going strong too, although
except for noisy visits by
a couple of huge pileated
woodpeckers, we haven’t
any very exotic visitors out
there. The regulars are still
coming though. We’ve had
loads of purple and gold
finches, chickadees, sparrows, smaller woodpeckers (who seem to like our
house nearly as much as
the suet cakes), mourning
doves by the dozens and
of course blue jays, who
are beautiful, but very loud
and brash. And a crowd of
squirrels and chipmunks
of course, all stuffing
themselves in preparation
for winter.
Lately we have had a
group of black squirrels
scooting through the yard
under the feeder, each
lugging a walnut, which
they promptly bury out in
the back yard. Guess that
means loads of baby walnut trees next spring.
The hummingbirds are
still fighting over their
feeder, although I am expecting them to leave again
soon. We have had around
eight vying for seats on the
single feeder every day.
The aerial feats going on
out there seem impossible
in their rush to fill up on
Jack’s double sweet brew.
He always doubles up
The weatherman may
not be saying it, and these
sunny warm days we have
been having aren’t showing it, but you know that
fall is in the air again.
Labor Day is Monday
and August is over already.
I just don’t know where
this summer has gone…
School started last Monday, earlier this year, but I
think the kids were ready
to go back again.
Plus, the temperature in
the evening keeps dropping
lower…and lower. The
nights are flirting with the
40s and especially in the
mornings, you can actually
feel fall in the air.
The Clare County Fair
is over for another year,
the annual Old U.S. 27 Car
Tour has come and gone,
Harrison’s big anniversary
celebration is over and Farwell’s Labor Day Celebration is here again.
Festivities begin today
and will wind up on Monday. For more about what
is going on this year, check
out this week’s paper.
You better enjoy this
weekend, because when
it’s over it really will be
the end of the summer.
The end of the season…
Fall is a great time of
year, possibly my favorite season of all, not just
because of the anticipation
of the fall colors, which
are certainly wonderful,
and not just because the
air feels crisp and clean,
but simply because pretty
soon, we won’t have any
more yard work.
With the “drought’ going on for about six weeks
this summer, most of the
work hasn’t been mowing but just trying to keep
things watered and alive
this year. Now the rain
is back and suddenly the
grass seems to be growing
an inch overnight and the
a parent while the referee
continued to speak respectfully
and calmly to the coach. Our
coach responded rudely and
challenged the referee once
again. Out came the “red”
card, the referee ejected our
coach from the game. The
coach and some parents
objected, but the referee is in
charge and suddenly we were
without the coach. Needless to
say, we lost a close contest. My daughter joined me in
the car for the ride home. We
started with a trip of about
100 feet to the head referee. I
got out and apologized to the
referee...I was embarrassed
by our coach. He had quit
coaching our girls and become
obsessed with the referee. He
was a model for what NOT to
be when you grow up. It was
a good lesson for my daughter
and a good reminder for me.
The ref had given a yellow
“warning” card. My daughter
and I discussed this: when you
don’t heed a warning, what
happens next is ALL on you.
As my dad taught me
long ago: when you don’t
like the course of the game,
change it. Work harder. Overcome. You will work for good
coaches and bad...good bosses
and bad...with good teammates and bad. The constant
is you. What will you do to
make it great? You’ll also
play with good referees and
bad, good referees who have
bad days, and you’ll learn that
the way you saw the play isn’t
always the way it took place.
And so what if they were
wrong...get up and make the
next play. These same lessons
apply in school and in life. We
will experience tough times,
teachers and bosses we don’t
connect with, co-workers we
don’t see eye to eye with. We
can only control ourselves, and
to be successful we must do
exactly that. I was lucky. My parents,
my teachers, my coaches
seemed to know all the secrets
of life. Sports and school
are great venues for teaching
about life...if we keep it in
perspective. I hope we can
pass some of these secrets on
to our kids both at home and
at school. Rescuing our kids
with excuses or blaming others
is no way to live. Let’s teach
our kids that they can control
themselves...that they can
choose to work harder to make
their lives better. Thanks for
listening. Together, we make
Clare a great place to live and
learn!

Dear Editor,
Of all of the inhumane
cruelty of mankind’s kindness?
I once knew of a small,
very beautiful little dog
named Goldie. Like a
little cocker spaniel, I
guess is his breed, owned
by a woman I had dated
periodically over some
years past, with a golden
colored coat of fur who
was chained up in an outside cage, next to her large
garage. A large enough
cage. So the little dog
could see all around him,
with no one there to see.
Over some years I asked
the woman, what happened
to the little dog, Goldie?
She said that “He had went
and gone crazy, acting very
peculiarly.” She never allowed Goldie in her home.
After some time,
without questioning her I
figured out what happened
to the little dog, Goldie.
She had left him in that
cage, outside, next to her
garage, day after day, night
after night, year after year,
all by himself. Giving him
no attention or playing
with him whatsoever.
His owner, stupidly,
shamefully, disconcertingly, carelessly, not knowing
or realizing that is what
little Goldie needed. Over
a long time of loneliness
with no one around him,
no creature, no person at
all whatsoever to be with,
to have company with, to
play with. Being dogs like
people, they have a spirit, a
soul, feelings and emotions

precious little spirit
I know what it is like
to be alone and suffer
loneliness. And I have
been hurt many times by
way of inhumane ever evil
inconsiderate, selfish, selfcentered, narcissistic, ever
evil stupid people. Though
I have a cat I dearly love
of sixteen years and I do
periodically associate
with loving, kind, honest,
trustworthy people. I am
deeply, humbly, grateful
and thankful for ever my
ever kind, loving, considerate, Creator, whom I
ever dearly humbly love.
Amen.

100th birthday celebrated
Delmer William Scott,
93, went home to be with
his Lord on Monday, August 29, 2016. He was born to Matthew W. Scott and Rhoda
Belle Schooley, on July 5,
1923. He lived his entire life
in Lake/Garfield Township. Delmer graduated
from Farwell High School,
when he then took over the
management of the family
farm. On February 10, 1945,
he married his wife of 71
years, Donna Mae Wiggins. Delmer farmed his
entire life employing many
of the local youth. Delmer was a member
of the Lake School Board
for many years. He also served as a volunteer fireman in Garfield
Township for twenty-eight
years. He enjoyed going to
tractor and steam engine
shows; as well as loving
the outdoors, both working
in it and traveling through
it. He enjoyed trips
throughout America—visiting nearly all fifty states. A friend introduced
him to fishing in Canada,
and that became an annual event for many years
portaging and canoeing to
different lakes. In later years, his
greatest enjoyment was
spending time with family—his wife, children,
grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren.
He is survived by his
wife, Donna; his children: daughter, Sharon
(Craig) McClain of
Midland and son, Stewart (Katharine “Kitty”)
Scott of Macomb. Six
grandchildren: Amy Kellogg, of Sanford, Pamela

and nephews.

Celebrating 125 years - Harrison style
Photos by Steve Landon
By Steve Landon
The summer of 2016
began slowly winding
down this past weekend as visitors from
around the state converged on Harrison to
celebrate the communities 125th Birthday during the annual Harrison
Street Fair August 25th –
27th. Festivities officially got underway Thursday at 3:00 p.m. with the
First annual Garden Tour
covering five private
gardens and the new
Veterans Freedom Park.
Proceeds from the tour
went to future funding of garden projects around
the city of Harrison.
On Friday sunny skies
greeted a record turnout
of vendors who lined
Second Street in the heart
of downtown. Booths
offering crafts, services,
kid games, tours of the
historic Surrey House
and more kept visitors
busy for hours. An automotive wonderland appeared at 11:00
a.m. Friday with the
annual visit from the Historic Old US 27 Motor
Tour. Fresh off spending Thursday night in
Clare the tour headed for
senting the current time
of 2016 was put together. Plans call to bury it in
front of the new City Hall
with a plaque marking
the location. The plaque
will instruct the time
capsule to be opened in
the year 2066. Some
of the items included
were: car and truck
brochures, a denomination of all money dated
2016, a restaurant menu,
a real estate listing, City
of Harrison books, a
phone book, a light bulb,
a Coca-cola bottle, #2
pencil, a pen, calculator, a current calendar as well
as many other items.
While the rain may
have put a damper on
this year’s street fair,
overall it was a total success. Thanks to countless
volunteers who made it
all possible. Plans are
already in the works for
2017.
An old orange truck crests James Hill as car buffs armed with cameras look to take the perfect shot.

unique modern and vintage vehicles. It was hard to resist checking out the
many gems glistening in
the sun. This year’s lineup of vehicles stretched
from the Budd Lake Bar
down Main Street (M- 61
East) past the courthouse.
Following several years of awesome
weather the rains came
on Saturday, the biggest day of the event. A
steady line of morning
showers, heavy at times
pounded the area until
around noon. Sadly several vendors pulled the
plug and closed up shop,
however those who stuck
around and braved the
raindrops were rewarded
with decent weather and
steady flow of visitors
throughout the rest of the
day. Sadly some events
had to be cancelled due
to rain. It won’t be long until
the snow flies so with
that in mind Chuck Ulch,
Jack Ulch, Larry Decker
and Eddie Korbinski
showed off their collection of antique and vintage snowmobiles to
several visitors who took
advantage of the EZ-Up’s
covering the sleds to get
out of weather and chat
about the good old days
of snowmobiling when
these machines ruled
the trails. The snowmobile show has become a
popular part of the Harrison Street Fair in recent
years.

125th Anniversary a time

Clare ALMOST upsets defending state champs

six years), 31-28.
The Pioneers had the
momentum early on, as it
used the energy from the
home crowd for a nice
scoring drive, capped by a
two-yard touchdown run
by Brandon Zinser to make
it 7-0.
The Yellowjackets
Clare gave visiting state
powerhouse Ithaca all it
could handle Friday night.
The Pioneers, came up
just short on topping the
defending division six state
champion (and five of last
answered right back with a
47-yard touchdown pass to
tie it at 7-7, though Gabe
Denton found pay-dirt
from three yards out to put
the Pioneers ahead 14-7
after the first.
After that, Ithaca dove
into its kicking game and
booted in a 24-yard field
goal to close the gap to
14-10, with Clare pulling ahead by two scores,
thanks to a 15-yard touchdown strike from Travis
Vida to Tyler Rodenbo.
The Pioneers got the
ball back late in the first
half, but instead of adding
to their lead, they gave up
some of theirs, as an errant
Vida pass was intercepted
and returned 60 yards for a
touchdown to make it 2017 at the half.
The Yellowjackets carried that momentum into
the second half and put up
two quick scores, staking
themselves to a 31-20 lead.
Clare got the ball back
with just over four minutes
left to go in the game and
cashed in on a quick touchdown thanks to a Vida-toDenton 89-yard touchdown
pass, making it 31-28 with
4:14 to go in the contest.
The Pioneers did get the
ball back on two separate
occasions in the waning
moments of the game, but
could not pick up a gamewinning score.
Vida finished 12-of-29
passing for 219 yards to
lead the Pioneer offense,
Zinser ran 12 times for
79 yards and Rodenbo
had five receptions for 68
yards.

of 25-20 and 25-20.
The night ended against
East Jordan, in which the
Pioneers fell in three sets,
23-25, 25-22 and 15-11.
“We were full of enthusiasm and hard work all
night and are looking forward to the next match,”
head coach Shannon
Zinser said.

Eagles start fast with 53-16 romp over Coleman
The off-season paid off
for the Farwell football
team, as it easily handled
visiting Colmean Friday
night, 53-16 in both teams
football season opener.
“Opening the season
with a win is always a
great way to start,” head
coach Ben Bryant said.
“We had some big plays
of offense and defense
that created big opportunities for us to be successful. Even with the win, we
have lots of work to do.
We need to be able to run
the ball more efficiently
and play more physical on
defense.”
It took just a matter of
seconds for the Eagles
to find the end-zone, as
Jacob Graves took the
opening kick-off 85 yards
in for a touchdown, with
Graves catching his breath
Luster had one grab, the
34-yard touchdown. Yonts
had 42 yards and two
scores on seven tries.
For the defense, it was
Yonts with seven tackles
and one fumble recovery,
Dailey had six tackles,
two forced fumbles, one
fumble recovery and one
interception, Luster had
the 38-yard interception
for a touchdown and Jake
Barrasso had five tackles,
four for a loss, one sack
and one interception.
Farwell (1-0) hosted
Ludington (1-0) on
Thursday in its final nonconference game of the
season. This will be the
first ever meeting between
the teams. The Orioles are
coming off a 3-6 season
last year and topped Hart
35-0 in its week one game.
“Ludingtong comes in
this week off a big win
over Hart,” Bryant said.
“They have some hype behind them this year. Their
quarterback seems to be
the engine that drives their
offense so it is imperative
that we keep him from
running the ball.”

to kick the ensuing extra
point for a 7-0 lead just 13
seconds in.
Farwell did give up a
safety to allow the Comets back to within 7-2,
however, in its first drive
of the second quarter,
Farwell got a four yard
touchdown run from quarterback Alex Dailey.
Coleman struck back
with a 25-yard touchdown
pass to trim the gap to
14-8 with just over two
minutes to go in the half,
but Farwell erupted for a
pair of quick scores before
the break to lead 27-8.
First, Dailey fired
a long pass to Hunter
Turner for a 78-yard
touchdown strike, then
Dailey found Gabe Luster
for a touchdown in a 34yard variety.
The Comets fumbled
the second half opening
kickoff to Anthony Yonts
at the 28-yard line, with
Yonts also scoring on the
ensuing drive just four
plays later to put the score
to 35-8.
The Eagles weren’t
done either as it got a
35-yard interception
return for touchdown
from Luster, and Dailey
and Yonts added one yard
touchdowns as well.
Dailey finished sevenof-14 passing for 194
yards and two touchdowns
and added 76 yards and
two touchdowns on the
ground. Turner had three
receptions for 110 yards
and one touchdown and

Lady Hornets expect big year
By Ben Murphy
For as much as the Harrison volleyball team came
last year, veteran head
coach Larry Flemming is
hoping we haven’t seen
anything.
“I feel this year is going
to be better than last,” he
said. “I have eight girls
that can go to the next step.
Three of them played volleyball through the winter.”
The Lady Hornets
finished the Jack Pine
Conference with a 5-9
record last ear, including
two wins over Clare, two
over Farwell and one over
Meridian.
Seniors Ashleigh
Woolston (middle hitter),
Brianna Lewis (setter,
libero), Nichole Willman (back row), Britney
Hale (libero) and Kassidy
Seebeck (setter, outside
hitter) all return from that
squad, as does junior Erika
Cullen (middle hitter).
Sophomores Paige Mogg
(setter, outside hitter) and
Rachael Parrett (outside
hitter) should also make an
impact this season.
New to the team is senior Elyssa LeVasser (setter) and sophomores Taylor
Craine (outside hitter),
Kylee Greenfield (outside

(back row).
“Paige and Rachael
have been playing together from the start in
fifth and sixth grade and
it shows, they really work
well together,” Flemming
said. “You add Erika and
Ashleigh to those two and
you have the leaders. They
all want to bring the pride
back to Harrison volleyball
and love to play the game.
Those are the four that are
going to bring this team
together better than ever.
We are going to have an
outstanding year.”
The Hornets have
already had a few matches
this season and return to
the court on Tuesday when
they travel to Evart.
“You have to come and
watch them to see what
a team I have this year,”
Flemming said. “(Bringing
the pride back) is one of
our team goals, the other is
to put a Jack Pine Conference championship flag on
the wall. I believe they can
do it as long as they stay
on track and keep working
hard.”

Hornets charge on to field to begin 2016 football campaign.
Hornets notch opening win 36-18
By Ben Murphy
Sports Writer
Thankfully for the Harrison football team, history
doesn’t always repeat itself. A year ago Lake City
spoiled the Hornet’s season
opener by handing them a
one point loss. This year
however Harrison learned
its lesson, picking up a 36-
18 non-conference victory.
It was a bit of a wild
first quarter, as both teams
scored twice, though Harrison also punched in a
pair of two-point conversions.
Jeremy Fillhard opened
up the scoring for the Hornets, as he broke free for
a big 47-yard touchdown
run, and Austin Lavigne
scored the two-point conversion to make it 8-0.
The Trojans answered
with a pair of scoring drives of their own
however, getting a 35yard touchdown pass and
33-yard touchdown run to
take a 12-7 lead.
Harrison would regain
the advantage before the
end of the quarter though,
Reflections
By Roger Campbell Ministries
God Often Works In The Dark
The Bible begins with
God at work in the dark:
“And the earth was without form and void; and
darkness was upon the
face of the deep” (Genesis
1:2).
Out of the darkness,
God called for light…and
there was light.
That is God’s pattern…
He brings light out of
darkness.
You may be experiencing a dark time in your
life. Take heart. On the
darkest day, God makes
a way.
Some light breaks
through in dark times
when we remember that
all earthly trials are temporary.
My work has placed me
with people in the most
trying times of their lives.
I have been there when
tears were flowing, when
all the castles had tumbled, when the feared and
unwanted had become reality. But I have watched
these same people rise up
in faith after their storms
and get on with positive
living, even seeing their
former trials as learning
experiences that contributed to later gains.
At the age of seventeen, a friend of mine was
involved in a serious automobile accident. He suffered injuries that required
137 stitches in his head
and in addition to the multiple cuts and bruises, he
lost four front teeth. But
there was another bruise
that was more difficult to
bear…a financial bruise.
The car he had been driving was not insured and
he found himself facing a
huge debt.
Concerned about the
overwhelming financial
obligation, he returned to
work within two weeks
after the accident. Soon
he added a second job and
asked for all the overtime
he could get. Through
hard work and disciplined
spending, he paid off the
entire debt in less than
three years.
Later, my friend
became an extremely successful building contractor and land developer.
Interestingly, he views the
automobile accident that
took place in his youth as
one of the key factors that
led to his success and is
thankful for that dark time
when God was at work in
his life, teaching him discipline that would equip
him for tasks ahead.
Sometimes God works
in the dark time by proving the promises He gave
in better days are true.
Never question in the
dark what God gave you
in the light.
A man with whom I
spoke had reached nearly
ninety years. His clear
witness for his Lord was
well known in the community where he lived, as
was his consistent life.
Our conversation
turned to the subject of
heaven. At first mention
of that promised place,
tears came to his eyes,
quickly spilling over
their wrinkled barriers
and washing down his
weather-beaten face.
“The days are getting
brighter all the time!” he
said.
He had spent his life
believing the promises in
the Bible about heaven
and now that health was
failing and strength was
departing, he found them
sufficient. God was lead-

ing him safely through the
valley of the shadow of
death with light He had
given to him in days of
strength.
Don’t let your present
difficulties defeat you.

as Lavigne romped in from
58-yard outs. Hugh Brand
bulled in for the two-point
conversion and 15-12 lead.
In the second quarter,
Brand and Justin Wilson
added touchdown runs,
with Brand scoring from
three yards out and Wilson
10. This gave the Hornets
a 28-12 lead at the half.
The Trojans scored an
early third quarter touchdown to pull within 28-16,
but the Hornets put the
game away wit another
rushing touchdown, this
time from 16 yards out by
Tyler Battle.
Fillhard was the leading
rusher with 101 yards on
six carries, Lavigne ran
seven times for 62 yards.
Zach Taylor ran six times
for 48 yards, Brand had
six tries for 33 yards and
Battle rushed four times
for 20 yards. Lavigne also
completed his only pass of
the game, a yard completion to Brand.
Will Dennis led the
defense with 11 tackles
and one sack, Fillhard had
seven tackles, with Brand
and Lavigne taking down
six each.
Harrison (1-0) hosted
Evart on Thursday in its
final non-conference game
of the year. The Hornets
beat the Wildcats 33-6 last
year, though Evart is coming off a 49-14 win over
White Cloud last week.
EVART — Two Florida
residents have been bound
over to the Osceola
County 49th Circuit Court
to face various charges
with the most serious
being one count each of
armed robbery.
A preliminary examination took place on Aug.
25 in Osceola County’s
77th district court against
David Raymond Dingee,
52, and Melissa Renee
Nudd, 30, both of Pompano Beach, Fla. They
are lodged in the Osceola
County jail after their arrest on an alleged robbery
of the First Merit Bank in
Evart.
A bank teller and
various law enforcement
officials testified at the
hearing. The teller said
Dingee, at gun point, made
off with roughy $2,200.
A prosecuting attorney’s
office spokesman told the
Marion Press the couple
were bound over for trial
at circuit court with a date
to be determined later.
There are several charges
against both, he said.
“They have not made
any plea whatsoever,” he
said. “The most serious
charge is armed robbery.”
They both face armed
and bank robbery charges,
and each defendant has
separate other charges
they’re facing, he said.
They are also facing larceny, assault with a dangerous weapon, larceny
in a building and felony
firearm charges.
Nudd, according to
reports, also faces a count
of fourth-degree fleeing
a police officer. Among
additional charges Dingee
faces is being an habitual
offender from prior felony
convictions in Florida.
There are also published
reports he was convicted
in 1999 of second-degree
murder.
They were both denied
bond at their arraignment
and remain lodged in the
county jail.
The bank teller said that David Dingee, 52, made off with
roughly $2,200.

Health care increases
put strain on budget
By John Raffel
Correspondent
When the Labor day
holiday ends, Clare County
Commissioners will be busy
continuing to work on the
budget.
Jack Kleinhardt, commission chair, said the next
budget meeting is Sept. 6
(subject to change). Kleinhardt indicated the budget
process continues in a desirable way.
“According to Tracy
(Byard) our administrator,
we have a balanced budget
at this time,” he said. “But
it’s got some cuts in it and
we may be restoring some of
them. Anything we put back
in, we make cuts someplace
else.”
Budget negotations
continue.
“This particular budget,
we’re going to need to get it
balanced one way or another,” Kleinhardt said. “We’re
going to have to work pretty
soon on next year’s budget.
Some of the things we need
to go has to be negotiated
with the union. We don’t
have enough time now to get
into negotiations with the
unions before the budget has
to be done. It has to be done
by the end of September.”
As expected, challenges
involve keeping up with
salaries and benefits.
“We’re looking at anything from an $180,000 to a
$200,000 a year increase in
health care and we’re looking at a $200,000 minimum
(increase) in retirement
costs,” Kleinhardt said.
“Those retirement costs
are going to be an extra
$200,000 a year just about
every year coming up unless
something changes and I
don’t know what that will
be. Every place in the country is in a dilemma on retiree
costs.”
Meanwhile, Kleinhardt
acknowledged that the county presently doesn’t have an
active planning commission.
“About half of the
townships have their own
planning commission,” he
said. “Half of the townships
are zoned. When we had a
county wide planning board,
some of the things would
come up against township
planning boards. The townships said they would like to
manage their own. It’s not
that we eliminated the planning commission. Some of
the board members resigned.
It’s not active. It could be
reactivated at anytime. No
one has come to me anyway
to see the planning board
activated. It’s been awhile.
“We struggled to find a
mission for them to look
into because some of the
townships said they would
handle it on their own. They
wanted some directive, but
we couldn’t tell them what
we wanted them to do.”
Nine JPFR members attend Agro Expo
Nine members of the
Jack Pine Farmers and
Ranchers (JPFR) group
traveled to St. John’s,
Michigan on Wednesday,
August 17th to attend the
first ever AgroExpo held
August 16 - 18. Even
though the final day was
cancelled, due to five
inches of rain in three
days, the event was a success for both agribusiness
and for growers. Those
in attendance were able to
experience all areas of production agriculture – from
planting to harvest – giving
them the opportunity to see
in-field demonstrations,
educational programs,
presentations, and industry
vendors. Those involved
in created the event
included farmers, agribusinesses, and statewide
industry organizations,
including Michigan Corn
Growers Association,
Michigan Farm Bureau,
and AgroLiquid.
The JPFR members
in attendance included
Justin Boggs, Luke Coats,
Makayla Ogg, Cassidy Ogg, Brandon Pauly,
Morgan Shea, Travis Shea,
Caitlin Shea, and Brianna
Shea. Clare County Farm
Bureau is proud to help
sponsor, mentor, and educate this group of young

Krapohl celebrates 66
years with MP dealership
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
“We want to thank
everyone who came out
today to help us celebrate
our 66th anniversary, Tom
Krapohl said last Thursday
afternoon.
The dealership, family owned and operated
through three generations,
celebrated their anniversary last Thursday, a special
66th Anniversary Race
Week Tent Event held August 26th from 9 a.m. until
3 p.m. that featured music,
food and classic cars.
Used Car Manager
Bob Mihalyfi said he was
surprised that as many
people showed up because
it rained here most of the
morning. “I was pleased
with the turnout,” he said.
The event featured
many raffle prizes including Mt. Pleasant Speedway
tickets, Saginaw Painter’s
Supply gift buckets, oil
changes from Quick Lane,
gas card and more. In fact
everyone who attended the
event got a goody bag and
t-shirt to take home.
Krapohl was opened
downtown in 1950 by
brothers Bob and Harold
Krapohl. They owned and
operated the business until
the middle 1970s when
Harold’s son Tom and
Bob’s son-in-law Brian
Smith took over. When Brian retired around 2000, his
son Mark Smith came on
board with Tom Krapohl.
The dealership has
grown over the years.
Around 1970, they built the
new dealership at 1451 East
Pickard Street. Since then
they added the Body Shop
in the late 90s; a Quick
Lane Oil Change in the
early 2000s and remodeled
the front showroom and
fascia in 2008.
Krapohl Ford and
Lincoln is located just one
block east of Meijer in
Mt. Pleasant. Call them at
989-772-2991 or toll free at

Record callls, arrests during
CMU Welcome Weekend
By Pat Maurer
Pictured Left to Right; Carl Seiter, Supt., Tamara Howell of TransCanada, Amy White of
Farwell Elementary School
Donation helps bolster safety
TransCanada’s generous donation has allowed
Farwell Area Schools to
bolster the level of student
safety that has been a priority for the district. “This
donation helps the district
in our efforts to maintain
a safe and secure learning
environment for our students and we are extremely
grateful.”
Over the summer, the
district installed the NightLock devices which will
make entering a classroom
extremely difficult. In the
event of an emergency, the
staff places a metal brace
into a bracket that is secure-
ly fastened to the door and
the floor of the classroom.
Push or pull, opening the
door will be a great challenge for anyone.
In addition to the
NightLock devices, the
district has installed buzzer
systems at the front door
of each building. During
the school day, individuals
must press a button, the
school staff will communicate with a two-way audio
system and view the individual on camera. Once
cleared to enter, the doors
are buzzed open. This will
allow all building doors to
be locked during the school
day.
Also, the Farwell Elementary School has implemented a system for student
pick up in the afternoon. A
scanning system that will
link names to the district
student database. The
system will verify the name
against the list of individuals approved to pick up a
particular student. Parents
or designated individuals
will be asked to scan a state
ID. The system recognizes
the Name Only off of the
ID. This process will allow
for a quick verification to
take place and will greatly
increase safety for our kids.
CMU Police, City Police, State Police and Isabella County officers were
kept busy last weekend
when Central Michigan
University held their annual “Welcome Weekend”
for students.
