Discovery of CPS error eliminates Bear as valedictorian
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Packed meeting room urges Board to allow Bear speech
It was standing room
only at Monday’s Clare
Board of Education meeting when pleas were made
on behalf of one of the top
students in the Class of
2016.
When Josiah Bear
received word February
26 that he was chosen to
a co-valedictorian for the
class of 2016, he and his
family were “proud and
overjoyed,” his father
and mother (Jeremy and
Kimberly Bear) wrote in a
letter to the Clare Board of
Education April 25th.
This was really great
news, his father said. They
all knew he might not
make it because his perfect
4.0 for all four years of
high school went down
when the grade for the
Mid Michigan Community
College English Class he
took in the first semester (and used as his high
school English requirement) came in December.
It was a B. [When he was
named a co-valedictorian,]
“We assumed he and the
two other valedictorians
(Molly Cole and Camden
Dice) shared the highest
GPA,” they wrote.
Not quite 60 days later,
on April 21, Clare Principal Ed Hubel told Josiah
he would no longer be one
of Clare’s valedictorians
for the class of 2016, “because his December grade
[from the first semester
MMCC English class] had
finally been inputted into
the power school records.”
His parents wrote,
“Clare High School had
the [B] grade available to
them on February 26 when
the announcement was
made.”
The letter continued,
“We understand mistakes
happen. We understand Josiah is
no longer valedictorian. We only
asked Mr. Hubel
and Mr. [Superintendent] Fillmore
for two things: a
letter to be put into
Josiah’s file in case
scholarships would
be questioned…
Our other request
for him was to still
give a speech at
graduation, not as
a valedictorian,
perhaps as president of the National Honor
Society.”
“We were declined the
speech,” the letter said.
A letter from Superintendent Fillmore apologizing to Josiah said, “Unfortunately our counseling
office failed to enter the
[B] grade in a timely
manner and your grade
point average was unintentionally, but incorrectly,
announced as ‘4.0’ or all
‘As’.”
The letter from the
Superintendent continued,
“Josiah, I know this has
been extremely disappointing and embarrassing
to you and your family.
Our school district takes
full responsibility for this
unfortunate mistake.”
The Bear’s complete
letter was read at the
BOE meeting Monday as
well as letters, one from
MMCC Professor of English and Humanities Lucia
M. Elden, who wrote, “I
highly encourage you to
reconsider the change in
the decision. It would have
been something else to
tell him in January that his
grades were lower than the
others (valedictorians), but
once the school presented
him as a valedictorian, it
has an obligation to keep
their word.”
Monday’s Board of Education meeting was packed with
people upset over the denial of a speech at graduation by
Josiah Bear, who was originally one of the co-valedictorians.
A letter from State Representative Joel Johnson
repeated the request that
Josiah be allowed to speak
at graduation. He wrote, “I
did contact the Clare High
School principal with a
suggestion I thought might
help the situation. I mentioned they might want
to honor Josiah for his
participation in Youth in
Government and more particularly his being elected
Speaker of the House as a
freshman…I believe this
could highlight the need
for our young people to get
involved in our government.”
Those sentiments were
echoed by a multitude of
people attending Monday’s
meeting.
Ryan Matthews read
a letter of support from
Josiah’s grandmother.
Jeff Gross asked the
board, “Was there discussion about this, and what
was the response to the
[Bear’s] request?
Board President Tom
Weaver responded, “Mr.

woman was convicted of
shooting Howard in the
parking lot of Chase Run
Apartments in Mt. Pleasant when he arrived there
around noon that day to
pick up his daughter.
The prosecutor
charged that Bigford
was waiting there for
him with the intention to
shoot him.
Bigford reportedly
believed that Howard had
molested his three-yearold daughter. She and
the then-3-year-old girl’s
mother, Latesha Bigford,
filed sexual abuse complaints against Howard,
but investigations by
Child Protective Services
showed no evidence of
abuse, according to court
records, and the case was
dropped.
Bigford and daughter
Latesha still believed
Howard was molesting the child and were
pursuing the allegation of
abuse with Fenton police.
The prosecutor, Risa
Hunt-Scully, summed it
up for the jury Tuesday
morning, outlining the
steps Bigford took before
and after Howard was
killed, the Morning Sun
reported, saying Bigford’s
daughter Latesha and her
granddaughter Siera had
moved out of the Chase
Run Apartments and that
Howard was then lured
there. The prosecutor indicated that Latesha knew
about her mother’s plan
to eliminate Howard.
Howard was shot six
times in the apartment
Farmers and other

Johnston Elevator in Clare
will not be closing.
Clare City Manager
Ken Hibl announced in an
email Wednesday afternoon that ownership of
Johnston Elevator in Clare
has been transferred to
John Merrilat and Gabe
and Johathan Seibt.
The 126-year-old business is once again open for
business. Documents were
signed on Wednesday, he
said.
Hibl said the new
owners are busy restocking shelves and accepting
deliveries right now but,
“they will be back to full
service as quickly as they
are able to do so,” Hibl
said.
He added, “This is truly
great news for Clare!! Particularly in respect
to the fact that the new
owners are vested in, and
products of our great community.”
In early April the
Review was unable to confirm rumors around Clare
were that the elevator,
owned by Cutler Dickerson of Adrian, would be
closing. There was also rumors
of the pending sale of the
historic business, the oldest in Clare, might be sold.
Hibl said then that there
was someone interested in
purchasing the business.
Johnston Elevator,
owned by Cutler Dickerson Company of Adrian
since 1987, has been a

complex parking lot.
Bigford admitted to
killing Howard, her Uncle
reportedly told police after
the shooting. He said she
told him that she threw the
gun she used in a ditch. He
had given her the gun two
years ago to shoot animals.
The murder weapon,
reportedly a .22 or .25
handgun, has not been
found.
In her summation,
Defense Attorney Sara
Spencer-Noggle cited
Bigford’s belief that her
granddaughter was being
molested and the frustration and anger she and
her daughter Latisha felt
when the abuse accusations
“went nowhere.”
After the summations,
the jury deliberated on the
case from 1:30 p.m. Tuesday until around 3:45 p.m.
Then they came back into
the courtroom with a guilty
verdict.
Judge Paul Chamberlain
has set Bigford’s sentencing date for June 8th at 3
p.m.
First-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence
of life without parole. Carrying a dangerous weapon
with unlawful intent is a
five-year felony, felonious
assault is a four-year felony
and the firearms charge
carries an additional two
year sentence.
Park ceremony April 25
By Rosemary Horvath
Correspondent
Hundreds of observers
are expected at the May
25th grand opening of the
Veterans Freedom Park,
200 West Main Street in
Harrison, five years in the
making.
The Clare County
County Building will be
closed from 12:45 to 2:15
p.m. to permit employees,
some of whom are veterans,
to attend the ceremony.
The park is located across
the street from the County
Building.
Renee Haley, the
county’s veterans affairs
officer, told commissioners
Wednesday the 47-foot long
granite Wall of Tears will be
installed this weekend and
unveiled at the ceremony.
The wall bares 301 names
of those military men and
women who were killed in
action from the counties of
Clare, Gladwin, Midland
and Isabella.
The ceremony begins
at 1 p.m. That section of
M-61 and the side streets
will be closed to traffic.
Clare County Transit, 989.539.1473, and
Isabella County IRIDE, 989.772.9441, are
offering free rides to attend.
Please call by May 25 for
reservations.
Military dignitaries will
attend. Haley talked about
items exhibited in the small
museum that represents
aspects of the military. Also,
a local artist has painted a
mural depicting all conflicts. Metal fabricator JD
Metalworks of Clare has
created an artistic sign for
the park that the company is
donating.

a hard time thinking it’s
about tradition. The kid
is only asking for five
minutes.”
Melissa DeRoche
said, “Josiah deserves to
give the speech. I would
like him to be given that
chance. Give the class of
2016 something to remember – that you did the right
thing.”
Classmate Ron Matthews said, “Josiah has
been more of a (mentor)
than a friend to me. He has
inspired me.”
Randy Emory said,
“There’s not very many
who come along like
Josiah. Look at all his accomplishments.”
Brandy Hold said,
“From the moment I met
him, he has been the hardest working person I know.
He has done so much to be
proud of.”

Brandon said, “These

impact the community
and not just the community but the graduates.

impacted us, he is a role
model. These students are

Pouillon pleads guilty to murder of mother
After more than a year,
an Owosso man charged
with the March 15, 2015
stabbing death of his
mother and the attempted
murder of his father at
their Harrison home in
Greenwood Township,
pled guilty, but mentally ill
to second degree murder
and assault with intent to
murder in court Monday
morning.
Just one year ago, Scott
Pouillon, 44, was determined “incompetent to
stand trial” by the court,
Clare County Prosecutor Michelle Ambrozaitis
said in a May, 2015 press
release.
In that release Ambrozaitis said Pouillon would
be kept at a facility under
the custody of the State Department of Mental Health
until he was declared
competent to stand trial
with reports to the court,
prosecutor and defense attorney every 90 days.
Pouillon, the son of both
victims, was accused of
stabbing his 64-year-old
mother, Cheryl Pouillon,
to death and seriously
injuring his father Donald
Pouillon.
Clare County Deputies
were called to the rural
home and discovered the
body of his mother and his
severely injured father. Officers were notified of the
assault when Donald Pouillon called Central Dispatch
as he was being assaulted,
the original release said.
Pouillon was identified
Jones leads cops on 30-mile
chase after domestic dispute
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Lorimer Douglas Jones,
48, is behind bars for
kidnapping, weapons and
assault charges after he
rolled his 2006 Jeep while
trying to escape a police
pursuit last Thursday
evening.
Clare County Sheriff
John Wilson said in a
release this week that
Deputies were responding to a reported domestic
assault in the 6000 block
of Partridge Court in Freeman Township around
6:30, May 12, when upon
their arrival, Jones, of
Lake, “left the scene in
the Jeep SUV.
Deputies were unable
to stop Jones, who led
them on a 30 mile chase
until he lost control while
trying to avoid stop sticks,
narrowly missed a patrol
car and another vehicle
and crashed near Clare
Avenue and M-61 just
south of Harrison. Jones,
who was taken to Mid-
Michigan Medical Center
in Clare, was not injured
in the crash.
He was arrested and
lodged in the Clare
County Jail.
Jones was arraigned in
80th District Court earlier
this week on two weapons
counts, kidnapping, fleeing and eluding police, aggravated assault less than
murder, assault and battery
and telephone tampering.
He remains lodged in
the Clare County Jail on
an $800,000 cash bond,
Donald Reid, 63, of
Harrison, is facing assault,
marijuana and firearms
charges after he was
reportedly shooting a
firearms inside a home on
Fir-Mac in Frost Township
last Friday, May 13.
Deputies and Michigan
State Police Troopers from
Mt. Pleasant were called to
the scene around 10 p.m.
after receiving a call that
an intoxicated man was
shooting a firearm in the
home with other occupants
there.
A release from Clare
County Sheriff John Wilson said Reid and the other
occupants of the home
“eventually came out,”
and the suspect Reid was
arrested and taken to the
Clare County Jail.
Clare County Prosecutor Michelle Ambrozaitis
issued charges including
assault with a dangerous weapon, possession
of marijuana, weapons/
firearms possession under
in influence and domestic violence. Reid was
arraigned in 80th District
Court on Monday, May 16
by Magistrate Karen Willing, who set his bond at
$7,500/ten percent.

Police and Mobile Medical Response Ambulance
Service.
A 36-year-old Warren
man, Daniel Fraser, 36,
was arrested for driving
while intoxicated, driving
with a suspended license
and fleeing officers last
Friday evening, after he
led Clare County Deputies
on a ten-mile chase before
crashing his vehicle near
Cadillac and Surrey Drive
west of Farwell in Surrey
Township.
In a release, Sherriff
John Wilson said depu-
ties were dispatched to
northbound US 127 around
10:45 p.m. May 13, after
a “silver colored van” was
reported to be “driving all
over the road.”
When deputies attempted to stop Fraser, he
fled, leading police on a
ten-mile chase before he
lost control of his vehicle
and crashed northwest of
Farwell.
Fraser was taken to
MidMichigan Medical
Center – Clare and arrested
after he was released.
Clare Prosecutor Mi-
chelle Ambrozaitis charged
Fraser with fleeing and
eluding police, operating
while intoxicated – third

suspended license. He was
arraigned Monday, May 16
in 80th District Court by
Magistrate Karen Willing
on the charges.

Roscommon man injured in Clare rollover
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
A rollover accident at
the Clare Welcome Center
(Mackie Rest Area) just off
northbound US-127 Tuesday evening sent a 77-yearold Roscommon man to the
hospital.
According to a release
from Sgt. Norma Naylor at
the Mt. Pleasant Michigan
State Police Post, the man
was northbound in a maroon 2016 Chevrolet pickup
and was exiting the expressway into the rest area.
His vehicle struck a
fence and a gate post, causing him to rollover.
Speed is believed to be
a factor in the accident,
Troopers said. “Alcohol
does not appear to be a factor,” the release said.
The driver was taken
charges and her bond was
set at $100,000/ten percent.

officials such as clerk and

existing counter and walkin space, although this

many county buildings
have installed. The public

out the front area of her

suggested setting up a

Clare County commissioners on Wednesday
authorized spending
$355,000 for renovating
County Building offices and departments to
provide more storage,
better security and office
efficiency.
The cost will be covered by the $1.5 million
bond loan commissioners
approved in 2015 to be
repaid over 15 years.
Lori Ware, director
of Community Services,
unveiled a series of floor
plans she and Administrator Tracey Byard created
with input from the commission’s building committee and an architectengineer.
Two years ago, Ware’s
department was assigned
the task of implementing
a list of capital improvements covered by the bond
such as roofing, HVAC
system, elevator, windows, security, lighting
and parking lot. Some of
these projects are nearing
completion and others are
about to begin.
About the new floor
plans, Ware said “this is
a very well thought out
plan” that addresses all the
targets.
All the commissioners
voted in favor of the plan

crunches to deal with.
Gladwin County operates without a full-time
administrator although
Walters said he spends on
average 30 hours a week
at the county building
dealing with issues. The
retired county sheriff’s annual pay as commissioner
is $8000. Clare County’s
administrator Tracy Byard
often shares information
with Gladwin County and
has met with commissioners over the years to
discuss shared subjects.
Walters said Wednesday
it’s good for everyone to
know what each other is
doing. There are times
when court personnel can
be confusing, because neither county knows who is
in charge of whom? Both
boards plan to collaborate
addressing court salaries.
Audits, medical insurance, pension liability
and labor negotiations are
among the topics on the
table.
Walters noted how far
his county has slashed
spending and rebuilt a
fund balance. Steps were
taken to refurbish the

added that 90 percent of
the tax bills were paid
which is slightly higher
than those paid in 2014. As
of Wednesday, there were
107 foreclosures headed

August. White Birch Lake
subdivision in Lincoln

Downtown Clare added to National Historic Register
By Pat Maurer
Review Correspondent
Clare’s downtown district got some great news
last January when the
State’s Historic Preservation Board unanimously
approved the City’s application for a nomination
to the National Register of
Historic Places.
Even better news arrived at the Clare City
offices earlier this week.
Although it isn’t official yet, Tuesday City
Manager Ken Hibl heard
from Ken Lingaur, Clare
resident and the author of
Clare’s downtown national
historic district application
that the National Parks
Service has listed the community on their website as
a national historic site as
of April 19.
“Once we receive formal notice of this designation from the Michigan
State Historic Preservation
Office, we will discuss
planning a formal event to
commemorate the accomplishment,” Hibl said in an
email about the honor this
week. The City Commission
had approved submission
of the application nearly
two years ago on March
14, 2014 but the process to
designate downtown Clare
as a Historic District listed
in the National Register
of Historic Places actually
began about nine years
ago in 2007.
In an earlier interview,
Clare City Manager Ken
Hibl said, “We consider
the nomination of our
downtown as a National
Historic District to be
significant and having
long-term, positive effects
for the entire Clare Community. The nomination
signifies the importance
and the value the City,
the Clare Downtown
Development Authority,
the Clare Area Chamber
of Commerce, and Clare’s
downtown business
community places on the
history of Clare and the
importance of preserving
that history.” “This is quite an
achievement for Clare
Downtown Historic
District,” said Sen. Judy
Emmons, R-Sheridan
when she heard about the
nomination earlier this
year. “This area makes up
the historic commercial
core of the city and is
certainly deserving of
a listing in the National
Register of Historic
Places.”
The national designa-
ervation from Eastern
Michigan University at the
time.
Information in a January release from MSHDA
[Michigan State Housing
Development Authority]
said, “The Clare Downtown Historic District is
located entirely within the
original plat of the City,
situated along four blocks
of North McEwan Street.
The district is home to 51
buildings, two structures,
one site and two objects,
dating as early as 1873.”
It continues, “The
key feature of the downtown district is its many
Neoclassical buildings.
The number, size, and fine
detailing of these buildings visually dominate the
McEwan streetscape and
is responsible for giving
the downtown much of its
character.”
“If you have ever visited Downtown Clare you
know it has a charm all its
own,” said State Rep. Joel
Johnson, R-Clare when he
first received news of the
nomination. “I am proud
to say that the city I call
home has been nominated
for this prestigious distinction.”
The earliest buildings constructed in this
district are three former

With the help of a

a portion of the costs,
several businesses
downtown are already in
the process of restoring
their building fronts to
a historic appearance.
Eight of the storefronts

their 1920s and 1930s

residences, all framed with

local materials available
at that time. Of the three,
the 1882 Goodman House
at 120 E. Fifth is the most
intact.
From an architectural
standpoint, the district’s
two most important 19th
century buildings are the
adjoining Doherty Opera
House (1891) and Clare
County Savings Bank
(1887). These buildings
were designed in the Late
Victorian style with complimentary broad upper
facades.
The Clare Congregational Church is also of
significance, particularly
because of architect W. T.
Cooper. The main portion
of the building remains
substantially intact since
its completion in 1909.
The church itself has been
listed on the National
Register of Historic Places
since 1995.
“The National Register is more than a list of
resources that have been
researched and identified
as locally and nationally
significant,” State Historic
Preservation Officer Brian
Conway said earlier. “The

Transgender issue
should be a local issue
Just Bits, and rants, and
things around town
I hate it when the federal government sticks their
nose in business where it
doesn’t belong. I’ve seen it
happen over and over with
the Obama administration,
as they attempt to frame
this country according to
their definition of what is
right and morally correct.
Unfortunately, what
plays in Washington D.C.
or southern California
doesn’t typically play in
grassroots or rural America. Therefore directing
public schools in Alabama
or rural Michigan to allow
transgender students to use
bathrooms matching their
gender identity is out of
line.
Out of line, I say,
because this is an issue
individual states should
be deciding, not the long
hammer of the Obama
administration. If Jerry
Brown’s California wants
to implement Obama’s
transgender guidelines
then more power to that
state. But if Texas or North
Carolina does not, then
they shouldn’t risk the loss
of federal funds because of
this issue.
And that is what might
happen. Although Obama’s
directive does not carry the
force of law the message
was clear: either fall in line
with the directive or face
It has been a busy week
in Clare County and it’s
not over yet.
All three county schools
will hold their graduation
ceremonies this Sunday
and of course that means
Open House season is here
again, with events filling
ours and everyone else’s
calendar.
Clare’s graduation has
stirred some controversy
this year, as one of the announced co-valedictorians,
Josiah Bear, would no
longer have that honor
due to a B grade from a
College English class that
dropped his perfect high
school 4.0 rating down a
bit.
Because of a clerical
error at the high school, he
was only recently notified
that he was no longer one
of the top students, and
although he and his family
understand the “demotion” and the loss of his
co-valedictorian status, he
still wanted to be able to
speak to his classmates at
graduation… as president
of the National Honor
Society, rather than covaledictorian.
No dice, said school administrators. “It would go
against the schools ‘tradition’,” although Josiah did
receive a written apology
for the mix-up.
What a shame. I understand that the “tradition”
has allowed speakers,
other than vals and sals
in years past, so why not
now?
It seems like a small
thing that the school could
do and might go a long
way towards appeasing
the community members
who came to the meeting
Monday – in force – to
the loss of federal funding.
The directive was issued
last Friday, when a joint
letter from the Departments of Education and
Justice was sent to all public schools in the United
States.
Now loss of federal
funding is no laughing
matter. Granted most public school system budgets
are made up of mostly
local and state funds. On
average a local school
district receives about 45%
of its funds from local
taxes; 45% from the State;
and 10% (in some districts
this is much higher) from
the federal government. In
an age when local school
districts are always scrambling for every penny they
can get, a loss of 10%
of their budget would be
extremely painful.
Sen Lamar Alexander,
chairman of the Senate
Health, Education, Labor
and Pensions Committee
(could we have a longer
name for a governmental committee?) made a
statement that pretty much
sums up my opinion:
“This is the kind of
issue that parents, school
boards, communities, students and teachers should
be allowed to work out in a
practical way with a maximum amount of respect for
the individual rights of all
students,” he said.
I couldn’t agree more.
This issue as well as many
others need to be resolved
at the local and state levels,
and the outcome might be
totally different from one
state to another. So be it.
At least local communities, parents and others,
who feel at this point, so
disenfranchised from our
political system can have
their say versus the Obama
administration simply
shoving their guidelines
down our throats.
I want these types of
debates to take place in my
state legislature, or even
at the local school board
meeting. The last thing I
want to hear is Big Brother
telling me who and how
the individual bathrooms
in my school will be used.
I can accept a decision
rendered by the State (well
maybe) and I can certainly
comply with what a local
unit of government might
establish, but from an outof-touch federal bureaucracy- NO WAY!

the 2013 National Survey
on Drug Use and Health,
an estimated 24.6 million
Americans are current illicit drug users. Nearly one
in four young people aged
12 to 20 report drinking
alcohol in the past month,
and one in four Americans
aged 12 or older smokes
cigarettes.
With commitment and
support, these and other
behavioral health issues
can be prevented. The
focus of National Prevention Week this May is to
increase public awareness
of, and action around,
substance abuse and
mental health issues. This
year’s National Prevention
Week theme, “Strong as
One, Stronger Together,”
recognizes the power each
person has to influence
the health and well-being
of others—whether by
supporting someone who’s
going through a difficult
time, participating in activities that strengthen the
community, or instilling
healthy habits in children
from an early age. Taking
part in prevention-related
activities and conversations helps raise awareness
of behavioral health issues
and changes lives.
That’s a message we
need to spread far and
wide. An estimated 22 million people in America are
classified with substance
dependence or abuse,
and more than twice as
many adults have a mental
illness. The impact of substance abuse and mental
illness is apparent in our
local community. We have
the power to change these
numbers, and more importantly, change lives.
Community members of
all walks of life can learn
what they can do to help
prevent these problems
before they start. Whether
by being a shoulder for
someone to lean on, leading someone to help for
a behavioral health issue
before it worsens, or setting an example by staying
substance-free, we all have
a role to play in keeping
the people around us—and
ourselves—healthy and
safe.
We, and others across
the United States, need
to recognize the seriousness of behavioral health
issues in our communities,
the power of prevention,
and the tireless efforts of
those working to make
a difference. For the
above reasons, I am asking the citizens of Clare
County to join me in
observing National Prevention Week .
You have the power to
help others lead healthy
lives— recognize that one
person can make a positive
difference in our community, but when we all unite
together we can achieve
even more.

The
request that accomplished
young man be allowed to
make a five minute speech
to his class. There were
even letters supporting
Josiah from the head of
the English Department
at MMCC and one from
State Representative Joel
Johnson.
From what I heard
about him at Monday
night’s meeting, he has
more than earned that
small consideration and
that little concession
would go a long way with
the boards’ constituents
and the popularity of the
school’s administrators.
That is my first rant for
this week. I have them
all the time, but seldom
publish them here.
Now here is another,
but against Mother Nature
this time.
Once again after a
frigid weekend, we have
more spring-like weather,
though my resident
weather-watcher Jack tells
me there is still a threat of
frost before the weekend.
After that, he tells me, it
should be beautiful.
Wish we could have
gotten a bit of that beautiful, warm stuff last weekend, when we went up to
stay in our new camper for
the first time. It was our
little reward to ourselves
for all the previous two
weeks’ hard work, first
cleaning from top to bottom our little trailer, which
is already sold by the
way; but then, because an
employee of the camper
center we were dealing
with “fudged” his prep
work, cleaning from top
to bottom the used Fifth
Wheel we just bought.
We got it all done and
took a few more things
up Saturday, planning
to spend the night and
Sunday morning enjoying
ourselves and of course,
getting the family campsite ready for the summer.
Well the wind blew and
the thermometer plummeted, so the outside work
got put on hold. Inside, the
“prep” work that hadn’t
gotten done came back
to haunt us. A leak in our
newly acquired bathroom
first flooded the floor, then
filled the tank…repeatedly.
We did stay the night,
although it was a long one
with Jack getting up every
few hours to “dump” the
constantly filling tank.
When he went out on
the last ‘dump’ trip about
4 a.m., his car was covered in snow.
Enough is enough and
by 6:30 a.m. we were
on the road headed back
home where it was still
pretty cold, but at least no
snow. Ah Michigan.
It can snow just about
any time here in this
beautiful state you know.
I remember as a youngster
flurries on the 4th of July
in Roscommon. And once
on Memorial weekend
we built a little snowman
right on the picnic table
outside our camper up
there…
Hopefully all will be
fixed and the weather
much better before we
head north again.
Letters
Egregious Overreach by Federal
Government puts Students at Risk
Dear Editor:
The new designer
minority these days that
is dominating the news
feeds is “transgendered”
people. When I hear the
word “transgendered”, I
figure the person has had
the surgery and has the
parts to match the way
they are feeling. I do not
think people who have this
particular affliction (yes,
its an affliction, so much so
that people have painful,
invasive and very expensive surgery to correct it)
are a menace to society.
The problem lies in
the way now that some
businesses have decided
to accommodate transgendered people. Some
businesses have said that
an individual simply needs
to “self identify” as on
gender or the other, and
they are welcome to use
any bathroom (or changing room, or locker/shower
room in some instances)
that they choose. I don’t
think a business needs to
be checking a person’s
genitalia. However, my
biggest question, is what
is going to stop a nontransgendered person from
simply putting on makeup
and declaring they have
self identified as the opposite gender simply to
gain access to the opposite
gender’s fitting room or
bathroom? There is nothing in place to stop this.

This newspaper is not responsible for mistakes in
advertising beyond the cost of the space involved.
And if the person simply
walks into the opposite
gender’s fitting room or
bathroom with a nefarious
intent, it is already too late
for the people who are in
there. My husband and I
have two young daughters.
Our number one priority is
their safety. We are lead to
believe this is the number
one priority at our schools,
too. However, it appears
the Federal Government
does not agree. Their priority seems to be protecting a fad minority.
To have this further
forced upon society, the
government is now getting
involved. Several weeks
ago, the Michigan State
Board of Education began
looking at these very
same “self identifying”
guidelines for our schools;
meaning, our primary,
middle and high schools.
The State Board held an
open comment period
where Michigan Citizens
could make their feelings
known about the prospect of these guidelines
being implemented in our
primary, middle and high
schools. In speaking with
our State Representative,
it seems that the general
consensus across the state
was that these self identifying guidelines were bad for
the schools.
On Friday, May 13,
the Federal Department
of Education and the
Federal Department of
Justice sent letters to every
independent school district
in the US and suggested
these very guidelines be
implemented, under the
threat of losing federal
funding for their district
if the guidelines were not
implemented. The Federal
government completely
circumvented any authority the State has and went
right to the local level all
across the country in one
fell swoop. The big mistake is, they do not have
the authority to do it. The
Legislative Branch decides
funding and is in control of
the purse (our tax dollars.).
The Legislative Branch is
comprised of people whom
we the people elect. At the
Federal level, the Department of Education and the
Department of Justice are
comprised of people the
President appoints, not
representatives we elect.
They have absolutely
no authority to withhold
funding. This power is
reserved exclusively for
the Congress.
My first thought was,
“What does the Department of Justice have to
do with education?” The
answer, is absolutely nothing. The Federal Department of Education and the
Department of Justice have
essentially told each and
every local school district
in the country, that either
they embrace this self
identity genderism policy
and allow anyone to enter
any restroom or locker
room (including showers)
they feel like, or they are
going to withhold federal
funding.
The argument the Feds
are trying to use is twofold.
Firstly, they argue that it is
discrimination not to allow

Letters to the Editor
confused or transgendered students to use the
restroom of their choice.
If you look at the Civil
Rights Act (specifically
Title XII) gender confusion
and transgendered students
are not covered under this
law. Secondly, they point
to the “equal protection
clause” in the fourteenth
amendment to the US Constitution. As a refresher,
it reads: “…nor shall any
State deprive any person
of life, liberty, or property, without due process
of law; nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of
the laws.” There is no law
under which a transgendered or gender confused
person would be denied
life, liberty, or property,
nor is there any claim to
equal protection, because
there is none! If this were
the case, then, the argument could be made just as
strongly that a person who
expects to only see their
gender in the gender designated bathroom is being
denied their liberty.
The citizens of Clare
County need to stand
shoulder to shoulder with
their elected school board
officials and stand up to the
bully Federal Government
and tell them with a resounding “no, we will not
be illegally blackmailed
into putting our children
at risk in this manner. Ilegally blackmailed, with our
tax dollars that we pay into
the federal government,
which the Legislative
Branch is in charge of, not
the Executive Branch. The
Executive branch has absolutely no authority to do
what they are doing. Stand
with your school boards,
contact our US Representative John Moolenar and tell
him he needs to represent
the people of Michigan and
tell the Executive Branch
no. Contact Governor
Snyder and tell him that
he needs to stand up to the
illegal overreach the Federal Government has just
imposed on our children.

Clare rolls to sweep over H-L, Beaverton
By Ben Murphy
Sports Writer
The Clare baseball team
kept pace in the Jack Pine
Conference race on Tuesday, as it easily handled
host Houghton Lake 12-0
and 12-2.
“We had two really good
pitching performances and
once we got our timing
down on their pitchers we
played pretty well,” Clare
head coach Skeet Colosky
said.
In the first game, Travis
Vida got the win as he
tossed the first four innings
and only gave up one hit
while striking out six and
surrendered no walks. Jeff
Allen pitched an inning of
scoreless relief, striking out
two batters.
On offense, Gabe Denton blasted a home run and
added two singles and three
RBI. Camden Dice had a
triple and four RBI, Cole
Keene and Chris Pomroy
had two hits each, with
Max Swan and Vida adding
one each.
Tucker Roe was the winner in the night-cap, as he
pitched all five innings of
the mercy-shortened game
and gave up two runs, zero
earned on three hits, four
strikeouts and two walks.
Denton had two doubles,
one single and four RBI
to lead the offense, Vida
had two doubles and two
RBI, Max Swan had a
double, single and one RBI
and with one hit each was
Dice, Allen, Keene, Tanner
Punches, Pomroy and Roe.
Pomroy also had two RBI.
On Thursday, playing
at Beaverton the Pioneers
notched two close JPC
wins, 4-3 and 4-1.
“They are a well
coached team and are always really solid,” Colosky
said. “They were big wins,
when you can get some
wins against the top tier
teams is really nice.”
In game one, Clare led
1-0 after the first and 3-0
after the top of the third,
with Beaverton making it
3-1 after its first run in the
bottom of the third. Clare
added another run in the
top of the fourth, with the
Beavers answering with
one in the bottom half
of the fourth, and one in
the bottom of the seventh
before Clare silenced a late
rally.
Dice got the win on the
mound as he pitched all
seven innings and gave up
three runs, zero earned on
four hits, nine strikeouts
and two walks.
At the plate, Roe had
a double and a single,
Clare Varsity Baseball
Denton had a double and
an RBI, Dice had a double
and with one hit each was
Swan, Keene, Ben Bates
and Vida. Bates and Keene
drove in one run apiece as
well.
In game two, both sides
plated a run in the first
inning, with Clare adding a
single run in the bottom of
the third and two more in
the bottom of the fifth.
Swan got the win as he
pitched six innings and
gave up one earned run on
six hits, four strikeouts and
two walks.
Dice had a triple, a
single and scored two runs,
Denton had a double and
two RBI, with Roe adding

the only other hit in the
game.
Clare (20-2 overall, 11-1
JPC) hosted Harrison on
Thursday and hosts Mt.
Pleasant Sacred Heart on
Tuesday and hosts Hemlock on Thursday. The
Pioneers are tied with
Meridian for the lead for
the JPC title.
“We’re playing pretty
decent ball,” Colosky said.
“It has been fun having the
kids playing some good
baseball and enjoying the
game and being pretty successful along the way.”

Eagles split with Lady
Bobcats twice
Rosco, 8-6, 2-1
By Ben Murphy
Sports Writer
By Ben Murphy
Sports Writer
The Farwell baseball
team played at Roscommon
in some Jack Pine Conference action on Tuesday,
with the Eagles earning an
8-6 win in game one but
suffered a 2-1 loss in game
two to earn a split with the
Bucks.
Getting the win in game
one was Anthony Yonts, as
he pitched four innings and
gave up four runs, three
earned on three hits, six
Austin Maxey pitched the
final three innings for the
save, giving up two unearned runs on one hit, four
strikeouts and zero walks.
On offense, Austin
Maxey had two doubles
and one RBI, Colin Maxey
had two hits and two RBI
and Jake Riffe had a double
and one RBI.
“It was a great win,”
Farwell head coach Spenser Gregory said. “We’re
finally starting to heat up
a bit and come together.
They played a full game of
baseball and when we can
do that we are a tough team
to beat.”
Farwell couldn’t quite
get its offense going in the
2-1 night-cap loss, though
Riffe did what he could
pitching as well, as he
pitched seven innings and
gave up two runs on two
hits, eight strikeouts and no
walks.
The Bucks scored both
of their runs in the top of
the fifth inning, while Farwell pieced its run together
in the bottom of the sixth
on an Austin Maxey single.
Riffe had a double for
the Eagles only other hit in
the game.
“Their pitcher might
have only been a freshman
but he pitched a lot older
than he really is, he was
pretty good,” Gregory said.
On Thursday the Eagles
hosted Gladwin in more
JPC play, dropping both
sides of the doubleheader,
1-0 and 7-1.
In game one, Austin
Maxey was the hard-luck
loser, as he pitched seven
innings and gave up one
unearned run on six hits,
seven strikeouts and one
walk.
The Flying G’s scored
the lone run in the ball
game on an error in the
top of the fifth inning, and
made that run stand as
Farwell managed just two
hits in the game, one each
off the bat of Jacob Graves
and Jay Thrush.
In game two, CJ Fiedler
took the loss, as he pitched
the first three innings and
gave up six runs, three
earned on nine hits, one
strikeout and two walks.
Colin Maxey pitched in
relief, giving up one hit and
striking out one.
Getting one hit apiece
for the Eagles was Yonts,
Riffe, Austin Maxey, Colin
Maxey and Graves. Nate
Ringwalt drove in the lone
run for the Eagles, on a
bunt.
“I don’t think it was
that their pitching was that
tough, it was just a day
we couldn’t put the bat on
the ball,” Gregory said.
“We weren’t locked in and
when we aren’t locked in,
it’s hard to win a baseball
game.”
Farwell (6-18 overall)
hosted Meridian on Thursday, is at the Bad Axe Invitational on Saturday and is
at Merrill on Wednesday.

The road didn’t do Clare
any harm on Tuesday, as
it easily won its Jack Pine
Conference softball games
at Houghton Lake, 18-1
and 15-0.
“We scored a lot of runs,
so that was nice, we definitely hit the ball,” Clare
head coach Jeff Albert said.
“We are still just looking to
improve every time we step
on the field and we’re getting ready for districts.”
In game one, Bailey
Carbeno pitched well to get
the win, as she gave up just
one run, one hit and struck
out 17 batters.
Every Lady Pioneer
starter had a hit, led by
Carbeno with two hits.
Carbeno, Tori Hitchcock
and Cami Miller all scored
three runs each.
In game two, Hailey
Hochstetler got the win, as
she only needed to pitch
three innings in the mercy
shortned game. She struck
out three batters. Every
player had a hit in the game
as well for Clare, led by
Miller with a home run and
Jillian Pappas had two hits
and two RBI.
Clare hosted Harrison
on Thursday and hosts Mt.
Pleasant Sacred Heart on
Tuesday and hosts Hemlock on Thursday.

Game two went nearly
as well as after a scoreless
first inning, Farwell plated
two runs in the bottom of

Hornets win 2 of 3 at Evart
By Ben Murphy
Sport Writer
The Harrison baseball
team struggled in its Jack
Pine Conference baseball
games with Beaverton on
Tuesday, as the visiting
Beavers swept the Hornets 11-0 and 10-0.
The Hornets were nearly no-hit in the opener,
but with two outs in the
bottom of the seventh,
Bobby Lang smacked a
single to spoil the no-no.
“We hit the ball all
over the place, we just
hit it at people the whole
day,” Harrison head
coach Tom Whitfield
said. “Our play has been
inconsistent, when we’re
on, we’re really on but
when we’re off we’re really off.”
Jeremy Yager took
the loss for the Hornets,
pitching the first five
innings and giving up six
runs, five earned on six
hits, six strikeouts and
four walks.
Kenny Haskell suffered the setback in game
two, as he struck out one
Kickers Win First
By Ben Murphy
Sport Writer
The Clare girls soccer
team tasted its first win of
the season on Friday night,
as it managed to beat visiting
Burt Lake Northern Michigan
Christian 1-0 in a match up
of Northern Michigan Soccer
League teams.
The Lady Pioneers had
the upper-hand offensively
seemingly all game, but could
manage just one goal from
Sam Gray, on an assist by
Ruth Mooketsi.
“It was a 1-0 game but it
could have easily been 5-0,”
Clare head coach Jim Bond
said. “Their goalie played a
great game and kept them in
it.”
On Wednesday, May 11 the
Pioneers traveled to McBain
Northern Michigan Christian
and lost to the NMSL leaders,
8-0.
“They are playing great,”
Bond said of McBain NMC.
“They were bigger, faster
and stronger than us and their
passing was phenomenal.”
The Pioneers were at
Ithaca on Thursday, play in
Houghton Lake in the NMSL
tournament on Saturday and
play in Alma Thursday.
batter.
At the plate, Zach Anderson led the way with
two hits, while Jake Jackson and Josh Gwisdella
adding one hit apiece.
On Saturday, the Hornets played in Evart on
rather cold day with some
rain, and even a little
snow mixed in. Harrison
played well though as it
beat Big Rapids Crossroads 16-1, lost to Evart
6-5 and topped Brethren
7-1.
“Our performance was
great,” Whitfield said.
“I was really proud of
the eight varsity kids
and three junior varsity
kids that showed up and
played in the adverse
conditions.”
Against Crossroads,
Jared Bennett got the
win, giving up no hits and
striking out two batters.
Corey Lang pitched two
innings of relief, giving
up one run on two hits
and one strikeout.
On offense, Gwisdella
had three hits and four
RBI, Anderson had three
hits and three RBI, while
JV call-ups Ryan Clark
and Ryan Carlstrom had
three hits apiece as well,
with Carlstrom driving in
three runs. Tyler Battle
added two hits and with
one single each was An-
Saupe had a hit and an RBI
and Luster had a hit and
scored a run.
Saupe shut the door on
the Flying G’s in game two
as she pitched a complete
game shut out and gave up
just three hits while striking
out 10 and walking one.
On offense, Cogswell hit
a solo home run and added
a single, Saupe and Gassel
had one double and one RBI
apiece with Hensley, Hanna,
Albaugh and Luster adding
one hit each.
Farwell hosted Meridian
on Thursday, is at the Bad
Axe Invitational on Saturday
and is at Merrill on Wednesday.
derson and Corey Lang.
Against the host
Wildcats, Harrison nearly
pulled off a win, but a bit
of late wildness caused
a setback when a bases
loaded walk gave Evart
the win.
Anderson suffered the
loss, pitching six innings
and giving up six runs,
five earned on eight hits,
three strikeouts and six
walks.
On offense, Anderson
had two hits and one RBI,
with Jackson, Gwisdella, Cory Lang, Bobby
Lang, Riley Bennett and
Jackson getting one hit
apiece. Jackson also had
an RBI.
Against Brethren, Jared
Bennett pitched a complete game for the win,
giving up one unearned
run on two hits, five
strikeouts and four walks.
Anderson led the offensive charge with two
hits and two RBI, while
Jackson and Riley Bennett had two hits and one
RBI each. Bobby Lang
added a single and two
RBI while Corey Lang
and Jared Bennett had
one hit each.
Harrison was at Clare
on Thursday and hosts
Houghton Lake on
Wednesday as it wraps up
its JPC schedule.
How do I get
my kid started
in golf?
Parents often ask me how
they can get their kids started
in golf. Should they buy equipment, start with lessons, or take
them to the range? What is the
right age to start them?
Start by giving your kids a
taste of the fun they can have
playing golf. Kids gravitate
to fun. Make them want to do
it again. Check with your local
courses for special events for
kids. Many have junior golf
programs that are instructional
and fun at the same time. Others may offer clinics or kids
golf days. At Snow Snake
we are holding a clinic with
contests and a 20 foot tall
Golfzilla.
When they start asking to
play golf again is the time to
start teaching them. Teach them
yourself or get them into junior
golf lessons. They should learn
the basic skills of the setup,
swing, putting, and chipping
along with the basics of playing
the game, etiquette, and rules.
You will want to think about
getting clubs at this point. A
starter set will suffice. Junior
clubs are much shorter and
lighter then adult size.
The next step is to get
them out playing. The more
they play the better they will
become. Getting kids started in
golf is one of my main focuses
as an instructor. I started with
my dad allowing me to tag
along at the local course. I fell
in love with the green grass,
sunshine, challenge, and hanging out with my dad. I think
given the opportunity your kids
will find something to love too.

MMCC grade eliminates Bear as valedictorian
Continued from page 1A
Fellow student and
friend Peter DeRoche said,
“Josiah is one of the most
hard working persons I
know. The least you can do
is give him his speech.”
Dan Kane, saying he is a
newcomer to the area, said,
“My concern is whether
this will be my long-term
home or a short-term home.
An issue like this is a good
opportunity to evaluate a
community and its leaders.”
2014 graduate Trish
Wentworth noted that in
the past the seniors had the
biggest say on who would
speak at graduation. She
added, “I think it is wrong
to rate [the grade of] a
college class the same as a
high school class.”
Brian Johnson said,
“The community is not
about the school or administration, it’s about the class
of 2016. Why not let them
speak?”
Tammy Holt said, “The
[graduation] tradition is not
the same every year. When
Josiah leaves here tonight,
he will still walk out of
here a proud young man.”
One of the high school
foreign exchange students also spoke. He said,
“Josiah Bear is one of my
best friends. Sometimes
five minutes can change his
life, and more importantly,
yours.”
Board member Ben
Browning said, “In no way
do I feel a lack of pride
[in Josiah]. There are all
different kinds of people
in this world. I support the
administration and their
decision.”
Board member Steve
Stark said, “Josiah has
been honored here tonight
more than anyone I have
ever seen. I think you are a
fantastic young man.”
Although the Board
declined to interfere in the
administration’s decision,
they all related their pride
in Josiah Bear’s accomplishments in high school.
Another matter that
may raise problems for the
Clare School Board is the
recent presidential directive requiring transgender
restrooms in the nation’s
schools.
Weaver noted that the
board has not had time to
discuss the matter since
they have just received the
letter about it.
Angela Isaac urged
the board to disregard the
directive from the Department of Education.
“Students would have
access to any locker room
or bathroom. It would lead
to more bullying of all
students.”
She said, “We would
have solidarity with the
Board of Education is they
stand up to this. I would do
whatever is necessary to
replace lost [federal funds].
The safety of all our students has to continue.
Brian Johnson said he
concurred with Angela’s
statements. “This is one
of my major concerns. If
my daughter was in school
now, I would pull her out.”
Jeff Gross said, “I would
hope there would be public
comment prior to any decision.”
Board member Steve
Stark said, “I am feeling
guilty about this. I’m not a
proponent of government
involvement in schools
and I am certainly not in
favor of boys using girls’
restrooms. Decisions made
on the local level are more
important.”
During the meeting
the board took time out
to honor Business and
Professional students who
competed, and won at
the national competition
recently.
Superintendent Fillmore
said, “Our students are
nationally known. Twentytwo competed. One team
(the Presentation Manage-
Carea Mullin placed 3rd in
individual presentations at
the BPA Natonals.
The presentation team of Makenzie Harmon, Bailey
Hubel, Kolt Lincoln and Holly Pummell took first place at
the BPA National Leadership Conference..
ment Team) is first in the
whole country.”
Earning the first place
slot at the BPA National
Leadership Conference
in Boston last month was
the presentation team of
Makenzie Harmon, Bailey
Hubel, Holly Pummell and
Kolt Lincoln.
Also honored for her
3rd place in Presentation
Management – Individual
competition was Carea
Mullin.
“We are very proud of
our BPA students,” Fillmore said.
Other business at the
lengthy meeting Monday
included:
*Recognition of 232
years of service to Clare
Public Schools by eleven
employees who retired or
are retiring this year. They
include bus driver Janine
Baldwin (12 years), RTP
Coordinator Brenda Bond
(11 years), Paraprofessional Danette Geyer,
Teacher Pamela Godley (25
years), Teacher Brian Hales
(37 years), Teacher and
BPA advisor Deb Loesel,
Paraprofessional Kathleen
Mihalyfi, Secretary-Clerk
Margo Smith, Teacher
Mark Weaver (13 years),
Pioneer Secretary Gayla
Wiley (30 years), and Paraprofessional Sharon Yats.
*Approval of having
Superintendent Fillmore
“look at a more economical way” to finance student
transportation. “In no way
have we decided to priva-
Shop the
tize,” he said. “This is just
a chance to look and see
what is out there. If it were
to happen every driver we
have would have the option
to continue [driving bus].
He said we plans to talk
with Business Manager
Lynn Graham and President Weaver and present
their findings to the BOE.
*Approved a budget
resolution approving the
Clare-Gladwin RESD budget for the coming year.

Farwell band produces promotional video for Depot
By Steve Landon
Correspondent
People passing by the
Clare railroad depot might
think little has changed
the last few years, however, if you go beyond the
facade you’ll be amazed.
While the original depot
is awaiting completion
the added basement is just
about ready for occupancy
by the Clare County Arts
Council. Soon the push
will be on to complete the
interior and exterior of the
structure as well as add
landscaping. Thanks to
members of the Farwell
High School Band the
project got an added boost
when members took part
in a special video production promoting the depot
restoration project.
Brisk autumn like
temperatures greeted
band members, a film
crew from MAC-TV and
volunteers at the historic
depot Saturday morning.
Band Director Mr. Paul
Shimmons along with the
videos director briefed the
group about the project
before sending them into
position. With the threat
of rain and snow on the
horizon the pressure was
on to get the job done with
as few takes as possible.
Thankfully Mother Nature
held off until after the
shoot was complete.
A High School band
and a 121-year old depot
is not exactly the setting
you would expect for
a modern promotional
video, however, it was just
what the depot restoration
committee needed to get
the ball rolling on their
push to raise funds for the
projects completion.
Mr. Shimmons explained how the project
came about and the bands
involvement.
“A community member,
who is involved in the
restoration of the depot
and a band parent from a
few years back, came to
me with an idea.
The idea was to have
some of the band kids
Band Members await their
marching orders from the
director.

railroad workers pass the

Railroad” in the background.

help make a video to
promote awareness of the
restoration project, get
more people involved and
bring light to the fact that
the Farwell Bands enjoy
supporting the local community.
I never intended to use
the entire band because it
was one of those “extra
events”, being on a Saturday morning there are all
sorts of things going on
that the kids are involved
in. Not knowing exactly
what the entire production
would entail I felt better
having a smaller group to
work with.
Vicky Gunden and
Marty Johnson of the
depot committee came to
the band room for our first
discussion. It was then
We shot a few extra things
like close ups and video of
the kids marching down
the tracks.
I was a bit surprised at
how many students had
no clear idea of where and
what the Depot was when
we started. Now, after being a part of the video they
know and understand a
bit more about their local
community.
It is projects like this
that helps make history
come alive for students.
They really enjoyed the
process...well, except
for hearing those words
that every marching band
knows all too well.... “One
more time Please!”
The students really
enjoyed doing this project.
Being in a music video,
that we decided to use
the folk song “I’ve Been
Working On The Railroad” for obvious reasons.
I had to create an arrangement of that piece for our
band, as there was not an
arrangement to purchase
from some music company. After a few re-writes
of my arrangement the
students and I were able to
come up with a recording
to use. On the day of the
event the MAC-TV camera crew, the Depot people
and myself all met about
9:00 am to get a general,
final plan in place.
I think we shot three to
four times for real after
stepping through the entire
thing a couple of times so
the students could get an
idea of what we wanted.
the theme and the process of getting first hand
experience. Making and
being in and creating a
music video was real life
experience for the students
on a music related project
that also allowed for them
to become a bigger part of
their community. Students
that are a part of their
community like this also
take Great pride in their
community! – Shimmons

Members of the Depot
Restoration Committee
were more than please
with the event and everyone who helped make the
video possible.
“The idea was to draw
attention to our project
and the Farwell High
School Band in a fun and
different way. It was fun
to watch it being made
and we’re looking forward
to seeing the finished
product.
We hope the funds we
raise will at least to allow
us to complete some of the
exterior of the depot and
to let people see we are
making progress. So far,
much of the work has been
out of sight on the inside.
We want to thank Mr.
Shimmons and the members of the Farwell High
School Band who came
out on a chilly Saturday
morning to take part. I
know they practiced the
arrangement really hard
to prepare for it. We also
want to thank MAC-TV
and the City of Clare for
all their help”, said Depot
Restoration committee
member Martin Johnson.
Following editing the final production of the video
will be released. The group
plans to use it when they
kick off their fundraiser
some time in July. For
details and to learn more
about the Clare Depot
Restoration Project check
