Farwell investigation reveals no wrongdoing
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Once again Farwell
Village is in the news
after a special committee
investigated claims and
allegations against the Village President and former
employees.
This time the news is
good, since the committee reported Monday that
after meetings with those
accused, they uncovered
“no evidence of theft or
wrongdoing.”
Council members Vicky
Gunden, Joe Manley
and Chris Brewer were
appointed to a special
Investigation Committee at the last meeting to
“investigate” six of the 11
claims that former Clerk/
Treasurer made at the
February 1st meeting.
Brewer reported to the
Council Tuesday evening
at the Committee of the
Whole meeting which followed the special meeting.
Brewer said, “The
Investigation committee
has met twice. We looked
at the scrap money [Clerk
Conlay had said more than
$700 was missing from the
fund] and interviewed Department of Public Works
employees. We found out
the scrap fund has been
around for a long time and
is used for miscellaneous
purposes. We never discovered any evidence or
proof that any money was
missing.”
He continued that the
Operations report is on
an excel spread sheet
and one of the “cells” for
the operator’s name was
locked out. “They had to
manually change the name
on it.”
Conlay had claimed
that former DPW employee Russ Hamilton had
used Neal Agles’ name to
submit operator’s reports
to the State. Brewer
said Hamilton had sent
information to the State
to clarify that he was the
operator, not Agle.
He said the committee
also determined the expenditure of funds approved
by Village President Gina
Hamilton [$3,000] were all
approved by Council at the
next meeting. “It was an
emergency situation,” he
said. “There are no further
issues there.”
Charges made by Con-
lay that a council member
(Gina Hamilton) was delinquent paying her utility
bill were also investigated.
Brewer said, “Gina admitted she was late. She was
assessed late fees and paid
them.”
Brewer said one other
item came up regarding
the claim that former DPW
Supervisor Aaron Moline
used Village equipment.
Aaron, who was reportedly upset by the allegation,
said in an interview with
the committee that he was
given verbal permission
by James Conlay to use
the equipment “any time
he needed to.” Another
allegation, a comment Moline reportedly made about
“fudging” was not any-
thing about overcharging
the Michigan Department
of Transportation for snow
removal, but a comment
to workers to stop “haggling over work, and do
what needs doing,” Brewer
said. He said the comment
was a miscommunication
and that Moline, who was
DPW Supervisor at the
time, was upset that the
comment was taken out of
context and publicized.
Brewer, Gunden and
Manley were all thanked
for their hard work on the
committee. A full synopsis
of the committee’s findings
are included in this issue.
Two Village Council members have now
resigned following the
controversy that began
at Farwell’s first meeting
in February when Clare/
Treasurer Janet Conlay
presented the list of “concerns” about Village and
allegations against board
members, employees and
former employees.
On February 1, at the
Village’s regular monthly
meeting, the Clerk passed
out the list to audience
members and the council
and told the Council she
wanted their approval to
forward her list to the Village Attorney or she would
be forced “to take the next
step.”
After much discussion,
the Council agreed to send
the list of eleven concerns,
(some of which alleged
that the village president
exceeded her authority;
that one former employee
falsified documents sent
to the State; that another
former employee had told
coworkers to “fudge” work
time to increase a reimbursement from MDOT;
and that funds were
missing from the DPW’s
scrap fund) to the Village
Attorney for her opinion.
Two days later, on the
3rd, the Council met again
and relieved the Clerk
of duties pending the
Attorney’s opinion, after
hearing from various audience members and council
members about their
problems with the Village
office procedures and demeanor towards others.
Monday February 8th,
Taking the Plunge!
Harrison’s Frostbite Festival was held last week to the delight of winter enthusiasts from all over Michigan. Shown
above it was “goosebumps galore” as one of the contestants leaps forward in the annual Polar Plunge, which included
a costume contest. Other events during the festival included an Arts and Crafts Fair, Golf on the Ice, sled decoration
contest, games and crafts for the kids, a Crazy Hat Contest, an Ice Fishing Tournament and parties all over town. The
festival has been held in Harrison for many years.
the Council met again
to discuss Village Attorney Jaynie Hoerhauf’s
written opinion of the
Clerk’s written list. After
reviewing and dismissing
several concerns on the list
as recommended by the attorney, the Council agreed
to set up an investigative
committee to look into the
remaining items.
A recommendation from
Village President Gina
Hamilton and a motion by
Council Member Vicky
Gunden to terminate Janet
Conlay caused the meeting to erupt into a heated
controversy. The Clerk
was defended by Council
member Elton Marshal
who said, “Janet has been
one of the better clerks we
have had. She has done a
good job.” James Conlay
also defended her saying,
“It was her sworn duty to
bring those concerns up.”
Hamilton said, “She is
good at her job, but I have
a problem with her people
skills.” She said she didn’t
feel she would be able
to continue to work with
Clerk/Treasurer Conlay.
In a 4-3 vote, the Council voted to terminate Janet
Conlay’s employment as
the Clerk/Treasurer for
the Village. Hamilton,
Gunden, Council member
Chris Brewer and James
Conlay voted for her
dismissal. James Conlay’s vote was the deciding factor and a surprise
to council and audience
members alike. Marshall,
Joe Manley and Joseph
Hillyard voted against her
termination.
Marshall immediately
announced his resignation
from the Council. Conlay
announced his resignation
later.
Both resignations, Conlay’s effective immediately
and Marshall’s on February 29, were accepted
at the special meeting
Tuesday evening.
The Council will advertise for two new members
for the next two weeks and
hold interviews on March
3rd and 4th for the seats.
The board consensus was
to have Hamilton work
with MMDC through their
Work Experience Program
to find a volunteer to help
at the office until a new
clerk and treasurer are
hired.

grey with blue and orange
accents when it opens in
the summer of 2017.

site plan at a meeting on
February 10, City Manager
Ken Hibl reported Monday
evening at the City Commission meeting.
Hibl noted that

County agrees to spend money on runway upgrade
By Rosemary Horvath
Correspondent
Clare County Commissioners okayed spending
money in order to receive
money to finally repair
the runway at the countyowned airport in Hayes
Township.
MDOT Aeronautics, or
AERO, offers a 50/50 split
of state and local funding
through its program. Estimated cost of the project is
$7,400 for which the local
share will be paid from the
airport fund.
Commissioner Jim
Gelios said the airport
advisory board feels the
project will help revitalize
the community. Gelios is
a member of the advisory
board which voted last
year to include representatives from Hayes Township
and the city of Harrison.
Hayes Supervisor Terry
Acton told commissioners Wednesday he sees the
airport having an important
role as the area progresses
and further develops. Acton is currently a member
of the advisory board.
Acton persuaded the
board to consider creating
an airport authority that
would own and operate
the airport and take it out
of the hands of the county
although the county would
be an equal partner with
the city and township.
The topic has been
discussed by the advisory
board, township and city.
Acton explained all possibilities are being considered in order to guarantee
the airport’s survival.
County Administrator
Tracy Byard and Commissioner Karen Lipovsky
doubted if ownership could
transfer from the county
since the county received
the land from the state
decades ago. A portion
was donated by a private
landowner as well.
The county leases a
building to a restaurant
business located at the
airport. Acton said another
big plus would be to sell
aviation fuel and to have
a used car available for
pilots to use to drive into
town.
Byard added the county
has an opportunity to
qualify for more state grant
funding if the county had
an active role in maintaining the airport.
Another lively discussion ensued when board
Chairman Jack Kleinhardt
suggested reinstating two
board meetings a month,
and having one of them an
evening meeting.
Because commissioners
meet the third Wednesday every month, departments are in a bind if an
unexpected need occurs
that involves spending
money. Waiting four weeks
or more to get approval
can be a problem.
The board talked about
whether to have more
meetings or authorize the
administrator and finance
committee to approve
spending up to a certain
amount without board approval.
Commissioner Lipovski
made a motion to allow
Byard to approve requests
of emergency spending up
to $6,000 with approval
from two members of the
finance committee, and
to allow the 3-member
finance committee to approve expenditures up to
$10,000. Commissioner
Leonard Strouse seconded
the motion. Byard said amounts
would not be taken out of
the fund balance but from
budgeted line items. This
change would also reduce
the number of budget adjustments commissioners
decide approving at their
monthly meetings.
Kleinhardt said approvals should relate only
to emergencies that a
department “can’t operate
without. Something that
would affect the operation
of the building. We will
hold departments accountable. I don’t think anyone
will abuse it.”
Commissioner Dale Majewski countered by asking
if anyone would be fired
for abusing the policy.
Kleinhardt said there is
too much time in-between
meetings. Commissioner
Clare students raise $1700 for diabetes
During the month
of January, Clare kids
participated in a “Kids for
a Cure” fundraiser campaign for Type 1 diabetes
(T1D) research. T1D is
an autoimmune disease in
which a person’s pancreas
stops producing insulin,
a hormone that enables
people to get energy from
food. It occurs when the
body’s immune system
attacks and destroys the
insulin-producing cells in
the pancreas, called beta
cells. While its causes are
not yet entirely understood, scientists believe
that both genetic factors
and environmental triggers
are involved. Its onset has
nothing to do with diet or
lifestyle. There is nothing
you can do to prevent T1D,
and—at present—nothing
you can do to get rid of it.
The fundraising campaign was led by 8th grader
Madison Davis who was
diagnosed with Type 1
The fund raiser lead by 8th grade Madison Davis raised $1700 for Type 1 diabetes research.
Diabetes when she was six
years old. She was joined
by six grader Riley Ketner,
who was also diagnosed
within the last year. Both
students know the reality
of relying on injected insu-
lin for life support. They
must poke their fingers
multiple times every day to
check blood glucose levels
and inject insulin to keep
themselves alive. Their
goals were to raise funds
for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
(JDRF) to help with the
search for a cure, but also
to raise awareness about
Diabetes and the symptoms that go with it.
revenues and only a $7,513
increase in expenditures
leaving $81,067 to add to
the district’s fund balance
after other adjustments.
Donations and an
increase in the property
valuation and the sale of
old busses more than offset
the $18,051 decrease in
Federal funds (Title I and
Title II and Adult Ed WIA).
In the amended budget
the projected fund balance
totals $1,083,322 at the
end of the year, up from
$973,194 at the end of last
year.
The amendments to the
budget were unanimously
approved. Graham said the
budget is more accurate
midyear because, “We have
more information for the
budget.
The blending of the fall
and spring counts means
the student count, at 1,500
at the beginning of the
year, is now 1,500.001.
Another item on the
agenda was awarding
$958,844 in bids for the
district improvements coming up.
Bidders recommended
by Wolgast Corporation included Schepers Concrete
of Grand Rapids - $44,370;
Beyer Roofing of Saginaw - $248,382; Northern
Michigan Glass of Traverse
City - $87,600; Bay Area
Specialty Flooring LLC of
Freeland - $69,411; Gateway Refrigeration of Clare
(Plumbing and HVAC Systems) - $231,513; Gateway
Refrigeration (Temperature
Controls) - $163,125; Ted’s
Electric Service of Rhodes
- $89,493; and Robbin
Harsh Excavating of Clare
(site work) - $24,950.
Because there were no
bidders for the General
Trades, that category will
be rebid.
Other business at the
meeting Monday included:
*A report on “performance season” from Band
Boosters President Melissa
DeRoche who noted that
the High School would
participate in the District
Festival on Friday; and the
pre-festival concert by the
Middle School Band on
February 23.
*An announcement from
George Gilmore that he is
one of five running for the
seat of Joel Johnson in the
State House.
*Approval of bills payable for January totaling
$122,415.30 and net payroll of $319,361.95.
More students, budget increase for Clare
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Clare Schools’ student
numbers have increased by
seven since fall, Superintendent Doug Fillmore
reported Monday evening.
That and the budget
proposed by Governor
Rick Snyder are good news
for the district. Fillmore
reported that the Governors “first view” for next
years’ budget shows a $60
to $120 estimated increase
per student.
More good news came
with the budget adjustments which highlighted
an increase in the fund
balance at the end of the
school year. Business Manager Lynn Graham presented an over view for the
board which shows a more
than $88,000 increase in

Don David agreed, but
objected to raising the
thresholds. “We get left out
of too much now, and this
will leave us out more,” he
said.
Commissioner Jim
Gelios pointed out that
daytime meetings are
convenient for county
employees to be on hand to
answer questions from the
board. They may not attend
night meetings.
Gelios and David were
willing to give the idea a
try.
Following a lengthy
discussion, Lipovsky
reintroduced her motion
that passed without support
from Commissioner David
who said he favored two
monthly meetings but not a
night meeting.
A noncontroversial vote
came when Lori Ware,
community services director, received approval purchasing two 2013 Malibu
cars and two 2015 Sonic
Hatchback cars for a total
price of $49,848, from McGuire Chevrolet in Clare.
This will be paid from the
senior services millage.
Ware explained homedelivered meals have
increased to more than
100,000 a year. Drivers have used their own
cars on the 10 routes
encompassing an average
of 93,000 miles. Some
$48,000 is paid in mileage.
Purchasing the four
vehicles will go with hiring
four drivers. She plans to
combine routes so that no
one route takes longer than
three hours. Also approved was a
preventative maintenance
contract of $9,479 with
Answer Heating & Cooling

She added all equipment recently installed is
under warranty while older
equipment is not. Answer’s
preventative maintenance
covers everything. This
provides consistency by
dealing with one company,
she said. The community
development department
“has inventoried every
single piece of equipment,”
she added.
Answer Heating &
Cooling also was install
a rooftop HVAC system
at the animal shelter. Cost
of the contract is $60,829
and will be paid out of the
animal shelter improvement fund. The company
indicated the system is the
most efficient way to meet
the heating, cooling and
ventilation requirements
for the space which is
4,075 square feet. Seiter Eletric of Clare
was hired to replace existing fixtures and lamps in
the interior and exterior
of the courthouse and jail.
The project has a cost of
$95.249.20 if the county
receives an energy credit
from Consumers Energy.
Otherwise, the contract
will be $104,825. This
amount is part of the bond
issue the county has for
building improvements.
Ware explained the new
LED lighting will have a
return on investment from
two to 10 years, depending
on lighting location.
Also covered by the
bond is replacing mechanical parts of the courthouse
elevator. A contract for
$54,600 was approved
with Central Elevator
Company of Portage.
This is a Senior Services
project. Ware explained
modernizing the existing
Otis passenger elevator
involves bringing it up to
code.
In other matters, the

The council also took
action to remove Janet
Conlay’s name from all
accounts, the safe deposit
box and Certificates of
Deposit as well as online
banking access.

Also during the special
meeting Middle Michigan Development Clare
County Director Kathy
Methner introduced new
MMDC President and
CEO Jim McBryde and
offered to help the Village
find interim help until a
new Clerk and Treasurer
are hired.
After a recommendation
by McKenna & Associates Planner Sarah Traxler,
the Council set a public
hearing for establishing a
Downtown Development
Authority for April 4th.
She also gave an update
on the 2015 Michigan
Natural Resouces Trust
Fund grant approval for
$25,000 in matching funds
to update and improve the
Village Park.
Tracy Lee said, “Our
plans are to build walkways thru the park to be-
come ADA compliant, and
work around the historic
[Civil War] monument to
start a new memorial with
armed forces flags and
decorative paving.” She
said this would be the first
phase of the project. She
said more information is
available at the Village
Office.
The Michigan Natural
Resources Trust Fund
is providing half of the
$50,000 Phase I development budget for the instal-
lation of accessible paved
paths, landscaping and
hardscaping around the
Civil War obelisk-shaped
monument to emphasize
its importance and prominence, signage to emphasize the stately trees and
the Village’s history, and
the installation of a concrete pad for a future bus
shelter on the eastern edge
of the park. The park’s
master plan, adopted in
2015, contains additional
improvements for which
the Village will continue to
apply for grants.
Business at the Committee of the Whole meeting
included reports including
that DPW workers need
training and a recommendation from John Holland
from the Michigan Rural
Water Association for annual preventative maintenance for the lift stations.
Kennedy Industries quoted
a cost of $7,400 for the
annual service.
The charges and what the Investigation Committee found
Synopsis by Committee
member Chris Brewer
Item #1: Concerning the
theft of cash the DPW scrap
metal money.
The Investigation
Committee reviewed all of
the existing information
regarding the scrap metal
money kept at the DPW
barn. In addition, the
committee conducted
interviews with Jason
Walters, Rob Sabisch, and
Aaron Moline in order to
determine the facts around
the scrap metal money.
The investigation revealed
the scrap metal money has
been around for many years
although there has been
several changes in how it
was handled over the years.
The general understanding
was that the money and
how it was funded was
approved by the village
council and that it was used
to buy supplies, repair &
purchase equipment, and to
buy breakfast etc. when the
DPW employees were in
on overtime plowing snow.
Historically, the money
was actively maintained
by the DPW supervisor
which included tracking the
balance, deposits, receipts,
and maintaining it in a
secured cabinet.
At the time of the alleged
theft, the money was being
maintained using cash raised
through the sale of scrap
metal. The practice was
stopped early in 2015 but the
cash was still maintained in
the DPW barn. However,
the scrap metal money was
kept in a can in the DPW
office and no one was
responsible for maintaining
the cash or tracking its
usage. In June 2015 the
current DPW employees
were not comfortable having
the money in the DPW
barn. At the time the money
was turned in to the village
office the DPW employees
indicated that there was no
way to know if there was
really any money missing.
The money in the can was
still being used by the DPW
and because the balance
wasn’t tracked, there was
no way to know if money
was missing or had just been
used for purchases. Based
on the interview, the DPW
employees had purchased
a light bar for one of the
trucks and some food and
supplies. There was no other
proof of evidence of theft
and the DPW employees
did not know who made the
determination that $700.00
was missing. At the time
the money was turned in at
the village office there was a
total of$231.00.
The Investigation
Committee could find
no evidence of theft or
wrongdoing by the DPW
employees mentioned
in the complaint and
determined that no
additional follow-up
was required by law
enforcement.
The Investigation
Committee further
recommended that the
practice of maintaining cash
at the DPW facility using
money from scrap metal
collection be stopped.
Item closed.
Item #2: Concerning
Russ Hamilton using Neal
Agle’s name to file Monthly
Operating Reports.
The investigation
Committee reviewed
the existing documents
related to filing of the
monthly operating reports
and interviewed DPW
employees Jason Walters
and Rob Sabisch. Based
on comments made by the
DPW employees, it appears
that there were issues [with]
trying to change the name
on the reports due to issues
with the reporting software
and the cells being locked.
The reports were edited
manually until the software
was fixed.
The committee also
received a copy of an email
between Russ Hamilton
and the MDEQ advising
the MDEQ that Russ was
responsible for filing the
monthly operating reports.
The committee requested
the MDEQ provide copies
for the monthly operating
reports for the period in
question just to insure that
there were no issues.
This item will remain
open until copies of the
monthly operating reports
are received.
Item #3: Concerning
repairs and upgrades at the
water treatment facility
approved by [Village]
President Gina Hamilton.
The Investigation
Committee reviewed
documents associated with
the $3000.00 spent on
repairs and upgrades at the
well house.
It should be noted that
all expenditures were
reviewed and approved
by the village council at
the next regular council
meeting.
The list of items
purchased were reviewed by
the Investigation Committee
and included such things
as an eyewash station, GFI
outlets, and larger items
like a lift station pump. All
items were recommended by
a certified operator and the
Investigation Committee felt
that they were critical items
that needed to be addressed.
The letter provided
by the village attorney
indicated that such
expenditures are well
within the authority of
the Village President
and so the Investigation
Committee could find no
fault with the decisions
made by President Gina
Hamilton.
The Investigation
Committee suggested that
the council should look at
providing approval to the
president to make such
decisions and list a dollar
amount that could be spent
without direct approval.
Item closed.
Item #4: Concerning
additional charges against a
property owner regarding the
removal of excess trash.
The Investigation
Committee determined
that President Gina
Hamilton was acting
within the best interest
of the village in trying to
remove excess trash from
the curb before a holiday
weekend.
This was addressed in the
opinion letter provided by
the village attorney and is
within the authority granted
to the President. The village
trash ordinance does not
provide clear direction on
handling of large amounts
of trash generated when
a tenant is evicted from a
home. The village currently
allows residents to pay
extra to have the village
pick-up additional bags of

Clare. It will be a 150,000
square foot store complete
with a Garden Center,
Tire & Lube Express and
a fuel station. We are
currently working through
the various permits needed
for any new store. Right
now, it looks like we hope
to begin construction this
summer with a scheduled
grand opening date of
summer 2017.”
She continued, “This
new store will offer a full
line of affordable fresh
produce and groceries,
including organic and
natural selections, in addition to local favorites.
The store will also feature
quality, value-priced general merchandise, including health & beauty items,
baby & pet supplies, toys
& games, electronics,
household items and lawn
and garden items.”
Hatfield also noted,
“Our full-service Walmart
pharmacy will have a convenient drive-through and
offer a full range of products and services including our popular generic
prescriptions. Walmart
pharmacy team members
can answer product and
prescription questions and
customers can ask about
health and wellness solutions.”
She said the grocery line
will include fresh produce,
a bakery, full-service deli,
prepared meal options and
organic/natural selections.
General merchandise
categories include family
apparel, health and beauty
supplies, electronics, toys,
jewelry, automotive products, home furnishings,
hardware, sporting goods,
pet supplies and household
goods.
Special convenience
services will include a
pharmacy, vision center,
digital-photo processing center and Walmart
Pickup.
The new Clare store is
expected to employ up to
300 associates. Hatfield
said, “We will begin accepting applications for
employment about two to
three months before the
store opens.”
Last year Walmart
announced a $2.7 billion
investment over two years
to its U.S. workforce to
raise wages, provide bet-
scheduling choice and
flexibility. In Michigan
the company is investing
nearly $36 million towards
those goals, Hatfield
reported.
Beginning this month,
she said, the new full-time
average hourly wage in
Michigan will be $13.51
per hour.
garbage but does not provide
direction or additional fees
when large amounts of trash
are placed at the curb.
The committee would
suggest amending the
trash ordinance to provide
direction in these situations
and set a fee structure for
trash removal. This would
allow the village to address
these situations and provide
cover costs associated with
this work.
use of Village Equipment by
a retired DPW Employee.
The Investigation
Committee interviewed
Aaron Moline, Rob
Sabisch, and Jason Walters
regarding this incident and
there were actually two
incidents, one involving
the village backhoe and a
second involving the blade
truck. In the first incident
involving the use of the
village backhoe, the retired
DPW employee obtained
permission from the DPW
committee chair prior
to using that equipment.
During the initial approval
process, the retired DPW
employee indicated that
he was told that he could
use the village equipment
anytime so he felt he was
acting appropriately when he
used the blade truck.
There was no evidence
of wrongdoing on the part
of the existing or retired
DPW employees.
The current DPW
employees referred the
retired DPW employee to
the DPW Committee chair
when the original request
was made and the retired
DPW employee was told that
he could use the equipment.
The Investigation
Committee recommended
that the village stop using
verbal agreements in these
situations and move to a
written contract in these
situations in order to prevent
similar issues in the future.
Item Closed.
Village President having
delinquent accounts.
The Investigation
Committee reviewed last
year’s sewer bills for
President Gina Hamilton
and determined that the
accounts were delinquent
but late fees were assessed
and paid without question.
The President never tried
to use her position to
obtain special treatment
related to her bills or late
fees.
When interviewed,
President Gina Hamilton
indicated that she only has
sewer connections and that
she has always paid her
bill in this fashion. The
Investigation Committee
determined that it was not
within their authority to tell
people how they should
pay their bills but would
recommend that being a
public official that Gina
might look at other options
or ways to keep the account
current.
Item Closed.
items related to the MDOT
Trunkline and comments
regarding Aaron Moline.
This item was not on
the list of complaints
investigated by the
Investigation Committee
but was brought up for
discussion by Aaron Moline
during his interview. The
first comments involved
removal of snow along Main
Street.
As written, the
comments made it sound
as though Aaron was
suggesting that the village
falsify billing to MDOT
regarding time spent
removing snow from the
turn lane.
The larger content of the
comment was related to
plowing snow and insuring
that the store fronts along
Main Street were properly
cleaned and not to worry so
much about the cost. If cost
did become an issue, the
snow could be pushed into
the turn lane and the time
charged back to overall snow
removal along Main Street.
The suggestion was not
to falsify documents or
arbitrarily charge MDOT
but to respond to the
needs of the community
and manage the cost
appropriately.
The comments were
poorly worded but were not
meant to suggest anyone
within the DPW falsify
documents.
The second item involved
the suggestion of ‘fudging’
the numbers on the monthly
operating report. In this
case the comment was not
to ‘fudge’ the numbers but a
phrase ‘fudge it up’ meaning
to get it done or finish it up
so they could work on other
things.
Again, the issue was
around communication
and a minor
misunderstanding related
to the meaning of a phrase.
There was no evidence
of wrongdoing or intent to
falsify documentation.

Bits & Pieces
Pat Maurer, Review Correspondent
Tale of two professionals
I’ve always been taught
there are two sides to
every story. Certainly in
some of the stories The
Clare County REVIEW
reported last week, this
axiom holds true.
For instance we
reported that Dr. Robert
Townsend has had his
medical license suspended
by the State. Although
true, I have to wonder
how he was set up and
was it really a justifiable
action. The report claims
an undercover agent had
received pills from Dr.
Townsend, without an
examination or review of
their medical records.
I’m sure it all started
with a complaint from
a disgruntled patient,
because, more than likely,
Dr. Townsend refused
to give the patient the
subscription drugs they
wanted. I say this because
I had a conversation with
Dr. Townsend a year ago
about this very issue.
When you are dealing in pain medicine, as
a doctor you are walking
a slippery slope. Some
patients are in great need
while others, let’s just say
they need the medicine
because of their addiction.
As a doctor it is sometimes difficult to discern
who really is in pain, and
who is addicted. And as
a doctor you have to be
leery of those that become
angry when you don’t
treat them, and they then
take their issue to a higher
authority.
Dr. Townsend, although I have never been
a patient and never taken
pain medicine, is an astute
businessman and a quality
guy. At least that’s my
impression. He jumped
on the medical marijuana
bandwagon and has done
well for himself, with ten
clinics throughout the
state. When you discuss
medical issues with him,
he seems terribly concerned about providing
natural forms of pain relief
versus prescribing pills.
When Dr. Robert
Vanderbrook was shown
the door by Mid-Michigan
Medical Center, and was
widely thought that the
Center was concerned with
Dr. Vanderbrook’s volume
of patients and the amount
of pain medicine he was
prescribing. Our newspaper was flooded with calls
from angry patients wondering where they could
go, and who they could
see, to get relief from their
horrific pain.
Dr. Townsend stepped
up to the plate. He told
this columnist anyone that
calls should get in touch
with him and he will try
to help. He even ran an
advertisement stating Dr.
Vanderbrook’s patients
should call him. He later
confessed to me that, again
it was his duty to attempt
to wean these patients
off of the dependency of
pain drugs and on to more
natural relief.
I don’t know how that
worked out. If you believe
the Bureau of Osteopathic
Medicine and Surgery, I
guess it didn’t work out
very well.
TODAY JANET
CONLAY is without a
job. The former Farwell
Village Clerk/Treasurer
was fired by the Board
that hired her. They didn’t
believe her side of the
story, although they agreed
to investigate the charges
she made against other
members of the Council,
and workers employed by
Frigid February winding
down once more
Farwell.
In a nutshell, Conlay
made several allegations against the Village
President, other members of the Council and
employees that worked
for the Village. Some
took offense, and others
thought the allegations
to be petty. By a 4-3
vote the Council sent her
packing.
I can say unequivocally this newspaper’s interactions with Conlay have
always been good. She
seemed very professional
and handled her business
in a timely fashion.
Personally, I found her
allegations to be disturbing. By that I mean,
Farwell Village is an
extremely small municipality and everyone
knows everyone, and if
you are on a Board or
an employee you most
likely are responsible for
a variety of functions and
job duties overlap. Supposed improprieties may
occur, but they need to be
handled when they happen, and not in a letter
several months later.
Conlay was probably
a victim of personality clashes. She didn’t
get along with the right
people, and unfortunately
for her, some of those
people voted to terminate
her employment.
Although there are two
sides to this story, the
moral here might be to
resist clashing with those
that have the power to
fire you.

You Can’t Stop What
You Don’t Know
Come Join us at the Town Hall
Meeting: Current Trends in
Substanceportunity
Abuse
for us to get out
When it comes to alcohol and drugs, trends are
always changing. There
are many everyday items
that you wouldn’t even
take a second look at, but
with an understanding of
this culture you quickly
find out that there is
another meaning. It can
be hard to keep up with all
the trends and practices of
substance use and abuse
as they are always evolving. The Clare/Gladwin
Communities That Cares
Coalition wants to stop
the underage drinking and
drug usage in our community. After attending
one of these presentations
you will know what is
out there, where to find it,
how people are abusing it,
how items have become
popular and why you
had not heard of it, new
trends, logos, stash compartments, products, and
much more along with
having the knowledge to
stop it!
Officer Galloway is
highly regarded as one of
the nation’s top experts in
various drug and alcohol
trends. His countless
hours of research keeps
his presentations current,
evolving with the trends.
One thing holds true! All
of us are dealing with underage drinking and drug
usage in our community.
Now what are we going to
do about it? This is an op-
there, educate ourselves
and do something about it? If there is a logo, identifier, term, picture, song,
or clothing item, possible
stash compartment, new
drug product, right in front
of us and we don’t even
realize its relevance in the
drug or alcohol culture,
how can we prevent, reduce or stop it?
“Mock Teen Bedroom
will be available”
This is a room or large
area that is set up with over
150 visual aids including
many popular non- alcoholic and non-drug related
items. The room also includes several items that
are popular in the youth &
young adult alcohol and
drug culture. Attendees get
an opportunity to identify
items that might be indicators of underage drinking
or drug abuse through
popular trends, concealment, music and other
miscellaneous items. These
items include clothing, hidden containers, alcopops,
magazines, music, logos,
posters, etc. Please join us at Mid MI
College, in Harrison, February 24th, from 6:00pm to
9:00pm, in the Michigan
Room, for this informative
workshop. There is no cost
and refreshments will be
provided. Be prepared to
be amazed.

The
Valentine’s Day is over
again and now there’s only
ten more days until another
February “bites the dust”
or in this case “snow” for
another year.
It was a quiet holiday
for us. We exchanged cards
and the love of my life
showed up with a bouquet
of roses, which I posted on
Facebook of course.
I always know what to
get for him. As long as it is
chocolate or chocolate covered, I know he will love
it! That’s what I did too.
I have to get him something. After all these years
and putting up with me,
he is still my best friend,
strongest support and my
favorite Valentine.
My milestone birthday
has come and gone too.
In fact it was just another working day for both
of us, so I am hoping for
dinner out this weekend for
a late celebration.
I’m not sure how I feel
about turning 70. For years
that is the age I always said
I felt like when I wasn’t
feeling well – “I feel like a
70 year old!”
Guess I can’t use
that one anymore. I was
complaining about it to
granddaughter Alison
today when I took her
to soccer practice. Her
advice? “From now on just
say you feel like you are
80 Grandma!”
Smart girl.

Letters
To the Editor,
In regards to your article
about the Garfield Twp
issue, I agree with Gary
Hendershot 100%. Very
well put! I am so sorry
you did not win the last
election.
As far as Terry Acton,
if someone is paying their
taxes and they want to
keep the old family cabin
because “their grandfather
built it” and “they can’t let
go” why should anyone,
other than the owner, have
the right to decide it needs
to be torn down? If it’s MY
PRIVATE property there
should be no “children” in
danger of being hurt, there
shouldn’t be any kind of
“safety” concern- unless
someone is trespassing
on my property. The old
buildings have history,
they’re part of the family’s
memories, and they are not
“dangerous”, just unsightly
to the part-timers in their
expensive second homes.
However, if it’s on my private property, my property
taxes are paid up to date
and there are numerous
signs posted declaring its
private with no trespassing
allowed- it should not be a
problem or an issue.
Lastly I would like to
address Mr Byl. ....... and
let me start by saying I
cannot believe the quote
that came out of your
mouth-HOW DARE YOU.
You are saying that the
only people you are here
to represent are NOT those
of us who live here all year
round, those of us who
can’t afford luxuries like
a second home, those of
us who are voters in local
elections and who voted
for you ....... No, You are
here to “represent people”
“who have real investments” and who “are fed
up”. The ones who live
here only a few months out
of the year, the ones that

Of course if you add

their spouses and their
kids, there’s a birthday
nearly every week all year
long…the old I get the

his too. He was 29 on the
13th. He thinks it is just
too close to 30, which must
sound pretty old to him I
guess. Actually it sounds
pretty good to this old
lady…
I told him my 30s were
some pretty good years.
February and March
have always been big
birthday months in this
family. My brother’s, mine
and Moms were all within
one week of each other.
When I was a kid, I used
to hate that because we all
had to celebrate together. I
always wished it could be
just my special day…
Well I got my wish,
one of my biggest regrets,
because Mom and brother
Don are gone now. I
would give anything if we
could celebrate birthdays
together again.

Let me repeat that

they didn’t like the old
cabin next door, why did
they build there?? Why
should all of us who call
this area home change
what is ours to suit the
part-time few?! And yes,
the part-timers have invested MONEY in their second
homes .......... but we have
invested our entire lives to
this area. And since you

would care a little bit about
those of us who voted you

THAT doesn’t happen

County poverty levels not
new to nutrition network
Dear Editor:
The poverty numbers
that Mike Wilcox raised in
his last column are indeed
disturbing. Unfortunately,
these numbers are not new
to us here at the Community Nutrition Network.
We know that almost
2,000 children and more
than 3,000 adults in Clare
County do not always
know where they will find
their next meal. That’s
why, for nearly 5 years,
volunteers at Community
Nutrition Network have
purchased a semi-truckload
of food and distribute it
so we see the faces behind
those numbers. In February, we provided nutritional food for 231 families.
At our March event, each
family that comes will
also get a packets of seeds
and instructions on how
to grow their own food as
a step toward self sufficiency.
Because of the need
in the community, we
are grateful for partners
like McGuire Chevrolet
in Clare, which provides
us with a warm, enclosed
place each month to
distribute the meat, vegetables, fruit, breads and
other foods we purchase.
That’s why we depend on
organizations, churches,
and area businesses that
contribute the $2,000 each
month it takes to purchase
the truck full of food. In
March, Clare United Methodist Church provides the
funding. And that’s why
we appreciate the dozens
of volunteers who give of
their time to make each
event run smoothly. None
of this would happen without our partners. We are
blessed to have them.
We hope that someday
our services are no longer
needed and poverty in our
county will no longer be
an issue. But until that day
we plan to be around to
help. Our next food distribution will be at McGuire
Chevrolet on March 5.

volunteer or to obtain flyers, contact Nancy Petree
at [email protected] or

Garfield blight ordinance the people’s perspective
Dear Editor,
For the past few weeks,
I have been following
the various articles and
letters written about the
new blight ordinance.
One thing has stood out
to me--no one is writing
from the point of view
of the people. No one is
trying to explain to readers
why the people of Garfield
Township are so angry and
concerned.
Due to this, I want to
outline some of the problems that people have with
this ordinance. I am basing
my arguments off of a
copy of the Hayes Township Blight Ordinance,
which is almost exactly
what Garfield Township
wishes to pass.
1. Checks and Balances
The ordinance allows
for the Township to go
around the courts and thus
save money. However,
this allows the Township
Board and the officers they
appoint to use whatever
power they wish. Without
the court system checking
the actions of the Board,
Supervisor Byl can do
almost anything he wants.
There is nothing to stop
him or the rest of the
Board from abusing their
power.
2. 180 Day Vacancy
A large amount of the
people who live in Garfield Township live here
seasonally. When they’re
not here, obviously their
homes sit vacant, usually
Continued on next page

on page 7A
Letters
Garfield blight ordinance
for an extended period
of time. Under the new
ordinance, the property
owner must inform the
township if their home will
be vacant for 180 days or
longer.
If the homeowner does
not notify the Township,
the home is classified as
dangerous, even if it is in
a good condition. This one
clause in the ordinance
could classify many buildings in the Township as
dangerous without any real
reasoning behind it.
3. Discrepancies
At the last Township
Board meeting, it was
brought up that the term
“Dangerous Building”
could be applied to occupied buildings in the
township. It was stated
that people who do not
have the means to fix their
home are up for forced
removal from their homes.
At the meeting, the Board
Pew Sleeper strictly optional Keep trying to reach those
claimed that the ordinance
would apply only to vacant homes. NOWHERE
in the ordinance does it
state that buildings not up
to code must be vacant
to fall under the jurisdiction of the ordinance. The
Township Board may
intend for only vacant
buildings to be considered,
but the ordinance is much
broader than that. It gives
the Township Board the
power to raze buildings
that are currently occupied. Even if the current
Township Board doesn’t
exercise that right, nothing
will stop the next set of
people on the board from
exercising that right.
This new ordinance has
too many problems to go
into effect. The people
need to be informed about
the problems and how this
ordinance can affect their
daily lives.
Edgar Espinoza Reedy
Farwell High School
Right to carry victory in West Virgina
To the Editor,
Our elected officials
are constantly urging us
to contact them concerning problems that may
affect our lives. All of
my adult life, I have
made a serious effort to
contact them concerning laws that they make. This sincere effort has
not been successful
in too many instances
since often my efforts
are totally ignored by
those we elect.
To be specific, I spend
summers in Harrison
and the rest of the year
in Shiawassee County. Last November, i sent
out letters to my Clare
County State House
Legislative Representative. No response. I
called his office, an aid
stated that they probably
lost my letter and could I
send another. I did. Still
no response.
I sent letters to both
State Senators representing Clare and Shiawassee
County. No response. I called their office,
left a message. Still no
response. I sent a letter to the governor, no
response. I called his
office and an aid was extremely rude in his (live)
response.
I sent a letter to our
Attorney General and got
a response...not too acceptable, but his aid did
respond. The ONLY follow
up I received was from
the aid of my Shiawassee House member who
did an excellent job of
answering the question around which my
letters were centered. Two Senators and one
House member did not
extend me the courtesy
of answering my letters......nor following
through after a phone
call. Public relations,
where?
An excuse that our
law makers receive too
many letters is a facade
since we’re living in an
extremely apathetic era
and people don’t want
to bother to contact their
elected officials. I shall
continue my efforts. James Crawford

is something we may be
holding our breath waiting
for longer than Houdini ever
could. Because fixing the
problem would lead them
into the very neighborhoods
they run in these cities and
do nothing about.
I leave you with statement
by Samuel Adams:
“In a state of tranquility, wealth, and luxury, our
descendants would forget
the arts of war* and the
noble activity and zeal
which made their ancestors
invincible. Every art of corruption would be employed
to loosen the bond of union
which renders our resistance
formidable. When the spirit
of liberty, which now animates our hearts and gives
success to our arms*, is
extinct, our numbers will accelerate our ruin and render
us easier victims to tyranny.
If ye love wealth better than
liberty, the tranquility of
servitude than the animating
contest of freedom—go from
us in peace. We ask not your
counsels or arms. Crouch
down and lick the hands
which feed you. May your
chains sit lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that
ye were our countrymen!”

people any of these things,
or other activities that result
in death. As a matter of
fact more people die from
vehicle crashes, or a toxic
substance, and drowning.
I live in a rural area, a
small city, and many of
the people have firearms at
home, and many carry them
as well. However violent
deaths involving those firearms are quite rare here, and
in most every rural area or
small city. Hype created by
those who wish to disarm the
public in the name of safety
disregard these facts.
So if we allow the Federal, or State government to
circumvent the Constitution,
they will continue to do so,
and will take baby steps
further and further down that
path, all done in the name of
safety. I will revert back to
a founding father, Benjamin
Franklin who said “Those
who would give up Essential
Liberty to purchase a little
Temporary Safety, deserve
neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Make no mistake, it is
indeed a mission by Democrats to disarm the public.
Instead of taking away the

actions of the very few, perhaps they could instead face
the problem head on, formulate a sensible plan, and execute that plan. But sensible

Dear Editor:
First of all, congratulations to the people for
re-acquiring your right to
carry arms without permits
from government. In my
opinion, and also Constitutional adherence, this is
a win. Where in the 2nd
Amendment does it state
in the language the word
“permit”? We are not talking about missiles here, but
small arms, that which we
are absolutely certain the
founders intended us to have
the ability to keep and bear.
West Virgina recently
passed a law that allows
citizens to carry a firearm
without a permit, a right
guaranteed by the 2nd
Amendment. As a matter of
fact, in the language of the
2nd Amendment does not
include permits of any type,
and anyone well versed
in history surrounding the
Constitution and the intent
of this Amendment know
full well.
Every day in America,
and around the world people
die. They die from various
things for various reasons.
Death and taxes are indeed
two things you simply can’t
escape. Vehicle accidents,
falling off a ladder, drowning in a pool or lake for
instance. Yet people are not
rabidly trying to tax or deny
legislators with concerns
encircling the island, swam
in the Lake Huron waves
and enjoyed the beach. We
took in a delightful lunch
and did the fort and fudge
thing. It was a fabulous day
that further grew our love for
one another. We ended the day watching the sunset and caught
the last boat off the island. We drove the 4 hours back
to Davisburg, MI. We then
found ourselves in a bit of a
pickle. I was a youth pastor,
and I lived in an apartment
across from the church.
Lisa, my fiancé, was staying
with a deacon’s family. The
trouble was, it was now 2:30
am. We didn’t want to wake
up the deacon’s family, and
staying with me was not an
option.
We were young and in
love. We had not planned
out how late it would be
when we got back. Together
we decided that Lisa would
sleep on the front pew of the
church. When the pastor
walked in at 7 am, there was
Lisa. They were both really
surprised! I share this little story because more couples need to
hold hands and watch more
sunsets. The Bible asks
husbands to love their wives
as Christ loves the church,
and it challenges wives to
respect their husbands. If
more couples would live by
those two principles, they
would change the world. Married or single, widowed
or divorced, how are you
doing with the love and
respect? The sleeping on the
church pew thing is strictly
optional.
Pastor Scott Harper
Clare Assembly of God
Dear Editor:
In my first hour 7th grade
science class, a student fell
asleep. The teacher pulled
an awesome prank. All the
other students walked out,
and the teacher woke him
with the shocking news,
“You’re still here! It’s after
school. Everyone is gone!” With a startle, the student
ran out of the room, and
everyone had a good-hearted
laugh. The message, “Sleep
and science don’t mix” was
received loud and clear. No
one ever fell asleep in that
class again.
Preachers have it tougher. One preacher asked a small
boy about sleeping in church,
and the boy said, “I sleep
in church because the Lord
rested on the seventh day.”
I am in my thirtieth year
of marriage to the woman
of my dreams. When we
were engaged, I took her
to Mackinaw Island in the
summer. We had a wonderful day. We ran eight miles

Clare approves five-year rec plan, traffic study
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
After opening and
closing a Public Hearing Monday evening, the
Clare City Commission
unanimously approved a
new five-year Recreation
Master Plan for the City.
The previous plan has
expired and a Master Plan
is necessary to apply for
grants through the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources.
Parks and Recreation
Director Joy Simmer, who
developed the new plan,
outlined the goals that
were developed.
ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act) accessibility topped the “Global
Planning Goals and
Objectives,” she wrote.
“All park projects should
be undertaken with a goal
of improving ADA access
guidelines for persons with
disabilities.” Purchases
of park equipment was
included in the ADA goal.
Other goals included a
recycling program in the
City parks and a stewardship partnership with the
school systems; continued
support of the Pere Marquette Rail Trail “into and
through Clare;” a comprehensive park plan for city
property with recreation
potential; partnerships
with community organizations; and continued support of the Clare Railroad
Depo restoration.
Park Improvement
goals include development
of the Clare Recreational
Complex including a
butterfly garden, skate
park, walking trails with
exercise stations; youth
soccer fields; a multipurpose field, concession
stand and bathroom, two
picnic pavilions, all ADA
accessible.
Parking lot paving at
Brookwood and maple
Street parks is listed next
and another goal is to
develop a sledding hill.
Next is a goal of replacing signage at the McIreland Trails entrances and
developing shuffleboard
courts.
Basketball courts is
another goal as is purchasing grills and picnic tables
for all parks.
Finally, the Plan sets a
goal of identifying locations for “pocket parks”
in underserved neighbor-
hoods.
The Plan also lists
working with citizen
advisory groups to meet
leisure needs for both
youth and seniors and
the re-establishment of a
farmer’s market program
in the City.
In hopes of developing
a plan to use a $375,000
Small Urban grant which
must be used in 2017, the
City Commission approved a traffic study.
“In his agenda report,
City Manager Ken Hibl
said, “Our primary motivation to see this funding
was an MDOT (Michigan
Department of Transportation) traffic model
conducted about eight
years ago that indicated
increased development in
the north sector of Clare
that would cause traffic
congestion on US-127…”
He said a traffic study
by Walmart “did not reveal
any major concerns or
issues and indicated that
the current road network
within this area will accommodate their development without adverse
effect.”
“Continued development of the area could impact US-127 and adjacent
Clare County roads,” Hibl
said.
MDOT has proposed
a round-about to handle
increasing traffic in the
area and estimated the cost
at about $2 million. They
also said they have no
funds to contribute to the
project.
Hibl said “We have
no data or supporting
evidence to justify the
need for a very expensive
round-about. There may be
other far-less expensive,
common sense [projects]
we can do to accommodate
further north development.”
There is an essential
need to complete a professional assessment to determine whether we will have
significant, critical traffic
issues resulting from future development...”
He said a quote from
Progressive Engineering
through Gourdie-Fraser
was $17,750. The Clare
County Road Commission
will contribute $4,000 and
the Mt. Pleasant TSC has
requested funds but will
not have an answer until
May. Meanwhile, Hibl
said, “Our street funds
have sufficient fund balance to accommodate the
$13,700 cost.
City meeting Monday
included:
*Approval to proceed
with finding funding to
convert 182 street light fixtures throughout the City
to LED, a move that would
extend bulb life to approximately 25 years (or more)
and cost approximately
$63,000 to $64,000. The
project would be eligible
for PA 99 funding, Hibl
reported, asking the Commission for their approval
to “proceed with placing
the PA 99 mechanism in
Place to allow us to fund
this project. The Commission will have final
approval of the project.
*A letter from State
Representative Joel
Johnson who reported
new legislation pending in
the House to allow local
governments and schools
to publicize both ballot language and plan language
descriptions in advance of
a proposal appearing on the
ballot, and removing the
additional rule of 60 days
prior to an election ban.
*In his City Manager’s
report, Hibl noted that
plans are underway for
the Community Pathway
Project which will connect to the PMDL in Clare.
The Pathway will allow
connection to multiple
pathways across Michigan
and the proposed phase is
to complete the Community Pathway from Clare to
Ithaca.
*The Commission
approve bills payable of
$103,607.39 before adjourning to closed session
for negotiations.
Grant Twp. adopts
poverty exemption
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
In a quiet meeting February 9 , the Grant Township
board also adopted the Federal Poverty Guidelines that are
used in the determination of
Poverty (tax) exemptions for
2016. Supervisor Dan Dysinger noted that there were
three applications this year.
“It’s the first in four years that
we have had any,” he said.
He continued saying, “If they
[applicants] meet the criteria
they will receive partial of
full waivers of their property
taxes. It is based on factors
including income and all assets.” Maximum income for a
family of one is $11,770; for
a family of four it is $24,250.
For each additional family
member $4,160 is added.
The board heard from
County Chairman Jack Kleinhart about three millage proposals that will be coming up
for election this year. He also
reported on county activities
and the progress on repairs to
the county building.
The board also accepted
the resignation of long-time
Deputy Treasurer Jodie Chinavare. She has been with the
township for 16 years.
Dysinger reminded board
members that next month’s
regular meeting will be March
8 at 7:30 p.m. and Budget
Workshops are scheduled
for 7 p.m. on March 15 and
March 28. A Public Hearing
on the adoption of the 201617 budget with be held at the
March 28 meeting.
Finally bills totaling$12,740.54 were approved.
Eyes on the Forest
Kylee Berger-District Forester
Clare Conservation District
Farwell awarded $25K
The Village of Farwell,
Michigan was recently
awarded a $25,000 2015
Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant
for the Phase I development
of its historic park on the
Village Hall site (117 East
Main Street). “Residents
of Farwell – and visitors
to our numerous community events, including the
Lumberjack Festival – are
familiar with our wonderful park, which is central to
our downtown and a very
special gathering place”
said Village President Gina
Hamilton. “The Village
Council and Parks Committee are thrilled that the State
has seen the merit in investing in our Village”.
The Michigan Natural
Resources Trust Fund
is providing half of the
$50,000 Phase I development budget for the
installation of accessible
paved paths, landscaping
and hardscaping around the
Civil War obelisk-shaped
monument to emphasize
its importance and prominence, signage to emphasize the stately trees and the
Village’s history, and the
installation of a concrete
pad for a future bus shelter
on the eastern edge of the
park.
The park’s master plan,
adopted in 2015, contains
additional improvements
for which the Village will
continue to apply for grants.
Did you know February
21st-27th is Invasive Species Awareness week? This
means it is time to talk about
the pests ailing our forests.
The Michigan Eyes on the
Forest program is headed by
Michigan State University
Extension. District Foresters
in conservation districts have
jumped on board to encourage
landowners to be proactive in
checking their trees for signs
of invasive pests. Michigan
Eyes on the Forest is focusing
on Asian Longhorn Beetle,
hemlock woolly adelgid and
thousand cankers of black
walnut. By educating and
involving the public the hope
is for early detection and rapid
response to eliminate these and
other invasive pests. The three
aforementioned pests are not
established in Michigan at the
time, but have the potential to
be due to the close proximity
of existing infestations.
Asian Longhorn beetle
attacks many species of
trees- maples, birch, elm,
poplar, and even willow trees
by burrowing into the bark
and laying eggs. The larva
hatches and begins to feed
on the live wood killing the
tree. It can be identified by
a pencil size hole in trunk of
tree, by its larva, or by a very
large black and white beetle.
Hemlock woolly adelgid has
the potential to attack and kill
the over 100 million mature
hemlock trees in Michigan! A
tiny insect, called an adelgid,
feeds on the sap of hemlock
branches releasing a white
wax that gives a “snowy” look
to branches, but this is very
hard to see until a major break
out occurs. The final pest is
thousand cankers disease of
black walnut, a tree which
provides economic, wildlife
and aesthetic value to Michigan’s landscape. Thousand
canker disease is caused by a
twig beetle that introduces a
fungus in the living tissues of
the tree causing cankers that
eventually kill the tree.
Please do your part to keep
your “Eyes on the Forest”, do
not move firewood, clean off
your boots from park to park
and if you have any questions or concerns call Kylee at
(989)539-6401 to schedule a
free site visit to learn more.

Lady Pioneers charge past Hornets, 60-24
by Ben Murphy
It was a close game at
the half but the Clare girls
basketball really turned
things on in the second
half of its home Jack Pine
Conference game with
Harrison on Thursday, Feb.
11. The Lady Pioneers
charged to a 60-24 win on
their home court.
“We did a nice job
rebounding and spreading

Conference girls basketball game.
the ball around,” Clare
head coach Kevin Richards
said. “Also, I was pleased
with our fast break. We had
great team work and communicated well. Going into
the season, we thought that
would be a strength and if
we continue to play unselfish basketball we will win
games.”
Clare led just 9-5 after
the first quarter, though it
managed to pull ahead to
29-19 by the half.
“The game was actually very close with two
minutes to go in the first
half, we were behind by
just three or four points,”
Harrison head coach Carl
Anderson said. “After that
we just couldn’t put anything in the basket. Clare
played really well, I will
give them credit, they are a
very good team.”
Things didn’t get any
better in the second half for
the Lady Hornets either, as
they netted just four points
in the third and one in the
fourth.
“Everybody went
cold in the second half,”
Anderson said. “We took
32 shots but we only
scored five points in the
second half of the game.
It’s the first game I’ve ever
coached where we took
more three point shots than
two point shots and if you
don’t make those, it makes
for an awfully long night.”
For Clare, Ellie Johnson
led the way with 13 points,
five steals and two assists,
Natalee Kunse had 12
points, nine rebounds and
two assists, Lexy Harton
had 10 points, three assists
and two steals and Bailey
Hubel had eight points.
For the Hornets, Aja
Heber had nine points and
Lexi LaChappa had six.
On Tuesday, the Pioneers hosted Beal City in
a non-conference game,
earning a 66-40 win.
“I was very pleased
with how we got out and
pushed the ball,” Richards
said. “We also did a nice
job of attacking the basket
offensively. Defensively I
was happy with our ability

week’s home win over Harrison.
to anticipate passes.”
The Pioneers used a
good offensive attack early
to take a 17-6 lead, then
led 35-11 at the half and
53-25 entering the fourth.
Johnson had another
strong performance with
20 points, five steals and
four assists, Kunse had 18
points, 10 rebounds and
four steals, Harton had
12 points and three steals
and Kayla Junge had six
rebounds, three steals and
two assists.
Clare (9-6 overall, 7-4
JPC) hosted Roscommon
on Thursday and wraps
up the regular season at
home against Farwell next
Thursday.

The Clare County Review - February 19, 2016 - Page 3B
Lady Eagles fall to Comets, 51-24
by Ben Murphy
Clare’s Brandon Zinser (no. 20) and Travis Vida (no. 0)
battle Harrison’s Adam Scherrer for a rebound during last
Friday’s Jack Pine Conference game.
Lockdown defense
spurs Pioneers to win
by Ben Murphy
Clare’s defense was on
lockdown Friday night. It’s
offense did plenty to help
out too. The Pioneers used
that to claim a cross-county win at Harrison Friday
night, 59-40.
“Our defense was great
tonight,” Clare head coach
Rob Wise said of the Jack
Pine Conference win.
“We only let up 25 points
through three quarters. I
hope this is a start to great
things. I feel like we have
a different look in our eye
when we are preparing for
games.”
The Pioneers jumped to
an 18-10 lead after the first
quarter and led 34-14 at
the half and 45-25 entering
the fourth.
Camden Dice led the
way in the win with 14
points, Travis Vida had
eight points, eight rebounds and four assists,
Max Swan had eight points
and Gabe Denton, Tucker
Roe, Colton Petree and
Brenden Sersaw had six
points apiece.
For the Hornets Adam
Scherrer had 16 points,
Cameron Sherrick netted
six and Will Dennis and
Jimmy Gillespie had two
apiece.
Clare is at Roscommon
tonight (Friday), hosts
Evart on Monday and hosts
Meridian next Friday.
Harrison is at Gladwin
tonight (Friday), hosts
Lake City Tuesday in a
make-up game.
If you don’t handle the
other team’s full-court
press, bad things usually
happen. Farwell wasn’t
able to handle visiting Coleman’s pressure
Monday night, leading to a
51-24 non-conference girls
basketball loss.
“We didn’t handle
their press well,” Gordie
Risbridger said. “We made
errors that we have not
been making all year long.
It was senior night as it
was our last game at home.
I think we had some mental lapses as it was a long
day for us with everything
going on.”
The Comets, behind
this year’s breakout player
Liz Dana managed to take
a 19-8 lead after the first
quarter and led 30-19 at the
half. Farwell struggled a
bit more in the second as it
netted just two points and
fell behind 41-21 entering
the fourth.
“We didn’t make good
passes, rebound well, or
break down their pressure with the dribble,”
Risbridger said. “We have
been doing those things
pretty well this year but
not in this game. Coleman
shot the ball well. Dana
was impressive and next
year we will need to give
her more attention on the
defensive end of the floor.”
For the Eagles, Marissa
Gassel had 14 points and
five rebounds, Lilly Albaugh had four points and
seven rebounds and Grace
Farwell boys fall twice
by Ben Murphy
Visiting Vestaburg
flexed its defensive
muscles Tuesday night,
enabling it to hand Farwell
a 47-25 non-conference
boys basketball loss.
“We lost, but we played
exceptional defense,”
Farwell head coach Jason
MacLean said. “Again, our
inability to move the ball
and score was our achilles heel. Vestaburg’s zone
really hampered us as we
were stagnant and forced
too many bad shots.”
While MacLean was
happy with his team’s efforts, he realizes his young
squad still has some room
to grow.
“I was very pleased with
the effort, but when you
have kids that don’t have a
lot of experience playing at
this level, you are already
down seven-to-10 points,”
he said. “Defensively we
kept ourselves in the game
by limiting them to only
one shot per possession,
but credit Vestaburg for
taking advantage of their
second chance points.
Overall, I think we saw
just how far we’ve come
though. I am very pleased
with the kids and their
never quit attitude.”
The Eagles were led by
Austin Tigner with nine
points and seven rebounds
and Jake Riffe had eight
points and six rebounds.
On Friday Farwell
played host to Jack Pine
Conference leading Beaverton, falling 62-21.
“Beaverton executed
extremely well and shut
down our ability to score
with their superior athletic
ability and their relentless pressure on defense,”
MacLean said. “Our kids
battled hard as always, but
when you play against a
well coached team that has
a lot of experience then it
is difficult to get any momentum going in a positive
direction.”
Tigner paced the Eagles
with 10 points and hauled
in seven rebounds.
Farwell (2-14 overall,
0-11 JPC) hosts Meridian
tonight (Friday) and travels
to Vestaburg on Wednesday.
Saupe had four rebounds.
On Thursday, Feb.
11 the Eagles played at
Beaverton and fell to the
second place Jack Pine
Conference team, 35-20.
“I thought we played
decent to start, but once
Beaverton went into their
zone in the first half we
struggled,” Risbridger said.
The Eagles took an
early 6-4 lead but the Lady
Beavers closed the first
quarter on an 8-0 run to
pull ahead 12-6 after the
first eight minutes. Beaverton continued to roll in the
second, outscoring Farwell
13-4 to lead 25-10 at the
break. The Eagles had just
two points in the third,
resulting in a 33-12 deficit
entering the fourth.
“When they switched
into their zone, we couldn’t
score as well,” Risbridger
said. “We did a good job of
not fouling, but could have
played better defense. We
are still working on getting
better position and defense.
Gassel played another
good game on the offensive end but we need to
look to for her even more
in the future.”
Gassel led the way with
six points, six rebounds
and two steals, Saupe had
four points and 10 rebounds and Rio Risbridger
had four points and three
boards.
Farwell (2-10 JPC) was
at Meridian on Thursady
and wraps up the regular
season next Thursday
when it travels to Clare.

The Farwell wrestling team had six wrestlers move on to individual regionals.
Smith, Norbury, McQuiston win districts
By Ben Murphy
Sports Writer
The Farwell wrestling
team was able to wrestle
on its home mats in individual districts on Saturday. The Eagles used that
to their advantage, getting
six wrestlers to move on to
individual regionals.
Brenden Smith (140)
won his weight class and is
now 41-8 on the year, Jus-
tin Norbury (45) was a district champion as well and
is 25-12, Garrett McQuiston (160) is an impressive
38-6 on the year after winning his weight class, Clay
Forfinski (119) lost in the
finals but still makes the
regional trip with a second
place finish and is 20-12
on the year, Austin Sandel
(135) moves on as well
with a second place finish
with a record of 25-17 and
Jay Thrush snuck in with
a fourth place finish and is
now 22-24 on the year.
Nick Wixson (189) won
two matches but couldn’t
quite qualify, Cole Forfinski (112) won one match,
Chandler Skornicka (130)
won his first two matches
but couldn’t win his next
two, Jake Swarthout (160)
won two matches and Archie Burbacnk picked up a
couple wins before his day
ended in the blood round.
On Wednesday the
Eagles battled division
four regional host Pine
River, in a regional semifinal match. The Bucks
topped Farwell 55-14 and
went on to win the regional
championship with a win
over Charlevoix in their
next match.
The division four
individual regionals are
Saturday at Rogers City.
In an uneventful meeting February 9, The Surrey
Township Board set potential times for putting chloride on the township roads
and announced that their
next meeting will be held
one week later on March
15 due to the Presidential
Primary on March 8.
The weeks the board
preferred for the treatment
of the township roads were
the week before Memorial
Day and the week before
Labor Day. Cost for those
times are not discounted
and will be 15.25 cents per
gallon.
County Commissioner Samantha Pitchford
reported on the problems
with the courthouse. “We
are in the process of getting quotes for repairs to
the building,” She said.
Zoning Administrator
Rod Williams also reported a quiet month with
all court cases worked on.
Not so for Fire Chief
Dave Williams, who reported 66 calls to the Fire
Department in January.
Forty-six were medical
calls in Surrey Township
and 2 were medical calls
in Gilmore Township. The
department assisted Clare
Fire Department once during January, Williams said.
He also reported engine
problems with one of the
trucks, which can still be
used and the installation
of radios and lights in the
new grass rig.
Other business included:
*Approval to purchase
filled plastic eggs for the
March 26 Easter Eggstravaganza.
*Approval of a resolution to Burnham and
Flower for the contribution
to the insurance group’s
retirement plan.
*Approval of a rate
increase for Deputy Clerk/
Treasurer Joan Farwell
from $10.20 to $12.00
per hour. She will also be
working at Garfield Township beginning next month.
*Approval was given to
add Kevin McDavitt to the
Planning Commission and
Tom Gajda to the Zoning
Board of Appeals.
*Bills totaling
$42,246.01 were also approved.

the Governor is proposing a “2X formula for
the foundation allowance

increase of $60 to $120
per pupil. They reported

By Rosemary Horvath
Correspondent
Grant Township Supervisor Dan Dysinger is
known for making a point
succinctly. And there was
no beating around the bush

affects every local government unit,” because
the bill will “correct an
illegal piece of Legislation
enacted in 2013.”
He referred to legislation that offers qualifying
veterans an exemption on
property taxes.
“That’s between a
$33,000 and $35,000 loss
to the county alone,” he
said.
For now, the law in
its third year, hasn’t had
a major impact on Grant
Township. But if the law is
allowed to continue, there
will be an accumulative
impact for Grant and a loss
of hundreds of thousands
of dollars for the county,
he said.
He said the original legislation violates Article 9,
Section 29 of the Michigan
Constitution the state constitution, which reads:
The state is hereby
prohibited from reducing
the state financed proportion of the necessary costs
of any existing activity or
service required of units
of Local Government by
state law. A new activity
or service or an increase
in the level of any activity or service beyond that
required by existing law
shall not be required by
the legislature or any state
agency of units of Local
Government, unless a state
appropriation is made and
disbursed to pay the unit
of Local Government for
any necessary increased
costs. The provision of this
section shall not apply to
costs incurred pursuant to
Article VI, Section 18.
“I’m here to help you
put money back into
county coffers and make
the state take responsibility.”
Dysinger said the tax
exemption is another
example of state lawmakers enacting laws without
regard to the impact on
local government.
The pending legislation
has been referred to the
House Tax Policy Committee. Dysinger suggested
contacting 97th District
Rep. Joel Johnson R-Clare
and Rep. Jeff Farrington,
chair of the House committee, to voice support.
County Administrator
Tracy Byard was directed
to send emails on behalf of
the county supporting H.B.
5169.
It doesn’t take much to
throw darts at state govern-
ment. Byard and County
Clerk/Register of Deeds
Pam Mayfield criticized
amendments passed in
2015 that makes the
Freedom of Information
Act cumbersome for local
officials.
Dysinger agreed and
pointed out the FOIA
changes also violate Section 29.
“They are terrible,”
60 participate in Daddy Daughter Dance
Larson Elementary PTO held their first “Daddy Daughter Dance” for Valentine’s Day. Sixty young girls brought their Daddies to school for an evening of music, dancing, appetizers, desserts and socialization.

Byard said of the new
rules. She advised commissioners click on the FOIA
link on the county website
to view all the forms that
are now required.
Mayfield talked about
a FOIA request that seeks
copies of documents dating back to 2002. How to
ascertain the cost will be
monumental.
Having to estimate labor
costs incurred means, “All
labor costs will be estimated and charged in 15-minute increments, with all
partial time increments
rounded down. If the time
involved is less than 15
minutes, there will be no
charge.”
Hayes Township Terry
Acton said his township
has received a “massive FOIA request that is
designed to overwhelm our
office.”
Commissioners had
quick support for a resolution adopted by the Huron
County Board of Commissioners that urged “state
lawmakers and top officials
to stop the hypocrisy of exempting themselves from
the laws that they enact for
the governance of the State
of Michigan.”
The governor and state
lawmakers are exempted
from FOIA. It’s Tax Time At
