Lincoln Twp. standoff ends with suicide
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
When Clare County
Sheriff’s Deputies and
a Michigan State Police
Trooper entered a Jefferson Road address with a
warrant to arrest a suspect
there, they were surprised
with shots fired at them
from the residence.
Deputies and the
Trooper immediately
retreated from the home
in the 2200 block of West
Jefferson in Lincoln Township, according to a release
from Undersheriff Dwayne
Miedzianowski.
They were not injured
and Deputies returned
fire at the suspect, now
identified as Ronald James
Couch of Harrison.
Although Couch, who
lived at the residence, was
not named on the warrant, Miedzianowski said
Thursday that officers
discovered Couch also had
a warrant for non-support

from the Friend of the
Court offices. “We don’t
know why he [Couch]
reacted the way he did,”
the Undersheriff said.
Shortly after the exchange of gunfire, another
shot was reportedly heard
inside the residence.

the scene and attempted
to negotiate with Couch,
unsuccessfully, for his surrender.
After an hours-long
standoff, with no more
activity noted inside, officers entered and found the
32-year-old Harrison man
deceased inside the home.
The release said Couch
died from a self-inflicted
gunshot wound according
to what the preliminary
investigation showed. His
body was found in a bedroom in the home, police
said.
The investigation of the
incident on West Jefferson
was turned over to the
Michigan State Police and
a police crime lab team
was called in to collect
evidence.
Investigators were on
the scene until after 4 a.m.
Saturday morning.
Assisting at the scene
besides the MSP Crime
Lab and MSP Emergency
Services Team were officers from the Clare City
Police, and officials from
Lincoln Township Fire
Department, Mobile Medical Response Ambulance
Service, Lifenet, and Clare
County Animal Control.
According to a Wednesday update from Sheriff
John Wilson, Officers had
gone to the address seeking another man, Richard
Hunter Thompson, 26 of
Harrison.
Although he wasn’t
at the Lincoln Township
home that day, he was
arrested Tuesday, May 10
at a residence on Groda in
Hayes Township after officers received a tip that he
was there.
Thompson was arrested
on an absconder warrant
for violating his parole
and on charges of burglary
and drug offenses by Clare
County Deputies, officials
from the Department of
Corrections and Michigan
State Police Troopers.
Bigford trial back on again Family, neighbors try to
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
They say the third
time is the charm, which
seems to be the case in the
Bigford murder trial that is
finally ongoing in Isabella
County.
The trial of Mary Lou
Bigford, charged with the
April 15, 2015 murder of
Lawrence Howard Jr., the
father of her granddaughter, has been waylaid twice
before when Judge Paul
Chamberlain declared a
mistrial.
The first attempt at
Bigford’s trial began in
January.
January 15th, after four
days of jury selection, and
during Prosecutor Risa
Hunt-Scully’s opening
statement about lab results
matching bullet fragments
found in Howard’s body
matching a bullet in Bigford’s vehicle, Judge Paul
Chamberlain of Isabella
County declared a mistrial
because Bigford’s attorney
Sara Spencer-Noggle objected saying she had only
received the results a few
days before.
Chamberlain, declared a
mistrial saying he was upset that the defense had not
filed a motion on January
8 when the results were
received, which would
have allowed the trial to be
postponed while the test
results were analyzed. He
also voiced concern over
some questions asked by
the prosecutor during jury
selection.

Son runs over father
then dies in getaway car
By Rosemary Horvath
Correspondent
A secluded private
Marion Township wooded
subdivision hugging the
north shore of the Middle
Branch River fell into a
sea of sadness last Friday
when a seemingly mentally disturbed son attacked
and killed his father.
Thomas Alger, 48, then
drove wildly onto M-66,
sped south through a stop
sign at the busy intersection of M-115 and collided
with a minivan, driven by
a mother traveling with her
two teenage sons.
Alger, who had no
driver’s license, died at
the crash scene. His father,
David Alger, 81, died at
the family residence, 2689
Arbak Lane.
The family of three who
were hospitalized reportedly have since returned to
their Boon Township home
in Wexford County, with
no serious injuries.
Autopsies on bodies of
the father and son were
conducted Monday. Cause
of death for both presumably was head trauma.
However, an official report
from a pathologist won’t
be known for weeks,
according to Detective
Sgt. Jeff Hunger, of the
Michigan State Police Post
in Mt. Pleasant.
On May 6 Meceola
Central Dispatch Center
dispatched troopers to
the Arbak Lane home at
around 6:46 p.m. to investigate a domestic assault.
Neighbors then reported
to dispatch that the suspect
had repeatedly run over
the victim with his vehicle
and attempted to run over
at least one witness who
wanted to assist the victim.
Hunger said several
people had witnessed the
altercation at the residence.
Investigators are continuing to piece together
details leading up to the
homicide. “We need to
make sure why certain
events happened,” Hunger
said.
Meanwhile, the Alger
family and the Arbak Lane
neighbors are coping with
the loss and trauma.
“I love them both. They
are in a better place. That
is a blessing for me,” expressed David M. Alger,
speaking about his brother
and father outside the
Arbak Lane residence.
David M. who is the
oldest son of David W. and
Mary Alger, along with
friend Tamara, were in the
process of shuttering the
residence.
Besides their mother,
other survivors of David
and Thomas include another brother and two sisters.
None live in the area.
John Robert Alger, another brother, passed away
July 2015 in Florida. He
had been a Naval officer.
After retirement, he became a police officer then
later a sheriff’s deputy in
Florida. A funeral mass
had been held for John at
St. Agnes Catholic Church
in Marion, officiates by the
Rev. Joe Fix.
The Alger parents had
been members of the St.
Agnes parish since 1986.
David Alger
Thomas Alger
The family has arranged
to have a funeral mass 11
a.m. Monday, May 16 at
the St. Agnes church in
memory of both David and
Thomas. Visitation begins
at 10 a.m. with a luncheon
following the mass.
Father Joe said David
and Mary have been dedicated parishioners. “They
were very quiet people
with a deep faith. They
stayed in the background.
They cared about people.
David liked to tinker and
fix things.”
The Marion parish
and its sister church in
Evart have a strong social
outreach program. Father

Joe acknowledged support from the Algers for
the Haitian program and
Habitat for Humanity.
“And they cared for
their children,” he said.
Thomas Alger had not
attended church. He mostly
stayed within the confines
of the one-lane subdivision
and was known to ride a
3-wheel back a few miles
into town. He lived in a log
cabin in the woods across
the road from his parents.
Speculation abounds
that Thomas had stopped
taking prescribed medication during the time his
parents were away the last
few weeks. Sources say the
mother underwent surgery
outside the area and that
the father traveled back
and forth between visits.
Spokesmen for both the
Osceola County Sheriff’s
Department and Michigan State Police confirm
Thomas Alger had been
involved with both agencies on prior occasions.
Undersheriff Justin
Halladay added that Alger
had been held at the jail
facility. MSP Detective
Sgt. Hunger declined to
give details of any incident
other than to say there had
been contact.
Thomas Alger, who
stood above six feet, has
been described as showing
erratic behavior on occasion.
He once appeared
bloodied at the door of
Shannon Carmody, who
he told he had cut himself
with a razor. One other
time he had operated his
father’s backhoe and dug
up a culvert on the Carmody property, knocking out
phone and Internet services
and electricity.
Carmody said the closeknit group of neighbors are
hard-pressed to understand what caused this
recent tragic event. Many
speculate Thomas had
ceased taking medication,
although this hasn’t been
substantiated.
Carmody said a neighbor last Friday saw Tom
beating his dog with a
shovel and his father tried
to stop him. Tom pushed
his father down and
jumped into the vehicle
and ran over his father
multiple times.
When a neighbor tried
to intervene, that person
came close to being hit by
the truck.
“It doesn’t make
sense,” Carmody said.
“Tom loved that dog and
the dog went everywhere
with him. Tom and David
would drive the pickup
down the lane for the mail
with the dog in the back.
Something must have
made him snap.”
David and Tamara have
been caring for the dog.
State police cars and
crime lab trucks swarmed
the usually quiet Arbak
Lane Friday. Traffic on
M-115 had been rerouted
around the accident scene
where a medical helicopter transported one of the
crash victims to a Grand
Rapids medical center.
The other two were
treated in Cadillac.

Tuesday as to the exact
width of the right of way

Concerns raised in a letter from township resident
Kathy Jankowski last month
about the Zoning Administrator Rod Williams were
resolved at Tuesday night’s
meeting, when the board
provided a written response
to her letter.
In her letter, Jankowski
said she had raised concerns
with Williams about boats
stored near Farwell Motorsports. She said she had
made a verbal complaint
in September and written a
letter to the board and Williams on October 13 about
the matter. “This has to do
with Zoning,” she wrote.
“A business that thinks they
can park boats on residential property. This has gone
on since September, 2015.
Nothing is still solved.”
She also said lawn signs
have been on Ludington
Drive have been there since
September, saying, “It
seems that Rod Williams
might have too much on his
plate and can’t do or won’t
do his job according …to
zoning and ordinances.”
Answers included:
“A verbal complaint is
considered a concern of that
person only and handled as
FYI.
*A signed written complaint is handled as follows:
investigate the complaint;
write a letter; wait up to ten
days; if there is progress,
monitor; if no progress,
send second letter; look
for progress; if no progress
issue a ticket; if no results,
file report with District
Court; and follow court
process.
Supervisor Russ Hamilton also told Jankowski
that, “If during any meeting
someone sitting on a board
is the person with a concern, that person should first
excuse themselves from the
board, become a member
of the audience, [and] then
register their concern to the
board or Zoning Administrator.”
They continued: “Your

Grant Twp residents split on road millage proposal
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
A small, but vocal audience was present at the
Grant Township meeting
Tuesday evening to voice
their opinion on whether
the Township should go
back to the voters asking
for millage to fix their
deteriorating roads.
The township board
had invited their residents
to come to the meeting
to discuss the matter.
Twenty-three were present in the audience.
Merle Harmon, who
has been working with the
Five Lakes Association,
said the group “will hold
back on a special assessment district” to fix their
subdivision roads “until
the board decides if it will
move forward to add a
ballot proposal in November” and until a vote, if
one is taken, determines
whether residents will
support a millage.
Supervisor Dan Dysinger had outlined three
options: To do nothing
and continue with small
road projects every other
year; to place a 1.2 mill
proposal for ten years
on the ballot, which
would raise an additional
$115,920 each year for
road maintenance but
not enough to include
improvements in subdivisions; or to put a two-mill
ten-year proposal on the
ballot, which would raise
about $193,200 each year
and allow improvements
for all township residents.
Harmon said, “I support a two-mill proposal
on the ballot. It will cost
more than a special
assessment would but
would benefit everybody
in the township.”
Marty and Earl Covell
had a different opinion.
“I didn’t get a pay raise
(on Social Security) this
year. In fact they probably
won’t give one next year
either. I just can’t afford any more taxes, I’m
sorry.”
Don Dysinger said
his frustration is with
Lansing. “For the last ten
years we haven’t got any
road repair. Are we just
paying the gas taxes for
wages and benefits and
nothing for roads? Now
the State is forcing townships to pay to fix their
own roads. I am totally
against the township being
in the business of doing
roads.”
Supervisor Dan Dys-
inger said the County
Commission Engineer
Deepak Gupta has agreed
to come to the next township meeting and give a
Power Point presentation on how the roads are
funded. “We have until
August to make this decision,” he said.
Steve Cohoon of the
Five Lakes Association
said, “Part of the reason I
like the two-mill proposal
is because it [the funds]
stays here in the township.
We have roads that are
coming apart. If we don’t
do something, we’re going
to lose our roads.”
Ralph Greenfield, also
with the Five Lakes board,
Banjo Jim and Bear of the Blue Water Ramblers
said, “If we don’t fix our
roads now, five years from
now it will cost two or
three times as much. If we
fix our roads it’s going to
enhance the whole community. The Five Lakes
board is in unanimous
agreement that we need to
have something done with
our roads.”

Richard Harrell said,
“I live on Grant south of
Rock Road. I see a lot of
18 wheelers that go down
Colonville and Grant.”
Dysinger noted that
both roads are on the “Red
List,” of roads that are the
worst in the township.
Nancy Grover said, “No
one wants to pay more
taxes, but that’s what has
gotten us into this situation. You have to have
services and services cost
money. I support it.”
Dysinger said he has
plans to continue as
Township Supervisor, but
added, “If we don’t do
something now, I probably
won’t want to be supervisor anymore. Everyone
thinks their road should be
fixed first.
Another audience member, Bill, said, “All I want
to say is I’m opposed to it
[a millage].”
After more discussion
by the board members, the
consensus was to wait to
make a decision until after
Gupta makes the presentation at the next meeting,
and the vote was unanimous to table the matter
until then.
In other business at
Tuesday’s meeting, the
board:
*was notified that road
brining dates will be June
7th and July 26th;
*heard from County
Commissioner Leonard
Strouse that the County
MERS account is in arrears by approximately $5
million. “This means we
will have to make some
drastic decisions,” he said.
“It’s a huge problem.
*heard a brief review
of the Urban Cooperation
Agreement, which stipulates that Grant Township
receives a portion of the
City taxes collected on the
property which has transferred from the township
to the City – “up to three
mills,” Dysinger said.
*approved an upgrade,
and an additional $1,500
for a floor scrubber, with
the return of one recently
purchased for $4,400.
*Approved the payment of bills totaling
$11,656.18.

Townsend blog relates “wasted funds” on marijuana arrests
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Dr. Robert Townsend,
an advocate for the legalization of marijuana use in
Michigan, recently posted
a blog on the costs of
prosecuting “simple marijuana possession charges.”
He used a source article
for the number of arrests,
“which have increased despite surveys that indicate
a majority of Michigan
residents support legalizing ‘pot’,” according to
the article on MLive last
November.
The MLive article said,
“Between 2008 and 2014,
arrests for marijuana possession or use went up 17
percent statewide [according to data from the
Michigan State Police],
while arrests for all crimes
dropped by 15 percent.”
“While we imagine the
War of Drugs being fought
against heroin, meth, and
prescription drug abuse,
the numbers tell a very
different story,” Townsend
wrote.
Based on estimates
from attorneys that defend
these kinds of clients,
Townsend said legal
defense estimated costs
in 2014 in the 97th District range from $124,250
in Arenac County to
$171,500 in Gladwin
County. The estimated
defense costs in Clare
County were $126,000
and in Osceola County
they were estimated at
$133,000 for the year.
“I spoke with an attorney friend of mine that
does marijuana defense
work,” he said. In a simple
case “(no real penalty
and charges dropped after
a year and record expunged), the legal fees to
defend are about $1,500.
If a case goes to trial, it
starts at $2,000 to $3,500
and goes up.”
He continued, “The cost
to the residents of the 97th
District to defend against
these uncomplicated and
relatively uncontested
cases is $554,750. Sufficient to say without these
prosecutions, residents
of 97th would have over
one-half million in their
pockets.”
“But the cost does not
stop there,” he said. “The
prosecutors have to spend
money, so do the courts,
police, probation departments, drug counselors
– some of this comes out
of county funds and some
from the defendants. This
brings the cost to around
$1,000,000 to the 97th
District.”
None of that includes
the loss in interrupted
education, lost productivity at work, decreased job
potential and ineligibility
for military service.
“Increase this to all
of Michigan,” he wrote,
Dr. Robert Townsend
“We are talking around
$64,000,000 in cost associated with simple possession of marijuana.”
“That represents around
1,850 miles of road repair
– per year,” he said.
He also noted that
law enforcement also
took 22,000,000 in civil
forfeiture from Michigan
residents, “in many cases
without convictions or
even charges.”
Townsend concluded,
“Notwithstanding the 61
percent support of outright
legalization and the 80
percent support of ‘medical marijuana’ and the fact
that there are two petitions
circulating to put the issue
on the ballot this November, we should have
a discussion about our
priorities. Do we fix roads,
or do we continue to
prosecute simple possession as a criminal offense.
My vote will be to let the
police concentrate their
efforts on crime, to reserve
jail for actual criminals;
and to stop the hemorrhage of money productivity and personal potential
that prosecution of simple
possession entails.”
From the MLive article written last October:
“Since 2011, 21 Michigan cities have voted on
legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana.” Of those
“initiatives to decriminalize marijuana have been
approved in 15 communities and voted down in
six [including Clare and
Harrison].”
Dr. Townsend is currently a Democratic candidate in the August primary
for the 97th District slot in
November.
He is a practicing physician in Internal Medicine, and owner of Denali
Healthcare of Michigan,
PLLC, a pain and addiction management clinic
with multiple locations
throughout Michigan.

Phi Theta Kappa held their Annual Convention, Nerd Nation in Washington D.C. More
than 3,800 people and over 500 of the society’s 1,285 chapters were gathered there.
MMCC hosted 60 business owners
Phi Theta Kappa, Honor
Society of two-year colleges, recently held their
Annual Convention, Nerd
Nation, in Washington
DC. More than 3,800
people and over 500 of the
Society’s 1,285 chapters
gathered to celebrate
the mission of Phi theta
Kappa, which is to recognize and encourage the
academic achievement of
two-year college students
and provide opportunities for individual growth
and development through
participation in honors,
leadership, service, and
fellowship programming.
Mid Michigan Community College’s (MMCC’s)
chapter, Alpha Omicron
Omicron (AOO), was
among those in attendance.
“From amazing sights
to large crowds of nerds,
Nerd Nation was something to behold,” says Josh
Kiger, AOO member. “We
were able to learn new
strategies through educational sessions that we
will be able to pass onto
the future leaders of our
chapter.”
Conference speakers included Dr. Paul G.
Stoltz, Director of the
Global Resilience and
GRIT Institutes, Katy Kay,
BBC World News, and
Lord John Eatwell, President of Queens’ College
Cambridge, among others.
Representing a wide range
of experiences in global
relations and politics, human rights, and diversity
affairs, these speakers inspired conference attendees
to understand and embrace
their world in order to enact meaningful change.
“NerdNation was so
much greater than just a
simple convention, it was
a gathering place for future
leaders to make connections, improve their soft
skills, and have fun,” says
AOO member Abby Averill. “I will never forget the
experience and I imagine that next year, AOO
will again be one of the
chapters that gets called on
stage to receive awards.” At the Annual Convention, Phi Theta Kappa
recognizes outstanding
achievements with the
presentation of Hallmark
Awards. Mid Michigan
Community College’s
chapter, Alpha Omicron
Omicron, was recognized
as one of the top 100 chapters in the nation. Tammy
Alvaro, MMCC’s Chapter
Advisor, was recognized
as one of 15 most distinguished advisors. “The best moment for
me occurred outside of
the convention’s programming,” notes Alvaro, AOO
Chapter Advisor. “It happened at dinner—when the
students determined that,
regardless of whether they
received formal recognition or not, they were
proud of their work and
having always supported
one another toward their
goals. It’s wonderful to
get awards, sure, but it’s

Bits & Pieces
Pat Maurer, Review Correspondent
Keys, a magnet and
a manhole
For a former athlete I
can be pretty clumsy at
times. I blame it on my
lefthandedness (is that a
word?), but in reality if
there is a stair to trip on,
or wall to run in to, I’m
usually the one to make it
happen.
It reminds me of the
time, not too long ago,
when I was walking in
a hurry in Hamtramck,
Michigan. I owned the
weekly newspaper there,
and was familiar with the
ethnic enclave, and always
walked or jogged to the
bank, post office or convenience store.
This one day I was hustling back to the office. I
had parked my car a block
down the road, and had car
keys in hand when all of
sudden they left my hand
and fell to the ground. I
take that back, they did not
stop at the roadway, but instead landed at the bottom
of a manhole. As we know
nowadays most manhole
covers are solid. But this
particular cover had steel
grates leaving a couple
inch openings across the
top. Just my luck.
That’s right. The keys
to my vehicles, my house,
my office and who knows
what else were now ten
feet deep at the bottom of a
sewer hole. I was in panic
mode, not knowing quite
how to handle this dilemma. I pulled the heavy
(man you don’t know how
heavy these things are until
you try to lift one) manhole cover off the hole.
I started to climb done
when I noticed a puddle of
water at the bottom. This
was not going to work. No
way was I going to go to
the bottom and fish around
sewage or rainwater, or
whatever it was. Besides I
wasn’t sure if I got to the
bottom whether I could
climb back out. And then
there was the critter factor.
Who knows what type of
vermin was down there.
Hamtramck is famous for
their rats, and they grow
them big in that town.
There I was with no
solution. Think you idiot,
I said to myself. I called
my son, who was nine or
thereabouts at the time, I
asked, “any solutions.” We
thought together long and
hard, and he said, “Why
don’t you go to the nearest
hardware and buy the biggest magnet you can find?”
Hmmm, I was doubtful that his suggestion
would work, but I had to
try something. So I bought
a magnet. It was probably
four inches in diameter- a
big sucker as far as magnets go. I also bought some
twine and tied the magnet
to the end of the piece of
twine.
I fished the magnet
slowly down the manhole.
The keys could not be seen
from my vantage point and
there seemed to be a lot of
Still a bit cool, but summer
is definitely coming
debris at the bottom of the
hole. I wiggled the twine
around and felt something.
I pulled it up. No keys,
unfortunately, but a nickel
and a quarter.
I was thinking positive. If I could latch on to
change, maybe the magnet
would grip on to the keys.
I lowered the magnet again
and moved it around the
bottom of the manhole. I
pulled it up a second time.
Still no keys. The optimism turned to frustration.
It was beginning to rain
and I could see a thunder
show was approaching.
I gave it one more time.
I lowered the magnet
again, and moved around
the bottom of the manhole.
I could feel that something
had attached itself to the
magnet. I slowly pulled it
up, and lo and behold it
was my set of keys. My
determination had prevailed. I was feeling pretty
good at that point.
But believe me, whenever approaching a manhole these days, I am extra
careful to walk around it. I
guess you can say I learned
my lesson well.
News from your Sheriff
in Hayes, and 1 each in
Garfield, Freeman, Greenwood, Grant, Hamilton,
and Farwell.
The week of May 15th
is National Law Enforcement Memorial Week
across the United States.
We will be honoring and
remembering all those who
gave the ultimate sacrifice
in the name of protecting
our citizens of this great
country. We here at the
Clare County Sheriff’s Office will be remembering
Deputy Kevin Sherwood
who was killed in the line
of duty on October 9,
2003. There is a permanent plague placed on the
front of our building in
remembrance of him. If
you have the opportunity
please thank a peace officer during this week for
his or her service to this
country.
On May 25, 2016
at 1:00 pm, we will be
celebrating the opening of the Clare County
Veterans Freedom Park
located across from the
Clare County Court House.
M61 (Main Street) will be
closed between Fifth Street
and Second during this
ceremony. If you plan on
attending please get there
early in order to get people
properly seated. This is
a huge event for Clare
County and the veterans
who are remembered at the
park. A lot of dedicated
people worked hard on
making this memorial park
become a dream come
true. I want to personally
thank Renee Haley for
working countless unpaid
hours to make this happen. Renee is a Gulf War
Veteran and is currently
serving as the Director of
Veteran Services for Clare
County and is the President
of the Veterans Freedom
Park Committee.
I want to thank the
Reserve and Mounted
volunteers from our Office.
Both have put in an enormous amount of volunteer
hours these past couple
of weeks helping out the
county.
Like Always, God Bless
Sheriff John S. Wilson
Dear Editor:
We are expressing our
feelings as parents of
Josiah. We are his biggest
supporters and we will
advocate for him because
no one else will.
Spring 2015 Josiah signed
up for classes for his senior
year. He had been working toward earning all the
classes at Mid Michigan
Community College to satisfy the Michigan Transfer
Agreement with Michigan
State University, so all his
hard work at Mid would
transfer to State. Josiah
needed to take an English
111 at Mid to satisfy the
agreement. He also needed
to take English to complete
his requirement for graduation. We encouraged him
to take the class at Mid and
count the class as a high
school credit also. We
knew the grade he received
in English 111 would be
part of his GPA at Clare
High School. The fall semester ended
in December and Josiah
through very hard work received a B. We all knew he
would no longer have a 4.0
in December. On February
26, 2016 we received an
e-mail from Mrs. Fedewa
telling us Josiah indeed
was one of the valedictorians. We were all so exited. Josiah was extremely proud
and overjoyed. His high
schools teachers and friends
congratulated him. We
assumed he and his two
other valedictorians shared
the highest GPA. Now this
brings us to the more recent
events.
On April 21, 2016 we
heard from Josiah that
Mr. Hubel spoke with him
informing him he no longer
would be considered a
valedictorian because on
April 20, 2016 his grade
from December was finally
inputted into power school. Clare High School had the
grade available to them on
February 26, 2016 when the
announcement was made.
This was 60 days after we
heard he was valedictorian
and over 90 days since the
grade from Mid was final. We met with Mr. Hubel
on April 21, 2016 and then
Mr. Fillmore on April 22,
2016 to discuss the situation. Of course as parents
we expressed how upset
this mistake has made us. However Josiah is our main
concern, he is devastated
and humiliated because of
the mistake that was made. We have been planning
graduation parties with
emphasize of him being
valedictorian. We understand mistakes happen. We
understand Josiah is no
longer valedictorian. We only asked Mr.
Goldie J. Wood, MSA,
CAC, CPC, has been active in the substance abuse
field for over thirty years,
focusing on adolescent
counseling, substance
abuse prevention, and
coalition building in Bay
County and the state of
Michigan.
Questioning RESD contracts
Parents who host, lose the most
health symptoms and ultimately create a whole new
batch of problems for the
patient while also increasing
the severity of the original
mental health symptom or
symptoms.
Often, certain drugs can
create problems that trigger
mental health symptoms.
In other cases, substances
can create mental health
symptoms like paranoia, delusions or depression while
the person is under the
influence of the drug. When
these symptoms last after
the drugs wear off, then it
can indicate a co-occurring
mental health disorder.
Some examples include:
Chronic drug and alcohol
abuse increases the chances
of becoming a victim of
assault or rape. These traumatic events can create serious mental health issues like
PTSD, depression, eating
disorders and more. Poor
decision-making is common under the influence,
and patients may break the
law or make other choices
that cause them to struggle
with anxiety in addition to
drug addiction. Unprotected
sex or sharing needles with
people infected with HIV or
him out.”
What changed? You
“become” 21; you “turn”
30; then you are “pushing” 40. You “reach” 50;
then you “make it” to 60.
By then you have built
up so much speed that you
“hit” 70!
After that it is a dayto-day thing. You “hit”
Wednesday.
When you get into your
80s you “hit” lunch, you
“hit” 4:30. There’s one
Grandma who won’t even
buy green bananas. Well, it
is an investment you know,
and maybe a bad one…
And it doesn’t end
there…into the 90s you
start going backwards. “I
was “just” 92.
Then if a strange thing
happens and you make it
over 100, you become like
a little kid again. “I’m 100
and a half.”
That’s all there was of
that great old column for
me to peruse, although
there was more on the
interesting facets of aging
that didn’t survive from
2000 in my file.
Now that I have “hit”
70, I guess that I still have
a lot to look forward to.
Thanks Bill, wherever
you are…
Parents upset, son no longer Valedictorian
By Goldie Wood, Prevention & Outreach Manager, Ten 16 Recovery Network
There’s clearly a connection between substance
abuse and mental health
disorders, and any number of combinations can
develop, each with its own
set of unique causes and
symptoms.
By far the most common
issue connecting mental
illness and substance abuse
is the intention of patients to
medicate the mental health
symptoms that they find
disruptive or uncomfortable
by using alcohol and drugs.
Some examples include:
The depressed patient who
uses marijuana to numb the
pain. The patient suffering
from social anxiety who
drinks to feel more comfortable in social situations.
The patient who struggles
with panic attacks and takes
benzodiazepines like Xanax
or Valium in order to calm
the symptoms or stop the
attacks before they start,
the patient with low energy
and lack of motivation who
takes Adderall, cocaine or
crystal meth to increase
their drive to get things
done.
Unfortunately, drugs and
alcohol often do little to address the underlying mental
with ants that think they
can come in here anytime
they want. I’m trying to
discourage them with
spray…
Today I was looking
through some old issues of
the review when columnist
Bill Ferrell could come up
with the neatest columns. I
found one that I would like
to share with you about aging, since I recently arrived
at the ripe old age of 70.
It is titled
How old are you…
Do you realize that the
only time in our lives when
we like to get old is when
we’re kids?
If you are less than ten
years old, you are so excited about aging that you
think in fractions.
“How old are you?”
Answer: “I’m four and a
half.”
You are never 36 and a
half, but when you’re four,
you are four and a half going on five.
When you get into your
teens no one can hold you
back. You jump to the next
number (or a few more).
“I’m gonna be 16.” You
could be 12, but you’re going to be 16 – eventually.
Then the great day
of your life arrives. You
become 21. Even the words
sound like a ceremony.
YOU BECOME 21!
Then before you know it
you “turn” 30. What happened there? Makes you
sound like bad milk. “He
turned, so we had to throw
Letters
John Wilson, Clare County Sheriff
Wow, what a month
we have had here in Clare
County. First and foremost, I want to thank God
that none of the Deputies
or Michigan State Troopers were injured in any
way with the incident
that occurred in Lincoln
Township this past Friday.
While executing a search
warrant at a residence in
Lincoln Township, two of
your Deputy Sheriffs were
shot at with a long gun.
One of them was able to
return fire while retreating
from the residence. It’s
truly amazing that neither one was hit. I want
to thank J&D Market for
providing food and water
to all of the Officers working that evening. We are
also currently investigating
a murder case where a deceased body was recovered
behind a residence south of
Farwell. Two people are
currently lodged in our jail
on open murder charges.
During the month of
April 2016, the Clare
County Central Dispatch
received 3,349 incidents,
of those your Deputies
handled 2,346. There were
9 Home Invasion/Breaking
and Entering’s investigated in April 2016. 3 were
I have been outside
several times this week,
just sitting in the sun and
ignoring my work for a
little bit. Don’t you just
love it when May arrives
and you can do that?
It’s still cool most days
out there but great when
the sun shines like it is this
afternoon. Unfortunately
it is deadline day and I’ve
got way too much to finish
to really enjoy it. Hopefully the weekend will arrive with more of the same,
although my pessimist
hubby is telling me it is going to get COLD again.
I hope we don’t have
any more freezes because
my lilacs are getting ready
to bloom in the next few
days – I hope. The magnolia tree is just about
finished and most of the
petals are on the ground,
but we sure did enjoy them
this year.
In town the flowering
trees are all in blossom,
but mine are always a little
behind, so I still have those
to look forward to.
Jack, who was grousing that he might have to
have the lawn cut for hay,
finally mowed some of it
last Sunday afternoon. I
have to say it really looks
beautiful, but I miss the
loads of wild violets that
were all over the place.
(He did leave a few spots
for me to enjoy).
With the arrival of nice
weather, the bugs are back
and we have been fighting
hepatitis C can lead to the
contraction of the disease,
which in turn can mean a
struggle with depression and
grief over the life-changing
consequences. Depression is
a common effect of certain
drugs like crystal meth and
alcohol as they begin to
wear off, and it’s a symptom that can deepen into a
disorder over time.
When there is a Dual
Diagnosis of both a mental
health disorder and a
substance abuse issue, it is
important that the patient
enroll in a treatment program that addresses both
problems at the same time.
Why? The untreated symptoms of a mental health disorder can cause the patient
to be unable to remain clean
and sober, and untreated
substance abuse issues can
make mental health treatment ineffective.
If someone you love is
living with a Dual Diagnosis, don’t wait to get them
the help they need. Seek appropriate treatment for them
as soon as possible.

Dear Editor
Maybe you should look
into this.
Sheryl, can you explain
why the RESD board would
not bid out a new contract
for cleaning at the new Magnus center and just award it

This newspaper is not responsible for mistakes in
advertising beyond the cost of the space involved.
Hubel and Mr. Fillmore
for two things: a letter
to be put into Josiah file
incase scholarships would
be questioned because
the signed transcript he
submitted from Mrs.
Fedewa still showed him
at a 4.0 and first in his
class. Our other request
was for him to still give a
speech at graduation not
as a valedictorian, perhaps
as President of NHS. We
were declined the speech. Mr. Hubel and Mr.
Fillmore both acknowledge
the mistake. However,
Clare Public School acknowledges their mistake
but does not want to take
responsibility on the
emotional stress added to
Josiah. He is a wonderful young man and has so
many achievements to be
proud of. Achievements
he earned outside of school
programs but he still
acknowledge Clare High
School. He has brought
recognition to his school
to make them proud of
him. Now we feel the
school no longer sees him
as a high achiever. This
was a terrible mistake
but consequences are still
needed. The righting of
this mistake would be
to allow Josiah to give a
speech at graduation. I
encourage you to take
some time to think about
our son’s feelings and what
was done to him and how
Clare School District can
right this wrong for Josiah.

by you that the board is reviewing a cleaning contract
that’s up for rebids in the
amount over $250.000.00
at the board meeting on
5/16/15 and your intent is
not to rebid this contract.
Can you explain why our
board would not rebid this
when you had other contractors out bid them last time ,
include us, a local Business
owner who could save the
community a great deal of
money.
After all the intent to bid
out this services was to Save
as much money as we could.
Could you also tell us,
is this a standard practice
of the board to do these
contracts?
You also have stated that
the board’s had no polices
in place that says they don’t
have to bid any work out if
they choice to not do so, is
this correct?

Harrison petty officer keeps Navy Wing flying
A 2004 Harrison High
School graduate and
Harrison native is serving in
the U.S. Navy aboard Naval
Air Station Jacksonville,
the largest base in the
Southeast Region and third
largest in the nation.
Petty Officer 1st Class
Alex McCoy is a naval
aircrewman serving with
Commander, Patrol and
Reconnaissance Wing 11.
A naval air crewman is
responsible for maritime
patrol and surface warfare.
“We use acoustic and
non-acoustic sound to track
submarines underwater and
report our findings,” said
McCoy.
According to Navy
officials, Wing 11’s history
and reputation remain
unparalleled since being
commissioned on August
15, 1942. Throughout
the decades, Wing 11 has
continued to fly combat
missions in direct support
of the troops on the ground
and delivered traditional
maritime capabilities,
real-time intelligence,
surveillance and
reconnaissance.
Beginning in the 1960s,
the P-3C Orion, a landbased, long-range antisubmarine warfare patrol
aircraft, replaced the P-2V
Neptune fleet. After 50
Petty Officer 1st Class Alex McCoy is a naval aircrewman serving with
Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 11.
years of faithful service
and the 50th anniversary
of Maritime Patrol and
Reconnaissance Force, the
P-3C Orion is being phased
out of the fleet, according to
Navy officials.
The P-8A is a modified
Boeing airframe featuring
a fully connected, state-ofthe-art, open architecture
mission system designed
for long-range antisubmarine warfare;
anti-surface warfare; and
intelligence, surveillance
and reconnaissance
missions, Navy officials
explained.
“The U.S. Navy
sometimes asks the
impossible of our people.
It is sailors that make the
impossible possible,” said
Capt. Anthony Corapi,
Commodore, Patrol and
Reconnaissance Wing 11. “Petty Officer McCoy is
one example of a selfless
servant of our nation. These heroes ask for very
little recognition and
perform their daily job with
pride and professionalism
defending freedom and
our way of life around the
world. Each member of
the Navy’s combat team
is crucial to our success.
I am very proud to have
Petty Officer McCoy on our
team!”
McCoy is part of a crew
that began transitioning to
the P-8A Poseidon and is
preparing for deployment in
the future.
“I just checked into this
command, but from what I
can tell the crew is a sharp
and professional group of
people,” said McCoy. “I
like flying and the travel.
My job is not cut and dry
and every mission is a little
different with problems to
solve.”
“The Navy has taught
me that if you want to
achieve success you can,”
added McCoy. “There is
always something to push
you further mentally and
physically. I didn›t know
I would do the things I am
doing today.”

Golf Tips
Clare thinclads top Rosco, Harrison
What kind of
exercise and
workouts will
improve my golf?
The Clare track teams
notched wins over Harrison and host Roscommon
on Wednesday, making it
all the more likely both
teams will win another
Jack Pine Conference title.
For the 100 meter dash,
for the boys Clare had
Brenden Sersaw take first
and Harrison had Jeremy
Fillhard finish second. In
the 200 Clare had Xavier
Martin come in second and
Harrison had Blaze Capen
place third.
The 400 had Harrison’s
Zach Taylor place second
and Clare’s Chase Field
come in fourth, while in
the 800 Clare’s Justin Tickle and Nick Wertheimer
were first and third and the
Hornets had Jens Oeller
come in fifth.
The Pioneers swept
the top three spots in the
1600 thanks to Ben Haupt,
David Good and Scotty

Before I answer this
question, remember there is
no substitution for proper
mechanics. Workouts that will
help your golf are ones that
will build strength, increase
stamina, flexibility, and
improve your core. There are
thousands of workouts that fit
this criteria. The hard part is
choosing one and making the
exercise a part of your weekly
routine.
You will want to build
strength, not bulk, and flexibility to improve your golf
swing. Most of us don’t have
enough strength or flexibility
to worry about so light or even
no weights are recommended.
This will decrease your chance
of injury. There are many
exercise tapes that incorporate
the light weights within their
session. Find one you like and
go with it. Currently my wife
and I are using a Beachbody
routine called Piyo, which is
fast paced Yoga and Pilates
mixed together with no
weights and we just finished
21 Day Fix which uses High
Intensity Interval Training
to build strength and muscle
tone, and increase flexibility.
Ultimately any workout that
becomes part of your routine
will be beneficial.
Stamina can be built by any
cardio exercise. 30 minutes
of jogging, biking, etc. gets
the blood pumping, lungs
working, and you feeling
better. Stamina is important
for those last few holes when
most matches are won or lost.
Cardio is recommended for
golfers and non-golfers alike.
Even if you don’t improve
your golf game, your overall
health will improve.
In conclusion, if you want
the best exercise for your golf
game and to be able to build
strength, increase flexibility,
and stamina, and improve your
core, simply walk the golf
course.

Clare’s appeal of Michigan Works settled
By Rosemary Horvath
Correspondent
Clare County balked two
years ago when it was reassigned to a new and larger
group of counties under
Governor Snyder’s Prosperity Zone concept.
The move meant the
county’s association with
Michigan Works! Region
7B would end, and the
Harrison site for Michigan
Works! may have closed.
Prosperity Zones had
grouped counties into 10
zones and realigned boundaries of federal and state
departments and agencies
into their respective zone.
Goal was to match program
boundaries in order to
streamline services.
Clare County was put
into the 8-county Region
5 East Central Michigan
Prosperity Region, along
with Arenac, Bay, Gladwin,
Gratiot, Isabella, Midland
and Saginaw.
It was directed to leave
the new Region 3, which
was initially Region 7B,
and its partners Alcona,
Alpena, Cheboygan, Crawford, Iosco, Montmorency,
Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego,
Presque Isle and Roscom-

Commissioner Jim Gelios led the charge against
the move, arguing Clare
would forfeit its influence
in the shadow of the larger
populated counties. In fact, as it turned out,
the new regional board
entitled the smaller populated counties such as Clare
one vote on the governing
board, while the larger
counties had two or more
votes. Saginaw County was
granted six votes.
Municipal attorney
David Stoker, legal counsel
for Clare as well as some of
the other counties, first appealed to the state to retain
the original group. When
this was denied, he filed an
appeal with the Department
of Labor in 2015.
Commissioner Gelios
recently announced that the
DOL upheld the northwest
region’s request and granted the original designation. Even though this ruling deals primarily with
Workforce Development
and Michigan Works!, it’s
unclear how this will affect
other programs and whether
the county will have
some programs under one
prosperity zone and others
under another.

Cleanup of the cemetery will begin May 17,

Cops & Doughnuts adds Ludington, Bay City locations
Cops & Doughnuts has
announced they are opening two additional bakeries
in the Lower Peninsula.
Cops & Doughnuts “McDonald’s Precinct” will
open its doors on May,
15 2016 in Ludington
and Cops & Doughnuts
“Sutherland Precinct” will
begin serving doughnuts in
late June in Bay City.
“Just like Clare, our
nine cop-owners are on a
mission to save historic
bakeries around Michigan
and even beyond,” said
President Greg “Ryno”
Adopt-A-Pets
Rynearson. McDonalds
Bakery in Ludington has
been run by the McDonald
family since 1898. Sutherland’s Bakery in Bay City
also dates back to the late
1800’s.
“It is an honor to be part
of saving these historic
bakeries,” said Vice President Al “Bubba” White.
White says these two bakeries are just the start. “We
have our police sights set
on several other locations
and we are always looking for more,” White said.
“Soon we will be offering
franchise opportunities
coast to coast nationwide.”
Cops & Doughnuts began in 2009 when all nine
full time officers of the
Clare City Police Department pooled their own
money to save the cities
only doughnut shop from
going out of business.
The original Cops &
Doughnuts bakery in
Clare, MI has added approximately 60 new jobs
to the community. The
Gaylord location brought
8 new jobs to northern
Lower Peninsula. The
new Cops & Doughnuts
locations in Ludington and
Bay City collectively will
create about 20 new jobs.
President Greg Rynearson said, “We have been so
blessed with the support of
our Clare community family and have been equally
blessed by the communities of Ludington and Bay
City. We look forward to
making even more friendships in the months and
years to come.
