No residents were injured in the fire, but two firefighters were injured and sent to MidMichigan Medical Center Clare, Garfield Township Fire Chief Kevin Tubbs reported. “One had heat exhaustion, he was taken to Clare by Mobile Medical Response Ambulance Service. The other firefighter strained his back and drove himself to the hospital.” One of the apartment tenants called in the fire around 3:30 p.m. Tubbs said the apartment complex was a total loss. “Windy conditions and high temperatures made fighting the fire difficult for us,” he said. “It was around 90 degrees.” Three other departments, Lincoln Township, Nottawa-Sherman and Evart were on the scene to assist the Garfield firefighters, Tubbs said. “The Red Cross also have stepped in to assist the tenants,” he added, “and the Garfield Township Auxiliary provided us with food and refreshments.” BOC tells County no more hiring By Rosemary Horvath Correspondent Clare County imposed an immediate hiring ban Wednesday notifying all departments not to hire full-time, part-time or temporary employees until further notice. County Administrator Tracy Byard emailed the edict to department heads before the county commission meeting ended Wednesday. The decision wasn’t easily made. Commissioner Karen Lipovsky’s original motion seconded by Commissioner Samantha Pitchford only listed full-time employees. Commissioners Jim Gelios and Don David voted no because they wanted more. Commissioner David then moved with second by Commissioner Leonard Strouse to freeze part-time employees as well. The motion was amended to include temporary employees as recommended by Commissioner Pitchford. Chairman Jack Kleinhardt and Commissioner Lipovsky voted no. Both motions contained a provision that a department that wanted to hire or replace an employee must come before the board for approval. Freezing payroll is viewed as the first step in serious budget cutting. Treasurer Jenny BeemerFritzinger submitted a chart indicating a budget deficit of nearly a half million at the end of this fiscal year. The Municipal Employees Retirement System, or MERS, the program that handles the county’s retirement benefit program, notified the county its fund is only 71 percent funded. In other words, the fund is around $6.6 million underfunded. Revenue that has bolstered the sheriff’s department and jail budgets may be in store for a major setback next year because the Department of Corrections is pulling out state inmates from county jails. Clare County has relied on that jail bed revenue for years. Commissioner Dale Majewski noted that pensions nationwide are underfunded because the rate of return on investments has been so low. He read where pensions are unfunded by trillions nationwide. Commissioner David pointed out that unfunded pension liability is a formula based on the presumption all employees will retire at the same time. “That’s not going to happen.” He went on to suggest padding the pension fund more to send a sign to MERS that more money was being put aside. It’d show the county was making an honest effort. Chairman Kleinhardt doubted if that would be enough. MERS has already singled out eight Michigan counties that will receive letters from the State Treasury. State government “can come in and order cuts,” he said, adding that the “county’s obligation was growing faster that the attempt.” Some counties are passing bond issues to replace MERS. Administrator Byard noted however, a county has to be 100 percent funded before it can exit the program. The county’s hiring freeze surfaces at the same time commissioners are dealing with personnel matters. Longtime equalization director Kim Halis who has sought multiple raises unsuccessfully has resigned and is now employed as the equalization director for Gladwin County. The change came about in the last week. If Clare County were to contract services with another county, that person would have to be credentialed at Level 4.

Garfield Township firefighters Tommy Hawley and Myranda Pitman lost almost everything in their apartment in the fire.

Now they are helping the tenants find places to stay and working with their insurance company to recoup the loss. They told 9 & 10 news they are hoping to rebuild. The cause of the fire, how, and where it started is still under investigation, Chief Tubbs said. The Garfield Township Fire Department was also assisted at the scene by the Clare County Sheriff’s Department and MMR. Fireworks highlight 30th Summerfest By Pat Maurer Correspondent Renee Haley outlines a proposal to combine veterans affairs programs of Clare and Wexford counties. The state has imposed higher requirements on assessors and equalization directors that the number of recruits has dwindled. The data entry clerk and field appraiser left in the Harrison office has requested a salary increase and new job title of deputy director/mapping clerk due to the extra responsibilities she will fulfill. Byard was directed to survey companies capable of carrying out equalization responsibilities. She will also survey other counties on the idea of contracting. A bit of good news stemming from the meeting Wednesday seemed to be a collaboration between Clare County and Wexford County. Commissioners unanimously showed support of reappointing Renee Haley as executive director of veterans affairs and they agreed to an intergovernmental agreement. Haley will divide her week day schedule with Wexford’s newly created veterans affairs office in Cadillac. The new director, Anthony Garcia Rubio, will shadow Haley as she attends meetings and she will guide him in becoming accredited. This way, Haley noted, claims for veterans can begin immediately. This regional collaboration is fostered by Governor Snyder’s push to regionalize programs, Haley noted, because “partnerships improve services.” Wexford will pay Clare $20,800 as its share of Haley’s salary. The agreement will run for two years. There are 3,200 known veterans living in Clare County and 2,900 living in Wexford County. Commissioners agreed this experience may open the door to other possible collaborations. Clare Automotive Inc. 214 W .

Isabella County Judge Paul Chamberlain also sentenced her to a two- year prison term for an additional firearm charge, with 417 days served. Bigford was found guilty of the charges May 17 after a week long-rial. It was the third attempt to try her for the murder. The first two were declared mistrials. The Gilmore Township woman was convicted of shooting Howard in the parking lot of Chase Run Apartments in Mt. Pleasant when he arrived there around noon that day to pick up his daughter. Howard was shot six times in the apartment complex parking lot. The prosecutor charged that Bigford was waiting there for him with the intention to shoot him. Bigford reportedly believed that Howard had molested his three-yearold daughter. She and the then-3-year-old girl’s mother, Latesha Bigford, filed sexual abuse com- Mary Lou Bigford plaints against Howard, but investigations by plans to pay for his children’s and grandchildren’s education.

The murder weapon, reportedly a .22 or .25 handgun, has not been found. In just over two hours of deliberation, the jury found Bigford guilty on all counts. In a Fenton newspaper article, Howard’s family said they are glad that justice is being served. McLaren tech charged with drug embezzlement Mt. Pleasant man wins $1 million A Mount Pleasant man got a big surprise when he checked his Mega Millions ticket and learned he won $1 million. Herman Lauer matched the five white balls drawn – 25-48-51-65-72 – in Tuesday’s drawing to win a $1 million prize.

Angelee Wilkerson, a 43-year-old Weidman woman, is facing several felony embezzlement charges for stealing prescription medication after turning herself in this week. Wilkerson, a Pharmacy Technician at McLaren Hospital in Mt. Pleasant, confessed to stealing prescription medication from the hospital for the past couple of years, a release from the police said. The theft was discovered during an audit when a pharmacist at the hospital noticed an inconsistency with medication ordering and dispensing, the release from Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said. A detailed audit followed and revealed that a hospital employee had been embez- zling prescription drugs for a number of years. The theft was reported to police who began an investigation May 31, and identified Wilkerson as the suspect. The Isabella County Prosecutor issued a threecount felony warrant and Wilkerson turned herself into the court. Wilkerson was arraigned June 14 in Isabella County Court on one count of Embezzlement-Agent or Trustee $1,000 or more but less than $20,000; Controlled SubstanceDelivery/Manufacture; and Controlled SubstancePossession/Analogues. She posted bond and was released, Brown reported.

Surrey Board hears cemetery complaints VBS By Pat Maurer Correspondent The Surrey Township Board fielded some complaints about the condition of the older part of the Surrey Township Cemetery at their meeting Tuesday evening. Rita Vance and her mother Joy Fuller were at the meeting to voice their concerns that the older part of the cemetery near the front where a family member is buried is in poor condition. “We had permission to plant a tree by a grave from the board (in 1989),” Vance said. It was topped and then cut down. It’s gone now.” She said a lilac bush was also cut down. “The older graves in the front of the cemetery are not being taken care of,” they said. They said some head- stones were broken, there was little grass there and they wondered if something could be done. Township Clerk Glenna Bradbury responded saying the maintenance people were not responsible for the headstones. Supervisor Russ Hamilton added, “There has been some vandalism there, but the headstones and graves belong to the people that own the plots.” He added that a lot of trees in the cemetery have been removed because they were diseased and there are still more that need to be removed. Bradbury added, “We do the best we can to keep it nice there. There’s no money for grass seed. We did have a group that was interested in repairing the headstones at one time.” She continued, “I get compliments all of the time on the cemetery. I think it looks really nice. The older stones are very delicate and crumble easily, but the headstones are the responsibility of the owners.” Township Treasurer Esther Pitchford said the board could try and put more in the budget for the cemetery for grounds maintenance. Evaluation of the Landfill groundwater was another issue that came before the board Tuesday. Zoning Administrator Rod Williams, who is responsible for checking the monitoring equipment at the landfill, asked the board to approve a Gas Detector Kit for $1,005.00. He also asked the board to approve $5,750 to have Environmental Resource Management do a groundwater evaluation and prepare a report for the Department of Environmental Quality. The board approved both expenditures unanimously. Other business at the township meeting included: *A zoning report from Williams. *A report from Fire Chief Dave Williams. *Approval for a $4,950 software update for the fire department’s 15-year-old outdated program. *Approval of the $16,908.75 purchase of five portable radios, to come from next years’ budget to improved communication with Central Dispatch and Isabella County. *A vote to waive the purchase of foreclosed properties in the township. *Approved bills payable totaling $37,714.34. 2016 June 20th - 24th Clare Church of the Nazarene 10160 S.

Karolyn Smith Page 4A - The Clare County Review - June 17, 2016 Grant Twp. to seek 1.2 mils for roads By Pat Maurer Correspondent Once again, Grant Township voters will be asked to approve a road millage. After a lengthy discussion and hearing an extensive special presentation on funding and programs from Clare County Road Commission Board Chair Julie Lightfoot and EngineerManager Deepak Gupta, the Grant Township Board voted 4-1 (with Dick Zinser voting no) to put a 1.2 mill proposal for roads on the November ballot. Before the vote, board members stated their preference on three suggested proposals: Option 1 - no millage request, Option 2 – a proposal asking voters for 1.2 mils for ten years, or Option 3 - a proposal asking for 2 mils for ten years. Over the ten years, Option 2, the 1.2 mill proposal, would raise enough funds to finance $745,000 in HMA blacktop overlays, $505,000 for gravel work, $300,000 for truck route enforcement and three, rather than two dust control applications per year. Option 3 for 2 mils would have included all of the work in Option 2 and added $485,000 for surfaced subdivision work. The board members were polled for their choice. Township Trustee Richard Zinser immediately said no to placing any millage request on the ballot, adding that it isn’t the township’s responsibility to repair the roads. Superintendent Dan Dysinger and Trustee Marge Bell both opted for the 2 mil proposal. Marge said she would prefer the 2-mil proposal saying it was “the better route.” Dysinger agreed, saying he preferred going for 2 mils but would support either of the two millage requests depending on what the board wanted. Township Treasurer Tammy Shea said she preferred the 1.2 mil request, which would allow the township to fix and maintain the roads. Township Clerk Sue Wentworth also supported the 1.2 mil option, saying, “There was already a vote that would have fixed all the roads. It was voted no.” In 2014 the township voters turned down a tenyear, 3-mil request by just seven votes. Township resident Merle Harmon, who was in the audience, cautioned the board that residents of the subdivisions might not support the option that left them out. “You may lose voters if you don’t address all township residents.” Shea said she supported fixing the subdivision roads too, saying with the promise of funding from the State and careful management of the township funds, that could be accomplished. “I want this to benefit all our residents,” she said. Dysinger said the subdivision roads could be addressed. After Option 2 was approved, he said, “I just hope the (township) residents support this. If it doesn’t pass, we won’t be doing any road projects next year. We’ve pretty much used our available funds.” He said, “While admittedly the Township Board had initially agreed the millage would not be a ballot subject, being approached by a group from the Township, not just Five Lakes Area, required we at least look at it. After careful consideration and crunching numbers we can hope voters will see the value of our tax dollars being spent locally.” He added, “The Board agreeing to a 1.2 mill question [if approved] will raise about $115,920 in its first year inclusive of 2016 for 10 years. However, voters must first pass the measure in November. 1.2 mills is nearly 2/3rds less than the issue defeated in November 2014. Work completed in 2013 to 2016 and removing routes from the original plan, plus cost savings and possibly increased funding from CCRC, led to the reduction.” The township will be spending an estimated $512,255 repairing roads this year with help from the Road Commission, a $20,000 match incentive for one paving project and the engineering and labor for the projects. The contract between the CCRC and township, also approved at Tuesday’s meeting, said, “The Road Commission will provide engineering, prepare the road bed for aggregate, order the MDOT 23A aggregate, and arrange for trucking and then spread, shape and compact the Dense Graded aggregate, also install the culverts and do the proper drainage work. On the Chip and Asphalt overlays, the road commission will oversee the placement and keep track of the quantities.” Roadwork scheduled for this year includes: $129,787 for gravel roads including Leghorn, Elm, Bass Lake, Rock and Washington and $354,081 for Asphalt on Kapplinger, Beaverton, Grant and Harrison. “Grant Road will get an overlay all the way to Ann Arbor Trail,” Dysinger noted. The total estimated for the projects was $483,868 with $48,387 set aside for possible overruns. This is much more than the township had originally planned. The scope of the projects is Blacktops (HMA’s) on Grant Road from Beaverton to Ann Arbor Trail and Beaverton Rd. / Kapplinger Rd. from Pebble Creek to Grant Rd. Chip Seals will be done on Harrison Ave. from Surrey to Pike Ave. Gravel Projects include: *Rock Rd. from Bass Lake Ave. to Harrison Ave. *Bass Lake Ave. from Rock to Elm Rd. *Elm Rd. from Bass Lake to Harrison Ave. *Leghorn Rd. from Elm Rd. to Surrey Rd. and *Washington Rd. from Beaver Rd. to Harrison Ave. Dysinger said, “Grant Township Residents should also be aware that over 3 Farwell couple turn to MBF Willow is a beautiful 7-year-old American Bulldog, the beloved pet of Tiffanie and Justin Baker in Farwell. Willow has mast cell cancer and requires chemotherapy. The cost of treatment is out of reach for the Bakers, but they are not willing to give up. The Bakers discovered Magic Bullet Fund (MBF), applied for financial assistance, and the Fund agreed to help. Magic Bullet Fund helps when a dog would not be able to receive treatment without financial assistance. The fund was founded by medical animal writer Laurie Kaplan, in honor of her own cancer survivor, Bullet, in conjunction with the release of her book, “Help Your Dog Fight Cancer.” This book has given tens of thousands of dog owners the knowledge, confidence and optimism needed to see their beloved canines through cancer treatment. Thanks to the assistance of Magic Bullet Fund, Willow will have a chance to survive cancer. A diagnosis of canine miles of Surrey Rd. will be chip sealed this summer, this is funded by federal dollars flow through the Clare County Road Commission. This chip and seal will help to preserve the surface from further degradation. Surrey Rd. is very heavily traveled.” He continued, “All of these projects combined wipe out a significant portion of needed road improvements within Grant Township. There is certainly more needed. Weather permitting the HMA work will be completed before the end of June and Chip Seals should be done before August 15. By early fall gravel work should be completed depending on progress.” Once the roads are repaired, the township board wants to keep them from being damaged by truck traffic as has happened in the past. Local roads are under the township’s jurisdiction and the board unanimously approved developing an ordinance that will place weight limits on some. Dysinger said, ““The tentative roadways under consideration for restricted trucks through a “truck route ordinance” is: Grant Road from Dover to Ann Arbor Trail; Harrison Ave from Kapplinger to M-115 (old 10); Harrison Ave. from Surrey to Pike Rd; Surrey Rd. from Old 27 to Cornwell; Dover Rd. from Old 27 to Eberhart Rd. and Eberhart Road.” He added, “There are plans to introduce the first draft copy in July’s regular meeting; adoption in August with an effective date in September. This may be pushed back a month but hopefully we can use this schedule.” Other business at the township meeting Tuesday included: *Approval of the first right of refusal for PA 123 properties. *Approval for a summer newsletter. *A County Commission report from Leonard Strouse. *A presentation by Clare County Sheriff Candidate Barney Ledford. *Approval of the payment of bills totaling $16,859.75.

Tiffany and Justin Baker raise funds for “Willow’s cancer treatments through MBF” cancer is not necessarily a death sentence. Veterinary oncology has made tremendous advances in the past decade and there are treatment options available to those who want to fight their pet’s cancer. Fund founder Kaplan says, “Cancer is as unpredictable in pets as it is in humans. We do not expect miracles for all of the dogs, but we celebrate the ones we get. The real miracle for these families is that they can have an extended goodbye, time for special moments that will become lasting memories, and the very important ability to say, ‘I fought for my dog’s life!’’” The fund helps families across the U.S. If Willow’s campaign goal has been met, you’ll find her on the Dogs Funded page, but you can still donate to the General Fund to help other dogs receive treatment and a chance to survive cancer.

C Clare County Review (Expires 7/8/2016) Serving all of Clare County 105 W. Fourth Street Clare, Michigan 48617 Phone; 989-386-4414 The Clare County Review - June 17, 2016 - Page 5A Antique saw mill star of M-61 tractor show By Rosemary Horvath Correspondent Four members of the Twenty Lakes Antique Engine & Tractor Association huddled over the carriage of a late 19th century saw mill, preparing to fire it up in time for ongoing demonstrations at the club’s annual summer event Thursday through Saturday. The apparatus is a reminder of local history when the land was a dense forest threaded with Indian trails. Then lumber barons arrived and established camps throughout the region. The history museum at the Evart Public Library displays relics and tools of lumber camps that show how primitive but functional tools were in the day. The Empire sawmill at the organization’s grounds on M-61 features a carriage that holds a log in place pass a large circular saw that cuts the wood to size. Maurice “Smitty” Smith of Harrison said the sawmill is from the late 1800s and came from the Gladwin area. It bears the name Empire which could also mean it had been part of the Empire Lumber Company in Leelanau County back in the 1800s. History shows the company had been the largest mill in the area at the time. Tom Hosmer of Harrison operates the carriage. He and his dad Charles have been club members for 10 years or more. They started out volunteering to help with the mill “and we just keep coming back,” Charlie said. Tom couldn’t say if he descended from lumberjacks. “My granddad worked in the woods so I’m sure everyone back in the day” were one form of a lumberjack or another. Tom as with most members of the organization own antique tractors, and typically more than one. They bring their collections to the summer show to display and demonstrate. Collectors began to set up on Wednesday, along with vendors and campers who planned to stay over this weekend. Donna Hosner, association treasurer, was outside the blacksmith shop, directing new arrivals on where to park. The event also features plowing demonstrations, cedar shingle planer, Donna Hosner, treasurer of Twenty Lakes Antique Engine & Tractor Association, takes a break Wednesday from lining up vendors and collectors ready to set up for the 32nd annual summer show opening Thursday and running through Saturday.

I especially hope that each and every one of the fifty or so that were taken to Orlando Regional Center and other area hospitals recover quickly from their injuries. That said, I’m appalled at our politicians who are using this tragedy as an opportunity to push their political agenda. Conservatives are speaking out in an effort to label many Moslems as purveyors of radical Islam and are renewing efforts to ban Moslems from immigrating to the United States. Liberals are demanding stricter gun control, claiming mass shootings like Orlando wouldn’t happen if deranged gunmen didn’t have access to weapons. For me I don’t want to listen to either argument right now. This is a time to pay our respects to the forty-nine innocent men and women who died in that Orlando nightclub. They went there to have a good time, and to mingle with friends. They certainly didn’t expect to be targeted by an Isis-inspired maniac. I don’t want to listen to the politicians arguments because there are two more important issues in my opinion. First, I dread the next six months where Clinton and Trump will partake in the nasti- est presidential campaign ever known to the United States. I greatly wish that each candidate could refrain from negative rhetoric. It is more important than ever, that we see civility not nastiness, from our leaders. I wish they could be positive and lay out their positions on how they would tackle the various problems facing our great nation. I wish they took a pledge to end all personal attacks. Whether we are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or independent, we as a body of people need to come together. Whether we are straight or gay, Moslem, Jewish or Christian we need to embrace one another. Whether we are black, white, yellow or mixed it is time to stop racial hatred and love thy fellow man. Secondly, we have to realize that there is a greater problem than gun control or banning Moslems, and that is mental illness. No sane person could kill innocent people like Omar Mateen did in Orlando. Make no mistake he was mentally ill. His co-workers at the security firm he worked for called him bi-polar and a “nut job.” Others ignored his homophobic ramblings, discounting them because he was crazy. The same can be said for all the other recent mass killers in this country. Yes, for the most part they utilized automatic weapons and many professed allegiance to radical Islam, but to a tee, they were all mentally ill. And you know what, you don’t hear Clinton or Trump, or any other high ranking politician talk about the sad state of affairs when it comes to taking care of the mentally ill in this country. The number of people diagnosed with some type of mental illness is staggering, yet treatment either has failed or is non-existent. In some cases treatment or meds is too costly. In many cases, persons aren’t even diagnosed because they are too embarrassed to see a medical professional. Let me reiterate. I hope, we as a nation have learned a couple of things from these mass killings. I hope we can unite as a people. Certainly healthy debate is productive, but we have got to stop the personal attacks and religious and racial hatred. AND additionally we need to provide help for the mentally ill in this country. So much talk about gun control yet so little about mental illness. That needs to be reversed, in this columnist’s opinion. Letters Response to naysayers on bathroom On May 12, 2016 when The Obama Administration circumvented the rule of law and sent directives directly to each and every school district in the nation, mandating that students be allowed to “self identify” their gender and select which bathroom, locker room and shower facility they would use in the schools, I penned a Letter to the Editor of our esteemed local paper. My husband and I also attended the Clare School Board Meeting to discuss the issue that following Monday. Now that the Board has had more than 72 hours to review the directives, we will be attending the upcoming meeting on June 20th. Since the publication of my letter, I have been called a “Stepford Wife” and a “hater” (among other amusing things), and my husband’s letters have been called “psychotic political rantings”. I found the Stepford Wife comment most amusing. I’m just old enough to understand the attempted metaphor, but it is so wrong that I’m just left shaking my head. The sad thing is, I think the readers completely missed the point of the letter and went right to the transgender issue. I’m hoping it is not because of poor reading comprehension skills, rather its more due to progressive indoctrination. I laid out a very concise argument about how the Executive Branch of Federal government acted completely out of scope of their enumerated powers, and are now basically blackmailing our local school districts with the threat of withholding federal funding from them if they do not comply with their directive. However, no one addressed that, they went right to the transgenders. Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough about the problem with the directive. First off, I have no problem with human beings who are legitimately transgendered using the bathroom that corresponds with their body parts. By definition, I mean someone who so legitimately believes they are actually the gender opposite that of which they were born, that they have had the surgeries and the therapies to change their reproductive organs. I’d like to see the actual statistics of how many of these students we have in our school district. I’m certain in many instances I have shared public bathrooms with people whom are transgendered. I’m certain it has probably even happened in the schools. The key problem with the directive is that it allows people to “self identify”. Essentially this means that a boy or a girl, can walk into the boys’ OR girls’ locker room, shower areas, bathrooms, etc. IN THE SCHOOL. The types hurling the insults at me for my letter say “this didn’t happen before, and it won’t happen now, this directive is just to prevent bullying” frankly don’t have a crystal ball. Can we all stipulate that teenagers, both boys and girls, have the opposite sex on the brain a great portion of their day? And now, the federal government has basically tied the schools hands from protecting students from one another, including transgender students, straight students, gay students and any other category of student. If the schools are to follow this loose directive, they are putting everyone at risk. There really is no ifs, ands or buts about it, anyway you look at it. This is probably the worst way the government could attempt to truly protect transgender students. However, I don’t believe that was the government’s intent by handing down this directive. That is a whole different letter. Sincerely, Angela Isaac Clare, MI High fuel prices hurt all Dear Editor, I understand very much when the price of fuel goes up it’s a burden on the truck drivers. Who deliver most everything from soup to nuts all over the U.S.A.? But then the taxpayers feel the strain too. The truckers get their share added to their paychecks. Every time fuel goes up it’s like their getting another raise in pay. I don’t believe it’s fair. Instead of adding it to their paycheck, give the truckers a separate “Cost of living check” when the fuel prices rise. What ever happened to “What goes up must come down?” The country is in dire straits! If this is not possible, what’s next? Do we eat dirt and walk to our jobs? “Windows are made to break!” The sun doesn’t shine here The anymore. Sincerely, Joseph C.

Some days I think the ‘critters’ enjoy living out here on the Tobacco as much as we do. Besides our usual complement of wild birds, squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks, we have been enjoying the company of a couple of does with spotted babies out here on the river recently. One has a single fawn and the other mother has twins. As with all youngsters, these little ones are more concerned with running and playing than with being cautious. They have been carousing all over the yard in the past week or so. The moms are extra cautious though and our attempts to capture some of those antics with a camera usually scare them and they immediately hustle the young ones away. I did get lucky Sunday though. We had just returned from our third weekend since Memorial Day up at the new camper and settled down to relax a bit after the unpacking was done. Jack said, “Look at who is running all over the yard!” I quietly got up and slipped into the office for my camera. Although “Mama” noticed me moving, she must have thought they were far enough away from the house to be safe, and allowed her young one to continue frolicking all around the riverbank. Using the telephoto, I was able to capture the two in a couple of pictures, including a slightly blurry one of the little one nursing…something I have never seen before. We have had fawns here before. In fact I think these two deer have taken up residence in our backyard. They seem to stick around most of the time. One year a doe hid her very small young one in a particular place, our fire pit. Not only was it full of old ashes, it was raining and that little one sure was uncomfortable, and very visible. I got some pictures of that one too. I sure enjoy watching them…when they let us that is. Unfortunately since I spend the majority of my time facing this computer, I think I probably miss out on a lot of the activity along the river, but late afternoons and early mornings are dedicated to wildlife watching when we can. This year we seem to have an abundance of “small critters.” A lot of them are bunnies, big and small that scrounge on the ground under the bird feeders every day. Then there’s the ground squirrels and chipmunks that come in and fill up their cheeks until they are nearly as wide as they are long. They make several trips every day and probably have “stashes” of seeds under the deck and under our little barn. It’s funny, we seem to see more deer here at home than we do on our weekend excursions to the “wild” country up near Roscommon. There we usually see a few turkeys, an occasional coyote, a chipmunk or two, but few deer and never any fawns. Last weekend we did have a great view of four large herons who landed in the field in front of the camper though. They stuck around for quite a while as we watched them “stalk” back and forth just 50 feet away. We haven’t been doing much wildlife watching up there though as we are still getting settled into the new (to us anyway) Fifth Wheel we bought last month. Jack is in his glory. He is a “project” man and has lots to do up there making our campsite perfect. Now he is planning to build a new deck using some lumber from the old one, which he has been working to dismantle for the past couple of weekends. I encourage him because once that is done, he will put up the screens on our awning and I can sit outside and enjoy camping life without the bugs! There’s lots of those up there. Deer enjoying life on the Tobacco Parents who host, lose the most By Goldie Wood, Prevention & Outreach Manager, Ten 16 Recovery Network The Importance of Developing Protective Factors in the Lives of Children Many parent’s in todays society worry about the possibility of their children using alcohol and other drugs, especially when their children come into their adolescent years. How does one protect their child from beginning drug or alcohol abuse? Luckily for parents, researchers have been focused on this question for the past twenty years, and have been studying how drug abuse begins and how it progresses. There are many factors that can add to a person’s risk of drug abuse. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, risk factors can increase a person’s chance for drug abuse, while protective factors can reduce the risk. However, it is important to note that the majority of people who are at risk for drug abuse never start using or become addicted to drugs. Risk and protective factors exist at every level that an individual interacts with others and the society around them. One way that researchers organize these factors is by domain. There are six domains in which interactions occur. Listed below are a few examples of risk and protective factors in each domain. Individual domain: Risk factors include the perception of a child that most of their friends use drugs and alcohol and genetic vulnerability. Protective factors include knowledge regarding the risk associated with substance use and abuse, positive relationships with adults, and youth involvement in alternative activities. Peer domain: Risk factors include thinking drug and alcohol use is “cool” and attachment to deviant peers. Protective factors include being involved in substance free activities and friends disapproval of drug and alcohol use. Family domain: Risk factors include family members having a history of drug or alcohol abuse, families not spending much time together, and lack of clear rules and consequences. Protective factors include close family relationships, consistency of parenting, and education being valued and encouraged by parents, as well as parental involvement. School: Risk factors include a lack of clear expectations, students lacking a sense of belonging at school, and parents and community not being actively involved with the school. Protective factors include regular school attendance and the communication of high academic and behavioral expectations. Community/Society: Risk factors include alcohol and other drugs being easily available and a pro-use message. Protective factors include opportunities for community involvement and religious composition in a community.

Reader unfolds a Michigan CPS nightmare Dear Editor: My daughter moved home with my son and I when she learned she was pregnant with her first child. She moved in on July 7, 2015. The baby was due January 23, 2016. We had plenty of time to prepare for the new arrival. Plenty of time to find a bigger place to live and get settled in. We moved into a bigger place on August 17, 2015. The father chose not to participate, so I became her pregnancy partner. Then on October 17, 2015 my grandson Ryker James-LaRoy McEvers was born by cesarean section 14 weeks early. We didn›t know if he would make it or if he did, what problems he could have. All we knew was that she and I already loved this tiny bundle all of one pound 2.7 ounces and twelve inches long. She an I were in almost a constant state of prayer and never ever did we lose hope. The doctors inserted a broviac line to infuse nutrition when his umbilical veins dried up. He was on a ventilator from birth, and frequently receiving blood. It seemed he had tubes and IVs everywhere. Ryker was born with a host of medical problems. Ryker was twelve days old on October 29, 2015 when flown to a bigger hospital for a PDA repair. A patent ductus arteriosis repair is a repair of a valve near his heart. He was just over three weeks old, he sailed through the surgery like a trooper. He had a chest tube afterwards to drain any fluid. Ryker was removed from the ventilator on November 24, 2015 and moved to a CPAP machine. On December 1st, 2015 Ryker was stable enough to be sent back to his hospital of birth. On January 3rd, 2016 my son Tyler met his nephew for the first time. He remained on CPAP UNTIL December 12, 2015, next he was moved to high flow oxygen and then finally a home oxygen unit. We knew he would be coming home on various machines, such as oxygen, an apnea monitor, and nebulizer treatments. He was gonna be a lot of work, but worth it. We love him so much. In December we received an unannounced visit from a Clare County Child Protective Services Investigator stating she had received a complaint from the Social Worker at his hospital of birth. Within the allegations were that my daughter has sleep apnea and is not on meds for bipolar-disorder. Dannielle had never been diagnosed with sleep apnea and she had been symptomatic of bipolar-disorder for two years. The sleep study was going to be addressed after we got the baby home. Why would she take meds for bipolar-disorder when she had been asymptomatic for two years? That would be like taking high blood pressure pills when you already have low blood pressure or taking anti seizure meds when you don’t have seizures. It just didn›t make sense. She also stated Dannielle was observed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit showing sad emotions. I think this would be expected given the fact she was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. There are a multitude of emotions the parents of a micro-preemie experience for many months and sometimes years after their birth. The report also said our house was not fit for a baby. The investigator said our home was immaculate. On January 13, 2015 an RN in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit stated she had read the report from the Protective Services Investigator and it was just “glowing”. The investigator called my daughter on this same day while we were at the hospital and told her she and I were being required to do psychological evaluations. I happen to know those can only be ordered by a judge and there was no case. On this same day, I sent the investigator a text message. The Child Protective Services Investigators boss offered us a gas card at the very end of January to To the editor: I would like to respond to the recent letters to the editor involving the transgender issue. I wonder if those who think that we should allow anyone to use the restroom/shower/ locker room of their choice based on which sex they say they “identify” with on any given day, have given any thought to girls and women who have suf- Funeral Home 2 Locations to serve you Lawrence D.

We couldn’t be happier to finally be taking him home. Dannielle and I agreed to sleep in shifts, so that we could both get sleep and watch the baby. On February 7, 2016, just eighteen hours after he was discharged, Ryker had another life threatening event of apnea. The stimulation we were taught was not working. He began to turn blue. Dannielle called 911. He was rushed to the ER. Soon he was is in route flying to Ann Arbor, U of M Hospital. Dannielle and I went home so that she could pack to go to U of M, shower, and leave. A Washtenaw County Child Protective Services Investigator came to investigate the 911 call. She states Dannielle did everything properly. Dannielle and I both came home on February 10, 2016 from U of M to pack some more things and we were going to head back in the morning. The morning of February 11, 2016 while Ryker was still in the hospital, Danielle had the Child Protective Services Investigator and a Sheriff deputy knocking on the door serving her a petition. The petition stated a judge had removed Ryker from Dannielle›s care and custody and there was to be a hearing the next morning. Ryker is now in Foster Care and reunification is the plan. Dannielle has successfully completed all services except 7 therapy sessions. The next hearing is June 29, 2016 in Clare County Family Court at 9:00 A.M. It is in the courtroom of Marci Klaus and Richard Dubridge is my daughters court appointed attorney. Thank you, JLMcEvers Lake, Michigan Responds to letters on transgender issue Stephenson-Wyman Clare • 386-7451 go see Ryker. We went to pick it up at DHHS and Investigator invited us into a room, proceeded to speak to us rudely, and gave us the gas card. Dannielle nor I heard from the investigator again neither by phone, email, text, or in person. Ryker had frequent episodes of bradycardia (low heart rate) and apnea (he often quit breathing). The nurse taught us how to stimulate Ryker to breathe if he happened to stop breathing at home. We were also taught that if that stimulation didn’t work, to call 911 immediately. On January 29, we were finally told Ryker was being discharged home on February 2, 2016. We were so happy and so prepared. Baby items that were in place all throughout the house finally we’re going to be in use. We were all glowing with excitement. The plan was to go to the hospital in February 1st and spend the night with him in a hospital room and he would go home the next day. February 1, 2016 finally came. We were ready! During that evening he had an awful event at the hospital. He quit breathing 3 times for over 30 seconds within a half hour period. They had to stop his feedings, put his IV back in, put him back on CPAP, and almost had to put him back on the vent. He was also moved back to an incubator. They want to keep him for a few more days. It was scary. He will be home. It was just heartbreaking that it was going to take more time. Over the next few days, they were able to wean him back down to where he was before that apparent life threatening event and informed us he would be discharged on February 6th, 2016.

Can you imagine having been victimized in such a terrible fashion and then, the government tells you that you have to share the ladies room or women’s shower with people who are biologically and anatomically males? Talk about causing or amplifying Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. But apparently the liberals are far more concerned with accommodating the desires of a tiny handful of gender-confused people than they are about protecting women and girls from being traumatized. In my opinion, if someone has had surgery to alter their sex organs, they should certainly be allowed to use the facilities that best correspond with their body. However, I would not care to have my daughter taking a shower after gym class with a student who is anatomically a male. One of the biggest problesm with the proposals put forward by the Obama administration’s Departments of Education and Justice as well as the Michigan Department of Education, is that anyone could use, not just rest rooms, but locker rooms, showers, etc.…of the opposite sex based simply by declaring that he “identifies” as that sex on any particular day. This would allow students who have all male parts, for example, to use the girls’ locker rooms, showers and rest rooms. If you don’t think that some teenaged boys would use this to their advantage, you are extremely naïve. To the letter writer who last week said these things are fiction, here are a few examples I could cite involving men in women’s facilities doing inappropriate things: Very recently in Oregon, a woman was groped in a water park women’s room by a man. The University of Toronto had to shut down coed bathrooms in dorms due to prying eyes of some male students. In Seattle, a man used a women’s dressing room at a public pool to undress, citing the new law allowing him to do so and shocking a poor woman who walked in on him. Another woman was shocked by a man using a women’s dressing room in Dallas, saying he was “representing himself as a woman today”. The above are not fictional; they are very real events. Some other recent developments: In Alaska, a boy took all-state honors at the girls state track championships, because he “identifies” as a female. This could spell the end for women’s/girls sports. In some parts of the country, including NYC and Oregon, one can be fined or sued for calling someone by a pronoun they don’t care for, even if it matches that person’s biology. Some school systems have offered students suffering gender dysphoria (identifying as the opposite sex) separate changing facilities but the Obama Administration is saying that isn’t enough…they MUST be allowed to share all facilities with those of the opposite sex if that is how they see themselves. Enough is enough. We can make reasonable accommodations such as some single stall unisex bathrooms in schools or other public places, but without inconveniencing and terrorizing the rest of us. It’s time for some common sense! Obituaries Ernestine (Tina) Beyer Smith Ernestine (“Tina”) Beyer Smith (formerly Tina Schultz) passed away on May 25 at age 86.

The most valuable gift a father can give to his children is a daily demonstration that he loves their mother. I’m the son of a farmer, horse-trader, who taught me to rise early, work hard and quit late. Solomon’s words could have come from my father’s lips: “Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes (which meant get up at 6:00 am), and thou shalt be filled with bread” (Proverbs 20:13), or, in my case at that time, probably pancakes. My father was an encourager and confidence builder. I still remember some of his friends telling him he would spoil me if he didn’t stop praising my work, but he knew the more he praised the harder I would work so ignored their warnings. I can’t remember one putdown coming from my father. I’m sure his confidence was sometimes better than my performance, but knowing he believed in me made a difference and I’m grateful for the positive influence he had on my life. Getting to know my heav- enly Father was the result of the coming together of many experiences and influences. Sometimes, in memory, I scan the crowd of those who had a part in modeling their Lord before me, convincing me of His love. The strong faith and faithfulness of my mother was vital to establishing this relationship, as was the earnest work of Sunday School teachers, Vacation Bible School workers, believing friends, faithful pastors and visiting evangelists. The crucial connection to my heavenly Father came near the close of a Sunday night service. Pastor Leon Wood finished his sermon by explaining that knowing God was a matter of the heart responding to His love in personal faith. “That’s what I want,” I said silently. And though no one in the church knew that anything unusual had taken place, I knew I had gained another father, an eternal one who would never let me down nor leave me alone. Years later, a pretty young woman walked into my life and ultimately down a church aisle to be my bride Area bridge repairs to begin June 20 Bridgework around Clare and Farwell is estimated to begin Monday. Watch for lane closures and traffic shifts on US-10, M-115 and US-127 beginning Monday when repair work begins on the US-10 bridge over M-115 and the westbound US-10 bridge over US-127. The Michigan Department of transportation (MDOT) will invest $2.1 million in repairs on the two bridges. While work is ongoing, traffic on US-10, US-127, and M-115 will be maintained using single lane closures and traffic shifts. The southbound M-115 ramp to eastbound US-10 will be closed and traffic will be directed to take the northbound M-115 ramp to eastbound US-10. Work on the two bridges is expected to be complete in November. and give me another father. Pastor Martin Blok, her father, was the pastor of the church where I served as the minister of youth and music. Pastor Blok was more than my father-in-law; he was my mentor, my friend and teacher. One Sunday morning, he announced there would be a special speaker the following Sunday. “Who’s the special speaker?” I asked later. “You are,” he replied, taking me by surprise and launching me on a career that continued to be more exciting every year. I’ve been blessed by two fathers who placed confidence in me and One in whom I’ve learned I can place full confidence. How fortunate I am! Expecting the best from our children helps bring out the full potential of their lives. Expecting the best from our heavenly Father demonstrates we believe He’s good all the time. And He is!

The nine cop owners now own the former American Cleaners building on West Fifth St. The former owners, Dave and Julie Isaac, have retired from the dry cleaning business. Cops & Doughnuts president Greg “Ryno” Rynearson said,”The building will have several uses including dry storage and space for our cake decorator. Other uses are also being considered including corporate offices. Vice President Al, “Bubba” White said, “Cops & Doughnuts may now own the building, but we are giving the entire South and East wall to Kim Kleinhardt at the 515 Gallery for the Art Alley Project.” Cops & Doughnuts also wants to help the Art Alley Project by asking people to donate license plates from 1969 and older to be used as an art project. The license plates can be dropped off or mailed to the 515 Gallery. The nine cop owner said they are pleased to expand their footprint in downtown Clare and look forward to more exciting projects to come. American Cleaners on West Fourth Street in Downtown Clare.

JACK OF ALL TRADES COINS Scammer fools Mount Pleasant Speedway A scam affecting cashiers statewide hit locally. A quick change artist was successful at a Speedway on Pickard Road in Mount Pleasant. Quick change artists try to confuse cashiers by paying for inexpensive items using large bills, then aggressively throw out small bills, taking all of their own bills plus their change from the cashier. Police say the cash drawer at Speedway came up about $20 short as a result. A couple hours later the same thing happened in Big Rapids, and now police are working to put a stop to this. “I would encourage everybody if they are a cashier to move the money back to the till, move it and then make the change from there and then hand the change out. If somebody tries to confuse you, slow down, take your time. And if they ever want to complain about it, they can always call us,” says Jeff Browne, public information officer. New Mt.

It was their sincere desire to recognize the contributions of all caregivers and to help those who have the passion to make caring for others their life’s work.” Members of the Bailey Fund Scholarship Committee include Greg N Gladwin – Kamah Ellena, Selina French, Sue Lennon, Marlene Smalley, Melanie Smalley, Scott Smith, Jennifer Woods Harrison – Mary Beach, Michele Booms, Kristi Lizyness Rosebush – Sylvia Vogel Examples of the health professions being pursued by these students are anesthesia, nursing, medicine, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physician assistant, physical therapy, radiology, respiratory therapy and speech therapy.

Classifieds While officials with the Clare-Gladwin Career & Technical Education program work to determine how to maximize the opportunities for students gained with the passage of its millage request in May, there’s also a new variable: Enrollment is way, way up. While the numbers are likely to fluctuate somewhat between now and the start of the school year, enrollment in CTE classes has increased by more than 100 students – almost 30 percent. According to Clare-Gladwin Regional Education Service District Superintendent Sheryl Presler, it’s a great problem to have. “We were definitely hoping for an increase in enrollment, but I’m not sure anybody anticipated a jump like this – not that we’re complaining,” Presler said. “The passage of the millage meant we could follow through on our plans to offer Welding and Business Management immediately, and that accounts for some of the enrollment increase – as we mentioned repeatedly during the information campaign, those were highdemand classes.” Voters approved the 1-mill, ten-year millage to be used solely for CTE programming on May 3. The jump in enrollment comes despite Coleman’s departure as a participating district. Next fall, that district will participate in CTE programs in Midland County, driving down the number of Coleman students at Clare-Gladwin’s CTE program from 21 to two. On the other hand, Farwell’s student participation in CTE is soaring this fall, rising from 35 to 95.

Page 8B - The Clare County Review - June 17, 2016 Sports Lady Eagles ousted by regional semis Golf Tips By Ben Murphy Sports Writer By Thom Slusher Clare County’s PGA Pro How Do I Get 10 More Yards? Nothing gets golfers more excited than hitting a drive that goes farther than their typical. Gaining extra yards can be elusive but here are a few tips to help you in your search. Solid contact is one of the main determinants in the distance you hit your shots. I would start here in looking for extra distance. Shots off the toe or heel will not go as far and more than likely be crooked too. Work on your overall swing to get better contact. Players improving their swings and solidness of contact hit the ball farther without even trying. If you are not sure where the ball is hitting on the club try putting some masking tape on the face before hitting shots. The tape will tell you where the ball is impacting the club. Work on speed after solid contact is achieved. One drill I like to have students perform is to grip the club at the opposite end (club head end). I have them take swings listening to the swoosh sound the grip end makes when they swing. The louder they can make the sound; the faster the club is moving. It is not about how hard but about how fast. Players can increase their club head speed and their distance by using this drill on a regular basis. The Farwell softball team had its bats fall quiet in its division three regional game with Shepherd on Saturday, as the Lady Eagles fell to the Lady Blue Jays 4-0 in the regional semi-final game. Shepherd was the eventual regional champion as it topped Reese in the regional final, 6-5. Farwell starting pitcher Grace Saupe did her part to keep her team in the game, as she kept Shepherd scoreless through five innings. In the top of the sixth though, Shepherd slammed a pair of doubles and were also aided by a Farwell fielding error to take a 2-0 lead. Then, in the top of the seventh, the Blue Jays added two more runs, as their lead-off batter walked, then they added a double and a single to push their margin to 4-0. Though the Eagles were unable to score a run, they had a few good opportunities, as they got their lead-off batter on base each of the first three innings, and four times in all in the game. In the bottom of the first, Alysha Luster led off and reached base by getting hit by a pitch, Kelsey Seiter led off the bottom of the second and reached on an error and in the third, Jade Wilson reached on an error. Wilson reached second base on a walk to Luster with one out, but back-to- back strike outs ended the Farwell scoring threat. Brittany Cogswell led off the bottom of the sixth with a double, but she was stranded there as the next three batters were retired. Cogswell’s double was the only hit of the game for the Eagles. Saupe finished all seven innings and gave up four runs, two earned on seven hits, five strikeouts and two walks. The Eagles finish the season 29-13. LEARN TO GOLF!
