Osceola County prosecutor Tyler Thompson said on Tuesday that Marc Steven Hartnett, 21, this week entered a guilty plea of child abuse, first degree, for “severely injuring a toddler. “He hasn’t been sentenced yet,” Thompson said. “There’s a plea agreement in place where he’ll go to prison for 13 to 40 years.” C.W.

Other charges were dropped as a result of the plea. If Hartnett would have been convicted in a jury trial for first-degree child abuse, he would have faced a penalty of life in prison. His sentencing is Oct. 7” The sentencing will take place at Osceola County’s 49th Circuit Court. Prior to the plea deal, a trial was scheduled to start on Sept. 20. Hartnett earlier this year withdrew from a first plea deal. A court spokesperson said the offense date was on Sept. 23, 2015, in Evart, involving critical injuries sustained by a 19-month old boy, allegedly caused by Hartnett. Also according to reports, the child underwent surgery for life-threatening injuries. Hartnett was later arrested following an investigation into the incident and remains lodged in the Osceola County jail. A bit of History This is what downtown McBain looked like in 1912.

Marion students provided comments on why Homecoming is such a special week: Eighth grader Andrea Weaver: “I think the parade will be my favorite part of homecoming because my dad is coming home to watch me play (in the band).” Junior Hannah Hopkins: “My favorite dress up day is Friday because it’s nice to see those people that care about our school dress or our colors.” Junior Caitlyn Schepers: “I love homecoming. I dress up every day, go to float building and help with window decorating.” Eighth-grader Gwenyth Hall: “My favorite dress up day this week is Villians vs. Heroes. I love Batman and the Joker.” Seventh-grader Logan Romatz: “The best part of homecoming will be the dance.” The Osceola County prosecutor’s office has announced an off-duty police officer from Cadillac has agreed to a plea deal for crashing a vehicle in Osceola County while under the influence of alcohol earlier this year. Prosecutor Tyler Thompson confirmed this week with the Marion Press that Jeffery Daniel Izzard, 45, of Cadillac, recently pleaded guilty to one count of operating while intoxicated. He faced charges in July of one count of operating with a high blood alcohol content after an incident on May 28 in Marion Township. It was reported to be a single-car accident. The original charge against the Cadillac police officer, went from a high BAC down to regular drunk driving, Thompson said. “That’s a pretty standard plea offer for anybody,” Thompson said. “He didn’t get any different plea deal than anyone else would.” Izzard is currently awaiting sentencing at 77th District Court. By pleading guilty to the drunk driving chargé, he faces a lesser penalty that he would have faced under a high BAC, which carries a penalty of up to 180 days in jail and/or $200 to $700 in fines and/or 360 hours of community service. “It’s a standard plea I would have offered to anybody,” Thompson said. “He got no different treatment because he was a law enforcement officer.” It was also Izzard’s first offense, Thompson said.

There have been some reports of counterfeit bills in neighboring counties during the summer. “We get our complaints,” Osceola County undersher- iff Justin Halladay said. “It’s not a regular thing that comes through on a daily basis or even a weekly basis. It might happen here or there where we get a complaint from a business of a counterfeit bill. Sometimes it’s not. They changed $100 bills recently where some people weren’t aware they were making the change or were surprised by it. “There are other times we do get a sporadic coun- terfeit bill. A lot of these people who work at these places are trained (to look for it), whether it be a gas station or party store, or a restaurant. All I can say is just be aware. If we have a rash of them, we do a public service announcement to let people know it’s coming around. But we haven’t had any in awhile. Most copiers and printers today, if you put a dollar bill in there, it will not copy it and will send a message to the internet and to the Secret Service and let someone know they’re trying to print a dollar bill.” Many business don’t take cash and prefer credit cards. “But if they do take cash, what I would do is, if someone pays you in cash, I would look at the bills,” Halladay said. “Just be aware of it.” Games on page 6 Marion to check on speed limits down Main St. By John Raffel Correspondent The Marion Village Council last week decided to check on the speed limit signs on Main Street. Clerk Marsha Turner noted that the signs go from 25 mph to 35 mph. The street department will be checking on the signs, Turner indicated, to make sure there’s no confusion from drivers from the signs on what the proper speed limit is on various stretches through town. “It was brought up there was a differential in the signs for posted speed limits and they were going to check and see to make it all legal on both sides,” Turner said. The council approved the school having the Homecoming parade on Main Street on Sept. 18. The council discussed getting information on a does not have a website. Board members will gather information on that and report back to the rest of the board. “The village has never had a website so (the council) will look into getting one and see what it takes,” Turner said. The council also passed a resolution to support a grant project the Marion library is undertaking for computer technology. The next meeting will on Oct. 3. “It will deal with mostly basic stuff,” Turner said. “We won’t get into the budget until another month or two. Our fiscal year doesn’t end until Feb. 28. We go from March through February. We usually start working on it in December and January and approve it at the February meeting.” website design at its meeting. The village currently MIKE’S FREE Estimates Complete Auto & Collision Center ASE Certified Long-time rod & gun club member appreciates local outdoors BODY SHOP By John Raffel Correspondent Ben Clark taught 36 years locally and enjoys living in the Marion area now as he did in day one. He’s a member of the Marion Rod & Gun Club. He lives two miles south of town. Clark retired in 2002 and taught different subjects, including various sciences and biology. He was in grades six through 12. His teaching job at Marion was his first and only one. Clark is originally from Caro and attends Central Michigan University, where he earned his teaching degree. He wound up getting a teaching job at Marion. He also taught math and conservation. “Biology is my main interest,” he said. “It’s been an interest he’s had for a long time.” Clark has been a member of the Marion Grazing school set By John Raffel Correspondent Local Michigan State University Extension official Jerry Lindquist has announced the presentation of grazing schools for dairy, livestock and small ruminant producers at three locations, including Lake City simultaneously via high speed video conferencing in September. A team of experts at each location that will broadcast their expertise to the different sites and interactive chat from participants with those experts will be provided. Grazing school will be Sept. 22-23, and will begin at 8 a.m. on Thursday and close at 4 p.m. on Friday. The two-day school will be offered at the Lake City Research Center in Lake City. The MSU extension services notes the goal of the school is to blend classroom instruction with in-field education and the latest animal/forage research to give participants an in-depth introduction to grazing management. Subject areas will include introduction to managed grazing; pasture management and decision making; livestock nutrition and requirements on pasture; forage yield determination and pasture allocation; grass and legume species identification; pasture soil fertility and management; grazing systems, layout and design; water systems and requirements; building and using fence for grazing and pasture establishment and improvement. Experts who will be participating in person at Lake City, along with Lindquist, a grazing educator with the extension service, include Jason Roundtree, a Ph.D and beef specialist; Kable Thurlow, a beef educator with the extension service; and Doug Carmichael, a farm manager with the Lake City Research Center. The grazing school, Lindquist, said, “is mainly intended for dairy, beef and sheep farmers to improve their pasture production.” Lindquist indicated these events are very educational and helpful for the participants. “It varies on the farms,” he said. “Some of them are always looking for the newest and latest innovations. Others are more traditional and don’t like to change as much. Farms vary. But farms seeking the latest information usually gain new ideas by attending whether it comes directly from us or if they learn something from other farms.” Interested persons can contact Lindquist at 231-832-6139 for more information. In a related matter, Lindquist said farmers are in need of more rain despite the significant downpours the area got in late August. “Many of our areas are still two to four inches behind normal,” he said. “We’ve gotten some rain and it has helped. Crops are still maturing and moving forward. But we’d like some more. It’s trending on the dry side. It depends exactly on where you’re located. Some places have more significant rain. Many of our farm fields are still short.” SEND A DOCTOR TO THE HOUSE Rod & Gun Club for 48 years. He’s had a long-time interest in the skeet shoot. While he’s not as active in the club as he once was, he’s still an avid deer hunter. Deer hunting prospects for 2016 “are a tossup,” he said. “I haven’t seen anything yet. There’s a lot of dawns and foes running around but haven’t seen any bucks I’d like to shoot.” The general consensus is a mild winter, plus antlerless point restrictions, could make it a good year. “It should be foodwise, they should be healthy,” he said. Clark enjoys using the crossbow, and adds that bow hunting “is the time of year to be out.” He in the past has enjoyed other types of hunting. Clark and his wife travels once in awhile but usually stays around the area. “I like the privacy, for one thing,” he said. “I live in the woods.” Want to get our News sent to your e-mail box for free?

But Marion students had a chance to reflect on the 15th anniversary of 9/11 in recent history and social study classes. Stacie Sutten at Marion High School said ninthgrade U.S. history and 10th grade World history classes had a chance to go back to Sept. 11, 2001, in unique ways when America was attacked by terrorists. “The high school classes watched a video that remembered the tragic events at the Twin Towers, Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania, and the people who were lost,” Sutten said. “President Bush stated, ‘America was attacked because we are the brightest beacon of freedom.’ Students defined freedom as it meant to them and their group.” Sutten said students also discussed thoughts and feelings about the events “I never knew it happened and it saddens me because of all of the innocent lives that were taken,” was among the comments made by students. There were others: “When I found out about it I was confused and I still am today.” “It’s just terrifying to think that we had no clue. Can’t even imagine the amount of pain, grief and anger that everyone felt.” “I’m just confused on how someone can convince someone else to take their life along with the lives of thousands of other lives just because someone said to.” “I got shivers and goose bumps from watching the video. Then I felt sorry for the people that died and the families’ losses.” “I think that everybody should feel sorrow even if you were not born yet because thousands of lives are gone.” “How could someone do this?” “What were the people thinking?” “Things changed so fast.” “How horrifying it must have been for people in the towers and for family and friends who had people working in there.” “I don’t get why someone would want to do something or cause so much trauma like this.” “I remember that freedom isn’t free. Some people dislike our freedom because they themselves don’t have freedom in their country.” “Made me think about how evil the world can be.” “Makes me think about how divided our country is until a great catastrophe plagues the U.S. and we all unite together to grieve the losses.” “Wow…so many people died that day. People didn’t deserve to die so young.” “The video was a terrible thing to watch. It shocked me.” “Just a couple of people can ruin so many lives.” “Did the responsible people even think about how they would react if something like that was to happen to their family?” “Why? Why the U.S.?” Because 9/11 happened when the students weren’t born or can’t remember, students had unique thoughts, Sutten added. “They reacted with a lot of sadness and empathy for the families,” Sutten said. “They also have a lot of disbelief as to why people would cause such devastation.” Photo By Julie Traynor 15th Clark Day well attended The ladies of the Marion Historical Society provided delicious breads and cookies to top off the meal. In spite of the damp skies, all enjoyed the good company and good conversation. Pictured above are Marge Gladu, Ruth Pollington and Sandra Wilson checking out the the fine assortment of breads and cookies. Gillmore expects spillway report soon By John Raffel Correspondent Marion Village Council president Donald Gillmore said he anticipates getting a report soon on improvements the village can make at the dam spillway. “We have an engineer coming up with an idea so we can better regulate the water at the pond,” Gillmore said. “We expect that report soon.” He also provided an update on MDOT funding. “MDOT said they were going to cut our street fund quite a bit, but as it turns out, it was just a small cut, just a few percentage points,” Gillmore said. “It’s the money they spend on the roads. They said it would have to be cut. “A year ago, they were going to raise it because of additional monies from the federal government and the gas tax they passed. Then they said they needed it at the state level so the local level would be cut. But it wasn’t cut significantly. We’re going to be OK. We get so much each year for each mile of street as well as any other city or village. It’s a regular formula.” Gillmore said the street committee is working on tests for the speed limit signs. Missaukee Board reviews favorable financial report at monthly meeting By John Raffel Correspondent The Missaukee Board of Commissioners received some favorable financial news at its monthly meeting on Wednesday. Clerk-register Jessica Nielsen said during a health plan update from Lew Walters the costs to the county will be $14,000 less than projected. “The board has to review the county health Want to get our News sent to your e-mail box for free?

Press The Serving Marion, McBain and Osceola County plan and what it will be with our agent,” Nielsen said, indicating that previous action on the plan taken by the county has been paying off financially. In another piece of good financial news, Nielsen added that the county now anticipates an increase in revenue from the state to the general fund of $43,000. “Many of our special funds will get reimbursed from the state,” she said. Under the finance portion of the meeting, the board approved a district library lease addendum, a Michigan State University Extension 2017 agree- ment and union letters of agreement. The county received a request from the Grand Traverse Library to approve the Talking Book Library program. But the board decided not to participate, Nielsen said. “We have a sidewalk project on the westside of town, south of the elementary school where the sidewalk will be replaced. Then we’ll do regular maintenance,” he said. “As far as what streets we’ll do next year, we haven’t determined that yet. We try to do a street every other year.” 4 Ways to Get Your News Print • Online Facebook • Email Happy Birthday Jean Miller September 18, 2016 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm Former Seventh Day Adventist Church 107 W.

My son was born two weeks before September 11, 2001. Those joyous first weeks of taking part in the miracle of birth were sadly interrupted when terrorists attacked our sacred country. No more could we feel safe, and my thoughts were dominated with concern that my baby, my son would grow up in a much more dangerous world and country we baby boomers had ever experienced. Fast forward to September 11, 2016. The United States and our leaders have taken measures to assure us acts of terror of such magnitude of September 11, will never happen again. Yet, it’s hard to believe. We have been fighting terrorism for fifteen years, longer than any previous war, and I’m not sure we are even close to declaring victory. The fears for my son when he was two weeks old are still pitted in my stomach fifteen years later. This past Sunday, September 11, I had yard work to do, but instead of getting right at it, I began to scroll my Facebook timeline, and I hit upon shock jock, Howard Stern’s live broadcast of September 11, 2001. Now many of you might curl your nose up at Stern, whose popular radio show from New York City is laced with profanities and sexual innuendos. I, however, decided to listen in, knowing that he had been on the air in New York City when the Twin Towers were destroyed. I had forgotten many of the details, but soon I was reliving the moment, with Stern and his crew. Many emotions were welling up inside me- sadness, anger, tears. Stern, unlike network television at the time, has many correspondents and listeners on the ground telling their version of what was happening, although no one knew the whole truth until much later. It was like I was in a movie theater watching a disaster flick, only it wasn’t a movie. It was real and it was very very scary. It was compelling radio. Again it was much like Orson Welle’s War of The Worlds radio broadcast. But this wasn’t a hoax. America was in reality being attacked, and not by aliens. I had intended to turn it on for a minute or two and couldn’t stop listening. I relived the whole 2 ½ hours through the voice of Stern and his crew. Fast forward to September 13, 2016 as I write this column. I was genuinely proud of the citizens of this great nation, as to how we remembered the 15th Anniversary of 9-11. Despite our differences, despite our political affiliations, despite our By Julie Traynor Fall Bonfire Season racial make-up, 99% of Americans are united in honoring those who died in that terrible tragedy, as well as the many others that followed. Our enemies may think we are a divided nation, but when it comes to defending our homeland or the principles we stand for, all but a few of us, will stand and fight. We can never forget 9-11. We were attacked by terrorists, and unfortunately we are still fighting the war. Last Sunday we came together as a nation. We celebrated our patriotism. True there were a few overpaid professional football players that thought otherwise, and I don’t know about you, but I was very moved at the outpouring of patriotism displayed in most every American town and city. I hope we can keep that patriotic candle burning. I hope we continue to have the resolve to beat down the terrorists. I hope, because I have a fifteen year old son, and I don’t want him to live in a country where fear dominates love. Reflections By Roger Campbell Ministries Our Rich Heavenly Father My working associate was a top-notch salesman and highly respected by our employer and others, but he had a severe drinking problem that nearly ended his life. A ruptured stomach ulcer finally caused him to start bleeding internally, resulting in a speedy ambulance trip to the hospital and concerns about his survival by family members. Finally, he began to recover but his return to health was hindered by his constant anxiety over debts he had accumulated. One day, his father-inlaw came to the hospital to visit him and asked if he had learned anything from this fearful experience. He answered that he had learned how dangerous it was for him to drink and said he was through with alcohol for life. “If you mean that,” his father-in-law said, “I’m going to pay every debt you owe and give you a new start.” My friend was nearly speechless at this offer. “But, Dad,” he replied, “you have no idea how much I owe.” “You have no idea how much money I have,” his kind father-in-law replied. And after the hospital stay was over, he brought his worried son-in-law a checkbook full of signed checks, enabling him to pay all those debts that had been such a burden to him and that had slowed his recovery. We have a rich Heavenly Father who longs to lift our burdens and carry our cares. He is grieved when we insist on trying to carry them ourselves so invites us to come to Him and find rest. In doing so, we honor Him by our faith and enter into what Jesus called abundant living (John 10:10). This doesn’t guarantee a trouble free life. Our Lord warned that trouble comes even to those of us who walk by faith. He also promised to walk with us all along the way. Some who have endured severe persecution and found their walk with God sufficient for these times of trouble have become the most fervent in sharing their faith with others. Consider the present multiplying of believers in places where imprisonment and other trials have been common. A recent report states that ten thousand people are now joining churches in China daily (70,000 per week), leading to an estimated 111 million members. Most of us have known people who were serene when everything seemed to be crashing down around them. In the most trying of circumstances, they have remained trusting and calm. Those go- ing to comfort them have come away comforted. They have been living examples of genuine faith. The secret of such peace in times of peril is being confident that God is always up to the occasion and open to our prayers. People who are struggling financially may find money problems on their minds continually. They feel that an increased cash flow would solve all of their problems, but those who have plenty of money also have cares. Surprisingly, most studies show that wealthy people have more trouble with worry and depression than those with less. How shall we then handle life’s cares? According to the Bible, we’re to worry about nothing and pray about everything. Peter put it this way: “Casting all your care on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). And no matter our problems, our rich Heavenly Father can handle them all. Roger Campbell was an author, a broadcaster and columnist who was a pastor for 22 years.

The smell of a Jack pine fire is piney pungent, welcoming and comfortable in the late summer air. We sat in our chairs by the fire kept an eye skyward; the fall bird migration is well underway. Unless one takes the time to watch for the many kinds of birds that use that migratory highway in the sky, they slide by in great numbers, unnoticed. Many kinds of birds who spend the summer in the far north are only seen in these parts for a brief time, coming and going. If we are lucky we see the unusual should they stop at our ‘rest area’ bird baths and feeders. In the evening we kept our eyes still skyward, enjoying the twinkling stars, growing moon and the passing of the occasional satellite. It was a fine ushering in of the fall season and a fitting close to a warm and busy summer. As often we do, we talk of other fires and times and faces gone by. Folks have been gathering around campfires in Winterfield Township for a very long time. In fact, just one hundred and sixty years ago just now a small handful of men sat around campfires in our township for three weeks. And theirs was probably the only fire for a good many miles. Through the summer and into fall, a survey crew of five men systematically worked its way along the previously surveyed address, T18N R6W, now known as Winterfield Twp. This crew and several others across the state, were busy that year and the next, verifying original survey lines and subdividing townships into sections; readying the land to usher in the lumbering era and eventual settlement. The first survey of this area was made in 1837 when Michigan was new, marking out counties and townships, no smaller divisions of land. That survey was headed by one Henry Nicholson. It was these measurements which were being examined in the summer and autumn of 1856 by Francis Coleman and his crew. The first measurements Coleman’s crew examined were the lines defining the township. Corrections were made as Coleman was often unable to find old lines, corners or witness posts. Inaccuracies were abundant. It was wondered if the original surveyors had even tackled the daunting task of surveying the new state of Michigan or had even came close to half of the northern counties and townships they were charged with marking. By the time that Coleman and his crew came to the area twenty years later, the county was known by the name Clare. The Irishman Nicholson, to honor his na- What’s Cooking?

STUFFED CABBAGE from Mildred McClung Advertising Rep: Val Kurkerwicz Press Correspondents: Graphic Consultants: Email Us At: [email protected] Winterfield Twp, in pink, from a composite map, showing neighbor Marion Twp. This is as things were in 1915. Carol Cope Ben Murphy, Carol Cope, Julie Traynor, Steve Landon Sherry Landon, Amber Hart & John Raffel Michelle Turner & Val Kurkerwicz Video: Sherry Landon Editor/Publisher: Mike Wilcox John Fleming was Winterfield’s best known early settler, having settled in Section 29 about 1870. The settlement of Grandon also grew in this section. Little went on in the township in the early days that Fleming did not know about. He was the townships’ first supervisor and oversaw the building of the first bridge spanning the Muskegon. Winterfield’s first school was built on Fleming’s property and named for him. By 1880 these still familiar names had settled in Winterfield and were calling it home. Among the early farmer settlers were Obadiah Richardson, John Hamer, farmer and hotelkeeper, George June, Harm Dykstra, David Badgerow, Freeman Howard, the Conklin brothers, Daniel Gallop and Cornelius Balus, who was the first merchant in Temple. Although, as Coleman noted, much of the soil of the pine plains was third rate, farmers were drawn to the area and many were able to eke out a living, raising families, farming and lumbering. On late summer evenings around our fire, we sometimes talk of early Winterfield and her residents, woodsmen and farmers alike. It is easy to sit by the fire with the stars over head and imagine Frances Coleman and his crew sitting by their fire so long ago; resting after a long day and preparing for the next. They are drying boots and sharpening axes for the next days’ work. The fire snaps and dances and the smell of pine smoke is in the air. Stars twinkle overhead. Far off coyotes bay at the moon. We like to think that some things never change. Cooking & Recipes Pour boiling water over corn meal, sugar and salt and mix well. Let stand until meal swells. Add milk and let stand until cool.

Francis Coleman chief surveyor, two chainmen and two axemen commenced at the point on the western boundary of the township, on the Townline 20 between sections 18 and 19 and made their way east, marking the line at increments of one mile. They made their way back and forth, across the township, thus marking, then began, from the southeastern corner of the township, marking section increments north and south, establishing the township grid. Coleman and his crew moved into T20N R6W, or Winterfield, on September 5 and worked for three weeks, finishing survey and notes, September 22, 1856. Within a week, Coleman filed his paperwork, verifying that the job was done, in Big Rapids. The land was measured and ready to be claimed. There were few settlers living in Clare County previous to 1856, however few and far between they may have been. These were men for whom the news of a settler within ten miles meant that the country was becoming tame and crowed. Among them was one Lewis Billings who settled in Winterfield’s Section 13 and could not abide a neighbor. Neither could Elijah Harrington who settled for a time in Summerfield’s Section 11 in 1869. He moved on, leaving his name to be remembered on one of the backwaters of the Muskegon River, the Harrington Bayou. William Babcock, an early immigrant from Canada, settled in Winterfield. He was the township blacksmith and a part time farmer by 1878. He is remembered through the Babcock Bayou. There are also tales of long forgotten trappers with families living all winter long in Winterfield as early as 1850. 1-1/2 lb. ground beef 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 medium size onion 1 cup rice (cooked) 1 egg 9 large cabbage leaves 1 can tomato soup 2 cups water Pour boiling water over cabbage leaves and let stand five (5) minutes.

The first deer season is this Saturday and Sunday with the Liberty Hunt, which emphasizes disabled hunters and the youth, plus the early antler less hunt. “We have two seasons, the same weekend,” northern Michigan DNR wildlife biologist Katie Keen said. “Every year, this causes a little bit of confusion. Early antlerless firearm season is only on select areas that are open and only on private land. The Liberty Hunt is a statewide hunt for youth 16 and under and hunters with disabilities. It’s statewide, private and public land. We have several thousand people that take advantage of this early season.” The DNR handbook notes that this firearm deer hunt will take place on private or public lands in Michigan open to firearm deer hunting, for two days, in the month of September. Veterans with disabilities and individuals with disabilities who qualify, along with youth ages 16 and younger may participate in this hunt. For qualified persons with disabilities, valid licenses include a deer or deer combo license, the DNR notes. To qualify an individual must fit one of the following criteria, provided by the DNR: --Be a veteran who has been determined to have 100-percent disability, or is rated as individually unemployable by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. --Have been issued a permit, by the DNR, to hunt from a standing vehicle. --Have been issued a permit by the DNR to hunt using a laser-sighting device. --Be blind as defined by MCL 393.351. During this two-day hunt, a deer or deer combo license may be used for an antlered or antlerless deer, but Antler Point Restrictions do not apply. A Deer Management Assistance (DMA) permit may also be used to take one antlerless deer only, if issued for the area/land upon which is being hunted, the DNR says. The bag limit for this season is one deer. All hunters participating in this season must wear hunter orange, the DNR adds.

Page 8 - The Press - September 16, 2016 Sports Akney leads Eagles over Manistee Catholic, 42-14 by Ben Murphy Sports Correspondent A week after not liking what he saw from his pass defense, Marion head football coach loved what he saw Friday night, as his Eagles easily handled host Manistee Catholic Central 42-14. “I thought our defense played a lot better this week,” he said of the Western Michigan 8-man Conference win. “We had struggled the week before with our pass defense but this week we ended up with four interceptions so that was a big improvement.” The Eagles wasted little time in taking the lead, as they got an early 53-yard touchdown run by Chuck Akney and a first quarter touchdown run by Brandon Neuman from 18-yards out. In the second, Erick Carey scored on a 20-yard touchdown run to give Marion the 20-7 halftime margin. On one of the first plays of the third quarter Akney put thoughts of a come- back in serious doubt, as he sprinted in from 70 yards out for a score. “That was a nice way to open the half,” Coach Jenema said. “We had a few mistakes in the first half, getting three touchdowns called back which is never good. So, to open the half this way with a score like that was nice.” Also in the second half Austin Edwards had a three yard touchdown plunge and Carey had a 60-yard touchdown romp. “Akney had a great night running the ball, he is a good one-two-punch with Carey,” Coach Jenema said. “Turner came in and gave us some tough yardage too. It really is good that we have more than one back that can hurt people, they can’t just key in on one guy this way.” Akney finished with 209 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries, Carey had 173 yards and he also had eight tackles and two interceptions on defense. Also on defense was Camren Turner with 10 tackles and an intercep- tion, Billy Jenema had eight tackles and Chris Wengert had three sacks. “Wengert played really well on defense, he put a lot of pressure on their quarterback all night, it was good to see him have a good game,” Coach Jenema said. Marion (2-1 overall, 2-0 West Michigan) hosts Traverse City Christian (1-2, 1-1) tonight (Friday) for its homecoming game. TC-Christian is coming off a 52-0 loss to Lawrence last week. The team’s last met in 2014 when both were 11-man teams, in what was a 47-0 Eagle win. “I’m looking forward to it,” Coach Jenema said. “We scrimmaged them before the season started so we’ve seen them already and we feel we match up with them well. They do have a good running back and beat Manistee Catholic Central a couple weeks ago as well. It’s homecoming so it would be nice to win it if we can. It would be nice to be able to go to 3-1 on the season too.” Ramblers stay unbeaten with 32-14 win over Evart by Ben Murphy Sports Correspondent McBain continued to stand tall on the football field Friday night, as it picked up a win in its Highland Conference opener, 32-14 over host Evart. “It’s important to win the first conference game because the conference is competitive and every win goes towards the ultimate goal of winning the conference,” head coach Pat Maloney said. “Our defense played a huge role in stopping a very explosive team. They held two of the fastest running backs in our conference in check for most of the game.” The Ramblers were without senior starting quarterback Logan Eling, who sat the game out with a shoulder injury. Junior Alex Utecht stepped in to take the snaps behind center and McBain didn’t miss a beat. “Adversity always comes along and having Eling out was ours,” Maloney said. “Alex did a great job, he prepared himself and our offense went smooth, even with the change at quarterback.” The Ramblers scored two first quarter touchdowns and added another in the second to take an 18-6 lead at the half. Hunter Ransom scored the first touchdown on an 18-yard carry, Cole Sieland scored from four yards away and Utecht found Logan Vandenboss for a 68-yard strike. In the third, Ransom romped in from 25 yards and Utecht added a late three yard keeper for the final score. Leading the offense was Utecht who was 2-of5 passing for 75 yards and a touchdown and he also had 32 yards on the ground with another score. Hunter Ransom ran 17 times and had 98 yards and two touchdowns, Cole Sieland had 83 yards on 18 tries and Logan Vandeboss had a 68-yard touchdown reception. On defense it was Vandenboss leading the way with 12 tackles and three Sikkema wins the steeplechase mile by Ben Murphy Sports Correspondent The Marion cross country team changed things up a bit when it hosted a steeplechase race on Tuesday. Head coach Jason Keeler was happy with how the first year event went. “It went pretty well thanks to a lot of help from a great crew of parents and volunteers,” he said. “Athletes ran over hay bales, logs and the hills that seem to fill our course. While our times may not have been our best of the season, our effort was excellent.” Keeler pointed out highlights of the night included Kylie Sikkema winning the girls one mile in 7:23 and Alexis Salisbury taking third in the 5-K race at 25:13. Jared Deighton added a second place finish in the boys two mile at 12:55. McBain Northern Michigan Christian also competed in the event, Connor Witbeck was third in the 5-K, Kameryan Koning was eighth, Josh Byard was seventh in the two mile and Johnathan Jenema placed ninth. Carissa Smith was also fourth in the girls one mile.

McBain (3-0 overall, 1-0 Highland) plays its home opener tonight (Friday) against Pine River (2-1, 1-0). The Bucks are coming off a 34-7 victory over Beal City last week in their league opener. McBain won last year’s match-up 28-19. “In order for us to win this week we must tackle and play fundamentally sound on defense,” Ma- loney said. “On offense we need to have great ball security and convert in the red-zone. We can’t afford to leave any points on the field.” by Ben Murphy Sports Correspondent Bucks. NMC took a 4-0 lead a the half and booted in three more goals to coast to the win. Grant Pogue led the way with two goals and one assist, Caiden Platz had one goal and two assists, Carson Bassett, Chase Gernaat and Jordon Mosher had one goal each and Tanner Mulder helped in on two assists. Ben Heuker was in goal, making nine saves. On Friday, NMC picked up a come-frombehind road win at Pentwater, 4-2. Pentwater led 2-0 at the half but the Comets erupted from there, with Grant Pogue and Chase Gernaat netting two goals each. Heuker added 11 saves in goal. On Thursday NMC fell to conference foe Gladwin, 5-0. Heuker and Ezra Dieterman shared time in goal and combined for 15 saves. NMC (5-4 overall, 3-1 NMSL) was at Houghton Lake on Thursday and is at Big Rapids Crossroads on Tuesday.
