Catholic churches will merge on July 1
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Just a little over a year
ago, the Review announced
big changes coming for the
area Catholic ministries.
Those changes are here.
A recent letter from
Parrish Priest Rev. Prentice
A. Tipton, Jr., announced
that on July 1, “St. Cecilia
Catholic Church will merge
with another parish to form
the new, ‘Our Lady of
Hope Parish’.”
The new parish will
include St. Henry Parish in
Rosebush and also incorporate St. Charles Mission
in Leaton, according to the
formal decree from Bishop
Cistone, of the Diocese of
Saginaw, in December.
Core teams, each consisting of four members
from each Parish, have
been working and planning
for the changes, which
will be done throughout
the entire Diocese, since
November of 2011. Their
evaluation was reviewed
by Bishop Cistone, who
made the final decision.
Because a low number
of vocations to the priesthood in the Saginaw Diocese made it impossible to
have priests to minister to
105 parishes, the existing
St. Cecilia will be the main church for the new Our Lady of Hope Parish, which will include St. Henry’s and St. Charles.
parishes were consolidated
into 53 new parishes including Our Lady of Hope.
Since last June, Father
Prentice has been minister
of the “linked Parishes of
St. Cecilia, St. Henry and
St. Charles. Father Prentice came to the area from
St. Elizabeth’s Church
in Reese and St. Norbert
Church in Munger near
Bay City.
He said, “The path to
merger has been a difficult
one for our parish communities. The cessation of the
regular worship services at
our Rosebush and Leaton
sites, which have hosted
weekly Masses for over
one hundred years is
regrettably, very painful for
our members.”
He replaced Father
William James Rutkowski,
who had been pastor of St.
Cecilia’s for three years
and of St. Henry’s and St.
Charles’s Parishes for two
years. Father Rutkowski is
now Vicar General at the
Diocese.
“Father Bill” said in
April, 2013 that only the
Parish name will change.
The Church and School
in Clare will continue to
be St. Cecilia’s and the
Rosebush Church will
continue to be St. Henry’s
and the Leaton Church will
stay named St. Charles.
Rosebush and Leaton
will called “Churches of
Occasional Use,” and be
used for special events like
weddings and funerals and
other activities, he said.
As part of the December
decree, Bishop Cistone
said, “The parish church of
Our Lady of Hope Parish is
to be St. Cecilia Church in
Clare.”
“The next steps,” said
Father Bill, “will be the
formation of the leadership
people of our parishes:
clergy and lay people. This
is taking place by offering
workshops and ‘one-onone’ assistance by Dioce-
san Offices to parishes. We
have already offered workshops on forming Pastoral
and Finance Councils. To
further assist in this task,
information and training
sessions on Evangelization
are being offered regionally too.”
“It is just the beginning
of a very long journey for
us all,” he added, “But it
is a journey of what our
Christian life is all about.”
St Cecilia Mission
Church celebrated its first
mass in 1886 and was
a part of the Diocese of
Grand Rapids. Two years
later it was moved to the

Clinton Cole, 57, of

to the armed robber of

banks last October and
was sentenced in May for
a Cadillac Bank robbery
According to police,
Cole got approximately
$4,300 from Chemical
Bank on Second Street
and later stole about
$7,500 from the Chemical
Bank branch north of Harrison in Hayes Township.
He and Ruth Loomis, 56, of Cadillac were
apprehended north of
Harrison October 2, 2013
after they allegedly fled
from the second Chemical
Bank robbed that day.
Cole was sentenced
last month for robbing
the Wexford Community
Credit Union in Cadillac
earlier that same day. He
will serve 14 to 31 years
in prison for that robbery.
In a joint investigation
with the Clare County
Sheriff’s Department,
Michigan State Police and
FBI from the Saginaw
office, investigators went
to a home in Lake George
where they recovered
over $1,200. The money
was confirmed to have
come from the Cadillac
robbery. A search warrant
at a Cadillac residence
about four blocks from
the Wexford Community Credit Union led
to the discovery of over
$18,000.
Sentencing for the Harrison robberies is scheduled for next month.

Correspondent
After hearing nine
supporters of the Chinese
Immersion program at
Farwell Elementary, the
Farwell Board of Education may consider reinstating the program at a
special meeting Monday
evening.
The program was cut at
the June 2 board meeting,
part of $584,300 pared
from the coming year’s
budget. That cut alone
totaled $214,000.
Joy Grundy was the first
to plead with the board
to amend the evening’s
agenda and reinstate the
program. “I have two
children in the Chinese
Immersion program. I am
asking that you allow us to
support the program. Lets
look at some creative funding options…If we lose
this program the district’s
reputation will suffer. It’s
not too late – let’s build a
plan for funding this program. We can find a way to
make this work.”
Jennifer Smith spoke
next saying, “Look what
we have done in just
seven days. We have raised
$15,500 in pledges. We
have three professional

from utility savings. Clare
County could save as much
as $120,000 annually is the
estimate.
Kleinhardt used the
problems with the boiler
system as an example. New
boilers were installed several years ago that require
attention by a repairman
when something goes awry.
Kleinhardt attempted to
move to hire a part-time
maintenance worker to
which Commissioner Lynn
Grimm pointed out there is
one already.
Earlier this year commissioners approved hiring
a full-time maintenance
person at the sheriff’s department with the stipulation the person would be
on call for other county
buildings. That evidently
has not materialized.
The problem, pointed
out Commissioner Jim Gelios, is “it is up to us to say
what needs to be done.”
LaBoda added that they
are more reactive than
proactive. “Someone needs
to be responsible to check
out things.”
He further said NORESCO “will look at buildings
and tell us what is hanging by the thread. If we
hire them to complete the
project, it will save money
every year.”
With regard to the
Knights of Columbus
building at 212 South
Broad Street, the county
board ratified a bond
resolution to issue capital
improvement bonds for
the purpose of raising up
to $135,000 to acquire the
land and building and make
improvements.
The 4,000 square foot
facility will be designated
as the Harrison meal site
that replaces the Hayes
Township Community Center on Grant Road
which the township plans
to sell.
Senior Services director
Lori Ware said Harrison
has the largest number of
home-delivered meals,
currently at 30,000, of any
meal site in the county.
Although commissioners were disgruntled Drain
Commissioner Carl Parks
didn’t bother to attend the
meeting, they nonetheless voted to authorize the
county treasurer to draw up
a contract loaning the drain
commission $80,000 that
will be repaid to the county
with interest.
The money is to repair
flood damage done to the
Little Tobacco Drain in
April.
Among other matters,
the county board:
APPROVED having the
county pay for a data plan
and cell phone for county
business only to Information Technology specialist
Jim Neff. This arrangement is identical to a plan
provided the I.T. person
working at the sheriff’s department. Commissioners
agreed Neff is on-call for
emergencies. County Clerk
Pam Mayfield suggested
the technical committee
discuss a policy for supplying certain employees with
cell phones. Court personnel receive a $15 stipend.
LaBoda pointed out that
in light of changes in the
Freedom of Information
Act that private cell phones
can become part of an
investigation.
LEARNED from Commissioner Grim that public
health funding falls short of
the regional health department. She also reported
Lincoln Township has

that Area Agency on Aging
funding has fallen because
state allocations are dependant on a population count
of a census. The number

County is rising but not
counted by the census.
LEARNED from Commissioner Karen Lipovsky
she attended a northern
Michigan Association
of Counties conference
where a discussion was
over farmers unable to
hire enough workers to
pick field crops. The pay
is $11 an hour and housing
is provided. Farmers are
recruiting college students
because the number of
migrant workers has fallen.
Commissioner Kleinhardt
noted the failure to settle
immigration policies “affects more on the local
level than you expect.”
RECEIVED a report
from Treasurer Jenny
Beemer Fritzinger that the
City of Clare Downtown
Development Authority will acquire a professional building at 415 N.

purposes. The property was
foreclosed on and the city
has first right of refusal.
Fritzinger also noted that
119 properties are in foreclosure.

from Commissioner Dale

protest the vote [on the
budget cuts] June 2. “On
the superintendent’s list
was elimination of the
business manager,” she
said. “Paula Sullivan is
married to the business
manager, Jacob Sullivan.
Her vote was a conflict
of interest. That should
have been disclosed and
discussed prior to the board
voting. I am asking you to
re-vote without Paula Sullivan. Please amend your
agenda and reinstate the
program.”
Seiter said Tuesday,
“In the list of potential
reductions that you have
outlined in the paper there
are many options available
to the board for consideration. These were options
shared by parents, staff and
administration. All options
totaled over $900,000. The
board detailed $584,300
in reductions. This means
that many of the potential reductions were not
deemed feasible.”
He continued, “At the
June 2nd meeting, the
board was presented with
four budget scenarios
based on discussions at
budget workshops and previous board meetings. The
option where I was to take
over the business manager duties in addition to
being superintendent was
presented and discussed
by the board at budget
workshops and at a regular
board meeting. This was
not viewed as a viable option by the board. Based on
lack of support from any
of the board members as a
viable option, this item was
not presented on June 2nd
in any of the four scenarios. What Mrs. Sullivan
voted on at the June 2nd
meeting did not contain
this item. There is no basis
for the claim of conflict of
interest.”
After everyone who
wanted to speak had
finished, Board President
Rose Sharp said, “Thank
you all for your comments.”
Board member Duffy
Doxtader commented, “If
we cut band, would we
not look at it and see if we
could reinstate band?
Board member John
Gross also thanked the
parents for coming and
speaking. “You have given
us a lot to think about,” he
said. “I still feel we need to
do what’s best for all students.” He said, “We need
another meeting before
the 30th.” Irene Hanner
agreed.
The board agreed to
hold another Special
Meeting next Monday at 7
p.m. on the cuts before the
June 30 Special Meeting
to adopt the coming year’s
budget.
Superintendent Carl
Seiter said, “We have to
adopt a budget by July 1.”
He asked board member
to give him ideas on what
else could be cut in the
budget if the program were
re-instated before the meeting Monday, so he and Sullivan could prepare a list of
cuts for the board.
Changes to the 2013-14
budget were approved by
the board. Business Manager Sullivan presented a
list of the changes to the
board including an increase
in revenues by $400,663
and an increase in expenditures of $601,173. The
year ended with the district
using $592,418 of the
available fund balance and
leaving a $473,912 fund
balance to begin the next
year.
Based on the board’s
approval of cuts at the
last meeting, Sullivan
also presented a tentative budget for the 20142015 year with a total of
$12,256,980 in revenue
and $12,433,190 in expenditures. The budget would

Feds tell me to
prove I’m a citizen
Man, I hate how government can muck up the
simplest things. I got an
official letter the other day,
demanding that I prove
I’m an American citizen.
I couldn’t believe what I
was reading. In my lifetime
I’ve probably paid the feds
a half million dollars in
income tax. I’ve had a social security number since
I was 10. And I’ve voted
in nearly every election,
not to mention I’ve had a
driver’s license for nearly
40 years.
In order, however, to
take advantage of the great
deals Obamacare has to
offer, you have to be an
American citizen, and I
guess there is no proof that
I am.
Okay I admit, I went
back on my word. I wrote
last year that I would
never buy in to Obama
Care. Well, after my
individual insurance plan
was cancelled and my wife
had several health issues,
I decided to knock on
Obama’s healthcare door.
We actually purchased a
decent plan for about the
same money I was paying
for my other plan.
But now it’s in jeopardy
because the taxes I’ve paid,
the politicians I’ve voted
for, or the driver’s license
I possess do not provide
the proof necessary for
the federal government to
determine I am a citizen..
Here’s a list of some of
the items that do provide
proof:
-a tribal enrollment card
-A certificate of degree
of Indian blood
Or any two of the following:
-U.S. citizen ID card
-Northern Mariana card
-Religious record showing U.S. place of birth
-Federal or state census
record showing U.S. citizenship
-a divorce decree,
property deeds or titles, or
marriage certificate
Can our government be
any more ridiculous? Why
wouldn’t a social security
card or driver’s license suffice? How about a voter’s
registration card? How
about, federal government,
looking through your vast
storage of documents,
and identifying that I am
indeed a citizen, before
sending out such a ridiculous demand?
I guess we will see what
happens. The demand
letter says I must provide
them documentation within
30 days or I will lose my
health insurance policy. Oh
well I guess I’ll be shopping for health insurance
again. What a mess our
federal bureaucracy has
made.
Unfortunately some of
that mess has filtered down
to the state level as well.
Here’s a great example.
We’ve received a couple
of very official looking letters from the State Police
Criminal Justice Center in
the last week. Looking at
them made me very concerned. When I opened the
first one up and began to
read I realized it concerned
a request we made for a
picture of a two-car collision in Leroy.
I thought it was very
unusual for the state cop
to tell us to file a written
request. Usually, or should
I say always, the Sheriff’s
Department and State Police share information and
photos with us all the time.
This officer wasn’t about
to be cooperative, and told
us to email his superiors.
Well three weeks later
mind you, we get this official letter asking us to fill
out a bunch of information
so that they could determine whether to fulfill our
request or not. Being a
newspaper that had already
published the story weeks
ago, we got a chuckle from
their lack of timeliness.
Two days later we got
a second letter denying
our request. That denial
provided an even larger
chuckle. We ask for a
simple picture- one that is
ALWAYS provided by local cops, and the State Police determine three weeks
later we can’t have it.
Again, bureaucracy at
its worst. It took someone
a couple of hours to type
the two letters and to mail
them off. It took someone
time to determine whether
we had a valid request or
not, when a simple return
email saying yay or nay
would have sufficed.
Government at the
federal and state levels is
a mess. Common sense
rarely prevails. It’s a shame
ordinary citizens have to
put up with so many levels
of incompetence.
Just Thinking
Just last weekend I had
to rush around and get a
birthday card mailed out
for granddaughter Kristina.
Her birthday was Tuesday and I almost forgot.
I have an excuse. Together with Father’s Day
last Sunday, the brand new
triathlon this weekend in
Harrison plus a whole slew
of activities there, an upcoming 4th of July holiday
complete with a Wildwest
show this year in Clare and
the Summerfest celebration in Clare that starts next
week, this time of year is
pretty busy.
Summer is in full swing
once again.
And this is the second
round of family birthdays
and special dates for this
clan. Most of the others
happen mid-January to
mid-March.
My Dad, who has been
gone since 1976, would
have been 122 years old
this month on June 27th. I
may be getting pretty old,
but I was the baby of that
family!
Jack’s stepsister Colleen celebrates her birthday
today (June 20); nephew
Mike, gone now for many
years, would have celebrated his on July 3; Brother
Jim was born on the Fourth
of July; and son Don will
reach the ripe old age of 47
on July 5.
Jack’s brother Brent is
next. His birthday is on the
20th, but we won’t mention
how old he is getting –
after all he is Jack’s little
brother.
Also gone now for
twenty years, their mom’s
birthday was on July 25th,
but we never could keep
those two dates straight.
One year Jack sent Brother
Brent a card a whole month
ahead of time, and missed
his mom’s completely.
Brother Brent’s granddaughters Rowen and
Alyssa have July birthdays
too – on the 17th and 18th
of the month.
I’m not done yet. Jacks
youngest brother Gary,
who died two years ago,
celebrated his birthday on
August 5; my sister-in-law
Ginny will have hers on
August 9th and Granddaughter Sammi’s birthday
falls on the 18th of August,
which is also my Brother
Jim’s wedding anniversary.
There are three more
dates to remember in
September, granddaughter
(in law sort of) Ada’s is on
the 9th, Lisa and Terry’s
anniversary is the 13th and
Brent’s other granddaughter Tatum has a birthday on
the 24th.
Sounds like a confusing eight or nine weeks,
doesn’t it? If you are
wondering how I manage
to keep all of that straight,
I don’t. I have it all written
down. Actually I can barely
remember my own birthday
and once not too long ago,
Jack and I both forgot our
own anniversary!
Even with a list, I’ll bet
I forget someone (or two)
before the summer is over.
I send out more belated
cards than anyone I know.
Meantime, we are
busy with work, summer
projects (we have a list,
remember?) and planning
for our vacation which is
coming up pretty soon.
I am hoping to spend a
few days up at the camper
relaxing, but guess what?
Jack has a to-do list for
up there too. He sure is a
work-aholic…
There just doesn’t seem
to ever be enough time to
do all of the things we plan
for this brief summer season. And, every year seems
to slip by just a little faster
than the one before.
Remember when you
were a kid and summer
seemed to last forever?
It seemed like you had
unlimited days and weeks
just to have fun. Once you
reach adulthood all of that
seems to change and at
some point in your life you
just wake up and realize
that time is flashing by
faster and faster until you
sometimes aren’t quite sure
what time of year it is!
Maybe as a kid your
mind is emptier (something I get accused of now
actually) and as it fills up
with life experiences, you
start overloading until you
begin to lose a few things
here and there. You are so
busy living and trying to
get things done that you
don’t even notice the time
slipping by…
That’s why my philosophy is that vacations should
be slow time to relax and
smell the flowers or walk
in the woods, or read a
good book…
And I’m looking forward to it.

ETS offers kudos
to top students
The Educational Talent
Search program (ETS),
administered by Mid
Michigan Community
College, intends to increase
the number of Clare and
Gladwin County students
who complete college
degrees. Program membership has grown to over 500
6-12th grade students since
MMCC received its grant
funding in 2012. Students
from Clare, Harrison, Gladwin, Farwell, Beaverton,
and Coleman Schools are
eligible.
Through the ETS program, students also receive
waivers for college application fees, ACT retakes, and
they can take advantage of
exclusive scholarships for
ETS students.
“The ETS program supports students who want to
make their college dreams a
reality,” says ETS Program
Director Marliee Kujat.
In fact, in 2014, ETS’
membership included 11

Tigers on FM radio
By Rosemary Horvath
Correspondent
If your network TV or
pricey TV subscription service won’t pick up Detroit
Tiger games, dust off your
radio and tune to WQBX
104.9 to hear games for
free.
“No subscription necessary,” chuckled station
owner and general manager Jim Sommerville whose
company signed with the
ball club’s flagship station
WXYZ-Detroit to broadcast games over three
seasons.
Tigers sell rights to a
station to broadcast games
then that station lines up
affiliates around the state.
“If all goes well we’ll
continue to carry them,”
Sommerville said.
About 13 years ago, the
FM station went from 3000
to 6000 watts.
WQBX coverage area is
shaped like a vinyl record
with Harrison at the top
and Lansing at the bottom.
Radio frequency can
be picked up in Isabella
County and most of Clare
County except around
Lake where Sommerville
said the FCC allowed a
Christian station to drop in
on 104.9.
The station carried Tiger
games from the 70s until
the late 90s when the affiliation fee got “extremely
high and the team was not

“Foot and Ankle Specialists”
Where Happy Feet are created!
Do Your Heels Hurt?
If you have burning pain in the arch or heel you probably have plantar
fascitis. Plantar fascitis is the most common cause of heel pain. It can
be especially painful during the first few steps after getting out of bed
in the morning or anytime after periods of rest. Microfiber tearing of the
tissue causes inflammation which produces pain. 95% of the time this
condition can be treated without surgery! Conservative treatments may
include not walking barefoot, stretching, taping and padding of the arch,
supportive lace up shoes, arch supports, ice, cortisone injection, oral
medication, physical therapy and night splints. At the Foot and Ankle
Specialists we will provide you with an appropriate treatment plan fitted
to your individual needs.

Local band announces
“American Pride” concert
The Gateway Community Band will perform its
10th annual Independence
Day concert titled “American Pride” on Friday, June
27th at Clare’s Shamrock
Park Pavilion. Beginning
at 8:00 pm this all volunteer
organization will provide
a full program of music
reflecting our nation’s
heritage both historical and
cultural. From the moving
American favorite “Battle
Hymn of the Republic” to
the light and cheerful “Fantasy on Yankee Doodle”,
this concert will provide
a great variety of popular
patriotic tunes. Among the
other titles to be presented
are “America, the Beautiful” and “American Civil
War Fantasy” which provides a musical anthology
of that great struggle in our
nation’s history. A salute to
New Orleans jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong is
reflected in an arrangement
labeled “Satchmo” and a
gospel rock tune “Put Your
Hand in the Hand” will also
be presented. An important
focus of our American Pride
will be a musical salute to
our service men and women
both past and present with
a medley of service songs
from the military’s five
branches. Nearly 60 musicians will be on hand performing this free concert.
Bring your lawn chairs and
your friends to the pavilion whether rain or shine.
Fireworks provided by the
Clare Summerfest Committee will follow at dusk.
For more information about
the band, see their website

Continued from page 1A
cemetery was dedicated ten
years later.
After a 1924 fire that
completely destroyed the
church, in 1925 construction began on a new St. Cecilia Church and by 1929
Father Stanley Morrison
became the first resident
pastor in 1929.
In 1950 a parish school
and convent for the Felician
Sisters was constructed.
The school eventually grew
enough that the Sisters
moved across the street.
Today the school continues
to enroll students in grades
preschool to fourth.
St. Cecilia Church became a part of the Diocese
of Saginaw in 1971 and in
1988 construction began on
a larger church, while the
church built in 1925 was
renovated as a parish hall.
The hall is still adorned
with the original stained
glass windows. The new
church was dedicated in
1989.
St. Henry‘s Parish of
Rosebush began in October, 1874 as the Catholic
Mission of Vernon. Masses
were said originally in Vernon in the homes of Catholic and later were held on a
centrally located farm east
of the present church.
Construction of St. Henry Church began in 1886
and the dedication and first
Mass were held in the new
church in December 1887.
St Henry’s became an
independent parish in 1905.
St. Henry’s school building was built by 1915 and
opened that fall.
The church burned in
1922 and a new church was
built in stages and completed in 1941.
St. Charles in Leaton
was organized in 1906
and the little church – 30
feet by 48 feet – was built.
By 1919, the building had
stained glass windows,
a small vestibule and a
church bell.
St. Charles was linked
to St. Henry’s Church in
1929. New sacristies and
a sanctuary were added in
1942.
Father Prentice said,
“As we look back on the
history of the three parish
communities, we realize
we have much for which to
be thankful. Some remarkable men and women have
led us, worshipped with us,
sacrificed for Christ and the
Gospel, and left us a very
rich legacy that we can
continue to draw upon in
the future.”

$1,000
for
CCYC
Children from Hillside Elementary and
Clare Primary schools
recently collected more
than $1,000 in change for
the Clare County Youth
Council (CCYC); the
county’s local child abuse
and neglect prevention
council.
The classes that collected the most change included Mrs. Azelton-Lee’s
class at Clare Primary
and Mrs. Jensen’s class at
Hillside Elementary. Both
classes were awarded
with a pizza party. The
CCYC also gave every
student in each school a
popsicle in appreciation
for their participation. The
change was then rolled
by students in the ClareGladwin Transition Class,
a program of Clare-Gladwin RESD.
The CCYC would like
to thank all of the students
and schools involved for
their efforts in preventing
child abuse and neglect in
Clare County.

What a beautiful time of
the year June is. We waited
12 months for it to roll
around and so quick it’s
gone again! We tend to get
caught up in our everyday life events and things
such as fishing, gardening, camping, field work,
traveling or just plain
enjoying the summer and
its beauties!

It keeps the sun off in the
summer, the snow off in

frost and dew and wind and
much more!
In fact, our roof is probably as important to us as

ing system is.
First, never do we want
to screw a metal roof into
OSB or plywood (unless
its 7/8” thick or more)
Since the lamination of the
materials is not sufficient
to hold a screw let alone
with the uplift pressure of
storms, etc!
So fastening into the
sheathing is more or less
like a temporary roof system, the ideal way to fasten
a metal roof is to first put
purlins on the existing roof
deck, (never over more
than 2 layers of shingles).
Preferably the purlins
whether they are 114 or
214 should be fastened
with treated deck screws
3” long or longer. Nails
have a tendency to work
themselves loose over time
or in severe storms can pull
much easier than a screw!
In general screws have
much greater pull out
power than similar sized
nails! This article is written

Golf Tips

place 5th
By Thom Slusher
Clare County’s PGA Pro
FAST
GREENS
You are excited about
playing that golf course
that is on your “must play”
list. The top rated golf
courses have a common
trait which is large, fast,
and undulating greens. It
can be frustrating to hit
good shots at these courses
and then three putt or
worse on the greens. Here
are a few thoughts on
how to putt better on fast
greens.
The first thing to
understand is the concept
for getting the right speed
on your putts. Length of
swing determines distance.
Greens that are speedy
require less swing. Try to
avoid thinking softer or
lighter. Change the length
of the swing to adjust for
the speed.
Second, take
into account if you
are going uphill or
downhill. This becomes
a little more difficult to
see on new courses and
ones with a lot of elevation
changes. Downhill putts
on fast greens roll typically
far more than expected.
Uphill putts are hard to
get to the hole because
we become gun shy from
going past on the level and
downhill putts. The main
thing is to make sure you
know if it is level, downhill, or uphill. Then allow
your brain to recalculate
the distance.
Lastly, try visualizing
cups in different areas to
help you get it close to
the hole. For example,
I may have a 15 foot
slippery downhill putt. I
may imagine a hole five
feet above where the hole
is and try to stop the ball
there. By trying to putt
to the imaginary hole it
usually trickles past that
spot and gets close to the
real hole. The same theory
works when going uphill.
Imagining a hole two feet
past the real hole can help
you give it a chance to go
in. 99.9 percent of putts
that don›t get to the hole
don›t go in.
Use these tips to
help you tackle those fast
greens. It will help make
your golf excursion more
enjoyable. Make a long
one for me!

Triathlon athletes to run Harrison course June 22
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
The “Friends of Clare
County Parks and Recreation” will be hosting
the first Middle O’ Mitten
Triathlon this Sunday at
Wilson State Park in Harrison.
The event will feature swim, bike and run
courses for area athletes
and a special free youth
event following the adult
races.
Committee Chair Don
Kolander said, “We are
doing this first-ever event
to bring people into the
community and show
them the benefits of our
parks and the recreation
available in the county.”
Committee member
Dave Coker is organizing
the event through Tri To
Finish, an organization
developed to bring professionally run race events to
the Midwest. He said they
will be managing the triathlon itself, which will be
headquartered at Wilson
State Park Campground.
“This is one of only
two events organized by
local groups in Michigan,” Coker said. “It’s
our own event. All of our
profits will go to Clare
County Parks and Recreation.”
He continued, “We are
expecting approximately
150 athletes to participate
in the triathlon Sunday.
We’re also expecting this
will be one of the number one events in Clare
County each year if it is
a success this year, but to
make it a success, we still
really need volunteers to
help during the event. To
volunteer go to the Tri To
Finish website at tritofinish.com/events/middle-omitten-2014.
Coker said he and the
Friends of Clare Parks and
Recreation are sponsoring “Team Maddy” in
the triathlon Sunday and
for a camping weekend.
The team consists of
15-year-old Maddy, who
has cerebral palsy, and her
father Rick VanBeek of
Grand Rapids who tows
her in a kayak during the
swim event, tows her in
a special trailer on the
bike ride, and pushes her
during the run. Visit their
Facebook page at Team
Maddy. The two have
participated in more than
100 triathlons together
since 2009.
Starting time for adults
will be 8 a.m. on June
22 at Wilson State Park
where a triangular swim is
scheduled. Sprint distance
athletes will complete
one lap, while Olympic
distance athletes will complete two laps.
The bike event will be
on an open road course
after heading out of the
park with a hilly, smooth
and fairly straight course.
The run event takes
athletes the opposite
direction when leaving
the park. Athletes will run
counter-clockwise around
Budd Lake. Both the
Sprint and Olympic run
events are out and back.
Sprint Triathlon participants will swim .75 km;
bike for 20 km and run
6.0 km. (2-3 person relay
available).
Olympic Triathlon
athletes will swim 1.5
km; bike 40 km, and run
10 km. (2-3 person relay
available).
Duathon distances will
be a 6 km run, a 20 km
bike race and another
6 km run. (2-3 person
relay available).
This event is also
special in that it includes a
youth triathlon to be held
shortly after the completion of the adult triathlon.
“The courses are not to
taxing for any healthy
child,” Coker said. “We
want to encourage youngsters to participate too.”
Kids will complete a
shorter, youth-appropriate
distance event with volunteers lining the swim
course and assisting in
transition.
The goal of the event
is to expose children to
triathlon, help them build
confidence and have fun.
Kids who want to compete a bit harder may enter
the Youth Open Division,
where rules are strictly
enforced and the event is
timed.
Youngsters ages 5 and

to the Michigan State Police Training
Academy in Lansing.
Students tour jail,
MSP Academy
Local high school juniors and seniors from the
Clare-Gladwin Career Center’s Criminal Justice class,
a program of Clare-Gladwin RESD, explored the
variety of careers available
to them in the law enforcement field through visits
to the Gladwin County Jail
and the Michigan State
Police Training Academy
in Lansing.
At the jail, students
viewed the construction
of the jail, interviewed the
corrections officers, and
witnessed how the inmates
lived day-to-day while
incarcerated.
The Michigan State
Police Training Academy
offered the juniors and seniors an overview of what
recruits experience when
becoming a trooper, as well
as a tour of the firing range,
pool, gym, and drive
track. “The students also
received a K-9 demonstration,” said Clare-Gladwin
Career Center Criminal
Justice Instructor DJ Newman. “They watched the
dog find cocaine in a training car and learned that the
MSP’s cadaver dogs can
sniff out corpses that are as
deep as 55 feet underwater.
It was very neat!”
Criminal Justice is one
of nine career and technical education (CTE)
programs offered to local
high school juniors and seniors at the Clare-Gladwin
Career Center, a program
of Clare-Gladwin RESD.
Students spend half of
their regular school day in
CTE and the other half at
their local high school. For

Sleep Sack project
receives two grants
Tomorrow’s Child website says “Despite aggressive efforts to reduce the
infant mortality rate in
Michigan, last year over
800 babies did not survive
to their first birthday and
500 were stillborn.
This translates to more
than four deaths every
day this year in Michigan.
While Michigan is one
of the most progressive,
industrialized states in the
union, our infant mortality rate ranks among the
worst in the nation.”
Clare County Baby
Pantry (CCBP) hopes to
prevent this heartbreak
with their Sleep Sack Exchange program.
In working with the local Child Abuse/Neglect
(CAN) council, Clare
County Youth Council, CCBP applied for a
grant in April from the
Clare County Community Foundation (CCCF)
to help fund a Sleep Sack
for each infant in Clare
County.
According to the U.S.
Census numbers, it is estimated that 350 infants
are born in Clare County
each year.
The CCCF has authorized two grants for this
project.
ClareYAC has awarded
CCBP $1500 for this project. ClareYAC is a project
of CCCF and is made possible through the Council
of Michigan Foundations
and supported by a grant
from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation.
The second grant is
from the Brighter Futures Fund of CCCF. The
Clare County Community
Foundation strengthens
our community by providing leadership, fostering collaboration on
local needs and issues,
and encouraging a legacy
of giving through grants,
scholarships, and events.
How will the Sleep
Sack Exchange work?
The first step will be
for new mothers to receive their voucher at the
hospital where their baby
is delivered.
The second step will be
for these mothers to come
to the CCBP to receive
their free Sleep Sack. The
sleep sacks will be gender
neutral, but there will be
different weights: microfiber for cooler weather
and 100% cotton for
warmer weather, and different sizes.
The next step is for
Funds
for the
fair
from
Surrey
Point
the families to return to
CCBP to exchange the
nearly outgrown sleep
sack for a larger size. The
most critical time of use
for the Sleep Sacks is the
first six months of life.
Although the grants are
very generous, they still
do not cover the total cost
of the project.
Please consider supporting
this
SLEEP
SACK
EXCHANGE
project with a donation to
Clare County Baby Pantry.
For $10 dollars you
can buy a Sleep Sack
for one infant. Mail your
donation to Clare County Baby Pantry, 211 W
Spruce Street, Harrison,
MI 48625, or come in for
a visit when the pantry is
open Wednesdays from
10 to 3.
