By Pat Maurer Correspondent Mike Becker is happy and excited. He is looking forward to an exciting time in his life. On June 4th he will board a plane and travel across the United States. On June 5th he will meet his birth mother, who he hasn’t seen since he was three weeks old – nearly 72 years ago. He has been searching for her for about ten years, he said, since the death of his adoptive mother. “I didn’t want to hurt my Mom,” he said, “but I have always wondered about my birth mother.” Until this March his search hadn’t been very successful. With the help of good friend Earline Bowen-Long and his daughter Cheylene, they searched records in Lansing, eventually finding some information like his birth name – Max Garwood Fisher – and his birth mother’s maiden name Dorothy Fisher. “We didn’t know her married name,” he said. Since the adoption records were sealed, they had a hard time finding out more, but kept trying. “It’s not easy when you are adopted,” he said. Earline, who visits regularly, has put together a book with all of the information they have garnered about his adoption. Then he met Kathleen Jackson of Clare, a Genealogist who offered to help. “That was on March 12th at a book signing,” he said. “She knew exactly what to do. Two days later, Kathleen called and said ‘I’ve found your mother.’” He said he wasn’t even sure if she would still be alive. Now 86 years old, Dorothy (Fisher) Hemminger is alive and so is her husband of 65 years.

Mike’s birth mother was only 14 when he was born, he said. “I was born in the Florence Crittenden Home in Jackson.” At three weeks old he went to live with foster parents Wilson and Margaret Becker, who adopted him about a year later. “The adoption would have been final sooner,” Mike said, “but my father was in the service overseas. That made it hard to get all of the paperwork done.” Mike’s (adoptive) dad was a Greyhound bus driver. “We lived all over Michigan, mostly in the lower part of the state,” he said. “When I was 14 we moved up here.

Did you ever hear of Max Garwood Fisher?’ She said, ‘Yes, that was my baby boy.’” Since then the plans have been made for Mike, daughter Cheylene and friend Earline to fly out and meet the family he never knew he had. He not only has a mother, but five siblings, who are waiting to meet him. “My daughter made all of the arrangements and is taking time from her job to go with me,” he said. One of his “new” sisters, Brea, is making arrangements for their four-day visit there. “Three of my siblings live there in Springfield, one lives in Washington and one in Florida.” Mike Oregon Lawn Mower Blades Starting at Lumber, OSB, Trusses, Doors & Concrete Blocks Photo by Christin Hofweber Mike Becker, shown here with good friend Earline Bowen-Long, is holding a book about his adoption.

Many volunteers donated their time. It takes a lot of hands to pull off fund raisers.” There have been raffles and dances and other events in addition to straight forward donations. Rood is aware of the expenses the family faces such as travel expenses to medical appointments and to pick up the DAD when the time comes. Name of their Facebook page is “Anton’s Fight Against Diabetes.” They also have a page on the free fundraising platform called You Caring that has raised $1,985 By Rosemary Horvath Correspondent While the Hamilton Township Williams family looks forward to adopting an alert dog for their 8 year-old son diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, it appears the community has adopted the Williams family. The family’s Facebook page has kept well-wishers abreast of their son Anton’s daily battle and the wait for a trained dog from Heads Up Hounds, the Louisville, Nebraska organization that trains rescue dogs to function as diabetic alert dogs. For two years, local events have raised money toward the purchase of a DAD for which parents Tara and Chris Williams applied a $1,500 deposit just to get added to a waiting list. They pay $6,000 on the day they pick up the dog which is estimated to be sometime between December 2015 and April 2016. The Harrison Moose learned of the family’s plight and asked Maye Rood, who is known for her organizational skills to head up a campaign. And she did. To date the total is $18,500 and counting. “Service organizations in Clare County and outside the county have Anton Williams is thankful for the communities support helping to raise funds to furnish him with a trained dog capable of detecting sugar levels. Read News Online! clarecountyreview.com so far. DADs are trained to alert diabetic owners in advance of low or high blood sugar and trained to react to a chemical change. Type 1 diabetes once known as juvenile diabetes is occurs when the immune system attacks the pancreas and the body fails to produce insulin. Children and young adults are affected. Along with the DAD comes a door bell mat the dog is trained to trigger that sets off a siren to alert a family during the night. “They are trained like seeing eye dogs,” Rood said. “The dog can accompany Anton in public places.” Rood had been successful previously heading up fund raisers to replace a canine unit for the Clare County Sheriff’s Department. Her son Luke Tessner is a dog handler and trainer. He and Deputy Larry Kahsin are the department’s K-9 team. Rood beams describing the generosity the community has shown. She first set a goal of $15,000 after reviewing expenses both now and in the future, including the 10-day training session Anton has to go through. “Everyone has done an amazing job,” she said. As one donor said, “we have to stick together. I couldn’t be prouder of the Harrison community.” Contract expires, 9 & 10 no longer on Dish Network By Pat Maurer Correspondent Local news and weather won’t be available to some satellite television viewers now.

The City approved another payment to Dunigan Brothers at the meeting for $297,472, bringing their total to $2,151,566.38 of the original $2,281,821.80 budget. Sewer and Water construction are both more than 90 percent complete with general infrastructure lagging a little behind that. “They are ahead of schedule,” City Treasurer Steven Kingsbury said. The new water tower is scheduled to be completed this fall, with the schedule at 63 percent for Maguire Iron. Kingsbury also sail road construction should begin again within the next couple of weeks, weather permitting. Parts of Colonville Road will be replaced and an overlay on the nearly one mile stretch will finish that part of the work. Work on the new Consumer’s Energy Service building is also progressing well. The City also got some good news with the information that they are eligible to apply for another Michigan Council for the Advancement of Culture and Arts grant for the Clare Depot renovation. Kingsbury said, “We didn’t believe we would be eligible to apply for the next round of funding as the current grant is still open. We were informed this week we are eligible and can apply. The Commission gave their approval to make the application for a $75,000 grant. Another grant application is also planned. Other business at the Clare City meeting included: *Awarding a Wetlands Mitigation Contract, through the City’s fiveyear development plan for the Clare Municipal Airport. Federal grants funds total $150,000 annually with the City’s share at five percent. The Commission awarded the contract for $153,046 to Wonsey Tree Service Inc.

The press release said, “Dish Network is using their status as a Fortune 500 company, headquartered in Colorado, to bully Heritage Broadcasting, a locally owned Michigan Company. Dish Network is attempting to use their vast corporate wealth to dictate the terms and conditions of a new contract.” They continued, “Although Heritage Broadcasting is a mere fraction of the size of Dish Network, Heritage Broadcasting will not be bullied by a large corporation such as Dish Network.” Heritage said, “We hope to reach an amicable contract as soon as possible and apologize to all our viewers for the inconvenience. 9&10 News continues to be available over the air and on DirecTV, Charter and on virtually every cable television provider.” They said viewers can contact Dish Network at (888) 656-2461 to voice their concerns.

Thanks to those who served before and since the birth of this great nation 239 years ago we are able to enjoy the freedoms we have today. On Memorial Day 2015 members of the Farwell VFW Post 5738 joined area veterans and fellow Americans to pay tribute to those fallen heroes and honor those veterans still with us. A brief parade led by the Farwell VFW Post 5738 color guard featured the Farwell High School band, Sheriff’s posse, local boys and girl scouts, Hillyards Tree Service, Hamilton’s Garage, Wernette’s Farm, Joshua Schuler drove a truck featuring pictures of fallen and others who marched heroes in the Farwell Memorial Day parade. east down Main Street Photo courtesy of Tracy Lee before gathering in front of the Veterans Memorial at the city park for services. This year’s program included traditional wreath laying ceremonies, prayers, patriotic music by the band, a gun salute, speeches by veterans and area dignitaries and the playing of Taps. The Red Hat Strutter’s closed out the program with a special tribute to Veterans and the armed services Predicted Thundershowers during the program failed to materialize, in fact mother-nature treated those on hand to sunshine and warm temperatures until Little Aiden Lee took a ride in his wagon during the parade after the service. to pay tribute the veterans.

He has lived in the same place on Herrick Road since 1966 with his wife of 45 years, Sheila, who died in 2011, a victim of cancer. Mike and Sheila adopted a daughter themselves. “My daughter Cheylene just located her own birth mother,” he said. He said Cheylene’s mother is from Beaverton and she found she has a sister and a brother. “I say we are ‘second generation’ adopted,” he said with a smile. Mike’s daughter is a Vice President of JD Norman Industry in Troy. She is married to Robert Varto and now Mike has two grandchildren Kira 12, and Cole 6. Mike retired from the Clare Police Department in ’86 when he developed Multiple Sclerosis. Now confined to a wheelchair, he has multiple health issues – MS, Diabetes, heart disease and “post-polio.” Members of the Farwell VFW Post 5738 Honor Guard watch over the Farwell Veterans Memorial during Monday’s program at the Farwell Village Park. Photo by Steve Landon He had polio when he was six and the disease returned recently, limiting the use of his left arm. Despite all that, Mike is optimistic about life and doesn’t let anything get him down. “You only get done in when you give up,” he said. “You have to keep on keeping on.” He added, “ I always say be good. If you can’t be good, be better.” He has been keeping on. “I have to keep busy and get out and see people,” he said. For more than 20 years after his retirement he was a driver for the Amish community and although he is no longer able to do that, he still gives occasional rides to help out friends and neighbors. He also writes poetry and is a talented artist in pencil and charcoal. His book of poetry and illustrations, “Words Not Bullets” has just been published, and will soon be available in area businesses. “It is about my life and time as a policeman. After all aren’t words better than bullets? That was my philosophy as police chief. That’s what a small town is all about.” con SURREY a Bulk B b. 1.69LBLbox 15 DISCOUNT r Ja Peppe ck C $ heese . .25 Lb 2 OODS FOO LLC CEREAL • COFFEE • POPCORN CANNED VEGETABLES PRODUCE • BAKING SUPPLIES MEATS • CHEESE DAIRY PRODUCTS • PIZZA 989-802-1245 8989 Tobacco Dr. • Clare, MI 48617 Hours: Monday-Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Veterans performed an honorary 21 gun salute during the Memorial Day ceremonies at Farwell Village Park Monday morning.

Pleasant (not pictured) were the winners of the mural design for the east side of the American Cleaners building in the Art Alley project. ing Lesley Smoltz and Shelby Mercer, also contributed to the final design making it the culmination of a variety of ideas. The final design will now go to the Clare Downtown Development Authority for their final approval on June 5th and the next step is a Public Education session on Saturday, June 13 at 11 a.m. at the 515 Gallery to explain the process for putting the design on the wall. This session is free and open to the public, but those planning to attend should call 989-386-2442 to preregister with the Clare Area Chamber of Commerce or email them at manager@ claremichigan.com to ensure there are enough materials for everyone. Construction and painting the new mural project is scheduled to begin in mid-June. According to an earlier interview with Pam O’Laughlin, Manager of the Clare Area Chamber of Commerce, “The Art Alley is the first piece of a whole plan to enhance the alley as a visitor’s destination and will also tie it to several other art and architectural projects around Clare to create “Art-Traction, a bike-able, walkable tour around the city that will give both visitors and community members a greater arts and culture footprint in Clare.” The mural project is funded in part through a grant from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs. This new mural is the second beautification project for the alley. A beautiful mosaic design already adorns the back of the 515 Gallery, inspired and completed by Mrs. Kim Kleinhardt’s art students at the Clare High School just a couple of years ago. Volunteer and materials are needed for the mural project, O’Laughlin said. “Whether you have a full can or a partial can of latex paint, any color, we will be happy to accept your donation. These can be dropped off at the Backdoor of The Venue during Revive Business Hours only. Please alert Lauren that you are dropping off paint.” She said ceramic, glassware and jewels are also needed for the mosaic portion of the design. They can be dropped off at the n backdoor of the 515 Gallery. Exterior concrete finishers and construction experts will be needed to prepare the building surface to accept the design and monetary donations are also being accepted and can be made to the Clare Area Chamber of Commerce with a designation to “Art Alley.” O’Laughlin continued, “The Art Alley represents an opportunity to showcase the talent of the many individuals in our community who contribute to this project. We thank them for their support of this cultural endeavor. She added that Kim Kleinhardt of the 515 Gallery has been instrumental in making this project happen. d Greenhous n E s e w’ o b Ra i Another step in the process of making Clare a truly unique destination is underway. May 16 two winning artists were announced for the design of the new Art Alley mural on the east side of the Clare American Cleaners building, a community project to enhance the assets in the alley behind the businesses on the west side of McEwan and create an inspiring path for both the community and visitors. Designs were submitted by April 28th and on April 30th a special Design Committee met to review the entries and determine the final design winner. Two designs were selected and they were “rolled into one.” The winners are Julie Wells of Harrison, an artist, teacher and historian whose design incorporates the significance of the railroad in the development of the area; and Al Wildey Professor of Photography at Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, and world renowned photographic artist, whose design is an advanced photographic technique that blends photo elements of the people from this area.

I travel back in forth from Alabama to Michigan then back each month. I really thought I would experience culture shock when being in Alabama. Despite language differencesand those are significant, and the weather, which is warm year-round in Alabama, and very cold and snowy in the Michigan winter, I marvel at how much my rural Alabama location is so much like my rural Michigan home. The similarities are striking. Michigan of course is home to General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, and many of our families evolved from the automobile plant. Where I live in Alabama, Kia is the largest source of revenue. They’re gigantic, and I do mean humungous, West Point, Georgia plant provides employment for tens of thousands in the area where I live. Patriotism runs rampant in both areas. Those that serve our country would do well to be in north central Michigan or rural Alabama. In both areas our veterans are treated with the utmost respect, as they should be. As in north central Michigan, recreation opportunities abound in Alabama. Deer hunting in Northern Michigan is a sacred tradition. We all know that. But in Alabama, they have plenty of deer, as well, and when November roles around the area is filled with hunters. A steady stream of boats flow through town to hit the area lakes in Alabama, where fishing for bass and other fish is excellent. In Clare County, Michigan where we are known for our dozens of lakes, fishing is equally as good. On a sour note, both areas have their share of poverty. Clare County is considered the second poorest county in Michigan. LaFayette, AL is extremely poor with many people on government subsistence and unemployed. Much like Harrison or Farwell or Marion, LaFayette and Lanett in Alabama have their share of empty storefronts. Heck, LaFayette has more empty storefronts than those occupied. I’ve never seen a town so empty. But then I think, and Marion and Farwell, are not far behind. LaFayette, sans Kia, is strictly a farming and logging community. Logging trucks pass through the center of town every five minutes or so. Beef cattle ranches are all over the place. In Clare County the two main industries are - guess whatfarming and logging. The difference is Clare farms mostly grow crops, whereas it’s virtually impossible to grow crops in the red clay of Alabama. Politically both areas are extremely conservative. In Alabama where I live, it is considered the “Bible belt” and issues like gay marriage and abortion are frowned upon. The same could be said for Clare County. I think there is an equal dislike for President Obama. I certainly know very few people in Clare County hold him in high regard. Even the Democrats I know, are not enthralled with his policies. I think the same is true in Alabama. I did, however, come across one difference that was striking yesterday. I was trying to crawl through a window in my garage- yes I had locked myself out, when out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a strange creature Letters Don’t take those wildlife babies home walking across my Alabama lawn. It was an Armadillo, and about the same time I noticed, so did my two dogs. They immediately descended on the strange creature, as did I. I never knew Armadillos were so slow. This thing moved about as fast as a turtle. It moved along the fence line looking for an opening to escape. I give credit to my dogs. They followed they strange creature but never attempted to get near. Once in a while it would move slowly towards the dogs or me like it was attempting to scare us. I later read that they are basically blind. They have a keen since of smell but their sight is terrible. We followed the odd creature for nearly a half hour. I thought many times about picking the Armadillo up and tossing him on the other side of the fence, but then I remembered, some saying that they carried leprosy (I later learned that to be untrue). Finally the creature found a hold in the fence and it was gone. Later in talking to people down here I learned they are extremely destructive animals digging up plants and yards in search of worms and grubs. One native told me they are the only animal that serves no positive purpose. If I see one, he exclaimed, you better believe I will shoot it dead. I guess that’s totally different from my mindset. Being an animal-lover, I found the Armadillo cute, and great entertainment for that half hour. Putting a bullet in its hard-shell is a fete I could never comprehend. I hope he stops by soon for another visit. Spreading the word on climate change Dear Editor: Earlier this month I had the pleasure of attending a Climate Reality Leadership Corps training in Cedar Rapids Iowa. The training was three days long and at the end I became a leader in Climate Change. At this training I had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with folks from all around the world. I was blessed to be sitting at a table with five gentlemen all from different countries, Nigeria, Holland, Brazil, Canada, and Pakistan. Together we embarked on a journey of a lifetime. Over the three days, I was trained by some of the experts on Climate Change, including Al Gore. One main focus at the training was dissecting and understanding the presentation and then taking that and turning it into “our story” in order to grasp our audiences. According to NASA, models show that some areas of the globe will receive more water from the increased amount of moisture held in the atmosphere and some areas will be in severe drought. Forest composition is very dependent on many factors. One of the factors is The soil moisture and timing of the precipitation. We have also been seeing the changes in the abundance of pests and diseases that are able to survive. These changes are causing stress on our forests, altering them. By becoming a leader I am volunteering my time to spread the message of climate change in hopes to get more folks involved and aware of the changes we are seeing. My focus will be on climate change in general but also on forest adapta- tion. I may work outside every day, with forestry, but I am also an educator for the Conservation Districts and keeping the community informed is a large driving focus for me. If you have any questions about forestry, climate change, or what can YOU do feel free to email me at kylee.berger@macd. org or call the office at (989)539-6401. Kylee Berger Clare County Conservation District forester Says Mike’s column was ‘right on the money’ Dear Mike Saw your article Friday. Right on the money. Someone in congress who is 90 years old and been there for forty years is ludicrous. The mere act of being in congress (or the senate) has the effect of isolating people from the public. University studies had come to this conclusion back in the 20’s and 30’s. No politician at any level wants to admit it, but you have to be constantly on your toes to avoid becom- Clare County Review Member Michigan Press Association 105 W.

At the national level that is even more important. A good example is the late John Conyers. He was basically a decent man, but so disconnected that he was no longer relevant to the public. Three terms in congress and two in the senate is more than enough. The protocol we are using in Michigan would work just fine at the federal level. Terry Acton Harrison Praise for FD and DNR Dear Editor: I will admit I am the first one to gripe about government waste and inefficiency. So let me throw some praise where it is due. Twice in the last month someone has set the woods on fire around here by careless burning. Each time both the DNR fire crew out of Harrison and the Harrison Fire Dept. have been right on the scene to put out the fires quickly. They should be proud of their expertise and professionalism. They really saved the day here, twice. Dale Grigg, Harrison Jack was mowing Tuesday morning and startled a newborn fawn who was hidden in the bushes at the edge of the river. The little one ran for its life around the house and across the yard. Luckily we saw later that its mother had come back and found it hiding out in the front yard. I’ve been seeing Facebook posts about sightings of newborn fawns around the area and thought I should remind everyone not to touch or try to rescue any wildlife babies they come across. It is that time again, when we see babies along the roads, in the woods and fields. They are so adorable, you just might be tempted to pick one up and bring it home. Don’t. Even if the mother doesn’t seem to be around, she probably is watching you. Young animals that appear abandoned are not usually alone. Unless the youngster is obviously injured, or brought home by one of your own pets, they shouldn’t be touched or removed from their natural environment. The Department of natural Resources wildlife experts cite a variety of problems when people bring wild creatures home in what they consider is an act of mercy. They can carry a variety of serious diseases like distemper and even rabies. It is also extremely difficult for those animals – deer, raccoons, rabbits – to survive when they are eventually released back into the wild after being raised by humans. Wild animals just do not make good pets. In many cases, especially if they are endangered or game animals, it is also illegal to bring them home. If you do find an obviously injured animal, contact your local animal control agency or the DNR office. There are authorized agencies in Michigan that specialize in first aid and rehabilitation services for wild animals. That reminded me of the time we did “bring some babies home.” I wrote a column about it that bears repeating. One spring, my brothers, who were out walking, found a raccoon on the side of the road. She had been hit by a car and died. Just off the road in some bushes, they found four tiny babies, orphaned by the accident and crying for their Mama. They brought them home. We reported the find to the DNR, and got permission to raise the little ones. Believe me they got to be quite a handful before very long. We had a pen with an old doghouse inside, which became the raccoon babies’ home. Two of the four became quite tame by midsummer. One was eventually given to the family that published the North Woods Call (remember that newspaper anyone?). The other three we let go later in the summer, as soon as they were old enough to fend for themselves. One of the little raccoons decided to stick around. I guess he liked us better than his own kind, or maybe he just liked being fed all the time. I named him Otto. Otto lived with us for several years, and although he was free to come and go as he pleased, you could always find him around the house somewhere. His antics were really something. He just loved to tease our old, fat, yellow, cocker-mix dog. He would spend an hour creeping up on his belly just to jump on poor old Spike while he was sleeping on the porch. The resulting fight sounded pretty vicious, but neither one ever seemed to get hurt. Otto was an outside pet after he decided that the baby trout I was raising in a fish bowl was his own personal smorgasbord. Believe it or not the trout lived through that one, and was eventually released back into the AuSable river, scarred up a bit, but still pretty healthy despite the ordeal. We lived on the edge of a huge wooded area, about five miles from town. It was lonely sometimes for me without other kids around. Otto was a great companion and together we explored all over that area northeast of Roscommon. Otto just loved my dad, who was a local carpenter. That next summer, Dad was working on a cabin just down the road from our house. Every day Otto went to work too. He was strictly supervisory though. He would perch in a nearby tree and watch Dad work all morning, come down and share his lunch and nap all afternoon, until it was time to head for home. Since he was strictly an outside pet, Otto made a den of sorts in the attic of our garage. He slept there at times, and hibernated there through two or three winters. Finally one spring, he just disappeared into the woods, coming home after that only occasionally, and finally not at all. By then I was around 16 years old. A couple of years after Jack and I were married, Mom called one day to say there was an old white faced raccoon in the yard. He came up by the back door and curled up under a tree. He was there nearly a week, eating whatever Mom took out to him. He finally died in his sleep and Dad buried him out by the pen where we had kept those babies so many years before. I know it was Otto. Financial Focus By Don Chiodo Get Ready for the ‘What-ifs’ The future holds many uncertainties, and your retirement is no exception: “What age should I retire?” “How long will I live in retirement?” “When should I start taking Social Security?” “How will rising medical costs affect me?” That’s why planning is so critical, and a good plan will take into account many of the possible uncertainties. For example, you may have realized that your retirement priorities include spending as much time on the water as possible or staying in your lifelong home. Each represents a significant expense — perhaps a new cabin cruiser, or extensive aging-in-place upgrades and a long-term care policy — that would affect not only your retirement lifestyle but also your retirement finances. Each priority generates questions: What if you paid up front? What if you chose financing? How would one or the other affect your monthly income, investments, and legacy plans? Other unexpected developments may arise, such as your company offering you an early retirement package. Turning What-ifs into a Plan “Exploring the what-ifs allows you to try on decisions before you actually have to make them,” says Greg Shiveley, first vice president of the Strategic Solutions Group at Wells Fargo Advisors. “You’re able not only to design a retirement lifestyle that reflects your priorities but also to have added confidence that you’ll be able to achieve it.” The process starts with narrowing down the list of what-ifs to those scenarios most applicable to your circumstances. Shiveley notes that exploring what-if scenarios can be especially useful when a cou- ple or individual has multiple high priorities, which may have come to light during a priority-setting exercise with their Financial Advisor. Working through the options with someone you trust who also happens to be familiar with your finances and personal preferences — namely, your Financial Advisor — greatly simplifies the process. Regardless of the strength of that relationship, however, you remain in the driver’s seat. “While your advisor is there to provide insight and support, ultimately you make decisions about how to proceed,” Shiveley emphasizes. What’s more, you can return to the what-if process whenever you’re faced with a major decision or a change in your circumstances. “The reports and plans that come out of this exploration are not something you just put on a shelf,” Shiveley points out. “They’re living, breathing documents that can adapt with you.” This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of Don ChiodoSenior Financial Advisor in Clare at 989-935-5000.

Sandi has been the Executive Director of the Clare United Way and Volunteer Center for more than 20 years, and has been the Executive Director of the combined United Way organization for the last three years. When asked what she liked most about her position, she responded that «at the end of the day it comes down to helping our neighbors in the two counties we serve.» Sandi also commented that she will miss the agencies with which she›s worked for the past 20 years and the relationships she›s formed with the folks who work at Richard F. “Dickie” Haynak Jr., age 53, of Clare, passed away on Sunday, May 24, at MidMichigan Medical Center in Midland. He was born the son of Richard and Jean (Wood) Haynak on July 23, 1961, in Clare. Dickie graduated from Clare High School in 1979.

All three men are members of American Legion Post 404 Honor Guard in Harrison and presented the colors during the ceremony. Harrison Veterans take part in Senate ceremonies Sen. Judy Emmons welcomed World War II and Korean War veterans from Harrison to the state Capitol on Thursday for the Michigan Senate’s 21st Annual Memorial Day Service, which honored Michigan’s fallen soldiers and paid respect to all past and current service members. “We owe a great debt to the brave patriots who answered the nation’s call to defend our liberty. We enjoy the blessings of freedom today due to the selfless courage of America’s servicemen and women, many of whom protected our lives at the cost of their own,” said Emmons, R-Sheridan. “I was proud to have these outstanding veterans at the Capitol for the Senate’s solemn ceremony as we remember the soldiers who died in the defense of freedom and make sure the legacy of their sacrifice and service is never taken for granted or forgotten.” “I encourage everyone to never lose sight of the meaning of Memorial Day and to take time to remember the true cost of freedom — the sacrifice of countless fallen heroes.” Bill Gieske is a veteran of World War II, Bob Davis served in the U.S. Army under Gen. Douglas McArthur and Fred Hollister is a Korean War veteran. All three men are members of American Legion Post 404 Honor Guard in Harrison and presented the colors during the ceremony.

Photo by Cindy Robison So far so good for the Farwell softball team. The Eagle (29-8) held off a young Meridian team in Tuesday’s division three pre-district game at Clare to win 5-2. Farwell started things off right with back-to-back solo home runs by Brittany Cogswell and Kate Saupe to take a 2-0 lead and Saupe’s strong pitching in the circle held the Mustangs’ offense at bay most of the night. Saupe finished by giving up two runs, giving up six hits on 10 strikeouts and one walk. After Meridian made it 2-1 in the fourth Saupe added an RI single in the top of the fifth to make it Three Clare golfers move to regionals By Ben Murphy Sports Writer th score of 403 to come in eighth place. Tawas Area won the event with a 305. The good news is that Bradley Fields, JJ Gross and Grand Good all shot low enough to qualify for regionals. Fields hit an 83 to come in seventh, Gross carded a 92 to place 20th and Good As a team the Clare golf team had its’ season come to an end. Individually however three moved on to regionals. The Pioneers, playing at the division three district at Eagle Glen in Farwell, shot a team placed 28 by shooting 100. Justin Boggs was the fourth member competing and he came in 46th with a score of 128. The Pioneers competed By Ben Murphy Sports Writer By Thom Slusher Clare County’s PGA Pro Preparing for the open Chambers Bay hosts this years US Open and an interesting fact about the course is that it has one tree. Instead of trees the contestants will have to weave their way through a labyrinth of sand bunkers. We need to take different approaches as to how we play out of greenside bunkers vs. fairway bunkers. Following are the techniques for each. For a greenside bunker shot you want to use an explosion shot. Setup with an open stance, grip down on the club and open the face, and drag both feet into the sand a little. You want to take a big enough swing to hit the sand under the ball onto the green. The ball will fly on top of the sand like a surfer on a wave. Common mistakes I see being made with this shot are: not enough swing to get the ball out, not opening the face enough, and not taking enough sand. A fairway bunker usually allows you to take a full swing and advance your ball a fair distance. The setup for the fairway bunker is similar to a normal full swing stance. After your normal setup, grip down some on the grip, play the ball a little toward your forward foot, and secure your footing. The technique for this shot is similar to the normal full swing but try to keep your legs very quiet. It is important to hit the ball first before the sand for this shot. Common mistakes for the fairway bunker are hitting the sand first which greatly reduces distance and choosing a club with too little loft to clear the lip of the hazard. Remember you are not allowed to ground your club behind the ball when in the sand. This is a two shot penalty in stroke play or loss of hole in match play. Prepare like you are playing in the Open and improve your sand game. Playing from the sand takes a few setup adjustments and a little practice. Add a touch of confidence and you will soon be hitting some great bunker shots. The Clare girls’ soccer team had its season come to an end Tuesday night, as the Lady Pioneers fell on the road to Pinconning, 6-0 in a division three predistrict game. “We just didn’t play well,” head coach Jim Bond said. “Coming off Memorial Day weekend, we didn’t get to have a full team practice Monday and we had a couple games to end the week last week so we didn’t get to practice to prepare for them.” The Lady Spartans jumped to a 5-0 lead by the half and netted one more goal in the second half to finish off the 6-0 final. “We just played poorly and very slow in the first half,” Bond said. “Not to take anything away from them, they played pretty well. That’s just the way it goes though and that will end our season.” On Thursday Clare played at Houghton Lake, falling 3-1. “They just played a bit better than us and deserved to win,” Bond said. Aloria Benson netted Clare’s only goal in the game. Clare finishes the season with two wins on the seaosn. “I think next year will be a better year,” Bond said. “Our JV had five wins and two ties in 11 games. They had a pretty good season and all their other games were pretty competitive. Some of the girls will be playing in the Midland recreation league this fall so that should help us too.” Visit us on Facebook for more news you can use.

According to State Superintendent Mike Flanagan, “The Breaking Traditions Awards recognize high school and college students who have demonstrated success in CTE programs that are nontraditional to their gender. At a time when there is a call from various stakeholders for building a moreresponsive, market-driven schools-to-jobs pipeline, it is important to recognize the efforts of these students and the programs that helped them.” Baker, also a senior at Gladwin High School, was nominated for the recognition by Culinary Arts Instructor Heidi Rocha. “Heather consistently goes above and beyond in everything that she does. Her ability to enter the workforce is outstanding.” Baker accepted the award at a ceremony at the Library of Michigan in Lansing this month. “These outstanding students are preparing themselves to enter a career that will benefit them individually and benefit Michigan by increasing diversity in Clare Primary peacemakers named Back Row (L to R): Connor Lowe, Haley Marshall, Charles Cowling, Tom Dewey, James Brown, Sophia McKinney, Jordan Bailey, Morgan Campbell.

Once she obtains a business degree, Baker would like to further her skills at a culinary arts college, such as the Culinary Institute of America, and eventually own a restaurant. Culinary Arts is a career and technical education (CTE) program offered to high school juniors and seniors at the Clare-Gladwin Career Center. The students spend half of their day at their CTE program and the other half at their local high school.

Pleasant. This past week the Michigan Sports Today radio show debuted on WFYC, 1280 AM in mid-Michigan. The show runs from 6-9 a.m. each Monday through Friday and is hosted by Don Chiodo and Brock Gutierrez, who also announce CMU football during the fall. Chiodo is also the voice for CMU men’s basketball during the winter. News anchor Kim Sackett will also deliver news from across the state twice every hour while meteorologist Jim Hitpas will have the latest on the ever-changing weather. The show itself will focus mostly on Michigan sports, with in-depth analysis of the Tiger, Lions, Red Wings and Pistons. There will also be plenty of college coverage of Michigan, MSU and CMU sports. In short this new show will offer up plenty for sports fans in mid-Michigan. “It’s all Michiganbased and about Michigan’s teams,” said Chiodo, who’s worked in the sports broadcasting field for decades. “I have always wanted to do this and I’m excited about it. There are so many national shows out there, but nobody does anything local anymore so that’s where we’re coming from.” The show will also offer fans the opportunity to call in and be a part of the conversation by calling 1-231-331-8678. You can also join in via social media on Twitter by tweeting @misportstoday or listen to the livestream on the internet at http://www. michigansportstoday.com/.

Edward Naill, MD and Medical Oncologist Somdev Roy, MD. McLaren earns accreditation Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Central Michigan, Morey Cancer Center, recently earned a three-year “Accreditation with Commendation” by the Commission on Cancer, a division of the American College of Surgeons. Karmanos achieved a Silver Level for obtaining commendation in six out of the possible seven categories. The accreditation came after the completion of an on-site evaluation of factors such as data management, clinical services, research, community outreach and quality improvement. Fewer than 30 percent of U.S. hospitals receive this accreditation. To become accredited, a cancer program must meet or exceed 34 quality care standards, be evaluated every three-years through a survey process, and maintain levels of excellence in the delivery of comprehensive patient-centered care. Accreditation is given to programs where patients have access to quality, comprehensive care close to home. It affirms that Karmanos offers a multispecialty team approach, clinical trials and new treatment options, access to prevention and early detection programs, and a cancer registry that offers lifelong patient followup.

Mid Michigan Community College (MMCC) was honored with the Michigan Small Business Development Center’s Host Award on May 13, during the network’s annual awards ceremony. Mid Michigan Community College President Christine Hammond accepted the award, given in recognition of MMCC’s commitment to supporting local small businesses. MMCC has hosted the Mid Michigan Region SBDC since 2001. During this time 2,556 distinct clients have received 25,776 hours of counseling, resulting in $59,531,583 in capital formation, 245 new businesses starts, 1,316 jobs created and 829 jobs retained in the Mid Michigan region. “It is a true honor to receive this award. One of MMCC’s core values is to support its local businesses,” says MMCC President Christine Hammond. “The SBDC is fundamental to that mission, and we’re proud of the excellent Left to Right: Amy Fisher (SBDC Business Consultant), Tony Fox (SBDC Regional Director), Christine Hammond (MMCC President), Jose Navarrete (SBDC Growth Consultant) resources it provides to help sustain and grow local independent industries.” Within the last year, the Mid Michigan SBDC has been fortunate to move into new offices located in Mt. Pleasant at the Morey Technical Education Center on MMCC’s Mt. Pleasant campus. This move represents much more than an upgrade to top-notch facilities—it represents an opportunity to more cohesively serve area businesses. MMCC provides resources to startups, early stage product development companies, and existing businesses.
