By Pat MaurerCorrespondents

A Marion woman and a Windsor, Ohio man died Monday morning in a tragic head-on collision on east bound U.S. 10 at Old State Avenue.

A release from the Clare County Sheriff’s Depart-ment said Ines Brocht, 86 of Marion was driving her 2005 silver Mercury Sable west in the east bound lane of the freeway when the accident happened.

She hit a 2012 red Chevrolet Traverse driven by Charles Sarbach, 72, of Windsor near the exit ramp to Old State Avenue. Both Brocht and Sarbach were killed in the crash.

Charles’s wife Janelle Sarbach, 71, of Winsor, a passenger in the couple’s Chevrolet, was critically injured in the accident and transported to Mid-Michigan Medical Center in Midland where she was reported to be still in criti-cal condition at press time.

Deputies were dis-patched to the scene around 9:45 a.m. when another driver, also east bound reported the wrong-

way driver. The accident happened while they were enroute.

Both vehicles were re-portedly going around 70 miles per hour when they collided.

In an interview with 9 & 10 news, Sheriff John Wilson said although a vehicle reported going the wrong way on the express way has happened “six or seven times” while he has been on the depart-ment, most of the time the wrong-way driver gets turned around before officers can arrive. “When they don’t, we are lucky to have any survivors in a head-on accident at that speed,” he said.

East bound U.S. 10 was closed and traffic re-routed while the accident scene was cleaned up.

Clare County Deputies were assisted by Mobile Medical Response Ambu-lance, Surrey Township Fire Department, Clare Fire Department, Mid-Michigan, Towing, Joe’s Auto Solution and the Clare County Road Com-mission at the scene.

The accident remains under investigation.

Charles Sarbach of Windsor, Ohio died and his wife, Janelle was critically injured when their east bound Chevrolet was hit by a westbound Mercury driven by Ines Brocht of Marion. Brocht also died in the head-on collision.

It’s been a while since laughter and screams of joy came from a midway on the Farwell Labor Day Festival grounds. The last time a carnival was part of the annual celebration was back in 2013.

“We’re very excited to have a carnival this year. It’s been difficult the last two years to bring in a good amusement company due to sched-uling conflicts with the various carnivals. We’re anticipating a good selec-tion of rides. We want to encourage everyone come on out and support a long-standing tradition - The Farwell Labor Day Festival - Gina Hamilton of the Farwell Labor Day Committee said”

Human bone found nearTimberlane Road Aug. 19By Pat MaurerCorrespondent

Clare County investi-gators are searching for the rest of a body near Harrison.

A resident of Timber-lane Road, just east of Old County Farm Road

south of Harrison called Central Dispatch last Friday morning around 10:47 a.m. to report that his dog had brought what he thought was a human bone back to his house.

Investigators from the Clare County Sheriff’s Department responded

to the scene and took the bone to a forensic pathologist to have it identified.

The bone was identi-fied as a femur bone be-longing to a female “that appears to be older,” the release from the Sheriff’s Department said.

Further testing has be-gun to try and determine the age of the bone.

Meanwhile investiga-tors are searching the area with the help of a cadaver dog from the Michigan State Police. So far, “nothing has been located in the immediate area,” Sheriff John Wilson said in the release.

“We will continue to investigate this incident and keep the public up to date,” he added. “We will be doing a complete search of the area.”

No further information was available at press time.

A resident of Timberlane Road called Central Dispatch when his dog brought home what he suspected was a human bone. Police are continuing to search the area.

William Tyler, 46 of Flint drowned Saturday in Shingle Lake after his kayak flipped over in the lake.

A 9-1-1 caller, who lives at the lake, noti-fied Central Dispatch just before noon that he saw a man in a kayak flip over and go under the water.

Emergency crews from the Clare County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team, Clare County Marine Patrol, Lincoln Township Fire/Rescue and Mobile Medi-cal Response Ambulance all responded to the scene.

A Deputy arriving at the scene was told by the resident that he saw what he thought was a younger black male struggling in the water just off the shore.

He told the Deputy he stripped down and went into the water to help, but by the time he got to where he had seen the man struggling he was unable to locate him.

Once the Marine Patrol boat arrived a grid was marked off and a search for the man began us-ing long poles, but the initial attempts to locate him were unsuccessful, a release from the Sheriff’s Department said.

A Sheriff’s diver arrived and was put into the water. Within five minutes he located the man and his body was pulled from the

Backpack Program provides weekend meals for hungry kidsBy Pat MaurerCorrespondent

Margaret Zinser and two other volunteers, Kris Hubel and Keri Smith, will soon be busy filling “backpacks” with weekend meals for Clare Primary and Middle School young-sters who might not get a nutritious meal on the weekends otherwise.

This is the start of the third year for the Clare Area Backpack Program.

Zinser said, “I started after watching a PBS pro-gram about it in McBain. I checked into the school to ask if Clare had such a need. To my surprise, we sure did.”

She said she started fill-ing backpacks in October that year.

That first half year they fed about 22 kids, mostly in the Clare Pri-mary School, but also their siblings in Middle School when there is a need.

The kids in need are identified by classroom teachers who know which kids need some assistance.

A letter is sent out to them (grades 1 to 4) asking if they would like to be involved in the program.

Some backpacks are filled only for one young-ster, some for two and sometimes for up to three youngsters in the same family.

Their second year about 53 students were given backpacks of food for the weekends during the school year.

The Clare Church of the Nazarene provides a room to store the non-perishable food items. “Pastor Jim Young and Pastor Jeremy have been great to work with along with Kathleen David. Without their kind-ness, I don’t know what we would do,” Zinser said.

At the end of the school year items that are not outdated and that have not made it into a backpack are donated to the church for their own food pantry.

Money and food is donated by many people throughout the community and the non-perishable food items are stored in the room provided by the church.

The ladies go shopping twice a month to buy items for the backpacks. This year’s backpacks were donated by Jerry Witbeck and Judy and Sam Brankle, who regularly donate to the project.

“People bring us food, juice boxes, candy on holi-days and more as their way of donating,” Zinser said. “It’s great when someone who cares so much deliv-ers to us or if that’s not possible, I will go and pick items up.”

The backpacks are filled with cereal, pancakes, pea-nut butter and jelly, pack-aged or fresh fruit when they have it or “find a good buy.” They add tuna, noodles, soups, spaghetti, chicken dinners, fruit snacks, crackers and cook-ies if available. “We try to add and delete [items] so they [the youngsters] don’t think it is the same thing every time.”

She added, “We have received generous dona-tions from local businesses and individuals.”

Once a week Margaret, Kris and Keri get together and load the backpacks. They are delivered to the classrooms with the youngster’s name on them and sent home with them. They are returned the following Thursday. “We send three meals home for Saturday and Sunday and try to include fresh fruit and nutrition items.”

Zinser said.Right now the program

is provided for Clare Primary students, although the ladies would like to expand the program to include middle school students and possibly develop a “pantry” in the high school where students could come and pick up items.

They are just getting started collecting food for this year’s students with a need. “Any donations

are welcome,” Zinser said, “and we have some gracious people who also just go ‘shopping’ and buy items. All of this makes it work.”

Anyone who would like to help the ladies with the Clare Area Backpack Program this year and are interested in donating food or money can contact Zinser at 989-429-6778, Zinser said. “Help our kids that need help right here in Clare!”

Parents who host, lose the mostBy Goldie Wood, Prevention & Outreach Manager, Ten 16 Recovery Network

It’s finally here. Summer is about over and school begins again here in our area -- on Monday!

It’s kinda sad for me. It is granddaughter Alea’s senior year, and her sister Alison will be a freshman.

Hard to believe my two youngest granddaughters will both be in high school together and hard for this old grandma to accept too.

Seems like just a few years ago that Alea, Mandy and I were splashing in mud puddles in the drive-way.

Seems even less time has passed since the two girls and I were making Play Doh animals and bak-ing cookies in the kitchen or splashing in the river, or swinging in the hammock on the riverbank or…

Those summers don’t seem so very long ago.

Now they are growing up. In one more year, Alea will begin college and Ali-son will be a sophomore.

Now it’s great-grand-daughter Ayssa who is here with me this afternoon watching movies and play-ing with the tinker-toys from the playroom while I write on the computer or coloring with the markers. In fact I have a new picture hanging up on the refrig-erator. My little adding machine is fun to explore too. And she isn’t averse to splashing in the river either and often mentions it when she comes to visit.

She is in kindergarten this year, so I won’t see

On May 6, 1934, a young minister in Char-lotte, North Carolina, named Vance Havner, devoted his weekly column in the Charlotte Observer to a problem that relates to discouraged people today: how to find the source of joy in tough times.

When Havner penned his message to the people of Charlotte, the world was in the depths of The Great Depression; people were out of work, numbers of his readers had lost their homes and savings; some were hungry. He titled his depression era column “Where is Your Joy?” And his insights are as relevant now as they were at that difficult time.

Though his church members and column read-ers weren’t aware of what was ahead for this young writer and pastor, Vance Havner would become one of the most widely heard and read ministers of his time. His thirty eight books are still favorites of many because his message was always the timeless one that meets us where we are and in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.

Questioning why many people were joyless during those depression years may have seemed like an

It’s nearly September and in two months voters will decide who will lead the United States for the next four years. We may choose Clinton, or Trump or a third party candidate like Johnson.

That’s popular opinion, anyways. In reality the next president like the previous forty-three, will actually be chosen by an archaic institution called the Electoral College. The vote of the people means very little.

Here’s how it works. In 48 states the Electoral College is chosen in the same manner (Maine and Nebraska have slight varia-tions. After the vote of the people in each state is counted, the political party whose candidate received a majority in a particular state is allowed to choose a slate of electors who will cast the real votes for President.

One might say, “big deal.” Electors still must follow the wishes of the popular vote. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. Presidential elections lately have been extremely close when it comes to popular vote. Not so within the Electoral College because it is an all or nothing situation. This means if a candidate wins a state by 50.1% (assuming there are only two candidates) of the popular vote, his slate of Electors will cast the real votes for president.

Another problem with the Electoral College is that smaller states get more electoral votes per person than larger states. According to fairvote.org this essentially means that

Your vote doesn’t count“each individual vote in Wyoming counts nearly four times as much in the Electoral College as each individual vote in Texas.”

Because of this dispar-ity between small states and large states, and the winner take all system, it becomes possible to win the presidency by winning just 21.8% of the popular vote.

“In other words,” ac-cording to a study by Jesse Ruderman, “a candidate could lose with 78.2% of the popular vote by getting just under 50% in small states and 100% in large states.”

In actuality, just 16 years ago, George Bush defeated Al Gore with only 47.9% of the popular vote. However when it came down to the Electoral College, Bush won 271 to 266, thus was declared president, despite you and millions of others tipping the popular vote scale for Gore.

I have long been an ad-vocate for the abolishment of the Electoral College. I believe you and I should elect our president, not the so-called representatives of the candidate that wins a particular state. After all every other representative of the people- senators, congressmen, state offi-cials, local officials, etc are elected by popular vote. Why is the most important position, the U.S. Presiden-cy left up to the Electoral College?

Can you imagine if two months from now the presidential candidate with less than a majority were to win the presidency? All hell would break lose.

Whether the loser by Clin-ton or Trump, either would create a huge fuss and the top office would be in a state of chaos.

Furthermore, there is always the possibility that the Electoral College may end in a tie vote. That did happen in 1800 when Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied. It could happen again, and in that case the election would be decided by the House of Representatives where each state would get one vote.

If this were to happen, Wyoming with a popula-tion of 563,000 would have an equal vote as California, which sports a population of 31 million. This is essentially the same problem inherent with the Electoral College.

Let’s end this disparity now. An election should be based on popular vote. Your vote should hold equal weight and signifi-cance as does John Doe’s vote in Wyoming. We shouldn’t be voting only to instruct a bunch of electors in our state how to vote. Which of my representa-tives in Congress is going to lead an effort to abolish the Electoral College? I’m watching!

The source of joy in tough timesunneeded question. Fac-ing tough times now may enable us to profit from the wisdom shared by this Carolina columnist so long ago.

Young Havner con-cluded that many at that time felt down because they were expecting joy from the wrong sources and therefore were con-tinually disappointed. He saw these false hopes for happiness falling into four categories and warned against them as follows:

1. Joy does not lie in where we are.

“It is not a creation of circumstances. Poor human nature persists in thinking that the next field will be greener. A new house, a new car, a change of jobs, a trip; forever just ahead lies happiness.”

2. Joy does not consist in how we are (how we feel).

“Feelings are as variable as April weather and a joy based upon mere emotion is at the mercy of a head-ache or a bad dinner.”

3. Joy is not a matter of who we are.

“Position and promi-nence do not bring joy. People seek fame in high places only to learn they were happier in obscurity.”

4. Joy is not dependent upon what we are.

“Nicodemas, a wealthy religious leader described in the Bible who came to Jesus seeking advice and a rich young ruler, who was ruled by his possessions, were men of fine charac-ter but they still sought something deeper. Our own goodness may bring us a sort of self-satisfaction but it never sparkles with heavenly joy.”

How can one then find joy? If joy can’t be found in where we are, how we are, who we are or what we are, where is it to be found? Vance Havner concluded joy is found in whose we are.

Explaining that we can belong to the Lord through faith in Christ, (Romans 5:1), Havner repeated it is in knowing whose we are that we find joy, even dur-ing tough times.

The seasons -- and years go by so fast

her as much anymore for a while because her school starts right after Labor Day.

Summertime certainly is fun time for the little ones.

With the end of August in sight and less than a week away, Mother Nature seems to be gearing up for her annual fall display.

I haven’t noticed any leaves turning yet, but there is red fruit on the apple trees and the Queen Anne Lace is in bloom all along the roadsides.

Jack has doubled up the sugar in the hummingbird feeder and we have been entertained by the antics of about eight of those little flyers and they fight over positions for a drink. They have aerial battles that amaze me. They seem to love the sweeter version he always provides in their feeder this time of year. He says it helps them store up energy for their long flight south.

They will be leaving soon, I think. Usually in mid-September we notice that suddenly they are gone again. We always leave the feeder up for a week or so – just in case, then we bring it in and store it away until next year.

Most of the rest of the bird feeder “crew” includ-ing our resident herd of about eight deer will be hanging around all winter, looking for goodies. Watching the wildlife is great entertainment for us when it’s cold and snowy

outside.Hate to mention that

“four letter word” but you know it’s not far away now. I was looking through some old pictures and say that we had our first snow-fall last year on November 18. That is just under three months away.

And Christmas is only four months from yes-terday. Guess it’s time for me to start thinking about some shopping for the grandkids again. I had started early this year. Had an outfit in the closet for Ayssa. She wore it home the other day…

Meanwhile we get to enjoy fall – the most beau-tiful time of year I think. I always look forward to our “color tours” around the area when the trees are all “in bloom” again.

Usually I see a few leaves turning here and there by this time, but not this year. Of course now that I work mostly here in my office at home, I’m not out and about quite so much.

We will be making another trip north to the camper in a week or so, bet I will see some color up there!

To the Editor: Ken Hibl is perhaps

unaware of how he and the police chief get paid — let alone how the city buys things such as police vehicles.

During the most recent city council meet-ing, Hibl questioned why the council was discussing in public a large-item purchase that did not follow state law and the city char-ter. “I don’t know why we are discussing this in public,” the Review quotes the city manager as saying.

Let me tell you why, Hibl: the $9,000 you overspent on a police ve-hicle is money provided to you by city taxpayers.

The taxpayers of Clare have a right to knowThey have the right to know how their money is spent, if it is spent poorly or wisely and, if someone screws up, why it happened.

In fact, I would argue that not only do the resi-dents of Clare have that right, but you have the obligation to let them know.

Now, there is no reason to believe Chief Brian Gregory did any-thing nefarious with the purchase of the police vehicle. In fact, it is overwhelmingly likely he did make a simple mistake.

That’s why there is no better place — no place more appropriate — to discuss such a mistake

than in the public forum provided to you.

An open government is a better government: it is more efficient, more trusted and wiser.

I’ll let President Woodrow Wilson de-scribe the opposite: “Ev-erybody knows that cor-ruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impro-priety.”

Let the people know, city manager. You may be surprised to find out that running the city is easier that way.Sincerely,Stephen TaitTrenton, Mich. (formerly of Clare)

The main substances used by county students are alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, and synthetic marijuana. Cocaine, methamphetamines, and steroids are also a signifi-cant concern for seventh grade. Regular use of most substances increases as youth get older, with almost one in every four eleventh graders reported having drank in the past 30 days. Addition-ally, almost one in every five eleventh graders re-ported smoking marijuana in the past 30 days.

CONSUMP-TION

The disparity between those who get “good” grades — A’s and B’s, and those who get “bad” grades — D’s and F’s, is strik-ing. Student success and drug and alcohol abuse are intricately linked.

Students with poor grades are over 2 times more likely to have re-cently used alcohol, over 3 times as likely to have recently used marijuana, 4 times more likely to have recently used ciga-rettes, and almost 3 times more likely to have used synthetic marijuana.

Reward for stolen Hayes Twp political signs

Hayes Township Supervisor Terry Acton is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons who have been stealing political signs in Hayes Township.

A release from the Clare County Sheriff’s Depart-ment said they are “asking the public for their help in obtaining information” about the thefts.

Several signs have been

stolen shortly after being placed on private property or along the roadside. They are the property of the can-didates who are campaign-ing for elected positions and have “financial value,” the release said.

Sheriff John Wilson said Thursday that he is also missing political signs for his re-election campaign. “About 20 have come up missing in the southern part of the county,” he said.

Obituaries

Ines Marie BrochtInes Marie Brocht passed

away unexpectedly on Monday August 22nd. 2016 from a car accident. She was born to Arthur and Loutressa Keehn on April 18th. 1930 on the family farm on Keehn Rd., Winterfield Township, Marion, MI. She was 86 years old. She had moved 4 times in her lifetime all within one quarter mile of where she was born. She was the salutatorian of the Class of 1948.

Ines entered into mar-riage with Frank Brocht on November 13th. 1948. She is survived by 5 children. Gary and Denise of Marion, Darla and Dennis Hamilton of Ca-dillac, Brian and Lynette of Kalkaska, Linda Lou and Ed Schoch of McBain and Lewis of Cadillac.

To lovingly remember her are 12 grandchildren, Andy and Jenifer Brocht of Marion, Wade Brocht of Battle Creek, Kim ande HJ Host of Cedar Springs, Mark and Jessica Hamilton of Troy, Matthew and Stacey Hamilton of East Jordon, Joseph and Marilyn Brocht of Macomb, Emily and Russ LaJoie of Grand Rapids, Becky and Dustin Drews of Clover, S.C., Amy Schoch and fiancee Mat-thew Lane of Charlotte, NC, Daniel and Deanna Schoch of McBain, Jordon Wellman of Cadillac, and Dylan Brocht of Cadillac. She also leaves be-hind 19 great grandchildren, Katelyn, Allison, Lauren, Sophie, Amelia, Audrey, Caleb, Miah, Mailey, Gabby, William, Leo, Katie, Avery, Sam, Mason, Genevieve, Hudson, and Rion. She is also survived by 2 great, great grandsons, Brenton and Kameron.

She was preceeded in death by her husband, one great grandson, her parents, her step father Clyde Bentley, 3 sisters Vera, Edith and Ellen and 2 brothers William and John.

Ines always said she had no in-laws, they were all her kids and grandkids. All new members were instantly part of the family and loved all the same. Anyone who knew her or met her will remember her kind and loving heart. Ines was a multi-talented lady. She was best known as a wonderful seamtress. She made everything from fancy baby dresses to a sail for a sail boat. There was nothing she couldn’t sew, usually with no pattern. She was a hard worker all her life,

growing up on a farm and later becoming a farmer’s wife and right-hand woman. Throughout life she learned the basics of mechanics, plumbing, electrical and carpentry through trial, error, and necessity. She never conmplained about anything life dealt her.

Everyone was always welcome at her house and the coffee and cookies were always ready. She could put together a meal with no notice for how ever many happened to be there. Pan-cakes were her speciality. Ines was a woman of God who showed her family and friends unconditional love. Her family were her pride and joy. All of her grandkids and great grandkids can share special memories of Grandma Brocht. Spending time with her was always a treat. When the kids were there, she made the time all about them. It was always an adventure and most rules didn’t apply at Grandma’s house.

There was never someone in need that she didn’t reach out to help, whether it was family, friends or a neighbor. She was always a giver. She loved to sew, pick any kind of berries, read, quilt, and most of all spend time with her family.

Ines was a faithful mem-ber of the Leota Community Church as well as the Ever Ready Club for over 40 years. Ines also served as the Winterfield Township Clerk for several years.

The services for Ines will be Saturday, August 27th. 11a.m. at the Fosnaught Holdship Funeral Home in Marion. Visitation will be Thursday from 6-8pm and Friday from 2-4pm and 6-8pm. Memorials can be made to the Leota Commu-nity Church or charity of your choice.

Eagle band prepares for halftime

3 to lead Hornet runnersBy Ben MurphySports Writer

The Harrison cross country teams will begin their season next week, when they hope to get an early look at how their squads will shape up this year.

The boys team has three returning runners, those being seniors Andy Cargill, Ray Ramirez and Logan Colter. Senior Brandon Nimitz also returns after missing the last two sea-sons with an injury. New runners for the boys are junior Eric Jacobs and freshman Travis Taylor.

“Cargill and Ramirez have steadily improved over the last three years and I am hoping that they can push each other to the point where they are in contention for all-

conference recognition,” 22nd year head coach Tod Reeve said. “Colter returns after dual-sporting football last year and my hopes are that having him on cross country will help him get to a competitive position. Taylor is currently leading the team, Colter needs to cut down the gap between himself and the top three and Brandon and Eric need to get themselves in shape and fight for the fifth spot. I am also hoping to pick up a couple more underclass boys once school starts to help out this season and give us a better base for years to come.”

The Lady Hornets are entirely newcomers, and should be led by Jessica Jacobs thanks to her two seasons in junior high cross country. Freshman Maya Reeve, juniors

Makayla Stamper, Alexis Jensen, Krystal Steele and Liz LaPorte also join the team.

“My goal right now is to get these girls into shape and prepared for Jack Pine Conference competition,” Reeve said. “Needless to say, the learning curve is very high.”

Harrison opens up the season at the Clare Invita-tional on Wednesday.

Cooking & RecipesCarol Cope

What’s Cooking?This year being a great

growing season for fruits and vegetables, I will finish with some of our families good recipes....

FREEZER SWEET CORN

Frist start with good and fresh sweet corn on the cob. Husk and remove all silk. Set aside. In a very large pot, fill half full with water and a Tablespoon of sugar, bring to boil. Place as many ears of corn that the water will cover in pot, bring to a boil and boil five (5) minutes. Remove from water and let cool. Remove kernels from cob and place in freezer bags adding two (2) slivers of butter to each bag, remove air and freeze.

This sometime takes two (2) people to do this in a timely manner. My daugh-ter, Lindsy and myself did several bushels in about four (4) hours and it turned out super..... Note* We also bought the new Kernel corn remover which cuts down the time in removing the kernels.

Put in water bath and boil for 10 minutes. These will store indefinitely on your

shelf. Very easy to make and super tasty...

PICKLED OKRAby Nancy Hincher

2 pounds fresh Okra5 pods hot peppers5 cloves garlic1/2 cup water1 qt. vinegar2 Tbsp. salt or pick-

ling salt1 Tbsp. celery seed

Wash okra and pack in jars. Put one (1) pep-per pod in each jar. Mix remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Pour liquid over okra and seal.

This is real easy and very good....

Center – Midland has received the Mission: Lifeline® Silver Receiving Quality Achievement Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures outlined by the American Heart Association for the treatment of patients who suffer severe heart attacks.

Each year in the United States, approximately 250,000 people have a ST segment elevation myocardial infarction,

Farwell’s 110th Labor Day Celebration set for September 2nd through the 5th, has something really special to offer this year. The midway is back again!

Beer and Jessop Amuse-ments of Milford, Indiana will be presenting good wholesome entertainment for the entire family.

Twin brothers Tom and John Beer own and operate the company along with many members of their family.

“It is a nice clean carnival,” said Farwell resident Jeff Williams, who is their agent and has been marketing and booking for carnivals for 40 years. Jeff said he used to book for the Clare County Fair. “It was the first county fair I ever booked,” he said.

“Beer and Jessop Amusements is operated completely by family,” he added. “The business began back in 1852 with a candy concession stand op-erated by the twins’ great-great-great grandmother, Mrs. C.W. Jessop (the lady confectioner) who sold candy at fairs throughout the Midwest.

Her family has contin-ued that quality tradition.

Beer and Jessop Amusements coming to Farwell FestivalThe current company of-fers a wide variety of rides, many geared especially for children, including a huge 50-foot Ferris wheel. They also have games and concessions and more and all of them are operated by family members.

A review on Facebook by Dale Gerber said, “Beers and Jessup is one of the classiest shows in the mid west. This is a true family operation that maintains their equipment and shows their high level of pride.”

The Midway at the Far-well Labor Day Celebra-tion will open next Friday, September 2nd at 3 p.m. and continue on Saturday and Sunday, opening at noon and on Monday at 11 a.m.

Also returning to Far-well’s 110th celebration will be all the home exhib-its, featuring the best the area has to offer. Exhibits will be entered Saturday at 11 a.m. and be judged between 9 a.m. and noon on Sunday.

The four-day celebration will feature entertainment on the Open Stage with a show on Friday at 5 p.m.; on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. with contests, per-formers and fun; the Red Hat Strutters at 4 p.m.; on

Sunday with Steven D and the Keys at 2 p.m. and a Karaoke Contest at 4 p.m.; and a variety of entertain-ment to see there on Mon-day from 2 to 4 p.m.

Prizes for the Karaoke Contest will include kids, with a grand prize of $50 and adults (16 and up) with a $100 grand prize.

Besides exhibits to view

and a fun family midway to enjoy, there will be a variety of other events to enjoy Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

On Saturday and Sunday, a Petting Zoo and Pixie’s Ponies will open at noon. Carnival Bingo begins at 1 p.m. Saturday and Gordon the Magician will present two shows under the Pavilion at 1 and 3 p.m.

Kids’ games and activi-ties are scheduled at 4 p.m. on Saturday and again at noon on Monday.

Saturday evening it will be the USA Figure 8 Derby, followed by the spectacular Fireworks Show.

Other Sunday activities include free Senior Bingo

at noon and Carnival Bingo at 1 and 4 p.m.

Monday, Labor Day, it will be time to get ready for the parade down Main Street. Registration is at 8:30 a.m. and the parade begins at 10. This year’s parade theme is “Legos”.

After the parade, Mon-day at 1 p.m. there will be a Kids’ Bicycle Drawing and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. the Farwell United Meth-odist will host a Pulled Pork Dinner.

Exhibits can be picked up at 2 p.m. Monday and the events conclude at 4 p.m.

The midway will close at 6 p.m., winding up the 110th Labor Day Celebra-tion once more.

CELEBRATING HARRISON’S 125TH ANNIVERSARY

In 1800’s Harrison was a boom townExcerpts from “Images of America” Harrison, by Angela Kellogg and Cody Beemer

Half a century after Harrison’s beginnings in the unbroken wilderness of Northern Michigan and just a few years less from its heyday as more than ten years of “Michigan’s toughest town: its reputa-tion was still being talked about at least as far away as Detroit.

In the 1800s, Harrison was a boom town with a population of 2,000, many of whom were “some of the hardest and most col-orful characters Michigan has ever seen.”

“More than ten years of the lawless lumber ear

gave way to the begin-nings of a peaceful village in 1891,” the book’s back cover states.

After the trees were gone, the town was left barren and the remaining residents mostly poor. “The people of Harrison were barely affected by the Great Depression. Most of the residents were already as poor as they could get” the book’s introduction says, “living off of subsistence farming or hunting for additional food and income.”

In 1929, Detroit News reporter Kendrick Kim-ball came to Harrison to interview any of the “old lumberjacks, brawlers and tough guys who might still reside in the now peaceful

town, hoping to record the story of Harrison’s glory days of the lumber era.”

He found and inter-viewed two; Oliver Gos-ine and Oliver Beemer. “Gosine had been a cook in the lumber camps and foreman of the Wilson Brothers ice –cutting crew, while Beemer had been a saloon owner in both Clare and Harrison and later a prohibition-era whiskey runner and rumored affiliate of the Purple Gang.”

When Kimball inter-viewed the men Beemer, then 84 lived on a farm outside town and Gosine, in his seventies, was the owner of a refreshment stand for tourists.

They told him about the

infamous saloon run by a six foot former lumberjack Jim Carr and his “wife” Maggie, who had lived at logging camps at Farwell. “There wasn’t any law in those days,” Beemer reportedly said.

Gosine reportedly told Kimball that “he counted 27 ½ fights on the streets of Harrison in a single afternoon.”

Kimball’s article on a page of the newspaper was displayed in several places around town until the copies eventually dis-appeared, but it served as the basis for the many of the many, many legends of wild lumbering days of the City.

Many newspapers touted the potential for

Harrison as a summer resort community and the popularity of the auto-mobile and tourism soon brought people north. “The greatest growth oc-curred in the 1940s during World War II…when city workers were excellent prospects to own a cabin in the north woods.”

The introduction con-tinued, “Many seasonal property owners would later retire to the Harrison area.”

And, younger genera-tions of those first owners of vacation cabins still continue to come back to the beautiful north woods area around Harrison, and many retire to the area, increasing the prosperity of the community.

Kimball’s 1929 article probably contributed much to Harrison. The first sentence reads, “Harrison today is probably Michi-gan’s most peaceful town.”

The back cover of the book says, “The streams and lakes previously used for water, ice and log hauling became attrac-tive to tourists drawn by the slogan ’20 Lakes in 20 Minutes’. The miles of railroad and narrow-gauge rails turned into roads and trails for buggies and au-tomobiles used by settlers and vacationers. While agriculture largely failed in the tree-stumped wilder-ness of the early 1900s, the village prevailed into a city representative of small-town American life.”

Viewed towards the east from Dead Man’s Hill, the new courthouse and school buildings stand out in the barely cleared land of the village. The land was cleared and building

began in September 1879. Harrison was incorporated as a city in 1891.

HOW DID THE CITY OF HARRISONSURVIVE THE FIRST 90 YEARS

WITHOUT US?

An excerpt from the book outlining the development and history of The Car-riage House Inn

The original survey of Hayes Township, now a portion of the city of Har-rison, was made in 1857 by George E. Adair and his party, who covered the area by horseback and packhorses.

In 1878 a committee

Harrison named in honor of U.S. 9th Presidentwas formed and autho-rized to locate a site for a new county seat. The spot was a near to the center of the county as conveniently possible. The committee found the most likely place, surrounded by rolling hills, bluffs and a beautiful lake nearby.

On April 25th the fol-lowing year, the land com-missioner of the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad

agreed to plot forty acres immediately adjoining the lake and to the west. This land was to be used as the location of a new village to be the new county seat.

The nameless village was soon called Harrison in honor of our ninth Presi-dent of the United States and in honor of one of the first surveyors of the area, Harrison Cary.

The beautiful lake

resting alongside Harrison had to be named. The story has been told that a man named Budd climbed a tall pine tree to better scan the countryside. After sighting the lake, he called down to the men below, exclaim-ing, “There’s Budd’s lake.” Later it of officially named Budd Lake.

A Wilson family was among the first to settle in Harrison. In fact, the Wilsons were lumbering around Harrison when the village was no more than a very few shacks.

There were four Wilson brothers; William Hotch-kiss, Farwell Alonzo, Wil-liam Henry and Stickney B. The Wilsons were the “tim-ber Barons” of the area, owning vast acreage of timberland and sawmills in Harrison and lumber camps surrounding the village.

In Harrison there were

four Wilson Additions; subdivisions sold to the property owners, and then turned over to the city. Later the brothers deeded forty acres of beautiful woodland at the north end of the city, on the banks of Budd Lake, to the city for a park. The parcel of land was later turned over to the State of Michigan for use as a state park [and is] now known as Wilson State Park, one of the state’s most attractive and popular parks today.

The Wilsons built three of the largest homes in Har-rison on the banks of Budd Lake.

Clare County’s first sheriff was George Graham in 1885. He was followed by Gene Doty. Sheriffs of that time had some of the toughest, wildest charac-ters in history to contend with. The lumberjack was a

tough breed.The first Harrison

newspaper, called “The Clare County Cleaver” was published in 1880 by J.M. Russell. It consisted of a one-page, three-column sheet, 8 ½ inches by 11 inches. The newspaper is now owned by the Bucholz family who have been its publishers since 1937.

Back in the late 1870s and early 1880s, Harrison earned the reputation of be-ing “Michigan’s Toughest Town.”

Harrison was then a sprawling metropolis of 2,000 people containing 22 very active saloons, 12 restaurants, five hotels and many business houses.

In addition, there were armies of lumberjacks and many families of the hardiest and most color-ful characters in Michigan history.

The Lumbermen’s Supplies building stands in front of the livery stable and the Johnson House Hotel, which still stands as the northern part of the historic Surrey House.

Two were Silver Jack and Mike McGovern, each weighing nearly 300 pounds, each claiming (and proving) they could fall a horse with one blow of their fist.

T.C. Cunyan, known as “the man-eater from Pe-terborough,” was another colorful figure of those days. His favorite amuse-ment was biting chunks out of beer mugs.

Undoubtedly the most infamous characters that haunted Harrison’s past were Jim Carr and his wife Maggie. Together they operated a combinations saloon, dance hall and hotel resort on top of a hill towering over Harrison. In the early part of the 1900s the hill was named “Dead Man’s Hill” because of the dark deeds which are supposed to have occurred there.

Jim Carr was said to have buried several men in secret graves on the slope of the hill below the saloon. He is said to have “rolled” hundreds of lumberjacks and to traf-ficked in nearly every vice possible.

In 1885 Carr was con-victed of killing Frankie Osborn with a pair of brass knuckles. He was sentenced to 15 years in Jackson Prison. Later a new trial was granted by the Michigan Supreme Court and Jim Carr was set free.

Carr’s fortune dwindled from $75,000 to $2.00. It is said that later Carr built a resort on runners so it could be quickly moved across county lines.

Carr’s death marked an all-time famous scandal in Harrison’s history. Seven ministers refused to offici-ate at his funeral. Finally,

Jim Carr was laid away by a ceremonial procession of 500 lumberjacks, who staged services of their own. Carr’s grave is un-marked in the brush, rods away from the Meredith Cemetery, because the citizens would not allow him to be buried in the cemetery.

The bad-boy days have long since departed and Harrison has evolved into a pleasant community attracting tourists from all over Michigan, but any lo-cal resident is sure to offer a little “Harrison History of their own if asked.

You may want to take a stroll through the Harrison Community Library for a more detailed tale of Har-rison’s history.

The original Catholic church on Broad Street was built in 1900. A newer church erected in 1987 sits near the same location to the south on the corners of Spruce, Broad, and

Fourth Streets.

Clare spikers hope for better

Great expectations again for Clare boys, girls XC

Ben Haupt and Jasmine Harper at last year’s state finals.

The fall high school sports season may mean that it is officially the start of the changing of the season. While the seasons may change, one thing apparently doesn’t: the Clare cross country teams should be dominant again. The Lady Pioneers will be seeking their seventh straight Jack Pine Confer-ence title and the boys will be looking for their ninth.

“We are blessed to have a great group of athletes to work with, girls head coach Kyle McKown said. “Great leadership, good depth and strong incoming runners to add to the dy-namics of the team. Great students in the classroom, strong competitors on the athletic field and just a fun group to coach.”

On top of winning the league title last year, the girls were also runner-up at regionals and took 13th in the division three state finals meet.

They’ll return senior Jasmine Harper who took seventh in the state meet last year and sophomore Lainey Veenkant who placed eighth.

“Harper and Veenkant have their sights set on even stronger performanc-es this season,” McKown said. “Our returning veteran pack will be fun to watch all season and have also had an amazing sum-mer of training leading into the season. They have the opportunity to significantly improve from last season and to make a big impact on this year’s team. I think that we have some girls that are ready to break out and run faster than they ever have.”

Other girls returning to the team are Olivia Haring (sophomore, first team all-conference, all regional second team), Holly Pummell (senior, first team all conference), Hannah Brown (senior, second team all-confer-

By Ben MurphySportswriter

First year Clare head volleyball coach Shannon Zinser is the first to admit that things didn’t go as planned for her team last year. The Lady Pioneers struggled through the Jack Pine Conference season, going 1-13.

“The season was not what they hoped for last year,” Zinser, who has had stops as the school’s middle school and junior varsity coach the last six years said. “We are a team that is com-ing into the season with a new purpose, mind-set and a new ‘why’. We believe IT matters and we are working hard to be great on and off the volleyball court.”

Helping the team buck last year’s trend are seniors Tori Hitchcock (middle hitter), Annie Cole (middle hitter, JPC honorable men-tion), juniors Cami Miller (outside hitter, JPC hon-orable mention), Peyton Hubel (setter) and sopho-mores Kennedy Blackburn (outside hitter, setter) and Jayce Jordan (libero).

“We have a lot of depth in character, athletic ability and values on this team,” Zinser said. “I anticipate them all pushing each other to be the best they all can be. We are going to see who develops and strive to work with one heartbeat.”

Joining the team will be senior Kayla Junge (middle hitter), juniors Emily Austin (outside hitter), Kylee Hoffman (back row), Ruth Mooketski (back row) and sophomore Haley Miller (outside hitter).

“It’s going to remain to be seen (who the impact players are),” Zinser said. “We have a solid core of players back, but I’m going to wait and see who rises to the challenge. We have a bunch of players working to be great teammates and raise the level of their play. We’re excited to see how everything works itself out. We are a work in progress and we leave the gym every day knowing we did some things better and that we failed at others. We are accepting of the fact that failure makes us grow and we are willing to accept the risks that come along with failure.”

The Jack Pine Confer-ence is expected to be tough again this fall, but Zinser isn’t paying much attention to other squads.

“I am going to quote John Wooden for this, ‘Be concerned with your preparation, not theirs, your

execution, not theirs, your effort and desire, not theirs. Don’t worry about them. Let them worry about you,’” she said. “There will come a time when we’ll look a bit more outwardly, but as we look to change our culture a bit, we’re going to be as hyper focused as possible just on the things we can control.”

On Friday the Lady Pio-neers opened their season with a home quad, against Coleman, Evart and Tawas Area.

Against Evart Clare won 25-16 and 25-11, but then was topped by Tawas 25-23, 22-25 and 15-11. It then finished the day with a 25-

22 and 26-24 victory over Coleman.

Clare (2-1) was at Pine River on Thursday. The Pio-neers return to action Sept. 6 at Mt. Pleasant Sacred Heart.

“This season will be a good year,” Zinser said. “For us to say this was a great year, we will be able to look back on it and say we improved at the parts of the game that we can con-trol and did a good job han-dling the things that maybe we don’t control. If we see growth from day one to the end of the season, they’ll be better players, but more importantly more prepared for real life things.”

ence), Makenzie Harmon (senior, second team all-conference), Jordyn Bradley (senior), Ashley Loulis (senior), Montana Blain (junior), Tarryn Winter (sophomore), Lexy Harton (senior), Desiree Coe (sophomore), Grace Gomez (sophomore) and Erin Weeks (junior).

New to the team is senior Kasey Staley along with junior Ellie Kaechele, sophomore Katelynn Bay and freshmen Kameron Haag, Nicole Taylor, Bri Smith and others.

“We have a strong veteran group returning to lead this year’s team, we have a pretty deep team and the girls have worked very hard to prepare for the season,” McKown said. “We are fortunate to have a strong incoming group of athletes that bring leader-ship, toughness and a lot of fun to our team. Many of our incoming freshmen that have been leaders on the middle school team over the past few seasons have an opportunity to step into leadership roles on the team.

“Our goal will again to challenge for the JPC title, to qualify for the state fi-nals as a team and to finish in the top-10 in the state as a team,” he added.

For the boys, on top of winning their ninth straight league title last year, they finished second at region-als and eighth at the state finals meet.

“We have one of the largest and most dynamic teams I’ve ever coached,” boys head coach Adam Burhans said. “Anything is possible with this group. The returning upperclass-men have put in crucial and significant mileage this summer.”

Making the return trip to the team will be Ben Haupt (senior, all-state, all-conference), David Good (sophomore, state qualifier), Scotty Baldwin (senior, all-conference, state qualifier), Jayce Miller (sophomore, all-

conference, state qualifier), Dylan Morrish (sopho-more, all-conference) and Charlie Brown (all-confer-ence).

New to the team is senior Caleb Gomez, junior Justin McCown and freshmen Tony Cowles, Sabin Humphrey, Craig Humphrey, Skyler Sunday, Aric Kreuger and Kaleb Schroeder.

“Schroeder has the biggest shot of improving among freshman,” Burhans said. “He was one of the best junior high runners last year and has much potential. All returning all-conference guys equally have a specific role that needs to increase.”

Burhans keeps his for-mula for success relatively simple for his team. After all, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.

“If we race the way we’ve trained, the success, tradition and for each other mentality will and should continue,” he said. “Our goal is to get as many kids all-conference honors, retain the JPC title and get as many to the state finals as possible.”

Clare hosts its own in-vitational on Wednesday at Mid-Michigan Community College.

The Clare boys varsity soccer team may have lost a ton of talent off of last year’s team, but 14th year head coach Doug Helmling feels this team has what it takes to find success as well.

“With three seniors, we are a young team,” he said. “The six returning varsity players are going to be called upon to lead this young side into what is un-charted territory for most of them, but we are a fam-ily and we will endure.”

The Pioneers had a strong season led by high scoring Camden Dice last year, and went 13-9-2 and lost to Ogemaw Heights in the district semi-finals.

Returning from last that team are seniors Alec Foley (11 goals, six as-sists), Nik Schlicht (two goals, four assists), Mitch Hilyard, juniors James De-itsch, John Helmling (four shutouts as goalie) and sophomore Aidan Boyd (eight goals, seven assists).

“The three players who have established them-selves as clear team leaders are Foley, Helmling and Schlicht,” Helmling said. “Alec and Nik are two of our three seniors, they have a passion not only for themselves, but as seniors, but they want to build for the future of this program. John is a junior but aspires to coach one day, all three are natural leaders with an ingrained will to inspire their teammates and friends.”

The rest of the Pioneers will be making their varsity debuts, though much of the group has junior varsity experience under their belts already.

“Two new players who look to have the biggest impact on this season are

The Farwell girls golf team was a bit inexperi-enced last year, but should be able to use that experi-ence for better things in 2016.

“Last year was really a learning year for the team,” head coach Angela Pakledinaz said. “We only had one player with any sort of competition expe-rience (and still) we took four girls to regionals at the end of the season.”

Senior Haley Lewis returns for her fourth year of varsity golf, with

Emma Reynolds also returning for her senior year. Juniors Oliva Lake, Morghan Silvestro, Kourt-ney John, Siera Baginski all return for their second seasons.

New to the team is junior Megan Marhofer, sophomores Halle Conroy and Emma Tideswell and freshmen Lauren cotton and Brooke Baldwin.

“There is a lot of talent on the course this season,” Pakledinaz said. “Our returners have learned a lot and are a strong core. Our new players are eager to learn and play. Lewis is our top player with ability

and leadership, she does a great job guiding the girls around the course and helps with knowledge of play while they are playing. Lake has been playing a lot this sum-mer, working on her game and improving. I think she is going to post some personal bests this season. Kourtney and Siera are very steady players who are going to add consis-tency in score and Bald-win seems to be a natural, she has a beautiful swing and can drive the ball a long way.”

The Eagles are also hoping that with a more experienced team this year, comes some lower scores as well.

“I would like to see all upper class-men score below 60 for nine holes,’ Pakledinaz said. “It would be great to be able to take Haley to the state com-petition as a senior too. I believe that this group of girls is going to post some amazing scores. Not only are they wonderful young ladies but they are also academically on track. They are a lot of fun to coach.”

Mason Dice and Gavin Showalter,” Helmling said. “Both of these young men will be called upon to fill important roles. They each have a desire to work hard to make themselves better for the benefit of the team.”

The Pioneers will once again be members of the Northern Michigan Soccer League.

“Any school can have a good run and all are possible contenders, it is much too early to predict (the league winner),” Helmling said. “This year, as is every year our team goal is to be competitive in district play. If we win a division title, as we have done four times, so be it, but our main focus is to be

contenders once the state tournament arrives.

We find ourselves in a familiar situation, we have a collection of players who love this game,” he added. “When a coaching staff and a program has that luxury, the sky is the limit.”

Clare opened its season at home on Tuesday, against Swan Valley. The Pioneers dropped that non-conference contest, 5-0.

Jayce Miller was able to put three shots on goal but couldn’t get any into the back of the net. Goalie Helmling made 16 saves on 21 shots.

Clare (0-1) is at Midland Calvary Baptist tonight (Friday) and hosts Tawas Area on Wednesday.

Clare Middle School student and athlete Savan-nah Robinson partici-pated in the Strike out for Hunger program this year. The program allows local softball pitchers the oppor-tunity to receive pledges and donate to charitable or-ganizations of their choice, this year she chose the Mid Michigan Community Action agency food bank. Eva Rohlman, who is a Outreach Service Director from Mid Michigan Com-munity Action agency in-

formed Savannah that her donation of $500.00 will help to feed 25 families in our community.

Savannah received pledges varying from 50 cents to $1.00 for each strike out recorded over the course of this year’s softball season. Savannah pitched for both the Mid-land Lady Explorers travel team and the Clare 7th and 8th grade club ball team and finished the year with a total of 117 strike outs.

Saturday.Admission is free and

young adults and families are encouraged to come-as- you-are and enjoy the “gallery experience” this show provides.

The show theme “Home Town” was voted on at the August 2015 GAAG meet-ing so a member-artist who chose to compete in the judged portion of the show would have plenty of time to create his or her vision of that theme. Competing artwork and photograph promises to be varied in scope and subject matter.

A few choice pieces

As part of the day’s fes-tivities, MMCC will host a car, truck and motorcycle show, filling the front lawn with classic vehicles. For more information about the show, contact Meghan Keen at 989-386-6651 or visit our web page. Additionally, Imperial Wrestling Entertainment will join the festival for the 3rd year. Plan to enjoy this family-friendly, choreographed wrestling action.

Don’t miss an opportunity to enjoy a wonderful lunch, great entertainment, and a chance to win one of many prizes. For more informa-tion, contact Carol Darling-ton at(989) 386-6625.
