Armed Clare man holds police at bay for 9 hours
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
A 43-year-old Clare man
is behind bars after holding
police at bay for over nine
hours Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning.
Donald Anzalone was
arraigned by Magistrate
Karen Willing Wednesday
afternoon on one charge of
discharging a firearm in or
at a building, a four-year
felony. He is currently being held on a $100,000/10
percent bond with a courtordered mental evaluation
required before release.
Clare Police were called
to Anzalone’s home at 205
Dwyer Street one block
west of McEwan in the city
around 10 p.m. Tuesday
evening responding to a
report of an “armed, out of
control subject.”
Reportedly, police heard
of the incident when a man
came to Cops and Doughnuts and said his friend was
intoxicated and had a gun
in his home.
When officers arrived
they reported hearing shots
fired inside the residence.
Neighbors also reported
hearing a gunshot earlier
in the evening. According
to Clare Police, no one
else was in the house with
Anzalone.
Neighboring homes
and residents from one
building at Brookwood
Apartments across the
street were evacuated as
well as a foster care home
nearby.
Police attempted to
talk the Anzalone into
surrendering to them.
He “refused and became
very threatening,” police
officers reported.
The Michigan State
Police Emergency Service Team was called and
officers negotiated with
the him throughout the
night. At 6 a.m., the press
release said, negotiators
talked the then unarmed
Anzalone into coming
out of the residence and
at around 7 a.m., after
more negotiation he surrendered peacefully to
officers.
He was arrested and
taken to the Clare County
Jail to await arraignment
on undisclosed charges.
No one was injured
during the standoff. He
remains lodged at the
Clare County Jail.

Rick LaBoda’s previous
career as Clare-Gladwin
district court magistrate
and an elected position for
nearly two years as District
5 Commissioner collided
from a policy of the Michigan Employees Retirement
System.
LaBoda learned there is
a 2-year lapse from his effective retirement date this
September before he can
officially become reemployed with the county.
In other words, he can’t
run for re-election and has
now resigned from office.
He retired from district
court in 2012.
A MERS contact was
unavailable to explain the
policy further.
Elected officials are in
the same category as regular county employees.
A Clare County commissioner earns $7300
annually plus per diem for
certain additional responsibilities and pays into the
retirement system. A board
chairman earns $1000
more.
The 99 votes LaBoda
received in Tuesday’s
primary election for the
Democratic nomination is
worthless.
And, because of the
late timing, his name will
appear on the November
general election ballot as
the Democratic candidate
for his district.
County commissioners decided at a special
meeting Monday to name
a replacement to serve out
LaBoda’s term.
Don David who LaBoda defeated in the 2012
election ran a write-in
campaign Tuesday and will
be the Republican nominee
in November. David also
served as board chairman.
LaBoda probably could
either delay receiving a
pension or resign from the
board for which he serves
as its chairman.
LaBoda reluctantly
chose the latter.
He submitted his resignation letter to the county
effective Aug. 31.
“It happened so fast,”
after he applied for retirement and learned of the
new policy implemented in
2011.
“I had no idea. Even
the girls in payroll didn’t
know,” LaBoda said Monday.
His immediate resignation preempts calling for
a special election to have
someone fill out the term.
“I didn’t want to stick the
townships with a special
election,” he said.
This way, the county
board can appoint a replacement.

Kleinhardt favored ap-

Commissioners Jim Gelios
and Dale Majewski agreed.
The county has begun
accepting letters of interest
from District 5 residents
who are registered voters.
District 5 encompasses
all of Franklin, Hamilton
and Arthur townships and
the northern portion of
Sheridan Township.
Deadline is Aug. 22 for
resumes or statements of
interest to be submitted to
the Office of the County
Administrator in Harrison.
A special meeting is
set for 9 a.m. Sept. 3 for
commissioners to interview
candidates.
Meanwhile, the board
has a special meeting set
for Aug. 13 at which time
they will hold a public
hearing on a proposed budget and take action.
A home on Dwyer Street in Clare was the scene of neighborhood evacuations and a nine-hour police stand-off Tuesday night when an armed
gunman barricaded himself in his home. He finally surrendered peacefully and was taken to jail early Wednesday morning.
Three Farwell children
hospitalized with ‘superbug’
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Three cases of MRSA
(Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus)
nearby have a Farwell
grandfather very concerned.
Michael Methner of
Farwell says he just wants
people to know about this
dangerous infection, what
to look for and maybe help
prevent someone else from
going through wat they are
facing.
He said his six-year-old
granddaughter is fighting a
serious MRSA infection at
the University of Michigan
Hospital in Ann Arbor.
“She has been in the
hospital for two weeks with
an infection mostly in her
leg,” Methner said.
He said she is not the
only one fighting this resistant “Superbug” from the
Farwell area. “An Amish
neighbor’s son, who broke
his foot, developed MRSA
too and has been hospitalized in Grand Rapids,” he
said.
He said there is another
child from the Farwell area
being treated for MRSA at
Ann Arbor also. “They are
all from within a few miles
of here,” he said.
Methner’s granddaughter also had “a lot of mosquito bites,” he said, “and
she is allergic to mosquito
bites. I don’t know if that
has anything to do with
her infection.” His granddaughter Kiley is one of
three children in his son’s
family.
He said Kiley was being
treated for a sprained ankle,
but kept complaining of
pain in her leg. When she
developed a fever, she
was taken to Urgent Care.
From there it was a trip to
the hospital in Clare, then
a transfer to Covenant and
from there she was sent
to the U of M Hospital in
Ann Arbor for treatment.
“It took a week before they
knew it was MRSA,” he
said.
“She is on a full course
of antibiotics and has a
drain tube in her leg,”
Methner said. “The infection went right to the bone.
It’s been very painful for
her.” He said the CDC
(Center for Disease Control) is involved with the
case.
“Everyone needs to be
aware of this,” he said.
“MRSA can be very
serious,” said Dr. Robert
Graham, Medical Director of the Central Michigan Health Department,
“especially for people who
are dealing with weakened
immune systems, diabetes
or other health issues too.”
He said there are two kinds
of MRSA, healthcare associated and community
associated.
The CDC says people
at risk include young
children and the elderly,
college students, and prison
population. This might
include athletes, daycare
and school students, military personnel in barracks,
and people who recently
received inpatient medical
care.
MRSA began as
a hospital-acquired infection, but has developed
limited endemic status
and is now sometimes
community-acquired. The
terms HA-MRSA (healthcare-associated MRSA)
and CA-MRSA (community-associated MRSA)
reflect this distinction,
according to the website.
MRSA is a bacterium
responsible for several
difficult-to-treat infections
in humans. It is also called
oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA),

Rootbound Festival
this Saturday
By Sylvia Stevens
Correspondent The Second Annual Rootbound festival will be start
at 8 a.m. Saturday August
9 at 10885 N. Leaton Road,
Clare. The event is free and
has an antique and craft market that will start at 8 a.m.
and the antique auction will
start at 10 a.m. Last year’s
turnout was very promising
and organizer Haley Filhart
is hopeful this year will to. “For the first year I feel
it did pretty well,” Haley
Filhart said. “We had quite a
few vendors for our first year
and quite a few buyers.”
Filhart grew up in the
auction business and came
up with the idea for the event
because she hadn’t seen the
unique antique auction and
vendor market combination
done before.
“You see a lot of the
vendor only events. I have
always had this idea in my
head of this combination and
I don’t really see it happening up here in this area,”
Filhart said. “I just thought I
would try it out and see what
happens and so far it’s been
doing ok for something that
is just starting.”
The most challenging
this for Filhart is getting the
word out about the event to
potential vendors. She would
like to see the event continue
to expand and eventually
include not just antiques
but homemade crafts, baked
goods and produce.
“I am trying to build up
the market part of it as well
because I have quite a few
vendors with antiques and
I am also trying to promote
hand crafted pieces in and
kind of do produce and bake
goods and just a little bit of
everything,” Filhart said. “A
new thing I am doing this
year is a drawing and some
raffle items.”
Filhart has been trying to
keep the website update with
the ever increasing list of
items she will have available
at the auction, but she has
been receiving new items
every day. “I am getting a really
nice collection of different
things and I am getting new
things every day,” Filhart
said. “Every day somebody
is calling me with different
things and that they heard
about it or somebody recommended it.”
The money raised at the
event will be used to cover
the cost of next year event,
but Filhart hopes that as the
event grows eventually using it to help the community.
“When it gets big enough
someday I hope to involve
area organizations like
nonprofits to help reach the
community more,” Filhart
said.
Consignment items will
be accepted on location
today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Items being accepted include
antiques, primitives and collectibles either as individual
pieces or entire collections.

Jaynie Hoerauf reported
that the “summary” of the

words or less and “must
be sent to the State Attorney General for approval”
before it can be published.
“The whole matter is on
hold until after the A.G.’s
office approves it.”
She also said that after
the Attorney General
gives his approval, the
proposed charter amendment “must be submitted
to the Governor for his
signature. The proposal
cannot go to the electors
until after the Governor
signs it, or returns it with
his objections.”
Once it is approved, it
must go to the voters of
the city “not less than 90
days after the filing of the
petition.” She concluded,
“So until the Attorney
General approval and the
Governor’s signature (or
objections) are received,
the proposal sits and
waits.”

When I was a kid I got to
make my own memories.
Fishing, swimming, biking, canoeing and exploring
were my mainstays from
June through August. I
didn’t have a grandma to
visit, but I spent a lot of
time at my Aunt Ruby’s and
Uncle Sid’s.
They had the Au Sable
River in their front yard to
wade in and a hammock in
the yard to swing in. Plus
a couple of kids my age
(the Ash boys) just across
the river. We would spend
whole afternoons poling
their canoe upstream just
to paddle back down. That
river was so cold, your
feet would ache when you
put them in – but we went
swimming anyway.
Around home there was
always something to do.
Without TV we were forced
to make our own fun, but it
didn’t seem like much of a
problem.
When I was short on
playmates, I would go to
Summer Recreation, which
included activities and
games at the school and a
bus trip to Higgins Lake for
an hour swim.
When my cousins were
up for a visit there were
ball games in the yard during the day and card games
in the evenings.
A couple of trees growing nearly horizontal out
of the bank along the road
became an African jungle
when the neighbor kids
and I were in the “Tarzan”
mode.
Stargazing was a favorite evening activity as was
catching lightning bugs.
One of my very favorite
evening memories is sitting
on the porch listening to
the Whippoorwills singing
in the woods.
I spent every day
outside. I went barefoot
so much I had soles tough
enough to walk on hot
asphalt.
Tommy Patch (who visited his grandparents down
the road every summer)
and I went canoeing down
the AuSable on the Mason
Track every chance we
got. We built – and fell out
of – tree houses, built forts
and explored every path in
the woods we could find.
For four or five of those
summers between the ages
of 9 and 14, we were “best
buddies.”
That’s what makes summer so much fun – making
memories.
When those girls grow
up, and that’s not so far
away now, I want them to
say to each other, “remember at Grandma and
Grandpa’s when we used
to ….”

Investing
mistakes you
don’t have
to make
It’s easy to have confidence in investments made
during bull markets: share
prices climb and any losses
from poor decisions are
usually recovered quickly.
But times of increasing
market volatility tend to
magnify mistakes, and
many investors may lose
confidence in their decision-making. Let’s take a
quick look at one of these
common – but generally
avoidable – mistakes.
Skipping the Research
Determining whether an
investment is appropriate
for your portfolio requires
research. There are more
companies and investment
products to invest in today
than ever before, and you
need to gather information
before you can determine
which investments might
have potential for growth.
Before making an
investment decision, it’s
helpful to evaluate it in
the context of comparable
opportunities. At a minimum, you should find two
articles (from different
authors) about the company or investment product
and review the company’s
website. Both the investor relations section and
news announcements
found on the website can
provide useful information.
You should also review
financial statements and
carefully investigate anything that looks vague or
unusual.
Not only can doing your
homework help you to
make informed investment
decisions, it can also help
you to feel comfortable
with the holding in spite of
temporary ups and downs.
Did you leave 401(k) money on
the table at your old job?
If you left assets from a 401(k) plan with your previous
employer, consider an IRA rollover with Wells Fargo
Advisors. Please keep in mind that rolling over assets
to an IRA is just one of multiple options for your
retirement plan. Each option has different
advantages, disadvantages, investment options, and
fees & expenses which should be understood and
carefully considered. The costs of investing and
maintaining assets in an IRA with us will generally
involve higher costs than the other options available
to you. We recommend you consult with your current
plan administrator before making any decisions
regarding your retirement assets. As one of the
nation’s largest and most experienced IRA providers,
together we can find the right strategy to help meet
your goals.

Work to begin soon on Clare-north project
The Clare County Review - August 8, 2014 - Page 3B
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Clare City Commissioners approved bids for the
construction of the new
water tower, Clare-North
Industrial Park and the
reconstruction of a mile of
Colonville Road at their
regular meeting Monday
evening.
Bid approval for the water tower and the industrial
park, already approved by
the United States Department of Agriculture – Rural
Development, are contingent on the approval from
the Economic Development Administration,
which is expected in the
next few days, City Manager Ken Hibl said.
Dunigan Brothers of
Jackson was the low bidder
for the Division A project
– water, sewer and infra-
structure in the new park
at $1,181,821.80. Maguire Iron won the bid for
construction of the City’s
new water tower with
$1,444,000.
The bid approval for the
reconstruction of just under
a mile of Colonville Road
between Business U.S. 27
and just west of Eberhart
Road went to Malley Construction of Rosebush with
a bid of $699,999.50 contingent upon approval from
the Michigan Economic
Development Corporation.
The USDA has already approved the bid.
Construction will begin
on all three projects as soon
as the City gets approval
from the EDA and the
MEDC.
In another matter, the
City Commission heard a
report on the contamination
at the Hatton Township
Landfill by Dan Whalen
of Williams & Works of
Grand Rapids. Whalen
outlined his study of the
primary areas of contamination, trends, the track of
the primary plume migrations, projections and
recommendations.
The City owned landfill,
closed for many years, is
contaminated with Dioxin,
Trichloroethylene and
Tetrahydrofuran. Whalen
said at least 100 monitoring wells were installed on
the two main sites, north of
Clare, eight years ago.
He reported that although the contamination
plume has not decreased,
it hasn’t increased either.
“Tests are showing the
same concentration in the
same areas as tests showed
seven years ago,” he said.
He said that area has over
100 feet of sand and gravel.
Whalen said the Department of Environmental
Quality has recommended
that the City add two to
three new monitoring
wells northeast of the site.
He said he recommends
closing two to three present wells and would ask
the DEQ if they would
allow that. The Health
Department is still testing residential wells in the
area. He also recommended
requesting that testing,

change in the contamination or the progress of the

Implementation of his

and $30,000.

Seiter hopes Midland Chinese School will teach Farwell students
By Sylvia Stevens
Correspondent
The Farwell Area Schools
Board of Education met
Monday, but a quorum of
board members was not present to vote on any topics on
the agenda.
“Without a Quorum we
can’t approve the agenda, the
minutes or anything else,”
Superintendent Carl Seiter
said. None the less, the board
members made the best of
the situation and discussed
several topics that will be up
for a vote at the next board
meeting August 18. The
first topic discussed was the
continued search to fill a
high school special education
position and a high school
English position. The high
school has already narrowed
down the field of candidates
and will be presenting their
selections to Superintendent
Carl Seiter soon and then
he will present them to the
board for approval. Also the
job postings for a kindergarten and fourth grade position
were just recently posted and
a committee to review the
candidates will be formed
shortly.
Seiter then reminded the
board that the administration and a few teachers
would be attending a training
session for the Five Dimensions Teacher Evaluation in
Muskegon, Wednesday and
Thursday. “The administrative team
along with myself and three
teachers, one from each
building will be attending
Five Dimensions Training on
the teacher evaluation tool.
We have invited a teacher
representative from each
building to help promote that
openness and transparency
with regards to the evaluation process which I think
will bolster the relationship
between the administrators
and them,” Seiter said. “They
are going to receive the same
training that the administrators are going to receive and
then be yet another resource
for those teachers and any
questions they may have
about the process.”
Seiter then informed the
board about the ongoing
search to find an alternative
option for the students in the
Chinese Immersion program. Seiter was told by The
Midland Chinese School that
they would be able to handle
40 to 50 students, but he had
yet to hear back if a teacher
would be willing to travel to
Roe’s
celebrate
50th
Dick and Mary Roe of
Clare will celebrate their
50th wedding anniversary
on August 15, 2014. They
recently celebrated the
occasion with their family
on Mackinac Island.

on Page 799, and assigned by said Mortgagee to U.S.
Bank National Association as assignee as documented
by an assignment, in Clare county records, Michigan,
on which mortgage there is claimed to be due at the
date hereof the sum of Eighty-Eight Thousand Eight
Hundred Sixty-Five and 87/100 Dollars ($88,865.87).
Under the power of sale contained in said mortgage
and the statute in such case made and provided, notice
is hereby given that said mortgage will be foreclosed
by a sale of the mortgaged premises, or some part of
them, at public vendue, at the place of holding the circuit court within Clare County, at 11:00 AM, on August
27, 2014.
Said premises are situated in Township of Surrey, Clare
County, Michigan, and are described as: Lot No.25
of Golden Oak Acres No. 1 Surrey Township, Clare
County, Michigan. Also a parcel of land described as
commencing at the Northeast corner of Lot No 25 of
Golden Oak Acres No. 1, running thence North 100
feet; thence West 100 feet; thence South 100 feet; thence
East 100 feet to the place of beginning; also a parcel of

Farwell to teach the students
on a weekly basis.
“At this point I’m going
to meet with him and form
a gathering of some of the
parent groups and talk about
registration… I feel we need
to give preference to that third
grade group that has been
there the longest and then
move down,” Seiter said. “I
did talk to him about the possibility of one of his teachers
coming here to the school on
more regular basis…at this
point I am waiting for Joe to
tell me whether or not he has
anybody interested and then
we would talk terms with
how much would it take for
them to consider driving up
here and being here one day a
week, two days a week, three
days a week after school.”
The next item of business
was the status of the communication tower that the school
presently uses on Fire Tower
Hill. Seiter recommended the
school move its communication equipment off of that
tower and move it to one the
county will be using in Lake
George. “The county has done an
assessment of the tower that
we are on and found it to be
structurally a liability and in
their terms could come down
and they wanted us to know
that they are leaving that
tower,” Seiter said. “They
(the county) are getting out
of their contract and leaving
that tower and what that boils
down to is the school district
would have been physically
the only player on that tower
and thus putting the most liability on us.”
Even though there will
always be a risk of the tower
falling over Seiter believed it
was far safer for the district to
share a tower with the county
and thus share the liability
then to remain the sole user
of their current tower and
carry the bulk of the cost if
it falls. “In order to prolong our
communication abilities
I think moving to a better
structurally sound tower situation is the way to go,” Seiter
said. “The county is going
to handle all of the power
cost: they are going to handle
any ongoing maintenance
costs. The only cost to us in
this situation is a little bit of
new wiring and the cost of
moving our equipment and
placing it on that tower.”
Without a quorum the
board could not vote on
moving the communication equipment so it will
be brought up at the next
meeting. The final item of
business was a status report
on replacing trustee Duffy
Doxtader.
“Trustee Duffy Doxtader
has resigned do to reasons
out of his control,” Seiter
said. The board has 30 days
to find someone to take up
Doxtader’s remaining term
on the board that expires
December 30. Interested
individuals must submit an
application to Paula Sullivan
by August 12 and then can
attend the August 18 meeting
and make their case to the
board. “On the eighteenth we
will set up a time frame
where applicants can talk to
the board about why they
want to fill out the remainder
of this term, “ Seiter said.
“Then the board will make a
decision on who to appoint.”

the meeting Holly Thrush,
