Evan Cline and Jake
Blattner, Michiganders
from Brighton driving a 2005 Subaru
Impreza, are the first-place winners of
this year’s super production class at
Sno*Drift Rally. The competition is the
first in a national series of events that
make up Rally America.
Cline said this is the fifth consecutive
year he and his co-driver have competed
in Sno*Drift, and it’s the competition that
got them interested in participating in
Rally America.
“I came up here and spectated back in
2001, actually fell in love with it and knew
I had to do it,” Cline said after the win.
He described this year’s stages as “awesome.”
“The snow banks could have been a
little higher, but the actual grip on the
Staff reporter
road was really good,” he remembered.
Though there were some icy sections,
he said making the right tire choice
throughout the weekend and having a
well-prepped car were key in finishing at
the top of the podium.
“Last year, we finished second in the
championship for super production, but
we had issues at almost every single rally
which cost us podiums at every rally,”
Cline recalled. “It was the year of fourth
place finishes for us, so, to start off the
year in first place, we’re really happy to do
that.”
Being Michigan natives makes the win
even sweeter, he said. The team doesn’t
plan to participate in every national event
this year, but Cline said the win at
Sno*Drift got their season off to a great
start.

The Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona
Educational Service District is asking
voters to approve a 10-year, 3-mill enhancement millage
on the February 26, 2013 ballot.
If approved, none of the money would stay with the
AMA-ESD. The 3 mills would be spread out between the
Alpena, Alcona, Hillman and Atlanta schools districts.
The amount each school would receive each year is
based on their student count. The millage would be
levied beginning with the 2013 summer tax collection.
The money received by each school may be spent in any
way the local school board chooses. For example it could
be used to improve or maintain facilities, reduce class
size, improve student programs, be put towards transportation, or used for teacher development. For each
year of the millage, local school districts promise to seek
input from their community on the needs of the district,
than the local board will develop a plan for the use of the
millage revenue based on the priority of needs. At the
end of each millage year, the local school district will
report back to the community on how the money was
spent.
The ballot language reads: “Shall the limitation on the
amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in the Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational
Service District, Michigan, be increased by 3 mills ($3.00
on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10
years, 2013-2022, inclusive, to provide operating funds
to enhance other state and local funding for local school
district operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue
the intermediate school district will collect if the millage
is approved and levied in 2013 is approximately
$5,640,704.”
Each mill is equal to $1 on each $1,000 of taxable value,
so a levy of 3 mills would be $3 on every $1,000 of taxable
value. An example would be: If your home has an assessed value is $80,000, your taxable value would be
$40,000. 3 mills ($3) x 40,000 = $120, so you would pay
$120 towards this millage.
The total amount each district will pay can change from
year to year, due to fluctuations in taxable value.
This enhancement millage request is in addition to the
millage revenue that the AMA-ESD already receives.
There are currently three AMA-ESD millages that are
paid on by taxpayers in the Hillman and Atlanta school
districts. There is the Allocated General millage of 0.2139
mills, the Charter Special Education millage in the
amount of 0.6425 mills, and a second Charter Special
Education millage in the amount of 1.3318 mills. The
1.3318 millage is set to expire in 2016. The total amount
collected from the taxpayers in the Hillman and Atlanta
school districts and paid to the AMA-ESD on these three
millages in 2012 was $715,427.35.
Using the 2012 taxable values for the Hillman and Atlanta school districts as an example, an additional
$980,843 would be generated by the enhancement millage. $504,355 would come from the Atlanta school district taxpayers, and $476,488 from the Hillman school
district taxpayers. Of that, approximately $792,825 would
be returned to the Atlanta and Hillman schools. Each
school would receive approximately $1,023 per student.
Atlanta’s fall 2012 student count was 253 students, which
means they would receive $258,819. Hillman’s fall 2012
student count was 520 students. Based on that figure,
they would receive $531,960.
The remainder of the approximate $5,640,704 mentioned in the millage request language would go to the
Alpena and Alcona school districts, with Alpena receiving the most. Approximately $1,529,056 dollars would be
generated from the Alcona school district. Based on their
fall 2012 student count of 779 students, Alcona schools
would receive approximately $796,917. The Alpena
school district would generate approximately
$3,079,685. Their fall 2012 student count was 3,960 students, meaning they would receive approximately
$4,051,080 for their schools.

As of the regular county
board meeting, Jan. 23,
Deb Nagel, the county
board secretary, was working without a contract. The
county board voted to cancel the employment agreement for the secretary after
it was deemed to be illegal.
Commissioners Stacy
Carroll
and
Gene
Thornton voted in opposition to the motion to cancel the agreement.
“I agree the contract is illegal but it was signed by
the board and the secretary, and I would like to
continue
with
it,”
Thornton, board chair,
said.
Terrie Case, county attorney, said the contract
should have been for one
year or less instead of the
three years that was approved.
“The contract is invalid
because of the number of
years,” Case clarified.

Commissioner
Daryl
Peterson said he had not
been in favor of the process that resulted in the
hiring of Nagel as secretary
and that he didn’t believe
the process had been fair
to the previous secretary,
Candiss VanOverbeke.
Peterson said he would like
to see VanOverbeke get her
job back.
Thornton said he also
had issues with the process
of the previous board before he was seated as a
member.
“I sat in the back, and I
don’t agree with what went
on,” Thornton said. “The
board made a motion to
terminate the position,
then, hired someone on.”
However, he said he
would rather keep the position in place and staffed
as it currently is. A motion
to terminate Nagel as secretary failed with Carroll,
Thornton and Commissioner Rick Ferguson voting in opposition. No mo-
tion was made approving a
new contract with Nagel.
In other business:
• The county is advertising for sealed bids on a
Ford F-350 in the possession of the sheriff department. The truck is said to
need work.
• Approval was given for
the purchase of a computer for the veterans’ office at a total cost of $690.
• Although the board recently voted in favor of hiring Case as the county attorney, approval was given
to stay with previous counsel for the county for the
purpose of settling a Blue
Cross/Blue Shield billing
matter.
• Weinkauf Plumbing
and Heating was awarded
a service contract for a bid
of $64 per hour on regular
workdays and $93 per hour
after hours.
• The board voted in favor
of allowing Thornton to

Letters to the Editor 2012 hunting season safest in five years
The law is the law
To the Editor,
First, I want to say your follow-up regarding open carry
laws was both straight forward and simple to understand. You’re deserving of both praise and admiration
for accomplishing that, as we all know our laws can be
confusing and very difficult to decipher. Your references
to each section and how it related to the subject matter,
along with MSP Sgt. Maike’s comments clearly show
Prosecutor Terrie Case’s claim that it was an “error” is
flat out wrong. Not only did you show the law has already
been tested by the Fenton man in 2012 and proved
correct, you also allowed our prosecutor the space to
show her true colors to the law abiding citizens of Montmorency.
The law is the law. Many of us may not like some of our
current laws, but they are there because our constitution
has provided us the guarantees of those rights. Not only
is Terrie Case going against the already tested right to
open carry as indicated by the MSP, but also the attorney
general’s opinions 7113 (pg. 245) and 7097 (pg. 238) of
the Michigan Firearms Law Report. As the AG in 2002
(after the major 2000 law update Terrie references) Jennifer Granholm wrote opinions on this exact issue of
open carry and exemptions. Footnote 3 of opinion 7097
states as follows; “A similar statutory provision
criminalizes the possession of weapons in school zones
but expressly exempts certain persons, including persons licensed to carry a concealed weapon. MCL
750.237a.”
Are we to believe this is an error just because Terrie
Case says it is? While I believe Terrie has done an excellent job for our county prosecution-wise, I can not and
will not go along with her interpreting laws. Her job is to
enforce law and let her superior, the attorney general
provide law interpretation guidance. To threaten law
abiding citizens of her own county is both bullying and
unacceptable behavior!
I admit, I made a mistake and I am not afraid to admit
that. It appears Terrie will not admit it and under the
guise of safety for our children goes against her
colleague’s opinions and uses threats and posturing
against the citizens she swore to protect to get her point
across. Then to say accidental and friendly fire incidents
will become common place if this is allowed…Really? It
already is allowed, and just like in 2000 when the CPL
“shall issue” law was instituted, there were cries from
gun control freaks that said Michigan was going to turn
into the OK Corral with shootings rampant throughout
the state. Law abiding citizens and their guns are not the
problem; the tool a psychopath murderer uses is not the
problem.
My mistake was that I filled in the box next to her name
last November; I won’t make that mistake twice. Your
interpretation would not even make it to the Supreme
Court if challenged, so don’t kid yourself. The current
law is clear and has been tested already; don’t waste
Montmorency’s time and money, and get back to prosecuting the bad guy.
Respectfully,
Mike Lavens, Hillman
The 2012 hunting season saw only one fatality in the 15
incidents reported to the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources, making it the safest season in the last five years.
While there were three fewer incidents reported in 2011,
there were five fatalities in that year.
“We continue to emphasize the importance of the hunter
orange law, knowing your target and safe firearm handling,
and how they all are key factors in having a safe season,” said
DNR Law Enforcement Division Chief Gary Hagler. “We also
continue to encourage mentors to work closely with youth
hunters to teach them safe firearm handling skills. One incident this year involved a hunter under the age of 10.”
The incident involving a fatality in 2012 occurred in St. Clair
County on September 20 when a coyote hunter reportedly
shot and killed another hunter in an apparent accident.
There were no hunting incidents reported in the Upper Peninsula in 2012, compared to three in 2011, including one
fatality.
A total of three hunting incidents involved minors as the
shooter, with the youngest being six years old. The six-yearold was unloading his firearm when it discharged and unintentionally struck his father causing a leg wound.
Michigan hunting incident statistics for the last six years
are:
2012: 15 incidents with one fatality
2011: 12 incidents with five fatalities
2010: 14 incidents with three fatalities
2009: 18 incidents with two fatalities
Hagler credits Michigan’s hunter education program with
Michigan’s low rates of incidents over the last few years.
“There is no question that hunter education saves lives and
reduces injuries,” Hagler said. “It is incumbent that anyone
considering hunting as a recreational pursuit completes a
hunter education course with one of our highly dedicated
volunteer instructors.”
Changes to Master Angler program
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has announced that effective Jan. 1, 2013, multiple changes have
been made to the state’s Master Angler program. This program recognizes large fish caught by recreational anglers and
has been in place since 1973.
To determine whether changes were necessary for the Master Angler program, the DNR’s Fisheries Division reviewed
entries from the past five years and determined the minimum
entry weight and length needed to be updated for several
species.
The changes to the entry criteria were based on the number
of entries received for individual species from the past five
years, as well as environmental changes over the last several
decades that have impacted fish growth in Michigan. As a
result the entry criteria for some fish have been increased
while others were decreased.
In addition to the minimum entry criteria, multiple changes
were made to the submission procedures for both “Catchand-Immediate-Release” and “Catch-and-Keep” categories.
Also, black and white photos will no longer be accepted; all
photos must be in color.
All changes are highlighted in yellow on the new 2013 Master
Angler entry application, available online at
www.michigan.gov/masterangler, at any of the DNR’s Operations Service Centers, or by calling 517-373-1280.

A Hillman area individual is being investigated for possible animal neglect. The Montmorency County Sheriff’s
Office received a complaint of the situation. After investigating, 37 dogs and 6 miniature horses were seized by
authorities last week. The dogs rescued include Chihuahuas, huskies, miniature dachshunds and English bulldogs. Some of the animals were being kept in a barn and
doghouses, and did not have access to water or proper
bedding. The dogs that were being kept outside were
living on concrete.
The animals have already been examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, and medication has been prescribed,
as well as deworming for those who needed it. Many of
the dogs have skin issues from being dirty, and several of
the English Bulldogs have a treatable condition called
cherry eye.
At this point, it is up to the court to determine the
outcome of the animals. If it is determined that the
animals will not be returned to the owner, they will be
put up for adoption.
If the animals become eligible for adoption at a later
date, the information will be included on our website.
(see url below)
The horses were placed at a farm, and the dogs were
taken to the Elk Country Animal Shelter. In order to make
room for this many dogs, the Little Traverse Bay Humane
Society of Harbor Springs and teh Otsego County Animal
Control of Gaylord took a number of the dogs that were
currently housed at the Elk Country Animal Shelter.
If you would like to help the shelter with their care by
donating supplies or money you can contact the shelter
by calling 989-785-3738. You may also make a donation

Newly Introduced Firearms Bills of Interest
Senate Bill 63 and House Bill 4099: Assert immunity of
"Michigan-made" firearms from federal gun bans
(“Firearms Freedom Act”)
Introduced by Sen. Phil Pavlov (R) and Rep. Greg
MacMaster, respectively to establish that firearms which
are completely made in Michigan and remain within its
borders may be possessed and sold in this state, notwithstanding any potential federal gun bans that claim authority based on the U.S. constitution’s interstate commerce clause.
The Senate version was approved 3-1 by the Judiciary
Committee and sent to the full body for consideration.
Republican Sens. Jones, Schuitmaker and Rocca voted
“yes” and Democrat Sen. Bieda voted “no.” Meanwhile,
House Speaker Jase Bolger told Mirs News the House will
go slow on taking up gun bills given that emotions are
still raw after the horrific Newtown school shooting in
December.
House Bill 4098: Authorize school employee concealed pistols with appropriate training
Introduced by Rep. Greg MacMaster (R) on January 24,
2013, to make an exception to the “gun free school”
provision of the state concealed pistol permit law, and
explicitly allow a teacher, administrator, or other school
employee to carry a concealed pistol if the school’s chief
executive officer authorizes this and the individual has
received whatever additional training is considered appropriate by the chief executive. Referred to committee,
no further action at this time.
House Bill 4104: Expand concealed pistol law “gun
free zone” to libraries
Introduced by Rep. Andy Schor (D) on January 24, 2013,
to expand the “gun free zone” provision of the concealed
pistol permit law to include public libraries. The bill
would also prohibit carrying firearms openly (unconcealed) in a library. Some gun owners have protested
local library gun bans recently by openly carrying firearms in the library; nothing in state law explicitly prohibits the open carry of firearms. Referred to committee, no
further action at this time.

• It was Simon Cameron, who served as secretary of war
under President Abraham Lincoln, who made the following sage observation: "An honest politician is one
who, when he is bought, will stay bought."
• Many professional matchmakers say that one should
never date a person who is younger than half one's age,
plus seven years.
• The average human walks approximately 100,000
miles in the course of a lifetime. If that walking were done
in a straight line on the equator, you would circle the
Earth four times.
• In the early 1990s, a couple in Milwaukee was curious
about the value of a painting they had displayed in their
home, so they invited an art expert to evaluate the piece.
The painting in question turned out to be of little relative
value, but the expert noticed another work, a still life with
flowers, that the owners believed to be a reproduction of
a Van Gogh. Imagine this couple's surprise when the
work turned out to be an original 1886 painting, which
later sold at auction for $1.4 million.

Lewiston Bits and Pieces
by Ruth Munger
their trek north for the Winter Special Olympics, but unfortunately
they will not be stopping in Lewiston
for their annual fundraiser dinner.
It’s not that there is no “room at the
inn,” it is more that there is just no
inn large enough to accommodate
them here in Lewiston. They will be
stopping by the Fun Ones on Thursday, Feb. 7, for a hot dog and chili
lunch before they head to Atlanta for
dinner and an over-night stay. If you
want to make a donation to the
Michigan Winter Special Olympics,
you can either drop by the Fun Ones
and have some lunch and make your
donation, or Wendy at Sweetwater
Homes has agreed to be the collection person here in town. Lewiston’s
community support has been amazing over the years, and we are hoping
that by this time next winter, there
will be a facility open to house all our
winter sports visitors.
I happen to see Dee and Jim Quin
recently and they were quite appreciative that I shaved 10 years off and
made them younger. It seems I had
them celebrating 50 years together
when they have actually been married 60 years. Seeing as their oldest is
59, we both figured I’d better set the
record straight.
Too late to acknowledge on time, I
learned that another couple has
been married 50 years. Bob and
Darlene Brancheau celebrated their
day with family on Saturday, Jan. 19.
Their children hosted a big surprise
party for them this summer to honor
them and all their children, grand-

Salutations, readers. This cold snap
we have been having was certainly
hard on lots of folks. People with
heart and breathing problems had to
either stay in or use extra precautions when venturing out. Then
when they did go out, everything was
so slippery and salt didn’t melt anything because of the extreme cold.
Hope all of you made it through without any serious injuries or accidents.
Well, people, it is Girl Scout cookie
time. The Girl Scouts are out and
about taking cookie orders now, but
if you have been missed and want to
order, I have the information. You
can have a girl come to see you for an
order email wellingjen@gmail.com
or call 786-7135. If you want to take
your chances and wait, there will be
booth sales of cookies in various
places during the month of March.
The Wertz Warriors have begun
children and many friends and relatives came to help them celebrate.
Mark your calendar for Sunday, Feb.
10, when the J-L High School Band will
be putting on the annual pre-festival
concert and chili dinner. The event
takes place at the high school, with the
concert starting at 4 p.m. and dinner
following. It is not often we get a concert and dinner for the cost of a donation, so we may as well take advantage
when we can.

Q
: Some team is probably go
ing to connect with the Generation 6 car early. What do you
think is going to be the magic bullet? Is it going to be somebody with
a rear-suspension deal, is it going
to be aero?
A
: "I wish I knew that because
then I would be that guy.
Honestly, we talk a lot about trick,
but I will tell you that I'm not a trick
guy. I believe that you have to have
an entire package. When you have
that entire package, you may kind
of find a trick that makes that package better, but that doesn't necessarily transfer to the team next to
Jeff Burton, driver of the No. 31 Ri- you in the garage."
chard Childress Racing Chevrolet,
met with the media during a recent
test session at Charlotte Motor
Speedway. The following are some
of his comments:
Burton: FFresh
resh Start
With 'Gen 6' Chevy
Q
: You have talked about your
struggles the past year or
two and trying to get things
straightened out and back on
track. Is it a good thing that you
guys have a new car, or is that going to be another issue that you
guys are going to have to deal with?
A
: "I think the timing of the car
is good for us as a company. I
think that by anybody's measurements, we didn't have a good year
throughout the company last year.
We went almost the whole year
without winning a race. Kevin
(Harvick) won really late in the
year. So for us, I think it's easier
when there is a whole new car with
a lot of new rules."

Upcoming events:
• Feb 2, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. - Developing Young Entrepreneurs and Leaders in Gaylord
• Feb 6, Last day to register for Capital Experience
• Feb 9, 4-H at the Mill in Hillman 1-3pm
Big events in 4-H coming up
by Janel Woodward, 4-H Program Coordinator
4-H has two big events coming and registration deadlines are fast approaching. If you are interested in either
one of these events, stop by the MSU Extension Office at
the courthouse in Atlanta to find out how to register or
call 785-8013.
Capital Experience
Capital Experience is coming March 17-20, 2013 held in
Lansing, Michigan. Applications are due to the Montmorency County MSU Extension office by Feb. 6. It is
open to high school age teens interested in changing
government and moving Michigan to a positive future.
For four days in March, you will learn how government
really works. You will choose one interest area, including
environment, equality and personal rights, health, jobs
and the economy, agriculture and crime, drugs and personal safety. Through the “Michigan Legislative Simulation” you will get to propose a law and work through the
process of how an idea becomes a law. The total cost is
$310 for 4-H members and $320 for non-4-H members.
This covers costs for great meals, lodging (hint: bring your
swimming suit), travel to various locations around Lansing, resource materials and fun! Partial scholarships are
available. Check out the Capitol Experience website for
an event application at http://4h.msue.msu.edu/4h/
4_h_capitol_experience.
Exploration Days
More than 2,500 students and adult chaperones will be
on the Michigan State University (MSU) campus June 1921 for the 44th annual 4-H Exploration Days. This precollege program is for students ages 11 to 19 and adult
volunteers from all over Michigan. Participants stay in
residence halls and attend sessions in their areas of interest ranging from veterinary medicine to Web design,
performing arts, how to start their own business, organic
farming and many more. Nearly 200 hands-on classroom
and field trip sessions are offered.
Exploration Days, Michigan’s largest annual 4-H event,
is designed to help students learn new ideas and techniques, increase their interest in and readiness for college, explore career options, and develop decision-making, independence and teamwork skills. They also meet
and interact with people from different backgrounds and
areas throughout Michigan. 4-H volunteers and staff are
on hand to provide oversight and guidance. When not in
action-packed learning sessions, students will have a
plethora of recreation and MSU facility tour choices.
The online books will be available on Feb. 22 and the
printed version will be in the MSU Extension office March
7. Registration opens March 19, 2013 and the registration
deadline is April 30, 2012. Sessions are assigned on a firstcome, first-basis, so early registration is encouraged. For
more information about 4-H Exploration Days, visit
http://4h.msue.msu.edu/4h/4hexplorationdays.
These are both excellent programs for youth. If you are
not currently enrolled in 4-H you can still attend one of
these events. Scholarships are available. For more information or to enroll contact the MSU Extension office at
785-8013.
Q
A
: Talk about the new car, your
team and the 2013 season.
: "Obviously, we had some
work to do based on our performance last year, and the year before, for that matter. We certainly
made a lot of changes from the very
top of the company to a lot of positions within individual teams. I feel
good about what we have done. I
think our preparation, what we have
done to be ready before we start
building cars is at a different level
today than it was last year and even
the year before."

State offers to lease property to Briley
Township for recreational purposes
by Yvonne Swager
Staff reporter
Briley Township might
acquire the use of 40 acres
adjacent to recreation
property owned by the
township. At the regular
township meeting on Jan.
21, John Zollars, township
trustee, said the state is
agreeable to a lease of the
private property that has
been used in the past for
access to ski trails.
Zollars said attempts last
year to gain access across
the private property from
the property owner were
unsuccessful, so he contacted the state to inquire
about the possibility of a
lease on the property. He
said a local representative
for the Department of
Natural Resources has also
become involved in the
quest for access.
“It looks to me like they
are ready to go. All we have
to do is approve this lease,”
Zollars said.
The lease is at no financial obligation to the township as long as the property is being utilized for
recreational purposes, according to Zollars.
“There are some real advantages to this forty
acres,” he pointed out.
In addition to extending
the ski trails, Zollars said
the DNR has been consulted about the possibility of opening up a nearby
road accessing a tower for
use as a scenic overlook.
He said one could see almost as far as Gaylord from
that spot on some days.
“There’s a great potential
there for a good tourism
attraction,” Zollars summarized.
Anna Rogers, township
clerk, suggested legal
counsel review the lengthy
lease agreement prepared
by the state before the
township board approves
signing it. The matter was
tabled until a special meeting scheduled for Feb. 6.
Also discussed at the recent meeting was whether
a vote at a previous meeting thought to have passed
actually did pass. The 3-2
vote was concerning a motion to require background
checks on all volunteers for
the township.
Bruno Wojcik, township
trustee, explained that discussion on the motion had
been limited because
Michael Wurtsmith, township supervisor, had
“called the question” or
demanded a vote before all
of the discussion on the issue had been completed.
Wojcik said Robert’s
Rules of Order require a
two-thirds vote in order to
pass when discussion is
limited, which, on a fivemember board, would be a
4-1, not a 3-2 vote.
“I’m just trying to make
the point that I believe that
the motion failed, so I cannot vote to approve the
minutes,” Wojcik said.
In other business:
• After being asked to
work together to develop a
job description for the office employee, Bonnie
Flynn, treasurer who also
works in the office, and
Rogers produced two different documents.
• Flynn developed an employment agreement pertaining to her current position as the office employee,
and Rogers produced a generic job description for
anyone in that position.

The matter was referred
to the personnel and policy
committee, which consists
of Flynn and Rogers.
• Flynn has been appointed to four committees, Rogers, Wojcik, and
Wurtsmith have each been
appointed to two committees and Zollars has been
appointed to serve on one
committee.
• The board voted in favor
of paying Yeo & Yeo up to
$6,000 plus travel expenses
for conducting an audit of
the township because the
township is past due for a
required audit. Flynn
voted in opposition after
indicating that amount is
about three times what the
township has paid in the
past for an audit.
• A motion passed in favor of purchasing a
Microsoft update at the
cost of $279.
• Approval was given to
pay an accounting assistant $15 per hour for up to
20 hours per week.
• The blight officer, John

As a result, discussion took
place regarding combining the two positions. The
matter is on the agenda for
the special Feb. 6 meeting.

turn out of 84, the Recreation Committee
thanks all the TREK volunteers for their
hard work in making the TREK a great
success. In the aftermath of the Dec. snow
storm, the volunteers that took on clearing the trail had the biggest task and challenge this year. Volunteers set up and ran
food sites, helped serve, set and tended
campfires, set/removed blockades, and
donated appetizers, main dishes, and
desserts. A big thank you to Sue
Schymanski for the use of her garage for
the chili/soup site and all effort she put
into making that a special stop. Eric and
the Ranch staff are to be complimented
for providing their support and hard work
once again this year. The generosity, work,
time, and talents of our volunteers made
this event possible. To everyone that
participated.Thank you. Kudos to all.
Also, a big thank you to the TREKers for
their generous monetary donations to
help cover the food costs.

J-L Cardinals suffer second loss of the season
Lady Tigers defeat Huskies, 70-16
by Yvonne Swager
Turnovers plagued the
Cardinals from Johan–
nesburg-Lewiston in their second season
loss to the Cardinals from Onaway. The
Jan. 23 game in Joburg ended with the
final score of 72-57, Onaway.
Joburg took an early lead of 13-8 with the
help of five points from Cole Nagy.
Onaway came within one in second quarter play, and a downtown Onaway shot
changed the momentum, putting
Onaway up for the rest of the game.
Troy Huff, coach for Joburg, estimated
his team had about nine turnovers in the
first half of the game and possibly as many
Staff reporter
as 12 in the second half. He credited his
players with a good team effort in applying the press in the final quarter, but said
his team was just down too much to recover at that point.
Huff said his team struggled offensively
in hitting the open corners for the easy
look, but the team is young and will hopefully grow from the play against the more
experienced Cardinals from Onaway.
The top scorers for Joburg were Nagy
with 13 points, including three triples,
Logan Huff with 11 points and Jake Newell
and Cameron Nickert each with eight
points.
by Yvonne Swager
Hillman’s Lady Tigers
downed the Lady Huskies from Atlanta on Jan. 21 with a final
score of 70-16, Tigers. John Kuzewski,
coach for the Tigers, said his team has
been improving on defense.
The top scorers for Hillman were Jensen
Tchorzynski with 20 points and Alissa
Jones with 15 points. The leading
rebounders were Katelyn Kenyon and
Morgan Hardies, each with 11, and Jones
with nine rebounds.
The Tigers had won five straight games
in a row, including the victory over Atlanta, to achieve a record of 7-4, but two
recent losses, one to Posen and one to
Arenac Eastern, left them at 7-6 for the
season and 7-3 for the league.
“I’ve definitely seen improvement in defense. The girls are really working hard,”
Kuzewski said.
The leading scorers for Atlanta in the
Staff reporter
game against Hillman were Lacy
Ferguson with 11 points and Kayla
Durocher with four points. The game took
place on Monday after the Huskies had
played at Arenac Eastern the previous Friday.
“Mondays are kind of sluggish days, I
hate to say,” said Melony Haskin, coach
for the Huskies.
The Huskies went on to play Mio the
following Thursday, and Haskin said she
saw better things happen for her team
during that game.
“It was one of our better first halves,
really. The girls were looking for each
other and moving without the ball,” the
coach said.
The Atlanta scorers in that game were
Durocher with eight points, Ferguson
with seven, and Cheyenne Berryhill and
Ariann Fulkerson each with two points.

Warriors
by Yvonne Swager
Forest Area’s Lady Warriors were unable to bring
down the high-flying Lady Cardinals from
Johannesburg-Lewiston on Jan. 24. The
Warriors never really posed a threat, and
the Cardinals led throughout.
Joburg led 12-6 after the first quarter of
play with the help of five points from
Madison Showerman and four from
Hailey Weaver. The Cardinals continued
to stretch the score gap throughout the
first half.
Joburg’s Abby Schlicher lit up the board
and the crowd with two triples as well as
four from the floor and two from the line.
Katelyn Weaver, Hannah Huff and Brittany Cherwinski pitched in to help the
Cardinals to a 20-point lead at the halftime break.
Seven third quarter points from
Cherwinski, five from Showerman and

four from Huff assisted in boosting
Joburg to a 36-point lead after three
quarters of play. The story became
gloomier for the Warriors as the final
quarter progressed.
Cardinal Katie Kierczynski fired off a
triple for emphasis at the start of the
fourth. Natalie Hamilton followed with
a score and a steal that resulted in another Joburg bucket. She found the hoop
one more time for good measure before
Julia Nieman made good with two
points on a steal.
Shannon Kievit found success from the
line for Joburg as the final seconds ticked
down, taking the game to the ending
score of 67-23, Cardinals. The Cardinals
were undefeated this season until their
second match up against the Gaylord St.
Mary Snowbirds on Jan. 22.

NICK JUDKINS, navigator for Nick Roberts, poses by their 2012 Subaru Impreza halfway
through the Sno*Drift competition when they were ranked ninth overall. The team went
on to take third place in the super production class on their first trip to Sno*Drift and their
second ever rally event.
Newcomers RRoberts
oberts and Judkins tak
takee 3rd place
by Yvonne Swager
Newcomers to the
Sno*Drift Rally made the
podium this year. Nick Roberts and Nick
Judkins, Minneapolis, took third place in
the super production class at their second
ever rally event.
Last year, the two began talking about
their mutual interest in rally competition.
Judkins said Roberts called him up shortly
after and asked if he was serious.
“Seven months later we put the car together and had it built and made it to
LSPR,” Judkins said.
LSPR is a regional event in Houghton
that is expected to become part of the
national circuit. That race took place near
the end of last season, and this year’s
Sno*Drift was the next opportunity.
“Apparently, we’re doing pretty well.
We’re in ninth overall right now,” Judkins
said halfway through the Sno*Drift competition.
The first stage was a little rough, he said,
and Roberts had to take some corners a
little slower and learn how to maneuver
the car.
Staff reporter
“I just kind of got back into the rhythm of
reading the notes. We just kind of found a
good rhythm,” Judkins explained.
He said he learned during his first race
experience to try to take it easy and have
fun.
“Push yourself to a level that you’re comfortable with,” Judkins advised.
The pair went on to take third place for
super production. After the awards,
Judkins was asked if it’s wise to sit in the
passenger seat on roads covered in ice
and snow.
“With him behind the wheel, yes,”
Judkins replied, referring to Roberts.
“He’s a very talented driver. I have a lot of
trust in him.”
Overall, Antoine L’Estage and Nathalie
Richard, driving a 2011 Mitshbishi Lancer
Evolution X won the 20 stage race with
comined time of 2:24:22.0. David Higgins
and Craig Drew, driving a 2013 Subaru
WRX STI took a close second place with a
time of 2:24:28.2. Leonid Erlichich and
Carl Williamson, driving a 2007 Subaru
Beast placed third with a time of 2:36:12.4
N0W At The
LEONID ERLICHICH and navigator Carl Williamson drove this 2007 Subaru Beast into
third place overall. Pictured above, spectators cheer them on during the Orchard Road/
Avery Lake Rd. stage on Friday.

At the Hillman United
Methodist Church Pastor
Don chose “His Heart, Our
Mission,” as the title for his
sermon, which was based
on scripture from Luke
4:14-21, 1 Corinthians
12:12-31a. Ashley Bartow
acted as acolyte for the service. The choir sang “I’m
Adopted” and the beautiful anthem “We Gather
Together,” which was accompanied by Sue Barsen
on the piano. We were
blessed and thank Ron and
Ada Ferguson for serving
refreshments after the
worship service.
Please keep all those on
the prayer, our churches,
our young people going to
school and college, servicemen and women and
their families, and our
country and leaders list in

Jeremiah 1:4 and 5.
Here is a good report: Our
adult Sunday school class
has had five weeks of perfect attendance. We are
studying the book of Genesis. It is interesting, how
from way back then to
now, things in human nature have changed yet
stayed the same.

in progress. All are invited
to join. Class is on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Lewiston at

women in the military, and
for our country.

Mrs. Iva Charlotte Webb, 88, of Hillman went to be with
the Lord on January 21, 2013. She was born on December
17, 1924 to Asahel and Myrtle (Rymer) Howard in Coline,
Michigan. She grew up at McCollum Lake near Curran,
Michigan and attended school in Fairview. She married
Kenneth E. Schroeder in 1945 and moved to the thumb
area of Michigan after World War II. She and Kenneth
had two children, Gene (Nancy) Schroeder of Atlanta,
and Glenna (Edward) Spencer of Hillman.
She began her working career with Verizon in Cass City,
Michigan as a “trouble operator” when it was still General Telephone, moving with her work to Davison, Michigan as things became more computerized.
After the death of her husband Kenneth in 1967, she
married Ronald L. Webb in 1969. She gained two daughters in that marriage, Josephine (Craig) Dohning of Cass
City and Pamela (Robert) Muxlow of Hillman. She considered them her own. During her marriage to Ronald,
she retired and enjoyed traveling summers and spending winters in Florida. After his death in 1989, she continued his custom by driving herself to Florida for the winter
until she reached the age of 81. In 1996 Iva moved to the
Hillman area and became a faithful member of the
Hillman Free Methodist Church.
Iva was an avid gardener, reader, quilter, and seamstress. She enjoyed knitting and crocheting, as well as
jigsaw, crossword puzzles, and card and board games.
She is survived by her four children; 12 grandchildren;
27 great-grandchildren; sister, Dorothy Beals of Burton;
numerous nieces and nephews; and many friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Asahel and
Myrtle Howard; first husband, Kenneth Schroeder; second husband, Ronald Webb; sisters, Leola Mazany,
Thelma Coon, Edith Des Jardin, Ruth Stahl, and Margrete
Coon; brother, Asahel “Bud” Howard; son-in-law, Edward Spencer; and great-grandson, Gabriel David Spencer.

Janice Lynn Levendoski
Mrs. Janice Lynn Levendoski, 63, of Lewiston, Michigan passed away suddenly on January 21, 2013. She was
born to the late Theodore and Phyllis (Angell) Battin in
Lansing, Michigan on July 8, 1949.
On November 30, 1974 in Lansing she married Thomas
Levendoski, and together they raised a family. They
moved to Lewiston from Holt, Michigan in 1991. She
worked as a beautician for 40 years in both Holt and
Lansing areas and was the owner and operator of
Roselawn Manor Salon for many of those years. She
enjoyed many things in life, including her love for fishing
and being on the water. She liked to take trips to the
casino and gamble and was often the luckiest person
there. She had a love for her ’65 Mustang, her animals,
and most importantly, her grandkids. She will be incredibly missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her husband of thirty-eight years,
Tom Levendoski of Lewiston; son, Ted (Angie)

Jerold Robert Scovie
Jerold Robert Scovie, born
May 15, 1959, to Robert and
Alice Scovie in Marshall,
Michigan, slipped peacefully away to the Lord on
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
after a short but courageous
battle with cancer. Jerry was
an avid sportsman who
loved hunting, fishing, and
the outdoors. Jerry loved
northern Michigan.
Jerry graduated from
Marshall High School and
attended Kellogg Community College and Spring Arbor
University. His career in quality control within the automotive industry spanned Quincy Products, Johnson
Controls, and Ford Motor Company before he became a
private consultant for Proxemics Consulting and Summit Polymers. His happiest years were those he spent
with Sharyn, who was the love of his life.
Jerry was gifted with a magnetic personality that fostered long-term friendships, which he cherished. He
leaves his mark on the hearts of many, and we are all
better to have known him. We are consoled by our certainty that his ever buoyant, indomitable faith has led
him into the arms of the Lord. Jerry leaves behind big
shoes that nobody else can ever fill, dreams that we need
to finish, and the gift of an abundant love we are free to
share. To quote him, “Believe it.”
Jerry loved his family and is survived by his wife, Sharyn
Ann (Gossett) Scovie; his father, Robert Frederick Scovie;
sister, Janet Louise Hamilton; brother, John Edward
Scovie; brother, Jay (Trina) Scovie; sisters and brothersin-law, Tami Scovie, Deanna (John) James, Jed (Fran)
Gossett, Terri (Brent) Sinn, Dwayne Neil Gossett; and the
following nieces and nephews: Lindsay Scovie, Allison
Scovie, Laurel Scovie, Rebecca Scovie, Hannah Scovie,
Jonathan Scovie, Jordan Scovie, Kyle Scovie, Jay
Hamilton, Jon James, John Munro, Adam James, Jed F.
Gossett, Jr., and Marrissa James.
His mother, Alice Louise Egbert Scovie; sister, Mary
April Scovie, and brother James Fredrick Scovie, preceded Jerry in death.
Jerry spent his life helping others and was ever eager to
champion the cause of the underdog.
A mass in his honor was held January 25, 2013 at St.
Fabian Catholic Church in Farmington Hills. A memorial service for Jerold will also be held at a later date in
Lewiston, Michigan.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made
to the American Cancer Society, Catholic Relief Services,
or the Michigan Humane Society.

goes up close with kids, parents and administrators to see how bullying is handled.
The message at the core of the movie is that
not enough is being done. Rather than explore the causes of bully behavior, the film
focuses on how school officials, legislators
and communities have shrugged off the effects of bullying, while children still endure
senseless cruelty every day.
PICKS OF THE WEEK
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (PG-13) Charlie (Logan Lerman) is a lonely 10thgrader just hoping to make it through the
school year. He has no close friends, and no
hopes of finding any joy in his teen years.
Charlie's perspective changes after he gets
swooped up by two seniors (Emma Watson
and Ezra Miller) who show him that life is
bigger than our insecurities.
The film is based on a novel by Stephen
Chbosky, who adapted it for the screen, and
directed it himself. And it totally works. The
movie is funny, heartfelt and sensitive. Anybody who has been or still is a teenager can
find something in this story that speaks to
them.
The Sessions (R) - Mark (John Hawkes) is a
writer who can't write. Since he caught polio
as a child, he's spent most of his time in an
iron lung (a giant tube that helps him breath),
and the rest of his time on his back, hardly
able to move. He's also 34 and a virgin. After
talking it over with his caregiver and his priest
(William H. Macy), Mark gets the blessing to
see a sex therapist (Helen Hunt), a licensed
professional who can walk him through his
first few times. It's a heartwarming, grownup
movie about sex. The experience is funny,
relatively easygoing and rather uplifting.
Bully (PG-13) - This documentary explores
what bullying does and has done to the youth
of America. Immediately, the stakes are set
high. Documentarian Lee Hirsch finds two
families who have lost children to suicide
after they were bullied. The movie also follows Alex, a boy who is bullied every day
because of the way he looks. The filmmaker
The Man with the Iron Fists (R) - This is a
cheesey, overdone pile of kung-fu runoff, and
it's all clearly made with love. Thank writer,
director and star of the film, RZA. The movie

Q
: I've always really liked Anthony
Michael Hall, especially his recent
sci-fi series, "Warehouse 13." However, I do
miss seeing him in comedies: His gueststarring turn on "Community" a few seasons back was hilarious. Can you tell me if
he'll be on a comedy soon? -Audrey W., via email
: When "Awkward" returns to MTV
this summer for its super-size third
season, Anthony Michael Hall will join the
hit series as a teacher at Jenna's high school.
According to those in the know, Anthony
will play a sadistic creative-writing teacher
who insists on pushing his students beyond
their academic limits. Anthony also co-stars
in the feature-film comedy, "Sexy Evil Genius," along with Michelle Trachtenberg,
Seth Green and William Baldwin.
***
: While I wasn't a big fan of the story
line Scott Foley had on last season's
"True Blood," I was excited to see him in my
living room again after leaving "Grey's
Anatomy." What can I see him on next? Trudy K., via e-mail
: I agree with you, Trudy. Scott Foley is
one
of
those
underrated,
underutilized actors who we need to see
much more of. So, you can imagine my
happiness upon discovering that he is set to
guest-star on one of my favorite shows,
ABC's "Scandal." His character is said to be
a part of a major story arc that will play out
toward the end of the current season. Creator and head writer Shonda Rhimes was
eager to work with Scott again after his run
on "Grey's," so one show's loss is another's
gain!
***
: A while back you wrote that "Unfor
gettable" had belatedly been renewed for a second season; however, I've
seen neither hide nor hair of it yet. Please tell
me that the suits didn't change their minds
again! -Hilary S., Portland, Maine
: Don't worry, Hilary, the Poppy Mont
gomery-starring police procedural
will indeed have its second season on CBS.
And we now have a premiere date, which is
Sunday, July 28 at 9/8c. As I reported previously, season two will comprise 13 episodes,
with Dylan Walsh, Jane Curtin and most
other cast members returning.

Readers: A few months ago, I was disheartened to report that AMC had decided
not to renew "The Killing" for a third season.
In another rare reversal, along the lines of
CBS's renewal of "Unforgettable," AMC recently announced that the crime drama
WILL be back for a third season.
Season three takes place a year after the
Rosie Larson case was solved, as Stephen
Holder (Joel Kinnaman) searches for a
runaway girl and uncovers a string of
murders connected to Sarah Linden's
(Mireille Enos) previous murder investigation. Linden, no longer a detective, must
return to both a career and a case she had
put behind her.
All this renewal reversal has given me new
hope for ABC’s “GCB” to return, whether
with ABC or another network. Let’s make
this happen TNT, I’m looking at you!

"Quiet: The Power of
Introverts in a World That
Can't Stop Talking"
By Susan Cain
1. Name the group that released "Fire!" in 1968.
2. Who sang "He's the Greatest Dancer," and when?
3. What's the story behind the name of Roxy Music?
4. Who wrote and released "The Safety Dance," and
why?
5. Name the song that contained this lyric: "The more
you fall in love. The more your heart can break in two,
Now that you've said goodbye."
Answers
1. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. During performances
of the song, Arthur Brown would wear a helmet that, yes,
was on fire. A dish with lighter fluid was bolted to a cap he
wore.
2. Sister Sledge, in 1979. The song came back when
Dannii Minogue used it on her "Club Disco" album in 2007.
3. Frontman Bryan Ferry was passionate about movies and
the theater, as well as old dance halls and cinemas. Roxy
was a popular theater name.
4. Men Without Hats, in 1983. The song was a protest
against bouncers who admonished club dancers not to
pogo, which is basically jumping up and down in place,
although without a pogo stick.
5. "Big Love, Big Heartache," performed by Elvis Presley in
the 1964 film "Roustabout." After being run off the road on
his motorcycle, Presley's character, Charlie Rogers, is
invited to be a carnie at a traveling carnival.

When "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop
Talking" by Susan Cain was first
published in hardcover in 2012, it
spent 42 weeks on The New York
Times bestseller list. Now available
in paperback, "Quiet" will once
again spark a national conversation about the power of introversion in a world that reveres gregarious, loud-talking extroverts.
A self-acknowledged introvert,
Ms. Cain argues that our culture
holds a deliberate bias toward the
Extrovert Ideal (the highly verbal
alpha personality) while dramatically undervaluing the strengths of
introverts (introspection, persistence and sensitivity). Yet many of
the greatest achievers of the 20th
century were introverts, including
Eleanor Roosevelt, George Orwell,
Rosa Parks, Marcel Proust, Warren
Buffet, Dr. Seuss and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak.
In Part One of "Quiet," Cain
charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal
and how its far-reaching effects
permeate our culture. In Part Two,
she explores the psychology of tem-

Reading
perament and the roles of hereditary and free will in personality. In
Part Three, Cain compares the differences between Western culture,
where the individual is deemed
most important, and Eastern culture, where the success of the
group is valued above that of the
self.
In Part Four, she offers practical
advice on everything from how to
network if you dislike small talk
and being a "pretend extrovert"
when it is beneficial, to better negotiating introvert-extrovert relationships and helping an introverted child to navigate school and
foster friendships.
"Quiet" commands attention by
championing the power of silence
and solitude in a world that often
rewards attention-seeking behavior. It is a book that will get people
talking at a time when the pressure
to entertain and sell ourselves, and
never visibly be anxious, keeps escalating.

...and other tales of growing up
in Montmorency County

Recollections of my Grandfather
Grandfather,, Sylvester SS.. King
As I remember - PPART
ART IV
By Douglas A. King
The whiskey had been approved by Dr. Young, his
physician, but I suspect there were two other reasons for
the consumption; first to wash away the after taste of the
Epson salts, and cod liver oil, and secondly, he liked the
stuff in the “Little Bottle with the Big “7.” I had heard
many a tale of his experiences he had in his time in Africa.
After he had finished his medical routine, I would pull up
a chair along side his bed, and would ask him to tell me
all about it.
He told of leaving Khartoum on a company patrol to
locate the enemy and to determine their strength. Somewhere in the desert they were ambushed and suffered
heavy losses. A severe sand storm suddenly developed
which saved them from the enemy on their attempted
retreat back to Khartoum. It was a pretty grim picture he
described, the tough job of walking in, and through, the
blowing sand, and of wounded men trying to keep up
and eventually falling down and begging for help.
As we trudged by them we would answer, ‘We will come
back tomorrow to get you,’ he said with tears in his eyes.
“We knew damn well there would be no tomorrow.”
They continued to struggle along and the sand storm
finally subsided. By then it was dark and the stars came
out very clear; it was a moonless night. The captain in
charge assembled what troops he had left and indicated
they should continue their march in a certain direction.
I later learned in my Marine Corps experience that the
most dangerous thing in the Corps was a lieutenant or
captain with a compass and a company of troops. Apparently that was true in those times too because the Scotsman could tell directions by the stars. At that point. he
told the captain that they should not go in that direction
because that would take them right back into the hands
of the enemy, and that they should go another direction.
The captain exclaimed, “If you go in that direction, I
will court martial you.”
Sylvester replied, “Sir, if you go in that direction, you
will never court martial anybody.”
At that point, all but three men. went with the captain.
Of the three men left to head back to Khartoum, two were
Scots and the other an Englishman. How long it took
them to get back to the city I do not know, but when they
did arrive General Gordon had been assassinated and
the city was under siege and burning. Somehow or another, they found a raft, crawled on and started floating
down the Nile. They would hide by day and float by night.
They lived off of grubs, roots and anything else that
resembled food.
Conditions continued to worsen. After a unknown period of time, one of the three gave up the ghost with these
words, “I’ll see you guys,” and let go of the raft. He was
never seen again. Now the company was down to two
men, the Scotsman and the Englishman. They continued their float down the Nile. I have no idea of how long
it took, but they eventually ended up at the mouth of the
Nile in the city of Alexandria.
There they stowed away on a steamer. They did not
know where it was going but really did not care. By then
they figured that they had been classified as deserters
from the British Army. They were right and the ship was
bound for London.
After secretly disembarking the ship, Sylvester decided
to head back to the place of his birth, Old Deer Shire in
Aberdeen, Scotland. He traveled by bicycle and was some
fourteen miles from his destination when a friend approached him and warned him not to go any further
because the authorities were looking for him. He would
never see home again.
He returned to London, found his English friend, and
they worked their passage on a freighter, arriving at Ellis
Island in United States. The two of them eventually
ended up in the Chicago area.
Sylvester earned money by entering boxing and wrestling matches. The Englishman was his manager, I guess,
and earned money on making side bets on the matches.
Chicago was a rowdy town, and they made their rounds.
They made a lot of friends, and on some occasions, some
enemies.
He related to me a story about an altercation with a guy
who had a pegleg. This guy had beaten them at something and was rather arrogant about the whole affair. A
few nights later they went back to the bar where the guy
usually hung out. They kept paying the bartender to keep
giving him free drinks. This went on for quite sometime
until the guy finally went to sleep in his chair at the table
where he sat. At this point Grandpa and his friend
produced a saw and sawed off the pegleg just below
where it fastened to his stump. Then they woke him. He
let out a bellow, swore and said he would whip whoever
woke him up. At this point he did not know that he was
back to one leg but soon found out. He stood up and
immediately fell down sprawled on the floor.
The Scotsman and Englishman left immediately, as the
peg-legged man had some friends there too, and they
were not too happy. Grandpa did admit that he was not
too proud of that achievement, but thought at the time
that the guy truly deserved the punishment.
He told of heading for the Black Hills in the search of
gold. He said, “We almost starved to death out there,
found no gold, and ended up back in Chicago.”
He started being a coachman for rich people in Chicago. He continued his boxing and wrestling and had the
ring name of Scotty King. Billboards appeared throughout the city, “Scotty King vs So-And-So,” advertising the
matches in which he would be participating. He was
successful in his craft. I believe he even wrestled once in
Ironwood, Michigan, probably in the boom times of iron
mining during that era.
TO BE CONTINUED...

grandfather originally penned by Doug King in 2002.

and was able to fill many requests. He also provided
gifts for all the adults.
This program was supported by many in the community. St. Francis Catholic Church and their parishioners made donations of money and food.
Bethlehem Lutheran Church and the ladies society
gave donations of money as well as weekly donations
of food. The Lewiston Congregational Church of
Christ made a monetary donation, as well as giving
mittens, caps and socks. Lovells Community Chapel
gave a monetary donation.
We wish to thank the community businesses, merchants, organizations, the schools, the scouts, and
all individuals for their contributions. Overall support was very generous. Many donations from outside the community were received. Outstanding
support came from Glen’s Market. Our many volunteers did much to make this Christmas event possible. There were over 50 individuals working in some
capacity in this program. Enthusiastic and thankful
responses came from the many recipients in the
program. Hopefully, a happy Christmas was had by
all.
The Community Sharing Center will be closed
through the end of January. If there are emergencies,
please call 989-786-3745. The building will open in
February two different weeks from 10 am. to 3 p.m.
More information will be posted on the door of the
center.
On behalf of Community Sharing, I would like to
thank all volunteers and friends for your dedicated
support to Community Sharing this past year.
THESE PACKAGES of food were ready to be delivered for Christmas to help needy
families.
