Whitaker finalist in
National American Miss
Michigan Pageant
Katie Irene Whitaker,
age 5, daughter of Stephanie Whitaker, has been
chosen as a State Finalist
in the National American
Miss Michigan Pageant to
be held July 2-4, 2015 at
the beautiful Adoba Hotel
in Dearborn, MI. The
National American Miss
pageants are held for girls
ages 4-18, and have five
different age divisions. Katie will be participating in the Miss Michigan
Princess age division,
along with other outstanding ladies across the great
state of Michigan. Katie is
from Farwell and is a kindergarten student at Clare
Primary school.
Katie enjoys riding
her bike, boating, fishing,
dancing, music, singing,
art, movies and animals.
She is very creative and
has a big heart, and always
puts others first.
The winner of the
Pageant will receive a
$1,000 cash award, the
official crown and banner,
a bouquet of roses and air
transportation to compete
in the Nation Pageant
in California where she
will receive an exciting
complimentary Tour of
Hollywood and two V.I.P.
tickets to Disneyland.
The Nation American
Miss Pageants are dedicated to celebrating America’s
future leaders and equipping them with life-long
skills. Each year the
pageant nationally awards
more than 1.5 million dollars in cash, scholarships
and other prizes, which
includes a New Ford Mustang Convertible!
The National American
Miss Pageants are unlike
any other. All activities
and competitions are kept
age appropriate. Girls
under the age of 12 are not
allowed to wear make-up,
and there is no swimsuit
competition.
The Pageant program is
based on inner-beauty, as
well as poise and presentation, and offers an “AllAmerican spirit of fun
for family and friends.”
Emphasis is put on the
importance of developing
self-confidence, learning
good sportsmanship, as
well as setting and achieving personal goals.
The Pageant recognizes
the accomplishments of
each girl while encouraging her to set goals for her
future.

500 hand-quilted quilts, wall
hangings, table runners,
quilt tops, rugs and small
cloth craft items. The unpieced quilts and wall hangings, small craft items, quilt
tops and rugs are featured on
Friday and pieced quilts and
wall hangings auctioned on
Saturday.
In addition, delicious
food, baked goods and
homemade ice cream will be
available. All food proceeds
will go to the local Amish
parochial school.
Founder John Henry
Yoder moved to the area in
1981 from Homes County,
Ohio, a part of one of the
first Amish settlements in
the area. In 1984 he started
the Amish Consignment
Auction and Flea Market
on his Herrick Road farm.
“There were between 35 and
45 booths that first year,”
said son Norm Yoder in an
earlier interview. That first
auction featured about four
horses and a dozen quilts.
From that simple start
the event started to grow by
leaps and bounds. The Clare
Retailers even got into the
act and convinced the Clare
Harrison, and Al Wildey,
Professor of Photography at
Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, and world
renowned photographic
artist. They will both share
in the rewards from this
community project and
were chosen to utilize their
design concepts, along
with some elements from
other artists to be part of
a complete design for the
mural on the south wall
of the American Cleaners
building. Plans are well underway
to develop a special “Art
Alley” behind the businesses on the west side of
McEwan between Fourth
and Fifth Street.
According to Pam
O’Laughlin, Manager of
the Clare Area Chamber of
Commerce, “The Art Alley
is the first piece of a whole
plan to enhance the alley as
a visitor’s destination and
will also tie it to several
other art and architectural
projects around Clare to
create “Art-Traction, a bikeable, walkable tour around
the city that will give both
visitors and community
members a greater arts and
culture footprint in Clare.”
O’Laughlin said, “There
have been many people
involved in this project, and
we expect to have many
more participate in both
the educational segment
and the actual painting/
construction/photography

busses from the city to the

few years ago it had grown
into a huge weekend event
featuring 400 to 500 vendors
and bringing thousands to
the community.
It was so big, two events
were held every year, on the
third weekend of May and
again on Labor Day weekend. Finally John Henry
split part of the event off to
the Yoder Brothers Auctioneers, LeRoy and Willis
Yoder.
They now hold the massive 300 plus horse auction
at the Isabella County Fairgrounds. The horse auction,
featuring all Standard bred
animals is held three times
during the year. Check with
the Clare Chamber for dates
and times (989-386-2442).
The equipment auction
is now held twice a year on
Colonville road at the Alvin
Yoder farm. The dates and
times will be announced.
Over 500 pieces of farm machinery and equipment and
much more are auctioned at
the event.
At the original homestead, John Henry and
family still have the quilts,

and it is still held on Friday
and Saturday of the third
weekend in May and again

Those attending Clare’s
first Quilt Festival next
weekend will have even
more to see and do in the
City.
On Saturday, May 16,
the winners of the “Art

south side of the American

featured. At a Public Reception, the winning design
concepts will be on display
from 2 to 4 p.m. at the 515

“This mural project,

Celebrate
CCAC to display, raffle quilts downtown
The first ever annual
Quilt Festival, sponsored
by the Clare County Arts
Council, will be held in
Clare next weekend to
coincide with Yoder’s 31st
annual Amish Quilt Auction
& Flea Market just east of
the city.
The event will take place
on May 15th & 16th at “The
Venue 501” on the corner of
McEwan and Fourth Streets
(the former Mill End building). More than 50 quilts
will be on display.
There will be activities
especially for youngsters
attending. At a special
craft table, kids can make
their own quilt block and
someone will read a children’s quilt story to them.
Patchwork cookies will be
available at nearby Cops
and Doughnuts and the Herrick House’s Mulberry Café
will feature “Quilted Lunch
Specials.”
The new festival is the
brain child of CCAC Vice
President Vicky Gunden.
She said, “We’re always
looking for ways to bring
people into Clare County.”
She continued, “When I
presented it to the CCAC
board they were behind it
100 percent. The knowledge
that some of the ladies have
about quilts and quilt shows
have made the idea become
a reality.”
“We are getting quilt entries from all over the state,”
Gunden continued. There
will be People’s Choice
awards for first, second and
third place in each of two
categories: Vintage (made
before 1950); and Current
(made after 1951).
The CCAC will also be
raffling off a queen size
quilt, a wall hanging and a
table runner with winners to
be drawn on Saturday, the
16th. Tickets are available
from CCAC members.
For those who would like
to see some of the “Clare
County Quilt Trail,” there
will be rides provided by
the Clare County Transit on
both Friday & Saturday.

hours. Each “route” will

The Venue will be open
on Friday from 10 a.m. to 6

person or $5 for a family.

Bits & Pieces
Pat Maurer, Review Correspondent
My perspective on transgenderism has changed
I was all set to write a
disparaging column on
transgenders, when I listened to the Diane Sawyer
interview of Bruce Jenner
last night. As many have
said, it was one of the most
powerful interviews ever
conducted, and you know
what, it changed my perspective on transgenders.
No, I’m not going to
champion their cause. I
have a hard time grasping the fact that several
thousand of us- actually
700,000 in the United
States, claim to be transgender. Many more have
what is called gender dysphobia- males with severe
female tendencies and vice
versa, don’t take the drugs
or have the surgery to
change their sex.
Christine Jorgenson was
the first to bring transgenderism to the forefront.
Actually her name was
George, a U.S. soldier.
She had sex reassignment
surgery way back in 1951,
two years after Jenner was
born. In 1977 Renee Richards made a huge name
for herself- having the sex
change surgery and winning the right to play on
the women’s professional
tennis tour.
But Bruce Jenner, a
boyhood hero of mine and
many others; winner of the
decathlon gold medal in
the 1976 Olympics; named
athlete of the decade; and
now he is a transgender.
When I first heard about his
transformation, I felt nothing but disgust.
I was nearly positive that
he was doing it for publicity. I could picture a spin-off
to the amazingly successful Kardashian empire. A
Bruce Jenner reality show,
detailing his transgender
steps- I figured it would be
on network television this
coming season.
But, I believe I’m
wrong. I believe Bruce
Jenner is sincere about all
this publicity. He has taken
mountains of criticism and
ridicule and still comes
back talking about transgenderism every chance he
gets.
He told Diane Sawyer,
“Maybe this is why God
put me on Earth…..to deal
with this issue.”
When she asked what
he thought about President Obama being the
first American president
to mention transgenders,
he shocked her with his
response.
“I will give him credit,”
said Jenner, “but I’ve never
been a big fan of his.”
She enquired, “Are you
a Republican?” Jenner answered with an incredulous
look, “ yes what’s wrong
with that. Is that a bad
thing.”He went on to say
he believed in conservative
principals and wouldn’t
mind pressing the issue of
transgenderism with Republican Senate Majority
I’m so old I remember a
time before computers
Leader Mitch McConnell.
Jenner took a lot of abuse
from the ladies’ in his life
on the Kardashians. Chris
Jenner and her daughters
were always ganging up on
Bruce. If you ever watched
an episode you knew he
was a good-natured dude,
if not a bit quirky. But you
also knew he was kind and
compassionate.
Jenner says he is not
a spokesperson for the
transgender community. He
simply is trying to figure
himself out. But by going
public with his story- by accepting all the criticism and
ridicule and letting it roll
off his back, makes him the
perfect spokesperson.
I say good for you, Bruce
Jenner. You were very courageous as a decathlete, and
now you are that same as a
transgender. I don’t know a
transgender- never met one.
Statistics say only eight
percent of the public has a
transgender acquaintance.
I know my perspective
has forever changed. I know
I am a little more tolerant of
their situation. I know and
would encourage others to
let others live the way they
want to live. Who are we to
judge?
Letters
Writer says ... Prop 1 failure a success,
Dear Editor:
Well, no thanks to many
in media, no surprise there
of course, Prop 1 here in
Michigan failed. This
was yet another attempt
at suckering the tax payer
into another increase in
our taxes that are already
so high we are seeing the
effects everywhere, and
with a so called Republican
governor behind it.
It was actually rather
odd seeing so many folks
in Michigan come together
and vote no on this. It was
not that long ago President
Obama pushed this very
thing, wanting to raise
taxes to support shovel
ready jobs improving roads
and bridges. I recall seeing
many folks in Michigan on
Facebook commenting on
the news feed of various
local news stations about
how great this infrastructure push was, and how
badly we needed these
fixed roads and bridges
across the country. They
were willing to eat a tax
hike for it while Obama
was pushing it. They
called Republicans, and
people like me, a Tea Party
guy, nothing but “haters”
and against the poor. How
dare I and others oppose
such a great thing for the
Country’s economy and
those poor people who
need work. The reason these people
were so happy to support
the push by Obama is quite
simple. He has a “D” next
to his name, while Governor Snyder has an “R”
next to his. I examined
the various state news
pages on Facebook, seeing
what the feeling of Prop
1 was amongst the people
here. When I seen most
all folks screaming no, I
thought back immediately
to the Obama shovel ready
infrastructure push.
There lies the problem
with this country, which is
the sports game of politics,
where two teams battle it
out with adoring fans on
both sides, and a few that
are in the middle. Unfortunately, many in the
middle, and some on both
sides are oblivious to what
is going on, so they are
lobbied with numerous
misleading ads, and lured
in with the many blogs and
phony news sites on the
internet spreading propa-
ganda. All of the “mainstream” media with the
exception of Fox News has
been batting for the Democrats. Allow me to inform
you, I am not a Republican,
but I call it how I see it. I
am more of a Libertarian,
what Republicans were at
one time actually, and have
since turned on the wrong
path. This as you can imagine, usually has me stuck
voting for the lesser of two
evils, which I will admit is
the Republicans. I am not
ashamed of my position,
or voting record. But as
I have seen here in Michigan, with Prop 1, many
people who stand with
Democrats will stand with
anything Democrats say,
and against anything a
Republican is for, rather on
principle, common sense,
and a little critical thinking. I must also go off topic
and say, a recent letter to
the editor penned by a Mr.
Tony Walker caught my at-
tention. The false information he was supporting is
a prime example of how
people buy into political
propaganda while waiving
a foam finger with a party
letter on it. Last week,
I was going to write a
snappy retort to the article,
but got busy and forgot
unfortunately. It was on
the “Banksters of Wall
Street” and it made me
furious reading it. How
can people be so mislead
with so much information
so readily available? Not
a single statement made in
his rant was true. Not a fan
of George Bush, nor his
father, but I sure won’t sit
idle and let you spread misleading statements. And
for your information,
Elizabeth Warren is a
socialist, and so is the left’s
darling, who claims to be
independent Bernie Sanders, who at least admits he
is, although many in media
refuse to tell you that.
Eric Isaac, Clare
Kids today are growing
up, never knowing what it
was like before computers, smart phones and the
world-wide web.
I have a picture of
granddaughter Alea at 14
months old sitting in front
of her Mom’s machine
using the mouse. Now she
is sixteen and it’s all about
that “smart phone” she
carries everywhere.
Granddaughters Alea
and Alison, both teenagers
now, know exactly how to
find their favorite things
on the web. They know
how to get to the sites
they are allowed to visit –
every time.
I have been using
computers now (for work)
for more than 25 years. I
still can’t always open up
my emails. Researching
something on the web can
be an hours-long project
although I usually manage
to find what I need – eventually.
I’m happy if I don’t
have problems emailing
my articles and pictures to
the office and if I get the
emails people send me. In
fact today I had to look in
my “bulk” mail to find one
from Pam at the Chamber.
I thought she forgot to
send it to me…
Guess that really shows
my age. It is like learning
a second language. The
younger you start, the
easier it is to learn.
At my age, I never
know if I will be able to
Now where do we go for
entertainment in the great
city of Harrison? Maybe we
can stand by the old township
hall and watch them build
the new one, or sit on the city
dock and watch the boats go
by. Sounds exciting.
There is a new flea market
north of town on N. Clare
ave. right across from the
Airport Restaurant Called

Financial Focus
By Don Chiodo
The Building Blocks of
an Investment Portfolio
Opening a savings account with your local bank
may provide an easy way
to put money away for
safekeeping, but the thought
of doing more can be tempting. While your money will
earn a small rate of interest
with a savings account, you
may want to consider an
“investing” program that
can potentially earn more
from the money you put
away.
In the very simplest
terms, a share of stock represents a portion of ownership in a company. While it
may seem hard to imagine
that you could actually own
even a small part of some
of the largest companies
in business today, that is
exactly what owning stock
is all about.
When you purchase
stock in a company, you
literally become a partial
All things change but I don’t have to like it
Dear Editor:
It’s gone. Just like the
Surrey House, the Lumber
camps, and good manners.
The Parkside flea market
on the corner of Townline
Lake Rd, and Business 127
has closed for good. It was
started in 1982 and had
become a drawing attraction
to bargain hunters all over
the state. There were even
visitors from other states and
countries. Every weekend
the lot was filled to capacity,
with shoppers leaving with
that special treasure or instrument they were looking for.
Some came just to visit with
Friends and share a special
time of hunting for that
unique bargain. But due to
the dwindling crowds and the
advancing age of the owners,
it was decided to finally close
down. The flea market site,
house and camp grounds are
for sale to some eager visionary. Somehow the newer
generation doesn’t have the
enthusiasm we use to have
for bargain hunting. There are
a multiplicity of Yard sales
around town, ranging from
ratty cast offs to genuine
treasures, but that takes a
lot of jumping in and out of
your car as you buzz around
from one to another, hoping
you get to the prize you seek
before someone else does.
find what I need, or if the
computer will suddenly
decide I am much too old
to be using it.
Mine has its own personality, you know. And
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t
like me very much. I use
the darn thing every single
day and about 50 percent
of the time it tells me that I
have messed something up
– again! Jack has the same
complaints and when we
are really stumped, we call
Lisa, or one of the grandkids to come and sort out
the problems for us. They
are a bit younger, so it is
easier for them…
Even with all of my
complaining, I have to
admit that at the newspaper
office, much labor has been
saved with computers, a
process that developed for
the Review in the late 80s
when Mike first owned the
paper. With them we can
edit, correct and change
the articles, format them
and design the pages right
on the screen, send it all
electronically to the printer
and then even put out an
electronic version for our
modern readers.
Used to be articles had
to be written on the typewriter, edited, corrected
and retyped into a program,
formatted and printed,
pasted on a paper page –
similar to putting together a
jigsaw puzzle – and finally
driven down to the printer
where they had another
elaborate process to go
ance, or special feel, that
attracted the crowds to the
Parkside Flea market. Maybe
someday it will. But for now
to me, it’s just not the same.
I looked from my car but
didn’t have the inclination
or desire to get out and look
more closely at the offerings.
A wise man once said “All
things Change, we have to be
ready to change with them”.
This may be true, but I don’t
have to like it.

owner of that company.
Your degree of ownership
is calculated on a percentage basis, depending on the
amount of stock you hold
compared to the total number of shares the company
has issued.
Stock ownership entitles
you to a “share” in the
profits of the company –
hence the term shareholder.
Some companies pay their
shareholders a portion of the
profits in the form of what’s
known as a dividend.
As a stockowner, you
also have a right to inspect
the company books, and can
do so when you review the
company’s annual reports.
These reports provide extensive details about company
operations, allowing you
to gain a better understanding of how the business is
doing.
While there are many
advantages to owning stock
in a company, you should
always keep in mind there
are also risks of investing
your money this way. There
is always the possibility
that the value of your stock
could go down and you
could lose some — or even
all — of the money you
invested.
As a novice investor,
another option you should
consider is investing in
bonds. Simply put, a bond
represents a loan. The issuer of the bond receives
the money you invest and
agrees to repay you at a certain date. In addition, as an
incentive to get you to make
the loan in the first place,
the issuer agrees to pay
interest on your investment
on a periodic basis
When discussing bonds,
you may hear different
terms associated with the
price of the bond. Par
value, also known as face
value, refers to the dollar
amount on which a bond’s
interest rate is calculated. It
also represents the amount
that will be paid to bondholders at maturity — the
date originally set out for
the repayment of the bond.

her life of

her five beautiful grandchildren. As a single parent
Beth worked many jobs

recently as a home-health

Lucky to have wonderful
business people here
Dear Editor,
As spring is here, and
many of us are thinking of outdoor projects, I
would like to share with
you and your readers my
experience with a local
contractor. I am speaking
of Bouchey Excavating,
operated by Liz and Jack
Bouchey.
I wished to have an area
away from the house to
provide parking for my RV
and various trailers (actually my wife wanted it). I
contacted Jack Bouchey,
and a plan and cost were
arrived between us. The
work began promptly,
despite the persistent rain.
The work was completed
in a timely fashion.
I inspected the completed job and found that
the finish layer of stone
was incorrect. I spoke
with the contractor and
found that by no one’s
fault, the product used as
the final top layer was not
what I expected. Jack had
to return and put down a
layer of stone. The job was
now complete, albeit at a
greater cost than expected
due to the double layer of
aggregate. I must stress that
the miscommunication on
the aggregate was without
blame. Was I surprised
and humbled a few days
after paying the bill when I
received a nice letter from
Liz, and (a little drum-roll
here) a check for half of the
amount of the extra cost,
(not a small amount). My
wife and I were so pleased.
Having come from Detroit, I was well acquainted
with businesses and contractors who took advantage of their clients. This
honorable and generous act
by Jack and Liz has made
me realize how fortunate
we all are in the Clare area
to have so many wonderful
people in business.
Guess who we will
be using again for work
around our home? You bet,
Bouchey Excavating!
Sincerely,
Brian M. Kozlowski

invited to come and see how
serving her country is an honor for Judith, an army nurse
whose Vietnam veteran father
taught her the importance of
sacrifice. After a tour in Iraq,
she returns home and combats
severe post-traumatic stress in
the form of nightmares. She
and her father share a loving
bond strengthened by military camaraderie. Envious of
their relationship, her brothers
shockingly rebuff her ... a snub
that intensifies when their father dies suddenly. Faced
with the task of healing her
family and mind, she relies
on her faith to fight the battle.
When a secret is revealed, the
brothers must find a way to
humble themselves and make
amends. SWISS STEAK DINNER

The Mid Michigan
Community College
Foundation raised nearly
$100,000 at its 14th annual fundraiser, A Northern
Tradition at Jay’s Sporting
Goods. A Northern Tradition is
the Foundation’s biggest
fundraiser. In fourteen
years, it has raised over
$1.3 Million.
The event, which was
held at Jay’s Sporting
Goods in Clare, raises
money for the Mid Michigan Community College
Foundation. The proceeds
from this event allow the
Foundation to support the
College’s services to the
community through scholarships, program development, improved facilities,
and programs for at-risk
youth. The Foundation’s most
prominent program, Students of Promise, prepares
local 7th through 12th graders for college. About 800 attendees
enjoyed an evening of
exclusive shopping and
exceptional food provided
by local food vendors. The
event also featured this
year’s artist, Katrina CaseSoper, an MMCC graduate
and professional artist.
Every ticket holder
received a $25 gift certificate, which was donated
by Jay’s Sporting Goods,
and an exclusive print by
Case-Soper. Tickets were
also entered into a raffle
for a $1,000 gift certificate
to Jay’s Sporting Goods,
which was won by Gus
Hendrickson from St.
Charles.
“The community really
stepped forward to sup-
port the college again this
year,” said Matt Miller,
MMCC Foundation Director. “Jay’s Sporting Goods
can’t be thanked enough –
this event wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for their
generosity. We’re also
indebted to the individual
and corporate sponsors,
those who provided the
food and beverages, the
ticket salespeople, the
many volunteers, and those
who purchased a ticket.” A large portion of the
nearly $100,000 raised
came from 92 sponsorships
by local businesses and
community members.
“We’re very pleased
with the community’s
enthusiastic support for the
College’s Foundation and
its goals,” said Miller. “We
strive to provide a valuable
service to the community
and we truly appreciate
their support of those efforts.”

Walmart’s Clare plans “on go”
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Walmart has been
planning to build a new
158,000 square foot super
center on the north side
of Clare for nearly a year
now.
The new Walmart will
include a gas station,
pharmacy, garden center
and a tire and lube express.
The new Walmart complex
will be located on 18 acres
east of Old U.S. 27 (Clare
Avenue) and just on the
west side of the new Consumer’s Energy Service
Center, which is now under
construction on Colonville
Road in the new Clare
North Industrial Park.
Last September City
Manager Ken Hibl said
they were planning to
begin construction this year
and open early in 2016.
Those plans have
changed, Hibl said
Wednesday. “Our last
meeting with Walmart’s engineer and architect was at
the end of March, when we
reviewed a preliminary site
and landscaping plan.”
“That’s all we know
at this time,” Hibl said.
The current schedule is to
begin construction in 2016
and open in 2017 – unless
the plans change again. It
could be earlier or it could
be later than that.”
Walmart, who had announced they would submit
site plans last fall and
hold a town meeting on
their proposed project, has
remained quiet all winter.
They have a purchasing
agreement for 18 acres of
the former Bicknell prop-
erty on Colonville Road,
according to a September
interview with property
owner Ron Kunse of the
Clare Northern Group.
Right next door to the
proposed Walmart site,
the City is developing a
60-acre industrial park on
Colonville Road. Road
improvements are partially completed, water
and sewer lines are in and
Construction on the park
and a new city water tower
began last fall.
The new $7.5 million
Consumers Energy Service
Center is also being constructed in the new Clare
North Industrial Park, with
part of the structure already
built.
Information from Spencer H. Deinard, Walmart’s
Agricultural firm, in March
indicated that a site plan for
their new complex should
be submitted around June1.
Deinard has contacted
the city with questions of
procedure to submit plans.
In an interview last
August, Bill Wertz, Media
Communications Director,
said the store will employ
about 300 “associates,”
most full time. “More than
half will be full time,” he
said.
The City faced some
public opposition to the
addition of a Walmart in
Clare, but shared with the
community in September
that, according to City
Attorney Jaynie Hoerauf,
“So long as the site plans
submitted comply with
City zoning codes and the
building plans comply with
the State Building Code,
the City must approve

applications for permits
needed to build the ‘big
box’ store.”
Micki Maurer of Farwell
said, “I was really hoping the whole “Walmart
is coming to Clare” thing
was a hoax. Is it a store,
or a distribution center?
Obviously, I haven’t kept
up with the story, but either
way, I’m not excited. I
like our town the way it is,
unsullied by big box stores.
The Walmart in Mt. Pleasant is plenty close for me.”
Area resident Sherry
Landon said, “I shop locally, literally. I am not a
fan of Walmart coming to
Clare. Not because it is
Walmart, but because eventually we will see a Home
Depot and more corporate
stores. This will change
the way our community
functions. Another reason
is because I do not trust
that Walmart will deliver
what they say for our community. I remember when
Walmart first entered the
market promoting ‘Made in
the USA’ That soon ended
for ‘Lower Prices’ and
today almost everything
in the store is not from the
USA, they did not even
keep their original roots.
How can you trust that
they will keep the 300 jobs
they promise after they
open, [and] how many will
be transfers from other
stores. I am sure there will
be benefits and losses, but
most importantly it will
take away our hometown
flavor.”
Area resident Jeremy
Mcgraw disagreed. He
said, “It will be great!! On
many different avenues!”
In September Patricia Snyder said she was
happy to see that Walmart
plans a store in Clare. “As
a resident of Clare for
most of my 60 years, [I]
just want to express my
opinion about the possibility of a Walmart. I haven’t
seen much change in this
city. We still don’t have
anything for our teens to
do; we don’t have jobs
for them other than fast
food. This city has always
catered to the few that have
businesses on main street
and kept the city focus on
growing their own businesses and keeping the
poor in their own section
of the town. This extremely
white retirement community needs a Walmart for
so many reasons! What we
have been doing for the
growth of our city is NOT
working.”
Applications are available online or at existing
Walmart stores. In August
Wertz said he didn’t know
what the local pay scale
will be, but added that the
average wage in Michigan
is $12.93 per hour and
that benefits are available
to both full and part-time
employees.

Little League teams
swing into action
By Steve Landon
The crack of a bat, a
sizzling fast ball launched
from the arm of a
young pitcher, a cloud of
dust as a base runner slides
into home plate, amazing
catches, roaring fans and
the smell of fresh hotdogs
can only mean one thing
- Little League baseball
season has begun in Mid
Michigan.
This past Saturday and
Sunday area teams gathered under sunny skies to
ick off the 2015 season
with little league parades,
opening ceremonies and
the all important ceremonial first pitch. From Tee
Ball, Softball to Baseball
area youth were giving fans
a first class show as they
kicked off what is expected
to be another fantastic
season.
If you’re looking for
some exciting baseball or
softball action in the coming weeks, head out to your
local diamonds and support
area youth. Who knows
you might be watching
a future Detroit Tiger in
action.

Haring, Harmon lead Eagles to victory
Golf Tips
By Thom Slusher
Clare County’s PGA Pro
By Ben Murphy
Sports Writer
Eliminate the
holy roller
We’ve all done it. You catch that chip shot a
little too thin and the ball
goes shooting across
the green and then all of
a sudden the ball stops on
a dime after clunking the
flag stick. It’s the holy
roller and we don’t want
to depend on the flag stick
to stop our shots close! Here’s how to eliminate
this shot:
- set-up with an open
stance, weight on your forward foot, and hands
pressed slightly forwardtake a swing that matches the length of the
shot ie. short swing for a
short shot - keep the left
wrist (for right handers)
and the right wrist bent
until the ball is on the
way - keep the shaft leaning backwards away from
the target - never think
scoop, lift, or pick
Follow these directives
and you won’t have to pray
for a miracle.
Farwell grabbed a pair
of non-league wins at
Coleman Friday night, as
the Eagles baseball team
won by scores of 14-9 and
13-2.
The Eagles fell behind 5-0 in game one but
a strong pitching relief
appearance by Brendan
Haring helped the Eagles
get back in the game and
used a four run fifth and a
seven run seventh to pull
off the win.
Haring finished by
pitching seven innings
and gave up four runs, one
earned on four hits, three
strikeouts and two walks
Damion Harmon had
four hits and four RBI
to lead the offense, Jake
Riffe had three hits and
two RBI, Austin Maxey
had two doubles and two
RBI, with Jordan Renner,
Kyle Danielson and Jordan
Green adding two hits
each. Collin Maxey added
a double.
Farwell did not need a
comeback in the nightcap,
instead it scored two runs
in the first and six in the
second to take control right
away.
Collin Maxey got the
win on the mound, tossing the first three innings,
giving up two runs on two
hits and one walk. Riffe
pitched in two innings of
relief for the save and did
not give up a hit and struck
out four.
Renner and Harmon had
two hits and one RBI each,
with Harmon getting a
single and a double. Austin
Maxey and Riffe both
tripled and Haring had a
single.
On Thursday, April 30
Farwell hosted Houghton
Lake for a pair of Jack
Pine Conference games,
winning 10-0 and 7-6.
Austin Maxey was the
winner in game one, giving
up just one hit while striking out nine and walking
one.
Renner led the offense
with two hits, one triple
and one double and Dan-
ielson had a single and two
RBI.
The Eagles had to score
two runs in the top of the
seventh to pull off a win
in game two, with Riffe
getting the win in three
innings of relief. He gave
up one earned run on four
hits and struck out four.
Danielson started the game
tossing four innings and
striking out six batters.
Noah Wilson, Renner,
Austin Maxey, Danielson
had the only Farwell hits in
the contest.
Farwell hosted Roscommon on Thursday, hosts
Mt. Pleasant Sacred Heart
tonight (Friday) and is at

Lady Pioneers notch win, 2-1
By Ben Murphy
Sports Writer
After getting sent away
with a loss in each of
its previous outings this
season, the Clare girls’
soccer team got one in the
win column Tuesday night,
topping Big Rapids Crossroads 2-1.
The Northern Michigan
Soccer League game was
tied at 0-0 at the half but
early second half goals by
Megan Garver and Brooke
Beatty put the Lady Pionners ahead.
Crossroads would score
to make it 2-1 with about
20 minutes to play.
“We scored our two

goals pretty quickly in the
second half and then they
followed up our second
goal with one of their own
and continued to apply
a lot of pressure,” Clare
head coach Jim Bond said.
“With a 2-1 lead the final
15 minutes seemed to take
forever. Saleen Picard
played in goal for us and
played an amazing game.”
Clare hosts Roscommon tonight (Friday) and
will host McBain Northern
Michigan Christian on
Tuesday.

Lady Pioneers win 1, lose 1
By Ben Murphy
Clare had an offensive
outburst in the first game
but couldn’t keep it going
in the second, as the Clare
softball team split with
visiting Beaverton Tuesday
night. The Lady Pioneers
won the first Jack Pine
Conference contest 11-2
but lost the second 6-5.
Bailey Carbeno was the
winning pitcher, tossing
seven innings and giving
up two runs on 12 hits, one
strikeout and one walk.
Alex Rowell had a
double and a single, Jillian
Pappas had a double and a
single and Molly Merillat
had two singles.
A sweep looked possible
in game two as Makenzie
Thayer bombed a long
home run to put Clare up
5-4 in the sixth inning,
though Beaverton scored
twice in the bottom half to
take the lead and the win.
Rowell added two hits
and two RBI in the game to
go with Thayer’s home run.
Carbeno suffered the
loss in a relief appearance,
giving up two earned runs
on eight hits.
On Thursday, April
30 Clare swept visiting
Roscommon in two more
JPC games, winning both
contests by the score of
15-0.
Carbeno was the winner
in both games, with Emily
Baer also seeing time pitching.
Merillat and Carbeno
hit one home run each with
Maisie Beckner and Rowell
also getting several hits.
“Defensively, Thayer and
Beckner had great plays on
the infield and Cami Miller
had two solid games behind
the plate,” head coach Jeff
Albert said.
Clare (10-6 overall, 3-3
JPC) hosted Houghton Lake
on Thursday and travels to
Harrison on Tuesday.
