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

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

Springfield, Oregon.
“A lady answered the
phone and I said, ‘This is
Michael Becker of Clare.
Did you ever hear of Max
Garwood Fisher?’ She
said, ‘Yes, that was my
baby boy.’”
Since then the plans
have been made for Mike,
daughter Cheylene and
friend Earline to fly out
and meet the family he
never knew he had.
He not only has a
mother, but five siblings,
who are waiting to meet
him. “My daughter made
all of the arrangements
and is taking time from
her job to go with me,”
he said. One of his “new”
sisters, Brea, is making
arrangements for their
four-day visit there.
“Three of my siblings
live there in Springfield,
one lives in Washington
and one in Florida.” Mike

Harrison raises 18.5K for youngster seeking trained dog
helped,” Rood said at her
Hayes Township office
where she is township
treasurer.
“No one person can do
it all,” she says modestly.
“It does take a village.
Many volunteers donated
their time. It takes a lot
of hands to pull off fund
raisers.”
There have been
raffles and dances and
other events in addition to
straight forward donations.
Rood is aware of the
expenses the family faces
such as travel expenses to
medical appointments and
to pick up the DAD when
the time comes.
Name of their Facebook page is “Anton’s
Fight Against Diabetes.”
They also have a page
on the free fundraising
platform called You Caring that has raised $1,985
By Rosemary Horvath
Correspondent
While the Hamilton
Township Williams
family looks forward to
adopting an alert dog
for their 8 year-old son
diagnosed with Type 1
diabetes, it appears the
community has adopted
the Williams family.
The family’s Facebook
page has kept well-wishers abreast of their son
Anton’s daily battle and
the wait for a trained dog
from Heads Up Hounds,
the Louisville, Nebraska
organization that trains
rescue dogs to function as
diabetic alert dogs.
For two years, local
events have raised money
toward the purchase of a
DAD for which parents
Tara and Chris Williams
applied a $1,500 deposit
just to get added to a waiting list.
They pay $6,000 on
the day they pick up the
dog which is estimated
to be sometime between
December 2015 and April
2016.
The Harrison Moose
learned of the family’s
plight and asked Maye
Rood, who is known for
her organizational skills
to head up a campaign.
And she did.
To date the total is
$18,500 and counting.
“Service organizations in Clare County and
outside the county have

so far.
DADs are trained to
alert diabetic owners in
advance of low or high
blood sugar and trained
to react to a chemical
change. Type 1 diabetes
once known as juvenile
diabetes is occurs when
the immune system attacks the pancreas and the
body fails to produce insulin. Children and young
adults are affected.
Along with the DAD
comes a door bell mat the
dog is trained to trigger
that sets off a siren to alert
a family during the night.
“They are trained like
seeing eye dogs,” Rood
said. “The dog can accompany Anton in public
places.”
Rood had been successful previously heading up
fund raisers to replace a
canine unit for the Clare
County Sheriff’s Department. Her son Luke Tessner is a dog handler and
trainer. He and Deputy
Larry Kahsin are the department’s K-9 team.
Rood beams describing
the generosity the community has shown. She
first set a goal of $15,000
after reviewing expenses
both now and in the future, including the 10-day
training session Anton has
to go through.
“Everyone has done an
amazing job,” she said.
As one donor said, “we
have to stick together. I
couldn’t be prouder of the
Harrison community.”

Infrastructure for the
new Clare North Industrial

May 18 meeting.
The City approved another payment to Dunigan
Brothers at the meeting for
$297,472, bringing their
total to $2,151,566.38 of
the original $2,281,821.80
budget. Sewer and Water
construction are both more
than 90 percent complete
with general infrastructure
lagging a little behind that.
“They are ahead of

road construction should
begin again within the
next couple of weeks,
weather permitting. Parts
of Colonville Road will be
replaced and an overlay on
the nearly one mile stretch
will finish that part of the
work.
Work on the new Consumer’s Energy Service
building is also progressing well.
The City also got some
good news with the information that they are eligible to apply for another
Michigan Council for the
Advancement of Culture
and Arts grant for the Clare
Depot renovation. Kingsbury said, “We didn’t believe we would be eligible
to apply for the next round
of funding as the current
grant is still open. We were
informed this week we are
eligible and can apply.
The Commission gave
their approval to make the
application for a $75,000
grant. Another grant application is also planned.

“Dish Network is using

Company. Dish Network is
attempting to use their vast

They continued, “Although Heritage Broadcasting is a mere fraction
of the size of Dish Network, Heritage Broadcasting will not be bullied by
a large corporation such as

Heritage said, “We

For many people Memorial Weekend signals
the start of summer, is a
time to fire up the grille
and get away for a relaxing
four day weekend, sadly
this is not an option for
American men and women
who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Thanks to those who
served before and since the
birth of this great nation
239 years ago we are able
to enjoy the freedoms we
have today. On Memorial Day 2015 members
of the Farwell VFW Post
5738 joined area veterans
and fellow Americans to
pay tribute to those fallen
heroes and honor those
veterans still with us.
A brief parade led by the

Mike was a Clare Police
Officer for just over 20
years, and Clare Police
Chief for ten – from 1976
to 1986. He has lived in
the same place on Herrick
Road since 1966 with his
wife of 45 years, Sheila,
who died in 2011, a victim
of cancer.
Mike and Sheila adopted
a daughter themselves.
“My daughter Cheylene
just located her own birth
mother,” he said. He said
Cheylene’s mother is from
Beaverton and she found
she has a sister and a
brother. “I say we are ‘second generation’ adopted,”
he said with a smile.
Mike’s daughter is a
Vice President of JD Norman Industry in Troy. She
is married to Robert Varto
and now Mike has two
grandchildren Kira 12, and
Cole 6.
Mike retired from the
Clare Police Department
in ’86 when he developed
Multiple Sclerosis. Now
confined to a wheelchair,
he has multiple health issues – MS, Diabetes, heart
disease and “post-polio.”

He had polio when he was
six and the disease returned
recently, limiting the use of
his left arm.
Despite all that, Mike
is optimistic about life and
doesn’t let anything get
him down. “You only get
done in when you give up,”
he said. “You have to keep
on keeping on.” He added,
“ I always say be good.
If you can’t be good, be
better.”
He has been keeping on.
“I have to keep busy and get
out and see people,” he said.
For more than 20 years after

Wells, Wildey chosen to design Art Alley mural
By Pat Maurer
Correspondent
Julie Wells of Harrison (pictured here) and Al Wildey of Mt. Pleasant (not pictured) were
the winners of the mural design for the east side of the American Cleaners building in
the Art Alley project.
ing Lesley Smoltz and
Shelby Mercer, also contributed to the final design
making it the culmination
of a variety of ideas.
The final design will now
go to the Clare Downtown
Development Authority for
their final approval on June
5th and the next step is a
Public Education session on
Saturday, June 13 at 11 a.m.
at the 515 Gallery to explain the process for putting
the design on the wall. This
session is free and open
to the public, but those
planning to attend should
call 989-386-2442 to preregister with the Clare Area
Chamber of Commerce or
email them at manager@
claremichigan.com to
ensure there are enough
materials for everyone.
Construction and painting the new mural project
is scheduled to begin in
mid-June.
According to an earlier interview with Pam
O’Laughlin, Manager of
the Clare Area Chamber of
Commerce, “The Art Alley
is the first piece of a whole
plan to enhance the alley as
a visitor’s destination and
will also tie it to several
other art and architectural
projects around Clare to
create “Art-Traction, a
bike-able, walkable tour
around the city that will
give both visitors and community members a greater
arts and culture footprint in
Clare.”
The mural project is
funded in part through a
grant from the Michigan
Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs.
This new mural is the
second beautification
project for the alley. A
beautiful mosaic design
already adorns the back of
the 515 Gallery, inspired
and completed by Mrs. Kim
Kleinhardt’s art students at
the Clare High School just
a couple of years ago.
Volunteer and materials
are needed for the mural
project, O’Laughlin said.
“Whether you have a full
can or a partial can of latex
paint, any color, we will be
happy to accept your donation. These can be dropped
off at the Backdoor of The
Venue during Revive Business Hours only. Please
alert Lauren that you are
dropping off paint.”
She said ceramic,
glassware and jewels are
also needed for the mosaic
portion of the design. They
can be dropped off at the
n
backdoor of the 515 Gallery.
Exterior concrete
finishers and construction
experts will be needed to
prepare the building surface
to accept the design and
monetary donations are
also being accepted and
can be made to the Clare
Area Chamber of Commerce with a designation to
“Art Alley.”
O’Laughlin continued,
“The Art Alley represents
an opportunity to showcase the talent of the many
individuals in our community who contribute to
this project. We thank them
for their support of this
cultural endeavor. She
added that Kim Kleinhardt
of the 515 Gallery has been
instrumental in making this
project happen.

Another step in the
process of making Clare a
truly unique destination is
underway.
May 16 two winning artists were announced for the
design of the new Art Alley
mural on the east side of
the Clare American Cleaners building, a community
project to enhance the assets in the alley behind the
businesses on the west side
of McEwan and create an
inspiring path for both the
community and visitors.
Designs were submitted
by April 28th and on April
30th a special Design Committee met to review the entries and determine the final
design winner. Two designs
were selected and they were
“rolled into one.”
The winners are Julie
Wells of Harrison, an artist, teacher and historian
whose design incorporates
the significance of the
railroad in the development
of the area; and Al Wildey
Professor of Photography at
Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, and world
renowned photographic
artist, whose design is an
advanced photographic
technique that blends photo
elements of the people from
this area.

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

‘right on the money’
Dear Mike
Saw your article Friday.
Right on the money. Someone in congress who is 90
years old and been there
for forty years is ludicrous.
The mere act of being in
congress (or the senate)
has the effect of isolating
people from the public.
University studies had
come to this conclusion
back in the 20’s and 30’s.
No politician at any level

ing disconnected from the
public. At the national level
that is even more important. A good example is the
late John Conyers. He was
basically a decent man, but
so disconnected that he was
no longer relevant to the
public. Three terms in congress and two in the senate
is more than enough. The

Michigan would work just
fine at the federal level. Terry Acton

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

Lord on Sunday, May 17,
2015. NoReena was born
May 5, 1946 in Midland,
Michigan, the daughter of
Clarence Joseph and Viola
(Wirt) Hintz. On May 6,
1967 at the United Methodist Church of Beaverton,
NoReena was united in
marriage to Pastor George
C. Eagle Sr.
Mrs. Eagle had resided
in Clare since 1976, coming from Mt. Pleasant.
Neena worked for over
twenty years at Chemical
Bank, including Clare West
Branch. She then spent
seventeen years employed
with Stanley Fuel Gas and
Oil of Clare. NoReena was
a member of the Harrison
United Brethren Church.
Neena enjoyed spending
time with her grandchildren, and was known to
spoil them occasionally.
She enjoyed doing financial preparations, studying
her Bible, reading, listening to music, especially
any and all Elvis Presley
songs. She rarely missed
an episode of Little House
on the Prairie, The Waltons
or Andy Griffith. NoReena
found relaxation in flower
gardening, rock gardening
and photography.
Surviving Mrs. Eagle is
her loving husband of forty
eight years, Pastor George
C. Eagle Sr. of Clare, two
sons: George Eagle Jr. and
wife Connie of Lansing,
Michigan and Chad Eagle
and wife Angie of Mt.
Pleasant, fourteen grandchildren: Kayla Eagle, Breana Eagle, Shelby Eagle,
Emerald Eagle, Chad Eagle

UW Executive Director to retire
Sandi Hages, United
Way Director for Clare
and Gladwin Counties,
will retire on June 9. Sandi has been the Executive Director of the Clare
United Way and Volunteer
Center for more than 20
years, and has been the
Executive Director of the
combined United Way organization for the last three
years. When asked what
she liked most about her
position, she responded
that «at the end of the day
it comes down to helping
our neighbors in the two
counties we serve.» Sandi
also commented that she
will miss the agencies with
which she›s worked for
the past 20 years and the
relationships she›s formed
with the folks who work at
Richard
F. “Dickie”
Haynak Jr.,
age 53, of
Clare, passed
away on Sunday, May 24,
at MidMichigan Medical
Center in
Midland. He
was born
the son of
Richard and
Jean (Wood)
Haynak on
July 23,
1961, in Clare. Dickie
graduated from Clare
High School in 1979. He had worked in the
past for Mitchell Corp
in Clare and Renosol in
Farwell, and recently for
Jack Kleinhardt Farms. He lived his life in Clare
and was an avid NASCAR fan. He loved his
cat, Corky.
Dickie is survived by
his parents, Richard and
Jean Haynak of Farwell,
his brother Stephen
(Kim) Haynak of Clare,
sisters, Kim (Bob “Boot”)
Mashue of Clare, and
Kelly (Larry) Edwards
of Lake, Nieces and
nephews, Mitch Bailey,
Taylor, Lace, and Shay
Stalter, Scotty, Kari, and
Lindsey Lynch, and special grand-nephew, Brady
Bailey. He was preceded
in death by his nephew
Casey Haynak.
A memorial mass is
being planned to be held
on Thursday, June 4,
2015 at 11:00 AM at the
those agencies as well as
the United Way volunteers.
Although Sandi is
leaving the organization in
good standing, she expects
that additional efforts will
need to be made by the
new Executive Director
in the area of fund raising. She predicts that additional events will have to
be planned in conjunction
with the annual campaign.
Sandi›s plans include
moving to Florida to
live near her sister and
family. She will most
likely be looking for a
job and volunteering at
nonprofit organizations as
much as time allows.
A Retirement Open
House is planned for Sandi
at the United Way office
in Clare on Thursday, June
11 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Agency staff and former
board members are invited
to attend.

new Executive Director can

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

Lady Eagles move
on with 5-2 win

over Meridian.

So far so good for the
Farwell softball team. The
Eagle (29-8) held off a
young Meridian team in
Tuesday’s division three
pre-district game at Clare
to win 5-2.
Farwell started things
off right with back-to-back
solo home runs by Brittany
Cogswell and Kate Saupe
to take a 2-0 lead and
Saupe’s strong pitching in
the circle held the Mustangs’ offense at bay most
of the night.
Saupe finished by giving
up two runs, giving up six
hits on 10 strikeouts and
one walk.
After Meridian made
it 2-1 in the fourth Saupe
added an RI single in the
top of the fifth to make it

Preparing
for the open
Chambers Bay hosts
this years US Open and
an interesting fact about
the course is that it has
one tree. Instead of
trees the contestants will
have to weave their way
through a labyrinth of
sand bunkers. We need to
take different approaches
as to how we play out
of greenside bunkers vs.
fairway bunkers. Following are the techniques for
each.
For a greenside bunker
shot you want to use an
explosion shot. Setup
with an open stance, grip
down on the club and
open the face, and drag
both feet into the sand a
little. You want to take a
big enough swing to hit
the sand under the ball
onto the green. The ball
will fly on top of the sand
like a surfer on a wave. Common mistakes I see
being made with this
shot are: not enough
swing to get the ball out,
not opening the face
enough, and not taking
enough sand. A fairway
bunker usually allows
you to take a full swing
and advance your ball
a fair distance. The setup
for the fairway bunker is
similar to a normal full
swing stance. After your
normal setup, grip down
some on the grip, play
the ball a little toward
your forward foot, and
secure your footing. The technique for this
shot is similar to the
normal full swing but try
to keep your legs very
quiet. It is important
to hit the ball first before
the sand for this shot. Common mistakes for
the fairway bunker are
hitting the sand first
which greatly reduces
distance and choosing a
club with too little loft
to clear the lip of the
hazard. Remember you
are not allowed to ground
your club behind the ball
when in the sand. This
is a two shot penalty in
stroke play or loss of hole
in match play. Prepare like you are
playing in the Open
and improve your sand
game. Playing from the
sand takes a few setup
adjustments and a little
practice. Add a touch
of confidence and you
will soon be hitting some
great bunker shots.
The Clare girls’ soccer
team had its season come
to an end Tuesday night,
as the Lady Pioneers fell
on the road to Pinconning,
6-0 in a division three predistrict game.
“We just didn’t play
well,” head coach Jim
Bond said. “Coming off
Memorial Day weekend,
we didn’t get to have a full
team practice Monday and
we had a couple games to
end the week last week so
we didn’t get to practice to
prepare for them.”
The Lady Spartans
jumped to a 5-0 lead by the
half and netted one more
goal in the second half to
finish off the 6-0 final.
“We just played poorly
and very slow in the first
half,” Bond said. “Not to
take anything away from
them, they played pretty
well. That’s just the way it
goes though and that will
end our season.”
On Thursday Clare
played at Houghton Lake,
falling 3-1.
“They just played a bit
better than us and deserved
to win,” Bond said.
Aloria Benson netted
Clare’s only goal in the
game.
Clare finishes the season
with two wins on the
seaosn.
“I think next year will be
a better year,” Bond said.
“Our JV had five wins and
two ties in 11 games. They
had a pretty good season
and all their other games
were pretty competitive.
Some of the girls will be
playing in the Midland recreation league this fall so
that should help us too.”

Baker one of 22 in state to win
Breaking Traditions award
Heather Baker, a
Culinary Arts student at
the Clare-Gladwin Career
Center, is one of 22 high
school students from
across the state to receive the 2015 Michigan
Department of Education
(MDE) Breaking Traditions Award for surpassing obstacles and stereotypes to achieve success
in Career and Technical
Education (CTE) programs.
According to State Superintendent Mike Flanagan, “The Breaking Traditions Awards recognize
high school and college
students who have demonstrated success in CTE
programs that are nontraditional to their gender. At
a time when there is a call
from various stakeholders for building a moreresponsive, market-driven
schools-to-jobs pipeline,
it is important to recognize the efforts of these
students and the programs
that helped them.”
Baker, also a senior at
Gladwin High School,
was nominated for the
recognition by Culinary
Arts Instructor Heidi Rocha. “Heather consistently
goes above and beyond in
everything that she does.
Her ability to enter the
workforce is outstanding.”
Baker accepted the
award at a ceremony at
the Library of Michigan
in Lansing this month.
“These outstanding
students are preparing
themselves to enter a
career that will benefit
them individually and
benefit Michigan by
increasing diversity in

our state’s workforce.”
Flanagan said. “By their
determination and dedication to pursuing careers
in an area nontraditional
for their gender, they are
role models for peers who
may be considering such a
career path.”
Baker plans to attend
Northwood University to
earn a degree in business while continuing
her apprenticeship with
Chef Fred Garcia of the
Lost Arrow Resort. Once
she obtains a business
degree, Baker would like
to further her skills at a
culinary arts college, such
as the Culinary Institute
of America, and eventually own a restaurant.
Culinary Arts is a
career and technical
education (CTE) program
offered to high school
juniors and seniors at the
Clare-Gladwin Career
Center. The students
spend half of their day at
their CTE program and
the other half at their local
high school.
Sines wins Tech award
Clare-Gladwin Career
Center student Alexis
Sines has been awarded
the Technical Education
Award from Mid Michigan Community College
(MMCC) valued at $500.
Sines participated in both
the Education in Training
and Graphic Arts career
and technical education
(CTE) programs during
her junior and senior years
at Clare High School. She
was also an active member in The Officials, the
Graphic Arts program’s
student leadership group
whose mission is to offer
their time and talents to
the local communities,
such as providing free design and printing work for
local non-profit organizations.
Sines plans to attend
Mid Michigan Community College to earn an
associate’s degree and go
on to earn a bachelor’s
degree in education. She’d
like to teach art in a public

Chiodo gets own
radio talk show
The voice of Central
Michigan University sports
is now the voice of a new
sports talk
radio show
based out of
Mt. Pleasant.
This
past week
the Michigan Sports
Today
radio show
debuted
on WFYC,
1280 AM in
mid-Michigan.
The show
runs from 6-9 a.m. each
Monday through Friday
and is hosted by Don Chiodo and Brock Gutierrez,
who also announce CMU
football during the fall.
Chiodo is also the voice
for CMU men’s basketball

News anchor Kim

The show itself will
focus mostly on Michigan
sports, with in-depth analysis of the Tiger, Lions, Red
Wings and Pistons. There
will also be plenty of college coverage of Michigan, MSU and
CMU sports.
In short this
new show will
offer up plenty
for sports fans
in mid-Michigan.
“It’s all
Michiganbased and
about Michigan’s teams,”
said Chiodo,
who’s worked
in the sports
broadcasting
field for decades. “I have
always wanted to do this
and I’m excited about
it. There are so many
national shows out there,
but nobody does anything
local anymore so that’s
where we’re coming
from.”
The show will also offer fans the opportunity to
call in and be a part of the
conversation by calling
1-231-331-8678. You can
also join in via social media on Twitter by tweeting @misportstoday or

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