Terry Nichols, district man ager, reported the county received $355,460.21 per agreement while the township received $30,421.56, or 10 cents per yard. Nichols and Steven Essling, Waste Management compliance manager based in Hastings, pointed out to commissioners Wednesday that the county loses tipping fees if trash leaves here. Nichols said the fee is based on every 40-yard container even when partially loaded, loose or compacted. Essling pointed out the county’s own solid waste plan has only Bay and Crawford counties for which waste can be exported to. Northern Oaks brings in trash from 17 counties.

Hunter and his wife Luveda Hunter were among Bond’s critics. Last year the board discussed citing owners of gravesites that had been neglected. Cox said there is a procedure to follow when addressing a gravesite that becomes unsightly or a nuisance. But in Summerfield, the supervisor only read the part where it was his authority to address the issue, she said. There seems to be confusion over grave markers in an old and new section. This too will be settled when Cox, Rhinehart and others mark off gravesites as maps indicate. Recommendations the advisory committee propose will be reviewed by the township board for final approval. Bond attempted to direct anger from residents toward the board as a whole. Everything that happened was the board’s responsibility but problems arose with a couple of missteps, he said. He did apologize for items that were taken that cannot be returned. Even though there may have been a handful of unsightly gravesites, residents demanded to know why items were taken off even gravesites that had been maintained.

Joslin said the three were to meet at the cemetery but by the time they got there Bond had a golf club poking away at gravesites pointing what to remove. “We had no meeting because everything had been done,” Joslin said. Bond said the whole thing was “b.s.” He said notices informing residents of new regulations were not sent out when they were supposed to be. Cox said notices should have been sent more than once but notices were not sent because damage was already done. With regard to other matters, the board: HEARD several residents of Anger Road complain about the condition of their road. Because it is classified as a private road, it is not included in the county system to maintain which is left up to the property owners. Bond said only five residents have properties there, including his, but unless they are willing to bring the road up to county standards, it is off limits to the county road commission. Deepak Gupta, engineer-manager, confirmed Wednesday that by law the road commission cannot expend resources on a private road. The five properties would have to be assessed to bring the road up to specifications and included in the county system. Residents may come before the road commission to discuss the issue. RECEIVED a statement read by the treasurer admonishing the board for not approving paying the bills at the May 26 board meeting. By doing so, the board violated a board function as required by law. Trustee David Tuttle apologized for holding up the bill payment because one bill in particular had not been listed.

In their years at the State Fair, Sills said a lot of people that sampled ostrich meat, were surprised that the meat tasted so much like beef, but had so little fat and cholesterol. “We had an excellent response and a very surprised public as to the taste and health benefits of ostrich,” he said. Sills said, “During this time the Federal government (United States Department of Agriculture – FSIS) would charge the plant an inspection fee at slaughter to receive the USDA stamp promoting consumer confidence. The fee was hourly averaging $36 per hour. With processing and additional inspection fees, the farm was paying 72 cents in fees for every pound of ostrich meat packaged.” He said they absorbed the costs. “The smoked ostrich was always a contested product by the United States Department of Agriculture” Sills said. “Having spent the 72 cents per pound in federal inspection fees, the farm felt within its legal rights to state that on the label. The USDA felt otherwise. Multiple efforts by the USDA to stop our production were met with legal protest. The fact that we continued, without fines, arrests or having the product pulled, proved this out.” Since their efforts to stop the production weren’t working, Sills said they changed tactics. “We were competitors against huge industries for products made from beef, pork, chicken and turkey,” he said, “We were competitors. They have more money and much more power – it’s big business killing little business.” “By 2001, the Federal position changed to incorporate ostrich processing as mandatory,” Sills said. “This removed the inspection fees, but forced a label change on the smoked ostrich product. The application was denied on the use of nitrites as a preservative.” He added, “They told me we couldn’t use nitrites in a 100 percent ostrich product.” Sills said nitrites are commonly used in other types of jerky, but to get approval for the label, they were told they would have to grind up “the product” and add three percent beef, pork, chicken or turkey and reform the product into flat meat sticks, producing what Sills called a perfect jerky product into a less desirable form to allow labeling. “This (change) would force the processing plant to purchase more equipment to manufacture and expand to handle the additional process steps,” Sills said. “The concept of a safer product was lost with all of the additional process steps…I pulled the product. It was a fantastic product, now it is gone.” After the loss of High Feather Farms’ top selling product, Sills entered a partnership to develop a processing plant near Rosebush.

Entry is free but registra- ostrich to “poultry guidelines,” he said. Processing became more difficult because the processing was for poultry and beef also and because of the organic feed used. After that attempt failed, Sills said he looked into building a small processing facility on the farm. The application was denied by Isabella County until a groundwater discharge general permit was obtained from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. “That would have required a full survey of the land, slopes, mandatory filings and several thousand dollars a year in permit fees, unsustainable for a family farm,” Sills said. “I have never heard of those requirements for a facility to process poultry.” “It was just one thing after another,” Sills said. “This is about how the government, while professing that they want to help, can regulate you right out of business, especially if you are doing something different.” These days Sills is simply farming again. He still has three or four of the big birds around the farm. “They are more like pets now,” he said. tion is required. Download a form at the Harrison Chamber website.

State parks offer a variety of lodging options including campsites, rustic cabins, yurts, teepees and modern lodges. Weekend occupancy for all types of lodging was projected at 92.7 percent for the holiday weekend as of June 30, compared to 88.6 percent at the same time in 2014. Camp nights remain available at several state parks in all regions of the state, while others have already filled up. Visit www. midnrreservations.com or call 1-800-44PARKS (1-800-447-2757) to check availability and make a reservation. “This year seems to be an extremely good year for camping,” said Jeremy what each of the many participating businesses “create” during the twohour event. Stops will include: *the White House for music by Stepanie Terpening and jewelry by Sarah Sysco; *Cops and Doughnuts for Cops Confectionary Creations; *the Clare Candy Company for Ice Cream Sunday Creations; *Brewin’ on McEwan for Mimosa Magic “Get Creative”; *Apple Tree Lane for Yarn Bombing; *Millie’s Downtown for their Grand Opening Reception; *Central Michigan Music for live music; *JT Bakers – We create Your Ideas; *Stitches for Britches; *Desired Skin Tattoos; and *The Doherty Hotel. After making all the stops and getting your passport stamped, return to the 515 Gallery & place your filled card into the drawing for the final ARTmazing Prize! Spell, unit manager at Aloha State Park on Mullett Lake in Cheboygan County. “We typically don’t book to capacity this fast for the holiday weekend.” In all, Michigan has 102 state parks. At Van Riper State Park in Marquette County, staff said lodging typically fills up on July 4 each year. The park, with its popular swimming beach on Lake Michigamme, is a favorite of campers over most holiday weekends. “Visitation has been up this year 4 percent,” said Doug Barry, unit supervisor at Van Riper State Park. “So, we’re expecting a good year, which is surprising given the weather. The start of this year has been cool and wet.” In addition to state parks, the DNR offers camping at state forest campgrounds. These sites are available on a firstcome, first-served basis. In Michigan, you’re never more than a half-hour away from a state park, state forest campground or state trail system. To find details on state parks and state forest campgrounds, visit www. michigan.gov/recsearch. A Recreation Passport grants vehicle access to any Michigan state park, boat launch, state forest campground or nonmotorized state trailhead parking. Residents can purchase the Passport for just $11 ($5 for motorcycles) at the time of Michigan license plate renewal through Secretary of State. Forgot to check “YES” during renewal? Residents and nonresidents can purchase a Recreation Passport window sticker during regular business hours at state parks.

Clare Ave. Clare • 386-6000 Page 6A- The Clare County Review - July 3, 2015 Mike’s Musings Michael Wilcox, Publisher/Editor Viewpoints Pat’s Bits & Pieces Pat Maurer, Review Correspondent Like it or not, same sex marriage is here to stay No doubt last week was what I call a “watershed week” for America. I can’t recall a time frame where so many important issues were decided. Probably the biggest is the Supreme Court’s ruling demanding that same sex marriages be allowed in all fifty states. That essentially means, no longer can individual states rule “yea or nay” on this topic. It was certainly a joyous occasion for the gay and lesbian community, as Gay Pride parades broke out in many of our major cities. Now I’ve professed my opposition to same sex marriage in previous columns, and although I am opposed to such, I don’t condemn others who support the concept. “to each his own” I would be the first to say. What I don’t like is all the hoopla associated with the ruling and the fact that many church leaders are concerned that they will lose their non-profit status if they refuse to marry a same sex couple. By hoopla I mean the “in your face” attitude of a few same sex marriage supporters. I have seen social media and even television commentators gloating about the Supreme Court win. Conservatives would be more accepting if proponents were less antagonistic. Conservative preachers (at least in the South) are concerned about marrying same sex couples. If they refuse they are afraid their church will lose non-profit status from the federal government. If they comply they will be compromising their religious principles. Heck even one probate court judge in Georgia has stated he will no longer conduct marriage ceremonies because he didn’t believe in same sex marriages. Again, I say “to each his own.” If you want to marry someone of the same sex by all means, go for it. But if you’re a preacher and conducting a same sex marriage ceremony is against your religious principals you shouldn’t be forced by government to do so. A second ruling by the Supreme Court to uphold Obamacare was no surprise. However, in my opinion, it is very flawed policy that has done very little to help one of America’s major problems- its health care system. My family, one of millions, has been damaged by Obamacare. I make too much money to get any kind of subsidy in the Health Marketplace. So my choice is to spend $1200 to $1500 a month on a policy that has higher deductibles than my insurance before Obamacare, or go out of the marketplace and buy crappy insurance and be penalized at the end of the year, because I didn’t buy from the Obamacare choices. I chose the latter. Before Obamacare my family had great health, vision and dental care for less than $500 a month. Now I have crappy health Letters The holiday is here care, no vision, no dental, no prescription, and face a rather stiff penalty when I file my taxes in 2016. My story is not much different from millions of middle-aged American families that aren’t getting subsidized. Granted its great insurance if the government is paying for most of it, but for families like mine, good health care is out of the question. Finally I need to comment on the Confederate flag. I have mixed feelings. My libertarian viewpoint would be “to each his own.” In other words “who gives a crap.” If a person wants to fly the Confederate flag, let him. If the South Carolina legislature wants to fly it, because it is a part of their heritage, and it symbolizes bravery, and it is a tribute to those who fought in the Civil War, then so be it. But the on the flipside, I think about those churchgoers that were murdered in Charleston. I think about the eight or so Black churches that have been burned to the ground since then. And in my mind, I gotta believe the Confederate flag is more a symbol of divisiveness than bravery. Maybe it’s time for the Confederate states to move on. After it’s only 155 years later, since that war was fought. Do you think the government could do better? To the editor: A typical question and conclusion that is put before the American public by political opponents to enhance their favorability rating is, are you satisfied with the direction the present administration is taking our country? Or, do you think they could do a better job? Of course, no one is completely satisfied with everything and everyone believes there is always room for improvement. Wealthy Democrats Cats have gone missing, please help get them home Dear Editor: To: whoever is killing or trapping cats in the area of Sixth and Pine Streets in Clare: Two of my beautiful long-haired black cats have disappeared within the month. My heart is broken. I have loved and nurtured there boys for about ten years. We buy them food and get them medical attention when we can’t afford it for ourselves. We work long hard hours, and when we get home, the love and laughter we get from these kitties makes life worthwhile. We know that cats ramble into other people’s yards too much. It’s really hard to keep them home. Some are better than others, and once cats have been outdoors, there is no way to keep them in. Unlike dogs, they actually have a legal right to roam, and you’ll find you have no legal right to kill them. We have other cats, so don’t drop any more off. That won’t mend our hearts. All of our cats were strays, rescued from starvation and horrible weather. Cats reproduce quickly, and as a result, suffer greatly. We love all of our cats so much, and feel privileged to share our lives with them. When our cats go Read all the news, columns, obituaries and sports online at clarecounty review.com Website updated weekly missing, we are literally sick, imagining them terrified, in pain, or lost from their home. It’s just the way you would feel if one of your children went missing. We don’t have human children, these cats are our family. We would never wish harm on your children, or the agony of losing them, as we are going through. So, if you are the one who trapped our guys, and have dropped them somewhere in the country, please phone us and let us know where you took them. They need their home and to be with us. These two are especially dear to us. Please phone us at the flower shop. 989386-4334 , or 386-4514. We’re sorry they came into your world, but we need them back in ours. Every living thing deserves love and respect. Sincerely, Jim and Sue Whitford, Suzanne James Flowers The and Republicans both contribute millions to political candidates and Pacs of their choice, but notice how the Koch brothers, who are worth 85 billion dollars are contributing about 450 million dollars to Republican candidates and Pacs and pay special attention to their agenda, which according to U.S.Senator Bernie Sanders (Vermont), is to: eliminate government funding for colleges and public schools (with the intent to privatize with the help of the ALEC Organization), abolish minimum wage requirements, environmental regulations, Laws holding people and Corporations accountable for damages due to neglect,unions and collective bargaining, unemployment compensation, safe workplace requirements, social security, and medicare, and pass laws that make it more difficult for legal American Citizens who have opposing views to vote. In other words, total corporate control of our Government. Their agenda does not serve the best interest of the majority of Americans. It is no way of, by, and for the people.

Does the Fourth of July seem like the middle of summer to you? I know the calendar says June 21 was the real beginning of the season, but by the time the Fourth rolls around, I always feel like summer is in full swing again. Everybody is having fun – going on vacations, trips to the lake, fishing, hiking, biking and walking everywhere. And this weekend there will be plenty to do around the county with Summerfest in Clare, Harrison’s annual Fourth of July celebration and the annual Figure 8 Derby and fireworks in Farwell. In fact there will be loads of fireworks displays this year with Harrison and Clare’s on the third – that’s tonight, and Farwell’s tomorrow on the 4th. And if you happen to be at the lake on the Fourth of July, I’m sure you will see some pretty neat displays there too. After all it’s summer. Gardens are growing like mad. At least mine is. My four little barrels out back are loaded with good things. We have already sampled the lettuce, the green onions are getting tall and the beans are blooming. Soon we will be able to harvest some more of our little crops and enjoy some fresh picked goodies with dinner. I even have some tomatoes planted in one and they are really getting big already too. Michigan strawberries are here again and to celebrate, I actually made a couple of double batches of freezer jam. It’s been quite a few years since I tried that and the first double batch I made, I sort of messed up on the recipe a bit, put in one and a half times as much sugar as I should have, but luckily I had more berries so I added to the concoction. Then I managed to mess up again and mixed the berries and sugar instead of the Shur-Gel and sugar. It all came out all right though and of course it tastes like heaven on toast. I did better on the second time around and now have enough strawberry jam to last all winter I think. Of course, Lisa confiscated a couple of containers, and I will be taking some north for the family up there, Micki and Don will want some and I gave some to grandson Jason and… Maybe I should make some more. I’m pretty sure it’s midsummer now. Hay is being cut all over the county and farmers have been raking and getting ready to bale it up. The temperatures are in the 70s and 80s nearly every day with mostly sunny days. Perfect summer weather I’d say. Although they don’t go swimming in the river much anymore, the granddaughters are over here at least three and sometimes four days a week. This year they are into bike riding and are allowed to even ride into town and up and down the rail trail on a pretty regular basis. Reunions are also being planned and happening now. In another week it will be time for the annual All-School reunion at Roscommon and we are planning to go again this year. There is even a small get-together planned at a classmate’s home on Higgins Lake in the afternoon and then some of the “class of 64” will be attending the festivities at the school and helping the “class of 65” celebrate their 50th. We had our 50th last year, and it was a blast! I think the best part is looking at albums, old pictures of when we were all kids and of course perusing those antique yearbooks one more time. It’s always fun to go back home again and it always amazes me to see the kids I grew up with enjoying their “senior” years. I honestly don’t know where the time has gone. And when we get together we always wonder why we haven’t kept in touch. Financial Focus By Don Chiodo Seniors: Helping prevent investment fraud Protecting your retirement nest egg and sustaining your retirement income are challenging enough. Taking precautions to help guard your investments from fraud is important. People who are older can be common targets for fraud and financial crimes. Scam artists and unscrupulous sales people target seniors, who are often seen as: Generally trusting Home alone during the day Accustomed to answering the door or the phone Reluctant to report fraud Confused by online ads and offers Scam artists are well aware of these common perceptions and often use these tactics: Phone calls Emails Personal sales pitches Pop-up ads on the Internet Here are a few guidelines to follow that may help protect you or a loved one from investment fraud. Proceed with Caution Don’t jump into an investment. Slick websites, smooth-talking solicitors, high pressure sales pitches, and extravagant promises can be misleading. Beware of Misleading Information There is some wisdom to the old adage, “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.” Offers of an investment with an above-average rate of return or income rate and little-to-no risk are almost always deceptive. Services described as a “limited-time offer” or any person who pressures you to make an immediate investment decision should also raise a red flag. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or to seek a second opinion. Few Things in Life Are Free For example, seminar invitations that come with an offer of a free meal may seem appealing. However, some of these seminars turn into high-pressure events where you may be given bad advice or be pressured to open an account that is not suitable for your financial situation. Skepticism Is Healthy Contact your law enforcement agency immediately if you suspect an individual or organization is employing fraudulent actions. Investment fraud can take many forms. There are Ponzi schemes, for example, where fraudsters advertise high rates of return on client investments. High payouts may continue until new investors are no longer available. Then the scheme and all the money disappear. What to Do Even if you don’t suspect the deal or the person is fraudulent, there are a few steps to take before investing your money. End the Conversation Practice saying “no”, or telling the person you always speak with someone else before making decisions. Have an exit strategy. Turn the Tables Ask questions. A legitimate investment professional – as well as his or her firm – must be properly licensed with a regulator depending on the type of business the individual (or firm) conducts. Talk to Someone Stepping away from the situation and asking for another opinion can help you see the true value of an offer. Talk with a Financial Advisor about the ways you can protect yourself or a loved one by monitoring your personal financial information and being selective in providing access to personal data.

Pleasant; Stanley R. Bishop, Jr., age 90 of Farwell formerly of Detroit, passed away Tuesday, June 30, 2015 at the Tendercare Nursing Home in Clare. Stanley was born the son of the late Stanley R. and Veronica (Rzepecki) Bishop on January 18, 1925 in Richmond. He was united in marriage to Mildred Petrulis on September 22, 1945. Stanley began working at a young age on his family’s farm in Richmond; he had worked at several Tool and Die shops, retiring from Triple Tool in Troy in 1994. Following his retirement he had moved to the White Birch Estate’s in Clare County where he enjoyed playing Euchre and meeting with other members over their weekly breakfast get-togethers. He enjoyed deer hunting, fishing and bowling and had attended Our Lady of Hope Parish St. Cecilia Site. Stanley is survived by his wife Mildred; children Richard (Lesley) of Spring Lake and Donna Krajewski of Farwell; a grandson David Krajewski; his brother Robert of Richmond; Freda Mae LaVoye After explaining it was not possible for us to show up on the hour, they gave us 24 hours to come in. On June 11th we (I still attended) came in and had Doctor Vanderbrook count our medications. He made a comment that he could no long trust his staff to handle the job of counting pills. On June 12th, Doctor Vanderbrook left MidMichigan Health Alliance. On June 22nd my mother received a phone call that Doctor Vanderbrook had quit and that any family member would be cut from their prescriptions AND any appoints we had prescribed to us by Doctor Vanderbrook- until the new doctor was in next month. Cut appointments included my mother›s water therapy for pain. If you are still wondering why people became upset at why Doctor Vanderbrook left, now you know. We were cut off of everything by his office staff until July. Anyone on medication was left to detox off of them and the MidMichigan staff didn›t care. Understandably I called their patient complaint line at 1-989-837-9090. The lady who picked up was horrified that his office had not temporar- ily set people up with prescriptions or a temporary doctor. She said it was unethical and that she would investigate into it. On June 23rd she called back apologizing and said a staff member was responsible for the issue. She then began working on setting us up with a doctor and trying to settle any other issues we had. On June 26th (date stamped as 06/24/2015 by the US postal service and two weeks after his departure), I received a letter saying Doctor Vanderbrook had left due to “unforeseen events” and that they had set me up with a new doctor. That’s the first and only official notice from MidMichigan Health I received. I have read about the e-mails from MidMichigan Health and it angers me that they have been very dishonest with news groups and patients. They ignored our complaints and when the time came, they were caught by surprise at how lazy his office they staffed had became. I firmly believe they messed up. Now, I’m not only upset that it costed the people of Clare County a fine doctor but am now also mistrustful of MidMichigan Health.

Breakdowns have and do occur, not often but things happen, its just part of the adventure. We’ve had a broken chain, a few busted shifting levers, one year we had a bike submerged in a mud hole to the gas tank, however, we got it out and running again. This year just 20 miles out Jason Ledbetter suffered a blown rear tire on his 1974 Husqvarna 250 after hitting a rock, fortunately we were able to get it fixed and back on the trail. Steve Lind was unable to complete the ride after his Yamaha went down with mechanical issues. Other than that we’ve had pretty good runs so far”, Laughlin said. Larry Decker of Dewitt, Mich., a veteran of the Marion vintage snowmobile races has been hooked on vintage bikes since the mid 1970’s when he rode his friends 125cc Penton around the family cottage in Harrison. When not wrenching or racing snowmobiles with his two sons in the winter, Decker is grabbing time on his dirt bike enjoying northern Michigan. “I’ve always liked vintage bikes, it’s a lot of fun to get out with friends and fellow enthusiasts, ride the trails and run these bikes like they were meant to be back when they were new”, Decker said.

The Clare County Review - July 3, 2015 - Page 9 Dogs in Honor developed to fill vets’ needs By Pat Maurer Correspondent In a recent article in the TC Record Eagle, Wattles was quoted as saying, “We Lori Shaw and Kim now have a chance to make Wattles know how much a a huge difference in the “service dog” can mean to lives of our veterans and a veteran returning to the also to help educate the United States after a tour public on what our dogs in a war-torn country.

Shaw’s service dog is a seven-year-old English Mastiff, he has raised since the dog, “Thor,” was four weeks old. “I heard about the program at the Saginaw Veteran’s Administration and also saw it in a “Wounded Warrior” segment on TV,” he said. “I made some phone calls. It took some time, but I met a veteran with a service dog and eventually called Lori. Now we are working on training Thor as a service dog.” Thor and Gordon have already earned their “Canine Good Citizen” certification through the American Kennel Club. Redman said he uses oxygen at night. “He (Thor) wakes me up if my oxygen stops working or if I stop breathing,” he said. “He lets me know when people are around and helps me with keeping my balance.” Redman and his wife Deb have two children and one grandchild. They live of Stephenson Lake Road. Shaw explained the Dogs in Honor process. She said once that initial obedience training is complete and the veteran and his dog pass the AKC CGC test, they begin “the actual service dog training together.” Lori said, “The service and emotional training takes from three months to a year, depending on the ability of the partnership between the vet and his new ‘buddy’.” Once the service training is complete, the veteran and dog enter the next step, a “probationary period” which includes periodic visits and evaluations of both over a year-long period. At the end of that time the dog “officially” belongs to the veteran and he is given the ownership of the service dog. “After that we are still available to the vet for help with any problems,” Shaw said. All of the training is done with the blessing of medical staff, Shaw said. “When we sign up the vets and work with them, it is with their VA doctor’s or therapist’s knowledge of the program and its progress. After the program is complete, they – the doctor of therapist – signs, or certifies that the vet’s dog is now a service dog.” Shaw has worked with dogs most of her life and has been a dog trainer for 15 years, she said. “I got involved because I love animals,” she said. She and her husband Tim, who is also a trainer, moved to Farwell 13 years ago. He is still a firefighter in Bay City, where they used to live. They have two grown children, one living in Lake and the other in the Detroit area, and three grandchildren. Shaw said she works from three to five hours with Dogs in Honor. “I still also train dogs for Therapy Dogs International and have raised puppies for Leader Dogs of Rochester for seven years,” she said. All of her time is “volunteered,” except for a part-time job as an Administrative Assistant at the Farwell United Methodist Church, where she works three hours a day for four days a week. Shaw said they are working towards developing a website, which should be up sometime this month. They can be found on Facebook by searching for Dogs in Honor. In his letter to the editor, Fall urged other vets to look into Dogs in Honor. He said, “If you suffer from PTSD and think, as I did that a service dog is out of your reach, please consider giving a call to Dogs in Honor.” To contact Dogs in Honor in this area call Lori at (989) 387-9435, or in northwestern Michigan call (248) 821-5201.

Incoming Clare junior Gabe Denton put in that work all year long. In 120 at bats this season Denton hit .468, had 11 doubles, five home runs and 37 RBI. This was good enough to earn division three all-state honors and is also the Clare County Review’s baseball player of the year. “Really, the season never stopped for me after last year,” he said. “I was named to the all regional team last year and I really wanted to be in that all-state spot. My dad and I went to the batting cage every single night and I had multiple coaches work with me all winter. I never stopped, I never got out of my groove.” The Pioneers went 2210 this season and made it all the way to the regional championship game before falling to Shepherd 2-0. Clare’s Gabe Denton, player of the year. “Gabe had a great season for us,” Clare head coach Skeet Colosky said. “Great power hitting catcher that has a great eye at the plate. Always a tough out. Means a lot to the success we have had as a team.” Denton still has two seasons left of high school ball and he is hoping that the best is yet to come. “I’m always hopeful to make it into the all-American running but right now I am going to work on keeping my spot on all-state,” he said. “That’s going to be a lot harder because there’s kids that are going to want it to. Not only that but the next two years we have a lot of talent coming in so it should be a lot of fun.” As for how he’s had the success he has despite being an underclassmen, Denton has really kept it simple. “Every time you go up to bat you need to have an approach,” he said. “My approach is if it’s the first time through seeing a guy it has to be a perfect pitch On your mark, get set, GO! for me to swing at early in the count. You always have to have an approach and know what you want to hit. You have to look for those pitches and try to get into the pitcher’s head and figure out what he is thinking. It helps being a catcher, you should know what a pitcher is thinking and that helps a lot.” Plus having a huge passion for the game doesn’t hurt his progress either. “I started playing when I was about five years old and started catching when I was seven and I have just loved it ever since,” Denton said. “I just fell in love with the game when I was young and I haven’t stopped since. “You can be in every single play as a catcher and a pitcher and I like that. I like to say it’s a smart man’s game. You can’t just go up there swinging a bat. It doesn’t matter if you’re super muscular or fast. That helps but you have to be smart and the fundamentals are super important.” Karolyn Smith Quality Jewelry Bridal Specialist Repairs “We Buy Gold” VOTED PEOPLE’S CHOICE # 1 JEWELER 13 YEARS IN A ROW CHECK US OUT ON THE WEB & FACEBOOK www.ssfjstore.com 1805 S.

The Clare County Review - July 3, 2015 - Page 9B Reflections King Solomon’s call for moral and spiritual integrity by citizens for the benefit of their nation may seem out of date, but his principle of practicing patriotism by doing right needs to be stressed and heeded: “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). The history of both the United States and Canada prove the importance of spiritual awakenings to turn the tide of moral and spiritual decay and usher in good times. Practicing Patriotism In 1727, twenty four year old Jonathan Edwards, a recent graduate of Yale was called to assist his grandfather, the pastor of the Congregational Church of Northampton, Massachusetts. Two years after his move to Northampton, his grandfather died and young Edwards became the pastor of one of the largest, wealthiest, and most cultured churches in New England. It isn’t likely this congregation expected their young pastor to be the key personality in what histo- rians call America’s first great awakening, but that is exactly what happened. Jonathan Edwards and others prayed earnestly for a great moral and spiritual change in their community and in 1735 their prayers were answered. Edwards wrote that scarcely a person in the town, old or young, was left unchanged. This awakening spread from town to town and from county to county. By 1740, the moral tone of New England was lifted and an estimated 50,000 people Wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th of July! - The Clare County Review Staff By Roger Campbell Ministries had been added to the churches. In his book, “The Narrative,” James A. Stewart made a significant observation about this great spiritual awakening, writing that it was not the outcome of a highly organized effort, but the answer to the prayers of a faithful pastor and his church. The next and perhaps the greatest spiritual awakening affecting the United States and Canada took place in 1858. There were three important ingredients in its development: The Dutch Reformed Church appointed Jeremiah Lanphier, a businessman, to do missionary work in Lower Manhattan; a physician, Dr. Walter Palmer and his wife, Phoebe, began holding evangelistic meetings Classifieds in Hamilton, Ontario, and a ship loaded with gold being brought to New York from California went down in a storm, causing the closing of many banks and a financial panic. Jeremiah Lanphier often became weary in his work among discouraged people, but found he could draw strength to go on through prayer. Thinking others might be helped through prayer during those difficult times he invited others to join him and soon thousands were meeting to pray. In his book, “The Fervent Prayer,” J. Edwin Orr wrote: “It is impossible not to connect the three events. From tiny springs of prayer in New York and preaching in Hamilton came a flood soon to envelop the world.” During these tough times, Solomon’s call should apply to us all. The way we live affects our country so why not choose right and reject wrong? It’s another way to practice patriotism. More importantly, it’s the right thing to do! Roger Campbell was an author, a broadcaster and columnist who was a pastor for 22 years.
