Beating the Heat:
Area firefighters learn techniques for propane fires
About 30 area firefighters
attended propane fire training on July 2 at the Hillman
Fire Department. They
learned how to safely bring
propane fires under control
and were given the opportunity to practice what they
learned.
The training was conducted by the Michigan Propane Gas Association. After
some class time, the
firefighters suited up to
practice extinguishing a
flaming gas grill, propane
cylinder and gas pig in a
neighboring parking lot.
Attack lines followed the
lead firefighter responsible
for reaching into the flames
of an engulfed gas pig to
open the cap and turn off
the gas. Bobtail truck training also took place as well as
a demonstration of how water can be used to cool propane inside a tank.

session at Hillman Fire Department.
THE LEAD FIREFIGHTER in the attack line opens the cap of a flaming gas pig so he can turn off the gas. The propane
fire training through the Michigan Propane Gas Association took place on July 2.

Local government representatives
consider Turtle Lake Club taxation issue
by Yvonne Swager
Stakeholders battling Turtle Lake
Club over property values met on June
30 in Alpena. There are now plans to
invite area legislators to the next meeting.
Club representatives fought established property values in 2003 and
won. Since that time, values have
gradually increased and the club is
once again fighting values recently
set. The matter is currently before the
state tax tribunal for review.
According to Ken Lobert, Ossineke
Township supervisor, the club would
like the state equalized value set at
about $250 per acre for 640 acres. If the
club is successful in the appeal, Alpena County would lose $34,000 in tax
revenue.
More than half of that loss would go
to the school district, but Joelyn
McCallum, treasurer for Alpena
County, said the school district lacks
interest in fighting the club because
any revenue lost to the district will be
subsidized by the state.
“Why would schools want to fight it
when the state makes up the difference?” McCallum asked at the recent
meeting.
A quote from a professional appraiser
willing to assist stakeholders was estimated at $7,500 for appraisals and inspections and $250 per hour for testifying to the tribunal. Tony Suszek, Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District, said the Alpena
district is not looking ahead to secure
funding when less and less revenue is
being made available all the time.
“They don’t really want to throw in
any money, and they’re the biggest
part of it,” Suszek said.
The property value issue with the
club has been ongoing for about 25
years. Kenneth Troyer, Oscoda Township Supervisor, said the tax tribunal
hasn’t required the club to release data
regarding income from the club property including gas royalties. Suszek
said the property is clearly under assessed.

Dobbyn embezzlement
case on hold waiting
for new prosecutor
by Yvonne Swager
The embezzlement case against Kimberly Dobbyn,
former magistrate of 88th District Court in Atlanta,
has been adjourned pending appointment of a special
prosecutor. At a motion hearing on July 1, the defense,
prosecution and judge agreed that Terrie Case, prosecutor for Montmorency County, will not continue to
work the case.
Dobbyn faces charges of embezzlement of more than
$100,000. Case said she filed petition in January for
appointment of a special prosecutor because she had
been an employee of the court during the time of the
alleged embezzlement and had considered herself a
friend of Dobbyn.
In May, Case said she received a motion from the Of“This creates
fice of Attorney General appointing the prosecutor for
a dilemma that
Cheboygan County to the
needs to be
case.
resolved.”
“It did indicate I was to have
no further involvement in
- Judge William
this matter,” Case said.
Two days after she received
Fagerman
the motion, she said the appointed prosecutor declined
to accept the appointment. To
date, she said no other prosecutor had been appointed.
Michael Cronkright, defense attorney, said it was
possible Case would be called as a witness in the case.
“If she’s going to be a witness, she can’t prosecute it
as well,” he said.
Cronkright said he questioned whether Case could
proceed any further prosecuting the case, including
hearing the motions scheduled for the day. Judge
William Fagerman, assigned to the case by the state
court administrator’s office, agreed.
According to Fagerman, the motions before the court
addressed change of venue and procedures for jury
selection. The judge said it was crucial to have counsel
hear the motions who will also be participating in
trying the case, and the likelihood Case would be
called as a witness was problematic.
“This creates a dilemma that needs to be resolved,”
Fagerman said.
The motions for the day were adjourned. The judge
urged Case to remain in contact with the attorney
general’s office and said he would be contacting the
state court administrator’s office. He said he planned
to schedule a status conference in a couple of weeks.
“I would encourage counsel to do such research as is
necessary to pose to the court an alternative,”
Fagerman said.
Beach Party and free Sneaky Pete
concert is this Saturday in Lewiston
Twin Lakes Property Owners Association, in Lewiston, is hosting its first
annual Twin Lakes Beach Party! The
Sneaky Peat concert is free and the
public is welcome to attend.
Sneaky Peat will be performing the
evening of Saturday, July 11,outside,
at the Twin Lakes Beach Park in
Lewiston. Sneaky Peat is a Northern
Michigan music legend and a favorite
among locals. His eclectic mix of music never fails to entertain his audiences.
In addition to the music, there will be
some simple and fun activities like
hula hoop and limbo contests before
the concert and during intermission.
Dancing will also be encouraged during the concert. This is a perfect event
for the entire family, young and old
alike. This unique concert, under the
stars, can be enjoyed on land or by
boat.
The community support for the concert has been terrific. The Township
has given Twin Lake Property Owners
permission to use the entire beach park
for the event. And several businesses
are supporting the event with a variety
of contributions.
“We are very excited to bring Sneaky
Peat to everyone in the community,”
said Gregory Bator, president of the
Twin Lakes Property Owners’ Association. “Sneaky Peat is a northern Michigan musical treasure. His small band
performs a wide range of crowd pleasing music that will bring a smile to your
face. Our lake association is pleased to
welcome everyone in Lewiston and the
surrounding communities for this free
beach concert. Well, the only charge is
to bring your smile and good cheer to
enjoy a lovely summer night.”
Seating is on a first come first serve
basis and everyone is encouraged to
bring a chair or blanket. Although no
food will be available for purchase, concert goers are welcome to bring a picnic. The park will be open at 5 p.m. and
the concert will begin at 7:11 p.m.

Editorial:
Norman Rockwell moments
I spent Saturday running from one Independence
Day event to another, taking pictures. I got to Atlanta
just in time to catch the parade and ended up standing
next to Deputy William Pylkas, who was manning the
barricades in the center of town. He is a recent transplant to our area, and it was fun to see him experience
our small town parade for the first time. He enjoyed
the floats and cars and music and was amazed that a
small community could put together such a great
celebration. As I was heading off to my next destination, he yelled back at me that it all seemed like
something from a Norman Rockwell painting.
Norman Rockwell spent much of his career depicting simple images of small town life, perhaps with the
knowledge that much of his subject matter would
eventually fade into obscurity. The moments he captured have become timeless for many because they
remind us of a “simpler way of life.”
But these moments are not gone. They are still
preserved here, in the small towns that still make an
effort to continue the events and traditions that make
rural life the way it was meant to be. Seeing our way of
life through the eyes of a newcomer helps us remember that what we have is very special, even if it does not
have the glamour of city life or the manicured perfection of the suburbs.
Below is a list of other community events scheduled
this summer. Mark your calendar and try to have a few
Norman Rockwell moments of your own before the
snow flies.

Local representatives
consider Turtle Lake
Club taxation issue
Continued from Turtle Lake Club on page 1.
“Gas royalties, alone, are huge out there,” Suszek
said. “The assessment is worth way more than they’re
asking even if you left out all the revenue he’s talking
about. They’re under assessed, not over assessed.”
Because a number of club acres are located in Rust
Township in Montmorency County, Lobert said he
expected a representative from Rust or the Montmorency equalization department to be present at the
meeting. However, no representatives from Montmorency attended. The stakeholders are now in the
process of scheduling a meeting with area legislators.
Thunder Bay Clinic
to receive $715,000
in stimulus funds
Thunder Bay Community Health Services was
among the 23 community
health centers in the state
to receive recent grant
monies from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The health
service will receive
$715,360 through the
Capital Investment Program, which provides
grants to support construction, renovations,
equipment purchases and
the acquisition of health
information technology
systems.
“The majority of the
money is for equipment,”
said Michelle Styma, director of the TBCHS. “We
are going to be replacing
traditional x-ray equipment with digital equipment to be compatible
with
our
electronic
healthcare information
system.”
Other grant monies will
go to purchase new EKG
machines, generators at
each clinic site, and electronic signs for education
and outreach at all four
clinic sites. TBCHS operates clinics in Hillman,
Atlanta, Onaway and
Rogers City.
Earlier this year the
health service received a
$237,688 grant, also from
the federal stimulus package. These funds will be
used to give local residents better access to
counseling services.
Styma said this is probably the last of the stimulus money that the clinic
will receive. There is one
other healthcare grant
available, however it is tailored for much larger institutions.
BILL ENGLEHART shows how the Hog Holder he designed helps keep beverages of varying sizes in place. He and
his wife, Sherry, maintain riders no longer have to take their eyes off the road in order to reach for a drink.
by Yvonne Swager
If you love a long putt on your
motorcycle but hate fumbling for
your beverage, Bill and Sherry
Englehart, Atlanta, have designed a way to put your drink
right in front of you. The Hog
Holder mounts behind the windshield, keeps beverages handy
and also serves as an organizer.
The idea was born when the two
were dating and living 400 miles
apart. Bill Englehart made a
holder out of aluminum to ease
his long road trips, he said, but
the design wasn’t perfect.
“It left marks on the bike, but it
was just for me at the time,” he
said.
Once he started using it, though,
he said requests from other
people began to come in. He redesigned some units from plastic,
and has sold hundreds of them in
the past year. The units fit many
Harley Davidson motorcycles
and metric bikes of similar style.
“It turned out to be something
pretty practical. We use it for everything,” Englehart said. “You
don’t have to take your eyes off
the road.”
He’s attached clips to one unit
so items like sunglasses can be
held securely in place. The Hog
Holder also provides a platform
for speaker and amplifier kits
Englehart sells, he said, and helps
shade console gauges.
Dealers have expressed interest
in carrying the product,
Englehart said, and the couple
has been personally promoting
the product by traveling to shows.
“In four months, we put on
20,000 miles crisscrossing the
country,” he said.
In some cases, others promote
the product for them. Englehart
said one was sold to an individual
in Nevada who later returned
home to Virginia. Upon his re-
turn to Virginia, a buddy of his
called and asked for one to be
shipped out right away,
Englehart said.
“Word of mouth is probably the
biggest advertisement we have
right
now,”
said
Sherry
Englehart.
In addition to attending Michigan rallies, the Engleharts plan
to travel to Maryland in August,
Texas in September and Nevada
in October. Living on the road
may seem exciting, but Sherry
said it’s a lot like work.
“Traveling is fun, but it is business. After business, we can’t wait
to get in the truck and come back
home,” she said.
Both indicated manufacturing
of the product takes place in
Michigan whenever possible.

Woman treated after ATV
accident near Hillman
At 11:18 a.m. on Sunday morning, a 911 call was
received at the Montmorency County Sheriff’s Office
reporting an ATV accident on Brush Creek Trail in
Hillman Township. Hillman and Tri-Township Fire
and EMS crews as well as Sheriff’s ORV patrol officers
responded to find a 20 year old woman who had been
involved in a one vehicle ATV accident. She was
transported to Alpena Regional Medical Center where
she was treated and released.
Also on Sunday, EMS crews transported a man who
had gotten a fish hook in his eye while on Fletcher’s
Flooding.

Pet of the Week
Sammy’s tennis ball
Hello everyone! My name is Sammy and I’m a cattle
dog. I hate just hanging out in my kennel with nothing
to do so the people here
give me jobs like chasing after the big tennis
ball they throw out into
the yard. I always bring
it back to them but for
some reason they keep
throwing it out there. If
they want the ball why
do they keep trying to
get rid of it by throwing
it away? Sometimes I
just don’t understand
people but it’s ok because it gives me a job to
do and keeps me busy
for awhile.
I’m a young boy, just
over a year, smart and willing to learn. I’m very active,
so if you are looking for a dog that just wants to relax
the day away, I’m not the dog for you. But if you are
active yourself and love to keep busy, I’m the dog for
you.
I can hike with you all day. I would be a great agility
dog. Teach me a job and I will do it and do it fast. I’m
also the big joker around here — the one always
making people laugh. Heck, I don’t have to do anything special — just give them my special look and
they are smiling.
It sure would be nice to have a home of my own and
with a little guidance you could teach me to be the
smartest dog in town. They say I have a great personality. I haven’t met a person I didn’t like and I’m a very
happy boy no matter what life gives me.
If you would like to come meet me, I will be waiting
at the shelter or you can even give them a call if you
like at 989-785-3738. Oh, I’m already neutered so I can
leave anytime you are ready for me. Pauline wanted
me to tell you that the shelter has grant funding to
help people get their pets spayed and neutered, just
give them a call. Thanks, Sammy the Cattle Dog.
A Glimpse of Montmorency County’s Past:
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR local farmers are working hard to bring in their hay crop. Today’s modern haying equipment is a far cry from the situation at the end of the 19th century.
Here’s a photo, probably from the Hillman area, of a haying crew. Equipment included a horse drawn mower, hand scythes, hand rakes and pitchforks. What appears to
be a haystack can be seen at the right rear of the picture. This picture was reproduced from an original tintype.

Hello, readers. I would like to take a
couple of lines to thank all of you who
have taken the time to express your
appreciation for the Bits and Pieces
article. It is always good to hear. But I
would also like to thank all of you who
call or email me with news of what is
going on with you or your organization.
That is very helpful to the readers. We
all like to keep up with what is happening in our community, clubs and
churches.
With the Fourth of July so fresh in our
minds, we might like to remember our
men and women serving our country
overseas. The American Legion has a
goodie box in which they collect personal hygiene items, calling cards, playing cards, small games, CDs and whatever else your imagination can come up
with to send to them. I would bet that
the Legion would even appreciate a box
of those zipper bags that liquid containers (shampoo, conditioner, lotions) have
to be put in. You can drop them off most
any day at the American Legion Post
after 2 p.m.
We have a couple of Lewiston men who
had themselves quite a weekend recently. They are both car enthusiasts
and participated in the Fairlane Club of
America car show in Dearborn. Frank
Prestigiacomo owns a 1967 Ford
Fairlane that is a dark metallic blue
with a white top and came in first place
with it. Gene Zyla owns a 1967 Comet
and his car came in third. This is a
national competition and there were
cars competing there from East Coast to
West Coast and everywhere in between.
Congratulations, guys. Sounds like you
put Lewiston on the map! On a personal
note, a 1967 Ford Fairlane was the first
new car my husband and I owned when
we got married. It was really fun to
drive, even without power steering, and
could really move down the road.
The Twin Lakes Property Owners Association is sponsoring our first ever
beach party at the public beach on East
Twin Lake on Saturday, July 11(7/11).
Everyone is invited to bring the kids, a
blanket or chairs, pack up a picnic or a
cooler and join the fun. The gathering
will begin at 5 p.m. and the event is free.
At 7:11 p.m. the concert begins with
Sneaky Peat providing the music. What
better way to spend a Saturday night
than with friends, family, food and music.
The Sassie Lassies are planning a trip
on Wednesday, July 29, to see The
Young Americans in Boyne Highlands.
They are meeting at St. Francis of Assisi
parking lot at 4 p.m. to carpool. The cost
is $46 and includes hors d’oeuvres, dinner and the show. A cash bar is available. Everyone is welcome, including
husbands. To RSVP and for more information, call Mickey at 786-7302, or
Phyllis at 786-2634, by July 18.
Julie Frederick sends her husband a
happy birthday wish. Richard celebrates his day on July 13.
We have people deserving congratulations on their anniversary and they are
George and Cheryl Klein and Ray and
Irene LaPointe, July 10; Jeff and Judy
Kennedy, July 11; Harold and Carolyn
Armstrong, Jr., Charlie and Trish
Grigsby and Frank and Sherry Korican,
July 12; A.T. and Kathy Nieman, July 14.
Birthday wishes go to Dot Bevan and
Gy Wain Tucker, July 8; Trixie Shepherd, July 9; Jessica Newton, Wayne

Albert Township board considers
health insurance changes
by Yvonne Swager
Albert Township board
members are considering
ways to save money on
health insurance. At the
regular meeting July 6,
they heard from Bob
Grochowski, agent for
Lappan Insurance, regarding some possibilities.
According
to
Grochowski, many entities are purchasing plans
with higher deductibles
and reimbursing the difference paid out of pocket
by employees.
“What that does, essentially, is it lowers the premium,” he said.
Employers use the savings in premiums to fund
the reimbursements, he
said, and most groups
save money because
people don’t go to the doctor every day. In addition
to reimbursements for
medical plans, he said reimbursements for prescription cards may also
save the township money.
Based on six contracts
at an average of three prescriptions per month,
Grochowski estimated
the current cost at $8,400
per year. Under a reimbursement plan, if 50 percent of the prescriptions
are generic, which aren’t
reimbursed, he estimated
the township would pay
$2,160 per year.
“You would still have a
net savings of $6,200. You
still deliver the same benefit at the same level, it’s
just a different way to get
there,” he said.
Board members are reviewing the information
and plan to address the
issue at a future meeting.
Also discussed at the
meeting were water collection
procedures.
Cheryl Scott, deputy treasurer, said she questioned whether the board
was adamant about a $25
late fee previously discussed.
The township previously charged a two percent late fee, but Scott
said she was unsure if
earlier discussion about a
flat $25 fee was finalized
in the form of a motion.
“I think it should be a
flat fee, I just don’t know
how much you want to
charge,” she said.
The board opted to further review the issue, and
Scott highlighted other
changes in water collection procedures. Remote
readers have been purchased, and entrance into
15 buildings will no
longer be necessary in
order to get a meter reading, she said.
A new water service
agreement requires individuals requesting water
to be turned on or off to
report to the township office to fill out a form.
Renters will not be allowed to have service
without an agreement
from the building owner.
Frozen meters as a result of a property owner
shutting water off at the
meter will be the responsibility of the property
owner. The water department also retains the
right of full ingress and
egress to buildings suspected of having a serious water problem that
may affect the water supply.
In other business:
• Greg Bator, president
of Twin Lake Property
Owners’ Association, reminded the board of the
Sneaky Peat concert to
take place at the beach on
July 11 at 7:11 p.m. He
said donations from the
association, Real Estate
One and Presque Isle
Electric and Gas Cooperative have made possible a
permanent power outlet
near the beach.
The beach will be closed
at 4 p.m. the day of the
concert to allow for set up
of the stage, decorations
and bathroom facilities.
• Board
members
agreed to not pay a bill
from the road commission for $350 for brining
of roads included in a resealing project. The
board members indicated
the brining should be
considered part of the
road project already
agreed upon.
• Approval was given to
hire Scott McTaggert as a
paramedic effective Aug.
1.
• A special meeting was
scheduled for July 7 at 9
a.m. for the purpose of
discussing road projects
with the county road commission. Board members
are not satisfied with the
road commission’s decision to not adhere to a
contract regarding road
projects. Some also indicated residential roads
are being unnecessarily
clear cut of trees as if the
projects are taking place
on major highways.
International music group to
perform in Lewiston Aug. 6
The Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp sends student
musicians to Europe each summer to perform.
Before the summer is over, they gather in the
hometown of one of their musicians to rehearse
and perform a concert before heading back to Blue
Lake Fine Arts Camp for the final summer concerts. Viktoria Nickert of Lewiston was chosen to
travel with the group this summer and Lewiston
has been chosen as the host town when the students reunite in August.
A group of seventy students and their conductor
will arrive in Lewiston on August 5. They will
rehearse and enjoy a variety of activities due to the
generosity of many community members. Local
families have offered to host the group and provide
meals. The students will perform a concert at
Lewiston School on Thursday, August 6 at 7:30
p.m. The concert is free and all are invited to
attend. For those wishing to make a donation, all
proceeds will go to the Johannesburg-Lewiston
Band Boosters.
If you would like more information, or would like
to make a food donation or help with the planned
activities, please call Michelle Nickert at 858-6769
or Cindy Gallaway at 370-1461.

Group trail ride planned
in Alpena this weekend
The Top of Michigan Trails Council (TOMTC) announces a group bicycle ride on the Alpena Bi-Path on
Saturday, July 11. The Bi-Path is the most extensive
and best-organized urban trail system in northern
Michigan and perhaps also the most scenic.
Riders will complete the main trail loop as well as
several connectors and extensions that have been
built in recent years to link up the city’s attractions.
Scenery is varied and beautiful. Riders will also see
where the Bi-Path will connect to the 70-mile rail-trail
between Alpena and Cheboygan that is expected to be
improved in 2010 or 2011. The ride will be about 17
miles and take about two hours. The trail is all-asphalt; all bicycles are welcome. There will be discount
lunch coupons available from JJ’s Steakhouse Restaurant near the trailhead.
Riders should meet at South Riverfront Park in
downtown Alpena at 10 a.m.
For more information on TOMTC trails go to
www.trailscouncil.org.
To register or to get more details call 231-348-8280 or
send e-mail to friend@trailscouncil.org. You can also

If you’re a pet owner, have you
ever considered what would happen if your pet needed expensive
medical care? Have you thought
about who would care for your pet
if you were to die suddenly? When
owners fail to plan for these possibilities, their pets run the risk of
ending up in a shelter or even being euthanized. With forethought
and planning, you can help avoid
these unfortunate scenarios. Here
are some options to consider:
Pet insurance. Like health insurance for people, pet insurance policies can make medical care more
affordable. Policies vary, so review
the fine print carefully to determine whether coverage requires a
waiting period, excludes certain illnesses, and covers lab tests and
prescriptions and treatment. Veterinary costs vary widely in different parts of the U.S., so be sure the
policy you choose provides reimbursements that are appropriate
for your area.
Dedicated account. Another way
to manage unexpected pet
healthcare costs is through a dedicated savings or credit card account. Consider building a cash
reserve to help pay for veterinary
bills or reserve a credit card for pet
emergencies. Either approach
can help reduce the impact of
these expenses on your overall
cash reserve or debt level.
Healthcare-only
credit.
CareCredit is a zero-interest
credit card established to pay only
for healthcare costs. It can be used
for pet care as well as human
health
expenses.
Visit
carecredit.com to determine if
your veterinary clinic accepts this
form of payment.
Pet trusts. If you have the financial means to fund a pet trust, it
can help ensure your pet’s ongoing care. With a trust, you can
name a trustee who is responsible
for making sure your pet is cared
for according to your wishes (as
outlined in the trust) and also
designate a caretaker for your pet.
Consult an attorney to determine
laws for pet trusts in your state
and whether your circumstances
would best be served by a statutory, testamentary or living trust,
each of which has unique features and benefits.
If you want the best for your pet,
enlist the help of a financial advisor to build a financial plan that
includes fees associated with raising and caring for your pet.

You can Relax - enjoy your leisure
if you let us handle all of
your insurance needs.
by Teresa Stauffer, superintendent/principal
“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on
earth can help the man with the wrong mental
attitude.”
- Thomas Jefferson
If we can get our students to come to school this fall
with the attitude that they can make a difference in
their lives, then there is nothing that can stop them
from achieving.
What does a right mental attitude look like?
1. Does it look like someone who works as hard as he
plays?
2. Does it look like someone who respects others no
matter how hard?
3. Does it look like someone who respects property
even if it doesn’t belong to him?
4. Does it look like someone who is responsible to be
at school on time?
5. Does it look like someone who is responsible to get
work done on time?
6. Does it look like someone who responds to serving
others in need?
7. Does it look like someone who responds to challenges by trying?
8. Does it look like someone you know?
9. Does it look like you?
Score: If you could answer yes to any of the above,
please call the school office to volunteer to help. We
have many ways you can be involved, and they are not
all work, you might just have some fun at the same
time.
One way we can be examples of great mental attitudes
is to be involved. How can you be involved in helping
students have a great mental attitude? When the students of Atlanta Community Schools see that parents
and community are involved in the planning and decisions made in the school, they will know that you care
about them and their attitude.
As always if you have comments, questions, or concerns, email tstauffer@atlanta.k12.mi.us or call the
school office 785-4877.

We thank the many people who tried and finally
rescued the Pomeranian dog that was wandering on
M-33. It was turned over to the Elk Country Animal
Shelter for care. Hopefully the owners will claim the
dog; if not it will be put up for adoption. Please, if you
can’t take care of your pet for any reason, take it to the
nearest animal shelter where it can find a new home.
We thank members, Jim and Alice Abbe, for sponsoring the recent “Birds of Prey” presentation given by
Joe and Barb Rogers of the Wildlife Recovery Association in Shepherd, MI. Up close we saw a barred owl,
screech owl, American kestrel, great horned owl, saw
whet owl and even a turkey buzzard. One interesting
fact we learned was that barred owl screams can sound
like ladies in distress, cougars, bobcats, domestic cats,
mink, weasels, coyote, trees rubbing together and
even wolves or bears. We hope to have Joe and Barbara back at another time!

Thunder Bay
Ladies Golf
news
by Edith Lennox
Michigan weather is
never boring. The Thunder Bay Ladies Golf
League members needed
extra layers for warmth
as they set out to play the
back nine on Thursday
morning. In spite of an
excess of rain, the course
was in very good shape.
Carol
Basney
and
Phyllis Liske tied for low
gross in the first flight
with 54, however, Phyllis
got the win with the better score on the most difficult hole. Low net went
to Del McElroy at 39 and
Carol Basney had low
putts of 16.
In second flight we had
another tie. MJ LaBeau
and Barb Moran both had
58, but the win went to
Barb. This gave MJ the
low net of 38. They both
came in with 16 putts to
tie again for the flight low.
Third flight low gross
was Nancy Dextrom with
61 and Doris Herrick at 38
was low net. Nancy also
had low putts of 16 and
topped off her day with a
chip-in on No. 13.
The afternoon warmed
up a bit and ten golfers
went on to play another
nine. The game for 18
holes, was the most sevens, wins. Del McElroy
wasn’t happy to have so
many sevens, but the
winner’s pot did ease the
pain. She also had a chipin on No. 1 and shared
that honor with Doris
Herrick whose chip-in
was on No. 2. Low net for
the week went to MJ
LaBeau. Her tie with
Phyllis Dieringer was
broken by regression.
There is one more week
to sign up for the Northern Ladies Golf Fun Day
on July 14. You don’t need
to register a foursome as
pairings will be done by
the committee.
Be sure to sign up for
the many tournaments
scheduled for this season
at Thunder Bay. What
better way to support
your favorite cause than a
round of golf on a summer day?

Smoking tires and roaring
engines at the Hillman Street Drags
Jeremy McSwain heats
up the tread in a Dodge
Ram before hitting the
strip at Hillman Street
Drags.

The tires were smoking
and engines were roaring
at the 16th Annual Hillman Street Drags on July
5. Some 60 competitors
registered for the event
brought to Progress
Street by Wheels Car
Club.
Tom Ward once again
took top prize for the fastest motorcycle. On his
2003 Suzuki Hayabusa,
Ward managed 121.32
mph in the 1/8 mile
stretch of drag strip. Mike
Flewelling walked away
with the trophy for the
fastest auto for pushing
his 1947 Plymouth to
107.6 mph.
It wasn’t just men in the
drivers’ seats, though.
One of the women participating
was
Laurie
Yoemans of Fairview.
She brought her 1923
Ford T-Bucket to town for
her first official race.
According to Yoemans,
she comes from a long
line of race car drivers.
“My uncle was an Indy
car driver and my father
was a rally sports car
driver,” she said.
A new engine had been
put in her car, she said,
and she wasn’t setting her
race expectations too
high.

what she’s going to do,” Yoemans
said.
Her car, dubbed The Night
Rider, sports a 350 hp engine.
She said she was curious how the
new engine would perform.
“I’ll probably make a fool of
myself out there,” Yoemans said.
Halfway through her first run
down the strip, her accelerator
pedal became disconnected.
With help from her husband,
Steve, and a zip tie, she was up
and running for the next heat.
She didn’t win the trophy, but
eventually screamed down the
strip at a top speed of 94.04 mph.
“It was a good run for the first
time ever,” Yoemans said.

Summer.
Children enjoyed games in the park after the parade,
including this three-legged race.
A LOCAL FIREMAN concentrates as he tries to push a
hanging ball over to the opposing team’s area during the
waterball tournament in Atlanta last Saturday. One team
from the Vienna Township Fire Department and three

Community enjoys annual open house at MediLodge
A sixth annual open
house took place at
MediLodge of Hillman
as part of the Mill River
Days celebration in
Hillman last weekend.
Consumed at the BBQ
were a number of
roasted pigs, seven
turkeys and 700 hot
dogs.
As part of the festivities, a ribbon cutting
of the new therapy
wing took place. A residential hall was converted to serve as a
therapy wing and now
features two large adjoining therapy rooms.
The facility did not
previously have a wing
designated
for
therapy. The area for
therapy has now been
expanded by 150
square feet.

ribbon for the new therapy wing during last weekend’s celebration of Mill
River Days. Looking on is a pleased Justin Moreau, facility administrator.

Attorney for Plaintiff
ORDER FOR ANSWER
On the 18th day of May,
2009 a Land Contract Forfeiture action was filed by Plaintiff John Thomas Weber, Trustee, “Catherine B. Weber Revocable Trust” against the Defendants Yvonne M. Ladd and Larry
A. Kowalski.
Upon consideration of Plaintiff’s verified motion attesting
to the fact that the Defendants,
in this action cannot be personally served with a summons
and a copy of the complaint
herein because their present
whereabouts are unknown, and
they have no known address,
and that publication of notice
of this action in a newspaper of
general circulation in Montmorency County, Michigan, is
most likely to give notice to the
Defendants and it appearing to
this court that Plaintiff, after
diligent search and inquiry has
been unable to ascertain the
location of the Defendants or
their place of residence either
in or out of the State of Michigan and it further appearing
that personal service of the
summons and complaint in this
action cannot be made on the
Defendants for the above stated reasons and that publication is the best means available
to apprise the Defendants
Yvonne M. Ladd and Larry A.
Kowalski of the pendency of
this action.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that
the Defendants Yvonne M. Ladd
and Larry A. Kowalski, shall on
or before August 6, 2009 serve
their answer on Benjamin T.
Bolser, Attorney for Plaintiff,
whose address is 12355 State
Street, P.O. Box 315, Atlanta,
MI 49709, or take such other
action as may be permitted by
law. Failure to comply with
this Order may result in a judgment by default against the
Defendants for the relief demanded in the complaint filed
in this court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED
that a copy of this order be
published once each week for
three consecutive weeks in the
Montmorency County Tribune,
a newspaper of general circulation hereby designated as most
likely to give notice to the Defendants Yvonne M. Ladd and
Larry A. Kowalski. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the first
publication of this order be
made within 14 days from the
date of entry of this order; that
mailing and posting a copy of
this order be dispensed with
because the Plaintiff cannot,
with reasonable diligence, ascertain a place where Yvonne
M. Ladd and Larry A. Kowalski
would receive matter transmitted by mail or observe posting.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Aries, there's not
much you can do this week but sit tight and
wait for the action to find you. It will come,
and when it does, it will be overwhelming
for some time.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: If you want a
relationship to blossom, Taurus, you have
to be very patient. Things will not move at
the pace you had hoped for, but they will
eventually get going.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Gemini, others
are no match for you this week. Your wit
leaves them all wanting more time in your
presence. Soon you could grow weary of all
this attention.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Cancer, there
will be some road blocks in your way. But
being the adventurous sort, you will find the
easiest way around them. Leave your ego at
the door.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Leo, there isn't much
time for an argument, so when someone
approaches you asking for help, simply go
along and do your analysis later on.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: You're easily
distracted because of the workload you
currently have, Virgo. However, once you
learn to delegate you will find things come
much more easily.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: You keep flipflopping on your ideas, Libra. Set your mind
to something and follow through. Do what
is best for you and not what you think others
want.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22: Some good
news comes your way, Scorpio, and it is
certainly just in time. You have had your
share of hardships, but things could be
turning around.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: Your attempts at reconnecting with family aren't
going quite as you had planned, Sagittarius. It could be you're taking the wrong
approach to the situation.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20: Capricorn,
stop setting up so many "rules" for yourself
and others. That is no way to live life and
you can miss out on so many things along
the way. Loosen up.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: Aquarius,
despite all of your efforts, there's no way to
find any peace and quiet in your home. You
may have to come up with a different living
arrangement if you want privacy.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: A visit from a
loved one is all you need this week, Pisces.
It will bring a smile to your face and recharge your batteries.

Library Update:
Books from the Montmorency County Library System
Mr. and Miss Anonymous by Fern Michaels
No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Fern
Michaels has won millions of fans with her unforgettable, emotionally charged novels. In Mister and Miss
Anonymous, she explores the unexpected, often devastating, turns in life that pull people apart and the
twists of fate that bring them back together again.
College senior Lily Madison is on her own and desperate to pay for her last semester of school. With nowhere to turn, she makes the difficult decision to
donate her eggs to a fertility clinic. Sam Parker is also
a penniless student who supplements his tuition
money by visiting a sperm bank. One day, Lily and
Sam meet at the clinic and talk about their secret.
They agree the clinic gives them an odd feeling, as if
all is not as it seems. Despite their obvious attraction,
Lily and Sam go their separate ways.
Twenty years have passed and Lily often wonders if
she has a child somewhere in the world. She also
thinks a lot about Sam. Now a wealthy entrepreneur,
Sam never forgot Lily either, and when he sees her in
an airport one day, he falls for her all over again. But
while they enjoy their unlikely reunion, a story on the
news has them riveted. Two teenage boys are missing
and their disappearance may be linked to the fertility
clinic Sam and Lily visited in college. In a shocking
twist, one of the boys looks exactly like Sam.
Lily and Sam are now determined to find out what
really went on at the clinic all those years ago. When
the whole story comes out, the truth will be more than
they bargained for. But they will discover that letting
go of their secrets from the past is the best way to build
a future worth fighting for.
Summer on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber
Knitting and life. They’re both about beginnings and
endings. That’s why it makes sense for Lydia Goetz,
owner of A Good Yarn on Seattle’s Blossom Street, to
offer a class called Knit to Quit. It’s for people who
want to quit something or someone and start a new
phase of their lives.
First to join is Phoebe Rylander. She recently ended
her engagement to a man who doesn’t know the
meaning of faithful, and she’s trying to get over him.
Then there’s Alix Turner. She and her husband, Jordan, want a baby, which means she has to quit smoking. And Bryan Hutchinson joins the class because he
needs a way to deal with the stress of running his
family’s business, not to mention the lawsuit brought
against him by an unscrupulous lawyer. Life can be as
complicated as a knitting pattern. Just ask Anne
Marie Roche. She and her adopted daughter, Ellen,
finally have the happiness they wished for. And then
a stranger comes to her bookstore asking questions.
Or ask Lydia herself. Not only is she coping with her
increasingly frail mother, but she and Brad have
unexpectedly become foster parents to an angry, defiant twelve-year-old. But as Lydia already knows,
when life gets difficult and your stitches are snarled,
your friends can always help!

I want to send a thank you to the community who supported TriTownship Fire Department over this Independence Day weekend at our
Waterball Tournament on July 4th. We had a great showing of
spectators and numerous donations that helped make the event
happen. I would like to give special thanks to my fellow firefighters from
Atlanta and Vienna Township in providing a spectacular show; Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce and Briley Township’s staff, especially John
Zollars; Freddies Family Market, especially Scott Whitt for his help with
me purchasing hotdogs and pop; Family Enterprise of Alpena for their
great looking trophy; the Montmorency Press for their help with advertising; Charles and Mary Jo Whitmire Jr., Charles Whitmire III (C3) and
the late Paula Lucus (you will be missed) for helping at the concession
stand at this year’s event. Without all of you, this couldn’t have been
pulled off. If I forgot anyone, I apologize and appreciate all that you have
done.

Hospice offers family camp
Munson Hospice and
Palliative Care offer a
family fun camp for families who have experienced the loss of a significant family member or
friend. The overnight session offers opportunity
for fun and bonding after
a significant loss.
The event will be at the
YMCA’s Camp HayoWent-Ha from 11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 21 to 11 a.m.
Saturday, Aug. 22.
Munson Hospice art
therapy coordinator, Barbara McIntyre, Ph.D.,
said the camp allows
families to have fun together and find a way to
make a memorial for their
lost loved one. All the
camp’s various activity
options will be available
for families to participate
in.
“It’s a chance for families to find a new sense of
normal in their life, even
to eat meals together after the death of a loved
one,” McIntyre said. “A
lot of times, that empty
chair keeps them from
sitting down and eating a
meal.”
The cost is $10 per person or $25 per family.

McIntyre at 231-935-8492
