Clare okays tiny homes

Clare¡¯s Lake Shamrock dredging underway

Turbidity curtains will contain excess silt while Lake

Shamrock is dredged

By Pat Maurer

Correspondent

In a brief, 17-minute

meeting October 4th, the

Clare City Commission

approved just three items

of new business.

The first item of business was the second

reading, and subsequent

approval of an ordinance

amendment, allowing, and

regulating tiny homes in

the City.

Because currently the

City doesn¡¯t allow tiny

homes in the city limits,

ordinance codes prohibiting them include minimum

building size, tires and

tongues on houses hookups

and more.

A local business owner

who is constructing a tiny

home approached the

City several months ago

about amending the City¡¯s

code ordinance to create

a specific ordinance that

would allow tiny homes

in the City. The matter

was referred to the Planning Commission, who

reviewed the matter and

the possible ordinance in

March, May and Jul. They

asked consultant Jill Bahm

to gather information for

the development of a tiny

homes ordinance. She

presented a draft ordinance

amendment to the Planning

Commission in September,

resulting in their recommendation that the City

adopt the resolution for the

ordinance amendment.

At the September 20

meeting, a public hearing

and the first reading was

held.

The new ordinance

amendment includes a

lower or flat roof pitch on

Commission determined

that all single-family

be connected to City water

and sewer.

Mary Ann Shurlow, who recently retired after

selling her business the Herrick House and Mulberry

Caf¨¦ in Clare, was honored with a Special Tribute

Monday morning.

The tribute reads, ¡°Let it be known, that it is

with great respect and appreciation that Mary Ann

Shurlow is recognized as she embarks on the newest

chapter in her life ¨C retirement.¡±

Presented to her by Republican Representative

of the 97th District and Speaker of the Michigan

House Jason Wentworth, and signed by Wentworth,

Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Lt. Governor Garlin

Gilchrist II and State Senator Rick Outman (33rd

District), the tribute continued, ¡°¡­Mary Ann has

been a constant and comforting presence for many

in Clare as she held numerous positions within the

Clare Osteopathic Hospital¡­as 3-11 Supervisor,

Staff Anesthetist and Physician¡¯s Aid positions, all

while she continued her education at the Hurley

Medical Center School of Anesthesia, where she

received the Agatha Hodgins Memorial Award for

Outstanding Nurse Anesthetist. She also helped set

up the Coronary Care Unit in the Clare Osteopathic

Hospital and set up and taught a basic Coronary Care

Class and EKG¡¯s.¡±

The Tribute outlined Mary Ann¡¯s accomplishments in private business as 1982 Co-Founder/Part

Owner of Care-More Incorporated in 1982, opening

the Farwell Facility that same year. Over the next

few years three additional facilities in Clare and Mt.

Pleasant opened bringing Clare More¡¯s bed capacity

from its original 14 to over 75.

In addition to her health business ventures,

together with her daughter-in-law Jenny, she started

the Herrick House in 2004 as a gift shop. In 2006 the

business was expanded to add the Mulberry Caf¨¦, a

popular place throughout the community that created

the ¡°quintessential Small Town America feeling¡±

with delicious breakfast and lunch menus and ¡°wonderful desserts including her specialty ¨C home made

pies known all over the area.

She has still managed to find time to be active in

local organizations and boards in the community,

serving as President of the Clare Chamber of Commerce for three years, on the Downtown Development Board for the past ten years and as an active

leader and Chair of the Clare United Methodist

Church Administrative Board for the past six years.

The tribute, dedicated to Mary Ann Shurlow for

five decades of work in the community, offers congratulations on her retirement.

Former Isabella officer faces felony charges

By Pat Maurer

Correspondent

Former Isabella County

Corrections Officer,

Christopher Cluley is now

facing felony charges for

an alleged assault against

a jail inmate about a year

and a half ago.

According to information from Michigan

Attorney General Dana

Nessel, ¡°On April 12,

2020, Sgt. Christopher Cluley was working

in the Isabella County

Jail as the administrator in

charge when he interacted

with an inmate during a

cell transfer. The transfer

was the result of a verbal disagreement between

the inmate and another

corrections officer. Once

the inmate was standing

just outside of the cell,

video evidence shows Cluley grabbed the inmate,

spun him around and

pushed him into the cell

door before then pushing

him into the wall next to

the cell door. Then, after

walking the inmate to the

new cell, video evidence

shows Cluley pushed the

inmate to the ground,

where the inmate cried

out in pain upon crashing

to the floor. An x-ray later

determined the inmate suffered a fractured left knee.¡±

The AG¡¯s information

continued, ¡°Cluley was

placed on administrative leave the following

day while the Isabella

County Sheriff?s Department conducted an internal investigation. The

Isabella County Sheriff?s

Department then contacted the Michigan State

Christopher Cluley

Police (MSP) and [the]

MSP¡¯s Special Investigation Section completed

their own investigation

and referred the matter to

the PIU (Police Intervention Unit).

In a media statement,

Sheriff Michael Main said,

¡°On April 12th 2020, I

was made aware of a use

of force incident that occurred between a corrections officer and an inmate

at the Isabella County Jail.

I was told that the incident

appeared to be outside of

protocols, policy and the

standards that are in place

at the Sheriff¡¯s Office.¡±

He continued, ¡°I instructed my command staff

to begin an immediate investigation into the matter.

It was quickly determined

through the investigation

that day, that there was

enough information to

place the employee on a

suspended leave, pending

the rest of the investigation.¡±

He said the inmate,

the victim in the assault,

requested a criminal

investigation in addition to

the department¡¯s internal

investigation.

Sheriff Main said, ¡°I

requested the Michigan

State Police to assume the

criminal investigation.

The internal investigation

was placed on hold until

the criminal investigation

was completed so as to not

interfere with that portion

of this incident. Once the

criminal investigation was

completed, the internal

investigation started again.

The employee [Cluley] remained on suspended leave

until the internal investigation was completed.¡±

The Michigan State

Police submitted their

findings to the Isabella

County Prosecutor who

requested the Michigan

Attorney General¡¯s Office

either handle the matter

or provide it to an outside

prosecutor, which is standard protocol.

Once the investigation

was completed, it was determined that several policy violations had occurred

showing an egregious behavior and systemic failure

of the employee to perform

his duties as a corrections

officer in this incident.

Main added, ¡°The

employee never returned

to the jail or building in

any capacity from the

point of initial reports of

the incident to the day of

termination. The Isabella

County Sheriff¡¯s Office

certainly doesn¡¯t condone

any such actions by any

of its employees. I, like

all law enforcement, take

any behavior that falls

outside of the allowable

and acceptable practices

Union Twp woman walking

home dies after hit by truck

By Pat Maurer

Correspondent

A 76-year-old Union

Township woman, Marcia

David, who was walking

back to her home after

what investigators believe

was a trip to her mailbox,

died after she was hit by a

pickup that ran off the road

Tuesday afternoon.

A release from Isabella

County Sheriff Michael

Main said the woman,

whose name has not been

released, was hit by a 2014

GMC Sierra pickup driven

by a 23-year-old Mt.

Pleasant man.

The incident happened

on Bamber Road north of

Pickard Road in Union

Township around 3:52

p.m. October 12th.

Upon their arrival at

the scene, investigating

deputies were told by the

pickup driver that ¡°he may

have fallen asleep and left

the roadway,¡± hitting the

pedestrian. Mrs. David

was pronounced deceased

at the scene.

The pickup driver was

taken to a local Emergency

Department ¡°to be checked

out,¡± the release said.

Officers were assisted at

the scene by Mobile Medical Response Ambulance

Service, the Mt. Pleasant

Fire Department, Michigan

State Police and Mt. Pleasant Police Department.

very seriously for anyone

who performs these very

critical functions in our

society. My office has

worked cooperatively with

the Michigan State Police

and the Michigan Attorney

General¡¯s Office on this

matter.¡±

AG Nessel¡¯s office

reported that Cluley was

charged in 76th District

Court with:

two counts of misconduct in office, five-year

felonies; and

one count of aggravated

assault, a one-year misdemeanor.

Cluley appeared for

arraignment Wednesday,

October 6th, and was

scheduled for a probable cause conference

Thursday,Oct. 14. He was

given a $21,000 personal recognizance bond. Cluley was also ordered to

have no contact with the

victim, no assaultive conduct and is not allowed to

leave the state without the

Court?s permission.

Two die in head-on crash in

Midland County

By Pat Maurer

Correspondent

A West Branch man and

Gratiot County woman

died when the vehicle they

were both in crossed the

centerline on South Meridian Road just north of East

Freeland Road in Porter

Township last Friday

afternoon.

Investigators from the

Midland County Sheriff¡¯s

Department said Samuel

Neve, 18 of West Branch,

was driving a silver 2010

Dodge avenger north of

South Meridian Road. Gracie Hatton, 22 of Gratiot

County was a passenger in

the vehicle.

The investigation indicated that Neve lost control

of his vehicle on the wet

roadway, and crossed the

center line into the path of

a southbound black 2019

Ford F250.

The crash happened at

approximately 4:31 p.m.

October 8th.

Both Neve and Hatton

were pronounced deceased

at the scene. The driver of

the Ford F250, who was

alone in the vehicle, was

not injured.

All involved in the crash

were wearing the seat belts

at the time and air bags

deployed in both vehicles.

Investigators said there

was no indication that

drugs or alcohol played a

part in the crash, but that

the results of toxicology

reports would make a final

determination.

The crash report was to

be forwarded to the Midland County Prosecutor¡¯s

Office for review when

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

¡®Healing therapy through art¡¯ with Breast Cancer Kim Kleinhardt¡¯s story

By Pat Maurer

Correspondent

October is Breast Cancer

Awareness Month because it

is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of

finding breast cancer early

through self-exams and regular mammograms.

But finding you have breast

cancer is only the beginning

of an incredible journey.

Dealing with the terrible

journey those with cancer

face on a daily basis can be

the hardest, most stressful

day-to-day battle imaginable,

but there are positive ways

to cope with this disease and

stimulate a ¡°healing therapy¡±

through creativity.

Former art teacher and

business owner of the 515

Gallery, Kim Kleinhardt has

found a way to share her

personal cancer ¡°journey¡±

through her own art.

¡°[A]Recent systematic

review . . . acknowledged that

ART THERAPY enhances the

psychological state among

breast cancer patients.¡±

¡°Music therapy is an effective

complimentary health approach in integrative oncology treatment which provides

support for cancer patients.¡±*

Kim writes, ¡°As a life-time

resident of Clare County, I¡¯m

privileged to have been asked

to share my individual cancer

journey with an emphasis on

the healing benefits through

the arts. Unfortunately, we

can each identify names

of friends and or family

members stricken with this

disease so by sharing with

the readers the steps I am

taking to ¡°heal,¡± I¡¯m hopeful

that others can take comfort

in knowing that they are not

alone in this journey and can

actually find soulful healing

by placing a focus, if only for

a moment or two, on creative

endeavors simply through

picking up a pencil or a

paintbrush or even turning to

a radio station and listening to

your favorite music.¡±

¡°Art, by definition, is the

expression of human creativ-

ity and imagination. Visual

art can take many different

forms and express a multitude

of emotions. Whether you

are creating art for the first

time or returning to practice,

it can be a powerful way to

cope with stressful times.¡±**

Kim explained, ¡°The

health journey I¡¯ve traveled this year inspired my

personal work reflecting on

this disease. A breast cancer

diagnosed in March 2021

began my unexpected medical

education. From a 3-D mammogram, to an ultra sound

with and without contrast, to a

punch biopsy, the results were

conclusive and personal decisions had to be made quickly

within 90 days. Choices

included lumpectomy with

radiation or a mastectomy; I

chose what felt to be best for

me . . . a bilateral mastectomy

with reconstruction. By two

weeks out ¨C I was physically

ready but not emotionally so

I reached for a familiar outlet

as a means of individual

mental and emotional expres-

sion. Having retired as the

Clare High School art teacher

I would often share with my

students the enormous benefits to art that are oftentimes

more ¡°felt¡± than seen. So, I

was provided with this opportunity to not only talk the talk

but to also walk the talk.¡±

She continued, ¡°Art has

always and will continue

to be my passion. In years

past I had participated in

ArtPrize exhibiting works

that were close to my heart

and hopefully meaningful

to viewers. This year I had

the added benefit to release a

flood of emotions through a

triptych composition, ¡°Pins

& Needles,¡± displaying the

three stages, thus far, of my

journey. They were displayed

at the Monroe Community

Church in Grand Rapids for

ArtPrize 2021. The first panel

of this composition depicted

the initial bilateral mastectomy; the second panel was the

bandaged drain process postmastectomy; the third panel

was more about the emotional

aspects of the loss with more

decisions yet to be made. My

goal is to further incorporate

additional panels as my process continues through breast

reconstruction. Through

viewer opportunities, I hope

to bring awareness of community to others knowing this

path is, in actuality, one that

is not faced alone.¡±

Breast cancer is one of the

most common kinds of cancer

in women. One in every eight

women, 12.4 percent, born

today in the United States

will get, and have to deal with

breast cancer at some point in

their lives.

Breast cancer is also the

second most common cancer

among women in the United

States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention, there are 237,000

women diagnosed with breast

cancer and 41,000 deaths

each year in the U.S.

The ¡°Big C¡± isn¡¯t exclusive to women. It also hits

men, although it is less common. In men, there are 2,100

diagnoses and 450 deaths

annually, or one in 1,000 men

who have a lifetime risk.

Symptoms of breast cancer

include: any change in the

shape or size of the breast;

thickening or swelling of

part of the breast; redness or

flaky skin in the nipple area

or the breast; pulling in of the

nipple; pain in the nipple area

or any region of the breast;

a new lump or knot in the

breast or underarm; nipple

discharge other than breast

milk; including blood.

The main factors that influence your risk for breast cancer include: gender ¨C women

are significantly at higher risk

than men; age ¨C most breast

cancers are found in women

who are 50 years old or older;

genetics ¨C family history can

influence your risk.

How about honoring

both Columbus and

Native Americans?

This past Monday we

celebrated Columbus

Day, in honor of Christopher Columbus, the first

European white settler to

set foot in the Americas.

The holiday is celebrated

with parades, fanfare and

the closure of schools, post

offices and banks. It has

been this way since 1937,

but if some of us have our

way, Columbus Day might

become a holiday of the

past.

Already several states

and cities, have canned the

Columbus name in favor

of Indigenous Peoples¡¯

Day.

Typically on the second

Monday of October,

Indigenous Peoples¡¯ Day

recognizes the Indigenous

communities that have

lived in the United States

for thousands of years. It

grew increasingly common as a replacement for

Columbus Day, which

is meant to celebrate the

explorer who sailed with a

crew from Spain in three

ships, the Nina, Pinta and

Santa Maria, in 1492.

Columbus has always

been a controversial figure.

Anti-immigrant groups in

the 19 th Century rejected

the holiday because of its

association with Catholicism. Recently Native

Americans and other

groups have protested

because Columbus¡¯s landing is believed to be the

beginnings of slave trade

and the deaths of millions

from infectious diseases.

In fact that was Columbus¡¯s intent- to chart a

western sea route to China

and India, where gold and

spice were plentiful.

Here are a couple of

interesting facts:

-Most Europeans at the

time of Columbus knew

the world was round, but

they didn¡¯t know the Pacific Ocean existed. They

assumed that only the Atlantic Ocean lay between

Europe and the East Indies

(China and India)

-Columbus was not the

first explorer to land in the

Americas. Five centuries

before (500 years) the Vikings established colonies

in Greenland and Newfoundland.

-It wasn¡¯t until his third

trip to the Americas that

Columbus realized he

hadn¡¯t reached Asia, but

instead had stumpled on an

unknown continent.

As a traditionalist I

believe Columbus Day

should stand. But on the

other hand, celebrating a

mission that landed in The

Bahamas, and Columbus

and his men thought they

were actually in China,

probably isn¡¯t the magnitude of Martin Luther King

Day.

A couple of states

have decided to have a

dual holiday- celebrating

May I walk with you?

By Daniel Fachting, Ph.D.

Encounter

as faith

Columbus Day and Indigenous Day at the same

time. If it were my decision I would do just that.

For the traditionalists or

Italian Americans that have

always recognized Columbus, the holiday should

stay in place. For those that

think Native Americans

deserve recognition as

well- they too should have

the special day.

Holidays bring the best

out in Americans. We

display our patriotism. We

declare how proud we are

to be citizens of this great

nation. Some think we

have too many holidays. I

used to be one of those, but

as I grow older I realize it

is important to recognize

events and people that

helped shape America. Columbus was one of those,

but so were the Native

Americans that established

their presence long before

Columbus.

As of this writing the

holiday is now past. Maybe

however for future years

we can explore the dual

holiday suggestion and

honor both Columbus and

Native Americans.

It is the middle of October already!

I just don¡¯t know where

all the time goes.

Well actually I guess I

do, but it sure would be nice

if we could slow it down a

little.

Now it is time to get

ready for Halloween. I have

seen decorations all over

and pumpkins on nearly

every porch in town.

Terry and Lisa have even

held their annual family

Halloween pumpkin carving

contest and we have already

voted for our favorite out of

the six posted on Facebook.

Fall seems to be arriving a bit later than usual

this year. Usually by mid

October (that is today folks)

the trees are mostly turned

and loads have already hit

the ground.

Well at least some of the

trees are in full color now

and the fall flowers are in

bloom all over.

We are still waiting for

the fall season to peak so

we can go color touring¡­

And there are loads of green

leaves out there waiting to

turn ¨C and fall.

With the misty rainy

weather, I¡¯ll bet a lot of

leaves are going to be

coming down pretty soon.

Jack and I went out for a

brief ride today (Monday)

but didn¡¯t see a lot of color

around here as yet.

I¡¯m thinking this coming

weekend should be a great

time for color touring, and

if all works out this year I

will be doing it with sister

in law Cathy as we are

Person of the Trinity. Naturally, there are Christian

values and beliefs and morality that evolve from our

encounter with Jesus, but

our core experience of life is

Jesus and his teachings, not

a philosophy or the product

of socialization.

Christianity is also different in that no one in compelled by force to be Christian. While some want to

think that being Christian is

the product of socialization,

one can only be Christian as

the result of making a freewill choice. As humans, we

can either accept or reject

Jesus. We can either accept

or reject the teachings of the

Bible and the Church. We

make a conscious choice

about faith. We ultimately

choose our path.

Obviously, Christianity

has been misrepresented

throughout history and

used to harm whole groups

of people, fight wars, and

support evil, cause fear and

traumatize people. Just

because you claim to be

Christian doesn¡¯t prevent

sin. Yet, where true Christianity is lived there is peace,

justice, and love.

keep you. May He let His

face shine upon you and

give you His peace.¡±

What a great and

beautiful day we are

having as the weather is

looking more like early

August than September. I

have always loved the fall

of the year because it is

more beautiful. The long

shadows of summer are

with us and that we are

enjoying them more than

in the summer months...I

guess maybe it is because

we are thinking about what

is next.......and I do not

mean that I do not like the

fall or winter months as I

do.....but it is the time for

preserving foods for the

months to come.....so today I will start with some

that you can do for the

months to come.......

PEACH PICKLES

8 pounds of peeled

ripe peaches (small to

medium size)

1 Tbsp. ginger

3 pounds white sugar

2 Tbsp. whole cloves,

crushed

\quart vinegar

\4 sticks cinnamon (2

inches long)

Wash and peel peaches

with a sharp knife and

drop into cold salt and

vinegar water solution (2

tablespoons each of salt

and vinegar per gallon

water). Dissolve sugar

in vinegar in a preserving

kettle and put on range to

heat. Boil five (5) minutes

and skim. Add spices (tied

loosely in cheesecloth)

Wash salt-vinegar

water off peaches and

drain well. Drop drained

peaches into boiling syrup

and cook until they can be

pierced with a fork. but

not soft. Remove from

heat and allow peaches to

set in syrup overnight to

plump. Bring to a boil and

pack into hot, overheated

jars, leaving 1/2 inch head

space.

Process

for 20 minutes. Cool and

store. This will make

approximately three (3)

quarts Super gooood!!!!!

windows washed before the

temperatures drop too low,

and this place could use a

little ¡°fall cleaning,¡± but as

usual, I am spending most

of my time here at the computer, and not nearly enough

getting chores done.

When I do have time,

there¡¯s always something

much more fun to do.

Just going for a walk in

the fall has a lot to be said

for it. After all, it won¡¯t be

long before those flakes start

coming down again.

Spring certainly seems

like a long, long time

City together. It should be a

beautiful time to travel and

see some fall color on the

west side of the State ¨C and

spend some quality time

with my buddy.

I was looking back a

few years and noticed that I

often mentioned that every

fall chore when we lived out

on the Tobacco ¨C raking.

Not so much here. We

only have a few trees ¨C most

just planted and their leaves

can stay there until Jack

mows them up.

On the river, I used to

hope for a good west wind

to come along and blow

them all into the river¡­

Growing up in Roscommon ¡°in the woods¡± we always had loads and loads of

leaves. The yard was full of

oak, maple and poplar trees.

Mom would rake and more

would come down and she

would be out there raking

again. After years of this she

changed her outlook. She

just mowed them up every

time a batch blew down.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Another fall chore is the

¡°annual putting away.¡± I

need to pack up all of the

summer shorts, Capri¡¯s, tank

tops and short sleeve shirts

for another winter and dig

out all of the warm clothes

again. Right now the closet

is a messy mix of both seasons. You just never know

what you will need in the

morning this time of year.

I am leaning more

towards sweaters and sweatshirts now. And although I

don¡¯t miss the raking this

time of year, I am missing the fireplace we used to

What¡¯s Cooking?

It is common in our

American culture to believe

that all religions are equal.

It is also common to respond

to the question, ¡°Why are

you Christian?¡± by saying, ¡°It was the way I was

raised.¡± There is the common belief that we believe

what we do because we have

been indoctrinated through

education, being socialized

in our families and culture,

which finally leads to internalization. Through these

methods each person arrives

at their core beliefs. One

conclusion is that there is no

truth behind any religion.

Religions are just made up

so that the culture can survive. Another conclusion is

that all religions are of equal

value.

Christianity is different.

First, Christians do not base

their faith on what their

culture teaches them, but

their faith is based on a personal encounter with Jesus

Christ. While faith in Jesus

is passed on through sharing, it is not primarily why

Christians believe. Christian

belief is based on having an

encounter with Jesus, which

leads to an ongoing personal

relationship with the person,

Jesus.

Christianity is different

also because Jesus is not

about a philosophy, or a set

of values, or moral norms, or

socially accepted behaviors

or beliefs. Christianity is

about a person. That person

is Jesus Christ, the Second
