CorrectionA primary election advance story

published in last week’s edition ofthe Chronicle inadvertently left outthe names of two candidates runningfor the 84th District House seat cur-rently held by Terry Brown. Themissed candidates are James L.Wencel of Bad Axe and Tom Wassaof Fairgrove, both of whom are run-ning on the Republican ticket.

The Chronicle regrets the error.

A new National Park Service (NPS)report shows that the nearly two mil-lion visitors to Michigan’s nationalparks in 2013 spent $166.4 millionand supported more than 2,547 jobsin the state.

“The national parks of Michiganattract millions of visitors a yearfrom across the country and aroundthe world,” said Patricia Trapp, act-ing director of NPS’s MidwestRegion, which includes Michiganand 12 other states.

“Whether it’s a day trip of a longfamily vacation, they come for agreat experience — and they end upspending a little money along theway, too,” Trapp added. “This newreport confirms that national parktourism is a significant driver in thenational economy, returning $10 forevery $1 invested in the NationalPark Service. This reality makesparks tourism an important factor inMichigan’s economy as well. It’s aresult we all can support.”

Michigan’s national parks are IsleRoyale National Park, KeweenawNational Historical Park, PicturedRocks National Lakeshore, SleepingBear Dunes National Lakeshore, andRiver Raisin National BattlefieldPark.

The peer-reviewed NPS visitorspending analysis was conducted byU.S. Geological Survey economistsCatherine Cullinane Thomas,Christopher Huber and LynneKoontz of the National Park Service.

The national report shows $14.6billion of direct spending by 273.6million park visitors in “gateway”communities within 60 miles of anational park. This spending sup-ported more about 237,000 jobsnationally — 197,000 them in parkgateway communities — and had acumulative benefit to the U.S. econ-omy of $26.5 billion.

In 2012, Michigan’s national parksattracted nearly 2.2 million visitorswho spent $181.7 million supportingmore than 2,800 jobs in the state.The authors of the report said the 16-day government shutdown inOctober 2013 accounted for most ofthe national decline in park visita-tion.

According to the national report,most park visitor spending was forlodging (30.3 percent), food andbeverages (27.3 percent), gas and oil(12.1 percent), and admissions andfees (10.3 percent). Souvenirs andother expenses accounted for theremaining 10 percent. Nationally, thelargest jobs categories supported byvisitor spending were restaurants andbars (50,000 jobs) and lodging(38,000 jobs).

Enjoy a taste of theThumb at the fair

The Tuscola County Fair is marking its 133rd

birthday this year, and we’d like to encourage

everyone to get out and spend at least a few hours

at the fairgrounds in Caro next week.

County fairs are special, and not just because

they bring back fond childhood memories of Ferris

wheels, funnel cakes, pie eating contests and grand

champion market steer ribbons.

The fair also offers visitors an accurate snapshot

of the surrounding communities — our citizens’

talents, work ethic and good old-fashioned values,

as well as our ability to take that much-needed

break now and then and simply have a good time

with our friends and neighbors.

As a rural, agricultural region, we have plenty to

offer visitors with special events and exhibits,

some boasting the top produce, prettiest flowers

and hardiest livestock; others showcasing resi-

dents’ talents, from various artistic mediums to

quilts.

Few other fairs can top Tuscola County in partic-

ipation among 4-Hers — young people of all ages

and interests — whose hard work and dedication

will leave you feeling pretty good about the

younger generation.

You can also witness first-hand how county busi-

nesses support our youth by spending thousands of

dollars purchasing the animals these kids have

raised and worked with for the past several

months, learning lessons that will last them a life-

time.

And talk about entertainment. From contempo-

rary Christian music and an ice cream social to X-

Treme Motorcycle Racing, truck and tractor pulls

and professional rodeo action, the fair offers some-

thing for just about everyone.

One word of caution: don’t look for a Jenny Craig

booth at the fair. Instead, you’ll be treated to the

mouthwatering smell of roasted hot dogs and ham-

burgers, barbeque, cotton candy, popcorn, and just

about anything that can be deep-fried.

For some, the menu alone is reason enough to

visit the fair. But the week is about so much more

than food.

So why not take a trip back in time and pencil in

some county fair time on your calendar? The fair

kicks off Sunday and continues through the follow-

ing Saturday, and ten bucks still gets you in and

covers your parking and grandstand events.

Just be sure to leave your cares — and your diet

— behind!

Great job on fest car showTo the editor,

Linda and I were at the car show on July 4, and JimPerry and his crew (whoever helped him) did a greatjob. We were glad to show our car there.

Larry and Linda SokolHope, Mich.

When I was in school – and dinosaurs roamed the earth– everyone took a class called typewriting 101. Wewrote about the quick brown fox and lazy dog using oureight fingers without hardly any effort from our thumbs.My right thumb was responsible for only one button –the space bar. My left thumb had the day off. Today kids learn keyboarding and have probably never

laid eyes on a typewriter, but the bulk of their typingisn’t done on either and typically involves nearly zerofinger participation. That’s because the hipsters amongus don’t type anymore; we text. And most pro-textersrely solely on the nimbleness and agility of their thumbsto get their messages across.

They are good at it. Thumb texters demonstrate dex-terity and speed. They can fire off messages in just afew seconds. One lucky guy even has a place in theGuinness Book of World Records for being the fastesttexter on the planet. My son competently and confident-ly texts while holding his phone in his pocket (with hiseyes closed). True talents run deep.While my phone possesses an elevated I.Q. and I have

unlimited texting available with my family plan, mythumbs are neither nimble nor agile. They seemopposed to my best texting efforts, proving themselvesclumsy and bumbling and unable to type a well-spelledword, much less an entire message. Even auto-correctthwarts my best attempts.

I am all thumbs when it comes to graceful and accu-rate text messaging. This could be a good thing, sincethumbs are required for the task, but mine are uncoordi-nated and incapable of hitting the correct key – even iftheir nails depended on it. Happily, I’ve found a way to circumvent my contextu-

al inabilities and increase the likelihood of communi-cating with my teenagers via the latest acronyms, whichis both GR8 and FAB, if you know what I mean. Themagic lies in a simple instrument called a stylus.

The little pen-like doohickey comes equipped with arubber tip that works like a finger on the touchscreen ofa smartphone – with more accuracy than my thumbscould ever hope for. My stylus makes my lumberingthumbs irrelevant and turns me into somewhat of atextpert. At least it puts me in contact with my kids.

I predict soon others may want a stylus or three fortheir very own. I say this because thumb texting comeswith risks for pain, injury and other serious ailments.There’s even an official condition called texting thumb,which is similar to tennis elbow but without the racketor balls.

Texting thumb is a repetitive stress injury that devel-ops over time. The muscles and anatomy of the thumbwere designed for gripping and work in opposition tothe rest of the hand. The fine motor skills required fortexting are taxing and can result in irritation and inflam-mation. There’s not much LOL in that.

If you haven’t yet developed stylus envy but want toavoid texting thumb, the Internet suggests you considera workout routine. For your thumb. This includesthumb massage to increase flexibility and strengthtraining using an invention called thumbbells, whichare little weights that look like dumbbells – for thethumb. The product promises to make your fattestopposable digit a lean, mean texting machine. Honestly,I couldn’t make this stuff up.

I don’t have any lofty ideas about speed texting orwhipping my thumbs into Olympic condition. Myphone may be smart, speedy and super efficient, but mythumbs never will be. I’m okay with that. Besides, I’ve

got my own brand of cool and for now I’m satisfied to besimply styling with my stylus.

When I was a young teenager, I spent a couple of weeksattending basketball camps at Northern MichiganUniversity in Marquette. On one of those occasions, I canvaguely recall my parents taking me to see the PictureRocks near Munising.

I returned to the Lake Superior sandstone cliffs over theweekend with my own family and was sweep away withnature’s beauty, which took us 6 hours to reach by car.

There are several ways to view the many dunes andwaterfalls that help make up the Michigan UpperPeninsula National Lakeshore. When I was a kid, we tookin the sights from the shoreline that offers several spec-tacular viewing decks and trails. This time, however, werented a pontoon boat and did our sightseeing from thewater.

Either way, the long drive is one I would recommend toany nature lover.

**********

On our way to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore,the Haires stopped at the Seney National Wildlife Refugea managed wetland in Schoolcraft County spanning anarea of 95,212 acres in the Upper Peninsula.While it is oriented towards maintaining living space for

211 separate species of birds including ducks, baldeagles, trumpeter swans, osprey, sandhill cranes, andcommon loons, the Refuge is also home to otters,beavers, moose, black bears and gray wolves.

However, on our visit we spotted few wild critters –mainly painted turtles - while hiking the 2 mile walkingtrail or while driving the 7 mile road that runs through thewildness area. Is the refuge worth the cost of admission? Sure, it is free

Another Upper Peninsula trip I fondly recall occur dur-ing my college days when my roommate took me to fishthe Fox River. We launched our canoe near Seney andfloated the well-known trout stream for 2 days untilreaching Germfask. We had plenty of good brook troutaction during our drift, mainly in an area known as thespreads, a section of water that offered many differentroutes, but only one path leading out.

We were told by DNR officials that there was a goodchance we would get loss in that area of the river andmight have to retract our path to return to the main sec-tion of water.

Luckily that never happened and the trip is one I wouldlike to make again.

Here’s another fish story. The Michigan Department ofNatural Resources recently announced the final totalsfrom its spring fish-stocking efforts. The DNR’s FisheriesDivision stocked a total of 19,382,390 fish that weighed383 tons and consisted of 10 different species and onehybrid. To complete this task, it took nearly 400 stockingtrips to 739 stocking sites, with drivers traveling morethan 100,000 miles over the course of 2,168 hours, using17 specialized stocking trucks.

The number and type of fish stocked vary by hatchery,as each location’s ability to rear fish varies because ofwater supplies and temperature. In Michigan, there are 6state and 2 cooperative hatcheries that work together toproduce the species, strain and size of fish needed by fish-eries managers. These fish must then be delivered at aspecific time and location for stocking to ensure their suc-cess. Each hatchery stocked the following fish this spring:

• Marquette State Fish Hatchery (near Marquette)stocked 603,381 yearling lake trout, brook trout andsplake (a cross of lake trout and brook trout) that in totalweighed 60,340 pounds. This hatchery stocked a total of103 inland and Great Lakes sites using 62 trips thatrequired driving 17,684 miles over 438 hours.

• Thompson State Fish Hatchery (near Manistique)stocked 7,784,768 fish that included walleye fry, yearlingsteelhead and brown trout, and spring fingerling Chinooksalmon. These fish weighed 125,263 pounds in total. Thishatchery stocked 89 sites (the majority located on theGreat Lakes) using 65 trips that required driving 16,072miles over 416 hours.

• Oden State Fish Hatchery (near Petoskey) stocked638,498 yearling brown trout and rainbow trout that intotal weighed 120,470 pounds. This hatchery stocked 143inland and Great Lakes sites using 74 trips that requireddriving 21,296 miles over 545 hours.

• Harrietta State Fish Hatchery (in Harrietta) stocked1,097,050 yearling brown trout and rainbow trout that intotal weighed 112,512 pounds. This hatchery stocked 301sites (the majority located inland) using 96 trips thatrequired driving 27,056 miles over 676 hours.

• Platte River State Fish Hatchery (near Honor) stocked2,518,933 fish that included yearling Atlantic salmon andcoho salmon, and spring fingerling Chinook salmon thatin total weighed 107,299 pounds. This hatchery stocked36 sites (the majority located on the Great Lakes) using36 trips that required driving 7,781 miles over 186 hours.

• Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery (near Kalamazoo)stocked 4,536,703 fish that included walleye fry, yearlingsteelhead, and spring fingerling Chinook salmon that intotal weighed 111,014 pounds. This hatchery stocked 67sites (the majority located on the Great Lakes) using 52trips that required driving 14,020 miles over 324 hours.

• The cooperative teaching hatchery at Lake SuperiorState University (in Sault Saint Marie) stocked 40,954Atlantic salmon weighing 5,795 pounds into the St.Marys River.

The restocking efforts helps to pump between $2.4 bil-lion and $4.2 billion into the state’s economy through thesportfishing industry and associated businesses.

Local meat inspectors Tom

passed under federal law. Current

Michigan standards require a state

inspector to be present in slaughter

mal is being slaughtered and

processed no matter what the facility

size. Under federal control, there

would only be inspectors at meat

plants which process meat to be sold

at retail and operate full-time, small-

er facilities only doing small custom

orders would only be inspected

every 6 months.

Some people think the automobiles

of the future will run a great deal

faster than they do now, reaching 45

miles per hour. People think they

will reach speeds of 125 to 150 miles

per hour will be more or less com-

mon.

Ideal weather, large crowd, fine

entertainment, and good food char-

acterized the Evangelical Sunday

School picnic at the county park.

Jacob Hillers’ class of boys arranged

races and contests, and a baseball

game and swimming occupied the

remainder of the afternoon for the

approximate 110 who attended.

100 YEARS AGO (1914)

The army worm has been discov-

ered in the vicinity of Pigeon and has

worked its way eastward across

Huron County., destroying 2,500

acres of crops in the communities of

Pigeon, Elkton, Bad Axe, Verona and

Harbor Beach. Farmers are instruct-

ed to plow two or three furrows

around their fields to stop the worm

from infecting their crop. Reports

stated the worm is always present in

Michigan, but the late and cold

spring was suited to its propagation.

A. Clifford Edgerton, a science

teacher at Cass City High School,

lost a toe nail and was painfully

bruised when he was thrown from

his motorcycle. The fall was caused

by a collision with an automobile on

East Main Street. Edgerton’s motor-

cycle was thrown into a ditch while

the vehicle, belonging to James

Brackenbury, suffered broken lamps

and torn spokes from a front wheel.

From July 1, 1913 to Jan. 1, 1914,

138 cars of beans, or 94,875 bushels,

were shipped from Cass City.

According to a local buyer, the ship-

ments from the last six months of the

season were heavier than the first

half, and the total number of cars of

beans shipped out for the year end-

ing July 1, 1914 would easily reach

195,937 bushels.

Cass City High School continues to

undergo a facelift of sorts via bond

dollars that are paying for a host of

improvements, including new win-

dows, new offices, a remodeled bus

garage and renovation of the central

kitchen facilities. School Supt. Ron

Wilson said R.C. Hendrick & Son,

the work. Construction and renova-

tion is also underway for Campbell

Elementary and at the middle school.

The 2008-09 All-State Senior All-

Star Volleyball Classic will be held

at Kellogg Arena in

Battle Creek. This tournament is put

together to showcase the top senior

volleyball players from across the

state and give them the final oppor-

tunity to compete with and against

the best. Seventy athletes and 30

coaches have been invited to partici-

pate, and Carly Howard of Cass City

High School has accepted the invita-

Fred and Gail Tuckey know how

fortunate they are to enjoy a com-

fortable living and provide for all of

the needs of their 3 young children.

That point was driven home on a

recent mission trip to southern

Mexico where the Cass City couple

saw first-hand how some poor fami-

lies in mountainous villages are

forced to live, and learned about

plans to construct an orphanage that

will provide shelter not only for chil-

dren, but also adults who need help.

His gardens are a healthy mix of veg-

sionally applying lime and, of

course, keeping the weeds in check.

Simple economics:

grill and save cash

Reporter’s notebook

by Tom MontgomeryEditor

Folks in my generation (and those much older, of course) will know what I’m

talking about when I reminisce about trips to the candy store as a kid.

Do you remember penny candy that actually cost a penny? Or the squeaky

wooden floors in that old dime store you frequented as a kid? How about the

unmistakable sweet smell of all those candies, all wafting together?

Penny candy was quite a bargain. Or so I thought until I came across an item

on Bankrate.com. Now I’m not so sure.

The story, penned by Stacy Jones and entitled “The cost of summer fun

through the years”, relates how prices from yesteryear always seem like they

were much lower than what we pay today – month-long cruises for a couple

hundred bucks, luxury hotel rooms for less than $20, and so on.

Heck, most kids today probably never even heard of a “dime store”, but you

can bet they know all about “dollar stores”.

Anyway, those “low” prices of the past aren’t always so economical when

adjusted for inflation (AFI), according to Jones’ research.

Take America’s favorite pastime — baseball — for example. According to

the article, a baseball glove cost around $4.20 back in the 1920s, compared to

$30 in 2014. Adjust the figure to include inflation and that glove back in the

1920s cost more like $59.48.

The same goes for a Louisville Slugger. It cost $2 bucks in the old days, but

the estimated cost is $27.82 when adjusted for inflation, compared to today’s

price of roughly $40. Still a bargain, unlike the baseball that cost $1.39 in the

1920s, but was more like $19 after inflation, compared to $7 today.

There’s good new for the outdoor grillers among us; hamburger that cost just

24 cents a pound back in 1935 translates into a whopping $4.17 a pound today

once you toss in inflation (the going rate for burger was $3.55 a pound when

this article was published). And, ketchup was 77 percent more expensive in

1905 compared to today.

The story also addresses yard chores. The list price for a mower in 1924 was

somewhere around $18, but the price jumps to $250.42 with inflation. A com-

parable mower costs about $300 today, according to the story.

Of course, the lesson here is crystal clear, guys. Put off that lawnmower pur-

chase for a few weeks, buy a new grill and save tons of money by stocking up

on burger and ketchup.

Now that’s what I call smart economics.

Leo Essenmacher knows the value of a county fair to the community.The Harbor Beach native often does a lot of business in Cass City and

commented that, in his time traveling between the two counties, he hasnoticed that communities don’t come together better than when they havesomething to enjoy as one.

For many, this community activity is the county fair. Essenmacher himself loves going to the fair to see the animals, and has

been to the Huron County fair several times during his lifetime.“I like looking at the animals at

the fair,” he said. “I don’t care forthe tractor pulls since I’ve livedon a farm my whole life and I’veseen enough of that,” he added,laughing.

Regardless of the community hefeels he has ties to, whetherHarbor Beach or Cass City,Essenbacher’s view is the same;he believes fairs help to fosterfamily values and allow everyonea chance for family fun during thesummer, as well as teaching chil-dren participating in the fair asense of responsibility.

“I think it is good for the youngkids,” he said. “It gives them incentive to work towards something andhelps teach them responsibility.”

“The vehicle then rolled overnumerous times, ending up in theroadway,” Skrent said. “Both thedriver and passenger were ejectedfrom the vehicle. FlightCareresponded to transport one of thevictims and MMR transported theother.”

The names of the occupants werenot released by investigators, whosaid they believe speed and alcoholwere both factors in the accident.“The details of the crash are stillbeing investigated and no otherinformation is available at this time,”Skrent added.

FATAL CRASH

A Silverwood man was killed andhis passenger critically injured in a

one-vehicle accident reported July12 on South Hurds Corner Road nearEast Bevens Road in WellsTownship, troopers from theMichigan State Police post in Caroreported.

The victim was identified as MarkA. DeVine, 48.

Troopers dispatched to the scenearrived to find the driver of the vehi-cle had been ejected and the passen-ger had been partially ejected fromthe vehicle, according to reports,which state witnesses and a trooperperformed CPR on DeVine, but wereunsuccessful in reviving him.

The passenger, identified as BrianEnos, 45, of Caro, was transported toSt. Mary’s Medical Center inSaginaw by MMR Ambulance.

Troopers said neither occupant waswearing a seatbelt and alcohol is sus-pected to have been a factor in thecrash.

The Tuscola County Sheriff’sDepartment, Mayville Ambulance,

MMR Ambulance, Caro FireDepartment and a DNR officer allassisted troopers at the scene.

Also recently, Sanilac CountySheriff’s deputies reported amotorist suffered non-life threaten-ing injuries in a one-vehicle accidentin Sanilac County’s ArgyleTownship.

Sgt. Brad Siemen said the crashoccurred Saturday morning onArgyle Road near Wheatland Road.

“According to deputies, a 2002Chevrolet Prizm driven by 19-year-old Alicia Hanks of Lexington wastraveling eastbound on Argyle Roadand lost control on the gravel por-tion, causing her to enter the southside ditch and roll over severaltimes,” Siemen said. “Hanks wastreated at the scene by Argyle Fireand Rescue and Sanilac EMS andwas later transported to DeckervilleHospital.”

Hanks was wearing a seatbelt,Siemen noted.

Hanson noted the suspect made nothreats toward the deputies, and noone was injured. His weapons were

confiscated and his truck has beenimpounded.

total value of $33,837,300, whileTuscola County saw a total value of$38,252,000. Huron County’s totalproduction was 2,583,000 bushelsand Tuscola County’s total produc-tion was 2,920,000 bushels.

The 2013 total value of wheat inHuron County was $35,918,700 andin Tuscola County it was$19,751,600. The value per bushelfor both counties was $6.70.

Battel said that if the weatherremains wet, there are some con-cerns about wheat, because toomuch moisture can cause the grainto sprout before harvesting.

“Right now it appears the rain isearly enough that we are not con-cerned about sprouts,” he said.

Overall, despite the rainy weather,Battel says the crops are lookinggood and the region’s producersshould enjoy a timely harvest.

“Crop progress is doing well,despite the late planting,” he said.

“In about six weeks we should havean idea for yields.”

also helped many organizations frombeing a cheerleader on the sidelinesat Pinktober, for example, to beingon the front lines helping place flagsat the cemetery to honor our fallenveterans on Memorial Day,” shesaid.

“I will be helping build a bridgebetween the Jewish and Christiancommunities of Las Vegas,” Perrysaid.

Perry added that the organizationwill also be working toward support-ing the State of Israel, explainingthat he hopes that as part of thisinternship he can help bridge the gapbetween the Jewish and Christianpeople and ease rising tensions.

He explained that one of the waysthat he, as part of the Friends ofIsrael, will support the State of Israelis by volunteering at a Holocaustlibrary, as well as volunteering atsynagogues in the city and helping topresent the feasts of Israel.

“I unfortunately have realized thatanti-Semitism is on the rise, espe-cially on college campuses, and I

Continued from page one. hope to show through my actionsthat Jewish people have friends andsupporters in the Christian commu-nity,” he said.

The internship, which will lastthrough the end of May 2015, willgive Perry firsthand experience inwork projects, Bible studies, websitecreation, writing ‘good news’brochures and distributing Hebrewscriptures.

Perry will join five other internsfrom all over the country to helpspread the message and work ofFriends of Israel.

He originally became interested inthe organization after traveling toIsrael with FOI in 2012, as part ofthe Our Resolve Is Giving IsraelNever-Ending Support team.

“It helped me realize that this is mycalling,” he said.

Perry is excited about this the newopportunity and is anticipating posi-tive things during his upcoming out-reach.

“I’m looking forward to going outof my comfort zone,” he said.“Going from Cass City to any largercity will have a lot of challenges, andI think it will be interesting to meet

those challenges and conquer them.”Perry has already had the chance to

do some traveling.In June 2011 he spent two weeks in

Uganda, Africa, working with anorphanage ministry where he alsowrote a winning essay that earnedhim the chance to travel with FOI toIsrael in 2012.

Locally, Perry has worked for fiveyears at Rawson Memorial DistrictLibrary. He’s been involved in manycommunity projects around town,including helping to organizer theElkland Township Cemetery Walk,the Christmas parade and the CassCity Freedom Festival GrandParade, as well as being active incommunity organizations such as theCass City Area Historical Societyand Tuscola County Right to Life.

And while he’s excited to begin hisinternship, there are many things hewill miss about Cass City.

“Cass City has been my home for23 years,” he said. “I’ve done sometraveling and I’ve never found anyplace like it. I’m going to missknowing everybody and I’m going tomiss being in a small town.”

among those who personally wished Perry good

luck on his upcoming internship.

THE HOUSE was full as a host of residents in the Cass City community

attended Tyler Perry’s farewell at Rawson Memorial District Library. Perry

will leave next month for an internship with The Friends of Israel. His work

will involve “building bridges” between the Christian and Jewish communi-

ties in the Las Vegas area.

road.”Peters said the club decided to use

some grants available through theirorganization to fix up the park andmake it a more community-friendlyplace.

“We decided to use some of ourmoney and some of the RotaryInternational’s money to completethe construction,” she added. They achieved the goal by applying

for a grant, called a district grant,which has a stipulation that themoney must be used for the well-being or improvement of the localclub’s community, including forhumanitarian projects and scholar-ships, among other options.

Peters explained that the grantmatched the club’s money that theyhad available for the project for up to$5,000.

“When we donate money, part of itcomes back to us in the form ofgrants,” Peters noted.

Cass City Rotary Club setto complete improvementsat Rotary Park in village

She pointed out club members usedthe funding to add a fence along thefront of the park with an arch thatreads Cass City and the RotaryInternational symbol, as well asstamped concrete in the circularwalkway that runs through the park.

While the fencing has been com-pleted, the stamped concrete is stillin progress but should be completedsoon.

“We have talked about addinganother fence along the back of thepark facing the parking lot, but fornow we’re just sticking to the fencealong the front,” Peters said.

She added that some localRotarians, in a way, helped financethe park.

The late Ben Hobart, GeraldPrieskorn and Tom Proctor, all pastmembers of the Cass City RotaryClub, left money to the club that par-tially helped finance the project, inaddition to the district grant andexisting club money.

RECENT IMPROVEMENTS to Rotary Park were

financed through club funds, as well as local

Rotarian memorial funds and a district grant.

Stamped concrete will be added to the inside of the

park soon.

Streiter’s hay farm near Bay Port.

Campaign trail brings governor toThumb to visit farming operations

Gov. Rick Snyder’s campaign trailtook him to a pair of farms inMichigan’s Thumb last Wednesday,when he reiterated his commitmentto the state’s food and farm sector.

The appearances were scheduledfor Snyder to launch of his reelectionbid’s “Farmers for Rick” socialmedia campaign.Snyder stopped first at the 300-head

dairy farm that’s home to MichiganFarm Bureau (MFB) PresidentWayne H. Wood. Currently run byWood, his brother and their sons, thefarm outside Marlette in southwest-ern Sanilac County has been in thefamily more than a century.

“Too many Michiganians werestarting to believe our best days werebehind us—that we were falling

behind,” Snyder said. “But there wasalways one shining light—agricul-ture.”

Counting the food and farm sectoras among Michigan’s “big three”industries, Snyder lauded its role inhelping buoy the state through therecent recession.

“Now Michigan is the comebackstate. Let’s keep going withprogress,” Snyder said. “Our work isnot done.”

Snyder pointed to three key areaswhere the industry must keep thepedal to the metal: research anddevelopment, value-added process-ing and export growth.

MFB’s political action committee,AgriPac, offered the incumbent gov-ernor its Friend of Agricultureendorsement back in April—an

unprecedented move for the farmorganization, which Wood admitted“doesn’t always move too fast.”

Snyder has been keenly in tune withagriculture’s challenges and opportu-nities since he took office,” Woodsaid, citing ag-friendly measuressuch as the codification of theMichigan Agriculture EnvironmentalAssurance Program and the recentmove to increase flexibility withinthe Michigan Merit Curriculum,allowing students more opportunityto pursue career-technical education.

After his brief comments and min-gling with the 120 Thumb denizensin attendance, the Snyder campheaded north for a second appear-ance at John Streiter’s hay farm nearBay Port in western Huron County.
