Special to The Clarkston News
The school district's preliminary student count is down 100 compared to last
year. The decrease means about $751,100
less in state per-pupil funding, which was
expected and budgeted, said Deputy Superintendent Shawn Ryan.
The decrease will be offset by state
per-pupil funding increases of $120 this
year. With about 8,000 students enrolled,
the increase would add about $960,000.
Last year's per pupil allowance was $7,391.
This year, the state provides $7,511 per
student, he said.
Clarkston School Board President
Steve Hyer said this years school budget
is progressing and on track, and he expects future enrollment to increase, which
will create a better outlook for the district.
We will continue to monitor this
closely as we go through our budget
amendment process to be as accurate as
possible with our projections," Hyer said.
"The board of education wants to prioritize funding to end up in the classroom
and with the students as much as possible, and we have a very successful track
record of doing that.
Hyer and Ryan said the district is moving forward. In the last two years the

This is Sarahs Story


Im a busy business owner and like most, I live a very
busy life, and let my health be placed in last priority. As a
result, I tipped the scales at over 200 pounds. Ive worked
out with personal trainers for years, and have been on
every diet in the books! I have lost weight over the past
10 years, but it was not uncommon for me to plateau.
My personal trainer recommended seeing Cindy at
Nuview Nutrition to find the missing piece of the puzzle
to break the plateau which included nutrition,
supplements, and and a personalized program for me!
I finally broke the plateau and feel better than ever
being 65 pounds lighter! Nuview Nutrition
changed my life, and I am so grateful!

Discussion pending on parking study


City Council has not yet discussed a parking study given to the city by the Traffic
Improvement Association of Michigan on
Sept. 13, and it was not on the councils meeting agenda for Oct. 10.
The city is projected to be short 26 parking spaces when the Union Joints Honchos
restaurant and the restaurant in the former
Clarkston State Bank opens. Construction on
Honchos is in its final stages, and work on
the former bank continues steadily.
TIA recommendations include creating
new parking spaces, working with private lot
owners for more access, offsite parking, using shuttle or valet service, and further study
once changes are made.
A parking inventory earlier this year
counted 394 parking spaces in public and
private lots available for use by the public at
least after normal business hours, not including those on East Washington Street and East
Church Street.
Three lots, Health Quest, Creekside Salon, and the lot across Depot Road from City
Hall, do not allow public usage after their
normal business hours. With the gated closing of one parking lot, 56 spaces, on Depot
Street after June 30, it is calculated that between 82.7 and 87.9 percent of the spaces are

used. The two new restaurants will require


an additional 192 parking spaces, pushing
usage over 100 percent.
The new Union Joints restaurant includes
seating for 95 patrons inside and 20 outside.
The estimated parking requirement is for 69
vehicles, based on the ordinance requirement
of 0.6 spaces per seat ratio. The site plan
shows six proposed on-street parking spaces
on Church and Main streets.
The restaurant plan in the former bank includes seating for 114 on the main floor, 71
on the lower level, and 20 outside. Estimated
parking requirement is 123 vehicles, using
0.6 spaces per seat.
City Council granted parking waivers to
the restaurants when they were approved last
year, under ordinance Section 20.02U, General Requirements, Parking Space Deferment.
Exemptions are granted if the applicant can
demonstrate and the Planning Commission
finds that adequate public parking is provided
within a reasonable walking distance from
the subject site. The Parking Space Deferment District includes downtown Main Street
from just north of Washington Street to
Waldon Road, including the Clarkston Mills
on W. Washington Street.

Work on Clarkston Road from


Clearview to east of Lakeview Road in
Independence Township was set to start
this week.
Road Commission for Oakland County
is applying high-friction surface
treatment on two curves on Clarkston
Road, between Clearview Street and Eston
Road. The epoxy and gravel mix is
intended to provide better traction.
It provides a coarse, sandpaper-like
surface designed to improve friction and
reduce the likelihood of vehicles running
off the road. The process will begin with
cleaning new asphalt placed on the road
over the summer. An epoxy will then be
applied followed by the application of
small, coarse gravel to the roads surface.
The project cost is $210,000, funded
by RCOC and done by Smiths Waterproofing of Almont, Mich.
The road will remain open to traffic,
and flaggers will direct motorists through
the work zone areas. The project is expected to be finished by Oct. 21.

Everest honored
Everest Collegiate High School and Academy
was awarded 2016 National Blue Ribbon School
Honors. The announcement was made on Sept. 28.
Everest is the only private school in the state to
receive the Recognized as an Exemplary High
Performing School award.
"This award is a direct reflection of the
dedication of our faculty and students to academic
and institutional excellence," said Greg Reichert,
principal of Everest Collegiate High and Middle
Schools. "I could not be more pleased to see their
tireless efforts honored through the receipt of the
Blue Ribbon Schools Award.
The individualized attention we strive for as a
school is evident throughout our institution. We
have put in place programs at all levels beginning
with preschool programming and continuing all the
way up to our specialized AP offerings in high
school. We are accomplishing amazing things here,
but we recognize it is not through our faculty and
staff s efforts alone that it happens. Our
achievements would not be possible without the
students, parents, and most importantly our
acknowledgment of Gods hand in it all, said Susan
Ender, the principal of Everest Academys
Elementary School.
Reichert and Ender will represent Everest
Collegiate High School and Academy in Washington
D.C. on Nov. 7-8, when the school will be formally
recognized for its achievement at an awards
ceremony hosted by the U.S. Department of
Education.

Everest students, here at the end-of-year award ceremony in June, helped earn the school national honors.

Thrills and chills

For those who have just a moment to


catch up for Clarkston athletics, it was a
busy week for the Wolves.
I will begin with boys tennis and girls
golf which both qualified for state finals
during their regional meets on Thursday.
Good luck to both teams! We look forward to seeing how you finish the season.
The Lady Wolves on varsity volleyball avenged their loss to Lake Orion a
few weeks ago by beating them in the semifinals at the Marian Elite
tournament - which
Clarkston finished as
champions.
Soccer plays their
last regular season
games this week and will
play Rochester Adams
in the first round of district playoffs on
Monday. But before they do they are
hosting the Soccer Special Olympics
game on Sunday at 6 p.m., which was
postponed due to weather.
For Friday night, I am curious how
many had their hairs turn gray or lost a
few strands in the gridiron heroes first
half against West Bloomfield when they
were behind 21-0.
But what a come back - a 42-point
streak to win the game. It was thrilling to
be on the sidelines as the boys celebrated
with high fives and hugs.
The atmosphere is always great at a
Clarkston game, especially on Friday
nights. The stands are full of excited fans.
The Jungle, student section, is enthusiastic and usually has a theme. Last Friday it was pink, most head to toe, for
October's Breast Cancer Awareness
Month.
Last home game on Friday, Oct. 21
against Adams, which means one more
opportunity to not only watch the game
but cheer on the cheerleaders, dance
team and see the band's half time show
while enjoying a hot dog and the best
popcorn of Oakland County and conversations with other Wolves' fans.
As for my tiny 10-month-old Wolves'
fan, he can carry on a conversation but
in infant speak. He continues to grow in
height and strength and has no problem
climbing into things. He takes a few minutes to figure out how to get out but he
does figure it out. (All infants probably
do for first time mommy proud moments.)
It's fun to imagine the possibilities of
who he will grow up to be when he kicks
a ball or relaxs to music.

Candidate looks to improve communications


Dear Editor,
My name is Sue Wylie, and I am running
for Clarkston City Council.
I vividly remember the snowy day in
March of 1987 when I drove down Main
Street into the Village of Clarkston for the
first time and immediately decided to make
this town my home.
I was attracted first by the beautiful
homes, and then by the sleepy business
district. For seven years after that drive I
lived within a half-mile of the village, until I
moved into our charming and historic town
in 1994. Like most new and established
residents, I am proud to declare Clarkston is
my home!
More recently, I have teamed up with Rick
Detkowski to run for two city council seats,
because we share the same goals of wanting
to be of service to Clarkston, and to help
find solutions to our community challenges.
We are all neighbors in a small town, and
Rick and I are working to promote a positive
culture in Clarkston.
I believe all of us in Clarkston can
enhance our wonderful community, and we
can do that by working together to find
solutions to overcome obstacles.

I am on the city Communications


Committee, and Rick and I would both like to
see improved communications from city
officials and residents, and greater
transparency from the city.
Rick and I would also like to see greater
productivity in the city. Greater productivity
means an efficient government that provides
the government services that residents and
businesses require.
This has to occur by seeking other
sources of revenue and without increasing
our taxes. We understand growth in the city
must be balanced with the historic and
residential nature of the city, but we also
understand a lot of growth has already
occurred and must be dealt with.
Businesses and residents are currently
dealing with the growth as city parking
becomes a bigger problem. By listening to
residents and businesses and working
together, our city can find feasible solutions.
Rick and I ask for your support and vote
on Nov. 8. For more information about our
campaigns, you can find us on Facebook at
Detkowski/Wylie for City Council.

Thanks for quick action, help from neighbors


Dear Editor,
Last Thursday evening, my wife, who has
dementia, became anxious and confused and
unknown to me wandered away from home.
Many thanks to Jennifer, Colt, and Doug
Stacer, our neighbors, for their quick thinking and action.
Jennifer observed her walking away from
home and realized "this didn't look right" so
she contacted 911. Doug and Colt then had
the presence of mind to go follow her and
make sure she was OK.
When she stumbled and fell on the shoul-

der of the road, Doug and Colt were there to


help and comforted her until the EMS and
Oakland County sheriff's deputies arrived to
take over.
Their response was quick and their actions very complete and professional. A sincere thank you to all involved.
Thanks again to Jennifer, Colt, and Doug
because their actions may have prevented
an unfortunate incident from becoming a disaster.

Community support for buses appreciated


Dear Editor,
On behalf of the Independence Township
Senior Community Center and the entire
Bucks for Buses Planning Committee, we
would like to thank you for your support of
our annual Bucks for Buses transportation
fund raiser on Sept. 21 at Overtyme Grille
and Taproom.
Over 150 guests attended our Made in
Michigan themed evening, which included
live entertainment by Terry and Anna
Stevenson, dancing, raffle baskets, wine
tasting and a photo booth!
Everyone had a great time. Together we
raised over $12,000 to support senior and
disabled transportation in our community.
We could not have achieved this without
your donation!
We sincerely appreciate your Platinum

Level Media donation to support our


transportation program, which serves
seniors 55 and over, disabled, and special
needs travelers in Independence Township,
Springfield Township, and the City of the
Village of Clarkston.
Our transportation program provides an
invaluable service to our community and we
thank you for your continued support. In
appreciation, we included your business
logo on our sponsor recognition
presentation that evening, in our event
program, and well include your name in our
next Recreation Guide. Weve also included
an ad in the Sept. 28 issue of The Clarkston
News.
Thank you again for your support!

Reliving our chivaree, you shoulda been there


These Jottings first appeared on
Oct. 10, 2012.
While eliminating stuff from my file
cabinet I ran across a Jottings I wrote
in 1964 headlined, Our chivaree.
Youre gonna love it.
Firstly, I wasnt sure then, nor now,
how to spell that word. Back then, I
asked three reporters how to spell it. I
also asked two librarians to check it.
This time I went to my computer
friend, Irene, for the correct spelling.
There is none. The French spelled it
charivari the Canadians adopted that
but Americans went for chivaree.
Who cares?
Return with me back to those exciting days of yesteryear, to October 1949.
Hazel and I returned from our honeymoon to our rental home in Lennon, her
home town, on the Genesee-Shiawassee
county line, west of Flint.

On the first Saturday night in November some of Hazels old friends decided to drop in. They had surrounded
the house and awakened us from all directions. They banged
Jims
on doors, fired shotguns,
Jottings
whooped and hollered.
It was 1 a.m.
We were encouraged
to put on pajamas, ushered outside where a
horse drawn rig was
waiting and taken to a
pub a couple blocks
away.
We were going to be
a column by
initiated
into a club the
Jim Sherman
friends had made up.
Some stayed back to put corn flakes in
our bed and Oxydol in the towel closet.
The pub doors were locked and our
private party and initiation got underway.

Hazel and I were blindfolded and we


were walked through the front door,
down a route to the kitchen and I was
told to put my hand out through he window to the alley.
They demanded I pet the horse on
the rear, as I was encouraged to take a
sip of some awful smelling liquid (vinegar and pickle juice.)
Then they took my hand and shoved
it into a warm, gooey something (which
was really a hot dog bun dipped in warm
water). I think the horse must have
smiled. The audience roared at my reactions
- - - 0 - - I first learned of chivarees while reading cowboy novels. They are referred
to as unifying rituals. Neighbors would
get together and plan gatherings without newcomer knowledge to get acquainted.

The best one noted in Canadian history was in 1683 when a widow of three
weeks remarried and people conducted
a loud and strident charivari against the
newlyweds at their home.
One other trick of chivariers was to
have the bride and groom transported
around the courthouse in a wheel barrow.
Strings of tin cans tied to cars have
long been an American trick, as is putting nuts and bolts in hubcaps, Limburger
cheese in heaters and sticking potatoes
over exhaust pipes.
Those last two are brother-in-law
Ronalds favorites.
Irenes dictionary described a chivaee
as a noisy, mock-serenade to newlyweds.
Until I ran across my 1964 Jottings, I
hadnt seen or used the word since December 20, 1964.

I discovered newspaper diversity & was tagged Womb Googler


Because I am ever Donny on The Spot, in front of
new trends and breaking news and since last week was
National Newspaper Week (ahem), I thought I should
bring up the rear with some titillating insights and spoton commentary (if I do says so myself, and I do I am
on-fleek).
On weekends I like to buy both the Saturday editions of The Detroit News and The Detroit Free Press. I
find it enjoyable to belly up to a counter, order a pop
(Coke or Pepsi whatever is served),
eat a hamburger and read the papers. Dont
I wasnt sure why I enjoyed reading Rush Me
newspapers -- or never put any energy into pondering why I enjoy reading newspapers. But, this past Saturday, a bell went off between my ears.
Harmonic angels flittered about me as
fireworks exploded somewhere in the
distance.
In an inky glory, it came to me!
I read the front page of The News, A column by
about Hurricane Matthew, about Don Rush
Trumps vulgar remarks, fall color
tours . . . but it wasnt until I read the inside pages of
the A Section, that ideas formed, and dots started to
connect themselves. I read of the two 18-year-old girls
who were being jailed with $10,000 bond because they
donned clown masked, jumped out of a car screaming
and chasing two 14-year-old girls. Roseville coppers
called the clown-faced lasses morons and idiots.
I read about former pro-boxer Oscar De La Hoya
reading his book to a bunch of students in Detroit; about
seven fired teachers awarded $106,000 for being
wrongfully terminated; about scientists x-raying the

limbs of a T-rex to see how those dinosaurs used their


forelimbs.
I read and thought interesting a story with this headline, More in U.S. were in search for work and this
subhead, Sept. jobs report from govt pains picture of
resilient economy. What I thought was interesting, is
how both the Republican and Democrat running for United
States President, played up the report. The same report
was awesome to one candidate and showed how bad
things were to the other.
Without thinking, I whipped out my handy-dandy ink
pen and started marking up the newspaper and writing
notes. I put a box around the lead paragraph on this story,
Sanders and Morley Candy makers are closing their Birmingham Sanders store because of a lack of nearby parking, among other concerns. . . Wrote I in the margin,
Clarkston? How many businesses will be forced to close
because city refused to believe there was a parking issue
in town?
This headline caught my eye, Ford touts a driverless sea change. The story went on about new Federal
guidelines for driverless cars and how Ford says, it will
have a fully driverless care by 2021.
A new trend I read about caused me to write NO!
across the headline, Asian animal cafes are a bit wild
. . . Cafe customers sip lattes while petting snakes and
raccoons. Why my no, read on: . . . visitors pay
about $11 for a cup of coffee and a reptile to wind around
their arm; a plate of curry bread snacks or a really big
snake costs extra . . .
But the story that really caused my pen to go wild on
the newsprint and my imagination to spark was this, Boy
born in uterus passed from mother to daughter thriving.
What? Science is awesome. Science is not science fic-

tion anymore as illustrated by this story of a Swedish


family. The uterus from a woman was transplanted in
her daughter, who then was able to conceive a baby - who is now two years old. Amazing!
And, it caused me to think and blurt out loud to a
waitress passing by, I would have never have read
about this story reading news on-line. My days of
googling wombs is over. This of course caused the
young ladys eye brows to arch in confusion. With a
figurative intellectual backstroke maneuver, I explained
the gist of the story, adding, When I was a younger
man, and helping making babies I tried to learn as much
as I could about a womans body and the babies and
womb . . .
I think it was a futile effort and just like Donald
Trump, I should learn to keep my mouth closed.
Whenever I see your face, the waitress said, you
will now be The Womb Googler.
So, I got that going for me.
The whole point of this column is this: In todays
society, with gobs and gobs of information and news
available to us via the internet, I think we are becoming
intellectually un-diverse and vanilla.
Our internet newsfeeds are set to just the things we
are interested in -- we only read one-sided information, the side we like. We are not as well-rounded as
we pretend to be.
What I stumble across while reading a newspaper,
in print with a finite amount of space, are stories I
would not normally lookup on my own. And, by reading these other stories, my mind is expanded and my
curiosity grows. Reading all sorts of stuff adds complexity, color and texture to our lives.
So, dont be intellectually lazy. Read newspapers!

TAL

ORTHODONTICS

Q: My gums always bleed when I brush or floss.


Does that mean I am brushing too hard?
A: In most cases this is not a matter of an improper brushing or flossing technique.

Usually it is a sign that there is problem with your gums such as generalized inflammation
(called gingivitis). If the inflammation remains untreated it can lead to widespread
periodontal (gum) disease throughout your mouth. If you notice bleeding occurring in only
one isolated area, you will need to discuss that specifically with your dentist. This may be
the result of a gap between two teeth which creates a constant food trap. If that is the
case, the space likely needs to be closed by your dentist. Any bleeding of your gums is not
normal. Seeing your dentist and hygienist regularly will help prevent these types of
unhealthy situations.

Q. Can I have braces if I have missing teeth or crowns and bridges?


A. YES. A tooth with a crown or any type of restoration can be moved

just like any other tooth, as long as its root(s) and surrounding tissues are
healthy. When there are missing teeth, orthodontics can improve the
alignment of the remaining teeth and may make possible better tooth
replacement options for your dentist. In certain cases where one or many
teeth are missing, orthodontics can partially or completely close the spaces
left by these teeth. This can reduce or eliminate tooth replacement costs
for the patient after orthodontics.

Why do you need an umbrella policy?

Walt Renn

When something really awful happens, like you severely injure or kill somebody in a car
accident, you want to make sure that your assets are protected. There is a good chance
that your basic auto policy will not provide the amount of liability protection that you
need, and an umbrella policy is where you would find that additional protection.

Crossing the line


A 34-year-old Cassopolis man was
stopped after being observed crossing the
center line numerous times on Sashabaw
Road at Pine Knob Road, 6:43 p.m., Sept. 27.
He said he was looking at his prescription,
which he had just picked up at the pharmacy.
The license plate on his car was registered
to an SUV owned by the driver. He said he
switched plates after blowing the engine on
the SUV. He was cited for improper plates.

Traffic vigilante

A 38-year-old Independence Township


man pursued a Jeep through the Oakhurst
neighborhood for running a stop sign, 6:25
p.m., Oct. 1. He said he wanted to take a
picture of the license plate. When he caught
up to the Jeep, both drivers got out of their
vehicles. During the altercation, the older
man hit the teen in the face. Neither
sustained any injuries. Both said they
wanted to document the incident.

Defective lights

A deputy on patrol stopped a vehicle with


taillights out, 3:59 a.m., Oct. 7, on Ortonville
Road at I-75. The driver, a 19-year-old
Ortonville man, was cited for defective lights
and no drivers license, never applied.

Minor with alcohol


A 17-year-old Traverse City boy was cited
for minor in possession of alcohol at a
gathering in the 4000 block of Highland Court
after the Homecoming dance, 12:43 a.m., Oct.
2. A resident said her daughter had some
friends over, the 17-year-old had drunk about
a fifth of alcohol, and was highly intoxicated
and combative. She didnt know where he
got the alcohol. No other teenagers were
intoxicated. He was taken to St. Josephs
Hospital, and his father was informed.

Found with warrants

A deputy on patrol stopped a van with


an expired registration sticker, 10:04 a.m., Oct.
5, on White Lake Road at Village Park Drive.
A records check showed the vans
registration was actually up to date. The
driver, a 20-year-old Fenton man, never
applied for a drivers license, however, and
was cited for driving without a license and
no proof of insurance. He also had a warrant
from the state of Indiana for theft, but it was

good in Indiana only. A passenger, a 42-yearold Holly man, was found with warrants out
of Grand Blanc and Bay City. Both agencies
said to advise and release on the warrants.
The van was impounded.

Schools clown free

Rogue clowns reportedly inspired by the


internet are causing mischief around the
country, including a lockdown in Muskegon,
but Clarkston seems to be spared so far this
Halloween season. "At this time, there have
been no such sightings reported at any of
our school buildings, nor have any
lockdowns occurred because of a sighting,"
according to Clarkston Community Schools .
"Parents and students are reminded to always use due care and caution and to let
building administrators know if any suspicious person or activity is observed." Call

Wolves go on 42-point run in league win


BY WENDI REARDON PRICE
Clarkston News Sports Writer
Gridiron heroes celebrated as they gave
each other hugs and high fives on the sidelines
at Clarkston High School stadium last Friday.
In less than five minutes the Wolves
answered West Bloomfields 21-0 lead with
their own 21 points to tie the score with 25
seconds remaining in the first half and added
21 more points in the third quarter to win.
West Bloomfield threw a few nice passes
and we werent in sync, said Kurt
Richardson, long time head coach for
Clarkston Varsity Football. I have to hand it
to the kids - down 21-0 and come back to
score 42 straight points - that showed
something about these kids character.
I was happy we finally got back on our
game, said senior Ryan Prisby. We started
rough like last week. This time we were able
to turn it around for us.
The scoring started with 4:46 remaining in

the second half when quarterback JT King


connected a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ryan
Prisby.
Two minutes later King connected another
pass to Prisby, who finished the 29-yard play
on the 8-yard line.
King handed the ball to Michael Fluegel in
the next play, who ran up the middle for the
second touchdown for the night.
The Lakers started their play on the 15yard line in Clarkstons territory. Fluegel,
Prisby and Nick Stalworth stopped them from
gaining ground in four plays giving the
possession back to the Wolves.
King passed the ball to Tyler Retford and
Prisby to get the boys five yards from the end
zone.
With 25 seconds left Fluegel ran a 5-yard
touchdown run and with a 2-point conversion
from King, the Wolves tied the score.
The Wolves scored three more times in
the third quarter with a 27-yard touchdown

pass to Kyle Genter; and a 58-yard and 1yard touchdown runs, both from Fluegel.
King went 11-for-16 in passing for 190
yards with three touchdown passes.
JT had another great game, said
Richardson.
Prisby, who was unable to walk the day
before due to his hips being out of place, was
the leading receiver as he caught four passes
for 85 yards.
It felt good, he said about helping his
team on both sides of the ball. When I was
out there my adrenaline was going. I kept
going and it felt good.
Fluegel was the leading rusher and carried
the ball 18 times for 126 yards and three
touchdowns. Kicker Zach Mansour was 4for-5 in PATs.
Gino Paese led defense with seven tackles
and one assist. Jake Buchmann, Zach Scott
and Genter had five tackles each. Buchmann

Senior Meghan Deardorff had one wish
for her final year with Clarkston Girls Varsity
Golf - she wanted her entire team to go
MHSAA Girls Golf State Finals.
Deardorff qualified last year as an
individual and wanted to share the experience
with her team.
I know they would enjoy it, she said at
the beginning of the year. And I would
enjoy having them.
Her wish came true, smiled Lezlie
Hallman, head coach.
The Lady Wolves qualified for the finals

with a third place finish at the regional


tournament last Thursday at Westwynd
Golf Club with a 367.
It was awesome, said Hallman. They
were bound and determined.
Their improvement from last season to
this season was noticed by opposing
coaches.
I had other coaches tell me I cant
believe where you came from last year to
this year. Its totally awesome. You should
be proud of the girls, Hallman shared. Oh,
yes I am. I am their biggest fan.
Deardorff led the team with a par of 85.

Champions of Marian Elite tournament


BY WENDI REARDON PRICE
Clarkston News Sports Writer
Lady Hitters dominated the court on
Saturday as they defeated five teams to
become champions of the Marian Elite
Volleyball tournament.
"I felt like we were in a slump and not
performing up to our best potential,"
admitted Kelly Pinner, Clarkston Varsity
Volleyball Head Coach. "Saturday they
turned it around."
The tournament had eight teams which
are state-ranked or have an honorable
mention. They started off with pool play with
a loss to North Branch and wins over Anchor
Bay and Marian.
They moved on to the quarterfinals where
they defeated Birmingham Seaholm before
going on to face Lake Orion semifinals, who
they lost to at the end of September, 3-2.
This time they beat their rivals, 25-16, 25-20.
"It's definitely something that's going to
help us moving forward knowing that this is
a team we can beat," Pinner said. "We know
we will face them in districts if we get past
the first round though Oxford is going to
be tough. It definitely gives us some
confidence moving forward."
The girls beat Marian for a second time
to win the championship game, 25-20, 30-28.

The Clarkston Varsity Volleyball celebrates winning the Marian Elite Volleyball tournament on Saturday. Photo provided
"It was a great tournament," said Pinner.
"It was a great win," Pinner said. "Oxford
Junior Abbey Malinowski had 63 kills, is a really great team. They were really
four aces and six blocks during the scrappy on defense and I think maybe we
tournament. Senior Sarah Austin had 39 kills werent expecting that."
and six aces and junior Kayla Luchenbach
Each game was close for the two teams

Grace Kraft the girls were able to pull ahead


and build distance in points.
They battled for the final point. Austin
and Luchenbach hit it over the net and
Oxford quickly blocked them from getting a
point. The next touch came from Austin and
the hit fell into the middle of the court for
Clarkston's final point.
Oxford won the next game by three points,
25-22,
The third game started with both teams
points within each other. A spark fired in
the Wolves when Oxford received a point
from a referee's call after Madi Jidas made
a defensive play.
"She picked up the ball six inches off
the ground. It wasnt even a pancake.
Everyone in the gym thought it was a great
defensive play," said Pinner.
Clarkston answered back with a swing
from Austin and winning the point back.
"It did spark us the entire game," said
Pinner, about the 25-13 win in the third
game.
The Lady Wolves finished taking the
fourth game, 25-20. Malinowski had 20 kills,
Austin had 14 kills and Jidas had 32 digs.
"Abbey had some great swings tonight
that really helped us," Pinner added. "Sarah
did a great job swinging for us, too. I think
we picked up our service even our defense
later in the first game."
The Lady Wolves opened the week with
a 3-2 win over Bloomfield Hills, (23-25, 2513, 20-25, 27-25, 16-14), Oct. 4.
Malinowski had 22 kills, Austin had 16
kills and Miller had three aces and two
blocks.
The girls go to a Tri-meet at Seaholm
on Thursday where they will play the hosts
and Goodrich. Then, they battle in Beast
of the East on Saturday.
"It will give us some good competition
going into Beast of the East," said Pinner.
"Beast of the East is probably the best
tournament you can play in all season long.
We are looking forward to that and having
a good day Saturday. "

Clarkston hungry for wins at finals this week


BY WENDI REARDON PRICE
Clarkston News Sports Writer
The Wolves are heading to the MHSAA
Boys Tennis State Finals this week after
qualifying during regionals at Clarkston High
School last Thursday.
"They are hungry," said Chas Claus, head
coach, about the boys third visit in four years
to Greater Midland Tennis Center this Friday
and Saturday.
"For as much success as we have had over
the years overall. We were talking today no
one on this team has won more than one match
at states," he added. "Last year we didnt win
any double matches. Even our singles, who
were excellent players, won a match and then
lost. They are experienced but they are hungry
for more. They want to do well. They want to
make some noise."
Besides being hungry the boys are also
strong with their players skills and talents
especially on the Singles courts.
"We have some great talent," Claus said.
"We also have, up and down the line up, guys
who have been there. They know what it takes.
We made the finals for the first time in 2013 and
at that point it was all new for everyone. Most
of the players this year went last year so they
know what to expect. They know how it feels."
The Wolves qualified for the state finals by
finishing in second place at regionals with 22

Manilla
points while Bloomfield Hills finished first with
31 points.
"It was a great day," said Claus. "We played
great. We knew going in, with the way states is
structured for tennis, you need every flight to
win their first round match. If you can sweep
the first round you are in pretty good shape."
Which is exactly what the Wolves did the
first round with Singles players Alex Matisse,
Luke Baylis, Jacob Burkett and Frankie Piana;
and Doubles teams David Carpenter and
Tristan Greenlee; Charlie Lussenhop and Jason
Richards; Ryan Knight and Cole Manilla; and
Shane McArthur and Luke Renchik defeating
their opponents to give the team an edge going

into the next round.


"It was a real team effort," Claus added.
"Everybody did their job. By relatively early in
the day we knew we would make states, it was
just a question of how many points can we pile
up. We had more points than we have ever
had in a regional tournament. It was our best
regional as a program."
Each of the Singles players made it to the
finals with Burkett finishing in first place on
Singles No. 3 court with a win over Bloomfield
Hills' Constantin Hemmrich.
Matisse, Singles No. 1; Baylis, Singles No.
2.; and Piana, Singles No. 4 finished as runnerup in their flights, each with a loss to Bloomfield
Hills.
Manilla and Knight, Doubles No. 3, finished
as runner up in the finals after losing to
Bloomfield Hills' Chaz Blamo and Vik
Chakrabortty, 6-3, 6-3. They were also the only
doubles team to make it to the final round.
Claus added they had a great day,
beginning with their win over Rochester in the
first round, who they had beaten a few times
during the season.
"It was close both times," he said. "They
had opponents who knew if they played well
they could beat them. Not only did they win,
but they upset Rochester Adams in the second
round to make it to the finals. The Adams win
was a great win because they lost to them. It

was a revenge win for them."


Highlights for the day also included
matches for Doubles No. 2 and Doubles No. 4.
Lussenhop and Richards, Doubles No. 2,
drew Lake Orion for the first round.
"Orion played a real unorthodox style
against them to throw us off," Claus said. "It
was a frustrating match for them. It limited them
from doing the things they are very good at.
But they survived it and played well enough
to win."
McArthur and Renchik, Doubles No. 4,
drew Stoney Creek for their first match and
knew it would be a tough one.
"They could win but it was not a pushover
by any stretch," said Claus. "They turned
around and probably had their best day of
the season beating stoney Creek and playing
well the next round, too. They had a rough
season."
The state finals is this Friday and Saturday
at Greater Midland Tennis Center, 900 E.
Wackerly St., Midland. It is $5 per person.
"We said from day one of the season our
stated goal was to be the best team in program
history and so far that goal is still in play," said
Claus. "Now we are looking to finish higher
than ninth. We have gone to states twice and
have finished ninth both times. Our next goal
is doing better than that and doing better than
that by quite a bit."

Senior night is always a fun
night, said Kelly Pinner, head coach

juniors do a lot in terms of prepping.
They give them their T-shirts and they
have gifts for them.

The Clarkston Volleyball program


has Big Sis, Little Sis where the girls
on JV and freshman teams are their
little sisters and give the seniors a gift
with a note.
They look up to the senior girls
all year and have been watching
them, Pinner said. They look forward
to tonight to celebrate with them. Its
nice for our whole program - it feels
like one big family. I love senior night.

Clarkston grad named varsity girls


basketball coach at Lake Orion
BY JIM NEWELL
Special to The Clarkston News
The Lake Orion school district named
Kevin Kopec as the new varsity girls basketball coach at the end of September, and hes
a name familiar to the Clarkston residents.
Kopec is a Clarkston native and 1997
graduate of Clarkston High School.
He now lives in Oxford with his family and
teaches social studies and American Government at Lake Orion High School.
Kopec has been teaching at the high
school since 2002, after graduating from
Western Michigan University in 2001. He
earned his master of arts degree from Michigan State University in 2006.
Kopecs had been the junior varsity girls
basketball coach from 2003-16.
Before the sports seasons were realigned,
Kopec was the assistant coach for the freshman boys basketball team from 2002-04 and
the head coach from 2004-06.
As the girls JV coach, Kopecs 2005 team
went 19-0 and the 2007-08 team went 20-0.
Last season the team was 19-1. In the 13 years
hes coached girls JV, Kopecs overall record
is 189-67.
So when a coaching opportunity came
along, it seemed natural to Kopec to tie together his love of sports and working with
student-athletes.
Obviously I love the game, Kopec said.
When I got my job at Lake Orion I wanted
to get involved.
Kopec notes that boys varsity coach Jim
Manzo and former girls varsity coach Steve
Roberts, whom hes replacing, provided valuable mentorship when he first arrived at Lake
Orion.
Jim was great to me, one of the two mentors who helped me early on, Kopec said.
Both of them took a shot on a guy who
loved the game. I do feel like Im ready to
take this step and see how the kids grow as
we go.
Zac Abeel, a teacher at Waldon Middle
School in the Lake Orion district who played
basketball in Traverse City, will be Kopecs
assistant coach.
Im just really excited both about the
opportunity and the challenge, Kopec said.
We have a young team, but we have a really
talented team.
The Lady Dragons varsity team competes
in the OAA White Division, tying for second
place last year.
Our district is very competitive; several
teams can compete in districts. We have to
play well and we have to play smart. Its going to be on us to show up and work hard,
he said.
I dont think its overly ambitious to say
we want to win this league (OAA White),
Kopec said. A long-term goal would be we
want to be up in that (OAA) Red Division.
Thats my long-term goal: to build a consis-

Kevin Kopec
tent winning program that can compete at
the highest level.
Kopec should know, since hes coached
the players during their JV years. Hes also
had two undefeated seasons as the girls JV
coach, going 20-0.
Im very familiar with the players and
thats one of the great things about the transition I know where were at. Im excited to
be getting started here in about a month, he
said.
If we want to be as competitive as Id
like us to be, we have to put in the time. This
is a tough league, he said, adding he sees
Bloomfield Hills as one of the toughest opponents to contend with in the upcoming
season. They have a good team returning.
They have the most experience.
Our number one goal is to make basketball a great experience, make it fun for our
team, Kopec said. We want them to have
such a fun experience that theyre going to
say I cant wait to play basketball.

New look, local focus for Ace


BY PHIL CUSTODIO
Clarkston News Editor
Renovating the Clarkston Ace Hardware
store on Dixie Highway has been a sevendays-a-week project for new owners Jason
and Melanie Haley since the beginning of
September.
It was well overdue for an overhaul,
Jason said. We changed the layout
completely to make the store easier to shop,
get in and out of, and get service.
The new layout is more efficient, allowing
double the product, which was adjusted for
the local market.
Work so far has included new LED lights,
new paint, polished concrete floors, and
wood floor in the paint department. Theyre
almost ready to restock, a three-week process
requiring seven truckloads of product.
A former stock room is also being

renovated into a classroom and meeting


space, said Melanie, a decorative painter.
Were calling it the community room
were proud of it, she said.
Theyll use it for classes on decorative
painting and various how-tos. When its not
being used for that, theyll offer it to local
scout troops, chamber of commerce, and
other community groups at no charge.
Well be part of the community,
neighbors serving neighbors, she said.
The Haleys live in Clarkston, with Jason
working at the corporate level for Ace
Hardware for 15 years.
When the store was available, we
jumped on it, he said.
The store will open to the public on Oct.
24, with grand opening celebrations in
November. For more information, call 248795-5004.

Election News!
By Barbara A. Pallotta, CMC
Due to the overall interest nationwide and with
the help of the news media, the public has a much
better understanding about how the
President of the United States is
elected. However, despite your
presidential candidate preference,
voter turnout for all presidential elections is higher historically than any
other type of general election. Voter
turnout in the March 8 Presidential
Primary (41.39%) almost doubled
the 2012 Presidential Primary turnout (23.44%). Because all signs are Township Clerk
Barb Pallotta
pointing to what may be a record
breaking turnout for the upcoming November 8
General Presidential Election, the Clerks Office
is already making preparations to make sure every
vote cast is counted! Visit the Election Information
page of the Townships website to access the most
recent election information at www.indtwp.com or
contact our office directly at (248) 625-5113 with your
election questions.

6 Questions To Ask Yourself Before


Voting At The Precinct On Election Day:
1. Am I properly registered to vote in my community? Before you race to the polls on Election Day
confirm your voter registration status. It never hurts to
check again! In fact, contact the Clerks Office to request a new voter identification card! The information
on this card includes your name and address, precinct
number, polling location, and all voting districts in which
you reside. REMEMBER: The purpose of a voter
identification card is to communicate election information to the voter; it is not intended to be used to confirm
a voters identity, residency or registration status on
Election Day.
2. Where is my polling location? It is always a
good idea to confirm the location of your precinct. Precinct maps are on pages 2 and 3 and on the Election
Information page of the Townships website. Contact
the Clerks Office if you are unable to determine your
polling location from the precinct map.
3. Do I have proper PHOTO identification? The
most widely accepted form of identification is a Michigan drivers license or Michigan photo identification.
Have it ready to present when you arrive at the precinct. If you have forgotten your photo identification;
there is an affidavit available on the reverse side of the
Application to Vote that you must sign in lieu of presenting photo identification. REMEMBER: Photo
identification is required for the sole purpose of confirming a voters identity. It is NOT for the purpose of
verifying a voters residency or registration status.
4. Am I informed of everything on the ballot?
Although the partisan section of general election races
gets the most attention, there are typically other initiatives and/or non-partisan races on the state and/or local portions of the ballot. Inform yourself of all races
and proposals before voting. Sample ballots are available on the Election Information page of the Townships
website.
5. When is the best time to vote? It is always
important to decide when you are going to vote. The
busiest times are generally before or after workday
hours. However, because of the large voter turnout typically expected for presidential elections, polling locations tend to have voters all day. The polls open promptly

at 7 a.m. and close precisely at 8 p.m. REMEMBER: If you arrive at the precinct at precisely 8 p.m.
you are eligible to vote.
6. Do I understand how to mark my ballot so
every vote counts? Vote carefully; familiarize yourself by viewing sample ballots and voting instructions
that are available on the Election Information page of
the Townships website. As an added precaution, familiarize yourself with the below information regardingstraight-ticket, mixed-ticket, and split-ticket
voting options when marking your November 8 ballot!
Straight Ticket Voting
Reinstated:
Earlier in the year we
reported that Governor
Snyder signed a bill in January 2016 eliminating singleparty, straight-ticket voting
normally available on the
November General election ballot. Shortly after
publishing this change, a
judge granted an injunction
suspending the States
elimination of straightticket voting. An appeal
was made to the Circuit
Court of Appeals with the final decision reinstating
the straight party ticket voting option. This means, voters have the option to vote straight-ticket on the November 8 ballot.
What Does Straight-ticket Voting Mean?
Straight-ticket allows a voter to choose an entire
slate of partisan candidates from a single party with
just one ballot marking. Even though straight-ticket
voting includes the PARTISAN section of the ballot
ONLY, this also means that voters wishing to cast a
vote in a NON-PARTISAN race OR wishing to vote
for or against a state/local BALLOT PROPOSAL
must cast those votes individually.
What Does Mixed-ticket Voting Mean?
Mixed-ticket allows a voter to vote the straightContinued on Page 4,

Gun Safety
By Lt. Dirk Feneley
Oakland County Sheriffs Department
Its Never too Early to Have The Talk. Your children
need to know good firearm safety practices. And not only
for your home, but other residences they may be visiting
as well. Too often, children dont know what to do if
they find a gun, said Steve Sanetti, President and CEO of
NSSF, which developed and sponsors Project
ChildSafe, a firearm safety education program.
Younger children should be taught about
gun safety as early as possible. A couple key
fundamental rules that could save a life are:
Treat every gun as if its loaded.
If they do find a gun or see a gun, do not
touch it and go tell an adult.
Project ChildSafe has released a video that
touches on these same safety points and topics
for younger children, as well as teenagers. Featuring military veteran, champion shooter and mother
Julie Golob, this important video encourages parents to
have the talk about firearm safety with their children
sooner rather than later and provides tips for how to have
a helpful discussion. The video features Golob expressing

We encourage all voters eligible to vote by absentee


ballot to assist us in managing the voter lines at the
precinct on Election Day by voting absentee! For more
information, contact the Clerks Office at (248) 6255113.

with children, emphasizing that education on responsible
safety and storage is the number one way to prevent firearm accidents in the home. The video has two sections,

to older kids and teens.

Business
achievements
Advanced Physical Therapy Center,
which includes a clinic inside Deer Lake
Athletic Club, is celebrating its 25th
anniversary on Nov. 4.
Co-owners Kim Turner and Linda
Gibbs founded the center in 1991. The
company now operates seven clinics in
three counties, with more than 130
employees and a division of certified
hand therapy called Advanced Hand
Rehab.
If you would have asked us if we
thought we would be where we are today,
we would have said no at the time,
Turner said. But I would have to say
that weve always had the vision to
provide the best therapy possible and
help as many people as we could live the
life they deserve.
We try to listen to our patients wants
and needs and develop strong
relationships with our supporting
doctors, Gibbs said. Patients come to
our clinics because we hire the most
educated and experienced therapists and
use the latest treatments and technology
that get results quickly.

Political play
Clarkston Village Players pesents the
political drama "Farragut North," Nov. 45, 11-13, and 17-19.
The play, written Beau Willimon, who
also wrote "House of Cards" on Netflix,
is an observation on the corruption of
todays political scene and tells the story
of a presidential candidates up-and-coming press secretarys fall to ambition and
the backroom politics of more seasoned
operatives.
The production portrays people that
have become so wrapped up in winning
that theyve lost sight of the issues of a
campaign, and the moral sacrifices
theyre willing to make to win at all costs.

Life stories
BY PHIL CUSTODIO
Clarkston News Editor
Meeting every Monday morning, a local
"gaggle of geezers" always has stories to
share with each other.
They got together to put some of them in
a book, titled "One Cup at a Time."
"We were all concerned wed have
something to write about, but we all found
once we started, there was a lot," said Floyd
"Buck" Kopietz, who wrote chapter 10 about
growing up in the Upper Peninsula. "It came
down to what I had to leave out."
Chapters were also written by Bob
McGowan, Carole Cotter Bodner, Dale Bond,
Gerald McNally, Wally Niezguski, Dennis
Ritter, Jim Reed, Chris Reading, Mel Vaara,
and Bill Haney, who organized the project.
"Its pretty amazing Bill could get us to
do this," Kopietz said. "Most of us have
never done anything like this before."
The group will host a book launch party
on Oct. 19, 7-8:30 p.m., at Deer Lake Athletic
Club, 6167 White Lake Road.
Copies of the book, with a foreword
written by former Gov. Jennifer Granholm,
will be available for signing, and the event
will benefit Reading Works for adult literacy
in the area.
Kopietz, who wrote about growing up in
Manistique, serving in the Coast Guard,
attending Oakland University, and starting
a bed-and-breakfast in Clarkston, found
many benefits to the project.

Floyd "Buck" Kopietz wrote a chapter in the new book. Photo by Phil Custodio
"You go back to think about your life. It's
extremely valuable, remembering things filed
away in the dark recesses of your mind.
Memories trigger other memories. It's really
a delightful exercise. I highly recommend it
to others."

The group of like-minded folks has


gathered on Mondays for about eight years.
Kopietz has been with them for about three.
"We're a pretty progressive group in a
conservative community," he said. "We talk
about everything."

Professional
Dental doubles
in size, staff

Dr. Amy A. Davidson and Dr. Brian P. Davidson cut the ribbon on Professional Dental of Clarkston's new location on
Sashabaw Road, with the help of staff and members of Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce. Photo by Phil Custodio

Professional Dental of Clarkston has


completed their move next door to 5748
Clarkston Road, greatly growing their
practice.
We doubled the space to about 4,000
square feet, said Dr. Brian P. Davidson,
DMD LVIF, who has run the practice since
2008 with Dr. Amy A. Davidson, DMD, his
wife.
"We have nine treatment rooms now. We
used to have four," Amy said.
They also grew from a staff of four to 10.
The expansion allows them to devote a
section to Brian's general dentistry and
cosmetics, and Amy's orthodontics,
including braces for children, teens, and
adults.
"This has been a year in the making it's
a big thing for us," Amy said.
The practice is equipped with the latest
in technology and comforts for patients,
including two TV screens for viewing during
treatment. One screen is mounted in the
ceiling for patients to watch when their chair
is reclined all the way back.
For more information, call 248-620-6200.

Simple life key to success


I think science has finally discovered
what makes the political process work.
Multiverses. Political candidates live in
a different universe from everyone else.
They come from an interpenetrating dimension, one that overlaps ours at this
key point called government.
This would explain the
cosmic inflation of their
Spiritual
egos and the alternate reMatters
alities that they project in
their stump speeches and
in the debates.
Do not heap up empty
phrases as the Gentiles
do; for they think that
they will be heard because
of their many words.
Matthew 6:7
Pastor
Although humorous to Matthew Long
think about, I dont think
that this is far from the truth.
We all live in alternative realities from
each other. None of us have had the same
life experiences as the other, yet we tend to
believe that they should think, and speak,
and act, and believe the same as we do.
Anyone who has consciously traveled
around the world, through Africa or Asia
or Latin America and has not limited themselves to the packaged tours or the fancy
hotels in the big cities, has seen the fact
that most people in the world do not have
the same experience of life as we do in the
U.S.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5
Even traveling through the United States
consciously stopping in little towns instead of freeway exit ramps, spending time
getting to know the people and places that
exist in very different circumstances than
we do, we gain an appreciation for the varieties of human experiences that live side
by side just within our own nation.
All you have to do is travel to the Upper
Peninsula to visit an alternate reality.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3
Many of my most enlightening and joy
filled experiences have been when I have
consciously participated in the daily lives
of the people in the places I have visited.
Taking the time to talk with and listen to
the locals in a roadside diner on the way to
Copper Harbor last summer, we found out
about local issues and local viewpoints on
state and national issues.
We also found out about local attrac-

tions, waterfalls, viewpoints, etc., that are


known only to the locals. Blessed are the
pure in heart, for they will see God. Matthew 5:8
Some of the happiest people I have met
in my travels have lived the simplest lives.
In the city of Leh in Ladakh State of Northern India, I got to know Lodoe Giatsu a
Tibetan Buddhist Monk.
Lodoe lives in a very modest eight by
ten room with two cots that he shares with
three others. His days consist of prayer,
study and tending to the visitors to the
monastery where we stayed.
He has an incredible, childlike, joy and
enthusiasm for life, while at the same time
sharing awe inspiring wisdom and knowledge.
Blessed are those who hunger and
thirst for righteousness, for they will be
filled. Matthew 5:6
Lodoe shared amazing stories of monks
reaching a level of consciousness where
they could exist in bitter cold weather wearing only their light cloaks.
This may seem the stuff of science fiction until you realize that this was documented in National Geographic magazine.
He laughed joyously when he described
how the camera man couldnt get the close
ups he wanted because his camera would
fog up from the heat being generated by
the monks. Humans are capable of so much
more than simply existing.
Strive first for the kingdom of God and
his righteousness, and all these things will
be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33
Some of the most miserable people I
have met are the ones who have too much
stuff and are too busy getting more and
maintaining what they have to truly enjoy
any of it.
The more complicated we make life the
less enjoyable it becomes. We seem to be
doing less with more, when the answer it
seems is obvious; we can do more to be
happy with less stuff. It is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for someone who is rich to enter the
kingdom of God. Mark 10:25
Lodoe also left me with these words of
wisdom, The first step in teaching meditation is to realize that nothing is permanent; everything is all the same. Wise
words from a simple man. May you live simply rather than simply live.
Blessings of peace, joy and love.
The Rev. Matthew E. Long, Peace Unity

Auditions for comedy farce


Clarkston Village Players host open auditions for its upcoming show, Consider
the Oyster, at 6 p.m. on Oct. 23-24 at Depot Theatre, 4861 White Lake Road.
Characters in the comedy, which has
adult language and themes, include Gene,
in his/her late 20's, early 30's; Eliot, Gene's
roommate, around the same age; Marisa,
Gene's fiance, around the same age; and
Kay, Marisa's mother, in her late 40's, early

50's.
When Detroit football fan Gene breaks
his leg proposing to Marisa, the oyster
shell used to mend his leg not only begins to slowly turn him into a female, but
complicates his life with his roommate,
bride to be and her mother in this farcical
romp.
