Evart receives $1.04 million

to maintain infrastructure
EVART Evart will be the recipient of a $1,042,974 SAW Grant
city officials learned recently.
Evart was selected to receive the
grant in the fourth round of the
selection process.
The funding comes from
Michigans Department of Environmental Quality. The money
is to be used for costs involved
with sewer planning and system
maintenance.
Evart is one of 137 communities that will share nearly $97
through the DEQs Stormwater,
Asset Management and Wastewater grant program. The city
will have three years to complete
the projects for which the grant
was allocated. Communities that
fail to use the funds within the
state-prescribed timeframe are
required to repay the grant monies with interest.
One of the first projects the
city plans to use the funds for
will be a fix to infiltration and
inflow problems in the citys
sewer infrastructure, according to Mark Wilson, supervisor
of the Department of Public
Works. The consulting firm OHM
Advisors will begin assessing
parts of the manhole structures
throughout the city yet this fall,
Wilson said. Using grant dollars, the city will also obtain a
geographic information system.
All of its sewer and stormwater
infrastructure will be mapped
and evaluated.
As a condition for receiving the
grant, Evart will be required to
submit a summary of its asset
management plan.The plan will
identify the citys major assets,
and the city will need to make a
copy of the plan available to the
public for at least 15 years. The
summary must be submitted
to state oversight officials once
grant activities are completed.

Election interest abounds in Osceola

Precinct personnel
brace for a long
night
By Andy Duffy
Special to the Weekly Voice

REED CITY Osceola County Clerk Karen Bluhm anticipates a long evening for herself
and other election personnel on
election day. She said she has
seen more interest in this election than in any prior ones during her 24 years at her job.
Voter registrations have increased, Blumn said. That alone
isnt enough to gauge interest
in the political races this year,
though.
Some of the registrations may
have been from those who were
already registered but who filled
out the motor voter paperwork
to ensure their registrations
were current. More telling is
the number of absentee ballots
requested for the upcoming election.
Hordes of people have requested absentee ballots. Bluhm
estimates between 700 and 800
ballots have left her office.
Either everyone has voted
and the precincts will be slow, or
else the number of voters will
probably be the highest we have
ever recorded for a presidential
election. Bluhm said. She suspects voter turnout will be high.
This election will feature a
couple of other wrinkles that
will keep poll personnel on their
toes, too. First, seven candidates
have filed a declaration of intent
with the state to wage a writein campaign for president. Poll
workers will need to be alert for
those votes.
Second, former county prosecuting attorney Tyler Thompson recently resigned to take
over as the Mecosta-Osceola
Probate Court Judge following

the resignation of Marco Menezes. Bluhm knows at least two

people are mounting write-in
campaigns to replace Thompson. Both events complicate
matters for election workers.
Looking through all the ballots for valid write-ins, whether
it is for president, county prosecutor or perhaps any local
offices will require more time
at the end of the election day,
Bluhm said.
Voters in Osceola County will
have several races and issues
to vote on during Novembers
election.
Below is a quick look at what
is on the ballot.

Contested races
Incumbent Republican Sheriff James A. Crawford will face
challenger David Fowler, who
has no party affiliation.
In the 97th District House of
Representatives race, Republican Jason Wentworth will face
Democrat Robert Townsend.
The winner of this race will
replace current Republican Rep.
Joel Johnson.
Three candidates are running for two open seats on the
Evart City Council. Candidates
running are Ralph Carlson,
John C. Joyce, and Rickie L.
Machleit.
In the village of Hersey,
the positions of president and
trustee will be contested. Running for president will be John
Calabrese and Robin Marvel.
Running for two open seats on

the board of trustees will be

Kimberly Erickson, James A.
Jackson Sr., and Patricia Ruth
Jacobs.
In the village of LeRoy, four
candidates will be running
for the position of president.
Candidates are Michael E.
Blanchard, Gary Edstrom, Jody
Jordan, and Diana Vandercook.
Four candidates will be running for two open seats on the
Lincoln Township Board of
Trustees. Republican candidates are Hector J. Couture and
Nicholas C. Peffer II. Democratic candidates are Danielle Ball
and Adam Stein.
Five candidates are running
for two open seats on the Reed
City City Council. Candidates
running are Dan Burchett, Roger W. Meinert, David Scharlow,
Carol A. Tillotson and Evan C.
Traynor.

Looking through all

the ballots for valid write-ins,
whether it is for president,
county prosecutor or perhaps
any local offices will require
more time at the end of the
election day.

What WAS it?

Think snow blowers.
Think brush hogs. Both
pieces of equipment employ a version of these.
The idea is to prevent
the critical guts of the
machinery from becoming damaged when a rock
or unforeseen object finds
its way into the path of
the blower or grass cutter
in turn triggering an otherwise predictable jam or
tearing-up of the key mechanical components.
Shear pins are designed
to break at the first signs
of stress encountered by
the equipment. This stops
the machine before damage becomes more widespread. Shear pins are
easily replaceable; gears,

clean break is the clue
to the naming of these.
Diameter and length will
vary by model of machine
employing them but
the concept is universal
from watercraft to snow

blowers to tractor attachments. (Note the cotter

key at the tip of each.
These prevent the shear

Evarts football season

ends, but team
experiences growth

FRANKFORT A successful season came to a

sudden end as Evart fell to
Frankfort 30-0 in a MHSAA
Division 8 pre-district contest.
The Wildcats finished
the season at 6-4 overall
while the Panthers (10-0)
host Lincoln Alcona in
a district title game next
weekend.
Frankfort, a perennial
state championship contender, took control of the
contest early taking the
opening drive for a touchdown and never really
looked back.
The Evart offense moved
the ball well in the first
quarter and had the opportunity to answer with a
long field goal attempt, but
the kick sailed just short.
After the failed field goal,

Frankforts offense shifted

into overdrive taking a 22-0
lead into the half.
Evart coach Pat Craven
spoke highly of his opponent noting his teams difficulty in countering their
speed.
We tried to simulate
their speed in practice all
week, and our goal was to
keep their offense off the
field by controlling the line
of scrimmage, but we came
up short, he said.
The Wildcats were successful moving the ball
through the air throughout
the evening.
However Craven noted
that the aerial attack was
not his teams bread and
butter and that was not a
part of the game plan.
While disappointed with
the loss Craven was ef-

We have worked with
these kids for four years
and to see a group that

Craven also pointed to

the development of his

They are good football
players, but they are all
good leaders and even better young men.

The Evart
band and
cheerleaders helped
keep
spirits up
for the
Evart fans
during
the predistrict
game in
Frankfort.

The term Lame Duck

refers to politicians that
are in a period between the
election of a successor and
time spent finishing their
political term.
The key definition to
Lame Duck is the concept
of doing action with little
fear of consequence.
In Michigan, Lame Duck
2016 (LD16) will run from
the period after the November election until the start
of the new year. Lawmakers that have retired, are
termed out, or have been
voted out, have a small
window to make one last
impact.
In Michigan, the Republicans have controlled all
of the branches of government for the betterment of
two election cycles. With
the top of the United States
ticket being volatile this
year, there may be some
impact in Michigan; national polling is one area
the experts are watching.
As the world watched
the Brexit of the United
Kingdom from the European Union this past summer, one phenomena that
totally fooled the experts
was the polling numbers;
all of the media outlets had
the outcome totally wrong.

Lame duck session

National polling could
also be a major factor in
this years Michigan election process by encouraging or discouraging voter
turnout. What does the
national volatility mean
for political coat-tails on
Michigan politicians?
Depending on the outcome of the November results, the Michigan House
has a chance of flipping to
the Democrats; it is more
likely the Democrats will
gain a few seats, reducing
the Republican majority.
In either format (complete
flip or Democratic gains),
it is highly likely that
LD16 will be as historic
as 2012 where 45 percent
of all education bills were
passed for that year in
Lame Duck. Overall, 620
bills were signed into law
with 282 passed during
Lame Duck 2012, the most
famous being Right-toWork.
In contrast, the majority
of the bills passed during
the Lame Duck 2014 were
focused on a road package
ballot measure that eventually was turned down
by the public at a historic
drubbing of over 80 percent. We should be ready
for Lame Duck 2016 to be

on the table, especially if

the margin between the
parties closes.
Your legislator will have
to read hundreds of pages
of legislation in a matter
of hours during LD16, so
your expertise may come
in handy should you be
called upon.
Heres your homework:
1) find out the details, both
negative and positive, of
your positions; 2) be ready
to provide simple solutions
to complex problems; 3)
check in with your legislator over the next 30 days;
and 4) leave them your
phone number so your
input can be accessed if
necessary.
Regardless of how the
national election plays
out, I believe Michigan
LD16 is going to be historic
and rival 2012. You may
be lucky and get a phone
call at 2 a.m. right around
Christmas asking for your
position on a topic. Get
ready, here comes LD16.

The time to contact
your legislator is now, not
December. By developing
relationships during the
slow pace, you can become
a trusted resource on legislation that may impact
you, your cause, or your
organization.
In education, we are
fully expecting a charge
towards more charter and

resources, an effort to put

Crowds thronged to Evart and filed along Main Street to fill their bags with candy on Halloween during
Main Street Monster Mash.
Evarts Main Street Monster Mash drew crowds to the communitys downtown area to celebrate
Halloween. Businesses, community organizations and churches banded together to provide treats, music
and a safe environment, and a costume contests for people and pets. While a bonfire blazed in a firepot
and monster-themed music blared down Main Street, trick-or-treaters filed along and filled their treat
bags.
