Probe continues into woman’s death

Tuscola man dies in gunfight with deputies

Obamacare reprieve won’t affect schools

by Tom MontgomeryEditor

The July 4 holiday started on a trag-ic and deadly note Thursday inTuscola County, where TuscolaCounty Sheriff’s deputies shot and

killed a man who first opened fire onthe officers at a Gilford Townshipresidence.

The gunfight followed an apparentdomestic homicide involving thedeath of a woman inside the home,located on VanGeisen Road near

Reese Road, according to a state-ment released early Thursdayevening by Tuscola CountyUndersheriff Glen Skrent.

“Two Tuscola County Sheriff’sdeputies responded (to the home) ataround 4:13 p.m.,” Skrent reported.

“A family member had called andsaid they had stopped at the houseand confronted their father, who stat-ed the mother was dead on the floor.The family member left the houseand called 911.“Deputies arrived along with a Caro

City officer and set up a perimeteraround the house,” Skrent said. “Amale subject came out of the houseand started firing a weapon at offi-cers. The officers returned fire andthe subject was killed.”

The Obama administration’s decision last week to delay a major require-ment of the new federal health care law will provide medium and largeemployers with a temporary financial reprieve.

But the news won’t impact local schools, which already have until 2015 tomeet the new guidelines.

In the case of the Cass City Public Schools, the new federal healthcare lawis expected to eventually boil down to roughly $100,000 in additional healthinsurance costs.

That was the preliminary figure local school officials were projecting ear-lier this year as they prepared to deal with the effects of Obamacare, includ-ing a rule that requires medium and large companies to provide insurancecoverage for their workers or face fines. The employer requirement is con-sidered among the most complex parts of the new law, which is designed toexpand coverage for uninsured Americans.

Under the law, companies with 50 or more workers must provide afford-

Guinther retires following 2decades-long career in Navy

by Mason DoerrStaff Writer

After traveling the world, a localNavy man is ready to come home.

Information Systems TechnicianFirst Class Brian Guinther, whograduated from Cass City HighSchool in 1991, enlisted in the U.S.Navy soon following graduation.After making his way through basictraining in San Diego, Calif.,Guinther pursued a career thatproved to be one for the adventurousat heart.

Guinther, who was recently hon-ored during a retirement ceremony inJune, served in the Navy for 20years, including 6 deployments.During this time Guinther sailed theAtlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea,Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea,Indian Ocean, South China Sea, EastChina Sea, Caribbean Sea, Gulf ofMexico and the Pacific Ocean.

In addition, Guinther crossed theequator twice, once near Ecuadorand once near Singapore, traversedthe Panama Canal 4 times, the SuezCanal twice and was called to 46ports in more than 21 countriesaround the globe.

While serving and traveling,Guinther did have a few favorite des-tinations that he visited.

“Hong Kong was great, it was likeNew York City, but you can’t reallyunderstand the signs,” Guinther said,laughing. “Barcelona, Spain, wasgreat ... the shopping was greatthere.”“I tried to go to as many Hard Rock

Cafes as I could around the world,”Guinther added. “My biggest collec-tion of stuff is probably beer mugs.I’ve probably got around 40 beermugs.”

During high school, Guinther madethe decision that he wanted to take adifferent path after graduation. Afterhaving shown some interest in the airforce, he got in touch with hisrecruiter, Mark Zmierski, Caro, andsoon after, packed his bags andsailed off with the Navy.

“I would do it all again. A lot ofpeople just don’t understand whypeople join the military; I’ve (beenable) to see all those places and I’veexperienced so many different citiesand countries and cultures,”

Guinther said. “The Navy has takenme to so many different places. Iwould do it again, but I would do itdifferently this time. I would studymore.”

While on shore duty, Guinther’sassignments included working as a

Navy recruiter in the Detroit, Caroand Bay City areas, serving at theheadquarters of the multi-nationalcorps in Baghdad as server room

This year’s 3-day Fourth of JulyFreedom Festival celebrationproved to be another great eventfor the village and its citizens.

This year’s annual FreedomFestival parade featured 72entrants, some of which had multi-ple floats/walking groups, and ranwithout flaw.

“I think everything went reallywell,” said Freedom Festival Co-Chair Emily Phillips. “There isalways a few minor hiccups but Ithink everything this year ran real-ly smoothly. There isn’t anythingthat can’t be adjusted.”

One of the popular attractions atthe Freedom Festival is the ThumbSmokin’ BBQ competition. Thisyear’s winners include Sims-Sational BBQ in the chicken cate-gory, Camp Run-A-Muck in theribs event, Marv Irrer in the PulledPork venue and Camp Run-a-Muck clinched the win in thebrisket category. Other participat-ing teams that placed in the com-petition include “Old Red”Backyard BBQ, the Cass CityLions Club, Holy Smokes, andHoppy’s Concessions.The second annual Pageant in the

Park proved to be another crowd-pleasing time. This year therewere 9 categories in which con-testants could compete. The win-ners for this year’s beautiful babyevent were Elizabeth Blackstonefor the girls and Joshua Woodrufffor the boys. In the terrific toddlercategory, Noelle Klaus clinchedthe win in the girls’ category andMichael Woodruff took the honorsin the boys’ division. In the TinyMiss section, Claire Walker tookthe win, while Mia Myers washonored with the Young Miss tro-phy.

Advantages of truck ownership abound

Clarke HairePublisher

Tom MontgomeryEditor

Not long ago, I found myself living in a house inhab-ited by two entities: those who thought we needed apick-up truck, and those who didn’t.

It’s an age-old dilemma faced by families fromAlabama to Wyoming. To truck or not to truck? That isthe question.

We had a truck years ago, back in our life BC (beforechildren). After our daughter came along, we traded itin for a minivan. I never looked back. I can’t say thesame for my husband.

He is quick to point out a pick-up truck affords onemany advantages and perks over a minivan. A proudtruck owner can cruise into the local home improve-ment store at any hour of the day and grab a bunch oftwo-by-fours or that new toilet his wife’s been eyeing.Home improvement projects are a breeze when youown a truck.

He adds that weather is no match for a truck. A truckcan barrel through snow and sleet, rain and fog. It canget the kiddies to school during a blizzard. It doesn’tmatter if you’re a butcher, baker, banker or builder, dur-ing inclement weather, everyone benefits from owninga truck.

Need to move a load of firewood? Not a problem fora truck. Ditto that for new furniture. And trips to thedump? They’re an effortless joy from behind the wheelof your truck.

You can transport your four-wheeler in the back ofyour truck. (Once you get a truck, the next logical stepis a four-wheeler.) The same goes for a boat and Jet Skiand snowmobile and oh, the list goes on. When youthink about it, a truck is useful year ‘round. It can pulland transport all sorts of toys, which of course you wantand need, after you get your truck.

People who own trucks get to talk about things liketorque, bed liners and Hemis. They get to ask questionslike “What’s your payload capacity?” and “How’s shedo in the woods?”

Truck ownership certainly has plenty of benefits. Myhusband notes the disadvantages pale in comparison.I’m sure you’ll agree.

Who cares if you can’t fit your whole family into thecab? That’s why toppers were invented. As for the folks who claim trucks are gas-guzzlers, any

proud truck owner understands priorities. Hauling anew toilet for your wife, or a few extra bucks in yourwallet – the choice is obvious.Some people think trucks are road hogs. Big. Not easy

to drive or fit into your garage or a regular parkingspace at the grocery store. For a happy truck owner itagain comes down to priorities. Something’s got to givewhen a truck is supplying you and your entire familywith so much.

Trucks are tough. Even their names sound robust.You’ve got your Toyota Tundra (Brrr!), and your DodgeRam (Grrr!). For years, Chevrolet claimed their truckswere “Like a rock.” We all know nothing beats a rock(except maybe paper). Ford plays it straight, sayingtheir vehicles are “Built Ford tough.”

There’s that word again – tough. I’ve noticed toughand truck are often paired. Both begin with the letter T,as does, I’m sure you’re aware, the word testosterone.Coincidence? I think not.A truck may be ideal for practical things like bringing

loads to the dump or getting to school in a snowstorm,

There are always plenty of volunteers that help to pull offa successful Freedom Festival year after year that workbehind the scenes. One of this year’s unsung champions isCass City teacher Kelli McIntyre.

She was handed the reins of the Fire-In-The-Sky basket-ball tournament very late in the game (pun intended) andorganized this year’s event in just a couple of franticweeks.

Anyone that has ever worked with Kelli, as I did whilecoaching the Lady Red Hawk varsity basketball team,isn’t surprised by her efforts or results.

**********

Pastor Todd Gould stopped by the Chronicle office lastweek and asked if we could update the Chronicle’s ChurchDirectory to note that the Evangelical Free Church of CassCity has started its Summer Café Church with 10 a.m.service times every Sunday until the end of August.

I promised we would and also that I could mention thetime change here; a bonus for the personal visit.

**********

My thoughts turned to our local firefighters recently afterhearing that 19 of their colleagues were killed in anArizona blaze. Nearly everyone knows someone connect-ed to the Elkland Township Fire Department, and most ofus, know most of them. For me that includes chief GlennGuilds. We walked the halls of the local high schooltogether as members of the Class of 1978.

Guilds told me that his fire and rescue crew has battledfield fires, where waste high switch grass spreads atspeeds up to 45 mph. That’s very frightening.

**********

As has been the case for decades, the Haires spent theJuly 4th holiday with family and friends in NorthernMichigan. Different from past years, however, was thedrive home.

Usually a 3 hour and 15 minute drive from Boyne City,Sunday’s journey lasted nearly 6 hours. We took off atabout 11:30 a.m. and were held up first in Gaylord, wheregetting onto I-75 took 30 minutes to travel the final 3miles on M-32 before reaching the expressway ramp.

Once we hit the freeway, we encountered delays nearGrayling and between West Branch and Bay City the rateof travel was mostly stop and go. Frustrating, becausethere were no accidents or mishaps to speak of, no break-downs or things of that nature to cause the traffic backupsduring our trip home.

Also out of the ordinary, we didn’t see one police carpatrolling I-75 before exiting at Wilder Road.

**********

Chances are, you did a little grilling this past weekend.And why not, a traditional holiday picnic costs less than$6 per person, says the American Farm Bureau Federation(AFBF).

According to theAFBF, the average costfor a summer picnic for10 is $57.20 – just$5.72 per person. Sixtyvolunteer shoppers in22 states checked retailprices for these summerpicnic staples: hot dogsand buns, cheeseburg-ers and buns, ketchupand mustard, pork spareribs, deli potato salad,baked beans, cornchips, watermelon,chocolate milk andlemonade.

Here are the averageretail prices shoppersfound:

but don’t kid yourself. The real reason God inventedtrucks is because they are cool. Trucks are high up off theground and hard to climb into. When you ride around ina truck you can look down at all the little guys in theirminivans and think, “I bet he wishes he had a truck.”And you know what? I bet he does.But, not at my house. After weeks of discussion I was

finally swayed to the dark side when my husband, armedwith a tape measure, assured me a truck really would fitinto our garage after all. He was right. It fits quite nicely– right next to my new minivan.

Rabbit Tracksby Clarke Haire

(And anyone else he canget to help)

If you have a third grader attending the Cass City

Public Schools, and you’re not quite up to speed on

local history, you may be getting “schooled” by your

own youngster once classes resume in the fall.

You can thank the Cass City Historical Society, Tyler

Perry and the Pinney Foundation for that.

It was the historical society that came up with the

idea of compiling and publishing a history of the Cass

City community, entitled “The Story of Your Town: A

Student’s Guide to Cass City’s History”; Perry is cred-

ited with tackling much of the hands-on work involved

in the project; and the Pinney Foundation once again

stepped up to the plate, picking up the tab to donate

120 copies for local teachers to use in their class-

rooms.

After 10 months of work, the finished product “hit the

shelves”, so to speak, with the historical society sell-

ing the first copies over the weekend in the park fol-

lowing Cass City’s annual Freedom Festival Parade.

Now, the book isn’t likely to roar into the New York

Times Bestseller List, but we see it as a wonderful

feather in the community’s cap for several reasons.

Start with helping Cass City School officials meet a

state education guideline requiring that local history

be incorporated into the curriculum.

In addition, encouraging youngsters to focus on the

past by looking at the people, places and events that

helped to shape their own town should make for some

interesting discussions in the classroom.

More importantly, utilizing this new historical

resource will hopefully give our future generations an

even stronger sense of identity and pride in the com-

munity where they live, play and learn, even if they

decide to pack up and leave as adults.

We haven’t heard mention of it yet, but it’s hard not to

wonder how the late Jack Esau would have reacted to

the historical society’s efforts.

Esau, whose likeness was incorporated into the book

as the readers’ own personal “tour guide”, knew this

community’s history as well — if not much better —

than most area residents. And he truly reveled in any

opportunity to share what he knew with others.

No doubt he would have been thrilled with this latest

compilation, courtesy of the historical society.

We hope area residents will join us in congratulating

the society, Perry and the Pinney Foundation for mak-

ing this project a shining example of the pride we can

all share in the place we call home.

Timewell spent, some of whichincluded preparing a trailerfor veterans who can nolonger make the marchwith the honor guard tostill be able to participatein the event. We were for-tunate to have more thanour normal number of vet-erans who were able tomarch in the honor guardso the number of trailerriders was not great — butstill important.As the parade began, there

was applause for the colorsand the veterans; boththose marching and thosein the trailer behind mypickup. Unfortunately, by

mid-parade my moodwas going downhill dueto the number of peoplewho neglected to standas the colors approachedand by the number ofmen who refused toremove their hats orcaps in respect for theflag moving down thestreet ahead of me.

At the main corner, theHonor Guard halted andwhile our VFW PostCommander, JoeMerchant placed awreath at the memorialby the village office, theveterans in my trailerdismounted and joinedthe Honor Guard andsaluted the flag as theNational Anthem wassung. Following that,the veterans returned to

The applause far outweighed thedisrespect of a few and restored myrespect for small town values like Ifind in Cass City.

I appreciate the reminder.

Reporter’s notebook

Time never loses

its value in lifeby Tom Montgomery

Editor

After several days of work, my wife and I have turned a spare bed-room into a dandy home office for me.

We’re talking carpet ripped out and old linoleum scraped off; woodfloor sanded, stained, etc.; and, finally, moving a 3,000-pound oakdesk (a slight exaggeration, but it’s definitely the heaviest gift mymom has ever blessed me with).This column was written at that desk, but it took awhile because my

concentration was frequently broken as I looked around the room andcould almost hear the distant, child-like voices of our girls when theywere young. You know, the high-pitched chatter of youngsters play-ing, and, later, the decidedly indignant, demanding, “It’s the end ofthe world if I don’t get my way” sort of shouting that teenage girls areknown for when they’ve invaded each others’ turf.

If you aren’t familiar with it, as the father of 3 girls and one son, Ican honestly say you’ve really missed out. I won’t elaborate on what. It’s funny; you wonder if your kids are ever going to “grow up”, and

then, suddenly, they have. And you wonder, with a deep sadness onlya parent can know, where the years went.

I don’t always listen to the good Lord, but He has a way of remind-ing me — all of us — that every moment counts. Unlike most thingsin this world, minutes never lose their value.

I was recently reminded of that sometimes harsh reality when Ireceived a call from my wife, who was on her way home from pick-ing up my mother in Grand Rapids so she could spend the July 4 hol-iday with us.

“Honey, we were in an accident...on I-75.”The words took a few years off my life. However, I immediately

recovered when she confirmed they were okay. Our Journey wastotaled, but metal and rubber can always be replaced.

It was another reminder of the value of life and each second we’regiven to enjoy it and each other.

These days I’m starting to make some serious plans for post-retire-ment writing projects, but I have no problem putting those on holdwhen some grandchildren show up at the door.I don’t imagine those little ones will contemplate the value and fleet-

ing nature of each day, week, month, etc., for some time to come.That’s okay — I am, and as much as I can, I intend to make the mostof each one.

Time never loses its value, but you can never get a moment backonce it’s gone.

CASS CITY, MICHIGAN PAGE FIVE

5 YEARS AGO (2008)Cass City School officials didn’t

have to look far when it came tofinding a replacement for AaronFernald as athletic director. Theideal candidate turned out to be notonly familiar with athletics, but alsoa veteran member of Cass City’steaching and coaching staffs fornearly 3 decades. And, he hadreached a point in his career wherehe wanted to tackle the challengesof an administrative position. TheCass City Board of Educationnamed Don Markel the new athleticdirector last month. His new jobalso includes serving as assistantprincipal at both the middle andhigh schools.

Jim Boyce, Cass City, recentlyrecorded a hole-in-one at RollingHills Golf Course. He aced the 5thhole measuring 113 yards.

10 YEARS AGO (2003)About 70 Walbro Engine

Management employees skippedout of work for a few days last weekto play in Cass City, but the workerswon’t be getting into any trouble fortheir absenteeism. In fact, theirbosses not only approved, they alsopicked up the tab and joined themfor 3 days of socializing, entertain-ment and friendly competition withan international flair! Cass Cityhosted “Challenge Cup IV - Goin’Wild in Michigan”, Thursday,Friday and Saturday. Picture-perfectweather greeted the Walbro employ-ees, who arrived in the village in 8teams from various Walbro facilitiesin Japan, Mexico, Arizona andMichigan to compete in severalevents Friday and Saturday. Theworkers also spent a few hours thefirst day pitching in to spruce upCass City Recreation Park.

Skrent noted that one deputy suf-fered minor injuries when the sus-pect began firing a weapon at theofficers. The deputy was later treat-ed at a Saginaw area hospital andreleased.

“The scene was turned over to theMichigan State Police,” said Skrent,

able coverage to their full-timeemployees or risk a series of escalat-ing tax penalties if just one workerends up getting government-subsi-dized insurance. The new regulationdefines “full-time workers” as thoseputting in 30 hours or more.

Originally, the requirement wassupposed to take effect Jan. 1.

Cass City School Supt. Jeff Hartelnoted the district’s 2013-14 budgetwon’t be affected by the projectedincrease in insurance costs underObamacare. And, he doubts theywill materialize later.

With the Obama administrationmaking a major concession last weekby agreeing to a one-year delay,Hartel says he believes the adminis-tration will abandon the idea of forc-ing employers to insure mostemployees altogether.

“It probably won’t even happen,”Hartel said, adding companies arereacting by reducing staff numbers

leading petty officer (LPO), and healso served at Transient PersonnelUnit Norfolk as Information Systemsand Limited Duty Office LPOs.

While on sea duty, his assignmentsincluded time on the USS Clark as aradioman 3rd class, USS Portland asa radioman 2nd class, USSEnterprise as the LPO of the commu-nications division, and his finalassignment was on the USS FortMcHenry as LPO and acting leadingchief petty officer (LCPO) of thecommunications division.

After his 20 years with the Navy,Guinther came out decorated. Hispersonal awards include a JointService Commendation Medal,Navy Achievement Medal (2 goldstars) and a Good Conduct SilverStar. His unit awards include aNational Defense Service Medal,Iraqi Campaign Medal, Global Waron Terrorism Expeditionary Medal,Global War on Terrorism ServiceMedal, Armed Forces ServiceMedal, Humanitarian Service Medaland two letters of commendation.Although Guinther had a great time

and workers’ hours. “I understandwhat they (Obama administration)are trying to do, but it’s having areverse effect.”

The Cass City Board of Educationlast month adopted a new budgettotaling $9.078 million in revenuesand $9.075 in expenditures. The dis-trict ended the 2012-13 fiscal yearwith a fund balance of nearly$787,000, or an amount equal to 8.3percent of the budget. The projectedfund balance for June 30, 2014, isroughly $792,000.

That figure could change, depend-ing on factors such as enrollment,which determines the largest share ofK-12 education funding via a formu-la that provides schools with a cer-tain amount of money for each stu-dent.

Hartel projected a loss of about 30kids in the coming year for budget-ing purposes. That would leave a K-12 enrollment of 1,053 students,with state officials giving the district$1,077 per student in funding.

in the Navy, he knew it was time toretire and come home to his familyand friends.

“As my time got closer and closer,I got more excited about cominghome,” Guinther said. “I loveMichigan. I’m glad to be back homeand now I’m like everybody else,just trying to find a job.”

Guinther noted that his retirementceremony went very well.

All the first classes that wereinvolved did a really good job,”Guinther said. “It was probably a 35minute ceremony. It was a great cer-emony.”

For Guinther, the highlight of hisretirement was handing theAmerican flag to his mom and dadduring his ceremony. It was an emo-tional day for him, but he can nowenjoy some long-term R-and-R (restand relaxation) while his fellow ser-vicemen fight to secure and maintainthis nation’s freedoms.

“Getting through my final speechand telling my wife I’m ready tocome home (was the hardest part ofthe ceremony for him); I couldn’t getthose words out without crying. Itwas such an emotional day.”

petition did not have any competitorsin the Ms. Golden Dynamite catego-ry. However, this year Kay Dillonwas awarded the grand title.“Kay was a huge hit with the parade

crowd on Saturday, proudly wearingher golden crown and waving anAmerican Flag,” said EventCoordinator Nancy Barrios. “A wellknown member of the Cass CityCommunity, Kay is a hard workinglady who dearly loves her family andfriends. Among her many interests,besides her faith, are drawing, paint-ing, visiting and helping others,especially patients at the Cass CityTenderCare.”

This year’s judges were VillagePresident Carl Palmateer, MarilynMastie and Barb Kirn.

Along with the BBQ competitionand the pageant, there were severalother events that were quite popular.

“The waterslide at the park was abig hit. The monster truck (rides) hadpeople lined up the whole day,”Phillips said. “We had a lot of peoplecomplimenting the fireworks. I thinkwe have one of the best parades inthe Thumb.”

As always, the Rolling Hills GolfCourse Fourth of July GolfTournament was a big success. Therewere 18 teams that teed off in hopesof taking first place. However, thefirst place winners, coming in at 13under par, were Dan Gonzales, AlGlaza, Garrett Gentner and Brody

Beachy. Coming in second place, at12 under par, were Matt Ender,Corey Ulfig, Dereck Bellew andPaul Ulfig. Placing third, at 12 underpar, was Dave Weiler, BrandonWeiler, Pat Davis and Ken Martin.

A scorecard playoff was used todetermine the tie-breaker. Ender’steam had birdied the number 1 andnumber 2 handicapped holes, whichmade them the runners-up.Rolling Hills Golf Course is hoping

to be able to make a donation of over$3,500 to the Freedom Festival tohelp fund next year’s events.

Whether Cass City citizens had agreat time watching the parade,viewing the fireworks or participat-ing in any of the events, this year’sfestival was a true show of smalltown pride of country.“Just being down at the parade line-

up and seeing all the people that webrought into the village of Cass City,and seeing the streets packed withkids, was the biggest reward,”Phillips said. “Having our local vet-erans be a part of the celebrationinstills the true values ofIndependence Day in each of us andreminds us why we are able to havethe freedoms that we do.”

“Thank you to all the volunteersand to the village of Cass City for allyour help in making the 35th annualCass City Freedom Festival a hugesuccess,” Phillips added. “Withoutall of the community support thiswouldn’t be possible.”

Cass City art lovers to welcome RummelJoanne Rummel of Sebewaing will

have art work featured at the ArtisticEndeavors Art Gallery of Cass City,Friday 6 to 8 p.m.

Rummel has a Bachelor of Fine

Arts Degree from WittenburgUniversity. She teaches drawing andpainting through the Osher LifelongLearning Institute (OLLI) programat SVSU, having taught K-one grade

art for 16 years.Her award winning work is focused

on the mediums of watercolor,graphite and graphite withbleach. She says she loves capturing

the personalities of people as herfavorite subject matter, but also isintrigued with the abstracted processof using bleach with graphite forunique paintings that are truly one-of-a-kind.

She cannot remember a time whenshe was not creating and interestedin art.

Rummel is known in the Thumbarea and the Tri-Cities as an excel-lent draftsman, with the ability tocapture a subject with amazing accu-racy, which is necessary when paint-ing the human form. She has alwaysbeen fascinated by anatomy, havingoriginally focused her study on med-ical illustration. She has a reputationfor painting her surroundings with

grace and beauty, capturing thepeace and tranquility of nature andthe rural landscape of Michigan.

The public is invited to meet herand view her work. Refreshmentswill be served, with music provid-ed by area violinist RichardWrobleski. Rummel’s art will con-tinue to be featured for two weeks.

Artistic Endeavors is a non-profitgallery established for the promotionof fine art created by local artists.The gallery is open on Thursdaysfrom noon to 5 p.m., Fridays noon to7 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4p.m., with extended hours on the sec-ond Friday of each month until 8p.m. for opening receptions of fea-tured art members. The gallery islocated at 6358 Main St., Cass City.

THESE ARE a couple examples of Rummel’s artisticwork — “The Sentinel” (top photo) and “The MilkingParlor”.

JOANNE RUMMEL of Sebewaing is the latest Thumb artist to be featured at theArtistic Endeavors Art Gallery in Cass City. Rummel’s work will be on display atthe gallery for 2 weeks, with a reception planned in her honor Friday from 6 to 8p.m.
