Playoffs clinched BY WENDI REARDON
Clarkston News Sports Writer Clarkston's gridiron heroes clinched a playoff spot last Friday night with their 37-20 win over Troy Athens. The varsity football team celebrated with a chant after the game, but longtime head coach Kurt Richardson saw something else during the game – an opportunity to improve especially after the first half. “We made too many mistakes, penalties and put the ball on the ground,” he reflected as the boys headed to the locker room. “Our focus is to win but you’ve got to get better. I don’t know if we got better tonight.” He added the Wolves need to make progress every week not only as a team but as individuals, too. “I don’t care who we are playing or what the score is, we have to get better,” Richardson said. Senior Cole Chewins agreed, “I don’t think we played our best as a team. We got the win which was good but a lot to improve upon for the next week.” The Wolves host their Homecoming

game and final home game of the season this Friday night against Troy, (0-6). Chewins added the first step to improve as they prepare for the Colts is to be more mentally prepared. “We were making a lot of mental mistakes,” Chewins said. “No personal foul penalties. Just go out, practice hard and get better every week.” The Wolves Wolves took control of the first Please see Homecoming on page 13

Scouts propose two free libraries BYANDREAM.BEAUDOIN
Clarkston News Staff Writer Girl Scout troops do more than sell delicious snacks every year. Thanks to a group of Clarkston scouts , next year two “Little Free Libraries” will be placed somewhere in downtown Clarkston. A group with Troop 13363 visited Clarkston City Hall on Sept. 22 to ask city council to approve theirthe project. Completing project, considered a sustainable community community project, will earn each girl a Silver Award. Award. The award is one of the highest honors obtainable. Each girl must put in 50 hours of work on a a sustainable community project. Scouts will plan, problem solve and use critical thinking skills throughout the project. At the meeting, the girls, in grades 6-8, took turns informing council of their hopes to install two libraries next spring. The Little Free Library concept, “is to take a book and leave a book. Read a book. Return a book,” one of the scouts told council. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to frequently take or leave a book from the library, so books stay fresh and changing. Mayor Joe Luginski expressed concern about installing a library in Depot Park because of vandalism. Troop Leader Amy Music said books in the library are free. New cameras have also been recently recently installed in the park. Each library is relatively small, and consists of just one or two shelves with about 20 books. Books in the librari libraries es are for both kids and adults. Each will contain a notebook so people can leave various messages. Notes, messages and words of encouragement are encouraged. The library is completely waterproof to protect the bhand ooks.asScouts Scouts will construct each structure bybooks. they work their 50 hours to earn the Silver S ilver Award. Award.

Andrea's Anecdotes A column by Andrea Beaudoin
Walls, they crumble Saturday my mom and I headed to the wedding of her ex-husband's daughter. Mom worried how people would think 23 years changed her. Her inner critic screamed. Feeling at ease inside, I told Mom “You’re beautiful. Don’t worry. I spot him instantly wearing a bright orange suit. I see him look towards the road. I think he’s wondering if we’re coming. I called him "Dad" the first 13 years of life. I love him. Years ago, after something traumatic happened to me, our contact ceased. During an already painful time for me, losing him made every hurt worse. I understand now. I too favor avoidance. I leave the tent often to go outside alone, and soothe my overwhelming urge to escape. I watch as s unshine splits apart a dark sky. Thinking I must seem strange, and Mom may feel abandoned, I go back inside. Mom is effortlessly confessing she missed and loves everyone. I feel the same. Wanting to talk, I mostly fail, but manage some conversation and a few hugs. I continue my attempts to analyze everyone and everything. I usually do this well, but not today. Uneasy. I want to leave, so we do. Anxiety and emotions later consume me. I cry before sleeping. My dreams that night are foggy and distant, but I get the gist. I was covering a story I knew would be the greatest gr eatest I would ever write. Something very complex and unexplainable existed, a great connection, and something important made sense to me. I was amazed, and knew others would be too. I awoke saying out loud, “It is amazing how symbiotic it is.” Symbiotic, meaning living harmoniously together together.. I tried to figure out why I had bad feelings at the pleasant wedding. Equally hard, I pondered the dream. I knew something unusual happened at the wedding that caused me complete chaos within. Why? My senses about people and the world are often accurate. In writing, especially, especially, sensing and portraying feelings is a gift. I concluded I had absorbed Mom’s anxiety. I am aware this happens to me constantly and quickly. I was 100 percent sure, the way I felt that existed only within me. A great puzzle within unraveled instantly.. I realized that deep wounds built stantly Please see Identify on page 31

Support for Kelli Horst on school board Dear Editor, We have known Kelli Horst and her husband, ban d, Scott, Scott, since since we moved moved to Clarkst Clarkston on 11 years ago. Our decision to raise our family in Clarkston was influenced by the reputation of the public school system. We have not been disappointed. The quality of the teaching, school facilities,
and extracurricular programs have provided our three daughters with the opportunity to grow both bot h soc social ially ly and aca academ demica ically lly.. Electing a fellow parent like Kelli to represent us on the Board of Education will ensure that our children will continue to have success. Because of her extensive volunteer leadership and hands-on involvement in our schools,
she understands what parents want: excellent teachers, manageable class sizes, appropriate technology, modern facilities, and open communication. We are voting for Kelli Horst on Nov. 4 because she shares our philosophy that a community cannot reach its potential, economically and culturally, without an unwavering commitment to public education. Kelli will be a champion of Clarkston schools. We owe it to ourselves as parents, property owners, and local business owners to invest in the future and elect Kelli Horst to the Clarkston Board of Education.

“Every time we play them it’s tight,” said Coach Kelly Pinner. “We knew we had to win this to be league champs but we still have three to go.” The Lady Wolves lost the first two games ga mes 25-21 and 25-22. Then, they headed into the third game which they started out behind. Lake Orion continued to put distance in the scoreboard as they built onto their lead. Clarkston fought back with two runs both with six points. The first run tied the game 12-12 with a close save from senior hitter Emily Malinowski. The second run accumulated from a block from junior Maggie Collins and kills from senior Taylor Dellinger and freshman Abbey Malinowski. They finished the game 25-18. “Wee started off a little slow and we picked “W it up in the end,” Dellinger said. “W “Wee never stopped fighting that was the difference. We We never gave up.

The trail is a 1/2 mile walk on 230 acres on Waterford Wa terford Road in Independence Township. We continue on, and come upon a blazing fire, made to warm the bones of those who dare to enter the forest. Spooky stories fill the air. As we wait for our guide to tell us it’s go time, we hear rumors of the monster living in Townsend Lake. He is a downright evil, and uglier than anything you have ever seen. Terror Chairman Carmen Mancini warns it’s no good to fight the monster, for the harder yo u fight, the deeper he takes you into the lake. We get ready to go, and r ealize we are walkin g with a group of a dozen already scared teenage girls.

It’s actually a family-friendly event. “Wee have a lot of families, church groups and “W schools,” said volunteer Larry Dean. Prices are $12 for adults and $7 for kids 12 and under. After walking through the forest for quite a long while, everyone traveling the trail with our group reach the conclusion paying the ticket is well worth it. Mancini said the committee worked hard to ensure the trail was both fun and affordable. Although staff at the forest have made sure visitors will feel scared, everyone is safe. “No one can touch you," said Mincini. A committee of all volunteers have been planning the event since springtime. Actors working the event are volunteers too, and often earn service hours doing working for the non-profit. Mancini estimates there hundreds of volunteers. For more information, visit www.ocsclub.org.

Take a Taste of Clarkson: Then & Now! By Penny Shanks, Executive Director for the Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce and Kelly Hyer, Recreation Supervisor for Independence Township It looks so easy!
Didbegins you know that planning forThis the event in January every year? collaborative event is led primarily by the Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce and Independence Township Parks, Recreation and Seniors, but includes additional support by the City of the Village of Clarkston, Independence Fire and Oakland County Sheriff’s Department. Each of the host partners champions a specific area that’s critical to the event. Besides staff, over 300 volunteers help make this event happen. This year’s volunteer T-shirts logo design was done by Union Adworks. Every volunteer receives a T-shirt T-shirt as a thank you and each year the t he logo design changes. Remember when? Taste of Clarkston began in the parking lot at Washington and Main Street, with less than 10 restaurants. restaurants. Perhaps the most challenging year was 2001, when our event took place less than a week after the attacks on 9/11. 9/11. Downtown roads and sidewalks were still torn up due to major infrastructure repairs and the mood of the country was one of grief and anxiety. Independence Fire brought their ladder truck in and with a spotlight on their giant American Flag, the event went forward. It was perhaps the most most moving moving Taste Taste of Clarkston we ever had. Moving the event to Main Street in 2004 was a huge undertaking, involving the closure of a State highway for an entire e ntire day. 6am-9 pm was the longest window we were able to get approved and that was only done after a viable detour was established for emergency vehicles and other traffic. Moving forward. Taste of Clarkston continues to be a well-loved event. It can sometimes be a fiscally challenging event for all involved, as are all large outdoor events, due to the unpredictability of the weather. This year 35 restaurants participated in Taste Taste of Clarkston. Restaurants do not pay for their boot booths hs at Taste, but DO profi profitt share on the tickets redeemed at their booths. A percentage percentage of every every ticket ticket colcol-
lected goes to offset the overhead expenses of mar penses market keting ing and adv advert ertisi ising, ng, equ equipipment rentals, staff, entertainment, liability insurance, shuttle buses, signage and more. Each year, exciting things to see and do are added to the event. Did you happen to see the stilt walker? walker? Depot Street Street Arts sponsored a “chalk art” area right on Washington allowing kids of all ages to let out some creativity! “It was a fantastic and fun event, and we hope to make it aCouture, little bigger next year” Denyse Free Art Friday in says, Clarkston and Depot Street Arts. Talented artists such as Audrey Ray, wowed the crowd with a stellar performance. Who’s the winner? The real winner is all of us. Carol Eberhardt, Clarkston City Manager expressed it best, best, “It has become become more than just goin going g to have fun and eat; it has grow grown n to a happy homecoming for many area families.” As for the food judging, the top ticket seller of the day is called our People’s Choice Winner and is the most coveted of all our awards. All judging is done online now, starting a few days before the event. Once again the hands down favorite is The Clarkston Union! The Clarkston Union is the #1 booth every year for 17 nearly 20% of all tickets sold at the Taste years running. Between the Union and of Clarkston. That’s a lot of Mac and the Woodshop, Union Joints commands Cheese, Pulled Pork and Porkers!

the 4-H grounds at 12451 Andersonville Road, from 7-11 p.m. “We’re “W e’re planning on 14,000-square-feet of foot-stompin’ and boot-scootin,’ ” said CCHS President Jen Arkwright. “Ever since the barn was relocated, people have been telling us it would be perfect for a barn dance, and so now, now, they’ll have the chance.” Country music and food will add to the t he fun of the first annual event. Leg shakers and movers can line dance to live music by th e Ol de Mi ch ig an Ru ff wa te r Stringband. Ticket prices include dinner, dancing and one drink. Each year, the Ellis Barn is used for a variety of events including the 4-H Fair. After the Hoedown, line dancing can be added to its history. Ellis Barn is filled with history. History buffs can have fun while appreciating appreciating an important piece of the area’s past, Arkwright said. “The grand barn, with its gambrel roof, was part of the Ingomar Stock Farm, owned by Norman J. Ellis, and is the only Michigan barn referenced in the nationally renowned book 'The American Barn,'" the society president said. The huge barn includes an indoor riding arena, 11 box stalls, tack rooms, an office, horse exercise room, mechanical exercise ring and a cavernous second floor to store and straw. Afterhay the Ellis Barn was built in 1884, several generations owned and worked in the barn. After the original property the barn was located on was sold for residential development, the historic barn was moved to its current location in Springfield Oaks County Park. “It’s going to be an exciting evening in the barn,” said Arkwright. “And a rare and wonderful opportunity to experience this historic gem right in our own backyard.” Attendees must be 21 and older. Tickets are $55 per person, and include a barbecue dinner by the Union Woodshop. Ticket prices include one drink. A cash bar will include a selection of Michigan craft beers and wines. Proceeds benefit the Clarkston Community Historical Society and the Clarkston Heritage Museum, organizations which collect, perserve and showcase area history. – Andrea Beaudoin

During the first three months of her service, which started in September, Rawe will live with a host family to learn the local language and integrate into local culture. She will then be sworn into service and assigned assigned to a community in Nepal where she will serve for two years. “I feel it is important to give back, because I know I have received so much help and support in my life that has enabled me to achieve what I have,” Rawe said. Rawe is the daughter of Jean and Steve Rawe of Clarkston, and a 2010 graduate of Clarkston High School. She graduated in May 2014 from Michigan State University

Playoffs clinched BY WENDI REARDON
Clarkston News Sports Writer Clarkston's gridiron heroes clinched a playoff spot last Friday night with their 37-20 win over Troy Athens. The varsity football team celebrated with a chant after the game, but longtime head coach Kurt Richardson saw something else during the game – an opportunity to improve especially after the first half. “We made too many mistakes, penalties and put the ball on the ground,” he reflected as the boys headed to the locker room. “Our focus is to win but you’ve got to get better.
