is training to get physically fit
for a competition that will push
his body to its limits American Ninja Warrior.
Competition is what drives
me, so I was looking for something that would be fun and that
would also provide an aspect
of competition, Johnson said.
While watching American
Ninja Warrior last summer, it
dawned on me that Ninja Warrior was the answer. Ive been
having a blast training and
competing ever since then.
The Reed City native has
been training for more than a
year for the competition, even
constructing his own home obstacle course.
I do a lot of calisthenics,
weight training, hand-balancing, bar workouts, balance,
slack line and gymnastic
rings, he said.
Johnson has also trained for
the competition by competing
in ninja competitions throughout the Midwest.
Ive placed top 10 both times
I have competed at the XT
Fitness Ninja Showdown in
Findlay, Ohio, and placed top
five both times Ive competed
in Rockford Ninja Warrior,
Johnson said. In both events,
I was competing against people
who are in the show this year
and or have been on in previous
seasons.
Among the obstacles Johnson, 26, races through are quintuple steps, a 17-foot warped
wall climb and a salmon ladder.
The goal for me is to increase my strength-to-bodyweight ratio, Johnson said.
Having muscular endurance
is also huge considering the
regional qualifiers are six obstacles.
Applying for the TV competition will require submitting an
application and a submission

cism. It will be the second time
Johnson has applied for the
competition.
The show follows competitors
tackling a series of obstacle
courses in qualifying and final
rounds across the country.
Competitors who complete the
finals round in their region

compete in Las Vegas for the

national finals round. In Las
Vegas, competitors attempt to
tackle a four-stage course modeled after Mount Midoriyama
for a grand prize of $1 million.
No competitor has yet achieved
total victory on the course.
Johnson plans to submit an

application for the 2016 season

of American Ninja Warrior.
If Im not selected, Ive decided that this year I am going
to camp out in the walk-on line
and hope to get a chance to
walk on and run the course at
whichever regional is closest to
Michigan, Johnson said.

What is it?

Did you guess correctly?

Then open a bottle of bubbly to celebrate!
While upon a casual
quick glance they may
have appeared to be the
yet-to-be-installed eyes
of a puppet or teddy bear,
they are not. The two
handheld items are the
plastic corks from champagne; although to be
more precise (and, indeed,
accurate) they are from
sparkling wine.
What most of us casually refer to as champagne
isnt champagne at all. It
may bubble like it. It may
have an alcohol content
identical to champagne.
It may be made from elite
grapes harvested in the
most ideal of soil, water,
elevation, and sunshineto-fog ratios. But legally
if those grapes were
not grown in the precise
northeastern region of the
country of France called
Champagne (between
Paris and the country of
Belgium), then it is merely
sparkling wine. And yet
there is an exception,

thanks to an historical
twist.
The Treaty of Versailles which ended WWI
(and was never technically signed by the United
States) included a clause
protecting Frances claim
to the term champagne.
In the current era, so as
not to ruffle too many
French feathers, many
modern American winemakers have stuck to the
curtesy term sparkling
wine. But vintner Korbel
has long argued that they
have used the word champagne for over a century
and therefore have no hesitation to continue proudly
using it on their label.
The final twist: nine
years ago an agreement
was signed between the
U.S. and the European
Union which promises
that we wont permit any
new sparkling wine bottlers to use the magic
champagne word.
Back to corks themselves. While plastic ones
are hailed for never crum- upon opening, and for not
bling into the wine bottle
drying out if you forget to

Do you know what you

are missing?

that cork corks are compliments of trees?

The cork itself (whether
used for bottling or corkboards or trivets) is literally the thick outer bark
which is carefully peeled
off of a cork oak tree. It
is said that when done at
the right time of year, it
actually invigorates the
tree and boosts its overall
health. It is hard to disbelieve that theory once one
realizes that these oaks
in cork groves live 200
years. A tree must be at
least 25 to have its first
bark harvest. But for the
quality of cork needed
for wine bottling the tree
must be about 40 years
old (and it is apparently
important that within that
40 year span, two harvests
for non-wine-production
have been made in order to
strengthen the trees cork
cells to the acceptable superior level).

store the bottle horizontally as we are instructed

to do by all the fine winemakers did you know

Turns out there is no

cork-popping this week, no
one contacted us with the
correct answer.

ground, and listened to the
eternal clatter of solemn
looking venders of nickknacks, mounted on dry
goods boxes, etc.
We have done all these
things more fully, more
thoroughly and more scientifically than any other
editor in Manistee, and
therefore we feel free to say
that we can tell our readers more than any other
ink-slinger that visited the
show.
Among the exhibits at
the Manistee County Fair
was an immense apple
show. Some variety of
apples entered were: Yellow Belleflower, Bailey
Sweets, Spitzenburgs, Ben
Davis, Golden Sweet, Sweet
Bough, Saps of Wine,
Roxbury Russett, Calvert,
Jonathan, Stark, Snow,
King of Tompkins, Autumn Strawberry, Maiden
Blush, St. Lawrence, Washington Strawberry, Red
Stripe, Hulbert Striped,
Primate, Baldwins, Wagner, Chenango, Duchess
of Oldenburgh, Summer
Queen, Tallman Sweet,
Jeresy Sweet, Fall Pippin,
Rhode Island Greening,
and Northern Spy apples.

Canned good entries

included: red raspberries,
green corn, packages of
maple sugar, apple and
strawberry jelly, canned
strawberries, plums, tomatoes, beans, onions,
pickles, crabapples, cranberries, dried apples, dried
sweet corn and one bottle
of catsup.
In the Fancy Department, the following was inventoried; Crochet work in
lambrequins, sofa pillows,
chair tidies, bed spreads,
quilts, blankets, three rolls
of very handsome rag
carpet, rugs, cotton embroidery, wool mittens, and
stockings, scarfs, dolls, a
crazy piece of silk patchwork quilts.
The October 2, 1885 issue
of the Reed City Clarion
recounts the fair festivities in Evart, Our 11th
county fair held at Evart
this week. Fine display of
Jersey and Durham cattle,
horses, sheep, swine, fowls,
etc. Handsome variety of
fruit.
On Wednesday morning, a Clarion reporter
visited Evart to take in
the fair and see what was
there. He found a finer
display of blooded and
thoroughbred stock than
could be found in any older
counties, and especially
the herd of Jersey cattle
belong in to A. Sawyer and
a herd of Durhams belonging to J. A. Lunny of Evart.
The horses, sheep,
swine, fowls, etc., were all

very fine and goes to show

that Osceola County will
rank clear up near the
head so far as stock is concerned.
In fruits, such as apples,
pears, plums, and the more
hardy fruits, there was
very flattering show. The
vegetable hall, as compared to former years, was
not a success, as was also
the floral hall. What articles were exhibited here,
however, were exceedingly
fine.
R. Johns, of Evart,
made a decidedly fine
incredible display of wagons, carriages, cutters,
and sleighs all made by
hand; as did also the Evart
hardware company. W. M.
Lambert and T. H. Peacock
of Reed City, made their
usual creditable display.
Mr. Lambert with yarn,
flannels, and woolen goods
proved beyond doubt that
the Reed City Woolen Mills
were capable of turning
out first class work. Mr.
Peacock had a display of
door and window frames,
brackets, etc., which as
usual were fine specimens
of work. In fact, it seems as
though other manufacturers are afraid to compete
with Mr. Peacocks work.
Some of the entries listed at the Osceola County
Fair were: J.A. Lunny, thoroughbred bull, 4 year old
cow, 2 year old heifer, 1 year
old heifer; T.R. Johns three
wagons, one open buggy,
one pair of bobs, one cut-

ter; P. Rosser, five pounds

of butter; A.A. Manning,
one stand of roadsters, 3
years old, three organs,
one set of parlor furniture, and six pieces willow
ware; A. G. Tennant, one
plate of Lumbard plums,
one of snow apples, one
plate of crab apples, one
peck of Clawson wheat;
O. H. Carus, two Galloway
heifers, one peck of beets,
one peck of carrots, one
quilt by child under 14
years of age; A. B. Knapp
one brood mare, one year
old colt and one stallion 4
years old; S. D. Cole, one
coop of Dark Brahmas, one
coop of Plymouth Rock,
two Washington squashes,
childs afghan; Obadiah
Lloyd, jersey sow pig 4
months old, jersey boar
pig 4 months old, stallion;
C. V. Priest 2 year old boar,
2 year old cow, colt 3 years
old, heifer 3 years old, peck
of Egyptian wheat, peck
of Surprise oat, peck of
early rows potatoes, peck
of white elephant potatoes,
peck of longhorn carrots,
peck of beets; Frank Stein,
coop of white leghorns,
coop of silver hamburgs,
coop of black games, coop
of bantams; Stewart N.
Stoddard, coop of white
leghorn fowls, two coops
white leghorn chicks,
brown leghorn chicks, pekin ducks, coop of bronze

Open admission shelter avoids euthanasia

By Andy Duffy

REED CITY Although

the countys animal
shelter accepts animals
regardless of their health
or temperament, personnel there hope to place
all healthy or treatable
animals up for adoption,
Osceola Countys animal
control director told the
county commissioners at
Tuesdays meeting.
By not euthanizing animals that have a chance
of being adopted, the
county meets the standard of care typically provided in the community,
Michelle Kuz said.
Shelter personnel recognize several categories of
animals. Healthy animals
are dogs and cats at least
eight weeks of age that

Animals are considered treatable if they

Im not trying to create a hard time here. I just

expect things to be done right.
Jim Holihan
Evart resident

By Andy Duffy
Weekly Voice

EVART Evart
resident Jim Holihan
criticized the manner in
which the city replaced
former Evart mayor Eric
Schmidt.
At the Evart City
Council July 20 meeting,
Schmidt resigned and the
council named Casey Keysor to replace him. The
council also chose Ralph
Carlson to fill Keysors former seat.
Holihans remarks
came before an otherwise
routine council meeting
this week. At its previous
meeting, the council held
a public hearing regarding the citys Oak Street
project. About 25 residents

attended the meeting and

filled the meeting room
nearly to its capacity. Only
about a dozen people attended the most recent
council session.
Holihan said he had no
objection to Keysor becoming mayor or Carlson
filling Keysors vacant
seat. He said the council
members acted too soon
on what they had to do.
To act in accordance
with the city charter,
Holihan said, the council
shouldnt have moved to
fill a seat until the seat
actually was vacant.
Schmidts resignation as
mayor and Keysors res-

ignation from the council

didnt become effective until midnight on July 20.
Eric should have resigned at the last meeting
and then (at the Aug. 3
meeting), the four council
members could have filled
Erics seat and appointed
Carlson. Then there would
have actually been a vacancy, Holihan said.
It is just a sticking
point. The outcome would
have been the same. But
they got the cart before the
horse on this one, I think,
he added.
Holihan, a former council member, said, Im not

time here. I just expect

things to be done right.
According to the city
charter, a vacancy exists
in an elective office when
an officer files his resignation.
Saying the charters
wording is vague and
can be interpreted in
different ways, Evarts
city attorney, Jim White,
defended the councils
action. He said he knows
of no reason why the
council needed to wait to
select someone to fill an
upcoming vacancy. Employers dont wait until an
employee has left to start
looking for a replacement
worker, White said. The
seats werent filled, White
added, until after the vacancies occurred.
Keysor and Carlson
were sworn in Tuesday,
July 21. Both were present
at Tuesdays meeting and
Keysor presided.

also gave the emergency

medical services department permission to spend
$97,345 to acquire another
ambulance.
The department will
retire an older ambulance
in its fleet. The department had planned to
replace the ambulance in
2016, EMS director Jeremy Beebe told the commissioners.
An opportunity to acquire one at a less-thananticipated cost spurred
the decision to act now.
The money for the ambulance will come from an
EMS fund balance.

Some feral cats will fall

into the unhealthy and
untreatable category.
Shelter personnel do not
necessarily believe a cat
is unable to be saved just
because it falls in the unhealthy and untreatable
category, however.
By working to save
healthy and treatable animals, shelter personnel
are meeting the standard
of care typically provided
in the community and
are hoping to better serve
the residents of Osceola
County, Kuz said.
The Osceola County
Board of Commissioners

egory, an animal cannot

pose a significant risk to
human health or safety or
to the health or safety of
other animals.
Adoptable animals are
those that have shown
no sign of a behavioral,
temperamental or health
defect that could pose a
risk or make the animal
unsuitable for placement
as a pet. Dogs that are old,
deaf, blind, disfigured
or disabled may still be
adoptable, Kuz said.
Animals not considered
suitable for adoption and
that shelter personnel
believe cannot be rehabilitated include those
younger than eight weeks
of age when impounded,
those that have a behavioral or temperamental
defect, those that pose
a health or safety risk.
