REED CITY When the
Osceola Inn was demolished
after more than 130 years of
existence, it had enough time to
inspire a body of paranormal
tales old buildings seem to col-

From unexplained sounds,
shifting shadows, and secret
rooms that looked like they
hadnt been touched for a hun-

active, and the hotel continues
to exert a force upon Reed City

In 2005, a team of paranormal
investigators with the help of

the hotels spirits, arriving at

up to a successful start to

to join Michigan
Main Street
program
By Alexander Sinn
Weekly Voice
EVARTThe Evart Downtown Develop-
ment Authority is seeking community sup-
port to become a Michigan Main Street, join-
ing a program to preserve the towns history
while promoting development.
One of three applicants in the state of
Michigan, which participates in the national
program, Evart will need to demonstrate the
support of businesses and community mem-
bers, who would volunteer to bring restora-
tion and economic vitality to Evart.
Michigan Main Street would continue eco-
nomic progress made in recent years, DDA
Director Al Weinberg said.
Theres a lot of momentum in town, he
said. Shopping numbers are up, storefronts
are being filled.
Were very confident that this strategy
will help us grow even more while still help-
ing us keep our authenticity of an historic
small town.
The city added renovations through a
grant in 2014, improving infrastructure and
adding 13 gardens and a park. Downtown
events have helped draw residents to local
businesses, Weinberg said, including an art
festival this summer and the Main Street
Fall Festival, Monster Mash and Christmas
Carnival.
The city is seeking financial pledges to
demonstrate community support, which
Weinberg said has been shown during down-
town events in the past.
We have a lot of great support from in-
dustry and private citizens, as well as busi-
nesses in town, he said.

Evart Public Works recognized for
empowering individuals with disabilities
By Alexander Sinn
Weekly Voice
EVARTThe Evart Public Works
Department was recognized in Lan-
sing on Thursday for providing work
opportunities to students with dis-
abilities.
The department has partnered
with Michigan Rehabilitation Ser-
vices in recent years, which nomi-
nated the department for the state
recognition.
Evart Public Schools students with
a range of disabilities participated
in an eight-week program this sum-
mer in the downtown area, Public
Works Director Mark Wilson said.
Students weeded and watered flow-
er beds and completed other tasks to
enhance the downtown, Wilson said.
Students in the program have also
helped rebuild a flower bed at the
Evart City Police Department and
painting fences, buildings and sig-
nage, and flagged parking areas for
the Fourth of July fireworks display.

Schwalm Farms, of
Reed City, joined the more
than 2,300 farms in the
state recognized by the
Michigan Agriculture En-
vironmental Assurance
Program for observing
state and federal environ-
mental guidelines.
The voluntary certifica-
tion process is based on
the evaluation of a farm
in four areas: farmstead,
cropping, livestock and
forest and wetland pres-
ervation. Although some
farms get certification in
one or two of these areas,
Schwalm Farms was cer-
