Foul play ruled out in target

practice shooting death
REED CITY — The Osceola
County Sheriff ’s Department has
ruled out foul play in a shooting
death of an Osceola County man

based on the results of the medi-
cal examiner’s report.
According to the Osceola
County Sheriff ’s Office,deputies
were dispatched to a residence
in Lincoln Township on Friday,
April 26.
The 40-year-old man was said
to have sustained serious inju-
ries to his head while involved in
target practice with a handgun.
The man was flown by heli-
copter for medical treatment. He
died after arriving at the hospi-
tal.

Search for
missing Evart
teen schedule
to resume
May 7
By Victoria Martin
Weekly Voice
EVART — After post-
poning several searches
for a 15-year-old who fell
through the ice earlier this
year, the search is sched-
uled to start up again.
Dylan Shaw fell through
the ice on the Muskegon
River in February. Due to
weather and unsafe river
conditions, the search had
been called off twice.
Osceola County was set
to restart the search on
Tuesday, May 7, according
to the Osceola County Un-
dersheriff John Keathly,
and be one of their larger
search efforts.
The search will include
one to two boats with so-
nar, one with a cadaver
dog and boats from the
DNR. There will also be
groups on land to aid in the
search.
“It will mostly be a wa-
ter search,” said Keathly.
Snow days could mean school year lasts well into June
From Staff and Wire reports
EVART — Despite the
State Senate passing the
House bill to allow for
more snow days to be
forgiven, it is looking like the way to June 24.
Osceola County schools
will still be in session well year prior to Labor Day,
into June.

But as of Tuesday, the
bill that would allow

ness, though unanimously freeze led Democratic Gov.
passed, will not take effect Gretchen Whitmer to de-

year has already con-
cluded.
“This is just ridiculous,” cancellations.
said Evart Public School
District Superintendent
Shirley Howard. “If noth-

house, we will have to
make up all the days mi-

The Senate Democrats’
caveat to passing the bill
was a 90-day delay in the
bill taking effect. Meaning ically paraprofessionals,
nothing will be put into
place until August.
“It’s very unfortunate
that this bill will not
be able to help schools
pass the deal with their

Sen. Curt VanderWall in
a press release. “Because

Reed City Crossroads Theatre shifts gear

on play due to cast member illness
By Victoria Martin
Weekly Voice
REED CITY — After illness struck
an actor, the Reed City Crossroads
Theatre postponed Driving Miss
Daisy performances and will put on
another play in its place.
It was announced on the theater’s
Facebook page that there was an
emergency recast needed for the role
of Hoke, originally to be played by
Richard Locke, after Locke suffered
a stroke and was no longer able to
perform, said Director David Ball.
Unable to find an African-Amer-
ican male actor to fill the role, the
theater decided to postpone the play
at the guilds’ April 22 meeting until
spring of 2020 and in its place per-
form A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters.
While the play is on the agenda
to be put on next year, Ball said he
would be holding auditions in Janu-
ary for the second go-around of Driv-
ing Miss Daisy.
“The original cast is more than
welcome to come and audition again.
But a year is a long way out and
things come up,” said Ball. “If I put
all my eggs in this basket, I run the
risk of someone not being able to do
it again and putting the play in the
same situation.”
Though he was unable to fulfill his
role in the 2019 spring production,
Locke does plan on coming back and
auditioning for the role in 2020, said
Ball.
“We just got off the phone with
(Locke) today and said he has every
intention in coming back for next
season,” Ball said.
Taking Daisy’s place, Love Letters
follows the story of two individuals
Melissa Gardner, played by Melissa
Langworthy, and Andrew Make-
peace Ladd III, played by Gerald
Langworthy. The pair are childhood
sweethearts who stay in touch over
the course of 50 years.
Love Letters, directed by Ball, will
be performed on May 24 through
May 26 and June 1 and June 2.
