The funds came in the form of two grants.
The largest grant, $1,900, comes from the Great Lakes Energy People Fund. The clinic is planning on spending the funds on two major pieces of equipment. One is a multifunctional printer. This will allow us to send and receive clearer medical correspondences between other health care facilities, said Cindy Watkins, the office coordinator and director at the Stehouwer Free Clinic, in a letter announcing the grants.
The second piece of equipment that the clinic will purchase with funds from the Great Lakes Energy People Fund is an illumination system and disposable vaginal specula system, which will help physicians perform lighted pelvic exams when needed.
Gaylord City Police Dept. Welcomes First K-9 Officer
May 6, 2021
The Gaylord City Police Department got an extra special addition to their force on Tuesday, a new K-9 Officer named Zero.
“Ever since I got into law enforcement a couple years ago, it’s been a huge thing I’ve wanted to do,” said K-9 Officer Daniel Goertz, Zero’s handler. “Having someone that’s able to go do stuff that we’re not able to do is a big factor and it helps us do our job.”
Officer Zero comes from Northern Michigan K9, Inc, who trains dogs to become K-9 Officers. He and Officer Goertz spent the month of April training side by side before Zero came in for his first day on the job.
