{V\011 Orval Cutshaw led road commission well for 22 years HROUGH HEAVY SNOWS AND DUSTY ROADS, OR· val Cutshaw steered the Emmet County Road Commis Tsion down the right path for the past 22 years. We wish him well as he heads into retirement. Hardly anyone called him Orval. Cutty it was, to friend and foe alike. Though being engi neer manager for a road com mission can earn you the displeasure of many people, Cutty never seemed to let it get to him. There were plenty of battles he faced. Some of the more recent in cluded the changes in Brutus Road, the question of paving Lower Shore Drive near Har bor Springs and a siltation problem on Maple River Road that raised the anger of area trout fishers. Through it all Cutshaw tried to keep the problem in perspec· tive, get it solved, and never letting the weight of it get him down - or anger him. Orval Cutshaw On visits to this office - often after his morning mail pickup - he would often drop a news tip off at the desk of re· porters or editors. As he'd visit, and the ominous clouds of winter with their threat of snow began to appear in the fall sky, his pat response to whether his plow drivers would be ready was always the same.

Late last year, Boyne USA Inc. renewed its request to have the T',., road commission close the roads to the public. Brutus Road runs right through a new golf course under construction at the highlands. The proposed abandonment have stirred up opposition from many people, ranging from snowmobilers to horseback riders, sportsmen and cross country skiers. Many people said they were concerned about the loss of Brutus Road as a prime access route to acres of state land. ------ .. MAY 21984 Closure Hearing Friday A public hearing will be held on the proposed partial abandonment of Brutus and Hedrick roads in Pleasantview Township, at 10 a.m. Friday, May 4, before the Emmet County Road Commis sion, 1000 Charlevoix Ave., Petoskey. Boyne USA Inc. petitioned the road commission March 9 proposing the abandonment. Boyne USA made the request because it plans to build the first of three planned 18-hole golf courses near Boyne Highlands. Boyne has requested abandonment of the por tion of Brutus Road generally west from Pleasant view Road to Hedrick Road, and also one-half mile north along Hedrick Road.

The road closings are being sought by Boyne USA, which is seeking the closure to construct a golf course. The firm owns property on both sides of Brutus Road and Hedrick Road. Some of the land was purchased from private property owners, while the remainder was acquired from the State of Michigan. "We expect a full house for the meeting," said road commission engi neer/manager Orval Cutshaw. Cutshaw said the commission, which meets at 9 a.m. in the commission garage on Charlevoix Avenue in Petoskey, would probably set a public hearing on any abandonment plans. Some area residents have opposed the abandonment, notably Doris Sarns, who uses Brutus Road for horseback riding, and neighbor Jerry Ma lec. Neighbors contend Brutus Road is used extensively by berry and mush room pickers, snowmobilers and cross country skiers, and other outdoor en thusiasts, to get to state land.

At a March 23 meeting, Boyne USA offered to construct a new one mile, two-track road along the west ern boundary of its property to pro vide access to state land but hit some snags when engineers re viewed the area where the road would be constructed. The original alternate route was proposed along section lines but due to terrain will have to take a differ ent, curving route, Boyne General Manager Art Tebo explained. Road commission Engineer-Man ager Orval Cutshaw agreed that the road could not be built on the section line. The proposed course of the new road will be marked by Wednesday, May 9, for road commissioners to review, Tebo said. Doris Sams, nearby property owner, proposed a different route paralleling the western boundary of the planned golf course. Tebo said Boyne would review Mrs. Sarns' proposal. Cutshaw said if the alternate route cannot be constructed there would be no abandonment.

STANLEY A late May date is seen for the first production of alcohol for use in county vehicles at the Emmet County Airport as a pilot power alcohol project is progressing well at that facility. Ray Thompson, manager of the airport and overseer of the project, reports that the still is under construction, "and we are doing quite well with it." The project will see corn being distilled to alcohol, which will then be combined with gasoline and diesel fuel to power the plows and other equipment at the airport. The project is funded by a $2,500 grant from Michigan State University, and has the support of the county Board of Commissioners. "The acquisition of some of our materials has been hwnorous," Thompson relates, noting that the distillation towers for the units are diesel truck exhaust stacks. "This is definitely a homemade operation," he said. Work on the still is to be completed by the end of this week. "Our holdup right now is a building to put the still in,". Thompson indicates. "The commissioners have given their nod of approval to the project, but now we need funding for the building." He felt work could begin in two weeks on the building, which could also house sand for use on the airport's runways. "I would hope to see the first product come off the line in May, probably the very end of May," Thompson related. Working on the project with Thompson are Duane Pretzer of Alanson, who did the welding on the still, and David Brill of Brutus. The still will utilize corn, with the byproduct being fed to cattle to determine if it is usable for feed.
