Clarkston Fire Department There was a lot of wind and movement on moving day Saturday at the Corales Puntacana Championship but Joel Dahmen remained consistent while others scaled the leaderboard in both directions Dahmen entered the third round with a four-stroke lead and exited with a three-shot edge after a solid 1-under-par 71 at Corales Golf Course in the Dominican Republic The Clarkston native had two bogeys early – his first of the tournament – and three overall but swiftly bounced back with birdies each time “Settled in nicely and I think it showed on the back nine.” He stuck his approach from 88 yards to 5 feet and made the putt for another birdie on No got it on the green from 280 (yards out) to the front,” Dahmen said especially because the last three holes were brutal today Another key for Dahmen on the closing nine was saving par with nifty up-and-downs on Nos He had a tap-in for par after nearly holing out from the sand on 17 but the chip shot wasn’t nearly as difficult as the earlier ones Dahmen went with a regular golf hat instead of the bucket hat he usually wears as strong winds bumped the third-round scoring average to 71.9 compared to calmer conditions Friday (71.3) and Thursday (69.6) Dahmen still managed to hit 13 of 14 fairways and he’s hit 88.1% (37 of 42) through three rounds Dahmen’s putting wasn’t as hot as the first two rounds when he had 16 birdies but he made a handful of 4- to 5-footers that kept him atop the leaderboard after competitors had pulled within one stroke “You can’t let down on one shot,” Dahmen said it’s not just point and shoot like it was the first couple days This was just a full grind and I handled it pretty well.” Dahmen’s 17-under 199 matched the tournament record for the lowest 54-hole total Chan Kim (69) and Michael Thorbjornsen (70) are three shots off the lead Higgo got to 15 under after a birdie on No but the South African three-putted for bogey on No Thorbjornsen birdied three of the first four holes to reach 15 under before dropping out of the top 10 with double bogeys on No He finished strongly with a 3-under 33 on the back nine Vince Whaley fired a 66 – the low round of the day – to join Jeremy Paul (67) and Ben Martin (67) four strokes behind Dahmen Dahmen will sleep on the lead for the third straight night He opened with a course-record 62 and added a 66 on Friday He’s

it's not just a place for people to live It really is a foundation for people to make changes in their life for them to support and achieve their goals," Mallahan said the first building will have available units in 12 months and completion of the whole development is set for 15 months By on April 9, 2025No Comment   , Wolves crush Falcons in season opener added by on April 9, 2025View all posts by Wendi Reardon → 2025Anti-Trump/Musk rallies planned for Clarkston PullmanLewiston TribuneThis screenshot shows the locations of "Hands Off" protests scheduled for today throughout the Lower 48 states as of Friday evening.handsoff2025.com“Hands Off” protests will take place in Clarkston Pullman and Moscow today as part of nationwide demonstrations against moves by President Donald Trump and his adviser Elon Musk to cut social programs and reduce the size of the federal government and at noon at both Cougar Plaza in Pullman and along the 500 block of Bridge Street in Clarkston Protests are planned in cities and towns in all 50 states and are expected to number more than 1,200 in total According to the group Indivisible that is organizing the events more than 400,000 people have signed up to attend the rallies More information on the movement is available at handsoff2025.com By on January 15, 2025No Comment David Walter Belch of Clarkston passed away peacefully surrounded by family and dear friends on January 12 Son of Walter and Stella Belch and brother to Patricia and Jimmy loving father of David Belch and Nancy (Keith) Cox grandfather of Kayla (Priscilla) Grace and brother to John Belch but eventually became his career as a long time designer at General Motors Dave enjoyed attending auto shows and watching classic cars at the Woodward Dream Cruise He also had a fascination with model trains as a child One particular Lionel set was a family favorite and could be found circling the family Christmas tree for many years fixer of all things squeaky or broken and a family caretaker His family and close friends knew him for his exhausting particularness of food quality and preparation In his early years you could find him delighting over a meal of sardines and white bread topped with cold butter and hot peppers pickled pigs feet or savoring a bowl of Czarnina (duck blood soup) at the Polish Village Cafe and Nancy were still living at home he introduced them to the Detroit Jazz Festival but would take his family to Port Huron to eat KFC while watching the freighters pass underneath the Blue Water Bridge and even took his family there for their 50th wedding anniversary He was a golf hobbyist but had zero other interest in sports Dave was a fixer of all things;
