Jay Poffenberger Retires From Presque Isle County Cooperative Extention...and...Discussion of Re-Opening of Shoepac Lake Access From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook May 17, 2018

  
CAPTION: Jay Poffenberger, retired Presque Isle County Coperative Extension director, was 
feted by more than 100 friends at his retirement banquet conducted in Onaway's St. Paul Catholic
Church Community Hall. Extension associates from the local, district, regional and state levels 
were present as were the members of the Soil Conservation Service for whom Poffenberger worked 
before his years with the extension service. Poffenberger was in the extension service for years 
working in Oakland, Chippewa and Presque Isle counties.  Prior to that time, he was employed by 
the Soil Conservation Service in Flint and the Soo.  In other Onaway News, local, district and 
regional Michigan Department of Natural Resources personnel met with Willard Schaedig, superintendent 
of the Presque Isle Road Commission, at Shoepac Lake and discussed re-opening the recently closed 
access road from north of the lake. After the 1976 closing many objections were heard from those 
who had previously used the route.
