April Brings Late Winter Storm With Gusts of 60 MPH...and...St. Paul Men's Club Sponsors Saturday Night Boxing Fights From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook April 4, 2019

  
CAPTION: Lashed by gale force winds, an arctic blast of frigid temperatures and blowing
snow took an icy slice out of April as a late winter storm chilled most of Michigan, 
including Onaway.  The flagpole at the hospital was bent over after the strong winds, 
clocking at 60 mph, blew through.  According to unofficial reports, gust often hit more
than 80 mph. the mobile home at the Onaway airport was flipped on its top and severely
damaged.  It has been used as an airport office.  In other Onaway news, Saturday night
fights were held in Onaway.  One of the winners was Neil Morgan, who put away his Grayling
opponent in the second round in the 168-pound class.  Onaway's boxing season was a good
one and the five-out-of-eight wins is typical for its performance, said Al Grzesikowski.
The even was sponsored by the St. Paul Men's Club and held at Onaway High School.  The ring
was on loan from Hillman.  There was hope that profits from ticket sales would provide
enough to purchase a new ring.
