Ports: Blue Devils Fare Well at Lansing

By Mike Dunn
LANSING The Gaylord

softball team of coach Abe
Cruz didnt exactly start out
Saturdays tournament in
Lansing on the best of notes,
losing to a very good Mason
team by a 13-3 score and
making some costly errors
along the way.
After that, though, it was
an entirely different story.
The Blue Devils suddenly put
it all together in a big way
and it was impressive for
Cruz to see as his girls
absolutely drilled the ball all
over the diamond, posting a
19-3 win over Lansing Everett
and a 16-5 win over Lansing
Waverly.
The girls are learning a lot
and starting to come togeth-
er and play pretty well, Cruz
said. We were a little nerv-
ous in the first game with
Mason but even in that one
we stayed with them for four
innings before we made
some key errors. Then we
came back and played really
great against the two Lansing
teams.
Hard-throwing senior Ally
Sobeck was super in the cir-
cle against Everett and
Waverly, keeping opposing
hitters off stride with her
assortment of in-and-out
deliveries. In the win over
Everett, she and sophomore
Corey Starks shared the
pitching duties and served
up the sizzlers with furious
frequency.
Ally and Corey both did a
really good job, Cruz said.
We brought Corey up from
the JV and she handled her-
self very well for her first time
in varsity competition.
At the plate, Joslyn Rider
visited Rip City early and
often, ripping out three hits
and knocking in four of
Gaylords 19 runs. Brianna
Hartley also swung a hot bat,
knocking in two runs with
two hits, and Sobeck
slammed a pair of hits and
knocked in two. Sydney
Kassuba, Caroline Smith and
Lauren Hintz also had hits for
the Blue Devils and Hintz
also drew two walks.
In the rout of Waverly,
Sobeck had the fire flowing
like fluid acid as she struck
out eight befuddled Waverly
batters.
Sobeck continued her
assault on enemy pitching as
well, connecting for three
more hits and two more RBIs.
Cierra Woods was in Whack
Mode also, walloping three
hits with three RBIs, and
Kassuba cracked three more
hits also.
In the first game with
Mason, Sobeck stroked two
hits and knocked in two of
Gaylords three runs. For the
day, the sweet-swinging
Sobeck was a sheer terror at
the plate as she smashed out
a dizzying eight hits with
eight RBIs.
Cruz was happy with the
effort he saw in his players
and especially the way the
girls responded after the
opening defeat.
We ended up in fourth
place out of eight teams and,
considering the downstate
competition, that was a good
showing, he said. Were
starting to put things togeth-
er defensively, which is nice
to see. The kids keep learning
and keep on improving.
Gaylord (2-3) was sched-
uled to face Big North foe
Traverse City West on
Tuesday, April 22. On
Thursday, April 24, the Blue
Devils travel north to take on
Sault Ste. Marie in a non-
league twinbill. On Saturday,
April 26, they play in a tour-
nament at Boyne City. On
Tuesday, April 29, the Blue
Devils return home to face
BNC foe Traverse City
Central.

Blue Devils fare well at Lansing
By Mike Dunn
FRANKFORT The
Mancelona baseball team of
coach Jim VanWagoner cap-
tured the invitational tourna-
ment held Saturday, April 19,
at Frankfort, defeating Elk
Rapids 9-2 in the semifinals
before outscoring the host
Panthers 13-9 in the champi-
onship game.
Two of Mancelonas veter-
an players this season, junior
catcher Cole VanWagoner
and junior Nick Balhorn,
helped fuel the offensive fire-
works against Frankfort.
VanWagoner, a three-year
starter behind center,
whacked two hits, including
a bases-loaded three-run
double, and he knocked in
four runs altogether. Balhorn
blistered three hits with an
RBI and two runs scored.
Cool Kody Pinney pitched
two innings of perfect relief
to earn the victory on the hill.
It was Farnkforts first loss
of the season after five
straight wins.
In the 9-2 win over Elk
Rapids, Balhorn blasted two
hits, including a booming
two-run double, and he con-
tinued to terrorize oppo-
nents on the base paths,
swiping three bases and scor-
ing three times. Logan Borst
also blistered the ball, lacing
a pari of hits and knocking in
two runs.
Sophomore Logan Short
had the Lo-Sho working big
time on his deliveries, befud-
dling the Elk batters through-
out the contest. Short per-
mitted just one hit in five
effective innings of work.
ON MONDAY, Mancy
opened Ski Valley play with a
10-0 shutout of Central Lake.
It was the seed-throwing
Pinney leading the defending
league champion Ironmen
on the hill, twirling a two-hit-
ter over five innings.
Griffin Borst was a beast
with runners on base, bash-
ing a pair of hits and knock-
ing in three runs.
The second game with
Central Lake was postponed
because of the wet stuff.
Mancelona (3-0, 1-0) was
scheduled to take on
Rudyard on Tuesday, April 22.
On Thursday, April 24, the
Ironmen are home against
perennial rival
Johannesburg-Lewiston in a
key early-season league
showdown. On Monday,
April 28, the Ironmen play at
Forest Area.
Onaway sweeps past
Newberry
ONAWAY The Cardinals
of coach Mike Crull earned a
pair of close wins over visit-
ing U.P. foe Newberry on
Thursday, April 17, behind
the super efficient pitching of
lefty Andrew Prow in the
opener and flame thrower
Matt Tollini in game two.
Onaway prevailed by
scores of 5-2 and 1-0.
Prow plowed through five
effective innings, striking out
five without a single walk
while permitting just three
hits and one earned run.
It was Tollini leading the
way offensively, tagging two
hits and scoring twice. Tollini
was a sheer terror on the base
paths as well, stealing three
bases. Morgan McLean laced
a timely two-run single to
help the Cardinal cause and
Ice Man Isaac Nave nailed
an RBI double.
In game two, Tollini kept
the Newberry hitters off
stride with his arsenal of
deliveries, twirling five
shutout innings and allowing
just one hit.
Tollini also had one of
Onaways three hits in the
contest. Cody Whitsitt
whacked a single and Prow
also produced a hit.
Chiefs open at
Coldwater
COLDWATER The
Cheboygan baseball team of
coach Kevin Baller opened
the 2014 season downstate
on Saturday, April 12, in a
tournament at Coldwater.
The Chiefs, who have been
struggling like so many
northern Michigan teams to
get games in during the early
portion of the campaign,
posted a 1-2 record on the
day against some pretty stiff
competition.
Cheboygan lost 13-2 in the
tourney opener to Mason
High School of Indiana, a
perennial diamond power in
the Hoosier state, before edg-
ing Fremont 4-3 in game two
and losing a tough 7-6 deci-
sion to host Coldwater in the
last of the three games.
Baller like the way his team
played overall, especially
after losing the lopsided
opener to Mason and making
some uncharacteristic errors
in that game.
Once the kids settled
down we played some pretty
good baseball, he said.
Fire-throwing hurler Zach
Socha was zoned in for the
Chiefs in the victory over
Fremont, notching 10 Ks in
the contest while permitting
just two hits.
Socha didnt just con-
tribute on the hill, however.
He also delivered the game-
winning hit, a towering RBI
double that clanged off the
fence.
Nate Stempky stroked a
pair of hits for the Chiefs in
the big win and Zack Schley
slammed an RBI double.
Bready Hiller hammered a
key hit and Jared Proctor and
Chris Demeuse each drilled a
hit as well.
Cole Williams walloped
three hits in the game against
Coldwater and was big into
piracy on the basepaths, col-
lecting three steals, and scor-
ing three times. Schley
smacked two more this and
Hiller was in hammer mode
again, banging out an RBI
double. The sweet-swinging
Socha added an RBI single
and Stempky singled and
stole a base.
In the game with Mason, it
was Josh Stempky stroking a
two-run single and Williams
whacking a hit and scoring a
run. Demeuse, who started
and took the loss on the hill,
drilled a double.
Demeuse, Proctor,
Anthony LaLonde and
Hayden Schneider shared the
pitching duties.

JOHANNESBURG On a
wet, raw afternoon, the
Johannesburg- Lewi st on
baseball team of Hall of Fame
coach Rick Guild played host
to perennial cross-county
rival St. Mary in an early-sea-
son Ski Valley twinbill. The
host Cardinals won the open-
er 4-2 before the resilient
Snowbirds of coach Matt
Nowicki came back to take
the nightcap 4-3.
In the opener, hard-throw-
ing J-L senior Coalton Huff
had the hummer working as
he navigated through the
tough St. Mary lineup, notch-
ing six Ks in a complete-
game performance while
permitting seven hits and
one earned run.
St. Mary lefty mound ace
Brendon Nowicki also
pitched well, allowing seven
hits and two earned runs
with a complete-game per-
formance.
Sweet-swinging sopho-
more shortstop Logan Huff
laced a pair of hits to lead J-L
in the opener, including a
double and a two-run single.
Coalton Huff helped his own
cause with an RBI single and
catcher Brad Kussrow con-
nected for an RBI single.
Fleet-footed Hunter
VanderKerchove cracked a
single and double and scored
twice.
Guild also noted speedy
junior Jac Bandt, who laid
down a perfect bunt to reach
base in the bottom of the
third before stealing second
and scoring on Logan Huffs
screaming line drive single to
ignite the rally that turned
the game in J-Ls favor.
Nowicki whacked two hits
for St. Mary, including an RBI
single, and Anthony Zelinski
zapped a pair of hits as well
for the Snowbirds.
In game two, which was
played in a dripping rain, St.
Mary scored four early runs
and then held off a Cardinal
comeback to secure the
hard-fought victory.
The unflappable Zelinski
got the W for St. Mary and
did his best work with run-
ners on base. Zelinski engi-
neered more narrow escapes
than Houdini in the final
three innings as he pitched
out of bases-loaded jams in
the fourth and fifth innings
and a second-and-third situ-
ation in the bottom of the
sixth with no one out.
Zelinski also helped his
own cause at the plate, going
2-for-3 with an RBI, giving
him four hits on the day.
Nowicki also had another hit
and speedy senior center-
fielder Nick Harrington ham-
mered a double and scored a
run. Sophomore Nick Torsky
tagged two hits and Josh
Nowicki had an RBI grounder
to chase home brother
Brendon in the third to pro-
vide what would turn out to
be the decisive run in the
game. Catcher Gage Andrews
also singled and played a
solid game defensively for
the Snowbirds.
Sean Paris started for J-L
and took the loss. Logan Huff
came on in relief and pitched
well over the final 4 2-3
innings, giving up one run
with three Ks and two walks.
The Cardinals trailed 4-0
after two-and-a-half innings
but trimmed the lead to 4-2
in the bottom of the third
when Hunter
VanderKerchove, Coalton
Huff and Paris each singled.
In the bottom of the
fourth, the Cards scored
again when sharp-eyed Orin
Kierczynski, who recently
came up from the JV, deliv-
ered a key hit.
The Cardinals went on to
load the bases with two outs
but failed to score. They
loaded the bases again in the
fifth but could not get the big
hit and then had two on and
no out in the sixth and could
not get the timely hit.
Give the Zelinski kid cred-
it; he pitched pretty well for
them, Guild said. We had
our chances but we couldnt
get the hit when we had to
have it. Were still not hitting
the ball very well and were
not playing very smart yet.
Those are things we have to
improve on if we want to
have the kind of season we
think were capable of.
J-L (3-3) was scheduled to
play Ellsworth on Tuesday,
April 22. On Thursday, April
24, the Cardinals travel to
Mancelona for another
important early-season
league showdown. On
Saturday, April 26, they par-
ticipate in a tournament at
Standish-Sterling and on
Monday, April 28, they are
home against SVC rival
Bellaire.
St. Mary (1-1) was sched-
uled to play at Hillman on
Tuesday, April 22. On
Thursday, April 24, they play
at Forest Area and on
Monday, April 28, they play
host to Inland Lakes.

J-L, St. Mar! split earl! tinbill
By Mike Dunn
BEAVERTON The very
young Gaylord baseball team
of coach John Schneider got
some valuable experience on
Saturday in a four-team tour-
nament at Beaverton.
The Blue Devils secured
their first win of the year
when they outscored stub-
born Tawas Area in extra
innings, 6-5, and advanced to
the tourney title game with
Standish-Sterling where they
lost in another close one, 8-6.
The win over Tawas came
dramatically when sweet-
swinging sophomore Rob
Hansen, one of a number of
quality underclassmen on
the Blue Devil roster this sea-
son, came through with a
line drive single in the bot-
tom of the seventh to chase
home freshman teammate
Jack Korte from second base
to break the 5-5 tie and give
Gaylord the walk-off victory.
It was the second run of
the rally for Gaylord, which
went into its at-bat trailing 5-
4. Before scoring the game-
winning run, the reliable
Korte cracked an RBI single
to knock in Jacob Freeman
with the tying run.
Schneider commended his
troops for battling all the way
through to gain the hard-
fought win.
Hansen also helped the
cause with a booming first-
inning double to knock in
Korte. The flying feet of fear-
less freshman Jack Ryan
accounted for a Gaylord run
when he raced down the
third base line and slid in
safely for a steal of home,
raising a cloud of dust in his
wake. Ryan also ripped an
RBI single.
The hard-throwing Hansen
had the hot hummer going
for him as he fired a five-hit-
ter and allowed just one
earned run.
In the title game, Gaylord
fell behind 5-0 to the
Panthers before gamely
fighting back to make a game
of it.
Joseph Miller put some of
the muscle into the Blue
Devil attack, generating two
hits and rwo RBIs, and Levi
Irish rapped a two-run single
among his two hits. Korte
connected for a screaming
two-run single to drive home
Dante Welch and Freeman
and Hansen hammered
another RBI double. Taylor
Swanson tagged a double
and scored a run.
Korte permitted six hits
over the first four innings.
Irish notched two Ks in his
two innings of relief.
There were some costly
errors for Gaylord in both
games but Schneider was
pleased on the whole with
the effort and performance
of his squad and the way his
team is scrapping and
improving.
Gaylord (1-4) played at T.C.
West on Tuesday, April 22,
and entertain Sault Ste.
Marie on Thursday, April 24.

JOHANNESBURG
Johannesburg-Lewiston jun-
ior pitcher Allison Ellis was
extra awesome on Thursday,
April 17, in the twinbill with
non-league foe Alanson.
Allison, locked in like a laser,
absolutely overpowered the
overmatched Viking hitters,
not allowing a hit in either
game en route to a 5-0 and
14-0 sweep.
She threw 11 strikeouts in
the opener and rang up eight
more in the mercy-short-
ened nightcap.
Cardinal coach Ashlie
House, a former J-L star
pitcher and hitter herself,
commended Elliss effort in
the circle, noting how she
got the girls juices going
with her remarkable per-
formance.
Ellis wasnt shy about
helping herself at the plate
either. She ripped a two-run
double to help her own
cause in game one and then
sent a Viking rise ball some-
where into the horizon and
beyond the fence for a mam-
moth home run in game
two.
Sweet-swinging senior
Sydney McKenney, a four-
year varsity starter for J-L,
slammed an RBI double in
the opener. In game two,
Sydney sent one somewhere
into the Sydney-sphere for a
home run to match Elliss
blast. Its probably only a
rumor that Sydneys slam is
still traveling out there in
space somewhere.
Ellis had four RBIs and
McKenney three in the
nightcap and junior Emily
Aisthorpe throttled an RBI
single.
The Cardinals of coach
House were scheduled to
play at home against
Ellsworth on Tuesday, April
22. On Thursday, April 24,
they play at Mancelona and
on Monday, April 28, they
are home against Bellaire.
Pellston sweeps Eagles
BELLAIRE The Pellston
softball team put on a pow-
erful display of hitting
prowess in a doubleheader
with host Bellaire on
Thursday, April 17. The ham-
mering Hornets of coach
Ashley Bonter pounded out
an 11-2, 18-6 sweep over
their Ski Valley foe.
Kelly Lewis was in control
in the circle, registering five
Ks and allowing five hits
after coming in to relieve
Megan Milbrant, who was
forced to leave the game
with an injury.
Lewis also laced three hits
to help fuel the offense and
drove in three runs. Breah
Carter connected for three
hits as well and Bailey Stark
made her mark at the plate,
too, stroking a booming two-
run double. Stephanie
Kruskie cracked a single, as
did Hanah Carter, Shaylee
Smith, McKenzie Wright and
Kali Fyke.
Fyke took the ball to the
circle for Pellston in game
two and didnt surrender a
hit while securing the victo-
ry. Lewis again pitched in
relief, striking out two and
giving up four hits.
Stark added some more
bark to the attack in game
two and she had plenty of
bite in her bat as she struck
for a towering two-run triple
and an RBI single. Breah
Carter also blasted an RBI
triple and had a single to go
with it and Lewis continued
to be a line drive machine
with the bat in her hands,
launching an RBI triple of
her own to go with a single.
Shaylee Smith added
some serious sock also,
smashing a two-run dinger
that cleared the fence and
came down somewhere in
the next township. Smith
smacked a single, too.
Pellston is slated to host
Central Lake on Thursday,
April 24, and play in the
Boyne City tournament on
Saturday, April 30.
Bulldogs trim Forest
Area
INDIAN RIVER The
Inland Lakes softball team
brought out the high-pow-
ered aluminum for the sea-
son opener against Ski Valley
foe Forest Area on Thursday,
April 17, generating a whop-
ping 36 runs in an 18-2, 18-3
sweep of the Warriors.
Cool Cloe Mallory put the
certified C-Mal stamp of
success on her game-one
performance from the circle,
striking out seven and allow-
ing two runs.
The Bulldogs of coach
Krissi Thompson had plenty
of bite in their attack and
gave Cloe all the support she
needed. Vanessa Wandrie
whacked a two-run double
among her two hits and
Shianne Parrott produced a
two-run single.
In game two, McKenzie
Milner launched missiles
from the circle while striking
out six and permitting two
hits.
Lexi Provo laced a majes-
tic two-run triple to help the
Bulldog cause and C.C.
Messenbourg added some
muscle of her own, stroking
a screaming line drive single
through the middle to knock
in a run.
The Bulldogs (2-0, 2-0)
play host to Onaway on
Thursday, April 24, and play
at Gaylord St. Mary on
Monday, April 28.

WEST BRANCH The
Gaylord soccer team turned
up the juice and gave host
Ogemaw Heights a real jolt
on Thursday, April 17, in the
Blue Devils Big North
Conference opener.
Fueled by a furious early
assault on the Falcon net,
Gaylord posted a thoroughly
impressive 8-0 win in a
mercy-shortened contest.
It was determined junior
Lindsey Zaremba putting
plenty of her usual zip and
zoom into the attack, scoring
two of Gaylords eight goals.
Shifty senior forward
Maddie Hamilla added a pair
of goals and a pair of assists
to help the cause. Seniors
Darby Fitzhenry and Kayley
Crawford each cranked out a
goal for Gaylord and junior
Autumn Cancilla and super
sophomore Brandi Wagner
each earned a goal and an
assist.
At the other end of the
field, junior netminder
Abigail Haskill turned in
another strong showing,
turning away everything
directed toward the net.
Gaylord, which improved
to 2-1, played host to league
foe Cadillac on Tuesday. On
Thursday, April 24, the Blue
Devils play at the field of
perennial league foe
Petoskey and on Saturday,
April 26, they play in the Bay

MCBAIN Wow!
The Cheboygan girls soc-
cer team turned the throttle
on the attack meter to full
speed ahead last week and
secured impressive back-to-
back victories over Northern
Michigan Soccer League
rivals Houghton Lake and
McBain Northern Michigan
Christian on Wednesday and
Thursday, April 16-17.
The Chiefs derailed
Houghton Lake by a 6-0 mar-
gin and outscored a pretty
good NMC squad by a 6-1
score. The swarming Chiefs
loaded up the cannons and
launched volley after volley
at enemy goalkeepers in the
two matches.
It was Sierra Kolatski pro-
viding the heavy artillery
each day. The strong-legged
senior striker earned a hat
trick in each of the games,
scoring three against
Houghton Lake and three
against NMC the following
day.
The defending league
champion Chiefs launched a
remarkable 35 shots on net in
the two matches.
In the win over the
Bobcats, it was freshman
phenom Addy Pletcher pro-
ducing a pair of goals to go
with Sierras trio of scores,
and junior Kaylyn Brown
blasting one home as well.
When Sierra wasnt scoring
herself, she was setting up
her teammates. She notched
two assists to go with her
three goals. Hardworking
midfielder Mandy Paull,
known also for her prowess
in cross country and as a dis-
tance runner for the Chiefs
track team, generated a
team-high three assists.
Brown also recorded two
assists along with helpful
Hannah Granstrom.
Senior Jessica Smith
turned back everything sent
her way in the nets and she
received loads of help out
front from Delaney Gravlin
and Claire Woiderski.
In the win over NMC, it
was Megan Deeter, Mandy
Paull and Woiderski each
delivering a goal to go with
Kolatskis hat trick. The ubiq-

The Department of
Natural Resources reminds
anglers and retail minnow
dealers of the baitfish regu-
lations that need to be fol-
lowed in Michigan. Although
the requirement for state-
licensed bait retailers to pro-
vide customers with receipts
upon purchasing live min-
nows was recently removed,
all other regulations with
respect to minnow use con-
tinue to be enforced.
Baitfish regulations were
enacted in 2006 to reduce
the potential for baitfish to
move fish diseases as the
state saw multiple fish die-
offs in lakes Erie and Huron
from viral hemorrhagic sep-
ticemia virus (VHSv).
While fish kills from VHSv
have become less common,
we do not want this fish
pathogen to spread across
Michigan, said DNR fish-
eries biologist Tom Goniea.
Our regulations are
designed to prevent this
from occurring.
The following are some of
the key requirements
anglers and retail bait deal-
ers should be aware of when
selling and using live min-
nows as bait in Michigan:
1) Fathead minnows and
golden shiners are the most
common minnows import-
ed and sold in Michigan that
are not on the VHS suscepti-
ble species list, so these reg-
ulations do not apply to
them.
2) Spottail shiners (blues),
emerald shiner (greys) and
white suckers (sucker or pike
minnows) are the most com-
mon minnows sold in
Michigan that are suscepti-
ble to VHS and the baitfish
regulations apply to these
species. They are commonly
harvested from Michigan
waters for use as bait.
3) Bait retailers must ver-
bally inform their customers
where they can use the bait.
a. Minnows not on the
VHSv susceptible species list
as well as those that have
been certified as disease
free can be used as any-
where in the state.
b. Uncertified minnows
harvested in Michigan from
VHSv-free waters can be
used anywhere. Waters cur-
rently classified as VHS-free
include Lake Superior and
its tributaries and all Lake
Michigan tributary streams
above the first fish barrier.
c. Uncertified minnows
VHSv surveillance waters
can only be used in waters
designated as surveillance or
positive. Water classified as
VHS surveillance waters
include Lake Michigan and
its tributaries up to the first
fish barrier and all lakes
Huron, St. Clair and Erie
tributary streams (including
the St. Marys, St. Clair and
Detroit rivers) above the first
fish barrier.
d. Uncertified minnows
VHSv positive waters can
only be used in waters desig-
nated as positive. VHSv posi-
tive waters include lakes
Huron, St. Clair and Erie and
their tributary streams
(including the St. Marys, St.
Clair and Detroit rivers) to
the first fish barrier.
4) Certified disease-free
minnows can be used for up
to 14 days after purchase.
5) Uncertified minnows
can be used for up to three
days after purchase.
6) Anglers can catch their
own minnows but must fol-
low the same use restrictions
that are outlined in point
number three above and can
use them for up to three days
after harvest.
It is very important that
anglers and bait dealers
remain vigilant in their
efforts to follow the regula-
tions involving bait use in
order to prevent the spread
of VHSv to additional waters
in Michigan. Please visit
www.michigan.gov/vhs for
more information on VHSv
including the full list of sus-
ceptible fish species as well
as descriptions of the posi-
tive, surveillance and free
waters in Michigan.

TRAVERSE CITY It was
tough sledding for the
Gaylord boys and girls track
teams on Wednesday, April
16, in the Big North
Conference dual meet at
Traverse City Central.
Nonetheless, there were
some strong individual per-
formances for the Blue
Devils, who lost 122-53 in the
boys meet and 120-44 in the
girls meet.
In the girls meet, it was
fantastic freshman Casey
Korte flying through the air to
establish a new school record
for the Blue Devils in the long
jump. Korte launched herself
into the air, defying gravity
while propelling herself the
amazing distance of 16 feet,
6.75 inches in spite of the
raw, blustery conditions in
T.C.
Veteran Gaylord coach Jeff
Kalember categorized Kortes
feat as amazing.
For her to do that in the
wind and cold and snow was
an amazing performance,
he reported.
Korte previously reached a
distance of 16-2 at the CMU
Indoor Meet earlier this
month and at the time that
was the eighth best in school
history.
Casey wasnt the only
Gaylord athlete to show up
strong at Traverse City, how-
ever.
Another freshman, strong-
armed Bailey Checks,
outscored a field of 12 throw-
ers in the shot put with her
Herculean heave of 29 feet,
3.5 inches. Bailey was a beast
in the discus, too, taking sec-
ond place overall with her
heave of 81 feet, 1 inch.
Sophia Cabble, yet another
super-skilled freshman for
Kalembers Blue Devils, cap-
tured the high jump event in
the meet after clearing the
bar at the dizzying height of 4
feet, 8 inches. She edged tal-
ented teammate Skyler
Wickert and, yes, Skyler is a
freshman also for top hon-
ors. Skyler cleared the bar at
4-6 to finish as runner-up.
And, it was still another
freshman, speedster
Stephanie Davis, taking sec-
ond in both hurdle races.
ON THE boys side for
coach Matt Warren, it was
strong-striding junior Collin
Watters pouring it on in the
200 dash to beat out every-
one in a whiplash time of
24.91 seconds. Junior Austin
Kirby was right behind
Watters pushing him hard
the whole way and eventual-
ly taking second in 25.08 sec-
onds.
Watters showed his athlet-
ic versatility in the meet once
again, taking third in the dis-
cus (117-9). Kirby soared to
second in the long jump (18-
4.5).
Sterling McPherson
smoked it to second in the
800 run (2:16.79) and also
teamed with Zak Goddard,
Jack Hervela and Jordan
Monarch to take first in the
always-exciting 1600 relay
(3:48.07).
Fleet-footed freshman
Nate Boswood blistered the
turf in the 100 dash, taking
second overall in his sterling
time of 12.35 seconds, and he
finished a respectable fourth
in the 200 (25.72).

TRAVERSE CITY The
Petoskey girls soccer team
traveled to Traverse City on
Thursday, April 17, and took
on Big North rival Traverse
City West, falling by a 4-1
score.
The Northmen scored the
only goal of the first half but
could not hold off a strong
second-half surge by the tal-
ented Titans.
Rachel Berry had a fruitful
game for Petoskey, putting
the ball past the sprawling
Titan goaltender to score and
put the Northmen on top 1-0.
In the second half, it was
the Titans tall, highly skilled
Norwegian exchange stu-
dent, Runa Hafnor, doing
most of the damage. Runa,
who stand nearly 6-foot-4,
scored three times.
Petoskey did score another
goal in the second half when
Kendra Hoffman made a per-
fect pass to teammate Jordan
Young for a header but it did-
nt count when the Northmen
were ruled offside.
Sarah Lewis was in the nets
for Petoskey and played well,
making several outstanding
saves.
Petoskey played at Alpena
on Tuesday, April 22. The
Northmen are home against
Gaylord on Thursday, April
24, and home against
Cadillac on Tuesday, April 29.

Missed the application
period for a spring turkey
license? Opportunities for
licenses are still available.
New this year, spring turkey
hunters may purchase a
Hunt 234 license, a statewide
hunting license valid for all
open areas except public
lands in Unit ZZ (southern
Lower Peninsula and Beaver
Island). Hunters can pur-
chase a Hunt 234 license
through May 31.
Turkey hunters may also
purchase a leftover license
for areas where licenses are
still available. For a list of
available licenses, go to
www.michigan.gov/hunt-
drawings. Licenses will be
sold until quotas are met.
"Michigan has been
ranked top ten in the nation
for turkey harvest on an
annual basis by the National
Wild Turkey Federation," said
Al Stewart, DNR upland
game bird specialist. "The
DNR's goal for the spring
turkey season is to maximize
hunting opportunities and
maintain satisfactory hunt-
ing experiences. Over the
years, Michigan hunters have
consistently exceeded turkey
hunter satisfaction goals."
New this year, all hunters
will need to purchase a base
license, which includes a
small game license. Base
licenses are $11 for residents,
$6 for youth and $5 for sen-
iors.
After purchasing a base
license, Michigan residents
can purchase a spring turkey
license for $15, while seniors
can purchase a spring turkey
license for $6. To purchase a
license, go to www.mdnr-eli-
cense.com or visit any
license agent.
It is unlawful to obtain or
purchase more than one
spring turkey hunting
license. Those hunting pri-
vate land should receive per-
mission to hunt before pur-
chasing a private-land-only
license.
Youth hunters 9 years old
and younger can participate
in the spring turkey season
through the Mentored Youth
Hunting Program. The men-
tored youth hunting license
is $7.50 and entitles the
youth hunter to hunt turkey
during the spring and fall
seasons in any open hunt
period or location, on either
private or public land. This
license gives mentored youth
opportunities for small
game, deer (one tag, any
deer), furbearer and fish (all
species) during the appropri-
ate seasons. Please go to

Au Sable River: Water lev-
els are up and the current
was fast. The bite was a bit
on the slow side as it
appears the fish seem to be
holding out for something
more appealing. Those in
drift boats seem to have bet-
ter luck. Anglers are using
spawn, body baits, flies,
spinners, spoons and wax
worms.
Rogers City: The marina
still had some ice but hope-
fully it will be open by the
end of the week. The rocks
still had ice but the end of
the marina where the boats
go out is one area where
anglers could cast a line.
Alpena: Anglers are start-
ing to come out however ice
was still preventing access
to the Lake Huron.
Thunder Bay River: Is
open, all the ice is gone. The
water was high, muddy and
had debris coming down
after the rain. The access
site on Fletcher Street is
open and a dock is in. The
marina was still iced up
but the ice is going fast.
Steelhead are being
caught but anglers are
waiting for some fresh fish
to come in.
Harrisville: The harbor
has opened up enough to
get small boats out. It will
be hard to launch larger
boats because the docks are
not in yet. Steelhead and
walleye should be in and
around the harbor. The
water level is up and there is
a nice flow from the creek
which seems to bring fish
in.
Rifle River: Continues to
produce a fair to good num-
ber of suckers.
Northwest Lower Peninsula
Fishing Report
A few inland lakes were
starting to open up but
many were still 75 percent
covered. Rivers and streams
in the region were at or near
flood stage. Fishing will be
almost impossible until
water levels recede.
Traverse City: The East
Bay had too much ice cover
for boats but not enough for
ice fishing. On the West Bay,
an area near the Boardman
River had enough open
water for those surfcasting
or boats accessing via the
river. Catch rates were slow.
Elk River: Steelhead fish-
ing was slow. It looks like the
spring run will likely be a
couple weeks later than
usual this year because of
cold water temperatures.
Elk Lake and Skegemog
Lake still had ice.
Boardman River: Had
slow fishing with only the
occasional steelhead or
brown trout caught on
spawn bags or jigs tipped
with wax worms, wigglers or
scented plastics. High water
levels will make fishing
more difficult.
Platte River: Is producing
some of the darker hold-
over fish between the bridge
at Pioneer Road and Henry
Street. Some fresh fish have
moved in and were seen in
the holes near the El Dorado
Access site.

CHEBOYGAN COUNTY
Sturgeon for Tomorrow is
once again seeking volun-
teers to join in its annual
effort, in partnership with
the Michigan Department of
Natural Resources, to help
protect sturgeon from
poaching.
Each spring, mature lake
sturgeon, a fish species that
is threatened in Michigan
and rare throughout the
United States, become vul-
nerable to poaching as they
briefly leave Black Lake in
Cheboygan County for
spawning sites in the Black
River.
Hundreds of volunteers are
needed to stand guard along
the Black River during the
spawning season, from mid-
April through early June, to
report any suspicious activity
and deter the unlawful take
of this prized fish.
For over a decade, the
annual Sturgeon Guarding
Program has proven that citi-
zens who watch over the
river have greatly reduced
poaching while helping to
ensure the protection and
proliferation of the species,
said Ann Feldhauser, a DNR
retiree and the programs vol-
unteer coordinator. Its a
unique and rewarding expe-
rience to witness the sight of
these majestic fish, which
can live up to 100 years and
weigh over 200 pounds,
swimming up the Black River
and to take part in safeguard-
ing one of Michigan's most
valuable natural resources.
When spawning begins,
sturgeon guards are assigned
in shifts to sites along the
river. The volunteers stand
watch and, if necessary, use
cellular phones provided by
Sturgeon for Tomorrow, to
contact DNR conservation
officers who are actively
patrolling the area in support
of the guarding effort. Aerial
surveillance is also deployed
to secure the area and deter
illegal activity.
Many opportunities are
available for those who wish
to help. Coordinators will be
on-site to assist and answer
questions. In addition to
guarding the fish, volunteers
can also play a key role by
recording the number and
activity of fish they see.
Individuals or groups
interested in volunteering
should contact Ann
Feldhauser at 906-201-2484
or register online at
www.sturgeonfortomorrow.o
rg/guarding-program.php.
For those traveling from
outside the local area, several
hotels, restaurants and
Onaway State Park (located
on Black Lake) are very close
to the critical guarding loca-
tions. Volunteers are also
encouraged to set up their
rustic camps along the banks
of the Black River. There is no
charge for camping on the
state land adjacent to the
Black River.
Lake sturgeon rehabilita-
tion in the Cheboygan River
watershed is a cooperative
effort involving the Black
Lake Chapter of Sturgeon for
Tomorrow, the DNR,
Michigan State University
and Tower-Kleber Limited
Partnership. In addition to
the guarding program, this
effort includes activities such
as tagging sturgeon adults
and raising young fish for
stocking.

The Department of Natural
Resources reminds wood-
cock hunters to add a free
woodcock stamp to their
base license this year.
The free woodcock stamp
automatically registers
woodcock hunters with the
Migratory Bird Harvest
Information Program (HIP).
These HIP records are vital
for the management of
American woodcock and are
used to estimate harvest and
days spent afield.
The American woodcock
is a popular game bird
throughout eastern North
America and an important
species in Michigan, said
DNR upland game bird spe-
cialist Al Stewart. Michigan
is No. 1 in the world for
American woodcock harvest
and is a top production state.
In 2012, Michigan woodcock
hunters spent 213,000 days
afield and harvested about
100,000 birds.
Stewart explained that
Michigan plays a significant
role in the future of American
woodcock, and the state con-
tains prime woodcock habi-
tat. Trees like aspen are key to
the survival of this important
upland game bird, and the
DNR works with forest pro-
ducers to maintain young
forests that are necessary for
woodcock to persist. These
activities help to maintain
Michigans timber industry
by increasing harvest on
public and private lands,
improving rural economies
and keeping jobs in
Michigan.
Hunters that receive the
free woodcock stamp will
have the HIP certification
printed on their base license.
All hunters need to purchase
a base license, which
includes a small game
license. Base licenses are $11
for residents, $6 for youth
and $5 for seniors. To pur-
chase a license, go to
www.mdnr-elicense.com or
visit any license agent.

Woodcock hunters can request stamp when buying base license
CHEBOYGAN
Department of Natural
Resources officials recently
have found evidence of the
emerald ash borer, an inva-
sive species that targets ash
trees, at Aloha State Park near
Cheboygan. Aloha State Park
is a popular northern
Michigan destination for
many campers during the
summer.
This season, because of the
damage to the trees, campers
will see a change in the
campground. Ash trees once
made up about 85 percent of
the trees within the camp-
ground. Over the past six
months, approximately 400
dead ash trees have been
removed from the park.
The speed at which these
trees have died is the most
striking thing to me, said
Aloha State Park Supervisor
Jeremy Spell. Trees that
looked healthy during the
summer had bark falling off
this winter.
"The DNR recognized
years ago this could happen.
The department has planted
around 200 trees within the
past five years thanks to
grant funding received from
the Odwalla Plant-A-Tree
Program. We will continue to
plant a diversity of trees each
year but also recognize it will
take a long time before the
park looks like it did last
year.
Since these trees were in
the campground area, the
park worked during the win-
ter to remove the dead trees
for campers' safety. Park staff
is now removing stumps and
doing general cleanup at the
campground. The extremely
harsh winter has made these
efforts more difficult, leaving
the park buried with more
snow than usual. Spell says
the campground will be
ready for the main camping
season, but the park will look
very different to those who
regularly camp there.
Replanting trees is a top pri-
ority for the park.

ground from the emerald ash

Most of Michigans wild-
fires occur in the spring
April, May and June.
According to the
Department of Natural
Resources, which is respon-
sible for wildland fire pro-
tection on 30 million acres
of state and private land,
April is when wildfires start
becoming a problem.
During the states annual
observance of Wildfire
Prevention Week, April 20-
26, the DNR reminds the
public about the dangers of
wildfires.
One out of three wildfires
in Michigan is caused by
someone burning debris
who did not take proper
precautions or obtain a
burn permit, said Paul
Kollmeyer, resource protec-
tion manager within the
DNRs Forest Resources
Division. Many people look
outside and think the snow
and spring rains have taken
the edge off the wildfire
danger.
Thats not the case,
Kollmeyer said.
The dried leaves, needles
and brown grass from last
year are still there. When the
weather is warm, folks want
to get out and clean up their
yards. They dont realize that
all it takes is one strong
wind gust catching an
ember to ignite a wildfire.
Kollmeyer said this is why
planning is so vital before a
match is even lit.
A person is required to get
a burn permit prior to burn-
ing brush and debris in
Michigan. Residents in the
northern Lower Peninsula
and Upper Peninsula can
obtain a free burn permit by
visiting www.michigan.gov/
burnpermit. Residents in
southern Michigan should
contact their local fire
department or township
office to see if burning is
permitted in their area.
In addition to obtaining a
burn permit, the DNR rec-
ommends people take the
following steps to reduce
the risk of wildfire to their
home and property:
Clear leaves and other
debris from gutters, eaves,
porches and decks. This pre-
vents embers from igniting
your home.
Keep your lawn hydrat-
ed and maintained. Dry
grass and shrubs are fuel for
wildfire. If it is brown, cut it
down to reduce fire intensi-
ty.
Remove fuel within 3 to
5 feet of your homes foun-
dation and out-buildings,
including garages and
sheds. If it can catch fire,
dont let it touch your house,
deck or porch.
Remove dead vegetation
surrounding your home,
within the 30- to 100-foot
area.
Wildfire can spread to
tree tops. If you have large
trees on your property,
prune them so the lowest
branches are 6 to 10 feet
high.
Dont let debris and lawn
cuttings linger. Chip or
mulch these items quickly
to reduce fuel for fire.
When planting, choose
slow-growing, carefully
placed shrubs and trees so
the area can be more easily
maintained.
Landscape with native
and less flammable plants.
about making fire wise
landscaping choices, visit
www.firewise.msu.edu.
Be safe and smart
when it comes to fire,
Kollmeyer said. Fire pre-
vention is everyones
responsibility.

guarding your home and
property from wildfire
risk, visit

Watch to document this
mighty migration through
the tip of the lower peninsu-
la. You have something really
special here and no one
knows about it. When Georg
came from his home in
Pennsylvania to start on the
job on March 15, few people
braved the frigid weather to
join him. Now with both the
weather and the numbers of
hawks warming up, he
expects a lot of company in
the coming few weeks.
MSRW Chair Ed Pike
reports This year's count
already approaches 9,000
individual birds of 16
species, all flying north. They
winter between southern
U.S. all the way into Central
and South America as far as
Brazil. Mackinaw City is
uniquely positioned in front
of the first big water these
birds encounter on their
journey, and it gives them
pause. While they wait for
proper wind conditions to
aid in the crossing, hawks
both hunker down to con-
serve their energy and
actively hunt other birds that
also are migrating.
The highest number of
birds tallied so far are 5,158
red-tailed hawks. With 14
subspecies, these hawks can
be tricky to identify, says
Pike. Our hawk counter
Kevin Georg specializes in
doing that, while volunteers
help introduce anyone from
the public to this local mar-
vel of migration. It's free and
it's fun. He continues,
Nothing compares to
watching thousands of
hawks circle overhead at one
time. They rise so high they
go out of sight, lifting on
warm air currents like bub-
bles in a boiling kettle, so are
called kettles of hawks.
These updrafts of air fre-
quently form cumulus
clouds, which may help the
hawks detect their presence.
We thank Darrow
Excavating, Mackinaw City,
Emmet County, and many
individual and group con-
tributors for enabling the
hawk watch this year.
The hawk watch continues
until May 31 and is free for
the public to enjoy. Wear
warm clothes, bring a lawn
chair, and your sense of
wonder. Binoculars, bird
books, and identification
guides are available for loan.
You can see other migrating
birds as well, including
Eastern bluebirds and tree,
chipping, savannah, and
vesper sparrows. Follow the
hawk signs posted on West
Central Avenue from down-
town Mackinaw City. For

graphs, visit

The all-new 2015 Ford F-150 has already
scaled the highest points of the Continental
Divide and experienced the most extreme
weather conditions as Ford has set out to
engineer its toughest truck yet. Before the first
2015 F-150 rolls off the assembly line, it will
have been subjected to 10 million miles of
combined real-world and simulated durability
testing.
We wanted to build the toughest, most
capable F-150, while making it as much as 700
pounds lighter, said Pete Reyes, Ford F-150
chief engineer. We challenged the team to
torture the truck harder than any F-150 before
it.
The new F-150 towed trailers over moun-
tain passes in temperatures above 120
degrees, withstood frame-punishing terrain
on an off-road course and conquered a frozen
lake at minus 40 degrees. It endured high-
humidity chambers, salt vats and riverbeds.
The F-150 towed heavy loads up grueling,
steep roads. Robots slammed its doors and
tailgates, and dropped heavy objects onto the
bed of the truck. It persevered through twist-
ing and shaking from multiple directions.
Some Ford tests are so extreme that a five-
day period equals 10 years or 150,000 miles of
abuse by the roughest customers. Reyes is
quick to remind customers that the extreme
tests Ford runs are conducted in controlled
settings. I discourage anyone from trying to
create their own top 10 list, he said. Leave
the testing to us.
The all-new F-150 has been through hun-
dreds of torture tests. including:
- Seven-channel input: Ford built a special
torture rack that violently twists and shakes
the truck seven ways simultaneously for
five days, simulating the equivalent of 225,000
miles. This testing isnt random. After running
a fully instrumented truck through durability
courses, engineers recorded the forces the
road surface put on various vehicle compo-
nents. Those forces are replicated in seven
channels four up and down, two side to side
and one lengthwise down the center. The
frame and body are stressed to see how well
the truck performs in situations that might
bend the frame.
- Silver Creek: The famous Silver Creek
durability course in Romeo, Mich., combines
two extremely rough roads. One section of the
route has 15 distinct types of chuckholes,
while the other is made from broken pieces of
concrete. Test drivers beg off this route after
one pass because the pounding and speed is
so intense. Imagine hitting a crater-sized pot-
hole every five feet for miles going 20 mph.
With this road surface, 500 miles is equal to
20,000 miles on the countrys roughest roads.
- Power Hop Hill: This washboard Ford test
track in Romeo was created to replicate a
steep, off-road dirt trail in the Hualapai
Mountains of northwest Arizona. The severe
11 percent grade steeper than the final sec-
tion of most ski jump ramps stresses engine
and transmission components when the
wheels lose contact and then return to the
surface.
- Corrosion bath: The 2015 F-150 is the first
high-volume vehicle with a high-strength steel
frame, and body panels made of high-
strength, aluminum alloy the same material
used to make armor-plated tanks and navy
warships. An advantage aluminum has over
steel is that it doesnt produce red rust. So
Ford had to go beyond the usual tests that
include driving vehicles through countless salt
baths and soaking them in high-humidity
chambers. The company developed a modi-
fied corrosion test using an acidified spray to
be more aggressive on the high-strength, alu-
minum alloy. After simulating 10 years of
exposure, the aluminum material showed vir-
tually no signs of degradation.

A perfect retreat for enjoying the natu-
ral beauty and solitude northern Lower
Michigan can offer, this just over two acre
get-away includes a rustic log cabin and
approximately 328 feet of frontage along
the famed Black River.
The two-bedroom cabin has about 672
square feet of living space, with a wel-
coming wood stove anchoring the main
living area. Additional storage space is
provided by a shed conveniently located
just behind the main structure.
Of course, the Black River frontage is
the true northern star here; offering
direct access to the Inland Waterway
which connects several northern Lower
Michigan lakes and even Lake Huron at
Cheboygan, which is also just a short
drive to the north of this property.
What a wonderful slice of heaven right
here in the north. This home and proper-
ty is listed at $113,000 and other options
include on one lot with 128 feet of
frontage for $59,000 or two vacant lots
with 200 feet of frontage for $54,000. Call

It doesnt matter whether you are selling your
home as a short sale or as a traditional seller, your
checklist for home selling is identical. There are
certain things on a home selling checklist that
every responsible seller should do.
You would utilize your home closing checklist
after all of your personal belongings and furniture
has been moved. Although, not every seller is
required to prior to or on the day of closing, most
home sellers find that they cant begin to wrap up
the process until everything is removed from the
home.
Part 2 of 2
Closing Checklist Tip #6: Cancel or Transfer
Utilities, Stop the Newspaper
Make up a list of phone numbers in advance of
each of your utility companies. Not every utility is
always paid monthly, some are quarterly. If you
subscribe to the newspaper, you might have to
order your cancellation a week or more in
advance to stop newspapers from piling up in the
front yard.
Closing Checklist Tip #7: Leave House Keys,
Remotes, Gate Keys, Mailbox Keys
Even though the buyers will probably change
the locks, find every house key, remotes for the
garage or ceiling fans, keys to the gate and mail-
box, if any, and put them in a kitchen drawer.
Closing Checklist Tip #8: Assemble Appliance
Manuals, Receipts and Warranties
As you were packing, you may have come
across manuals for the HVAC, security or sprinkler
system or appliances, and set them aside. If you
have receipts from contractors or warranties, put
them into an envelope and leave them in a drawer
with the manuals, along with the code for the
security alarm.
Closing Checklist Tip #9: Check Cabinets,
Drawers and Storage
If your spouse or friend says she has gone
through every room with a fine tooth comb look-
ing for anything left behind, run one more check.
You may find nothing more than a razor in the
shower, but at least youll be able to shave in the
morning. It will give you peace of mind. I once
