GAYLORD The
Associated Press released its
All-State football rosters last
week and three players from
the coverage area of the
Weekly Choice were first-
team selections in addition
to others who were Special
Mention and Honorable
Mention. Two area coaches
Kerry VanOrman of Petoskey
in Division 3-4 and Dan
Derrer of Mancelona in
Division 7-8 were also
named to the All-State roster
this year.
Those earning first-team
recognition were Grayling
senior two-way lineman
Griffin Dean in Div. 5-6 along
with Mancelona junior run-
ning back Wyatt Derrer and
Mio senior quarterback
Grant Price in Div. 7-8.
Others who earned All-
State recognition this year
included Petoskey senior Joe
Robbins as Special Mention
running back in Div. 3-4,
Grayling senior Riley Zigila as
an honorable mention spe-
cialist, and Mancelona high-
stepping senior fullback
Austin Spires, Johannesburg-
Lewiston senior lineman
Blake Huff and Mio senior
lineman Eli Koslakiewicz as
honorable mention picks.
In Division 3-4, Rocket
Robbins was a Special
Mention pick after a sensa-
tional season in which he
broke several existing single-
season and career school
records while helping the
Northmen to a 9-2 record, a
berth in the district champi-
onship game against eventu-
al state finalist Mount
Pleasant, and an undefeated
season in the Big North.
There are times when ath-
letes from the north get a
short straw because they are
not as visible to A.P. sports-
writers as athletes from
schools downstate. Its not an
intentional slight but it hap-
pens nonetheless. The truth
is, if anyone in Division 3-4
deserved first-team All-State
honors this year, Robbins did
after his incredible 2011
campaign. But any kind of
All-State recognition is still a
significant honor.
Robbins rushed for a
school-record 1,769 yards
and a school-record 33
touchdowns and probably
would have been named All-
State for his play at defensive
back if not for his play on
offense. In addition to being
Petoskeys all-time leader in
single-season and career
rushing yardage and touch-
downs, he is also the all-time
leader in interceptions.
In Div. 5-6, Grayling team-
mates Dean and Zigila
played integral roles in the
Vikings success this season
as head coach Tim Sanchezs
troops pushed to an 8-1 regu-
lar-season mark and a home-
playoff victory for the second
year in a row.
The 6-foot-7, 250-pound
Dean is the third player in
Grayling gridiron history to
be named first-team All-State
and does it a year after senior
tight end Steven Enos also
earned first-team honors.
The Dean was also an honor-
able mention All-State pick a
year ago.
The long-armed Dean
the Growl of Kevin
OConnells Viking defense
from his post at end and a
wall of rugged resistance on
the O-line for coach Eric
Tunney has been a two-way
varsity starter for three years.
The versatile Zigila was a
two-way, three-year starter
during the same three years,
a stretch where the Vikings
went 23-9 and advanced to
the playoffs all three years,
including twice playing the
district finals.
The Vikings employed
Zigila Warfare on both sides
of the ball this season and on
special teams and Zigila
delivered the goods, making
an impact as a runner and
receiver and sometimes
quarterback on offense, as a
linebacker on defense and as
a punt and kick returner on
special teams.

KALAMAZOO -- It was a
productive weekend down-
state for the Gaylord hockey
team. The Blue Devils took
part in the Kalamazoo United
Thanksgiving Tournament at
the Wings West Arena and
fared well, staging rallies to
beat both host Kalamazoo
United and Jenison on Friday
and Saturday.
On Friday against United,
the Blue Devils had to over-
come a sluggish start and a 2-
0 deficit to finally prevail by a
3-2 score. In the Saturday
game with Jenison, Gaylord
also fell behind 2-0 before
storming back to win 6-3.
In the game with United, it
was a lightning strike from
Mitchell Lawton that ignited
the Blue Devil comeback.
"Lightning" Lawton's goal --
his third of the young season
-- came late in the second
period and made a come-
back possible, trimming
United's lead to 2-1.
In the third period,
Gaylord did all the scoring
and, more specifically, Derek
Axford did all the scoring.
The ever-dangerous Axford
found the back of the oppos-
ing net twice, tying the score
at 2 just 33 seconds into the
period off a pretty, pinpoint
feed from Willis Gelow, and
then putting the Blue Devils
on top with an unassisted
short-handed goal at the 6:09
mark of the period.
Gaylord goalie Peter
Lawton then made the one-
goal lead stand, making sev-
eral key stops over the final
10 minutes of the contest to
preserve the hard-fought and
well-deserved victory. United
had 37 shots on goal in the
contest, compared to 20 for
Gaylord.
Spencer Bajko assisted on
Lawton's goal.
On Saturday, Gaylord ral-
lied in the second period
from another 2-0 deficit. This
time it was the pesky Bajko
doing the damage, scoring
consecutive goals, the sec-
ond one coming on a power
play, to tie the score. Then
Axford struck again to put
Gaylord on top, lighting the
lamp on a power play at the
9:15 mark. Gaylord outshot
Jenison 14-6 in the second
period.
The Blue Devils scored the
first two goals of the third
period to push their lead to
5-2 as "Lightning" Lawton
and Anthony Tomaski both
lit the lamp with unassisted
goals. Tomaski's goal was
short-handed.
Jenison's Chad Deshane
tallied at the 13:15 mark to
trim Gaylord's lead to 5-3 but
Axford put the seal on the
deal with his fourth goal of
the weekend and the final
goal of the game with less
than two minutes remaining.
Cole Muzyl had two assists
and Axford had a single assist
to go with his two goals. Also
earning lone assists were Jay
Lindgren, Trevor Raymond
and Willis Gelow.
Peter Lawton stood tall in
the nets again, turning away
24 of 27 shots directed at
him.
Gaylord (3-1) plays in the
annual early-season tourney
at Houghton way up in the
U.P. copper country this
weekend.

PETOSKEY The Petoskey
hockey team opens at home
this weekend with a pair of
Big North Conference games.
On Friday, Dec. 2, the
Northmen play host to
Traverse City Central and
then Alpena comes to town
for a 2 p.m. matinee on
Saturday. The Saturday game
is also the annual communi-
ty food pantry drive and folks
are asked to bring donations
for the Brother Dan Food
Pantry.
Petoskey opened the new
season during the weekend
of Nov. 19-20, participating in
the prestigious Huron Shores
Challenge hosted by Alpena.
The Northmen lost to Milford
7-3 in the opener and to Holt
4-1 in game two.
Derek Smith, Tanner Davis
and Kyle Ruggles lit the scor-
ing lamp for Petoskey in the
Milford game with Smith and
Davis also notching assists.
Ken Forton recorded two
assists while Chay Worden
and Ian Morrison each had
one.
Morrison tallied Petoskeys
lone goal on Saturday with
help from Ben
Schwartzfisher.
Breanna Merriam was in
the nets for Petoskey in the
opener and freshman Mike
Whittaker handled the goal-
minding duties against Holt
in the Saturday game.

VanOrman, Derrer earn honors
Football
By Mike Dunn
GAYLORD Two of the top
coaches in the region
received recognition from
the Associated Press last
week. Petoskey head coach
Kerry VanOrman and
Mancelona head coach Dan
Boo Derrer who also hap-
pen to run two of the classi-
est programs in the state
both made the All-State rolls.
VanOrman was chosen as
Special Mention Coach of the
Year in Division 3-4 and
Derrer was an honorable
mention Coach of the Year in
Division 7-8.
VanOrman guided
Petoskey to a 9-2 log this sea-
son and an undefeated
record in the Big North.
Petoskey finished with an 8-1
regular-season record for the
fourth year in a row under
VanOrman and made it to
the playoffs for the fifth time
in VanOrmans six years at the
helm of the Northmen pro-
gram.
One huge highlight from
2011 was the 31-14 victory
over Bay City John Glenn in
the opening round of the Div.
3 playoffs. This was also the
second time in four years
that Petoskey won its first-
round playoff game and
advanced to the district
championship.
Derrer whose older
brothers gave him the nick-
name Boo as a child
because he enjoyed Boo-
Berry cereal guided
Mancelona to a school-
record 10 wins this season
and a second-straight Ski
Valley Conference champi-
onship. The Ironmen won
nine games in the regular
season for the first time in
school history and won a
home playoff game for the
second year in a row after
accomplishing that feat for
the first-time ever in 2010.
Mancelona, playing before
a packed home stadium,
edged Whittemore-Prescott
16-14 in the opening round
of the Div. 7 playoffs to
advance to the district title
game for the second year in a
row.
Derrer had previously been
named Regional Coach of the
Year in 2007 and 2010 by the
Michigan High School
Football Coaches
Association. In his six years at
the helm of the Mancelona
program, Derrer has posted a
winning record every year
and has taken the Ironmen to
the playoffs five times.

Press in annual All-State rolls

BOURBONNAIS, IL
Cheboygan 2008 graduate
Nathan Schott recently com-
pleted his college football
career at Olivet Nazarene
University on a strong note,
earning recognition as a
member of the Mid-States
Football Association All-
Midwest League Team.
The 6-foot, 245-pound
Schott was a high-impact
player for the Tigers, seeing
action all four years and
starting at inside linebacker
as a junior and senior. Schott
was second on the team in
tackles last year and this year,
helping ONU to post a 5-6
record overall and 3-4 in the
league.
Schott, who had a stellar
prep career as a three-year,
two-way starter for Hall of
Fame Cheboygan coach Jack
Coon, finished second on the
team in tackles for the sec-
ond year in a row, making 49
solo tackles with 18 assists.
He also led the team with a
whopping 10 tackles for loss
for 45 negative yards and he
led the team with four sacks
in addition to being a team
co-leader with three inter-
ceptions. He was also third
on the team with seven pass-
es defended and he had a
forced fumble and a blocked
kick.
Twice this season, Schott
was chosen as the MSFA
Defensive Player of the Week,
an unusual accomplishment.
In a 52-31 road victory over
Iowa Wesleyan College on
Oct. 29, Schott had one of his
finest individuals games,
amassing a team-high nine
tackles with three sacks, a
forced fumble and two pass
break-ups.
Nate has been a solid
leader on the defense all
year," head coach Brian Fish
said after the game. "His
toughness has been the cata-
lyst for the change that is tak-
ing place at ONU.
Nate, the son of Jon and
Wynne Schott of Cheboygan,
is majoring in social science
education at ONU.
Schott shined at
Cheboygan, both at line-
backer and fullback. He was
named first-team All-State
two years in a row as well as
All-Region and All-
Conference. He was a mem-
ber of the Weekly Choice All-
Area Dream Team two years
in a row and was selected as
the Weekly Choice Defensive
Player of the Year in both
2006 and 2007. He was cho-
sen as the Straits Area
Conference Defensive Player
of the Year those same two
seasons.
Schott played an integral
role in the famed Snow
Game at Kingsford in 2006
in the opening round of the
Div. 5 playoffs. Schotts
fourth-quarter interception
and subsequent return inside
the 5-yard line led to the only
TD of the game and a tense
7-0 Chief victory. The
Schott-in-the-Snow victory
was particularly significant
given the difficulty visiting
teams have had going to
Kingsford and winning there
through the years.

CADILLAC -- The Bay Area
Reps hockey team opened its
season on Friday, November
25, against Fraser in the
Hockey Night in Cadillac
Tournament.
The Reps 2011-12 team is
much younger than last
years 20-victory team,
replacing 12 graduated sen-
iors with 12 new freshmen
and sophomores. But the
rookies stepped up in the
opener and helped the Reps
to an impressive 4-1 victory
over the Ramblers.
Sophomore P.J. Heger gave
the Reps an early lead when
he scored just 1:29 into the
opening period on an assist
from Kevin Banducci. Zack
Bargy then gave the Reps a 2-
0 lead when he deposited the
rebound of a Deryk
Henderson shot into the
back of the net with 1:09 left
in the first period.
The Reps got second-peri-
od goals from Nick Sicinski
and the ever-dangerous
Banducci to take a 4-0 lead
into the third period.
Jackson Gray scored for
Fraser one minute into the
final period, but that would
be the only shot to get past
Rep goalie John Posler and
the Reps would advance to
play Detroit Country Day in
the championship game on
November 26 with their 4-1
victory over Fraser.
In the Championship
game neither team scored in
the opening period but the
Yellow Jackets Ryan Goleniak
scored an unassisted goal at
the 7:40 mark of the second
period to give Country Day a
one-goal advantage.
But the Reps tied it only 8
seconds latter on a goal by
Heger with assists to Andrew
Dzierwa and Banducci.
Jack Bergmann scored for
Country Day with 6:04 left in
the middle stanza, but a
Travis Kirk goal with assists
from Nate Wilson and Quinn
Lyman knotted the score
with 1:08 left in the second
period.
Detroit Country Day con-
trolled the final period and
goals by Shane Switzer and
Scott Wolf gave the Yellow
Jackets a 4-2 championship
victory.
The Reps open Northern
Michigan Hockey League
play this Friday, Dec 2, when
they travel to Cheboygan to
take on the Chiefs.

ONAWAY The Onaway
girls basketball team of
coach Marty Mix played host
to Hillman on Monday to
kick off the 2011-12 cam-
paign and earned a hard-
fought 46-36 triumph.
Onaways offense sput-
tered at times in the season
opener but the Cardinal girls
played the kind of voracious,
aggressive defense that Mixs
teams are always noted for,
limiting a pretty good
Hillman squad to less than 40
points.
Onaway held just a three-
point lead early in the fourth
quarter but finished strong to
pull away on the scoreboard.
The Cardinals did not shoot
well at the stripe and had
some lapses here and there.
Overall, though, it was a vic-
tory and that was the most
important thing.
We showed some signs of
good basketball and some
signs that it's a new season,
Mix said afterward.
Tough Temara Lupu led the
way for Onaway with 12
points and she was joined in
double-digit scoring by hard-
driving glass-cleaner Molly
Cleaver with 10 and jet-quick
junior point guard Emmy
Estep with 10.
Junior Kallie Shimel, who
earned Honorable Mention
All-State honors from the
Free Press a year ago, put
eight points through the
twine and Sammie Freel
found the net for four points.
Hillman's Jensen
Tchorzynski led all scorers
with 13 points.

NFL SCHEDULE
Mancelona and Price of Mio
were high-impact players for
their respective teams.
The 5-10, 185-pound
Derrer, a member of
Mancelonas hard-driving
DSA Ground Assault Unit in
the backfield along with sen-
ior fullback Austin Spires and
senior halfback Trevor Ackler,
was a north-south threat
every time he touched the
ball, apt to break free on any
down from any spot on the
field.
Sheriff Wyatt and team-
mate Spires both surpassed
1,300 yards rushing for the
season, helping Mancelona
to win 10 games for the first
time in school history, finish
unbeaten for the fourth time
in school history, repeat as
Ski Valley champs, and win a
home playoff game for the
second year in a row.
Price capped a stellar prep
career as Mios signal caller
and safety, helping the
Thunderbolts to capture the
North Star League title and
advance to the playoffs once
again. The 6-1, 200-pound
Price was a force for the
Thunderbolts behind center,
rushing for 1,335 yards and
20 touchdowns and passing
for 1,236 yards and 16 scor-
ing strikes through the air
while helping the Thunder-
bolts post a 7-3 record.
The 6-1, 260-pound
Koslakiewicz was a two-way
trench warrior for the
Thunderbolts, enabling Mio
to control the line of scrim-
mage against most oppo-
nents with his physical play
and aggressiveness.
Huff was also a blue-collar
battler in the trenches for
Johannesburg-Lewiston and
head coach John Bush. The
6-0, 220-pound senior domi-
nated play on both sides of
the ball and was especially a
force on defense for the
Cardinals while playing end
and linebacker. Huffs pres-
ence up front helped J-L to
make a return to the playoffs
this year and finish as run-
ner-up in the Ski Valley.

THURSDAY: Matthew 1:18-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His
mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. 19
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. 20 But
when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do
not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a
Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.
FRIDAY: Deuteronomy 22:20-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 20 But if this charge is true, that the girl was not found a vir-
gin, 21 then they shall bring out the girl to the doorway of her fathers house, and the men of her city shall stone her to
death because she has committed an act of folly in Israel by playing the harlot in her fathers house; thus you shall purge the
evil from among you. 22 If a man is found lying with a married woman, then both of them shall die, the man who lay with
the woman, and the woman; thus you shall purge the evil from Israel. 23 If there is a girl who is a virgin engaged to a man,
and another man finds her in the city and lies with her, 24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and
you shall stone them to death; the girl, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man, because he has violated his
neighbors wife. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.
SATURDAY: Matthew 1:24-25 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the
Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, 25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His
name Jesus.
SUNDAY: Habakkuk 2:4 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 4 Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him;
But the righteous will live by his faith.
MONDAY: Deuteronomy 6:25 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 25 It will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all
this commandment before the LORD our God, just as He commanded us.
TUESDAY: Psalm 7:8 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 8 The LORD judges the peoples; Vindicate me, O LORD, according to
my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
WEDNESDAY: Psalm 35:24-28 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Your righteous-
ness, And do not let them rejoice over me. 25 Do not let them say in their heart, Aha, our desire! Do not let them say,
We have swallowed him up! 26 Let those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress; Let those be
clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me. 27 Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my
vindication; And let them say continually, The LORD be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant. 28 And
my tongue shall declare Your righteousness And Your praise all day long.
I remember very clearly when my wife first told me that she was pregnant. While I was
at work she secretly left a pair of baby booties hanging from the rear view mirror of my
red F-150 pick up truck. When I finished my work shift I saw the booties hanging there,
pondered the situation for a minute or two, then quickly drove home to celebrate the good
news! The doctors had told us that we couldnt have children so this was quite an unex-
pected miracle!
The gospel of Matthew from the Bible tells us that the birth of Jesus took place in the
following way. Mary and Joseph were betrothed (legally pledged to be married) but before
they had come together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. As you can
imagine this presented a dilemma for Joseph! He decided to divorce her quietly to not put
her to shame. Why? He was an honorable man and I imagine he didnt know what else to
do. But as he considered these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that
which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call
his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins (Matthew 1:20-21). All this ful-
filled what the prophet Isaiah had written about 700 years before the birth of Jesus. In
Isaiah 7:14 it says that a virgin would give birth to a son and he would be God with us.
Its hard to imagine what was going through Josephs mind during all of this but we do
know what his actions were. The Bible says, he did as the angel of the Lord had com-
manded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And
he called his name Jesus (Matthew 1:24-25). He probably didnt understand everything
but he had the attitude, if you say it, I will do it.
As a husband and a dad Joseph is a wonderful example. God knew Jesus would need
a dad who was steady, strong and compassionate. One who would love and encourage the
mother of Christ and raise his son well. And one day Joseph would be the man to step
back while God stepped forward as the Father. Thank God they obeyed and Jesus came
to be our Savior.
If he was a religious man, he probably
believed every word of it. If he wasn't, he
probably loved his betrothed enough to take
on whatever she brought into the relationship.
Frank Holes, Indian River
I don't know the answer to that question.
Gage Wang, Afton,
I bet he was not a happy camper. He was
probably questioning Mary's character. He
probably wanted to believe the best, but I'm
sure there was doubt.
Ben McMurray, Petoskey
Oh, Great!!
Dave Caroffino, Charlevoix
Thoughts on...What do you think was going through Joseph's
mind when Mary told him she was pregnant with Jesus
and he knew he wasn't the father??

Vanderbilt Yoga instructor Heidi Dietrich will present a
workshop entitled Yoga & Mandalas Enhancing Creativity
at Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat Center in Vanderbilt.
This weekend retreat of yoga, meditation, mandalas, chakras,
and fierce creativity will begin Friday, December 9 and end
Sunday, December 11.
In this weekend of yoga, meditation, self-care and self-
love, Heidi Dietrich will help participants focus on life as an
embodied practice. Nurture the vessel of your body with
time for walking, resting, journaling, and honoring your
body through yoga and nutritious meals. Heidi will help you
explore the release of old stories held in the bodys cells
through asana and nutrition. Saturday afternoon will involve
creating mandalas and exploring the chakras, while Saturday
evenings yoga class will balance the chakras for a delicious
evening of sleep in the clean air of Northern Michigan! The

Recently featured on the cover of Spirituality & Health
Magazine, Heidi Dietrich is the owner and primary instruc-
tor at Charlevoix Yoga Studio. She has been practicing yoga
since 1990 and received her 200RYT certification from
Marianne Wells Yoga School in Costa Rica in 2009. After
experiencing Anusara Yoga, Heidi began pursuing further
training in this heart-oriented method that honors the dance
of life. As a yogini and an artist, Heidi is inspired to encour-
age others to create art through the harmony of balancing
the body, mind and spirit.
In addition to her interest in yoga, Heidi is also a hula
hooper and a proponent of hula hooping for a great cardio-
vascular workout. She presented a popular hula hooping
class at Yoga Fest 2011 at Song of the Morning in August.
Hula hoops are available for sale at her Charlevoix Yoga

How To
Prepare
Your House
For Sale
Compliments of
Ed Wohlfiel
Part 2
Prepping and staging a
house. Every seller wants her
home to sell fast and bring top
dollar. Does that sound good to
you? Well, it's not luck that
makes that happen. It's careful
planning and knowing how to
professionally spruce up your
home that will send home buy-
ers scurrying for their check-
books. Here is how to prep a
house and turn it into an irre-
sistible and marketable home.
Here's How:
4. Rearrange Bedroom
Closets and Kitchen Cabinets.
Buyers love to snoop and will
open closet and cabinet doors.
Think of the message it sends if
items fall out! Now imagine
what a buyer believes about you
if she sees everything organ-
ized. It says you probably take
good care of the rest of the
house as well. This means:
Alphabetize spice jars.
Neatly stack dishes.
Turn coffee cup handles fac-
ing the same way.
Hang shirts together, but-
toned and facing the same
direction.
Line up shoes.
5. Rent a Storage Unit.
Almost every home shows
better with less furniture.
Remove pieces of furniture that
block or hamper paths and
walkways and put them in stor-
age. Since your bookcases are
now empty, store them. Remove
extra leaves from your dining
room table to make the room
appear larger. Leave just
enough furniture in each room
to showcase the room's pur-
pose and plenty of room to
move around. You don't want
buyers scratching their heads
and saying, "What is this room
used for?"
6. Remove/Replace Favorite
Items.
If you want to take window
coverings, built-in appliances
or fixtures with you, remove
them now. If the chandelier in
the dining room once belonged
to your great grandmother, take
it down. If a buyer never sees it,
she won't want it. Once you tell
a buyer she can't have an item,
she will covet it, and it could
blow your deal. Pack those
items and replace them, if nec-
essary.
7. Make Minor Repairs.
Replace cracked floor or
counter tiles.
Patch holes in walls.
Fix leaky faucets.
Fix doors that don't close
properly and kitchen drawers
that jam.
Consider painting your walls
neutral colors, especially if you
have grown accustomed to pur-
ple or pink walls.
(Don't give buyers any rea-
son to remember your home as
"the house with the orange
bathroom.")
Replace burned-out light
bulbs.
If you've considered replac-
ing a worn bedspread, do so
now!

What an outstanding real estate value.
This nicely maintained walkout ranch on three lots, PLUS views and
access to Lake Louise, is priced at a value that surely wont leave this offering
on the market very long.
The home features approximately 1,200 square feet of main level living
area, and an additional 1,200 feet of space in the walkout lower level. Thats
a lot of room for the growing family to enjoy, and includes three bedrooms,
two baths, large living room with fireplace, combination kitchen and dining
and a convenient utility room on the main level. There is a huge family room
area on the lower level with a free standing gas stove, plus a den and laundry
area, and there are also laundry hook-ups located on the main floor.
Lots of space is an ongoing theme with this property, and that continues
outdoors with a lot size that encompasses over eight-tenths of an acre, some
of which is fenced off for keeping the family pet close to home. There are two
decks from which to enjoy the outdoor views of the grounds, and some of
those views include beautiful Lake Louise. But lake views arent the only
amenity the homeowners will enjoy; this property also includes deeded
access to Lake Louise.
The home is well insulated, with R-11 floors, R-19 sidewalls, and R-30 ceil-
ing insulation values. There is also a 22 x 24 foot Shelter King canvas covered
storage unit on the property.
This is a whole lot of home offering the additional benefits of a large piece
of property and deeded lake access, and at just reduced listing price of
$59,900 it is also an incredible bargain.
