    WEST BRANCH TheGaylord girls of coach Frank Hamilla did the expected atthe court of Big North foeOgemaw Heights on Friday,Feb. 1, but the win didntcome easily.

    The Blue Devils reboundedfrom their loss to Petoskey the previous Monday to edgethe Falcons 42-34 in a physi-cal contest. Gaylord led by just a point, 19-18, at half-time before outscoring theg a m e - b u t - o u t m a n n e dFalcons 14-5 in the thirdquarter to break things open.

    Gaylord went aggressively to the hole in the first half and kept drawing fouls. TheBlue Devils shot 16 from thecharity stripe in the secondquarter alone and 27 for thegame. It led to a lot of gamestoppages and a choppy kindof game, especially in the first

    half.There wasnt a real good

    flow to the game (in the firsthalf), reported Gaylordcoach Frank Hamilla. Wecame out in the third quarterand played great team ball. We stepped it up defensively in that quarter and changedthe tempo of the game.

    Sizzling senior wing Mackenzie Edwards led allscorers once again. Macknifed her way through thelane to score on penetrating drives or to draw fouls andtake her turn at the charity

    stripe. When she wasnt driv-ing from the baseline or pass-ing to open teammates, she was making the twine dancefrom downtown.

    Mac finished another pro-ductive night in her stellarfour-year varsity career witha game-high 23 points. She ison the verge of becoming thefirst female player forGaylord to surpass 1,000points since Kelli Parker

    (then Kelli Kraniak) was wowing the Blue Devil faith-ful in the 1980s. Mac had theopportunity to reach thescoring milestone whenGaylord played host toTraverse City Central onTuesday, Feb. 5.

    Long-armed seniorChelsea Fox churned outseven points with a gritty performance inside and shealso grabbed eight rebounds.Junior guard Maddie Hamilla

    hauled in five boards and

    covered the floor defensively like snow on an evergreen,generating three steals whilemaking the Falcon ball han-dlers very wary.

    Senior guard SarahPerpetual Motion Polenapropelled herself up anddown the floor with the leverfixed on full throttle, as usual.She recorded two assists inthe big road win. Juniorguard Lauren Hintz was alock-down factor on defense

    also, recording two steals.

    The high-flying JV girls of coach Shelly Curtis contin-ued their strong play,outscoring Ogemaw 40-21.Lindsey Zaremba was zonedin, as usual. Lindsey launched 14 points. Brandi Wagner added wallop to theassault as well, scoring 12,and Aimee Kilbourn cor-ralled six caroms.

    Everyone played and worked hard, reported

    coach Curtis. After entertaining T.C.

    Central on Tuesday, the BlueDevils are slated to travel to Alpena for a Big North clashon Friday, Feb. 8, then play atClare in a rare Saturday game with the JV set for 3:30 andthe varsity tip-off set for 5p.m. On Tuesday, Feb. 12, theBlue Devils are on the roadagain to face T.C. Central.

    GAYLORD Another toughloss.

    The Gaylord boys of coachTim ORourke battled hardonce again, hustling andscrapping for 32 minutes, butthey couldnt generateenough firepower to outscorevisiting Big North foeOgemaw Heights on Friday.

    The Falcons held on for a53-43 decision. They improved to 4-7 overall and1-6 in the Big North. Gaylord was looking for its first win inthe league but it did notcome on this night. The BlueDevils slipped to 1-12 and 0-7.

    Bryan Rabine, the BlueDevils battling senior for- ward, rang up 14 points tolead the scoring column,including 4-of-5 free throws,and he racked up ninerebounds as well with anoth-

    er workmanlike effort. SeniorTyler Frisch fired in eightpoints with two connectionsfrom beyond the arc andlong-armed Zach Lundelllanded six points through theiron and latched onto six rebounds.

    Backcourt members TylerCherry, Leland Hughey, ChrisStout, Cam Taylor and JamesDunn turned in their typical-ly intense two-way effort,especially on defense. SeniorZach Pasternak pluggedsome key free throws to nar-row the gap in the fourthquarter.

    The effort was there forORourkes troops but not thepoints, thanks largely to thephysical, tough defenseemployed by the visiting Falcons.

    Gaylord captured the JV game in a real nail-biter, 71-23. The Blue Devil attack wasfortified with plenty of

    Vitamin B, as in Blayne

    Baker. Blayne blistered the

    nets for a game-high 24points and brought down a

    game-high 12 rebounds.

    Cotton Neff didnt shrink back from the fray either,

    connecting for nine points

    with four steals, and StevenFitzek found the bottom of

    the net for nine points to go

    with five rebounds. Collin Watters showered seven

    points through the rim and

    was a Windex Wonder under

    the glass, taking down eightrebounds. Slick sophomore

    guard DeMarco Pryor-

    McCovery delivered sevenpoints while Dalton Warden

    and Hunter Webber covered

    the floor defensively like afresh coat of wax.

    Gaylord (1-12, 0-7) played

    at T.C. Central on Tuesday,

    Feb. 5, after this issue went topress. On Friday, Feb. 8, the

    JOHANNESBURG The St.Mary boys of coach KenBlust made it two in a row inSki Valley thrillers onMonday. The Snowbirds,coming off a tense come-from-behind win at Onaway on Friday, posted a tense,razor-thin 45-44 victory atthe court of Johannesburg-Lewiston.

    The Snowbird win in therivalry game reversed an ear-lier 61-33 loss to J-L inGaylord back in December.

    This time around thegame was close all the way through, with neither teamable to gain any distance onthe scoreboard. St. Mary led23-20 at the half but trailed30-29 going into the fourthquarter. The teamsexchanged the lead severaltimes in the fourth quarter,including in the final minuteof regulation.

    A driving layup by crunch-time senior Cole Nagy brought the Cardinals from a44-42 deficit to knot thegame at 44 with less than 30seconds left to play.

    The Snowbirds moved theball around on the ensuing possession. With 9 secondsleft, junior forward CharlesStrehl was fouled whileshooting and went to theline. He hit the free throw that proved to be the game- winner.

    The Cardinals had achance to pull ahead in thefinal seconds but the St.Mary defense stood the testand didnt allow an uncon-tested shot.

    Strehl strummed the twinefor 10 points to lead a bal-

    anced scoring ledger for theSnowbirds in addition to hit-ting the game-winning freethrow. Strehl also grabbedseven rebounds and blockedthree shots to help securethe hard-fought win.

    Carmen Juneac generatednine points and point guardMatt Spyhalski spilled seven

    though the iron to go withsix boards and three assists.Rugged Nick Lochinskilocked in for six points andrecorded four steals andfluid Nick Harrington hit forsix points with four boards.

    Feisty freshman LoganHuff launched a game-high13 points for J-L and he wasa force defensively as well,recording three steals.Coalton Huff hit for sevenpoints and recorded fourassists.

    J-L (5-8, 4-7) played hostto league front-runner

    Bellaire on Wednesday, Feb.6. On Monday, Feb. 11, J-Lentertains Atlanta in a gamethat was rescheduled fromJan. 28.

    For a report on J-Ls Ski Valley clash with Forest Area,see the Boys Hoops report inthis issue.

    ON FRIDAY, the visiting Snowbirds rallied in the finalminutes from a 48-45 deficitto outscore Ski Valley foeOnaway 52-50 in anotherreal nail-biter.

    Seniors Matt Spyhalskiand Nick Lochinski drilledkey free throws in the lastminute of the game to put St.Mary over the top in the see-saw battle.

    Onaway, trailing 52-50,had two chances to tie or goahead in the final secondsbut two shots from 3-pointland flirted with the rimbefore falling out. It was avery tough home loss for theCardinals and an encourag-ing win on the road for the

    Snowbirds.Spyhalski had a produc-

    tive night from the back-court, hammering home 12points and pulling downseven boards. He also dishedoff four assists.

    Angular Charles Strehlstruck for 12 points to go with eight rebounds, threesteals and three assists andthe rugged Lochinski landed11 through the iron and alsoacquired four assists.Cameron Juneac connectedfor seven points to help thecause.

    "The boys came close toplaying a complete game,said St. Mary coach KenBlust. I thought after a goodstart, we came out a bit flatin the second quarter. Ourpatience on offense wastruly present.

    Onaway is a very big,physical team, and I believe we matched their attack inside the paint, he added.With the time slowly clos-ing out, the boys listenedand executed well, and fin-ished strong to end thegame. I was very pleased

    with this team effort.Junior Joe OBradovich,

    who is having a strong sea-son for the Cardinals, blis-tered the twine for 16 pointsand the cool hand of CarlosBautista accounted for 16 as well. Dangerous Andrew Prow produced 11 points.

    St. Mary (7-6, 5-6) washost to Pickford on Wednesday, Feb. 6, and onFriday, Feb. 8, the Snowbirdsplay at Pellston.

    By Mike Dunn

    CHEBOYGAN TheCheboygan girls of coachJason Purcell were staring atthe barrel end of an 18-pointdeficit in the first half Friday against talented Sault Ste.Marie. The Chiefs stormedback to make a game of it inthe second half but couldntquite make it all the way back in a tough 42-36 defeat.

    The Chiefs trailed 24-12 athalftime and 32-23 afterthree quarters. In the early part of the fourth quarter,though, Cheboygan churnedout points with precision totrim the Blue Devil lead to just three points, 34-31. SamBuhr made the nets swimfrom the free throw line tohelp fuel the run and scrappy sophomore Brooke Hancock pulled the trigger on a timely trey.

    The visitors responded,however, making their freethrows down the stretch tomaintain their lead.

    Senior guard CaitlinMcNeil and sophomoreMacey Charboneau each

    made the twine spin to thetune of 10 points to pace theChiefs. Hancock hammeredhome seven points to go withfive rebounds and she alsocovered the floor like a carpetdefensively, recording a whopping seven steals.

    Holly Socolovitch addedsome Soco-Motion to theoffense as well, striking forfour points and pulling downfive rebounds. BridgetBlaskowski was beastly on

    defense, making three steals,and she also dished off fourassists. Buhr brought downfive boards to go with threepoints.

    Cheboygan won the JV tilt44-37 as Autumn Hudak made her shots fall from allover the floor, accounting for17 points. Brooke Beaubienbrought nine points throughthe iron.

    Cheboygan played atPetoskey on Tuesday, Feb. 5.

    TRAVERSE CITY ThePetoskey girls of coach AdamDobrowolski improved to 13-2 overall and 8-1 in the Big North with a tense 65-20 vic-tory over host Traverse City Central on Friday.

    It was the heavy artillery supplied by seniors Kelsey Ance, Megan Tompkins and Alyssa VanWerden leading the way once again for thehigh-powered Northmen.

    Kelsey, who is having anincredible year, connectedfor a game-high 20 points togo with eight rebounds, fiveassists and four steals on atypically effective night.Tompkins cast a long shadow under the glass, as usual,using her 6-foot-3 frame tocontrol play at both ends.Megan muscled down 13rebounds and blocked sevenshots and she also made 12points for a double-double.The steady VanWerden waxed the twine for a career-

    high 13 points and was a fly-ing force defensively, record-ing four steals.

    Liz Fraser fired in six points while sweet-shooting sopho-more Kati Lewis locked in forfive and Asia Abram-Craig also connected for five.

    GAYLORD The Petoskey hockey squad paid a visit tothe Otsego County Sportsplex for a Big Northshowdown on Friday, Feb. 1,and came away with a hard-fought 5-3 victory. TheNorthmen generated numer-ous scoring opportunities inthe game but the steady play of goalie Peter Lawton keptthe Blue Devils in the huntalmost to the end.

    Harrison Quaal hammeredone home for Gaylord at theoutset of the third period totrim Petoskeys lead to 4-3.Quaals first goal of the sea-son, coming with help fromSeth Muzyl and Anthony Tomaski, ignited the hope of a late comeback for Gaylord.

    The Blue Devils battledhard to get another goal pastpatient Petoskey netminderBreanna Merriam but she was up to the task. Gaylordhad a power play opportuni-ty midway through the finalperiod but could not producethe tying goal as Merriamturned away everything directed at her.

    Petoskey senior defense-man Nik Kolodziej is notedmore for his jarring hits andpuck-clearing abilities thanhis scoring punch. In Fridaysgame, though, Nik turned inthe biggest goal of his career(and only one to date) with asizzling slammer from the

    point to seal the deal for theNorthmen. His goal, withhelp from Ken Forton, putPetoskey on top 5-3 with justa few minutes left in regula-tion.

    Aaron Cook put some heatunder the Petoskey attack inthe early going as he scoredunassisted to put theNorthmen ahead 1-0. Then it was Cannon Kenny Fortonunleashing another explosiveblast to light the scoring lamp later in the period andgive the visitors a 2-0 advan-tage.

    Gaylord gallantly rallied totie the score at 2 as tenaciousTrevor Raymond and smoothSeth Muzyl rattled the twine just 90 seconds apart midway through the second period.Trevors goal came during afive-minute power play withhelp from Jackson Deans andMuzyls missile was aided by the reliable Raymond.

    The 2-2 tie didnt last long,though, as Petoskey scoredtwice in the final minutes of the period to pull ahead 4-2.First, Brandon Pomrankepowered one home with helpfrom Nick Trombley to make

    it 3-2 and then trench-toughTanner Davis delivered thegoods with help from SkyePilot Skye Pieffer andBryndon Worden.

    Quaals timely tally at thestart of the third periodchanged the complexion of the game again, however,

    giving Gaylord hope of a rally.That hope was thwarted,though, thanks to Kolonziej.

    Peter Lawton turned away 29 of 34 shots sent his way by the swarming Northmen anddid a credible job keeping theBlue Devils in contention.Merriam stopped 11 of 14shots for Petoskey and someof those saves were difficultones, especially in the sec-ond period.

    ON SATURDAY, Petoskey played at Bay City andthwarted the Thunder by a 4-1 count. It was sixth win inthe last seven games for theNorthmen, who improved to13-8 overall.

    Sophomore goalie MikeMcCain was merely magnifi-cent between the pipes, stop-ping all but one shot in thecontest, including a break-away.

    Kevin Hansen laid thehammer down for theNorthmen offensively, ring-ing up a pair of goals. Cook helped provide the recipe forsuccess also, connecting on aone-timer for a goal and SkyePieffer scored also with help

    from a perfect feed providedby Tanner Davis.

    Tanner had two assists inthe game and the fearsomeKen Forton also had anassist.

    Petoskey (13-8, 3-4) facedGaylord again on Wednesday,Feb. 6, at Griffin Arena. It is

    also the second annualPink-at-the-Rink Cancer Awareness game and servesas a fundraiser for cancerresearch. All proceeds fromthe game will be donated tothe Kathleen Jontz BreastHealth Fund through theMcLaren Northern MichiganFoundation. On Friday, Feb.8, the Northmen are on theroad against Saginaw Nouvel.

    ON SATURDAY, Gaylordsuffered a heartbreaking 4-3overtime loss at MountPleasant. The Blue Devilsheld a 3-2 lead in the secondperiod but the Oilers ZachHeeke zoomed one home with just a second left in theperiod to tie the score at 3.

    After a scoreless third peri-od, the game went into over-time and Nick Coscarelly scored unassisted just 2:05 togive the Oilers the win.

    Gaylord trailed twice in thegame and rallied each time inpursuit of the first win.

    The Blue Devils trailed 1-0in the first period whenMissile Mitch Lawtonlaunched a laser 5:05 into theperiod to knot the score at 1.

    Trevor Raymond notched hissixth assist of the season onLawtons goal and JacksonDean earned his fourthassist.

    In the second period,Danny Pulver of the Oilerscashed in a power play, oneof eight power play opportu-

    nities they had in the game,to put Mount Pleasant on top2-1.

    The Blue Devils rebounded with a pair of goals to takethe lead themselves in theperiod. Sudden Sam Black once again displayed hisdiploma from the School of Sock, sending a sizzling slammer past sprawling Mount Pleasant goalieTheron Krapek to forge a rip-ping 2-2 tie. Anthony Tomaski fed Black for theshort-handed goal.

    Then tenacious TrevorRaymond rang one up withhelp from the ubiquitous Mr.Black and Drake Olson, whoput himself in the right placeat the right time and earnedhis first assist of the season.Trevors timely tally made it3-2 and it looked like the lead

    might hold up the way BlueDevil goalie Peter Lawton was turning the shots away.

    But Mount Pleasant hadone power play too many.Heekes hummer tied thescore at 3.

    In the third period, MountPleasant had too more powerplays. Lawton was up to thechallenge and didnt allow the Oilers to score on either.The Blue Devils spent somuch time killing penalties,however, that they didnt get

    to mount much of an attack.Mount Pleasant out-shot

    the Blue Devils 31-12 in thecontest.

    Swatting flies with a sledgehammerMarabelle is visiting her friend Lulu for tea. She notices several holes in the wall and a window pane missing not to

    mention a huge dent or two in the refrigerator.Lulu dear, Im not trying to be nosey but what on earth did all this damage to your beautiful home?Oh that was just Bubba swatting flies:Swatting flies? He did all that damage with a little bitty flyswatter?Oh no Marablle dear. Bubba uses a sledgehammer.Now we all know that flies buzzing around the house and making a mess is a problem that needs to be dealt with.

    We also know that while a sledgehammer does kill the fly it leaves a lot of unnecessary damage. Sometimes thatdamage only makes the problem worse. For instance bust out a window and youll end up with a lot more flies andother bugs than you ever had before.

    In raising children there are issues that need to be dealt with. If left alone the problem will only get worse and goon to create severe issues in adulthood.

    Your child doesnt do their homework for whatever reason. The sledgehammer response is:What are you stupid, do you want to grow up to be an idiot? Well dont worry about growing up to be oneyou

    already are! I cant believe anything as ignorant as you came from my loins! Your child is disruptive on a regular basis at the dinner table. The sledgehammer response is:These are the days that make me wish you had never been born! This family would be better off without you! Your child is playing with the puppy and pulls its ears. The sledgehammer response is:You sicko! What are you doing? Youre going to grow up like all those other murderers that started out hurting ani-

    mals. You probably dream about shooting us when were sleeping dont you? You catch your son on a porn site on the internet. The sledgehammer response is:You pervert! Youre going to be the next Jeffery Dahlmer or Charles Manson. My God! What am I going to do. I

    cant have a sex fiend in this house. Your sisters will never be safe!Think Im over the top? Think again. These things and things like them are said every day. Want to hear one worse

    than that?So you forgot to feed your dog again? What will Pastor Bob think of you when I tell him? Some Christian you are!Ive known more than one child with Christian parents who uses the Bible as their sledgehammer and invokes the

    pastor as the boogeyman from God.Lord, help me to deal with issues as you would. Keep the sledgehammer out of my hands and even more impor-

    tantly out of my mouth. Amen.

    Thoughts on... What have you heard someone say that was like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer??

    Ford Fusionand

    Fusion Hybridearn Top Vehicle SafetyRating from NHTSA

    The 2013 Ford Fusion and FusionHybrid received a top vehicle safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).The Fusion and Fusion Hybridreceived a five-star Overall VehicleScore in NHTSA New Car AssessmentProgram (NCAP) testing, which com-

    bines vehicle performance in frontaland side-impact crash tests and resist-ance to rollover.

    The Fusion and Fusion Hybridexemplify the new face of Ford vehi-cles and demonstrate Fords commit-ment to safety in all its vehicles acrossthe globe, said Steve Kenner, GlobalDirector of the Ford Automotive Safety Office (ASO).

    The new five-star safety award fromNHTSA is in addition to the 2013Fusion being named a Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute forHighway Safety (IIHS) last month. TheTop Safety Pick + designation is thehighest rating the organization has for

    vehicle safety.The all-new Fusion features thePersonal Safety SystemTM with new safety belt technologies and frontimpact airbags.

    The Personal Safety SystemTM is anetwork of components that work together to tailor the deployment of the front airbags during frontal colli-sions. The restraint control module(RCM) translates information collectedby the front crash sensors, front out-board safety belt buckle switches, driv-er-seat track position and passengerseat weight sensor. Using this informa-tion, the RCM activates the safety beltpretensioners and determines how thedual-stage front airbags will deploy.This tailored airbag deployment isbased upon system inputs receivedabout the size, seat track position andsafety belt usage of the front seatoccupants.

    The redesigned seat-mounted sideairbags deploy lower in the pelvis areaand incorporate new venting technol-ogy. The side airbags venting technol-ogy takes into account the size of theoccupant, and varies the pressure sosmaller occupants receive a lowerpressure.

    The tunnel vent is lined up with theshoulder area of the occupant. On

    larger passengers, the shoulderengages the vent and keeps it fromventing so the gas stays inside theairbag. On smaller passengers, theeffect is just the opposite: Because theoccupants shoulder is below the vent,the gas vents out of the airbag.

    The drivers airbag uses a reconfig-ured curve-shaped tether system thatpulls in the lower section to create apocket that help to lessen the impactof the airbag on the drivers chest andribs in frontal crashes. Deploying atthe same time is a drivers knee airbag.

    The Fusion and Fusion Hybrid boastleading fuel economy and numeroustechnologies that help enhance thedriving experience, reduce stress andassist the driver. Fusion brings thebroadest selection of fuel-efficientpowertrains in the midsize car seg-ment. Consumers have the choice of apair of EcoBoostfour-cylinder engines,a normally aspirated four-cylinderengine, an automatic start stop systemto shut off the engine at stationary idle, front-wheel drive and all-wheeldrive applications, and a choicebetween automatic and manually shifted six-speed transmissions.

    Maneuvering parking lots and trav-eling open roadways becomes lessstressful with Fusions available sen-sor-based BLIS (Blind SpotInformation System) with cross-trafficalert. The system uses radar to identify and alert the driver if a vehicle isdetected in the vehicles blind spot.Cross-traffic alert provides audible andvisual alerts if traffic is detectedapproaching from the sides, such as when backing out of a parking space.

    Available Active Park Assist makesparallel parking virtually stress-free. With the press of a button, the systemdetects an available parallel parking space and automatically steers thevehicle into the space. Drivers controlonly the gas and brake pedals andtransmission gear position.

    Other driver assist technologiesavailable on the Fusion include:

    - Lane Keeping Assist- Adaptive Cruise Control- Rearview Camera- Hill Start Assist- Electronic Parking Break
