    1/10

    By Mike Dunn

    GAYLORD The Gaylord

    soccer gals of coach Sean

    Byram had a BIG week in the

    Big North. On Tuesday, April

    23, the Blue Devils outscored

    perennial league rival

    Petoskey 1-0 in a thrilling,

    seesaw battle played in wet,

    blustery conditions at home.

    On Friday, the Blue Devils

    outscored visiting league foe

    Alpena 1-0 and on Saturday

    they traveled to the field of

    high-powered Cadillac and

    secured a hard-fought 1-1 tie.

    One catalyst of the three

    victories for Gaylord was the

    super play of senior goalie

    Alex Simmons. Alex was sim-

    ply sensational, permitting

    just one goal in three match-es against three very tough

    league foes.

    In the intense, rain-soaked

    battle with Petoskey, it was

    Gaylords opportunistic jun-

    ior midfielder Rebecca

    Pensyl helping to write the

    victory script, using her edu-

    cated foot to beat talented

    Petoskey goalie Kelsey Ance

    on a penalty kick midway

    through the first half.

    That proved to be the only

    shot that beat either goalie

    on the day. Ance made sever-

    al strong stops to prevent

    Gaylord from adding to its

    lead and Simmons turned

    away everything directed her

    way. Alex made a spectacular

    diving save on a breakaway

    with about eight minutes left

    to preserve the narrow lead.

    Alex had plenty of support

    in front of her as Kaycie

    Burroughs, Brooke Stier,

    Lindsay Zaremba and Arica

    Alread formed a Blue Wall of

    Defiance. Hustling midfield-

    ers Kaylor Mikolowski and

    Chelsea Fox also helped tobolster the defense with their

    heady play and accurate out-

    let passing.

    Senior striker Sarah Polena

    was perpetual motion for the

    Blue Devils, as usual, helping

    to launch an assault that

    accounted for eight shots on

    net. Maddie Hamilla, Brandi

    Wagner and Pensyl also kept

    the heat on.

    ON FRIDAY in the tense 1-

    0 victory over Alpena, the for-

    mula for success was very

    similar. The defense in front

    of Simmons clogged the

    Wildcat passin g lanes and

    Simmons took care of every-

    thing that got through to her.

    At the other end, the only

    Gaylord goal of the match

    came late in second half

    when junior for ward Maddie

    Hamilla took a perfect feed

    from teammate Sarah Polena

    and propelled one through.

    On a day when the Blue

    Devils were controlling play

    at both ends, the one goal

    was enough.

    ON SATURDAY, the Blue

    Devils traveled south to

    Cadillac, a place where they

    traditionally dont play very

    well. Cadillac jumped to an

    early lead in the match that

    was rescheduled from earlier

    in the month, but the visiting

    Blue Devils rallied to forge

    the 1-1 tie.

    With Gaylord trailing 1-0 in

    the second half, Kinsey

    Burroughs found the flying

    figure of teammate Taylor

    Kaiser crashing toward the

    net and delivered a pretty

    feed. Kaiser accepted the

    pass and came through in the

    clutch, blasting a big-time

    goal to salvage the tie.

    After allowing the early

    goal, Simmons was as

    impenetrable as a granite

    wall.

    Gaylord improved to 2-1-1

    with the victori es over

    Petoskey and Alpena and the

    tie with Cadillac.

    MANCELONA The Lady

    Ironmen brought the brooms

    out on the home diamond

    Monday, posting an impres-

    sive sweep of Ski Valley foe

    Forest Area. The scores were

    14-3 and 17-1.

    Senior ace Kallie Derrer,

    back after guiding

    Mancelona to 25 wins and its

    first-ever district title in soft-

    ball a year ago, is picking up

    right where she left off. Kalliewas cool, collected and in

    control from the circle as she

    hurled her team to the sweep

    of the Warriors.

    In the opener, Kallie

    notched nine Ks in four

    innings of work and didnt

    permit the Warriors a single

    hit. Dakota Derrer hurled one

    inning of relief, striking out

    two and allowing one hit and

    one unearned run.

    Mancy simply manhan-

    dled Warrior pitching the

    twinbill, muscling out hit

    after hit in an 11-run first

    inning. Taylor Robbinsrecorded two hits and

    knocked in three runs to help

    fuel the offensive uprising.

    Logan Allen also laced a pair

    of hits and knocked in a pair

    of runs. Kallie helped her

    own cause, going 2-for-2 with

    two RBIs and two runs

    scored, and Dakota Derrer,

    who set a national mark for

    triples in a season last year,

    was up to old tricks, going 1-

    for-1 with an RBI triple. She

    scored three times.

    In game two, Kallie put the

    K on six Forest Area hitters

    in the mercy-shortened con-

    test.

    Dakota Derrer continued

    to deliver at the plate, drilling

    another triple and an inside-

    the-park home run. She

    knocked in four of Mancys

    runs and scored twice.

    Kallie Derrer and Logan

    Allen were in line drive mode

    again, each lashing a pair of

    hits. Taylor Robbins rang up

    an RBI single and Lindsey

    Friday went 1-for-2 with two

    runs scored.The Lady Ironmen are in

    action again on Thursday,

    May 2, at Pellston.

    Onaway shuts out

    Cardinals

    ONAWAY Onaway played

    host to Ski Valley rival

    Johannesburg-Lewiston on

    Monday and Emmy Sizzle

    was superb in the circle, as

    usual.

    Senior Emily Estep, now in

    the fourth year of her phe-

    nomenal prep career, had the

    sizzle going and the visitors

    from Johannesburg were not

    able to do much. Onaway

    won by scores of 9-0 and 7-0.

    Emmy allowed five hits in

    the opener with a walk and

    she struck out 13 J-L hitters.

    Morganne Badgero, who

    has been just punishing

    enemy pitching so far in the

    young season, kept up her

    blistering attack, going a

    whopping 4-for-4 with a dou-

    ble and four RBIs. Emmy,

    who can also wear you out

    with the bat in her hands,

    laced a pair of hits and

    knocked in two.

    Temara Lupu lined a three-

    run double while Megan

    Estep, Lindsay LaLonde and

    Sam Brasseur each belted a

    hit.

    Emmy continued to

    assault the strike zone in the

    second game, firing an effi-

    cient three-hitter at the visi-

    tors with eight Ks. Emmy

    also muscled three hits,

    including a double and a

    majestic home run that somesay is still traveling out there

    in space somewhere.

    Badgero busted a two-run

    single. Megan Estep and

    Ashley LaLonde each laced

    an RBI hit and Lupu went 1-

    for-3.

    Onaway, which improved

    to 5-1overall and 5-1 in the

    league, plays host to non-

    league foe Rogers City on

    Thursday, May 2.

    Mio powers past

    Huskies

    ATLANTA Mio mound

    ace Jalen DeFlorio was just

    perfect on Monday.

    Jalen hurled a perfect

    game in the opener of a twin-

    bill with North Star League

    foe Atlanta. She also won the

    second game. The scores

    were 16-0 and 10-1.

    Mio slugger Kaylie Spies

    put the spank on Huskie

    pitching in the two games,

    going 3-for-3 in the opener

    and launching a home run in

    the nightcap.

    DeFlorio also propelled

    one deep and far and over

    the fence in the sweep.

    ON THURSDAY, April 25,

    the high-powered

    Thunderbolts disposed of

    Hale in a pair of real nail-

    biters, 19-0 and 22-2.

    DeFlorio fired a no-hitter

    in the opener with six Ks and

    she delivered with the bat as

    well, battering Hale pitches

    all game long. Jalen jacked

    out two home runs and a

    double and knocked in five

    Mio runs with her powersurge. Steph Mangutz added

    some electricity of her own,

    stroking a home run and a

    triple with three RBIs. Mimi

    Rondo and Shelby Satkowiak

    put some sock into the attack

    also, each drilling two dou-

    bles.

    Taylor Blamer earned the

    win for the Thunderbolts in

    the nightcap, permitting

    seven hits in the mercy-

    shortened contest. Leslie

    Asman was a line drive wait-

    ing to happen each time at

    the plate, recording four hits.

    DeFlorio continued her tor-rid assault, delivering a triple

    and a double. Kaylie Spies

    and Steph Mangutz also

    mashed a triple and double

    apiece and Rondo ripped two

    triples.

    FIFE LAKE Onaway

    pushed its record to 3-1 over-

    all and in the Ski Valley with a

    known as Emmy Sizzle,

    served up seeds, as usual,

    helping the Cardinals to edge

    out the host Warriors 18-2

    and 16-0.

    Emmy, in the final year of

    her brilliant prep career,

    struck out 13 over a com-

    bined seven innings in the

    two mercy-shortened games.

    She allowed one earned run

    in the opener.

    double and Devin Bristley,

    triple. Badgero continued to

    GAYLORD The Gaylord

    boys and girls track teams

    played host to Big North foes

    Cadillac and Traverse City

    West on Wednesday, April 24.

    The girls of coach Jeff

    Kalember earned a split

    against the two tough oppo-

    nents, defeating Cadillac 89-

    68 but falling to the Titans 99-

    89.

    Were using these dual

    and tri-meets to try girls in

    new events and experiment abit, Kalember reported. Im

    confident we can beat both

    teams at our Big North finals

    in late May.

    The big scorers for the

    Gaylord gals once again were

    seniors Alanna Johnston and

    Allison Fischer, each of

    whom scored a whopping 20

    points.

    Alanna, who puts the V

    in Versatility, cleared 5-foot-2

    in the high jump for the first

    time in two years, putting her

    right on the mark for another

    state finals berth. Alanna also

    took the top spot in the 200

    dash in a blazing time of 28.4seconds and anchored the

    winning 1600 relay and the

    runner-up 400 relay.

    Allison tossed a career-best

    108-3 feet in the discus, beat-

    ing her old personal best by a

    whopping five feet and near-

    ing the state finals qualifier

    mark at the same time.

    Fischer also captured the

    shot put with a Herculean

    heave of 33 feet, 6 inches.

    Katelynn Dreyer, Cindy

    Fiser and Andrea Mason

    each had 13 points to provide

    another boost for the Blue

    Devils.

    Katelynns relays and 400dash were a huge plus for us,

    Kalember said. Fiser and

    Mason continue to impress

    me in the hurdles. Theyve

    worked extremely hard the

    lastg two years and its paying

    dividends.

    Dependable Mai Dao and

    Erin Borgeson rounded out

    Gaylords top scorers, helping

    the cause in the relays and

    open events.

    Dreyer, Borgeson and Dao

    teamed with Johnston in the

    dominant 1600 relay (4:30.4).

    Dreyer capped her outstand-

    ing day with a first-place fin-

    ish in the open 400 (1:04.1).Grace Sanders soared to a

    season-best distance of 14

    feet, 6 inches, good for sec-

    ond in the long jump and

    feisty freshman Mallory

    Marshall motored to second

    in the 1600 run (6:14.2).

    The Gaylord boys also

    boasted some very good

    individual performances.

    Smooth-striding senior

    speedster Trae Hill thrilled

    the home fans with another

    blazing outing in the 400

    dash, finishing a blink

    behind Tyler Johnson of T.C.

    West.

    Senior Nate Fischer, reli-able as the times tables, flew

    to first in the 800 run and

    took second in the 1600 run,

    just behind Alex Ondrajka of

    the Titans.

    The Blue Devils fleet four-

    some of Fischer, Hill, Jake

    Henley and Collin Watters

    poured it on to take first in

    the 1600 relay. Steven Fitzek

    was a flier for the Blue Devils

    in the 110 high hurdles.

    Gaylord was on the road

    this Wednesday, May 1, in

    another league meet at

    Alpena.

    awesome day, firing a 76 on

    the challenging Cadillac

    beautiful day, and the Blue

    Devils did not disappoint,

    GRAYLING The Grayling

    girls varsity soccer team

    worked its way back to the

    .500 mark, with a 5-0 shutout

    of rival Kalkaska on

    Thursday, April 25.

    We came out right away

    and dominated the middle,

    said Viking head coach Craig

    Cobb. This allowed us to

    have complete control and

    continue to move the ball

    around the field setting each

    other up.

    The host Vikings took con-

    trol of the game and connect-

    ed well on crosses and 10 to

    15 yard passes, according to

    their coach.

    Senior Hannah Haven had

    3 goals to lead the Grayling

    soccer squad, while junior

    Colbie Wakeley and sopho-

    more Hailey Whittaker each

    had one goal. Also, junior

    Tandy Mitchell notched 2

    assists, with senior Alyssa

    Morley adding another

    helper.

    The win over the visiting

    Blue Blazers improved

    Graylings overall mark on

    the 2013 season to 3-3 and 2-

    3 in the Lake Michigan

    Conference.

    Grayling 4,

    Roscommon 0The match versus at

    Roscommon on Wednesday,

    April 24, might not have

    started the way the Lady

    Vikes would have wanted.

    But, the end result was exact-

    ly want Grayling had worked

    for, with the team heading

    home with a 4-0 victory over

    the host Bucks.

    We came out on our heels,

    but were able to gather our-

    selves and take control of the

    middle of the field about 10-

    15 minutes into the game,

    Cobb said. At that point, we

    began applying pressure to

    the Roscommon defense.

    Haven helped get Grayling

    on the board, as she maneu-

    vered through the defense off

    of an assist by Mitchell to go

    up 1-0. Hannah scored two

    more before half.

    In the second half, the

    Lady Bucks stepped up their

    defense and made it difficult

    to score. But that didnt stop

    Haven, who again found the

    back of the net for her fourth

    goal of the match off an assist

    on the throw-in from senior

    Maddie Benardo.

    Mitchell, Morley and

    Benardo each had an assist inthe game.

    Overall, I was happy with

    our performance, Cobb

    added. We need to work as a

    team starting each game

    strong, but I was very pleased

    with the way we controlled

    the ball and starting develop-

    ing our passing.

    Grayling 0, TC Liberty 0

    (W )

    The Lady Vikes couldnt

    defend their home field on

    Monday, April 22, against vis-

    iting Traverse City Liberty,

    despite keeping the visitors

    scoreless in regulation, over-

    time and even double over-

    time.

    We knew this would be a

    game that would give us a

    cadence for where we were as

    a team, Cobb said. We

    came out and played aggres-

    sive and had multiple oppor-

    tunities.

    The Traverse City keeper

    did a good job of closing out

    our pressure and stifled theattempts we took.

    Despite shifts in momen-

    tum, neither team put a goal

    on the scoreboard in regula-

    tion play.

    We had the wind with us

    in the first half and con-

    trolled most of that half,

    Cobb said. The second half

    came and the momentum

    shifted slightly in Liberty's

    favor.

    But, still, there was no

    score. Not in regulation. Not

    in the first overtime. Not in

    double overtime.

    We went into penalty

    kicks and lost, the coach

    said. (But, Grayling keeper)

    Laura Simpson played great

    in goal with 10 saves and one

    save during the penalty kicks.

    I was happy with our

    effort. We will be working on

    how to become more effi-

    cient on the offensive end of

    the game.

    While Grayling struggle d

    offensively, Cobb added the

    teams defense led by out-

    standing play from senior

    Sarah Goodyear, sophomore

    Rachel Money, junior

    Meghan Beard and Wakeley,

    who dug and held of TCs

    offensive push, according to

    their coach.

    Gra"ling kickers shutout rial Kalkaska, 5-0

    By Mike Dunn

    PELLSTON The condi-

    tions were pretty soggy but

    the St. Mary baseball team

    showed up and played pretty

    well on Monday at Pellston in

    a Ski Valley doubleheader.

    Fueled by dominant pitch-

    ing from Matt Spyhalski and

    lightning lefty Brendon

    Nowicki, the Snowbirds

    recorded a 12-1, 10-1 sweep

    of the host Hornets.

    Spyhalski, a senior, had it

    all working in the opener,

    moving the ball in and out

    and up and down and keep-

    ing the hard-hitting Hornets

    off stride. Spyhalski recorded

    a no-hitter, striking out four

    with one walk and an

    unearned run.

    Spyhalski supported him-

    self at the plate in the opener,

    spanking a pair of singles and

    knocking in two runs.

    Scrappy senior Nick

    Lochinski laced three hits

    and fleet centerfielder Nick

    Harrington hammered out

    two hits and swiped two

    bases. Adam Nowicki also

    stole two bases.

    In game two, Nowicki per-

    mitted two hits during his

    time on the hill. Anthony

    Zielinski was zoned in also,

    pitching two scoreless

    innings of relief.

    Spyhalski continued to

    spray hits all over the place in

    the nightcap, generating two

    more singles. It was also a

    milestone game for feisty

    freshman John Paul Zielinski,

    who zapped the first two hits

    of his young varsity career.

    He also knocked in a run.

    Pat OConnor and Nick

    Lochinski each stroked sin-

    gles in game two, as did

    Anthony Zielinsk i,

    Harrington and Jack

    Lochinski.

    St. Mary played nearly

    flawlessly in the field, com-

    mitting just two errors in the

    twinbill in spite of the wet

    conditions. The outfield of

    Anthony Zielinski, John Paul

    Zielinski and Harrington

    showed up big on several

    occasions.

    St. Mary (2-2) played host

    to Forest Area on Wednesday,

    May 1, before traveling to

    Inland Lakes on Thursday.

    Snowbirds are dominant in sweepSpyhalski fires no-hitter Monday in St. Mary sweep of SVC foe Pellston

    By Mike Dunn

    ONAWAY Two of the top-

    tier teams in the Ski Valley

    locked horns in an early-sea-

    son baseball showdown on

    Monday when

    Johannesburg-L ewiston

    made the trip to Onaway. The

    host Cardinals prevailed in

    the tense opener 6-5. J-L

    owned a 4-3 lead in the

    nightcap when the game was

    suspended in the bottom of

    the fourth because of dark-

    ness.

    Lefty Andrew Prow, fresh

    off a no-hitter against Forest

    Area in his previous start,

    took to the hill in game one

    for Onaway and Sean Paris

    toed the rubber for J-L.

    Onaway jumped to an

    early 4-0 lead and never

    trailed in the game.

    Prow was strong in spite of

    a spitting rain, going six

    innings against the potent J-

    L lineup, allowing three

    earned runs while striking

    out six.

    Chris Cleaver connected

    for one of the key Onaway

    hits, a two-run double, and

    he also scored a run. ChaeWhitsitt whacked a two-run

    single and scored a run and

    Andrew Perry was 1-for-2

    with two stolen bases and a

    run scored.

    Paris pitched well for J-L in

    the opener, not allowing an

    earned run. He allowed six

    hits in six innings of work

    with four Ks. Senior Cole

    Nagy tossed an inning of

    scoreless relief, walking two

    and striking out one.

    We had two bad innings

    and it killed us, said Hall of

    Fame J-L coach Rick Guild.

    We played pretty well in the

    field other than that.

    Onaways got a good team

    this year. Their pitchers are

    solid and they can hit the

    ball. Theyre right up there.

    Coalton Huff hammered

    out two hits, including an

    RBI double, and senior Alex

    Payne pounded out two hits

    with a two-run single.

    Catcher Brad Kussrow

    cranked an RBI double and

    Paris produced two hits with

    an RBI.

    Jake Newell went to the hill

    for J-L in the nightcap. He

    fired four innings with six

    strikeouts and four walks.

    Whitsitt started for the host

    Cardinals.

    Koronka cracked a double

    for J-L. Logan Huff laced an

    RBI single and Payne pound-

    ed an RBI single before thegame was suspended.

    J-L slipped to 4-1 overall

    and 4-1 in the league while

    Onaway improved to 5-0

    overall and 5-0 in the league.

    Onaway plays host to Rogers

    City on Thursday, May 2.

    J-L brings broom to

    Bellaire

    BELLAIRE The

    Johannesburg-L ewiston

    Cardinals of coach Rick Guild

    put the broom to host

    Bellaire in a Ski Valley twin-

    bill on Friday, April 26. The

    Cards won by scores of 8-5

    and 7-5 to push their record

    to a perfect 4-0.

    Sean Paris lit it up in relief

    in the opener, going the final

    four innings to earn the W.Sean allowed just one earned

    run and four hits during his

    time on the hill.

    Paris also helped his own

    cause, cracking an RBI dou-

    ble. Brad Kussrow was a per-

    fect 2-for-2 with two walks

    and two RBIs and senior Cole

    Nagy also contributed, con-

    necting for a timely two-run

    single

    Nagy earned the win in the

    nightcap, also in relief. Nagy

    was nearly perfect with his

    stint from the third inning

    on, allowing no hits and no

    runs. The only blemish was a

    walk.Coalton Huff had the bat

    going, collecting three hits,

    and Kussrow had another big

    game, knocking in three

    more runs. Garrett Koronka

    also clubbed an RBI single.

    Onaway sweeps past

    Warriors

    FIFE LAKE Onaway

    pushed its record to a

    sparkling 4-0 in the young

    season with a sweep of host

    Forest Area on Thursday,

    April 25.

    The Cardinals received

    stellar pitching and defense

    in the two impressive wins,

    both shutouts. The scores

    were 6-0 and 7-0.

    In the opener, junior

    Andrew Prow had the electric

    stuff going for him as hezapped the Warrior bats

    throughout the game. Prow

    fired a no-hitter and broke

    the school record for strike-

    outs in a single game with 12.

    Senior Andrew Perry

    waved a wicked stick to sup-

    port Prows pitching. Perry

    pounded out three hits with a

    double and he tore up the

    basepaths, stealing three

    times. Matt Tollini, Justin

    Gedda and Christian Cleaver

    each knocked in two runs.

    In the nightcap, Chae

    Whitsitt twirled the Cards to

    the shutout triumph, allow-

    ing two hits and striking outfour.

    Perry continued to pound

    the ball all over the place,

    notching three more hits to

    go with three more RBIs and

    three more stolen bases!

    Whitsitt was a wizard on the

    basepaths also, stealing three

    times, and he also generated

    an RBI. Gedda churned it up

    like cheddar on the bases,

    recording five steals for the

    fleet, free-running Cardinals.

    Mio powers past Hale

    HALE Mio powered to a

    sweep of host Hale in North

    Star League play on Friday,

    April 26, taking the two by

    scores of 18-0 and 19-4.

    Charles Atin tossed a

    three-hitter and struck out

    seven in the opener and he

    had lots of support. Nick

    Mangutz manhandled

    enemy pitching, muscling a

    pair of hits and knocking in

    two runs, and Zach Mack, the

    Thunderbolts state wrestling

    champion, showed he can

    more than master the mats

    as he mauled a pair of hits

    and knocked in a pair of runs.

    Bryson Devers, Seth

    Thomey and Micah Thomey

    also contributed hits to the

    offensive barrage.

    Brad Rhodes ruled on the

    hill for the Thunderbolts in

    the nightcap, striking out sixwith four hits and two earned

    runs.

    Seth Thomey tagged two

    hits in game two, as did

    Aaron Fox and Atin.

    Hornets fall to St.

    Ignace

    PELLSTON Host Pellston

    put up a tough fight against

    talented non-league foe St.

    Ignace on Friday, April 26,

    but couldnt quite generate

    enough runs to avoid a

    sweep. St. Ignace prevailed in

    the two wild, seesaw battles

    by scores of 9-7 and 10-9.

    Senior Jake Friedenstab

    started and took the loss in

    the opener, going the first

    five innings. He permitted

    five hits and struck out four.

    Hunter Cameron tossed a

    perfect inning of relief, strik-

    ing out two.

    Friedenstab struck two hits

    in the opener. Baylon Kerr

    cracked a single, as did

    Austin Wright, Alex Readman

    and Pete Laughbaum.

    Cameron was on the hill

    for the Hornets in the night-

    cap, allowing four hits in four

    innings with three Ks. Aaron

    Kindell went two innings,

    allowing two hits.

    John Ritter recorded a

    ringing single for Pellston, asdid Jared Reimann,

    Camerson and Kerr.

    Friedenstab, who has been

    hammering the ball in the

    early going, ripped a two-run

    double.

    North Central Michigan Colleges Luncheon Lectures in

    May will take a look at teaching math, and present the mem-

    ories of an Air Force flight nurse. Both luncheons are at noon

    in the Library conference room on the Petoskey campus.

    On Friday, May 3, Brian Goetz, math instructor at North

    Central, will talk about teaching math. While many careers

    require an understanding of mathematics, the subject is

    especially hard for some students. Brian Goetz left a career

    in engineering to teach mathematics and now works with

    developmental students at North Central. He will explain the

    tools he uses to help students understand math concepts

    and achieve their dreams.

    On Friday, May 17, the Luncheon Lecture will feature the

    memories of an Air Force flight nurse, rescheduled from the

    cancelled luncheon on April 12. Linda B. Henry, Lt. Col.

    (Ret.), a flight nurse with the Oklahoma Air National Guard,

    served three tours of duty in the Middle East starting with

    Desert Shield/Storm in 1991 and ending her 20-year military

    career with Operation Iraqi Freedom. She will highlight her

    career in the military and discuss her experiences while car-

    ing for patients being transported on a C-130 aircraft.

    During her last deployment she was the Chief Nurse for fly-ing operations in Iraq and the Horn of Africa.

    Cost for the event is $9 and includes lunch. Reservations

    are preferred. Call 231-348-6600 to reserve your place at the

    table. Lunch begins at 11:30 a.m.

    recycling program including paper, plastic, and cardboard.

    First graders show off their bird feeders and recycling

    boxes.

    25 David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peaceofferings. Thus the Lord was moved by prayer for the land, and the plague washeld back from Israel.

    Free ChurchWhenever a tragedy occurs, we immediately hear people respond by saying,

    Our prayers are with those affected. But does prayer really work or is it sim-

    ply a religious motion that we go through to make us and others feel better?

    The Bible gives a definite answer to this question in James 5:16 when it says,

    The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much!

    So does prayer work? According to the Bible prayer can accomplish much.But please understand that this is not simply some kind of a Divine blank

    check. This verse doesnt mean that prayer is like finding a genie in a bottle

    who will grant you any three wishes you have. There are some qualifiers in the

    verse. First, it must be an effective prayer. Effective prayers are meaningful

    prayers that are according to the will of God. So often when we pray we just say

    words without really thinking about what they mean. Unfortunately, many of

    our prayers come across like:

    Now I lay me down to sleep

    I pray the Lord my soul to keep

    And if he hollers, Let me go

    Eenie, meenie, miney, mo

    The verse also says that i t is the prayer of a righteous man that accom-

    plishes much. What makes a person righteous? You cannot attain righteous-

    ness on your own because you are a sinner as am I. A righteous person is one

    who has accepted the sacrifice of Christ, putting their faith totally in the death,

    burial and resurrection of Jesus. A person who is right with God is a righteous

    person whose effective prayers can truly accomplish much.

    Fords F-150 SVT Raptor,the ultimate high-perform-ance off-road pickup truck,has a new Special Editionpackage customers canorder that adds moreunique touches to the hot-selling pickup. Fordrecently revealed the 2014F-150 SVT Raptor SpecialEdition, which adds uniquenew touches to Raptorsexisting Luxury Package,including a Ruby RedMetallic exterior colorand box-side graphics.Interior upgrades includeBrick Red seat bolsters

    with black inserts andcloth honeycomb high-lights, console top finishpanel, and center stack and door panelappliqu accents. Raptor Special Editionis also available in Tuxedo Black Metallic.

    Raptor owners are looking for a high-performing, uncompromising off-roadpickup truck with the features and luxu-ries found in todays premium trucks,said Doug Scott, Ford truck group mar-keting manager. Since its launch in2009, weve continually moved Raptorforward in capability and design, and the2014 Special Edition is the best Raptor

    yet.Raptor has found an enviable niche in

    full-size pickups. SVT Raptor sales are up14 percent in 2013, with five out of thepast six months seeing record sales. Morethan 13,000 Raptors were sold in 2012.

    Since launching as a 2010 model, theFord F-150 SVT Raptor has set thebenchmark for low- and high-speed off-road performance through aggressive all-terrain tires, industry-exclusive internaltriple-bypass FOX Racing Shoxdampers, skid plates and standard HillDescent Control. A Raptor develop-ment imperative has been continuousimprovement, so Ford expanded Raptorsfootprint for 2011 with a four-doorSuperCrew model joining the two-door

    SuperCab original.For 2012 Ford began offering a grille-

    mounted camera to improve driver visi-bility when climbing over rocks or otherobstacles. The 2012 addition of aTorsen limited-slip diff erential toRaptors 4WD system enables the truckto balance traction between both front

    wheels.For 2013 industry-exclusive beadlock-

    capable wheels were added to helpincrease grip in low-traction conditions,along with high-intensity dischargeheadlamps for improved visibility.SYNC with MyFord Touch was alsomade available for added connectivity.

    SVT Raptor is available exclusively with

    a 6.2-liter V8 engine producing best-in-class 411 horsepower and 434 lb.-ft. oftorque, mated to an electronic six-speedautomatic transmission with tow/haulmode and SelectShift Automatic func-tionality. The 4WD system features elec-tronic shift-on-the-fly capability for thetransfer case. The front axle features aTorsen differential with 4.10 to 1 gear-ing. The rear axle is also 4.10 to 1, with anelectronic-locking differential.

    By Jim Akans

    This is a wonderful, well-maintained and nicely appoint-

    ed home located in a peaceful, wooded setting on the

    shores of an all-sports lake.

    This is a rare lakefront offering, f eaturing 3.64 acres of

    wooded property embracing the nicely landscaped grounds

    surrounding the home, nearly 220 feet of lake frontage, plus

    the added convenience of a paved road fronting the home.

    The result is a tranquil, northern setting that offers all the

    extraordinary benefits of a lakeside lifestyle, including

    swimming, boating and fishing (pike, perch, bass and even

    rainbow trout), yet when its time to head for town, the

    route is paved and travel-friendly.

    The home has approximately 2,450 square feet of nicely

    finished and maintained living space; 2,000 square feet on the main

    two levels and an additional 450 square feet of finished space on the

    lower level. That includes four bedrooms, two baths, a huge living

    room with a magnificent wood burning fireplace with stone surround,

    a large family room area in the f inished basement, and much more.

    The kitchen is spacious and highlight by an abundance of beautiful-

    ly finished wood cabinetry and a full compliment of appliances. The

    adjoining formal dining area offers access to the outdoor patio. The

    design is open and air y, and there are picturesque outdoor views from

    every window.

    There are lots of outdoor amenities as well. There is plenty a spacefor vehicles and storage for those lake toys in the detached 30 x 40

    garage, plus a separate storage building with a workshop space. There

    is also a paved spot custom designed to park an RV. A 12 x 12

    screened in gazebo is the perfect place to enjoy the outdoor setting

    without being bothered by insects, and there is even a horseshoe pit

    on the grounds for honing those ringer skills.

    The home has also been well insulated, and has a forced air heating

    system that is fed by natural gasanother rarity for a lake retreat.

    This exceptional northern get-away has been recently reduced to

    $310,000. Call Koske Realty today for a private showing. (989) 732-

    ChecklistTips for SellersCompliments of Ed Wohlfiel

    It doesn't matter whether you are sell-

    ing your home as a short sale or as a tra-

    ditional 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 can't 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 compa-

    nies. Not every utility is always paid

    monthly, some are quarterly. If you sub-

    scribe 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 mailbox, 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 appli-

    ances, 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 looking for anything left

    behind, run one more check. You may

    find nothing more than a razor in the

    shower, but at least you'll be able to

    shave in the morning. It will give you

    peace of mind. I once forgot a black felt

    hat I loved, which was adorned with

    long peacock feathers, on the top shelf

    of a closet and never got over that loss.

    Closing Checklist Tip #10: Close

    Drapes / Blinds, Turn off Lights and

    Lock the Door

    You would think this would be a

    given, but you'd be amazed at how

    many people forget to close up the

    house. If nobody can see inside, the

    odds of someone breaking in declines. If

    the home will be vacant for a long time,

    consider leaving behind an inexpensive

    lamp on a timer.
