    By Mike Dunn

    GAYLORD The annual

    rite of August repeated itself

    this week as high school foot-

    ball teams across the state

    opened their preseason prac-

    tices in preparation for the

    coming campaign. Thatincludes the 11 teams in the

    coverage area of the Weekly

    Choice.

    The season begins for all

    the teams on either

    Thursday, August 24, or

    Friday, August 25.

    There are five teams vying

    to repeat as playoff qualifiers

    in 2012. Three of those teams

    Mancelona, Grayling and

    Petoskey won their first-

    round games last fall and

    advanced to the district finals

    in their respective divisions.

    Mancelona, under the

    direction of longtime head

    coach Dan Boo Derrer, hadthe best overall record

    among area teams, going 10-

    1 and advancing to the

    Division 7 district finals for

    the second year in a row.

    Perennial playoff teams

    Petoskey and Grayling both

    finished 9-2 and both won

    first-round playoff games at

    home. The Northmen of 2011

    Coach of the Year Kerry

    VanOrman handily defeated

    Bay City John Glenn in the

    opener before losing to No. 1

    ranked Mount Pleasant 35-28

    in a thriller in the Div. 3 dis-

    trict championship game.

    Grayling, under the tutelage

    of innovative head coach Tim

    Sanchez, whipped Benzie

    Central 42-28 in the opener

    before losing on the road to

    perennial playoff power

    Menominee in the Div. 5 dis-

    trict championship.

    Johannesburg-Lewiston

    (8-2) and Mio (7-3) both

    made the playoffs and suf-

    fered first-round losses. The

    ground-grinding Cardinals of

    head coach John Bush lost to

    Beal City in the pre-district

    round and Mio, guided by the

    capable hand of Jim

    Gendernalak, lost on the

    road to Frankfort.

    Cheboygan, entering its thirdyear as an indepen dent

    under longtime Hall of Fame

    coach Jack Coon and

    Onaway were both 5-4 last

    year and on the cusp of the

    playoffs.

    Hard-hitting Inland Lakes,

    entering its fourth season

    under the direction of head

    coach Stan Schramm, seeks a

    return to the playoffs after

    finishing 4-5 a year ago.

    Gaylord, playing in the

    always-rugged Big North

    Conference, is looking to

    build on the positives that

    came out of last seasons 2-7

    campaign under first-year

    head coach Doug Berkshire.

    The Blue Devils have some

    solid talent returning as well

    as some strong underclass-

    men coming up through theranks.

    At Gaylord St. Mary, sec-

    ond-year coach Denny

    YoungDyke lost some skill

    players from last years 1-8

    squad but has several prom-

    ising young players return-

    ing.

    At Pellston, first-ye ar

    coach Ben Schley, a former

    standout player at

    Cheboygan, will be trying to

    take the Hornets from being

    a hard-hitting, hard-playing

    competitive opponent to one

    that can turn that competi-

    tiveness into more wins.

    One big change in thecoming season is the makeup

    of the Ski Valley Conference.

    There are 12 teams in the

    conference now with two

    divisions. The South Division

    features Mancelona,

    Johannesburg-Lewiston,

    Onaway, Gaylord St. Mary,

    Central Lake and Forest Area.

    The North Division includes

    conference regulars Inland

    Lakes and Pellston along

    with newcomers Pickford, St.

    Ignace, Rogers City and

    Rudyard.

    Week one shows Gaylord

    traveling to Cheboygan for

    their annual opener onThursday, August 23. Also on

    that Thursday, high-powered

    Grayling travels to

    Roscommon for a renewal of

    their non-league opener.

    On Friday, August 24,

    Petoskey travels north to

    Sault Ste. Marie for a non-

    league clash; Inland Lakes

    travels to Onaway for an

    inter-division opener and

    Pellston travels south to

    Forest Area for another inter-

    division game;

    Johannesburg-L ewiston

    plays host to perennial non-

    league rival Atlanta;

    Mancelona is on the roadagainst traditional week-one

    non-league foe Elk Rapids;

    St. Mary plays host to talent-

    ed non-league foe Hillman;

    Mio plays at the field of tradi-

    tional week-one opponent

    Whittemore -Prescott in an

    early clash of 2011 playoff

    teams.

    In the August 16 issue of

    the Weekly Choice, we will

    feature the 2012 schedule of

    each team including the

    home-and-away games.

    MARQUETTE COUNTY --A recent trail camera photo

    of a cougar in northern

    Marquette County has been

    verified by the Department

    of Natural Resources' cougar

    team.

    The photo was taken at 2

    a.m. on Wednesday, July 18

    on private property. The

    landowner, who has asked to

    remain anonymous, met

    with DNR Wildlife Division

    staff this week to confirm the

    location where the photo

    was taken.

    The photo is the 17th time

    the DNR has been able to

    verify the presence of

    cougars in the Upper

    Peninsula since 2008, com-

    ing only a month and a half

    after a previously confirmed

    photo from southern

    Marquette County.

    "The growing body of evi-

    dence continues to indicate

    the presence of an unknown

    number of adult cougars in

    the Upper Peninsula," said

    DNR wildlife biologist Adam

    Bump, one of four DNR biol-

    ogists specially trained to

    investigate cougar reports.

    "In the five years since we

    confirmed our first cougarreport we have yet to receive

    any evidence of breeding

    activity, as all images and

    other physical evidence have

    been from adult cats."

    To date, the DNR has con-

    firmed eight separate sets of

    tracks, eight photos and one

    trail camera video from nine

    Upper Peninsula counties:

    Delta, Marquette,

    Schoolcraft, Mackinac,

    Chippewa, Ontonagon,Houghton, Keweenaw and

    Baraga.

    "The increase in verified

    cougar sightings in recent

    years could be attributed to

    several factors, although

    the two most significant are

    probably the presence of

    more transient individual

    cougars moving east from

    established Western popu-

    lations, and the growing

    number of trail cameras

    being used in the woods,

    making it easier to capture

    clear images of elusive

    cougars," Bump said. "We

    appreciate how cooperative

    the public has been in send-

    ing their reports and photos

    to the DNR for review. This

    cooperation allows us to

    effectively monitor cougars

    in the state."

    Cougars, also known as

    mountain lions, were native

    to Michigan, but disap-

    peared from the state in the

    early 1900s. The last con-

    firmed wild cougar in

    Michigan prior to 2008 was

    an animal killed near

    Newberry in 1906.

    Established cougar popu-

    lations are found as close toMichigan as North and

    South Dakota, and transient

    cougars dispersing from

    these areas have been

    known to travel hundreds of

    miles in search of new terri-

    tory. DNA evidence collected

    from a cougar hit and killed

    by a car in Connecticut in

    2011 showed it had originat-

    ed in South Dakota.

    Although cougar sightings

    are regularly reported, verifi-

    cation is often difficult, due

    in part to a lack of physical

    evidence. Characteristic evi-

    dence of cougars include

    tracks -- which are about

    three inches long by three

    and a half inches wide and

    typically show no claw

    marks -- and suspicious kill

    sites, such as deer carcasses

    that are largely intact and

    buried with sticks and

    debris.

    Protecting evidence such

    as tracks, scat and cachedkills from the elements with

    a bucket or tarp greatly

    improves the chances that a

    reported sighting may be

    verified by DNR wildlife

    staff.

    Wildlife biologists on the

    DNR's cougar team investi-

    gate evidence that is report-

    ed or submitted, and may

    visit sites to verify the loca-

    tion and collect additional

    information. The team then

    evaluates the collected

    information and decides

    whether the presence of

    cougars can be confirmed.

    Reports of cougar tracks

    and other evidence should

    be made to a local DNR

    office or by submitting the

    sighting on the DNR's online

    reporting form at

    www.michigan.gov/cougars.

    If an emergency situation

    exists, call the department's

    24-hour Report All Poaching

    line at 800-292-7800.Cougars are classified as

    an endangered species in

    Michigan. It is unlawful to

    kill, harass or otherwise

    harm a cougar except in the

    immediate defense of

    human safety. To learn more

    Gaylord grad shoots 139 in two-day tourney at

    Fortress in Frankenmuth, earns berth in Big 1National Championship

    By Mike Dunn

    FRANKENMUTH

    Recent Gaylord graduate Alex

    Dombrowski continues to

    shine on the links.

    Dombrowski, who capped a

    brilliant prep career for the

    Blue Devils in June, partici-

    pated in the prestigious

    Trusted Choice Big 1 state

    qualifying tournament at The

    Fortress in Frankenmuth on

    July 8-9 and won the wholething.

    Dombrowski shot 2-under

    par 70 on day one and 3-

    under par 69 on day two to

    score 139 and outdistance

    the rest of the field. His clos-

    est competitor, Tyler Polulak

    of DeWitt, shot 74 and 69 for

    a two-day total of 143.

    Dombrowski and Polulak

    were both qualifiers for the

    national Big 1 championship

    in Austin, Texas along with

    third-place finisher Brody

    Schiller of Freeland (78-71

    149) and ladies champion

    Kaitlyn Watkins of

    Frankenmuth (68-75 143).

    Ironically, Dombrowski

    finished 1 stroke behindPolulak for co-medalist hon-

    ors in the Div. 2 state finals in

    June. Dombrowski shot 67

    and 73 for a 36-hole total of

    140 and took third overall in

    the state finals behind cham-

    pion Nick Carlson of

    Hamilton (71-68 139) and

    Polulak (68-71 139).

    Among many other hon-

    ors, Dombrowski was Div. 2

    district champion and Big

    North individual champion

    as a senior. His cumulative

    score in Big North competi-

    tion was 70.86.

    Alex had a great four years

    at Gaylord and will be missed

    greatly, Gaylord coach Tom

    Johnson said after Alexs prepcareer ended. As a coach you

    couldnt ask for a more enjoy-

    able athlete to work with

    than Alex. The greatest thing

    about him is that he was a

    better person than he was a

    golfer, and we all know how

    special he was as a golfer.

    Dombrowski opted not to

    compete in the Big 1 national

    championship in Texas,

    deciding instead to take part

    in another prestigious

    American Junior Golf

    Association tournament this

    week, the Randy Wise Open

    in Grand Blanc.

    ONAWAY Congratulations

    are in order for sweet-swing-

    ing softball slugger Sammie

    Freel of Onaway. Freel, who

    graduated in June after a stel-

    lar four-year prep career for

    the Cardinals and coach Jodie

    Brewbaker, recently signed a

    letter of intent to play for

    Kellogg Community College in

    Battle Creek.

    Freel, a four-year starter in

    the outfield, was a key cog in

    Onaways fortunes with her

    active bat, her stellar base

    running, and her abilities with

    the glove. Among many other

    honors, Freel was second-

    team All-State this past season

    and honorable mention All-

    State after her junior year. She

    was also All-Conference, All-

    District and All-Region in her

    junior and senior years and

    was the team captain the past

    two years. She was a two-time

    member of the Weekly Choice

    All-Area softball squad and

    was part of the Dream Teamthis year.

    As a sophomore Freel was

    part of the 2010 Onaway

    squad that advanced all the

    way to the Div. 4 state finals.

    She helped Onaway earn the

    Ski Valley title all four years

    she played along with two

    regional championships and

    three district championships.

    Freel, the daughter of Pat

    and Becky Freel, will be play-

    ing for longtime coach Russ

    Bortell at Kellogg. She plans to

    transfer to Lake Superior State

    after her two years at Kellogg

    and pursue a career in lawenforcement.

    LANSING -- If there were a

    way to plant a tree in

    Michigan's state forests from

    the comfort of home and

    without ever having to lift a

    shovel or spend a single dol-

    lar, chances are most resi-

    dents would do it. Now,

    thanks to a Michigan

    Department of Natural

    Resources' (DNR) partner-

    ship with Treecycler, they

    can.

    The DNR is working withT r e e c y c l e r

    (www.treecycler.com), a new

    platform where consumers

    team up with their favorite

    consumer brands to plant

    trees as part of reforestation

    projects around the world.

    Treecycler has also built a

    strong social media presence

    on Facebook through which

    people can find and redeem

    tree-planting codes.

    In Michigan, Treecycler

    dollars will go toward

    restoration, expansion and

    maintenance of red and jack

    pine communities and to

    maintain habitat for the

    endangered Kirtland's war-

    bler.

    "We are actively working to

    change the notion of what it

    means to 'donate to a

    cause,'" said Aaron Kinsman,

    with Treecycler. "Donations

    are usually only considered

    when we have extra money,

    and in today's tough times

    not too many folks have a lot

    of extra money.

    "We wanted to connect the

    opportunity to 'do good' with

    actual commerce, so that the

    opportunity would be free to

    the consumer," he explained."We determined the best

    model would be to partner

    with the most reputable folks

    around the world who plant

    trees, and then attract both

    users and brands to the pro-

    gram."

    Right now, there are two

    ways to find valid tree-plant-

    ing codes:

    Visit the Treecycler "code"

    page at http://tiny.cc/iqn0cw

    and "like" the Treecycler

    page; or

    Visit www.facebook.com/

    treecycler and play Forest

    Find, an easy game in which

    the viewer has to spot three

    differences between two sim-

    ilar photos.

    Once a code is uncovered,

    the finder takes it to the

    Treecycler website to learn

    about partner projects and

    choose where the tree will be

    planted. From that point, it's

    easy to share the news on

    Facebook and encourage

    other friends to plant trees,

    too.

    "Treecycler's forestry part-

    ners benefit through added

    exposure of their tree plant-

    ing projects and from the

    funds they receive from

    Treecycler," said Bill O'Neill,

    chief of the DNR's Forest

    Resources Division. "Every

    time a user redeems a code

    and plants a tree for

    Michigan's reforestation

    projects on the Treecyclerwebsite, Treecycler allocates

    funds for that seedling to

    Michigan's account. We get a

    check once a quarter and

    then send receipts for the

    cost of planting the seedlings

    back to them."

    So far, Kinsman said

    response to the program

    (which launched in April

    2012) has been positive, swift

    and, at times, emotional.

    "Since opening the site, we

    have been thrilled by the

    deeply personal response

    we've had from all of our

    Treecyclers," he said. "Many

    folks go through the process

    quickly and simply say

    'thanks,' but others choose to

    dedicate their trees to loved

    ones or victims of natural

    disasters."

    "The appeal of trees is uni-

    versal and the environmental

    impact is profound," he

    added.

    Treecycler is a fun and sim-

    ple way to partner with your

    favorite brands to plant trees

    in reforestation projects

    around the globe. Look for

    Treecycler codes on mail,

    products and select locations

    online. These codes can then

    be redeemed to plant trees

    around the world. Learn

    more at www.treecycler.com.

    WATERS, MI. 49797

    Michigan is blessed with

    outstanding water resources

    and where you have water,you have boats.

    Unfortunately, where you

    have boats, you also have

    boating accidents. But just a

    few common-sense precau-

    tions could make boating

    much safer in Michigan.

    Whats the single simplest

    thing you can do to make

    boating safer? Wear your per-

    sonal floatation devise (PFD).

    Thats been the mantra of

    the National Safe Boating

    Council for years, one with

    which the Departme nt of

    Natural Resources fully

    agrees.Most boaters are aware

    that the law requires they

    have an appropriate personal

    floatation device for every-

    one on board. But unless you

    are less than six years old, the

    law does not require that you

    wear them. And too many

    people opt out.

    People have them, but

    theyre stuffed under a seat

    somewhere and they dont

    think about them until

    theyre in the water, said Lt.

    Andrew Turner, boating safe-

    ty administrator with the

    DNRs Law Enforcement

    Division. When things go

    terribly wrong theres no time

    to find them.

    Most people think about

    those big, bulky orange

    things when they think about

    personal floatation devices,but the technology has

    changed dramatically,

    Turner continued. The

    newer designs, thinner vests

    and inflatable PFDs, are a lot

    less bulky, more comfortable

    and they dont get in your

    way.

    Boating safety has

    improved in recent years

    with a big drop in fatalities

    25 in 2010, down from 36 in

    2010. Still, of the fatalities

    recorded last year, 20 of them

    were from drowning a nd 11

    of those occurred simply

    because someone fell out ofthe boat. Wearing PFDs could

    cut those fatalities dramati-

    cally.

    A common occurrence is

    that people, for a variety of

    reasons, get out of their

    unanchored boat and then it

    is blown away by the wind or

    carried away by currents and

    they cant get back to it,

    Turner said. Many people

    drown this way each year and

    its a tragedy that is very pre-

    ventable.

    One recent development

    that could help is the inflat-

    able belt-pack PFD. They are

    easy to wear around the waist

    and do not interfere with

    movement.

    Its out of the way and

    comfortable, Turner said.

    Its what I often use when

    Im out boating.Our conservation officers

    are issued inflatable vests

    and wear them while work-

    ing on the water. It has

    become the norm around the

    country for officers working

    on the water, Turner added.

    Inflatables are typically

    suspender-style PFDs that

    come with automatic or

    manual inflation devices.

    Turner recommends self-

    inflating models.

    If you get knocked out

    and fall overboard, youre not

    going to be able to deploy it

    manually, he said.Turner cautions that inflat-

    ables are not approved for all

    on-water uses such as opera-

    tion of personal watercraft,

    waterskiing, tubing, etc. For

    these activities, inherently

    buoyant vests are required.

    Turner says hes seeing a

    trend of increased usage of

    PFDs by boaters, something

    he attributes to national and

    local education campaigns

    as well as the new PFD

    designs.

    People are impressed by

    the products out there, but

    weve still got a lot of work to

    do, he said.

    That work is ongoing and a

    new law that goes into effect

    in November will help.

    Anyone born after July 1,

    1996, will be required to have

    a boater safety certificate tooperate a power boat in

    Michigan. Turner says that

    only makes sense.

    We wouldnt put some-

    body in car without training,

    why would be let them run a

    boat? he asked. Getting

    people trained will definitely

    help to make Michigans

    waters safer.

    Boaters can earn safety

    certificates through tradi-

    tional classroom work or on

    the Internet. The DNR cur-

    rently partners with two

    online companies to provide

    the necessary instruction. In2011, a total of 22,753

    Michigan citizens were certi-

    fied and, over the long haul,

    every boater will be required

    to be certified.

    But the new regulation

    wont impact anyone who is

    more than 16 years old right

    now a huge percentage of

    the boating public. A study of

    Michigan boating accidents

    in 2011 shows that boaters in

    their 40s are involved in more

    accidents than any other age

    group.

    There is a lot of focus on

    training kids, but statistics

    show that the 30- and 40-

    year-olds are involved in

    more boating accidents,

    Turner said. There are many

    basic rules for operating a

    vessel on the water, and

    unfortunately many boaters

    have not been trained and

    simply do not know them.

    For instance, one of the

    rules of the road is that

    boaters maintain no-wake

    speed within 100 feet of a

    boat at anchor, a swimmer,raft or dock. Unfortunately,

    seeing a boater roar past one

    of those situations isnt a rare

    sight to observe.

    Thats one of our chief

    complaints every day were

    on the water, Turner said.

    Its a very common com-

    plaint with personal water-

    craft which are fast and very

    maneuverable. Getting folks

    to know and obey some of

    the very basic laws is critical

    for increased safety.

    Alcohol is another issue;

    about a quarter of all boating

    accidents that occur involve

    alcohol these days.

    Traditionally, its been

    much higher, but its trending

    downward, Turner said. I

    think public awareness is a

    lot higher and there has been

    enhanced enforcement, too.

    In addition to DNR conser-

    vation officers patrolling

    state waters, 81 of Michigan

    83 counties now have some

    form of boating safety pro-

    gram run by the sheriffsdepartment in partnership

    with the DNR.

    Boating is, statistically, not

    especially dangerous. In

    2011, there were a total of 123

    boating accidents reported --

    not that many compared to

    the 811,670 registered motor-

    boats in Michigan.

    We do very well consider-

    ing the number of boats and

    our accident rate, Turner

    said. But we can do better.

    And the first step all

    boaters can take to make that

    happen? Without question,

    Turner said, wearing a PFD.

    The hot and dry condi-

    tions that have persisted

    over much of the state this

    summer are leaving many

    trees severely drought

    stressed and in need of a

    good watering. The Forest

    Resources Division of the

    Michigan Department of

    Natural Resources (DNR)

    reminds residents that it isimportant to provide sup-

    plemental watering to help

    get these trees through the

    remainder of the summer

    and fall.

    Drought stress might not

    kill trees outright, but it

    weakens them and makes

    them more susceptible to

    other problems such as win-

    ter injury or secondary dis-

    ease and insect problems

    later, said DNR Urban and

    Community Forestry

    Manager Kevin Sayers. Its

    important to recognize

    some common symptoms

    of drought stress on trees

    and how to provide needed

    care. Being proactive with

    watering will help ensure

    these trees survive until

    adequate rainfall returns.

    Sayers provided the fol-

    lowing examples of

    drought-stress symptoms,

    and some dos and donts for

    watering trees.

    Symptoms of drought

    stress:

    In deciduous trees, leaves

    may curl or droop, turn

    brown at the margins

    (scorching), fall premature-

    ly and exhibit early-autumn

    coloration.

    In evergreen trees, nee-

    dles may turn to yellow, red

    and eventually brown.

    In severe or prolonged

    droughts, leaves may drop

    prematurely or becomebrown and remain attached.

    Twigs or entire branches

    may experience dieback.

    When watering trees, do:

    Prioritize the plants that

    need watering first and

    most often. Newly planted

    trees should be a priority, as

    should high-value trees.

    Provide long, slow soak-

    ings to saturate the soil.

    Water newly planted trees

    weekly and establis hed

    trees every two to three

    weeks.

    Water under the trees

    dripline (from the trunk, to

    edge of the tree canopy).

    Provide 1 inch of irriga-

    tion per week (depending

    on recent rainfall) using the

    following methods:

    Sprinkler: Place an empty

    container or rain gauge

    nearby to measure about 1

    inch of irrigation.

    Hand watering via hose:

    Let water run slowly until

    the ground is saturated (10

    to 12 inches deep) and

    moist near the base of small

    trees or at various points

    under the dripline of large

    trees.

    Five-gallon bucket: Most

    newly planted trees need 5

    to 10 gallons of water per

    inch of trunk diameter (at

    knee height) each week.

    Soaker or trickle hoses:

    Saturate the soil under the

    dripline to at least 10 to 12

    inches deep

    Use mulch to help retain

    soil moisture and save

    water. Apply 3 to 4 inches of

    organic mulch under the

    tree canopy, but not touch-

    ing the trunk.

    Don't:

    Water during the middle

    of the day. Most of the water

    applied at the hottest and

    most windy time of day is

    immediately lost to evapo-

    ration.

    Use mist sprinklers. As

    much as 70 percent of watermay be lost to evaporation

    into the air.

    Water frequently and

    lightly. This may help the

    lawn stay green but is inef-

    fective for most trees.

    Use fertilizer. Fertilizer

    salts can cause root injury

    when soil moisture is limit-

    ed.

    LANSING -- Officials with

    the Michigan Department of

    Natural Resources (DNR)

    today announced the avail-

    ability of applications for the

    2012 Community Forestry

    Grant program.

    The applications to

    request support for commu-

    nity forest activities are

    available from the DNRs

    Urban and Community

    Forestry (UCF) program, and

    are funded through the

    USDA Forest Services State

    and Private Forestry pro-

    gram. Local units of govern-

    ment, nonprofit organiza-

    tions and schools are eligible

    to apply.

    Kevin Sayers, DNR UCF

    program coordinator,

    encourages municipalities

    and eligible organizations to

    apply for the grants, which

    can be used for a variety of

    projects including:

    Street and park tree man-

    agement and planning activ-

    ities;

    Urban forestry training

    and education events;

    Tree plantings; and

    Arbor Day celebrations.

    Trees provide many ben-

    efits to our communities,

    including shade, oxygen and

    improved property values,

    Sayers said. This summers

    storms, heat and dry condi-

    tions have been particularly

    hard on the trees in our

    communities. These grants

    will help to improve man-

    agement of the urban forestand replace many trees lost

    due to insects, disease and

    drought.

    Grant applications must

    Northwest Lower

    Peninsula Fishing Report

    Harbor Springs: Is where

    salmon fishing was a little

    better especially for those

    traveling out toward Seven

    Mile Point and fishing 60 feet

    down. Winward and Five

    Mile Creek were also pro-

    ducing anywhere from 40 to

    120 feet down in 140 to 160

    feet of water. The thermo-

    cline in Little Traverse Bay

    was moving up, with a tem-

    perature of 55 degrees at 65

    feet.

    Petoskey: Anglers are

    doing very well for lake trout

    around Bay Harbor and

    straight out from the pier.

    Fish were caught anywhere

    from 40 feet to 150 feet

    down. A steelhead was

    caught between the hospital

    and the pier in 60 feet ofwater. Pier anglers caught

    sub-legal smallmouth bass

    and a few nice rock bass.

    Bear River: Rumor has it a

    salmon was caught up near

    the dam however that rumor

    was not confirmed. A few

    anglers are still there and

    using spawn for bait.

    Charlevoix: Is producing

    salmon 60 to 90 feet down in

    waters 100 to 300 feet or

    deeper. Most were fishing

    North Point or near the

    Cement Plant. The thermo-

    cline was at 90 but has since

    moved up to 70 feet. Blue

    was a good color. Try ladder-

    backs, flies and meat rigs or

    glow spoons after dark.

    Smallmouth bass were

    caught off the pier but many

    were too small. Walleye were

    hitting on crawlers

    Northeast Lower

    Peninsula Fishing Report

    Cheboygan: Anglers are

    still catching trout and

    salmon off the points and

    the reefs. Orange, gold and

    green were good colors.

    Hammond Bay is producing

    some nice rainbow trout for

    those using spoons in light

    orange, blue and red. Fish up

    high as the trout are looking

    for bugs near the surface.

    Cheboygan River: Had a

    few anglers targeting large

    and smallmouth bass.

    Rogers City: Limit catches

    of trout and salmon are

    coming in. The water was in

    the upper 40's about 30 feet

    down which explains why

    most anglers have done well

    25 to 35 feet down in 50 to

    120 feet of water. Try three,

    five and seven color lead

    lines and downriggers fished

    in the top 45 feet of water.Hot colors were green, blue,

    orange, yellow, chartreuse,

    purple, glow, black and

    white or blue and silver. Try

    Adams Point, Seagull Point,

    Forty Mile Point or

    Hammond Bay Biological

    Station.

    Presque Isle: Continues to

    produce a mixed bag of chi-

    nook, coho, steelhead, lake

    trout and the occasional

    walleye. Pink salmon were

    also caught. Fish the top half

    of the water column in 50 to

    120 feet of water with the

    same colors as Rogers City.

    Glows work early and late

    however with the full moon

    the better fishing may very

    well be in the morning or

    mid-day. Also, pay close

    attention to wind direction.

    The east/southeast and

    south winds are best for cold

    water while the northwest

    and west winds tend to push

    the cold water out.

    Rockport: Is producing

    walleye for those trolling

    crawler harnesses or crank

    baits. Stoneport, Middle

    Island, and False Presque

    Isle were the hot spots.

    Those trolling spoons

    caught chinook and pink

    salmon, lake trout and steel-

    head near Middle Island,

    Stoneport and the Nordmere

    Wreck. Orange and yellow

    were good colors.

    Alpena: Those trolling

    spoons, crank baits and

    crawler harnesses are catch-

    ing walleye off North Point

    and Thunder Bay Island.

    Smallmouth bass were

    caught by those casting

    crank baits or trolling with

    body baits.

    Thunder Bay River:

    Continues to produce small-mouth bass and rock bass

    between the dam and the

    mouth. Body baits and

    worms worked best.

    Channel cats were caught by

    those trolling crawler har-

    nesses or those shore fishing

    with worms.

    Harrisville: Those able to

    get out had limited success.

    Lake trout were targeted the

    most and these fish are in

    deeper water so anglers were

    starting out in 80 feet and

    working their way out to 150

    feet. Spoons, spin glows,

    squid and flies seem to work

    best. The fish were suspend-

    ed so anglers were using lead

    core and planer boards.

    Oscoda: Those able to get

    out have caught a mix of

    salmon, steelhead and lake

    trout. Most are starting in 70

    to 80 feet and working their

    way out to deeper water.

    Copper and lead core off

    planer boards with spoons,

    spin glows or cut bait

    worked best. Try darker col-

    ors on your artificial baits.

    Au Sable River: Catch rates

    were slow and the fish

    caught were running on the

    small side. Smallmouth bass

    action did seem to pick up

    and catfish are still moving

    in and out of the river at

    night.

    Higgins Lake: Has lots of

    rock bass. Smallmouth bass

    have been caught out near

    Treasure Island. Those tar-

    geting lake trout are trolling

    or jigging in waters up to 100

    feet deep. A few perch were

    also caught over near the

    island but the fish are scat-

    tered. Anglers found fish in

    waters from 18 to 60 or 70

    feet deep.

    Houghton Lake: Walleye

    are being caught along the

    weed beds in 14 feet of

    water. Try leeches under a

    bobber. Bluegills were also

    found in 14 feet of water or

    deeper. Bass were caught in

    the early morning or later in

    the evening.

    Tawas: Walleye fishing

    inside the bay was actually

    pretty good when anglers

    could get out. Fish were

    caught in 15 to 20 feet of

    water near the weed beds

    and in 50 to 60 feet of water

    down off Alabaster. Some

    perch were caught in 10 to

    15 feet of water off Jerry's

    Marina and off the pier very

    early in the morning. Expect

    to do a lot of sorting and

    throw the small ones back.

    Daily WordTHURSDAY: Acts 2:41-43 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 41 So then, those who had

    received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

    42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles teaching and to fellowship, to

    the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many

    wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.

    FRIDAY: 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 14 Do not be bound together

    with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellow-

    ship has light with darkness? 15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a

    believer in common with an unbeliever? 16 Or what agreement has the temple of God with

    idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, I will dwell in them and

    walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

    SATURDAY: Galatians 2:9-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 9 and recognizing the grace

    that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars,

    gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles

    and they to the circumcised. 10 They only asked us to remember the poor the very thing I

    also was eager to do.

    SUNDAY: Psalm 122:1 New American Standard Bible (NASB) I was glad when they said to me,

    Let us go to the house of the Lord.

    MONDAY: Psalm 84:10-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 10 For a day in Your courts is bet-

    ter than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God

    Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord

    gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

    TUESDAY: Philemon 1:5-7 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 5 because I hear of your love and

    of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints; 6 and I pray

    that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good

    thing which is in you for Christs sake. 7 For I have come to have much joy and comfort in

    your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

    WEDNESDAY: 1 John 1:5-7 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 5 This is the message we have

    heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at

    all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do

    not practice the truth; 7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have

    fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

    Kids need something to do. The

    bowling alley is great but who

    wants to go bowling every night.

    Kids need more to do and a place

    that's safe and parents know

    where they are at.Carissa Wendel, Cheboygan

    There are many reasons people dont go to church. Like Im too busy or

    Theyre only after my money! Maybe you have other reasons for not attend-

    ing church, but if youll read on Id like to share some thoughts on why I think

    its important for you to reconsider.

    We all have a spirit within us. And just like our physical body that has to be

    fed or we become sick, our spirit also has to be fed. That is how God made us.

    We can feed our spirit with junk food like TV or cable. Or, we can use drugs or

    alcohol to simulate feeding the spirit. But to truly feed your inner-man, you need

    to find the right church that fits you.

    Here are two ideas to help you find the right fit! First, stop trying to find

    the perfect church and begin looking for the right church! Look for a

    church that has your personality and your tastes. Dont just settle, but look

    at several churches in your quest. Second, look for a place of worship where you

    can join legitimate causes that you can support without reservation. In closing,

    there are many good churches in our community that have much to offer. With

    a little investment on your part, you can be feeding your spirit man in no time.

    Come ongive it a try this weekend and see what you have been missing!
