REMUS The Gaylord
boys and girls track teams
competed in the annual
Chippewa Hills Invitational
on Saturday. Both earned
fifth place.
Senior Alanna Johnston
continued to shine for the
Blue Devil gals of coach Jeff
Kalember. Alanna, who is
getting her senior season off
to a flaming start, scored a
whopping 13 points in the
large invitational, helping the
Gaylord girls to a solid fifth-
place finish with 49 points.
Alanna soared to third in
the high jump with a height
of 4-foot-8, flew to fifth in the
200 dash (28.16) and
anchored both the 800- and
the 1600-meter relays, which
both claimed third place.
Mai Dao and Katelynn
Dreyer were also part of the
800 and 1600 relays along
with Lylan Dao. Mai and
Katelynn each scored ninepoints to help the Gaylord
cause.
Mai has improved
markedly over her sopho-
more campaign and came
through with a solid fourth in
the open 400 and a solid leg
in two relays, reported
coach Kalember.
Kalember also noted the
contributions of legendary
former Gaylord coach Dave
Wenzel, who has come out of
retirement to help work with
the Gaylord sprinters this
season.
Coach Wenzel has come
out of retirement to work
with our lady sprinters and
its already paying divi-
dends, Kalember said.
Katelynn contines a fine
four-year career with solid
relay legs and a third in the
open 800. We've moved her
up from the 400 to the 800
this year in the hope that she
can qualify individually in
this senior season.
Strong-armed thrower
Allison Fischer scored 8
points. Allison earned a solid
third in the discus, reaching
103 feet, 3 inches in spite ofthe windy, cold conditions
and snow. She also placed in
the shot put.
Grace Sanders also scored
8 points, scoring in the 100
dash (14.21) and the long
jump (13-11). Much
improved from last season,
hurdler Cindy Fiser came
through with big points in
the hurdles, placing in both
highs and lows with season-
best times.
FOR THE Gaylord boys,
Trae Hill was tremendous,
motoring to second in the
200 dash (23.15), second in
the 400 meters (52.10) and
third in the 100 dash (11.76).
Nate Fischer also had a
fine day, flying to third in the
800 run (2:03.92) and eighth
in the 1600 run (4:48.22).
Fischer and Hill also
teamed with Jake Henley and
Collin Watters to take second
in the 1600 relay (3:37.38).
Watters a lso poured it on
as the anchor leg of the 800
relay, joining with Kyle
Fahler, Steven Fitzek and
Cam Taylor for fifth place
(1:39.93).
Henley also hammered outa fifth-place time of 54.61
seconds in the 400 dash.
Fitzek filed a fine fifth-place
time of 17.36 seconds in the
high hurdles.

1205 career points, 218
career rebounds, 192 careersassists, 143 careers steals and
North Star League and dis-
trict championships in 2013.
It's safe to say that Mio senior
Micah Thomey had high
school basketball mastered.
On Monday, Thomey official-
ly singed his letter of intent to
play college basketball at
Kirtland Community College
allowing him to set his sights
on the next level of play.
It's been a dream of mine
ever since I was a little kid,
Thomey, who also stars as a
catcher for the Thunderbolt
baseball team. I alwayswanted to play basketball, it
was my first love. Now that
(my dream) is here I'm very
excited to play.
Kirtland, a member of the
Michigan Community
College Athletic Association
went 8-18 last season and is
coached by former Mio
standout Ty McGregor, who
was a member of the
Thunderbolt's 1989 Class 'D'
state championship team.
Over the year's I've devel-
oped a great relationship
with the coach, Thomey said
of his decision to join theFirebird basketball program.
When I was younger, I used
to attend his basketball
camps. He's a great guy and a
great coach. He loves the
game and has a passion for
teaching it. He sees potential
within me and he wants to
bring it out. I'm just excited
to play for him.
With the success he had in
high school, Thomey is mak-
ing certain that similar suc-
cess greets him at Kirtland.
Coming in as a freshman
I'm going to work as hard as I
can to get a starting spot andplay consistent minutes, he
said. I'm going to work hard
starting in the summer and
all the way into the season.
I'm going to put a lot of time
into it so that I can play a lot
this year.
His high school coach,
Dennis Kann, who was also
on the 1989 state champi-
onship team, might know
better than anyone of
Thomey's chances of success
at the collegiate level.
I feel really good for him,
Kann said. It's a greatopportunity and it shows
that if someone puts in the
time and the effort over the
years he has it pays off. If he
continues to put the time in
and works hard he'll play at
the next level. I'm pretty con-
fident of that.
Though life as a Firebird
offers a new set of challenges
for Thomey, it's clear he's
ready to take them head on.
McGregor will get us in
shape, I know that, Thomey
said. He works his players
very hard but I'm looking for-
ward to that challenge. A lot
of hard work is going to get us
ready for the season. I think
it's going to be a great oppor-
tunity to become better at
basketball and become a bet-
ter person as well.

SAULT STE. MARIE
Although early winter snow
in Michigans Upper
Peninsula was mild com-
pared to the past few years,
precipitation late in the sea-
son resulted in above-aver-
age snow depths that are
continuing well into spring.
These conditions are chal-
lenging deer in the region,
and are expected to lead to
lower survival and fawn
recruitment rates than seen
during the last few years.
Winter conditio ns are a
significant factor for the U.P.s
deer herd. Mild winters, such
as those experienced from
2010-2012, provide favorable
conditions for over-winter
survival and allow pregnant
does to produce healthy
fawns. Harsher winters with
deep snows restrict move-
ment and challenge energy
reserves. Those conditions
affect survival rates, particu-
larly for deer living in harsher
conditions, and put addi-
tional stress on pregnant
does.
Due to the importance of
winter conditio ns for
Michigans deer population,
weekly snow depth measure-
ments are taken at various
U.P. stations throughout the
winter. This year, snow
depths through January were
below average, suggesting
that winter may be mild once
again. However, heavy pre-
cipitation in February and
March left deep snows across
the peninsula. Those condi-
tions have extended well into
April.
Biologists anticipate nega-
tive impacts to the deer herd
when winter conditions per-
sist longer than three
months. Because of the
heavy late-winter snowfall,
U.P. deer are showing visible
signs of winter fatigue,
including thin body condi-
tions and lethargic behavior.
Biologists have already
received reports of deer mor-
talities. Additional reports
are anticipated in the coming
weeks.
Population indices indi-
cate that the deer population
across the region experi-
enced a low in 2009 following
two consecutive harsh win-
ters. The population has
since been increasing.
Although it is too early to
determine the full impact of
this years winter, biologists
expect population growth
will at least slow this year
given the conditions.
Lady Vikesoff to slow start
GRAYLING The Grayling
girls varsity soccer team has
gotten off to a slow start this
spring, compiling a 1-3record overall, while also bat-
tling Mother Nature.
The teams lone win was a
5-0 shutout of visiting East
Jordan on Thursday, April 11.
We lost to Charlevoix, 4-0,
in a torrential downpour (on
April 9), and lost to Harbor
Springs last week (April 18),
5-1, said Grayling head
coach Craig Cobb.And, on Monday, April 22,
the Lady Vikes battled
Traverse City St. Francis to a
0-0 tie in regulation but still
took the loss.
We had a great game and
a hard loss that went into
double overtime, Cobb said.
We lost in penalty kicks.
St. Francis won the
shootout, with Graylings
Rachel Money being the
Viking to score on a penalty
kick in overtime.

LANSING Wildfire
Prevention Week in Michigan
extends from April 21-27, and
the Department of Natural
Resources is stressing the
importance of preventing
wildfires when consiste nt
spring-like weather finally
arrives.
Wildfire Prevention Week
is observed annually during
the third full week of April in
order to focus attention on
the increased wildfire risk
that typically occurs duringthis period.On
One out of three wildfires
in Michigan is caused by
someone burning debris who
didnt take the proper pre-
cautions, said Bill ONeill,
chief of the DNRs Forest
Resources Division. Even
though many parts of the
state are still snow-covered,
there are areas in the south-
ern Lower Peninsula where
people are getting outdoors
and starting to clean up their
yards. With late April and
early May being the most
prevalent time for large wild-
fires, were urging folks to get
their burn permit and be pre-
pared in case their fire
escapes. A little prevention
can go a long way when it
comes to wildfires.
ONeill, who also serves as
state forester, added that
careless debris burning is the
source of most wildfiresacross Michigan, which
makes it all the more impor-
tant to take the time to plan
any burning activity before
lighting a match.
Ada Takacs, DNR fire pre-
vention specialist, reminds
residents that brush and
debris burning in Michigan
requires a burn permit. In the
northern Lower Peninsula
and the Upper Peninsula,
residents can obtain a free
permit online at www.michi-
gan.gov/burnpermit. Those
without Internet access can
call 866-922-2876, toll-free,
to obtain a permit. In south-
ern Michigan, burn permits
and information on burning
can be obtained from local
fire departments and town-
ship offices.
Spring activities often
include outdoor cooking and
campfires as well as yard
cleanup. Without proper pre-caution these fires can
escape and cause a wildfire.
The following tips can help
prevent a fire from escaping:
Clear away flammable
material surrounding the fire
so it wont creep into dry veg-
etation.
Keep campfires small, and
do not leave before they are
fully extinguished.
Be sure and douse fires
with plenty of water, stir, and
add more water until every-
thing is wet.
Do not cover a campfire
with soil; it may simply smol-
der before coming back to
life.
Embers can re-ignite.
Make sure they are out com-
pletely.
Consider composting or
mulching yard debris rather
than burning it.
A little bit of pre-planning
goes a long way, Takacs said.
We can prevent a majority of
Michigan wildfires by follow-
ing these simple tips.
Out of the nearly 500 fires
the DNR responded to in
2012, two-thirds of them
were caused by peoples neg-
ligence.

marathon September 7, 2013.
The River Restoration Trail
Run, part of the Centers
fundraising campaign for a
Pigeon River conservation
project. The project involves
removal of the dam, draw
down of the Lansing Pond,
and the creation of a hemi-
marsh to support the pond
ecosystem developed over
the past century, home to a
variety of protected plant
and animal species including
Trumpeter Swans and Bald

variety of offerings through-
out the weekend. These
include gourmet vegetarian
cuisine, yoga classes
designed to support pre-run
warm-u p and post-ru n
recovery, environmental
talks, and live musical enter-
tainment. In addition, a Kids
Activity Center will be pro-
vided for parents bringing
children for the weekend,
featuring a safe and super-
vised environment for kids to
make crafts, watch videos,
take kids yoga classes, play
games, and interact with
other children.
While all types of running
shoes are allowed, there will
be an emphasis on barefoot
running or use of minimalist
shoes. Running coaches,
trainers, and doctors cite
growing evidence for the
benefits of this approach and
encourage participants to
both read what the experts
have discovered about the
style and experiment with it
themselves. In this vein, the
Trail Run has received the
Barefoot Runners Society
"Stomp of Approval".
Further information and

Think of your golf stance and golf club
grip as the foundation or launching pad for
your swings. Your golf stance may not be
perfect but you can compensate by staying
balanced and relaxed. Your weight should
be equally distributed over your left and
right legs. If you can pick either of your feet
off the ground, youre not balanced.

By Dennis Mansfield
About six or seven years
ago, a long-time friend ofmine called and asked to
come out to Camp Graylings
Range 10 facility and spot for
him during a high-power
(rifle) silhouette match.
Now, I knew what silhou-
ette shooting was about
kind of. My father had shot a
few high-power and small-
bore (.22 LR) matches over
the years, even placing third
at one, I think. But, admitted-
ly, I think Id been at one to
watch him shoot. And, being
that I was a lot younger at the
time, I dont think I paid
much attention.
Still, when my friend
called, it sounded like fun. I
mean, all he was asking for
was for me to stand behind a
spotting scope and mark his
score. How hard could that
be?
OK, first, he kind of suck-
ered me. He told me to bring
out one of my rifles, to try
and shoot at some targets
before the match just for
fun. So, I should have seen it
coming.
When I showed up, this
supposed friend quickly
revealed his true intent. And,
his logic was solid. Since I
was already there, had a rifle
in hand and enough ammu-
nition, I might as well shootthe match with him.
My friend, now shooting
partner, gave me a quick
education on what about was
going to happen, one Ill now
pass on to you, the reader, to
ponder.
The basic rules of high-
power silhouette are as fol-
lows:
The shooter may use a
rifle firing a standard or
non-magnum cartridge that
has a bore size of .243 (6mm)
or larger, up to .323 (8mm).
Theres a range master.
Hes in control. You listen to
his commands, such as
shooters to the line,
ready, fire and cease
fire. Those all seem pretty
self-explanatory.
You shoot standing, using
no support or sling.
The shooter shoots at
metallic targets shaped like
chickens, pigs, turkeys and
rams at distances of 200, 300,
400 and 500 meters, respec-
tively. You get a point for
each animal you knock
cleanly off the stand. If they
dont fall off, no point is
awarded.
Each set of animals (tar-
gets) are usually set in two
banks of five. A shooter has
2 minutes, 30 seconds toshoot at the first bank.
Theres a short break (about
30 seconds) and then you
shoot at the second bank.
Again, listen to the range
masters instructions.
OK, there are more rules,
like about the weight of the
rifle, etc. But, Im not here to
bore people with all the
details.
Oh, and safety is always
observed. Its amazing to
watch how shooters reli-
giously put open bore indi-
cators in the chamber to
show others the gun is
unloaded. Lets say, if theres
a rule on safety, its followed.
Theres even a paramedic on
site, just in case.
Now, I loved spotting for
my friend. It was amazing to
watch the vapor trail of the
bullet zipping on its way
downrange and hitting a tar-
get, and then the metal shape
slowly falling off the stand
(hes a lot better at this than I
am).
But, unfortunately, he
made me take my turn. And,
when I first stepped to the
line and looked for a ram
more than 550 yards away, I
could only turn and com-
ment, I cant hit one of those
things.Why not? he said.
Because I cant see the
stupid things! I exclaimed.
Thats what the scope on
your rifle is for, he added,
motioning for me to get
ready.
Out of 40 targets, I ended
up knocking down five. That
might not seem like many,
but I receive several positive
comments and words of
encouragement from other
shooters and didnt have the
lowest score on the day.
It was an experience that
quickly taught me the
numerous stories Ive heard
over the years about amazing
shots at long ranges deer
hunting were probably a
bunch of well, not true. It
also taught me that, while
Ive shot a variety of firearms
over several decades, I still
had a lot to learn.
And, frankly, thats why Im
writing this column. I found
out on that fateful day that I
loved just going out to the
range and shooting, and hav-
ing the chance to be around
and talk with other shooting
enthusiasts.
Sure, there were guys there
who were more serious about
competing to win in one of
four different classes. But,much like golf, each of us
could also stand there and
compete against ourselves,
and just enjoy the moment.
By the way, in 2010, I
apparently improved enough
to win the Michigan Class B
title. I even have the plaque
to prove it.
Like many other outdoor
events this spring, the first
match at Camp Grayling was
treated rudely by Mother
Nature. The opening 40-
round match on Saturday,
April 20, had to be canceled
and few felt like braving the
weather on Sunday, April 21.
But there are several more
matches scheduled at Camp
Grayling, and at other loca-
tions throughout Michigan,
during the summer and early
fall. A schedule can be found
online at the Michigan Rifle
and Pistol Associations web-
site at www.michrpa.org,
along with a contact link, if
you have questions.
Dont think you have to
have an expensive target rifle
to participate. I dont. And,
Ive seen guys step to the line
with their Old Reliable
hunting rifle. One even used
a somewhat sporterized mili-
tary carbine.
The idea is that high-power silhouette, and other
shooting sports, offer any
firearms enthusiast or just a
person whod like to shoot
more than sighting before
deer season an outlet to go
out and enjoy shooting, as
well as enjoying the company
of those who have same pas-
sion for it.
Give it a shot (pun intend-
ed). You could be like me,
years after I got that call, and
be hooked. After all, Im still
not good at it. But, it is fun
and that, as they say, is
priceless.

Daily WordTHURSDAY:Proverbs 4:24 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 24 Put away from you a
deceitful mouth And put devious speech far from you.
FRIDAY: Proverbs 16:21 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 21 The wise in heart will be
called understanding, And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.
SATURDAY: Ecclesiastes 5:6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)6 Do not let your
speech cause you to sin and do not say in the presence of the messenger of
God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your
voice and destroy the work of your hands?
SUNDAY: 1 John 1:1-3 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 1 What was from the begin-ning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have
looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life 2
and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to
you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us
3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too
may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father,
and with His Son Jesus Christ.
MONDAY: Colossians 4:6 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 6 Let your speech always
be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you
should respond to each person.
TUESDAY: Philippians 1:18 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 18 What then? Only that
in every way, whether in pretense or in truth,
Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will rejoice,
WEDNESDAY: Acts 2:38 New American Standard Bible
(NASB) 38 Peter said to them, Repent, and each
of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Kari wouldnt shut up. We were sitting at the kitchen table, five of us eating dinner, watch-
ing in amazement as this thirteen year old girl took us into her algebra class and how she
didnt do some homework, but the teacher never explained anyway but that was ok because
hes a hard teacher and nobody ever understands what hes doing because on the last test
everybody missed like most of the problems which we had never seen before and Severalminutes later, Kari finally came up for air (while the rest of us started clearing the table). I
asked Ryan how his day was. Good. Want to throw baseball.
Theres an urban myth that women use three times as many words per day as men, 20,000
vs 7,000. Some of you men are saying, Only 20,000!and some of the women reading this
are going to go to their husband and say, Have you heard of this? You know what I think
Whether the volume of words we use in a day is high or low, what is true is that the dna of
them will reflect what our priorities are. Jesus said in Matthew 6:21 Where your treasure is,
thats where your heart will also be. My treasures are not just finances and things I can do
with them, but my time, what I bring my family to, what I look at on the internet, what I
read, where I go all of these reflect where my priorities are. And guess what? Theyre the
things I like talking about the most.
When I was in college our conversation centered around babes, basketball, Bugs Bunny,
and the Bible. Today if you want to get more than a couple words out of me, ask about my
family, my marriage, overseas missions work, or what Im learning on my spiritual journey.
Those are the things I treasure and where my heart is. And I can get in touch with my femi-
nine side and use 20,000 words easy to talk about them.
Thoughts on...What do you love to talkabout the most??

By Jim Akans
This very spacious, four-bedroom, three-bath home is situated on just over 20 acres of
woodlands and is a short drive away from the Burt Lake public beach and boat launch, as
well as Mullett Lake and the vast Northern Michigan snowmobile trail system. So virtually
any outdoor recreational, hunting or hiking opportunity the north has to offer is close at
hand.
The home features approximately 2,900 square feet of living area on two levels, with the
main level highlighted by a huge (24 by 28 f oot) living and dining room combination, a large
eat-in kitchen (with loads of storage space), a family room with wood stove, and three gen-
erously sized bedrooms. Upstairs is all master suite; providing plenty of room to relax in this
amazing 16 by 27 foot space!
And there is much more to this weeks feature listing. In addition to the 24 by 24 foot
attached garage, there is a nother two-story gambrel style building on the property that is
insulated and heated. That includes a bonus room that could make an excellent spot for
guest quarters, media room or man-cave.
What a great place to enjoy all that north has to offer, and it is also a wonderful value; list-
ed at just $169,000.

ChecklistTips for Sellers
Compliments of Ed Wohlfiel
It doesn't matter whether you are selling yourhome as a short sale or as a traditional seller, yourchecklist for home selling is identical. There are cer-
tain things on a home selling checklist that everyresponsible seller should do.
You would utilize your home closing checklist
after all of your personal belongings and furniturehas been moved. Although, not every seller isrequired to prior to or on the day of closing, most
home sellers find that they can't begin to wrap upthe process until everything is removed from thehome.
Part 1 of 2
Closing Checklist Tip #1: Retain Executed SellerDisclosures, Purchase Contract and Addendums
Ideally, you will receive a complete closing pack-age by your escrow officer or closing agent. But youcould also find some of these documents scattered
about in your car or at your office. Keep all of thesedocuments in a safe place. It's conceivable youcould need them again, especially if a bill was
unpaid or the buyer challenges something and hiresan attorney.
Closing Checklist Tip #2: Clean the House
If you don't have time to clean, hire a profession-
al cleaning service. How clean to leave a house isoften personal preference. It's not always necessaryto shampoo the carpets, but that's a nice touch. This
also means wipe down cabinets, inside and out. Itdoesn't hurt to make your last impression on thebuyer a good one by polishing sink fixtures. Leave
your home the way you, as a buyer, would like tofind it.
Closing Checklist Tip #3: Turn Off Shut-Off Valves
If you have disconnected a washer, for example,
make sure the shut-off value is completely turned
off because a small drip, drip, can eventually flood ahome. Some sellers shut off the valves to all water
sources such as sinks, toilets and dishwashers, too.Leave a note for the buyers so they won't call aplumber when the water won't turn on.
Closing Checklist Tip #4: Attend the Final Walk-Through
There are so many quirks that only a home sellerknows, and you could pass on these tips to a new
home buyer during the final walk-through. Thingslike which light switch operates the lights, whether adoor sticks, or how to clean a swimming pool. I like
to ask sellers what they always wanted to do for ahome improvement project but never got around todoing.
Closing Checklist Tip #5: Cancel Your InsurancePolicies
Wait until you know the deed has recorded ortitle transfer has formally occurred before you call
your insurance agent. You should receive a refundfrom a prepaid premium for your homeowner's
insurance.
