PETOSKEY -- The

Northwest Michigan chapter

of the Quality Deer

Management Association

(QDMA), in partnership with

Leelanau Whitetails, has

proposed new antler point

restrictions (APR) for the fol-

lowing 12 counties: Antrim,

Benzie, Charlevoix, Emmet,

Grand Traverse, Kalkaska,Lake, Manistee, Mason,

Missaukee, Osceola and

Wexford.

This proposal seeks to

require that all antlered deer

harvested in the area have at

least three antler points on

one side. The statewide

requirement that hunters

taking two bucks must

ensure at least one of those

bucks has four or more

antler points on one side

would remain in place. The

proposed regulations would

be consistent with the cur-

rent restriction in Deer

Management Unit (DMU)

045, which is Leelanau

County. The restriction will

be considered for imple-

mentation starting with the

2013 deer season. Antlerless

deer regulations within the

proposed area would con-tinue to be determined by

the Department of Natural

Resources (DNR).

The DNR supports the vol-

untary implementation of

APR on private land. Under

guidelines adopted by the

Natural Resources

Commission (NRC), manda-

tory regulations proposed by

sponsoring organizations

will be implement ed only

where a clear majority of 66

percent support among

hunters in the proposed area

is documented. Support will

be determined by a DNR

survey mailed to a sample of

hunters who indicated on

the 2011 DNR deer harvest

survey that they hunted deer

in one of the 12 counties.

Surveys will be mailed start-

ing in August.

"The Northwest Michiganchapter of the QDMA pro-

posal is our first since the

moratorium has been lift-

ed," said DNR deer biologist

Ashley Hippler. "We are

looking forward to seeing

how the majority of north-

western Michigan deer

hunters feel about antler

point restrictions."

The Northwest Michigan

chapter of the QDMA is

hosting local meetings to

answer questions and pro-

vide explanation. The next

meeting is scheduled for

Saturday, July 28, at 4 p.m. inthe Petoskey High School

auditorium. Meetings have

already been held in Benzie,

Kalkaska, Manistee, Mason

and Wexford counties.

Landowners in any of the 12

proposed counties who

would like to offer input on

the proposal may email

comments to DNR-

[email protected].

This is the last scheduled

meeting the Northwest

Michigan chapter of the

QDMA will be hosting.

Payment by the Northwest

Michigan chapter of the

QDMA will offset survey

costs incurred by this pro-posal.

The NRC had placed a

moratorium on accepting

APR proposals in 2006, to

allow the DNR to assess

experiences with initial

guidelines which were

implemented in 1999. The

NRC assembled a stakehold-

er workgroup late in 2010 to

provide recommendations

regarding revisions to the

process. The DNR is now

evaluating proposals based

on recommendations from

this workgroup and other

modifications to increaseefficiency and cost-effective-

ness. The NRC retains full

authority over decisions to

implement APR and other

harvest regulations, but the

proposal review process pro-

vides valuable information

to inform those decisions.

best bang for your buck this

summer.

From August 1-3, CMU will

be running a College

Exposure basketball camp.

The camp is open to any boy

entering the sixth- through

twelfth-grade. The cost for the

camp is $249 for an overnight

prepare players to play at the

next level. An emphasis will be

placed on developing the

individual skills and knowl-

edge that will help players to

reach their full potential. A

daily camp will include work-

out stations, competitions,

games and video analysis.

GRAYLING -- Michigan's

"lone" wolverine is now on dis-

play at the Hartwick PinesVisitor Center. Jeff Ford of

Caro, a retired high school sci-

ence teacher who tracked,

photographed and videotaped

the only wild wolverine ever

confirmed in the state will

present a program on

Saturday, July 28, at noon and 3

p.m. and meet with the public

afterward.

Fords video footage aired on

the TV show Animal Planet in

2006 and on PBS Nature in

2010 on a show entitled

Wolverine: Chasing The

Phantom.

The wolverine was discov-ered in the Thumb area in 2004

and roamed the Minden City

State Game area until its natu-

ral death in 2010. Originally

displayed for nearly a year at

the Saginaw Bay Visitor Center

at the Bay City Recreation

Area, the wolverine then went

to the Michigan Historical

Center where a secure caseand exhibit panels were creat-

ed.

Since early June 2012, the

exhibit has traveled to Thumb-

area venues and will continue

throughout the state before

settling back in at the Bay City

Recreation Area for the winter.

The display will remain at

Hartwick Pines until August

15. The visitor center is open

daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Visitor s need a recreation

passport to drive into the park.

The exhibit features taxi-

dermy of the wolverine and

information about its time inMichigan, as well as a look at

the wolverine in science and in

Michigan history. An animal

rarely seen in the wild, the

wolverin e has drawn large,

curious crowds at each stop

along the tour.

As with most festivals, the

candy, snacks, and food are

plentiful. The smell of roast-

ed almonds and the sight of

kids with cotton candy aresynonymous with carnivals.

Alpenfest is no different. On

an overcast Saturday morn-

ing, before most people have

even gotten out of bed, a

large number of participants

from across northern

Michigan were gathered at

the pavilion to run, walk, or

sprint their way to the large

blown-up finish line com-

pleting the Alpenfest run.

There was an eclectic mix of

people who wanted to chal-

lenge themselves. Some of

Gaylords best cross country

runners showed up to

improve themselves for their

upcoming season. Charlend

Howard completed the 10k

trimming two minutes off his

last years finish. Kevin

Smith, also of Gaylord, domi-

nated the 5k for the second

year in a row with an almost

effortless stride that proved

to be unmatchable.

However, not everyone

came looking to compete.For many, just completing

the run is what was most

important. Its a common

theme for Alpenfest, the

unity of locals and non-locals

together. As every runner,

regardless of speed, neared

the finish line, they were

encouraged with yells of sup-

port from the spectators.

Even the runners themselves,

upon finishing their race,

would take time for a short

recovery before joining the

spectators in uplifting cheers

of support for their fellow

runners.

So congratulations to all

who partici pated. Whether

you ran, walked, or cheered,

it made for a fun, healthy way

to spend an overcast

Saturday morning.

On Saturday, July 28, Music in Mackinaws

2012 summer concert season will f eature

Whispers of the North, performing their

Gordon Lightfoot Tribute. The concert will

be held in the ROTH Performance Shell at

Conkling Heritage Park in Mackinaw City

beginning at 8:00pm.

If you have read Mike Fornes newspaper

work, heard him on the radio, seen him on

TV or read any of the three books he has

written, all whose subject matter feature

destinations in and around the Straits of

Mackinaw, you know and understand the

feelings and appreciation he has for the

Straits of Mackinac area. The woods, the

water and the wildlife blend with the NorthCountry music youll hear in concert. His

portrayal of Gordon Lightfoot is simply an

honest effort to entertain with an accurate

representation of a Lightfoot show. Mikes

music takes him a long way from the worlds

of hockey and media where he u sually lives.

His determination to utilize his musical tal-

ent and skills many years ago by creating the

Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Band has continu-

ally astounded audiences with their authen-

tic replication of the songs, styles and moods

of the Canadian singer-songwriters best!

Four talented musicians play the roles of

Gordon Lightfoots stage band, replicating

parts heard on recordings and in live per-

formance by Terry Clements (lead guitar),

Barry Keane (drums), Rick Haynes (bass) and

Michael Heffernan (keyboards).

Lead guitarist Todd Golnick is a detective

lieutenant with the Cadillac Police

Department, where he has also served as a

patrol officer, sergeant shift supervisor, K-9officer, tactical team member and dive team

leader. Todd also off iciates area hockey

games from youth levels to high school and

college. His guitar background is in blues

and rock n roll.

John Riemer, bass guitarist, retired from a

music career that saw him serve for more

than 20 years as the Director of Jazz Guitar

Studies at Kalamazoo College and

Kalamazoo Community College. Originally

from Chicago, John grew up during the

height of the jazz era and performed,

instructed,

composed and

published dur-

ing a successful 50-year musical career. His

background is theater, stage, group, solo,

studio and garage.

The versatile Director of Music Ministry at

St. Mary/St. Charles Church in Cheboygan,

George Krawczyk has appeared in countless

musical productions on piano and organ

since his move to Northern Michigan after a

twenty-three year stint of playing and teach-

ing in the Flint and Ann Arbor areas. Besides

his superior work in religious music and

show tunes in local productions, Krawczyk

also enjoys playing in jazz and easy listening

roles. He annually partners to write a musi-

cal comedy for Cheboygans local summer

childrens theatre production.

After many years of playing in blues and

rock n roll groups in Michigan, Colorado

and Florida, Chuck Kopp is excited to bring

his experience in drums and percussion to

Whispers of the North. Chuck has worked

as a realtor for his familys Cheboygan real

estate company for the past 13 years. He

began drumming at an early age, first learn-

ing from his father who is also a drummer.

Music in Mackinaw concerts are held

every consecutive Saturday evening through

Labor Day week-end, always beginning at8:00pm. Admission is free with seating on

the lawn. For those who can, it is suggested

to bring lawn chairs. However, chairs are

available for a modest donation.

These performances are made possible in

part by the Michigan Council for Arts and

Cultural Affairs and the Cheboygan Area Arts

Council, the Mackinaw City Chamber of

Commerce, Mackinaw Area Visitors Bureau,

Local Businesses and residents, and in coop-

eration with the Village of Mackinaw City.

Donations are accepted through the Straits

Area Community Foundation.

Daily WordTHURSDAY: Luke 15:7-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 7 I tell you that in the same

way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-

nine righteous persons who need no repentance. 8 Or what woman, if she has ten sil-

ver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search

carefully until she finds it? 9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and

neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost! 10 In

the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sin-

ner who repents.

FRIDAY: John 16:19-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 19 Jesus knew that they wished

to question Him, and He said to them, Are you deliberating together about this, that I

said, A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see

Me? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will

rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy. 21 Whenever a woman is

in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the

child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been

born into the world.

SATURDAY: John 16:23-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 23 In that day you will not

question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for any-

thing in My name, He will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked for nothing in

My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

SUNDAY: Galatians 5:22 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is

love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

MONDAY: 2 Timothy 1:3-4 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 3 I thank God, whom I serve

with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in

my prayers night and day, 4 longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I

may be filled with joy.

TUESDAY: 1 Peter 1:7-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 7 so that the proof of your

faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire,

may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him

now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9

obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

WEDNESDAY: Jude 1:24-25 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 24 Now to Him who is

able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory

blameless with great joy, 25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,

be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

True joy only comes from God.Bob Johnson, Petoskey

Joy means many different things to people. The dictionary defines joy as "the emo-

tion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing

what one desires." (Merriam-Webster). It can mean the happiness found in family,

career satisfaction and goal attainment, acquisition of material goods, societal status,

all of which are examples of the human experience of daily living. The lasting happi-

ness that is sought through the things of the world does not really satisfy, as all of these

things can be effected by unexpected change. Family can be disrupted by divorce or ill-

ness, careers are at the mercy of economic changes on a local, national, and global level.An attained goal may no longer be relevant in future years. The acquisition of materi-

al goods and achievement of societal status can disappear in a heartbeat. Putting ones

trust in the temporary things of the world is indeed risky business. Someday these

things will pass away as they are things of the earth and not of the eternal.

What brings me joy? The joy of the Lord! The joy of the Lord brings to us a last-

ing and fulfilling joy because it is based on the eternal truth of a holy God. Blog author

Mike Ratliff (Wordpress.com) states it this way: "Joy is both an outcome of our rela-

tionship with the Lord and our source of strength for our obedience to Him (context

from John 15 and Nehemiah 8:9)." The Bible tells us more about true joy. There is joy

when one person repents than at any other time (Luke 15:7); the confidence of being

saved brings joy (Habakkuk 3:18, Psalm 51:12); and joy is a fruit of the Spirit of God

(Galatians 5:22).

You can see from this list that the source of true and eternal joy lay in our salvation

and our ongoing relationship with God. Your search for true joy will not be found in

yourself, your talents, or your worldly success or possessions. Give up reliance on the

temporary joys of this earthly life and rely on Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He will give

you a heart and soul full of joy that will sustain you for eternity.

Hot dry weather continues to plague much

of the country including right here in south-

eastern Wisconsin. Keeping lawns and land-

scapes alive and well has been a struggle for

many gardeners. Here are a few ways to help

your landscape through this challenging sea-

son:

Prioritize watering. New plantings, mois-

ture lovers, and stressed plants should be the

first to receive a good long drink.

Give mature trees a hand. Even these

landscape giants need water during drought.

Soak the area under the dripline providing

10 gallons of water per inch diameter of tree

trunk.Mulch the soil. Spread a two to three inch

layer of woodchips, bark, shredded leaves,

evergreen needles or other organic matter

over the soil surface surrounding plants. It

conserves water, keeps roots cooler, sup-

presses weeds, and improves the soil as it

decomposes.

Dormant lawns should remain dormant.

Taking your lawn in and out of dormancy

with inconsistent watering is harder on the

lawns than dormancy. Providing inch of

water once a month will help keep the crown

of the grass alive without breaking dorman-

cy.

Minimize foot and equipment traffic on

dormant lawns and do not treat with pesti-

cides or fast release high nitrogen fertilizersthat can damage a dormant lawn.

Check container gardens at least once a

day and more often during extreme heat.

Move planters to a bit more shade to slow

drying, reduce risk of scorch and heat stress.

Use water wisely. Water early in day when

possible to reduce moisture loss to evapora-

tion. Use soaker hoses and drip irrigation

whenever possible. Youll use less water by

applying it right to the soil where it is need-

ed. And always water thoroughly and less

frequently to encourage plants to develop

deeper more drought tolerant roots. For

Add a little extra color and motion to

your summer garden with containers

designed to attract birds and butterflies.

Many garden centers continue to sellannuals throughout the summer and

many of these mid-season annuals are a

bit bigger, providing instant impact.

Its easier than you think to attract

birds and butterflies and the good news

is you dont need a lot of space to do it.

Container gardens give you the ability to

attract wildlife to your backyard, patio,

deck or even balcony. Simply follow

these four steps and your garden will be

filled with color, motion and a season of

wildlife.

1- Provide food for birds and but-

terflies. Include plants with flat daisy-

like flowers like pentas, zinnias, and

cosmos to attract butterflies. For hum-

mingbirds, include some plants with

tubular flowers including nicotiana,cuphea, salvia, and fuchsia. And don't

forget about the hungry caterpillars that

will soon turn into beautiful butterflies.

Parsley, bronze f ennel, and licorice vines

are a few favorites that make great addi-

tions to container gardens. You can even

create containers that will attract seed-

eating birds. Purple Majesty millet,

coneflower, coreopsis, and Rudbeckias

will keep many of the birds returning to

your landscape.

2- Include water for both the birds

and butterflies. Its a key ingredient and

a decorative small shallow container

filled with water can be included in alarge container. Or include a free-

standing birdbath within your container

collection. I used a bronzed leaf bird-

bath in just this way. It created a great

vertical accent, added interest to a blank

wall and provided a water supply for the

birds.

3- Give them a place to live and

raise their young. Add a few evergreens,

ornamental grasses, and perennials to

your container garden. Use weather

resistant containers that can tolerate the

extreme heat and cold in your garden.

Then fill with plants that are at least one

zone hardier. Or add a few birdhouses.

These can be included in the container

or mounted on a fence, post, or nearby

tree.4- Skip the pesticides, please.

Nature, including the birds you invite

into your landscape, will devour many

garden pests. Plus, the chemicals

designed to kill the bad guys can also

kill the good bugs and wildlife you are

trying to attract. And, if pests get out of

hand, use more eco-friendly products

like soaps, Neem, and horticulture oil as

a control mechanism. And, as always,

read and follow label directions careful-

ly.

And to conserve time and energy, try

using one of the self-watering contain-

ers or hanging baskets that are on the

market. This helps to make it both easy

and convenient when time constraints

and vacations get in the way of provid-

ing ideal care. I recently tried using one

of the Gardeners Supply Easy Roller

self-watering containers. I filled one

with wildlife-friendly petunias along

with papyrus and golden moneywort.

After a five-day trip during hot dry

weather I returned to find my container

garden in great shape and humming-

birds visiting the flowers.

So gather your family and get started

planting your wildlife container garden

today.
