GAYLORD -- The Ski Valley
Conference has a much dif-
ferent look this year. The
league has added four more
teams, including three from
the eastern Upper Peninsula,
to create a 12-team confer-
ence separated into northand south divisions.
The Ski Valley South fea-
tures two-time defending
league champion Mancelona
along with Johannesburg-
Lewiston, Onaway, Central
Lake, Gaylord St. Mary and
Forest Area. All of the teams
in the South are Ski Valley
holdovers. The Ski Valley
North features holdovers
Inland Lakes and Pellston
vying with newcomers St.
Ignace, Rudyard, Pickford
and Rogers City.
Under the new format,
each division will crown its
own champion and each
division will have its own All-
Conference roster. Some of
the coaches would like to see
week 9 of the regular season
set aside for a crossover
game so the league could
have a single champion but
those logistics have not been
worked out yet. For this sea-
son, at least, there will be a
Ski Valley North and a Ski
Valley South champion.
In the Ski Valley South,
Mancelona and
Johannesburg are favored to
vie for the title.
The Ironmen of head
coach Dan Derrer set a
school record with 10 winslast season and advanced to
the Div. 7 district finals for
the second straight time.
They havent lost to a Ski
Valley foe since Oct. 9, 2009
against Inland Lakes and
take a 16-game league win-
ning streak into the season.
The Cardinals of head
coach John Bush are loaded
with quality returnees from a
team that finished 8-2 a year
ago and finished as runner-
up in the league with a 6-1
mark. J-L has a senior-heavy
roster and varsity experience
at virtually every position.
The Ironmen and the
Cardinals face off on Sept. 7in just the third week of the
regular season but the out-
come of that game could well
decide who hoists the trophy
as Ski Valley South champi-
on.
Mancelona has several
players returning from the
team that made the playoffs a
year ago for the fifth time in
Derrers six seasons as coach.
Senior halfback Wyatt
Derrer (5-11, 185) is back
after amassing more than
1,500 yards rushing last year
and scoring 24 touchdowns.
The Sheriff doesnt plan to
take any prisoners this sea-
son as he adds to the laurels
of a distinguished prep grid-
iron career and follows in the
footsteps of previous
Mancelona first-team All-
State running backs AdamDuerksen and Taylor Borst.
The cobra-quick Derrer is
the most explosive back in
the Ski Valley but he is not the
only threat for the Ironmen.
Speedy senior Trevor Ackler
(5-10, 170), author of the Ack
Attack who gained more than
500 yards last year, and
breakaway threat Justin
Spires (6-1, 170), a junior,
return to a loaded backfield
that features as much speed
as Coach Derrer has ever had
on a team roster before.
Juniors Erik Wheeler,
Kenny Burnette, Nick Bevins
and Jacob Allen provide
excellent depth in the deep-
est, fastest backfield in the
region.
Rawhide-tough juniors
Logan Borst (5-8, 170) and
Luke Smigielski (5-10, 180)
will rotate at fullback and
savvy senior Kyle
Schepperley (6-1, 175)
returns at quarterback to
operate an offense that fea-
tures a double-wing or wing-
T attack with lots of traps,
counters and sweeps.
Its big having Kyle back
because of his experience,
Derrer said. He does a great
job running the offense. Hes
definitely a leader. We haventthrown that much in the past
because we havent needed
to but its a weapon we have
with Kyle. Wed like to throw a
little more this year and keep
teams off balance.
The Dark Diesel, savage-
hitting senior Dalton Sulz (6-
2, 220) returns as a three-year
starter at guard to anchor a
line that is experienced and
physically imposing. All-
Conference lineman Dakota
Orman (6-1, 175) moves from
guard to tackle and juniors
Garrett Derrer and Nick
Balhorn, both up from the JV,
will see duty at guard. Joltin
junior Tristen Fleet (6-2, 270)at center and senior Darrel
Kiel (5-11, 220) at tackle are
also back along with tight
ends Kevin Schepperley (6-1,
185) and Brandon Scott (6-3,
190).
Sulz and Smigielski both
return at inside linebacker in
Mancelonas 5-2 defensive
alignment. Other key
returnees to the Iron Curtain
defense of the Ironmen
include Scott, who has been
moved from defensive end to
defensive tackle, along with
Fleet at nose guard, Dakota
Orman (6-1, 175) at tackle,
Kevin Schepperley at defen-
sive end and Derrer, Spires
and Kyle Schepperley in the
secondary.
One thing we stress to the
kids is that it doesnt matter
what weve done in the past,
Derrer said. Last year is last
year. Even though we have a
lot of kids back, nothing is
given. Teams are going to
want to beat us. Last years
team took thing one game at
a time and came ready to
play every week. Thats the
same thing we need to do
this year.
Derrer said he expects a
tough challenge from
Johannesburg.
Joburg has a lot of seniors
back and John always has
them ready to play, Derrer
said. Theyll be experiencedand I expect them to be very
good. Its the first conference
game so its a big one for both
of us.
At J-L, Bush expects to
benefit from senior leader-
ship on and off the field.
We have 14 or 15 seniors,
the most Ive ever had, and a
lot of them played last year,
he said. This is a veteran
team so well go as the sen-
iors go. Im looking for big
things this year.
Senior Alex Payne (5-11,
175) is a three-year starter at
quarterback and is adept at
engineering the deceptive
wing-T attack of theCardinals. He also gained
more than 700 yards rushing
last year and is a quick-strike
threat through the air with
the play-action pass.
Alex has the confidence
that comes from playing in
past years and knowing the
offense really well, Bush
said. He makes good deci-
sions and has all the tools. He
can run, he can throw and he
knows how to read defenses
and who to hand the ball off
to. He knows exactly what I
want and he does it. I dont
have to worry about it when
hes out there.
Turf-buster Mitch
Howitzer Hardy (5-10, 150)
returns at the ever-danger-
ous fullback slot after amass-
ing more than 1,300 yards
rushing a year ago. Another
1,000-yard rusher, Brian
VanCoillie, has graduated but
dependable Dillon Kibby (5-
11, 165) and Jake Newell (6-0,
180) return to the backfield
after each gained close to 400
yards rushing last year. Junior
Dillon Cushman, an impact
player at the JV level the past
two years, adds excellent
depth in the backfield.
The line will be a strong
point once again for the
Cardinals. Seniors Drake
Skowronski (5-11, 215) and
Dakota Finnerty (6-0, 220)
are key returnees in thetrenches along with Logan
Miller (6-1, 210) and Garrett
Koronka (6-3, 220).
Well do some double
wing and one-back stuff but
it all boils down to the wing-
T, Bush said. Thats what we
do best. The key for us is exe-
cution. If we execute the way
were supposed to, things will
work.
The Cardinals employ a
five-man front on defense.
Wyatt Pelton (6-2, 175)
returns at nose guard. Miller
and Koronka also return on
the D-line while Brad
Kussrow (6-0, 190), Dylan
Helms (5-10, 180) and
Finnerty return at linebacker.
Hardy and Payne return to
the secondary and are joined
by senior Joey McGuire and
junior Coalton Huff.
Our first goal is to win the
league and then to win every
game, Bush said. To do
that, we know we have to go
through Mancelona. Theyre
the team to beat. Dan does a
great job over there with
those kids. Theyre not fancy
but theyre good at what they
do. We know we have to beat
Mancelona to win the league.
After that, we want to go as
far as we can in the playoffs.At Onaway, first-year head
coach Brian Whitsitt has
some key players returning
from last years 5-4 squad (4-
3 in the league), including
breakaway threat Jason
Sigsby in the backfield. The
shifty Sigsby (5-8, 160) was a
1,000-yard rusher a year ago
and comes into the 2012
campaign as one of the top
breakaway threats in the Ski
Valley South.
Fellow senior Chae
Whitsitt (5-8, 185) moves
from receiver to fullback to
serve as the lead blocker for
Sigsby. Senior Justin Gedda(5-6, 160), a four-year varsity
starter like Whitsitt, handles
slot duties and will be used as
both runner and receiver.
Junior Tommy Auger (5-9,
150), a strong performer on
the 7-1 JV squad last year,
gives the Cardinals a quick-
strike threat at receiver.
Juniors Matt Tollini (5-9,
155) and Carlos Bautista (6-2,
185) are vying for the quar-
terback spot. Both are good
leaders, Whitsitt said, who
know the offense and can run
the plays. Both can also
throw with accuracy.
Seniors Joey Heltsley (5-7,
150) at center and Ryan Hyde
(6-1, 195) at guard return to
anchor the line.
Well still be run-oriented
but we want to mix up the
attack a little bit and keep the
other team off balance, said
Whitsitt, who served the past
four years as Onaways
defensive coordinator.
Veteran Mancelona head coach Dan Boo Derrer is
seeking his sixth playoff berth in seven years at the
helm of the program.
Johannesburg-Lewiston head coach John Bush has a
senior-laden roster with plenty of experience heading
into the season.

PELLSTON The Pellston
volleyball team hosted its
annual season-openingtournament on Saturday
and earned the privilege of
hoisting the championship
trophy with another impres-
sive performance.
Pellston went undefeated,
posting a 5-0-3 record on
the day. In pool play, the
Hornets defeated Harbor
Light and Inland Lakes and
split with Charlevoix, Forest
Area and Boyne City. In the
quarters, the Hornets edged
Cheboygan 26-24, 25-22
before rallying to beat
Kingsley in the semifinals,
22-25, 25-19, 15-7.In the title match, the
Hornets edged Onaway in a
spirited battle, 25-23, 25-23.
Angular Emma Dunham
cast a long shadow in the
middle. The senior secured
22 kills with seven blocks.
Senior right-side hitter Tori
Kirsch crushed 24 kills with
three blocks and 17 digs and
she was a cannon at the
stripe, recording 19 aces.
Junior Kelly Lewis
launched four aces to go
with 11 kills and 33 digs and
senior outside hitter
Victori a Rybinski was no
secret in the offensive
assault as she stepped up
big time to notch 40 kills
and 58 digs to go with 14
aces.
Junior setter Abbie Welch
served up sweet deliveries
like a pastry chef, earning a
whoppi ng 123 assist s.
Sophomore MackenzieWright whacke d 48 kills
with two blocks and nine
aces and senior libero Dana
Zulski covered the floor like
a fresh coat of wax, notching
52 digs.

Team camp in the U.P.Volleyball
Onaway features a base 6-2
defensive alignment
designed to take away inside
traps and slow down the run-
ning game. Gedda, the lead-
ing tackler last year, is back at
weakside linebacker. Whitsitt
returns at defensive end
while Sigsby is back at lock-
down cornerback and
Bautista at free safety. Juniors
Casey Watson (5-8, 175) and
Frank Ramos (5-6, 190) are
key newcomers on the defen-
sive line.
Our primary goal is to
make the playoffs, Whitsitt
said. We came close last year
but missed out. This year we
want to make it in and win
our first playoff game since
1976. The boys are hungry.
They got a little taste of it last
year and want to take it a step
further.
At Gaylord St. Mary, sec-
ond-year coach DennyYoungeDyke has several
players returning from last
seasons 1-8 squad and better
numbers. Among the 23
players on the 2012 varsity
roster are four sophomores
who started as freshmen a
year ago
We have 23 kids out for
football, which is really good
for us, YoungeDyke said.
And the 130-pound fresh-
men of a year ago are now
170-pound sophomores with
experience.
YoungeDyke, who was a
successful head coach at
Central Lake from 1982-97,
believes the Snowbirds will
be able to score points this
season.
Rangy junior Charles
Strehl (6-4, 185) takes over at
quarterback. He will engi-
neer a double-wing offensive
scheme out of the pistol for-
mation and hell have a
speedy group of runners lin-
ing up behind him.
Senior Nick Lochinski (5-
10, 170), who played tight
end last year, will man the
key fullback spot while speed
burners Nick Harrington (5-10, 155) and Cameron Juniak
(5-10, 180) will line up at
wings. Another key returnee
is senior Matt Spyhalski (5-
10, 160) at receiver.
The line is young but has
decent size. Junior Brendan
Nowicki (6-0, 235) and trans-
fer Steven Hare (6-4, 312)
man the guard posts with
senior Cam Switalski (6-0,
180) and sophomore Orion
Beningo (6-3, 180) returning
at tackles and rugged Willie
Canfield (5-9, 210), a junior,
back at center.YoungeDykes biggest con-
cern going into the season is
how quickly the defense
develops. Harrington and
Spyhalski are back at corner-
back, Lochinski at inside
linebacker, Switalski at
defense end and Beningo at
nose guard.
At Central Lake, head
coach Rob Heeke has 12 sen-
iors back from a team that
posted a disappointing 3-6
record a year ago. Before last
year, the Trojans had made
the playoffs six years in a row.
Heeke is lacking in depth
with just 20 on the varsity buthe has a solid group of
starters back and he says the
players have exhibited the
best attitude and effort Ive
had since Ive been at Central
Lake and maybe in my whole
coaching career.
Senior Kyle Hiltunen (6-1,
185) moves from fullback,
where he was the leading
rusher a year ago, to quarter-
back. He played behind cen-
ter a few games last year and
also at the JV level. Hiltunen
is a strong, intelligent leader
with a good grasp of the
offense and a powerful
north-south type runner
with a nose for the end zone.
He scored nine times last
year.
Taylor Sutherland (6-1,
175), Zach Carley (6-1, 205),
Will Brockman (6-2, 175) and
George Thayer (6-0, 175) are
part of a running back bycommittee for Heeke, who
favors a T-oriented ground
attack that comes right at
you with a little bit of decep-
tion.
Senior center Dylan
Buffman (6-2, 205) anchors
an experienced line that also
features thunder tackles
Jordan Moffitt (6-3, 295) and
Ethan Wallace (5-10, 330).
The receiving corps of sen-
iors Matt Sextan (5-10, 165)
and T.J. Potter (6-0, 170) and
junior Sam Potter (6-2, 180)
are all new. The only player
who has caught a varsity pass
going into the season, in fact,is quarterback Hiltunen.
The Trojans feature a five-
man front on defense.
Buffman and junior Corbin
Newton (6-0, 200) man the
interior along with Moffitt
and Wallace with Carley,
Potter and Jacob Szoka (6-0,
195) at defensive end.
Hiltunen and Jeff Joyce (5-10,
205) return at linebacker
along with senior Tyler
Moran (5-10, 150).
Brockman, Thayer and
Sexton return to the second-
ary. Hard-hitting junior Nate
Veldbloom (6-2, 195) sus-
tained a shoulder injury but
Heeke is hopeful he can
return in time to help in the
secondary.
Heekes goal is to play in
the game that determines the
conference championship.
I always figure if were in
the game that decides theconference, the playoffs and
other things will take care of
themselves, he said.
At Forest Area, the num-
bers arent great but head
coach Josh Merchant said
the quality of kids we have is
really good.
Senior Tyler Birgy (6-2,
175), who was a starting
receiver last season but saw
some duty at quarterback,
will call the signals for an
offense that features multiple
sets and formations. Birgy,
who added several pounds of
muscle in the off-season, will
engineer a run-orientedattack out of the shotgun.
Junior Hayden Hollister,
who has sprinters speed, will
line up again in the backfield
along with returning senior
starter Jordan Cecil (5-10,
190), a downhill runner with
good speed. When Birgy goes
to the air, he has some rangy
weapons in All-Conference
junior Justin Burke, who
stands 6-3 and has 4.6 speed
in the 40, along with 6-6 jun-
ior Scott Sedwick, up from
the JV.
Junior tackles Brandon
Ames (6-3, 185) and Chris
Birgy anchor an offensive
line that is quite young and
averages less than 200
pounds. Merchant will be
relying on rugged sopho-
more tight end Austin Vance
(6-2, 205), who started as a
freshman last year and washonorable mention All-
Conference, to help bolster
the blocking.
Well try to get our ath-
letes out in space and take
advantage of our speed in the
backfield and our height at
quarterback and receiver,
Merchant said.
Merchant acknowledges
that his defense will not
intimidate other teams with
its size.
Were not very big but
well put the small guys in
there and try to wreak
havoc, he said.
One plus is the return of
Cecil, a first-team All-
Conference linebacker and a
third-year starter at the old-
school monster slot.
Merchant also expects good
production from sophomore
Zach Denboer (5-10, 170) at
linebacker. Junior Matthew
Elliott (5-6, 130) is very quick
at nose guard. Burke and
Hollister are returning
starters in the secondary.
Merchants goals are to
give a maximum effort and
get better every week.

Northeast Lower
Peninsula Fishing
ReportCheboygan: Anglers are
still targeting trout and
salmon out of Cheboygan.
Anglers are trolling from the
Bell to Mackinaw City, the
back side of Bois Blanc
Island, Lafayette Point and
Cordwood Point areas.
Anglers are fishing spoons in
grey with white and black, or
a white spoon with thin lines
of pink, green, yellow and
orange. Silver and green
flashers and flies are also
producing.
Cheboygan River: River
anglers are fishing the Foot
Bridge to the Locks using
crawler pieces. Anglers are
harvesting smallmouth bass,
drum and rock bass.
Hammond Bay: Has
received a lot of north wind
with four to six foot swells.
When anglers were able to
make it out, they were
trolling 9 Mile Point forsalmon, steelhead and lake
trout in 90 feet of water, 20 to
30 feet down and at the
Biological Station in 100 to
120 feet of water, 25 to 40 feet
down.
Rogers City: Not much
angling this week. Steelhead,
Chinook salmon, and a few
lake trout were harvested
however, scattered all over
and up and down the water
column. Fish were high (50
feet) in the morning hours
but quickly retreated to the
bottom later in the after-
noon. Getting out before sun
up for an hour or two andgetting out the last couple of
hours for the day will be
paramount this next week
until things settle. Best
depths range from 50 to 120
feet of water and finding
where the temperatu re
breaks. Anglers were using
downriggers, lead cores, and
dipseys in dark green, orange
and white, black and white,
purple, green and chartreuse.
Good locations include
straight out of the harbor off
the hump, west towards 40
Mile Point, south towards
Calcite Plant, Swan Bay and
Adams Point.
Presque Isle: Has been
unfishable most of the week.
Anglers that went out fished
straight out from the marina,
north between the two light-
houses, or south towards
Stone Port. Good depths to
try would be from 55 to 120feet.
Rockport: Anglers are find-
ing fish off Stoneport, False
Presque Isle and Middle
Island. Walleye and small-
mouth bass are being caught
while trolling crawler har-
nesses and crank baits. A few
channel catfish have been
caught trolling with crawler
harnesses. Steelhead and
lake trout were caught while
trolling with crank baits and
spoons.
Alpena: Smallmouth bass
and rock bass are being
caught in the Thunder Bay
River using night crawlers,
leeches, and spinners. Mill
Island, the marina, and near
2nd Street Bridge are good
areas. Those going out in
boats into Thunder Bay are
finding walleye near Sulphur
Island, Thunder Bay Island
and south of Scarecrow
Island. Anglers trolling with
crawler harnesses and crank
baits had success.
Harrisville: Fishing is start-
ing to pick up in Harrisville.
Lake trout are moving in
closer being caught in 80 to
100 feet of water from the
bottom to half way up thewater column. Anglers are
fishing darker colors includ-
ing, black and purple and
black and red. Spoons, spin
and glows, dodgers and
flashers are all working well.
Steelhead and salmon are in
60 to 80 feet of water. Lead
core, copper and planner
boards in orange, green and
silver combinations are
working.
Oscoda: Early morning
and late evening have been
the best times for fishing off
the pier. Lake trout have
been in 80 to 120 feet of
water and mainly on the bot-
tom. Steelhead are in 70 to 90
feet of water and about 65
feet down with dipseys and
lead core working well.
Salmon are south of the river
toward Au Sable Point in 70
to 90 feet of water. Look for
water temps in the 50 degree
range.
Au Sable River: Fishing is
starting to pick up with the
rain and water turning over.
Catfish, walleye and small-
mouth bass have been com-
ing in. Crawlers, minnows
and body baits have worked
best.
Higgins Lake: The rock
bass are still plentiful this
week. Anglers are using min-
nows and night crawlers.
Trollers fishing for lake trout
are using body baits and
spoons with cowbells. Many
anglers are jigging for lake
trout and whitefish usingSwedish pimples, heavier
type spoons and sandkickers.
Smallmouth bass are still
being found around Treasure
Island.
Houghton Lake: Cooler
weather conditio ns have
been keeping anglers away.
Anglers that are out on the
water are catching walleye in
10 feet of water using
crawlers and leeches. Bluegill
and perch are being fished
along the weed beds in eight
to 12 feet of water.
Northwest LowerPeninsula Fishing
ReportHarbor Springs: The fish
catch was picking up despite
all the wind. Some salmon
were taken near Harbor Point
past the buoy, although more
success was had with lake
trout over there. A few
salmon were caught in 170
feet of water.
Petoskey: Wind conditions
have kept the boats away
most of the week. Salmon
fishing should improve this
week because of cooler con-
ditions. A few lake trout were
taken around Bay Harbor in
120 feet of water on spoons.
Bear River: Anglers are
picking up a few salmon near
the dam. Effort is really pick-
ing up (especially early
mornings) with spawn bags
and flies.
Charlevoix: Not manyboats out during the begin-
ning of the week because of
wind although all the wind
did cool the water tempera-
tures. Early in the week fish
were caught at North Point in
100 feet of water but salmon
caught at the end of the week
were south of the pier with
success coming 35 to 65 feet
down, in 90 to 140 feet of
water. Green and white and
glow spoons were working.
Some lake trout were also
taken by anglers targeting
salmon in the same areas.
Boats traveling south to
Cathead Bay also had moder-
ate salmon and steelhead
success. A few large small-
mouths were taken on leech-
es off the pier, but most were
sub-legal. Walleye has been a
bit slow but are still around
and hitting on crawlers.
Traverse City: Boats are
bringing in a mixed catch of
Chinook salmon and lake
trout. Anglers had success
jigging for lake trout at
depths around 80 to 100 feet.
Salmon have been caught
running gear at depths vary-
ing between 50 to 110 feet
down. Try spoons, flies, ormeat rigs for the salmon.
Smallmouth bass fishing has
slowed down.
Elk River: Fishing has been
relatively slow. A few small-
mouth bass and rock bass
have been caught using live
baits.
Boardman River: Fishing
has been slow. Anglers are
catching rock bass and a few
modest sized smallmouth
bass using live baits.
Upper Peninsula
Fishing ReportSt. Mary's River: Walleye
have slowed down at Raber
Bay but a few fish can still be
caught in the early morning
and late evening hours
trolling purple crawler har-
nesses along weed beds
between the Lime Island
Dock, and back to the Raber
Boat launch. Walleye in the17 to 19 inch class are being
caught just southeast of
Kemps Pointe at Moon Island
off weed beds trolling bottom
bouncers with chartreuse
and white crawler harnesses
in the early morning hours.
Detour: Lake trout and
Chinook salmon are still
being caught at the Detour
Reef trolling green and
chrome Herringbone spoons
just south of the Drummond
Island Stone Quarry
Freighter Dock. Anglers were
trolling in 80 to 90 feet of
water 58 to 65 feet down. A
few catches of Pink salmon
are now being reported
trolling just below the
Drummond Island Ferry
Boat lane south to the Detour
Lighthouse. The Atlantic
salmon bite at Detour has
slowed down this week as the
Atlantics have begun to leave
Detour and move north to
the Rapids in Sault Ste.
Marie.
Cedarville and Hessel:
Perch fishing has picked up
around the Les Cheneaux
Islands. Anglers were har-
vesting perch and small-
mouth bass at the east end of
Hessel Bay, Snows Channel,
Musky Bay, Middle Entrance
and Moscoe Channel.
Anglers are also targeti ng
northern pike while still-fish-
ing with chubs. Government
Bay is producing excellent
pike results.
St. Ignace: Anglers were
fishing salmon from the
Coast Guard north past the
old fuel tanks and off
Mackinac Island in waters
from 60 to 70 feet down.

INDIAN RIVER Inland
Lakes head coach Stan
Schramm admits to a little
trepidation. And some
excitement, too.
The Bulldogs are facing a
dramatic shift in their sched-
ule this season, thanks to the
changes that have taken
place in the Ski Valley. Inland
Lakes and Pellston find
themselves in the Ski Valley
North Division with league
newcomers St. Ignace,Rudyard, Pickford and
Rogers City.
The Bulldogs will be seek-
ing to turn around last years
4-5 record (3-4 in the league)
and return to the playoffs for
the second time in
Schramms four years at the
helm of the program.
Schramm knows itll be a
battle but he welcomes it.
Its tough; were excited
about it and nervous about
it, Schramm said. St. Ignace
brings back a ton of kids.
Rudyard is always tough and
Pickfords been tough the
past few years. But if you
want to be good to have to
play good teams.
St. Ignace appears to be
the team to beat in the Ski
Valley North. The Saints are
coming off a 12-1 season,
advancing all the way to theDiv. 8 semifinals before los-
ing to Fowler. Rudyard fin-
ished 7-4 a year ago and was
a Div. 8 district finalist.
Pickford finished 5-4 and
Rogers City (0-9) was winless.
Schramm doesnt have
great numbers with 21 on the
varsity but he has a decent
amount of returnees, even
with the loss of senior start-
ing linemen Doug Morse and
Dustin Cochran, who both
moved away during the sum-
mer.
The good news is that
fighting fullback Shane
Bacon (5-8, 165) and half-
backs Cody Bonilla (5-10,
170) and Jordyn Smeltzer (5-
10, 170) all return to the
backfield. Bacon sizzles as a
north-south threat from the
fullback post but opponents
cant key on him becauseBonilla and Smeltzer are
both burners who can turn
an off-tackle trap into a long
touchdown sprint. All three
seniors have excellent speed
and gained more than 600
yards last year. Junior Trevor
Mallory (6-0, 190), a hard-
nosed downhill runner who
isnt averse to knocking over
would-be tacklers if he cant
evade them, adds quality
depth. Fellow junior C.J.
Ogden (5-10, 175) from
Wolverine also has wheels
and likes to plow a downhill
path, also brings solid depth
to the full-house backfield.
Junior Todd Aghey (6-3,
175), who is tall and very ath-
letic, takes over at quarter-
back after calling signals at
the JV level the past two sea-
sons. Schramm likes Agheys
agility, height and his abilityto put the ball in the air.
Were still run-oriented
but we wont be afraid to
spread it out a little bit either
with Todd in there,
Schramm said. Well take
what the defense gives us. If
the defense is going to put
eight in box, we believe can
take advantage of it this year
and get the ball vertical down
field on them.
Three-year starter Sean
Mister Blood Boughner (6-
2, 270), who is about as tough
as raw steak, is back at center
to anchor the line.
Sophomore Stan Schramm
(5-8, 170) and strong-armed
junior Nick Parker (5-11, 175)
return at guard while sand-
paper-tough senior Nick
Murray (5-10, 185) returns at
one tackle and junior Chase
Bunker (6-1, 290) is a physi-cal presence at the other
tackle slot.
Seniors Austin Jensen (6-3,
180) and Nick Howrey (6-1,
165) return at tight end for
the Bulldogs.
Linebacking is the strength
of the Bulldogs defensively in
their 4-4 scheme with
Mallory, Bacon and Smeltzer
all returning for a unit that is
mobile and moves to the ball
with effic iency and force.
Blood Boughner and
Murray are back on the line
and the scrappy Schramm is
back at defensive end along
with Parker.
Bonilla returns for his
third-year as lock-down cor-
nerback. The versatile Jensen
will see time at cornerback,
safety and outside line-
backer. Junior Triston Long(6-0, 150) is a newcomer in
the secondary with lots of
potential after making an
impact at the JV level.
The big thing is we want
to stop the run but we should
be versatile enough to stop
the pass, too, Schramm said.

Lamprey control planned for Pigeon and Little Pigeon rivers, Big Sucker Creek, and Wycamp Creek
OTSEGO COUNTY -- U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service per-
sonnel will apply lampricides
to the Pigeon and Little
Pigeon River systems in
Otsego and Cheboygan
Counties as well as Big
Sucker Creek and Wycamp
Creek in Emmet County to
kill sea lamprey larvae bur-
rowed in the stream bottom.
The applications will be con-
ducted between August 28
and September 6 in accor-
dance with State of Michigan
permits.
Tentatively, treatment of
the Pigeon River system will
begin on Friday August 31,the Little Pigeon River on
Sunday September 2, Big
Sucker Creek on September
3, and Wycamp Creek on
September 4. Applications
will be complete in about 48
hours. The application dates
are tentative and may be
changed based upon local
weather or stream conditions
near the time of treatment.
Sea lamprey larvae live in
certain Great Lakes tributar-
ies and transform to parasitic
adults that migrate to the
Great Lakes and kill fish.
Failure to kill the larvae in
streams would result in sig-nificant damage to the Great
Lakes fishery. Infested tribu-
taries must be treated every
three to five years with lamp-
ricides to control sea lamprey
populations.
The U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency and
Health Canada Pest
Management Regulatory
Agency have reviewed
human health and environ-
mental safety data for lamp-
ricides and in 2003, conclud-
ed that the lampricides
(Lampricide and Bayluscide)
pose no unreasonable risk to
the general population and
the environment when
applied at concentrations
necessary to control larval
sea lampreys. However, as
with any pesticide, the public
is advised to use discretion
and minimize unnecessary
exposure.Lampricides are selectively
toxic to sea lampreys, but a
few fish, insect, and
broadleaf plants are sensi-
tive. Persons confining bait
fish or other organisms in
stream water are advised to
use an alternate water source
because lampricides may
cause mortality among
aquatic organisms stressed
by crowding and handling.
Agricultural irrigation must
be suspended for 24 hours,
during and following treat-
ment.
Extensive preparations are
required for a safe and effec-tive stream treatment. Prior
to treatment, personnel col-
lect data on stream water
chemistry and discharge. In
addition, they may conduct
on-site toxicity tests with
lampricides and stream flow
studies with dyes that cause
stream water to appear red or
green.
Lampricides are carefully
metered into the stream for
approximately 12 hours, and
continually analyzed at pre-
determined sites to assure
that proper concentrations
are maintained as the lamp-
ricides are carried down-
stream. Applicators are
trained and are certified by
Michigan regulatory agen-
cies for aquatic applications
of pesticides.
The program is contracted
through the Great Lakes
Fishery Commission to theU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and Department of Fisheries
and Oceans Canada. The
Commission initiated chemi-
cal control of sea lampreys in
1958. Since that time the
highly successful program
has contributed significantly
to the maintenance of the $7
billion Great Lakes sport and
commercial fisheries.
Without continued control
efforts these fisheries again
would be in jeopardy.
Treatment of these streams
will destroy thousands of lar-
val sea lampreys including
many that would be expectedto transform and migrate to
Lake Huron to begin their
parasitic life cycle. Each lam-
prey in the lakes consumes
upwards of 40 pounds of lake
trout and salmon during its
parasitic life.
The Commission is com-
mitted to delivering a sea
lamprey control program
that practices good environ-
mental stewardship. To sup-
port the continued safe use
of lampricides the
Commission recently con-
ducted a series of studies at a
total cost of $6 million to
assess the effects of the lam-
pricides on human health
and the environment. In
addition to these studies the
Commission has implement-
ed a research program to
develop alternative control
techniques. The Commission
also is developing a strategy
to increase the number of
barriers on lamprey-produc-
ing streams, and is conduct-
ing research into barrier
design, traps, attractants,
and biological controls.

lamprey control is available

Marquette or Ludington
Biological Stations through

Service at 1-800-649-3777.
The mission of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service is work-
ing with others to conserve,
protect and enhance fish,
wildlife, plants and their
habitats for the continuing
benefit of the American peo-
ple. We are both a leader and

MANISTIQUE -- Governor
Rick Snyder and Department
of Natural Resources
Director Keith Creagh recent-
ly announced the state will
become an important part-
ner in a collaborative effort toconstruct a new sea lamprey
barrier in Manistique on the
Manistique River.
The existing dam, owned
by Manistique Papers, Inc.,
once served as an impedi-
ment to migrating sea lam-
preys and is now more than
100 years old and deteriorat-
ing. Sea lampreys now have
free access to the entire
Manistique River, a huge
watersh ed covering more
than 3,600 miles.
The new barrier will be
constructed by the U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers and
financed by the Great Lakes
Fishery Commission. The
Corps requires that a stable,
non-federal partner take
ownership of the sea lamprey
barrier and associated struc-
tures. The state will fulfill thatrole.
"Collaboration is key to
moving Michigan forward
and this local, state and
federal partnership is a
great example," Governor
Snyder said. "Working
together, we will help to
protect Michigan's pre-
cious water resources from
the damage caused by
invasive species while also
assisting the city of
Manistique with some of
its needs. I appreciate all of
the work that the partners
have done to find creative
solutions to these chal-lenges."
Sea lamprey numbers in
Lake Michigan have
increased dramatically in
recent years because of
access to the Manistique
River system. Each adult
sea lamprey consumes
more than 40 pounds of fish
during its lifetime. The
Manistique River now pro-
duces the highest number of
sea lamprey of any Lake
Michigan tributary and is
one of the highest producers
in the entire Great Lakes
basin.
"Driven by instinct to
reproduce in the streams of
the watershed where their
larvae grow into ravenous
parasites attacking fish
species like lake trout,
salmon, and whitefish, sea
lamprey relentlessly destroy
these fish and the economy
they support," said Great
Lakes Fishery Commission
Executive Secretary Dr.
Christopher Goddard.
"Vision, determination,
cooperation, and courage
among committed partnersare crucial to successful
transformation of the deteri-
orated dam into a new and
powerful tool in the ongoing
war against sea lamprey."
At an estimate d cost of
nearly $750,000 to treat and
kill sea lampreys every two
years in the river, this project
will produce significant cost
savings over time and allow
other critical stream treat-
ments to occur for the con-
trol of sea lamprey.
"Sea lampreys and other
invasive species remain a
serious threat to the ecology
of the Great Lakes and to
local economies," said DNR
Director Creagh. "This part-
nership marks a significant
step forward in addressing
one piece of that problem
and does so in a way that
benefits the local community
and the state. I couldn't be
more pleased."
In addition to Great Lakes
fishery benefits, this project
will also replace an aging
water line critical to the City
of Manistique and upgradethe city's flood control wall.
Manistique Papers, Inc.
will also benefit from this
work by having much of the
aging dam and associated
infrastructure removed, thus
providing benefits to the
company's operations.

brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and
be glorified, just as it did also with you; 2 and that we will be rescued
from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith. 3 But the Lord is faith-ful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
TUESDAY: Psalm 50:15 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 15 Call upon Me in the
day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.
WEDNESDAY: Psalm 91:15 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 15 He will call
upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will res-
cue him and honor him.

I guess I don't hit the panic button
quickly. I consider the options
and go with the best one.Karl Kowalewsky, Rogers City
My faith in Chris and knowing God
is in control.Ila Jarman, Cheboygan
I try not to think about how hard it
is because it could be worse. I
look for the next day because
each day is going to be different.Kyon Sparks, Petoskey
Knowing that even if it is bad, it is
going to get better. You have to
look for the positive things in
life.Katie Capps Petoskey
The support I get from my family
and the strong community we
have here in Northern Michigan.Wesley Hemstreet, Petoskey
They say that bad things come in threes. When you are on the ropes reeling from the punches what do you do to
get back on your feet? When you get the phone call that a love one is in an ambulance headed for the hospital and
you go to the hospital and you dont know what is going to happen for days or open face book and see someone hon-
oring the memory of a loved one you are close to with a R.I.P. and you dont know they passed, or get the news that
a relative has died how do you deal with the shock and concern and perhaps even fear that rocks your world and
comes in to steal your joy, peace or confidence that everything is ok in your world? How do you hold it together when
bad news and sadness hits and knocks the air out of your sails? Do you have to hold it together? I dont believe you
do. Jesus said in Matthew 28:11, Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
These things happen everyday. Jesus also said in John 16:33, These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me
you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.
It shouldnt surprise us then, but when it happens often times we are blown away. We dont focus on these things
because while we might expect them to happen to other people, often times we act like if we ignore it, it wont hap-pen to us. Jesus also said in Matthew 5:45, for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain
on the righteous and the unrighteous. No one is exempt, so when your world turns bleak and dark how do you hold
it together?
In the past two months I have taken a couple of hits that knocked me for a loop. When the first incident happened
I wasnt ready and I took a hard hit. It was hard to see someone I love going through the deep weeds. Fortunately I
had friends I could call and talk to. More importantly however, I had comfort knowing that God was in control and
I could give it over to Him. When the news of the deaths came there was great comfort in knowing that again God
was in control. Paul put it this way in 2 Corinthians 5:7-8, for we walk by faith, not by sight, we are of good
courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. I also took comfort
in knowing they had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and they were at that moment with Him and that one
day I will get to see them again.
If a tragedy has come your way and rocked your world, then may I encourage you to seek out the God of all com-
fort. He cares for you and those you care about. Hes ready to help you through this,: you dont have to face the
storm alone. If you need help, if you need someone to help make sense of what you are facing, the churches at the
bottom of this page are willing and ready to step in and help. If these churches are not close to you seek out one in
your community.

Automotive Review
Photo coPyRight FoRD motoR comPany
The new 2013 Ford Taurus is launched in Portland, Oregon as media have the first opportunity to drive the new
product. The 2013 Ford Taurus is even more refined for the 2013 model year - with better fuel economy, moretechnology, enhanced design, improved craftsmanship and sharpened driving dynamics.
EPA-Certified at Class-Leading 32 MPGwith New 2.0-Liter EcoBoost Engine
The 2013 Ford Taurus, the Blue Ovals technology and
performance flagship sedan, is now certified by the E PAas the class leader in large sedan city and highway fuel
economy. The Taurus new 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-
cylinder engine is certified at 32 mpg highway better
than the 2012 Chrysler 300, Chevrolet Impala, Dodge
Charger and Toyota Avalon.
The all-new Taurus demonstrates fuel economy isnt
limited to compact car sizes. All three engine options for
the 2013 model have now been certified at 25 mpg or
higher in EPA highway estimates.
Ford understands people want fuel-efficient vehicles
but dont want to sacrifice power, cargo space or conven-
ience preferences to get them, said Raj Nair, group vice
president, Global Product Development. Taurus fuel
economy showcases Fords success in developing smaller
yet more powerful engines for its larger vehicles.
Taurus offers comfort, convenience and technology
comparable to premium German sport sedans, while
beating their diesel and hybrid variants for fuel econo-
my. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost helps Taurus deliver a 26-mpg
combined EPA rating, higher than Mercedes-Benz E350
Bluetec diesel and Porsche Panamera S Hybrid.
Compared to smaller vehicles, Taurus 2.0-liter bests V6
models of Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, with compa-
rable power. The Taurus base 3.5-liter V6 engine also has
been updated for 2013 with twin independent variable
camshaft timing (Ti-VCT), adding 25 horsepower plus 1
mpg city and 2 mpg highway in EPA estimates com-
pared to the previous Taurus base V6. The 2013 Taurus
SHO (Super High Output) high-performance sport sedan
continues to feature a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine pro-
ducing 365 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque, whilestill delivering 25 mpg on the highway.
EcoBoost engines are fundamental to Fords strategy of
providing technologically advanced, high-output, small-
er-displacement powertrains that deliver exceptional
fuel economy and uncompromised performance for mil-
lions of drivers around the world. The 2013 Taurus
demonstrates to consumers there is no need to trade
power, performance, comfort or convenience to achieve
savings at the gas pump.
Each Taurus powertrain features additional technolo-
gies to help conserve fuel, such as:
- Low-tension front-end accessory drive belt
- Smart battery management
- Aggressive deceleration fuel shutoff
- Variable-displacement air conditioning compressor
- Reduced friction lubricants
- Electric power-assisted steering (EPAS)
All new Taurus models now come with EPAS, helping
improve steering response by rigidly mounting the steer-
ing rack to the subframe. The EPAS system allows for a
high degree of tuning by Ford vehicle dynamics engi-
neers to optimize steering feel, plus it saves fuel and pro-
vides drivers with enhanced feedback.
Additionally, fuel economy in the 2013 Taurus is
enhanced by a class-exclusive Active Grille Shutter
System. Positioned between the grille opening and radia-
tor, the shutters are controlled by the engines control
module. Shutter slats automatically open and close to
maintain the ideal operating temperatures and optimize
vehicle aerodynamics.
The 2013 Taurus range is built at Fords Chicago
Assembly facility and will begin arriving in dealerships
later this summer.
