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.

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

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

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

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

PERSPECTIVE

Tim HolcombDirects Background Partners,

an international churchplanting ministry.www.bground.org

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

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.
