Top Choice Softball

In fifth year at helm, he guided Lady Ironmen tofirst district title in school history

By Mike Dunn

MANCELONA The

Mancelona softball team of

coach Richard Dickerson did

something this season that

had never been done before.

The Lady Ironmen captured

the first district champi-

onship in school history.

Dickerson, in his fifth year

at the helm of the program,guided his team to a 25-8

record and a runner-up fin-

ish in the rugged Ski Valley in

addition to a berth in the

Division 3 regional tourna-

ment.

For his efforts, Dickerson

was named the Top Choice

2012 Coach of the Year. The

rest of the 2012 coaching staff

includes Jodi Brewbaker of

Onaway and Mike Barber of

Cheboygan.

I was very proud of what

we did this year, very proud

of my coaching staff and very

proud of the girls, saidDickerson, a retired GM

worker who moved to the

Mancelona area with his wife

after retiring in 2000. The

girls earned it this year.

Nothing was given to them;

they earned everything they

got.

Junior hurler Kallie Derrer

had another sensational sea-

son in her third year as the

Mancelona starter, accumu-

lating a whopping 216 strike-

outs while earning All-

Conference, All-District and

All-Region recognition. Kallie

is also a member of the 2012

All-Area Dream Team along

with sweet-swinging sopho-

more shortstop Dakota

Derrer, who established a

state record for triples this

season.

Senior catcher Ashley

Derrer and senior third base-

man Meike Scaggs were sec-

ond team All-Area selections

while senior outfie lders

Miranda Boucard and Karyn

Vanderploeg were honorablemention.

Dickerson believed his

team had the mettle and the

talent to have a successful

campaign in 2012.

When we first started the

season, I told the kids not to

worry about how many

games we were going to win;

just play one game at a time,

Dickerson said. Dont worry

about next week; just play

this game right here.

Everything else will take care

of itself.

Mancelona actually got off

to a rough start, losing a pairof games to perennial confer-

ence champion Onaway. But

the Ironmen bounced back

quickly from those early set-

backs and started on a jour-

ney that would take them to a

level in the playoffs they

never reached before.

Our goal was to win the

conference and the district,

he said. Then we started the

season getting beat up by

Onaway in the first two

games. It was tough. I told

the kids to keep believing in

themselves and lets improve

with each game. The girls

responded. They shook it off

and you could see them

working toward that goal.

Dickerson and assistant

coaches Tim Wilks and Dave

Derrer encouraged the girls

that they could compete with

anybody.

We told them its up to

you, Dickers on said. We

dropped a couple games we

should have won but they

didnt bow their heads. Thatsone thing that really

impressed me. The girls

always came back that much

harder after a loss.

The performance of Kallie

from the pitching circle was a

big factor.

That young lady is always

wanting to improve every

time she goes out there,

Dickerson said. She wants to

improve herself at all levels.

She was the main plug for us

this year. She showed a lot of

poise. She never got rattled.

Without her on the mound,

we wouldnt have done near-ly as well.

Dickerson also noted the

way slugging senior catcher

Ashley Derrer exhibited lead-

ership and how her work

behind the plate helped

Kallie game in and game out.

The coach is also

impressed with Dakota

Derrers knowledge of soft-

ball at this point in her young

prep career. Shes already

very good, he said, but shes

going to be even better as she

grows and gains experience.

The biggest thrill of the

season was winning the dis-

trict title at East Jordan. The

Ironmen defeated Charlevoix

3-0 in the semifinals and

then edged Boyne City 2-1 in

the finals.

It was what we worked

toward all year, Dickerson

said. I told the girls they

were beatable. If you go out

there and perform the way

youre capable of, well win.

Kallie pitched a pair of great

games. All the girls executedthe plays.

It was a tremendous feel-

ing. It was the first district in

softball for the school. The

last four or five seasons, we

had a good amount of suc-

cess but we never won dis-

tricts before and now we did.

It was great for the girls, for

the parents and for the whole

community.

Mancelona faced Traverse

City St. Francis in the region-

al tournament at Charlevoix

and lost a 4-3 heartbreaker.

We showed up and played

well, he said. I told the girlsjust to go out and play hard

and have fun. When the

games over with, if youre on

top, thats fine. If not, dont

hang your head. I dont care if

we lose as long as we do our

best.

Dickerson said playing in

the regional tournament was

a great experience and one

he wants to see the girls build

on for next year.

They know what it takes

now to get to that level, he

said.

Dickerson will miss seniors

Miranda Boucard, Kaitlyn

Bielecki, Meike Scaggs, Karen

Vanderploeg and Ashley

Derrer and wishes them well

in their future endeavors.

Those seniors con-

tributed a lot, he said. Well

definitely miss them but we

have some good potential

coming up through the JV.

Were going to be all right

next year.

Richard Dickerson guided Mancelona to 25 wins thisseason and the first district title in school history.

By Mike Dunn

GAYLORD Three players

from the Johannesburg-

Lewiston baseball team were

named to the first team All-

State roster in Division 4 by

the Michigan High School

Baseball Coaches

Association.

Seniors Gunnar Owens,

Brian VanCoillie and Brett

Kortman all made the grade

after playing key roles in

helping the Cardinals of Hall

of Fame Coach Rick Guild

earn a school-record 32 wins

and advance to the regional

semifinals.

Senior Craig Conway andjunior Wyatt Derrer of

Mancelona were second

team picks in Div. 3 and sen-

ior Tod Rondo of Mio was

second team in Div. 4.

Owens was chosen as a

pitcher but he was also oneof the top catchers in north-

ern Michigan this season.

The hard-throwing right-

hander was 12-1 for the

Cardinals with 101 strikeouts

and just 22 walks in 78 1-3

innings. He posted a minis-

cule 0.92 ERA and also had

two saves.

Owens also played smash

and crash with the bat in his

hands, posting a .432 average

with 38 RBIs to go with 30

runs and a whopping 30

steals.

VanCoillie played center

field and pitched for J-L and

Kortman was chosen as aninfielder. VanCoillie and

Kortman both batted above

.500 for the season.

VanCoillie cranked out a .517

average with 62 steals and 40

RBIs and was one of the top

defensive outfielders in thestate. Kortman crushed the

ball all season, earning a .530

average with 52 steals to go

with 44 RBIs and an amazing

48 runs scored.

Conway, the Weekly

Choice Player of the Year in

baseball, posted a 14-2

record on the hill for the

Ironmen with a 1.79 ERA and

118 strikeouts. He also

slugged the ball with author-

ity and consistency, earning a

.443 average with 34 RBIs and

27 runs scored while helping

the Ironmen to repeat as Ski

Valley, district and regional

champs and to make theirfirst appearance in the Final

Four at Battle Creek.

Derrer was a like Death

Valley out in center field for

opposing hitters this season,

using his speed to track down

enemy fly balls. Derrer alsodrilled the ball, hitting above

.400 and stealing everything

on the base paths than wasnt

pinned down. Derrer also

delivered clutch hits

throughout the season,

including the two-out RBI

double that tied the quarter-

final game against Newaygo

1-1 in the sixth.

Rondo, the rocking right-

hander for the Thunderbolts,

earned his spot on the All-

State roster as an infielder

but he was also the ace of the

Mio staff, posting a 13-3

record with a 0.67 ERA and

five shutouts. He generated

118 Ks and 15 walks. He also

batted .484 with 21 RBIs and

28 runs scored.

GAYLORD Gaylord senior

Alex Dombrowski was select-ed to be a member of the

prestigious Super Team in

golf for 2012. Dombrowski

had a phenomenal senior

campaign, finishing in first or

tied for first in seven of 15

tournaments in addition to

being second four times and

twice coming in third.

He was a returning first-

team All-State player for the

Blue Devils of coach Tom

Johnson.

For Alex to be selected to

the Super Team is a true cred-it to how special this past

season has been for him,

Johnson said.

The Super Team features

the top 9 in the state from all

divisions. The Super Team

also includes the 2012 Mr.

Golf, junior Sam Whitehead

of Grand Rapids West

Catholic.

Alex also made the

Academic All-State team. His

combined ACT score and

GPA placed him 11th among

all seniors in the state.The Gaylord team just

missed out on Academic All-

State. The Blue Devils needed

a GPA average of 3.5 for the

athletes who went to the

regional tournament. Those

five players senior Alex

Dombrowski, junior Anthony

Tomaski, junior Nick Fennell,

freshman Cam Laug and

freshman Mike Misiak fell

just short with a 3.47 GPA.

It shows that the boys

understand the big picture,

Johnson said.

GAYLORD -- As residents

and out-of-state visitors pre-pare to camp, bike and hikethroughout Michigan overthe Fourth of July holiday

season, Department ofNatural Resources officialswarn that wildfire danger will

vary greatly in different areasof the state and urge cautionand common sense, accord-ingly, with fireworks and

campfires.Summer heat and incon-

sistent rainfall in the pastmonth have pushed parts of

Michigan into emergingdrought conditions in thesouth, while portions of thenorthern regions have

received some beneficialmoisture - temporarily mod-erating what has alreadybeen a severe fire season.

So far this year, the DNRhas responded to 339 firesthat have burned a total of

23,122 acres - including therecent 21,069-acre Duck LakeFire in the eastern UpperPeninsula.

"Anytime the weather isconsistently hot and dry dur-ing a holiday period, there isa potential for wildfires," said

Bill O'Neill, acting chief ofthe DNR's Forest ResourcesDivision. "With so many visi-tors in the woodlands and

campgrounds, the chances ofa wildfire igniting greatlyincrease."

Forecasts from the

National Weather Serviceback up the DNR's concerns.

Although a slight cold front is

expected to move throughThursday night into Fridaymorning, with a chance ofstorms, the coverage and

amounts will be quite limit-ed. At this time, the NationalWeather Service does not see

a significant chance of bene-ficial rains through the next10 days in Michigan.

The DNR's O'Neill urged

Michigan citizens and visi-tors to be extremely careful

when handling fireworks andoutdoor fires. He offered the

following reminders:* Remember that con-

sumer fireworks that explodeor fly into the air, when

improperly used, are thecause of many wildfires each

year. These types of fireworkscan now be purchased in

Michigan.* Be aware that fireworkswill easily ignite grass or

wooded areas and shouldonly be lit in areas free of veg-etation.

* Understand that setting

off fireworks on public prop-erty is prohibited withoutproper authorization.

* Keep campfires small and

do not leave them unattend-ed at any time, for any rea-son.

* Be certain all fires and

barbeques are completelyextinguished. Use plenty of

water, stir and add morewater until everything is wet

and no steam is produced.* Turn over unburned

pieces of wood left in a fire

pit and wet the underside.

* Soak unburned pieces of

BBQ charcoal in a bucket ofwater before dispos ing of

them.

* Do not simply cover a

campfire with soil. This is aninadequate way to put a fire

out, disguises the heat smol-

dering beneath and often

becomes a hazard for anyonethat may accidentally step in

the coals.

"We are heading into our

toughest season, with pro-longed periods of very warm

to hot temperatures and

minimal rainfall," said

O'Neill. "I am asking every-one who plans to be out-

doors enjoying our beautiful

state this summer to be vigi-

lant about protecting it, too.

Be smart, be safe and, please,be caretakers of Michigan's

outdoor spaces."Those interested in check-

ing on the status of dry con-ditions in Michigan andother parts of the countrycan check the National

Drought Mitigation Center'sdrought monitor website athttp://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/.

I was so happy for

Megan; shes definitely

deserving of that, Emmy

said. I give her a lot of

credit. Its pretty awesome.

Emmy, the daughter of

Dean and Joey Estep of

Onaway, is already looking

forward to her senior year.

In some ways, itll be a

rebuilding year because welost a lot of good players

and super leaders to gradu-

ation, she said. The girls

all know we have some

shoes to fill but we also

know were very capable of

making another run.

Looking beyond her sen-

ior year, Emmy is anticipat-

ing the wonderful chal-

lenge of playing college

ball. She is gaining looks

from different colleges but

its too early in the game to

determine where she might

be going. She had a lot of

exposure in the annual

Compuware Tournament

in early June and a number

of coaches and scouts got

to see her stuff.

Ill have to wait and see

whats out there and wherethe best offers are, she

said.

This summer, she is play-

ing on the 18U travel team

of the Vulcans where she

will have the chance to

hone her game against out-

standing competition

throughout the state and

gain even more exposure.

Attention to

When Buyinga Home

Compliments of Ed Wohlfiel

You may save money in the

long run

Looking for a new home can be

exciting and frustrating. You can

help alleviate the frustration by

paying close attention to five key

areas of the homes you're con-

sidering buying; it may save you

money in the long run.

Don Walker is an inspector and

owner of Ace Home Inspections.

He says there are five areas in

homes that he frequently reports

problems with. They are electri-

cal, foundation, plumbing, the

attic, and landscaping.

Tip # 4 - Attic

"You can tell everything about

the house by the attic," says

Walker. He says other areas of the

home can be covered up if a

repair had occurred. For

instance, if there was a leak and it

damaged a wall, with the right

contractors and repairs it can be

made to look like new and, hope-

fully, function like new. ButWalker says the attic is sort of the

eyes to the soul of the home. "In

the attic you can tell where all the

damage has been," says Walker.

"If you're in a 20-year-old

house and you see that the insu-

lation is brand new, you know

that there was a water leak

because it had to be replaced,"

says Walker. He adds, "You can

tell if the roof is good because

you can look right at the wood."
