JOHANNESBURG The
three-time defending Ski
Valley champions paid a visit
to Johannesburg-Lewiston
High School on Friday.
Mancelona departed with its
first victory in defense of this
years title, a hard-fought 28-
6 decision over the young,
speedy Cardinals of coach
Joe Smokevitch.
The Ironmen of coach Dan
Boo Derrer had started the
season with losses to quality
non-league foes Elk Rapids
and St. Ignace and now they
were facing one of the top
contenders to the Ski Valley
South title this year in
Johannesburg in what
amounted to a must-win
game. The determined
Cardinals were coming off
an inspiring non-league vic-
tory on the road over rugged
Inland Lakes.
Mancelona brought a 21-
game league winning streak
into the clash. The young,
talented Cardinals broughtthe hopes of upending the
champs with them onto
their sidelines.
Derrer didnt mince words
with his team before the
game. He told his players flat
out they had to win to have
any hope of achieving the
goals they had set for this
season.

Fall is the best time of year to enjoy the amazing,
appetizing, affordable apple here in Northern
Michigan. An astounding number of apple vari-
eties are ripening and ready to shine up during
September and October, and there is nothing quite
like the crack, crunch and flood of flavor
unleashed when biting into a fresh, Michigan-
grown apple in the prime of the autumn season.
Sweet or tangy, soft or crisp, red, green, yellow or
burgundy, apple species cover a wide variety of
textures, tastes, colors, sizes and optimal applica-
tions, but they have one thing in common; they
are very good and very good for you.
That old apple a day keeps the doc away adagemay have more than a seed of truth to it. Apples
are rich in antioxidants; chemicals that can reduce
cell and tissue damage. They have Flavonoids, which
are antiviral, anti-allergen, anti-inflammatory and
anti-tumor phytochemicals.
Apples also contain Quercetin, which is also found in
onions and black tea. These combat destructive free radicals
in the body, helping to reduce the risk of cancer, heart attack,
cataracts, control asthma, gout and even aid in reducing
heartburn.
Once they are out of the shopping bag, apples are ready for
all kinds of delectable presentations. Apple pie, apple
strudel, apple crisp, apple sauce, apple butter, apple cider,
apple cobbler, candy apples, caramel apples, apple fritters,
apple muffins, or simply apples in the rawhow can some-
thing so good for you be so good to eat?
Regardless of which fall-fresh apple variety is destined for
your pantry (or crisper drawer), be sure to get plenty of
them. It takes about two pounds to make a 9-inch pie, a peck
weighs about ten and a half pounds (about five pies per
peck), and a bushel weighs around 42 pounds and can pro-
duce up to twenty-four quarts of applesauce. If you make
cider, plan on using about 36 apples for every gallon you
wish to produce.
- Apples are a member of the rose family
- Apples can be grown farther north than most fruits
because they blossom late in the spring, minimizing the
chance for frost damage
- China produces more apples annually than the United
States
- Apples ripen ten times faster at room temperature than
they do when refrigerated. Optimal conditions; 35 40
degrees with 80 90 percent humidity.
- Most of the fiber and antioxidants are found in the apples
peel.
- As the third largest apple producer in the nation,
Michigan accounts for 8-percent of production, while
Washington State produces 58-percent.
- Per capita consumption of fresh apples in the U.S. fell
from 21 pounds in 1998 to 16.9 pounds in 2005
- Red Delicious is the most widely grown variety in the U.S.
- Apples were introduced in America by European settlers
bringing seeds here in the 1600s (Go, Johnny Go).
- The apple blossom is official state f lower of both
Michigan and Arkansas.
- Apples float because 25-percent of their volume is air.
And dont forget to keep a few spares around, after all, and
apple a day

Theres nothing better than biting into a crunchy, newly picked Honeycrisp apple, or the
smell of a freshly baked apple pie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

caramel or cinnamon.

It was a big game for us; we couldnt
afford to go 0-3, Derrer said. I told the kids
it was a must win. We had to go over there
and play better than we had in the first two
games and take care of business.
We knew it would be tough, he added.
Joburg is always physical and well-coachedand they make us work f or our points. But
we had a good week of practice and I
thought we were ready to play.
In the end, Mancelona was able to do
what it does best and that made the differ-
ence. The Ironmen established their running
game and employed the vaunted Ground-
and-Pound offense effectively, using the
time-munching, yard-chewing, chain-mov-
ing drives they are noted for to control the
clock and the tempo of the game.
The visitors held onto the ball for all but
30 seconds of the entire third quarter.
Strong-striding senior halfback Justin Spires
stomped, slashed and stampeded his way to
93 yards on 19 carries in the game and
scored on TD bursts of 3, 3, 3 and 7 yards to
account for all of his teams touchdowns.The electric legs of junior Chase Wilcox,
who split time between halfback and quar-
terback, carried him to 98 yards on 19 car-
ries, including some key first downs on
designed QB keepers, and he tallied two
points on a conversion sweep around end.
Fighting fullback Logan Borst employed
the Lo-Bo Bash to bust, bull and bash his
way to a team-high 107 yards on 14 tries,
including a conversion run.
The Cardinals scored the first points of the
game at the 6:36 mark of the first quarter
when shifty sophomore halfback Nick May
maneuvered his way across the goal line for
a 5-yard tally.
J-L battled hard from start to finish, as
they do every week, but struggled to sustain
drives after the initial score.
When the Cardinals are percolating, they
are able to use the running game in much
the same way as Mancelona, grinding outfirst downs in keeping control of the tempo
and the clock. It didnt happen on Friday,
though. The swarming Ironmen defense kept
the high-flying Cardinals in check and did
not permit any of the explosive plays that are
typically part of the J-L stat sheet.
Logan Huff was the leading ground gainer
for the Cardinals, recording 57 yards in 10
carries. Hard-nosed senior Dillon Cushman
crashed and slammed to 27 yards in nine
tries. The explosive May Day attack featuring
Nick and Ethan May was contained on this
night by the aggressive visitors.
Smokevitch, a straight shooter, made no
excuses afterward.
It was a tough game, he said.
Mancelona was more physical than we were
and wore us down. They had the ball a lotmore than us. Fumbles and penalties didnt
help our cause either. Now well look to
bounce back against Forest Area (this Friday
at home).
For his part, Derrer was particularly
pleased with his teams defensive effort.
Defensively, we played really well, Boo
said. We flowed to the ball really well and
did a great job shutting down their middle
trap.
Boo also credited the O-line with firing out
and opening gaps for Spires, Wilcox and
Borst to rumble through. The whole line
graded out well and Boo was particularly
pleased with the
strong, physical
play of tackle
Tristan Waters.The coach also
noted the effective
play of Wilcox at
halfback and at
quarterback, where
he split duties with
senior Jake
Winstead.
Hes not big but
hes really quick,
Derrer said. Hes a
jitterbug out there.
We put him in the
shotgun and he was
able to open some
things up for us.
Defensively for
Mancelona, inside
linebackers Luke
Smigielski and
Garrett Derrer cov-
ered the field like
fertilizer, combining
for 19 tackles.
Derrer also noted
the efforts of line-
men Tristen Fleet,
Brandon Willson,
Keegan Richardson,
Nick Bevins and
Nick Balhorn,
among others.
Defensively for J-
L, Dynamite Dan
Nieman exploded to
the ball, participat-
ing in a whopping
20 takedowns with a
tackle for loss.
Coalton Huff made
12 solo tackles with six assists and Cam
Nickert took part in 13 tackles. Ethan May
had a fumble recovery and was part of 12
stops. Relentless Nate Fox flew to the f ootball
on every snap, recording six solo tackles and
12 assists.
Mancelona (1-2, 1-0) plays host to Central
Lake this Friday in another critical league
showdown against a top contender. The
Trojans, behind the potent 1-2 backfieldpunch of Will Brockman and George Thayer,
rallied late to outscore host St. Mary 42-41 in
their game Friday.
They have some kids who can run and
their quarterback is a good runner too,
Derrer said. They come off the ball really
well and stay low. Fundamentally they look
very solid. This is a big rivalry game for us
and a conference game, too. We have to play
good defense to keep them from controlling
the clock. Our linemen have to keep low and
our linebacker and DBs have to come in and
fill the gaps.
Derrer expects the Trojans to load the box
when Mancelona has the ball.
We have to do our job and believe in each
other, he said. If we do that and follow our
blocking rules, we should be able to move
the ball. We have to come off the ball and
run hard like we did at Joburg.
J-L (1-2, 0-1) also has a critical league
game this Friday against Forest Area, which
may be the most improved team in the
league from a year ago.
After losing a close one at Pellston in week
one, the Warriors reversed lopsided losses to
non-league foe Manton and to SVC rival
Onaway in weeks two and three. The
Warriors boast a dangerous passing attack
with QB Austin Vance throwing to rangy 6-
foot-5 playmaker Justin Burke and 6-foot-7
Scott Sedwick. Vance (6-2, 205), who
switched from tight end to QB this season, is
a load when he runs the ball and sophomore
fullback Dion Burke is a hard-nosed battler.

All of the money raised from

1971 and has awarded grants to more than
40 different local youth organizations. The
Club has given more than $2 million to the

ing out in the working world, your most
immediate financial concerns may be to
pay off student loans and then, possibly,
save for a down payment on a house. To
address both these goals, youll need to
budget carefully. And yet, even at this
stage of your life, you should start think-
ing about saving for retirement because time is your biggest ally.
Consequently, if you work for an
employer who offers a retirement plan,
such as a 401(k), contribute what you
can afford. At the very least, put in
enough to earn your companys match-
ing contribution, if one is offered. You
may also want to open an Individual
Retirement Account (IRA).
Phase two: Gearing up for other goals
As you move through life, and possi-
bly begin a family, youll likely develop
other financial goals, such as helping
your children pay for college. You may
want to consider investing in a tax-
advantaged college savings vehicle,
such as a 529 plan. Also, its important tohave enough life insurance to protect
your young family.
Phase three: Ramping up for retire-
ment When you reach the mid-to-
later stages of your working life, you
may find you have more financial
resources available, as your earnings
may have increased significantly, your
children have grown and your mortgage
may even be paid off. If you are not
already doing so, max out, if possible,
on your 401(k) and IRA. And if you still
have money available to invest, you may
want to look for other tax-advantaged
retirement vehicles.Phase four: Reaping the rewards
Now its time to enjoy the results of your
lifetime of hard work and your many
years of saving and investing. You may
have to tap into your retirement
accounts, so youll need to choose a sus-
tainable annual withdrawal rate. The
amount you withdraw each year from
your IRA and 401(k) depends on a vari-
ety of factors: how much youve saved,
the lifestyle youve chosen, your esti-
mated longevity, how much you have
available from other sources, and so on.
Phase five: Examining your estate
plans During your retirement years, if
not sooner, youll
want to review
your estate plans
so that you can
leave the legacy
you desire. If you
have a need to cre-
ate or update your
legal documents,
such as a living
trust and durable
power of attorney,
you should con-
sider consulting a
qualified estate-
planning attorney.
Youll need to
make the appro-
priate financial
and investmentdecisions at many
different times
over the years.
This may sound
daunting, but with
diligence and dis-
cipline, you can
discover the paths to take as you move
through the seasons of your life.

Community ImpactMeasurement Surveyto be conducted in
PetoskeyPetoskey - The Northwest Michigan Community Action
Agency (NMCAA) is conducting a Residential Survey with
residents of Petoskey who live in the following geographic
area: Grand Ave/US-31 on the north, US-131 on the west,
Sheridan Road and Atkins Road on the south, and
Kalamazoo Ave on the east. The survey will be conducted
face-to face with residents, with NMCAA volunteers going
door to door to collect data.
The survey will assess: 1. The ph ysical and structural con-
ditions of homes and businesses; 2. Resident quality of life,
including safety and availability of services; and 3. the eco-
nomic impact of NMCAAs activit ies. NMCAA will use the
project data to see its impact on the area over a period of
time, such as its Emmet Street Corridor home improvement
project, financial management services and housing coun-seling, as well as to inform future revitalization projects such
as the Emmet Street clean-up project.
NMCAA is asking the residents of Petoskey for their partici-
pation. NMCAA is looking for volunteers to go door-to-door
to survey their fellow Petoskey neighbors. They are also look-
ing for local businesses to donate participation incentives
such as food, prizes, coupons, etc., for volunteers and sur-
veyed residents. A background check will be required for all
volunteers.
To register as a volunteer or to donate to this unique com-
munity-building effort, please contact Holly Curtis, CIM
Project Leader at Northwest Michigan Community Action
Agency; (231) 347-9070 Ext.1108 or e-mail [email protected]
On Monday September 30th Huron Pines will host the
Northeast Michigan Economic Roundtable from 10:00am to
3:30pm at the University Center in Gaylord. Generously
underwritten by DTE Energy, this event will bring together
conservation and economic leaders from across the region
to explore the link between our unique natural assets and
strong economic investment for our towns. As residents we
can easily point to a variety of cultural landmarks and out-
door activities to be experienced here, but what are the
experiences that resonate with visitors, enticing them to
stay longer and return time and time again? Traditionally an
unlikely role for a conservation organization to play, Huron
Pines sees an opportunity through the Kirtlands Warbler
Initiative to facilitate a discussion about how increased
investment in our communities and the health of our water,
forest and wildlife resources are deeply connected.
The day will kick off with a keynote address on how creat-
ing a regional identity ensures healthy systems and drives
capacity by Jon Allan, Director of the Office of the Great
Lakes while Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy Executive
Director, Zachary Branigan will lend a Michigan perspective
in his presentation about the recently developed Saginaw
Bay Birding Trail. Using points highlighted in each talk, par-
ticipants will be led through a series of interactive exercises
culminating in the creation of their own Pure Michigan
Moment. If you are someone with a keen interest in work-
ing collaboratively on the issues of tourism, conservation
and strong promotion of Northeast Michigan we are look-
ing for you to join the conversation on September 30th!

Located just far enough off the beaten
path to embrace a gorgeous, peaceful wood-
ed setting, yet only about ten minutes from
downtown Gaylord, Michaywe Inn the
Woods restaurant provides the perfect spot
to enjoy a delicious dining experience that is
both comfortably casual, and memorably
elegant.
The menu offers a moderately priced and
nicely varied selection of traditional
American cuisine, highlighted by freshly pre-
pared soups and salads, specialty sandwich-
es and burgers, house favorites including
New York Strip steak, hearty Beef Pot Roast,
Danish Baby Back Ribs, Lake Superior
Whitefish, Sole Picatta and more. The
restaurant also offers lighter fare, including
Homemade Pizzas and a selection of tastyappetizers such as Scallop Florentine, Garlic
Shrimp Bruschetta and Boneless Buffalo
Wings.
Chef John Kaye, who learned his culinary
craft at Oakland Community College and
apprenticed at the prestigious Orchard Lake
Country Club, oversees the kitchen at
Michaywe Inn the Woods, and has accumu-
lated over 25 years of experience as a chef in
leading northern Michigan area resorts and
downstate country clubs.
He states, We take a food-first approach
here at Michaywe Inn the Woods. Flavors,
textures, seasonings and freshness are our
priorities. We purchase as many of our
ingredients locally as possible, and we even
have our own herb garden right here on the
grounds. We believe that the little details
make the difference for our guests.
The Michaywe Inn the Woods setting is
simply superb, with a wall of windows along
two sides of the main dining area beautifully
capturing the views of the surrounding
woodlands, the graceful walking bridge arch-
ing over Lake Michaywe, and the open fair-
ways of the Pines Golf Course.
Outside dining is available, as are two
large banquet rooms; the Terrace Room,
which accesses a huge outdoor deck over-
looking the lake, and the Bridgeview, room
with a vista that frames the walking bridgeacross the lake. Each of the large facilities
are utilized regularly for wedding receptions,
rehearsal dinners and business or organiza-
tional meetings and gatherings. Michaywe
Inn the Woods also features a separate cock-
tail lounge area with a full selection of wines,
beers and spirits and flat screen televisions
strategically placed for optimal guest view-
ing.
Michaywe Inn the Woods is open year
round with the exception of a two-week peri-
od in early April for spring-cleaning.
Autumn of operation are
Monday through Thursday,
4 pm until 9 pm, Friday 4pm until 10 pm, Saturday
noon until 10 pm, and
Sunday from noon until 9
pm.
We offer monthly menu
specials throughout the
summer season, notes Jeff
Schneider, Food & Beverage
Director, who has over 22
years of experience in the
restaurant industry. We
also offer half-orders on
most of our menu selections
for those who prefer down-
sized p ortions.
Michaywe Inn the
Woods offers a truly unique
dining experience in a beau-
tiful northern Michigan set-
ting, Schneider adds. We
firmly believe that after vis-
iting us the first time, guests
will return again and again.

Choosing a locally owned store
generates almost four times asmuch economic benefit for the
surrounding region as shopping at
a chain, a new study has conclud-
ed. The analysis also found that
eating at a local restaurant pro-
duces more than twice the local
economic impact of dining at a
chain restaurant.
The research firm Civic
Economics analyzed data from fif-
teen independent retailers andseven independent restaurants, all
located in Salt Lake City, and com-
pared their impact on the local
economy with four chain retail
stores (Barnes & Noble, Home
Depot, Office Max, and Target) and
three national restaurant chains
(Darden, McDonalds, and P.F.
Changs).
The study found that the local
retailers return an average of 52percent of their revenue to the
local economy, compared with just
14 percent for the chain retailers.
Similarly, the local restaurants re-
circulate an average of 79 percent
of their revenue locally, compared
to 30 percent for the chain eateries.
What accounts for the difference?
Independent businesses spend
much more on local labor. They
also procure more goods for resale
locally and rely much more heavily
on local providers for services like
accounting and printing. This
means that much of the money a
customer spends at a local store or
restaurant is re-spent within the
local economy, supporting other
businesses and jobs.

Story Hours
Parent/Child Lap Sits will be offered every Monday and
Thursday at 10:30 a.m. in the Childrens Program Room at
the library beginning Monday, September 23 through
Thursday December 19, 2013. The programs run about 20
to 30 minutes, consist of developmentally appropriate sto-
ries, songs, finger plays presented in a variety of ways and
will be delivered by Youth Services Librarian, Ron Fowler.
A Saturdays Child Story Hour will be offered every
Saturday from 4-4:00 pm beginning on Saturday, 9/21, in
the Childrens Program Room for children ages 3-7. These

exact elements of each program will vary depending upon
the strengths of each presenter. Generally several stories
will be featured along with music, movement, art activities,
finger plays, puppets and more. The emphasis will be on
fun. Parental participation is a must and the activity is free.
Currently there is no registration is required.
Readers Theatre
The Library will, once again, offer its Reader's Theatre
programs for elementary-aged kids and teens. Readers
Theatre is a legitimate form of drama with actors using their
voices and upper bodies to convey various roles in a script
through reading to an audience. It differs from a play in
that parts or roles are read rather than memorized. Actors
usually stand behind lecterns or music stands and use tech-
niques such as vocal and facial expressions as well as hand
and arm movements. Small hand props may be used as
well. Readers Theater builds reading confidence, helps
readers learn to read with expression, promotes reading flu-
ency, and, its FUN. The elementary group will meet from
5:30 pm to 6:30 pm on Mondays and the teen group will
meet at the same time on Tuesdays. Both programs will
take place in the Childrens program room at the library.
Chess Club
Our chess club, The Chess Gang will meet on Mondays
from 3-5 pm in the Children's Program Room. The Chess
Gang is a chess club for 8-14 year-olds that meets to learn
the game with some instruction and lots of playing. The
gangs mentor is Mr. Robert Bemben of Levering.
Additionally, there will be Chess Gang Family Fun Nights
on the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in
the Carnegie Building (the old library). There is no sign-up
and this activity is free.
All of these activities will run through December 20, 2013.
For more information about these and other events, please
contact the Childrens Room at the Petoskey District Library,
231-758 -3112, or, visit the web site at www.petoskeyli-
brary.org.

Hours are: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 10:00a.m. to

North Central Michigan College is offering four free lec-tures of international interest this fall on the Petoskey cam-
pus.
The film showing and discussion for Prince Among Slaveswill be on Tuesday, September 24 at 7 p.m. in the Student
Center cafeteria. This film explores and dramatizes the
incredible true story of a West African military general and
heir to Futa Jalon, Abdul Rahman Ibrahima Sori, who was
captured in a war in Africa and enslaved in Mississippi.
After 40 years of enslavement, he finally regained his free-
dom, became a national celebrity and dined in the White
House. This is an incredible story about a man who
endured the humiliation of slavery without ever losing his
dignity or his hope for freedom. North Central sociology
professor Kerri Finlayson will lead the discussion following
the film viewing.
On Tuesday, October 8 at 7 p.m. Timothy Young will speak
on international justice and local food in the Library con-
ference center. Timothy Fitzgerald Young is founder, presi-
dent and chef of Food for Thought, Inc., creators of organic
