Top Choice 2012 Boys Basketball
SPORTS
Prolific Pellston guard helped lead Hornets tofirst regional title since 1944; Hornets CliffHass is Coach of Year
By Mike Dunn
PELLSTON There was lit-
tle drama in picking the 2012
Top Choice All-Area Player of
the Year in boys basketball.
Certainly, no one was more
deserving of the honor than
Pellston senior guard
Christopher Hass.
The 6-foot-4 Hass, who
shared Player of the Year
honors a year ago with then
Petoskey senior Cory Starkey,
put the FEE in Phenomenal
this season. He was simply a
standout in every aspect of
the game as he helped lead
Pellston to post a 23-2 record
and earn a Ski Valley
Conference co-champi-
onship with Bellaire, a Class
D district championship andthe schools first regional title
since 1944.
Hass is the third Pellston
player to receive Weekly
Choice Player of the Year
honors. Richard Blair
received the award in 2006
and Ridge Hahn in 2008.
Hasss father and coach,
Cliff Hass, is the 2012 Top
Choice Coach of the Year
after leading the Hornets to
their second straight district
title and the schools first
regional trophy since World
War II, and Hornet senior
Andy Hamlin, a 6-foot-5 for-
ward who is a 1,000-point
scorer and an outstanding
player in his own right, is also
a first-team All-Area pick.
Other members of the 2012
Dream Team include senior
guard Zak Lewis and senior
forward Joe Robbins of
Petoskey, senior forward Troy
Gahm of Gaylord and
Graylings hard-nosed sen-
iors Zane Tobin and Steven
Enos.
Hass came into his senior
season with the weight of
high expectations on his
shoulders and he more than
lived up to the challenge. Thesmooth-striding Hornet
guard shared Associated
Press Class D Player of the
Year honors as a junior,
among many other awards,
and had already committed
to Div. I Bucknell University
in Lewisberg, Pa.
He was not content to rest
on his laurels as he came into
his senior season but
approached the campaign
with the disposition of a hun-
gry predator stimulated by
the scent of dinner in its nos-
trils. Hass was focused and
on fire from the start and
never let up for a minute. He
averaged a whopping 31
points and 9.2 rebounds in
spite of frequently missing
time in lopsided games when
his dad would remove the
starters.
Hass tamed the twine withfrightening frequency but he
was more than just a scorer.
What sets Hass apart as an
elite All-State player is his
mental acuity on the floor,
his unelfish play, his ability to
handle the ball, to battle
down low and to apply suffo-
cating defensive pressure.
Like all the really good play-
ers, he made everyone
around him better.
This can all be clearly seen
in his eye-popping stats.
In addition to averaging
9.2 rebounds this season,
Hass also made 2.4 blocks
per game. He confounded
opponents by consistently
finding open teammates on
the floor while averaging an
amazing 5.9 assists per game
and he covered the floor like
wall-to-wall carpeting at the
other end, averaging 4.6
steals.
For his efforts, he was
named first-team All-Ski
Valley for the fourth straight
time and repeated as the
Associa ted Press Class D
Player of the Year, this time
all by himself.
In four years as a varsity
starter, Hass assaulted theiron game after game to
accumulate 2,522 points, the
third best total ever in the
state. In Hasss junior year,
Pellston won its first district
title since 2006, defeating
perennial hardwood power
Harbor Light Christian in the
finals. This year, the Hornets
took it one step farther, cap-
turing district and regional
honors before losing a heart-
breaker to U.P. powerhouse
Carney-Nadeau in the Class
D quarterfinals.
Hass didnt do it alone,
though. Far from it. He was
surrounded by a talented
group of teammates who also
exhibited the hunger to excel
and came together to achieve
their mission under the spir-
ited leadership of coach Cliff
Hass.
The 6-foot-5 Hamlin was akey factor in Pellstons
accomplishments this sea-
son. Though overshadowed
at times by Hasss other-
wordly stats, Hamlin put
together an excellent prep
hardwood career as a three-
year starter. He became the
eighth player from Pellston
to surpass the 1,000-point
scoring plateau midway
through the season and he
served as a perfect comple-
ment to Hass game in and
game out, giving the Hornets
a potent inside-out punch.
The 6-foot-3 Lewis was a
lightning strike waiting to
happen all season long for
the Northmen of coach
Dennis Starkey. Lewis lit it up
for 15.3 points per game and
was the kind of determined,
leech-like defender opposing
ball handlers hated to face.
The sweet-shooting senior,
who was a Class A honorable
mention All-State choice,
nailed 40 percent of his 3-
point attempts while pulling
down 5.5 rebounds and
recording 2.9 assists per
game and helping the
Northmen to repeat as Big
North champs and capture aClass A district title.
The 6-foot-3 Robbins is
noted more for his exploits
on the gridiron but he p roved
again this season that hes a
rock-solid performer on the
hardwood as well. Robbins,
who accepted a scholarship
in December to play football
for Div. II national power
Grand Valley State, cast a
long shadow inside for the
Northmen this season, pro-
viding potent punch from
the paint to complement the
perimeter fireworks supplied
by guards Lewis, Jake Mullin
and Sam Baumgartner.
The 6-foot-3 Gahm, a
trench-tough three-year var-
sity player for the Blue Devils,put the GROAN in oppo-
nents mouths all season
long. The unflappable Gahm
averaged 19 points and 9
rebounds and spilled tons of
sweat in the paint to help his
team battle hard and be
competitive night in and
night out.
The 6-foot-4 Enos and the
6-foot-3 Tobin were both
three-year varsity starters for
coach Rich Moffit. Enos
scored 311 total points, aver-
aging 13.5 per game from his
wing post and Tobin, the
lethal lefty in the backcourt,
hit for 337 points, an average
of 14.7 points. Zane zoned in
to connect on 60 percent of
his two-point attempts and
40 percent of his 3-point
shots.
Enos also pulled down 9.0
rebounds and was a pirate on
defense, averaging 3.6 steals.
He also set the table for his
teammates like a Food
Network chef, averaging 3.4
assists.
Tobin, who earned
Honorable Mention All-State
recognition for his efforts,
hauled in 5.0 rebounds to go
with 2.2 assists and 1.7 steals.
Tobin will be continuing his
hardwood career at Siena
Heights, a top-notch NAIAprogram.
The Top Choice Second-
Team roster includes
Petoskeys sharpshooting
senior guard Jake Mullin; St.
Marys hard-striding junior
guard Matt Spyhalski;
Mancelonas phenomenal
freshman guard Brandon
Dingman, who is already one

GAYLORD The Gaylord
boys and girls track teams
engaged in a pair of large
indoor high school meets
prior to spring break. The
first was held at Lake
Superior State University on
Thursday, March 22, and the
second was held at Central
Michigan University on
Wednesday, March 28.The Blue Devils fared pret-
ty well in each.
The Gaylord girls captured
first place in the team stand-
ings at LSSU in a field that
included perennially tough
Class A foe Marquette.
Freshman Grace Sanders
showed lots of bounce to the
ounce in her varsity debut,
accumulating a team-high
17.5 points in the meet for
coach Jeff Kalember.
Sanders surged to a first-
place time of 7.88 seconds in
the 55-meter dash and she
was also part of the winning
800 relay with teammates
Megan Carlson, Alanna
Johnston and Katelynn
Dreyer. Sanders scooted to
second place in the 200 dash
as well.
The versatile Johnston is
kicking off the 2012 season in
fine fashion for the Blue
Devils. The senior soared tofirst place in the high jump,
defying gravity as she cleared
the bar at the dizzying height
of 5 feet, 2 inches, an excel-
lent accomplishment for this
early in the season. The 5-2
height would have won last
years U.P. state champi-
onship.
Dreyer had a dynamic day,
too, taking first in the 400-
meter dash with a whiplash
time of 1:04.56, and Carlson
helped the cause also, cruis-
ing to third place in the 200-
meter dash and taking sec-
ond in the 55-meter hurdles.
The Gaylord boys made it a
clean sweep with their first-
place performance in the
meet.
Gorden Hoyem said Hello
to the new season in
Herculean fashion, taking
first with a long leap in the
long jump. Gordon also
flashed to second in the 55hurdles and was part of the
1600 relay foursome that fin-
ished as runner-up.
Cody Morris was in Cruise
Mode as he legged to a first-
place time of 53.54 seconds
in the 400 dash. He also
joined forces with Caleb
Tomes, Collin Watters and
Trae Hill for first in the 1600
relay.
Nate Fischer flew to first in
the 800-meter run and was
the anchor leg of the winning
3200-meter relay with team-
mates Jake Pasternak, Jake
Henley and Charlend
Howard.
Space Man Craig
Richardson also claimed a
first-place finish for Gaylord,
clearing the high jump bar at
6-0.
ON MARCH 28 in the CMU
meet, Gaylord also per-
formed well against a larger,
deeper field of competitors.Johnston gave the Blue
Devils a nice jump start, pro-
pelling herself over the high
jump bar at 4-10 to claim
fourth place overall. Alanna
also teamed with Dreyer,
Carlson and Erin Borgeson to
secure second in the 1600
relay.
Brandi Tallent stepped up
big in the field events as she
showed her talent in the pole
vault, clearing the bar at 8
feet to earn second place.
Brandi has her sights set this
season on the Gaylord school
record of 8-6 in the event.
Allison Fisher also earned
field-event points for the
Blue Devils, taking fifth in the
competitive shot put with a
personal-best heave of 32
feet, 4 inches.
Sanders sweet feet
accounted for a berth in the
finals of the highly competi-
tive 60-meter dash. She camein eighth place in the event, a
notable achievement for a
freshman facing that kind of
competition for the first
time.
Fischer was fine for the
Gaylord boys in the CMU
meet, finishing strong to cap-
ture second in the 800-meter
run in a solid early-season
time of 2:05.10.
Morris motored to third in
the 400 dash and Howard
launched himself to fifth in
the high jump.
Gaylord competes again
on Wednesday, April 18, in a
Big North clash at home
against Traverse City Central.
Gaylord looks strong

Sturgeon for Tomorrow is
seeking volunteers to join in
its effort (in partnership with
the Department of Natural
Resources Law Enforcement
Division) to help protect
sturgeon from poaching.
Each spring, mature lake
sturgeon, a fish species that
is threatened in Michigan
and rare throughout the
United States, become vul-nerable to poaching as they
briefly leave Black Lake in
Cheboygan County for
spawning sites in the Black
River. Hundreds of volun-
teers stand guard at these
sites during the spawning
season, from mid-April
through early June, to report
any suspicious activity and
deter the unlawful take of
this prized fish.
When spawni ng begins,
sturgeon guards are assigned
in shifts to sites along the
river. The volunteers stand
watch and, if necessary, use
cellular phones provided by
Sturgeon for Tomorrow to
contact DNR conservationofficers who are actively
patrolling the area in support
of the guarding effort. Aerial
surveillance is also deployed
to secure the area and deter
illegal activity.
Many shift opportunities
are available for those who
wish to help. Coordinators
will be on-site to assist and
answer questions. In addi-
tion to guarding the fish, vol-
unteers can also play a key
role by recording the number
and activity of fish they see.
Individuals or groups
interested in volunteering
should contact Ann
Feldhauser at 906-201-2484
or register online at

work on Michigan's waters,
habitat rehabilitation and
protection, fish stocking,
information distribution,
education and outreach
efforts to anglers and the
public, and much more.
Fisheries Division does not
receive any general funds
and depends on angler dol-
lars, through license sales
and federal excise tax dollars
for fishing tackle, to manage
Michigan's fisheries. Buying
a fishing license even if you
do not plan to fish can make
a big difference to the future
health of Michigan's prized
freshwaters.
There are three simple
ways to purchase a fishing
license in Michigan:
Visit your local license
retailer or DNR Operations
Service Center and make a
purchase in person.
Use the E-License system
to buy a license online 24
hours a day, seven days a
week. Just visit www.mdnr-
elicense.com to get started.
Visit the Mobile Fish web-
site on your smartphone
(www.mi.gov/fish) to buy a
24-hour all-species fishing
license. All you need is your
driver's license number and
a credit or debit card.For more information on
fishing in Michigan, visit
www.michigan.gov/fishing.
Come on Wednesday, April 11 to the Straits Area Audubon Society pro-
gram at 6:30 pm to the Cheboygan Area Public Library for a presentation ALL
ALIVE by Jim McGrath of Nature Discovery, a private nature education cen-
ter near Lansing.
Jim, you may remember, presented a highly successful program last April
on Michigan Snakes. This year Jim's presentation will be on Michigan's tur-
tles. His talk will inspire both awe and respect for these magnificent crea-
tures which have succeeded in their way of making a living since before the
time of the dinosaurs. He will discuss their role in the environment and spe-
cialized adaptations. Jim will bring all the species of turtles that live in
Michigan and make these gentle creatures available for program attendees
to closely inspect and handle.

LEELANAU -- More than
100 years after his death,
Deputy Game Warden Frank
S. Wilson was remembered
by the Department of Natural
Resources for his service to
the state. Tuesday, April 3,marks the 104th anniversary
of the discovery of Wilson's
body in the woods near
Leelanau.
This year, as the DNR cele-
brates a significant milestone
-- the 125th anniversary of
the first day on the job for
Michigan's first conservation
officer -- the department ispaying special tribute to the
12 state conservation offi-
cers, including Wilson, who
lost their lives while carrying
out their professional duties.
An Elk Rapids resident,
Wilson had been commis-
sioned as a deputy warden
less than a year earlier and
had been assigned to a dis-
trict composed of 10 coun-ties in northern Michigan. He
was the first warden in
Michigan to be killed in the
line of duty.
Wilson was last seen alive
on the night of April 1, 1908,
in Traverse City. He was later
found with two bullet
wounds to his head. The 53-
year-old was survived by his
wife and seven children.
"Most of the records of
Wilson's service were lost in
a building fire in the 1950s,"
said DNR Law Enforcement
Division Chief Gary Hagler.
"He has, however, been hon-
ored as a fallen conservation
officer at the North American
Game Warden Museum."
Chief Hagler said that even
though it's more than a cen-
tury later, "Deputy Warden
Wilson's sacrif ice has not
been forgotten."
Throughout 2012, the
DNR's Law EnforcementDivision will sponsor a num-
ber of events commemorat-
ing this anniversary, includ-
ing a service for the 12 fallen
conservation officers. That
ceremony will be held at the
Ralph A. MacMullan
Conference Center in
Roscommon on May 15 --
which is also the date of the
National Peace Officers'
Memorial Service at the U.S.
Capitol, part of National
Police Week in honor of all
fallen peace officers.

Endless Loan Shopping
Some buyers spend end-less hours, days and weeksshopping for the perfectloan watching every uptick and down tick in theloan rates, talking tonumerous brokers andbanks, trying to get the bestpossible deal and saving afew bucks here and there onpoints, fees and other
expenses.
In our practical experi-ence, its all about what is
the buyer qualified for andwhat can they afford?Rather than trying to get theabsolute best loan deal,spend time to make sure
you have the best availableloan broker or mortgagebanker.
An experienced and wellqualified professional cansmooth over the bumps andmini-crises that are experi-enced with almost everyhome loan these days.Banks and finance compa-
nies are very stringentabout their rules and proce-dures. Having someone
who knows the ropes andfew short cuts can greatlyhelp you save time andannoyance when closing
your loan for your newhome. You may have tospend an extra couple hun-dred bucks but the lack ofhassle and last minutenegotiations and financialscrambling should morethan make up for it.

Real Estate
By Jim Akans
Space, comfort, gorgeous rustic elegance and waterfront living all
on a beautiful all-sports lake near Gaylord. What a fabulous way to
enjoy living in the north!
This three-bedroom, two bath lakeside abode features just over
2,000 square feet of well-planned, wonderfully appointed living
space. A centerpiece of the design is a large and open great room,
kitchen and dining area highlighted by a soaring cathedral ceiling, a
stunningly beautiful wall of windows framing the westerly lakeside
views, and the northern interior elegance of rich, tongue and groove
walls and ceiling finishes. The space is anchored by a magnificent
wood-burning fireplace with a grand fieldstone surround and wood
mantel.
Other highlights of the home include a huge wrap-around raised deck that
extends across the rear and side of the home, and a lower level walkout that
features a large family room area. A main level laundry room provides much
appreciated convenience, and ample extra storage should never be an issue
as this property also features a detached three-car garage.
As wonderful as this home is, the allure of the 177 feet of all-sports lake
frontage this property offers is certain to be a much valued attribute that will
bring the new homeowners countless hours of recreational and relaxation
enjoyment. A dock, 18-foot pontoon boat, and even a paddleboat are all
included in the listing price.
And the very attractive listing price for this fabulous year-round or vaca-
tion lakeside get-away is just $230,000.
