Gaylordvolleyball camp
set forJuly 9-11
ciently, averaging 7.4 strike-outs per game while allowing
less than two earned runs.
What made Conway really
tough, though, was his abilityto bear down in crucial situa-
tions and get the outs. In the
crucial games againstCharlevoix, Benzie Central
and Newaygo, Conway
pitched out of jams several
times. In the 5-2 win overfavored Benzie in the region-
al semifinals, Conway twice
pitched out of bases-loadedsituations without allowing a
run. Two other innings, the
Huskies had two runners onwith less than two outs and
scored just one run.
Craig could take it to
another level when he hadto, VanWagoner said. He
was definitely at his toughest
when he had runners onbase. He could reach back
and deliver his best pitch
when he had to have it.
Conway credited the confi-dence he felt in catchers Cole
VanWagoner and Kevin
Schepperley and his confi-dence in the defenders
behind him in the infield and
outfield as a huge key to his
ability to pitch out of jams aswell as to his overall success.
When the situation called
for it I tried to bear down andfocus that much harder, he
said. My goal all year was to
have the hitters pound the
ball into the ground and letthe guys behind me take care
of it. When I needed an out I
was always confident I couldget it. I knew if they hit the
ball, our fielders would get
it.
Conway said the chemistrythat developed between him
on the mound and
Schepperley andVanWagoner behind the
plate helped immensely. The
infield featuring Dalton Sulzat third, Kyle Schepperley at
shortstop, Logan Borst at
second and Damion Decker
at first gobbled grounderslike a high-powered Hoover.
The outfield of Kevin
Schepperley in left, WyattDerrer in center and Trevor
Ackler in right was not only
faster than blazes but adept
at tracking down flies andturning potential doubles in
the alley into loud outs.
I cant say enough aboutKevin and Cole behind the
plate and the defense in the
field behind me, Conway
said. Without that, I would-nt have done nearly as well.
Kyle was tremendous at
shortstop and Damion wasincredible at first the way he
stretched and made plays.
Dalton was like a truck at
third and Logan knew whathe was doing at second. He
was just a sophomore but he
came up the varsity the yearbefore as a freshman. We
went into every game know-
ing had a better outfield than
everybody we played. We allhad confidence in each
other.
The highlight of the yearfor Conway was the tense 2-1
victory in the quarterfinals.
He scattered six hits and didnot allow an earned run to
Newaygo in eight innings of
work. He struck out seven
along the way.In the first couple of
innings I was a little wild but
I got in the zone after thatand started slotting my
pitches, he said. My break-
ing pitches were working
really good. After we scoredin the sixth (on Wyatt Derrers
two-out RBI double) you
could feel the momentumcoming to our side. We knew
we were gonna win after
that.
In the eighth inning,Decker came all the way
around from first with the
winning run when Borst laiddown a bunt and the ball was
overthrown at first base.
When Damion scored, it
was probably the best feelingIve ever had in my life, he
said. We knew we were
going to Battle Creek for thefirst time in school history. It
was an awesome feeling for
me in my last year knowing I
would get to play downstate.Conway will be continuing
his baseball career at Albion.
I went down there thiswinter for baseball camp and
really liked it, he said. The
coaches were interested inme so I went back on a
recruiting visit. I liked the
campus and the coaches and
the way they ran the pro-gram. The coaches are a lot
like Coach V and Coach
(Chris) Saunders, veryknowledgeable about the
game. Theyre also very into
the game and have a passion
for it and that really fits thetype of player I am.
Conway will do some
pitching and also be a posi-tion player, at least at the
outset.
You go down there for fall
ball and that gives you anidea of what you want to do
at the college level, he said.
Im leaning toward pitchingbut Ill do whatever the coach
wants me to do.
He and Gunnar Owensfrom Johannesburg-Lewiston are both going in as
freshmen at the school in the
fall and will also roomtogether.
We know each other from
going to the showcase at
Adrian and from playin gagainst each other so when I
found out he was going there,
too, I was pretty excited,Conway said. Since were
friends we figured we might
as well room together.VanWagoner believes
Conway and Owens both
have a lot to offer at the next
level.
Craig has a tremendousupside with his size,
VanWagoner said. Gunnarsthe same way. Theyre both
big, lanky guys who havent
reached their potential
weight yet. When you projecttwo or three years down the
road after they build their
bodies up and work on theirmechanics, you have a cou-
ple of guys who could really
tear it up. I think they bothcan pitch and be successful if
they devote the time to it.
Under VanWagoners tute-
lage, Mancelona has won 29,24, 28 and 29 games the past
four seasons. This year was
particularly gratifying for theveteran coach because of the
way the young players on his
team developed during the
season and learned how to
win games.Im really proud of this
group of young men, he
said. They went above andbeyond. Our pitching withCraig, Brandon and Kyle
(Schepperley) was very con-
sistent and the kids did thejob in the field game after
game. We werent always con-
sistent hitting the ball but we
were able to use bunts andsteals to manufacture runs
when we had to. Its been a
great year.Guild joins retired Rogers
City coach Howard Madsen
as the only other baseballcoach in northern Michigan
to reach the remarkable 700-
win plateau.
For Guild, who started
coaching at Johannesburg in1975, to attain that many
wins in the North Countrywhere weather is a challenge
year after year and so many
games are cancelled each
spring is nothing short ofamazing. It is a testament to
Guilds ability to mold his
players in to a winning uniteach year, though Guild
deflects praise from himself,
focusing instead on the kids.It just means Ive had a lot
of good kids, Guild said
modestly in an April inter-
view after reaching the mile-stone. Weve been fortunate
to have some really good
baseball players herethrough the years, kids who
love the sport and put in the
time to get pretty good at it.

Mellon Triathlon upcoming in Gaylord
By Doug Derrer
GAYLORD -- In their sea-
son-opening doubleheader
on Tuesday, June 19, in
Gaylord against the Sandlot
the Mancelona Crush swept
both games 7-4 and 16-9.The Crush jumped out to a
4-0 lead after four innings
before the Sandlot got to
Crush starter Caleb Roberts
for four runs in the fifth
inning. The Crush responded
with three runs in the sixth
inning and cool Crush reliev-
er Kolbi Schumaker shut out
the Sandlot for the final two
innings to earn the 7-4 win.
Dustin Derrer and Zach
Bontrager whacked the ball
with authority, each generat-
ing two hits and two RBIs to
pace the Crush offense.
The Sandlot jumped out to
a 3-0 lead after the first
inning in the nightcap, but
the Crush responded with an
eight run second nning totake an 8-3 lead into the bot-
tom of the second.
The Sandlot returned fire
with five runs of their own in
the second before Derrer was
summoned to the mound to
take over for Bontrager.
Derrer held the Sandlot to
just one run over the last five
innings while the Crush con-
tinued scoring runs on their
way to a 16-9 win.
The D.A. was delivering
big-time for the Crush in
game two, especially with
runners on base. Dustin
Allen drilled two hits and
knocked in four runs while
Derrer and Logan Borst had
two hits and two RBIs and
Cole VanWagoner stroked atwo-run single to lead the
Crush offense.
On Thursday, June 21, the
Crush welcomed Benzie to
Mancelona and Benzie
would go home happy after
sweeping the Crush 8-1 and
12-5. In the opener Benzie
scored four first-inning runs
and that would be all they
would need as Benzie pitcher
Roddie McNeil limited the
Crush to just two hits, one by
Josh Tyrer and one by
Bontrager in Benzies 8-1 tri-
umph.
In the nightcap the Crush
scored five runs in the sec-
ond inning to take a 5-3 lead,
but that would be the only
offense the Crush could put
together in the game, while
Benzie used a five-run fourth
inning to retake the lead on
their way to a 12-5 win.
The dangerous Derrer had
two hits and an RBI while
Roberts, Tyrer, and Trevor
Ackler each had a hit for the
Crush.

GAYLORD The Michigan
High School Soccer Coaches
Associa tion released its
annual All-State selections
this week and Petoskey sen-
ior midfielder Gabbi
Vandenbrink was a first-team
choice in Division 2.
Vandenbrink, a four-year
starter and an impact player
every year for the Northmen,
capped her brilliant prep
career with an outstanding
campaign, drilling home 18
goals to go with 9 assists as
the Northmen repeated as
Big North champions and
captured a district title.
Vandenbrink , who will
continue her career at Elmira
College in New York, was also
the leading scorer in the Big
North.
Gaylords stingy goalkeep-
er Alex Simmons also earned
recognition in Division 2,
being named honorable
mention. The junior was sen-
sational for the Blue Devils
this season, especially at
home where she permitted
just one goal.
Cheboygan junior mid-
fielder Megan Murphy was a
third-team pick in Division 3
after helping the Chiefs cap-
ture the Northern Michigan
Soccer League title. Junior
forward McKenzie Carroll,
senior goalie Taylor
Lopiccolo and freshman for-
ward Mandy Paull were hon-
orable mention.

BERRIEN COUNTY -- OnTuesday, May 22, at 8 p.m. onthe St. Joseph River inBerrien County a new state
record flathead catfish wascaught by Rodney Akey ofNiles, Michigan.
The fish weighed 49.8pounds and measured 45.7inches. Akey was still-fishingfrom shore with an alewife
when he landed the recordfish. The record was verifiedby Scott Hanshue, a DNR
fisheries biologist, at thePlainwell office.
The previous state recordflathead catfish was caught
by Elmer Rayner of Hastingson the Maple River in IoniaCounty on August 6, 1943.That fish weighed 47.5pounds and measured 44inches.
"I've been fishing catfishon the St. Joseph River for thelast 20 years, but it nevercrossed my mind that I
would catch a state record,"
said Akey. "And beating a
nearly 70-year record ? that's
a feat in itself!"
State records are recog-
nized by weight only. To qual-
ify for a state record, fish
must exceed the current list-
ed state record weight and
identification must be veri-
fied by a DNR fisheries biolo-
gist.

LANSING -- TheDepartment of NaturalResources announced recent-
ly that snowmobile and off-road vehicle (ORV) trail riderswill soon notice a reduction inthe types of trail markingsalong the more than 10,000miles of Michigan's designat-ed motorized trail system.The DNR implemented these
changes to improve safetyand provide consistent guid-ance to the more than 90 non-
profit organizations thatmaintain the trails.A citizens' advisory work-
group (comprised of trail-rid-ing enthusiasts, trail mainte-nance organizations, mem-bers of the DNR'sSnowmobile Advisory
Workgroup and the MichiganSnowmobile Association)made recommendations to
the DNR, resulting in theseupcoming changes. Technicalsupport for the workgroup
was provided by recreationand law enforcement staff ofthe DNR and the U.S. ForestService.
Changes include the elimi-nation of 10 workgroup-selected snowmobile signs,the addition of five new snow-mobile signs (plus guidelinesfor placement), and a reduc-tion in the size of regulatorysigns in the ORV program tomake them consistent withsnowmobile signage (alreadyimplemented in 2011). Thechanges also include replac-ing ORV trail markers with
new, highly visible, yellowmarkers. Installation will bephased in over the next sever-al years.
The following snowmobiletrail signs will be removed:
Bridge AheadChevronDeer CrossingDrift AreaNarrow BridgeNarrow TrailTrail CrossingTruck TrafficTwo Way Trail

include:Combination Horizontal

"Private Drives Ahead"(These signs may be used
to warn trail users wheredriveways cross a snowmo-bile trail)
One-Direction Large Arrow(left and right)
(These signs will be used onsnowmobile trails to givenotice of changes in horizon-tal trail alignment of 90degrees or more. One-direc-tion Large Arrow signs are 10 x20 inches, yellow reflectivesigns with a black arrow and
border)"Next (number of) Miles" -
supplemental plaque(These signs may be
installed below "PrivateDrives Ahead" signs to indi-cate how many miles long thestretch of trail with privatedrives runs)
"Trail Closed to WheeledMotor Vehicles Ahead"
(When used, these signsshould be placed on state orfederal land prior to the point
where a designat ed statesnowmobile trail enters pri-vate property where wheeledmotorized vehicle use is pro-hibited)
The DNR will continue to
mark 90-degree turns with"sharp turn" warning signs
supplemented with a newdirectional arrow. The newsnowmobile trail signage pro-
gram will go into effect at thestart of the 2012-13 snowmo-bile season.
According to Bill Manson,executive director of theMichigan Snowmobile
Association, "Several of theother snowmobile states andOntario have reduced theirsigns and have seen a reduc-tion in accidents. Our objec-tive is to provide a safe, fami-ly-oriented trail system forsnowmobiling in Michigan."
"The changes to the motor-ized trail signage program isthe result of a collaborativeprocess with stakeholdergroups and should be a realimprovement for trail users,"
said Ron Olson, chief of theDNR's Parks and RecreationDivision. "The sign reduc-tions will result in less clutteralong the trails and providefor more consistencystatewide."
In addition, new ORV trailconfidence markers will bephased in over the next sever-al years as funding allows. Thenew ORV trail markers will be
yellow to disting uish themfrom snowmobile trails. Foradditional information,please contact Steve Kubisiak,DNR Recreation and TrailsProgram coordinator at 517-373-1665 or via e-mail atkubisiaks@michigan.gov.

Key Areas to PayAttention to
When Buying aHome
Compliments of Ed Wohlfiel
Looking for a new home can be exciting and frustrat-
ing. You can help a lleviate the frustration by paying close
attention to five key areas of the homes you're consider-
ing 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 hefrequently reports problems with. They are electrical,
foundation, plumbing, the attic, and landscaping.
Tip # 3 - Plumbing
Walker says another big area of concern is the plumb-
ing. It's an area that you can't always spot as easily but it
can create expensive repairs if plumbing issues go either
undetected or are not properly fixed. "Mold forms under-
neath sinks when people have a leak and they fix the pipe
but they don't take care of the mold," says Walker.
He says things like caulking the sink can help prevent
mold. "That's my number one thing I always find -- bad
sinks," says Walker.
He says that when you look at the sink, look behind it
and most of the time you will discover a little crack.
"What happens is, when you wash dishes or you wash
your hands in the bathroom or the kitchen, the water
gets in that crack and seeps down. Once the water gets
behind the cabinet it's in a perfect position to create
mold," says Walker. The dampness, humidity, and lack of
light can turn that area beneath the sink into a mold-
breeding ground.
