GAYLORD The 2013 prep
football season opener is fast
approaching.
On Thursday, Aug. 29,
eight of the 11 teams in the
coverage area of the Weekly
Choice begin the regular
season. The three other
teams start on Friday.
The week-one lineup fea-
tures Cheboygan at Gaylord
in a huge early-season clash
for both teams. It will be the
Blue Devils first game under
recently returned head
coach Will Cleaver. That is
one of the games that will beplayed on Thursday evening.
Other Thursday games
include: Gaylord St. Mary atHillman in the debut of
Snowbird head coach Kevin
OConnell; Roscommon at
Grayling; Onaway at Inland
Lakes in the debut on
Cardinal head coach Jimmy
Cleaver; Elk Rapids at
Mancelona; and
Whittemore-Prescott at Mio.
The Friday games are:
Johannesburg-Lewiston at
Tawas Area in the debut of
longtime Cardinal assistant
coach Joe Smokevitch as the
head man; Fife Lake Forest
Area at Pellston; and Sault
Ste. Marie at Petoskey.
Will Cleaver at Gaylord ismaking his return as head
coach. OConnell at St. Mary,
Jim Cleaver at Onaway andSmokevitch at J-L will be
making their head coaching
debuts.
Cleaver had a very suc-
cessful tenure as the Blue
Devil head coach before
stepping down prior to the
2008 season. He comes back
to a program that has been
struggling in recent years in
hope of a quick return to
winning ways.
OConnell is a former
assistant and defensive coor-
dinator of Cleaver from 2004
to 2007 and also served as
the defensive coordinator for
Tim Sanchez at Graylingfrom 2009 to 2012.
OConnell, like Cleaver at
Gaylord, is hoping to bringthe Snowbirds back to win-
ning ways after some lean
years.
Jim Cleaver has served as
assistant coach at Onaway
and knows the players on
the team. He has some rich
talent to mine, including QB
Matt Tollini, among others.
Smokevitch has been an
assistant coach at
Johannesburg for 14 seasons.
He has served as the head JV
coach for several years with
good success. Many of the
players on this years varsity
team went 7-1 last year as JVplayers under Smokevitchs
guidance.
With the start of fall prep sports fast approaching, we want
to remind all our area coaches to please contact us with
information about your team. The Weekly Choice would like
to report on volleyball and cross country at your school
along with freshmen football and JV football or any other fall
sports.
If you or an assistant coach or a team manager or a parent
who comes to the games will send us details about the sport-
ing event, well get it in the paper. Just send the info to
Our deadline for getting a report on the sporting event in
that weeks issue is Tuesday before noon. Thanks!!

REMINDER TO AREA COACHES

7/29/2019 Weekly Choice - Section B - August 22, 2013
2/10
By Mike Dunn
GAYLORD In some ways
it was an easy decision for
Kevin OConnell to apply for
the head coaching football
job at Gaylord St. Mary last
winter. In other ways, it was
very hard.
OConnells children
attend St. Mary and he lives
close by in Johannesburg. It
made sense for him to seek
the coaching position where
his kids go to school.
OConnell is also Catholic
and that was also a perfect fit
at St. Mary. And this was an
opportunity to be a head
coach for the first time with-
out relocating his family to
do it.
Those are just some of the
many positives.
On the other hand, it was
REALLY tough to leave
Grayling after serving as the
Viking defensive coordinator
for four seasons.
It was the best four years
of coaching in my life,
OConnell said by phone on
Tuesday of this week. I loved
being part of the Grayling
coaching staff and workingwith Tim (Sanchez) and Eric
(Tunney) and those guys. The
kids there were great and the
community really got behind
the program.
But this opportunity at St.
Mary was just too good to
pass up, he added. And I
really believe in St. Mary and
the kids we have here.
OConnell, who works full-
time as a lease operator in
the oil and gas industry,
played quarterback, wing-
back and defensive back for
the storied Mount Pleasant
Sacred Heart program in the
1980s. His love for football
has never waned since those
high school days.
Even though OConnell is a
first-time head coach, he
brings a ton of experience to
the task. He served as defen-
sive coordinator and JV
coach at Farwell before com-
ing to Gaylord nearly a
decade ago. He served five
years on the sideline s at
Gaylord four years under
head coach Will Cleaver and
one season under Mark
Mendolia before accepting
the call to Grayling prior to
the 2009 season.
This season at St. Mary,
OConnell will be seeking to
bring back some of the roar
to a storied Snowbird pro-
gram that has hit on tough
times in recent years.
The Snowbirds have one
victory the past three seasons
and were 0-9 a year ago. The
problem for St. Mary has
never been effort; its been
lack of depth and size.
The good news for
OConnell is that there are 24
players out for football thisseason and some of them are
quality returnees at critical
positions.
OConnell said the
response of the young men
on the Snowbird program
has been outstanding. Even
though many of them are
involved in various extra-
curricular activities at the
school in addition to their
academic duties and playing
other sports in the winter
and spring, theyve found
time to get into the weight
room and take part in off-
season conditioning.
Cobra-quick senior Nick
Harrington (5-10, 175), who
not only has the motor to go
north and south but the
shifty moves to make him an
explosive threat every time
he has the ball in his hands,
has been moved from tail-
back to quarterback, where
he will engineer OConnells
diversified pistol spread
attack.
OConnell is placing a lot
on Harringtons shoulders
but the coach is confident
the young man is ready for
the challenge.
Harrington has pure
toughness, said OConnell.
Hes smart, hes gritty and he
works his tail off. Plus hes
fast as heck and hes shifty.
Harrington will go behind
center with one or two backs
behind him and make option
reads at the line. On any
given play, hell hand the ball
off, keep it himself or put the
ball in the air.
The backfield features
hard-nosed senior Carmen
Juneac (5-11, 210), a barrel-
ing beast at fullback, with fel-low senior Anders Marquard
(5-10, 180) and jackrabbit
junior Jack Lochinski rotat-
ing at tailback.
When Harrington goes to
the air, he has some rangy
targets in long-armed senior
Charles Strehl (6-4, 190) and
determined junior Orion
Beningo (6-3, 195), who has
been moved from tackle to
tight end this season. Super-
quick sophomore Adam
Nowicki (5-10, 145) and
Alphonse Buclay (5-6, 150)
bring speed to the receiving
corps.
Senior two-year starters
Brendan Nowicki (6-1, 255) at
center and rugged Willie
Canfield (5-11, 185) at guard
return to anchor the O-line.
Junior middle linebackerCole Loffer (5-11, 195) will be
in the thick of the action for
OConnells aggressive 4-3
defense. Beningo returns as a
menace at defensive end and
Juneac to the critical strong-
side linebacker slot.
The secondary should be a
strength with Harrington at
strong safety, Marquard at
free safety and Adam
Nowicki and Jack Lochinski
at cornerbacks.
OConnells players arent
afraid to set the bar high this
season. The team goals are to
improve every game and vie
for the Ski Valley South
Conference title in 2013.
OConnell lists the
Snowbirds strengths as
great leadership, great disci-
pline, great work ethic. Theteam motto this year is No
Regrets.
St. Mary opens with a
tough challenge on the road
against non-league foe
Hillman, a team which has
made the playoffs in six of
the past seven seasons. That
is followed with another road
game against former league
foe Pellston before opening
at home against Ski Valley
South foe Central Lake, a
team which made the play-
offs a year ago.
Four of the first five St.
Mary games are on the road.
The non-league schedule is a
tough one, with Ubly and
Kingsley coming to Gaylord
in addition to the games with
Hillman and Pellston.
OConnell is optimisticthat the Snowbirds can have
a successful campaign, how-
ever.
The kids are ready and
excited to move forward,
OConnell said. We all want
to get better and I think well
come out strong. We know
full well were going to make
mistakes. Our motto is, if you
make a mistake, make it an
aggressive mistake. I expect
us to come out and play hard
every down of every game.
Former Gaylord and Grayling defensivecoordinator now running things at St. Mary
Kevin OConnell, shown here on the Grayling sidelines in 2012, takes over the
reins of the St. Mary program.

Appleton runner claims Wellness 5K
Petoskey angler pulls in 27-pound salmon; steelhead should be coming intoAuSable River
Northwest Lower Peninsula
Fishing Report
Harbor Springs: Most of
the boat anglers were fishing
around Harbor Point in 180
to 200 feet of water. The
salmon were up higher in 60
to 80 feet but the lake trout
were deeper at 100 to 120
feet. Spoons were the ticket.
Petoskey: Few fish were
seen or caught off the break-
wall, the D-Pier, or at the
Bobber Hole. A couple
salmon were caught between
the pier and the water treat-
ment plant. Salmon and lake
trout were caught 90 feet
down in 120 feet of water
with spoons, flashe rs and
flies. One angler managed to
land a 27 pound salmon.
Bear River: Chinook and
steelhead can be found up
near the dam however the
big push of fish has not yet
occurred. The fish being
caught are the typical early
ones that come in every year.
Charlevoix: Boat anglers
are getting a few salmon but
catch rates were still low. The
fish caught were over 20
pounds and taken 80 to 100
feet down in 90 to 120 feet
between North and South
Point. Fish were caught on
spoons without dodgers,
dipseys and green flies.
Salmon, lake trout and cisco
were caught off Fisherman's
Island. Lake trout were 70 to
85 feet down in 120 feet and
cisco were 80 feet down. Pier
anglers caught rock bass andsub-legal smallmouth bass
on crawlers, minnows and
leeches.
Traverse City: Chinook
have been caught in the East
Bay. Most were running
about 80 feet down, but the
fish were scattered. Some
were caugh t just 50 feet
down. Numbers are low, but
the salmon are very good
size, up to 30 pounds. Lake
trout and the occasional
whitef ish were caught .
Smallmouth bass fishing was
decent in 40 to 50 feet. Try
drop-shotting with plastic
baits. In the West Bay, salmon
were caught by those trolling
along the west shore. Try
spoons or a Hoochie Mama
50 to 90 feet down in 90 to
200 feet of water. A few lake
trout were caught. Those
looking for smallmouth bass
will want to fish the drop-off
in 30 to 50 feet.
Elk River: Anglers have
caught smallmouth bass and
rock bass on plastics,
crawlers, and leeches. There
has been rumor of salmon or
steelhead being spotted near
the power dam.
Boardman River: Fishing
was slow with only a few
smallmouth bass or rock
bass taken. A couple steel-
head and salmon were in the
river but they will not stay
long with the warmer tem-
peratures.
Northeast Lower Peninsula
Fishing Report
Rogers City: Anglers are
getting a few chinook, steel-
head or lake trout but they
are working to get them. Try
straight out from the harbor,
south towards Swan Bay and
Adams Point or north and
west near the State Park andForty Mile Point. Most are
fishing halfway down in
waters 40 to 150 feet deep
with spoons, plugs and flash-
ers with squid or flies. Good
colors were blue and silver,
orange and silver, orange and
green, black and white, pur-
ple, green or chartreuse.
Presque Isle: The better
fishing was straight out from
the red can and north
between the two lighthouses
in 45 to 130 feet of water.
Rockport: Walleye were
caught however anglers need
to move around to find them.
Most are using crank baits
but crawler harnesses may
also be a good choice. The
fish are scattered throughout
the water column. Salmon
were caught 40 to 70 feet
down in 100 to 200 feet.
Spoons worked best.
Alpena: Most of the wall-
eye were caught both north
and south of the bay. The fish
are scattered throughout the
water column. Lake trout
were caught out near the
Humps. Anglers are trolling
deep with spin-glows behind
flashers.
Thunder Bay River: Gave
up a few smallmouth bass
and rock bass.
Harrisville: Few anglers
have been out. A couple chi-
nook were caught by those
casting spoons in the harbor.
This seems a bit early but the
cool water temperatures may
jump start the pier fishing.
Walleye seem to be moving in
from deeper water. More
boats are fishing north of the
harbor and near the Black
River. Late night was best for
walleye in 25 to 100 feet
when using spoons, crawler
harnesses and body baits.
Oscoda: Catch rates wereslow as the fish were scat-
tered.
Au Sable River: Steelhead
should be making their way
in especially with the cooler
water temperatures. Catfish
have been caught in good
numbers in the late evening.
Crawlers and minnows
worked best. Walleye catches
were slim and most of the
fish were on the small side. A
good number of smallmouth
bass are in the river.
Higgins Lake: Those
trolling spoons, body baits,
cowbells and rapalas contin-
ue to catch lake trout. Those
jigging Swedish pimples,
sand kickers and small
spoons just off the bottom
have also caught fish. Perch
anglers are still taking some
fish around Treasure Island
and the Sunken Island. Rock
bass are everywhere.
Houghton Lake: Catch
rates were slow but a few
walleye were caught. Cooler
water temperatures have the
bluegill in 6 to 8 feet.
Tawas: Those trolling are
heading out past Buoy No. 2
to waters 35 to 45 feet deep.
Some are fishing around
Tawas Point and up near Au
Sable Point in 80 feet. Walleye
were suspended 25 to 50 feet
down. In Tawas Bay, a few
walleye were caught on
crawler harnesses in 20 to 25
feet off Jerry's Marina.
Au Gres: Still has a good
number of walleye anglers. A
few limit catches were taken
by the die-hards. Some are
heading straight out from the
mouth of the river to waters
25 to 35 feet deep but catch
rates were slow. Others are
traveling anywhere between
2 and 9 miles south of Pointe
Au Gres. A few were perchfishing in 35 to 40 feet off the
hotel but most of the fish
caught were small.
Au Gres River: Is producing
a good number of catfish and
some freshwater drum.
Upper Peninsula Fishing
Report
DeTour: Anglers are catch-
ing chinook, Atlantic salmon
and lake trout between
Frying Pan Island, the light-
house and the #2 red can
near Drummond Island.
Good colors were white,green or any other color with
some white on it.
Drummond Island: Yellow
perch are good outside
Harbor Island in 8 to 10 feet.
Smallmouth bass have been
caught near Peck Island.
Most are trolling crawler har-
nesses in 12 to 14 feet.
Cedarville and Hessel:
Catch rates for perch picked
up around Haven Island in 8

WEXFORD COUNTY Two
Michigan conservation offi-
cers responded to a complaint
about a bear at approximately
11:30 p.m. Saturday in Wexford
Countys Selma Township, the
Michigan Department of
Natural Resources announced
today. Conservation Officers
Sam Koscinski and Holly
Pennoni arrived on scene to
find that a man had shot and
wounded a bear on his proper-
ty because he perceived the
bear to be a threat to his life.
Koscinksi and Pennoni subse-
quently tracked the bear and
shot and killed the animal at
approximately 2:45 a.m.
Sunday.
The bear was killed about
two miles from the area of a
bear attack on 12-year-old
Abby Wetherell that occurred
Thursday, Aug. 15, in Haring
Township, Wexford County. It
is uncertain whether the bear
killed Sunday is the same bear
involved in Thursdays attack.
Abby underwent surgery at
Munson Medical Center in
Traverse City. She was released
from the hospital today and is
recovering at her Haring
Township home.
The bears carcass has been
sent to the DNR Wildlife
Disease Laboratory in Lansing
for DNA and disease testing.
The animal will be checked
against fur and other DNA
samples lifted from Abbys
clothing and from the area of
Thursdays attack. Because of
the difficulty of extracting
DNA evidence and the time
required for processing tests,
results will take several days.
The bear killed Sunday may
not be the animal responsible
for Thursdays attack. The DNR
will continue to keep bear
traps in the area of the attack
and to monitor bear activity in
the area.
The DNR asks the public to
report bear sightings in the
area of the attack. Reports can
be made to the DNRs Report
All Poaching (RAP) Hotline,
800-292-7800, or the depart-
ments Cadillac Operations
Service Center at (231) 775-
9727. The black bear is a pro-
tected species under Michigan
law. The public is reminded
not to shoot a bear unless the
animal poses an immediate
threat.
Michigan has an estimated
black bear population of 8,000
to 10,000 bears with 90 percent
of the population in the Upper
Peninsula. There is an estab-
lished bear population in the
area of Wexford County where
Thursdays attack occurred.
Black bears are generally fear-
ful of humans and will usually
leave if they become aware
that people are present. Bear
attacks on human beings are
highly unusual, and in most
cases occur because a sow is
protecting her cubs. However,
there is no evidence that cubs
were present where the attack
on Abby occurred.
The DNR reminds those liv-
ing in areas where bears may
be present:
* To avoid surprising bears,
travel in small groups and
make noise.
* If you encounter a bear,
stand your ground and then
slowly back away. Do not turnaway. Do not show fear and
run. Do not play dead.
* Make yourself look bigger
and talk to the bear in a stern
voice.
* Fight back if actually
attacked with a backpack,
stick, or bare hands.
* Carry pepper spray, which
has been shown to be effective
in fending off bear attacks.

on living with bears, visit the
DNR website at www.michi-
gan.gov/bear.

FIFE LAKE Race fans
enjoyed another Flyin
Friday Night at the fast
three-eighths mile high
banked dirt oval of Cherry
Raceway. There was a full
show on hand featuring the
Auto Value UMP DIRTcar
Super Late Models, Weller
Truck Parts UMP DIRTcar
Modifieds, Pro Streets,
Factory Stocks, Four-
Cylinder Warriors, and
Crossroads Chevrolet
Compacts.
The nights main event fea-
tures were kicked off with a15-lap main event for the
Four-Cylinder Warriors. Russ
Carrier and Jeremy Wood
made up the front row.
However Arlie Cooper would
be the leader in the early
going. On lap 7 current
points leader Andrew Austin,
the Manton Marauder, would
take the lead after Cooper
was involved in a caution.
Except Cooper would not be
denied as he was able to fight
his way back to the front of
the field and take the lead on
lap 11 and continue on from
there to pick up the win.
Cooper, a 28-year old driv-er from Honor, was driving
the Grandpas Garage /
Saturn. Austin took second
place. Jeremy Tulick of
Cadillac, 16-year old Nick
Olds, and Jim Luhtanen
made up the rest of the top
five. The lone heat race was
won by Tulick.
The Crossroads Chevrolet
compacts were led out next
for their turn at a 15-lap fea-
ture. The front row was made
up of 14-year old Dalton
Bouschor and 16-year old
Ricky Wilson. The early lead
went to Bouschor who held
on until lap 4. That was whenWilson made the move to get
him to the lead. On lap 9,
though, defending track
champion Chris Casey found
his way to the front of the
field as the leader. However,
on lap 12 after a restart
Wilson was able to make
another key pass for the lead
and score the victory.
The Williamsburg driver
earned his sixth win of the
season in his Wilsons
Plumbing / Ford. Casey set-
tled for second. Andrea
Taghon, 11, Jimmie Brown,
and Bouschor rounded out
the top five. Casey won the
lone heat race.
The Pro Streets were the
next class to hit the raceway
for what was a 15-lap main
event. Defending track
champion Allen Oyer of
Mancelona and J.J. Arbour
made up the front row of the
field. Oyer wasted no time in
taking the lead after the
opening lap. He would run
well until lap 9 when Joe
Fisher was able to power his
way passed Oyer f or the lead
and went on unchallenged
from there to go on to get the
win.Fisher, the 44-year old
from Kingsley, got the win
behind the wheel of his T-R
Racing / Chevrolet. He fin-
ished just ahead of Oyer, who
wound up second. T. J.
Erickson, Jimmy Hiller, and
Jeff Chalker finished out the
top five finishers. Erickson
and Hiller picked up the heat
wins.
The Weller Truck Parts
UMP DIRTcar Modifieds
held a 20-lap A-Main which
was led out by Wayne Taghon
and Jeremy Metepenagen.
After the opening circuit it
was Metepenage n leadingthe field. A change would
happen, though, on lap 14
when 18-year James Clem
would make the pass on the
outside to charge to the lead
and he would never look
back from there, picking up
his first win of the season.
This was the first career
victory for the Kalkaska driv-
er in his Lach Transportation
/ Diamond Racecar.
Metepenagen was forced to
settle for the runner-up spot.
Two-time track champion
Larry Cade, John Goodrich,
and Darrell Lehn capped off
the top five. The heat racevictories went to Cade and
Dennis Taghon. Clem also
claimed victory in the four-
car dash and he was the fast
qualifier with a time of 15.23.
Factory Stocks also held a
20-lap main event which had
the front row consisting of
Dan Wierman and Josh
Hutchinson. Once the green
flag fell Hutchinson pulled
away as the leader. But on lap
4, 2011 track champion
Emery Smith took the lead
away. However on lap 9
Smith would get caught up in
a caution which put him to
the rear of the field and gave
the lead to Kevin Stricker,
who never relinquished the
position until the checkered
flag flew.
This was the eighth win of
the year for the 49-year old
from Traverse City in his
Stricker Racing / Chevrolet.
The second spot went to Peni
Lalonde of Lake City. Karl
McClellan, Jeremiah
Woebbking and Wierman
made up the rest of the top
five.
The final feature event to
roll out was courtesy of the
Auto Value UMP DIRTcarLate Models who went head
to head in a 20-lap shootout.
Andy Nickerson III and co-
defending track champion
Alex Beeman brought the
field down to the green flag.
Greg Gokey was actually the
early leader after lap 1. He
would lose the lead on lap 5
when Nickerson rode the top
side to take over the top spot.
However, five-time track
champion Eric Spangler
would have the true car to
beat as he took the lead on
lap 8 and never had to look
back from there as he gained
a great lead and picked upanother checkered flag.
The veteran 44-year old
driver from Lake City scored
the win in his Spangler
Heating & Cooling /
Mastersbilt. The second
place spot went to Nickerson.
Beeman, Butch Straight, and
Gokey completed the top
five. The preliminary heat
races were won by Steve
Nieuwenhuis and J.T.
Anderson. The four-car dash
was won by Gokey, and
Spangler set fast time in
qualifying with a time of
14.16.

EAST LANSING For
the fifth straight year,
Michigan ranked seventh
nationally in high school
sports participation,
according to statistics for
the 2012-13 school year
released recently by the
National Federation ofState High School
Associations. That level of
participation continued
to best Michigans nation-
al ranking for total num-
ber of residents of high
school age, which fell one
spot to ninth nationally in
2012.
Michigans participation
ranking was based on a
number of 304,438, with
130,009 girls and 174,429
boys taking part, and
included sports in which
the Michigan High School
Athletic Association does
not conduct postseason
tournaments. The totals
count students once for
each sport in which he or
she participates, meaning
students who are multi-
ple-sport athletes are
counted more than once.
Michigan girls partici-
pation remained seventh
nationally for the secondconsecutive year, while
the boys participation fig-
ure continued to rank
sixth. According to the lat-
est U.S. Census Bureau
figures from 2012,
Michigan ranks ninth in
both females and males
ages 14 through 17 after
ranking eighth for both in
2011.
Eight sports including
seven played by boys
moved up in their respec-
tive rankings, while seven
sports moved down their
lists. Total, Michigan
ranked ninth or higher
nationally in participation
in 26 of the 28 sports in
which the MHSAA con-
ducts a postseason tour-
nament (not counting
separately 8-player foot-
ball).
Basketball and boys
swimming and diving led
the improvement amongboys sports, both moving
up two spots boys bas-
ketball to fourth-most
participants nationally
and swimming and diving
up to seventh. Improving
one position in national
rank were boys bowling to
second, boys cross coun-
try to eighth, boys ice
hockey to third, boys
lacrosse to seventh and
boys soccer to eighth.
Only one boys sport
moved down in national
rank wrestling from fifth
to sixth-most participants.
Baseball (seventh), 11-
player football (fifth), 8-
player football (14th),
boys golf (sixth), boys ski-
ing (fourth), boys tennis
(fifth) and boys track and
field (sixth) held constant
with 2011-12 rankings.
Girls cross country also
jumped up two spots on
its national ranking list,from seventh to fifth in
2012-13. However, six girls
sports moved down their
respective lists: girls bas-
ketball from sixth to sev-
enth, girls golf from fifth
to sixth, girls lacrosse
from 12th to 13th, girls
soccer from eighth to
ninth, girls swimming and
diving also eighth to ninth
and girls tennis from third
to fourth. Girls bowling
(fourth), competitive
cheer (fifth), gymnastics
(12th), girls skiing
(fourth), softball (sev-
enth), girls track and field
(seventh) and volleyball
(fourth) repeated their
2011-12 national rank-
ings.
National participation
in high school sports in
2012-13 set a new record
for the 24th consecutive
year with 7,713,577 stu-
dents an increase of21,057 from the year
before taking part.
Girls participation also
set a record for the 24th
straight year, increasing
this time 15,190 partici-
pants to 3,222,723 total.
Boys participation
bounced back from its
2011-12 decrease, the first
in two decades, increasing
by 5,867 participants in
2012-13 for a total of
4,490,854 the second-
highest total on record for
boys national participa-
tion.
The MHSAA is a private,
not-for-profit corporation
of voluntary membership
by more than 1,500 public
and private senior high
schools and junior
high/middle schools
which exists to devel op
common rules for athletic
eligibility and competi-
tion. No government
funds or tax dollars sup-
port the MHSAA, which
was the first such associa-
tion nationally to not
accept membership dues
or tournament entry fees
from schools. Member
schools which enforce
these rules are permitted
to participate in MHSAA
tournaments, which
attract approximately 1.6million spectators each
year.

Crooked Tree Golf Club,
located in Petoskey, and a
member of the Boyne
Resorts collection of golf
courses, is receiving a faceliftby renowned golf course
architect, Arthur Hills, who is
redesigning holes 16, 17, and
18. Construction is expected
to begin in late August and
the course will remain open
for play on holes 1 through
15 during the construction
period.
Hills and his associates at
Hills & Forrest -
International Golf Course
Architect s have created a
plan to renovate Crooked
Tree Golf Club to make the
holes more playable.
Significant work is being
done to enhance the greens,which are being relocated on
holes 16 and 17 and remod-
eled on all three holes. Other
upgrades include a
decreased slope on the 16th
fairway and reshaping of the
17th fairway in order to
improve the lines of sight to
the greens. Bunker work on
the 18th hole is also part of
the project. Boyne Resorts
will debut the newly
designed holes in the spring
of 2014.
Hills is no stranger to
working with Boyne Resorts.
In the mid-90s, Hills collabo-
rated with Boyne Resortspresident of eastern opera-
tions, Stephen Kircher, in
designing the renowned Bay
Harbor Golf Club, and con-
structed his namesake
course, Arthur Hills, which
opened in 1999 at another
Boyne property, Boyne
Highlands Resort in Harbor
Springs.
We are honored to once
again have the opportunity
to work with Arthur Hills, a
true golf legend, said Bernie
Friedrich, Boyne Resorts
senior vice president of golf
and retail. Hills redesign of
Crooked Tree Golf Clubs fin-ishing holes will have a great
impact on the playability of
the course while maintain-
ing the aesthetics and beau-
ty for which Crooked Tree
Golf Club is known.
Crooked Tree Golf Club is
a hidden gem amongst
Michigan golf. Golfers dis-
covering this premier course
are rewarded with elevated
terrain and centuries-old
hardwoods, challenged with
blind shots and impeccable
greens, and are astonished
by scenic vistas and a stun-
ning location offering
breathtaking views of Lake
Michigans Little Traverse
Bay.
Crooked Tree Golf Club
was originally designed by
architect, Harry Bowers, and
opened in 1991.

Daily WordTHURSDAY: 1 Peter 5:6-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He
may exalt you at the proper time, 7 casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 8 Be of sober spirit, be on thealert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 But resist him, firm in yourfaith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.
FRIDAY: Ephesians 6:13-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to
resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, andhaving put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 inaddition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Andtake the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 With all prayer and petition pray at alltimes in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,
SATURDAY: James 4:5-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 5 Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: He jealous-
ly desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us? 6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, God is opposed to theproud, but gives grace to the humble. 7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to Godand He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
SUNDAY: Ephesians 4:23-29 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and put on
the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. 25 Therefore, laying asidefalsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. 26 Be angry, and yet do not sin; donot let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not give the devil an opportunity. 28 He who steals must steal no longer; butrather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need ofthe moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
MONDAY:Acts 26:15-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 15 And I said, Who are You, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom
you are persecuting. 16 But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister anda witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you; 17 rescuing you from theJewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, 18 to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness tolight and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who havebeen sanctified by faith in Me.
TUESDAY: Revelation 12:10-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, Now the salvation,
and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has beenthrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamband because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.
WEDNESDAY: Romans 8:35-39 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation,
or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, For Your sake we are being putto death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered. 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquerthrough Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present,nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love ofGod, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

DistlerGaylord Evangelical Free Church
Whats the most intimidating thing about me to Satan? NOTH-ING! In and of myself there is not one solitary thing that could inany way intimidate the Devil. If I were to try to thwart off Satan on
my own, I would be completely doomed. But the truth is that Satanis very intimidated by me. How can that be?
The answer is simple its because I have put my faith in thework of Jesus Christ accomplished through His death on the cross.What does that have to with Satan? Colossians 2:14-15 teaches usthat through His death on the cross, Jesus disarmed Satan and all
of His rulers of darkness. Through His death, Jesus paid the penaltyfor my sin and satisfied the wrath of a holy God against my sin.Because of the cross, I have been forgiven. Because of the cross, I
belong to God. Because of the cross, I have an intimate relationshipwith Jesus. Because of the cross, I have been given the free gift ofeternal life and now I live my life each day knowing for sure that I
am going to heaven.As a result, the Bible says in James 4:7 that I can resist the devil
and he must flee from me. I cant do that because of anythingabout me but I can do that because of who I am in Jesus Christ
through the cross. Its not about me its about the cross! The crosschanged everything. As a result, the one thing that intimidatesSatan the most about me is my faith in Jesus work on the cross! The
truth is that if you have not put your faith in what Jesus did for youthrough His death on the cross, then there is nothing about youthat can in any way, shape or form intimidate Satan. Its the cross
or its nothing!
Thoughts on...Whats the mostintimidating thing about you to Satan?
I don't listen to rumors about other people.
Don Mapes, Alanson
I know the word of God is true, so I know
anything the enemy tries to do to me will
defeat the enemies purpose and I know it
intimidates him. God is faithful to his
word.
Betty Jackson, Petoskey
The most intimidating thing about me to
Satan is the strong Christian friends and
family I have around me and the knowl-
edge that I am a son of God and through
that heritage I can come against him in the
name of my Father.
Phil Goldsmith, Alanson
(J) When I pray.
(B) Because I Know he's already been defeat-
ed and I let him know it.
