The Cardinals' super sophomore setter

served up 37 assists
with 12 digs and
was lethal from the
line, launching five
aces in the heartbreaking 3-2 loss to
Leland in the Class
D semifinals.
Volleyball
Onaway in Final Four,

ousted in state semi-finals
By Ben Murphy
The first set of Friday's
class 'D' state semi-final at
Battle Creek's Kellogg Arena
was Onaway volleyball at its
best. The fifth set was a
painful time to have one of
its worst. The Lady Cardinals
lost that fifth set, giving topranked Leland a berth in the
state finals with a 10-25, 2518, 25-20, 21-25 and 15-0 victory.
I don't have an explanation for it, really, Onaway
head coach Steve Watson
said of the final set. We
fought tooth and nail the
whole match and couldn't
hold the first serve. Things
just kind of compounded for
us. It was a bad set at a really
bad time.
Leland's Maddie Trumbull
opened the fifth set with two
early kills to put the Lady
Comets up 3-0. Erica Ongaro
drilled an ace from there to
make it 4-0, leading to an
Onaway timeout.
Trumbull, who finished
with a game-high 21 kills
added a tip-kill out of the
timeout, and Ongaro served
up her second ace of the set
to make it 6-0. Ongaro finished with nine aces in the
game.
Onaway nearly made it 6-1
on two separate occasions,
but both times Leland
defenders dove to the
ground, for improbable digs.

Trumbell took advantage,
drilling yet another kill to
give Leland control of the set
at 7-0.
It's one of those things
where if you go back and look
at the tape, there's a couple
opportunities there in the
first three or four points that
you can maybe land a point,
Watson said. We just needed
a stop, but after we didn't get
them it was like a snowball.
Ongaro added two more
aces to make it 9-0, and
despite
Onaway
taking
another timeout, the ninthranked Cardinals weren't
able to mount a comeback.
Trumbell added one more
kill down the stretch, with
Ongaro also serving one last
ace and the game finished on
an Onaway attack error.
I felt like we had a good
chance to win today, and I
felt like we had a good
chance to win tomorrow,
Watson said. We have to
execute all the time and you
have to hope thats enough,
but it wasnt enough. It (the
effort) was great. We fought
from the beginning to end.
That's all we do. We fight, we
work hard and hope its
enough. Most nights it is but
today it wasn't.
The Cardinals opened the
contest in dominating fashion. A mix of 11 team kills by
Onaway and eight Leland
errors helped the Cards take

the set 25-10.
Alison LaFave got the set
going with a quick spike, with
Ashley LaLonde and Lexi
Szymoniak also adding early
kills to put the Cards up 3-1.
Already leading the set 6-2,
LaLonde jumped up for a
partial block, getting just
enough of the ball to slow the
Leland attack down, leading
to a spike by Taylor Ehrke to
increase the lead to 7-2.
A block by Morganne
Badgero made it 9-2 and
Onaway took its biggest lead
of the set at 19-6 on an ace by
Jade Galer.
Leland mounted a mini
comeback to close the gap to
21-10 but a spike by Badgero
made it 22-10, a thunderous
spike by Szymoniak made it
23-10, and after an attack
error by Leland, Taylor Ehrke
closed the set out with an ace
at 25-10.
We talked about after the
first set we knew we weren't
going to win it like that,
Watson said. The teams at
this level are all really good
and they aren't going to go
away. I was even surprised
about how the first one went.
Give Leland credit for coming up with the early lead in
the second set.
The second and third sets
were mirror images of each
other. Leland took an early
lead in both, and kept a slim
lead throughout.
The Comets took an early
4-1 lead in the second set,
and still led 15-11 after an
Onaway net foul. Szymoniak
drilled a spike to make it 1512, but Leland would
increase its lead to 21-15.
Badgero would add a point

for the Cardinals by flipping
the ball over a Leland block
attempt to bring the score to
21-16, but Onaway could
only add two more points the
rest of the set as Leland won
it 25-18.
Leland jumped to a 5-1
lead in the third set on three
aces by Ongaro, but Onaway
would see itself tied with the
Comets at 12-all after a spike
by Arkwood, though Leland
went on an 8-2 scoring run to
pull ahead 20-14.

Badgero served an ace to
close the gap to 21-18 but
Leland jump its lead back to
24-18, hanging on for the 2520 set win.
Onaway started the fourth
set with a 6-4 lead but Leland
stormed back to take a lead
at 8-7 and pulled ahead as
much as 15-10.
Szymoniak got a kill to
make it 15-11, and after a

it 15-12, Szymoniak served

an ace to make the score 1513.
Onaway didn't pull back
ahead until 20-19 though,
getting a spike by Szymoniak.
Arkwood blocked an incoming free-ball to put the
Cardinals in command of the
set at 23-20, with Arkwood
drilling a spike for the final
point of the set as well, to
give Onaway the 25-21 set
win.
I feel bad for the seniors,
Watson said. We had a lot of
goals and we got a lot of
them. They worked hard to
get here, we just have to go
home a day early.
Szymoniak finished with
16 kills, 21 digs, two aces and
one block, Arkwood had 14
kills, 15 digs and a block,
Badgero had seven kills, 11
digs, two assists and one
block, LaFave had seven kills
and three digs, Ehrke had
three kills and led the team in
passing with 37 assists while
adding 12 digs. Ehrke also
had five aces. Jade Galer had
14 digs and one ace and
Ashley LaLonde had four digs
and two aces.

Bucknell at University of Michigan
Petoskeys Starkey and Pellstons Haas

return to play against Wolverines
By Ben Murphy
The University of Michigan
may have been the home
team for its game with
Bucknell on Monday, Nov. 17,
but for two Bison players at
least, the game served as a
homecoming as well. Bison
junior Chris Hass is a Pellston
graduate, while senior forward Cory Starkey graduated
from Petoskey.
Playing at Michigan was a
dream come true, Hass said.
Growing up, I always went
to (Michigan head coach
happy at all with how it

went, Hass said. I wanted to
go in there and compete and
give Michigan a run for their
money and we didn't do that
at all. Yeah, I hit some shots
but I'd much rather compete
as a team than shoot well
individually.
Still, the junior is enjoying
his time as a Bison. He realizes just how great playing at
the top collegiate level is.
Bucknell has been great,
Hass said. My biggest dream
and goal playing basketball
was to play at the division
one level and now that it's
here and I'm a contributor it
almost feels surreal. Bucknell
is a great fit with great academics that will benefit me
for the rest of my life.
I would really like to play
in the NCAA tournament
again, he added. We went
my freshman year and it was
amazing. That is really my
only hope for the rest of my
collegiate career.
Former Petoskey High
School
standout,
Cory
Starkey saw limited time on
the floor as a freshman and
sophomore, but towards the
end of his junior season, saw
his minutes increased as
Bucknell went with bigger
lineups on the court. Starkey
finished the season averaging 3.2 points a game and
averaged 3.9 rebounds, while
shooting 61.8 percent from
the floor. In the game at
Michigan Starkey played 17
minutes,
logging
three
rebounds and three assists.
It was a really cool experience
playing
against
Michigan, Starkey said.
Growing up, I've always
n't recruit Hass, Bucknell

head coach Dave Paulsen is
more than happy to have him
suit up.
He's a very dynamic scorer and has ability to shoot the
three, pull-up jumper or get
to the rim, Paulsen said.
He's a very coachable young
man and just a great asset to
our program in every way.

John) Beilein's camps and I
always wished to go there, it
was great to be able to play
there at least. I had lots of
friends and family from
school, church and community come down and support
us, which was great.
While the Wolverines did-
Patriot League and averaged

11.1 points a game. In the
game at Michigan, Hass
starred for the Bison, netting
21 points in 32 minutes by
hitting five-of-eight three

dreamed about playing on a
stage like that so it was special. Playing in Pennsylvania
makes it hard for people to
make it to my games, so this
was a chance for a lot of
friends and family who have
supported me to come to a
game. I knew several people
in the Michigan student section and saw a lot of familiar
faces throughout the crowd
which made it a surreal
opportunity. I am truly
blessed to have an opportunity like that and I know I
wouldn't have made it there
if it weren't for a lot of people
that were in the seats watching me play.
Though Starkey may not
always show up with big
numbers on the stat sheet, he
plays a vital role on the team.
He's a captain for us this
year and is an extremely hard
young
man,
working
Paulsen said. He's worked
his way into being a key contributor for us. He's one of
the hardest working players
and he leads by example.
He's a tremendous rebounder and just a great character
person, is doing well academically and is a joy to
coach.
As much as Starkey
enjoyed playing at Crisler
Arena, he had hoped for a
better result for the team as
well.
Unfortunately, we did not
have the results that our
team would have hoped and
that we think we are capable
of, he said. Despite playing
an elite opponent we went
into the game with the mindset to win and not accomplishing that was a disappointment. However, this
was a good opportunity for
us to see what we need to
work on and to improve. In
the long run, playing games
like this will make us a better
team.
With the months winding
down on his final collegiate
season, Starkey reflected a bit
on his career as a Bison. After
being a starter in high school,
Bucknell's Cory Starkey looks to make a play from the

top of the key. PHOTO BY LARRY TRACY
he found himself in a battle
just to get minutes during
games in college.
My career has certainly
had ups and downs, he said.
Division one basketball is
extremely demanding and
not always playing as much
as I would have liked was difficult for me but I had some
really good experiences
through it all. Being able to
persevere through tough
times was very difficult but
was extremely rewarding. At
the end of my career I will be
able to walk away with having been a part of some
things I never thought I
would have the opportunity
to do, including appearances
in the NCAA and NIT tournaments. I will also be able to
walk away with a group of
teammates that I am very
close with and can call my
close friends, a great education and four years of unforgettable college basketball
experiences.
Though his time in college
may be running out, that
doesn't mean Starkey doesn't want to make the most of
it.
The most important goal
of the year for me is another
Patriot League champi-
onship and NCAA tournament appearance, he said.

Short of this will absolutely
be a disappointment, our
team has a long way to go
before we are capable of this
but I think if our team sticks
together and push each other
to get better every day we will
be capable of accomplishing
this.
Paulsen
himself
has
Michigan ties, serving as the
Wolverines' graduate assistant coach under Steve
Fisher in 1989-90. The
Wolverines went 23-8 that
year and reached the second
round of the NCAA tournament.
Unfortunately we didn't
have a fun homecoming,
Paulsen said. We got handled pretty easily by the
Wolverines but I think they're
a good team so it was a good
challenge for us and great for
(Hass and Starkey) to get
back to playing in front of
their family and friends.
I couldn't be happier to
have these two guys on our
team, Paulsen added. They
really just embody what is
great about collegiate athletics. They are what's great
about collegiate athletics and
they're fun to coach.

Ramblers push
Ithaca to the limit
By Chris Fiel
Ithaca 20, Boyne City 16

MIDLAND -- It was the
battle of the unbeatens. 12-0
versus 12-0. A big time high
school contest that featured
two evenly matched teams,
and it all came down to one
last drive, one last stand.
In the end, the Ithaca
defense dug deep and managed to keep the driving
Ramblers out of the endzone
after Boyne marched inside
the Yellowjacket 10-yard line,
giving Ithaca a hard fought
20-16 Division 6 state semifinal victory in Midland.
With
the
win,
the
Yellowjackets kept their
nation best winning streak
alive, extending it to 69
games, while improving to
13-0, while the Ramblers
tasted defeat for the first time
this season as they close out
a very successful 12-1 campaign.
The final Rambler drive
began at their own 22 yard
line with 3:12 remaining in
regulation
following
a
Yellowjacket punt.
Maceo Vroman picked up
nine yards on the first play,
moving Boyne to the 31 yards
line, setting the Ramblers up
for a second and one.
Malik Smith then rumbled
to the Ithaca 47 on the next
play, moving the chains and
giving the Ramblers a first
down.
Boyne then picked up
another couple of yards via
Vroman to the Yellowjacket
45 before calling timeout
with 1:32 to go in the game.
An incomplete pass followed the timeout, setting up
fourth and eight, with just
1:21 remaining. Boyne quarterback then found a leaping
Cole Butler near the first
down marker. After an official's timeout for a measurement, the Rambler drive was
still in business as Butler had
picked up enough yardage
for the first down.
Boyne then handed off to
Mac Alexander on the next
play, and as he darted
towards the right sideline, he
could cut back and race
down to the Ithaca eight yard
line with just over one
minute to go.
The Ramblers would then
pick up one yard on first
down before calling their

final timeout.
Two plays later and Boyne
would
move
to
the
Yellowjacket 4-yard line,
faced with a 4th and goal, the
Ramblers went to Vroman on
a sweep that was stuffed by
Ithaca in the backfield, bringing him down near the seven
yard line and taking over on
downs with 13.6 seconds
remaining. The Yellowjackets
would then kneel on their
next play to run out the
clock.
Im really proud of the
kids, they put a ton of work
into the offseason and I think
our program is headed in the
right direction, Boyne City
coach David Hills said. I
think weve established a
kind of work ethic in the offseason thats going to allow
us to continue to compete at
these games.
Following a punt on the
Ramblers first possession of
the contest, Ithaca took over
at their own 45 yard line and
proceeded to move the ball
down to the Boyne City 8yard line. Facing a fourth and
seven, the Yellowjackets went
for it, only to have Boynes
Dalton Gardner pick off Jake
Smiths pass near the goalline
and return it to the BC 8-yard
line.
With the Rambler offense
back on the field, Boyne
handed off to Luke Sage and
the junior moved the ball to
the 10-yard line.
Boyne then looked to
Vroman, and the senior
speedster picked up a
Rambler first down as he
motored to the Ithaca 33yard line and after a Mac
Alexander gain of six, Vroman
would then pick up 21 yards
on the next play, using a good
block by Sage to move BC to
the 6-yard line.
One play later and Vroman
would race into the end zone
for touchdown with 1:09 left
in the first quarter, a successful Gardner extra point and
the Ramblers held a 7-0 lead.
The Ramblers would then
recover the ensuing kickoff as
a member of the Yellowjacket
receiving team was unable to
hang onto the ball, giving
Boyne possession at the
Ithaca 19-yard line and following a couple of plays the
quarter would end with the
Ramblers at the 17.

first score of the game, giving Boyne City a 7-0 lead. (PHOTO BY CINDA SHUMAKER)
Boyne would begin the
second quarter with Vroman
moving them to the 14, setting up a 4th and 5, where
Cuper would get the call on a
keeper and he would just get
over the nine yard line for a
first down.
Three plays later and
Vroman would pick up his
second score of the afternoon as he maneuvered
around the left side on a
sweep and following another
Gardner extra point, Boyne
City was up 14-0 with 9:26 to
go in the first half.
The Yellowjackets would
then show what go them
there, as Smith would march
his team down the field, mixing it up with passing plays
and a few keepers of his own
to get to the Rambler 5-yard
line with just about two minutes remaining in the second
quarter.
Smith would then connect
with Spence DeMull on a
sliding catch in the back of
the endzone with 1:56 to go
in the half, and following a
failed conversion attempt,
the Yellowjackets pulled to
within 14-6.
Following intermission,
Ithaca would begin with the
ball, the Ramblers brought
the defense as Boyne forced
the Yellowjacket quarterback
to scramble and eventually
Sage would corral Smith in
the endzone for a safety and
extend the Boyne City lead to
16-6, just under a minute
into the third quarter.
That would be all the scoring the Ramblers would
muster in the half though as
the Ithaca defense would
then limit Boynes offense
until the final drive.

first on a short field following
a bad snap on a Rambler
punt, giving the Yellowjackets
possession on the BC 20-yard
line, and following a successful conversion, the Rambler
lead would be cut to 16-14
with 7:38 left in the third
quarter.
Smith would then strike
again with 36.2 seconds on a
keeper with left in the third,
the conversion was no good,
making the score 20-16
Ithaca.
Our defense played great,
I thought we contained them
and held them to a score that
quite honestly we should
have been able to beat,
coach Hills noted. We had
our chance late, we didnt
play well offensively for most
of the second half, but had a
couple of drives late and gave
ourselves a shot.
Offensively
for
the
Ramblers, Vroman led the
way with 116 yards rushing
on 15 attempts and two
touchdowns, while also hauling in one pass for seven
yards.

tackles, while Cuper and
Tanner Kruzel each
chipped in with seven
stops, with one of Cupers
going for a loss.
Sage recorded a safety,
while Gardner and Alexander
each had interceptions.
Boyne City finishes the
season at 12-1.
Alexander and Sage also

added 43 and 21 yards,
respectfully on the ground.
Cuper finished 4-of-7 passing for 28 yards and an interception.
On the defensive side, Sage
and Alexander each finished
with 10 tackles apiece, with

loss. Logan Sulak added eight

Chiefs open with explosive win

Jeannotte and Stompky lead offensive assault in shutout over scrappy Petoskey
By Mike Dunn
CHEBOYGAN The 201415 season debut on ice for
the Cheboygan hockey team
couldnt have gone much
better. The high-powered
Chiefs of Coach Craig Coxe
turned up the throttle on the
intensity meter and kept
continual pressure on neighboring rival Petoskey in an
impressive 6-0 triumph on
Wednesday, Nov. 19.
Flying forwards Adam
The Jet Jeannotte and the
Steamroller, senior Josh
Stempky, tallied two goals
apiece in the victory and
strong-striding senior D.J.

Sayer struck for a goal and
two assists to lead the attack.
Stempky didnt wait long to
light the scoring lamp for the
first time, propelling a
whistling wrist shot past the
outstretched
glove
of
goalie
Adam
Petoskey
McCain on a breakaway less
than 30 seconds into the new
season. It was a taste of
things to come.
Cheboygan would end up
out-shooting the Northmen
46-15 in the contest.
Stempky scored his other
goal in the third period with a
laser blast and the dangerous
Jeannotte generated both of

his goals in the final period.
Sayers made the twine dance
in the back of the net with a
one-timer in the second period and the Spiderman, sophomore Parker James, put one
home in the second period as
well.
Stempky had an assist to
go with his two goals, Juniors
Craig Bongard and Cole
Williams each recorded an
assist along with senior
Gavin
defenseman
Armstrong.
Cooper Kelly was sterling
in the nets for the Chiefs,
turning back all 15 shots
one home later in the period

to make it 6-2. Freshman
Max Paull fed Sayers a pretty
pass to set up the goal and
get an assist for the first varsity point of his career.
Defenseman
Gavin
Armstrong had a solid performance for the Chiefs.
Max Stebbins notched a
hat trick for the visiting
Vikings.
Cheboygans can and bottle drive held over the weekend was a big success. Many
fans brought returnables to
the game against Cadillac,
and many people also
brought
returnables
to
Family Fare in Cheboygan

the next day. More than
$1,000 was raised during this
fundraiser thanks to the great
effort by the players' families
and the community. The
Blueliners would like to

We're going to lose six
seniors but we've done
something in Onaway that
no other team at the school
has done, making it to the
semifinals in two of three
years, Watson said. We had
some losses early in the season but we always had our
goals of winning conference
and getting down here.
The Cardinals did in fact
win their third Ski Valley
Conference championship,
with an unblemished record.
Then added district, regional
and quarterfinal wins.
We decided after we won
that quarterfinal match
(against Stephenson Nov. 18)
directed his way.

ON FRIDAY, Nov. 21, the
Chiefs played host to highpowered Northern Michigan
Hockey League foe Cadillac
and suffered a 6-2 setback.
The Chiefs generated 26
shots on net in the loss but

and we reassessed our goals,
Watson said. All of us decided we weren't going down

You set a goal to do this and

It takes a lot of guts to do
this.
After the pain of losing in
the state semi-finals subsides, Watson knows what his
team accomplished is something special.

I don't know what the rest
of the state thinks, especially
south of M-55, but how can

DNR Fishing Tip
Where to find northern

pike in Michigan
Most places in the state
are seeing pretty cold temperatures, but despite that
fishing for northern pike will
continue to pick up. Pike are
extremely popular during
the ice fishing season but are
readily available throughout
much of the year.
There are many notable

northern pike fisheries
located
throughout
Michigan, including on
Muskegon, Portage and
Manistee lakes and also
Michigamme and Houghton
lakes. But this species can be
found in many lakes and vir-
tually all larger rivers in the

state.
Please note there are
many regulations for northern pike regarding minimum size and possession
limit. Be sure to read up on
this species in the 2014
Michigan Fishing Guide.

Blue Devil four compete at state

Weir, Woods, Hope and Davis represent Gaylord gals in D3 state finals
By Mike Dunn
YPSILANTI Four intrepid
swimmers represented the
Gaylord girls in the supertough field of the Division III
state swimming and diving
championships held over the
weekend
at
Oakland
University.
Seniors Bianca Weir and
Cierra Woods competed in
two individual events apiece
and the ladies also teamed
with freshman Danielle Hope
and sophomore Stephanie
Davis to vie in the 200

freestyle relay.
Weir had the top finish for
Gaylord, taking a very
respectable 21st place overall
in the 200 individual medley,
finishing in a time of 2:21.7.
Bianca also earned 27th
place in the 100 backstroke

with a solid time of 1:13.53.
Woods claimed 28th place
in the super-fast 50 freestyle
event, burning the water for a
time of 26.12 seconds. Sierra
also showed up strong in the
grueling 500 free, taking 31st
overall in a time of 5:45.66.

The foursome of Weir,
Woods, Hope and Davis
teamed to take 26th place in
the 200 relay, finishing in a
fast time of 1:47.31.
It was the final competition of what has been an out-
standing prep career on the

water for both Weir and
Woods. The ladies each
earned their berth at state in
two events and the relay and
got to go out in style, racing
against the best swimmers in
the state in the biggest meet.

DNR seeks input on wolf management

Feedback requested as DNR updates 2008 Wolf Plan for state
The Michigan Department
of Natural Resources (DNR)
is updating the 2008
Michigan Wolf Management
Plan and is seeking comment
on the implementation of the
plan. The plan, and more
specifically the four principal
goals within the plan, has
guided wolf management in
Michigan for the last six
years.
During this time, the
United States Fish and
Wildlife Service determined
that the wolf population in
the western Great Lakes
region (including Michigan)

had recovered and the
species no longer required
the protection of the Federal
Endangered Species Act
(ESA). After the removal from
the ESA, the State of
Michigan had full management authority for wolves.
The Wolf Management
Plan was created using
extensive public input to
identify important issues and
assess
public
attitudes
towards wolves and their
management, as well as a
review of the biological and
social science on wolves. The

four principal goals within
the plan are:
maintain a viable wolf
population;
facilitate
wolf-related
benefits;
minimize
wolf-related
conflicts;
and conduct sciencebased and socially acceptable management of wolves.
These goals will remain the
same in the updated plan.
The update will include
reviewing scientific literature
and including of new infor-
mation, evaluating implementation based on the

action items in the plan,
updating action items, and
addressing outdated information or clarifications that
may be needed.
The DNR is seeking comment from those interested
in wolf management to aid in
the evaluation of plan implementation so far. Review of
the plan update will occur in
two distinct phases. The first
phase will consist of a 30-day
period in which interested
parties, DNR staff members
Natural
Resources
and
Commission members can
provide comment on the
implementation of actions in
the 2008 Plan. The second
phase will be a 30-day period
to comment on the Draft
Updated Plan before it goes
to the Natural Resource
Commission for endorsement and the DNR director
for signature.
The Phase 1 electronic survey is now open (www.surv e y m o n k e y. c o m / s / w o l f planupdate). The survey is
structured around 12 strate-
gic goals and corresponding

actions within the 2008 plan.
Those interested in wolf
management are encouraged
to provide input. Comments
will be accepted from now to
Dec. 11. Those unable to participate in this survey electronically are asked to contact the DNR Wildlife
Division at 517-284-9453 to
receive a paper survey. The
DNR hopes to have the wolf
plan update completed by
spring of 2015.
DNR to allow deer DNR investigates Oregon bait

feeding in U.P.
supplier
Early supplemental feeding is
approved because of heavy snowfall
across U.P.
Since the arrival of heavy
snowfall across Michigan's
Upper
Peninsula,
the
Department of Natural
Resources has been monitoring accumulated snow
depths for potential impacts
to wildlife and assessing the
possibility of allowing early
supplemental feeding of
deer.
With the current forecast
indicating snow will continue to accumulate at accelerated rates in the coming
month, DNR officials have
determined that supplemental feeding by permit
will be allowed across the
entire Upper Peninsula
starting Monday, Dec. 15.
"The snow in the U.P. just
keeps coming and it
appears that we will be hitting the snow depth triggers
for supplemental feeding
about a month earlier than
normal," said DNR Wildlife
Division chief Russ Mason.
"The U.P. has had record low
temperatures and ridiculously heavy snowfall, with
all indications pointing
toward the onset of a third
difficult winter for deer.
Continuously severe winter
conditions of this magnitude haven't occurred in the
region since the early
1970s."
Supplemental feeding of
deer is usually allowed on

private land in the northern
U.P. counties along Lake
Superior beginning in early
January and in the southern
counties if accumulated
snowfall meets established
minimum depths by midJanuary. However, with
snow accumulating so
quickly across the entire
peninsula,
the
DNR's
Director Keith Creagh will
issue an emergency order
allowing feeding to begin at
an earlier date for the 20142015 season.
According to Mason, the
DNR is working to create
additional natural food
sources on public land, and
the
Forest
Resources
Division is working with
timber jobbers to leave tree
tops at logging sites for deer
browse this winter.
Private landowners who
wish to help in these natural
food source efforts are
encouraged to cut firewood
now and leave the downed
trees as forage and cover for
deer and other wildlife.
"We understand that citizens want to help deer during difficult times, however,
it is important to receive a
permit and follow the feeding guidelines," Mason said.
"The potential of disease
spread and the creation of
predator sinks are of special

concern. Landowners who
apply for permits will
receive detailed information and instruction from
DNR staff on the feeding
regulations and guidelines."
Easily digestible food
sources most beneficial for
feeding deer include grains,
second-cut alfalfa, clover,
and pelletized deer food.
Although deer make use of
apples, potatoes, sugar
beets, carrots, and many
other foods during summer
and fall, these provide little
benefit for deer during winter conditions and are not
legal for supplemental feeding under permits.
The recreational feeding
of wildlife is also allowed on
private land in the Upper
Peninsula year-round, provided the feed is placed
within 100 yards of a residence and the total amount
of feed does not exceed two
gallons at any time. The feed
must be scattered on the
ground and must be at least
100 yards from areas accessible by livestock.
Full details on supplemental and recreational
feeding rules and regulations can be found online at
www.michigan.gov/dnrlaws.
Company sends shipment of uncertified

Pacific herring to Saugatuck
SAUGATUCK A bait supplier in Oregon has pled
guilty and paid a $2,000 settlement for shipping uncertified Pacific herring bait into
Michigan. The uncertified
bait poses a disease risk to
Michigan waters as it is a
known carrier of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus
(VHSv).
In May, the Department of
Natural Resources' Great
Lakes Enforcement Unit
began investigating a tip that
a sports shop in Saugatuck,
Michigan, had received a
shipment of Pacific herring
from Crowes Bait in Oregon.
Earlier in 2014, Crowes Bait
had contacted the DNR
Fisheries Division to inquire
about Michigan's requirements to ship Pacific herring
into
the
state. When
informed the bait would first
have to be treated and certified as VHS-free by Michigan
standards, Crowes Bait indicated to the DNR it would be
too costly to sell the Pacific
herring bait in Michigan.
Crowes Bait subsequently
was sold to a new owner. The
previous owner, Mike Culver,
proceeded to open a new
business called Oregon Bait,
and then sold the Pacific herring bait under the Crowes
Bait label.
That tip led to an investigation of the Saugatuck sports
shop, where conservation
officers from the Great Lakes
Enforcement Unit and from

District 7 seized 273 packages of Pacific herring sold by
Crowes Bait in containers
that were labeled "worms."
Seized invoices provided evidence of the company name
being changed from Crowes
Bait to Oregon Bait after the
company had contacted the
department to inquire about
certification standards.
DNR
Great
Lakes
Enforcement Unit conservation
officers
contacted
agents from the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and the
National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric Administration
and requested assistance to
conduct interviews with officials from Oregon Bait in
Oregon. Federal agents interviewed officials at the company who admitted to shipping the uncertified bait into
Michigan in falsely labeled
containers. Based on the
investigation conducted by
officers from the Michigan
DNR's
Great
Lakes
Enforcement Unit, NOAA
and the USFWS, NOAA's
Fisheries Office of law
enforcement unit charged
Oregon Bait and a $2,000 settlement was assessed.
The DNR also was assisted
by the Molecular Ecology Lab
at Michigan State University,
where verification was made
through DNA analysis that
the bait shipped into
Michigan was Pacific herring.
The sports shop in

Saugatuck was not charged
as the supplier had provided
false information to the
sports shop indicating that it
was Michigan-certified bait.
"This case is a great example of how our Great Lakes
Enforcement Unit works
every day to protect the Great
Lakes from disease and
aquatic invasive species
threats," said DNR Law
Enforcement Chief Gary
Hagler.
"Our
officers
responded quickly to this
threat and helped lead a
methodical
investigation
that resulted in a prosecution
of a bait supplier trying to
work around the rules - rules
that were put in place to help
protect our fisheries resource
from further spread of VHS."
VHS is an extremely serious viral disease of fresh and
saltwater fish. It recently has
spread into the Great Lakes
region of the United States
and Canada. VHS virus has
been found in Lake Huron,
Lake St. Clair, Lake Erie, Lake
Ontario, Lake Michigan and
the St. Lawrence River in New
York. The virus also has
infected several inland lakes
in New York, Michigan and
Wisconsin. The disease can
cause large-scale fish kills
and have severe economic
consequences. For more

When the next-generation Chevrolet Volt debuts at the North American International Auto Show in
January, it will feature an all-new Voltec extended range electric vehicle (EREV) propulsion system
substantially developed from Volt owners including data collected on their driving behaviors.
PHOTO " GENERAL MOTORS."
When the next-generation Chevrolet Volt debuts at the

North American International Auto Show in January, it
will feature an all-new Voltec extended range electric
vehicle (EREV) propulsion system substantially developed from Volt owners including data collected on their
driving behaviors. The Voltec system includes the battery, drive unit, range-extending engine and power electronics. The new system will be more efficient and offer
greater EV range and fuel economy compared to the current generation.
Our Volt owners truly love the EV driving experience,
with more than 80 percent of all trips being completed
without using any gasoline. Weve used their real-world
experiences to define the next generation Chevrolet
Volt, said Alan Batey, head of global Chevrolet. By putting our Volt owners at the center of what we do and
leveraging our electrification engineering leadership,
weve been able to raise the bar and will exceed their
expectations with the new Volt.
General Motors industry-leading battery technology
has been improved for the next-generation Volt. Revised
cell chemistry, developed in conjunction with LG Chem,
increases storage capacity by 20 percent on a volume
basis when compared to the original cell, while the number of cells decreases from 288 to 192. The cells are positioned lower in the pack for improved (lower) center of
gravity and the overall mass of the pack has decreased by
almost 30 pounds (13 kg).
Approximately 20 million battery cells have been produced for the more than 69,000 Chevrolet Volts on the
road today with industry-leading quality levels of less
than two problems per million cells produced. The battery system continues to use the Volts industry-leading
active thermal control system that maintains electric
range over the Volts life.
The current generation Volts battery has proven to
provide our owners exceptional performance when it
comes to quality and reliability, said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM Powertrains electrification engineering team.
Based on a GM study of more than 300 model year
2011 and 2012 Volts in service in California for more than
30 months, many owners are exceeding the EPA-rated
label of 35 miles of EV range per full charge, with about
15 percent surpassing 40 miles of range. Current generation Volt owners have accumulated more than 600 million EV miles.
It would have been simple for us to tweak our existing
battery to provide nominally increased range, but thats
not what our customers want, said Nitz. So our team

created a new battery system that will exceed the performance expectations of most of our owners.
EV range estimates will be revealed in January at the
North American International Auto Show in Detroit. GM
will manufacture the Volt battery pack at its battery
assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich.
Like the battery system, the next-generation Volts
drive unit was reengineered with a focus on increased
efficiency and performance, improved packaging and
reduced noise and vibration characteristics. The twomotor drive unit operates approximately 5 to 12 percent
more efficiently and weighs 100 pounds (45 kg) less than
the current system.
The Traction Power Inverter Module, which manages
power flow between the battery and the electric drive
motors, has been directly built into the drive unit to
reduce mass, size and build complexity while further
improving efficiency.
The boost in performance comes from both motors
operating together in more driving scenarios, in both EV
and extended-range operation. The ability to use both
motors helps deliver more than 20 percent improvement
in electric acceleration. GM engineers designed the
Voltec electric motors to use significantly less rare earth
materials. One motor uses no rare earth-type magnets at
all. The new drive unit will be manufactured at GMs
Powertrain plant in Warren, Mich.
Energy for extended-range operation comes from an
all-new, high-efficiency 1.5L 4-cylinder engine. The
engine features a direct injection fuel system, high-compression ratio of 12.5:1, cooled exhaust gas recirculation
and a variable displacement oil pump. The Voltec range
extender runs on regular unleaded fuel.
Using the 1.5L engine as the range extender assures
owners they can go anywhere, anytime without having to
worry about whether they have enough power to go
through the Rocky Mountains or on a spontaneous
weekend getaway, Nitz said. Its all about keeping the
promise that the Volt is a no-compromise electric vehicle.
The 1.5L engine will be manufactured at GMs Toluca,
Mexico engine plant for the first year of production, then
shift to the Flint, Mich. engine plant. Since its introduction in late 2010, the Volt has established southeast
Michigan as the hub of vehicle electrification development and manufacturing. The next-generation Volt will
feature approximately 70 percent U.S. and Canadian
components within its first year of production, a nearly
20 percent increase from the first-generation, Nitz said.

Reader Advisory: the National Trade
Association we belong to has purchased some classifieds in our
paper. Determining the value of their
service or product is advised by this
publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do
not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed
to help their clients establish mail
order selling and other businesses at
home. Under NO circumstance
should you send any money in
advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to
guarantee loans regardless of credit
and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the
phone its illegal to request any
money before delivering its service.

Custom built home on nearly

pond frontage near Gaylord
Consider the pros and cons to each

As you embark on your venture to buy a
home, one of the first decisions to make is
whether to buy new or purchase an existing
home. Each choice has its advantages, and
there is no single answer that works for
everyone.
You may be drawn to the shiny new, energy-efficient appliances, the great room, and
the beautiful master suite offered in a new
home. But you may also like the charm, the
canopy of trees that drape over the sleepy
neighborhood streets, and the increasing
value of an existing home youve been eying.
Here are some things youll want to ponder as you decide which route to take.
Existing homes
Existing homes offer many considerations
for potential homebuyers, including:
The neighborhood. Many people are
drawn to developed neighborhoods for the
sense of community that has been established. The mature landscaping and developed trees are often a considering factor.
Maintenance and repair. If youre considering an existing home, be sure you have a
good handle on the working status of all
major systems. Hire a professional home
inspector to check out the house. As appliances and systems age they naturally require
repair and replacement, something which
may be reflected in a purchase price.
Home improvement. If you enjoy small
repairs and home improvement projects
around the house, then an existing home
would be your cup of tea.
Existing features. When you buy an existing home, you typically dont have to worry
about buying the extras, such as blinds for
the window, a security system, or a landscaped back yard.
Land. In most metro centers, new homes
may have less land than newer properties.
Why? Because of changes in land-use patterns.
Location. Existing homes are often found
in older, more convenient metro core areas
rather than outlying suburbs.
The opportunity to remodel. In some
cases buyers may prefer an older home in a
particular location which can be modernized or expanded. In effect, use the existing
home as a base to build a unique property.
Price. In general terms, existing homes
tend to be less expensive than new properties. As well, existing homes are likely to
come complete with items which may represent new home extrasblinds, landscaping,
built-ins, etc.
Track record. When you purchase an existing home, you know how much the property
has appreciated over the years in effect,
you have an index of sorts which measures
the communitys marketplace appeal. At the
same time, like stocks and bonds, you know
that past results do not guarantee future
marketplace performance.
Taxes. Depending on your state, you will
likely have lower property tax rates. Also,
many older households arent required to
pay for local bonds associated with new
development, such as schools, parks, or road
or transportation improvements.
Traditional layout. If you like the formal
living and dining rooms, an existing home
will likely satisfy you.
