2012 BASEBALL/SofTBALL
PART 1 of 2
By Chris Fiel
BOYNE CITY The Lady
Ramblers will be young with
only two players that return
from last seasons team.
Those two are senior Ketrin
Hocquard and junior Jessica
Sellisen.
The Ramblers also wel-
come senior transfer Tanner
McCune to the roster along
with Tess Seelye who did not
play as a junior.
We expect to be competi-
tive, veteran Rambler coach
Sandy Clausen said. Were
young, but talented as we
have five underclassmen, it
all depends on how they de-
velop.
I think most games will
come down to who can put
the most runs on the board.
Boyne will look to Hoc-
quard and Sellisen to lead the
offense as well as get key con-
tributions from many of the
underclassmen that swing
the bat hard.
The pitching duties will be
split between a trio of ath-
letes with both Tanner Mc-
Cune and Rainy McCune
seeing action along with
freshmen Katelyn Banner.
Boyne Ci ty Softbal l
Lady Ramblers to be competitive.
Solid defense, timely oense will be keys to victory.
By Chris Fiel
BOYNE CITY With only re-
turning a pair of starters of last
seasons Lake Michigan Confer-
ence co-championship team,
Boyne City coach Todd Shu-
maker knows there may be some
growing pains.
We are young; were working
on all of the fundamentals; hit-
ting, throwing, fielding, base run-
ning, etc.
The coach said. This group is
very coachable, were trying guys
at new spots, learning new posi-
tions, but they listen, they dont
argue and so far we like what we
see in practice, it will be a learn-
ing process for everyone.
After losing seven starters to
graduation, with three of them
playing ball at the colligate level,
the Ramblers will rely heavily on
the two returnees, those two
starters, Elliott Hausler and Zeek
Beek will look to lead Boyne.
Hausler will be the top hurler
for Boyne City and will look to
use the experience he gained last
spring to mow down opposing
hitters.
We are a junior heavy group,
Shumaker noted. We look good
at times, they know we will make
mistakes and we will learn from
them going forward. Once we
get past that learning process, we
will be pretty sound. The goal is
to be playing good ball at the end
of the year.
When asked
about who will
take over the offen-
sive leadership for
the Ramblers this
season, the coach
wasnt really sure.
A lot of it has to
do with the new
bats that we have
to use this sea-
son, he said. The
MHSAA has
changed the bats
from the BESR rating to the new
BBCOR rating.
From what limited use we
have seen, the new bats dont
have as much pop as the BESR
bats, this will make more teams
hit singles and look to manufac-
ture runs as opposed to hitting
the long ball. We really dont
know who is going to lead us of-
fensively this season.
The Ramblers will look to an-
swer some of those questions as
they have a scrimmage prior to
their first conference double-
header on April 13 as they travel
to Elk Rapids.

The Mack-
inac Bridge
Authority
(MBA), in
partnership
with Lt. Gov.
Brian Calley,
Corner
Pieces, and
the Autistic
Childrens
Treatment
Network
(ACT), will
hosted a spe-
cial public bridge-viewing ceremony
at the St. Ignace Country Club in St.
Ignace on April 2 in honor of Global
Autism Awareness Day. Light It
Blue Michigan is an autism-aware-
ness campaign launched by Corner
Pieces, a non-profit organization
based in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., ded-
icated to improving the well being of
children and families living with
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The Mackinac Bridge was lit blue at
sundown on April 2 to kick off the
month-long campaign.
This is another important mile-
stone involving the Mackinac Bridge
and the health of Michigan citi-
zens, said William H. Gnodtke,
MBA Board Chair. By being a part
of this great program, hopefully we
will not only raise awareness about
autism, but also help increase sup-
port for families coping with this
disorder.
ASD is a neurodevelopment disor-
der that affects a childs ability to
communicate and socialize with oth-
ers, and usually appears within a
childs first three years. Over 15,000
children in Michigan have autism,
fourth-largest in the U.S. More chil-
dren will be diagnosed with autism
this year than with AIDS, diabetes
and cancer combined; there is no
medical detection or cure for autism.
Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, an outspoken
advocate of expanding Michigans
health care coverage for children af-
fected by autism, will be the featured
speaker at the event. Setting our
states most iconic structure aglow
in blue will send a strong message
about the importance of helping
children with autism, said Calley,
whose 5-year-old daughter Reagan is
being treated for autism. I greatly
appreciate Light It Blue Michigans
work to highlight this vital health
issue. Additional speakers are ex-
pected to include Corner Pieces
President Ben Duff, ACT President
Murray D. Wikol, DTE Energy offi-
cials, and others.
ACT President Murray D. Wikol
and his wife Nanette, known as pio-
neers in the fight to diagnose and
treat autism, are sponsoring the cer-
emony at the St. Ignace Country
Club. Since 1995, Wikol has shared
his passion throughout the United
States and abroad by investing heav-
ily in autism research and educa-
tion. Wikol also is the
longest-serving member of the MBA
Board. The Wikols daughter Anika
was diagnosed with autism when
she was 14 months old.
In addition to the Mackinac
Bridge, other locations participating
in Light It Blue Michigan included
the GM Renaissance Center, DTE En-
ergy offices, the Motor City Casino,
Madonna University, and Wayne
State University. For more informa-
tion, visit the campaigns Web site at

By Sandy Cook
Its amazing what people can be allergic
to. Foods, animals, molds, dust, pollens,
chemicals, insect stings or bites the list
is long. This article focuses on common
airborne allergens and looks at methods
for allergy-proofing your home.
First, lets go over some of the more
common, allergy-related terminology.
Allergen: A substance that your body re-
gards as alien and as an irritant, thus trig-
gering an allergic reaction. House dust,
consisting of both indoor and outdoor ele-
ments, dust mites, dander, molds and pol-
lens are common allergens. These
sneeze-inducing annoyances can be car-
ried on animals or found in upholstered
furniture, carpets, drapes, towels you
name it. Remember, though late summer
is generally the most allergy-intensive
time, indoor allergens are a constant
throughout the year.
Allergic Rhinitis: Commonly known as
hay fever.
Allergy: An extreme reaction to an aller-
gen, as a result of the release of hista-
mine or histamine-like substances into
affected cells. Note that some allergic-type
responses, like asthma, are thought by
some to be prompted by stress. Ask your
doctor about this if youve any doubts.
Anaphylaxis: Life-threatening response
to an allergen. If this occurs, do not hesi-
tate. Find a doctor! Symptoms: Wheezing
or difficulty in breathing, lightheadedness
or dizziness (indicating lowered blood
pressure), rapid or irregular heartbeat,
possible swelling or hives, and uncon-
sciousness.
Animal Dander: It is not normally fur or
feathers that act as allergens, but rather
animal (or even human) dander, also
known as dandruff. Its best to be tested by
an allergist for dander hypersensitivity.
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air):
This label is seen on specially built air fil-
ters that, with their microscopic pores,
can filter out allergens. To reduce air-
borne allergens, equip your air condition-
ing or heating units with such filters. You
can also purchase, at reasonable prices,
HEPA-adapted vacuum cleaners.
Histamine: A substance released by your
immune system after an encounter with
an allergen. This results in annoying
symptoms like sneezing, runny noses, wa-
tery eyes, itching and swelling.
Immunotherapy: At present, this is the
only long-term treatment available to de-
sensitize allergy sufferers. This involves a
series of shots, over a space of years, with
each successive shot containing an in-
creased amount of the allergen in ques-
tion. While possibly unpleasant, such
treatment has a high success rate, and
could allow you to keep that beloved pet.
RAST (Radioallogosorbent Test): The
blood test that allows physicians to pin-
point allergies.It also rates the degree of
your sensitivity.
Now, what can one do about their aller-
gies?
As stated above, shots may be required.
In any case, if at all possible, youll want
to remove whatevers causing the prob-
lem. This could mean getting rid of a
wood-burning stove, some overstuffed and
possibly dust-mite infested furniture, or
even all carpeting, which houses hoards
of potentially dangerous microscopic crit-
ters.
Youll also want to clean clean every
surface, and wash all fabrics. Upholstery,
drapes, towels and bedding should be
cleaned thoroughly and on a regular
basis. Also, hard surfaces like window
sills, floors, walls, cabinet fronts and inte-
riors and countertops need to be washed
down. Even with the utmost care, it may
be a full six months before the full bene-
fits are reaped.
If its a matter of pets, youve got
choices. There are always shots or doctor-
prescribed oral medication for less severe
cases. If the pet remains indoors, ideally
someone else can care for it. This person
would also wash the animal often. If you
do this, you avoid excessive contact, and
the cleaner the animal is, the less dander
will be spread. Throw in a good vacuum-
ing at least twice a week, and youre on
your way to a healthier, less allergic, you.
Of course, you might choose to keep the
animal outdoors. Still, where an animal is
concerned, always stop to ask yourself if
the treatment youre considering is the
best thing for it. It may simply be that you
need to find a new and loving home for
your furry or feathered friend.
Allergies can pop up in anyone in any
stage of life. For more details, call your
doctor or check on-line for web sites that
specialize in allergy prevention.
Copyright puBliSherS-edge
Allergy Proof Your Home
Get a RAST (Radioallergosorbent
Test) to help your doctor pinpoint your
allergies and rate your degree of sen-
sitivity.
Undergo immunotherapy, which, at
present, is the only long-term treat-
ment available to desensitize allergy
sufferers.
Purchase a HEPA (High-Efficiency
Particulate Air) filter equipped air-con-
ditioning or heating unit that filters out
allergens from the air in your home.
You will probably want to remove
whatevers causing the problem from
your home, whether its a wood-burn-
ing stove, certain furniture or fabrics
or even carpet.
Clean every surface, and wash all fab-
rics including upholstery, drapes, tow-
els and bedding and hard surfaces
like window sills, floors, walls, cabinet
fronts and interiors and countertops.
If the culprit is a pet, you may opt for
immunotherapy. You may designate
someone else in the home to take
care of the pet and wash it often. You
may even decide to find a new and
loving home for your faithful friend.

watching every up tick and
down tick in the loan rates,
talking to numerous brokers
and banks, trying to get the
best possible deal and saving
a few bucks here and there
on points, fees and other ex-
penses.
In our practical experi-
ence, its all about what is the
buyer qualified for and what
can they afford? Rather than
trying to get the absolute best
loan deal, spend time to
make sure you have the best
available loan broker or
mortgage banker.
An experienced and well
qualified professional can
smooth over the bumps and
mini-crises that are experi-
enced with almost every
home loan these days. Banks
and finance companies are
very stringent about their
rules and procedures. Having
someone who knows the
ropes and few short cuts can
greatly help you save time
and annoyance when closing
your loan for your new home.
You may have to spend an
extra couple hundred bucks
but the lack of hassle and
last minute negotiations and
financial scrambling should
more than make up for it.

The Top Three Mistakes that Home Buyers are Making?
Real Estate Corner
Featured Property
By Jim Akans
This is definitely the whole
package. Lake Charlevoix never
looked so good as it does from
this unique and spectacular set-
ting featuring not just onebut
two fabulous homes situated on a
beautifully landscaped parcel
that features 50 feet of frontage
along the gorgeous crystalline
blue lake waters.
The main home is a three-bed-
room, two-bath residence that in-
cludes such wonderful features
as a large living room with
cathedral ceiling and two glass
doorwalls that frame a fantastic
view of the lake over an outdoor
deck area. Wood flooring and an
abundance of cabinetry space
highlight the kitchen. The main
home also features a fireplace,
inviting sunroom and the con-
venience of an attached garage
and main level utility room.
The charming guest home on
the property includes two bed-
rooms and a bath and a half (the
latter on the finished lower
level), and a main living area fin-
ished with the warm wood tones
of tongue and groove walls and
rich, hardwood floors.
Other highlights of this sec-
ond home include an elegant
wood-burning fireplace with a
brass grille and tile hearth.
There is a sun porch on the back
of the home that offers an excel-
lent spot for enjoying the fabu-
lous lake views without being
bothered by outdoor pests.
This is a rare opportunity to
invest in a family destination
complete with an additional
guest home that is sure to set the
stage for countless memories in
the years to come. Located at
1489 Lake Shore Drive near
Boyne City, this fantastic home
and charming cottage in a su-
perb Charlevoix lakefront loca-
tion is listed at $599,900.

Sitting across from the 27-
year-old soldier at the
Charlevoix library on a sum-
mer day, observing his quick
smile and steady calmness, it is
surprising to nd out that he
was nearly killed in
Afghanistan when the truck in
which he was riding hit an Im-
provised Explosive Device and
blew up.
Platoon Sgt. Troy Drebenst-
edt said he was thrown into the
side of the vehicle, hitting his
head and suering other in-
juries. e next thing he knew
he was on his feet heading
down the road, intent on nd-
ing whomever planted the IED.
I was extremely angry, Troy
said. A medic who had noticed
signs of a concussion came to
get him and his superior ocer
ordered him back to the truck.
e other four men riding with
him also sustained injuries, but
no one was killed. e explo-
sive device was made with the
intention to kill everyone in a
large radius anywhere near it.
It was 300 pounds of explo-

sives. Forty to 100 pounds is
the usual size, Troy said. It
cut a hole six feet deep across
the road.
He is blessed, he says, and
he credits his character to his
Christian faith and his up-
bringing. His anger dissi-
pated and he separates the
Afghan people from the ter-
rorists.
Being angry with a whole
race is buying into their big-
otry, he said.
Troys job in Afghanistan
was one of the most danger-
ous. He was part of the Com-
bat Engineering Unit, known
as SAPPERS. He performed
route clearance, that is, his
job was to nd IEDs planted
by the terrorists and clear the
area of them for safer travel
by the military.
Its one of the toughest
jobs, but the number one
threat to our troops are the
IEDs, Troy said.
Troy served in
Afghanistan for 10 months
and prior to that he served in
Iraq for 14 months. He is
now home in Marquette, un-
dergoing treatment for his
injuries and attending
Northern Michigan Univer-
sity. But he sees himself back
in Afghanistan within the
next two years.
Troy is the son of Marlys
and Bob Drebenstedt of
Charlevoix. Troys father is a
county commissioner who
retired from the military and
Troy grew up knowing that a

EAST JORDAN
When grabbing the leash
to take Fido for a walk in
the city of East Jordan, dog
walkers are advised to grab
a disposable bag, as well.
An ordinance was intro-
duced at the city commis-
sion meeting on Aug. 3, to
amend Section 6-36 of the
Code of Ordinances. Sec-
tion 6-36 addresses re-
moval of dog feces if a dog
happens to decide a neigh-
bors lawn is the perfect
place to nd relief. But the
new ordinance adds the
language that states:
Anyone walking their dog
on property other than
their own shall be required
to have a disposable bag
.
Also at the meeting, the
city administrator updated
the commission on the
construction of the Emer-
gency Services Facility. e
main part of the building
and the EMS wing were
under a roof, allowing the
electrical and plumbing
contractors to begin their
portion of the work. ere
is still some ooring to be
poured in the Fire Wing,
the concrete walls are in
place and the roof tresses
on this portion of the
building will be up soon.
e completion target date
is early fall.
Mary Faculak, president
of the East Jordan Cham-
ber of Commerce, gave a
presentation to commis-
sioners that informed
them of what the Chamber
does for the city, and up-
dated them on events the
Chamber has sponsored.
She said she is excited
about the Main Street Pro-
gram.

BOYNE FALLS First year
head coach Richard Matelski likes
what he has seen so far this
spring in his young squad.
We are further along than I ex-
pected, coach Matelski said. For
being so young, I am pretty im-
pressed with the skills that we
have, as I was worried about hav-
ing to hold the upperclassmen
back while teaching the younger
kids.
While this may be Matelskis
first go as a head coach, he is no
stranger to the Boyne Falls
dugout. He has spent the previous
six seasons as an assistant in the
program and feels that with the
familiarity that there wont be
much of a change now that he is
running the show.
The girls know what to expect
from me, and they know what I ex-
pect from them in return, he
noted. There really isnt going to
be much change, as long as we
work on the fundamentals and ex-
ecute the little things, we should
be able to hold our own.
The Loggers will look to a pair
of upper classmen to lead the
team this season. Senior Kristen
Matelski and junior Melody Ann
Harmon. Kristen will do a major-
ity of the catching for Boyne Falls
this season as well as be counted
on to be a solid stick in the middle
of the line-up, while
Harmon will see
some time on the
mound as well as
see time at both sec-
ond and third base.
She also brings a
good bat to the top
of the line-up.
A group of sopho-
mores in the form of
Emily Matelski,
Calsey Matelski,
Kathryn Miller,
Charlene Bearss
and Sarah Benedetti
bring some talented youth to both
the offense and defense.
Emily will be the Loggers num-
ber one pitcher, while Calsey will
return to her first base position.
Miller and Bearss will see time in
the middle infield and Benedetti
will anchor the outfield.
Boyne Falls opens play at Gay-
lord St. Mary on April 10 at 4pm.

CHARLEVOIX Coach Ken Hoff-
man returns a solid cast from last
seasons district champion team, in-
cluding six starters.
The Rayders are looking to take
the next step.
Charlevoix will be led by senior
pitcher Kristen Mielke, who went
11-2 on the mound a year ago, and
hit for a .395 average. She will also
see time at shortstop and third base.
Chelsie Hoffman will also be
counted on to lead the Rayders,
Chelsie will split time between first
base and catcher, and she also
brings a solid stick to the line-up
where she batted .333 as a junior.
Junior Katie Hybl will pitch,
catch and play short. She was All-
district catcher last season as a
sophomore where she batted .500
with 27 RBI.
We return some experienced
players and will look to them to lead
us, Charlevoix coach Ken Hoffman
said.
The six seniors that will provide
leadership are: Mielke, Hoffman,
Paige Montgomery, Addie Loper,
Anna Moon and Nicole Pischner.
Moon will patrol the outfield in
left field, while All-district selection
Jennifer Archey will move from
right field to center and returns her
potent bat to the Rayder offense
where she hit .359.
Jacy Herriman will see time at
second base and on the mound and
Rachel Schull is also
looked at to con-
tribute. Freshman
Nicole Peterson will
see significant time
at third and fellow
freshman Kaitlin Lo-
viska will catch.
Another positive
for the program is
that we have a junior
varsity team for the
first time in five
years, Hoffman said.
We have 13 kids out
for that team, we are
very excited.
We will see good competition in
our league, and look for East Jor-
dan, Kalkaska and St. Francis to be
among the leaders, he noted. Our
goal is to compete for the league but
win the district and capture a re-
gional title, and with it being held at
Charlevoix this season, that would
be great.
The Rayders play at Kalkaska on
April 13 at 4:30pm in a early season
test.

CHARLEVOIX The Rayders re-
turn all of their starters from their 10-
20 team a season ago, and things look
very bright for the Charlevoix base-
ball team.
With a solid group of seniors in the
form of ace pitcher Coby Herriman,
Andrew Potter, Issac Klooster, Jesse
Drost, Morgan Stewart and Travis
Rainey.
Herriman will look to continue
where he left off last season, where he
was 5-6 with a 2.18 ERA. He finished
the season very strong, tossing 71 in-
nings, allowing 40 hits, 34 walks and
fanned 120 batters. He hold the
Charlevoix record for strikeouts in a
season and a career (207) even before
his senior season.
Coby also scored 15 runs, batted .256
with 11 RBI and 16 stolen bases.
We have a great mix, coach Allen
Telgenhof said. We have very good
senior experience and leadership with
two guys who have started since they
were freshmen in Coby and Andrew,
and three other seniors who have
logged significant playing time (Stew-
art, Klooster and Drost).
Potter will hold down the number
two spot in the rotation and led the of-
fense with a .295 average, scoring 19
runs with a .375 on-base percentage
with 14 steals.
Both Herriman and Potter were All-
District selections last spring.
Junior Tommy Zipp, Stewart, soph-
omore Shane Sutherland, will all be
called upon to make the Rayder of-
fense go, both at the plate and on the
base path.
This group of sen-
iors are a great bunch
both on and off the
field, the coach said.
Theyre very hard
workers and that has
translated down to the
younger guys. It is a
no-nonsense bunch
and theyve gotten
themselves to a point
where they deserve to
win.
Also expected to
play pivotal roles for
Charlevoix this spring
are sophomore Luke Klinger behind
the plate, freshman Nate Moon takes
over at the hot corner, junior Tag Mc-
Creadie and freshman Will Telgenhof
will see time at both second base as
well as possible outfield duties.
Even with all of this experience,
there will be times well start two jun-
iors, two sophomores and two fresh-
men, Telgenhof noted.
Look for the Rayders to be among the
leaders in the Lake Michigan Confer-
ence, as they open play at Kalkaska on
April 13 in an early test.
