GAYLORD The Gaylord
soccer gals of coach Sean
Byram had a BIG week in the
Big North. On Tuesday, April
23, the Blue Devils outscored
perennial league rival
Petoskey 1-0 in a thrilling,
seesaw battle played in wet,
blustery conditions at home.
On Friday, the Blue Devils
outscored visiting league foe
Alpena 1-0 and on Saturday
they traveled to the field of
high-powered Cadillac and
secured a hard-fought 1-1 tie.
One catalyst of the three
victories for Gaylord was the
super play of senior goalie
Alex Simmons. Alex was sim-
ply sensational, permitting
just one goal in three match-es against three very tough
league foes.
In the intense, rain-soaked
battle with Petoskey, it was
Gaylords opportunistic jun-
ior midfielder Rebecca
Pensyl helping to write the
victory script, using her edu-
cated foot to beat talented
Petoskey goalie Kelsey Ance
on a penalty kick midway
through the first half.
That proved to be the only
shot that beat either goalie
on the day. Ance made sever-
al strong stops to prevent
Gaylord from adding to its
lead and Simmons turned
away everything directed her
way. Alex made a spectacular
diving save on a breakaway
with about eight minutes left
to preserve the narrow lead.
Alex had plenty of support
in front of her as Kaycie
Burroughs, Brooke Stier,
Lindsay Zaremba and Arica
Alread formed a Blue Wall of
Defiance. Hustling midfield-
ers Kaylor Mikolowski and
Chelsea Fox also helped tobolster the defense with their
heady play and accurate out-
let passing.
Senior striker Sarah Polena
was perpetual motion for the
Blue Devils, as usual, helping
to launch an assault that
accounted for eight shots on
net. Maddie Hamilla, Brandi
Wagner and Pensyl also kept
the heat on.
ON FRIDAY in the tense 1-
0 victory over Alpena, the for-
mula for success was very
similar. The defense in front
of Simmons clogged the
Wildcat passin g lanes and
Simmons took care of every-
thing that got through to her.
At the other end, the only
Gaylord goal of the match
came late in second half
when junior for ward Maddie
Hamilla took a perfect feed
from teammate Sarah Polena
and propelled one through.
On a day when the Blue
Devils were controlling play
at both ends, the one goal
was enough.
ON SATURDAY, the Blue
Devils traveled south to
Cadillac, a place where they
traditionally dont play very
well. Cadillac jumped to an
early lead in the match that
was rescheduled from earlier
in the month, but the visiting
Blue Devils rallied to forge
the 1-1 tie.
With Gaylord trailing 1-0 in
the second half, Kinsey
Burroughs found the flying
figure of teammate Taylor
Kaiser crashing toward the
net and delivered a pretty
feed. Kaiser accepted the
pass and came through in the
clutch, blasting a big-time
goal to salvage the tie.
After allowing the early
goal, Simmons was as
impenetrable as a granite
wall.
Gaylord improved to 2-1-1
with the victori es over
Petoskey and Alpena and the
tie with Cadillac.

MANCELONA The Lady
Ironmen brought the brooms
out on the home diamond
Monday, posting an impres-
sive sweep of Ski Valley foe
Forest Area. The scores were
14-3 and 17-1.
Senior ace Kallie Derrer,
back after guiding
Mancelona to 25 wins and its
first-ever district title in soft-
ball a year ago, is picking up
right where she left off. Kalliewas cool, collected and in
control from the circle as she
hurled her team to the sweep
of the Warriors.
In the opener, Kallie
notched nine Ks in four
innings of work and didnt
permit the Warriors a single
hit. Dakota Derrer hurled one
inning of relief, striking out
two and allowing one hit and
one unearned run.
Mancy simply manhan-
dled Warrior pitching the
twinbill, muscling out hit
after hit in an 11-run first
inning. Taylor Robbinsrecorded two hits and
knocked in three runs to help
fuel the offensive uprising.
Logan Allen also laced a pair
of hits and knocked in a pair
of runs. Kallie helped her
own cause, going 2-for-2 with
two RBIs and two runs
scored, and Dakota Derrer,
who set a national mark for
triples in a season last year,
was up to old tricks, going 1-
for-1 with an RBI triple. She
scored three times.
In game two, Kallie put the
K on six Forest Area hitters
in the mercy-shortened con-
test.
Dakota Derrer continued
to deliver at the plate, drilling
another triple and an inside-
the-park home run. She
knocked in four of Mancys
runs and scored twice.
Kallie Derrer and Logan
Allen were in line drive mode
again, each lashing a pair of
hits. Taylor Robbins rang up
an RBI single and Lindsey
Friday went 1-for-2 with two
runs scored.The Lady Ironmen are in
action again on Thursday,
May 2, at Pellston.

Cardinals
ONAWAY Onaway played
host to Ski Valley rival
Johannesburg-Lewiston on
Monday and Emmy Sizzle
was superb in the circle, as
usual.
Senior Emily Estep, now in
the fourth year of her phe-
nomenal prep career, had the
sizzle going and the visitors
from Johannesburg were not
able to do much. Onaway
won by scores of 9-0 and 7-0.
Emmy allowed five hits in
the opener with a walk and
she struck out 13 J-L hitters.
Morganne Badgero, who
has been just punishing
enemy pitching so far in the
young season, kept up her
blistering attack, going a
whopping 4-for-4 with a dou-
ble and four RBIs. Emmy,
who can also wear you out
with the bat in her hands,
laced a pair of hits and
knocked in two.
Temara Lupu lined a three-
run double while Megan
Estep, Lindsay LaLonde and
Sam Brasseur each belted a
hit.
Emmy continued to
assault the strike zone in the
second game, firing an effi-
cient three-hitter at the visi-
tors with eight Ks. Emmy
also muscled three hits,
including a double and a
majestic home run that somesay is still traveling out there
in space somewhere.
Badgero busted a two-run
single. Megan Estep and
Ashley LaLonde each laced
an RBI hit and Lupu went 1-
for-3.
Onaway, which improved
to 5-1overall and 5-1 in the

Thursday, May 2.
Mio powers past
Huskies
ATLANTA Mio mound
ace Jalen DeFlorio was just
perfect on Monday.
Jalen hurled a perfect
game in the opener of a twin-
bill with North Star League
foe Atlanta. She also won the
second game. The scores
were 16-0 and 10-1.
Mio slugger Kaylie Spies
put the spank on Huskie
pitching in the two games,
going 3-for-3 in the opener
and launching a home run in
the nightcap.
DeFlorio also propelled

Thunderbolts disposed of
Hale in a pair of real nail-
biters, 19-0 and 22-2.

she delivered with the bat as
well, battering Hale pitches
all game long. Jalen jacked
out two home runs and a
double and knocked in five
Mio runs with her powersurge. Steph Mangutz added
some electricity of her own,
stroking a home run and a
triple with three RBIs. Mimi

put some sock into the attack
also, each drilling two dou-
bles.
Taylor Blamer earned the
win for the Thunderbolts in
the nightcap, permitting
seven hits in the mercy-
shortened contest. Leslie
Asman was a line drive wait-
ing to happen each time at

and a double. Kaylie Spies
and Steph Mangutz also
mashed a triple and double
apiece and Rondo ripped two

all and in the Ski Valley with a
tense sweep of host Forest

GAYLORD The Gaylord
boys and girls track teams
played host to Big North foes
Cadillac and Traverse City
West on Wednesday, April 24.
The girls of coach Jeff
Kalember earned a split
against the two tough oppo-
nents, defeating Cadillac 89-
68 but falling to the Titans 99-
89.
Were using these dual
and tri-meets to try girls in
new events and experiment abit, Kalember reported. Im
confident we can beat both
teams at our Big North finals
in late May.
The big scorers for the
Gaylord gals once again were
seniors Alanna Johnston and
Allison Fischer, each of
whom scored a whopping 20
points.
Alanna, who puts the V
in Versatility, cleared 5-foot-2
in the high jump for the first
time in two years, putting her
right on the mark for another
state finals berth. Alanna also
took the top spot in the 200
dash in a blazing time of 28.4seconds and anchored the
winning 1600 relay and the
runner-up 400 relay.
Allison tossed a career-best
108-3 feet in the discus, beat-
ing her old personal best by a
whopping five feet and near-
ing the state finals qualifier
mark at the same time.
Fischer also captured the
shot put with a Herculean
heave of 33 feet, 6 inches.
Katelynn Dreyer, Cindy
Fiser and Andrea Mason
each had 13 points to provide
another boost for the Blue
Devils.
Katelynns relays and 400dash were a huge plus for us,
Kalember said. Fiser and
Mason continue to impress
me in the hurdles. Theyve
worked extremely hard the
lastg two years and its paying
dividends.
Dependable Mai Dao and
Erin Borgeson rounded out
Gaylords top scorers, helping
the cause in the relays and
open events.
Dreyer, Borgeson and Dao
teamed with Johnston in the
dominant 1600 relay (4:30.4).
Dreyer capped her outstand-
ing day with a first-place fin-
ish in the open 400 (1:04.1).Grace Sanders soared to a
season-best distance of 14
feet, 6 inches, good for sec-
ond in the long jump and
feisty freshman Mallory
Marshall motored to second
in the 1600 run (6:14.2).
The Gaylord boys also
boasted some very good
individual performances.
Smooth-striding senior
speedster Trae Hill thrilled
the home fans with another
blazing outing in the 400
dash, finishing a blink
behind Tyler Johnson of T.C.
West.
Senior Nate Fischer, reli-able as the times tables, flew
to first in the 800 run and
took second in the 1600 run,
just behind Alex Ondrajka of
the Titans.
The Blue Devils fleet four-
some of Fischer, Hill, Jake
Henley and Collin Watters
poured it on to take first in
the 1600 relay. Steven Fitzek
was a flier for the Blue Devils
in the 110 high hurdles.
Gaylord was on the road
this Wednesday, May 1, in
another league meet at
Alpena.

awesome day, firing a 76 on
the challenging Cadillac

17 other teams in Div. 2-3-4.
On day 1 on the Wolverine

GRAYLING The Grayling
girls varsity soccer team
worked its way back to the
.500 mark, with a 5-0 shutout
of rival Kalkaska on
Thursday, April 25.
We came out right away
and dominated the middle,
said Viking head coach Craig
Cobb. This allowed us to
have complete control and
continue to move the ball
around the field setting each
other up.
The host Vikings took con-
trol of the game and connect-
ed well on crosses and 10 to
15 yard passes, according to
their coach.
Senior Hannah Haven had
3 goals to lead the Grayling
soccer squad, while junior
Colbie Wakeley and sopho-
more Hailey Whittaker each
had one goal. Also, junior
Tandy Mitchell notched 2
assists, with senior Alyssa
Morley adding another
helper.
The win over the visiting
Blue Blazers improved
Graylings overall mark on
the 2013 season to 3-3 and 2-
3 in the Lake Michigan
Conference.
Grayling 4,
Roscommon 0The match versus at
Roscommon on Wednesday,
April 24, might not have
started the way the Lady
Vikes would have wanted.
But, the end result was exact-
ly want Grayling had worked
for, with the team heading
home with a 4-0 victory over
the host Bucks.
We came out on our heels,
but were able to gather our-
selves and take control of the
middle of the field about 10-
15 minutes into the game,
Cobb said. At that point, we
began applying pressure to
the Roscommon defense.
Haven helped get Grayling
on the board, as she maneu-
vered through the defense off
of an assist by Mitchell to go
up 1-0. Hannah scored two
more before half.
In the second half, the
Lady Bucks stepped up their
defense and made it difficult
to score. But that didnt stop
Haven, who again found the
back of the net for her fourth
goal of the match off an assist
on the throw-in from senior
Maddie Benardo.
Mitchell, Morley and
Benardo each had an assist inthe game.
Overall, I was happy with
our performance, Cobb
added. We need to work as a
team starting each game
strong, but I was very pleased
with the way we controlled
the ball and starting develop-
ing our passing.
Grayling 0, TC Liberty 0
(W )
The Lady Vikes couldnt
defend their home field on
Monday, April 22, against vis-
iting Traverse City Liberty,
despite keeping the visitors
scoreless in regulation, over-
time and even double over-
time.
We knew this would be a
game that would give us a
cadence for where we were as
a team, Cobb said. We
came out and played aggres-
sive and had multiple oppor-
tunities.
The Traverse City keeper
did a good job of closing out
our pressure and stifled theattempts we took.
Despite shifts in momen-
tum, neither team put a goal
on the scoreboard in regula-
tion play.
We had the wind with us
in the first half and con-
trolled most of that half,
Cobb said. The second half
came and the momentum
shifted slightly in Liberty's
favor.
But, still, there was no
score. Not in regulation. Not
in the first overtime. Not in
double overtime.
We went into penalty
kicks and lost, the coach
said. (But, Grayling keeper)
Laura Simpson played great
in goal with 10 saves and one
save during the penalty kicks.
I was happy with our
effort. We will be working on
how to become more effi-
cient on the offensive end of
the game.
While Grayling struggle d
offensively, Cobb added the
teams defense led by out-
standing play from senior
Sarah Goodyear, sophomore
Rachel Money, junior
Meghan Beard and Wakeley,
who dug and held of TCs
offensive push, according to
their coach.

PELLSTON The condi-
tions were pretty soggy but
the St. Mary baseball team
showed up and played pretty
well on Monday at Pellston in
a Ski Valley doubleheader.
Fueled by dominant pitch-
ing from Matt Spyhalski and
lightning lefty Brendon
Nowicki, the Snowbirds
recorded a 12-1, 10-1 sweep
of the host Hornets.
Spyhalski, a senior, had it
all working in the opener,
moving the ball in and out
and up and down and keep-
ing the hard-hitting Hornets
off stride. Spyhalski recorded
a no-hitter, striking out four
with one walk and an
unearned run.
Spyhalski supported him-
self at the plate in the opener,
spanking a pair of singles and
knocking in two runs.
Scrappy senior Nick
Lochinski laced three hits
and fleet centerfielder Nick
Harrington hammered out
two hits and swiped two
bases. Adam Nowicki also
stole two bases.
In game two, Nowicki per-
mitted two hits during his
time on the hill. Anthony
Zielinski was zoned in also,
pitching two scoreless
innings of relief.
Spyhalski continued to
spray hits all over the place in
the nightcap, generating two
more singles. It was also a
milestone game for feisty
freshman John Paul Zielinski,
who zapped the first two hits
of his young varsity career.
He also knocked in a run.
Pat OConnor and Nick
Lochinski each stroked sin-
gles in game two, as did
Anthony Zielinsk i,
Harrington and Jack
Lochinski.
St. Mary played nearly
flawlessly in the field, com-
mitting just two errors in the
twinbill in spite of the wet
conditions. The outfield of
Anthony Zielinski, John Paul
Zielinski and Harrington
showed up big on several
occasions.
St. Mary (2-2) played host
to Forest Area on Wednesday,
May 1, before traveling to
Inland Lakes on Thursday.

ONAWAY Two of the top-
tier teams in the Ski Valley
locked horns in an early-sea-
son baseball showdown on
Monday when
Johannesburg-L ewiston
made the trip to Onaway. The
host Cardinals prevailed in
the tense opener 6-5. J-L
owned a 4-3 lead in the
nightcap when the game was
suspended in the bottom of
the fourth because of dark-
ness.
Lefty Andrew Prow, fresh
off a no-hitter against Forest
Area in his previous start,
took to the hill in game one
for Onaway and Sean Paris
toed the rubber for J-L.
Onaway jumped to an
early 4-0 lead and never
trailed in the game.
Prow was strong in spite of
a spitting rain, going six
innings against the potent J-
L lineup, allowing three
earned runs while striking
out six.
Chris Cleaver connected
for one of the key Onaway
hits, a two-run double, and
he also scored a run. ChaeWhitsitt whacked a two-run
single and scored a run and
Andrew Perry was 1-for-2
with two stolen bases and a
run scored.
Paris pitched well for J-L in
the opener, not allowing an
earned run. He allowed six
hits in six innings of work
with four Ks. Senior Cole
Nagy tossed an inning of
scoreless relief, walking two
and striking out one.
We had two bad innings
and it killed us, said Hall of
Fame J-L coach Rick Guild.
We played pretty well in the
field other than that.
Onaways got a good team
this year. Their pitchers are
solid and they can hit the
ball. Theyre right up there.
Coalton Huff hammered
out two hits, including an
RBI double, and senior Alex
Payne pounded out two hits
with a two-run single.
Catcher Brad Kussrow
cranked an RBI double and
Paris produced two hits with
an RBI.
Jake Newell went to the hill
for J-L in the nightcap. He
fired four innings with six
strikeouts and four walks.
Whitsitt started for the host
Cardinals.
Koronka cracked a double
for J-L. Logan Huff laced an
RBI single and Payne pound-
ed an RBI single before thegame was suspended.
J-L slipped to 4-1 overall
and 4-1 in the league while
Onaway improved to 5-0
overall and 5-0 in the league.
Onaway plays host to Rogers
City on Thursday, May 2.

Cardinals of coach Rick Guild
put the broom to host
Bellaire in a Ski Valley twin-
bill on Friday, April 26. The
Cards won by scores of 8-5
and 7-5 to push their record
to a perfect 4-0.
Sean Paris lit it up in relief
in the opener, going the final
four innings to earn the W.Sean allowed just one earned
run and four hits during his
time on the hill.
Paris also helped his own
cause, cracking an RBI dou-
ble. Brad Kussrow was a per-
fect 2-for-2 with two walks
and two RBIs and senior Cole
Nagy also contributed, con-
necting for a timely two-run
single
Nagy earned the win in the
nightcap, also in relief. Nagy
was nearly perfect with his
stint from the third inning
on, allowing no hits and no
runs. The only blemish was a
walk.Coalton Huff had the bat
going, collecting three hits,
and Kussrow had another big
game, knocking in three
more runs. Garrett Koronka
also clubbed an RBI single.
Onaway sweeps past
Warriors
FIFE LAKE Onaway
pushed its record to a
sparkling 4-0 in the young
season with a sweep of host
Forest Area on Thursday,
April 25.
The Cardinals received
stellar pitching and defense
in the two impressive wins,
both shutouts. The scores
were 6-0 and 7-0.
In the opener, junior
Andrew Prow had the electric
stuff going for him as hezapped the Warrior bats
throughout the game. Prow
fired a no-hitter and broke
the school record for strike-
outs in a single game with 12.
Senior Andrew Perry
waved a wicked stick to sup-
port Prows pitching. Perry
pounded out three hits with a
double and he tore up the
basepaths, stealing three
times. Matt Tollini, Justin
Gedda and Christian Cleaver
each knocked in two runs.
In the nightcap, Chae
Whitsitt twirled the Cards to
the shutout triumph, allow-
ing two hits and striking outfour.
Perry continued to pound
the ball all over the place,
notching three more hits to
go with three more RBIs and
three more stolen bases!
Whitsitt was a wizard on the
basepaths also, stealing three
times, and he also generated
an RBI. Gedda churned it up
like cheddar on the bases,
recording five steals for the
fleet, free-running Cardinals.
Mio powers past Hale
HALE Mio powered to a
sweep of host Hale in North
Star League play on Friday,
April 26, taking the two by
scores of 18-0 and 19-4.
Charles Atin tossed a
three-hitter and struck out
seven in the opener and he
had lots of support. Nick
Mangutz manhandled
enemy pitching, muscling a
pair of hits and knocking in
two runs, and Zach Mack, the
Thunderbolts state wrestling
champion, showed he can
more than master the mats
as he mauled a pair of hits
and knocked in a pair of runs.
Bryson Devers, Seth
Thomey and Micah Thomey
also contributed hits to the
offensive barrage.
Brad Rhodes ruled on the
hill for the Thunderbolts in
the nightcap, striking out sixwith four hits and two earned
runs.
Seth Thomey tagged two
hits in game two, as did
Aaron Fox and Atin.
Hornets fall to St.
Ignace

talented non-league foe St.
Ignace on Friday, April 26,
but couldnt quite generate
enough runs to avoid a
sweep. St. Ignace prevailed in
the two wild, seesaw battles
by scores of 9-7 and 10-9.
Senior Jake Friedenstab
started and took the loss in
the opener, going the first
five innings. He permitted

perfect inning of relief, strik-
ing out two.

for the Hornets in the night-
cap, allowing four hits in four
innings with three Ks. Aaron
Kindell went two innings,
allowing two hits.
John Ritter recorded a
ringing single for Pellston, asdid Jared Reimann,

early going, ripped a two-run
double.

North Central Michigan Colleges Luncheon Lectures in
May will take a look at teaching math, and present the mem-
ories of an Air Force flight nurse. Both luncheons are at noon
in the Library conference room on the Petoskey campus.
On Friday, May 3, Brian Goetz, math instructor at North
Central, will talk about teaching math. While many careers
require an understanding of mathematics, the subject is
especially hard for some students. Brian Goetz left a career
in engineering to teach mathematics and now works with
developmental students at North Central. He will explain the
tools he uses to help students understand math concepts
and achieve their dreams.
On Friday, May 17, the Luncheon Lecture will feature the
memories of an Air Force flight nurse, rescheduled from the
cancelled luncheon on April 12. Linda B. Henry, Lt. Col.
(Ret.), a flight nurse with the Oklahoma Air National Guard,
served three tours of duty in the Middle East starting with
Desert Shield/Storm in 1991 and ending her 20-year military
career with Operation Iraqi Freedom. She will highlight her
career in the military and discuss her experiences while car-
ing for patients being transported on a C-130 aircraft.
During her last deployment she was the Chief Nurse for fly-ing operations in Iraq and the Horn of Africa.
Cost for the event is $9 and includes lunch. Reservations
are preferred. Call 231-348-6600 to reserve your place at the
table. Lunch begins at 11:30 a.m.
CHEBOYGAN - On April 22nd, Bishop Baraga first graders

boxes.

Daily WordTHURSDAY: 2 Samuel 24:25 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
25 David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peaceofferings. Thus the Lord was moved by prayer for the land, and the plague washeld back from Israel.
FRIDAY: John 16:23-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 23 In that day you will not questionMe about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything inMy name, He will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked for nothing in Myname; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
SATURDAY: Proverbs 15:29 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 29 The Lord is far from thewicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.
SUNDAY: James 5:14-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 14 Is anyone among you sick? Thenhe must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing
him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer offered in faith will restorethe one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins,they will be forgiven him. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and prayfor one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous mancan accomplish much.
MONDAY:Matthew 12:21 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 21 And in His name the Gentileswill hope.
TUESDAY: Matthew 17:18-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 18 And Jesus rebuked him, andthe demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once. 19 Then the disciplescame to Jesus privately and said, Why could we not drive it out? 20 And He*said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if youhave faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move fromhere to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. 21 [But thiskind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.]
WEDNESDAY: 1 Timothy 4:4-6 New American Standard
Bible (NASB) 4 For everything created by God isgood, and nothing is to be rejected if it isreceived with gratitude; 5 for it is sanctified bymeans of the word of God and prayer. 6 Inpointing out these things to the brethren, youwill be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constant-ly nourished on the words of the faith and of thesound doctrine which you have been following.

Pastor
Scott DistlerGaylord Evangelical
Free ChurchWhenever a tragedy occurs, we immediately hear people respond by saying,
Our prayers are with those affected. But does prayer really work or is it sim-
ply a religious motion that we go through to make us and others feel better?
The Bible gives a definite answer to this question in James 5:16 when it says,
The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much!
So does prayer work? According to the Bible prayer can accomplish much.But please understand that this is not simply some kind of a Divine blank
check. This verse doesnt mean that prayer is like finding a genie in a bottle
who will grant you any three wishes you have. There are some qualifiers in the
verse. First, it must be an effective prayer. Effective prayers are meaningful
prayers that are according to the will of God. So often when we pray we just say
words without really thinking about what they mean. Unfortunately, many of
our prayers come across like:
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if he hollers, Let me go
Eenie, meenie, miney, mo
The verse also says that i t is the prayer of a righteous man that accom-
plishes much. What makes a person righteous? You cannot attain righteous-
ness on your own because you are a sinner as am I. A righteous person is one
who has accepted the sacrifice of Christ, putting their faith totally in the death,
burial and resurrection of Jesus. A person who is right with God is a righteous
person whose effective prayers can truly accomplish much.

Fords F-150 SVT Raptor,the ultimate high-perform-ance off-road pickup truck,has a new Special Editionpackage customers canorder that adds moreunique touches to the hot-selling pickup. Fordrecently revealed the 2014F-150 SVT Raptor SpecialEdition, which adds uniquenew touches to Raptorsexisting Luxury Package,including a Ruby RedMetallic exterior colorand box-side graphics.Interior upgrades includeBrick Red seat bolsters

Raptor owners are looking for a high-performing, uncompromising off-roadpickup truck with the features and luxu-ries found in todays premium trucks,said Doug Scott, Ford truck group mar-keting manager. Since its launch in2009, weve continually moved Raptorforward in capability and design, and the2014 Special Edition is the best Raptor
yet.Raptor has found an enviable niche in
full-size pickups. SVT Raptor sales are up14 percent in 2013, with five out of thepast six months seeing record sales. Morethan 13,000 Raptors were sold in 2012.
Since launching as a 2010 model, theFord F-150 SVT Raptor has set thebenchmark for low- and high-speed off-road performance through aggressive all-terrain tires, industry-exclusive internaltriple-bypass FOX Racing Shoxdampers, skid plates and standard HillDescent Control. A Raptor develop-ment imperative has been continuousimprovement, so Ford expanded Raptorsfootprint for 2011 with a four-doorSuperCrew model joining the two-door
SuperCab original.For 2012 Ford began offering a grille-
mounted camera to improve driver visi-bility when climbing over rocks or otherobstacles. The 2012 addition of aTorsen limited-slip diff erential toRaptors 4WD system enables the truckto balance traction between both front

By Jim Akans
This is a wonderful, well-maintained and nicely appoint-
ed home located in a peaceful, wooded setting on the
shores of an all-sports lake.
This is a rare lakefront offering, f eaturing 3.64 acres of
wooded property embracing the nicely landscaped grounds
surrounding the home, nearly 220 feet of lake frontage, plus
the added convenience of a paved road fronting the home.
The result is a tranquil, northern setting that offers all the
extraordinary benefits of a lakeside lifestyle, including
swimming, boating and fishing (pike, perch, bass and even
rainbow trout), yet when its time to head for town, the
route is paved and travel-friendly.
The home has approximately 2,450 square feet of nicely
finished and maintained living space; 2,000 square feet on the main
two levels and an additional 450 square feet of finished space on the
lower level. That includes four bedrooms, two baths, a huge living
room with a magnificent wood burning fireplace with stone surround,
a large family room area in the f inished basement, and much more.
The kitchen is spacious and highlight by an abundance of beautiful-
ly finished wood cabinetry and a full compliment of appliances. The
adjoining formal dining area offers access to the outdoor patio. The
design is open and air y, and there are picturesque outdoor views from
every window.
There are lots of outdoor amenities as well. There is plenty a spacefor vehicles and storage for those lake toys in the detached 30 x 40
garage, plus a separate storage building with a workshop space. There
is also a paved spot custom designed to park an RV. A 12 x 12
screened in gazebo is the perfect place to enjoy the outdoor setting
without being bothered by insects, and there is even a horseshoe pit
on the grounds for honing those ringer skills.
The home has also been well insulated, and has a forced air heating
system that is fed by natural gasanother rarity for a lake retreat.
This exceptional northern get-away has been recently reduced to
$310,000. Call Koske Realty today for a private showing. (989) 732-

ChecklistTips for SellersCompliments of Ed Wohlfiel
It doesn't matter whether you are sell-
ing your home as a short sale or as a tra-
ditional seller, your checklist for home
selling is identical. There are certain
things on a home selling checklist that
every responsible seller should do.
You would utilize your home closing
checklist after all of your personal
belongings and furniture has been
moved. Although, not every seller is
required to prior to or on the day of
closing, most home sellers find that
they can't begin to wrap up the process
until everything is removed from the
home.
Part 2 of 2
Closing Checklist Tip #6: Cancel or
Transfer Utilities, Stop the Newspaper
Make up a list of phone numbers in
advance of each of your utility compa-
nies. Not every utility is always paid
monthly, some are quarterly. If you sub-
scribe to the newspaper, you might have
to order your cancellation a week or
more in advance to stop newspapers
from piling up in the front yard.
Closing Checklist Tip #7: Leave House
Keys, Remotes, Gate Keys, Mailbox Keys
Even though the buyers will probably
change the locks, find every house key,
remotes for the garage or ceiling fans,
keys to the gate and mailbox, if any, and
put them in a kitchen drawer.
Closing Checklist Tip #8: Assemble
Appliance Manuals, Receipts and
Warranties
As you were packing, you may have
come across manuals for the HVAC,
security or sprinkler system or appli-
ances, and set them aside. If you have
receipts from contractors or warranties,
put them into an envelope and leave
them in a drawer with the manuals,
along with the code for the security
alarm.
Closing Checklist Tip #9: Check
Cabinets, Drawers and Storage
If your spouse or friend says she has
gone through every room with a fine
tooth comb looking for anything left
behind, run one more check. You may
find nothing more than a razor in the
shower, but at least you'll be able to
shave in the morning. It will give you
peace of mind. I once forgot a black felt
hat I loved, which was adorned with
long peacock feathers, on the top shelf
of a closet and never got over that loss.
Closing Checklist Tip #10: Close
Drapes / Blinds, Turn off Lights and
Lock the Door
You would think this would be a
given, but you'd be amazed at how
many people forget to close up the
house. If nobody can see inside, the
odds of someone breaking in declines. If
the home will be vacant for a long time,
consider leaving behind an inexpensive
lamp on a timer.
